GridLand Survival 4: Year 1, Turn 3(The Warm Season)
#Hint 1# Some ways of finding food are easier during certain seasons.
#Hint 2# Research is a free action for you. An action that you cannot afford to neglect.
In F5:
One of the people stays on top of the tree. The adult female eats the fish generously given to it by Amy. Then she sniffs the ground and starts to circle the tree trunk. She repeatedly circles the tree trunk.
In F6:
You see the younger adult male begin to gather roots. He uses the same method as the previous person did.
Nirur(Nirur Torir):
You pay attention to stars lesson in root digging. Then you eat a root you get from star and a raw fish.
Then you begin to forage. You collect 2 soft yellow roots from the yellow spotted leaf bushes.
you put the leaves in the pile.
You collaborate on farming research.
Kit(KitRougard):
You attempt to communicate with the old male. He does not seem to understand until you mime eating the fruit.
You see that the adult male takes the fruit and bites into it after taking off some of the peel. Then he makes a puckered face. He eats it but does not finish it. He grabs a root he had hidden under a nearby bush and then squeezes the juice of the fruit onto the soft yellow colored root. Then he eats it. You can see no adverse reactions to it other than the puckered face when he initially bit into it. Despite this he occasionally makes a hoot while eating causing bits of his spit to fly towards anyone standing nearby.
You have drool on your hands.
You begin research on "How to Determine Plant Safety".
Sigil(Blood_Librarian):
You eat a Yellow-Green fruit. You find it to be extremely sour. But, you manage to eat it. It does not seem to make you sick, Though you did not enjoy eating it.
You forge in F6. You gather 3 bunches of small yellow flowers and 2 Yellow-Green fruit.
Fiman(TankKit):
You eat 3 fish. Then you sniff a yellow-green peeled fruit. It smells similar to the blue-peeled fruit. Before handing it to Kit.
You observe that him attempt to communicate. His gestures get the message across.
You see that the adult male takes the fruit and bites into it after taking off some of the peel. He eats it but does not finish it. He grabs a root he had hidden under a nearby bush and then squeezes the juice of the fruit onto the soft yellow colored root. Then he eats it. You can see no adverse reactions to it other than the puckered face when he initialy bit into it. Dispite this he occasionally makes a hoot while eating. causing bits of his spit to fly towards anyone standing nearby.
You forage focusing on the plants you remember seeing the adult female gathering from. You disregard the flowers of the plant.
You noticed some of the leaves of the same type of bush have yellow speckles while some do not.
You put the speckled and unspeckled leaves in separate piles. you collect the roots from some of the plants. You collect 2 soft yellow roots form the speckled bushes.
You collect 3 slightly darker yellow roots from the unspeckled bushes.
You continue research on Foraging Tools, and complete the tech!
Star(TricMagic):
You eat you eat 5 soft yellow roots.
You teach Nirur, Jaynie, and Sassalik how to gather the soft yellow roots.
During your demonstration you collect 2 decently sized roots.
You put the leaves in the pile.
You keep an eye on them.
You continue research on Mana Sensing.
Jaynie Morgan(0cra_tr0per):
You eat 2 fish.
First you observe Star give the demonstartion on gathering roots. Then accept(by defualt) her offer of 1 root
Then you begin to test the plants. You begin by rubbing different things against your skin in different spots.
You take some leaves from the pile of green leaves with yellow spots which the soft yellow roots come from.
You rub them against a spot. There is no immediate itching so you start on the next part to give time for it to cause a reaction if it is going to.
Next you rub leaves from the same plant that do not have the spots. No immediate reaction.
Next, you rub the small green leaves from the bush with the red berries. They cause a very mild itching in the spot that starts shortly afterwards. it does not persist for a long time though.
Next, you rub the small yellow flowers on another spot. There are no immediate reactions.
Then, you rub the red berries on a different spot. There is no immediate reaction.
You wait a bit then check for mid-term reactions. You find none. The itching from the small green leaves is already gone.
Then you smell them. The green leaves with yellow spots smell like they are decomposing. The leaves from the same plant without the spots has no smell. The small green leaves from the red berry plants have a moderate musty smell.
The small yellow flowers smell sweet and floral. You like the smell of them. You smell the red berries. They have no noticable smell.
You check for reactions to the smells and the spots where you rub the test plants. You see no evidence of irriation. You do not feel different.
You pause here. You are unfamiliar with any way of eating food besides raw. (Do you wish to continue next turn with taste testing unprepared plants? It will not take up your action next turn if you do.)
You continue research on Farming.
Amy(Aigre Excalibur):
You eat a fish.
Then you attempt to watch the adults fish. Unfortunately the adults are not fishing right now. So you try to see if you can get one of the adults to tell you how to fish. Unfortunately they are unable to understand your gesturing. You tried using your hands to make a fish shape and pointing at the ocean.
Then you resorted to pointing at the fish. When you did the Old Adult female picked it up and ate it.
No Research.
Sassalik(Detoxicated):
You listen to stars demonstration on root gathering. Then accept(by default) her offer of 1 root.
Then you move to F5. You eat 2 fish. Then you begin making the nest roomier.
You research poetry

Burrow/Stick Nest construction: You can make a nest out of small sticks which is slightly better at insulating in non-wet conditions. A good location makes a warmer nest. Can dig it out to make it better at insulating you.
Burrowing: You can dig out small burrows with enough labor investment. Improved by tools. Rooms have the be small enoungh for the walls to support all of the weight without extra support.
Foraging Tools: You may create a Foraging Tool at the cost of 1 labor and 1 solid material. Foraging tools take up 1 equipment slot and improve certain foraging actions when used. The material quality effects how likely it is to break.
