Rolled 7 (1d8)

Life was good, but your tribe is on the run for several days now. Filthy pinkskins are waging war against each other in the northwest. Of course you exploited the obvious opportunity and started to raid their villages when they were busy killing each other. A few days ago, our leader got too careless. Humans were waiting for us. That stupid shit ordered to attack anyways. After a few minutes it was clear who is on the losing side. I hastly ordered retreat, we got what we hastly could from our old outpost and now we are here. Time to stop and think.

We came from northwest. Yes, there is a river in north feeding into an ocean. There is a coral reef at the delta. To the west you see a few patches of swamp and forest.

You have some surplus food for now, but don't expect it to last for long. You are armed quite well, most tribesmen have pikes, leather armor, some tools, some even crossbows - all "borrowed" from humans. It is possible pinkskins followed you even here although you dont think it very probable.

Location you are in seems to be quite alright for a temporary settlement. With the good visibility, it would be hard to get surprised by approaching armies. On the other hand, plains don't offer much defenses. Proximity to sea also guarantees strong winds and rainfall.

Too drunk to post sensible reply now. Gonna reply tomorrow.

Everyone is gathering resources and food for the base camp that needs to be built as soon as possible. Some went hunting and gathering wood in the western forest. Others scout the beach for edibles. It's a grueling task after the night of forced march, but you know it has to be done.

Tribesmen are following your orders although you already know there will be trouble. A few folks gathered around a big, muscular orc named Korgak. He is a member of the old garde, loyal to the old leader and his ways. Fortunately for you, neither the old leader nor Korgak are very smart. Korgak's group is strong though and equipped with the best armour and weapons. When they return from the hunt you are quite sure they wont be willing to share.

Tribesmen are now returning with the logs. Should they begin to build the base right here, or closer to the western forest/swamp? Or somewhere else?

Gathering mana means something along the lines of looking for resin, berries, flowers, shamans preparing for the ritual etc. Ritual itself is something like research (when developing perks) or communion with the spirits or gods (when casting spell). Ill list possible Tier I perks and spells later.

Also when gathering it would be good idea to specify what to focus on (food, resources, mana).

So Korgak is big stupid and strong,

what are our traits if we have any, or can we pick them?

I'd like us to be Wise and shamanistic.

I have trouble coming up with meaningful perks and spells. More time…

Honestly, i was running under the assumption we'd be risking infighting and arguments about where to settle with the other faction in the orc part "korgak" if we spent to much time deliberating about the settlement location.

Though i will relent, it might be more prudent to Brows and learn more about our situation.

Korgak and his entourage return from the hunt. Predictably, they set their own campfire away from the rest of the tribe and begin to prepare captured game. The orc whose decision saved us from defeat by the hands of pinkskins approaches them and starts to speak. "We have to put aside or differences and work together! The pinkskins may be the" His head falls off his shoulders, cut by one swift movement of Korgak's axe. Everyone knew this confrontation was about to happen but not many guessed it would be over so quick. You, Mikle, watch all of this from respectable distance. Korgak needs to be dealth with, fast, and obviously not by reasoning. You also know you cannot match him in pure combat prowess. Subterfuge, although not honorable, may work.

(I think Ill base the orcish civ around internal strife. For now, I removed Ritual. Combat will work like in Travian (http://forum.travian.us/showthread.php?t=75248 ). All attacks are considered raids unless you tell me otherwise. Each orc has base 2/2 attack/defense value. There are also bonuses for terrain, morale etc. )
