Round 18 Start - "...They'll Be Watching You."
  • Threadmarks
    • An ominous atmosphere fills the air. No one can quite put a finger on why, but the best guess is that it might have something to do with the conversation the robot overheard from what were presumably a couple of the Naysayers.

    Oh, and there's also the fact that the clouds have grown thick in the sky. That probably doesn't help either.

    Weather is now Overcast!

    On the bright side, at least you have a significant surplus of food for now.

    Current Food Stored: 199

    • Alright pleb- er, rioters, now that our food situation seems stable, I propose you use your might to collect resources and perform some scouting on the naysayers, as they clearly seem to be up to something.

    My fellow councilors, I propose we help them with their resource gathering efforts.

    Defending against the undoubtedly-incoming Naysayer invasion seems important, so I'm proposing it as our co-op action.

    Gonna need to test this out, but just in case it doesn't work, if someone doesn't know what to do for this turn could I ask you to go look for willow in one of the forests?

    Also, might use some of this to try and make bandages if there aren't more injuries from the naysayers this turn.

    --[X] Your latest trip during your most recent trip made said trip quite a trip, leaving you literally and metaphorically tripped up. With new reports of naysayer activity, supposedly within the forest, you suspect there's more to your stumbling about than you'd thought. Approach @GrayGriffin and determine a course of action.
    ---[X] Thank the Orb of Floof for helping you get back to the Quest and for the snack, then break off towards the feathered rioter. Keep an eye and an ear out for any trouble - especially on the Forest. You'd grab a walking stick, but for now, wood is your enemy. Grab a fistful of sod instead.

    --[x] Questors are to throw mud, rocks or other such items at a naysayer any time they see a naysayer in our borders or neutral territory. We shan't stoop to un-questorlike activities like dishonorable eavesdropping or spying anymore

    Frankly, not immediately running off naysayers and eavesdropping is dishonorable and unquestlike. We must ensure those naysayers are driven from our lands in honorable mud combat like the heroes we are, not like naysayers that skulk about and do things like think and plan their actions

    --[X] If any Naysayer is seen in our territory, Questors are to politely tell them that this is our area just as they have theirs and they should leave. Now. If they refuse, or if the same Naysayer/s come back, the Rioters are encouraged to throw mud, rocks or other such items at them or to drive them out in the way you prefer.

    Slightly modified to avoid conflict over neutral territory. The Naysayers are in their right to be in the neutral area, but our territory is ours alone.

    The good news is that you do form some kind of connection with something.

    The bad news is that you have no idea how it happens, you don't know what kind of connection it is, and you don't know what you formed a connection with.

    [X][Riot!] Step 1 of the plan has worked - now to pull on that connection and summon a spooky minion! You're on the cusp of something - you can feel it. (although that might just be the shiver down your ghostly spine).

    Alright - this time the dice will come through for me. After multiple turns of rolling low I'm due for a high roll, right?
