Turn 3
For a while, you have been living off of
mud its terrible. Yet it keeps you alive. Precious mud!
There are different types of plants around the area but never had the time to look at anything. Too busy being idle and experimenting.
Settling Down Your people have stayed here long enough. They want to stay here. They want to find a permanent place to settle as soon as possible. However, the group is undecided.
One group wants to settle near the sea, for its potential.
Another lazier group wants to settle between the desert and sea, not wanting to move from where their sitting.
A minority wants to settle near, if not, in the desert, feeling a strange attraction to it.
One worried group wants to settle somewhere with even more potential than where you are now. Willing wait now and later risk the desert walk.
You must decide now.
CombinationsRocks+PeopleYou give some rocks carefully to some willing participants. Like you, they experiment with the rocks. After a couple moments, one older woman discovers she can bang the rocks together to make a sound. Pretty soon everyone is smashing their rocks together, making noise. By chance, two young girls happened to bang their rocks in unison. It sounds amazing. Pretty soon, everyone is smashing their rocks in unison. This
music brings joy to many people. It will be first of many rock concerts you with have in your tribe.
People+FishingYou send some people to go fishing. It becomes quite the sport. By noon, the people fishing have grown weary and have stopped. There's not that much fish but you have enough to name a champion
fishermen. Now what are you going to do with all this fish?
Back on the shore, while counting the fish, Crazy Jose takes a bite out of the fish. Everyone thinks he's crazy but when they see that meat and blood, natural instincts kick in and soon a feeding frenzy begins. Finally, a source of food besides mud.
Rocks+FlotationYou try to cause the rocks to have flotation but you realize that you have no idea what flotation is! Maybe someone with more expertise in the subject might be able to solve your dilemma.
Death+PropertyUnwilling to cause the death of another again, instead you take the dead father out to some land. Unable to claim the land for itself, you claim the land for the corpse. The land gains a sense of purpose within your people, as if the corpse had actually claimed the land. Even the greediest tribesmen dare not to disturb that land. The land is now known as the
graveyard.
But with the rotting corpse left to exposure, several large
birds from the desert catch wind of the rotting corpse. They swoop down and devour the corpse. The bones were picked clean and scattered randomly around. The remaining birds peck at his skull and spine for the flesh encased in the bone. Though the body was lost, you feel like he would have been better somewhere else, instead of rotting here. As the birds carry his body back to the desert, the tribe feels a collective relief and honor towards the deceased because of the
sky burial.
The remaining bones are returned to the orphan Kai, he feels a deep gratitude towards the sky burial.
Ocean+PlainYou have no idea what to do. You can't manipulate the earth yet enough to move the plains and sea together. You try to find a common element about the two but are still confused.
Rocks+PainRocks hurt a lot, as you find out. There has already been one beating within the group, though you try it anyway. Turns out rocks are faster at causing pain than fists, who knew? You stop before you traumatize another child.
You try the other way around, trying to ease pain with the rocks. It wasn’t very effective. You continue standing there holding a rock to a bruise on a child, nothing else happens. You decide this was a waste of time.
Rocks+RocksYou smash some rocks together, all kinds of rocks. They don't really do anything. Finally, after smashing two shiny black rocks together, a bright light appears! Amazed, you show your people your newfound magic trick. They are all impressed by the
sparks. You call your new magician's tools:
flint.
People+PeopleYou hurry two random people together and observe their actions. At first, it gets really quiet, then they stare into each other’s eyes. Then they begin to cuddle. Then they begin to kiss. Then they kiss some more. Then they fall back into the grassy patch of land. Then they…. You regret not putting up barriers around them. In fact, you should have moved them away from the camps view.
Word gets out and this activity becomes the new favorite past time. Its dubbed
sex.
ActionsScoutYou send some scouts off in some general direction towards the desert, it will be a while until they return with what they found.
