Latin is used for Centrin. Icelandic is used for Norikadian. Dutch is used for Orngaddrin, and Irish is used for Spiofthest.[/gm]Oorvid nods his head twice and mouths the same words that Askari says to him, deliberately attempting to improve his use of the language. He whispers back, "Orngaddrin is heel anders," then in Shimadow, "Orngaddrin is much different."[spoiler=Hide]Stealth: Mind + Knowledge + Learning + Tactile + MotilityShade: Essence + Adhesion + Mysticism + PsionicsCamouflage: Essence + Cohesion + Mysticism + HermeticsAstrid: 25(stealth) + 24(shade) + 50(d100) = 99Hiroshi: 24 + 26 + 50 = 101Volki: 25 + 23(camo) + 56 = 104Wrenn: 27 + 27 + 40 = 94[/spoiler][spoiler=Active Search]Observation: Mind + Knowledge + Learning + MercantileClarity: Essence + Cohesion + Mysticism + any but AberrativeAskari: 22(observation) + 22(clarity) + 73(d100) = 117Oorvid: 21 + 23 + 54 = 98[/spoiler]Poking around the fire, Askari digs up some embers. This campfire has been regularly used but not for quite some hours. Unnoticed before, there is considerable evidence that this site is being regularly used and that its occupants departed at leisure. Regular bedding areas can be noted from impression and discarded items of clothing and such are strewn without decorum. Whoever occupies this camp seems lazy.Astrid moves to the right flank, close to Hiroshi. Wrenn moves to the far side of the fire, and Volki finds suitable concealment near the pergola. As Astrid and Hiroshi move, their visual imagery seems to darken, making them harder to see. As Voli and Wrenn move, their skin seems to blend with the environment.Within the hour, careless voices indicate the approach of several people coming from the north. Chance favors the prepared in that no one chose that side for hiding. The language is recognized as none other than Shimadow, when nearer. When the lead of the wandering party is just in sight, they hold up hands in universal gesture of halt, indicating that there are others behind the lead two. They halt at the sight of the two bulky youths poking around their fire.The young heroes can hear others of the Shimadow move through the trees as the two in the lead move toward Askari and Oorvid, gesturing violently and talking aggressively. It is too fast for Oorvid but Askari can understand they are saying things like: "What are you doing here? Get away from there! We are going to kill you!"The Shimadow are young adults, not adolescents. They show some signs of battle exposure. It is not possible to determine an exact number but four in total are moving toward the campfire, while others can be heard moving East and West. The four have not yet readied javelins. They are still waving a universal gesture for go away.[ooc]Logistics: The approaching 4 are about 10 strides from Askari and Oorvid, making them about 25 strides from Astrid and Hiroshi, 15 strides from Volki and Wrenn, though from differing angles. Askari and Oorvid are in between Astrid, Hiroshi, and the approach.[/ooc][gm]Reminder: Though it may at times seem a disadvantage, the attitude of the party has previously been agreed to refrain from ambush until first attacked. Maintaining this attitude is important to the plot and earns better reward.[/gm][spoiler=Character Data]Askari: full wellnessAstrid: full wellnessStones: 20Hiroshi: full wellnessJavelins: 4Oorvid: full wellnessVolki: full wellnessWrenn: full wellnessArrows: 15[/spoiler][spoiler=Collections]41 marks: currencyAluminum: 1 brick, ??Ant Stingers: 4, {toxicity x2}Bat Guano: 4 measures, ??Bird Skulls: 5, ??Rodent Tooth Necklace: 3, (Health +1)Songbird Talisman: 1, ??Spider Claws: 3 sets, ??Spider Fangs: 3 sets, ??Coal: 4 bricks, ??Bloodstone: 1, (Health +1)curious stones: 2, ??Dark Green Stone: 1 brick, ??Dull, Gray Stone: 1, ??Flowers: 2 measures, ??[/spoiler][ooc]Everyone receives 5 DP.
