Editing A Maharani Calls (section)

===Trees!===

Scout goes in, everyone else stays out.  The priestess asks if Scout has need of the Tree; he responds that he would like to bring his companions to see the Tree.  She does a miracle and frowns– you are connected to the Oasis.  Er, yes, we are on a battlemap with the Oasis, and are under influence from one of its Miracles.  The Priestess does not think that is a good idea to let me in to talk to the Tree.  Hmm.  Scout explains a bit, and then the Priestess comes and takes a look at all of us.  Scout tries to introduce her, and says he didn’t get her name.  She says no– he did not give his name.  “Scout!” “That is not your name.”  Well, no, okay.  She does a shaman miracle, which no one resists, and goes back inside.  Managaratha wonders– is the Tree the Tree that the Arba-sol was working with?  No, he’s pretty clear that the Tree is now what the Valley was, in Comets gone.  Also, Scout is clearly from the last Comet– with the Lord and the Lady and the Buccaneer, back when people had Jobs, not Names.  Oh.  Er.  Huh.  That surprises Scout, but also seems to make sense…  He’s pretty sure he came back from hearing his Song as Scout.
