Still suggesting Lore should be lore ought to be the secret of Bio-Nuclear power.

Monsters, Zombies, Ghouls, and other factions serve to buffer the Jungle as much as they destroy it. As we continue to spill their blood and drive them out, the Jungle will need to be able to fill in the vacuum of their loss. We will need a jungle who can withstand chainsaws and fire as good as Monsters and as strong as them.

Also we'd have all the power we need when we need it, could even sell some to the bandits.

If we do right that we might have a fuel source even more potent and valuable than biofuel.

It also depends if the lore would let us apply the same biopowersource of the monsters into the plants.

>>33318195
Aren't rituals inherently one time? Also does the Prophet have any idea what these rituals do, or is the limit of our knowledge on them their names and what is require for them?

Well, I like the idea of bionuclear power, but knowing about it doesn't mean we can reproduce it.

I think knowledge of the world beneath our feet... wherever the roots of our plants go, we know what is there. I've heard so much about how the 'underdark' here is too dangerous to mess with, that seems like something worth knowing about.

Perform the Ritual of Plant Sense

>>33318254
Plant Sense sounds like it would give us that knowledge anyway, and yeah everywhere the underground exist is filled with nothing but death. It doesn't take secret lore to tell us that after being killed by things down there so many times.

Still though, I want a lore that will follow us outside of this particular Civ.

>>33318300
I think the 2 rituals are both done at the same time.

>>33318195
How do we properly ritual?

>>33318254
Also that does sound like a good idea, but it also sounds like it'd be very vague and abstract end up just scaring the crap out of us and making us act irrational.
>The vines sense a deep dark terrible prescence down there who is out for you
>horrible growling noises can be heard emanating from below
>a noise like a thousand crawling legs is slowly creeping upward

Then follows us devoting our efforts to stopping the thing and getting killed by it, when we might have done better leaving it alone.

I also really really hate anything in this setting that is vague and not straight to the point. If we get lore, I want it to tell us exactly what it means to tell us

We found the holy grail of materials for several of our rituals (nat100) including jungle imbuing earlier, sadly, it was covered in monsters and zombies.

We know that they are out for our blood, either each others or us.

First, find ourselves a good jungly location we can segregate them and pick them off. A place where we could have our forestry skills shine, and where we can use the trees to our advantage. Their forces are vast, the monsters are strong, but alone or small groups we WILL slay them. Lay and ambush there, and prepare to spill much blood.

Know that the more blood we spill and the more monster/zombie activity will come, so prepare to have multiple of such fallback points in case the fighting is too fierce and pick them off till we bleed them dry.

Once the monsters and zombies have been sucessfully lured away from the resources and materials, grab anything and everything we can as well as as many corpses as we can and haul them back to base.

This will be a good opportunity to test our Chosen Warriors and their "Special Potential". Let us see what they excell at, be it combat, stealth, coordinate, or what have you.

Well goods news we had a good plan...which is the only good news really. While we did attempt to lure monsters into small groups or alone so as to ambush them...well turns out we severely underestimated the strength of the monsters. So when we attempted to fall back it turns out the zombies have caught on to what was going on and headed our way in mass. All the while monsters attempted to place ambushes on the paths our forces took on their way to the fallback points.

Also they didn't hardly budge except for the monsters.

Zombies still stood around dully all around the pile while monsters went after our forces. Except for the problematic zombies who got dragged along who dragged other zombies along who then dragged along others and so on

Zombies

>>33320088
"We don't do credit."

>>33320150
zombies are swarming you. The chain swarm is both spreading out and getting larger.

>>33320224
Explosives have the unfortunate effect of being loud.

Alright, so we know how chainswarms work. One zombie yells to attract another, who attracts another, until we've got groups attracting groups and a whole heap of zombies coming our way.

First and foremost we must stop and prevent the chainreaction. We're going to need a lot of good strong and brave warriors, some of our best, to go around through the forrest and get behind the swarm.

We now know the monsters have a degree of intelligence to set up ambushes against our own forces, ill news, so be sure to keep in good touch with the Prophetess to avoid those by picking the right path.

We also know that even with the jungle on our side and great bonuses we are not strong enough to take on a monster alone. At least, by ourselves. We'll need to be even more smarter about them and avoid them for now.

Our warriors behind the zombie lines are going to need to start picking off zombies both in the hindmost of the swarm and preemtively killing zombies who might continue the chain through their noise. Once again, the Jungle is our shield and our strength, cut their heads off and slice their necks with a Mechette from behind a bush or above a branch before they have a chance to so much as yell a peep. Shoot them in the back of the head at point blank with a shotgun to muffle the noises.
Prioritize your actions to those zombies with the most threat of spreading the chain. Flora and Jungle naturally buffers noise, so try to lure those zombies back into the forest (and not the ones where monsters are waiting in ambush).

Witch Monika, if you could, make us a kind of brew or a spell of Silence to help us cut the chain by reducing or even hidering noise of the zombies, that'd be better.

Alternatively if you, the Prophet, or any among our chosen have the ability to grow vines and plants quickly that'd be highly useful. Not only would we tied down the zombies and further dismember them, but the increase in plant life would dull or even stop the noise entirely.

>con't

Rolled 68

>>33320489
At any time we CAN dull the noise we should.

“Garbles, you still got those tarps?”

When you see a group of zombies, leap down from the trees or high places and smother them in the Tarps to blind them and cut off their yells, and then take a machete and spill their blood so that the vines of the heart may aid us gods willing. Or if we have anyone or anyway to can control vines, we can drag them into the water and kill them there.

As for the swarm already approaching our base, lead them away from our base and into the jungles at all costs, no matter what. Bait them, lure them, use lure brew, lead them around and thin them out.

Meanwhile the Prophetess has proven to have unusual amount of foresight this time allowing us to avoid the monsters.

Witch Monik meanwhile refuses to aid us with spell or brew for some reason.

Meanwhile the idea of using tarps to nail tarps...went better then expected despite the fact that zombies were able to alert nearby ones but we used it against them to just slaughter more of them. We got lucky there.

Meanwhile we were able to successfully attract the attention of the oncoming swarm leading them away from our base. Against all odds those we selected for this purpose made it out alive...or more precise the sole person who had the guts to go out and lure them away. Sadly the people sent there all returned but one who they claimed continues to draw the zombies deeper into the jungle.

Last time we underestimated the strength and the intelligence of the monsters severely. Not only were they capable of defeating us even alone, they showed the intellect to ambush us in the very place we thought ourselves safe, the Jungle.

This must not stand. WE are the ones favored by the Jungle, not they.

I suggest, we have our Chosen Warriors and our best make probing attacks on the ambush sites. The Monsters are learning from us, we need to learn from them. Test what ways are effective at escaping and avoiding them, ways to trick them and how to watch out for their tricks. If we can learn of any weaknesses from them now that we are no longer underestimating them the better.

The more we learn from them, the better we can fight them. Our chosen warriors need to see what their special potential is, if they were found in combat perhaps they can be refined in combat.

Well when our forces sent probing forces they found out the monsters had were still there and yet were not there. Turns out the bastards of some sort of underground warrens that allows them to travel around so easily including ambush positions they had previously established.

As for how to escape one is best off going above. They don't seem to like using the ruins for their warrens their nests though are something else. To avoid one first identify their routes and avoid them. To trick them is to use their stuff against them.

Really though the big problem is...there are many kinds of monsters. Some are stupid while others can be downright devious. Problem is...there are no guarantees it depends upon what you are fighting the type and breed of monster in question. There is no strategy that works for them all...except for what we have seen among two types of figures.

Those known as the hunters and exterminators seem to know something about it.

Problem is monsters are built for...smaller amounts while the exterminators deal much better in larger qualities. So really even for they there is nothing that works for everything they themselves found a specialization granted it works for many but not all.

Chosen by the way acquired specialty...two specs that you have to decide upon.

The M Hunter Spec or M Exterminator Spec.

I'm wondering if exterminators means /exterminators/ as in
"LEAVE NO MONSTER ALIVE!"

Which may or may not be bad for us Paladins.

The way i see it, Hunters would be best for very stubborn tricky and intelligent monster who just won't die or the Titan sized monsters, while Exterminators would be better for killing the mass ignoramuses.

Rolled 74

I don't think it'd make them /exterminators/ as in the factions. Those guys are more of a faction archetype than some gained knowledge.

Exterminators would only be good for our OH SHIT situations (which happen all too often, to be fair), we can use Hunters any time in small operations that won't rile up forces we're too weak to deal with.

Basically unless we're planning on picking fights with monster hordes then we'll get more use from Hunters.

We voted to upgrade our Jungle Control to have jungle empathy twice, and we're doing fine right now but soon we will not be. When our shitty, backed-into-a-corner time comes I want to make sure we fought tooth and nail for every bonus we could possibly have so we might get out alive.

There are a few others I have hinted at if not outright stated but you never actually had them under your control.

heroes are special its the only reason why some seem to be better then others is based on the amount of story and power differences between them.

My personnel favorites among them are that weren't under you control BT, Rizal, Jenny, Slag, Cloaker, and Shara.

Our stocks went from Low and Low after we paid the bandits up to Good and Average within one turn. I think we're doing pretty good.

>>33324058
That's where we bring our waterlords, after we get these resourcs in I want us to be swimming in the stuff.

Alright, let's make a plan to kill those fucking monsters and get those resources once and for all.

Rolled 68

>Basic 1
Send our Hunters and some forces out to grab the materials in that monster nest while all the monsters are still out following that brave soul.

Rolled 91

>>33324118

The Nest might be pretty empty right now, seeing as the swarm originated there.

Alternatively if we want to be more cautious we could scavenge for resources this turn, and then use them to pay the bandits to assist us in a smash+grab on the Nest next turn.

We might or might not get more out of it the second way. Prophet, what do you see from these two action plans?

>>33324125
>>33324211
Actually I think it's the zombies who were lured away, the monsters are still around in the same number as before. Otherwise, how could we have probed their ambush positions?

Rolled 5

Basic 1
We want that holy grail of materials. We mean to ensure every single monster sitting on top of it is removed by any means.

Accordingly, as the monsters us tunnels to get to their ambush positions, we will need to move through the trees and tall ruins.

Next, we will need to bait them away. We can do this by having our hunters tactically activate their ambush locations in a strategic fashion, and then fleeing up and through the trees away from the ground and their tunnels, slowly drawing the monsters away by using their own methods against them until the Material position is clear for our forces to pillage EVERYTHING they possibly can.

If possible, find ways to kill them while you are at it, hunters.

Either we have cleared it out, or the situation changes to the worse, we pull out and again, avoid the places we now know they use. Prophetess Guide us, and gods be with us.

In addition, there are zombie corpses everywhere, once we've snagged all the materials and resources we can try to grab some of those monster corpses and bring them to feed the Heart as well.

Rolled 82

>>33324255

I dunno, it's unclear. Also it'd be 'relatively empty' at best. This is where the Prophet's sight will be particularly useful.

We should also ask Marlowe how he's feeling. We probably did the ritual of plant sense and ceremony of atonement on Marlowe (seeing as he was the only candidate), and it would pay to know what abilities he acquired.

Especially since Genie isn't giving us Jungle Empathy like we voted on, so we need some other way to talk with the Jungle.

Rolled 56

Actually no something like Skeller isn't. There are others like he.

Troops dispatched to bait the monsters. the hunters work quite will killing a few until numbers get too much...which they did.

Could of been worst though.

Meanwhile the rest of our forces moved through the trees(hard) and ruins(harder). It wasn't fast going by any means, but somewhat safe thanks to the local zombies recently being cleared away.

Only problem is...the monsters as in many of them never bothered leaving the nest. While others took the bait many seemed to stay put despite how tempting we made it look, but the ones who left luckily ended up staying that way.

So our forces are unsure what to do.

We are SO CLOSE dammit, the freaking monsters I swear to the gods we'll bleed them all out one day.

Alright, the way I see it we have relieved some of the pressure from the nest. If we can figure out a way to keep the most of them we've batied away to stay away, and pull out the hunters to help deal with the ones in the nest we'll have exactly the opening we need.

>>33324862
>>33324889

"Hey Bandit buddies, you help us hit this nest and get the materials out of it that we want and we'll enchant some of your guns and armor so that they're more powerful when you're around greenery and plants. We're in position for raiding it, but there's still quite a few beasts in there and we figure your expertise would let us get more out of a raid. Sound fair?"

>>33324958
Ugh, we fought so damn hard to keep it all to ourselves but at this point sharing with our allies shouldn't be so bad.

Better than fucking it up alone and then having no resources and dead people.

>>33324942

We can either call in the bandits to keep them out, call in the bandits to help us out with the actual insertion/raid (which would be good because they're bandits and have badass raider units, so they'd pull more materials out than us alone), or call out some more of our military forces to keep the monsters currently lured out in check while our hunters circle back to assist in the raid on the Nest.

>>33325011

Yeah, the deal should appeal to the bandits too. It's like the cooperative raids we had with the Outcasts, except these materials are going to be mostly unappealing to the bandits so we'll get to keep them.

In a sense, instead of 'splitting the materials' in the way it'd normally be done we're 'splitting the materials' by using what materials we need to use to enchant their stuff afterwards.

And it should be tempting to them, even if their home ground isn't particularly green, they come around this forest to operate often enough and they're looking for raid targets around here.

Hunters went to do their thing...except for one big problem. The monsters had caught on and they came in force overwhelming our forces utterly. So basically when you get down to it..the plan worked TOO well.

the forces we encountered was...token resistance we had thought it was because the hunters did their job especially well. When we got deeper in however...that was when we found out the truth.

Zombies.

Zombies fucking everywhere.

Even with heavy bandit support there was just too goddamn many of them even worst the terrain we were in was just so fucking against us. It was terrible especially for our bandit allies who discovered the wretched truth the hard way when they were about to tear stuff apart to loot revealing them.

Bandits did their best to withdrawal with an organized retreat covering their forces with suppressing fire alas the terrain wasn't exactly for them so they set up kill zones with turrets and withdrew running like hell the entire time. They did try to hold out for our guys so while they DID grab a number of our forces they didn't exactly stick around for too long.

And it is overcoming fear that we achieve strength, and succumbing to it that we falter.

Remember the words of Genie:
>Every successful civ had one thing in common the plans they used that lead to greatness required big balls.

>Because the dice pool rewards such things the most.
>My SYSTEM rewards such things the most.
>My SETTING rewards such things the most.
We beat the zombies twice now, despite overwhelming numbers on their part. We did it before, we can do it again. Just not now and not for a while.

>The potential losses don't mean shit compared to what happens if you have some success with a plan requiring balls.

This civ is suppose to be a test of that. If we fail then I guess we really are better off going back to being careful as fuck.

Rolled 83

Bah, fine. If we're going to do this then we're going to do it right though. We'll get resources, imbue our weapons and armor, then we're holding another Combat of the Gods and coming at this fuckers with jungle-empowered arms/armor AND with the fury of the trees at our backs.

Then we'll still split some of the loot to the bandits, or at least enchant their weapons because they were kind enough not to blame this failure on us.

Have no idea what to do with it though.

Seriously I never used paypal before.

Just be aware if I DO get fucking paid it means I will start to get a lot more serious. Mostly because I am one of those people who are highly incenvitzed when offered money.

Thankfully I have an actual group now for playing tabletop so having my hobby morph wont be too painful for me.

Question is conversion and playtesting.

I have for the most part the the framework done just got some kinks to work out regarding population mechanics...then well. That is when things get interesting as the next step is framework which isn't nearly so easily(fucking unit types and shit like lists of heroic archtypes and abilitie/trait lists its gonna suck so much ass).

So far i have been able to use /tg/ for basic crude playtesting but eventually I need for detailed stuff especially once things get advanced enough.

At the moment i have two modes for tabletop.

All players either share a civ playing a special unit and or hero who grant a bonus action.

OR

each player gets their own civ to command.
