This thread is a supplementary thread to You are all Kobolds.

The purpose of this thread is for me to post details of kobold actions and for others to help me write flavour text up. In order that more than one person might work on it simultaneously without their work being made redundant, please make a post saying which kobold's results you're writing up before you write them, and then edit that post when the description is ready.

So if I post:

Alice:

• journeys through forest
• comes across a wounded bear
• pokes it with a stick

Bob:

• goes spear fishing
• crocodile appears
• runs away

Chuck:

• eats all the food
• can't fit the baby in his mouth
• goes to sleep behind a bush

You'd post something along the lines of:

Writing up Chuck.

Then, if you've finished with Chuck and feel like doing more, and nobody's claimed Alice or Bob, feel free to post again claiming one of them.

[ShadowZane]

Im in helping you with this^^

[Samthere]

Awesomeness, thanks

[ShadowZane]

Well, while RPing in games I often have to wait for others to type so...muuuccchhh of spare time xD

[FuzzyZergling]

I can help as well.
Should we post the flavor here, or pm it to you?

[Samthere]

Cheers! Posting here is fine. I'll be posting the abridged version here anyway, so people will have access to their results before the flavour is posted anyway, if they wish. I'll compile them after and make minor edits if appropriate, and then post them to the thread.

[Dwarmin]

Imma do it for ya!

[Weirdsound]

As I said in the game thread I'll help from time to time.

Alright, let's get to it! The kobolds are journeying to the Eastern body of water. The journey will take 16 steps (an unhindered kobold usually moves 6 steps in a 3-hour update, or 2 steps an hour). The cart can move anywhere from 0-6 steps in a 3-hour update, depending on the path and the circumstances.

I've split the journey into 3-hour stages. Each stage has parts for you to claim and write up.

noon >> mid-afternoon

   PART 1
   everyone travels together, kweed leading the way and helping the pony pull the cart
   the forest is still thriving here,
   have trouble pulling the cart over roots and make slow progress

   PART 2
   the group disturb a group of snakes in the grasses
   most of the group fling away the snakes without difficulty, averting a pony freakout
   Mahtkii ends up facing off against a snake at the edge of the group
   snake attacks Mahtkii, misses
   Mahtkii kills the snake, stepping on its neck and knifing it
   +1 viper corpse

   INDIVIDUAL PARTS
   # nreelrroi kept an eye out for an animal friend but none was forthcoming
   # mahtkii looked for resources, found wood
      +2 logs
   # LF tries to think back to the zombie fight, fails to remember it in detail
   # KK looks out for food, fails

   travelled 3 steps in total

mid-afternoon >> dusk

   PART 1
   move onto a desire path, easier travel
   good speed
   forest less colourful but noisier here

   # nree, as above
   # ichi, looks for herbs but finds nothing
   # mahtkii, as above but nothing found

   elk are rushing along the route you travel
   you have to wait aside as they pass
   some start looking around

   PART 2

   turns out to be a badger sett,
   badgers seem quite displeased and chase you out of the hole viciously
   the group moves away from the hole so as not to be bothered

   INDIVIDUAL PARTS

The expedition finally begins, with Kweed leading the pony and the others travelling behind. This part of the forest is free from corruption, and the abundance of roots and lower foliage make guiding the cart slow and tedious.
Nreelrroi:
As the cart makes its way towards the big water, you keep an eye out for a new animal friend.
There are bugs everywhere, and you think you see some rodents, but you don't catch anything suitable.

-you are travelling-
Mahtkii:
Wandering near the group in search of resources, you find some nice large pieces of wood. You stuff them in the cart, and continue.
+2 logs

-you are travelling-
Likesfighting:
Walking through the forest, your mind wanders back to the battle with the zombies.
You remember their slow shamble, and how the flesh festered under their rags, but the details of the fight are lost to you.

-you are travelling-
Kiyl-Kiyl:
As you travel, you keep on the lookout for food. Flying insects dart in the treetops, but it would be time consuming to catch them, and you wouldn't want to be left behind.

-you are travelling-
As the sun traces its arc across the sky, the group comes out of the thick forest into a field of grass. As the cart moves along, a group of snakes is disturbed!
Most of the group is able to pick up and throw away the snakes before the pony notices, but Mahtkii is too slow. As he reaches out, the snake strikes, but he reacts quickly and dodges! Mahkii stonps on the snake's neck, and stabs it with his whittling knife!
+1 viper corpse

-everyone is travelling-

TIME OF DAY:

Part 1: The expedition has some luck around midday-the tribe finds a section of unused road made of ancient cobblestones, which is an immense improvement from struggling through rough! They decide to travel it's length and soon pick up a rapid pace. The forest around them is a uniform green and brown wall, and they can hear many small (and large) animals in the vicinity.

Part 2: Nreelrroi is the first one to see a scrawny cougar stalking out of the bushes! Entertaining thoughts of getting her *2nd* cougar skull are quickly interrupted when Kweed rushes through (knocking over most of the smaller tribe in the process) yelling and swinging his clubs in his own crude style. The cougar, refusing to retreat before such meager prey digs its heels into the ground and swings a vicious left-pawed blow. Kweed, either by luck or actually skill, manages to parry the strike with his spiked club! Taking the intiative, he rolls in under the cougars guard and strikes him a telling blow on the chest, crushing a few rib bones to powder and making it scream loudly...it tries to run, but Kweed easily strikes a blow on it's flank, hobbling it-he finishes the beast with a blow to the head that obliterates most of its face. Then he hauls it back to the cart, and begins boasting loudly, as is his style.

"Kweed save tribe again! All thank Kweed for being save tribe again! Kweed not get cat scratch, save Nree-Nree from being cougar snack. Good day!"

Kweed has gained a level in Basher!

Part 3: Around the evening the tribe is surprised from above by a flock of birds-pretty, but noisy. The stench and the aerial bombardment of bird dung makes the next few hours...uncomfortable. A few answering bow and rock shots from annoyed Kobolds all miss!

-you are travelling-
Ichi
Through the trip, between the cougar battle, you look for plants, but find nothing except tasty bugs. In fact, you eventually forget about plants and find lots of bugs, which you eat. Yummy!

-you are travelling-
Mahktii
As you travel, you keep on the lookout for plants, but like Ichi, find nothing, and not even bugs, since Ichi searched in all the good places before you.

-you are travelling-
Nreeleroi
As you travel, you begin to notice a distinct, familiar sound coming from the underbrush...a stealthy padding, a muted growling...where was that from? Then you see it out of the corner of your eye, a shape! in the bushes, long and slinky and slunk low to the ground! It's a COUGAR!
Before you can leap into action and claim a second skull, Kweed knocks you down in his rush to attack the creature. By the time you get up, he's already hauling it's pulped up corpse to the cart, claiming how great he is. Show off!

Stage 3
As the sun descends in the sky, a large herd of elk begin crossing the road in front of the traveling clan. Not wishing to become roadkill, they decide to take a breather. While they are waiting, some of the goblins wander off into the woods, and it takes a while for them to notice the elk have finished and the road is clear. This is not helped by the commotion caused when a few of of the goblins find a bee's nest, but eventually they do get moving again.

As the group move on, Kiyl-Kiyl gets lost in the underbrush, and when the group finds him he has found a tasty fruit tree, and the goblins have a nice appley meal. While this is going on, Kweed''rik'tik finds a hole in the ground, and upon prodding down it with a long stick finds a clutch of angry badgers coming the other, and the group quickly moves on.
