The outcasts of Fox peak.

[Arctic_fox]

So i posted this elsewhere but i decided i'm going to make a story out of it for you all and see what you think, i'm following the rules for the mega RP (you guys should join its actully pretty fun, Here is the rule set https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YMZkkgFhqUavht54wuFj-ufTzAckghhA9ho2IMBomrM/edit i am using.


Meet the members of Fox peak (so named because i spawned ontop of 5 wild foxes) they started with nothing and are out to make a name for them selves and get revenge on the ones who cast them out.


Meet Gabella the shy but talented crafter, Always quiet but always ready with a warm smile or joke when one takes the time to talk to her, Also known for keeping several shivs in interesting places as some men can't seem to take no for an answer.


And this is Galga the ever curious, Quick witted and smart good with animals and people of all sorts, She also learned to read common from a missionary passing through her village as a child which only fueled her lust for the knowledge of old and lead to her combing through many old wrecks and buildings looking for anything she could find, She still buys books from passing traders with any silver she earns and using these has made many helpful discovery's for her tribe.


And now Val demands his mention, Having been the sole survivor when a maddened swap of rats fell upon his old tribe and killed all through disease and famine he was found and taken in by a larger tribe picking over the ruins of his home, Soon after determined to never let it happen again he learned all he could of plants and growing of medicine and of potions he also learned to read the words of old to make toxins and healing salves both and of manipulating the minds of others, Soon after a large raid where his evil concoctions killed the sky people preventing the loss of a single tribesmen he is haunted and refuses to ever lift a finger to harm again as it comes far too easily now, Soon he left his tribe in spite of their insistence that he saved them all and should be proud not sad and has now find a new band in desperate need of a jack of all trades and intends to use his skills to the best of his ability to preserve them, He also makes a mean human gumbo that makes him a favorite at any party.



Then we have Wolf, One of the most feared war chiefs in the region even by the much more advanced peoples using their thunder wands, As a boy he and his tribe were starving and freezing in the dead of winter when they found an old outpost long abandoned with massive holes and burns and blood covering all the buildings and several broken and scattered skeletons scattered around, The tribe though afraid broke into the old buildings in search of anything useful from pure desperation, What they found changed everything for them, They found a large mostly intact building and upon prying off the doors found food in strange metal jars, Food in stranger cloth packets, Moth eaten but warm winter clothing and strangest of all another large metal room lined with strange blue material none had ever seen before, As they pried the door off they found racks and racks of long strange tubes of various sizes and types and hundreds of crates of long thin brass tubes each crate larger then a muffalo, When one of the tribesmen picked up one of these tubes and pulled a strange protuberance a crack like thunder broke the silence and a huge hole appeared in the roof.

Realizing what these must be the tribe soon learned to operate and maintain them and trained the best of their children with them out of all of whome Wolf was by far the best, As he grew older he soon took the tribe by force and using the thunder sticks brought tribes one by one under his rule, As with all war lords though he was soon betrayed and ousted by one he trusted greedy for power, Stripped of all his weapons and left with only the clothing on his back he was thrust out, A few brave souls fiercely loyal to or more likely still terrified of him followed behind to help him found the tribe of Fox peak, He lives now only to kill anything that gets in his way and spends his days leading the people and honing his incredible strength and aim to a razors edge.



And last but not least is Purple, So named due to the color of his face when he sees the sun, Preferring darkness he has spent his entire life living in deep caves carving out stone and metal for his tribe, He is not much good at anything else but few if any can match his skill with a pick and fewer still can match the speed and skill he can build, Even in the light of day let alone in the dark.


What will Fate dictate for these lost souls? only time will tell.

(i wont have many pictures for the first little bit as i was trying to rush the tribe to midevil so i could be where my old save was before my HDD exploded and didn't think about it :/ sorry)

Soon after arriving on the peak of Fox mountain, So named due to the rather astounding number of them that tended to frequent the area Wolf looks around and nods he turning to the others and pointing out the trees telling them to gather what they could while he scouted out a place for his new tribe to build, After a few hours he find's a cleft in the mountain with two easily defensable paths in from one side and a large open area infront leading down the mountain with good soil and that could in time be reinforced, Wolf nodding his head walks to his friend Purple and asks his opinion, Purple surveys the area as the others bring what they have found and begin to pile it in a small cave and putting fallen branches infront of it to protect their food from the animals as best they can, Soon Purple returns and agrees with his chiefs opinion and they begin to plan huts and walls, All while the others watch still unsure how Purple can be at such ease around Wolf, The man they have seen destroy tribe after tribe.

Soon Wolf and purple give the orders to begin to clear rocks, And plants, Val, Gab, and Gal working side by side as in happier times to clear several areas for huts, Wolf wandering off with a club made of a broken branch hunting the local game while Purple builds a large campfire then using its heat hardens some wood for basic hand tools and using rocks breaks flint, and small bits of obsidian from the mountain into knives and chisels, All while softening some loose steel found near a rockface to work into crude hammers, Axe's, and picks.

Soon he has some crude but acceptable tools and hands out the axes to the other's While handing a small bow to Wolf who in a rare gesture smiles and nods while he hands Val a hare to clean and cook, The others unsure how he managed to crack its skull as they are fast and very hard to catch.

After many weeks they have a small but humble village and have been joined by a new member named Croio



Not the nicest person any have met but useful overall, Plus he got instantly on Wolfs good side by giving him an old battered and worn pistol with several boxes of ammo, This making Wolf's pleased enough to grant him a place with the tribe, Though also on his first day Gab had to stick him in the leg when he insulted her, A few days later Gabs sister Tona also tried to join but led by Gab the others decided that when Tona's first act upon arrival was to walk into the store room and smoke almost the entire supply of smokeleaf bought from a passing visitor and being saved for emergency's and remembering both the time she almost burned down the village when she got angry and set huts on fire and how bitchy and lazy she was, In addition to always demanding a giant room with pretty things and swiping medical supplies to get high with or going on fire starting sprees when she didn't get it, Compounded by the fact she was always calling her self a sheriff like out of a traders story book while using this as an excuse for refusing to do almost anything, They beat her over the head with a log, Then arrested her and then threw her out having neither the time, resources or the energy for a freeloader who tends to set things on fire at the drop of a hat and steals medical supplies just because she enjoys being stoned, She screaming she was going back to the old tribe and would get her revenge as she left.

After several month's a small group passes by



Though they don't have much to trade they have a few small packets of healroot that are still viable to plant, So the colony trades a good meal and some old clothing for a couple of packets which Val then plants knowing just how valuable these are to the tribe, While the visitors eat one of them complains about how he has several old books he has been trying to sell for years and is now reduced to using them to start fires, Galga upon hearing this perks up and asks to see them the visitor obliging and bringing them out to show her, Upon seeing the contents she gasps and trades her entire stash of silver for them and runs into her room to the bemusement of all involved locking the door behind her.

Soon after the visitors leave Wolf walks in to ask what the hell has gotten into her and she explains they are instruction manuals for things such as stone working, cooking, tool making, clothing, walls and even weapons of the exact type the one tribe wolf was unable to topple used he looking at her slack jawed in awe in a trembling voice he asks if she can replicate the designs and show his people how to make them to which she smiles and nods telling him yes she can but it will take time to read through the passages and to understand several new concepts then to teach them to the others, Wolf simply smiles and pats her on the back and tells her he is proud of her, This making her own jaw drop as praise from Wolf is even more rare then large herds of Thrumbos, It in fact the first time she has ever even heard of him giving a compliment even to his best friend Purple.



After a year has passed and the tribe has grown and is starting to prosper having survived the harsh winter thanks in no small part to Wolf's skill with a thunder stick and a lucky find when a pirate band attacked and was fought off but not before one of them dropped an old shotgun and a satchel of paper shells in the snow when he fled for his life, the huts have vanished and a small village has sprung up made from one large building to easier keep warm in the winter, even a fenced off field and barn with plans to expand even more.



During this time two new members have joined the band, One a wanderer from the old tribe the other captured during a raid, The first Gawen having talked his way into the camp when he showed that he was as skilled at mining and building as Purple who also took a liking to him, Gawen was also happy to work with the tribes animals as well as haul and clean



The second viper a woman that Wolf knew from a rival tribe was good at shooting and growing was soon coaxed into joining the tribe, Though wolf still disliked her after she managed to knock him out with a lucky blow with a club in a rather sensitive area.



Soon a bulk goods trader arrives from another tribe having some much needed supplies including a small sack of devilstrand spores.



The joy the colony felt at finally being able to grow a source of cloth and the anticipation of having new soft clothing and warm sheets prompted Val to walk upto Gabella and declare his love to which Gabella accepted with joy, Soon the new couple approached wolf and asked if he would give them his blessing and allow them to wed to which he gave his approval the wedding taking place a few days later.



Soon the colony grew to the point they began to have a surplus and build a cart to trade with others in the area hoping to get some of the many things they still needed to really prosper, They even managed to build some ballista at the 2 choke points like wolf wanted after a metal man blew the arm off of Purple with a cannon none had ever seen before.



For now our tale pauses what does the future hold for our slowly advancing tribe? Just wait and we will all find out together.

He also makes a mean human gumbo that makes him a favorite at any party.

Who was it that said the quotes about Rimworld are one of the best parts?
