Message: <blockquote data-quote="MacConnell" data-source="post: 8615074" data-attributes="member: 6855223">Wrenn and Volki reiterate at a more convenient time anything not remembered about the nature of their indigenous kind. Shimadows are known to be sociopathic and hostile but not exactly psychotic. Were the party not confused as being another group of Shimadow with one stranger, this other group would likely have attempted an ambush instead of a parlay. Shimadow do not readily attack their own kind.Though Astrid is Norikadian, they only see her as a tall Shimadow, very tall for being female. Her communication is passable enough if she keeps her questions simple. The others visibly demonstrate that they do not want to talk to Askari, even though he is fluent in the language. Tenuous conversation still affords the exchange of some vital information.The twana (stick people) are made by the Amiradthae, the gray skinned Faethrins. The Shimadow consider such superstitions to be stupid, but they apparently affect other local tribes of "lesser" peoples. Like this keep, there are two more, farther East, in just as poor of shape that are decorated with the twana.The other group finds it strange that the party was assaulted by other Shimadow, unless they had been paid in some manner to dissuade all comers, even then, they naturally would have given warning first. It is suggested that the Amiradthae may have some mystical power. They have never spoken with the gray people but they have fought a group before, losing one of their members in the conflict. They make a comment congratulating Wrenn on making use of one of their bows. They hate the bows, as Oorvid and Askari can well-attest to their effectiveness.If no hostilities are initiated by the party, the other groups leaves peaceably, heading back to the East. On a good note, during the remainder of the time at the current location, none of the Amiradthae ever show.[spoiler=Character Data]Askari: full wellnessShirt: 33 - 3 = 30 - 3 = 27Astrid: full wellnessMantle: 24Stones: 20Oorvid: full wellnessTunic: 61 - 6 = 55Volki: full wellnessTunic: 45Wrenn: full wellnessTunic: 57Ularin Arrows: 22[/spoiler][spoiler=Collections]41 marks: currency(helps Astrid)whitish ingot: 2, ??(helps all characters)Bat Guano: 6 measures, {heat x2}Bandy Feet: pair, (Confluence +2)Beaver Incisors: pair, ??black claw necklace: 1, ??Hawk Feet: pair, ??Jay Feet: pair, (Will +2)Spider Claws: 5 sets, {toxicity x2}Spider Fangs: 5 sets, (Cohesion +2)(helps Volki or Wrenn)Bandy Feathers: 1, (Strength +2)Goat Beard: 1, (Will +2)Heckling Jay Feathers: 1, (Will +2)Viper Blood: 1 measure, {athleticism x3}Viper Venom: 1, {toxicity x3}(helps Askari or Oorvid)Beaver Skull: 1, ??Bandy Skull: 2, (Confluence +2)Hawk Skull: 1, ??Jay Skull: 1, ??Teal Skull: 2, (Cohesion +2)Viper Skull: 2, (Motility +2)waterfowl skull: 2, ??(helps all characters)Coal: 7 bricks, {heat x3}Slate: 1, {sound x2}Lodestone: 2, {shock x3}Livestone: 5, (Strength +2)(helps Volki or Wrenn)Mend Leaves: 3 measures, {Mend x2}Rend Leaves: 2 measures, {Siphon x2}Flowers: 4 measures, {Restore x3}Tranquility Flowers: 1 measure, {Identity x3}[/spoiler][spoiler=Discoveries]Bat Colony: 2Chain of Keeps Tunnel Systemname: Temnyy VeterRheini Village[/spoiler][ooc]Everyone receives 5 DP.
