Message: <blockquote data-quote="veldan" data-source="post: 5130479" data-attributes="member: 88104">During the day Lela tries to lighten the mood by telling some stories about other groups that have been in this same situation.Like the story of Garn of Nibenay and the Salt Plain raiders.  Garn was on a silt skimmer from Alataruk to Last Port that ran afoul of a giant wading through the silt.  The boat crashed on the Ivory Plain north of Ledopolus and he was the lone survivor.  With no provisions and having no experience in the salt flats he survived and joined a rag tag slave tribe that had been kicked out of every place they set themselves to live.  Over the next 10 years he rose to lead the tribe and they became raiders and caused quite a problem for House Inika.  During the night, Lela will hang around Ardon, if he allows it, to pick up some bits of desert survival and also help with whatever he may need.  After her failure to lie her way to keep all the water, she's trying to prove her worth through her willingness to help.Of course she has her moments while trying to help out.  Like when she decides to pick up and throw a rock out of boredom, it turns out the "rock" was a Desert Screamer Beetle, it's harmless enough, but it let out a loud shriek that left everyone deafened for a few minutes./ooc:  I hope you don't mind that I just make up a few mostly harmless flavor bits.When the thicket is pointed out Lela suggests that the group get a closer look (but not too close) because if there's brush, there might be water, or more food. </blockquote>
