It is an age beyond history. Men have regressed to struggle once more against Nature, red in tooth and claw.

First thread: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2024/6065973/

You are Mlakli, sole known survivor of your tribe after an attack upon your people by the ruthless scalemen. The rest of your people were captured, made slaves or worse. Since that day, you have struggled to survive in the wilderness while seeking vengeance and the means to free your captured kin.

Initially, you foraged for food, found water, and set traps in the dense forest. In search of shelter, you discovered a small cave and crafted tools, including an axe and traps to catch deer for meat and materials.

During your journey, you encountered Iladj, an older healer who joined you and shared his knowledge of survival and tales of other threats like the dreaded bloodthirsty cult of the wolfmen.

You faced a scaleman attacking Dozer, your herding dog, and managed to kill it. You skinned it alive in revenge and to make a warning to others.

A suspicious man approached your camp. Given his uncertain story and conflicting details, you decided to send him away instead of risking keeping him around, for fear he was a scaleman collaborator. If your suspicions are correct, that means he could make you regret letting him leave alive...

INVENTORY:
Stone axe, scaleman blade, deer meat (plentiful), herbs, scaleman skin, snakeskin, stone knife

You consider your next steps carefully after the encounter with the suspicious man. Ensuring he isn't a threat remains a priority before moving on.

You and Iladj double-check if the man has indeed left for good by examining his tracks and confirming he isn't lurking nearby. Returning to the main tracks you discovered earlier, you gather any significant clues or changes. As you investigate, you discuss recent events with Iladj, contemplating your best course of action.

Iladj expresses concern that the stranger might have been scouting for others or leading more scalemen toward your position. You share his caution but also feel an urgency to act — either by securing your camp further or making a move now, before he can retaliate.

>Stay put and stay vigilant
