Hunter Hunted “Oh, I’ll help you allright. I’d appreciate it if good Orvars talents were used elsewhere, though, our ways are different and not necessarily complementary.” Orvar puffs up. “I can do this myself!” Jarang silences him with a stare. “You might. But tricks might follow you. Orlenda has offered her help, and she decides how it is done.” He glowers, but acquiesces. “As she says, we might not be better together.” Jarang nods, pleased with this observance of his authority. “This Ring is lifted. Go in peace, or the Stone will force you to.” You go your separate ways, but you manage to corner Jarang and Mernala at the edge of Owl Clearing, trying to get some information that might help you. Jarang postures, talking in terms of rights and custom and how whoever is stirring up the wolves must be killed or taken ransom, but Mernala seems more intent on revealing knowledge that could help. “Once, many moons ago, a wolfpacks own wyter broke loose and tracked a pack down from the Thunder Hills and all the way to our herds, giving them sharper teeth and greater senses. However, a hero thane broke the spirits back and sent them away. Another option could be the Telmori, or two-legged wolves. Fierce Hsunchen, were-tribals, who cast their lot in with chaotic evil, they sometimes wander far from their haunts and stir up wolves. In our world, however, there is almost never a clear answer, and all we know is there are wolves and probably someone behind them.” In response to your queries about the flock itself, Jarang tallies heads. “We now have 102 cows now, 25 goats, 31 sheep and the cottars have maybe 25 pigs among them. The goats and sheep are driven, but not far this time of year, and we protect the cows and pigs in place.” You thank her, and start to consider your options. You’ll have little time before the animal strikes again, and custom in no uncertain way says you have to act before more precious heads are lost. A) “I will go to the cottars and figure out a way to ambush the predator.” This will have an average chance of success, but if it works you’ll have an advantage on the foe. B) “I will divine where the culprit hides and seek it out.” This is hard to do, but Lhankor Mhy himself will tell you the score if you make it. C) “I’ll talk to the hunters and stalk our prey.”. This is probably the most dangerous option, but if anyone knows where to find the hunter, it’s the wood-folk. D) Something else?

A While I love chatting with lhankor mhy, this isn't his domain, and if our orlanthi or hunters haven't been able to divine it, it's unlikely we can

Depends. Sometimes divining is the province of the clan ring and shamans, and other members of the clan either can't or won't spend their magic on it. It could also be a way to test you and your cult against the way the ring does things at present.

B It is implied there is something behind this. My glorantha knowledge is a little hazy and dated, but if I recall individuals cannot be punished when the gods are angry. The community has to bear the punishment and the only way to determine what has gone wrong is divination. If this is a case of divine wrath, we need to sort out who the offender is and have them make things right.

If an allied spirit was the culprit, then this is would be the way to clear up which taboo was broken, yes. Your elders seem to think there's an outside cause, though.

Divination To divine is sacred, risky and tricky business. You will, in principle, be able to know everything that Lhankor Mhy knows, but the pitfalls are many. Mhy will only see the things he knows in the Story-Time, the god world that was locked into the cosmos by a great stasis event in the ancient past. Even a devoted sage like yourself don’t know many details of this process, but your divination potential is limited by what is within Lhankor Mhys sphere of influence. Laying out the sacred scrolls, your statue of Mhy and bowls of sage’s weed incense, you commit to the process. Drawing up a chart of understanding, you write out your problems on it, and burn it on a fire mixed with salt. The salt flares up in patterns in response to your questions. Who is behind the cattle slaying? Someone hungry and desperate. Did the Telmori do it? No, though someone of their ways Did a Hsunchen do it? Yes. Where is it now? In its lair, 400 paces east of the gate. What gate? South gate of town. It’s on. You are dealing with a man, though one who might have fiercely loyal animal tribemates. You.. A) Rush there, stopping only to don your heavy armor, shield and pick-ax. B) Pick up your militia kit (easily transportable weapons like spear, club and javelins) and gather some friends who are not Orvar. C) Something else?

I love that Lhankor Mhy is like a ouiji board or magic 8-ball! Signs point to B. The sheepkillers are with their pack, and if I recall- hsunchen have strong magic. I'm wondering why our clan thought they were wolves since Lhankor Mhy thinks otherwise. Maybe these guys might have some sort of mesmerising power and have beef with the telmori.

Get a Group Time is of the essence, so you run to your pony Geolmarth and gather your ‘quick bag’, containing your militia weapons and a thicker linen armour tunic you can get into without bother. This should afford you time to gather some allies. On your way you meet Brodaral, a lanky jock-like youth who favoured you when you both were younger, and he is.. grown. Massive storm runes decorate his swole arms, and a belligerent air tells you he might be useful. Your entreaties come to nothing at first. “You didn’t think anything of me then, why would you now?” he says. You explain that you’ve gone to confront beast-tribals on behalf of the clan. He reluctantly says he’ll come, no one would not help the clan when asked, but isn’t too willing to just help you. He straps on a wicker shield and a massive club, trusting the gods to keep him safe for the rest. You don’t get off on a good foot, but you have to keep moving. Next up is Ernar, a young man whom you vaguely recognize as your nephew on your fathers side! You implore him to get his spear and back you up, as he must now be old enough to own one. He seems skittish at the prospect of danger, but the merest hint that you speak for your family and the implacable force that is Sena the Gray, has him snapping to with great enthusiasm. You reassure him on the way, that the more you are, the easier this will be. Upon reaching the south gate, a fresh-faced Vingan with several battle scars asks what you’re doing in such a hurry, and as you mention the missing cattle, she insists on joining you. “You need the Storm Tribe present” she says, ignoring the snarls of Brodaral as she insists so. Both worship one of the Storm Brothers, it appears, but hopefully this will just encourage them to out-do each other in combat. The Hunter. You quickly wave your intrepid band of clanfolk on, and as you close with the divined position, you start to get the tightness of the danger-mind in you. The thick Bayberry vines close around you, and though you are at home in this treacherous shrub, you don’t know what you’re facing. You listen carefully to your surroundings, but nothing comes up. Your Vingan compatriot, who gave her name as Arestra Plough-Breaker, perks up. “There’s talking” she whispers, “but I don’t understand it”. Sneaking forward through the less thorny areas, you hear rustling and press on. You see low-backed shapes rush out of the clearing you burst into. Ernar impetuously throws a rock after them, but doesn’t hit your escaping quarry. This demands quick thinking and a quicker response. You.. A) ..Go on the reasonable assumption that your foes know less about the area than you do, and order your party to “clap”, goading them towards a sheer cliff side where you can corner them. None of you are among the best hunters, but it’s got to work, right? B) Run them down directly and overtake them with hand weapons. They wouldn’t have taken flight if they were not weaker than you, and you don’t want them to get away. C) Defer to your team? They must have magics and skills among them you don’t. D) Something else?
