The position of the 5 tribes had some effects on the populations. A Player had a quest to come and look at the water from the 5 wells. It reminded me of that one female human Player that stole a brown Ynnub after checking the original 3 wells that were up at the time. Once they had finished collecting the samples, this male Player took one of the adolescent black female Ynnubs with him. I saw the male and female Players come back to take a villager from the white tribe. I went to intercept them and figure out what they were doing. When I saw them up close it was an Orcam female and a male Tac. They told me that they were working for a Livod in a large town far away. "It sent us here to find out what is going on with the water here. First he wanted water, now he wants the Ynnubs that live here." the female said. I asked what they were able to figure out. The water had traces of ichor in it. The tribe with the least was the brown tribe. The next was the black tribe and the whites had the most. The brown Ynnub was barely better than a regular one. If anything, they were more horny.
Under the careful dissection of the Livods, they determined that the black Ynnub's brain had better self control and capacity for reasoning. I assumed that the stats of the white tribe would be even better based on their behavior in their village. If I were to take a guess, it was probably due to the mana pool at the bottom of the tower. Their ichor and my mana might just be one and the same. If that was the case, it was possible that it was bleeding from the pool into the ground water and then being picked up by the wells of the tribes. I told them what I thought and they nodded. "We still need a white one for the quest." the Tac said. I let them take one of the farmers and they left. It was good information to know. It also meant that the red and yellow tribes would be even more adept. Maybe they would be able to use magic in the future. If a mage Ynnub started blasting people with powerful spells, it would be pretty funny to me. There would need to be a way for them to learn and get their hands on spell books. I was not giving them any as that would be way too far. We did not need it yet.
Incidentally, I was walking around the village of the white tribe at the right time to be there and stop a crisis. Several young Ekans slithered over to the village. There were a total 5 of them. If all of them came into the village, the disruption could be really catastrophic. Even if they were young, they were still pretty strong. They all had dark green and white shiny scales. I saw them come in force, hissing and playfully shoving each other. I stood in front of them and asked what they were doing. It made them stop and gave them pause. They looked at me and sized me up. "Are you the Sage of this area, feather human?" one of them asked. I nodded and they all hissed at me, making me flinch. It was a rough response. Some were angry and others were nervous. Of the 5, 3 were males. "Our mother has told us to bring some of the Ynnub here for her to eat." one of them said. I told them "I know that your mother wants revenge, but she can't have it. You won't pass me so you might as well go back." That was a firm line. They were not going to take no for an answer. One of them streaked at me.
Very quickly, I was wrapped up in the Ekans's coils. "I've caught you now. You may be a Sage, but you are just a human with some feathers. You probably don't have that much ichor." he said. He tried to squeeze me with his tail muscles, but it did nothing. He was shocked and his siblings yelled at him and told him to squeeze tighter. The startled Ekans tried his best but it was not working. "How is this even possible!? Your puny body should have been fully destroyed by now! You're a human with feathers." he hissed angrily between panting with exhaustion. I rolled my eyes and just shimmied my way out of his coils. All of the others gasped in astonishment as the Ekans that held me collapsed. Another one tried to charge me. I caught him by the neck and placed a palm against his stomach. "If you don't run right now, I'm going to kill your whole family with magic. Will you leave?" I said before letting go of his thin throat. He tried a bite, but I just sent a massive spike of ice through his body. He died instantly from the damage. That shocked the rest of them. Another came to me to get revenge.
