Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Unalaq has left the hut that he and Yuralria were speaking in... and Yuralria followed close behind still talking with him. It doesn't appear that Unalaq was too interested in continuing a conversation though. Suddenly, he stops and points at his hut while speaking privately to Yuralria.
He looks over to Tornuaq and whistles to get his attention. "If Yuraalria wants in to speak with Thorrin, by all means, let her. But do not leave Thorrin alone with anyone." He then turns on heel again and continues his march - it looks like he's heading toward the chief's hut with a sense of purpose.

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Maniitok nods to Tornuaq.
Everything will be fine… I will begin the preparations myself. Look after your friend. I hope the council will allow Thorrin to stay with us…. If he has indeed turned on his own people, he could be very helpful if they return for more blood… Then again, what if they return and wage war just for him. It is a difficult decision and I am truly glad it is not mine to make. I will support you though Tornuaq in whatever you decide.
Maniitok puts his hand over his heart and then begins to gather a few of the remaining hunters. They all head to Ogtuk-Luk’s hut. The hunters seem to be excited they have simply been included.
Outside, the villagers have lost the air of anger and hatred that had been hovering over the entire village. Now they were all tangled up in the drama. Some followed Yuralria and Unulaq as they marched to the Elder’s hut having a seemingly hushed heated discussion. (I’m assuming you meant the Elder’s hut cuz that’s where Chief Kalituk is) Others followed Maniitok and the Dorset men he had chosen to help him in Ogtuk-Luk’s hut. And some (mostly women) stayed close to Tornuaq, smiling at Sashila and giggling whenever they met eyes with Tornuaq. Others simply lingered and looked to Unualaq’s tent (Where Thorrin is kept) with renewed wonder.
Chief Kalituk had been speaking with the elders since he returned. If the Dorset people were going to war, the Elders had to approve. The Elders all gathered in the same hut, day after day, and discussed tribal issues. Their concerns were usually for the hunt or the winter storage or whether or not a new couple was fit for marriage. The Elder’s hut was the largest structure in the Dorset village and during ceremonious times, most of the village could squeeze in. The last time the hut was used for council was with the Thule. The Dorset Elders decided to trade the hunting rights of the inlet (Where Unulaq, Tornuaq and Maniitok found the Belugas) for the right to hunt the caribou deep into Thule territory. (Unulaq and Tornuaq were being naughty Eskimos hunting on newly traded land) After the trade, the Elders threw one hell of a party.

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Tornuaq nodded his understanding to Unalaq, he had no intention of letting anyone in alone with Thorrin but it wasn't really the time to bring up these details. Instead he watched as Maniitok and the other hunters went off to make spears and he frowned slightly wishing he were around the fire with his brothers making spears, talking and reliving exciting moments of a hunt.
As the women stood around him, he smiled to each but said little and did his best to directly avoid their gaze, it was Sashila he was interested in but even now he almost wished she'd go away as well. He wanted to go in and check on Thoriin but not when so many people were about and he didn't want to leave Sashila's side either.

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Yuralria scowls a bit at Unulaq as she walks away from him, and heads across the village. She doesn't say a word to anyone, rather she whistles loudly for Alornerk and heads directly for her hut, making way to avoid Unulaq's hut and the rest of the villagers.

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Unalaq continued on to the elders' meeting place and knocked (or whistled, or tap-danced... whatever it is they do to introduce themselves at the door) awaiting permission to enter.
Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
OC – there is no formality with the elders. Anyone, man woman or child is free to enter the elders hut. If they don’t wish to see you, you will be asked politely to leave.
Unulaq enters the elder’s hut. It is a large tented structure lined with various skins and decorated with intricate bone carvings. A large fire is always lit in the center of the hut and the four elders sit on mats near the far eastern wall. Bone pots tied to Narwhale tusks are filled with burning scented oils that illuminate the elder’s faces. The elders have no rank amongst themselves and each elder’s opinion counts for the same. Chief Kalituk is standing in front of the elders holding his chieftain’s spear. When Unualaq first entered, Kalituk was shouting, but he quickly quiets himself when Unualaq storms in. He looks upset for a moment and then smiles when he sees Unualaq.
This is the hunter I was speaking of Elders. He is brave and will shed much light on these troubled times.
ooc – Go to pms again now please Imp so you can speak with the elders and Chief Kalituk in private.
The crowd hovering around Tornuaq and Sashila begins to lose interest as the evening progresses. It is almost time for bed in the village and there is much to do. Especially for those who have lost loved ones during the Ijiraat attack. Mothers and wives must gather stones to cover their lost loved ones. In this case, the dead were left behind, so the families will have to make do and perform what rites they think appropriate.
Some of the crowd lingers outside the elder’s hut, eager for news from the chief. Sashila wishes Tornuaq well as her father calls her to return home leaving Tornuaq alone with Thorrin.

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Tornuaq stood there alone in the dark sadly watching the image of Sashila disappear into the night. He then turned his attention back to his surrounding area making sure no one came towards the tent.
Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Tornuaq keeps watch over Unulaq’s hut as Thorrin rests peacefully inside. The village has all but cleared itself of any stragglers. He stares up at the sky as it begins to snow. Good news to Tornuaq’s eyes. The Viking archer that had escaped, during the assault on the Dorset brothers, could have easily led the rest of the Vikings back to the village by following their tracks through the snow. The fresh snowfall will make it that much more difficult. Of course, as a hunter himself, Tornuaq knew the tracks could be followed back to the village if the tracker was skilled and took his time.
A fresh snowflake lands on Tornuaq’s nose and it seems to melt away his anxieties. The night was quiet and he was finally awarded some peace. Then as if on cue, Tornuaq hears Thorin call out, his voice shaky and clearly frightened.
Ekki the hnífur! Tornuaq er minn vinur! Thoknast don’t drepa hann Melkorka!

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Tornuaq sighs deeply and ducks inside the tent, he really wished he knew what Thoriin was saying. "What is it Thoriin? What is so urgent?" Tornuaq stated putting his hands in the air in a confused state and shaking his head.
Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Unulaq leaves the elder’s hut and feels a glimpse of disturbing familiarity to the scene. The stillness of the air, the cold, the silence, the smell of fresh herbs and boiling blubber drifting from each of the village huts as they prepared themselves for the long night ahead. It reminded him of something….. something close.
Unualaq stops to ponder the feeling for a brief moment when he hears screaming coming from his hut. He spots Tornuaq darting in just after the screaming starts. Thorrin is in trouble.

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Unalaq wastes no time rushing over to his hut and entering within, his bone club in hand, ready for the worst.
Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Unulaq hears Tornuaq call for help just as he bursts into the hut.
Unulaq, Maniitok!
It’s difficult to understand what is actually happening. In the light of the fire, Unualaq sees Thorin floating in midair as Tornuaq desperately tries to hold him down. The Viking’s clothes are being shredded before his eyes. Tornuaq draws his new Viking Blade and begins to wave it through the air at nothing. As Unualaq enters the hut, Tornuaq stares dumbfounded at his brother before he finally regains his composure.

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe

Unalaq can hardly believe his eyes... but after everything else that's happened over the past couple days, is this really so far fetched?
He says to Tornuaq, "Keep him down... I will get the Shaman!"
He turns about and exits his hut to run full sprint into Yularia's own, not waiting for permission to enter.

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Unulaq arrives at Yuralria‘s hut and bursts in. The Shaman is deep in meditation, her legs crossed and her eyes closed tight. Bundled herbs and clay pots filled with colorful powders smoke and fizzle all around her, filling the room with a musty pungent odor. She doesn’t seem to notice Unulaq enter the Shaman’s hut.

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Unalaq physically shakes Yuralria out of her trance, "Come quick! Thorrin's being attacked!"
Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Yuralria is completely unresponsive for the first few seconds Unulaq shakes her. Her eyes then suddenly pop wide open.
Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
Yuralria opens her eyes with a start and stares at Unulaq, mystified for a moment. She blinks once, twice, then looks up at him, confused. "Waaahh??!"
"Unulaq! What is it??" She stands, somewhat unbalanced, tottering for a moment, then seeming to regain her composure. Without waiting for his response, she continues, "Yes, Thorrin....I remem.....er..I...uh....take me to where he is!" Her eyes flicker for a moment, avoiding his glance, then she grabs one of her pots of blessed ashes, and a few sticks with bones tied to them, and bolts for the door.

Re: Chapter 2 V-day! The Dorset Tribe
OOC: I just suddenly realized that we're like the characters from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Yuralria being Nynaeve the Wisdom, Unulaq would be Rand and Tornuaq Mat... damn, if I wasn't reading the books I'd have never of made the connection... Carry on.
