you control six merfolk in a river in the middle of a desert. three are male and three are female. One male and One female have legs. The river is 5 foot deep and travels from North to South. Along the sides are reeds. What do?

I propose a dam so we can get to work on our love nests asap.

We should start in like, a little oasis or something but be forced to evolve supah quick you know!? IT ONLY DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IF YOU WON'T LET IT.

you try your weaving skills out some more and create a net/wall that drapes over the south side of your current residence. this takes half a day but it has already stopped a few small, delicious fish.
>>

Okay, so we definitely need to work on the net. Weave more reeds to make nets further north, See if we can catch more fish up there, maybe make a settlement 'tween the two of them.

>15% chance of having wings (called Lillend)
>>
>>27894591
Lillends are generally peaceful unless they intend vengeance against someone they believe guilty of harming, or even threatening, a favored art form, artwork, or artist. Then they become implacable foes. They use their spells and spell-like abilities to confuse and weaken opponents before entering combat. A covey of lillends usually discusses strategy before a battle.

A lillend’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

to the east is now plains but the river is still shallow. What do?
>continue south
>other
this can't be good for the egg
>>
>>27895129
The reeds are dying but still there am I correct? Listen up motherfucker, shit's about to get complicated, We should stay by the plains, plains can grow things. Cut some reeds and simply stick them in the mud in a sort of reed fence around the egg, put leaves over it so the water is absorbed by the reeds and leaves and is constantly keeping the egg wet. We are staying here, in the 3 foot river by the plains.
>>
>>27895150
a-are you sure?
currently it is in one of the females egg pouch (not legged)

Sea wead nets, fuckin sea weed nets nigga, and have Lamaar try and kill some crabs and shit with the stick!!!!!!!!
>>
>>27895194
yay, Lamaar gets to kill things, he likes killing things. He swings hitting crabs with the pointed parts smashing them to pieces (but still salvageable) while the more intelligent merfolk create nets of seaweed. These nets are much stronger and could possibly be used to disable predators.
the sun is almost setting and the egg in *insert name here*'s pouch is to big for her to carry around anymore but the tide is trying to carry in away. What do?

>>27895215

Fold up a net and stick it in the wet sand, merfolk sleep around it to not let it move? would this work? and another name would be like.... Za'than

>>27895233
that will work. Hell, the net's heavy enough without the merfolk. Za'than for male or female?

Female, another male should be named Ro'Shan, then Tali, the female, Rosha the male, Crosha, his sister (But it doesn't really fuckin matter right?) That covers it???

yep
here are the people
Lamaar - legged Male, low intellegence, high strength- 5 days old

Tali - Female, Mother - 5 days old
Rosha - Male - 5 days old

We need to scout for materials to use our tech affinity on. being in the water means that reliable source of wood will be next to impossible to secure, which really cuts down on our options. Oh, and forget about smithing anything without the use of magic, which we suck at.

So are our people actually 5 days old or is that some kind of game abstraction? Because I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a race that reaches sexual maturity in under 5 days having an "average" breeding rate.

Not criticism, I'm honestly curious since it changes quite a bit in how best to approach the situation.
>>
>>27895326
Everyone is asleep but Crosha. The sun starts to rise and with a new day comes a new member of this family. A baby girl. This girl is incredibly beautiful, with colorful scales and human features that could end a war.
What's her name and what would you like her to specialize in (diplomacy, fighting, scavenging, ect,)?
>>27895357
it's to make the game faster. Humans have the same aging rate while elves take 10 days before they'll die of old age. This way we can have more babies faster
>>
Rolled 100

>>27895357
Silence nerd, the desert made breeding alot more difficult cause the babbies needed more water than there was or something

But this is a good point.

Uh. Okay. That's certainly... an approach.

But how about, instead, you turn the days into a longer period than one day. Weeks, months, years, whatever time frame you're comfortable with. Days is just kind of weird. I mean, how's any meaningful information passed on and...

Za'than and Lamaar trek up onto the hot sand. The dryness hurts their feet. Za'than grabs as much glass and shells as they can but Lamaar is interested in something else. He picks up a round white rock from the ground. "I have been discovered!" it shouts. The rest of the skeleton emerges from the sand and attaches it skull back on. "Spy" Za'than states.

Sex is the only commodity of value that we have in excess, and the only one we've definitively demonstrated our ability to increase the supply of quickly. We're on track to double our adult population in the first week!
