Round 2: The Long JourneyAs the various tribes spread across the land, most of them ended up in places far beyond their imagination, and have been attempting to make do with what they have. Others have begun to explore their environments or are trying to use their environments to their advantage. Let’s see how they fare!
serialkiller🌴 - Kometenvolk Tribe
Vote: Attempt Domestication of Kometenfolger (13)
The Kometenvolk quickly realize the potential advantages of having pack animals that won't try killing their children for riding on them. As such the Kometenvolk decide to go through and have their children attempt to mount the large beasts while dangling leftover meat in front of them. This goes pretty well all things considered, and only 8 children are injured and the number of beasts who didn't go in a frenzy are enough that they won't even have to be carried the whole way! The surviving Kometenfolger are seemingly agitated by the death of slightly over a quarter of their number, but seem to be willing enough to let most of the children and elders ride them, and the bigger survivors can even carry some supplies. And even the dead can at least provide some food so there's that.
Stability: Solid (2)
Power: Tiny (1)
Domestication: Kometenfolger (large in size but short to the ground pack hunting carnivores as mounts) Good enough number survivors to act as mounts for the elderly and young, slightly unhappy about their situation
Supplies: Steady amount of food
People: Willing and able, some injuries, good number

Immortal_Dragon - Tribe of the Hakshah
Vote: Hunt for Food, and Killers (19)
Let it never be said that the Hakshah do not take care of their own issues. When the orders came to look for the killers and food, some of the hunters seemed to misunderstand, and now there are about 20 people being roasted on sticks. On the bright side this means that you have plenty of food and morale has gone up due to enacting justice, or maybe fear, oh well. In slightly less gruesome news the other hunters also manage to finds small paths in the field of grass that lead to hubs of small 4 legged Arthropods that operate in rather large groups throughout the plains, they seem to be semi intelligent. At least when in larger groups, when isolated in groups of less than 20 they prove to be quite malleable to suggestion and the hand sized creatures make a good appetizer.
Stability: Stable (1)
Power: Tiny (1)
People: More united now thanks to death of killers.
Supplies: Good amount of people food and some anthros that are eatable

agenttine -Kore Tribe
Vote: Trying not to get eaten by Crocigators (but also use them) (13)
How could attempting to domesticate a wild large aquatic carnivorous reptile go wrong? Well the answer isn't as bad as you think it is! The Crocigators respond well to some forms of screaming, as some unlucky people found out, as in it drives them towards the sound. Some clever Korens though decide maybe it's better if we attempt to play some form of instruments by the river, for whatever reason it worked! While they aren't domesticated by any real means, and some people were injured in the attempt, hunters playing the reed pipe manage to corral the Crocigators and send them into a frenzy in the waters, which drives some fish and birds into the hunters waiting arms. They do not like to be disturbed in their own eating however, and being near the river after dark is strongly discouraged.
Stability: Solid (2)
Power: Tiny (1)
Sorta Domesticated: Crocigators that help hunters with food
Supplies: Fish and other game around the river
Music: Reedpipes
People: Largely happy with circumstances

holomanga - Tribe of Tiluceria
Vote: Stay Calm and Carry On (18)
The initial weeks of discussions were cut off by the sight of a rather large rainstorm in the distance. Not wanting to be caught in the valley in the flooding the expected was coming the tribe as a whole agrees to continue to the east, imminent death has a way of doing that one supposes. As the flood waters approach the Tiluceria, they head to the edges of the valley, and one of the leaders has the bright idea of setting up one of the nets once used for fishing here to skim the waters hoping for something. While many initially scorned the idea, the man and some of his closest allies go through with it anyways. It turns out to not be such a bad idea, as the dead bodies and various supplies of the Limu tribe that was washed away is caught by the net. The bodies are stripped and the supplies are dried out. They even managed to catch some fish for food! Many of the Tiluceria tribe are actually just happy to have not died honestly, and they thank the quick thinking of the leader for this bountiful flood, and have raised him into a demigod status among the people.
Stability: Solid (2)
Power: Tiny (1)
Supplies: Good amount of fish and even some supplies from the dead
People: Happy to be alive

TheGraveKnight - Xi`thoi Tribe
Vote: Collect supplies (11)
The Xi`thoi leadership decided that the lake was a nice enough spot to stay and let their people rest up and resupply at, and for the first while it was. The lake was full of fish and the water was safe enough for most to drink. The hunters and gathers went and hunted many animals and berries, and managed to collect a good amount of food. Even some of the tribe people decided to collect loads of firewood and such to burn and make things with, such as some semi-permanent structures. With the help of the creatures that travel with the Xi`thoi, these structures would be easily portable and provide good housing. At least it would’ve had been had one adolescent not decided it would be funny to scare the strange creatures with some fire in its face in the middle of the night. The prank was not appreciated and some of the animals, with loads of supplies on their backs, flee into the forest and surrounding hillside. Others decided the camp would be better and trampled around, squashing some berries and hurting some tribe members. While overall these losses are not much, the supplies are easily regathered and the hurt can heal, there was a few fatalities and the loss of a good number of the pack beasts does not help matters.
Stability: Solid (2)
Power: Tiny (1)
Domestication: Some pack animals that are largely happy staying with tribe, slightly less now
Supplies: Food itself is safe enough, but large amounts of supplies and heavy lifting fled thanks to prank
People: Not very happy with a certain young man, some deaths, but still aware that they have a good amount of supplies and a pretty lake.

NickTheNick - Pyrean Tribe
Vote: Message from the gods (12)
When the Pyrean tribe left their homeland there was an assortment of people who believed that the journey northward was not so much for the safety and finding of food, but as a divine mission given by a force much beyond the realm of man. These people have gotten more vocal as the journey has continued, becoming more aggravated due to the slow pace. To the bewilderment of some of the older members, others are starting to agree with the idea of this being a divine mission. While this has done the purpose of unifying the people and improving morale for the believers, it also had the unlikely effect of abandoning those that were slowing down the tribe from reaching the holy land. The Gods surely praise those who take such action to ensure their message gets out, and the tribe begins to move northward again at a much faster pace, blind in their belief that the north holds the key to salvation.
Stability: Stable (1)
Power: Tiny (1)
Supplies: Healthy amount of food, good enough for the believers
People: Some abandoned due to slowing the tribe, those still together are zealous in their northward quest

evolution4weαk - Acirema Tribe
Vote: Keep Moving East (16)
While at first worries about the strange creatures and lack of food persisted among the tribe when they were ordered to continue Eastwards, once they got on the move and the strange creatures began to leave them alone, the Acirema tribe began to feel their spirits lift. They climbed cleverly climbed down the Cliffside and found at the bottom some good sized game that helped them continue on their way. They continue east and manage to cover a good amount of distance when the land beneath them shifts from simply bare to something more, more sand at least. But apparently the Kometenvolk did not come this way as they are able to find a few small stops along the way that help resupply their foods and water. The Acirema have made it to the desert it appears.
Stability: Stable (1)
Power: Tiny (1)
Supplies: Surprisingly good amount, most people are provided for
People: Happy to be nearing their destination

GabrielGG -Potatorynu Tribe
Vote: Creature Hunting Strategy (18)
Somehow the decision to hunt forbars turns out to not be a terrible idea. In fact, the hunters come up with the idea of tracking them to the caves, and when they leave to go fishing the hunters snuck in and found that the forbars actually bring the fish up to the cave in large numbers for whatever reason. The Potatorynu collect as many fish as they can and lay out traps around the forested areas for the forbars to find. Then they throw sharp rocks that hurt the legs and arms helping slow them down then they poke with their spears on all sides until the forbars are largely disabled. The forbars will provide a lot of food, and the caves could become a good spot to rest. But the Potatorynu might not have gotten all the forbars in the area. You never know. Regardless the victories have raised up spirits and the feasts of fish and forbars is nice.
Stability: Stable (1)
Power: Tiny (1)
Supplies: forbars and fish, lots and lots of fish
People: Happy to be winning for once

Aquos -Orzal Tribe
Vote: Scout out local area (9)
Orzalian leaders decide that finding out more about their area they are living is probably a smart move all things considered. Normally they would be exactly right. It turns out to not be a very bright move to stock up a bunch of rather young teenagers with fruits that make them high and then send them out for hours on end without any supervision. Who knew? Not much bad per say happens, but maybe the fact that over half the scouts have disappeared even from where they were sent isn't as bad as one would think. The tribe is feeling like they are having a good time with this new land they are in, and fishing is going their way.
Stability: Shaky (0)
Power: Tiny (1)
Supplies: They got the good stuff, and supplies are holding steady
People: They are very happy where they are, a little out of the loop though

limeyhoney - Tribe of Limu
Vote: Resupply at the Valley of the Ancestors (19)
After the floods at the valley, and the evidence of greens starting to grow, the leaders of the Limu tribe decide that waiting here to resupply is a smarter move than trying to leave immediately. This wisdom pays off greatly, as the flood waters recede the valley the soil is looking as good as it did before the drought, and even the dead bodies are not enough to break the feeling of divine will resonate throughout the tribe, they are the ones that stayed and there are blessed for it. Animals that use to be hunted are starting to return to the valley, the dead that lay in the dirt are stripped of their supplies and buried. Survivors looking for a place to stay find homes by the warm fires of the Limu. Everything is looking up actually. There are some concerns about others who have refused the warm fires, but are starting to grow desperate in their hunger. The population is also growing quite quickly, and that has some of the shamans worried, especially given the large amount of dead surrounding the valley.
Stability: Stable (1)
Power: Tiny (1)
Supplies: The kits from the dead and the return of prey have bolstered supplies to a reasonable amount.
People: People are feeling rather blessed to survive, but population maybe growing too rapidly.
