Making Beds

Camp of Moon-Stuffing Clan

The central camp of the Moon-Stuffing Tribe

Most of the yurts have dirt floors, which is sensible, since there's a lot of dirt to go around. Unfortunately, when you live in a permafrost zone, dirt floors are either really cold or really squishy. A layer of sod and hay keeps everything useable, but it's still better to keep your bed off the floor, which is why most of Moon-Stuffing sleeps on raised platforms, on pallets stuffed with dried grasses and hay.

Some members of the camp are turning out the old bedding and collecting new.

Camp of Moon-Stuffing Clan

You wake up a great deal earlier than you expected. It's barely daybreak, and there is a cheerful (and slightly off-key) song coming from the roof of your yurt.

Talk to the plushes in camp

Moon-Stuffing Clan is only a clan in the loosest sense, made from the stragglers of many tribes that have joined together in their flight from the Eaters-of-Plush. There are many different species represented here, from the fierce Teddy-bears formerly of Sun-Stitch Clan to small, fierce Hummingbirds from Jewelwing.

It gives you a reproachful look.

Not at this hour.

Shoo the songsnail away.

The songsnail slimes to the far side of your yurt and deliberately turns its shell on you. You feel a little guilty.

The next morning, however, it's at it again, imitating (in rapid succession) the call of the skylark, the turtledove, and the constipated mammoth.

At least it waited until after dawn this time.

When you ask which of her numerous children she wants this message taken to, she looks blank. "Any of them. It doesn't matter."

Making Beds

Most of the yurts have dirt floors, which is sensible, since there's a lot of dirt to go around. Unfortunately, when you live in a permafrost zone, dirt floors are either really cold or really squishy. A layer of sod and hay keeps everything useable, but it's still better to keep your bed off the floor, which is why most of Moon-Stuffing sleeps on raised platforms, on pallets stuffed with dried grasses and hay.

Some members of the camp are turning out the old bedding and collecting new.

The Midden

Camp of Moon-Stuffing Clan

You're still not entirely familiar with the layout of the camp, so it's probably not surprising that you take a wrong turn and wind up at the midden.

The trash heap is well away and downwind of Moon-Stuffing Camp, in a natural depression in the stone. It's dusted with lime to keep the smell down, but still attracts scavengers.

While the larger beasts, like pinstripe hyenas, won't come this close to habitation, it's home to vultures, kites, and large numbers of the fur-bearing polar lungfish.

The Teddy-bears

When Moon-Stuffing Clan fled north, they joined with the remnants of Sun-Stitch Clan, a tribe of fierce warrior Teddy-bears.

The Teddy-bears think well of themselves, particularly compared to gentle Moon-Stuffing, but they've noticed you around the campfire.

Eventually Rough Seams, the brother of the hunt-leader, strolls over and invites you to a friendly contest.

The Albino Raccoon falls in with you as you leave the midden after dropping off some trash.

He shares a yurt with the Patchwork Hyena. They may just be good friends, although the Tangerine Rabbit claims they're a couple. (Mind you, if you left the Tangerine Rabbit alone with a tree stump and a rock, she would be planning the lives of the Stump-Rock children within the hour.)

The Tangerine Rabbit needs someone to deliver a message to one of her offspring. "Tell them I need carrots," she says. "And grain. And a pot to cook them in. And somewere to do the cooking."

The Bread Oven

Camp of Moon-Stuffing Clan

The central camp of the Moon-Stuffing Tribe

At the base of the cliff dwelling, there are two large outdoor ovens built of clay.

They're kept running at a low level all the time. The chimneys heat several of the cliff rooms and the camp uses the ovens to warm up cold food or to cook things that require a long, slow heat.

The downside, of course, is that somebody has to check the fires regularly.

The Songsnail

Camp of Moon-Stuffing Clan

The central camp of the Moon-Stuffing Tribe

You wake up a great deal earlier than you expected. It's barely daybreak, and there is a cheerful (and slightly off-key) song coming from the roof of your yurt.

When you get up and trek outside, you discover a painted songsnail sitting on top of your yurt. It is singing like anything and waving its eyestalks around in time to its song.

Sometimes

Sometimes

Aww! You've got a songsnail!

That's wonderful! You're so lucky.

Not at this hour.

Shoo the songsnail away.


Your Yurt

The howling winds off the glacier don't penetrate the walls of your yurt. The fire is warm. You can roast stuffing over it and make a nice cup of tea and settle in, secure against the elements.

Always

Always

Feed the birds

There are small, finch-like birds that hop around outside your yurt. Maybe they'd like some grain...


Sometimes

Sometimes

Always

Always

To the cliffs!

You fear that your next encounter with the casserole may end with you so overstuffed that your stomach seams will be in dire peril...


You applaud the snail

Aww! You've got a songsnail!

That's wonderful! You're so lucky.

It seems to enjoy the attention. They're pretty good mimics, and you wake up the next morning to hear the songsnail imitating (in rapid succession) the call of the skylark, the turtledove, and the constipated mammoth.

You're still lucky, damnit.

Home is where the hearth is.


Cloak

Stuffed animals don't go in for a lot of clothing, but everybody needs a good cloak to keep the rain off.

To the cliffs!

You fear that your next encounter with the casserole may end with you so overstuffed that your stomach seams will be in dire peril. Remembering the words of the Albino Raccoon, you head for the cliff dwellings behind the yurt.

Sometimes

Sometimes

Scale the ladder up

She'll never follow you here. She needs at least one hand to hold the casserole!

Go up the cliff-face itself

A high-risk challenge

She <i>definitely</i> can't follow you there.

You escape barely in time.

The Cliff Dwellings

The cliff dwellings are home to most of the avian members of Moon-Stuffing Clan. While few winged plushes can actually fly (lift ratios and so forth) they usually feel more comfortable high up in the air.

The Carmine Raven pats you on the back as you arrive. "It's okay. For now."

The Carmine Raven helps pull you up. The casserole and its owner prowl around the foot of the ladder.

You're safe...but for how long?

You're making a run for it!

Making Beds

Camp of Moon-Stuffing Clan

The central camp of the Moon-Stuffing Tribe

Most of the yurts have dirt floors, which is sensible, since there's a lot of dirt to go around. Unfortunately, when you live in a permafrost zone, dirt floors are either really cold or really squishy. A layer of sod and hay keeps everything useable, but it's still better to keep your bed off the floor, which is why most of Moon-Stuffing sleeps on raised platforms, on pallets stuffed with dried grasses and hay.

Some members of the camp are turning out the old bedding and collecting new.

Sometimes

Sometimes

Offer to help

They're giving you a bed, the least you can do is help make it!


Cleverly constructed

The Belligerent Hummingbird

The Carmine Raven shows you around the cliff-dwellings. You haven't gone very far before the Belligerent Hummingbird is hovering in front of your head.

He's the smallest sentient plush you've ever seen, not much larger than your torso. His felted wings are a blur.

"You!" he says. "I remember you! You've been at the campfires lately!"

Investigate the Cliff-Dwellings

You've seen places like this before in your travels.

            1
            You need Wanderer 1 (you have 4)

            1
            Unlocked with Wanderer 1 - you have 4

This isn't the largest such structure you've seen, but it's not the smallest either.

An overhanging shelf on the cliff provides shelter from the elements. Inside, the dwellings are on several different levels, conforming to the natural contours of the stone.

The Belligerent Hummingbird, one of the few flighted members of the Clan, goes in and out of an opening in one of the stone walls.

You've gained 1 x Wanderer (new total 4).

Camp of Moon-Stuffing Clan

The central camp of the Moon-Stuffing Tribe

It looks safe enough down there. You can't see anything pink, anyway.

The Carmine Raven wishes you luck as you descend.

Explain about the casserole.

The Belligerent Hummingbird

The Carmine Raven shows you around the cliff-dwellings. You haven't gone very far before the Belligerent Hummingbird is hovering in front of your head.

He's the smallest sentient plush you've ever seen, not much larger than your torso. His felted wings are a blur.

"You!" he says. "I remember you! You've been at the campfires lately!"

Truth is best.

"Some foes are beyond any of us. The spirits go with you." He zips away.

The Carmine Raven explains that the Belligerent Hummingbird is responsible for defense in the Clan.

"The Teddy-bears of Sun-Stitch weren't inclined to take orders at first," the Raven says, "but when he organized a defense during a midnight raid, they learned to respect him pretty quick."

You're making a run for it!

Cornered!

Descend the ladder

Back Down The Ladder

Camp of Moon-Stuffing Clan

The central camp of the Moon-Stuffing Tribe

It looks safe enough down there. You can't see anything pink, anyway.

The Carmine Raven wishes you luck as you descend.

You get down the ladder, turn around and--there she is!

No escape this time. She's right there. She has the casserole. Her feelings will be hurt if you don't let her feed you.

You surrender to your fate.

It is delicious.

Afterwards you crawl home, whimpering slightly.

You have been cornered by the casserole. Accept your green-bean encrusted fate.
