Eight families; their ancestors having lived near each other for thousands of years, sharing a common language, have all decided over the course of time to settle in one place. This is one of the first permanent settlements the world over, and marks a step into a new age. Here, in a hidden fertile valley tucked away at the head of a river, just a day's travel away from the harsh desert plateau in the shadow of the world's mightiest mountains, you all have begun to build a greater life. Beyond the means of your nomadic ancestors, you tend to plants that you yourselves have raised, build houses of mud brick, and support each other. Some of you may have been living here for some generations, and some may have just decided to join your peers. That is up to you. But the matter now is that the game begins with you all living together. Though your tiny village holds less than a hundred people, it may one day yet grow into a great city. However, for now, you all will just be doing what you can to survive. The past year was bountiful, and you all feel confident about the future.

This marks the beginning of Turn 1. There is no external event roll this turn. No players currently have any special titles or holdings. Fluff up your families, and roll your 2d100 actions.

Rand looks over his mud hut with his woman and useless child too young to look after melons. He thinks is better life than in desert.

1. Rand starts only planting seeds of bigger sweeter melons. Other melons that taste like shit get eaten but seeds thrown in river.

2. When planting is done Rand takes his spear and starts trying to hunt fish in river. River fish would allow Rand to trade for more things, and compliment shit tasting watermelons.

The Istoren family has always been an active and happy one. They have developed a drink from their crop called cocoa and they claim it has given them great amounts of energy and that it tastes good with everything. Azlatan is the current head of the family and from his size it seems like he may have benefited most from this lifestyle.

1. Expand the orchards to increase our bounty of cocoa

2. Look for herbs that we may be able to add to our cooking pot.

In addition, another new family comes to join your settlement. The Mason family is one most of you know, as they have traveled the area for many generations and speak the same language as you all. They are skilled in making tools out of flint, and offer to take up such duties for this settlement as a whole.

>>53357

Artabazus and Artaxerxes head to the river to hunt, eager for more meat in their diet. The cat doesn't directly assist necessarily, but his presence makes it easier for Artabazus to spear the fish as they are caught unawares. He brings in a decent haul, enough to feed his family and their pets with nourishing meat regularly, but it's a bit too time consuming for now to try and take any more than that.

The Ibarss family also focuses on refining their mud cat sculptures. They are thought to offer protection for the young cats, and ward away danger. With practice, your family is proven to be very competent artisans, making cat statues about as lifelike as you could expect from mud. Not only are the young cats enamored, the rest of the villagers are also quite impressed. Your family's standing rises, and you are beginning to be held in high regard.

>>53358

Rand's method of only planting the best melons seems to be reasonable, as the next season comes around and few of the new batch are worse than the one before. He decides to keep it up because there's no reason not to. One day the results may be more notably evident.

As for fishing, Rand has little luck. He can catch a few here and there, but not enough to really sustain him and his family. He's not quite skilled enough to make the time and effort invested worth it. He'll have to practice more or find a more efficient way to go about this if he wants to get more out of fishing.

>>53359

New to the settlement, the Ichar family decides to use this fertile land to expand their camel herd. They don't have to do too much, as their camel population expands greatly with access to all this food and water. Camel meat and hide are now plentiful in the village, and the villagers are all grateful for the Ichar family to have joined them.

However, the Ichar family finds the mud huts of the village much less comfortable than the hide tents of their ancestors. They decide to go back to the old ways of housing, setting up tents where they please as they tend to the camel herds. They offer a bit less protection from the elements, but are more convenient overall.

>>53360

The Istoren family grows cocoa, a delectable treat. In an effort to increase their output, Azlatan plants more cocoa trees in an effort to expand their orchard. However, it ends up being futile. Some of the plants end up too close to the old ones or each other and die competing, some are planted in places that they don't get enough water, and so on. His crop only increases a bit, and much less than he would hope for all the effort he put in planting. It seems he will have to consider conditions more carefully if he wants to grow more cocoa successfully.

In contrast, Azlatan's search for flavorings goes quite well. In the hills nearby, he finds a type of chili pepper with a nice kick. It takes a bit of getting used to, but he thinks it could be a great taste to add to nearly any food.

One summer day, all seems calm. But the animals begin to act unusual. The camels stray away from their usual herding grounds, and the cats make an excessive amount of noise. A few hours into the day, the earth itself begins to shake. A great earthquake strikes, toppling trees, collapsing some mud huts of the village, and cracking the earth of the fields. A few villagers even die from falling debris. In the aftermath, everyone attempts to clean up and recover from this disaster.

1&2. Rand, after not eating for a few days and a little delirious from the heat, proclaims to all the other families that the spirit of their lost brothers are still bound to their bodies and will not leave this earth. He then takes the bodies children he lost and gathers the fallen trees. He burns the bodies in a pyre until there is nothing but ash. Marking out a plot of useless land outside the village and near his home, with straightened sticks with the tops cut into four and tied together again, he mixes the ashes with mud, keeping the ashes separate from each other, and asks the Ibarss to make them into cat statues. If anyone asks he says that if he is to stay on this world he would wish to stay somewhere beautiful.

It was only right that these be some of the finest work they can do for Rand and for all those that have lost that they may be appeased. These cat statues must be beautiful to keep away all the evils of the world. When you look at one you feel lighter, and perhaps what is offered to them will be as offerings to those that have passed. The cat will protect their spirits.

Though not the most recent, the Arsachid Clan was one of the later ones to join, only arriving within a few generations. Unlike most clans who moved in huge groups, the Arsachid originally raided the areas they eventually settled on and off for decades, smaller clan branches claiming more and more of the area until the Clan head was finally convinced it was worth settling. The Arsachid Clan was very devoted to their desert life, using their knowledge of the area and its rough and dangerous terrain to their advantage in raiding those non desert dwellers. One thing convinced them to move. Dates. This fruiting tree had many, many uses, so many that the Arsachid considered them holy, and useful enough to give up their ancestral lands to get more of them.

1-2; Cultivate the Dates!!!!!! Get more more more more!

3; The Date Palms are very useful, they can be used for bedding, roofing, and insulation, to keep heat out and in, We should adapt the Date Palms to the rest of our village homes so we're more healthy to cultivate Dates.

Delirious and motivated in the wake of this tragedy, Rand decides that the spirits of the fallen villagers are not at peace, and comes up with funeral rites. He makes an area near his house into a graveyard, and places the statues there. All of the villagers are moved by this act, and begin to look to Rand as a sort of spiritual leader.

>>53366

The Ichar family takes their camel herd down the river for a while, but finds that in short order, the fertile land ceases and gives way to mostly dry savanna. Their miraculous pocket that they've set up their village in is anything but the norm. To keep grazing the camels, they are forced to stick right next to the river the whole time. Though they do see many groups of antelopes coming to drink.

Their attempts to breed milking camels are slow, as few seem to exhibit the traits they want. Further, many of the family can't even handle milk themselves, lessening the incentive.

>>53367

The Ibarss family is commissioned to make the memorial statues for each victim of the recent earthquake. They take to the task with gusto, and make very nice cat statues, each one with its own individuality embodying the person it is a memento of. The villagers all like the statues, and it's decided to keep up the tradition.

>>53368

The recent earthquake seems to have hit the date growing area particularly hard, and it's enough trouble just to get production back to normal. Unfortunately the Arsachid Clan couldn't expand their date production at this time.

The use of the fronds of the date palm prove extremely useful however, and the Arsachids start to use them for all kinds of purposes. Their homes are now outfitted with them after rebuilding from the earthquake, and the rest of the villagers look on in interest at the unique roofing and such.

>>53369

Azlatan goes around after the tragedy offering his new drink to try and lift spirits, and it proves to be a hit. From then on, many villagers often come around asking for another taste of the delectable treat.

To facilitate this, Aztalan attempts to grow his own peppers nearby. However, it's slow going, as they seem to take slightly different conditions than the cocoa trees. It will take a bit of getting used to before he can get a decent crop of peppers.

The windy season is particularly harsh this year, as gusts burst through your village's hidden valley to blow away anything it can catch. The roofs of the Arsachid houses are torn off, the hide tents of the Ichar are made airborne, and in general people's things are tossed about. It's not very destructive in all, but it is quite troublesome and makes life a bit more uncomfortable.

1. Azlatan is glad to see that others are able to appreciate his concoction and that they are eager for more, but constant begging is rather tiresome and onesided. If people truly want more of his drink then they will need to contribute some of their own produce as well. For he has a grand plan that would see everyone's works exalted by creating what is known as a festival to celebrate life and if there is one thing that Azlatan knows it is how to enjoy life.

2. Not to be deterred by this initial failure Azlatan continues his efforts on cultivating the chilis.

"Look on Artaxerxes my sons" They watch the cat coil himself up and strike, waiting for the moment when his prey's perception has faltered. "Bring yourself inward and tighten your strength.

Rather than let himself be hounded for chocolate all the time, Azlatan comes up with an idea. At the peak of the harvest season, when he has the most of it available at once, he throws a great celebration called a festival. He brings a lot of chocolate to share, and the rest of the villagers also bring their own goods as well. It ends up being a fantastic party and everyone loves it. It's unanimously decided that it should become an annual tradition

Azlatan's efforts to cultivate chilis begins to pay off, and he now has a nice garden that consistently produces results

>>53389

You spend some of your time downriver hunting antelopes, and you manage to take down a decent amount of meat and pelts, but it is both exhausting and time consuming. It makes you easily understand why your peers decided on the settlement

Further down the river the scenery is not much different, but you catch glimpse of some other humans in the distance. You know from stories of your traveled elders that these are likely the Southern savanna nomads. They are said to speak a slightly different language, so communication could prove difficult. In addition, they are wary. They keep their distance as they watch you, not giving you any opportunities to get close

>>53390

You begin to get serious about your work as gravemaster, and discuss in advance proceedings for many tribe members. A lot of them have their own preferences, and now that you know, things should go quite smoothly when the time comes

You also train your children in your duties, and they take to it slowly, but steadily. You encourage other villagers to speak with their spirits of the departed through the statues, and only a few take you up on it right away, but it seems to make them feel a lot better. Perhaps the practice will spread with time

>>53394

The Ibarss family comes up with an ingenious idea to form clay into containers for food. They make bowls, plates and vases engraved with pictures of various foods. The idea spreads wildly, and the artistic talents of your family prove to be in high demand

Otherwise, Artabazus drills into his sons the importance of sustaining the martial traditions of their ancestors. The family still gets a good portion of their diet from their own hunting, owing to the large amount of cats they have, and it's made sure that they keep their prowess up

>>53396

Taking a break from trying to expand their date cultivation, your family heads to the mountains. Flint is not good enough a material in your eyes for weaponry, you are sure that there must be a better alternative.

1 The mixture of bone ash and wood ash makes for a beautiful glaze. We can experiment with different woods and bones from animals, when not making funerary statues, to attempt for different colors.

Seeing the water resistant virtue of the plates gave the Ibarss family an idea to make many plates and adorn the roof of their hut for when the rain eventually relieves us of this dry spell to stop any leaks.

2 However, after the first batch they realize that if they aren't the same shape and size it won't fit very well. The Ibarrs family tries to measure out lengths in marked sticks along hands, feet, and fingers. The cats enjoyed playing with the sticks.

1. While vola seems to think he made a mistake Azlatan has an instinct for what makes a good drink. He starts experimenting with a bunch of pots that were thrown out as failures from the Ibarrs family to see if any of them has something special about them to get the taste he is looking for.

2. While Azlatan is quite content with his two wives he has a bunch of children that will need to have a mate of their own. Rather than just waiting until they are of age and then wait even more until they find someone. He goes preemptively to the village to see the other patriarchs about arranging marriages ahead of time and come to a deal. This way he can gain some influence immediately and secure the most promising candidates to marry into his family before anyone else has a chance.

Rand and his wife successfully build a new structure connected to their house for the purpose of storing food for extended periods using these new vases. It goes decently well for the most part

However, the vases full of mashed melons and dates are left to sit too long and end up becoming a disgusting slop. Your wife tries just a tiny drop and get nauseous enough to want to throw it all out

>>53401

Your clan tries to formulate a way to hunt from range. Throwing spears is still a bit closer than you would like, and one of you comes up with the idea of throwing rocks. However, your arms alone are surely not good enough to cut it. Some of you still think the idea has merit, but you'll need to think outside of the box

Meanwhile, you set up a huge camel roast where you know the nomads will be able to see you. You set out plenty of goodies to lure them in, and your plan works. A small group cautiously approaches, and you wave them in invitingly. They partake in the feast, and you all have a good time. Indeed, your languages are different, though many basic words share some similarities, so the gap is surely not insurmountable

>>53402

The Ibarss artisans begin to experiment a bit more with their sculpting material, and find some ingredients that give the final product a wonderful finish. Their works are now even more beautiful, and they figure out enough to be able to make their works black or white depending on the additives

They also try to standardize measurements to make things the same size, but run into a problem. While the artisans all start measuring with sticks and appendages, several artisans are very different sizes, and the sticks people use are also all different lengths. Their works end up being internally consistent, but not to each other's works

>>53407

As Rand's wife is about to throw out the gross mush, Azlatan intervenes, thinking he can make something of it. At his insistence, he is given the vases and their contents. However, even his known exotic tastes can't work with any of this, and he ends up vomiting many times for the trouble. Somehow even after this, he ends up thinking it's not without potential

Otherwise, Azlatan goes around talking marriage prospects for his young children. While he gets a couple of agreements, it doesn't do much to bind him closer with any other families quite yet. At least it seems he won't have to worry about the guaranteed continuation of his family line, for now

He begins to build a great bonfire; dancing and singing as he does. Finally taking a hunting spear he soaks the haft in the river and calls upon the spirits of water in the air by twirling it around before pleading for rain by throwing the spear into the heart of the fire.

With the proposals going slower than expected he figured that perhaps he simply needs to prove how capable his children are to everyone and he conveniently already set up the public platform to do so. just before the harvest festival he will set up various games in the village for people to participate in. Then declare a competition during the festival to see who is the best. Naturally his children would have be trained well before people were aware of it so when they are introduced they will do much better in comparison.

Your family invests quite a bit of effort into expanding date production, and it finally begins to pay off. With a huge amount of trees, you're finally pulling in a large surplus of dates every harvest season

As for the stone, you manage to search farther up the mountain and find a vein with plenty of it. This obsidian turns out to be fantastic for cutting tools, putting the old flint ones to shame. In fact, it's so sharp that it's a bit tricky to haft onto a handle

>>53412

After a bit of experimenting, Viola manages to get something somewhat drinkable. She's not sure how well this could possibly catch on, but she hands the crude alcohol off to Azlatan

Meanwhile, Rand beseeches the spirits for rain, and devises his own ceremonial rain dance. The villagers are impressed at the sight, and rain does in fact follow the next day, so they are all convinced of its efficacy

>>53413

The Ibarss family kicks off a custom of growing small plants in vases filled with soil. It's not much, but it helps to sustain the family without too much work. In addition, they help propagate the use of their vases to carry water for plants, which many other villagers pick up for some of their own crops

The artisans all get together to designate a head artisan, whose measurements they end up using. Filing all the reference sticks to match up, their works are now all consistent across the board

>>53416

To promote his wonderful children, Azlatan devises a plan for the next festival to have a series of games for the children of the village to compete in. He has his kids practice hard for a long time, and it pays off, as they impress everyone with their skills come harvest time. They become admired by the other children of the village, while the adults expect them to grow into fine adults themselves

His experiments with the crude alcohol do not go quite as well. He tries to cook some food with it in a heated bowl, but none but him end up being able to stomach the result. Azlatan writes it off to taste, and continues with alternative recipes others may hopefully like

>>53418

You begin to experiment launching spears with other sticks. The premise seems to have promise, but the execution is far too difficult for any of you to pull off yet. In the cases that you manage to actually hold the stick and spear steady long enough to launch it, your accuracy is way off the mark. It does seem to get more speed and distance than by arm, though

2; Create a clan inheritance and rule system. We are a warring people, but we must also civilize now. Inheritance will be settled by the great noble clans sending their best candidate once the previous Clan Head is dead, and they will duel for supremacy. If none send a claimant, then the Clan Heads first born son will claim the position. The Clans may support the clan heads other sons if possible. The clan branches below the Head, may pass their land equally to their sons, with the land going to their brothers sons if the head has no sons. The Chief Wife of the Clan branches will perform as Druids, with their daughters serving as druids under her. The Clan Head's Chief Wife shall be the Head Druid and closest to the Gods, even closer than the Clan Head. The Clan Heads other wives, and the Clan Head's Chief Wife's daughter shall serve as druids under her, equal in power to the other Clan Druids when within the Clan center, but lower when within the other clan branches homes.

You keep working at the spear throwers, refining the design. You think you have a good one, that can keep the spear steady enough to throw, but it's still tough to pull it off. But at this point it may just be a matter of practice

As for your relations with the nomads, you try to gain their trust by offering to let some marry into your family. The nomads take some time to deliberate, but they eventually agree to send both a son and a daughter of their tribe to join your family, in exchange for a good number of gifts, of course

Azlatan finally makes a huge breakthrough when he sets fruits and meats aside in alcohol to sit for long periods of time. When he comes back weeks later to test them, he finds them still perfectly edible. He also finds that eating a lot of them makes his head light and mood chipper

In such a mood, he goes to Artabazus to try and explain an idea he had for a special pot that can make purer alcohol. However, he slurs and stumbles over his description, and the man doesn't really understand. Exasperated, Azlatan shares some of his alcohol soaked dates instead

>>53423

The Ibarss family tries to standardize the making of house building materials, but unfortunately, they try to do so after being gifted a great many alcohol soaked dates. They try to work, but stumble all over themselves and get nothing done

After that embarrassing episode has passed, Artabazus gathers the clan to try and hash out the method they will use to keep themselves eminent in the future. It's a good thing he did, since the topic sheds light on what could have been a nasty conflict. His son, who is close to of age now, has been concerned about the traditional hunters and cat-rearers being displaced by the artisans that have quickly risen to prominence. Many share the sentiments. This issue blocks any proper organization for the time being, but tensions in the family are now in the open rather than festering in silence

>>53424

Rand tries to expand his watermelon fields, but has little success as many of his seedlings wash away in the loose mud

After trying Azlatan's new creations for himself, Rand decides to let the spirits guide him, and sets off west out of the village. He makes it a few minutes out before drunkenly stumbling down a hill and busting his foot pretty bad. His kids eventually find him hollering a few hours later and haul him back to town. He's laid up for a couple of weeks, and the foot never quite heals right, forcing him to walk with a hobble

Your family begins to use palm fronds to haft the obsidian, making effective tools reliably

They also use this time to establish clan rules, given that they expect to grow much larger in time. They establish an inheritance system, accounting for future branch clans that split off from them.

Emerging from the Deeps woods nearby is the Aldaeri, A family who consider the trees holy conduits of the divine spirit of the Earth mother, and as the houses in which the souls of the righteous dead dwell. These souls, seeking once more to be among the living, demand to be used for all manner of shelter, tools and other odds and ends, for they seek the warmth of human touch once more. AS such the Aldaeri are master-woodworkers (as much as cavemen can be, anyhow) and now seek to spread the glory of the Earthmother and the joy of the reunited departed to this growing "city"

1. A first token gift from the Aldaeri to their new neighbors, nay, brothers, would be a sampling of fine wooden containers for water and food, made from the sacred Alder tree from which the family takes its name.

Now I know. Using the power of the spirits costs a price.

1. Expand the watermelon farms now that the heavy rains have finished.

2. With the new clans in the village with new beliefs he decides he must learn from them. The weird clan that found obsidian and basically follows our beliefs but says only women can be shamans should be ignored since they obviously haven't seen Rand's Rain Dance. The new clan that brought the strange wood trees with them shall be spoken to and their beliefs incorporated. Not too dissimilar the Earth mother shall be the great spirit of earth that inhabits the roots of the world. The spirit inhabits the trees as they grow from the bodies. He will also argue against using them as tools now that they have settled and leaving them in a garden so the spirits are not accidentally lost or scattered as the tools break; showing them the funerary gardens with the statues as examples.

He is also the pinnacle of masculinity which means out of all the men he is the best candidate to do so. Getting advice from Rand about digging a giant hole and fasting (a little dates wouldnt hurt anyone) he prepares the ritual that would see great fertility befall upon his house.

You set up regular trade with your new relatives in the south as they begin to build their own village along the river. They are quite thankful for crops in particular, as they need to start growing some themselves to sustain the village. In return, they trade many types of meat and hides from various savanna animals that they regularly hunt, as well as red dyes which they claim are very valuable

Further south from the new village, your clan travels until coming upon a steep drop. A large waterfall takes the river down to the lowlands, and in the distance you can see the savanna give way to forest. And the sheer size of this forest puts the one around your home to shame

>>53439

The Aldaeri family emerges from the woods with intent to join the village. To this end, they bring gifts. They share their carved wooden containers, which make a good alternative for pottery in certain circumstances. The villagers take them gladly, happy to know that the crafters of such will be living here from now on

They also share the devices they devised to call waterfowl, carved from the same alder. They aren't perfect, but blowing into them makes a sound with a clear resemblance to the calls. The waterfowl population here is low, so they aren't exploited too much, but the creation is considered potentially useful nonetheless

>>53440

The Montastel also choose this time to come to the village, leaving behind the nomad life. As their first effort after joining the settlement, they go out to hunt as they have always known. With the help of their hawks, they find some success catching hares, but keeping them in great numbers seems like a fool's errand, as they run away any chance they get

They also gift their new neighbors some of their hawk feathers, which are regarded as quite beautiful. The token is appreciated by the villagers

>>53441

The Ibarss artisans try to put down the dates and get back to work, but while they get the actual measurements decided on, no bricks actually get made. There is too much tension on the topic of succession, and it keeps anyone from working effectively

On that note, Artabazus makes his decree that the clan head must prove himself in their ancient skills, regardless of how much they become artisans. His metaphor with the plates seems to go smoothly, and everyone accepts his decision

>>53442

With his fields back to normal, Rand expands his watermelon production a bit. He starts to get a bigger surplus, and soon enough has a good amount to trade

He also hobbles over to the newly joined Aldaeri clan, and speaks with them as the village shaman. He learns of their beliefs on the spirits, and tells them of the village's own. While he doesn't convince them that using the spirits in their tools is bad, they are quite impressed at the sight of the grave statues, and the notion of being able to speak with the spirits of their ancestors this way

>>53443

Azlatan comes up with a drunken idea to commune with the earth in a homemade fertility ritual. He digs a hole and disappears down it for many hours before his kids eventually drag him out. All he gets for his trouble is a massive headache and stomach trouble from being drunk and hungry, as well as scrapes and cuts all over his body. He doesn't feel like this ritual worked

He goes back after sobering up to explain his kiln idea again, and he does a bit better, though the Ibarss family is a bit too preoccupied right now to really work things out, and tell him to get back to them

1. Seeing Azlatan struggle to contact the spirits to improve his fields yield Rand steps in. Trading for a few dead hares he removes the bones and places the meat and blood into a clay jug with a lot of water. He burns the bones, crushes them to ash, and throws it into the mixture. He then adds water and earth, asking the spirits to give the vitality of the hare to the mixture, and mixes everything together into bloody mud. He then sloshes the mixture around the fields.

2. On the note of using the spirit of animals Rand gathers the bodies of cats that died of natural causes, and only those that died of natural causes, he burns the bodies and crushes the bodies to ash as he did in the previous burials. He then takes the ash and mixes them with clay. Forming the clay into small tablets with holes to put string through and marked with a cat's paw he asks the cat spirits to continue to watch over the tribe from the world of spirits and protect the wearers of these talismans from evil and pesterous spirits. He also warns the tribe not to ask him to make these with the bodies of cats that were killed as a cat that died hating a human would only become a cursed charm.

He instead devotes his free time to taking extra good care of his land and to expand his crops.

Without further ado, your artisans whip out a huge load of bricks, all congruently sized. You renovate a few huts with them, and they are not only functional, but look pretty nice too. Though there is the problem of potentially bumping into them too hard and knocking them over

Going back to the idea for plates to keep the rain out, the new system of measurements helps these tiles fit more properly, but there's still a bit of trouble keeping them from sliding off

>>53448

While the Ibarss incorporate clay into their houses, the Aldaeri go the other way and start to use wood. They can easily carve poles to prop up something simple like a hide tent that nomads use, for example, but they try to go beyond that and make a complex frame. By carving out slots to put more poles in, they can hook them all together. This results in a very sturdy tent construction that needs not fear any but the harshest winds

More woodworking is done, this time resulting in smooth canes meant to aid walking. Some villagers use them on long trips in the wilderness, but they more often find use from the elderly and injured to assist them

>>53449

Rand attempts to remedy Azlatan's botched fertility ritual, as he mixes in all matter of elements to bring vitality to the earth. He finds a bit later that he's invited a great deal of flies and other insects instead, and they do nothing but cause trouble

Not deterred, Rand makes charms intended to let the spirits of the cats watch over the village. He tries to limit it to only cats that died of natural causes, but while he is working, several of the charms crack ominously. You are sure you must have mistakenly made some cursed charms

>>53450

Your hunters make out once more searching for worthy game, and they come across the nearby herds of gazelles. There are a great many of them, and they should be easy to hunt regularly

Any attempt to keep them however, is an abject failure. Your hunters try to pile up wood to keep the gazelles that they capture alive contained, but they always jump right over and escape

>>53451

Your tribe goes back to working the camel skins, this time intent on producing a soft leather for clothing. However, all your attempts end up producing a hard and immalleable substance, impossible to wear comfortably

The use of hairs goes a bit better, but it is still quite difficult. Weaving proves to be extremely precise work, and a huge amount of effort goes into one simple blanket. You do make a few though, and they sure are comfy

>>53452

Your family makes to grow in size, and they do what they need to, at a greater rate than before. However, this increased effort results in quite a tough year, as more of your clan is unable to work and are busy child rearing. Productivity drops harshly, and the family has a rough time keeping everyone fed

In that time, some of you find that hyenas will come after a wildebeest hunt to scavenge. You can toss them some meat and they will eat it, but it's not clear whether the creatures can actually be tamed

Azlatan gets back to focusing on his fields, and he manages to at least get his bug problem sorted out, so Rand didn't do any lasting damage. Efforts to expand the fields are stalled, however

Attempts to tie their legs with grasses are chewed through, all obstacles they set to keep them penned in are jumped over. They figure maybe they need some help

Hearing about the success of that clan that found the black rock, some hunters head for the mountains to look for a stone of their own suitable for weapons. Disaster strikes, as the party is set upon by a ferocious bear that tears right through them. Multiple hunters are killed, and the ones that get away to return alive are severely injured

>>53457

Artabazus' plan for the tiles is to use a new technique of his own design, to hammer bits of obsidian to keep them in place. However, the sharp stones end up damaging the tiles when he tries. After going through a good deal of tiles, he decides that perhaps this isn't the material he needed

On the other hand, the effort to record things on clay tablets gets off the ground decently. The craftsmen start making simplified versions of the pictures they carved onto their works, for convenience sake, when they use the tablet records. Even the less artistically inclined can somewhat manage these new symbols

Your family tries to clear the hyenas from the area by hunting them and scaring them off, but there are just too many for you to handle, and some of them always run before you can get them anyway. You got some hyena skin and meat, but it seems like they will be sticking around

You also look around for a clay alternative, but you don't find anything quite malleable enough. Falling back to clay itself, your family begins making clay products of their own. They aren't the level of the Ibarrs clan, but they are perfectly serviceable as containers in their own right

He returns to the river to try his hand at fishing again, this time with a new tool of his own design. The two prongs prove effective, and he is catching fish with a much greater frequency than before

Searching yet again for more herbs, Azlatan finds this time a plant growing lavender. It smells nice, but even he thinks this one has limited use for cooking

Work on the camel leather continues, and through some good old fashioned trial and error, a process to soften the leather is eventually created. It's now perfectly wearable by people

At the waterfall cliff, you take your time to find a way down to the lowlands. You do eventually find a path, but it is steep and rocky. The perilous trek is too much for your camels, and must be done on foot. You eventually reach the bottom. but the forest is no longer visible without the vantage point you had before. It would be quite a long journey to reach the forest without your camels like this. Though there is probably a longer way around somewhere that can accommodate them

After embarrassingly trying to make more spears like they were novel, you try to shift gears to making wooden boards with the new sharp black rocks. Unfortunately, you end up cutting your hands a lot during the effort, unused to just how sharp these rocks are

1. Azlatan attempts to build up his herb garden once again with the addition of lavender.

2. Both of Azlatan's wives seemed to take a particular liking to their own herb. Pyra really likes the smell of lavender and so she has been spending time trying to find some way of extracting its scent to put on stuff like clothing when she does laundry. Bor on the otherhand really enjoys the taste of mint and has been noted to have particular good breath. Both have been working together on extracting these properties while their husband supplies them herbs.

The Ichar clan sends out men to hunt the bear. They track it down, but the fight is brutal. Three of your young men are killed and as many are wounded, though the bear does eventually fall

Back in the village, the women get to work on making new clothing. However, the work is extremely slow and difficult. Only a few sets get done, and at this rate it would be impossible to outfit the entire village

>>53468

The Montastel hastily build a hut to treat the wounded from the bear attack. It ends up being a shabby little thing, but it will have to make due

And make due it does, as many of the Montastel find that they have a gift for the healing arts. Setting limbs back in place, stanching wounds, they manage to keep nearly all of the wounded from dying from their injuries

>>53469

Your clan focuses highly on the extermination of hyenas. They don't manage to get them all, but they now often run at the very sight of you, and tend to stay away from areas around the village

Your efforts at finding another tamable animal fall flat once again, as all you're able to find this time is some mice

The Aldaeri send their hunters to help the others take down the bear, and they fight valiantly despite the difficulty. Some of your hunters are wounded, but none are killed from your clan

Trying once again to carve wooden boards using the black rock, your craftsmen make a terrible mistake. They attempt to use the obsidian as they had handheld tools of other stone, and ended up cutting their hands up something fierce. They became unable to work while their hands healed

>>53471

Artabazus comes up with a plan to get the bear drunk with alcohol soaked dates. The plan is set up, but when the time comes, the bear ignores the bait and lashes out at the hunting party, causing widespread injury. His son is one among the wounded

>>53472

Azlatan is able to start growing the lavender much more effectively than the mint, and he starts to have a good amount of it available to him

Azlatan's wives make good use of these new herbs, with Pyra washing her clothes in a pot of water with some lavender thrown in for a pleasing scent. Bor has taken to chewing on mint leaves regularly to improve her breath, and suggests the same to many other villagers

>>53473

Before the hunt, Rand gathers the party before they set out for the bear, and blesses their journey, calling for the protection of the spirits. He stays back during the brutal fight, and gets others to help him retrieve the fallen to lay them to rest when all is done. Afterwards, many of the hunting party confide in him that they are sure they survived only thanks to the protection of the spirits

1. We shall once again attempt the planks with the sharp pieces of rock, but with thick strips of leather from the excess products of the slain bear covering our hands. We shall call these "gloves",and hopefully they shall spare our hands from cuts.

2. A further refinement of a wooden tool is envisioned by our craftsmen. Perhaps we can turn the simple club into something more useful, a handle being the basis of the tool, but instead of a simple thick piece of wood, a relatively blocky, square piece of wood shall rest on the end of the handle.

After taking down the bear, you create a totem from its pelt and bones, and set it up in the middle of the village. Everyone who sees it is reminded of the magnificent feat it was to slay it, and the people's belief that the bear's spirit was made to submit leads to a sort of collective pride in the village. From now on, villagers will often present offerings at the totem, especially during the harvest festival

The women of your clan try to get together to figure out how to best make clothing, but they just end up arguing over whose way is best and they get nothing done

>>53477

While searching for medicinal plants, you come across a bay laurel tree, and take note of the oily leaves. After some application, you have reason to believe that it can help accelerate the healing of wounds when applied

You also go back to make some more proper huts, and end up having a good amount of space to treat the wounded, assuming you don't face a much worse disaster than this

>>53478

Thinking of a way to stick the bricks together more firmly, you try creating mortar. The idea seems solid, but you can't seem to quite find an effective mix. It ends up being too sticky and clumps together, or too liquid and can't hold onto anything

Besides the artisans that were involved in its creation, the rest of the villagers don't take very well to the symbol system. They feel like it's a waste of time, and they'd rather just remember what they need

>>53479

You get back to your planting, specifically starting on those strawberries. However, some pests slip by to get into your field and eat up most of them before they can grow

>>53480

Your craftsmen crudely cover their hands with leather strips, which does protect them, but it also takes a big hit out of their dexterity. They are able to make some of the desired boards, but the going is quite slow

Another has the idea to creating a pounding tool with a handle, entirely from wood. It's simple enough to plan for, but getting an effective result seems like it will take a bit more time, since the ones they end up making now are off balance, or poorly attached at the head

>>53481

Your clan leadership is hesitant to see the obsidian transferred around so freely, and starts putting measures in place to restrict it. From now on, a guard will attend to the source of the rock on the mountain, making sure no one else accesses it. Your family is also all told clearly that no bartering is to be done for more of the stone unless the deal goes through the clan head

Searching more and more for tamable animals, you finally find a population of llamas up the mountain a ways. They are fairly docile, and seem like they could be kept without too much trouble

>>53482

You attempt to get a good crop of mint going again, and this time you succeed. You start pulling in plenty enough to get most of the village nice breath if they wanted

You also try once more to make a distilling device, and it ends up being basically one pot upside down on top of another with a hole cut in it and a wooden carved tube sticking out. It's crude, but it does manage to do what you envisioned

As they get bigger, they start to cause trouble, attacking your cats and stalking the village's livestock. Eventually you are forced to let them loose in the mountains after you are sure they can fend for themselves

You keep up work on the clothing despite the difficulties, and though you have trouble coming up with any particularly efficient methods, you get better at it all the same. You're at the point where you can make a few sets to trade away on occasion

At the cliff above the lowlands, you set up a simple outpost. It's nothing impressive, just a simple hut with a place to leave your camels, but it will do the job. You can now leave someone up here to watch them while a party heads down

You tend more to your newly planted strawberries, and manage to make them multiply explosively. You have more strawberries than you know what to do with

You disapprove of the Arsachid clan restricting the trade of the obsidian, so you make it a policy to not trade with them until they ease up. Life goes on however, as the Arsachids have plenty of fruits of their own without need for yours, and no other families join in with you so far

>>53488

With the use of your new healing leaf oils, you manage to get nearly everyone in the village into healthy physical shape. Everyone feels great, and the village has never been in higher spirits

Wary of any potential violence that could be sparked from a rivalry, your family sets out to find another herb, this one decidedly less healthy. You end up finding a purple flower, that's unpleasant to even the touch. This Wolfsbane proves to be extremely deadly when tested on animals, and humans will no doubt fare little better. You doubt incapacitating is an option for this plant, this is a plant for killing

>>53489

Azlatan tries to distill various things with his new contraption, but the thing is shoddily built and the results are less than stellar. He can barely get much oil out for how much he puts in

Azlatan's son Cha goes to the Montastel to try and learn some of the healing arts, but it seems his timing is poor. When he asks, he's told that even if they wanted to, it's not possible, as they've just finished treating every single injury in the village and are now taking a long break. Maybe he will have better luck at another time

>>53491

The Aldaeri get to work and do a proper job making those leather gloves. They make each of their craftsmen a personalized pair, thin but firm, and perfectly fitted. The results are fantastic, as each craftsman ends up with a very comfortable and practical set of gloves to work in

With their new gloves, they craftsmen refine their wooden tools to new levels, including that hammer design they were trying. They can now crank out the wooden mallets like nobody's business

You try to domesticate the llamas, and have at least a bit of success. They stick around and don't shy away from you, but you are yet to be able to make them do anything helpful

The Montastel build yet another hut, but this one for research. It becomes a sort of medical base of operations, where they study the effects of all manner of plants on the body. With this, any such study should go smoothly

The heir to the Montastel messes with the dangerous wolfsbane much more than one would usually find comfortable. While he hasn't poisoned anyone with it, he's tried out many ways to apply it to animals. Sneaking it in some food as bait, and putting it on the end of a spear and stabbing away both seem to work quite effectively, and should be just as applicable to humans

The Aldaeri improve their wooden frame from earlier, fit over a proper leather covering instead of the rough hide, and create the yurt. This dwelling proves to be extremely comfortable, as it can breathe better than the mud brick housing

Building on the leather craft, they also start to make leather front body coverings, resembling an apron. They aren't the masterwork that the gloves were, but they prove to be quite functional

Your family builds a large mud brick wall around some of the village's houses, and covers the whole thing with a huge camel hair tent. For as seriously resource intensive as it is, you only manage to get about three houses covered, but they are protected from the shade for most of the day

You instruct your family not to trade with the Arsachids, following Rand's lead. However the trader blood can't be swayed in all of them, as a few continue to stealthily make deals they aren't supposed to

You hobble on down the river to the southern village to meet with their shaman. You are decently known from the visits of the villagers, so you are welcomed warmly. You talk on the spirits with your counterpart, and come out in contention. The village here also burns the dead, but they then set their ashes upon the wind to free them for all time. They know of your custom to make guardian statues, but they do not approve. Perhaps it is because they only just moved out of their nomad ways, but they think the spirit should be free to go wherever it pleases above all else. Your attempts to get them to reconsider are rebuffed, and though voices are never raised, you are sternly told that they will not change their ways before being sent home

>>53518

You continue domesticating the llamas, now focusing mainly on rearing the young ones. They grow up in proximity to humans, and thus seem to be most comfortable with them. Only time will tell, but they could also prove to follow orders in time

You search for a good, thick type of tree to plant around the village. You end up finding a good candidate, a type of cypress called ahuehuete which grows very stout. However, successfully planting enough of them in the manner desired is another matter altogether

>>53519

Taking his prototype to Artabazus, Azlatan tries one more time to describe what he would like. With the visual aid, the message finally goes through, and Azlatan gets his proper distilling device

I believe that even such a complex task as home renovation can be done quickly and easily if you find different stores in advance, choose building materials and find specialists and workers. For buying bricks, I advise you to visit this store https://brickwholesale.co.uk/bricks/wienerberger-bricks/ which has a really good selection of building materials at affordable prices.
