Sitting around the campfire, Kobal nods to acknowledge the boasts of
Leaper and
Tarosh of their deeds and those of their family.
Tarosh Long Neck:
"I have no idea who they were, we didn't bother asking their names before we killed them." he chuckles, "We're not stupid enough to raid her family, she has been known to help a few braves who ran a foul of those cursed lunars" He looks directly at Tarnessh, "What does it matter that they are of the people? We raid and kill other clans all the time."
Tarnessh and his strange thoughts again, Kobal thinks to himself, as he observes the exchange between his half-brother and
Tarosh.
Then again, as Rangers we are to unite the Wastes. Maybe this raiding and feuding will have to change for that. He shakes his head, as if to banish the ideas.
Now I'm getting strange thoughts too.
GM:
All too soon the coals are put out and the Morokanth set forth, sending two of their number far out ahead with the pack of hyenas as scouts.
It's a clear night, so the stars are visible and the it's still possible to see a little way.
An hour later the band are out of the gullies and boulder fields, heading across the Rhino grass plain before the Rhino Rocklands.
As the party continues on its way, Kobal looks out for any areas where it might be good sow melon seeds, particularly where there are signs of water or substantially more vegetation. On the odd occasion, he stops Black Hoof to get down, quickly plant a few seeds, and then re-mount to catch up with the others.
Ohanzee Shappa:
As his song of praise progresses his voice rises with the excitement of the situation, he can hear his own heart pumping loudly in his ears and even feel the strong heart of that of Wihakayda below him starting to race with excitement as the rhino picks up the pace.
With each verse, with each chorus the beast speeds a little more and when it is over the rhino needs no encouragement to break into a gallop, Ohanzee on his back calling through the night air with ululations as he breaks from the group and honours Great Rhino in the purest way, in a rhino charge!
He doesn't know rhino ways, but Kobal knows a good song when he hears it. When
Blue Arm has finished his song, Kobal clashes his lance against his shield in appreciation, even as the rhino riders are galloping away.
He turns to the male morokanth and says to them. "
We have not fought harpies before. What can you tell us about them? What are their weaknesses? How do they fight? How is it best to defeat them?"
