Once you pass through the gate you can see the village is comprised of more tents similar to the ones you saw in Ploop's camp.  You see no permanent buildings.  The place reeks of rotting fish and other fouls smells.  You long for even a gentle breeze to deliver cleaner air.  Everywhere is refuse of various sorts.  Kuo-toa of various sizes and hues are milling around going about their day.  They all seem to wander aimlessly in small groups, like schools of fish.   Some stop to look at the parade.  Some move away as if afraid.  Some look a bit hostile.In the distance, about in the middle of the village you see what appears to be a 9' tall statue looming over the cluster of tents.  You seem to be making for it.[ooc]Does anyone do anything at this point?[/ooc]</blockquote>
