Aaaaand we're back.Last time on Civ Game: Hard mode, we ventured into the dark depths of the dragon tail mountains, there we found a magical cursed sword that corrupted the captains mind. We befriend a lake monster and eventually gain it as an ally, but when the capital comes under threat of attack by a 1000-goblin army all forces fall back to the capital in preperation for a siege. The goblin army is finally here, and they plan to take the Seat of Kri'kla!____________________Part 1: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/19798864/____________________Update will be posted in just a moment!!
Heyman, nice to see you again.
>mfw that sword will be the death of us.General Mode GO!
[ENTERING GENERAL MODE]The enemy is at our doorstep, it would seem that they have a battering ram. Our archers have been trying halt the ram by killing it's pushers, but they're under heavy fire from the enemy archers. While the goblinoid archers are innacurate, they fire so many arrows that it doesn't matter.The lake monster stands by the rest of the soldiers at the gate, clad in iron armore and wielding dual maces. The high priest and his brother stand behind the warriors. Eheactl is at the vanguard of the group.Pit falls are around the walls to protect from siege ladders.We have three full tubs of shrapnel on the walls, we can dump them on whatever is rushing the gate to cause damage.What are your orders?[Think strategically, and try to come to an agreement with your fellow tacticians.]>Paint.net doesn't like me.
bump
how far are the goblins from the walls?
>>19812011would it be feasible to open the gates, slap the shit of the ram crew and then retreat back in?
>>19812033It would if we could easily open the gate, but as it stands it takes at least a few minutes to open/close the gate. Something we should probably improve on if we survive this.>>19812011Like fourty feet. They could reach the gate in about twenty seconds.
>>19812132Well.I think we might be fucked.Is the ram shielded from archer fire?Could we set the ram on fire?
>>19812176The pushers are protected from archer fire, but fire might be able to smoke them out.
>>19812253Well, we got nothing better to do.A consensus of one for this tactical maneuver.
>>19811980Destroy some houses, use the rocks to pour in front of the ram making it impossible for it to get to the gate.
>>19812331I like it.
>>1981213220 seconds? Fuck, we need readily available rocks instead of destroying houses then. Do we have the stuff do do that, or are we forced to simply pepper the force with arrows?They will send more goblins to the ram either way, so shooting the ram-people isn't doing much if they will be replaced. Aim for the obvious spearhead of the goblins and try to thin their numbers out instead.
>>19812364I don't think they are actually attacking, just that they are close to the walls.Pile rubble on our side of the gate/pour it over the walls. We must stop them getting in at all costs.
The high priest grunts, "MEN, TAKE SOME ROCKS FROM THE STOCK PILE AND THROW THEM OVER THE WALL!" He orders, the lizardmen obey without question. Thankfully they already had a good supply of rocks within the town. In addition, the high priest orders the archers to light their arrows on fire, something they had never done before. The archers shoot fire arrows down onto the battering ram, and at the same time soldiers throw heavy rocks down onto the enemy. The occupants of the battering ram are smoked out and flee, screeching wildly only to be shot down after a few seconds. 800 spear and axe wielding goblins run forward to unbury the ram. Some run up with small buckets of water and throw them on the ram, others start throwing rocks into the spike pits. The goblins swarm over the gate like rats, chopping their axes into the gate.What are your orders?
>>19812565
>>19812570Age of Empires battering ram! I like your style OP
>>19812565Time to pour rubble down over the gate.If we got some latrines... Pour them over too. Or whatever flammable liquids we can set on fire. Is there a smith set up? Send some to fetch s much ember as possible and throw it over the gate.We need the most nasty shit we can find that we can pour over the gate to confuse, stun, horrify and hurt them.
>>19812565throw that shrapnel stuff we prepared, keep firing on the goblin archer unit.Make sure that ram stays covered/on fire.
>>19812644we don't want to urn the gate down
>>19812679Shooting at the archers is pointless. As soon as the "fighters" have routed, the archers will follow. Focus on the ones that are expected to breach the walls.
No fire on the gate. Get the chamber ports, mortar, rocks, shrapnel anything we can finde and dump it on the gate. As for the areas away from the gay pelt anyone who approaches with fire arrows, or arrows coated with shit so that their targets die of infection.we are fucked man.
>>19812635It's the batteriest of the battering rams
>>19812752Yes, yes we are.I doubt we shall live through this one.Lets ask the evil sword what to do.Couldn't hurt.
>>19812698Burning through a thick wall doesn't work that quickly.
>>19812752>arrows coated with shit
>>19812799They are goblins.
>>19812750Good point.No more archer shooting.
>>19812799I shit you nopt, one of the oldest methods of poisoning your opponent known to man. The mongols did it, desert bandits did it. Cavemen probably did it. guaranteed to fester enemy wounds.don't tell me we have to research this. Do we need to build a poopsmithery?
>>19812900MEN! TO THE LATRINES!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83bmsluWHZc
The soldiers start dumping over whatever they can over the wall, shrapnel and hot ash mainly, the archers focus their fire on the goblins trying to unbury the ram. The debris and shrapnel pierce and burn the goblins, some stumbling into the spike pit where they were impaled. However the archers on the walls were taking extremely heavy losses, the goblin archers were picking them off slowly but surely. Due to the lizardmens dwindling number of archers the goblins mannaged to unbury to ram enough to use it once, they hit the gate and it shakes, nearly falling over. Before the goblins could use it again the ram breaks, buckling over on itself. The goblins now work to cut through the gate, they swarm it even more than before, hundreds of axes smash against the gate...It won't hold for long.
>>19812900Somebody post that agincourt strip.
scramble the troops in preparation of the goblins over-running the defenses. make all warriors grab a buddy. make those two buddies back each other up on EVERYTHING fighting in teams of two and covering one another. if one of the two dies in one such unit, psychologically the other loses their shit and fights twice as hard until they are killed, if they are killed. i would say that we should dig a pit on the other side of the gate filled with shit, and shrapnel (to kill and cause infection) so that when/if goblins jumped over it they would land in death, but we dont have time for that do we.... have all troops set up at on the ramparts and at the base of the walls/gate make sure archers stay to the back or on the ramparts firing down, and troops though buddied up with one partner, are in squads of about 10 to keep morale up. keep your power players like the lake monster etc spaced out and mobile. a tactic ive seen used is where a wizard summons up a harmless but frightening apparition that scares his own troops into running onto the field to escape it, but that is useless here as well i think.
>>19813037
fuck.Use the evil sword.
>>19813037Ask the demon sword what to do.The demon sword seems to know what the fuck is going on, it got us out of trouble once, perhaps we can sacrifice a baby or something
>>19813047if we can id also suggest building walls on either side of the gate entrance (maybe use magic to summon two iron walls?) so that as the goblins funnel inwards they are in one large group which can very easily be flanked. if thats even possible
>>19813046>>19813047if we cant dig a pit at the least, through wood and shit in front of the gate and set it ablaze to slow them down as they try to come in, the smell of burning shit, depending on the shit, can actually be very dangerous to someones health alone. at least breathing in the smoke directly
>>19813112>magic>lizardmen>magic>lizardmenDid you even open the first thread?
Ask the sword to help us.
>>19813152noexplain the implications of lizards
>>19813037Form a wall of spears behind the gate, make the goblins walk into speartips. Form the lizardmen in as many rows as possible, so that if a goblin manages to break through the first line of tips, there will be one more and probably a third one as well.Now, the battle of attrition has come.Might as well retire the bowmen from the walls, they've done what they can. Set them up as the rear guard, and give them spears as well to join the fight for the walls. Leave some behind in case some siege ladders arrive, though.
>>19813176First thread bro, check the link in the opening post.
>>19813176AlrightNewsflashWe are in the second threadThe one after the first thread.Now, this kind of shit is fine on /b/, but here it actually helps if you know what the fuck is going on.NowAlright, you still with me?Open the first thread.It might be hard, but I need you to try.Now read the opening posts by the OP.Now, scroll down.All the way.Now read the last post.Congratulations, you are no educated.
>>19813212Retreat the archers, form a spear wall.Ask the sword for help/
>>19813214hey thanks for being a total asshole!!!>>19813212hey thanks for treating me like an average human being!!!
Lizards can't do magic. Is one of thier racial handicaps.Demon sword, ask it for help. We might as well worship it if it can get us out of this.
>>19813241No problemo bro.We don't take kindly to your kind around here.
>throw shit and wood in front of the gate and set it on fire so that they have more trouble getting in>dump shrapnel still as they funnel in upon them>ask the sword wat do >scramble the lizurds
And you guys said we should ditch the sword.
>>19813260>my kind
>>19813272The sword will kill us all. Its a cursed sword, thats what cursed swords DO.I however will choose eventual death over immediate death. If the death sword can help us now then we use it. THEN we ditch it.
>>19813279Yeah.The kind who use three exclamation marks.The kind who don't capitalize their sentences.No punctuation, no grammar.Obvious newfaggotry.
>>19813260>>19813260LOLI like how you say 'we' and you're the only guy being a dick to this guylighten upit's a quest thread, not a life or death situationI swear I've encountered bombs with more patience than you
>>19813288>implyingBLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GODSKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONEALL HAIL THE HOLY SWORD.
>>19813309THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN? THIS IS A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION, IF YOU DON'T GUIDE THESE POOR LIZARDMEN TO SAFETY THEY'LL ALL DIE AND YOU'LL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT GUILT!
Uhh, the next update is probably being written already, but I have an idea.Why don't we just pile the rubble behind the gate? It should wedge it shut and buy us some time.
>>19813347It's ok, we understandGet to yer writing and we will get to our bad choice making.Remember:Ask the sword.
>>19813300I would love to say that I'm trolling you or something, but it would seem you just naturally get super butthurt over nothing at all. Enjoy your anal-rage onset by.... poor grammar? on the internet..... Anyhow, proceed
Pile whatever rubble we have left behind the gate, then set the rubble pile on fire with pitch and wood.also beseech the death sword for help.
use the sword that will bring the apocalypse
At least one of the people posting in this stupid circlejerk of a derail is a troll, because it's me. Let's all please stop and talk about Lizardmen.
>>19813300You must mean>The kind that uses threeand>The kind that doesn't I'm afraid, 'The Kind who don't' is grammatically incorrect itself, imbecile. Be wary, lest you become that which you decry.
So is it agreed that we are going to put rubble, shit, pitch, and whatnot behind the gate and light it up to slow them down - and in the meantime we will beg for dark mercy from the evil blade, that it might deliver us from a gruesome golbim death?
Krikla demands attention be turned to our plight!
>>19813477Yep.
>>19813429WOULD YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP? GODDAMN, YOU ALL ARE LIKE THE COUPLE THAT CONTINUALLY ARGUE IN THE GROUP.I'M TRYING TO SEE HOW THIS GAME GOES ASSHOLES. FUCK YOU IN THE CUNT YOU WORTHLESS BASTARDS.
>using shithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGOGpbY2fvw
After running out of shrapnel and other debris to throw at the enemy, high priest Pahualaxa orders for the archers to fall back. "MEN, BRACE THE GATE, IF THEY BREACH THE WALL THERE WILL BE NO HOPE!" The lizardmen brace the gate, they take their spears out and form a spear wall, the archers position themselves behind the spearmen, they draw their bows and wait for the enemy to breach the gate."They're all weak." The sword whispered. "They don't value you." It muttered to Eheactl. "I am your salvation." Eheactl accepted the swords whispers, he believed them to be true. He talked back to the sword, "Yes, but what should I do to save my people?" He asked,"Simple. Simply use me against the enemy, donot worry, you will not perish." Eheactl nodded slowly and started to make his way up to the wall. The high priest noticing he had the sword in his hand. "Damnit!" He grunted.When the high priest gained posession of the sword he could feel an evil presence lurking within, a demon, a ghost, a spirit. He didn't tell the public for fear of panicing them. But now he knew, the sword had a will of it's own, and it had taken control of Eheactl with it's honeyed words. But he felt as though he wzs more needed here, so he stayed for the time being...
>>19813505Excuse me, I am neither the uninitiated fellow or the anon that was lecturing him upon the merits of grammar. I was merely pointing out an inconsistency that amused me. My apologies for perpetuating the conflict. I too, however, would like to see the next phase of the battle, and how much further in the favor of our enemy it might unravel...
The goblins kept chopping at the gate, eventually piercing the thick wood. They peered through the gates holes and into the courageous lizardmen, they screeched wildly with bloodlust. The lizardmen braced themselves for the fight to come.Eheactl peered down at the enemy archers, who were now aiming their bows at him. They fired, Eheactl just stood their, confident that his sword would protect him. And so it did, a blueish force field appeared around him and blocked all of the arrows. Eheactl jumped over the wall and landed without injury. He walked towards the archers...200 of the goblins noticed Eheactl and supposed that he was the lizardmens leader, they surrounded him and prepared for combat...[EHEACTL LEFT COMMAND, YOU CANNOT ORDER HIM NOW.]What are your orders commander?
>>19813559Sit tight, see what the fuck goes down.
>>19813547hnnnnnnngggggI still vote that we put flaming rubble behind the door, if we pile it high it will even fall down on the first goblins to break through the gates. When the other goblins try to climb over it they will be fatigued and burned and easy to hit with arrows.
This should be good.Lets sit back and watch.
HEY GUISE, GUISE, GUISE. GUISE. I WILL FUCKING TURN THIS THREAD AROUND IF YOU LIZARDS DON'T STOP ARGUING!
>>19813559I wonder...Can we make "nutjob with a demon sword" a branch of our military? As in, we just kinda let the sword have him, and convince him/them to save the killing for our enemies?You know, assuming we don't get wiped right now. By the goblins or the sword.
>>19813547Keep bracing the wall, we have all the benefits from using out defences. Maintain unit cohesion and discipline - DO NOT be swayed to charge outside of the gates in case Eheactl makes the goblins waver or something.But let's pray to our scaly patron god that the magnificent bastard gives them hell.
Actually, I say we use this to our advantage. We press the attack. Charge the gate, overwhelm the gobbos at the forefront. When Eheactl emerges victorious, the gobs should break.Thoughts?
>>19813625BUT DADDY LIZARD! ONE OF THE ANONS MADE AN ERROR IN GRAMMAR! THAT'S A NO, NO!
>>19813679Not the best idea.We have less than a tenth of their total force.We sit tight and wait for the evil sword to do something.
>>19813559Form an inward v formation at the gate and prepare to chop down their ranks. If this worked for the Romans, it'll work for us.
>>19813679We will be charging into open ground against a numerically superior foe, with overwhelming ranged weapon support.Nawh, I won't change my vote.
>>19813690Fate makes bedfellows with great lizards. Seize the day, etc. etc.Don't be a pussy.
>>19813722You really are mad.
>>19813722with any luck the demon sword will kill the goblins. Lets let IT do all the work and keep our nice, strong military intact.also lets talk to the humans later, hopefully thay know an exorcist or something.
>>19813698i second this motion
>>19813698I third this emotion.
Ok, I'm currently reading through the first thread. At what point did we get iron tech?>>19813742That's kinda the gist of things.
>>19813753>70 men>strongdis nigga.
>>19813802Early on.

............................................
The lizardmen form an inward V, the goblins will charge right into a killzone.Finally the goblins break down the door, the gate shatters and the blood thirsty goblins charge into the lizardmens spear wall ferociously. Many of them die, but some of the smaller ones manage to slip past the spears and injure the spearmen. The archers open fire, twenty arrows fire into the sea of green enemies, they quickly switch to maces and swords, they take out the enemies that slip past the the spear wall. The battle wages on, but the lizardmen are being overhwhelmed and won't last much longer.Meanwhile Eheactl is fighting off 175 goblins, while wiedling the sword he moves much faster than even the fastest lizards, he is stronger than the ogres, and without breaking a sweat he wipes out fifty of them, more to come...What are your orders?
Also, since we are asexual, shouldn't our population increase be nearly equal to our current population? I.E. Current pop 100, next growth ~90.
>>19813978Have the lake waifu kill any that slip through/bolster weakening areas.
>>19813978No other option than HOLD DA LINE, oh and get whats-her-name to charge in.
>>19813978Send in the lake monster!
>>19813978Stand fast, and keep stabbing.Let's see if the archers can stand behind on some boulders or soemthing so they can lob arrows over the heads of the spearmen and into the gate were the goblins are the most packed together. Easy to hit, and too cramped to raise any shields.
tell luzard waifu we love her and do our best to reinforce the shield wall.
>>19814017I agree. But have her flank them. Nothing demoralizes more than a monster coming behind you and an army infront of you.
>>19814061By army, you mean 50ish lizards
>>19814005Not all of the lizards are fertile every year.>AKA: I have population growth based on a division system. Right now we're gaining 1 4th of our total population.
>>19813978Lets hope Eheactl decides to go after the archers after he is done with the mass around him.Have lake-milfster act as a sweeper and kill the gobs that break through the formation to prevent our lizards from being flanked
No offense AD...But since fenix is here...Who wants a mad science or Raider civ going as well as this one?
urhm... note to self, construct mechanism to bring down walls closer to gate so that the entry is much more narrow - then we have a '300' situation where their superior numbers mean nothing. employ the aid of our lake monster compatriot.. we pray for the best.
>>19814240Alright cool. Just wondering.
>>19814274Me! *raises hand*
>>19814274I dont see why we cant have 2 civ quest going. Although some people might PMS about a need for a /q/ face it we keep tg alive as well.
>>19814322/q/ would be fucking awesomeas long as it had superlong 404 times
>>19814368Nawh, then we can't have Quests on /tg/
Eheactl is moving faster every second, his body augmented by the swords strange properties, he nearly wipes out the entire batallion of goblins. The archers start to fall back in fear of being caught in the massacare. Meanwhile in the gat the lizardmen are still fighting strong, the lake monster reinforcing the weaker spots of the formation. The goblins are demoralized by the monster and fight less efficiently. The formation takes losses however, as the goblins superior numbers are simply too much to handle. It seems as though the goblins don't have a leader, they aren't fighting at 100% either, some lizardmen notice that the goblins are sick and injured even before they're killed. Nonetheless, the lizardmen press on. The formation is starting to loosen, and will probably break at this rate if something isn't done. Lizardmen that are behind the spearmen throw javelins into the goblin masses, killing many of them...The lake monster is starting to become wild from the fighting.What are your orders?
/q/ would be nice, but I dunno if the demand is so great we'd nee d a whole 'nother board Mad science quest comin' up! have Lake waifu kill any gobbos that get past the shield wall, hopefully Haxxor the lizard man will scare them off.
>brb making burger, and sorry for the slow updates, things'll pick up after this battle.
>>19814419Pull waifu back, she needs to calm the fuck downHold the line, let the archers get swords/have them back up any breaches.
>>19814437Aw man, do the Raider quest. That'd make my day comrade.
>>19814419Tapping into lake-milf's wild energy, have her climb the wall and body slam the goblin army.
Pull waifu back, bring in the children, the oldsters, anyone. Have the priests come in and get some better discipline going among the troops, see if the priests can make our men hold the line.
okay show of question marks, or hands or whatver. Raider Quest or science quest?Raider: murder and de[pravity set on a steampunk desert.Mad Science Quest: A steampunk world. scientists on an island that time forgot preparring for an invasion from the outside world.R or MS?
Eheactl will make short work of that last 50, and when he does I suggest he follow up on the ranks attacking our gate from behind, splitting the attack. if our ranks are about to break, and waifu is growing enraged... i suggest we have our men hold the lines until waifu is really berserk, then we move back and let her unleash the brunt of her fury on them, and attack from the sides while she destroys in the middle and Eheactl sweeps from behind. the archers cannot harm us while we are not on the ramparts, and will likely avoid the fray after seeing Eheactl's skill. this is all very very risky... im worried. if it comes down to it, have our warriors move up the stairs - giving them the highground, but not to the top of the ramparts where they will be vulnerable to archers.... but only if necessary
>>19814554MSQ
>>19814555We do not know what the waifu will do when she is beserkpull her back and calm her down.
>>19814555>>19814511combine these. have the priests chant to boost morale.
>>19814567thats what makes it so risky? if we pull her back it will boost the morale of the golbims, if we just do what we're doing she could hurt some of our warriors. idunno... the only thing im afraid of is her and eheactl getting into a brawl
>>19814554RQ
>>19814554>>19814452Demon sword aura seems to make Eheactl immune to missile fire anyway. So he can afford to turn his back on the archers and attack the infantry who are having a go at us.>>19814555Last time she went berserk against 10 of our fully armed lizards she broker their weapons and killed a couple. Your plan sounds nice but its a gamble though - we need to keep her alive to make lizard-monster hybrids.
Fuck, forgot to say i would rather a game of murder orgy raiders than mad science. As we havent had a raider quest in a bit
Pull waifu back, hold the line, get the archers to use swords to patch up any breaches.
pull back waifu, have the priests chant.2 requests for Raider quests, log onto supTG and upvote those threads!
>>19814632dont we still have her babbies? and yeah, it really is a big risk, the major one being her running into eheactl. im only 50/50 on it but what other choice do we have? calling her back might give the gulbims the morale they need to make a push and crush our faltering lines...
>>19814719We need to pull her back, if only long enough she can calm down.Keep her in sight, and be ready to send her back in at a moments notice, but pull her back.I dun want no raging water monster.
It is in our best interest, now that the battle has enraged and excited her, to attempt to court the lake monster while the adrenaline is running through her and her body is ready. now may be our only opportunity to breed a mightier race of lizardfolk, that we might rule this earth.

rolled 51 = 51LOL>>19814818The goblins will fear us Lizard men as they watch the leader have angry sex with a lake monster. They rout at the sight of our manliness - dropping their weapons and running only to walk straight into Eheactl who is going nuts with his demon sword
rolled 65 = 65OP you are killing me. if you are taking 15 minutes to eat, is that going to be added to the 20 minutes between posts? not to bust your balls or anything. im an impatient prick i guess but the anticipation is brutal i tell you
>>19814950Both of the priests start chanting to increase morale, "THIS IS A TEST FROM KRI'KLA THE GREAT SERPENT, DONOT DISAPPOINT HER!" They continue. The soldiers calm down the lake monster and pull her back, but when a stray arrow pierces her neck she goes berserk, rushing into the fray and decimating the goblins with her monsterous strength, at the same time she is stabbed dozens of times, which causes her to bleed heavily. Many of the lizardmen succumb to the goblin scum...Eheactl finished off the last of the goblin battalion, and changes his focus to the archers. He grins wildly. The goblins flee in terror of the unstoppable beast known as Eheactl. But it is no use. The sword whispers into Eheactls ear, "Use me, brave warrior, anihilate these weaklings...", "Yess.." He mutters. He raises the magical sword high up into the air and as he brings it down he shouts "RO!". A huge arc of violent energy emerges from the blade and utterly wipes out the goblin archers.What are your orders?>15 min eating break.
rolled 17 = 17Mate with lake waifu, and kill eheactl in his sleep.

>>19815219YIKESdilemma... if we are able to call the monster back now, she may die, and if we leave her to destroy a large portion of the gulbims she will certainly die but take out mannnny of them with her.... idunno we should do everything possible to save her. our medicine is strong enough i hope.. and we cant really order eheactl but if he is wise he will attack the goblins from the rear and divert their attention, and finish them off quickly too as we are losing warriors quickly now.
>>19815246its k, im jus happy you're doin this yaknow? enjoy that burger(quickly):S
>>19815219We're outnumbered 6 to 1, but we have currently two monsters making short work of the enemy. I suggest we try to conserve as many lizardmen as we can.Make the man stay close, have them fall back and form themselves into an encasement of shields (we do have shields right?) and spears, with the priests inside. This should hold until our leader comes to our aid.
>>19815297i like this, but dont, because then no one is there to distract from teh monster. plus, eheactl and the monster are both enraged/possessed. aka if they see each other, they will kill each other as though they were looking at any other gawlbim. that will be bad.
rolled 59 = 59>>19815246take your time OP, the pictures are kind of a must for this.also pull back lake waifu and HOLD. THAT. LINE.

>>19815297Let's do this
Also, when we win, breed with the lake monster so we can explore the lake(fuck boats)
rolled 53 = 53>>19815297But consider the fact that we have been killing them at a rate of 10 to 1. We can survive a drawn out battle but to have minimum loses we need a quick plan that's effective.
>>19815297We don't have shields.>feelsbadman
i mean... i say we order the troops to push forward, see if we can force the gulbims back out of the gate while they are kind of disoriented. plus as we push them out the gate we push them into the grinder ala eheactl yaknow? worth trying something. we cant just stand here. what have we to lose?
>>19815630our lives, the game.
>>19815556i'm making shields the second we get out of general mode, if that doesn't mark the end of the campaign anyway...
>>19815643eheactl is nigh invulnerable and we are defeating the gubilms at such a high rate with our lizurds that we can definitely afford to push forward and force them back.
>>19815673they have 10 goblins for every man we havethey could we unarmed and we could still lose.
>>19815692>negative bullshitthat's laughablethis entire conflict we have only lost 20 warriors, and our enemies have lost 300 and counting. so, if the rate of death stays the same, we'll only lose 20 more and they will all die. that of course is not accounting for the advantage eheactl has coming up from behind while they are cornered, the number that a fully enraged lake monster will take out, and if we march forward our morale will increase further. so really we'll probably only lose 10 more lizards. I say, we march forwards.
"FALL BACK, IT IS TOO DANGEROUS HERE!!" Pahualaxa shouted, the lizardmen retreated deeper into the town where they reformed in a shield formation to protect the priests. But the goblins seemed to be distracted by the lake monster and now the approaching Eheactl. The Zlatitza was in a full rage, crushing goblins left and right, picking them up and throwing them into the sky, aswell as bludgeoning them with her iron maces. But she had lost too much blood, and her movements were sloppy now.Eheactl entered the fray, slicing goblins to bits with ease, and by chance Zlatitza was in Eheactls path. She was literally cut in half by Eheactl. He didn't react, he simply kept killing, the sword in his hand glowing even more brightly than before. If anything stood in his path he would kill it, it was no longer about proving his worth to the high priests, it was about the thrill of power...Eheactl may even come after the high priests at this rate..What are your orders?>RIP Lake Monster/Zlatitza 2012 - 2012

>>19815741did i predict that? i mean, i still push for us to march forward and force them out and into eheactl. the chances of him killing all of us are no higher at the back of the fray than they are on the edge of it. he will either stop when he sees us, or we will all die miserably, regardless of where we stand - so we may as well aid him in the fight. a moment of silence for waifu, who perished before we consummated our love. we will take care of her young

great, eheactl is totally corrupted by the dark power of an evil sword. he will destroy the gulboms and then he will kill the people he was protecting from the giblums in the first place. we are doomed to be destroyed by one of our own kind rather than at the hands of our foes... this is horrible

>>19815907>he hasn't seen the magical wave of death!
so OP, what does eheactl do? simply slaughter the rest of them while we cower? I believe it is the group consensus not to budge except to retreat assuming the golbims chase us (they wont make it far before eheaclt kills them anyhow) so all you really have to do is write 'eheactl kills all the gilbums and calms his tits' OR 'eheactl kills everything, you lose LOL LAWL HAHA' OR 'gobulms kill eheactl with miracle feat, then you run away' it's really boiled down to those three
rolled 16 = 16>>19815907agreed, lets push the remaining gobbos out of the settlement and HOLD. DAT. LINE.We'll bury lake waifu later and raise her children as our own.
>>19815907bad idea throwing shit, might provoke eheactl who could destroy us all with his cone of death and invulnerability to projectiles. this is his fight now.
>>19815927This, OP. Which outcome is it?
The high priest orders the soldiers to stand their guard. They nervously watch the battle continue. Eheactl slays every last one of the goblins, his cursed blade drenched in blood. On closer inspection it seems as though a blue gas is seeping from the corpses and being absorbed into the blade. Eheactl sets his eyes on the Lizardmen and the high priests, who are still on guard. "They are afraid of you, thing will never be the same..You can never go back, Eheactl." The blade told Eheactl. Eheactl turned around and started walking away from the battle, into the wilderness. His sorrow was so thick that it could be felt in the air. He was no longer the same Eheactl as before. The blade had poisoned his mind for good.VICTORY[Entering Civilization Mode]The lizardmen spent the rest of the day burying the dead and scavenging from the goblin corpses, they didn't find anything of value. But in the carts they found tons of shiny yellow coins and food stuffs.Next turn it will be winter, so choose wisely on what you want to do.

fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu >he will return one day and destroy usOP are we coldblooded like regular lizards and thusly pretty much going to die in cold weather unless we burrow underground? Or can we survive in the cold? I vote we dig a burrow as a safe den for now anyways, and put the food, children, coin, monster babbies, and priests all there. if we go underground and put all of our valuables there, and the gate is still destroyed - anyone who wanders through will have nothing to take and assume us dead. if they find the den, it is a narrow entry where we can hold them off. we need to move this operation underground, and rebuild our strength in hiding, agreed?
>>19816076>not reading the first thread.

Repair errthang, i like the digging of a safe den idea... and moving the monsters in. and yeah, we def better leave the capn alone, thats some bad juju - we dont chase that shit until we know how to stop it.
>>19816037(i'll be tripfagging for your threads op, mind telling me when you'll be back tomorrow? I have to work early)What about the food from the goblins? they had us, by now, 20 to 1, couldn't we feast from that? If so, let us repair everything, then feast and sleep. Also, I want a priest or two along with 5 men to be sent to the waifu's babies, they need comfort.We need allies to make up for our lack of troops, so just setting things out there.>Things needed:>Shields>Warhounds>Iron arrowsAny other ideas, maybe we can work on a priority list of sorts.

>>19816132>warhoundsnot really a priority while our village is in pieces and we have no people...........>iron arrowswe already have them.>feastnot wise to waste our food with winter coming We should rebuild some of our defenses, and go underground to repopulate and forge tools.
rolled 27 = 27>>19816132>>19816140we're cold blooded, so yes we need a burrow to hibernate in during winter.We don't have warhounds because we don't have dogs, we have iron arrows I'm pretty sure because we have iron spears.Maybe we should talk to those humans when we have the chance, see if they have some dogs or something.
>>19816076We are cold blooded, we already have underground burrows, the winters here are fucking cold as shit so nobody will be going outside.>>19816132Either 12:00PM PST or 6:00PM PST, or both. Don't know what that translates to in 4chin time.
>>19816200well then why does everyone want to rebuild our village when we wont be using it for the next season?? we should move all of our shit into the burrows and have orgies while our blacksmiths make shields and weapons and ARMOR. and since we're asexual i guess it would just be circle jerking, only we wouldnt even be touching each other. itd just be alot of lizards jerking in a room. alot. :x
>>19816226because people could slap us while we sleep
>>19816174I mean for a list of priorities post-winter time my good fellow. For which your thoughts and ideas are more so than welcome.Warhounds I thought of as a way to make up for our semi-non existent military force. I do believe we are yet to adhere stones at the end of our arrows for some reason, correct me if i'm wrong.And as to the feast. It was exclamed by op during the last winter that our kind required to feast before entering hibernation, so I was just attending what I believe is a necessity.

rolled 81 = 81>>19816226okay you know what, you're right I change my vote. Lets just move everything of value down to the burrow system and leave the village to winter. make sure we have a connection to the lake babbies so we can feed and care for them.
>>19816240>hibernate>hibernateoh lawd nodats gon' suckand i approve of the warhound idea just... how? and im pretty sure we have iron arrows now..
[B]The few lizardmen that are left tend to the walls and the gate, they work quickly for they know winter is almost here. Thankfully they have a comfortable amount of food so they won't have to work themselves to death scavenging. Once the repairs are complete the high priests leave their people to mourn the lost in their burrows.Meanwhile the high pirests visit the lake monsters children, there are two of them, and they seem to have taken a liking to the lizard folk. They waddle over to the high priests and make sounds. It comes to the high priests attention that they won't be able to periodically feed the children, since they'll be hibernating...And if they simply leave food out for them it'll rot, and they can't live in the granary, as they require water nearly at all times.__________The Lake Monsters OffspringA1: Keep a few lizards awake during hibernation to feed them.B1: Leave potatoes and cabbage, things that won't go bad very quickly.C1: Leave them to die.D1: Put them out of there misery.E1: Your choice.>Picture related.>It's what the lake monster children look like.
>>19816282A1
rolled 75 = 75Lets leave a few lizards awake during hibernation to feed the lake monsters, they can raise them as members of the tribe.A1.
>>19816237imagine this. you happen upon a village in the dead of winter while passing through. the gate is destroyed, there is evidence of a battle having taken place (rubble, a broken battering ram {which we should take pieces of into the burrow and then rebuild when we arise} and alot of arrows sticking out of the ground and a bunch of shitty weapons etc etc) no one is there. this town is empty. no food, no nothing. no evidence of life and nothing of value. with both evidence of it being overrun, and the absence of anyone living there... you assume logically that the place was ransacked a while ago and there is nothing here for you save perhaps a place to camp for a night or two. if you have reason to believe the lizardfolk are here, somehow (cant smell us with all the winter about, certainly cant see us) you search and searchsay you actually find the entry to the burrowsthat is a narrow one man at a time tunnel, that you know nothing about/is dark and possibly full of traps (we should build a trap or two) and certainly full of lizardfolk who are on their turf. no one is going to slap our shit k
>>198162416:30PMBTW guys, we pretty much have to hibernate, we have to feast before we sleep, we have iron tipped arrows, we hibernate until spring, and we don't have an underground burrow network, we have a bunch of 2-story houses that have burrow basements that warm us during the great sleep.
A1, we need all the help we can fuckin get, our forces are decimated and though i suspect we will rise anew in spring... its good to have a lil extra help.
>>19816342>build a burrow network
>>19816282As far as I've managed to read, hibernation for reptiles isn't as strict as it is for mammals.So with this in mind i'm going for a slightly modified A1. Have the lizards work turns in feeding the babies, it would be rather unfair to have a single group of our kind working to feed them. Assuming a winter lasting 90 days, we can have each lizard waking up every 51 days to feed the younglings once a day and then going back to sleep after awaking his successor.
>>19816366Either that or have the lizards who've bonded the closest to the little lake monsters be the ones to feed them through the winter. Generate a father-child relationship with them.
rolled 82 = 82our mexican comrade has raised an excellent point, we'll just have lizardmen take turns in the feeding of the lake babbies. When we wake up...burrow time.
why'd we even build fucking houses instead of a burrow network? houses can be destroyed and are not as easy to defend by any measure. I propose that when we awake, we begin constructing a subterranean kingdom.
Once a lizardman hibernates he can't wake up, it's not like they're taking a really long nap.
>>19816473well.We draw straws for the two who don't hibernate then.
>>19816400>>19816489>>19816473Does it really fuckin matter if we have them take turns or just stay up one or the other? Will it make any difference at all? Bottom line, babbies are covered.
rolled 96 = 96I still say A1. We'll just have them draw straws.
OP what's stopping shit from murdering us in our sleep when we hybernate? We really shouldn't let our enemies learn of this.
It is the first day of march, the new year. It has been just a little over a year since the lizardmen abandoned their opressive homeland and settled here, the lizardmen are starting to show a certain level of pride for their endurance. The lizardmen awake, they emerge from their burrows once more full of energy and life. The warm sun welcoming them into a new friendlier world.But when the lizardmen check up on the lake monster offspring they are forced to face a grim sight. The two lizardmen that were stationed here to feed the children died, their dead bodies coiled up as if they were sleeping, the starved corpses of the lake monster children were not far off. Their death must've been unimaginably painful, but what was even more sad was the fact that the lizardmens bodies were untouched, the lake children chose not to consume the corpses of their pseudo fathers.While life is lost, new life is born, and the high priest fortells that this year will be prosperous.

I think we oughtta get food, people are gonna be hungry. once we've stockpiled some food, then we go about arming ourselves once more, then once we are armed, we go about digging deep and building an empire below, expanding the burrows. we can take materials from the houses and move them underground to help with construction. underground, the size of the armies will matter much less, and never again will our foes have such an advantage over us. once we have a secure home, then we go about forming alliances. thoughts?

rolled 20 = 20C: lets develop shields.Did you know the star of david is actually one of the oldest, most effective designs for a shield? Its a pair of triangular metal bars laid on of one another to serve as framework for a leather cover. But fuck that, lets use real shields. Metal backing for wooden timbers as tall as alizard.
>>19816820C & A once we've collected a good amount of food in the seat of kri'kla and made sooomme weapons and armor in the mines, we let the mines focus on mining for a bit and let the seat of kri'kla focus on armaments for a turn... once we've done that, we seek out teh humans
>>19816853Man if we're doing shields lets not to pussy burnable wood lets do it some metal covered hide Greek hoplite style. But we can't because we lack the means and know how so I guess take what we can get.

>>19816882Wood's a better idea because enemies' weapons can get stuck in the wood.
How much gold did we score specifically? Is the amount worthwhile, like, say we ended up with 200, is that enough to just barely buy a shovel or enough to afford an exotic diamond?

>>19816992>>19816994you raise a good point about not giving them too much gold lest we seem rich, and worth capturing. we should give them a third maybe, as a token? it has to be worth giving because we NEED an alliance NEED NEED NEEDand we don't want to take anyone in, and breed them. we need allies, not captives. we still havent even gathered food so i dont know if we can feed ourselves let alone captive humans that serve us better as friends.

rolled 94 = 94>>19817016>>19816962clearly the sword was some manner of demon, Kri'kla created the lizard men, but only after creating many other races as practice. We were made to be tough, strong and capable, MAgic is cheating it is a way for the weak to survive, and in fact a viable path to survival, if you aren't a lizard man.There for humans are our brothers and must be taught the faith and made to serve the priest hood.TLDR: lets get some humans, brainwash them and make them acolytes who serve our priests with magic.
Dragon Tail Mines:[C]The miners in the dragon tail mines enjoy sparring on their breaks, usually with large sticks. One of the lizardmen couldn't find a decent sized stick, so he took a rather large one, when he brought it to the fight he was mocked and told that he couldn't win with such a huge weapon. He begged to differ. The lizardman swung the huge weapon at his opponent, and despite his enemies superior speed, he hit him. The huge raidal arc of the weapon made it difficult to dodge, and the impact was tremendous. Infact the lizards opponent was bruised. Of course they made amends though, lizard folk have good sportsmanship afterall.After this event it was reported to the high priest, the lizardman in question was escorted back to the capital where he was put to work as a blacksmith, told to create a weapon as big as the branch. He did, and so the greatsword was born.Seat of Kri'kla:[C]The blacksmiths of the capital became aware that they required some sort of protection other than armor during battle, the goblin siege made that lethally apparent. Many of them thought up of strange ideas, but few of them were really practical in battle. Finally a practical idea was accepted, and so it was made. Big circular discs of iron with handles on the back. They called these 'shields'.Scouts report sightings of lizardman activity on the steppes, the scouts report that a group of about thirty lizardmen are traveling across the steppes towards the south west lake. They are not aware of being sighted.

>>19817046BROTHERS>greatsword>shields>fok yarthis changes everything... I think we should send 5 of our best lizard diplomats up to find these lizard folk and invite them to the warren. we will ask them about their journey, its purpose, and the homeland.If they opt out of joining the village, we will kill them, so as to not allow them to report our location to the king. in our burrows, and unarmed, they will prove easy to dispatch. i hope it does not come to that.
>>19817079I agree
do not send the priest, send a few normal lizards so that if they are met with hostility, we lose no one of great value...
>>19817079Thirded.
>>19817079FROTHD
OP are you alive? How much golds do we haz?
>>19817079what this guy said
We need a crack team of our best engineers to get to work on designing an immovable rod STAT
>Sorry one of my bros called me, writing it up now.>BTW do you mean if they refuse to join our village we kill them? We'd be no better than the tyrannical lizard king.
>>19817180if we dont, and let them free, then they would tell the king where we are and he would find, and destroy us.... ):it isnt a situation i would like to be in but...
rolled 70 = 70if they're woking for the lizard king THEN we kill them. If not we let 'em go and warn 'em about the environment.
>>19817219yuh if they work for the king AND wont join us instead, we kill emif they are leaving him, and we decide to trust em, then we impress them with our advanced greatswords and nigh inconceivable 'shields' (still experimental tech!) and also let them know that our best fighter became possessed by a magic sword effectively allowing him to total entire armies alone, and that he will kill anything near him without hesitation, and that he could be anywhere. thatll gettem to stay
>>19817240Speaking of which, we need a new Captain. I say we promote that promising upstart... what was his name? Anaxes I think. Yes, Anaxes will make a fine Captain to lead platoons and troops in battle.

Dragon Tail Mines:[D]After many many months of tailoring, one of the hunter lizards managed to create a leather backpack from sinew and the skins of his kills. When miners used these backpacks they could double their carrying capacity, allowing for much more efficient mining and transportation of the ore.Seat of Kri'kla:[B]Using a series of ropes and wooden trays the lizardmen are able to create a pulley system to easily transport large quantities of ore up elevations.Finally the underground warrens are completed. Each houses burrow is connected through a series of spcaious corridors, a treasure room has also been added, which doubles as a safe room, a thick wooden door leads to the treasury. The tunnels and rooms in the warrens are clad in polished wood planks.
Huixhol and twenty warriors are sent to initiate diplomatic conversation with the refugees. When contacted the foreign lizardmen seem friendly..."Where do you come from my kin?" The priest asks."We come far from the northern lands, across the deserts and the dragon tail mountains. We seek to be free and independent from our corrupt leaders." The leader of the group replies."We come from the same land as us?" Huixhol asks curiously."You mean we are the first to make it? Are you the first ones that left?""Yes, we are.""What an honor! After your group deserted the city many others were inspired to follow, but many groups have been hunted down by the lizard king Xuila.""Would you join our town? We could use more help in our endeavours."When given the proposition they ponder the thought among each other, but in the end..."No, but thank you. We seek to forge our own path, we donot want to be governed by anyone else but ourselves."They are sparsely equipped, only a few crude wooden spears and clubs. You could easily overtake them, but they seem peaceful. What does Huixhol do?A: Kill them all and loot what they have.B: Loot everything they have.C: Persist, try to convince them to join.D: Leave.E: Your choice.

Who might that be?>Naw I don't want to bore you... kind of a lame story and all...I simply must know.>Well it's just this guy, used to be our most skilled fighter and leader yaknow? Well he got this awesome evil sword that possessed him, and he used it to kill maybe 600, 700 golbims singlehandedly. Shoots death rays sometimes. He hates all life, and if he sees you he'll rend the flesh from your bones or something. nbd.Oh dear, where is he, so that we might avoid him?>Oh we don't know, he wanders the forest, and the steppes. and everywhere. Could be anywhere at anytime, probably a bunch of places at once yaknow, magic and evil and all.......... Anyways, happy trails, I'm sure you'll be fine! I heard screaming from the woods just the other day which means his blade has recently fed, and his insatiable quest to bleed out the innocent might be going a tad slower than usual, or at least in not as much of a hurry. I think there's a quota deal or something? forget about it. so long!On second that, we'll just stay here for a while...
[C]"Are you sure? The winters here are many times colder than those back home, and the direction you are heading holds many dangers. Come, at least stay with us for a few months, help us work our mines and till our fields, in return we shall give you some of our tools and technology, in your current state you probably won't survive in these hostile lands."At the end of this small speech the leader seems distraught, but in the end he accepts, if only for a few months. The thirty lizardmen are intergrated into the societey easily, as mose lizardmen look alike._____________Dragon Tail MinesA. Scavenge for food.B. Try to improve settlement.C.

[D][D]By combining their efforts the wise men of both settlements discovered a breakthrough. One day while they were studying the laws of nature they found that when circular objects are rolled, they tend to stay in motion until something stops it. They found that thick disc-shaped things worked best. They called these wheels. They could only imagine what they could do with such a tool.The towns designated military kept themselves sharp and ready by sparring with each other most of the day, one of the best fighters among these sparring sessions was a young lad named Anaxes, he was not only a sharp lad by a smart one at that. Anaxes was one of the most promised strategists in the town. He was recognized by the high priest and awarded the status of captain. Many were wary of him due to the recent betrayl of the first captain. But he proved to honorable and just when tested.With the visitors working the fields some of the towns own villagers were freed up to focus their efforts elsewhere. The high priest decided that he would delegate 10 more workers to the dragon tail mines.Remembering the human corpses in the south-west forest, the high priest decides that it would be frutitous to try and find and befriend these humans, if they are still alive. He sends a group of 15 well-armed soldiers, lead by captain Anaxes, to explore the south-west forests, he gives the group a total of 300 gold pieces, one of their goals is to find out what the purpose of these pieces are.[It will take one turn for Anaxes and his band of warriors to reach the southwest forest.]

>Story of my patrons lives.
>>19817716Apparently food is scarce.MinesASeat of Kri'KlaAOr do we want to improve something else?
>>19817716B for both. We have some fancy burrows and a treasure room, but that wont stop goblins from overrunning our walls again.Also, with better structural developments our miners would probably become more efficient, making the potential trade of Iron with humans possible.
>>19817753But dat scarcity of food man.
rolled 29 = 29>>19817730i agree, maybe we could find some sort of fungus that we can grow in the burrows for sustenance during the winter
>>19817820What do we eat for food now?
[A][A]Due to the sudden influx in villagers the food stocks were quickly depleted. The high priest orders both the mining colony and the capital to search for food. One of the villagers finds a strange purple toad near the coast of the lake, when he cooks it up and eats it he experiences hallucinations and what he describes as 'Spirit visions'.The exploration party has made it to the edge of the forest.[ENTER ADVENTURE MODE?]
>>19817884Sure.
>>19817884>giving us hallucinogens instead of actual food.Hardmode they tell me.
Anaxes and his men enter the forest, they can feel a strange and forboding presence in the air. The forest is thick and hard to navigate, natural paths twist and turn wildly like rollercoaster. After six hours of journeying they come across what looks like some sort of primitive town. A wooden gate and a stockade surround the town, but there are voices that can be heard from within, mainly grunts. Manly grunts.What does Anaxes do?
>>19817947Hail and ask who owns this land.
>>19817884let's do itAlso>spirit journeysAWWWW YEAH LET'S START TALKING TO THE GODS.

>>19817947>manly gruntsnot the most subtle approach, but I suspect it is humans.
I have a question before we proceed. Is there a common tounge? Or are we going to sound like a bunch of lizards to the humans?
>Do you guy's want different languages in the world? There'll probably be a language barrier.
>>19818032>Hivemind
>>19818033I THOUGHT THIS WAS HARD MODE.
have anaxes knock on the door with his spear and jangle a coin purse at any onlookers. Money is a universal language.
>>19818038>>19818033Fuck you guys, I want to be able to speak with them.
>>19818038It is...but... if we have language barrier we will never get anywhere with trade etc
>>19818066There's hard, and then there is bullshitHave them cast translator spells on us after a moment of gibberish or something.
don't worry, guys, if they don't speak our superior nahuatl talk, just give them the universal gesture for peace: a gyration of the hips accompanied by two extended middle fingers and the sound you make when taking a tough shit.
>>19818108My sides.
>>19818108well played sir.
Captain Anaxes assures his men that he was trained in diplomacy by the high priest before he left the capital. He stands up and walks up to the wooden gate, as does his warriors. A sentry standing on the wall notices him and readies his bow, Anaxes raises his iron shield to block it, but the sentry doesn't fire, infact he lowers his bow. The sentry is a tall gruff looking man with brown hair, he isn't completely shaved and has some stubble around his chin. He's wearing would could only be assumed to be leather armor, he wields a curved sword of some type and the afformentioned bow."Who are you, who owns these lands?" Anaxes hails the guard. The guard just stares blankly back at him. "Damn it all, they don't know a lick of the lizard folk language." It wasn't all that surprising, as the lizard folk tounge was a complex language. The guard turns around and yells out some unknown words, and soon after the gates are opened. Anaxes and his kin walk slowly through the camp, Inside the town is a bunch of broken down huts, men and women are talking and eating, being merry. But when they catch wind of the lizardmen they go silent, and watch. The lizardmen continue onwards through the camp.One of the guards starts guiding them, to where is unknown. After a few minutes of walking they reach a big shack on a small slope, they go inside. The inside of the shack is carpeted with some sort of soft red material. In the back a strong-looking man sits on a red pillow, two beautiful women at his side. Infront of him is a small circular table that is close to the ground, a wooden plate of what appears to be meat, and a cup of water. The guard stands in the corner, watching the lizardmen.This appears to be the leader of the tribe.What does Anaxes do?
>>19818137Nod and smile politely.Say hello, perhaps.Act friendly.show a very small amount of gold, and mime a trade.
>>19818137Obviously, introductions are in order. Say hello with a raising of the hand to show that we have no weapon ready and do not intend to murder them. After this has set in and hopefully this man understands, Anaxes should indicate himself and state his name, then pull out two gold coins and rub them together.
rolled 52 = 52>>19818137be polite and introduce yourself and were you come from, not sure how this is gonna work what with the lack of communication and all
Anaxes sits down infront of the table and motions for his companions to wait outside, this seems to put the man at ease. Anaxes raises his hand and says hello in the lizard language, which in human comes out as "WARHGABHL." Tiny specks of spit hit the leaders face as Anaxes talks. He remains still. Anaxes takes out two gold pieces from his bag and rubs them together, in the process he accidentally crushes the mddles of them, his superior lizard strength was too much for the soft metal. He puts the coins back into his bag. The human leader leans forward and stares at Anaxes intently.What does Anaxes do?
>>19818214Stare back.
>>19818214well fuckmime a call a lizard back in an mime a trade.>>19818233 Ignore this idiot.

rolled 86 = 86>>19818302we can't be a race of forever virgins, its unmanly and if a lizard talking sweet nothings to a man is not the worst thing i could have suggested
Anaxes stares back at the man for a long while. And then out of the blue he starts laughing heartily, Anaxes is understandably confused. He talks to the woman on his left and points to the side entrance that leads to another room. The woman comes back with a huge worn out old tome. The leader sets it on the table and starts flipping through it. After a few minutes of him mumbling he finally says something that the Lizardmen can understand. "What want you?" Even if it is horribly broken.
>forever a virgin
>>19818364Oh thank god.Trade, say trade.
>>19818364Told you guys. Tell him we want to trade him the gold coins and what they have to trade.
rolled 23 = 23>>19818364yea, lets ask if he is willing to trade
>>19818364I can't even remember why we came to this place.
>>19818364Let's do this the civ 5 way! First, let's pour out the bag of coins and tell them that we're giving it to them as a gift, then right afterwards demand that they give us the book of magic and all of their women, if they refuse flip the table and call them faggots, then ask them what they think about the goblins, then declare war on them.
"Trade." Anaxes replied, briefly afterwards the man started flipping through the pages of the book again, muttering the word quietly. Finally after another three minutes he finds it. He cracks a smile and starts flipping through the book again...A few minutes later and this really starting to wear thin on Anaxes."We have...Strong metal, bite animals, health drink, hurt tools, fire rock. Buy?" The man finally speaks.What do you want to trade?
>>19818467Let's ask them about these hurt tools and fire rocks. Maybe a demonstration should be in order.
>>19818467yeahask about the fire rockssimpleyou show fire rock?

Ask about the fire rocks, sayfire rocks, we buy, you show?
>>19818507I think he means food.
>>19818514Oh, I was thinking more like war hounds or wolves or hunting dogs or something
"You show us hurt tools and fire rocks?" Anaxes asks the leader. He flips through his book some more and nods. He leads you out to one of the fires and takes out one of the hot black rocks from the fire with some tongs. He shows it to you and sets it back down, flips through his book and says, "Burn good, make heat."He then guides you to what you presume is the armory. Inside is a bunch of different weapons, swords, bows with excellent craftsmanship, arrows, maces, spears, galives, and axes. The weapons are similar to the ones made in the capital, but the metal is much whiter and purer.What does Anaxes do?
>>19818525Slaughter him and run away with handfulls of weapons. No not really. Perhaps ask how they were made? Information on smelting metals better, plans for forging the weapons and buy a few of each?
>>19818537this is crude translation, we don't have such subtleties.pull out your weapon. slowly mind you, and then compare the twoask how he makes the metal white show him gold
>>19818549Yeah I figured we couldnt be that exact, was just trying to get the idea across clearly for the OP.
rolled 84 = 84>>19818537take some fire rock back to town back to town for study, also could we do the thing we americunts did to the indians were we take there young and teach them our language so as to better communicate?
>>19818549>>19818537Guys the "strong metal" was something he already told us about. Just tell him we want to trade for that shit.Also the coals (which is what I'm assuming they are) would be useful considering we're cold-blooded.
>>19818556Agreeing with this actually
>>19818556yeahthe strong metal is steelwe want steel.I say we buy whole boatload of coal and then depart as friends.we really should inquire into steelmaking though.
Anaxes unsheathes his sword and compared it to the one in the armory, he then turns to the chieftan, "Teach us how to make strong steel?" The chieftan shakes his head, "Don't know how. Mountain people know how. We buy from mountain people." Anaxes ponders this thought, of course, the sentry was clearly using iron weapons, and noone around here had shiny weapons, could they just be keeping these around as stock to trade? "How much for fire rock?" Anaxes asks the chieftan. He ponders the thought for a moment, flipping the pages in his book. "Five zero yellow metal for single bag?" He asks if that's acceptable.What does Anaxes do?
>>19818637How much do we have?
>>19818637Why not? Maybe even give him a little extra as an added bonus for not being a dickbag and fighting us.
>>19818646Gold, that is.

Alright, we have 300 gold.Ask how much the steel swords are.

>>19818760Thats actually pretty good. I feel much less ripped off
Anaxes haggles with the man and he gives fairly easily, he agrees to sell five bags to you for 30 gold a peice. The expedition now has 150 gold left. Anaxes asks if there are more camps like this, he replies by telling you their capital is far down south past the blood marshes. Anaxes then asks him where he can find the mountain people, and he stays quiet for a few moments before roughly saying 'You DON'T find the mountain people. The mountain people find YOU.'Anaxes asks the chieftan how much a single sword costs, he asks for fifty gold if Anaxes and his party stay the night and drink health drink with him. He then clarifies that he usually sells the swords for 100 gold, as they are very powerful weapons.What does Anaxes do?
>>19818803Fuck staying the night, they will poison us or something.reject the sword offer, give him a gift of 20 gold pieces and leave.We do not know their true intentions.
>>19818821I too am a bit wary of staying the night. They have been good to us so far but if the chance arises could just kill us all in our sleep and take back everything they sold us plus our own gold and equipment. Say that we cannot stay the night and that 50 gold is more than we can afford (because to be honest thats a fucking rip off). Act sadly about this.
>>19818841I agree.

>>19819164keep a bag for the winter.BC
>>19819170Mines: B I suppose, may as well improve the living conditions of some of our hardest workers.Town: D, find some way of using the coal to help improve our current tech. e.g. creating controlled fire pits in a special room of the burrows with pipes or small tunnels directing the heat throughout the warren so we are warm all year round when inside?
>>19819213Oh and as >>19819175 said, keep some coal spare in case we need it.
>>19819213Ventilation.
I want to connect our mine with our village via underground network. Shit would be so cash.
>>19819253That would be a pretty good long term goal. Still voting for the heating ventilation system for now though
>>19819253I think that we should investigate in heating, For starters we should have a heated room so that a small number of lizards can stay awake during winter to tend beasts of burden. We also need to figure out some way to hide the smoke, unless we want unwelcome guests.
>>19819294On second thoughts, we could use warmblooded animals to help keeping the lizards warm. I think people kept livestock and other animals in their homes to better keep the heat.
>>19819294Perhaps a series of small but very long tunnels spanning out in every direction from the very centre of the heating room so as to collect the smoke (as it will rise upwards) and spreading the smoke out thin. Basically the tunnels would come up to the surface in multiple places in each direction. This should allow for very little smoke and from no on obvious direction
>>19819318Although the main problem I see with this is the potential for losing heat. Then again if we don't get rid of the smoke somehow we are equally fucked.Captcha: minasess holles. Yes captcha, miniture holes
>>19819331If we start out at a small scale we should be fine. But we need to develope a proper fireplace with a chimney. Carbonmonoxide is dangerous!
Lizardmen die if they are kept awake through the hibernation season.Not entirely sure why, I think they freeze to deathIt is hardmode, after all.
>>19819374Also, we should start experimenting with this after winter. We might need a while to figure out everything and stock up on coal.

Mine:BSeat:Experiment with heating
Dragon Tail Mines:[B]Being such hard workers they were, the high priest commisioned better living quarters for the miners there. Workers from the capital traveled to the mines and made their living spaces much more cozy. Adding fur leathers to the walls and one on the floor for sleeping, they also made small tables that hovered close to the floor, inspired by the Uutlans design.Seat of Kri'kla:[D]Other than strengthening the weapons made at the forge, the coals were soon known to be a good fuel source for fires, and by proxy, heat. The lizardmen built a crude metal box resembling a furnace, next they created iron pipes and connected them to the furnace, they had the pipes spread cross each room and tunnel, small holes were carved so that heat could escape the pipes. Once it was finished, however, heat wasn't the only thing that escaped the pipes. Thick clouds of smoke flooded the tunnels, making it impossible to breathe. Thankfully nobody was killed in the accident. The worker lizards had no idea what to do, they had no clear way to ventilate the smoke other than building pipes up to the surface, but in order to do that they would have to dig giant holes all the way to the warrens, something that would take months of hard work...Workers at the dragon tail mines report sighting of huge birds high in skies, circling the steppes and then returning to the dragon tail mountains._________________Giant BirdsA1: Try to shoot it down.B1: Try to follow it up the mountain.C1: Do nothing.D1: Your choice.

>>19819436D1, post regular watchmen for the birds, I do not want any attacks.>>19819440CD
Lizardmen generally die if they are kept awake during hibernation. If they are heated they won't die, but they'll pass out about a month into winter no matter what you do. And when they push themselves like that it shaves years off their life, and gives them bad breath and wrinkles.
>>19819436D1. >>19819451 agreeing with this. If the birds attack retreat to the mouth of the mine and form up in a spear wall.Mines: CSeat: D continue work on the heating project, improve the ventilation so that the smoke is safely removed from the tunnels without months of effort if possible.>>19819474Thanks for the info, for future reference if we need some people awake during winter (which I think we should do anyway for safety once we have the place heated) they should do so in rotation. Each set of lizardmen should be on gaurd/whatever for no more than a week at a time.Just to clarify, if one set of lizardmen is put on gaurd duty for a week in the middle of winter will they pass out right away anyway or will they manage to stay awake for their month? Seems like a silly question but I want to understand the semantics of the situation entirely.
>>19819507You can't wake up from hibernation bro.
>>19819474Hmm, this means that we should abandon all heating plans at this stage.
>>19819517Least, not until the winter is over.
>>19819507I think this is solid, we need that smoke gone.
>>19819517Shit really? Well.....fuck. I think we may have wasted some time... although I suppose we could sell the plans to someone else eventually. Damn it.
>>19819474What we should do is set up a lockdown for our warrens. Yeah I know that winters are insane and it'd be crazy if something attacked us in our sleep during winter in the first place, but better safe than sorry.
>>19819534Since the heating plan is fucked I agree with this.
>>19819534Maybe it would be better to build a hibernation base in the mine. We could leave a small group of lizards at the city, and when they have given us the all clear signal we would move back with the main group?

Dragontail Mines:[C]Large axes and hammers were unwieldly and unfit for combat, they were unbalanced and didn't even inflict as much damage as needed. Smithys began to create schematics for new, more versatile axes and hammers. This was the birth of the hand axe and the warhammer. The axes were best for chopping limbs off and cutting into armor, while the hammer was best at pummeling the enemy into tiny bits, they were truly grisly tools of death...Seat of Kri'kla:[B]>D wouldn't do anything, if you want to try to find a way to ventilate smoke then B would be the right choice.Continuing their efforts to ventilate the smoke the worker lizards scheme non stop. Eventually they come up with a feasible schematic. They would build long metal pipes that connected to the main smoke pipes, these pipes would run all the way up the side of the building, hugging the walls closely. It would end at the 2nd floor of each house, where a chimney would be located. In a matter of days they created the network. With the pipes hugging the walls the workers could easily dig out the required space and connect the pipes. Now the only problem was that smoke was rising at a constant rate, and faint clouds of smoke and soot were held high above the town. But at least now the lizard folk would be warm and cozy in their homes.[D1]Watchmen armed with spears and bows are stationed around the dragontail mine in an attempt to thwart any bird attacks...Every few days a giant bird, which now appears to be an eagle, circles the mine...

>>19820092We weren't the ones that magicked up a plot to avoid getting goblinstomped.
>>19820051>>19820055Mines: B. Could we possibly build some sort of shelter with spikes affixed to the top of it over the open area of the mine outpost? Would this cause a problem with lack of heat and sunlight for the lizardmen?Seat: B. Begin work on extra security for the burrows during winter. Create a series of heavy blastdoors or safedoor type constructs that need to be rolled into place by the lizardmen. These will serve as protection against invaders and could be used to funnel any intruders in ambush area's. Have them totally block off sections of the tunnel system when in place but able to be rolled into a carved out section of the wall when not in use.I just realised how difficult it would be to get these underground. To make this easier, have them brought down in halves or quarters and have the black mortar applied to them to put together each full blast door once underground. Cover the side facing outwards in mortar as well to hide the fact that its not a truely solid object.
>>19820142Include a few watch posts on the edges of the mining outpost to keep an eye out for the birds if this shelter goes up. We still need to see whats coming.
I've got a few ideas to strengthen the colony, but it's probably better that I wait until after the update. Yes?
>>19820181You may as well share your ideas. If mine suck and everyone likes yours (or another persons) then we'll go with that. Your ideas are as valid as mine

>>19820199If you finish this by having the demon sword come back and stomp us I will be very disappointed in you.Brilliant GMing, by the way. [spoiler]Is that what it is called[/spoiler]
Alright, this is basically a mega-project, but should be able to be completed by winter. I'm working on ideas to improve our defense. This is somewhat involved, so I'm making an image and whatnot. Probably take me about 15 minutes.
Dragontail Mines:[D]The miners in dragontail have often experimented with ways of transporting ore from the cave to the stock piles, but due to the twists, turns, and changes in elevation within the cave they haven't been able to properly create a transportation system. On one such experiment they created a decent sized wago and attached wheels to the sides via iron spike and hammer. They knew that the cart had to be guided somehow, but they couldn't find a feasible solution.Seat of Kri'kla:[B]Small thin walls of wood and buckets of black mortar are carried down to the warrens, the walls of wood were thickly coated with the mortar and left to dry, what was created was a thick and heavy barrier that only the might of lizardmen could move. The workers carve out sections of the walls to store the barriers. The workers still aren't sure how to use wheels efficiently. The 'blast doors' are little more than thick and heavy barriers that are placed at every junction in case the lizardmen need to contain a certain area or quarantine a certain tunnel.The giant eagle kidnapped one of our watchmen today, the speed of the beast was amazing, even the watchmens arrows were too slow to hit the beast..._____________Death From AboveA1: Station more guards.B1: Have the watchmen keep a lookout from cover.C1: Carry on.D1: Your choice.

>>19820379B1>>19820382DC. Focus on somekind of large scale siege equipment, a catapult or something? I think we have the tech for it, if we don't then just go increase weaponry via regular means.
>>19820258Looking forward to seeing your plans.>>19820379Death from above: b1Mines: Same idea as before, create a spiked shelter for the village/outpost with watchposts on the edges to protect against flying enemies.Seat: Not sure yet, waiting to see what The Mad Fellow has in mind.
Our numbers are small. Very small. If we are attacked again, we will surely perish. How then, do we compensate? Our walls and gate helped little during the last siege. They simply weren't enough. Static defenses are our only hope. Here are my ideas to improve our defenses (it's two posts):A) We need a double wall system. Constantinople and whatnot. If we can't hold them at the first wall, the second will surely stop them. After the first wall is breached, we can create a kill zone between the two walls.B) We need dedicated archer towers. Much taller than the walls. With crenelations and roofs to protect from enemy missile fire. I was thinking about situating these between the sets of walls. That way they can fire at attackers on the outside and fire at their backs as they assault the second set of walls. The only access to the towers should be a set of tunnels from the inside of the camp. That would ensure they can't be stormed.
C) The wooden gate was the weakness. It should be fine for the outer wall, but we need an iron gate for the inside. Make that shit out of metal. They shouldn't be able to burn or cut it down with axes. They'll have to go over the walls if they want to get in.D) We will need more manpower to complete this project. Hire some of the humans to work on the project. Additionally, consider hiring some of them to act as guards during the winter months so we aren't completely defenseless.E) To take full advantage of the towers, we should work on making ballistas. They would be devastating up there. We have the wood, we have the sinew, we have the iron. How does that sound?Welp, there they are. That's my Mad defense project. Thoughts? And yes, I know my map was super shitty and a ripoff. Fuck you.
>>19820428I am liking this idea so far for the next turn.>>19820446Ok awesome. I agree
Obviously this is a multi-month project, but I think it can be done by winter. I think it will leave us in a much more secure position. By next year we might have enough lizards to have an actual military. Right now, we can't afford any losses.
>>19820470I like it.I vote we engage all available hand to this task.
>>19820470I agree its a huge improvement on what we currently have. I'd say it's worth the time spent.You still need to vote on the mines and death from above to get the quest moving though

Dragontail Mines:>Finishing unfinished tech first.[D]After many weeks of work the miners find that they can put the cart on rails to guide it, so they start creating iron rails. They build sturdy ramps over and under elevations, and within a couple days they finish. Productivity skyrockets.Seat of Kri'kla:[B]The construction of an outer wall begins, it'll take about a month in total to complete.[B1]The watchmen are now taking refuge under proper cover, the giant eagle has seemed to lost interest and wandered deeper into the steppes.Food levels are dropping low, the crop fields are too small and all the space within the walls has been used. A new farm needs to be made outside the walls.

Quick question do we have cast iron or wrought iron? Cast iron right? Because with Iron and coal \ charcoal we can make our own steel. If we have cast iron what we would need to do is we heat the iron and in some form remove carbon from it this can be done by blowing oxygen into the molten iron which means we would have to make some fan object to get enough oxygen.
