It is readily evident that the Da'Roneh have constructed a completely arboreal village with a network of passageways connecting the large trees. The development continues on farther than it is clear to see.Gesture being universal and not dependent upon language. Bolo gives a "come here" signal to the two stupefied Da'Roneh still standing at their sentry posts. Both use the system of vines and rope to climb down and stand in front of Sannit and Saemund. Both are adults. One is male and one is female. Both are wearing skirts, shin guards, and bracers made of jute fabric. The femal is also wearing a light fabric shirt and a snakeskin belt. Both are adorned with various trinkets, mostly bird feet.[/gm]Sheldon gives a sharp intake of breath and runs his left hand through his hair, pulling it back from his face."Bird feet. Do you remember? Saemund and Vadin were not with us yet. Galen and Siofra were. On the road into Southroad Fair, we had only just departed the caravan, we were attacked on the road by a group of Da'Roneh youths about our own age. Later at Southroad Fair, we were told they were the Birdfoot Clan. These people are already raiding the road to the east. There must be path from here over the cliff."Indigo, who is a bit behind him, adds."I remember. You took a spear to the gut... Look at that construction. I would say a fair number of people live here. We should not just walk in, and we likely cannot stand here long. We may very well get overrun if we go straight at them."[gm]As she finishes speaking, before anyone else can respond, some quick hostile words are heard in Da'Roneh followed by a very loud boom that Merin readily recognizes as a sonic blast. It is immediately followed with a scream and the young sentry who had been compelled to leave his post is seen falling to his death from further into the village.[/gm][ooc]GM NOTE:Merin suspects that the Da'roneh are masters of mechanical Way.[/ooc][sblock=Character Data]Saemund: full healthDa'Roneh Novice: dyingSannit: full healthBolo: full healthDa'Roneh Headhunter: dazed (Persona = -32)(11.9 hours), weakened (Strength = 1)Merin: full healthSheldon: full healthDa'Roneh Novice: stupefied (Persona = -24)(duration 7 hours)[/sblock]</blockquote>
