>>5997970Proper vessels would do much for the tribe. Pilgrims on their journey of proving seek it out, following their sixth sense. The vassals are promised places of honor if they can find it. The tribe dreams of hot soups and drinks. The dirt under where fire traps burn and pilgrim bonfires roar is checked. It has to be somewhere!> Take another stab at finding suitable earthware materials and learning the art of pottery.(I'm not entirely clear what the rules on repeated attempts are.

They shall carve them through the stone for create better and more refined living spaces for themselves, the desired result : is a series of spherical huts that would almost seem born out of the stone and partial reminiscing eggs of Underhunters in their form. Inside there would be only three rooms one used for craft/make and devour/drink, one used for sleep and a smaller one for keep the companions Holey Moleys inside. The Tribe will decorate this huts with bone trophies, some painting and Fire Fern dried foliage this last one important for sleeping and keeping some warmth.

We have Vassals handling dangerous tasks like Fire Fern collecting. I will reattempt Glasshouses, make them thicker, sturdier so we can grow Frost Flowers. If I succeed, With Pod Seeds, Dahu Meat, Fire Ferns and Frost Flower Juice I feel we could focus a bit more on culture make that Council actually mean something

I could do either. For the moment I'll shephard Cerulan&Lilac. They can have it back if they want of course. >The artists of Cerulan&Lilac drape the halls of the Mirror Hall with illusions of distant nests and use these memorials to maintain long distance teleportation gates.

>>6001039Improved roofs, insulation and defense, multi-level buildings in the walls, and reinforce the hidden bunkers
Badback :>Trade Deal : 88!This time, you get the upper hand in the upcoming trade. By supplying 8 Domesticated Fatty - improving Jupiter's agriculture - and a couple slaves to tend for them, you learn the secret of writings from Jupiter. Of course, this deal does not include the clay tablets and their cooking to keep the records. You had to find your own way...>How do you keep records? Ice slabs? Ivory plates from Fatty's shells? >Warp Trail : 69!Your people slowly and meticulously (at least real member of the tribe, not those disposable slaves) build up the way North.Paving the webway and extanding it, the era is enough to let the Matriarch die knowing you'll bring together another tribe in your merchant alliance.>Contextual action : you can meet BurningGrass as a free action this turn.Grassgreen : Pottery>76!Finally, you found the prized snow-rock. Like Jupiter, there are ample amount of this precious material... under the layers of snow of the plains, where the passageway lead out of the crack. Unlike Jupiter, the snow-rock is yellow and not red.Using the fire mastery, you soon have your own Earthenware. Of course, those first out of the moss pit are cruder than the decades and decades of refined practice from Jupiter.Ghostclaw : Stonecarved houses>96!The Ghostclaw clan moved away from their cavern habitat, into deformed-egg shaped stone houses.The upper space have small, Hunter-sized alcoves laced with Fire Ferns, forming comfy beddings.The middle space is dedicated to work and eat.The lower space is dedicated to the Holey Moley. They can tunnel out from the houses from below.Overall, those durable habitations are an impressing display of power over the other tribes.>Whitemane : Glasshouse adaptation for Frost Flower>33In a most frustrating turn of events, the Glasshouse way of nestbuilding keeps eluding you. Your tribe, once more, makes no progress.>BurningGrass : Strategic Resource Securement>14Despite the dreams of the Matriarch, the harsh weight of reality catches up. Your logistic chain is stranded too thin to allow you more conquest.More exactly, the tunnels carved from Eternal Ice Keep allow easy travel toward even your newly conquered territory, but the challenges of communication and keeping fed your Hunterpower prevents you from taking control of the prized Lightning Rock location for now.
>Jupiter : Waterproof Mortar>Un-natural 100!The Jupiter Tribe made a wondrous discovery in their building material.Mixing ash, snow-rock and grounded regular crack rock gives a Waterproof mortar. First, your secret bunkers are waterproofed and their cracks are colmated. Then, your houses are built upon and improved.The most critical ressource for Jupiter is room, as the Vertical dwelling of the tribe is narrow. The favored way of construction of the tribe is stone-laced mortar houses. The first tries of the new material is promising enough for the tribe to try several-level building next.Then, the roof are drastically improve by the invention of tiles. But the most curious breakthrough is the tribe's new storage.A mortar heavy on snowrock builds a earthenware-like suspended building. Sturdy enough to use ledges from behind, claiming new space over the crack's void.>Breathless : GateThe Cerulean Tribe comes with a way to maintain contact among tribe : Gates.The ritual creates an unbelievably short path across the Warp. However, it requires two tribesmember to perform the ritual synchronously to open up the way. Good thing the tribe got access to a Telepathic Trance.Now...>How should the tribes evolve?
>>6001382Cups and bowls and pots! The tribe turns their attention to cooking once more, experimenting with simple slabs of earthenware over the fire sprinkled with mixes of meats and plants and even bits of rocks (salt!?). The more daring tribe members construct crude ovens, filling them with frostflower paste, plants and meats and shoving them into the coals of the fire. A few go even further, boiling water in pots and dumping ingredients in, just to see what happens.> Building on their fire mastery, earthenware, and knowledge of cooking from the red snow meeting, the GrassGreen tribe tries their hand at frying, baking and boiling just about anything they can get their claws on.
Since GrassGreen now has a psyker population, I will attempt to develop Astral Projection through the Warp. We will travel through dreams until we reach them, establishing a shortcut! This will help us share and develop ideas, it will also help me spy and track down the other Two Legs.IF I can't invent new technology, I'll steal it. Blueprints, design, materials, the whole lot, I'll stack enough bonuses I can't fail
>>6001448when I inevitably roll like a 30- on this attempt, I'll try something else, go back to my shepherd roots

It is required, has such a Shaman will be found and nominated has requested by the Tribe and the Matriarch
>>6001379i will write on the plates of Fatty shells using my claws. less easily manipulated than Ice slabs in a population filled with people that can manipulate Ice. as for meeting BurningGrass. The Meeting will be cautious offering some fried Fatty meat as a gesture off good will and inquire if they would like to trade. we can provide fast travel and facilitate meetings with the Jupiter tribe if they want to. if i can try to nail a trade deal i would like to offer supply lines to some spots in their territory and would take payment in a portion of the lightining rock they could harvest using my help.as for my own development. create vassal packs to help with power projection, reproductive numbers and use them to hunt for slaves further affield. these slaves might become a valuable commodity in the future.
>>6001382Experiment with building a freestanding village, secure the large moss patch to the east
>>6001379>Primary Cerulan Action: Make contact with the remnants of IceyOne, both to secure their music to compliment our art, and to prevent their stories and genetics from being lost. Cerulan has a strong desire to avoid losing to the endless roll of years. >Secondary Trade Action: Use Telepathic Trance to speak to the Matriarchs of the other tribes and offer Cerulan's services as a 'mental mail carrier'. We'll pass along your messages to each other, whatever they might be. We have a plan for how to ship goods as well. If it all works as envisioned, no longer will it take generations to trade goods between tribes, and all will know luxuries that they have never dreamed of, crafted by the other tribes.

>>6003112by the way, is that a +10 for strength and armour or do you just use those modifiers to reduce dc now?
>>6003112With Strength and Armor, that's an Unnatural Crit.Meaning, you'll get that Lightning Rock Land Conquest.I am still lacking your answer/Counterproposition to Badback's trade deal.
>>6003111Unless they are luxury foodstuffs i dont need food. Especially not against my offer of pretty much removing supply line issues wherever i extend my network.You will also need to learn writing. But about that we can talk later
>>6003215I guess I'll have to decline for now then because other than the lightning rock I don't really have anything to trade and I don't want to trade those right now.
>>6003378follow-up question : how do you feel about Badback's ability to just TP in your controled zones?Cultural shaping question, won't result in mechanical things immediately.
This era, the Badback tribe suffered two losses. First, they were unable to stabilize more power, despite the weapon advantage bringed by their bows. Second, the BurningGrass clan refused trading with them.A few Cerulean members setted East, after hearing from Wild Packs about another tribe of two-legs.They didn't progressed much. But thanks to their Telepathy, they'll keep advancing while still in contact with the rest of the Tribe.>Your scouts progressed one hex right. You can still act normally and will roll for travel + new development.GrassGreen : cooking>Success!Finally, some improvements in the GrassGreen tribe. Using earthenware to lay some meat slabs over the purple tubers, you created your first history-worthy dish, Cassolette. This please greatly the Grassgreen matriarch and her daughters.Whitemane : Astral Projection>Success!The Whitemane's tribe can now delve the Immaterium in their sleep. The Ethereal Form is fast, faster than even Badback's merchant running their Webway.However, they are frail. Not strong enough to carry anything back. Easy preys for the aberrations lurking on the other side of the veil.>You can now contact another tribe at the cost of a roll. The farthest they are, the harder it is.
BurningGrass : Secure the Frontier>Unnatural CritYour finest Lords are sent to stabilize the situation in your feodal realm's marches.After a fair amount of four-legs pacification and Hunterpower help to build more heavy doored tunnels, your fighters realized they reached farther than their original mission asked, granting you control over this whole bottleneck.Furthermore, a fair amount of pack have been pushed south, fighting the local wild packs on their way.An ambitious young vassal felt bold, and ordered to pursue. This was a tactically sound decision : your better armored, better supplied hunters swept through the exhausted migrants or locals, reaching the prized pile of Lightning Rocks.Of course, that much lands means a whole lot opportunities.>Conquest bonus! Free action to choose among- More Vassals. Strengthen your hold over the Lightning Rocks!- Research! What secret does the Lightning Rock hold? [Write-in research]- How to Tame Your Kraken : Fourbeak, almost hunted to exhaustion on your home tiles, are numerous in these parts. Perfect opportunity. Sadly, your rejection of Trade Deal means that if Badback and Jupiter wishes to lay their hands on more Lightning Rock, they will have to oppose you for it. Be it Raid, Conquest, Thievery or an other way, for the first time in history Bipedal Hunters have a motive to fight each other.>Ghostclaw : ShamanThe Ghostclaw tribe believes crystallize. The amount of tale about the nature's spirit, honouring the dead in purifying ice, and the dangers better untold lead to a need of a specialized function : the Shamans. Those Hunter are in charge of the Psyking and Spiritual wellbeing of your community.This opens up the way to greater changes in the Ghostclaw spirituality; changes previously thought impossible.Jupiter : Conquest>Two success!Meanwhile, the Jupiter tribe progressed. Securing and claiming the flatest part of the crack around the huge Light Moss Lake, your tribe have access to a huge amount of Crawlers. With overwhelming amounts of food and the trickle of new member over time thanks to the constant trading with BadBack's tribe, you even made another discovery.North of your position, the walls of The Crack are deeply creviced. The maze of dark tunnels, dimly lit by the occasional light moss patch, are quite scarce in life - a zone predominantly dominated by Meaty Fatties. The tunnels breach through the walls, giving you a potential to expand more north.This offers possibilities. But Don't forget my mandate lies south west with goods from the east. Not North.Now...>How should your tribe evolve?
>>6003463I offer thee Burning Grass the gift of writing. In return i would like your help in setting up a noble family and vassal packs. so far all our efforts never got it quite right.
>>6003460Her mother prepares the meal herself. The tribe gathers to see her off. A bold daughter of the tribe goes forth on her pilgrimage, following the call of her sixth sense into the vast eternal storm. She, like all matriarchs to be, is a Blank. No spirits or magic or ancestors can aid her, only her own wits and ferocity!> A pilgrim sets off into the storm, following her intuition that something of value to the tribe lay within.
>>6003463With our Vassals collecting Fire Ferns we now have something to entice the Holey-Moley. Just as we tamed the Dahu Decades ago, we shall attempt to pacify the Borrower. Have the Dahu gotten even bigger and stronger?Or Do i need to specify a new goal of the breeding program? The Stallions can't get bigger?
>>6003582If Astral Projection was easier I would also try to copy what the Ghost Claw learned of the Holey Moley, but they are far away and would take an active effort
>>6003470if this isnt possible i will instead start creating an archive with the knowledge of the Tribe. that will be under heavy guard.this would be mostly to try and store some sort of bonuses for the future when attempting something i tried before but didnt succeed.
>>6003386extremely concerned and threatened
>>6003704big sadge. so no trade in the future.....alright. i will just move on then i think.
>>6003470I'd be willing to teach you our ways in exchange for writing... on the condition you stop using slaves (aka causing brain damage to our four-legged cousins). you don't need to do that once you have a proper feudal structure and my people see it as a weakness. An inability to project your strength and make them submit in the way of the ancestors.
>>6003463>Cerulan tries to figure out how to use their telepathy to form mind links with flying creatures, such as the gliders. I'm planning on using them as scouts.
>>603853Their birdsongs are appreciated. Cerulan wants to understand them and bring them in, the same as with the legendary singers of the east.

>>6003719you are asking me to give up one of my developments. that has so far served me pretty well.that is not a fair trade sorry. either drop that part or i would have to ask for something more. probably the concept of tithes to make up for the hunterpower i will lose without slaves.though there probably wont be much in the way of agreement here.

>>6003484> A pilgrim sets off into the storm, following her intuition that something of value to the tribe lay within.Packing food, mustering all their courage, the young Matriarch steps in the plains. Trailing through the heavy snow, she soons reach the permanent cloud storm.Wind lashes at her, snow is up, down, left and right. Visibility is awful. Sounds are dimmed.Wait, what is that?
A swarm of meat-eating cloud-crawlers? The Grassgreen daughter lays low. And skittle deeper in the storm.Green motes are flying, undisturbed by wind. A few smaller, still triangular-prism shaped being seems to be grazing.The storm's warmth bite the Huntress. She's used to lower temperature, not much while being so close to positive temperature while wet.That's enough for her pilgrimage. Better be safe, and report the findings back at the tribe, which takes those news with greater interest.>You have a Free action. It must involve the storm one way or another.
damn
>>6004214You are asking for Nobel families and having vassals in exchange for writing and not having slaves (which serves the same purpose as vassals) far as I'm aware that's 2 for 2. I'd even be willing to spend an action helping you set them up.>>6003463>protective runes Seeing the existential threat that is the ability for others to just teleport into our lands uncontested the matriarch comes up with a simple idea.

>>6004328The daughter returns to her tribe full of tales and stories of strange creatures and the might of the storm! She speaks of wind so strong it jerks and pulls on the body, of bloody swarms and giants who ignore the storm. Lastly as the fire burns low she speaks of the green spirits who pass through the storm as though it were not there at all. Are they spirits of tribe folk past, still bearing their green, undisturbed by the whip and lash of the wind? The tribe speaks on the matter until all have drifted to sleep, save the psykers of the tribe. They quietly depart for a secluded hollow away from the warp damping aura of their brothers and sisters. There they dream, their spirits untethered from their bodies. They follow the crease in the warp their blank sister has left in her travels and they ride the great storm. The green spirits surround them and they fly together, commanding the wind and riding it, dancing with the spirits, learning the ways of the wind.> The psykers of the GrassGreen tribe are drawn to the green spirits of the storm in a dream, where they learn of the nature of wind, how to control it, ride it and resist it.
Invite the Badbacks to our mossy vale territory to discuss the future, say we will give extra cheese and wine just to come talk
>>6004595Nobility requires vassals.Meaning, you will have to get vassals first, then create nobility - meaning continuous cooperation for at least 2 turns.>>6004679That's as free as free action gets - you are neighbours, you can piggy-walk the webway until 2km to their home and say you make the walk.What do you want to ask them?Like you can propose a trade deal right now - you have the access to a more-than-ample amount of Luxury ressources.
>>6004450I've been holding that first image since thread 2
>>6004736alright. then i will just do my backup thing here >>6003587
>>6004736I propose we add to our treaty and strengthen it. I would agree to share the secret ways of walking the warp, and we would both take on custodianship of the warp paths we make, patrolling and updating everyone with any changes. I would also propose a military alliance to provide aid in full force if the Burning Grass tribe push into either of our territory. I suggest that we have a military exchange, so my kind can teach yours of vertical combat and yours can teach mine of bows. Finally, to provide ability to grow without being bottlenecked by the Burning Grass, I would propose that the BadBacks start expanding the warp paths east, and the Jupiters will expand to the west, and equal access will be provided to both the clans throughout the entire network.
>>6004835That does not sound bad. i feel my relationships with the burning grass tribe will soon break down.i can teach you how to use a bow and how to maintain it. however the process of creating them will stay in my tribe and will sell them to you at a very modest charge.as for the warp network. i was planning to create an enclave in the impassable mountains to create a secure powerposition that cant easily be attacked.
>>6004845I can promise you that I won't be the one to throw the first stone.
>>6004845So you agree to the rest?If we're happy to share our military tactics, maybe I could allow you to access my clay deposits in return for keeping us armed with bows?Also, I would suggest we build the fortress together, as I have many advanced construction techniques.

On an era of unmistakable progress ,one exception remains : The Holey Moley are too elusive for the Whitemane tribe.West of them, the Cerulean have two breakthrough.First is the Taming of Gliders. >69!Mainly kept as comfort pets, selected for their mating chirps, those critter are low maintenance and soon Nest are accomodating a Glider-porch.Second is their scouts, after struggling close to home, found the IceyOnes territory.>97!Knowing they could not make it back in their lifetime, they even built a village, including Mirrorhall gate, to keep the link alive between the village and the mother tribes. Their reports are, as follow !IceyOne are numerous - no more four legs in the vicinity.IceyOnes are savages. They live like the wildlings you saw previously, only making peaks and valleys resonate with their songs.IceyOnes are beautiful. Most of Cerulean wants to give their testicles to Icey matriarch, get testicles of Icey males. They refrained for now.Finally, your scouts report strange, unseen phenomenas : North from their position, large portion of the rocky crevace of the Crack can instantly get swallowed in ice, which slowly reced over time.>>6004319Ghostclaw painting - 40 The Ghostclaw clan developped their own painting style. Overly simplified, members drawn as traits similar to the stove grove lianas, lianaHunter drawing style is born.BurningGrass:>Protective runes : 95Using a sculpt similar to your prized jewel, merging Lightning Rock on stone totem Fourbeak tentacle-shaped over your land is an efficient countermeasure to the dreaded Badback's webway - your most astute psyker say so. Each Noble keeps build their own tentacle, and eventually they spread over your noble's vassals. This effectively cut out the link between Jupiter and Badback's tribe at the end of the current Era.Of course, you can lift that restriction - but letting them just walk on your Lightning Rock territory? The matriarch believes it's too much.>Tame your Kraken : 29It might be a lack of luck. It might be foolishness to tame an Apex. But facts are the only things you get by attempting this bold move is a few of your better Hunters short of ears, eyes and limbs. No death to report, and nothing good meals would prevent to regenerate.
>>6004632Grassgreen : 97!You send you Psyker, in the astral realm, to interract with the "green spirits". They fail.An expedition is thus mounted, to locate them physically, and use their Eerie Shape Ice power to grab the spheres. The trophies are dragged back to the tribe, encased in ice.Everything is awe and wonder. And then the ice melt.Strong wind surround the immobile spirits. Their warmth melt the ice, turn it into snow and hail instantly.The matriarch's daughter, first to interract with the spirits, leap forward and slay them one after the other.They are hollow inside with smaller spirits, taste a bit bitter, and chewy, but not bad. The experiment is carried again. A couple spirits are brought back. They have a strange influence on wind - influence your psyker learn to master.>97! New Psyker spell learnt : Shape WindA safe way to keep the spirit is out of your tribe reach as is. You'll need a convincing idea, and a good execution.>>6004835Jupiter : teach Vertical Combat against bowsTurns out those skills are extremely compatible. With the mutual cooperation of your peoples, both skills are trade to their fullest extent.In the case of bow, however, you don't get why the Badback tribe is so obsess with their shooting sticks, sleeping with them, always keeping them under hand, use them as everyday tool. Thus, you won't benefit from the +10 from bow-based development.>>6003587Badback : Archive of failed Insight>96!The archive proposition is a success. Knowledge is written down, and what have been tried and failed is thoroughly documented.>Effect : +4 to roll for each time you attempted and failed the development in the past.Now...>How should your tribe evolve?
>>6005871so they get to just nuke my road instead of just blocking the exits great....well only one thing about it. make a bypass through the impassable mountains where they can not spread.if i can expand my network further i will extend it south.

In truth many in the Tribe don't get it neither the Matriarch, how exactly they are supposed to make this through painting ? But the Shamans insist that the ancestors and the spirits tell them this might be something that can help them. They will be able to craft things, its important and they can't explain ....... because they don't full grasp the meaning. "Not yet" they say "Maybe after second lunch yes ?", other tribesmens say that this could help, but not in the spiritual way they say they can do something else, something for kill-hunt or craft-make. When the decision is made the first attempts of symbols are made, many wanting to make animals and plants, or the spirits and the ancestors ...... or a Ghost Claw symbol.[Ahem.

>>6006623He wants to create manga
>>6006622How to put it.Its not writing because its not what they are trying to do yet, they haven't had the "click" to get there. I want them to make symbols which i consider a refined step of the current paintings. Instead of a wriggly ill shaped holey moley primitive drawing, is a more stable one. They can better replicate that symbol and put it somewhere else for example : say i want idk amulets, or a tribe banner or runes. I want my Tribe to able to put these symbols there.But i can also use these symbols later on for develop writing. >>6006623Depends how much time there is before the rolling part. Short time : nothing.
I don't believe just making symbols would automatically mean i know writing. I think is a step in the process for get there, but it seems not enough for it. At least to me.In the past you specified we needed certain basic developments for get to other more advanced developments. For example when i did Stone Carving i lacked certain stuff first. I am trying to follow that.
>>6006651Yeah, but I'm also trying to give you as much money for your roll as I can in case of high rolls. That and game is picking a bit of speed with the last turns.
>>6006660okay then. So it will be writing, i would prefer to be symbols because i actually wanted to do the examples i mentioned. But i'll roll with it.

Most see a sea of snow, but a few lucky ones see, for the first time, a few animals never seen in a meat-splat-less shape before...Jupiter, you have enough stockpiled Crawler cheese and Berry wine stockpile once again to "motivate" Badback into a second action this turn.>Grassgreen : RopeMaxing - FailureThe Stove grove dry lianas are too frail for the purpose of roping.>Whitemane : Guard Dahu - FailureThe Dahus are way too nice to serve as guard whatsoever. The idea is laughed at by the council, attempted anyway just to be sure, and validated stupid at the third time Dahus tried to cuddle with Meaty Gliders, at a complex disregard for their safety. Domestication have completely tuned away their flight instinct, and have no fight in them.>BurningGrass : Stone Weapons - FailureIn theory, weapons could help your tribe's member fight better. In practice, it goes against their instinct.Thus, training involving said weapons quickly turns into one Hunter throwing the weapons and resorting to bite and claws.>GhostClaw : Symbol etchingsA few symbols are created. Soon, all your tribe member know to etch and recognize them.They have potential to grow in several ways...>Your draw-in provide +10 for next roll related to symbol.>Cerulean : IceyOnes Integration - 47Although most Cerulean and IceyOnes agree to move on as one, you have a great deal of resent in your population.A third to a bit less than half IceyOnes strongly believe they were better before the Purple Hunters invasion. They lived a simple life tuned with nature. Now, they have to work to build Nests, to dig Tunnels, to follow rites, build hidden gardens.Between one out of ten and one out of eight Cerulean believes integrated IceyOnes was a dire mistake.They spend days trying to do as few as possible, leeching on your hard-earned food (scarce so up north). Their dumb women entice gullible males with their songs - leading the less able Cerulean Huntress to fail reproducing, growing discontent.Those two minorities are manageable for now, but very little might turn the fragile domination of your tribe into riots.Wanted to draw this one for quite some time, but Jupiter's first attempt in the frozen plains was too disastrous
>>6009275explore the frozen tundra for creatures and plants that might be useful for the expansion/furthering of the tribe.

>>6009275I would go with “Plan Death” immediately, but I want some positive reinforcement first. So we are gonna conquer. >>6005925First move, we will use some of the Vassal females to increase our population. We have Fire Ferns and Dahu, we can sustain twice as many Two Legs as before. We will try to breed as many Whitemanes as possible

>>6009430Well I want to conquer, but this turn, I want to increase my population first. Unless I can do that *by conquering* in which case I’m going South-East
>>6009433I'm trying to accelerate the game to avoid boring out both you players and me, so yes, yes you can.
>>6009437I am not exactly bored. I just wish I had more bonuses to counter my bad rolls. The explanations for why I fail feel adequate though. My repeated setbacks are pushing me into more and more esoteric decisions for development. Everyone else is moving forward technologically and especially culturally. I have a plan, but I feel that in the end, a dual empire is my best bet to protect the Whitemane ethnicity in the long run
>>6009467Ooph, I feel you there. Zero reliability on being able to get something done is really crushing my ability to develop in any sort of coherent direction.

From now on we shall remember better thanks to our symbols we paint, and we shall able to describe more the tribe, world, spirits, death and life around us.>>6009437I am not bored either, if anything i think that i am always on my last legs.

Rolled 22 (1d100)>>6010709All the directions, we're just spreading out and lowering population density until population booms next generation. But if that's not feasible, I wrote down priorities with 1 being most important. Looking to secure that glowing food rich rainbow. This is a once in a generation expansion.
Double failure. Captcha is giving me a k, y, and s.
This era is marked by an increase of territory mastery for several tribes.Where Badback and Whitemane succeed acquiring new lands, Cerulean fails to do so.Jupiter finally reached the southwest mountains; finding a mountain land barren of life."Oh? You anticipated my next demands? Good; good. Paving the way before having the good proves you're my chosen one...Now remember : Get 5 earthenware full of Fire Pod seeds, 5 earthenware full of Fern Roots, 6 gliding wolves, 12 young Dahus and 24 Holey Moleys.The priority is first the Fire Pods, Fern Roots and Dahus. Second the Moleys. Third the wolves."Your god is quite pleased. From what you understand, its plan would allow to bring suitable life to this barren piece of land.On the least succesful side, BadBack was totally unable to notice further life in the snow plains. Jupiter, knowing well the terrain for its exploitation of rock-snow at the rim of the crack, have seldomely sawn life in the plains - indicating this ecosystem is incredibly sparse.Nothing much of note happened to Grassgreen, sampling every plant, animal and rock of the mountain in their quest for new savours.Meaty Glider meat? Rarely a danger, most likely an Occasional treat long used by the tribe - especially the Glider Crawlers living on the back of said predator. Glacier Drifter? Inedible blocks of ice. Their failure is not total however: they are certain there are no new "natural" undiscovered flavors in the ecosystem.Taming animals in the way of their Whitemane friends might be the way to go to refine their cooking.BurningGrass bold attempt to weaponize the throwing of disposable weapons hits resistance once again : most tribe's fighter deam it as a weak huntress tool and cowardice.The most interresting development, in term of civilization, happens east.The pictograms of the Ghostclaw tribe repend among the tribesmate, expand quickly in number, able to fully retranscript meaning.They soon are used by the tribe's shaman, which reverences over said rune are found to be perfect channel of Spiritual power>+3 to Psyker-based runes rollsOne more thing of note : it looks like conquering territories is the greatest way to bolster up a tribe's number.In particular, BurningGrass empire with numerous vassals, Jupiter with ample territory and demographic boost from Badback's slave and Cerulean with their new integration of IceyOnes are largely ahead in terms of numbers.Whitemane will require time to stabilize their number before splitting again and conquering more lands. Ghostclaw remains demographically-challenged.Now...>How should your tribe evolve?

But she wants more, she wants to take new land and need the tools for it. The warrior-hunters need to be prepared for such an endeavor and what they are currently, is not enough. The first step is a new stone weapon. Modified initially from a stone bleeder tool, it will be a weapon for true fight-hunt. Such a weapon will be crafted from carved stone and the symbols of the tribe shall be placed on it by the Shamans, meanwhile the Holey Moley Metal Claws will be stuck inside a circular piece of stone and act has spikes.

>>6012004Have you done pottery yet? Gotta put that milk in something after all. Granted basic earthenware is porous, it's no good for long term storage. I'm also thinking of doing vinegar and pickles, but I feel like an improvement to pottery is called for there. Some nice earthenware bricks might help for road making too.>>6011855> Refine earthenware practices with kilns and ash glazes. Make use of the Shape Wind spell to intensify kiln flames in place of bellows, and try out various mixtures of materials as glazes.There is a simple problem with earthenware. It leaks! Slowly bits of any liquid stored within seep out. This makes soups and stews and other foods a mess if stored for long, and storing water difficult to. But a few pots (those who by luck naturally glaze in the ash of the fire) do better than others, and take on a glassy sheen. The tribe investigates, trying their hand at building bigger kilns, using Shape Wind to feed the fires and made them more intense. More importantly they pass the pots through the fire a second time, trying to melt different outer layers of materials onto the pot to seal it. Mixtures of ash, dirt and even black and fat are tried, in hopes something will yield better results.

>>6012255You are all about the chaos of Dice. You roll dice for everything, all the time, and they tend to be wildly skewed to the top and bottom of the curve. Drives me crazy to be honest, because your world building is really fascinating, but I feel like your quests are an endless minefield of dice waiting to fuck the players over. You've made some very fun stories with it though.I dub thee Bipolar Dice God.
>>6012255Your quests seem like a trap. You come up with interesting, rarely explored concepts, you listen to the public, you know what the Invisible Hand of the Market wants. You set your trap, we congregate and then you force us to roll dice, knowing full well, that because of how many of us there are, the chances of rolling high and low multiple times in a row are very common. It’s all a front, a facade, so you can post that one meme of your character rolling crit successes followed by crit fails. You are feeding off our misfortune and luckEntertainment Vampire Quest Master
>>6012247Horses were central to everything, but the mongols still used whatever wild plants they could find, onions and garlic among them, plus rice and spices when they expanded toward china. And they herded several different kinds of animals as well.
>>6011855>Secure the motherland.seeing the pride of her warriors the matriarch comes up with a simple solution. She would send her warriors to conquer the land around the motherland. if they succeeded the tribe would have more land and if they didn't she would be able to push for her reforms.in the map the hex with the green X is most desirable, orange the second most desirable and white the least.

>>6013068Also, QM, tactics involving Dahu aren’t really that effective because Under-Hunters can teleport and the Warp is not yet fucked enough for this to be risky. So, if I want a bigger bonus from Dahu mounts and war tactics, I need to improve Hunter teleportation to work with the Mount. An idea would be feeding the rider’s Mount blood and meat mixed in with their feed, taken from their Rider. If a piece of the Rider exists inside the Mount, maybe the Psyker’s Heart will work for both

As a consequence, Hunters of Icey descent blame the purple ones for oppression and limiting path onward, while Cerulean-descent Hunter blames the Icey ones as leeches not trying hard enough. Of course, both of those bad faith accusation comes from vocal minorities.>Jupiter : Failed by 75Your effort are fruitless.

And you disregard, while I told you explicitely it was the plan? Think, Hunter, Think!
BadBack : conquest>115The battle for Flatlands will remain in the tribe's memory and shared history.Flatland is of course an exageration : a ball couldn't roll more than ten meters before getting stuck in any directions at best.However, with an Hunter's pounce, the jagged terrain is the closest to a plain in the crack. The legends say that 20 Huntress conquered around 1000 km of terrain.Of course this is exagerated : granted, there were less than 30 warriors. Logistics chains, tending wounds and feeding the warriors were not counted.Neither where the slaves sent to death as scouts. But it is true that ample terrain was taken, and paved by the WarpWay. Due to how fast the conquest was, the Warpway reach east, over the frozen plains. Badback knows other tribes delve further, as told in the legendary tribes meeting amidst Red Mist.Such a tribe is Whitemane's, which send a caravan of Dahus directly to meet Grassgreen. The travel was long, despite access to mounts.>Free action : trading with Grassgreen!>Second action : travel back! Good enough roll will improve the Dahu's bonus upon untrailed travel Said GrassGreen tested extensively the raw material and way to turn them into earthenware.Although lacking the aesthetic refinement of the centuries-long tradition of Jupiter, multitude ways to build ceramics with various recipes are discovered : Earthenware is more easily mass-produced; Stoneware is more difficult but water-tight (What Jupiter achieved by layering Ice in their pots), porcelain is made using bone-ash and the most expensive to date, and a couple Hunter have witnessed the Vitrification process, which is not yet mastered.Some Hunter theorized building using square earthenware rocks and roof using earthenware plate molded on backs.But most are delighted by the possibilities offered to improve food storage and cooking.BurningGrass expanded North. This new territory, twice closer to the Ever Ice Keep than the tribe holding the Lightning Rock territory, is conquered. Tunnels are built; heavy door are mounted, and tentacles-like sculpture prevents warpway to cross in your territory.However, your hold of the new region proves challenging : you lack Vassals to rule efficiently. Thus, the rest of the Era is spent consolidating your power and your hold.>Vassal Creation Minigame! Your Vassal evolved with the sheer amount of conquest and the length of your feodalism.Feel free to describe the different feodated families (at least 3, the more you do the more you'll have) and their particularities.

The gifts of our home are yours to choose from.>>6014445After farewells with our sisters to the north the tribe calls its vassals together. The time has come for the tribe to establish control over a wider region, bringing in more testicals, more food, and more. Each vassal is promised it's own vassals in turn correcting if they can show sufficient valor in the efforts to control the region.> Rally the vassals and move forth to subjugate more tribes, establishing a caste system of rulers, specialists, and serfs.
>>6014441>>6014498We bring Dahu Calf-Feed-Juice. Vital to the special flank and hind-leg bones of Dahu, if they do not drink enough when young, they end up weak and brittle. This Bone-Juice is good for Hunters too, we’ve had it for a long long time, since we only recently had access to Fire Ferns and Dahu Meat gets boring after a while. Be careful, some of our Vassals dont feel all that well when they try it. But we got Frozen Bone-Juice and Fresh Bone-Juice and Ichor-like Bone-Juice (which happens if you let it in your Pouch too long near a Stove Grove. Your pots would let us store them for longer.

>>6014441>Choir of PowerThe scavenger spirit notices the disunity among the new tribe and their lack of vision. To bring all together, the matriarchs are sent dreams of singing together in harmony.

>>6014441>Empireseeing that she has stretched her hold too far to effectively hold her land, she comes up with a simple plan. she will institute a framework where a vassal will control the land for her. effectively each would be a queendom that answers to their empress Burning Grass. [a.k.a I create a new vassal to control a hex every time I conquer a new hex they will as usual have their own vassals]Vassals: note the name is of both the leader of the tribe and the name of the tribe itself. the new Lady matriarch takes the name of the old one upon becoming a matriarch:Many Pelts: being one of the first vassals rewarded for their service of providing the largest tribute to their overlord. the tribe eventually outcompeted the other two vassals and was granted ladyship over them. This tribe is filled with the greatest hunters within the queendom. members of the tribe are often noted to be free-spirited and competitive than most underhunters of the queendom. Always seeking that next bit of glory, the next thrill, the next great hunt. This tribe can often be told apart from other tribes by their tendency to wear trophies and pelts not for warmth but to display their hunting prowess to each other. Instead of the usual ritual fights for dominance that Underhunters undergo to determine the new Lady matriarch the many pelts tribe instead hold a great hunt where the competing matriarchs hunt and the one to bring back the most food wins and is crowned the new Lady Many Pelts. This hunt must be either done solo or with a group of matriarchs supporting their preferred candidate. The current Lady Many Pelts has become enamoured with the four beaks and wishes to not only hunt one like her ancestors but to tame them and ride it like the tribe to the south. She has not had much to show for her efforts so far except some regrown limbs but she hasn't let that detter her. Under Snow: This tribe is full of the visionaries, artists, and architects of the queendom. The tribe's claim to fame is that the first Lady Under Snow was the mind behind Ever Ice Keep. The under snow tribe builds and maintains the tunnels, equipment, and keeps across the queendom. The members of this tribe are often considered the most intelligent, creative, and prideful underhunters of the queendom. They are also considered by those outside the tribe as arrogant and snobbish as they look down on their lesser-minded sistren. The tribe is often frustrated by others refusing to innovate or use new tools. you can tell members of this tribe apart by the tools they always carry around and that their fur is white, green, and ice blue. the dominance ritual of this tribe has evolved from tradition. The matriarchs of this tribe create temporary fortifications that they must hold against aggressors with the last one standing becoming the new Lady Under Snow.
>>6015764Egg Carer: The egg carers are a tribe of gentle giants. they are seen as patient, honourable, loyal, stubborn, and traditional. the members of this tribe are slow to anger but when they get angry their rage is apocalyptic and nothing gets their blood boiling faster than a threat to the eggs and young they care for. the tribe not only cares for the young but also teaches them the ways of the underhunters until they are old enough to become a full member of their birth tribe. For this duty, they are seen fondly by all underhunters of the queendom. Egg carers are never seen outside of the nursery keeps, their barracks, or guarding the doors of the under tunnels. you can tell members of this tribe apart from other hunters by a couple of features. Their fur replaces the white of the Burning Grass tribe with a stone grey colour. they are never without their armour. they are the largest and strongest underhunters within the queendom (which is saying something). many underhunters believe that if they weren't so devoted to their duty or so loyal to their oaths they would be the ruling tribe of the queendom. The current Egg Carer is a genetic freak. They are the most unique and controversial the tribe has ever had. For the first time in underhunter history a male rules a tribe. The current Egg Carer is the half-brother of Burning Grass and the largest underhunter in the queendom if not the world. Egg carer was formerly known as Fights Well (or Crasley as “that stud” among the matriarchs) was content in his duty, teaching the younglings and reproducing until his mother went too far in training the younglings. Egg Carer had killed several of the tribes' young by pushing them too hard. In the aftermath, every matriarch had challenged Egg Carer to a duel for leadership and all had failed. At the urging of his favoured reproductive partner and his unwillingness to let this abide Fights Well challenged his mother to a duel and won, taking the name Egg Carer in the process. Recently two large factions have formed within the tribe those who believe as the strongest of the tribe he deserves to lead and those who believe as a male that he should step down. Those against the Patriarch not only believe having a male lead breaks tradition but are also concerned that his genetic material has yet to produce a single female. Considering his offspring are the largest they are worried that the tribe may never have another Lady Egg Carer. Not a day goes by when the Patriarch isn’t challenged to a duel for his leadership. He considers himself lucky that more often than not those he beats become his supporters.
>>6015766Far Travelers: This tribe is even more reclusive than the egg carers hiding in their spire keeps. The tribe values the power of the soul and the realm of dreams over the physical. these dour, stoic, paranoid people practice night and day to push their psychic abilities to the max. masters of discipline they will often forgo sleep and food to distance the mind and soul from the body. while not exactly the most personable they often provide valued advice to the various matriarchs of the tribe. Some more superstitious underhunters even claim that the far walkers have the ability to see far into the future, talk to each other over vast distances, read minds, or curse those that displease them with bad luck. how much of those claims are true or deliberate misdirection only those within the tribe know and they aren’t eager to share their secrets with outsiders. you can tell them, members of the tribe, from other underhunters from their white, green, and purple fur and their tall and skinny bodies. the dominance rituals of the underhunters are heavily modified for this tribe. instead of a physical duel, both contestants will not move from their spot and will try and encase their opponent in ice with their powers. The first one who becomes frozen loses.Lightning Fur: The newest of the major vassals the lightning Furs were given control and the responsibility of being the wardens of the lightning rocks. A task they have taken to with gusto. Being on the border of two major tribes has heavily affected the culture of the tribe resulting in them being much more mercantile than their northern kin. The members of this tribe use small tokens made of rocks inscribed with runes as a primitive form of currency among one another. The most valuable of the tokens are those made of lightning rock. some other focuses of the tribe are the jewellery they make (both lightning rock and not) and the current focus of Lady Lightning Fur is the runes. She seeks to expand her tribe's knowledge of the runes. the hows, whys, and in her opinion the most important question, what new ones can she make? to this end, she has been working heavily with the Far Travelers to uncover their secrets. there are a couple of ways to tell a lightning fur from a member of the other tribes. Their fur is white, gold, and red it also tends to stick out in spikes with little sparks of electricity travelling between tips. most underhunters will often experience a tingley sensation from hanging around a lightning fur long enough. Lighting furs love to cover themselves in jewellery. another way to tell is from their hyperactive and greedy personalities. they hate idle hands so you will always find them doing something to occupy themselves.sorry for the long post. I kinda got lost int he fun of vassal creation.

The Badback tribe acquired its own form of Vassals. However, they take an unseen spin : the theoretical vassal framework, learned long ago, simpley doesn't work for your tribe. However, by synergizing with the mercantile tradition as well as the Barter System, this results in something as new as unique : a moral structure created around a goal for the greater good of Badback's society as a whole.Companies are society in society. Of course, they have the best hunters of their specialties. They also employ a wide range of hunters : cooks, childrearers, warriors. The global ladder of the society shifts. The original Badback Matriarch is of course at the top - they are said to be "Holding" the other companies, as their directors have to report and propagate profits. Then, comes the 3 newly founded companies.>WarpWayers, Paving the Immaterium, knowing the way as no other hunter. They dream of envorcing, one day or another, the old tale of "tollgates".>Fatamers, Specialized in the care of the fat and tender Domesticated Fatties, taken to graze from glasshouse to glasshouse and slayed.And, of course... >SlaversBy far, the most succesful company of the BadBack's Tribe. Supplying cheap labors to all the Under Hunter of the tribe - even the lower-statured "Unemployed" (or "selfemployed") hunters.Another tribe progress in their Vassalization effort : the Grassgreen, helped by the Warrior of the Whitemane tribe, enforced different, stricter rules.>Synergy with "Specialized vassals" and "Pilgrimmage"Instead of separating by blood or by common goal, Grassgreen tribesmate are separated by Skills.Their communities have, evidently, a Ruler. Most hunters remains serfs. But some of the tribe's secrets are taught amongst GuildsA group of Hunters, with shared practices and secret, dispatched among the Grassgreen territory.Among the childs of the Hunters, the gifted daughters are sometime taken under a Guildmember's wing. Sent away from their family and hamlets, they have to learn the ancestral ways.The warriors are sent back to Whitemane's territory. On their way, they meet up the GrassGreen psykers, also going home.Said home have a surprise : Some dragged down and bounded Glacier Drifters. Six of them, tied in Stove Grove dead lianas, with twelve GrassGreen Blanks sitting on them - the most efficient containment to their power. The crack's western ridges are slowly taken and conquered by the Jupiter's tribesmember.More and more nightmares plague the Matriarchs (dying strangely early in their sleep), urging them to go to the Far East to answer the Mandate.Nothing of note happens in the far North of Cerulean. The unsuccesful culturally-diverse choirs soonly falls into oblivion.In said east, Ghostclaw's attempt of Runic armor fails, echoing with BurningGrass' shields.
Several historian comes to a realization : nowadays Huntress are way longer lived than their ancestress.A few minor genetic evolutions over the tribe age are decreasing drastically senescence, letting the "modern" Under Hunter to live around 15 local years. Now, >How should your tribe evolve?Whitemane, if your Plan : Death can be enacted this turn, write it as well as you can by linking with previous turns action for a nice bonus.
>>6017561>>6017558Expand the Webway network into reaches as yet not settled by our tribe. soon we can build an outpost out there for trade with other Underhunters.
>>6017561Assist with >>6017570
>>6017561There are several questions that must be asked first, before I commit to Project Death.1: Mr QM, through Astral Projection, do the Whitemane, at least to an extent understand Souls and can they perceive Souls in Astral Form? 2: What happens if the Body is killed while in Astral Form? Does the soul fizzle out immediately or the cord that links them rapidly decays and they die once it vanishes?3: what happens if 2 Astral Selves interact or attempt to walk into one another? 4: does Ego death via brain damage result in Soul death or change?Because Project Death is this: An Under Hunter in Astral Form is standing over the Soul/Core of a Glacial Drifter a primary psychic being. The Hunter is killed or has their brain damaged and as they fade, they enter the Glacial Drifter Core and over power it. Merging the two. The Hunter dies, the Drifter dies and an Archon is born.If, when a Hunter dies, their Astral Form becomes so weak that another Hunter can walk inside it and consume it, can they THEN walk inside a Glacial Drifter Core and posses it?If the simplest answer to all these questions is “Your Astral Form is too weak to do anything but walk and observe” then Project Death is not ready and we must first spend this turn to invent the Astral Pathfinder: Hunters of exceptional soul potency that spend most of their time in the Astral Realm( basically they “Sleep” when everyone else is awake and they walk the physical world when everyone else is actually asleep) hopefully strengthening their Astral Form
>>6017558>empireseeking a way to solidify the tribe's gains and provide an efficient way forward Burning Grass will set up a framework for future vassals and territorial conquest.
>>6017628There is another way of improving the Astral Form, by using GrassGreen blanks to further weaken the Meditating Hunter. This will push them into trying to keep control over their soul and prevent their Shape from being snuffed out, strengthening it in the process

>>6017561Now begins the age of GUILDS! Or hilariously failing at making them! Guild Hotpot: Masters of the highest arts of pottery and cookery! Known for their earthenware bracelets they tie to their arms with strands of Rock Ivy, their exacting knowledge of prey anatomy, and their delicious bakes!Guild Ivaas: Descendants of the IvyVassals, guild Ivaas tends the Rock Ivy and Ivy Fatties, raising the plump bundles of meat and salad dressing that Guild Hotpot relies on.Guild Firewatch: Masters of the Flame! This guild manages stove groves and creates the signature fire traps of the GrassGreen tribe. Respected and feared by all for their command of flame! And with a little dice luck maybe we can add...> Guild StoneStack: An outgrowth of guild Hotpot, this guild focuses on using earth and stoneware to build homes and fortify cave dwellings across GrassGreen territory. Their clever knowledge of building creates the finest (and only) freestanding dwellings in the territory.
Also i got a feeling i am gonna create a fucking megacorp in the future.
>>6017658Oh, I should maybe post what I've done for your character sheet before you voteSpecialized vassals : Evolution into Guild IvyGuild - deal with Rock Ivy and Ivy Fatty.

Change of plans, we got increased lifespans>>6017658 so Project Death has new testing phase. Your Blanks and Aeromancers are gonna stay here, we are gonna need them for torturing and experimenting on one of the 6 Glacial Drifers. We are gonna study their soul and “psyker tensile strength”. I know it sounds costly, but once we understand the Drifter better, we can use the Astral Pathfinders we develop thanks to the stress your Blanks invoke on THEIR souls! Believe me, GG, just a little more time. And I’ll teach some of your lads how to Astral Project as well and make em into an Archon. How does that sound? One or two years in the dark, but you get yourself a new method of information gathering, an immortal frost avatar and your ally gets 4 immortal frost avatars, BUT we help you make more
>>6017661Ah those seperations probably make more sense.If we can do Stonesack (lol) as a freebie then I'd probably do> Guild Corcraft: An offshoot of the hunter guild that grew more focused on butchery than the hunt. Collectors of bone, hide and sinew, this guild works to fashion, tools, weapons, and armor from the inedible remains of hunting kills. Their first (attempted) accomplishment is simple tools of bone and sinew used to aid in scraping every last bit of meat from a corpse, though they dream of being clad head to toe in bone and hide.Completely random aside, could I humbly ask to inherit the fur pattern of Whitemane in dark green and lightgreen as a sign of our intermingling?
>>6017704I don't mind helping, but I'm actually more interested in you setting up a Dahu Tending Guild for me than having possessed Glacial Drifters.
>>6017707The intermingled dark.lightgreen is a mark of your psyker, sorry :)
>>6017714Cultural Conversion and absorption already? I’m not sure. I will probably end up as your Nr2 since even with Project Death, you also know how it works and while you don’t have War Dahu you have more Vassals and Aeromancers. I am not sure I can conquer you and especially I can’t really siege you, since you actually know how to make pots for food preservation. Be patient, Whitemane will become a measly faction of the Flavor Empire soon enough

No longer they will just submit, they will be made in to Ghost Claw and assimilated in to the tribe. Their identities if they had any, will be no more and they will praise the spirits, listen to our shamans, kneel to our matriarch and honor the ancestors. Any that might be a problem will be killed, their leaders replaced with tribesmens of Ghost Claw. Once this is done, this packs shall return to their grounds, but from on now on they shall be Ghost Claw and not wild packs.
>>6017730Lol, I've no desire to absorb you, though perhaps in the next stage of the game I could see our tribes coming together as one of the possible player empires. You can hold onto the pskyers and some blanks, and later on I've got a hunt of my own I'd like to pursue. My focus is going to be tech for a few turns anyway.
>>6017743there is gonna be a trade Outpost. i dont plan to permanently settle over there. though if you were to agree i could help you set up paths to other tribes to facilitate your own tradedeals.
>>6017747ah okay!i will need to think about it ......... i will probably agree on it sounds useful
>>6017561>Cult of the Raven God - Develop religionAlthough they couldn't come together in harmony, the songs of the Matriarchs have reached out to a new voice. A strange, ephemeral voice who speaks clearly to the Matriarchs in their dreams. It tells them to take any opportunity which presents its self. To fly far and keep an open eye and open nose for these opportunities. To speak with others and stay curious. To scavenge that which other leave behind. To survive in the brutal north. This new cult erects small shrines to the raven and places small offerings of meat and seeds in a sheltered spot in the alter. Raven hopes that these small seeds may one day sprout and bring life from death to the shrines, but for now all that can be done is to extract worship from the people and teach them to follow the scavenger birds to find meals. Ravensong Long ago the first hunters crawled from darkness onto ice,Then came the First Gods, to lift us off our paws.One sang the icey hymns, with dreams of paradice.One made the hidden ways, and rememberers of laws.Silent now the singing voice, few words upon the winds.Silent now the hidden artist, who burned away our sins.Now comes the Raven God, who feeds upon the dead.Now comes the Raven God, who we follow instead. Follow now the Raven God, and you might yet be fed.

>>6018304Whats my spin on vassals and power,I am not sure you can consider them vassals. I'll give it a try.A vassal of Ghost Claw, is part of Ghost Claw. They lead now that pack for the tribe, and for the matriarch, because that pack is just another part of Ghost Claw. This packs now respect the ancestors, praise the spirits and their totem, listen to the shamans and kneel to the Matriarch.The leaders of this packs and the land under them, they rule it in the matriarch name. But its not truly theirs, its of the Tribe and the Matriarch leads the Tribe. She orders, they obey. If she calls for war-hunt they will be there, if they are to come for aid-work they will be there. For this services, alongside skill and loyalty demonstrated the Matriarch allows them to lead their packs and have the honor to be her vassals. These leaders shall be called, Land Wardens.Power comes from many things. Mastery of ambush, psykerism and combat can certainly aid a ruler, but even more important is the approval of the spirits and the ancestors, to follow their path and honor it. To listen and learn to the knowledge and experience of the shamans, and to read what they have written can enhance further Power, like when a stone from rough becomes well carved, and thus more dangerous. Last but not least, is the approval of the Tribe it self, which would come naturally and grow from how a Matriarch or a Land Warden acts and lead their life and the ones of others.The Ghost Claw Matriarch line has demonstrated many times their power, they are fit for rule and lead Ghost Claw in the shadows of the night or the rays of the day.

Rolled 27 (1d100)>>6018274
>>6018837I'm chosing to interpret that creatively as "politics scheming theocracy by ancestor-spirit right", ok for you? This implies your vassal leader's are the Shamans.

>>6019557I'm not wanting to impose anything. Thus I'll take the write-in.
>>6019565I am okay with it and becoming a theocracy, but it seems two different things for me and i don't see how my write-in fits with it. How are you supposed to use it when i say stuff like "listen to the shamans", when its a politics scheming state ?
>>6019584Maybe I haven't slept enough. But factoring>this packs now respect the ancestors, praise the spirits and their totem, listen to the shamans and kneel to the Matriarch.>Matriarch order, they obey.>leaders are called Land Wardens>Power comes from many things [...] more important is the approval of the spirits and the ancestors, to follow their path and honor it. >Shaman enhance power>approval of the community>Ghost claw Matriarch line remainsSo that's how I selectively understood it as divine-right lineage theocracy. I'll agree it's more nobles and shamans instead of prince-bishops as I wrote in
>>6019687Perhaps i misjudged all of this, i didnt want to sound offensive and you are still the Qm. I just felt like what I did was not of much use to the theocracy idea, and should just be throw.Sound good.
>>6019694>I didnt want to sound offensive and you are still the QmWell in that exact game player agency matters more than other quest as you've all got your sandbox alien critter to shape in your society.I was not offended in any way and your agency matters more to me than my potential offending (and my skin is quite thick), but I'm also trying to milk the most uniqueness in each tribe for a future plan greater than Plan : Death in my head since thread 1 of the Redux
With the passing era, more changes impact the CrackFirst, the conjoined effort of BadBack and Jupiter finally overcome a dreaded stretch of Snow Plains with hard-to-trail immaterium, creating a fast road toward Eastern Mountains. However, this part of the path is the most dangerous, by far, for a Hunter to walk.Despite this obstacle, this is a good news for the Jupiter's tribe member. Nightmares recede.My daughters are finally stepping on the right way. Now, the exact scheme to enact the plan is better left to you.BurningGrass power is stabilized and coalesced into a real Empire.The society's framework fuels and support further and future conquests based on previous history.>Effect : One new Major Vassal per conquered tile in the future.However, the logistics of such a big stretch of lands are getting out of claw. Handling goods and communication is increasingly and increasingly harder, lacking long-distance reliable transportation of both goods and information.This isn't an immediate problem; more an issue to keep in mind.>GrassGreen : Guild CorcraftNot only Guild Corcraft appears and propagate in the timespan, they create a handful of new staple of your culture in the form of tools made from the bones, horns and rear plates of Dahu : scrapers, punch, needles, comb. Some Corcraft member already wants to spend more time working with those new toys than their newly-found-tradition of butchering.>Whitemane : "Investigate" Glacier DrifterOf the 6 captured Glacier Drifter, 3 meet their demise over the next era.The first one outright died because of a Blank Overexposure. The village haven't immediately realized.A second, then a third one died of Hunger. Various things have been brought to the mighty once-apex, but ice, rock, meat, vegetables... None seemed desirable.One of your Youngling made a breakthrough in the comprehension of the eldritch species : what feed them is immaterial. Upon killing a being, the Drifter feast on its soul. This result on Glacier Drifter being quite low-maintenance as most of the Dahu meat can be salvaged, turning them into executioneers.The most able psykers soon theorize that the Glacier Drifter is mostly an immaterium dweller with a shell letting it act in the material world to bring them sustenance.This have direct implication for Project : Death. The Under Hunter sacrificed needs to be wary as he'll battle a predator on its main field.Thus, the best course of action will be to starve the Drifter before attempting to overtake it.>Those insights grants you a -5 DC to project Death, turning your chances of success to 55As an immensely corruptible QM, a draw-in of what the resulting Archon will look like will further decrease the DCTime have passed. Now, all of the tribesmate have been birthed in a village with captured Glacier Drifter. Nobody knows how long-lived they are.>3 captured Glacier Drifter remains For now
>GhostClaw : AssimilationThe nearby vassals are incorporated after just the right amount of violence. This was inevitable after brutalizing the neighbours for most of the known history. Strategical mating while squatting at the tribe from the matriarch and the shaman, raising the Land-Wardens as well as the Shaman, and change tribe. Now, all the assimilated tribe share the fur coat of the Ghostclaw tribe, knows their way with moleys and working rock, and most importantly honoring the dead.But what matters deeply is the fear of the Great Night Mother, as is due.>Breathless : develop ReligionThe sight of a new critter, glider with dark skin instead of white, feasting on the deceased instead of the roots, inspire both the white icey ones and the purple CeruleanAndLiliac, seeing them as a kind of envoy.>Free action : what your religion is about?And now...How should your tribe evolve?
>>6019747Explore eastern mountains
>>6019747 What is your religion about? It is centered around the Raven god. The small scavenger. Raven is curious, communicative, cautious, and innovative. Raven is their totem spirit, and like Paul learned from little muad'dib, so too do the followers of Raven learn from the scavengers that they have partially domesticated. The primary tenets are: 1. Survive. When all dies around you, feed off death and survive.2. Patient Action. Some things take a long time to come to pass. The roads between stars and the path from now to Ragnarok are long. But one must continue traveling the path, or one will never reach the end.3. Exploration & Experimentation. Don't be afraid to go new places and try new things. Everyone who came back from the journey survived. 4. Isolated Community. The Others follow Other ways. The Flock can watch them, learn from them, but if they can not understand Raven's most basic riddles, they can not understand the deeper mysteries and would only cause calamity with them. The Flock flies together in the realm of false impossible realities. Others walk in this world of ice and blood. 5. Solvable Paradox. Raven is a trickster god, but not the only one. Raven speaks in Riddle and Paradox, but all the riddles can be solved, all the apparent impossibilities are illusion. But there are other gods who peddle false riddles with no answers. If when Raven speaks with both heads the two heads can not agree with each other, there is the great bald Vulture. The one that flies alone and argues with its self. It is Raven's enemy for they play the same role in existence, and thus conflict in inevitable. >Agricultural TemplesThe servants of the Raven God establish temples in locations shown to them in dreams. At these simple temples, the cult place sacrificial offerings including meat, vegetables, and uneaten seeds in a pile. The priests warm the piles enough to allow decomposition, and then the decomposition heat maintains the process. The heat and nutrients allow the seeds to grow and bloom. This miracle of life from death is one of Raven's mystic paradoxes. Song without breathSight without eyesCraft without handsDreams without sleepParadox is Raven's way

Grassgreen : Freestanding houses>108!The Grassgreen tribe created earthenware-made free-standing houses. They are free-standing, and communal :A Grassgreen village lives in the same building, enclosed with walls. The building is constructed by Stonestack around the Earthenware Kiln, sharing the heat with the building.Stonestack even created a wondrous new earthenware : icestone, a clear, see-through sand-made earthenware. The fluid and viscous material seems shapable in many ways - but for now, only used for see-through windows embedded in the walls. In this era, Badback and Jupiter are exploring the newlands of the East. Both split, and get familiar with the local flaura and fauna.The damningly scorching hot lianas eludes both of you, shielding the strange purple leaves, as well as the elusive Lunar Dahus. >Badback : Holey Moleys getsThe Badback tribesmember mounted a cunning ploy involving a natural cave and the fleeing reflex of Holey Moleys.A consequent amount are caught, ready to be eaten, or brought back in the crack, capitalizing on the theoretical knowledge about their taming.Seeing how well they would acclimate to the pens and glasshouse, with a different diet and harder rock is a question left open...>Free action - 1d100 roll for Holey Moley's acclimatation in The Crack!Meanwhile, Jupiter pulled of a unique feat in those mountains.Gliding wolves don't fly as well with arrow-holes ripped in their skin wings. They are taken back to your village.Of course, they will struggle a bit in the Crack, without the ascending thermals nor the ivy-gripping claws of their smaller vegetarian cousins.Still, your god is pleased by your partial acquisition of the grocery list.>Free action - 1d100 roll for Glider Wolf acclimatation in The Crack!>Acquired Gliding WolvesDraw-in : double-successA second win for your clan is finding a perishing Stove Grove. The dreaded lianas are no longer blasting their damnable heat, with the Fire Fern sparkled in blue flowers amidst their purple leaves.Earthenwares are filled with the tubular roots. It is remarked by your clan that the Fire Ferns does not grow in the cold ground, but needs the heat of the damned Stove Grove to sprout.The Fern tubular roots are perishable - you might lose them unless you are able to plant Stove Grove or create a specialized farming technique.
>Cerulean : Agricultural TemplesThe Black-glider cult repands, expands. Waste is set on rebuke piles near the altars.A few Hunters, (both Cerulean and Icey) takes the (allegoritical for now) mantle of priesthood.>Write-in : flavor your clergy!However, something is amidst. Choirs of singers gather around the altars. Those singers takes at heart the teaching.But your cleargy feel something is off among their understanding of the teaching.Death itself seems good for those people, not a return to life. They seem attracted in a queer way by the stench of rot. You...>Decide to include them in your clergy - a perfect example of Icey descent and Cerulean furcolor-blind society members mingling! I'll personnally advise against picking that one.>Just leave them be on society's fringe - they're not bad per se but you don't want to encourage queerness, right?>This reek of wrongdoing. You'll have to (violently) purge them for Hunterkind's sake.Whitemane : Astral PathfinderThis training method seems to have little-to-no effect on your hunter's potential.Maybe it was just bad luck. But two generation have taken those trials without discernable changes.You still have 3 Glacier Drifter. But the Matriarch is concerned : how long could this mighty being live before old age takes them away? It's been around 4 Matriarch they've been captured now...The Ghostclaw tribe cultures refine with the creation of Scribes : some Hunters now spend their life learning to write the sigils of the tribe.Although a good amount of Hunters can read the writing, ample amount of time is saved by entrusting writing the oval stones to a few selected and trained individuals.Especially because mistakes are a complete lost of the time spent to carve the previous text of the slab...The BurningGrass economic system improved, with the fist recorded use of Currency for trading goods.Token are made of carved rocks, with several pattern indicating the valor. From low to high - Crawlers, Gliders, Ivy fatty, Meaty Fatty, Fourbeaks.This simplifies the logistic of trade among your empire - a sack of rocks materializing an amount of meat to be delivered later allows less back-and-forth among hunters.
And now...>All should your tribe evolve?
Rolled 74 (1d100)>>6022729Alright the acclimation of the Holey Moleys. come on. Big money. i also wanted some samples of Fire Fern. any bonueses for that?
>>6022730cultivate fire ferns for more controlled and secure fire to improve fire mastery.
>>6022734Your draw in already turned the failure into a borderline success; two GETS is a 80 DC
>>6022736alright. i should still be able to try and cultivate those ferns. they are somewhat common in that area far as i know. since they are Holey Moleys favorite food an all.
>>6022735Cultivating fire ferns is valid only if you acquire some first - Jupiter might sell a few, or you'll have to acquire.Fire Ferns are named so because they need fire, not because they generate some.
>>6022738>>6022731alright.... then i might as well try to turn make sure my Holey Moley propagate a lot and start using their metal claws as tools.

>>6022730>>6022731I had intended a second cult to serve as a slayer cult, the Fourbeak cult. >Leave them on society's fringe as an outsider cult. Vulture, the evil goddess of lies and dead-ends already exists as a counterpoint to the good Goddess Raven. Only in the shadow of evil does goodness truly shine, and Raven doesn't throw away opportunities. Besides, it is not Raven's way to utterly destroy. It is Raven's way to profit off of death caused by others. Raven doesn't mind queerness if it advances society. >Tame Fourbeaks, using the psychic domination skills learned in taming the gliders. As the gliders are the peoples' distant eyes searching for new opportunities, the Fourbeak shall be their mighty claws, seizing those opportunities. Thus quoth Raven. If this spontaneously explodes into a Fourbeak cult, the intent is for the Raven cult to be large and mainstream and dominated by women with the Fourbeak cult more of a male cult for berserkers and craftsmen. The Raven cult dominating the sphere of mind and magic and providing guidance while the Fourbeak slayer cultists are more down-to-earth, do physical tasks, and do what killing needs doing so that the Raven priestesses don't have to get their claws dirty.
Simple Ravenpriestess
>>6022822tactical choker wearing and black glider leather skin mantel. or have you found a way to create leather yet?not sure if the Pastebin is completely up to date yet.
The north is cold. If they don't have leather yet, they at least have hide. Cold preserves, heat transforms.
>>6022803I'll have to moderate something : I don't want the use of animals name outside of the planet like Raven and Vulture. You have a subspecies of Scavenger Black Glider, feel free to name them (but something not Raven). Same for Vulture.
>>6022860>>6022865the black Gliders could be Nightwingsthe vulture equivalent be rotwings. to show they are different creatures.>>6022860hmmm. you are correct. this world is very cold anyway.
Flockwing and Farflyer.
I went with names more linked to what the Cerulan peoples care about (although there were probably white flockwings before there were black flockwings since it seems that blackness is a new mutation which started the cult). The flockwings are smaller and stick together. The Farflyers are big and will go a long way to find food. This is why the Cerulan know that you can trust flockwings to show you the way to a kill, whereas Farflyer might lead you on a multi-day journey. Farflyer isn't a reliable guide.
>>6022729Heee the houses are amazing. And windows!>>6022731The focus of the tribe turns back toward the forever storm. It holds many mysteries, so many that permanent dwellings along its edge will be built to aid future hunts into its depths.> Build hunting lodges along the edge of the ever storm, to stage future hunts from
>>6022730If they haven't died already they can keep going. If they die, I'll just capture more. The Trials continue. Project Death cannot happen without Astral Pathfinders
Rolled 76 (1d100)>>6022731Roll for gliding wolf acclim. Have we had art of the gliding wolf? What do they look like?Jupiter tribe will try and grow stone groves across our territory and in the western mountains.
>>6022731>Ghost Claw Tribe Advancement so far : Assassins-like tribe prefer night opportunism over natural matriarch ritual duels and natural hunts, cave nest, using rocks/shaping rocks (Rounder rocks for Bludgeoning, oblong rocks sharpened into Piercing points, flat rocks faceted into edges) + synergized with Shape Ice, turns the projectile into ice blades, boulder or points, Observation behavior, Subjugation, Tamed Holey Moleys, Meditation, Ethereal Spy - Grants your tribe +5 to replicate one research from another non-blank tribes, Agriculture (Fire Ferns), Holey Moley Metal Claws, Primitive Tombs, Spirituality, Everstone Totem (5 spirits), Primitive Painting, Defensive Shelter, Ice Weapons, Stonecarving, Rock Tools (Stone Bleeders), Stone Carved Houses, Shamans, Liana Hunter drawing style (Ghostclaw painting), Symbols Etching, Writing (+3 to Psyker-based runes rolls), Stone Runic Morningstar (+ 7 in Fight rolls. Divide by 2 the efficiency of Armor. Runic. Don't stack with Ice Weapons), Assimilation, Scribes>>Ghost Claw Tribe Failed Advancement : Snow Shade Spell, Painted History, Failed Spying for Nursery Keeps, Stone Weapon, Faith Great Night Mother (Taboo), Runic Stone Armor>>Development Turn : Clothes>With the further advancement of the Ghost Claw Tribe, the current Matriarch Gaa"Nhat'çae Ghost Claw (She-Snow-Calm Ghost Claw) has decided that the Tribe will now have things around them. Each one with a role, shall have a different clothing. From her the Matriarch, to Land Wardens, to Shamans, to Warriors, to Makers (craftsman), Hunters and Growers (farmer).>The Clothes will be made of fur of Dahu, Lianas of Stove Grove and fur of Holey Moleys. Decorative bones and stones will be also present, and some ice. (see image for clothes differences)Yes i think it makes sense for my Matriarchs to have names from now on. Soon they will be not called simply Matriarchs either i believe. If i can roll decently for a while at least.>>6022756>>6022822>>6022540>>6020579>>6022729very cool !
>>6022730>castletownsas the population of the tribe has grown the keeps can no longer house them all leading to underhunters just living around them. This will not do so Empress Burning Grass came up with a simple idea. A walled settlement that surrounds the keep. both a place to gather, live, and work.
