Silvestri speaks quietly to those near I can sense that one of them is apprehensive to a degree, but I feel no hostility. This is encouraging

Belial continues to interact with the group next to the jagged, stone pillars. (Encounter via PM with Urson)

Visual Aid: Belial and the strangers are to the lower left; your approach is from the upper right.

The flying baboon has landed, but keeps his wings spread as if able to resume flight at a moment’s notice. The forward group notices two figures approach the shallow cliff and stand, observing your activities. One of them is a 7’ tall humanoid and the other appears to be a humanoid under 6’ high.

Actions?

Belial

The baboon flies back to rejoin his friends. Dudes! They don't seem to want any more trouble than we do. They said if we go near the biggest stone- on the South side- they'll go to the north one- then.... he looks puzzled. Somethin' about being embarrassed, I think?

Denslow says,I was hoping we might make new friends. At least they weren't new enemies.

Jack speaks up "Anyone not an enemy out here is a good thing. Far too many enemies to be found, a new friend is a far nicer outcome."

Belial

The baboon nods and grins, agreeing with the general positive vibes of the group. He'll make his way to the appointed waiting spot, then dig a snack out of his pack

Bummer! Got no fruit left? he mutters.

Per Belial’s instructions, everyone moves up to the marker stones and gathers near the southern pillar. The strangers move to the north stone and assess your party.
Image

(From left to right) An armored person around 5’-8” high, casually issuing orders; a hulking 7’, blue-skinned humanoid in black leather armor holding a rifle of some sort; a mutant monstrosity over 7’ high combining a female human and a spider; a cloaked figure with a mask that is floating 2-3’ above the ground; a person with multiple melee weapons burdened with a large backpack.

The armored figure with helmet and mask approaches your group, with the blue-skinned hulk walking a few steps to the right and behind. The hulk has a formidable rifle that he keeps at the ready but not pointing in your direction. They stop about 10 feet away and the armored figure speaks with a gravely female voice, “My name is Hiona Plateface and my companion here is Tamah Nojaz. We are traveling to Nuv Vano on the Eastern Sea. We have no desire for conflict, but we are formidable opponents. How should we continue?”

Image

The three other strangers have taken up a position with their backs to each other, but none are brandishing weapons with aggressive intent.

Actions?

Kurot waits passively. He has no desire to initiate hostilities, but he also sees no advantage of being the one to say so.

The tree steps forward. I'm am known as Denslow and my companions may name themselves if they wish. We are from Hagalton on our own mission. We seek no conflict but will defend ourselves fiercely should the need arise.

We may pass each other, one on the north of the road, one south, like a breeze through leaves. Or we may dine together and speak of many things. We would welcome news from the west and I'd wager you would like the same from the east. Though we many not have aligning priorities, our passage might be fruitful.

Kurot wonders if he should be embarrassed that a tree is more articulate than he is.

Jack tips his hat to the other group "I wish for no conflict either. We're headed to a mushroom grove and should be no trouble to you and your group. We won't hinder you in any way. My names Jack, pleasure to meet someone not hostile out here."

“Greetings Denslow, Jack,” says Hiona. She removes her helmet and goggles, and then continues, “Mushrooms you say? We once tried to explore the fungoid forests on the isthmus between the Exica and Lightning Seas, but were turned back by Karub Pirates.”(see world map -ML)

She pauses, looking at Jack’s side arm. “Is that a Slugger?”

Jack replies back "Indeed it is. Hard to find ammo for the thing though. I've carried it with me for quite some time."

“I was once a Ranger from the Zatox Territories,” she replies. ”I lost my Slugger fleeing spiders in the Bloodbone Lands.” (Jack knows of the Bloodbone Lands in Zatox, a region reputed to have once been alive after being exposed to another dimension. –ML)
