The goal of this scenario is to simply translate that dance into a sentence.

Hints:

• The event scroll has a recording of the dance you can pause and scrub through
• Arm position is a noun or verb, with the exception of Forbidden, which requires legs. Some words require 2 positions
• If a word has two positions, doing the two moves in reverse order translates to its antonym
• A two finger point to a body part translates to an attribute
• A one foot stance is plural; cross legged sitting is a definite article
• He signals 9 words. The first four are one sentence. Your answer should come out to a coherent statement
• Check his feet whenever you think he’s signaling a noun to see if its plural
• Athvar does not perfectly face the camera and occasionally turns around. Try to think of what a position would look like from a different angle
• You’re specifically shown that Give and Steal can be communicated by reversing the other word, but that’s true of all two position moves
• He never sits down, so there’s no The’s
• Arthvar does ten distinct poses. If he is encoding nine words, then one and only one them is a double pose word
