At about 16:45 Zivka, Ed and the diplomatic cor head out to find the gate they are supposed to meet at. The diplomats attempt to take the lead in this but admit they don’t really know what to look for. Fortunately the gate is where the animal tracks went in and there is a young man waiting for them. Obviously the young man easily recognizes the people from Earth and immediately runs to meet the group.
Like Zivka saw before The residential towers themselves are white except for on the lowest level and around window openings where they are painted with bright blue and yellow patterns.
Higher up there are large colorful banners that hang from the windows like the faded ones in the other city block except these are new and readable. The banners have a family name along with their occupation and then a list of short phrases like “Loc’s servant”, “Strong man”, and “Hearer” on one. With “Loc’s servant”, “Loyal”, and “Good” on another. “Founder”, “Loyal”, “Man of Loc” and “Rememberer” on another.
Inside the first floor of most of the buildings the players can see Pettok or Berem. The entrances are roped off with what may be electrified cable.
The young man leads the group into the town. Inside the “gate” is a standard city block structure but it is inhabited. Several young men are busy cleaning up the mud and droppings of animals that were on the ground when the convoy originally came in. They are also ordering around a large man with light gray skin. He is picking up large baskets full of mud and dung that look like they should weigh more than a hundred kilograms and he is lifting them easily and loading them into a cart.
Any questions or actions?
