@Zeroth is Shamar the scout, in the orc camp somewhere?


She is indeed! Feel free to use the following if needed for your post:

Shamar, the Head Hunter of the tribe, could be seen near a large, yurt-like dwelling on the far western side of the camp, in an area of flat, unshaded rock. Away from the hustle and bustle of most other orcs, it was unclear whether she settled here out of personal taste... or because the fumes from her animal pelts, stretched and tanning in the sun, were so strong. Even to an orc's nose, they were unpleasantly pungent. The finished product of her pelts could be seen in her home's construction, stitched together in a multitude of colors with fur still attached.

Five squares of hide, each differing in size, were stretched over racks in front of a partially covered, smoking fire and looked just about finished. One more piece was currently soaking in a large, fire-carved bowl made from a section of tree stump---the mixture stank of brine and animal viscera, and had thick, skimmy bits of oily fat floating on its surface. Two more hides, these quite fresh, were draped over a sawhorse made of logs and Shamar herself stood over them with a sharp stone, continually scraping muscle and fat from her trophies.

Near the entrance of her yurt was another wooden rack, this one taller off the ground, with several stone or clay basins beneath it. Here hung four fresh kills, likely collected from the female orc's traps earlier in the morning, even before the runts were allowed on their own hunts. Two jackalopes, an Elwet, and some strange, dog-sized creature that looked like a mix of a baby panda and raccoon, with a rotund body. The flesh of its belly drooped as it hung upside down, its blood draining into the basin, and the fatty flab was long enough it looked as if the creature had been wearing an apron.

@ReusableSword Did Agar cook what he ate over a fire built with gathered charcoal, or just raw?

Right but was he also starting a fire to cook the tatzelwurm, while waiting for the poison to leech out of the harpy, or did he just consume the wurm raw?

@Zeroth Carmina will most probably cook and eat goblin. Would that kill her? 😅

Nope! I mean, unless the corpse ends up badly poisoned, or had some disease, etc etc. But generally with proper prep an Orc can stomach just about any creature.

@Zeroth Hmm. I wonder what she'll get, if anything out of goblin meat + some whatever she gathered as seasoning.

It'll be reduced by one rank, since the church doesn't approve of Gay Bulges



Also I just realized that is hilarious and absolutely unplanned that our Kirei-expy has now become a Lansa (ga shinda).

@Zeroth How does one gain a new skill? Like, let's say I want to be able to put someone to sleep with my voice. Would it a be contanst try to get do that using my current skill OR would it be more in the terms of what I eat? Just want to be sure.

PS: Wow, you were fast with your reply!

Perhaps the monster is an old man yelling at his downstairs neighbors to stop all that racket? XD

To gain completely new Skills, Orcs can generally only Inherit certain abilities as they level up (as is the case with [Berserk] and [Dusk Vision]) or Ingest new Skills from what they eat as you've seen so far. There are, in rare instances, Skills that can be gained another way (Some of Bowbh the Blacksmith's Skills are an example of this). However, even an Adult Orc has a limit on the number of Skills they can obtain. In order to gain different Skills after they've reached that limit, they either have to Rank Up existing Skills in order to make them more versatile, or they have to Evolve. Evolution will either change the Orc's species/type, and thus their number of available skills, or it will cause Skill Fusion between certain "compatible" abilities and free up their Skill Slots.

Once you have a Skill, such as your Sing or any other Skill you'll gain in the future from Ingestion, using that Skill over and over again (or in new and interesting ways) will steadily progress it over time. For instance, Lazash has been pretty consistent with using Creature Analysis on everything she's come across, even creatures she's already analyzed, and as a result that Skill progressed to Rank II recently.

It should be noted that each Rank is more difficult to obtain, and that the same actions that increased a Rank previously will have a diminishing rate of returns. Think about it like training in Martial Arts. If you swing your sword the same way 1000 times, you'll definitely get good at performing that particular movement. But someone who only swung the sword 500 times, and then fought 10 matches where they actually had to use that technique in different situations, would probably have a much better understanding of their own improvements. Practice makes perfect, but experience makes the difference!

TL;DR, in order for you to put a target to sleep with a Skill, you could either try to Rank up Sing and see if that changes any of its status effects, or you could hunt monsters with similar abilities!

@Zeroth While this RP has had its fun and such so far, and is a cool concept, I have gotten to feeling a bit burnt out here as well. With that in mind I wated to say I am going to respectfully withdraw from this RP.
