"Right, where are we now? John, have we reached the Scarred Tribes yet?"

- I wouldn't know, really, unless they came at us like the last ones.

We are trying to follow the dirtroads. For, like, third turn. Or have I missed some development?

Look around. Can I see any local edible uglies I can harass for bodyparts?

"Right, where are we now? John, have we reached the Scarred Tribes yet?"

Ascertain what our surroundings look like. Look for anyone from the tribes I've been told of.
...Xan have you been paying attention to recent events? We're in the land of the scarred tribes. Someone is already talking to them. We've been here a while. Plateaus? Snaking paths? Any of this ringing a bell?

"Uh... nothing. Nevermind. Don't worry about it."

Examine the platform, and assess the damage from the fight. If there's any obvious, easy repair work to be done, start on that.
The damage to the platform doesn't look too terrible; but you're gonna need some materials to fix it. Wood, nails, tools, etc.  The roof has been patched temporarily and the holes in the railings are rather...well OSHA wouldn't like it but it's not a structural flaw.  You could probably patch the holes in the deck with some some dirt if you really pack it in there, but it's gonna look like crap.

"That's a no."
Hold still and wait to see what they do.
The man takes a step  back.

"The flesh of a man tells more then his words." He says, "What do you seek, patched one?"

"Okay?"
Try to get other people to help fix the damage on the ship.
The Best way to do that would be to find materials. There are a few trees around here, gnarled dry ones that look hundreds of years old with wood like compressed sand. You could, with a little help probably cut them down. But you'd need some tools to hack it  up into planks and even then you'd need nails or glue or something to put everything together.

"Well, that was disappointing."

Sebastian licks his paw to calm his stress, and basks in the attention of his annoyed fellow travellers.

"Did I hear someone say they were famous?"
Well, they are certainly staring at you with annoyance. Dunno what powers that will grant you. Possibly a voice like gilbert gottfried.

"Did I hear someone say they were famous?"

"Woooo, yeah!  Xan o'r there, he can shit fire out 'is arse!  He's the most famous wizard in all of this hellscape!  Wooooo!  And I... I am Dave!  Monstrous beast what can split a man in half!"

Woooo!  Maybe help with repairs too, but mostly wooooo!
You use your WOOOO to power a series of tackles that bring down several trees.

Leave these twits to it as I go back to the tents, looking for signs of sentient life.
We'll say you join up with The Brain in a Glass ball, shall we? That will get you right into the action.

"Right, where are we now? John, have we reached the Scarred Tribes yet?"

- I wouldn't know, really, unless they came at us like the last ones.

We are trying to follow the dirtroads. For, like, third turn. Or have I missed some development?
I've had you guys mostly staying still because people were doing things on the ground and wandering away. I mean, if you wanna just charge forward into a new area and leave people here, we can do that.

Look around. Can I see any local edible uglies I can harass for bodyparts?
No one close by...well, no one thats not part of the crew that is.

"Oh right. Got too caught up in my wizardly powers."

Are there any actual villages or just that one random guy on a cliff that Hummy Hum's talking to? Because I totally got caught up in what I was doing and failed to realize what was happening.

Land behind our glassy representative. Excellent initiative on the part of our teammate! And to think it only took some reckless abandonment.

"I'm not much like a man, Tribesman.
Me and a few others are on a journey through this land, and I'm looking to trade. I don't have any goods on my person, but I could retrieve some things from yonder beast that might interest you."

Talk.

"Oh! I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? My name is Yellow. Would you like for me to call you by a name?"

Go searching the warbeast for any tools and supplies that can be used to help patch up the ship.

Assist [Toaster's Character] in drawing attention to his power by meowing and pointing. I tell everyone how mighty the little fella is. I do my best to focus everyone's attention on Toaster's strength.

There look to be scattered villages on basically every large mesa. And yes, Hummy is talking to one guy but that one guy is standing in front of a bunch of dwellings. We haven't seen any other people, but there's smoke coming from the central holes of the tents and the place certainly looks inhabited.

Maybe they're just shy?

"Greetings, good chap. I'm with this one," he inclines his head toward the sphere.
The man looks carefully at you. You can feel his gaze skittering across your feathers like mites.

"Your kind I have not seen before. But your flesh is pleasing in form."

"I'm not much like a man, Tribesman.

"Oh! I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? My name is Yellow. Would you like for me to call you by a name?"
"Names and flesh are the shackles of the earth." The man says, looking wistfully at the sky, "We have little, but are willing to trade. What is it you have and what is it you need?"

"Looka that, fellows!  Only a mighty beast could briiing down a mighty oak!  Or whatever the hell trees these are!  Wooo!"

Its hard to tell if anyone is really paying attention, but your belief in him and his own swelling self confidence seem to have made a difference.

You make it over to the ladders up to the top of the mesa, but unlike the others with the ability to fly, you're gonna have to climb. And this path looks rickety.

"Could trade you food, water, alcohol, or weapons. We also have a few explosive rocks from a hell to the north of here, I believe.
As for what we're looking for, we could use some supplies to repair the platforms on our warbeast, maybe some mechanical parts to maintain our other vehicle, and I in particular am looking for a tape recorder of some sort."


Converse. Afterwards, politely excuse myself and return to the warbeast. Invite the man to come along, if he likes.

"Hrm. Xan, please navigate us toward the closest settlement. Or the one our glass orb is talking at."

Have the warbeast move over to ... from what I understand, the villages are at the top of these mesas and the warbeast is at the bottom? Could we have the warbeast lift us up like with the Most High thing?
