S17: Language barrier Report

General Summary

Led to the Kaadur settlements leader, they find the missing crystal suspended in the rooms ceiling. They tried their best at communicating with the leader through drawings and gestures, seemingly agreeing to raiding a nearby Ucellan town. Feyra managed to earn his respect by sharing in some Raybark and Sannish together. She and eventually Kido was trusted to meet the settlements druid. The druid lets Feyra know that they keep prisoners for entertainment, how to ask for escorts for the evening and also some details to where this attack is going to take place. The druid doesn't know any specifics about the crystal. The group share a Kaadur meal, and agrees to meeting the prisoners. As evening comes they get to know those they can talk to amongst the prisoners a bit more and try to devise a plan to break them out. They share some wine and in some cases a bed. As morning comes the prisoners have left, and the Sending from Thief arrives:
"This is Thief to Cavalier. Report your situation. Is it functional? Where are you? Schatran base? We hope that you are safe."
Answered with: "Homeless rise, Kaduur city raiding Arakzinb. Have crystal from ruin. Have slaves. Relations civil for now. Not functional. Advice course of action. Rose miss you."
