 Shrett negotiates with the Aldryami warrior Frowns at Meatpuppets. The elf probes how trustworthy you are; what threat(s) you might pose to the elves. You try to give as little info as possible and soon start pushing back, that it has no authority on this Road; you’re not truly in the Tarinwood (off the Road; mainly west) Bog gives abundant input, while Boamund hopes that this leads to his Truestone being blessed again; and Fraud just tries not to get noticed. The elf asks about who you are and your intentions, what your iron is for, what Bog is all about and why you travel with a Zorak Zorani, what your dealings with Aldryami-kind have been like before (especially bad ones), and such. Shrett tries to steer conversation into fighting mutual enemies such as Chaos/Western sorcerors, and focusing on alliance or helping, not treating each other as threats. He does very well; Frowns at Meatpuppets less so. The elf does get in some insults to Bog, which nearly send Bog into violence, but Shrett rebuts that this is racist nonsense.  Shrett negotiates with the Aldryami warrior Frowns at Meatpuppets.

 +Bog rushes in and starts dancing with aplomb. Shrett uses his monkey-speaking magic and chats to the local monkeys, although they don't have a lot to say (they're just monkeys; and making fun). You start to sing and play music, but a figure approaches. An extraordinary old grey bear ambles up to you, with a spectral orange monkey head following him. In Tradetalk he says, “Welcome, guests. I speak for Koronei, great spirit of the Temple of Bones of All Beasts and of the Great Bone Altar, as High Priest Grubagen Greyhide. It is very rare indeed that we welcome your kind here, but it is a very rare time of Festival with new tidings. You may explore within the circle of the temple grounds, but wander not into the forest mists.” He doesn’t say much more, grumbling when Shrett asks what you’re supposed to do that humans are too serious and he should just go have fun; then he sleepily, grumpily watches you go.
  
 Around the clearing, you can see the Great Bone Altar, but also: a lumpy stone, a big fruit tree full of those chattering monkeys, a bush that looks like a cloud, another lumpy stone, a tall tree, and a smooth stone like a half-buried egg. (map locations 1-7) Around the clearing, you can see the Great Bone Altar, but also: a lumpy stone, a big fruit tree full of those chattering monkeys, a bush that looks like a cloud, another lumpy stone, a tall tree, and a smooth stone like a half-buried egg.
