We can't leave they know we're here and we can't risk them spreading word of our presence. Time for dirty fighting. Next swing, bite his wrist. Bite down hard until bones break, then throw dirt into his eyes. Maybe even a kick to his sensitive seeds for good measure. While he's down it will free Oklak to handle the female while you take axe and sword and finish him off.

Once dealt with you can take the daughter hostage and stop the raging mother

>>966463
I agree with this.

>>966483
I don't think we should bite him (pretty dangerous since he has reach) but I do agree we can't let them go. I don't think the guy is "female material" so I think we should dispose of him. Maybe Oaklak should fight the mother, knock her out.

>>966483
>>966525
Hey, remember when Analey was resisting us because some other Gormoamhi took her husband away? Consider the scenario where Guk can't deflect blame, he is definitely dead, and the females are this strong. I don't think it goes well.

That said, there IS a concern about having your presence in the area revealed, so we need to do something. I recommend you take that weird gift of languages you've got and try a COMPLETE change in strategy here. Keep dodging and talk to them. Start with "who even ARE you?"

They are not used to People who can talk, maybe you can get them of balance and questioning other things they have come to expect.

You do not like being hit. You do not like being defied. He's dead.

You grab a handful of dirt and grit. As the male gets close, you throw the wad directly into his face. He cries out in surprise. It leaves him open as your knee goes straight into his seeds. The cry of surprise becomes a whimper of pain as he doubles over.

Hack and slash. You swing down with the axe. He raises an arm to block. It embeds in the bone. Next comes the sword, and the arm comes free of his body, flying upwards with the axe as you raise for another swing. It buries into his chest, breaking ribs, and crushing a long. No shout comes from him but a bloody gurgle. Blood and iron fill your senses. Hack and slash. You force the chest open. Hack and slash, the guts spill free. Hack and slash, hack and slash. Again and again the sword and axes rise and fall until the body is a bloody mess and the only movement is the twitching impact of your blows. The haze disappears, your lungs are on fire. Blood hot and sweet drips off the blades. You lost yourself in that butchery.

"Oklak, how is the female?"

"Oh I finished her long before you were."

"What? How?"

Oklak shrugs "I just took her metal stick and smacked her over the head with it and she went down. I told you Neh-yah-ka are weak" he prods the female with his foot. It's still breathing. "So what now?"

"We take this all back home. Sizzala will want the male's carcass for parts. Hitch the animals and we shall go."

"There are no animals. Remember when I said they shared land with Ah-var? Well the bird things make all kinds of crazy magic with the metal. Like carts that pull with no animal. This is one of them. I seen em work the front, tickling metal bits and pushing other metal stuff to make it belch smoke and fire and it starts to move on its own. I do not know how to make it do that."

>If Guk and Oklak are taking the females on foot, then everything else will have to be left behind.
>>What shall be done?

>>966757
>>966758
Might want to prepare for any vengeance attempts from the women for that.

You need to work on your anger management. If you kill people solely because they oppose your leadership, you can be controlled.

Order the females to take their belongings as your new servants, or you will take them to bed.

If they comply, do not plow. Betrayal in addition to loss, and they'll raise their pups to hate your guts. Just find a way to trade them off as hostages later.

Take half the supplies, and the weakened female. Have the younger one walk, with whatever she can carry.

As long as you have the mother, she should be compliant.

>>966771
While we're at it, let's ask her how to operate the cart.

>>966759
Yes, the daughter can walk, threat her with her mother and take some supplies, Once youar at home tell Tokrazar to go for the rest. You shall claim your prize.

The daughter must surely know how to make it work. Get her to drive the cart home with promises of letting her mother live if she complies.

Are you a big enough bastard to threaten the life of the unconscious female to make the conscious female start the cart?

Check if any wheels on the cart are free. Check if your victims have rope. If yes, tie rope to the axle of the non-free wheels and use that to pull the cart.
And if all wheels are free, it's even easier!

>>966770
This

Basically, you ruined any chance of getting any sort of loyalty out of any of them now. And also any mental conditioning more than likely won't last very long, because sometimes there is no stronger mental focus than revenge.

TL;DR you just created a revenge story protagonist.

>>966809
We can use Tokrazar’s position to make them loyal if our usual methods don’t work.

Guk, Inspect the fancy handles in the front of the cart.

We'll just have to figure this out.

You climb into the front and attempt to learn the controls by throwing every switch and pressing every button. Nothing happens. The wheels are in fact spheres, and you have no idea how they are connected to the cart. You've reached the end of your patience.

Tying the carcass to the top of the cart, you knock the door, demanding the daughter show herself if she wants to see her mother again. She nervously complies...

Some time later she has the cart moving, fear compelling her more than anything as you ride atop the belching, hissing thing and Oklak holds the mother inside.

"Guk! You've returned! What in ash and cinder is that?"

"It's an ah-var cart. I do not know how to make it go, but the females we caught do."

"More females? More mouths to feed"

"It will be handled. The plan changes anyway, as we have learned much."

"Guk? Guk!" Seq comes running up from the alcove he has turned into his impromptu workshop.

"Guk I-what is that?"

"Cart, makes smoke and fire."

"I-oh. Oh, this is a good source of metal!"

"Do not take it apart. Not yet at least. We still need to figure out everything inside and how we can use it. You were saying Seq?"

"Hm? Oh yes! I had the gob-lee and dah-een work on the weapons! They are good now!"

He gestures to a wall lined with sharpened sticks and stiff bows. "I know they do not look like much, but this is for the non-people. They don't need much. Oh and I managed to make an additional five collars too! It will be so much easier to hold females now, though I think it would be easiest if we had some sort of cage system like we did back home to hold all females.

"Speaking of females" Tokrazar buts in "I finished another batch of Tugalvu and I tested it on your ghost-skins" he smiles at the writhing gah-meen, making feral animal noises as they press their bodies against cold wall and floor, vigorously rubbing themselves. "This batch was very potent. I think training them now would yield great results. If Bathrae is any proof. She is adjusting well. Better than those two."

"Mmmm, Ghost-skins do feel better than Neh-yah-ka. Guk?"

>I will claim my new female tonight(Take a Neh-yah-ka, let the Ghost-skins suffer)
>Ivaka needs my guidance, she needs to learn(Take Ivaka, the Neh-yah-ka will be imprisoned tonight)

I like the second option better, but the bears will need watching until they're a little more compliant.

Option 3: Put Myutina in the same room as the Rezans. Have Sizzala keep a close eye and make sure they don't get too rough.

Let's go for Ivanka first, save the Neh-yah-ka for tomorrow.

The ghostskins will be trained tonight. Tokrazar was not lying. Ivaka would ordinarily fight you and curse. She does not resist when you lift her leg and claim her. She is yielding, soft, as amazing as you remember. As the Neh-yah-ka are taken to the holding place, you plow your ghostskin with gleeful abandon, sinking your tool into her yielding flesh and reveling in the warmth that envelops you with every thrust. Paste and liquid pleasure seep from her cleft as you thrust, making your plowing that much faster, and noisier. When you can hold it no more, you slam forwards and plant seed. You hold yourself in place as you feel Ivaka shake and spasm. She has experienced her own climax from this. As you start to pull free, she whispers one word. One you can barely hear.

"More."

That one word, you had not expected to hear from her is enough to excite you again. You almost forget that this is a time for training. But you don't. She gets more. But only as you establish you are the Gormoamhi, and she is a non-person. You are in control, and your pleasure is hers, not the other way around.

Oklak does the same for his claim mate behind you, plowing her as though it was his first time. His gah-meen is like Ivaka, moaning and gasping like a Gormoamhi woman in heat, bodies ravenous as they take all seed your bodies empty into them. Ivaka, Siloka, they have changed completely from the females you first met. Ivaka pulls you in, holds you tight as you claim her body over and over. Siloka wraps her legs around Oklak as he plants seed in her, licking sweat that forms on his chest as she is lost in the delirium of pleasure.

And they still want more.

You discipline your ghost-skin, even as you give her more. You punish her with painful denial, holding her in place while she writhes and begs for release. Release which you don't give until she calls you-

"Master Guk. Please! Fill me! Fill me you wretched savage!"

Close enough. The lessons continue...

You sit by the bonfire, seeds empty after a long training session. Ivaka crawls into your lap and grasps your tool, cleaning you without a word or needing prompt. You hope this is her learning and not the hunger of Tok's medicine; and that this behavior will continue long after it has worn off. You idly stroke her hair as the other gather.

It is week's end, it is time to take stock of the clan's holdings

Food = 28 armfuls(will be 18 by tomorrow)
Stone = 15 (If the quarry cannot be used, an alternate source must be found)
Wood = 10 (Much was used in making the non-people weapons)
Hides = 1 (Saqrar says the dead Neh-yah-ka fur is soft and would be better made into a cloak)
Leather = none, all spent on the collars.
Bones, blood, and ritual organs = Enough for a possibly strong Woman-magic spell, and talismans crafted.
Junk = lots
Carcasses = Neh-yah-ka

Seqrar talks about his projects and how much the shelter can be improved if he has the right materials. He presents several plans that have been buzzing around in his head.
>Beds - Gormoamhi can sleep anywhere. Non-people cannot. They need soft beds for their soft bodies, and he admits plowing females on one feels so much better. With wood and soft things he can build a bed, maybe more.
>Gob-lee Huts- Gob-lee don't need much space to live, and it'll be easier to find them for work if they all lived and slept in one place close to the clan. With some leather and wood, Seqrar could build some small huts in a room big enough for the Gob-lee.
>Forge - The Forge-mistress made all sorts of things when she had a place to burn wood and melt metal. If Seqrar had enough stone, he could build one for himself and make all kinds of things, like Cages.
>Smith - The Craft-mistress used to make tools and weapons in a place like this, working melted metal that was free of bad stuff and making better things with it. Of course Seqrar would need lots of metal for it.
>Cookhouse - Cooking meat takes so long, and wastes a lot of time when the only place to do it is the bonfire. If Seqrar had stone, wood, and some some pots, meat curing and smoking could be done by itself without wasting a Gormoamhi's time
>Garden - The garden in the center of the shelter grows all kinds of things. Not all of it Tok can use. With some wood to catch rain, Seqrar could make an irrigation system to grow all the plants and stuff Tok needs instead of wasting it on pointless plants that do nothing but smell weird.
>Birthing Place - Pups will be coming soon. Better to give a place for the females(and Sizzala if she ever has any) to birth them properly so the pups don't die. It would also serve as a place for the pups to live until they are old enough to become whelplings and learn. Seqrar would needs lots of wood and soft things.
>Cage - The old place the clans would use always had large cage things to hold females. They were sturdier than the room the shelter uses, and would give more space for storing things without need to watch the females all the time. Seqrar would need lots of metal for it though.
>Magic Place - Tokrazar and Sizzala have been pestering Seq for a place to do magic, a place where 'it comes easier' for them. He does not know what that means, but they said he'll need lots of bones, wood, and metal to make it. Tok says he can make better talismans that way, and Sizzala can do stronger woman-magic.

Oklak relays the news of the fort, and the clan is disturbed. Tok brings up the catacombs again and says we should focus on reaching that Door. Sizzala says we should start picking off Fort warriors, make them paranoid and prone to attacking the Ghost-skins. Saqrar thinks both could be done, and should be done.

Sizzala makes it clear needs more food as we are eating it faster and faster with all the non-people now in the clan. Saqrar brings up that loyal half-people can go hunting and fishing, but Sizzala things Oklak should stop wasting time and go back to hunting. Seqrar says if a Cookhouse is made, he and Seqrar can make the food last longer and make smaller portions more filling, but that just makes Tok grumble that we also need a source or stone and wood for lots of things.

>Much needs to be decided for the new week.
>>What shall be done about the fort?
>>What will Seqrar build, if anything?
>>How will supplies be gathered?

If there's enough stone to build the forge, do that. If not Goblee huts, then onto the garden.
Oklak and Guk need to go out tomorrow to kill an animal or a fort patrol.
Saqrar takes a team of goblins to scavenge for fruit, metal and junk, if he has time left, he can work on the cloak.

Sizz and Tok remain guarding the rest. Sizz can take a few females fishing, but don't get too far.

>>967069
I think this is a good suggestion. Ansileu should go fishing with Sizz, Tok should stay watching the rest of the females with one of the twins.

Down the list:
-Seq will build a cookhouse. Surely that cart the Neh-yah-ka have has pots and other cooking implements. If he doesn't have enough, send him out to gather what he needs with the goblins. Once built that should save some time in the future and stretch rations out more.
-Sizz can watch the females. Sizz has been doing a good job so far even if it annoys her.
-Oklak goes hunting for more meat. Preferably close to Saq who will go fishing.
-Anslieu keeps working his family to be loyal. Take them on a family fishing trip with Saq to get them talking.
-Guk checks on Ionilee and triea to disrupt fort patrols
-Tok searches the catacombs.


As for collars, the Neh-yah-ka are the newest so they better get two to keep them in line. Siloka will get the third, and save the last two. Depending on who Anslieu can convince, we can use one, both, or none on his family.

"So I am back to hunting again? Pfeh, we are surrounded by Ghost skins, dah-een, and who knows what else. They'll snatch up all the good game."

"What about the beasts in the Quarry? That was a big one."

"Ghost skins are there remember?"

"Then don't let them see you stupid. You say you are best hunter, so start being best hunter! At least you won't waste all day watching stupid females like some pup-herder! And when will you fix Baeohar? You spend more and more time with that ghostskin than the dah-een."

"They're my females, I decide what to do with them!"

They can be at this for hours. Time for rest. You take Ivaka and Analey with you to your preferred corner and wait for sleep to come.

You are Tok. You fell asleep claiming Anslieu. Your claim-mate slipped away without waking you this morning. He went off to convince his family to cooperate. You have a more important task: study the catacombs and what they hide.

The door is still open from last time, the lines along the wall glow bright. As you trace your finger among them, you see the scratchings of the ruin writings light as you walk by

And so it was, and so it shall be the Prophet prayed for Eight Days and Eight Nights. The gods did not reply. On the Eigth Night, the True Master of All spake.

The Prophet listened to the True Master. Power untapped, was free to be granted. Power however requires power, and sacrifice is the greatest power.

You reach the second chamber, alight with a mighty green fire blocking another door. Around the pit more of the ancient scratchings glow.

The Prophet slew his rival and gave his soul unto the True Master. The First Seal was broken and Power came unto the Prophet. And thus did the Prophet conquer Resao, and thus the Prophet became the Priest-King Yishic I.

Very wordy.

>>The fire blocks the path
>What shall Tok do?

Take a piece of Nehyahkah and feed it to the flame. If that doesn't work, we could go upstairs for a spare goblin and kill it here.

I'm sure something must be sacrificed, but not the parameters.

So the Yishic dynasty was founded by a soul-devouring tyrant. Oh joy.

>What do
First off, do NOT sacrifice anyone to this @#$%er. Not even your cannon fodder.

See if you can sacrifice totems, especially those of the virgin quality.

>>967599
Maybe we should capture one of the guys from the fort. No way we will sacrifice one of the females.

We already have a corpse. If we really don't want to feed the bearman soul to the dark gods we could just try throwing in an animal first see if that works. Otherwise we can just toss in what's left of the carcass

>>967644
Alternatively we could try Kome's idea and knock up a female, put that magic into a talisman and throw that in. Maybe it will be powerful enough to count as a substitute

>>967644
the issue there is the soul has left the body.

But it, and the goblin, are useful data points.

Make plans to pray for eight days maybe?

>>967648
The speech said he.slew his rival THEN fed the god his soul. So I'm thinking maybe all we need is just meat for the fire. If the sacrifice really does need a soul we can try with sonething else later
