Ok. I think I've finally made a decision. If these guys wanted to sacrifice us they surely would have done so by now. We are all still alive and able to roam around one of their big cities at will and they even prepared special accommodations for us. It's like they knew we were coming or just prepared very quickly
It is finally clear to me that our former enemies now see us as valuable allies like the rest of the world seems to. If I take logistics into account and simple math, then their crops take 3 times as long to grow as ours. No wonder all the other nations seem to like us so much. All their food and trees take ages to grow. We dominate the fruit and lumber markets.
Aside from that I think I finally came to my senses as to why they wanted their own risuners among their people. Naturally we are fast runners and amazing tree climbers compared to everyone else. I guess they wanted our natural speed in their hunter ranks? Makes sense when you think about it.
Out of everyone in the crew I think there are only 2 people left who still want to see everyone here dead. But even they are starting to have doubts after seeing the gems and the room accommodations. Not to mention the nuts here are quite tasty. The meat that they usually eat is actually surprisingly good. Sometimes I forget that some risuners do like to hunt animals back home for food on occasion.
Their magic is a whole other story. I never knew exactly they utilized what they do with raided people and to be quite honest, I really don't intend on finding out. From my limited research however it seems to be some sort of magic that deals with life and enhances their bodies even further. I could be completely wrong but that is what it looks like. They seem to have to do it manually and their tattoos are also a factor.
Now on to the gems. These gems they have on display here is really impressive. Not only are the colors really nice but they have been cut to look as presentable as possible. Obviously someone went out of their way to present these to us. Did these guys know we were coming all along? Guess were not a sneaky as we thought. Anyway the gems are what the witches seek and they pay some damn good nuts for them so I told the shop owner I would like as much variety as possible. One of each if that was possible.
I even told him because risuners value gem variety over having a lot of a specific kind that risuners would be willing to give a helping hand around the town for the few months longer that we are willing to stay. He seemed pretty pleased with the offer as far as I can tell.
The last thing of noticeable interest is of course nut exchanging. Although I know it's every risuners responsibility to exchange nuts with other cultures and tradition (not to mention I'm really eager to get some action as it's been a while) I just can't for some reason. Something just doesn't feel right. If it gets really bad I might hook up with one of their risuners just to get it out of my system. I know half my crew by this point has already been getting their nuts in with the locals already.
If they ask of it in exchange for the gems then fuck it I'll do it. All of them looked beautiful and it would earn me an insane amount of nuts back home so why the fuck not.
