Prompt:

Odan-Urr and Plageius have each set up their own camps on Myrkr in their quest for a fabled object called Desired One. Recently, each camp was informed that the other was also somewhere on the planet with them. It’s has been some time since Odan-Urr and Plageius crossed paths and since then rumors have abounded about what the other is actually like. Stuck around a campfire one long night, you decide to tell a story to your fellow clanmates about the opposing clan.

What juicy rumors or facts do you decide to include? Does the other side kick puppies or chuck out perfectly good cookies? What embellishments does your character weave into it to tell a good campfire story? Is it a scary story, anecdote, or something else? We’ve got our snacks ready. Tell us all a tall tale about the other Clan.
