Good morning and welcome back to Primordial, everyone! We're about to start the Oceanic Tribal game, and everyone is invited to play. To play, just choose a species from the available ones (will be elaborated soon), a name, a starting spot (to be elaborated soon), and a symbol to identify your tribe with. The five sentients (or is it sapients) have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Are multiple tribes of the same species allowed? I'm assuming more than 5 people are going to want to participate. Nice map, btw

To pick a starting spot, look at OP map, there should be letters and numbers along the top and left. Each of those big letters and numbers correspond to a 10x10 square grid, which defines where your tribe starts. So for example, you wanted to start off the south of the southernmost island in the archipelago, you start at I7 j7.

>>20753107
Of course!

And now for the races. We start with the Shrohan, which spends most of their time flying. They have advanced electric senses, and they could send out electric pulses to knock out prey. In fact, they use electricity to communicate over long distances, and their mating ritual involves the males trying to catch lightning. They can survive underwater up to depth 2, which means they can start anywhere, although they are common in the island archipelago.
They can fly roughly 2 squares per day (1 square being 100 km2).

So if I wanted to start at the coastal delta of the westernmost continent, I'd pick F6 A1?

>>20753184
I don't know if I'm stealing this species, but I'll claim them for quadrant H10

>>20753184
The second race is the Hiroha, which live in hives. Individually, Hirohas are dumb, with the females as smart as crows and males dumber than that. But, their intelligence grows as a group, as females can direct around a dozen males by her own, and usually the females form a think tank of sorts. There are no queens, the population is roughly split 50/50 in male/female distribution. They live in depth 1 and can survive the surface for some time and depth 2. They can swim roughly 1/2 square per day, and start anywhere near the tropics.

>>20753283
I really wish I wasn't so indecisive, I'm going to want to play all of these by the end.

>>20753200
Ayyup
>>20753258
don't forget the 10x10 coordinate! So you get H10 e5, for example.

The third race is the Cruelb, which originated from the depths. They use directed microwaves from their red 'eye' organ to subdue prey and talk to each other via pain signals. They are usually solitary, and if a cruelb can form a tribe, it means they are quite powerful indeed. Their tentacles are actually an extension of their insides, and above depth 3 these can baloon and burst due to less pressure. Leadership is determined by power. They live in depth 4, and can survive 3 with conditioning. They can walk on the seafloor for 3/4 square per day.

>>20753374
sorry, guess I'm a bit slow at getting this, but sounds good

>>20753283
How does their intelligence increase?

>>20753427
probably a sort of chemical hive mind

Hmmm If those are all the choice like to start with the Hiroa at
G15 d6 (is that close to the tropic?)

f5ing for more races

in the future you maybe want to type that stuff out ahead of time

>>20753374
The last race is the Seek're. They are the result of a symbiosis of a few creatures, and thus their minds are actually an amalgam of three minds. They can photosynthesize, although in deeper waters they tend to hunt for prey. Due to their unique minds, they are truly psychics, and communicate via telepathy. They are also the biggest of the 4. They live in depth 3, and occasionally come to 2 to photosynthesize. Depth 1, however, is harmful due to pressure difference. They can swim roughly 1 square per day.

Also, about currents: they can double your movement speed if you choose to ride them. I forgot to say that Cruelb can only start at depth 4 places, and Seek're can only start at depth 3 places.

>>20753323
If you want, you can run two tribes at once, but usually one tribe gets favored over the other.

>>20753567
Yup choice is made then

Allright, here's the updated map. By the way, you can start developing your tribes now, by rolling d10s. So, for example, you want to know how to make spears? Roll a d20! You can even make multiple research/upgrade/development in one post, for example: rolling for metallurgy, wheel and nets, you'd need 3d20. 1 is a critical failure, while 20 is an epic success. By the way, all tribes start out with zero technology. Be creative!

>>20754242

As always IG you have done awesome job with the map. You should put coordinates next to tribes name so they are easier to find from the map.

>>20754313

There is no real limit to rolls but we tend to keep it lower than 10 rolls. People play with different style so there are great variation between amount of rolls. So there are no real restrictions but use common sense to keep this from turning into powerplay contest.

Also new players should check the IRC for people if you have something to ask or even if you don't.
>http://mibbit.com/?channel=%23EVO&server=irc.thisisnotatrueending.com

I might make my own tribe in future.

OP, did you grab a sandwich?

I come out swinging, and I am the subGM. rolls are determined by 1d20 unless otherwise stated, usually for some special event. Unlimited number of rolls, but try not to go over board. examples:

Any developments you make go across all settlements of your tribe unless there is a special condition. roll to fortify your villages/towns/cities, not just one at a time. same with everything else, a roll effects the population as a whole. If you hunt/ farm for food and are good, you dont need to worry about it until you claim more settlements. I go by a rule of failure, if you attempt something three times, by the third time if you have failed, its gonna be a minor success.

>>20754495
Eh, fuck it man, we get a little more "magic" in the world to figure out later. This is still the tribal era. Now the hoppas have someone to talk to. In the end, IGs got command.

>>20754741
Cool. Can you address >>20754325
please?

Woop, back from food. Anyways, thanks ng for subbing me, which rolls are you gonna process? I'll take the others.

>>20754286
the tribe plays around with clumps of sea floor sediment but really doesnt build anything, and attempts to control water result in headaches.
>>20754313>>20754335
(d10 omitted. d20s all day.)
a simple trap involves a large group of individuals forming a sort of reverse "school" swarming around a prey creature to capture it. it is not efficent. Eggs are carefully planted in selp leaves. Large fields of selp are planted to get small creatures to live in the makeshift "forest" and allow for easy harvesting. ((selp is a seaweed see >>20731300 for a few minor oceanic life forms))
>>20754357
headaches continue.- psychic meditation on one's self yields understand to the conflict between the animal, the plant, and the microscopic sentient bacteria colonies that make up the whole. philosophy? religion? more?- raking the bottom of the muddy oceanic floor with claws is a close approximation to digging.

rolled 17, 15, 15 = 47

thank you for the update.
Roll 1: focus on the plant in the symbiosis, how does it grow, what does it function like?
Roll 2: moar studies of this fancy "water" thing
roll 3: begin digging pits the height and width of the average tribe member.

rolled 18, 17, 15 = 50

>>20754907
roll 1: See if we can't find other use for the selp
roll 2: Look into a way protecting the females, as they are the brain of our tribe and losing them is becoming dumber
Roll 3: try to improve on this method of hunting by breaking apart the fish school and then capturing the lone member

Sorry about the slowness, it's usual for tribal threads. There's also the fact that my work requires me to shift my full focus at it sometimes.

>>20754938
The plant is a part of you; it can photosynthesize if you go into shallower waters. It grows as you grow, and it functions like your own limbs.
Water is this liquid that surround you, that you breathe in, that is a bit viscous. You can see that it can move in currents.
you dig the pits, which had to be reinforced with padded mud because the usual mud keeps falling into the hole.

>>20754991
some forms of non-hostile selp can be harvested for its wide leaves, while others can be harvested for their vines. For now, the females are protected by corals, as they have found a nice large-ish nook inside the coral reefs.
The new fishing technique works, your hunters working like aquatic wolves. Catching fish using just their tentacles is a bit exhausting, though, and usually only enough were caught for daily consumption.

The Tribe of the Blue Sun renames itself the Bluewings.

Roll 1: experiment with tying lengths of selp together and sending electric signals through it
Roll 2: attempt to make a flail out of a selp "chain" and coral "ball"

>>20756463

>>20756463
>>20756473
The selp 'cable' doesn't work that well, due to it needing to be moist for it to work.
Meanwhile, the ball on a string thing works, and they find out that getting beaned by it hurts. Hey, now they can use this to hunt land animals or something like that!

Finally, I can make my tribe.

The community of shrohans calling themselves Izileth, (Storm children) inhabit a peaceful bay in one of the many islands of the great archipelago of Borgas 4. The tribe spends it's days fishing in the shallow waters around their island, as well as preying on the local wildlife.

They have very basic technology, mostly wooden objects, or things made from stone. Stone is often used in ritualistic purposes, such as the polished and smooth stone orbs placed atop of the storm totems of the tribe.
The storm totems are placed on the clear rocky hills of the island, so that they would attract lightning, which serves religiously important purposes for the Izileth.

The Izileth worship the sky and the ocean, according to their myths, they descend from Izil, the Storm Lord, the child of Jizal, the sky god and Alis, the goddess of the ocean. The legends of Izil are retold by the shaman of the tribe, who is also the leading male of the society.

The Izileth place high value on honor, bravery and tradition. The males are expected to protect their families and friends with their lives, while the females are expected to provide for their mate and children by hunting.

The Moonchaser tribe of Shrohan have come together by a new peace between several, smaller warring tribes by way of arranged marriage. The new leader, called "Moonwatcher" has decreed that all the small villages of a few families spread around their bay home should move to a central location and form a new village near the mouth of the river.
The son of Moonwatcher, known as Climbs-High-Cliffsides oversees the integration of the varied people with his band of warriors.

A picture and pastebin elaborating on the flora and fauna of the archipelago. http://pastebin.com/vtQrEDC1

The Izileth build homes woven from strands of seaweed atop the frilla trees of their island. They lay their eggs inside these nests, often using the pools made from pot frillas as "cradles" for their children, placing fresh food there for the larval shrohans to eat.

The adult shrohans also enjoy laying with their mates in pools filled with water, which conducts their electric fields much better than air. By laying in these pools with each other, the mated pair can merge their electrical fields, and thus "join" this sense with each other, reinforcing the very intimate bond the two formed when they chose each other during the great mating dances that occur when the monsoon storms hit the archipelago.

The Izileth currently have about 16 families, and their children. The tribe is led by the Shaman and his mate. The current shaman is quite old, but he has led the tribe with wisdom for many years. (The shrohans live approximately 20 years or so. Their bodies require great amounts of energy, and the strain their lifestyle puts them under are the two main causes of their shrot lives.)

rolled 2, 2, 9, 2, 1, 10 = 26

>>20760359
The location of the new settlement is in E13-D2, and has come to be known as Mooncliff and regarded as a holy land for it's white-colored stone.
The settlements consist of simple cliffside cave dwellings with plant covers. The settlement is very wide horizontally, and some of the caves can be surprisingly deep, with the larger ones supporting dozens of Moonchasers.

The actions of the Moonchaser Tribe are as follows:

1. Creation of new fishing techniques and technologies based on coordination and the use of nets, with multiple fishermen surrounding and electrocuting a school of fish in unison before capturing them.

2. Study practices of wood-carving using trees from the land above for purposes of art and weapon crafting.

3. Researching woodcarvers who are a little too enthusiastic may accidentally discover fire by way of friction. Research is ongoing.

4. Climbs-High-Cliffsides and a group of 8 of his best Warriors will seek hunting grounds along the river, setting up a small, disguised hunting outpost in a good spot for the future collection of meats and skins. When established, a pair of Warriors will relay back the message and prepare to create a supply line.

5. Children who are able to travel under their own power in relative safety will practice diving skills in groups with attending adults while searching for any precious or semi-precious stones or attractive shells on the bay floor.

6. Locate and research the use of clays at the mouth of the river for the creation of pottery, including the use of heat to create hard clays.

I really hope there's not supposed to be an action limit in here. I didn't see one explicitly stated, so...

My paint.net skills are weak, so I'm just going to describe the very basic stuff the Korokai have

The Korokai have been moving for many years. As a result, they only have what they can carry with them: Keeb shell shards for scraping things, bones used as clubs, and little else. The Korokai lost many skilled craftsmen when the Kruelb attacked them long ago, and having been struggling to relearn their old ways. The Elders decree that, since they tribe is starting anew, so should they learn the old skills anew. Various members of the tribe try to rediscover simple things. Ropes are the most obvious thing to acquire first, and most inviduals who try to learn the old ways try to make ropes, or nets. Others try for more abstract things, totems and cave carvings. The hunter/warriors listen to the elders as they tell tales of the old champions of the Korokai, and their skill in battle. The warriors begin practicing, so that their entire bodies are lethal weapons

>>20760369

The current shaman of the tribe is name Lezeal. He has led the Izileth for for 13 years, and in his age of 25, he is the oldest member of the tribe. He has decided that the time to pic a new shaman has come. Luckily, the monsoon storms are coming, and the youngsters of the tribe are going wild, the males are busy "flexing" their electric powers, while the females are excitedly training elaborate mating dances that would bring forth their agility and most importantly show off their bodies.
Lezeal decides that the boy who manages to catch the greatest lightning shall be trained as the new shaman.

The adult females of the tribe are trying to find new hunting grounds, as they know that with the coming monsoons, there will soon be many new families with mouths to feed. They split into two groups, one tries to explore deeper into the island, in hopes of finding good game to hunt, while others head to the sea, searching for good fishing waters.
The island explorers head southeast, towards the great mountain at the center of the island, where the tribe hasn't yet really explored.
The oceanic explorers scan the waters near their island, some even daring to go to explore the reefs to the west of their island.

>>20760923

The females who are still seen as too young, along with the males stay in the village, but try to aid to the best of their ability. Some of them are trying to figure out better ways of gathering fish than their wooden spears and the simple tactic of diving into the fish shoal and shocking them into submission. (It is actually very effective, but it is quite demanding physically for the females.)
The work to improve the fishing tools ends up with two ideas, first is just adding additional ends to the fishing spear to make hitting a fish more probably, and the other is weaving together some sort of seaweed basket in which to trap the wish.

The other females try to train themselves to be better with their hunting tactics. (perhaps developing dolphin like pack hunting under water)

Rolling on:
Seeing how successful the great monsoon mating dance is (how many new families)
Seeing if Lezeal finds a proper apprentice.
Scouting the home island for game.
Scouting the nearby waters for fish.
Developing fishing tools (2 rolls, tridents and basket traps)
Developing hunting tactics.

Over 10 and it happens, and every 1 after that is the percentage of your food stores that gets eaten. That means 15 = 50% food loss, and 20 = 100% food loss.

Hope you get lucky, folks.

Khar'rat is an old and wise seek're, who has traveled the world's seas. During his eventful lifetime, he was wounded almost fatally. For 12 days, he walked the line separating life and death, light and darkness. Broken, lying on a cliff, with nothing but abyss under, he heard the Light and Darkness calling for him. One was warm and calm, the other cold and demanding. He won the duel with his darker self, and came back enlightened.
He settled down in the Bay of Truth and used his wisdom to guide every pasing seek're. A lot of them did not listen, but some did. And these were the individuals that formed the Rah'na Ma'Re.

Khar'rat teaches his followers, that the way to find someone's inner rah'nare is to fight the inner darkness.
Rolling for the invention of meditation techniques.
Kha'rat teaches the disciples, that there is no light without darkness, but darkness itself leads to the Abyss.
Rolling for the development of techniques to enchance driving capabilites of the Rah'na Ma'Re.
Kha'rat teaches all those who listen, that in the Light, we are all one.
Rolling for enriching the proto telephatic language.
Kha'rat also teaches, that the place of worship is one's own mind, however when many minds come together, they need a place to cradle them.
Rolling for finding a spot for a future monastery.

>>20762124
Kha'rat's teachings have taken roots in the minds and hearts of the Rah'na Ma'Re.
The threeminded worked day and night, and then finally the meditation shined through the darkness. Its potent mind altering capabilities quickly spread through the ranks of the disciples, signaling the beginning of a new era of consciousness.
As more and more try to find a way to fight their inner darkness (whatever that may be) the tribal seek're find new ways of improving their diving capabilities. Now they can ascend a bit lower.
Kha'rat's teachings and the gatherings have spawned a lot of telepathic currents, from which a proto language emerges. Dualism and trinity are working at the core of this language.
Locating a spot for the great gatherings have provided unfruitful in this region. The tribe will have to look elsewhere to find a proper place to settle down.

rolled 17, 9, 3, 19 = 48

>>20762506
The meditation and finding oneself has greatly improved the Rah'na Ma'Re threemind. This is noticable for other seek're.
Rolling for the reception.
Kha'rat travels the outskirts of the tribal territory spreading his teachings and bringing the word of Light.
Rolling for gaining new followers.
The altered mind state allows the seek're to reach new heights of creativity.
Rolling for the first tools.
Young followers of the faith scout the surrounding lands for a place to raise the great hall.
Rolling for success.

>>20762597
The reception was very positive from other seek're in the vicinity. They are interested in the new possiblities this "way" has to offer. However Kha'rat's enlightened speeches are too much for them, making them a bit confused. Now most of them just wait and watch, what will happen with these strange seek're.
Finally we can see Rah'na Ma'Re creativity at it's finest. From the depthts of the threemind comes the roll of cleansing. Totally useless in and underwater environment (The Bords did it).
One of the scouts found a more than perfect underwater plateu for the gatherings. The tribe may soon move there.

The Rah'na Ma'Re numbers are slowly growing.
Rolling for converted skee're.

Rolling for success.
After arriving there, they begin immediately scouting the area of the great underwater flat.

>>20763335
Great numbers of followers has joined under the season, however most of the youngest generation did not survive the journey, brought down by an unknown plague. Great sorrow enters the hearts of the tribe, but the journey into the Light is a hard one, the Abyss always claiming the minds and the souls of the descending ones.
A great storm causes the currents to change, setting the tribe on the wrong course, after days of wondering, they finally find the plateu.
The scouts are to tired to do their work properly, making the tribe a sitting duck.

Hey man... We typically don't provide our own roll results, and when we do, its not in the quantity you're doing it.

We have the gms hand roll results, so that no one can make their own tribe overpowered, or jump ahead through making large numbers of rolls like you're doing. Wait for the gms to hand roll results man. Or if you want to continue self-gming, slow down a bit

I didn't necessarily want to play them myself, just wanted them to be an option. I will give some info for NPC tribes of the race. Swabord I'll call them, I guess.
They're found in tropical islands in the seas between the central, east, and south continents, as marked on this piece of map. In many of the tribes, music and dance are major parts of culture. Two things common across all culture are comradery between their fellow tribesmen, and a fondness of shiny objects, which are made into jewelry. Some are bound to be sailing between small island chains.

If anything, I was thinking more of using Frowgs in the archipelago. For now, I'll start a tribe of Rohas. Just needs some time to figure out the details.

Claiming the watery areas at the very bottom of G12, sub I2

The Shrohan of Ehail nas Shuur have hunted together for many tides. They have flown through the stormy clouds, and many eggs have hatched under the cautious guardianship of Kuz, who is the eldest and wisest of them all. They worship Pzatow, who is the bringer of thunder and the raging tempest of the Ocean. They call their little strip of shore and sea Ehail nas Shuur, or the Place of Safety. Their tribe name, Kuzmoto, means 'People of Kuz'. For the time being, the entire tribe resides in a collection of seaside caves, with the tribe numbering at about 70 Shrohan spread through 5 caves. Most of these caves have smaller rooms branching off, which a mated pair of Shrohan claim for their own personal use. They hunt fish swimming too close to the surface, and the occasional small critter. One adventures Shrohan decides that she wants to know what is on the rest of their little island, and so begins to explore.

Scouting to the west

rolled 4, 18 = 22

A group of about 30 Hirohas swims through the eastern coral reef, searching for shelter. With the group's current size, they do not yet have any sort of higher intelligence coming from the female hive-mind yet. They operate on the levels of simple animals scavenging for food and shelter. After a few days of travel, the group comes across someplace safe to settle down. With staying put for the time being, the hive mind is now able to become organized enough to make decisions to gather food.

Rolling for type of shelter found (I have the method of determining the results for this roll in mind) searching for food.

The shelter found by the group of Hiroha is a rocky overhang on which the colonies of Luscanemat Coral grows on top of.
As to be expected, the reef is bursting with life, making food abundant. Workers sent out by the hive are able to collect ojos, nuros, skrimps, and other types of food in no time.

Rolling for growth of the hive.

>This is simple, so I'll cover this myself as well.

The hive grows at a slow, but steady rate. If there were any rough patches, they were easily recovered from. With the increased population, the hive-mind became more developed. Two simple decisions are made from the still simple collective, expand the shelter, and hoard. Hoard things.

Rolling for expanding the shelter by any means available, exploring, and gathering various materials and objects found during exploration.
>Going through simplified versions of the stages of cognitive development. The hive-mind is around the preoperational stage.

The Bluewings are alarmed at the intrusion of a separate tribe on what they consider to be their territory.

Roll 1: The success of this year's lightning catching mating ritual. Are the males virile, or do the females spurn them?

Please keep in mind, each individual square is about 100km sq, or 65 miles sq. Contact is probably not going to happen right away.

>>20766071
Also, my Hiroha are in the open ocean, under the Luscanemat reef, not near any islands where you'd live.
As for the envoy, they'd find the group to be little more than just simple animals so far, as the hive-mind has yet to form proper consciousness.

>>20766174
Of course, that's if they'd take notice of the small armored squids underwater. Working on an image list of things found in the reef, starting with types of Roha.

im currently compiling a list of all tribes by race and player. im pretty burned out, but i want to talk a little bit with the player base. If you want to self GM, go ahead, I saw one player doing it, and as long as you can be as close to fair and unbiased towards your own results as you would another player. "a fail is a fail, etc" fuck it, i thank you for reducing my work load. I can tell a few of you have a story to tell, so im down. On the flip side, go out of control, im going to smite your ass back to the pre-stone age like any good GM would. tonight im feelin pretty ill, so I dont know if ill be doing any results, but i will make my chart of players and locations.

Shame to hear that.
I hope that you will get better.
Your efforts have been vital for this game.

A thing I would like to know however is if the frowgs live on the archipelago like we discussed.
Also, another thing that people should note is how species communicate and the language barriers that emerge from this.

The shrohans communicate with noises and trough their electric fields.
The hirohas with light.
The cruelbs with blinking patterns and pain signals caused by their micro waves.
And the seek'kre telepathically apparently. (Why do they need this is still a mystery to me. They could by all means use more beliavable methods, hell even vibrations travelling trough water to form communication links or something.)

>>20769194
Augh, sorry to hear that, but I'm also busy on my end. It seems like for 3+ months I can't GM no more due to work performance issues. At least not on worktimes. Sorry! I hope APoe and NG can slow burn this arc.

I want to first say, holy fuck, 11 players. not bad. Next, my ability to GM is gonna be limited, as I have a real life, so I apologise if some of these results are fucking minimalistic, but even with the last game and about six regulars, I was taxed. IG has a real life too, and even less time then me. With that said. on with the show! I know a few other players, and if time permits, and wills allow it, we might have 3-4 GMs, with 2 regulars dedicated to roughly half the players each, until then.
---
A simple request: let me know in the form of a post here if you are gonna be gone for a while, or if you are gonna quit and abandon your tribe. Dont try to moderate for the GM, ill pipe up if i see a problem. If you and another player are good at it and want to GM for eachother, as some of you dont want to self GM all the time, go for it. Ill moderate if i see shit get out of hand. other then that, this is a game about telling a story. there is no win. if one of you wants to spend your entire game telling a story about farming, fuck it, go for it. if someone wants to build an empire, im here to make that happen too. so long as you arent out of hand, or try to fuck with other players, the world is your oyster.

>>20756792
Several members die exploring the depths. they cant go too deep, or too far, but with time and training they may be able to. The seaweed is abundant, some of it springs out with nasty barbs but the thick shell of the Cruelb protects them, and there are many simple prey animals like abbysal skrimp, and the oddly shamed hemfur. The volcanic region is pleasant to the cruelb. they like it. the wild life there is clustered around the volcanic vents, feeding off the nutrients. Skrimp are plentiful.
>>20757506
no caves found, many holo berries are gathered, as well as slow moving patouels, and some non toxic kreeb, which makes up for a poor hunt.
>>20758464
the current minders (those who exert control of water) can slowly swirl the water in front of them, almost imperceptibly. The plant grows slower, but so does ones whole body when in the deep, away from light. Many of the pits are connected, and reinforced.
>>20758838
Prey is full of meat, the tribe weaves pretty damn well, and makes simple nets, and even odd sheets of leaves. the surrounding region is rich in holo berries and fat holos.

>>20760635
new fishing techniques involve death by falling from great heights after getting tangled in the net. thankfully it was only one individual. Trees are very hard to craft and break or splinter instead of form nicely. wood smokes if constant friction is applied! food poisoning delays the journey. The small children are frequently prey for vicious Deros (shark sized red eel creatures). Pottery is made. ((im guessing you used d10 instead of 20, so im throwing you a bone. welcome, and no, your rolls are fine.))
>>20760738
The tribe can scrimshaw and carve pretty good, and make lots of little trinkets. Rope is rediscovered, made from local sea weed. The warriors are promising in their skills.

>>20760935
The tribe quadruples in size. Lezeal narrows his choice down to a few young prodigies. The island itself has some dangerous but meaty creatures...there seems to be a slight problem with Slizers. The nearby waters have some Nuro and Kafka in them, it is enough to feed the tribe. The innovation of trapping helps with food a lot, none will be hungry. Tridents for everyone. The hunters bumble more then they mean to.
>>20762124

>>20765079
Slizers are found to the west.
>>20765948
Chunks of coral are uprooted and reshaped into simple domes with a hole at the top. local kreeb and crub like creatures are abundant in the coral. non toxic thankfully. they are amusing to watch as they battle in tiny crab turf wars. Much seaweed and bone was harvested during exploration.

>>20766039
many males explode/ fry from the lightning dance, and now there are few males left to breed. they arent exactly the strongest, or best lookers either, but in order to maintain a population they will have to take multiple mates, which doesn't sit well with the females. The envoy sees some shelled squid and yells at them, to the effect of "you squid get off my property!" the squid are mindless and keep being squid.

I RULE BARTER TOWN!

also, did i forget anyone, any rolls? anything? Anyone?

to my players who self-GM'ed. great job. the stories were fun. You did well. Feel free to keep at it, or wait for a GM if you want that.

The Great Plateu is indeed great. The threeminds of the disciples are owerflown with joy. Surrounded by the Abyss illuminated by the Unconquered Light from above the Rah'na Ma'Re found a perfect place for settlement.

The Ra'na Ma'Re scouts found abundant resources: lot of movable stones, fields of dead and crumbled coral and a few caves leading into the plateu. As usual with spiritual creatures the creative threemind does it again: these piles are far from shelters and they are spread out very chaotically. This is not a settlement, more like an underwater trash dump.However it is fine, seek're spend most of their times by swimming around, the concept of a settlement is still very alien to them. Luckily the surrounding waters are ripe with prey, so food source won't be a problem. During meditation and practice some threeminds invent usefull things for the seek're:
shaped stones for crushing and cutting, large nets for pack hunting, nets for carrying.

Bumb.

>>20769901
Hive workers dig out more space under their rocky shelter, occasionally having to kick out a Tiji Nuro (formerly known as Neckbeard Nuros).
Outside of the shelter, the Hirohas have gathered many small piles of junk, including dead bits of Luscumat, shiny stones, and even bits of Howling Slizer shell.

While approaching some islands to the southeast, explorers would be chased off by a local Shrohan population (or hunted possibly. That could be fun. Caught in nets at the very least).

Decades pass, and the hive has grown even more. The hive-mind has begun to develop a sense of self, of sorts. Numerous Hirohas, one mind born of them all. It is currently immature, and begins to form some ideas on how the world around it works. Storms above the water are caused by Shrohans. The swaying of Ojos must create the currents of the water. It even begins to have thoughts about itself, as a sort of being that commands the small squids, a god of the Hiroha.
Space isn't the only issue for the hive. The size of the group attracts the unwanted attention of Howling Slizers. Drones bring back information of the Electric Rohas, which have repelled the Slizers from their own small caves. Instinct tells the Krittijik to get some of these Rohas to live around the hive.

Rolling for attracting Electric Rohas to the hive.

The population boom is seen as a blessing of Alis the sea goddess, and the Izileth celebrate it with great feasts. To secure food for these feasts, hunters are sent inland to capture prey.
It however soon becomes apparent that the tribe needs more room for these new mouths to feed.
Lezeal orders that new homes are to be built in in the frilla forest where the tribe lives.
Scouts are also sent to investigate potential new sites for a settlement. The main focus is on the lush inland frilla forests that grow around a freshwater lake that is sheltered by hills. The area could work as an excellent home for the future Izileth people.

The new basket traps are put to use, and many of them are placed in the shallow waters near the village. The females hope that these traps would bring a steady supply of food for the tribe, for now at least.

Lezeal gets the idea of developing a series of trials to test the apprentice candidates. These challenges aim to test the skills, strength, honor and cunning of these youngsters. Tests like diving to the reefs and returning with a fang of a slizer, generating powerful enough lightning to char the storm totems etc.
These tests shall be named "The Trials of Izil" and they will each be themed around some legend of the Storm Lord. (I will probably elaborate on them later)

This year's Storm Dance ritual was a great celebration in itself. Young hearts bound themselves together in eternal love, and none were struck down as unworthy by the thunder. This is extremely rare. Most often, many young, mostly male shrohans die in these rituals, as the thunder claims them. Their bodies are recovered by the tribe, if they are able to, and they are placed atop of poles that face towards the sea, to honor them in their attempt to prove themselves to be fit for adulthood.

The skeletons of the shrohans often stay up on these poles for many years.

The shrohan skeleton has 3 functions. Firstly, it provides support for the creature and attachment points for the large wing muscles of the shrohans. Secondly, it channels the electricity of the shrohans as the bones contain traces of metal the shrohans get from their diet and gnawing on stones. The shrohans use their skeleton to direct their electric powers, and receive signals from their sensory field. Thirdly, the skeleton also works as a "Faraday Cage" for the shrohans, protecting their vulnerable organs from too great currents.

The bones contain pockets of gas, and have a honeycomb structure, both these aspects serve to reduce the weight of the skeleton.

In the days that followed the great celebration of the Storm Dance, Fajil visits the grave totems. She is a relatively young female who lost the mate she had just chosen for himself during the Dance of yesteryear when he was struck down by a stray bolt of lightning.
She is there to mourn. There is not much a young widow like her. The changes of her finding a mate are very low, and she knows it. She helps her family to the best of her ability, she hunts and tends to the young.
But now, she seeks to visit the memorial totem of her mate.

The totem stands where it stood before. The skeleton of her mate shining in blueish hues.
Suddenly, she notices how pieces of the skeleton lying on the ground. The storm must have caused the damage!
She is angered, and quickly darts to the part in order to reattach it to the skeleton.
As she touches the bone, it suddenly sparks with electricity. This surprises and intrigues her, and she begins investigating the bone more.
(Unbeknownst by her, she generated enough electricity in her anger to cause it to be conducted by the bone.)

the hunt on land goes poorly, as does the construction of new homes. A monsoon has settled over the region. the frilla jungles are ripe with wild animals and potential new homes, as well of rumors that a two legged creature is about. the basket traps more then make up for the lack of sucessful hunts. perhaps the tribe are trappers? The trails are a bit coarse at first, somewhat impossible, but still, a new exceptional individuals rise to the challenge. One young male manages to grab a slizer fang, and blow apart a totem, then win a race against the other males.-- The young female has just made a significant connection about the bones. they are electric, and pose many uses. This is of course overshadowed by the loss of her mate still, but perhaps this discovery offers new purpose to her life.

Hey guys, I know I'm not as active as I used to be around here (and I don't even have a tribe this time 'round) but Fortune evo is still up and running. I know some of you play in both games, just let you know, the Abyss is still going, we had an event and everything.

To those who haven't heard of us, you are welcome to join, no experience necessary to play. If you've enjoyed this game, you may like this one too!

Hopefully Nad, NOTRIP, and the rest of the old guard will forgive this self-advertisement.

The rain is a blessing of the skies and the ocean, and the Izileth revere it, as the moist air amplifies their electric senses and makes them perceive the world more wholly. But now, the rainfall is hampering the efforts to make new basket huts. They decide to wait for the rains to end, before continuing their work. The shrohans don't mind getting wet.
In the mean time, some builders get the idea of trying to make a shelter underwater. The shrohans can breathe underwater and the ocean is like a second home to them, so why not build something there? The underwater shelter could keep trapped nuros in storage for example.

Some of the new families decide to settle in the inland jungle in hopes of finding a good home there. The lake and the jungles are teeming with prey, and the hills around the jungle are sure to attract the blessed storms.

Scouts are sent out to chart the whole island where the Izileth live and also investigate the rumors about the two legged creatures.

The food from the traps keep the food situation of the tribe stable for now. The hunters decide to train their tactics further, so that they could better provide for the tribe. Some fishers head to the western reef to test their luck there.

Lezeal begins to train the young male in the arts of the shaman. He will teach him the legends and myths of the tribe, and share his knowledge and techniques about leading, hunting, combat, electricity etc.

Fajil shows her discovery about the bones to her family. They are at first somewhat concerned about defiling the remains of their kin, but they too are also intrigued by the potential of the bones. Her father especially is curious of the way how the bone allows him to channel his electricity further than normal, as the current travels forward on the bone.
He gets the idea of placing shards of these bones to the tip of his spear, and tying a wet rope to it so the current would travel to the tip. (Water conducting electricity is basic knowledge to the shrohans. It is basically impossible for them to not learn it, considering where and how they live.)

All right, its storeh tiem

Long ago, the Old Korokai were a strong people. They were once spread out amongst several villages, more a collection of tribes than one individual tribe. They were however, bound by a common culture. Everyone owed fealty the Old Families, which controlled the overall activities of the Korokai. The Old Families feuded with each other, issuing boasts and proclomations, challenges and contests, intrigue and brawls abounded. The constant infighting between the Old Families kept the Korokai from growing, with the occaisonal feud resulting in a few discreet deaths, and sometimes in the deaths of entire bloodlines. Inovation was not valued, only deceit and strength.

It was this feuding that brought the entirety of the Korokai down. Three especially prominent families were having a dispute over newly discovered and plentiful hunting grounds in the form of an especially vibrant coral reef. Each contested that it had rights the area. One family claimed that, because they discovered the bounty the new grounds held, they should be granted control of it. A second insisted that, because they had ownership of all the other areas surrounding the reef, they should hold the reef as well, as it fell within their own lands. The third family claimed that the other families, being much smaller than the third family, would not be able to properly make use of the land, or gain as much food from the reef as the larger third family could. This at least, is what the Elders can recall of this particular feud.

>>20791454
A contest was to be held, to determine who would gain control over the newly discovered reef. All three families put forth several of their finest warriors, and they fought each other for days. To space out the fights of the three families, lesser fights took place, settling grudges and disputes amongst the lesser families and the Old Families that did not put forth any claim to the hunting grounds. Over two weeks the warriors of the Korokai fought, exhausting themselves. At the end, it was decided that a final three-way fight between the three families would decide once and for all who would have control over the hunting grounds. The families adjourned for the night, to let their warriors rest up after the exhausting weeks of combat. It was on this night that the Kruelbs struck.

The Cruelbs attacked the main settlement of the Korokai in the middle of the night. The warriors, depleted and tired from the contest, were unable to hold back the raiders. No defense could be organized, as the contest had made the Old Families even more distrustful of each other than ever before, leaving the town open the merciless tactics of the raiders. The Cruelb clan ravaged the town, slaugheting nearly everyone. On the next day, they moved out to overwhelm the rest of the Korokai in the villages. Those who survived would gather together, and flee east. The youngest children amongst these refugees would become the Elders that lead the Korokai today.

>>20791473
The story of the origins of the modern Korokai complete, the Elders retire to mourn over their respected brother in private, leaving the rest of the tribe to ponder over the story. They come to a consensus: The greed and ambitions of the Old Families brought the Korokai to ruin once, and that must never be allowed to happen again. To ensure that no indivdual family grows powerful by its connections, the tribe agrees that all relations beyond parent and child, and husbadn and wife are void and meaningless. Children are also toe be educated to work for the good of the tribe, and not for their own glory. The Elders, having returned from their mourning, are pleased by these sentiments, and make them official.

The tribe then sets to work learning more of the old ways. The hunters try to craft for themselves the weapons that were used by the hunters of the Old Korokai (tridents), while other members of the tribe work to make containers from the shells of keebs, lined with seakeed. Attempts are made to refine ropes further, to make them stronger, yet thinner, and to make nets out of them,

With a surprising wave of successes, the Skethiss become more organized. Leadership in the tribe is characterized by psychic strength, whomever has the will to coerce or browbeat the other members leads, and a pecking order following that is established. Nets and spears are useful for hunting and transporting things. With day to day life established, the tribe branches out.

With a few Electric Rohas gathered in the nooks and crannies around the hive, there is a feeling of security.

Expanding a bit on the hive-mind. Each individual female Hiroha has a level on intelligence comparable to a crow, making them actually quite intelligent, and excellent problem solvers. When together in large groups, a collective consciousness forms between them which is able to comprehend ideas that no individual Hiroha could even begin to fathom. They get a feeling of being part of something bigger than just oneself, but in a way still is. They also have memories that seem to be jibberish unless acting as part of the collective.

Rolling for the hivemind developing a sense of self, mental mapmaking of the region, and finding any potentially important landmarks on the ocean floor.

>>20784921
sorry about that man. Im not on my A game today. going in for an MRI and more surgery later this week, ill be around, but im gonna be a mess. you will get your results though.

the nets were first attempted to be dragged by just one male, now pairing up in teams of drones at each corner, much progress is made. the selp farm is pruned and organized, and it is discovered that one can eat some selp to augment the diet. nativly carniverous the tribe cant live off the stuff purely. Explorers were treated to a display of skrimp dancing and swiming in wild acrobatics during mating rituals. skrimp are about the size of a dolphin at their biggest. Female selective breeding was underway, and the next generation of females are a very minor improvement over the last generation, oddly enough, some of the children are hermaphroditic, having a weaker display then a true female, but also more mentally capable then a standard male. Study of the area reveals much coral, and food, as well as strange shapes overhead apparently out of the water. Simple camoflague was made. Coral can be influenced by shaping how it grows, putting offerings of food near the cozzel holes encourages the creatures to grow the coral mounds in certain directions.
>>20786382
all good man. sorry the thread died, but i look forward to the next stage. im gonna start a small evo for one thread as well in a sec.
>>20792434
(the arctic creatures and their game is far behind the current time line. not all species of holos are drawn, these are warm water things, like seals who migrate.) A simple spark of awareness was formed within the hive mind of the colony, not strong, but no longer purely instinctual. A vague understanding of the region, at least the limits of their area is formed. current landmarks are based off of particularly large chunks of coral, or sea weed forests.

>>20786600
the rains persist for about a month, and encourage new growth. The tribe sets back to work on frilla homes afterwards. The underwater shelter was not made, as the shrohans are weak physically, and could not combat the rough tides in their area, carrying the large objects. The few settlers that went inland were all killed by slizers. the tribe flies high above and scouts out the general shape of the island, as well as major land marks. The hunters grow in skill, learning to use their electrical attacks more frequently. The western reefs are full of dangerous prey like Dero, and kracken like creatures, even agressive breeds of tiji nuro. the young male is a quick study, and naturally gifted, somewhat larger, stronger, and smarter then his brethren. The bone spear tips break, but conduct electricity well. Perhaps the spear haft could be made of bone, or a slice of bone run along, or bonded to a coral tip. Scouts hunting for the two legged creatures come back with nothing, they are almost myth.
>>20791513
nice story man, you did good. Containers made from kreeb shells are not the best, but thats because of how they are killing the kreebs and damaging the shells. The attempt to make a trident failed miserably, this weapon made only had one spike?! A monodent?! who the hell uses a monodent! ((spears invented)). Crafters made fine nets, good for two swimmers carrying each side to scoop up scools of fish, or enemies. Rope improves somewhat, lasting longer now.

>>20791991
A really nice aquadrum is made, and its deep bass reverberations can be more felt then heard from far distances. every individual carries one, and uses them for communication outside of psychic range, as well as primitive music. Seekree are a very long lived race, ancient perhaps, but violence, disease, etc often claims lives. The tribe has avoided much death, and continued to breed, growing strong. Their telepathy allows them to vaguely sense some creatures, as well as apparently communicate vague ideas to other creatures.

With new huts, the new families can safely begin their preparations for their upcoming children. Many new pot frilla pools are made to house the larval shrohans. Some of the fishers get the idea of trying to preserve fishes by drying them in the sun so that the parents wouldn't need to task themselves with food gathering as much.
Other fishers try to develop a net, after seeing how fishes had gotten themselves stuck in the tangled up ropes of a basket trap that had broken.

The Izileth organize their hunters and warriors to drive out the slizers from inland jungle, so that their brethren would be avenged.
The female hunters will lure the slizers in the open, outmaneuvering the beings and dodging their spit attacks, while the males will try to fry them with their electric powers.

The scouts are sent out deeper to the eastern end of the island, that is largely unexplored by the Izileth. They suspect that the rumors of the two legged beings originate from there.

Lezeal continues to train the young shaman and his mate so that they could inherit his place.

The preparations go well, and the children will be enjoying a quality life, with lots of attention from their parents. The sun dried nuro and other foods help to keep the tribe well fed for a long time to come. Simple nets are made based off a loose basket weave. Scouts found a strange tribe of pink frowg like creatures. They are battling slizers with their own spears and weak electric shocks.The scouts dive to attack the slizers, blasting them with electric shocks and spear attacks. The slizers are driven off and even a few are killed. The Frowgs are awed by the display of electricity from the scouts, and cheer. They offer some of their rations to their saviors. The new shaman and his mate are a little slow to learn, rather caught up in young love, but still, the training settles in. The old shaman can only sit back and shake his head, but secretly approve. The shock spears are now functional and durable. They become a family heriloom, each dead relative added to the spear as it needs repairs.

Thanks ng, these results are appreciated.
I will be able to participate more in the tribal game, as well as the arctic evo game this weekend. I have plenty of plans and ideas so I hope the threads stay alive.

I wonder if people have already dropped out from this game.
It seems so silent here, and there are only a couple of the old time regulars playing.

The Korokai continue to develop their basic technologies. Containers, while failure so far, sound extremely useful, and nearly everyone spends a little bit of time trying to fit pieces of shells together, and bind them up with seakeed or something else, almost like a game.

The warriors continue to try to craft the weapons that were used by the hunters and warriors of the Old Korokai, that the tribe might be better defended, and that their hunts will be easier.

Some enterprising rope makers try and plant seakeed seeds near the new homes of the Korokai, so that they will have a ready supply of seakeed for ropes in the future.

The nets are wonderful, but they'd be better if they slowed down prey a bit more. One enterprising warrior ties rocks to his net, to make it weigh more. Will others copy him?


Following the epic tale of their fall during the mourning of Rengle, there is a burning desire in the Korokai to rebuild their culture, bigger and better than it was before the Flight. Children are gathered, and their skills examined, to determine what role in the tribe they might play to ensure the return of the glory of the Korokai. This all fine and dandy, but its going to take decades before the tribe even comes close to the size and power of the Old Korokai. Nevertheless, they press on with the training of the children, hoping that distinct societal roles and the absence of large connected families will ensure a stable society that won't be easily toppled like the Old Korokai

The stupid and ineffective monodent becomes a GLORIOUS FUCKING TRIDENT!!!! Decked out, made of a coral body, sea shell tips, and wrapped in bitchin seaweed, its pretty fucking sweet. Seakeed farming goes well, but some fat bastard is eating part of the crop. we are all looking at you Selp Holo. Containers are finally made, they are an exercise in art as much as function. An ecclectic mix of shells, bones, coral, and seaweed. Weighted nets work like a charm. The tribe forms several casts- Famers/ Children raisers, Crafters/ builders, Hunters/ Forragers. The youngest children live with the farmers, then graduate onto the crafters, finally growing up with the hunters.

>Making up a few silly little landmarks.

The drones use a number of landmarks to guide their way back to the hive, or to avoid dangerous locations. Short of six leagues to the southwest, there's the den of an Eastern Jet Slizer, better known as the Howling Slizer. Distinguishing rock formations there are associated with the danger of the area.
Not much farther to the north, there's a region where the water becomes unusually hot, and is painful to swim through.
At the farthest point known to the hive, is an old Colony Luscanemat.
Between all of this is a spire of stone jutting up from the center of the deep regions. The way which it leans points back to home.
The southeast is still relatively unknown, as the Shrohans there have something against the Krittijik Hiroha hive.

While out hunting some drones see that some creatures that they hunt will try to eat Ojos, especially the tubers of the common and crab species. This information is brought back for the hivemind to interpret.

The hermaphrodites overcome a communication error between them and the females, and are able to help aid the males in construction of the coral shelters, however progress is slow. The skrimp are large dolphin sized creatures, outweighing the tribe by a significant amount, but are wrangled sucessfully. they are dumb animals and easy to capture, contain, and breed. basking holo lazilly swirl around the tribes location feeding on plankton, while laying a massive amount of eggs. Basking Holo caviar is a favorite food. attempts to domesitcate a slizer went very poorly. Explorers notice strange artificial islands on the surface, quite small, and moving. always. The sides are very slick. Selective breeding again fails to yield desired results, and sadly the male population is eliminated, now completely replaced by the hermaphrodites. While neither as strong as the males, or as smart as the females, they are more capable then either in their degree of autonomy, they also have brighter communications then the former males.
>>20806493
The attempt to use ojo's as bait fails when the crabs poorly constructed pen opens up. Ojo's are everywhere, and creatures just come to the tribe at random to snack. thankfully its skrimp, tiji nuro, and skinny holos, however they also go after the tribe's eggs.

there is some friction but the status quo is maintained, with physical strength being appreciated in secret. Kelp grafts are a bit rough and not the cure all ones had hoped for, but they do the trick to stop bleeding. The group cant influence thoughts, but can only project their own. The psychic thoughts they offer to primitive minds helps keep away some of the mid tier predators. a very moderate improvement to shelters is made.

the work skrimps quickly supplant the loss of males, and are even dumber and easier to control then they were.

The "farmers" are really more guards. They only make sure that no more Selp Holo eat the seakeed, though the "farmers" find that the Selp Holos are good eating, and they allow them to get close enough to kill, but they don't let them eat more than a mouthful of seakeed bfero killing them. One "farmer" decides to take this a bit further, and tries to plant a crop of seakeed specifically for the Holos.

A few scouts are sent out to find a good outcropping of rock that reaches up to level 2, from which all the Korokai can sunbathe, and allow the seakeed parts of their bodies to better photosynthesize than in the murky depths of level 3

Other scouts are sent out to explore the areas surrounding the home of the Korokai. This place is their new home, but they still don't know all that it has to offer. Hopefully the scouts can change that.

Off in the far, far distance scouts report a giant spire. Holos a stupid, and easy to control with food. domestication goes smoothly. A lack of good territory near the surface makes it hard to find a place to lounge in the sun without having to swim. Bones are used as eating utensils. Armor is not developed.

Acclamation to depth 5 is pretty quick, but many of the weaker individuals in the tribe die. over half. Food is scarce too, but with a smaller population its not such a big deal. The survivors of this generation start digging deep in hopes of finding something good.

The net and hook nearly pull one of the tribe members up with it, a strange two headed creature peeks over the side of the island seeing the little squid like creature snap their fishing implements. Continued selective breeding results in more potent displays of light, and stronger larger workers. Labor skrimp are hard to catch in the wild, and slow breeding continues to be the only option. Coral grows wildly entombing some of the tribe's eggs, hurting the population, and the attempt to spread out further divides the tribe as some of the "families" get lost. they may be able to be recovered.

So expect some NPC interaction in a bit, even though the southern polar evo game has not gotten too much love the Holori are gonna be waddling into a story near you. The two headed swag bords have been up to something, apparently mining, etc. Cruelb are doing what cruelb are doing.

I need to know who is still playing, out of the fuck ton of initial tribes, as those who dropped off are going to become NPCs or background filler.

Skethiss is still here, it just updates at a slower pace and is pretty far away from everyone else.

With the leadership of the tribe maintained, the strength followers become a hidden cult withing the tribes hunters and scouts, the "Cult of the hunter" respects personal power above all else.

These militants develop better tools for hunting (hunting is not entirely necessary as scavenging and photosynthesis makes up a large portion of their diet) the tribe also attempts to domesticate some local sealife and scout the area.

The hunters develop in secret a powerful weapon to aid them on the hunts. They may not be as psychically powerful,but are physically stronger now. This weapon can send barbs of coral or even surface detritus from far away. The pole net is made, based on the skills gained from the sling. Attempts to make a pole spear and netted pole result in an overly ambitious and very long shaft that is too unwieldy to use. The hunters have been battling slasher kafkas for months now, and a few of the smaller frys (young ones) that have been found were hand raised with bits of meat. They are small, pack oriented, and aggressive, but now these young predators view your tribe as their pack. hunting dogs. scouts keep disappearing.

Might Korokai are here.

The scouts who were searching for a sunbathing spot, and the scouts who found the spire return to the Korokai settlement. The Elders are pleased to hear that they'll likely be getting a sunbathing spot despite the scouts dedicated to that purpose finding nothing. The scouts, all of them, are sent to explore this giant spire.

The hunters and warriors attempt to refine their tridents, taking rough rocks and using them to smooth out the rough spots on the prongs, making for easier penetration, and less drag from the water. However, tridents are melee weapons, and the Korokai have no way of hitting prey or enemies from afar at the moment. Some of the more imaginative warriors set about making a spear specially designed for being thrown.

The tribe is very small right now, and if the Korokai are to regain and eventually surpass the glory of their ancestors, they must gain more numbers. Parents arrange marriages, and soon several dozen new couples are made. The newly weds retire to secluded location, to help the future of the tribe.

The Farmers now dedicate a great deal of time to their crops of seakeed. Different areas are left aside to either Holo feeding, and rope making. A few farmers try and select better types of seakeed for the rope-making fields, and large, nutritious seakeed for the Holos.

Following the discovery of the Slizers in the west, the small Kuzmoto scout returns home at a swift pace. She relays information of the Slizers to Elder Kuz. As she tells her story, Kuz begins to chuckle and says, "Know you not what you are? You are a daughter of Pzatow, a child of the Raging Clouds. You say these monsters are scary and powerful, but are they be scarier than a howling windstorm? Could they be more powerful than a flashing tempest?"
The scout, Skeeli, finds comfort in the words of Kuz. She thanks him for his wisdom, and exits the cave, thinking of the power of Pzatow, and the gifts the god has given to the Kuzmoto. If she could only make storms as beautiful and powerful as Pzatow, then those monsters would be the ones fearing HER.

With our newly connected body pits the Griz'Chitan begin collectively organizing their society enlarging their pits and assigning different uses like living areas and storage pits. A larger pit is dug in the approximate center of the pit areas that will act as a great hall / eating area, with smaller pits for food prep and storage adjoining.

Other Griz'Chitans start working on better techniques to observe and capture prey, exploring their immediate area for possible species to use as food and possible resources to enhance the pits.

The Izileth warriors are confused by the adoration of the frowg people. They accept the rations the frowgs give them, and start preparing to clear out the rest of the hostile fauna in the inland jungle, so that the settlers could establish the new village safely. The settlers themselves begin building the village in the canopies of the forest at the edge of the great lake.
Some of the warriors try to observe the frowgs, as the Izileth have never encountered other intelligent species. Few even approach the frowgs. They themselves present the frowgs dried fishes, and a shock spear.

The shock spears are mostly ritualistic, they are far too precious to be used for menial tasks as hunting, but they serve a role in training one to better focus one's electric powers, as well as meditation tools. Many warriors train themselves to focus by trying to channel their powers trough the spears in set intervals and patters. The warriors think that this meditation will help them to use their powers in combat better.

In the main village, the shaman's role has now fallen on the young male, as Lezeal has fallen ill, and is very weak. The new shaman, Djal heads out to find some sort of remedies to his master's sickness from the island while his mate tends to the old shaman.

The fishers of the village get the idea of using the nets they developed to catch flying critters for additional food.

a few lost family members are recovered, but the others are scattered to the tides, perhaps to return in future events. Coral crafting results in a field of long lance like spikes that are quite dangerous. Thanks to the hermaphrodites all members of the tribe can help repopulate, and numbers quickly recover. The selp tenders use sharpened skrimp plates to cut back the forest, and then store the leaves to ferment as food.

Society turns slowly, with communal sharing becoming the part of culture. Some pits collapse, the flimsy construction of the great hall collapses as well. Prey is abundant in the region, just gotta catch it. Selp, seakeed, and coral are in moderate supply. Chasing prey as a mob doesn't work too well, but its good enough.

The jungle is dangerous, and unfamiliar territory, attempts to clear it go poorly, but fresh game is captured and the tribe will eat well tonight. The frowgs are impressed. Inland settlement is abandoned as it is too dangerous right now. The frowgs are electric in nature, and somewhat gregarious. The frowgs love the warriors, and are impressed with their gifts. Meditation yields no new skills, natural medicine is not discovered, but the frowgs rub balm on some of the warrior's injuries. Nets are excellent for catching the flying creatures of the forest.

Many teams come back with scattered reports of prey in the area no definitive sightings of large heards. Other groups come back with reports of near by selp fields that would work for production. The Griz'Chitan that remained practiced sparing and have developed rudementry combat tekniques which will help take down prey at a more efficent rate.

about a year later a large portion of the lost come back, with even more children in tow. The spikes turn into a sort of giant bramble bush that the tribe lives in. attempts to use spears to capture larger prey fail, as does using a spear to stop an island. The selective breeding yields more capable hermaphrodites that are slowly edging out the females. Almost as smart and visually bright as the females, just as strong as the males of old.

As the seek're communicate via psyonics the Leader is known as ClawStern.

The Militant leader organizes teams of the population to develop different aspects of their society.
One team is focused on recovering pits that had caved in and reconnecting them to the other pits again.

another team is allocated to group hunting prey and testing out the new strategies in the field.

a larger team is sent out to collect coral, selp, and seakeed. for use in fortifiying structures. They are also tasked with finding ways to re-work the coral. Primarily for use in covering the pits.

ClawStern organizes several small groups of Griz'Chitan Seek're to work on expanding knowledge. At the current time Clawstern has 2 groups to assign towards R&D
the first group is comprised of the strongest psyics and is currently attempting to strengthen their water control
the second group is comprised of a diverse group of members and is working toward learning more about the flow of the waters they inhabit.

The scouts that were sent to the spire ((the library, but I'm calling it The Spire as that's what the Korokai will call it)) are.... unsettled. Those that hear the voice(s) begin to try to talk to them, much to the concern of their comrades. The scouts decide to split into two groups, one heading upwards, the other will head downwards. Both groups will go their designated directions ins a spiraling pattern, circling round The Spire. The scouts attempt to take samples of coral from The Spire to bring back with them.

Attempts are made to refine the harpoon, as it has less drag than a thrown trident. Some hunters try and carve the heads of their harpoons so they have hooks, to prevent them from slipping out easily.

The containers of the Korokai are only for storage of food, bones and seakeed in large amounts at the moment. Smaller things, like bone knives, or extra tirdent/spear heads aren't easily carried around. Smaller containers that can be attached to loops of seakeed are made, for the korokai on the go!

Skeeli's meditations, and the resulting electric shockwave, have given the young Shrohan something of an epiphany. What her people need, and what they sorely lack, is a focus, an instrument from which they can channel their powers. Skeeli darts off back to the caves, looking for anything that can be used as a focus.

In the mean time, word of the Slizer in the west has spread among the Kuzmoto, and a force of twenty or so hunters have gathered together, preparing themselves to hunt this great beast.

Fighting in the dense jungles is hard for the shrohans, as they can't properly use their flight to their advantage. The coastal jungle in where they live is far less dense, allowing them to maneuver there easily enough, but the inland jungles are completely different. Thick canopies, clustered undergrowth, these things make it hard for the shorhans to fly fast without hitting branches or trunks, which in turn seriously hampers their combat abilities in the jungle.
Because of this, some of the warriors consider the jungle a fool's errand, though the lither female hunters are still considering re-attacking, after training to better maneuver in the jungle of course.

One of the warriors gets the idea of trying to convince the frowgs to aid in clearing the jungle. Convincing them may be hard however, as the two species do not know each other's language. He tries to impress the frowgs enough so that they would follow the warriors to the jungle and aid them in the fight against the hostile creatures.

Meanwhile in the village, Lezeal has succumbed to the illness and his age, making Djal the new shaman. Thankfully he learned most of the important skills he will need before his master died. His first deed as a shaman is making a great ritual staff from the bones of his master, so that he could participate in the tribe's life even in death. Happier news are that the new children of the tribe have started to hatch. The larval shrohans grow fast, and thus it will only be a couple of months before they will be ready to be taught the Izileth ways. The mate of the new shaman thinks that with the current amount of children there needs to be organized teaching to ensure that the children learn what they must. She sets to work on the idea.

The spire coral, when taken away from the spire behaves exactly as normal coral. there is something special there. The area around the spire is of little note, just littered with various bits of detritus. Old shipwrecks, bones, coral, rocks. etc. ((combining several rolls)) A more careful exploration of the spire reveals chambers that exist for a while before being closed up, but while those chambers are opened the scouts commune with what they claim to be a great spirit. It identifies itself as "the library" and speaks clearly of things far beyond their understanding, places beyond this world, times long since gone, and what it calls technology and they can only understand as magic. The intelligence that is the library has no apparent emotion or motive. It seeks upkeep, and requests custodians to live in it's great labyrinth to help maintain it's "facilities".

the population increases by over half its original size. The hunters are missing in action and assumed eradicated :(, at the same time the Elders are badly injured by the slashers, leaving the younger generation in charge for the time being. The creation of a psychic bond is very possible, but once forged, is unbreakable. To leave your bond mate, to be beyond the reach of the link is to know agony. This ritual is both potent and dangerous. It obvious gives greater benefits with larger groups, and at the same time increases overall weakness due to lack of mobility.

Attempts to learn how to navigate the jungle are met in dismal failure, with frowgs looking on shaking their heads and sighing. When one warrior finally grows so frustrated as to hold up a spear and arch electricity from it, then charge into the jungle on tail and claw, the frowgs hoot and cheer following along with their hatchets. The language barrier is there, but apparently the frowgs like electricity, and fighting. The afternoon is a productive one, with two strange races fighting back to back against the wilds. the shaman staff is impressive, and takes a fair amount of strength to wield. Schools are very much a work in progress, and right now represent almost a centralized daycare, in time with more helpers it will grow.

When the teams arive back from the hunts and resouce gathering missions ClawStern absorbs their information and directs them to share it with the others. The aquatic slizers are concerning, however they present a oppoturnity to develop the Griz'Chitan fighting skills further. Clawstern organizes smaller packs of hunting parties adding one psychic to each team and directing them to work together and hopefully bring back some prey using their combined abilities. Up until this point the Griz'Chitan have been surviving off of photosynthisis. This method of feeding while functional is slow and having some prey meat would help speed their growth.

With the new understanding of material resources being shared among the colony several ideas come up for utilization of the new materials, but due their current scarcity Clawstern restricts their access for research teams only. He does however gather up the idea-creators and designates them into a new research group to further understand the coral, slep, and seakeed to search for possible applications such as netting, containers, roofing for pits.

Clawstern praises the progress of the psyonic development team and encourages them to continue developing their skills, asking that they develop stronger methods of communication, hoping for a type of language to develop beyond conveying emotions, feelings, and ideas phychically, pushing more for telepathy.

>>20836682

After spending many nights listening to the Water current research team Clawstern fully appricates the implications of what they have discovered. He rewards them with some time off to go to depth level 2 and relax. After they return from their R&R he directs them to start looking into increasing the speed of traversing the water currents and asks them to explore around the colony's location for currents to utilize.

The population size of the Griz'Chitan has not increased due to their limited understanding of their combined organism that makes them what they are. Clawstern realizes that this will soon become a defining factor if the Griz'Chitan ever want to expand and directs some of his people to focus on researching each other in an effort to further understand their physical properties. Hopefully a method of producing more Seek're will come of this, but learning basic medicine would be usefull as well.

The combined talents of the Psychics and the experienced hunters meld together and create unified groups that communicate quickly with each other to hunt down prey and defend themselves. They also develop the understanding of using different styles of attacks to herd prey into ambushes.

The Hunt however goes very poorly even with advanced tatics and only a few prey specimines are brought back, about enough to feed 1/20th of the midsized Griz'Chitan population.

Materials research proceedes and the ability to weave selp is discovered the research team has created some prototype netting with the communitys small supply and has made progress on developing the ability to re-work coral. nothing definitive for construction but they can break down the coral into smaller chunks now using their claws.

The Team working on communication skills has come up with a slightly more advanced way of communicating, vivid sharing of recent expericanes is now possible via psychic link. Now fellow Griz'Chitan can experiance a form of memory sharing, which is an improvement from conveying emotions, feelings, and ideas. However, the Griz'Chitan can only share events within the last 2 days. Possibly more research can yeld better results.

The group working on understanding the current further doesn't make much headway on traveling faster through the current, but their exploratory searching around in the waters around their home reveals three directions that currents are flowing, one flowing towards them and two flowing away.

Physical research of Griz'Chitan bodies goes poorly and the team has no additional understanding of how their symbosis between their connected organisms works. At least no one died.

With the aid of the frowgs, the Izileth warriors managed to clear the jungles enough for the settlers to retry their attempts of building a village there.
In the process, the warriors had grow somewhat fond of the frowgs. They fought with honor and bravery and their adoration of the electric powers of the shrohans made them worthy allies in the eyes of the warriors.
The existing language barrier however keeps the shrohans from properly communicating with the frowgs, and thus, while the settlers were attempting to once again build the new village, the shrohan warriors tried to figure out how to communicate with the frowgs.

Despite the change in leadership, the Izileth tribe continues it's life much in the same way as it has for generations. Fishing is conducted, and hunters return with fresh game while the children are taught about the ways of their people. Djal's mate, Izal continues to refine the idea of centralized teaching. The children are taught the basics of the life in the tribe trough games, and eventually she plans on them slightly participating in the duties of the adults.
She also has taken up the task of making sure of the healthy growth of the children. She tries to ensure that each child will get proper food, gnawing stones (for mineral iron to their skeleton) and physical exercise so that they will grow strong.

Lezeal's sudden demise meant that large amounts of his knowledge and wisdom were lost with him, as he hadn't managed to teach them to Djal yet. Because of this, Djal has decided to try to develop some sort of method to record knowledge in a way that would allow it to be preserved to the next generations.

Rolling for:
Settling in the jungle.
Figuring out how to communicate with the frowgs.
Improving the school system.
Developing heath care for the children.
Developing writing.

God fucking dammit, are you fucking shitting me with those rolls?
Fucking dice gods...

I should probably make some rolls, to at least help bump the thread


The scouts that hear the voices pledge themselves to the Library. The other scouts are... less than willing to join them. Only a couple of those that can't hear the voices, both them sons of scouts who can hear them, stay behind. The rest of the scouts return to Korokai village. The Elders are split on the issue of this... Library. Some are fascinated, and wish to learn more about it, while others are wary, and fear that it's a trap, maybe even by Cruelbs. A debate rages for a week, after which it is decided that three elders and their families will journey to the Library, to learn its secrets, and offer it protection. This amounts to roughly forty of the Korokai, not an significant number with their given size.
