It was a big flat stone that was required for the most recent part...
Good to see others are picking this game up again...

There was some activity earlier, now we want to improve our standing in the tribe.

Just begin working on a couple more spears while sitting where everyone can see you. Eventually they'll figure out what you're doing.

Also, the spoiler tag for the 'tribe' doesn't have a closing tag. You used [/quote] instead.

OH GOD NO! NOT THE DEMOCRABRAIN!!! I TRY TO FIT EVERTHING IN!!! YREAAAAAA, NO DEMOCRABRAIN, ANYTHING BUT THAT, NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

You hobble, peh damn wounds, over to Naish'na and ask her what she is drawing. (Comparatively, it's about the same quality as my non-pixel MSPaint style... so, sucks hella bad) It's you! fighting wolf spirits... sortof, you can definately make out a humanoid and a few qudrapeds... and she SAYS it's you..... You compliment her for the though, and, you disregard the other thing you came over here to do, you dont want them to know YOUR secrets..... But you do ask for help in the social structure of this 'tribe' she squbbles down some stuff on the back of her drawing...

Heh, whoops!

You tell Naish'na about your construct outside, and what you need to finish it. She seems a bit cautious about doing it alone, but you coax her into doing it...

You then grab the ruined rabbit pelt, because thats the nearest thing you could find for knapping protection, and start knapping a bunch of blades, shaped like () and double bladed... you manage to make about 20..... Way to go. The other men casually look over to what your doing, scoff a couple of times, and try to do it themselves... almost cutting their own hand off a couple of times... You laugh, they snarl, you stop laughing.....

You decide to head outside... things are just getting too tense in the man-cave. You make it out and find a strange sight... the kiln is finished! You can now use it to do what ever you where going to use it for...

Go nab some stiff clay, make a few bowls, start up a fire in the kiln, and make a few hardened bowls. Big ones. Then use them to get some water from the river and cook some steak in the water. Season it and see if it tastes good.

For what we want to do in the tribe, tell anyone who asks that we don't want leadership, but we would enjoy a position of something akin to Thinker, or Scientist, or Medicine man.

Plant some berries in the nearest Dark, moist soil.

We're injured Karne, let's save that for when we aren't injured. Which I assume will be in two turns with
Bob's recovery rate. We can ask Naish'na to do that stuff, but it would probably be best to keep her around so we don't get killed by the tribe.

For now see if Naish'na can get the tribe to go gather more pelts, bone, wood, vines, and stone. While they're doing that try improving the axe design by making it double-bladed, also use a better stick for it.(Not sure if that's the right term, but you should know what I meant by that.)

You take a look at your ax, and inspiration strikes! You completely disassemble it, for reasons yet unknown, and start to rebuild it...

     /\   |   /\

   /    \ | /    \

Well, now you have an awesome flint battle-ax... You are instantly out of pain, and go get some more clay... most of the river is still frozen, but the clay is soft enough from the melting snow. You grab a few glob-fulls, and mold a large bowl, which is just small enough to fit inside the kiln for fireing, then you light the flame underneath... It takes a few hours, but the bowl is now shiny and mezmerizing like the other one you fired in your pit... you wait a few minutes more and pull it out, it's absolutely beutiful!

You take the bowl inside, place it over the flames, which the other 3 men were astonished that it didn't extinguish the flames, and put some meat inside, along with some parsley, the juices from the meat create enough liquid to make a soup-like mixture...

Add seasoning to the stew checking how it tastes every few minutes so we know how long to cook it next time.
Now that we are instantly healed due to Bob's genius idea of making a battle axe we should search for salt and bamboo. We'll need salt for better cooking, and bamboo to improve the spear further.

Ok, we have nothing to sample or even eat stew with, other than our hands and the bowl its cooking in, I have it scaled to the size of a wok.
Salt is very hard to come by, unless your near an ocean, which we aren't, or can dig deep underground for ground deposits... Bamboo, well thats a tropical/sub-tropical plant, and we are not in the far-east, so it's not around anywhere...

After the stew is done and eaten, if we have time we should see if we can make some rope. If there's still time after that, tie the rope to a stone, tie the other end to the highest tree branch we can and watch it spin around with the earths rotation.

This will serve to make the others see that we can "do magic" and hopefully include us in their tribe.

We're Bob the highly intelligent caveman. We've stopped functioning on logic the instant he learned that it was called flint.
Use the dagger to carve a spoon before burning our hand on stew again.

We actually need to plant crops, but that won't take too long out of our day. In fact, we could probably do that while the stew is cooking.

You go cut out more wood from the felled tree, and from that with your knife you carve: 8 Decent Wooden Spoons, 8 Decent Wooden Bowls, A Decent Wooden Ladel, and a little wooden statuette of yourself... you clear out a small patch of soil, and plant a few barries there... not knowing the growth rate of the berries, nor when the berries are edible, you'll just have to wait...

You start to hear screams, but they aren't of fright, or surprise, coming from the forest..... The men start to snicker once they hear it. It's been a while since the 'Leader' left with the women... Naish'na, who helped you with carving the wooden utensils, blushes and goes inside...

Oh good, new tribe members.

Is the stew ready? If so, serve it to the people who are here. If not, forage away from the screams.

Continue foraging for vines/possible bamboo until the screams stop. Then go talk to the leader about how you can become an official member of the tribe, and see if you can convince him to at least use your weapon designs.
