JARVEENA and MOSS
The dinosaur falls dead amidst its flurry of claws and teeth, Jarveena's arrow sticking out of in its neck. Jarveena's next arrow finds its mark in the huge tree creature, taking a notch of diseased wood out of its face. Light streams through the gaping wound.
In retaliation, the undead Treant raises its arms and strikes at the little man at its feet. One of the branches connects solidly. (Moss takes 21 bludgeoning damage)

ELSPA, FRICK, RYGNAR, and YGNE
Khiva looks back and forth between Ygne and Elspa, and her face momentarily locks in a confused look. The Seventh unfolds his big arms slowly, his attention squarely on the group. But the moment passes and she continues.
"Then we are in your debt, First Hunter of the Grey Pack. Once you are cleaned of the Shit Eaters' filth, we would have you as our guests as well."

Elspa stops. She tilts her head back and to the side, assessing both Khiva and the Seventh. "Yes," she says finally, and looks to Rygnar with a nod, her face a non-emotive mask. "We should get clean."

Khiva seems visibly relieved. The Seventh continues to stare through the eyes of his skull mask, unchanged.
"Good! I was starting to worry for your health. Shit Eater's Misery starts four days after you breathe their stench."
An elderly woman fetches some of the cloth-wrapped banded tusks.
"Fucking Pirates" Khiva spits.
The Seventh speaks up in his native tongue: "They are emboldened by the bounty their salvages as of late, and we have been complacent. The attack last night smelled of treachery. Their timing was too good."
He pauses and adds "Where is the one that calls himself The Healer?"

Elspa seems displeased with the ivory rods, but takes them. Without a word, she heads back to the beach to begrudgingly cleanse herself.
Jun 20, 2017 8:27 pm
"He went hunting, I think he said," Frick replies, waiting for Elspa to return.
Jun 20, 2017 8:27 pm
Rygnar gives Elspa a silent nod and follows her if she leave.
OOC:
Rygnar is clean, by his standards at least, right?
Jun 20, 2017 8:33 pm
Ygne waits by Khiva and the Seventh. Her arms are crossed and as more time passes she goes from amusement to complete displeasure. She looks to Frick, "I should say something. Can't let 'em do this. They're being shitheads."
Jun 20, 2017 8:45 pm
When some distance is put between themselves and the village, Elspa says to Rygnar, "It will be easier to get into that waterfall if they let us wander about."
She looks at the ivory rod. "I ain't liking this any more than before, but I guess I gotta get used to it if we're gonna deal with orbs and pearls and the dead coming back." She will cleanse herself as originally requested, looking like a child that's been told to eat her vegetables.
"The less hassle they give us, the better. I got a feeling they's probably not gonna let us walk out of that cave with their orb, so I'd rather fight on the way out than on the way in." Elspa tosses a rod to Rygnar.

Can I use Acrobatics to get into the hole of the treant ? With an appropriate description of how in my post of course.

"Your call," Frick says, "It'll speed up the fight with Rygnar a bit. Cuz you know that's coming..."

Acrobatics. Your Dexterity (Acrobatics) check covers your attempt to stay on your feet in a tricky situation, such as when you’re trying to run across a sheet of ice, balance on a tightrope, or stay upright on a rocking ship’s deck. The GM might also call for a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to see if you can perform acrobatic stunts, including dives, rolls, somersaults, and flips.

Ygne give Frick a nod, though she's noticeably frowning. She turns to Khiva and asks, "What would happen if someone broke the pearl keeping Ulupoka here?"
Jun 20, 2017 9:43 pm
Rygnar stares at the sands, his words are hesitant and pained "Elspa...I'm sorry...but I do not agree with the need of that child." he looks up at Elspa and catches the rod "Leaving her in that village, on her own...I have a feeling we won't make it anywhere near the cave without them stopping us. She cares little, if at all, of this mission; she cares only for herself." Rygnar mimics Elspa with the rod, cleaning himself "I see her more likely to fight for them than us...I go against your wishes, if she steps in my way...I will kill her."
Jun 20, 2017 11:00 pm
"I ain't gonna stop you," says Elspa, providing all the authority Rygnar would need if he were the type to require it.
She looks back up the stairs, almost expecting someone to be coming down after them. When she next speaks, it's on a different topic. "The way I see it, both this god and this village agree that the dead won't stay dead, there's all kinds of big dead things in the water and on that big island, and it's all because of this pearl. Ulupoka is the God of the Dead, pearl won't let the dead stay dead, means he can't do what he's supposed to do, and this village ain't done nothing about it. And then, they got these... Spirit Mothers, makes it seem like they's want a piece of that power. Smash that pearl, god takes his revenge, dead things go to sleep, and we can sail out of here. Yeah, maybe he's gonna try and kill us afterward, but we deal with that if it happens."
Elspa returns her attention to Rygnar, and seems to also return to the original statement. "Whatever the others choose, that's their lot. Maybe they's forming their own pack, 'cause they got their needs and we have ours. If she wants to choose them and make this her home, so be it and I wish her well." She points up to the village. "That pack can stay here; we're gonna leave, and to do that we need to smash that pearl. It'd be best if they let us do so without getting in our way, but if not..."

Seeing the treant's arm coming directly on him, Moss jumps backwards in the air to absorb some of the shock of the blow and grabs on the arm. Opening his mind, Moss manages to see glimpses of the near future...The treant's arm is gonna pass near the hole in his body. Trying to time it right, Moss let's go, twisting his body in the air so that he can land safely inside the treant. If Moss gets inside, he'll take a vial of trog sweat in his pouch and break it to try disturbing the beetles in some way or another...

"If not, there won't be any of them left to call it home." Rygnar finishes the "cleaning", bends the rod, and tosses it to the sand.
