<br>
The story so far...<br>
<br>
Humanity is not welcome in this place. Savage Myrdrall warriors stalk the shadows of the valley for easy prey, seeking the extinction of all mankind at the end of their claws before their supremacy can be usurped in this cradle of civilization. Nomadic hunter gatherer tribes huddle around fires in the night, their chieftains and shamans wise in knowing that if the day belongs to man, then the terrifying night belongs to the living nightmares of the swamp. Though not without hope nor allies in their desperate quest for survival, their people will not know of a peace built upon anything else other the rotting progeny of their hated enemy.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center">————————————————————​</div><br>
This thread is for anything in the game that doesn't necessarily belong in the Discord server, or deserves to be more enduring. We also intend to use this thread for overviews and more sophisticated elements of the roleplay.</div>

The Myrdrall were coming. For a brief time there was respite from the devils found in the encapsulated valley but the signs were unmistakable. They were leaving the swamps and hunting human and beast alike, for sport as much as food. The people moved around and kept the flames high, but still stragglers and those that stood their ground were picked off one by one. The elders whispered that this was not the fate of the tribes... and then the Fallen Scion came... appeared really... perhaps he had always been in the valley and just chose to show himself.<br>

"I convey to each chieftain of each tribe a spark of divine power. Your people have always owned it, now it defines you and empowers your leaders. Come to me and I shall try to guide you through the uncertainty of fates, listen to my stories and heed my words... grow numerous and brave and powerful -- that is what we both require. The gift of fire is already yours, and the boon of magic is just born to you. Collect to you what the land offers, and learn the lands secrets, pacify it's threats. From this valley a new age must be born -- where men become things that you as you are cannot imagine."<br>
<br>
"Heed the Wood, for it will hold the beast at bay. Heed the Clay, for it shall make pot, oven, and dwelling. Heed the stone, as it will make tools and more. Heed the Gold, for it can acquire what cannot be made or heard alone. Learn the secrets of the valley and become the cultures your tribes promise to be, not the handfuls of folk that now shiver in the darkness."<br>
<br>
"Visit my home at the base of the Great Tree of Knowledge, when you need guidance... and I shall travel among you all, despite your alliances or rivalries for the reasons that are my own."<br>
<br>
"I grant each tribe a map of the valley... it will change as the knowledge of humans grows."<br>
<br>
"Attend the sparks, and with them grow strong."</div>

Dawn 2 -- The Cenote<br>
<br>
<span data-s9e-mediaembed="youtube"><span><span style="background:url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wcBosWg1UfA/hqdefault.jpg) 50% 50% / cover" data-s9e-mediaembed-iframe="[&quot;allowfullscreen&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;scrolling&quot;,&quot;no&quot;,&quot;style&quot;,&quot;background:url(https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/wcBosWg1UfA\/hqdefault.jpg) 50% 50% \/ cover&quot;,&quot;src&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wcBosWg1UfA&quot;]"></span></span></span><br>
<br>
The tribe, and Baal, approach the Cenote they now occupy the vicinity of -- it consisted of a great hole that cast light on clear waters below and a series of cracks that descended down into it, though these were dangerous, slick with moss and algae. The constant droplets of water filed the cenote with a kind of music, both from the rivulet from the river leading to the cenote and a veritable orchestra of water-music coming from rushes of water and dripping stalactites inside the underground cistern. When Baal and his tribe approached the Cenote, it was revealed to be very cold in the morning light, a hoary frost almost making seeping clouds of white piping onto the warm surface ground... like a cauldron of cold. <br>
<br>
Baal and his people brought their generous offering of food to the lip of the cenote and prayed for a spirit or Loa to come to them. To commune, To befriend. the sound of a rustling could be heart on the ground beneath their feet, as if something large on the ceiling out of view shook and stirred... then a red formless arm seemed to rise -- like the headless body of a snake, and coil around the baskets of food -- drawing them into the pit. A cracking noise could be heart not far down in the Cenote... four times the tentacular arm rise to the surface, and four times it drew a whole FOOD down into the cenote and ate it, ravenously. Then the rustling and the cracking stopped. the sound of a gentle fan beat in the cenote as a voice spoke directly to the minds of Baal and his people:<br>
<br>
"I am born of your offering, and not into a lust and rage of hunger. My wings must dry, before I can show the world my full majesty -- but I hear your prayers and want them. You are wanted and not as meals for Cletepoc. You are a rich people to have so great an offering, and I was ready to receive it. Return in two days, with the same amount of food, and I shall show you my full beauty. But for now I fan my wings, still wet with my birth."<br>
<br>
More crackling and hissing -- like a snake or catarpillar unfurling from a cocoon or egg. Baal backed his people away from the Cenote as the last of the food was pulled in by what was evidently a creatures prehensile tail. <br>
<br>
The commune was successful.<br>
<br>
The migration was quick and uneventful it seemed. Scratches on the trees promised that the demons had been climbing them in the night, perhaps overlooking the camp, but such signs were quickly left behind. An expedition went west into the jungle to gather wood, First confronted by a pack of dog-sized, screaming toads. But the gathering group was large, and the toads turned tail. There was wood to be gathered, but an entire part of the jungle here was full of open fields of thorny, pillowy plants -- their spongy fibers got caught in the skin and effects and clothing of the Children of Luna as they walked from place to place, Until from the waist down most tribesmen were covered in the thick fibers and the thorns they contained. The tribe was strong, so were not deterred by the punctures from the small thorns, but a great deal of night time would be spent removing all the fiber and spikes from ones hands, legs, and skin... discarded in a large pile at the edge of the camp when the woodcutters returned with 6 WOOD -- mostly because of their baskets allowing them to pick up and carry more.<br>
<br>
With basket and muscle, the tribe worked at the edge of the river to find interesting rock and hopefully gold. Gold was scarce, though a few nuggets were found, but strong and light rocks were found at the base of the riverbed that seemed like they would be interesting to use, as well as a spike of granite that would provide quality tools if the Luna could find the time to craft them. The elders said the "light" rocks were thus because they were hollow -- Earth-eggs, they were called (Geodes) -- and that bounties of crystals could sometimes be found within -- if labor and tool enough could go into breaking them... (1 unit STONE and access to geodes)<br>

The Flos could see and better hear great movement in the jungle wood to the left as two tribes seemed to crash into each other nearby them. Amir wondered if too many humans in one place might attract the demons in force, and the elders questioned if the tribe should move away from this cacophony at first light tomorrow. but for now, they sunned themselves and smoked in the dunes, and motivated their people as best they could. (Poppy use spreads through tribe, +1 morale, Permanent)<br>
<br>
The Elders joined Amir in his casting of prophesy against the moons and stars still bright enough to be seen by day. Blood. The woods would run with screams and blood -- to the west, where the tribes united... unless something was done, the demons would attack tonight, and not even his own people could consider themselves safe. Somebody should tell the bonetakers and the raptors that what they were doing was dangerous -- but perhaps Amir would not, instead opting to see what happened?

 to the gravity of their forecast -- or gain a free move away from the noise and disturbance of the groups uniting. The prophesy seemed to promise that unity in place for the tribes was for those ready to face the demons -- and the demons would indulge congregations with aggression to meet the perceived challenge. Either a fire of Untold size would need to be burned by the joint tribes, or they would have to flee apart to camp separately in the jungle. Then the prophesy ended.<br>
<br>
It did not help at all that most of the tribe was assigned into the same area to gather wood -- this area of the jungle filled now with the noise of people -- three tribes operating out of the same place.<br>
The bonetakers and Raptors were standoffish towards the Flos who came to gather wood in "Their territory" -- but incidents and violence were avoided by the calm words of Amir's elders and the breaking out of a poppy pipe to let more relaxed spirits prevail. The Flos chose to gather wood from the areas the other tribes had crashed their way through the foliage to get the easiest wood to bring back. While they gathered more, they could only bring back 5 WOOD from their endeavor... leaving the rest behind.<br>
<br>
The making of tools, without stone, proved difficult and unrewarding. The group was left with a handful of shoddy tools (1 dice worth) but an inspired idea for a "javelin holder" that would make the throwing of spears and sticks easier, more effective, and longer ranged. A handful of slings were also made from fibrous materials found in and on the wood, with pebbles harvested to give them ammunition.<br>

The tribes of the raptors and the bonetakers collided in the jungle -- and at first both tribes stared at one another. Attak calmed HER people by banging together two hardened bone clubs, and Selma gave a confident cry up from Raptora, and the tribes overcame their concerns and greeting one another -- some embracing others being more furtive with their examinations of each other. The Bonetakers frequently checked the teeth of the Raptor tribesmen. They had good bones. To the raptors the bonetakers looked very strange, but were friendly enough, even if they seemed to lack the same physical boundaries of the more personally territorial raptors. Plans were made to camp together tongiht -- let it be seen what the demons make of so many humans in one place! <a href="/members/karcen.15381/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="15381" data-xf-init="member-tooltip">

<br>
<br>
The tribespeople looking for food found a warren of a giant armadillo -- but did not think they had the weapons/tools, or numbers to hunt it... it's armor was too heavy, but inside it's warren were at least a dozen succulent babies. Perhaps a more organized hunt could be made for this strange game? And what would it's natural plates be worth, if they could be harvested?<br>
<br>
Instead the tribe settled for a field of wild yams and onions, who's striped greens seemed to advertise their presence in the surrounding grasses like little flags. without containers, they could only bring so much home... 3 FOOD was gathered. However they did come upon a pile of wood that Flos tribesmen pushed over but could not take home with them, and gained 2 WOOD as well. Rumors of "Baskets" made from the fiber of trees and plants were being used by the children of luna to make bearing loads easier... this is something worth trying to replicate or trading for.<br>
<br>
A scout was sent to find a male raptor, and indeed one was found sniffing the areas Raptora had marked as her own territory. The scout fell back quickly to avoid potentially falling prey to the raptor's pack, but there was indeed a bull raptor in the jungle that was already interested in seeking Raptora as a mate... one with a blue crest of feathers atop it's head and oversized black back talons. (Decision point -- Mini-adventure to capture/tame this raptor can be done in adventure channel, or trap can be laid for the bull as a future order, or another idea may be thought of)<br>
<br>
Studying the scion's mask was interesting -- there were strange carvings in the seams under the feathers -- faithfully copied it would seem, from what one would assume to be an ORIGINAL mask... all the copied masks had these markings more or less -- as if getting them exactly right were important to the Boul who wore and traded them. Wearing the mask seemed to quiet the mind, but also gave way to a pit of fear in one's stomach, as if wearing it distanced oneself from the fire in their hearts they drew in part from the Scion's spark to give them courage. Researching the mask not only made the tribe curious about an original "negative" of the scion's mask, but also how to make fine decorations on wood, shells, and perhaps even rock. (You may attempt to make chiseling and decorative tools)<br>
<br>
Gathering wood with an axe proved easier than dragging and pushing and collecting sticks. The wood team brought back FOUR WOOD, but this was only because there was not far to take it, and they found some extra that the Flos had worked on to clear but had left it behind. The sound coming from this area of the wood with all the people and wood gathering and other work and conversation and dance between the tribes was telling. Selma wondered if all this activity would attract demons, or repel them... they might want to burn an especially large fire, just in case...<br>
<br>
Going to the clay-pits south of the Flos was easy enough, and the handful of workers used their axes and other primitive stone tools to chop out and cut large clumps of clay to drag back to the camp. Moving the large amount of clay was exhausting (may want to give 2 units extra rest tonight) but in the end 3 CLAY was hauled back to the joint camp of the bonetakers and the Raptors.<br>

<br>
Signs of the demons were everywhere around the camp... clear footprints, plentiful scat. they were not hiding that they were watching the Drakti. Several tribespeople wondered if the clan should move soon, or at least have a matching and worthy fire to keep them even further at bay tonight. No matter what, pointed sticks left behind from the making of spears were placed at the easiest approach to the camp, and none would rest without a spear close at hand...<br>
<br>
Speaking of spears, a great number of them traveled the river to hunt fish and... larger game. The chieftain's exploration and hunting party found itself what appeared to be a small sleeping crocodile... and sought to surround it and taunt it onto land to slay it.<br>
<br>
Mistakes were made. The "Crocodile" as it was perceived was merely the head of the beast, in fact camouflaged to look like a young crocodile -- one wondered if this ruse worked on larger prey that hunted alligators, or just woefully surprised humans that found themselves in combat with a great beast beyond their expectations...<br>
<br>
...the thing charged, and the tribe surrounded it. A horrible cry went up as one of the spears was snapped in half, followed by the swallowing whole of one of the hunting party. Maaravi and Dog, busy exploring, ran in the direction of the hunters but by the time they arrived it was too late to save their friend -- but the tribe had pinned the great sandbar crocodile, turned it over with their spears and the weight of the tribe, and punctured almost every inch of it's underbelly before it could roll over again... killing the beast. TWELVE FOOD was harvested from the great beast, as well as access to a great deal of armored scales -- though there was little to no soft scaly leather left intact. The tribe wondered what the armored scales could be used for -- would they make a great cauldron? a stylized fire pit? plating for hunters? Watertight containers? The chief would know.<br>
<br>
Rites for the dead hunter were performed, and the Drakti would maybe perform a rite for the body in the night, if not, they would leave the body in the water as a gift so as not to offend the spirit of the crocodile. (Night decision point -- burial by river, or burn the body in camp? something else?)<br>
<br>
The spear hunters were likewise extremely successful catching fish, every fish they speared brought more larger fish to the smell of blood and the turbulence of the struggle... another SIX FOOD was taken from the river -- but the enormous surplus of food began to pose it's own problem... could any such mountain of meat be stored anywhere safely without something to contain the smell? How much was likely to rot and go to waste without proper pottery or a cold-pit to store it in? (Decision point -- address massive surplus by giving away, trading, or using excess food or you will encounter spoilage the following day)<br>
<br>
Exploring was also high on the priorities, and a team of hunters and maaravi and dog were charged with this task. They wandered north to the rocky plains, and found a mound that did not seem natural, clawed open long ago by scavengers. Inside where the bones of a short stocky people, their bones heavier than any man, their long beards still clinging to their skulls. Their bodies, exposed to rain and moisture, seemed long ago to have been wearing effects and artifacts that were now just red dust that lay about them. Faded writing was on the roof of the structure, not paintings or images, but symbols... magic perhaps? The scouts did not tarry too long in what might be hallowed ground, but some wondered if the bones of the "little ones" could be used for something. Exploring further it seemed other hills in the stony field might be artificial like this one, but intact... how did the Drakti feel about grave-robbing?<br>
<br>
The stone gathered brought back ONE STONE from their expedition, a quality spike of hard Basalt -- with the group taking cues and landmarks to find the basalt formation in the future if desired.<br>
<br>
The wood gathering group had difficulty pulling the haul along the river with excited scavengers, noisy birds, and repeated miring in the mud... only TWO WOOD was gained... falling time and time again in the mud, the team was surprised to find themselves covered in layers of fragrant dust from the plants of the riverside in one particular area.<br>

The ratkin were happy and unafraid... though perhaps they should be. Working hard all day, the quarriers brought back 2 STONE from their expedition against the cliffs, hopefully they could make some quality tools soon. <br>
<br>
FOUR WOOD was gathered around the warrens, and easily dragged back to camp... in a rock formation betwixt sick and dead trees, the tribespeople found a small pools of shiny water -- it glistened like shiny stone (metal) but it was undoubtedly a fluid. which seemed to trickle from a spring in the stone... dissipating almost faster than it slowly flowed out onto the rock. The tribemen took the dead wood as easy pickings and left the pools to tell Kalna about -- if anything was to be done with them, it would be at the word of a chieftain.<br>
<br>
Scouts found that elkenbeasts could be broken from their herds in small groups in jungle clearings and driven east onto the clay-flats. Once on the clay flats the creatures could be chased until tired out in the open, or if hunters were lucky, they could get an elk bogged down in the clay and kill it quickly. The expedition only managed to do this once, bringing TWO FOOD, but the tactic applied on a larger scale or with the right tools and it could be a tradition to drive the jungle-elk into the clay as a means to acquire food.<br>

The bonetakers clan united with the raptors, if only briefly before the words of Amir the Prophet scared them separate. "Do not bring so many together, the demons come!" the wise of the Flos tribe had instructed, nay commanded... swearing to see a dark future. <a href="/members/adrian_.16306/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="16306" data-xf-init="member-tooltip">

 . They would settle closeby and maintain constant communication, if not during the night when the demons ruled, than through the daylight they could work together. There was plenty of work to do, anyways.<br>
<br>
The Bonetakers caught a boulder-rabbit (so named for it's tremendous size) that gave a less than ample TWO FOOD -- it was stringy eating, but it's bones were large. The bonetakers had to be thankful for that at least.<br>
<br>
Using their tools, the Bonetakers gathered FOUR WOOD from the area they moved west from the Raptor clan. Felling a particular tree caused a rain of fat birds to land on the ground easily caught before they could fly away -- their tree full of nutritious eggs, equalling an additional TWO FOOD.<br>
<br>
Southwest of camp there were long lanes of plains in between the trees of the deepest jungle, seemingly stomped out by great beasts as the largest stumps still dotted the outsides of the stands carved out of the wood. Here it was evidence that many a wild hunt had started or ended in these lanes... as the Larger bones, mostly skulls of herd animals or the ribs of great reptiles, dotted the landscape. It was good that enough tribespeople were sent to gather these great bones, as they were not easy to fully unearth and carry. The Bonetakers would be flush for bones for a few rituals more -- they could construct the pattern the scion showed them in the size intended, and have more bones to work with still. The bonetakers would have to remember these ancient lanes and the bones they bore.<br>
<br>
The camp finally settled in a place southeast of originally planned and sent their emissaries to the raptors to speak of Hera and of her presence watching over both tribes.<br>

Anaya smiles, pleased with the progress that was made last night. That morning, she sings to the water, praying for a bountiful day of fishing for the three people assigned to the task. She and two others go to offer the statue to the Loa of the lagoon, offer their respect, and request the right to take wood from this forest...<br>
<br>
The majority of the tribe went to the water where Anaya had sang. a great wind of pollen blew from the eastern wood and settled on the surface of the lake, bringing with it schools of fish to gobble up the fat seeds and plant matter that floated on the surface. Occasionally it could be seen the Great Dolphin, totem of the Arlan, ushering these schools ever closer to the surface. With so many involved in standing at intervals in the shallow water and grabbing fish as they came to rest, full of giant pollen, TEN FOOD was pulled from the lake.<br>
<br>
Anaya had no small number of tribals come with her to the Groves of the Nature Mound Loa -- a whole team gently carrying the clay idol to the center of the groves where the threatening Loa once stood. Dances and prayers were given to the Loa, and the clay Idol was draped in flowers from the wood. it began to rain, but only in the grove... a heavy rain... a collosal rain that sent the Arlan running. Before they could get far however lightning struck the farthest trees at the edge of the grove, knocking great branches to the ground. The Loa had spoken more subtly this time, leaving FIVE WOOD on the ground for them to take as they fled. "Fear and ask of me." it boomed as the Arlan ran away with their woody prizes.<br>
<br>
Looking over her shoulder, Anaya could see stands of strange cane growing in the shallows only at the edge of the grove... they smelled sweet -- but they did not have time to tarry here. They left the idol and ran with their wood, meeting the rest of the tribe and helping with carrying all the fish they had caught...<br>

<br>
The Triceratops carried the chieftain and his closest elders along and through the jungle path -- lesser creatures diving out of the way of the great and heavy beast that stamped it's way through rough foliage only occasionally but stubbornly stopping to feast upon great roots and tubers it had turned up in the earth. <br>
<br>
There was plenty of wood in the jungle, but much of what they gathered was wet, rotten or smoky. This part of the forest they had moved into was largely dead, but so far they had not found dry and light wood best suited for burning. Only with the help of their totem animal did they push over a great dead tree, scarred multiple times from fire, breaking it into pieces with labor and force of will alone, bringing TWO WOOD back to camp. <br>
<br>
Food in the dead wood was likely scarce as well -- and they cursed in that they had driven most of the easy game away with their loud and destructive entrance. Unless they wished to try to eat the great tubers the Triceratops rooted from the ground, they would have to do with a measly TWO FOOD -- mostly dried berries on their bushes and fat ants that seemed to wander crazily through the rotten trees of the forest. Looking for wood tomorrow would be better, for as night was falling a copse of petrified wood was found, hard and dry, but too heavy yet to move and assure the camp would be burning bright and safe.<br>
<br>
Vines however were common in the rotting woods, and they tribe found all it needed, and then some. Some snakes were mistaken for vines and a couple of tribesmen were injured -- but these were not venomous serpents. They were however tasty (Tribe henceforth has access to all the vine they need -- PLUS ONE FOOD in the snakes)<br>
<br>
The two exploring groups reported what they had found without disturbing or engaging anything.. to the east, there was a black tree that was gnarled into the shape of a man, it's black limbs seeming to grasp out at the setting sun.<br>
<br>
To the north, the tribe spied on strange, lithe and tall tribespeople with great masks that covered their whole bodies that whistled for speech and constantly squabbled -- each fighting to see which was the strongest. They did not wait to see who would emerge the victor, but did discover that these strange beings had begun to follow them before turning back as the night closed in. <br>
<br>
Also, in a clay pit stuck out the top of some strange structure that seemingly fell into the mud over countless ages as the ground softened beneath it. Other ruined structures dotted the landscape... and among them walked some squat and strange man-thing, far too short and stocky to be a man, perpetually walking over his own beard in strange black clothing. He was searching the structures, but the scouts dared not approach... they found his tracks leading south however, if they ever wanted to find him again...<br>

 NIGHT 2:<br>
<br>
While there still was waning light, work began on the new tools as soon as day's tasks were done. The bony plates were seemingly an easy material a unit of rough and frankly cumbersome armor had been made, partially due to the scales edges having tiny interlocking teeth on them, making it easy to forge the plates together - an adaptation of the great reptile they came from, no doubt. The blades were similarly stuck together and smashed with rocks until they were concentrated and fine. The natural teeth on the sides of the blades made the wounds inflicted by them aggravated and painful, it was suspecting profuse bleeding from the wounds would ensue as well. A tongue of flame made from a single scale was added to the ends of the blades as a symbol of religious significance. (+1 morale, Permanent)<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/newsword-jpg.669981/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/606/606941-d4c657702fbc81bdc203c4d5ce1d7215.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="newsword.jpg" title="newsword.jpg" width="100" height="68" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
(weapon made of scales, not metal -- but of this shape)<br>
<br>
The fire blazed brightly, reflecting the eyes of the myrdrall that circled and circled the camp of the Drakti. Then the fire-seeded food was tossed out, bit by bit -- out of the range of the fire, to light up the darkness. Ba-DOOM! Ba-DOOM! an area of the jungle would light up for a split second. and the sound of running and fleeing in alarm. in the moonlight their silhouettes were backlit against the brightness. And the Drakti celebrated, one explosion after another, that they had taken, for once -- to scaring the Myrdrall. The Myrdrall were the ones afraid now, as the fire spark brightened and grew to the size of Maaravi's fist... The people celebrated, even though the myrdrall never did fully seem to retreat. Perhaps they had discovered the means to finally live without fear of the myrdrall...<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/running-myrk-jpg.669982/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/606/606942-6f574217689e59c1edd6404eeda4e37d.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="running myrk.jpg" title="running myrk.jpg" width="100" height="91" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
So the Drakti began taunting them. Ba-Doom! Ba-Doom! Ba-Doom! More and more encouraged, Maaravi's elders picked up the pieces of meat he'd enchanted and whipped them ever more grandeloquently into the dark. Occasionally a Myrdrall was struck directly, with the sounds of burning flesh, small explosions, and howling pain. Ba-doom! The ritual would have lasted all night, had Maaravi not run out of mana... it was somewhere in the dozens of explosions he had sowed (with the power of the grown spark) when the spark grew dim for a moment, then flickered back on. Maaravi was suddenly very tired as if the last bolt of mana had been drawn from his spirt. For the first time, a human mage spent their last reserves of mana of a spell and collapsed.<br>
<br>
The chunk of meat, this one especially large to provide ever increasing fear and pyrotechnics to their display, was dimly enchanted with it's fireseeds. They did not detonate the moment they came into contact with the ground, but fizzled and burned slowly. It landed right at the feet, and face, of the leader of the Myrdrall pack --<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/myrdpack-jpg.669983/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/606/606943-d4dccd7baa8595f8c1b54d66348fea3a.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="myrdpack.jpg" title="myrdpack.jpg" width="100" height="90" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
It did not hesitate to do what an animal as clever as the Myrdrall would do, when presented with a bomb big enough to blow him to smithereens...<br>
<br>
It ran to the edge of the Drakti's firelight and lobbed the great incendiary missile at it's center... into the great campfire -- exploding the Fire-seeded meat, the circle of stones containing the fire, and most tremendously the totality of the campfire itself, blasting in the blink of an eye into bits of flying wood and embers cast high into the air with a fantastic "WOOOOOOOSH!"<br>
<br>
There was a moment of half-light where the Drakti could see around them as the last bits of flaming stick and log bounced off the ground from their great heights...<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/unafraid-myrk-jpg.669984/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/606/606944-76de0c4e422d16e32abcc714e8fc47b6.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="unafraid myrk.jpg" title="unafraid myrk.jpg" width="100" height="91" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Then... the fire went. out. ...and all hell broke loose.<br>
<br>
Most of the children of the tribe were snapped up in a single gesture. already devoured in the moments before they could scream.<br>
<br>
The armed and armored men tried to surround the tribe... but it was too much, too fast. One by one the Myrdrall snatched them, sometimes so fast a leg or an arm would fall where they stood, eviscerated and torn off into the darkness in a single rapid gesture.<br>
<br>
more than ten of the tribe were dead in seconds -- Somewhere in the chaos, A warrior tripped over Maaravi and slung him over his shoulder -- another tribal disemboweled inches from them as he hopped the chieftain towards some dream of safety. The tribe ran in all directions... scattering in terror with whatever they were holding... Only Dog remained in the camp -- belching and barking flame at the demons until the last of the humans was away. Hours passed. Dog could not be found.<br>
<br>
When dawn approached... Maaravi finally awoke at the foot of the great stump -- where his armored warriors, many wounded viciously, leaned against the rock and wood around them. many others died in the night the warriors said, their screams punctuating the loud cacophony of the jungle and bringing enduring silence behind it. Half of the Drakti survivors fled to the camp of the children of Luna, and despite sowing great terror there, were allowed the protection of their fire.<br>
<br>
When all was told: TWO UNITS of Drakti tribals were lost to the night and it's demons. All but one wood and three food were lost as well -- abandoned when the camp was fled. The armored and armed warriors bedecked in their new Croc-scale weapons and armor had all survived the ordeal... more or less. The warriors spoke it seemed none of the demons were slain though they held a rearguard against them -- trying to give as good as they got -- they were saved by their new equipment, without a doubt. One warrior told his tale that he slashed a Myrdrall twice across the chest, and hacked off it's hand, and still the thing looked no closer to falling. The warrior had picked up the claw of the myrdrall before fleeing himself, seeing the tribe had gotten a running start.<br>
<br>
...The hand was offered to Maaravi as a talisman for the tribe. Perhaps the chieftain could fashion a way for it to protect them -- and as day finally dawned non of the Drakti looked forward to the coming night... The noise of the forest once again punctured by the screams of a Drakti tribeswoman grabbed right before the sunlight fell upon her.<br>
<br>
Then the day dawned... and a certain myrdrall, clutching it's bloody stump, fur awash with blood -- howled through the silence that followed.<br>
<br>
(Scale weapons and armor retained, multiple injuries require attention, camp only has 1 wood and 3 food) (-3 morale, temporary -- will cancel temporary positives)</div>

The training of "Bullsworth" was going forward splendidly -- though he was not yet fit for riding, he could already be taught to fetch, attack, follow and numerous other tricks that were in line with his behavior as a pack animal. More time in training and watching Raptora be ridden is all it would take before Bullsworth would be a more than worthy mount for the Tribe.<br>
<br>
The great fire kept the demons away this night, but chaos and the screams of men at the mercy of demons pierced the darkness. With a great bonfire burning and their relatively easterly position, the presence of the demons was felt, but it was muted. <br>
<br>
The great clay bots were warmed in the fire to dry them and the stone-reinforced baskets were constructed as well. Large and requiring more than one bearer each, the Raptors were content with their new storage, gathering and transport gear. Food would keep, and with that, the tribe could grow. (orders involving baskets will have max carrying and reaping bonuses!)<br>
<br>
When the day dawned, the raptors found a slime trail leading past their settlement, which if interested in, they could follow.</div>

The cenote drowned out much of the sounds of the jungle around them, and strangely, especially after Baal's ritual of blood, the Children of Luna did not feel the presence of the Myrdrall as they crafted their pots, quickly hardening in the warmth of the fire. (Tribe has plenty of pots, enough to trade without losing efficiency storage)<br>
<br>
The Sandals were a revolutionary idea -- to run over sharp rocks and rough terrain, the feet of every tribesman was hardened, but to have protection for the feet was still greater. Other Tribes would do well to emulate the foot coverings of the Tribe of Luna. (If other tribes adopt shoes this may add culture to the Tribe) -- move range per day extended to 4 squares!<br>
<br>
The children of Luna manufactured GREAT tools with the granite they received, great hammers/clubs, spiky chisel-picks, hard axes, and more. Tribe of Luna has substantial QUALITY TOOLS, and can trade with losing efficiency.<br>
<br>
The Great fire burned out into the forest and a great acrid smoke broiled out of it when the myrdrall blood was cast into it. The Loa, Cletepoc, noisly and wetly slithered out of the cenote -- a blood-red serpent with great yellow butteryfly wings. It beat it's beautiful wings in the fire and seemed to grow in the awe of the tribespeople. It fanned the smoke of the myrdrall blood up to it, and into it's nostrils. "Cletepoc is pleased -- bring the flesh of the hated ones to me and I shall grant a boon upon your people. Regard Cletepoc, and we shall both grow strong." with that, it slithered back into the Cenote, leaving a few wet scales behind it, the length of knives, and just as pointy at the ends.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/cletepoc-jpg.670765/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/607/607725-cb741821a8f118c0e76c5e88aa8224cb.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Cletepoc.jpg" title="Cletepoc.jpg" width="100" height="75" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
It had been a productive night when they heard the great explosion to the west -- The Drakti fire, barely visible in the distance, had gone out. The demons shrieked with joy and the Children of Luna could hear the Drakti being hunted through the darkness. It was no surprise that Drakti tribespeople, fleeing into the darkness, would find themselves at the fire of the children of Luna. The elders did not have the heart to turn them away, especially considering the fair dealings and so-far friendship the Luna had enjoyed with the Drakti. Their leaders were a big arrogant and standoffish, but these people were desperate for sactuary in the night. When the morning came it would be learned the Myrdrall had eaten almost half of the Drakti -- but the better portion of them that had not hidden with the luna sought refuge near the Great Stump of the Scion. (Decision point -- Tribe of Luna can attempt to take 1 unit of tribesmen from the Drakti (by coercion and diplomacy) or allow the 1 unit of Drakti to regroup with their chieftain.</div>

2 wood is used for the fire. 3 units will focus on cooking fish so it will last longer, and two units will engage in fertility rituals.<br>
<br>
The soft but sizeable fire licked over the dunes of the Arlan camp. Deep in the woods an explosion was heard, and the roaring and scrambling and howling of the demon myrdrall deep in the jungle, but nothing close to the lake... As if in the arms of their fearful Loa, nothing came for them.<br>
<br>
Most inventively the Arlan tribe dried the fish in the campfire, after eating what they needed they saw that the food they had "Smoked" was purged of the spirits of corruption that so quickly ate their share of food left untreated or unstored. The Arlan had mastered food preservation (You may trade 5 food for additional units of tribesmen)<br>
<br>
Beyond that, several tribesmen played in the shallows of the lake and engaged in rituals of fertility dedicated to the Loa. A warm breeze, breathed warmer by the campfire, blew from the Loa's grove. One pair of tribespeople swore their consummation was witnessed by the Loa itself -- perhaps laying a great blessing upon their union... that a great child of nature would be born, and help to advance the standing of the clan... (Perk: Golden Child) -- when children are born you may receive a special gifted child.</div>

The chieftain of the Flos, Amir -- died in his sleep that night in the shadow of a great roaring fire. Some said it was the venom from his snakebite finally come to claim him -- some say it was bad caviar he had eaten from the Great hermit crabs the Flos had slain with their allies... but all hell broke loose in the Flos camp when Amir was found dead. First there was a heated debate about who would inherit the spark -- which degraded into infighting. In the end a single tribesman snatched the spark and ran into the jungle with it -- saying he would return when he mastered it's power and reunite the Flos -- who had already begun to fracture and spread in corners of the firelight to await to dissipate at dawn. <br>
<br>
The demons left the Flos alone -- and in the end they were 5 distinct groups (1 unit each) -- THESE UNITS MAY BE BOUGHT FOR 3 FOOD EACH IF YOU HAVE PERFORMED A FERTILITY RITUAL, or 5 food if you have not. Who gets what will be worked out in the discord channel, contact a GM if you want to "Buy" tribals from the Flos, and there may or may not be events/conditions associated. The Astral spark of the Flos is currently lost, but could be found to make a tribe even more powerful. Flos units have knowledge of the secrets of sulfur and the poppy... which may be useful to other tribes.<br>
<br>
In the end, it was little to be said but that the Flos, as a united entity, were gone -- some would join other clans, some would vanish into the jungle, and perhaps many of their number would be welcomed by other tribes. <br>
<br>
...But the story, for the Flos themselves, is at an end.</div>

The bonetakers fire was the greatest one yet -- it's embers lit fronds in the canopy and several times it was feared that the fire might spread outside of the camp, but it only breathed storms of flittering light with the wind that danced through the jungle high and low and, as best as the bonetakers could assess, repelled the myrdrall beautifully.<br>
<br>
Despite the tribe being very busy -- the Scion "Device" -- a pattern and constellation of bone piles and magical designs that lined up on a focal point in the center -- was complete. Where as the first larger but less complete design had but a weakening of the veil between life and death -- this version of the device was undoubtedly a portal. Skeletons and ghosts stood at the door to some dark other plane beyond the veil, gesturing for offerings, prayers, bargains or deals. Behind the throng of lesser creatures greater grey beings in strange clothing and ornaments seemed to leer almost out of sight. The bonetakers could feel safe summoning skeletons and ghosts into their service with the proper offerings or arrangements... but the elders of the Bonetakers remembered tales of the grey ones -- they were the Wights -- mostly dead from times before men... and those would be difficult to parley with and even harder to control. (DEVICE MARKED ON NEW MAP) -- it can be used when the bonetakers are here to magnify bone rituals and to summon undead minions for bargains/payment. The great purple door amid the bones was seen as a comforting and protective influence. The bonetakers feared not this power, for it was theirs to call upon.<br>
<br>
QUALITY TOOLS (enough for the tribe to trade excess) were made from hardened bone in a variety of interesting and creative shapes. Devices for picking, digging, cutting and grabbing and still other uses were made from the bones the bonetakers had gathered. Harvesting canes for high fruits (and animals) were the best of the tools designed, and would likely be emulated by other tribes. (Harvesting canes gather more food non-hunting, and if adopted by other tribes may give bonetakers a culture bonus)<br>
<br>
Besides this, The tribe worked -- again nearly exhausting their supply of bone (necessitating gathering more) on making suits of armor from hardened melded Skeletons of beasts. One warrior was almost completed entombed in a suit of bone leading a unit of heavily armored warriors (one unit of bonetakers is heavy armored, with champion) a variety of smaller protections were distributed among the tribe but for the most part the best warriors in the tribe were decked out in hardened bone (which was difficult to remove without magical help) with hardened and nasty bone weapons.<br>
<br>
Not a trace of the demons was seen nor heard around the camp... the huge fire burned into dawn and then some.</div>

2 wood burnt to keep night demons away<br>
<br>
2 stone used to make spears, with as much wood as needed for the spear shafts by 2 people (2 im guessing?) <br>
<br>
The modest fire seemed to keep the demons from approaching the warrens -- at least in force anyway -- as occasionally in the night scrabbling and howling could be heard in the outskirts far beyond the flames at their cave entrance.<br>
<br>
Under the cover of the warrens the Ratkin worked hard fashioning crude but cruel spears out of wood and stone -- Each warrior in the end was given a stone knife and a strong wooden spear (Excess can be traded without harming efficiency) -- some smaller spears were crafted for throwing also, though they were short ranged to be truly accurate. (Perk - Counterstrike -- Ratkin deliver a (relatively weak) missile attack before they can be engaged in melee)<br>
<br>
The stone magic of the spark was invested in the tools... melding the stone into the wood to make them strong (2 stone and 2 wood used) -- The excess bits were made into a small amount of QUALITY TOOLS.<br>
<br>
Affection in the warren remained high, and spirits and warmth were high as well. In the night, one unit of Flos tribesmen came to the ratkin and begged to join the tribe -- would the ratkin take them in?</div>

Some of the Tyrien swore they heard an explosion and howling chaos on the far side of the river, but such alarmism was dismissed as piles of heady flowers were poured into the modest campfire filling the resting areas with a lurid and intriguing aroma... one by one, those concerned for fear of what might be going on in the dark, were pulled into the nearest parts of the fireside and embraced in the rites of closeness traditional to the clan. Spirits joined and elevated, and dreams of new kinsmen and children preoccupied what little thinking was being done in the festivities.<br>
<br>
With vines, darkwood, and flecks of stone -- cruel "Horns" (Spears) were created for the tribe. darkwood was heavier than normal wood which made the spears unsuitable for throwing, but the added weight seemed to make them more dangerous on the attack, and to hold solidly when braced against the ground -- (Perk Gained: Receive Charge) -- Tyrian Spearmen can opt to attack second in melee for a considerable bonus to damage)<br>
<br>
Liviander looked over their clan and was happy. The spark seemed to pulse and grow in their hands. It was a good night -- one that would be remembered hopefully in leaner times (+1 morale, temporary) Also, 1 unit of Flos tribespeople heard the sounds of Tyrien lovemaking in the jungle and explained the fact that their chieftain was dead, seeking asylum in joining the Tyrian if Liviander's people gave them 3 FOOD. The elders said that if the food could be spared it should be offered up -- as it would already give product to the rites of fertility by growing the tribe...</div>

<br>
Maaravi travelled with two groups of his faithful to where the clan had camped, that terrible night before.<br>
<br>
There was blood everywhere -- but anything larger than a finger in the way of flesh was meticulously removed by the Myrdrall.<br>
<br>
They wasted nothing... and there was quickly not a dream of finding anyone alive that was not already accounted for.<br>
<br>
What was stranger however is that the camp had seemed to be subsequently looted. Non-meat food scraps lay here and there,<br>
 <br>
things the Myrdrall wouldn't touch -- picked over and carried away. Then they found the footprints. Large men, come from the west, had arrived at the old campsite likely scant hours after dawn, coming from the west. A gourd of black slimy liquid was found fallen in the brush, with strange symbols and pictograms not familiar to any of the tribes the Drakti had yet<br>
Encountered. tracking them towards and back away from the Drakti camp they could see this other tribe travelled in <br>
unpredictable snake-like patterns -- they snuck to the Drakti camp from the west, and divided up heading further east.<br>
The signs of their passing did not look friendly.<br>
<br>
Still, after no sign of the interlopers after tracking them a modest distance, Maaravi and his tribespeople joined the<br>
smaller group of hunters in the effort to gather food. a herd of Hairless ungulates was found rooting for food of their own<br>
when the Drakti fell upon them. They were fortunate not only to slay numerous members of the herd, but discovered what they were grazing on, giant wild onions, could be pulled up and eaten as well. Overall 10 Food was retrieved by such a large<br>
hunting party, baskets full.<br>

Maaravi stopped a group of Flos fleeing through his terrirory and appealed and spoke out to them about the benefits of<br>
joining the Drakti -- the two tribes had met adversity, but could overcome it together... for 5 food, 1 UNIT OF PEOPLE of <br>
The Flos joined the Drakti. They would eventually lose their own ways and traditions to their adopted culture, but for the <br>
time being having flos in the Drakti Tribe confers perk ("Twist Fate" - one re-roll per adventure)<br>
<br>
The remaining Drakti Gathered wood in the forest near the river -- but a freak rainstorm cut productivity for the better<br>
part of the day -- only 3 wood was retrieved, despite tools and readiness.<br>

With the help of Alle the dolphin and fisherman's bounty, the food rolled in for the tribe. Not only did they gather/spear/or<br>
otherwise capture 10 FOOD. In addition, despite a frightening encounter with a sharkworm (which Alle repelled) the fishers <br>
caught an exceptional creature of mystic portent -- The thorn-scaled Harlequin Lobster! Alternatingly white and black<br>
depending on the reflection of the light, this great camoflage in water was a resplendent radience above water. <br>
<br>
The Elders wondered what to do with this rare find:<br>
<br>
It could be eaten by the elders and fashioned into a beautiful crown,<br>
It could be eaten by the warriors and made into a wicked spiky axe, with claw blades and bedecked with stinging thorns,<br>
Or -- the tribe mused, they could let the exceptional specimen free... hoping the spirits would favor them... though still<br>
others argued that doing so would be rejecting the favor already shown by the lake...<br>
<br>
The unnamed nature Loa of the Arlan shifted lazily in it's pile of vines and pools of water... adulating in the dances and<br>
prayers offered by the Arlan. In the end, 5 WOOD worth of branches rose from the ground for them to break and harvest. The Clay idol they had made for the Loa stood proudly on the edge of the pools, already overgrown with fines and moss.<br>
<br>
Anaya caught a body of floss refugees huddled in the remains of their camp -- not having decided where to go. They were<br>
happy to hear the Arlan's offer of welcome and peace within their tribe, and 2 UNITS OF PEOPLE joined the Anaya. (They would  slowly lose thier own tribal identity and powers to the ways of the Arlan, but for now having Flos Tribespeople allows 1 free re-roll per encounter while the portent energy of the Flos is still strong. -- note perk "Twist fate, 1/encounter")<br>
<br>
The rest of the Flos had already spread in every direction, but generally to the north. It remained to be seen if other<br>
tribes might adopt them.<br>

<br>
The Children of Luna and the Ratkin joined forces in strength to hunt the elkenbeast of the eastern forest jungle --<br>
the plan was simple -- the sneaky Ratkin would surround the herd on three sides and chase them out onto the clay-flats to<br>
the east where Luna Tribesmen would allow them to get bogged down in the clay and kill them.<br>
<br>
The result was devastatingly successful. Even where elkenbeast escaped time and again on the clay-flats the Luna could still<br>
chase them, and by the time the ratkin came to the clay-flats to help the terrain was littered with dead elkenbeasts with<br>
plenty of food to be had -- though scavengers took or camped some of the scattered outlying kills, the ratkin dug up many<br>
kills quickly before opportunists and scavengers could steal too much. <br>
<br>
The Tribe of Luna Netted TWELVE FOOD with the ratkin having their own haul. The herd was scattered off if not completely destroyed, lending one to think of perhaps hunting more sustainably, but for now bellies would be full... and cooperation between the Ratkin and the Luna brought the two tribes closer together.<br>
<br>
The children of Luna would indeed eat well, for they had also tasked a good number of people to gather the purple<br>
"Purse-fruit" that scaled into the upper canopy. New species of birds, monkeys and lizards dwelled up near the purse-fruit,<br>
The purple fruits provided THREE UNITS OF FOOD, but more to the point was the heady perfume and strong spirits the fruit<br>
seemed to contain. Eating the fruit made tribespeople brave and reckless, the hottest and ripest ones providing almost a <br>
sense of euphoria. (+1 morale temporary) -- elders speculated in making the fruit into a special brew that would bouy the<br>
mood of the whole tribe.<br>
<br>
The expedition to the north led to a great structure that looked as if it was mostly hewn from the living rock itself. The<br>
massive ediface was lined with the effigies of stout but short men wearing strange costumes, carved into the rock. The door<br>
was made of shiny stone that seemed to be made of many peices that unified at a central point low to the ground where there was a slight depression or intentation in the rock -- like the final peice of the door was missing. High above in the cliffs<br>
the top of the ediface seemed to have windows, thin slats that were decorated in strange runes and pictograms, and plants<br>
and vines hung all over the structure. Perhaps an adventure could be planned to scale into the windows of the great <br>
structure? For now, the cold door only mocked their approach. <br>
<br>
On the way back however one of the stoutmen in strange clothing was seen in the flesh, working under a rock overhang in the cliffs where the rock wall met the ground. The stoutman (Dwarf) seemed wild eyed and possibly drunk, but he gesticulated wildly to the group as he seemed to pump some strange device into the mouth of a hole in the rock burning bright... He draped a strange harness over his ears and mouth and spoke in trade talk -- "Oi! Oi! Lanky ones! speak to a lone and friendly stranger?" the words were trade talk, but did not seem to line up with his lips or the gutteral sounds he was <br>
making behind the device. (Decision point: Baal may meet a dwarf)<br>
<br>
The Flos were scared, and hard to track down, as much as they were scattered around the east part of the valley. Baal<br>
convinced one unit of Flos to join them citing their recent great hauls of food and shiny pearls and comfortable shoes and<br>
quality tools. ONE UNIT OF PEOPLE joined the Luna from the Flos... giving the Luna perk "Twist Fate" (one reroll per<br>
encounter, until assimilated.)<br>
<br>
Finally -- when almost all the tribe reconvened to discuss plans for the evening, the were encountered by a large group<br>
of a previously unencountered tribe. They did not know trade talk, and were barking and hostile. "Cannit! Nee-Gak! Cannit!<br>
Orfex Gragh!" the foreigners seemed to be demanding food in tribute and submission to their leadership... (This will have <br>
to be handled diplomatically or will be a 6 v. 6 unit battle resolved before nightfall)<br>

that seemed to grow entwined around certain trees but were really the product of their own vines snaking up towards the <br>
sunlight. THe tribe might want to make a concentrated effort to gather the citrus for it really was valued and enjoyed by <br>
the tribe. (Clan gains 5 FOOD) <br>
<br>
Raptor Elders visited a nomadic collection of Flos heading further northeast to hide from the Myrdrall. This group had no<br>
elder of their own, so "Trade talk" could not be established. The Raptors attempted to relay their deal and offer of <br>
safety with pictograms, but the Flos seemed frightened by this. In the end, No Flos would join the Raptors, they returned<br>
with their offerings of food empty-handed.<br>
<br>
A separate unit went off to seek Wood to gather... they found FOUR UNITS OF WOOD, "Darkwood" to be precise. Darkwood smelled powerful and pleasant when burned, as well as being additionally smoky. They found a separate stand of trees sticky and dripping with sap, but found it too difficult to harvest these trees without starting early in the day when the sap was most viscous. <br>
<br>
A small expedition was sent to the river to pan and dive for gold -- but they only got crumbs of the shining material for<br>
an entire day of work... (NO GOLD GAINED)<br>

Gwerikos saw to the establishment of his tribe's camp personally. The Yamna settled along the river, scouts telling them<br>
of several neighbors, including the Luna and Ratkin tribes seemingly stripping the eastern clay-flats of herd animals.<br>
The camp was not far from the water, and near the beaches and clay-flats to the east. They easily found patches of maize and<br>
cannabis at the foot of the jungle and along the river. It was a good spot... for as long as they could keep it.<br>
<br>
SIX FOOD of Maize was gathered from various sources, the gatherers taking care not to pick all of a patch dry and to <br>
scatter some seed for the earth and bird spirits. The group also gathered a further ONE FOOD of delicious water plants <br>
that stained their skins in reds, yellows and blues... painting scant clothing and skin alike.<br>
<br>
An elder found a strain of puffball fungus that gave a very pleasing odor and color of smoke when burned... concentrated <br>
and enjoyed with other flammable plant spirits this "Incense" lent itself to magical and religious meditation and research.<br>
<br>
The rest of the tribe observed the local wildlife, noting there was much more life in the trees above their heads than even<br>
the plenty to be found in the understory and forest floor. Colonies of non-poisonous snakes made nests by the riverbank,<br>
high hills of fist-sized ants could be found by the beaches and on the clay-flats, and a variety of plump and colorful birds<br>
always seemed just out of reach, above them or even along the ground.<br>
<br>
The group also saw a great "Sandbar Crocadile" floating downstream from them... a dangerous predator, but potentially<br>
valuable prey...<br>

All signs pointed to the idea that the ratkin would need to move... soon. Myrdrall tracks were all around come morningtime<br>
and in more than one area it looked like the demons were digging on the outskirts of the warrens. The Elders knew there<br>
were other warrens further west that could be used, and if labor was put into it additional hidey-holes in the valley <br>
could be made to cycle between. But the Ratkin knew most of all that the Myrdrall were CLOSE. Too close now.<br>
<br>
The hunting expedition with the children of Luna was a huge success, bringing TWELVE FOOD back to the nests for what was not much work -- so many tribals -- indeed two tribes in number -- had dedicated themselves to the task and stripped the herd <br>
down to stragglers. A ratkin was injured defeding a kill from wolves, but otherwise the hunt was uneventful except for being<br>
so gainful.<br>
<br>
Gathering wood was more difficult due to a freak rainstorm which bogged down part of their harvest in the clay and mud...<br>
However FOUR WOOD were gleaned thanks to the dedication of the tribals and the efficacy of their tools.<br>
<br>
Lastly, The ratkin saw strangers from the west, some new tribe, picking through the ruins of the old Drakti emcampment<br>
and then making a bee-line for the Children of Luna camp. Night would soon fall, so perhaps it was best to stay out of <br>
such intrigues -- but perhaps the children of Luna needed their help? These strangers did not seem friendly!<br>

Attak's tribals set about their work. The first group found purple leathery fruits hanging high in the trees from vines and gathered these fruits, though they smelled heady and of strong spirits. FOUR UNITS OF FOOD were gathered with their quality tools.<br>
<br>
Attak's task force sent to find wood knocked over a particularly large dead tree and salvaged it for SEVEN WOOD. it was a good haul, one that was quickly brought to camp.<br>
<br>
Flos refugees were found, and a UNIT OF PEOPLE would agree to join the bonetakers for FIVE FOOD. Would the bonetakers agree to the terms?<br>
<br>
The tribals sent to gather bones found a supply of ivory in a mammoth burial ground. The tribe is considered to have unfettered access to ivory -- which if they use for ornamentation will give the Tribe a permanent +1 to morale (and can be traded to share this bonus) For once the bonetakers did not feel strained with their supply of bones after this gathering returned. It was a good haul.<br>
<br>
The rock-gathering crew had a cruel and sudden surprise befall them -- where the land met the cliffs it was especially sandy, with sparse and dead trees near the center of the area. Avoiding that "haunted wood" -- the band made it's way to the foot of the cliffs, but they were interrupted as a giant shift in the sands threatened to pull them all down as something rose to the surface -- a great<br>
ANT LION! The bonetakers did not hesitate once they got their wits about them and did not fall for the trap of the shifting sands -- they quickly grabbed their bone clubs and wicked shivs and descended upon the beast, killing it before it had a chance to completely surface and agress against them. They were not ready for the sands to swallow up the ant lion and threaten to swallow them as well when <br>

<br>
The Tyrien set about their tasks. Finding food inside the petrified forest was nigh-impossible -- the largest animals they found inside the wood were small birds and insects, and try as they might they could not make appreciable meals of these creatures -- besides, the birds were friendly to the Tyrien and often picked stinging insects off of them that were common in the petrified wood. Travelling south they found a giant sloth especially low in the trees (these beasts were usually only heard much higher in the canopy) and they were constantly passed by rolling armadillo creatures, great boulderous ones rolling along with smaller babies -- bouncing through the underbrush. <br>
<br>
The great hunting party decided to set their eyes on the giant sloth -- with the easiest route to catching it flat-footed being to uproot it's tree. It was hard work and took time, but with crude rocks and flakes of stone they set about chopping the tree down. When successful, the Great Sloth fell to the forest floor and, typical of it's speed and biology, could not put up much of a fight. They found strains of palatable algae growing in the back-fur of the beast as well as the beast itself totaling SEVEN FOOD. With a great harvest of bananas (and some juicy tarantula nests found with them) an additional FOUR FOOD was gathered after the hunt (Total of 11) -- The tree they felled to catch the sloth was also good for burning -- granting 4 WOOD. <br>
<br>
Tools could be made from the sloths claws and other things made from it's pelt, but it would be up to the Tyrien to see to these if desired as night projects.<br>
<br>
The second sizable group of tribals gathered wood near the hunters, and while not cutting down trees of their own, each tribal gathered armfuls of wood to return to camp. (SIX WOOD GAINED -- total 10 counting sloth tree)<br>
<br>
Searching south, Liviander and the chiefs personal guard found three points of interest that could make potential places for the tribe to move the following day... to the Southeast there was a clearing that seemed especially shielded from wind and the tall trees did their part to keep away much of the rain... to the south there was a collection of strange stone structures -- made of a kind of stone that seemed to weather the elements and obviously the sands of time -- as they were seemingly very old.  <br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/mastabas-jpg.672733/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/609/609693-2c3dac4c021aa7ddfb9a38a0aa444349.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="mastabas.jpg" title="mastabas.jpg" width="100" height="47" loading="lazy"></a><br>
These structures were surprisingly cramped inside given their size, and all seemed to contain silos or shafts underground. But the tribe wondered how defensible they<br>
might be against the myrdrall, the signs of which inside the development seemed very slight. <br>
<br>
A third potential place to move the tribe was a seeming step-stair of treestumps that made their way off the ground into the understory of the jungle -- taking to the tops of the lowest and thinnest trees there was plenty of area to sit and settle in the understory of the greater trees that meshed with the top of the young wood. The Tyrien might not want to move into a cluster of ancient structures, nor take from the ground to live in the trees, but the scouts proclaimed these were options.</div>

1. Baal makes a blood sacrifice to Luna and her agents such as Cletepoc and Bullrathi, Luna's spirits/agents sent to guide the tribe.<br>
Baal, Chipped Full Moon, Congealed Myrdrall Blood, 3 Units of Behemoth Hermit Crab Blood, Orfex Blood, Elken Beast Blood, Fish Blood, Cinnamon, 4 Units of Orfex Bodies, Essence of Cletepoc<br>
<br>
2. The entire tribe takes part in the festival of worship, blood, pacts and fertility.<br>
4 Units of Luna, 1 Unit of Flos, 2 Units of Orfex, 2 Units of Food (Elkenbeast Flesh and Purse Fruit), 3 Units of Wood, Bullrathi Fortune, Star Maps (From Flos)<br>
<br>
NIGHT 3...<br>
<br>
The Children of Luna would never know how close they had come to death.<br>
<br>
Covered in blood, cavorting in ecstasy, Pouring vital essenses on the ground and on their bodies... The Myrdrall in the darkness looked at them like they were seasoning themselves, and baring themselves for the slaughter -- their camp littered with juicy corpses of the Orfex. Their spirits however, would not abandon them... The Bullrathi itself came down river to adulate (from afar and out of notice) the worship and regard of the Luna. Cletepoc too, sensed the Myrdrall's immanent attack, and concentrated hard on redirecting them. There was another, more vulnerable meal in the wilderness, Cletepoc whispered into the minds of the Myrdrall -- smell their lassitude, find their weak fire.<br>
<br>
And the myrdrall, driven to caution by the bullrathi's proximity and the cletepoc's wiles, sought easier prey... and found it... elsewhere.<br>
<br>
In total, the ceremonies and fertility rituals were great for morale and the strength of the tribe. The blood spark grew in Baal's hand, and with it expanded his power (+2 spells)<br>
<br>
The elders talked deeply in confidence with Baal of his thoughts in the afterglow of the festivities. They were developing the seed of a culture, more than a personality of their tribe, but beliefs and ways. The Flos had brought the trance of the poppy into the ceremonies and the ritual burning of sulfur. The Luna would dream colorful dreams, and from them would spin the pearls of ideas...<br>
<br>
In the morning, the children of Luna found themselves covered in veritable clumps of making red butterflies that fled, all at once, out of the camp as the Children rose. The tracks of the Bullrathti were found by the first morning's scouts, and a sweet song rang from the cenote as the water played in it's cistern. Baal knew Luna was pleased, and that the spirits were pleased. But he would never know that they had spared him that night. That the true fate of the tribe, without God and Loa, was to be eaten by the myrdrall at the height of their frivolity and ritual-making...<br>

 : Night 3<br>
<br>
The ratkin move went pleasantly and well organized. By the time the Ratkin had left, the myrdrall themselves were left with an empty ratkin lair and scratching their heads as to where they had gone.<br>
<br>
Soft piles of grass and leaves were piled with tufts, scraps and layers of fur -- the "Cozification" of the fastidious ratkin continued until finally everyone took their time of slumber.<br>
<br>
The Flos who were adopted were adapting to the lives of "True rats" with difficulty, but were making progress. It was not like the Star clan to not be able to see the stars as they slept -- but the warmth and comfort of the ratkin warrens and the power of the ratkin's great fire gave them succor and peace as they made their adjustments. They also found the ratkin to be especially "Physically Friendly" to the new outsiders-come-family, with the ratkin grooming and embracing each of the Flos to let them know they were wanted, protected, and a part of the clan. Much work was done to get the smell of the foreigners off of them and the sweat and dirt of the tribe onto these new additions. Flos no more, they turned their backs on the stars and joined the ratkin proper.<br>
<br>
The Ratkin, in all their digging and rummaging for a new camp -- found TRUFFLES -- delicious commodities that when added with other food made everything delicious, if not at least more palatable. (Ratkin gain COMMODITY "TRUFFLES" -- +1 Permanent morale as long as the tribe does not starve - can potentially be shared with other tribes)</div>

<br>
The fire was MASSIVE in the Raptor's camp -- Bullsworth and Raptora lay close to it curled around the clutch of eggs, giving them maximum warmth while shielding them from the worst of the heat. <br>
<br>
And the Demons WERE out there. As log after log and branch after branch was piled onto the fire, the circle of light would grow and the Raptors could SEE the Myrdrall's feet move back into the darkness -- they stood at the EDGE of the light, sometimes their hanging drool or falling saliva would catch in the light of the fire or the flames would reflect in the eye of a Myrdrall just right and the Raptors could see they were waiting. Close... But thanks to the great blaze, they dared not come closer. Still... the tribe had to move soon -- as even fire, alone, would not hold them at bay forever.<br>
<br>
The expedition sent to find the Flos found them approaching and pleading to be let around the fire... it was visible from far away even before the sun fully fell and the Flos were desperate to find safety in the dark. The Flos elders brought with them opium poppy plants (which they demonstrated how to enter trances with, treat pain, and simply enjoy -- as well as how to find and use sulfur to make brighter fires and heat magic. (Morale +1 Permanent if the tribe uses poppies passively. Raptors gain ONE UNIT of Flos tribespeople to integrate into their tribe.) <br>
<br>
And so the night went on... log after log, branch after branch. The raptors were proud of their camp, their fire, their TRIBE...<br>
<br>
...But oh the darkness beckoned to them just beyond the faintest shadow. Death had come.<br>
<br>
And it would soon tire of watching.</div>

 --- Night 3...<br>
<br>
the fire roared in the camp of the bonetakers, and those who were not napping were hard at work -- tending the flames, or tending their duties. <br>
<br>
All night the bonetakers fashioned their stone statues to make vessels for the souls of the dead. Stone skulls, approximately a score of them -- were fashioned with precision, hard-work, and tools. Attak could tell immediately the potency and usefulness of these vessels -- and Attak and the elders wasted no time calling the souls of the Human dead to the statues so they could be bound to serve them. The great Device, the campfire built right beside it, was used to thin the veil between life and death once again. Turned back were the dead of Kokylos, who demanded gold, and turned away were the dustmen of ages past, for all they knew was hunger. Attak called forth the recent dead from beyond the valley -- who joyfully put their souls in the carved icons of stone. <br>
<br>
Tireless, Bloodless, Pitiless, Fearless --THREE UNITS of skeletons joined the bonetakers in their camp -- moving slowly at first, as if learning to wield a skeleton and learn to ambulate a second time... But all would be agile and ready to work by morning light... Attak and the Elders would be exhausted with their investments of power and binding the dead to their will and true loyalty, but by the end of the process the task was complete. It would be interesting to see what the bonetakers would do with their new puppets -- having for the first time in living memory succeeded in such a ritual as this... though the elders spoke of powerful sorcerors before the myrdrall that called forth the dead to work for them, tonight they reclaimed that vital part of their birthright. (+2 morale, Temporary)<br>
<br>
Elsewhere around the fire, long supple branches, bits of cane, wicker, and indeed bones as well were used to make the baskets the bonetakers would use to increase their yields at harvest and carry more from expeditions. With the success of the ritual morale was high, so many baskets of great quality were produced.<br>
<br>
Also, the ivory the clan had captured was fashioned into armor and ornaments, every part became a sleeve, or grieve, or chest-cage, or conical helmet... and with the plenty left over after the suit of hardened bone plate was complete the rest was fashioned into ornaments and decorations, large and small. (+1 morale, Permanent) -- the bonetakers culture circled around the use of such materials, so it was only fitting they wore ornaments of the finest ivory in necklace, bracelet, piercing, and ring. <br>
<br>
The Myrdrall strangely were not to be observed -- perhaps the power of necromancy or the presence of the walking dead repelled them. The Bonetakers would just receive this as another deserved blessing... though many of the tribe talked about the importance of FINDING A LOA to empower them and their magic.</div>

 -- Night 3.<br>
<br>
The nature of the beasts... that was what Maaravi surveyed. Standing at the edge of the firelight -- his own torch casting an arc of light into the deeper darkness -- HE watched THEM. He saw mighty thewed grey beasts that walked like men -- almost daring to poke their giant vicious heads into the light of Maaravi's torch... great teeth gleamed at him and withdrew, for he... somehow... was not afraid. Then he saw something more... the skulkers. These walked on all fours, and were more brown than grey. These did not show themselves on the edge of the light... the skulkers turned their heads towards the light and turned away hatefully. In their eyes Maaravi saw fear of man -- and the decadence of a race that had for far too long remained dominant to the point of decline. There was more to the myrdrall than what they seemed... something they hide with them in the darkness. However, Maaravi could not deny their number nor their persistence -- they must fear something even more than man for the skulkers to remain circling, something absolute that held them to circle the fire even as Maaravi stood in defiance of them. Maaravi was not struck down by the loping bipedal ones -- perhaps because he watched them too, and did not flinch. In the eye of a Myrdrall, what did a fearless man seem like? Maaravi wondered if it was even prey. Maaravi, son of Drakkosh, was not... and this he resolved was why he lived, and dawn came to his tired eyes with his brethren bidding he finally rest even after his torch was guttering, the sun had rose, and the Myrdrall were nothing but a memory etched in his brain... he saw their footprints, still saw their silhouettes -- he would never forget the great face of teeth that ALMOST dared to challenge him. He felt he had confronted the Myrdrall -- that that even after they had tasted the blood of his blood, they were given pause. The experience changed him. (Maaravi not subject to Myrdrall terror -- +1 permanent morale to tribe for the story of Maaravi and the true nature of the Myrdrall.)<br>
<br>
The Ivory-tipped spears, attached to hardened wood, were deadly indeed and longer and lighter than the spears of any other tribe. Using the spirit of the goring animal and the fine point sheared with the sweat of man, these weapons were vicious tools of hunting and war. (Spears can be THROWN at +2 on 1d6, or standard +1 in combat) -- the ivory also served as decoration to the finest warriors, their spearhead having notches of kills or the symbols of beasts slain with them to empower them with totems. The warriors were much emboldened with these weapons... They were Drakti, the first of blades, and they prided themselves by their weapons.<br>
<br>
The absorbtion of the Flos was not easy, nor was it fast. They did not have the stalwart heart of a Drakti, nor yet did the flame of Drakkosh burn in their hearts. They mewled about portents and fates and stars when the Drakti saw only the will of their god. While the Flos had some powers of prophesy it might seem, the Drakti disregarded this. There was one fate for them at that was the will of Drakkosh. This idea would have to die in the hearts of the Flos before they could truly be called kinsmen. (FLOS UNIT MUST OPERATE INDIVIDUALLY UNTIL NIGHT 6 -- after which they are no longer referred to as Flos, but become Drakti in their own right, they must work separately until then.) The Flos did however teach the Drakti of the marrying of fire to the wild poppy, and the trances that could occur, and the pain that could be relieved on burning of this plant. Surely this was a secret Drakkosh had intended for them, put the flos into existence perhaps for them to find. Still more compelling was the secrets of Sulfur -- a rock and dust that promised larger, brighter, more brilliant fire magic and ritual. How they would use it would have to be discussed with the elders or determined by Maaravi but there was no doubt that Sulfur in the Hands of the Drakti, the people of fire, was a great tool and even greater portent. One elder dreamed a poppy dream of a Pottery filled with sulfur, scored along it's sides so as to break outwardly with a violent sulfur explosion when lit. Another elder tranced that these great pots could be made small, hand-thrown by the Drakti to sow great noise, confusion, fear, and damage in the ranks of enemies or prey before attacking. (Primitive hand grenade idea unlocked -- further applications may be discovered, created)<br>
<br>
The great fire did much to balm the souls of the two tribes, Flos and Drakti, as did it send a potent message to the Myrdrall -- their fire was great, the fire in their souls were greater. The Flos felt safe in the bosom of the Drakti, but they were not ready to become true Drakti, yet. Still, the great fire, the poppy, the sulfur and the bravery of their chieftains vigil made discussions sincere, colorful and true. The Flos mourned with the Drakti, but more than that they began to feel the strength and defiance of the tribe...<br>
<br>
The Jade medallions, cut into whorls and tongues of flame -- were passed among the warriors and donned in lesser decoration by the whole of the tribe. The jade gave the tribe a greater personality -- a greater pride -- a greater culture. (+1 permanent morale) -- Wearing these trappings they felt less naked, and feeling less naked they felt less afraid. Symbols of fire and the effigy of drakkosh itself donned the very necks and arms and weapons of the tribe. It was a new day, Drakkosh was in the heart, but it was also in the eye of one's brother.<br>
<br>
Maaravi is changed by his all night vigil at the edge of the fire -- he gains 2 1d100 Epiphanies to be determined in the adventure channel. (TBD)<br>

The fire was not mighty, nor did it need to be, it seemed. There was not a sign of the demons at all but for an occasional howl in the distance, a baying at the moon. This stood to reason with the Tyrien farthest away from all the other tribes... perhaps this... somewhat paradoxically afforded some level of protection... that the demons followed the "Herd" and not an outlier? Liviander did not speculate on this for long.<br>
<br>
The Flos were not swift kin to the Tyrien, the Flos being a sky and river people and the Tyrien more attuned to the land and forest. The Flos appreciated and adopted the Totem animal of the Tyrien quickly however, as the Triceratops was a mighty symbol. It would be some time before the Flos could truly be considered Tyrien, but their education was proceeding on the new ways, and the Flos shared ways of their own -- particularly the reading of portents in the sky (Tyrien gain perk "Prophesy" allowing one reroll per adventure) -- the Flos also shared the secrets of Sulfer and the poppy plant (+1 permanent morale) both of which gave rich trance inducing smoke and treated pain or cleansed wounds with fire.<br>
<br>
The short sticks combined with sloth claws made excellent gathering canes, fishing tools, and instruments for hunting. They were indeed useful devices and the tribe celebrated the spirit of the sloth for bequeathing their spirit to the richness of the Tyrien people. (Bonus FOOD and WOOD gathered when using hooks!)<br>
<br>
The sloth was huge and had thick fur... enough for the entire group to have at least some for warmth, and ornamentation. (+1 morale permanent) -- the Tyrien would hunt for furs in the future no matter how small the animal and passively gather it as a commodity for clothes and blankets (Furs tradable commodity by Tyrien) The furs promised to keep them ever warmer in the colder part of the year and also promised sufficient warmth, though not necessarily safety, from a smaller fire.</div>

The great fire of the Arlan once more spread over the beaches of the lakeside camp. The demons did not come close... but they knew they were there -- the morning would show the clay-flats to the west and south covered in their tracks, and even some of their tracks on the dark corners of the beach and behind dunes near the camp. The Arlan scouts and firetenders kept their eyes out so the rest of the tribe could greet and adopt the Flos in true sincerity and verve -- the words of the Arlan stories, the dance of Alle and the spinning dances of water until many fell dizzy... the Flos felt at home with the Arlan, conveying their power of prophesy to the Clan. (Arlan gain PERK: Prophesy) <br>
<br>
After the great dance of the beautiful lobster, Anaya herself told the story of the Bear Loa Bullrathi, of diplomacy, friendship, and lack of fear when one could be embracing a friend. A great bull skull was hoist on a long cane with a banner of tattered leaves to symbolize the peace of Loas, and hopefully the peace of tribes. (Arlan gain "Herald Banner" giving bonus to diplomacy and a chance to speak or appeal to peaceful natures before combat.) The Striking lobster was eaten at the height of the ritual and it's colorful shell was made to into a beautiful crown for Anaya to wear with chips of the creature made into diadems (headpieces) for the elders to mark their association with Anaya's symbol of leadership. More dancing, waving of the banner, collapsing, laughing, embracing... and a fertility ritual commenced to the beating of the tides on the shores...  <br>
<br>
...The elders said this crown was a symbol that Anaya and her bloodline was to lead the tribe forever or until the fates decreed otherwise. This provided (+1 morale, Permanent) and a potential culture bonus! (Arlan gain perk: Right to Rule)<br>
<br>
A great deal of labor was put into turning wood into some form of defense. It cost THREE UNITS OF WOOD (any Negative wood is owed!) with all of the redesigns and mishaps shaping the wood but before the night was over The tribe could choose between small shields for all the tribe or great barrier shields, wielded only by the strongest of the tribe. The great shields would aid champions in battle and provide cover from missile attacks, while the small shields would confer a small defense bonus to all units of Arlan. Also it was found that the wood plates could be used as flotation on the river and even as a means to skirt the waves in a form of play... The Arlan discover surfing. (+1 morale permanent) as such play on the river and lake became quickly popular gingerly by night but with great gusto the following morning. The Myrdrall did not stalk the waters, so to play on the waters was to be safe -- at least that was what was thought. Alle gave no alarm... so the tribe considered themselves blessed with peace.</div>

<br>
The fire of the Yamna was the smallest this night -- and the demons were on the hunt. Where great fires and high activity gave the demons pause when confronted with a camp -- the Myrdrall did not encounter any of this at the camp of the Yamna. <br>
<br>
The weak fire dared the myrdrall to approach...<br>
<br>
...And approach they did.<br>
<br>
The majority of the tribe at rest tempted the myrdrall to attack...<br>
<br>
...And attack they did.<br>
<br>
The watch was dead before they could raise an alarm... the last of them looking down at the blood pouring from his throat as a one-handed myrdrall pulled his lungs, one by one, through his back in some disgusting parody of the wings of an angel. Half of the tribe was killed mercifully before they could even awake, but the rest had a far worse fate in store. In the hours before dawn, shrieking of bones, crushed one by one, broke the silence of the night. <br>
<br>
The Myrdrall took delight and pleasure in feasting on this tribe, or reminding who owned the night and what it's gifts truly were -- pain, misery, and death. <br>
<br>
No, night was not for rest or the calm watching of birds and beasts. <br>
<br>
Night was for the Demons, and what they may take.<br>
<br>
<b>(ALL TRIBES LOSE ONE MORALE, PERMANENT!) </b><br>
<br>
the story of the Yamna would become a cautionary tale and a tale of fear throughout the valley. DAY was for the gathering of resources, NIGHT was for the application and spending of them. It was not time yet for man to slumber beneath the stars, nor were the demons something to dismiss with a swift warning. The Yamna were eaten, and the Yamna were tortured, and the Yamna were never seen nor heard from again...<br>
<br>
What WAS found were all of the right hands of the Yamna -- like one demon hand taken by the Drakti <a href="/members/general-deth-glitch.17501/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="17501" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId56">

 -- the Demons took a tribe of hands in recompense. They were crushed into the husks of plants and pinned to the trees of the Yamna-camp glade with bloody talons pulled from the hands of the demons themselves to serve as nails. Thus reminded who were the hunters and the hunted... and how the demons would speak to their prey...<br>

The sun rises on the valley and the tribes turn their faces to the sun. It has been a long night, but the sun has pulled itself up. Not all tribes have come this far. The cold nights, the Myrdrall, the work that is simply what must be done to subsist. <br>
<br>
But the tribes have come this far -- and they may yet go the distance. (+1 temp morale until further notice for all tribes)<br>
<br>
More to come!</div>

The luna stood proud over their new place -- in the shadow of the Yamna camp. Meant to be a place of terror -- the Luna defied the Myrdrall here and made the area so near to the massacre their new settlement, at least for now. Leaving the Cenote, they gave their rich offerings of food to the Cletepoc, who manifested as a swarm of butterflies to eat the food and flew back into the cenote ostensibly to allow the Loa time to digest this offering.<br>
<br>
The Luna searched the Yamna camp, and found two bolts of spidersilk that the tribe had hidden away, and the bear-tooth talisman that had come from the bullrathi. FOUR WOOD was salvaged from the debris of their stores, but nothing else was left. The Luna gathered the talons of the Myrdrall and saw they could be made into weapons -- DECISION POINT: Make 2 units of Myrdrall-talon javelins, or add the myrdrall teeth to their weapons to increase their effectiveness. The inside rim of each talon was filled with jagged serrations, so they knew such wounds with these weapons would be hard to treat, and deal telling blows. It was simply a question of how to utilize them.<br>
<br>
With Bronze tools they cut away the concealing foliage and with baskets gathered all of value.. in the creek that separated the river from the lake, they found ONE UNIT OF STONE and ONE UNIT OF GOLD... it also became apparent that panning for gold at this focal point (and perhaps in the lake at the mouth of the river) could be an especially good place to look for gold. (+1 bonus to searching for gold gained by tribe)<br>
<br>
The Shrine was built over the grave of the Yamna. Pearls arranged in small constellations would catch sunlight, moonlight and firelight. The Crescent Blade was held before the completed wood structure, and the magic of the crescent revealed itself, compressing the entirety of the shrine into one near-unbreakable piece. (Crescent gains "Constructive Compression" Power)<br>
With rings and spirals of blood decorated on the area over the carnage and consumed in offering, any curse on this area would be lifted.<br>
<br>
With their new tools and blood to keep their energy high, they cut a vicious swath of young trees down and harvested TEN WOOD. This both improved sight lines around the camp (that the Yamna probably wished they had) and brought in a bounty of good wood to the tribe. They uncovered one unit of Sap-filled wood and one unit of ancient golden wood buried under the remains of the infant wood they destroyed -- it seemed all the new growth seemed to rise from these more ancient woods...<br>
<br>
The Geodes were DIFFICULT to break, even with the strange advanced tools they were given, and one unit of tribals was exhausted (must rest the night) for their production with them... but it yielded a considerable supply of purple, orange, and white CRYSTALS and GLITTERDUST that the tribe now had access to. The Flos decorated their star-tatoos with both, and the ornamentation uplifted the tribe to a new level of sophistication as necklaces, bracers, and even the odd protective garment woven with crystals began to be made. (1 Unit of crystal armor) -- new CRYSTAL resource raises Clan morale by +1 permanently.)<br>
<br>
OF THE NATURE SPARK... nothing was found...</div>

One egg shook. Then another. One bounced against another and it rattled as if to reply. Bullsworth and Raptora wrapped their tails around the eggs to keep them extra warm, and soon the Raptorlings were born. Nine altogether, they were incredibly small (the size of a chicken, at largest) but COMPLETELY rapacious... as hungry as hungry could be defined. The speed and health of these creatures would be very much do to the amount of food that could be Devoted to them for the next 4 (in game) days. They would see investment in the new brood flounder or fly on the basis of what they could spare. The elders gave the babies little saddles to begin their training, and the biggest of the hatchlings -- which has a particularly square head and armored ridges on it's back and skull, was already pulling tiny loads on the end of a line of fiber. From birth they would be taught to be members of the tribe -- but their lessons would MUST include that the tribe feeds it's own, and feeds them well.<br>
<br>
Time spent gathering poppies paid off -- and the tribe gained an effectively limitless supply with how skilled they became at gathering the plants and sprinkling some of their seeds around as they travelled to ensure that more wild plants would always be available. If the Raptors do not already have a Permanent +1 morale from Poppies, they gain one now.<br>
<br>
With Obsidian tools, the Raptors gained EIGHT DARKWOOD -- and learned more about it. Burned dry, it produced no smoke at all, but when burned wet it produced large amounts of choking but fragrant smoke. How the tribe might utilize this was not clear -- but the elders took their poppies and contemplated it.<br>
<br>
The hunting group came back with baskets of succulent green spiders, a baby hippo, and some elk Totaling SIX UNITS of Food. This would feed the tribe, but there would likely need to be more and greater hunts to feed the hatchlings and improve stores.<br>
<br>
Lastly, the tribe learned to gather sulfur and could effectively find it wherever they needed in reasonable amounts. Introduced to the fires, they would "FLARE" away lurking myrdrall during the night at random intervals, increasing safety in the camp... for now at least.</div>

The Hunt of the Tyrien was highly successful. Their totem animal foraged to the east in the direction the tribe explored and they found a badly wounded mammoth resting in the Pampas grass and descended upon it quickly and efficiently, bringing EIGHT FOOD into the tribe's stores. <br>
<br>
Collecting wood however was not easy, and too late in the day it was decided to fell new wood to make up for the shortcomings... only THREE UNITS OF WOOD were gathered, despite the significant work crew. Application of tools and baskets (<i>stated in orders) </i>would likely increase yields, if they were available.<br>
<br>
The gathering of stone was likewise slow-going, but a thoughly cracked boulder was found in the densely wooded area near the camp and ONE UNIT OF STONE was ultimately gathered.<br>
<br>
Plant fibers, be they vines, cane, wicker grasses and the like were found aplenty in the wooded area the Tyrien had been growing accustomed to. The tribe became skilled in gathering these materials, Access to plant fibers can be considered infinite/renewable for the tribe, and they can be used to make (more?) tools and baskets as needed, as well as enable the creation of clothing and simple adornment.<br>
<br>
Exploring east, the tribe discovered an alley of deep pampas grass making a corridor in the woods... they observed the hunters of the bonetakers, and signs of their passing -- and discovered various "burial grounds" of bones in the deep grass where apparently a lot of animals were hunted or had gone to die. The greatest discovery was a deep pit filled with the ribs and tusks or many mammoths... giving the Tribe Access to a rich supply of IVORY, if they choose to exploit it.</div>

<br>
The Arlan carried their baskets of fish to the loa's wood -- laying them around an unnatural looking crevice in the ground in the center of a glade. The earth ground up the baskets of food one after the other, like a vast chewing maw in the dirt, filling the area with the smell of fish and fertilizer... Then the Trees shook as one, dropping EIGHT UNITS OF WOOD in the form of mounds and near walls of sticks and dry branches, new growth quickly taking their place. As the Arlan filled their baskets and prepared to leave... the crack in the earth gurgled a request. "The bounties of the water are delicious and pure -- like the Arlan -- You will find a water Loa and encourage them to take residence in my glade and we shall unite in partnership... My lonliness must end -- the Arlan's pleasant disruption of my silence tells me this. Do this for me and we will make a sacred lake for the Arlan, where land embraces the water in my tranquil glade... there you may freely gather your wood, and your fish, in one place. I am your Loa, heed my words...<br>
<br>
A great number of Arlan tribesmen stood at the shore and performed the dances of fisher's bounty -- casting their fibrous nets in elegant and wild seeming patterns. Alle herded schools of fish into the vast area the Arlan had laid for capture And the spear-fishers pinned down and drew the nets closed bringing VAST amounts of food into the tribes stores... TWENTY UNITS OF FOOD were gathered, A massive sum that left the Arlan wondering if they must find some rapid way to preserve this food before it spoiled, to trade such a massive surplus, or to use it to grow the tribe further. With such an orgy of hunting fish achieved, there was little surprise that a Loa appeared at the height of their gathering abundance -- a great watery fish -- it's scales seemly made of reflected light and eyes of ice looked to the Arlan and spoke:<br>
<br>
"You do not only hunt these waters -- you PLUNDER them. There must be a price paid for what you have taken so freely, the lake is abundant, but will not be if you plunder as you do -- unless you make some way to give back and achieve balance with the land. Answer this Loa and appease me, or your rituals may fail in the days to come."<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Arlan training was relentless and devoted with their new shields and with all variety of weapons. Many ideas for strategies were born, the Arlan had to focus on a particular shield doctrine that they would officially use as their combat style. <br>
<br>
DECISION POINT: (Choose one Option)<br>
<br>
"The Spitting Hedge" -- This doctrine is most effective with multiple units (3-4 or more) where the outside units hold up a surrounding wall of shields while everyone inside the shield wall throws rocks, slings, and javelins keeping distance with enemies to maximize casualties until two-handed weapons are adopted to strike over the shields when the unit is engaged in melee. Very promising doctrine, but useless with small numbers of troops.<br>
<br>
"The Press" -- Oversized shields become characteristic of half Arlan troops, each shield bearer is accompanied by a fast, light-armored trooper who uses the cover of the large shield partner. When not directly shielding the pair, the larger great-shield bearer carries their ally on their shield as a head or shoulder platform allowing commanding missile attacks from height. Works with as little as two tribesmen, scales very well in larger units.<br>
<br>
"The Ramp" -- Every unit has a shield that either moves in formation with some covering the front and some covering above in a kind of "turtle" formation... in close combat the front of the unit locks in place and the shields from the back ranks are used as ramps to run and leap over the front ranks and into the heart of the enemy. May cause fear. Risky.<br>
<br>
Finally, the tribe moved... and none too soon, it would seem... the myrdrall had left beyond apparent distance skull-laden totems in a circle around the camp of the Arlan... proving that they were going to be, and still might be, the next selected prey of the Myrdrall....</div>

<br>
The Bonetakers took to the new day and set about their tasks... working beside their dead allies, much would be learned.<br>
<br>
Firstly, The Skeletons -- the necromancy to keep them aloft, radiated an aura that repelled animals -- kept the vermin out of stores and from discomforting the tribe (creatures like mosquitos and rats avoid Bonetakers and their camps like the plague... in turn making for happier and healthier tribe. MORALE GOES UP BY +1 PERMANENTLY FROM THIS COMFORT. <br>
<br>
The bad news that came was this was that skeletons COULD NOT be used for hunting as they scared game with their far-radiating presence. They could however, be counted on to gather fruits, nuts, Berries and edible grasses/grains tirelessly given close supervision. Hunts with the skeletons failed completely, but Static gathered food sources yielded a GREAT harvest... TEN FOOD was gained in non-meats. The bonetakers were saddened that their meals did not come with the bones they needed for their decoration, rituals, and magic -- but they saw that food could potentially be gathered in great amounts with the tireless and fearless and near-mechanical work of the skeletons.<br>
<br>
The skeletons were FABULOUS at collecting clay, digging large clumps of the stuff and sticking it inside their ribcages to carry even when their baskets were full. FIVE UNITS OF CLAY were Gathered, with the bonetakers wondering if gathering static resources with skeletons would always be so gainful or if it was the luck and newness of the enchantments that delivered such great yields. The Bonetakers would have their clay, and with it, food preservation, and a means of preserving their stories and traditions.<br>
<br>
The Flos gathered an effectively unlimited amount of poppies -- and taught the rest of the tribe how to gather them as well... if the Bonetakers do not already have a morale bonus from poppies, they gain a permanent +1 now. Fortunately, their clubs were un-needed except to beat the grass to startle snakes away and take down a particularly adventurous and territorial boar. (PLUS 4 UNITS OF FOOD)<br>
<br>
Then they learned a limitation of the skeletons -- they did not feel pain, nor understood the principles of weight relative to their frame... they were wholly inappropriate for gathering stone as they repeatedly shattered themselves dropping heavy loads or broke their arms trying to prize stones too large for even a muscled human to carry. If skeletons were to gather stone it would have to be small stones only, and therefore with large numbers of skeletons for the project to be substantial. before the elders could bring a stop to it, the entire unit of skeletons assigned to the task of gathering stone had broken itself to pieces, and their spirits, without a frame to cling to, were lost to the ether. (One unit of skeletons lost) That said, their sacrafice gained a high yield of stone, and the superior number of bone takers working the project GAINED THREE UNITS OF STONE. (minus one unit of skeletons)<br>
<br>
Attak returned to the tribe and spoke of the loa and the odd arrangement they had struck with the dwarf. The elders consulted each other (and the poppy) for guidance. A dwarf willingly surrendering his head? Some trickery had to be afoot...</div>

One Unit W/Maaravi search west W/Armour and Swords and Spears<br>
<br>
Wood was Light. Wood was Life.<br>
<br>
And Gather wood the Drakti did. Fallen wood along the river, strong wood of the deep forest they occupied, dead wood and branch wood that could be pulled free. Fire not only held off the Myrdrall, but it shed the light and warmth of Drakkosh, and she would not be denied. With faith and fury, ELEVEN units of wood were gathered around the new camp and along the river, less so by the floss to the east, as they crossed paths with other moving tribes that disrupted their work... still, it was a find yield.<br>
<br>
Maararvi and his tribespeople moved west to investigate the strange barrens to the west. No plants grew, no animals scurried -- and a cloud of dust thickened the closer to the middle of the region one approached. But Maararvi was not afraid, and nor was fear in the hearts of his people. They found a RUIN -- something that looked like an ancient human settlement -- humans clearly from long ago who evidently did not fear the myrdrall... but time if not the nightmares had taken them. The chieftain looked among the buildings and found ONE UNIT OF GOLD in various bangles and ornaments left around in the footprints of the houses. When they came to leave... they found their path was partially blocked by a small unit of men made of wood and metal who spoke a strange language -- the babbling of dwarfs perhaps? Then in seeing the Drakti did not understand, a click sounded in the heads of the artificial men in unison, and they spoke a very old dialect of trade talk, which only Maaravi could make any sense of -- though it still sounded like nonsense.<br>
<br>
"Ruled by Queens but Never by Kings. What is Protocol?" The tallest of the artificial men questioned. Was it a riddle? A word salad of a magical construct that spent too much time under the curse of years? Maaravi was given pause at possible meaning as the artificial wood and iron men seemed to await an answer.<br>
<br>
It was clear the constructs would let them go, but they constantly faced the people as if waiting for an answer... Drakkosh knows whatever that might be....</div>

<br>
The Ratkin had their orders... and today, for the first time since times remembered, the rats and mice went out with the ratkin on the hunt! Numerous times the rats in the grass drew delicious birds perfect for roasting down to the ground or in the air at spear-range... and the rats sifted through the grasses to find eggs and nuts in the bush... some the rats ate on the spot, and some they brought back on the backs of the swarm to be given to the tribe. Such rats with offerings were pet and stuffed in pouches of the ratkin to strengthen further the bonds that seemed to be growing between the animals and humans in the tribe. The rats showed their intelligence... and in time they began to be used as scouts to find game. EIGHT UNITS of FOOD (mostly boars and shoats the rats surrounded and riled into the way of the tribe) were harvested. <br>
<br>
The rats were less helpful in gathering wood, with only THREE UNITS OF WOOD being harvested, despite the number of people assigned to the task. A great tree, thought to be dead, was set upon as an easy target for a high yield... until the TREANT awoke to see it being chopped upon, Kicked at the ratkin (luckily striking none with it's deadly limbs and roots) before running deeper into the wood. It seemed the offense against the treant cast a pall over the endeavor. what little wood was found, only half of it was good.<br>
<br>
Scouting yielded it's own discoveries... To the east, strange pits of QUICKSAND were found, that seemed to trap animals and fill with carrion... in suspiciously dry-looking areas of the clay-flats. The ratkins quickly identified these dangers and would know to avoid them in the future. (Ratkin can use quicksand strategically operating in clay-flat squares)<br>
<br>
Besides this, The scouts caught up with the Treant, planting itself in front of a cave hidden deep in the forest, yellow shiny rocks glittering within. Sap like blood dripped from the leg of the treant by the inflicted wounds of the ratkin, and the scouts were slow to approach or engage the treant without speaking to the chieftain.<br>
<br>
Lastly, in the scouting -- rats found the skeleton of a dwarf in the deep woods... ancient and mouldering half buried by the ravages of time. Everything on the dwarf but the bones was weathered away, except for a single belt loop and apparently a rectangular ingot or weight of some kind made of a metal that apparently did not wear away from the elements. (ANCIENT DWARF INGOT can be added to tribe inventory)<br>
<br>
Back at the warrens, the rat swarms seemed to be having a fertility ritual of their own, and the ratkin did their best not to disturb them, busy as they were everywhere... both man and rat. <img src="https://www.rpnation.com/media/emoticon5-heart.23727/full?d=1488657999" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt="<3" title="heart    <3" data-shortname="<3"></div>
