Kweed''rik'tik:You flex your fingers in your new gauntlet; it's a good fit on you, and you like the feel. With your newly-armoured fist, you go about smashing the heads of the zombies in to make sure they don't rise again. When you're confident they're all nicely smashed (and then some), you shoulder one zombie after the next, bringing them away from the camp and dumping them. Finally, with Tiggi's help, you clear out the brute corpse.
-you are at the kobold cave-
Fuzz:With ease, you butcher the two boars, and salt their meat, hanging their skins to dry.
-1 headless boar corpse
-1 poisoned boar corpse
-1/8 bag white rock
+7 units raw boar skin
+27 boar bones
+7 salted boar meals
+10 poisoned salted boar meals
+1 boar skull
+2 boar tusks
NOTE: the poisoned meat is safe to eat; just don't rub it on cuts or feed it to people who may have internal injuriesYou gather up some cougar leather and start poking holes through it. Some stranger kobolds arrive and watch you work with interest, but you finish the job before you get super social. With some sinew and your bone needles, you stitch the seams together and finally puncture a larger hole near the opening so it'll hang off the pony's saddle.
-2 units cougar leather
+1 leather saddlebagYou give the pony a stroke on the nose as you try the saddlebag on it. It seems content with its fashion.
-you are at the kobold cave-
Ichi:You and Kurtulmak confer to treat his chest. You both seem to know exactly what to do, and he's feeling better in no time. Your treatment of the scratch on your leg goes just as well.
-1 set undergarments
Ichi: leg wound healedYou check on SmallOne, who's in a terrible state. The usually-talkative kobold now hasn't spoken for a couple days, and moves only in fits of coughing that interrupt his quiet, feverish moaning. You suspect only extreme willpower from the sick kobold could help him survive at this point, and shake your head regretfully.
Back into the forest you go, retracting your steps from when you followed Kweed. Here was were you were stood when the wraith attacked, there's where Likesfighting threw his spear - sure enough, you find the lost equipment.
+1 stout flint spear
+1 wooden fishing/hunting spear
+1 loose wooden shield
Ichi has gained a level in watcher!When you return, a bunch of strange kobolds are in the camp, kicking back with your tribeskobolds.
-you are at the kobold cave-
Tiggi:You tend to the animals and the adorable, funny, weird, stylish, snuggly, hairless, pink baby, who has no idea of what just really happened and who is perfectly content to grab your face and stroke it. Then you help clear up, taking the smaller, separated pieces of zombies while Kweed hauls away the corpses. As the task verges on finished, you put all your might into helping him drag away the corpse of the huge zombie.
-you are at the kobold cave-
Likesfighting:Inspired by the zombie fight, and knowing that a broken arm is no excuse to not be the best you can be, you train further, and further hone your spear skills both at close and far range.

Schlakal:You travel into the forest, ready to hunt and track more food. You feel extremely fortunate when a small boar bursts out of the brush, quickly grabbing your scimitar and readying an interception. Then, however, a hunting group of four viper men (snakes with arms and legs, slightly smaller than you) wielding short, crude, wooden spears burst out after it. You try your best to step back and blend into the background, but their tongues shoot out of their mouths and their heads snap towards you. They give up their chase of the boar and move towards you.
You attempt to flee, but they've already surrounded you. You slash hard and cut down the biggest one who blocked your way, and the others converge on you, jabbing with their spears. You jump out of the way of one but into another, and receive a scratch on your leg. The third viper man jabs at where you were standing originally, scratching its ally's abdomen. You spin around and slash at the one who scratched you, cutting open its belly. It holds itself and falls to its knees, trying to keep its guts in and avoid being sick.
The remaining two come at you again. One scratches you in the same spot, and you laugh at their weakness, just as the other's teeth clamp around your main hand. The wound isn't bad, but your arm sears with pain as venom is injected into you.
You go berserk, cutting and slashing at the standing viper men and forcing them to retreat, bloody and injured. As your vision gets blurrier and blurrier you stumble back towards the camp, at first dragging the slain viper, but then you let it go as walking gets harder. You keep yourself on your feet for a long time, but as everything you look at merges into one, you get lost. Extremely tired and confused, you lie down to rest.
minor leg wound
minor mainhand wound
medium poison effect...
You wake up, lucky to not have been found by savage creatures in the forest. Your head and thoughts are no longer quite so fuzzy, but you know the poison could still harm you, so, without pushing yourself, you get back to the camp as quickly as possible. A bunch of new kobolds are hanging out there, but you're in no mood to greet them immediately. Safe amongst allies (and strangers), you allow yourself to rest on the ground again.
-you are dizzy at the kobold camp-
Ungbuktu:You carve slots into animal bones for the arrowheads, spending a while finding the best way to do it. You then promptly discard these practice arrows and take a handful of new boar bones, repeating the best technique you came up with. After the heads are firmly in, you wear down the bones to make them thinner and more regular.
-6 hyena bones
-20 boar bones
+20 boar bone bronze-head arrowsThen you take a log and star smoothing it into a ski shape - a sled should be able to be pulled down the hill fairly easily.
-1 log
+1 adequate sled ski-you are at the kobold camp-
Kurtulmak:With both your own and Ichi's combined medical expertise, you take care of your chest awesomely. What could have taken days to heal has been healed almost instantly thanks to KOBOLD SCIENCE! The only outcome of the wound is a slight dip in your chest where one of your ribs has been pushed back slightly.
Kurtulmak: chest wound healed-you are at the kobold camp-
EVERYBODY:After a couple of hours of various activities, the kobolds point out some puny stranger kobold bursting from the forest and charging at the camp like a maniac. Kweed''rik'tik, as a mighty chief, is quick to jump up and meet the outsider. As the first kobold introduces himself as Mahtkii, another one walks out from the forest and introduces himself as B'lyk. Another kobold has broken from the forest at another point and is inspecting the hanging boar skins with great delight.
After B'lyk and Kweed have had some mildly intimidating discourse and an agreement has been reached, B'lyk waves back at the forest, ushering his hidden allies in. Two kobolds, one yawning and carrying an odd stick, the other skull-helmed, stern and silent, emerge from the forest, walking either side of a third, very old kobold, whose impressively-decorated staff clicks against the ground before him with each step.
Kweed meets each one before letting them mingle with his tribeskobolds.
