Alright, let's try a game

Alright, let's try a game.

Let's say you're the chieftan of a small, unknown tribe of people. You choose the ethnicity, and the location (as long as it's sensibly located).

Your level of technology is roughly equivalent to northern pagan tribes in the Early Roman Period. Around 60 BC. So you have basic metallurgy, thatched housing, yada yada.

One day, while attending to the duties of a chieftan, your sentry comes up to you with a dilemma.

>Chief, we have an urgent issue. Half of the village's women seem to have fallen ill overnight. They are bedridden, and covered in spots.

This is troubling, to say the least. The women of your village perform most domestic needs, and with half of them incapacitated, your people could very well starve.

You are between two inland rivers, near a coast. What do you do in this situation?

If you have any questions regarding the scenario, I will answer them.

Ethnicity: Aryan (muh nords).
Location:Norway.
I send half of my men to the coast to go fishing and hunt waterfowl, while my other half of men try to comfort and diagnose the situation with the women. (pt1)

Question: What type of spots are there? Are they filled with pus or are they like chicken pocks?

>Sire, they are pockmarks most foul. They ooze with the slightest touch, emanating a repugnant sanguine fluid!

(pt2) After my men have returned from the hunt with fish and one duck I get the men who were caring to the women to go cook the food while my men who came back from the hunt tend to the women.

Go to the next village over and take their women.

Abandon the women, form raiding party, kidnap neighbouring tribe's women.

(pt3) Although the fish was poorley cooked and the duck made one man ill, we keep all the sick women alive. The ill man goes off to his tent and 3/4s of men stay to watch the women. The other quarter go off to the woods to scavenge and find roots that may cure the illness.

Top kek, DD?

(pt4) After the men returned with the roots we tested them out on the oldest women, just in case she dies. After consuming the root the spots pop and she vomits everywhere. After diarrhea and vomit however, the toxins inside of her leave. We do this to all the women with only 2 casualties.
