So it's closer to two hours for dinner. Assign clan magic and we'll get on with the important business of taking the Stag Hearths for everything they're worth.

>>28279403

Hail, Heort-Son, Fimbul-Chief!
See you there the people of your clan! See you there, Heort-Son, Dastandros Long-Beard, oldest of the carls, whose home is ash at Stag-Hearth hands.
See you there, Heort-Son, Fedarkos Silversmith, whose forge lies consumed not by the flame within, but by Stag-Hearth flames.
See you there, Heort-Son, Hindala Daugter of Enastarra, God-Speaker, whose shrine shall go to ruin for lack of sacrifices.
See you there, Heort-Son, Enerin Daughter of Beneva? Nay, you see her not, held in foul thrall-dom by Stag-Hearth chains.
See them, Heort-Son, and wax wroth whither the Stag-Hearts, despoilers, enemies, instigators of kinstrife.

Call on Humakt, that he imbues the Thanes with the power of the sword called Death! Raise the fyrd, and pass you stout axe and stout spear and stout shields to man and women both, Orlanth and Vinga at their backs!

Hail, Heort-Son, Fimbul-Chief, guardian, leader, conqueror, bring fury, bring vengeance against Stag-Hearth knaves.

>>28279403

No reason to do anything else if you can afford to

Well, there is, in that stocked clan magic acts as a luck modifier.

This is my recommendation for what it's worth. We can pick what heroquest to run at the end of the year, add another treasure to the stock if nothing else.

Holy shit. If only he weren't a Elmal-worshipper.

Actually... we could switch out Jarstakos for Baranthos, then switch Elmalandti for this new young Uraldan, which will benefit our herds and herd magic. I was just going to heal everyone up in preparation for raiding season, but this is very promising.

The is Sea season, so it's not quite raiding time yet. We have two months to prepare. Here's what we can do:

We can heal everyone up. That will cost goods or cattle.

We can rearrange our clan ring, which could greatly benefit our warring ability.

We can hire more weaponthanes. Up to six more.

We can sacrifice to Humakt for Battle Luck.

>>28279704
Do all of those. Hire all six weaponthanes. Heal everyone up. Sacrifice to Humakt.

The Stag Hearths won't know what hit them.

>>28279740
We can only do two of those things. Time restraints full.

>>28279740
Can only do two before Fire season. We're starting the raiding party early this year. We'll do the other two in Earth season.

Oh, actually, that gives me an idea. We'll do the healing in Earth season. So pick two of three:

>thanes
>ring
>Battle Luck

Keep in mind that the Battle Luck is temporary unless enshrined.

>>28279785
Ring and thanes

>>28279785
Rings and Thanes.

Goodbye Elmalandti. If you ever hit heroic combat yourself we might bring you back in.

>>28279948
That option went unselected. I'm not giving the thanes extra gifts. That's an option you use to not ruffle their feathers when you bring in more people.

>>28279962
That was the first ritual we enshrined.

>>28280007
Actually no it isn't.

Choosing from outside the clan may or may not get you the number of weaponthanes you want. Adding gifts onto that simply makes it so you get the exact number you want. Choosing from within the clan lowers your total number of farmers/hunters/crafters. That's the only mechanics that go into it.

The Old Owls want us to kill a Chaos walktopus creature for them. They can't do it themselves because their thanes were hurt fighting the Jenestni. That's a pretty legit reason to help right there.

Or we can demand a treasure as payment.

Certain enemy factions are much more powerful than the Orlanthi clans; the trolls, the Lunar Empire, the allies of the Marsh Ducks, etc... Pissing these factions off enough can cause apocalypse events to go off; these are events that you can not avoid and get no choices in which generally lead to a massive loss of life, property, and valuables for your clan or tribe. In SOME cases, you can recover, but most apocalypses lead to no other option but to pack up the clan and accept defeat.

Bump.

>>28282074
2 in war, 1 in trade I'd think. We should send out at least one or two trade missions while wrecking stag hearths.

And yeah, we should start claiming the fuck out of their land. Steal as much as we can, until the Stag Hearths are no more.

>>28285794
With maybe 2 more in crops so we can take full advantage of Ernalda Feeds the Tribe boosting grain production.

I need a little more than two hours to finish up here, we'll be picking up again soon.

>>28285859
That'll leave us with only 1 magic in reserve, that a good idea? We want full war potential, and we should probably milk the trade thing for all it's worth right?

>>28286206

Reserve is great and all, but we can always go into negatives. Plus a point in war is a point in every battle, not just one.

There are a few ways to get around low reserve. Completing heroquests nets you some magic, and we can raid during Dark season for a bonus.

Here's my suggested expenditure for the year. I checked. Baranthos and Leika will on their feet by Fire season so we'll be in fine raiding form.

All heroquest choices also test your clan magic as a significant factor...

372 KB PNG

Beating your ancestral enemy is also worth a few points of magic.

>>28287805
There are other factors that go into it, like the god the quester follows, their stats, how well the clan knows the myth, how many points you invested in Quests, how long it's been since the last quest, and the answers you give during the quest.

We could probably do Orlanth or Ernalda, but we've got a busy schedule for the year.

Ah crap, bit of bad news. See the map? Our territory doesn't border the Stag Hearths. We can't jack their land. Since the Jenestni are paying us tribute, we can't raid them until next year, so we can't get to the Stags for at least two years.

On the upside, any steads we burn now will making future raids easier.
