Round 7 [Swampum Protectorate, Home of the Uzii] [Homage Closed-Fist Mudmore] Region(s): 33, 39, 40, 42 Actions: [Diplomacy] Rules for Punching Others [3/5] Homage Closed-Fist Mudmore continues to extol the virtues of a farther reaching code of conduct. With some clever conversation to their Hraban allies, the Rules for Punching Others is written down, and each Sounder Alpha in Swampum gets a copy. [Diplomacy] Rules for Punching Others [4/5] Homage Closed-Fist Mudmore continues to extol the virtues of a farther reaching code of conduct. He convinces Sounder Alphas that only the smartest and most honorable of Uzii can follow the Rules for Punching Others. They in turn tell their Clan Chiefs, who want to show off that they can be smart and honorable, so they learn the Rules. [Diplomacy] Rules for Punching Others [5/5] Every Den Mother of Swampum begins to teach the Rules for Punching Others to their whelps, ensuring that the next generation will grow up knowing them. (Great Project Bonus: Approved [Use non-fatal Dueling in place of Diplomacy to resolve Errant Quest entry into Region 39] When another player sends an Errant Quest to Swampum, lack of permission requires a non-fatal Duel to enter. Choosing not to duel allows the player to quest elsewhere. Losing the Duel ends the action for the Hero for the round as they are "retrained" by the Uzii for a year or two before being returned to their homeland at the end of the round. Victory in the duel proceeds as though the challenging player had won the Diplomacy roll-off.) [Diplomacy] Gift the Scrim 1 Unit For their aid in fighting the Flowerspawn, the Uzii have trained a Scrim Fight Throng. Now that it has been half a decade, these rock warriors are deemed fit for combat. A commander of the Fight Throng is decided through tournament style combat, and the strongest prevails. Under their leadership, the Scrim Fight Throng returns to Thun. [Military 5] Recruit a Hero (Roll: 10) Recognized as both strong, smart, and clever, the Den Daughter of the Redmoon Clan becomes the first Battle Mother in many generations. Battle Mother Pain-Drop Redmoon is also known as the Scrimtosser for her fight with the Scrim Warspeaker at the Snortsmoot. To her credit, she does not like that name. And tosses any Uzii who use it.

Non-Actions:

• Spend a Favor on the Sentinels to attempt to increase Reputation from 3 to 4.
• Support conversion of any owned regions to Soul Honor.
• Support the buyout of Cattle by the Deru in Cow Place (42).

Spoiler: News and Rumors

Show

• The Deru, still slowly studying Soul Honor in a lesser capacity, are invited to come learn more about it in [Region 33] if they will help the new Dens there plant down roots (literally) to develop more and varied foliage in the mountainous region.
• Ko-Ball is very popular in Swampum. Which is why, for the first time in decades, when the Big Strongs do not obtain second place or higher, there is a shocked level of silence. Many fights would have broken out, except a great number of Uzii are attempting to adjust to the Rules for Punching Others, which precludes such barbarism. Outside the stadium. This leads to many fans of Ko-Ball flooding Proud-Laugh Stadium for days, just to have an all out brawl to express their displeasure at their favorite team losing. It doesn't matter that they are all 'on the same side' of the argument, they just need to blow off steam. Thankfully, the players of the Big Strongs are safely in Goliath-lands, or things would have gotten much worse. The loss is attributed to the fact that no member of the original team was playing this season; the new team members will hopefully do better next season.
• Toad Racing continues to hold the attentions of the breeders of Battle Toads. How could it not, when they are among the reason for the entire sport?
• Fort Death-Grasp! A great place to train! Fort Death-Grasp! We make you feel the pain!
