It's Night.
 Here in the middle of a small clearing merge two solid roads. The main road
 continues to the southeast towards a large grass plain, and to the
 northwest it leads deeper into the surrounding forest. The other road,
 basically only a narrow path, starts to the north. To the west begins the
 slope of a small hill, which has a ruin on its top. A road sign has been
 erected here and a large stone building stands near the roadside.
 - On the ground you see a dark shadow of Shinji.

northwest.

In a light forest.
 Mostly oaks and elms grow in this place, with a few pine and other
 evergreen trees among them. A very large pine stands nearby, and several
 bushes, vines, and other plants fight for space and light amid their larger
 counterparts. With some exceptions, the undergrowth is mostly not very
 dense in this part of the forest, making it easy to travel off the paths.
 To the west a huge mountain range towers over the forest. Far to the
 northeasteast are the ruins of an old tower. Far to the southsoutheast
 stands a huge oak on a low hill. Several large, thorny bushes block the way
 to the north. South of here, a thicket can be seen.
Calarandir blocks the exits south.

You tell Naga in Common: For years, if need be.

You tell Naga in Common: I won't let that happen.
>Calarandir tells you in Common: Maybe he has some knowledge the scribes do not have, yet...
Calarandir smiles at Naga

Calarandir tells Naga in Common: That would be a good compensation as well.
You tell Calarandir in Common: Eventually we will learn about that.
>Naga frees himself.

Naga says in Common: I am not a parchmentmaker, nor a tanner.
You ask Jahlad in Common: What all do you need to replace the books?
Naga goes hmmmm.
You tell Naga in Common: Then you could eventually pay those who are making prachments or are creating the leather.
>Jahlad says using the sign language: Parchments, for
that we need furs, some herbs and salt stones
Naga says in Common: Perhaps there is a harmonious method of book creation.

You tell Naga in Common: Of course.. we would need your vow that you won't ever
burn any book of the scribes guild again.
>Naga says in Common: Yet to be discovered.
Jahlad says using the sign language: in detail to make parchment that are grushes, datgaars, flaxes
Naga says in Common: I did not act for myself.
Naga says in Common: I acted out of compassion and for the souls who were trapped.
Jahlad says using the sign language: for leather we need furs and lime stones, I am not sure about the exact procedure
You tell Naga in Common: The animals were already dead, their souls were free.
>Naga says in Common: That is where you are wrong.
You tell Naga in Common: Killing them frees their souls.

Naga says in Common: I have proof about the souls.
Jahlad says using the sign language: Just like any being has a meaning.

Naga says in Common: Anyway, let me explain something...
Naga says in Common: Long ago, there was an ancient pact between hunter and hunted.
Jahlad says using the sign language: And I do not care for his sick theories or beliefs.

You say using the sign language: neither do I care about that.

Naga says in Common: In recent times, however, people rape the forest, and abuse the animals.

Naga says in Common: Their souls are trapped forever in this world, so long as their flesh is abused.
Naga says in Common: They endure unspeakable pain and misery.
You ask in Common: And that is your proof?
>Jahlad says using the sign language: we do not abuse them, we took care for the books, like for a precious treasure.

Naga says in Common: My proof is that, as I am one with the natural force of the world, I can liberate souls by my touch.
Naga says in Common: Give me a leather bag, a leather boot.
Naga says in Common: I care not.
Jahlad says using the sign language: He is talking about compassion, what about us, the Scribes, who have invested time, money and heart into these books and their welfare?

You chuckle.
>Naga says in Common: I will cause it to dissolve into nothingness, and a soul shall fly from the leather.
ask naga Then why didn't you go to the armoury in elvandar, or Arborea and did exactly this
 with everything crafted from leather there?
You ask Naga in Common: Then why didn't you go to the armoury in Elvandar, or Arborea and did exactly this with everything crafted from leather there?
>Naga says in Common: I have. I have stolen from it many times to rid it of the leather.
You ask Naga in Common: Why not just touch the times in the shop? Why steal them,
if your mere touch is enough?

Jahlad says using the sign language: Does he even care
for someone else than him, for the persons who earn their living by this?
You say using the sign language: Of course he doesn't care anything about
anyone but himself.
>Naga says in Common: It takes a degree of mental concentration, also.
You tell Naga in Common: And some fire I guess?
>Naga says in Common: The shopkeeper would attack me on sight if he saw me doing it to the items. It is most effective to steal.
Naga says in Common: Fire bears the same consequence. It reunites the animal with the earth, and frees its soul.

You ask Naga in Common: So you are telling me that all druids are nothing more but common thieves?
>Naga shakes his head in disagreement.

You chuckle.
