Jutra

((I was reading somewhere and I wish I could find the exact wording - but something about passive mobs being "off" in the region? - would something like this be the reason we're losing all our animals. I'll go try and find that post again.))

Me going to re-locate da livestock pens dem am going to go beg Krug to gib us sum more animalz to put in da pens - da pens will be underground, accessed only with a 'atch door and da door will be locked wid mojo - ib all diz fails den it's not anyun but Krugs will dat we nub hab ani animalz.

Lat on't be saying dis hen you ailing in da middle ob battle and sumun brings out da cake! Orcs can not live on meatz alone - there needs to be some cookies or cake sumtimes! But Dabu I nub make any cake fur lat this passing.

Battle cake isn't fur filln lat 'ungry belly -its fur making lat feel 'hosh during agh after a battle - dat why iz called battle cake. Ib lat want 10 cakes - lat would neb to git me 10 eggs and a cow - neb both plus wheat and sugar to make dem - dey arn't sumting ya eat cause lat 'ungry. dat wut apples, melons and 'sroom soup id fur. Jutra'lur dietitian of da Orcs.

Lat dunno wut cake iz? Cum to da farm and ask Jutra if lat can try un.

((So far so good- looking forward to the rest.))

* you see a note stuck to the door of the city's farming hut. The writing on it very neat and legible. Pictures accompany it for those not able to read well. I, Jutra (one of da) head farmer of Krugmar - after reviewing our stores of fud tink it might be time ta tink about trading sum to udder nations. I tink since we got lotz and our orcs are more and more gibing me lots of meatz ta cook fer dam, we are in a hosh position of being able to trade fud fur odder tings we dun hab alot ob. Sumone who make trade deal wid udder nations maybe comment on dis. I tink wheat be da product we trade Wheat or bread - wuteber is beddder. We also got bub'hosh amounts of 'rooms and orcs dune eat alot of soup. If I cud put in an order as cook - I'd like coco beans - dem make great cookies agh eggs fur battle cakes, dat be 'hosh too.

Jutra go farm where she told to - Jutra would like a say in the next design pleez - da un I'm using was already designed when we got 'ere. I hab ideaz for much bigger and flatter farm wid animal pens under the ground da wheat and melons occupy. I hab bub'hosh ideaz for bub'hosh farm. I also hab idea on how to distribute fud in a fair and proper way. Pleez let Jutra know if dis will be possible. Rulgs.

Syrila - lat be bub'hosh wid da farm - most orc be bub'hosh about giving stuffs - problem iz - it's not enuf - day need - not want - day need more den we got to feed dem - I'm at da point where I make soup cuz it's sumting dat I can getz lotz da ingreddent fur in a short time and itz very filling fur da orcs - it juz takes up lots of bag space. Sumun keeps making bread wid what ever wheat I got in da chests - pleez no make bread - make cookies - des fill more and make an orc feel bedder den bread. Da farm needs lotz of coco beans to make de yummy cookies. I hab started making cakes for when dey orcs go on raids and battles. Nub take ib lat is jiz going 'unting pleez. I'm going to make underground pen (I'll need to git help frum bub'hosh digging orc) I want it to hab at least 4 or 5 blocks on da ceiling so dey stoopid animalz don't escape. Des are da tings I be doing to heb feed da Orcs.

Des be found under a note for our army reforms - me tink day shud be updated and made der own note so da pinkskins of da new lands gruk wut to expect when day cum vizit uz. Just my gruk - lat dun hab ta agree.

Did sumune tink dat we shud tink about putting some defense up around da city's farm? or at least a guard? Sum pinkskin cud cum in and once Jutra dead (wut you tink I'm gonna just run away - dem my responibility I die defending it! eben ib I only got a 'unting knife ta do it!)- dey lay siege to our farm and cripple our city. Maybe me ober dramtic or sumting I dunno but thought I'd put it out dere. Jutra'lur - defending of da fud!

Dis first light I wake up to quiet from da animal pen- nub animalz in it. If dey be escaping den we neb ta fix da penz so dey don't kept doing dis. I find out dere is another farm suppling da nation - dis was first time I hear about dis - why dey are separate from where da Wargoth put da city farm I dunno. Why I nub find tons of extra fud in the nations fud chest I dun understand edder. Jutra - da confused little orc.

((Umm why is there another nation's farm anywhere besides where the Head farmers are? Why haven't I seen massives amounts of food being put in the nations food chests from this other nations farm? And on a side not - I don't have a farm, I'm working on the City's farm. Seize it and I think you're goose would be cooked (but not by me!)))

Warnation is the term I use.

Rulgs all fur replying. Da seed sickness is still wid da melon seeds - da wheat while I now git more wheats per area 'arvested- still da seeds not be coming ebery time I 'arvest dem. Ib lat findz seeds pleez leeb dem at the farming 'ut. We hab more animalz. Dis make Jutra bub'hosh happy. When I went ta sleep early dis passing I had asked dat the pens be enlarged and the fences be switch fur glass to prevent dem stoopid animals from klomping dem selves. I also asked fur a locked door so dey cudn't git klomped by anyun else. Ib lat need fud or wool - pleez pleez pleez ask me or Ungoth so we can make sur we hab fud and wool fur all. I be wanting to make a list of orders for wool so I do dem in order ob who asked ash, den dub den gakh etc. Ib anyun 'as da blue rocks dat I can usz to make blue wool pleez gib me sum - it's used to make I tink h'ask different culrs of wool and da Wargoth blah to me he needs all culrz. I dun sell dis wool, dis wool for rebuilding da capital. Jutra bub'hosh happy dat she 'elp fed eberone - reminds Juntra of grand gatherings dat 'appened wen she waz growing up. Diz is wut Juntra lub ta do, cook and farm - lat can Klomp I'll cook wut lat Klomp*. Jutra *except halfling - Jutra nub cook halfings - dun ask her to do dis. Ask Pok...he dun mind cooking dem.

You could work on that curiosity - take it a step further and have him ask around the capital about it. If others know how to use it - ask if he could watch at first - then see if the other would allow him to mix one up etc - work up to being able to being an alchemist if this is what you think your char might want to get into. It would make a great RP if you went about this way.

Think of this IRL - if an entire population of any countydecided to move (for what ever reason)to a near non populated area of land that wasn't contested - which currency do you think they would use? Remember the entire group is moving - no one is staying to run the old populated country, there would be no confusion as to which country the currency belonged to. We brought our own money with us on the trip over from the old world - it should stay minas - it would be diffeent if we were trying to co-habit with the "natives" and we decided (as antire group) to change our currency. Since the rule is usually "majority rules" or "might makes right" - the group with the most population would "win" this battle (us vs the "natives" of our new land) It would stay Minas since we already have them! ..just saying - think IRL terms and this makes sence.

((Thing number 4 - Craotor is always right - he told me this one himself. ...just saying!))

((I like that the high ranked first have to judge if the promotion was deserved or not. I like that the challenger might have a chance at the challenged rank only if the challenged one acts dishonourable. This will prevent the lower ranks form abusing this system while ensuring that everyone knows when an orc is promoted they honestly deserve their rank. I think this was very well thought out.))

Your stories are the main reason I decided to join this server and become an orc. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

I been trying to keep da war nation fed wid what has been giben me. Lat orcs are bub'hosh generous wid seeds, meatz agh doing stuffz ‘round da City farm. I hab a few tings to blah about agh maybe lat hab bedder ideaz ‘bout dem den me. Dis why I blah ta lat. Currently da city farm can produce da following: • Melons • Pumpkins • Wheat • Meatz • Fish • Mushroom soup (new dis first light, dis passing) I tink we neb some rulz fur gibing out fud. Dis means fud dat an orc ask for, not da fud dey gib me ta cook fur dem. It’s da handout amount I dun gruk wut shud be. Wut iz lat opinions on how much and of each ting I shud gib out? Feeding dis many orcs is a challenge – dis is the challenges I face currently. Maybe lat gruk some stuff I dun to make providing fud easier/better/more productive. Many orcs might not gruk dat da melon agh wheat seed sickness from the old land followed us here. We only git 1 slice of melon per melon agh hardly any seeds from da wheat. Dis made growing des fuds very time consuming for what we got out of growing dem. At first light, this passing, I received a note via a hawk, it said dat some new mojo in da air now fix da sickness so hopefully dis makes farming a more productive activity. We had many animals in pens as of last light, last passing. First light, dis passing agh dey were all gone. I nub sure ib dey were klomped or dey died on der own. I think Bog is making a better agh bigger pen for us to try again. I’m worried dat we are neber going to hab enough meat from breeding our own livestock to make this activity worthwhile. I ben trying to figure out a way to make dis possible agh I dun gruk it’s going to work – Klomping animals after dey have grown doesn’t guarantee lat will git meatz from dem. Sum have meatz sum don’t. I dun tink for the time agh wuk inbolbed in razing animals shows up in the amount of meatz it gibs lat. It duz gib us sum meat but I tink only da cows be worthwhile to keep. I tink da leather agh ale/milk will be the main reason to keep dem. . Pigs agh chicken while gud to eat agh chickens do gib feathers but dey along wid da cows, take long time to breed/grow agh again nub guarantee each will gib meatz. Da sheep be only useful for wool. Ib lat has ideaz or suggestions abut dis I be listening to lat. Sumun gruk, ib dis is tru? In order to git da exta meatz from da raw meat lat gib me ta cook, I hab to stand next to da ovens while lat fud cooks. I hab gruk all dere iz ta gruk about cooking, I be blahing about the amount of meats I git frum doing dis. Dis reminds me – dis a small request. Cooking meatz requires fuel to burn. Dis can be wud, coal or charcoal. Id be bub’hosh ib lat wud supply dis when lat ask me to cook fud for lat. I rulgs lat in advance fur any agh all gruk on dis topic. Jutra

Ugroth be bub'hosh storytellr.

Jutra be da bub'hosh cook.

((ok just read your edit and it's fine with refuse - either work.))

(( I agree refuse would be too harsh a word for the circumstances - declined is the more appropriate word choice.)) Again good story.
