[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8775466, member: 7030144"] Session 45 (Sept. 18, 2022) 28 Tar-Vaen (evening) Noah suggests that Iados could fly over to the other beach and talk to them. Ravokris endorses this idea, and Iados unfurls his wings and begins to fly over. As he flies over, he sees a small group of humanoid snakes or serpents poling a barge along. The barge is under water. They have arms, they look almost human, but he can see their scales and their eyes seem to glisten. They are clearly angling toward the beach from which Iados came. At first he thought they were wading, but then he realized they were poling a partially submerged platform. It is clearly a bundled net, laid over top of what looks like a large woven basket that would hold, perhaps, 200 pounds of things and is empty. It appears to be woven of toughened fibers, perhaps from some underdark plant. They appear to be merchants of some sort. He returns to the group and reports this. Shortly later, they come in sight. A leader calls out, “Friend or foe?” in passable surface common. Noah calls out “Friend!” and they come over to the beach. Ravokris is sure that they are yuan-ti, but they don’t seem to be dangerous like most yuan-ti. The big one looks carefully at all of them. He then points in the direction Iados was headed, and says “Danger.” “What danger?” says Ravokris. “Ancient eaters. Eat,” and he taps his chest and passes his head over his head a couple of times. “Come first father’s time. Now, more. Much, much more.” Meanwhile, his yuan-ti are dragging out fish, and dumping them in a basket. “Much time, empty.” “Do you know of the bad light to the south?” “Yes. New. Kill.” He looks confused. “You pass light?” “Our god is powerful and protected us. His Daughter, the Weeping Woman, weeps for all, even such as you.” The yuan-ti leader seems confused by the second sentence, but nods respectfully. Noah tries to pay him to make a map, but he doesn’t know how to use parchment, quill, and ink, and it’s unclear whether he understands the idea of money. After a little more stilted conversation, they realize that the yuan-ti are subsistence fishers, not merchants. Noah then starts drawing a map in the sand, and the leader realizes what Noah means. He points out a few features the group doesn’t know about--another tunnel that goes east, somewhat north of where they are, and their village—north of the “Eaters” at the other beach. They also show the body of water extending indefinitely to the north. After some discussion, they say that there is also a secret tunnel past the Eaters, and offer to bring the group across on their barge. The group agrees to spend the night at their village, and then proceed onwards via the secret tunnel. As they talk, they seem terrified of, and extremely respectful, to Ravokris and Elyn—apparently they recognize and defer to elves. Noah suspects that they had Drowan protectors and lords, before the “Eaters” came and killed their lords. The yuan-ti begin ferrying the group across, while Elyn and Noah do spear-fishing and Ravokris uses shocking grasp to electrocute batches of fish. Noah and Elyn each get about 10 fish, while Ravokris cooks about 44 fish. [cont'd] [/QUOTE]
