The great river expedition was launched from the harbor of Rivermeet and rowed downriver reaching Midriver after four days, a small fishing settlement where traders moving between the two towns of the nation would stop but little else happened. The next stop of the expedition was Riverbend where they spend two days talking to the builders working on the towns new harbor and three more boats joined the expedition. The last stop before they left our nation was at Heroes rest where the statues honoring the warriors that fought the orcs there impressed all that saw them.

Beyond Heroes rest the river seemed to change, it become smaller and moved faster and when they camped the first night the ground was hard, not the soft soil surrounding the river near Riverbend. The next day the captain of the first boat noticed something strange part of the water ahead was white and when he reached that part of the river he lost control and his boat ended up hitting one of the rocks in the rapids. As the boat sank the crew struggled to stay afloat but lucky the rapids did not last long and in the calmer water behind them they managed to reach the riverbank. Having seen what happened to the first boat the next boat tried to avoid the rocks but capsized halfway.

The rest of the boats managed to reach the riverbank before the rapids and once all that could be recoved from the river was collected they made a plan to get past the rapids. There where three plans: a small group proposed going home as the river was to hard to travel and little of value had been found so far. A second group wanted to unload all boats and carry them past the rapids and the final plan came from the captain of the second boat he wanted to try again to pass the rapids on the river.

[rapids] Go home
Not liked by those supporting the exploration of the river but allows the use of the boats for other goals.
-1 stability, +0.5 base transportation(river), +1 current transportation(river)

[rapids] Carry the boats overland
Will make supplying the expedition harder and it will end on a roll of 25 or lower.

[rapids] Row past them
DC 40: expedition gets past the rapids with no losses.
below 40: -1 current transportation(river)

While expedition worked on getting past the rapids it became clear that the locals where not humans but a race not encounted before they looked a lot like humans but had the ears of cats and retractable claws on their hands and feet. From what you have seen so far they are hunting and fishers without permanent camps and you do not speak their language but the few meeting we had with them where friendly despite not understanding each other. We have decided to call them the Firal after the feral felines that live in our settlements.

[Firal] Send a expedition to learn the Firal language
-1 current transportation(river) and -1 current learning

[Firal] We can do this later
Adds a task to learn Firal next turn.

As Robin got older she spend her time working on making things easier and the invention of the wheel gave her a lot of new options these included the addition of a wheel to the back of plows making them easier to move across the fields and wagons to haul food to the towns. Once more wagons have been build moving goods over the nations roads will be a lot easier.
[+1 growth per turn, +5 growth and +2 more More plows for farmers actions allowed]
[new tasks: internal trade and build wagons]

The warriors where inspired by the great river expedition and decided to scout towards the north trying to find out more about the less inhabited lands there. They found a land inhabited by small groups of hunters that was a lot dryer then the forest near the great river and even the trees got smaller as they headed northwards. On there way back south they explored to the east of where they went north but only found more small bands of hunters in land ill suited to farming. The only thing of note where the mountains they saw to the east but the way to them was blocked by the fact that there where orcs living there.



The Bison hill tribe has decided to build a new palace in the northern half of their lands and have decided on a wooden central hall surrounded by longhouses for the rest of the workers for the palace. Both the Deer hunters and Islanders have been inspired by our palace and are building ones. Our traders report that the Bison hill tribe has started to use longbows

A group of traders has traveled to the Firal trying to learn their language and set up trading relations. This proved to be harder then expected as the Firal tongue included a large amount of words that all sounded the same to humans, some beyond human hearing and the Firal could not pronounce several human words. Despite these issues the traders lived among the Firal and learned more about them, from the fact that they ate mostly meat and fish and in a sprint nobody can keep up with a Firal. Most of the trade with the Firal so far has been food for the great river expedition in exchange for tools and weapons and a handful of their hunters joined the great river expedition. During this trip from the mix of words both groups could understand a new language was created that both could understand.

After resupplying at Riverbend the expedition started to row down the river till they reached the rapids where the boats where hauled over the shore and arrived at the Firal camp where the traders where they rested, repaired the boats and resupplied. Once the boats where ready they started to explore the good new was that there where no more rapids and the lands where inhabited by more Firal on both sides of the river the next day the river got a lot wider and shortly afterwards they arrived at a major lake that took an entire day to cross containing several islands.

Talking to the Firal hunters that joined the expedition about the islands produced little information as they considered them lacking the large game they liked to hunt so the captain in charge of the expedition stopped at the largest of the islands. The island was to small for a group living of hunting to survive on and without boats to far for the Firal visit but for a farming settlement it was big enough if it also included several of the nearby islands.
[New settlement site: Big lake islands]

Beyond the lake the river narrowed once more and they heard a sound that reminded the of the rapids but far louder and after stopping the boats on the riverbank they walked to find out what was causing the sound. The source of the sound amazed all that saw it the land had fallen away causing a cliff as high as two men and the largest waterfall ever encountered by our nation. lacking a good route to get around the waterfall the expedition decided to return home as they feared that they could not get their boats back up the cliff on the way back if they tried to explore more of the river.

With the expedition blocked by the waterfall the expedition was disbanded but their final action was:

[expedition] Create a trading post at the rapids
Creates a trading post with the Firal giving +2 growth per turn

[expedition] Created a settlement at the largest island in the lake.
With help from the rest of the tribe a settlement can be created at the largest island in the lake
cost: 1 current crafting

[expedition] Started to trade on the great river
+1 base transportation(river)

Bison has moved to stonemeet to help produce the tools needed for the work on the House of the gods. He did not produce these tools himself but spend most of his time training others how to make the specialized tools needed for the project as few in the tribe knew how to make those. He talked with several of the experienced crafters to develop a way to better spread the needed skills.
Raven traveled trough the northern settlements teaching the farmers how to use, maintain and build plows. She also brought bison to help pull the plows. A new farming hero was born who after spending several years learning from Raven was put in charge of the next major project of the tribe.
[+3 growth per turn, +3 growth, +2 current crafting, study project apprentices]

[new hero] Finish the house for the gods
The construction of the house of the gods seems to be going on as long as anyone can remember maybe its time to send a hero to complete it.

[new hero] Become the chief of the new settlement at the lake
Sends the hero to the lake where she will help with creating and expanding the new settlement

[new hero] Develop writing
As the tribe grows it becomes harder to manage, developing writing will help with that.

[new hero] write in goal
write in a goal should be something doable in 4 to 10 actions(the other heroes will help)

[new hero name] Write in a name for the new farming hero

The nobles report that the orcs have become more active and there have been several small raids near Green rock. Losses so far have been light as the fighting took place in an area where few lived but there are worries that these raids are only the first and in response the nobles ordered the creation of a bronze spears for our militia to boost our defenses. This lead to more crafters working on bronze spears leading to new ideas of how to improve our spears.
[-1 growth, 3 groups of hunter militia are now armed with bronze tipped spears +20 to improved spears]


The advisors that we send to the islanders where welcomed and arrived as the palace was completed and their next goal is to integrate the swamp dwellers. They have far more contact with the swamp dwellers then we do and told us that a fishing hero is expanding their fishing fleet. Work on the palace continues at the Bison Hill tribe but saw several setbacks delaying the project once more. The deer hunters are also working on a palace but progress is slow.
