Medieval Rimworld Chapter 15: A Return To Form (finale)

[Luckmann]

The Hyena Heralds residing in Hyena Hovel.

Can we domesticate hyenas and actually use hyenas to raid and eat leprachauns? Because if so, 100%.

[Vergil]

I love silly little yeenas so I would second attempting to tame them

Someone with a high enough animal skill should be able to yeah but remember that you gotta feed them.

I mean do they not eat human flesh? If people attack us and we kill them, we could butcher them and feed the Hyenas with it? (Or would that make them prone to attacking us?) I'm not sure what is possible and what's not.

Yeah you can do that if you get attacked often enough.

[Acrux]

Childcare... Warden is pretty neat though!

If we adopt a hyena we should name it Bonecrusher.

Chapter 3: Someone Gets Decapitated



In this exciting chapter, I notice that we didn't build these doors symmetrically when repairing the fort and make it a top priority for correction.



Mathieu is doing well, it doesn't look like he'll be succumbing to the black coof.



Lemon hauls over a bucket of **** from the latrines over to our crops and tips it over to fertilize the soil. Everybody plays their part.



Hoss starts a fight with William in the dining hall and gets beaten so savagely his femur cracks. Nobody bothers to help him up.



Lathandra brings in our first crop, some shockingly quick to grow radishes. That fecal sludge fertilizer is no joke. The modder who made them should probably find an artist. Outside you can see two racks for drying raw hides into stiff and untanned leathers. We don't have anything set up for tanning yet, but at least they won't spoil once dried.



Elias misses a close range shot against a gazelle. He asked the researchers to figure out how to improve our bows, but Old Man overruled him and insisted on studying brewing.



Light religious debate over breakfast



Sivan manages to tame the one remaining hyena without getting any limbs gnawed off. He's pretty sure he can teach it to obey commands in battle and help with menial tasks. We name it Bonecrusher.



We're under attack! It's just one guy with a club, and Skull Smasher happened to be nearby so he challenges the bandit to single combat.



Combat is incredibly deadly with the mods we're using. We'll need some proper armor soon, hose and gambesons will only get us so far.



As soon as brewing is researched, Old Man rushes over to some unclaimed land and starts planting hops



Kala was nice enough to make Shani a broom since she spends most of her time wiping out muddy bootprints in the fort.



Vergil visits his roommate in the middle of the night for some reason.



Suddenly, a badly hurt person is sighted drifting down the river. He's lost his footing and can't get out. Stack rushes into action, shouting at Lathandra to bring some medicinal herbs.



Stack barely makes it in time, he's feeling a little woozy for some reason. Lathandra stops the bleeding and Stack carries him back into the fort to rest.




Hours later, another person in need runs screaming towards us, shouting about some vicious rat and offering to bestow honor on the lord of the fort...





-----------------------------------------



Wait, who is our leader? It's finally time to decide. Whoever we choose will get special abilities, including rallying others in combat, delivering morale boosting speeches, and sentencing people to death. He'll also have higher expectations and take the nicest room available in the fort. Other than that, he can also make executive decisions in the thread to determine what needs to be done, or prioritized, or slain. No more polls.

That said, not everybody is in the running. The womenfolk are out, obviously. Skull Smasher and Old Man are heathens, so they're out. With those 5 out of the picture, there are 10 more candidates to be nominated or to take themselves out of the running.


Acrux - Already has the physique of a lord. He's also the oldest of this lot.
Elias - Earns his keep by hunting. Doesn't cause too much trouble.
Hoss - An excellent shot, although he hasn't had much of an opportunity to kill anything yet. Great cook though.
Kala - Has been working long nights sawing logs into planks. Without him we wouldn't have these nice homes.
Mathieu - Stronger than the plague. Has also served as a royal advisor in the past.
Oscar - Says he'll do it if nobody else wants to.
Sivan - The finest fighter discounting noted freak of nature, Skull Smasher. He was a chivalrous knight before joining us.
Stack - The first to spring into action when someone needs help, or bricks carried from one place to the other. Formerly a landowner with his own vassals.
Vergil - The only one with royal blood among us. Excellent social skill, although that might be better suited for another role.
William - A noble's *******, for what it's worth. Close to Sivan when it comes to martial prowess.


And here's an overview of our settlement. Just one more home and everyone will be moved out of the fort.

I have big plans for Lil' Rusty. Just you wait.

if he dies you get banned and this thread gets deleted btw

[Luckmann]

Very strong "I don't know who you are." energy.

Elias misses a close range shot against a gazelle. He asked the researchers to figure out how to improve our bows, but Old Man overruled him and insisted on studying brewing.

Based old man knows that if we have beer it won't bother us half as much when we miss with our arrows.

@Vergil visits his roommate in the middle of the night for some reason.

Make sure that @Stack still has his penis.

Wait, who is our leader?

Leader? I thought we were an autonomous collective!
I vote Stack, William, Sivan, Vergil, in that order.

And we (by which I mean you people) are obviously doing the quest. We have a hyena now. How bad can a rat be? Feed the rat to Bonecrusher.

[A Chinese opium den]

I vote for Acrux.

[Tweed]

I vote for myself, of course.

[Jordy]

“Barbarism is the natural state of mankind. Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph.”

[Jordy]

I vote for Hoss. What could go wrong?

[ArcaneLurker]

Since it needs to be someone good at combat to make use of the abilities, Hoss or Sivan, depending on if it's better to be backline or frontline.

If that's not an issue, Avery, because a King needs to be fat, obviously.

[Irenaeus]

Another vote for Acrux.
Great update, very funny.

[Rand]

In this exciting chapter, I notice that we didn't build these doors symmetrically when repairing the fort and make it a top priority for correction.

Not your fault. The pre-existing walls were different on different sides.

[Stack of Turtles]

Leader? I thought we were an autonomous collective!
I vote Stack, William, Sivan, Vergil, in that order.

I was going to vote for Vergil because he might kill me and drain my blood if I don't, but then I saw that there's already a vote for me and my ego took over.

I vote for myself, but I might need to craft a cross.

[Vergil]

I vote for Stack

Perhaps Oldman can plant some garlic.

[Kalarion]

I vote for Acrux.

[Stack of Turtles]

Reminder: voting for me is the best way not to get drained to death by vampires.

[Finarfin]

Not related to him saying that but I also vote for stack

[LemonDemonGirl]

Voting is gay

Chapter 4: Bear's Gape 3

Lord Stack savagely burns his fiercest competitor, Acrux, during his lordly ceremony.



Now we can accept the ques- for ****'s sake.



Hours later, Sivan is brutally mauled by a bear he was attempting to tame. He'll bleed out in a few hours if nothing is done.



The enraged and wounded bear charges towards the rescue team, Old Man uses the opportunity to slip by and run to Sivan's side.



Elias opens with a shot to the spine before the spearmen strike its vital organs. Skull Smasher unsurprisingly smashes the bear in the skull, ripping its eye apart and causing it to collapse. Logs are read bottom->top by the way.



Old Man patches Sivan up in the field, but that toe is gone for good. On the bright side, taking on a bear all by himself makes him the most popular guy around.




Elsewhere, Acrux uses a wooden plank to completely ******* pulverize the manhunting rat that was chasing the noble lady. It was an equally exciting battle. She departs without incident, Lord Stack is given the title of Freeholder, and construction of the final(?) home begins.



The Fallen Dominion, the faction ratlady was from, offers to bestow Lord Stack with a higher title and something called a psylink so long as establishes a proper throne room. If someone else had taken command, perhaps resources could be dedicated towards, say, armored footwear, but Lord Stack demands a throne. We can't construct one just yet, so research is immediately diverted towards figuring out how to build a nice chair.



Skull Smasher forms a bond with Bonecrusher while training him. He'll now tail him and protect him whenever he gets into combat. Seems like the last person who needs protecting to me, but oh well.



Sivan's pants are pretty ripped up from getting Halsin'd earlier. Our crafting nook is pretty cramped so we'll just shove it in Lemon's room for now.



Kala gets our first recurve bow made. The difference in range is pretty impressive.



Hoss and Lathandra exchange blows over ideological differences. Others complain about sleeping arrangements.



Summer is upon us, which means fall is coming, and then winter is coming. We don't have any excess of food, we're basically eating meat as soon as it comes in. Seems like a later problem though. There's a throne that needs to be built.



Speaking of spoiled, here's Lord Stack's new bedroom.



Vergil tucks his new roommate to sleep.



Shani flirts with Sivan, but he isn't exactly into it.



A big buckwheat harvest comes in. I looked up some video recipes for it and it doesn't look particularly pleasant, but we're stuck with it until we further agricultural research. In the upper left you can see an excretion pit I had dug in case someone working the fields couldn't make it to the latrine.



Here's our weapon situation by the way. We can't manufacture any melee weapons besides knives and clubs right now.



The Christian populace agrees it's finally time we get ourselves a priest, and of course a church. Priests maintain and spread faith, they conduct funerals, and they preach health in dire situations. Social skill is a big deal for this role as it affects how convincing they are at converting and helping others. Again, people can nominate themselves for or decline the position, but ultimately Lord Stack will be deciding who will be our priest.







--------------------------



Lots of empty rooms in the fort now. What should we do with them?



Started furnishing the homes and installing fireplaces for the winter. If we can get some dried meat or something we can have a little emergency stockpile in each one.
