(Before arrival)
Well the time is upon us. We have found the /meat/ mainland and the entire crew is a mix of excited, scared, and even a few are hoping for vengeance for lost family. I gave extremely strict orders that nobody is to attack under any circumstances unless they are attacked first.
Every contingency plan is in effect in case a deal cannot be made. And we damn well know what were gonna do if a single one of us goes missing.
The landing point appears to be a forest. As we closed in it seemed to be a nice looking place quite similar to home. A bit of relief in what would be the most stressful mission any risuner to date would take.
(Arrival at the shores)
The pinisi is parked and we began unloading. So far no sign of any natives. And thank fucking god because even though there are only 35 of us we look like a small raid force. I thought it best to ascend the trees and travel extremely light. 3 groups of 5 will split and explore each with special horns that we would blare in case any danger arrives.
Moving along the trees we realized that the forest is not nearly as big as we thought it was going to be. There was a decently sized flat land in front of us and from very far away we could see what looked like some kind of structure. Seemed like a good place to check out so scout teams moved as close as they could before nightfall took over.
(Night time)
Well fuck. It seems these people may be onto us. Everyone is on extreme high alert. They have whole patrols everywhere but they're not coming to the forest. At least not yet. The kronies did mention some big bay farther to the west that was very active so i'm guessing that they must be lighting up that particular bay. Must be important to them.
Luckily the boats did not seem to notice us. Must be because of the dark so I take it as a sign of good luck and Risu watching over us. There is no way this will last forever. We will be seen at some point so I shall designate a meeting point that gives us a good escape route.
(Day 2)
We evaded any form of contact but I fear with these guys constant ships going in and out that this will not last long. 15 risuners guard the ship and have orders to either flee on boat or in the forest in case of attack. Me and the rest split into 4 teams of 5 and move in. Eventually we confirm that building sighting earlier and decide to move in.
After climbing some steps we come across some sort of shrine to one of the meat goddesses. Most of the crew at this point are overly paranoid and weapons drawn. I give a general statement and order to everyone.
"Listen up Risuners! I understand that you all have lost family and friends in the raids of the past. Believe me I know the feeling, most of you know my grandparents were both taken a few years back. But if you resort to killing them then not only will that make the situation worse and further endanger innocent risuners but get yourselves killed too. Even with our new iron weapons and armor we are no match for warriors of their skill. We are her to put a STOP to all of this once and for all, not to let it continue. We cannot go back in time so instead let us change the future to ensure the survival of /risu/. I know many of you want reparations for people taken and I will definitely negotiate that with these guys. The kronies are our friends and they seem to trust them so why cant we?
"We know that they will come here to this statue and light fires for the bay down there. It will be here that we meet the first of their people. And let me make one thing clear. If ANY OF YOU FUCKS ATTACK UNPROVOKED I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF AND LET THEM DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH YOUR BODY!"
For a moment it seemed that they were even more scared of me that the meatheads. I did what I had to do. Most of /risu/ are grateful for the iron gifts, the knowledge of strange but wonderful new lands, and of course the assistance in designing and building our first pinisi. These people that I call my crew are for the most part the last of those who feel the desire for revenge. They were the only ones who volunteered for this mission and I knew why really quickly.
And now as I am writing this we wait. Wait for the night crews to come, if that is a regular occurence. The plan is set and now there is absolutely no turning back.
(Day 2 afternoon)
Welp. They found our ship. The risuners guarding it immediately took what they could and fled into the forest. They were so out of breath when they arrived since they brought most of the cargo with them. Strangely the meatheads didnt emerge from the forest. My guess is that they must be going to one of their cities to tell someone that were here. Well at least all of us are here. With extra trading commodities and the safety of the other half of the crew I feel a bit better. They know we are here. Now all there is to do is wait for someone to show up and hope its not an army. Risu please protect us.
