Can I take invisibility? I'm not sure if it would be a little too OP.
I don't think I can keep up with you guys anymore. I just haven't felt in the mood to sit down and write for a long while. I've been busy with other things, and I just don't feel creative enough. I think maybe I just need some time to refuel my brain. So, sorry guys, I'll have to drop this one and take a break from the guild for a while.
Wh-Uh... Hm.

Are the Snow Brutes the only atheist nation? I do have plans for their religion but nothing that's going to happen now.


Saurians have not yet developed the concept of a deity. I also forgot.

They have a few beliefs and they have an idea of honor, but nothing's set in stone.

Sithel glanced back at the others with excitement. It seemed to have worked. The creature in front repeated a similar gesture to its own people and spoke another word. He felt certain that the two species had successfully introduced each other. Some of the others saurians whispered the word back and forth.

"Sithel, perhaps it is not a good idea to attempt conversation with these things..." One of the saurians mumbled.

Sithel looked at him confused. "Why not?"

"They could be dangerous. They aren't animals, but they aren't saurians. Who knows what alien thoughts go through their mind..."

Sithel frowned. "Don't you think they would have attacked us by now if they had ill-intent? They revealed themselves without a surprise attack and even left us fish."

The saurian didn't reply. He merely turned back to the creatures and continued watching them suspiciously.

Sithel sighed and turned his attention back to them. He needed to think of another thing he might be able to communicate that they would understand.

After taking some time to think about it, Sithel finally gestured towards his hunters again and said "Saurians." He then turned and pointed his hand towards the direction they had come from. "Village," He then said. He had no idea how they would interpret this, but it was a mostly simple gesture. It was still possible they would understand it as they did earlier.

At this, however, there were protests from the other saurians.

"Now you tell them where our village is?!" The saurian spoke up again.

Sithel hissed at him. "If you're so terrified of them, go back to the village by yourself!"

"I will!" yelled the Saurian. He hefted his spear and turned to storm off into the trees. Another saurian gave Sithel a worried expression then left as well.

Sithel looked at the remaining four hunters. There was a moment of silence before one stepped forward and bowed his head, both of his fists on his heart. "I will remain loyal, Sithel. I shall stay." The three others looked at the saurian then seemingly reluctantly saluted to Sithel.

Sithel bowed his head in return. "Thank you."

"-And that is all. What you should be doing right now, however, is planning to build your soon-to-come-family a cabin," Said Sithalin.

Senith scratched his fin, confused. "What of Syera's hut?"

Sithalin sighed in frustration. A couple of hours earlier, he had sat down with Senith to give him a long talk to explain things he needed to know. Up to this point, every youngster figured it out by themselves. Senith had mostly done so already, but Sithalin had his reasons to explain certain things to him.

"You can't move into her hut! And, do not forget, it has not been reconstructed yet. It's small and weak."

"I see..." Senith mumbled.

Sithalin patted his shoulder kindly. "Do not worry, it will not be that difficult, what you did was natural at a time like this. You will be able to handle the situation, but you must learn to grow up, son."

Senith nodded. "Thank you, father. I'll try."

Sithalin smiled. "Go now, start making plans for your future."

Senith nodded again. He stood up and exited from the cabin without another word.

Sithalin shook his head sadly. He was worried for his son. It was too soon for Senith. Saurians as young as him starting families was not unheard of, in fact it was somewhat common, but Sithalin did not believe Senith was truly ready. He was willing to help him through this time, but he wasn't sure how much he could do. He could only hope Senith would learn in time.
@GhostWing
I think we have 10 people now. Do you think that will be enough (assuming most of them comeback)?
@WendigoRoss

That moment when you were considering using the exact same image.

@Aweirdgamer

I'm going to post soon, hopefully. Just can't get into the mood, and I lost a lot of progress at some point due to my own clumsiness.
It's back! I've been having trouble writing recently, but I can't say no to this.

@Aweirdgamer

Panic spread through the camp as the saurians spotted the strange creatures approaching. Many hissed in alarm and darted around the camp to grab their spears. Sithel courageously stepped in front of the rest and lifted his spear.

Sithel eyed the new creatures wearily. They were unlike anything they had ever seen before. They barely even resembled any of the other creatures they had encountered in the forests and swamps. Of course, what shocked him the most was their obvious intelligence. For how long had they been so close by? Could there be even more intelligent beings like the saurians?

Sithel lowered his spear slightly when he noticed the fish offering, but he didn't remove his yellow eyes from the creatures. He approached slowly and carefully until they were a few feet outside of spear range. The rest of the saurians watched quietly from the other side of the camp.

The creature towwlards the front then spoke a strange word. Sithel tilted his head in confusion. He sloy repeated the word back to them, unsure of its meaning.

Mutterings and whispers were exchanged between the rest of the saurians. As the scene seemed to be calming down, some of them cautiously stepping forward to get a closer look. A few of them eyed the fish offering but made no attempt to touch it. Most of them were simply waiting anxiously to see what else the creatures would do.

One of the saurians made a move towards the fish, but another hissed and dragged him back by the arm.

Not sure of what else to try, Sithel raised an arm and gestured at the rest of the saurians. "We," He said slowly, "are saurians. We are hunters."
He knew they wouldn't understand, but he didn't know how one would go about teaching someone a language. All he could do was hope that both sides would eventually figure it out.

As Sithalin made his way back to the village, a hunter came up beside him and stopped him.

"Chief, I just wanted to say sorry," The saurian explained.

"For what, hunter?" Sithalin asked.

"Because we failed to do as you asked. We didn't find the cause for the disappearance of the fish."

Sithalin sighed. "Hunter, I was there helping you and the others. I didn't find anything either. Its not your fault. This may simply be something we saurians won't be able to find. Anyway, there might be hope. That was the first fish in this area in a very long time."

The saurian nodded. "If you say so, chief." With a salute, the saurian turned and left.

Sithalin gave another sigh and continued making his way through the village until he arrived at the cabin. He stepped inside and tossed his spear aside. Feeling tired, he sat on top of his fur blanket, his back against the wall, and closed his eyes.

Some time later, he heard rustling and opened his eyes to see Senith coming in the cabin.

"Welcome back," Said Sithalin, "What have you been up to?"

Senith froze momentarily at the question, not replying. The more Sithalin looked at him, the more he realized how strange he was acting.

"I, uh..." Senith mumbled.

Sithalin sat up straighter and looked at him suspiciously. "Speak."

"I… S-Syera-" He tried to speaking but Sithalin quickly cut him off.

"Say no more," Sithalin grumbled. He sighed and rubbed his fin in frustration. "I thought you'd be smarter than this."

Senith simply stared at the ground in shame. "I swear I won't disappoint you further."

"Good," Sithalin replied. He sighed and leaned his head back against the wall, rubbing his eyes tiredly. "We'll talk about this more later. I'm feeling too tired right now."
I once stopped using a very crucial part of my brain and tried to peek into a public bathroom's stall to check whether it was empty.
