-but alcohol! Alcohol is love, alcohol is life!
Perhaps... Vague memory of your existence might be shaped into a new Greater Spirit by the next shaman. Spirit of Fermentative Happiness or something. Who knows?

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.

(I'd like to point out that Yun may have a huge lasting effect on the tribe, depending on how his actions about the din-nehru are taken.)

-snip-
What about alcohol!? It was Meshok's invention, and was very popular afterwards!
and im sure i must have invented some effective torture techniques the survivers must have told somebody about them
You know? Alcohol is detrimental to the progress (proved by Conrak). Also... Sadly, only a few tribesmen remember your face after all those beverages.

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.
bah i was just acting out because i was sexually repressed
In all seriousness I would like to know if the tribe ever manages to work out contraceptives

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.

Stay with them, and bring our stuff to their village. Try to learn their language.

Upgrading font at the end of the turn post to 16 pts! Generation's ending, good fellow. Actions need to be made on a grand scale!

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. Eventually, the position of chief will become hereditary, although right to lead can always be challenged in trial by combat or by opinion of a majority of the tribe.

((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.))

Also, Beirus, how about letting Tuktu die on the day of the greatest storm? Malevolent wind spirit leaving its mortal shell to be feared forevermore?

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.)

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.
