>Still halfway through a turn...
>[VISIT SCARATONES]

"Lockstock, have you seen-" Celicia trails off, frowning at the dwarven prince. If it wasn't for the lack of magical energy, she would almost think that he's tracing sigils through the air and/or trying to perform some sort of ritual. "... did I catch you at a bad time?"

"Nah, just checking up on my cheevos, lass. Here, gimme a sec-" Lockstock pinches his fingers together and swipes them down through the air, as if closing an invisible window. "What's up?"

"You can actually CHECK on- no, never mind, I don't want to fucking know." Celicia shakes her head, dismissing that as one of the many things she doesn't want to spare any of her thinly-stretched brainpower for. "Anyway, have you seen Gubbins anywhere?"

"Oh, him? If you need HIM to do anything, you're fresh out of luck. He's conked out in the shade underneath Ogir Place, and I'll bet you he's not getting up for a good long time. Probably burned himself out casting all that magical gobbledygook," Lockstock adds.

"Figures. Well, shit- look, SOMEONE has to go check up on the Scaratones. We haven't seen hide or hair of them since the battle."

Lockstock frowns. "That ain't anything to worry about, is it, lass?"

"Normally, no, but the beetles usually have a token force here to help the ogres with their mining and farming efforts. I only just found out that Kilkkarak brought them ALL home without telling anyone." The elf gunner swipes a hand down her face, pondering their next move.

>WHO GETS TO GO VISIT THE SCARATONES?
[A] [GUBBINS] [!Roll required!] Try to wake up the geomancer. The Scaratones are more familiar with ogres, after all.
[B] [CELICIA] Have Celicia go and check up on the Scaratones. Demons and portals are her forte, and after what happened with the Yellow Ant...

Well, didn't the Yellow Ant come and attack us again? Maybe the Formichroma haven't given up yet on the fight? I don't think we ever managed to get the peace council thing going after the fight.

>[X] [CELICIA] Time to talk to the Scaratones!

Eventually, Celicia glances back up, her mind set. "Alright, I'll go check on them. Lockstock, do me a favor and keep an eye on the ogres. And also Gubbins and Bawss."

To his credit, the dwarven prince's only response to being ordered around like that is to raise his eyebrows. "Well now, lass, I'm fairly certain the ogres can look after themselves-"

He's interrupted as an explosion rocks the top level of Ogir Place, followed by That Guy screaming out of the cave as fast as he can- although he certainly can't outrun the fire that's engulfed every part of his body. "I HAVE DISCOVERED DAT ALL FOUR STATES OF MASS ARE FIREEEEE," the hapless ogre shrieks as he plunges into the lake.

"... you know what I mean," Celicia growls, leveling her best glare at Lockstock as the lake fails to put out That Guy's flames; instead, the water ITSELF catches fire.

"... point taken."

It doesn't take too long for Celicia to assemble a quick escort- a few elven sharpshooters and a handful of ogres- and it's an even shorter walk to the main Scaratone Hive, since the final battle against the Formichroma's prophet took place a mere mile or so away.

And it doesn't take a genius to realize that something's /off/ about the place, even from the aboveground approach.

Celicia curses under her breath, her teeth clamped down around yet another cigarette; behind her, the ogres shift their feet uneasily, even as the elves murmur among themselves. She's not nearly as magic-sensitive as most of her fellow elves, but even she can taste something terribly wrong in the air.

To the sides, the secondary and tertiary hive structures are silent, no longer emitting the sound of thousands of workers scurrying around; instead, there's a strong scent of magic from these above-ground hives, tangy and sour and annoyingly familiar.

In contrast, the ground beneath their feet vibrates constantly, the underground tunnels fairly buzzing with activity.

Under normal circumstances ("normal" meaning "before ogres"), Celicia would be faced with a tough decision- she sure as hell can't plow ahead into the main hive, leaving her back open to whatever horrible magic phenomena is going on in the secondary/tertiary hives. But on the other hand, she would have to pray that whatever's going on in those hives won't delay her from getting down to where Queen Kilkkarak may or may not be in trouble. In the worst case scenario, they could get bogged down by enemies, enemies everywhere.

Of course, it's been a LONG time since Celicia found herself under normal circumstances.

"So, ogres, do you know what's fucking great?"

The ogres mull this over, frowning in all-too-serious thought. "... talking butts?" one of them eventually hazards.

As accustomed as she is to ogre life, Celicia has to close her eyes to stave off the beginnings of a headache. "Tunnels through the ground," she continues. "We can go straight to Queen Kilkkarak if we do that." And also seal the entrance behind them to avoid any back-attacks from whatever's in the side hives, but THAT might be a bit too complicated for them.

"Hah!" One ogre, his top hat made of dirt marking him out as a dedicated geomancer, perks up. "Leave it to me! I'll get us straight downstairs in no time at all! Heck, I'll dig it out so fast dat we'll go right past all dat dirt an' space an' stuff!"

Celicia squints as the geomancer grabs the ground and peels it back, dirt and stone and the fabric of space itself spooling into one long thread of something impossible that kind of hurts to look at. The elves accompanying them turn away, one unlucky soldier quietly emptying out the contents of his stomach onto the desert floor (where it's quickly melted into the space-dirt-stone continuum). Not for the first OR last time, Celicia reflects that someday, she's going to deeply regret relying so much on stupid ogre luck to see them through.

... but she's quickly wrenched back into the present as she peers straight into the- tunnel? Portal?- and sees nothing but chaos and violence.

Here and there, the Formichroma soldiers have discarded all their rigid strategies, tearing at the Scaratones with nothing but their claws and mandibles, fighting like the giant ants that they so resemble; meanwhile, mixed among the usual Scaratone soldiers are a large number of horrifically injured beetle-men AND Formichroma alike, rattling groans escaping from their ruined throats, looking like nothing more than walking corpses- hell, they ARE nothing but walking corpses. Some are missing limbs, or have gaping holes in their heads.

Further in is Queen Kilkkarak, smashing Formichroma into the ground with some sort of scepter (and her own considerable body weight; even from out here, the expression of sheer manic rage on her face is easily visible as wades through the melee, the usually urbane queen roaring war cries with all the fury of a dwarven berserker.

... Celicia's snapped out of her revere when she realizes that the damn tunnel/portal actually CONNECTS straight down into this underground chamber; they could step right in, but on the other hand, it's only a matter of time before the fighters within begin spilling out onto the surface by accident.

Thus Cecilia learned not to keep relying so much on Ogre luck

I remember when this quest was just a quirky civilization thread. Where did everything go right?

>>31069942
When the dubs happened.

>>31069942
When we got a 1 and a 100 in the same thread.

>>31069915
That already happened, but we aren't taking this quest cosmic until we teach Bawss to invent the secret Ogre Racial Power that's always existed and everyone knows about. We ain't getting off this world until we're rocking Spiral Power (as unlocked by Bawss inventing sunglasses).

>>31070139
Hat technology still needs to advance even further before ogres discover the wonders of eye-wear.

>>31069318
That made too much sense for a quest such as this.

>59

>96

See, the sensible thing to do- the Felpowder Elven thing to do- would be to ignore how absolutely impossible this portal is, taking advantage of it to lay down a suppressing barrage of fire. Yet another sensible thing to do would be to send a runner back to Ogir Place, to sound the alarm and/or ask for reinforcements; this could very well be a pitched battle, and the extra man/dwarf/ogrepower might prove to be necessary.

Celicia bites her lower lip, a bead of sweat trickling down her cheek. That... that would be the SENSIBLE thing to do, and she can hear the elves around her preparing to do just that, but just maybe, maybe she can let herself go. Just this once.

Do the ogre thing.

"... geomancer," she all but whispers, her scratchy voice even more hoarse than usual. "Can you- can you do another thing? Can you-" Celicia points to the portal, before turning and pointing at where Ogir Place rises above the horizon, not too far away from Scaratone Hive. "- can you do a thing?"

The ogre spellcaster's eyes light up immediately. "Oh. Oooh!! Okay, I'll do dat!"

Celicia blinks, surprised that she's SURPRISED that HE'S not at all surprised. "... wait. Really? But- wait, hold on a goddamn second, it's not actually GEOMANCY, since it's just portal-ing-"

"Nah, nah, it's just like Gubbins says, yeah? Nothin' but dirt between point A and point Letter-Dat-Comes-After-A!" His big blue face splits into a toothy grin, and his eyes glow that classic shade of geomancy gold as he begins channeling his reserves of magic.

>Goddess of Luck Intervention!
Feeling inexplicably liberated, Celicia can't help but smile softly, turning her face up toward the sky and ignoring the stupefied stares of the other elven soldiers. For once, there's no impending headache or feeling of terrified disbelief- she's finally done it. She's grown accustomed to living with the ogres. Hell, she's even THINKING like the goddamn ogres, just a little bit. Maybe Boss Bawss Fistboss will be pretty damn impressed, once he hears about thi-

".... er, whoops."

Celicia's eyes snap open, and an ice-cold chill runs down her spine. "What- what did you just say?"

"Haha, uh, nope, nothin' said here, right?" the geomancer chortles nervously. "It was da wind, yeah, the wind said dat or somethin'- ooooh no," the ogre chokes, arms wobbling as the magic around him begins spiking uncontrollably.

Celicia very nearly loses against her urge to take the ogre by his shoulders and shake him. "No, seriously, what the fuck do you mean by 'oops'!? What did you-"

"Commander! Look!"

Her head whips around as she looks first at the ashen-faced elf soldier, and then over to where he's pointing: Ogir Place. Which is slowly and inexorably stretching like so much taffy, as the entire kit-and-kaboodle's dragged into a point in front of it. At the exact same moment, the sounds of battle coming from underneath Scaratone Hive are quickly overpowered by confused screaming on both sides; Formichroma and Scaratone alike find themselves scrabbling through thin air as gravity takes out its confusion and/or rage on everything within a twenty-mile radius, and back on the surface, the elves and ogres find themselves feeling... /lighter/.

"WHAT DID YOU DOOOO!?" Celicia howls, grabbing the geomancer by the shoulders and shaking him like a rag doll. Before the unfortunate ogre can formulate an answer-

The world goes 'boink,' and Ogir Place and Scaratone Hive are suddenly co-inhabiting the exact same space.

Up on the top of Ogir Place, confused warriors of both insectoid races find themselves swimming in the lake, all thoughts of fighting replaced by desperately trying to swim to the shore- and those ogres with fishing poles begin whooping and hollering in joy as they begin reeling in completely new types of fish!

"Holy jeez! Look at how big dis one is!" One ogre holds up a fishing pole, with a subdued Formichroma hopelessly entangled in the fishing line.

"Dat's nothin'! Look at dis one! It's just like our little beetle-y buddies!" Another ogre hoists a confused, dripping Scaratone above his head. "I dub thee the Scaratuna!"

Down in the caves, the naked rock faces have been replaced by the ancient murals of the Scaratone Empire; Formichroma warriors barely have time to get adjusted to their new location before they're suddenly beset on all sides by ogre miners, all clamoring to dig their picks into these new mobile ore veins; the Scaratones quickly drop their weapons and grab picks in their hands, following suit as fast as humanly possible.

Celicia looks at the chaos unfolding around her. She opens her mouth.

And then she closes her mouth, a nervous tic making its way onto her face as her thoughts and very possibly her sanity once again scatter to the four winds.

While the ogres in their escort group have long since run off to join in the ensuing chaos, the elves standing behind Celicia shift uncomfortably, trading worried glances. So far, their commander has done nothing but stand stock-still, her eyes unfocused. Eventually, one of the braver ones clears his throat.

"S-Sir," he stammers. "Orders, sir?"

He has to repeat himself three times before Celicia even notices, blinking owlishly as she glances up; even then, her unfocused eyes seem to stare right through him.

"Go help the Scaratones. I trust you all to do the right thing."

No cursing, no sarcasm. The luckless spokesperson gulps, more disturbed by THAT than anything else. "But, sir..."

He takes a step back as Celicia tilts her head back at an almost impossible angle to glare right at him. "That wasn't a rhetorical question. That was an /order/."

"Y-Yessir!!" The soldiers quickly bustle away, unstrapping their rifles from their backs and making a show of preparing for combat; soon enough, Celicia stands alone and unnoticed on the edge of Ogir Place's upper plateau. Impossibly enough, the oasis-golem doesn't LOOK any bigger, although the main body of the hive appears to be fused on Ogir Place's back, like some sort of strange backpack.

Even though Scaratone Hive probably has a few miles' worth of tunnels snaking through the earth underneath it.

Even though the ground shouldn't be able to just CONNECT to an oasis golem like this.

Even though an oasis golem shouldn't actually EXIST-

More and more questions and logical contradictions, long-since suppressed for the sake of her sanity, treacherously march across Celicia's mind- she runs a hand down her face, her pupils dilated as she tries to come to terms with it all. It's not working, her brain's already exhausted just from dealing with the ogres, her sanity's overtaxed-

... overtaxed...

"Face me, coward! Die like a queen should, yes-yes!" Queen Kilkkarak chitters angrily, smashing a Formichroma warrior out of the way; she plows right over him, her larger bulk crushing the ant-centaur against the wall. Up ahead, the even larger Formichroma queen- a quivering mass of black chitin- takes no heed of her words, crawling through the tunnel like some sort of mindless beast.

Kilkkarak curses under her breath. If it was Scaratone Hive's tunnels, the Formichroma Queen would be hopelessly stuck, but in tunnels clearly designed for use by ogres, even a bloated ant-queen, with that hilariously oversized posterior, can make damned good time. Why, at this rate, Kilkkarak's own efforts to slim down are all but worthless in this fight!

The Scaratone Queen slams her pearly-white scepter into the ground; all around her, recently-killed corpses of both insectoid races rise back up to their many feet, chittering mindlessly as they keep Kilkkarak's back protected from any further attacks. She charges ahead, realizing with a jolt that the Formichroma Queen has stopped- wait, no, she's /backpedaling/-

Up past the Formichroma Queen's bulk, she spots a flicker of blue lightning, and there's a glimpse of blonde hair haloed around an elven head-

Celicia doesn't run. She doesn't jump, or twirl, or teleport forward at amazing speeds. She doesn't engage in any bouts of the applied battlefield gymnastics that are used so much by elven soldiers all across the globe.

She simply continues to walk forward. Behind her, Formichroma corpses line (or are splattered against) the walls, smoking craters littering their broken bodies- though in a few cases, the poor insectoids are nothing but one large crater. Heedless of the mayhem left in her wake, Celicia's gait is unsteady, like one of the zombies so recently-raised by Queen Kilkkarak, but there's something terrifyingly implacable about her advance.

There is nothing zombie-like about her voice.

"AHAHAHAHA! What's wrong? WHY ARE YOU /OGRE/REACTING?" she cackles, blue light crackling around her fists. A blissful grin stretches her face, a few stray strands of her mussed-up hair trapped at the edges of her mouth. "It all made sense! It was all so beautiful! AND THEN YOU JUST HAD TO /OGRE/REACH, DIDN'T YOU. YOU DONE GOOFED. YOU /OGRE/COMMITTED YOUR FORCES."

The Formichroma queen chitters in terror, backpedaling even faster without any regard for whatever's in her way. Celicia raises a hand, ignoring the careworn rifle strapped to her back.

She makes an absolutely innocuous-looking finger pistol with her hand, and giggles madly. Some sixth sense makes Queen Kilkkarak throw herself to the ground as best she can, covering her head with her chitin-sheathed hands.

>"PEW PEW."

The Formichroma Queen can't help but stare at the big green words floating in the air in front of Celicia's fingers, though that lasts only until the "W" slams into her upper body, shattering her natural armor like so much glass. The remaining five letters (and one space) quickly follow suit, tearing the unfortunate Formichroma to ribbons, before the "PEW PEW" fades into harmless lower-case letters and dissipates entirely.

Queen Kilkkarak, covered in the ichor of her hereditary nemesis, stares at Celicia.

Celicia stares back, swaying on her feet.

"... ogre pun," the elf mumbles blearily before falling flat on her face, instantly out cold.

Oh...
Oh hell...
The elves...
... SO WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT ELVES NOT BEING OGRES AGAIN!?

>>31072483
So all the Felpowder Elves were sent to the desert because they couldn't use magic.

And now they can.

I wonder how THAT goes.

I'm just curious as to weather or not this hive will remain stuck to ogir palace.

wouldn't complain if it was honestly, nothing makes for good neighbors than non-euclidean geometry connecting the two major strongholds of your races.

>>31072572
Oh, what about their uncanny camouflage ability where they're completely unable to be detected?

>>31072460
its not just any ogre magic, its an INTELLIGENT being using ogre magic. now once she loses that pesky thing known as logic, the possiblities will be endless

>>31072578
We spent our Goddess Intervention on that. It better be permanent. It'll sure knock down the amount of travel to collect our money, though.

>>31072578
The tunnels expand farther than Ogir Place's boundaries. I wonder if they can dig even further and expand endlessly? Would they somehow end up expanding in the desert outside as well? That is to say, could random tunnels connect from Ogir Place to other places in the desert?

>>31072511
... What? That's not why they were left in the desert. They were left because the Elven coalition didn't want to lose face for failing to colonize it.

>"PEW PEW."
You killed me OP, or Celicia, whoever did that.

So, did the Formichroma Queen not notice the impact of that period?

I just remembered, didn't Ruoumoko move in?
What did he experience during all this?

Their lack of magical aptitude was why THEY were chosen for the mission.

Well obviously, because OGRE!

>>31072416
And so the Ogrelves were born.

>>31072511
Oh they can all use magic. I think they only have a handful of combat magickers though, most of them are weapons specialists and scouts.

>>31072639
hehehe, this entire conflict just opened up a whole can of worms didn't it?

this can only lead to two things gentlogres, adventure, and MORE ADVENTURE.

>>31072758
Exactly, they also left behind Druids to keep the tree alive. Granted not enough to keep the tree alive for all that long.

>>31072687
Are they going to start turning blue like an ogre?

>[X] [OIWOTSMILK] Bring the teachings of the great self-frying chicken to the masses of Patchwings and skeletons! (And whoever else will listen!)

A few hours before Celicia's fateful(?) visit to the Scaratones, Gubbins was, in fact, not actually asleep. What Lockstock saw sleeping in the shadow of Ogir Place was nothing more than an expertly-crafted illusion, although closer inspection would have revealed that its snores were actually "buttsbuttsbuttsbutts" repeated over and over again.

Had Celicia known this, she might have been able to convince the master geomancer to tag along, which might have saved the ogrewhelmed elf all sorts of trouble, since the entire sequence of events leading up to her incipient insanity may not have occurred at all. Of course, if Celicia DOES learn of this in the future, Gubbins' future will be short, painful, and involve big green letters tearing him to shreds- but that's neither here nor there.

Gubbins sits on the upper plateau of Ogir Place, behind the miniature mountain poking up out of the sand. The patchwings are gathered in a small semicircle around him, eyeing him with the curiosity inherent to nearly every single one of the vulture-hyena griffin-like creatures; behind /them/, the strange skeletons they'd recruited from the abandoned zigguraut stand as still as statues, glowing softly as they bask underneath the sun's light.

Gubbins rubs his hands together. "A'right, so, you're probably wonderin' why I gathered you all here today," he begins.

Vultan, august leader of the patchwings, offers his own two cents. "Ogre! Ogre! Magic?"

"Nah, nah, KINDA like magic," Gubbins replies. "So anyway, I talked to this big fiery bird guy up in the sky. He made every sun in the universe! And he's a bird," he adds again. "Kinda like you, 'cept on fire."

There's a moment of thoughtful silence as the patchwings digest this piece of information.

"... self-cooking?" Vultan hazards.

"Yeah, basically. But anyway, I figure that Oiwotsmilk is kinda lonely up in da sky, so maybe he might be happier if you guys talked to him. Mebbe he'll make you guys stronger an' stuff, too."

The patchwings murmur among themselves, yapping in confusion. "Talk?" "How talk?" "Food talks?" "Great sky sun milk!"

Vultan's voice cuts through the confusion. "Song! Song and dance! Loud, loud enough to hear!"

Gubbins shrugs. "Eh, it's probably worth a-" The ogre blinks, frowning at the skeletons as they stand up as one; he's forced to the side as they clear out a space on the sand, the undead creatures moving in slightly unnerving silence. "Hey, hold on, what're you doin'?"

The skeletons ignore Gubbins, each one of them drawing out lines in the sand; soon enough, there's a geometrically perfect ritual circle smack-dab in the middle of their little clearing, a shape that seems to have much more of an impact than any simple scribble in the sand should have. As one, the skeletons look expectantly at Gubbins.

... huh.

[A] [PATCHWINGS] Allow them to try the song-and-dance routine! Maybe Oiwotsmilk appreciates that sort of chaotic devotion?
[B] [SKELETONS] Let the sun-powered skeletons complete the ritual, or add in something of your own. Maybe they know what's up.
[C] [SPHERE] Oiwotsmilk DID give Gubbins that weird... sphere thing. Maybe that has some sort of clue inside it.

Well, if we end up doing all of the above, Gubbins may as well draw in Oiwatsmilk at the center of the drawing and place the orb there.

Then inscribe the bird's name on it.

>>31073092
>[D] [ALL OF THE ABOVE] We'll insert the ball into an appropriate place for teh ritual, and help power it up, allowing the skeletons to continue, while the patchwings do their elaborate song-and-dance number along the outside, possibly harmonizing with the eldritch magical energies. Or maybe just being distracting so Gubbins doesn't learn something and limit his abilities.
