Subj: [Matoaka] Finally!

>"Enough."

Surprised to hear an authoritarian voice in this midst, Matoaka stopped
doing whatever she was doing and turned her attention to Charles.

>He Turned to Matoaka, 
>
>"Your need for revenge is understandable, but for the well being of our
>group. I ask you to put aside those needs for now and work with us
>together."

Matoaka returned his look, but said nothing.

>"Shaw and Matoaka you are head of the scouts.  Cixi, Toyoda-san and Culwyn

Matoaka's eyes turned to Shaw and paused on him at length before returning
on Charles.

>will coordinate the guards, and designate which areas will be guarded and
>watched. A eagerly await a plan from Benjamin on a sound defense for the
>village.  I ask all others to work on making Bamboo spears, arrows, bows,
>and other methods of defense."

>Charles waited patiently for comments, his brow no longer furrowed.

Matoaka looked at the warrior in front of her with a pride and admiration,

"The scouts will needs knives of some sort to defend themselves in case
they stumble upon one of Ford's men.  Do we have any available?"

After everyone is done speaking, she reluctantly turned away to look at
Shaw and joined him to discuss the scouting strategy.

Plan:
At some point, Matoaka will take the time to change with an Native
American towel she had left in her hut before going to New Detroit.  She
will also take her carved bowl and take the time to paint her face.  If
anyone is familiar with those paintings, they are war paintings.

To GM:
GM-No matter what happens, Matoaka will go out scouting by herself. She
will crawl there if she has to.  Due to her Native American upbringing and
her being in tune with nature, she would be very quiet and greatly
inconspicuous by the paleface standards.  By Native American standards, she
is prolly only average.
