[Splat]

I originally intended to start tomorow, but as I have some free time and because Munch's Master was nice enough to update his fic a day early, I'll do it now and we can get started.

The Dark Mudokon, I was hoping we could get more experienced RPers at the moment, until we get this properly up and running. If you want to join once you've got some more experience, fine, but at the moment I'd prefer people who already have an idea of the rules (which it would seem you have not read all of, even if you have read some of them).
Anyway, let's get going, shall we.

The Trials of the Tribe

Albert, young warrior of the Mudakee tribe, crawled to the front of the hollow that he'd taken refuge in during the night after the horrific events of the night before. Memories of the shooting and the screaming still echoed in his brain. Towards the east smoke was already rising from the factory that had ordered the slaughter of his people. Behind which the first glows of the sun were showing as dawn drew near. The forest and sky seemed unnaturally quiet and empty, perhaps it was also suffering from the fear of the day before.

He heard a rustle in the hollow behind him and turned to see Cheddar Longwing, head shaman of the Mudakee tribe crawling forwards behind him, dragging his staff along the ground.
Cheddar: "What time is it?"
Albert was a little nervous talking with someone who he had held in awe all his life, but answered, "Just before dawn. Smoke is already rising from the factory."
Cheddar came to the entrance and looked around. "If any others survived we must make sure they find us. We'll survive longer if we group together."
Albert: "But any flare or noise would let the industrialists know where we are as well."
Cheddar: "It's a risk we have to take. The sooner we find each other the better." He stood up, raised his staff and shot out of it a flash of yellow light that raised into the air and seemed to explode into a ball of smoke that drifted slowly upwards. Cheddar sat down again and crawled towards the entrance to the hollow.
Cheddar: "We'll take shelter again. Hide and watch out for any of us that saw that. Keep yourself armed and we'll fight back any industrialists that come this way as well."
