Just a few disclaimers or additional notes:

Your people have advanced to such a stage that from now own most Actions and Ideas may be more "advanced" given the current level of technology and the amount of people available.

We've entered into a time and position that allows for a lot of quick successive advancements and things to get completely out of hand extremely quickly, so don't be afraid to "think big".

The idea or name of them game is to try and advance our civilization to as far as possible and expand it as wide as possible around the world: Currently we're 'almost' out of the Neolithic and we've never even left our island.

>Roll 13/20
>Minimal Success

One of your Inland communities becomes a little inspired upon witness how both Wild Elephants and domesticated elephants can use their short straight tusks to up root trees and other foliage when foraging.. they wonder if they can use it to make field work easier: Turns out not really. Their Tusks are too short, their heads are too far up from the ground, but what they can be used for is easily uprooting Trees and getting rid of stumps. Your Garden plots expand and Trees become easier to transplant, but that's about it.... The true success is your people have learned Elephants are willing to do work +Domestication.

>Domesticate Seals
>Rolled 20/100
>Below quarter Failure

Seals as it turns out need fish, lots of fish to eat that you don't have access to and they're ornery, loud, fat, and floppy and at every angle it seems as though Cyclops and Seal life is just too different for the two to accurately co-exist with one another even on a domestication level.. They seemingly cannot be domesticated.

>Complete Success

Although you've managed to convince an Elephant to wade into the water with a net trailing behind it -and it did indeed succeed in it's efforts- The Elephant does not seem to be any more efficient than having a person do it: Elephants are only about shoulder height to a Cyclops stomach or waist and they cannot stand upright limiting them to the depth they can go... they also do not have hands. The elephant "netting" experiment retrieves minimal fish and mostly just picks up shellfish and debris.

>Request from the Sages

The Sages have come together and have made a public request to the families and villages: They wish for everyone to come together so they might craft a Megalith. A humongous structure made out of Stone that would be used to bring our island together as a community, increase the spiritual and magical awareness of the people, and act as a testament to the technological achievements of our people. They also say when pressed for further motivations that a Megalith would dramatically increase the ease and ability of not only teaching Magic but the availability and power of their magics as they understand them.

It would however require months of hard work and resources: Ropes, Wood, Man hours spent chiseling, etc.. etc.. The Sages say though they are more than willing to support the operation with their Hydromancy.

>+Overwhelming approval+

The people unanimously decide that this Monolith will whats best for their entire culture and all Cyclopes; whether inland or on the coast agree to contribute towards the commitment and construction of the Megalith project. The Sages are overwhelmed by the approval and they promise to give their 100%. One of them is moved by such faith and cries.

The first immediate action designated is that of the quarrying of the stone: Soft, black, volcanic rock is scouted out and divinated using rudimentary magics before it is measured, lined, and marked using flint scratches upon the wall of a volcanic hill. The entire process is simple, but it takes TIME: The stone is slowly chiseled away and Sages take turns using their most powerful Hydromancy techniques to smooth and eat away at the stone and with their combined forces a "soft" square shaped vague oblong of massive stone is eventually carved from the Volcanic rock wall... The following steps are proceedingly more dangerous and complicated.

Where the Megalith will eventually be placed: your people dig large holes in the ground that will allow the Stone to be fitted in like a peg in a puzzle piece, but the hard part is MOVING the stone without breaking it. The sages advice many trees to be felled, many ropes to be gathered, many strong arms and strong elephants to be called. Two teams: one on the hill, and one on the ground both with ropes; gently pull so as to lower the stone piller onto a "treadmill" of logs. All sages come together and using Hydromancy they wet the logs, the stone, and a path to the Construction sight so that the entire process is slicked and goes without a hitch: the stone being pushed, the logs being pulled out and put back under, and eventually the Stone making it to the construction "sight".

>part 2 incoming.

>>36331310

The Construction sight chosen is that of a grassy field where the Jungle receeds- just at the foot of the islands Volcanic Mountain. This was chosen not just for convenience of distance, but also due to the lack of clearing foliage.

With everyone pushing their weight the Stone eventually makes it to the sight of it's construction and the Final details are implemented: The Corners of the Megalith are smoothed down using Hydromancy and very patient chiseling so as to give it a more finished look and the entire face of the Monolith is painted and carved in the finest Hymns and Songs your people have produced as well as numerous Charts and Stylized characters of the Sun, Moon, Stars and our Ancestors.

Finnally: The bottom of the Megalith shallow "grooves" are shaped into it so and ropes are once again tied around it as the humongous stone is turned around on logs and it's "bottom" pointed into the large hole dug for it: Flat, Square, fitting stones are layed into the bottom and using Ropes pulled by Elephant and Cyclops man power the Monument is lifted and "gently" lowered into the hole and the pegs in the bottom of it snugly fit into the Square "seeting" stones.

The Hole is then simply filled with numerous other accompanying smooth fitting stones to add further structure and stability before filling in layers of dirt before completely burrying the bottom portion.

The Megalith now stands. Complete. This Towering pillar of Stone acting as a physical monument and symbol to the might and prowess of your united peoples.

Your people motivated by myths and rumors of outside forces and the notion of "other" island visitors: you begin simple constructions of stone that will act as Lights to your islands greatness. Stones are moved using Geomancy and Brute force to be placed and piled up around key points near communities on the Coast.

>Construct further stone upgrades towards the monolith

The monolith is truly amazing and inspiring and numerous communities are eager to expand upon it's construction to make it more intuitive to worship and community meetings or feasts: Further Stones are Quarried and Gathered and laid out in a large ring around the Monolith and in the Center a Great stone Table and Platform is placed so that people may practice public Feasts, Rituals, and Songs may be sung and played with instruments before crowds. It is extremely popular.

++Community, Culture, Moral, and Tribalism is extremely fucking high right now++

>>36331905
The communal ideas is an aspect of the stars, mageocracy is definately moon aspect, and a monarchy is a sun aspect.

I personally like all three aspects. We could end up with a Rome-like system where there is an emperor, plebiscites (like we just had with the monument), and a Senate/Judicial system.

But that's advanced, obviously. We should start by making plebiscites a traditional thing. Something no monarch would never abolish, as it would be an insult to the gods.

Your people are Hungry: Immigration is causing a strain on your island, wild game and foraging spots have begun to become scarcer and farther away from where people dwell and live.. Your people become motivated and through a little experimentation they've come up with a few new developments:

>+NEW CROPS: Cashew, Mango.

Currently your people have subsisted on growing a few Breadfruit trees and a couple of Sweet potatoe gardens, but with the knowledge and ability to trans-plant trees and the expanding need of feeding more mouths you've discovered and developed new crops to Grow. Cashews are a Nut, but also a fruit. Large, yellow, fruits the size of ones Nose with a crunch poisonous nut beneath it: the fruits spoil quickly and are eaten immediately, but the nuts can be roasted and are absolutely delicious. Mangoes are absolutely delicious, no further motivation is needed to grow them beyond how simply delicious they are.

>+STAPLE AQCUIRED: Plantains
Your people have also discovered the plaintain: A sizable, long, green, fruit that grows upon the Palm in large easily collected bunches. It is an incredible diverse, starchy, and workable fruit that can be used in a variety of ways: Fried, Baked, Boiled, or dried and turned into flour- it is also goes very well with fish, can be grown upon sand, and the leaves make excellent housing material as well as flavoring roasts.

>+Development: Forest Gardening.

Due to the availability of fruiting crops your people have inadvertently begun to rely on a majority of "tree" crops: They grow slowly, but eventually begin to produce ample amounts of nutritious and delicious foods as well as an abundant supply of Wood and Tinder that can be used for both industrial and personal use.

Easily captured and contained within Woven baskets the Jungle Fowl is absolutely delicious and goes well with almost anything, it's long tail feathers and plumage are beautiful and excellent bedding or accessory material and the eggs is regularly lays are abundant and interesting too cook with.

The Banana Rat.. is.. It is a Rat. It is a large rat roughly the size of ones Foot and it infests villages; coming in at night to feast upon discarded rinds, bedding, and any other plant matter or garbage.

With your shiny new boats the Sea beckons!

>Hunt the Various fishes and animals that dwell out in the open ocean
>Roll 7/20
>Complete failure. +Lucky 7+ +Interesting failure+

Your people have always been all to eager to hunt and have had a long tradition of hunting and gathering that remains today; the first thing they try with their new boats is to go out and hunt with them. It doesn't go over too well: The fish in the open waters are humongous and abundant, but they are also very fast- they swim past any attempts at spearing, you try to net one and it swims so hard and so fasts your Men fall out of the boat and lose the net in the process.... It is however not a complete failure: the men eventually haul themselves back into their boat and manage to save one of the nets... but are immediately decked by fish that violently ejects itself from the sea to become stranded within the boat.

It is a large, "stone-headed" like fish with beautiful yellow and green scales and a striking fin. Your men are quick to give it a good hard "thunk" on the head and they're amazed as it's colours fade as it dies. They bring it back home, but wonder if they should eat it or not.

>>36333320
>Drying and Salting Food
>70/100
>Above Average Success

Your Coastal people notice the sea salt that accumulates upon their boats and equipment when left out into the sun and they wonder if it could be applied to other things: They apply it as a seasoning and find it to be absolutely delicious, but not only that but it seems to also "preserve" foods creating a dried out version deprived of moisture. Your coastal people are quick to pick it up, but eventually even your inland communities begin drying pieces of meat and fruit.

>+FOOD PRESERVATION DISCOVERED: Your people will now "casually" stockpile food on their own accord.

Or does this not fit developmentally as we have yet to get into... proper scuffles yet?

>Weaponize Hydromancy
>Roll 4/100
>Complete and total failure.

A handful of your Sages get together to pontificate upon magic and it's doings and with the reports coming inland from the threat of Lizards that breath boiling water they become interested in how they themselves could replicate such a technique.

They know from their own clay pot cooking that water may be boiled by applying heat and with this line of thinking a few of them begining meditating, focusing, and thinking of new and innovative ways to try and "infuse heat within the water". Now, normal hydromancy takes water from either a "source" or from the very Air itself as we all know Water can come from the Sky.

This goes horribly wrong.
3 Sages while trying to develop a new technique: accidentally heat up the condensing water around and upon them and end up boiling themselves from the inside out and magically produce their own red skinned, torturous, screaming deaths.

1 sage manages to survive, but demands to be killed: when his fellow sages hesitat he screams allowed a horrible, desperate, aching cry to the sky before the benevolent spirits siphon the life from his body- his soul visibly wafting out from his eye, nose, mouth, and the palms of his hands and feet leaving him a completely stiff corpse.

>3 sages die. 5 sages become turned off from Magic perminantly.
>12 sages remain.

>>36333979

Your people continue to casually dress themselves in short tunics, skirts, made from more finished hides and plant fibers. but the real success?

>rolled 95/100
>Complete success

Great Hunters both on the land and the sea have been produced by your civilization and with such a strong focus on family, community, story telling- The idea of a "Warrior" the idea of an "Adventurer" or a "Hero" has been produced and inspired from the personal feats of exceptional (or lucky) individuals.

Each of your villages has produced an individual who answers the call: 3 Hunters from the Inland communities, 2 Fishermen from the coast communities.

>+Access to "Heroes"

Heroes are individuals like "Sages" who have devoted their lives to some aspect of life- in this case it is the constant thrill of adventure, to over come impossible odds, challenges, and do amazing feats that will bring honor and prestige to themselves, their communities and loved ones. Heroes may be commanded to go out and solve "specific" or more "adventerous" problems. You only have so many, but they usually produce more interesting results than just getting your normal population to do something.

((OKAY, now it's done. Do you guys want me to take your rolls now? Or with this new information have things changed?))

Your island does not have Bees, but your people do not know this. They do not know this because they do not what a Bee actually is: therefor, they are not disapointed by the absense of Bees. Your Gardeners know vaguely from first hand experience and observation that the Fruit you grow is pollinated by a handful of different sorts of small lizards, birds, flies, and fruit/pollen eating beetles and bats. Your Gardeners know ALL about Bats: hiding in Palm trees, squeaking loudly, ugly leathery wings, but deceptively adorable little faces.

Your Cyclopes Gardeners actually possess a mild phobia of Bats due to them occasionally flying out in great bunches when they try to harvest plantains: They reach out to pick bushels of plantains, but the Tree is short and brushes the tops of their heads; disturbing hanging bats and causing your people to panic as they fear the bats will fly into their eyes and braided hair.

One of your Heroes (1/5) organizes a band of Hunters and arm themselves with various supplies: Torches, Dried meat, nuts, fruit, as well as a host of spears, slings, clubs, weighted nets and ropes before finally arming themselves in the highest quality leather armor their villages could afford before heading out deep into the jungle to face one of the dreading "boiling" or "steaming" lizards so many hunters and explorers have told them about.

Their journey lasts a little less than a Month but they are finally able to encounter one of the creatures: as Long from snout to tail as the height of five men atop one another the creatures long clawed, bow-legged legs strode across the grassy fields it was prowling no-doubt for Elephants and Deer.. The creature was Black, speckled with blue and just a hint of yellow and seemed to have the tiniest of wings upon it's back that looked more like flippers, a long whip-like tail that waved back and forth and a pronounced throat that was currently deflated.

Your Hero and his party advanced quickly and as discreetly as possible- trying to get in one of the lizards blind spots behind it's body, but with it's keen sense of smell it immedietly noted them and spun around with unexpected speed of a creature so large. The Hero beckoned the Hunters to throw their weighted nets upon the creature to try and immediately catch it, but it proved fruitless as the Lizard shredded them with it's long curved claws. It was at this point the Creatures throat began to inflate, steam visibly fuming from it's nostrils and our Hero yelled everyone to scatter and find cover; before the immense reptile spat out an uninterrupted torrent of hot, steaming, boiling water.

One of the Hunters though was quick and managed to circle around the great lizard- noticing how it could not whip it's head around as quickly when expelling water. Now behind it, the Hunter notched and readied a throwing spear and flung it deep into the back of the creature- the lizard's spray becoming interrupted by the sudden piercing of it's hide.

Your Hero and the rest of the Hunting team managed to take this open opportunity to lunge forward with their own close range obsidian spears and connect a killing blow to the neck of the Boiling Lizard... Not without harm though as upon the creatures neck being pierced: boiling water came pouring out, mildly burning red the legs of a few of the hunters.

The hurried home though and reported the location Dead lizards body: Villagers and Hunters were quick to go forth and prep the body before bringing it's long hide, ample meat, and bones back home.

>rolled 20/20
>Complete success.

A Few dozen of your people take off with dried goods, tools, ropes, pots of fermented fruit alcohol, and a couple of cage Baskets containing Chickens and Rats and venture off sworn to colonize the Northern Most Island: paddling through the open waters in between the reefs it is a short voyage of only a few days, but the waves are large and persistent.

You see the small island come up onto the Horizon before you eventually make it onto land: Jungle, Sand, Beaches, the same black Volcanic rock in the distance- everything seems pretty much the same old you've come to expect from home, there's even a small budding coastal village:

>+New Architecture idea+
These people don't actually live in the same style of houses as you: These Cyclops prop their homes upon stilts before the frames of their homes are constructed and woven together using plant fibers and finally finished off normally with Dried Grass and Palm leaf roofing. Whats unusual though is the frames are not entirely made out of wood, but out of a new material you hadn't considered: Bamboo. Bamboo actually grows quite abundant on your islands, but you had never thought of using it. The locals SWEAR by it.

Luckily however they recognize a few of your intrepid explorers as relatives and there are few if any language barriers: If anything the locals are glad you've come so they can exchange goods, stories, and spouses/expanded dating options.

>Further Domestication of the elephant.
>Roll 19/20
>Complete Success

Cyclops have herded Elephants for as long as anyone can remember and it isn't surprising: they're sociable, easily trained, provide lots of meat, ivory, and hides and it doesn't hurt that they're so large either. You've spent so much time together and Bred them for so long that they've become an officially "domesticated" animal and have discreet differences than wild ones: All around a bit stouter, a slight wider variation in length and thickness, and a higher chance of producing two calves as well as significantly more milk.. which you've begun to wonder about.

>Establish a Ferry service between the Northern Island and Home island.
>Roll 19/20
>Complete success +Mutually beneficial

The Two islands are honestly quite eager to begin trading goods, stories, feasting together, exchanging livestock and even crops and everyone finds it quite refreshing that both tribes have such a strong beneficial and inclusive sense of community. Both Small and Large Vessels now regularly row between the two islands as anything and everything is exchanged- the two islands quickly assimilating with one another as intermarriage becomes inevitable.

>+15 Additional population. Current population: 145

>Send Sages over to new Island for public and religious projects
>Roll 19/20
>Complete Success

With Trading and boats regularly rowing between the two islands some of your sages eventually make the trip themselves to meet these new people: They're Star Worshippers by habit, quite adapt Hydromancers, their sages exchange information and pleasantries over fermented fruit alcohol and a fish roast with plantains. When the topic of "Megaliths" is discussed the local Sages walk our own sages over to the Small Erected Stones they have lining where the Shores meet the jungles. They're slightly taller than a Man, but there are many of them and the compliment the shore quite nicely.

You already have Bamboo growing on your island. Bamboo grows on "all the islands", but it just happens to grow a little bit better on this island.

Our island never really considered using Bamboo for various reasons.

>>36336851

Not really. Remember how in fantasy, all the warmongering races with empires enslaving others and espousing superiority all eventually fall to rebellion and revert back a couple of ages in progress?

Let's not go that route, if we want to be great. Obviously, we need to respond to hostility, but if those two-eyes can build boats, then they could be reasoned with, because surely only the intelligent can make those.

Maybe have a celebration in honor of this new peaceful union between our two peoples?

Also of note. Do we have a name for the Sun? An actual, personable name?

Because once we advance a bit more, we could start to try a little Light-type magic, or just divine magic in general.

>High roll. RARE EVENT.

Something.. something unusual has happened: A new animal has been discovered, but none of your people are quite sure or not what to exactly make of it? It is a small strange 'animal'- from it's large round beak to it's lizard-like tail it stretches from the longest finger on the palm of ones hand almost to about the Wrist.. making it just a bit larger than a Banana Rat. They appear as though a cross between a Rat and a Jungle bird: possessing a large nut-cracking powerful beak, with grubby, grabbing, greedy little scaled rat-like hats that end in bird-like nails.. with their bodies covered in a patchy mess of vividly colourful blue and red feathers that end where their fat reptilian tail begins.

No one knows what to immediately make of them: they seem to enjoy stealing things, hiding things, some people swear they've heard them imitation speech, but everyone can agree that there seems to be a sudden explosion of them on both islands -seemingly out of nowhere- and that they've become a nuisance with all the various annoying tricks they pull.

>Complete and utter success.

With a Hero at the head of the expedition you're finally successful in mapping out the entirety of the "main island" and find that to go from one point to the other as fast as possible takes little less than a week on foot and that roughly speaking the island could potentially house maybe twice as many Cyclops as it currently does (which is around 135'ish- the northern island containing about 40'ish I think.) You do however finally discover two new things:

The unusual creature (!Tapirs!): They are about halfway to the knee height at their tallest, fat, solitary and readily consume a wide variety of Vegetation and Ground Fruit- they are indeed very delicious. More so than even Banana Rat or Elephant.

>>36337599
>>36337545
>Roll for "impress them".
>roll 9/20
>roll 9/100

Your Stories come off so utterly tripe, eye-rolling worthy (which is quite impressive when a Cyclops) that everything suggested after in terms of "heroic" or "amazing feats" fall on deaf ears and even your own people who aren't directly involved suffer from second hand embarrassment.

The Feast goes so absolutely poorly that one of the more bitter attendants plays a revenge prank: sending back to the Main island a Basket cage of Parrot-Rats passed off as Banana Rats.

You try to contain the Rats, pen them up, capture them somehow, but they're not only incredibly difficult to capture- but master escape artists: Chewing through weave Baskets and Cages with their huge beaks, digging underneath or crawling out of any -no matter how deep- stone pens you place them in.

Your sages enter into their caves to try and commune with the Earth in an effort to try and contain the Menace of these Parrats on both islands, but the song of the Earth is muddle- muddled by an unheard and outspoken foreign voice.. It doesn't sing like that of a Cyclops and your Sages know the Parrats known no songs to sing.... The only possible answer left is that of a third party chorus? But who?

>Investigate, interrogate, and learn about the Parrats.
>Roll 26/100, Parrats rolled 57/100
>Below Quarter Failure.

Your people are eager to be rid of the Menace of Parrats(kobolds) and immedietly begin trying to research and learn more about these unusual creatures, but it seems they're constantly one step ahead of all of your best efforts. You try to look for them, their dwellings, but all you find are their abandoned nests: Round, Grass woven "basket nests" they hang from trees- nothing but feathers and feces left behind.

>Investigate the Volcano
>Roll 16/20
>Above Average Success

A few of your Sages from both islands find the time in between their studies to finally get around to investigating the Volcano you've had on your island ever since the dawn of time. It's never actually erupted or even smoked and many people have assumed it to be dormant. It "is" and it also "isn't", as upon further inspection at the top of the peek there exists a noticeable heat radiating from the rock and at the peek of the hill, peering into the volcano; there lies brief glimpses of lazy hot black lava bubbling with occasional flashes of Red and Flames. Your Sages pontificate upon it for a while and come to the general conclusion the Volcano must just "pour out" somewhere underground- perhaps into the ocean, otherwise it would have overflowed upon us long ago.

You try to communicate with them, but quickly find they are not capable of Cyclops speech and instead spend the entire interaction mimicking various words and bobbing their heads up and down while swerving them all around.

Tempers rise to an unbearable level and your party begins attacking the Parrats in anyway possible: spears, slings, uprooting and pulling down entire trees, throwing and pitching large stones- Further more when your Men go into chase after the Parrats they slip upon their shit and fall in the mud.
The Parrats flee into the jungle; swinging from tree to tree and gracefully leaping from the branches as they shout out, "SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT" mimicking the one Cyclopes who fell over. They are so busy fleeing that they run out of the open jungle and into the grassy fields: There is a Boiling Lizard there. It makes sport of running them down and gobbling them up like Cashews.

Your Sages not suffering muddy minds from communing with the earth take the next most obvious step and seek advice from the Sun and the Stars. They first begin by communing with the sun when it at it's brightest and hanging it highest. It voice is loud, boisterous- it sings a song so loud that it's almost difficult to decipher, but your sages make out a few notes and phrases:

"SPRY LIKE DEER, MY HOW QUEER THEY'LL SEEM TO YOU. THEY HIDE BECAUSE THE WEIGHT OF YOUR SHADOW COULD CRUSH THEM." The sun seems to remain neutral in these affairs, but he seems to be foreshadowing an unknown party- nothing your sages hadn't already assumed.

Your next session begins at a later night when the stars and the skies are at their clearest and all sages can gather at the Megalith's Stage to sing a song to the stars so they might return a beautiful chorus; clear and composed by the generations of ancestors and spirits before you. Their song hums, it beckons, and is pleasing to the ears and sounds out a rich harmony that even non-sages come forthto listen to.

Their song reveals the following:
"You've already known them once before- do you think they had so conveniently forgotten you? In time you'll meet them soon enough, but perhaps -if fate will allow it- we'll provide some direction? A thick wall of jungle awaits you; we've seen it before, unlike anything you've ever encountered. Meet them in their homes on the endless island- they've never had to host "guests".
