I’m only partly here for the racism i think post apocalyptic with fantasy elements could be a great time.

“It wasn’t science that ended the world but the efforts of a mad cult who everyone discounted as crazy. But when their ritual successfully broke down the barrier between our world and that of the others civilization as we know it was nothing but a memory of the past”

Something like that could be a cool concept

Alright, let's do a tally of the votes.

Seems like 'human' is the favored race.

The favored terrain is 'swamp'.

Tech level is 'iron age'.

For magic you picked 'blood' and 'alchemy' being 'rare'.

Culture is 'loosely regular'.

Races are 'few civilized'.

Plants and animals are 'regular and weird'.

Age of the world is having 'many ruins'.

Is this okay?

There have been expressive amounts of votes for 'post-apocalypse' and 'steam' tech. I might introduce those elements at some point.

I will start writing now.

In the heart of the Mistwood swamp, a small tribe of humans establish their civilization. After settling their disputes, the two largest clans in the region, the clan Mistwalker and the clan Ironroot, which were once warring, join into one tribe through a diplomatic marriage and decide to build a city in the swamp. They find some ruins in large patch of dry land in the heart of the swamp and begin building. Soon a couple other swamp clans, the clan Stormwatch and the clan Mossfoot, hear about it and decide to join them as well.
The four clans form a tribe through a bond of blood, intermarrying and . A few houses are built and a town hall. Most of the population still lives scattered throughout the swamp, living in their traditional dwellings amidst their clan men. But the nobles are enjoying their new homes, in a city they call "Sylvanheart".

You are the child of the chief of the Mistwalkers. When your father died, you were voted by the council of the elders leader for life, in an election where the other candidates were the leaders of the other three clans.

> Name leader

You really excel at:
> Leadership. Trained from an early age to be an exceptional leader, under your guidance every endeavour will prosper
> Combat. A peerless champion, you were defeating your trainers even as a small child. You can defeat scores of lesser men, and fight mighty beasts.
> Magic. Having learned the ancient art from an old hag, you can reliably cast a few simple spells and have the potential to learn more

I really am not good at names I suggested the nameless is because it sounds vaguely edgy and i could see some story hooks there. Born with obvious magical prowess our father was two scared to name us for fear of insulting the spirits that clearly inhabit our body.

I choose magic for our background because in a world where magic is rare having access to it seems to offer a substantial advantage.

You were born during a rare planetary allignment and the shamans gave to your father the omen that you were destined to be a magician due to the many spirits that found their way into your body. Wary of offending the spirits inhabitting your body by giving you an improper name, he left you Nameless.

Not knowing how to raise a magically inclined child, he left you in the care of the swamp hag, the only caster the tribe knew. She raised you and taught you how to use your powers. Although you grew to learn how to master a few simple spells, your upbringing away from the rest of the clan makes them all a bit wary and fearful of you, and you in turn somewhat shy and timid for a leader.

Still, they decided to put you as the leader, maybe believing they could steer the tribe in the right direction with you at the helm - an inexperienced leader tends to be pliable.

In the swamp there are a few smaller clans with which you have neutral relations; a tribe of lizardmen called Shizikata, that mostly keeps to themselves; and if the whispers of the hunters are to be relied upon, the Awakahukan, a very small clan of demon worshippers who kidnap people that sleep alone in the swamp to sacrifice to their demon god.

Outside the swamp to the north there are the lands of the orcs, to the south there are humans, to the east there are dwarves and to the west there are elves. There are a whole bunch of other things as well, but you haven't explored much outside the swamp.

You explore the ruins that dot the swamp looking for materials or ancient technologies.

Select how many warriors are you going to send on this mission.
> Roll 1d100 to determine success of your exploration. Higher is better.

You decide to train troops until you have 100 warriors. Your tribe, however, cannot feed that many warriors. You could maybe train 10 or 20 more warriors (receiving a corresponding penalty to your food status).
> Train 10 warriors (-1 food)
> Train 20 warriors (-2 food)

You decide to research Spear Throwers.
> Roll 1d100 to determnine success of your research. Dificulty 30, Time 50.

(Research can take more than one turn. You roll 1d100 against the dificulty, if you roll above you add it to Time. Once time is higher than the value of the research, it is finished.)

A group of nomads arrive at the swamp. They are overfishing the fisheries and overhunting the game - they will be gone when the food dwindles. But you will stay and face the consequences! The warriors say we must do something about it.

you can roll more of the same dice like

but you can't mix dice

you can also add a value like
dice+1d100+20

I think you can subtract a value as well but I don't remember exactly how to do it, if you put +-20 or -+20, something like this, probably the first one

Searching the area around the swamp your people find a cave complex that seems to stretch for many miles underground. You haven't been able to explore it much, for it is dark inside. There are bats and big spiders in there, as well as lots of mushrooms. You do find a bunch of scrolls tucked into clay vases though. Your people don't know how to read them, but they might contain some useful information.

You recruit 20 Warriors. Your food situation degrades considerably. The people start to resent having such a big army since we aren't even at war. We should acquire more food to appease the people. (-2 food, -1 morale)

You send 20 Warriors in two parties of 10 to explore.

> Roll 2d100 for the success of the exploration. Higher is better.

You have your warriors watch the nomads closely, allowing themselves to be witnessed, but never making contact, to psych them out!

You start your magical research on Blood Mixing! You hope that by mixing the blood of your mages and the local fauna you can create crossbreed violent creatures of limited intellect but well adapted to the swamp that require less food than your traditional warriors!

> Roll 1d100 for the magical research. Difficulty 90. Time 200.

Mining guilds from two different clans are in a feud because the leader of one of them decried the equipment produced by the other as 'worthless trash', and in turn received the accolade that his own stuff is 'good for nothing'. More than a simple rivalry, it has escalated to sabotage and arson!
One of the guilds is from your own clan. He claims the other clan burned his shop down!
The other clan says it was obviously an accident from his sloppy technique, but their tools appearing broken three times already was an obvious sabotage.

yes, you can add as many research paths as you want. each turn that you want to focus on research you can declare which research path you want to pursue that turn and roll a dice for it. later on you may unlock buildings that automate this process, but right now if you want to research you have to declare and roll a dice every turn.

You sacrifice the worst offenders in a blood ritual to empower our warriors for the upcoming raid! Not everyone is satisfied with the turn into the dark arts that our civilization is taking! (-1 morale)

We do a large scale raid with 34 warriors against the nomads! After suffering some minor losses they hurriedly flee! They leave behind lots of pottery, some pack animals and an assortment of crafted goods, which our warriors claim as loot.

There is some dispute amongst the warriors about a particularly precious loot they found, however. A long and shiny dagger, of very high quality metal, with an ivory hilt.
> Give it to the warrior who killed the most
> Give it to the leader of the warriors
> Confiscate the blade

The explorers return!

One group found a walled human city in the east. The people there call the please Zencity. Their leader is a monk called Motaro. The city is build around a monastery and the people there are very pious. They are willing to buy metals, salt and dry salted fish, and are willing to sell leather, hard cheese and flour.

The other group found a cave with a lone hermit in there. He said caves all over the place have draconic runes. Seems like it was a very popular language in the past, but very few people know it now. Asked if he could teach us draconic runes, he said he could take a single apprentice, but he is too used to living in that cave to leave so the person will have to come live with him.

The Ironroot clan is getting very displeased with your rule. Whispers arrive into your ears that there is a conspiracy against your life!

You present the newly acquired blade to the leader of the warriors. The blade is carefully handed over in a ceremony, and the leader acknowledges the gesture with a nod of appreciation. This simple gesture eases the worries of the warriors and symbolizes your fairness towards them. (+1 morale)

With the decision to marry someone from the Ironroot clan, you engage in negotiations and discussions with their leaders. After careful consideration, you find three candidates which might be suitable matches.

First is Amelia Ironroot, the youngest daughter of the Ironroot clan leader. A fairly attractive young lady, it was your first choice due to her position and beauty. The only unmarried daughter of the leader, she is currently underage, so the marriage would need to be postponed a few years.
Second is Adria Deepa, the only daughter of the Ironroot shaman. She is one year older than you, comes from a long line of shamans and has been as well educated as any shaman, but cannot take up the robes as the tribe does not accept women into this role.
Third is Dora Vinci, the daughter of the leader of the Ironroot's warriors. She is a strong and well endowed lady and women in her family tend to have many strong sons and daughters.

Which one you choose?
> Amelia Ironroot
> Adria Deepa
> Dora Vinci

With the nomads no longer a threat, you decide to focus on enhancing the prosperity of your tribe. Recognizing the importance of food sources, you increase fishing and hunting activities in the swamp. This strategic decision results in a notable increase in food production (+1 food), providing sustenance and stability to your growing population.

Acknowledging the significance of knowledge and wisdom, you select a promising youth to be mentored under the guidance of the experienced rune master. This mentorship aims to pass down the ancient runic knowledge, and mystical insights of the old hermit. The young apprentice eagerly embarks on this journey of learning, ready to absorb the rune master's teachings.

In an experimental attempt to improve swamp apple yields, you decide to invest a part of your lifeforce into the soil. This mystical act involves a connection with the land, channeling your life energy into the swamp apple orchards. You call this spell Blood Orchard, as you are feeding the orchard with blood for it to grow faster. It is a work in progress.

You plant some orchards and expand your fisheries. The orchards will take a few years to grow, but the fisheries get finished quickly. The real issue is what to feed the fish with so they grow in large numbers. You don't actually have a particularly easy source of food for them. You feed them earthworms and leeches, which are abundant in the swamp, and since they make good bait they probably make good fish food as well, though this is a bit labor intensive. (+1 food)

A group of 35 soldiers is dispatched on a stealthy scouting mission deep into the swamp, aiming to locate and confront the demon worshippers threatening the region. The warriors find some leads, circles draw in blood in the forest, weird markings on tree, and are able to determine the general region where the demon worshippers seem to operate. They are, however, unable to locate them.

The decision to strengthen the alliance with the Ironroot clan takes a joyous turn as you marry Dora Vinci, the daughter of the Ironroot's warrior leader. The union strengthens the bonds between the tribes and is celebrated with enthusiasm. (+3 morale)

Despite persistent efforts, your research on the mystical blood orchard yields limited success. The Blood Orchard's secrets remain elusive, posing a continued challenge to your understanding.

An attempt to ambush slavers under the guise of trade takes an unexpected turn. The slavers establish a fortified camp outside the swamp, near a forested area. Their numbers and defenses are greater than anticipated.

The returning scout provides crucial intelligence about the slavers' camp, revealing their significant warrior presence and formidable fortifications.

Faced with the growing threat posed by the slavers, you contemplate rallying the militia for a larger-scale operation. Although the militia is traditionally for defensive purposes, the imminent danger can be framed as a threat to the entire community, justifying a more offensive stance.

With the support of the militia, the tribe could potentially tip the scales in their favor. The call to arms would becomes a rallying cry for freedom and survival, setting the stage for a decisive confrontation with the slavers.

Choosing to prioritize immediate threats, the search for the demon worshippers is halted. The safety and stability of the tribe take precedence over potential external dangers.

Recognizing the need to strengthen the tribe's defenses, the decision is made to train more warriors. However, dead warriors still incur a food cost due to their families. The dilemma arises: train 10 warriors (-1 food), train 20 warriors (-2 food), or abandon the families of fallen heroes, replacing them at no food cost?
> Train 10 warriors (-1 food)
> Train 20 warriors (-2 food)

Perceiving the emotional toll on the young girl whose father was so gruesomely sacrificed, you decide to entrust Marika to the care of the shamans. The shamans, skilled in matters of the spirit and the mystical, take Marika under their wing to offer solace and guidance.

Despite setbacks, the research into spear throwers continues, progressing along the chosen path. The tribe remains committed to innovation and military advancement.

An attempt to negotiate with the slavers for horses and slaves goes awry. The slavers detect the planned ambush and express frustration at what they perceive as dishonorable behavior. They decide to leave, vowing to acquire slaves from the swamp without conducting further business with the tribe.

Emissaries from smaller swamp clans arrive, pleading for assistance against slavers raiding and kidnapping their people. Urgency grips the tribe as it faces a crucial decision:

Some argue for forming a coalition with the smaller tribes, despite their limited warriors.
Others see an opportunity for the smaller clans to merge with the tribe, enhancing overall protection and population.

> Attack the slavers directly.
> Mobilize the militia for a stronger assault.
> Propose a coalition with the smaller tribes against the slavers.
> Suggest the smaller clans merge with the tribe for collective defense.
> Dismiss the matter as none of the tribe's business.

You mobilize your army to go kill the slavers! The slavers have their own army and clash ensues!
Select your tactic and roll 3d100 to determine success. Whoever gets more successes wins.

You bring around 700 militia men and 50 warriors to attack the slavers.

Attacker options:
> Plunder (DC 40)
> Burn their base (DC 50)
> Destroy fortifications (DC 60)
> Kill as many as possible (DC 70)
> Take captives (DC 80)
> Seize their land (DC 90)

You greatly outnumber the slavers, so the final DC will be 10 points lower.

~

The slavers have around 100 soldiers and roughly 200 militia to defend themselves.

Defender options:
> Survive (DC 40)
> Drive enemy off (DC 50)
> Skirmish (DC 60)
> Kill as many as possible (DC 70)
> Take captives (DC 80)

The slavers will attempt to drive you off. They have a palisade so they get -10 on the DC. (DC 40)

Roll 3d100 to determine success! If you get more successes than the enemy, you win. On a draw, you are driven away.

(Winning doesn't necessarily mean you kill them all, only that you achieve some tactical objective.)

Recognizing the need to fortify the tribe's defenses, the training of an additional 20 warriors is initiated, preparing the tribe for potential threats. (-2 food)

To address the growing challenges in the swamp, you suggest that smaller clans — Bogtide, Shadowfen, Serpentcoil, Marshlight, Frogspawn, and Sunkenheart — consider merging with the tribe for collective defense. Their combined population reaches around 1200 individuals.

Negotiations intensify as the smaller clans, eager for representation, demand three seats each on the council, mirroring the current clans' arrangement. However, the existing clans argue that these smaller factions should only be granted one seat each.
> Give them three seats each at the council
> Give them two seats each at the council
> Give them one seat each at the council

Amidst the negotiations and shifting alliances, you welcome the arrival of a new member to the tribe, your son, named Drakothraen.

Additionally, the culmination of dedicated research results in a breakthrough — spearthrowers. The completion of this research allows the tribe to equip its hunters and warriors with spear throwers, enhancing their capabilities in ranged combat. The Mistwood swamp is poised for change as strategic decisions and advancements shape the future of the tribe.

The hunters report sighting a creature they call Lightgator! It is a massive, mutated alligator with patches of shiny fungi growing on their scales. Their eyes glow with an otherworldly intensity. It is spreading this shiny fungi everywhere it goes, the hunters grab some of it, but it seems to die a few days after being harvested.

Despite determined efforts, the capture of the elusive Lightgator proves to be a challenging task, slipping away into the depths of the swamp with its shiny fungi remaining untapped.

Negotiations with the smaller clans hit a roadblock, with no consensus reached on the number of seats they should have on the council. Tensions linger as the fate of potential alliances hangs in the balance.

Responding to the need for enhanced weaponry, crafters diligently manufacture spear throwers, providing each soldier with them and three javelins. The warriors are now equipped to engage foes from a distance before closing in for close combat.

In a bold move, the tribe launches a successful attack on the slavers, managing to destroy their palisade. However, victory comes at a cost, with the tribe losing four warriors and approximately 20 militia men. The slavers, on the other hand, suffer a significant blow, losing ten warriors and around 30 militia men.

Looking to fortify the tribe further, you initiate research on heavy armor, starting with the development of Ring Mail.

As the tribe deals with both challenges and victories, scouts report that the defeated slavers, battered and broken, retreated northward, leaving the vicinity of the Mistwood swamp in the wake of their defeat.

Some rare swampflowers blossom all over the swamp. The shamans experiment with them a little and determine they possess medicinal qualities. Harvesting and preparing them for long term storage is a very time consuming process though.

and question we had them sieged why were they allowed to leave? Kind of defeats the whole point of destroying their fortifications.

The whole goal was to destroy their fortifications so then we could launch endless attacks and they wouldn't be able to do anything. We out range them with spear throwers. So they'd have to Sally out from their base to attack us. And then we could run away. Then we throw more spears. They either have to keep chasing us or fuck off back to base. And if they start packing up to leave we come in rain spears on them. If they did manage to pack up and try to leave. We'd continue to yeet spears into them until we can just charge and kill the few rest of them that are alive.

Very confused on why they were just allowed to leave.... I thought we had more rounds of combat for sure.

You send emissaries to the smaller clans offering them two seats at the council if they agree to merge with your tribe. This compromise solution doesn't make anyone happy, but the smaller clans feel inclined to agree. However, each of them makes a demand of you before they join your tribe:

The Bogtide Clan requests exclusive access to a specific area of the swamp where they traditionally harvest rare herbs. They seek assurance that their herbalist practices won't be disrupted.

The Shadowfen Clan insists on having the leadership of the tribe's scouting team. They argue that their expertise in stealth and reconnaissance would significantly benefit the tribe's security.

The Serpentcoil Tribe asks for the construction of a communal sanctuary dedicated to the swamp's serpentine inhabitants. They believe that honoring the snakes will bring good fortune and protection.

The Marshlight Seekers request the construction of elevated platforms or watchtowers strategically placed throughout the swamp. They believe that having vantage points will enhance their ability to observe and anticipate potential threats, ensuring the tribe's safety.

The Frogspawn Clan desires the establishment of a designated breeding ground for the revered swamp frogs. They believe that a thriving population of frogs will bring prosperity and luck to the tribe.

The Sunkenheart Tribe requests exclusive rights to the treasures discovered during underwater explorations. They propose that any valuable artifacts, resources, or ancient relics uncovered beneath the waters be considered the exclusive property of the Sunkenheart Tribe, contributing to their prosperity and prestige within the tribe.

The pursuit of knowledge continues as the research on heavy armor advances, promising enhanced protection for the tribe's warriors in the challenging swamp environment.

Celebrations resonate as a new life enters the tribe. Your son, Tyrone, becomes a symbol of hope.

The shamans embark on a task to gather rare flowers before the fleeting blossom season concludes. Despite the challenges of the swamp, a small but valuable collection is amassed, hinting at potential mystical applications.

A somber directive follows as you order the gathering of the deceased, intending to feed their remains to the fish. However, this unconventional practice clashes with cultural traditions, leading to a dip in morale among the people who prefer elaborate burial rituals to honor the departed. (-1 morale)

In a bid to secure sustenance, you command the expansion of fisheries. Even the children contribute, busily participating in the daily activities involved in fish farming. However, doubts linger about the possibility of further expanding the fisheries in the swamp environment. The endeavor results in a modest increase in food resources, offering a glimmer of stability.

Amidst the challenges, the orchards begin bearing fruit, providing a welcome boon to the tribe's food situation. This fruitful development serves as a testament to the resilience our tribe inhabitants. (+1 food)

Da fuck how do they have better mobility? They have a bunch of wagons and shit....

Why didn't we get a tactics bonus? We aren't trying to fight them head on and we out range them massively. We don't get any bonus for the spear throwers?

So we won the fight then they just get to freely leave. And the militia doesn't get to help.... like seriously? Seems dumb asf there was no point in destroying their fortifications. Like you cucked us for no reason.

the slavers are veteran warriors used to fighting on the move and have a large amount of cavalry

it is not the first time they are harassed along the way, in fact they frequently get more slaves this way

Do you not understand guerrilla tactics?
Do you not realize that we can now yeet spears over 300 feet?

That we could just kill their horse riders before they even get close...

Oh so now they're "veterans". Wow...

They were just regular soldiers before.

So no ranged weapons bonus, no tactics bonus. They just got to freely walk away and destroying fortifications didn't do shit. Their wagons are as fast as horses and aren't slow asf. We can't harry them with guerrilla tactics forcing them to send out Sally's then hit them when their soldiers are busy trying to chase our soldiers as we send them on a wild goose chase....

the militia is defensive in nature, even if you could convince them to help you lack the logistics to send all the men in town in a long distance military campaign

if you want to use the militia offensively regularly, suggest a cultural change first and make sure your food situation is good because you might get some food penalties for getting the men away from their food acquisition duties

you could even get the women as well to join the militia through a cultural change if you're so inclined

>>5901287

I don't see what all the fuss is about, I already said that the combat is abstracted

winning the roll to destroy fortification doesn't mean that you surrounded them and destroyed every single inch of their palisade, only that you made it no longer useful for the purpose of defense

you might have breached, dug under it, rammed it, it doesn't matter - the palisade is no longer an obstacle

after the combat the militia returned home because they didn't have the logistics to siege a place

you may ask why they 'just decided that it was enough', but the thing is when you are fighting with melee weapons there is a build up of fatigue and after awhile you just can't fight anymore, you either retreat or die

so when the troops become too tired to fight their commanders order a retreat - and even if they don't order a retreat morale breaks and the troops retreat anyway

a tactical objective was achieved - the palisade was destroyed

but a protracted siege was not possible

really, I don't see what the big deal is.

but if you don't wanna play the quest anymore, it is okay, have fun playing the other one

The slavers, overconfident in their attempts to capture the tribe's members, find themselves outmaneuvered in a protracted engagement. Through strategic hit-and-run tactics, the warriors manages to inflict substantial losses on the slavers — 26 warriors and 40 militia. Despite a valiant effort, the encounter takes a toll, with the tribe losing 15 of its own warriors.

During a daring confrontation, the tribe seizes an opportunity to recover several slaves, liberating them from the clutches of the slavers. However, the emergence of large orcish patrols along the slavers' path forces the tribe to disengage. The slavers find protection with the orcs upon reaching their destination, and the threat of a larger conflict looms.

Among the recovered slaves, a mix of locals and individuals from distant lands, a poignant reality emerges—some captured kin from the region remain unrecovered. The tribe's success in liberating some is bittersweet.

In a strategic move, the demands of the smaller clans are met, and they unite under the tribe's banner, contributing over 1200 people and 22 warriors. The Mistwood community expands, embracing the diversity and strengths of the newly integrated clans.

Cultural shifts ripple through Mistwood as the ceremonial burial of the dead becomes largely symbolic, with bodies now consigned to the depths to feed the fishes. This pragmatic approach sparks both acceptance and apprehension among the tribe's members.

With the council's consensus acknowledging the potential displeasure of the orcs for interfering with their slaver allies, a crucial decision must be made to navigate the looming conflict:

> Scout the north, seeking orcish settlements
> Prioritize more pressing matters and postpone the confrontation with the orcs
> Launch a diplomatic initiative to search for potential allies against the orcs

You consult the clans on what to do about the orcs and slavers:

Mistwalker Clan emphasizes diplomacy and suggests opening communications with the orcs to understand their motivations. They advocate for avoiding direct confrontation and finding common ground for coexistence.

Ironroot Clan leans towards a defensive stance, urging the tribe to strengthen its defenses and fortify key positions. They propose a cautious approach, preparing for potential conflicts while avoiding unnecessary provocations.

Stormwatch Clan favors a proactive approach, advocating for preemptive strikes against the orcs to cripple their forces. They emphasize the importance of removing the orc threat before it escalates.

Mossfoot Clan values subtlety and suggests forming covert alliances with other factions in the region. They propose gathering intelligence on the orcs and slavers, using strategic information to influence events.

Bogtide Clan advocates for diplomacy with both orcs and slavers, seeking to establish trade relations and alliances. They believe that peaceful cooperation can be more beneficial than engaging in open conflict.

Shadowfen Clan, known for their stealth and reconnaissance skills, suggests sending scouts to gather information on the orcs and slavers. They emphasize the importance of knowing the enemy's movements before making decisions.

Serpentcoil Clan proposes using guerilla tactics against both orcs and slavers. They believe in exploiting the swamp's terrain to their advantage, striking swiftly and retreating into the marshes.

Marshlight Seekers encourage a diplomatic mission to the orcs, aiming to negotiate a non-aggression pact. They also recommend leveraging the swamp's difficult terrain elements to discourage the slavers from encroaching further.

Frogspawn Clan advocates for a defensive alliance with neighboring tribes against the orcs. They stress the importance of unity in the face of external threats, believing that a collective front can deter aggression.

Sunkenheart Clan suggests harnessing the swamp's natural hazards to repel both orcs and slavers. They propose setting up traps and pitfalls within the marsh, making it a hostile environment for invaders.

> Fortify our position with a palisade

The tribe commits to the advancement of knowledge on two crucial fronts. Masonry research progresses timidly and simultaneously, the tribe delves into the arcane mysteries surrounding the blood orchard, unraveling its enigmatic properties for potential applications that could benefit the community.

Recognizing the need for specialized skills in the swamp's unpredictable terrain, the tribe initiates comprehensive combat training. Warriors, accustomed to the intricacies of the swamp, focus on refining their abilities to navigate and fight effectively, ensuring they are prepared for any potential conflicts that may arise. They practice their spearthrow and their accuracy becomes better.

In the pursuit of alliances beyond Mistwood's borders, emissaries from clans Frogspawn and Mossfoot embark on diplomatic missions. Clan Frogspawn establishes contact with the Shizikata, a reptilian tribe led by the aging lizardman Zukuo. As discussions unfold, Zukuo voices concerns about attracting unwanted attention to the swamp and proposes a test to prove the tribe's worthiness for potential defense. "The Serpent's Maw," a notorious and treacherous region of the swamp, is known for its myriad dangers, from monstrous creatures to cunning adversaries. They demand the head of a snakeman, their age-old enemies who allegedly reside deep within the heart of this hazardous territory. Cautionary advice accompanies the challenge: attempting to conquer this region with a large army is tantamount to walking into an ambush. The swamp's intricate landscape, filled with hidden perils, makes a smaller, more cunning group of warriors the tribe's only viable chance of success.

> It is not worth the hassle
> Send five of our best warriors
> Send our whole army there

If you choose to send troops there, roll 3d100 for success.

Simultaneously, Clan Mossfoot reaches out to a neighboring tribe of elves dwelling in the forest bordering the swamp. Led by the captivating Lady Ilyana, the elves express willingness to offer protection in exchange for the freedom to gather rare herbs within Mistwood. However, this proposition sparks tension, particularly from the Bogtide Clan, who feel betrayed as they were promised exclusivity in herb gathering. The debate among the clans intensifies, with some seeing the potential benefits of gaining a powerful ally while others remain staunchly protective of promised agreements.

> It is not worth the hassle

You name your daughter Amarantha, after the Amaranth flower, the most beautiful flower you know.

The mission to The Serpent's Maw, undertaken by five of your best warriors, unfolds with perilous trials. Only two warriors return, their bodies bearing the scars of a hazardous journey. Despite the loss, they successfully present the head of the snakeman to Zukuo, the leader of the Shizikata. The warriors recount the dangers lurking within The Serpent's Maw — deadly traps, venomous creatures, and the formidable snakeman guarding a mysterious cave entrance. The act earns our tribe the acknowledgment of worthiness, and Zukuo pledges the support of the Shizikata in defending the swamp against external threats.

Negotiations with the Bogtide clan progress. Simultaneously, diplomatic efforts with the elves encounter a nuanced proposition. The elves, led by the captivating Lady Ilyana, suggest an annual tribute of rare herbs in exchange for their protection.

The decision to involve the clan Bogtide in the negotiation process triggers discontent within their ranks. They express their dissatisfaction with your perceived indecisiveness and argue that if you are incapable of firm leadership, perhaps they should take charge. Despite their discontent, the clan ultimately agrees to the terms, albeit after a lengthy speech rallying support and understanding from the tribe. The morale of the tribe takes a hit. (morale -1, food -1)

Subsequently, proposing that the Serpentcoil clan contributes to the Masonry research before the construction of their temple results in heightened tensions. The Serpentcoil clan vehemently objects, asserting that the duration of such research endeavors is unpredictable. They demand clarity on the expected effort required for the research:

> Take charge of the research (automatically roll the dice every turn)
> Dedicate all your sages to this research (+10 bonus for this research, -10 penalty for all other researches)
> Dedicate your whole clan to this research (roll the dice twice every turn and pick the best result, -1 food)

Simultaneously, the returned warriors are enlisted to train their fellow soldiers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement in combat skills. The soldiers under training should steadily become better at combat.

The research on the blood orchard progresses steadily.

Delivering the first tribute of herbs to the elves takes an unexpected turn. Some of the emissaries succumb to the enchanting allure of the elves, becoming captivated by their beauty to the point of forsaking their return to human lands. These individuals are now referred to as the "Enraptured" or simply "Beauty Thralls," signifying their allegiance to the elves.

You finish the Blood Orchard spell research! Through magic you can now feed a plant blood and make it grow unnaturally fast. It is useful to grow an orchard (almost) overnight, provided you have enough blood to spare. You can also make a fruit tree produce fruit by feeding it blood. It may have other applications as well. It does take an awful lot of blood to grow a tree overnight though - the more unnatural the effect desired, the more blood it requires.

The Marshlight Seekers demand we build the watchtowers we promised that we would build.

The construction of watchtowers across the swamp brings a new level of awareness to Mistwood. Marshlight Seekers strategically position these towers in key locations, providing enhanced visibility over large areas. As a result, the watchmen observe significant activity in the swamp, discovering the hunting and foraging behaviors of lizardmen and snakemen. Additionally, unidentified humans are spotted traversing narrow trails and navigating the flooded areas with carts and boats laden with goods. This revelation unveils a previously unknown level of activity within Mistwood's borders.

Capitalizing on the newfound technology, hunters armed with spear throwers target small crocodiles during their sunbathing moments. The strategic approach allows for successful hunting without much risk for the hunters, who gang up on their targets them bring it back town for butchering and cooking, contributing to a boost in the tribe's food reserves. The crocodiles don't have all that much meat, however, so if we continue with this practice we will overhunt them very quickly.
> Keep hunting the crocodiles, doesn't matter if we overhunt them (+1 food)
> Stop overhunting the crocodiles, we might need them for something later

In a surprising turn of events, the nomads, led by a formidable figure named Frob, make a return. Seeking permission to establish a temporary trading post at the edge of the swamp, they present goods from distant lands, including jewelry, beads, and gems. Their primary goal is to stock up on preserved food for their journey westward.

> Don't allow the nomads to set up their trading post:

Deciding to preserve the crocodile population, you recognize their potential value for future use.

Permission granted, the nomads establish their trading post, creating a marketplace where people exchange food for a variety of adornments. The nomads also entertain the locals with song and dance, albeit at a steep fee for admission. Reports reveal a bustling atmosphere of booze, dice gambling, and even prostitution within their trading post, showcasing their unique approach to sustaining themselves in Mistwood. Frob assures that the majority of their group will depart soon, leaving behind the structure as a caravan inn for passing travelers, aptly named "The Temporary Inn."

Utilizing your Blood Orchard magic, you expand the swamp's orchards at an impressive speed, impressing the inhabitants with the flourishing growth irrigated with blood. The expanded orchards now cover vast swaths of land, contributing to increased food production (+1 food).

In search of additional food sources, you discover Bittersweet Sugarcane growing abundantly on a large island within the swamp. Cultivating this unique sugarcane becomes a new labor-intensive but energy-rich addition to the settlement's diet (+1 food).

Initiating research on Blood Diet, your goal is to create a perpetual pot of blood stew in the village center, blessing it periodically to make it edible.

You ignore Emily's request of mentorship. She marries Eldrim Willowbark and together they depart with the nomads. She vouches to return one day when she is powerful.

You consider sending 25 regular warriors to search for rare herbs. You don't actually have 25 regular warriors though. Clan Bogtide says they know all about the herbs in the region and ask what are you looking for.
> You're looking for healing herbs
> You're looking for poisons
> You're looking for herbs with mystical properties

You consider building a town hall where the leaders and council will meet. There is already a town hall, so perhaps you want to upgrade it.
> Build a larger townhall to fit more people
> Build a more robust town hall that can double as a last resort fortification
> The town hall is good the way it is

You seeks to apply the Blood Orchard spell to the sugar cane. It does take an awful lot of blood however, and to expand the Bittersweet Sugarcane plantation seems to demand particularly huge amounts. You only get so much blood from hunting, where will you get the extra blood?

> Hunt more swamp animals, we need more blood
> Have the people start doing blood lettings
> It is not particularly urgent, leave it for later

You want to normalize the use of magic. However, you are the only spellcaster of the tribe. As the leader, you have the freedom to pursue your magic. Changing the people's perception of magic will depend on how you use your magic. Right now, people consider magic as dangerous and are suspicious of it. How do you intend to change that perception?

> Invite people for public demonstrations of you using spells
> Do speeches praising the use of magic as a way to advance our tribe
> The common man needs not to be privy of your magical secrets

You continue your research of Blood Diet, but don't advance much.

Caravans of elves and men stop by at "The Temporary Inn". Most people that come to these parts prefer to avoid entering the swamp and having an inn on the edge of the swamp where they can get some food and rest before they continue their journey is a welcoming respite. Some adventurers show up thre as well, and the tales from a particularly skilled bard leave the patrols entertained and inspired. Some of the locals who have been there express a desire to learn more about the world beyond the Mistwood swamp.

You inform the Bogtide clan that you are looking for herbs with mystical properties. The shamans know several such herbs. They bring some samples for you to check and ask what kind of herb are you interested in.

Chot: a plant whose nuts and flowers are mildly hallucinogen. The flowers only bloom on spring. The flowers can be smoked and give a powerful high where the person becomes more insightful for several minutes, but followed by a state of disorientation that can last for hours. It is highly addictive so it is unwise to consume it repeatedly.

Silverblossom: silverhued flowers that bloom only under the light of the full moon. The petals can be harvested and made into a tea that grants heightened intuition and vivid dreams. Consuming the tea during a full moon is said to allow brief glimpses into the future. Repeated use of this herb drives people gradually insane, they start believing whatever random thought pops in their minds is intuition or prophecy.

Wispvine: a blueglowing vine that can be finding growing randomly on tree tops. Birds like to eat it, it is full of tiny seeds, and when the bird poops on trees another vine grows there. Chewing wispvine enhances visibility in low-light conditions. Consuming too much of it leaves you with light sensitivity.

Thunderleaf: these trees are found abnormally often struck by lightning. The leaf is said to attract lightning. When dried and ground into a powder, a bunch of this stuff can be left somewhere during a storm to attract a bolt of lightning.

Shadowroot: these roots are favored by the shadowfen clan. When rubbed on your skin, makes it so dark it absorbs light, making you blend in with the shadows. The root is mildly toxic however, and repeated use can lead to acute poisoning.

Baneberries: these roots when crushed release a toxin that induces a temporary state of enhanced strength and resilience. Repeated or prolonged use leads to addiction and physical deterioration.

The shamans are puzzled by your sudden interest in the local plants. There are many other plants that the shamans know, but they are either too rare and they couldn't find a sample to bring to you or their properties aren't fully understood so they are deemed more dangerous than it is worthy to use. They harvest these and other herbs every year and give most of it to the elves. The elves probably have a better knowledge of Herbalism than we do.

The reconstruction of the town hall progresses swiftly, transforming it into a fortified structure designed to serve as a last resort stronghold in times of need. Sturdy materials are utilized, and defensive measures are incorporated to ensure the safety and protection of the community.

Encouraged by the mystical properties of blood, the practice of blood lettings becomes a regular occurrence. Ritualistic ceremonies are established, involving precise cutting to collect blood for various purposes. The significance of these rituals extends beyond practical uses, with spiritual and cultural elements woven into the practice.

Public demonstrations showcasing your proficiency in magical arts are organized, drawing the attention of the community. These events serve not only as a display of leadership but also contribute to fostering a sense of awe and respect among the people. The demonstrations are carefully curated to highlight the potential benefits of embracing and harnessing mystical powers for the prosperity of the tribe.

The research on blood diet advances steadily.

People have always hunted small woodland creatures when they are hungry - mostly rats, bats, moles, frogs and snakes. Besides intensifying the hunt for these critters, you send your hunters looking for bigger game! They delve deep into the swamp and find that there are large amounts of Swamp Hogs living deep within the swamp - wild boars adapted to living in the swamp. Hunting them is not easy, as they run away like crazy at the slightest sign of danger, but with enough patience and cunning our hunters start bringing the bacon home. (+1 food)

You send 10 warriors to start scouting the outskirts of the swamp. They find four humans dragging a cart full of goods. When they approach the humans, they tell them to mind their own business. The guards get upset at the disrespect and decide to confiscate the goods and imprison the people for questioning. The goods consisted on a several sacks of flour and a really ridiculous amount of candles. The four humans weren't feeling like answering any questions at first but after roughing them up a little they coughed up that they were doing a supply run for the Awakahukan, who pay well above market prices for these common goods. They claim to not be directly affiliated with the cultists.

You send 25 warriors to explore outsie the swamp. They travel south and find a walled city! They talk to the people there. The city is called Kor, and their leader is a man named Symbalus. Upon being inquired how they made their wall they say it is a well guarded secret! They produce Flour, Cloth and Leather. They want to buy Wine, Silver and Dyes. Considering its size, the warriors estimate their city must have at least eight thousand people. They have some horses and their army seems to be slightly bigger than ours. They don't seem very interested in us. Their region doesn't have other large cities, but has lots of smaller tribes of monsters which they can't erradicate. Their walls have offered them good protection against these attackers, reducing the near constant casualties.

On the way back your warriors are harassed by a couple goblins mounted on wolves. They kill one of them with their spear throw but the other escapes. Our patrols start sighting goblins around the swamp more and more often. They are probing the region, looking for weakness. Looking for us.

Seeking to expand your knowledge, you approach the elves and request to learn herbalism from them. They express the vastness of their herbalistic wisdom but offer to take a few young humans as apprentices to become healers. The catch: the basic training will span thirty years.

> We don't trust the elves to raise our youth
> Send some children to learn herbalism with the elves
> Thirty years? That's absurd, make it ten years, humans learn fast

Having secured the "magic wands" from the goblin, you decide to put them to the test.
Rolling to Determine Wand Properties:
1 - Amidst the useless wands, one was actually magical.
2 - Amidst the useless wands, one was cursed.
3 - The wands were all useless.

Now, onto the attempt to domesticate the Swamp Hogs. Building enclosures and baiting them with food, you aim to capture some alive.

> Roll 1d100 to trap some swamp hogs.

As the research on the blood diet persists without much success, the challenge to unlock its secrets continues.

With the scouts successfully discovering the locations of the goblin hideouts nestled in cave complexes by the hillside, you gather valuable intelligence. The landscape is riddled with caves, indicating the presence of multiple small tribes of goblins. Additionally, signs of infighting among the goblin tribes become apparent from the scouts' observations.

With this newfound information, you must decide on a course of action to address the goblin threat.

> Launch coordinated attacks on multiple goblin tribes: Exploit the infighting among the goblin tribes and launch coordinated attacks to weaken their forces.
> Attempt diplomatic overtures with one goblin tribe against the others: Leverage the internal strife to form an alliance with one goblin tribe, turning them against their rivals.
> Focus on strengthening defenses and fortifications: Instead of immediate aggression, bolster your defenses and fortifications to prepare for potential goblin attacks while monitoring their internal conflicts.

Several youngsters from the tribe are chosen to embark on a journey to learn the art of herbalism from the elves. This exchange of knowledge is intended to deepen the understanding of mystical herbs and plants, fostering a bond between the tribe and the elusive forest dwellers.

The goblins prove to be a big nuisance. They are weaker than your warriors, but they are cunning and attacking them in their home caves proves suicidal. The goblins launch a series of raids against our settlement. Our army manages to repel them, but they are persistent. Small encampments and patrols of goblins can be found in the swamp and our men are constantly having to assert dominance against small bands of goblins testing our defenses.
Even though you killed dozens of the little creatures, you lose 23 soldiers in your skirmishes with the goblins. One of your soldiers brings back a captured goblin shaman who is capable of actual magic.

"Let me go, you don't know what you're doing, the curses of Muv will be upon you."

"Who the fuck is Muv?"

"Muv is the goblin god of blood! Release me at once or you will be cursed until the tenth generation!"

He presents his captured goblin to you.

> Free the goblin shaman
> Kill the goblin shaman
> Negotiate with the goblin shaman

In an effort to bolster the tribe's defense and offensive capabilities, you invest resources in training an additional 12 warriors. This initiative aims to enhance the tribe's martial prowess, providing a more formidable force for both protection and expansion. However, the training comes at the cost of increased food consumption. (-1 food)

You persist on the blood diet research.

As Drakothraen, your first son, reaches adulthood, concerns arise about his suitability for leadership. Raised without facing the challenges of self-sustenance, he may lack the necessary skills and mindset to be an effective administrator for a tribe as sizable as yours.

Drakothraen, cognizant of the murmurs questioning his leadership capabilities, approaches you with a request. He asks for the responsibility of leading a clan now that he has reached adulthood, expressing a desire to undergo training and develop the skills needed to become a competent leader in preparation for the time when he must assume a more significant role within the tribe.

I say turn our gaze towards a resource that has long been overlooked, yet abounds in our lands—the mysterious swamp gas.
Imagine, our village alight with lanterns fueled by this very gas. Darkness would no longer cloak our evenings in stillness, but instead, our nights would be alive with the glow of progress and safety.
As our understanding deepens and our mastery over this resource grows, we can dare to dream higher. I envision a day when our tribe will not just walk on earth but soar in the skies. Hot air balloons, lifted by the very essence of the swamp, could carry our scouts to the heavens, offering views of distant lands. And what a handy method of assaulting a foe who hides behind walls.

You allow the goblin shaman to proselytize his religion amongst your population. The people, already used to doing blood lettings, assimilate the rites of the Blood God Muv with ease. The goblin start teaching the mysteries of Muv to a core of initiates that display keen interest on the subject.

You put clan Marshlight to research the swamp gas under Drakothraen. They complain that they have autonomy to choose their own leaders. However, they are inclined to accept the proposal if Drakothraen marries the daughter of the Marshlight clan's chief, Midori Marshlight. She is a young lady with a very strong personality, and some say she likes her girl friends a bit too much.
> Have Drakothraen marry Midori (+1 morale)
> Reconsider giving leadership of clan Marshlight to Drakothraen
> Pressure them to accept him as leader without the marriage (-1 morale)

Your second son, Tyrone, comes of age. He is deemed as a great administrator, succeeding in everything Drakothraen has showed to be a failure. Ambition has pushed him to excel at everything, and he asks of you only an opportunity to prove himself worthy.

> Grant Tyrone a clan of his own (choose clan)
> He is not the heir apparent, no clan for him

The fight with the goblins is a total disaster, they steal everything that is not bolted on the ground. After we do an inventory of goods, we notice our Ancient Scrolls are gone!
At least we had very few losses of life, the goblins weren't interested in killing us this time, just in taking our stuff.

You send your warriors looking for potential allies. To the east you find a clan of dwarves called Mightyhammer. Their leader is a dwarf called Tor. He welcomes us as friends and trade partners. Their tribe sells Silver, Gold and Gems, and buys Wine, Salt and Preserved Food.

A tree from the Blood Orchard is displaying aberrant behavior. It seems to leech energy from other trees and even from nearby people. Peasants tasked with tending to the orchard say they experience dizziness if they stay too long near that weird tree. It also has grown taller and larger than all other trees in the orchard. Some people swear they can hear whispers when they are near the 'evil tree'.

> Have Drakothraen marry Midori (+1 morale)
We are already dealing with medium morale and some internal political struggle, i think marrying the boy is our best option, plus he gets to lead a clan and research as much as he wants. He'll probably be happy even if his wife is a lesbian.

> He is not the heir apparent, no clan for him
He is too good to waste in sending him away. But we shouldn't give him a clan so soon either, specially since he is not the heir. We should delegate him with a important tribal task to prove himself. I think resource management would be a good option.

We already came this far with this, let's see how it ends.

I feel our food supplies could be a little better. If we are at a swamp there might be edible mushrooms. And if not, we might discover some other use like an hallucinogen or poison.

Drakothraen marries Midori in a grand ceremony, all the tribe is invited. Gifts are exchanged and everyone is merry! (+1 morale)

We continue our research at Blood Diet and Masonry.

You decide against assigning a clan to Tyrone, nor sending him to accrue fortune as a merchant. Instead, you delegate him with administrative tribal tasks so that he can prove himself managing the resources of the tribe. Tyrone is far from satisfied, but respects your decision.

You decide to try the local mushrooms. A bunch of people die until you determine which ones are edible. The ones you gather at the unexplored cave complex are mostly edible, though they give you a mild high. The rest of the mushrooms in the swamp vary between lethal, hallucinogen, mildly poisonous and safe enough to eat in small amounts. They are so common that it does make for a significant increase in your food supply (+1 food).

Decided to see what this evil tree is capable of, you just feed it extra blood. It keeps growing, until one day it uproots itself and starts piercing people with its branches and sucking their blood dry! What kind of monster we have created?

> Send our army to destroy the Blood Treant (DC 70)
> Send our army to capture the Blood Treant alive (DC 60)
> Send our army to shoo the Blood Treant away from our territory (DC 50)

In any case, roll 3d100 with your choice, you need at least one success, three successes and you do it without troop losses.

A bunch of dark elves come out of the caves when our gatherers are collecting mushrooms. They hit them with some kind of poison and drag them into the depths of the cave system. A couple gatherers manage to run away in panic and tell us what happened.
> Send our army into the tunnels
> Send a diplomatic mission down the tunnels

I am not so sure about what to do with the dark elves, they are clearly hostile so i don't think a diplomatic mission would do much.
we could send our whole army but we don't have information about their numbers or exact location, so even if we sent our whole army it might not be enough.
We could collapse and seal the cave entrance, maybe we could open it again when we are more ready. We still have the goblin assaults and the possible orc+slavers invasion on the horizon.
So for now i'd say
> Have our miners collapse and seal the cave entrance
But if someone has a better idea i am listening.

> Exploration/Diplomacy
I agree that we should trade salt with Tor in exchange for silver, not only for the resource but i belive the Dwarfs may be of help, let's ask them about the dark elves.

You send your army to capture the Blood Treant alive. However, your warriors fail miserable, and the treant kills everyone who enters the orchard. It's a blood bath, and the treant strengths itself drinking the blood of the fallen. You lose the orchard, and people begin question your leadership and the wisdom of using blood magic in the first place. 36 warriors die, and lots of civilians as well. (-2 food, -2 morale)

You have your miners collapse and seal the cave entrance to the dark elves underground domains. You ponder that if you ever need access, you might be able to muster the manpower to dig the cave entrance open again.

You send a shipment of Salt to trade with the dwarves of Mightyhammer. Tor is well pleased to exchange some of our Salt for Silver. Our merchants return and stash that silver, it might come handy to trade it with other creatures.

You catch a malignant disease, and might be dying soon. The shamans have no cure for this disease, but you might look for a court physician in distant lands who can cure you, if you perchance live long enough.

After a long reign, you succumb to an illness and die. Your successor, Drakothraen, assumes the leadership of the tribe.

Long live Drakothraen!

Because there are no longer any loyal spellcaster in the tribe, all the magic research is suspended indefinitely. (the goblin shaman does not collaborate with research)

You summon the militia and attack the blood treant. It is a bloody battle and many people die, but the treant is ultimately defeated. Its remains are burnt and the orchard is recovered. (+1 food)

Your people get a strong distrust of magic and everything magic related due to trauma. (New cultural trait - Magic Distrust)

You consider letting the Muv worshippers build their temple if they help resolve the treant situation. They didn't help at all, and some even argued the treant shouldn't have been killed. Drakothraen decides not to let them build their temple, and outlaws blood lettings, at least in public. People that still worship the Blood God Muv do so discreetly in their own homes, afraid of backlash from the distrustful population.

You consider building a library to speed up research. But your people are illiterate! You once had a young man who learned how to read, but you didn't fund him building a school, so he married a girl who asked your father to teach her magic and was also scorned and the two of them went away travelling the world. You wonder what those two are up to nowadays...

You continue your research on masonry, and you'd continue your research on blood diet, if there was anyone capable of doing it.

Drakothraen current obligations prevent him from overseeing the research on Swamp Gas, so the autoresearch was cancelled.

Lady Ilyana sends an emissary to our lands to offer her condolences for our late leader. The emissary later discuss with Drakothraen in private, trusting the defense pact and the tribute will be maintained during his rule.
> Yes, the defense pact and the tribute will be maintained
> We have no use for this defense pact, we'll pay no more tribute

Tyrone asks of you to be granted the command over clan Stormwatch so he can settle some lands to the East of the swamp and build a trade outpost, to take advantage of the profitable trade routes that go through that region.

Also, i think for our next action we should probably use our silver to pay for a teacher so some of us can learn to write and read. After all, our new leader seems to like science so it seems logical for him. There was this city south called Kor which wanted to buy silver, i am sure they would teach us how to read for it.

Your sister Amarantha comes of age! She's a very competent administrator, much like your brother, but she lacks his ambition. It might be advantageous to marry her to someone who can further your political ambitions. Morale amongst the clans is low, so a tribal marriage with a popular leader might lift people's spirits and better their opinion about your rule. But a better option might appear later, a diplomatic marriage with a foreign leader for instance. You could let her choose who she wants to marry, but she would probably pick some random loser.

A question, so the only passive research we have is masonry because the serpentcoil clan is helping right? Is there any way we can do that with trade, for example once Tyrone construct his trade outpost in the east.

And we only have one action per turn, so if we want to train warriors we need to halt momentarily our trade research right?

I am asking because i got a little late to the quest so i dont fully understand the system yet.

If we are going to train warriors we should get more food too, we have animal pens, but raising swamp hogs is probably not going to be easy, frogs is another alternative, is the Frogspawn clan against raising frogs for eating?

Despite your mistrust of slavers, you choose to allow them safe passage through your territory, pondering that it is better to avoid a confrontation considering your army is not in top condition right now. You make sure to not display said weakness to them though, having your militia be in a readiness state in case they try anything.

The slavers caravan consists of a great number of supply wagons and roughly 200 mounted armed men, supported by a few hundred militia. They don't have many slaves with them right now, and it seems they just wanted to stop by the swamp mostly to stockpile some salt for preserving food for the long journey ahead. Their scouts go all over the place and you suspect they contacted everyone in the region.
They don't bother building a fortification here, so they are really just passing by. They stick around all winter cutting trees to keep warm and boil large amounts of salt water to make salt, but next spring they are gone.

You train 50 warriors! They're rather green, but they will learn with the others over time. (-2 food)

"There are a couple roaming tribes of centaurs that raid us on occasion. We don't really have bad relations with them, but they don't seem to care, they raid everyone, they even raid each other, I think they are too dumb to trade and they would rather just kill and take what they need. Their leaders are centaurs called Mowar and Raidon."

"There is a demon deep in the mountain, it is called Cursus. An ancient sage sealed him there. It was the reason we came to live in this place in the first place, to make sure no fucking cultist will unseal the demon. If the right blood magic ritual is performed there, Cursus will be released upon the world and there is no telling how much havoc it will cause. Now and then Cursus farts or something and a bunch of tiny demons spawn from his underground chamber all the way to the surface and wreak havoc all over the place. I trust you're no demon worshippers, ay mate?"

You send a group of scouts looking for the Awakahukan. They find clues of their whereabouts in the Serpent's Maw region and keep looking. Eventually, they find a trail leading into a cave and explore in there.

A bunch of guys wearing large wooden masks surround our scouts in the dark.

"You are trespassing. Your soul will feed our god."

"Hold on! We are from Sylvanheart! The human town! The many tribes! We came to engage in diplomacy!"

"Diplomacy? What do you want from us?"

"We wanted to get to know you first, and then how we could benefit from our contact."

"There is not much to know. We want to bring our god into this world. We aren't yet strong enough for that. So we hide. So we wait."

"Who is your god?"

"Our god is called a demon by the unenlightened. He has many names, but we prefer to call him Hukan. He is sleeping because the world is in a state of darkness. But one day he will wake up and the world will be bathed in his light. If you want to engage in 'diplomacy' and 'benefit' from the contact with us, you will allow us to preach about Hukan into your tribe. This way your people will be saved when Hukan comes into this world! But we will only preach to the worthy. Hukan does not need half hearted worship."

A wandering alchemist shows up in the nomad's tavern. He has lots of gold and is sending people into the swamp to collect rare herbs for him. Our patrols keep finding random people in the swamp looking for herbs, who all have the same story - they have been offered gold by the alchemist to look for a rare herb.

Tor seems like trustworthy fellow, so it seems fair that we should tell him all of our diplomatic relationships too, about the goblins, our defensive pact with the elfs, the conflict with the slavers, and the problem with the dark elves.
And it seems like most of our interest align, i am a little uncertain because of his hostility with the elves but i belive we can make this work.

I am curious about the relationship between these dudes and the cult of Muv. But allowing them to preach can only bring trouble.

You firm an alliance with the Mightyhammer dwarves and send your troops to go help them with their troll problem.
The dwarves guide you through labyrinthine mines into the heart of their complex. You then find the area taken over by trolls.
The dwarves explain there are four types of trolls: troll whelps, troll warriors, troll slinger and troll brutes.
Troll whelps are their small offspring, they are young and not fully developed, but they are stronger than a man and can already regenerate so they are dangerous.
The troll warriors are tall and sleek, they fight with their razor sharp claws. They are fast and cunning, and running away from them is difficult. Sometimes they use weapons, giving preference to ranged weapons, like javelins, for they trust their claws in close quarters.
The troll slingers learned to use a large sling to throw massive boulders over long distances. Less like a sling and more like a catapult, if their tossed stone hits it is often an instant kill. They are very strong, but perhaps not as strong as the brutes.
The troll brutes are big and tall and carry some heavy implement, usually a club but sometimes a warhammer that doubles as pickaxe, with which to cause massive damage or mine a new tunnel. They aren't very fast and can be outrun easily enough, but bringing one of them down is very difficult.

The tunnels are flooded with hundreds of troll whelps and a few dozen warriors, slingers and brutes.

"We don't know where their nest is", say the dwarves, "but the tunnels are flooded with them. There are more of them than we can handle in a frontal assault. An attrition war with trolls is dumb because they just regenerate. Collapsing the tunnels might delay them a little, but they seem determined. I hope you have a good plan."

The dwarves have 18 hammerheads, 72 axemen and 13 berserkers.

They may summon 500 men of their militia, but they would rather only do it as a last resort.

Their hammerheads are warriors clad head to toe in heavy plate armor, carrying a warhammer into combat.

Their axemen are warriors wearing chainmail and carrying axe and shield.

Their berserkers wear no armor and carry a battleaxe. In combat, they enter into a rage and fight to the death.

You could lure the trolls into a larger chamber. Though you'd lose more ground to the trolls, you would have a place where you could employ a good chunk of your army in the fight instead of only a handful in the tight tunnels.

You could attack the trolls whelps to thin their numbers. If you keep rotating warriors in the frontline tunnels, you may be able to kill lots of troll whelps. However, you need to burn the corpses, otherwise they will just regenerate later.

But if you are going to use fire, you can bring a lot of torches to scare the whelps away and head straight towards the big ones. The disadvantage is you can be easily surrounded if you don't keep someone protecting your exit route at all times.

What will be your strategy?

We have a big army but the quality of our troops suck, if we have a big fight in a larger chamber i am afraid our losses could mount up considerably.
We should trim their numbers as much as we can first, and see what we can do from there.
And we should take and burn their bodies, of course.

I support.

But i don't think researching magic is going to be easy, our tribe is distrustful of magic as of now, and we don't have anyone capable of teaching us. We might be able to ask the elves if they know water or nature magic and can teach us, but we still don't know what they might want in exchange besides herbs.
We did sent some people to learn herbalism from them, but they said it would take like 30 years (and i think they still have 20 years left of training at least)

So i think it might be a better idea to research some kind of poison to use in our weapons, there are many sources we can acquire it from in the swamp, be it herbs, frogs or snakes, and it could work efficiently with our spear/javelin warfare.

We've done a lot of damage and while our army suffered a few losses, the trolls suffered many more losses. Our men gain some experience in tunnel fighting.

The fight, however, is far from over. The trolls started preparing for our offensives and piled up boulders and got their slingers into vantage positions to swing huge rocks at us! They are entrenched and in this next phase of engagement, we may suffer heavy losses if we fail at our offensive!

However, you have also noticed that when you stay too long somewhere, a bunch of weird shadows start getting closer to you. You were never dumb enough to let them get really close, as their visage terrifies you. You can only imagine what they could do to you if they were to catch your mind projection.

> Grant the trolls safe passage to the surface
I think we better finish this as peaceful as possible so we can go back and defend our tribe with as many troops as we can.
This might be a little difficult but let's try to be as diplomatic as possible with the trolls, their situation is understandable and we also had trouble with the dark elves ourselves. We'll have mercy on them and promise safe passage if they are able to maintain peaceful relationship with us.
Explain the situation to the dwarfs, and ask for their help in defending our homeland, they just suffered losses too so i am not expecting them to come in full army but any little help would be beneficial.

> A series of skirmishes, attack and retreat, attempting to thin their numbers
We have mostly ranged troops and fewer numbers, let's use the swamp terrain to our advantage and halt their advance as much as we can.

> Send a caravan to exchange Salt for Flour
Thank Tyrone for it's counsel and begin the exchange.

> Give the artifact to your sages, let them experiment with it
Tell them to be cautious of the shadows, it could prove very useful to check on the orcs supply lines or villages if we learn how to use it properly.

> Build/craft something
Build a school, if we are going to spread literacy we might as well have a place to learn.

I am open to other options though, i thought about building traps or research poison but it might be a little late for that, so i opted for the school, but any ideas are welcome specially if it can help us with our current military predicament.

You decide to grant safe passage for the trolls to the surface. The dwarves are skeptical at first but we convince them to grant the trolls passage.

However, as the trolls are passing through the dwarvish hold, a fight breaks out amongst the trolls themselves, and the brawls quickly gets out of control. The trolls start then fighting the dwarves, the dwarves defend themselves, and then a large chunk of the dwarven hold is lost to the trolls as the dwarves are forced to retreat!

Tor sends us a message to us:
"At this rate we'll be the ones being forced into the surface, friend! We'll need more help here!"

You planned a series of skirmishes against the orcs, but they were prepared for it. Their grunts just shrugged off most of our long range attacks, our javelins getting stuck in their thick pelt armor and causing only minor damage, and their archers returned fire consistently. We had to stay always at the edge of our range to avoid their returning fire, and thus our accuracy suffered. On the plus side, we lose very few men.

We failed to cause the orcs many losses and they built a stronghold on the swamp.

They send an emissary to negotiate the terms of our surrender.

"The mighty Grukan Ironfist demands your immediate surrender. Your lives will be spared and you will be allowed to remain in your lands. You will have to send tribute to the orcs every year and you will disband your army. Failure to comply will lead us to kill all your army and take all those we deem as problematic as slaves to our mines in the north. The others will be subjected to a more hands on slavery here until they are prepared to submit willingly to the clearly superior orcish masterrace."

> Scoff at their ridiculous proposal
> Ask your allies for extra help, the orcs are too strong

The trolls absolutely massacre the dwarves, who are expelled from their tunnels and forced into the surface. Many flee to other dwarvish holds and their ancestor mountain homes.

Tor comes visit us, leading a caravan of settler refugees.

"Regret nothing, friend, you did what you could. Those tunnels are now troll territory, they are someone else's problem. Sadly, I'm no longer in position to honor our alliance, so it is dissolved. I must find a more peaceful land to take my settlers to. I think I will travel south. We may meet again someday, friends! I just hope the trolls don't find the buried demon, it could cause a lot of trouble... Farewell!"

You decide to seek more allies against the orcs, for they are too strong!

Tyrone says we may be able to enlist the help of our new trade partners from Symbalus if they see some advantage in it.

The lizardfolk from Shizikata say we could ask the centaurs to help us fight against the orcs. The centaurs love a good fight, and may come to our aid if we promise them tribute once the war is over.

The elves say the spirits of nature might help us against the orcs if we ask for help humbly, but the faefolk are unpredictable and there is no telling what they might ask in exchange for their help.

You send scouts to assess the overall strength of the orcish army.

The scouts return saying their army is fueled by six settlements who contribute resources and warriors for the fight. The orcs farm Blue Maize and raise Pigs. The settlements and logistic lines are lightly guarded by militia and fortifications the army built along the way. The orcs rotate troops and only deploy about half of their army at any given time. The 200-300 soldiers we have seen trying to take over our swamp are half of their army!

You continue your research on masonry and nature magic.

Build a library, we are in a good path to literacy, next step should be building a place where our ''scholars'' can gather and improve our reserach.

A question btw, we have both salt and fishes, do we need to acquire/improve resources to get dry salted fish? That way we could start trading with Zencity, since they wanted exactly that.

After the war with the orcs is finished i think we could improve our food situation by trying to domesticate swamp hogs. we might even get leather.

We consider building either a nature sanctuary or a library. With the new techniques we unveiled, they would be more robust buildings. Whatever we choose to build, it is a worker intensive project and may put some pressure in our food supply.

You build a small serpent temple! The clan Serpentcoil is a bit disappointed, they wanted a grand temple after all their effort researching construction techniques, but they are glad they got their temple.

You send scouts to check on the approaching army. The composition of the army is mainly Warriors armed with curved swords and big shields. They have some cavalry, but they are lightly armored and likely only used for scouting and similar roles. A small amount of dedicated archers has also been sighted. Their leaders seem to gather in large tents at the center of their camps with armed guards posted at the entrance, so they aren't particularly inconspicuous. In number of combatants, they appear to boast a few hundred men, perhaps anything from 300-400. Following their logistic lines, our scouts find they hail from a walled city with tall stone towers far east. A fire is kept constantly alive at the center of their settlement and a large stockpile of firewood can be seem piled up within their walls.

You seek to improve food acquisition for your tribe! You have some options:
> Expand your foraging grounds (+1 food)
> Expand your hunting grounds (+1 food)
> Expand your fishing grounds (+1 food)

A serpentman shows up in our tribe, he offers to teach us the Serpent God religion. The Serpentcoil clan is curious, but the rest of the people think it is a bad idea to let a monstrous creature into our settlement.

They receive your men into their large tents. Surrounded by their leaders, our diplomats are served some hot beverage and then gifted a curved sword. The Eastmen leader, Mister Sukuo, say they do not desire to go to war with us, but it is imperative that they recover the Mind Projection Crystal Ball Artifact, which they refer to as "Eye Of Zazulu", which they say is a sacred relic for their people. If we are prepared to part ways with the artifact, they might compensate us for it. They have Slaves, Silver and Silk which they could use to pay us with. They say they are willing to provide us with regular tributes for up to 20 years if we so much as agree to give them the artifact. They will wait until the last moon of this year for an answer, and sadly if the answer is not a good trade deal, they will have to resort to other means.
