Next to the river. On our side, not the other side. The other side is probably full of goblines. Fucking goblines ruin everything.

The order is given, and many of the tribesmen help pack up the simple fur tents and travel to the Riverside, next to where the River is deepest and many of the tribesmen claim to see things in the water swimming around.

The people quickly set up the tents and others scout around a little for roughly a mile around, and nothing of true interest except for a small bit of rocks near the river to the north.

>>41200119
The village is starting to take shap a few mud huts and a bit of things scavanged from the river found a few things including fish. Some like the taste and others simply put up with it.

As well, they find odd bits of wood floating down the river, bird feathers at the end of a broken stick with odd symbols along it. The Elder, who's name is Songwalker says this is a bad omen.

A: Go up the river, see if there is anything of interest.

As a few of the tribesmen go up river, they find a few odd items as they found floating down the river. Bits of ripped up cloth, pieces of odd colored stone, and finally they crest a hill and see a small camp. Not unlike their own, though it seems to be deserted for the most part.

The tents and small huts seemed to have been burnt to the ground and a few tiny bodies are strewn about everywhere.

The scouts, a couple of young men armed with sharpened sticks and hardened by the fire pit as useful hunting spears more than anything else. Make camp behind the hill, a few standing watch throughout the time to make sure nothing would come and fuck with them.

After the sunsets, something seems to cross the river quickly, then another and another. Three humanoid figures hunched over with something shining in the moonlight poke through the camp. Sometimes knocking down the ruins of what used to be a hut and letting out a gutteral laugh that echos around for a while....

Before the moon reaches it's full height a fourth figure, larger than the other three and well over the height of a man wades through the river, carrying what seems to be a large log and takes something from the smaller humanoids and lumbers back through.

The collection goes on for another hour before the trio finally runs back through the river and into the forest. Lighting no torches as they wander into the darkness.

A: Go explore the Ruined Camp.
B: Go try to find what that was in the woods.
C: Go home and warn the village.
D: Write in. Shit dawg.

The scouts clean up their campsite, and return to the village. They tell the tale to the hunters and fishers, a new caste of elders who use it to help feed the tribe along with children who use sharpened sticks to practice. All is not well it seems when word spread.

A few things are possible now, but what will the chief order?

A: Build some sort of defenses around the village.
B: Go across the river, try to find these creatures.
C: Send more men to scavange what is left of the ruined village.
D: Send a group of scouts to go further north, see if there is anything there.

"Defences, we must build a wall!" The chief declares, and quickly the men who are not out on the plains hunting have started to collect wood. Some they find floating down the river, others from a few trees that have fallen across. Quickly a small wall is build around the village, going up to the waist of he average villager.

As night falls, a few hunters are set on each of the corners to watch for anything odd. As the time goes on, one rushes back leaving his partner to wake the chief who was sharpening a few new spears for his people....what is it?

As the chief runs out, hearing the calls from the other villagers of a creature coming closer to the village. The villagers stay behind the walls, while the warriors and the chief run out to investigate carrying torches.

What it was, was odd a stout figure who was carrying a large thing that looked like a club with something shiny on two ends at the top.. The chief was the first to approach it. It had something covering it's mouth, and seemed to be wearing stones over it's body.

It quickly fell as the chief got close enough to catch it. He stared at it and motioned for others to help him carry the thing back to his hut, and taking the weapon with sharp bits that shone in the moon light.

It was guarded by the hunters, and awoke the next morning and seemed to walk around in the little 'hut' it was given to be kept inside. Quickly removing the stone skin and looking around barking something until one of the Elders woke the Chief who had spent the night inspecting the weapon.

A: Go visit the odd bugger.
B: Order it killed.

The Chief rises to the occassion and walks to the hut where the creature is being guarded. Two of the hunters who found it follow him inside and it seems to be dressed in oddly colored furs. It stares at the three and glances to the weapon the chief set against the wall.

It points at it and makes a motion of 'Gimme' and the chief shakes his head. The two seem to play the game of charedes before the creature tugs on the long bit of fur hanging from it's face and nods to itself before going through the pack it had been found holding.

It opens it up, as none of the tribes wanted to touch the oddly smelling creature in case it attacked them in it's stone skin. It brings out a small jug, and motions for the Chief to drink out of it. Showing it was safe before the Chief drank from it and felt the odd pleasent sensation of burning in his throat.

The creature grinned as they began to sit, drawing pictures of things in the dust as the creature showed more things in it's pack. A few sharp knives made of the same thing as the stone skin. These were given to the guards who stested them on the walls that had them make good gouges.

The creature seems rather peaceful, and makes a motion of something large that had attacked it, and drove it away from it's home from what seemed be beyond the cairns. It also seems to want to go back there.

A: Allow it to leave the hut, seems...peaceful.
B: Escort it out of the village so it can go on it's way.

The creature is led to the edge of the village, and helped over the wall with it's odd second skin of stone and looks at the chief and the weapon. He makes a motion for the chief to hold it and made a motion on how to swing it. Seems to have been a gift from the critter. How...Nice.

The Chief has gained: Chopper! An odd weapon from an odd weapon stronger than anything the village has produced. This gives a bonus on battles he's a part of.

The critter is given the food, smoked which it takes a bite of with a grin before walking toward the cairns. Seems to be...slow but it should reach the stony hills before nightfalls.

A: Send a few after him, seems that it could be helpful though you might lose them for a while.

C: More defences! Sharp sticks in the walls to stop charges.

>>41201282
Seconding this, but this time we send a small foraging party over.

A few of the hunters, the ones who had first scouted the north have been sent to make a small camp to watch the northen ruin. Their journey didn't take very long, a few hours really before they found the ruin but...it was different now.

Small creatures seemed to be rebuilding a few of the structures. They were not like the creature they had brought into the camp, but more like their fellow humans. They were just the size of children. Few seemed to have weapons and quiet a few seemed to be fairly injuried. The few that did have what seemed to be weapons, were bits of leather with stones in the other hand. That and oddly shaped staffs with bands on the top.

A: Approach the new residents of the ruins.
B: Send a runner back, keep watching.

As a scout is sent back to inform the chief, the three others watch as something roars in the forest beyond. They with interest as three figures, green skinned humanoids that might have been the things scavaging before run across the river holding large gleaming weapons that seem to blind the hunters.

It doesn't take long before a full on battle, the large creatures taking on multiple of the tiny warriors as the other unarmed little people flee in terror. The larger creature has not been seen yet...

A: Keep watching.
B: CHARGE: Attack the creatures with the spears!
C: Fire! Throw a few of the spears and run up to help the little people!

As the group of humans charge down the hill, the creatures turn a bit surprised. Dumb founded it seems that anything would come to the small creatures aid and one quickly finds one of the spears through his eye. The other two started to retreat back toward the River, but are blocked by the other two as the groups of small soldiers attack the monsters as well.

It doesn't take long for them to sustain enough injuries and take plenty of holes from the spears to bleed out. The small creatures come toward the scouts and start to jabber in an unknown language. The three grin and raise their hands causing a loud cheer and pick up the odd weapons.

The creatures bring out other things, must be things they had found and give it to the hunters. One of the items being a small staff with a shiny rock at the top that shines even in a bag.

The scout sent back starts to crest over the hill, and other hunters from the village along with the chief comes over the hill with Chopper and what seemed to be the fattest of the small creatures walk in front of the others and the Chief meets him and they retreat to a large enough hut...

After an hour of 'socilizing' with the small people and the hunters seeing the different odd crafts out of bones and wood to make fine pictures the chief walks out with the chief of the small people who seem to be conversing.

"We are happy to move closer, as suggested by your leader." The Small creature says, wearing a glowing jewel around his neck and pressing against his adam's apple.

The small creatures, no the chief, quickly help pack everything up, and start to move to a closer location to the human village. They explain they are known as Halflings, and have come fleeing an army but didn't expect to be attacked by Orcs from the forest.

Seems that what they were called, Orcs. They call the Three scouts 'Orc Slayers' and have given them a place of honor in their own camp site. They only number about forty, but they seem to be very quick with crafting and start to set up something known as 'A Garden' and get some help from the young men of the village of men.

The two seem to be fine allies, and they hunt together that night, bringing home rabbits caught with spear and finely thrown stones.

As the moon rises, few of the halflings stand guard with the humans. The chief sits in his hut around his little personal fire pit, nodding off to sleep when a whistling sound is heard, and then a loud Crash and scream when the ground in the village shakes. The Chief grabs his axe as the tribesmen flee at the sight of what caused the commotion.

A stone the size of a man was thrown into the village, as another pair meet in the air and make a tremendous bang waking all and sending fear throughout the village.

The warriors of both of the people run to the river, and see three giant creatures holding clubs and wading through the deep water.

"For the Women! For the Ancestors! For The People!" The Chief cries, holding his axe in the air as he charges toward the river bank, his warriors close behind him. Jumping up, doing a bit of a trick when swinging the blade down on the giant's skull and cracking it as the others throw spears and the halflings fling stones at the other Ogres.

The battle goes on for half the night, and the moon begins to sit the final Ogre is slain. A spear through the eye from the lucky hunter as Ten young hunters lay dead and five halflings are...well they had to be scraped off the river's bank by long sharp sticks.

The time goes on, and the monsters have been defeated. The village morns it's lost people and bury them in holes covered by stones from the river.

The village morns, and the Chief is brought to tears wondering why he did not die instead of his men. Oh why did they lose so many good men to such horrid beasts.

The ogres are stripped rather brutally by the chiefs guards and the hunters. The meat is burnt away away from the village as it stinks like hell.

The bones are made into large clubs, The skulls are placed on large sticks near the fire near the hut of the chief. As it turns out, the halflings are able to scavange a bit of the leather armor and turn it into a few suits for their own warriors and teach the art to the humans who use some of their furs from the last hunt to make armor. It's not...great but it works.

As the day goes on, a few of the hunters of both groups return with the odd sound of clanking. The Halflings seem to think they know what it means and prepare a way into their village. They explain it simply as 'Dwarves'.

A: Go out into the plains to meet the dwarves before they arrive.
B: Prepare like the halflings.
C: Go exploring south.
D: Northward Bound.
E: Write in.
>>41202755
Current population in the Village is 90
Halfling is 40

Lets try to have something to offer the dwarves for trade and maybe we can get out hands on either metal gear or help fending off the giants and ogres.

>>41203018
I think getting a Metal Gear might be a little further up the tech tree, we've not even got animal husbandry yet and you want an all terrain walking nuclear tank?

>>41203078
We wouldnt be trying for the tech, just for a couple sets of armor.

>>41203078
We've still got a ways to go

>>41203078
I was thinking more of trading for some axes, shields, and spearheads made of iron or bronze. Platemail is years ahead of us. and we wouldn't have tactics developed enough to use them properly.

>>41203018
>>41202997
>>41202978
As the village prepares, and readies furs and other weaponry to trade with these 'Dwarves' a small caravan arrives pulled by beasts of burden. The leader of the Caravan is the creature that the chief received the Axe from!

The creature seems in much better health, and a much better mood as they speak in a strange tongue with the halflings and using them as a translator, they begin to speak.

After a time, the halfling tells the human that the Dwarven kingdoms have become...splintered after a civil war and the dwarves of the Caravan are heading to find a new homeland. As it goes on, they are also headed to the Mountains based the stone hills to find an old fort to turn into a more permanent settlement for their clan.

The Dwarves did bring along some goods they don't 'Need' and offer to trade for a good bit of food that has been smoked. A good trade as they seem to all be rather beat up.

A: Take the offer of 'More Axes'
B: Take the offer of 'Iron Tools'
C: Take the offer of 'A ???? Detector' though the word has no translation in the human tongue.
D: Write in.

>>41203123
Maybe we can trade some furs for a Hind D.

>>41203140
>B
these will be invaluable for us at this stage.

>>41203140
>: Take the offer of "more axes"

Also lets talk to them about staying in contact with each other. I'd like to try and establish long term ties with people that are friendly enough.

>>41203123
More like: "A ways to fall"

>>41203140
>B

we already have some form of combat tools, now we need to develop

>>41203185

>>41203235
>>41203185
2 For Tools
2 for Axes.

>>41203182
Seconding

>>41203262
Let's go with tools then.
We need to eventually start making our own metal, with dwarven and halfling help we could jump-start the production...eventually

>>41203182
The trade is made rather peaceably, the dwarves load a crate of iron tools, a few hoes and hammers along with a couple of wood cutting axes and a cooking pot to go with it.

The people seem to take these tools with great interest, giving them a few stress tests and seem happy with the Dwarves grinning and pointing out how to use a few properly causing the men to nod curiously. Along with something with two sharp ends that can split stone. One of the villagers take this and start to break up river rock and smoothing them out to use as slingbullets.

The dwarves then drive their wagon train away, a few waving and the chiefs of the other tribes nodding and going back to their work. It seems all is going well as night falls.

As night falls, and the moon reaches its peak. Few are up that late during the wee hours except for the guards. But a young boy was found wandering the village, and out of the small gate to the river. One of the guards stared and rubbed his eyes as he stepped into the shallows and a figure rose from out of it. The guard raised his spear and watched in amazement as the figure touched the boys head in a flash of light and disapeared. The boy fell back onto his back and caused the guard to shout for help...bringing him back into the village he had a set of glowing blue markings on his face that none knew about...

A: Ask the halflings!

I say we should ask both the halflings and the elders, and we should try to keep this from spreading too quick. I think both will have important viewpoints here.

The boy, when he is awakened is taken to one of the elder's huts closest to the River. As he istekan there, the elder is examining the odd blue sigils and feels they are near constantly...wet.

The halflings are also informed and they act as if the humans are mad. They inform them that nothing like that is within their knowledge of lore, of their gods or ????. It's odd really but they seem uninterested.

A: Continue to inspect the boys possible differences.
B: Ignore it, hope it goes away.

As the Elder brings him back to the River, and tells him to focus on the markings...the young man does as he's told and spreads his fingers and says something under his breath. Something none around him understand and a ball of green energy appears in his hand. The elder gasps and reaches out to touch it before th boy dropped it onto the stones...the orb oozing a green liquid that eats through the stone itself.

The halfings nearby start to whisper a word they call 'Sorcerer' and 'Magic' in their own tongue curiously...

Sounds good.

>>41204067
Lets get a name for our chief. Needs to be something dignified and powerful. My vote is for Vengarl.

The Chief should have a good strong name. He has a big axe, he should have a big name. Do we go with tribal naming structure? "Leads-with-voice" or "Runs-with-pack" sort of thing or what, guys?

>>41204067

Isn't Bloodwater an Actraiser 1 town name? Bonus points.

Barry is too mundane a name for a great wizard, though.

>>41204210
Hilcrom for a possible chief name?

Rename the boy with a small celebration in recognition, I'm thinking something like Watertouched (not very inventive I know but I like how it rolls off the tongue)

I am wondering if they know anything about deities or other mystic knowledge that could be useful

>>41204426
Is that a hard or a soft G?
Ven-garl or Ven-jarl?

>>41204456
I intended it to be Ven-garl.

>>41204456
I prefer soft g

>>41204317
Vengarl from...DS2 right? Or is that name a greater reference to something I'm unaware of? Either way, it's a good chief name.

>>41204488
Yeah I got it from DS2. I thought it was a pretty decent name that had a bit of a commanding presence to it.

>>41204422
A small party is sent out, the boy is sent out to play with the other children but stays near the river. When asked why he just says, "I feel better over here."

A few men and women are collected to go check on the Dwarves. They are given spears, and the three 'Orc Slayers' are sent along for additional protection along with one of the halfling translators.

It takes nearly a day to get into the Cairnlands as it has been dubbed. The halflings have been nervous but the Humans never saw much except for mountain cats ever in this kind of area...

>>41204597
>>41204597
I like watertouched as well, tis a good name. I think he should continuously train his powers.

>>41204633

I think he needs to go for a swim, or at least we should construct a small pond for him to test his powers.

>>41204633
I like the idea of him training, but we shouldn't shove it down his throat, just heavily encourage it.

>>41204645
Because the river is where he got his powers, he should always practice with the river. Just makes sense.

>>41204664

we don't know what his powers are yet, you want to risk the only magic user we have?

>>41204664
>>41204663
>>41204645
>>41204633
This but he should still be raised as a normal child, just have take a few hours each week to train with the elders by the river

>>41204689
If he is truly a waterbender, a bit of danger involving water is a good way to test his powers. I just think that if we put too much focus on him he won't develop his powers correctly.

>>41204700
Agreed, we don't want him going all Elsa (sorry, terrible reference but it's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head.)

>>41204700
>>41204715
Yeah, that's what I was hoping for.

>>41204700
I have to agree with you here. If we force him away form his friends and family to learn magic that's a one way track to getting a dark wizard that wishes our doom.

I think we really ought to supervise him however, seeing as he produced an orb that "eats through the stone itself".

>>41204784

As the group goes along, a roar of something that sounds like it is absolutely massive and dying echos through the lowlands of the mountains. As the group quickly retreat to a cave, they find that they are not alone...near the center in a small hole sits an egg nearly the size of a human head.

Some of the halflings talk about eating it, the humans thinking of what could lay such a thing but one suggests bringing the egg with them to see what it is inside without possibly hurting it.

Aquired one Mysterious Egg! As the night goes on...a small cracking sound is heard...and as one guard starts to wake the others the egg seems to be in shattered...

The small group starts to look and the human who suggested keeping the egg is still asleep, but now a large Red lizard is curled up on his chest. When one of the halfling women scream it wakes up along with the man to show large red wings growling at the halfling who faints.

As the group talks, they agree that a pair of humans and a halfling would be sent back to the village while the rest of the group went to find the dwarves. It goes rather quickly, and the Dwarves are found with the dying corpse of some large monster being carted into the small fortress.

The dwarves greet them, and allow them enterance to show a large black scaled creature being taken to a location. A Butchery most likely.

The dwarves explain a monster had taken up root in the fort, the leader had went along but escaped with help of the tribe and went back to bring the rest of his clan of warriors and the rest will soon come to make this a proper dwarven settlement. The group is allowed to stay and, in proper dwarven custom, they are given gifts of Mugs of ale.

They soon depart, knowing now that they had slain the black scaled beast and are heading home. When the others arrived, the little lizard seemed to cause a little bit of a stir. The Chief wanting nothing to do personally with the creature, but others seeming interested the chief being Watersoul who began to toss it fish which it scarfed quickly.

A: Let it stay.
B: Let it hang around, under the control of the Orc-Slayer who found the egg.
C: Give it to Watersoul, little kid needs a friend.
D: Kill it, no sense having such a monster around.

We should focus on exploring our surroundings and internal development for a while, make sure we are prepared for winter and such

>>41205263

>>41205334

The lizard is red and the boy is of the Water, but they are both children, they have not yet learned to hate or love strongly. I say we give the lizard to Watersoul

>>41205263
>C: Give it to Watersoul, little kid needs a friend.

They can grow up together, do we have any experience with domestication or training animals?

>>41205375
this

>>41205375
>>41205390
Guys, if at any point watersoul or the dragon goes rogue, the last thing we want is them to have a powerful sorcerer/red dragon as an ally.

I say we let the guy who found it take care of it, he trains it to fight with us, and maybe he can ride it and train it really well.

>>41205353
>>41205375
It's not about them being friends or growing up together, it's about the compatibility of their powers, which is non-existent.

>>41205428
>>41205435
I didn't read the second part of B while writing, to be fair.
I'm changing my vote to B, the Orc Slayer who found it has already established a bond, he should care for it and train it.

>>41205428
Also, this. The dragon is already attached to the guy who found it, so let it stay with him. Just to restate, water soul IS NOT compatible with a fire dragon, and also, this isn't free willy.

>>41205435

I'm not worried about their compatibility power wise, if we want them to be useful we make sure they grow up well adjusted and loved

>>41205476
Yeah, I'm scared of a free willy situation, where watersoul and red dragon run off together.


Also, Red Dragon needs a name. I vote Tyrath

The chief decides the creature can stay, and the children and those interested can keep it fed and play with it. The children already are trying to think of a name for it, and even the halfling children, though there are only three, enjoy playing with it playing skipping stone games.

The rest of the tribe find the creature interesting, and occassionally it'll spit sparks and smoke into the air. This causes many of the elders to think of the creature as something the Ancestors sent to them as a spirit to protect them and something to Worship.

Others think it's just a weird ass lizard.

>>41205476

It doesn't need to be compatible in fact the dichotomy might help out in the regard, there's no evidence to show that the elements are antagonistic to each other. If we don't want a ""free willy" situation we raise them right and make sure the community supports them part of which makes sure they grow up in a loving and healthy enviroment

>>41205563
Good question.

>>41205527
B

>>41205527
Down the river, we need to find out what is to our south.

As for the name, something tribal but also fire related.

I want to point out, I love it when people give themselves names. And if it's names of the villagers it's also cool because then I can say 'So and So' suggested this and it worked and or Fucked up.

>>41205589
We ARE tribals, so I guess Kun could be an acceptable name, no?

>>41205563
It is currently Summer, and you settled in Spring, next spring I'll give you the population Growth VS how much food you need and how much you grow/fish/hunt

As the group crosses the river, they notice something odd about the forest. Walking in it seems...unnaturally still. A few of the scouts shudder and the orc slayers hold onto their weapons carefully when they come across a large structure.

>D, we destroy the statue. There is no way that thing is good.

>>41205783

what happens if that statue is all that's holding a curse back? It might be important and we shouldn't touch it.

2 for A 2 for C

Looking back at the text I begin to wonder what exactly went through my mind when I read it at first. I must be getting tired.

>>41206070

>Werewolfs that ride dragons while they cast water/acid spells

As the group leaves the odd temple, they spy something in the trees. A small critter, not the size of a human child with glowing eyes that seem to dissapear in a small poof of smoke while the birds begin to sing again. Not long after a small statuette if found of a woman in long flowing gowns. With symbols not unlike what was on Watersoul's face.

A: Explore more of the Forest
B: Explore the Forest's northern bit.
C: South we go.
D: Homeward bound
E: Write in.

All these unknown things scare me, I don't think we should go any deeper into the woods. Let's explore the edge of the forest to the north and then head back.
