Whiteness. That was the whole of it at the beginning moment. All was white. The depth, and breadth of the All glowed with it, it's fog seeped through everything. And then there was one. An tiny little person. His alabaster complexion unmarred by scars or blemishes of any kind. Dressed only in a loincloth. He could feel nothing under his feet, suspended in the fog. His dragonfly-wings clickclattering behind him. If he held his arms outward, his hands would wave trails through through the fog, and it had visible swirls where his breath moved it. The fog pulled away and then there was the weight of it all, he could feel himself pulled toward the ground. The mossy, leaf littered ground. His lithe, slender little naked legs seemed be painted otherworldy, white and pale compared to the the earthy tones of the forest floor below. He noticed all about him, other faeries hovered, or stood on tree roots, male and female. Butterfly winged, dragonfly, and others. Each, looking about, both amazed and unsurprised, at the same instant.

Each knew his or her own name. They knew one another, but not how. They knew this was their forest, and it's name, but not why it was called that. As the fog pulled away from them, into the distance, the depth of the forest became more apparent. It's ancient trees, thick with age. It's glittering brooks filled with darting minnows in every color. Sunbeams shone down from the canopy. Slender blades of silver cutting the deep, foreboding twilight of the forest below. Motes of dust, swirled in and out of them. Here and there a butterfly, or enormous moth flitted from this flower to that.

One by one, the little folk found themselves drawn to a vast mushroom circle at the middle of the nearby clearing. A vast pile of rocks, out of place yet where it belonged Here and there various flowering shrubs and trees peeked from between the rocks, or from cracks in great slabs. The faeries swarmed up to the rock pile. They darted into the shadows, and seemingly vanished, first one at time, and then, quite suddenly, all at once.

Inside, they found themselves in a vast cavern system filled with tiny streamlets and fluorescent mushrooms. The eerie glow filled the chamber. They all came alight near a still pool of water which seemed to have paler, bluer glow than anything else in the room. At the bottom of the pool, lay a tiny scepter, atop a tiny stone throne. Someone hovered over the water, and tried to dip her toe into it. She found the surface of the pond, quite solid to her foot, if a bit slippery. And in mere moments, 100 fey folk were laughing and singing and skating about the magical pond as though it were of ice.

Darkness. That was the whole of it at the beginning moment. All was Black. The depth, and breadth of the All consumed with it, it's deep seeped through everything. And then there was one. Stout and strong. A grubby, bearded stout little man. His bronze complexion unmarred by scars or blemishes, stretched taught over thickly muscled limbs. Dressed only in a loincloth. He could feel nothing under his feet, suspended in the darkness.

And then he could feel the earth pull at him, and his feet flat on cold stone. Level stone. Deep stone. Solid stone. Home was here. As the dark pulled away from him, he saw that he stood among a hundred, standing in four ranks of twenty five in the center of a True Flat square of bedrock. The square sat in the middle of a large cavern, through which a stream flowed. They couldn't see the cavern, so much as feel it. Everything they could see was within 50 feet or so. Darkvision, allowed them to see in the pitch blackness.

A breeze carried in the scent of the outside, and in the far distance, around a bend, light was barely detectable to their eyes.

The cave took several turns before opening up into a wider cavern, the far end of which clearly led nearly directly to the out side and it was broad daylight.

They followed the stream out to where it plummeted far farther than any dwarf would care to jump, into a valley below. The River could be seen snaking off through the canyons into the distance. But that wasn't what caught his eye. Among the pebbles in the stream at his feet, he saw the most interesting stone.

Indo-European Style:

Too bright to see. That was the whole of it at the beginning moment. All was White. The depth, and breadth of the All consumed with it, it's glare washed out. And then there was one. Tall and hardy. An athletic man, his bronze complexion unmarred by scars or blemishes, stretched taught over well muscled limbs. Dressed only in a loincloth. He could feel nothing under his feet, suspended in the brightness.

And then he could feel the earth pull at him, and his feet flat in warm grass And the fog began to pull away and all at once the bright sunshine shone in. As his eyes adjusted, he saw about him other people, each bewildered and also unsurprised by it all. The white fog rolled back, magically as if in reverse, revealing lush grassland, and eventually rolling hills and a forest in the distance. He saw that he stood among a hundred, at the edge of a babbling stream that wandered out of the forest and onto the grasslands. If they lay of the land had anything to say about it, surely a river lay beyond. A breeze carried the scent of manure, and hoofprints lined the edge of the brook. Over a nearby hill, the whinnying of horses could be heard.

Sorry, humans are easy so yours is a bit shorter. :)

Urist, the newly-emerged leader of the dwarves took a deep look at the precious stone. "Oi! Torval! Take a look at this stone! Yer the smart one, so you tell me what it is!"

Action: Investigate the strange stone

Urist takes a look at the tools the dwarves were using. Sticks and rocks. "Oi, ye call these tools? We were born ta dig into the earth, and yer plannin' on usin' rocks and twigs? We'd better make some better tools, on the double. I know, maybe try puttin' the damn rock ON the stick!"

Action: Make better tools

Silence pervaded All. Darkness consumed everything. It was bottom of the sea dark, and silent, but without the crushing pressure or freezing cold. And then there was an eerie dark green glow above and suddenly the sounds of the mangrove estuary filled his ears. The brackish water, pungent with the rot of the tidal flats burned reassuringly in his nostrils He rose up and took hold of a mangrove root, slithering and hauling himself up from the water. Here and there he could see others like him. They were at the edge of a river mouth. The tide was going out with speed, to make it to the island across the river that beckoned to them would require some strong swimming. Not a soul remained behind, or feared the crossing.

Slithering from the water, they moved onto the beach and into the palm trees behind. Here and there stone could be seen among the sand and fronds, the further in they went, the more stone they encountered and the larger they grew, until some ways inland the lay of the land was not swampy at all, for an island in an estuary. The palms gave way to a vast hill that rose up to the center of the island. Obsidian shards, and chunks littered the hillside. Cactus and yellow birds lay between them and the top, where they found the seething caldera of the volcano that seemed to be beckoning to them. It's radiant heat filling them with a sensation only a reptile could understand.

Action 2: Learn how to make nets

>>1158796

The stone is a perfect octahedron. It's a deep purple color. It's a garnet. It's not large, just shiny and geometric, no dwarf would have missed it. As you turn to ask Torval, you see the full compliment examining rocks, tasting dirt. "Aye, we need cordage lads." Pipes up someone, as she clamors over the edge and begins climbing to the forest below. Like it or not, that's where the materials are, and the food. In all the ordered chaos there arose a uniform moment of silence where each dwarf looked up and around at one another and almost in unison they all said one word. "Ale". Their expressions distant, longing. "Aye that!" shouted several, "Winter's coming on you grubby lot, let's get your lazy arses moving!" Urist bellowed, laughing. They all knew it was the first day of spring.

The stream from this cave has little useful in the way of gemstones, however, there are traces of them in the sands that tell your people that the mountain likely is the source of several minerals of use and gems, they just need to be gotten to.

You're dwarves. You have wood and stone. Within the first few days of the season, each person carries stone hammer or axe in his braided flax belt. And not just stones strapped to sticks, fine hickory handles, elegant etched handles, axe heads chosen for the artful curve of multicolored stone banding. Toolshed tools by your standards, heirlooms by any other. Sturdy and beautiful.

In your short travels from your home cave, at the base of the mountain you find only game and resources. No other peoples. Not that you were expecting any. Your people seem most concerned with laying enough materials to not run out of alcoholic beverages for the winter months. Nearly to the last dwarf they've been seeking fermentables. google some primitive brewing! Some kind of containers are in order.

>>1158803

these first 100 people come with basic stone age built in. Stick sharpening requires no turn, even chimps understand and do it, as to crows...

As humans you spawned next to something more important than shelter, horses. Your people are drawn to them. Realizing they needed wood more than grass for the tasks that lay ahead. After climbing to the crest of the hill to peer over at the horses beyond. A fine herd of several hundred wild mustangish horses. "We need wood." one voice whispered, "I must craft some cordage." said another. Each has ideas of how to catch the horses, but no one knows how to for sure.

Action one, low roll. Your people aren't dwarves, let's face it. Your tools are simple and crude, but they will get the jobs ahead done.

Action Two: Your people seem to have a knack for weaving thin strong ropes from grasses, and knotting those into nets required no stretch of anyone's imaginations. Following the streams in the area will lead your people to a wide, slow moving river. Wherein fish abound. As do an apparently willing to eat humans critter or two. Several people get bitten, and everyone is stalked by the large predatory crocks, snakes, but no lives are lost this spring.

By the time spring has arrived, you have several nets large enough to catch a sturgeon, a crocodile, or perhaps a horse, if one were careful. The infrequent rains have led to several makeshift shelters but your people are drawn between more permanent shelter, and catching some of those majestic horses.

>>1158787
There are no old gods! When your people turn their minds inward and outward spiritually calling to the forces they instinctively feel are present, that brought them into being, they get a sense of newness, emptyness. A vacuum in time, or space, or reality. As you are camped on a volcanic mountain, fire is not an issue, nor is staying warm. Word spreads that several of you have begun some meditation or something in the warm black sands of a cave on the beach on the far side of the volcano from the river. The serpentian chanting and hissing, a mesmerizing experience. It drew them in, until the whole of your people gather.

No, there are no old gods. But you can feel it beneath your scales, something is listening to your people's voices and it adores the sounds you make when you sing to it.

You find little in way of domesticateable animals in this area. The tiny yellow birds that nest in the cactus seem fond of your people, not fearing to alight on them and at times, you could swear that when your needs and their needs coincided, they are willing to help. You're likely going to have to venture away from the sacred volcano of warm, loving sands to find more animals to domesticate. There isn't much in the way of natural resources here to support larger animals.

The crocks in the river are big enough, but not smart enough. Though your people are small enough to be considered prey by them, they seem to defer you some respect they don't give other animals. You doubt that the rule would hold fast if food were scarce though.

If you follow the river inland, larger animals are likely, as crocks tend to feed on more than just fish!

Whiteness. That was the whole of it at the beginning moment. All was white. The depth, and breadth of the All glowed with it, it's fog seeped through everything. And then there was one. An elf. Not a wood elf, or mountain elf, nor any other kind of elf, just an elf, the elfkind from which the others descended. His ruddy complexion unmarred by scars or blemishes of any kind. Dressed only in a loincloth. It was comfortable, he was neither cold nor hot. It was just him. He could feel nothing under his feet, suspended in the fog. If he held his arms outward, his hands would wave trails through it, and it had visible swirls where his breath moved it. He noticed the fog thinning, and all about him, other elves stood, similarly dressed, male and female. All the same, indeterminate age. Each, looking about, both amazed and unsurprised, at the same instant.

Each knew his or her own name. They knew one another, but not how. They knew this was their mountain, and it's name, but not why it was called that. As the fog pulled away from them, they found themselves standing on a flat ledge of bedrock. Hundreds of feet behind them, beyond barren, wet stone, covered in puddles and little streams of water, trickling down from the icy peaks above. The frigid water didn't bother them, their elven systems impervious to such minor temperature changes. They all walked up to the ledge over which all of the water eventually dripped or flowed.

The fog was pulling away steadily, revealing a vast forest below, through which the meltwater streams gathered into a crystal clear river.

Below them lay the rocks and wood they'd need, food needed to be found. One at a time, they began climbing over the edge, to work their way down to the forest below.

Each, looking about, both amazed and unsurprised, at the same instant.

In the near distance, first quietly, and then louder, the distinct roar of a great falls could be heard. In a flash they were all off, moving gracefully through the gnarled roots and great sagging vines. They arrived nearly all at once where the trees gave way to hard bedrock and the vegetation fell away for a few dozen feet before the sudden drop. A glistening silver river, not too wide to swim, nor too deep emerged from the tangled wood and plummeted a just farther than a brave elf might care to jump. Several smaller streams poured from the forest, over the edge into a broader river below.

The elves moved forward, looking over the edge into the crystal blue waters below. The river below meandered off into a forest composed of different trees, smaller, less primordial. The Fog could be seen retreating slowly in the distance, revealing more forest beyond, and eventually it faded into the haze of the distance. Enormous vines climbed up over the edge of the cliff, and snaked over the bedrock before finding trees at the edge of the forest behind and climbing upwards. Over the edge they began to climb, taking the vines down to the vast pool below. On the way down, several small caves were passed. The rock was soft, and had many small recesses in it. At the bottom, the cliff face eased back from the pool, where rock had fallen below, but not above.

Several of the elves seemed drawn to the stones littering the ground. Some had shapes and edges that interested them. A few others noticed some plants nearby, and knew that everyone would be needing binding material for various tasks and began harvesting some thin, ropy vines into coils... Conversation began to break out, here and there.

By nightfall, the group sat around a large fire beneath the great ledge beneath the tangled forest. Fish were on spits being roasted, several kinds of tubers were roasting in coals. Several elves were making baskets, and another had several stones, clacking them together. He was making a stone ax, as some wood chopping would soon be happening for sure.

Darkness. Warm and encompassing. There was nothing but the Dark, and then there was one. Lanky, brawny arms at the ends of which long-fingered, claw-nailed, elegant hands, ruddy brown palm, and a beautiful ebony back. To most, a brawny, mostly starved, wild, ugly elf, but to the eyes of a goblin. Adonis himself. In his own eyes, his lanky limbs bulged with muscle and seethed with destructive power. He ran his tongue across sharp, pointed teeth and it dawned upon him that he hadn't eaten yet today, hunger gnawed at his belly as the darkness pulled further away. His eyes made for the pitch blackness, he could see the difference between the darkness of the cave, and the Darkness of the the Beginning. That impervious, black wall seemed to sigh as it pulled a few moved a few meters more, revealing other goblins standing about, each, seemingly caught in mid-daydream about it's own physique, and it's hunger gnawing within. The Darkness moved into the stone and the Earth breathed it's first breath. Their greasy, scraggly hair shifted with the breeze as the air came in forcefully, and then, pull back the other way. “We're in it's belly!” one of them screamed, as his own breath leaving his lungs matched timing with the cavern. Again the Earth breathed in, their hair pulled back the other way and they were all overcome with a great fear that they had been eaten alive!

Hauntingly savage was the scene of 100 terrified, snarling goblins tearing down the cave, running where it was flat, climbing where it rose or fell. They ran for hours, their fear driving their hunger to the back of their minds. Or was it days, they were so hungry they could not tell. The closer they got to the mouth of the Earth, the louder his breathing became. His throat opened out wider, flatter. Teeth jutted here and there up, or from above hanging down. The closer they got to his mouth, the wider the cave became and the more teeth they encountered. The stench of his breath began to fill the expanse of the cave and his teeth ceased to be like teeth at all, for they grew from ceiling to floor, as if they'd met in the middle and grown together. As if he'd not eaten in so long, his mouth grew closed. The thought of which, brought a deep sadness over each goblin as it the though occurred to them. Imagine, forever being hungry, but unable to feed! Their individual reveries of the foreverstarving gave way to the realization that they were in fact, hearing a surf roaring into the mouth of a broad cavern. They crested the mouth of the cave, and below them lay a huge cavern that seemed to be connected to the sea by caves with mouths below the water. Not too deep for sunlight, because their sensitive eyes could make out the distinct glow of sunlight entering the pool from below, at many places, large and small on the far side of the subterranean lagoon.

“Fishes swimssss.” one hissed, and his spidery slim figure hurtled off the ledge into the water.

>Get to know our new neighbors and give them some house warming gifts.
As the elves settle into their new surroundings, they are greeted by a vibrant melody of sounds. Fascinated by everything about this new environment, they begin to seek out the sources of the sounds, finding strange creatures of all shapes and sizes. They begin observing their actions and mannerisms, learning how they live, what they eat, when & where they come from and even their particular voices and moods. Some elves even began leaving out food for them to try and get a closer look.

>Look into the special properties of the local flora.
While observing the animals, they also notice that some plants are eaten readily, while others are preferred for bedding. Occasionally when an animal is wounded it will come to partake of a certain plant. Sometimes an animal eats a plant that causes its behavior to change, one causing them to become excited and jumpy. Another, sluggish and sleepy and one more causes them to appear disoriented and entranced, as if they no longer acknowledge their surroundings. But some plants however, seem to be avoided completely.

Red. Seething and warm. The belly of the Earth where liquid fire was all there was. Surely that's where this was. The warmth of it baked her scales and warmed her to the bone. Her frill flushed orange slightly as her feet sank into the warm sands and her instincts turned to eggs and courtships. But the red faded to orange and it wasn't red or orange at all, it had just been the brightness of the gurgling lava flow only yards away. The thick mist had just glowed from the lava. Or had it? Was she formed of the stuff of the heart of the Earth and brought here?

The fog slowly receded , and many other kobolds stood about in the cave, experiencing their first thoughts and emotions. The fog pulled further into the distance, deeper into the cave and on towards the mouth. A great hissing could suddenly be heard and the stench of seaweed and lava. The black obsidian sands met the lapping waves of the night time beach only a few dozen yards beyond the mouth of the cave. Two moons lit up the night sky, one round and full, the other only partially illuminated, but clearly not round, but oblong and misshapen, tumbling end over end slowly, with a slight twist, as it crossed the night sky. Clearly, on most nights, they wouldn't share the sky this way, as they crossed at different speeds, and different orbits. Tonight must be a special night she thought. The vertical slits of her eyes opening wide as she looked away from the moons and down the beach in both directions. The black sands seemed to come from this cave only, like a mud, from wherever the lava came. The rest of the beaches were a creamy eggshell color. Sea oats swayed atop the dunes in the night breeze.

CRACK! Almost like thunder, broke the silence of 99 kobold taking in their first double full moon on the sacred beach. But there's always the 100's kobold, standing there over the broken shards of the large hunk of obsidian he'd hurled with all his might at another, larger hunk of obsidian beneath the sand. He looked up from his knapping to find the rest of his hoarde staring at him, wide eyed.

He knelt slowly, his pointed, snaggle teeth clearly displayed in an uncomfortable kobold smile. His frill flushed a deep purple, embarrassment. His scaled, three fingered hand slowly rose up next to his head. In it, he had held a rather fortunate break, it wouldn't take much to turn this one into a fine hatchet. The sound of a hundred kobold laughing, the stuff of which human children have nightmares echoed down the beach...

“The fey feel a deep power in them. Something special. Magical? They try to draw it out. “

die roll 3-74= -71

Previously in the fey kingdom: “Someone hovered over the water, and tried to dip her toe into it. She found the surface of the pond, quite solid to her foot, if a bit slippery. And in mere moments, 100 fey folk were laughing and singing and skating about the magical pond as though it were of ice..”

And she returned to the pond from time to time, when others weren't around, and she'd skate lazily over it, time and time again, her glistening emerald eyes would hungrily strafe the scepter. Oh what powers it must hold! The hunger for it's power gnawed at her inside. If the way she felt inside, she thought often, was how she looked on the outside. How horrid she'd look. She spun into a dainty pirouette, her actual size butterfly wings grabbing the air, and holding her there, suspended for a moment. All puny and pale and weak. She disgusted herself.

To any onlooker, she was rapt in pious thought, or serene meditation. The scepter was right there, but she couldn't touch it, and oh how it burned at her innermost being to not have it!

The spring equinox was approaching, the moons were supposed to align again, and both be full. They'd all decided to hold a moot in the secret caverns beneath the sacred pile of stones wherein their cavern kingdom lay. Julanha was going to skate a dance, while others sang or played on musical instruments they'd fashioned over the weeks preparing for the ceremony.

The ceremony was perfect. They were closing with some haunting throat-chanting in a nine part harmony. Julanha heard his words echoing through her mind, “deep power within.” Her hands raised high over her head and the singing stopped and the throat singers held a long, vibrating note far deeper in register than you'd imagine some tiny folk could manage. Julanha could literally feel the heat of her hatred, as she held her closing stance. It was in her feet, climbing up her legs... Oh how all of this silliness irked her deeply within her being and the burn of it was up to her neck when she realized that she's slowly descended into the sacred pool, and it's waters burned at her like lava but it was nothing compared to her desire for the scepter and … and the THRONE... It must be hers. She must sit in it, but the burning. The burn wasn't hatred. It was the water of the pool, it knew her. It knew her for what she was and she didn't belong and it wanted her OUT!

Beneath the water, they watched in horror as the bark covered faerie doubled, tripled in size, writhing in agony as the water began to foam and pop, and sizzle, explode where it touched her unholy skin. The faeries began to scatter as Julanha was blown, screaming, from the pool. The scepter, like a wand in her too large hand, set her hand fully ablaze and she flung it from her hand and her scream set the teeth of every faerie on edge. It made hackles of their neck rise up, and the fear that came over them was only made complete when the dryad looked at the thick root of a tree embedded in the side of the cave. Her serpent, catlike face snarled into a hiss and the way her voice moved didn't suit the Fey tongue... “I will be back!” And she streaked, in one long blurred movement, from where she stood, into the root of the tree, and vanished. The faerie cave was silent and the depth of the sadness was so deep,that the mushrooms grew dim, and the sacred pool went dark, and everyone left, all at once.

>Develop Boats
With the days growing long and hot, the tribe took to spending most of their spare time at and in the river. While playing with a turtle shell and floating it down the river, one of the elves got the idea to try making a giant turtle shell so he could float down the river inside it. He began collecting flexible saplings and weaving them together to form the shape of a shell and then stretched an animal hide over it. When the others saw him floating down the river waving at them, they barraged him with questions and requests to make more.

>Develop Bows
While helping with the boat construction, an elf was attempting to bend saplings into shape and lash them together. Frustrated that the limbs kept springing back straight and hitting him in the face, he decided to tie the ends together with a length of cordage. Amused by his new creation he got distracted and began plucking the string. When he grabbed a stick to see if it would make a different sound, the stick snagged on the cord and shot out of his hand. A short time later he found a new game in launching sticks at trees with the bowed sapling.

Meanwhile, the elves begin building simple nests in the mighty trees while a few take up residence in the waterfall caves. Some of them also began to check out the pool at the base of the falls and once it was confirmed to be deep and free of obstacles, they began diving as a test of courage. Also they continue watching and feeding the animals.

>>1161100

The cave seems to have enough resources, musrooms, crickets, there are good flint deposits for toolmaking, and the underwater pool replenishes the fish with nearly every tide... for a hundred or two goblins. You find several smaller caves which lead up and out to various places on the mountain. Your home cave butts up to a large body of salt water. On your side, it's ragged, goblinesque mountains. Goats, eagles, etc live there. Nothing supernatural is found. Across the water you're not sure, it's further across than goblin eyes can see.

As your people worship the Silence and the Calm, individually they begin to notice that while they focus on being calm, they don't feel the hunger as strongly.

>>1160703
Your people are adept at stacking stone, and the stone withing a days walk varies from pumice to granite. Shelters for scale covered critters, in tropical climes can be very tolerant. Although many caves reach up into the foot of the mountain, only one flows black sand and lava to the shore.

Kobolds tolerance for heat is astonishing. Although, they're unaware of this. Your bravest few venture deep into the sacred cave, where the heat was uncomfortable even for a kobold. All save one turned back, the ones who returned, said there was no way he could have survived. Several days passed, the remaining 99 continued on with their progress, wondering what had happened to her. On the third day, she walked out of the cave. She was wearing a red cape about her shoulders, that draped most of the way to the ground. It's edges, frayed and ragged. The others gathered around her. She seemed to look at them with a different look than before. Up close, her cape didn't seem ragged at all, it shimmered, was it moving?

When everyone was gathered, finally she spoke. "We are Kobold, we are borne of fire and lava and I have met the Great One, listen to me closely, for he has told me much."

that closes out this season. Several have already had their turn handled, I"m going to get to everyone else's turn two (0.5) now.

>Search for the scepter once more to forge a pact with the forest and claim the magic of the fey.

The scepter is easy to find. It is lying exactly where it landed when the dark fey woodsprite left the compound. We're going to call it a dark dryad. No one seems to want to pick it up is the problem, nor go near the “cursed” pond. Most are convinced that if they fall in, or want to touch the scepter, that it will bring out their dark side, and turn them evil! The Forest seems aware of your peoples. When try to communicate with the forest, it doesn't work per se. There is a language barrier between faeries and trees. And the ecological entities talk very slowly and it requires a rather patient fairy to listen. You know it will work, but it will take time, and perhaps other magical means must be brought to play.

>Begin gathering fallen leaves to make places to sleep.

You don't have daughters I take it. I personally have watched all the fairy movies and know that fairies sleep in flowers, or mushrooms, hollow logs, wherever they please. In their own forest, they have no predators. Two other mechanisms are at play. Sleeping faerie folk are invisible to mortals. Frightened fae involuntarily go invisible.

For the sake of speed, i'll reassign turn two to the scepter again. Your people gather about the scepter and begin discussing it. It was difficult to get everyone to return to the sacred caves, but your leader rolled (82) by my dice and got them all there. Once everyone became visible and the discussion began, the cave began to return to normal, and the sacred pool regains its calming blue glow. The consensus is, that why you touch the scepter is important. They feel that the scepter knows the heart of the person who grabs it, and most are terrified to find they are actually evil! To finish this action, tell me who picks it up, why and what you intend to do with it please.


>>1161107
>Look for neat shit in my mountain area.

Be vague why don't u :) Your mountain isn't rich in resources, but it has variety. It has some gems and precious metals, there are other potentially useful rocks, although you don't know just how yet. Plenty for tricking out your peoples gear, but not enough to establish trade. You have adequate varieties of stone for various tools. You find several promising fruit trees, vines, etc with fruits for cultivation. You find within in one hex of your spawn, everything you need to lead long and fruitful elfy lives.

>Start building homes. As the ginormous (yes, it's a word on Admor) trees about the base of your mountain have cavities in them already, it doesn't take much work to have rudimentary homes aloft. Several caves suitable for habitation are found. All of your people find comfortable lodging to their liking.

"I, Oberon,shall take this scepter in hand. Someone must volunteer to lead but everyone fears the scepter. But I see the hope in it. To keep the leader pure. So that they may strive for the best of our people. And of the world. We shall grow like the trees in the forest we live in and push the darkness back. So I shall take this scepter in hand. As a promise to me, the fae I hope to lead, and the forest I wish to protect."

>Scout up the River.
Reptilians make excellent scouts, as they're rather impervious to most inclement weather. Your scouting goes swiftly As you are yuan-ti, food is not a problem. Imagine the Amazon, scaled down. Your scouts bring back information of food resources, locations for gathering stone for tools. No animals suitable for domestication are found, but you have everything within one hex of your spawn to lead a long and fruitful Yuanti-y lives. It's Yuanti paradise actually.

>>1162272
OK. You pick it up.

You.
Feel.
Power.

But you realize you do not know how to use it, and an accident with this scepter may prove fatal, or worse. You realize this deeply. Oberon clearly sees himself as King. But when he picks up the scepter, and feels the power within it, Oberon feels that perhaps now isn't the time to wield the scepter. (Imagine little johnny picking up dad's double barrel 12guage, age six, or maybe a medieval lad picking up a two handed sword, while dad was working in the field.

The Scepter began to grow hot in Oberon's grasp. It's far in burst into flames, as if it were a torch. The handle of the scepter wasn't so hot that he couldn't hold it, if he bent his mind to enduring the heat. But then the flaming end began to creep downward, it would engulf the entire length of it in a few minutes. "Ooohhhhberooonnn." a faint, telltale voice breathed into the room. Gasps, emanated from the peanut gallery and eyes flew wide. First one at a time, and then, like a string of firecrackers, the entire host of fae popped into invisibility... save one. Oberon. He turned to look at what had sent the rest unseen and he saw the form of a sleek female faerie made entirely of shimmering blue water. She walked up to him, knelt to one knee, bowed her head and held up her hands. "I am the spirit of the pool. I am the Thronetender and the Scepterguard and I am here to serve." Oberon stood there, his hand was close to blistering when he placed the scepter into her watery hands. She rose, quietly and walked backward to the pond, gaze to the floor, until she stood over the pond. She looked about the room and raised the scepter in one hand above her. It burst into a bright white light and instantly all the fae folk of the room could be seen, even the dark dryad, clinging to a thick tree root. The tip of the scepter began to crackle with white lightening, and a thin bolt of it very slowly, forking like the lightening it resembled, but in ultra slow motion. Each branch bringing it closer to Oberon. The guardian began to grow in size, and the pool shrank proportionally, until the pool was dry and the Guardian was as tall as the cavern, the tiny scepter pinched between a watery thumb and index finger. At the moment the bolt touched Oberon's forehead the spirit said in a rumbling, deep voice, "All hail Oberon, King of the Fey!"

The water collapsed back into the pool in a giant rush of water that washed the throne up out of the pool and onto cavern floor.. the scepter however, lay back where it had been, at the bottom of the pool.

Loot: Circlet of the Fey. Crown of the Fey, it allows you to see all fey folk, even when invisible.

Don't forget me senpai

Developing skills:

there has been much ado about high rolls and bad rolls for actions. I've been thinking about this, and I think I have a solution.

>Invent gunpowder

and we roll for success. Clearly one doesn't just “discover gunpowder”, as alchemy is required first. Lets say you rolled a 50. No responsible QM is going to just say, ok, you have gunpowder.

First off, I'm wondering how this person who doesn't know what gunpowder is, is asking about gunpowder! Second, you'd need more than a 50, even if you'd prevously developed alchemy.

The open-ended rolls gave me the idea to just keep running totals on our actions. If you roll a 14 in turn .25 to “discover fire” You “fail”, but your +14 next roll. Extreme rolls we'll handle individually, as they are dice dictated plot mechanisms.

>Build Shelters:

do me a favor, and don't place the onus upon me to tell you that your people design lean-tos or teepees or wigwams or stone castles. This is your civilization, my planet, I give you trees, you can make log houses or saw planks and 2x4's, put it in your action fluff. I liked the “build boats> and then gave me a notion of what direction they were taking it, rather than leaving it up to me what kind of boats to grant.

So, fluff up your actions a bit, so I have more to work with, and keep track of your cumulative rolls for actions which do not at first succeeed.

>Develop Ice Magic as an example. You may need a cumulative 1500, if you're an ogre, or 300 if you're an ice pixie....

>>1161162
sorry, i'll get the hang of it.

See the bit on cumulative rolls. Next roll for growing grain will be +9. This year, of all the awful things, you may have to settle with using fruit and grapes and making... ugh, wine. Enough wild grains will be found for experimentation into actual, "REAL" brews.

Winter has been on the mind of Urist the First. While the cave is pretty warm once you get far enough inside, the frigid mountain winters will likely limit a lot of things the dwarves can do outside.

sorry, this is from turn two (0.5)


Action 1: Scout the land and terrain around us. We require a better understanding of the area dwell.

we will assume you haven't spent four months sharpening sticks and playing with nets alone and that in the process of gathering food and materials for crude tools and nets you've familiarized yourselves with your home hex, and this round we're fanning out into the surrounding ones.

Since it's not gone without rain or winds since spawn and we are assuming each people have spawned in an area that suits them we're going to assume your people have utilized sharp sticks and procured hides and have crude yurts or teepees, your choice, some hide covered structure. Your original spawn was a couple hours walk from a forest. Stone, you're not finding much of here. It's too flat.

Action 2: As tempting as those horses are they are not worth risking the entire tribe on. Instead we should build a sturdier and more permanent settlement.

As your people break camp, to move on looking for shelter you notice several horses watching your efforts. No mater where your people go, there always seems to be one, or two of these things watching. As your people begin to move onward towards the forest edge and towards some hills you see in the distance, the herd shadows your movement, and goes with you. A herd of roughly 100 head cuts away from the greater herd after a couple of days and those horses stick with you, always at a respectable distance, never out of eyesight.

Your stone tools will get the job done, though they're not quite how you intuitively knew they should be. Next roll on this will be: Improve Stone Tools +60(2). When you get them to 200 they will have satisfied your mental notions of how they should be. You'll have axes, hammers, chisels, scrapers, knives and short for humans, quarterstaffs for kobolds and hand grinders, etc. If I'm missing something in the basic kit add it.

>Mediate in Cave to Unlock Psionic Potential
Previous roll of 83 for the same action.

So let's do it like this:
>Meditate in Cave to Unlock Psionic Potential +87(2)

87+33 is 110 so next time you dedicate an action to this run it
>Meditate in Cave to Unlock Psionc Potential +110(3)
Your people can't do any psionics yet, but they believe it exists and they are attempting in earnest to attain the ability, without guidance of experience from anyone else. It will be slow going, like any magic. As you know, in D&D, the chance of actually having psionics is practially nil, A of all, need a INT, WIS or CHA must be over 16, which is almost none of the population. Using 3d6, 4.5% of the rolls are 16+ and of those 4.5%, as subset of 4.5% would have two abilites 16+.... etc.

Humans would get one roll, at creation. Yuan-ti will get subsequent re-rolls after their winter molt. So recheck population each spring, re-rolls are not double %, just plain. If they fail the second roll, they'll automatically succeed the third roll, but they'll never have “powers” they'll just be able to communicate with other yaunti.

One elf may have a bird that visit's her often, and not always for food, sometimes just to sing, or bring a pebble as a gift, or a wolf that tags along after a hunter, first just now and then, and eventually, it just leaves the pack and stays with the elves.

I'm doing normal fauna in new scouted hexes, unless I get a 96+ on my dice here, i'll let u know when megafuana or metafauna occur!

Your first go round at tools produces effective, yet, improperly balanced tools, while they get the job done, they just leave the goblin who made it and used if feeling.. just... ungobliny.
Follow up tool development as a 3rd roll, until you get to 500, then your people will have worked out their designs to their likings.

Excellent plan, given your environs. As a passive action, make a 4th d100 roll and add it cumulatively until you reach 500. At this point you'll have tier 1 written language. about 600 words, no past or future tense, etc. We're using a tier 4 language I guess, maybe a 3?

Sorry i missed u bro

Your fey folk are begining to make magics, small ones. Keep track of your rolls. You need a cumulative 500 to have all of your people casting cantrip level fairy spells. You can designate a single passive roll to it each turn, or "take a 50" and avoid critical failures. If you decide to use actions to speed up, your rolls count double. You are at 266 already from this turn.

You find all manner of gems and the trinity of precious metals, gold, silver, copper all in surface deposits and easy to mine, but no giant gemstones or enormous nuggets, as you mine these up, they'll lead you to their sources where greater finds likely wait. As to the metals useful for tools, that hasn't seemed to dawn on anyone just yet, for now stone is good. As there's no iron nuggets lying about, or bronze nuggets, we don't have a metal age trigger yet. Something will happen to trigger it. Your home hex will have readily available pretty rocks to adorn about 1000 of your people, this applies to each group. If you want more you'll have to dig or search abroad. Home hex is an “eden” of sorts for each group.

>Action: Scout out the area surrounding Uthargeshud
Your explorations familiarize your people with the area. If they could rap, they'd be rapping how their ale was on their mind and their mind was on their ale, because they've spotted several good locations for grain fields. You do find one thing of interest. Cave bears. The bears didn't see your scouts, but the scouts decided it would be prudent to end the excursion and bring back news because these beasts look like they could eat a dwarf in two bites. They were concerned.

Aelfric commented after everyone else finished being worried, that he felt it would make a nice rug, but that something besides stone hammers and axes needed to be at hand.

Gress is having a hard time of developing a convincing argument. The other goblins continue to bring him food, as his growling stomach worries and frightens them. It is an unnatural sound.

The fruit trees of the valley attract smaller (fruit bat sized) bats that eat the fruit, the batshit and tree litter supports a mushroom cylce of edible mushrooms large enough to carve into single goblin dwellings, while they're alive. The caterpillars infest the trees, add different poop to the forest and make massive tenting webs of thick silk. The cocoons make positively divine goblin hammocks with minor modification, the moths attract a second bat that's large enough to be ridden by a small goblin when they are flying.

>Improve Stone Tools +60(2)
>Meditate in Cave to Unlock Psionic Potential +110(3)

Both of these actions you've taken before. As people would tend to innovate the tools as they used them, improvement CAN be relegated to a passive task. Each round after you developed stone tools you are entitled to a roll, OR a +50 per turn, until it adds up to 500. Then you've mastered Yuan-Ti stone tools. IF you choose to dedicate an action to it AS WELL points will count double, you can either roll and double it, or “take 100pts”

Using this formula since you were +60(2) to begin with, and since we have two rolls, we're going to +100 rather than roll for your passive improvement and your 90 Roll adds +180. So you are now at +340(3,1) *that's (3 actions, 1 passive action) You'll autocomplete in two passive turns.

You're now at: Meditate in Cave to Unlock Psionic Potential +368(4,1). You'll autocomplete in two or next round with another action. Your people can all sense one another's presence in darken rooms and have taken to sparring blindfolded.

You can allow passive roll accumulation to complete them and use your actions for other things.

This could be a passive refining action, as you have functional, if whimpy bows already. I'm goning to assume a “take 50” for your passive action on this. You'll be Make functional bows +190(2,1) You haven't discovered the proper tree to use. Your bows will drop a rabbit or squirrel at this point.

This snow lily however, didn't may not have sighed, for it was drowned out by 99 faeries sighing all at once because inside the bloom, swaddled in a petal, was a tiny baby faerie.

The other goblins are beginning to wonder if you are going to die or not. You're getting pretty frail at this point, you've been at it for a year as of next turn, and you've got a goblin metabolism even if you have the heart of a shao-lin. Your efforts are not in vain. You've attracted quite a following. The number of goblins willing to fight over whether or not you're a “argntsht” or “dumbass” in goblinese is coming to blows less than two or three times a day. It would seem that the goblins who've been meditating with you have some edge in combat, and this they find worth being hungry over. Most of your followers have adopted dietary restrictions though. They've decided that eating off the ground is beneath them, and that hunters who can kill their prey cleanly are very respected. Your people seem to have some edge, as they are making more clean kills, more often than their more primitive brothers and sisters.

One thing they aren't better at doing that the unrestrained goblins is “it”. Birth rate among goblins seems to be tied to caloric intake of the female. More you stuff in her the more often she comes into heat. But, goblin females who don't have one dangling off all four teats have time to to things like action two.....

83% follower rate among your people. They are not happy with not eating though, I'll be honest with you. It's rather unpopular even among your people. If you weren't always surrounded by food they'd think you were hiding it somewhere and eating it later. The fact that you really mean it and really are doing it means something to them, but, they do not have your resolve. Several of your more outspoken followers suggest a feast every night, for half the people. That way half of your people are always lean and mean, in case trouble arrives, while the other half are rested and powerful for tomorrow's shift.

On almost any action, i'll allow a "take50" for an average result. Sometimes we require a roll, but hasn't really happened yet much.

Passive actions we're using to represent what people do with their spare time not spent doing the active stuff. There's no TV or internet afterall and it only takes about 4hrs a day honest hard work for most primitive cultures to survive. It adds up to a lot of spare time.

Imagine you develop a stone hammer. Over the course of using it, you may change your design, for example.

I'm going to set T0-T1 a 500pt progression. It will double each T after. Warp tech is like T10 tech, so it takes a lot of research to get there.

>Frack tries to develop better tools from what she has, flint and stone.
Frack, a small, very clever female goblin that likes to write on walls, has begun trying to make better tools to work with. She finds some flint and other stones and begins to work on them, trying to shape them into a form that suits her needs better, those needs being pointy rocks for scratching walls and nice round ones perfect for bobbing fish and giant bugs on the head with.

>Gress the Bony is firm in his belief, but likes more the idea of less than all or nothing.
Gress the Bony pushes for less crazed feasting and more for moderation, to eat enough to cut some of the edge off the hunger but not so much that you bloat and get lazy.

>Scouting the River and Through the Woods

Your woods are filled with mostly “modern era” animals in elfin woodland flavors. As you explore up the river, you find yourselves being followed and observed by some large, emerald-metallic green crows.
Your river has Giant Otter and upstream, above the falls you have snapdragons. They're seemingly innocuous, lovable little lizards which look just like tiny dragons, and can fly moderate distance. They eat insects, and like to perch on passing elves. be nice, as they have breath weapons, if tiny ones.

Marveling at the tales of wondrous new creatures, many elves decide to pay them an extended visit and get to know them better. Meanwhile others stay behind and further cultivate their relationships with the local creatures.

There's not much else you can do to get the animals in your home hex to like you any more. Even those in the surrounding hexes are disgustingly mushy over your people. Any self respecting elk would be ashamed to lay down and get belly rubs, but not in your forest!

The otters are nomadic, if they stay in one spot too long, it hurts the river ecology, and they realize this. They stay with you for a few weeks, and move on, you people are confident they'll see them again next spring, or maybe sooner or later, depending on the fish.

The crows apparently choose their friends wisely, and have stuck to just watching you. They haven't even eaten anything you've left. They are very secretive, and your people have not discovered where they roost, nor, for that matter, can any of your people ever remember seeing them unless they wanted to be seen! You have not successfully observed a single natural behavior of these birds, it's beginning to feel quite the other way around to your people. As if you're being observed by them.

Snapdragon: size of a sparrow. Smoke breath, puts out fires. Their most annoying habit is that they instinctively extinguish any fire that could spread to the forest and become a danger. So, pool of lava in a cave, safe. Candle left untended, OUT. Think of these things as housecats/fire extinguishers.

They will be toddlers by Fall, fastest walkers/talkers of all species. They are, is there a word stronger than “very”...yes, they are extremely quarrelsome and require constant maternal or paternal supervision to prevent them from going feral. Goblins are meant to run free! They do not nurse like a normal mamal, and go from womb to solid food. You can literally abandon one in the woods and it can survive with luck.

>Frack tries to develop better tools from what she has, flint and stone.
Frack, a small, very clever female goblin that likes to write on walls, has begun trying to make better tools to work with. She finds some flint and other stones and begins to work on them, trying to shape them into a form that suits her needs better, those needs being pointy rocks for scratching walls and nice round ones perfect for bobbing fish and giant bugs on the head with.

Flint naturally breaks into usefully sharp bits, it takes craftsmanship to make an arrowhead though, but any crafty critter with spare time and an idle mind (such as when meditating) could devise such things with ease. Frack is doing well, despite her low roll. She's just been doing most of the work mentally while she meditates. +26 to tools

>Gress the Bony is firm in his belief, but likes more the idea of less than all or nothing.
Gress the Bony pushes for less crazed feasting and more for moderation, to eat enough to cut some of the edge off the hunger but not so much that you bloat and get lazy. "Gobbs be needing to be actives. You eatsis and gets so big and dumbs y'can't do notting but lies on ye asses. Eat til' ye don't squirm from ouchies, then work an' explore wit' wot you 'ave"

your efforts are meeting both resistance and interest. You have no fat goblins yet, even among the group that is still bucking your practices tooth and nail.... pun intended. You have a small contingent, of mostly females who seem to have a crush cult and are following your dietary guidelines strictly. They find a bony physique keeps the brutes at bay, and they think your ideas will win out in the long run. Gress, still toeing the line, is going to become malnourished if he's not careful, and a stronger, better fed goblin might fancy himself leader...

>Train elves and animal friends to work together for mutual benefit.
The elves and animals often find themselves in the same place at the same time while hunting and gathering resources. But being such close friends, they soon realize that they can be much more successful if they work together. The wolves, birds of prey and elvish hunters begin hosting collaborative hunts, while the crows, songbirds, snapdragons and other creatures begin guiding the elves to fruits and other resources in exchange for the elves’ improved gathering capacity. Some elk even start accepting riders in return for protection and food. These relationships may have started for merely selfish reasons at first, but both parties eventually came to have genuine respect and care for each other’s wellbeing.

>Learn the language of the animals
As they work together more and more, the elves naturally develop an understanding of animal body language. But more than that, they start noticing patterns in their vocalizations. Soon after, they begin imitating these calls in order to produce meaningful two-way communication between elf and fauna.
