Landfall

🐘 One-Tusk: Look, I'm just glad to be off the boat. We've got a large pile of land to cross, but managing a march I can do.

Ancient Ruins

🐘 One-Tusk: Ruins, yep. Various folks in the party are intrigued, but we're not exactly here to sight-see. And, as a matter of fact- a bear decides to make trouble for us. A big goddamn bear. It is very dangerous, and could at-ack at any moment. We must deal wit it.

Walleri

🐘 One-Tusk: Now, we encounter the Walleri well off their normal migration paths, and this is a group that… well, there's valuable cross-cultural sharing that can happen here. Their collective spirit is remarkable, but it comes at the expense of individual identity. They could spread the Revolution, but need to understand the value of individuals. This is doubly true in the case of disease AND hunters.

The Walleri are being hunted. They plan to sacrifice a segment of their herd so that the rest can get away. Not on my watch. I teach some of the Walleri to fight. It's a hard fought, and expensive victory- but it is a victory.

Mostly. My tampering drove a schism into the herd- their collective is broken in two. I'm not certain how I feel about that.
