Gesturing for the pack to follow once more, you round a bend, the chamber ahead of you. You can't see the kulakin warriors in ambush, though you trust Ashuris' magic enough to know they're there. The chamber must be some sort of nursery, tiny pale shapes writhe in a large sunken area at the centre of the massive cavern. Several kulakin stand between you and their whelps, hissing and spitting, brandishing spears. These ones look a little larger than the ones you met in the cavern, though it's all relative as the hunched creatures still don't reach your shoulder. Their skin is scarred and pitted, and they seem to be smeared with some sort of warpaint pattern... no, wait, you're pretty sure that's shit.

Either way, these are probably what pass for elite warriors in the Kulakin.

So how do you proceed, chieftain?

Kill dem.

Kill dem all

Yessssssss, thou saved me from boredom.

I wanted to start quests as well, but it really didn't go well. I guess I'll have to swallow the bitterness and keep myself to just reading.

Warlord, I must say, this is the only thing I can bear myself to read. And I don't say this lightly, I can't bring myself to read anything at all unless it's directly related to me, so take this as you will.

>>40092166
Considering we have Lurashka and Rasha, I almost wanna say sinkhole underneath their feet.

>>40092166
Just wanted to mention that some things in the character bios need updating, as Inka is most definitely not terrified of her current situation.

Had a question on the Kulakin actually, How would a swarm of them fare at chewing through Slaggyrs stony hide?

>>40092166
Form a green wall, kill everything

>>40092166
Make a show of nonhostility, see how they react?
Regardless, if it comes to fighting this shouldn't be too hard. I guess maybe threaten the small ones to draw the warriors' attention, maybe have the ones waiting in ambush emerge? Maybe have a the coven kill some of the ones hiding in the rock, just enough so that it won't be too big a drain on them.

>>40092304
Cheer up anon, this isn't my first ever attempt at quest running, and my previous ones all ended poorly, have a think about why you don't think it worked out and give it another shot.

Thanks anon, good to hear you're enjoying it so much.

>I can't bring myself to read anything at all unless it's directly related to me, so take this as you will.
Y-you're an orc?

>>40092346
How odd, I could have sworn I updated that.

Oh, I see, I updated the copy on my pc, but didn't paste the new version into google docs, I'll do that now.

>>40092354
Given time, Kulakin can chew through most things short of magical materials or metal. A dragon's hide would be tough, but they'd bury though it with time. The difficulty would be keeping said dragon from killing them all while they were trying to do so.

What are we doing here anyway? Are we exterminating them? I thought this was just an exploration thing.

>>40092368
They're a group mind that we've been slaughtering I don't know if a show of non-hostility will do much.
Threatening the undeveloped may work, or it may not if they breed fast enough/ are batfuck insane

>>40092445
He is The Great Bra'kur reincarnated.

>>40092473
And he does not touch balls with other men.

>>40092457
I mentioned nonhostility because we're in a nursery, the protection of the young may be worth letting us go for them.

>>40092445
I was more asking about the ability to chew through it in comparison to say iron and steel weapons.

It might be a good idea to mind control a group and have them attack Slaggyr while we distract him instead of just charging in ourself.

>>40092166
Kill them all

>>40092166
How far is it to get back to our main camp? We could just head back, sit down, grab some snacks, drinks and stuff, and come back here in like an hour, tops.

Is it too far for that? Would the Kulakin pursue us? Would they flee, setting up camp somewhere else? If that's the case, then let's just kill 'em all, taking little risks.

>>40092457
If we get out of here, there are ways to deal with the nest. We could smoke them out with fires, or we could try and divert the river to flush them out or drown them- Vaki might be willing to help with that, or suggesting it might piss her off. Hard to tell with fey. in any case, as stand-up fight isn't necessarily the best solution here, though it would probably be good for morale.

>>40092562
I was hoping we could have sent one of our orcs back to get the other group to join us, since these chambers are getting bigger.

>>40092546
Dragon hide is tough, especially the hide of an Earth Dragon, which is particularly thick. It is something they would have to spend quite some time gnawing away at, like, a few hours.

At best they would be an annoyance.

>>40092562
You've been pushing through these caverns for about an hour, and according to the coven the kulakin are also following you, not just in front. Either you force your way back to the exit or push forward, you can't just rush back.

Eh, this is pretty much a training exercise in CAVE FIGHTAN for Orcs.

>>40092445
I can't into grammar, I have huge troubles with past tenses and I can't get to get better at it, timezones are really fucking me up too. Also lacking the will to start and then continue.
>Y-you're an orc?
Noyes. I am.

>>40092569
Let's slaughter them all and ask Vaki if she knows how we can flood the tunnels to get any we missed.

Worst case secnario we get the Witches to do it.

>>40092609
Lordy, would going through this as endurance training count as something Skor'oz Zik would be pleased by?
>>40092605
Could we have the coven communicate with our orcs back home somehow? Like, make them a statue/figure of Ur pointing in our direction?
Actually, can we have the coven try to dominate one of these things?

>>40092669
what no we wanted to use them for the ogre full moon ritual

>>40092672
If we were gonna dominate anything, it'd be the broodmother, considering she's the center of their 'network'.

Okay, since there's a few options coming up, let's put it to a vote.

>Kill them all
>Coven sinkhole
>Coven mind control
>Show of nonhostility
>Threat towards their whelps

Bear in mind that since you have no-one who speaks kulakin, the threats and show of nonhostility would be entirely reliant on body language and noises rather than actual speaking.

>>40092672
>Lordy, would going through this as endurance training count as something Skor'oz Zik would be pleased by?
Slaughtering your way through a nest of enemies is more the domain of the two war gods.

>Could we have the coven communicate with our orcs back home somehow? Like, make them a statue/figure of Ur pointing in our direction?
They can't project it that far or that accurately, at least not without the full moon post-blood sacrifice.

>>40092640
>I can't into grammar,
Doesn't matter on /tg/
>I have huge troubles with past tenses and I can't get to get better at it,
Write in the present tense like Warlord
>timezones are really fucking me up too.
Warlord runs a weird ass time too. No excuses.
>Also lacking the will to start and then continue.
Pick the quest you would most like to play and run it. Once/if you get players they'll be the thing that keeps you wanting to return. Also my strategy is to create a character that I love/care about and pray to god the players dont kill/maim whatever to them. No favoritism though.

Just some tips.

Witches need to conserve their strength for Big Mama.

>>40092729
We have no indication of this though, since they can rebuild even if the broodmother is killed, we weren't told that the broodmother is the center, it can just be a uniformally collective consciousness.
>>40092735

>>40092835
If we dominate the broodmother, the rest will follow without question.

So you want our Exhausted as fuck witches to Mind control a 100+ Kulakin at the same time? When they have a hivemind and a shaman and a Broodmother?

Maybe if we killed the Shaman and the brood mother first and they were at full strength but as is that's just a good way to put them on their asses.

>>40092822
Don't worry Lordy, I don't think your run times are weird.

>>40092735
>>Kill them all

Could we get the coven to curse Slaggyr on a ritual night? What kind of curse could we expect to reasonably pull off even for a relatively short time?

>>40092735
Time to just kill 'em all. Let's advance slowly, in a close formation, protecting the witches. If the cavern is big enough for axes, we should use whatever is nore comfortable and fitting for our warriors. Or maybe a spear cluster is better against these rat filth.

>>40092735

Yes, they can do one which I completely forgot to add to their sheet because I am dumb. Causes extreme claustrophobia and difficulty breathing. You can also never get the taste of damp earth out of your mouth, but that's more of a side effect.

I recall you saying the command modifier applies when you tell people what to do but you yourself don't do it, though.
Like that time Or'kug sent some of the orcs to get in ambush position in the Skyhunter mine.

>>40093051
It was a roll combining the charge with you remembering to order some of your warriors to protect the sides/back against Kulakin ambush.

>>40093078
Have I ever told you that you're cute?

>>40093097
Depends, are you the same anon who told me once before in this quest that I was cute?

>>40093126
Maybe, I don't remember.
If you were being cute, then that might be the case.

>>40093126
Nigga, you kawaii.

No sense in changing a tactic that works, you suppose. Stepping out into the chamber, you raise your spear, roaring. Your warriors charge in behind you as you close in on the scarred kulakin at the centre of the chamber.

You bark out orders for the ones at the back to cover your charge against Kulakin lying in ambush, and to keep the coven safe, but it seems the bloodlust that's been building up in these cramped tunnels is too strong for most of your warriors to want to hold back, and only a few remain to watch the rear.

You clash with the kulakin warriors in the middle of the chamber, swatting aside the stone spear and thrusting your own into the shoulder of the enemy warrior, which twists enough to avoid a fatal blow. A couple of your warriors in their enthusiasm to charge the enemy line end up suffering injuries from the primitive weapons, but nothing fatal, and the enemy line reels from the force of the charge, the smaller kulakin overwhelmed by raw power.

“Ur, more coming in from the sides,” Ya'zada shouts, and you pull the spear free of the Kulakin's shoulder, driving it into the creature's guts before it can retaliate. The thing gives a pitiful mewl, dropping its spear, and you plant a boot on it to pry your spear free, glancing over your shoulder.

The four orcs who stayed behind to guard the rear are just barely holding their own against a sudden rush of kulakin from the walls, and you are thankful that Ya'zada decided to join in on defending your flanks, or you suspect that they would have folded entirely under the wave of attackers.

(cont)

>>40093263
One of the warriors roars in pain as a spear pierces his leg, and the kulakin swarm through the gap towards the back of your line, and the coven. The witches start to chant, but the kulakin hurl rocks as they charge, pelting the witches and disrupting their concentration. The first of the kulakin reaches the coven only to have his head caved in as Ashuris brings a fist down on his skull, shouting something in ogrish.

While the coven is strong, and Ya'zada and the orcs are doing their best to prevent any more kulakin from pushing past them, it's clear that they are heavily pressed. You could switch to the back, but the Kulakin warriors at the front aren't folding to your charge yet, despite several now lying dead, and they might still rally. Alternatively, you could trust in your warriors at the rear and focus on ending the elite warriors in front of you, then join the rear defense.

>Keep fighting at the front
>Switch to the rear

>Any specific commands? (write-in)

>>40093187
>>40093246
I'm not really sure what it is that you think I do that's so cute, but thanks... I think.

Good!

“You three, help guard the back,” you bark, gesturing to a trio of warriors on the front line who have overwhelmed the enemy in front of them.

It's pleasing to see how quickly they jump to follow your orders, and trusting in the extra support to help cover the rear, you focus on the battle before you. With a cry of rage, you throw yourself at a pair of the kulakin elite ganging up on one of your warriors, driving your spear between the ribs of the one nearest you as he raises his arm to strike. Another kulakin rounds on you with a screech, and without time to pry your spear free, you pull the dagger from your belt, driving it up under his jaw, slicing open the jugular.

You grin, twisting your arm to rip the spear free and turning on another, drumbeats heavy in your skull, fire beneath your skin as adrenaline burns in your veins. Another of the so-called elites, tiny insignificant creatures before orcish might, leaps at you brandishing a puny axe. You swat aside the blow with force enough to shatter the frail bones of the creature's arm, reversing the grip on the dagger and hammering it down into the weakling's skull, burying it to the hilt.

You tear the dagger loose, baring your teeth at three more kulakin as they charge, their attack faltering, weakness in their hearts. They are no warriors, they are nothing, you drive your spear into the first, straight through the chest, the second howling as your dagger drives up into his heart under the armpit. The third thinks itself fortunate for your lack of weapons, but it knows nothing of orcish strength, you release your grip on the spear and dagger, bringing your hands together on the thin skull of your foe, squeezing until you hear it crack between your palms.

The drums start to fade, the fire cools to embers in your veins. The kulakin attack collapses, the last survivors picked off by your warriors. You let out a deep breath, that was... something.

>>40093724
>Kul'zog Zor Boon uncovered, Orcish Fury, from now on you will have the choice to slip into a berserk rage during combat, which will increase melee ability, strength, and resistance to injury, as well as inspiring your orcs to join in on your rampage. However while under the effects of the fury, you cannot command your warriors to do anything other than kill harder, so tactics are right out.

and congratulations on uncovering your other boon from the tongueripper battle. Since the battle you've never really cut loose, so it's never had a chance to kick in.

>I know we supposedly got a milf god boon, but that has yet to show.
Why are you pulling this out of your ass? Lordy has said nothing to indicate this.

>>40093808
Who knows.

>>40093816
Overuse will exhaust Ur, which since he won't feel the exhaustion while under the effect of the fury would result in him collapsing once it expired.

>>40093829
He said we got boons from from most of the gods(the ones we didn't were the hunting and ida woods gods).
We got the crafting god boon, the fire warrior god boon, now whats left is the sneaky god and maybe milf god.

>>40093844
Is it a berserker rage like he ignores wounds he receives and pays less attention to protecting himself or is it just and all around "You fight Better" boost?

“Damn Ur, that was brutal,” Ya'zada grins, slapping you on the shoulder, and you feel your hand twitch. You're still a little on edge, that was a rush.

“Any survivors?”

“No, the Kulakin don't really seem to do surrender, when they're injured they just try to escape back into the rock, or keep attacking,” Ya'zada explains, walking forward to peer into the pit of squirming kulakin whelps.

“What about injuries on our side?” you grunt, turning to survey your pack. Just from looking you can tell no-one is seriously injured, though a few of your warriors are favoring minor injuries, and one is limping from a spear to the thigh.

"Nothing that'll stop us keeping on."

The coven looks mostly uninjured, Ashuris grumbling about bruising knuckles from where she beat two of the kulakin to death.

“So what do we do with these things?” Ya'zada calls, still staring down into the sunken area.

>We'll take them with us when we leave
>Forget them
>Kill them

>>40093891
It's a berserker rage, which also inspires those around him to fight harder and more aggressively.

>>40093907

>>40093907

>Kill them

>>40093946
Ylugri is a dick, so yes.

>>40093959
Everyone you have spoken to about kulakin has pretty much called them the most useless things to ever exist.

You might be able to get something valuable out of a broodmother, but Ku'zag never said anything about it.

>>40093907
>>Kill them
But ask Ash if they would make good sacrifices first. If she says yes then take them.

We'll have to store them securely somehow, though, so they don't just tunnel away or chew through their bonds. How fast do kulakin grow, anyway?

>>40094074
You have no idea, though most likely from what you've been told they grow very fast.

>>40094074

Looks like you're asking the coven if they have a use for them, then either killing them or coming back for them later to keep as sacrifices.

We could just string them up by their feet.
Point is, storing them isn't that hard, just don't let their mouth reach their restraints.

Man, I kind of feel bad now, did seriously no orcs in the history of orckind thought of this?

>>40094180
I think most orcs didnt have a coven of witches with a constant need of sacrifices

Lordy, do Improved Fertility and Improved Pheromones count as two separate boons, or did they come as a bundle? I'm asking does it count as a single instance of being blessed, or as two?

>>40094206
Slaves though.
Remember the idea that we could tie Kulaki to some sticks with only their heads hanging forward and use them to mind faster?

>>40094211
In that instance, as a bundle. If you increase the level of them later, they will be individual.

>>40094223
I'll admit to forgetting about that one, It seems somewhat unmanageable though? nothing tried nothing gained I guess

“Ashuris,” you call, walking over to the edge of the pit.

The ogress joins you momentarily, brushing off dust and blood as best she can.

“Were those kulakin at the front covered in their own shit? These things get more revolting every time we encounter them,” she grumbles, looking down into the pit with an expression as if the kulakin whelps were something she just scraped off the bottom of her foot.

“The whelps, can you use them for sacrifices?”

She frowns, looking up at you.

“You want me to kill two dozen infants?”

“Is that a problem?”

“No, it's just a hassle. They look like they squirm, and leak.”

You shrug, the ogress rolling her eyes in response.

“I suppose I can't really be picky, and Ylugri would accept their deaths, though I doubt kulakin souls are worthy enough to warrant any serious reward. The sooner you find me some proper sacrifices the better. Giants, humans, elves... I'll even settle for goblins.”

You nod, turning to your pack.

“Leave them, we'll pick them up on the way back. Let's move on.”

Your warriors fall into formation once more as you press on into the tunnels, the tired coven muttering their magics as they test the tunnels for further ambushes.

“It looks like they're pulling back towards the biggest chamber, most of them are anyway. I'm still picking up a few signs of life from one of the other chambers near here though.”

Exactly how NO TACTICS does Orcish Fury make Ur? Could he go into berserk mode but keep from killing a specific enemy if he decided to do this before going berserk, for instance?

>>40094395
>Check the other chamber with life in it

Other chamber it is.

Writing.

>>40094633
While berserk, Ur will kill anything he considers to be an enemy.

You could try to force him out of the fury before it runs its course if you succeed at a will roll however, the difficulty will be dependent on just how bloody things are.

>>40094680
The character sheet doesn't have the new chest plate on it, by the way.

“We'll check the other chamber, I don't want whatever's in there coming at us from behind,” you grunt.

Ashuris nods, telling you the route to take as you carry on through the maze of tunnels. You suffer no more ambushes, and the witch informs you that the kulakin have no fully pulled back to the biggest chamber, well over a hundred of them, save for a few life signs in the chamber you're now approaching.

“Urgh, stinks here,” Ya'zada comments, wrinkling her nose, and you have to agree that even by the standards of the kulakin tunnels, it smells particularly foul here.

“The chamber's just up ahead. There's five living things in the chamber ahead... I think,” Ashuris explains.

“You think?”

“One of them is definitely a living being, the other four are... strange. Perhaps magical beings of some sort, I don't know,” the ogress frowns.

You frown, slowing down and approaching the chamber more cautiously. As you round the corner to the chamber, the stench hits you like a wall. You spot a crude altar at the far end of the chamber, a lumpen effigy of stone hunched over a flat rock stained with dried blood. To the side of the altar a large pit yawns, the sides stained with further dark marks of past sacrifice.

As you step further into the chamber, you see no signs of life, save for one small bundle in the corner, writhing and thrashing on the ground.

(cont)

>>40094822
You glance around. The chamber is smeared with what you suppose passes for kulakin art, shitsmears and crude scratches in the wall depicting kulakin killing things and digging.

“Keep an eye out for anything moving,” you grunt quietly, glancing around the chamber as you step inside.

Ashuris frowns as she follows, looking around.

“I can definitely sense several things alive in the chamber. That over there is the normal sign,” she explains, gesturing to the thrashing bundle.

“Are they hiding in the walls again?” Ya'zada asks, but the ogress shakes her head.

“They should be right in front of us.”

You look around, but all you can see if piles of brightly colored shredded fabric, leather, discarded and broken weapons, and piles of offal, dung and shattered bone.

“Repulsive, is this what passes for worship for these creatures,” Lurashka spits, as your group steps fully into the chamber, spears out, scanning the cavern for movement.

Does write-in improve this?
I would suggest pushing our spear into the "empty space" that Ash says should be where the life signs are, or have the coven collapse the ground or erupt lava or something.

>>40094841
Man. What do these things eat? If they eat rock, then maybe we could keep them as slaves, or at least try, but otherwise they're just a waste of space.

And I'm not sure about killing the Kulakin whelps. That does seem like gelding males, a line that should be crossed very carefully.

>>40094962
>And I'm not sure about killing the Kulakin whelps. That does seem like gelding males, a line that should be crossed very carefully.
What?
Are you a retard who thinks we should free the slaves?

>>40094956
If this is their temple, I'm wondering we aren't dealing with divine servants of whatever god they worship.

>>40094956
nah, this is an observation roll. With three witches and 20 orcs and a 17 we'll spot whatever it is.

>>40094993
anon most people are not in favor of gelding male slaves

Reminder that it is past the time to Ascend to another level of Tusk

>>40094993
No. It just seems like Ur is a dude that's about domination, having fun, fighting and revelling. Killing infants without even trying some alternative is a bit much.

I mean, yeah, they're useless. If nobody can even think of anything to do with them, then yeah. Drown them. Burn them. Drown them AND burn them. They're a burden on food supplies, and a potential threat.

>>40095030
You do realize there was not even a hint that I agree with gelding male slaves in my post, right?

>>40094962
These things are mindless creatures.

>>40095030
>>40094962
>>40095047
No one wants to geld our male slaves. But these things are not our slaves, their only value is as a shitty sacrifice.

And it's been said several times, as long as there is one alive they are a threat. So let's sacrifice them, flood the tunnels and be done with it.

>>40095078
>flood the tunnel
Why? If the witches can dominate them, we can leave one alive, have them dominate him, and that way they should be able to tell if there are any others left, and possibly where they are as well.

Your warriors start to fan out into the chamber, slow and cautious. You keep an eye on the bundle in the corner, but it just continues to thrash. The stink grows worse and worse as you step between piles of waste and filth, and you can practically feel the stench clinging to your skin.

“I'm sure I sensed something,” Ashuris mutters to herself, looking a little unsure as your warriors spread out.

You eye the chamber warily, eyes flicking from side to side. While you can't see anything, Ashuris' senses haven't let you down so far, and this chamber makes you uneasy.

Two of your warriors start to head towards the back of the chamber, towards the bundle, and that's when you spot it, an almost imperceptible shift in one of the foul piles, bones shifting amidst offal and filth.

“You two, back,” you bark, as the pile starts to rise, taking on hunched, humanoid figure, bone fragments shifting into the crude mask bearing kulakin features.

The orcs back away from the pile as it pulls itself to its full height, every bit as tall as your warriors, and you see three other piles starting to twist themselves up into a mockery of life, your orcs starting to back up into a group once more.

“They're... divine servants. The kulakin summon divine servants into piles of garbage. Disgusting,” Ashuris snarls, as the four hulking figures squelch and gurgle, bone shards ripping free of the rancid arms of the creatures to form primitive claws.

This could be a problem.

What now, warlord?

Ur's gotta' get rid of them. They really are just sub-sentient shitsmears. But he would toss around the idea of keeping them alive, even if he realizes that it's useless. He's not that big a dick. (Figuratively.)

They're divine servants of some shitty Kulaki god.
If they can take out 100 Kulaki then we're fucked by fighting them alone, could've at least have the coven do a lava spell to weaken them.

We have no idea how often we can use it without it counting as overuse.

We summon Rik once we're in the big chamber.

We're bigger stronger and have a better weapon than these things. They may be divine Servants compared to the Kulkari but to us they're still trash.

>>40095639
My guess it was at 19

>>40095637
>Do you also stay to work overtime when your boss pays you?
yes. and overtime pay is time and a half so the extra work is worth more than the regular. So if we get rewarded for this then it'll be bretty gud.

>>40095790

>>40095964
Are you forgetting there's a hundred of them waiting for us across the hall?

>>40095985
They have claws made of bone, are about a foot shorter than us, weaker than us, have no armor, and are made of refuse.

We have a great axe that'll cleave them in two, in impenetrable chestplate, Berserk mode, a dagger that'll freeze their asses, and are a fucking strong as fuck orc chieftain.

>>40096050
How do you kill what is made of shit?

“You ready, Ur?” Ya'zada asks, tossing aside her spear to retrieve her axe.

You grin, putting a hand on her shoulder. “No, I've got this.”

“You... sure? These things may be made out of shit, but they're still divine servants.” your mate asks, casting you an uneasy glance from her one eye.

You pull your greataxe from your back, feeling the drums building in your skull once more. You feel incredible, you have the strength of the orcish gods flowing through your veins. Zul'orok Zhar will be pleased with this battle in his name.

“I'm sure.”

With a roar, you raise your axe and throw yourself at the creatures, they gurgle, leaving a trail of gore as the drag their rancid forms to meet you. You feel the hammering in your skull, the familiar fire, it's intoxicating, you feel invincible.

You cleave into the first of the servants, carving through offal and filth, its arm dropping to the ground with a wet slop. The thing gurgles, slamming a bone-clawed hand into your breastplate, and you dig in your heels against the force of the blow, far stronger than any weakling kulakin, but not strong enough.

Another comes at you from the side, and you duck low, spinning your axe around and carving into its belly, spilling trails of what passes for festering guts in the divine servant's mockery of a form. It drools filthy water from the mouth of its mask, bringing a fist down on your skull. You feel the bone shards rake into your skin, not deep enough to cause serious injury. These things feel no pain, but neither do you, and if it's a battle of endurance they want, they'll lose.

(cont)

>>40096041
>have to spend favor to do it
Stop pulling shit out of your ass anon.

>>40096050
Anon.
They are divine servants.
There are 4 of them.
At full power.

>>40096060
You wade into the four, carving and hacking. You don't stop when one of them falls, split in half from mask to groin. You don't stop when you feel the claws of another of the divine servants tearing through your your leggings, gouging into your thigh. You don't stop when a hard blow catches you on the hand, fingerbones cracking from the impact, you simply grasp the axe in your one good hand, and you keep fighting. You don't stop fighting as one of the creatures brings its weight down on your back, muscles straining against the intense weight as you feel bone teeth scraping against your scalp. You won't stop, even if they shatter your skull, you can't stop, never.

Then the weight leaves you, and with it, the drums, pain in your ears, a voice shouting for you, the divine servant dragging itself back to its feet where it fell, a battleaxe lodged between the fractured bone of its mask.

The fire retreats back into your veins, leaving only pain behind, and you stumble, your useless hand slipping as you try to catch yourself, collapsing to your knees, coughing up thick, dark blood. Your vision swims, dark at the edges. You feel weak.

I want to see orge tits view on what just happened.
I want to see her true feelings.

>>40096082
>>Be Ya'zada
Why would we be ash? She's a slave and makes no decisions. Ya'zada is in charge.

>>40096188
>>didn't even kill all of them
cept we did.

>>40096188
>>we haven't summoned him
we dont have to be the one to.

Lol, so before we even killed the boss we came for we suicided into a pile of literal shitmonsters.

Ur and the great battle against horrible infection!

>>40096203
On the bright side if we survive it we get a boon out of it.

>>40096082
>>Be Ya'zada
Let's just fighting retreat our to the river to wash off Ur

Grab the bundle too.

>>40096204

>the divine servant dragging itself back to its feet where it fell

>>40096226
I think these fuckers would be the boss honestly, they were supposed to sneak up behind us.

>>40096217
could you not samefag

>>40096217
Except No one else knows how to summon him and the shit things aren't dead. Moron!

>>40096227
>>40096226
Just get him to the river and he'll be fine. Orcs are unnaturally resistant to infection and disease.

We one handed our battleaxe into it's face, it ain't living.

>>40096251
Nah, they're defending whatever the Bundle is.

Future queen? Stolen blessed child? Something nobody cares about?

>>40096226
The only real "boss" left would be a weak shaman, and a brood mother, both of which should be weaker than these divine servants.
I'm glad we didn't get ambushed by these.

Be Ya'zada wins.

You have a greataxe.

Ya'zada has a battleaxe.

>>40096278
Broodmother is the shaman, also funky psychic queen of the hive.

>>40096082
>be Ya'zada
Whooooops!

Turns out tactics are good!

>>40096278
Yeah, better to fight them separately than to have them ambush us in the main chamber.

I hate anons, so, so much.
Not only did they vote for something more retarded than ever before, they keep insisting that they weren't the ones in the wrong.

>>NOT LIVING
Meaning it won't last long you retarded fuck. it's "dead" in that it has no chance of doing any more damage.

>>40096297
I gotta ask having just popped into this. How stupid were they to try and solo 4 shit monsters of some creepy ass filth god that apparently survive having their "heads" caved in with an axe?

>>40096334
hahhahahaha
