The game’s afoot…

Tweaks needed: By “shuffling the rocky base of Kejajo”, I picture the lad moving rocks around which is almost certainly not what you intended. Also, consider inserting a comma in “we a” in the only place where it occurs.

Ha-ha! ‘Shuffling’, I didn’t think of that. Again, my condensing process gets the better of me. – Ah, and with the fix, I have space left for the comma! :) Thank you, August. And thanks for note that brought me back…

The game is indeed afoot!

Wow. This whole thread has been amazingly written. And I shamelessly grin to think my small ficly started it. :P
