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

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

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

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

Go in, look, don't steal stuff yet.

[Thecard]

We shall begin the long standing tradition of goblin theft.
So get the fuck in that tower and steal EVERYTHING!

What, you wanna evolve into Kobolds now?

[rabidgam3r]

That wouldn't be bad, as long as we can actually do stuff without being chopped to pieces by a blind, deaf and dumb quadriplegic mouse with Alzheimers.

That's like saying being a dog wouldn't be so bad if you weren't four-legged.

Kobolds aren't that bad...
Replace "blind" with "angry," "deaf" with" insane," "quadriplegic" with "paraplegic," "mouse" with "dwarf," and "Alzheimer's" with "its bare hands," then I agree.

Heart racing, you climb stealthily through the window and into the tower.

It's cool in here, far cooler than you're used to during this time of year. There's a slight breeze in here that isn't outside, but it's so small you can barely feel it with anything but your sensitive ears.

On further investigations, the movingbox seems to be made out of some shiny, smooth material. Strange sigils are painted on the side, along with some lumps that seem separate from the rest of the box. The moving colors seem to be painted on the inside of some clearstone, which is embedded in the device. Upon a tenative pressing of one of the small lumps, the colors abruptly turn black, and there's a small pop. Now that it's gone, you realize it had been making a soft sound, quiter than the purr of a grub.

You contemplate stealing something, but something tells you not to do it. If these things are so powerful as to have moving paints and clear stone so abundantly, it's probably best not to establish a reputation of theft.

Should you investigate anything else, or is it time to leave?

Get a quick look around to spot other weird things, then leave. Get back to cover and observe them for as long as your supplies allows you to.

Also see if the lumps do anything...

[Karnewarrior]

You already pressed the lumps, which turned the movingbox a solid black and made the tower unnaturally silent.


A quick look around the house, you decide, is the best option. You scamper about, discovering all sorts of new and interesting items. There's the large sleeping mat, which proves to be quite bouncy in a most entertaining way.AGELESS WISDOMYou don't allow yourself to be cought up in it, however, remembering an old tale Ulla-sha told you of a small hatchling that got caught in a cave-in while playing with a small trough and a round rock. So entertained was he that he failed to notice the cave-in until it was too late, and he died before the rest of his tribe could break open the rocks.

You will die no such death here. You climb back out of the clearstone portal, tugging it shut behind you with a skill that belies your inexperience with it. You retreat back to the edge of the crater, and take another overarching look at the town.

The Tall Beings have gathered in a central square, around a stage. It's built with more skill than any your tribe could build in a week, yet you know it was not there this morning. As the suns set, first the weak one and then the other, a Tall Being stands upon the stage and begins to make a speech.

You feel tempted to get closer, to hear what they are saying, even if you cannot understand. But you fear being caught. You notice sharply how several large trees were cut down so clean, the whole tree come a toppling down, and then moved. You notice how small, odd animals you've never seen before seem to follow and fear these creatures. You notice gleaming blades at some hips, and other intruments which you are sure means death.

And most of all, you notice their growing agitation. You do not recognize most of their body language, but they grow restless. When this happens to animals, they are far more likely to maul...

To kill.

>Eavesdrop?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Yes.

[Xantalos]

I guess it's time to ...
 
 
Earsdrop.
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

[kaian-a-coel]

actually try to get a look at the speaker and his/her body language. if he's sad, the restlessness should originate from bad news (such as accidents, food or house related problems and so on.). if he's angered, this may mean conflict. against who? that remains to be discovered.
Looking at their tools, the most probable is a conflict with another tribe of theirs (because there's no way they are the only one of their species. They must come from somewhere.)

[RulerOfNothing]

Yeah, I think we should hang around (discreetly of course) and see what these odd beings are going to do.
