Spoiler: Journal of Matis the Explorer (on Schle Tuo: Month Three and Four) (click to show/hide)

Day 25 of the Sap Moon:
The primary reports from the hunters indicates that the plains are a suitable place to settle on, so I have decided to move one group of the peasants and two of the Gifted Ones there.

Day 31 of the Sap Moon:
Oh heavens! Something terrible happened. One of the Gifted Ones that was to research Grilled and Crispy went rogue. I'm not entierly sure what happened but the advisors that was taking a break from the maintinance claims that this certain Gifted One was from the group that arrived at the end of the last moon. I tried to get more more information on what happened from these advisors but only words of Fire Elementals and that the other group of peasants now was Grilled and Crispy.

Day 1 of the Sprouting Grass Moon:
The hard days continues as the Rogue Gifted One finally burned herself out. The peasants really are lost and we spent most of the day burying them outside our camp. I fear for the other two groups that settled down on the plains northwest to us since one of the Gifted Ones I sent with them was from Schle Whan too. I'm starting to feel paranoid but I don't think I trust the new Gifted Ones at all, well, less than I trust the Gifted Ones I had with me.

Day 3 of the Sprouting Grass Moon:
The days are getting worse. With the accident still fresh in mind and with an untimingly rain falling down a new group came to the camp. I was to hold a meeting with this new group but made sure that any Gifted Ones should announce his or her pressence at once. There was one in the group as I thought. While I still wasn't paranoid enough to detain him without reasons I did let the advisors with most experience on Gifted Ones to evaluate him mentally and physically. They said it wouldn't take many days for a precise report.
The new group consist mainly of scouts, but they say they also have some experience in other fields, such as hunting and archery. This is good news since they say they spotted several Fire Elementals on their way to us. At that moment I made a connection between their report and with what the advisors was spouting the other day. What I thought was a fire spell that killed the peasants was now more likely done by the Fire Elementals, summoned by mistake of the Rogue Gifted One. I decided to take care of the danger at once with the help of the scouts and with luck hopefully capturing them, now with the rain hopefully weakening them.

Send one group in C13 to tame the Fire Elementals.

Day 5 of the Sprouting Grass Moon:
The menance with the Fire Elementals are still going on and the rain is getting stronger. If this keeps up we will end up sick and weaker until we all... Let us not dwell too much on it. We will need a real shelter of some kind but I have no idea where to start. With luck the carpenters might figure something out.

Day 6 of the Sprouting Grass Moon:
The report on the new Gifted One is promising, mentally stable and physically healthy if just a bit out of shape. I'm still a bit reluctant to let him start researching with the others so I will keep an eye on him and just let the other Gifted Ones do their job.

Continue to research Grilled and Crispy with 2 mp, and store 5 mp in the Mana Storage.

Day 7 of the Sprouting Grass Moon:
I hope all is going well at the plains, I've yet to receive a report from them. Hopefully they are getting enough food from there without any problems.
On our side though the battle still continues between the scouts and Fire Elementals. While the rain do seem have a visible effect on the Fire Elementals the battle report also states that we are taking more casualties than they are. I hope to the heavens we will make this through.

2 groups from B12 gather food.

Day 8 of the Sprouting Grass Moon:
The carpenters have made a construction plan on a Simple House that would require some Lumber. While the Lumbermill can turn the Wood to Lumber we are not sure how much one group of workers can work with so we will just do what comes natural to us, we improvise.

One group in C13 works in the Lumbermill, turning as much Wood as possible to Lumber.

Day 12 of the Sprouting Grass Moon:
The rain stopped last night I think and the ground is starting to get really muddy. I don't think it would be smart to fish by the river right now since we can't predict a flash flood so we will have to gather from the vicinity instead. Hopefully the farmers will be getting something good.

One group in C13 gather food.

Day 16 of the Sprouting Grass Moon:
The Gifted Ones are finally done with researching Grilled and Crispy. With it we should be less reliant on gathering, hunting, fishing and farming, but I think I only will use it in emergencies only. Unfortunately I don't think they can start on a new research project right away so I will let them rest for now. The advisors won't be skipping on work though and with the Fire Elementals still raging around maintaining the Lumbermill is of great importance.    

One group in C13 maintain buildings.

Day 21 of the Sprouting Grass Moon:
The battle between the scouts and the two last Fire Elementals are soon to end. We have taken a heavy blow and with the lack of rain now these last two Fire Elementals have been igniting things left and right. The smell of burned flesh is also heavy and it churns my stomach. Hopefully we can turn the tide in our favor of I will have extinguish the flames.
Our carpenters have been working days and nights at the Lumbermill and I hope for good news. The food gathering isn't going as well as I hoped. The advisors really are a handful of crybabies. A broken nail here, sunstroke there and spooked growls everywhere they are going.
That reminds me. We haven't had a visit from our harassing neighbors this moon, probably because of the Fire. I might figure a way to use this knowledge to my aid in the future. Too bad I haven't seen the feline beast this moon either. I might take a group with me to tame it some day.

___
Good catch, wouldn't want another catastrophe to happen. That would suck very much.

psst, maintanace

[RandomNumberGenerator]

While fortune favors my children at home, the trials they face further out do not bend like to their will like the plants here do. If anything however, this has only strengthened their resolve to continue exploring and master the challenges they face. Perhaps we need to start looking for other ways to deal with the new and unexpected trials we come across. I should make sure that we are prepared for these challenges, and encourage them to continue, for even though the loss of my children hurts me greatly, the growth of their spirits that I see is a wonder in and of itself... I see now that this spirit is something I must foster and raise like my own children, for truly it is a part of them.

EDIT: Question what does the [II] and [III] mean after resources?

EDIT: Question what does the [II] and [III] mean after resources?

That's a quality count down, the higher the number the fresher the item is, and when it is gone the item goes with it. Using roman numerals. You'll mostly see it on food, but I did add it to Faden's salve as well. Food for example will last 3(4 turns really), unless it is preserved, processed, or otherwise stored via a building or container.

don't forget your own maintaince RNG, I missed it last turn, so it will be fairly harsh to make up on it if you don't maintain the groves this turn.

((Hmm, can I boost new golems the same way I can boost spells? If so, does it use mana or MP?
Also, what determines population increase?

Just some of my actions now, RP and MP use later:))

Golems:
00: Attempt to construct a StatFac-melter-auto-magma-01 from the ore.
01: make cloth.
02: if 04 fiails, try to clear demonic ritual, otherwise try to colect rock
03: construct Wd-4wign-rec-01 out of wood.
04cw: Destroy the demonic ritual!
05r: collect more ore!
06I: help the construction of StatFac-melter-auto-magma-01.

Designs:
Wd-4wign-rec-01: A small golem consisting simply of a spearlike body with four large wings, a basic flying golem, optemized for speed and exploration, and not really able to manipullate physical objects at all. Closest it could get to that is raming stuff, althou that migth be rather effective considering it's sharp nose and extremly elongated profile, it is not it's main purpose.
StatFac-melter-auto-magma-01: A a facility just on the edge of a magma source protruding over it. It contains/is made of stationary golems in that the machinery bolted to the floors and walls have the enchantment and move on their own, and are designed to take advantage of this. Its main component is a huge blast forge using the heat from the magma to melt ores dumping the slag out of the facility to be taken away, and pumping the molten metal out throught pipes to other parts of the facility. It can melt most metals and alloys, producing either bars or coarse cast shapes. As it is automated, it requires no doors, windows, walkways, or safety distances most forges do, making it very compact compared to it's output, in fact there aren't really much walls at all, just tightly packed machinery.

You can only boost your population if you have a spell that assists them. You can't directly pump mp or mana into the golems, no.

Population for you again... I make a normal population growth roll, then I check to see if you have the mana and materials(any materials on the hex) to make a golem body out of, or I suppose if you have a golem body made. You will grow at base rates of 0-3 per hex, assuming there is at least one unit on the hex.

Other than that, the only issue I see is that the cloth making golem will need to process the flax into threads before cloth can be made. But I can do that automatically.

[Armok]

Damn...
Well here's the MP use of my turn then:

I research living wall, and cast scouts twice, once at 2b and once at 3e. I boost each scout with two power. The rest of the MP go to mana.

Hmm, that log is really boring, says nothing new, and in generaly only made for powergaming the creativity points. Besides, it looks more or less like a post anywyas. Can my designs count as enougth flavor text or something?

[Haika]

Sorry Armok, I don't think I can give points for designs on what will basically be a building, and a tool/body type thing. All I need is a small paragraph in character for flavor each turn. Up to you if you want the flavor points or not.

Anyway, looks like we are waiting on Ed and 100killer9 for the turn.

[Armok]

 
Flavour text a flavour text I'd say, what does it matter?
Sigh, I guess you're the GM... Hmm, what would an image cont for?

Image1: Flying golem:

[Haika]

I suppose an image counts for something, I can give some creativity points for that,  as long as it's not just some random image found out on the net.

[ed boy]

Magic points: 10 into researching egg brood, 1 into mana


I move 3 of the units from H16 to H15, taking all the food on H16 with them. When they get there, they all build farms. The one unit left behind maintains the farms.

Similarly, I leave 1 unit on G15 to maintain the farms, while the rest move north to G14 and build more farms.

One of the units on G13 moves to G12 and builds a farm there. Another moves to H13 and builds a farm there (they each take a unit of food with them). The unit left on G13 maintains the farms there.



We have scoured every inch of this land, and it is certain - we are the greatest living creatures. We have the entire world to ourselves, one isolated place of glory in the endless oceans. We shall capitalise on that: every place in this land shall be settled, every place shall give up its life to sustain ours.

[Armok]

I suppose an image counts for something, I can give some creativity points for that,  as long as it's not just some random image found out on the net.

...
No, it's not some random thing from the web. I model this in 3d, it's a lot of work so unless it's worth significantly more than text I wont bother.

No comt at all on my flyer design?

[Haika]

Looks good Ed,

I'd say the image would get around 3-4pts in creativity, It's interesting enough, but not crazily cool(like hippoism), I can't really give you tons of points for it as opposed to someone who writes a good amount of creative text. I'd have to try and keep it even in general.

I do like it however, hence the 3-4 range. I'm also glad you took the time to do something above and beyond just posting actions, that's what the points are supposed to be about.

[Armok]

Ah, so if I do something like that, but with action and awesomeness in it, I'll get good amounts of points? ok, I'll try that.
Hmm, how much does art quality matter? I can squeeze in much larger amounts of awesomeness-information if I sketch it in gimp with crappy perspective rather than doing photo realistic renderings.

[100killer9]

Research Spoiled Rotten, cast termite strain
Unit in K8, mine gold
Creeper worms in K8, build creep in K7
Larvae in L8 attempt to become war animals
One unit in L8 tend the farms
A second unit attempts to build a lumber mill
A third unit, look for reflective materials
a fourth unit, work on a food storage building
a fifth and sixth unit, look for more larvae.
The Draati were worried. Nothing bad usually happened to them, but now medusas were attacking. They needed to react. They couldn't directly attack them, but Larvae might be able to. The new larvae were trained to fight. They might not look at the medusa, and thus might not be turned to stone. The Draati also mined gold in the hopes of using its reflective property to turn the medusas' powers against them.
More creep was made near the river. The farms were farmed. More larvae were being looked for. Life was going on normally with the exception of the Medusa attack. But then, Arthyl experienced a particularly bad headache. He hit his head to try and knock out the pain, and instead knocked out something else. The headache dissapeared, and Arthyl remembered pieces of what was happening. He remembered that the headaches were not natural, were meant to cause amnesia, and were caused by something. This wasn't much, but Arthyl ran and offered to knock out whatever was causing the fake headaches of those who wanted it. No one went insane, but no one could truly remember everything, usually only useless fragments of memories.
