Ah! Beoras truly he is the mightiest of them all and he is quite the honorable one. what? you want to succeed him, I guess every little god has dreams.

You do some short strecthes, before you start to walk east, akwardly at first, but after a little while you've got the hang of it.

It takes some time to before you can see anything other than the smoke, later stil you can see what looks like a few tents with one being fancier than the others, and five of what you figure to be camels, there are three humans that appear to be saddling up the camels

They haven't seen you yet, they're at your mercy.

The idea here is to join whatever defense force the tribe has, demonstrate our divine combat skill against any attackers, then once we establish superiority without harming our future followers, we can become a matron (demi)godess of the tribe.

I mean, we ARE a scorpion goddess of war. If we're not meant to rule by the power of fear, who is?

>>46226634
We aren't very strong yet, intimidating everyone in the immediate vicinity is the most efficient way to get us killed.

"I will defend your scouts. But first, what is Erephet? you ask. "Ha ha truly you are new! he is the god of the sandstorms and bandits, if we fail to pay tribute we could be ambushed. But thank you for you assistance," he says "This is Parh he will help you with the camels." he points out one of the men who had spears out earlier. "Thank you lord Esos," the man says and turns towards you "you can ride with Rohlef he's usually the nicest of the bunch."

After having had explained ride one of the camels he then lets you try, its a bit tricky but you're dexterous enough to do it well. you get over to the obelsik pretty quickly. after you and the two other scouts have gotten of their camels, you start to walk towards the large sandstone pillar. When suddenly a booming voice yells: I am Erephet lord of the desert wind, do you bring a tribute?" to wich Parh answers: "Yes, we bring a tribute of desert wine, to sate your thirst." The voice then asks: "How much of this wine do you bring?" "five skins of Lord Esos's own reserve." Parh says whileplacing down the waterskins. "THAT IS NOT ADEQUATE, YOU WILL BE PUNISHED FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!" the voice yells as hear battlecries coming from behind you. Parh and the other scouts are panicking

We are a goddess of combat not negotiating, so:

"TO ME MEN!" We beckon the others and reach for a spear. Set them in a defensive line facing the flanks while we attack the front line of the attackers head-on.

We will use our superior base might to kill enemies until a leader is evident, then we will surprise them with a poison tail jab which demoralizes the enemy and makes sure they don't have time to acclimate to fighting our transformation.

but you might want to use your claws

>>46226853
Not sure how well this would work with a grand total of three dudes, but some strategy is better than blindly charging

>>46227005
I plan to, the tail is the most immediately lethal though and we will switch from spear to claws + tail after we successfully complete the first plan.

>>46227027
It's the safest bet, I think. A goddess of war would be remiss to grovel before the followers of another god anyway. If we fail, we fail with dignity and the opportunity for redemption.

>>46227103
That's a good way of looking at it, though if we are too much of a pest Erephet might try to bumrush us in the Hall of Immortals. Not that I mind.

"TO ME MEN!" You beckon the others and reach for a spear, as you try to set your two scouts in a defensive line. After a few seconds they get the message and get into a small formation.

You charge towards the battlecries, coming from the now visible bandits.

Want to use these rolls for a claw-less attack, we have a spear and dramatic reveals are great for impressing people.

Writing

Rolled 2 (1d6)

You sweep your spear and manage to hit the neck of one of the bandits, after that you bring out your claws and bash another one over the head and strike a dramatic pose. most of the bandits are stunned by the reveal of your claws, but one attempts to get at you from behind, but you hit him in the belly with your tails brood and he falls over in pain.
You: Uninjured -0
they injured -1
A few of the bandits attempt to attack you.
their 1d6 against you're 3 might

But you manage dodge two of the saber swings and parry the last one.

>>46227687
simple stylistic request. Can our fighting style involve the spontaneous appearance and disappearance of our tail? It may not be important mechanically but it's reflective of our boost to knowledge to have a fighting style that cleverly avoids telegraphing some attacks.

people have twice as much health as their might. they get a -1 to all rolls for each missing health. everyone has a defence of their might times 4 the attacker then tries to roll over that and if they do they reduce their opponents health by one.
the system isn't currently done, i feel i need to add that here aswell


you hit another one of the bandits in the side, launching him into a second one. the scouts skewer one of them and you decapitate a fourth.

The rest of the bandits start to panic and attempt to run away, except for one standing in the back. He yells a Mighty battlecry and charges at you.

You manage to dodge his ferocious swing and avoid any damage, though this is no ordinary mortal.
