Update 6
The Tribe is now known as Marchalan. It is late-summer.
Ytrini Mpele did something interesting. Using stones, he ended up making a stone "knife". Fas Baker also made headway on his bow and arrow, upgrading it to shoot a bit farther and with "more authority" (stopping power) and he himself is making more and training with them. Chief Real chastised him when he tried to start trading bows for meat saying that "Marchalan Warriors don't do that".
Aiken Drumn drummed up support for staying in spot for the winter which, while irking the established mindset of the Traditionalists, is growing popular with the people. However, the food situation is slowly becoming strained as the domestic stock of pigs grow because the pigs require food themselves and few eat meat. Jason Wayne tried taming the horses which, as you probably would guess, was bloody difficult but he somehow managed. The problem was trying to ride them. While fast, individual horses don't seem to be able to deal with the weight of anything but a slightly-below average weighted human. Making stirrups for them was a nonfactor.
Chuck Norris spent most of his time dealing with the marriage but helped everybody a little bit with the weapons in in Fas Baker's case, had a case of dumbluck which allowed the Baker Bow to be deadlier. Jimmy James helped out as well.
Jimmy James married a few women of "lower standing" which caused a stir with the higher-ranking Marchalan members.
John Marchman returned and threw himself into the "training fray" with Aiken and Jason and all three of them are shaping up to be grand fighters. Aiken ended up being the master of melee. Jason a master with a spear and John the best with the javelin.
Meanwhile, Mr. Red has gone into hiding along with the lower-standing Tribe members who sided with him.
