Chapter Text
8.30 The one, the only, the unique [Mathematician] of the Plain’s Eye Tribe embraced Merish hard.
8.30 The [Mathematician] gave him a sly look and pushed his glasses up. Somehow, they caught the light and blinded Merish with an afterimage.
8.30 Yelroan was the most interesting Gnoll that Merish knew. A [Mathematician], a class so rare that even city-people didn’t know what it was.
8.30 It did indeed. Yelroan hadn’t gained the [Mathematician] class at first. He’d become a [Scribe], an [Accountant]…then, as he was appointed to calculating the entire clan’s income, managing supplies, and such, he’d morphed into the [Mathematician] class, rather than [Administrator] or some reasonable class.

8.30 “You could have been a [Manager] or [Accountant] or something. Why [Mathematician]?”
8.30 “Of course we do! And quite profitably—we have an exclusive trade deal, the only one of any tribe, as far as I know. I have no idea how Xherw negotiated that back in the day…we have other deals too that keep us on top. But give me eighteen—no, seven more [Mathematicians] and some deals with tribes, and we could replace Pallass and sell everything directly.”
8.30 The [Mathematician] smiled slightly, but watched Merish’s face.
8.30 Merish guessed at once. The [Mathematician] winked at him. He gestured back at the stall.
8.30 …a [Mathematician] of all classes…
8.31 So, after breakfast, Merish went to find Yelroan. The [Mathematician] was in his tent as usual, and Merish poked his head in, took one look at the yawning Gnoll, and came back with some tea and meat biscuits from a nearby campfire.
8.31 Merish followed Xherw to a group of Gnolls outside. For answer, Xherw pointed. Merish saw a scrying orb held by a [Shaman], a group of the Plain’s Eye’s best magic-users…and Yelroan. The [Mathematician] blinked at Merish, and then waved. Xherw gave Merish a slight grin.
8.31 The [Mathematician] smirked at the offended magic-users. He turned to Merish and Xherw with a superior look and shook his head.
8.38 H They glared at Yelroan. The [Mathematician] glanced up as Xherw sighed and gently massaged his face. This was the last thing he needed.
8.38 H Xherw was startled, but Yelroan was indicating circles of yarn around pins. The [Mathematician] sniffed.
