A figure of averave hight and wearing a long bloak cloak stood in the trees and looked upon the priests and priesteses with a smile. He tapped his fingure on his staff and then sat down on the branch he was on. He took out an apple and polished it on his cloak.

(I'm not entirley clear about this world, but can I join?)

ooc: yes anyone can join at any time

The "old man" watches from the forest as "Kirk" from the day before runs into the temple and an odd person in a tree eats an apple. "Hmm, this is getting more interesting." Softly, he begins chanting, so softly that none can hear. When his incantation is complete, he is no longer there. In fact, he is in a tree behind the observer eating an apple. "Excuse me sir, but what, exactly, are you doing? And I don't want a 'I'm sitting in a tree eating an apple' either."

OOC (to Xellos): Sure, come on in.

Kairith finally turns to see who has followed, and waits impatiently for any laggers.

The man turned areound and smiled at the old man "Well HELLO there!" he said happily "don't mind me, I simply a humble passerby who got a little hungry...." he said.

"Don't try that on me! You were spying, who is of such importance down there that you need to spy on from up here?"

.

OOC: How are you seeing us in a tree outside the temple which the portal is housed in from the other side of the portal?

Kairith sighs impatiently. "The man who was most concerned with proof of this treasure is not yet here. What is wrong with him?"

ooc: I was watching everyone as they went throught the portal.

"Spying?!" said the man taken aback. He jumped from the tree and landed on his feet afew feet away from the old man. He looked at the old man with a smile "Heavens no! I was just observing........" The man then looked over to the portal "Looks like it will close soon......" he mutered.
