The Rhennee camp is put together in a rather complex fashion, though after a day or two there, its easy to navigate through it and see where everything is. The Rhennee camp is actually quite well equipped, as they are traders and river folk. Fish dishes are typical and meals are shared as a group. Ale is the common drink and tales are told around the fire. Sometimes songs are performed as well. Important Persons of note: (will be updated in a bit) Marcus (M) - Herbalist, walks around with a Lepoard by his side named Kinyu Bethany (F) - Head Cleric of Olidmara when the Vashra is not needed. Isty (F) - Clan Historian Maran (M) - Historian's Apprentice Rachel (F) - Elderly woman in charge of taking care of the younger children. Zacharias (M) - Merchant usually head of the caravans/boats Tobias (M) - Vashra's son and Chris's father. Leads all hunts Michael (M) - Blacksmith and Weapon's Forger Other NPCS- 4 Guards protect the Vashra Numerous other clan members, man and female exist doing their day to day lives.  Its crappy, but its a basic map for navigational purposes.

The Vashra's tent would be the most decadent of all of the tents around the encampment. Inside it there would be the Vashra herself, usually sitting on a whole lot of pillows. There sometimes would be smoke filtering through the room, and in the middle of the room would be some kind of device. Sometimes it could be filled with water for scrying, other times it could be filled with sand for fortune telling.
As the Diviner and main seer of the clan, she took care of her people by helping them see enemies, where good game might be if it was scarce at any point in the year, cursing those who insulted her clan as well as telling the fortunes of clan members who sought a true fortune, a mix of good and bad news.

Master Bard Thomas, Auron and Yuko led the way towards the Rhennee camp. Getting everyone to dismount, Isis and Munothu took the horses to the side to be fed and watered after the long ride. Arriving at the entrance, the guards stopped them and a conversation was had between Thomas and the guards in Rhopan (the Rhennee language's actual name) before being allowed entrance.
"All right," Thomas said, stopping the group before they'd walk into the large encampment. A few of the people had stopped in their evening chores or meal to watch the newcomers. Some noticed Chris and their eyes went rather wide and nervous whispers started to murmur things like 'is that really her?' and 'I thought she was dead'.
Thomas sighed with slight annoyance and continued addressing the group, the people eventually going back to what they were doing, though keeping a cautious eye on such a large group of people, nevermind they knew well over half of them were ones who had helped them during the time of the worst anarchy.
"When you go to see the Vashra, you'll need to leave your weapons outside. It is a sign of respect and one that needs to be followed. Show her respect always, she has the ability to curse you without a second thought," he explained. "And she can kick you out of here faster than the blink of an eye. She'll let you ask your questions and explain to you what she thinks you need to know, at least for this evening. It is starting to get late, no doubt she'd rather have a full discussion in the morning."
His green eyes flickered with warmth. "She is a seer, and does tell fortunes. Now she's never used any scrying spells on any of you before, but she still might know things upon seeing you. If she offers up to do your fortune, I wouldn't refuse if I were you." He shuddered at that, remembering from experience. How far back though, wasn't something he wanted to go into.
"Am I forgetting...." he trailed off. "Hrm...any questions from you all instead? Feel free to ask me before going to see her." He was strangely well versed in Rhennee etiquette, but then again, he was a bard, bard's knew all kinds of things.

Tora would have raised his hand, but... the plushie couldn't exactly say what it wanted to do. So it remained either cuddled or tied up, being sure to follow the main group when they visited the Vashra.

Having been the cuddle toy of Yuki on the way over, it remained as such. If Legion got Tora back and he was dressed up in some kind of doll outfit, it wasn't this mun's fault. Though Chris had started eying up the toy, as had Katiana. For completely opposite reasons though, but Yuki remained the current holder of it.
If the grandmother got ahold of it. It might just be able to talk...among other things that might happen to it. Your imagination there.

Legion wasn't as stupid at to leave Tora undefended. Not to mention... Legion still needed to gather data on their end. Tora started to hack as if it was suffering from a hairball.

Yuki held up the toy and started looking it over. "Is something the matter with it?" he inquired.
"Its hacking...maybe its a fluffball," Yuko said jokingly.
"...stuffed animals can't die like that, can they?" Chris asked.
"No sweetie, they can't," Yuko replied. "Yuki, don't break it, I'm sure the Vashra will want to see it."
"I won't mom!" he said.

It coughed up a pendant after a time, catching it with its tail. It put it on but otherwise remained as cute as it normally was. >_> Just don't go sticking your hand down its throat. It bites... and is where Legion stored most of his weapons.

Rose and Yuko both started eying the pendant with interest. "Check it if its magical," Yuko said. "We can have Isty identify it if it is."
Yuki snuggled the kitty plushie. "The pendant makes it heavy...what else does it have in its mouth?" He was curious, very curious about what it could cough up. "Maybe it really hold a dragon's horde! Or lots of treasure."
Katiana rolled her eyes. "Probably not."

The plushie just looked at the two women with the cutest face it could produce. 4laugh Harmless plushie, totally harmless. It pushed the gem on the pendant and there was a slight click. At that Tora sneeze and a diamond came out of its mouth too. Tora was like a bag of holding. >_> Heck, almost everything Legion owned was like a portable hole or a bag of holding.
As for the diamond, nothing special. Just a hobby Legion might have worked on in spare time... unfortunately he wasn't exactly with his friends, ne?

"Is it mechanical?" Yuko said, looking at the pendant. The dragon in her eyed the diamond. "SHINEYYYYY!"
"Yuko..." Katiana said, and shook her head. "You and gems..."
Of course at this point Chris eyed up the diamond too. There was a bit of dragon in her after all too.
"You know what, I think some of us actually...seeing as we don't need to see the Vashra, should get selling on some of this stuff," Auron suggested, trying to distract the ladies. "You want your gold from all the stuff looted from them right?"
"But...tis a diamond..." Yuko said. "I want to look at the shiney!"
Everyone did a small version of an anime sweatdrop.

Sei, quiet, call the press! 8D
"We're going to go see the Vashra...or more likely, who she wants to see will be going into see her. Leave your weapons at the door and show the utmost respect," Katiana summarized.

Master Thomas disappeared into the heart of the camp, saying he'd be seeing who the Vashra wanted to see first, but she would meet everyone eventually.
"This should be interesting really," Katiana said. "Never really talked much with seers before. And I'm really out of my element here. This is...very far away from home."
