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?

[Origami_Psycho]

Go to camp land.

[Rtyh-C]

I've had a lot of fun reading this thread, can I join now as well?

Anyway, I vote that we learn more of the language and try to communicate as well as we can with the aliens. We should make it clear that we are scientifically minded; maybe we could try asking for some information regarding astronomy or physics, if our (very) limited comprehension of their language allows us to. All the time, of course, being very careful not to show any signs of violence.

I'd wok on learning how to talk about the weather before learning what causes it.

The suns are setting in the distance when you step into view of Crater Camp (which is what you've come to call it). The rest of the Aliens seem more relieved at the safe return of most of their own, rather than shocked at your sudden appearance, but this soon calms down and they come to realize what's just happened.

You're sent a escort, oddly equipped with thick padding you assume to be some sort of armor, and long tubes of shining stone, All with handles and some with scopes. You assume they're some sort of spear, though they aren't holding them correctly for any forseeable stabbing maneuver.

You're ushered into groups of five and led to separate rooms. You can finally see some logic in their actions; if you think a large group will be dangerous and you have a chance to separate them, you would do so. You hope you aren't being taken prisoner... it certainly feels like it! With their odd body language you can't tell what they're feeling beyond the most rudimentary fashion, as if you had taken to watching starfish and attempting to draw relationships between them.

You're grouped together with Ulla, who still is radiating the frosty aura from camp, Alca, who keeps looking at escape routes and is obviously planning kill-strategies aginst the Aliens, and Usun, a childish goblin you've had little to do with up to this point. After a while, a Alien steps in and drops off a set of items.

There is a twig with a strange, stone tip. It sits on a slip of some sort, almost leaflike in texture, and brief experimentation shows it can be used to make dark, clear marks.
There is a cube, comprised of smaller cubes, colored with odd leaflets of a colored substance and stuck on by unknown means.
There is a large brick of what seems to be wood, but cut into small leaves like the one paired with a twig. From the marks, this one is a compilation of drawings of some sort.
There is a small, black item, similar to the movingbox you saw on your scouting trip. It appears to be... inactive, with the clearstone uncolored. It's also far, far smaller.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Pick up movingbox-like item. Examine it closer.

[Thecard]

Try to somehow communicate to them that we want to meet with the Alien we talked to earlier.
Refuse to jump through any hoops until they do.  We aren't just some lab rat to be studied.

I figure we can draw a rough picture of us leading them into the camp, and then point to the aliens we were escorting.

-a sheet of paper and a pen
-a rubik's cube
-a photo/drawing book
-a mobile phone?

attempt to push any buttons found on the picturebox.
Draw the solar system (what you remember from the alien's explanation)
read the book
carefully move the rubik's cube. Possibly solve it.

But before all that, discuss with the other goblins and explain what you know, and listen to any advice on what to draw (for example) they have.

[Rtyh-C]

Draw constellations. That worked last time. Failing that, try to press anything pressable on the mini-movingbox.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Of course.

Draw the solar system (what you remember from the alien's explanation)

To much player knowledge.

read the book

We don't know how.

I have no opinion in this.
Weird.

Good idea.

I don't think so, the aliens painstakingly explained us this. Showing we undersood it is a proof of intelligence or whatever.

read the book

We don't know how.

Look at pictures.

I had forgotten the part where we discovered the pencil wrote.

Oh, yeah, a pictgure book.

Posting to watch.

1. Pencil / Pen? + Paper?
2. Rubik's Cube?
3. Notes?
4. Laptop / Phone?

Just my thoughts.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Obviously, obviously, picture book, iphone/tablet/similar.
