as for the other action.

Proper vessels would do much for the tribe. Pilgrims on their journey of proving seek it out, following their sixth sense. The vassals are promised places of honor if they can find it. The tribe dreams of hot soups and drinks. The dirt under where fire traps burn and pilgrim bonfires roar is checked. It has to be somewhere!

> Take another stab at finding suitable earthware materials and learning the art of pottery.

(I'm not entirely clear what the rules on repeated attempts are. If this is in violation I can write up something else)

They shall carve them through the stone for create better and more refined living spaces for themselves, the desired result : is a series of spherical huts that would almost seem born out of the stone and partial reminiscing eggs of Underhunters in their form. Inside there would be only three rooms one used for craft/make and devour/drink, one used for sleep and a smaller one for keep the companions Holey Moleys inside.

We have Vassals handling dangerous tasks like Fire Fern collecting. I will reattempt Glasshouses, make them thicker, sturdier so we can grow Frost Flowers.

So everybody played their turn.
No faggotry on my side in the pastebin?
We'll wait a bit for Cerulean/Breathless to take care of the Cerulean tribe instead

I could do either. For the moment I'll shephard Cerulan&Lilac. They can have it back if they want of course.

>The artists of Cerulan&Lilac drape the halls of the Mirror Hall with illusions of distant nests and use these memorials to maintain long distance teleportation gates. This allows the tribe to travel between nests for trade and socialization without always creeping through the trapped tunnels.

1st Lady: Memory Walls, Elaborate Traps, Male Oral Historians, Died in her own trap.
2nd Lady: Hidden Infrastructure, Watchers, Hidden Gardens & the Mirror Hall, We don't burn our dead
5th Lady: Bipedal Shamanism over Wild Packs,7 headed family, now we burn the dead and feed the crops with the ashes, Telepathy, Huntress Games (olympics), Psychic Illusion,

Wait.
Cerulean missed 2 turns. Meaning, they spent a lot of time to that specific project.
You're getting a B03 d100 for that turn only; does that impact your decision?

Badback :
>Trade Deal : 88!
This time, you get the upper hand in the upcoming trade. By supplying 8 Domesticated Fatty - improving Jupiter's agriculture - and a couple slaves to tend for them, you learn the secret of writings from Jupiter. Of course, this deal does not include the clay tablets and their cooking to keep the records. You had to find your own way...
>How do you keep records? Ice slabs? Ivory plates from Fatty's shells?
>Warp Trail : 69!
Your people slowly and meticulously (at least real member of the tribe, not those disposable slaves) build up the way North.
Paving the webway and extanding it, the era is enough to let the Matriarch die knowing you'll bring together another tribe in your merchant alliance.
>Contextual action : you can meet BurningGrass as a free action this turn.

Grassgreen : Pottery
>76!
Finally, you found the prized snow-rock. Like Jupiter, there are ample amount of this precious material... under the layers of snow of the plains, where the passageway lead out of the crack. Unlike Jupiter, the snow-rock is yellow and not red.
Using the fire mastery, you soon have your own Earthenware. Of course, those first out of the moss pit are cruder than the decades and decades of refined practice from Jupiter.

Ghostclaw : Stonecarved houses
>96!
The Ghostclaw clan moved away from their cavern habitat, into deformed-egg shaped stone houses.
The upper space have small, Hunter-sized alcoves laced with Fire Ferns, forming comfy beddings.
The middle space is dedicated to work and eat.
The lower space is dedicated to the Holey Moley. They can tunnel out from the houses from below.
Overall, those durable habitations are an impressing display of power over the other tribes.

>Whitemane : Glasshouse adaptation for Frost Flower
>33
In a most frustrating turn of events, the Glasshouse way of nestbuilding keeps eluding you. Your tribe, once more, makes no progress.

>BurningGrass : Strategic Resource Securement
>14
Despite the dreams of the Matriarch, the harsh weight of reality catches up. Your logistic chain is stranded too thin to allow you more conquest.
More exactly, the tunnels carved from Eternal Ice Keep allow easy travel toward even your newly conquered territory, but the challenges of communication and keeping fed your Hunterpower prevents you from taking control of the prized Lightning Rock location for now.

>Jupiter : Waterproof Mortar
>Un-natural 100!
The Jupiter Tribe made a wondrous discovery in their building material.
Mixing ash, snow-rock and grounded regular crack rock gives a Waterproof mortar.
First, your secret bunkers are waterproofed and their cracks are colmated. Then, your houses are built upon and improved.
The most critical ressource for Jupiter is room, as the Vertical dwelling of the tribe is narrow. The favored way of construction of the tribe is stone-laced mortar houses. The first tries of the new material is promising enough for the tribe to try several-level building next.
Then, the roof are drastically improve by the invention of tiles. But the most curious breakthrough is the tribe's new storage.
A mortar heavy on snowrock builds a earthenware-like suspended building. Sturdy enough to use ledges from behind, claiming new space over the crack's void.

>Breathless : Gate
The Cerulean Tribe comes with a way to maintain contact among tribe : Gates.
The ritual creates an unbelievably short path across the Warp. However, it requires two tribesmember to perform the ritual synchronously to open up the way. Good thing the tribe got access to a Telepathic Trance.

Now...
>How should the tribes evolve?

>>6001382
Cups and bowls and pots! The tribe turns their attention to cooking once more, experimenting with simple slabs of earthenware over the fire sprinkled with mixes of meats and plants and even bits of rocks (salt!?). The more daring tribe members construct crude ovens, filling them with frostflower paste, plants and meats and shoving them into the coals of the fire. A few go even further, boiling water in pots and dumping ingredients in, just to see what happens.

> Building on their fire mastery, earthenware, and knowledge of cooking from the red snow meeting, the GrassGreen tribe tries their hand at frying, baking and boiling just about anything they can get their claws on.

Since GrassGreen now has a psyker population, I will attempt to develop Astral Projection through the Warp. We will travel through dreams until we reach them, establishing a shortcut! This will help us share and develop ideas, it will also help me spy and track down the other Two Legs.
IF I can't invent new technology, I'll steal it. Blueprints, design, materials, the whole lot, I'll stack enough bonuses I can't fail

i will write on the plates of Fatty shells using my claws. less easily manipulated than Ice slabs in a population filled with people that can manipulate Ice.

as for meeting BurningGrass.

The Meeting will be cautious offering some fried Fatty meat as a gesture off good will and inquire if they would like to trade. we can provide fast travel and facilitate meetings with the Jupiter tribe if they want to.

if i can try to nail a trade deal i would like to offer supply lines to some spots in their territory and would take payment in a portion of the lightining rock they could harvest using my help.


as for my own development. create vassal packs to help with power projection, reproductive numbers and use them to hunt for slaves further affield. these slaves might become a valuable commodity in the future.

This era, the Badback tribe suffered two losses. First, they were unable to stabilize more power, despite the weapon advantage bringed by their bows.
Second, the BurningGrass clan refused trading with them.
A few Cerulean members setted East, after hearing from Wild Packs about another tribe of two-legs.
They didn't progressed much. But thanks to their Telepathy, they'll keep advancing while still in contact with the rest of the Tribe.
>Your scouts progressed one hex right. You can still act normally and will roll for travel + new development.

GrassGreen : cooking
>Success!
Finally, some improvements in the GrassGreen tribe. Using earthenware to lay some meat slabs over the purple tubers, you created your first history-worthy dish, Cassolette. This please greatly the Grassgreen matriarch and her daughters.

Whitemane : Astral Projection
>Success!
The Whitemane's tribe can now delve the Immaterium in their sleep. The Ethereal Form is fast, faster than even Badback's merchant running their Webway.
However, they are frail. Not strong enough to carry anything back. Easy preys for the aberrations lurking on the other side of the veil.

BurningGrass : Secure the Frontier
>Unnatural Crit
Your finest Lords are sent to stabilize the situation in your feodal realm's marches.
After a fair amount of four-legs pacification and Hunterpower help to build more heavy doored tunnels, your fighters realized they reached farther than their original mission asked, granting you control over this whole bottleneck.
Furthermore, a fair amount of pack have been pushed south, fighting the local wild packs on their way.
An ambitious young vassal felt bold, and ordered to pursue. This was a tactically sound decision : your better armored, better supplied hunters swept through the exhausted migrants or locals, reaching the prized pile of Lightning Rocks.
Of course, that much lands means a whole lot opportunities.
>Conquest bonus! Free action to choose among
- More Vassals. Strengthen your hold over the Lightning Rocks!
- Research! What secret does the Lightning Rock hold? [Write-in research]
- How to Tame Your Kraken : Fourbeak, almost hunted to exhaustion on your home tiles, are numerous in these parts. Perfect opportunity.
Sadly, your rejection of Trade Deal means that if Badback and Jupiter wishes to lay their hands on more Lightning Rock, they will have to oppose you for it. Be it Raid, Conquest, Thievery or an other way, for the first time in history Bipedal Hunters have a motive to fight each other.

>Ghostclaw : Shaman
The Ghostclaw tribe believes crystallize. The amount of tale about the nature's spirit, honouring the dead in purifying ice, and the dangers better untold lead to a need of a specialized function : the Shamans. Those Hunter are in charge of the Psyking and Spiritual wellbeing of your community.
This opens up the way to greater changes in the Ghostclaw spirituality; changes previously thought impossible.


Jupiter : Conquest
>Two success!
Meanwhile, the Jupiter tribe progressed. Securing and claiming the flatest part of the crack around the huge Light Moss Lake, your tribe have access to a huge amount of Crawlers. With overwhelming amounts of food and the trickle of new member over time thanks to the constant trading with BadBack's tribe, you even made another discovery.
North of your position, the walls of The Crack are deeply creviced. The maze of dark tunnels, dimly lit by the occasional light moss patch, are quite scarce in life - a zone predominantly dominated by Meaty Fatties. The tunnels breach through the walls, giving you a potential to expand more north.
This offers possibilities. But Don't forget my mandate lies south west with goods from the east. Not North.

The daughter returns to her tribe full of tales and stories of strange creatures and the might of the storm! She speaks of wind so strong it jerks and pulls on the body, of bloody swarms and giants who ignore the storm. Lastly as the fire burns low she speaks of the green spirits who pass through the storm as though it were not there at all. Are they spirits of tribe folk past, still bearing their green, undisturbed by the whip and lash of the wind? The tribe speaks on the matter until all have drifted to sleep, save the psykers of the tribe. They quietly depart for a secluded hollow away from the warp damping aura of their brothers and sisters.

There they dream, their spirits untethered from their bodies. They follow the crease in the warp their blank sister has left in her travels and they ride the great storm. The green spirits surround them and they fly together, commanding the wind and riding it, dancing with the spirits, learning the ways of the wind.

> The psykers of the GrassGreen tribe are drawn to the green spirits of the storm in a dream, where they learn of the nature of wind, how to control it, ride it and resist it.

I would also propose a military alliance to provide aid in full force if the Burning Grass tribe push into either of our territory. I suggest that we have a military exchange, so my kind can teach yours of vertical combat and yours can teach mine of bows. Finally, to provide ability to grow without being bottlenecked by the Burning Grass, I would propose that the BadBacks start expanding the warp paths east, and the Jupiters will expand to the west, and equal access will be provided to both the clans throughout the entire network.

>>6004835
That does not sound bad. i feel my relationships with the burning grass tribe will soon break down.

i can teach you how to use a bow and how to maintain it. however the process of creating them will stay in my tribe and will sell them to you at a very modest charge.

as for the warp network.

i was planning to create an enclave in the impassable mountains to create a secure powerposition that cant easily be attacked.

>>6004845
I can promise you that I won't be the one to throw the first stone.

>>6004845
So you agree to the rest?
If we're happy to share our military tactics, maybe I could allow you to access my clay deposits in return for keeping us armed with bows?
Also, I would suggest we build the fortress together, as I have many advanced construction techniques.

>>6003582
I figured out I didn't answered you mah dude.
Yes, they are bigger and stronger, big and strong enough to carry you.

On an era of unmistakable progress ,one exception remains : The Holey Moley are too elusive for the Whitemane tribe.

West of them, the Cerulean have two breakthrough.
First is the Taming of Gliders.
>69!
Mainly kept as comfort pets, selected for their mating chirps, those critter are low maintenance and soon Nest are accomodating a Glider-porch.
Second is their scouts, after struggling close to home, found the IceyOnes territory.
>97!
Knowing they could not make it back in their lifetime, they even built a village, including Mirrorhall gate, to keep the link alive between the village and the mother tribes. Their reports are, as follow !
IceyOne are numerous - no more four legs in the vicinity.
IceyOnes are savages. They live like the wildlings you saw previously, only making peaks and valleys resonate with their songs.
IceyOnes are beautiful. Most of Cerulean wants to give their testicles to Icey matriarch, get testicles of Icey males. They refrained for now.
Finally, your scouts report strange, unseen phenomenas : North from their position, large portion of the rocky crevace of the Crack can instantly get swallowed in ice, which slowly reced over time.

>>6004319
Ghostclaw painting - 40
The Ghostclaw clan developped their own painting style. Overly simplified, members drawn as traits similar to the stove grove lianas, lianaHunter drawing style is born.

BurningGrass:
>Protective runes : 95
Using a sculpt similar to your prized jewel, merging Lightning Rock on stone totem Fourbeak tentacle-shaped over your land is an efficient countermeasure to the dreaded Badback's webway - your most astute psyker say so. Each Noble keeps build their own tentacle, and eventually they spread over your noble's vassals.
This effectively cut out the link between Jupiter and Badback's tribe at the end of the current Era.
Of course, you can lift that restriction - but letting them just walk on your Lightning Rock territory? The matriarch believes it's too much.
>Tame your Kraken : 29
It might be a lack of luck. It might be foolishness to tame an Apex. But facts are the only things you get by attempting this bold move is a few of your better Hunters short of ears, eyes and limbs. No death to report, and nothing good meals would prevent to regenerate.

>>6004632
Grassgreen : 97!
You send you Psyker, in the astral realm, to interract with the "green spirits". They fail.
An expedition is thus mounted, to locate them physically, and use their Eerie Shape Ice power to grab the spheres.
The trophies are dragged back to the tribe, encased in ice.
Everything is awe and wonder. And then the ice melt.
Strong wind surround the immobile spirits. Their warmth melt the ice, turn it into snow and hail instantly.
The matriarch's daughter, first to interract with the spirits, leap forward and slay them one after the other.
They are hollow inside with smaller spirits, taste a bit bitter, and chewy, but not bad.
The experiment is carried again. A couple spirits are brought back. They have a strange influence on wind - influence your psyker learn to master.
>97! New Psyker spell learnt : Shape Wind
A safe way to keep the spirit is out of your tribe reach as is. You'll need a convincing idea, and a good execution.

>>6004835
Jupiter : teach Vertical Combat against bows
Turns out those skills are extremely compatible. With the mutual cooperation of your peoples, both skills are trade to their fullest extent.
In the case of bow, however, you don't get why the Badback tribe is so obsess with their shooting sticks, sleeping with them, always keeping them under hand, use them as everyday tool. Thus, you won't benefit from the +10 from bow-based development.

>>6003587

The Shamans of the tribe believe that this idea of sort might be useful for the future, in more than one way. In truth many in the Tribe don't get it neither the Matriarch, how exactly they are supposed to make this through painting ? But the Shamans insist that the ancestors and the spirits tell them this might be something that can help them. They will be able to craft things, its important and they can't explain ....... because they don't full grasp the meaning. "Not yet" they say "Maybe after second lunch yes ?", other tribesmens say that this could help, but not in the spiritual way they say they can do something else, something for kill-hunt or craft-make. When the decision is made the first attempts of symbols are made, many wanting to make animals and plants, or the spirits and the ancestors ...... or a Ghost Claw symbol.
[Ahem. This is NOT writing, this is something far from it but we could say is connected. :) good]

>>6006623
He wants to create manga

>>6006622
How to put it.
Its not writing because its not what they are trying to do yet, they haven't had the "click" to get there. I want them to make symbols which i consider a refined step of the current paintings. Instead of a wriggly ill shaped holey moley primitive drawing, is a more stable one. They can better replicate that symbol and put it somewhere else for example : say i want idk amulets, or a tribe banner or runes. I want my Tribe to able to put these symbols there.
But i can also use these symbols later on for develop writing.

>>6006623
Depends how much time there is before the rolling part. Short time : nothing.

I don't believe just making symbols would automatically mean i know writing. I think is a step in the process for get there, but it seems not enough for it. At least to me.

In the past you specified we needed certain basic developments for get to other more advanced developments. For example when i did Stone Carving i lacked certain stuff first. I am trying to follow that.

>>6006651
Yeah, but I'm also trying to give you as much money for your roll as I can in case of high rolls. That and game is picking a bit of speed with the last turns.

>>6006660
okay then. So it will be writing, i would prefer to be symbols because i actually wanted to do the examples i mentioned. But i'll roll with it.

>Jupiter+BadBack : trails
The joined effort of Badback and Jupiter tribe led to the warptrail linking their tribes once again.
Uniting their efforts, they trace a way west, in the Frozen plains.
Some curious hunters go back in the Materium. Most see a sea of snow, but a few lucky ones see, for the first time, a few animals never seen in a meat-splat-less shape before...
Jupiter, you have enough stockpiled Crawler cheese and Berry wine stockpile once again to "motivate" Badback into a second action this turn.

>Grassgreen : RopeMaxing - Failure
The Stove grove dry lianas are too frail for the purpose of roping.

>Whitemane : Guard Dahu - Failure
The Dahus are way too nice to serve as guard whatsoever. The idea is laughed at by the council, attempted anyway just to be sure, and validated stupid at the third time Dahus tried to cuddle with Meaty Gliders, at a complex disregard for their safety. Domestication have completely tuned away their flight instinct, and have no fight in them.

>BurningGrass : Stone Weapons - Failure
In theory, weapons could help your tribe's member fight better. In practice, it goes against their instinct.
Thus, training involving said weapons quickly turns into one Hunter throwing the weapons and resorting to bite and claws.

>GhostClaw : Symbol etchings
A few symbols are created. Soon, all your tribe member know to etch and recognize them.
They have potential to grow in several ways...
>Your draw-in provide +10 for next roll related to symbol.

>Cerulean : IceyOnes Integration - 47
Although most Cerulean and IceyOnes agree to move on as one, you have a great deal of resent in your population.
A third to a bit less than half IceyOnes strongly believe they were better before the Purple Hunters invasion. They lived a simple life tuned with nature. Now, they have to work to build Nests, to dig Tunnels, to follow rites, build hidden gardens.
Between one out of ten and one out of eight Cerulean believes integrated IceyOnes was a dire mistake.
They spend days trying to do as few as possible, leeching on your hard-earned food (scarce so up north). Their dumb women entice gullible males with their songs - leading the less able Cerulean Huntress to fail reproducing, growing discontent.
Those two minorities are manageable for now, but very little might turn the fragile domination of your tribe into riots.

Wanted to draw this one for quite some time, but Jupiter's first attempt in the frozen plains was too disastrous

>>6009275
explore the frozen tundra for creatures and plants that might be useful for the expansion/furthering of the tribe.

>>6009275

> The tribe explores the mountains, seeking new ingredients for food, such as herbs and spices, and attempts to incorporate them into their cooking.

>>6009275
>javelins
if the tribe will just throw their weapons and resort to biting and clawing what if we gave them weapons to throw at the enemy/prey before engaging in melee

>>6009275
I would go with “Plan Death” immediately, but I want some positive reinforcement first. So we are gonna conquer. >>6005925
First move, we will use some of the Vassal females to increase our population. We have Fire Ferns and Dahu, we can sustain twice as many Two Legs as before. We will try to breed as many Whitemanes as possible

>>6009407
If your action is "conquer" I'd appreciate a marking on the map (label 1/2 for DC 40/80)

>>6009430

>>6009433
I'm trying to accelerate the game to avoid boring out both you players and me, so yes, yes you can.

>>6009437
I am not exactly bored. I just wish I had more bonuses to counter my bad rolls. The explanations for why I fail feel adequate though. My repeated setbacks are pushing me into more and more esoteric decisions for development. Everyone else is moving forward technologically and especially culturally. I have a plan, but I feel that in the end, a dual empire is my best bet to protect the Whitemane ethnicity in the long run

>>6009467
Ooph, I feel you there. Zero reliability on being able to get something done is really crushing my ability to develop in any sort of coherent direction.

With the creation of symbols and each having a meaning and reason, the tribesmens decide to paint them down and with the wisdom of the Shamans, they are directed in giving a organized meaning to them on well carved little oval stone pieces.

From now on we shall remember better thanks to our symbols we paint, and we shall able to describe more the tribe, world, spirits, death and life around us.

Sure, but we just recently learned the ways of cooking.

There's a whole ecosystem out there that's been recontexualized by the advent of cooking.

This era is marked by an increase of territory mastery for several tribes.
Where Badback and Whitemane succeed acquiring new lands, Cerulean fails to do so.
Jupiter finally reached the southwest mountains; finding a mountain land barren of life.
"Oh? You anticipated my next demands? Good; good. Paving the way before having the good proves you're my chosen one...
Now remember : Get 5 earthenware full of Fire Pod seeds, 5 earthenware full of Fern Roots, 6 gliding wolves, 12 young Dahus and 24 Holey Moleys.
The priority is first the Fire Pods, Fern Roots and Dahus. Second the Moleys. Third the wolves."
Your god is quite pleased. From what you understand, its plan would allow to bring suitable life to this barren piece of land.

On the least succesful side, BadBack was totally unable to notice further life in the snow plains. Jupiter, knowing well the terrain for its exploitation of rock-snow at the rim of the crack, have seldomely sawn life in the plains - indicating this ecosystem is incredibly sparse.

Nothing much of note happened to Grassgreen, sampling every plant, animal and rock of the mountain in their quest for new savours.
Meaty Glider meat? Rarely a danger, most likely an Occasional treat long used by the tribe - especially the Glider Crawlers living on the back of said predator. Glacier Drifter? Inedible blocks of ice.
Their failure is not total however: they are certain there are no new "natural" undiscovered flavors in the ecosystem.
Taming animals in the way of their Whitemane friends might be the way to go to refine their cooking.

BurningGrass bold attempt to weaponize the throwing of disposable weapons hits resistance once again : most tribe's fighter deam it as a weak huntress tool and cowardice.

The most interresting development, in term of civilization, happens east.
The pictograms of the Ghostclaw tribe repend among the tribesmate, expand quickly in number, able to fully retranscript meaning.
They soon are used by the tribe's shaman, which reverences over said rune are found to be perfect channel of Spiritual power
>+3 to Psyker-based runes rolls

One more thing of note : it looks like conquering territories is the greatest way to bolster up a tribe's number.
In particular, BurningGrass empire with numerous vassals, Jupiter with ample territory and demographic boost from Badback's slave and Cerulean with their new integration of IceyOnes are largely ahead in terms of numbers.
Whitemane will require time to stabilize their number before splitting again and conquering more lands. Ghostclaw remains demographically-challenged.
Now...

Have you done pottery yet? Gotta put that milk in something after all. Granted basic earthenware is porous, it's no good for long term storage. I'm also thinking of doing vinegar and pickles, but I feel like an improvement to pottery is called for there. Some nice earthenware bricks might help for road making too.

>>6011855

> Refine earthenware practices with kilns and ash glazes. Make use of the Shape Wind spell to intensify kiln flames in place of bellows, and try out various mixtures of materials as glazes.

There is a simple problem with earthenware. It leaks! Slowly bits of any liquid stored within seep out. This makes soups and stews and other foods a mess if stored for long, and storing water difficult to. But a few pots (those who by luck naturally glaze in the ash of the fire) do better than others, and take on a glassy sheen.

The tribe investigates, trying their hand at building bigger kilns, using Shape Wind to feed the fires and made them more intense. More importantly they pass the pots through the fire a second time, trying to melt different outer layers of materials onto the pot to seal it. Mixtures of ash, dirt and even black and fat are tried, in hopes something will yield better results.

I have wind magic too! I could make the best whipped cream I bet. I'm honestly really sad we're on a deathworld now, because the low ecological diversity is a massive bummer.

Mongolia made it work with just horses. Their religion, clothes, food, art, weapons, warfare, law, education, transport it all involved a single thing as its baseline
(If you ever wondered if there is a “we use this thing for everything our civilisation is built on” type of society in the real world, like Rook’s specie for Ben 10 or the Mantid from World of Warcraft, it’s the Mongols and their Ponies (medicine is kinda the only thing they don’t use horses for, but Horses consume less medicine to upkeep)

You are all about the chaos of Dice. You roll dice for everything, all the time, and they tend to be wildly skewed to the top and bottom of the curve.

Drives me crazy to be honest, because your world building is really fascinating, but I feel like your quests are an endless minefield of dice waiting to fuck the players over. You've made some very fun stories with it though.

I dub thee Bipolar Dice God.

>>6012255
Your quests seem like a trap. You come up with interesting, rarely explored concepts, you listen to the public, you know what the Invisible Hand of the Market wants. You set your trap, we congregate and then you force us to roll dice, knowing full well, that because of how many of us there are, the chances of rolling high and low multiple times in a row are very common. It’s all a front, a facade, so you can post that one meme of your character rolling crit successes followed by crit fails. You are feeding off our misfortune and luck

Horses were central to everything, but the mongols still used whatever wild plants they could find, onions and garlic among them, plus rice and spices when they expanded toward china. And they herded several different kinds of animals as well.

>Secure the motherland.
seeing the pride of her warriors the matriarch comes up with a simple solution. She would send her warriors to conquer the land around the motherland. if they succeeded the tribe would have more land and if they didn't she would be able to push for her reforms.

in the map the hex with the green X is most desirable, orange the second most desirable and white the least.

>Develop Pathfinders
With the failure of the diaspora to claim new lands, the invading tribal spirit inspired the Singing Cerulan to form a cadre of pathfinders who scouted out the herds using clairvoyance and connections to the Gliders to see the world from new angles, the spirit eye and the sky eye. Be unafraid to explore existence with new perspectives Artists. Find the herds, find the best paths, and learn the love of exploration.

Oh so I already checked if the Milk was edible? That’s nice. I can start trading GrassGreen for different foodstuffs to see if Dahu milk changes based on what they eat. For example, I don’t really have a steady supply of Frost Flowers so GG would need to give me some to experiment

Also, QM, tactics involving Dahu aren’t really that effective because Under-Hunters can teleport and the Warp is not yet fucked enough for this to be risky. So, if I want a bigger bonus from Dahu mounts and war tactics, I need to improve Hunter teleportation to work with the Mount. An idea would be feeding the rider’s Mount blood and meat mixed in with their feed, taken from their Rider. If a piece of the Rider exists inside the Mount, maybe the Psyker’s Heart will work for both

You are not heavy on the "teleportation" aspect as a tribe. However, this would be a valid Selective Breeding program in the future.

Ghostclaw Shaman invented a mighty weapon : the Runic Morningstar.
Every clansmen can build an enhanced Stonebleeder. But it takes a Shaman to carve the potent runes of the totem.
Each Runic Moningstar is an unique piece of craft transmitted amidst a lineage. Losing one is an unimaginable stain upon one's honor, making all the spirit of ancestor and past wielder, living amidst the weapon, frown.
> + 7 in Fight rolls. Divide by 2 the efficiency of Armor. Runic. Don't stack with Ice Weapons.

Cerulean failed to find the path. As a consequence, Hunters of Icey descent blame the purple ones for oppression and limiting path onward, while Cerulean-descent Hunter blames the Icey ones as leeches not trying hard enough.
Of course, both of those bad faith accusation comes from vocal minorities.
>Jupiter : Failed by 75
Your effort are fruitless. Each attempt leads to the same result : the Ivy berry wilts in the unadapted territory, light moss lose its sheen, crawlers have nowhere to frolic and Fatties becomes Leanies because of starvation.

BadBack : conquest
>115
The battle for Flatlands will remain in the tribe's memory and shared history.
Flatland is of course an exageration : a ball couldn't roll more than ten meters before getting stuck in any directions at best.
However, with an Hunter's pounce, the jagged terrain is the closest to a plain in the crack. The legends say that 20 Huntress conquered around 1000 km of terrain.
Of course this is exagerated : granted, there were less than 30 warriors. Logistics chains, tending wounds and feeding the warriors were not counted.
Neither where the slaves sent to death as scouts. But it is true that ample terrain was taken, and paved by the WarpWay. Due to how fast the conquest was, the Warpway reach east, over the frozen plains. Badback knows other tribes delve further, as told in the legendary tribes meeting amidst Red Mist.

Such a tribe is Whitemane's, which send a caravan of Dahus directly to meet Grassgreen.
The travel was long, despite access to mounts.
>Free action : trading with Grassgreen!
>Second action : travel back! Good enough roll will improve the Dahu's bonus upon untrailed travel

Said GrassGreen tested extensively the raw material and way to turn them into earthenware.
Although lacking the aesthetic refinement of the centuries-long tradition of Jupiter, multitude ways to build ceramics with various recipes are discovered : Earthenware is more easily mass-produced; Stoneware is more difficult but water-tight (What Jupiter achieved by layering Ice in their pots), porcelain is made using bone-ash and the most expensive to date, and a couple Hunter have witnessed the Vitrification process, which is not yet mastered.
Some Hunter theorized building using square earthenware rocks and roof using earthenware plate molded on backs.
But most are delighted by the possibilities offered to improve food storage and cooking.


BurningGrass expanded North. This new territory, twice closer to the Ever Ice Keep than the tribe holding the Lightning Rock territory, is conquered. Tunnels are built; heavy door are mounted, and tentacles-like sculpture prevents warpway to cross in your territory.
However, your hold of the new region proves challenging : you lack Vassals to rule efficiently. Thus, the rest of the Era is spent consolidating your power and your hold.
>Vassal Creation Minigame!
Your Vassal evolved with the sheer amount of conquest and the length of your feodalism.
Feel free to describe the different feodated families (at least 3, the more you do the more you'll have) and their particularities.

of course, all of you can deal with their own free actions and minigame while also answering the age-old question....

After farewells with our sisters to the north the tribe calls its vassals together. The time has come for the tribe to establish control over a wider region, bringing in more testicals, more food, and more. Each vassal is promised it's own vassals in turn correcting if they can show sufficient valor in the efforts to control the region.

We bring Dahu Calf-Feed-Juice. Vital to the special flank and hind-leg bones of Dahu, if they do not drink enough when young, they end up weak and brittle. This Bone-Juice is good for Hunters too, we’ve had it for a long long time, since we only recently had access to Fire Ferns and Dahu Meat gets boring after a while.
Be careful, some of our Vassals dont feel all that well when they try it. But we got Frozen Bone-Juice and Fresh Bone-Juice and Ichor-like Bone-Juice (which happens if you let it in your Pouch too long near a Stove Grove.
