So assuming you finished the house and went to bed with your family and Varu and had a restful sleep.

You wake up with between Varu and Daarta but as always they're still asleep.

What do you do?

>>1239633
Most of the time you sneak out to do something but this time you decide to stay in with them, once again you drift off to sleep with them. I doesn't take long for them to get up but they stay with you for a while before waking you up and heading outside, Ira and Silas get woken up due to the sounds of you and your wives preparing to get up and they also prepare to leave with you. Once you're outside there's the normal group around the fire having breakfast so naturally you join them and get some breakfast too, the people around you are particularly cheery and happy, probably due to what happened yesterday with Evangeline. Once everyone is done with their food they all start getting ready for their day after saying their goodbyes, Ira and Silas grab their gear and join the other hunters while Daarta heads to the farm and Varu returns home to craft arrows and whatnot.

Evangeline hasn't left her home yet.

You're left alone with your thoughts next to the fire.

So
You take the bow Varu gave you alongside some hide armour, say goodbye to your wives and join your kids, they're pleasantly surprised when you anounce you're going with them before heading off into the forest.

Once the gorup is at a reasonable distance from the village you separate in groups of five and head out, you're onbviously paired with Silas, Ira and two kinda beefy males who seem to respect Ira quite a bit. Despite Ira's pregnancy she's still quite capable of hhunting and manages to bring back a few kills, Silas also manages to get a few but you can see he's troubled by it, maybe he normally doesn't do this but since you're here he's probably doing this to show you he can properly hunt and actually do something else besides bringing home more animals. The other men also get a few kills.

Something of note is that you find some discarded loincloths made of animal furs, they dont look like your people's since they use leaves.

At any rate you get back to the village after regrouping with everyone else. Daarta and Varu are happy to see you when you get back and each moves in to hug and kiss you before letting you go to strip the animals and prepare the meat for cooking. When everything's finished its nighttime so you and some hunters start to impale some meat on some clean sticks and prepare them for dinner, it doesnt take long for everyone else in the tribe to grab a stick and start to cook it, when your family call out to you you clean your hands with some leaves and head over to them, as you eat dinner with them you notice Evangeline hasnt showed up since yesterday.

Its 10:25 right now so im going to be here for a while

As you're having dinner you ask Ira to give you a seat next to Silas before hugging him and thanking him for showing us he can hunt and bring food to the tribe, he's about to speak but you cut him off by telling him you love him no matter what and that he doesnt need to hunt if he doesnt want to, he's already helping a lot by bringing and taming animals, and you also know how much he likes animals and nature so he doesnt need to hurt them if you're with him, you finish by telling him that they have enough hunters in the tribe so he doesnt need to kill like them to be useful, he's the beast master tamer and he's already pretty useful to the tribe. He looks ecstatic when you're done and he hugs you tightly as he rests his head on your shoulder before his sister takes the chance to join in, he thanks you for your ecouraging words before letting you go, you stay with them for a while before you stand up and go check on Evangeline. When you arrive you find her giant house empy with no signs of anyone leaving which somewhat worries you.

Since you're a little worried you start asking the people around the fire if they've seen her but everyone says they haven't and after a while some of them get suspicious and head over to her house before proceeding to freak out about their goddess not bein here. Once Varu hears about this she also goes to check it out before she starts freaking out too, soon almost all of the tribe is freaking out about it. Once things get out of control you try to calm them down but all of your attempts are muffled under all of the other voices.

In an attempt to calm them down you stand up and yell at them at top of your lungs to calm down, the sheer volume of your words is enough to draw all the attention to you which makes their freaking out die down and in a few seconds all of the commotion is now dead. Now that everything's calmed down you head to the shrine to see if anything changed but the shrine remains in the same way as it was last time, not one thing has changed, growing more worried now you close your eyes and call out to Evangeline, you focus all of your senses on trying to hear anything but the only thing thing you hear inside your head is too low for you to make out.

So
You close your eyes and focus on hearing anything and after a few minutes you start hearing... snoring? Kinda sounds like her actually so she's probably sleeping at her own place, now that the mystery of where is Evangeline has been solved you head to the fire to announce that you've found her, once you explain the situation to everyone they all properly calm down and continue with their activities albeit a little worried. Eventually dinner dies down and everyone heads to their house.

>>1241144 No probs my dude


You head over to you house and call out to Varu to talk privately about the clothing you found on the forest, once you explain your concerns about the owners you Varu seems quite distressed by the event and says she'll tell the hunters to be wary of anything suspicious, after that the two of you head back into the house once more to go to sleep, once you're both settled in you fall asleep minutes later still worried about those potential neighbors.

--------------------

You open your eyes to find yourself in Evangeline's bed next to her, she's asleep and snoring heavily and when she feels you close she slowly scoots next to you before resuming her soundly sleep.

You don't wanna wake her up when she's enjoying her sleep, not that you could given her size and how deep her sleep must be when she's snoring this loud so you make yourself comfortable with your back against her breasts and cuddling closer, you start dozing off after a while but you pull yourself awake and move closer to her before planting a soft kiss on her lips to wake her up, she moves around slightly before lazily opening her eyes and returning the kiss followed by a sleepy "Hey" Once the both of you are awake she takes you to the recently made kitchen for breakfast, you tell her you're not hungry but she tells you to shush and let her repay you for everything you've done for her. She sits you on a wooden chair in front of a table before she materializes her apron and gets cooking, you maintain friendly conversation while she's cooking and you're filled with the delicious aroma it gives out but you can't identify what is the after a while when she finished she brings it to you and you still cannot identify it but it looks great and dig in nonetheless and by god, it's deliciosa, she summons another plate and brings it to the table before sitting down. The both of you enjoy your meal eventually during it you ask if she's seen anything related to the possible neighbors but she only tells you she's felt them a few times but nothing more. After a while you're both finished and chatting about random things, it's not sexual by any means but it could be if you wanted to.

Couldn't finish it and I gtg guys
I have a bit of Internet on my phone so I'll try to post while I'm out
L8er

So, I got an idea.
Since Taius hasn't been doing nothing important for the tribe, why don't we have him training other blue people?

What makes a longbow different from other self-bows is its strengh. So, if we make the blue people stronger, they will be able to use stronger bows! (or at least use them more efficiently. I have never used a heavy bow, but I imagine that needing to put all of your strengh everytime you draw your bow doesn't go along with shoting multiple times, or confortably)

And maybe we should keep a variety of smaller/softer bows, for training and small prey.

>>1241620
No. Have them begin practicing. Have them begin exercising as Taius does. They will learn how to use stronger bows. Carrying 140 lbs in one arm, using precisely your biceps, shoulder, and back muscles (which is a lot), isn't as hard as it sounds. With some proper exercise, they should be able to do so within a month or two with a full quiver or more of shots at a given period in time.

>>1241953
Ok, but I still want to have Taius being the one training them, that way we make him useful and give him autority.

If I remember correctly, tge guy rolled high when exersising for the first time, he knows what he is doing.

>>1242082
Sure, I never contested with that idea. What I typed didn't either.

>>1242091
Ok.

Also, I did some research and it seems that some macuahuitl were one-edged and/or pointy.

Since I think backswords are better than arming sword (especially if they have a false edge), maybe I can think of an improved desing based on the following video.

https://youtu.be/9jUhUcsoQ5Y

>>1242311
Come to think of it, a backup edge will surelly help considering our weapon's materials...

Fuck it, let's just make them pointy.

Dude, unless if the macuahuitl you mean to make is the one in the picture I provided, one that isn't the same as the one you provided yourself in the last thread, then no, a single-edged macuahuitl will not suffice. And can you share a picture where you can attach another side? It doesnt really seem plausible to me, unless if youre removing the two "wood walls" to insert flint edges. But if that's the case, you'll have too much unnecessary weight, dead weight. And you cant use this video if we're using the form of your macuahuitl, or the form you presented in your image, because it does not abide by the same dynamics. It is not a full-blade weapon. If anything, the macuahuitl is more a spiked club than anything. I would prefer the form in the pic I provided, honestly. But if we must go with your original form, then double-edged. And dont bother adding a point. It wont be used for stabbing, like swords are use, but rather to extend the range of a cut. Though obviously, the cut wont be deep, given the size of the flint. Or we can risk it and add a longer piece with the trade off of breaking it easier. For the form I propose, a point is extraneous and I dont see how you can effectively fit in unless you keep the uppermost edge of the blade absent to make room.

>>1242364
It's cool. Take your time.

>>1242369
I agree with almost everything.

BUT,
>And can you share a picture where you can attach another side?

What do you mean by this? The most common macuahuitl already has 2 edges.

>unless if youre removing the two "wood walls" to insert flint edges

What do you mean by 'wood walls'? The macuahuitl is made from one single piece of wood with 2 thin groves on the side where the flint edge in place.

>And you cant use this video if we're using the form of your macuahuitl

A macuahuitl has a thick center that tenpera to the sides. One less edge means we can aboid reduaing one side, making the weapon heavier, but I was not interested in that. I wanted to give it a more narrow edge, making it better for cutting. But considering that flint breaks againts hard material, being able to swich the edge is a very good advantage.

>It is not a full-blade weapon. If anything, the macuahuitl is more a spiked club than anything.

That is totally wrong, and we specified for them to not be made that way.

Do you really think an empire could only make such crappy weapons?

The macahulti having a saw-like shape is just a stereotype (pic related lf some properly made macuahuitl).

>It wont be used for stabbing

Why? Our sword have an continous even edge, is should't offer too much resistance. Though it won't be as effective/easy as any metal sword, given the thickness of the wood, but it is not like it would be that difficult. We have spears made the same way than our swords, after all.

>Though obviously, the cut wont be deep, given the size of the flint.

Is this suppoced to be the tip or the entire sword? Because I don't think the point would extend that far from the wood for it too be a problem, and I imagine that flint sharpness+wood weight+speed of a sword point in a swing would make wonders. Thoug it is truth that our current desing (the secong from the top in the pic) whould be better at that.

Mmm, maybe I will keep them like that just for cutting power.

Also, what do you mean by 'given the size of the flint'?

We are using blades that aren't wide at all.

>Or we can risk it and add a longer piece with the trade off of breaking it easier.

Pretty sure the size of the blades wouldn't affect how often they break, because of the wood and glue helding them in place.

In fact, I think that we are using the longer blades we can make.

And it is not as heavy as you may think.

Between 2 and 5 kg (since ours are one handed they are closer to thr 2 kg).

Spread it the shape of a sword, it is actually quite manegable, and not as slower compared to a sword as you may think. Though they are still slower, wecause the weight distribution is not as good, a mase is a better comparation. But if they are used the same way mases or a warhammers were used, there should be no problem (IIRC, you make us of the inertia by keeping the weapon moving instead of trying to stop it.)

>>1241323
Remembering what happened with the wood you found yourself trapped in once you decide to ask her about it and how does she manage to do it, while also mentioning the idea of building a wall around the village to protect it, but you don't press her on the matter since you would need to ask the tribe if they're okay with it.

"Well i did that because you kinda passed out in the middle of the camp and it would be embarrassing if everyone saw you like that, I made the ball out of wood using some of the influence I had and the wall would need a constant stream of energy put into it so it can stay up, i could try it but we would have to work something out with the town"

After a while when you're both properly finished she takes everything and puts it in the fancy sink before you take her hand in yours and head to the bath. You both discard your clothes before jumping in, you stay a while relaxing and playing around and eventually you end up making out which eventually leads to one thing then another and so on, by the end you're both sticky and sweaty but the water of the tub quickly washes it off. You're a bit tired but you still have some energy same as Evangeline.

Did you not say you can remove the wood in the first thread? Nonetheless, this agrees with the point I made after about dead weight.

>A macuahuitl has a thick center that tenpera to the sides. One less edge means we can aboid reduaing one side, making the weapon heavier, but I was not interested in that.

Which is why i said if we're using your form, go double-edged. Otherwise, the single edged in the image I provided.

>That is totally wrong, and we specified for them to not be made that way.
I am certainly not. The weapon is a freaking long prehistoric hatchet.

>Is this suppoced to be the tip or the entire sword?

THat wasnt the point of what you linked. What I said is that the flint piece wouldnt be long enough to do real damage unless you heat an already cut area or at the neck, pelvis, forearm or wrist, or clip the Achilles tendon. Many of these areas are extremely difficult to hit with such a long weapon.

>Also, what do you mean by 'given the size of the flint'?
As in it being too short to cut deep enough. I specified this.

>Pretty sure the size of the blades wouldn't affect how often they break, because of the wood and glue helding them in place.
It definitely would. The shorter, the less likely to break. The longer it extends out of the weapon, the easier itll break. It's not only considering the material durability but also basic civil engineering and physics principles.

>>1242559
4-11 lbs? I dont know if you've ever swung a bat or sword but maintaining even 6 lbs with an extended object in order to swing it and retract it for a second swing is not easy.

>you make us of the inertia by keeping the weapon moving instead of trying to stop it.
They're all going to die because of you. This leaves you extremely open and is only viable when a. you have pretty good freaking armor b. both hands are free to maneuver the weapon and swing it with an effective degree of power, which by the way leaves you with no shield and c. this weapon is definitely not similar to war hammers and DEFINITELY not maces so you're just going to fuck yourself over.

You think back to the clothing you found on the forest and warn her that the tribe might get into war soon if the new neighbors aren't friendly, she seems worried at your words and nods in understanding before you move next to her and make yourself comfortable, once you're about to doze off you feel her take you up in her arms and carrying you.

>you're the one who said you can have a one-edge and just tack on the seconds edge whenever

Yes, we just make the wood center for a two-edged macuahuitl, add one adge and than dd the second later.

On the new shape I was talked about I was talking about shapes designed especially on taking advantage of having only one edge. It is pretty obvious given that I said:
>One less edge means we can aboid reduaing one side, making the weapon heavier, but I was not interested in that. I wanted to give it a more narrow edge, making it better for cutting.

In this shapes I didn't think about adding a secong edge later.

>Which is why i said if we're using your form, go double-edged. Otherwise, the single edged in the image I provided.

That is... pretty much what I we could do in >>1242311

Then I desided that the posible advantages of one-edge desing were overhelmed by the usefulness of having a second edge on a weapon of this duravility.

>I am certainly not. The weapon is a freaking long prehistoric hatchet.

In this I strongly disagree, the actual example we had was destroied and all we have is an ilustration, and it is far more refined that what we usually think. The weapon was't (so) slow as to leave you open (I think. It's to say, it's common sence), and you had a shield.

>What I said is that the flint piece wouldnt be long enough to do real damage unless you heat an already cut area or at the neck, pelvis, forearm or wrist, or clip the Achilles tendon. Many of these areas are extremely difficult to hit with such a long weapon.

Well, IIRC, it doesn't matter what shape the weapon has, you are never going to make a really deep cut if you only cut them with the tip. Saing that the tip is not long enough is like saing that is the only sharp place of the weapon. By your logic, if you make two identical hits with two different weapons, and with a flint point that adds more range, then if the one with the flint tip only makes a superficial cut the other wouldn't even reach the target.

Adding a point is not suppoced to increase cutting power, is suppoced to allow trusting.

>The longer it extends out of the weapon, the easier itll break.

Oh, by bigger you meant it sticked out of the weapon more?

Sure.

>They're all going to die because of you.

In my defence, I think you misunderstood what I meant by
>you make us of the inertia by keeping the weapon moving instead of trying to stop it.
I took it out from a Skallagrim video were he talks about maces, I don't really know how to explain how he said maces are used so I maybe fucked up my explanation a little.

Got it now.

>>One less edge means we can aboid reduaing one side, making the weapon heavier, but I was not interested in that. I wanted to give it a more narrow edge, making it better for cutting.
The sharpness of the blades are determined by the flint pieces. Remember, this isnt a full blade sword so you cant use the video for reference on that. And if you want better cutting power, then yes, single-edged is the way to go. Even in the video it said the one-edged swords have the potential for greater cutting power.

>In this I strongly disagree
Nope.

> The weapon was't (so) slow as to leave you open (I think. It's to say, it's common sence), and you had a shield.
Already addressed this.

>it doesn't matter what shape the weapon has
I never referenced shape.

>you are never going to make a really deep cut if you only cut them with the tip.
Which is what I said. But your weapons only gives us tips, many tips.

>Saing that the tip is not long enough is like saing that is the only sharp place of the weapon
What?

>By your logic, if you make two identical hits with two different weapons, and with a flint point that adds more range, then if the one with the flint tip only makes a superficial cut the other wouldn't even reach the target.
You failed to understand what I typed.

>
Adding a point is not suppoced to increase cutting power, is suppoced to allow trusting.
Already addressed this. You cannot THRUST with this weapon. First, the flint piece would be too short. Second, the equivalent of thrusting with this weapon is thrusting with a table. No. Just no. This weapon in incapable of effective thrusts. It was never made for thrusting. It was made for cleaving.

>In my defence, I think you misunderstood what I meant by
I didnt lol

I took it out from a Skallagrim video were he talks about maces, I don't really know how to explain how he said maces are used so I maybe fucked up my explanation a little.
Like I said, they're completely different weapons that use different combat mechanics.

Oh. Oh, dear. You, you weren't talking about tips ALONG the edge, were you?

I was talking about a tip in the, well, the tip of the sword, for trusting attacks.

I think you have the completly wrong idea about how a maquhuitl actually looks like.

You see, the flint blades are closely put one mext to the other without space in between, making a sword-like constant, straight cutting edge. And it is not saw-like, it is chiped to make the whole thing is even.

Here, this series actually shows how a maquahitl looks like. You can skip the secong one.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oqtxDz5tW6k

Dicontinous edges or saw-like blades are sings of porly made replicas.

>>1242906
Yes, my dude. I know how they look like lol. In that context, I didnt mean tips as in a point, but the farthest point of a blade--the edge. But I was also talking about thrusting tips so no, I haven't misunderstood a thing. Sorry for the confusing wording on my part though.

Ad you were still wrong. The guy himself even said that this is more for chopping e.g. a HATCHET. Maybe I was exaggeratting when i said it was practically a club, but I was more specific with my second example. This weapon is more a hatchet as we know it rather than swords as we know them.

Another two months pass

At the beginning of the two months you ask instruct Taius to start training people which in time those who participate which are most of the tribe grow more fit and faster as time goes on.

Since you're not experienced or knowledgeable on tactics and stuff like that you stick to Archer and Infantry formations involving archers on the trees while having the stronger fighters below, you also try to have the tamed animals work more with the hunters to build up their capabilities to work together more easily, they don't really get why you're doing this but once you explain your suspicion and when more signs of the new neighbors start popping up everyone begins understanding your actions. You make sure to also take care of your children and wives while all of this happens, their pregnancies advance normally but Varu now looks almost ready to give birth, naturally Varu, Ira and Daarta don't get as much training due to their pregnancies but they still do what they can to learn.

Evangeline continues to pop in and out almost daily, sometimes she spends a few days here before leaving one night and returning the next day, you also maintain your relationship with her both in your world and hers.

During these months you try to find some fiber and what do you know? You actually find some semi transparent fiver that when you propose to the women that they use it to protect their exposed breasts they gladly incorporate it to their armor. Later on when you introduce weaving the leaf bags are quick replaced with more durable woven baskets with the new fiver you've found, with its transparent property it becomes easier to point out which basket holds what which makes the tribes life a tiny bit easier.

With the help of the knowledgeable gatherer lady you're able to make poisonous salve to coat the blades and arrows with in case it's needed.

You also discover more plants and vegetables of this land, spices even, with these new additions to the food supply you're able start making better food, the spices help in varying the menu and you even make bigger clay pots to make stew with, everyone in the tribe is grateful to you for the new variety in food.

As time goes on you start seeing more signs of your new neighbors, sometimes there are left behind spears or more clothing, your closest encounter with them is when you spot a couple in the distance during one of your trips to the river, from afar you see a figure a bit taller than Varu covered in something Grey from top to bottom standing on two legs, the only other thing you can make out its its frame which looks humanoid too, something atop it's head twitches before getting on all fours and running away in your opposite direction.

With all of this going down you're not able to find time for different armor.

------------------------

Did i miss anything?

You wake up once more with your family next to you, today it's cleaning day so that means you'll have to go to the river, everyone is still asleep though, and you can hear people already getting ready to leave, you can wake them up and leave with them but you could also let them go and wait for them to wake up before leaving.
You hear Evangeline's voice from time to time, it sounds like she's organizing the trip while everyone gets ready.

What do you do?
>Wake them up
>Wait for them
>Leave alone 1d100
>Write-in

>>1242976
>Since you're not experienced or knowledgeable on tactics and stuff like that
You learn some basic tactics in history class. Like Soviet Russia's Scorched Earth.
>>1242976
>Wait for them

>>1243002
You decide not to wake up your heavily pregnant wives and daughter so you lay back between them and wait for them to wake up, eventually the noise from outside grows louder and Evangeline's voice gets closer to your house before she pops her head in while kneeling outside the door.
"Hey Noah! Everyone's ready we're waiting on you so... "

Her voice makes everyone else inside move around before waking up, you tell her you'll follow them when everyone here is ready, she nods and says goodbye before exiting and telling everyone to follow her. Your family takes a bit more to properly wake up but when everyone is up you exit the house with everyone behind you before grabbing some light breakfast for the trip before you get on the path to the river. As you continue on your path you notice from time to time some nlack and grey figures zip among the treeline in the distance, you're the only one that has noticed this so there's no panick from your people.

What do you do?
>Speed it up
>Walk normally
>Run with them to try to catch up to Evangeline
>Call out to Evangeline
>Write-in

My phone went from 30 to 15 to 5 to 1% battery in seconds, that's why it took so long for me to write this.

>>1243228
Sure.

>>1242967

Well, I don't see why they would be insectoids. I am not saying they couldn't be, but all we know is that they are grey and black.

>>1243104
>Walk normally
>Whisper prayer to Evangeline "they're here, around my family and me" or something along these lines

I say be make friendly contact with them. Gifts generally help on first contact situations.

OP, are we wearing our coat, leave loincloth and/or some of our new clothes, or are we going around butt nacked?

Some of our clothes could be good gifs, especially our coat or clothes made from, well, cloth.

>>1243637
>>1243637
Read the post before that. About the time skip. They have something on their heads and twitch. Very much like insects. Especially the head piece which we can assume is a set of antennas.

Im not saying they certainly are insect-based anthropoids but the facts make it likely.

>>1243270

You continue to walk normally and when someone looks around you quickly get their attention, eventually the things start getting closer and you spot them more regulalry, as you walk with your family you call out to evangeline, you tell her that your new neighbors are here, they're around you and your family, you nervously ask her if she could put up a barrier around you while the rest of the tribe arrives. A few moments pass before the ground around you rumbles and moments later thick walls made of tree roots emerge from the gorund around you, evryone starts freaking out but you remind them that this is Evangeline's work, you needed this because something is out there, they all grow worried at your words before bundling up together, as time passes you hear them get closer, it almost sounds like a pack of wolves, they snarl sometimes or growl as you hear them circle the wall around you.

What do you do?
>Poke your head out to get a look at them

I don't want to intimidate them with numbers.

>>1243760
This, too.

And asume that they are most probably depredatirs, if they don't responde, or act violently, wait for the tribe.

>>1243767
One step at a time, man. I typed "only" for a reason. Information first. Wait until the next post to act. Theyre snarling and whatnot. This is aggression. Anpassive organism would merely probe out of curioisty. And we may then just want to be completely silent to trick them into thinking we're no longer here, compelling them to leave.

Also, its obvious they communicate in a similar manner of insects. They sejd and recieve signals, and hunt in a pack, though I have a feeling they work more as a hive then a wolf pack.

>>1243777
I don't think we can thrick them as if they were animals. They have spears, and clothes, after all.

>>1243782
So did cavemen. They were pretty dumb. And its they wont waste time circling a bark dome of they arent certain their efforts will be fruitful. Feeding a pack/hive is NOT easy.

>>1243784
And so did our tribe, amd they seemed fine to me, though I can compel with waiting for more information.

I still want to see what is their responce to our knocks, though.

>>1243782
And they are animals. We are too.

>>1243792
>>1243791
So... whatre you guys doing?

>>1243792
Ok, you got a point there. Let me rephrase it.

As if they were non-sentient animals.

>>1243791
We CAN wait actually. We arent hungry. But they are, enough to coprdinate a hunt after one of them caught our presence earlier.

And if the other anon agrees,

Then we will act based on the information we get from that.

>>1243807
Ok, just, you get the idea, right?

Not so inteligent/behavior based on instincts.

>>1243809
No, no knock yet. Wait until next post. Believe me, silence can dupe humans as well. Its all about planting the seed of doubt that will bloom ajd make them reconsider their choices. Will they risk further hunger and I waste precious time? Or will they ever wait?

>>1243813
lol yes

Dolphins and chimps are pretty intelligent. So are cats and dogs and a load of other animals.

>>1243760
>>1243805
>>1243809
As the noises around you get louder you call out to Evangeline once more, asking if she can see what's going on around you, but you only get a small response of "I dont know, they dont look like anything i've seen before"
You thamk her again before returning to your scared family, whatever is out there starts scratching at the wood and sometimes the scratching reaches the top of the wall before sliding back down, you also start hearing some sort of communication that's made of strange sounds they're making.

Suddenly you hear Evangeline's voice inside your head telling you to stay there a bit longer, they're almost there. A few seconds pass and you see a makeshift grappling hook thrown over the wall before latching onto the walls edge, the sounds from outside turn into cheery sounds and moments later the cratching outside slowly but stedily climbs the wall.

What do you do?

>If he/she/it attacks you, defend yourself, and if possible don't kill her/him/it

>>1243868
Because that eas on the assumption that THEY DONT HAVE GRAPPLING HOOKS? FOR SPORT? WTF. BULLSHIT. AND YOU DON TAKE TOYS IN HUNTING TRIPS.

No, diplomacy wont work with these lot. They came to kill, wont so we return the favor. Butcher most of them to edtablish dominance and do leave no room for argument that we are NOT prey. After than, force them into submission. Thrn welcome them in open arms.

This will not be war. This will be slaughter. Fend them off, return, reorganize, and recuperate. Then pursue them today.

Fearing for your family's live and yours you grab a stone that's sitting next to you and throw it at the stone hook, the sheer force of your throw manages to push it with enough force to break the hold on the wall, there's a sudden continuous scratch on the wall followed by some confused and annoyed sounds from the other side of the wall, the voices outside suddenly sound more coherent and almost familiar yet completely alien to you.
>84
After a few lines of conversation between each other it hits you, it sounds like a modified version of French! There's new words thrown in and a few are pronounced different or are spelled different but it definitely sounds like French.
Do you know French? Roll or if you actually know it just say so.

You knock on the wall a few times on the wall which earns you a few concerned sounding words from outside, in the distance you hear Evangeline's voice alongside multiple footstep of the townspeople, the strange voices from the other side start sounding worried and dim a little.

You manage to make out that they should get you too, they already managed to get quite a bit of meat and bringing you to the chief would make this good hunt an even better one. You try to communicate with them by yelling over the wall that you're friendly, they respond by talking among them about how do you know their language but they shrug it off and tell you to calm down in their own strange way before throwing another hook over the wall to start climbing again.

Evangeline and the tribe remain at a distance when they realize you can communicate so they stay back to let you do your thing.
>90
Now that you know they're somewhat sentient you figure you should climb the wall to meet then, the inward face of the wall is easy enough to climb due to small pockets engraved into the wood which you don't know if Evangeline's to thank for that or not, your family is quite distressed about your decision but they trust your decision and let you climp. You manage to get to the top before the neighbors and you find it still halfway up the wall.

They look like overgrown wolves walking on two legs, they're covered in thick Grey/black fur from head to toe, their feet and hands have thick dull claws fit for gripping instead of fighting while also having soft pads on both their feet and hands, their face is more monstrous than anything resembling a wolf's face, they look made for cold conditions, not for this warm forest

You're taken back by their beastial features but they look excited to see you before one of the ones on the floor says something about you looking like the Chief and his wife. The guy climbing continues to struggle to make his way up.

What do you do?

>>1244877

Tell him we have our own family near. If he continues to climb, we will need to stop him.

Tell our family to go to Evangeline. Then tell our goddess to keep them safe.

>Tell them we would like to meet with their leader.

Let's try to be diplomatic.

Is it not obvious that they are? And their numbers are too low to pose threat to our tribe. Also, the actions youve proposed is overdoing it. Like really dude? If anything, these guys seem like they really want to play.

The fact that they still want to 'hunt' us suggest they didn't realise. After all:
>their numbers are too low to pose threat to our tribe


>If anything, these guys seem like they really want to play.

>they already managed to get quite a bit of meat and bringing you to the chief would make this good hunt an even better one.

Even if they wouldn't hurt us and/or they are playful, our freedom is at risk.

>Also, the actions youve proposed is overdoing it.

Oh, forgive me if I made them sound too serious, I just like being technical somethimes. This is suppoced to be done with a laid-back/not too worried actitude, hence the
>Raise an eyebrow.

Already knew that. It is just that I though they had their own reasons for bwing nervious.

>For being the Spartan in this thread, did you really expect me to be so lenient and foolish?

Well, you said I was overdoing it, so I thougth you wanted to go on a different direction.

When you start acting defensively and telling him that it's in his best interest not to hunt you he stops climbing and laughs in unison with the people below.

You misunderstand me friend, we do not intend to hunt you, we've had a great hunt! Bringing you in would just make this already great hunt better because the Chief asks us to bring in more people like him to the tribe!
With the new information you relax and help him up on the last steps, you notice he's much taller than you now that he's next to you, now that you now they're friendly you tell him you would like to meet his chief since you haven't met anyone like you in a long time. He says something in his unknown dialect to the people below which makes them hooray! In unison before telling you to come down so you can be on your way since it's a long trip back home.

You ask them to wait because you need to say goodbye to your family before you leave, they all nod and say they can wait a little bit more, you jump back down onto the inside of the wall while the wolf jumps down to his side and say goodbye to everyone, they're all confused, worried and sad you're going away but you assure them you'll be back and that they're friendly, as the walls around you crumble and are pulled back into the ground you hug and kiss each one of them before walking towards Evangeline to give her the news, she shares the same feelings as your family and promises she'll try to look after you while you're out. You also tell the tribe to be wary of anything suspicious because you don't trust them, and that you'll be gone for a week, there's a mixed reception but everyone bids you farewell before you head out with the wolves.

When you start your journey the first day you come across some more human supplies lying around, its a flashlight with another plastic container full of beef jerky, you nab em both and when you show it to the wolves they get all excited because their chief likes to hoard these, that night while you're chatting about random things and what not they grab the beef jerky and share it among the six of you.

So
Since the wolves might give him/her a bad first impression of the land so you charge in and order the wolves to stay back, this would be a bad introduction to them, they slowly cease their stalking and soon enought they all come back to you with their ears flat on their heads before apologizing in unison. With that problem solved you head over to the person in the distance, as you move closer you motice it's a man around your same age and stature, he's got short black hair and he's a bit beefier than you, he's clearly scared about seeing a pack of giant wolves commanded by another human but he's still holding himself together, and he's also embarrased by his lack of clothing.

You're not loosing the only other human you've met here! You order the wolves to follow him with you but that they shouldn't try anything before you get to him, thanks to the wolves and your little experience tracking you're able to find him pretty easily, but before you actually confront him you say that the wolves are taking you to another human who happens to be their leader. You and the wolves track him for a while until you find him bruised up on a clearing watch him from the bushes and calms down before sitting against a tree to wait for you, once he's calm enough you emerge from the bushes and help him stand up while the wolves stay behind, you explain the situation once more to him after introducing yourself once more, you learn his name is David when he gets the chance to introduce himself.

Thanks to running away from you he has a lot of bruises on his body which need treatment to prevent an infection.

So Noah knows Italian too! What an interesting man he is!

Deciding It's best not to get the wolves involved you stealthily walk to where she/he is, as you get closer you notice it's a woman, and she seems to be doing quite well for herself, you notice her short wavy brown hair is well kept while also taking in her toned body, she's made a bedroll out of furs, she has a makeshift coat of furs over her with a Primitive bow and dagger strapped to her, at the center of the camp she has quite a few chunks of meat lying next to campfire. You sneak closer and call out to her, she responds in Italian which you actually know your way around, you tell her you mean her no harm while making sure to show that you're not carrying any weapons or anything dangerous, she relaxes once you've showed her you're friendly and you step closer into the camp while you introduce yourself and start explaining the situation to her, you learn her name is Alda and that she's clearly distressed about the whole thing but she's glad there's more humans around when you mention you're meeting with another person on your trip, she starts packing up the important stuff while you warn her about your companions while she continues packing up.

The wolves and David are still asleep when the two of you arrive

>>1248990

Well, it is time for me to go to sleep.

See you tomorrow.

>>1248979
>>1248990
You sit back at a reasonable distance from them to not wake them up with your talk, you start off with friendly conversation before drifting off into details about you life before all this and how it's been after your arrival, you stick to family friendly stuff like the improvements and how you've advanced with your tribe, she's quite impressed with what you've managed and say's she would love to chek it out once you're done with this leader guy, she's had quite the boring life since she got here, just hunting and crafting stuff, nothing much. When you're about done talking you hear one of the wolves start wking up, when he realizes there's another human his eyes widden and his tail starts furiously wagging from side to side before he wakes up his brothers, once they're all up they sorround her to start inspecting her, she's a bit weirded out but she let's it happen and she even giggles when one of the wolves gets to feral and starts sniffing all over her, at some point David greets her with you translating for him.

After a while when the wolves are done everyone get's ready before you start walking again. When nuight falls she's more used to the wolves than David and she even plays with them sometimes when they start acting feral.

>67

The next day after everyone's morning bussiness has been settled you get on the orad again, during the walk the wolves sense somre prey which makes them get on all fours before they start hunting them, you, David and Alda stay where you are to wait for them to come bakc, after a while they come back carrying some carcasses for you to strip.

You come across a lake as night gets closer in which you all decide to make camp at.

Anything you wanna do before turning in for the next day?

So, I want to make a propoce for the next time skip. Basically, it is an improved defence system made to secure our village. Since it is the major threat we have at the moment, I will justify my plan on the effectivness it could provably have against parasites.

What do we know about parasites? They don't have equipment, they catch their prey before connecting with (neutralising) them, and they catch them by jumping.

We can judge by the village previous encounter with them that they are inmune/though enough against low-poundage bows, bone daggers, wooden spears, and wooden/stone(?) clubs/maces to disourage engaging, even with numerical advantage.

Effectivness of flint edged weapons and longbows is unknow.

Grabbing strengh seems greater than humans, though the fact that they can grab things with their whole body is into play. Lifthing strengh is unknow.

In regards to their inteligence, they seem smart enough to have define personalities and a culture. In regards to their culture, all we can guess is that when a parasite is in their last staje of evolving/pregnansy, they come to the aid of the transforming parasite (which most probably is needed) and aboid attacking the group the parasite desided to live with, to the point they choose to neutralise 'dangerous' individuals with non-letal means. Confirmation of this theory and more information regarding paradites society can be obtained from Dartaa if we choose to ask her, this information, including the understanding of the POV of the regular parasite may help in further encounter with them, and may even save some lives.

>Defences:
Anything that can dicourage them from going head-first into us. Walls cost too many resourses and work, and there is the pocibility they impede the village's growt/expansion.

Thus, I propose the use of chevaux de frise (didn't find a better name), the first barrier would consist of spikes at ground level (preferably made of sharpened flint), stability could be given by connectin this spikes to a solid base, we could shape tree logs into long boards for that. This would give some protection to the second layer of defence, which would be like pic related, ideal for countering the parasites jumps, but could probably be moved out of the way by large numbers of parasites, ence, the first barrier.

>Offensive:
We nees more dakka. As simple as that. The parasites seem to have unnatural thougness which probably is backed up with the ability to sustain great amounts of damage, semingly due to a probable complete lack of vital organs and vital spots.

Close melee combat should be avoided if possible. But in case it is unevitable/needed, shields effectivness in defleting a parasite charge is unknown, but the parasite taking hold of a shield after being deflected seems likely, spears capasity to sustain damage is unknow, thoug likely to be effective, effectivness in prolonged combat is unknow (will it get stuck? The paradites can take control of the wapon with ease?).
(Cont.)

>>1249925
While everyone discards their little clothing you ask the wolves about their tribe before everyone starts to get in the water, the water's pretty warm despite the cool air around you, you spend a while asking the wolves about their tribe, you learns there's not that many of them, just thirteen couples with a few humans too, their tribe is pretty monogamous thanks to their chief who values long relationships and they're nomads, they hunt and forage for a month before packing up and leaving. The chief showed up one day with his wife already accompanying him, the wolves were in a pretty bad spot at the time and he helped them re-stabalize themselves, after that the tribe decided to name him their leader.

Once you're done with your questions you relax and use the soap plants around the water which seem to be a different species from the ones back home. Once everyone leaves the warm water the bite of the cold wind makes itself more noticeable which makes you an the other three humans reach to their clothing as soon as possible, the wolves on the other hand look way more comfortable now. You have dinner and talk among each other for a while with you translating most of it before everyone goes to sleep.

Nothing interesting happens during your trip, eventually as the day goes on the mountains get closer and the cold grows, when night-time arrives you finally reach your destination, It's a village with a primitive stone wall surrounding it their houses consists of large tents that look easy to build and take down, when the wolves walk in you follow them to the main campfire, David and Alda are naturally nervous but you cool them down, when you arrive six she-wolves come running to their respective mate to lovingly greet them before shaking each of the humans' hands. The humans who are around the fire eventually join them to greet all of you, once they have all introduced themselves in their native languages and in French a beefy and bald man quite a few years older than you exits the largest tent with a beautiful woman following him closely, your human companions look nervous but you remain cool and wait for his approach.

How do you greet him?

>We can judge by the village previous encounter with them that they are inmune/though enough against low-poundage bows, bone daggers, wooden spears, and wooden/stone(?) clubs/maces to disourage engaging, even with numerical advantage.
This is inaccurate. Especially concerning the numerical advantage. We've never hear of or experienced said encounters. You have to understand the parasites are more offensive-oriented than defensive.

>Anything that can dicourage them from going head-first into us.
>chevaux de frise
They don't charge. They prowl and leap like typical predators. This will only prevent them from rushing in. But our village is large and spacious enough to, if you still insist they will charge, still charge.

>The parasites seem to have unnatural thougness which probably is backed up with the ability to sustain great amounts of damage, semingly due to a probable complete lack of vital organs and vital spots.
I wouldnt say that. They have an amorphous body. But their vitals and organs are likely beneath the amorphous membrane. Scientifically speaking, you can't be alive if you dont have organs--even the simplest of single-celled organisms do. It has to do with fulfilling the life functions and maintaining bio-chemical equilibrium.

>shields effectivness in defleting a parasite charge is unknown
Again, they do not charge. But just for your own knowledge, spearmen would be ordered to take front to face cavalry charges to puncture horse, causing them to fall and bring their riders down with them. In this case, it would be more effective to have one person lift and hold a large shield, near the size of their body, to withstand the impact as another person directly behind them, their partner, thrusts their spear forward and into the parasite.

>>1252768
"Hello, my name is Noah. Before we proceed, I would like to know the purpose of having my presence requested here. I would imagine my two other companions would as well. "

>>1252787
You greet him and introduce yourself before politely asking why does Que require your presence? You also add that your companions probably would too.

Well, i had you brought here to have a chance at a better life while you're here, im sure you would prefer living here instead of some dangerous forest

David lights up when his words are translated by one of the people nearby and he's immediately sold on staying, Alda is a bit suspicious but she still considers the option.

I want to believe my wolves have explained how our community works so If you would like to stay I'll have a tent set for you and maybe introduce you to a few of out single ladies

Alda is still unconvinced but what about you?
What do you do?

>>1252853
"My apologies. I can't take you up on that offer. I have a tribe I have a vital place in, but above all, a family to love and care for. I neither can nor am interested in abandoning them. But thank you."

>>1252679
Thus, the best course of action maybe be having enough damage capasity to make them recoliate from us. The weapon capable of delivering the most potent blow would be a new class of macuahitl, one made for two-handed use. The higher weight, point speed, and flint edge will result in the most potent blow an infividual can deliver with out current technology.

Now, that was individual combat, what about groups?

Spears, spears everywhere, by it a phalanx, a group of pikemen, or 3 dudes with long pointy stick. Spear walls are awsome, and they have been the best choice when you want to rekt the absolute shit out of anything.

On the range weapon sides, we maybe want to introduce crossbows (because there is no success like excess), I don't know any crossbows' tactics, but muskets' 'pike and shot' tactics (or any other muskets' tactics) should work, right?

>>1252775
>This is inaccurate.

Well, let's ask Varu for details, then.

>They don't charge.
By charge I meant jumping directly towards you.

>This will only prevent them from rushing in.

That is pretty much the point: slow them as much as we can so we can shot at them everything we have.

>But our village is large and spacious enough to, if you still insist they will charge, still charge.

What I explained was the basic structure, we can add more and more layers as the months go.

>But just for your own knowledge, spearmen would be ordered to take front to face cavalry charges to puncture horse, causing them to fall and bring their riders down with them.

Bro, I know how pikes were used, it is in what the defences consist.

>In this case, it would be more effective to have one person lift and hold a large shield, near the size of their body, to withstand the impact as another person directly behind them, their partner, thrusts their spear forward and into the parasite.

Well, I don't see why don't try it.

You shake your head and politely decline his offer then you explain your situation with your own tribe and how you have a family to take care of back home, you already have a place to live in so you're not interested in leaving them to stay here so you'll start your trip back home tomorrow morning. He looks disappointed with your answer but he nods before asking you if you would join them for dinner?

When Alda hears about your family she tells you she would like to come with you if you would allow it.

Now what do you do?
>Join them
>Eat alone with or without Alda
>Ask him something
>Write-in

>By charge I meant jumping directly towards you.
They dont jump that far lol

>That is pretty much the point: slow them as much as we can so we can shot at them everything we have.
No. It's feeble. Hardly 5 seconds for all that work to set it up?

>What I explained was the basic structure, we can add more and more layers as the months go.
They REALLY dont look like they stack. If youre going to add more layers upon layers, you call that a wall. Which, like you insisted, would impede growth and mobility. Also, the spikes will then be obsolete. Also, they're strong enough to tackle the wall and shatter those weak sticks. You don't build walls in that manner, cross-hatching, with wood. Or just in that manner in general--it's weak and used more for supporting a structure, not acting as a wall. The chevaux de frise forces HUMANS to need to walk around or try to lift it away while risking being riddled with bullets or whatever projectile.

>Bro, I know how pikes were used, it is in what the defences consist.
Rephrase your sentence, please. It's unclear. But either way, I was offering a solution. You just mentioned spear and went "hey, maybe we can stab them or maybe we cant." So I gave a tactic. Then one after specially tailored to the parasite because they arent humans and dont behave as such.

No. I don't trust them.

>>1252934
Of course.
>Eat with Alda

>Ask him something
"How did you start? When you first arrived? Do you recall ever having gotten here?"
