TUW: Welcome to the Jungle

Day 238: The Other Clan

Once the battlefield was gleaned, Indigo suggested a quick look in on the party's horses to make sure all was well with them. Taking only a few minutes to accomplish, the party returns by the same path, then turns westward, away from the Da'Roneh and toward the Deviard village.

The mid afternoon sun is still at such an angle upon the valley to cast long shadows. The Seekers, being overly cautious at this point, find themselves flinching at shadows, not out of fear but preservation. Each is ready to attack, not run.

After an hour of slow moving along a definite path, whoever is currently in the lead sees a bag, in plain sight, sitting upon an old felled tree.

Kwargrow · Jul 4, 2018

When the Seekers stop to rest San-Bolo will take time to go through the new talismans and items, separating the ones they recognize from any unfamiliar ones. Finding the proclivity of new items can wait though.

When he sees the bag Sannit will use his spear to prod it with the blunt end, attempting to trigger any traps if the bag is bait. Bolo will keep an eye on the jungle around them with an arrow nocked and ready. Turtle will smell around, trying to find the scent of the bag and the suroundings.

Saemund packs away the ethical implications of his actions for another day...he puts remarks made by the others in there too..."I am saving lives"... Saemund gathers what he can and gives it to San-Bolo and picks a spot to rest until the party is ready to move on.

GM:

As it turns out, all items were readily identifiable, at least by common type, except the bird skull.

Seeing Sannit examining the bag from spear's length and before he can prod it, Sheldon, Merin, and Tor, all say to wait.
Sheldon -
"At this point, I have the greatest range of Divination, let me see if any other people are... Nevermind. I do not sense anyone else in the immediate area. Go ahead."

[sblock=Sense Traps]Sannit: 33(perception) + 33(konokoro) + 87(d100) = 153
Unknown factors do weigh in on such attempts, such as complexity, nature, and subterfuge.[/sblock]

GM:

Sannit senses no trap or trigger device. As he prods the bag, the small objects inside move as if settling, producing a muffled chinking sound; and even through the spear, they have the feel like metal.

With the rest of the Seekers covering him, Sannit will walk forward, making sure not to step on a trigger, open the bag, and look inside.

GM:

With due caution, Sannit opens the bag. It is indeed what his first impression indicated, a bag of metal ingots, tin ingots to be specific. There appears to be a 100. There is nothing else about the bag or its location to give any indication of its reason for being there.

Sannit does not pick up the bag, leaving it where it is. He says to the Seekers, "I suppose this is some kind of bribe for us to leave the valley without confronting them. We never agreed to that so we're not bound by it if we don't accept the bribe. It doesn't seem fair to attack the Da'Roneh and not the Deviard so I say we investigate their village anyway. If they're hostile we can fight their warriors and leave the rest in peace, but we'll have crippled their ability to prey on others. On the way back we can pick up the tin. Does anyone object?"

Tellerian Hawke · Jul 11, 2018

Merin and Tor's Thoughts On The Matter

Merin says, "I don't trust it. I think that even if we took the bribe, and left them alone, they'd see it as a sign of weakness, and follow us, and attack us anyway, probably in our sleep."

Tor nods. He then says, "I would normally honor such an attempt at truce, but I am in agreement with Merin, and moreover, I cannot leave them to prey upon others, as Sannit so wisely mentioned. We should launch a focused, preemptive strike, and let them know, in no uncertain terms, that they are not wanted here."

Sheldon runs his left hand through his hair pulling it back from his face.
"From what I know of the Deviard, they are malevolent and not prone to forthright behavior. If this is a bribe for us to just walk away, I am with you. I say we ignore and go see what gives."

Indigo frowns at the bag.
"As if we could be bought for a pocket full of tin..."

Day 238: Bribe Not Taken

Ignoring the bag for the time being, the Seekers move on along the path on the western side of the lake in the hidden valley. The path drifts more upland and away from the lake a bit as it continues. At a point that the party estimates to be about the middle of the lake, the path splits. The path that the party is on continues southward following the lake and drifts back toward it. The adjoining path is perpendicular and proceeds up the western face of the valley. Upon a random boulder, at the junction point, in plain view has been placed a stack of forged metal bricks.
