[Karnewarrior]

After searching through flotsam and sand, you come across a chest! Inside is an advanced weapon, made of some silvery, incredibly strong metal affixed to your usual stick.

LOOT!!!

>Take Weapon

[Dracken]

Hmm,going off of the assumption that this is Earth,we are probably dealing with the Chinese or Japanese,and if either of them have gunpowder weaponry,we are dead.

[NRDL]

LOOT!!!

+1

[LordSlowpoke]

You seem not to be aware how much of a tech boost we would get from sending it to be researched. Maybe we'd magically discover bronze? I don't know how this tech tree works.

>Send weapon home

[RulerOfNothing]

Why would we develop bronze from studying an iron weapon? (at least I think the silvery metal is iron).

[NRDL]

Just take the darn weapon, it doesn't matter what it gets the tribe, it's shiny, the chief gets it. 

[Karnewarrior]

3 loot, 1 send home.

You decide to take the weapon for yourself and head into the forest, it's silvery steel tip glinting in the afternoon sunlight.

The husks of dead trees surround you, skeletons of carbon and charcoal. Many have broken in the flame, leaving scattered bits of wood in the ankle-deep ash, and broken trunks littered about. The effect is spooky, like walking into a graveyard. One warrior whispers a prayer to MOA MOA.

The ash thickens as you get deeper into the forest. You now have a choice.

>Head west, towards Ash mountain and deeper into the forest. There is still smoke in the distance in that direction, but you doubt the volcano has any erupting left to do. The tracks also seem to lead in this direction.
>Head north, into the uncharted lands. A great many things lie out there, to be explored and discovered. However, there are no human tracks leading that direction. The ash is lighter there too.

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

West! Follow the tracks.

[Roboboy33]

West! Follow the tracks.

[NRDL]

West! Follow the tracks.

[Karnewarrior]

You come to the foot of Ash Mountain as the sun sets.

Smoke billows from it's gaping peak into the sky, tiny faery-lights of spark and ember carried away into the night sky. The stars shimmer quickly behind the rising waves of heat. The tracks lead yet father up the peak, but a rockslide has blocked off the path.

>Continue up Ash mountain another way
>head north
>go around Ash mountain.

[Roboboy33]

Continue up the mountain another way and look around at the landscape when we get there.

[NRDL]

Continue up the mountain another way and look around at the landscape when we get there.

[Karnewarrior]

You continue to the top of the mountain a different way.

Luckily for your quest, you soon merge with the tracks again and begin following a oddly picked path. It begins to rain, and thunder claps from far away. It feels like the mood is lit for dark matters, but al you find are more tracks. Perhaps some other part of the island is more appropriate.

Near the top, you notice a large man, quite tall, who seems to be wrapped in metal. He has been thrown by some force, and landed atop a spire of rock, peircing his armor through to the other side and impaling him. By the time you reach the Pale Man, he is already dead, and his armor cannot be salvaged.

You note a helmet nearby, oddly frilled with some sort of hair. His armor is scaled with the same dark, silvery metal you carry with your weapon, unworkable as far as you know. You order your men to collect the shattered armor for study, and they dutifully collect it onto their packs.

Just then, a odd, inhuman noise echoes from above the lip of the volcano. Lightning flashes, and against the backlight of the thunder you catch a glimpse of a strage, huge creature, four legged and long necked. It is frilled with long hair, and it's eyes flash as the storn rages.

It jumps away.
