Turn 1:

Site:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You have arrived at the site of your new settlement, Alucard. It's goblin backwards don't you know. The site is in a mountain pass at the end of a small road that splits off from the main road through the mountains. The road through the mountains is a minor trade route and sees some use. You have marked the site as your own with a banner of your colours with a hammer in the centre (due to your smithing abilities).

You are Yoick Burnsword and you are the almighty Lordsmith. With the powers of both smithing and lording on your side it is no wonder you were chosen by the group to be the leader. As a smith you made sure to bring an anvil and bellows along.

Speaking of your group, it is made up of Both Goblins and Humans who have united under the banner of Fellhawk, the lord of death. Fellhawkhas charged you with creating a settlement to house his followers. Fellhawk wishes his followers to join together instead of living in the cities of other lesser gods, or worse, men. As your settlement grows more followers will join you, be them goblin, men or that of another race.

Your current group has a few notable people. Monty the human is the self appointed high priest of Fellhawk. Gargle is the Goblin shaman responsible for managing the goblin birthing pits, once they are created that is. The rest of the group have no skills.

 You can name people on the condition they've done something important. 30 names to remember is not fun for me.

I did some compromises here and there but it's mostly the Goblin suggestion.

General political knowledge:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The South:
The lands to the south of Alucard are rife with conflict. Each city-state struggles against each other in some way, politically, economically or militarily. Most cities are also fractured, scheming nobles seeking to undermine each other’s power and gain more influence for themselves. The powers of the gods are weak in this area as the only loyalty that is tolerated by city officials is loyalty to them, cults that gain power are often attacked with the goal of killing every member and leaving no trace that the cult existed to diminish the god’s power. The followers of Fellhawk originated from this region and escaped persecution for the most part by maintaining small numbers spread out over the entire area. Each city believed the cult to not be worth the effort.

The North:
The lands to the north of Alucard are more peaceful and although they are not united under any government a cultural bond links the region. Wars have been fought in the past between the larger towns and cities but these conflicts have mostly been about things such as honour and justice, with wealth gained only being a welcome side effect.

The populations in the villages and towns are mostly human but tribes of mungos also exist in the forests. Depending on who is leading each Mungo tribe at any time relations can vary from friendly trade to open war. The unreliability of Mungos and the rarity of other non-humans has lead to a high level of distrust towards the non-human races in more isolated settlements.

History of the Followers of Fellhawk:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sixteen years ago during the last major war in the south the unaligned town by the name of Gran was completely raised and its citizens slaughtered by troops flying no banner. The few survivors say a spectral hawk wreathed in green flames flying overhead and guiding the spirits of their loved ones away. The survivors spread out throughout the southern cities searching for new lives and in doing so spread the tale. For the next few years small cults were formed all devoted to worship of the hawk. Every cult was founded on different ideals and with different goals. Some wished to show their thanks for guiding the spirits of the innocent, the more violent wished to hunt down and kill every soldier involved in the slaughter.

Eventually the cults united under the name of ‘The Followers of Fellhawk’ (but still remained dispersed throughout major cities) and the goal of the cult became blurred. Monty was appointed the high priest and leader of the followers by virtue of him being one of survivors of Gran. Soon after the unification of the cults Fellhawk gained a voice and while mostly quiet the god occasionally asked things of his followers. As the cult was gaining strength about two years ago the main branch located in the eastern city of Boument was massacred during a weekly prayer session.  It is unclear who the attackers were but the two suspects are the Cult of the life god Prae and the city guard. The cult devoted to Prae were killed by the city guard only two days later, it is unclear if any survived.
After the massacre Fellhawk contacted High priest Monty and told him that it was no longer safe for The Followers to remain separated and had him organise for the entire cult to meet up at the location that would soon be known as Alucard.

General knowledge about the gods:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The gods have wandered the world for as long as it has existed. Their power fuelled by the worship of mortals, sacrifices of goods or flesh and on rare occasions by harnessing magical phenomena. The goals of gods vary but gaining power is always one of them. This leads them into conflict with other gods whose beliefs contradict them. Most common is when gods of opposite beliefs begin crusades against each other. Less common but just as devastating are gods of the same belief attempting to undermine each other to steal each other’s followers and power. No mortal is entirely sure where gods come from but it is clear that new gods appear and old gods can be forgotten, or even killed…

Gods interact with their followers though direct communication at times, or cryptic signs at others. Granting boons and creating artifacts for their followers to wield is commonplace and almost all magic is derived from the power of a god. Only the most powerful gods can afford to create a permanent living avatar, a being which embodies their powers at its most raw. These avatars are powerful beings and allow gods much more control over the physical plane but if defeated cause the god to be destroyed.

Nearby Critters:

	Hat: Small fluffy hexapod. Has been observed being hunted and eaten by the Ridgeback. Appears to live in burrows containing large groups and feeds on grass. Despite their superior speed they can easily be outsmarted. Apparently worn by humans as a display of authority.
	Deerple: A medium sized quadraped covered in short fur. No observed predators beyond your settlement. Seen traveling in small herds which are quick to abandon other members of the herd when danger is present. Has tasty meat.
	Bristleback Browt: A quadruped which is slightly larger then the Deerple but has short stocky legs. Named for the bristly fur on it's back.
	Brown Tusked Drake: A medium quadruped possessing tusks. Ridgebacks appear to dislike them. Commonly known as tuskers.
	Green Ridgeback: A largish quadraped with large ridges on it's back. It feeds on the local white hexapods and is protective of it's kills. It has shown no interest in eating villagers while food is available and will accept food offerings with some suspicion. A few individuals have been seen and have been observed sleeping in pairs. Sometimes referred to as a Green Ridge-backed Drake.
	Stoneface: Is used as a pack animal by Rapn Traders.

Ores:

Hexium Ore: Can be smelted into either Grey-metal or Honey-metal Smelting for 3 turns at high heat -> Grey-metal Smelting for 7 turns at low heat -> Honey-metal

Metals:

	Grey-metal: Grey-metal is the standard metal used in most tool and weapon construction and is generally the metal most others are compared to. It can be smelted from numerous ores such as Hexium. Grey-metal is ill suited to the creation of alloys.
	Honey-metal: Honey-metal is a mid value metal and is the product of Hexium ore. The metal is inappropriate for tools and weapons due to it being brittle as a side effect of it's colouring. It is typically used to create trade goods or as decoration on weapons made from sturdier materials.

Nearby Towns:

	Narg is a small human village on the northern side of the pass. It's population consists of trappers, hunters and some farmers. The village has a resident browt tamer.
	Impae is a town to the south east of Blackwood.
	Gnay is known as the white city because of the stone many of it's buildings and walls are made out of. Some of the villagers have migrated from here.
	Gregona's economy is built around the nearby mines. You were one of the town's many lord-smiths before you fled with the death cult for fear of being assassinated by rival smiths saw the light and helped Monty lead your fellow followers to your new home.
	Bluesmith is where you learned smithing as a young spawnling. It has remained neutral in almost all wars in the area. Neutrality in this case meaning supplying weapons to all sides.
Greenshallow	Greenshallow is a coastal town. All that you know about it is that they grow springnuts there.

equip 1 human and 1 goblin with spear. send human scouting east, send goblin scouting south

They should try to find the actual mountain pass. Tolls are fun.

Yes. Sounds good.

Have a goblin (the shaman if he accept) dig the pit with the shovel. Under that lone tree near the cliff a bit north of us.
Set two humans on woodcutting duty. Axe and saw. Do not cut the tree directly west of our tool, directly north of us and north of the goblins.
The camp will be put between the three said trees and the cliff. The trees might be used as "towers" for a future palissade drawing between them, and with a little work we may put watchers in there. Bam, watchtowers with little to no effort.
Someone begin digging inside the darkest cliff part.
