Ashen Hooves

Ashen Hooves camp

When the sun sets over the impressive mountains of Fang the five of you make their way into the centre of tribe's camp. You are welcomed and accompanied by the their leader whose name is Da'arr. You are led to the middle of the camp where fire burns and a small roasted deer is being turned over some hot coals.
You notice the curious eyes of the tribe on you but also their suspicious gazes.

Alexis - You spend time close to the leader of the tribe trying communicate with him. He seems keen to try and speak your language and shares a fermented drink made from horses milk with you. It is clear they think of you as the leader of your own party. At some point in the evening a large muscular man with short hair stand in front of you two speaking to Da'aar. The old man smiles looking at you.
"Him give you 5 horses, 5 deer. Become mate." he says clasping his hands together in a obvious meaning.

Blackwolf - You spend the evening talking to some of the men of the tribe teaching them some words of your language and learning more of theirs. Later in the evening you play your archlute to the wonder of all that listen, being used to percussions instruments only.

Gonyaul - Some children look at you in wonderment from behind their parents legs. A young woman offers you a balm to put on your back when they see the state of your back and the blood stained shirt. Another man nearby shows you his own scar. Where a Luger pawed him across the chest. He was not as lucky as you, as you cast eyes unto his mangles torso.

Islana - You sit close to Alexis for the most part until you notice the eyes of an older woman on you. She's the oldest of all in the tribe as far as you can tell and she beckons for you to sit next to her from across the fire. Gingerly you get up and sit next to the old woman who points to your pendant. The silver bird. She points to her own necklace made from Luger's teeth as if trying to tell you something.

Nicolaus - The trip has taken a toll on you and you feel the days of dirt accumulate on your skin. You cant wait to have a long hot bath and scrub the layers of grime from your flesh. But opportunities like this are exactly why you joined the band of friends. To trade and learn more of the secrets of Arcadia.
