Elspa wordlessly points out the tracks to Rygnar, her eyes silently asking the question of whether or not to investigate.
Apr 13, 2017 1:04 pm
Rygnar nods "If this is to be where we make camp, I'd rather not have something sneak up on us while we sleep." He raises his great sword up and follows the tracks.

Elspa nods, and hefts her shield as she progresses further down to investigate the tracks.

You finish you meal while watching She Who Has Been Beyond the Reef organizes the village craftspeople to create a marketplace of wares arrayed on colourful blankets in the grass. Everything from weapons and armor to charms and trinkets are assembled for your perusal. Some are shipwrecked salvage, others are handmade in the village.

The craftspeople are a group of smiling older men and women who proudly arrange their products. She Who Has Been Beyond the Reef volunteers to facilitate your transactions.

ITEMS AVAILABLE

The village produces many of the non-magical item from the players handbook. Exceptions include items containing a lot of metal, such as chain and plate armor; two-handed weapons; crossbows and bolts; and technologically advanced items, such as spyglasses or timekeeping mechanisms.

In addition, the village has a few unique items for trade:

Sharktooth Blades - A broad-chested man with many tattoos proudly displays his blades that are mechanically the same as the original weapon type, but are made of wood (therefore float) and the weapon's edge is lined with shark teeth. Available as daggers, short swords, and longswords. They deal slashing damage only and do an additional damage die worth of damage when attacking an unarmored opponent (note: natural armor counts as armor). A crit fail breaks the weapon.
[ +- ] Shark Tooth Weapons
Fetishes: Single-use fetishes made from a twig and adorned with the appropriate material components. They are equivalent to a spell scroll, and can be used by any character who spends an action to snap the twig. They have the following available:

Cantrips

Guidance
Light
Mending
Prestidigitation

1st Level Spells

Bane
Cure Wounds

You continue down the slippery tunnel which is fast approaching another spacious cavern. As you approach, you see a small underground pool resides down here, and water drips into it from the ceiling. Before you reach the space, an old woman's voice calls out from within in a language that sounds like what they use in Panitube. Regardless of the language, it sounds annoyed.

At the same time you hear Moss calling from the entrance of the cave.

Jarveena buys arrows, and food. She admires the sharktooth weapons but they aren't right for her. "Look, Frick, them sticks heal an' shit!" Jarveena buys that shit.

"I think I'll take some of them healy sticks. I don't have much for trade, do you take gold?"

"Gold? Ha! You might as well pay us in sand! Drinker of Booze and Killer of Shit that Needs Killing, we have more of that shit than we know what to do with. But copper, that is a metal we would trade for. "

"Why do you speak in toungue of fancy village people, yet live like animal? Why you not up with them?"

"If you want copper, I can tell you where there's piles of copper," Frick says with a chuckle.
Apr 14, 2017 6:35 am
A strange, strangled sound comes from Jarveena, and her shoulders shake violently. It takes a moment to realize that she is laughing. "Copper! Fuckin' COPPER! Ye wanna go back an' get some?"

Elspa waits for a reply, or a sign of where this person is. She tries to pay particular attention to the presence of the clawed one.

"Copper? You don't want copper. Feh!" Ygne scoffs, reaching into her pocket and unceremoniously presenting the gold-and-silver fetishes she'd collected on the lizard-island, "You want this!"

Without showing it, she also grins and adds, "I also have a painting of a lady killin' some folk, an' she's near-naked, too."

"How many o' them fetish sticks can I get for it?"

Hearing Rygnar's voice farther down, Moss enters the cave...

HypCo says:

The old woman responds to Rygnar's question, this time in Low Atlantean:

"The pool is good for Auntie Zilla's aching bones. What good is a 'fancy village' if you live in agony? Besides, they are jealous of Auntie Zilla's beauty, heh heh!"

MOSS

You crawl past the jagged rocks until you reach the cathedral cavern. The one wall is covered in glyphs, and you can see torchlight coming from an opening in the center of that wall. You can hear Elspa and Rygnar conversing with a third voice from deeper within.

Moss will go towards towards them and when he enters the light, he'll hold the platter up and say,

Hi there, anyone hungry ?

She Who Has Been Beyond the Reef shakes her head.

"We could use the silver from the Shit Eaters' talismans, but it is barely worth the effort to clean them. I'll trade a bundle of arrows for them. As for some location of copper, that's just words, and I won't trade for words. Words are wind, and we have plenty of that on this island too."

"The picture is kinda hot though, I'll give you one Twig Fetish for it."
Apr 15, 2017 2:25 am
Ygne scowls, and tosses the fetishes on the ground. At the acceptance of the picture, however, she looks ecstatic. She takes the portrait out of her belongings, and ponders the fetishes. Looking to Jarveena, she asks, "Which one do you think is best? Think they really work?"

Rygnar squints his eyes in an attempt to make out anything "Jealous or afraid of your pet?" at the unexpected talking behind them, Rygnar swings himself defensively in front of Elspa and points his sword at the noise behind them with a growl. Upon realizing it's Moss, he turns his attention back to the old voice.
Apr 15, 2017 7:05 am
Elspa briefly turns her head at the arrival of Moss, tipping her head in a brief nod of acknowledgement before returning her attention to the woman. She lifts her torch to see just how beautiful this Auntie Zilla is.
