My people, to me! It is NOT the Sacred Time, because that image limit stopped us from finishing our typical two years per thread. It's currently the second half of Dark season, 1357; our raid for the year was halted by accursed ice demons.

Oh, praise Orlanth. I've just gotten into this game, and can I just ask why Heroquests are so stupidly hard? I sat for THREE HOURS today, trying to get my chieftain to become better through the quest "Orlanth and"... some or the other, you know, with rain-gods and what not. I never succeeded once. Why? I have a Trickster on the ring, I spent my two points in quests... What am I doing wrong? It's worked before, I know which answers I should use.

This is where we stand right now. It being Dark season, our actions are limited to in-tula, and raiding. We're trying to keep the farmers' morale up, but I leave our choice of action to you.

>>28825720
It also depends on your questers scores. I'm not sure how to improve a noble's score enough to do a quest if he can't do quests to improve his scores.
>>
>>28825725
Could we try raiding again? Usually we can beat the ice demons at least once a year.

Such is the price of warring against the Jenestni.

>>28825720
There are a couple of things you can do. First make sure that you've got someone with Excellent Magic (minimum) on your clan ring. The treasure Vinga's Comb empower devotees of Orlanth as well as Vinga, and the Lightbringer's Scarf makes questing easier for Orlanth and a few others. Try calling in favors to help with the ritual, and see if you can learn further secrets of the quest by sacrificing to mysteries.

Perseverance mostly. Check the early threads of this on suptg, it was a constant stream of bad news and losses until we hit a certain point and started winning. If you need an early edge, learn the Bless Crops, Truesword, and Silvertongue rituals, they're the best in the game.

I learned from reading the King of Dragon Pass Let's Plays on the LParchive. After that it was two days and six false starts before I had a grasp on the gameplay. A starter guide is an interesting thing, I might make one myself going forward.

It was a budget release with no US distribution, so the only way to get a copy for years was to mail the developers directly. GOG gave the game its first real platform. Since then it's seen modest sales. It should be recognized as the precursor to Paradox Studios' games, but sadly it came out before going viral on the internet was possible. Spread the word, it's got an iOS version with extra stuff.

Troll hating clans get a magic bonus for attacking Cragspider. Clans with Earthblood benefit too; poor relations with trolls get them attacking you in Dark season. Trolls attack in massive number, so killing them nets you a wonderful bonus to fields.

Since the PC version is bugged and the trolls can't set off their apocalypse event, there are no downsides to sending old or useless or redundant nobles to die attacking Cragspider.

Number 1 problem with Elmal: The bonuses therein are terrible. No treasures, thanes are never the problem, not-sucking at war wins you horses when the Horse-Spawn attack, and strengthening your leader leads to boosts in Magic, Combat and Leadership--all of which you need to have near-Heroic to succeed in the quest.

I guess tears, since those aren't exactly limited. The myth doesn't mention Elmal needing any help to get back together, but maybe it doesn't work in a quest without a little help. Regardless, Elusu is awesome enough, we should give as little help as is necessary, so tears.

Actually, tears is worst but free. I think it goes treasure>magic>horses>tears>nothing

Though this one's kind of funny, because Elusu is king of a tribe, and soon to be king of dragon pass, so he has no business being loyal to anyone or turning down kingships. But let's pick 3 because heroquesting is about pretending to be someone less awesome than Elusu.

Elmal gave the Teller of Lies a horse that he said contained his soul, but was in fact all of Elmal. When the Teller of Lies ingested the horse, he ingested Elmal, and from within Elmal could finally recognize the shape of his enemy.

And like the truth destroys a lie, and something fills nothing, Elmal overcame the Teller of Lies, who was Nothing.

I went ahead and finished it because this is a bitch ass trick.

The raid failed. I didn't bother screencaping it because this proc'd immediately after.

You might remember us encountering the Black Horse Troop's outriders many, many threads ago. They have come to take us up on the offer of hospitality we made. He likes us, and offers us a boon. Choosing to use Sir Ethilrist has... consequences.

There IS great opportunity here, but all I will say that generosity is its own reward.

Pick one. They're unique.

>>28848632
No, just that most of the other options have horrific consequences. Thane training gets most of the people you send away killed, and there's a good chance the survivors will choose to stay, asking for raiding help utterly destroys a clan of your choice, but the way the Black Horse Troop does it is terrible, and the BHT go around bragging about how they did it on your suggestion (reducing your reputation to Stickpicker status immediately and probably starting tribal strife and making your allies think twice about the alliances), and the Orlanth stories he shares are so utterly alien that just hearing them causes a schism in the clan.

Treasure trading gets you a chance at one of these treasures, but asking for nothing gets you your choice for free.
