"Me too! Here, let me try!"

Sebastian Yowls in an attempt to summon the power of the voice, to bring down a lightning bolt nearby but not directly where anyone is.
"You could not learn it. Or rather a man alone could not use it. The voice of the people requires the effort of many."


Dave pokes around to see if there's anything he can use to tape his horn back on.  Failing that, maybe a cool necklace for it?
We have some glue...though it is wood glue. It might work. But you have no hands or thumbs or any way of effectively positioning the horn to put it back on.

Well the little death claw heads off, with a band of people trailing behind him (or above him). We'll assume he reaches the valley in this turn because eh why not.  The valley is a small canyon with a fast moving, narrow river at the bottom. It's an oasis in this dry and hatefully warm place, with a thin line of dense vegetation growing up all around it. The canyon is all of 50 or so feet wide, with 20 of that taken up by the river, and the rest being split between the banks on either side.  The river is brown with sediment and full of rapids, filling the entire canyon with the roar of turbulent water.  What look like palm trees and ferns and all manner of jungle plants cling tight to the bank, struggling to maintain their grip on the tiny patch of fertile soil available to them.  Among those trees and plants you immediately catch sight of something that looks like a wild boar.  It's easily 6 foot at the shoulder and covered in dense prickly brown fur. Even from up here on the crest of the canyon you can see the gleaming ivory tusks jutting out of its lower jaw.

"Would you be willing at least to describe the method by which your people use the voice? Is there some ritual you conduct beforehand, or a ceremony you must go through?"

Try to mentally fit his explanation with what I've learned from the book if I can.

"Ooh, that looks strong!"

Favourite deathclaw attack is to charge and slash and stab and dodge just before opponent attacks. So let's do that. Wait, 6 feet tall? Isn't that like almost two meters?

Edit: Of well, lets do it anyways. Favourite deathclaw attack is to charge and slash and stab and dodge just before opponent attacks. So let's do that.

Sebastian grows bored and licks his shoulder. He then wanders around randomly rubbing against people's legs, hoping for attention.

He describes a ritual involving drums and chanting that uses the entire nation of his people. From what you can tell, it seems to be a method of focusing faith.

Uh...it sort of sticks on...unless dave moves his head or walks too roughly...or at all.

The team and the man notice you...kind of. Mostly they just nudge you with their foot without saying anything or even looking at you. How disheartening.

Clearly this requires drastic action.

Distantly follow behind whoever's going to the hunting grounds.
That would be the soon to be corpse spoken of below...

1.8 meters tall, to be precise.

You leap down and land square on the boar's back. Not claws first in a deadly drop attack like you wanted, more  face first in a hilarious plop. The boar, which just felt something fairly big drop onto it, squeals and starts running.
[1]
You bounce off its back and fall straight into the rapidly flowing river, bouncing against rocks and being swept down stream, struggling to keep your head above the water.

Help fish the deathclaw out of the stream! It may be questionably useful, but such eagerness should be rewarded always.

I climb up onto the main scarred speaker's shoulder and ask, right into his ear:

"So, what kind of effects does your People's Voice achieve? Fireworks? Lightning strikes? Loud noises?"

"Interesting. How did the voice first come to be?"

Anthropology!

I think this is anthropology, the word says to my brain that anthropology is what I'm doing here.
