40 children?! O_O

Anyway: Arv starts organizing patrols in response to the Mokoli. Arv also requests the matriarch to fortify the village. Arv intends to look over the warrior's equipment too, in order to conter the mokoli's raids.

[Azkul]

Are the pre-teens fertile?

Are the pre-teens fertile?

Nope.

[Azkul]

Azkul looks after the herd

[micelus]

Spend time teaching the pre-teen children the ways of trading.

[Ahra]

i look after the herd and try to tech the younger about archery. (they need some time off, also i need an giant longbow to use this strength, or an hammer)

[Firelordsky]

I help cultivate the fields.

Mafun decides to start off slow in his ascent to manhood (what a wimp) and joins up with one of the tribe's hunting parties, armed with a bunch of throwing spears. 'Hunting' to the Moloki means slaughtering anything they find, with the exception of human females, who the Chieftain has recently decreed to be more valuable as slaves... A rather horrible fate given the small number of females currently in the tribe.

(His stats ended up pretty much exactly how I imagined them, actually! )

Tribe: El-Effhichen

Name: Tak'am
Role: Shaman
Age: 35

Tak'am's tribe was annihilated through unknown means during the night. He woke up to find all of his people dead or missing. Fortunately, Tak'am was the only person untouched - Whether it was because his status protected him from the wrath of the gods, or simply because warriors from enemy tribes were fearful of entering his tent without permission. In the latter case, if the decades of generational fear and respect didn't work- Tak always decorated his tent with the heads and skulls of dead animals - sometimes the entrails and blood if it was an important day.
After spending many days ritualistically cremating the bodies, he began to start checking the footprints around the camp, in an effort to find out where his people had been taken. However, after half a day of this, it suddenly began to rain, washing the tracks away, and Tak took this as a sign to move on. During the rain he Gathered together his shaman-ly possessions (except his tent. A new one would need to be built when he arrives at his destination) in a huge rucksack which he slung on his back. Then he ritualistically carved a travel totem - A hiking stick which doubled as a plea for guidance, luck and plenty. (Most of his particular religion was based around the carving of glyphs into weapons, armor and trinkets, which had made him a fair hand with the whittling knife.)
As luck would happen, he was guided to the El-Effhichen tribe. Seeing another tribe on the verge of extinction made the shaman seek out the chief immediately, and request to join - to which the chief replied that many people had been joining without asking anyway, and he didn't have a problem with it.

Hunt, we need food.

[Kogan Loloklam]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
God damn cat just ruined 4 hours of putting together a turn report.

Granted 3.5 hours of that weren't ruined since it was fleshing out bugs in a system, but still...

Turn report is coming. Be patient.

(Edit: El Effhichen is ready)

Spoiler: El-effhichen (click to show/hide)

Nix's hunt at first seems like a great success, until he is unable to bring down any prey. Fortunatly he didn't hurt himself, though several times it was a close thing. It is clear that Nix's skill with a spear could use some work.
Azkul helps tend the flock with assistance from Micelus and Ahra. They also spend some time teaching the children Archery and Trading. They manage to control the flock well without problems.

The tribe encounters a wandering Shaman from the clan. He is accepted into the tribe with little fuss.

The Patriarch has some of the sheep slaughtered to provide food for the next 3 months.
The tribe makes it safely to the summer meeting point.

Almache didn't fare so well this turn. Fortunately (or unfortunately) the Mokoli were raiding the Kovan this season.

Spoiler: Almache (click to show/hide)

The Matriarch expresses there is no time to waste energy preparing defenses against the beasts in response to Arv's request. She points out that they are just wild animals and therefore of no concern. She is annoyed by the request.
The Almache have bad luck foraging. They only acquire 2 months of food for the summer. The Matriarch blames the patrols for the poor harvest.
The social standing of Arv's house has gone down from 2nd to 3rd due to the Matriarch's displeasure.
Arv attempted to infiltrate the Mokoli village. He was spotted well short of it. There was a brief engagement and Arv was injured (this engagement was detailed better when I wrote up the report. Frigging cat and it's desire to jump on my random keys.). Arv will be injured until next spring.

Arv's Family Holdings:
Arv's younger sister is the Head of her group. She holds:
5 Men (Father, Uncle, Arv, Brother, Partner)

Friendly raft of Sea Otters nearby that help the tribe fish
1 Village of 35 people.
30 Acres of Farmland (30 Acres plowed)

Spoiler: Mokoli (click to show/hide)

Mokoli launched a raid of 20 warriors at a Koven village. They successfully raided the village, killing 2 men and capturing 4 women and 4 children. The tribe has grown by 5 people, and 1 month of food due to the raid. (Massive battle report lost thanks to a cat. It took 3 turns for the 20 warriors to overrun 1 defender. Mafun was allowed to fight one of them one on one and bloodied himself by running the Koven warrior through the heart with his spear. He managed it after 4 rounds of hand to hand with the remaining defender.)
The Mokoli warriors also hunted, gaining 1 month of food.

Mafun's Holdings:
None

Village Assets:
1 Village of 131 people.
8 Months of food

NPC tribe notes: Koven retreated from a Raiding party in the nearest Koven village to Mokoli but the village and most of it's population remain intact. El-kekein and Meqq-Al both met up with El Effhichen in their summer meeting grounds, which is not anywhere on the map shown. (Jungles are bad places for Nomads and Herds)

Hunt, we need food.  Also, this will serve as practice in spear usage.

[Kogan Loloklam]

You do need practice. Hunting isn't as effective as actually practicing though. It'd be better if you could be trained, but your tribe doesn't really have any spear wielders that I can see. You ARE at the clanmeet, however...

Also, sheep are easier to move than 400 Lbs of food. You aren't in dire straits for food yet, seeing as you still have a flock. Not to say that hunting couldn't hurt, seeing as it would allow you to keep more of your sheep alive. There are other things to do with your sheep, making wool clothing and stuff, but it doesn't appear as if your tribe has it, or that there is free population to spread that skill out. So yea. Goodnight.

[micelus]

List of Things to do at the Clansmeet:

• Name all tribes gathered
• See if there is anything of interest to trade from the other tribes
• Hire 2 shearers to teach Micelus and some of the children on how to shear. Once completed, shear the sheep. Pay them in some woolen hides.
• Get the Patriarch and go visit with our allies. Ask them if they've heard of any interesting news. Talk about trade routes, friendly tribes, any new trade goods, etc.
• See if anyone is in the market for children for their tribes. First priority goes to our allies.
• Go amongst the tribes and hear about the things they've seen in their journeys.

Things Micelus wants:

• Crows ( the ones the clan have tames)
• Goats
• Basic tools (hammers, spears, bows, arrows, etc)
• Drawing materials (if possible)

Yeah I still wanna hunt.  And the hunt will get me some experience, anyway.
