This year is by far the coldest year yet. In northern latitudes, snow stays on the ground for weeks at a time, for the first time ever. Even the tropics notice that their snow capped mountains, get bigger snowcaps, and that perhaps some clothes might be in order next year! It's also the first year you have a distinct sleeping of some trees during hibernation, and waking to spring with new growth.

This spring is the springiest spring that Admor has yet sprung. The flowers. The trees. The pollen... 5% of all peoples will have allergies... lol, i'm kidding...

Weather kicks in for real now, if your living in anything under T2, or not in a cave, you'll experience your first leaking roofs. Your first tree blown over in a storm.. etc. Nature it would seem, is a harsh bitch and not a nurturing eden after all!

PP: 96 Into Construction of Palisade T2

CP:
Rogar 80 Infighting, 20 Bows-Practice and dilligence, along with having to constantly crack a few heads is always useful to keep one's skills sharp.
Nomnar: 100 WWT2- There might be some ideas behind trying to use more sturdy wood and stone to make the houses around here stronger. Better maybe even not with leaking roof's that'd be ideal.
Tagnok: 100 Pottery T2-The simple earthern jars are handy and useful if nothing else.. Though they look so bland...it's when one of the cubs smears berries on the outside does an idea spring to mind! Paints! Arts! Maybe something to make the jars stronger as well?Glazed over pottery/Art on the pots
Yinta: 100 Quarrying-As with any new idea Rogar goes among his people as they work to find the best one at the job. The first attempts at making good stone are rather abysmall as the caves have hardly anything, but there is a grunt of effort and upon looking in Rogar finds a huge bulky specimen of Gnollhood. With a stone mallet he brings the hammer down and easily cracks the stone wall though a few unusable stones appear. This is the gnoll for the job it looks like, and so it is done!

>your people are just not into toolmaking… +44 to toolmaking. As if sensing your frustration, one of your sylphs takes root in the sacred flower patch and over the course of a week, grows into a splendid gourd. Over the next two days, the gourd settles against the ground, in the crotch of two tree roots and noises can be heard within. On the ninth day everyone is called forth, because a tiny hole has appeared in the side. And then, before everyone’s eyes. A tiny stone saw made of the slenderest sliver of flint. It began sawing, methodically, into the shape of a door. For several minutes various tappings and scratching is heard from he other side. The tiny hole, which originally appeared, was right where the doorknob should be. After a moment or two of silence, the tiny door swung open, and tiny, reddish, arm reached out, in it’s little hand it held a small stone on a stick, which it poked through the hole in the door. The door closed, and and the sounds of tiny hands at work could be heard within. (448/500)

Suddenly, the door burst forth and out bursts what had once been the sylph, Persephone. Her wings had transformed into something more like stained glass than butterfly wings, like they were made of glass. Her eyes glittered and shone, no longer smooth with a pupil like everyone else, though still the same shape and with eyelids and lashes, but her eyes were multifaceted like that of an insect. “Your Highness, I have some great ideas concerning your stone tool project!” You now have a tinkerfaery. They love to make things. She joins your 40 Fae in magic school.

A2(R26): And now that oberon and titania have lost their wings they look into some way to regain the ability to fly by themselves.

It wasn’t long before many of the tribe began curiously watching the champions train by the waterfall. Some who appreciated the practical implications of such skills started following along from the sidelines. Seeing this, the champions decided to collaborate to standardize a curriculum. After much practice and deliberation, they discerned the common elements in their movements and, dubbing the style Belegur-Maeth, turned to their observers and offered to teach them what they knew.

>Improve Leatherworking
Hm, seems like the herbalists need a little more prodding to help us fix the stiff, smelly hides. Surely they’re familiar with the plants that smell and taste really bitter, turn water brown and make your skin burn if you stick your hand in it too long. Perhaps the hides could be soaked in that brown water to loosen them up and mask the smell.

But the way you said it made me think they got terrorized.

The students begin eagerly training in the way of fighting with a mighty heart, but it quickly became apparent that the instructors have very little experience instructing and at times seem to be making it up as they go.

The silkworms feed on the mushrooms in the fall. They cocoon up in the trees over the winter. They leave their cocoons in the spring. When you first arrived, there were spent casings from several years, but you've used that all up. The mushrooms sprout up with the first cold days of the fall, and the tiny caterpillars that have been lightly grazing on the surrounding trees, descend upon the mushrooms and begin to gorge themselves. By the time they cocoon up, they are as big as a fat goblin's leg! They hatch into moths nearly big enough to ride, which fly up into the nighttime sky towards the moon, and mate, the females try to get back to the ground to mate, while the males swarm up, and try to lead the skywhales, who have arrived for the occasion, on a wild mothchase, so the females can lay their eggs, which will hatch after a few weeks and begin the whole thing all over again.

Whale watching may sound like fun, until one takes a dump! Yes, the moths and the grubs are tasty, the whale shit, is not.

*ENCOUNTER* While running routine border patrol your people find more evidence of orc hunting parties working the edge of your forest.

This summer arrives without fanfare. It's "normal weather" for everyone, the biggest change in everyone's lives, is the arrival of the birds. In the previous years, annual flocks of birds migrated to the forests, stayed a while, and left. Large flocks. Each year increasing in size. This year, they blacken the skies with their swarms. They wreak havok on the forests while they are there, and the skywhales eeerily feed on them on pitch black nights. The whales use sonar, and frighten the birds aloft, into the awating jaws of the whales. In the daylight, the birds would easily dodge them.

The forests rebound after though, as all of the poo feeds the forest.

>The festival was filled with excitement as the tribe was dazzled by displays of skill the likes of which they had never seen. However at the end of the festivities the people gathered to present their usual offerings for the lost and prayers for protection. As the service was closing, Thaichon stood before them reminding them of the reason that the event was founded and made the announcement that the haunted wood seemed to be rapidly encroaching and that signs of walking trees have been found in our lands. He then asked for volunteers to join him in investigating these occurrences so that we can find answers and no longer live in dread and uncertainty.
>In the end, he managed to assemble Lavanith, one of Glithel’s apprentices and four newly trained rangers along with a small pack of wolves, an elk mount for the apprentice and a few snapdragons. Together they gathered enough supplies for one week’s foray and armed themselves with the best weapons, armor, camouflage, medicines and poisons that the tribe could muster. They then set out to present gifts and introduce themselves to the ravens and ask for their assistance in scouting the land. As they carefully and stealthily travel the tainted land, the party asks the plants and animals for information about the nature of this dread energy. If we are set upon by any aggressive creatures, we will attempt to subdue and interrogate them. We must discover the form, truth and reasoning behind this curse. Who is causing it? What is their objective? And why have they chosen this course of action? Then, we must determine the right method to alleviate this problem, permanently. If we do not have the answers we seek after one week, we will return home, rest and resupply and depart once again. Meanwhile those staying at home will investigate the treefolk that have entered into our territory and ask them for their truth and reasoning as well.

>This poor roll is easily explainable. The forest is inhospitable to the presence of Nature Magic practitioners. Upon crossing into it’s borders, any magically active practitioner of Nature Magic will feel mildly nauseous, hopefully they have an herb for that. When you attempt to use magic to “speak” with the denizens of the Haunted Forest, it doesn’t work like it does with normal animals. Whereas most animals leave you with a “classical music” interface, from the tainted, you’d hear something more akin to loud, distorted acid metal, just anger and rage and the desire to consume. A hungering to absorb your mineral content from the plants, etc. You can stealth in, and aside from the blood sucking bugs, and thorn bushes, that also seem to suck blood from you when they prick any skin, and the ever present squirrels, it’s not so bad. This time, they seem to be keeping their distance, and you soon find out why. The ravenkin, with the help of the rangers, have crafted their own bows and arrows, and they do not seem to share your interest in turning the squirrels into anything but carrion. As your people now speak with them, you’ll know that the squirrels have killed ravenkin in the past, and eaten them. The only way to explore the woods, is to shoot every squirrel you see, before it calls others, as once they have numbers, they attack. The taintents do not show themselves, or are not present.

>Before encounters with the orcs pushed all the gnolls into the forest, your people were ranging all around the mountain living off the land. The orcs didn't migrate from another surface hex, they came up from below. Wherever they come from, given the color of them, and their avoidance of sunlight, the sun does not shine,and anything that fears the sun can't be wholesome....

>>1253882
With this knowledge of their enemies Rogar nad his troops begin to slowly scout out thru the mountain hex to see if they might find entrances to caves, tunnels or gullys that might hide the filth. Who knows maybe they could knock over stones to bury the buggers and avoid the whole problem at least...

>>1254317
They move by night, and I'm presuming you're not camping close to the mountains with this bit.... They are making no effort to hide where they are basing their operations from, you don't even have to see it. You can smell it before you ever lay eyes on it. They're not being very tidy, carrion birds are even circling overhead.

The orcs, it would seem, haven't developed much in the way of cooking or food storage, nor is sanitation something they concern themselves with. The cave entrance does not lend itself well to having the entrance caved in easily. But there are enough large, loose rocks up the mountain, that it could be possible. You'd want to scout it out with a skilled stonemason in party, perhaps a plan could be devised.

A - is a crude stone altar
c - is a carrion, sewage, waste pile

This is on a finger of the mountain, so getting rocks to tumble to it would be a feat, but there are rocks above large enough, but it'll take a lot of sneaky work to pull it off.

They emerge nightly. Some descend down crude woven-root nets which they lower down from the caves, and then pull up each morning before dawn.

>>1249523

The taintents move by night, unless you sick you head in one's mouth, apparently. Like feyents they pass unseen once free of the earth. As the forest seems to thrive where they disturb the earth, ents are doing a service to the forest with their rootings, when they do it.

Taintents do not root often, while their roots very much resemble the roots of regular trees, they're more like octopus legs, or elephant trunks. Their actual root is a singular taproot, which sinks deep into the earth, and when the taintent moves on, a slow process not unlike a clam extending up through the sand to feed, only in reverse, it must retract it's "tongue" before moving on. The resulting hole fills with a thick, tarry substance that is the opposite of elf-nip.

It's texture is repulsive.
It's smell elicits a gag reflex which will empty the contents of any untainted animal's stomach unless it is very hardy, or under the effects of herbs or spells. It is unwholesome. The squirrels drink it like it's candy and they are wasps... Any animal that drinks of it is tainted, and will behave accordingly... Tainted animals seem to need only feed on the ooze, yet they crave anything living they can lure, drag or frighten into the forest. Tainted animals will use distress calls that they know will lure their kin into the wood, a rather haunting effect indeed...

So it looks like there is a ledge that the orc come from on the map as well as a ledge above that entrance. Would it be possible to get my archers atop that ledge, have Rogar cause a ruckus that draws out the orcs and have them be caught in a pincer like in pic related? X is Rogar and some warriors position while O is the archers position. This way it allows them to be rush forward only to be picked off in the back.

>>1257239

Not a ledge above, just the domed top of the cave exit, like an igloo entrance... You probably could get archers up there, it's not a ledge for standing on though, it's coarse mountainside

Damn, well so much for that idea, I think the best thing is for now to pull back, get some troops trained up and come back with more because I bet money that the orcs will have their own hero character as well and I don't think having only one hero with combat going against a bunch of mooks is going to go over well...

>The forays into the haunted forest where arduous and we did not make as much progress as we would have liked, but it was not in vain. As Thaichon ruminated on the information they had gathered and meditated, asking the spirit of nature to give him guidance and discernment, he found himself feeling nostalgic for his first passion, herbalism. As he recalled his first trip into those fell lands that prompted him to take herbs that allowed him to see the veil and hear the song of the land, he wondered if the plants that the forest had provided them could help to restore the cursed plants and animals to their normal states. Eventually this seed of thought grew into a blossoming idea. If we can ingest medicinal plants to cure our bodies, then perhaps the forest can be healed the same way. The tarry pits left by the tainted ents seem to have an addictive effect on the squirrels. So perhaps we could take advantage of this quality to help deliver our herbal concoctions. However, a few small scale experiments may be prudent to avoid wasting resources first.
>Thaichon then gathers the people to make a new plan. Firstly, the scouting for more information must continue. The home team will keep searching for the ents in our home woods (maybe some can try just meditating in the woods and see if they approach us) and the away team will attempt to observe the movements of the tainted ents at night as well as any other suspicious entities we may not have seen during the day, including observing how they are effected by the weather. Also have the ravens provide aerial assistance for locating the cause and epicenter of this phenomena. Meanwhile some of the squirrels will be stealthily put to sleep, caged and fed our experimental medicines to test their effects, we can also try pouring some onto the tainted plants (and also try a magical restore effect). If this seems to hold promise, we shall make large batches and pour them into the tarry pits to observe its effects there. If possible we may even attempt to sprinkle/pour some onto the tainted ents during the day while they lay dormant. The away team will also experiment with medicinal and aromatic herbs to combat nausea. Perhaps a face-mask stuffed with a “potpourri” of them could prove effective.
A2: Improve Herbalism and gather herbs. (501/1000)
>To deal with the nausea we will try Latha stem, Shen leaf and Wifurwif Lichen as well as anything else we may have overlooked. For the forest medicine we will try two recipes. The first will be mostly Athelas, perhaps with support of Latha and Shen. The second “medicine” will be Muilfana sap and Nimnaur juice. We will apply them in different areas of the forest to see which is more effective in combating the taint.

>The haunted forest is being rather coy with her secrets. On the up side, your great caution has prevented any loss of life however. Two of your rangers tailed a small grove of walking trees to the edge of the forest. They walked right out of the forest, and onto the plains. They tried to keep up, but the trees were tireless and the elves had to turn back. Wherever they were headed, the were moving in a straight line. There are no ents in the forest this season.
