Vaipah

You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.” "I am Vap. A short name right? We like short names. Because easy to remember. I don't remember many names of the boys of my tribe though. But I remember the name of my tribe, that I do! Because it is important. Kazin'Kul! Nice name. Very nice. I don't remember who invented our name. The important thing is that the name is remembered. Not the name of the one who invented the name. Understood? However I am an explorer. A scout. I go outside our camp and I see things. And I discover the places of enemies. I spend more time outside the camp than inside. The cook at the food hut never prepares food for me. Because I manage. I hunt the prey and eat it so I can stay away from the camp for a long time... So I can find out more things. More places where there are enemies. More treasures and more loot. It's useful to explore, you know? So this is how I help my tribe. Everyone does their part in Kazin'Kul. For this we are strong. One of us alone strong, yes, but not so strong. But all of us together very strong! Chief-Boss and shaman they always say never fight alone! When I'm alone I explore, true, but only that. I just discover things. But when it's time to fight, I go back to camp and say where the enemies are, then we go together and make a big mess. Kazin'Kul is strongest when fighting together. Mmh... Now I have to go and discover other stuff. I have no time to lose. I dont like losing things. So I do not do it."
