Training Days (The EPIC RP)

[Paladin89]

Seeing the transports arrival and hearing the talk about its destination Etrius inclined his head too the transport that sat hoovering, awaiting its passengers. "Well I guess that's the one."Shifting the bag on his shoulder he began to walk to the transport thinking. Now what was the direction of that cabin...east, definitely east.
With a little spring, Etrius walked through the dust being blown up by the engines of the transport and up onto the back ramp. Stepping into the interior of the aircraft he saw only two other passengers seated. Squeezing through the the small isle of the transport, Etrius sat down in one of the empty seats. Putting his bag under his seat he lowered his head band over his eyes he stretched his his feet out, getting as comfortable as he could.
Closing his eyes under the head band he heard the old man talking to Kelinna. Then soon enough as to be expected the man called over to him.
"Hey wha' bout you?"
Etrius knew that the question was directed at him, the smell of the man's breath gave it away. Giving a lazy thumbs up Etrius replied, "Oh I'm fine thanks for asking."
Lifting up edge of the his head band Etrius looked at Kelinna, "Wake me when we get there please." Then lowering it back down he crossed his arms and leaned his head back. "Oh and if that guys bothers you too much I can show you a good way to throw him off. Be a good way to start your training."

Karras's frustration with all the commotion with the other passengers eases a bit with Etrius's last comment. With a bit of a chuckle Karras shits in his set and stretches his legs out across the isle, propping them up on the empty seat in front of him, "Not if I throw him off first." He mumbles as he settles in his seat, ready for the long flight to The Wastelands.

After about an hour of flying the transport begins to slow, descending back to the Earth. Sitting up in his seat, Karras prepares to leave the transport as the rear hatch pops open, lowering into the hot sand sending a blast of hot, dry, sandy wind into the transport.

Impatiently stepping over everyone's legs Karras makes his way out of the small transport first. Pulling a pair of sunglasses out of his cloak to shield his eyes from the bright sun as he leaves the shade produced by the ship's roof. Looking around for a moment to get his bearings he finds that he's been dropped off on the western side of the desert. Making an immediate turn, he begins heading east, knowing of a small oasis towards the center of The Wastelands.

Feeling the transporter land Kelinna turned to Etrius gently shaking him awake. "Mr.Etruis we've landed" Standing up Kelinna stretched her stiff legs, only to fall back into her chair by the impatient old man "here I come mah artifacts wait for me!" Shaking her head at the odd man she gathered her things, she made her way toward the exit.

Stepping off the transport she waited for Etrius a couple of steps away from the ship. Shrugging off her blue over-shirt Kelinna tied it around her waist leaving her in a baby blue tank top, still feeling hot Kelinna hoped that where ever they are heading was close. Hoping the place they where going was close by she looked around and saw miles of endless sand.

With a yawn and a stretched Etrius woke up as the turbines of the engines began to idle with a loud hum. Pulling up his head band he reached under his seat and grabbed his bags. Strapping them over his shoulder Etrius made his way out of the transport just to be blasted by hot sandy air. Raising an arm to block the assault from the wind he stepped off the ramp and onto hot sand. Kelinna stood near by looking around.
Walking up to her he covered his face as more sand was kicked up by the transport. Then with a roar the engines fired up full throttle, pushing the aircraft into the sky and away from them.
As the winds died down, Etrius lowered his arm and began to look around. "Well now, this is nice. Now which way is east." Doing a quick spin around Etrius stopped and starred off into the distance. "That should be east, I think," with a shrug, Etrius began to walk. "Come on now, it will be about a day and a half walk from here. That's if we don't get stopped on the way."
Looking off into the distance he could see one of the passengers on the transport a little ways ahead. "Looks like we'll have company too," he said looking back to Kelinna as he stepped down a sand dune as well as made the first steps of their journey.

Walking up and down dune after dune, Karras slowly makes progress on his walk for the oasis. Harsh sun and winds, only slowing down every step. After a few hours of walking, Karras finds a small rock outcropping in the sand and sits down. Pulling out his canteen he takes a swig of the cool water while taking a small break in the shade of the rocks, It'll be sundown in a couple of hours, I'd best find shelter soon, the dessert gets cold at night. He thinks as he stand back up, looking around for anything that would make for a shelter.

[kelinna]

Following Etrius, Kelinna started digging through her bag let out a triumphant sound, she pulled out a small map studying it briefly she went to catch up with him. Jogging up to his side she handed Etrius the now unfolded map "here I think this will come in handy." Trying to keep up with his pace, she lengthened her strides not wanting to hold him back.

"I hope its not that old man...I don't think I could handle him anymore." Wiping some of the sweat off her brow Kelinna tried to make out the person in front of them "I think the map said there is a oasis this way." Wondering if the stranger in front of them was heading toward the same destination, trying to think straight Kelinna could feel the sun rays frying her brains to mush. Spitting out some sand that got into her mouth she made a small thing of eco appear in front of her eyes like a visor to keep the sand out of them.

"Oh good, the cabin is to the east," Etrius said as he glanced over the map. Rolling it back up he handed it back to Kelinna as they began to trek up a steep dune, following the foot steps of the man in front of them.
With a grin and a chuckle Etrius looked at the man ahead, "No I don't think its the old man. Looks like the quiet one from here."
Looking over at Kelinna he saw that the sun was beginning to have some effect on her. Pulling the light scarf off from around his neck he handed it to her, "Here put this around your head, it will help with the heat." Then taking a banana from his bag he tied it around his face to keep the sand out of his mouth and nose.
Reaching the top of the dune he looked down to find the man ahead of them stopped among so rocks protruding from the sand. Looking up at the sky he saw that there was only a few hours of light left. "Seems like that guy has the right idea. Come on, we need to find shelter before night fall. If you like the heat of the day then you'll just love the night."

[kelinna]

Wrapping the scarf around her head she thanked Etrius,"the man that was sitting by himself correct?" Thinking back to flight Kelinna couldn't really recall the person, shrugging her shoulders she shoved the map into the bag carefully not wanting to rip the fragile paper.

"It gets colder right? At night in the desert, I remember reading a book about the Wasteland once it said while hot in the day the weather will quickly change to almost freezing temperatures." Studying the terrain Kelinna tried to see if there was any type of shelter large enough for Etrius and herself.

[DVM-501]

After a moment of looking around Karras finds a slightly larger outcropping a couple of dunes away with a small cave at the bottom. Setting off once again he makes his way to the new outcropping after half an hour of walking, the short distance lengthened by the slick sand from the dunes. Examining the small cave he finds it to be just big enough for one person and a bag of supplies. Removing his cloack, swords and gun he sets his weaponry in the back of the cave then lays down next to them, pulling his cloak over himself like a blanket to keep himself warm when the cool desert night winds begin stirring up.

[Paladin89]

Half walking, half sliding down the side of the dune Etrius made it to the rocky outcrop at the bottom. "Yeap, it gets real cold at night. I hope you brought a blanket because a fire is not a good idea out here."
Leaning against a rock, Etrius pulled out a canteen and took a swig. The sun was beginning to set quickly, already halfway below a sand dune one the other side of the outcrop, leaving it in shadow. Immediately the air began to cool, lacking the ray from the sun to keep it hot.
"This spot will have to do. I doubt we'll find a better spot by sun down." Taking his pack of he began to walk around the outcrop, rolling his soar shoulders. Looking around he saw a dead old tree, its bark striped away by the sandy wind, and the underlying wood bleached white by the sun. Thin white branches stretched up too the sky line the bones of a giant's hand. Walking over too it he pushed on it.
The old tree kreeked loudly. With a nod Etrius took a few steps back, "This will have to do." Turning around he ran for the tree then jumped, kicking the tree. The old wood bent and snapped under Etrius weight, sending it toppling too the ground. "Well that worked nicely," sitting on top of the boulder the tree had been next too.
Jumping down Etrius drug the tree and leaned it up against a boulder then taking a large blanket from his bag he draped it over the tree and boulder making a small leantoo tent. It was just enough to block the wind. Sitting down he pulled out another blanket and set it out, then pulled a small loaf of bread from the pack.
