Use your negotiator skills to approve of the notion of Amazon 'bold marrying Hunter 'bold if some sort of civility can be attained, ideally without being creepy about it.

A smile spreads across your face when you figure out her reason for wanting the hunter.

"Oh, I see now. You like him don't you."

Female Kobold: "W-what n-no, its um-"

Her face becomes flushed.

"Makes sense now, given what you've told me about you."

Female Kobold: "I-I, don't know what your talking about!"

"You've been tailing him for half a year, pretty obvious that you like him and I'm pretty sure he will like you."

Female Kobold: "I-uh no i-it's uh I-I just um"

Her face is now really red.

"And I'm sure that my hunter won't mind a little ... fun."

Her nose suddenly gushes out blood, she turns away from you trying to contain the torrent of blood coming out her nose.

You take this opportunity to approach the tied up kobold and take the bag off its head. When you do you see that it is indeed your hunter and he seems fine.

Hunter: "Hi chief, looks like you found the trail I left behind."

"Are you alright?"

Hunter: "Yea I'm fine, she was pretty rough when she ambushed me in the hut but she's been really nice to me sense then, I guess she heard you coming so she tied me up to this pole and put a bag over my head."

"Anything else?"

Hunter: "Well, we did um... you know, um... rub."

"Oh!"

Hunter seems alright and the female Kobold seems indisposed at the moment. What should you do now?

Apologize for embarrassing the amazon, let her know that you're trying to run a friendly welcoming settlement, and that she's free to swing by any time to... "socialize" or just full-on move in.

After that, ball's really in the hunter's court. Point this out to him.

well, they can of course stay together when wished... In fact we don't nee especially a hunter, but the hunted meat... So, they are free to join the settlement. But if they don't want, there needs to be some agreement to get meat instead.

>>419764
They're free to do whatever they like so long as we get the meat we need and can remain in contact with them.

>>419764
Untie him and help him up.
"You like her?"
If he says yes, then hand her a cloth to clean herself up.
"We take care of our own, ma'am. We'd like that to include you."

If not, tell the hunter it's his choice if she can join the village or not.

>>419804
Do This, she would be a great addition to the village.

Walk over to the amazonian kobold and hand her the bag. "Here. Hold this against your nose and tilt your head back. We'll talk once you've got that torrent under control."

Once she's no longer indisposed, ask her if she'd like to move into your village. Say that if others who are hunting her show up, we'll hide her, and if need be will fight to protect her. If she declines, say that that's all right, you'll still trade with her for meat, hides, and furs.

Then turn to the hunter and say that it's his choice to stay in the village or live out here with her. You'll still expect the benefits of his hunting either way, but if he stays out here you'll send the woodbolds out to build them a small place that'll stand up to the winter far better than a tent.

You ask the hunter if he likes her. He tells you that he is unsure that he does or not but there are qualities about her that he admires.

You then ask him if he wants to stay with her or not. He tells you that although he would like to, he knows that the village needs him and his skills to keep everyone fed. He tells you that you should probably make the decision if he should stay with her or not.

You inquire with him about her joining the village. He tells you that he doesn't know her very well, but she would probably not want to join us at the moment as we still have some association with the chief from our mother village and doesn't trust us completely yet. He will try to convince her to join the village if he stays with her, otherwise she may or may not join on her own initiative.

The Female Kobold now to be referred to as 'The Amazon' finally got her nosebleed under control. She seems reluctant to give her opinion on the matter so its up to you to decide if the hunter will stay with her or not.

Heck with it. Show of good faith in the short term should pay off with an extra expert hunter down the road. Allow the hunter to go home with the amazon, ask to try bringing food back if possible, and he can work on convincing her that you're generally good people she can trust.

Well, the hunter was out in the woods all the time anyway, so he may as well stay with the Amazon and help convince her that you're good people. You still expect him to bring in meat and hides for the village, just not as many. Remind him that winter is coming, and that the both of them would probably rather spend it in a warm house than a cold tent. Oh, and he should come back with you to get his crossbow and quiver, and show that he's all right, while you deliver the news of this.

indeed. you have no problems with him being out here so long as the job is still done. doesn't even need to be constantly. can get a bunch of animals and lug them all back at once. will see about getting a thing to help move them with.

Dude, ask if she needs a doctor or something, she's lost a bit of blood.

You tell the Hunter that he can stay with The Amazon. The second that she hears you say this, she becomes ecstatic, and is all over the hunter in less then a second. You have a feeling that the hunter won't have the time or the energy to be doing anything. Everyone seems fine now, and you figure that if she managed to live out here all by herself for who knows how long, she will probably manage to survive the winter months.

Do you wish to do anything else here or return to the village?

We don't need to jump right into things. The hunter obviously has an obligation with the village--we do need him--but that doesn't mean he has to cut off all ties to the Amazon or invite her to live with him in the village. They can take it slow, as long as the hunter gets his work done. Simple. Easy.

Seriously guys I think she needs medical attention.

Also, return to the village.

good thing they are good at getting meat, need to replace that protein.

God damn, bolds must die of blood loss whenever they get intimate.

...Stay a little bit and watch them, then realize you're rubbing your own nose, get embarrassed and leave in a rush. Return to the village and share the news, leaving out the nose rubbing.

Well, the village is well stocked for food, so the only loss is the hides for leather and furs.

>>419958
They probably have redundant organs dedicated to holding blood reserves.

But... Our meat!

Well, this will probably help us out, further down the line. We can consider these guys our allies.

I'm sure we can get another hunter, but we need to try to get both of them to the village, we need them, and they obviously somewhat need each other.

Turn you back, and say that they're welcome at the village. Gives the Amazon deniability of "I'm not joining up with you, I just happen to be living here and helping out damnit!".

You manage to get back just before nightfall. You go inside your hut to plan out what the village as a whole is going to do next for Early Fall.

Well, there's still this suggestion >>411030, and all the ones after; Just skip making leather armor for the hunter for now, and don't send the military 'bolds as escorts for the farmers.

How about doing up an inventory of supplies, equipment, workers and structures? It's been awhile since there was an up-to-date total list.

how about start working on a fence so people can't just come in and kidnap your people as they please?

>>422715
He was a hunter out in the jungle, not a craftsbold working in the camp.

You have just realized that your town does not have a name.

Idlestorm.

Mooseknuckle

Moosestorm.

Well, it's a little egotistical, but there's a nice ring to calling the place Calamity.

As far as general orders go, particularly since we're theoretically short a hunter here, the biggest priority is going to be making sure there's enough food to last through the winter. Getting to be the time of year you really need to be harvesting fruits and vegetables. Do you have anything to help preserve your surplus food? Salt, nice watertight barrels, anything like that? If not, better get started on some. Making sure there's adequate shelter for everyone before the temperature starts to drop is another biggie.

I ... like the idea of naming it Calamity, though hopefully it brings Calamity on its enemies and not on itself.

Calamity sounds alright, considering we're gonna deal with it all the time.

>>423115
Hmmm... Perhaps... "Calamityville?"

>>423165

Amityville!

Alright, your settlement will know be known as, The Village of Calamity.

The only things to note this month is that the farmers found 4 food crop seeds. The other two farmers helped the carpenter setup 10 movable barricades around the buildings, facing the forest. The craftbold made 3 bone figurines from 3 bones. The miners managed to dig up enough copper ore to smelt one copper bar. Finally we found a packed container of food left at the outskirts of the forest containing 10 Units of expertly butchered meat.

It is now mid fall. It is too late in the season to plant crops now. The trees are starting to shed their leaves. Some have taken to sleeping in the mining cave, moving the supplies out of it and into the huts. What is your general plan this season?

shore up and store up. Winter is coming and the things you need are:
1. Preserve and store extra food in a store house and prepare to ration.
2. Insulate some of the bigger houses to keep the heat or dig the mine so everyone can fit.
3. if possible, have a large fire ready and maybe keep it burning.

We do need tools for the craftsbold and the docbold soonish. Late fall and winter is an excellent time to make tools for the spring and it will suck if people get sick and the docbold has no medicine. The craftsbold and smithbold should collaberate together to make proper toolsets and perhaps improve others as well. The copper will do nicely for this as will the bone and stone.

Hopefully the hunter couple will continue to help us with meat. One of the things we can do for them is supply them with arrows so the craftsbold should also work on creating more from bone. If the hunterbold can read we should leave a note alongside the arrows asking what they need to help survive winter.

Miners should continue to mine and we will need plenty of wood for fire so both wood and farm bolds should be gathering it.

eat little. store lots of food and wood. dig deeper into the mountain- carve some proper sleeping quarters into the mountain, as blizzards and whatnot may require you to retreat in there.

Have the miners keep mining, but work to carve out chambers that can be used for storage, and quarters if need be. It'll be our fallback if the weather gets bad, or there's trouble coming. Split up your food storage; Place a third each into the mine, the stone building, and the homes.

One of the woodbolds should work on making a heafty barred door for the mine entrance, and supports for the mine roof. The other should keep clearing the forest away from the village homes.

Get together with the smith, craftsbold, and doc, and work out what tools can be made for the craftsbold and doc using the copper, bone, leather, and stone you have. Priority for tools goes to the docbold, though. Ask the smith about the possibility of melting down tools to reforge them into other types, and how much material is lost in the process. Ask the craftbold how much leather he needs to make a full or a partial set of leather armor.

Fisherbolds keep fishing, while half the farmers help move stuff for the miners and woodbolds, and the other half forage for more food and seeds.

You get a nice thick door put up at the entrance of the cave to keep the cold out.

You also start to ration your food and get the more unproductive part of your group to forage for their food.

The miners have much more luck with finding ore and stumble on enough ore to make 5 bars of copper but you hold off on smelting them.

The doctor, craftsbold and others with an X marked under 'tools' don't need any tools as they either use the larger tools provided by the workshops you've built or don't use any.

You have updated your sheet with materals you have gained.

You are now in the late fall season, soon in winter there will be little crops to forage, what little there is will be hard to find even by the most expert herabalist. For now the plants are still fairly plentiful and you should take advantage of this before the cold overtakes them.

What do you want to do this season?

Get the tools from the X people, and

miners and smiths get first dibs on new tools since without them making more will be a huge effort.

>>424837
Agreed.

Is it possible to farm indoors?

keep on foraging. store more lumber, you'll be needing the fire.

do craft some shortswords or daggers to help people defend themselves against stuff. especially those who go foraging and stuff.
