A) Improve Food


[hider=WHEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU BOYS]
"And I says to him, 'WHEAT! MEN CANNOT SURVIVE ON BREAD AND WATER ALONE!' and he says..."

"Yes, thanks Elder Rye, we...we just went over that; And we don't [i]just[/i] have bread, we got a fair bit of veggies and frui-"

"LET THEM EAT CAKE!" Elder Rye shouted to the heavens. The other elders where sure poor rye had finally hit the deep end. Also what in the spirit's name was a cake? The lucid Elders feared that the 2nd Small Council would be a wasted effort when Elder Lime came screaming into the room.

"DANGER! DANGER! HORRIBLE HORNED BEASTS! THEY ARE RAMPAGING ABOUT THE TOWN. THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN, THEY- THEY-" A pair of hands clamped down on his shoulders and shook vigorously.

"CALM DOWN. CALM DOWN." A slap came across Lime's face. "Now, what exactly is happening."

Still panicked but less now, Lime managed to rasp out "It-it'd be better if you saw for yourself..."

He led to procession out and what they saw was truly horrific! A group of 3 beasts were tromping upon Lime's vegetable garden and the women and children...they...they were petting them. 

"WHAT HORRORS! MY CABBAGES! LIME'S WIFE AND GRANDCHILD FORCED TO SUBMIT TO THEM! AND HARK, IN THE HORIZON SCOUTS REPORT MORE! SOME LARGER THAN THESE, WITH GRAYER HAIRS! SOME SPORTING GROTESQUE MOCKERIES OF OUR WOMEN'S TEETS! AND YET SOME OTHERS ARE WALKING SPEAR CARTS!"

Elder Rye looked around and pointed to a nearby teen that was on the cusp of the beasts' psychic influences, tempting him closer, to touch it "YOU BOY, TAKE SOME OF THE OTHERS! ATTEMPT TO APPEASE THESE CREATURES. SHOW THEM SOME WHEAT, (yeh they'd like that)." He grew calmer as an idea struck him, 

"Yes, gain their trust, bring them in, lull them into a false sense of security. Take their children, indoctrinate them to see us as friends...and soon... masters. In a some time we might dine on them like they dine on our cabbages!"

The teen looked to the elder, a look of worry, 'surely he knew his death would come soon' Rye thought, 'but this was for the greater good. Sacrifices must be made.'

"(Geez, Elder, they don't seem too bad. They're like cats...but tall. Catt-tal. Cattle. Hmm?)"
