Dialogue[]
“ | Dreadful raiders with human torsos and giant scorpion bodies terrify your shepherds, carrying off several sheep. <Ring member> identifies these as scorpion folk, Chaotic monsters dedicated to slaughter and pillage. They worship Bagog, goddess of ravenous fecundity. "There are never only three of them," <he/she> says. If we don't do something about them, they'll be back"

On repeat events, the description simply says: "The scorpion folk came back to take more sheep."
Consequences[]
At the start of the event, you lose a few Herds.
If you successfully send a war party after them, you'll manage to slay them and only a few of your warriors will fall ill to their stings. If scorpion men killed King Vinglanth in this game, your ancestors will grant you a small gift of Magic.
If you warn other clans, then they might find and destroy the raiding party.
If you perform a rite to Storm Bull, you must first choose how much to sacrifice to its success. Success means that your people will see a vision of Urox smashing the Scorpion Queen. The Scorpion Folk will not bother you for a while, and other Chaos creatures will be less incentivized to come to your lands also. Mood also improves.
Notes[]
This event can be compared to the Scorpion Folk Steal Goats one from Ride Like the Wind.
