S3E01: A Certain Respect for Authority

Season 3 of Crudely Drawn Swords begins - if you haven't listened before, we hope that this will provide an excellent jumping-on point. If you have, then buckle in- The Hawks are back and they have a whole new set of problems to contend with... --------------------------------- Bambari, this is interesting - from a source related to Enigma's network, an agent with the codename of "Mist" the account of a prospector who had travelled extensively through the southern forest. "First time I passed by Sankastra Palov must be ten years gone, I had an idea about maybe mining some copper down in the southern barrier range there [...] well anyhows I struck this little settlement down near the glacier and it weren't like any place you ever saw - they had igloos and tents and a few shacks- weren't hardly none of them looked like it would hold up if a gust of wind went by but there they were and there was folks crowding in there. A lot of them was a little bit loose-minded if you take what I mean, they weren't bad people but they didn't seem well fitted to conversation or they would talk to you endlessly but not much of it would make any sense. Well I was passing through but I stopped by there and made a few Schmeckels ( I was headed east of the mountains ) by selling them game I had hunted. Seemed to me there weren't anybody bringing much trade that way and they weren't all the most practical folks. In fact seemed to me the main thing they had in common was that they all said that they had been called there by some voice in their dreams. All considered the place was surprisingly orderly for all that they was mostly folks with trouble in their minds. Well I helped out there a little time but one night while I was sleeping I heard a voice in my dreams too, it felt real far off and I couldn't make out any words, but sure I could tell it was a voice that wanted me to stay there at the edge of that ice. Well I packed out the next morning and I didn't come back in a good long time I can tell you." [ continues ... ]
