Humakti, Kolating, etc.
Hello from Sam
- Humakti swords.. Arrgh! Blush! etc. I had forgotten about sword breaking
at Humakti funerals. I guess it shows that the last humakti we had in
our campaign was 7 or 8 years ago. I'll need to rethink this. Perhaps
it was just his spare sword. Or his *bronze* sword? I know that he was
killed by the Orleving clan (curse them and their stinking Malani brothers)
as his son rolled 18 for a Hate.
- Kolating.. There are many things that a shaman could provide that you
(you young Orlanthi) would not be able to get from a priest or priestess.
A white lady might heal you or cure your disease but she wouldn't curse
anyone for you. A priest *could* divine the sex of your baby although
they almost certainly wouldn't unless you were very important but they
certainly wouldn't interfere with it. A shaman might. An abortion?
Try getting one of those at a Chalana Arroy temple. A lucky charm?
A rat repellent? Your husband has lost interest and the nearest Ulerian
temple is two days ride from here?... I see shaman as being totally
apart from the general structure of Orlanthi society and able to
dabble (successfuly or not) in all sorts of wierdo stuff. What the
Shaman do for themselves is a different matter but their bread and butter
would be all the mundane stuff an organised temple has little time for
along with the nastier things that they certainly wouldn't get involved
in. I don't think this neccesarily fits in with the formal RQ definition
of Shaman, but then what does that matter ;^)
- Varmandi - Coming along fine. First game on wednesday 8th. Wish me luck.
I'm just off to finish writing the player handouts.. I now wish I had
chosen a blank tribe to create as I have put so much work into it.
Oh well..
- Sandy & d6 game. Ah that's the game! I remembered that someone(s) connected
to RQ had written one of the d6 games. I *thought* it was Star Wars...
One of us do have a copy of Ghostbusters somewhere. I must go look at it
again.. I suppose they *could* have thought of it themselves - I did!
*honest*.. And I was mightily peeved when I saw yours.. ;-)
Cheers,
Sam. x
