I'd like to thank merlinus for the whole concept of this .


BEFORE THE BATTLE AT THE CRACK DEN:Xenophon gets some Baktrian plant.

"psst....Xenophon..over here." A brown man said to Xenophon beckoning him with his giant two handed axe sword thingie .

"Ambros said I could find you over here, my name's Pashtarana, I got a present for ya from ole Ambros...this shit'll blow your mind man." Pashtarana said .

"Before ya go gettin all suspicious like, yeah I'm a foreigner, I'm from Taksashaila, left home 'cause the Horsef*ckers from up north are comin' out of the mountains again. I'm lookin for a few people who are into...ahh, quality herbal supplements, like the Scythian. well anyway this stuff is what the Native Baktrians do with Scyth grass, I hear they send naked people through the fields to get the resin all over them and then they turn it into this stuff somehow, don't know, got it from this Parni kid on my way over here. my cousin decided to stay in Parniland and study at one of their weird fire temples, so he's got the hook-up for me if you guys like it. oh , and Ambros knows your messin with his Sister...he says just don't let his dad catch you...he tried this stuff in the...how you say Healer's tent but not a tent???anyways , he sent you some, and he also told me to ask you if you could put in a word with the boss so I could get a gig as a "forward observer/scout" with your army. (this stuff is only around in limited quantities...and I do need to eat and stuff) dude thanks for your time and do try this (I call it Bhang Haoma, can't pronounce the Baktrian word for it)."

"uhh...thanks mate . I'm not entirely too freaked out by foreigners . I mean I am friends with a Nubian who speaks in clicks ."

"Really?" The man from India said.

"Yeah he introduced me to some Scythican herb that was grown down there. Apparently the harsh climate makes it pretty strong . Here , I have some . It makes up for you having to give me your high quality Baktrian product." Xenophon said giving the brown man a leather pouch of the Nubian product.

"Thanks ..." Pashtarana said .

The Indian walked off and Xenophon lighted some up and proceeded to roll around on the ground from the absolutely messed up trip . Xenophon saw something no man in any period wanted to deal with ....butt pirates.
