Re: IC
Rahimi shakes his head no. Another long wail comes from further into the village and once again slowly dwindles.
Re: IC
"I think we're going to have to head for the sound," says Craig with reluctance.

Re: IC
"The place looks quiet enough," Tyner says. "Let's check it out. Watch out for traps."
Re: IC
Heading for the source of the wail you walk to the edge of what must be the village center. It is obviously a gathering center with an area for bonfires in the middle. Close to you lies a long haired, severely emaciated figure, the source of the wailing. It is not immediately obvious if this person is a man or woman. They lie on their back limbs jittering and eyes wide. There are more villagers in this area. Some watch the wailing person disinterestedly, two men talk animatedly, and a group of children chase a goat. You don't think that any of them have seen you yet.

Re: IC
Tyner is torn between his desire to offer medical care and the need for caution. These people don't look particularly dangerous, so he opts for the former.
"Can you tell what those men are talking about?" he asks Craig. "I'm going to go check out that person on the ground, since if I can be of some help. If there's any trouble, maybe you and Rahimi can assure them I'm a healer. Price, maybe you better hang back for now."
He approaches the figure slowly, hands in plain sight, trying not to look threatening.

"It's like seeing a concentration camp survivor," whispers Craig. "The villagers don't even care. I think we should give him or her some water from a canteen." He follows behind Tyner some distance, listening to the locals' speech.

Re: IC
Craig hears the two men and realizes that they are speaking about the moaning figure who they refer to as Bijan (a male name). One of them is saying that this it is common for him to have these fits while the other argues that this is different from the normal seizures. He is right in the middle of pointing out how the last time Bijan was like this was right before the foreigner showed up when the villagers notice the three of you (Price and Alex are staying hidden for now). The villagers all pause whatever they are doing and watch you approach.
Re: IC
Craig translates for the others what he has heard. "I'd better greet them," he says to Tyner. "How do you want to play this?"

Re: IC
"For right now, tell them we're here with medical help," Tyner says. "That's true enough for now, anyway."
Re: IC
Craig smiles and greets the villagers in Dari. "We are here with medical help," he says in the same language.

Re: IC
The villagers start to talk among themselves. Craig overhears the words "Badaa Bahan" (Elder Sister) and "shuria" (tribal meeting). After a minute one of the two men who had been talking about Bijan steps forward and says, "This happens to Bijan regularly, but if you can help him get some rest feel free to. I am Dalir, may I ask who you are?" A couple of the other villagers detach from the main group and head further into the village.

Re: IC
Looks like Craig is doing OK with the villagers.
Tyner checks out the man on the ground to see what can be done to help him.

"Thank you,Dalir," says Craig. "I am Craig Reynolds, and this man is Dr. Tyner. We are seeking the other foreigner who visited your village."

Tyner
You give the spasming man a small dose of a sedative to help calm him.
Dalir says, "I see. Badaa Bahan will want to meet you, and she can tell you about the foreigners. She is very old so we will have to go to her. Come, this way." With that Dalir and the rest of the villagers start to head further into the village.

Re: IC
After seeing to the sick man's comfort as best as he can, Tyner takes Craig aside. "I don't think we should split up, but if you want to ask Price or Alex to stand guard back here, I'll go along with what you decide. There's no immediate danger so far, but I'd rather be part of a group if something comes up."

Re: IC
Craig translates to the others. "We should go see the old woman," says Craig, "but not all of us need to go. That invitation may only have been for the two of us anyway."

Re: IC
"OK, we'll play it your way. Lead on, MacDuff."
Re: IC
Craig nods and follows Dalir to meet Badaa Bahan. "The others can keep an eye on things from a distance," he says. "We can keep in touch with our radios. If you think they should show themselves and come with us, though, I won't mind."

OOC: Ok so Alex and Price are going to remain hidden, but Rahimi is coming with you two since he had come out with you to help Bijan. |

Re: IC
When Tyner hears the old woman's translated words, he hopes there's a way they can get out of this mess without bloodshed. "Ask her if we can talk to our friend," he whispers to Craig. He makes sure to nod respectfully to the woman when she speaks. Obviously she's a force to reckon with.
