>Merfolk in desert
you control six merfolk in a river in the middle of a desert. three are male and three are female. One male and One female have legs. The river is 5 foot deep and travels from North to South. Along the sides are reeds. What do?

I propose a dam so we can get to work on our love nests asap.

We should start in like, a little oasis or something but be forced to evolve supah quick you know!? IT ONLY DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IF YOU WON'T LET IT.

>>27894032
you try your weaving skills out some more and create a net/wall that drapes over the south side of your current residence. this takes half a day but it has already stopped a few small, delicious fish.

>>27894072
Okay, so we definitely need to work on the net. Weave more reeds to make nets further north, See if we can catch more fish up there, maybe make a settlement 'tween the two of them.

>>27894591
Lillends are generally peaceful unless they intend vengeance against someone they believe guilty of harming, or even threatening, a favored art form, artwork, or artist. Then they become implacable foes. They use their spells and spell-like abilities to confuse and weaken opponents before entering combat. A covey of lillends usually discusses strategy before a battle.

A lillend’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

this can't be good for the egg

>>27895129
The reeds are dying but still there am I correct? Listen up motherfucker, shit's about to get complicated, We should stay by the plains, plains can grow things. Cut some reeds and simply stick them in the mud in a sort of reed fence around the egg, put leaves over it so the water is absorbed by the reeds and leaves and is constantly keeping the egg wet. We are staying here, in the 3 foot river by the plains.

currently it is in one of the females egg pouch (not legged)

yay, Lamaar gets to kill things, he likes killing things. He swings hitting crabs with the pointed parts smashing them to pieces (but still salvageable) while the more intelligent merfolk create nets of seaweed. These nets are much stronger and could possibly be used to disable predators.
the sun is almost setting and the egg in *insert name here*'s pouch is to big for her to carry around anymore but the tide is trying to carry in away. What do?

that will work. Hell, the net's heavy enough without the merfolk. Za'than for male or female?

Female, another male should be named Ro'Shan, then Tali, the female, Rosha the male, Crosha, his sister (But it doesn't really fuckin matter right?) That covers it???

yep
here are the people
Lamaar - legged Male, low intellegence, high strength- 5 days old
Za'than - Legged Female, high intelligence - 5 days old
Ro'shan - Male - 5 days old
Tali - Female, Mother - 5 days old
Rosha - Male - 5 days old
Crosha - Female - 5 days old

The egg is safe under the net, but everyone is hungry. Lamaar the strong has gotten plenty of crab meat, enough to last days.

So are our people actually 5 days old or is that some kind of game abstraction? Because I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a race that reaches sexual maturity in under 5 days having an "average" breeding rate.

Not criticism, I'm honestly curious since it changes quite a bit in how best to approach the situation.

>>27895326
Everyone is asleep but Crosha. The sun starts to rise and with a new day comes a new member of this family. A baby girl. This girl is incredibly beautiful, with colorful scales and human features that could end a war.
What's her name and what would you like her to specialize in (diplomacy, fighting, scavenging, ect,)?

it's to make the game faster. Humans have the same aging rate while elves take 10 days before they'll die of old age. This way we can have more babies faster

He picks up a round white rock from the ground. "I have been discovered!" it shouts. The rest of the skeleton emerges from the sand and attaches it skull back on. "Spy" Za'than states.
