The Five Duck Friends - Zong
Updated 3 February 1999, Converted to html from original
Digest postings.
Friends of Zong
Both male and female can become friends of Zong.
Zong friends specialize in hunting traps, and use spears and slings
for weapons.
Most of the contact between Zong friends and trolls is made through
trollkin. Occasionally they will hunt together.
The preferred game that Zong friends hunt is insects (the smaller ones
not giant insects), small rodents and lizards. They don't hunt birds but
will recollect their eggs. They also don't hunt animals with a strong connection
to rivers like others.
They may learn the Peaceful Cut spell.
Lesser friendship
Lesser friends can learn the next spells one-use: Draw Beast, Sureshot,
Command Rodents, Command Insect Swarm.
They can apply for formal initiation if they fulfill the requirements.
If they don't do it, they will get normal attention from Zong worshipers
(meaning trolls), in other words: they're moving food.
Zong Trappers (Zong Best friends)
Zong Trappers can learn the same spells that lesser friends do, but they
are reusable.
Trolls respect them like initiates of the cult.
Friendship for Death
A shaman performs a FDF ritual and summons the ghost of Zong. The hunter
will either eat venomous insects or fight to death with giant insects.
