Turn 65 Finding the shaman at last
The group starts canvasing the village, coming upon the school where you find the lizardmen children being instructed in commen, and lizardman languages as well as defense and sword and spear play.
The teacher, upon questioning, replies in commen language. "yes
humans,
our shaman has just left us but a moment ago. He has stepped over
for
lunch (points towards building 3) and should still be there. Feel
free
to go on over and sup yourselves"
He waits for any questions, and hearing none returns to his
students.
What you hear him teaching, is rudimentary commen.
Heading over to the supper hall, you walk quickly so as not to
lose the
shaman again.
This building is made of stone and wood, with a thatched roof.
Large
ferns grow on either side of the door, which is standing open.
There are
also 2 side doors and several windows. Upon entering the building,
you
note several large ornately carved cedar tables and benches. The
tables
are clearly old, and covered with small grooves made by lizardman
claws.
A quick survey and count of the opccupants shows you there are
about 20
lizardmen present eating lunch. Most of them appear energetic and
enthusiastic. (younger people? great food? who knows) One however,
has
slower movements. Taking his time to thoroughly chew each bite,
the
lizardman beckons you over with one clawed hand. Upon closer
inspection,
you realize that it is the shaman you search for. Minus the
headress, but his
ring and medallion apparent.
