The Romance of the River Kingdoms

[Dr Simon]

The girl crawls closer to her companion, moving right up to her when Three Flowers steps away. She hisses at Growling Ape, then, emitting whimpering noises, begins licking the wounds of the white girl, and gently stroking her hair.

Now that you can see these two clearly, they are quite similar despite the strange mutations of the white girl. They seem to be pubescent girls, naked except for their long, matted hair and a thick layer of dirt. Facially they look very similar - sisters, perhaps. The one seems otherwise like a normal Anhoine girl, the other has been warped by some strange magic - you all know that there are spirits that can do such a thing to a person, but specifically what in this case, you aren't sure. It looks like they have grown up in the wild. Raised by giant spiders?

A gentle drizzle begins to fall from the sky. Here, beneath the bamboo canopy and the webs, you are quite dry.

You can see no sign of the spider shaman.

[sblock=Shakou]
Shakou feels weak and shivery, but the poison does not seem to be getting worse.

Mystal proceeds his hiding/climbing and takes a peek inside the cave

"We need some way to communicate with them," Annika says. "I've used up all my magic...I really don't want to fight anymore if we can avoid it."

 

[Theroc]

Shakou attempts to shake some of the blood from the mauled spider and her own blood from her fur so it doesn't dry matted, but she does comment.

"The violent one has a nasty strike. I feel weaker than usual..."

[Neurotic]

Mystal pauses, recovering his expended maneuvers, ready for more trouble.

 

[Shayuri]

Annika frowns at Ape as whatever he was trying to imply flew right over her head.

"They don't have to like us...but they're the ones stealing geese, so they're the ones we have to deal with. We could talk with the wolves and work something out. But if we can't talk to these girls...I don't know what to do. We can't just kill them."

 

[Theroc]

"They don't have to like us...but they're the ones stealing geese, so they're the ones we have to deal with. We could talk with the wolves and work something out. But if we can't talk to these girls...I don't know what to do. We can't just kill them."

"Who says? That one attacked me without provocation from me and I'm still feeling the effects. What happens when people assault others in towns after stealing geese numerous times? If we cannot communicate with them, and they will not stop what they are doing, I see little choice, since that is likely what will be done by others in any case..."

OOC: Wild Empathy does seem to work with the girl, I just rolled really badly before. So Ape might be able to "tame" her, but it only conveys very simple messages.
