The fear of food running out weighed heavily on the kobolds as they began their first summer in Ebentijenta. Though the stocks were high for the moment almost all of their meat was from the jack rats they had been slaughtering to get bone weapons. Thus the task was begun to hunt (and possibly recover the corpse of) the giant badger who had fallen down into the lake far below. The camp set to work building a grand stairway downward from which to throw bolas at the horrible beast. Before it was finished though, there was a cry of good news. Migrants had arrived.

Obaba was born under the sign of the turtle. Kobolds born under the turtle are tough and tend to favor shell and bone crafting. When they must fight, they favor a shield. Like all water kobolds, they are natural swimmers.
She has killed one giant blight bat in Temptedbound.
The camp had expanded to 12 kobolds, seven of which were actively part of the military. DeepBlue immediately put BrokenMind in charge of the ranged kobolds who came to call themselves the Wanderers of Heaven. With this newly created squad the decision was made. It was time to hunt some badger.
The construction continued down, down, down to the water far below. Eventually they were there and the combat began. Kalras and Ralnya arrived first, the shaman stabbing the giant badger while Ralnya completely ignored his newly given equipment and simply began punching it upside the head.
"Ralnya!" shouted Kalras as she stabbed the giant badger in the leg. "Get blowgun!" But Ralnya simply let out a laugh and punched the badger in the head hard enough to stun it. Kalras and Ralnya danced about it on the edge about the river, stabbing and punching until Splinter arrived as well.
The badger attempted to flee up the stairs, but it was caught off from above by Splinter and DeepBlue standing shoulder to shoulder. From below Ralnya, Kalras, and Brokenmind pushed it forward. As with all kobold battles, it did not end quickly.
In the end, Kalras held aloft her spear, snarling out, "This over." She stabbed down, piercing through the skull and bringing the badger to a slow, gurgling halt. Through luck, military prowess, or the will of the gods, no kobolds were harmed.
The meat stocks were now slightly more comfortable, but another problem had been found. Drinks. Luckily, there was now an expert in matters of plants who could rectify this problem. GatorFace got to work building a distillery and getting plants. Zata helped out with the process, though her experience was much more towards cooking than brewing.
A shriek of fear came from north of the camp across the bridge. Mephistophelia had been at the north wall gathering clay when she found something. One of the twisted cousins of kobolds had come to the camp, doubtlessly to steal from the hardworking kobolds within. The call to arm came and the hunt was on.
As the kobolds charged into the night, they found a second thief! All of the troops would be needed to ensure this threat did not continue.
Unfortunately, Brokenmind, as is her custom, was much more interested in firing potshots at nearby giant flies. Then something caught her eyes in the shadows. Another thief stood nearby with teeth bared. She flung a bola and it slapped around the scum's buttock. "Fire their butts!" she cried out above the shrieks of terror from kobolds on both sides. Tin glanced over with confusion on his face, but then lowered his gaze and fired true at a different kobold thief's backside.
These happened literally 5 seconds apart from each other and were the only strikes thus far in the fight. BrokenMind's mind is broken.
Squacking and yelping while clutching it's backside, the thief ran pursued by Kalras and Splinter. They chased it about the mountain with pointy sticks ready letting out cries of rage. Somehow it slipped away to snarls and cries of irritation from the chasing hunters. Next time, Sadin thief of the kobolds. Next time.
So concludes summer! Things are going pretty remarkably well. I'm falling behind a bit in terms of some production I like to get done, but that's to be expected with such a large military population. Honestly though, I think the military population should help. Having this many active military kobolds made even fighting the giant badger (who I expected some trouble from) really, really easy. Also, extra props to Kalras for killing the very first animal!
Along with this update comes the new kobolds available on the front page, the creation of the Achievements and Honors (third post) segment, and an update to the gods. It appears the migrants brought some more religion!
