Yeah sorry, someone blew up a street in my state and took the internet down for multiple days with it.
This really happened. 2020 was wild.

The journey is uneventful. Hunters go out, and return with more beasts several more of the ratlike creatures. Samana mostly stays behind, making sure the burnwolf does not flee. It seems oddly subdued by your presence. Damena leads the tribe in chanting praises and sacrificing some of the captured beasts, while other tribesmen slash at themselves and use the bloody knives to carve totems of you, scattering them about that others may learn of your glory.

It's enjoyable enough, but eventually grows a bit boring, although things do grow more interesting when some of the women fall pregnant. You can feel the little lives growing in their stomachs, and sense they may be affected by your presence. The ratlike beasts have also had a couple litters, and the children seem noticeably larger than their parents, but also far less cowed by you. If this continues, you may prove unable to direct their mutation.

Eventually, you reach Satva lands, and in a stroke of luck, you run across one of their members, a slim man wearing a set of dark leather armor which seems to shift slightly. He is knelt before you, writhing in terror but unable to escape the grip of two of your stronger followers. His mind opens to you, and you rapidly learn many things. First, the Satva are in contact with several different tribes. Second, they have at least a vague idea of how to work copper. Or at least he has, having successfully snuck into Caz through a tunnel. Third, the Satva are moving further east, and are another five day’s journey from where you are.

Force this man to share the secret of copper, and move onwards to the Satva tribe.

1+ Copper now that has interesting implications it does show that what ever tribe/village can have people specialize and not have any problems with food Which does imply agriculture or at least some fine hunting grounds both are useful for us

From what you have gleaned, it’s not so much agriculture as taking food in trade for copper: they have traveling bands, and tribes go to them to offer food and other supplies in exchange for tools.

Trembling, and with frequent, pathetic requests for mercy, the man begins to speak, describing how the Caz scratch at the side of their hills and dig tunnels braced with tree branches to gather up various rocks, mostly green or shiny brown ones. They take these rocks and throw them in fires enclosed in clay, and molten copper comes out and is molded and hammered into shape.

Hesitantly, he reaches into his pouch and pulls out a few pieces of shiny brown stone, holding them up to you. As you examine the rocks, the Satva elbows one of his guards and then runs off, his armor shifting to make him nothing more than a vague shadow. Unfortunately for him, he runs in a blind panic and so heads straight to Samana and the burnwolf, which looks eager for the meal, charging forth and swatting him to the ground. He isn’t dead yet, but he will be if you don’t do something soon.

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

Let them savage him a bit, then pull him back to us. Don't heal him, but set it up so that our magic sustains his body. Should he attempt to betray us or run away, we'll cut off the magic.
