He says mostly to himself but loud enough to be heard, “Yes, it is time.” For whatever reason the group was waiting remains unknown.As the day progresses into afternoon and beyond, the breeze from the mountains dies down, and the dust begins to settle, allowing for much greater visibility. This peculiar community is far more populated than expected, but the locals can as easily be identified from the outsiders as Kol had said, even though everyone is masked. The Pelimonra do not toil, they seem to all be monitoring the activity and movement of others. Their bright blue head coverings are quite distinct. They are also all armed with exceptional, dark, wood bows that appear to be a combination of a stranded bow and a recurve bow. They all keep an arrow at ready, though they are friendly and acknowledge anyone who nears them. Other people acknowledge the Investigators by nod or gesture. No one attempts to accost the party.There are several, extremely large tents erected near the lake, with smaller tents dispersed about the area. The smaller tents are individual or familial residences. The large tents must be for commercial enterprises. They are large enough to count 5 minutes to walk along one side. Two of the tents show more activity than the other two. One is discovered to be the tavern, the other is discovered to be a trade market. The quieter tents have guards posted at the entrance. These guards are not observed to prevent entry, but they do question all comers. The purpose of those two tents is not yet known.There are workers wading through the flooded area where cotton will be grown. They are breaking the exposed ends of last Cycle’s spent cotton plants to encourage the budding of new growth that should soon be coming. These workers are not Pelimonra, and they are watched, but they do not appear to be slaves. Their work is too leisure for forced labor. On the north side of the community, carved back into the rock itself to provide constant shade, are three different indentations whose outside is covered with cloth to prevent anything inside from being seen. There are no Pelimonra archers outside of these structures; instead, the guards here are clothed in vibrant red, flowing robes with matching hoods and masks. The robes are only bound by a belt about the waist from which hangs a pair of curved swords.[spoiler=Character Data]Taylar: full wellnesstunic: 60 - 3 - 3 = 54Astarte: full wellnessvest: 29Plumeir: full wellnesstunic: 48[/spoiler][spoiler=Collections]none [/spoiler][ooc]Each character receives 5 DP.
