The Hunters and Their Prey - A Dark Sun Fable

A hunter from Gulg rushed from the cover of the trees and speared an erdland. At the same time, a Nibnese hunter rushed from the scrub plains and used his two-handed axe to fell the same beast. The two hunters turned on each other and began battling for their prey. 
After a brief fight, they two men collapsed from exhaustion and blood loss. They had battled aggressively, but neither was close to victory. They glared at each other fiercely, but did not have the strength to continue their struggle.
Hearing the commotion, an elf had watched the exchange. Now, seeing both men exhausted and wounded, he calmly used to his bow to dispatch them both. He then carried the erdland back to his tribe, along with a newly acquired spear and axe.

Session Seventy-Two: The Child

Note: For those unfamiliar with Dark Sun, psionics are called the Will for wild talents and the Way for trained psionicists.

When Vashti did not move through the portal, the rest of the group grew concerned. They left their kank in Kuresh and moved back threw the portal, to Fort Isus. Vashti quickly informed them that Samir was inside the armored caravan. The armored caravan began moving away, being pulled by huge mekillots at a medium pace.
The group rushed the caravan, with weapons drawn. There were guards walking along with the caravan and they scrambled to intercept the group. The troops had been expecting rest at the fort, not an attack, so they were caught a bit off guard.
Shade, Kalino, Kiara, and Vashti engaged with the wagon's guards, while Julius attacked the wagon directly. Julius began by using the way to burn the large ropes tying the mekillots to the wagon. Alaxander was turned invisible by Kalino and then used the way to move through the walls of the armored caravan, in order to explore it.
