❏ Gordrik has also been seen at Dakoda's hut, a somewhat far off look on his face as he follows the bull around. His attitude has seemed to mellow a bit, but if history serves he may revert to acting out again as Koza is gone from the village.
❏ Koza has been seen talking to many people around the village, namely Hotah and even Felgur, although the interaction between the two Orcs was brief and strained as the older male seemed heavily drunk and Koza simply wanted advice on how to keep the sun from assaulting her face as she prepared to make her trek towards the Highperch. Before she left with the others, she could be seen dropping of a package of sorts at Dakoda's hut.
❏ Enyetof seems uneasy. Something has caught the druid's attention, and he spends a few hours each day away from the village. When he does return, he has often been seen around the greenhouse.
❏ Venzolo's wounds are finally nearly healed though whatever magical shenanigans brought him to desolace seem to have taken a toll on him in more than just a physical way. Testing his spells away from the tribe in secret he has realized that he is having trouble building up mana in order to cast spells properly and he get aches and pains after he does cast some spells successfully. While he has not lost his magic it is considerably weaker than when he was blasting foes apart with ease as a magical mercenary. This has made him consider what is the best course of action going forward considering the Horde and Alliance both don't like him right now. However, he knows whatever path he takes moving forward he will need some money to do so. Thus, he is trying to work out a deal to work with the Skyrunners for money and continued shelter.
❏ Iko's work on her kodo skull house has progressed wonderfully. She's set up an entire area for future beast-keeping endeavors. She seems to have been keeping to herself these past few nights, and when she does come around, she smells strongly of sulphur. This is a new development for this totally-not-a-warlock to be sure. Hinjen is sated on magic and seems safe to let roam the village again. He doesn't leave Iko's immediate vicinity regardless, but at least he's not dangerous anymore.
❏ After putting the basilisk to rest, Mahala can be seen sporting her prize, a small basilisk crystal, on her hip. After that night she is often seen spending time with the wyverns or helping with her tent progress. When alone, the Druid wears a pained expression that quickly disappears or changes to a smile when approached. It seems she has many things on her mind at the moment.
❏ Having taken part in the Trials of the Closed Fist, Grymdel was reminded of the need to train with not just weapons and arms, but close hand-to-hand as well. After all, warriors can be dismounted and disarmed and should be ready for battle no matter the circumstances. Upon waking the next day he took Snagg to a clearing just outside the village and first began with some strength and conditioning training, from there they moved to grappling and striking until both were tired out and ready to break their fast. In the afternoon, Grymdel approached Narv and Muuran, and asked about what provisions they needed. If the village had a need of ore, hides or leathers, Grymdel and Snagg could help by gathering those things.
❏ Kamiri has been more cheerful the past couple of days. She has been seen around the village practicing on her new, albeit odd sounding, flute. A loud croaking sound that is becoming harder and harder to hide can be heard from within Kamiri's tent.
❏ The elf has recovered fairly quickly due to the careful treatment of Jaeva and Enyetof and an elaborate staged break out for the elf in the cage has been planned. At the switching of the guards Bonesplitter would come over and unlock the cage for her, having gained her trust for the last few weeks. It is hoped that she takes the breakout as something honest on the Forsaken's part and will lead the scouting group to her companions.
❏ Huntha has been seen helping around the village though he seems preoccupied and in deep thought. Aja'it has been with him nearly constantly and can be heard conversing in broken Orcish, Zandalari and Tuarahe about loa and what was happening about the village. Whatever is going on with him the boy remains quiet more often than not. They have also been seen in the new fighting pit created by Koza sparing together. If anyone were to spy on them Aja would be teaching the boy about beserker control and how to apply it. Progress was slow.
❏ Hotah has been in a bit of a flurry about the village as he gets ready to bear witness to Koza's travels. The usually very mellow and calm bull seems to be taking the matter a bit too seriously as he preps all the animals for his absence. He has also been seen speaking to Kanatu alone on several occasions.
❏ Nataka Longhorn has taken up extra patrol shifts with the group off to Uldum and he remains steady and cheerful as ever. He's been seen with Hotah, no doubt taking some of his duties as well for when he is gone. The older bull seems in good spirits but has a faintly troubled look about him. He's been watching the tribesman carefully as if looking for something specific.
❏ Harnor being annoyed is not pleased at all with the addition of the goblin in the village. He's gotten a sour look on his face and any time he sees Venzolo he scowls spectacularly. He can also be heard muttering under his breath as he works in the kitchens and at the fire pit while roasting the giant basilisk something along the lines of "Not edible. I'll show you. Sit on you little smear on my hoof."
❏ Muuran, in a clumsy accident has smashed his thumb with his gifted Thorim hammer. The bone was broken and now he's been put on like work duty about the forge but both Korgig and he seem to be ignoring that order so long as they think they won't call down the wrath of Jaeva on them. Well that's Muuran's thinking anyway.
❏ News from the southern patrols lead by Nataka have brought news of a foul wind and a hyena that has taken to killing without eating. It is expected to be a risen undead or sickly abomination. Kanatu, more willing to smite first and ask questions later when it comes to the mindless undead and plagued beasts has called for as many people as are willing to travel south with him and root out the corruption. Having fitted everyone with thick leather on just about every part of their person that they could muster they group took wing that morning and have been flying for several hours towards the supposed sighting.
03/06/2020
❏ Mahala is seen with her new companion, Benedict the chicken, at almost all times now. They rarely leave each other’s sides unless Mahala needs to fly somewhere far. Mahala has spent quite a bit of time resting since her recent injuries took a great toll on her, and can be seen carving pieces of bones and wood to the best of her abilities. Upon returning from Shadowprey village, she was very pleased to find out that her tent had been finished, and wasted no time moving in and making a little nest for her newfound friend.
❏ Returning from their visit and harrowing experience at Shadowprey Village has deeply disturbed Grymdel. That night he dreams of his time in Zandalar, and the perverse terror unleashed by the Blood Trolls in service to their Old One god, G’huun. Those events culminated in the death of the King whom he had come to respect, the destruction of the Loa, Rezan and a near collapse of an empire. The dreams were made all the more horrifying for the malevolent clucking of demonic chickens that permeated his innermost thoughts. The next day Grymdel rose early and went down into the glade, finding a quiet spot where he could meditate and commune with the Earth Mother. Azeroth was under siege and dying, he could feel it and see it everywhere he travelled. Despite all the wars and sacrifices, the force of Light and Shadow were engaged in a never-ending battle and innocents everywhere were collateral damage. Silently he made a vow. No matter the cost to himself, he would help the Skyrunners thrive and do what he could to keep the darkness at bay. A storm was coming, and he intended to be ready.
❏ Gordrik had spent much of his time while in the village following Dakoda around like a lost duckling, sticking to his heels and trying to keep himself out of trouble. After the trip to the beach however, he has been in a far worse mood. Mumbling about sand that may or may not be on him, he has been keeping up with whatever tasks Kanatu has set upon him. The boy seems to be trying to make a good impression. When he isn't helping the Chieftain, he can be found gazing into the water deep in thought.
03/09/2020
❏ Since making his way to to the village, Orothwas slept through the exhaustion into the afternoon the next day. When he finally woke up, he spoke to no one and perched himself on a high point in the village overlooking the Kodo graveyard where he contemplated the message he had received from the spirits weeks before, and what to do now that he had arrived in his end destination in a village he had not known existed prior to his departure.
❏ With a bit of a lighter step, Gordrik had been seen around town in a much happier mood then before. Now if this was due to the nearly completed pond, his talk with the Chieftain or the news that Koza would soon be returning was near impossible to determine. More then likely, it was all of these factors that were leading to his brighter mood. He could be seen tending to Cloudjumper, who was seemingly quite distressed despite the boy's less then perfect ways of soothing her which included roughly tugging on her ears and wings.
❏ Mahala has been seen around the village working on her necklaces of binding, and just recently can be seen walking around working on the nearly finished product. It seems as if she's missing an important piece of her finished work, and seems to be asking where Aja'it is. Despite her obvious intentions to take the Judgement of the Wyverns, Mahala has made no move to prepare belongings for the journey, however, she has been seen asking Nataka Longhorn to accompany her on her journey as a witness.
❏ Kamiri has been going out late at night with her large pet frog, Bab'wa. The frog seems to be getting bigger every day. Soon it won't be able to fit in her tent.
❏ Enyetof has been seen disappearing into his hut with the remains of the talismans the group recovered. The druid seems to be trying to learn all he can about the talismans, though to what purpose seems unclear at the moment.
❏ Jaeva had returned to the tribe with good and bad news from her visit to meet up with Khan Kammah. The meeting was heated, though in the nick of time, the healer was able to dissolve the Khan's stresses to agree to peace among the Clan and to receive a map of Maraudon. Though the price of the peace, if broken, is her life. Though she is recovering from her illness and seems to be in a better mood than usual, if that's even possible. Fellow tribesmen can note she's a little lost in thought more often than not, zoning out in her free time and smiling to herself as she goes about her daily routines.
❏ Iko has been seen hanging around her newly-completed kodo skull house and ensuring her remaining beasts (the vultures) are set into a proper, much larger, cage just outside the home. They have a lovely awning, a large petrified log, and enough room to really stretch their wings. It seems like she might simply be resigned to training these birds herself. When not in her home, she can be found carrying around an obsidian shard and smoothing out the jagged edges with her knife. She's also been making regular trips out into the desert and coming back with a variety of shinies and treasures-- namely junk upon first glance. After her talk with Kanatu in Shadowprey Village, she seems much more active and moving around as she prepares for what looks like a long journey. Whatever sickness she contracted a few nights prior has been burned out of her system by that hyperactive foxy metabolism! Hinjen can sense something in the wind and the change in Iko's demeanor. He's been antsy, but not aggressively so. Iko has been letting him roam the immediate boneyards freely, though he doesn't stray too far.
❏ Korgig was hard at work on the leg. Well, he was working on sketching it out so far. He hadn't made a test prototype as of yet. He reviewed the sketches with Koza before her departure for her rite of the flying cat that he didn't quite understand. Along with the conversation the two had discussed him possibly creating something to guard her knuckles during combat upon her return and if she gathered the necessary materials. There has been talk around the village regarding the smith's possible departure once he finishes a couple projects though there is no specific date or number of projects among the rumors. Some have two he had two projects, Muuran, the apprentice is under the impression that the number is closer to fifty.
❏ Having finally told the truth regarding the father of Huntha to Aja'it, she seems to have had a weight lifted from her. Twelve years of keeping such a secret can take a toll on a troll. Though now that it's out in the open, she has been speaking more about a journey to some jungle to meet a loa. She has yet to discuss such a trip with Kanatu officially, though she has told Aja'it that it is on her to-do list once other things are in place.❏ Dakoda has worked hard over the past week to finish out the pond for Koza. Working nearly through the night on the carving of the runes to complete the binding magic. And most recently he has been seen carrying a bucket back and forth from the Spring to the very large hole to fill it. Though thankfully no one seems to be letting him work alone as whenever the tribesman have the time they can be seen helping fill the pond up by hand. Whenever the offer of magic was given he flat out refused, saying that the labor put into the task was just as important as the result. ❏ Narv has continued to stay close to his hut working quietly on any hide that is brought in from the hunt, in this case, the hide from the huge basilisk. As he works he seems slow about it but far less grumpy when interrupted. At least by some people like Mahala.
❏ The group that had left for Uldum has sent word through a messenger bird that they arrived in Rahmkahen and have delivered the supplies. There’s little personal information or news about what is going on there but at least the Tribe knows that the four of them are safe at the moment.
❏ There appears to be a sinister air about the cold lately among the village. The winter crops, chosen specifically to withstand the cold, are starting to wilt and turn brown. Even some of the kodo have turned up feeling less than great. It seems to just be the cold snap of winter’s grip trying to maintain control and little else.
❏ With the Spring season coming Kanatu has asked for some scouting trips to Mulgore for Plainstriders and for Nataka to gather up some folks to go fishing. The Feast of Change is fast approaching and he intends to move forward with it despite anything going on within the tribe at the moment. Honor to the Earthmother must come first.
❏ The young wyvern cubs, including the little runt, seem to be fairing well against the chill of winter and are starting to run around with harness like saddles on their backs to get comfortable with as they move about the village in a small pack. They are roughly the size of overgrown housecats now.
❏ Kanatu has, as usual, been seen doing work about the village though the work is considerably less than what it used to be. With the sudden influx of free time Kanatu can be seen working on his artwork as he looks out over the Kodo Graveyard, working more and more with Huntha on shamanistic training, and in general relaxing. Even if it was just for moments. Still, he looks as tired as ever as if he were not getting enough sleep.
03/13/2020
❏ Venzolo has continued to relentlessly mooch off the tribe whenever he can get away with it and readily takes anything that is even hinted at being up for sharing. Though the amount of stuff he has collected could not all fit in the two packs he has with him so it stands to reason the Goblin has already made a hidden stash somewhere though he has hidden it well. Venzolo also seems to lack any sort of sense about personal space and several tribe members have come into their huts to find Venzolo sacked out sleeping there already. Which would provoke varying degrees of reactions. He spends most of his time around the Forge and while he is not nearly as good at shaping armor and weapons as Korgig he clearly knows his way around an anvil and has crafted some small doodads that seem to serve no real purpose. He continues to pester anyone who will tolerate him for any amount of time though the only one he seems to keep his distance from is Koza after she tried to kill him after the last meeting at the fighting pit.
❏ Enyetof has spent the last few nights working furiously. The druid has been seen collecting various things around the village, especially around the pond. He seems oblivious to anyone who questions him, though whether that is because of his intense focus or lack of sleep is up to interpretation.
❏ Dakoda's leg: The orc had been toiling away in the forge, even after the ordeal with the illness that was moving through the village. He and Koza had finished the false leg Kanatu had commissioned. There was a leather strap to be used to secure it to its wearer's stump and keep it in place. The two hinges, one at the knee and one at the ankle, would allow it to be flexible but the joints were restricted in their design so the device wouldn't overextend at the joint. The hoof was no hoof at all, instead it was shaped very much like the bare foot of an orc. It seemed Korgig had trouble figured out how tauren legs worked and decided to mimic his own. There were three long spikes affixed above the knee and facing forward to be used as a weapon should the need arise. Beyond this, there were orcish runes carved into the thigh which spelled out the word, "Trk'hsk." Sadly, fine oil was difficult to come by, and the hinges would cause a loud squeaking sound whenever the limb was manipulated. The leg would have been wrapped in a heavy cloth and given to one of the young tauren working the forge to be delivered to Kanatu's chambers. Korgig did not have time to deliver it himself as he had spent the following day helping Muuran load up the wyverns for a trip. There were rumors floating around that he was off to seek out victories, or to return to Draenor, or hunt down the fel that brought the plague to the village. It was hard to tell which rumor to believe. Especially when the Mag'har was the one starting them.
❏ Iko has officially traveled out of the village, carrying only the necklaces and an empty satchel slung across her back. Her shock-staff she's using as a hiking stick and she seemed in good spirits as she headed out of the village and down the dusty road with Kireena following behind astride a wyvern. Hinjen has been left behind, chained up on a long lead so he could patrol freely around their shared skull house while she's gone. If any attacks should come to pass, he's under strict orders to defend the tribe-- so long as someone remembers to unchain him, first.
❏ As Mahala had left to do her rights, Jaeva had taken on the task of house sitting for Mahala and giving Enyetof breaks from handling Benedict. Jaeva has tidied up Mahala's living space, and is seen working on little decoration projects here and there around the village, seemed to be some sort of decorative streamers upon closer inspection. As Jaeva takes Benedict out on morning walks with her, she seems to be teaching him tricks here and there, if she's not chasing him down to take back what he might have stolen from another member of the village. Since the recent mishaps with the plague, Jaeva's attitude overall is rather sullen, though she denies it and swears up and down that she's doing fine. Those close to her are able to tell she's emotionally hurting as a result of all the unfortunate circumstances.
❏ Koza has taken to following the orders given to her despite her illness and her mourning, often working patrols and keeping watch early in the morning and late into the evening. In between these patrols, she's spent time flying with Cloudjumper as practice and going out on solo trips out into the wilds. If asked why she was taking these trips, she'd simply say she was collecting materials and leave it at that.
❏ With the most recent events impacting the village and the clear and present danger of dark magics being used, Grymdel starts to spend some extra time each day patrolling the local area, being on the lookout for similar fetishes, signs of sabotage or any other threats. At sunrise and sunset, he takes the time to commune with the Earthmother and consecrates the ground, in the hopes that by doing so, he can help safeguard against further corruption. In this regard, he plans to make a journey back to the Crossroads and consult with his mentor, Lonaki and perhaps other Sunwalkers to see if they too are encountering threats or possibly have ideas and solutions.
❏ With the sickness starting within the village Kanatu has ordered several precautions to try and mitigate the spread. Food rationing has started. Not terribly tight but portions are being controlled. All food has also been sectioned off and removed from open air contact by Harnor.
❏ Dehokon has been tasked with getting clean water every other day. He leads the healthy kodo up to the lake and fills barrels with the clean waters before coming home with them. Without the spring, who's keystone was corrupted, and without both Koza's and Jaeva's ponds which also suffered the same fate, the trips every other day are the only source of water within the village.
❏ after returning from Uldum Winona and Dasota seems to be very quiet. They follow Koza's orders for patrols and guard duty without question with Nataka gone. Dasota in particular seems to be taking a leaf out of Dakoda's book and being much less social.
❏ Dakoda has been seen making a few visits to Kanatu in the first hours of night. The day following the outbreak in the village the bull could be seen lingering nervously around Enyetof's hut, trying to get ahold of him no doubt.
❏ Aja'it has been thrown into a rage after returning from a hunt to find Huntha taken I'll and stashed away in the healing room like a sack of potatoes. He probably would have had more to say of Wal'ami hadn't told him to wait a while and let her handle it. Aja'it snarled and stomped his clawed feet but he eventually went and paced around outside until he could see the boy.
❏ Kanatu has also asked for a meeting of… well what was basically parents. Koza, Grymdel, and Wal'ami have been called to his hut to discuss the children.
03/23/2020
❏ With the madness of the last night behind him, Grymdel wakes to check on Dehokan and Takata, ensuring for himself that they will be all right at least in the immediate future. With this done, Grymdel resolves that it is indeed time to travel to see his mentor, Lonaki at the Crossroads to consult with the Sunwalker as to how best to tackle the issues at hand. He had delayed his departure out of concern for the tribe, but with this latest round of troubles, he can delay no longer.
❏ Korgig: Having traveled with Muuran to Thunderbluff before taking a portal to Orgrimmar on his way back to Draenor. There has been no communication with the orc. Upon his return, Muuran has not been in the best of spirits, though the hammers at the forge continue their assault on the anvils.
❏ The Darkspear has spent her time among the sick, trying to understand its origins. Most of her focus has been on Huntha’s case and she has been heard cursing the plague. She did welcome a new visitor to the village. A Tauren by the name of Ayashe who is an accomplished warrior in the Horde military. She plans to review the new visitor with Kanatu the next time they meet.
❏ Okunn has been hard at work in the village helping the sick, clearing mushrooms from the greenhouse, and doing as much research as he can to try and help Enyetof decipher the plague that has gripped the village. While he hasn’t been able to spend too much time on the mystery due to his duties and the tribe's other troubles, he has found several plants within the greenhouse that seem to be at least somewhat resistant. However, he hopes that the matter will be sorted out sooner rather than later as discerning why the plants have the resistance and finding a way to harness this to benefit the tribe could take a very long time and he hopes the plague will be lifted from the tribe long before then.
❏ Venzolo has been trying to stay away from the plague-ridden village as much as possible often keeping to himself and even camping outside of the village proper to avoid the sick. He has made no attempt to offer assistance to the tribe and only occasionally comes into the village during meals. He has also been seen that after every interaction with the sick he immediately bathes afterwards.
❏ Kamiri continues to struggle to tame the large Bab'wa. She has been seen attempting to ride the beast, but is rarely able to hold on for longer than a minute. Late at night a faint, croaky melody can be heard near the Northern edge of the village. She has definitely improved with her flute since she was first gifted it.
❏ Everyone's favorite giant white idiot Texas has been keeping to himself and trying to meditate on the Earth ever since the morning of the fog. He's been trying to burn off steam, too-- mostly that, honestly, and he takes it out with loud thunderclaps often heard just outside of the village. It seems like he's honing his attunement with lightning.
❏ Hinjen has been sick by himself out in Iko's hut. Poor little guy. He has enough strength to consume a mana gem or two from the bowl Iko left him before collapsing back in the rear of the skull-hut.
❏ With any free time the orc can spare, Dursk has been seen carefully unloading his trade goods into their proper destinations requested by Kireena. With that done, Dursk bounces between tending the forge, doing leatherworking side projects or tailoring and mending anything the tribe needs as of late.
❏ Jaeva is seen going about her daily routines and tending to those that are ill. In her free time she has been overlooking the glade in one of her many meditative locations among the village, though she has a certain distant and bothered look in her eye, very unlike her usual self. The rationing of food has her looking a bit thinner in the face, and her body more wirey, very little fat content on her form though her exercising has denied her of becoming weak so that she may properly lift patients. When among others, she maintains her warm, good-natured personality, though on her lonesome, she appears quite sad.
❏ Still quite ill, the orc has been listening to Chieftain's orders for the most part and staying within the healing area of the main hut, which was most of the hut by this point, with Dakoda and the other ill. When no one is looking and she has a bit of strength, she has been known to sneak out of the healing area to either check on the progress of patrols or sit on the ledge of rocks the overlook the Glade with Cloudjumper. She is aware most of the things she'd seen and heard weren't real, but they still seem to weigh heavily on the Orc's mind.
❏ Dakoda has been working hard to relearn how to walk. It’s not an easy process or one that is very pleasant but he has been seen taking small trips around the healing room without his crutch. Though being sick doesn’t help matters at all.
❏ Narv’s condition seems to be the worst of everyone’s. He often sleeps, helped along by medicins that heavily encourage sleep, but when he is not sleeping he often mumbles and cries. He’s taken to identifying specific tribesman with people from his past including his mate, his parents, siblings, his son, and an apprentice. For the most part these fever talks are nothing meaningful but he has expressed a deep rooted feeling of failure for his apprentice in that she died under his watch and that he hadn’t been able to find someone else to take under his wing. He’s also told multiple people under the hallucinations that he wishes he could serve Kanatu better but that he can feel his life slipping away.
❏ Everyone who has been sick has gradually gotten worse over the last several days as Enyetof and the others try to puzzle out where the threat is coming from. Hallucinations, high fevers, and continued lack of sleep brought on by the charmed critters that have invaded the camp are all taking their toll. Even those that had previously avoided the sickness are now showing symptoms.
❏ Kanatu has been working just as hard as everyone else, trying to avoid looking sick as much as he tries to avoid the reproachful telling off’s given by Jaeva whenever she catches him doing more than his condition allows. He’s so far been quiet about what his visions show him but it is clear that the rationing of food and the lack of sleep have taken their toll more than most others. He’s quite thin and falls asleep at random only to be woken by the pesky fawn at his hip.
❏ Aja’it has sent a check in. He, and the three children are well away from the tribe in an unlisted location. Once they were away from the village lands Huntha’s symptoms did not worsen and over time he has recovered. Clean bodies of striders, swoops, hyena, and basilisk make their way to the Tribe every few days on the backs of wyverns from his hunting. He reports that the boys, though at first wanted to kill one another and he them, have turned out to be helpful. Kanatu has shared with all the ‘parents’ that the kids are still safe at least.
03/27/2020
❏ With the village slowly on the mend and the tribe’s celebration of Iko’s judgment of the Wyverns, Gyrmdel found himself for the first time in a while feeling more at ease. The tribe had passed through a crucible and emerged upon the other side and it felt to him like the ties of family and loyalty were being cemented and built upon, something that was much needed given the tragic history of the tribe. With this idea of rebuilding in mind, Grymdel spent the coming week looking around the village and speaking with the people to get a sense of what was needed as far as supplies be they food stores, medical supplies, construction materials, etc. Once he had compiled a list, his plan was to head to the Crossroads where he could trade for the things they needed, gather news and reconnect with old friends and his mentor and foster father, Lonaki. After which, he could lead a caravan back to the village.
❏ Enyetof has been dividing his time between checking in on those recovering, working with the wyverns, and restoring the village. In the little downtime he has given himself, Enyetof seems to be trying to find an opportunity to speak with Jaeva.
❏ Iko has returned! Triumphantly! She has bonded with an albino, deaf wyvern named Akee'Awak and seems thrilled at the challenges ahead of her. But she knows now where she stands in this tribe and in the Earthmother's embrace as a whole, and feels ready to tackle whatever may come next. But first, she needs several long sleeps in a good warm hammock. Hinjen, of course, is never far from her heels. He was so worried about her! ❏ Texas has been begrudgingly offering help around the village in the wake of the plague being shifted. Any lumber that needs chopping or rocks that need breaking, and he's your big tauren for the job. At night, he's taking care of Hotah in his recovery and walking with him to the rookery to attend to the wyvern chores.
❏ Now that Kireena and Iko we’re back from Iko’s Judgement and the village was no longer under threat of mysterious illnesses, it was time for Dursk to get packing. He had a few last minute things to do, including cleaning the forge and making sure everything was proper, finishing up some last minute favours for the tribe and saying his goodbyes within the last few days of his stay.
❏ Since the Tribe has returned from watching Iko's rite of the wyverns, Jaeva is hurriedly getting supplies from Kireena and doing little crafts here and there. She can be seen popping in and out of Mahala's hut, carrying hand made decorations for her personal welcome back party. She even managed to put a hat on Benedict to see if he would tolerate it.
❏ With Enytof skillfully dispelling the plague from the village the crops have started to grow back again and the animals are slowly recovering. Determining that it was once again safe upon their return from witnessing Iko’s Judgement of the Wyverns the quarantine of the sick and the food rationing has been stopped.
❏ Dehokon and Narv are both still in recovery. The sickness took a very big toll on the elder tauren and he still remains somewhat sickly. Additionally his hallucinations have brought a great deal of shame to the leatherworker and he refuses to talk to most people unless they are persistent. For Dehokon his wounds to the throat, while serious and nearly life ending, have been healed by Jaeva and Enyetof. He’s even starting to speak again though it sounds as if he has wool stuck in his throat and it pains him a great deal to try.
❏ with the sickness ended Kanatu looks now to recover and move forward. As a result, and due to several people, including the spirits of the former Chieftains, he has announced that the Feast of Change will take place soon as a celebration of spring arriving and their health. A hunt is being planned as well as a day near the beach for fishing up the necessary meat. Additionally he’s given leave for Vul’mon to organize a day trip up the valley to the waterfalls for people to enjoy. Even Jaeva’s surprise welcome home party for Iko is being given extra attention by the Chieftain.
❏ The Chieftain has also called for Venzolo to report to him as soon as possible to discuss the contract he spoke of on the way home from the Judgement.
03/31/2020
❏ With the threat of the plague gone from the village, Enyetof has been taking the time to attend to some personal matters. He has started assisting Jaeva with plans for Mahala's return, and seems to once again be a familiar face around the village. The Plagueshifter seems in high spirits, and seems to be working on a project of his own design. Unusually for him, he is far from secretive about it, and has shown off the progress on his new idol when asked
❏ .Grymdel found it hard to imagine that just a short while ago things had looked rather bleak and desperate for the tribe. But with the sickness receding and the curse lifted, the resilience of the Skyrunners was proving that when a tribe has strong ties of loyalty, they can not only overcome challenges, but rebound from adversity together. Following the hand-to-hand contests the night before and the induction of Koza into the tribe, he spent the week making his final preparations for the trip to the Crossroads. Ore was needed for the smiths, cured leathers for clothing, bandage cloth and more. In short order, he had a long list of things that would be needed. In addition, Grym began looking for a suitable place to being building his own dwelling. Somewhere that could double as a place of rest and communion with the Earthmother.
❏ Vul is currently preparing for a ritual his people do in Zul’farrak away from the village. Some might see him conversing with the chief a bit who is the only one who knows this somewhat. Spending time with Rakash afterwords the Troll his strangely silent after succeeding in the trial of the closed fist.
❏ It was time for Dursk to leave the village. The forge was clean, business was settled with the tribe, and the clothes Koza asked him to mend were finished. He made his rounds about the village to say his goodbyes, but by mid-day he was gone with his kodo.
❏ Iko has been working with Akee'Awak in teaching her basic commands, so to speak. Essentially, she's teaching her language. It is slow going, but at least Iko hasn't been eaten yet. Hinjen has been hanging around, seemingly to try and ensure Akee'Awak grows accustomed to his presence so the trio can work in harmony. Whether this is by Iko's command or the demon's own design is anyone's guess. ❏ Texas has been sticking with Hotah and cleaning up the rookery. The pair have quite a bit of catching up to do, and Texas desperately needed some filling in. It also keeps him out of trouble and starting fights.
❏ Venzolo had been considering leaving the tribe now that his injuries had healed and he had some gold. But his tune changed very quickly after the Cheiftain approached him with a contract to build the tribe a sky ship. Venzolo was a bit hesitant to accept at first unconvinced that the tribe had the resources to complete such a project. But after assurances from Kanatu he eventually did agree to be the lead engineer on the project. However, that wasn't all the goblin wanted. In a surprise twist the goblin actually sought to become part of the Skyrunner tribe. It may be that his schemes may be grander than just a lucrative engineering contract. But regardless of what his grand designs are he has now begun preparations and planning for the construction of the Sky ship. He will also soon take the first step in becoming part of the tribe to everyone's delight he is sure.
❏ .Koza has spent the time after her little fighting ring and receiving her feather preparing to leave for Mahala's trial and what would follow afterwards. Her extra garments were fixed and packed away for whenever they were needed again. The only added difficulty to this relatively simple task was the large wolf that had made himself at home. He had claimed most, if not everything, in the hut as his own. He chewed on cushions, took whatever food he could nose his way into and even claimed the orc's bed as his own. Not one to be outdone by an animal, Koza refuses to be beaten and has learned to adapt. Even if that meant her place of sleeping was reduced to a small sliver of bedding between the wolf's back and the wall. She has also been seen looking for Iko begrudgingly.
❏ Gordrik has been in a noticeably nervous state of mind as something seemed to weigh heavily on his mind. He too was preparing to leave, which seemed strange as he wasn't usually brought along to many things. As for the situation at home, this was the only thing that bought the boy a great deal of amusement at the time. The boy was pleased that it was Koza who handled the food and lived in the main portion of the hut, allowing him to close his door and safely barricade himself within his room to chuckle to himself at the muffled yelling from the other room.❏ With Aja’it and the younglings back in the village Wal’ami hasn’t been seen leaving her hut for much aside from retrieving food and retreating back indoors. She did venture out to the trial of the closed fist, wishing to see the combat prowess of the tribe for reasons unspoken. She had made mention of a trip planned, but didn’t expound any further on the thought.
❏ Shadow: The wolf has been seen wandering around the village without Korgig. He has split his time between getting into mischief and taking over Koza’s domicile. It seemed one orc was better than no orc with his companion currently missing.
❏ With the tribe off to witness Mahala’s Judgement, there seems to be a calm and rather hopeful air to the tribe as a whole. With things getting back to normal day to day life for everyone after the sickness. It’s nice and quiet in the first parts of spring for them and the weather has remained calm as well.
❏ Two round-bellied wyverns are expected to lay their eggs soon. With the promise of two new and healthy clutches when they return from Orgrimmar Kanatu is more than pleased. The sickness could have easily corrupted the eggs before they were laid by the mothers but at the moment nothing of the kind is suspected.
❏ Among other gifts of spring, the three eggs brought back by Jaeva and Mahala from their Blooded Feather Hunt have hatched at last. Under the care of Aja’it and Huntha, the three chicks seem healthy as well if not overly ugly. Who knew that plainstrider babies were completely scaleless and featherless?
❏ With the extra bodies headed to Orgrimmar for an extended period of time, the village has taken extra precautions to ensure that it is safe but they are a little handicapped. The injuries among the tribe seem to have gone up considerably at the moment. Not only is Dakoda still learning to walk with his new leg, and Dehokon still recovering from the wounds to his neck, and Narv just now getting back to his hooves, Winona can be added to the list of those who are not at 100%. She looks extremely tired and is having trouble remembering things or focusing it seems. Though she won’t tell anyone why right now.
