Rrrgh. Not exactly satisfied with the whole Zenth- wait, it's ZETHNORing? Well I'll be... failing my reading comprehension exam. Anyway, not exactly thrilled with how uppity they've been lately.

So long as we can cancel our subscription to Rolling Stone, I'll go along with 1.

As much as this doesn't take much time at a time to update, I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed by all my personal projects lately. I'm gonna put this on hiatus for a week and see from there. I love y'all and hopefully a little break is all I need to come back feeling fresh after. :3

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #124 on:** September 07, 2013, 12:18:47 AM »

Yeah, definitely take a break. Papa Iskalli wouldn't want you to overwork yourself anyway!

The King of Dragon Pass LPer, Arashi, has taken a week-long sabbatical. However, one of your thanes reminds you that you could pick up a copy of the game yourself to pass the time. You may even already own a copy.

1. Purchase the game and enjoy it to bridge the gap before Arashi starts up again.
2. Simply wait for Arashi to start up again.
3. Play it after the LP is finished.
4. Purchase it and then forget you have it right away, only to discover that you still have it installed 15 months from now.
5. Attain a 'possibly perfectly potentially legal' copy of the game through measures that are 'most certainly maybe legal' and then brag about it.

It would be best to study how to be a great leader first and then embark on your own adventure. (3)

Why didn't we play a warring clan? I would've had the Elkenvali fake surrender 20 times by now! (1, 3)

I've successfully haggled with them to drop their price. Does gog.com accept cattle as payment? (1, 3)

I've been waiting for a chance to do something cool for the council for 12 years! You can wait another 3 or 4 days for one. (2)

I'm dead, Hon. I don't have to give a rubblerunner's ass anymore.

In the land of Arkham, a great stone fell from the sky, cursing the Gardner clan's lands. Wait, is this the right update? Is this even the right mythos? (1)

Sure, but I could be LARPing as my Warhammer 40k battle sister character in the meantime. (4)

Yew lurgy-ridden milksops! I'll plunder this 'ere loot and 'ave the picaroon whipped harder than a mainsail in a nor'easter a'fore the morrow! Arr! (5)

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #126 on:** September 10, 2013, 10:57:39 PM »

5 Mosdorl sounds like he's got a totally legit lead on this! We'll just say we got it in a cattle raid!

4, then 2
I really want to see Desrada in an Adeptes Sororitas cosplay.

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #128 on:** September 11, 2013, 01:52:27 AM »

4 is what I'd do :V

also this is glorious and if you didn't already have IM I'd try to get Purv to give you IP for it.

In the process of doing it right now, specifically

Also whoo, Sisters of Battle!

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #130 on:** September 17, 2013, 11:47:10 PM »

Anyway, we return! Expect possibly a more sporadic update schedule though to avoid burnout, especially since I've been scheduled into the moderately late evening fairly frequently lately.

For those who may have forgotten, we found a magic rock and picked 1. Commit to sacrifice annually to the spirit, to worship it.

... well, our ring are the only options here. Iskalli's best at Magic out of who we've got there so I use him.

Seven's a lucky number. Even for Orlanthi!

And thus, we are rockbros. Not to be confused with the other rockbros.

And this is what happens! We have a shrine now. It provides Watchfulness (improves the effectiveness of our patrols). We can totally take it down later if we want with no ill effects, aside from I'm not sure if we can still sac for the blessing and/or rebuild it. Tier 1 shrines are really cheap anyway though.

I have no idea what specifically I wanted to do anymore so uh... LET'S MAKE MORE CRAFTERS.

Aaaaaaaaaand Sacred Time. (In the tula view you can even see our rockbro shrine over there just past the bottom of the text!)

Reddyne · « **Reply #131 on:** September 18, 2013, 12:07:44 PM »

Nifty little bonus we got from Rolling Stone. Maintenance is pretty low-key too. Plus we got a lot of magic for the next year!

Considering that we've got a real nice amount of food, cattle, and goods, it may be best to put them to use for more bribes. I'd like to see some more exploration, too. Not getting into dorf fortress way back when was kinda a downer.

This makes 2 years until tribe time, yes?

Von Stein · « **Reply #132 on:** September 18, 2013, 06:11:53 PM »

Trying more Dwarf fortress stuff might be a good idea, yeah. Also whoo, we're stoned! Err....

Sagus · « **Reply #133 on:** September 18, 2013, 06:28:32 PM »

Yeah, let's go visit them dorfs. Maybe they can give us some magma, so we can better deal with our Colymar problem.

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #134 on:** September 18, 2013, 08:38:35 PM »

Make more portable cow that does not moo! Also we have a sheep surplus, so make more/upgrade more shrines.

Yeah I've mostly just got to learn something worth freaking enshrining for Elmal so I can upgrade his first. :V

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #136 on:** September 19, 2013, 12:41:23 AM »

It's still time for making friends and influencing people! (Also trying to learn something worth expanding Elmal's temple for, and maybe launching like one raid to keep our weaponthanes happy.)

what

how does that even make sense

it's an Orlanth myth

(oh also I tweaked crop ratios for the harvest omen and since I did it and not both it and tweaking land allotment it didn't take a turn)

Okay finally. Shield is cool beans it helps us on defense.

The men of the Boskovi clan arrive at the boundaries of your tula, pulling a cart loaded down with grain. They seem unhappy. When asked what it happening, they explain that they are paying off a bet. "Your clan-mate, Mosdorl, was gambling with our chieftain. All night long he lost. He lost at every game he played, and went further into debt. Then on the last game of dice, he won everything back and more. We suspect he used trickster magic, but will pay our debt, because we are an honorable clan."

1. Allow them to keep the grain.
2. Give them a reciprocal gift.
3. Give them hospitality.
4. Graciously accept Mosdorl's winnings.
5. Tell them that Mosdorl is a trickster.

Refusing to accept their grain would dishnor them. Giving a reciprocal gift would not. (2, 3)

They are our friends, and we must take care not to offend them.

In gambling as well as in trade, a bargain is a bargain. (4)

With that much grain coming in, we can afford to give them a reciprocal gift. (2)

Let me tell them I am a trickster, so they will know how I hoodwinked them! (5)

This is a tough one.

It would be dishonest not to tell them that Mosdorl is a trickster. (5)

Von Stein · « **Reply #137 on:** September 19, 2013, 12:59:31 AM »

Free stuff is free stuff. Say thank you, take their stuff, and kick them off our land. Also high five Mosdorl. 4

Iced Fairy · « **Reply #138 on:** September 19, 2013, 01:01:24 AM »

3 Maybe if we get them drunk they'll go betting again.

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #139 on:** September 19, 2013, 05:20:58 AM »

5, and if we get a second choice, 2

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #140 on:** September 19, 2013, 09:22:52 AM »

5. DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT

Reddyne · « **Reply #141 on:** September 19, 2013, 12:29:24 PM »

Seems to me that tricksters get a lot of special events and anyone else is outta luck there.

2. Poor chumps came all that way just to be turned around or be told that their boss shouldn't bet against Mosdorl again? We should do better.

Sagus · « **Reply #142 on:** September 19, 2013, 12:43:26 PM »

Come on guys, last thing we need is making enemies here! 2

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #143 on:** September 21, 2013, 12:25:28 AM »

I have an update mostly-ready but Photobucket's not loading -_-;

I'll try to put it up later.

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #144 on:** September 21, 2013, 03:19:18 AM »

I'm being the tiebreaker and I'm picking not to give them any more disincentive than they've already gotten for gambling against Mosdorl. :V

p.s. I fucked up and Shield reduces injury and death to our weaponthanes, it's Steadfast (the one we started with) that helps us on defense. But Shield is sweet too! EXPAND THAT SHRI--- goddamnit I swore to god I screenshotted and then when I checked again right after doing it oops no I'm a fuckup.

We can build more in Dark, let's keep our fighters happy with a token facepunch on the Elkenvali.

> Orlgard

I had no idea what the good pick was though, I'm sure some of the others would have worked just as well but I'm glad my gut did not lead me astray here.

BLOOD FOR THE DINOSAUR GODDESS

... ow. Welp, lots of blood for the dinosaur goddess. For sure.

Zethnoring warriors kidnap Minara, daughter of the chief, and take her back to their tula.

1. Hire mercenaries to rescue Minara.
2. Make peace with the Zethnoring clan.
3. Ransom her.
4. Send a war party to rescue Minara.
5. Take no action.

My daughter! We must get her back. (2, 3, 4)

We can beat them, or bully them intio a favorable peace arrangement. (2, 4)

Even if the Zethnorings demand an outrageous ransom, it will be cheaper to pay than to hire mercenaries. (3)

We can't afford to pay ransom or hire mercenaries. (2, 4, 5) (And you think we can afford to make peace? Not like you seem to have any actual clue what we can and cannot afford.)

Feuds are all-too-common since the migration to lawless Dragon Pass.

We can beat them. (4)

We will get her back! (4)

Stuffman · « **Reply #145 on:** September 21, 2013, 04:08:43 AM »

Wow that's a dick move, even if we have been flooding them with rubble runners.

What season is it?
If it's still Fire season, 4. Asses will be kicked.
If it's Earth season, 2. The most important thing is to get her back.

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #146 on:** September 21, 2013, 04:39:40 AM »

4 dammit! Also hasn't this happened to Iskalli before?

Calling for a truce hasn't worked out even with clans we didn't fight with for years. I'd call for a truce with them, but I don't find them the most redeemable bunch.
