It's about that time for praying and with the scientists needing the smelter we won't be able to complete the boxes until winter is lifted

Supporting, Better to keep the gods happy, as we learned. Might net us a better way to get glowflowers.

Spearmen continue to improve, their practice keeping them diligent despite the somewhat slower pace everyone else is going at.

The scientists have become able to recreate the wooden armor. It is now possible to create a few suits of armor every season. The crafting process is rather awkward and hard to do for the large fingers of the shroom men but they manage.

The wooden armor is capable of deflecting some blows to the body, arms, and legs.

>Wooden Armor

The shrooms continue to pray to the Alter of Shrom, but they get no messages or visions. Your head priest of U-so, tired of the cave conditions, braves out to pray at the Sun Alter. He returns moments later and informs others that the sun has blessed you all again with the warming light.

As the cold begins to leave your shrooms regain their vigor and head out into the village. Now that winter is over you have a good focus for your newfound energy. A mine.

With the construction of a mine you should get a few units of stone and possibly even copper a turn without even having to order your troops to mine it. Heck they will probably even smelt it on their own without even being told to.

You order some of your shrooms to construct a real mine. Similar to the warming cave with several supporting wooden columbs. But making a mine may take a little while.

Time to Mine!

With the slightly warming temperature out your scientists are able to make a quick trip to the Smelt with a wagon of mud vases. After a day or two the scientists return. A few hardened mud vases. The vases can even carry water! Weird?! Right!

>Upgraded Containment Done

---

With the cold all but gone the godgiven mission of your people must be fulfilled. You get a party of Shrooms together, a large pot full of the healthiest dirt and a wagon and head out into the forest to look for this tree of which your priest spoke. One... you recall from last spring! The tree you found the last generation resting under.

You spend days looking for the tree, looking endlessly day and night until you stumbel upon it.

A clearing in the jungle is home to the Tree of which the priest spoke. She neglected to mention one small problem though. The Ogre.

Around the Shroom tree are three giant Ogers eating the dead bodies of several creatures. Laughing as they grink the blood and chew the bones of a massive beast.

Each of the Ogres standing probably 9 Feet tall and twice as thick as any of your shrooms.

this

>>1423605
Support for this. No way we can fight 3 huge ogres with forces we have with us right now.

Those Ogres don't look to kind. A strategic withdraw is the clear choice to make here. You value your men to highly to allow them to rush into combat like this without any backup. These ogres will be a massive battle. Why are they even here in the first place? Ogres don't live in jungles right? They live in forests where they can run and grab faster moving creatures.

You return to the village empty handed to gather more troops.

---

The mine is being widened and more support structures are being added like in the warming cave.

While digging your miners occasionally bring back the rocks they cleared away back to the village when they switch out shifts. Giving you a nice income of resources this turn.

>+20 Stone
>+10 Copper We are going to say that so long as the ore is mined in a location with a smelter or Kiln, the Ore is auto made into bars. To save time and have less things to keep track of.

Time to Mine!

You recall the scientist took several of your special glowflower pastes a while ago. Should probably check in and see how that's going.

You walk on over to his hut and knock on the door "Come... Come on it" You open the door and find scientist sitting in what seems to be a pretty comfortable leaf hammock. "Chief! What brings you here?" he says standing from the bed.

"Paste? How'd that turn out? The stuff made from the glowflowers, remember?"

""Ah, yes, yes, yes the paste. Truly interesting stuff you invented here chief. My research shows that it is useful as a hyper regenerative medication, look" Scientist takes off his leaf shirt and points to one of his shoulders. There is a clear line of change.

"What happened?" you ask

"Had to suffer for my work a little" He laughs. "Nobody volunteered so I had to take the thing off myself to test the effects."

"You cut your arm off?!"

"Source chief, anything in the pursuit of information. But what I learned is far more interesting." He pulls out a stone slab with some lines chiseled into it. "The left are the number of days it took to regrow an arm after an acid slug attack."

Basic counting is something your people have picked up on. There are tones of lines on the left side, more than you can count.

Scientist pulls out another slab "And this is arm growth with this medication."

Three lines. An entire arm will fully regrow in three days with this medication. "A useful resource indeed chief."

>Glowflower paste: Effects learned

---

This is the season of birth it would seem for your people. Last year you found several children under the tree guarded by the ogres, but that is not an option right now. A party with wagon and strong pots are loaded and sent into the jungle to look for the next generation.

>>1424768

Seconding this

I also just realized that without vocal chords our marching songs aren't heard by everyone else, all they see is a line of giant armed men marching in perfect sync in absolute quiet. Unless you're one of the people sensitive to the spores in which case they get within 50 paces and get blasted with our glorious cadences

>>1424771

Bring all trained and skilled Spearmen, their goal will be to hold the ogres back while our squad of slingers pelts at them from behind the formation

>>1424776

>When you get within 50 paces of the glorious shroom army

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDQf0euS7xM

>>1424771
All of the Shroom Spears, the Slingers (WE really need more of these guys. WE need a training facility so training these guys after building the tools is automatic) and the Chief himself.

>>1424786

I don't think we're trained at all in warfare, not sure if we can help

>>1424790
Kind of a morale thing. Showing the Chief is willing to fight for the people. Besides, he's a hero unit. It might not end terribly.

>>1424794

And it might end the worst way possible, we should train and get some armor before we throw ourselves out there

Lurkers, stop lurking. Need votes.

>>1424803
OK ok, we'll leave the Chief behind. I figured he'd stand in the back and just shout orders at people anyways. You know, learning tactics and crap.

>>1424809

Ah, sorry was taking it too far in my interpretation, that wouldn't be bad, so long as our spearmen held we should be safe, and it is a mission for the Godess

I was thinking on bringing the slingers, hiding them to hide in the jungle and aim at the eyes of the ogres. After we blind them, we should let them have their panic attack and then attack them or just simply sneak under their noses and take the tree while they are blinded.

>>1424820
>hiding them to hide
Muh English

>>1424820
Too many variables, and besides that if we burn one of their corpses we can get more Sun favour, where we can use the others to make Ogreshrooms. Tell me that's not worth the extra effort and risk.

>>1424828
Ah, fuck it out, lets go fuck up some ogres for the glory of Shrom and U-so

>>1424832
>fuck it out
Wtf is wrong with me today...

>>1424835

It's alright man, just fuck it out

Oh, and we should really give our guy a name

>>1424832
Have you voted yet?

I'm being told only one person voted.

>>1424846

I like just Chief, it can be an inherited title as well, no matter what your name was prior once you become chief you are simply Chief

Let's beat some ass!

>>1424894

No sneaky beakies, I wouldn't be surprised if we forgot that other creature could hear the songs on the GLORIOUS SHROOM ARMY ON THE MARCH

You stand afront near two dozen shroom warriors, ready and willing to give their all to reclaim the holy shroom tree from the Ogre menace. They raise their spears in holy fervor and march forward into the jungle.

Soon your men notice the terrain... You are close to your enemy. You give the order to prepare an ambush for the lumbering beasts. Your slingers climb the trees for a better vantage point. You receive a message from them.

"Chief, only two enemies sighted. What do?"

The third probably just left right? "Fire when ready"

Your men ready the slings as your spearmen stand at the treeline, hidden in plain sight. Then the battle begins!

Your slingers unleash a volley of stones instantly blinding one of the Ogres. It drops the leg of venison it had been eating and rushes the trees in a 'blind' rage Heh, get it? Blind.

As the first Ogre rushes your line your spearmen extend their spears forward into the charging beast. It runs into a wall of spears and falls dead. Landing atop one of your Skilled spearmen spearmen. Totally crushing him.

The first threat taken care of your slingers focus fire on the second Ogre who has grabbed a massive and swats away the rocks, leaving only half to actually make contact.

It charges your front line of spearmen taking minimal damage from its rough hide.

It takes a mighty swing at your line and tears off the Cap of the man beside you and throwing several of them to the ground. A small group of your men circle around and begin stabbing the creatures back. It doesn't like that. It grabs one of your shrooms with both hands and eats his head. The carnage is ended when a shroom scales the beasts back and stabs him through the head with a spear.

It falls to the ground with a thud.

Your terrified troops regain composure and take a moment to breathe. But the respite is cut short. "THE THIRD!" you hear before one of your men is launched over your head and shatters into pieces against a tree.

You turn around to see the third Ogre behind your line slamming a Spearmen into the ground over and over. But you have had enough loss today! You take the spear of a fallen shroom and rush the last Ogre.

A jump is all that's needed to put you at face level with it. It also gives you enough momentum to pierce the hide and impale the heart of the creature. He falls forward directly onto you! But the chief will not be done in that easily! Using all your might you lift the Ogre off of you and toss it to the side.

Your men quickly move the tree into the large pot in the wagon and return it to the village.

>Five Skilled shroom Spearmen died today. May they rest in piecees

>+3 Ogre bodies.
>+1 Tree of Shroom
>-5 Spearmen

>Updoot(1/2) stand by for part 2

>>1424952

We should work on recovering the bodies at some point for our nursery

A place of honor for our glorious dead

Also taking the Chief along turned out way better than expected

In the mean time, your villagers found some kiddos. They are adapting well to the nursery.

Truffle hunt
>+15 Truffles.

The digging continues to make a proper mine. Everything is going well. Reports say it should be done soon.

Time to mine
>(3/4)
------------------------------------

Event: Under the tree of Shroom you also found 15 MORE truffles. Meaning you have 30 children this season! Thats way to many for the nursery. What will you do with the extra 10

>>1424961
> expand the nursery again, or build a second one maybe
> sacrifice an ogre body to sun god
> continue digging mine

>>1424961

>>1424974

This is good, while we expand the nursery we should take the extra 10 and seed them in the 2 Ogre corpses down in the warming caves

>>1424976
[The nursery is able to hold 20 Truffles currently.]

>>1424961
>Event; Ask if someone wants to take them, like the Miners, the Priest, Our Scientist, heck maybe their is a Soldier who wants to raise these guys into soldiers later in life
>Sacrifice and Ogre
>Work on Mine
>Build more Spears (10)
We need to up our military work, I think another 10 new Spearshrooms, and 15 new Slingers is a good start. And give those SpearShrooms Armor And maybe a training Yard. We also need to try to expand the warm cave again, maybe we can go downwards with our new copper picks. So much to do.

>>1424974
I like these
>>1424974
>>1424976

>>1424988

I know, we would move the orge's dead down to the warming caves so that there is at least a close environment to what the shroomlings want and then place them with the corpses so that they use them as nutrients

>>1424997
[Right, I am blind. Oh the wonders of co-qming.]

The mine is finished. However you must leave a portion of your villagers there to do the mining. You now must decide a primary focus for your mine to extract. The more men you place here the more you will extract a turn but the longer your other actions will take.

>+10 Stone
>+2 Copper bars

---

The surplus of stone from the mining operation is finally coming in handy. Your villagers begin constructing a new wing to the nursery. The new wing will be around the size of the primary building. Doubling the amount of Truffles you can house there at once.

They... don't fit.

"Chief we tried everything. Standing the ogres on their sides, inserting them long ways, even pushing them in, but they simply can't fit. We stuck two of the bodies around back of the hut and put the truffles in there instead.
