I am Conrak Tool-Crafter, he who brings life to the inanimate! Examine what tools I have already created.
[5] There are the blades of flint, of several shapes and sizes, for scraping skin, drilling holes, working wood, drawing blood and any other purpose you can name - day and night you have labored for many months, but much of the tribe has been supplied with them by your superb skill. There is the bow, which all the hunters have, and the gathering hook, which many of the women thank you for, as it allows them to reach fruit high up on trees as well as to climb them easily in the event of danger as well as pull out tasty roots from the ground more easily. Spears and harpoons you also have made, sharp and straight. Without a doubt, you are one of the more, if not the most valued members of your tribe.
Find Conrak.
Conrak,I need to borrow your tools to sharpen this blade as a gift for Haphan.
If he allows me to then start sharpening the knife.
I am glad this challenge has been set upon me. I was planning to challenge Kurgle myself, but now, I can show I am greater than ALL the hunters of the tribe, for I will hunt a beast of legend, and I will show all, and all will be in awe, and call me great hunter, as I should be.
Gather my hunting gear, and ask Conrak for his biggest wagon, for the catch shall be large, and I will be the only hunter. Grab Chantututu to be my assistant, for doing this with the tribe idiot will further cement my legend, and I also like him, and I need help carrying the legendary catch. When I'm ready, boast to all the tribe about my soon to be journey and catch and success, and to prepare for the return of a legend

"True, elder, this possibility remains.""I have seen great beasts falling to our hunters. This story may be wisdom, rather than the foolishness it is first seen as. But the tribe has not survived this long by running off towards the first promise of good land, like some girl to a pretty face! We must have the wisdom to be patient and cautious, as a stalking cat, aware opportunity and danger share a skin! The elders must take time to understand what this move would mean for the tribe, and more than one set of eyes should see this promise else it be a lie!"
Haphan takes a moment to wash his dry throat with water.
"Indeed, there were magnificent beasts, but I, not being a hunter, was much more interested in lesser game and fruit trees. Still, in my travels I saw gray giants with great horns and skin like an old bark. There were antelopes, as big as no horse would ever be. The great hordes of them trampled the grass of the great plains. Lastly, there were bears - giants of their kind - living peacefully in this bountiful land, not needing to hunt for survival..."
Scout grimly nodded, finally giving up hopes of immediate action.Arlia looked at the young scout with appreciation.
"Yes, elders. Perhaps I understand now. But it still hurts me greatly to thought that such unique opportunity must be mulled about and slowly discussed. Well... Such is the way of things. I'm not the one to go against it."
Seeing Chantutu trying to fly, I run my fastest, and attempt to catch him so that he does not kill himself.I am glad this challenge has been set upon me.

Chantutu (he has lost track of the number of tus in his name) supposes that it was inevitable that he would eventually be forced to do something. He claps and dances excitedly. He decides to perform one more act of amusement before leaving: he climbs a (short) tree, then shouts "Look at Chantutu! Chantutu bird!" He then jumps off the tree and flies.
"Why not allow the scout to take a small group of volunteers back to see this new promised land, then? When we return, we will be able to either affirm or disprove his claims. Perhaps we could even bring food back.""Occasionally it may serve the herd to have able members examine new territory before all travel. This wisdom was used by our ancestors before us, and the many are more likely to see a lie for a lie than the lone wanderer."
Tuktu volunteers to go with Halpan to see the promised land.
"I have seen ten-fold summers seven times. In all that time, we have moved six times. Perhaps the younger who do not remember a move will not understand. But no people who stay still have ever lived. We must think of how long we may last if can last long enough staying here, waiting months for the scouts to leave and return again.""Of course we can you blithering bananapants! Once I unlock the secrets of Life we will always have enough food!"
Excellent!
While on the hunt for meat, form alliances and play most of the hunters against one another, getting them to eliminate each other. Essentially, play Survivor RL.

Distribute the latest batch of arrows to the hunters, and craft an enormous spear for Nth. What plan he has that would suit a spear better than a bow, Conrak does not know, but it is an excuse to craft something grander than Conrak has ever crafted.

Seeing Chantutu trying to fly, I run my fastest, and attempt to catch him so that he does not kill himself.
Once the elders are done with their meeting, Kurgle asks for permission to bring a few of the loyal hunters and some assorted other tribesmen east to see if the land really is as good as our scout promised.
"Why not allow the scout to take a small group of volunteers back to see this new promised land, then? When we return, we will be able to either affirm or disprove his claims. Perhaps we could even bring food back."
Tuktu volunteers to go with Halpan to see the promised land.
I'm long gone from the meeting. I care not about old men telling us what and what not to do while they sit around and do nothing. Once all my supplies and Chantututu are ready, I will take off from where Haphan came from to catch the three legendary beasts that he talked of.
((I'm going to assume that we have domesticated horses considering the apparent invention of carts.))
that means when he first makes them they will have to be human drawn i hope i manage to convince somebody else to be the puller((I'm going to assume that we have domesticated horses considering the apparent invention of carts.))
You assume incorrectly, as carts have not been actually invented yet. As in, nobody's built one so far.
((I'm going to assume that we have domesticated horses considering the apparent invention of carts.))((We don't have wagons...))
Ponder if the methods used to tame horses could be used to tame other animals which can then be used as an unspoiling meat store. Also wonder where horses come from as we have tamed them and I have a theory of budding.
You are not sure if he misheard, or simply did not deem a wagon, which even you yourself are not entirely sure of how it might work or even look, in spite of overhearing the Thinker once explain its basic principle operation to his apprentice.

"We wish you luck on your journey." Elto turns back to the others. "Let us give them 3 months, as long as Haphan had. Perhaps we should always send so many, if we disbelieve lone scouts and so waste months of their time. If all else fails, we might need to move once more to the sea in the West. It has been many, many summers. Perhaps the other tribe there has perished or moved on."
((The entire village will take a while to get packed up and ready to go, so they might lag behind the hunters and warriors who go charging off.))((That's what I figured as well.))

((Wait, are we the kind of tribe who kills our enemies, then grinds their bones to powder and mixes it with their blood to make warpaint?

Well, an a opponent I see. Now tell me something. Why is it you are doing the migration in the first place? To prevent starvation due to dwindling animals. And your grandkids will do the same in the area. Don't you see this path causes the problems it seeks out to prevent in the first place? And what will happen if we finally make a mistake and are unable to move from the place once the animals are gone. Or, even we another tribe and get into an dispute? Which would surely decimate our numbers, or even destroy us!!! There has got to be a change in our tradition of always moving when the deer, birds, or even the dreaded bear disappear! If one man controlled the tribe, it would bring more order to it. It would stop the bickering between the hunters, the shamans, and all of the others. I would use all of our resources to find out how to solve this issue! The mindless following of tradition clouds the vision more than anything else! Focusing on the short term will cause only stagnation and idiocy among the tribe. And what will happen if another tribe discover the solution first!!! It will be an advantage like no other. And like they say, high risk brings high rewards, and the honey is worth it in the end.I am Christoph, a very charismatic an ambitious man.

"Since before even the ancestors can remember, mankind has followed the food. In time, the plants will be gathered and the animals will all flee. We must follow them so we may eat and the plants may grow back, and the animals return, so that when our children's children return, they will be there. To stay is short-sighted and greedy, and leads only to starvation. Only the dead stay forever."

"What use is wisdom, when it is out of date? When it bounds man to one thing, not trying out new things! Don't listen to the trappings of this shaman, for she likes the old order. She benefits from deciding the tribe's destiny in where to migrate!! Also I see what you are up to women, deceiving and such. You are ignorant that I have been taught by the greatest speakers in this age!!! But it does not mean that I know anything else, other than leadership. What right does it give for me to rule, but not listen to the experts? In a government ruled by many, there opinions and comfort in their superiority make them think that the other would be wrong!!! Do you know who has the biggest ones of them all? Women. The female is more emotional than the male. I know this for a fact due to my experiences with them!!! Because of this, they think that what they think is right is right more often. Why do we use men for fishing, hunting, and crafting? Because they don't rely on opinion. They don't say 'I know the deer is going to turn that way, no matter what!' or 'This rock will fit nicely with this bow!' The male says 'The deer would turn this way if I hit near it, but if I miss, the deer would go this way.' Or 'The bow needs to be as light as possible to bring up quicker when a hunter sees an animal, and we need the rocks for sharpening.' Also, when another fox takes up the offer, it not only gets the sweetmeats, and even if the vulture tries to take it all for itself, the other fox chases off the vulture and gets it back to its family. And the vulture starves. She didn't even see where the animal went!!! it was the scout that went east!!! Do not trust what this women says, except maybe spiritual matters. But none else!!!((Also, my character is female, though that has not come up yet.))((Awesome summary. Very helpful. Although I would like to point out that Tuktu is greatest warrior, not gratest.

"Often the honey hides a poison! Brothers and sisters, I invite you to see the poison in these words. First the outsider says traveling is bad. The way of the herd is travel! Should the buffalo feast upon the grass on only one plain, tying their lives to it? No! The buffalo know that to travel brings new bounties of the earth! And upon their return the grass will have regrown! Listen brothers and sisters to the wisdom of the buffalo; it is our wisdom! And this traveler knows this too. Hear how he then says we must still migrate, see him turn his back on his past self.
He says to control where the animals move?! Who has claim over the movements of the beasts? I have been shaman of this tribe many years, and my mother before me. My grandmother led a great migration that brought new bounties. Never have I seen man narrate the way of the beast! The role of the shaman is to see where the game will go, not tell it where! Does the lioness wait and command the gazelle come to her?! No! The lioness finds the gazelle and chases it down! It goes where the prey is! Listen brothers and sisters to the wisdom of the lioness; it is our wisdom!
He says one man rules better?! What man knows better than multiple? This tribe has always listened to the wisdom of many elders. It has prospered because of this! One man may convert the wisdoms of the ancestors and be called a shaman, another may understand the workings of objects and be a thinker, another may know the trails of animals and be a hunter. What tribe would do away with a hunter so only a thinker could rule? Or a shaman? Do the hyena allow a single man to rule over themselves? No! The hyena have a group of women which determine the path of the pack! They do this so one's shortcomings do not endanger the pack! Listen brothers and sisters to the wisdom of the hyena; it is our wisdom!
He says risk brings reward?! Who is he to risk our tribe? He is not of us, not proven to us! If the fox was told by the vulture that it should risk its life, and in return it would be granted all the sweetmeats it desired, does the fox risk its life? No! It is cunning, and lives on by seeing the vulture's words for what they are, an attempt at a free meal. Listen brothers and sisters to the wisdom of the fox; it is our wisdom! This man wants nothing more than power over our tribe and the benefits it conveys. His words are as hollow as a vulture's caw."

And also of me being a person you do not trust!!! And also, that ambition stuff??? That is how an rival tribe destroyed my own!!! If you want context, just ask."
Meshok Fish-Eyed, being a lonely philosopher will ponder about the sense of it all. Why do we even try to thrive in this unfriendly world?
"Brothers and sisters, I have been given images as favorable as the scout's reports! Is it not good for a tribe to leave a land which had become dry and barren? Is it not good to follow the path of the eagle where we may and delight in the new land he shows us? Change is difficult, just as the herds graze as long as they can before moving, so it is with our people. But we have grazed here long, led to this place by wise ancestors who recognized the need to find new land. It is time to prepare to go east! Hunters and others able should lead the way and prepare the land for those of us who must make further preparations."
Prepare tribe to move.
((I'm going to assume that we have domesticated horses considering the apparent invention of carts.))
Ponder if the methods used to tame horses could be used to tame other animals which can then be used as an unspoiling meat store. Also wonder where horses come from as we have tamed them and I have a theory of budding.
Hmm. Drat. Let us look for tracks first.
Look for large animal tracks with henchperson!
hurry home and put the leaches and things in the small pond i have built for things such as this then ask clangbunk what he has done today so i can fix up any massive mistakes if i find no massive mistakes talk to him about the changing values in professions
Wait for equipment to be ready, and curse Conrak for his negligence of works
Fellow hunters! We have gathered today because of the lack of meat, but now we have heard of a rich land to the east, where we will once more be respected among the tribe! Let us depart. Kurgle, the friendly hunters, and anyone else who wishes to leave will head east now.
Wait!
Catch up with the volunteers.
I volunteer to go on the expedition.
Give Haphan his knife.
It seems the spirits weren't looking kindly upon your knife.
When the meeting is over, Elto helps round up the children for the night, then gets to cleaning the few fish he caught. Tomorrow the village will prepare to leave.
"Very well. It went better than I anticipated. I thank you, wise Arlia, for your support. It's time for our tribe to move for a new horizons."
Lead volunteers to the promised land.
I am Christoph, a very charismatic an ambitious man. Try to get total control over the tribe.
"Who are you, Christoph? You come here, just a newcomer, and try to take control! You are nothing, but a little man, standing on the shoulders of giants, and pinching their ears. I tell you, learn your place, or the giants will become angry, and swat you like a fly. Stop now, or you will be sorry."
Stare Christoph in the eyes, and threaten to kill him and make him warpaint if he tries once more to take control of what's not his.
Paint symbols of shame upon Christoph's body!
Kill the outsider. Anoint myself with warpaint made from his remains.
((I'm gonna go strike through my previous action.))
Kutuk stops Tuktu from attacking the outsider.
"Tuktu, cease your violence! He has a right to voice his opinion."
"You save Chantutu's life! Chantutu swears oath of loyalty!" Chantutu says to the man that caught him.
"How can Chantutu assist catching man? Dance? Great hunt? Chantutu follow man until end!"
Follow Nth. Take nearby rock and dance gently. Chantututututu's time shall come!
((Also question: what would have happened on a 5 or 6 on the flying?))
FIND TRUSTWORTHY PERSON IN CAMP, ASK FOR VUKKO'S WHEREABOUTS
BE CAREFUL INCASE THEY HAVE BEEN TURNED AGAINST ME
THEN GET SUPPLIES FOR TRAVELLING, PREPARE FOR PURSUIT
Conrak scratches his head, wondering what he could have possibly done with all his wood; usually he kept a supply of useful materials available in case he needed to make urgent repairs. He vaguely remembered having a brilliant idea sometime last night, after eating some delicious fruit which was perhaps a few days past its prime, but he could not recall what it was. Something about the young men dragging logs back to the tribe's encampment, and a young boy dragging two sticks...
"Ah!" Running behind his workspace, Conrak finds the project he had been working on; a mad jumble of sticks, hides, and long strands of plant fiber are strewn on the ground between two long poles. The poles ought to be handles; if Conrak can bind them together properly, and find a way to create a loose sort of basket between them, he knows he will have a new way to carry heavy loads long distances (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travois). Perhaps he will have better luck now that he is not drunk on spoiled fruit.
Conrak rigs a sledge from whatever materials he can lay hands on, to ease the carrying of game and the traveling of the tribe.
What is with Plok, talking about revenge and being captured, spreading lies to get one killed, along with being a useless scout.
Go to Plok, and set him straight before he annoys me anymore
i have the oddest feeling this spawn is basically guaranteed death
REROLL
(ALSO: WHAT AM I WEARING? WHAT IS TRIBAL FASHION LIKE?)
(WHAT ABOUT HAIR, THOUGH? DO WE DO THE WHOLE 'BONES BRAIDED INTO HAIR' THING? IS IT LEFT TO GROW LONG? HAVE WE INVENTED THINGS LIKE PIERCINGS/TATTOOS? THIS SILLY QUESTION BUT OH WELL YOU ENCOURAGED ME WITH PROMPT ANSWER
JUST SO LONG AS PLOK IS HANDSOME I AM HAPPY)
i declare that i am the most pouch covered off all not completely covered but still many pouches(ALSO: WHAT AM I WEARING? WHAT IS TRIBAL FASHION LIKE?)
You and your fellow tribesmen are largely naked except for whatever pouches full of stuff or harnesses for their weapons they happen to be carrying.

Beyond being mostly naked and identifiably human, you probably look like however you imagine you look like.
"Death for any reason is a tragedy, but not all tragedies have villains; do not blame Tuktu for his violence. Is it not natural to react with anger towards a man you just meet claiming power over you? This is not or way.
To comfort those who grow anxious by his words, his accusations were unfounded. He claimed only a single ruler could provide expertise, yet ask our brothers scouting the way. Their words were heeded by these elders. Those with wisdom of their own kinds are welcomed in this tribe, from great thinkers to scouts.
Now come, it is time to leave this place and tragedy behind us."
Perform a brief funeral ritual and then move east with the tribe.
"...Tuktu. Leave. You dishonor our tribe, and we will not have you staying here any more.""Kutuk, you are a great healer, you fight against death, and it must pain you too see this man die. But you must understand. It was inevitable. Did you not see how many of our tribe were taking up arms against him? His first words to our tribe were spoken in challenge of our way of life. He explicitly called for leadership to be granted to him. It is sad. He should not have died but what he did was pure madness, nothing less than a death wish."
"The man was not claiming power over us. He merely was trying to debate whether we do the right hing, and whether he was right or wrong, he had a right to speak. Tuktu must be punished for these senseless murders."
Wander off to test my theory instructing Tuypogina to check on my plant graves every once in a while.
((There's 15 colors, and you can use underline, bold, italics, glow to make it different. I'm not going to do the math, but you can make a combination of any of those, so, for example, Yellow, Bold, Italics, Glow red 2600..))
RISE FROM THE DEAD
Lead Kutuk to Gatorfang's body, if it no longer exists go to Kurgle and have him speak with Kutuk, if he or Tuktu is exiled, exclaim self exile, and Forbid Chantututu to follow
"Still. He murdered a man, and he can't go unpunished for it. Even if the punishment is minor, it must exist, or he may do it again.""This is wisdom. Perhaps his punishment could be to run errands for you? It is a job for a child, one who follows emotions more quickly than reason."
Come to Tuktu's defense, by telling Kutuk of Kurgle's murder of Gatorfang when he tried to say he was a god, and insinuate favor of Kurgle over Tuktu"What is this? Bring Kurgle to us so we hear more of this event and decide his fate. We thank you for bringing this to us, though we regret that there has been such violence of late."
" If Tutku is to be punished, then why isn't Kurgle to be punished for his murder? He slayed a man who claimed himself a god, didn't he have the same right of speech as this man. If Tutku is punished, then Kurgle must be punished, otherwise your favor of Kurgle shall be seen and known by the tribe, Tutku, and me."
RESPAWN AS WITH SAME SPECIFICS AS BEFORE, TRY TO TAKE CONTROL OVER THE TRIBE((Harry, can you let is know if you'll let him do this, do we can know whether or not to react? ))
"Conrak, if you could build one for me? I have medicines that I'll need to carry with me, and this would make it much easier."[/color][/b]
((Harry, can you let is know if you'll let him do this, do we can know whether or not to react? ))
((So, to clarify, it won't be or tribe he's trying to take over? ))((Harry, can you let is know if you'll let him do this, do we can know whether or not to react? ))
He'll respawn and action as requested, but elsewhere. History doesn't repeat itself that blatantly.
((probably, but I may see your tribe, muhahahahahaah)))((So, to clarify, it won't be or tribe he's trying to take over? ))((Harry, can you let is know if you'll let him do this, do we can know whether or not to react? ))

"Tuktu, I heard you killed that foul outsider? Good, it hopefully we will have no more problems with outsiders spreading their evil ways. Try to work together with some other travelers to bind together sticks with grass, and travel across on those."It is wrong to give praise for violence which was not done to prevent violence. Your impulses were to protect the tribe, however. One man claiming to be a god, another claiming he deserves to rule and can control animals. Part of me wants to believe these men were the same. These are strange times when outsiders come proclaiming such things; it is not natural."
"He did not kill one of us. It is alarming that they moved to kill the strangers so quickly, but both strangers harbored ill intentions. They saw a threat to all of us and only hoped to protect, however rashly. I will have a word with them on their violent impulses.""I agree with you that their hearts were with the tribe, and they fought the threat they perceived. Perhaps your words are all it will take to prevent such quick outbursts in the future."
you hear a ghostly whisper I didn't say I could control animals... Just that it might of been one of the solutions."Tuktu, I heard you killed that foul outsider?

((Everyone is probably wondering why you are talking to air.))((Because it's tough to keep track of who is where! :P Also, nobody is wondering. I'm the shaman. it's in my job description.))
(( Are we close together? I know were moving, but they still have the head start, right?))
It makes sense. And map would be... Wrong. But, if anyone can draw it on a wet sand, it would be proper.(( Are we close together? I know were moving, but they still have the head start, right?))
somebody who can make sense of it all should draw a map
see if conrak has invented pouch on end of stick yet if not invent it myself call it net
this is good ever since i first scoped up those leaches i was planing to invent a net if conrak hadent already and it has the pleasant side affect of allowing me to possibly discover the sled so me and clangbunk can take our experiments with us
Take out the chunk of obsidian that I obtained many moons ago,find a sturdy stick that is about 1 and a half feet long.
"THANK-YOU, NUUTA. I WILL BRING BACK SOMETHING NICE FOR YOU."
GIVE NUUTA ONE OF PLOK'S PATENTED CHARMING SMILES
THEN HEAD OUT INTO HUNTING LANDS AFTER VUUKO AND HUNTERS, TRY AND PICK UP THEIR TRAIL
(ALSO: WHAT AM I WEARING? WHAT IS TRIBAL FASHION LIKE?)
Meshok Fish-Eyed saddened, but was not deterred. Why should he care that he would ultimately die, if he would enjoy the life he had? Realizing this, he would write a poem on a wall of a cave, proclaiming the sense of life is life itself, for future generations to ponder about.
"Death for any reason is a tragedy, but not all tragedies have villains; do not blame Tuktu for his violence. Is it not natural to react with anger towards a man you just meet claiming power over you? This is not or way.

Their words were heeded by these elders. Those with wisdom of their own kinds are welcomed in this tribe, from great thinkers to scouts.
Now come, it is time to leave this place and tragedy behind us."
Perform a brief funeral ritual and then move east with the tribe.
Meshok Fish-Eyed would step into the discussion saying an old saying of their people:
"The goal overrides the actions."
Whether or not I agreed with it, Tuktu tried to protect his tribe and should not be punished for fending off an outsider, especially now, in this nervous situation, when we are moving somewhere else.
Wander off to test my theory instructing Tuypogina to check on my plant graves every once in a while.
Conrak regards his work with satisfaction; this sledge will allow many families to carry more and travel easier, letting the tribe as a whole travel faster and with less fatigue. And just in time; it seems the Council has arrived at the decision Conrak knew they would, and the tribe is preparing to travel.
Conrak packs his things into the sledge and demonstrates its usefulness to other tribesmen. He crafts new sledges for those who ask, giving priority to those carrying supplies for women, children, and the elderly.
Lead Kutuk to Gatorfang's body, if it no longer exists go to Kurgle and have him speak with Kutuk, if he or Tuktu is exiled, exclaim self exile, and Forbid Chantututu to follow
RESPAWN AS WITH SAME SPECIFICS AS BEFORE, TRY TO TAKE CONTROL OVER THE TRIBE

Assist Kurgle in building. Perhaps, we should make more for the tribe?
((How long has it been since I started my experiment. Also why are we leaving? Shouldn't we wait for the forward scouts to come back?))
Listen for the river and follow that home. Then stare at my graves for several hours.
((How long has it been since I started my experiment. Also why are we leaving? Shouldn't we wait for the forward scouts to come back?))

Less than a day (an eventful day, but a day nevertheless), and your shaman was struck by a prophetic vision that revealed to her that moving on would be wise.
"Kurgle. Nth has told me that you murdered a man earlier this day. Do you have an explanation?"((Are you on the expedition?))
((I'll try to update character description with a grouping based on their position.))
"And that means he deserves to die? That you have the right to kill him?"Does it change anything with our tribe? No. I helped us out before he could spread his lies.
Remind Conrak about the giant spear he was to make me, and request one of the new wagon things he made, once I recieve these, go first on the raft, and begin my legend hunt, if I don't get these, begin anyway, and make my own creations on the road((No wagons yet, he made sledges instead.))
((No wagons yet, he made sledges instead.))
((I'm confused. Is it the following morning, or is it night? Are the rest of us ahead of TFN in time?))
Well, the tribe would take a day or so to get packed. The first day was nearer to night when we had the meeting, so I assume that started the following day. So it must be night of the first day, with most of the actions taking place tomorrow. Maybe we should have a mini turn to resolve those who are out at night, before some ridiculous time dilation occurs?
Remind Conrak about the giant spear he was to make me, and request one of the new wagon things he made, once I recieve these, go first on the raft, and begin my legend hunt, if I don't get these, begin anyway, and make my own creations on the road
ask conrak to stay and help me find clangbunk before he leaves i have ideas for how he could improve his sled to allow him to catch up with the others anyway if he agrees go and find clangbunk if he dosent agree get angry at him then go and find clangbunk
so monk12 are you going to help us or leave

Ask my fellow tribesmen "Could I rejoin my tribe?"
Find a decent stick in the woods,if I fail to find one,then snap off a branch and use that.

Organize people ferrying across.
HANG BACK SO AS NOT TO BE SEEN
CROUCH DOWN AND LOOK AROUND FOR ROCKS.
DECENT-SIZED ONES, LARGER THAN FIST BUT NOT AS BIG AS HEAD
TIE ONE TO THE END OF A CORD, ABOUT HALF AN ARM-LENGTH LONG, MAKE SWINGY-BASHY-TRIPPY WEAPON
THEN LOOK AROUND FOR STICK TO USE AS CLUB
HIDE BEHIND TREE AND THINK UP GOOD SNEAKY PLAN
Look at the food situation we currently have.
Be the first to step on the other side. Scout near the river for possible dangers.
"Kurgle. Nth has told me that you murdered a man earlier this day. Do you have an explanation?"((Are you on the expedition?))
Get a long stick so we can push off the bottom, and ferry people across. Go with one of the earlier groups.
Chantututu throws a rock in the air and claps. He sees how many times he can clap before the rock comes down, and tries it again and again to try and increase that number.
((So do we worship some sort of tribal gods, or just the natural forces?))
Go across the river with the first party on the raft.
As the others leave, Elto does a quick search for stragglers before joining them.
Conrak sings loudly and happily while on the march, with an eye for impressing the ladies.
Tuktu is just going to keep moving with the tribe and protecting them. We don't need any random animal attacks around here.Help him with this, using my bow.
((OP, you might want to quote Sarrak's list in the OP. It's getting hard to keep track of who's who.))
Thanks muchly.((OP, you might want to quote Sarrak's list in the OP. It's getting hard to keep track of who's who.))
It's linked in the OP now.
Tell further directions to Arlia and Kurgle and move out to scout surrounding lands. They may have changed after I last scouted them a few months back.((What directions?))
Arlia considered the quick response of the people to her lead. They had seemed receptive to the ideas of the stranger, almost eager to be led by a single individual. Perhaps it was time for the tribe to move in a new direction. Moving locations was tumultuous anyway; it left the tribe feeling unstable. Perhaps a single leader could stabilize. She would have to discuss the idea with the others when they arrived.
Lead the tribe to the new land.
Make sure all my medicine is stocked in the sledge, and follow the tribe.
I calmly, but quickly shall use all of my meagre strength to run to the group. I shall do it while thinking that even a being so weak as I can do incrediblethings.
Search for some buckets near Conrak's hut. Dig up my plant graves and put them in the buckets with watery dirt.
Tuktu is just going to keep moving with the tribe and protecting them. We don't need any random animal attacks around here.

try to figure out where my brother went after the grand rebellion. he probably thought it was some sort of invasion by a rival tribe. he also was quite ambitious, probably tried to take over another tribe. He would of moved the tribe to the coast to have himself return to our glorious lifestyle of fishing. he has been gone for a few months though....
take bow and arrow, grab an unoccupied wagon thing, head off to hunt great beasts with Chantututu.
i assume conrak made us a sled
start packing all our experiments on the sled
Tell further directions to Arlia and Kurgle and move out to scout surrounding lands. They may have changed after I last scouted them a few months back.
Start using one of my knives to saw down the middle about one quarter of the length and look for any vines or something to use as a rope.
Start shaping the black rock into a double headed blade and use the vines and stick and rock to make a Tomahawk.
((Also what's the status of our expedition? I'm having trouble keeping track of it in the long updates.))

If you're interested in how the expedition in general is going, the best idea is probably to check Samarkand's action results, I believe.
do you mean this round or in future as well
do you mean this round or in future as well
No idea. Depends on whether Arlia keeps running the tribe, pretty much.
we can not risk taking any longerOnward! To learning!
set off to catch up with the tribe conrak can rest in the sled ill pull
also im glad we were able to successfully perform the potting
((In original RTDs if another player spent their action helping you it got a +1. It seems to me this next roll is the one that matters in our little saga, so could others help lead the tribe? It'll either result in duplicate actions, in which case maybe the best outcome is the one accepted, or bonuses to the roll.))

"Tribe members, do not be alarmed! This wasteland is not our destination, merely a path we take! Is it not good to travel on land with few predators to bother us, few trees to impede our path?""We will help, as always, to protect the tribe. Do not worry yourself overmuch about leadership, Arlia. The formal structure makes little difference. It is a poor council that does not defer to the arbitration of its wisest member, and it is a poor chief who does not listen to the wisdom and views of the rest of their tribe."
To the others counted amongst the elders she said, "Brothers and sisters, I need your help keeping the tribe calm and true to this path. If they stop before we reach the land for which we set out I'm afraid they well not survive the year..."
"Shaman, doctor, you are both fools. You believe you have the power of judgment over something you are a waste in. You threaten, to punish those who defend you! And all you do, is chant uselessness, which will kill us, and defend those who wish to destroy us! You march us out here, to foreign land we do not know. If anyone dies, I blame YOU for your foolishness. If you punish another, YOU will recieve judgment."It is not right to hold the shaman solely responsible for this journey. The tribe wanted to leave once we all advised them, based on both our judgement and Haphan's assurances. It does not matter. The journey is begun, and we all must help each other survive it."
((Save me, I'm just an old bread eater with nothing positive to add!))((Lol. I quite enjoy reading your character.))

SNEAK UP, WAIT UNTIL THEY LOOKING AWAY FROM ME DISTRACTED
THEN JUMP OUT OF HIDING, RUN TOWARDS VUKKO WITH A YELL AND THROW BIG ROCK AT HIM
HOPEFULLY HURT HIM ENOUGH TO DISTRACT HIM
THEN TAKE PROPER GRIP ON CLUB AND WHACK IRK OVER HEAD
BE SURE TO LOUDLY REMIND THEM THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE MESSED WITH PLOK
The speed is indeed slower than I anticipated. But, perhaps we may visit several oasis that I encountered here back in my younger years?
Wonder why I was even thinking that.
"shut up you"
I shall rush towards the tribe, when I get closer, scream for help, as I am dehydrated and tired.

Move tribe to fertile land seen by scouts.
Remind the elders that I am NOT their friend OR helper, that the only I accused Kurgle is because of THEIR stupidity in punishing an enemy of the tribe, and that I believe they are STUPID, LAZY, and USELESS, because of Their lack of physical contribution to the tribe,(So I'm not counting the fisherman or the crafter, but the shamen and docter and thinker), and that if they choose to punish their own again or anyone dies during the trek, he'll see to it that THEY recieve punishment.
Chantututu helps lead the tribe. Everybody dance now!
Go see if tribal healer has medicine for wolf bites.
Actively seek wolves. Blood has historically been used as a water substitute, so do that. And alert the tribe if I find any springs or ponds.
Help lead the tribe, telling those who are too young to remember the tricks we used to survive the last 2 moves.
Spit on the ground, and show Kutuk my cut hand
"Here then, let me show you your true worth
Find healing supplies, and mend myself in front of him
Kutuk, seeing that the conversation is more or less over, walks away and checks among the tribe to make sure everyone is healthy.
"Now, we must chose a route most suitable for the tribe. I have crossed the desert that lies ahead, but it is not wise to lead children and elders into it. We can try to go slightly to the north or south...""Haphan, you have done well. You thought of the herd even as you flew the eagle's path."
Remember what perils lie ahead and try to figure out how to pass them.
Uhoh.kinda sad my character won't be around to see that although I might catch up this round
It's time for Chantututu's best performance ever! This time, imitate someone disliked-- apparently foreigners, for example, are frequently murdered-- in order to avoid people's hatred.
remove the pots but have both me and clangbunk make a note of where we left them in case we ever return"NO! I shall walk."
((Whoo! Score one for age and experience :D))(("Hey, y'all kids! Listen up! I've lived longer than you, therefore I'm SMARTER, BETTER, and more EXPERIENCED than you! So listen to me next time!"))
very well we shall keep the pots get out and pullremove the pots but have both me and clangbunk make a note of where we left them in case we ever return"NO! I shall walk."
Tuktu continues to maintain silent vigil over the tribe, seeking to protect them from any threats as they journey to a new home.
very well we shall keep the pots get out and pullremove the pots but have both me and clangbunk make a note of where we left them in case we ever return"NO! I shall walk."

Remember what perils lie ahead and try to figure out how to pass them.
Finally, people to amuse and annoy! I'm back...
Well, through the years of loneliness, I craved only one thing... alright, companionship was also a concern, but most importantly:
ALCOHOL
Raid the tribes alcohol supplies, make a party, sing sea shanties, write poems.
If our tribe hasn't invented alcohol yet, share my knowledge with them, make some nice drinks with my beloved substance, party with them. Always sea shanties, though.
Arrange search party to find lost tribesmen
"Kurgle! Come here, great hunter. You say you're the foremost, yet you do not even notice the Plok,Vukko, OR Irk are not here. They went out to hunt didn't they? It's been weeks, and still they have not come back. I need a group of hunters to come along with me, to find them. I worry for them, yet you don't even seem interested in the least."
"Haphan, you have done well. You thought of the herd even as you flew the eagle's path."
Help Haphan lerss the tribe along a safe route.
Help guide the tribe as well. Continue to keep an eye on the tribes health.
Put berries in the ground
Uhoh.
It's time for Chantututu's best performance ever! This time, imitate someone disliked-- apparently foreigners, for example, are frequently murdered-- in order to avoid people's hatred.
"They are gone? But I am sure they are doing fine. They are skilled hunters, and sometimes hunting trips can take a while."
Continue going out to hunt, explore the general area as well.

If so:
I am BickBuck, young child and warrior in training! I was carried off by a large bird, but returned wearing its feathers!
try and leave the pots behind without clangbunk noticing and head off to catch up"Nope! I know all! I see all! Don't touch my shit!"
Conrak finds the prospect of deadly birds of prey to be an unpleasant one; unwilling to assume that the tribe will not have future encounters with them, he sets about thinking of a better way to attack them. Conrak crafts a wide net weighted with stones which should be effective at fouling their wings. The enjoyment of Meshok's spirits will surely help this endeavor."Conrak, do you have a moment? I've been thinking about the birds, and what large claws they have. I think we should instruct the hunters to bring back their talons. Would those be of use to you?"

Anounce a feast to fill our bellies with food and drink, but first find an oasis to sleep in. Party all day and night there to lighten the hearts of the tribesmen. Nothing else during that day, but party. Also SING SEA SHANTIES.
Meh...Find a differently sized stick and use my black rock to make a spear,since there's nothing else to use.

Attempt to improve the sled with the knowledge gained from making model carts (now used as toys by the village children.)

Continue my search with my group of hunters.

Check on aforementioned shit ((The average plant should have sprouted ~ten days after planting.))
Continue hunting. Look for any signs of other tribes traveling through, so we may know if the other lands are empty.
Continue journey to land of milk and honey.

SHAKE FIST VIGOROUSLY
THEN HIDE IN HOLE WITH BOW AND ARROW UNTIL THEY LEAVE
IF THEY COME BACK AND TRY TO KILL ME, SHOOT AT THEM
PONDER LIFE CHOICES. WHERE DID PLOK GO WRONG?
ALSO WHAT TIME IS IT
See if anyone is coming near the tribe
Instruct the hunters to bring the talons of any birds they kill.
"I will kill any decently sized birds I see. Especially with the scavenger birds common around here, large-taloned birds should be no trouble to find."
Kill any birds I find and get the talons, and the meat of course.
Having no need to scout for a while, Haphan helps with hunting predatory birds.
((So we're two months behind everyone else?))
Errr....Respawn? :P
What would be most useful right now? I...haven't read much on whats going on.
I don't mean in cannon I mean chronologically we are out of sync by two months.((So we're two months behind everyone else?))
A couple days, actually, similarly to Plok. Time is synchronized as distances are crossed.
SPAWN AS A MANEATER BIRD!
"I'm positive that this is a way I has travelled and, if not for feasts, we would have already arrived to the river. But I start to fear that the place I spoke of may not be the same as in the past..."

Tuktu will focus on protecting infants and children from the predatory birds until we get out of this area.Elto assists in protecting the children.
Ask if the others are willing to search any further. If so, search a little bit more, then return to the tribe. If not, go back to tribe immediately
Look for tracks leading from the abandoned camp. Continue all my hunting and birdslaying.
((So we're two months behind everyone else?))
Onward!
Try to see if I can treat the people who are alcohol-sick. Find whoever threw the feast and scold them for wasting supplies.

Go with Haphan,both ensuring that he doesn't get any more delusions and to assist him if he gets into trouble.
Propose a new series of raids to get more supplies, get rid of even more competition, and females to breed with or sacrifice (with any males) to the great water spirits to ensure that fish continue to come
Prepare tribe for contact with others, hostile or friendly, as we continue towards the river.

Elto also tries to help Conrak manage his drinking.
Conrak is quite enamored with the impressive talons of the child-eating birds (though he has sense enough to hold such opinions to himself when BickBuck's mother is near.) Conrak talks some of the hunters into giving him a share of the larger, sharper talons, and attempts to make a spear using them.
"HA HA! I GOT YOU! THIS WHY YOU DON'T MESS WITH PLOK!"
CLIMB OUT OF HOLE, INSPECT RIVALS

PROMISE MYSELF TO LEAVE SUCH A VIOLENT, DANGEROUS EXISTENCE BEHIND AND SETTLE DOWN WITH NUUTA
Countersuggest that Clangbunk join me in drinking and forget the sleds/plant corpses for a while! "Clangbunk, you've gotta try this one, the one made from the yellow fruit...""Or or, just throwing this out there: We don't do that."
((:P))"I am rather against sullying my mind with that putrid swill."
Conrak slaps his forehead in mock astonishment. "Clangbuck, you've just survived a trying ordeal dragging a heavy sledge weighed down with dead earth and dead plants through inhospitable badlands for days on end, and you've just now reunited with the rest of the tribe! This calls for a celebration! And we've gotten very good at celebrating while you were out."
Walk around the tribe, encouraging them to keep from drinking until we are all safe and established.
SPAWN AS A MANEATER BIRD!
Humans only, sorry.

WEEP FOR MY LOST LOVE!
WHATEVER HER NAME WAS
THEN GO GET SOME WATER... SURELY I KNOW ALL THE NEARBY SOURCES OF FRESH WATER
WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT THE LANDS TO THE EAST?
Upon arriving shove Haphan to the ground with the shaft of my spear.
I went ahead with Haphan,and what did we find? NOTHING! Haphan brought us out here to perish!
wish the search party luck and go catch up with the rest of the tribe after time dilation is worked out properly study alcohols physical propertys
I have yet a moment to contemplate. Nothing seemed wrong before crossing badlands, but, after crossing them and coming closer to a desert, did we take a wrong turn? The river indeed, could have remained on the side of us, as such.
"Stop the tribe, Hatika, while we're not gone far from the forest. And give me juat one day to think about situation. I know what I seen with my own eyes and tasted with my own lips, but somehow, something has gone wrong. And I'm responsible for that."
Ask if they have food or drink, and if they had seen Plok, Irk, and Vukko. Have someone escort them to the tribe while I continue my search. No one gets left behind
Suggest that Conrak stop drinking and help me upgrade the sleds. Also, check on my experiment ((which I have been keeping watered to maintain the clash of spirits.))
Have the tribe gather resources here while we wait for another scouting report.
Countersuggest that Clangbunk join me in drinking and forget the sleds/plant corpses for a while! "Clangbunk, you've gotta try this one, the one made from the yellow fruit..."

Walk around the tribe, encouraging them to keep from drinking until we are all safe and established.
((I am now Tuktu, foremost greatest warrior and babysitter :P))
Continue protecting tribe from threats, if any.
Ask Lanku if she wants to join Chantututu in playing some practical jokes. If she accepts, replace the locations of the water and alcohol stores that non-hunters have access to and observe the aftereffects together. Bond!
((Yes, my guy has a very short expected lifespan. Who will kill him first? Hard to say.))

((Oh man, didn't mean for it to be that bad. I thought it would just curb some of the alcohol drinking, not hide the water altogether in an impossible to find location. The power of 6.))
Chantutu will drink some alcohol, then bring back the water. He will try to do it stealthily, and hopes Lanku won't be too mad about spoiling their joke.
Dat string of unlucky rolls.
Return the knife to Hatika. Scout ahead - finding even just a mere shadow of the place I have seen would be a miracle now. Also, distance would somewhat guard me from an ire of some warriors and hunters.
Oh yeah. I'm starting to think about defecting now - the situation seems dire and if we get another unlucky string, the tribe would become thirsty, hungry, sober and, eventually, absolutely mad with rage. Expectations are that they will lynch practically everyone in an unstoppable tantrum spiral.
I'll try to update the tribe situation today.
"Shaman! I have discovered something great! I have learned of a way to get the earth spirits to push up plants where we want them to! This is truly a great gift!""These plants, will there be enough to feed us? Is this a way for the tribe to survive, or another empty promise? Perhaps your way will be necessary, but we must move at least a while longer, while we are still during enough to do so."
"Well not currently but if done on a large scale with supplementary inventions it should totally work. We will need a large body of water if we want anything effective though.""Shaman!

((I assume we were already in the forest, and that's why my action wasn't in there?))Sadly, but:
Gather more plants, and plant them in the forest in large numbers.
Argh.((I assume we were already in the forest, and that's why my action wasn't in there?))Sadly, but:
Gather more plants, and plant them in the forest in large numbers.
[1] There is no scouting report (the only available information being that the plains go on for a distance yet, Haphan does not know what to do, and you lost sight of the woods over a week ago. The plains are proving more inhospitable than the badlands, in a way. At least there the hunters knew what to trap, even if it was only birds, and the locations of water sources.
((I assume we were already in the forest, and that's why my action wasn't in there?))
Gather more plants, and plant them in the forest in large numbers.
"Tribe, we are close to a bountiful forest. Haphan probably just went in a wrong direction, as rivers can turn a lot and these badlands could stretch to either side of the land of milk and honey." Bring tribe back to the forest, so Haphan can find the lands again.
"Why does this healer hate me, I do Gravekeeper around here"Stab the reaper.
Try to find some healing herbs in the area.
god damit im an alcholic now
break down in tears at my addiction and attempt to fix myself

We need to keep moving! This land will leave us to starve!
Convince the tribe to move faster and to send out scouts who are not as delusional as Haphan,also get my knife back.

Mediate/spirit walk to choose a direction and lead the tribe there.
Fearing the death of others, send the others back so that they may be safe with the tribe, then continue searching once more, they are still lost, and must be found
"We face a serious problem. We have seen few animals in the area, and yet children disappear in the night without any sign. We must look into this, we cannot allow our children to be taken from us."
Find out who or what is taking the children. ((Assistance please!))
"Well not currently but if done on a large scale with supplementary inventions it should totally work. We will need a large body of water if we want anything effective though."
Draw up plans for basic irrigation. After all the strife is what pushed them up in the first place so continued strife is likely what makes them grow.
Try to plant some crops.
Tuktu will retrieve all the missing children to redeem his honor.

Rest and recover to usefulness.
"Arlia, we must speak. I feel it may not be wise to continue in the current direction in the tribe's current state."
Chantutututu was caught between a rock and a hard place. Did he help the tribe that he always wanted to be a true part of, or the one person that understood him and sort of liked him? In the end, he chose a third option: blame the foreigners!
Chantutututu will get everyone's attention, then explain that he saw strangers in the night make off with the tribe's water source. Hopefully people believe him.
Walk to Healer, See if healer has dead to bury if not Silent leave and pray to death gods in my place
Leave the tribe,I can move much faster then them,and they are just a bunch of foolish idiots.

"I'm glad that this is finally over and praise Hatika - he remained optimistic and adamant despite my close call to crumbling.

I am currently setting up streams of water necessary for the system. It may take some time to be fully established but some results should come in within the first few weeks."
To the alcohol, I do not believe we should be so harsh. A little celebration is not a bad thing. However, let us convince the tribe to reserve alcohol for special times, but yo drink it every day.
Great thinker, you had ideas about forcing plants to grow. Can you pursue that here?"
Convince tribe alcohol is meant for special occasions, not everyday drinking.

Conrak is troubled by the simultaneous disappearance of the tribe's children and his own alcohol stockpiles. Thus, being the brilliant craftsman that he is, he devises a solution to both problems. Conrak creates a security system for the tribe; a thing of thin, low-hung vines tied to sticks, the sticks bestowed with empty gourds, jugs, and other such containers. When invaders come in the night, they will trip over the vines and cause the sticks to topple, causing a loud noise and alerting the tribe. Conrak makes sure to do his part to empty enough containers to supply such a large perimeter.

Ask them about their ways and customs. And why are they stealing children?!
Try to heal. Be a generally nice person. Think about the sense of life and share my knowledge with others.

Kill them all, except the children and members of my tribe that I see, starting with slashing the chief's neck. The threat to the tribe must be stopped. Draw courage and strength from my warpaint while fighting.

Chantututu, noticing a change in the mood of his constituents, stops dancing and starts miming. He mimes the tribe becoming militarily dominant in the area under his wise leadership, and the foreigners being led into a false sense of security by the tribe's unassuming, lumpy leader. He hopes that his strangely un-jolly platform of intolerance and general hatred will sway the undecided.
Harry was right not allowing this. Really, all things considered, condoms would drastically decrease birthrate down to a few children in several years. Then, we would die out under assault of less progressive and more procreative tribes...((THE 'BRONZE PEOPLE' ENDED UP ESCAPING BTW))If I had been alowed to test my condoms I would have been with them all night and they would not have escaped I would probably still be dead but I could of shouted out a warning
Your right it's a good thing my action was deemed to crude

How about we don't do that and instead keep up the pretense of being rated M rather than higher? Hate to spoil things, but guidelines are guidelines, and if I run this it might set a precedent.
((Additionally, a Victorian-era invention like the handjob would be anachronistic. Besides, there's a lot of other forums for that type of stuff.))
We must rethink our plans. This time, we as a whole group of prisoners will use whatever instruments at our disposal, (sticks, stones, cooking utensils, etc.) to kill our guards and retrieve our weaponry. Then we shall burn down the homes of these wretched folk and slaughter them all.
Make sure to keep an eye out for the bald she-devil. If seen, make it a priority to blundgeon her to death.
Actually it was pretty realistic. Several Native American tribes invented the wheel as a toy but never considered using it for travel. We just did.-snip-

((Wait, Chatutu will be leader? Dammit.))Make another seaworthy raft, with help from others who know how to build them. I will get this done if it kills me.
At this point, I believe the old man won't hurt me, so I begin to nibble on the fungi. I wonder if maybe I could draw a picture of civilization; a few stick figures and tents and animals, and point outside. This may translate well.
Explain the process of spiritual strife as we observe the plants.
Start getting mushed food ready for the infants when they are born
Continue patrolling for threats. Maybe throw my name into the election for chief, just because.
Enter a meditative state where I receive the wisdom of the spirits and paint them directly onto a nearby rock surface, if available. If not paint on wood.
Ask nuuta who she thinks should be chief
Using the skin of the animal, create a pack to carry any meat I do not finish, and a waterskin. Construct a crude spear to help ward off any more wolves and carnivores. Press onward, wondering if I will come across any Forestpeople; they are hardy folk who usually keep to themselves, but perhaps they will be hospitable enough to help out a poor and weary traveller.
Leisure speed is fine indeed. But maybe I can go a little faster? After all, plains are not that safe...

Leave the tribe,and walk to the north.

Try one last time to amass support as chief. If it fails, Chantututututu gives his support to Tuktu, since he has similar ideas about interacting with other tribes, and more importantly ends his name in the same way. He applies as one of Tuktu's advisors.Old man support.
((I'd like to advocate against (relatively) super advanced foreigners, since that would make us extremely backwards by comparison. It's better RPwise if we're a tribe at the dawn of civilization than a holdout group of nomads in the civilized age.))I agree
Teach the other fisherman of sharks and whales and their many merits.
I think the remnants of the Fisher Tribe stole the captives. We bothered to take captives anyway, so some may live now, and that explains the lack of struggle. I propose a death squad be made, and sent to crush the Fisher Tribe from existence. Since I was a former Head before I became spokesman, and it was my idea of allowing to join was what caused the Union to nearly break, I will join, and hopefully kill the chief that caused us to nearly splinter
haphan I feel would be a poor choice to much of a wandering spirit oh I just had an idea
suggest we intruduce a system wherein every year we reevaluate who to make chief not only does it allow for new candidates to become chief before the old one dies but it will force the chief to act in the best intrests of the tribe or the people will choose a difrent chief next year
Oh fine.
I am Amitola Yurok,daughter of Hatika and fierce huntress!
Hunt some of the local creatures.
Oh well. Plant more plant heads.
Look after spiritual well-being of tribe members.

((How many people can my boat fit? If about ten, then)) bring as many people as I can on a trip down the coast. ((If not, then))build a large paddle powered longboat.
((Tuktu for Chief! And now I have a vision of him being chief and turning into the Alexander the Great of this world, uniting all other tribes under his banner. Also, the wind spirit thing would be great to play up if I was lucky enough to have strong winds blow whenever Tuktu is angry.))
"One year is not long enough. A new chief every year would cause too much conflict if their ideas clash with the previous chief. If chiefhood is not for life, then I propose each chief hold their position for at least four years, so that their efforts might bear fruit."
Go check out those bronze weapons we looted, if we still have any. Continue garnering support for being lifetime chief.
Excited that the old man understood my drawings, I decide to draw us a small distance away, with an arrow directing us to civilization. This may work.
Continue trekking towards the Homeland.
Wonderful! He understands me! Okay, now I point out the cave and usher him to lead me.
Trek onwards! Hopefully I come across a benevolent group of nomads who could lend me a spare mount.
Recruit helpers to build the boat. Promise them possible fame if we can discover new lands. Also, give whoever is the best hunter the position of head hunter.
Get back to my roots and consult the shaman.
See if anything else can be easily accessible food
First of all, Chantutu drools. He then does the sad dance of political irrelevancy. Lastly, he proceeds to search for the Holy Weapons, using his unassuming nature to gain the trust of others.
Inquire about the general status of the tribe. Also, if a strong wind starts to blow, act as though angry that the bronze weapons have gone missing.
((Couldn't hurt to play up the wind spirit bit of I get a chance.))
Set up traps for the animals.
very well we shall simply force him out if he stops acting in our best intrests
go get rid of any alcohol conrak has acquired
Help track down weapons.
Look for clues about the whereabouts of the Fisher Tribe. They were able to reach us, they couldn't be that far
CONTINUE MAINTAINING THE TRAPS I HAVE SET AROUND MY LITTLE PATCH OF FOREST
BUT DON'T KILL ANY MORE MEMBERS OF THE DELTA TRIBE I HAVE BEEN WATCHING, UNLESS I HAVE RUN OUT OF FOOD AGAIN ALREADY. NON-HUMAN CREATURES, MEMBERS OF OTHER TRIBES, THAT SORT OF THING, THOSE ARE ALL FAIR GAME
CONTINUE PONDERING MY NEXT MOVE, WATCHING THE TRIBE FROM AFAR
MAYBE IF I CAN BRING THEM SOMETHING OF VALUE, LIKE A LARGE SUPPLY OF FOOD, I COULD GAIN ACCEPTANCE...
((Was waiting for you to do that, although it may take time between my replies since I have to go in to work soon.))"It is odd how fate works out sometimes. Once you killed a man for advocating it, yet now our people look to you as chief. They will rest their hearts upon you, and you must bear their weight, or else their spirits will be shattered. And so it falls to me to tell you secrets that Arlia and I have kept for many years."
"About what, Elto?"
Request the craftsmen make me a better bow and tomahawk.
Try to find out where the animals gather.
Find his stores again this time try to burn them
(the tribe never did work out what alcohol does when set on fire this should be fun)
Send scouts to look for new food
Try to meditate on it myself.
Give arrows to Tuktu. Determine what problems of the tribe I can best solve.
Chantutu dances a holy dance around the bronze sword for 5 days and 5 nights while singing praises to the spirit of dance. Afterwards, he gives the blessed sword to Lanku, Fool's Champion and Keeper of the Holy Blade. He hopes this will make her a little less disappointed.
Greet the Nomads and offer to trade their got for some some useless trinket I still have on my person, explaining to them its inherent amazing qualities and usage. Hey, I'm not exactly in a position to be making a fair deal.
If they refuse or become hostile, excuse myself and quickly leave, continuing on my journey. Keep the Spear handy in case the situation becomes violent.
Kutuk quietly steps down from his spot on the council, and proceeds with his duties, healing anyone who asks,
Distribute the bronze arrows among the hunters. I trust Kutuk will take care of the coughing sickness so continue looking for weapons, getting angry if a strong wind shows up to further the wind spirit rumor.
THE NEXT TIME ONE OF THE TRIBE'S HUNTERS APPROACHES MY HIDEOUT, CAUTIOUSLY APPROACH THEM
IF THEY SEEM REASONABLE AND NOT PRONE TO SUDDEN VIOLENCE, MAKE MYSELF KNOWN TO THEM IN AS UNTHREATENING A MANNER AS POSSIBLE. ATTEMPT TO BEFRIEND THEM, OFFER FOOD IF IT MIGHT HELP
Bring those youngsters on the boat with me, and also some supplies—baskets of food and waterskins, fishing poles, as well as other assorted stuff. Travel to the south, staying within sight of the coast.
It is time for me to find myself a wife. No ordinary woman would survive the long treks a scout makes on everyday basis, but an agile huntress or able runner would be able to do this... Find if there are such in our tribe.
I continue to follow the old man! I'm so excited, I may adventure on yet!
Upon hearing the news of a hostile warparty gathering,offer to lay traps for them and to assist in the battle that will follow.((This is happening to Fisher Tribe, not ours. I really should update tribesmen list...))

pretend to give up get some alcohol and tell conrak im taking it to his stash as a gesture of surrender once im there set the stash on fire but set it up with a delay so it will Ignite in a few hours he will never know it was me
Chantutututu searches for any interesting non-weapons the captured foreigners may have left behind.
Try to determine what interests the members of my circle and tell stories which relate.
Gather other people to help with this act of great strife.
Kutuk tries to heal himself, while recording the exact symptoms of the disease.
Tuktu tries to teach himself how to fight using the blades while in his tent...unless they are actual blades without a hilt or safe grip. If that is the case, he will try to find a crafter to make a hilt for them. Then, he goes for a walk around the perimeter of the tribe to make sure it is safe. After his walk, he checks to make sure the tribe has enough food.
Approve of their wit and make the trade. Take goat with me onwards. Check the goat for it's gender, as I may not slaughter it if it is a female, and would use it for fresh milk supply instead to keep me hydrated on my travel.
Meet the other tribespeople with me. Continue south.
I decide to refill my water skin, and continue to follow the old man. The field promises a stable land
Perhaps, carefully observing woman and talking to them could reveal some information?

DAMN.
RETURN TO MY HIDING PLACE.
SET UP A NON-LETHAL HUMAN TRAP A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY, IN AN AREA WHERE A HUNTER WOULD BE LIKELY TO TRAVEL. IF I CAN TRAP SOMEONE, DISARM THEM AND CAUTIOUSLY QUESTION THEM ABOUT THE SURROUNDING AREAS- ANYWHERE THAT WOULD BE A MORE LIKELY SPOT FOR ME TO LIVE- BEFORE FREEING THEM.
Who needs them? I've got an apprentice and a small uninhabited island. Let's do this!
Continue past them, due to our hostile experiences with other tribes. Be on the lookout for islands.
Offer to trade them the white goat for a set of valuables and good equipment/weaponry.
The goat is useful, but not something I want to have to drag into the Great Northern Desert.

Request to personally see the tribe chief
Take a strip of animal hide and make it into some sort of holder to keep the swords at my waist. Then, go walk the perimeter of our camp to look for threats and to show off my new regalia and sword holder, with swords.
Chantutu dances into the wilderness, desperate to find something to assuage Lanku's disappointment.
((I think it would behoove us if we had another summary. I'm new to most of this, and reading it's a tad bit much for me. Forgive me of my incompetence. I blame Jef.))
"Could it be? The temple of Komra, god of love and tranquility?"
I approach the cairn and examine it thoroughly. Maybe I'll find some runes...
Turn the earth.Perform fertility ritual to aid in efforts. Make it very public, to increase relevance as shaman.
Bow, as is the culture of our people, and speak politely in our language, asking if they can understand us. If the answer is obviously no, then quickly take a spare tool from our supplies that we do not need, and hand it to the tribe, as a gift.
Go on the island carefully. ((Metagaming ho! That 6 makes me cautious.)) Bring any weapons if we have them, especially my old bow if we have it. Beach the ship.
Trade them my hair for the knife. I was planning to shave it anyways. Ask if I could have some cloth as well so I could make a new turban, as my old one was lost during my capture.
Afterwards, press northern onward with me and the goat.
Chantu performs a dance of gratitude to give thanks to the spirit of nature. He blows through the skull as he does so, noticing that it is preferable to dance with the oddly pleasing noise than without. He continues to blow through the skull as he dances to Lanku and gifts her the artifact.
Turn the earth.
Prepare for any raids from the enemy's war party
Meet with the strangers, seeing if they speak any of the various trade languages known to us. If not, use gestures.
Turn the earth.Perform fertility ritual to aid in efforts. Make it very public, to increase relevance as shaman.
Go oversee the meeting with the strangers.
Spend some time with my wife, then prepare for a new journey. See if she wants to accompany me.

Get all my men back on the boat, and push off as quickly as possible. This meeting seems to be getting a bit heated. If we hand out more, we'll have nothing left. Keep up the pretense of staying, until we suddenly leave and head downstream as quickly as possible, to truly untouched lands for farming.
Sigh and press onwards towards the homelands with Goat. Look for anything of interest, and examine the knife I received for my trade.
Resist the wiles and lusty provocations of Goat. I have a woman at home, but Goat seems intent on claiming me. Not that there's anything against laying with animals, but human/goat offspring results in Saytrs, and I will not help in the creation of any more of those devils!
Begin planting.
Chantutututu, somewhat confused by Lanku's unemotional reaction, considers her state of mind while sticking around to assist in this "planting" process.
Begin planting.Help plant.
Find out how to make better weapons
Make camp next to the village, and begin the world's first siege, do not leave until I can speak to the leader. Send a scout back to the Union to tell them the current situation
Teach Yun some more, and treat any more who are sick.
Ask if they are having trouble with anything.
Pray to the fire spirits for the forest fire to die down. Set up a colony about .5km inland. Bring everything up, and start hunting, also trying the 'farming' that one of our tribesmen discovered.
"If you can convince them to do that, great. If not, we could always take what we want. But I suppose the water and wind spirits must have brought their boat here for a reason. They may set up camp nearby, so that we might keep an eye on them."
Continue overseeing first contact.
"I think your presence may be intimidating the strangers. You may need to appear less fearsome before they flee the meeting."
Try to lower the tension of this meeting.
Hmm, it seems they are giving us their boat. How generous of them." Tuktu comments after seeing the sign language.
Motion for the outsiders to go to the other side of the village. They can have some land over there for now. If then become hostile, react with greater hostility.

((You passed our delta up earlier. How would we have passed you to start a fire?))((Nevermind this post. I realised that I am a few weeks ahead of you. ))
Do some night raids on the enemy's camp
Elto tries giving the strangers a gift, perhaps some of the bird claws he received along the journey.
"What?!" Gonjabet Uthon exclaims into the heavens. "Great Creator of the Universe! I would never dare to defile Goat, rather, it is she who seeks to defile me! Just listen to what she has to see."
"Bwwah. Bwwah." *Munch munch*
"Calm yourself, girl! There is no time for such tomfoolery, we must reach my homeland!"
Begin trek into the Desert. Travel from Dusk to Dawn, rest during the day in shelter away from the sun. Set a point to travel from oasis to oasis, stocking up on food and water while there. Harvest the occasional sweet plants that grow in the desert. Pray regularly.
Its been several days since we've stopped at the cairn; I think it's time to head forward once more.
Hmm, it seems they are giving us their boat. How generous of them." Tuktu comments after seeing the sign language.
Motion for the outsiders to go to the other side of the village. They can have some land over there for now. If then become hostile, react with greater hostility.
Make some bows, houses, and other crafts. Send two other men to bring some women back, and make sure they have supplies for the voyage. Bring the rest of the colonists to check out the fire quickly, after we have bows or other weapons.
You can just time skip this forward however long it takes for them to come back.
continue making the camp, and allow some my party to... persuade the women of the enemy tribe to stop throwing rocks at us
Heal anyone who is still sick with Yun.
Go to where the one who seems to be in charge is gesturing to. "I pray that he's talking to us.... and that he's not giving the signal for execution..."
Agree,head back my tribe.
ascertain if this new tribe has alcohol
Chantutu gives a thumb up to Clangbunk and Lanku, and two thumbs up to the very energetic shaman. He then checks out the new boat that the foreigners have given to the tribe and ponders why they have been allowed to live thus far.
Heal anyone who is still sick with Yun.Go back to the mainland and perform healing rituals to assist in this effort.
Take a small scouting trip with Pallia. Not only that would test her resolve, but it may finally provide the two of us something to talk about!
Respawn!
Chantututututu goes over to the foreigners and begins to dance the dance of temporary non-aggression to put them at ease. He then shows them how to communicate solely through dance, and asks them to divulge their secrets.((Your character has actually become a vital part of the tribe, and managed to communicate a lot non-verbally. How is the tribal idiot one of the most innovative and influential members?))

Prepare for a last raid on the invading war party if they do not retreat
Go off and test my old theories of trapping animals with kindness.
"HE'S LEADING ME BACK HOME!! I CAN'T COME BACK WITHOUT-
Wait... This man may be ill, he needs medical attention!! I guess it's time to help someone out for once."
We continue to my homeland.
Since they are unsettled by me personally, leave negotiations to Tuktu. Make sure I, or at least someone, learns their language.
Send one tribesmen to the foreigners to stay with them and learn their language and any other secrets they might have. Have some tents made for the foreigners while we check out the supplies in the ship.
We will not allow this to stand, Slaughter them
Run to the shore. Tell the two others not to leave yet. Climb a small tree or a rock to get a view of what is happening.
Try holding storytelling sessions again, now that I am more respected. Encourage caution in youth.
Trek forward, shuffling or crawling if I must. Pray for a miracle.
"If nothing else, Goat must make it! She is the true hero, the champion of us all!"
Chantututututu goes over to the foreigners and begins to dance the dance of temporary non-aggression to put them at ease. He then shows them how to communicate solely through dance and asks them to divulge their secrets.
Experiment on poison! Try to use alcohol!
Tell the news of the venture to the Union. Have them prepare for enemy attack
Take the old man to my family's home.
Retell more fancifully!
Through the magic of dance, inquire as to the origin of their tools. If they are still nervous, dance amusingly to further put them at ease. If they have difficulty explaining the specifics, offer them sticks to draw in the ground with.
Head back to my tribe.
Allow animals to observe me placing the food and eventually give it to one directly.
RESPAWN AS THE LEADER OF A HORDE THAT IS INVADING THE 3 TRIBE UNION RIGHT NOW
Go see how the foreigners are doing. Also, if a strong wind presents itself, rage about how crap keeps getting stolen.
Die, after a long and full life. Be noticed in death. Become Yun.
Rest and stock up on Oasis with Goat, then press onwards to the next one. Follow northern stars.
Grab fishing rods and baskets. Sail further south.
Make a powder out of the leaves. Drop some of it into Kutuk's meal to see whether it works. Not a lethal dose, but enough to show results.
...if the guilty are not split into seven parts, one burned, one fed to a wolf, one sunk in the sea, one smashed with a rock, one made into paint of atonement that the family and friends of the murdered will wear for two weeks while they mourn, one soaked in alcohol, the resulting marinade then drunk by the chief, and one dried and displayed above the tent of the chief for all to see.(I'm guessing this was recently devised by the Shaman and/or the rest of the tribe, since we only recently gained access to 3 of these things (the sea, a chief, alcohol.))
((I think our word for foreigners should sound like "Dinner".))
((I partially accidentally poisoned Kutuk to death. Fun things going on, you know?))((Mm. I'm probably going to die in a few turns. I never should have started building boats.))
((This is not a game in which avoiding building boats would somehow save you, really.((I partially accidentally poisoned Kutuk to death. Fun things going on, you know?))((Mm. I'm probably going to die in a few turns. I never should have started building boats.))
((I know. I could have just peacefully gone hunting and stabbing people, though.((This is not a game in which avoiding building boats would somehow save you, really.((I partially accidentally poisoned Kutuk to death.

Also, updated tribes and tribesmen lists. It starts to get quite complicated...))
Chantutu is fascinated by the information that the foreigners provide. He dances over to the chief before the execution and relays the secrets of creating this new material. Afterwards he questions the chief aloud, "How can tribe use information?""We will make them show us how to find the rocks and how to make it step by step. Or maybe we can just make really hot fires and melt their things to make our own things."
Chantutututututu danced back to the foreigners and conveyed to them, using dance and drawings bilaterally as needed, that in exchange for directions to the source of these secret rocks, the foreigners would be made into honorary members of the tribe! Such a wonderful gift for them: this would grant them immunity to xenophobic stabbing and good seats to the shaman's stories!((You tell them that all you like, Tuktu never promised any of that. Especially not the protection from stabbings. :P Although if they prove useful, maybe something could be worked out.))
We have fishing rods, yes? Set anyone not working to fishing duty, and sail to the right.
AFTER BEING POSSESED BY THE FORCE THAT HAD TAKEN THE TWO FISHER TRIBE BROTHERS AND MANY BEFORE THEM, SHE TRIES TO KILL ALL AROUND HERSELF IN REVENGE FOR THE FORCE'S FAILED PLOT TO BUILD UP A POWERFUL EMPIRE TO RULE THE WORLD
Elto catches Kutuk's favorite fish, to put on his funeral pyre.
Say that Kutuk in fact, was plotting against out tribe alongside the Painted Tribe remnants, to poison our water and food supplies. It was all done due to the direness of the situation and patriotism along desperation and lack of time.
Take my Bronze Hoe, and start tilling the earth. As I do this, try to teach the tribesman some of our language by pointing at things, then saying what they are. "This.... this is a 'Hoe'. This.... this is 'DIRT'... this... these are 'STUPID EVIL TRIBESMEN THAT STEAL OUR SUPPLIES'."
Returning from our honeymoon took a bit longer than expected... Mourn the passing of Kutuk with other tribesmen - while old healer wasn't the best person around, he really cared about a tribe as a whole entity... Also, inquire Arlia about rituals needed for pregnant Pallia.
((I think our word for foreigners should sound like "Dinner".))
Play it off, something about the murder causing a disturbance, then make with the execution using my swords. Hope a strong wind comes to back me up.
Oh well. Check on the plants.
Yun quietly steps forward in front of the tribe, and speaks.
"Kutuk would not want them to die for this. Kutuk was a forgiving man, and if he were here, he would let them live. The spirits will understand."
Yun then quietly talks to the Elders.
"I'm...not sure I can replace Kutuk."
Create elaborate story of the creation of the world.
Teach the old man my language and Alphabet!
Carry goat to the next oasis. We will find it, Lord willing!

"Arlia, what are you doing? Surely you realize what these stories will do?"

Get it together. Practice to learn how to use the swords effectively, then sharpen them. Also, continue the hunt for the missing boat supplies.
Chantutututu "high-fives" Lanku, a practice that the doomed man started babbling about near the end. He then goes to the chief to ask him through dance if the tribe should execute or enslave thedinnerdin-nehru.
Take Goat with me to see Despot Shameizz Yaunkere. Tell him and his court the tales of how we were on a trading mission to increase the wealth of the Northern Nation, when we were brutally ambushed by savages, our trade caravan unable to fend off hordes of armed barbarians. We were captured, our weapons and good stolen, and barely escaped with my lives. All of my caravan besides myself perished in the wilderness. I was only able to make it back through willpower, the grace of God and the encouragement of Goat.
Despot: The ultimate political position in the Northern Nation. Despots are chosen by a council of 8, the council consisting of 8 Executive, each representing an eighth of the land of the Northern Nation. Each Executive has responsibilities and powers pertaining to their region. The Executives come together to decide on a Despot, which technically can be any citizen in the Nation, and the decision is to be based on merit, courage, intelligence, trust and leadership. More often than not, it is a prominent educated rich male citizen who just happened to be a well-liked relative, friend, or adviser to the last Despot, though drastic changes have been made. Despots rule until their deaths. They hold great political power, but religious duties go to the Holy Prophet.
Assess the tribes health.
"As healer, do I get a spot on the Council?"
Take the pouch of barely seeds from my side, and start sowing them in the earth. Call the others that are not interested in the murderous barbarians to come and assist me. We all have seed pouches at our sides, and most contain different types of fruit and vegetable seeds.

"How can you say these things when you know many of this generation had foreign grandparents? They may not remember, but should they ever find out, the tribe will surely be at war with itself with these ideas growing amongst them. And they could find out. We may keep the secret, but if they are frenzied and look for evil spirits amongst themselves, they may notice the noses, the eyes, and the hands that are different.""You see this world around us. What are these outsiders but demons."
Chantututu dancefully asks the din-nehru to assist Great Thinker Lanku with planting the seeds. Then they can share in the bounty! Unless of course we decide to kill them. Leave that last part out, though."To as if there is hope for the din-nehru is to ask if the lion will ignore the wounded gazelle. There is no denying the way the spirits created animals and man, and there is no denying that the din-nehru oppose that creation. They will consume this tribe if given the chance. We must take all action to keep them from having a chance."
Chantututu decides to get some more opinions before determining what he should do. He seeks the wise shaman, and through dance asks her if there is any hope for the din-nehru. Can they somehow redeem themselves or are they forever anathema to the First Tribe?
"What has come over you? You would call those amongst us of mixed blood outsiders?

Arlia shakes her head gently. "I'm sorry old friend, but that event must be lost to time, else our tribe might be. Those of mixed blood are human, there is plenty of evidence for that.

Go two days' worth away, or to the opposite side—whichever is shorter.
Check the soles of our boots for seeds that we may have picked up along our travels. Use any spare seeds we can find laying about, and finish seeding the land.
Apollo decides to create cages built for capturing animals in hopes of taming for the Tribe. Preferably, rabbits would be the preferred prey for these new cage traps. Also, start creating a rug of some sort from the largest fur available. Stay away from any dangerous men, aka PCs.
Honor their decision, and leave, for I am tired of Fish. Allow others of the tribe to come with me or stay, if they wish. Wish the Union good luck
"Worry not, sir. We'll find something for you yet."
Look for some work for the old man around town. After, pay a visit to a combat trainer. I must ready myself for future adventures.
Gonjabet Uthon understands the guards preventing him from seeing the Despot, as very few common folk do. However, things change when they confiscate Goat. "NOOOO!" Bellows Uthon as he rushes forward to rescue Goat, catching a glimpse of her before being subjected to a series of punches, kicks, elbows and knee-strikes before ultimately being physically thrown down the Palace steps.
Sink into despair as my closest companion is taken away from me, possibly forever. Give up on telling the government of my tale. Head to the nearest Temple, and speak to some of the Clerics. Describe everything in detail, emphasize that the savages to the Far South resemble Saytrs, one of the more malicious devil-beasts that corrupt the world.
Cleric - Akin to priests or Shamans, the lowest level of religious leader. Their direct superiors are High Clerics, who answer to the Divine Council, which is led by the Holy Prophet. To become a Cleric, one is educated and must pass rigorous testing; some of the most gifted Clerics can solve three-digit Addition problems! Clerics are not allowed Concubines, though unlike commoners they are allowed to have an additional "Religious" wife to guide and care for him spiritually, in addition to a secular wife.
Look for a horse. If I find one, ride it toward [the plot pointed location]. Look for an oasis.

Saying goodbye to Pallia and promising to return soon, I go to scout lands to the south of our delta.

Arlia narrowed her eyes at him. "I realize you let that information slip from your lips all too readily. Perhaps the chief will be reasonable enough to maintain secrecy...""Because... the chief knows.""I know we hoped to take that knowledge to our deaths. But we can't be sure they won't find out.

Walk up to the tribesman in charge, and point to my feet, then points back at me as a whole. I want my boots back. If they give them back, get back to work. If they refuse to comply, then stand around being useless.
Wait till night and find my mugger. Have deadly intentions.
ask my daughter what she thinks of apollo
Chantutututu decides that the foreigners will be made slaves. It is, clearly, only natural that these newcomers dedicate their life to the tribe since the tribe has spared them the fate of all other din-nehru, Chantutututu thinks while rubbing the lumps on his head, dancing in place, and drooling affably.
Happy slaves are the best slaves! As slavemaster friend to the din-nehru, give them their boots back (after getting them from the holy warriors that took them by explaining that slaves need boots to work) and then encourage the din-nehru to get to work burning more land.
Do it! Be the first of riders!
Build a device for easily digging holes for planting by attaching a heavy wooden triangle to a strong man which he would pull making a trench.
Set up camp here, about .5 km inland. Start trying to grow plants, and make some bows for hunting.
Ew, yuck. Mere mortals have no place near me. Train the rabbits to help me avoid the golddiggers and to help find valuables.

Be fisher tribe representative to the 3 tribe union. reveal that I have discovered that the former chief of the fisher tribe had attempted peace with the head's warparty, but the heads just wanted the women and children.

Whistle for a horse! IT shall be my trusty steed, and it shall be known as Policzytańczykówianeczka! And then kill a boar and make a hat out of it!
In my travels, I have learnt bits from many languages, but, most importantly, a sign one. Strike up a somewhat friendly conversation with female din-neru.
Design a complicated system using rope and notched wheels attached to trees so that you have to pull three arbitrary units of rope to lift the thing tied to the end one arbitrary unit. This makes sense for reasons.
Go find and tame a wild animal, preferably one big enough to ride. Maybe then I will be back to my old self. If that fails, I could just slaughter the foreigners until I feel better.
Offer spiritual justification for enslaving the din-nehru.
Move to a better place.
Search around for a more legitimate and experienced trainer.
There was a time when Arlia voiced some regret over a "din-nehru," as they now called them. And that one had been a threat, who's death was justifiable. Kutuk would have objected to the treatment of these new strangers who were now captive. Elto sighed. What was the tribe coming to...
Needing some time away from the tribe to think, Elto organizes a small group for a whale hunt.
Set out more traps throughout the forest and continue training the rabbits that remain.

WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED RECENTLY? WHAT ACTIVITY HAVE I OBSERVED?
HOW ARE MY FOOD STOCKS?
Chantu challenges the holy warriors to re-steal the plows and show those incompetent din-nehru how real humans do it! With the holy warriors hopefully overcome by horrible xenophobic oneupmanship, Master of Dance Chantu invites the uninjured din-nehru to attend a mandatory dance party. Being a slave of the First Tribe is fun!
Tribal members are invited too (though for them it is optional, of course)! In fact, a big invitation goes to the chief to help him recover his mojo! This will hopefully lower tensions between the tribe and the din-nehru.
Yun goes with Elto on the trip, and pulls him aside at one point to talk.
"Elto, this is horrifying. We can not let this continue!"
Chantututu approaches Arlia and dances the dance of worry. He communicates that the holy warriors are too dedicated to their duties and are disrupting the well-being of the din-nehru and slowing work. He requests that the shaman order them to disband or at least temporarily stand down, for they are doing more harm than good.

Chan, his tus missing while he mourns the loss of his slave-friends, goes back to his roots and does amusing dances for the din-nehru in an attempt to raise their spirits. It should also heal their wounds, as laughter is the best medicine.

This may be manipulative to a degree but it will get the job done. Attempt to design a small pitfall trap that is not big enough for human feet to fall in, but large enough for the thin legs of deer and dogs. That will teach them to call us "Bigfoot".

(At what age would we be at, bronze age, iron age?)
Gonjabet Uthon transverses the Northern Nation in despair and destitute, never managing to pick up solid work again, nor getting any success in popularizing his story. On the last day of his life, during the Crescent Moon Celebration, he stores his Stone Tablet in the Great Archive, (a proto-library that preserves important records) in hopes that someone will read all of it someday. When the celebrations are in full swing, he climbs to the top of the Great Archive and stands on the edge of the roof, looking down at the roughly 25-meter drop. He jumps.i hope that one day a historian digging up an ancient ruin will discover the tablet intact and his story will be known
In the coming generations, the Northern Nation expands and prospers. Science and technology lead to the beginning of the Iron Age, with Blacksmithing, Agriculture, and Transportation being some of the main fields profiting from the development. A group of scholars, after having way too much to drink one night, accidentally conceive Algebra.
While this is all great, the negative developments come in the rapid expansion of population, with the number of Executive Council members swell from 8 to 14. With this sudden surge in numbers and overall influence, the Executives have begun taking some of the Despot's power, especially with a chain of less capable Despots that had trouble checking the power of the Council. Sure, the Despot still controls much of society, but the Executives have their hands on many economic, cultural and educational aspects. Executives, through the usage of influence and wealth, have begun hiring private armies, bodyguards, spies and assassins. Fighting is not uncommon among the Executives as they wage either explicit or covert warfare against the current Despot, the bourgeoisie whenever they get too strong for the Council's comfort, or most often, rival Executives. This political instability has in turn allowed crime to spike. As the elected Council obtains more power, they form a sort of primitive Parliamentary organization.
Notably, the population of white goats has swelled to the thousands.
In this era of discovery and chaos, a rich, educated Explorer titled Sango Isthbat has acquired a crew and a ship, and aims to set sail and discover new lands beyond what any of his predecessor had found.

They were too horrifying to exist in the first place. Also, Chantutu proved that information could be extracted by much less violent methods. He survived - and that confirms that his strategy is viable.

In all seriousness I would like to know if the tribe ever manages to work out contraceptivesbah i was just acting out because i was sexually repressedYou know? Alcohol is detrimental to the progress (proved by Conrak). Also... Sadly, only a few tribesmen remember your face after all those beverages.and im sure i must have invented some effective torture techniques the survivers must have told somebody about them-snip-What about alcohol!? It was Meshok's invention, and was very popular afterwards!

Stay with them, and bring our stuff to their village. Try to learn their language.
((What happened with Chantutu?))
((Have to say, Tuktu is my favorite character for being such a badass. I wish him luck!))((I wholeheartedly second this. Killing a whole tribe and several groups of proficient hunters while alone, outstubborning a donkey, scaring violent tribesmen into unconditional submission... Lanku & Chantututu duo comes close.))
Arlia becomes progressively more bitter and withdrawn, blaming all of the tribes woes on the din-nehru. Eventually she is treated as a deranged old woman, rather than the wise elder she once was, and people ignore her ramblings.(Damnit, missed posting an action last turn.)
I have to say guys, this is by far my favorite Roll to Dodge. I hope I'll get a bigger part in Gen 2, but we'll have to see.((I second this. This game has become truly incredible.))

I feel ya.
aww i would rather we not do the generation ending thing but ok
I spend the rest of my life with my pet rabbits caring for them and generally loving them
also nice touch naming them after the fallen
(Sounds like a good deal to me.)
The main things I want to do is make the Heads strong again, tame and control the beasts that live here, hopefully recreate a union which appreciates us, and properly colonize the oasis we live in.
(At what age would we be at, bronze age, iron age?)
The former shaman's apprentice lead a revolution of agriculture. No, not in the style of the American revolution, but the style of the industrial one. After finding the best plants to farm (via the guidelines of Guns, Germs and steel), he did just that, farm. He picked the best plants of his farm and planted the seeds that they grew. After seeing how successful that was, some of the former fisher tribe soon started other farms. Soon, farming was in full swing, and all the benefits that can be accessed at this stage were there. Grithclock was soon known to the 2 tribe union to be the god of agriculture (or what-other name) ((is this good?
((What alcohol will be there? Will Meshok be a hero for every person in the world for inventing alcohol? How many times Matikira's corpse has been spit on!? So many questions, so little time!))
Dukud throughout the years became the deadliest fighter on the lone praire, and only because of his invention, the lasso. The Praire Dweller (his legendary name) then married a farmer woman who gave him a son. And many years later, when he got old, he gave his son his lasso. This became the tradition of this family, father giving his son a lasso on his deathbed. The family grew, living in the desert, occasionally going to other cities and tribes for trade. But as years flew by, there wasn't any man able enough to become the head of the group. And to top it all off, a disaster struck. Ocut, a grand grandchild of Dukud, lost his mother, two sisters and brother in a raid of an undisclosed group. In pursuit of revenge, he became...
Tuco!
Arlia becomes progressively more bitter and withdrawn, blaming all of the tribes woes on the din-nehru. Eventually she is treated as a deranged old woman, rather than the wise elder she once was, and people ignore her ramblings.
Yun continues his duties as healer, healing everyone, even the din-nehru. He also constantly works against the mistreatment of the din-nehru, harboring a deep grudge for those who enslaved them in the first place.
Bronn, for the remainder if his days, will train to his physical peak, and search the world for great wealths. He'll never love again, as he feels his sister had been taken away, and his family did nothing to help her.
Gonjabet Uthon transverses the Northern Nation in despair and destitute, never managing to pick up solid work again, nor getting any success in popularizing his story. On the last day of his life, during the Crescent Moon Celebration, he stores his Stone Tablet in the Great Archive, (a proto-library that preserves important records) in hopes that someone will read all of it someday. When the celebrations are in full swing, he climbs to the top of the Great Archive and stands on the edge of the roof, looking down at the roughly 25-meter drop. He jumps.
In the coming generations, the Northern Nation expands and prospers. Science and technology lead to the beginning of the Iron Age, with Blacksmithing, Agriculture, and Transportation being some of the main fields profiting from the development. A group of scholars, after having way too much to drink one night, accidentally conceive Algebra.
While this is all great, the negative developments come in the rapid expansion of population, with the number of Executive Council members swell from 8 to 14. With this sudden surge in numbers and overall influence, the Executives have begun taking some of the Despot's power, especially with a chain of less capable Despots that had trouble checking the power of the Council. Sure, the Despot still controls much of society, but the Executives have their hands on many economic, cultural and educational aspects. Executives, through the usage of influence and wealth, have begun hiring private armies, bodyguards, spies and assassins. Fighting is not uncommon among the Executives as they wage either explicit or covert warfare against the current Despot, the bourgeoisie whenever they get too strong for the Council's comfort, or most often, rival Executives. This political instability has in turn allowed crime to spike. As the elected Council obtains more power, they form a sort of primitive Parliamentary organization.
Notably, the population of white goats has swelled to the thousands.
In this era of discovery and chaos, a rich, educated Explorer titled Sango Isthbat has acquired a crew and a ship, and aims to set sail and discover new lands beyond what any of his predecessor had found.
If he won't be rescued, Haphan would spend some time as a prisoner, to ultimately escape and return to his tribe once again. Not one to settle down, he would take several more dangerous expeditions, finding more wonders of nature and meeting different people. He won't die on his deathbed, for sure. If you're feeling generous, allow him to grow old and wiry. Then, he would go on the last trip together with equally old Pallia - never to come back... Who knows where his restless bones would finally find a place to settle down?
Apollo continues his efforts to civilize/domesticate the rabbits and replace their urge for human blood and manages to compile all of the research on rabbit behaviors onto stone tablets.
Join with the villagers. Over time, try to make more boats and become a raiding culture, called the Kurgs. Try to get the whole island under our influence.
((Chantututu was a ridiculously effective idiot, even if he did have some problems near the end. He will be missed, but hopefully his love of dance-communication will live on!))
Chantututu manages to nurse some of the din-nehru back to health and lead them to prospect the necessary minerals for bronze. He is known to be a very gentle but fairly effective taskmaster, and the future din-nehru dance parties are much less savage and much more fun. The First Tribe flourishes with the tools they craft from this material.
As the years go on, he becomes slightly more mature, but never stops playing dangerous pranks with Lanku that almost cause disaster. He also never stops dancing, forgoing the use of words entirely. Eventually he has several children, all but a few quite lumpy, with Lanku, who remains Great Thinker of the tribe and expert farmer. The children are all noted for their exceptional interpretive dancing skill and eccentric cleverness. He lives to an old age and does amusing dances to the day he dies.
TRY HARDER!
Hmm...how to end it...
I suppose the first thing to do would be to rescue Haphan and destroy that warrior tribe. Tuktu will continue leading the tribe for the rest of his life and doing the occasional badass feat, like maybe taming an elephant or something. He will take consorts and have children, training them to be even greater warriors than himself. Perhaps he would even get the tribe to follow him out of respect instead of fear. As Arlia became deranged, he would slowly shift the tribe's view to be less xenophobic, so that they wouldn't freak out when he revealed the secret of their heredity. Using his tribe's prowess in bronzeworking to give them an edge in battle, he would go on to assimilate others tribes around his, either through conquest or negotiation, and build an empire, or at least a coalition of tribes paying tribute to his tribe. Tuktu will pass away in his sleep at an old age, on the day of a great storm. Tribal legends will say that the wind spirit returned to its place, and he shall be worshipped as the Greater Spirit of Conquest and Combat. His oldest son will be elected the next chief.
Elto spends his remaining years trying to steer the tribe from their hateful ways. If he cannot, he at least tries to displace their blame from foreigners to the demons of the ocean. Above all, he makes sure the lessons learned over nearly 80 years are not forgotten by the younger. He will live, as always, for the tribe, and die for the tribe if need be.
Lerka will spend her time trying to avoid the violence of her captors, ever seeking a chance to escape.
If a long time passes and she still has not escaped, she will attempt to win a place in the tribe rather than die horribly when they become bored. Mostly, though, she hates them for having imprisoned her and wants nothing more than freedom, at any cost.
I spend the rest of my life sowing seeds, and protecting those who came with me. We first established a water source, a well, and then we irrigated our farms, planted seeds, and lived a good life.
Talonis spends the rest of his life uneventfully, and imparts what learning his original tribe had with the goat herders as they share theirs. He dies having had many sons and daughters, including Talonis Junior of the second generation.[/i]
Stop. Stop that. No dying for me.
Yeah. Most players were aged above 20 and in Playergamer epilogue we see that over 70 years has passed. This most surely bares everyone from survival. Especially a hypothetical daft nearly ninety-year-old ruin going under the name Zaju.Stop. Stop that. No dying for me.Much dying for you. Verily. You need to roll way better than 3 to last past the age of 90.

According to paleontological data, human life expectancy (for those who survived the high mortality of childhood, since dead children skew the average lower) was usually 45-55 years, with disease being the most common cause of death. Those who lived past that tended to live much longer, though again, they were outliers. 90 years would be a freak of nature.
I'd say Elto lived, at most, 80 years. People could lose track after a couple decades in these kind of societies.
Sango Ishbat finds himself penniless after Executive Razzto had stripped him of all his valuables. Rather than fighting back, Sango accepts his fate, as he's actually now in a position to leave the forsaken pandemonium of the Northern Nation. He's never been much of a laborer, but he's still young enough to learn new things. "To Hell with all this! I am off for brighter horizons," curses Sango as he boards the sailing vessel.((My conversation colour is teal. You could a add a glow or something.))
As we set sail, get to know my fellow crew, especially the higher-ups. Developing bonds with others will be vital when exploring and surviving far-off lands.
I am Marnik, a wandering warrior whose tribe perished of a great plague when I was away on a raid. I will lead the remaining warriors of my tribe to the lands of the great first tribe seeking to trade our service as warriors for food, shelter, and a new home.you gonna get enslaved
This strange feeling, when aspiring sexual maniac seems far more dangerous than Tuktu himself. Tuypo, do you really need this? Not that I object, but it still buggers me.Eh I don't need to but I decided I would besides all my attempts at romance failed last generation they will probably fail this time as well
I am now Igni, son of Alyce, grandson of Jones, Great grandson of Rune. I am a miner in this small little farming colony.
Mine.
Do we start the Second Generation now? If so,
I am Hati, a man who was disowned long ago from his family. I look at my surroundings, looking for things of use as I heft my trusty Hammer onto my shoulder.
I am Yun, a ranking official in the Tribe's system of healers, which has been expanded along with the tribe itself. I am named after Yun the Healer, who started the (unimaginatively named) Yun family, a well known family of healers. I am currently at a meeting with some of the other ranking healers, discussing the health, wellness, and affairs of our tribe.
I am the Ocit, named later Tuco for his legendary actions, on a quest to retrieve the first lasso and become a living legend! Look for clues towards the nature of the tribe to the east and the place of the artifact I desire; The Lasso of the Founder, the very tool my grand grandfather created!
(Iron age would probably be in the generation after this, since the world is only barely entering the bronze age.)
I am Vushnik, sole survivor of a salt-mining village in the extreme end of the continent. With only my sled-dogs and the meager possessions on the sled they pull, I flee to the nearest neighbors.
I am Ron, offspring of the Heads and the Ochre, son of the chief and shaman of their respective tribes, and one of the spokesman of the union. Begin the search of a new chief, for I am peacemaker, not leader
I am Graxlor, one of the many smart and ambitious Gull Fishers! (the 2 tribes union thing for fishers assimilated into the Gulls.) Try to find out how to do metalworking
And so, ends the First Generation. New adventures await us on the road of progress!
I'm now Aska, third daughter of Oleth the warrior, son of the passed Ratog the Mighty, second son of Haphan and Pallia. Aspiring huntress and dedicated warrior, I found something on my trip to the desert.
Sango Ishbat finds himself penniless after Executive Razzto had stripped him of all his valuables. Rather than fighting back, Sango accepts his fate, as he's actually now in a position to leave the forsaken pandemonium of the Northern Nation. He's never been much of a laborer, but he's still young enough to learn new things. "To Hell with all this! I am off for brighter horizons," curses Sango as he boards the sailing vessel.
As we set sail, get to know my fellow crew, especially the higher-ups. Developing bonds with others will be vital when exploring and surviving far-off lands.
I am Kon, a teenager aspiring to be a great warrior, as great as a legendary wind spirit from long ago!
I am Iatep, only son of Iapethet, the lame goatherd. My charges prosper under my watchful gaze, and with a bronze spearhead attached to the bottom of my crook I defend my livelihood.
Inspect my herd for any injuries or disease, hoping for pregnancies, then escort them to the plains, protecting my herd from those darn predators with my dog, Pok.
I am Gripmaw, the Librarian and Rabbit Keeper of the First Tribe. Gripmaw shall clean the library's Stones of Knowledge and start investigation into a standardized writing system so as to facilitate information-keeping. He shall also check on the Old Rabbit Farm and catalog the current traits and behaviors of the new rabbit generation.
I am Harlon, spiritual, though not physical, descendant of Arlia. Tell stories to establish innovation as a spiritual duty of all members of the First Tribe.
I am Tuktu Khan, great grandson of Tuktu and current King of the First Tribe. Take a walk through the main village to see what is going on.
I am Jax, miracle rock salesman. I seek a nearby village to hawk my miraculous stock, having been wrongly kicked out of my previous village for making "false" claims about my products.
I am the nameless bastered son of talonises grandson who has being sent as tithe to the first tribe
I am Eigon, eldest grandson of Kurgle, living on the Isle of Ash as a boatman. I am departing tomorrow on a journey to the mainland to bring foreigners here.
I am Zon, a warrior armed with a spear. Inquire about any journeys to the mainland.
I am Marnik, a wandering warrior whose tribe perished of a great plague when I was away on a raid. I will lead the remaining warriors of my tribe to the lands of the great first tribe seeking to trade our service as warriors for food, shelter, and a new home.
This strange feeling, when aspiring sexual maniac seems far more dangerous than Tuktu himself. Tuypo, do you really need this? Not that I object, but it still buggers me.
((I'd meant to wind up in some cold and frozen place. Oh well :(. Does this continent even have a cold region?))
(This continent must be small-ish and equatorial. Perhaps there can be a land bridge or strait or something to a land further towards temperate zones. But I doubt this character would ever find such a thing.)
"Yun, I wish to speak with you about your family's stance on spirituality."Regardless of the status of conversation with Player.
you know despite everything not once did the first tribe ever go to war we razed a couple vilages but no warsI'm sure my bloodthirsty rabbits will happily go to war with our enemies.
well i think we had wars during the time skip between generations but not during the game i do hope i get my big sword replaced with a short sword i will be the most epic badass of epic badassery when i go to war.you know despite everything not once did the first tribe ever go to war we razed a couple vilages but no warsI'm sure my bloodthirsty rabbits will happily go to war with our enemies.
harry could we get a list of the weapons the tribe uses
You mean second most epic. Until you manage to slaughter most of a whole other tribe by yourself and tame two donkeys.well i think we had wars during the time skip between generations but not during the game i do hope i get my big sword replaced with a short sword i will be the most epic badass of epic badassery when i go to war.you know despite everything not once did the first tribe ever go to war we razed a couple vilages but no warsI'm sure my bloodthirsty rabbits will happily go to war with our enemies.
although if im gonna be a guard i probably wont get to fight in a war unless im defending the village.
i will be epic not in numbers killed but in awesome ways i kill although yes the donkey were impresiveYou mean second most epic.

"Why do you wish to speak to me? I have no matters involving the spiritual currently."Harlon bowed his head.
Find a donkey. Kill it, skin and eat it, and make a lasso along with a grand hat.
((Now I dunno really what to do. The only goal my character had is rotten in some swamp or wherever.))
"Is it the fabled delta that Kurgle spoke of?"
Continue north to the objective.
Join the warrior training! I will become a great warrior!
Get a wagon, fill it with food, and set off in search of more mineral deposits. With my trusty bronze pick, of course.
Go and look for unguarded travelling merchants.
I must legitimize my rulership. I shall go out of the village to tame a great beast of the wild using my wits. Hopefully my Honor Guard will come with me.
Jax will seek an audience with the leader of this Eldarian village. It's best to start with a glowing testimonial from someone in authority, he finds, before moving on to the populace at large.
Figure out what metal is by looking at exposed copper ore.
After bonding with my fellow slaves, create a plan for Mutiny. When the time is right, sneak with the most trusted of companions in the middle of the night, and ambush our sleeping owners, bludgeoning them with great discrimination.
Offer some salt in exchange for supplies and hospitality, since salt is very valuable. Even nomads need salt.
If I can get hospitality or at least not get attacked, try to repair the sledge.
Blood of the finest scouts and explorers that flows in my veins won't let me ignore such discovery! Wait a day or two to see if city accepts travelers. If yes, then I could just come in and study it and it's inhabitants from inside. If no, further scounting is needed.
Yun slowly decides, over time, that a great way to get even more gossip is to be a good healer, and begins to work on his healing skills.
Return to our creation story as the basis for spirituality, and emphasize the fact that the spirits populated this world to give the First Tribe fertile land to work, and wonderful territory to live in. The spirits are gift-givers, and while the din-nehru are a threat to that gift, they are not centrally important as they were in the interpretation which sought to establish duties with respect to them.
yeah i noticed the buggery thing there to i thought i had mentioned it but it seems i didn't anyway
request a smaller sword i will specialize in short swords as a warrior
woo im a warrior
Continue developing the written language via closely examining the separate writing styles of the stone tablets and basing the new standardized script on the ideas of writers. Create Ideographs. Also, give a boost to the rabbit breeding efforts by poisoning the food supply. Those who are smart enough to sniff out the poison or the ones that are just immune will live and reproduce more valuable rabbits.
I speak with my new comrades and try to learn about their styles of fighting. If I can improve my own skills by learning from them or they can learn anything from me, work with them to improve ourselves. Also, I ask if this tribe uses the bow to fight, as it was the primary weapon of my people. Finally I enquire about what my duties are as a retainer to the House of Yun.
Iatep prepares the supplies he'll need for the journey to the First Tribe's main settlement, a familiar enough trip. With everything in order, he makes sure his father has enough food to last until Iatep's return, then sets off with the herd and Pok.
Slaughter some goats, then take the results (minus some choice cuts for myself, of course) and a few live ones to market. Catch up on the rumor mill as well.
((tuypo got the hammer.))

What'd he do?
(This made me laugh out loud yet sad at the same time.)Find a donkey. Kill it, skin and eat it, and make a lasso along with a grand hat.
((Now I dunno really what to do. The only goal my character had is rotten in some swamp or wherever.))
[6] You are soon (the process takes a few days) the proud possessor of a donkey skull helm and a lasso created of woven, stretched intestines, and also more donkey flesh than you know what to do with. You suppose your lasso might not be the First Lasso. You also suppose that nobody cares, and you could very well call it the First Lasso if you felt like it. Or the First Lariat, even. That would be even more elegant a name.
Perhaps it would even alleviate the fact that you're alone and everybody you know is now dead.
Hm. Sad to say this, good people, but I do not seem able in terms of energy and attention span to run 6 games at the same time. And since the study semester's starting, I don't see this changing. So, I'm putting this on indefinite hiatus. Perhaps dropping it altogether. Sorry again.Ok. It was very fun while it lasted.
