Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shayuri" data-source="post: 5632947" data-attributes="member: 4936">Hmm...maybe.My sense is that Taka left her family fairly young to join the monks. Their role as protectors is paralleled by a role to keep the tribe histories in a series of carvings within a set of labyrinthine caves called the Memory Caves. Basically, you have two sects of monks...one group that protects the bodies of the tribe, and the other group that protects the histories and 'identity' of the tribe.If Taka's sister was taken in a raid...most likely when she was out seeking food, since the valley itself is a hard nut to crack...that could explain what got Taka up out of the tribal ground and out into the world where she adventured around and eventually became the high level critter she is now.It may also be that she chose not to return to the tribal lands with Kayura, because Kay had adopted ways so similar to raiders that she didn't want that shame known by their parents and friends. Basically, until Kay can be rehabilitated fully, their home is elsewhere.The glaring flaw in this is: Why is Kayura cooperating? Taka and she are essentially even in power level. Taka probably has a small advantage in terms of her manuevers, but Kay hits harder. It's unlikely that Taka could stop Kay from leaving if Kay really wanted to, over a long period of time. And she certainly couldn't force Kay to 'learn.'Note that the idea overall is good...I just want to make sure the questions get answered. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Also, Mr GM, a hook to get us into the current adventure is good...but it doesn't have to pry us out of the desert necessarily. Looks like the goils can have been traveling.Which reminds me, I need to shuffle some skill ranks into Survival...</blockquote>
