Empire 6: Embers of Dawn IC

[Gengy]

Round 2 [Swampum, Home of the Uzii] [Homage Death-Grasp Mudmore] Region(s): 39 Actions: [Military] Send a Fight Throng to protect (attack) region 42, led by Homage Death-Grasp Mudmore (Mil 5) Reckless Attack - Roll; (13) Challenge Merine to a Duel The Humans of the Blessed Vale seek to prove that they are more worthy protectors of the region to Swampum's northwest. This both surprises and delights Homage Mudmore, as he did not hear anything favorable about Clan Alqar; to see them put up a fight is heartening to the continued security of Mamut. Every Uzii is pleased and prepared for battle... only to start hearing rumors that Clan Alqar only wants the fancy feathers that fell from the sky, and don't actually care about the innocent people that live there. The pleasure of a fight soon turns to the single-minded desire to protect against those too greedy to see the beauty in the water of the swamp. [Military] Send a Fight Throng to protect (attack) region 40 [Military] (Build an SoS Base, 2/3) The Sentinels of Stone are highly respected in Swampum, and they want a base in Mamut. Shaman direct many Uzii towards construction! [Military 5] Create a Hero, "Soul-Rend Proudhoof" (Mil 9) [roll] [Diplomacy 5] Establish a Cultural Identity, "Singular Honor" (+die size when dueling)

Non-Actions:

Spoiler: News and Rumors

• There are people out there. We can save them!
• Some shiny feather things apparently fell from the sky. Many Uzii weep at what be some of their Ancestral downy wing feathers finally coming to rest. They also have little interest in actually acquiring these feathers at the moment, and see them only as a distraction to the acquisition of areas with which to protect.
• Ko-Ball is very popular in Swampum. There are many duels over whom will join the Swampum Big Strongs and minor teams among the Snorts are created to make sure only the best are on the regional team. Volunteering Ko are incredibly well treated (outside of their Ko-Ball duties) and highly protected against the dangers of the swamps.
• While most Uzii are satisfied with the end result of the first Ko-Ball league, the Big Strongs blame the Whirlpools for their league loss. Victory all came down to that match. It was an honorable fight, but the Uzii on the field felt like a rematch is required. And the Big Strongs will have a plan for dealing with the champion tree-folk next time!
• A Scrim construction delegation arrives in Swampum, and assist in building the Standing Stone within the Groundpound Snort territory. At first, the Groundpound Snort doesn't know what to make of these rock-people, but they are impressed by their willingness to help others do hard labor, and while it would be wrong to say that the Uzii and Scrim are friends, it would not be wrong to say that the Uzii and Scrim are friendlier than before.
