Rules:
The first roll after the turn report is locked in as the result for that turn.
The results of rolls have the following effects:
100: You tell the universe to shut up and sit down
90-99: Critical success; the best result physically possible.
60-89: Success; you accomplished what you set out to do.
40-59: Neutral; you accomplished less than you hoped but made your next attempt easier(+10 to next attempt)
10-39: Failure; you did not succeed in your objective but lost only time.
2-9: Critical Failure, you failed so spectacularly that you cause harm to the tribe or make the task even harder to do( -10 to future rolls for this task on top of specific penalties)

Fire. Fire everywhere. One of the Grey came to believe that if the awesome power of fire could harnessed, it would make an unstoppable weapon. He was right. The idea had been to ignite a small projectile and then throw it in a sling of sorts. It worked.

Try to stop the fire with magic from the lake
The first roll this turn is...83
Having been saved by the lake before, the great shaman Wuld once again turned to that which appeared to be their salvation. Running to the lakes' shores, he quickly entered a trance in order to appeal to the spirits of the lake. What he found surprised him. As he began his preparations for the spirit-walk, a translucent, robed woman suddenly appeared in the centre of the lake and began to walk towards him. ''Twice now you have asked for my blessing, mortal, and twice I have granted it. If I should grant it a third time, you and your kin bust become mine." The voice of the spirit echoes the sound of rushing water.

1: Yes

>>21518515
I'm guessing we don't have time to ask exactly what being her entails.

>>21518602
I can only say this because you've said it so well.

>>21518602
This is a pact with a major spirit. All the spiritual knowledge of the shaman tells him that they will be changed by it. No way around it. It's why there's a choice here.

Yes,
Wuld immediately accepts the bargain. The instant he finishes speaking he feels a rush of power fill him. He can see nothing and hears only the the sound of a mighty waterfall. Once his vision clears the spirit is gone. Instinctively, he knows how to halt the flames. He calls for the storms. Dark storm clouds assemble in the sky with ridiculous speed and announce the beginning of torrential rains. The fire is no longer a threat, but the tribe must take shelter within the ruins as the cairns provide insufficient against such powerful precipitation.

yeah, going to build some shelter to survive the heavy rain and winter. Try to make it from the trees we found around in the ruins

>>21519051
I say using our upgraded spiritual status we use our new connection to the water goddess and the super sword to carve out homes from large blocks of rock, making them essentially glorified caves with much better airflow. This allows the houses to be connected and to share heat from fires built inside chambers with holes in the roof to allow smoke out. In addition some dwellings will be setup as store rooms.

Construction, enchanted minoan complex held together by demon magic
The first roll this turn is...100

The approach of winter promised, as always, death and hunger. Unsurprisingly, the Grey found this fact rather unpleasent and unsatisfying. Hunger was realetively simple to stave off, any difficulties that occured were circumstantial rather than systemic. The cold, however, was a different matter. Every year, many of the tribe were struck down by the icy bite of winter.

Taking inspiration from the ruins around them, the tribe began construction on something not seen for many an age. A great dwelling which could house the entire tribe and protect them from all external threats. Cutting bricks of marble from ancient monuments and statuary, they began building this massive complex. At first, they tought the idea impossible as they had no idea how to hold these exotic building blocks together but they cult of flame found a solution. Reasoning that if water had a great spirit fire must have one as well, they attempted to invoke said great spirit. They missed their mark. A great demon wreathed in flame appeared in the dreams of the first among the fire cultists an informed him of a way of binding the bricks together if he and his comrades would but tell others his name: that name, was Wrath.

Therefore, the Great Grey Halls came to be held together with this gift of daemon magic. Construction was almost supernaturally fast.

Did we just bind the souls of unknown creatures to create our home? that is pretty fucking awesome.

6 - I support starting a religion system based on balance, to stop any future religion fights in our clan.

We believe water as a force of life, but too much will drown us, or freeze us. We believe Fire also to be a source of life, for the heat it brings, but again too much will burn us.

We must know that balance between those will lead us to greatness. To celebrate our new religion, we will go on a hunt for food, and sacrifice some to the flame, and some to the water.

tl;dr - found religion based on flame and water, go hunting for food. burn some food for wrath demon and drown some in lake for lake spirit.

The first roll this turn was...85
With the emergence of two great spirits, it became immediately apparent that the followers of these great beings had to be appeased. It is in light of this judgement that it was decreed that both water an fire were the progenitors of life. Fire begins life and protects from the cold while water maintains life and shields from the heat of the flames. An so it came to be that the song of ice and fire was spoken.

Technology, Improve armaments
The first roll of the turn is...57
The rage of winter leaves much time for contemplation. It is during these long moments of thought that of the Greys' thoughts turn to the hunt. Said hunt is slow and often dangerous, especially in winter, if one desires more than the customary rabbit. It is during the rumination of this thought that this imaginative hunters' mind turns to the flexible trees that grow in vast numbers throughout the ruins. Perhaps wood from said trees could provide a useful weapon. (+10 to developing bows)

Let's start with agriculture before we get another winter eating rabbits.

>>21521313
But eating rabbits is part of your culture! What would your ancestors think of you if you stop eating rabbits?

Bind the thunder to the bow, the lighting to the bowstring and the wind itself to our arrows.

>But eating rabbits is part of your culture! What would your ancestors think of you if you stop eating rabbits?

Then we need to make sure rabbits never run out! Start breeding rabbits in pens.

So consensus; rabbit herding?

does that mean we want rabbit pens then? so architecture

Water worshiping and rabbit eating

Best culture ever

The first roll of the turn is...47

Hunting rabbits is rather unrewarding to the growing pride of the hunters of the Grey. Despite that fact, most people still like the option of eating rabbit. Perhaps if the rabbits could be caged? A group of hunters begin building pens that they believe will suffice to hold the delicious creatures. The only thing left to do is to catch the mouth-watering lunches on legs.

Weapons technology, hunting bows
The first roll of the turn is...93+20

The great hunter of the Grey wanted the new weapons to be strong and flexible. It is with this in mind, the hunter bound strips of yew, strung with sinew and reinforced it with the horn of an antelope he had kept as a keepsake. This weapon, a composite bow would be of great use to the tribe. When he had completed his work, he prayed to the spirits to bless his work and, to his surprise, it was not on of the present guardians of the Grey who answered his call. In fact, being a hunter and less than learned in the ways of the spirits, he had no idea which spirit might have answered his call. All he knew, was the the bow he had made for himself was now silver and that whenever he drew an arrow, he could hear whispers.
