Okay, no holes on the hull of this thread? Good.
Reposting the rules:
1) tribes can start at the red marked areas (labeled A to P), but there are restrictions depending on which species or ethnicity your tribe is composed of (will be detailed further).
2) You can take any tribe and decide things for them. Roll a d20 for success. This includes expanding territory, developing technologies, diplomacy, attacks, etc.
3) As usual, you may edit the creature's pic if you like - with a caveat this time: major edits are for equipment/clothing or buildings (see further explanations) primarily, while further evolutions are very minor (such as subtle coloration change, elongation of manipulative digits etc).
4) I'll be here to arbitrate things and give the final say on things.

To start a tribe, pick a species, a starting point, a symbol, and a name for your tribe.

rolled 1 = 1

As flocks of the TentaFlouz become larger they begin to spread around the central currents drifting along trade winds and scattering. To the north of the hot deserts where they evolved some of the TentaFlouz become stranded in the Frilla forests of the north.

While initially the toxic trees killed many TentaFlouz there were some who grew immune, and even thrived on the entirely new gas in their systems. They became able to capture the toxic gasses and also mix them with their fire bomb gasses. (Starting point E)

These TentaFlouz named themselves Ry'lai. At night they began to settle into the tree tops to allow their bodies time to capture more poison gasses and to commune with each other. The light shows (I think everyone forgot that they still light up) of the Frilla becoming a sort of ancestral memory show for the Ry'lai.

Picture shows some poison gasses leaking from the firebombing arms of the Ry'lai.

Die rolling in this thread for the poison adaptations for the TentaFlouz in my tribe.

will you take the effects of the rolls made in the bugged thread into account?

>>18866065
And so it was. The Ry'lai died before they began...

Meanwhile, non-sentient creatures may be evolved like in the previous evo games.

Allright, feedback for the first four races:
Hitangan Gorrirog find abundant metal ores in the rocks they use for shelter. But, they do not know its properties yet, they just think it's another kind of rock.
Zu-Nul Suzumou finds a receptive sandworm reply southeast of the nearest oasis, and they depart for the worm. The timing's right as well; the Hitangan set up camp where they were previously.
Ry'lai Tentouz adapted to the Frilla trees' poison, but this resulted in their spit-bombs becoming unpredictable; It has a small chance of malfunctioning.
Hu-Raan Koburrog found some evola and land flatworems... also the fact that there's land slizers to the forest north of them.

>>18866065

Hitangan Gorrirogs push into the mountains to avoid predation by sand / land worms. They take rocky areas as a preference because they are able to find the minerals they desire.

But are they able to figure out what it is about the rocks that is so special? rolling to find out

Here's the size comparison to make building pictures with.

>>18866162
Nope, Hitangans still can't figure out what metal is. They just know it as 'that shiny rock which can be good for practical jokes by channeling some electricity onto it'.

How are the Suzumou nomadic? I thought the god-worms they lived in were immobile.

GO FORTH AND PROSPER!

rolled 14 = 14

Hitangan hut size included. most huts are for individuals unless caves are available.

Rolling for better understanding of building shelters using carapaces from the various dangerous species on land

>>18866311
They only turned immobile when they get big enough. So, initially, Suzumou follows their god until it stops moving, set up camp for however long it takes until the worm dies, and then move to find another receptive worm.
That's what I think happens.

>>18866328
also, did you notice the name?
Hitam + Tangan = Hitangan
gtg for awhile, want too see how other people go about tribaling

>>18866346
Fair enough, makes sense to me.
Well, I'm at work again (3rd shift ftw), and have no tablet, but with tribes I think I can contribute. I'll spend tomorrow night sketching my ideas.

>>18866346
Hey, are my plant people still around?
If so, what are they called?

>>18866346

That is pretty much it.
Though they don't follow just any random worms, just the ones that are nearing godhood, the old ones.
They respect the younger worms, but do not follow them, as they can't yet host the suzumou.

Note that the ancient godworms may host generations of the suzumou, as they can live for many hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years, as long as the suzumou can supply them with food.
The suzumou may be nomadic for some periods, but when they settle within the worm, they can stay put for hundreds of years.

>>18866409
They are, they're just on another continent. In this world, there are 3-4 separate continents. The one we're on now is the middle one, predominantly covered in a desert. We're slowly populating all of the continents over time methinks so no worries. Grab a hold of one of the current species and give them for a spin. (:

>>18866420
The sand worms have been my favorite throughout this whole phase of development! Love what's happened to them.

rolled 6 = 6

As the Suzumou migrate, they start cataloging the flora and fauna they see in their oral religious traditions. They take note of migration patterns and medicinal properties, holding the tides of life to be sacred.

The god-worms condone this practice, storing as much knowledge as possible in their expansive memories.

rolled 15 = 15

The Zu-Nul prepare to approach the worm. They make the proper rituals of hunting, as they fly out to capture a suitable tribute to the great worm, so thatit might allow the suzumou to settle within it.

Rolling for hunting.

>>18866465

Are you going to roll a suzumou tribe too?
Sweet!
No one else but me has jet played tribal creatures that I created.

>>18866465
Get a tribal marking and a starting area. It'll make things easier on IG/NG

Also woo more people :D

The M'wa Dyp Suzumou of spawn-point I enter reality!

rolled 4 = 4

>>18866409
Yeah, they're still around.

Even with the slizers in the forest to the north, the Hu-raan find this place more hospitable than where they began their journey. A shooting star for them marks good fortune to come. Here, they will stay.

Rolling for building shelter.

rolled 13, 16, 5, 7 = 41

Though many species found the cold north inhospitable, the hardy Lem found that they not only resisted the freezing temperatures, they thrived in them, and some of the more enterprising Lem banded together into a tribe. This tribe (at point A) called themselves the Zahrewi tribe, and were distrustful of outsiders as their fledgling settlement gained a foothold.

Organized in a relatively fluid caste system, the ranks of the Lem are, in descending order: Warden, Shaman, Beast-stalker, Maker, Gatherer, Farmer, Serf.

Warden Diogellu decrees that the beast-stalkers patrol the surrounding wastes for game and possible invaders. He also instructs them to look for animals with more than four legs which look able to support our weight and for any strange rocks that don't match the others. Meanwhile he also instructs the makers to devise some sort of wall system.

Rolls are for hunting/patrols, locating ride-able animals, strange rocks, and wall system.

>>18866328
Hohoho, nice! Both the name and the roll.
Anyways, the Hitangan found the remains of the Zu-Nul's former abode, a gigantic sandworm the size of two 747s. They saw the carapace... and got hit by inspiration. They can use these!

>>18866465
>>18866474
Zu-Nul manages to bring down an Ambush Usmal, which is a pretty formidable feat for them. The new worm likes it!

>>18866409
Yeah, Mevolans are around, but they're on the Western continent. Look here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Primordial
There's two tribes of them so far.

One should note that the suzumou still have a powerfull poisonous stingers.They hunt by injecting their prey with paralyzing venom.
>>18865972
>>18866273

I don't know if it should be listed as an special ability or not.

>>18866409
Also, I wanted to post this for you

>>18866537
No shelter for me it seems.

In spawning point B, a group of particularly resourceful Lem has proven themselves capable hunters. Many seek security and stability under these alpha examples. Soon a tribe has formed, calling themselves the Zorastria.

Hey IG how do the Ry'lai that make their home in the northern frilla forests fare? Kind of need to know to see where I can go with them.

>>18866600

rolled 19 = 19

>>18866559

The Zu-Nul approach the godworm.
They begin the ritual of greeting the worm.
They start "dancing" on the sand, causing rythmic vibrations, while the eldest of them "speaks".

"Blessed Hazuvaat, the great god of the sand! We bring you a tribute of hunt, so you might judge us worthy of serving you! Will you allow us to reside within your divine flesh, in exhange of our obidience?"

Rolling for succesfull ritual.

The M'wa Dyp have a stylized worm as their symbol against the beautiful dust brown of Mother Desert.

rolled 16, 17 = 33

>>18866600
More mouths to feed means more or bigger prey. The hunter caste has grown to suit the demand, but there are there enough prey in the tundra to feed that many mouths? The Zorastria decide to send out scouts to see if this harsh land will provide. At the same time, they search the south of the island for resources.

rolled 9 = 9

While hunting, an unacceptable number of M'wa Dyp are wounded or killed. This is lamentable, but unavoidable, and so continues.

Until one Worm-Born notices that some creatures are following their tribe, feeding off of their leavings. He has an idea. After consulting with the God-Worm, he commences attempts to coax them closer...

Rolling for domestication.

The Pusmal tribe of Zarethedir shall claim point I (i) as its starting location. From there the great empire will rise. But for now i got to go. i'll continue later.

>>18866815
Hello Deus. I fear what your plusmal will become under your guidance...

Is it ok to go to sleep with a thread like this active?

>>18866857
Don't worry, I'm on another timezone so i can scour the thread and dispense replies. I'm finishing up on work (posting this from office), so as soon as I'm done I'll post updates, and the newest map.

>>18866843
Plusmal are mainly underground, while the Suzumou live in worms (that can go either above/below ground). Perhaps murder and death won't be necessary for you two...but I hope it is.

>>18866857
If things really are how I noticed them, expect a burst of activity somewhere somewhere in the next few hours. Just about 2 am here.

>>18866875
Nad is from a different timezone as well. Finland I think he said.

CA here. These threads go berserker mode while I sleep. At least during tribal hours. I think NG tends to have the other 1/2 of the day.

Evo threads tend to go all day, due to not needing results narrated.

>>18866914
Correct. Currently monitoring the thread, and occasionally posting when the opportunity arises, while working.
It is 10 am here.

Clarification
----------------------------
for people worrying about their tribes from the last super awesome tribal thread. this entire world is on a time line, and its all happening at once, so right now your tribes are just starting everything it is that you did in the last thread.
-------------------------------------------------
To my lem brothers. it makes me happy, so happy that you have chosen the lem as your race. Let me give you a run down on them. They dont sleep, so they can do something all the time. They dont mate, but they can exchange genetic material between a pair or more right before they divide. Lem divide, just like a giant amoeba. Lem are berserkers and do that quite well. they dont die of old age, they just divide, and the genetic memory of the original is passed on to the two identical twins, over time they develop new experiences and become their own individuals. Lem can share genetic memory by voluntary exchange, or consuming other dead lem. Lem dont get sick, or poisioned very easily, the can purge their internal contents (Cytoplasm) by vomiting untill its all out of them, this leaves them withered and diminished for a while. They dont feel like any other species on the planet, pain has no meaning to them, but they will never appreciate the beauty of feeling the wind and sand, or the taste of good meat....no, the only sensations they know are the pressure of their claws and teeth as they break flesh, of euphoria in combat. they cannot ever be telepathic, or anything complicated by that. They have their own host of issues, but its up to you to give the lem identity.
-------
finally, i leave you with the most recent lem template. The Ta'Mirel will be waiting for you in a few hundred years (in game time)

>>18866555
Little bit more background, I guess, for bumping purposes.

The Zahrewi believe that in ages past, during the First Freeze, the entire world was covered with ice. Under thick glaciers, the land slumbered, forced into hibernation by the intense cold. Then, one day, the land stirred in its sleep, and cracked the thick layer of ice, allowing sunlight to seep down to the earth. This awoke the earth, and with a great rumbling crash the ice fell away and melted, forming the great seas. Life sprang forth from the awoken plains, but only the Lem remembered in their deepest dreams the Frozen Time, and they watch and wait for the Second Freeze to claim the land at the end of times.

I realized that, in my haste, I added Serf and Farmer to the list of professions when society and tech levels haven't advanced sufficiently to allow either. My apologies.

rolled 16 = 16

The Hitangan Gorrirogs start to make larger settlements, huts made of the carapaces of Worms, Houyi, various donii ect. Gorrirog carapaces are gathered and used in respect to their comrades past, and eventually households develop for each set of Alphas and their subordinates.

Rolling for the development of rudimentary sewing. All those carapace bits have to fit together somehow!

rolled 3, 17, 17 = 37

Regardless of whether or not the Ry'lai can colonize the frilla trees properly I'm going to make a move before I get off for the night.

As the Ry'lai begin to settle into their new home they collectively decide to send some scouts up to see what is around.

They also send some of their group out to gather food. Plant matter, or burned animals are both ok in their diets.

If the Ry'lai manage to withstand the poison they'll begin to take nest in the Frilla trees watching the bio luminescent trees as the sun sets. The trees do not know the Tentouz's language but the Ry'lai can interpret their own things from the trees lights.

Rolling for scouting, foraging, and communing with trees.

I'll do some drawing in the morning. Hopefully my rolls of 8, 3, 17, 17 serve me well in my rest.

A new tribe of Koburrog emerges! The Fire mane. They claim point H as theirs, and dream of conquest of all the lesser races. They are a genetic throwback to a much harrier Koburrog. Hence the Mane. They live in the volcanic glass fields and believe in the fire spirits that gave them life. During the eruption that scarred the desert they were spat out of the lavaflow as burning embers. The world was too big, but the lava's embers could burn far from it, carried by the wind.

tl/dr...gonna burn shit. Burn your shit down, because its what their spirits told them to do.

I assume that dat 19 rrsults in great success, so I'll make some updates based on it.
After settling down, Zu-Nul begin to lay their eggs within the flesh pouches of the worm. They also send scouts to chart their surroundings, along with hunters who seek to get more food to be sacrificed to the worm.

The tribe is currently without a proper leader. There are no wormborn seers to guide the Zu-Nul. Instead, they are being led by the eldest sisters. The tribe prepares to conduct the ritual of the seer, in hopes that a wormseer emerges from the divine flesh of the Hazuvaat.

Rolling for egg laying, scouting, hunting and the ritual.

Boop! I have returned with new map!

>>18866612
They're doing fine. Pop in some input, and they can be advanced.

>>18866632
The ritual was a success. Their Hazuvaat rumbles, and opens its carapace-flaps to let the Zu-Nul in while it eats the offering.

>>18866555
Zahrewi Lem found primitive land Usmals, which is good game, and noted the distant purple masses to the south are a Frilla forest. As for rideable animals, they found four-legged herbivorous Sandonis. No strange rocks found. Crude wall made from available normal stones.

>>18866537
Hu-raan only managed to find few shed Frilla bark. At least they make good blankets.

>>18866713
Zorastrians find Ramel and Fluz aplenty, as well as tundra Mevola, which has good root. To the south, the sea is teeming with Flatworems and inflatable Sluck-fishes.

>>18866747
They manage to make some of the creature come closer, some of them are Blade Sandonis. Although, they quickly retreat when the M'wa Dyp tries to reach them.

Also here's a modified image. The orange in the front is a transparent crest, and is larger on individuals who need more protection as guards of the colony.

The hapless Worm-Born continues his efforts, secure in the knowledge that his work pleases the God Worm (whose name, incidentally, is Jibra'il).

In the process of preparing the local flora for consumption or sacrifice to Jibra'il, the M'wa Dyp take note of the medicinal properties of each plant, seeing them as holy expressions of the God Worms power and incorporating them into their oral religious traditions.

I only lurked a few evo threads, and started posting in the alst thread where i named and then decided to develop the gorrirogs

Ry'lai scouting expedition temporarily canceled due to hunger, they found that Frilla trees produce fruits. There are also small land flatworem variants in the underbrushes. A Ry'lai saw patterns in these light displays, and he is beset by ideas, perhaps of a new word or language, even.

>>18867675
Fire Manes try to pick a fight with the Gorrirogs. They trekked quickly across the desert, reached the Hitangan village... and was seen by a hunter returning with a Tankdoni kill. Panicking, the Fire Mane infiltrators straight up nabbed the hunter's kill, and forgot about their plan to set things on fire. Miraculously, they returned back to their place unscathed.

Zu-Nul has laid many eggs, and hunted enough food for their Hazuvaat and their tribe. Their scouts only saw the remains of their former Hazuvaat, the nearby oasis, and the vast desert.

When the water seeking was over the foremen saw another problem to be solved. Subterranean threats are constant and when the great worm comes the Pusmal walls can only slow it down. This gives the pusmal time to either run away or prepare for combat. Ether way the cost is too great so the sollution is to streingthen the walls some way to resist invaders.

Also with the new water source the Zarethedir need a some way to transport the water from great distances in order to make it so that everywhere in this pusmal empire is water where it is needed.

The walls of Zarethedir nest were streingthened as well as the Pusmals could. The finished work was better than expected as the sandworm incursions halted almost completely. Seeing that their home is now safe they could start improving it, or start expanding outwards. The workers who made the wall streingthening got more food as certainly their genes were good.

The foremen came to conclusion that the hive should expand to give more room for the population. Also proper lairs should be build for the individuals to live and the hole to the surface must be covered so that it is hidden from invaders but still lets the pusmal to travel outside.

They also start investigating the oasis further, and to find out if the creatures and plants there are edible, or otherwise useful.

Elaborating on the worm's memories and the suzumou.
The worms can store incredible amount of information within their brains. Hazuvaat that have been hosting a suzumou tribe for few centuries have already accumulated memories worth hundreds of lifetimes. They leech these memories and thoughts, both intentionally, and accidentally when the suzumou connect with their nervous-system.

Over time, these accumulated memories start to change the worm's own mind. Younger godworms, which only recently have started hosting the suzumou, are usually much more abusive towards their little worshipers. They see the creatures as tools, blatantly using them to further their own agendas, while being quite indifferent to the suffering it might cause within the tribe.
As the relationship between the godworm and it's tribe goes on, the worm grows more and more fond of the suzumou it hosts, as the acquired memories of the sentient wespars seep to the worm's own personality. Eventually, the worm and the tribe are as one in mind.

The normal suzumou memories and minds are only partially stored within the worm, through the brief neural contacts they make with the worm during their lives. The wormborn are a different matter. They aren't fed to the worm when they die as a sacrifice, they are instead absorbed back to the wormflesh, allowing the worm to regain and store their whole personalities and memories.
The worm can then recreate these useful servants by implanting their personality to a new wormborn, during the gestation.
These individuals are born with the full persona of their earlier incarnation, but more often than not, they start developing differently, as their experiences change them.

The Ry'lai that have settled in the tree tops have begun to lay branches over the tops of the Frilla pods. Since they live within the pods this allows them some semblance of privacy and a way to escape the heat. With a normal separation of each other the Ry'lai have begun to think for themselves in their free time. Some take to mimicking the patterns of their homes. Other take to trying to "dance" their person lights changing in colors they have had little use for in day to day life.

Some of the Ry'lai who have mimicked the trees have begun to tell others that the trees know many things. They speak in a language they cannot yet understand but perhaps they understand something now after watching the ancient trees for so long.

Meanwhile one of the elder scouts seems a new creature below their homes. While normally the Ry'lai would descend upon them like a blast of napalm, this time he is curious. The isolation has caused him to wonder what other creatures do.

The Hitangan's increased social structure sees advancements in communication. No longer satisfied with exclamatory grunts and their powerful roars, the Hitangan start to develop their own tongue.

As their tribe advances, and their dwellings provide better protection, Alphas cease to be the oldest and males cease to be the only dominant ones. Ancients of both genders rise to be the wisest amongst the gorrirogs and lead their more headstrong kin.

The Hitangan develop a tonal dialect, rhthmic and musical in nature. It plays well to the powerful vocal chords of the Gorrirogs.

The crafters cleverly design the new huts to be sloped on the side that faces the wind, and have expanded the huts to be partially underground for heat retention and more living space. The gatherers collect large bundles of a strange, stringy plant which seems to shred into long strands easily. They'll have to examine them more closely to see what they could be used for.

Meanwhile:

Knixi rested within one of the many warm flesh pouches of the great Hazuvaat.
For the first time in her short life, she could be alone within these wast incubation chambers. So few had survived the death of their former host. Even fewer had followed Sadkha, when she and her sisters decided to look for a new worm, instead of pointlessly trying to save their dying god under the tons of stone and sand, exhausting themselves, until they too died, besides their god.

The few dozens that saw the madness of the rest of the Khun'zu-iaan tribe, and followed Sadkha to the desert are the only ones that remain. They took a new name, Zu-Nul, as their former tribe was no more.

They had almost started to disperse, when the call of the Hazuvaat was felt. Sadkha let them to this new god, and now they had a home again. An empty home. There were so few of them, that each of the Zu-Nul could take a flesh pouch for themselves. Knixi had done so. She was the youngest, of the survivors, too young to mate and lay eggs, as the adults had been fervently doing since they had settled.

She contemplated the fact that shortly, her newfound privacy would be a thing of the past, as soon enough, the chambers would be flooded with nymphs and even more larvae. The nectar glands of the chamber walls were already swelling. She resisted the urge to feed, as she didn't even know the name of the Hazuvaat. It was unthinkable to drink the godworm's nectar without addressing the Hazuvaat appropriately.
The blue patches of skin, indicating the place where the Hazuvaat's voice could be heard caught her eye, jet she dared not to even approach it. The elder sisters had been very distressed after talking with the godworm. Without a seer, the tribe is lost. The ways of the Hazuvaat are too poorly understood by mere mortal suzumou.

>>18870978

Suddenly, someone bursts to her private chamber.
"There you are Knixi! Sadkha needs you urgently!"
It was Chirrin, slightly older male, the color patters in his wings indicated that he was very excited.
"The Great Hazuvaat has laid an egg! The elders need everyone to be present! You especially! The ritual is about to begin!"

An egg? The Hazuvaat had laid an egg? She had never taken a part in the Hazuvaat-nul ritual.
She quickly stood up, and jumped to the air, her four wings easily carrying her in the air.
"Come on then!"
They quickly flew to the backside of the godworm, where the rest of the tribe was already waiting.

>>18870992

As they landed, Sadkha herself aproached Knixi, her wing-patterns indicated slight agitation, and perhaps fear.
"Good, you are finally here! This is a bad time for the Hazuvaat to bear a blessed egg. The Hazuvaat-nul ritual is not well remembered by any of us. Without a worm-seer to guide us, we could defile the holy child of the godworm! But the ritual must be conducted! It has always been so! If we leave it undone, the Hazuvaat might curse us, and abandon us!"

"You are the youngest! Tradition says, that the youngest is to take the egg to a high point, where one can see the rims of the desert, and present the Hazuvaat-nul to the Burning Eye in the Sky and to the desert, which will be the domain of the godworm's spawn. In doing so, the worm will bless us, and the Hazuvaat-nul will remember us when it becomes Hazuv, one of the great worms of the sand."

"You must do this, the preliminary rituals and blessings have already been done, you must now take the Hazuvaat-nul and finish the ritual!"

Without even asking if Knixi was ready, or understood her mission, Sadkha placed the egg, the child of the god, Hazuvaat-nul on her hands.

"Go child, and don't fail us."

Without a further word, she was sent on her way.

The desert in the area their new Hazuvaat resided in was rocky. Knixi could see great mountains up the north, but she doubted that she had to climb them. She flied to the northeast, towards tall rock formations. The was sand ocean spread everywhere her eyes could see.

As she approached the formation, the desert became ever rockier. There were no signs of life anywhere, other some tiny grass like plants growing between the rocks.

She flew atop the tallest of the rocks belonging to the formation, and raised the egg above her head. She could see the frail form of the Haz, the sandworm larva, as the sun shined through the egg.
She raised her voice and bellowed:
"Behold desert and the burning eye! I carry the Hazuvaat-nul! The child of god! The blessed spawn of the godworm, the great ruler of the desert! The ascendant has laid an egg! The blessed Haz that hatches from it will grow to rule this land and ascend to godhood, like her mother did! Behold world! The descendant of our lord! The Hazuvaat-nul!"

With that, she fell to her knees, exhausted.
The egg slowly pulsated in her lap. After resting for a bit in a shade provided by a nearby rock, she flew off again. The egg must be buried somewhere safe, to a place, where it will not be disturbed.
She begins to search for a suitable place.

At the same time some of the smarter Ry'lai have learned to harness their poisons more readily. Their immunity has been built up and they can store the poison gasses along side their explosive ones. When they lob their firebombs they now explode with a poisonous bang. Alongside that the Ry'lai can now throw what is equivalent to a mustard gas grenade.

There is talk about expanding through the frilla forests to find more lethal poisons but as of yet nothing has been decided.

The alphas are pleased to hear that they can provide for the growing colony, remaining in a position of power that they are sure they will grow used to. Hunting parties are regularly sent north to bring back fresh game whenever it is needed. In the meanwhile, 'families' think that the south sounds like a much more hospitable area. The alphas do not mind expanding so long as they continue to kill their prey and wield power over the others in the tribe.

While the alphas effectively rule the tribe, the eldest of these protozoans are shamanistic elders, holding the genetic memories of many generations of Lem. They provide spiritual sustenance in the frozen wasteland and interpret much of what they know for the rest of the tribespeople. They know they are somewhat alien to the rest of this world. They are completely unique in so many ways when compared to the wild animals, the varying plants. Even a rock may change in the howling frozen wind and countless caresses of snowflakes. But the Lem were always the same. This didn't make them special. It made the entirety of the world around them a quietly holy place. Everything should be respected, nothing should be wasted.

The hunter manages to calm the beast down enough to mount it, but went only a few minutes before falling off of his own accord, much to his compatriots' amusement. More practice is definitely needed in the coming days. The craftsman working with the stringy reeds has a rough idea of what to do with them, clumsily attempting to intertwine the reeds to weave patterns. His efforts are sloppy, but improving. Hopefully soon the rest of the Makers will pick up his ideas.

The gatherers are sent out once again, this time to collect fresh water and glacial ice for storage. The more elite hunters train with their potential steeds some more.

IG, if you don't approve this, feel free to just ignore/retcon this.
I am just describing how I think that the houyi would react to the increased Gorrirog presence at their territory.

As the Hitangan tribe pushes deeper to the mountains and the obsidian fields, the native crest houyi become increasingly aggravated by these sturdy intruders that trespass their hunting grounds.
The Houyi start forming small patrols, that keep that try to keep their eyes on the gorrirogs, in case they try to intrude any deeper.

If the gorrirogs come too close for the liking of the houy, they will reveal themselves, screech at the intruders and alarm the rest of their pack by signaling them with their back crest. If they continue their approach, the houyi will shoot few warning shots, and screech even louder, which calls more of it's mates to it.
If the second warning isn't enough, the houyi will open fire, shooting foot long sand spines at 5 spines/second.

As the houyi are almost as intelligent creatures as the tribal species are, they know when to avoid conflict. If they see a large group of hostiles moving towards them, they will lay low, hide, and prepare an ambush, if they feel that they can't get away.

The crest houyi aren't as aggressive as their bigger cousins, they are just very territorial. They hunt the jet wespars that swarm over the obsidian fields for the thermal winds they generate. They are very unlike to actually attack aggressively, unless they have absolutely no other way to get food for some reason.

The expansion didn't go as well as the foremen wanted. The ground was harder than anticipated and made the work proceed slowly.

The scouts are meet a grim end. Before they even can reach their former home, they encounter a houyi patrol.
The aggressive snake like creatures have adapted to shoot down the extremely agile jet wespars, compared to them, the suzumou are easy targets.
They houyi casually fill the air with shards, the scouts had no chance of fighting back, through luck only 2 of the 5 return, both heavily wounded.

The scouts in the oasis find out that the aquatic usmals, which have adapted to evade the ever present gill worms, are easy to catch, as they aren't expecting the attack to come from above. The Zu-Nul find the gillworms quite fascinating. To them, it is clear that even the water is the domain of the great Hazuvaat. As the Suzumou are carnivorous, the plant life of oasis doesn't interest them that much. They do note the strange lights the blue cho plants seem to emit. The scouts are anxious to report their findings, especially about the gill worms to the tribe.

The plains scouts haven't jet reached their destination, as unfavorable winds forced them to ground. They continued by foot, but they are still a couple of days away from the edge of the desert.

The Hazuvaat was quite displeased that it's questions are jet to be answered, but after it was shown the memories of one of the surviving scouts, it calmed down, but demanded that another attempt at scouting must be made. The worm also finally tells her name to the Zu-Nul, which is Zhen'qual. She is quite interested in hearing further reports from the greenery, when they arrive that is.

The tribe prepares to send another scouting party, this time during the night, so they could better hide from the Houyi. (they are unaware of the fact that houyi have infrared vision too.)

Hunting for an expanding group is time consuming, and it doesn't help that the betas of the tribe are cautious about distancing themselves from the hunters.

They try using primitive drags at first that are made out of tree branches that will scare and force fish into shallower waters where they can be speared.

The Hitangan see many attacks by the houyi as they expand their territory. Losses are a great disaster to the tribe, who see each individual as a valuable contibutor and valiant warrior.

Eventually, the Hitangan use their craft to make large carapace shields. This allows them to withstand a modicum of the houyi's firepower during their hunts.

>>18875775
That one fateful day. Collecting metals had been a thing of pride to the Hitangan. the metals would decorate their homes, and some of the gorrirogs would make crude jewellry out of the minerals and vines.

Then one day an upset juvenile stole their rivals metal and cast it into the fire. The mature hitangan ushered their juveniles away, and when the fire died down, something interesting was discovered. The metal had melted and pooled at the bottom of the fire pit. Naturally, some tried to repeat this effect and eventually discovered the malleability of the metal. Alphas and Ancients immediately thought of the potential, and began crafting spears similar to the projectiles that the houyi use.

The difference now is that gorrirogs can innately project electricity through these spears. This proves to be very valuable and only the strongest warriors amongst the Hitangan are granted the use of the spears.

Hoboy. Let me write this one up.

She was suddenly jolted from her sleep, or what passes for it for the Suzumou. Reverberations through the ground warns her that a group of creatures are coming. Quickly, she grabbed the Hazuvaat-nul, and hovered quickly toward the general direction of the oasis. Behind her, a crested Houyi hunting group had seen her, and prepared to sneeze a rain of shards at her. But Knixi is young and nimble. Using timed dodges and faked movements, she managed to evade most of them.
Emphasis on most.
She lost three wings, and her left leg only had two segments now.
But she kept the Hazuvaat-nul safe.
Even though her strength waned for a while, she pushed on, and by daybreak she reached the edge of the oasis. Under a fallen kaskus tree she found the perfect place for the Hazuvaat-nul. She carefully and devoutly buried the Hazuvaat-nul, and then turned around and went towards the direction of the sun, bleeding purple ichor that is her people's blood.
She never returned to the embrace of Zhen'qual.

As the Ry'lai become accustomed to their new homes the need for food becomes greater. The scouts begin to look for new foods outside of the frilla pods. One enterprising Ry'lai scout speaks up of the small creatures that scurry below them. A group call is made to look for other sources of food but some call for a hunt. Opinions are split and so the group allows proponents of both to do as they wish.

Meanwhile the Frilla Speakers have noticed that the skies above their homes have large shadows above them. Occasionally obscuring the sun they begin to become curious as to what these things are. Some of the Frilla Speakers want to venture higher but until more food is secured they are told to wait.

Meanwhile craftsmen are still working on making more solid roofs for the Ry'lai. They have begun to weave frilla fronds, their tentacles surprisingly nimble.

A gathering of Lem hunters surrounded their handicapped brother on the beach where he was put to recover. He knew as well as the rest of them what this meant. He closed his eyes and let his head fall back to rest in the sand. The others drew close and raised their spears. They fell on him to a chorus of crashing waves. They devoured him under a steely sky. They absorbed his memories as if they were breathing in salty air. He made them stronger, and they resolved to face this challenge the world had thrown at them. It would make them stronger too. They would eat this creature, use it's body, and learn how to do it again. First they had to prepare.

The next few days, the hunters in the south spend many hours swimming. They've found that they can use their head-tails to help propel them sufficiently. They do not require breaks for resting or breathing at the surface. They are driven to prove themselves.

Something old awoke within the genetic memory of every single warrior gathered on the beach. Something feral and unbridled. Something that had not made itself known in even the fiercest hunts of the past several generations. Something that sprung up from darker days when their only two states of being were 'hungry' and 'killing'.

Cries, screams, roars, bellows. A furious declaration in the face of the world. If this creature was holy then their quest was to make its ferocity a part of their own. This sacrament would be spoken of for all time, eternally perfect in the genetic memory of all. The battle chorus drives the warriors into the surf, and they begin their hunt.

That morning, as the oasis scouts prepared to return to the Hazuvaat, one of the picked up the faint scent of blood. After a brief debate about what they should do, they decide to investigate it.

Soon enough, they find the broken body of Knixi, lying in the sand at the edge of the oasis. The scouts were unaware of the Hazuvaat-nul ritual that had occurred back at the godworm.
Discovering their youngest sister horribly maimed by the houyi spines causes distress and sorrow amongst the scouts.

One of them decides to follow the trail of dried ichor, which eventually leads him to the fallen over kaskus. There, as he smells the godworms egg that has been burrowed under the tree, it all becomes clear.

The scouts take the Knixi's body with them, as they start to fly back towards their new home, knowing that they must deliver the news of grief to the tribe, and also the knowledge that their youngest one didn't fail them in the end.

There's also the matter of what held up expansion.

>>18878370
The sea-hunters did not see any white slizer during this hunt, but they did come upon a lone slizer, which did not react to their presence. Taking advantage of this, the sea-hunters descended upon the unlucky slizer in their rage.
The hunters return with the spear-riddled carcass of the slizer, but this does not satiate their fury. For until they find the white slizer and kill it, they will keep returning to those shores.

Also wondering how the tribe did on their tasks. It's looking like the Zahrewi don't get writing just yet.

>>18878787
well, you could say that during their tribal period they adapted towards watery life. Something like this happened in the West Continent with the Frowgmanon; the plains get taller and more nimble, while the tundra got taller and bigger. That's within the rules.

"IS SUN HIGH TIME. IS HOT SAND TIME. IS HEAD SMASH TIME" a few of the more excitable fire mane began crushing the heads of near by tribe members. The strongest of the tribe drove forward in rage, smashing skulls with their blunt rock studded club. This drove the smaller of the tribe to hide dressing in leaves and bones etc., some to attempt to dig into the ground. making small pits to seek shelter from the rage. Others riot torching everything in their way adding to the chaos, this in turn teaches the Fire Mane what burns best. Confused Koburrogs trip over holes, disguised cowards and more. falling into a flaming tent a lone koburrog runs screaming thru the encampment, wrapped in burning tent material. The others see this and think it is a fire spirit, despite their reverence for fire spirits they all club it to death, shrieking in terror. By the time the chaos is over there is no encampment left. They need bedrolls, and nomad mobility. clearly they are not responsible enough to have a permanent home.

rolling: Camouflage, Traps, trenching, burning, bed rolls and mobility.

>>18878979
oh yeah.
They've managed to reach the old host's husk, and found that parts of it were missing. Evidence and tracks suggest Gorrirog interference! The scouts return with this information successfully, and relayed it to the sisters. In return, the sisters inform Zhen'qual.
Zhen'qual replies: "It is as I suspected... the brutes do dare to defile us. Defiling us makes them infidels. You know what to do with infidels."

A herd of unusual animals passing through interrupted the digging, especially when one of them ended up falling into the ditch and chased the workers out. Some rather curious members of the tribe try approaching the creatures, watch them, throw some food to see what happens.

They are given enough supplies to last nearly a week, and fine weapons crafted specially for them. The stalkers accept this honor, and strike out. The shaman continues to feel out the sounds and try to make the symbols fit. One of the elders watches his progress with great pride.

While the tribe was in the middle of discussing what to do with the defilers of their former host, the scouts from the oasis return, carrying the body of Knixi.
The tribe is shocked to see the brutalized corpse of their youngest member.
"What about the Hazuvaat-nul? What happened to the god egg?", asks Sadkha.
"Knixi managed to bury it in a safe place. She must have bee nheavily wounded at the time", responds one of the scouts.

Surely such thing is unnecessary as we have always made out nest this way and as such it is the perfect way. Slso some other such foreman demanded that there should be way to record the information of the past. And why is that? What does past matter when the only thing you have to focus is the present.

But hey! At least they can dig good trenches! And burn stuff!
In the end, the Fire Mane decided that stationary dwelling is too dangerous (due to riots and predators), so they made portable shelter and sleeping bags. At least they can do this right.

The floating Frilla is old indeed, for it remembers the time when their kind were but simple creatures floating in the breeze. Knowledge about the winds and things on the air were transferred to the shamans via light-induced trances.

The Hitangan gorrirogs have successfully replaced a great deal of their buildings with obsidian and stone, leading to more concealed settlements and less reliance on carapaces. The sandworm carapaces are almost all gone now, replaced by easier to find Houyi Carapaces. The houyi carapaces are a source of pride amongst the hitangan warriors. Killing Houyi is a dangerous task, and those who survive deserve their trophys.

The envoys who set off to make peace with the suzumou never returned. The Ancients fear they were killed. Knowing that the suzumou worship the sand worms, the Ancients push to remove all traces of the worms carapaces from their village. They hope they are not too late to prevent disaster.

A rather courageous Alpha named Kuasa leads his subordinates to the coastline past the mountains. (north of starting point L)

Meanwhile, the remaining Ancients push for the refinement of their metalworking skills. many of the weapons they had previously are broken or lost and carapaces are only so tough when used as shields and armour. Other groups of Hitangan turn to more domestic tasks.

Rolling for: West coast settlement, Metalwork Refinement, Oasis Agriculture, Herbalism, More Efficient rock transport methods.

>>18881729

Kuasa leads his subordinates to the coast. Not all of them survive the trek through the montains, as some of them fall prey to Houyi and land worms. However, they make a settlement close to the coastline. Starting the building process is slow at first, but they endeavour to make it work. The food sources here are more bountiful than before.

The Ancients have a hard time convincing the Hitangan to continue developing metalworking skills. For some it is easier to use their natural weapons or easily obtainable carapace weapons & rocks. rocks are ferried to the villiage in large stretchers & primitive carts.

At the oasis, the Hitangan have great success hunting and growing plants. They discover all sorts of herbs and foodstuffs. However the use of the herbs is ignored in their enthusiasm for this source of life.

The monsters out here man... I tell you..
This place is pretty Nopeworthy

You go into that jungle boy, its gonna chew you up and spit you out. I saw my best friend holding his legs, screaming. What the fuck were we fighting for man?!! I CAN STILL HEAR THE WESPERS!!!

(Note that the reincarnation of Knixi won't instantly be born, the godworm will force the reconstructed mind to the body of a developing suzumou larva, much like in the case of the wormborn, causing the child to become pre born, the personality of Knixi infused to her mind since the moment she hatches. She won't emerge just jet, as the larvae infused with her mind is still developing.)

The scouts attempt to avoid the koburrog, as ít is their highest priority to deliver their tribute back to the Hazuvaat intact.

Meanwhile, the Zu-Nul are in sorrow. The wormseer that they prayed that would emerge is still absent, they are aimles, and many of them have died. They sent hunting groups both to the desert, and some to the oasis, in hopes of catching suitable prey, so they might apease Zhen'qual.

They also make another ritual of the seer, hoping that it would hasten the emergance of the wormseer.

Rolling for scouts to get safely back with their tribute, 2 rolls for both hunting groups and a roll for the ritual.

The Vietkoburrong make off with your kill, in a rather dramatic fashion. Your one hunting group finds an artillery Devil as well as several ambush houzi. (thats your 5 roll. roll a 1d20 to see if you survive) the other gorup finds and kills a heard of sandoni, they arent amazing, but there are many, many of them. each warrior drags back his own kill. Finally...the ritual is going sorta meh. its gonna take a while, but no major setbacks. just slow.

The Koburrogs also stole some of your sacred weaponry...feel mad.

rolled 1, 9, 20 = 30

This will not stand!
No one steals the tribute meant for the great hazuvaat, nor the honorblades made from the teeth of their former host!
The scouts make the ritual of worm call, they attempt to summon a mature or juvenile sandworm to their aid by dancing and shrieking, causing vibrations on the ground.

The hunting group attempts to flee from the horrible spine lauching beasts.

The more succesfull hunters start preparing the food that was not immedeatly sacrificed to the Hazuvaat for storage. The eggs laid when they first settled dow anre going to hatch soon, and in order to grow, the larvae need to get proteins from meat.

Rolling for sandworm summoning, fleeing from the devil and the houzi as well as for storing the food.

>20 for STORING FOOD!

FUCKING HELL GODDAMIT SHIT CUNT! THAT SHOULD BETTER BE SOME GODLY CAN FOOD THEN! FUCK YOU DICE GODS!

>>18882309

Well, seeing that both IG and NG seem to be away right now, I might as well update this.

The two scouts manage indeed to attract something. Their call was soon responded with vibrations that indicated the movement of an average sized worm from the south. As the vibrations got closer however, the suzumou noticed something weird in them. They reminded them of typical sandworm vibrations, but at the same time, there were strange discrepancies that they were unfamiliar with.

When the vibrations reached their position, it was clear that whatever they had called, was not a sandworm.
They managed to jump in the air, just as a hungry landworm burst from the sand.
The landworm do not recognize the suzumou as their allies, and thus, the ravenous creature lunges at the two flying suzumou, who curiously examine the strange worm that heeded their call. Their curiosity turns into horror, as their illusion of being out of the worm's reach is broken swiftly, when the worm hurls it's pincher tipped tongue at one of them.

The worm grabs a firm hold, and one of the scouts is dragged to the depths of the desert.
The remaining one panics and starts madly flying towards it's home.

The hunting group manages to spot the looming threat in time, as the houzi start opening fire towards them. They manage to dodge the worst of the fire, fleeing with only one casualty and few more serious wounds among minor cuts and holes in their wings.

The food is stored, AND IT IS THE BEST GODDAMN DRIED MEAT EVER! The nymphs who will spawn from the wormgod's flesh soon will always fondly remember their first meals of this dried meat, and then woe the fact that they will never taste something as delicious again.

By complete fluke, the Hu-raan discover that when clay is exposed to high temperatures, it hardens into a sturdy, waterproof material. The tribe begins to make pots for storage. Effort will be put into obtaining more of this valued material.
Even with the advent of shovels, progress on the addition to the village was still going slowly. There would always be a couple Ramel inside of where the new ring was supposed to be.

Rolling for clay pit, brick, and coaxing the ramel out of the expansion.

Finally! All good rolls!

rolled 17, 19, 18, 19, 1 = 74

Kuasa's settlement is well on it's way and his subordinates find new food and materials. Ramels and such make for good hunting. As the settlement grows, they start to build a road around the base of the mountains back to the main village.

The Ancients encourage their subordinates and the alphas to work on developing the metals they bring back from the mountains. Also, the oasis brings all sorts of food and herbs to the village and the Hitangan spend time discovering their uses

The threat of Houyi, Koburrog, and even possibly Suzumou attack prompts the Ancients to erect a sizeable obsidian wall in a wide berth around the villiage so they still have room to expand. As aggressive as the gorrirog are, the Hitangan only seek to protect what is theirs.

Rolling for: Building a road, Developing herbalism/ medicine, Spiritualism, Metalworking, and Advanced Masonry

>>18883345
Kuasa's settlement is now connected to the main village by a cobbled road. goods and food begin to be traded and shared between the village and the coastal settlement.

The Ancients reveal the mysteries of the herbs. They can be used for many things For food, for medicine, for energy.. The possibilities seem endless. They revere the spirits of the earth that gave them this bounty. Everything is connected. Every race is sacred. Every animal they kill and eat and use in every way they can
(Welp, we native americans now)

Hard work has finally paid off for the Hitangan. metals are melted, refined, mixed into alloys, and shaped into tools, armour, weapons, and even jewellry. However, attempts to progress in the field of masonry have had abysmally disastrous failures. collapsed walls, new buildings crumbling before they are even finished. It seems the Hitangan need new materials and knowledge to progress beyond simple mortar.

>>18883415

yesss... build your industry.... cause vibrations....

>>18883427
goddamn worms. need to borrow some vietkoburrong explosives!

I don't know. This game loses some of it greatness when people start to decide what the rolls do. I mean it's all kinda good and it makes the life of GM much easier but still people can always get what they want. previously there was always chance that GM would give you something that you wouldn't expect and he could control the game.

>>18883773
Agreed but then the same problem always arises
multi national scheduling. its a bitch

>>18883773

I kinda agree, but it is kinda hard to keep stuff going, during the times Ig is away.
In may case, it is the during hours when I could actually participate the most.
So, I can either pile up a shit ton of rolls for decisions, go to sleep, and read up what happened in the morning, as these threads are most active during the time I sleep, or I could try to keep the story going.

I don't like this any more than you do though, I am uncomfortable when I try to come up with a decision for other than average rolls.
1 and 20 are the worst.
What the fuck does nat 20 on storing food do?

>>18883773
>>18883837

Goddammit, why can't we all live in a giant space station where time is the same for everyone?

>>18883837
I second this. It seems whenever IG comes on, it's usually in the middle of the night for me. We need NG back for this time of the day.

The only other solution being having another GM that runs on NA time, since IG is obviously SEA. thats pretty much the only way the game will run continuously without waiting specifically for just IG and having threads drop off the board and 404 without him.

>>18883906
Speaking of which, we're getting up there in the post count. Archived before anything happens.
>http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/18865858/

I think a bigger thing is we need some events to stir the pot a bit. Without NG/IG most of us are just doing as we please, while we don't go crazy its not THAT compelling.

Electro-spears are ready, I'll start working on the shields and crude plate armour now

Any resolutions on the Lem's progress?

>>18884242

Against who?

>>18879371
The journey to the forests takes longer than expected. Dusk sets in as the Lem enter the forest. They mutter to each other that their journey is not off to a good start. By the time they make camp the forest is alive with strange sounds. It is clear they are not alone. Though the Lem do not sleep they do have lapses of consciousness and during one of these one of their mounts is stolen from them. Whatever took their mount was quick, silent, and deadly. Come daybreak neither Lem wants to precede further, or lose another steed. They gather a few frilla fruits and leave towards home.

Meanwhile at the home stead the shaman makes progress on developing a language. It is not perfect but some of the other Lem can understand what he is doing.

The gatherers set out and find almost too much food to bring home. They return with a few Green Houyi hides. One of the gatherers also returns with reports of strange creatures with huge humps on their backs. Similar to the houyi but different as well.

Well that's a bit of a setback as far as exploration goes. Everything else is cool though.

The Warden greets the three hunters and listens to their story intently. Though he is disappointed the first expedition failed, he acknowledges that Beast-Stalker Cierw made the right decision. After seeing the bounty that the gatherers have returned with, the clan celebrates with an impromptu bonfire. Much rejoicing and telling of tales occurs, and only a few are harmed in the revelry. After looking at the green hides which the hunters acquired, Maker Gweyhydd is struck with inspiration. He takes a shard of bone and a long strand of fiber, and attempts to attach two small pieces together to make a larger one. The hunters, hearing of the huge humped beasts, form a small mounted hunting party to investigate. The Makers weave the hunters a thick rope to lasso the creature, but if they cannot capture one to bring back, then they will kill it and take as much as they can back to the clan. The young shaman continues to devote time to his sound-shapes.

Rolling for sewing, tracking the great beasts, and more writing.

>>18884504
This is still the same game. We simply moved on from the evolution stage to the tribal stage. As for the Burrog tribal, it simply had an art update.

>>18884590
While the Lem can conceptualize what her wants to do his digits are not nimble enough to follow through. In his frustration he tears up the hide he is working on. Several Lem are forced to calm him as his frustration mounts.

>Roll too see if anyone is hurt in the sewer's rage

After the nights revelry a party is dispatched to find the great beast. Following the gatherer's directions they find what they can only assume is the humped houyi. As they get closer a few of the Lem misstep and the beast turns to them. Its jaw slackens and unleashes a huge bellow. The Lem realize a little too late that the beast is angry. The beast shudders and a large green spike embeds itself in the ground near the Lem. Most of the party makes it out but a few stay behind.

>Roll for the 3 that stayed behind (dictate: fight or flight)

The shaman has more success writing. Slowly but surely he is able to give more Lem the ability to read his writings, while many still struggle to write the language.

>>18884404

Well bollocks.

First roll is for Maker rage.

The last of the stalkers, though afraid of the mighty beast, decide to stand their ground in order to give their brethren a better retreat. One takes up the rope while the other two circle around it with their spears, trying to avoid the spikes.

With interest in the sound-shapes growing, more of the Lem gather around the shaman, attempting to hasten their development through jolly co-operation.

Warm.

As the large flock of Ry'lai expand northwards some are beset on by strange wasp like creatures. While many of the Ry'lai defend themselves a few are extremely sick. When the group sets up new roofs in the northern forests many of the Ry'lai are worried for their flock mates.

The scouts set out to look for herbs and food. The health of the flock is paramount. Alongside that some of the care takers have begun to clean out the trees of the frilla, if these are to be their new homes their trees must be happy.

Meanwhile the Frilla Speakers wonder how the floating trees manage to stay up. There's a curious idea that comes up. Perhaps these trees could be guided to move?

Rolling for medicinal stuff, food, scouting the northern forests, asking the floating frilla to move.

The time for the first generation of larvae to burst out from the worm flesh as young nymphs dawns.
This event brings joy to the Zu-Nul, joy, that had been much absent for a while now. The tribe had lost so many since they found Zhen'qual.
Finally, there would be some new blood.

The tribe conducts the ritual of joy and luck, so that the newborn children might be blessed with better fortune than their parents. They also organize a great hunt at the oasis, so that they could show their gratitude towards the Hazuvaat.

The report of the surviving scout catches Zhen'qual's interest. She extract everything related to the landworm from the scout's mind.
This worm is not like she is.
It is smaller, much smaller, but there is a raging power locked within it. She wants the landworm. She wants it's properties for her spawn, so that they might have an edge over the other sandworms.

The wormseer is not jet ready though, and she no longer trusts the simpleminded suzumou. She needs a proper agent, as fast as she can, so that the landworm may be acquired. Thankfully, there is already one larvae that is undergoing mental infusion....

Rolling for successful ritual, hunting and the godworm's schemes.

The Lem is further enraged by his brethren. "Why can't they understand what I'm trying to do!" His struggles hurt a few of the Lem. In the end when he is calmed down he's destroyed a hut and many of his brothers are angry at him. One good thing has come out of this. In his emotional rage a few of the bruised Lem have figured out what he was trying to do. Now 3 Lem are trying to connect the few hides remaining together.

As the rest of the tracking group flees the trio look to each other and nod. They charge at the beast! One of them goes down quickly to a hail of spikes. However the one with the lasso manages to grab the beasts "cannon". The one with the spear manages to maim the beast. However in its trashing kills the last of the spear Lem. The lasso Lem decides that a wounded beast is better than a lively one. He retreats trying his hardest to remember where the beast collapsed.

Northern Lem gain written language!

>>18884973
Nad I don't really know the rituals of the Suzumou well enough to give good result rolls :\ sorry. Though I will tell you that the hunting suzumou have downed game hardier from their usual. They have brought down a few of the artillery Houzi.

The other makers try and rebuild the hut. The Warden has no choice but to send Gweyhydd into seclusion, if only for a few days, to meditate on his rash actions. The three Makers attempting to sew the hides together continue working diligently. With the invention of a written language, the Head Shaman decrees that the story of the First Freeze be engraved on a standing stone and erected in the center of the village. The hunter who escaped the beast recounts his story, taking a larger party of hunters with more ropes, more pointy bits, and 100% more mounts this time.

Rolls are for rebuilding, sewing, engraving the story, and remembering where the creature fell.

>>18885035

Don't sweat it! No one knows how the rituals work, not even me! I come up with new ones constantly. Though I say based on the number that it didn't go completely well, let's just say that someone accidentally messed up the ritual by forgetting or breaking something.

The hazuvaat begins to strengthen her influence over the developing larvae, she can't be made into a proper wormseer with this short timeframe, but Shen'qual can implant some directives to the pre-born child.

>>18883300
The Huuraan discover all of these technologies and more! Their homes can now be made of small clay bricks.

alongside that some Huuraan laugh at the ramel enough that they follow them out of the encampment.

And we hit the autosage.
Hopefully IG doesn't mind that we kinda do this ourselves.
I would naturally prefer that if he was GM:ing this, as the primordial evo games were started by him, but he off course has other things to do as well.

Alright I'll be stepping out for a while. I might be able to narrate a few more things here and there but I'll see you all at the new thread (which I will not be starting). We can always leave it to IG/NG

The hunting party return with a modest amount of food. Enough for the tribe if they remain the same size. Meanwhile the shaman attempts to contact the old ones but hears nothing. Perhaps the gods are gones, or still slumbering.

The plant tastes funny but seems to do nothing strange to the Gorrirog. However, the youngling does seem to be growing up a bit faster than his similarly aged youngling.

>and I'm out.

>>18885289
>>18885289

Fuck yeah plant roids! The youngling Gorrirog is now addicted to squats, oats and browsing /fit/.

On a more serious note though, I'll continue when another DM turns up

Should we make a new thread, or wait for IG or NG to do it?

>>18885404
Wait for IG or NG. It'd be pretty presumptuous of us to start a new thread when neither of the DMs are here

I think I'd be ok waiting for them to post a new one. Though I find it fun its hard to get really into it when we're doing our own narration. Even if we have a 3rd story teller step up.

>>18885433
>>18885448

That was kinda what I thought too.
Hopefully they return tomorrow.
Btw, did falc disappear or did he just change his name?

>>18885466
I think Deus, TheBrowser, Amee(pusmal guy) and Falc all disappeared once self narration started going on.

I just want our DMs back :c

>>18885519

I think that is just because they had other things to do. Besides, I don't even recall facl making a tribe.
The last post I remember from him was in the normal evo thread.

>>18885448
>>18885519
>>18885576

I could start a separate evo game at creature-level to pass the time with, if you're interested?
I'll just need a few minutes to draw some monsters and a setting.

Well, I have some time to kill, so why not?
