The green matriarch stalks other tribes and waits for key opportunities to challenge their matriarch to a ritual match of dominance, preferably after the opposing matriarch has already exhausted herself in a different conflict. Underhanded and unscrupulous to be sure, but effective.

>>5919452
Burning grass proudly intrudes on the territory of neighbouring tribes and makes challenges to the matriarchs. upon victory, she then mates with the strongest (and usually largest) male and absorbs the tribe into her own. To earn the defeated matriarchs' loyalty Burning Grass offers them the opportunity to mate with her strongest sons.

Nice, this is what I had in mind for pongo mode, sorry for not describing, I was referring to the genus of great apes which the orangutans belong to.

Figured it out; no problem

GrassGreen:
The green matriarch stalks other packs and waits for key opportunities to challenge their matriarch to a ritual match of dominance.
Her favored strategy : challenging after the opposing matriarch has already exhausted herself in a different conflict. Underhanded and unscrupulous to be sure - and seen as such, but effective.
This behavior shows that the GrassGreen matriarch is Tactical, a behavior that will be teached to its offspring (+10 on Fight roll when you can master the engagement)

GhostClaw:
The GhostClaw matriarch of azure and white, ambushes in the snow and ice another matriarch at night right before it needs to sleep, once it wins the match it will gain their mates and take the pack eggs.
This goes around all the societal rules of the Under Hunter packs. Many males refuse to follow someone that betray the societal codes so much. Still, the strategy remained successful.
Assassin - +15 on Ambush rolls

BurningGrass:
The BurningGrass matriarch proudly intrudes on the territory of neighbouring packs and makes challenges to the matriarchs. upon victory, she then poaches with the strongest (and usually largest) male
The success of this matriarch can be explained by a simple matter of fact : its sheer Strength (+5 on all relevant rolls). Under Hunter are already a mighty species. BurningGrass matriarch and successor even more than the other genelines.

IceyOne:
A matriach of clear fur, with several icycles carefully groomed as ornaments, lets out loud mournful mating cries hoping to attract males she can choose from.
This works quite well - even convincing some males to leave a pack to join her own. This is because of a well-developed vocal pouch, making her quite the Orator (+5 on all relevent Charisma rolls.)

Jupiter :
The Jupiter Matriarch acquires reproduction through deception. Lurking at the edge of pack, stealing eggs and gobbling dying males spit testicles, a vagrant pack is forming.
This is one of the first display of Deception (+10 on stealth rolls.)

BadBack :
The Badback Matriarch Carefully prepares spots to lure in other Underhunters to subjugate in ritual combat where things are stacked in her favor.
She takes strongest male of other tribe and gives a randomly chosen male of her own tribe as replacement - leading her tribe to get quite strong and respected among the packs of unmuted hunters.
This is the foundation of being an abled Merchant (+10 on Trade rolls).

>Special event for Jupiter player
As a Blank, your mere presence is threatening to light moss - letting the rare patch around you combust easily. This shut down light which the Ivy feed of in the cracks and rifts. For now, your impact is minimal, but it might be a long-term issue.

A 100 days passed, and all your tribe count 10 males, as well as growing younglings - including several daughters which you teach your ways.
The ecosystem is well enough to sustain all of your pack-size tribes - even if Jupiter situation is more strained.
>How do you want to develop your tribe?

>>5921304
Take a party of the strongest and climb the southern wall, and take a vantage point looking into the crack, watching and waiting for an opportunity to yoink eggos or otherwise acquire easy prey

>>5921304
Develop barter system within tribe to exchange favors for foodstuffs or services

>>5921304
The GhostClaw matriarch decides to create a nest for the tribe in a remote shadowy cavern in one of the mountains. The nest will have furs and plants pieces left from the hunts and foraging, inside creating a warm spot for sleeping together and keeping the eggs warmer.
Outside of the entrance it self the tribe will place and create much snow and ice making it even more difficult to spot it, while creating holes through it for the tribe to pass through and begin their ambushes at night be for food or gain more eggs and mates.

>>5921302
The green matriarch develops a strategy of intentionally triggering rockfalls among the mountains to throw prey into a state of confusion before an ambush.

>>5921302
Seeing that someone has been stealing male genetic material and even EGGS from the packs south of her territory fills the matriarch with righteous furry. She approaches those packs and makes them an offer. In exchange for a continual flow of food, the Burning Grass Tribe will use their superior strength to protect the eggs and younglings of their clients.

>>5921758
I'll have to reject that one.
You're too far away for now :
From thread one, about the crack :
>20 million square terran kilometers. Upon an average depth of roughly 20 terran kilometers
Each hexagon is 500 km big. For now, you won't interract with packs remotely close - a typical pack will roam in such a zone, but you're a bit too far to hear about this kind of matter.

>>5921302
Then we'll start clearing the four beak population from my territory by aiming for the juveniles

>>5921302
>The IceyOne trains her daughters in how to do mating cries as well, and starts to do choir-like harmonizations with her daughters, to make the mating cries even more enticing and enthralling. Hoping to lure more than just her own kind to the claws of her tribe.

>>5921322
Allright, I'll take 1d100 each. DC is Meet it to beat it, higher is better.

>Jupiter, you are Exploring. You benefit from the species trait "Exploration" granting you +10

>BadBack, you are developping a cultural research : Barter System

>Ghostclaw, you are developping Nests.

>GrassGreen, you are developping Trapmaking[rock fall]
DC for simple research or Culture is 40.

>IceyOne :
Your Matriarch is working on her voice, teaching to her daughters and attempting to merge several voice in a greater whole.
However, efforts made to create a choir are not paying yet. Still, progress is made toward this research.

>GhostClaw :
The Ghostclaw tribe took time to look for caves to use as places to spend the night more warmly.
To improve the comfort, the nest is lined with Fire Fern dried foliage - which turned out are also great insulator

>BadBack :
The Badback tribe communication now include a Barter system.
What could have been a simple exchange of favors for foodstuffs or services turns out to be a powerful motivator for this tribe's member.
This enable your tribe to work on a project without immediate usefulness - if your Matriarch have enough personal wealth to pay the tribe members.

>Jupiter :
The Jupiter tribe strongest member set themself the goal to climb the icey rim of the crack.
What could have been really hard, even accounting the Warp Travel of the species, should have been almost impossible for the Blank-led tribe.
However, Blank-led doesn't mean blank-only : some males of the tribe are psykers. In addition, a quirk of geology turns this particular wall as one of the best place of the Crack for easy access out.
Over the next hundred day, a new way out of the crack is ice-carved and passable for UnderHunterkind.
A new world open for the Jupiter tribe. Out of the Crack, you can see the brown of far-away peaks. But the landscape offering to your sight is a white sea, with erratic motion of walls of snow.
However, the Under Hunter is poorly, poorly equipped for navigating an horizontal, snowy terrain. Bipedism improves a bit the capacities of said Under Hunter to walk in snow, but this remains tiresome.
At the very least, your tribe got mastery of the high ground on this section of the crack. For now, this is more than enough for your tribe to fill its belly.

>GrassGreen
The GrassGreen tribe doubled down on its cunning. The tribe was chasing Lunar Dahu, but a youngling accidentally collapsed an unstable pill of rocks.
One of the rock knocked out a Dahu, giving the Matriarch the idea to reproduce this lucky encounter.
Among the hunting grounds of the Grassgreen tribe, the gestalt mind can see strange cairns. Built for creating ambushes or diversion, this development turns the GrassGreen tribe in incredibly good hunters.

>BurningGrass
The BurningGrass tribe engaged into a systematic hunt of the nearby Apex, the Fourbeaks. They prove incredibly good at locating and targeting the younglings of the mighty armored mollusk.
>Over 100 result, with a small tribe size : you won't eradicate them on your zone, but...
In the process, the BurningGrass Matriarch observed a lot of behavior in the Fourbeaks, knowing them better. You acquired Knowledge[fourbeaks], granting you +3 on the interactions involving them.

The PridefulWhiteMane matriarch attempts to trade unskilled psyker males for better psyker-abled ones, in the hope to increase the Psyker potency of the tribe in the future.
>Psyker ability roll 88 for a 38-99 scale
However, as the matriarch is already among the good Psyker of the species, this genetic trade offered little improvement, and the less-than-favorable trades decreased the tribe size.

>CerulanandLilac
The tribe shape with their cryomancy ice nest for themselves.
>71 for nest-crafting :
With source material present, can mount a half-sphere able to withstand the climate's riguours. The usual strategy is to close the dome around a patch of moss, providing lightning.
As Ice, your favored resource is amply present so far North even in the depth of The Crack, your tribe can alleviate the harsh cold of the long nights. Those nests are temporary by nature, but can easily be set up.


>Need Second turn prompt of both of you. Will resolve them as

>>5924939
The paints would be made of blood and masticated and crushed moss

>>5924939
The Whitemane tribe wishes to increase its size, but for that it must find a safe space. The Matriarch will attempt to create domes of frost around Stove Groves. If the ice starts to melt, the dome will be made larger, so the walls are further away from the Grove's heat. Once it seems stable, the insulated dome shall be used as a nest.

>>5924994
You can search parietal art. However, are you certain you want to sculpt nest described as
>temporary by nature

>>5925023
I can accept that - but I'll appreciate if you chose a different shape for your favored nest for better cultural diversity in the long run.

>>5925148
I chose Domes because they are simple shape. If its about being unique we could make the ice structures like this: a basic shape around the Stove Grove, like a square/triangle/circle/star made out by raising a solid wall of icicles, like a palisade. Just bellow the tip of the icicle wall, perpendicular, you make more ice in the same shape, until you fill the space above it, like a roof made out of "planks". You climb onto the new ice platform and you repeat the process to build more floors/levels. You leave a hole in the middle so the heat from the Grove can reach the upper levels.
BAM! Ice Pyramid/Ziggurat Nests!
They are easier to spot from a distance as well.

>>5925219
I'll lock the Star Ziggurath - for now it will be two level high only, and semi-permanent as melting from the inner heat.

2nd turn Update!

The Badback matriarch worked on forming trails in the crack, with indication of safer places and resting places indicated with territory marker.
Of course, their psychic powers help. The matriarch tells her strongest daughters about the long-term goal : their tribe build for their sake and convenience, but also for the other - against fair retribution.
However, due to a lack of disposable funds, the matriarch couldn't bribe the tribe to work extremely hard on the infrastructure.
Plus, most of the packs walk the constructed path without paying anything as the tribe is too small, too mobile to effectively control the territory. Still, the goal of bartering with other is integrated in the cultural landscape of the tribe.

The BurningGrass matriarch use the end of her reign to grow the tribe size by integrating the best elements of the various packs around.
This worked well - maybe a bit too much. The tribe is almost one and a half time bigger than the bigger pack that the crack could naturally sustain - meaning hunger is omnipresent and starvation is near as the preys presence is not dense enough to sustain such a big tribe.
In any other bloodline, the solution will simply be splitting the pack in two. But a quirk of biology makes this idea unbearable for the bipedal Under Hunters.
This same quirk of biology is the reason Under Hunter tribes will need to adapt or perish.

The Jupiter pack will establish a home in the cracks and crevasses of this climbable area, in a resource-rich territory that is roamed.
This works well. The vertical mobility of the species is completely adapted to the terrain, which is getting tuned to their needs.
>1
That is, until the egg-spoiled pack comes back to attack. Retribution for not respecting the ritual rules, the local pack banded together and assaulted the Pongo-looking tribe.
Blood is shed, the tribe can't even mourn the victims - including the matriarch as it is pushed in the frozen plains, away from the Crack.

Meanwhile, the farthest away tribe of the GhostClaw made an incredible breakthrough : they discover how to break rocks for accomplishing functions.
Rounder rocks for Bludgeoning, oblong rocks sharpened into Piercing points, flat rocks faceted into edges.
Moreover, this discovery turns into practical aspect, as the Ice Shard spell, synergized with the Shape Ice one, turns the projectile into ice blades, boulder or points.
In turn, the youth of the tribe instantly internalize the desired shape of rocks, helping the transmission of the rock-carving technique.

The GrassGreen Matriarch pursues an agenda of creating simple trails and way markers, to identify good hunting grounds, safe hiding spots and the way home.
>4
This backfires : the territory of the tribe is an historical territory of migration from packs going in and out of The Crack.
Other packs use the trails (degrading them), unintentionally stealing preys or triggering the traps. This led to aggression and minor bloodshed, with 3 death on your side before the situation is sorted out.
Trails end up degraded, tribe a few member shorter, but no more bad consequences for now.

The IceyOne Matriarch keeps on singing with her daughters in their off time.
Upon a life spent on her craft, the tribe created a few multi-voiced songs, desirable to males that sometime abandon their pack to follow your tribe.
>98 : Songs Harmonization - Passive male poaching by seducing them each turn (1d3 rolled behind the screen by yours truly for now.)
This lead your tribe inching closer to its current sustainability limit.

The Cerulean ans Lilac tribe started to sculpt the walls of their Ice nest with important events : healthy children born and successful hunts are typical scenes depicted for now.
In addition, the tribe use live Grass Moss, plucked from the middle patch, to give the Psyker Shine of spells for the few hours where the nest is occupied.
Sadly, this primitive art of Artistical Ice Carving disappear with the nests.

While some are kicked out of their home, other busy decorating, some are making unseen structure.
The Whitemane tribe establish a few temporary nests around stove-groves, by creating a walled-star shape mounted by a smaller, opened star, benefitting from a nice heat coming by the miracle tree.
Of course those nest melt quite fast, especially so far south, but Under Hunter sleep better and more comfortably.

A year have passed : 400 days have come and go, your matriarch are getting old and reached menopauses - except the Jupiter's one, which have been replaced because of fatality.
They still advise the tribe, but younger blood will replace them for leading.

>>5926267
The Tribe is small but our Nests offer shelter and warmth in the ever-white Wastes. The Pack leader has seen the wisdom of her Elder: We must use these new nests to entice small packs to join us. We know where the Lunar Dahu gather, we sleep right on top of them! We can let them get close to the nest, and thus to the Grove, and ambush them from the second floor. Dahu are quite tough and dangerous with their back plate and fire rectums. Surely, wild Under Hunters will be impressed by our efficiency and wish to join us.

Development : Primitive Tombs

The matriarch of the Ghost Claw tribe has decided to find something else to do, her tribe grows and she is truly proud. They live, they hunt, they prosper. But there is something she wants, lately she has found herself mourning the loss of a youngling. Many died during her long life be pack members, mates, other younglings, eggs, but she changed. She can't just mourn them anymore. She can't leave it, she doesn't want to separate it self from her cub, so she brought back the body to the tribe nest. But what now ? She decides to create a space for his little corpse in an unused portion of the cave, that the matriarch clears it from rocks and ice alike. Then she digs and digs, creating a square hole. In the hole she places cut rocks at all sides, then in the center she places the corpse of her cup enveloping it in ice. After that she places more cut rocks on top and some of the ground she had dig. When the work is done on the rocks that are seen above, the matriarch begins to leave small leaves of fire ferns and skulls of holey moleys, the favorite of her cub. Other of the tribe watch this petrified has they never thought of doing this at all for the ones they mourned. From that day they too begin to do the same, and when the matriarch dies she is placed near her child.

Bitter from the inter-hunter conflict inflicting heartwrenching losses upon the tribe, as well as soured to more peaceful methods after being blindsided, the new matriarch decides to leverage our natural stealthy ways.

We will steal eggs, children, food, and ignite deadly moss to cover our escape

I tend to forget we are already a spacefaring specie technically. Since we can travel between dimensions at will. No wonder our territory is so big despite the fact we are only 14-34 individuals per tribe, distance is not really a problem for us. This ability will get far more dangerous to use once the Chaos Gods finish coalescing and The Prince arrives. We need to put a big focus on discipline and mental strength in a couple thousand years

>>5927552
Indeed, its kind of a problem while also very useful. Mostly because if we didn't have certain racial traits it would make the Under Hunters ungovernable, unorganizable and incapable of forming civilizations (since individuals/small groups could just leave and go far away). They need energy for use it, its not infinite uses so distance is still a problem especially if you cannot decide where to go and you lose yourself.

>in a couple thousand years
At the moment we are different tribes that are developing their regions with their cultures, tech and pop, nothing stop from us from doing it in this age or the civilization one really. Inevitably our cultures will spread and soon there will be smaller less important NPC tribes running around too, and much like our cultures our techs will also spread around likely. I had in mind to do something similar and maybe a primitive faith.

>BurningGrass : Extortion
The new matriarch seeing the starvation comes to a simple conclusion. With her larger tribe comes a need for a larger territory.
In particular, she needs more hunter - that don't directly need to be related to her by blood. Using their superior strength the packs around her territory becomes auxiliaries.
The weaker packs have no more choice than comply. Smaller packs leaving on the edge of the territory will keep food ready to let the BurningGrass pack indulge in eating them.
This lead to an Increase in maximum sustainable tribe size for the first species exploiting their brethen in the short history of this planet.


>Prideful : Growing tribe
Tempting wild pack members with better lodging and quality food easily huntable, the new matriarch spend the first half of her life to integrate new members to her tribe, reinorcing their low numbers.
Situation is less dire than it used to be, with the tribe growing to the comfortable size of 24 members.

>Icey : Battle-scream
The Icey matriarch worked on a new cry.
Her tribe member can now start engagement with an Ichor-thickening shrill cry, which grant a small +1 bonus to fighting rolls against any being able to hear it.
This cry is painfully mundane and not Psyker empowered.
In addition, the harmonized songs of the tribe keep luring males, letting the tribe grow slightly.

>CerulanandLilac :
Using their mastery of ice, a new cunning array of traps appear in the arsenal of hunterkind.
Mirrorwalls, pits with a thin ice ceiling, and preparing unstable stalactite proves as many valuable strategies to help the tribe's hunt.
The tribe can now develop Elaborated Traps.

>BadBack : Melee Weapon (ice-crafted)
The Badback tribe smartly applied their Shape Ice psyker power to extend their claws and nose horn for hunts and conflicts with Fourbeaks, improving their lethality.
>Unlocked Military research : Ice Weapons (+2)

>Ghost Claw : Primitive tombs
The matriarch of the Ghost Claw tribe has decided to find something else to do, her tribe grows and she is truly proud. They live, they hunt, they prosper. But there is something she wants, lately she has found herself mourning the loss of a youngling. Many died during her long life be pack members, mates, other younglings, eggs, but she changed.

>24
From that day the rest of the tribe completely forget about it, and when the matriarch dies she's just left to feed the crawlers rot as any other Under Hunter.

>GrassGreen : Research nests
The GrassGreen started resting in more permanent places, creating nests similar to those of the GhostClaw clan.
However, a massive distinction comes from the paths and trails exploited by migrant packs, resulting in the tribe walking to one of its several nest and find it squatted.

A/N : didn't have any juice to draw for this update.

You will have to do with that sad plain block of text tonight.

>>5927948
>The start of nobility.

The matriarch is pleased that the risk of starvation has been averted but knows her situation is perilous. after all, if she pushes too hard those packs may leave and her tribe would be back to square one. So, the matriarch comes to a simple solution. She will bind these packs to her with blood.

She offers the matriarchs of packs that bring the most food a chance to mate with some of the tribes' stronger males (keeping the strongest for her tribe). The Matriarch knows that the offspring of these unions will eventually come to rule these packs.

>>5927948
It is time! We hunt Dahu yet they still come to our Nests, to our Groves. They depend too much on the fruit. There is an opportunity! We Shall gather fruits from the Stove Grove (using Shape Ice to make a handle around a rock to use it as a plate to move the hot fruit). The herbivore is flighty, so to persuade it, we must make sure it can't flee. We will corner a Dahu, place some fruits on the ground and back away, slowly. We should try to mark the Dahu somehow, graze it. Once we run out of food, we let it wonder, and catch it again later. It may take days, but the Matriarch is confident. If the Dahu no longer fear us, if they can be persuaded to sleep in the nest, like how Under Hunter can, then tribe will grow!

>>5927948
The brazen theft of nesting spaces outrages the matriarch. The tribe turns its trap making talents to securing their other nests, marking their homes with the skulls of the fallen as a warning. Once the nests are secured only then will revenge become a priority.

>>5927948
Capitalizing on their improved melee weapons the Matriarch decides to subjugate surrounding tribes for a tribute of food. in return she will provide protection against Four Beaks and invaders seeking to take other tribes hunting and grazing grounds.

>>5927948
>Ghost Claw Tribe Advancement so far : Assassins-like tribe prefer night opportunism over natural matriarch ritual duels and natural hunts, cave nest, using rocks/shaping rocks (Rounder rocks for Bludgeoning, oblong rocks sharpened into Piercing points, flat rocks faceted into edges) + synergized with Shape Ice, turns the projectile into ice blades, boulder or points.

Development : Observation
The new matriarch of the Ghost Claw has learned a new thing after a failed hunt. Waiting is already essential for how the Ghost Claw Tribe hunts and kills, but what if we wait before and look around. For the land, for our preys, our foes and so on. Before an hunt, before a kill. Wait and look, for learn and adapt better. So that the hunt and kill might be even better.

>>5927949

>>5930291
roll well

>>5930923
Maybe have him dispersed instead of extinction ? And the possibility to create a new tribe from one of the small pieces. With less experiences and the like. Otherwise, this part will not last much at all if more tribes suffer similar shit rolls, and i think its in the interest of everyone to get at the last stage minimum. I am playing for that at least.

One tribe getting chaos'd earlier would be difficult if not more likely impossible to deal with in the long run, since is also an entire region that would become chaosfied and develop a chaos civilization. It would be also meta for us to deal with it early one, and our tribes wouldn't have develop any kind of underhunter totem or underhunter tribal deity/deities and so on for at least some counters to chaos... while the chaos gods are already all fleshed out and all filled with spells, gifts and the like.
Ultimately its a choice of Jupiter, but in comparison all the other tribes are at major disadvantage, because they have nothing for deal with it. Chaos is stupidly powerful even when weak.

>>5930926
They will hate us regardlessly, but even if this is a major negative is just one player tribe. We have multiple other tribes still and much more regions, at the very least that's our benefit in this. Small really.


>>5930927
>Huntisition
Our tribes could make some spec hunters, shamans, totems at this point not really inquisition. It would be a basic start for counter chaos, and not much else. Not enough to win against it, slow it perhaps and ensure there is enough development for the future for deal with it next.

One reason i wanted the tombs was for build up my culture for get to faith. Since death and tombs, naturally lead towards making questions of that kind.

>>5930937
Yeah I wanted to maybe try a Star Faith, but you can’t pray if you are starving. I wanted agriculture and animal husbandry first, so that Under Hunters have time to think about their self
Depending on which god they follow, if they do follow one, it would give us a time limit to figure out a way to spin this into a good PR campaign with the Imperium.
If I can make Star worship popular enough, since we travel between dimensions, we could maybe adopt the Astronomican as The Brightest Star

>>5930953
We are tribes being half starved and with not much is kind of our deal, totems/spiritual beliefs are possible here.
I'll be honest the "good PR campaign", i don't see it working and the astronomican being the brightest start feels a bit too off grid. Diplomacy with the great crusade imperium feels not smart at all, the Under Hunters are aliens not built for that, and this quest is made for the specific of reaching the great crusade that our aliens need to survive.

The psyker heart doesn't allow to travel time, but teleport us around. Doesn't mean we find the astronomican or anything like that.
In regard to faith i will be going for something else too, i think other tribes should do too. It is much better that way. Develops more our cultures.

>>5930923
Didn't even think this was an option, being blanks.
But yes, 100%. Give me power beyond power!!

>>5931019
I think you have to choose one of the three.

>>5930999
yes. it was just a possible idea. I did forget there's no Astronomican yet, forgot the Shaman King is undercover. Indeed, we can run, we can fight them off, we can hide, but we can't pacify them, it is not our Fate, nor is it in the interest of any of the big players.

>>5931019

Khorne would not really give attention to a tribe with deception, one with strength would be in his sights if they allow themselves to be corrupted. Unless they do the equivalent of a mass massacre, a malevolent first catalyst for put his eyes on them.

Though he must have mixed feelings on them, because Under Hunters are in general very strong but also mostly all psykers. The other chaos gods probably all like the mixed package, just makes them more dangerous.

>Badback : 33+10(Merchant)+2(Weapons) - 45 : Success!
The Badback tribe now sell their service to nearby packs - essentially to hunt Fourbeaks.
>Cultural research achieved : men at arms.
Synergize with Barter as a way to passively get food. It result of an increase of tribe capacity.
However, mercenary is a dangerous job - Your number decrease, divide by half.

>GrassGreen : Reconquista - 33 +10 (mastered engagement) - 43 : Success!
You eliminated most packs thinking your nests where free real estate, and let skulls as well as pelvis plates as warnings.
However, fighting quadrupedal packs, even made of inferior Under Hunters, is a dangerous job - Your number also decrease.

>Cerulean : Bonecraft - 15
A blue and purple Under Hunter accidentally smashes a bone against a rock. The mineral structure now have a point and an edge. The Hunter investigates it curiously.
But a prey just come in ear range. The Hunter drops the bone and the subsequent ideas of marquetry.
Pretty sure it's the right english word. Check this https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabletterie_gallo-romaine

>BurningGrass : Noble bloodline
The previous "Extortion" research grant you the +5 bonus, letting you reach the 40 threshold - Success!
The extorted tribe's leader is impregnated or replaced by one of your own.
Of course, member of the tribe itself are higher in the pecking order. Still, this strategy effectively vassalize tribes, spreading your genes and bipedism among the local packs.
>Created 3 vassal packs (8-14 sized), lead by a Bipedal daughter of yours.
This vassal don't directly count in your tribe number. Still, they keep providing meat for you, and start asserting dominance on other quadrupedal packs.

>Whitemane : Taming
Trapped and acclimated enough for the tribe to have a good amount of cattle.
Lunar Dahu find easily Stove groves to graze. However, they have to move frequently.
Older Dahus are eaten. Dahu stumbled upon are reassured by their fellows presence, and are added to the tribe's cattle.
This led to a decentralization of the tribe. The Zigguraths act as hubs, with a handful of Hunter leading a handful of Dahus from grove to grove, mounting more Zigguraths as needed.
The tribe is decentralized, but still united upon meeting while herding the Dahus.
>Animal Husbandry subject :
However, birthes are rare among Lunar Dahu. They don't spit testicles upon death, so the obvious application of Under Hunter's known biology doesn't help in the matter.
This subject will require further investigation.

>GhostClaw : Observation
>Success!
Your tribe developped a new behavior, based on observing and inferring before taking action.
This will most certainly let the tribe find, and exploit, various opportunities in the future.
>Observant - +2 when applicable!

>Jupiter :
The Jupiter tribe is no more. A single, injured Matriarch is slowly dying in the frozen wall of the Crack.
Her anemic Ichor let the neural structure responsible for her peculiar Blankness to temporary fizzle away.
"Most interesting. I have great plans for you..."
Before you now it, your way is changed.
Benefits :
>Can turn out Blankness enough for Warp Travel.
>Superior Intellect : +5 in all smart-test rolls
A surplus of vigor let you hunt this day. Recover. Try again.
Your keener mind let you take down the pack that maimed you and stole the life of your mates and daughters.
Gobbling on their freshly slayed testicles, stealing their eggs, you build back the tribe's number.
"Very good. Now, here are your orders..."
>God Mandate 1 : Conquer this hex territory and build, more than a settlement, a permanent City
>God Mandate 2 : Meet another tribe

From now on, you'll have to defend how each of your action acts toward one of your God's mandate.

>Random event :
Due to a quirk of the moons, this winter started early and is colder than usual. This result on increased competition : Predators will assault each tribe that haven't fought them (BadBack and BurningGrass are immune to this) at the end of this turn.

>Any lurker can 'steal' IceyOne spot. IceyOne, if you're still around claim back your spot

>How should your tribes evolve?

>>5931940
All hail the great bananas in the sky

>>5931941
The tribe has grown. Dahu and Hunter. Prey and Predator. Bound by the Grove. But Hunter is not Dahu. Dahu must graze, move from tree to tree. They are flighty. Hunter is smart. Hunter has ice and stone. The Matriarch wishes to make Dahu like Hunter. To do that the Dahu must be less flighty. We are bound by the Grove. We know, vaguely, the Grove spreads. It spits testicles into the snow like Hunter. We will cut out the fruit and spread it ourselves. We don’t know if the Grove is so spread out because Dahu eat Testicles or because it has to be or both trees starve. We will try anyway. We will bury the testicle into the snow. Into the ground. If there are Dahu nearby we will push them away, to already existing Grove, leave the testicle alone. The Matriarch doesn’t know when testicle hatches into Stone Grove. But one day, this will unite the Whitemane and the Dahu, permanently

>>5931941
So Jupiter, now Changed. Has crawled back to 17 members? Or is this chart slightly outdated?

>>5931976
Chart up to date.
Reduced to 1; lucked in the external roll.
Same for GrassGreen and BadBack : the progress they made was at the cost of random rolls of death. Somehow rng put them at round numbers.

>>5931941
>put a bigger emphasis on recruiting the strongest males from other tribes to strengthen the own bloodline and recover from the losses.

Tell of the Glory and strength of your tribe to convince young strong hunters to come and join in hopes of mating with those of such a strong bloodline and reap the spoils that such a life can grant.

>oral history: the older male of the tribe are tasked to remember and teach the history of the tribe

>>5931941

The GrassGreen matriarch is pleased with their assertion of dominance, but now is a time to heal and rest. The regeneration of the Underhunter is a powerful tool, but it means nothing to sudden and terrible injuries that kill too quickly for the body to heal. So the Matriarch ponders the earliest concepts of wound management, binding injuries to keep precious ichor in the body, forcing moss to burst into flame to cauterize bleeding gouges.

>>5931941
interesting, uhm i might need to do later those tombs regardless lol.

>Ghost Claw Tribe Advancement so far : Assassins-like tribe prefer night opportunism over natural matriarch ritual duels and natural hunts, cave nest, using rocks/shaping rocks (Rounder rocks for Bludgeoning, oblong rocks sharpened into Piercing points, flat rocks faceted into edges) + synergized with Shape Ice, turns the projectile into ice blades, boulder or points, Observation behavior

>Development : Subjugation
The second matriarch of the Ghost Claw tribe, now see its the time for the tribe to expand further. She shall defeat and put down on their knees, all the matriarchs of the nearby packs to the tribe. Them and their packs shall be watched and then ambushed one by one and defeated at their weakest moments, until they understand the Ghost Claw tribe and her are their superiors. They shall submit to her authority and command, and shall provide in eggs, mates, food and support when asked for.

>>5932011
nice, giving the Males something to do.

>>5931941
>Nursery Keeps

The matriarch sees the increase in predator's attacking and is suddenly grateful for her mothers wise decision to cull the four-beak population. Reducing the impact of the harsh winter on the packs and tribes in her territory. But the increased competition means that hunters have to range further and further to bring food back to the tribe, Meaning that less members are protecting the eggs and younglings. Seeing this as unacceptable she begins using the Psyker abilities that come naturally to the tribe to fortify the nest. Shaping Ice to create strong and thick walls to deter anything that would think to risk the future of the tribe.

>>5931941
Adopt nomadic ways, taking the entire tribe wandering through the crack to meet other cultures and learn their skills and ways. If questioned, we will make promises of future dedications.

>>5932277
would adequate psykers be able to tell those of the Jupiter bloodline are Changed in some way? They apparently still look the same and we only know Cryomancy, but can't we still sense that their souls have been tampered with, or do you need actual Telepathy to tell that?

>>5932317
I mean he still is mostly a blank so we would get an uneasy feeling and revulsion. it looks like the bird just turned it down enough to allow warp travel

>>5932277
also, you're going to want to choose a direction because we can only travel 1-3 hexes a turn (depending on how good you roll)

>>5932277
>Adopt Nomadic Ways
Careful, this goes directly against your God mandate n°1

>>5932317
They're Blanks. You will find them disturbing and "off". I don't feel any of you have worked enough on philosophy, or theology, for the concept of "Soul" to have emerged though.

>>5932361
It's even more : Jupiter can flip out, and flip in again, their Blankness, like flexing a muscle

>>5932652
>philosophy, or theology, for the concept of "Soul"
We barely started the tribal age, we are nowhere near any of that.

Tzeentch really thrown him two big tasks (a city is way way off), especially when we are far distant from each other, and not being easy to find. Not to mention tribe interactions might not be friendly immediately (for all the tribes matriarchs know, they might be the only Under Hunters like this in existance. We have only seen animal packs of Under Hunters after all).

>>5932688
Wow, who could have thought power beyond power came with a cost beyond cost?

>>5932692
XD

>>5932652
I was intending on roaming around in hopes of learning some infrastructural knowhow, but after looking back it seems I would have to be wandering quite a while to meet anybody we could truly learn from. If I can, I will attempt to go to the south to meet the BadBacks, learn what we can about paths and bartering, before perhaps setting off to find a suitable location to found our city.

>>5932708
Your god mandate is to set the city exactly where you tried to settle first - on the wall leading to a path out of the Crack

Technically none of the Biped Hunters have actually met each other right? Jupiter’s city could act as a hub for other Matriarchs to meet and share discoveries and cultures. Of course, only Jupiter would be smart enough to plan something like this, everyone else (including the Nobles) hasn’t really clocked in that you could do something like this

>>5932708
However, with the warp-presence of Under Hunter, your God can direct you toward BadBack territory in south-East.

>>5932741
Our tribes haven't meet and don't know each other. They aren't near, thankfully. I am very glad the distance are that much large since that will actually allow some development, differences, story and so on.

Lol thats a funny proposal. If you want to immediately be influenced by tzeentch, and weirdly accept to work with strangers that by all means none of us believed existed beyond our own tribes go for it. It doesn't make much sense to me to just collaborate and be friends at the moment, there is really little reason for do so for our tribes.

And i prefer to develop my own culture without chaos stuff in it.

>>5932759
It’s an option. Relying on others and just stealing technology from them is a possibility

>>5932757
Since I'm a blank, I assume I have no ice-crafting abilities?
Still want to learn what I can from the south.

>>5932827
hope you have something to trade for that knowledge ;)

cant barter without something valuable to others.

>>5932842
I won't spoil how the interraction will be handled :)
