− | + | A successful diplomacy 9 DC check is enough to get Licu talking. His tribe, the [[Esuli]], is semi nomadic. It stays in between the [[Shanta]] and [[Musha]] where their mud fields prosper, but as [[Musha]] slowly spreads, they are forced to move every hundred years or so. | |

− | + | If Licu thinks he could trust them, he asks them to be at his village before the full moon. He explains that the lupa bloei will bloom then and the [[garos crab]]s will eat all the [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Truncata_clam truncata] they find. His village needs these clams for a number of cures, and they need a good supply this year because the village is moving away from the spreading [[Musha]]. The crabs are not a challenge for the elves but there are many mud fields. | |
− | + | Licu plucks a hair from his head, quickly and smoothly ties it in a knot and wraps it in a piece of cloth. He hands it to the adventurers, careful to hide what he is doing. | |

"There is no trail on the other side of the [[Si'garos]], go straight south and you should come across some mud field. When you get to the mud field area, the one in front will lift his arm high.

− | + | The sentry guides them in front of one of the bark and vine huts built around a tree, most of the others being the smaller hanging types. A female elf comes out of the hut. | |

''You are guided inside the largest building you've seen in this tree village. It's base is made up of 3 thick branches protruding from two different trees. They align so perfectly one would believe they were grown for the job. The building's floor and walls are bark-like but very smooth. 30 woven stools fill the hall in neat rows.

It's sides are carved in elven symbols but for a clear 10 cm thick line stretching from top to bottom of the stump.'' | ''You are guided inside the largest building you've seen in this tree village.
