[@ActRaiserTheReturned]
[hider=The Saurians]The deaths of 75 men and women was a heavy blow to the population of the tribe. The tribe received no word from their Savage God Tak, but who knows what the suicides were blessed with after their deaths? Life was indeed simple and sweet for the Saurians, but with this sudden tragedy, the tribe began experiencing civil unrest. Some began to doubt the intentions of Tak in secret, and highly disliked the ritual suicides... What future would they have if they all killed themselves?! By each passing day, a few saurians began questioning their leader, the Dragonpriest. Was the way of Tak truly the right way?

None the less, the most adventerous of you journey out into the world to explore. Some will come back next turn, some might come back later.

[+Standing with Tak increased], Dragonpriest is awaiting word from their God. He is sure that Tak will bless them soon.

Short-term, you may interact with him as you wish.]

[@barkmeat2][hider=Citrus Crest]Back home, your genial farmers develop what they call the four-field system, to allow the earth to grow crops all year without leaving it barren in the end. With the help of the holy-water from the springs of the Earth Mother, this proves to work to great success!

When your priestess journeys to the ogre chieftain to speak of the waters, they meet him in his hut, sitting on a big rock carved out by his very own bum to fit him perfectly. When he hears that you wish to speak of the springs, he rises up and angrily orders all servants to exit the hut. They scurry out of the hut, afraid of their chieftain's wrath.

[i]"Okey little humies. Let's speak o' da springs. Sumthin' not rite in dere, me says. So me ogres stay away. Yu have problem with dat?!"[/i]
When your priestess attempts to analyze his personality, she realizes he is very stubborn, dumb and mostly just muscle but she also realizes he is not as narrow-minded as he at first had seemed. How can this be? Ogres are strange.

[@Cyclone][hider=Ard]Father Frost is quick to respond to Ragnal's calls and the tribe's offerings. He is pleased, and he speaks quickly. He says that he knows what the Ards want - his blessing in battle - but he asks for patience. His grip in this new land is not yet complete, and wont be until the first cycle of winter has come and gone. Only then can he once again bless the Ards with the powers that was once theirs. After this, a few of the other elders are also able to hear these words, so they too can communicate with their Frozen God. 

The scouting/warparties that were sent out in groups of three to the forests of the west will arrive next turn. From there, things will begin to pick up.

In addition, they are equipped with some of the new weapons and armors from the smith and workshop that was set up by the Ards' mining operations at the mountain.

[@hivekiller][hider=The Gold Skull][Prep turn 2, event still under progress]
Being dwarves, it may have took you a few hours to agree to salvage the ship, but once the decision was made your craft hands were quickly put to use. The ships were dismantled in just a matter of days, and every thinkable little crook and cranny was used as materials for your new settlement. Rebuilding your former glory will be hard and a long tough road, but you are confident you can restore yourselves to the height you once reached.
The scouting party are sent out into the hills, merrily prospecting like the Goldbeards you are. You explore the mountains quickly, scaling them faster and better than the other dwarven breeds usually do, but suddenly the front-most explorer stops in his tracks. He has just finished scaling a cliff, and the others are close behind him. [i]"What do you see, Rhur?"[/i] one of the scouts shout at him from below. [i]"I see... Dwarven architecture![/i] he exclaims and turns around, his face equally joy and excitement.

Once the party is up at the cliff, they see that not too far from here (in goldbeard standards) is an entrence into one of the mountainwalls. It is a typical dwarven archway adorned with ancient dwarven runes that you cannot recognize from this far away. The entrence is medium-sized, so it's probably not a city, but maybe a minor settlement? What scares you though is how the doors aren't shut. They're partially open and seem damaged. Probably ruins...
What do you do?
