Hi MisterGuyMan! I tell you what, it's bugged me to about Moe getting captured by sranc. A couple of possibilites: they were ursranc or they were ordinary stranc being controlled by ursranc/skin-spy/cuniroi. There's always the possibility that the gods did it or that Bakker hadn't worked out his world completely yet.
It doesn't seem likely, but I suppose the report that Moe was found in the company of sranc could have been fabricated or just misinterpreted. Like Moe finds a small band of sranc, kills them all, is wounded, hears approaching scylvendi, pretends like he's the only survivor of an attack by a rival clan of sranc, idk.
Wonder how long Moe was wandering and if he had to eat sranc?
