Ahem, Rubani?
You killed it and hit the other one.
As Rubani slices their compadre in twain, the two monkey men start shrieking loudly.
#1 attacks Dino.
club, club, bite
miss
miss
miss
and it is one ticked off monkey
Other one attacks Rubani
miss
miss
miss
now there's 2 ticked off monkeys
PCs are up.
That drops it.
Both full attack the monkey man.
All hit, but the monkey is still up and screeching.
Lalali?
at the last ape.
That drops the last one, combat over.
They don't have an equipment of note beyond coconuts.

Eyeing the coconuts, picking up a rather large one (as big as my head practically) and holding it up, then eyeing Lalali...
"Hey Lalali, I was on vacation once on this little island with warm water and I remember the women used these coconuts. They would split the shells in half..." I make a karate chop motion on the coconut. ...empty out the contents, and depending on the size of their coconuts, shave a little down." Eyes Lalali's chest size. "Each half would resemble a cup. Then they would tie some string, enough to go around their chest, through each cup, and add a loop that goes around the neck, and then wear it like the top of a bikini." Eyes Lalali's chest again then looks at the various coconuts on the ground. "That little one over there looks like it might work if you want to make a coco-kini. Hey I just made a new word cocokini! I like the sound of that, I'll have to remember that the next time we get back to town and I'm telling this story of the time we tried to train the monkeys and all we got were coconuts."
"Hey Rubani, did you know your head kind of looks like a coconut? Maybe you could use this big one for a helmet."
Lalali listens to Hindis amazing ideas calmly.
That small coconut should just be enough to fit your parts and your brain Hindi. I get the message though. We'll look into getting you an ape, so you have some company. Must have been awfully long for you, if you even had some before. You could take a coconut, split it and make hoof noises, pretending we ride, though. Or serve me a coconut drink, maybe a cocotini. Enough of them might even get you somewhere.
She then let's out a loud sigh.
So after the discussion about cocoknockers, do you have a destination in mind?
Allright Hindi, gather some coconuts, bring them along and let's move on.
Lalali points at the mud puddles and structure to the north.
[b]Best we check that out, it's in the open though.[/ooc]
You head up to V
Near the center of the ruins stand the shattered remains of three conical cylinders connected by low, thick walls of piled stone. Boab trees burst from crumbling structures, their thick roots and branches devouring large chunks of ancient stonework. The walls surround an overgrown courtyard of toppled statues, weathered foundations, and a path of broken cobbles winding around large, watery pools.
Malok takes a gander around for lurking enemies.
You don't notice any visible enemies, but there appears to be a trap in the area leading into this place.
(there is a map posted- trap is at V1).
"Trap over here.."
Does it look like it can be set off at a distance?
You don't think that is possible.
Hindi thinks she got it. At least it didn't drop on her.
She appears to have disabled it, as it doesn't move when you proceed.
Yes, yes, i'm coming.
Malok follows behind.

"Thanks Rubani, I almost forgot them while I was getting my special tools out."
My mind is working on trying to figure out how to make a cocotini. I wonder if I mix some oldlaw whiskey into the coconut water, if that will work. Thinking of the whiskey, I take out my hip flask and have a swig then offer a swig to everyone.
"Anyone want a swig of oldlaw?"
You head south into V2 which is an old courtyard, where tar pits have bubbled up in sections, collapsing part of the wall.
You are able to avoid the tar and move on to V3.
A large pond stretches through the center of the ruins, its water black and glassy. Crumbling remnants of walls rise from its surface, while huge slabs of salvaged granite form a makeshift foundation that supports crude walkways cut from felled trees.
Perception checks please.

"This is an interesting place, look at all this goo. I wonder if you hollowed out one of the coconuts and used it as a scoop if you could scoop out the goo and clean this place up? What if you kept on scooping and scooping until there was no more goo, how big would the hole be in the ground? I don't think I could reach the bottom, I'd probably have to build a ladder. Would a ladder even fit to the bottom or would we have to get some rope? But then I'd need one of those strong monkeys trained up to help so he could pull me back up on the rope. How long would that take if you did it one scoop at a time? What if you used a bag of holding to just scoop out more stuff, then just emptied that out instead. I wonder if that would work."
Very interesting questions that really move the world. How about this: Is this goo poisonous, acidious, or even alive and possibly hostile?
It is tar. It is sticky, icky, and smelly.
Mh why do they have a tar pit in their settlement? This is curious. Don't scoop it up Hindi.
Malok and Rubani notice some of the monkey men trying to hide in here waiting to ambush you.
"Some Monkey dudes over there trying to hide.."
They are not in the tar, but above on a walkway. I have added them to the map.
Mh, probably they have evil plans. Can you throw them into the tar before they throw us?
