Noir after seeing everybody going decides to head into town and ask around about a church of some sorts.
the local villagers point you to an old idol, situated in a woody patch nearby, moss covered and faded. there are some dried flowers at it's base, where feet may have once been.
Lead them to the robit and ask them to help move it onto the cart. Thank them and offer them my sword to better protect against raiders and tell them in the future, "send any criminals you find and capture to the omega legion,to be sent straight to Jacky. The baron of the nearby town knows how to contact us." Try to give them an alternative way to contact the omega legion if possible...at all.
You arrive at the site, with Terrance and Samuel trying various tricks to making this easier. tehy help out with getting the thing into the cart. the villagers nod blankly at your empty boasts.
As a general rule, assume the Eye is generally focusing on gathering intel it was requested to gather, then situational awareness, assuming I miss something or pull a dumb because I'm not it.
certain things require your direct attention, and you and the others abandoned the baron's camp when things went south for Dar (literally going south, back to the camp, actually). So it was natural to assume that your attempts there were concluded. Situational awareness, I can do.
Welp, since Aylia just left before Dar could greet her, he'll just follow Alaran for now. He'll be there if Alaran needs help or something, and maybe catch a rat if things are boring.
...Since I'm curious, what does Dar'yajira think of all the unnatural mechanist machinery, as a druid? Is it just beign, curious, clearly bad, an affront, what?
Overall, his impression of the compound is one of natural destruction. this is unpleasant for him - an offense against nature, like a strip mine. However, there are some very strongly positive points along the way, including the machines that help tend the farms, and other 'nature care' type machinery. So his druidic impression is one of destruction with life being nurtured in bright spots. how specifically Dar reacts to that is your decision, as Druids are individuals. he could be totally offended and decide that all constructs are wicked, even when they are doing something beneficial to life, or he could acknowledge differences and say that how they are used matters, or he cold accept them as a part of the natural cycle of "birth, death, rebirth," or "create, build, tend, decay, destroy, create." he had no direct negative emotional response to Clunkers as an entity, nor the eye so it isn't the simple existence of the construct that is troubling, at least for Dar. Would you like more info on Druidic religious thought? I can provide some more straightforward basics, but again, Dar is no theologian or logical thinker, so it kinda comes down to what feels natural to him.
the tribble things are pretty neat though, and incite his urge to hunt and play.
Alaran, upon Dar's mention that he is available to help, thinks for a moment and then suggests that a pair of eyes with a unique perspective might catch flaws that others miss. he says it might be good for Dar to scout for places in the compound that the constructs could have gotten out from. Almost under his breath, he says, 'and for other things elsewhere n the compound.'
Wait and listen. There's no rush right now. The people I want to listen to most aren't actually the Baron himself - He's probably made his position rather clear - but to the people he seems to respect or listen to. I want to know whos opinion he cares about and why, and what those people care about. I doubt he'll discuss the actual logistics of his operation in this environment anyway.
it is difficult to navigate the conversations of the nobility, and to understand the interplay between them. For one thing ,there is a lot of formality, even at rather unexpected moments, while the informalities seem confined to specific situations. You haven't a good grasp on who, if anyone, in this group the Baron considers to be an advisor. You do discover that the Baron will be returning to his army in [4 turns]
