>>3117600>>3117612Stockpiling what little provisions for travel we could spare in the form of some rabbits not quite dead yet that we could carry for a week or so before they start to rot we begin to send exploration parties towards the north. We send ten goblins at a time.Since we don't have anywhere to store water we needed to follow the course of the river on our exploration so as to not become parched. Along the way we discover some good fishing spots where the fish practically jumps at you.We followed the river downstream towards the north and we discovered that it ends into a swamp; tasting some of the water in the swamp we discover that in some parts it is very salty. We try adding some salt water to our rabbit while we cook it to improve the taste and the resulting salted rabbit meat is slightly better. The swamp itself has lots of colorful toads. One of our explorers try to eat a roasted toad and dies. We also have our first encounter with an alligator as it runs out of the water and eats one of our explorers. Another of our explorers drowned trying to swim in the swamp. The swamp is full of willow trees whose branches are decent enough for making fire, but the whole place is mostly flooded, it's hard to find sure footing in there.Our explorers also try getting away from the river in all directions for a few days, as long as their parched selves allow them to go without water. We find a forest with tall oak trees in the northeast but our explorers were too parched to properly explore it, they just caught sight of it and turned back towards the river to find themselves some more drinking water. Two of our explorers die of thirsty.Back in town we have some more deaths apparently due to exposure to the elements, turns out being out in the sun and rain all day isn't very healthy.Year 2Leader Giggs Population: 155 goblinsTechnology: fireFood: rabbits, blueberriesWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Assign a shaman > Build something (what)> Train warriors> Research new technology (stone tools, rope manufacture, mudhut construction, fishing, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Other

Rolled 46 (1d100)>>3117680Tired of being exposed to the elements all day we begin figuring out how to build ourselves some shelter. We use the mud we dig out from the margin of the river to build a dome over our heads with a small frontal opening for us to enter. Our first few attempts fail miserably as the ceiling collapses but after a few trials we manage to build a mudhut whose ceiling doesn't collapse over our heads! It serves us well and soon enough everybody in the tribe starts wanting their own mudhut. For now we only made one mudhut as a proof of concept, it gets really crowded when it rains.Year 3Leader Giggs Population: 247 goblinsConstructions: 1 mudhutTechnology: fire, mudhut constructionFood: rabbits, blueberriesWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Assign a shaman > Build something (mudhuts, other)> Train warriors> Research new technology (stone tools, rope manufacture, fishing, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Other

We use our stone axes with the aid of small bone saws we craft with the bones of the rabbits we kill to painstakingly craft a few wooden boards out of the sparse trees nearby in the plains.

We craft many hundred short stone tipped spears over the course of the year, most of the people in our tribe now have their own spear. We could now attempt to hunt larger game. In the plains there are foxes that compete with us on feeding on the rabbits that up until now eluded us trying to kill them by throwing rocks at them and aurochsen, aurochsen being quite defensive of their herds though and likely to fight back, but are massive boons of meat if we manage to kill some - we really need to evaluate whether the death risk is worth the possible reward of getting lots of meat.If we are to use spears mainly for throwing we might need many more though.Year 8Leader Giggs Population: 359 goblinsResources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (300)Constructions: mudhutsTechnology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, primitive carpentryFood: rabbits, blueberries, perchWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (hunt larger game, how)> Assign a shaman > Build something (what)> Train warriors> Craft (stone spears, crates, buckets, barrels, other)> Research new technology (basic carpentry, the wheel, primitive boat making, rope manufacture, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Other

Our hunters target the slower older males that stay farther away from the rest of the herd, sinking our spears deeply into their meaty bodies. The boon of aurochsen meat is very welcome in our tribe. The aurochsen fight back and rare is the hunt in which at least one goblin doesn't end up dying to the mighty beasts before we manage to bring at least one of them down to bring the meat back home. Spears also break during the hunt and will eventually need to be replaced. We try to hunt one auroch every week or so.We skin them with our stone axes and set up some drying racks with a bunch of tree branches and leave them in the sun for the hides to dry. We don't know how to make leather though, we could research it. The pelts as they are are probably good enough to craft waterskins by sewing them with some plant fiber made into string.Year 9Leader Giggs Population: 399 goblinsResources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (256), pelts (50)Constructions: mudhuts, drying racksTechnology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, primitive carpentryFood: rabbits, blueberries, perch, aurochsenWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Assign a shaman > Build something (what)> Train warriors> Craft (stone spears, crates, buckets, barrels, waterskins, other)> Research new technology (basic carpentry, the wheel, primitive boat making, rope manufacture, leathermaking, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Other

With some effort we cut down one of the few trees that dot the plains around our settlement and start hollowing out its trunk to form a canoe. We also craft a couple small paddles out of the sturdiest branches. It doesn't look like much but it floats. We don't have much wood available here in the plains, if we are to keep producing boats we ought to find a source of wood.Year 11Leader GiggsShamanPopulation: 478 goblinsMilitary: 10 warriors (stone tipped spears)Navy: canoe (1)Resources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (219), pelts (50), large waterskins (100)Constructions: mudhuts, drying racksTechnology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, primitive carpentry, primitive boat makingFood: rabbits, blueberries, perch, aurochsenWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Build something (shrine, what)> Train warriors> Improve military (how)> Craft (stone spears, crates, buckets, barrels, waterskins, canoes, other)> Research new technology (basic carpentry, the wheel, basic boat making, rope manufacture, leathermaking, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Other

The tall trees are home to a wide variety of wild life. Our explorers catch sight of a boar and decide to attack it to eat it. The fight goes well for the warriors who pierce the creature's skin with their spears and afterwards make a delicious roast right there in the forest. They keep the tusks of the boar as a token.They continue wandering in the forest for about a week subsisting on what was left of the boar and what fruits they can gather around the way looking for a water source. By then their waterskins begin to run dry and they start to consider whether it wouldn't be wiser to turn back.But the gods smiled upon them that day! On the dawn of the third week of exploration our warriors find a lake. They fashion themselves a fishing rod, dig for some earthworms and after awhile fishing they capture some pike in the lake which they cook and eat. They refill their waterskins and pack some more fish for the trip back home.After another round of wandering more or less aimlessly towards the forest for a week our warriors find the edge of the forest and move west towards the river that ends on the swamp. They find their boat but with ten goblins inside it they find it much too difficult to row upstream with only a couple paddles so they walk upstream with only a couple goblins in the boat rowing it.After arriving at the tribe the brave warriors of the Pirrot pack share their tale with the rest of the tribe.We're running out of stone spears, we should produce more soon.Year 12Leader GiggsShamanPopulation: 484 goblinsMilitary: 10 warriors (stone tipped spears)Navy: canoe (1)Resources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (87), pelts (100), large waterskins (100)Constructions: mudhuts, drying racksTechnology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, primitive carpentry, primitive boat makingFood: rabbits, blueberries, perch, aurochsenWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Build something (shrine, what)> Train warriors> Improve military (how)> Craft (stone spears, crates, buckets, barrels, waterskins, canoes, other)> Research new technology (basic carpentry, the wheel, basic boat making, rope manufacture, leathermaking, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Other

Rolled 74, 14 = 88 (2d100)>>3118646Someone has the idea to create traps to capture fish and this idea spreads throughout our tribe. Our population begins weaving baskets for use at trapping fish that comes up or downstream, the traps are laid daily and checked twice a day, the fish gets in and can't get out increasing our productivity in terms of how many fish we can get with minimal effort involved in the acquisition of said fish. We start catching lots of sturgeon into our fishing baskets for some reason, perhaps they're not smart enough to get out of the basket after they get trapped inside it, or perhaps they're just too large to turn around once they head inside it. The first time we caught a sturgeon we struggled alot to bring such a large fish into the shore, but we learned that we need to do it in groups since it is such a large fish. We mostly seem to catch sturgeon coming upstream, although on occasion we also catch a few going the opposite way. We made so many fishing baskets that there's little room in the river for the fishes to move through other than inside of one of our traps once we lay them all. We might be messing up with their natural migration and life cycle but who cares we're loving to eat fishes almost as large as one of us.Year 13Leader GiggsShamanPopulation: 536 goblinsMilitary: 10 warriors (stone tipped spears)Navy: canoe (1)Resources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (87), pelts (150), large waterskins (100)Constructions: mudhuts, drying racksTechnology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, primitive carpentry, primitive boat making, fishing basketsFood: rabbits, blueberries, perch, aurochsen, sturgeonWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Build something (shrine, what)> Train warriors> Improve military (how)> Craft (stone spears, crates, buckets, barrels, waterskins, canoes, other)> Research new technology (basic carpentry, the wheel, basic boat making, rope manufacture, leathermaking, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Other

Which god should we worship?> God of Fire> Goddess of the Hunt> Goddess of Healing> God of War> otherThe Longstalkers send their exploration parties to figure out what lies in all lands surrounding our tribe tot he east, south and west. The explorers that went towards the east return with tales of having found very tall mountains in which dwell mighty flying beasts, gryphons; there were also a decent amount of wild goats around there upon which the gryphons fed. The explorers who went towards the south followed the river until they found a riparian forest growing around the margins of the river; they found skittish deers grazing in there who fled at the slightest sign of movement or sound. From the forest more mountains could be seen towards the south. The nascent of the river was found in the heart of this little forested area, a spring of limpid waters coming out of the bedrock.
Rolled 89 (1d100)>>3119380The explorers that went towards the west found that the plains keep going for countless miles, to the point we were again running out of water; determined to find out what lies beyond the vast expanse of plains we tried again, this time our explorers were carrying as much water as they're capable of. They saw large herds of auroch in the plains, some larger than the ones we prey upon so there must be some water source nearby. After about a month of walking and subsisting on rabbit meat and foraged food our explorers find the western sea! With their waterskins nearly empty they decide to follow the shore south looking for a river to fill their waterskins for the trip back. They do find a river but by the river our explorers discover a settlement with many large wooden huts. They see a few hundred people, taller than us with pinkish-brownish skin, living in that settlement. Our explorers catch sight of many boats in the sea. They also see some wagons and a large pen with dozens of auroch confined within it. Near the village by the riverside there's a large field with some sort of yellow grass that the creatures dwelling in there seem to be cultivating! Our explorers were briefly sighted by someone in the village who was on top of a tall wooden structure who then started screaming. Our explorers then fled running towards the east and filled their waterskins further upstream before resuming their return trip home.Our explorers returned home and told the tale of their explorations to all our tribe.We continue our research on leather making. We're confident we're pretty close to a breakthrough.Year 21Leader GiggsShamanPopulation: 1262 goblinsMilitary: 20 warriors (stone tipped spears) 10 scouts (nettle clothes)Navy: canoe (1)Resources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (658), pelts (600), large waterskins (100)Constructions: mudhuts, drying racksTechnology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, primitive carpentry, primitive boat making, fishing baskets, leathermaking (in progress, 60%)Food: rabbits, blueberries, perch, aurochsen, sturgeonGovernment: Council of faction leadersWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Build something (shrine, what)> Train warriors> Improve military (how)> Craft (stone spears, crates, buckets, barrels, waterskins, canoes, other)> Research new technology (basic carpentry, the wheel, basic boat making, rope manufacture, leathermaking, archery, brickmaking, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Other

>>3119401We figure out the process through which pelts can be turned into leather, it involves soaking them into water with tanbark for several months; in order to do that we'll need tanning tubs, which require lots of wood to make, wood that we don't have available here in the plains.We now worship the healing goddess in our shrine, the shaman performs various rituals to incur favour from her.

>>3119445We send teams of goblins to collect wood from the northeast forest.The trip downstream towards the forest takes roughly ten days, and the trip back carrying a large log takes quite a bit longer.We can only spare so many people for the logging business though, and they need to spend some time hunting, gathering and fishing along the way else they would starve so each team can only bring back about one log per month.With ten teams of ten goblins each we manage to bring back to our settlement about 120 logs over the course of the year. We could probably set up more permanent camps along the way to resupply in order to make the operation more efficient. Carrying the logs overhead is also very taxing.Should we make this logging operation into something we do constantly?> No, this much will suffice> Yes, we will always need more lumber> Yes and double the amount of teams > otherShould we allow the general population access to the wood for their day to day purposes (cooking, etc)?Year 23Leader GiggsShamanPopulation: 1442 goblinsMilitary: 20 warriors (stone tipped spears) 10 scouts (nettle clothes)Navy: canoe (1)Resources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (519), pelts (800), large waterskins (100) tanning tubs (1) leather (4) logs (120)Constructions: mudhuts, drying racks, shrine (healing goddess)Technology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, primitive carpentry, primitive boat making, fishing baskets, leatherworkingFood: rabbits, blueberries, perch, aurochsen, sturgeonGovernment: Council of faction leadersWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Build something (shrine, what)> Train warriors> Improve military (how)> Craft (stone spears, crates, buckets, barrels, waterskins, canoes, tanning tubs, leather boots, backpacks, leather armor, leather gloves, leather coats, leather hats, leather pouches, other)> Research new technology (basic carpentry, the wheel, basic boat making, rope manufacture, archery, brickmaking, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Start new settlement (where)> Sacrifice (what)> Other

The area isn't as picked clean of food as the one near our main settlement so they also gather lots of fruits in the nearby bushes. There are pleny of rabbits to be caught around there too. Being midway towards the forest it makes it easier for our wood gatherers to get some fresh food with the locals on their way back and forth towards the forest.Our scouts caught sight of a few dozen centaurs hunting auroch with bow and arrow and travelling north carrying their prey. They are bold enough to follow the centaurs and discover that they have began setting up camp near the swamp; a few dozen large tents made out of animal pelts make up their camp, and a bonfire that they keep on burning and roasting food for their people, they also seem to keep some large clay cauldrons boiling water constantly. A few hundred centaurs must live in here. Our scouts are confident that they have not been sighted, but considering where the centaurs set up camp if they bother to scout upstream they'll end up finding us sooner or later so we shouldn't be too confident in our stealth.Year 25Leader GiggsShamanPopulation: 1576 goblins (~400 at the outpost)Military: 20 warriors (stone tipped spears) 10 scouts (nettle clothes)Navy: canoe (1)Resources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (505), pelts (1000), large waterskins (100) tanning tubs (1) leather (4) logs (360)Constructions: mudhuts, drying racks, shrine (healing goddess)Technology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, primitive carpentry, primitive boat making, fishing baskets, leatherworking, basic carpentry (in progress, 10%)Food: rabbits, blueberries, perch, aurochsen, sturgeonGovernment: Council of faction leadersWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Build something (shrine, what)> Train warriors> Improve military (how)> Craft (stone spears, crates, buckets, barrels, waterskins, canoes, tanning tubs, leather boots, backpacks, leather armor, leather gloves, leather coats, leather hats, leather pouches, other)> Research new technology (basic carpentry, the wheel, basic boat making, rope manufacture, archery, brickmaking, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Start new settlement (where)> Sacrifice (what)> Other

Our shaman says that if we want greater boons to be bestowed upon our people we should make sacrifices befitting of the magnitude of the blessings we seek.One of our log carrying teams report that they caught sight of the centaurs watching them near the forest. The centaurs did nothing - they didn't approach, didn't attack, didn't greet us. They just stood there and watched as we cut down a tree and brought it back home.

We roast their meat and eat them that very night.The Pitrot Pack decides to go all out and train 30 warriors.The other factions didn't declare projects this year so they do nothing.Do we want to launch an attack on the centaurs or should we wait for them to strike first?
>>3121507how many people did we see at the centaur camp?
>>3121544>A few hundred centaurs must live in hereWe're not sure exactly how many were there, could be 400 could be 800. Probably less than 1000.
>>3121549we have the ability to press our general population into a milita roll right? 369 of them armed with stone tipped spears at least. probably more with stone axes and shit.
>>3121552Yes we can currently mobilize> 50 warriors> 10 scouts> 369 militia armed with spears> 154 more militia armed with tools, sticks and stones> otherWe could probably mobilize a bit more if we're also willing to send women and older children, although we don't have weapons for them.
>>3121564okay send the scouts to the centaur village and send the warriors and the militia to the northern camp closer to the centaur village. When we get more information on their camp we can move in.
>>3121573We summon our militia and send them alongside our warriors to the northern outpost by the river; keeping this many people fed in that outpost is unsustainable though. We also send the scouts to the centaur village to get more information about them.Our scouts catch sight of a group of about a hundred centaurs moving south as they go towards the centaur village; they send one scout back to the northern outpost with the news and a couple others back to our settlement to check on it.The news that the centaurs sent an attacking party to our village arrive to our outpost with about three days delay.What do we wanna do next?
>>3121590find an ambush the centaurs.
>>3121609Pondering that we couldn't beat them in speed to reach our town in time to defend it we decide to set up an ambush for the centaurs on their way back from pillaging our town.We have our warriors and militia hide as best as they can in the tall grass around the area through which our scouts saw the centaurs moving towards the south, hoping they'll take the same route on their way back.Roll 1d100 to see how effective our ambush will be at taking the centaurs by surprise, DC 60

Rolled 23 (1d100)>>3121627The centaurs head back through the same route alright, carrying pillage with them, all the pelts they coveted so much.But right when they were about to ride into our ambush their leader stops them. "Hold on. Something is off in here. The grass looks... wrong. Drop the loot and ready your bows!"Instead of being right on top of the centaurs as we expected they still were a good fifty feet away from us by the time they ready their bows and begin taking potshots at our troops.We run towards the centaurs to attack them but they're just too fast, outpacing us easily and simply pelting us with arrows as we attempt to close in. Some militia men attempt to throw their spears, and a couple of them even land hits, but the constitution of the centaurs mean that a single stone spear is not enough to get them out of combat most of the time, and the spear throwers then become unarmed, easy prey to the centaurs.Our would be ambush quickly turns into a bloodbath, the second one this particular group of centaurs perpetrated upon our people in a matter of weeks. When we realize the situation is completely hopeless we've lost about half of our forces already; Skorb orders a retreat. The centaurs follow us, picking off our militia and warriors as we desperately try to get away from them. Finally Skorb himself is killed during the combat, an arrow piercing his heart.Of the troops we've sent against the centaurs, only the scouts survived because they managed to stay hidden.***The massacre in the village was total; the centaurs didn't spare females and children, shooting at them all indiscriminately. More than a thousand died that day. The few that survived were the ones who were away hunting, gathering or fishing during the massacre and the scant few that fled and weren't pursued.Our shaman was killed. Our reserves of pelts were looted. A large column of smoke raised in the skies as most of our wood burned away, having been put to the torch by the centaurs. Giggs was killed and his head was severed and impaled in a spear.We no longer have enough people to keep gathering lumber at our previous rate.After this calamitous disaster a goblin hunter steps in to lead our people in this hour of need.> Name new leaderYear 31Leader Population: 734 goblins (~400 at the outpost)Military: 10 scouts (nettle clothes)Navy: canoe (1)Resources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (1), pelts (0), large waterskins (100) tanning tubs (1) leather (4) logs (120) bow (1)Constructions: mudhuts, drying racks, shrine (Nagdea healing goddess)Technology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, primitive carpentry, primitive boat making, fishing baskets, leatherworking, basic carpentry (in progress, 40%)Food: rabbits, blueberries, perch, aurochsen, sturgeonGovernment: Council of faction leadersWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Build something ( what)> Train warriors> Improve military (how)> Other

They go on mushroom assisted trances and gleam wisdom from their respective patron gods.

We should now have some limited tactical options during combat time.The Go'Ghuns appoint Joe Rogan and Tim-Tam as leaders in a sort of shamanistic council group. They take on apprentices and begin experimenting with mixing various herbs and animal parts into exotic drinks. They come up with a potion that uses grinded boar tusk and several rare herbs gathered in the forest that seems to make those who drink it temporarily much stronger! Should we keep producing strength potions?The Longstalkers apoint a new leader named Aragob. They send scouts in all directions around our new home to uncover our surroundings.The explorers that went south find very tall mountains in which dwell gryphons and vast herds of wild goats who eat grass that grows in haphazard patchs throughout the mountains. There are many caves in these mountains, home to many hungry mountain lions. The explorers that went west found a vast sprawling swamp. Plenty of alligators, the terrain is very difficult to move around on foot being largely flooded. There's plenty of fish, weird herbs, insects and toads in there. Our explorers chance upon some broken stone spears in there, clear signs of some level of humanoid activity but otherwise didn't find anyone.The explorers that went east found a forested valley through which courses a river plentiful of fish. Plenty of boars and some deer exists in there, also many frutiferous trees and birds who eat the fruits. They also found the first beehive we ever encountered, were badly stung and tasted some honey. They chanced upon a bear and fled in terror.The explorers that went north found that the forest keeps going for many many miles; the biome changes slightly, with more prevalence of pine trees over oaks like in our neighbourhood; and some wolf packs can be heard howling in the nights. As far as our water reserves allowed us to travel we weren't able to find the northern end of the forest.
>>3125761An offshot of the Longstalkers, the Tkaekrout is formed, a new brand of scouts attuned to their new environment, adepts of setting ambushes and laying traps, they are led by Torg's inspired apprentice, Kexa, an adept scout and huntress. Our scouts traditionally didn't carry weapons but the Tkaekrout consider changing it. They train ten scouts in the use of the bow and arrow and call them snipers.The Ob'nobs, a small faction lead by Pokho, the daughter of one of the scouts who alerted the human tribe to the centaur's aggression, send scouts to spy on the humans' territory to see how they live and hunt. Our scouts approach the human lands carefully under the cover of night so as to not be sighted by their sentries and hide behind bushes for the day to observe the humans as they go about their daily activities. The humans don't seem to have many hunters; the few hunters that we saw use bow and arrow and catch wild auroch. They seem to target a single auroch and shoot a volley of arrows at it, killing it fast; then they scare the other auroch away with torches and then they carry the heavy animal back to their settlement using wheeled carts to once there skin and butcher it. The humans spend a large amount of time feeding straw into food troughs to their captured auroch; they fish on the western sea and have many rather sofisticated boats, made with planks rather than hollowed trunks; and they seem to store their food in a large construction in their village, a granary. Hungry from the travel our scout dares to approach the human village during the night and steal some food from them! He gets disappointed though as their granary only contains grains that are barely edible. The humans make the grains into a paste and cook it in order to make it more edible. Our scout gives up trying to eat human food and heads back home to report on his findings, hunting and foraging on his way back.
>>3125761did our eastern scouts go to the other side of the lake?>>3125777also checked
>>3125777The Bo'truc a faction of light hearted goblins lead by Goma, spent their time crafting canoes fishing and exploring the local waterways. They rowed the whole breadth of the lake and then went downstream west; they found out that the river has many seasonal tributaries that dry in the drier seasons and make it full of rapids in the wetter seasons. The river seems to end in the swamp in the west that is rather tricky to navigate. Upstream the river that goes by the lake courses through a forested valley and keeps going further past it; fishing and rowing upstream for a few weeks our explorers chance upon a rather large settlement of elves in the forest! Their village seems to have more than a thousand people living in it! They build wooden homes on the tops of very tall trees on both sides of the river connected by bridges and stretched ropes that they can easily cross. The faces of the elves seeing a bunch of goblins rowing their canoes through their village is a mist of disgust and scorn. A group of elves with matching green outfits comes running and starts shooting arrows at our goblins; we promptly stop rowing against the current and go with the flow to get away from the elvish village! A few goblins die, and a couple goblins are wounded by the arrows but survive long enough with the arrows lodged into their flesh to arrive at our village about a week later, when the arrows are removed from their infected wounds and they're magically healed by Joe Rogan.

The Bo'truc get instantly interested in mussel fishing and begin fishing large amounts of the disgusting thing. They figure out that it is easier to open the mussel if we boil them first so they develop clay cauldrons to boil the mussels and find the precious pearls.

He trained 20 warriors and 10 snipers and sent the snipers to the centaur tribe; but the snipers found out the centaurs were long gone, no signs of their presence left. He then sent word to us asking if it would be a good idea to send settlers to start a new settlement near the swamp.> Name outpost leaderWe send the Tkaekrout to scout as far north through the woods as they can. They stock up on waterskins and start the trip, foraging for fruit and drinking its juices to save up on the precious water needed to cover longer distances. They travel for a couple months right into the hearth of the forest. One night as most of them are sleeping the sentry is startled by sudden movement in the woods surrounding them. The trees themselves are moving! He wakes up all his brethren and they ready themselves to flee when they see an elf woman showing up from behind the trees. She says"Well it's rare to see goblins this far up north. What's your business around here little ones?"One of our scouts muster the courage to speak. He says in a squealing tone"We're explorers for our kin ma'am. We just wanted to know what lies beyond the forest.""The dark forest stretches all the way to the frozen north, you'll take the whole year to travel it's whole breadth at your current pace, if you don't run out of water first that is.""Do you know of any stream nearby where we could fill our waterskins?""Not really. The nearest river is many miles to the north.""How do you get water then?"The elf giggles"I have my ways. In any case I urge you to turn back and leave now. Otherwise I can't guarantee your safety.""Are your elf friends going to attack us?""Not exactly. You see, this region of the forest is very sacred to us. It's a breeding ground and nobody is allowed in here. If you insist in coming here we'll be forced to use whatever means necessary to keep you out.""Breeding ground? But it doesn't make any sense...""Just leave, it will be better for you, trust me."Our scouts decide to follow the advice of the elf and head back home to report on their findings.
>>3126430We consider taking the biggest boars and learning how to ride them but they're too aggressive for that. We're probably better off raising boars since they're piglets to get used to having goblins ride them.

They dig lots of pits filling them with spikes and covering them with twigs and grass. They also experiment with some snare traps. They check their traps often and change the bait; now and then they catch a rabbit or a boar in them. The snare traps are too simple to catch any smart humanoids though, but maybe the pits can get some unnatentive traveller who ventures into our territory. Our own gatherers need now to be aware of the traps locations so as to not fall on them by accident.The Bo'truc sends expeditions to the western swamp, the eastern forest and the northern forest. They send with their expeditions backpack fulls of pelts and leather with a few pearls intending to offer them as gifts to any sentients we find around there. They decided to collect samples of plants, animals, shiny fruits, shiny honeycombs and anything else of interest that they can find.The expedition to the western swamp manage to gather a number of interesting looking dragonflies, toads, toadstools and some rare swamp herbs. Their advances into the swamp are cut short by finding a patch of flooded swamp teeming with alligators that would be suicidal to attempt to cross. The expedition to the eastern forest gather some honeycombs being once again badly stung by the bees, some very tasty fruits, a number of mushrooms and rare herbs. Once they're close to the elvish town they leave a backpack gift in a small glade for the elves to find it.The expedition to the northern forest travels for about a month through the forest nearly running out of water. They reach the edge of the forest creatures territory and leave a backpack gift in there for them to find it.

They begin hunting alligators for meat and cooking their meat with salty water to improve the taste. They also find a kind of blue frog which is incredibly poisonous and can kill if we simply touch it as an unfortunate gatherer realized too late.The Go'ghun improve their potion making technology creating new kinds of potions; they mix various herbs and boar fat into a powerful healing paste that can greatly hasten the healing rate of wounds and even heal infected wounds which would otherwise be lethal. The paste is almost as good as magic, being able to even heal wounds overnight. We will need to choose which potion we have available to keep producing though, as we don't have enough foragers to gather herbs for both - the strength potion and the healing paste. Currently we'll keep doing the strength potion, tell me if you want to change it.The Longstalkers eternally frustrated by being constrained by food and water in their travels accidentally come up with a primitive form of food preservation after their leader Aragob left his food on the sun for a few days and realized that it didn't rot, was still edible just a bit shriveled and dry. Taking sun dried meat in our exploration trips should make our food last longer and reduce the need for hunting and gathering along the way.The Pitrot Pack wishing to honor their ancestor go hunting the way they did; they return to the plains and hunt an auroch, the alpha of the herd and bring back his horns as a trophie. It's a difficult hunt and some hunters don't make it but in the end it was worth it to honor our traditions.
>>3127478We begin a tradition of having a boar festival honoring Batarr symbolizing our courage and strength to overcome all who oppose us. The Boar Festival involves contests between goblins and boars - who can run faster, who can jump higher, who can win in a combat. Contestants who die during the games are considered weakly and cowardly and are the sacrifices to Batarr. The games culminate with a strong gobling warrior taking a strength potion and wrestling a mighty boar, whoever loses is sacrificed.We finish our research on the wheel! We craft one sturdy cart with wheel that can be used to carry goods back and forth with far less effort than having to drag them or carry them overhead.Year 61Leader TorgShamans Roe Jogan (Nagdea), Tim-Tam the Big Man (Batarr)Population: 3397 goblins (~1100 at the outpost, ~100 at the swamp)Military: 140 warriors (stone tipped spear/stone axe/club; wooden shield; bow and 6 fletched fire hardened arrows each; 20 at the outpost) 20 scouts (nettle clothes) 20 snipers (nettle clothes, bow and 6 fletched fire hardened arrows each; 10 at the outpost); Primitive TacticsNavy: canoe (65) rowboat (1)Resources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (629), pelts (1300), large waterskins (100) tanning tubs (300) leather (10200) logs (plenty) bow (100) arrows (636; fire hardened, with fletching), feathers (1000), rope (50), strength potion (200), healing paste (1), food trough (53), pearls (350), backpacks (2995), leather armor (100) wooden shields (300) cart(1)Constructions: log cabins (300), shrine (2; to Nagdea healing goddess; to Batarr god of war), drying racks, palisade (66% integrity), several animal pensTechnology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, basic carpentry, basic boat making, fishing baskets, leatherworking, archery, rope manufacture, animal husbandry , the wheel, primitive food preservationFood: rabbits, blueberries, perch, sturgeon, pike, chantrelles, boars, mussels, alligatorLivestock: Boar (96)Culture/Religion: Yearly Sacrifice of the Feeble; Yearly Boar FestivalMagic: Healing (Roe Jogan)Government: Council of faction leadersWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Build something (shrine, mud huts, log cabins, timber houses, palisades, what)> Train warriors> Improve military (how)> Craft (stone spears, crates, buckets, barrels, shields, waterskins, canoes, tanning tubs, leather boots, backpacks, leather armor, leather gloves, leather coats, leather hats, leather pouches, quiver, wooden furniture, rope, strength potion, food trough, rowboat, barge, other)> Research new technology (the wheel, brickmaking, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Start new settlement (where)> Sacrifice (what) (free action)> Diplomacy/trade (what with whom)> Other

>>3127480could we get an updated map?try to boost boar taming progress so we can get some riders.this plus the new dried food we could cover a lot of ground when exploring and find another race that is more friendly towards us if our gifts dont change their minds.could also use boars to pull the new shiny cart or help pull the boat upstream
>>3127506>>3127509here's a tentative map. the distances are a bit skewed though, I might make a better map laterWe begin making our healing paste. Our gatherers go about acquiring the special herbs neeeded for the concotions. We can make on average one potion per week.The first few boars tamed are now big enough to be rided! We could now train boar riders!

>>3127548thanks for map. our settlements are by the lake, swamp and river, right? could you color other settlements based on their opinion to us? would be really niceCraft a dozen or two saddles and create the boar rider faction (i'll let others come up with names n shit).Then send them south, south-east, north-west, north-east (nearest unexplored lands).

>>3127577>>3127581>>3127586We craft 25 saddles for our boars.We train 20 boar riders. Our boar riders then form a faction.> Name faction> Name faction leader> Provide fluff> Specify assetsWe then send our boar riders exploring towards the south, south-east, north-west and north-east.The boar riders that went towards the south find a nearly impassable wall of mountains that are very difficult to climb; their boars can't go past the mountain ranges so they return without having explored much. In the mountains they saw gryphons, some mountain goats and a great deal many caves.The boar riders that went southeast were faced with a similar problem to the ones who went south, the mountain range offering a natural obstacle to their efforts at exploring the lands beyond. The local fauna is largely the same as in the south, with herds of mountain goats being preying upon by mountain lions and the occasional gryphon. There's also a certain prevalence of caves around this area.
>>3127715The boar riders sent towards the northwest find a vast expanse of swampland sprawling through the area northwest of our small outpost in the swamp. Unwilling to risk their mounts in the alligator riddled waters of the swamp our explorers don't venture too deeply into it, rather bordering it to see what lies beyond. Going around the swamp eventually you get out of the forest bordering it and find a vaste expanse of plains on the other side. We find a river coming out of the swamp and heading towards the sea. Our explorers find the western sea with its sandy beaches. They decide to go around the swamp bordering it and come through the other side; the swamps are vast, it takes several weeks to go around them, but there's good water to be had in the swamp and game in the surrounding areas is not that hard to find so the trip is simple enough.The boar riders we sent northeast find their exploration cut short by mountainous terrain. A significant amount of wild goats in herds feed the local beasts and various caverns dot the mountains with its many mouths hiding untold secrets. Our explorers catch sight of quite a few bears around these mountains.

They follow the river for as long as they can then they go away from it to avoid the elvish town in the forested valley that lies in the east. They keep on travelling towards the east and discover that the forest ends and gives way to vast hills through which the river that courses through the elvish city meanders. Flocks of wild sheep can be seen roaming the grassy hills which seem largely devoid of predators; although in the night we hear the occasional wolves howl. In the distance our explorers catch sight of a village built into the hills. The inhabitants of such a village are short people, halflings, who have vast farms and raise sheep. They have a towering granary in their village that doubles as watchtower. When they catch sight of our explorers a group of halflings carrying slingers come running after us.

Sadly most of the sheep dies in captivity as they don't adapt to eat leaves from trees we forage for them like the boars do, seems like they need to be raised either on free range eating grass or on a more robust diet than what we currently are able to provide - the numbers of sheeps we'll be able to raise in the forest will be very limited unless we can figure out some workaround.Year 69Leader TorgShamans Roe Jogan (Nagdea), Tim-Tam the Big Man (Batarr)Population: 4697 goblins (~1300 at the outpost, ~900 at the swamp)Military: 140 warriors (stone tipped spear/stone axe/club; wooden shield with raw hide; leather armor; boar tusk helmet; bow and 6 fletched fire hardened arrows each; 20 at the outpost) 20 scouts (nettle clothes; leather armor) 20 snipers (nettle clothes; leather armor; bow and 6 fletched fire hardened arrows each; 10 at the outpost); 20 boar riders (boar; saddle; leather armor; stone tipped spear; wooden shield with raw hide; boar tusk helmet) Primitive TacticsNavy: canoe (65) rowboat (1)Resources: stone tools, stone tipped spears (432), pelts (800), large waterskins (4400) tanning tubs (300) leather (2400) logs (plenty) bow (100) arrows (361; fire hardened, with fletching), feathers (1800), rope (50), strength potion (200), healing paste (400), food trough (953), pearls (750), backpacks (2995), leather armor (0) boar tusk helmet (40) wooden shields with raw hide (140) cart(1) saddles (25)Constructions: log cabins (396; 12 at the swamp), shrine (2; to Nagdea healing goddess; to Batarr god of war), drying racks, palisade (50% integrity), dozens of animal pensTechnology: fire, mudhut construction, fishing, stone tools, basic carpentry, basic boat making, fishing baskets, leatherworking, archery, rope manufacture, animal husbandry , the wheel, primitive food preservationFood: rabbits, blueberries, perch, sturgeon, pike, chantrelles, boars, mussels, alligatorLivestock: Boar (968) Sheep (7)Culture/Religion: Yearly Sacrifice of the Feeble; Yearly Boar FestivalMagic: Healing (Roe Jogan)Government: Council of faction leadersWhat do you want to do for the year?> Improve food acquisition (how)> Build something (shrine, mud huts, log cabins, timber houses, palisades, what)> Train warriors> Improve military (how)> Craft > Research new technology (brickmaking, other)> Send exploration parties (pick a direction)> Start new settlement (where)> Sacrifice (what) (free action)> Diplomacy/trade (what with whom)> Other

>>3128249Wew, you've been busy. Glad you stopped at faction time, I don't get off work for a few more hours. Anyway, thanks for running, looking forward to it. G'night.
alright boys we need to plan out these faction projects. which faction is the best at diplomacy? is diplomacy our best option to learn farming? we were able to communicate with the centaurs and humans so if we capture halflings instead of trading for knowledge we should still be able to get the info. what other projects should we work on? we have a large population but we have difficulty supplying ourselfs when we tranfer them to the military. We need to build a larger military to be able to raid safely. ideas? if we put down farming we will alleviate some of the growing paints we are having with out livestock. The boars and the sheep are limited by what we can feed them. we are limited by our livestock. so we need to follow the train of thought obviously. what else can we do to alleviate these problems and increase our logistical ability to great a larger standing army? the halflings are positoned in the hills and we may find minerals of value there. Another option would be sending teams to the mountains where the caves were. There might be dwarves but definitely there will be minerals we should build wagons before any military action. so that we can transport the unmounted forces and other supplies. we can also use the wagons to trade with any of the civs we can convince to be friendly. i want to eventually raid the humans for the classic goblin feels. and the centaurs need to be payed back for what they did to us. the elves don't wish for contact so maybe we should put effort into being friendly with the halflings?>>3128249thank you for running it man, i told you, we would get more people.
>>3128249thanks! please bring a map update when you get back :)>>3128267>which faction is the best at diplomacy? none of the existing factions would be any good i believe. we're quite big now so maybe create some ruler class faction for administration and diplomacy?>is diplomacy our best option to learn farming? kidnapping a halfling is probably better, i doubt they will teach us such a valuable thing unless we pay with every last thing we have and our souls...plus we wouldnt have to let them know what we're doing.>if we put down farming we will alleviate some of the growing paints we are having with out livestock.hunt the plains to the south, away from the centaurs?or setup farming by the river as close to our main settlement as possible, but i kinda like the idea of not having a big farm in the open as it's hard to defend and you cant hide. mongo(l)blins on boars lets goget some more sheep and boars and let them graze the plains, that way we can be more mobile if needed.we should really explore the caves in NE and S / SE

>>3128387With no knowledge, I had to transfer to my phone.
>>3128387like the aurochsen in the plains the humans are keeping
>>3128303i only advocated for farming so that we could feed our animals. so we could eat meat and have mounts and raid for the supplies we dont have.
>>3128387>The Wanders got a diplomatic boon.do they have any admins too? would make good ruler/organizer class now that we're getting big>>3128419we can start with some simple shepherding to feed our livestock and improve our food situation and use the time to research something more useful.also we can become better raiders if we're more mobile and be less of a target if we dont have easy targets like farms for them to attack us.
>>3128433>>do they have any admins too? would make good ruler/organizer class now that we're getting bigi do not support having foreigners take charge of our civ.
>>3128443agreed, only true members may lead

>>3128481>The humans are the best choice for our next raid/military target for that,i meant we grab some from the steppes and tame them like they did if we need bigger work-animals, but yeah we should raid them soon probably.>Originally admin and leaders but we gotta make a written language first it seems. we can start with diplos then and have them teach stuff orally and give us more control/insight in our other settlements>>3128455>>3128443btw Wanders is a faction they're already in the council
>>3128492yeah we know they are a faction and on the council but we dont want them to be the sole leaders or have a bunch of administrative powers over the civ
>>3128507makes sense, so we'll just have them teach us the ways and do it together with them
>>3128481>we're all goblins right??
>>3128492So as of now, it seems humans are the main focus for the next ten years, whether it's raiding or stealing animals from them.

>>3128267I'd like to send the Longstalkers to the mountain caves to snoop around. They could even make an outpost there in the future.The Bo'trucs need to build a port at the swamp outpost and begin mastering the murky waterways. We could send a crew upstream to attempt diplo with the elves again. With Goma's charming, carefree personality she can pass as a hippie wanting to learn how to be more in-tune with nature to learn some nature magic or something.If the halflings are near water we could go there too. Trade them pearls and pelts/leather for food/seeds, slings and whatever else of value they have.We could also send crews east to begin collecting honey if we had some leather coats to protect us from da beez.The most important thing about transportation and merchantile is trying to be the middleman/retailer.e.g. If our trade goods aren't in demand, then we can simply be the delivery service for elves/halflings/whoever's goods and charge a percentage of whatever cargo we're carrying depending on mileage and quantity.Even if their goods aren't something we're interested in, buy some anyway so we can retail it to someone else.
>>3128797Stale fantasy stereotypes are comfy.
>>3128960>>3128797ye, but we could use front-men with the races that dont like gobs and try to be like a black market, but we'd have to get some smart gobs for this.tho i prefer raiding
We have a lot of boars, and if we also want to get some bigger animals to use it would probably be a good idea to found an Animal Husbandry / Shepherd faction to properly take care of them all.We should get some of those wolves we heard near the Halflings too for our riders and/or the scouts/explorers (boars aren't exactly quiet and nimble creatures).
>>3128246>Bo'trucsThe Bo'trucs need to build a port at the swamp outpost and begin mastering the murky waterways.We also send a crew upstream to attempt diplo with the elves again, maybe a nice pearl necklace gift.

>>3129512Does anyone get to set project or just the person that created the faction?Which ones havent set anything yet? I'll write suggestions.
>>3129529i dont think it matters. desu we have too many factions already. we should let the inactive ones fall off.

>>3129658Longstalkers should also go get some wolves from nearby the halflings for more quiet and nimble mounts to move around better and sneakier than boars.
It was supposed to be one faction per person, you guys are casting votes for multiple factions and multiple people are casting conflicting votes for the same factions, it's getting complicated for me. Please only cast a vote for a faction that you created yourself, otherwise just let the faction go inactive. If you haven't created any factions feel free to create one. If you created more than one faction, which you weren't supposed to do, consider merging them.Reorganizing factions (merging them, etc) requires agreement from all the involved faction creators so as to not let someone simply get rid of someone else's faction on a whim. (see how I didn't allow the tkaekrouts to substitute the Longstalkers even though their fluff asked for it, because the Longstalkers creator never agreed with his faction being destroyed)Now I'm gonna try to make sense of all the posts you guys made in my absence, might take awhile.
>>3129733Thanks for the clarification. I guess people should claim their faction(s) and use the faction name when they post to make it easier for you.I can take over one if anyone has multiple.But we certainly dont need 3 scout/thieves factions.
>>3129640That was my faction action, I just used my phone instead of my laptop.
The Gurz'Udon will begin patrolling our territory, and watching for any potential threats.
>>3129892We already have Tkaekrout stealth scouts, I think yours could be more useful doing something else.

>>3129733understandable thank you for clearing that up. pitrot pack is going to train more warriors.
>>3129903train more, or develop some tactics, or use them to hunt the plains to the south?if you dont feel the need to only have boars you could go get some wolves by the halflings so we can get more sneaky and nimble mounts for our scouts.
>>3129907That's not a bad idea.The Gurz'Udon capture some wolves and attempt to begin taming them.
I need an action for the year besides the faction projects.

>>3129924The Tkaekrout start producing larger traps aiming to catch large animals and potential mounted invaders. They basically dig even deeper and larger pits and start experimenting with traps that swing logs once triggered. For those endeavors they craft some extra rope that will be needed for their more elaborate trap designs.The Bo'trucs build a port at the swamp outpost and begin mastering the murky waterways. They travel further and further inside the swamp through alligator infested waters in their canoes. One day deep in the swamp they catch sight of a lizardman hunting alligators with his stone tipped spear. The lizardman promptly departs with his prey, without minding our explorers much if at all.The Gurz'Udon are sent to the forests in the east to attempt capturing some wolves. They track the wolves for many weeks until they find the wolves' den. They then steal some wolf cubs to raise in our tribe. The number of wolves we'll be able to raise will be limited as they are carnivores and likely don't breed very well in captivity. Still, if we have some children be raised getting the cubs used to be riden we could have wolf riders in a few years time.
>>3129932The Wanders begin toying with concepts of letters and numbers. The subjects are far too complex to be mastered in such a short notice though. Those venues of research are open to us if we desire to pursue them, but it will take some time.The Longstalkers are sent to explore the mountain caves in the south and southeast of our forest settlement. They find many a mountain lion's den and the occasional sleeping bear; in one of the caves they find a set of about twenty very curious carved stone bottles that they bring back to our settlement. They seem to contain some liquid with unknown properties. They also find a cave complex that seems to extend many miles into the mountain, they explore it for a few weeks and find a great deal many mushrooms of various types, bats, weird flying insects and really big spiders down in the tunnels. Some underground water deposits dotted the caves, dripping from stalactites. They didn't find the end of the tunnels but decided to turn back before they get hopelessly lost in order to report their findings. The Pitrot Pack trains 60 more warriors to bolster the numbers of combatants in our tribe. There's talk we already have too many warriors considering our current food production. Perhaps we could send them to a raid so as to reduce their numbers profitably.

The only thing cultivable we managed to find were blueberries though, so we plant a whole field of blueberry bushes in neatly arranged rows in a cleared patch of forest. We'll need to discover more crops if we are to include them in the row of plants we cultivate.We send a group of scouts to the human village in preparation to a future raid and to see if we can learn anything about keeping and breeding auroch. The humans have a bunch of crops whose straw they feed to their auroch - proper grain crop not like the blueberries we grow at home. Our scouts steal some grains from the human fields, we could try planting the human crops ourselves, but in all likelihood even if we manage to grow them it will take years to scale up production with such a small sample as the one our scouts managed to secure. The humans seem to have about 40 guards on patrol duty at any given time, and it is likely that they can summon a large militia in case of trouble. Their settlement seems to have close to two thousand humans living in it. Besides grains they seem to eat lots of fish from the western sea and a decent amount of meat from auroch they cull from their herds. They don't seem to hunt very often, but when they do they take carts to bring back home their prey.

I think it's time to raid the humans, but I want to see what the rest of you think before I suggest it as an action.
>>3130043thanks for map!>>3130047plant the grains at the river outpost>>3130073we could use bowmen in the assault, need to train some, remember the centaurs?
>>3130073i would like to have a larger for than just our military. also we might be better off building wagons to transport the footmen so they aren't effected by the travelling. we might have to just move slowly on foot but we may be discovered, remember our first sighting of humans they were travelling on the plains
>>3130078our warriors all have bows and shields and spears
>>3130084we havent trained anyone with bows yet afaik, and we only had 100 bows until a little while ago so doubt they're very proficient.
>>3130092they have been hunting when bows for decades
>>3130079the carts aren't a bad idea
>>3130093yes but we only had 100 bows, we need more trained bowmen for our assault, we could get some trained mounted bowmen for raiding caravans too
>>3130094>>3130095okay so lets train boar mounted bowmen and creat boar drawn carts so we can move at the same rate of speed. classic blitzkrieg
>>3130097yes!
>>3130047improve military: train mounted archers
>>3130099+1
>>3130099>>3130103Due to our larger population we began hunting 20 boars per week rather than 10. We can only hope we're not going overboard and hunting above the carrying capacity of the forest. We might want to build some more tanning tubs in order to turn the roughly 1000 pelts we'll be getting per year into leather, with 300 tanning tubs we can only process 300 pelts per year.We begin training mounted archers. These warriors spend their time on the back of boars and train to be proficient in the use of bow and arrow while mounted. We train 20 mounted archers and produce the necessary gear. Our warriors don't have quivers to store their arrows, carrying only six arrows together with the bow by hand, presumably having to drop them in order to engage in hand to hand combat with their favored melee weapon be it a stone tipped spear, a stone axe or a club, we might want to craft some quivers for them if they are to focus on ranged combat and to have room for more arrows, each quiver can hold 30 arrows. The general population also doesn't have access to quivers since we don't have any in stock, having to carry by hand the amount of arrows they intend to use when they go out with a bow hunting.

fuck we need torches. >>3130323also the focus of the attack is to kill people to cause panic while we loot valuable items like metal tools/weapons, grain, animals.

>>3130339nah the torches are for burning the town, using them for light makes you night blind and gives away your positon. i think goblins have night sight anyway.
>>3130343yes, to attack at night,kill and capture humans, loot metal tools/weapons, steal livestock and food, and escape. starting a fire in the village is also desirable.

>>3130479>>3130489>>3130500Our volley is innefective at best, being mostly stopped by the human shields, we barely kill anyone. Our boar riders are barely able to stay on top of their boars while the damn things are rushing towards the humans and are inneffective at trying to kill the human guards, the most they do is scratch a few of them.Our boar archers aim also seems very prejudicated by the crazed conditions of combat, they're barely able to land a hit.The bowmen trying to fire against the main bulk of our forces miscalculated their position, were too far and couldn't reach us with their arrows. The guards near our boar troops though deploy a very large amount of arrows into our boars and goblins with very precise aim - most of our mounted troops have been wiped out. Only 5 boar riders survived unscathed the onslaught of the human guards.What do we want to do next?> Try another volley before the humans get into melee range> Run away while firing potshots to try and put some more distance between us and the humans> Bows be damned, grab our melee weapons and rush towards the humans> We don't like our chances in this fight, let's flee while most of us are still alive> other
>>3130519lets see how bad the damage is in QMs next post before we start changing tactics. we should be able to do some damage. We can afford to lose our entire force. They can't
alright bois here me out. our best option to do a lot of damage now is to try to roll again for a volley and then fight it out. remember we can just spawn a new army very quickly. If we die we die glory for batarr!the other option is to do a fighting retreat shooting potshots at them as we pull back. the problem is that this will give them more time to orginized, will give them a morale boost seeing us flee. it will give them advantage on our backs and they may choose to push. There is no where to hide int he plains. We would have to abandon our carts and run.
