    It has been three days since the Crab King sunk the USS Michigan and converted it into your VILE LAIR. During that time, you have molted, and are now eighteen feet long, leg-span not included. Your mantis shrimp minions have been adding their molted shells to your shell throne, along with the husks of their kills, which serve as tribute to your glorious crabby visage.

    After molting, your stats are as follows:
    Condition: Crabby
    Inventory:
    Double Carapace
    Pistol Claw
    Fighting Claw
    Speedy Legs
    Vile Seaweed Cape
    Shell-crown made of giant pistol shrimp

    Defense: 8
    Close-Range attack: 5
    Long-Range attack: 5
    Speed: 6

    Which stat do you wish to upgrade? You have three expendable points from molting.

    Perhaps upgrading can wait for later.

    You sit atop your shell throne, contemplating your next move. To your south is a known refuge for your hated nemeses, a clan of squid. They are invariably over ten feet long, and will not hesitate to swarm and consume you.
    To the West lies unexplored territory.
    To the North and East lies various habitats for shrimp and other lesser crustaceans ripe for the subjugating.

    Confident in your martial prowess, you save your three evolution points for later and venture North-East from your vile lair. A squad of seven mantis bulls follows you as a small bodyguard contingent.

    Before you, you can make out three habitats. One is for more mantis shrimp, the other is pistol shrimp, and the last one is the home of some particularly nasty lobsters you know of. They are all easily twelve feet long at the smallest.

    You swing your fighting claw forward, signaling the attack. While your mantises charge, you pick up and hurl a nearby piece of coral (it was all that was around). Your coral misses slightly, but your follow up pistol shot knocks one lobster right in the face, causing him to fly backwards several feet. Your seven mantises have completely covered another lobster, and although two are taken and crushed in its massive claws, the beast eventually goes down, several holes punched in it.

    The remaining three lobsters charge you, pincers ready!

    You ready your claw, and manage to fry one lobster at close range. Its "face" goes red as it twitches slightly before dying. The other two clutch your powerful claws and hold them at bay, whilst clubbing you with their free hands! Your mantises rush to your aid, and manage to surround one. Your fighting claw is now free.

    The lobster that had been shot earlier is now returning to the battle.

    Summoning all of your crabby might, you shove your claw directly into the mouth of the lobster holding your pistol arm. You open your claw, and the entire head of the lobster explodes in a shower of gore and shell fragments. Its grip slackens, and you wrench your pistol free, firing quickly at the charging lobster. Unfortunately, your shot goes wide of the target.

    however, your minions are done tearing the first lobster in half, and have tied up the charger.

    A most excellent idea. The throne has been deconstructed. Bits of your various kills, including your own molted shell, have been crafted into armor for your subjects. Only the most fearsome, loyal, and elite of your troops will be graced with armor crafted of your own body!

    You perform the "Shining Scuttle," a dance saved for moments of great oratory and passion. Enthralled by your vision of a better tomorrow for all of crustacean-kind, the mob clacks their claws and scuttles about excitedly in support of you.

    You just got 80 new subjects.

    Do these, epic speach and give our guests a gift so they spread the word of our greatness. No feast though, need to save food.

    Next we should get to work on upgrading our lair and setting up a farm and hunting parties so we can sustain our new empire.

    Your lobsters are creatures bred for battle. Their hardened shells and vicious claws will be of great help. They also serve as strong laborers.
    Role: Labor and heavy support

    Pistol shrimp are nimble, deadly, and make effective ranged fighters. They are weak in close combat and are not generally helpful for labor.
    Role: Long-range support

    Mantises are bread-and-butter shrimp. They pack a punch, literally, and can act as effective laborers.
    Role: Elite troops and labor

    Crabs are useful for close combat and labor. Their hard carapaces will protect them, while their claws will keep enemies tangled up in melee combat. They also make good laborers, and are skilled in agriculture (?)
    Role: basic troops and labor

    You are now manually picturing a Helm's Deep scenario involving crustaceans vs cephalopods.

    And as an aside. I started this quest last night out of utter boredom. I figured, "Well what the fuck, I'll see where /tg/ takes being a huge ass crab." I totally didn't expect it to take off like this. Thanks to everyone who has been participating in the creation of the Crab Empire.

    So how will the labor be divided? Your mantises (the 30 that have been with you the whole time) are knowledgeable and learned in the ways of crafting. They can direct your laborers and will do the best job patching up your defenses. You have 12 females and 18 males.

    Is there a lesser non- crustacean meat source that isn't going to fight back, kind of like a cow, or a pig, or chicken of the sea...Tuna.

    I say we start farming and livestock next.
    >> Crabmaster !vuOBu6g15U 04/22/10(Thu)23:01 No.9368927
    There are schools of fish inhabiting the reefs to the northeast. You cannot use them as livestock, but hunting and gathering with keep your subjects both combat-ready and well fed.

    Your most talented craftshrimp, Mantasia, will gladly create a grand entrance for you provided you can supply her with shiny things and cool trophies.

    The lobsters will obviously be for heavy lifting/moving. The crabs will be the grunt workers, split in even groups to facilitate working on one project from multiple angles.

    Can we use our mighty intelligence to create simple tools such as levers, pulleys, ect. to further our progress?

    Lobsters should work on building a ring of rocks and coral around our domain, or at least the area directly around our IRON LAIR. All crabs should farm due to food need, and pistol shrimp should train on small cephalopods and the like. Mantis shrimp continue whatever they were doing before.
    >> Anonymous 04/22/10(Thu)23:07 No.9369021
    Ok, Send our crabs out to work on the kelp farm (if we dont have one send them out to work on collecting kelp and planting it closer to our lair)

    lobsters will work on expanding our fortress, digging down below the ship for storage and bending the metal where they can for sleeping quaters.

    We will send pistol shrip out hunting for fish.

    We shall go south and hunt squip along with our mantises.
