Moving from the pit, Vammy skirted the edges of the hole and around towards the black colored buildings in the distance. Yuisa merely scowled as she’d follow along. Deep, down, far in the pit they could see a circular platform covered in what seemed to be an old forest or garden, but there was no visible way to get down.
The buildings themselves proved just as enigmatic. The moment the two walked inside, they were met with a sickly sweet smell that assaulted their noses, Yuisa almost retching up whatever she had last eaten the smell was so repulsively intoxicating.
“What…is this smell - urgh.” Strangely, Vammy didn’t find it too offensive.
The room they found themselves now was a long hallway, various doors and rooms on either side. They seemed to be old storage rooms, or perhaps studies or other rooms meant for administrative purposes. Vines covered much of the floor, having seemingly broken through the floors below.
And at the far end, something scurried along the ground, moving deeper into the complex.

The interior of the building was grand indeed, and it seemed less of a townhall and more of a throne room. Against the far back wall sat a throne made of ornate carved wood, panted with golds and reds and inlaid with a few gems. Similarly colored tapestries flanked the throne, and its occupant? An equally impressive Yaga beast of a yaga male.
He was easily at least six and a half feet tall, is arms and much of his body was covered in serpentine tattoos and depictions of various other animal motifs. A large made of white hair covered his head, and a single ear was listening intently - the other seemed to have been cut off at some point, nothing more than a furry nub atop his head.
“You…” The general, seemed none to happy to see Lissa but was quickly cut off my Marushka.
“Mhm, are these the envoys you mentioned?” The rat lady smiled softly at Lissa as the Raam approached Jolca.
“Ah, yes yes, these are indeed. What are you doing here? This business is beneath one such as yourself.” The yaga woman tilted her head, still smiling as she’d greet the merchant in her own way.
“A pleasure to make your acquaintance too, miss Envoy.” Marushka approached Lissa with her usual affable demeanor. “I do apologize for the difficulties my subordinates gave you. I do hope you understand we meant no offense. I’m sure if you are an Envoy as this one claims, you do understand this is a matter of utmost importance, yes?”
“I do believe you were told to leave. The envoys have important matters to discuss with us.”
“I would hope,” Marushka replied. “That the Yaga do not forget who their comrades are. Gershel, with me.” With that, the Krysa left, and would speak not another word. The Yaga sitting on the throne motioned Lissa over.
“Sorry about that, traveler.” He gruffly replied. “Ever since that assassination attempt on one of their leaders or something, the Krysa have been cracking down on ‘suspicious individuals’. Apparently it was someone in a merchant caravan or something that is the culprit.”

As the mothraki approached, the impish vulpine turned her head towards the moth girl, sniffing the air and giving a happy yip as it bolted over, immediately snatching up the dried meat like the poor thing was starving and immediately made to devour it, all while. If there was ever any doubt about Nylah’s affiliations, the fox made the decision for Novak it seemed.
Heading back to Jolca’s hut wasn’t too difficult, though Novak would get a few odd looks from some passing Krysa and Yaga both, though after the scuffle earlier most Krysa were playing it on the safe side it seemed. Ayumi ran inside ahead of the two, cozying up next to the fire pit that was still going. Jolca wasn’t back yet, so for now the two were likely safe enough to discuss things.
“Back already, eh lass?” Eirhild asked as the fox ran over to where she was still sitting by the fire. “Oi, what is this little vermin doin’ here? And who’s the new friend?”

“P-pull it towards you!?” Raelzeth shouted, barely getting to her feet as she’d scramble away from Gideon and the rocky beast.
Its carapace was smooth, a natural set of armor formed from the deposits that had grown upon its body. Indeed, calling it a suit of natural plate armor was perhaps apt. The six legs had interlocking joints to allow movement while still having almost full protection. Its tail was similar, smooth and possessed several segments to allow for a more flowing movement.
The only weaknesses in this armor appeared to be two visible eyes on either side of its head, along with the gaps in the aforementioned armor. Its teeth circular maw though, didn’t seem particularly fleshy as far as his eyes themselves could tell…but this thing was organic. It was less rock and stone, and more of a beast that lived for so long that iron ore had formed naturally on its body.
Not knowing what else to do, Raelzeth quickly looked between Gideon and the beast, standing up and with a few warm up notes, and with a shaky voice, she began to sing.
The beast, that was already charging for him, lurched forwards rather jerkily and quickly towards Gideon, its maw large enough to swallow the Raam whole. Whatever he was going to do, he wasn’t going to have much time to do so.
