Walking Into (Clan) Moordor - Let's Keep Playing King of Dragon Pass!

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

I'm a grocery cashier and it's almost Thanksgiving. So yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhh I've been a bit exhausted. But I have today and tomorrow off!


Please don't have hit someone who likes us, please don't have hit someone who likes us...


Finally, we fix Ferena.


Your emissaries talk to the ring of Clan Six Brothers, a small clan known for giving a second chance to bandits and outlaws. They're also known for the effectiveness and ferocity of their raids. Rostalos, chief of the Six Brothers, doesn't have any demands. He wants you to tell him why he should join your tribe.

1. Abandon negotiations.
2. "If you do not join the new tribe, you are the first clan it will crush."
3. "The other clans dislike you, but we honor you, and fought for your inclusion."
4. "Your joining is inevitable. Join now, and get a seat on the council."
5. Give gifts.

We could also give them a treasure (separate from gifting) if we had any. :V

Half our ring doesn't like them and the other half basically all want 2 (with some advocating additional options). :V

[Janitor Morgan]

I forget, are you able to give a combination of cattle and goods as gifts, or just one or the other?

Regardless, 5 with some total adding up to thirty, then 3.

[Sagus]

i don't wanna be that guy, but i can't help but feel that these guys won't be joining us ._.

At any rate, I agree with Prince. 5 with some total adding up to thirty, then 3.

[Reddyne]

Eh I'd prefer 3 first, then 5 if it fails. Doesn't look like the nicest bunch, but if they wanna go rough up some invading Colymar, I'm all for it. Save scumming is still OK if the system wants to be fiddly I guess?

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

I am genuinely shocked that they did not call us on not having any other clans in our tribe yet.



aaaaaaaaaand still no join.




Damnit Engarna you'd better not be right.

_{I swear to god this part usually goes better}

[The ⑨th Zentillion]

Let's go with the Greenwings (6), their early arrival may put some want of forming a tribe into them.

[Reddyne]

So what's the doomsday scenario here?

6 just to get things moving.

[Sagus]

Ergana for the love of the gods shut up

Let's go with 6.

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

*dies*

Now back to the LP!

So yeah we plan to chill with the Greenwings next month.


Punch some Elkenvali and steal their stuff!


Aw we didn't demolish everyone.


HAUNTING. Which I'm like 99% sure we've had before because I remember posting my screenshot at the time on tumblr.

1. LAWSUIT BECAUSE THIS GAME.
2. Investigate!
3. Tell the dude to move and burn this one
4. Tell him he probably should move
5. Send a Humakti (threats!)
6. Send an Issarite (bargaining!)

Ring advice is WHO CARES, YOU CAN SUE A GHOST

[Janitor Morgan]

There is only 1 option.

[theshirn]

*dies*

pls no :ohdear:

also 1

[Stuffman]

There's no way that's going to work again. :colbert:

Let's go with 6 this time, bargaining is one of the steps of acceptance after all!

[Reddyne]

*dies*

pls no :ohdear:

This. Wait. What's goin' down?

I'm a grocery cashier and it's almost Thanksgiving. So yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhh I've been a bit exhausted.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry. As much as I gripe about working at DoNuthin Inc. I know it's worse for others.

There's no way that's going to work again. :colbert:

It might! 1

[UncertainJakutten]

1 Suing the bastards both appeals to my Americanness AND actually works in Orlanthi culture. It's win win!

[The ⑨th Zentillion]

Lawsuit, lawsuit! (1)

[Sagus]

Being able to sue ghosts is probably the best thing about this game really. 1

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

Papa Iskalli: still Ace Attorney.


Your emissaries approach the earliest clan to arrive in the area, the Greenwings, to see if they want to join your new tribe. "We might be interested," says their chieftain, Orlkarth, "If you promise to make war on our enemies, the beastfolk. You must also perform an annual ritual to propitiate the spirit of the stone cross we took from the old boundary between Heortland and Dragon Pass. And, naturally, as the senior clan in the area, we require seats on the tribal council."

1. Abandon negotiations.
2. Agree to propitiate the cross spirit.
3. Demand their magical blessings for the entire tribe.
4. Guarantee them a seat or seats on the council.
5. Promise to make war on Beastfolk.
6. Give gifts.

They are worthy of a seat or even two, but the other clans will balk if we promise more.
I am not one to shirk a fight, but the beastfolk are dangerous enemies. We don't even know how many of them there are!
Demand their blessings, then offer three seats and propitiate the cross spirit. If that doesn't work, then promise them their war.
The Greenwing wisdom is shown not by their early arrival, but by the size and health of their herds.
They want respect above all. Even the fight against the enemies, the beastfolk, is a battle for respect.
I'm not sure about this war against the beastfolk...

Most of these do come with suggested option(s) but I feel like for this set of events that part's not so useful.

[Stuffman]

THAT WORKED AGAIN? WHAT THE HELL.

Oy. The Greenwings are asking for a tall order. We need them badly, though, so let's agree to the war if it comes down to it.

About the tribal council, how many seats are there to go around? Or does it just replace the ring?

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

About the tribal council, how many seats are there to go around? Or does it just replace the ring?

Fuck if I know, nothing actually says. (It does not replace our clan ring though. It's like how there's state legislatures and then there's Congress. We're just gerrymandering our COngressional districts. :V)

[Stuffman]

Righto.

I'll go with...

6. 30 goods.
2. I assume this is just another shrine? Might even have benefits.
4. Fuck it, 3 seats.
And then finally 5. If it comes to that, so long duckbros.

[Reddyne]

PANIC!

Righto.

I'll go with...

6. 30 goods.
2. I assume this is just another shrine? Might even have benefits.
4. Fuck it, 3 seats.
And then finally 5. If it comes to that, so long duckbros.

Sounds good enough to me? Considering how things are going I don't know how these things succeed yet.

[Sagus]

Righto.

I'll go with...

6. 30 goods.
2. I assume this is just another shrine? Might even have benefits.
4. Fuck it, 3 seats.
And then finally 5. If it comes to that, so long duckbros.

I agree with this.

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

(Yes I gave 30, I just figured we could dispense with a screenshot of the slider :V)




I have no idea if that max is the actual number of seats there are or not, a lot of other sliders (like gifts and such) cap out well below what you've actually got available.


... FUCK YES WE HAVE A CLAN IN OUR TRIBE.


Also witness the game being very weird about who qualify as neighbors, in a way you can actually see for once.

[Stuffman]

Got a lucky break with that one.

Either Kardarvi or Rakstanti next, leave Fire Quartz for last since their relations are a little less friendly.

Why'd we have to feud with guys that were right next to us D:

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

Why'd we have to feud with guys that were right next to us D:

So we could punch their faces in without having to pay tolls all the damn time.

... well okay to be fair the Zethnoring one only happened because we don't get to pick where Mosdorl Pied Pipers all the rubble-runners to.

[Sagus]

GODS BE PRAISED
Two more to go, then.

Let's go with the Kardavi next. 2

Hey, can we force clans into joining our tribe? 'Cause if push comes to shove, maybe we could bully the Elkenval into joining...

[Reddyne]

Keep on truckin' down the priority list. Rakstanti and Kardarvi.

... well okay to be fair the Zethnoring one only happened because we don't get to pick where Mosdorl Pied Pipers all the rubble-runners to.

Oh yeah. Oops.

Hey, can we force clans into joining our tribe? 'Cause if push comes to shove, maybe we could bully the Elkenval into joining...

We could certainly use one less chump but the Zethnorings seem to be a bit more troublesome.

[Shizumarashi Mayuzumi]

Yeah sure let's try taking captives this time.


And then I ransomed the 9 dudes for 45 goods.


Many of the cows are sick. The carls are worried that the disease spirits will grow stronger and infest the healthy animals. They figure that 80 cows have the disease right now.

1. Destroy the diseased animals.
2. Sacrifice to Uralda, the cow mother.
3. Send for Uralda priestesses from other clans.
4. Send for shamans to drive away the disease spirits.
5. Separate the diseased cows from the healthy ones.

The farmers will take it hard if we don't try to heal the cows. (2, 4, 5)
After this is over, we should replenish our herds by raiding a clan with lots of cows, like the Taralings.
I can find shamans to drive away the disease spirits. (4)
They may not come, but we should ask Uralda priestesses to help us. They will know best. (3)
Uralda is the bountiful cow mother, who brought her four-legged people into Ernalda's stead.
Disease is caused by bad spirits, so only magic can fight it. (2, 3, 4)
There are scrolls that will tell you how to avoid cow disease.

[Reddyne]

How flexible can we be with this? Separating them out (5) and then sacrificing to Uralda (2) seems like the way to go, but it would be nice to go for help. Also, I forgot if Uralda takes goods, cattle, or credit cards, because we have a whole lotta goods now.

Eighty cattle sick? That's a lot of bull. 

[UncertainJakutten]

We apparently need more postingthanes!

2 and 3 (if you can)
