>>18193353
I stopped reading when they went a full month of doing text-only updates.
The writing isn't bad, but it's not really compelling or updated quickly enough to carry the entire thing without the comic aspects of it.

>>18193444
Exactly. Parson is an interesting character. You know who isn't? Some nameless re-animated soldier. Guess who we get non-stop updates about.

>>18193444
Man, you really did stop reading.

Text-only updates started October 31 and are still running. They occasionally get single panel scenes at the bottom, but that's it.

>>18193486
>>18193444
>>18193353

Ok, guys, everyone knows it is more of a business venture than an artistic venture, but lets not let that get in the way of playing a game.

Incidentally, updated the city lists a bit.

>>18193486
Wanda's also quite interesting, and this is her part of the story. I'm liking it.

For the other city.

I forgot where the mine was located at.

Also I still haven't made a list for the natural deamon allies.

>>18193518
Well, I'm glad I stopped reading it then.

Now then.

It is night time, and the festival has begun. The food is delicious, and the moonshine goes down smooth. You seated the Archons and Daemons are at different tables, and you aren't certain if they will have noticed one another yet. The mushroom and Cwoc soup is the first course, and seems to suitably impress everyone involved.

A band composed of a few Daemons on strings, Wight Foots playing pipes and jugs, and Men playing drums start up and take requests. As the night drags on a few people begin singing, and eventually people begin to itch to dance.

>>18193539
daemons now

>>18193589
Well get in on the hoedown

Also, did we ever ask how much it would cost for a moneymancer?

>>18193589
Frank dances with every woman there at least once.

>>18193735

(You have yet to find out. Your Casters have been told to look in on it though.)

>>18193735
>>18193736

You will throw down on the dance floor then?

>>18193770
Well, we're probably not the best at dancing- but unless we expect to embarrass ourselves, we might as well.

Also seize the opportunity to talk with our warlords and get to know them a little better. Need to establish personal knowledge to keep Loyalty high.

>>18193770
Yes.

>>18193968

Interesting.

It's quickly apparent that while you aren't a terrible dancer you certainly are not the best in show.

Countess Whisper manages to take over her corner of the floor to everyone's shock, Alice has two left feet, Halston and Liam aren't bad but aren't any better than you. Joshua is, of course, good as well. Abigail is stunningly good, on par with Whisper, but hot on their heels is one of the lady Archons!

Now, who will you dance with first?

>>18194149
Abigail, we might be able to learn something and apply it in the next dances. Save Whisper for last so that we don't look like a complete tool when we try dancing with her.

seems right that we dance with the first person we ever met, Abigail

Dicing

Must be for the politicos.

The last time we rolled for a bunch of things and didn't know why, we got mind raped... I think we need to start roleplaying more so this stuff doesn't sneak up on us.

>>18194240
We are neck deep in wartime. And also very low level.

Getting knocked around happens.

>>18194211
>>18194205
>>18194222

Abigail easily keeps step with you, and laughs as you twirl her about the dance floor.

"Are you enjoying the feast? Rodrom owes you a great debt for your courage in the field you know."

"Oh, I've just been doing what I'm good at these last few turns. I'm more curious as to what you've been plotting all by yourself."

>>18194346
Tell her we figured out a why to get Rodrom to level 3,but don't mention how. We never say Charlie's name.

>>18194346
"Trying to to die horribly at the end of a hob pike.
You know, the usual."

>>18194392
er Not trying.
yeah.

>>18194346

"Figuring out how to best jab our pointy bits into things, you know how I roll."

>>18194346
"Trying to piece together far too little information into a path toward being a lasting kingdom. Sides are falling left and right in recent turns, it seems, and avoiding being next will be tricky. Secrecy seems to have fallen through, and meeting our enemies force to force is all but impossible- one way or another, this will be an adventure."

>>18194346

"Finding a way forward that leaves room for a future and doesn't end with anything sticking into me."

>>18194504
>>18194461
>>18194429
>>18194417
>>18194392
>>18194384

"Making enough funds to get the city leveled up, grasping at a future where we're not all dead, sticking pointy bits into others while avoiding being piked myself."

"Oh, being piked isn't as bad as all that. Making any fiendish backroom contracts? You made one on the day you popped, I was so proud."

>>18194545
Flirt with innuendos.

Maybe something along the lines of, "Well I was considering getting into that fiend's back room if that's what you mean."

>>18194545
Smile. "One or two. How fiendish they are, well, we'll have to wait and see how they turn out. It would be terrible to be so clever I bargain myself right into being croaked."

>>18194589

Bow chicka Bow Wow

>>18194545
"More like a bit of profitable revenge."

>>18194545
"Oh, really? Which backroom was that?"

>>18194622
>>18194619
>>18194608
>>18194589

"I always mix vengeance with pleasure whenever possible, though I've but barely begun both of them."

I like where this is going...

>>18194589
>>18194760
You guys... that's terrible.

Not that you want to sleep with her, just those lines.

>>18194746

She laughs slightly at this, her tail flipping behind her.

"Remind me to check in on your progress on both counts. I think I like where this is going."

The song ends, and you are caught in the press of bodies as people switch partners.

And now?

>>18194824
Switch to Alice.

>>18194824
Switch partners. What else?

>>18194867
>>18194861

Alice then?

You pick Alice out as and she manages to not step on your feet as the song begins.

"Are you enjoying the feast?"

"I like the food and the music, but I'm not really much of a dancer."

1d100

rolled 74 = 74

>>18194897
Its okay. Just dance. And let's see if you got any canned heat in those heels.

rolled 7 = 7

>>18194897
"It's nice you're giving it a try though, im glad to see everyone enjoying themselves. How do you feel about all the events these past turns?"

>>18194861
Why Alice?
That poor girl is trying to hide after stumbling all over the place.
Whisper is our chief warlord, right?
We should schmooze her up a bit, give her the ol' positive reinforcement, and actually let her talk for once.

Damn, why do we never talk to Whisper?

>>18194897
"Don't worry about it. The real measure of how good a dance is is how much fun you're having."

rolled 48 = 48

>>18194897
It's ok we aren't out to kill the hobs, yet.

rolled 64 = 64

>>18194897
if it's average of 3 I cant do worse then the other guy

>>18194966
I think we want to get to her last because she is fucking good at dancing.

>>18194966
We're saving her for last because she's the best.

And she can talk whenever she wants. She is our Chief Warlord, as you pointed out. She just normally doesn't want to.

>>18194989
>>18194940
>>18194929

(Something good may or may not have happened for you. Shit behind my DM screen is crazy.)

"Don't worry, this is all about having fun, not about being good."

"I suppose so."

She seems to loosen up a bit.

"So, what do you think of these last few turns?"

"I've just been popped and gotten to croak enemy forces. I'm feeling pretty good about all of this."

>>18194966
Cause she only whispers. That's annoying when talking to someone

rolled 26 = 26

>>18195119
BUT
it does mean we can slow dance with her.

>>18195096
"Well keep the good feeling, we are going to need it"

>>18195141
I thought we like the hot Queen? Also, why is the quest turning into a dating simulator.

>>18195169

"Glad to hear it. Good feelings and croaking enemies are exactly what we're going to need soon enough."

"I'm glad I have a place here then."

>>18195224

(It's not. Plot you aren't aware of is taking place.)

>>18195224
We do like the hot queen, as a potential ally.

We are simply trying to get moral bonuses from having a positive relationship with out troops man. this game is all about the bonuses, some bonuses are harder to get than others.

>>18195263
Morale, not moral, goddamn why can't I type tonight?

>>18195260

Anything more to say to Alice?

>>18195260
>(It's not. Plot you aren't aware of is taking place.)
Even as the ruler of a side, we are STILL the totally clueless protagonist. Figures.

>>18195303
Can I get a d100 boob check?

>>18195326
Oh come now, we aren't totaly clueless, just outgunned, and having plot reign down from above everywhere.


>>18195303
"That's the spirit! Oh, and I have a project that I may need you and Liam to work on. I call it 'Mt. Mountain.' You can get the details from him, it's a doozy."

>>18195410
Oh that's an awesome project name!

>>18195436
Oh man, you have no idea, Liam is working on having mounts, that ride mounts, that are ridden by other mounts. While having the bonuses stack.

Having a warlord in there is sure to spice things up.

>>18195336

You are fairly certain you don't have boobs at the moment, but Liam could always give it a shot if you suddenly feel out of synch with your signamancy I suppose.

>>18195410

"Oh, and I have a project that I may need you and Liam to work on. I call it 'Mt. Mountain.' You can get the details from him, but it's all up in the air for now."

The song finishes up, and you are left again to pick a partner.

>>18195498

>>18195602
>>18195604

Halston points you in the direction of a blonde Archon that seems "very loose". You ask if he means with information, and he assures you of course that's what he means.

She dances with you happily, and seems quite amenable to answering any questions you might have.

rolled 94 = 94

>>18195641
"You dance gracefully [butter up before getting intel from them] I recall that Charlescomm was sometimes among the collation, how did you own fights with the Khans men go?"

>>18195680

You ask general questions about the fighting with the Khan.

Their use of archers kept the Archons out of some of the heavier fighting, but they destroyed several cavalry detachments during the conflict and found the Khan's men to be fairly lackluster in her opinion.

>>18195715
"Lackluster you say?

Are they very coordinated? Could someone, perhaps one of our forces, slip in, and reach a key target?"

Maybe we could kidnap a moneymancer instead of hiring one. That would be a hat-trick and a half.

>>18195641
"Oh behave behave! RawR! Hahaha"

>>18195772

"They just weren't... as expert as I thought they would be. The coalition forces were stunned by their tactics and combat skill, but they really just weren't anything special for high level Knight Class Archers. Dangerous, sure, but we never really batted an eye about their mobility."

>>18195802
"I imagine not, considering the grace of an Archon"

>>18195858
"Especially from what I've seen tonight"

I feel like this is a game of Clue: everyone here knows something that we do not, but we aren't quite sure how to go about getting the info except to find something to ask about and hope it's the right track.

>>18195802

It sounds like the Khan's force is built in such a way as to fuck up anybody dependent on large numbers of infantry because of how they can easily stymie their opponents with movement. Against something that moves as fast or faster they aren't so hot.

>>18195906
Probably will need sappers digging pits/traps and to play on our terms if the Khan is ever an opponent.

>>18195906
Or that which i stagnant and impregnable, such as us.

>>18195874
>>18195858

"If you fight half as gracefully as you dance, then I can see why you had such an easy time."

"Oh yes. We were pulled from the battlefield too early so that we could go hunting for targets deeper afield."

"Such as?"

"Oh, I've said too much. It's Charlescomm policy not to talk in specifics about the services other customers have payed for."

The song ends, as does the dance. The night is winding down as the night grows thin.

Any last things to do?

>>18195906
Clue is a great game.
Are we Colonel Mustard or Prof. Plum?

>>18195961
We can't let the night end without spending some time with Countess Whisper, of course.

>>18195979

>>18196068

Oh my...

The Countess is quite happy to dance with you. She seems to have something on her mind though.

"You seem distracted my lady. Is something on your mind?"

"A troublesome scenario."

"What scenario?"

"Duty requires me to serve my side as best I can, and keeping secrets is generally out of bounds under such a compulsion. However it might also hold me to silence depending on how I judge a thing."

"That isn't a direct answer to my question."

"I know. Are you certain that you want one?"

>>18196193
"I will trust in your judgment if you consider it important... but if not, I feel my life has an excess of secrets already."

>>18196193
yes. We just found out about being mind raped. Tell us the secret.

>>18196193
Madame, if you have information relevant to the war against the Khan, you are Duty-bound to provide me with such information. That being said, I trust my subjects will show discretion in what they consider 'damaging' to my side.

>>18196193
"It seems you already know it's in the best interests of Duty to share a word. To share a few more would only be better"

>>18196193
"So, let me guess, you met a mustachioed man in the swamplands while hunting cwocs, and said man presented you with an offer you couldn't refuse?"

I don't think it happened, but I am guessing it is that or Charlies archons snooping around for more info. Or something to do with the Queen using us as a sacrificial peon to get her lands back.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be wiser to play dumb, just let them think we don't know what we are doing. That way when we do anything it throws them off guard.

>>18196342
Ask her if he had a long thing mushtache and weird hat.

>>18196329
>>18196322
>>18196315
>>18196302

"The Daemons seem to have an agenda. I don't know exactly what it is, but I'm pretty certain at least one of the Legates have received Thinkagrams from someone at various times. The Archons are worried about letting someone slip, something they think would be worrisome if anyone found about regarding this conflict, though I'm not certain what it is. I suspect the Queen knew what that secret was, and I think the Archons had something to do with her leaving. On top of that..."

She bites her lip in thought.

"I just have a generally uneasy feeling about that Hobgobwin messenger."

>>18196442
Oh...Kay..., I am only really surprised by one thing.

"The messenger? The one we turned you mean?"

>>18196442
Should we croak him? I'd be okay with that. I'll watch the demons, but we need them for now.

>>18196564
I have a better idea, Liam has been experimenting on him already.

We should get Liam to break his mind with wierdomancy. OR We can swap his brain for someone else's brain.

Most likely the hob is in contact with one of the Khans Thinkamancers. By breaking/changing his mind, we have a shot at the thinkamancer.

>>18196594
I saw we just disband him. We control him and pay his upkeep right now, so if we stop, he just ceases to exist. OP disband the hobgobwin.

>>18196564
>>18196550

"The messenger? Is he up to something?"

"Not exactly. He was freshly popped and Knighted, then sent out to be an emissary. The process was clearly intended to preserve the secrets of the Khan's army in case of his capture and interrogation, but that isn't what doesn't make sense. Look at their airforce, ten knights on dwagons with maybe thirty additional flying mount units all in one stack. The idea that they would spare flying mounts when they can just send a land based rider at less expense while preserving their aerial assets is strange to me. The move doesn't make sense unless there is more to it. What that is I do not know."

>>18196631
say they probably know about us and want to stomp us, which they can only do by air since the protective nature of the swamp. Disband the Hobgobwin. Reassure Whisper by saying we don't even know if we'll fight the air force because the Doominors recently hit them hard in the north. They might turn around.

>>18196631
A scout playing an emissary...

Are there any other sides we know can have Daemon allies?

>>18196631
Did we ever ask who he was messaging?

I still think we should have Liam weird him up.

>>18196725

(Doomenor cannot, the Western Coalition could not have either. Daemons are only usually picky about certain other natural ally types, and vice versa.)

rolled 17 = 17

>>18196631
"You know i trust your tactical mind Whisper. Thank you for sharing this, we'll keep an eye on the Messenger, and the demons."

And then the slow dance starts.

>>18196726

(And he was looking for any city really.)

I'm getting the consensus is either:

-Disband the Hobgobwin
-Experiment on him with magic

>>18196776
disband him. It's bad luck to keep him this long.

>>18196790
I like experimenting. We can at least gain something that way.

>>18196776
So, he was scouting or messaging?

I am confused on this part.

>>18196756
Got to be that other city, the one that Liam found.

>>18196790
I really don't see much point. The whole problem here is that he doesn't know much.

In other news, Whisper is wonderful.

>>18196802

(Both. Scouting for cities, supposed to deliver a message if he found a new one.)

>>18196790
experimenting is fun!

Also, if he croaks from the experiment, he is gone anyway.

We have nothing to lose by vivisecting him via magics. Just, don't let the other units know about this, say he was lost to a cwoc or something if it comes up.

>>18196856
Well what was the message then?

He technically found a city.

>>18196883

(A demand to disarm and pay tribute.)

rolled 58 = 58

>>18196867
for disbanding.

Of the problems that Whisper has identified here, it seems to me that the easiest to move on is probably the Archons. They're around, and we have at least one of them identified as a good person to pump for information through solid date-a-mantic methods; we had only a single dance with her and she was talking quite a bit. Let's push that connection further post-dance, talk with her more, maybe have her sleep with us and then keep her behind while ordering the other Archons off- they'll assume it's for sentimental reasons after that, but we'll have her easily on hand to talk to and keep casually squeezing for more info.

Moving on the demons will require more delicacy since they're our natural allies and I think only Abigail is likely to really know everything that's going on with them, but hopefully Whisper can make a bit more progress on that front- and maybe the Archons will spill some information that will give us something to use to crack open Abigail.

>>18196893
So, they are running out of money?

Damnit I really wish we had killed those moneymancers.

>>18196867
>>18196914

-Pop-

He's a goner. Vanished in his bed overnight.

"Is there anything else Countess?"

"No, nothing I have determined yet."

The song ends, and it seems that unless you have further plans you can crash and sleep until next turn, when the action kicks off again.

>>18196997

You have Halston lend you some of his Mojo, and as it takes effect you suddenly feel groovy. Very groovy. Whoa!

You manage to convince the Archon to quaff entirely too much moonshine, and a combination of your augmented charm and incredibly strong alcohol has left her quite tipsy and off her guard.

What would you like to ask?

>>18197226
Woohoo?
thats the question

>>18197226
I want to ask about Rigger, but I want her to bring up the subject.

>>18197226
"I feel like we have a deep bond. Like we were destined to meet. I know we can trust each other with anything. Knowing that trust, can you tell me what our greatest threat is?"

>>18197226
"You are a very fun lady, not like your uptight friends, what's got them so stiff?"

Hopefully this will naturally flow into the secret.

We can pop what will level into a pseudo-caster unit now? Hell yes.

"Woohoo?"

"Woohoo!"

"Yeah!"

Your world is colored by mojo, and you suspect that hers is colored by the same thing and then obscured by the fog of extremely powerful bathtub liquor.

"You're having fun right?"

"Oh yeah, I'm having such a good night!"

"That's awesome, and I find this whole thing totally groovy. You're so easy to have fun with, not like your sisters at all, they're so uptight, they just need to loosen up."

You hope the effects of whatever this is aren't permanent.

"I know right?"

You finally manage to get her alone.

"Now what's got them so cagey tonight love?"


"Oh, they're just feeling tense about the missions we've been running, ya know?"

"Well not really, but I'd love to hear all about it love."

"Umm..."

The power of Mojo easily swamps any Duty or Obedience based inhibitions she might have, but mostly because she's quite drunk.

"Well, he had us covering up evidence."

"Did he know?"

"Mhm."

She hiccups slightly.

"Evidence of what?"

"The people who hired us before. Some Chieftains that worked for the Khan before he managed to really get his conquest rolling."

"You helped him earlier?"

"Like, fifty turns ago, yah. He had us taking out tough units for him before he had built up his army to the degree he was hoping to. We blew up threats so he had time to build up."

"So why are you working against him now?"

"Charlie's rule number three, we are in the business of solving problems for our clients, but sometimes we have to, like, create problems first."

"I see. Well you're telling me this is most groovy, you're very good at what you do baby. Have you been at it for a while?"

"Uh huh. Not as long as some of the other girls though."

"Oh, so you weren't here for that whole Rigger thing."

"No, it's so frustrating, but apparently it was a big deal for us back then. I'm not sure why, I mean they were just some random side that liked to pull strings."

"What kind of strings baby?"

"I don't know."

She laughs, and you laugh with her.

>>18197564
Now, lets take her back to our room, with the intent of seducing her...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWu5aQiSwFA

>>18197564
Yes!

We must remember to get something nice for Flowers.

>>18197637

There is no roll required for this. You simply whisk her upstairs and have your way with her. The deed is done.

Today you are 19 days old and no longer a virgin. Dawn arrives with your turn.

>>18197752
Flowers.
I have made it with a woman, inform the men.

>>18197752
19?
Damn, we were over half-way to being a wizard.

>>18197752

Queue up some of our new advanced units. Check out the map. Prepare to deploy Archons while we have them.

>>18197752
Flee from the consequences of our actions?

>>18197838
a cwoc or gator for each highlander. Should we get any Dullahan's? I'd say Highlanders are better as they heal themselves.

>>18197860

Highlanders don't stack with each other, so I'm thinking nine dulahans to stack with our three highlanders and all of their mounts. Put the highlanders on growligators and the dulahans on cwocs.

before we decide on units, we need to have Smythe check on the air force and inspect the level 3ness of Rodrom.

>>18197855
>>18197838

You attempt to untangle yourself from the still semi-unconscious Archon without waking her. Somehow you manage it, and you proceed to the war room.

Oh boy. 3d100

It appears that both Doomenor and the Khan booped up hard this turn. The Khan proceeded to fumble by committing to a cavalry maneuver that doesn't appear to have been a trap, and the Doomenorians assumed it was a trap and went around them for some reason.

Additionally yet another side has joined the plethora of sides that take their turn before you, a huge stack of Blue Dwagons, Pegasaur riders, and Orlies are approaching from the south. You think it might be coalition reinforcements... yes, Smythe has spotted the Queen in the stack!

>>18198045
and the stack that was going to pass by the swamp, what of it? has it moved? closer? farther?

>>18198066

Same position: in reserve.

>>18198045
Great. We have reinforcements. Praise the queen.

Anyone feel like queuing up a bunch of archers or something?

>>18198045
Hooray! Reinforcements! But with that kind as well as that number of heavy air troops, she could easily kick us out of Rodrom. and claim it.

We need infomation on the Queen. See if she's still a barbarian, if she's here to fight the Khan and only the Khan and if we are still allies.

>>18198089
Put out an add for a moneymancer.

Queue
Tights-men (a stack or two?)
Dullahans + a mount for each.

But what does a breath weapon do? Damage wise?
Might want to queue up some gators instead of cwocs.

>>18198076
then we still aren't in a rush to build up a huge army yet. Nobody's within one turn's move of us, so we can wait to see what others do and react.


I'd like Liam to work on Mt. Mount with Abigail, and then study Rigger some more. Jason and his merry fellows go do some dance practise with the Archons. AND MOST INTERESTINGLY, I'd like Flowers and Shang to go to the magic kingdom on some errands and to level.

>>18198089
Hell yes, I feel like popping a lot of archers. A city that can't defend itself from its own allies is a city that won't be its own side for long. Check our treasury, see how many we can afford.

>>18198116

(It's essentially a ranged attack. In this case it can function as a siege weapon by being activated for a prolonged period of time, shaking apart a target structure.)

>>18198106

She's moving on that stack's turn, but likely still a Barbarian. You consider the logistics of how you might contact her.

>>18198122
We don't need to do it yet. Not too many. We are safe this for a while and the less men we have to pay for the more men we have and can upgrade sooner. I'd like to get Rodrom to the top (level 5)

>>18198119
Anyone opposed to Shang-Low and Halston going to the magic kingdom?

How long would it take for one of those Dappled Wight's to go Special on us?

>>18198178
what the hell does their special even do?

This thread interests me, but I must sleep. I hope to find it later.

>>18198186
>>18198178

Depends on how fast you can level them. At about mid-level they become natural casters and their upkeep jumps.

>>18198140
Look, a huge stack of blue dwagons led by a "barbarian" coming to our capital probably means we got mindfucked twice. It can also explain why that guy rented us archons before he died.
Archers get their bonus against air units.

>>18198187

It should be on later.

>>18198196

Also, forgot to mention: when that happens they give a small leadership bonus to Wight Foots.

If you can figure out the reference I'll be amused.

>>18198196
casters of what magic though?

>>18198207

Who knows? Likely it varies.

>>18198150
TM I'd like Flowers and Bill to go on a magic Kingdom adventure. Tell them to mind their manners, see how much dirtomancy spells cost, and level up some so they're better at their schools.

>>18198225

4d100 then.

>>18198214
And, they're likely good Combat casters from the start...

I say buy a few.

>>18198225
wait, before that happens, have Flowers check out the barbarian stack with the Queen. Make sure they mean us no harm.

>>18198205
Heh, that's convenient, we can finally have a proper assassination squad without having to send any indispensable units.

But I have to admit, I just don't get the reference.

Averages

Halston indicates that you and the Queen still are on the same wavelength. He also indicates that there is someone with some very intense vibes in command of the stack, and he says your mojo might operate on alternate wave lengths. He assumes you guys should work out just fine for now.

He and Shang-Low-Bill then proceed to head off through the portal.

Now what?

rolled 15, 38, 71, 85 = 209

>>18198314
original suggestor rolling mine.

>>18198314
Parade our troops in our capital. so our reinforcements look on us as a professional army

>>18198314
We get ready to make war on the Hobs.

Trappins, get enough shmuckers to upgrade our city, and engage the hobs before our time with the archons runs out.

>>18198314
Check on reports from all Bwisps. Get updated information on wild critters in the swamp for hunting purposes; we need our people to level. Check up on all nearby enemy forces, not just the big ones; now that we're known to other forces there's not a lot of purpose in not chopping off anything that comes near us. If nothing else, we should be sure to kill any enemy scouts we can locate.

Are all our mines running at full capacity? Can we open more mines up near Quoth?

>>18198333
Upgrade the city? Again? We're a level three!
Maybe we should consider building another city to the south, increase our income further, pop warlords.
SPEAKING OF WHICH
What about our awesome level 4? Did we pop a new warlord there to replace her so we can move her, the Snubs, and the Levents to the capital?

>>18198331

You hold a parade the column cannot see from here, but it boosts morale considerably on the homefront.

>>18198333

What's the game plan then?

>>18198374
No, i meant it like a Military Parade, its a show of force, but with Ribbons.

>>18198369
why would we move the snubs? (the miners?)
Also, they still aren't swamp capable.

>>18198374
bedtime for me OP. Its late.

>>18198389

In Erfworld they are largely synonymous.

>>18198369

The Warlord pops on turn 21.

>>18198354

30d20 for the scouts.

You could possibly open more mines near Quoth, but you would have to survey it further.

>>18198405

Sweet dreams.

rolled 6, 2, 16, 18, 20, 11, 17, 8, 15, 17, 3, 2, 6, 1, 15, 20, 1, 12, 9, 12, 9, 4, 5, 16, 13 = 258

>>18198418
Do they have the units required to conduct those surveys? If not, what do they need to pop in order to quickly survey their surrounding area?

>>18198441

(They can figure it out.)

You have an idea of the position of naturally popping mounts in the Swamp.

Oh Boop, a lone Black Dwagon!

rolled 2, 13, 3, 4, 10, 9, 9, 5, 9, 13, 1, 15, 12, 14, 8, 20, 15, 15, 3, 4, 4, 10, 3, 11, 6 = 218

>>18198418
Dice, and pop some bwisps to scout Quoth

>>18198468
well fuck me, how far away?

>>18198468
We can get so much exp for that thing, or even capture it!

What kind of forces we have in interception range?

>>18198491

About 40 hexes.

>>18198501

Other than Bwisps? You could only scramble Gwiffon riders at the moment.

>>18198502
Frank on megologwiffen, Whisper, archers, and demons to go and CAPTURE it. We want it for Frank's new ride.

>>18198508

Pop 50 Bwisps, hop on a Gwiffon or our Megalogwiff, we capture that fucker this turn. We shall name it Smaug!

>>18198515
Archons too, smoke em if we got them you know~

>>18198531
whoa! Why are you popping bwisps? We have tons and a lookamancer. Don't do that.

>>18198534
As long as they're doing Foolamancy or something. Not fighting.

>>18198535

For a big stack of 50 so we arrive this turn. If we go with anything slower it takes 2 turns to get there and just as long to get back. Khan's at our capital in 3 turns or less. "Reinforcements" are moving at an unknown speed.

If we pop 50 Bwisps, put them under Frank, and tackle the big bastard this turn we got it.

>>18198535
Cannon fodder, he expects them to form a wall of bwisp between us and the dragon.

It's not a bad plan.

>>18198557
But Bwisps are weakling scout units, not cannon fodder. No matter how many of them we have they'll be practically useless in battle unless we stack an absurd number of bonuses on them- and we don't have an absurd number of bonuses to hit them with.

>>18198572

A normal warlord bonus makes them fight like basic infantry. That's enough for them to serve as a shield/distraction while we capture the Dwagon.

>>18198557
That's a terrible idea. They can't carry frank and they aren't fighters or cannon fodder.

>>18198596

Transylvito does it, why can't we?

>>18198584
No. We don't need basic infantry and we don't need Frank acting as a tank. They aren't bats, they're bwisps. We have an air force and we're going to use it.

>>18198572
Well we have a chief warlord, archons, and gwiffs to back them up.

It's just to pad OUR chances, not the bwisps.

>>18198601
Because they have hundreds and it's a waste of money. Also, bwisps don't work like that.

>>18198608

So your alternative to my plan that's done in two turns is a corollary that sends away our entire air force for four turns when the khan's airforce will take less time than that to reach us?

>>18198613
No. We have more than enough with Frank, Whisper, archers, 3 gwiffons, a megalogwiffon, archons, and demons. It'll be hard not to accidentally croak it rather than capture it.

>>18198620
Your plan wouldn't get anyone anywhere any faster. Bwisps don't affect our movement speed. They aren't mounts.

>>18198620
how are you thinking your plan gets it done in 2 turns?

>>18198626
If we do croak it, it's a huge EXP windfall.

Just saying. It's a no lose situation here. Unless we take more than 2 turns that is. Then we are fucked.

>>18198634

We're going without the Daemons, just the Bwisps and whoever we mount on Gwiffons with us on the Megalogwiff. We have over 40 move. The Daemons and Archons have less than 30 move.

>>18198643
and again, that's a fucking terrible idea. Demons have natural turnamancy and you're putting Frank into danger with nothing but bwisps to protect him. You're going to end the game.

>>18198643
that wouldn't kill or capture a dwagon. We be committing suicide.

>>18198659

The Daemons arrive the next Turn after we've subdued it or brought it back to our place. Besides we can upgrade the Bwisps to Heavies if we need to.

You're going to end the game by committing our airforce to not intercepting the incoming enemy stack.

The megologwifs can carry backup.

>>18198674
no I'm not. We can get back next turn with taking demons. We need them in the battle to turn the dwagon. It's just like when we captured the megalogwiffen. Frank can't take a dwagon no matter how many bwisps you stack him with. Upgrading them to heavies just makes them cost more, it doesn't make them fight better. They have a combat of 1. Archons have foolamancy, demons have turnamancy.

>>18198663

Frank + Megalogwiff + 50 Bwisps = Stack and leadership bonuses all around

Fuck ton of bonuses + Frank + Megalogwiff > Dwagon

>>18198693
Wrong. 50 bwisps upgraded doesn't make them better fighters. They'd be fodder that gets eaten followed by Frank.

>>18198692

No you can't. You cannot go 40 Hexes, then come back 40 Hexes, with units that have moves that come to less than 30 stuck in your stack.

>>18198693
We aren't Translyvito,and bwisps aren't bats. It doesn't work out. Not to mention, in the comic, the bats lost to the dwagons.

>>18198704
Yes we can. We have Liam.

>>18198709

The bats lost to 30+ Dwagons with Leadership Bonuses, stack bonuses, KISS knights using dance fighting, and Stanley with the Arkenhammer with huge ass bonuses on top of that.

We have no confirmation that Bwisps aren't like anyway bats. Bats are weaker than infantry, so are Bwisps, and they're both crazy cheap.

OP, Frank, Whipser, archers stack on megalo belly, Abigail, demons, and a stack of Archons, all boosted by Liam after the black dwagon to CAPTURE.

It seems that I can make you fight amongst yourselves by dropping something nice or dangerous nearby. Mwahahahahaha.

To the Titan Cave!

>>18198729
Yes we do. The fact that bwips, unlike bats aren't free spawning. And the fact that we don't turn them into good fighters with our bonuses. They are scouts.

>>18198732

>>18198732

Roll d100's ladies and gents.

>>18198775

rolled 63 = 63

>>18198786

I am annoyed by this poutyness. You and now soloing the Dwagon.

Just kidding. But seriously, this is a collaborative quest thread and you all usually think each other's ideas are stupid and argue for turns while doing effectively nothing. Figure it out amongst yourselves one way or another.

>>18198775
I will not accept any dice roll for the idea of send our whole air force instead of bwisps. I'm the one arguing that and I have not and will not roll.

>>18198806
IT's foolishness! Just tell him that bwisps don't work as bats (because they don't) and be done with it.

>>18198816
>>18198807

I'm done for tonight.

I take the time out of my evenings to provide you with a fun game to play. I do not come to be dictated to by players ordering me to resolve their disputes with one another in the way they want them to be resolved. If you want to ask me something that's cool. If you really, really are lost I might toss you hints or try and prod you along into doing something or other, but I do not sit for this kind of thing at the gaming table when I GM anything, not for my friends, and not for strangers over the internet. If my players cannot resolve things between themselves without making petulant demands of me then I am done.

So when is next thread?

>>18198816
>>18198807
Good job.

OP
>>18198816
This guy is being petulant and argumentative. but he does have a point we have a real dispute about the rules and what could work and if you answer the question of FACT one way or the other i bet the side that has the wrong understanding will back down just like most of the arguments that you actually clarified the rules on. Plus most of the arguments have been because one or possibly all people aren’t on the same page rules wise. There is only 1 thing I saw that was a real dispute on tactics not what fundamentally how the rules work.

if you do throw up your hands at this would you be ok is someone else ran a similar game possibly with your rules?

Well, this quest died with a whimper.

Maybe next time, people won't be so afraid to loose an imaginary game.

Bump!

May as well let the rest of /tg/ see a thread full of crybabies.
