Fuck yes you are the best quest ever

>>16800680
Damn straight.

oh fuck the hell yes

GAME TIME

Are you still hurt, oh salamander. Blorp if your all right.

>>16800623
BUT FIRST:
Last thread, some people very kindly pointed out to me that people who are equipped with heavy metal armor generally not have pockets, and therefore would have a VERY hard time reaching into a non-existent pocket and, with thick metal gauntlets, pull out a small crystal.

... somewhere, somehow, the auditors of reality are being bribed with shiny things to make them forget about this horrible breach of sense.

>BONUS!
ROLL 1d40 to decide between:
1) Auto-successful upgrade to Bearex
2) Bonus to the next time we do a MYSTERIOUS TIME STREAM (+1 Unnatural Power, +2 Body Part Improvements)
3) Boost one NPC's abilities (Aazz (Wraith), Razz (Leafdancer), Seventeen (Blacksmith/Tinkerer))
4) Sunfang Army Breakthrough (Spearmen Upgrade)

rolled 7 = 7

You know, I've been thinking about the whole "god" thing, and I've come to the conclusion that..isn't it belief that makes a god, a god? I mean, it doesn't matter how powerful you are, you remain but a man until people believe in you.

What I'm trying to say is, to the sunfang, we are a god, and doesn't that belief make it true?

I want to get into this but I know almost nothing about it!

By the star deities, EVO quest when I am ready to punch and bite these people in the bank because one mildly polite SMS from the main office while I have 10 workers to pay who'd probably won't care about polite.

rolled 28 = 28

>>16800723
Army Breakthrough

rolled 28 = 28

>>16800723
MYSTERIOUS TIME STREAM bonus. Lizardmen are expendable.

rolled 6 = 6

>>16800723
17 upgrade. benefits everyone.

>>16800723
Let's boost Seventeen's powers, we haven't gotten to use him yet

rolled 7 = 7

Army breakthrough. Now that we're not a god, we'll need backup.

rolled 14 = 14

>>16800751
Forgot my roll

>>16800728
Yes, but we DID make that bargain to save our asses last time. And if we break that, well.

It's difficult to start successfully harnessing that belief and ascend to divinity when other, bigger gods are lancing cosmic lightning bolts through your head.

rolled 25 = 25

>>16800750
I also vote for 17

>>16800739
THEN YOU HAD BETTER START READING UP ON IT

-- seriously, though, don't worry! I'll post stats after we decide which bonus to get; if you can roll a dice, you can definitely still participate.

... also, yes, this is OP, and I just remembered that I was planning to change my name.

rolled 5 = 5

>>16800723
We need to upgrade Bearex.
Our last mistake was fighting outside the damn thing, and because of that a Shark Elf almost killed us...
But actually, thinking about it, we can biomancy a good pilot seat inside him.
BONUS FOR MYSTERIOUS TIME STREAM!

Boost 17

rolled 7 = 7

>>16800723

Mysterious Time Stream bonus. Enhancing our strength is the most important way we can serve the star-gods.

rolled 19 = 19

>>16800760
What I'm trying to say is we can join them among the stars. It's not the man; it's the followers.
If they truly believe us to be a god, accept us as their god..doesn't that make it true?

rolled 27 = 27

>>16800802
Look at that face. How could we not improve him.

rolled 19 = 19

Toss-up between Razz and Seventeen,
Tech/magic not tied to our powers, though I lean to Razz cause he'd be more loyal.

rolled 34 = 34

>>16800821
mistyped teh dice

>No rolls over 30.
Our desire for greatness has angered our benefactors.

rolled 21 = 21

>>16800832

I don't believe that. Gods are simply what people call super powerful beings. It's not the followers that make the god powerful, it's that the stronger the god the more followers it attracts.

rolled 23 = 23

Spearmen Upgrade

>>16800851
>>16800821
It looks like we're boosting 17! I'll apply the bonus later, with a huge >BONUS tag to let you guys know.

BUT FIRST: STATS!

>>16800862
Gods by dictionary definition are one or more of the following:
Creator of the Universe
Ruler of the Universe
A supreme being of a particular attribute (A god of Basketball for example), with no equal.

We did not create the world, nor do we rule it. We are not peerless, we have come very close to losing before. Therefore, we are not a god.

That isn't to say we can't earn the title, though.

rolled 24 = 24

>>16800853
Poppycock. If we are to face a false god we must become stronger ourselves.

rolled 30 = 30

OP, can I get a new bonus not listed?

Can we get some sort of magical weapon or armor that fell from the sky as a sign of the ancients favour?

rolled 32 = 32

>>16800925
>>16800925

(continued)

Plot-wise -twists and unwritten narration aside- there are self-proclaimed or widely-acclaimed gods like Blorp and that god the woodfolk nobles keep mentioning. But then one anon rolled a nat 40 when proclaiming a prayer to the ancient star deities...

And EVO/Blorp ran with it, even added that tidbit of a son/daughter asking his/her father not to worry about a journey/undertaking that he/she is going to take...

Half-arsed prediction, this world is the child of Gaia and the EVO protagonist... And now it's helping us because that nat 40 prayer reached it. Or something similar.

rolled 22 = 22

>>16800909

And whose criteria are those? Certainly not mine nor most ancient cultures in human history. A god does not have to follow or do any of those things to be considered a "god" by a culture. The only real thing that groups all the various meanings for what a "god" is, is the fact that they're usually powerful or super-human. Thus ruling out the possibility that the god became a god as a result of getting followers, followers who would not be worshiping the god in the first place if he was not a god.

>>16800991

that theme songs gay.

>>16801036
Those are the criteria of the Random House Dictionary © 2011.

Maybe you'd prefer the Collin's English Dictionary:

A supernatural being who is worshipped as the controller of some part of the universe or some aspect of life in the world, or is the personification of some force.

How'd the remaining Prince Slick's woodfolk slaves/meatshields fare? Had they decided to throw their lot with the Sunfangs?

Also, how good is the set of eight spiral green eyes? Just base eyes but multidirectional and with intimidating factor?

>>16801076

Those are the monotheistic religion's definition of god . As i'm sure I already stated, there are many other cultures that have many other definitions for what a god is. The only thing linking those various criteria together is the fact most, if not all, are powerful supernatural beings, or things perceived to be powerful.

>>16800986
Only a few hours have passed since the end of your battle with King Selac; your entire tribe is still licking its wounds. You're still pretty damn beat up, thanks to your near-loss against King Selac, so your Bearex is carrying you around in its half-open T-Rex skull mouth.

You walk away from the makeshift medical camp, having just finished healing as many as you could before your Titanium Webs of Life ran out of juice (most of the sunfangs didn't really mind getting healed by the essence of life coming out of your ass, but you will never NOT feel weird about it)...

... and Razz, your Godspoken, flags you down real fast. "My lord! We just finished fuckin' getting our scouts back, and HOLY SHIT THAT'S A BLUE CRYSTAL."

You blink at the little blue crystal that you'd kept clasped between your front paws (wow, you were REALLY out of it after that fight, to have forgotten to eat this thing). And then you blink at Razz, who had jumped back about twenty feet and behind a tree.

>BLORP?

"S... sorry, my lord. It's just- those fuckin' things are real powerful," he says, slightly embarrassed. "So they're... you know. Really, REALLY bad news to those who get their shit wreaked by crystals in general."

He pauses. "So, um, can you eat that scary fucking thing first? I can wait."

You shrug.

>MYSTERIOUS TIME STREAM EVOLVES YOU!
ROLL 1d40! Choose:
- 4 upgrades to 1 existing Unnatural Power
OR
- 2 upgrades to 2 existing Unnatural Powers

Turn iron collars into spear-tips. We'd fare better against woodfolks since it was mentioned that the woodfolk dislike iron, right?

At any rate, what kind of metal did the King and the swordelves use for their weapons and armors?

rolled 23 = 23

>>16801115
4 upgrades to necromancy

rolled 10 = 10

>>16801115

Biomancy: +4

Biomancy is the best way we can serve the ancients in our role as guardian of the earth.

rolled 34 = 34

>>16801115
2 upgrades to both necromancy and biomancy. They've both been really useful so far.

rolled 40 = 40

>>16801115
Oh, hell yes. Lets bump up Biomancy and calming aura.

rolled 12 = 12

>>16801098
and worship and we are clearly supernatural and the Sunfang do worship us so by that definition we are a god a minor on but still. Also in the realm of being a life/death god we know of none who tops us so there is that.

But we maid an oath so i say we just claim to be the "avatar" of the true gods meaning according to us we are part of the true gods but not the whole

rolled 18 = 18

Necro and Bio

rolled 34 = 34

>>16801115
+2 to Biomancy and Necromancy, obviously. Our other crazy powers, dormant or active, can wait for now; mastery over life and death, it seems, is our thematic thang.

>>16801151
Oh shit, do we get a bonus for that?

rolled 37 = 37

>>16801151
Well, I think Necromancy would have been a better fit, but alright then, Biomancy takes the lead.

rolled 20 = 20

>>16801115
+4 to necromancy, let's make Bearex even more fuckhuge

rolled 18 = 18

Biomancy and teleport

>>16801083
Re: Woodfolk: They hung back during the battle; no one thought to equip them with any weapons.
... and we also scared the shit out of them with the femur incident, so they're kind of on the fence right now.

Re: Eyes: The latter.

>>16801117
The woodfolk use bronze in their weapons.

Make of that what you will.

rolled 26 = 26

>>16801151
>nat 40 crit on the very first check of the thread.

Huh, nat 40.
Well, Calming Aura is more of pacifist/tyrant path, depending on usage. Put on, drop minions, kill/defeat villain, decide fate of minions.

Would Biomancy improve the webs of life and shapeshift by synergy?

rolled 32 = 32

>>16801211
Biomancy gave us webs of life so i assume that gets better
and hears hoping it has synergy wit shape shift

>>16801195
Reiterate to the slaves that we'd welcome those who come with open arms, and eat the rest. They are welcome to pick woodfolk gears that survive the femur crunch (why'd we ever do that, oh, right, high roll).

Someone roll the diplomacy, I always roll pessimisticly, and I think the dice knows.

Start repairing damaged area with improved Biomancy, though healing our wounded comes first. That is, if we have the stamina left.

rolled 25 = 25

Fuck man, we need more offense. I say we get 4 points in a new power, A Energy ball of pure burning plasma that we fire at shit with our hands(like a energy blast)

rolled 6 = 6

>>16801297
rollin for diplomacy

rolled 28 = 28

>>16801195

Use our new and improved aura to assuage there fears.

>>16801297
sloooooooow dooooooooooown

I haven't even gotten to the results of the LAST roll!

rolled 8 = 8

>>16801323
FUCK YOU! I'll kick you in the face with my ENERGY LEGS!

rolled 4 = 4

>>16801297
No, no, we don't eat everyone who isn't joining us. We eat everyone who stands against us, because fuck them we're taking this forest back. And the Woodfolk aren't the problem, it's, from what little we know, the horrible oligarchical asshole dynasty of Crystal-blessed Woodfolk. We're liberating the Woodfolk, blorp damn it. If you want to join us? Great! Let's bring peace and prosperity and all that good stuff. Don't want to join us? Stay out of our way, cockbite.

Rollan to diplomance the woodfolk into believing in us who believes in them and joining us in our cause to help liberate the forest from all tyrants. And that, perhaps, when fighting monsters, we must all remember not to become them, yes?

rolled 26 = 26

>>16801348
I change my vote to this

>>16801151
>HOLY FUCKING 40
Biomancy +2 (40 BONUS: +1) --> Lvl. 5
> Your Webs of Life now grant healing over time... and you can use them as ranged focal points for your Biomancy.
> You can now spit little babby parasitical mouth-hooks.
Calming Aura +2 (40 BONUS: +1) --> Lvl. 5
> LOVE AND PEACE! LOVE AND PEACE!

When the metaphysical dust clears, you... holy shit, you feel like you just ate a dozen magical leylines. For BREAKFAST. Except healthier and with less of a tendency to rupture the fabric of reality and call in fifty trillion hyperdimensional monsters from beyond time and space.

Whatever just happened, you think you can end war, spread peace, and shit enough life to revive a long-dead planet.

Razz breathes an audible sigh of relief. "Oh, fan-fucking-tastic! My lord... I just wanted to let you know that-"

He starts counting off on his fingers. "First, we got 8 new recruits wandering in from the surrounding forests, and second, the scavengers have just given me their report!"

>BLORP?

"... huh? Sorry, my lord, you'll have to bite my neck to HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE HELL AAAAAGH--" he shrieks as you spit a mini-parasite into his neck, causing him to stagger and fall, flailing like someone being strangled.

>BLORP.

"... oh... oh, yes, I can hear you now." Razz picks himself up off the ground, staring at the little... thing lodged in his neck. "Um. If you have time, my lord, they want you to go over to the meteor. Seems pretty goddamn important."

You think for a second, tilting your head... and figure that you can take care of two things first before heading over.

>COMMAND?
(CHOOSE TWO TASKS, aside from "going to the meteor.")

rolled 7 = 7

Talk to 17

rolled 1 = 1

>>16801387
Heal the wounded with our LIFE WEBS,

rolled 6 = 6

Talk to 17
and heal more minions(i assume the cristal alows us some more heal juice)

rolled 2 = 2

>>16801387

Fabricate Life-Web armor for our soldiers in league with the Blacksmith, so that our soldeirs may have regenerating health capabilities.

JUST LIKE IN CALLADOOTY

rolled 14 = 14

>>16801440
Welp. It appears we ate them, instead. Hey, meat is good, right? Lets hope they dont kill us for that.

>>16801387
Diplomance those woodfolk using our new aura, and check up on 17. I want to see how he improved.

rolled 29 = 29

See if we can get Seventeen to forge some armor/weapons, also check up on Bearex

rolled 9 = 9

this is a good idea

Diplomance the woodfolk using Calm lv 5, and heal our dudes with life webs.

rolled 12 = 12

>>16801464
>>16801453

Combine these ideas.

Create some web-weaved regenerating armor for our soldiers.

rolled 27 = 27

>>16801477
Fuck

>>16801385
This 'un, in addition to asking how bad things are in the Woodfolk capital, and seeing what spectre Aazz thinks of how we're doing- and maybe see about reviving him properly. No more spectre gittery; we have enough necromancy and biomancy to truly revive him, no?

For tasks that do not require our direct interaction with anything, have our underlings pass on that we need to create some delicious iron weapons- have 17 get right on it- and maybe smelt and reforge the elves' ruined bronze armor. Send some scouts to make long-range observations of the woodfolk crystal-pit.

rolled 14 = 14

>>16801453
This. If our words won't convince our enemies to join us, our soldiers being seemingly immortal will.

rolled 40 = 40

>>16801387

Heal the wounded.

See what Aazz is up to.

>>16801494
>>16801483
Alright, stopping rolling!

>>16801494
>nat 40

rolled 5 = 5

>>16801387

Find the largest, most amazing part of the meteor, shit a ton of webs of life everywehre, and make that our new home.

Either that or find a place in the forest, which ever place commands more magical power and will make the best location for an awesome shrine/palace.

rolled 26 = 26

>>16801494
... Ho... How...

This quest is insane. I have NEVER seen so many crits so consistently in anything ever. On account of the 39 & 40, maybe combine these two posts' actions?

>>16801518
I get the feeling that even if we switched to a d100 we'd still be getting an outrageous number of 100's and 99's.

>>16801518
The Random Number gods know a good thread when they see it, and are expressing their pleasure with the OP.

rolled 7 = 7

pleas combine the 39 and the 40

rolled 27 = 27

>>16801387

God damn it man. I can only drawfag so fast. I am still working on the LAST evolution. Now we have detachable lampry minions? The things I do for you people. Also, we should get those parasites some mantis shrimp upgrades for their spikes. Nothing says "fuck you" like a mantis shrimp punch to the jugular.

rolled 16 = 16

>>16801568
Fuck mantis shrimp, let's make them super-pistol shrimp, using a version of the Lizard-Bird's death ray from clacking their claws together to make a tiny fusion reaction.

Nature is hardcore like that. He/she/it's created working semi-plasma weapons... IN SHRIMP.

I have to ask, when are we going to upgrade the freaking shadow Travel and the damned Mouth Laser?

rolled 38 = 38

we can skip the mouth lazer i just want the shadow ravle and more necro

>>16801494
>>16801483
First, you hash out some administrative things with Razz. Like the Forgeslug.

You kind of want to get Seventeen working on your armor and weapons, since all of your troops- and you DO mean, ALL OF YOUR TROOPS- have been going into battle either naked, or in thin animal skins cloaks (which is pretty much the same thing). Their weapons were also scrounged up from star-gods-knows-where.

Next, you tell Razz that, in no uncertain blorps, you want scouts going out to the Northwestern Woodfolk Pit to get a bead on things. You make damn sure that Razz passes along word that any scouts who either reveal their position to the elves or forget their objective will 1) be denied alcohol for three months, and 2) have their shiny things privileges revoked for good.

Once you finish THAT, it's time to skedaddle. Thankfully, MYSTERIOUS TIME STREAM always seems to heal you up to full, so you stand up and-

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT!"

... you make a mental note to tell Razz to stop being such a drama queen about everything. The leafdancer's pointing at you.

"My lord! Your... your goddamn wings...! They're- it became-"

You look back behind you. Where your wings once were, there is a cloak. If blazing determination could be captured, bottled up, and used to dye cloth, that's what color the damn thing is. Mystified, you try to spread your wings, and the cloak automatically shifts back into your draconic wings.

Hell, it's almost as if someone up there rolled up to the max number when they requested that you get shades and a cape! ... is what you WOULD think, but regrettably, you're nowhere near evolved enough to make sarcastic meta-references.

With a lighthearted BLORP, you soar back up into the skies. Healing the wounded is easy enough; your webs are now MUCH more potent than before, and it only takes you half an hour to work through the rest of the wounded.

(continued)

>>16801683
>nat 38

Jesus, this Quest's get some high rolls.

No, the laser has potential to be awesome. We could make it so every single damn inch of our body can shoot super beams of death, and that's just the most straighforward use I can think of for now

>>16801719
Everyone's now back up to fighting strength... or they will be, once they get some rest.

Your next stop? Aazz, and then the woodfolk that you have under your rule. ... thing.

As for Aazz, he's out training the sunfolk spearmen, and is in fine condition: the ghost's yelling them through as many drills as he knows, generally from observation of woodfolk spearmen.

Despite the fact that he is (or was, before he died and lost his weapon) the best with a club, you note that where melee fighting is concerned, he really seems to know his shit.

"My lord!" Aazz slams a fist into his spectral chest in salute as you approach. "Can you believe these fucking guys!? They can't decide which goddamn fighting style they want to GO with!" he snarls. "I mean, fuckin' LOOK at them!!" You peer over, blinking all of your eyes at different times.

The spearmen are... actually having a heated argument. Half of them have their spears gripped in one hand and a shield in another, gesturing wildly and falling into a defensive pose; the other half are wielding their spears two-handed and jumping around like hyperactive crickets.

"They were experimenting during the last battle," Aazz grumps. "We don't have the manpower to let them split into two groups, and I REALLY think we should let their goddamn brains focus on mastering ONE fucking battle style."

You listen with half an ear; you're wondering if Aazz isn't more useful as a living, breathing Sunfang rather than a wraith.

"What do you think, my lord?" Aazz says, looking to you for guidance. "Both styles look really fuckin' promising, but..."

>COMMAND?

>>16801719
>Hell, it's almost as if someone up there rolled up to the max number when they requested that you get shades and a cape! ... is what you WOULD think, but regrettably, you're nowhere near evolved enough to make sarcastic meta-references.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This is the best quest ever. Kudos to you, OP.

rolled 31 = 31

>>16801737
Shield and spear, as far as I've seen there hasn't really been any cavalry to deal with so the two-handed "pike" style wouldn't be as usefule. Plus, Spartans anyone?

rolled 9 = 9

The Spartans used shield walls and they were the best goddamn fighters of their day!

If it's good enough for Leonidas, it's good enough for us!

rolled 38 = 38

>>16801737
So wait, we have to choose between Shield Wall Pikemen or FUCKING FINAL FANTASY DRAGOONS?

....I want the Fucking Dragoons. As long as we make them bitchin' Dragoon armor.

rolled 35 = 35

>>16801737
Spear and shield. They're best suited to holding the enemy in place while our heavy hitters like Bearrex and Aazz smash them.

Spear and shield, of course. We need shields if we want an organized army.

>>16801568
>>16801622
I actually kind of imagine them looking like our parasitic mouth-hooks. Kind of like Thing from the Addams Family, except about fifty times more horrifying.

.... of course, that's liable to change when we get to the next MYSTERIOUS TIME STREAM, I think.

rolled 10 = 10

>>16801737

Shield and Spear. It's the shield and spear that will be most useful to our troops.

rolled 9 = 9

>>16801737
Phalanx it up. The phalanx in the ancient world was pretty much unbeatable, and the Greeks used it to stomp ass all over their peninsula.

rolled 37 = 37

>>16801737
Before we go on to the Woodfolk, we do have to deal with Aazz's dilemma. Make sure that BOTH fighting styles are remembered and written into the Book of War. Wait, do we have a Book of War? Fuck, man, Aazz should get to writing a Book of War. Considering our lack of manpower, while the Spartan technique is promising, being able to strike and bugger off- and being better able to set a spear against a charge- is more useful to us at the moment.

Alternatively, use both but keep them in ONE group; have a frontline and flank of Spartan-styled troops and a back line of pike/spearmen. Best of both worlds. They can fight as a group just fine, or split up. Teamwork is essential, but so is personal combat ability. Focus on the teamwork and combined formation for now, because the Sunfang are already pretty great at savage fighting, guerilla warfare and personal combat.

rolled 5 = 5

I say we go wit the Jumping thing because in the trees our minions rule at jumping where as trees fuck up a phalanx by the time we need that we will have enough solders to split.

rolled 19 = 19

>>16801719
Remember, we still serve the Outer Gods and act as their avatar on earth.

It's a close choice, but you figure that you should go with the hit-and-run tactics of... of whatever the hell they're doing.

You pause for a second.

>BLORP?

"Eh? Teach them in BOTH?" Aazz rubs his chin thoughtfully. "... well, I GUESS we can try somethin' like that. Dunno how good they'll be if we train 'em in both fuckin' styles, but they'll fuckin' listen to their ol' chieftain, eh? Damn straight!"

He grins that toothy grin of his. "And don't worry, ol' Aazz has got ALL that shit memorized right the fuck up here," he adds, tapping his ghostly temple with a ghostly claw. "If we get enough guys to get two squads goin', just give me the word, eh?"

You give him a nod and a BLORP. And then... you pause for a moment, giving Aazz a once-over. You don't really think you HAVE the materials with you, but you decide to give reviving him a try.

>>16802003
It's not really a matter of how many arms they have; it's more that the Spartan style requires you to be locked in place, while the Dragoon style needs you to jump around like a bouncy ball.

Actually, why aren't we sharing our evolution power with our Sunfangs? We should have enough biomancy to make some Sunfangs evolve.

>>16802033

EVO power is something specific to us in this tribe, but we can use the biomancy for temporary changes I think. That might have changed with the increase in biomancy though, we haven't tried yet.

. . . Do those baby-parasites magically transfer blood to us? If not, we need to make it so next upgrade.
Regen armor+transfer parasite = bloodbank minions.

rolled 40 = 40

>>16802025
I think we've really missed out on the all-shield style of combat. It's a bludgeon, a blade (if you build it right) and a wall. Two hands, two shields? It's the educated choice.

rolled 40 = 40

>>16802025
Mmm. But since we're teaching BOTH-really, a new school born from the intermixing, honestly- the end result will be that they can jump around like a bouncy ball or stand their ground with either a spear & shield or long spear, yes? Versatility is das guut. They won't be picking up either quite as well as if we specialized at first because we're faffing about with stuff that has yet to really come into the Sunfang's military tradition, but they'll be better off later and still capable of standing up to the shiteating Woodfolk tyrants for now.

- and then Aazz is staring at the spectral club that's now in his hand: the ghost of the King of Clubs, his favorite weapon in life.

It's no longer a mere bone, though; you can't really tell what's going on, but it's as if someone embroidered it with gold, spikes, and, oh, the souls of all sunfang chieftains that came before him. Aazz gives it a few powerful swings, and laughs uproariously as it's surrounded in a ghostly aura and the spectral roars of the ancestors ("SUUUUCK IIIIIIIT, FUCKERRRRRS").

"Holy shit! Guardian, you're the fuckin' BEST! It's like Broday come months early!" he cackles.

>GLEEP?

"Yeah, one of our holidays. You're supposed to give thanks to the world for being so goddamned nice as to breathe life into every fucking one of us, and be awesome to everyone in return." Aazz makes a face. "Nowadays, everyone's just in it for the fucking food and presents. Fuckin' eggspawn these days, eh? Damn straight!"

Bemused, you take off to go have a chat with the woodfolk.

(continued)

>>16802286
Unsurprisingly, the woodfolk largely keep to themselves in one of the undamaged mud-huts next to the meteor; you can hear them murmuring amongst themselves. Something about "... with a femur!"

... when they all turn to stare at you with frightened eyes, you belatedly remember that you forgot to bring a translator with you... but, eh, there's an easy solution to that.

Ten mini-parasites and a LOT of calming aura later, you BLORP at them reassuringly, telling them that they will not be mashed under a dinosaur's knee, and that they have nothing to fear from you as long as long as they obey your very simple rules of DON'T SABOTAGE SHIT OR KILL US AND/OR EACH OTHER.

It's surprisingly easy to do so. That in itself tells you something about the capital, but you ask anyway.

"It's real simple," one says. "You're in one of three things: the crystal-favored and their friends and family, the military, or..." He cracks a humorless grin. "... everyone else. The cattle who makes everything our Tribe needs to live and fight."

"And most of that goes to the military and the crystal-favored," another woodfolk adds.The problem is that... most of 'everyone else' is so into the crystal-favored's god that they really don't mind."

That seems to be all the information they can give you, so you throw your cloak over one shoulder, saunter out of the hut, and fly off toward the meteor.

>>16802293
You reach the side that's still suspended and touch down right where the support pillars (vines and bark) meet the meteor; what you initially took as one of the craters actually seems to be a hole leading deeper into the space rock.

The scouts scramble out and line up in front of you, saluting like nobody's business. "We found some real fuckin' shiny rocks!"

>... bl... orp.

Another scout pipes up. "Yeah! So many fucking rocks! .. oh, and some huge cave that's goddamn huge. There's so much fucking room in there, but- look, the space rocks are so goddamn shiny, aren't-"

>GLEEP.

It takes a few minutes to convince them to fuck the space rocks and take you into this cavern- which they do.

They weren't kidding. It's like the goddamn thing was custom made to be a city; the cave spans most of the meteor's interior, with natural shelves forming along the edges. Here and there, light streams in from small craters and holes in the sides and tops of the thing. There are a few unconnected smaller rooms accessible from other entrances, as well, and...

You could EASILY fit the Sunfang Tribe in this thing, and it's inhabitable with some work. Hell, with the numbers you have now, you could fit them in a few fucking times over! The Sunfang'll want trees, but you could plant a few with your Biomancy.

... still, you have a few options at this point; your scouts aren't going to come back for a little while. You've got your armor and weapons (and Seventeen) to check up on, but- frankly, you can set the Sunfangs onto whatever tasks you can think up.

>COMMAND?

See if we can use Necromancy to raise the ghost of the king we killed. We can support 3 undead.
Also see if we can use Biomancy to give Bearrex some fucking wooden Arms or Tentacles or Legs or Jaws or something up until his mass limit.

rolled 16 = 16

Let's check on the armor and weapons. if our spearmen are going to be dragoons, then our clubbers need to be ded fuckin 'ard. We should also probably think about training them with sword and board or something.

rolled 18 = 18

>>16802420
But if we keep making them that means we have to keep below the cap or we lose are cool fate points so we have to balance our reserve versus losing points a reserve of 1 for example means we can ether keep one just in case or keep burning it to rock out on little things but likely not have it when it is life or death 2 allows us one just in case and to rock the little shit more just gives us a bigger reserve but enough game design theory let op say what he will (I like 2-4) also they make us harder to kill on fluke bad roles and that is good.

Find the largest cavern in the meteorite and make it our throne room and shrine to the ancients. We must plant trees here until we have an entire grove filled with the with lush trees and shining crystals.

This serves a duel purposes. We shall hold all important meetings here so we don't spend our time running around and we have a place where the populace can worship the ancients(which they will be forced to do).

rolled 22 = 22

as i see it our primary concerns are
scout the wold folk settlement (covered)
read those books
talk to 17 about armor weapons and shit
get the materials (we said we relay should have used) and raise Aazz
plant trees in our meteor (after 17 looks at/for meteor metal)
train our warriors (covered)
diplomacy "our" Woodfolk (done we can learn more later)
Upgrade BeaRex both with necromancy and planting plants on him as living armor/tenticals.
We can also use the same basic way we caught the meteor coupled with how we move roots and vines to turn the meteor into a moving city.

>>16802601

You flit around the cavern and quickly pinpoint the largest chamber there; once that's done, you flit back to the scouts and tell them to start planting trees in there, ASAP.

They'll probably finish in about a day or so, at which point you can Biomancy them all up. Soon, Sunfang Meteor... soon.

And then you decide to experiment with something that's always piqued your curiosity: CAN you turn plants to meat? You go outside, stare up at some trees, thrash your whipcrack tail, and exert your energy-

SHIT SHIT JESUS HOLY FUCK IT'S A PILLAR OF TWISTED FLESH BUT IT'S FOUNTAIN BLOOD EVERYWHERE AND IT'S GROWING EYES AND A MOUTH AND IT'S SHRIEKING LIKE THE DAMNED OH GOD WHYYYYYYY

- you turn it back and resolve not to try that again until you can control your Biomancy just a LITTLE bit better.

Then doesn't that mean that, when our will is WRATH, we can convert that plant matter to SCREAMING HORROR DEATH MEAT around Bearrex?

>BONUS!

... who is capering around a small primitive forge, burbling and cheering and generally acting like he's just won the lottery.

"Guardian! Guardian! I have worth! Discovery! Great ability! Rare! Rare! Oh, is happiness!"

You call Aazz to help you translate- the wraith rises sinisterly out of the ground, but even that doesn't put a damper on Seventeen's spirits.

>BLORP?

"Oh, weapons and armor? Weapons and armor done! Have many iron spears! Some iron armor. Not much. Good helmets, good armor. But better news! Better news!"

>BLORP?

In response, Seventeen slides over and snakes a green liquidy pseudopod out from his shell, setting a breastplate against the wall. The breastplate has a VERY large hole punched through it. And then he walks over clear to the other side of the room.

"Look! Watch!"

The forgeslug tosses a piece of ore into his mouth, chews for a second- a small jet of steam escapes one of the box-shell's seams- and then he spits, hitting the broken armor dead-on...

... and the hole is patched up.

"Fast repair! So-so quality! But better than nothing, in fight! And things break lots in fight! Patch dents, everything!"

Aazz is staring at the armor, his eyes wide. "Tell me, Seventeen... you can do that to fuckin' weapons, right?"

"Yes!"

"And the faces of your fuckin' enemies, too?"

"Yes! ... would hurt them quite badly, though."

Seventeen is completely and utterly confused when Aazz starts laughing and slapping the forgeslug's box-shell in approval. "Damn straight it would!"

More pressing... What about the other Sunfangs? Where are they? The only tribe left was this one, but surely there are still scattered pockets. Surely there are some in slavery to the Woodfolk.

We need to find these people and bring them under our banner.

Soon enough, though, the scouts from the Northwestern Woodfolk Pit return: the woodfolk have DEFINITELY received word of their king's death and defeat, judging that they're starting to shore up their defenses.

There are huts all around the large pit, but the large two-story hut- the overseer's hut? Something else?- seems to be the center of all the activity that's taking place right now. The scouts also saw a few warbands preparing to mobilize, though they couldn't get close enough to tell WHAT they were planning.

>>16802899
The woodfolk clearcut most of the area around the pit; there are a few stray trees left standing, however.

>>16802864
There are likely a number of scattered Sunfang families or small group around, but they're small enough that they're hard to find- without any action taken, recruits will randomly wander in from the wilds at certain points (like the beginning of this thread).

The woodfolk likely have a number of Sunfang slaves, but nowhere that the scouts have seen them.

rolled 21 = 21

>>16802944
Then it's clear what we should do. When we assault the Woodfolk, we will do it in a non-conventional manner. We will first preach our word of peace and understanding to the Woodfolk from on high; call out to them to throw off their shackles and come to the Sunfang Meteor. And though we offer this boon upon them now, great horrors will be visited upon them if they do not leave the great pits and overthrow their masters. The offer will not be closed, but the horrors may... COMPLICATE things for those who are slow to make their judgement. Then, regardless of whether the majority of the woodfang rebel and leave, leaving just the military and crystal-favored, or if they chose to stay out of greater fear for their masters, we visit utter horror upon them by turning the trees into shoggoths and seeding the barren but more than likely still fertile soil with maddening fleshplants. And if the elves won't surrender and join us, flipping off their tyrannical masters, when their hellish pit has been made a literal hell, then NOTHING will and we'll just have to emancipate them by simple brute force, whittling down their military with guerilla warfare and our various new toys.

Anon. You'd make us just as horrible as the Woodfolk by doing that. There is always room for mercy and understanding. There is a reason that we have a calming aura; we're a chill motherfucker of a salamander demigod, a benevolent one. We do not mercilessly slaughter. We will sweep aside those who stand against us, but all who wish to join us must be taken in with open arms, and those who stand neither with or against us treated just as fairly and benevolently as those who stand with us, that they might change their viewpoint to favor us.

We're a demigod of death and life, of the natural order, of zen. Though in battle we represent the most brutal side of nature, that is not all we are. We represent a people which has been oppressed and murdered and ruined by the tyrants of the woodfolk... And the woodfolk suffer just the same.

"ALRIGHT, YOU FUCKERS!" Aazz roars, his ghostly voice carrying far enough to be heard around the meteor. "LET'S FUCKING DO THIS!"

You all quickly round up your troops- the clubbers, the spearmen, the leafdancers, and all of your more notable minions- and start marching as fast as you can; it's go time. And you THINK you have a plan that will, at the very least, give the common woodfolk a chance to get out from the middle of this battle.

... even if it WILL involve screaming trees.

You have one more task in front of you, however...

Aazz leads 15 clubbers and 5 spearmen, clubbers infront of the spearmen at the beginning of the charge. Razz and Seventeen leads the leafdancers and 10 clubbers as a ranged support group. Bearex leads the remaining troops. We do what our plan was.

Let's put Aazz with the clubbers, Razz and Seventeen with the leafdancers, and have bearrex smash shit wherever it seems like he's needed most.

>>16803128

We're going to seperate our forces into two groups, assault groups(who do the actual charging and attacking) and support groups (who assist the assault group using disruption or healing).

The first group be composed of the 28 clubbers and lead by Aazz. They will be the ones who charge the enemy first. They won't charge, however, until the rest of the forces are in position.

The second main assault group, squad Death Iron, will be lead by the dragoons and bearex. They're going to immediately attack once the battle has been started by the first assault group. They're going to act as the spear thrust that attacks the most powerful enemy warriors. They're going to lead the way for our attack on the enemy crystal-users.

The Support groups will consist of the leafdancers and Razz and forgeslug. They will assist any way they can, usually keeping our troops in the battle and making sure the enemy troops are off guard.

We are going to be in the fight from the start. Our warriors need to see us fighting. We're going to be fighting alongside the first assault gruop. Once Death Iron clears the way for us we're going to attack the enemy leaders.

rolled 3 = 3

>>16803128
Aazz, obviously, leads the army as its general, as well as being a kickass wraith with a suped-up version of the King's Club.

Spearmen recieve a charge on the defense, or harass and stab and be jumpy gits on the offense. Clubbers do what they do best; club the hell out of pansy ass Woodfolk soldiers.

Seventeen sprays charging woodfolk with molten metal, obviously. The repair is an interesting utility, but he should really focus on melting woodfolk.

Bearex... Does what Bearex does best. GRRRROOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRR! indeed.

Meanwhile, we wreak havoc with the fleshtrees and our magics and our simple bestial might.

Going to war to expand lands and provide peace for our own people, not killing the commoners. Overall, more good than evil.

The vast majority of us don't really want to be stupidly evil, and at least on or two other posters aside from myself are actively voicing their displeasure at the idea. If anything, slaughtering those woodfolk- after we granted them mercy before, and before that seeded the idea way back that we try to press them into an armistice instead of destroying them entirely- would be a far greater break in character than our steady ramp up into benevolence.

So please. Quit being a git. We're eating up posts, here. You're almost as bad as Khornefag from Heretic Quest. Actually, you're possibly just as bad.

We've been doing 'those things" in every single quest thread, including this one. Your "mindless animal" statement really no better than the "no true scotsman" informal logical fallacy. No matter how much you try to make excuses for our previous actions the fact remains everything was done out of bloodlust.

Really it's laughable at your pathetic excuses. Trying to invalidate ones actions because they were done at hte start of the thread is utterly ridiculous and really shows that you're not in-touch with what's happened in this quest.

>>16803142
Compared to some of the shit that you HAVE been doing with Biomancy and Necromancy, giving Bearex extra armor is EXTRAORDINARILY easy: you wrap his bones with vines molded so as to give him a little defense without impairing his mobility, and then layer some tree and/or bone armor on top.

You also manage to meld the bear skull a bitchin' helmet out of bone.

>>16803167
The squads are laid out just as planned, and you feel fairly confident about how they'll be led; Aazz and his melee fighters will be a bull in a china shop, Razz is a fair hand with his leafdancers and while Seventeen isn't particularly experienced, he can keep his armored clubbers in tip-top shape...

... and Bearex is Bearex, so his troops are pretty damn pumped just to fight next to such a titan.

And now to see how this all works.

(continued)

Why does it matter what we are?

>>16803475
At the Northwestern Woodfolk Pit:

The first thing the woodfolk see is Bearex standing at the forest's edge, his eyes lit by a swirling green fire.

That would have been MORE than enough to send them into a tizzy... but then, the vanguard of the Sunfang Army moves into view, and they have *no fucking clue what to do.* You and Aazz, standing in Bearex's mouth, start... well.

"- ght, can they hear me NOW? Fucking long way for sound to travel, I mean, even if I'm a goddamn GHOST, they should- oh, right."

Even those woodfolk toiling away in the pit with pick and shovel can hear the proceedings now. The former-chieftain-current-wraith clears his throat.

"Alright, you piss-shitting woodfolk! Listen up! We got a little proposition for you: we ARE still pretty fucking sore about getting chased out of the forest, but we think this's gonna be a great deal for you."

Aazz continues even as the woodfolk murmur to themselves (mostly along the lines of "good gracious, what DOES 'piss-shitting' mean?"). "We're here for the fucking crystal-favored! You know, the guys who threw you into a great goddamned pit and started taking everything you've ever worked for? Yeah, those guys."

You act as if I can't simply go back and re-read the previous quest threads to verify your statement, which is an obvious lie. The group conscious was always on violent actions, from the very begining of the quest to the last quest thread. I really don't know how you possibly thought you might convince anyone otherwise with the proof to the contrary is in the original post link.

>>16803444
Sir. Look to OP's last post before the current one. We're already not engaging in a slaughter of noncombatants and we're already going to accept all who come to us. Our character's mindset is clearly inclined towards self-control of our domains of death and war when it can be done. At the very least, you've been outvoted by threadgoers and we won't be engaging in any atrocities any time soon, because we would all like some relative consistency in the character with how it grows from where it is now. Quit your gittery. This quest does NOT need a Khornefag.

>>16803493
"So here's what we propose," Aazz continues, raising his voice above the rising din; woodfolk are yelling back and forth, some against the crystal-favored, and some in support of their 'god's prophets.' You can't tell how the numbers are split. "If you guys wanna run, that's fine with us. If you guys wanna run to US, we'll welcome you with open fucking arms, 'cause that's how our Guardian rolls. We even got some woodfolk with us! Say hi to the nice slaves, guys."

There are a few scattered "hi"s from the woodfolk in your employ, though it's hard to hear.

"If you guys wanna STAY, though, that's gonna be a little harder, 'cause you're gonna be stuck in the freakiest goddamn hell you've ever seen. Right? Right. Oh, and no matter what- the offer's going to be open."

Aazz lets the silence hang for a few moments, before- "Alright, Guardian, lay it on them."

You concentrate. Immediately, one of the few trees on the edge of the pit suddenly turns into a pulsating, writhing pillar of flesh that's fountaining blood, guts, and gore everywhere; horrified screams erupt from the general populace, and you hear even more as you repeat this with a few more of the trees.

For those woodfolk who CAN run, there IS a general panicked exodus AWAY from most of this, though you can't tell exactly which direction it's going in, not quite yet-

-- and that's all you have time to do before the woodfolk warbands catch up to you. Again, it's a mix of club-wielders and spearmen; this time, though, it's a MUCH more straightforward engagement, and Aazz and Bearex's squadrons crash into the woodfolks' front lines with a will (and equally loud roars)-

- and you are flying up above, peering down at the melee that's just starting to unfold. Razz and Seventeen's squadron has yet to engage; Aazz and Bearex's clubbers are laying into the WOODFOLK clubbers, while your spearmen seem to melt back into the trees, getting ready to start their acrobatics.

Since it's ore, that could mean there are veins of metal that can produce the main materials in bronze, namely tin and copper. That also means we have most of the ingredients for other fine products such as pewter. Which would be good if we ever needed to trade.

The more you know, brought to you by dwarf fortress play.

>>16803556
>>16803549
Oh, were you ever waiting for this.

With an angry BLORP, you fold your wings and do a quick strafing run over the woodfolk clubbers, unleashing your calming aura with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. With how strong your aura is, it's an instant hit; the lead woodfolk collapse, the ones behind are either stunned or stumble, and you even manage to tag a few of the spearmen coming up behind them.

Your clubbers, with their new armor and weapons, take full advantage of this and start smashing them into the ground; the dragoons pick off those who try to retreat, and you even see one vault up into the air before coming down, HARD, on an unfortunate woodfolk spearman who couldn't get out of the way in time.

And Aazz... Aazz is having the time of his (un)life, swinging his club in huge arcs, in time with spectral roars to the tune of "IIIIIII FUUUUUUUUCKED YOOOOOOOOUR MOOOOOOOOM"; those who are hit straight on simply explode, while those who are winged seem to be chilled, moving more slowly than before. And Bearex- good old Bearex- is right next to him, pulling off the only two attacks he ever needs: 1) kick, and 2) bite.

Woodfolk go FLYING.

With a thought, you create razor leaves in the nearest trees, but have no way to move them-

- until Razz catches onto what you're trying to do. "LEAFDANCERS! GO!" he roars, taking full advantage of the chance you've given him. The whirlwind of leaves don't cut through armor, but since most of the woodfolk lack neck protection or have their faces unobscured...

You stare a bit. It's like they're getting consumed by invisible piranha.

(continued)

>>16803714
Your army SEEMS to have things under control; the other army is slightly better trained, and they have more woodfolk, but they just do NOT have the sheer firepower that your own squad leaders are pulling out. It's really true- King Selac took all of his best with him when he went to fight you at your home turf.

Besides... this time, you have iron weapons. Even nicks from these are enough to cause some of the woodfolk to stagger, flinch, or even shriek, taking them off-guard long enough for them to lose focus. Hell, even SEVENTEEN is putting up a good fight; the forgeslug is alternating between spitting molten metal at enemies' faces, and marginally LESS molten metal at the sunfang clubbers whose armor is taking hits.

They've got it under control, at least for the moment, so it's time to look for the crystal-favorTHERE SHE IS.

The woodfolk in question is standing on the roof of the second-story overseer's building, watching the fight with the same bird's-eye view that you do; when your eyes meet, you can FEEL the power she possesses.

What's worrisome is that she 1) smiles, and 2) snaps her fingers. The sound seems to ring out across the whole of the pit...

(continued)

>>16803761
... and what answers is an earth-shaking roar, the sounds of chains breaking, and you catch a mere glimpse of SOMETHING large, white, and ape-like vaulting straight out of the pit- before it seems to disappear in midair.

There's a titanic BOOM, and you see a small crater form right next to your troops- and then an invisible force slams straight into the sunfolk clubbers, sending a few of them flying across the battlefield. The monster flickers back into view, and-

... it seems like it WAS a crystal-favored once. You feel an echo of the power this ape-like monster once held, but all that's left behind those mad red eyes is a dull, animal-like mind, even less intelligent than the bear and the bird you fought.

With a roar, Bearex enters the fray, body-slamming the Yeti away from the army- but the Yeti immediately goes invisible, and your skeletal champion is rocked as an unseen force starts punching him.

Fucking hell- you whirl as you try to find the woodfolk-crystal-favored, and you see her walking down the roof and back into the hut, turning her back on the battle.

You need to decide who to go after... and what to do.

The yeti is an immediate threat. One way to deal with this is to send vines flying everywhere above and around your soldiers, in an attempt to grab hold of the creature.

If brains were meant to take flight, then why are they so weak and wingless?

rolled 28 = 28

>>16803835

We should fly towards the yeti while it's visible, or use biomancy to trap it, and latch onto it's head with our tongue. We then eat it's brain in the name of the ancients.

>>16803982
That's why we have to evolve them wings and death rays.

>>16803997

Good luck finding a crystal-blessed brain that isn't inside a body yet still capable of survival then.

I wish to make love to you for that crit.

You squint. You concentrate. And then- yes, you start seeing faint flickers of life inside the hut, even at this range. You can't do anything about the woodfolk crystal-favored, not DIRECTLY, but...

You clench a clawed paw into a fist, and you immediately see those little flickers- those critters- flowing towards the room that the crystal-favored is in, eventually coalescing into a slightly bigger blob. And then you send it roiling towards the woodfolk.

If THAT doesn't slow her, then you have no goddamn clue what will.

That's as much as you can do, because you've got ANOTHER pressing matter here. That monster's going to have to learn that if it wants to fucking mess around with your champion, you're going to mess with IT.

You start sensing it more and more as you dive closer; the second it flickers into view, you latch onto its leg and start channeling your Biomancy, slamming your mouth-hooks in to keep you connected-

- and it takes! The Yeti is rooted into place, its fur and part of its feet meshed into the ground. It's a quick chop-job, but it'll definitely do.

As the monster shrieks, gibbers, and howls, twisting at its feet this way and that, you dart in and slash at its eyes; it's too slow in batting at you, and the Yeti is blinded in one fell swoop.

You alight right on top of Bearex's bear skull, your wings turning back into that ragged cape, and watch as the Yeti scrabbles at its ruined face and sways in place, barely managing to keep its balance.

... you can FEEL Bearex grinning. It's just you and him against this monster, almost like the old days.

And it's just you and him who will finish this.

BITE HIS ENTIRE HEAD. ENGULF IT. Then, have Bearex tackle his ass and seperate it neatly from his body as we take back off into the sky in the opposite direction.

In addition, we're autosaging, sah. It's time to start a new thread or call it, and either way time to archive.

Go for the throat! Then leap off and check on that crystal-favored.

I don't know what this will do to the yeti, but I hope I roll a 40 so I can find out.

The yeti is huge, that means he has huge guts. Ripe and tear!

As one, you and Bearex lunge forward; you dash forward to stand on the tip of the tyrant king's skull, while your skeletal champion hurtles at the Yeti, a calcified juggernaut with a maw of Guinsu knives. With an expert twist of your shapeshifting abilities, you open your mouth, and suddenly your mouth-hooks are growing in size...

Your hooks, looking like some gigantic horn, dice into the Yeti's chest, cutting straight through; your Bearex's charge mashes it in further, the whole weight of the tyrant king skeleton almost flattening it on its own.

Bearex travels a few more steps- once, twice, thrice- and then, with a twist of BOTH of your heads, the Yeti is torn messily in half, splattering both of you in its blood.

Clearly... the Yeti never saw it coming.

As the Bearex roars in triumph, you make a beeline right for the two-story hut, intending to chase down the woodfolk crystal-bearer- and ending it right here, right now.

I Fucking love this quest.

OKAY! I've got some bad news, and I've... well, okay, it's only bad news.

This is turning out to be a pretty bad week for me, and honestly, the next week isn't looking any better- I've got a LOT of major projects due, and not enough time to do them.

I'm not sure when I can get this quest series up and running again, but if I'm LUCKY, I'll be able to come back for a bit on Thursday. After that, it's going to be touch-and-go, at least until the 10th.

Thanks a lot for following this quest, guys!

I'm glad! I'm running on not nearly enough sleep, so my typing wasn't exactly up to par tonight.

Hopefully, my batteries will be better charged when I get back.


>>16804227
Whoops, sorry! The usual time: 8 pm EST or thereabouts.

thanks again for the epic thread
