What should be done with the remainder of the hunters?
[] [Hunters] Let them mourn their lost kin and friends, and let them decide themselves what to do. (Unknown effect.)
[] [Hunters] Tell them to go hunting, so that they can rebuild their confidence. (Food, low-efficiency due to lack of skilled hunters, will deplete weapon supplies further)
[] [Hunters] Tell them to try to fish in the rivers and streams. More supplies are always good and it will make them feel useful. (Food)
[] [Hunters] Tell them to go with the gatherers and find a way to make new weapons. (Might find a way to make new weapons.)
[] [Hunters] Tell them to guard the camp. (Reassures the people.)
Mourning could lead to dumb decisions... or bold ones...
Hunting for food isn't as useful now that we lost the tougher ones.
Fishing is a good move, fish remain a viable source of food even in winter.
Weapon-finding might work fairly well, and would fix the issue of running out of weapons.
Reassurance is kind of important right now, people are worried.
What does the rest of the tribe do? Pick two options:
[] [Action] Clearly the invulnerable creature was a spirit, not a beast. Try to find a way to appease the spirits for this slight. (Might reassure the people.)
[] [Action] The spirits have aided the tribe to get to this valley. Try to ask them for guidance again. (Might reassure the people.)
[] [Action] The people always believed that the ancestors have become one with the world again. Maybe you can ask them for guidance? At least one of them is not even far. (Might reassure the people.)
[] [Action] Look at the trees and see if you can make new spears from their branches. (Might find a way to make new weapons.)
[] [Action] Look at the rocks of the valley and see if something useful can be made from them. (Might find a way to make new tools or weapons.)
[] [Action] Look for a way to defend the camp or at least make it easier to detect the beast if it comes. (Might find something. Might reassure the people.)
Spirit appeasement focuses more on animism, and, assuming the bear doesn't come fuck us all up (very good assumption), will almost guarantee reassurance.
Spirit guidance focuses on naturalism, and could go either way.
Ancestor Spirits focuses on the obvious, and will probably have a middle ground between the above two.
Weapons are nice.
Weapons or Tools could be very nice, but is less likely to be immediately effective.
Hail Mary problem solver.
[X] Plan Hail Mary

Taking a few chances, but even if one or even two don't work, one succeeding should turn around the trouble we're in.
