Endarei 13 Early Dark Season Recruiting swords and sacrificing mysteries were both popular. Let's recruit swords in case some assholes show up. I'm going for the max number (+7, which would bring us to 9 plus our traveling dudes if it goes perfectly) and not offering extra gifts because as badly as we need swords we're also in desperate need of everything else.  It is fine.  Dwarves in the mountains! Also, our very least favorite False Sun.  Trade caravan returned successful. Endarei 13, Late Dark Season  Busenari, Cow Mother, is the last major food deity we don't have a shrine to and I don't want to delay to vote on a specific god to sacrifice to right now.  Calf Blessing increases the fertility of our cows, which while not as immediately useful as Milk Blessing is really great for the long term. We should seriously consider building a shrine to keep it up in perpetuity.   The walls of your story tent shudder and shake. The tent consist of embroidered bands of canvas, each chronicling a distinct generation of your clan's history. Emblems remind your elders of the great deeds your ancestors performed in the Golden City and during the exodus. Threads loose themselves from the tent fabric, forming themselves into a human-like shape. Your elders speak to the being, who claims to be Polanom, a long-dead ancestor commemorated in the saga embroidered on the tent. "Do not delay me," it intones. "I have slept too long and must count my clay jars." Ask for a story. Coax Polanom to ascend to the sky, to Elmal's side. Coax Polanom to rejoin his fellows on the tent wall. Let Polanom do as he wishes.  - Polanom fought gloriously against the forces of Chaos.No recommendation.  - Ask him to teach us a song.No recommendation.  - Don't let him entangle our goats.Either coax option.  - Sacred stories help us build temples.Ask for a story.  - Sending him to Elmal may strengthen us in war. Guiding him back into the tent may aid our magic more generally.Anything except letting him do as he wishes.  - Don't let him entangle our goats.Either coax option.  - If we let him run loose, the people will rightly lose confidence in us.Anything except letting him do as he wishes.

This is one if the reason why it took a whole year to build houses. Some random painting just decides to hops out of the wall and entangle with the sheep!

We haven't actually done that venture yet, but yeah, the venture existing means it takes at least a year. Edit: I have been corrected on the concept / phrasing, it's more about being able to harness the clan's enthusiasm / spare worktime outside of subsistence agriculture.

Let him tell us a story about goat entanglement (This style of thing where you hand the actual gameplay and only ask for votes for major decisions is probably wise if updates are going to be multiple days apart, just in the interest of the LP not lasting multiple years)

cheetah7071 posted:Let him tell us a story about goat entanglement It was a horrible workweek and I'm intending to have tighter updates again, but yeah, I'm leaning towards handling more of the generic month-to-month stuff myself. Thread input on stuff like: Exploration directions if we have a little more information, definitely everything about Godplane Rituals, almost certainly ventures, maybe who to pick on and who to befriend.

Probably a wise choice, especially since a lot of that stuff is busywork. Important busywork, but not exactly interesting to vote on each time. Also, story time!

Looking closely at the art, Polanom must have been super important. In the background you can see a bunch of human figures who are both much smaller and embroidered with much less detail. Giving a single ancestor that much space and that much detail must mean he was a super cool dude.

Giving a single ancestor that much space and that much detail must mean he was a super cool dude. The text is a bit ambiguous, to me it reads like he's formed from "threads", rather than just snapping himself off. So he may have cannibalized adjacent scenes, or rearranged multiple layers (the images are layered, similarly to some felted textiles from Pazyryk) into one bigger layer.

Well, let him count his clay jars  Wait, that's not an option. Okay, tell us a story! Preferably not about entanglement and animals.

Glad to see these small outbursts of magic that you have to deal with are still a thing in this game. I'm a bit curious about what happens if you let him go unchecked. What's the harm in him counting jars? But it doesn't seem like we're doing that so I say Return to the wall!

No, you fools! His story will surely involve goats and when he acts it out he will almost certainly entangle our goats. Think of the goats!!!

Endarei 13 Late Dark Season Event We now know the details of a new sacred story! Normally you have to get these through sacrificing for mysteries.      Rams! Trolls!  We just got the Busenari Calf Blessing, so may as well get her shrine up to get our cows to get it on.  Also, we need more trade routes. These dudes like us, aren't nearby, haven't been caravaned yet, and are next in alphabetical order.   A handful of men in your clan, from various families, have unexpectedly undergone shamanic initiation. Like most Hyaloring clans you use shamans to deal with spirits, but it's unusual to have so many initiate at once, and to the same spirit. All of their spirit helpers are giant deer, like those your hunters sometimes pursue. The new shamans tell you that they are now members both of the Blazing Goats clan and a spirit world clan called the Antler Society. They say this connection will be needed in coming dark times, when gods will abandon humanity. - Leave the council out of it. - Let your unease be quietly known. - Offer them support in conducting a blessing rite. - Condemn this strange worship. - Commend this new worship. - Our influence with the people depends on their mood.No recommendation. - People won't like it if we sacrifice wealth and get nothing for it.Leave the council out of it. - When we left the Golden City for a hostile new land, Yanade showed us how to talk to its spirits.No recommendation. - Commend their magic, or we will sprout unwanted antlers from our heads!Commend this new worship. - We have clan magic available, so lending support to their blessing will not cost us much.Support their blessing rite. - When Raven was new and strange, the Hyalorings embraced him. Sort of.Support their blessing rite. - They don't seem to grant fighting magic.Leave the council out of it. Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Aug 10, 2018 |

Hyalor taught us to embrace new things, because in a changing world, what you need to do to survive is also changing. Having powerful spirit allies sounds helpful to me, even if we don't quite yet know how they fit in, so I say we commend them

 Keep them around and mock them. Men who call themselves flaming goats are funny, especially men who don't know what goats are.
