@Tek, Turn 3.7

Such a large creature (nay, such a large monster) can be seen and heard approaching a Sume village for quite some time, and by and large when Tek enters a village he finds that its residents have, or are in the process of running the boop away. Occasionally one of the braver hunters would chance to speak to it, though always from a distance. Tek spreads the word, but he's pretty sure the Sume don't trust him very much.

((Tek believes that this response was due both to his monstrous appearance and to his monstrous size-- since the Sume are not completely on the top of the food chain, they have well-ingrained flight responses))

@Ardannis, Turn 3.7

OOC: Glossing over is fine.

Ardannis has considerably more success than Tek, and it appears that the Sume would be happy to attend this sort of event (if Ardannis can stand all the pidgin). He has a great deal of trouble explaining a location to them; eventually, it becomes clear that a general direction and "look for large fires" is about all they'll readily understand. They like the sound of prizes, and pretty much every village has at least one gasbag with a Theory about Everything, so it looks like the contest will have plenty of subject matter.

@Awlruts, 3.3 Northernmost i22

The Sume are nonplussed by the appearance of Awlruts, who looks like yet another maimed Sume. She gathers a bit of a crowd, who look at her expectantly.
