“Basubla...”

“Yes, keeper?”

“I'm bloody well aware of all of this! I was there you overweight demon!” You grab your blob shaped mentor and toss him in to the river next to your makeshift camp. But whether you like it or not he does have a point. Your on the edge of known territory at the moment with your remaining troops. There are some lands not to far away that your imps have scouted out that could possibly be a good places to start anew.

>One land is filled with gold and gems but with few portals, not to forget the large outpost of heroes that are also mining the land. If the outpost discovers you, you will have to ether kill them all before they send word to the queen or flee once more. A hefty task indeed with such a low number of minions.

>The other land will force us to fight other fleeing keepers or perhaps have them join us, of course trust is a hard earned thing among keeper, even in the best of times. It's also a land with decent resources and portals, enough to share if one is not to greedy. There might even be lost minions there, that got separated from their keepers. They would join up with you if they can be located.

>The last land is safest, but there isn't much easily worked stone or resources there and you will have to plan your rooms well to maximise the area, its not a place for a keeper who enjoys symmetry. It is also one of the oldest places and one that keepers rarely enter, who knows what treasures we might find here?

This guy has a point. We have nothing to build traps or doors, and no imps to dig, carry and mine.

>>24490150
well, i have no idea of how to play this game, but i want to see the world burn. remove 3 dark elves and add 2 goblins and 16 imps

>>24490095
>>24490102
So:
Name: Rojam Enacra
Major Skill: Magic and the Arcane
Minor skill: Building and mining

I'm ok with this.

>>24490206
Basically, warlocks research magic, trolls and bile demons build traps, fortifications and doors, and imps do all the grunt work.

So we really want some of each.

>>24490231
no. the name is Rojam Enacra. AKA major arcane
captcha:neither ionPee
what the fuck?

>>24490206
Here's how it goes, to give you a list.

Bile Demon Cost: Big, fat, slow, heavy hitter, can work in a workshop building traps and such.

Black Knight Cost: Brutal close combat killing machine.

Dark Angel Cost: Brutal close combat killing machine that also summons skeletons and throws around magic.

Dark Elf Cost: Ranged combatant, good for guard duty.

Dark Mistress Cost: Glass cannon with offensive magic, can run the torture chamber to convert captive enemies.

FireFly Cost: Fragile but fast scouts.

Goblin Cost: Basic (and kind of crap), cheap melee unit.

Imp Cost: Workers.

Rogue Cost: Sneaky scout and decent (but not great) combatant.

Salamander Cost: tough fighter who can move through lava and has some ranged combat abilities thanks to its spit.

Skeleton Cost: mindless combatant, immune to fear effects.

Troll Cost: not particularly great melee fighter, but the best for building things in the workshop.

Vampire Cost: melee combatant which can summon skeletons, and returns from the dead when killed, as long as it wasn't killed by something holy.

Warlock Cost: spellcaster, fragile ranged combatant and arcane researcher.

>>24490325
If we have the ability to make unholy temples having skeletons worship in them around the clock is like free mana. and makes any mana heavy scheme viable.

>>24490397
Unholy Temples cost a ton, probably best to stock up on some gold before we start thinking about that.

You are Rojam Enacra, a keeper with great potential for magic and all things related to the dark arts, you also have a knack for traps, construction and general understanding on the importance of room designed, something your minions respect you for.

Speaking of minions, your small band consists currently of three dark elf's, triplets infact. One dangerous and very seductive dark mistress, five rather sluggish salamanders (there slow untill you throw them in to some lava), two warlocks who constantly fuss over their tomes and scrolls, two goblins that won't stop competing against each other and a small horde of imps.

You also have your mentor, Basubla a very overweight impish demon, with a bad habit to monologue everything. He is at least knowledgeable of many things that you still need to learn so it pays to have him around. At the moment he's trying to get up from the river, but his heavy frame is quite a hindrance.

You stand and look around, it's time to keep moving but where?

You have the land full of riches but with danger at your door step.

There is also the land filled with other keepers, ripe for conflict and intrigue.

But you could also go further away from Hermonia to the place where few keepers have bin, migh be a rewarding choice.

>>24490457

>>24490438
We don't have any bile demons to build traps, so lets go to option 3 in order to build up our forces.

>>24490438
other keepers. let's go there.

>>24490430
true but they are good and it is an upfront cost. Also we only need 1 5*5 temple all the others should be effectively 3*3 we can break them up with treasury in the middle if need be to stop pools forming and wasting worship space. and the skeleton temples can be locked behind secret doors as skeletons need no food or pay.

>>24490438
I'm kind of curious about the further away land which may have interesting rewards. That's my vote.

>>24490469
Oh we can change our minions? Then if we use >>24490457 we could go to either land 1 or 2, I believe we could handle them easily.

>>24490526
this

>>24490457

would like one skeleton instead of two of the Level 1 imps, just to ensure the Prison is unlocked.
Should be unlocked due to Torture chamber, but you never know...


voting for the Gold-A-Plenty land. between the Prison and the Torture Chambers, we shall have a good supply of skeletons and turn-coats to bolster our ranks.

I will throw an extra vote for the far land, just to avoid a tie vote.

It takes it's time to make it to the far land, there's much bedrock that your imps cant work, but eventually you find a piece of land that will work as a location for taking the form of a dungeon heart. Of course you could just stay in your humanoid form (how it looks is up to you guys), it has some advantages to the heart form, easier to move around and its more personal giving your minions a moral boost. But in comparison it has very little health and you can't collect that much mana. As a heart you get a steady mana flow and your “aware” of everything that happens on your land. But you can't move, defend your self and its quite impersonal to your minions.

Crunch time keeper, we will be using a turn based system to track time, during each turn you can do twothings before a new turn starts, this does not include commanding your minions to do things, build or mine, only thing that you specificity do like work at a forge or study in the library, after four turns comes the dreaded pay day. Thankfully your minions have agreed not to demand pay for the first pay day.

Also every turn there's a random even determined by a 1d100, you want to roll high keeper.

When you as a keeper do some thing the outcome will be determent by a 1d100, aiming high, for Battle, war, schema and plot i will look at the first 3 rolls, for building and mining i will look at the 5 first and for anything revolving magic the 6 first rolls.

I will also be using a map to track your dungeon, if this doesn't work then I will need to come up with something else, but for now it will do.

The Imps need to get to work digging out some of that gold and earth before we can really do anything, we need to find some decent locations to place rooms.

What spells do we have access to?

GOLD! dig up the gold.

>>24491162
how long dose it take to shift from heart to humanoid and back? Dose ether transformation cost mama or gold and do imps feed on mana like DK2 or need pay and food like DK1

>>24491216
yes mine the gold first
we need a scrying spell.
and a list of spells and rooms known

>>24491162
I suggest we dig those locations first.

>>24491216
Summon imps and lighting, but you need a library first

The Rooms available to you at this moment.
Prison, Workshop, Torture chamber, lair, hatchery, library. More can be research or found keeper also don't be afraid to ask your mentor for advise if you feel you need it.

>>24491308
First we need to dig out a bit to see if those areas are all earth rather than bedrock. We need to do some tunnelling.

>>24491308
walls are not thin they are at leas 1 square thick.

>>24491311
can we Invent a spell to fill in open corridors with workable stone?

>>24491334
yes prioritizing the gold

>>24491279
Around one hour and cost noting but time. keeping imps alive will only be a problem if you have more than 30 of them.

Is bedrock hard/slow to dig or completely impossible to dig like in the games?

>>24491311
>Torture chamber
yes. kin kysheet need to gest shit done, also, build a library

>>24491375
am i to take that to mean that imps don't even drain mana like DK2 or that we can keep 30 up before we cant pay there spell upkeep?

also>>24491394

>>24491311
Will the mentor occasionally also complain about our dungeon being damp and needing central heating?
Also, in DK2 you got a bit more initial vision over the surrounding lands iirc. But yeah, do >>24491308 plus dig out all the initial gold.

>>24491334
>>24491308
>First we need to dig out a bit to see if those areas are all earth rather than bedrock

Well, that was what I was suggesting, clear out all the normal stone blocks in those areas to see what we have available.

>>24491474
>>24491498
we will want walls around the heart though that plan leaves none.

>>24491519
>we will want walls around the heart though that plan leaves none.

what

I'm pretty sure that only the locations marked in black should be mined.

>>24491519
In general I never really saw the need if you have rooms around the dungeon heart. Simply put, if they get to the DH, you already went horribly wrong long before that.

>>24491373
yes, but it will most certainly take a lot of time.

>>24491394
Your imps will need better tools to do that or it will take for ever. They currently have crappy iron tools.

>>24491443
you can keep a total of 30 imps before i say it will matter in a mechanical way

Sorry that its taking a while, I'm forced to use ms paint for the map. might need to rethink the map part

>>24491569
At least with all this bedrock we're less likely to suffer from surprise-dwarves.

You should first create the map and then reveal it piece by piece kinda like pic related.

That's a great system imo. And a good idea for the map.

>>24491559
walls are one square thick that mines right next to the heart.

>>24491569
I liked using secret doors around my heart to hide it.

>>24491743
I do not think you can make walls in bedrock.

>>24491762
Have you tried?

>>24491773
>implying I remember what I did 13 years ago

>>24491762
bedrock is a wall and what i mean is workable stone walls around at least our heart with only secret doors so we can have a hidden heart.

>>24491594
how long is a turn?

>>24491859
durp i miss-read the map objections withdrawn I agree to >>24491308

>>24491813
Well then, lets try making doors out of bedrock.

Turn: 1

Keeper your imps dig diligently and your coffins swell with gold (6000 total), unfortunately most of your minions are getting rather restless. Thankfully you have more space now so you and the others don't have to suffer from Bulk and Skull farting contest.

Your mentor also suggest that you should now use your new land to build a lair and hatchery, something your quite aware of, so you lock him in to one of the many chests, you occasionally hear him mumble something about central heating and marbles.

>>24491960
As per >>24491308 layout: south room hatchery, east lair.

>>24491971
Ouch, you weren't kidding about this land being bad for symmetrical rooms.

Let's build the hatchery to the west and the lair to the north. We can dig out that gold to the east and maybe stick a library there if we have enough space.

>>24491594
>Can we mind bedrock
>Your imps will need better tools to do that or it will take for ever. They currently have crappy iron tools.
Alright, good to know. Can we refill a mined out spot or is to empty forever?

>>24491971
Ok so, from now on have imps auto mine gold that is reachable. As long as gold is reachable, mine it.

>>24491983
hatcherys need to be 3*3 minimum to work IIRC but a lair is good at 1*1 also we need a 3*3 library and workshop asap

If you look, we basically have a 3x3 room to the east. 3x3 to the north, and 3x3-1 to the north-east.

Since lair does not need to be symmetrical it can get the 3x3-1 area to the NE, with 3x3 N being hatchery. That leave us with a workable 3x3 top the east.

Until next time i will have a smaller and fully fixed map to speed things up.

>>24492034
we can invent a spell to fill empty space in later but it will be work.

>>24492707
Excellent, I suggest they start working on it ASAP.

>>24492707

Also, build a library on the 3x3 to the south. Is >>24492174 correct in asserting we need a spell to refill a dug out area?

Bulk and skull starts to improve the pickaxes for your imps, unfortunately they don't have the schematics for secret doors, right now they have only normal doors and spiked floor traps. you could have them test and research new build able objects for your dungeon.

>>24492769
You can just order your firefly or any minion in fact,firefly being the fastest and most effective, but sometimes you might want to visit a location your self. Some places will only react if a keeper is nearby in humanoid form.

Attached is map, black square is location for library. Pink is things to dig out for imps. Naturally they wont be able to dig out bedrock until we finish improved picks.

Your Firefly returns rather quickly, he reports that the portal appears to be similar to the one he crawled out of, except that instead of blue crystals theres well carved stone with intricate symbols and creatures on it. He also smelled the stench of sulfur in the air. A much more pleasant stench than what Skull and Bulk makes, he points out. It lacked the bravery however to fly down in to the hole and take a closer look.

>>24493043
did we just find a DK1 portal? I think we just found a DK1 portal

>>24493043
You are such a cunt Firefly. Slap him for being such a coward and sent him back in.

Whose minion list did we end up using?
I was going to suggest sending a skeleton down but I don't know if we ended up getting one.

>>24493043
can we manifest? lets go there and help that guy out he seams cool as fuck.

>>24493043
Based on what I remember from the games.

Prison, Holds enemies or our own creatures they will starve if left there without being fed manually starved creatures will occasionally turn into skeletons, as opposed to just dead bodies. Minimum size 3 each non-edge space adds 1 to the capacity.

Workshopused to build traps and doors minimum size 3 can hold 3 uninstalled mechanisms per 3*3

Torture chamber used to convert enemy creatures a mistress of pain makes it much more effective. Minimum size 3*1 with a wall or 3*3 without

Lair provides 1 bed per square

Hatchery minimum size 3*3 provides chickens each 3*3 area adds another coop speeding production and each square adds to the chicken capacity.

Library minimum size 3*3 can hold 1 artifact per 3*3 and allows spell research.

Is all this accurate?

>>24493085

>4 Level 3 Imps
>4 Level 1 Imps
>1 skeleton
>1 Fireflies
>2 Bile Demons - Bulk and Skull.
>2 level 3 Warlocks - Saruman and Sauron
>1 Dark Mistress - kin kysheet

>>24493085
Since we have bulk and skull, we used this one >>24490457

>>24493085
I think >>24490457

>>24493094
yup. but i cant remember if creatures occupied all the squares of a lair in DK2. I know they don't in DK1 though.

>>24493085
Good, point since undead are immune to fear they should be fine! Sent a skeleton, but do >>24493073 also. Firefly's job is scouting he is gonna do that whether he likes it or not.

>>24493094
yes, you can also check the Wiki if you wish. http://dungeonkeeper.wikia.com/wiki/Dungeon_Keeper_Wiki

>>24493085
>>24493089
>>24493073

So, go there your self, send the skeleton or slap your cowardly fly and kick him back in to the sulfur pit?

>>24493094
Don't forget that if you keep heroes alive in the prison (with food or the heal spell) they will join you like a minion.

Skeleton

>>24493147
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

>>24493147
Visit ourself, we'll be fine.

Why not both?

>>24493157
I thought you had to use a torture chamber to do that.

>>24493147
do it our self

You find that somethings you must do your self, as always but you decide that you want some initiative from your minions, even if he's only meant to act as a scout, so you force him to stay in the workshop with Bulk and Skull while your lonely skeleton guards him. The sound of terror and powerful farts echoes down your dungeon and your quite certain that Kin Kysheet has passed out with glee over the fly's gassy faith.

The portal is just like the fly told, large stone pillars emerge from the cold stone floor embedding them self in the ceiling. The decorations on the pillars are very exquisite, carved with steady hand and care, you might mistake it for dwarven work but they would never carve dragons and other monstrosity's in to their o so sacred stones, at least not while there getting eaten. As you and your mentor walk closer you pick up the faint spell of sulfur and something else.

The ground starts to quake and dust descends from the pillars and you hear a low but powerful growl emanating from the portals dept.

>what do you do? (Also say if you have any minions with you, the bile demons are preoccupation by there work)

>>24493479
I suggest We take Saruman for some magic healing if things get tough.

>>24493479
Wake up you lazy git, we have some conquering to do.

>>24493479
What can kin kysheet do? IIRC, she is a glass cannon, right? Then send her, and one warlock (with healing magic) to the portal, to see what happend

>>24493605
>>24493578
We have already traveled through the portal.

Grabbing a warlock and the Mistress seems solid though.

>>24493641

>>24493578
was my suggested action, we've encountered something in the portal, so yell at it.

>>24493605
she shots lightning and has a high damage melee attack she also converts prisoners better than any other minion. and uses the torture chamber not casinos for recreation.

>>24493507
>>24493578
>>24493605

You walk up to the edge of the portal and with a strong and decisive voice shout.

"Wake up minion a keeper calls you!"

The growl grows increases in pitch and the ground continues to shake more violently. Kin Kysheet stands besides you trying to look intimidating, as intimidating as some one in very reviling spandex can and Saruman takes a few steps back ready to aid with magical support. Your mentor is no where to be seen, not that hes made for combat being the size of chicken.

You watch the dark hole in the portal as four pairs of blood red eyes starts rise from the darkness. The minion that emerges from the darkness is unlike anything you have seen or read about before. it's almost to large to slither up from the portal. The easiest way to describe it is as a large snake but with human head with six red eyes, no nose and no cheeks, giving you a front view of its fang filled maw.

You stand there having a staring contest with this new beast as it slowly slithers towards you.

It slowly hisses out "Keeper...."

>Your response keeper?

>>24493685
Wait, did we already built the torture chamber? If not, we should build now

>>24493818
"That's correct Minion, I am a Keeper.

What is your name and race?"

>>24493818
The nameless Keeper has fallen, and the Keepers are being pressed ever further back, join me, and we will turn the tides bringing horror untold to that damnable queen.

"That's right, I'm the keeper here and you have the glorious pleasure of being my new minion"
Or some such wording.

>>24493868
>>24493877
Sounds good.

>>24493855
not yer it needs a solid 3*1 on a wall or 3*3 on a floor

>>24493868
third

>>24493893
"That's correct Minion, I am your Keeper and you have the glorious pleasure of being my new minion. And i plan to succeed where the nameless Keeper failed, I will turn the tides and bringing horror untold to that damnable queen of Hermonia!"

The beast looks somewhat puzzled at you and nods.

"If your the keeper that holds domain over my pit then i will ssserve, i do not how ever know who thisss nameless keeper is nor this queen of Hermonia."

"What manner of race are you minion and do you have a name?"

"I'm of the Sarcchi, the primal serpents. Beasts of great strength and powerful magic. A minion does not need a name Keeper, but if you would grant me one then i would be honor to bear it in your name, yesss. Is there any other questions master?"

>>24493818
>four pairs of blood red eyes, six red eyes. need to read my text one more time before posting. it has a total of 6 eyes.

>>24494106
"Your name in my service shall be Drache.

What more can you tell me of this portal and what I can summon from it? I have not seen its like before."

>>24494106
You say powerful magic, care to elaborate? What sort of magic are we talking about here?

>>24494106
>>24494195
I'm interested in knowing what kind of magic he specializes in as well.

"Your name in my service shall be Drache."

"Then that is the name i shall carry on my scalesss, master"

"What more can you tell me of this portal and what I can summon from it? I have not seen its like before."

"Our portals are different than the normal minionsss, each Sarcchi portal is both the place to call us and also to house us, only one of use can be broth forth from them.

"What of your magic skills? You say they are quite potent."

"Sarcchi control the power of fear and can instill or remove it from your minions or foes, we are also mastersss of poison and can spew forth a cloud of it that paralyzes or melts your foes."

"Anything else my Master?"

>>24494378
How are your dancing skills?

>>24494378
Can his poison be used to safely melt stone and allow for faster excavation?

>>24494400
"Quite poor, unless you like cave ins"

>>24494425
"Unless the wall is made of flesh then no master"

I think that's everything.

Back to building and mining as per >>24493017

>>24494451
Is he good at researching?

>>24494451
"This place has been abandoned for ages, we are trying to collect as much wealth and power we can to crush our enemies. Do you remember this area? Knowing the location of more portals or treasure will speed up our conquest. "

I think i need stop here, I'm about to fall asleep on the keyboard. Until next time I'm going to try to get the dungeon building system to be faster and type faster.

If some one could archive this, then that would be fantastic.

Feel free to post criticism or things that you would like to see in the future.

- Keeper out!

>>24494592
Nice man. This looks like a great quest in the making. One thing that would be incredibly useful too is a list of fees for pay day per type of creature, and perhaps also training fees per turn.
Shame I couldn't be here for most of the time, but I really enjoyed myself.

>>24494592
I archived the thread, remember to vote it up.

>>24494592
Nice for a first thread. Using a well-known setting with a twist feels pretty much guarantees many interested readers and a lot of praise if you maintain at least mediocre quality. This is neither good nor bad but you should be aware of it. Keeping someone interested in something they already like is not that much an accomplishment. Speed was acceptable, creativity not yet noticeable enough to judge (though the core idea of having DK2 and DK1 meet in this way is decent).

It is a promising beginning but I will withhold further judgement until a few threads in.

If people here are interested in dungeon keeper stories I can recommend Dungeon Keeper Ami. It's a really well-made Dungeon Keeper - Sailor Moon crossfic.

>>24494887
Hmm, thanks for reminding me, I really should get on with that. I started reading it twice now, but due to circumstances never finished. It really is good.

>>24494592
Btw, kinda wondering, you going to (try to) stick to some kind of schedule? When can we expect a next thread?

I'm not sure I feel about you starting a quest around a beloved pre-existing setting then instantly adding your own original monster race to it, but whatever, I'll give it a few more threads before I make a decision.
