What I presume clan magic expenditure will be this year. It's a pretty silly stock we have there. The exploration omen makes exploring a very good idea. Give me a direction.

Sorry for disappearing for a while, between work and getting sick I haven't felt up to it. Should be playing regularly starting Friday.

Here's a list of clan assets.

Shrines:
Barntar--Vigor
Elmal--Sun, Shield
Ernalda--Bless Crops
Humakt--Truesword
Issaries--Silvertongue
Lhankor Mhy--Literacy
Maran Gor--Earthblood
Orlanth--Rain
Tarard Riel--Watchfulness
Urox--Smite Chaos
Vinga--Fyrdwomen
Wind Spirits--N/A

Blessings that might be useful on a permanent basis: Humakt (Battle Luck OR Morale), Issaries (Market), Uralda (Calf Blessing).

Treasure: Parentheses are where the treasure came from.

Bag of Winds (heroquest)
Bullroarer (Exploration)
Eurmal's Shield (Trade)
Eye Mirror (Adventurers)
Godbone (Adventurers)
Grey Net (Exploration)
Gustbran's Wheel (Heroquest, godsrealm)
Humakt's Raven Banner (Exploration)
Klanth of Orlanth (Heroquest, Orlanth and Aroka)
Necklace of Axes (traded with dwarves)
Quivin's Torc (traded with a tribe)
Red Leather Mask (Adventurers)
Shimmering Cloak (Adventurers)
Silver Dragon (Exploration, dragonnewts)
Splendorbread (Heroquest, Orlanth and Aroka)
Vargast's Ring (Trade)

Put points in Hunting. I'm curious as to how much of an effect there is.

Sure, why not.

Events for the year? We'll want to explore the tula, explore Dragon Pass, run Lhankor Mhy empowerment for Bargaining, send emissaries to the Mule Deers and learn The Making of the Storm Tribe.

I don't quite know what's going on here. Our Hunters seem to have gone up in number and I sure don't remember assigning more. Is this an automatic thing?

Regardless, I'll start sending gifts to the Mule Deers momentarily.

The trader has finally showed up. She actually sells several treasures, and sometimes will appear multiple times, with different treasures.

The whirlwind is powerful, but is single use. Orstalor has Excellent Bargaining (and I don't think being a Trickster can screw us over in this event).

Trade it for 60. Dicker.

How many cows do we cut for Orlanth?

Orstalor is making up a heroquest here. Since Glorantha runs on faith and stories can rewrite history, actually performing his version of the heroquest would have interesting consequences.

ALL THE COWS

>>28531178
uhhhhh 20
we can get more from the greyhounds

>>28531178
7 cow'd be plenty, I think. 14 if you wanted to be safe.

No event, so give me a second action for Earth season. We might consider someone through Lhankor Mhy Finds the Truth to boost their Bargaining; either Kentvent or Elusu.

Kentvent's getting old due to the last Heroquest he was on, right? Shouldn't it be Elusu?

I apologize for doing this, but are any of you guys experts at this game? I'm doing an Elmal hard mode run and I've ran into a problem with sheep.

Milk-eyes won't come any more and its been 35 years since I last saw him. I wish I could start a tribe without that assholes event. My only other option is to join the Colymer tribe with my save event that I got and I'd rather not do that.

I don't think you can join the Colymar. Not sure what the problem could be either, you might have just broken the game.

No, you can join them through an event were they try to strong-arm you into giving them tribute. But with a high custom skill you can convince them to let you join their tribe.

I think I'm just going to restart though. Good luck with your game though.

The quest went well. I tried winning both contests in the middle, but wound up losing both. Not sure if a higher stat line would help, but it IS possible to win both contests.

The Old Owls are calling in a favor, asking for details about a heroquest. They're one of our allies, and future tribe members.

Our general reputation is. Relations with specific clans isn't directly related to that.

After arranging to meet with a clan, you approach them with a list of demands and concessions unique to that clan. You have to give enough concessions to balance your demands in order for them to attend the tribal meeting.

At the meeting, you convince the other clans to stand by the agreements you formed with them. Once that's done, you elect a king who rules until death. There's a lot of politicking to be had. It's a lot of fun if you've got leaders with the right stats (and kingmaking powers from the Storm Tribe quest).

Nah. We've got a massive food surplus, one good year (not this year) will be enough to cover us for five. We also trade for food, which happens behind the scenes.

Any other questions? I'll be around for a bit while I eat.
