I mean I could get you honey now but that’d sort of go against our ‘take it slow’ approach when it comes to messing with the island’s environment. I advise against it for the time being.

Also the attempt to force Coszacatl into a trial has been…interesting. Having humans attempt to pass judgement on her has not yielded much cooperation from her and were not for Iiniwa telling her to calm down there is a chance she might have just outright killed Nenetl for the effort. She is still somewhat distrustful of the tribe in general evidently. We kind of need the Huanacan to convince her to even show up to some sort of formal trial. Though I suppose we could also hold said trial wherever she happens to be at the time while she mildly ignores us too. Regardless of our intended ruling she doesn’t seem interested in letting us even hold such a thing.

As for cleaning the lake there is still always plan A of draining the lake so the oozes can get to the bottom and eat almost everything, leaving just enough for our snail project. Though Cosz’s idea is to throw even more stuff in it so that its not so much water and then just have the oozes eat everything entirely. Would need a lot of stuff to throw in it though…it is a lake. A very large lake, though thats part of the foil with both plans.

As for blood, Cosz says literally any blood works. As its more about how much liquid to nutrition is in it rather than any specific magic.

We sent the demon and Cosz back down to try and talk with the demon clan, they’re still making a bit of a trip regarding that one.

As for expanding the caves, uhh in theory maybe. Depends how many rocks we find buried in there. A small lair that it just sits in would be easy enough but I don’t imagine that would be too comfortable for them to just sit in a hole all day until we had them come out to do something. It’s not like he could wander the island much given that if anyone just looks at him wrong they could die. Maybe we make him a really big winter coat and a blindfold so he can roam the island…not sure how to make a coat that fits a serpent though.

I’ve had some people start planting the fruitier bushes we have on Auwana around where the foliage was cleared out. Hopefully that’ll grow nicely.

I sent a pair to go and relay your message to Coszacatl. She sent us back two cripples. They’ll be alright after their bones set back in place, and at least they can keep you company while yours do as well. Also we have helped you plenty, now just sit there and don’t move too much until your bones fix up.

With the discovery of how many tokens it takes to make one complete token for said jumps, we don’t quite have enough birds on hand for it. Turns out it doesn’t work with small regular birds. Sawiri was able to get us eight of them, though we may have to go hunting if we want more.

In hindsight, while we have non-humans we don’t really have monsters that Kinich might be able to particularly relate to. However, he was planning to meet up with orcs in the first place. So we could just send those guys who are loafing about the camp if we want to. Alternatively, since the Huanacan just sent their demon and ooze girls down there we could ask them to make a detour while they’re away. Could also send Ragash since she’s an orc and a bit more liable to do what she’s supposed to then our newest collections. They haven’t been broken in yet.

The next thunder storm will be on the far side of the mountain we hiked up to get onto the island, something about the mountain messing with the clouds from traveling across into the plains. That’ll be in two weeks time, so we’ll see how that goes.

Our scouts watching over the demons have noted them also preparing food, which makes sense that they are setting up logistics for a march. It is interesting though that very few other clans could afford to make any such effort in these times, but the demons have control of two territories since they took over the beastkin’s land and their original grounds are somewhat hidden behind it. We also noted a few agents visiting their village and taking some of these supplies out with them. They were gnolls, which leads us to believe that the demons are working with Kinich. However they haven’t done anything interesting yet, likely waiting for Kinich to get back with the orcs.

I suppose the most obvious untapped talent in the tribe is the demon girl of the Huanacan. She currently just does gathering and typical camp work. We also know that she was until recently rather unaware of the demon clan’s existence, she likely has never really tested the limits of her demon abilities which we know can be quite strong. It might actually be worth experimenting with having her learn any kind of magic, the demon clan itself doesn’t seem to use any so we don’t actually know how good demons are with the stuff.

Another hidden talent might be Coszacatl. She uses skeletons to grant herself movement and can use them to create more ooze children. I don’t think she would be good at learning any other clan’s magic simply because she’s too apathetic to really study it, sort of the opposite scenario of Alihana. However, if Sawiri were to enchant the skeleton she uses with something actually useful she might become even stronger than she is now.

Another good place to scout in general is those training under Iiniwa with various weapons, he is currently the main trainer for all of the tribe’s members seeking to better their martial skills. While currently none of them stand out to us in particular, the fact that they’re showing up to train with him at least shows some motivation that is worth commending.
