My people, hearken to me! Now it is the sacred time, and again we relate the history of our people in accordance with ancient tradition.

Since discovering our destiny to create a tribe here in Dragon Pass, our clan has busily worked on improving relations with our neighbors. The Tree Brothers proved difficult to convince, but now all that remains for tribe-making is to convince the Mule Deers as to the benefits of alliance and to perform The Making of the Storm Tribe heroquest. And to make one of our clan members a good Bargainer.

Additionally, the Jenestni have defaulted on their annual tribute-giving.

What I presume clan magic expenditure will be this year. It's a pretty silly stock we have there. The exploration omen makes exploring a very good idea. Give me a direction.

Sorry for disappearing for a while, between work and getting sick I haven't felt up to it. Should be playing regularly starting Friday.

Here's a list of clan assets.

Shrines:
Barntar--Vigor
Elmal--Sun, Shield
Ernalda--Bless Crops
Humakt--Truesword
Issaries--Silvertongue
Lhankor Mhy--Literacy
Maran Gor--Earthblood
Orlanth--Rain
Tarard Riel--Watchfulness
Urox--Smite Chaos
Vinga--Fyrdwomen
Wind Spirits--N/A

Blessings that might be useful on a permanent basis: Humakt (Battle Luck OR Morale), Issaries (Market), Uralda (Calf Blessing).

Treasure: Parentheses are where the treasure came from.

Bag of Winds (heroquest)
Bullroarer (Exploration)
Eurmal's Shield (Trade)
Eye Mirror (Adventurers)
Godbone (Adventurers)
Grey Net (Exploration)
Gustbran's Wheel (Heroquest, godsrealm)
Humakt's Raven Banner (Exploration)
Klanth of Orlanth (Heroquest, Orlanth and Aroka)
Necklace of Axes (traded with dwarves)
Quivin's Torc (traded with a tribe)
Red Leather Mask (Adventurers)
Shimmering Cloak (Adventurers)
Silver Dragon (Exploration, dragonnewts)
Splendorbread (Heroquest, Orlanth and Aroka)
Vargast's Ring (Trade)

The trader has finally showed up. She actually sells several treasures, and sometimes will appear multiple times, with different treasures.

The whirlwind is powerful, but is single use. Orstalor has Excellent Bargaining (and I don't think being a Trickster can screw us over in this event).

I apologize for doing this, but are any of you guys experts at this game? I'm doing an Elmal hard mode run and I've ran into a problem with sheep.

Milk-eyes won't come any more and its been 35 years since I last saw him. I wish I could start a tribe without that assholes event. My only other option is to join the Colymer tribe with my save event that I got and I'd rather not do that.

No, you can join them through an event were they try to strong-arm you into giving them tribute. But with a high custom skill you can convince them to let you join their tribe.

Marriage politics. Joy. The ranking priestess of another tribe wants one of our thanes, who's interested in someone else.

The cooking contest has arrived. We'll get wrecked if we participate normally, and the event counts as a free feast if we pick 2. 1 is a chance to improve relations with a clan of our choice, and 5 will tell you that the other clans are not opposed to tribe-forming...but we still have to wait for Milk-Eyes.

>>28539790
We got them good.
>>
>>28539802
5 sounds good. But 2 is tempting. My vote goes to whichever one other people want the most.
>>
>>28539833
I should have clarified: 5 is off the table since all it says is that other clans are unopposed to tribe-making. We want something with benefits.

Small meta knowledge interdiction.
>>
>>28539802

I don't imagine we can get 1 to move the Rune Ducks to alliance status, then?
>>
>>28539885
hohoh we should cook duck stew

Went with feasting. Didn't seem to help, damn the carls.

>>28539885
The Ducks aren't invited to Orlanthi events, awesome as they are they aren't Orlanthi.

>>28539905
Do you want us to get slaughtered horribly?
>>
>>28539802
1 has the most immediate benefit, the free feast doesn't do much for us because we have food to spare, 5 tells us what we already know, and as you said, entering is useless.

THE TIME HAS COME! We're going to have to be careful if we want to form the Great Northern Tribe.

Next year we'll want to perform Making of the Storm Tribe again to become capable kingmakers, should help kick us into the endgame faster.

>>28539969
yay!!!

oh do 2 first~

Generosity is always a virtue.

What now? Starting immediately will start immediately.
>>
>>28540013

If you think performing the Making Storm etc. quest again is really worth it, I defer to your judgment, but as someone who's never gotten anywhere near this far along, I gotta say I'm rather antsy to just make the tribe so we don't have some random event fuck up our alliances.
>>
>>28540013
oh well i guess we could just fuck up the ducks to get their land later

In the spirit of getting the ball rolling, I decided to start immediately.

>>28540075
We can start immediately and still run Making of the Storm Tribe. The way it works is that once every season you pick a clan, and then next season you meet and determine what you want from the clan and what they'll get in the tribe.

Our last event before tribe forming starts in earnest. What are we doing: trading, exploring, building? I'd like to explore or trade.

>>28540151
send a gift to the ducks

>>28540151
Can we explore our own tula or is everything already found there?

There are two or three events left I'm pretty sure.

Anyone have a preference for hometula exploration or duck negotiations?

Pretty well actually. We want them as best friends though.

They're as blue as they're gonna get without being allied to us.

Let's do home tula exploration.

So how do we start building The Great Northern Tribe?

>>28540204
think you can check via praying to ancestors or something to ask

>>28540298
lets think of a name pre-emptively for one
>>
>>28540277

1628 food produced...
1240 food eaten...
433 spoiled...

We have a 45 bushels of food deficit. Should we be concerned?

An excellent omen for the year.

Okay, that's it for tonight. I'll be out for turkey day, but the day after will see the formation of our tribe. Start brainstorming names, I think we've got ten letters.

Oh, next thread I'll post the stories of the heroquests we did before. KoDP includes a lot of Gloranthan lore, which is a great primer for the Rune Quest campaign setting.

>>28540298
After arranging to meet with a clan, you approach them with a list of demands and concessions unique to that clan. You have to give enough concessions to balance your demands in order for them to attend the tribal meeting.

At the meeting, you convince the other clans to stand by the agreements you formed with them. Once that's done, you elect a king who rules until death. There's a lot of politicking to be had. It's a lot of fun if you've got leaders with the right stats (and kingmaking powers from the Storm Tribe quest).

>>28540375
Nah. We've got a massive food surplus, one good year (not this year) will be enough to cover us for five. We also trade for food, which happens behind the scenes.

Any other questions? I'll be around for a bit while I eat.

Well, our clan is named Fimbulvintr. Which is the period right before Ragnarok in Norse mythology.

Perhaps a post-Ragnarok name would be appropriate, or whatever norse word is used for the creation of the world.
>>
>>28540545
Hoddmímis holt, the forest where the survivors of Ragnarok wait out the fimbulvetr. In all honesty, Hoddmimis might be a better name for the town. Great idea though.
>>
>>28540593
Well, if we're going chronologically, then Ragnarok would come next.
>>
>>28540697
Ragnarok is what we do to the people who don't get out of our way to greatness. Shouldn't worry to much about chronology, we're not Norse, we're Norse themed.
>>
>>28540773
welp! good game for tonight. its like 3am zzz off to sleep.

cya day after turkey day
