Arkun-Sha! Bringing down the chieftan was so badass I almost forgot it was scripted.

Alca-un. She's the most badass, of course!

5 (26.3%)

Ulla-Sha. Going on a century didn't stop her from whooping ass.

7 (36.8%)

Amma-ah, she's so caring and kind, how could you not like her?

I step out for a few hours, and just look at what you guys did to our charmingly handsome alien platypus. He's a goblin now. You just had to pick the boring tool option.

I believe by now that whatever we were to choose, that would have not changed the fact that we are now a greenskin.

Nice John Carter you pulled there anyway, mister Karnewarrior.


Our new mistress is Ulla, the shaman.

Because we are too LARGE and AMBITIOUS to be a mere messenger, warrior or healer.
Being a huge, muscular goblin shaman with the backup of the Spirits could lead us very, very high.

[Karnewarrior]

I've never seen John Carter (or read it if it was originally a book). I have no idea what I did! D:

[kaian-a-coel]

In the film (I never read the books), the hero stumble upon an underground hatchery of four-armed green-skinned "barbarians". Granted, the grubs are not zerg-like and don't kill each other, but the image is quite close.

[Karnewarrior]

I came up with the idea because I thought it would be interesting to see a society of almost-human creatures whos life-cycle demands their babies devour each other for sustainance.

Coincidentally, try not to cannibalize any full grown goblins. It's... somewhat frowned upon.

[Lillipad]

I vote for Kesa-Mon. Let's brood this apprenticeship up.

[Xantalos]

Nibun all the way. That way when humans show up we can kill them.

[micelus]

Ulla

[Origami_Psycho]

Ulla, the Shaman.

[Mr. Doc]

+1 for Ulla the Shaman

[kaian-a-coel]

Ulla: 4
Kesa mon: 1
Nibun: 1

At this point, it seems fairly certain that Ulla won (unless some unlikely coordinated vote happen). So let's meet those spirits!

[GreatWyrmGold]

Bolun!

[Karnewarrior]

There's a great wooden stage in the center of the tribe. A week has passed, long enough for you to learn a few words in the language. Your mind proves agile, if not quick, and you know more through intuition than book learning.

Still though much of the talk of the adults eludes you. they speak quickly and without obvious breaks in between words, making it hard for you to pick up new ones. Your limited vocabulary is little impediment right now, however. You stand on stage with your wrists bound, the chiefs hand on your shoulder, and the free Patrons of the community heft stone daggers with bone hilts. They're ornate, gilded with worked gold and edged with such as well, as it's far sharper than any stone around here.

"Daske-nag Dola [Apprentice]? [His eyes] seak nacha-bol [with youth] set [integrity]. [A quick mind] sepi-tal [stature as] onam-set [greatest netcap tree(s)] bona bona."

The broodmother speaks: "Nek." A denial.

The Volir Champion speaks: "Nek."

The Messenger speaks: "Nek."

The Medicine woman speaks: "Nek. [Sorry!]"

The shaman speaks: "Hiya."

There are whispers in the crowd. Ulla hasn't chosen an apprentice in almost thrity years, since she laid her last clutch! Yet now, she chooses you?

Ulla steps forward and cuts a small slit in your cheek. She slides to the right and does the same on the other cheek, before using the bloodstained blade to cut free your bonds. You are an apprentice!

Ulla leans down until you can smell her fetid breath, like the worst kind of fruit. She uses simple language to say "I need Saksa-tolun root. Now, Boy."

And suddenly, you're on your way.

...

But you don't know which plant is the Saksa-tolun! Your Mistress is still standing on the stage, speaking with the chief. What do you do?

[Origami_Psycho]

Since you have great intuition, why not look for something that might be this root?

[Xantalos]

Go ask someone else who might know.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Go ask someone else who might know.

Make sure they don't look important. And get out of the elders' sight first.
