"There. No dunes, door you find. Calebra up-up top. My fingers tens of years guards the tower. Wetsands' father of father of father go inside up-up top. Big hole. Sneak-sneak. You no take children."

Aref:

"Desert harsh. Bhuka worship Gozreh. Zaaf teach Wetsands gods."

"Hahaha. Yes bigbrother Aref. Dead god temple, buried city. Find tomorrow, we show you."

"No problem Cordoba. Bhuka guards no shoot you."

"Bigbig daughter of selling man come here. Run away from home. Daddy want her marry stupid. She come here live Bhuka life many years, teach me speak many words two language. Her name Zaaf."

To Aref Wetsands shouts in Qadiran: "Dawr al Qunaytirah al wadi ghada!"

To Cordoba and Aref while they chat: "Wetsands language - talk good?"

To Bohden: "You follow dead god's child, Daddy Bohdan Orcson. You safe there."

Points to Syd surreptitiously and says to Bohdan: "Me no understand Syney Orcson. You brother? Some Bhuka stupid, too. Stupid no problem he big strong."

He points to the big Bhuka who mixed the drugs, still talking to Bohdan: "That me brother, Bigstones. He stupid but strong. No sick. Eat one-month-dead camel no problem. Drink Badwater no problem. Biglove him."

"You want dead god temple? City under sand? Maybe Calebra's house."

He chatters at the other Bhuka, some of them shake their heads and wave their hands.

"Calebra big nasty ask dumb questions no answer."

"Me think tribe walking Kasheer there tomorrow. Me show tomorrow morning."

"Yarr Aref don't boggart the pipe my friend, pass it over to me"

"Why you have no hair like other bigbigs?"

That is quite an interesting flower which blossoms from your shoulder. Is that a desert cactus blossom?

"Wahahahahaha."

Unable to focus on you but obvioiusly talking to you. He waves his pipe around.

"This flower not bad. Also fist cactus but not here. Eat that all day like hit on head."

"Wetsands ask Aref Sami Shahrokh why come here?"

Wetsands chuckles again. He stamps his foot on the sand three times then looks at Cordoba.

After a few moments he points to Cordoba's feet. "Agreed?"

Sniffs the pork and the cheese. Chatters into the bushes.

He looks up at Cordoba then Ryor: "Big party?"

He points at Drasheer. "Cook longlegs."

He pulls a huge roasted beetle out his pouch: "...and sandbiters."

"What you got?"

"No bigbigs here longtime. Watch robed and camel walk from east only."

He cackles like a Varisian goblin then chatters at the Bhukas behind him. You hear a lot of laughter and some of it is coming from behind you.

"Cordoba Leads Bigbigs make funny."

"Bhuka make fire roundhouse. Calebra and changelings not see. Cook meat. Swim water. Agree?"

"Welcome Southwalls Goodwater. Bhuka's beware Bigbigs. Years gone many kills between tribes."

He chatters back at the bushes.

"Eastwind Wetsands ask no kills at this Goodwater. Both tribes many. After red sands tribes hungry."

"Me name..."

There is a long pause while he thinks about this.

"Eastwind Wetsands Leads Hunting Group."

"Greetings Cordoba Leads Big-bigs Travel Desert."

You hear some chattering in the bush. Another Bhuka who you didn't see before makes himself visible and walks out into the open (to I7).

"Big-bigs no weapons with Bhuka leader talk"

Ploot!
