Rise - Alien Societies Game

Action 1:migrate far away from the strong and undeveloped smitlerz and bring some waximus seeds
Action 2:still Try communication

Action 1 : Try developing a language still (I gotta be nearly finished, right?)
Action 2: Try finding new plants that may have been overlooked

(Also, is the Nguron’s leaves edible or only the roots?)

The leaves are covered in stinging hairs, so only the roots.

The language may not have a complete structure just yet, but it can certainly be considered a language.
Found in a cave is a sort of flower that seems to be bitter in taste, but soothes the stomach. (New Knowledge Gained)
Action Points: 2

What You Know

Fetshi: The orange grasses are what make up the bulk of the plains and are poisonous and inedible.
Nguron: Patches of small green bushes grow throughout the plains that have stinging leaves and roots that are edible.
Fetshitto: Rare short grass patches that are light orange in color grow edible nuts, but are rather sour in taste.
A cave flower tastes bitter, but calms the stomach of the ones who eat it.

An eight winged species of bird sometimes flies overhead, looking for corpses to dig into.
A four legged large reptile also roams the plains. It is incredibly strong and is the only predator of the Ocilayad.
Some sort of medium sized primate is scarcely is seen darting in between the grasses, hiding themselves to all others.

@QuantumCrab
Although the soldiers proved almost useless at first, the added help of the rocks thrown at the rodents allowed enough distraction for them to take a few of them out.
Action Points: 2

What You Know

A very common shrub grows in large patches. They are covered in thorns and bear berries which are inedible.
An isolated species of red leafed bush grow away from other plants also bear thorns. These thorns are not dangerous and the plant is edible.
The trees that make up the forest around the Scaar are red with green leaves. They sometimes grow large fruits filled with seeds.
A waxy leafed type of flower grows beyond in small number. They bear inedible nuts, but the stems are sweet to eat.
In a small area near the edge of the surveyed territory, a type of tree grows taller than the other. They have orange leaves and inedible nuts growing from them.

An amphibious species of mucus coated creatures are able to eat the fruits of the shrub patches and are typically found hidden within the patches.
A highly aggressive breed of bird flies in the canopy of the trees and will often attack creatures on the ground.
A sort of armored rodent exists that is highly territorial and oddly vicious given it’s small size. It digs burrows in which several of these armored rodents live.

@BowlDawg
Strides are taken towards naming and word usage for the Pei Falso. It doesn’t allow for much expression, but the undeveloped language will likely get the job done.
Action Points: 2

What You Know

A breed of tree with blunted leaves are most commonly seen. They grow hard fruits which are edible.
A smaller type of tree is rather uncommon that have berries that are sour to eat.
A type of shrub grows away from the trees has a wooden stem and produces nuts that are inedible.
Some mushrooms grow in dark places with water. These mushrooms numb and calm when eaten.

A large bird is a major predator of the Pei Falso, but they are not highly aggressive and don’t pose a threat of extinction.
While not an often occurrence, a swarm of tentacled bugs will sometimes come along and bathe themselves in the moisture of Pei Falso skin, causing much agitation.

@PositiveTower
The largest and dumbest Smitzlerz are left behind as the the more intelligent ones immigrate to new lands. As they approach their new home, mountains can be seen in the distance.
With their dumber counterparts gone, the intelligent ones can finally truly grasp language and communication. Their language is nearly complete.
Action Points: 2

What You Know

Stones, when struck together can crack into sharp weapons.

Waximus: Rarely, a tree leaking sticky wax is found in the hills. This tree bears nuts which can be picked up and blown far away by the wind.

The only real competitor the Smitzlerz have are a species of four armed and two legged carnivores. While not particularly aggressive or territorial, they still are the only other known carnivore in the hills.
A nocturnal creature that is very weak roams the night, searching for discarded nuts.
A snake like organism resides around the trees of the hills and will coil up them to eat the nuts.

@serialkiller
The language of the Saifs may not be perfect, but it can now certainly be considered a full language.
In the wake of the completed language, the Saifs divide power amongst themselves. It is decided that the eldest member holds power as the chieftain. The rest of the members hold less power the younger they are. An age based hierarchy has been created.
Action Points: 2

What You Know

A vine of the desert that bears fruit much bigger than itself is extremely rare and grows in hidden places.
Bushes grow around water sources that bear fruits are not all too common.

A massive reptile that is not often found roaming the desert will kill and eat any Saif it comes across.

First off, now that i have a simple language i think it is appropriate to name some things

Main tree that produces edible, hard fruits: Nuez Jugosa

Smaller tree that produces sour berries: Ponche de Bayas

Shrub that produces inedible nuts: Tuerca Desagradable

Mushrooom that calms and numbs: Medicamento Fungoso

As workers attempt to retrieve the supplies, they fail miserably. The rodents heavily injured the workers and forced them to retreat. (Reduced Chance of Success for 1 Round)
A portion of the area was collapsed, and unfortunately, it seems not to have done much damage to the rodents.

@BowlDawg
The Medica mushrooms are given out to the members of the Pei Falso successfully.
The shelters are weak and difficult to maintain. It is possible to maintain them, but they will require near constant repair. (Not using an action point to maintain the structures every round leaves a chance for them to collapse.)

In the desert, there really is not many materials around for making tools.
The same can be said for making huts. Simple dirt structures aren’t even viable due to the fact that the majority of the area is made of coarse sand.

Sorry if this seems unreasonable, but could you add a known tech and culture tab so we can keep track of what we have developed please?

Action 1: try farming Fetshitto
Action 2: Look for resources that could be used for building shelter

Also i would like to name the cave flower Kyverna, the Bird Attindlo, the reptile Surutaja and the Primate Inconako.

Action 1:start planting waximuses
Action2:domestic the nocturnal thing and name them Nuck

Hmmmmm let’s try something else
Vote 1: look harder for tool materials
Vote 2: try to create weapons for hunting purposes

Action: Develop a better way to support the shelters

Action points used: 2

Action 1: Wall off infested area with rocks and stones
Action 2: Relocate what supplies they gathered elsewhere

ROUND 8

As per Svrangite’s request, the “What You Know” category will be splint into “Life,” “Tech,” and “Culture” as new details are placed in for convenience.

@Svrangite
Several nuts were taken from a patch of Fetshitto and planted near the group and given water. The grass soon grew and the Ocilayad people feasted upon the spoils. This was short lived however, because the plants that the nuts were taken from were diseased and several members fell ill. Luckily enough, the discovery of the Kyverna reduced the effects of the sickness and no deaths occurred, but several people still need to recover. (-1 Action Point For 1 Round)
In a craft of ingenuity, the Fetshi grasses are used to build temporary cone shaped shelters that can be taken down and put back up.

@PositiveTower
A few Waximus seeds are planted around an oasis and begin to sprout.
During the night, some Smitlerz survey the barren landscape in search of the Nuck. Upon finding one, they ambush it and bring it to the rest of the group. They sit in a circle with the Nuck in the center, which is deathly afraid. The Smitlerz begin tossing nuts to the creature, and with hesitance, it begins to eat them. In the following nights, three more Nucks are found and corralled. But without any fencing or trust from the Nucks, they are liable to escape if not monitored constantly. (Not using an action point to monitor the Nucks leaves a chance of some if not all of them escaping.)
