HAWAII REST PERIOD

(Darr's viewpoint -- 04/14/91 - 04/27/91)


On Sunday (04/14/1991) Thomas Black contacted Darr (whom he'd only met once) and asked for Darr's help. Darr agreed and began to assist the eight-inch-tall Black. He even built a harness which he could wear on his left shoulder for Black to ride. Other than that, the week passed uneventfully for Darr until Thursday, when he got a brief visit from Kristi before she took off for some time with Pard.

Saturday (04/20) Enigma contacted Xumbala and gave him a mission to recruit for. Since he was a centaur, he did not live in the hotel, and therefore did not have many contacts. In order to help overcome this, Enigma invited every agent to a luau on Monday (04/22). The message went to everyone no matter where they were.

The mission involved a trip to a land where they were to prevent the return of an ancient evil. They could divert or kill the evil. Enigma also told Xumbala to talk to Thurladeem and Hyllar because they might be familiar with the place they were going. Once Enigma left, Xumbala set out to find Hyllar. Xumbala found him on the mountain and informed him and invited him on the mission. Hyllar agreed, and together they went off to find Thurladeeam. Hyllar shifted to cat form. They found Thurladeem's grove without much trouble and recruited him without much difficulty.

Darr decided to attend the luau, but only after his full training regimen. He picked up Black and got to the party at 5 p.m. Some mages had gotten together and discussed how they could help Thomas Black heal his leg quicker. Finally after a discussion with him and Darr, Ariel, Father Leslie, Hyllar, and Thurladeem took Black away from the party so they could concentrate. Ariel was able to heal the leg, but it still would be stiff for a month. Thurladeem offered to allow her to use the power stone he had, but Father Leslie would not permit it because Thurladeem had told him the stone's quirk and the Father would not allow it because he did not approve.

The centaur Xumbala had arrived at noon and was hitting the beer. He didn't approach the group earlier because he didn't want to disturb those he called 'Wise Ones'. However, he did come over to talk to Darr. They got to talking, and Darr agreed to the mission also. Cates came up during the discussion and was also recruited for the mission team. Once Ariel got back to the party, Darr introduced her to Xumbala. She also agreed to go on the mission, as did Thomas Black. Darr and Black left the party at midnight. Xumbala, since he was still around when the party ended, got to take two kegs of beer home.

Tuesday morning Black woke up at his correct size with his magic restored. Darr did some shopping, continued his training, and allowed Brodie to store some stuff in the Black Hole. Wednesday night the special craft returned and Darr examined it.

The rest of the week passed with no problems occurring. So on Saturday (04/27) morning everyone headed to the beach where the luau had been held. Since they'd been told the area was generally low-tech, Darr equipped himself as follows: Regular clothes and hiking boots with a blue denim jacket over his Kevlar vest. He also wore a holster belt containing his 9mm, extra clip, and his combat knife in its sheath. He was also carrying three throwing knives. Crossed on his back, he had his M-16 and his saber. Extra clips for his M-16 were in his vest pockets.

The group was composed of: Xumbala, Hyllar, Thurladeem, Anthony Darr, Brodie Cates, Ariel, and Thomas Black.
