rejoice, your elements start at full strength, AND you can keep all mag you acrued and didn't spend last time.

Additionally, what I failed to mention is that:

>You can sell an element for a third of its point price on army buy.

I'll be starting once two players are here by the way

>>1307740
Well thats great then. But mind if I ask whats the difference between the raise dead spell instead of just life force instead?

>>1307742
the raise dead spell raises the dead and that's it. It's dangerous in the sense that sometimes the dead might not particularely like you, but it relyably and according to the magic spent raises dead to be undead.

The steal life is more versitile - once you've stolen it you can use it *however* you want, you can try and heal others, fucking make a rock alive if you want to, you don't have to try and give it to dead people. And if you choose to do that, it might very well depend on the kind of corpses what happens when you do so.

Sounds alright, I suppose I'll take that for 3xp since it'll be a bit more efficent. Then use my last exp to increase my strategy to 4.

I'm also buying an element of archer skeletons and a element of melee skeles to add to the bone train. Leaving my army points at 3.

>>1307751
you'd need to spend 4 XP to get your strategy to 4. it's 2 XP for 2, 3 XP for 3 etc.

>>1307704

Good to see you again, chief.

Fished out my end stats from last time. I'd like to spend 2XP on getting a better weapon. Is there a list to choose from? I'd like something big and blunt, preferably.

From my 14 army points, I'll buy another unit of goblins, and two units of ranged goblins.

The pale faced man leads you further and further east until you reach the far side of the human territories - Grimershall, the drab, swampy hills that lead up to the Longfare mountains.

The closer you come to Grimershall crater, the more animated the man becomes and the more he calls for haste.

As you come close to Grimershall itself, you come across a skeleton of a huge creature, the size of a hundred men - it seems to have been burnt to a crisp by some magical force not too long ago, smoke still coming off its bones.

"The work of wizards from Grimershall college no doubt." the acolyte says dismissively.

"They never did have much regard for the delightful beasts that line the crater."

I believe I could do something that'll help nullify their defense, however it would require you ordering your shaman to give me his current magic reserve. That large beasts skeleton if raised would make a remarkable battering ram. That is, if you agree with my idea.

cautiously, the army, which is already a gigantic host, fans out and surveys the countryside. murky, sick grass covers the hills this side and the other of Anston. the walls of Grimershall come into view proper now, and an archer shouts out into the city.

Your guide seems to be growing restless:

"Let us leave the city, there will be enough time to take it yet! You wanted to find the dark church, I can show you! let us follow the road, there is another bridge further east! Greater things await!"

From the west, another two elements join the battle. Their number is drowned out by the rattling of bones and babbling of goblins, but their stature stands tall over everybody.

Dark and ominous enter... the dread knights.

As Grimershall is flooded with goblins, another literal legion of them arriving with the host, a thousand cackling green creatures, the forces of evil circle the city.

Drussith, now donning a great cleaver begins working on lances from beast (?) bone. The bone is extraordinary in many respects. First, it seems to have been left completely untouched by the magic that must have singed away the flesh of the creature. Secondly, its structure seems less organized than normal bone - it doesn't seem grown as much as festered upon itself.
And lastly, working it makes Drussith's head drowsy.

But work he does, as his dread knights dismount, break off bits of bone and bring it to him. (next turn you'll have your spoils, but making lances for a whole element takes a while.)

Meanwhile Meatonstick's goblins attempt a ford. there is the possibility to get safely (albeit slowwly) across over a one hex broad ford. You can also try to just brave the river with all at once and risk losing some of them.

the part of the army that's moving east, lead by the acolyte, encounter what seems to be the farmsteads of Grimershall. The innocent stink of fear.

Life Force:

Formerly a Wizard who secluded himself away from civilization so he can pursue magical power without others trying to stop him. He gave himself the gift of unlife so he wouldn't need to worry about the needs of the flesh and when the evil overlord offered him a position in his army he jumped at the chance.

>Vice
He had a unusual obsession with magical items and will often do all he can to aquire them, many times putting others at risk.

>Attitude
He cares not for what he does here, so long as he feels he can continue growing himself in power working under the overlord he will continue to do so.

I think we have a bit too many gobbos, how are we even feeding all of them? do we feed our gobbos?

>>1310007

With other gobbos.

>>1310007
goblins like all kinds of flesh.

pink flesh's best though

>>1310007

To be fair if OP has implimented his increased rates of death he was talking about last time we might have considerably less gobbos once the fighting starts.

>>1310043
gobbos should get a malus right now they are more cost effective than orks, gobbo op pls nerf

>>1310046

Are they though? My observations in Iverding suggested smaller numbers of elite units performed better than hordes of weak ones.

>>1309800
OP, would it be too late to join? I'd like to try an acolyte but I need to know if you're recruiting first...

>>1310046
I don't know how you got to that conclusion, but I can assure you, that's not the case.

>>1310053
This depends on ratios (also situations but that's a given)

>>1310061
Sure, one more cant hurt


I'll be processing in two hours or so, once I'm home

>>1310072
Got it. Just a question though, how will I choose my god, at the beginning or during the campaign?
Also, is it limited to gods or does it also include demons and things like that?

In the meantime, I'll go back over the previous threads to see how it happened.

>>1310083
you can dedicate yourself to any god known to the army.

There is currently no god known to the army.

But something tells me you will meet one sooner rather than later.

Tl;Dr at the bottom:
As an acolyte, you'll have a different magic system - instead of magic, you've got prayers, which will be tied to the realm of your god.
And instead of having magic points to fill up, the number of praying acolytes (which you can convert or buy in future updates, once you know gods) are the requirement for level of prayer, with your divine favour deciding how much your God is into you, and can be increased and decreased through actions, affronts and asking for miracles.

Don't worry if that's overwhelming though, the gist of it is: Once you find a god to dedicate yourself to, you can ask him to do stuff that he would do and get more favour through pleasing him.

>>1310098
Does that mean I begin with 0/0 favour?
Also, I plan to make a human (which if I understand correctly can add two skill points to any category at the beginning) so could I upgrade my favour or should I use the points on skill for example?

BTW I intend my character to be genuinely insane so my actions may not be optimized.

>>1310072
>>1310053
It was mostly a joke after seeing their numbers

>>1310107
you start with your magic worth of favour, only that it's basically empty favour until you have a god to dedicate yourself to. and favour isn't a -/- stat, it's just a stat determining how far you can push it that will decrease and increase as a total number under certain circumstances.

you could upgrade your favour by upgrading your magic, yes. As a human, you can also choose one non combat skill to just be great at, that's what the two little yellow points represent.

>my actions may not be optimized.
you'll fit right in

>>1310113
What's the difference between the yellow points and the +2 on top?

>>1310119
Nah you wont die, maybe

>>1310124
If I die, I hope it won't be because I was smacked in the nose with a rock by a child...
Though given how I intend on playing, I'll probably kill myself because of lack of oversight.

>>1310119
told you, those yellow ones mean you can pick one non-combat skill to have a +2 in. Siege engineering for example, or climbing, or fortifying, or intimidation or...

the 2x red dot is just the possibility of putting two points wherevery ou want.

>>1310124
>>1310119
you'll die.

>>1310126
Okay, now I get it, I hadn't noticed the difference between non-combat skills and actual skills.
Would smithing work? Since I'm gonna make a character focused on fire, it would make sense that I wield it occasionally.

>>1310128
sure, smithing works, Drussith has it too though, so it might be a bit redundant.

>>1310126

While on the topic of humans, the red 2x have to be in the same skill or they can be divided between two stats? Same with the non-combat bonus, is it posible to have 2 non-combat skill on +1?

>>1310136
The red ones can be divided the yellow ones cant. But I think getting non combat skills for xp might be something i should look into.

>>1310141
Unless it counts as magic, I'm gonna add my +2 non-combat skill bonus to "diviniation".
Namely, interpreting the messages I get when I gaze into a fire to gain insights about the battlefield and omens about what's going to happen (which to be honest is less a product of magic and more of my character being insane).

If I can't, I'll take intimidation I guess.

>>1310141

Ok and the red point on the orcs Strat what exactly does it translated into?

As one goblin army begins fording the river with barely any losses to the stream, (-0 str damage) another moves up cautiously.

Drussith finishes fashioning lances out of the monstrous bones (they seem adequate enough, but they will show their true potential against their kind) while he sends his men ahead to intimidate the townsfolk who, ride as fast as they can to arrive at the village just as Azith begins looting the first houses. The houses seem to be emptied already, however, with only some grai left in the silo (+1 Army point)

The supplies seem to lie on carts now, drawn by oxen with a few hundred farmers that are desperately trying to flee from you. Some light cavalry is meeting them from the north, one of them is angrily waving a white flag as if trying to initiate parley.

Meanwhile, a seeker of gods joins the battlefield.

Ferniun's skeleton charge into the farmers, and clash into the further ahead part of the convoy before they can move, killing one of their loose units instantly and breaking the other. completely, slaughtering them to an inch from complete massacre. (-1 str to skeletons. If you're unfamiliar: you distribute damage, meaning you have to substract that 1 from only one unit right now) As undead you can choose wether to pursue or not.

Meanwhile, Azith's orcs and goblins clash into the farmers, and even though Azith himself is preoccupied eyeing the cavalry instead of leading his troops, they manage to get almost as good a result as the weaker skeletons, but leaving a small part of either element alive (-1 str). If you want to keepo your orcs from pursuing, roll skill.

Meanwhile, Drussith closes the distance between him and his knights that are looking on with concern as the men they were meant to intimdate are slaughtered.

Viktor runs up to catch up with the lot and Mazak's troops get into position at the field.

Meatonstick's troops move up and gather north of the river, while Drazza's goblins hasten towards the river.

Meatonstick's dead hounds seem to be confused by what they see - there, on a hillside, watching, motionless there is an element of cavalry. DEAD cavalry to be precise. Skeletons on skeleton horses sit there, the rags on their bodies blowing in the wind, the fire in their eyes the only sign of their animation.

The enemy riders, having had no intention to engage are horrified by the murder on display and turn around their horses as fast as they can.

“Forget dose gits, get da wagons!” Azith tries to get his orcs to focus on making sure they get their share of the loot on the wagons the people had instead of chasing some random peasants. They are all orcs though, and a good bit of human slaughtering is a traditional orcish activity...

Regardless of what the orcs end up doing, the goblin archers are led up by Nutz the shaman to do their share of looting of the wagons, the farm/house at the centre of where all the peasants were and the bodies of the fallen.

The melee goblins will be sent to loot and burn the mill to the east of their current position.

How swell, that certainly worked well. Alright then, I'm staying put with a element of skeletons so I can begin harvesting corpses from the 4 farmer elements.

My calvalry will also help finish the farmers by Azith, finally the archers will stay put ready to shoot at any threats that come.

While Drazza's goblins move towards the bridge and Viktor catches up more and more, the Orcs, held back from their bloodlust, begin looting the carts (+3 AP) while the ranged goblins try and find something in the building, bt it's empty.

Azith's goblins run towards the mill, but are beaten there by the cavalry - a stare off occurs, which the goblins decide to not let to come to blows.

Drussith's knights find in there some slaughtered cattle they couldn't take with them (+1 AP) Drussith himself desperately tries to keep some of his future subjects alive, but the ground is littered with the dead and the fatally wounded - some of which Fernium harvests for his rituals (+2 Mag for Fernium)

The latter's skeletons try and pursue the routed farmers, but don't catch up in time - they are held up by the cavalrymen who protect the bridge for the battered farmers to come through. (-5 str to the skeletons)

A unit of knights looks on stoically from across the river.

Mazak's skeletons form a tight formation around the acolyte who seems visibly pained by the holdup.

Meatonstick gets closer to the riders, the crater coming into view. He tries to communicate with the undead, being one of their kind, but the element seems to be fixated at some point in the south. They don't acknowledge Meatonstick, nor anything else for that matter.

Ostrich, maybe you should put a time-limit on the number of divination I can do, I feel like it might be too spammable unless you make each diviniation more cryptic.
Just divining each turn could turn out to be a bit too powerful.

Azith looks at the clusterfuck around the bridge. Although he'd like to get in on the action, that just looks like a mess now, and with the hordes still heading for the bridge it'll only get worse. From what he understands of their goal, it's to the north east, so for now that's where he'll go.

All forces run north east (direction 2) towards the swamps. Lets cover some ground.

Drazza's goblins descend upon the cavalry like a tidal wave (although only about half can find surface area for their attack) as the skeletons continue their assault.

The horsemen themselves attempt to disengage, but manage not during the bloodshed. Even so, as one element is about to break, it is kept in line by the captain. (-0 str for you guys)

As he expells his rallying cry, he comes into view of Fernium, who would have a free path towards the man to challenge him in combat.

Both Viktor and Mazakform an epic host around your guide, and as Mazak calls to go onward, the former complains:
"Were do you suggest we go? This bridge is filled with fighting bodies, and a hostile city is beyond the other! And we will not brave the swamp. It is off limits, cursed, a prison."

and towards Viktor:

"From there your voices no doubt come. A great g.. beast lies there in chains. For the better. Now clear the bridge and let us MOVE!"

Viktor, you feel anguish.

Meanwhile Meatonstick offers his assistance to the bony riders, who seem to not acknowledge him, until he uses the name of his god - "he who dwells bellow". The apperent leader of the element, a larger orc skeleton with flaming mouth and eyes, slowly turns his head to him and raises his arm, pointing south - not to the city, but slightly beside it, where the cultist now stands.

Meanwhile, armed men and orcs enter the battlefield.

Nice! Also something to consider for the future but shouldn't river crossing be easier for undead creatures? I know getting carry away by the current is still dangerous (and there should always be a risk) but without worrying about breathing there is no drowning.

>>1314594
I think the only threat for us fording is skeletons would be quite easy to get washed away in flowing rivers. Because you know, no flesh to weigh them down.

Mazak's troops make their way across the river, slowly, but without losses.

In an almost miraculous bittersweet victory, one of the cavalry elements actually manages to disengage with little more than bruises, as the other takes the brunt of the damage from a disorganized combined goblin and skeleton assault, (-1 str damage to both of you) getting wiped out completely.

All is well, the survivors think, and attempt to regroup at the knights, but as they look for their captain, all they see is a withered husk on his horse. the element falls in disarray and routes after already having disengaged (+1 minor life for Fernium)

Meanwhile Viktor begins burning crops gleefully.

The noxious fumes from the swamp fill Azith's nostrils - feels like home to the orc. Another gigantic corpse marks the beginning of the bog.

A different kind of large skeleton waits for Drussith, as he comes up to the black tower. He hails, and is greeted by a cloaked figure on its roof.

"Dread knights, eh?" it shouts down with amusement. "And still of the living flesh it seems. Sacrifices for him bellow, I assume?"

A cackling laugh.

"Now come no closer or I will have to activate my contingency. My libraries are mine alone and the secrets therein not for your eyes."

At the same time, Meatonstick tries to reason with the dead, falling on deaf ears for the most part.
But as he says "..proclaimed himself follower of the disturbed ones. D.." the skeleton head turns violently to face him, opens, flames running along its teeth and from nowhere the word:

nooo...

calls out.

There is movement within Grimershall, and unease in the ranks of the knights.

Ah finally those nuisances are gone. All thats left in their wake is a plethora of horse, goblin, and humans wounded and dead, perfect for my rituals. I'll hold my position for now with my skeletons dragging all the useable bodys to me for more magic power.

Ferniun dismembers some corpses for a +1 mag

Viktor and his ecclectic army, having experienced the elation of fire move further down and begin burning fields and houses.

Mazak's troops cross the river, and are met by a confused army of armoured men that had RUN out of the city to the aid of their brethren and now met the element of skeleton archers, hacking into them. (5 formation damage to that element in particular)

Drazza's goblins move forward, engaging in a meelee with the knights with the help of the rest of Mazzak's troops, but getting beaten back savagely by the knights (-6 st damage).

This alone would be no problem for them, as that means scarcely 2 damage among each of those engaged, but a fire wall set up by the wizard in advance runs right through their number (roll 2d6 for every element in there)

Azith meanwhile enters the swamp, a ruined large black building in his sight. In the bog, there seem to be gigantic monsters lmbering around, fleshy abominations, their meat shifting aroudn their bodies.

Bjorst meanwhile moves up, expecting more of his horses.
