Tato player note:
Your character has one energy point. Basically, you may expend it during the turn to perform the mystic actions that your character is able to learn. As the story unfolds, Tato will earn many more energy points.
Right now your character can do something called "hide." This means that if there are any animals or humanoids nearby your character's position you may keep them from noticing you or you may sneak up on them. Just tell me when you want to hide during a turn.
Your character also has one quality point. Expending one definitely increases the chance of performing an action. You earn them for any actions that the GM discretely believes are meritorious. Just tell me when you want to use it. Tato will definitely earn more quality points. If your character has more than one, two or more may be used at the same time.
More info...Answers to some of Rollvag questions.
1) There are still seventeen tribes -- but the remaining part of Kip's tribe is enslaved.
2) There are two main land tribes: the Ard and the Ordi; and one main seafaring group: the Systai. You were captured by the Systai and sold into bondage to the Ard. Yes, they fight all the time.
3) Keep the spear for now, it's a good woods tool (and there may be another use for it later. (ask Tara))
4) Tato's bird (called an effereet because of the high pitched sounds they make when calling eachother. They look like huge ostriches with sharp beaks and claws, and they have a wing span of twenty feet when adults.) was just roosting on top of the bastion. It walked behind him on the way there. You can ride an effereet on the ground too!
5) Tato is too young to have experienced any Drog encounters, and as such really has no animosity toward Kip. Tato is shy; but because their ages are similar, Tato's curiosity has overcome any reservations he might have had. (you notice that Kip and Tato have similar mannerisms...)
6) Lizard breast plate is like reinforced leather or banded mail. (-3)
