Squirrel Sect [Stone age] [Riot Quest] [Squirrels Cultivating]

[X] Cultivate: (Cost 1 Qi Acorn)

Listening tp the chitters of his fellow squirrels, and what they had found. The squirrel desides to follow the advice of A Great Old Squirrel.

"Stay indoors, it's dangerous outside".

Gathering some acorns. the squirrel curls up in the nest. While chewing on them the squirrel thinks aboout how not to be seen.

For some reason it feels not standing up is a good first step.

Edit - 8's good enough, who wants a re-roll?

Fixed it. also, does anyone know what happens if we get more than 69 squirrels? do we start to randomly get free rerolls?

No but later on when you have work stations extra squirrels will work at them providing resources or crafting on their own.
Also very excited to reveal cultivation mechanics next turn :D


Also for you and everyone else made a discord for the quest, though I am still filling it out.

The QM doesn't want to do anything that directly relates to how many we have, because he doesn't want a new person to join and everyone feel punished, or him have to do something negative.
Someone joining should be good. That's why it's "if we're significantly below" and not "One below"

That being said, if we can get twenty to thirty more squirrels than voters...
Maybe we can convince him!

[X]Gather QI Acorns

Gonna work to get an acorn, then with each acorn [i.e. total of 10], roll on 'awaken other squirrels' so I can come back to life.

All resources are communal (i am pretty sure), otherwise you wouldn't have been able to even craft the stone blades considering they each cost 5 stone.

Nooo, my dream of creating the ultimate cyborg squirrel is gone! :cry:

Damn these squirrels taking my hard work, further proof that it is essential to rise above the weak Squirrel base!
 
this looks original. I'm going to become the master of wood carving

[X] Wood Spear Costs 5 Wood: Improves combat ability. (Every 5 progress makes on spear)

Edit: Omake

He Who Shapes Wood with His Teeth cluttered angrily as his first attempt at a spear shattered. He tried to carve a beautiful designed spear with pictures of dancing squirrels, but it became too fragile and broke. His second attempt would be a simple pointed tip.

He found a study branch from the stockpile and began thinning it out. His sharped teeth slowly stripped lengths of wood out of his final design. Removing bulk to make it easier to use, and making a tip so sharp it cut the air.

When he finished, it was a pointy stick. It was small enough to be used by any squirrel, and should be able to pierce the feathers of the owls(hopefully).

Mimic was an older squirrel, but he felt he was still in his prime. He went out to find resources and while he found nothing interesting, when he got back he heard that many others had found death. Death came in a lot of forms for a squirrel, even an awakened one like them. There needed to be more of them, more squirrels to find food and resources, more squirrels to fight the predators that preyed on them, more squirrels to research and discover new things. But to do this they needed to Awaken, they needed to learn, they needed discipline to work together.

He looked at the squirrels in front of him, once barely more intelligent than the bugs they ate from that rotten log, but now with a glimmer of intelligence in their eyes, and he opened his mouth to shout.

"You are no longer maggots!"

(Reroll for basically anyone that wants it here)

You wanna take this?

Just so my fellow poison enthusiasts are aware, we're going to need to craft some Cloth so we're not poisoning ourselves every turn.
 
Alright, since Random doesn't want it, I have a free re-roll going for whoever wants it!

After thirty minutes or so from now, if no's claimed it, I'll just roll for myself.
Please just reroll it yourself.
You have a potential to get us 8 more food.
And that's before we consider that if you get a 10 you could get us significantly more due to exploding dice.
If I'm honest, I wish everyone who'd tried the log and gotten below a 6 had rerolled, and I'm somewhat spiteful a few of them didn't.
Oh well, not much I can do about it.
 
Is it possible to acquire this power? For food? 🤔
Go right ahead!

my dude, it's turn 2 of an internet forum game, and we're not in a 'crisis state' of any real sort. There's no reason to take it so seriously, especially since we already have 154 food going into next turn.

That's a nothing statement.
I said nothing of which that counters.
I said somewhat spiteful, I didn't say I'm frothing at the mouth or anything. I didn't single anyone out in particular, ping anyone or DM anyone.
I gave my reroll to the first person to get a bad roll on it, and have largely moved on.

I'm allowed to be a little annoyed when someone does something selfish in something I'm investing my time into, that I am excited about.
Whether it's a game or not, how much it actually matters, or where it is in progress actually doesn't matter, at all.
Don't invalidate others feelings for no reason, it's rude.

It's either this or agriculture, and agriculture takes less effort.



The squirrel sat near an informal community food cache. It stared, and thought- about the way such things as unassuming (a chatter concept that evolved from chitter such as lie, but without purposeful malice. Mostly.) acorns can do so much. Now it understood too many things in a way most squirrels couldn't. Is that truly all because of an acorn?

Many other squirrels in the forest remained as they were. No one awoke without the special acorns. Twitching, the squirrel made way to the Qi Acorn storage. Such things were important, like the nimbly crafted Spears or painstakingly shaped Armor. Squirrels lacked overly sophisticated (one word used in conversations now) things, but they had at least one fancy tree hollow that only squirrels entered.

Qi Acorns hadn't been unassuming. Normal acorns were clearly different after everyone became more. Oh they looked very similar, but no acorn carried that that.

What made them different?

I have decided to spend time watching the Qi Acorns, and see what I can learn...

For doing the first art you have earned an Inspiration
Normally these are earned by rolling 3 "Consecutive" tens (Same action you can brute force it with rerolls)

As your action was a Research you may choose between a Research Inspiration bonus or a general inspiration bonus.
CHOOSE ONE (From either category)

Research Inspiration Bonus:
[]BREAK THROUGH: Instantly finish the current tech and take all current progress to it's next level.
[]MOMENT OF INSIGHT: Next turn ALL research actions gain a Free reroll.
[]SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT: Gain a completely related research finished that had the research you were working on as a prerequisite.

General Inspiration Bonus:
[] NAMED: Give one squirrel a "NAME": Named Squirrels get two actions per turn.
[] LEADERSHIP: Designate one Squirrel as a "LEADER" leaders can not use rerolls themselves but can gain up to 3 rerolls a turn for longer Omakes.
[] BLESSED FORTUNE: For 3 turns chance based rolls gain +2 (Scouting, Cultivation, weird write in's, etc)
 
[]BREAK THROUGH: Instantly finish the current tech and take all current progress to it's next level.
[]MOMENT OF INSIGHT: Next turn ALL research actions gain a Free reroll.
[]SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT: Gain a completely related research finished that had the research you were working on as a prerequisite.

Man, all of them are great, so overall very good info on how inspiration can look like.
Finishing some of the 100 instantly would be massive as example, on the other hand the rerolls next turn would likely result in 100-200+ progress in total and give a good chance of creating some more exploding chains.
