>>5673767>Art: Anonymous carvers of the Mortuary Temple of Hat-shepsut.>Alt-Text: A carving of sailors from the 18th Dynasty of Kemet rowing a boat“I want Stoneface with me.”
Nizax: Absolutely not.
“They’re the best bodyguard I could have and they know the language and area.”
Nizax: They’re a killer who can’t be trusted. I’m keeping them with the main fleet where I can watch them.
Stoneface: One problem with that. Me.
The master warrior walks into your group, standing as if to dare anyone to tell them to leave.
Stoneface: River with danger, river with death.
They throw a dagger in an arc. Four palm saplings lose their heads
Stomeface: No danger.
“See, I’m in good hands. And between you and me, I don’t think it’s up to you."
Lani: You should let them go together, Captain. Wild dogs should be kept from the camp.
“I’d smack you for that line if I didn’t agree with you.”
Nizax: No one’s smacking anyone.
Nizax stares at Stoneface and turns to you.
Niax: That...machine killed a dozen of us. They’re more dangerous than anything you can expect out there.
“Which should KEEP anything I can expect out there away from us. Besides, I’ll have a squad with me.:
Nizax: *Sigh* Stay safe.
“Of course. Though it would be funny if you had to tell your boss you got his sister killed.”

This RIver Network is amazing. Nothing like the Muli back home.
That’s like getting dead drunk, a straight-up rush you feel in the morning, this one’s more like a Dreamdoor trip.
A twisty mess of experiences that keeps you from telling what’s up.
“Good thing we have a local.”
Stoneface’s been staring into the water since you got on the river.
“Hey! Just how much of Our Language do you know?
Stoneface: Enough.
The wa’a keeps sailing into a muddy field. Strange plants grow from the muck as your boat almost slows to a stop.
Stoneface raises their hand, then immediately ducks as a makeshift arrow sails past their head.
The Warrior raises a hand, just as you come close to a smaller boat with five people on it
Stoneface: Catching-Boat!
“What, like pirates?!”
Stoneface: Down!
You get tackled to the floor of your craft as the enemy ship approaches.
It's as slapdash as their weapons, more of a raft really and its crew looks like it hasn't had a good meal in days.
Stoneface takes out their daggers and stares calmly at the pirates.
>Let Stoneface attack the pirates (Advantage: Stoneface’s combat skills)>Try to communicate with the pirates through Stoneface (Advantage: Makana's Charisma>Run Away (Advantage: Faster ship)
