>>39216770
We need to do some experiments. We have quite a large tribe now, so...

First, we restrain
>2 younglings
>2 adolescents
>2 adults
With chains, possibly in a deep-ass pit that we can later use as an arena for trials, recreation, etc (so we should dig a pit and make chains)

Then, we insert a tooth in each and watch the results. We don't want them killing each other, but we need to see if this power can be controlled.

Furthermore, we need to see the effects of Sleep on those with the teeth in them

>>39216900
>>39216770
Also, we should test the teeth and Sleep on sheep and the Awaken for good measure

Rolled 69 (1d100)

Woo boy. Your luck has not gotten better

>35

Your people dig a massive hole in the ground, as deep as four minotaurs standing on top of one another. Eight volunteers are sent down. Two younglings, two adolescents, 2 adult, 2 Awaken, and some sheep

>Younglings!

The instant the Tooth pierces the skin, a unholy roar is heard from the chords of the young one. His body twists and turns into something similar to Alagor when he transformed. Though he is unable to break the chains, and the stone fists don't seem to come with the tooth. He comes to his senses standing over the corpse of his fellow youngling.

>PART TWO INCOMING

>>39216965
Damn it

>>39216965
No! No! We got 69!!!!

>>39216965
The adolescents are able to "tank" the transformation, and keep some of their senses and rationality. This however does not stop them from turning. The chains barely manage to grip to the walls of the pit as they fight to be free. No one is hurt, but they soon pass out.

>>39216984
>>39216928
CIVVIE SEE THIS BEFORE YOU WRIGHT THE NEXT PLZ

>>39216984
>Forgot part three.
>Dammit

The adults manage to tank the transformation like the adolescents, however they appear to retain full rationality and free thought. One is even able to communicate, though his vocal chords are having a hard time doing so.

>Effects discovered!

>On children, berserking is not only an option, it is the only option.

>On adolescents, they are able to stay calm for a moment, but soon fly into a rage

>On adults, it's concluded that berskerking is triggered by sheer anger, as shown by Alagor. Otherwise they are much stronger, and can still communicate clearly, but have a twisted form.

>69

>HOT DAMN LUCKY NUMBERS!

>>39217040
what are the effects on the Awaken and the Sheep?

>>39216928
On the Awaken, the tooth barely manages to pierce the cold stone that makes up their bodies. However, after finding a joint, the Awaken are found to start to glow, and become much stronger and achieve Minotaur level intelligence as a result. They also get shiny little bits of ore running down their arms.

>Awaken effect discovered!

>When pierced by The Tooth, they become stronger and gain our level of intelligence!

When the tooth is tested on sheep, it is found that their wool and meat are in much higher quality than their normal brethren. However, they appear to be more, aggressive, when used, so whether or not you wish to use it is up to you.

>Hyper sheep discovered!

>>39217072
Have a group of improved Awaken tend to the sheep. We need to acquire more teeth to continue upgrading the Awaken and sheep. We should also breed the hyper sheep and see if their children are hyper as a result without wasting more teeth

I wanna get in on this. Will I be crazy lost if i don't read the part 1 thread?

Then we need to send out 2/3 of the improved Awaken and some geomancer/stone warrior Minotaurs to hunt some Whites for their teeth.

A farmhand manages to take the tooth from the desk of one of the elders and heads out to the fields. He was hoping to use it on the sheep, but tripped up and accidentally stabbed a cabbage with it. The earth quakes as the little sprout bursts forth from the Earth as a massive tree! Soon, he can see little bulbs of cabbages and odd red nuts growing on the leafy branches!

Not knock out. Rip out. With flat, modified clippers = pliers. Multiple of them. We need at least 2 more teeth, so we can have 3 total: 2 for sheep to breed natural hyper sheep, 1 for a Awaken to lead a party of geomancers/stone warriors to hunt Whites for their teeth. We are not afraid anymore.

(Hero name, you decide) had always been fascinated by fire. He loved how it's embers would provide warmth to any passing creature. How it's flames would dance and kiss the night.

The magic surged the fire, to life, and though the fire had gone out, he had found a new friend...

The council, worried about Munhal, sends the militia to check on him. Inside the shit-stained walls of what once was a noble house, the desecrated body of what we think was Munhal was found. It had a picture drawn in blood on the wall, with a Minotaur being chased and taunted by the spirits.

>PYROMANCY TIME!

>>39217486
>>39217463
Since I think Munhal is dead, I think Drozen, Keeper of Sleep Should be the new leader.
>>39217512
I was right

>>39217512
Thank you.

See? By the Old Ways, Munhal has the wrath of the ancestors against him anyways.

Our new leader must be a shaman... One with magic who is close to the spirits. He must also be physically strong.

Also, I propose a new law with the discovery of pyromancy:

Ahdrag goes out to the untilled fields. There, an elegant and beautiful flame elemental stands before him in her full blazing glory.

>Tonight, you will learn.

Ahdrag has a natural draw to fire, and he is soon able to command it as a normal Minotaur would command stone!

>Lavamancy because fuck it

Ahdrag thinks for a moment, then creates a massive ball of flames, then throws a might hunk of earth into it. He is able to control it!

>Ahdrag the Flaming has been named and ordained!

>Pyromancy discovered!

>Lavamancy discovered!

>A regency is declared!

Currently, Drozen, Keeper of the Sleep, and Ahdrag the Flaming are the prime canidates for the Monarch, with the loser being the apprentice.

>CURRENT VOTES: 1 for Drozen

>>39217605
Ahdrag can't be risked. He must pass on his art. His knowledge is worth far more than his body. At least until he grooms another master of the art.

He should be a spiritual advisor and Drozen's apprentice. Also, he needs to start teaching his craft NOW. Geomancy can be left to their stony brethren, the Awaken. Now, minotaurs learn to master fire... And magma :D

>>39217626
If the vote wasn't mine, I vote Drozen
Plus, Ahdrag, If not the Leader, Is Leader of the Militia

>>39217626
Drozen is older. Ahdrag is still green. One day he will lead. Now, he will commune with the spirits and guide the people spiritually, not politically

>>39217605
>>39217638
Two for Drozen

>Majority rules

Drozen is ordained as our new king, with Ahdrag being the court Pyromancer and chief spiritual adviser to the king. Ahdrag has also been chosen as chief of the guard, with. Alagor is chosen to be Drozen's personal guard

>>39217646
But that puts him at risk. He needs to be teaching the younguns pyromancy and lavamancy. He don't have time for scouting or leading

>>39217660
Alagor gets on the personal gaurd. but Ahdrag deciles the position of Chief of the Guard, Wanting to Teach other of his Power, And defend Drozek

Maybe it is time we formed a school then?
The Awaken struggle with their intelligence and we have a lot of magic that needs to be taught.

We will benefit from smarter Awaken and more magic users.

>>39217663
>>39217668
Some people have expressed, concern, at Ahdrag's sudden choice as chief of the militia. He does, after some have pointed out, have no combat experience and doesn't know his men. He is instead placed firmly in the court, teaching any willing the way of fire

This. I also motion for Ahdrag to show his great power to the people to show his closeness with the spirits. They have endured hardships and need hope.

He goes to the village center and, using his lavamancy, sculpts a great obsidian monument to the village founders, Muhdal and Drozek, in the form of a statue. Drozek, the Warrior, holds a great warhammer. Muhdal the Chieftain holds a staff to show his wisdom

Ahdrag makes a show of it, twisting the magma to and fro until he has sculpted a perfect statue

One of the younger Minotaurs sees the sleep as a Gateway to power, and hammers away at the glowing mineral day after day and night after night. This has no effect, but it did ruin the mineral. Frustrated he grabs an Awaken in a rage and shatters his arm with a mighty blow!

>An Awaken has been crippled for life!

>>39217984
It seems like laws for punishment would be different if there was a murder, though.
The trial by combat thing seems like a way to preserve you and your ancestors honor.
You lose the right to fight honorably when you commit a dishonorable crime. I say that because the rule
>when a decision is being made and two parties cannot agree, a vote shall be held. If the vote comes up even, then there will be combat between two champions
Implies it as a way to settle differences
while every other law just mentions how shitty you are for doing stuff like murder or theft, but they don't mention a punishment.

That is why I think banishment or execution should be feasible punishments for certain crimes. Every single thing isn't duel-worthy, and every criminal doesn't necessarily DESERVE a chance to duel the person(s) he has wronged.

Especially since winning basically means you get off scot-free. Trials by combat are not there to let people get off if they happen to be able to beat other people up, remember what Munhal did, after all? He was able to overpower TWO people, but that doesn't mean it was right for him to do that.
The trial by combat is an honorable way for honorable clan-mates to settle their differences. Those who have committed a crime (and it can be proved they did) don't get the chance to "fight for their life" because they didn't give their victims that chance, did they?

Now that that's been dealt with, the afflicted Awaken will just be a hypersheep shepherd the rest of his life.

Let's get to breeding hypersheep

Oh, and let's send out a hunting party with an improved Awaken, several more Awaken (cuz they don't need food and the cold don't bother them) and a few Tauren geomancers/geowarriors. Like 1/3 of the party are minotaurs.

Send them out to hunt the Whites for teeth and talking skulls. each Minotaur is expected to bring back at least one skull. They need to prod for weaknesses to learn how to fight them better,

>>39218060
I agree with this. Though his crime was a dishonorable act, his execution (Let's face it that's what it was) was justified. This is not the solution to everything, and we can hammer out the details in your suggestions later. Also welcome back from the land of the Archived!

The idea of trial by combat is that the ancestor spirits will favor he who should be the victor.

Also, exile in the tundra is essentially murder anyways, and if you kill people for stealing and committing minor offenses, that's a pretty fucked up society.

We don't do jail here in Drozek. Jail just takes resources that should be allotted elsewhere. Not every crime committed deserves execution. If they win combat, they don't need to kill the opposing champion, just subdue him.

Then again, maybe the three of us should re-visit the policy on punishment. I vote for this way because the Ancestors are the judge, jury, and executioners.

And exile is arguably worse, considering it is NOT a quick death

The Pyromancers fires ember in the freezing, desolate wastelands of the Tundra. A watch has been set up, with (Awaken Hero name) as this night's watchman.

We can hammer it out later. I was just giving my interpretation of the laws as I saw them. I think that having appropriate punishment to fit the crimes is important, so maybe for crimes like theft they will have other punishments (hard labor? cut off the hand? pay a fine?)

As for the ancestor thing. I, personally, would rather not make it a "it's the whim of the ancestors who win" as that basically renders a trial by combat pointless. Its not about who is strongest, it's about who is the most pious, or whatever the hell the ancestors are feeling that day. Making a system completely based on who "deserves to win" in the ancestors eyes is really constraining and It doesn't fit the theme of Minotaurs in general.

Also I like it when religion is more nuanced and mysterious rather than a direct "oh yeah, the ancestors choose who wins a trial by combat"
Maybe the shamans of our clan will claim that every great victory is dictated by the ancestors, but that doesn't make it necessarily true. (and I would actually rather it NOT be)

The Awaken stare down the White Beings, unsure of what to make of them. One steps forward, looking dead in the eyes of Grak.

>What are you?

A mighty roar comes from Grak

>I am Grak! I am an Awaken! I serve my people and the Minotaurs! We use your skulls as decorations and your teeth as enhancements!

The White Being appears confused by this.

>But you are not flesh?
>How do you move?

Grak takes a cautious step forward.
>I move by my own will!
>The Minotaurs created me, and I shall protect them with my life!

The White Being surges forward, thinking that Grak is distracted. It is soon corrected, however, by a fist of stone smashing into it's ribcage.

The camp is soon swarmed by the remaining nineteen White Beings. The Awaken are able to fight them relatively easy, but many Minotaurs aren't as fortunate. Several Geomancers die while fighting them off, and the White Beings manage to force an Awaken into the lava pits. He'll live, he just needs to get out now.

Roll for Wool

>>39220300
You decide to wait til morning to go and investigate the object. You inquire the elders as to why so much shit is falling from the sky.
>Idontfuckingknow.png

>>39220317
After the small incident with the Iron Lamb, the Awaken tries this again on already processed wool, and it makes a flexible and lightweight, yet ridiculously strong and durable, material. You call this Iron Wool

>>39220350
we switch Our Armor for the New wool, making the Militia faster and better at dodging

>>39220350
Perhaps we misinterpreted a gift from the Ancestors as taboo? I guess we'll find out...

Also, guys, since this is a primal religion, we're missing a very basic aspect of primal religions:
>holy place of pilgrimage

This could be our chance.

But I'm willing to go either way. Just suggesting til we get to the star metal and we. Make a decision as a group

Rolled 50 (1d100)

>>39220295
Okay well new action. Geomancers and Awaken get together to uncover the secrets of Awaken creation. Let's try to add tooth into the equation to make the Awaken automatically stronger and smarter by default

>>39220368
wait, first we make robes out of it, then switch it

>>39220368
This does not require a roll, and it's a straight upgrade from your old sets of armor.

>>39220380
This is up to you guys.

>>39220386
>INCOMING!

>>39220391
Robes? Why not light armor?

>>39220380
Perhaps this is a good time to have a faction split in the civilization? There always comes a time when a group gets so large the people start to draw dividing lines.

>>39220380
This Could Work

>>39220408
Robes are amazing

>>39220408
Its wool, not Leather

>>39220411
But then we just make enemies when we should be focusing on the Whites.

Earthben- uh, I mean, geomancers need to build a outer wall (hopefully larger) to keep out the Whites for sure, this time with a means to get to the top (like a geomanced elevator/lift) to keep watch

Thus, room for more houses cuz bigger village. I also think that, since we are in such a cold place, we should expand downward (geomanced tunnel systems) to keep warm and safe.

>>39220386
>Dead on 50
>Fun times
Your questions as to how the Awaken are made are met with confusion, as they believed that you already knew. Consulting the elders, Drozen decides to go and start digging. Praying to the ancestors that that this doesn't backfire, he tips his pick with the tooth and strikes the Earth. The ground begins to rumble, as what appears to be more Enhanced Awaken come forming out of the ground!

>Awaken population growth increased! +10 to total!

>You still don't entirely understand why the Awaken form where they do, just that the Geomancy and the Tooth have something to do with it.

>>39220466
I didn't necessarily mean a hostile faction split. But all this metal is sacrilegious to our origins. The Awaken are proof of that. They were our first gift from the Sleep and from our Ancestors (in our eyes) and all this metal and space nonsense isn't right.

At the very least I don't think the crash site should be our Mecca. Maybe we won't automatically hate it, but it's not our new Holy Land either. I mean why would it be? What significance does it hold as far as coinciding with our culture so far? Nothing that we have done or that has happened to us up until this point even remotely alludes to metal or space as being significant.

If anything, a mountain or cave or something would be our site of pilgrimage.

>>39220508
Apologies, I should have specified. Both sound like an interesting idea. But you will have to roll for both.

I meant more like Ayers Rock than Mecca

But agreed

If we did have a schism, I think the two of us should each have to pick a specific one to flock to. If this is based on our disagreement, we can't both have the fruits of the result.

Maybe we can reunite during a time of great struggle, like a large battle against Whites or a conflict with another civ? Could be an interesting sub-arch for a while

Civvie, what would you think about this mini-arch? It could last for a generation, and then end with some giant battle against the Whites with both tribes, each bringing forth what they have discovered in their years apart, reuniting for an awesome all-out, devastating battle

I cannot I'm afraid. I have an iPad. My computer is literally on the other side of this world, since I'm currently in Greece :(

Your people are starting to have a religious conflict.
Some view it as heretical and betraying of the ancestors to chase after these strange rocks from the sky.
>We were given hoofs for a reason.
>Why should we go after them?

Others view this as a sign from the ancestors, and that the metal is a sign of favor!

>Why else would shit be falling from the sky so close to us?
>What about the Iron Wool? That's surely a sign!

The Awaken have no opinion on the matter
>>39220693
This is an interesting idea. It'd take a long-ass time to type up, but I think it could work. Would we continue after this?

Of course. We'll continue as long as we feel like playing (which could go on forever, as this campaign is fucking awesome so far).

Okay so after long and tiresome debates between the elders, it is decided that we will send a scout party to investigate the crash.
(remember that we don't know for sure WHAT crashed, or even if the meteorite will have metal in it)
The Awaken seem uneasy about the crash (? maybe yes please?) They are of the Earth, and the Sky Fire is unnatural.
Sadly, there are no Awaken on the Elder Council (or are there?)
The pyromancers, who were the only ones to stick to the fire-refined Iron armor, are ecstatic about the Sky Fire, and a young startup pyromancer has taken to the streets, shouting words of the sign from the Ancestors.

new religion started: Children of the Sky Fire

This is how I propose we handle the split. The new religion would explore the avenues of pyrmonacy and metallurgy and would be the exclusive users of fire magic and metal armor and weapons (or at least the metal armor and weapons from the meteor) and since they are in limited numbers, it doesn't really change the overall opinion of the whole civilization. The crash site would also be their holy land

>>39220788

A young Tauren pipes up and says that the cave where Drozen, the Keeper of the Sleep, and Alagor Stone-Fist first fought with our eternal foe the White Beings. This is quickly dismissed, as we had been recieving messages before that.

>>39220871
Wouldn't he be the living messiah? I mean even Jesus had doubters at first, he was into his mid to late 20s before people started being like "okay, maybe this guy is legit"
Maybe they just sort of go "I guess that makes Ahdrag our messiah, yah?" And roll with it.

Conversely, maybe Ahdrag denounces the new religion, that way the "core group" can still have access to fire magic

The elders honestly don't give two shits about what's going on outside, they need to know if this thing is a threat to their people NOW!
>Awaken
The Awaken express, rather vocally for them I might add, that this thing scares them. They can't feel a connection to it, but they feel it's presence in the back of their heads. The Shepherd, who sits on the council as a representative of the Awaken, warns the council of this personally.
>Pyromancers
With all the great balls of fire raining from the sky every other day, Pyromancy has recieved a huge boon in popularity. There is currently a cult forming around Ahdrag. They call themselves the Children of the Sky Fire

>PART TWO INCOMING

>>39220862
Soon those who worship the Ancestors exclusively find themselves out numbered by the Children of the Sky Fire. A separate group of Pyromancers set out before the scouts do for the crash site.

we roll the Sky-Rock Away, and Light Stick with the Skyfire and bring it home

Btw I imagine that these Children of the Sky Fire would build a temple (of course) and would make HEAVY use of metal, while core minotaurs are happy to just use leather and iron wool and stuff.
The Children are decked out in gold-tipped horns, gleaming steel blades, and polished plate armor. Their clerics wear armored robes made out of the golden fleece iron wool and metal pauldrons and shit.
They would also wield metal staves.

Idk man just brainstorming.

I like this. The High Priests, who are the greatest pyro/lavamancers in the tribe, have star metal armored robes, lined with red-dyed iron wool. The Zealots (warriors pledged to these priests) of high rank get star metal weapons.

No corpse could be recovered.

>>39221061
My thought was that while our normal civ armies will go any which crazy way, the Children of the Sky Fire will always stick to metal armor (even if it is outdated, such is the case with the current iron armor) They would make a lot of use of gold and silver for adornment and jewelry, even though the average minotaur is extremely conservative. The warriors of this small religion would be like our elite. Metal wearing pyromancers with flaming swords and spear-tipped staves. They would be a valuable asset to our military force, but are also somewhat frowned upon because the abandoned the Old Ways (ancestor worship)

>>39221091
I think the meteorite itself should be kept on a pyre in the temple, safely guarder and tended to 24/7 by the High Priests, while the braziers and Torches (including those carried by the warriors and clerics of the Children) are all lit from that initial flame

Rolling for all this just in case
