(Goddamn i forgot to reply to this.Whew.My damn power source was failing for a while. )
Sat in the village hall staring at the various people.Action: The man smirked and started his task as village chief by renaming the village to The Great Fiery Stones.The young person was nervous ,for he did not expect to become the chief so soon.He stood ,with a humble expression on his face.Action: He finally spoke up to one of the people:'Gather the more influential people ....please,also...let it be known.Gather our best men and send them out to hunt.We require food.Meanwhile me and the others will hopefully build housing for us.Keep the slaves but treat them better,as to not have them turn on us.Also send word out....whoever has spare building materials and enough wealth to help us build up even better shall be rewarded.

The Great Fiery Stone
Leader: Xeron
Laws/Society: Patriarchal Society, Harsh Punishments, Slavery, Elected Leader, No Theft, No Violence, No Murder
Factions: Wise, Gatherers, Hunters, Warriors, Criminals, Craftsmen
Tech: Basic Farming
Problems: Slight Civil Disturbances from Warriors vs. Criminals



Deny
Warriors 25%; Wise -5%

Your troops continue to go into the forest. With fear, and separating from the other group, your men go through the woods, some of them shiver with fear, the shadows seemed to move on their own. A long thin man came out of the woods. He held something you are unaware of. Dressed in strange clothing as well. Before you could issue anything, he raises the stick made of metal into the air, and a large explosive sound is heard. By that time, your men were running from the woods as the man screamed at you in a different language. It wasn't long before you headed back into town, leaving the man back in the woods. You then hear from a member of Donuts scout party that the village across the river seemed to be giving off a lot of smoke and it may be a fire. Your men continue to talk though, some speak of the man as if he were a god. Not understanding his tools. Try and leave offerings at the forest to try and appease the God? (Random Effect) Will you ignore him? (Random Effect) Or will you reorganize your men to try and assault this man some of your men call god? (Assault on the woods)



Donuts
Warriors 25%

You and your scouting group goes off to see what happened at the village. There were dead lying everywhere, and the homes were on fire. You scan the area only to see dead and fire. It seems someone set fire to their village, and the arrows hanging out of the villagers' bodies showed an assault. You see no sign of the attackers themselves. Until one person crawls towards you. A child. One of her legs were badly broken and she was crying. Aide the child (Bring her back with you, gain loyal follower -someone who will only follow you-), Ignore her (You don't know who she is, what language she speaks, and you have no idea what her motives will be in the future)



Ranger
Hunters 25%; -5% Wise; 5% Warriors

With the aide back to the hunters, and a bit of overtime, you manage to avoid a crisis of a food shortage for long and thankfully there was no long term effects. With items put in front of people, you try and encourage some bone workers and some tanning and leather working. This is a long process. However you are fruitful with one thing. A child out of all the people, has turned a bone into a basic flute, and drums with a bit of leather. Your group has managed to find instruments to play (Village-wide war parties +5% to all actions). You go around the village looking for a viable husband, and you find instantly, one man interested in you, Deny, another influential leader. Other than him, there were two other men, another hunter and a small man, weak and brittle looking. Though his heart was seemingly made of gold.



Ultimuh
Craftsmen 35%

With some new followers thanking you for the homes, you work quickly, at least to provide temporary housing for all. Some have to be squeezed in, but no one has to sleep in skin tents that break anymore. People have solid wooden housing now. Now two men come up to you for a project they want to do. One tells you of the mountain, and he believes he can make fencing around the path so it isnt as dangerous(Mountain danger -50%), the other believes he has a working idea for a boat! This could possible help trade and transportation along the river (Wise +5%, Trade routes open)



pisskop
Criminals 20%, Warriors 5%

Your men are taught to lay low a bit, and this helps ease tension, but the warriors already know who the criminals are, the village isnt big enough for them to simply vanish. With scouts looking into the area, the only real hideout patrols dont go at all, is under the current bridge. It is shallow enough at the edge that it could be used to store things if you hide it well enough. The mountain itself is a great hideout currently as no one in their right mind would even live there due to the danger. However your criminal followers are getting aggravated. They want to plunder. One suggests they go to a neighboring village, and try and raid it. (Attempt a raid) while youve gained a few warriors respect, they ask a favor of you, they wish to start a training camp (Warriors +5%, Criminals -5%)



Kamin
Gatherers 25%; Wise -5%

You get some of your followers to try and find some seeds in their spare time. You give them some things to work for and you yourself try and find some seeds. Most are useless, inedible plants, but one woman brings to you a strawberry. You can now plant summer crops! (Strawberries gain) You begin planting now as you do not wish for them to be out of season, and in due time, it shows to work. It only helps a little, you still have to go elsewhere, but people can feed themselves a little. However the crops begin to get eaten at. However not to the point that it hurts anyone. Some of your gatherers come to talk to you. One tells you of a design for a fishing pole (Fishing gain) while another says she thinks she saw many more seeds across the river.



Xeron
25% Wise; +5% all

Naming your town, you set its goals. The food shortage seemed to have solved itself, before yo could even give the orders, and some farming made it easier on the people. While you say to treat slaves better, the people choose to ignore this will as that might give them the idea for freedom. You also gain word about the village over was assaulted and that a man in the woods had fired some magical metallic device and they are calling him a god. While you say to gather the influential, none could be found other than those in the village. The wise that follow you, attempt to guide your actions. They ask that you start construction of a wall (All Craftsmen get goal to make wall). You could make another action that you feel is suitable however. Along with this however, there is a problem in town. It seems this God-Man is coming towards the village. Some men are preparing to decide to attack or not. Will you label this man?

((Ill not post an action just yet, but if Xeron did a census organized similar to numbers in the old testament (10s) as well as at least a loose slave count would this be okay?  bah, how many estimated live here?))

"Safety is important, so trade will have to wait."
Help making the mountain path travelable without danger.
However if there is time enough afterwards, at least begin preperations for building a boat.

Action

Spend time to organize a wedding ceremony with Deny and a feast after it (Hunters should try to get something tasty)  Create totally new ceremony, with new oaths, new clothing, new rituals. All based around equality between man and woman.  If this mean alienating wise - fine. If this mean that not everyone will recognize marriage as legal - fine. She is a rebellious girl. If Deny changes his mind, marry the hunter instead. If hunter changes his mind, too - marry the small man
Also try organize more marriages with same ceremony and wedding oaths among supporters

Also, send a proposal to the Xeron, to introduce two laws
1) Forbid raping slaves or forcing them to marry
2) Female slave can become free without compensation if she marries free man

Hardcore.  This society is patriarichal.  Meaning men run it. period.  I assume men own all the property, own most of the high positions, etc.  I doth protest the first one, on the grounds that it is historically unrealistic and a free(wo)man would shame themself by publically marrying a slave.  number 2 is fine by me (although I refer you back to the last sentence).  Yay politcal dissent.

  Raid.  All the way.  Justify it however.  My Pleb-gaurds found evidence of who attacked that village, we must strike before we are striken, prison law(beat up one person and the rest leave you be), or even capture slaves to pay tithe to the metal-stick-god.  whogas.  Do it.  Redouble bandit training, and try to prevent perversion on a 'Rape of Nanking' scale.  Atrocities exceeding the stereotypical plundering of village will be punished with a beating and forfiture of booty.


Offer any men who submit amnesty from slavery if they join my Plebs.  Women may join as freeemen if they kill their husbands/adopt  a Pleb husband.  All must swear blood oath, [edit]swearing loyalty to me first and foremost.[/edit]
Learn all I can from the raid.  Study any text, new tools, etc found.  Devote all my personal time to this, and then decide what to share.

[edit] Stash half my booty under said bridge [/edit]

Have the woman make fishing poles and show half of the gatherers how to fish; I will take a quarter of them across the river to find seeds, and leave a quarter to mind to the crops (and perhaps develop a way of keeping them from being eaten).
