[hider=On the Continent] Aderyn was pleased that the “Ards” did not wish to fight. Their initial reaction had been sensible enough, what with how short they were compared to the Cewri. But, if neither side wanted to fight, that begged the question: What now? After taking a second to think, he had settled on something. They could just leave the Ards to their own business, and continue exploring the Continent, but the Ards were already established on the continent. Aderyn was no diplomat, but he figured that the Ards could make things rather difficult for them when they eventually had to expand off of the island. By that same token, if they established good relations with the Ards, their knowledge of the landscape would be useful, and they could engage in that all-but-forgotten practice of “trade.” So Aderyn did not just leave. Instead, he called forward Gethar. Gethar was the greatest hunter amongst the Cewri on the continent, and had caught a large buck earlier that day. Even as large as they were, the buck was much more than the Cewri could eat in a single night. Gethar had already skinned and smoked the meat, and Aderyn turned back to the Ards, “[u]We catch meat in this land. Much meat. Want share, make friend. Yes?[/u]” [/hider] [hider=Summary] I)Take Diplomatic Action: Offer a shared meal to the Ard Lumberjacks. [/hider]
