Desnus 21st 14 - The Nomen Tribe

The group head east, then south east and then finally east on foot taking about 2 days and arrive at the area of the camp late afternoon.

As the group travel, in the distance group of centaur could be seen approaching. As a sign of non-hostility the group stand and wait nervously with no weapons drawn.

Once upon them there were 8 centaurs in total, all appeared to be female as they circled the group with angered faces looking down at them, they then speak in Sylvan (thankfully Natalia and Otto knew what they were saying) “Why do two legs dare travel in Nomen territory!?”.

Otto and Natalia respond back in the Sylvan tongue that the group had come to return an important item they had found and believed that it belonged to the Nomen tribe. The centaur’s asked “What item?” 

Natalia then said the words Skybolt at which the centaur’s appeared to shocked but agreed to escort the two legs to the war priestess.

Two hours later the group arrive at the Nomen camp where a large number (150ish!) of female centaur were present.

Acora Silverfire exited her tent as the group are escorted towards her, the group bow in respect just before Natalia and Otto begin to explain what the events of Vanhold and what they discovered.

A gasp goes round the camp as Skybolt is unveiled and Vaneer extends his arms out with the bow towards Acora whom seemed extremely grateful.

Acora asks the group to sit by the fire with her and tell them everything they know, Natalia explains that the group mean no threat and are just here to investigate the disappearance of the town folk of Vanhold and that they discovered fey running wild through the town and after dealing with them they discovered Skybolt.

Natalia further explained that they wanted to return the relic and asked if the tribe knew of what happened to Vanhold, during discussion the group try to explain that there is a particular tribe of two legs (House Surtova) that would like to see the Noman tribe eradicated and teach the centaur’s how to identify the Surtova signal.

Acora then explains that in order to obtain the Nomen tribes trust the group must compete and complete a tribal challenge. It involves running a course through the Noman and Bullet lands, marking sacred rocks with blood.

Acora encourages the group to rest as the challenge will take place tomorrow at sunrise and they should be well rested, the group accepts the challenge and retire for the evening at the centaur camp.
