-             You are a member of the Priests of Huitzilopochtli           -
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  You are a Priest of Huitzilopochtli.

  Huitzilopochtli favours you a bit more than average.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  You are standing on damned ground.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// A bit short on favour :(

You fold up you sleeve and start a low chant. You close your fist and
see the blood pulse in your veins. With a swift cut of your dagger you
open a long gash in your wrist. Little droplets meld into a trickle that
seems to caress the skin as it yields to the pull of gravity.

You straighten your forelegs and push yourself up.
> You chant a prayer to Huitzilopochtli.

> You wield the spear in your right hand.
You wield the spear in your left hand.

You touch the shield and make it stay longer.

You chant a prayer to Huitzilopochtli.

> You pray to Huitzilopochtli and he sends you one of his servants.
A snake-headed eagle appears from the void.

> Snake-eagle# Your leader is now the robed and hooded centaur.
The snake-headed male snake-eagle is member of your team now.
> You chant a prayer to Huitzilopochtli.

You surround the snake-headed male snake-eagle with a magic shield and the protection raises.

You hum a mystic melody to your deity.

> You are physically somewhat hurt and mentally indisposed.
You are extremely alert.

// Hmmm ..... and nearly run out of mana ..... *shrug* .... no risk no fun.

> With a gesture you create a lightningstorm around 0.

> Suddenly the air is ripped appart by a blood red slash.
You establish a portal.

You go back.

You are inside the void between the planes of existance. Huitzilopochtli
allows his priests short trips through the void to bring offerings to
the sacred places.
A disc hovers in.

// Portal and a short running around.

It's Night.
The jungle opens here to a little village to the north. Small huts made from
earth with roofs of grass stand in a circle around a little sandy place. You see
things lying around and some small children playing merrily in the dirt. Looks
very peaceful to you.
There are two obvious exits: north, south.
A disc.
