Within the Great Bowl
Hoa's keen eyes spot a pair of humanoids 30 feet or more up the trunk of a red-spotted tree. They are largely human shaped, but the color of their skin is very different. It's difficult to tell, given the shadows of the canopy and the various colors of the leaves that the light is filtering through, but the pair appears to be yellowish with darker spots. They are dressed in more primitive garb, leather with bits of synth or metal sewn on. They appear to be female, although, again, it is difficult to tell with the shadows.
Each archer has another arrow nocked, but not drawn. Each has a leg wound around a branch, securing a firing stance.
Even as Hoa locks eyes with one of them, the other turns and issues a string of what sounds like bird calls toward the direction of the towers. A third humanoid rounds from behind a tree, the one Derrick is dangling from, and begins walking toward the group. He is dressed similarly to the others and bears a bladed polearm of some sort, although he carries it in relaxed fashion.
He stops about 40 feet away and stares at the two of you (Hoa, Agatho) curiously, occasionally taking in Derrick as he continues to swing. He makes bird-call noises also, directly toward you, as he cocks his head to one side.
