>>26045168
We need to clear out the majority of the area before moving into it. For all we know, there could be a lot more Blindmaws down there.

>>26045111
Begin the Great Migration. Before ferrying people to the ruin, let's have a small recon party go back to the abandoned ruin to plant torches in the entrance level. This will hopefully drive out the Blindmaws from that area and make it habitable.

Also, give Grantham, the gnome who created the Silence spell, a position as our chief magical researcher. (If this is a free action)

Prep shit to move to whatever place we're moving to.

>>26045220
Replace magic with community preparations. Harvest as many mushrooms as possible and this >>26045247

>>26045168
Aye.
Armor up, Pack up, and get ready to move out.

We need two things (other than the obvious) before we go:
1.weapons capable of hunting and exterminating those lizards... can't have those around no no.
2. Mages able to cast the silence spell. And enough of them so our journey to the ruin will at least not be heard. ever. We have babies we can't risk not being covert.

Also can someone archive the last thread if it hasn't been archived already?

>>26045247
Btw this was me

>>26045269
The silence spell doesn't eliminate all noise, just the majority of it. Just so you know.

We should work on that.

I vote to postpone the migration until we're ready.

>>26045356
And allow it to be overrun by somethingg else in the months we'll need to wait for the babes to mature? We can migrate soon, and it's better to do it sooner rather than later.

I stand by my original plan.

>>26045356
I second this.

Alright, I'm updating our info right now too.
Everything is packed, all the mushrooms are barreled, everyone who can be armed is armed, and our gnomes case silence over themselves to remain unheard.
Everyone gets comfortable in the guardhouses and barracks of the first floor (it's just barely big enough to hold everyone) before further direction from Zapson. Grantham is named the tribe's archmagister.
The loot is also examined upon arrival. The book was left in the courtroom for Aranax, but its functionality is already known. The staff seems to wield definite magic, but not even Grantham is able to intuit how to control or use it. The pickaxe seems able to exert far more force than is put behind it, and is very durable. This allows for much more breaking with hardly any work. The box will not open for anyone, and the pickaxe is unable to even scratch it. It is likely that without a knowledge of rune magic, both the staff and box will be useless to the Gnomes for now.

OP, on a scale of 1 being dwarf house and 10 being slaughterhouse, how dangerous is teh mountain?

>>26045425
Light fires around the first floor (guess this counts as improve settlement?)

Have Grantham research some sort of way to create a long burning magical fire or generate some sort of heat that will keep Blindmaws at bay

>>26045425

Upgrade Settlement:
Hunt down all the Blindmaws on this level (foooood). Or capture and attempt training, for mounts and war animals.
Either block or guard all entrances to the lower levels (no lizards sneaking in on us, no sir...)
begin cleaning and searching the place in guarded groups.

>>26045570
Sometime or another, I think we should check up on the mine level of this ruin. IIRC, that's where the goblins managed to break in. There may still be a breach in the mines, and we'll need to patch it up to make this place truly secure.

We should seal up that hole in the prison section

>>26045614
I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking that this would be a nice way to start metallurgy and it would be nice to break in that pickaxe.

>>26045614
I agree. But I take comfort in the fact that the awakening and exit of a mechanical dragon didn't stir them.
Doesn't mean they wont comeback thou.

I stick to my suggestion.

>>26045684
Let's hope not! I was also wondering how people feel about the possibility of using one of the floors for mushroom cultivation. I'm sure we can use the Blindmaw corpses as nutrients to be able to grow mushrooms in the mines, which might be suitably dark and damp.

>>26045425

The first floor is secured with only two Gnomes being eaten.. Dwarven architecture was actually quite advanced, and via a system of furnaces the interior of the mountain can be lit and heated. There is a furnace on each level. With the heating of the furnaces the Blindmaws will grow uncomfortable and probably flee through the breach in the prison mines.
I love Gnomes being smart, because it makes shit like this easy. Orcs or trolls would be stumbling around retardedly, unable to figure out what a furnace is.
The Gnomes realize quickly that to the Blindmaws, certain temperatures are registered as edible (a Gnome's body temperature would be one) and certain temperatures mean 'holy fuck it's like a sauna in here, peace bitch'.

Grantham experiments with magic and fire, and learns how to use magic to make fires sustain themselves indefinitely, which is very practical but not quite able to be weaponized.

As a note, by day the Gnomes will have to defend themselves, but at night while Aranax is present, he will defend his home. You're basically living in a dragon's lair.

We should secure a reliable source of food like farming within our sanctuary and further explore our new decrepit home

Don't want no surprises when we go out and explore

>>26045830
>living in a dragon's lair.
I like that this makes us more secure, and not in imminent danger
>Light the furnace.
>Secure level two.

>>26045830
Magic, duh

>>26045869
For the time being, it seems that while we kill Blindmaws, we can use them as food and future fertilizer. I think we can probably work on the food source in a couple of turns, once we clear out the place.
Also, I would like to know if we will be able to access the Noble Residential Area. I think it was locked last time we tried.

>>26045830
Guntech research it.
Tech- clothing that prevents a gnomes body heat from being seen.
We can allow a section of the first level to grow cool and kill the blind maws that show up.

>>26045966
I don't know about using blindmaws

They're carnivores and way WAY bigger than us and can ravage us if we're not careful. Farming them sounds like a very risky move. I think we should farm some creature that is smaller than us to make it easier

>>26045966
Can we ask the dragon to melt the door down?

>>26045971
I think we should just do that with the mines and use it as a mob grinder and mine for resources.

>>26045966

You'd have to find a key

You are able to take two actions now, or a single action twice.

>>26046006

>yfw suddenly you're playing Minecraft, gnome edition

>>26045971
Changing my answer.
If it takes an action light the furnace for this level. And then guntech.
If not guntech twice.

>>26046035
This should be a mod. Polite sage because it doesn't contribute to the thread.

>>26045999
I agree they're terrifying but they're also big, fast, have amazing smelling capabilities, and could carry a gnome no problem.
We're too few to farm 'em now. but later....

I vote magic research in the direction of lighting those furnaces. and offensive magic

>>26045830
Upgrade: Build a small palisade or redoubt outside as a first line of defense.

Explore: The mines. We can see the breach for urselves and also survey what kinds of metals are available. Bring some torches using Grantham's fire and also go with a decently sized warband for safety.

>>26045830

The second level furnace is lit, and that area is now free of blind maws and everything in it is visible.
Zapson and Grantham study the gun, and being Gnomes they immediate figure out its workings and mechanisms, being able to disassemble and reassemble it several times without breaking it. Zapson even has some ideas about how to improve the gun's accuracy, and Grantham wonders what might be accomplished if he bound runes to the rounds....

I'll repeat my last post at >>26046075
since I think it was too late to get counted

>>26046094
We start mining

>>26046094

In case it is not apparent, the first two levels are lit and thus secured, and it takes an action to light a furnace because that is an upgrade to your settlement. You may eventually go about repairing the residential area, or even one day making the city completely functional again, returned to its former glory.

>>26046094
Lets take the next turn researching magic and thouroughly cleaning/searching these two safe levels.
We might find something useful.

1. Research Magic
2. Clean/search the first two levels

On a side note have we secured a food source? Does the training grounds/arena have dirt in it?

>>26046146

The floors are as follows for those who weren't in the first thread.

>>26046128
We haven't secured the mine, and the mines are another two floors down. We shouldn't risk it yet, just continue with our descent.

>>26046166

you guys are still living off of the barreled mushrooms and have killed three Blindmaws but the bodies weren't harvested. I assumed you guys would end up using them for fertilizer. But no one said anything and I can't make that decision for you.

>>26046094
Light the third and fourth furnaces
Use the pick to mine materials to make more guns

>>26046200
I would rather we use it for future fertilizer, since we have enough food.

>>26046169
In that case, I second Faust's post at >>26046166

Oh, I am a bit curious on how long it would take for our people to learn the Dwarven language.

>>26046166

>>26046094

The first two floors are explored thoroughly. Within the various shops and the bloodworks of the Arena, over 255 gold is found, bringing the total Dreman wealth up to 359 gold. Not much else of use is discovered, except for tablets describing prices or public bulletins. Nothing particularly fascinating or useful. These levels were both already explored pretty thoroughly by Zapson and Ardghal, along with the majority of the rest of the city.

oh sorry, forgot the second action. Grantham's mastery of fire expands, he's now able to breathe puffs of fire, and teaches this technique to the Gnomes capable of learning. Roughly 1 in 3 Gnomes will have aptitude for magic, and Grantham's spells are far more powerful when cast than those of other Gnomes.

The arena is cultivated into a tremendous farm and in days is producing enough mushrooms to feed many times the number of Gnomes present. The Dreman clan has fanned out, and many are using stalls in the market as homes for now, but the tribe enjoys its new home.
The 3rd level furnace is lit, and it is cleared of Blindmaws, with 4 being killed - enough to feed the tribe for a month, and Zapson is glad to see meat served beside their mushrooms at last. The tribe is now eating better, and will work better and fight better.

We do need the numbers if we want to fully secure this place. Too much room and gnomes go missing in this vast area. We also do need to improve our materials too and those guns aren't gonna shoot anything if we don't develop the powder for it

>>26046489

Barrels of water were brought, but there are two wells on each floor. Some of them are stagnant and bitter tasting, and others likely have lizard piss in it, but the most of the wells are safe to drink from as they draw their water from aquifers in the mountain.

>>26046583
make water taste better

>>26046547
That's like "save princess, rape princess" scenario. It just doesn't make sense. We are a race of intelligent Gnomes, not stupid Orcs. I think we should learn the Dwarven Language from the dragon so we can finally makes some proper use out of those runes. I would still like to know how long learning the language would take.

>>26046436
Seems people want to capture Blindmaws for farming and to begin pushing to the 4th level and the mines.

>>26046630
pretty much then next turn start have a designated gnome learn dwarfish then have him teach all the children as they grow up

>>26046649
In fact, we should have all the Gnomes that are magic users learn Dwarvish.

>>26046436

The fourth floor furnace is lit, and both sections quickly warm up and become visible. Aranax reports a rise in the number of Blindmaws scuttling about his chambers, and has taken to killing them with his claws or boiling them with his steam breath. He shares the surplus of cooked and uncooked meat with the Gnomes.
The mines are once more put to use, with the magic pick it's quite easy to break apart rocks for one worker, and others label with the crude bone picks or the rusted ones discovered in the prison. Deposits of gold, sulfur, iron ore, topaz, and coal are discovered in various tunnels. These materials are all remarkably bountiful here. This is quite the location indeed!
One tunnel in particular leads to a breach obviously made by claws and beyond is a great cave. Some sounds can be heard within, but it is too dark to see and too large for exploration to seem safe with mere torches.

>>26046681

>>26046616

Learning the language will take about two rounds or double action one round. But once the language is learned, Grantham will still need to read the tome of runes, and it will be months before he understands it enough to begin experimentation. That said. Dwarven rune magic can impart serious power over physics. Increasing or lowering gravity, controlling the vector of an incoming arrow, amplifying the newtons of force behind a weapon or lowering the number of newtons behind someone else's weapon. Even changing friction so that you could slide across surfaces. It's tough stuff, it'll just take a long time to learn.

Ranged: Struggle
Magic: Average
Technology: Specialists
Diplomacy: Average

You can't improve the Gnome ability to give birth, but you can recruit more Gnomes.
Also, looking back at this I realize how fucked you guys might be in a fight. I'm using those modifiers as pluses and minuses to roll in combat situations. Guns will help though. Bombs too.

>>26046796
that is possibly increasing pop, with a large probabillity of losing pop through fighting.
my suggestion is safe, and might also prevent diseased/injured people from dying.

>>26046812

>You can't improve the Gnome ability to give birth
so we cant reduce child infancy, or diseases that lead to early deaths in fetuses?
thought we were techspec`s

>>26046812
Do all females give birth each time? So, next group of children will be 25 or is that not correct?

>>26046681

The Gnomes focus on improving their technology, in particular smithing. There is an old smithy in the armory that the Gnomes quickly analyze and repair, understanding how it functions with ease. They begin experimenting with their materials, as the tinkerers they are, creating allows of gold and iron, and even studying the explosive properties of sulfur somewhat.
Those with magical aptitude travel to Aranax's court with Zapson and Grantham to begin learning the Dwarven tongue.

The Gnomes put all of their energy into weapons and armor. Using their iron and the rusted remains of dwarven armor as a guide, the greatly enhance their previous armor model. They craft full suits of plate mail, chainmail, and using blindmaw scales as inspiration they make scaled armor. The hides of blindmaws and iron links are integrated and sewn together to make light armor variants to allow quicker movements, and heavy armor is designed much like ancient Dwarven armor. Weapons are made much more quickly with iron at their disposal. Sabers, axes, tomahawks, spears, and maces are all made with iron. Pistols are produced in great numbers and perfected quickly. Rounds for the pistols are next, and made in tremendous numbers and stored in barrels.

>>26047074

The breach in the mines is sealed shut with the stone debri and rubble from all the mining that has been going on, with scraps of old and rusted metal thrown atop, and heated with fire breath to melt it together. Fuckin' Gnome logic.
The 5th level furnace is lit, but due to being forced lower and lower, the population of Blindmaws in the area is much higher and 3 Gnomes are killed by the beasts before it is lit. Now all of the remaining Blindmaws have receded to the bottom floor, and Aranax complains loudly about their presence. He kills nearly a dozen, and remarks that dozens more are now huddled together in the Treasury room, which he is unable to access.

Fuck. We lost three gnomes while in plate male with iron weapons and pistols?

>>26047074
Train in volley fire tactics
Train in close quarters bayonet work.

>>26047165
we should start eradicating the rest of the blindmaws

Don't want to make the dragon uncomfortable

>>26047165

>>26047165
train with weapons and tactics then make our dragon buddy a bit more comfy by eradicating the rest

>>26047165

>>26047165
Have aranax steam breath the chamber to blind the blindmaws then kill them

>>26047165
Sorry I just joined the thread, do these gnomes have a God to worship ?

>>26047182

There are a fuckload of those lizards down there now. Each one is three times the size of a Gnome.

>>26047187
>>26047200
I agree. Lets train to move in formation, fight as a group, and fire in/from formation.
Military training go!
Also maybe develop our offensive magic more?

>>26047241

They could worship any God, but they don't have a religion as of now.

>>26047252
fair.

>>26047264
Gunpowder + fire breath = explosion

>>26047252
.... i change my vote to lock the treasury and let them starve

>>26047269
I suggest that once we have access to the temple we take three of our most clever inventors and dedicate them to the dragon of science as philosopher priests.

>>26047165

With all this new firepower at their disposal, the Gnomes train to use their pistols in formation and to reload them which takes some time right now (this shit is flintlock at the moment). They train on the old Dwarven training grounds to do combat as a team.
Using these new skills, they light the final furnace and storm the treasury, killing all of the remaining blindmaws. The battle to finish them off however too its toll. Though over 47 of the hulking reptiles now lay dead, 4 Gnomes were lost in the assault.

>>26047277
good idea....
But then we wont get as the treasure for a while.
Smoke 'em out? kill em by fanning smoke into the room through a crack they cant get through.

>>26047276
well... if we breath fire on an explosive we'll probably explode too.

>>26047269
Okay.

I suggest to start searching for a religion to follow, or a God to worship. I dont know, maybe they should talk with elders (if there are), to know more about their lore, Godlore.

Of course they will do this when there is no threat. First things first.

>>26047298

On the upside, the entire place is lit, warm, free of enemies, and there is only one entry point at the very top. The Gnomes have moved from the market to the 4th floor where most of them mine at their leisure and have begun to settle into the crumbled Dwarven homes.

>>26047298
have we had babies mature yet, also upgrade pistol tech and explore bottom floors thoroughly

>>26047298
Well. That was dealt with quickly.
Have we cleaned/searched these last two levels completely? Lets do that.

I'm torn between new magic, guns, or military training to storm whatever is living in the mine...

>>26047298
Breed!
If I can't have muh SE, I'm gonna breed!

>>26047298
Smoke and dry the meat so we can have years worth of foodstuffs

>>26047292

Also explore for goblin camp or allies

>>26047306

Well the last thread has probably expired and I don't think anyone archived it BUT
This very ruin has a temple to Krissus, the God of order, justice, math, and other similarly boring things. The leader of the tribe is even wielding one of his artifacts. There is a mechanical dragon that dwells in the courtroom at the bottom of the ruins (he's friendly) that worships Krissus.

So I wanted to be the gadgeteer but it was already taken.
'sup gnomes, I'm hoping in right now. What's the situation exactly? As far as I see, we've got some magic, guns, we live in dwarven ruins and fought some kind of scaly thingies. Is there anything else I should know before voting for what we do?

Also: do we have any form of alchemy?

>>26047349

>>26047298
>Tech - Steam Power

There could be some useful stuff in there and some nice homes for our people.

>>26047335

>>26047335
>>26047349
I definitely suggest we should start having a religion. In every group, a majority of members will feel the need to worship a god.

Krissus seems to be perfect actually.

>>26047355

We have no alchemy, we have a mechanical dragon ally, and a Dwarven adventurer friend. There is a Goblin camp nearby that has many Gnome slaves. Also we're playing on a deathworld.

>>26047365
So far, the members haven't been pressured to worship. Even the dragon hasn't suggested worship. If I have this right, one of the gods has forsaken this world to death for the arrogance of the ways of technology. I kind of like the idea of keeping to that, to be honest. But, it's a majority vote.

>>26047371
Thank you very much.

Then... how about

>Magic: ressearch the basis of alchemy

>>26047383
I've just joined the thread, and I like the idea of religion in these CIV thread. But you are right, if the gods have forsaken this world, there is no need to worship any of them. I wont insist if this doesnt fit with the previous threads.

We should focus on technology, maybe it would become some sort of philosophy.

>>26047298

Well the meat is smoked and stored, creating a very large lasting supply of meat. If four could feed the tribe for two months, over 70 dead Blindmaws (including those killed by Aranax) is enough to last a very very long time, especially with mushrooms on the menu as well.
Now that the ruins are completely safe, the Gnomes have taken up worship of Krissus. As an honorary judiciar of order, Zapson is revered by the faithful and leads them in their worship. As a result of their worship, the Gnomes are much more structured and organized. Though their population has dwindled, with this improved orderliness they gain an action allowing them to take three per turn.
Technology is studied once more, in particular steam. Zapson and Grantham, as well as a few other Gnomes look over Aranax and ask him many questions. In a matter of days they understand the workings of pistons, steam gauges, and how to use steam as fuel.

we need to make jetpacks/gliders powered by steam. Or you know something to power with the steam

>>26047383

Horux is the one that did that, and he is Krissus's near opposite. He's the god of nature - but not like friendly nature, like roses and squirrels and deer and drum circles. He's metal as fuck. He's the god of animal savagery, bloody brutal slaughter, predators, that sort of thing. He hates animals like deer and goats and shit. He's a 5 headed tarantula kind of guy.

>>26047441
Hm... Steam-powered manufactures (like, say, a refinery of something) may actually be far more efficient on the long term.

Also, if we have steam, we should keep in mind that there must be some way to use it for transportation. And I'm not talking of locomotives (or at least, not only): what about steam-airship and the likes. Quick transportation is one of the keys to expansion.

>>26047492
sorry :D

>>26047416
Mages should work on being able to produce constant flames able to power a steam engine.

Everyone else should work on making steam powered war machines, mining machines, and battle suits.

>>26047416

>>26047507
but they can make a fire that never goes out, they dont need to stand there like bafoons fire bending into a bucket of water

use steam to capture honeybees then make a bee farm

>>26047416

The Gnomes finally get to talking with Aranax about the surrounding area as he's seen it from the sky.
Directly to the south are the Ever-amber woods, still orange and gold, and between them and the mountain is the old warrens the Gnomes once called home. To the Southeast is the Goblin camp of Craven the Bugbear. It's tremendous, and protected by high wooden walls. The slave pens hold what appears to be at least 60 Gnome women, and 20 Gnome men. To the North is Bile-scum bog, which is filled with reclusive bullywug. Near the entrance to the swamp is an ethergate (a portal between worlds and planes, where you go depends on what keystone you present to the gate). To the West is Fellbramble Haunt, an abandoned Dwarf hamlet built into the hills and populated now by hobgoblins. It is likely from here that the Goblins invaded Ursh Tor Vek long ago.

The Gnomes study magic, in particular alchemy. They learn some of the chemical abilities of their mushrooms. The mushrooms seem able to clean water that is run through them like a filter, making it clearer and taste better. When dried completely and crushed into a powder, this powder stinks obscenely like many dead bodies full of shit and left in a river of piss for days.

GUYS

Explosives + Stinky powder = Death to our enemies' noses.

>>26047563
Gotta train in the art of stealth magic and scout out that goblin camp

See if we can slowly sneak gnomes out of the camp using tunnels

>>26047590
That would leave them very disorientated. Of those that are still conscious, that is.

>>26047563
>Design Stinky grenades
>Train military troops
>Attack Goblins

>>26047602
Shouldn't we have a scout with muffled sound to see their numbers first? Just running in "guns blazin'" seems like a bad idea.

>>26047563
Research gas masks.
Explore everamber woods

>>26047622
everamber woods probably has bees

>>26047563

The Gnomes then begin fortifying the entrance with stone walls using rubble from inside and iron to reinforce them. A watchtower is built with a perch for a Gnome to keep lookout down the mountain trail, as well as an iron gate to block access to the huge stone doors that lead into the ruins. The watchposts of the entrance are refurbished, with slits and holes in the walls to allow the firing of pistols at attackers.
Lastly the Gnomes experiment with steam technology, learning now how to make a steam engine and keep it running using magical fire. They aren't sure what to do with it, but some of them have some pretty good ideas. One of them remembers Aranax translating a tablet for him about the old Dwarven skyships. Another saw a crude schematic like drawing of a powered cart that ran on rails. Some of them had even more creative ideas like mechanical suits of armor, or perhaps packs that would allow lift off the ground for individual Gnomes. With this technology the sky was the limit.

I think we should invest in Magical Animation.
This way we can bring out amazing creations to life.

After stink bombs of course.

>>26047578
Plan of attack. Make many stink bombs.
Have aranax drop stink bombs on goblin camp.
Goblins run out into volley fire and bombs. Retrieve caged prisoners.
Subjulect to change after scouting.

>>26047674

We don't have either of those things yet.

>>26047664
And cannons.

>>26047647
Yep, we've got a good OP here.

... Just a thought, but shouldn't we split apart "Magic" in two categories: "Spell" and "Alchemy"? Or maybe something broader actually. Basically, there is the magic that can be bast and the magic things that can be made (which includes artifacts, who are not necessarily products of alchemy).

It's been a long ass time since birthing/maturing has happened

>>26047675
This was what I was thinking as well.
>>26047689
I like the way you think.

>>26047687
Yeah, that's why I said "2 actions" :
1. create items
2. train to use them.

>>26047704
I think he thought you meant "Train military troops using Stinky Grenades and Gas masks" counted as two actions, rather than "Use two actions to make this possible."

>>26047714
Yeah, wasnt that clear. Sry

>>26047704
But gas masks and stinknades (I like this name. Stinknades.) are two differents things that must be researched on their own. So
> Tech - Stinknades
> Train the troops
> 5 silenced scouts
sounds like a good plan of actions, as far as I'm concerned.

>>26047729
I second this.

>>26047729
I would rather get better weapons first. We are using flintlock. Our combat is shit, so we need technology to make up for it.

The Gnomes experiment more with the rancid fungal powder, and mixing it in part with sulfur and other materials, they are able to craft stink grenades of significant potency.
They also take time to further train their troops, honing accuracy and order among formations.
Lastly, a handful of silent scouts are sent to the Goblin camp by cover of darkness. They are unable to infiltrate the walls, but they make holes in the walls that allow them to see within. The prisoners are kept nude, and there are many dead bodies laying at the feat of those who are alive, shivering and staring blankly at the muddy ground. The Goblins were all constantly fighting, yelling, cackling, and raping both one another and the handful of Gnome women (and even some men) that were being passed around. Craven himself, the Bugbear king, sat on a large heap of uncomfortable looking bones and hides from animals, Dwarves, humans, and Gnomes. He had just torn the arm off of a Gnome girl and was feeding it to the viscoraptor he had on a leash. The Goblins numbered roughly 140, and all were armed with crude stick weapons, bone cudgels, and simple barbed spears. Who knows how many Goblins were out of the stronghold hunting at the moment....

Honestly I think we should train and develop thos bombs, but we're not ready to launch an attack.

We need bigger and better guns (cannons and rifles), more armor, fast loading devices, and maybe even armored transport.

We're too few to risk not being properly prepared.

>>26047781

You guys are going to have to excuse spelling errors from here on out. I'm actually a writer by trade but I've been doing this for like 12 hours I think.

>>26047781

Develop faster loading and firing mechanism for guns.

Make bigger guns.

That's my recommendation.

>>26047823

brb breakfast lol

>>26047781
>and all were armed with crude stick weapons, bone cudgels, and simple barbed spears.
We already have a total tech advantage on them.

However, Faust is right, we need more efficient weapons if we want to kill them quickly and reduce our loss.

So I suggest :
>Upgrapde gun tech
>Search Cannon tech
>Upgrade Armor tech

>>26047781
That his one huge clan. This >>26047769 seems like a good plan of actions. If we can't outnumber them, we can out-tech them.

And how a bout a plan of actions? If we want to take down this clan, we'll have to be organized. I suggest to research skyships and stinknades bombarding (as well as explosives bombarding) and start assaulting them with massive well-stuffed troops and death-from-above skyships where the prisoners AREN'T...

... while sending a party of about 10 silenced gnomes - with more than a handful of guns though - to free the prisoners, give'em guns, and... either flee or attack the goblins from behind.

We'll need to breed. We'll need to tech. We'll need resources. And we'll need training. But I think it'll be more than worth it.

(Also, I now direly need a Zapson vs Craven climatic battle)

>>26047781
Outnumbered 3 to 1.
>Tech - Muskets
>Tech - Rifling
>Tech - Primer and Firing pin to make "rounds" for guns

Develop some kind of chemical that can be ignited by striking it on a hard surface

>>26047854
Sounds like US marine plan.
But I like it though.

>>26047848
Anglo-Zulu war. Numbers and strategy matters.

And also of course, >>26047825 for this turn. "Bigger guns" is ALWAYS a good course of actions.

And I just had an idea. Three words. Alchemically enhanced bullets. Who's with me?

>>26047781
Battle plan.

Make faster loading/firing guns.
Mak Cannons.

Tell our residential giant fly machine that there is a mob of murderous rapist who've captured a large group of our kind and are murdering, eating, and raping them. Tell him we want their aid in punishing the offenders and saving the innocent.

We position riflemen and cannons around the goblin fort (aim in the area around the base, no inside).

evening.
Have Aranax fly some of our bombing gnomes over the fort. From him they'll drop a healthy dose of stank gernades to flush out the goblins.

once they're outside we'll unload on them.
Cannons, rifles, and regular gunpowder explosives from off Aranax.

Tried to use a bit of everyones plan. I think it'll work

>>26047858
>>26047876
Rounds are definitely a good idea.

>>26047854
We have a sky ship Aranax.
We attack at night with our noise muffled.
Aranax flies overhead and drops copious stink bombs
As the goblins strwam out we commence volley fire. Aranax is cirlcling back around.
As the goblins charge us aranax drops the explosive bombs among the charging gobling.
We continue firing. Goblins that get to close can be dealt with via handbombs or steam breath.

>>26047944
:D

>>26047931
We need to completely wipe them out of the face of the world, though. Should only one of them survive, he might manage to tell the others "check it out, some gnomes have death-spitting metal wands. Wanna raid'em?"

We don't want goblin gunners.

>>26047960
Well if i hadnt been driving my post could have jusr read "agreed"

>>26047944
>>26047931
I like it. I totally support this.

Before, we need to train and upgrade tech.

But while we do that, gnomes are being eatn and raped. We need to be fast.

>>26047977
I do think we ought to research more reliable technology. Having rather slowly reloading pistols won't help if we get overrun.

>>26047944
Wait I just thought about something.
Can our stinknades downright kill the ill and the diseased? If they can, I have bad news for all of us bombarders. We don't want the prisonrs to die.

Cannons.
Rifles.
Round/faster reloading devices
Aranax's help.
Training.

We work at these non stop. We live to make these a reality.

>>26048024
But we can only choose three right now. Haha.

>>26048024
Add the stinknades to the plan, we still don't have them. Also, gas masks (in quantity).

I'm pretty sure that we should breed more. Except if we can strongly outtech the goblins and get commando.

>>26048029
It'd make sense to spent one entire turn sciencing (aka Tech - cannons, Tech - rifles, Tech - bullets and barrels), then one turn preparing (Train - military, Scout, Tech - stinknades).

Except if convincing Aranax to help isn't a free action, in which case, we're pretty much fucked and have to take three times.

>>26048029
We have time. We'll get them all eventually.

>>26048036
Aye. We have the stink gernades but no gas masks.
We need gas Masks.

>>26048066
>We have time.

No we dont, people are dying out there ! Our people !

>>26047858
Does my previous plan sound alright? Canons don't seem entirely useful at this point.

>>26048085
We're including your plan in the current one. We have all your ideas we just added more.

>>26048119
I meant to use for this turn.

>>26048146
Oh, Yeah that works.

>>26048080
Agreed. But in order to save them, we have to delay our actions until we're prepared enough to be sure that we can fight them.

Remember: they're not only 140. They are AT LEAST 140. Which means that they could damn well be 300, as far as we know.

Plus, they're savages, and they're trained in the ways of bestiality. We want to take on a nearly-sapient pack of rabid beasts who clearly outnumber us. Without proper and meticulous planning, we're only going to be brutally slaughtered.

I'd say 2 or 3 turns of preparation, then we raid them. (If it wasn't for the gnomes dying, we'd have taken 5 turns.)

>>26048171
>trained in the ways of bestiality
I'm sorry, but I almost died laughing at this.

why not add the silence magic to the guns? do some stealth operations and maybe sniper rifles in the long run

>>26048185
That's brilliant.

>>26048185
Not sure if you are aware, but I just want to make sure, the silence magic only muffles the sound. Unless we put more research into it, it will not completely mute the sound. Great idea, nonetheless.

>>26048171
Agreed. We can try to really drive into our workers the dire state of things. Maybe they'll work quicker...

>>26048185
I like it.s

>>26048184
No prob. I'm all ridiculous grandiloquence.

>>26048185
>>26048194
Seconded. But then we'd need some kind of enchanting. Do we have enchanting?

>>26048230
We have Dwarven runes that act about the same, but it takes a long time to understand them. Most likely a two, maybe even three, turn deal.

>>26048205
yea, knew that just thought it would be like silencers in the mean time, when/if we get full sound suppression, upgrade

>>26048249
Maybe more, we dont know. OP said " The old secrets (of Dwarven Runes) are mostly lost"

>>26048249
We have no time (as Qst underlined). Except, of course, if we focus only on perfect stealth and rescue the prisoners ninja style, and then use the additional angry troops - and the precious, precious additional action-per-turn - to blast the goblins.

Hell, if we rescue them first, we can even afford to just piss gunpowder on them and call it a day.

So we have two plans.
Ninja rescue, then bombardment;
Or marine warfare operation.

WAT DO

>>26048268
OP said : "It's very particular you see, the other races can't master or hardly use it."

Maybe we'll never learn to use it... Sad.

>>26047781

This news put a fire in the Gnome's hearts and they got to work around the clock on preparing themselves to free their brothers and sisters.
Firstly Zapson began drawing up his plans for the pistols, lengthening their barrels and adding stocks to create rifles. These were much more accurate and much more powerful than the pistols, and were produced en masse to supply the Gnome troops.
This of course caused him to have a realization. Why not simply make the guns bigger? There were several failed attempts, but eventually a cannon was made using stronger gold and iron alloys for the barrel and reinforcing it several times so that it didn't crack. The cannon was very impressive, and when loaded with exploding shells could do a great deal of damage.
Finally the Gnomes continued to work on their armor crafting. Eventually they realized that the heating and cooling of the iron could be used to make it harder and stronger, and they redesigned their plate to allow for more coverage and more mobility in the joints.

This turn, 11 Gnomes were born.

Idea. Noone knows how awesome we are. Step 1 build fake gnome village. Crappy fake gnome village.
Step 2 let hunting parties raid village.
We all flee down evac tunnles
Step 3 bombs. How many? Enough.
Then assault thier main camp as planned.

>>26048268

You guys still haven't finished learning Dwarven, so you haven't even started reading the book. Reading the book won't turn anything up for a few months, and then you'll be the masters of physics basically.

>>26048286
Perhaps mix some coal in with iron ore and melt them together to see what happens?

>>26048291
Sorry, I must have missed that update.

>>26048310
This will take far too long.

>>26048286

Also, I'm going to have to leave pretty soon for work, so this will probably be the last turn. I'll be back this afternoon and I'll pick up where we leave off. Hopefully someone archives this thread, because the last one wasn't archived.

>>26048286
Magic- healing
Magic-healing
Assault goblins

>>26048338
Assault goblins? We haven't really trained the Gnomes how to use the weapons, yet. Why healing magic twice?

>>26048330
Agreed if we had more time maybe.... but as it is. Lets kill some gobbos

>>26048335
how do I archive

Also, in how many hours will you be back (approximately)? I live in Europe, so "afternoon" doesn't mean anything for me.

Also also, IRC anybody? So we can come up with a stronk plan.

And
> Training - Riflemen
> Magic - Healing
> Traning - Cannoneers

>>26048345
An attempt to minimize our potential losses. Time may be better spent training i was just throwing it out there.

>>26048361

In like 6 or so hours I think, maybe fewer.

>>26048380
I'm just hoping you're not planning on using those gas bombs because we haven't made any yet.

>>26048381
Alright then.

>>26048286

I'm not hearing any cohesive votes for anything other than rifle tech and training more. I've only gotten two votes for either of those, as well.

>>26048392
....sometimes things slip by me at 7 am.
Well considering we mastered traditional firearms in ten days we can spen an afternoon weaponising our shrooms....

>>26048440
Shroom bombs sound good.

>>26048439
My vote becomes
Train with rifles
Make shroomstink bombs
Attack

>>26048439

Everyone gather around!

> Training our men
> Mass producing (rifles, explosives, boulders for the cannons, gas bombs, everything)
> Research: alchemical fungi gas masks

Everyone's okay?

>>26048459
This.

>>26048459
Seconded

>>26048459
Yes

>>26048286

uhhhnnn
er
ok

The Gnomes train more with their weaponry to ensure maximum accuracy and orderliness.
The Gnomes also produce more stink bombs, more rifles, and other weapons so as to create a surplus of weaponry.
Lastly with some work they are able to design masks that filter out the stench of the bombs using Blindmaw leather, mushrooms, and a magically fueled steam pump.

>>26046436
which explains why we were dying so easily, and stupidly when we are clearly capable of doing better, more ordered deeds, MEAT my brothers, flesh, order of the flesh!

>>26048286
Krissus demands mounts!

>>26048508
>>26048509
MOUNTS

>>26048509
He's actually just leaving. This was the last turn. Come back for the next thread.

>>26048509

Actually Gnomes are just pussies, but a more balanced diet with some real protein in it certainly helps with physical health.

>>26048508
Attack. Attack. Attack.

>>26048522

Nah I've got a bit more time. If everyone votes fast we can squeeze out one more turn.

>>26048526
The man is right. We've got a whole arsenal by now, gas masks to resist our own stinknades, our wizards can silently creep and breath fire, and if we can manage to convince Aranax to help, then we even have dominion of the sky.
So.

Attack attack attack.

>>26048538
Whether we get the extra turn or not, excellent thread you sir are amazing.

>>26048508
Confirm with Aranax if he will assist us with a night strike.
If he doesn't agree, wait until we are more prepared.
If he agrees, have him drop smoke bombs over the village, preferably away from our people. Put silence on all weapons and Gnomes and send Gnome marksmen in groups of 5 to kill as many goblins as possible. Send in wizards with silence to set fire to their encampment. All should wear gas masks, of course.

>>26048562

Thanks daggy.

>>26048562
Seconded.

>>26048577
Also, we want results, not glory. If we can take down the leader without a final "deathmatch between leaders" that should take priority.

>>26048508

Well, actually I'm going to save combat for when I get back later because it could take some time. While I'm away you guys should decide what you're going to do with steam power, the settlement, the loot. Stuff like that. It was fun! Hopefully I see everyone again later today, and it'd mean a lot if one of you archived the threads on sup/tg/ to help new faces that might show up.

>>26048577
If Aranax agrees to help, he could ruin the goblin camp by himself imho.

I mean, he's a FUCKING MECH DRAGON.

>>26048624
I'm not sure if this is how it works, but I gave it a shot. http://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/26045111

>>26048525
Gnomes may be on the slight and petite side of life, but we once fashioned a bronze steam dragon with sentience.
While we are a shadow of a once forgotten past, Krissus flows in our veins, we can corrupt and heal the bioware of this world and all who dwell upon it, with order, justice, and steam!

Soon this world will be under our sway, and beyond, far beyond, order will find it's flag upon the corners of this world..

>>26048657
If Krissus can help us go beyond our ancient glories and help us reach the stars, I can support him.
