"If you wish to embark upon the path of the demon summoner, you must keep in mind the following: despite their role in mythology as indescribable horrors from some form of purgatory, and despite many of their unique abilities, demons as we know them are as much beings of flesh and blood as your average human, elf, dwarf, or anything else.

"Also keep in mind that while demons are theorized to hail from a different dimension (which is itself attached to our own reality like a parasitic lamprey to the side of a trout), they do NOT have any innately unique qualities that make them any more susceptible to being magically bound to your will than other beings of similar magical fiber.

"What makes demonic summoning feasible, however, is that they fall under the category of extraplanar beings, similar to elementals and other summonable creatures. Since the demons' home dimension is so closely aligned to our own, it's a relatively simple matter to temporarily punch a hole in the barrier, grab a demon, and bring it here.

"The hard part, of course, is everything else. You must be lucky enough to summon something strong enough to be worth the effort, and yet weak enough that it won't rip your head off, tear open a new hole in reality, and bring the rest of its friends over for a blood-soaked rampage through your village.

"If you're REALLY lucky, though, you either 1) have some sort of artifact that allows you to easily enslave something stronger than yourself, 2) find an easily-tricked demon isolated from the rest of its brethren, or 3) all of the above."

After quite a few weeks of build-up, preparation, and some unexpected hitches, the battle between the ogres' very first allies and their mortal enemies is finally underway.

Led by their great prophet, the Yellow Ant, the roiling, eerily synchronized mass of Formichroma warriors charge toward the waiting ranks of the Scaratone. Here and there, squads of ogres stand tall on the front lines, towering over their beetle-men allies. Behind the front lines are the Felpowder Elves, who compensate for their smaller numbers by wielding the only (real) firearms to be found for miles. Behind THEM are the ogres' wild-card spellcasters, who are guarding the Scaratone Queen from harm. And somewhere underneath it all are a small group of dwarven engineers, who have left many nasty surprises for the Formichroma to find the hard way...

... and right now, Boss Bawss Fistboss, boss of the ogres, is ignoring all of that as he glares daggers at the Yellow Ant, clear across the battlefield. Just before the prophet retreated behind his ranks of soldiers, he revealed that he wields the cursed sword Coreweaver, which is in fact some kind of terrifying spider demon who once lived in the bowels of the earth.

The only problem is that this is a terrifying spider demon that Boss Bawss Fistboss thinks of as a nice person, and a new friend ("friend" being best described as "someone who Boss Bawss was willing to give a happy ogre-ish hug to.") Boss Bawss is also reasonably certain that Coreweaver isn't exactly happy about this state of affairs.

To Boss Bawss Fistboss, an ogre leader of many morals, that just rustles his jimmies like nothing else.

Currently, Boss Bawss Fistboss is piloting his Ogretek Armor, and is command of a small squadron of vulture-like Patchwings and Solar-Powered Skeletons (it's complicated).

The Formichroma have just started charging, and have yet to reach melee range; the Scaratones (and everyone else) are holding their positions.

Well. As soon as we have the chance, we need to charge the Prophet, grab the Coreweaver sword, and use Ogre-ness to release Coreweaver from imprisonment by binding her to the Ogretek armor instead. Thus, Coreweaver and Bawss can lay the beatdown on the prophet together.

Of course, we'll let her out immediately after the battle. We're friends, after all.

But for now, we need to use our wits.

That sounds like a challenge to me. GET THE MAP!

Seriously, that map is insta'win. Use the map!
>>
>>24326652
How in the hell would the map help us free Coreweaver?
>>
>>24326702
Easy. We draw Coreweaver on the map. She can't be in two places at once, can she?
>>
>>24326702
By drawing a giant spider demon on the map and name it Coreweaver, we just might free her.
Or summon another giant demon-spider.
>>
>>24326775
>>24326746
This could backfire horribly or just not work. A good krumpin' should do the trick just fine.
>>
>>24326821
But then Coreweaver can't help with the krumpin'! That's not Ogre Justice!
>>
>>24326775

Hmmm... how to free Coreweaver... gotta think like an Ogre.

Prophet stabs Ogretek armor. Sword gets stuck. Sword, and Coreweaver, are therefore technically part of Bawss's armor, so we can let her out at anytime. Job done.
>>
>>24326843

She can help krump after.

The fact that you think this is an argument AGAINST doing something shows me you don't get how Ogre Quest works.

That is an excellent argument FOR something.

>>24326932
I'm more against it because the dice love us enough without outright cheating. Using that map that way feels dirty.

This has potential to be extremely Ogreish.

Lead the charge!
>>
>>24327000
Guys, guys. . . It takes too long for Ogres to draw.

Do you really want Boss Bawsss out of the action for twenty minutes while he gets out his crayons and tries to draw Coreweaver?
>>
>>24327050

As funny as that sounds, no.
>>
>>24326963
Oh, c'mon. It'll be fucking hilarious!

Yellow Ant was all "I am the Chosen One"
"I am invincible"
"I wield the sword of Dues Ex Machina"
"Blah, blah, blah, I'm just awesome and great and super special"

Then, before the action even starts, "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO MY SWORD?"

That's why you shouldn't make a boring opening monolog revealing the secrets of your magic weapons, dumbass!

Boss Bawss Fistboss narrows his eyes as he watches the Yellow Ant stand stock still, allowing the Formichroma troops to flow past him. It's not hard to intuit the prophet's plan: put an army between him and the enemy. If things start going south, or if there's a chance for him to strut his stuff, the Yellow Ant can jump in and support the Formichroma as needed. More importantly, keeping to the back of the army will just about put the Yellow Ant out of reach for most of the battle.

In an instant, Boss Bawss realizes four things:

1) He simply cannot allow the Yellow Ant to get away.
2) For once in his life, he is very, very mad.
3) Someone is yelling very loudly. To his surprise, it's him.
4) He has already started moving.

"NNNNNRRRRAAAA-"

The battle, barely under way as it is, nearly grinds to a halt as a titanic roar seems to shake the earth itself, sowing momentary terror among both sides and causing everyone to look around for its source.

"- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

Those with the presence of mind to look UP then can't help but gawk as a rather large ogre clad in even bigger enchanted armor hurtles through the air, almost as if the laws of physics (and any meticulously laid-out plans and strategies) were nothing but an afterthought.

"-AAAAAAAAAAARRRR-"

T-minus five seconds before impact, the Yellow Ant's armored head snaps up, his large eyes widening even further as he wraps his mind around the size, velocity, and the sheer impossibility of the THING headed his way, and starts scrambling away with almost indecent haste.

"-RRRRRROOOOO- oh."

T-minus three seconds before impact, Boss Bawss snaps out of his haze of rage, stares down at the rapidly-approaching Formichroma ranks (and the individual soldiers staring right back at him with mounting horror), and very calmly realizes that he isn't sure if his armor is durable enough to withstand the impact.

Well, there's only one way to find out.

So you're saying that you want Bawss, currently shaking with rage over the treatment of his friend, to stop everything in the middle of battle to get out his map and crayons to draw Coreweaver, actively using the reality warping power that typically works for Ogres because they don't really understand what they're doing?

Obviously we locked the missiles onto Yellow Ant, fired our jetboots to land, as we painted all nearby formichroma in flamethrowers, burning them to death. Their screams muted by the heavy metal elven music from the future about how Ogres burn all their enemies and destroy the world (because Ogres, fuck yeah, melting your brains and burning your world away!) and launching the pyrotechnic display to create a wall of fire between the two armies.

And then the missiles launched.

In an instant, Boss Bawss Fistboss makes his decision. And at that moment, the larger ogre mashes both hands against every single button on the dashboard for the armored suit that he doesn't quite recall how to duplicate, having slapped together mundane and magical objects and ended up with a sum far greater than its component parts-

Years later, no two veterans of this battle will be able to accurately describe what the Ogretek Armor did at that moment. No matter how close the veterans were to the scene in question, no matter which side or faction they belonged to, and no matter how much alcohol the veterans imbibed while telling this part of the story, NO two people could ever agree on a single, unified description of Boss Bawss's actions.

Thousands of miles away, certain esteemed magi or those with a certain magical/psionic sensitivity very nearly passed out as the very fabric of reality seemed to rip itself apart and sew itself back together in the very same instant. Even those without any talent in magic stumbled, feeling the ground beneath them shudder AND remain perfectly still AND jump a few hundred yards to the left, all at once. The highest echelons of certain civilizations, already mildly terrified by that inexplicable dicking of the time half of the space-time continuum, nearly went into conniptions as the space half suddenly decided to step out for a quick jaunt to the metaphysical convenience store, taking along its good pals physics, Euclidean geometry, and sanity.

Elsewhere, a good many two-bit evil cults took this as a cue to ramp up their nefariously annoying, mildly evil plots, opening a lot of jobs for many rookie adventurers over the next few weeks. Elsewhere ELSE, one group in particular also took reality's shitting itself as a cue to ramp up its own nefariously annoying plot, refining it into something liable to give most civilizations a pretty big headache somewhere along the line... but that's neither here nor there, of course.

Here and now, those unfortunate Formichroma standing in the way of Boss Bawss Fistboss's Ogretek Armor are absolutely entranced and terrified by the way reality seems to fracture around the ten foot tall mech, splits along the seams revealing shrieking drill bits, strange metal boxes unleashing thousands of cloud-trailing missiles, charging beams of pure light, and more bizarrely-articulated blades than anyone has room for, /all of these space-intensive weapons impossibly sharing the same amounts of space on the robot/. Everything is impossibly jutting out of the Ogretek Armor, making it look like blades on the Swiss Army Knife to end all Swiss Army Knives.

Having barely managed to scramble away from the chaos, the Yellow Ant is flung away like a rag doll as the impact site actually detonates in a fiery cataclysm, hurling wailing Formichroma soldiers every which way. The prophet, wincing and shielding his eyes against the glow and the smoke, struggles to regain his footing-

- only to gape as the smoke cloud /bulges outward/, framing two pairs of eyes- one pair glowing and mechanical, and one pair ogre-y and really quite grumpy.

Bereft of his guards, and any backup close enough to run interference, the Yellow Ant swiftly draws Coreweaver and aims a slash at Boss Bawss Fistboss, moving again with that terrifying burst of speed he'd shown in the depths of Daphnaia.

I think you may have misunderstood, and I apologize if I'm wrong on that, but all doubles are folded into their own separate category. So rolling an 11 nets you the same effect as an 99.
>>
>>24329467
Yes, I knooooow.
Everyone says that. My point is not that doubles aren't good, but that doubles aren't as good as a 1 or 100, which could net us a war win by, you know, ripping all the prophet's arms off and having him bleed to death in one shot, instead of just getting the sword.

I feel pretty bad for Yellow Ant to be honest. In any other place he'd be the hero.

Pretty sure a 1 or a 100 would stand a better chance of us punching him onto our side. Doubtful on the outright ending the war bit, this is but a small fraction of their empire (I think).

>>24329525
Doubles are better than a 1. 100 is super-effective, but likely with a side dish of hilarious results.

And you've got a gambling problem if you think we'll throw away any doubles.

It would depend, I think, on whether or not the Formichroma's Prophet survives this war.

Eh. There are always new prophets or those that will use the fallen as martyrs to their cause (recruiting tools/justification for increased hostilities). Who knows, killing him might well cause the formichroma to double down on the war effort and go out of their way to antagonize the ogres. So you're right, if Yellow ant survives the war but returns home a broken shell of a prophet, the war might well have run it's course. If we kill him the cycle of violence continues.

"The dance begins anew!"

The many-eyed, mandibled sword screams through the air as it arcs right toward Boss Bawss's head, causing the larger ogre's eyes to widen. Perhaps the Yellow Ant expected Boss Bawss to catch the blow on his mech's arm, and the duel would go on from there; maybe the Yellow Ant was channeling magic to make the demon sword sprout a forest of sharp-edged metal legs to impale the ogre on.

What he DIDN'T expect was for Boss Bawss Fistboss to /raise his fleshy arm and let the sword cut into it/.

For one timeless moment, both combatants hand in the air, the Yellow Ant's sword 'buried' in Boss Bawss's arm as deep as a papercut. Frowning in confusion, the prophet exerts pressure, but it's no use- it's almost as if Coreweaver is lodged in stone.

The Yellow Ant's eyes suddenly blaze furiously as he comes to a belated realization. "Coreweaver, you-!"

"NOPE," Boss Bawss rumbles, punching the Formichroma the face with his mech's fist.

There's a frenzied moment as the Yellow Ant is bowled head over heels, a streak of ichor raining onto the ground behind him; the Ogretek Armor executes a ten-point landing, clutching the prophet's dismembered segmented arm in a large articulated fist.

... and Boss Bawss Fistboss, holding a suddenly-sanguine demon sword, finds himself in the midst of the Formichroma army, which has just barely managed to rally itself back together and is staring at the larger ogre with fearful eyes.

>[X] [INTIMIDATE] You just ripped the arm off their prophet!
>[X] [CHASE] Your business with the Yellow Ant ain't over yet!
[X] [???] ... BECAUSE IT'S TIME TO DIPLOMATICIZE THE FUCK OUT OF HIM

For a few quiet moments, no one on either side moves, the silence broken only by the distant sound of Scaratone ranks smashing into the somewhat-reduced Formichroma lines. Boss Bawss Fistboss turns to look curiously at each Formichroma in turn, while the admittedly brave ant-like soldiers stand their ground, not sure what they can do against this- this THING.

Eventually, one of the war-leaders stands to the fore, clearly building up its courage and looking like it's about to rally the troops-

"So."

The mere SOUND of Boss Bawss's voice is enough to break the Formichroma's resolve. But the ogre continues, raising the Yellow Ant's dismembered arm.

"I'm gonna give him a hand now. If you interfere, there is no word for how 'ard I am gonna krump you."

Boss Bawss pauses.

"... okay, there is a word, an' dat word is 'SUPER-krump,' but you know wot I mean. So do we got a deal, or do we got a deal?"

Without waiting for an answer, the larger ogre turns and marches his mech in the direction of the Yellow Ant, the ranks of Formichroma parting to make way for him. Boss Bawss Fistboss only makes it a few steps before he has to block the Yellow Ant's shield-first charge with the Ogretek Armor's arms, the prophet's shield shrieking as metal skids against metal.

"Brute-beast!" the Yellow Ant snarls, his eyes blazing. "This is not how you conduct a war, you, you, /double heathen/-"

He's interrupted as Boss Bawss gently grabs the Yellow Ant's head and holds him down in a sitting position, only letting go when the Formichroma sullenly stops struggling. Then, without a word, the larger ogre sticks Coreweaver blade-first into the ground, right across from the Yellow Ant.

"What is this, brute-beast?" the Yellow Ant chitters suspiciously, clutching the stump of its arm. "An execution? How DARE you consider the battle won when-"

"Nope," Boss Bawss rumbles, ignoring the Yellow Ant's sudden tensing-up as it anticipates another arm-ripping punch. "We're gonna have a chat."

There's a moment of baffled silence.

"But- but- this is insane! We're in the middle of a BATTLE!" the Formichroma Prophet all but wails, pointing his remaining arm at the ongoing skirmish. "What do you even want me to-"

"Nah, not to me. To da lady," Boss Bawss interrupts.

"The- what?"

In response, Boss Bawss Fistboss tilts his head at the demon sword stuck in the ground, which seems to be quivering happily at being called a lady. "Coreweaver. We had a nice long chat right before ya came, you know," he continues, completely conversationally. "An' she ain't happy with da way you're running things."

"What? But she is a horrible /god of fear/ that preyed on my- no, wait, how did you even TALK to her!?" The Yellow Ant shrieks, his eyes flicking back and forth as he tries desperately to keep up with the conversation.

"She's a demon spider, an' she's kinda lonely," Boss Bawss rumbles with all the implacability of an ongoing avalanche. "Ever since ya stopped feedin' her your sacrifices like you used to, an' started using her as a tool of fightin' instead of takin' to da temple-"

"Those days are over," the Yellow Ant chitters firmly. There's a ring of fascinated soldiers watching the conversation now, their heads tilting back and forth as they keep pace with whoever's talking. Around them, more soldiers continue pouring past, running to reinforce their line against the Scaratones. "We keep truck with no capricious gods! We rely on our own strength, now, and our own prophecies! We are not going back to the dark ages of meaningless sacrifices to fill her- her endless pit of a stomach!!"

Boss Bawss frowns. "Dat's not nice to talk 'bout a lady's weight like dat-"

"WHY DO YOU CALL IT A LADY!?" the Yellow Ant screams, pulling at his antennae in frustrated confusion.

Boss Bawss pauses. Looks like this's a little more complicated than he thought it would be.

Give a speech about demons being people too. If possible, get some elves there to hear it as well, just so they can have their heads explode at the same time.

Then propose a compromise. Maybe, no more sacrifices, but still, you know, check in every so often, beg for mercy, all the other stuff.
>>
>>24330815
Calmly what for him to continue talking, before turning to CoreWeaver for her opinion.
Make sure she can give it, but tell her that she isn't to eat or attack anyone, and if she does, it'll end badly for everyone.

Then, get them to talk about their feelings, eventually reconciling them, before talking to the crowd of soldiers and giving an emotional message about how god and being are suppose to be a team.

"Cause she's a lady. It's paw-light. Now, 'ere's da t'ing. You don't wants to sacriofice people ta feeds her. And that's okay. But that don't mean you can sacrifice others ta feed the bottomless pit of your pride an' need for revenge, see? Krumpin' jus' leads ta more krumpin'. Instead yous gots ta krump 'em good, then make 'em sit down, an' talk things over. Because maybe yous don't want to be slaves to fear.

Boss Bawss gathers his thought in his own implacably plodding ogre-like way. And then he nods, as if the Formichroma Prophet has just hit upon a really good point.

"Well, ya see, I call her a lady 'cause she IS a lady- but wot's REALLY at stake here is all dis talk of sacrificing things."

"Exactly!" the Yellow Ant snaps, bristling. "We are NOT going back to hurling perfectly good soldiers into the maw as sacrifices-"

"But you burnt down your own perfectly good boys back in Daphnaia when you did dat whole possession thing, right?" Boss Bawss cuts in.

THAT stops the prophet short. "... an unavoidable side-effect of the direct control process," the Yellow Ant mutters, the edge taken off his Righteous Anger.

"An' you're sacrificing your boys an' everyone fightin' you for revenge-"

"To right past wrongs, brute-beast," the Formichroma Prophet hisses dangerously, his Righteous Anger back in full force. "You know not of what you speak!"

>>24332130
Boss Bawss holds his hands up soothingly, making a mental note to come and probe THAT sore spot a little later. And perhaps with more tact. "Look, wot you were sayin' earlier was dat you wanna krump all da Scaratones, right? 'Til there are no more Scaratones left?"

"Of course," the insectoid being chitters, more in control of himself now. In fact, he seems almost serene, sitting with four legs folded under him and his remaining arm resting on his lap. "Justice demands such a result."

"Dat ain't happenin'," Boss Bawss growls, raising his voice over the Yellow Ant's protests. "Krumpin' just leads to more krumpin'! It only ends when ya krump da other side, an' then ya sit 'em down AND TALK. THINGS. OVER." Each word is almost its own thunderclap. "An' dat's why I came 'ere to talk," Boss Bawss continues into the silence, his voice back to its usual deceptively simple tone. "You an' Queenie back there, I'm sure we can all get to an agreement. Got it?"

The Yellow Ant stares for a long, long moment. And then he runs his hand along an antennae, deep in thought. "... let me get this straight, brute-beast. You ran through the ENTIRETY of my army, risking life and limb and most of reality... just to have a casual, friendly chat with the enemy leader who wants nothing more than to cleanly cut your head off at the neck, cut off the Scaratone Queen's head off at the neck, and purge the usurpers from these lands."

Boss Bawss scratches his head, scrunching up his face. "... yah?"

(Cont.)
>>
>>24332142
If the Yellow Ant had two hands, he would be cradling his face in them right now. "... you are truly the most terrifying fool in the world."

"-- oh, one more thing." Boss Bawss picks up Coreweaver, causing the Yellow Ant to tense up again. "'Ere, do you really need a buncha sacrifices to be happy?" The ogre tilts his head, listening to an inaudible voice. "... no? You only took 'em 'cause they were for free, an' they were crunchy?"

After a few more moments of listening, Boss Bawss nods and sticks the demon sword back in the ground, turning back to the Yellow Ant. "Yah, she says she don't need sacrifices to be real happy. I'm sure we can work somethin' out without ya treatin' da lady like a big ol' hittin' stick."

The Yellow Ant stares once more. "... you were talking to her," he mutters. "How were you talking to her? You held the sword for /one minute/ and you can talk to her. I have been using Coreweaver for years, and I can barely- /how/??" he groans, tugging at his antennae in distress.

Boss Bawss shrugs. "... I got a way with talkin'?" he hazards.

"Fine! Fine, we'll talk," the Yellow Ant groans, throwing up his hand into the air. "Only because you are so incredibly /crazy/ that you /managed/ something like this in the /first/ place, brute-beast-heathen-madman!!"

Boss Bawss breathes a sigh of relief. Alright, that's part one done. Now he'll just go and talk to Queen Kilkkarak and the others, and they'll figure out where to go from here-

And then the cavern is rocked from end to end as a TITANIC explosion knocks the rearguard of the Formichroma army into the air, heralding the arrival of some kind of terrifying drill machine.

"HA! HA! HA!" a dwarven voice cackles out of a hidden speaker. A compartment on the side of the machine opens up, revealing a familiarly bearded face and more lit explosives than can be counted on one hand. "THE CALVARY HAS WELL AND BLOODY ARRIVED, YOU FILTHY LAYABOUTS!" Lockstock the miner-slash-dwarven-prince roars, at least five sticks of dynamite fizzing away in his beard, the fires of LIQUID COURAGE burning in his eyes.

... right. Right, the dwarves were assigned to pull off damaging and unforeseen hit-and-run attacks on the flanks of the Formichroma army, weren't they.

As one, the Formichroma turn to glare at the ogre sitting in their midst, the Yellow Ant's glare hot enough to burn a hole right through Boss Bawss Fistboss. The larger ogre scratches his head uneasily.

"... well, shit."

Well, remember Ryagmos, the big angry undead bone drake in Thread 3? I'd intended her to be a possible ally, being a native to the desert and old and (probably) wise and all.

And then came the first bad roll when it came to encountering her, which meant that I ended up tweaking her personality to... you know. Include the lovely hobby of collecting bones by ripping them out of living creatures.

And then there was the tech roll that turned Ogir Place into a flying oasis. And the turning of Scaratones into allies.

Go figure; I'd never have guessed that. Kudos to you for, ahem, rolling with it, even when you had other plans. That's what makes this quest so amazing.

I'd have guessed something less dice-y and more unexpected-mass-response-y, like the rampant diplomancing.

... also, hats are a thing I need to come back to, since it was a pretty big part of ogre culture back in the day. (And then it's gradually shifted over to BEFRIENDING EVERYTHING, so). I'm not sure what else I can do with hats at this point in time!

Once the Formichroma arc(?) is done, though, I'll try to devote some time to building up the Civ again (and making what we've done with the Civ aspect more important).

Yeah, between EVO Quest and this quest, I've... come to accept the fact on a /tg/ quest, anything goes, so I've gotten used to (and really depend on) just rolling with things.

Or maybe that's just the way I run things. Before EVO Quest, I actually completely and utterly failed to get a quest off the ground here, 'cause everyone scored a max roll and I didn't roll with the results well enough to keep people interested. Guess that pretty much solidified how I run quests nowadays.

>I'd have guessed something less dice-y and more unexpected-mass-response-y, like the rampant diplomancing.

Actually, that's USUALLY easier to roll with, since you guys tend to back up your rampant diplomancing decisions with some pretty reasonable outlines for how to proceed. This was actually the first time it threw me off my game, because we COMPLETELY CONVERTED an all-out battle/war scenario into BLAST THROUGH THE ARMY TO TALK THE FUCK OUTTA THE ENEMY LEADER, and I wasn't sure how to properly transition out of it, especially not this late in the thread.

Blorp, exactly how bad off are our elves? I mean, on a scale of "needs a drink" to "the ogres make perfect sense"?

I'm slightly worried that our friendship mixed with OGRE is doing more harm then good.

Can our allies retain their sanity in the face of, well, ogre?
>>
>>24332982
What is sanity, really? If you persist in believing the world works a certain way contrary to reality and OGRES, are you sure you're the sane one?
>>
>>24332982
You know I get feeling that Celicia has hit the point where she just goes with the flow of it all. I mean look back on the spider-demon meeting.

Plus, Blorp don't ruin this for me, I see Celicia having a huge shit eating grin when Boss went into rage mode.

If she can deal with it. The rest can in time.
>>
>>24333041
Well, Celicia was a hardened soldier, left on a suicide mission when it was decided their plan was not going to work.

I'm not entirely sure she really cared what happens anymore BEFORE we met her.
>>
>>24332982
I wouldn't worry too much about the elves. Remember, they're stupidly adaptable because of their magically sensitive nature (which is why you have like a gazillion almost-redundant variety of elf, ranging from Wood Elves to Dark Elves/Drowthings to High Elves to those unfortunate enough to have become the Festive Elves up near the North Pole- too weak to prevent themselves from being enslaved into toy sweatshops).

... but yeah, on that scale, I'd say the majority of the first elves (those who were originally stationed with Celicia at Daphnaia) are around "Ha Ha Ha Sense Make Ogres Drink Needs Yes Perfect Okay Where's My Fucking Alcohol Please Yes Good."
>>
>>24333082
Huh.
Better then I'd feared.

We should probably start getting the Elves some leave time taking shifts as ambassadors to the Scaratones. You know, to let them seep into some sort of sensical place where reality isn't being constantly bucked.

Or invest in our booze technology. Either one, really.

What do you think about the mess that is Gubbins playing with time?

What about the other characters in the quest so far, like the Earth/Earthquake god guy and Squiggles the BeastMaster? Are they gonna come back in?

Are we ever gonna send Ogre Place up against something of similar size in a wonderful/horrible mixture of EVA, Gurren Lagann, Megas XLR, transformers, etc?

Has it all become a swirling blur of Ogres, whenever you even think about this Civ Quest?
>>
>>24333266
I just had a terrible idea. Time Magic + Boozemancy = Counterwise wine.

"Ugh, I have such a hangover. And it's strange, I didn't even drink last night."
"Hey elfys! I made dis here special wine wit' me time magics! Dat way it's ready ta drink right away, cause it ferments after ya done drinkin' it! Whose wanna trys it?"
"Somehow I think these two things are related."

>Gubbins and Time
A mild sense of impending doom, given what could happen when, in any given quest, you give /tg/ even limited access to time abuse shenanigans.

>Demigodman and Squiggles
The best answer I can give is "if need be."

I intended Ruoumoko to be an offshoot of Gubbins' skillset- like if/when the quest swaps to his POV for an event, [X] Summon Ruoumoko would be a choice- so he'll be around in a minor support capacity.

Squiggles was also an NPC intended to be on the same level as Gubbins, except... well, Gubbins kind of became THE EVERYTHING MAGIC guy, and so far, that tends to be a lot more useful than beast-whispering. I'm not sure how useful he'll be in the future, so we'll definitely see.

>Neon Genesis Tengen Toppa Ogir Place Transformers XLR
That's the intention, anyway! It's too delightfully terrifying to let it sit in the back and do nothing.

>Has it all become a swirling blur of Ogres, whenever you even think about this Civ Quest?

Well, if you wanna make Squiggles useful, you could take the horrific leap into making him recognizing that every race, apart from Dwarves, are classified as 'Beast Races'. Take from that what you will.

Anyway, more questions.
Are are you going to flesh out the Patchwings and skelly's anytime soon?

Is Ogre Place going to end up like some form of Metroplex, containing an entire city of people within it?

Are you planing on taking anymore elements from DotA, or maybe even LoL, in regards to adding more to the story?

Are you going to include more ditzy Goddess of Luck/God of Fate outtakes?

Yeah, as it stands if a species has the slightest hint of sentient intelligence or communication, we'll diplomance it instead. Squiggles shines with mole-rats or similar seemingly undiplomanceable things, and when he does have an opportunity like that, it's a sight to behold.
>>
>>24333525
He could become some sort of trainer. Or instructor. Maybe make units into "professionals"? Just spouting some ideas here.
>>
>>24333547
We still have the Patchwings to interact with more extensively, and with their fairly rudimentary (yet adorable) communication style (ogres? ogres!), perhaps Squiggles would be helpful to have along. Perhaps the Patchwings have some long-standing problems they've come to accept that he could help solve, or perhaps we just need an interpreter that realizes they're really some of the most eloquent beings alive in their native language.
>>
>>24333525
Aye, I wish actually saw more of him, but he really gets overshadowed by Gubbins and the Boss.

To be honest, I think the problem lies with the fact that we're in the middle of the desert, so he is kind of limited in what he can tame.
Also, Blorp, is Squiggles like Batrider?
>>
>>24333453
True, there SHOULD be more ridiculous animals in a ridiculous fantasy world like this. Depending on where the story goes, he'll definitely get a chance to shine in places with MANY more beasts.

>Patchwings and Skellies
Again, it depends! We haven't spent a whole lot of time with the Patchwings lately, and as for the Skellies, well, the Ziggurat they came from DID contain some info on them.

>Metroplex Ogir Place
... actually, something I keep forgetting to sneak into Start-Of-Turn Status Updates is the fact that no one really notices that Ogir Place has, completely of its own volition, steadily grown larger to accommodate the truly staggering number of beings living in it. Make of that what you will.

>DOTA/LoL
Not really! I've mostly set the world as a psychotic hodgepodge of fantasy tropes (for lack of a better word), and the only real inspiration I drew from DOTA (and/or Warcraft II/III) was how the ogres look, act, and sound. In terms of lore, DOTA and LoL are mostly their own beasts (DOTA with its tentative Radiant/Dire mystical energy meteorites thing, and LoL with its semi-fourth-wall summoner thing).

>Goddess of Luck/God of Fate
Nah. Like I wrote before I posted that segment, that's more a what-if sort of thing. If the gods come to the fore, the ogres' accomplishments and stupid luck fade to the back, and I want the focus to remain on the ogres as much as possible.

>hat
yes

>>24333572
>Squiggles Batrider?
If I had to hazard a guess, he's more like the bastard of Pokemon Rangers, SMT protagonists, and Dragon Quest Monsters... monster masters.

Well, of course. Ogres just kinda pop into existence and join Ogir Place, and dirt just kinda pops into existence and joins Ogir Place.

I seem to remember you ignoring my suggestion to call Ruo and use him in conjunction with the map to dump a small ocean into the tunnels of the Formi/or drop half the continent on them, then use Gubbins to turn time back for everyone ELSE except the Formichroma because OGRES..
>>
>>24333806
At this point, they're mixed in with the general troops! I mean, it's not like they kind of slipped my mind for the past two threads or anything, wahaha... ha.....

And on that note, im going to have to call it a night. Catch you all later!

See you next week, and thanks for the thread.

Well, to be fair, it didn't exactly get a majority vote behind it. (Also woulda required one helluva roll.)
