Day 93: Communicating with the Spiofthest
Trying the languages known to the party, Sannit is unable to find a common tongue by which to converse. His counterpart is intelligent enough to demonstrate some understanding as well as convey back his own information. Unfortunately, not only has he no knowledge of of metal, he would also like to acquire some, apparently in trade for his superior leather work.
As to the Maldrog, he nods when he understands but shrugs in uncertainty. He gestures toward the southeast, behind him, waving about to suggest that they should live over that way, somewhere. He seems to be indicating that his own crew came from over the mountains farther due East.
During the process of this discourse, the man calls others of his clan from cover and they begin to fill water containers. There are 3 men, 4 women, and 2 children. Additionally, there is 1 red wolf, 2 burros, and a leopard. All the Faethrins wave a greeting some speaking it as well. In the nature of the Southroad Seekers, everyone waves in return speaking greetings in the various known languages, not expecting anything of it.
As the greeting in Centrin is spoken, it is returned from cover of the trees. Clearing the cover, is an injured Aedaman, moving slowly and favoring his left hip.
He is definitely Centrin by his appearance. He explains that the Spiofthest found him and helped him, but that the rest of his hunting party was lost in a battle with Da'Roneh. He explains that he is a guard with the Tin Caravan out of Boga City and went out with a hunting party 5 days past. His party and the Da'Roneh were about evenly matched and he gave chase to a fleeing foe. It was a trick. He took and arrow in the hip and fell into a small ravine. Without him, the rest of the party was killed and looted. Had he not fallen into that ravine he likely would have been as well. Unlike the Da'Roneh, the Spiofthest had means to scale the ravine and retrieve him. They helped him and exacted no charge, even though he cannot communicate with them.
Sheldon relays the information in Asylin to make sure everyone fully understands.
