To the Professor's dismay, the alleyway remains deserted as the two swarthy men advance. The shorter one snarls something in what the gentlemen can only presume must be Arabic and brandishes his fists in the manner of a seasoned pugilist. His giant companion smiles cruelly, making eye contact with the Doctor as he draws his thumb across his throat in the time honoured signal of menace. Above them, the curtain twitches and their lone spectator looks on with growing apprehension. For a moment in the alleyway, time stands still.

It is at this point that Sir Reginald surprises everyone by producing a revolver from his pocket and levelling it coolly at the two antagonists. To those well versed in the arcana of firearms, it appears to be an Enfield II, weathered from many years of service. He then surprises everyone a second time by uttering a phrase in Arabic which halts the two men in their tracks. They put up their hands, during which there follows a short exchange with the explorer, also in Arabic. Then they back away carefully. When a sufficient distance has been reached, they turn on their heels and return the way they came, but not before the larger man glares at the gentlemen once more and spits to the side one last time.

Auris is the boss, the masked man is his second...then there are the squad leaders. The second short-man is close to them though as some sort of advisor, so perhaps he will become a squad leader. He replaced Jylnath who was demoted after he got into an argument with Auris. The men are not all that happy about that. They liked having an Easterling in leadership, now it just seems that they only trust their own.

** please note... The player who was playing Zophiel’s work schedule has become too hectic at its present date. Zophiel will undergo a name change to Zathais and be played by a new player.

How about this tribe for our first encounter?  They are the only one that references mountains where we currently are in the game.
