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

6 (31.6%)

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

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 was referring to the last bit on damage/health


Edit: Early on, military CAN be worse than a barefist hunter

Oh.  Yeah.  Makes sense, and hunters were pretty much barefist in the far past.

Methodically, she would have to excel at killing her enemy before it killed her

She could also use the stupid melee spears, and dirt as a weapon if need be

Setting up the poll now.

Yeah, if these guys are the same as pre-agricultural humans, then they probably use spears.
As fo- EAT DIRT
Wait, where was I?
Oh yeah.  I don't know how dirt would work for hunting.

A wild boar with enormous tusks charges at you
weapons :Bonn
A blinded boar wont fight as well,and is less likely to gore you violently, and can be more easily dodged

If it's charging at you, you're gonna want to just run diagonal.  Dirt isn't really all that good at blinding, and you're not really going to engage the boar in fisticuffs.  You run around, keep him at arms length.  I mean, it won't hurt you to try, but dirt isn't going to have that much of an impact.  A better tactic is to have two or three of you in a group, have one distract them, and have the rest stab from different sides.  I mean, it's a boarfight, not a barfight. 
Also, he's typically rooting around in the dirt.  A bit in the face won't bother him.  Think of boars like quadraped (is that spelled right?  My computer keeps telling me it's "quad-raped") Dwarves.  Wait, why are we talking about boars?  I guess against a bear, it would be more viable.

Quadruped. Just for future use.

I like how you took my completely random scenario for reference, and turned it into a war about facts and tactis:p

[Thecard]

Thanks.  For some reason, my computer liked the alternative phrase better...

I... have a habit of doing this.  At lunch, I steered a conversation with a friend from "That painting looks kinda wrong" to "Everything is Dicks."

But that's enough derailment, from me.  Mainly because I really, really need to get some sleep.

Poll completed! Arkun-Sha it is!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a misty day, otherwise reminiscent of your Hatching. But this time, you are not bound. This time you stand tall, above the other goblins of your tribe. You have reached your full adult height, over a meter tall. Your chest juts proudly from your form, and your muscles are well toned. You are a prime physical specimen, due to your hatching circumstances. You are large, and powerful, and a good leader.

But above these things you are witty. You are cunning. You are a Shaman! Under the tutelage of Ulla-sha, your mind has grown quick and nimble where it was not before. Under the wing of Ulla-sha, you developed a sharp tongue, and you know how to dish out and recieve verbal abuse when needed. You also developed something of a temper, but under Ulla's watchful eye you can restrain it. You've learned the lore of the tribes, all of the tribes of the Confederation, and taken their morals to heart. You are a good goblin, a good man!

STATCORE GAINED: Ageless Wisdom
STATCORE GAINED: Witty
STATCORE GAINED: Abrasive Personality

With your huge stature, strong mind, and sharp tongue, none could possibly stand against you! Your first set of eyelids slide over your eyes, obscuring your vision but protecting you from the harsh smoke and inscense. Your arms raise high, to the chanting of the crowd! Ulla herself kneels before you, and offers you a Shamans staff.

"There is nothing more I can teach you." She says solemnly. "Go forth,

ARKUN-SHA, NO LONGER HATCHLING!"

As you turn to the south, the mist deepens. You spy a plume of smoke in the distance. You turn slightly, to see if Ulla sees it too. She does.

Arkun, You are an adult now. The world is yours to take. Down what roads will fate lead you?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

His skin isn't actually that black, I just didn't want to screw around with skintones. Your real skintone is far closer to a Native Americans hue.

Sorry.

[kaian-a-coel]

Awesome!

>Say something about being glad to be the receptacle of history. You are proud to have learned past and present history from Ulla-shamam, and eager to register future events, and later teach everything to another hatchling. Being a shaman is being a link in a chain that transcend time, and you couldn't have wished a better destiny.
>Enjoy post-ceremony festivities with Alca (she's the closest we have to a friend if I remember well)
>In the following day(s), ask Ulla-sha if she has any specific task for us, or something we should do. If she hasn't (and nobody else does), just follow Alca or try to make friends.
