Arkun-Sha! Bringing down the chieftan was so badass I almost forgot it was scripted.

Alca-un. She's the most badass, of course!

5 (26.3%)

Ulla-Sha. Going on a century didn't stop her from whooping ass.

7 (36.8%)

Amma-ah, she's so caring and kind, how could you not like her?

Well,  when the little fight had happened, it was to decide who would escort Alca and no one truly won

Didn't we win by default when he cheated and ran?

[javierpwn]

That is up to the elders...

[Thecard]

That is up to the elders...

Why?  He clearly forfeited.
Also, if I'm remembering correctly, he challenged us to a fight to the death because he didn't like us challenging his authority.  I don't think Alca was part of the winner.  The elder's had decided to let us go, and we didn't cheat during the fight.  I can't see why they would change their minds and not let us escort her.
Also, unless they want to have a very upset tribe of easterners, they're gonna make good on the marriage agreement.  Unless the other party called it off.

[GreatWyrmGold]

It's also possible that they don't think we're worthy of guarding Alca after seeing our almost-failure, or want to send her out before we would be able to travel.

[javierpwn]

Or they found someone Else to Wed...

[Karnewarrior]

Kaian is right, the "marriage" was just a sly diplomatic move to feel out the other tribes, which is why Alca was chosen. She's beautiful but not really a shining example of femininity, which the eastern tribes prize higher than even the western ones (at least for marriage. A girl is allowed to "be a man" and a man to "be a woman" in the east, but if you do you're not allowed to get married if you choose that path).

"Who's a sneaky-" you begin cheekily, but Ulla smacks you on the top of the head.

"Ehh... Alright then. What about Alca and me? Is she still off to investigate the East Tribes?"

"There's no need now. With the Fallen Star we need all the ears of the tribe as close as possible, so we're even recalling wanderers and diplomats. The other tribes are doing the same, all the way to the Farlake." Says Ulla.

"My scouts have returned as well. We think more stars have landed near every large body of freshwater in the area. Save ours. Ours landed in the Southlands." The southlands are... well, to the south. They're a badland that goes, as far as you know, forever into the south, until it runs up into the edge of the world, or into a land of the dead, or any other set of rumors. Several goblins have attempted to cross it, but only one returned, and only because he broke his ankle three days out and destroyed his foot getting home.

"We were just discussing this." Says Amma uselessly, " I was saying that maybe we should send out someone to go take a closer look."

"Amma, as your best friend for fifty three snows, I have to say that you are the most useless conversationalist I've ever seen." Says Ulla-sha.

Amma blushes. "I don't get out much."

Ulla snorts. "That's obvious." She looks at you again. "Your little date with Alca-un's going to have to wait. We've more important things to do. If you have any questions, ask them now."

What happened to the "great" warrior raun Khet?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Wasn't he the guy who chickened out and sent in some people to attack us in the duel? Probably fleeing in shame.

[javierpwn]

Most likely, but I want to FEEL his punishment in the words of the GM
He also probably lost his apprenticeship to the warrior for getting beat by a name-less

[Origami_Psycho]

Yes, ask what happened to chicken shit.
Then offer to be that scouting party.  And ask Alca along because she's a bit of a badass.

[Thecard]

Mmhhm.  Ask what happened to Raun-ta.

[kaian-a-coel]

-what happened to raun-khet and Alca-un (she did kill three goblins after all. Said goblins were broking the law or whatever, but still.)
-what are we gonna do after taking a good look at that fallen star. I know "it depends", but there is already several possibilities they can think of.
-Is something special gonna happen to us. (expect a "no" and "you're just gonna catch up with your training as soon as we can afford you not slacking up".)

[Thecard]

Yeah, ask everything Kain said, but make sure we insult Raun.  He doesn't deserve whatever the hell "-khet" means.  He deserves a more derogatory one, for cowards.  I assume the Goblin language has one of those, but if not just "-ta" will do.

[kaian-a-coel]

Well, for all we know "-khet" could mean anything (one-eyed, sly bastard, fatass, god-emperor of goblinkind... well not really but still), so saying he doesn't deserve is far from certain. I'm fine with calling him a retard though (even if he surely isn't.).
