[center][b][u]Snow Brutes[/u] Era of Dud's Great Tribe Population: 251 in Village, 24 going South, 1 left of Eastern Group[/b] Faw watches the Platta produce strange noises and point to objects. She thinks about what this could mean for a moment before it finally clicks: the creature is teaching her how to speak in their noises! She used the same technique on her youth back home. She slowly repeats the words, even learning that the creatures are called Platta. When it points to her she just stares, startled for a few moments before it dawns on her that the other creature wants to know what her kind is called. "Snow Brute.", croaks out of her throat. Faw figures that they might want to know why she was in their territory. So, she acts out the big brown creature that chased her, mocking its growling and pointing at the brown dirt. Then she imitates her fall before her stomach growls very loudly. "F-foood" the Brute stammers out in the Platta language. [@Aweirdgamer] The Southern group lowers their weapons as the weird creatures do. The group watches as one of them produces several noises out of its mouth. "What in Jek is a 'Cindoerrie'?" Fro asks aloud from behind the Brute wall. "Maybe... It is Cindoerrie", one of the tool makers suggests. After a minute of debate the group agrees that this is probably the case. So when the creature points at them, it is quickly deduced that they want to know what the group was. Hof proudly says, "Snow Brute." [@Mihndar] Back at the village a new thing is created. Rog has come up with a new tool and even weapon. A straight, strong stick ending with, instead of a sharp stone like an axe, a rock that had been flattened on both sides. They could come in big or small sizes. They are found useful in creating new huts and in combat. Dud dubs them "hammers"[/center]
