It shall be my duty to present to you the rest."She taps twice on her drum, and introduces the others, pointing to them in turn."This personage is Aerys, she is known to follow the sea." *tap* "She also has a taste for music.""Next is Alkas, who has also been a sailor." *tap* "He now carries a big hammer.""Sasha with the red hair is a student." *tap* "She is also fond of hunting.""Jade was a prisoner" *tap* "Held in manacles against his will.""Gelik has learned not to trust shifty merchants." *tap* "He is fond of grumbling.""Ishirou is, like many of us, from the Kingdom of Jade." *tap* "He practices the virtue of silence.""and I am Hú Lí!" *tap* "Traveler!" *tap* "Musician!" *tap* "Entertainer!""We have come to this place by a strange adventure, which I will now tell."She beats her drum quietly and rhytmically as she chants, swaying back and forth as she describes the ocean, dodging back and forth as she describes the battles, and looking solemn as she describes the deaths."From Daunton we set forth, sailing on a shipA fine ship, plying the seas on a journey of but a day.But the treachery of the Shifting Sea took the ship, took usAnd left us here on this island of ill-omened legend.We awoke on the island, lying on the sand,Lying there, our belongings stacked beside us,Lying there as though placed by some unknown hand.There were creatures from the sea, creatures with grasping pincers.We fought them off, then gathered our thingsAlong the shore, there was the wreck of the ship we sailed onLying there upon the rocks, the waves lapping around it.Those who are strong among us, they braved the rocks,Braved the rocks and climbed out to the ship.They found the crew dead, their bodies strewn on deck.Climbing back to shore, they brought what goods they could,But still we had no water, save that of the sea.So to find water, we came inland, searching for a source.Then came the spiders, and now we have reached this place."And now we are met here," she concludes.  "Pray, tell us how you came to this place."</blockquote>
