If we want to be the next Rome, we need a memorable aesthetic  I'm looking up neat masks next. edit: Also, we want prisoners, not just dead people.

Ase-ehat? Willow bark? Vv: honestly don't know what you're talking about and I've had juuust enough to drink not to care.... But I do think we should encourage our tribe members to tech up and lead/advise them on a genocidal campaign of domination down River Outrail fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Sep 21, 2015 |

hollylolly posted:What do they use right now for weapons? Flint knives and spears? Im fairly sure, yeah. So upgrading to the Kamayaris shouldn't be too much of a difference to them. edit: knife buddy says that if we have sulfur, we can mix latrines, dead bodies, and coal, and let it cook for a few months. It'll make a gunpowder approximation. edit: Which will lead us into pike and shot camapigns nicely

hollylolly posted:What do they use right now for weapons? Flint knives and spears? Flint axes, spears, clubs. Also wooden spears. Seems like good place as any to wrap this up. What do you do with regards to Spiders offer? A. Give him two strips for the knowledge to push the tribe to the industrial age, gifts of bog iron, magic charging stone. B. Chop down the tree for A, a cover-up job and a free trip to the City of Black Stones. C. Reject the offer, but only so you can come up with a better plan for stealing the offerings. D. Reject the offer and go back to the Shaman E. Reject the offer and call Owl on spider being skeezy F. Reject the offer but tell him you'll think about it G. Hey, its me. You should really think about taking A or B. Lets have some fun! -Spider

Go Big or go home. Also, knife buddy says that a full one piece chest plate requires skill to make, while if we just chomp out a bunch of squamata, we can sew them to hides. No skill needed, and Roman Republic in defense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorica_squamata edit: Does our group have experience with slings?

Aww I missed question time  But anyways, this spiderguy probably isn't even the shadiest fellow we've worked for. So I'd say plan B. However, do we have anything to chop the tree down with? What are our chances of getting caught in the act? How can we even trust the spider to hold onto its half of the bargain?

Nyaa posted:Isn't this a polygamous society? Most people are Monogamous, however if a member of the tribe is exceptional he or she may take another spouse. It factors into their tribal belief of balance. Taking more than one spouse without providing something equal to depriving someone of that partner is a mortal sin. Marriage can be informal cohabitation but it is encouraged that they take the formal rite through the chief. The chief has three wives though one more or less married him. Several hunters have two wives as their children will be great hunters as well so it provides a net gain for the tribe. There is a female sculptor with several husbands and two wives, but that marriage isn't in any way formal the Sculptor house is weird like that. People don't like to talk about it. As long as the work gets done.

F - I want to talk to the Shaman about why we absolutely shouldn't give Spider an offering. Haggling is good, but we'll still be taken for a ride if we don't have any idea what our trade items are actually worth, which is the current state of affairs. We can always come back.

If we bring too much change too fast (by making deals with spider or otherwise) it'll just cause drama, too. We have the resources to set up copper smelting and that'll keep things interesting for at least a year or two. You dodged the question of why I was getting a phone signal. That's not just random energy, the phone's radio needs to actually talk to a remote radio tower and get replies back for bars to show up. What's going on there?

The lizard-people are way older than these upstart-apes. Millennia. As, I said, way diminished sense of humor. I'm off topic. It's magic, I don't have to explain poo poo. Or was it super advanced technology? I never can tell the two apart. Regardless, I can't go there anymore so I forgot which one it was. If I were you I'd go myself.

Though what they did next was hardly my fault. It's ancient history, literally. And your tense is off. The Chief killed the last king not too long ago. Can't be more than a handful left I guess. But hey, you don't have to take my word for it." Somewhere a pithy tune plays for a moment. Spider laughs. Arkanomen fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Sep 21, 2015 |
