The two friends pay over 20 coins and agree to a coin each per day in the future. Luterrio seems forthright in his dealings and does not give an impression that he will soon attempt to renegotiate. Perhaps he has some awareness of the potential of the two. For his part, the leader of the River Otter Guild hands over a throng strung two otter skulls, each marked with the same symbol that is branded into each of the member’s forearms. There is a house near on the upriver end of the Stilt Village marked with the same skulls. Someone should always be there to acknowledge all transactions. In the long run, compared to the talents of the two young men, the coins are a trivial matter.Luterrio also provides some additional information that was previously unknown. The Wharf Rats, who are all Ansylins, control the area around the Stilt Village and the cultivated crops, which accounts for their name since the area has a prolific rat population. The River Otters, who are all Centrins, control the area upstream from the Stilt Village. The Marsh Vipers, who have both Ansylin and Centrin members, control the area downstream of the Stilt Village. Jalakaag and Whiron have collected in all of these areas, but as their skill has improved, tend to avoid the nearest locations.The next Tenday is spent in the territory of the River Otters, although farther out than any of them would naturally travel. Having no risk of interfering with cultivated crops, more than enough tubers are gathered to supplement meals. Whiron also discovers several patches of herbs with aromatic flowers, called Tranquility. One measure, when ingested by any means, will accelerate the normal rate of restoration for the loss of Mind or its developmental components by double and augment the impetus for physical function and intellectual cognizance (Cohesion +10) for one hour.As usual, the snares and fish trap provide more than enough return, allowing for greater time to be spent hunting or using the nets. Several larger fish and a few smaller peccaries are captured, but of a particular curiosity is when the two come upon what appears to be a manufactured altar.[spoiler=Character Data]Jalakaag: full wellnessWhiron: full wellness [/spoiler][spoiler=Inventory]coins: 26: cast net, hoop net, fish trapcaustic leaf: 1 measure, {ionize x3}fireweed: 8 measures, {heat x2}, 1 per satchelinvigorate: 8 measures, {adrenaline x3}, 5 per measuremend: 10 measures, {restore x3}, 5 per measuremuddle: 9 measures, {taint x2}, 1 per measurestimulate: 1 measures, {adrenaline x2}, 2 per measuretranquility: 10 measures, 5 per measurefist-sized snail shells: 10, 1 coin each [/spoiler][spoiler=Discoveries]Luterrio: River Otter Guild LeaderUnknown Elderly Ansylin ManWharf Rat Gangers [/spoiler][gm]Jalakaag improved in constitutional wellness (Fitness).
