Yeah. I know. But I was just clarifying for dumb people.

Anatomically incorrect drows.
They're the best.

Duergar! YES! I cancel my earlier vote for Illithids for this instead.

Oh well, might as well try the Illithids atelast they aren't going to be too hard on OP's creativity.

I am changing my vote from Myconids to Duergar.

Only if we stick to the stereotype, but we can stray. With Illithids, we can't do anything but dominate people and eat their brains.

Your home was now far behind you. The clan of Darktooth at your side as your home was lost to the ages. You hold the bases of your people's old weaponry in your hands.

Old Black iron weapons and tools from the lands beyound and the hogpog of old armor. Those smiths who made them have nothing to build more with. But still keep their knowlage of their craft.

They set up in a cave in the wall of a large cliff near a huge rushing river and towering stone pillars.

A small group of the short men of the underdark explore their area. No light but the natural dark-sight could see the river nearby. They follow the river north to find a mouth of a cave. As they explored more they hear different shuffling and scraping.

They go back home. Telling the others of the possiblities.

grotto

As the dwarves go explore the upper parts of the cavern's tunnels they find a large cavern at the top with a large flowing spring in it going into another bit of tunnels. Setting up stock here, they can find a good amount of limestone and other materials to build the basics of their homes.

>>22075214
I think we need to make out homes more safe before we go to get weapons. The best offense is a good defense. With a city wall we'll be able to hide from the various creatures of the dark. Also instead of leaving the grotto I say we start digging back into the cave instead, search the caves near to see if any have materials we can use.

They work on using the rest of the stone in the small settlement dug from the walls of the cave and go to work making two small walls near the enterance.

A group of warriors and elders collect in a large cave nestled above all the other hole-homes. They list the ten deurgar as the 'The Grotto Ten' in the nod to their home.

As the dwarves explored more of the caves near the grotto, they find a large amount of naturally growing shrooms. They bring them back and they start eating them instead of the little bit of fungus and insects from before.

The men go out again to the river and find more tracks. As they follow them away they find large scrapings and they hear a growling bit behind them.

The duarger surround it and offer the beast food from their pack. It growls weakly snatching the food and devoring it. It's dirty yellow teeth putting out a distinct stench. It growls and paws the ground a bit.

The beast is near dead and the Duerger bring him to the outer caves. Piling bits of food to the creature. After a few days...it seems a bit better and it's dark bloody wounds are slowly closing.

It reacts badly and speaks broken Duergar, with words like 'Pain' 'Saviors' and finally while looking out the cave mouth pointing at the river 'Danger'.

Shaping the ores with the very stones around them was hard. They make the basics of a small forge near the spring.

attempt to communicate more with the beast

>>22076417
I'm going to kind of clarify something.
In the underdark...the most you have is glowing Moss. Very little fire or other such things.

Thus many of the creatures see 'heat' as a secondary form of sight.

Food for thought...

>>22076477
We give off heat anyway, glowing weapons will make them think we are bigger than we are, and thus more dangerous. If anything this is a good thing.

As you meet with the strange bear creature he shows that he has healed relatively well. It's dark brown fur was getting a little fuller but it was still matted with blood.

The creature still wore it's cracked helm made of a skull and two shining bits of metal circled it's wrists.

"Save me. You did. Yup." It said in Deepspeech. "You have Claw help. Help claw give. Claw get strong. Help tiny."

You leave the cave to go to the place with the hairy creatures. Claw sees you going and tags along. One of the dwarves, who thought himself a badass' tried to jump on his back. But was flipped onto his head by Claw.

As they explored they found a lone hairy creature and were able to herd it back to the caves. They killed it outside and brought it's meat in. They it's pretty damn tasty.

My twitter for more such Civ. Might do a more Surface or Animal Civ tomorrow. Animal as in...Animals get super smart. Wolf pack becomes awakened or gryphons or some shit.

Vote below what you want tomorrow and follow me on twitter for news of it on the morrow!

(will finish up this last bit and get to voting for the next Civ. As I'll swap between the two.)

The dwarves go out to the stone pillars. They go top to bottom of the great caves they call home and find little about them. Digging a bit into them they find gemstones and bring them back. Very small rubies is all they've got.

Any suggestions before I finally go to bed from this to mull some strange ideas?

>>22077610
How about Animal Civ? That sounds the most interesting, just as long as it doesn't turn furry

>>22077767
It wouldn't.
Ideas I have for that are...
Bears who become smart.
Wolves.
Big Cats.
Or something like that.

Any suggestions for species?
