(ooc: or the magic bag, forgot about that, lol)

"Let us take the head of the biggest of these creatures in the Bag of Holding. That should be a nice surprise when we pull it out to show the natives"

So after you take the biggest head you're continuing on?

Once they're done "Lets go" Tempe says not wanting to interrupt the tempo and follows 

Randall:

Once the trophy is properly situated, Randall holds his mace up high to light the way and starts moving forward, though as before he allows the stealthier ones to move ahead in the dark should they wish.

Bow walks next to Randall

"So what do you think is gonna happen with the natives? And how far along will the camp be when we get back?"

Zenodor will send Irraxan ahead, invisible as usual, to scout ahead and try to find the exit - and then the village.

Randall:

”That I don’t know, Bow, but I do have the spell ready to allow me to talk with them.  I haven’t given much thought to what I should say, though, so I will probably pass the magic to someone else in our group who would rather do the talking,” answers Randall.

Looking over to Petcan, he asks, “Are you willing to be our negotiator?”

“Of course, assuming they’re talking types. I have a knack with people, assuming they don’t run away or fight.” Petcan shrugs. 

The tunnel winds a little as it ascends the remaining 40 feet or so to the surface, exiting from another rocky outcrop further down the beach from the one you entered through. Less than an hour's travel down the beach some huts can be seen, a few on the beach and some mixed in among the trees. Some activity can be spotted at this distance, a few natives moving among the huts.

Randall:

”Right, then, shall we approach and when we get close, Petcan, I will bless you with the gift of Tongues?  Or does anyone need further rest first?” asks Randall.

"Petcan volunteered earlier" Tempe notes

"Shame we cant appear as them too."

Petcan will nod to Randal and begin his approach. Should the natives attempt to attack or run, he’ll cast hypnotic pattern 

But when they can get close, he’ll wait for Randall to cast Tongues before calling out a greeting

Zenodor stays near the back and lets Petcan handle the talking. Irraxan will fly a little above the whole scene, keeping an eye out for any surprises, like more people/monsters

As Petcan approaches some of the natives call out "Hello." and "Hello there." and "Welcome."

They begin to approach toward you carrying some items.

Petcan smiles at the more pleasant reaction than before. 

“Hello! My name is Petcan and these are my friends. We’ve arrived recently on the other side of the island. We want to be good neighbors. But there are many strange things here. We hope you can explain them to us.” 

"Yes. I am Shangu." A man wearing a stone hammer at his waist gestures to several other men and women. "Invite your friends. Come and partake." Each of the men and women are bearing a variety of dishes and platters containing simple foods of fish and fruit. "We have gifts of friendship." You also notice reed baskets, clay pots, and several items of clothing among what is being carried by the many men and women approaching you. There must be dozens of them.

“That’s generous of you. Your friendship is most appreciated. It seems almost like you were expecting visitors. Probably from the ones who ran after our undortunate encounter earlier? I hoped we could explain. We were attacked by the flowers from the hole.” 

Zenodor will subtly cast Detect Magic before stepping forward and joining Petcan and the others. With the effect of the spell he will have a look around, especially at the pots and gifts offered. 

Randall:

Smiling and nodding and trying to remain unobtrusive, Randall watches the interaction with the natives and tries to determine if any of them are being deceptive (feeding us poison in the fruit, etc.)
