Hoppy is away inspecting the blackscale camp when your empathic connection grows tense: Hoppy is afraid and anxious as if nervous.At about the same time, most of you (OOC DC 10 spot at your distance) see a Blackscale leave the camp. He moves to the road leading up to the temple, at a spot equidistant between the two camps. He stops and begins talking to someone nearby, presumably hidden.  Although you can feel his rumbling voice in your chest, he is much too far away for you to make out what he is saying. Then you notice a poison dusk stand from the grass in front of him and they have a heated argument. The poison dusk makes a motion in your direction and continues to argue. The blackscale seems to laugh but then becomes angry by something said by the poison dusk. The blackscale gives a rude gesture and puts a hand on the butt of this greatclub leaning against his hip. The poisondusk seems to give one last protest and then melds back into the grass. The blackscale stalks back to his camp, irritation plain on his face. Hoppy soon returns. He conveys to fenwick most of the above but also relates that there are three blackscales in the western camp. Two were outside sunning themselves on rocks and he didn't see the other until after the above exchange is concluded at which point they began conversing. The third had apparently been inside one of the huts. As he was departing he noticed that the blackscales who were previously un-armored, are now beginning to don poor-quality hide armor and collect their weapons. Although they didn't look like they were particularly rushed, it did look like they were making preparations for war and that it would take five or ten minutes at their current rate before they are "ready."He also notes that there is a large cage at the southwest side of the blackscale clearing. A creature that smells strongly of poop and blood resides inside. He was too terrified to get close enough to look through the closely spaced bamboo bars to find out what the creature was. It seemed constrained by the cage, at least for the moment. He caught a glimpse of a pile of chains near the front of the barred cage, but could not surmise their purpose.</blockquote>
