Dawn of Man (Orders)

[Heterological]

Zian sighed, putting his mind to the day's tasks. Last night's grief was terrible, yes. But they had things to do. He had been told of the clam in one of the yam pits, and of the usefulness of the mud there. He got up; their food was scarce; they only had enough to last three days. That would not do. He would need to make his way towards the shore; that was where his tribe would thrive. Forming a plan in his head, he nodded to himself and started issuing orders to his tribe.

ORDERS

1. 3 units of people, each armed with a sloth claw and with their faces lightly painted with clay, go back to the clay-flats. They attempt to get the giant yam, knowing its location from their previous expedition. If they fail, they will instead focus on finding fruits, like before, along with medicinal plants, now armed with sharp blades to cut through stems more quickly. They will also gather some clay.

2. 1 person and Zian head in the direction of their fires, looking for damaged trees or charred wood to use for firewood.

3. 1 person takes the remaining sloth claws and attempts to sharpen them to the best of his ability, using rocks.

The Rion move and set up camp three units east of their current location.

Day One

Matri Midiwi looked outside at the coming day from the gracious grotto her people had stayed the night in, allowing the guards to rest for a moment. She could see most of the valley from where she was taking note of the forest to the south as well as a mountain to the east. This cave had been a hospitable home for the night but the mountain would undoubtedly be safer as well as put distance between them and the Scraol. Squinting her eyes she also noticed small structures to the southeast. She began to formulate a plan for the day as the rest of the tribe stirred behind her.

Matri Midwi gathered the ash, the only remnants of the once brave blaze that had protected them from the savage Scraol, placing it with other resources they still had, it's usefulness unknown yet but waste not want not. They would gather food from the cliffs before setting off, generations of their people had lived within the stone so they would have no problems finding nourishment. No bird nests were too high, no goat too quick, they would find food today.

The shattering of the tribes and the chase through the clay flats no doubt had left her people with scars, maybe not physically but mentally. They would need comfort from each other and their families so Matri Midwi made sure the worst got just that, allowing them to spend time with partners and lovers or to start new relationships, all to give them a reason to forget and live life. A few extra grandkids or nieces and nephews wouldn't hurt either. Should we make sure to have the forceps ready, drawing it across the bellies of all the woman who partaked.

She was thankful they had saved as many children as they did, as well as others. But no young sapling deserves to be crushed before it has been given a chance to grow. The gathering parties would take some of the new children with them, her people teaching them the ways of her tribe among the cliffs and she had no doubt these children could teach her family a thing or two about the forests. She made a mental note to let her oldest son lead one of the gathering parties in the forest, so his youngest sister could not dangle her earlier success with the Dark Wood over him. But she was thankful that she had found it. That Dark Wood undoubtedly saved their lives last night.

Matri Midwi would go with the gathering party into the woods, keeping a close eye on the "settlement" nearby. They would skirt around it, staying well within the fringes as they headed to the mountains in the east. It could be populated but with the Scraol from last night lurking around as well as the "other" thing, a quick shudder passing through the massive matriarch, and no real weapons to defend themselves with, she couldn't take the chance just yet of finding out.

With the new wood they would hopefully gather, they would craft the weapons they needed to protect themselves once they had arrived at the mountain. Any sooner might give the wrong impression to anything living within the buildings on the cusp of the forest and cliffs. The gazelle horns were sharp and strong, perfect for keeping predators at bay like their former owners undoubtedly found. All they needed now was more wood to seat them on and vines or sap to bind them to it.


Orders

2 units gather food from the cliffs (People of the Cliffs trait used)
1 Unit performs fertility rituals (Perk used)
2 Units gather wood from the forest (also looking for vines and sap)
1 Unit crafts weapons (1 unit of wood consumed, 1 unit of gazelle horns consumed)

Kin Tribe moves south 1 tile, northeast 1 tile then east 1 tile

 

[Eliasdagood]

Anya is pleased that so many of her people survived the attack. But they’re not out of the woods yet, so to speak. “Alright. We need to be ready to build a fire when darkness comes. We can only hope this won’t happen again. However, we also need to be sure of our food supply. Once each team returns, we must begin moving again.”

Spoiler: Orders

2 units will spear fish in the river, while three will search the forest for wood. The Cavara then move three squares east.

Night 1

Viper looked among her tribe and smiles a bit "I should apologize to my hunters for asking of you to do two tasks at once. I apologize that it was such a rough day for you and i will not make this mistake in the future. But you did well to bring back the food you had. Tonight those that Hunted will Focus their effort on shaping the bones we have into hardened gathering tools. I will cast Bone Shape to assist

[Karcen]

Night 1, Bonereapers heralds of the scion

Deyas was intrigued by the fallen scion, the being seemed to be one of the dead, but she distrusted it some given it had not been human. Still she assumed it was some local spirit instead of a none humans, thus she had little real hate of it, the scion could be dealt with as if it were any other spirit and it might help them. Deyas would need to test what gifts it could give before she told told the other tribes. Still the tribe was doing well and already they were adapting with the valley, with the latest hunt bringing in lots of food and the finding of the great dead creature the honored dead were truly with them. Deyas wanted to raise peoples spirits more and perhaps save more people that might somehow have been separated from them. There was also the obvious matter of making a fire to keep the creatures of night at bay, Deyas had a few ideas as to other ways to keep them away but she needed more power to do so, and for power she needed time and more people. All things would take time, for now Deyas just needed to gather people and learn about the valley.

Just before sundown Deyas would gather her tribe for her orders, that way they could get everything going before night truly came. " While the tribes are scattered we remain, the honored dead have blessed us with bountiful food and a large supply of bone beyond what we could ever want" Deyas started listing the good things that had happened already " Already the spirits of this place have spoken to use and offered their favors for offerings. The other tribes have reached out to join together once more, we are scattered but not broken or defeated" Deyas continued to a cheer from her people. " Tonight we will hold a feast in celebration so our voices might call out to those still lost and gather them together" She said to another louder cheer " We will build a large fire to cook our meat so the smell might let all know where to come and the light keep the monsters at bay. We will also use the monster bone from the giant to make weapons to fight against those same creatures and we shall call out to the scion and see what the spirit of this place will offer" Deyas finished dismissing her people to get to work for the feast tonight.

Spoiler: some feats music

orders:

1. 3 units of wood will be used to make a fire this night
2. A feast will be held this night to attract more people
3. using 1 unit of monster bone weapons will be made using bone shaping.

5. Research the soul side of bone devotion magic.

Night 1, The Blood Tribe

"Night is coming. The time where predators roam the lands and prey cower like fools." Strygwyr stares at the setting sun as his eyes momentarily turn red. "We shall settle as prey for now...but not too long." He walked away and returned to convene the elders to give orders to the tribe.

"I'm sure you all felt something strange from that red stone." Strygwyr stared at the Blood Cauldron and the Elders followed his glance. "Tonight, we will investigate its use. I shall give further orders to the rest of the tribe but that will be your tasks for the night."

He walked away and walked towards the rest. "3 Wood will be burned tonight. 2 will be used for the bonfire while we will test 1 unit of wood to make those torches that Gelrakes showed us. We will place them around the tribe and see if the fire is enough to ward off the Scraol. As for how long it lasts, one torch will be placed further away beforehand to see how long it lasts so we wouldn't get caught off guard if ever they get put out. "

"I also want a unit to process the black stone we found and turn it into spears. And lastly, tonight a blood ceremony will be conducted. We will thank the Flayed Twins, spirits, and other supernatural being out there for our survival and we will ask for their continued protection and guidance. Afterward, we will commune with the Scion and make our offerings."

Orders:
1. 1 Unit is tasked to Investigate the Red Gem, finding any uses or applications.
2. 1 Unit will use the obsidian and wood to make spears(Using the Inspiration to make superior weapons from watching Viper and her tribe)
3. 1 Unit will use 3 units of wood to light up the night. 2 Units of wood will be used in the Bonfire with 1 unit turned into torches with the fire liquid and placed in a perimeter around the camp.
4. 1 Unit will wear the bloodied clothes, bloodied Jewelry Adornment(From the Cauldron), and then paint themselves in blood and perform a tribal ceremonial dance in front of the Bonfire and Blood Cauldron.
5. Strygwyr will commune with The Scion and offers up a unit of Malachite and a bottle of the treasured blood from the Blood Cauldron as well as a fair amount of his own blood and the blood of the ceremonial women.
6. Elders research new applications of blood or blood magic. They intend to discover ways to use the blood to increase the physical abilities of their tribesmen using the samples from the Blood Cauldron.

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

"Baatar returns!" His followers yelled as they approached the Niislel camp, scattering to their loved ones to without a doubt tell them about the Crimson Bat and how Baatar had survived the deadly encounter while recovering Tundug's body and a piece of the Great Flint. Rumors began to spread throughout the camp, which Baatar let spread. Rather, he calmly organized workers to light a bonfire for the night and prepare dinner. Once night fell upon the camp, Baatar stood up before the bonfire and spoke "Today, I have spoken with an Ancient One. The Crimson Bat was there when our people once stood tall among the Ancients. Yet, the Crimson Bat is NOT a being who will restore our former glory. No, rather it seeks to test us, and despite the achievements of the mighty Tundug, the Ancient One found Tundug lacking. I have met with the Crimson Bat and have recovered the body of Tundug and a piece of the Great Flint as a sign of goodwill from the Ancient One. The Crimson Bat challenges us and wishes to see us RISE from our timorous wretchedness. The stories are both true and false. Our ancestors were once great and mighty, but not because of the whim of a higher power. They have built their own legacy with their own hands. They did not fear the night for the night feared them. Thus, I ask of you to stand. Stand against the encroaching darkness and face it. I, Baatar, the Tailed One, will lead the way to our birthright!"

After the short speech, Baatar found a spot next to the fire and took out the piece of the Great Flint that he obtained from the Crimson Bat. Each of the tribes had a piece of the Great Flint and magic was manifested through it. The Niislel's devotion to blood was due to their piece of the Great Flint. Yet... the Great Flint was once whole. This begged the question... could the pieces of the Great Flint be reunited? The camp was busy as some people worked to prepare Tundug's body. They drained his blood and ritualistically added it to some water then each member took a sip of the sanguine water so that his blood would continue to run through the survivors. It was a way to honor a deceased chieftain, accomplished warrior or any person of merit as it indicated that their blood was precious and that by consuming it their blood would continue to flow through the people. Tonight was the first night that they faced. The first of many.

---

Summary/Orders:

1. Baatar studies the piece of the Great Flint that presumably Tundug once held to see if it could be reunited with his own fragment of the Great Flint

2. A campfire of 1 Unit of Wood is made, if possible, they will also use some of the Crimson Bat's guano as additional fuel
1 Unit of Wood, Crimson Bat Guano, 1 Unit of People to maintain it

3. Tundug's remains are ritualistically drained of any remaining blood, honored, and then cremated so that his spirit may pass on and not linger in torment from his terrible death. His powerful blood symbolically runs through the tribe who ritualistically drink the blood of the Chieftain (think along the lines of a blood oath and blood brothers).
2 Units of People

4. Creation of tools from the sharp and heavy stones brought from the north and the gazelle antlers
2 Units of People w/ 1 Unit of Quality Bone Tools, 1 Unit of Stone, 1 Unit of Gazelle Antlers

5. The elders study/research the Origin Stone and the new "constellations" that have appeared upon the runes

6. A feast will be held to honor the tribe's ancestors and legacy for the lost tribe has returned to their rightful homes.
10 Units of Food

 

[Twist]

Night One
(6 food consumed)

Matri Midwi watched as the flames danced, her tribe stoking the fire into a blaze that would keep them safe from the Scraol even though it would take nearly all the wood that they had gathered today. She had been tempted to use the Darkwood her daughter had found again, it's long lasting light and sheltering shadow a definite boon for these dangerous times. But could there be more to it? Why had it been so useful? She had left the Darkwood with the elders to discuss and hopefully learn it's hidden secret.

She lifted the Soapstone from her lap, holding it towards the bonfire as she examined the softer stone, being careful not to crush it with her powerful hands. This too would need looking into as it could prove useful and her people were masters of the stone so they would undoubtedly find a use for it. But one job at a time. Hopefully if it proved useful, her people would find more of it when they gathered stone. Already her people had been making tools to help with the endeavour, much as they had done with the spears earlier which were now used by the watchman who fed the fire. Where as these were made from bone these tools were to be made from stone but in much the same way, as what is better to dislodge and gather stone then stone itself?

And stone was surely stronger than wood so the Kin tribe had also started to shape their other lot of stone into tools as well to help gather wood for the coming days as every night would need a fire. But hopefully not forever, the massive matriarch brooded. These stone tools would not be as refined as their other hand made brethren, merely sharpened rocks to hack away branches or topple crippled trees. But they would have other uses, Matri Midwi was sure.

She examined the Soapstone more carefully as her body warmed by the fire.


Orders:

1 Unit makes a fire (3 units of wood consumed)
1 Unit makes stone gathering tools (1 Unit of stone, 1 Unit of vines consumed (depleted), 1 unit of wood consumed)
1 Unit makes wood gathering tools (1 Unit of stone consumed (depleted))
1 Unit researches Darkwood
1 Unit researches Soapstone

 

[Prince Vaethorion]

Night One

The first priority was to make the night's fire. This was routine . Hidden Guards and look outs were set up around perimeter prepared to call out if intruders were near. The Tribe never slept too deep, and were always ready to fight or flee if need be. Once around the fire, the Tribe continued their day's work. More tools would be made. Some traps would be set out nearby for food, and nets set out for fish. Plans would be made. Training would be done. Stories would be told to entertain and learn. The tribe stays near the fire. Then when the time came, some sleep would be earned.

The day was bountiful, The Goddess smiled on River Too Deep's People. River turned to his Priestess Woman Lily of the Lake, "These Skraoul hurt my heart. They create pain and fear. I am tired of running, of being prey like a small rabbit chased by a fox. We must learn more about them to find what hurts them, what kill them."

Priestess Lily of the Lake replied solemnly, "We must catch one, to examine.". Rivers Too Deep asked reluctantly "Alive?". Priestess "Live good, dead is safer". River too Deep nodded. "We will catch one in a trap". Priestess responded, "yes, that is wise."
River so Deep, said to the wise ones around him, the master hunter, the medicine man, the Matriarch and the water lovers, "We must trap one, in a death trap, and it must be hidden, the fallen from the other monsters. I will work with our trappers, you Lily of the Lake, tell me what we need to kill the beast, to prevent it from crying out, we will try to prepare a poison to put on spikes in a pit trap. You will also work on a poison to put one to sleep for another time when we are ready to capture one alive. Now we kill one. This will be good for our people to see. We cannot live like hunted animals all our living days".

Orders:

1 1 Unit and Water Elemental (used for guard duty) makes fire uses Three units of Wood Fire is tended through out the night. Torches are set out. Fire Tenders double as guards/look outs, in shifts.
2 1 Unit makes more tools/weapons with Mammoth bone and stone primarily spears and axes. Using fine tools, fiber, sharpened rocks and bone. 2 units of bone and 1 unit of stone used.
3 1 Unit uses Nets to catch fish leaves nets overnight to trap fish that are likely to pass through.
4 Lily of the Lake, the Priestess, other elders researches Poisons to poison/drug Scraol and other creatures.
5 1 unit makes basic, clothes light armor from the Mammoth fur and hide using knives, ligament, using 2 unit of Mammoth fur/hide
6 River Too Deep trains with his warriors to use water magic for offensive purposes, using the new knowledge they learned from others.

 

[Eliasdagood]

Anya is very worried as night falls and the Cavara are forced closer and closer to the clan of Zian. This is no good. Two thirds of their gathered wood will go to the fire, and she looks to the sky in fear of what is to come. For now though, she will focus on something she has glimpsed in visions. Fish dried over a flame to drive evil spirits out, that resists rot.

Spoiler: Orders

2 units tend to the fire (4 wood consumed)
3 units stand watch
The elders of the tribe research a way to cook fish to make it last longer.

 

[Heterological]

Night 1

Zian smiled. His people had brought back food, and they had discovered a strange wood in the forest. He would need to study the wood; it could be used to make all sorts of tools. His tribe had done well, and they were in a good position. However, there was the more pressing matter of the two tribes. They had camped on the same spot, and their fire would need to be big to keep the Scraol away.

1. 1 unit creates and tends a fire using 3 wood -2 wood
2. Feast! The Rion tribe spends 10 food to attract more units. -10 food
3. 1 unit attempts to make more sloth lances or other weapons.
4. 2 units collect stones suitable to make tools.
5. 1 unit researches the properties of Sacred wood.

-5 food

Day 2, The Blood Tribe

The tribe was somber while treating their injured with Blood Heal. Strygwyr's face was full of anger with a tinge of regret with the elders trying to console him. He picked up his new stead and stood up to announce, "What happened last night was unfortunate. Such is the fate of the weak before the mighty. We, the humans of the Blood Tribe are weak but one day we will put the Scraol and all creatures in this valley under our heels! Pick up your spears! Today we are predator! Let us show the creatures of this forest the anger and vigor of The Blood Tribe!"

"Perform your tasks with rage and determination! We will have our victories, glory, and power in the future.!"

Orders:
1. Strygwyr and a unit of warriors rush out into the wood to hunt for prey with their expertise in the forest. They cast Strength of Sinew and go full-on berserk on their prey. Injuries will be healed through blows by Leeching Touch and the blood of their prey with Blood Heal. They will collect everything they can from their prey. Strygwyr brought the twins, Left and Right along with the hunting team to train them.
2. 1 Unit will cast Strength of Sinew and head to the forest areas to focus on acquiring wood and use their forest expertise if need be. They can pick up whatever they can on the way but their main focus is wood.
3. 1 Unit(weakened) will cast Strength of Sinew to retrieve and investigate the blue and red mushrooms and then other nearby resources if they have sufficient time and energy. One of them is also gonna throw out the Scion meat blob into the river.
4. 1 Unit(injured but healed through Blood Heal) will cast Strength of Sinew to pick up the stone discovered on the previous day and see if they can pick up additional resources in the ruins.
5. The Elders of the Blood Tribe conducts joint research with the Cavara of The Shore to create a new spell that would generate a thick and expansive Fog/Mist in their area to hide their tribe. The Fog will fog(no pun intended) the senses to make intruders lost while also giving them negative effects(from the blood side). This is an effort to create strategic/large-scale defensive magic to make at least even a single night safer. Eliasdagood

Previous Decision Points
1. The Blood Gem(as what the tribe calls it) is given to a pair of twins(if we have any otherwise just siblings) who are to be cultivated to become fine warriors and future leading figures of the tribe.
2. The Blood Tribe temporarily has -1 morale.
3. Strength of Sinew is learned.

Movements:
The tribe moves two tiles east and then 1 tile northeast.

Messages:
A message was sent to Bataar and Matri Midwi inviting them to converge tomorrow night for cultural, research, and other purposes. The Tribes of Blood will unite once again and share the night. This will be the biggest intertribal gathering since the One People Camp. The tribes will celebrate, embrace their cultures, share their knowledge, copulate, and many more. The actual details of the encampment will be discussed the next day.

DAY 2

Last night had been among the darkest of nights as the smoke suffocated the people, yet kept them hidden in the night from the Scraol. Counting their blessings, the Niislel were ecstatic to see the light of dawn as it brought them safely into the new day. A feast was held to celebrate the coming of age within the tribe and several strangers who came to the tribe. Though they were strangers, they were fellow brethren. The Origin Stone had expanded the wisdom and insight of the tribe. It seemed that all life was connected... more than they had all thought. Yet, for the secrets to reveal themselves... the stone demanded MORE. With the difficult day beyond them, the tribe set off to work once more in this new and yet old valley, but with some... caution. As the parties sent out to work for the day began to head to the river, the one place where they would feel like that they were at home. However, one man could be seeing running to the north from the camp. With him, a message to one of the few friends of the Niislel and Baatar.

It was a message sent to Matri Midwi. Baatar dictated to the messenger his message:

"Matri Midwi, last night, I encountered the darkest of nights. One that was even darker than the night of our massacre. Even the fire could barely be seen from an arm's length away. By sheer luck, we did not have the Scraol come and wreck chaos in the camp. Yet, the emergency has proven to me even further that we must be able to help and rely on each other, our fellow brothers and sisters, our own kind when it comes to the Scraol. Divines forbid that I or you were attacked last night by the Scraol. Where would our people run to? I personally ask you, Matri Midwi, will you join the Confederation so that we may rely on each other and promise to help each other in the face of the monstrous Scraol? With friend and allies, even in the darkest of nights, there is nothing to fear."

---

Orders:

1. A party is sent to the riverbank to explore for/search and gather/catch food such as fish, wild rice, crabgrass/edible grains/grasses (grows near streams) and blue elderberries/edible berries (wild berries often grow near water). Maybe they can hunt down weary/tired animals drinking by the river?
3 Units of people, 1 Unit of Excellent Iron Dwarven Mining Tools, People of the River, Mighty Blood

2. Another party is also sent to the riverbank to explore/look for and gather wood, particularly from willow trees. The two parties are to work together by informing the other party of information that could help with each other's tasks.
2 Units of People, 1 Unit of heavy, sharp, quality tools, focus of the axe (bonus to wood gathering), People of the River, Mighty Blood

3. To garner more information about their past and learn more about the area, Baatar leads an expedition to the ruins to the north west to explore the area to see if they find anything interesting or anything that could help them continue to dig deeper into the Origin Stone's mysteries and powers.
Baatar, Origin Stone, Fragment of the Great Flint, 1 Unit of People, 1 Unit of Excellent Iron Dwarven Mining Tools (in case they find a need to excavate stuff/backup weapons), Mighty Blood

4. The elders conduct further research to expand the tribe's insight into blood magic

5. Research is also conducted on a new spell in partnership with the Zian. The concept is the ability to cast a "purifying fire" by combining the Niislel knowledge and understanding of the spell lesser banish and of the inspiration/use of cremation to cleanse Tundug's spirit with the Zian's devotion to fire and knowledge on how to summon fire elementals to summon forth a supernatural fire.

Diplomacy: Baatar sends Matri Midwi a personal message, asking her to join the Confederation so that all tribes can rely on each other in this conflict against the Scraol.

 

[Karcen]

Day 2, Bonereapers heralds of the scion

Night had come and gone the monster of the night far from the tribe and new people had come to the banner of the bonereapers. Still Deyas wondered if any other tribes aside from those she knew of had survived. That was a question to be answered another day for now the tribe had to move and restock, as the feast had cost them a lot of food but at least new powers had come and they had even figured out another branch of their devotion the very darkness that hid their enemies would become their ally. Still there was much to do The skeletal Amazons were nearby, almost shadowing them, they could be told of the new magics that had been revealed in the night. While it was always a risk to reveal the secrets one had learned, they both shared a devotion to the dead even if the amazons did not treat all as equal. Deyas did wonder how far they could push this shadow magic, what could it do as the tribe had always devoted itself to the dead making this all very new. There would be time for contemplations latter for now survival was key, Deyas would think about if and maybes latter.

"We come to see another day and the dead have gifted us new knowledge, the long dead come to our aid, and now the ally of our enemy the dark will become our tool" Deyas said casting the darkness spell to show the tribe their new power. "We grow in power, yet still there is work to be done, the feast has brought more to the fold, but it has depleted our stocks of food and fires burn as much wood as we gathered, but now the bones of the dead provide the tools for the living to survive" She said holding aloft one of the monster bone weapons. " We gather for today so we can last through the night call upon the honored dead to aid in your tasks so you might gather more. " She finished.

orders:

1. three units will take quality bone weapons and go hunting using Empower dead to call forth the dead to carry any game that they can not themselves.
2. 2 units will take quality bone tools and gather wood casting Empower dead to call skeletons to aid them in harvesting wood and transporting it to camp, the would also use their expertise in the forest to know what best to gather.
3. 1 unit will take monster bone tools and gather monster bone using the tools and bone shaping to make the bone easier to carry along with casting Empower dead to call for skeletons to help carry more monster bone back to camp.
4. Using their free time the elders would be tasked with further researching the spells form the night before they would focus on giving the spell Darkness a solid form They would use Spirit calling to speak with their recently slain fellows instead of working just with the those that were living.
5. Deyas would spend her time in meditation using Spirit calling to speak with the honored dead to attempt to learn how to manipulate souls pulling them forth and binding them or unbinding them from the living body.

Movement:
The tribe will move one tile east, then one tile south east , then one tile north east.

 

[Twist]

Day Two

The last night had proved fruitful. Very fruitful indeed. Great tools were made skilled in working wood and stone. This was surely due to their latest additions, proven adept within the forest as well as her own people's knowledge of stone. And their research had uncovered so much possibilities. Ones they would use to their fullest.

The dark wood spirit drink the elders.. , she laughed to herself quietly at the thought, ... her peers had come up with was definitely fascinating and she looked forward to it. Would it help with mothers giving birth? Conception? It would definitely need to be researched soon once they had gathered more of it. They would seek dark wood once more with their newfound knowledge as it was an exceptional resource.

The cherished chieftain was tempted to turn the soapstone into an effigy of the wood even though it was insisted by her dear friend to be of her in all her splendour. But who would want to stare at her weathered features all day. Then again a statue of a piece of wood did seem a bit silly now that she thought about it. So she was still undecided about what to do with the soapstone, at least that is what she told everyone. Her idea would be a surprise.

So groups would be sent out to gather wood and food to the southwest near the village, which Matri Midwi was still interested in. There had been no signs of life, no movement, no sounds, nothing when they had gathered nearby. But something still nagged at her. They would have to actually enter the village to get answers. They would come in peace even though they had no idea if the village was populated. The gathering parties would go and explore after they had foraged. That way they would have gifts if need be as well as an excuse to have their spears in case things went awry. Her daughters would lead these parties and go with their mother, as they would be far less threatening then her three strapping boys but no less capable.

A large group would explore the mountain they had slept below. Her people were more than capable to climb it but it's true size was still a mystery. They would look for hidden caverns to spend the night in but any secret uncovered would be of interest. They weren't of course expected to scale the whole mountain. She scoffed at such an idea. But still if they started earlier they would hopefully get far up the mountain.

Matri Midwi would send a party to explore the massive stone head carved into the cliffs to the east. It's purpose was unclear to her and surely it was not made by human hands. Or was it? But if it wasn't why did it look like her people? Their ancestors? Or ancient beings similar to them? These questions fuelled her need for answers and they were more than likely to head near it in the coming days. Better to investigate now then to leave it for chance later.


Orders:

2 Units explore the mountain with bone spears (People of the Cliffs trait used?)
1 Unit gathers food to the Southwest with bone spears
1 Unit gathers wood to the Southwest with specialized tools (Finding Darkwood/ Focus of the Axe used)
1 Unit explores the village to the Southwest with bone spears
1 Unit explores the cliff face to the Northeast/ East with bone spears (People of the Cliffs trait used?)

 

[Prince Vaethorion]

Day 2
The Lost Tribe of the Waters was grateful for the day to come. The Nights were full of terrors and this entered the dreams of their people. The Tribe knew it had to keep moving to throw off the scent of those who hunted them. The tools were welcomed by the Tribe, and they gave some tribute of their fish to their Goddess. The Chieftains in their wisdom decided to go with sophisticated axe/spears for now. The bounty of fish was welcome and the tribe opted to cultivate the 12 units of food and allow the eggs to remain for future spawnings. The fish they would smoke at night with the wood they gathered. The wisdom of the Lily of the Lake would be adhered to. They would venture to the coast east to explore for resources. They would seek out river animals to make blankets from to keep their people warm at night. The tribe would focus on making dug out canoes for all their people to travel. The word of Dwarves was met with great excitement. The legends that Dwarves love gold, brought the idea to bring gold to the Dwarves to trade. River Too Deep would go himself to parlay.

The Day would be busy. They would go out to gather resources, contact the Dwarves, and build. The tribe is ordered to return early enough to go to their new campsite across the river. Where the Unit gathering wood would have the wood gathered.

Orders: (all units armed with spear/axes)
1 unit and water elementals using tools and Axes,the Focus of the Axe goes south across the river to gathers hard wood for making fires to smoke fish and for nighttime fire. They will gather wood for the nights fire. They Go Set up camp South of the (Blue Tribe on Map).

1 Unit armed with Light armor scouts South across the River at the special interest (2 west of Blue Tribe). explores area near river bank for resources to cultivate.

2 Units go South to the River to fish for more spawning fish. They keep eye open for other resources, like shells, special rocks, special terrain features, caves, coves. They draw basic map by burning symbols into them.

1 Unit hunts for Mammals at the River.

River Too Deep goes to parlay with the Dwarf and bring gold to trade with dwarves for knowledge and/or technology.

DAY 2

Last night was a success. The Scraol had been kept at bay, they had attracted foreign tribesmen and had gotten another through rites, and the Rion had made tools and more. Zian was satisfied with the day, and the day would be spent hunting and gathering for tools and meat. Rumor had also spread of dwarven creatures on the cliffs, but that could wait until later. Their second day would be filled with hunting and gathering. Zian would have to consult with the foreigner for information at night.

ORDERS:
The tribe moves 1 square southeast, and 2 squares south.
2 tribesmen and Zian go searching for herd animals in the clay pits, armed with sloth lances, and attempt to kill them, first by using fire seeds to break up herd cohesion and then targeting lone animals to attack. They look to find horns and meat.
3 tribesmen look for firewood in the forest tile west of their campsite.
2 tribesmen search for suitable rocks for tools.
Elders try researching a fire/blood spell. They seek the ability to cast a purifying fire by combining the Niislel knowledge and understanding of the spell lesser banish and of the inspiration/use of cremation to cleanse Tundug's spirit with the Zian's devotion to fire and knowledge on how to summon fire spirits.

Day 2:


A new day had dawned over the valley. Viper petted Raptora hearing her still call into the morning light for her potential mate. "We'll find him girl." She promised to her raptor. As the tribe began to move to the center to hear their leader speak, Viper gave no delay in planning out her orders. She turned to face her loyal Amazons and stood tall as she began to give her orders for the day

Ok Amazons. The night has proven fruitful, But now we must strive to do better from here on out. This means we must not lose our momentum. Here's today's plan of action!

Two teams will go out and look for Bellows. Raptora is growing worried.

One team will take the gathering bags and Bone Spears and go looking for viable food. If you kill a large animal, Bring back its bones as well.

One team will Search for stronger materials as we will be needing better tools eventually.

One team will go gather wood using the Quality Bone tools we have. Keep an eye out for that Dryad wood we discovered as well. The sap would be useful later on

We also must move soon. We will go South (Two Squares) And see how viable that place is."

Spoiler: Orders

Skeletal Amazons move two squares south
Two Units go searching for Bellows
One Unit goes looking for Food and Possibly Bones taking the Gathering bags and Bone Claws/Spears
One Unit goes searching for stronger materials for better weapons and tools. Perhaps stronger Bones.
One unit Gathers wood, keeping an eye out for Dryad wood

 

[Eliasdagood]

The Cavara move one square southeast, and one square east.

One unit scouts the area for new resources or features, two units fish, two search for wood, and one stays to set up camp in the new location.

Night 2

​

Baatar had come down from the slight "buzz" he had earlier in the day after meeting the odd Dwarf. His "drink" was some sort of odd brew that Baatar was not completely familiar with, but something that he was determined to recreate. It was a potion of courage that could give his people the faith and belief they needed to face the darkness. Yet, the components of the brew and the technique were things that he would have to discover on his own. He had turned the gourds into containers by hollowing them out and filled them with the crush mixtures of the various fruits and plants. One container only contained crushed melons. Another, only had some crushed berries. A third, had a mixture of the two, a fourth had a mixture of the fruits. Then another set of containers had the same as the first set, but with small amounts of Hag's Hair in each. Brewing was a strange process. Sometimes the product would become corrupted by rot instead of properly brewing. Thus, as a precaution, Baatar had a third set of test brews, which was the same as the second except it would later undergo some exposure to purefire to clear it of corruption to see if that helps form the drink. It was a test of patience and experimentation. Baatar would at times leave the containers to sit and watch the tribe work.

Today was a cheerful night. With all tribes joining the confederation, there was a sense of unity and safety... or at least enough to encourage the tribe to work with their own initiative. Some in the tribe set to work on the wet clay that they have received from the Gelrake Deal Shamans. The broken, yet beautiful shards of pottery served as an inspiration to create aesthetically pleasing products. Thus, the Niislel began to form the wet clay into pots with intricate carvings and smooth edges using chisels that the tribe obtained from the Dwarf. Others were crushing some of the viper nettle berries to turn them into a liquid color that would be used to paint the pots, which then were carefully placed near the bonfire to dry and harden into a final product. Baatar looked at one of the first pieces of pottery that were drying by the bonfire. One of the tribesmen were gently applying purefire on the pot to ritually purify it and to help evenly dry/harden the wet clay and paint. Baatar noticed the artwork. The carvings depicted a familiar sight, the Niislel celebrating their return to their ancestral homes and discovering their legacy after generations of trial and tribulations... all while being led by the "Tailed One".

Another group of tribesmen took it upon themselves to work on footwear to protect their feet and make trekking rough terrain an easier task. They ripped off the soft bark of a willow tree and began to weave them together into a platform that a foot could comfortably stand upon using the string that Coale taught the tribe to make. It was a simple design, but enough to help provide protection to the soles of the wary feet of the Niislel. They incorporated fish scales as a way to waterproof the sandals.

A final group of Niislel worked on an idea that had spawned in their brains. The atlatl that they saw for barter by the Gelrake spawned an idea. Tribesmen with longer arms were able to sling rocks further. Yet... the atlatl seemed to act as an artificial wooden arm to add length to a javelin, which allowed it to be thrown even further. Could a sling be tied to a staff or spear to achieve a similar result? It was a simple enough creation as the tribe was very familiar with slings. Yet, the extra arm length would in theory allow the Niislel to sling rocks with more force or even sling larger rocks. Thus, some tribesmen tried their hand at tying their slings to a long piece of wood that they whittled from willow wood. Then they began to practice with the staff sling, setting up targets such as nearby tree stumps and attempting to sling rocks at it. After several attempts, the tribesmen seemed to get used to using the staff sling and began to have small competitions as they pointed out different targets.

It did not take long before one of the tribesmen made a ball from a little bit of clay wrapped in leaves, and soft bark so that they could attempt to safely sling without worry of accidentally hurting someone. Thus, the tribesmen began to compete for the ball as they each attempted to swipe the ball from the others and quickly sling it at a target before someone else could whack the ball out of their staff sling. The chaotic jumble quickly turned organized as friends tried to protect their own friend from losing the ball while the others would attempt to knock down the ball and claim the ball for themselves. Each group of friends would try to help each other claim the ball so that it could be slung at a target. Two teams serendipitously formed as each tried to protect their respective "targets", a decent, head sized sized stone propped up on a stump that would have to be hit hard enough by the ball to be knocked down. Yet, the members of each team would have to coordinate with each other as the other team would do their best to disrupt and interrupt the ball bearer to cause them to drop the ball and attempt to steal it. It was a game of speed, accuracy and teamwork. The ball bearer had to be quick and accurate to quickly sling the ball at the target with enough force to knock it down while his teammates had to do their best to block the enemy with coordination. The team on defense would have to work together to make sure that the the ball bearer did not get an easy shot and try to get them to drop the ball or miss their target.

Ultimately, to Baatar this game seemed to be great practice for eventual combat as it forced the tribesmen to work together and helped them hone their skills with the weapon. This was no child's play despite being a game. Rather, instead of being a waste of time, Baatar saw it as a great and fun way to work off steam, build cohesion and practice with the new weapon. The Elders were even attempting to share their memories as they pricked their fingers, dipped them into catfish blood, and muttered incantations to bring up certain memories of their past. No doubt, if they mastered the spell, then they would have found a way to perfectly convey messages that could and would not be perverted or lost unlike those of oral history or of carvings. Even more interesting, expert hunters could share their knowledge to the youth. A young man in his prime could potentially be given the knowledge and experience of decades if this spell was properly used. Pleased with how the tribe kept themselves occupied this night, Baatar went back to check on his batch of experiments.

---

Bonfire: 3 Units of Wood + Purefire?

1. Creation of pottery, using inspiration from the beautiful broken pottery to decorate it with the story of the Niislel
2 Units of People, 2 Units of Wet Clay, 1 Unit of Viper Nettle Berries (for paint/color), Wood Ash (To make a glaze that will make the pottery water proof), Chisels (from Excellent Iron Dwarven Mining Tools to help shape the pottery and to carve in intricate designs), Bonfire, Purefire

2. Creation of footwear to facilitate walking/running using wood sinew/string, leaves and great catfish scales/skin
2 Units of People, 1 Unit of Willow Wood to turn into sinew/string, 1 Unit of Great Catfish Scales/Skin, 1 Unit of Heavy, Sharp, Quality Tools

3. Creation of spear slings, inspired by the atlatl to use a staff as extra leverage to throw larger rocks even further via sling tied to a staff that also has a spear head for close quarters combat... (Primitive lacrosse anyone?)
2 Units of People, 1 Unit of Willow Wood, 1 Unit of Granite, Slings, Excellent Iron Dwarven Mining Tools

4. Elders conduct research/experiments into using the spell Blood Thoughts to teach their wisdom and experience to the young, creating a more efficient way to preserve and pass on ancestral knowledge and experience within the tribe. Imagine if an elder, former, master huntsman could instantly share his decades of experience with a strong, young man. Indeed, the tribe could swiftly become filled with expert hunters.
Great Catfish Blood

5. Baatar experiments with newly discovered/gathered plants and fruits to create a brew of liquid courage/spirit
Baatar, 1 Unit of Melons/Gourds, 1 Unit of Viper Nettle Berries, 1 Unit of Hag's Hair, Purefire, Memory of Liquid Courage

Decisions for Day 2 Results:

1. Turn 2 Units of Viper Nettle into 3 units of berries and 1 Unit of Numbing Poison

2. Take the Great Elvenwood Arrow/Spear

3. Learn Blood Thoughts

4. Decline the invite for a blood unity ritual citing the fact that having three subtribes on top of each other would require a GIANT fire that will be dangerous and difficult to manage

Night 2
The day was bountiful but tiring. Strygwyr knows they can't keep up with this kind of daily activity as such would only tire the tribe. The tribe must have a sustainable way to retrieve resources without forsaking its overall effectiveness. He gave his orders and the tribe quickly made their moves to carry out their tasks.

Orders:

1.) 3 wood was used up to light a bonfire and then 2 units joined in to help cast the Red Haze around the camp to hide it from dangers.

2.)1 Unit creates tools(from 1 unit of monster bone, and 1 unit of stone and common wood) They are to use the inspiration of how the tools are made by the other tribes and what they saw from the dwarf's goods. They are also to make a tribe banner ward. The bird skulls were dipped in the great blood from the cauldron and attached to poles made of Elven Wood(1 unit) along with the bloody clothes(1 unit) for a vertical crimson flag to create something like a banner. It was placed around the edges of the camp and is believed to represent the blood tribe and act as a ward against those who seek to harm the tribe. The Elders were tasked to enchant the banner ward with their magic.

3. )1 Unit wears the blood enchanted jewelry which was nurtured in the Blood Cauldron for almost two days to perform a tribal ceremonial dance and calling. The Blood Tribe gives thanks to the Flayed Twins and the supernatural beings out there that contributed to their survival and asks for their continued protection and guidance and if possible they could make it apparent.... 10 Food, a significant amount of blood from the morning hunt, and bottles of blood from the Blood Cauldron were to be used up for this ceremony as offerings to attract friendly and helpful supernatural beings and possibly elevate some of their people.

4.) Strygwyr trains with Left and Right in combat. He wants them to effectively use their connections and unity as twins to fight efficiently. He also wants them to make full use of the Blood Gem. It is a strict training for the twins with blood and sweat but is fulfilling since they are being trained by the greatest warrior in the tribe. Strygwyr wants to develop them as champions and pillars of the tribe. It also serves as training for Strygwyr as he is constantly honing his skills and reviewing the fighting methods/skills of the tribe from the previous battles and improving on it so he can impart it to the tribesmen. They need to be efficient and effective in their ways of killing and hunting.

5.) The Elders attempt to research a method to use blood magic to enchant the senses(eyes, ears, nose) of the tribesmen to allow them to perceive blood and life for hunting or searching purposes. This will also make it easier for them to sense prey or lifeforms for defensive purposes.

Previous Decision Points:
1. 3 Units of Common Wood and 2 Units of Elven Wood

Resource Consumption:
14 Units of Food
4 Units of Common Wood
1 Unit of Stone
1 Unit of Elven Wood
1 Unit of Monster Bone
Significant Amount of Blood from the Morning Hunts
Bottles of Blood from the Blood Cauldron

Night Two
(6 food consumed)

Today had been eventful to say the least. And long.

Witches, Ant lions and Kobolds, and not forgetting the handsome young gentlemen callers that had paid her tribe a visit and helped save her daughters live. Each one was a messenger from the nearby Blood Tribes who had been looking for the Kin. And it was lucky they did. The melancholy mother shuddered at the thought of losing her youngest daughter to that wretched thing. But now he was dead by their hands. A sad circumstance as they had come in peace but tyrants like Kzer-Hai always take advantage of peace and try to twist it to their whim. She was glad he was dead. There would be no mention of this to the children of the Kin Tribe, she wanted her people to see her for what she truly is, a gentle mother and not a warrior queen as she proved today. Her people, her beloved family, did her proud.

Another group of explorers had arrived worst for wear as well. With their wind whipped bodies in much need of warmth, warm clothes would be made with the gazelle hide they had been carrying as well as the needles from the grubs but in the mean time, their lovers and partners would warm them, their naked bodies giving them the heat they needed. And of course, it would most likely lead to other things as their temperatures rose, the odds now increased due to the "Dwarven Techniques" she had been taught and now shared with the tribe. She would make sure to have the Forceps to hand.

After she had checked on her dozing daughter earlier she met with the runners who had hung around to deliver their messages, now that the worst was over. The first one had a very important message from the her friend, the benevolent Baatar. "Matri Midwi, last night, I encountered the darkest of nights. One that was even darker than the night of our massacre. Even the fire could barely be seen from an arm's length away. By sheer luck, we did not have the Scraol come and wreck chaos in the camp. Yet, the emergency has proven to me even further that we must be able to help and rely on each other, our fellow brothers and sisters, our own kind when it comes to the Scraol. Divines forbid that I or you were attacked last night by the Scraol. Where would our people run to? I personally ask you, Matri Midwi, will you join the Confederation so that we may rely on each other and promise to help each other in the face of the monstrous Scraol? With friend and allies, even in the darkest of nights, there is nothing to fear." He recalled the message with great skill, every word memorised and definitely a man who thought every word of his chieftain to be sacred. And she would gladly join now. This Coalition had saved her daughters life.

The other was the strong and silent type, most likely from a tribe of fierce warriors. His message came from Strygwyr, inviting the tribes of Blood to converge tomorrow night and unite once again to share the night. The tribes will celebrate, embrace their cultures, share their knowledge, copulate, and much more. This proposition certainly interested Matri Midwi and so she eagerly agreed wanting to get to know the man Strygwyr. With their messages delivered, the men went to leave but the motherly matriarch insisted they stay the night. They could return tomorrow in the light of day, well rested among her family. They gave each other a look, knowing that their duty to their own tribes came first, but Matri Midwi gave her own look and the matter was quickly settled.

The two messengers that had come seemed to lighten the mood of her people, their unfamiliar faces intriguing the children leading to many questions as well as their strong, toned bodies being an attractive sight for the ladies of the tribe especially her oldest daughter. She had stared at them with such incredible intensity, undoubtedly fuelled with adrenaline as well as the fact that these men helped save her sleeping siblings life. When she herself spied one of the messengers, tired from his days trek as well the many questions he undoubtedly endured, suddenly spring up, his back straight and the veins bulging below his skin coinciding with the sudden appearance of her oldest daughter who began to lead him away, her hand gripped tightly around his arm, Matri Midwi could infer what she had been planning. The other ladies soon pounced on the last messenger. The two heroes of the Blood Tribes would be busy tonight.

The Elders too would be busy as they set about crafting the Darkwood Spirit Drink. It had made some rather silly the night before as they experimented on the Darkwood. And with such an arduous day, a bit of merriment would not go amiss when they had finished.

All of this had lead the concerned Chieftain to use the Darkwood tonight for the bonfire, the fire tenders once more armed with spears as they continued their watch, taking every precaution to wet the wood correctly before placing it on the fire. There would be no risks taken tonight.

To relax herself Matri Midwi began to carve the soapstone, inscribing the names of her people onto it for prosperity. A day like this proved how fragile life can be, with her already etching the names of her children, Olso, Eldau, Mibo, Youla and Babgi on it. She took great care with each inscription so each name would be legible and understandable. All who had come before and all those to come would be carved into the rock, her people etched into history itself. With all that was going on, there would be many new names to carve into the soft stone before the night was out.


Orders:

1 Unit armed with Bone Spears lights a fire ( Three Darkwood consumed)
2 Unit performs Fertility Rituals (Perk used)
2 Unit researches Mighty Blood
1 Unit crafts Fur Armour (One unit of Gazelle Hide consumed (depleted), One unit of needles consumed (depleted))
Matri Midwi crafts Soapstone Images (One unit of Soapstone consumed (depleted))
Elders research Darkwood Spirit Drink (1 unit of Darkwood consumed?)

 

[Karcen]

Night2, Bonereapers heralds of the scion

The discovery of the dead elders fading was disturbing to say the least something in the valley seemed to be trying to steal away the dead from their afterlife. It would seem something more evil than their enemies dwelled in this valley and would have to be gotten rid of. Deyas could not abide the idea something man or god would act such and no matter she would have to stop it. Right now that was sadly just a dream as they could not even save the elders, but tomorrow they might be able to Ba'lal would teach them to bind and unbind souls and the offering to him was almost done, just the skull remained. he had asked for the finest skull in the tribe, but he had not asked for any specifics, he had not even asked for a human skull, just the finest skull and thus Deyas would make him that desired skull. With that they would need only vessels to bind the elders to, they would not have to be big, just be anchors and those could be made, everything would be ready and by tomorrow night all things should be ready to save the elders. Deyas would not mention this to other tribes, not even their fellow bone tribe for to her this was a private matter despite perhaps affecting other tribes. They might all be allies and even be in a coalition, but they were not unified, news came but not all was shared and that was fine for Deyas she would solve what she could without calling on others. When the bonereapers were stronger, when their tribe was larger, then perhaps they could affords to be more unified, but for now they would remain united in words only. Still there were other things to do, a fire, and gaining more of the living and calling upon the only somewhat trustable creature in the valley.

" I know you are tired, your limits have been pushed and I will not push you all much further. Tonight we will mostly relax and celebrate the living. Our focus is so often the dead and we must focus on the living from time to time so find your partners for the honored dead shall hopefully bless us with many children soon" Deyas told her people. They would be having a break and doing a fertility ritual over any work, and even those she needed to work would be doing light work. " We must also prepare for the elder's hopeful return from beyond, we need small idols so some will have to abstain from the festivals to mold these figures." She continued that was not hard work and in fact was something very honorable and a welcomed thing to finally bring the dead to the land of the living.

When the other had gone off to get things set up Deyas was left with the last elder " You and I sadly have harder work to do elder" Deyas said thinking back to the other night " Today you worked on darkness, tonight i need you to remember the other night to those spells to the idea of them" She continued The elder nodded listening " The idea of the curse remember it and work on it, we need more new magics. i want you to try to create a curse one that when cast on someone causes the damage they would cause to the caster to instead be dealt to them, a reflection. Can you try to do that?" Deya asked and the elder nodded " Of course" he said before heading off he looked back to Deyaas " And what will you do tonight ?" he asked.

" I could make the skull, but we have an uneven number of people to participate in the rituals i think one more group to craft the skull will work and I shall contact the scion to try to further our power" Deyas explained not even thinking of taking part in the celebration.

" Perhaps you would take a night off, perhaps find someone for yourself" The elder joked

Deyas laughed " no should I marry it should be from outside the tribe and sadly no other interest me I am not Matri Midwi willing to go to any who ask." Deays said in jest though one might doubt the other tribe would find it funny. " There is to much to be done to take a partner, now we have work to do let's get to it"

orders:

1 4 units of wood would be used to build a fire
2 4 units of bone reapers would celebrate fertility rites.
3 2 unit of bonereapers would mold small idols of the dead elders out of 1 unit of monster bone and use another 1 unit of monster bone to make a perfect skull.
4 the elder will focus on researching a new spell, a curse to make attackers hurt themselves.
5 Deyas would offer 2 monster bone to the scion.

used items:
4 units monster bone
4 units wood
6 units food

NIGHT 2

The day had been long and tiring; they had lost quite a few in the rapids of the river, and they had made enemies of the Icthyids. Nevertheless, it had still been a good day of work. Zian sighed, slightly sad that some of his people had been killed. But there was not much time to mourn, for he still needed to talk to the foreigner for information. Tired and sleepy, knowing his tribe needed rest, he gave orders.

ORDERS:

1) Zian talks to the foreigner and tries to get some information about the valley.

2) 1 unit lights a fire with 3 wood

3) 2 units make tools using 2 malachite.

4) 2 units make weapons using antelope/gazelle horns

5) Elders attempt researching properties of Purefire, specifically in healing and how it may weaken Scraol.

(-3 wood, -6 food)

 

[Prince Vaethorion]

Night 2

The new encampment was comfortable, but one could never rest with a ceaseless enemy out there hungry for human flesh. The Night began with preparing Night fire. Fire tenders, and "sentinels" that would keep vigilant over the tribe and the night went to work and would work in shifts as was normal. They would keep watch. The fire would not be allowed to die down. Tonight was going to be a night to life spirits, the Tribe would engage in both their fertility ritual, which involved water and water cleansing, and a huge feast would be held. This was welcome to the tribe. Each unit would now use a water elemental in all of their daily and evening chores. The Tribal members discussed their day. They discussed the birds and monkey, the wood they found, the shells, and giant otters. They discussed the Pototam and decided to take them up on a sport, although with some concern for what that may be? It was a pleasant night. They discussed the objects the Pototam used to protect themselves. They would imitate them, and make something similar. The night smelled like cooked meat, smoked fish, sweat and sex. Those who weren't spent from the fertility rights, worked into the night using tools.

The feast, the fertility rites, the food, the labor, the tribe eventually settled down to sleep. The sounds of the monkey, and creatures of the night only offered so much comfort, as danger always lurked at night. Those who didn't go to be stayed up in their shifts, they would watch over the tribe and keep the fires lit bright.



Orders:
1 - Light fire 1 Unit 1 Water elemental would be on duty to maintain fire and guard duty, changing shifts using 4 units of wood for night fire.
2- Fertility ritual (involving all Mating aged Tribe members).
3- Have Big Feast 11 units of food would be used for a feast to attract new tribe members. (5 Mammoth meat and 6 otter meat)
4- Smoke fish. 2 units and 2 water elementals would be used to smoke fish, All fish was to be smoked. using existing fires coals, smoking the fish to keep fresh.
5 -Make shields. 2 units and 2 water elementals using tools would use 2 units of Ancient wood to make Shields.
