Wins of bets:
> Yahaax Ranching Limited
The Mesian swimmer truly comes out of nowwhere somehow ramming his way to 3rd place earning you a solid 60g. Sadly the Dwarven jouster took 6th place, but he is determined to do better in 10 years on the next Olympics. CoC was an obvious choice for the Ullamaliztli so you only earn 20g from their victory. They lost to the Calderian Kingdom in the final match thanks to their ingenious utilization of Roachidian players and their ability to fly.
(80g won)

> KamaCal
Sadly West Calderia didn't make it in Shelak, it's the game of the Noble Calderians, much more Popular in the Empire than in the Kingdom. The Kingdom only took 7th place.
The surprise, surprise a start has risen among the Cyclops. A Seer in training while not having unlocked their Eye power have turned out to be a true She'lak savant often playing She'lak all day, able to defeat 3 opponents at once. Erebuś a rising star is rising in the world of She'lak. (you get 80g)
Betting on Polemistis is always safe (you get 20g)

> RWWE
With Floe betting on herself 4 times (both for 1 and 2nd place in both competitions)... she still somehow makes a win. Being a complete Dark Horse yet taking 2nd place in boxing you get 160g.

>>4196768
> FLOE'S WRESTLING COMPETITION
Wrestling was not kind for Floe, the poor fey took a beating having a large shoggoth of the Starless lands be one of her first opponents. The thing was terrifying and disqualified her pretty early on. She later saw it fight Polimestis and even she had trouble with it. The audience for some reason seems to love whenever the Shoggoth fights a woman... weirdos.

> FLOE'S BOXING COMPETITION
An up-comer, fey got 2nd place? A truly incredible performance. How did it come to this?

Floe got to the semi-finals pretty swimmingly due to a very useful tactic which is: "turn the floor to ice to make it slippery.". This combined with her raw offensive power, speed and evasiveness landed her in the semi-finals to face Chieftain Akhur a large Ork War-boss from Orkkhuz. It was a hard battle, with Floe's speed and agility being paired against the ridiculous raw power of the Orc. It's fair to say she won on stamina and determination.

Floe's biggest challenge lied in the High Priest of Flame of the Uwuin'taipan Theocracy. This 6 meter beast has already managed to defeat Polemistis in the Semi finals. The High Priest was known for his seamless use of magic and unpredictability on the battlefield in spite of basically using 1 spell all the time.

The battle started with the high priest catapulting himself towards Floe and her guarding with an ice shield which was immediately shattered sending her flying. Floe created a looping ice slide behind her to catch herself and use all that force from the punch to send her flying towards her opponent, but in sted of hitting him she made the floor into slippery ice a tactic which worked well so many times and pushed the giant insectoid making him fall to the ground. Then she flew up ready to drop down from the skies on him while he was down, bu things wouldn't be so easy with the High Priest. While on his back he used explosion magic to launch himself up destroying the slippery ice in the process. Him and Floe were now engaged in a battle in the skies. The speed he was flying at was nothing unusual, but the way he could turn in the air was something one couldn't do with wings. Floe would use what she had learned plummeting frozen fist after frozen fist between the Chitin plated of the High Priest, but she got cocky trying to get in every hit she could instead of only going for the safer ones and that spelled her doom. While she punched him in between his stomach plated he bent forward trapping her arm and launched an attach double enforced with explosion magic to her face ripping off her hand and wrist, knocking her out and securing his victory. Still Floe holding her own against him was extremely impressive.

>>4196768
> ELIZABETH'S CONTESTS
During the Spellweaving contest Elizabeth came thinking that she by no means should show all she can to not scare the onlookers, but observing the performances of others she realized that maybe... just maybe she can let herself go a bit this time. And so it came her time to shine, just on raw power alone she baffled the judges and the beautiful dance of colors she caused amazed the audience. With her emotions directly flowing into their minds. Elizabeth's display was truly beautiful, only loosing points for using only 1 type of magic.

She only lost to Gray Nashet representing the Sun elves who created a stunning display of the cycle of life of an amphibian. First using Sun Elf water magic to create a floating pond in the sky, then using Eldritch and Autumn fey magic to create life in the pond itself. We follow the story of a small golden tadpole which grows up into an orange frog and eventually dies with it's corpse falling apart to reveal more eggs containing Golden tadpoles. This mix of storytelling, multiple types of magic and raw power moved the judges, crowning him the winner.

----------------------------
In She'lak Elizabeth had an easy time mopping the floor with any contestant daring to oppose her... after each of her quick victories she'd glance with cockiness and slight flirtatiousness at the King of the Starless Lands, who very much so looked salty he didn't join the competition himself. Elizabeth a woman presiding over millions of minds could easily predict other's movements if even trough raw power going trough every possible move in her head.

That is until she met her last opponent a Cyclops savant who... seemingly knew every single one of her moves. He seemed to be advancing quicker than she and after 20 long hours he finally won. With his eye glowing a feint blue... he unlocked his Eye Power.

>>4196844
The New type of Seer will be known as "Tempo Seer" as they can see for small amounts of time into the future.

After the competition, Floe had been surprisingly silent. And anyone who congratulated her on getting second place swiftly got told to not mention it again. Clearly Floe wasn't taking the fact she didn't get first place well. In fact, according to Chasma Floe practically spent a decent amount of her time just staring at the medal she got...Still, despite what is clearly a massive morale hit to her, she still managed to do what she needed to keep everything running smoothly, but its clear that she likely was going to do something to try and 'redeem' herself and regain her pride...Or maybe become a bit more humble after this...Time will tell for sure. On the bright side, for Floe anyway, Sibercanette was growing nicely. It even had a number of Chaun blacksmiths working away now...

>Action One. Get payed for guarding the Olympics, (and maybe look for a new job)

>Action Two. Get Chaun Blacksmiths for Sibercanette.

>>4198024
The new feature is very welcome among the Narscians and while annoying to the religious users of the service all they can really say about the new tool is: "Fair enough."

Mirai Express is a success in all countries it's implemented in. Be it the Uwuin'taipan theocracy, Southern Dorn of the Mesian Kingdom. You do face a serious delivery shortage now though, more so than ever.

> EVENT
Voices from the other side: It seems that a hack into Arcanet has occurred... from Tythia... That Tythia? The isolationist, Druidic state stuck in the middle ages? More-so the readings show the signal is coming from a part of the country that isn't even inhabited and is covered in. Arcanet itself seems to be "responding" to the hacker. Signals akin to binary are coming from the isolationist nation with Arcanet responding with similar binary in kind. What the cooks hat is going on? Your Mages propose sending Adventurers into Tythia to investigate. (negociate with the Tythians with the help of the Sun Elves.)

The Castle is progressing greatly now even including in-house blacksmiths, which reduces upkeep and cost of rearming units after losses.

Floe is paid what she won in debts and for guarding the Olympics and returns to Sibercanette. Sadly no new jobs are aviable which is somewhat of a bummer for her.

> EVENT
After all the events Floe chose to take a long frosty bath to chill a bit. As she got up and wrapped herself in a towel she entered her room... except it wan't her room. It was bustling bar full of people drinking and celebrating and by the time she turned around the door she came in with was gone. As the confusing Fey looks around she sees people from every nation in the world until she notices the barkeep waving at her.

He has a job for her... a simple one. His nephew.. you know the one who won the Spellweaving contest is planning on single-handedly taking on the spire and conquering it. A great idea, but as an uncle the man is a bit worried. Floe and her mercenary group would be hired to clean up after the boy goes trough and make sure he does not get encircled... and maybe help him escape alive if things go south. (he does recomend Floe increases the size of the mercenary group forth though)

Diplo - CoC religious authorities
Recently Yahaax Ranching Limited has gained a large amount of wealth, mainly from our business of amigichuum ranching and from the selling of amigichuums meat.
This has prompted us to decide that it is in our interest to diversify into the field of biomantics by constructing a biomantic facility in the Colonial Commonwealth where we are based in.
Thus we desire the permission of the religious authorities of our mighty civilization to be able to found and run this facility. As holy approval is extremely important to the sanctity and righteousness of our facility as we will be using the spirit power of the new circuit to power our magic, as is done with all Mesian magic.

A new Ranch is opened quickly gaining popularity, though not for the reasons one may expect. Gorgons seem to be flocking to the new building for inspiration to pain paintings or to admire the Amigichuums themselves. The constant flow of visitors and onlookers makes it a bit hard to work, but is by all means very good publicity.

The Jouster is put onto a good payroll for training and all the people you mentioned are happy about the received gifts. Especially the Dornish mercenaries. They feel like a storm is brewing.

Diplo: The Priests from CoC initially hesitant disappear for a while and then return approving your request. It seems they went to talk to someone. You are handed a small note which when unfolded says "I do not remember ever making a variant with fur on it.". Your permit has been approved.

The Calderians enjoy the ERS perfumes, especially as a lot of them seem to have a let's say... familiar smell. The product is spreading like wildfire among nobles... but what's that. It also is among the lower classes? It seems that in recent years Calderian lower classes have become wealthy enough to indulge in extravagances once reserves to nobles skyrocketing the purchases of most your products. In fact you have a supply problem!

The Dwarves don't like it. They don't like things that fly and they don't like anything that can just jump their defenses. The project does really not catch on at all.

Cyclopean trains really have made it into Dwarven lands! What a surprising twist. The Dwarves are already starting to use them for easy transport of stone and other mined goods, in fact they wish for the development of smaller variants of "trains" to be used in mines to quickly bring resources up to the surface. (Dwarves wish to commission mine-carts).

Diplo: The Seers would explain that, the young boy was the first Tempo Seer to awaken and his ability for now extends into minutes at best.

To say Floe was in a bad mood would be an understatement, but seeing how she was dragged someplace like this out of the blue right after having a bit of time to relax and without even being properly dressed for the occasion...To say she wasn't too happy was an understatement. Luckily, she'd not need long for her to see what this was about and that it was important. She'd take it, and would specifically request that the next time they do this to have it be a bit more planned and thought out than this...Still, with the job taken, she'd now have other things to worry about, that being getting more to her banner given the nature of the job. She'd need quite a few fey at the least considering someone's going on a blind rampage to the spire...She doubted that he'd be able to pull such a feat off entirely by himself. Then again, thats why she was there. Still, it would be an important thing to ask if he knows about the plan of hiring her, and if not, him spotting her forces would be an issue. After all, him charging at her forces and fighting them would be... counter productive to say the least.

>Action One and Two. Hire a bunch of fey. Should be easy enough to equip them soon.

With a good deal of fey recruited for the largest job she had ever gotten, she'd be sure to get the orders of equipment to actually ready them for war. Be they thinspikes, razor blades/swords, or the more unique equipment for the few Noble fey in her ranks. Despite this however, she'd order a lot more extra equipment, and not just many spare thinspikes as would be considered normal. She wasn't finished recruiting just yet. She wanted her company to be equivalent to the Firebrand warriors in numbers and quality. At least equivalent to what the Firebrand warriors had when she left them anyway...Regardless, her forces were likely going to be the size of a proper division at this stage at least, or the size of a proper corps at best. It'd also help her in the future and allow her to take many smaller jobs when not dealing with a large job like what she was preparing for.

More Fey join the RWWE, with another round of recruitment fey is starting to scrap the the bottom of the barrel. 2 new Units are added mostly comprised of fey who do not have much or any battlefield experience... but in all honesty who cares? Fey do not die, they can let themselves learn from their own failures even on the battlefield. Your company is now equal to a battalion and the size the Firebrand Warriors were when Floe left... though overall troop quality is still let's say not on Paar.

The Tempo Seer reads the book, not understanding it at first, but then something clicks. He had been using his ability as a trial and error tester looking into the future to see a certain constellation of She'lak pieces and if he judged himself to be loosing he would alter it and continuously check... but logic dictates there is a reason those pieces got there. Now he uses his new obtained logic powers to think about how the pieces all got from where he is now into the loosing position he's in his vision, meaning he can use his predictions in a much more calculated manner having to activate his power less time to reach an equally efficient outcome.

The New business within Dwarven lands takes off letting the Crazy short men do what they love most even better: mine. No annoying carrying of rock up and down just mining and singing. Dwarven Mining songs fill the land without a break for days.

> EVENT:
West Calderia wishes for the construction of 3 more train lines (150g) and possibly a 4th one connecting them with the Dwarven railways system (+100g)

> Diplo:
Calderia is not the most mathematical of countries, but scouring local libraries you find the "Gambler's Handbook" which in all frankness is 3000 page book on probability written by a man who during his lifetime became the richest man in the nation trough gambling. It contains everything one would need to know about probabilities, reading people and even... cheating one could think off all written in a way someone who barely knows math could understand.
(due to the book being so long, it'll take a while to translate and read you will get the result of this diplo next turn)

Action 1:
Research those magic inhibiting monkeys in the biolabs, perhaps once we understand how they work we can properly use their material for the creation of new creatures.
Action 2:
Compile the literature on the old alchemy and begin researching it in the biolabs, perhaps some of these chemical and chemo-magical processes could be utilized in future creatures

>>4202802
The monkeys seem rather simple in fact their antimagic abilities are oddly enough non-magical. It's just that the sound they produce interferes with magic, multiple monkeys are required to perform this because the sound only truly works if it resonates and reverberates. So either if there is strong echo or in a Choir. Your scientists warn you to be careful about working on the Choir monkeys as they are very inteligent and could easily take a step into sapience sentience. One interesting idea they have is trying to make them produce and opposite sound to the one they produce... a sound which EMPOWERS magic. If that were possible they'd be a hit among all mages and in all magic based industries.

The old alchemy bugs speculate on a process where the Mesian Hill Toad and Calderian giant Swamp Toad (you can give 'em mesian names) produce skin excretions which when combined produce a very nice tasting and smelling spice. They wonder if hybridinsing the species and some biomancy could make the toads produce the spice directly.

With all this work done, Floe had but one thing to do, and that was prepare for the fight to come. She already had all the fey she was going to be able to get, now all that mattered was getting them at least a bit up to speed on some of the more basic things. They'd not get exhaustive training, but being sure they could follow orders and actually properly do what they are supposed to no matter how poorly of a job they do was all Floe really needed. They could get better in battle of course, but it was best to be sure they wouldn't impede her other soldiers with their incompetence. Hopefully they'd not get tired from such minor training, but honestly, even if they do it'd not be too bad.

>Action One. Light training for the fey who don't have any combat experience.

>Action Two. Gather all the equipment, food, and other supplies the RWWE have. Its time to go on their biggest job yet.

>>4204491
Some light training is done allowing the new recruits to gain some experience before the big day.

The Fey travel calmly until they arrive at the foot of the spire. The City surrounding the ominous pitch black structure looks as if a tornado went trough it and the gates to enter the Spire have been blown. Your jobs has already begun so ready for battle.

You see the troops from the first layer slowly gathering to storm the stairs leading up, but you also see that the forces of the city are mobilizing to reinforce the Spire. Gray seems so be rushing trough like a tornado now how will you make sure he is not encircles or his momentum is not stopped?

>>4204622

One of the key things to allow Gray to keep up momentum and to limit the ability of the enemy to surround or surprise him would be to prevent the forces of the city from mobilizing and reinforcing the spire itself. Naturally, focusing on the forces closest to getting to the spire in the first place. Floe would be sure to block passage ways and roads through the city and create choke points utilizing her magic to better allow her forces to actually deal with those on the outside, meanwhile a smaller force would enter the spire to make sure the first layer survivors weren't able to advance, and after dealing with them making sure things on the inside were going fine, and to raise the alarm for the rest of Floe's forces should there be another large force inside with a chance of surrounding, overwhelming, or otherwise stopping Gray's assault. However, focus would be on destroying any forces on the outside and in the city before going into the spire, though her own forces would be positioned close enough to the spire that, should needs must, they could get a majority of her forces inside and ready to react or otherwise help Gray. Once forces on the outside were dealt with, they could focus on the spire, if there was anything left after that. That was the initial plan anyway, but no plan ever survives contact with the enemy, now does it?

"Your Majesty,
You have seen how much changes and wealth our company brough to the Kingdom of Calderia. We are trying to do the same with the Dwarven Kingdom. We believe trading with them will make both nations stronger.
We are, however, impeded in this long work. It cost us to admit it, but Dwarven negociators are better than ours. Their capacity to maximise their interest is legendary. But shortsighed. As a result of these unconclusive negociations, our profit margin is very low, especially in trains and minecarts, where it would benefit the Dwarven Kingdom the most.
This is why, for the sake of both our countries, we are asking you, humbly to intervene. An higher profit margin would allow us to invest even more in the Dwarven Kingdom.

The new toad is easily created, surprisingly it is grower than both it's parents growing easily as big as a Dog. The secretions are successfully combined with the toad's back being covered in the spice which looks like orange-ish rocks. They need to be removed periodically or they start causing pain to the toad making it aggressive. The toad is generally a calm creature though rather stupid. It has a habit of eating birds which fly by though.

The Cyclop has gained a generally better understanding on how he can use his power. It's not just about thinking about the most logical course of action you and your enemy can take, but also about what action he will probably see as most logical based on his demeanor. People unlike raw numbers have personalities and goals, sometimes going for plays in anticipation of your play instead of the optimal route of probabilities. Still having gained so much insight the young Seer would see the one concept She'lak lacks... true randomness. Having realized that it makes him want to try some games of luck, to a play his new skills at. He starts picking up basic craftsmanship recreating games he saw in the book playing it with other Seers... they don't enjoy playing against him.

Diplo 2:

The lack of understanding what the Spire is bites Floe in the ass. Her soldiers find it laughably easy to be holding off the guard regiments within the City. Floe feels pretty good about herself thinking she could have easily done this job with 4 units, but not before the troops inside the spire start calling for help. They are being stormed by soldiers, entire armies, which while week posses numbers frankly too big to fit on one floor. By the time Floe arrives the 2 units sent in have been reduced to 1 and have tactically retreated with the soldiers of the first floor starting to swarm the stairway up. Only while inside floe realizes that this layer alone is so big she can't frankly see the walls from them idle implying it's bigger than the city surrounding the spire itself.

>>4205177

This in and of itself meant a major shift in plan. Her forces would rush into the spire and to get to the stairs, swiftly flying through with Razor Swordsfey. The thinspikers would obviously not get a luxury of picking off everything it flew past but this was fine, for now at least. Utilizing her magic and skill, Floe herself would force her way through the forces to get to the top of the stairs, and once a decent number of fey made it up there, she'd send scouts to try and follow the path Gray made once more, along with if there were forces on this level trying to get to him as well, for if that was the case, she'd have to move up to the next stairway just as swiftly, but hopefully she'd have good time to hold this chokepoint and make the enemy bleed rather than be forced to rush to the next point over and over again. Regardless, she'd certainly have to use her magic to its full effect and exert a lot more physically now than before. She could see why this job was going to be hard. Still, hopefully with her little charge the lesser forces won't expect her shock attack up the stairs, let alone deal with it effectively.

At the end of this at least, she was certain the utilization of a certain ritual would massively inflate her ranks...She'd practically have a private army then...

Floe having realized her mistake rushes in, following the footsteps of Gray. Without regard to whatever the hell each layer is she and her fey slice their way trough the soldiers of various factions making their way up the stairs. Suddenly the onslaught of lesser soldiers ends and what stands before her is 5 greats, blocking her army's way, behind them other soldiers rushing rushing towards what seems to be a castle in the distance. Floe could take 2 maybe 3 Greats herself, but 5 will require the help of her soldiers and in this case it'll be the the enemy who has quality on their side. Behind them the soldiers from the lower layers are also starting to flow in slowly surrounding the Cafoddwol Mercenaries.

Calderia is now a nation fully bathed in the industrial revolution. Not even Companous the home of the Train and ERS it's first widespread adopter can say to have their whole nation connected trough train lines.

The Mealworms are odd creatures and while when fed to lizards or amichiguums or even consumed by a person (one very drunk Dwarf) they don't seem to cause any symptoms... it's a different story with the Ta'achich Frogs and regular frogs for that matter. They seem to straight up become high as a kite. It does not seem to harm them, but the specimen which eat the worm become very docile, friendly and ready to play if they eat said work, but also turn very aggressive if no worm is given.

A great farm is constructed where the Ta'achich thrive. Scraping off the spice is something they seem to enjoy akin to how a cat enjoys petting.

The New Spice, does not take off in Dorn as the state is still in the middle of a war... but you have a feeling that after the war is over they'll buy anything you sell. Meanwhile in the Commonwealth it becomes and instant classic with the Dwarves already experimenting with alcohols made based on the spice or if it tastes better if in cheese. It's by all means a small fad. Restaurants and bars open all overt he country with logo's depicting a road with an orange back informing the consumer that sad establishment specializes in dishes or alcohol based off the spice. Not a huge hit among locals as eating the same spice over and over gets eventually boring, but tourists love it,

The Tythians trust the Sun Elves as such they don't mind, it's just made sure that they are the ones in charge. You hire the Warriors of the Old Warmth, a known band of Sun Elf mercenaries and you see off into the Tythian wilderness. It is easy traversing the jungle when led by a Druid, pale ones use their visions to lead the way. Finally you reach the ruins of an ancient city. It is not ancient as in built in ancient times, it looks as if it was already abandoned by then. Trees the druids judge to be up to 800 years old growing on top of buildings. The buildings look like squares carved out of stone with fancy patterns engraved on them. The structures in spite of their age they seem "retro". The city seems abandoned, but your readings show where the signal is coming from... it's the grandest building of all... yet it is somewhere outside the city much further out. Once you enter it it's pretty clearly some sort of catacombs with corpses matching the descriptions of the ancient stone men. One odd thing is a tiny wire stretching down the hallways connected to the forehead eye of every corpse. All of the wires seem to be meeting at one point further front framing the hallway. From time to time a small pulse of green energy goes of trough a random wire. All the wires connect to one of the stone Golem sitting in a meditative pose with it's eye lighting up and down every few seconds... the messages Arcanat is getting coincide with the glow.

Suddenly the Arcanet devices of all present Mirai Corp. employees receive calls they start automatically ending and stopping creating a symphony of sounds and voices spliced together from various calls. The message says: "He knows. you. there. out of energy. turn around. no more. but. he knows. wants help. waiting for you. wants help."

Astonishing, absolutely astonishing! Despite our initial assumptions of this having been home to some primitive civilization of the past, these stone beings seem to have possessed some capability similar to that of our arcanet system.

The Spice is introduced to all 4 countries. The people of Theocratic Dorn, find moderate interest in it it seems nice to add to a cake or another baked good, but that's it. It certainly finds it's niche. In ERS it becomes one of those new exotic things that came in and instantly takes off, your sales people would be presented with perfumes based on the Spice before they left the island itself. In CoC the product is accepted as a usual thing in local cuisine. Many older people hearing of it being invented trough biomancy reminiscent of the good ol' days when Petlin would produce a new creature seemingly every week. The Dwarves rush for the weird spice.

A small factory is acquired and the educational toys soon sweep trough the Princedom. A joke circulates among many people following that where they joke around that their 7-8 year old can use Arcanet, better than they do... or is it a joke? Anyway it spurs "Kitchen" to ask for more advanced study material on the Arcanet.

The Mana Conductors are certainly possible. Metals with high mana conductivity can easily be used to transport mana long distances. Gold would be the best metal for the job, but bronze can get it done too. Then you just attach the wires to a mill mincing Manacrop and voila it should work wonders.

> Diplo
Your scientists pour all their mana into the golem in front of them. While it's much mana for a human to extend so quickly it would usually barely be enough to charge up one golem to full, but instead it causes the whole room to grow in a bright green hue. The mana somehow was enough to basically awaken... all of them. The Darkness of the catacomb is illuminated by hundreds of thousands of glowing Golem eyes. The Golem previously sitting with cables attached to him rips the out triumphantly as he turns around to give Sasayaku a heartfelt hug. As that would be happening, all around them they would see the hundreds of thousands of golems stand up and climb down to meet them approaching from all sides. The one once having sat would slowly let go of Sasayaku and would instead grab hold of his Arcanet, using it to type out messages in Narsician to communicate with the fleshy beings.
"We've bee looking for help for millenia, trapped alone unable to recharge our mana batteries. Right now you managed to awaken all of us... you can keep us up can't you? We don't have to fear no more?" Sasayaku would look arround to see that some golems did not stand up having been destroyed by animals while in a dormant state, while others which did wake up still seem to have experienced a lot of damage just due to how much time has passed... the biggest question would be why those machines require so little mana to function compared to Narsician Golems especially as unlike Narsician Golems they seem to be sentient,

Utilizing her powers, she'd freeze the Archer and Berserker and focus on taking out the mages as quickly as possible, utilizing further magic to make sure the Paladin didn't intervene and to block the mages from supporting each other. Naturally she'd deal with the mages with more direct force so it'd be harder for them to counter her and while she did this her own forces try to keep the Paladin from freeing the Archer or Berserker. It was fairly obvious that they wouldn't be able to stop them from doing it, but they could slow them down and by Floe enough time to take out the mages and then go and focus on the remaining three. If the Paladin had freed the archer, they'd focus on the archer first, utilizing much more magic than with the mages, though still preferring direct force. Otherwise they'd go for the Paladin, who'd they'd use a balanced mix against and any other greats not targeted by her who were free she'd have her forces focus on. Once they were dealt with and the Berserker was all that was left, she'd utilize magic alone to deal with them, as it was their biggest weakness and without support from others like the mages, they'd be helpless. They could then once more carve a swath through the forces of these many many soldiers and go back to the task at hand. At least if a few managed to reach Gray, he'd probably be able to deal with them easily, as she expected to be done fast enough to not put him in any real danger.

>>4210262
Floe easily freezes the Archer and Berserker effortlessly dodging spells which are being clumsily flung at her. Ice spikes impale both, but one of the mages manages to hit Floe with a fire ball first blinding her and leaving her open for an attack by the Paladin, who effortlessly cut his path trough her fey. Luckily she manages to move in a way as to only get a shallow cut on her chest. The then gets impaled by the sword, just in time for the Archer and Berserker to break free. The duo has good synergy and brings floe some trouble mainly as the Berserker focuses on protecting the archer who can reach Floe with her attacks, luckily a Razorfey manages to cut off the Archer's head leaving the Berserker as helpless prey for Floe. Having defeated their leaders the remaining Calderians are easy prey for Floe's Fey, even if many were lost to the Paladin. As Floe takes a breather after this victory she feels a sudden pain, one worse than she ever felt in her life. Even worse than when that stray Cold Iron arrow hit her at Dwarvenmin. It's a jagged knife made out of Ki'ik Cold Iron stuck in her side and before she can turn around to fully appreciate it a fist solid like rock sends her flying... it's Four Horns. The crafty Northlundian captain stands in front of her once again wearing a Cold iron mask and equipped in Cold Iron tools and as he comes in so do the men who follow him, some still Northlundian most new Calderian subjects all now wearing masks out of cold iron. They wield long whips covered in Cold iron blades useful of dismembering fey as once the jagged blades rip trough their wings they are easy picking trapped immobile on the ground. Luckily their number is not great.

At the same time as this is happening Sounds of intense battle can be heard from the Castle, It is clearly Gray facing the current Dread Emperor and her forces.

>>4210796

While a bit hurt from the fireball, it wasn't that much. Especially given how she was still able to take the five of them down with only minor issue. Though she certainly had some minor issue with the Berserker and Archer, until Chasma cut the latter's head off. She'd be about to let out a shout of Triumph and continue moving on if it wasn't for the sudden pain she felt. After getting punched, she'd get herself level in the air and as swiftly as she could rip the cold iron out of her before it could sap more of her energy and life force. Seeing that the one who had done this was captain Karl Four horns would make her grin a bit. "I've been looking forward to seeing you again." She'd say before swiftly utilizing all magic at her disposal to remove him. She wasn't going to get close, and any and all fey who were able to, especially the few noble fey under her command, would also utilize their own magics to try and deal with the problem. For getting close to them was quite obviously not a wise idea. Her plan was simple however, she'd use her powers to blow a bunch of frost at their legs to form into ice and freeze them in place before using more frost to blind them like the snow of a blizzard or avalanche. Then, she and any other fey with enough magical power who was with her would use all their powers to blast into the cloud made by this. After their attacks had gone through, if there was any frost or dust in the way, she'd try and utilize magic to blow it away and make sure she didn't have a problem she thought she fixed remaining, and if they had escaped what should have been a fate, she'd instantly be on guard and keep to the sky's. She isn't going to let them get another strike like that...

The Spice is a huge hit in the Calderian Kingdom, people can afford to spluge on luxuries like spice right now. An odd dish they develop using the spice is actually a type of fish which you stuff with the spice.

The story within the Mesian Kigdom is the same as in CoC, a new product made with biomacy evokes nostalgia making it slowly spread until it finds a niche.

The Narsics mostly eat magic, and while they do occasionally eat food, it's not in amounts one could consider significant. The Spice is by all means used, but Narsics consume so little food, it just does not bring much profit in general.

A similar story in the fey nation. Fey only consume food for the taste, not needing to eat at all. The spice becomes popular when mixed with ice and honey as a snack to lick.

The New Shell Company is created the MMM quickly grow in prominence thanks to their frequent use of Magriv and Minecarts for mining. Their forges run how and while the Mythrill they produce is nothing special they seem to be able to make it cheaper than anyone else.

Margniv as one might expect becomes something that catches on quickly. While Calderia is known for anything, but mining, the few mines it has find great use in it. Who knows maybe they'll open more mines with Margriv aviable? The Current King of Calderia is known as an army reformer so he jumps at Margriv like a lion at a newborn calf. The West Clderian nation can finally work on developing their own guns. Guns being the tool that the 400 Dornish used to defeat Empress Lumina during the West Calderian war of Independence, are considered the ultimate equalizer between Great and normal Human.

As she rips out the knife she would feel it tearing at her flesh. The knife was made to smoothly go in, but have a hard time getting pulled out. Still it felt good to have it out even if it left a huge gaping wound, possibly with cold iron Splinters inside it. Fourhorns more than anyone knew how powerful floe can be... so he was relieved that she forgot his skill set... one he made even more devious than before. Floe would find that the person impaled in place of Karl was one of the noble fay who served her while she herself narrowly dodged a Ki'ik Cold Iron knife being thrown at her face. At that point many of her fey start panicking and while floe froze the masked men shut their whips make it hard to come closer or stand still long enough to cast powerful spells. In fact one of the whips nearly tear's into Floe's wing, but her quick reflexes save her once more. Then the Blizard rises blinding all those present and the Fey finally have enough time to cast proper spells to obliterate their opponents. One exceptions is Chasma who for some reason picked up one of the Cold Iron weapons her enemies used fascinated by it she hides it in her clothes. Floe on the other hand would still be vigilant as while the battle seems won she has no clue where Fourhorns is... that is until she feels another Cold Iron knife be stabbed right into her leg. The crafty Pirate can fly now? And how did he use Floe's own storm as cover? Still his loss is basically decided considering he's now fighting all alone.

She'd be glad to see that the greatest threat to her and her soldiers were dealt with, but not too happy to see that her little rival had managed to escape, until she got struck once more, despite her vigilance, with a dagger of pure iron. However, he made a mistake. He got close to Floe, and he made her desperate to finish him off, and angry that she had once again been struck from behind. Swiftly she'd utilize her magic to try and freeze the very blood in his veins as she used her blade to strike his arms, preferably severing them, and then going for the torso until he was finally left dying. Once she was sure of his demise she'd take the cold iron dagger out of herself and say "I'll give you some credit. You did more harm against me than even entire armies." Still on guard in case he somehow managed to use his powers to get behind her again. After, she'd have a few fey make sure he stayed dead and this wasn't a trick before going off back to the task at hand. Rallying the fey remaining and getting back into the fight should any continue to try to get to the castle to interrupt Gray during his duel with the dread emperor...empress? Now's not the time... Regardless, if there was more trying to go to the castle her forces would delay them, hopefully long enough for Gray to be victorious...

People better hear about the major assistance she gave and the story not become simply become gray did everything, Floe was also there... She didn't take two cold iron daggers just to have her efforts forgotten with only some gold and a few hundred more fey proof. Clearly she was in a bad mood, even if it was understandable for her to be in one.

Floe sees and invisible figure get covered in a thin layer of ice, revealing his position. The sneaky Pirate tried moving away as soon as he stabbed her. As she strikes his arm she sees the blade get stuck half way trough it as he lifts the illusion and flexes his muscles. He kicks Floe with all his might throwing her back and making her loose grip of her sword. Which he breaks and throws to the ground. Floe while pissed off, has her fey not interfere.

Floe would rip out the Iron dagger and release a massive Ice spell at her opponent which he manages to shatter with his axe. Floe is weakened from her wounds, but she releases ice attack after ice attack and he breaks it up using his axe each time and as he looks as if he was about to strike her the illusion fades and a bloodied half dead man laced with ice spikes collapses onto her.

>>4214341
>>4213761
> Forgot to mention Gray's Situation
As the unconscious Fourhorns falls on Floe she hears a loud explosion, only to turn around and see the castle they were marching towards have a giant whole blown into it and Gray being flung out. He flies a considerable distance until he lands on the ground barely picking himself up coughing up blood as what seems to be a woman standing on top of a crimson tornado in crimson robes looks down at him.

>>4214485

Quietly, Floe would be quick to gather what remained of her forces and try to get behind the crimson empress, flying up above and forming a blade of ice, then utilizing that altitude to dive down as fast as they could and stab the Empress from behind, their forces on standby to blast them with spells should they need too if the Empress survived, and charge in after. At this stage however, exhaustion was only being fought off with spite and will, and the pain only fueled that spite, and given the situation, a bit of desperation was setting in as well. At the very least her actions would be enough of a distraction to give Gray a chance to strike the crimson Empress from behind and finish them of Floe didn't. Regardless, it was clear all sides of this conflict were in tatters, at least in terms of their forces, the Crimson empress was likely in a much better situation than Gray or Floe... However, unbeknownst to Floe, a smaller fey, Chasma, had an idea, to strike at the Crimson Empress with the cold iron weapon they quietly took...

>>4214544
Floe gathers he remaining forces and rushes for the Dread Empress. Most of her force detaches to keep the remaining Calderian forces from reinforcing her while other's support Floe in her attack. She forms a giant blade out of ice with the little bit of strength she still has in her and the it... poof springs to pieces as the Dread Empress gleefully looks at her with a wry smile. It's the Chasma a humble noble fey who rushes the Dread Empress. She tries throwing a spell, but Chasma being a Cave Fey mutes her and all nearby sound, forcing the Sorceress into a melee fight and before she can react Chasma stabs her side, a cold iron blade enters her side. The Dread Empress casts a spell which does not require incantation throwing the poor noble Fey to the ground rendering her unconscious. She rips out the knife, but the damage was done. Grays eldritch tentacles now easily overwhelm the Flames of Autumn Harvest of the Empress. Floe lends her support toGray, but at this point it's not really needed. They won. Dread Empress Magenta has been defeated. Long live the new Dread Emperor. Dread Emperor Gray Nashet.

Floe and her band of mercenaries then would get the best medical treatment the Empire has to offer. Sadly 3 units of Floe soldiers were lost to Cold iron weapons... permanent death is not something a Fey should have to experience... Floe herself would look at her own body grappling with the fact that the wounds inflicted with cold iron to her will stay as scars. After the celebration to the Coronation of a new Dread Emperor Floe would leave the Spire and return home waiting for a well deserved rest. She'd open her reward and it's 1800 Gold putting her at 2134g in total, enough to make the City she always dreamt of. In addition there is 2 items included one for Chasma a minor magic item which removes one natural weakness of a creature for a weakness to water magic. Allowing her to safely wield the Cold Iron weapons she so loves. Another is an Armband for Floe a much more powerful magic item.

It's an armband which let's one change Ice type magic into glass type magic at will. Meaning Floe can have all her attacks be made out of glass not ice, making her weakness towards fire go away. She can also become a "glass canon" changing her body into brittle glass temporarily, but while in this state multiplying her magic power 10 fold.

Fourhourns is left unconscious with a message congratulating him for the great fight and for surviving... if he does.

>>4214771

With victory, much needed rest and recovery is granted, during which there is celebration. The scars she had gained from this little incident were nothing to be worried about to Floe, if anything they made her look better, and showed even Cold Iron couldn't stop her. Once the celebrations were over, and she returned home, it'd be time to rest. While at home she'd be swift to spend her money on officially making Sibercanette a city and solidifying her position. Additionally, she'd be sure to give Chasma the second best room in the castle, and would consider her a good right hand for the display she had done so far. If she kept up her skill and work long enough, Floe might even begrudgingly admit she was an equal. Though, most other fey would be driven away and weirded out by her eccentric like of Cold Iron. Though, it was a bit ironic her new weakness was water, considering the fact her leader used Ice, and the fact they were technically part of four horns crew in their past life...Regardless, the Rime wall Warriors would have some rebuilding to do. And some rest...

>Action One. Sibercanette shall become a fortress city, one that will be the first line against any future chaos invasions from the west.

>Action Two. Recovery is required. Simply letting everyone rest after the biggest, and most rewarding job the Rime Wall Warriors have had is enough.

Dwarven brewing methods become a niche hobby within Cyclopean lands, surprisingly becoming popular among mostly Seers. Many Monastaries open their own breweries.

KamaCal is now renting out storage facilities from MMM, strengthening the ties of the two companies. A local Dwarven upstart and an international giant working hand in hand.

With rights obtained you can now trade with the Golden Fort, the Pit, The Starless Lands, Eternia, Old Dorn and Orkkhuz. Many exotic goods exist in said countries and many goods we take for granted they see as exotic. Many stonks can be made.

Indeed the gleaming torquise Sea has never seen industrialization. After the Eldritch war the oceans have stayed plentiful, so much so that no one even ever thought industrializing it... that is before the Ranchers from YRL.

The new aquatic plants and livestock certainly work well, though as there currently is little demand who knows if they'll even sell?

Meanwhile good news from the east. North Dorn has won the war... or more so preemptively ended it. The People of North Dorn have beaten back the Imreldians and sighed peace treaty which does not disadvantage either side too much. Both sides of the conflict are worried about the war brewing in the North.

Most of the world already has Arcanet and uses it... as such social media takes the world by storm. Be it an Uwuin'taipan priest putting some pic's of his church online or a necromancer showing off some sort of coordinated dance moves his undead do or even just a Narsician teen towing off onarcanet all those things are slowly becoming a mainstay in society.

The advertising does little to make it poppular. In fact the adds are seen as "out of touch" and are considered not to good even among the hardcore fans of the robowars.

The Tythians are pretty clear: get them out of our fucking country. Basically you pay 200g to have the Golems/Mechaniods settle their city somewhere else.

That might be very useful though as from your conversations with them you learn that they have figured out a way for golems to run on very little magic energy for a very long time and seem to have a general very good grasp of both magic and technology.

After some rest, when Chasma came out to enjoy a little snack, Floe would be surprised to see the Noble fey she knew now a proper queen fairy...Floe much like the other fey would simply stare in surprise and a bit of shock. When mentioning it to Chasma, she only then realized she hadn't really told anyone and this had actually happened some time ago while in her room and apologize. Regardless, she certainly was worthy of the title second in command now, though with the news that the chaos swarm that once caused such issues to Cafoddwol had once more arrived, she'd be swift to contact the military to get a nice job in assisting with this little conflict. Yet, shortly after she arrived, she'd learn the new, well, news...Pyre had returned...And she was now an Empress Fey...Like Liri...

Floe needless to say did not take that well, and after the meting spent a decent amount of time 'training'...Many training dummies needed to be replaced that day...She couldn't believe Pyre once again surpassed her...Though, near the end of the day, something clicked...Maybe...Maybe she wasn't as good as she thought she was...She had done impressive things, yes, but, Pyre had defeated her in a sparing match, which is part of the reason why she went and set up the Rime Wall Warriors and Explorers...She didn't get first in the Olympics...And...Now here she was. In fact, at this rate, Chasma was possibly going to surpass her...She'd try to push these thoughts from her mind, but they'd nag her over the next few days, along with a feeling of inadequacy...

>Get more fey for the RWWE, should be much easier with her now much greater amount of influence.

Floe enters the office of the military leader:
"Ha...ha...haaa... I'm glad you came. We were about to call you anyway. We do know you and Pyre are like... let's say fire and ice... haha... did you get that? Anyway I think we need you two to form a melting pot for a bit... ok, I'll stop with the puns. Basically Cafoddwol not unlike the Hive and the Entomancers has a tiny little of a problem with the Chaos Swarm and we would like to contribute our share in the war and we think it would be the most optimal if you and Pyre worked together for that."

As she says that a knock can be heard and from the other side of the door Pyre's voice clearly answers "I do think that's a good idea."

1.
More tankers are produced.

2.
New war gas dispersal methods must be found, a cask of chitin dropped from high above, that glides and opens up to spread it's deadly gas across a more controlled area finds itself in the hands of those united against the chaos swarm.

The flying Shipyard is constructed with ships ready to sail the wind of magic ready to go. Your service being the first one not tied to a faith or state is appealing to many, with mercenary companies wishing to tag along with your shipments promising protection in exchange for transport. Once the Shipyard actually starts being used for trade it's bound to bring much wealth.

All the MMM stuff succeeds as planned.

My turn then:
Actions:
-Invest to amass all the resources needed in order to relocate the golems to the New World. Fearing that the princedom might exploit the golems if made aware of their existence, careful measures are taken to ensure that only the most loyal of employees are brought into the circle of the relocation effort. The fledgling colony will be dubbed Sakido, to represent the new start of the golems.
-Build a suitable research facility in Sakido. From here we will further study the Golems.
Diplo: Golems
Sasayaku informs the Golems of the Tythians feelings. Their isolationist nature sees the mas trespassers, and in order to maintain the peace a proposition is offered to the stone folk. "I might not know what once stood here, but time has taken its toll. Nothing's left, but Mirai Corp is willing to offer you a fresh start in new and exciting lands if you're willing. All we'd ask for in return is a beneficial co-existence and the opportunity to learn more about you. Such as your history. What are your people called and how did you come to be in this state?"

>>4216512
Action 1:
Construct an aquaranch on the southern coast of the colony (20g)
Action 2:
Introduce the fish product to the colony, and try to do the same in the uwuin nation, who will probably enjoy a good, tasty easy to preserve fish meat to supplement the diets of their slaves with. Be sure to advertise the health benefits that this cheap fish meat can give to their slaves and how they will not only preform better with it but also be generally more content with such a relatively tasty meal to eat at the end of the day and how the fish meat and other parts of the fish (liver, heart, etc) can be used to change the flavor of dishes made with their flesh and other foods as well (5g)

>The Golden Fort

You have the resources needed to relocate them, but you manage to secure some additional funds and building materials to help them build a new city relatively quickly.

Sakido is established and a research facility stands tall and proud in the city. Your study of the Golems reveals that unlike Narsician Golems who are a merger of clockwork and magic technology those golems are pure magic constructs. As well as what the secret to their low energy use is: sentience
Sentience can produce mana, it can never produce exactly as much mana as is needed to emulate sentience, but it greately reduces the amount of mana used. A batery powering Arcanet for 6 hours could power such a sophisticated Golem for years.

The Golems are sad to leave their home behind, but there is mostly bad feelings left in this place anyway. They are ancient ruins along with which they have been rotting away for millenia. You slowly learn the history of the golems who are known as Mechaniod. They have been servants of a human nation which was very technologically advanced, said nation fought against another human nation who followed the teachings of a sun God. When the followers of the Sun God were driven away all of their masters just disappeared only clothes left behind. SInce then for centuries the Mechaniod lived as their own civilization looking for ways to add mana to their depleting battery. They spent centuries searching as they were slowly shutting down one by one, they at most had another decade if you had not found them now.

The Aquaranch is constructed.

The fish does not take off much in the Commonwealth, Dwarves dislike fish and mesians seem neutral on them. Within Uwuin'taipan land the fish becomes a success as a food for slaves. Not being sour enough for Uwuin'taipan tastes.

Seer Ale has an interesting taste. It is weaker than Dwarven Ale, but similar in taste. It is created with clearly a lot of care. The high quality of the product, combined with being basically Dwarven Ale for non-dwarves makes it popular. The fact that it's kept in bottles as big as a person also makes it a neat novelty.

The Reorganisation succeeds letting you save a little bit of cash on each shipment.

> Diplo
The Golden Fort agrees as they have little reason to not do so.

You have exactly as much Gold as you should have had, but you think you also should have more.

Lots of drinking happens after works. Laughter and joy is shared and company cohesion grows.

> Diplo
"That's how it is with the cyclops. There is a saying about them. 'No matter how good you think you are at something or how proud you are off it, there is a cyclopean child somewhere who does it 10 times better than you ever will.' Luckily there is few of them and even fewer dedicate themselves to a specific task, so whatever they produce is bound to always stay a luxury good, so no worries mate. Dwarven Ale ain't dead. Not by a long shot."

The Skaven are graciously hired, and directed to the thrall of slaughter

1.
The process of hiring Narsian farmers being well underway, some are brought on a business trip to the port to test the surrounding soils fertility for the leaf.

2.
The Gas Refinery undergoes an expansion.

Floe would very noticeably not take well to the puns about her relationship with Floe, though would calm down quite a bit after the military leader in question stopped. When they suggested working with Pyre and she actually made herself known however, she'd be a bit more smug and say "Of course she needs my... help..." as she turned around and saw that Pyre was not how she looked when she last met her...staring in a bit of shock at the fact Pyre had clearly became an Empress fey. She'd mostly remain silent and would at that point more begrudgingly agree to work with her, if only because it was against chaos, noticeably more subdued given the circumstance.

After the incident, well, you already know what happened with her venting some of her frustrations. By the end of, well, everything. She was noticeably more quiet after, well, the incident and just focused on her work. Which at this time would be doing similar preparation to the first time she dealt with chaos. She'd go south, and try to get some eldritch mages under her, temporarily at least. It also would provide Chasma with the weapons she wanted seeing as the smiths in eldrich lands weren't adverse to the stuff unlike fey...Or Chasma for that matter.

>Action One. Get some Eldrich mages under wing like the first time the RWWE dealt with chaos.

>Action Two. Get some weapons for Chasma while getting the mages.
