Oh, this looks promising.
Meadows are usually filled with either small game like rabbits or Big Game like antelope or Bison. Lets go!

I hate it!

Wait, did the perspective switch win or is this a dream sequence?

>>40390429
The meadow is usually good for a quick meal. You actually prefer it, but you ran into a rather uncouth bear the other day and you didn't want to lower yourself to hunting in the same area as it. Hopefully it's cleared out by now. You did clearly mark the area as your territory after all, it'd only be polite.

You make the short journey to the meadow. It doesn't take more than an hour to get there from the north face. It's about equidistant to your nest. You approach the grassy field from downwind and sniff. It's a long stretch of grass and other plants. Including the colorful ones that its fun to destroy. There's also a nice view of the sea from here. If there was more easy shelter, your nest would definitely be in this area.

You're looking out at the sea when it explodes. A massive pillar of light and reddish water preceding a massive sound that has you leaping into the air, claws out and hissing at whatever made the explosion. Behind you a scaly one does something similar though they're more eloquent in whatever scaly language they're using. "Bondye modis li, Kasha. Ki sa ki lanfè ous ap fè yo deyò?"

You don't jump a second time for their presence. You obviously knew they were there. Obviously. You groom a bit to make it clear just how much you were expecting both events and were in no way surprised.

Alright, you asked for it.
META-IGUANA CHALLENGE UNLOCKED: I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS
Complete the challenge for experience and a swell prize. This challenge has started elsewhere. You'll have to figure out the nature of it yourself through clues in story. MIGHT TAKE A WHILE

Well, I dont have time to bleed. So someone else is gonna have to figure it out.

You sit politely and watch the scaly one recover their composure. Poor creature. If only it were more like you. You never lose your composure. The scaly one rights itself and checks its things. It's carrying a couple bags under an interesting cloak with lots of green colors on it. It double checks one bag and you catch a whiff of the plants inside and your nose wrinkles. You remember that plant. It wasn't a fun plant.

"Oh bons. Mwens pa t 'pèdi nenpòt," the scaly one mutters to herself, "Sa a ta dwe pi fasil si mwen te kapab mande Kuru yo kiltive sa a."

It starts to go back to foraging through the grass when it notices your polite attention. It blinks at you. Then it sees something over your shoulder and dives to the left. Why would i-

Something the size and consistency of a deer clips your shoulder and sends you tumbling across the meadow. Whatever hit you landing a short distance off, rolling to a stop of its own. You flail a bit and find your feet, wincing as a sharp pain shoots through your shoulder. You look up to find the scaly one looking at you curiously.

"Èske ous Oke?" it asks in the same language it's been muttering to itself. You blink in incomprehension. Then it tries the language of the raiders and you hiss and swear at it.

"You could have just saids you speak Sand," it says in the language you actually speak, "Are you alright."

>I'm fine, thank you.
>Ow, I hurt. (ham)
>What hit me?
>Say other thing <specify>
>Other?

(Placeholder languages in effect, because I don't do original stuff.)

Nah, don't worry. It'll come up again on its own. Sunny has a to do list.

>>40391242
Looking at our character sheet for leads, I found a "metal widget" in our inventory.
Anyone remember where we got that and what it relates to?

Maybe its something that will stop us having to constantly sort out our mana issues manually?
Hence the
>I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS

>>40391720

Isn't there a sundial in the village? Which tells time with the sun? And we have sun magic?

I'm betting it has something to do with the sundial.

>>40391432
You roll your shoulder and ignore the minor twinges of pain in it. It's probably fine.

"I'm fine, thank you," you tell the scaly one, "Did you see what hit me?"

The scaly one shrugs and looks in the direction the thing went. "I didn't get a really good look. I just got out of the way," it says, wandering over to where the grass is laid low by the thing. You don't follow but you do make your way over. Not because you're curious too but because this is the direction you were going in.

That's... a large pile of meat. It looks like nothing but a big pink slab of meat. You sniff it but fail to identify what kind of meat. You've never smelled it before. Beside you the scaly one sniffs it too.

"Krab? Poukisa ses bondye gen- modis li Kasha..." the scaled one looks surprised then rubs its eyes with what you assume is exasperation. You wait expectantly and it notices your stare then explains hurriedly, "Ah, sorry. It's crab meat. My sister apparently found a new level of going overboard."

"Your sister did this?" you ask confused.

"Well," she says, "I'm not certain, but she was going to the beach with my niece today. And this does have her clawwork all over it." You don't see any claw marks on the meat.

"Is it edible?" you ask. You try not to eat things you don't know about. It might end badly, as evidenced by the time you ate the grass the scaly one had in its bag.

"Oh, definitely," she agrees, starting to carve off a strip with her claws, "Have some." She waves you toward it. There's a strange sweet aroma coming off the meat that seems odd for meat. It's rather tempting.

Pretty sure the 'was' is referring to the crab. It'll take more than a Crab'thulu to defeat the mighty Kasha!

>>40392004
You tear a long strip of meat off and eat it with supreme delicacy, as befits you. The meat is sort of flaky but also has a slightly sweet taste. It's fairly good!

"Your sister explodes things often?" you ask, to make conversation.

The scaly one sighs. "Not often but she makes large messes."

"That was a large explosion," you comment between bites, "Do you need to check on her?"

It laughs. Its laughter is slightly odd as its accent pollutes the laughter as well. "If that was enough to do her in then I wills be surprised. She is very hard to put down."

Huh. You consider asking the scaly one's name but think it might be rude to ask for something you can't give in return. You feel a slight pang at that but you don't show it.

"I am Sarissa," she introduces herself. Crap.

How to approach this delicately.

You hastily take an oversized bite of meat then try not to choke on it. Right. Cheeks. You don't have cheeks right now. Not that you used them when you had them. You find nothing wrong with swallowing bits whole either way. You try not to be obvious about avoiding replying but then you realize you're going to have to answer anyway once your mouth is empty. Puddles...

You stop eating for a moment while you frantically grasp for an out. Your eating companion gives you an odd look. Then something like comprehension enters its eyes. Wait, there's no way that the scaled one figured out your problem from that little information. Right? But she does speak your language so it's possible. That's slightly... You don't really want her to know that much.

Swallowing the bite, finally, you open your mouth to try and change the subject but she cuts you off. You're pretty sure its a she now. You're not sure how to tell with scaly ones but you're confident in your judgement.

"How old are you?" she asks in a terrifyingly gentle tone, ignoring that you ignored her question.

Well, you know the answer to that one, you were careful to keep track, but still...

>>40392778
"Six," you tell her.

"Winters?" she sounds surprised.

"Cycles," you correct her. "So will your sister's daughter be okay?"

She blinks at the change but then seems to consider it. "She'll be fine. And if she isn't I pity the thing that made her not so," she says with a nod.

"Because you sister is strong?" you ask.

"That," she nods, "And if she doesn't do something about the problem then I will." She smiles with faint malice.

Well, that sent a chill running from the tip of your tail right on up your spine. This lady is kinda scary when she says it like that. You don't let your feelings show up on the surface though. It wouldn't be proper. Still you managed to get the subject changed, best you kept it changed.

You ask her more about her family and she seems happy to talk about them. Apparently she spends a lot of time with them lately. Her sister having had a new litter. She goes on and on about one of them named Sunniva, and from the way she talks you think that one must be her favorite. She also spends some time telling you about her favorite game when it seems like she's going to run out of family subjects. Rock stacking, how terrible.

Eating your fill of the meatslab this way you get through without anymore uncomfortable questions. There's a fair bit of meat left too. Sarissa says she wasn't particularly hungry. Though you notice she only said that after the name debacle. You'll give her the benefit of the doubt though.

All the questions

>>40393267
"Can you keep this meat for a while before it goes bad?"

Sarissa looks at the remains of the crab slab. "Sometimes. If you puts it in a cool place. Do you have someplace cool to puts it?"

You nod. "My nest is very cool in the back. But the goblins might sneak in while I'm gone."

"Goblin problems?"

"Every coupled days or so," you shrug imperiously. "They're not really problems. Just annoyances."

You start flitting around the edges of the meat trying to figure out how to haul it back home. If you changed you'd have the spare limbs for it but you don't really want to. Sarissa apparently preempts you but pulling out a string and starting to tie the meat in a ball. "If you put their heads on pikes they usually stop coming around," she tells you as she works.

You discuss the subject of goblin repelling for a while as the meat is gathered up. It's much more manageable now, though would still be easier to carry if you changed. As you're helping Sarissa you keep noticing the smell of the grass from earlier from her bag, your curiosity is driving you nuts.

"What is that grass for?" you ask suddenly.

"Hm? Ah, it's a sleep aid," she tells you.

You stare at her with an unimpressed expression. "I ate that grass once to settle my stomach. I couldn't sleep for three days afterward."

"See," Sarissa says, "Sleep aid. Aids you with a sleep problem."

The idea of sleep being a problem confounds you. Where would you be without the ability to sleep off 12-16 hours of the day. Granted you've spent an unseemly amount of time awake today but when you've got the food to spare you sleep as much as you can.

"Where'd you find that grass?" she asks you.

"It's all over near my nest," you tell her.

She hums and considers that before making you an offer. She will go gather some things and meet you at the nest to help setup fetishes to scare off goblins. In exchange you show her where to find the sleepless grass.

You consider that it seems like a decent plan.

"You never said who Kuru was," you say.

She blinks and she trips over what you said. "What?"

"Kuru. You mentioned she is always spending time with you and your family, but mostly only when you're there. And you talk like your spend most of your time with her."

"I don't-," she starts before composing herself, "A friend. Kuru is a friend of mine."

"Really?" you ask, suspicious. You've gotten a decent idea of lizard emotional responses over the past hours of conversation. Something about Sarissa's behavior seems... embarassed.

>>40393905
You let off. It's not really important anyway. You agree to her deal and are trying to figure out how to tell her where your nest is but she waves your directions off.

"You're going to be carrying a lot of crab. You'll be easy to track," she tells you.

That's a little worrying but she assures you it'll be fine. Most things up here on the mountain don't know what crab is. You didn't know what it was so she's right there.

You wave as she disappears into the woods to get things to make the fetishes. The meat sits piled at your paws and you sigh. There's no use wasting time on this. You take a deep breath and let yourself stretch out into your other form. Your back legs stretch out below you and your fore paws become long and differently jointed. Annoyingly a significant amount of your fur goes away too. Still the clawed hands are useful for carrying things. Hauling up the meat you head towards your nest.

It takes the better part of two hours before you find the long crack in the mountain your nest is hidden in. It looks like some giant monster dragged a claw down the side of the mountain and gud a huge furrow in it. About 3/4 of the way up you have a cave, hidden under an outcroppin of stone where the furrow begins to narrow. It's almost invisible until you stand in front of it. You drag your provisions in and push them as far back into the cavern as far back as possible. There's not much in here other than that. And as soon as you've stored it you change back to your four legged form and settle in for a nap. Four legs, so much better for napping
