They are rather short and long, they have leathery skin and are quite strong, they have sharp teeth and long snouts. Their legs are to the sides of their bodys (like a crocodile). I'm sorry I'm really bad at description I have a clear mental picture about them I'm just had at words, does that clear it up? Do you have a specific question about them? Thank you for answering ! Just one question how fast are they ?

Relative to you they have a very fast running speed and sprint, their jog is slower than yours but would probably be able to outpace you if they had good food and drink for a while and carried nothing. While carring either people or supplies they are slowed but are still pretty fast. They seem to rely more on stealth than speed for their kills. At a simple walk they can move about 4 of your steps to every 3 of your steps. (i say your steps because of how they move, rather slither with legs).

I have a few questions for you, if you wouldn't mind asnwering them ?
how does the Ashar plant look ? How does the fruit look ? Where does it grow ? (I'm asking this for various reasons, one of wich being curiosity, and an other one being working out the culture of the Orzal)
Are there any other notable plants or animals in my vicinity ?
Are the missing scouts still alive ? (Based on wat my tribe knows)

I imagined them completely different but I prefer this version !

(Based on wat my tribe knows) Ashar fruits look sorta like a cone with a spherical bottom, they have a bulge bottom and the top comes to a point, when you rub the bottom in a certain way the top opens up and the goo is inside. It mainly grows on the edge of the bogs on weird vines that connect to the bogs itself. The plants look long and stringy, sorta like vines but strong enough to hold themselves up without support. There were strange forest creatures, and the bog seems to hold some strange creatures under it that have appear from time to time, but have had no meaningful interaction with your tribe. There are fish and small game, like rabbits and such, but at this point no significant others. Your tribe has no idea where the missing scouts went or if they are alive, tracks were hard to follow in the bog

(no spoilers though). I also have the feeling these scouts ae going to end up as an NPC civ, aren't they ?

I have two questions after this round. What is an Ashar berry? How deep is the swamp of Mukoi? and Is my tribe on a island in the middle?

Ashar berries are the fruits that the Orzal tribe discovered in the swamp, they have drug like tendencies when opened a certain way, and are a religious icon to your tribe. The average swamp depth is about waist high, but in some areas is too deep to touch the ground, your people do not have the ability to accurately measure the depth yet. Your tribe is located in a relatively dry spot somewhere in the deep of the swamp, and is surrounded by wetlands and water, as well as weird looking plants

Oh yeah, this is what the Xi`thoians of the Xi`thoi Tribe look like. Despite appearances, they are actually omnivores.

Interesting choices, I'm not going to confirm or deny that, to each their own. I personally imagined them more like idk orc headed but human bodies. It looks cool though and I like it
Is that a spore creature?

Skyguy98 I'd like to know more details about the Neshlek berries, considering their my most inportant food suorce at the moment. I'd also like to hear more about the swamp I live in, and the fish that live in it. Finally I'd like to know how fat the Mukoi are from me.

I'd also like to hear more about the swamp I live in, and the fish that live in it. Finally I'd like to know how fat the Mukoi are from me. What details would you like me to give you? They are tiny, bright pink, have a juicy core. They taste quite good (like sweet) and grow in small clusters on the branches of small bushes that only go up to about mid calf at the highest. Thee plants have leafs that cone around the berries naturally that make them hard to get to and spot, but after some time and thanks to the breeding effort of the tribe, your people know where the berries are and how to get to them easy enough. The swamp you live on the edge of is actually several swamps and bogs, most of which have plants that grow to only about half again as tall as a person. It is far across and hard to travel through thanks to a mix of wetlands, bogs, vegetation and other things that impede efforts, hence why your tribe tends to stay near the edge. There are sometimes lanes that are follow able, but tend to be maze like. Your scouts have taken these lanes before and you know that a few of them lead to the forest on the other side, but the terrain makes it hard to recreate the route and can easily be lost in, as some other scouts have discovered. Like i told johnwerewright most of the water is only waist high but that still makes it difficult to pass through and some of the bogs have sudden drop offs and moss and algae that make it hard to see into the water. Anything else you want to know feel free to ask, but some specifics may require a vote. Note: Most of the same goes to the rest of you, you want to know something than ask, i will try to give a full and more complete description, just know that some things may change or seem hand-waved, and that mainly goes toward the more i think about something the more description i can give and i may decide things would be better a different way, and for that i apologize so ill try to keep that to a minimum. The fish that live in the swamp, that you have discovered, are mostly just regular fish, they eat algae and or each other and are about the size of your hand or forearm, and have various shapes and sizes, the biggest of them are the bottom feeds, equivalent to catfish on our world, and can grow to about the length of an arm. These are the prizes of the fishermen but are rare in the area you live in. There are various other wildlife, such as swamp birds, rodents, and deeper into the swamp lie some more... difficult beasts, but for the most part most things are just rumors to your people. The Mukoi have fled into the aforementioned depths of the swamp. Your people are not sure where exactly they are, you just know that they have gone into the swamp and are far enough away that the initial hunting parties did not find them, but you are not quite sure. February Steam of Foushoo this information is also pertinent to your tribe if you want it

With that in mind, anything I should particularly know about the Grass Expanse? I already have a good amount of knowledge about my little arthropod helpers, so perhaps there's anything you could tell me that may influence my future votes?

Your tribe has not really explored the grasslands beyond a small distance, your people are aware that the grasslands extend for a long distance, and sometimes at night you can hear bigger beasts. As the Mosi have shown your people, there are occasionally watering holes that creatures drink from, and that also sprout eatable plants that your people enjoy. Scouting and hunting parties that voyage into the thick grass often come back with things varying in size from rodents to the size of men, but the latter is rare. In the distance there are sometimes tall trees that peak out, but those are not especially common. If there are specific questions you have ask, but most things would require dedicated scout parties to explore

Wait a minute, you guys in the swamp are in the best place to find species similar to crocigators... Huh, I better do research on that later when my tribe's a civilization and can actually spend votes for scouts to explore without ruining my plan. Oh, and what are our teal berries like? Are they just teal grapes or just teal blueberries? What about the general region of our river/forest/plains/mixed environment?
