Gar: "How do you make sure you don't ruin the rock - or the ore - that you're mining?"

Gar: now on the wagon, will strike up conversations with those who have been familiarising themselves with mining. He seems to have gained a sudden interest, and would like to know what they managed to learn.

Not from the humans, as far as I know.

Just read it; Happy tomorrow birthday, CoughDrop!

Sorry, this one took quite a long time. I'll find ways to simplify everything

After this update, I'll probably stop describing dice rolls, though I'll probably give indicators if a failure or success seemed very likely to a kobold.

Fuzz:

Fuzz is joined by Ungbuktu and Nreelrroi, and the three of them maneuvered the jagged rock into place with easy. The two males were distracted by the eagerness of the female, however, and she ended up doing most of the work.
+2 logs

In a good mood despite not having accomplished a great deal, Fuzz began to work hard digging up a patch of soil so the ground was nice and loose. While the work was very tiring, the little kobold quickly found techniques to make it easier, and was done in good time.

Finally, he took a solid stick and began carving holes to hold the sharp stones he had found earlier. The stones fit in, but would probably get dislodged by a good impact.
+1 crude mace-stick

Schlakal:

As you journey back from the camp, you keep a look out for any prey, and spot a troop of six baboons. They have no idea you're anywhere nearby as you get in position and draw back the bowstring.

You fire two arrows into a baboon and kill it before you're even noticed. One of them tries to grab the freshly-dead baboon, but you shoot it in the head with a single bolt. The rest of the troop go screaming away. and you place an arrow into one baboon's rump for good measure before you retrieve your kills.

You trip over the corpses a few times on your way back, but the tribe is still impressed by a job well done. Two of the arrows are hopelessly broken, but one is still in tact.
+2 baboon corpses
-3 shoddy bone arrows

Tiggi:

Like Schlakal before you, you too enter the camp unnoticed. The guards seem a little more alert, however, and the odds are that they've noticed the missing goods. You'll have to be more careful. You spend some time moving around the edge of the camp, just barely avoiding the gaze of several recruits rounding corners. They're patrolling frequently, and there doesn't seem to be an ideal time to move. You take a deep, silent breath and dart across the open area to the tent. You tuck a handful of arrows into your loincloth and grab an item in each hand. Even with all this stuff, you have no problem making it out of there.
+14 wooden arrows
+any two small-medium wooden weapons/bucklers

Nreelrroi:

Everyone was pleased by your catch, and you were elated by being useful to the tribe (and because the chief wouldn't have to eat you now). You decided to keep being useful, and felt like the most useful one of all! Even after the others stopped cutting trees, you kept going because you didn't have much else to do. Despite the weight of the rock, you did a good job of cutting the tree. It started falling sooner than you expected, however, and in your fright you dropped the saw on your foot, bruising it!
+2 logs
very minor wound

SmallOne:

You squeeze some of the food-berries, and, unsurprisingly, delicious berry juice squirts into your eyes. You feel silly and hope nobody saw you.

You head out to find some non-food-berries. Unfortunately, you only manage to find normal food-berries, though you bring back enough for a meal.
+8 berry meals

---

Ichi:

You make the journey to the town unnoticed, and push yourself to look around at the forge. It's quite scary being this close to the humans, but you keep control of yourself and find out quite a lot about the town's schedule.

You begin the trek back, gathering sticks as you go. You're not disappointed, and find some pretty decent sticks. You're still a ways from the cave, though.
+7 decent sticks

---

Ungbuktu:

After watching Nreelrroi cut a tree for a while, you wander off and claim a remaining half-log. You carve out the inside and produce a bucket almost as nice as SmallOne's. You decide to fill it with dangerous bugs, and feel clever when you remember a spot you recently found a bee's nest. You rush to the tree and throw rocks at the nest until it falls, and you catch it in your bucket.
+1 sturdy wooden bucket of beehive

The bees, understandably, sting you quite nastily.

Gar: opens his eyes and looks up excitedly, "I can feel it! I can feel iron way beneath the city!"

Actions posted so far:
Fuzz: cut small trees with the heavy sawrock, dig a garden plot, make a club
Schlakal: hunt, return home
Tiggi: steal from the camp
Nreelrroi: celebrate fishing, help Fuzz cut trees
SmallOne: squeeze berries, find poison berries
Ichi: continued action - go to the forge in town, scout
Ungbuktu: help Fuzz cut trees, make a bucket, collect dangerous bugs

Going to start running this turn in the next 10 minutes or so.

That's fine. The idea was more that people who didn't get actions, or as comprehensive actions before reached you just as you were leaving the camp.
