A Humakti, an Uroxi, and a Vingan get drunk in a bar. The Uroxi throws his axe, the Vingan shouts "Duck!" and the Humakti says "Yes?"

Owing to power outages, I had to choose for us. Apologies.    Praise be unto Uralda, goddess of cows, may you find our ritualistic murdering of 10 cows to your liking.  I checked our magic screen and we didn't have any mysteries revealed.. so on a hunch I sacrificed, assuming things would be easier, and we recieved the Milk Blessing which increases the yield of our cows. Keen beans. Oh poo poo!  SECRET MURDER!      The most obvious suspect is the Uroxi warrior who Orlkensor refused to duel. The Uroxi's garb marked him as a member of clan Blue SpruceNo poo poo sherlock Still, it pays to be cautious...   This bitch.  AUSTRALI CLAN AIN'T NUTHIN TA gently caress WIT'!    Korlmar's pushing 60, but he's our best fighter. Worst case scenario he gets brutally murdered, best case scenario we win.. What could go wrong?    Well.. as good as could be expected I suppose. Still.. not happy with those Blue Spruce dickheads committing secret murder. Australi-tine will remember this  Righto, I haven't killed anyone lately.. things are probably going well..  Eww.. That ain't good. A feast sure as gently caress won't fix that. In the last LP I remembered a certain blessing that might be useful. Lets see if the D20 God is kind..    The Hope blessing improves the people's morale. One shrine coming up!    Spirit-talkers aren't sorcerers or anything bad like that. They talk to spirits, including our own ancestor spirits. They are not quite like normal people, and not quite foreigners. We still owe them courtesy and hospitality. (4) A Spirit Fetch is a magical item that replenishes our magic after we use it up. (3) Even if they weren't planning to fleece us ---which they are--- we can't afford their outrage prices. (1)How'd you do that line thing with your mouth...  They are not quite like normal people, and not quite foreigners. (1) I have nothing to add. Spirit-talkers have awesome powers, since they can call on a vast array of spirits. We can't risk offending them. (4)I'm off to bed Australi. Make me proud!  - "Begone! You are strange and weird!" - "Protect us from the undead." - "Sell us a Spirit Fetch or two." - "We need no sprit-talking, but we shall feed you." quote:

Bad King Urgrain hated foreigners more than he loved magic items, and refused to trade with outsiders. Buy spirit fetches.

Wergild literally means "man gold" (ie the amount of gold that man's life is worth -- it varies based on his social status). It's the customary price you pay when you kill someone so that his clan won't seek revenge. I've never been entirely clear on what happens if they don't take the wergild. Presumably, they'd stab you or something. Also feed those uglies.

Shamans are pretty great. If we've been having issues with regards to low magic, then you should buy a few fetches. Otherwise they look hungry, give them a nice meal.

Buy as many fetches as we can afford. Spirit fetches are worth their weight in iron.RabidWeasel posted:P sure that wasn't secret murder since the guy straight up said he was going to kill him. And he paid Wergild, paying his debt. We technically do not have a grudge against him, especially after duelling for the slain thane's honour.

Buy as many fetches as possible. They're relatively cheap for the benefit they provide.

But the spirit fetches, they're way to useful. We need more treasures anyways. Also that was depressing. And the duck mildly freaked me out.

Hit me with your rhythm stick! Haifisch posted:Buy some fetches. Click click click.   We bought 2. Sure hope these things are worth it, they cost a pretty penny. We tried sacrificing to Chalana Arroy to learn some mysteries to build a shrine, but nothing happened.   Another year gone by. Another year closer to our inevitable death.  Let's review!     At least we're not venting cows like last time  Survey says:  Someone mentioned it earlier, but we'll keep an eye out for these guys once they hit 18. Now then the real fun.. Here is our TENTATIVE magic allocation:  What do the talking heads recommend? Devote 3 to diplomacy. Then we should do rituals for war, trade, and mysteries. Leave something so we can deal with any crises that come up.Oh snap! He's sober again! Quick someone get a camera.. We have a reasonable reserve, but we should keep at least seven points on hand. You can never have too much magic.Did that blow go to your head last time mate? Allot 2 to crop magic. Our herds are also important, so earmark 1 for them. Leave some magic available in case we need to call on the earth goddesses. By the way, with an Uralda worshipper on the ring, we could perform more livestock rituals. It's easier keeping people healthy than trying to cure them later. I think we should allocate 2 to health magic, and conserve a few points in case we need to call on Chalana Arroy during the year.Time to vote Australi! Remember to get your free sausage sizzle on the way out of the voting booths!  What's the plan for Year 1332? Should we allocate any extra magic?

Infinitum posted:We tried sacrificing to Chalana Arroy to learn some mysteries to build a shrine, but nothing happened. Did you happen to sacrifice cows instead of goods? Because the goddess of healing doesn't accept any blood spilled in her name. For that matter, Urox also prefers goods, because he loves getting new poo poo to break.

Did we actually build a temple to Uralda, or did we just sacrifice to learn a blessing?

I sacrificed 10 cows  Mainly because we had 10 goods left over and I wanted to build a shrine (Which costs 10)my dad posted:Did we actually build a temple to Uralda, or did we just sacrifice to learn a blessing? No, and we just spent 30 goods on sticks.

We'll get some goods soon, I guess. We should absolutely build a shrine to Uralda. Also, save the magic points. We should probably heroquest next year, and it would be nice to have a reserve at hand. You can never have enough magic.

I'd say allocate at least 1 point to War and have a few parties in the tula of the closest clan that doesn't like us.
