So is Orge satan the only Orge god left?

>>40387814
>left
I don't think there were ever other ogre gods.
I mean, Ylugri was/is part of the Giant pantheon, it's just that ogres switched to monotheism after being fucked over by all the Giant gods who weren't literally Satan.

>tfw the forest thing is Shia Labeouf
We're doomed unless we get some real damn good rolls.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0u4M6vppCI

>>40387814
Ylugri wasn't exactly the "ogre god" originally, ogres worshipped the giant pantheon which included Ylugri as a trickster figure and foil to the gods.

Then the worship of Ylugri started to take off in ogre cities, mainly because many ogres felt that the rest of the pantheon favored giants over what many giants saw as their "lesser kin". Over time Ylugri came to be seen as the Ogre God, while the giantish pantheon's worship in ogre civilization died away.

The the ogres went and shamed the giantish gods with their awe-inspiring monuments to Ylugri, and the curse happened, at least that's the version of events you've heard from Ashuris.

Ku'zag's version suggests it wasn't quite as one-sided as that and that part of it may have been the ogres growing taste for blood sacrifice which led to increased raiding against giantish neighbours.

Neither version denies that the giantish gods are petty, egotistical cunts though.

>>40387873
Ylugri did nothing wrong.

>>40387758
Hey is
>Thea – Slave of Or'kaz. A dark haired human woman formerly of the mountain-dwelling Cloud Tribe. Skilled at leatherwork, seems a bit prone to histrionics. 22 years old, 5'9” in height.
Is she working in anyway?
Also i remember you saying that this would be up for a vote a while back
>Sarsi – Male elf, blacksmith, formerly part of Koasa's ruling council, given to Y'zoa to help train her in her craft.
Talking about only teaching Y'zoa the lesser of our two blacksmiths.
Also is the lazy git working harder now after being possessed?

>>40387889
>Is she working in anyway?
Yes, she fixes up armor and clothing when required.

>Talking about only teaching Y'zoa the lesser of our two blacksmiths.
There's not much Sarsi can teach Or'kaz, Or'kaz is a reasonably skilled smith when he's not being lazy as fuck, he just needs to shake off the rust.

>Also is the lazy git working harder now after being possessed?
Yes.

>>40387889
>Also is the lazy git working harder now after being possessed?
Anon, it has sort of been slightly hinted at that Or'kaz might just become a priest of Zul'orok Zhar after his possession.
Give him time, besides, we haven't heard of him since Ur got wrecked.
I kind of want to do that lava forge idea now though, get the witches to make a forge that burns "forever".

“How many?”

Vaki frowns, cocking her head.

“Three... or four, Vaki thinks.”

“and how big are these things?”

The fey stretches out her arms as wide as they'll go. “Bigger than this, not as big as Ur, not quite, but a lot bigger than Vaki.”

Sounds like they could be trouble, and you definitely don't want to fight them in terrain like this where the trees will get in the way of your axe, you had enough of that in the caverns. You pick up your pace, swatting aside branches and fossilized undergrowth, ignoring the stinging as sharp stone twigs and bracken scratch at every exposed bit of skin.

“Anywhere up ahead we could ambush from?”

“Hmm, Vaki thinks there's a clearing up ahead, lots of places to hide too,” the fey nods, grinning.

“When we reach the clearing, we'll circle back around and hit them from behind when they come out into the open, can you do that, Vaki?”

The fey grins a predatory grin, pointed teeth gleaming in the moonlight. “Vaki can do that.”

You hear a loud baying as you push on towards the clearing, Vaki leading the way, slipping through the stony underbrush with fluid grace. It still sounds far off for now, but each time you hear it it's drawing closer.

Finally Vaki hops out into a clearing, where it looks like the stone trees have been shattered and destroyed by some sort of battle, fragments and smashed remnants littering the ground.

You run for the fast end of the clearing together, vaulting over stumps and petrified lumber, the baying sounds coming ever nearer. When you push into the foliage on the far side, you slow your pace, picking your way as carefully as possible back around the edge to find a good ambush spot. Once you think you've found one, you crouch down and wait, Vaki still as a statue beside you.

I have been meaning to ask this for a while.
So as time goes on will our spell casters learn spells naturally, and could we vote what they learn(not micromanage but in general direction like ur telling them what he wants them to know)?
I thought of this when we first talked to (The Great) Bra'kur in his tenet while he was reading(something Ur really should work on).
>>40387984
I'm just glad we got a 17.

>>40388010
I will let you guide spellcasters who are your slaves on what they should learn, but the rest you'd have to go out of your way to tell them what to learn, which they might resent.

>>40388030
Ok cool, and will you tell us when our non-slave members learn new stuff or will anons who pay attention to the docs notice first?
also got any hints about what the coven needs to get new shit?

Iron Tusk fucking wen?

>>40388010
>and could we vote what they learn
Nah, i dislike the micromanagement of npcs.

>>40388066
>spoiler
More sacrifices.
The coven don't learn spells, they get their fancy magic from Ylugri.
>>40388030
The above is true, right? I seem to recall Ash dispelling a hex at some point, to be honest.
>>40388072
Iron Tusks sounds like shit, to be honest.
Let's stick with Stonetusks until something appropriate and better sounding comes up.

>>40388066
>what the coven needs to get new shit?
Better sacrifices.

>>40388077
which is why i specifically said not micromanage, but a suggestion like could you try learning something that slows people charging at us, but that point is moot anyway when it comes to clan members.

>>40388108
So, micromanaging, with a chance of it having no effect.

>>40388122
eh maybe, but i meant it as a group suggestion instead of ordering one person.

The creatures slip out into the clearing, barely disturbing the stony trees despite their size. There are four of them, powerful, squat, four-legged beasts coated in a thick layer of shaggy, striped hair.

The lead one, slightly larger than the others, sniffs the ground, throwing its head back and baying loud enough to set your teeth on edge. Its flat face scans the edges of the clearing, dark beady eyes sweeping the undergrowth. The creature peels its lips back into a freakishly wide grin, a row of razor-sharp teeth stretching from ear to ear. For a moment you think it spots you as its head swivels by your position, but then it pads on, sniffing as it goes.

The rest follow, one baring its teeth into a humorless grin and letting out a sound of harsh laughter as it hops over a fallen tree. As they move past you, you nod to Vaki, the fey gripping her fishing spear tight in her hands as the two of you slip out of the undergrowth, picking your way through the stone-strewn clearing towards the rear of the group.

The beast at the back of the pack notices you, but just too late to make a difference, as you and Vaki set on it, your axe cleaving off a leg as the tiny fey leaps onto its back, driving her spear between the beast's ribs with a series of swift, precise jabs.

The creature dies, face still locked in a wide toothy smile, laughing at its own demise. The rest of the pack wheel around to face you, baying and laughing, the pack leader's grinning mouth splitting open, revealing a second set of teeth beneath.

>Assume a defensive position back to back with Vaki
>Push the advantage and attack again before they can react

>>40388164
>Push the advantage and attack again before they can react

There ain't no advantage, it's still 2v3

>>40388091
>The above is true, right? I seem to recall Ash dispelling a hex at some point, to be honest.
They learn spells, countermagic is just something that all spellcasters learn as a matter of course to some degree.

>>40388164
>>Push the advantage and attack again before they can react
Try for another quick takedown, if it seems like they could surround us or get an attack that isn't easy to defend against in, retreat and assume defensive position.
>>40388201
Surprising someone and having the initiative IS an advantage.

>>40388197
>Y'zoa – Good friends with Y'zoa.
Don't know what you're talking about anon, it never said that, you're talking crazy talk.

>>40388210
I thought you said priests usually don't learn Arcane stuff, because that stuff is too different from Divine stuff.
Does that mean the coven don't count as Ylugri's priests, or are the spells you're talking about Divine?

>>40388164
>Push the advantage and attack again before they can react

>>40388164
>Assume a defensive position back to back with Vaki

>>40388230
Countermagic is countermagic, it's not arcane or divine, it's just forcing disruptive magical energy into someone else's magic.

>>40388164
Try to get one more quick kill.

>>40388164
>Push the advantage and attack again before they can react

Not sure what they are but, can we tame one of them ? They seems wargy enough for me.

>>40388267
Seems to intelligent but not. Like the Kulakin.

>>40388267
they seem like fey hyenas, or other shit in the crone lands.

>>40388267
They're a pack of bandersnatch, not really tamable without spells designed to control magical beings.

>>40388164
>>Push the advantage and attack again before they can react

>>40388336
>not really tamable
uhm, maybe we can crossbreed with something more docile.

Alright, pushing the advantage wins.

No.

>>40388481
>>40388494
I know there are no crits, but if I hadn't rolled a someone could have rolled something better for the 4th roll.
Also yeah, Lordy said Ur gets the feeling Dru'ak and Zo'rok miss their hunts with Ur a bit, just the three of them.

>>40388507
Do you want to burn favor?

I can tell you that while this is a failed roll this is hardly an "oh shit we're dead" failure.

>>40388520
Does vaki get a roll or are you rolling for her?

>>40388520

>>40388520

Leaping over the corpse of the first fallen beast, you charge for the second. You swing your axe but connect with nothing but air as the beast leaps away, cackling.

You swear as you look around, realizing that you've pushed forward into the middle of the trio, which are now circling you and Vaki as the fey backs up towards you.

“Vaki forgot to mention, be careful of the hairy things howling at you too close, Ur, made Vaki feel all dizzy last time.”

You nod, locking eyes with the pack leader as he prowls, a wide grin on his face.

>Attack the leader
>Hold position, wait for them to attack
>Other (write-in)

Reminder that if you ever want to use THAT ability, you can ask.

>>40388594
I remember a few complaints about all those dice rolls slowing things down, so I just started rolling it myself, players now just roll for whoever you are currently controlling.

>>40388624
>Fake an attack on the leader, switch it around and surround one of the other beasts with Vaki.

>>40388624

>>40388650
>>40388653
>>40388674
Guys, you want to wait for the things that have magic howling magic to attack first instead of cutting off another one before we get fucked with that?
Oh, wait, I forgot, we have our super good chest piece, that should nullify any low tier magic.

>Reminder that if you ever want to use THAT ability, you can ask.

Multiple rows of teeth on a cat-like body says manticore to me, but they're missing the scorpion tail and man's face. Leucrotta, maybe? Those are basically fey hyenas.

>>40388624
Does Bra'kur give our clan members tattoos?

>>40388681
The berserk is actually really good. It's just that /tg/ cannot into sensible tactics or reading comprehension to realize that it's a group buff.

>>40388717

Are you sure?
>Its flat face scans the edges of the clearing, dark beady eyes sweeping the undergrowth. The creature peels its lips back into a freakishly wide grin, a row of razor-sharp teeth stretching from ear to ear.
Flat face and grin tells me they're humanish.
But anyway, they don't have to be established fey types, Lordy can just make shit up. They're called bandersnatch, if you want any mythology/folk stuff, bander sounds German to me.

>>40388774

“Vaki, when one of them comes for us, we cut it off from the other two and cut it down, got it?” you grunt.

The fey nods, the two of you standing back to back, watching the beasts as they skulk around you, cackling. You get the feeling they're waiting for you to lose your nerve, but you just snarl right back at them, squaring your shoulders and daring them to make a move.

One of the things takes the bait, launching itself at you ahead of the other two with a howl. You meet the attack head on, swinging for the beast, your greataxe biting into its side, it collides with you, cackling and spitting, claws raking over your breastplate, trying to force you to the ground with its bulk. You bellow back in the beast's face, seizing hold of the thick hair of its neck and throwing it down, it lands awkwardly on its side, struggling to right itself, but you aren't going to give it time to recover, bringing your axe down in a heavy arc, driving it through the thick neck muscles of the beast, shattering the spine and severing the arteries.

You head a frustrated howl from behind you as one of the beasts retreats, one eye put out and currently dangling from the end of Vaki's spear. Grinning, you spin around, drawing a dagger from your belt and throwing it in one practiced motion, the heavy blade lodging into the remaining eye of the surprised creature, burying into the beast's brain and dropping it where it stands.

The last of the bandersnatch, the pack leader, pulls back from his intended attack, retreating to a safe distance, watching you. It looks a lot less sure of itself than it did a minute ago.

Enemies can burn favor to force a reroll from you, making you roll another 3d20 and take that result instead if it's lower. You can burn your own favor to prevent that however.

meant to say if the roll is still high do they still get fucked(like we rolled a 19, but the reroll is 18)?

>>40389862
Yes, much like how you can despite your rerolls still not roll high enough to succeed, enemy favor burning is also not infallible, it just gives them an extra chance.

>>40389897
any flavor texted for the failed reroll?

>>40389928
Maybe

Yyessssssss. Lovely thanks Warlord for running today.

I wish you luck on your new quest, again your quest is the only one I can force myself to read. I hope that doesn't discourages you from continuing it though.

>>40390036
Thanks for playing, anon.

>I hope that doesn't discourages you from continuing it though.
You don't have to worry about that, I had a lot of fun running Disciple of Elshhu, not going to get discouraged.

You step forward, baring your teeth, standing as tall as you can, trying to cow the beast into submission. Apparently it doesn't feel like sticking around to find out what you've got planned though, as it promptly turns tail and runs off into the stony trees, leaving you and Vaki alone.

You give a growl of annoyance, another opportunity lost, well fine, you didn't even want that cowardly thing anyway...

“At least you still have Vaki,” the fey grins, prodding you on the arm.

“True, you're worth far more than some dumb beast,” you snort, patting the fey on the head as the pair of you set off once more towards your destination.

You push through the forest for what feels like hours, having long since grown accustomed to the stinging of countless tiny scratches from stony branches. Vaki pulls ahead sometimes but always returns, having apparently regained some confidence since your battle with the bandersnatch.

Eventually you push out of the stony forest onto a wide open plain, pale white grass whispering in the phantom wind, ghostly seeds drifting up into the sky in great clouds as the knee-high grass sheds its bounty.

“Over there, see those stones? That's the way out for Ur,” Vaki grins, pointing at a ring of stones jutting out of the flat plain, probably around ten minutes walk away.

(cont)

>>40390094
You pick up your pace, pleased to be free of the forest and with a goal in sight, Vaki jogging alongside you as you stride towards the exit. You hear a sound carrying on the air, a near inaudible screech, and the fey's ears park up, eyes going wide.

“Ur, Vaki thinks we need to go, right now,” the fey whispers, grabbing your arm and trying to tug you forward.

“What is it, Vaki?”

“Bad things, trouble, why Vaki doesn't come here often,” the fey explains, scanning the horizon.

Then you spot it, off to your left in the distance, a long avian neck rising from the tall grass, the head jerking from side to side, letting out a shrill warbling shriek. The thing is massive, and as it rises to its full height it must stand twice your height. It stretches out a pair of long blue and white wings, giving another shriek as its head swivels round, fixing on you and your companion.

The noise is echoed by another shriek from the left, then another, then two more answer from the right, more of the long-necked birds lifting themselves from some unseen hiding spot beneath the grass. How many of these things are there? Vaki seems to be desperately trying to drag you towards the standing stones, a panicked look on the fey's face.

>Is this a spirit, fey, or an animal?
It's a fey.

Everything from the place you're currently in is a kind of fey.

>>40390509
Everything in this area is a type of fey/magical beast.
Hell the not!hyenas were fey/magical beast.

Ur is hella fast apparently. Guess we know what our pro tier strat is now.

>>40390653
Warlord confirmed all three protag of his quest never skipped leg day.

>>40390537
Hey Warlord did you ever read Gantz?
If so would it be possible for Ur to fuck a monster made of women in the face and make it orgasm?
Does such a monster exist?

>>40390697
Gantz was terrible, plz leave

>>40390697
I read some of Gantz, it just got too damned bizarre for me later on, plus the MC's girlfriend was boring as hell, which I think was supposed to be the point, that she was 'ordinary', but that didn't make her any less boring.

As for that sort of creature, perhaps as some bizarre divine servant out there somewhere, I guess, maybe.

With a grunt, shift your grip on your axe, freeing up an arm. Vaki gives a surprised squeak as you scoop her up, breaking into a sprint. The fey clings to you as you run, the white grass a blur under your feet. The birds shrieks grow louder as they start to close in on your position, and you duck your head as a clawed foot rakes past your skull.

The birds are fast, unnaturally so, but they still can't pin you down, and you slam the flat of your axe into a beak as it pecks at your heels. Another tries to trample you underfoot, but you dive between its stilt-like legs, bounding back up to your feet as you land, Vaki still held firmly to your chest, the two birds snapping at each other as they collide behind you.

“It's there, hurry, jump into the water,” Vaki shouts as you sprint to the standing stones, spotting a clear, still pool at the centre.

With no time to question it, you dive into the water, a feeling of weightlessness overtaking you as the frustrated screeches of the birds fades away. You keep sinking, the world slipping away until only you remain, your lungs screaming for breath.

You struggle, trying to swim for some unseen surface, but the weight of your equipment, and your own inexperience in the water, pulls you further into the inky ocean. You feel two small hands against your cheeks, feel Vaki's slim body pressed against yours, the fey's dark, clear eyes staring into yours as she drags you deeper.

(cont)

>>40390749
Then you surface, coughing and gasping for air. You look around, getting your bearings, some sort of cavern. Vaki emerges from the water next to you, giving you a toothy grin.

“See, Vaki told Ur she'd get him out,” the fey chirps, as you pull yourself from the edge of the pool, which looking back goes down a few feet at most.

“Where are we now, Vaki?”

“Near where Ur and Vaki first met, we have to go that way,” the fey grins, pointing to a tunnel on the wall opposite you.

You pick yourself up, shaking off the water and emptying out your boots. There's a feeling about this place, a feeling of weight and solidity, or perhaps it's more accurate to say that the strange world Vaki took you to lacked that sensation, like it could all crumble away in a second.

Running a hand through your waterlogged hair, you shoulder your axe, following the fey as she skulks off down the tunnel. You soon hear a familiar sound of running water, you must be close to some part of the river at least, and Vaki stops as she reaches an opening into a wider cavern. Looking down you can see the river below, you having apparently come out on some high ledge, a narrow path leading along the side of the wall and down towards the river and the cavern floor far below. You squint down, making out shapes in the darkness.

“Vaki, what's down there?”

“Short people, came here looking for things, very rude to Vaki some of them were. Not these ones though, Vaki hasn't talked to these ones.”

“How many?”

“Many.”

“Are we going to have to get through them to get back to the camp?”

“Near them, yes, not through.”

its just dwarves man, we can go raid their camp later as a warning and for slaves.
Since if dwarves are here, that means more are gonna come.

>>40390846
bigger question would be, how'd they get here?

I'm thinking that wall cutting off the wastes won't be that big of a problem...

>>40390871
You do know that the water network was made by the dwarves, they probably go here through tunnels and boats.
Hell i think our map has old outpost locations on it.

>>40390871
>how'd they get here
Tunnels, anon, they have been living in the wastes for hundreds of years, below ground.

>>40390909
That's my point, those tunnels would surely lead beyond the wall right? R-right?!

No burning then.

>>40391190

>>40391383
fucking A, the one time it's right to be paranoid, people vote not to burn

>>40391352
200 orcs trapped in a wasteland behind a wall, orcs are probably also viewed as barbarians by more "civiliced" races

>>40391405
I just vote against burning if it's not direct life or death tbh

>>40391425
200 orcs trapped in the wasteland behind the walls with access to Dwarven tunnels.
Suddenly a lot more important, huh?

Don't tell me people think these dwarves come from beyond the wall, holy shit it's so obvious they come from our side of the wall.

>>40391456
200 are not enough to be viewed as a real threat to anyithing but outposts like the one the dwarfs didnt care enough to send help to when it was overun by the kulawhatever

>>40391190
yes

You pick your way down the narrow ledge closer to the dwarf camp, staying low and quiet. As you come closer, you start to be able to make out numbers, perhaps forty or fifty dwarves you can see, dressed in an assortment of bright clothing and leather armor, most carrying some sort of weapon, mostly picks and short blades. The camp looks temporary, tents set up on a raised area of the cavern, some large heavyset pig-like creatures sat in the centre, probably pack animals.

Everything seems to be going well until you reach the bottom of the ledge, until slipping round a rock you come face to face with a dwarf staring back at you, open-mouthed, holding a pile of green powder in one hand. He's a short distance away, but slow to react, you might have time to put him down, but you can't be sure.

You run out of cover, swinging for the dwarf, who gives an “Oh shit” as he ducks under your blow with a dodge that seems more luck than design, scattering green powder everywhere as he turns to run, no doubt seconds away from raising the alarm.

At least until he trips over his own feet, slamming face first into the cavern floor.

...did he just knock himself out?

Well okay then.

add liberal amounts of booze to him.

>>40391843

Hey guys an orc tried to pinch me!
Yeah whatever Ulrist

If we abduct him, we should throw him to the Kulakin so they'll take care of him.

I hope the green powder is some hallucinogen so there'll be no way they'd believe someone covered in the stuff and on the floor.

>>40391964
even if he was totally sober no one would believe that a orc did not kill him or kidnap him

>>40391929
Again, Vaki gave them a little trouble too.
not farfetched to think he was spirited away, and we can dominate him to learn about their expedition

>>40392027
Sprinkle some of that green shit on him.

>>40392118
Because Ur is cultured

>>40392130
He did that himself already.
And now, better to leave it looking totally natural.

You turn to Vaki, who cocks her head and shrugs.

You suppose you may as well go, no sense taking this dwarf with you, and you don't want to put the rest of the camp on alert by abducting one of their number.

You sneak along the edge of the cavern, following the river as it winds through a series of tunnels and caves, at times walking alongside, at times wading until the water is almost at your chin. Eventually you step out into a far more familiar looking cavern, Vaki giving a noise of glee as she bounds over to the bank of the river.

“Look Ur, look, it's where Ur and Vaki first mated.”

You look over your shoulder to the perfectly smooth tunnel leading up to the Stonetusk Camp to the left. You finally made it. You turn back to Vaki, the fey looking up at you wide-eyed.

“Is Ur going back?”
