The Groh:
Spoiler: GrohYida and the priests will invest the 1 mana to place the Spirit of Stone into the Strange Statue and assign the Living Statue (? not sure what to call it) with the task of gathering stone from the quarry.
SpoilerWhile I'd rather put it to guard duty, my mental image of the Groh makes me think that they'd not trust it with that; after all, putting too much faith on the strength of spirits is what brought humanity into ruin before.
Spoiler: Ash TribeGrom Whitehands will leave to participate in the Ash Tribes contest, taking along a group of (1) Crafters, (1) Traders, and (1) Warriors for the contest. If the non-paragons cannot participate, then I guess they can help prop up the image of the Groh. Grom will expend 1 mana to help with this action.
Spoiler: Leofell IslandFive villagers will work on establishing an Outpost here to help with local defense and resource collection.
