I didn't notice that I started with 0 skill...
Your skill is higher than 0, and to be fair you probably should have been given a chance to have "failures and mistakes" to give you a better shot at making a fine quality item. On the other hand you aren't exactly swimming in prime pieces of wood, seeing as you are on a plain. Sure you can find wood, but the quantity available isn't as great, so chances are you couldn't afford failures and mistakes. Meh, I'll allow more "failure" efforts next time I guess. Something to keep in mind is that the spear wasn't "botched", it's a perfectly serviceable spear. Average quality craftsmanship. It just isn't superior.
try to hunt whatever i find around the herd
Not quite sure what you mean by this.
...
The Patriarch currently intends to go in a easterly direction, since the next clanmeet is that direction, but he is perfectly willing to go in any direction. He reminds you that the tribe has a responsibility they have to meet in providing 700 sheep at the next clanmeet.He has ordered new warrior to hunt with Ahra. So expect a better outcome in your next hunt. Between the three of you who are talking about hunting, there might be a shot to do something bigger and more effective.
Ahra is the only one with hides. He has 3. Just ask him.
Camel-like creatures have once been seen by a trader in a Northwesterly location. The trader never revealed where he was from. No horses have ever been seen. You could always attempt to rope the deer-like pray animal. With Ahra's help you could probably find one quite easily.
The Shearer and partner came from El-kekein. The Warrior came from Ignis-Al. The Weaver and one of the females came from El-Ejesaq, the remaining female came from El-Opalq. Such people trades are fairly common amongst the Clan. Clan lines used to be more solid, but when central authority broke down the population of a lot of core clans slipped and this became required to prevent inbreeding. It existed before the clan leader became a solid figure for awhile too, so it wasn't unheard of when the clan went back to it. They are all part of El-Effichen now, so where they came from isn't very relevant.
You've had a private herd for awhile now. Everyone would have if not for the "unique" starting conditions of your tribe preventing me from raising them up from within your tribe (2 adults). Actually a lot of what brought the warrior and shearer in was that they had small herds and the chief gave them sheep as bribes to join his tribe. Then there was sheep payment for the women, which are all technically his "daughters" right now in the role he has over them. Of course he mainly wanted them so he wouldn't have to deal with toddlers and infants, so yea.
Finally, You guys aren't "capturing" territory, so you aren't really "expanding" your tribe. As nomads you expand your tribe via population or bigger herds. One supports the other. Of course nothing is really stopping you from settling down. You aren't exactly following any major game animal that you rely on for food. You instead move your herds over land. Having adequate forage for those herds is all that really prevents you from settling down. But until you do that, "expanding" in a direction isn't really possible, since you have nothing to expand with. I guess it technically counts if you consider yourself contracting in the exact opposite direction...
