Your tribe has not been idle while your Hunters went to assist our blue neighbors. The iron mine cuts deep into the cavern floor, chips of iron ore pile high in our storage.
Days away your Hunters leave the moderate comfort of the Homunculi, their vengeance against The Green delivered in full. Ice crunches beneath their feet, the wind damnably harsh and snow freezing to thick mammoth furs. Jyoti fumbles with one of the tiny sticks given as a gift from the Homunculi, with a tiny click it bursts to life. Illuminating the immediate darkness and, thankfully the ground beneath your Hunters feet.
>Welcome back to Giants on Ice!

HI, welcome back! Im going to wait a few mins before actually starting up on the rolls so people can show up and get comfy.
NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS
Sorry to interrupt, but my computer did survive the storm, however, it crashed and I lost some stuff, so dwarf civilization is likely not to happen today, but tomorrow.
>>37419936
well shit, get that thing fixed and get your ass back on here.
>>37419924
YOURE NOT MY REAL MOM!
>>37419936
Son of a shit biscuit I was hoping for it CM.
Also going over the possible research topics now. I see some I really want to take a crack at to help our food problems in this civ.
>>37419867
Hey, I'm ready to go.
>>37419936
>>37419975
The answer is never traps. Because in two civilizations traps have failed me...
>>37419992
Yeah I remember those fails gramen. All too well.
Just be glad you didn't kill anyone with them.
>>37420041
Unlike my attempts to feed the fish in a certain other thread >.>
>>37419914
At the ready
>>37420051
Which thread was that? Also, would anyone be interested in a Q&A thread like slow's scumlord threads? Or did the massive writefaggotry dump in the orc civ thread answer your questions?
Okay the pastebin had some interesting topics we could look into.
fertilizer (mammoth shit to improve farms bolsters food output somewhat)
basic farming (which we never actually took. the giants barely know how to grow things. again maybe more food output)
We also need to learn basic smithing and discover mortar. that unlocks a shit ton of options for us. But those will be costing resources like precious precious wood. I hope those coils the homos gave us will work for some decent heating. we could use the help there.
>>37420085
The hard mode human slave thread.
I don't really know what I'd ask haha...
>>37420133
I think we have basic smithing. But I agree that farming/fertilizer and mortar seem like musts as long as we aren't fending off cosmic horrors or starving to death.
Slow, would it be possible to see what techs we've learned so far?
>>37419992
>>37419982
Welcome back everyone! Lets get started.
Your Hunters make impressive time over the snowdrifts and slick ice. Breath puffing into massive clouds of steam over their heads.
The handles of spent axes lay flat across their backs and the small baskets given by the Homunculi supply a small boost, their contents quickly consumes.
Their first night camping one of your Giants swears they heard howling on the wind. The others calm him, surely nothing but wind in the mountains.
>>37420172
Ah yes the oddly named one nobody remembers the name of but we all remember how its surviving by the skin of its teeth and we only win because we go to A-TEAM levels of over the top planning.
And my god do we need them. I still can't belive those chucklefucks tried to arrow that moss king/raw head and got a siege on us. we barely survived it honestly.
>>37420133
I asked about the coils yesterday they wont do anything by the time the giants get back. Also the techs are in the pastebin in the second post.
>>37420236
What I'm reading from for all these research options. sucks about the coils though. Those are nice little glow sticks.
>>37420213
Your Hunters look to Jyoti for leadership, they are still several days hard march from home and must survive in the Long Dark. The wind is starting to settle again, after 8 hours rest your Hunters rise again.
>Press the march
>Slow the march
>Hunt
>Other
>>37420292
Press the march
>>37420292
Press the march. If we need food hunt. But for the love of god if it starts to snow STOP MOVING.
>>37420265
My bad... Proved I can't read. Yesterday OP said he didn't have a list of unlockables. BUT NOW HE DOES!
>>37420211
Techs Currently know: Carpentry, basic masonry, Crude Herbalism, Animal Husbandry, Tailoring, Crude smithing, Crude trap making, Ice Quartz Mining, Crude Ice Quartz Weapons.
I accidentally deleted out techs know. So ill have to put them together again, no worries.
>>37420292
For now, press the march, the sooner we get out of the Long Dark, the better.
>>37420325
Thanks!
Guys. Can we learn food preservation. I mean it's winter... That might help us not have to kill all the mammoths.
>>37420317
>>37420303
>>37420347
The biting cold shouldnt slow your giants too horribly. Shaking the sleep from their limbs your Hunters set out.
After hours of marching one of your Hunters claims he saw something running about in the darkness. None of your other hunters saw,claiming that the Long Dark plays tricks on the eyes. During one of their short breaks the same Hunter says he still saw something again, darting from one rock to another.
>Investigate
>Ignore and march on
>Double the march
>Lights out

>>37420360
I don't see it as quite as important as food generation since anything that goes bad we should be able to Reanimate Flesh back to use.
>>37420408
Shit theres something hunting us. scavenger or a predator I don't know though.
Try and confront it somehow?
>>37420408
Keep going!
>>37420425
For all we know it could be rotting flesh we can't eat. The spell itself seems to imply they're zombie like.
>>37420408
Double the march
>>37420408
If there's anything I've learned, it's always be paranoid. Investigate, but make sure there are always at least two or more giants together at a time.
>>37420459
All that does is wear the group down and then its too tired to fight this thing!
>>37420469
Going with this. I'd rather deal with it now instead of later when we're too fucking tired and cold to fight it.
>>37420452

Side note, was the Mammoth Spear destroyed in the fight or is it still extant?
>>37420505
I>>37420588
Ill switch to investigate
>>37420505
Nevermind
>>37420489
Tie Broken, Investigate.
Your hunters follow where their brother pointed, spreading out into pairs and searching through the roughage with their torches.
Just when they are about to laugh it off one of your giants looks behind a small string of Hardwoods only to jump back in surprise at a horrible bark. Then, nothing. The Hunter claims something snapped towards his stomach before fleeing into the darkness.
After a short breather he says it stood to his hips, as long as a giant is tall with dark fur covering its body.

>>37420642
Double time
>>37420684
>>37420679
Your hunters gather closer together, marching at a steady pace over the crunching snow. Before long they begin to see more dark forms moving between high rocks and between hillsides.
Desperate for rest your giants have been marching for a dozen hours. Most are still willing to march on but your wounded giant says he can march no longer and requires rest.

>>37420876
You have your unwound-ed giants shoulder their wounded brother. None of your Hunters are too keen on leaving one of their number behind.
After several more hours of hard marching your giants begin to tire, your march slows as your kin sometimes carry the wounded. Your rearguard warns the rest of your hunters that the hunters are moving closer. Soon a horrible, sharp laughter fills the darkness all around your hunter.

I'm still trying to figure out why we thought running from something that easily paces and tracks us was a good idea. Should of fought the damn things and been done with it. instead its worn the group out and is likely to attack us soon with us on a disadvantage.
>>37421030
>>37421064
>>37421091
Jyoti orders a rest, your hunters move beside a small hill to shelter themselves from the biting wind. Unfortunately lighting a fire is impossible, the ground covered with ice. Two of your kin stay awake while the others lay to rest, the pale white light of their torches struggling to hold back the darkness.
The laughter never stops. Your Hunters rest poorly, haunted by loud cackling.
After several hours rest your sentries roar, one of the shadowed figures darts from the edge of their lights.
A massive wolf. Its wide mouth snarling, huge teeth flash in the light of your torches. Without warning it leaps towards your Giants, jaws agape.
Due to either poor footing or lack of rest your giant is laid flat against the frozen earth. Your other guard swings full bodied at the brown furred hound, retching her back when the beast leaps to the side.
Your downed hunter rises to a crouch, part of his face a red mask of torn flesh. Before he can move to strike, the wolf runs back into the darkness.

>>37421387

>>37421365
>>37421351
Your Hunters stand shoulder to shoulder, forming a circle of furs and powerful clubs.
Your giant with the ruined face pulls some of his furs over exposed muscle and his hanging eye, standing with his brothers and sisters.
After hours of standing, eyes straining against the darkness... Nothing but the occasional large, dark form dashing towards your formation demanding every Giant stay fully alert and on edge.
The rolling laughter, echoing over frozen earth and drifting through frigid winds eats away at your Giants resolve. Hands are becoming numb from cold.

Agreed. that or some maniac is controlling them and he gives zero fucks about the chill.
We can't show anymore weakness they take it as a cue to attack.
>>37421575
Not asking for a map but if we don't have any sense of direction or where the cave is we are basically on a death march..
We should atleast have a sense of how much time left we should have until reaching the cave
>>37421515
March

>>37421550
>>37421534
>>37421548
>>37421577
Your giants try to march in formation, back to back. After several trips and a few missteps the idea is given up for marching shoulder to shoulder.
Another full shift of marching and a few of your giants see the Watch house in the distance. Not far now.
A warning shout sounds, followed by a yelp of pain. One of your Giants managed to score a single hit against their pursuers, unfortunately the strike was not fatal.

Possibly sensing our urgency, the pursuers grow even more bold. Your Hunters are constantly beset on all sides by dashing, snapping forms.

Your wounded giant winces, several of his stitches tearing after an unfortunate misstep.

Your Hunters press to protect their isolated sister. Before they manage even a dozen yards she crumples screaming, One of the beasts has her left leg deep in its mouth.
Your hunters rush forward to strike the beast but are cut off by several other snapping maws. Her cry cut short by a pair of slavering jaws. Blood sprays with her next breath.
Distracted by their fallen sibling your giants react just too slow to the huge form crashing into their backs. In an instant another hunters cries out in pain, huge jaws clasp firmly about his shoulder.
>>37422030
Your hunters react in a panic, clubs rising and falling on the dark form, bones break but teeth still hold firm. Only shattering its skull releases the terrible pressure.
Your Hunters flee from their fallen sister.
The pursuers relent, assumed too busy consuming their prey.

You have your miners take much longer breaks from digging away at the rocks. Cautioning them on the dangers of natural gasses. Even still they complain about powerful headaches and nausea. None of the Giants around the mine entrance notice any of these ill effects.

Daugh, you need to be the first one to suggest things with the rolls you get.

Your giants pray to these Gods, wishing to remember the warmth of their light. Only one of your kin is blessed, The Child. Her glowing aura lights the cave at your peoples prayers, despite her attempts to wrap herself in furs and conceal her glow. Probably from earlier ridicule.
