((Huh, endlessly recursive idols. Cool, if unlikely to be useful.))

Unless there's objection from others, I vote to move on.

A lot of these places are gonna be weird but not terribly useful for much.

Or maybe they all have hidden features!

Or not.

((True, that's a lot of the fun of it. If I were there, I'd likely still be somewhere in the starting hell, exploring like a demented Skyrim player. However, Xan's the one in the driver's seat, and Xan wants to metastasize his legend sooner rather than later.))

"There actually are trees here, you know."

[wipeout1024]

Dionne gazes at the idols, while she sits atop the Warbeast. "You sure we should be touching these statues?

[Harry Baldman]

"Avast and hark, ye fine chaps! I spy an abandoned camp over yonder!"

Let's not move yet! First check the old camp!

[AoshimaMichio]

"Adventure! Solve the mystery 'Who was there?'!"

To the mystery camp! Explore around and bite everything that's not teammate.

"There actually are trees here, you know."

Well, none of them are trying to eat my brains, yet, is all I mean. Still you should probably keep an eye on them anyway. Never can tell with trees. They might be aligned with the birds, you know."

[piecewise]

It's all idols, all the way down! Good news is, there are no evil trees here! Hey, I bet we cold make a fortune selling these things! help me collect some!

Sebastian grabs up fistfuls of the finger sized idols and the idolsand, and sees if hte warbeast will pick up a bigger one - human sized or ten foot tall or whatever, to put up on his back. Then Sebastian will come up and be ready to move on, telling of his remarkable feat in discovering such a wonderful and rare archaeological find.

((well, at leastthis (1) didn't have significant negative effects.))

You scoop up a double handful of sand and stones and then, once the warbeast has picked you back up, ask the engine spirit to grab a larger stone. It recommends against a 10 foot one, considering the weight, and you instead settle an a thin looking 4 foot tall one. The war beast grabs it in one hand and carefully places it on the deck.

The Bird swoops down and picks up his reptilian friend, and together they fly out to the abandoned camp sight.  The site is clearly one of some significance; the ground has been cleared down to the idol sand in a large circle, at the center of which is a fire pit with a ring of larger stones around it. Around the fire pit are several large, long, and skinny stones that have been laid on their side to act as seats around the fire. Both Mr. Bird and his birdbrained friend pick through the camp, finding the remnants of food, a few bits of rope, and other signs of habitation. It's hard to tell when the camp was last used, but it seems like the sort of thing that wasn't made by a single group. Rather it was probably set up and then used by several people over time.

[Ozarck]

I examine my four foot acquisition carefully, learning its appearance and details. Then, if the bird and deathclaw hang around the campsite this turn, I will join them and examine everything. See what I can see. If they return to the beast, though, I will stay with the group.

[Xantalos]

While we're here, look around and see if any of the stones resemble anyone I've met so far, or myself.

Also surreptitiously examine myself to see if I'm undergoing any changes based on my legend being spread to the Most-Beautiful's lot.

[AoshimaMichio]

If bits of rope are any useable length, loot them. It's gonna be beginning of my treasure hoard. Also pick up one head sized idol to watch over my treasures. All this stuff goes naturally on warbeast's back.

"It's a mystery camp! Nobody knows who made it, but it was used by many! Who will solve this mystery?"

[Egan_BW]

Can I take a nap? I might have said before whether or not I sleep? Take a nap.

You look over the statue...rock....thing. Its not a human its depicting, it's some sort of weird...you're not really sure It might be an alien? Its a coiled snake like body with a 6 part head like thing that kind of looks like a spreading flower, an there are tons of thin coiled tendrils branching off the main body. Or maybe thats just artistic? Who can say. You poke at it a bit and it seems to be normal stone, not alive by any means at least. Still, you feel something is a bit strange about this.  There's a distant hint of FAITH about this thing, like a smell you can't quite place.

You feel the same as before, but you really didn't give the scarred tribes any sort of physical characteristics to exaggerate. Maybe your fire generating powers are stronger? It might be smart to check that out...

You wander around in the area near the war beast, checking through the statues, both great and small. Most of them look like...well like weird alien bullshit. You find a few buff bearded zeus or odin looking guys, but their statues never get outside the garden gnome range. And no, none of you or anyone you know.

"It's a mystery camp! Nobody knows who made it, but it was used by many! Who will solve this mystery?"

You gather up a claw full of descent sized rope and a reasonably sized idol of some sort of screaming monkey god thing. You carry it all back to the war beast and stash them in a corner of the living quarters.

[Harry Baldman]

Return to Xan briefly.

"Say, good chap, I see there's fire pit out there by the campsite! Try setting a fire there, will you? And make it last! Maybe leave a message as well, eh?"

[Xantalos]

Elder Thing(ish) statues, PW? That's ... interesting.

Retroactive good luck on your finals, by the by.

Return to Xan briefly.

"Say, good chap, I see there's fire pit out there by the campsite! Try setting a fire there, will you? And make it last! Maybe leave a message as well, eh?"

"I will take that as a suggestion instead of the command it was phrased as. Do watch your tongue in the future."

Fire pit? Perfect opportunity to test out my fire powers!
Stand well back before I begin.
