Giant Civ Quest Part 3: A New Dawn

Will wait like 10m for people to show up, if not enough come Ill try again later/tomorrow.

I missed the end of the thread last night so I'm not entirely sure where we need work. I suppose if nothing is life threatening, one can not go wrong with magic research.

Rukova, I see you changed your name! Ill have to be sure to fix that!
>>37311575
Just a heads up, researching 2 thing is possible but it will confer negative modifications to action rolls.

>>37311233
Aww shit. Till what time will you be around OP? In the Uni now and would rather not be super distracted by Civ threads

Fuck you coursework!

>>37311718
Figured I was fully necro, so the frost part made little sense.

Ah, alright then. Do we have a map we can refer to? Would make scouting easier

Rolled 22 (1d100)

>>37312065
I am so retarded

Scout Eastward then

>>37311910
Still say we should investigate the Orange lights we saw during the Dark. Could be a village we could raid or trade with

>Catch More Mammoths
Your Huntsmen set out hours before sunrise, finding the Mammoths sleeping where the herd rested before. Despite the lack of ropes or feed they manage to grab a young sow, literally carrying her back to the Deep Cave.

Your huntsmen must have gotten quite twisted around because despite them saying they saw the lights miles to the south, only a short way to the south your scouts spot what looks like a small village. There are fields growing in the cover of several hills and thin smoke drifts from stone chimneys.

Let's try to do this peacefully, unless they're a cult of Shabboth or something...

>>37312346
This, if they're humans, we're not quite in the best position yet to deal with them.

>>37312316
Send in the scouts to chill (HEH) with the villagers.

>>37312316
Ok we still gotta harvest our lobster traps, I can't be the only one who forgot those succulent beasties.

Can we tell how big the buildings are?

Send a scout ready to flee if there is trouble

Rolled 99 (1d100)

>>37312366

agreed

>>37312366
Hopefully not, but if they are it would be nice to work something out

>>37312379
>>37312346
Two 99's nice

>>37312346
This. Also, we could move off to the east and light a big bonfire. They might go and investigate and it would be away from our actual camp.

>>37312383
Work something out? The humans drove us from our homelands. I think binding their frozen corpses as thralls to us is the best option for them. Once we are in a position to do so at least.

>>37312346
>>37312379
Compared to the other rolls, it looks like this is the best course of action. Figure out who they are and try and send our most diplomatic individuals if they appear friendly.

>Observe the Village

Your scouts lay flat against the hillside, doing their absolute best to hide their towering forms.
>>37312346
The people of the village are clearly not human, despite your giants waiting and watching for several days they see the same small group of individuals working non-stop
>>37312379
There seems to be several dozen being in the village, only 6 never stop being active.

>>37312416
I meant like temporary peace until we can comfortably survive and use that kind of magic

As an aside, Jyoti is afraid of what may happen if Ice-Quartz were to cut someone or enter their bloodstream since it grows when in contact with water

>>37312542
This. Also, do we need a complete corpse for Bind Life?
Or can we just use, say. . . A mammoth skull?

>>37312584
Says complete in the description. But if we research necromancy more, it might become possible.

>Send your Scouts in peacefully.
Your scouts are seen almost instantly. The population of the village visibly gather before their homes. The Closer your Scouts get the more visibly human the villagers seem. Worry spreads to your Scouts, memory of the people who drove you from your home setting them on edge. Only when they are within shouting distance do they see something... Different.
The 6 your scouts saw working constantly stand before their tribe, skin an offshade of blue. Their eyes are pitch black and bodies devoid of hair. "Ho, Titans! What brings you to our humble homes?" Their voice rises as one, sounding nothing but organic. Behind them the rest of the village is visibly human, cowering behind their leaders.
>Speak - Write in
>Other - Write in

do you have any specific system you use to resolve success failures or anything? If you do, would you mind sharing? Sorry for interrupting. Just a prospective CM trying to get some starting advice. Please see this OP.

>>37312604
If we discover Rune magic, or if that's even a thing in this game, it may be the solution to our necromancy/cryomancy hurdles

>>37312655
>Speak, tell them we were looking around to see what was around our settlement.

>>37312655
I roll against my players, even their lowest rolls have sometimes been much higher than mine. Sometimes their worst rolls beat me, turning the lowest rolls into at least minor successes.

>>37312654
Curiosity! We wish to know who are neighbours are in this frozen land.

Rolled 94 (1d100)

>>37312654
"Ho, Blue-skin. We are but scouts and we saw your village. In a show of peace, we come here to greet you and make our presence known. If I may be so bold, what manner of creature are you?"

>>37312654
>>37312725

>>37312689
>>37312715
Make clear that we are looking for friends, not enemies. We greet these newfound peoples with open arms.

>>37312725
Aww yeah, high roll. With that, I'll make be off for a bit. Have to make the long walk back home. See you in a bit OP!

If my speech gets taken, I hope I didn't shit things up

>Rolls a 94

These rolls today! How many virgins did y'all sacrifice to the dice gods?

>>37312786
They are pitying us for yesterday holy shit

>>37312786
as many as were necessary

One of your Scouts steps forward. "Ho, Small-kin. We are but Scouts and saw your village. As a show of peace we wished to make our presence known. Forgive our ignorance but what manner of people are you?"

Again as one the blue-skins speak "We are but humble creations of our errant master, born of glass and soul. Homunculi." With a sweep of their hand they motion to the humans behind them "And these are our wards." Almost as an afterthought "How many is your tribe?"

>>37312809
>Continue conversing
>Ask for X?
>Leave, tell them you will return
>Warn them of your tribe
>Other

>>37312809

Them wanting to know our numbers scares me but we could use some allies in this land.

>>37312834
We are a small tribe not many near thirty (trying to find out more about them but also lieng saying we are stronger)

Rolled 40 (1d100)

Explain we are refugees in this strange land and we want to be careful, don't tell them our numbers.


Oh oh, Rukova, we need to send someone to gather the remains of our lost tribesmen and enshrine them in the Death Altar. We probably can't raise them for a while but they should have a place of honor for their sacrifice

Rolled 20 (1d100)

>>37312890
Seconding. On both fronts.

"Have your people lived here long? Do you still search for your maker?" Your scouts manage to relax a little, leaning on clubs rather than gripping them at their sides.
"Our maker will never return, we have come to peace with this long ago." Gesturing back to the humans behind them the group disperses, setting about the labors of their community. "We have lived here for a very long time and plan on living here much longer! Still you have not answered, how many are you?" The curt way they bring it back makes it very clear they are used to being answered when they ask.
"Oh we are not many, forced from our homes in the south by... Other humans."
The Homunculi seem to have other things to do about their village and inform your scouts of that. Wishing them to return again with some more forewarning, they may be willing to trade.

Why do you want to tell them we are a small tribe? Golumns with a master are suspicious, especially immediately adding for our numbers.

Your huntsmen go out looking for the remains of those lost in the Long Dark, sadly they only find the bodies of two. One with his leg twisted beyond repair and the other not far from the first, his flesh stripped away leaving only pearly bones behind. (+2 Giant skeletons) The sight of the long dead bring bad memories back to your tribe.

Agreed. Let's do this.

Unhappy you send your Scouts out to redeem themselves. This time the search is more in the mountains than before, digging through snow piles and looking into crags. One of your more driven scouts dives into the glacial lake, swimming to the bottom of the lake bed in his search. Depressed and with their heads hung low they return. No Child, they fear the worst.
Your other kin are much more lucky, finding ragged wheat growing out of the harsh dirt they gather several handfuls of this rare foodsource. (Found Ragged Wheat seeds)

Time for my dream of a balanced diet to come true!
Plant the seeds in the garden.

Seems like the general idea for this turn is to ask the spirits for help finding our potentially demonic child and starting a farm.

Can we all agree on this? Just trying to make CM's life easier here.

Your garden doesnt spend long unseeded, almost as soon as the seeds are in hand they are returned to the garden, pushed deep into the dark soil.

You ask for Rukova to look into the spirit world, trying to find the child. After several days before her shrine, eyes sealed with fatwax she concludes that The Child is not there, she must still be alive.

Your scouts go out into the hills where the watchman said they saw the glowing Giant.
The clubs are left behind, axes in hand.
The Child lays curled at the base of a mountainside, she awakens when your Scouts approach. Her skin is badly sunburnt and her eyes glow with white light. "Hello Aunties and Uncles." She says, almost serenely. About her neck hands a necklace made of what your scouts think are human rib bones. When she moves to stand your scouts take a small step back, her aura fades with the rising sun, her eyes no longer glowing with inner light. "Can we go home now? Im very hungry."

I assume if we raised some mammoth skeletons we could ride them, yes? Surely they don't need 'initiative or skill' to do that?

You send the child back to the Mystics and again they look her over. She smiles and greets them again, happy to see her Auntie and Uncle again even as they have her lay on the stone floor, tracing her veins with Ice Quartz and Giant Bone. After several hours both their heads pound, despite their best attempts they can only say something about The Child is terribly wrong.

You ask Rukova to try and push back the veil of her craft further. Despite her being tired and strung out she nods, stepping back into her alter.

I wonder if I can harden and shape Ice Quartz eventually for armor.

Oh I did have the idea to create Icicle Quartz Spears by slowly dripping water onto a point

>>37315851
Backing it. we need to prepare for the great frost. we can't endure it directly yet.

Maybe instead of wasting all this time now we should start researching our cold weather gear and prepare so we don't nearly starve to death again. We can research the fun stuff all we want once we're entombed in ice and snow with lots of food.

Seriously we almost fucking game over'd because we had no idea how fucking brutal the winter was gonna be.

You have the tribe furnish and fortify the cave against the Long Night. Over the next few weeks what furs are left are laid against the walls, a pair of heavy Hardwood doors are built against the cave mouth.

I'll second searching. We need to prepare for winter, but our population is too low to lose more.

>>37315953
we need to find out why the fuck we keep going missing. and if its the homonculi we will kill them

If any one wants to check our Orc Civilization Quest, feel free, also, announcement to anybody who used to be in it and thought I died. Sorry for interrupting and advertising. I feel bad now, not trying to gain sympathy either, so don't feel bad for me.

>>37315953
We should investigate the Homunculi regarding the missing scout

Your hunters are set out to look for the missing youngling. Their search is laughably short, finding the Scout beside the lake, struggling to pull a young mammoth corpse along behind him. (+10 Mammoth meat 1 Mammoth fur)

Build a firepit in the cave with a chimney to redirect the smoke/ Excavate so we can fit mammoths inside the cave

>>37316088
hunt. but I'd still like to find what keeps happening to our people.

>>37316155
Breeding happens naturally over time, to say out people arent actively having sex on their free time is just silly. Same with our livestock. Its just with Giants and the Mammoths it takes a long time to give birth, and for the children to grow up

We need to find us some psychotropic shrooms to aid in our magic research

>>37316322
violetmushrooms are acidic remember that

Your hunstmen are exuberant, good hauls over the spring season have kept them fired up. With minimal time they lay waste to several buffalo, even a few Mammoths. They return to the camp with chants on their lips. (+200 Food, all hide is used making your home cozier for the winter.)

Rukova has finished delving into her craft, her veins are blackened with necrotic energy.
>A. SoulBind - Bind a souls energy to a fetish, this process takes some time
>B. Rotting Rend - Cause horrible necrosis to target
>C. Call Soul - Call a soul from the afterlife for information, possible to contract souls to serve the caster.

Also, mammoth dung for fuel.

Your tribe sets about the cave walls trying to find a way to mine them without a source of iron, Jyoti comes up with an idea. Despite the Ice Quartz not being meant to strike hard surfaces he places a small shard in a crack, pouring a small bit of water on the shard it grows, breaking the stone. (Ice Quartz Mining discovered)
Jyoti is sent do meditate on his craft again, inside the Quartz cave comes the sound of crunching snow.
Your Tribe makes itself a large firepit inside the Deep Cave, surely this will help against the Long Night.
