Once your headache subsides, you open up the door of your REPAIR MODULE and crawl out, falling to the soft sand. You stare at the orange sky before taking a deep breath, getting up.

"Alright Vapor, Time to do your job." You muttered to yourself, remembering your name and subject number, 180.

You look around your surroundings, seeing nothing but dunes of sand for miles. "Greeeeat." You sarcastically say to yourself. "Assign someone to a desert planet to get water from you!"

You kick the sand out of frustration, feeling the ground you're on shake after doing so. The tremors escalate, as if a large entity is coming from under you.

As well, here is the previous tribe, as well as a periodically updated pastebin with relevant tribal info (currently, mostly just population).

Have we finished the walls? The mill? If not continue with them please.

As to additional actions, I want to expand our docks and try to create a slipway into the lake, so as to assist in creating larger boats.

Another thing I wish to do is begin expanding our farmlands again. Taking advantage of all of our horses and other such assets.

Lastly, I want to hold a council meeting / festival (unification, end of summer celebration and welcoming / meeting with the new strangers) to discuss plans for expansion, to contribute ideas for projects, to combine our various methods to develop solutions and lastly, to learn of anything the strangers developed we could make use of.

>>315705
I agree with everything this Anon said.
>>315781

I just want to add:Start building/planning more forages to up brick production, Gigi, Uru and Seddem should be teaching more people brick making.
Start asking the bear tribe for what ever weapons they can offer, anything different will get bought for more.
Ask the new people from the Mountain tribe details about the tribe, any new tech, troops, house build and such.

“Mitchell,” you yell, louder than is probably needed. “He’s gonna bury us all with that thing.”

Ty immediately sees what you’re talking about, and shifts his aim ever so slightly. Five rounds leave his barrel, and they start at his stomach, and walk up his chest until the final bullet tears his teeth through the back of his skull.

Falling back, the man’s lifeless hands depress the trigger on his launcher, and send the warhead into a grouping of his fellow asshats. Two manage to dive mostly out of the way, but are still thrown clear of the trench. A third is feet from where the explosion happens, and is ripped apart by concussive force and melted copper.

There is a single moment of utter silence as everyone waits with baited breath for the wall of snow and ice to come storming down. It never does, and the fighting continues.

Your shots go quite high, being amazed by the work of art performed with five simple bullets.

The Gurkhas open fire, and one immediately dives back behind cover to fix a jam in his FAL. Another misses his shot, but the third hits his mark, one of the men thrown by the rocket.

The return fire comes, as always, and another gurkha falls back, his hand shooting under his armor, and a visible wave of relief comes over his face as it leaves his chest clean and bloodless.

>There are still 4 enemies left, all in the near trench, roughly 50 yards away, armed with some sort of assault rifle
>You effectively have 1 hand, and are armed with an MP5. Within reach are a potentially haunted PKM, and your XM8. You also have a g19 and a g26 on you
>Plan of action?

>>315621
>PKM
How much ammo, approximately, is left in the PKM?
If we can get it back up and on its bipod, we can suppress the remaining enemies in the trench so that the rest of our guys and the Gurkhas can try to flank the trench.

>>315677
You don't think you've fired half the hundred round belt yet, but you're pretty sure you're getting close.

The PKM is still leaning on the low wall, and would not take much effort at all to start firing again.

bumping

A pleasant melody fills the air. The blind girl is playing the viola for her sister, Hideaki and you, but unbeknownst to her, legendary heroes from the past are spectating. Lancer is sitting on a chair next to Akira with his eyes closed, enjoying the tune to the fullest. Archer is standing in the back of the room, on the other hand, staring at the young lady with keen interest.

It’s undeniable that she is absolutely stunning right now. The peaceful look on her face, her precise movements with her delicate hands, all contributes to make her look even better than she normally would. The music has a nostalgic undertone, which you don’t mind if not for the fact that it highlights the absence of Saber.

Your Servant refused to materialize, explaining that she would rather stay in spirit form except for when the situation requires otherwise.
Thinking back to her words, you gently stroke the back of your hand where your Command Spells are, as if attempting to grasp the physical manifestation of the bond that existed between you two.

This is not something the ‘old’ Saber would have said. After the incident at the school, she seems to have withdrawn further deep within herself, leaving out a mere shell of who she used to be. The ‘new’ Saber seems to be entirely goal-oriented, and even if you have not interacted much with her, such a change could be beneficial to you.

With no more moral restraints, your Servant could be the ultimate tool for this task, but you can’t help feeling a tinge of regret for how things turned out to be in the end. Shaking these insecurities off, you recollect yourself and clap your hands at the end of Lilly’s performance, like everybody else.

The blonde girl takes a bow, and the Servants dematerialize. Even if she’s blind, she can hear quite well, so Servants are absolutely not free to roam in the house. Or at least, that’s what Akira said. You’re glad you’re used to call her by first name, so you can still refer to her older sister more formally calling her by surname.

Lilly puts her viola aside and pulls her chair closer to the to the table and next to her sister. The two start conversing, while Hideaki, who’s been watching from the back of the room just like his Servant, seizes the opportunity and goes back upstairs. You, on the other hand, decide to sit on the sofa opposite to the TV.

You’ve never been too fond of technology, just like most magi, yet staring at your reflection in the black screen helps you concentrate.
This Holy Grail War so far has been an absolute bloodbath. You don’t mind that some Masters died, however the fact that innocent people had to pay with their own lives for those guys’ folly still bothers you.

In addition to that, a lot of mysterious circumstances surround this ritual, and you feel like you’ve just been scraping the surface so far. Surviving Avenger’s Noble Phantasm, the ‘Sword that Killed the Unicorn’, the rebellion of the Harway family and last but not least, Ruler’s intervention last night and his new persona, all of these phenomena and riddles remain unexplained.

You divert your attention to the sisters once again. While Lilly is a polite young lady, Akira is still the same tomboyish and easy going person as always. Given how she behaves and dresses, it would be easy to mistake her for the eldest of the two. The only noticeable difference in her usual demeanor is the protective attitude she has around her sister.

“Say, Akira, how did you come to meet Frederick?”, Lilly asked during the conversation in her usual, refined tone.
You introduced yourself earlier over a cup of tea, but you really didn’t go into the details of your meeting with her sister, so her interest is more than justified.

Akira is clearly uncomfortable because of the question, mumbling something about work and ‘head-hunting’. You assume she doesn’t mean that literally, so it must be some sort of business slang. Lilly chuckles softly, then turns her attention to you.
“You must really be special, mr Frederick. My sister never introduced any of her boyfriends to me”.

Akira’s face changes color, from her usual albino white to a deep red. Grasping the situation and the implications of Lilly’s statement, you move in to defuse any misunderstanding.
“Oh, me and your sister don’t have that kind of relationship, miss Satou. Our partnership is merely professional”. That wouldn’t be even false, if you consider ‘being a magus’ a profession.

“I see, I see. In any case, I’d like to know more about you”, Lilly says, lifting herself up from the chair she was sitting on with the help of a crutch. “Would you mind coming with me to the Shanghai Tea Shop? My cousin works there”
You gulp. You and Yuuko didn’t part on the best terms, but when you look at Akira for help, she’s repeatedly tilting her head to the side, as if to urge you to get out.

>Accept Akira’s suggestion and leave with Lilly

Leaving the musician as he begins his song ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uirXFig0IQ ), you walk over to the wooden table - looking around for pretty barmaids as you walk - where the two men are drinking and arguing. Both men are wearing grey, full-body boiler suits - they're probably two of the miners the barman mentioned.

"Listen," the bearded man insists, "it was nothing to do with 'underground magma chambers'". I've been mining those mountains for sixteen years now and I have never seen anything like it, not in my whole life."

"All it was the ignition of a natural gas deposit. Just a big cavern of gas that caught fire. Doesn't sound too unlikely, not like what you're proposing. We both know how sparks can trigger gas."

"Good evening," you say to the men as you reach them. "May I join you?"

The men glance at one another, then the more shaven man says "Alright."

"I overheard your conversation whilst walking through the pub," you confess. "I'm a travelling merchant; I've had a tiring day and I'd appreciate joining in. Do you mind?"

"It's fine," says the bearded man. "I'm Brian; this here is Jon. Nice to meet you."

"We've been debating what've been going up in the mines up north," says Jon.

(cont.)

"Do you know the mines in the Springstream Mountains?" he asks.

"I don't, no."

"They mostly turn out ores. Anyway, some unusual things have been occurring there over the last fortnight and no-one's quite sure of the cause. First there were earth tremors, which forced us to halt mining. Then there were strange loud noises heard, like short roars. Some of us noticed that there had been disturbances around some of the trails - mostly rockfalls, and some depressed vegetation."

"Trampled, I call it," comments Brian. "You make it sound like those birches were sad."

"Likely this was due to the strong wind we've been experiencing lately. Then about a week ago, we saw a huge pillar of fire rising out of between two of the hills, lasting less than a minute before stopping."

"Interesting," you say, and take a gulp of mead.

"Now, it is my opinion that the phenomenon was due to the ignition of a small chamber of flammable natural gas."

"And what do you think, Brian?" you ask.

"I think it was the waking of a dragon."

[Reasonable write-ins are always welcome.]

>Ask them to describe what they saw personally in greater detail. Nothing like a good story from somewhere safely fair away.
>Change the subject; ask them if they've brought down any ores to sell.
>Express skepticism. Dragons don't exist in the modern world.
>Leave the table and find someone else to talk to. You'd heard there were other travellers in the inn - it's more likely then not that some of them are fellow merchants, and that means businesss.

>Change the subject; ask them if they've brought down any ores to sell.

This is the current war plan. The darker purple arrow is Valornia's current route to Haven Island, 10 Frigates being escorted by 11 Galleons along with the navies of Kalisia, 12 Frigates and 4 Carracks, and Albrinn, 7 Frigates and 2 Carracks.

On the way, you its almost certain you will encounter Zureisian naval units and you have!

Roll1d10 to see who you will face.

1-4: Blockade - 15 Galleon and 10 Frigates
5-7: Large Patrol - 9 Galleon and 5 Frigate
8-10: Small Patrol - 2 Galleon and 3 Frigate

Can we get the knights of Holy Azelf to join us in this war? After all, Zureis and their allies are clearly going against what Arceus wants them to be, what with genocide and all that. We should be bringing faith back to them.

From upon the bubbling swamp you observe the frozen form of the Aniunakei Curer for a further moment. You begin once again tracing a smoky limb along the markings of its surface, your innate knowledge speaking of how they allow great movements of power. Inklings of blessings, prayers, and curses rest on the edge of your mind. Somewhat innately you feel they’re beyond you for the moment.

Yet, long dead and abandoned, you feel you should attempt a prayer for the statue of the Curer. Your secret knowledge professes that such methods of communion are singular emotive emanations, soul to soul, and so towards the statue of the ancient Curer you emit…

You are in the North, near some Lords castle.
Winter has not yet come, but you are by no means accustom to the bitter cold Northerner's are constantly subject to. You feel vulnerable from the cold, and head to the castle in hopes of some assistance before you are on your way.
You notice the castle's banner, and identify it as that of the Bolton's. That wouldn't mean too much if you didn't know what the bastard Ramsay Snow was capable of.

Do you
-Head to the Dreadfort and risk becoming Ramsay Snow's toy?
or
-Try your luck elsewhere?

What a night. You finally return to the all-too-familiar stench of your flat with your old friend Dalt Frey in tow. He's been quite the haul, what with his infrequent foot-pedaling and lack of motivation.

Once he's all set up on your foldout bed, arms and legs splayed out like someone making a figure in the snow, you turn on the telescreen and flip channels until it lands on a pazaak channel in some unknown language. You don't think it's from Nar Shaddaa.

Your apartment is about 1/4 a Nar Shaddaa restroom in size — in other words, a quarter of the average Undercity alleyway — and it smells like one too. It is situated just above a factory that recycles Nar Shaddaa refuse into material for the city's many building projects. Suffice it to say, you don't get much sleep during work hours, and the crowded nature of the Slums makes it nigh-impossible to procure a proper flat anywhere else. Still, better than squatting.

Unfortunately, this is all you can afford for the time being, but things may look up soon. Ever since Dalt become involved with an almost-savory (you've got to admit, it's surprisingly legitimate when you rule out the private detention cells and enforcers) swoop ring with sizable debts to boot, job prospects for you have gone right on up. In fact, your new Weequay "buddy", Gwan, has promised to fill you in on a mission starting early tomorrow.

All things considered, sleeping may not be as difficult as you thought it would be. You only had to kill three people today, and that's the least it's been for a long while. Whereas most up-and-comers make it their mission to exterminate hostile threats — hell, most Nar Shaddaa kingpins prefer it that way — you've always preferred to keep things clean and simple. That way, you can prioritize making money over getting shot in the karking head.

With your holoprojector all set up, you've got just enough time to take care of business before tomorrow. What do you do?
