"Teeth!"
End of Spring4 Turns Survived
11 Turns Until End of Winter
The Crafter stops coughing, and appears to just be sleeping while The Cook is drying the food. [2] [1] The Hunter, armed with some Late Spring advice from The Elder, tries to head off where the grazer heard from before should be moving to. However, they are not alone... [1]-1 (H) The Gatherer is not finding anything on their chosen route that hasn't been picked off by the animals, luckily The Adepts spots something. Back at camp, everyone is gathering but The Hunter has been gone too long...and then they are found a ways out, badly injured. The Elder looks over them, it's too much for them to help with, this will take time. The Hunter will need to stay home for awhile. They were badly trampled when 'something' spooked the heard...
Action PhaseThere is again no hunger or stash stat readout in this part of the turn. It's a bit tedious so I will change a bit how that is tracked: In the second part I will collect the information, but from that you'll keep track of your stuff. Items you give away and items you consume will involve you updating the list. There were no penalties for hunger applied to this update.
As always, please
bold choices.
Choose your action.
THE TRIBE
(All)
Each player represents one member of the tribe. When you joined you were randomly assigned a role in the tribe. You are the owner of your stuff and your actions, and can go against the group. The goal is simply to survive next Winter. Each game day you can perform skills or abilities related to your role, or trade food and tools with other tribe members, or discuss group strategies. Throughout the year you will face unexpected obstacles and challenges, and not all of them may be from beyond the firepit. As you overcome your trials, your skills will grow. You can perform one skill per turn. Do not PM each other/discuss this game outside of this thread. You have 48 hours to discuss what to do.
Shelter: The tribe has access to a cave and a firepit. Meat is cooked automatically when eaten.
Personal Stash: You own your stuff and no one can use it without your permission. Even if a majority wants to.
Communal Stash: You can place and take things from the common pile freely.
Hunger: You each have one / of hunger. When you get ////, you die. One food item removes one /.
Hunger Meter:
Full
/ Hungry
// Very Hungry: -1 to rolls
/// Starving: -2 to rolls
//// Dying: -2 to rolls, too weak to leave cave.
//// Deceased
Decay: Uncooked meat and undried fruit will go bad at the end of the turn, and the following turn will be entirely rotten and removed.
Tribal Kill: A majority of players can decide to kill another. To do this post their role in bold red. There must still be a majority at the end of the allotted time or it doesn't happen.
THE ELDER
MonkeyMarkMarioTHE TRIBE
(see below)
The Elder is frail. When hurt, minor injuries become major injuries, and major injuries are deadly. A limp prevents joining others in away activities.
Advise: You may choose one person each turn. The recipient will use the best of two rolls when using a skill. Elder can give bad advise with the opposite effect. (PM to do this)
Mend Minor Wounds: Passive. Heal everyone's minor wounds automatically. (PM to prevent someone from receiving this)
Ceremony: Free action. Perform ceremonies by wearing the mask and sacrificing food, which is left by a sacred rock formation nearby for animals to consume. The ceremony entails speaking respectfully and reverently to the ancestors, and making a prayer for the tribe.
THE COOK
Glass
Cook: Spend a turn to do one of the following:
-turn any number of fruit or meat into dried food. Dried food does not spoil.
-turn any combination of fruit or meat into 1/4th that many hot food. Hot food goes bad next turn. Hot food adds a bonus to any roll next turn. Free action.
-poison food, 1/3rd chance of death on consumption. (PM to do this)
-spoiled food will create poisoned food when cooked.
THE HUNTER

Small Game Hunt: Low meat but high chance of success. Can invite others to come when small game hunting. Each additional person reduced The Hunter's roll by 1. They each have a 1/2 chance of obtaining 1 meat.

THE GATHERER
A_Curious_Cat
1/5 tutor experience.

ADEPT
Maxinum McDreich
1/5 gathering experience. Being so young, when hurt minor injuries become major injuries and major injuries are deadly.
Observe: Can copy any other role except Elder. They must apprentice them 5 times while the tutor uses role related skills. The tutor receives a penalty of 1 to their rolls.[/b]
-When an Adept completes their training they gain the ability to permanently switch to this role at a time of their choosing. An Adept can learn multiple roles, but only becomes one.
-When an Adept completes their training the tutor gains the ability to permanently switch to an Elder at a time of their choosing.
-There can only be 1 of any role at one time.
-If the desired tutor is not willing to teach, the Adept can choose to observe, which still causes a penalty to the unwilling tutor's rolls, and may or may not earn experience.
CRAFTER
0cra_tr0per
Design/Revise/Repair: Research and craft tools for the various roles, which may grant them new or improved skills. Can repair said tools. Revising and adjust an existing design is hard. Conceiving a brand new design is very hard.
Current Technology:
-Walking Stick: Remove excess twigs from a branch to be used to aid elderly or injured with walking. Required a rock shard to craft.
-Rock Shard: Smash two rocks together to make rock shards. Sharp rock fragments for cutting and chopping.
-Woven Basket: Weave strips of bark to create a basket for fruit foraging. Requires a rock shard to craft.[/color]Frail, Tough, Reliable
Edit:
2: 0 minor injury
After further inspection, The Elder finds the injury is less severe than first assumed. While the pain was great, and there was a nasty gash, the actual damage is more superficial and The Hunter will be able to resume their next action normally thanks to The Elder's care.
