I order the men cutting lumber to return to town in order to help defend against the beast if it show up.

I also loot the dead Spaniard for any information on where he was settled or for any equipment on his person. I then order him to be buried and given a proper funeral. I give him a Catholic mass knowing that most Spaniards were catholic.

On the dead man you find a map of the area south of you, but a large portion is blotched out by blood or simply incomplete, a knife, armor, and a blood-encrusted journal.

I keep the armor in my home, saying "We are not Spanish. But that does not mean others won't think we are if we have this."

I begin trying to decipher the journal, I ask around the village to see if anybody knows the language.

I search the map for anything significant.

You find a settler who reads Spanish. He flips to a random page and begins reading. "Yesterday we were attacked.We eventually chased them off, but they killed two of our people and stole our food. (this is dated the day after) We are now starving. We have been forced to leave. Something is following us. We can feel it. (today) I am all alone. It killed the others and wounded me. I'm dying. But I've seen another settlement. Maybe they can help me." The amp is mostly illegible, but you can see Rio, which is to the south of you, and Poss, which is approximately where you are.

"Must be a tough yoke that one... I doubt we could have helped..." I mutter to myself.

I tell my population that the natives are to be treated with respect and not killed. (Or do I even know about the natives?)

(How long will the farm take?)

You know there are natives, just not where. It will be ready at midnight.

"Ah, you mean a gun. It's a fair trade and I have an extra one with me if you want me to show you right now." I say with a smile and for once I'm glad that I followed my instincts and brought two riffles with me.

"Alright then, show me to an area where we can practice and not accidentally shoot someone." I say with a smile before handing over a riffle that has no ammo.

I order the construction of a native camp and send five men to do it. I order five men to work on the farm and the last five are still fishing.
