Lets do this!

You are a plague-monk, a great Lowbishop of your infernal order, who worship the great horned rat. You command many skaven, most of them dumb-meat slaves who are worth less than the meat they are made of. But there are some who are smarter. You command two hundred clanrats in addition to several hundred teeming slaves. Leading these clanrats is the treacherous (what skaven is not treacherous? A foolish one) lesser warlord who has joined your retinue to curry favor with the horned rat. His name is Clawnsnatch and likes to get closer to his foes than most other skaven would find sane. You also have a handful of eshin assassins sneaking about, though you don't know where they are and can't command them directly. Finally, five mighty rat-ogres serve you personally, freshly purchased from the beastmasters of Skavenblight.


What is your name Lowbishop, and where does your infernal band reside?

>>26179475
Lowbishop, obviously. Idiot no-think.

Of RotTree.

>>26179369
Location: Swamp
Tribe Name: Fang Gnasher
Plague Monk Name: Detritus Rotfang

>>26179532
Storyteller is tired of waiting. Your title is your name! You forsook your old-dirty name when you killed your master and became the next Lowbishop of Rotree. Where is Rotree little-clever pups? Is it below the roots of an elven tree? Is it beneath a human city-place? Or perhaps somewhere else, somewhere more savage and dirty

Tell-tell this one and he shall make it so

>>26179541
Sounds goos

>>26179541
Ah, it seems we have someone else now-here. This one like this, but needs more. Must decide, cannot force anything other than swift death if you are dumb-stupid

>>26179562
Old book-palace. Is not..Is not Rot-Tree, is rot-tree, like book-write, idiot no-think.

>>26179562
Wait could we be in an under city? The ruins of a old city catacombs mostly underneath a human city?

>>26179613
Sure, sounds good to me. Squeekskritch, can we change my vote to this?

Location: Sewer
Tribe Name: Fang Gnasher
Plague Monk Name: Detritus Rotfang

>>26179634
Err, I meant undercity catacombs, not sewer. My bad.

>>26179645
Right i understand it all sounds good to me. I would expect that humans dump their waste into our city anyway.

NO MORE WAIT-TALK! You are The Lowbishop of Rottree, so named because you were born in Rottree, not because you live in Rottree.


You live in an old, abandoned libarary, far below a human city. This place was once elven city-place. Then it became dwarven city-place. Now it is human city-place, and human-meat think it founded city! Dumb humans, they do not even scurry and scrabble underground like proper folk.

Elven layer is all yours. Has many-lots mushrooms growing around in big farms. Skaven slaves eat mushrooms, and catch rats. Sometimes skaven steal food from surface, but that is dangerous and hard to do. You don't always need to eat, being a plague-monk. The Great Horned Rat has blessed you with immunity to many mortal concerns, such as hunger, disease, poison and most injury. However, you must beware, for holy magics can harm you gravely, and proximity to divine areas such as temples weakens your powers. In fact, that is why you are here, to destroy a group of paladins that is founding a new chapterhouse in the city above.

However, before you can proceeded to destroy chapterhouse-place, you must deal with the dwarven layer. It has many other things that are not skaven, like mutants, goblins and even a troll or two. You could sneak past, but it will be dangerous and you will lose slaves. What will you do Lowbishop?

this one realised it must list actions available and statistics. This one will hurrry scurry while you decision-makers talk-plan

>>26179645
We should cultivate a plague the less we actually fight the better.

Choose three actions.
>A: Hunt/Gather/scavenge (Rats, mushrooms, human-food, lost metal-things, wood)
>B: Worship (The Horned Rat)
>C: Scout (Dwarven layer, surface)
>D: Research/produce, via slaves or you (Magic, tech, crazy skaven things)
>E: Train (Melee, Ranged, Other)
>F: War (specify who/how/where)
>G: Diplomacy (specify who/how/where)
>H: Other

>Fang Gnashers
>The Lowbishop, Blessed of the Horned Rat, Master of Mutagenics and Pastor of Plagues
>Lesser Warlord: Clawsnatch. Disloyal, agressive, strong for a skaven
>Assassins: Unknown number. Location unknown
>Population: 469 skaven (three hundred slaves (light infantry/workers), 120 clanrats (medium infantry), five rat-ogres (monsters), forty blood-claws (heavy infantry)
>Magic known by Lowbishop: Plague touch, slime spawn, turn-to-blessed, maligance
>Skaven tech: Medieval
>Resources: Mushrooms, rats, slaves
>Food: Limited , average if the slaves are also on the menu

>>26179834
Your plagues cannot hurt the paladins. They are protected by their false-god. You must find another way.

>>26179845
The humans may be subskaven beasts, but they do have a point with their paladins

We should make our own slimy-stink paladins, for the glory of the Horned Rat!

>>26179845

A:Scavenge lost metal things
C: scout the dwarven layer
D: the lowbishop of rottree trains in magic

>>26179886
Let's worship the Horned Rat and see what happens.

>>26179845
B. Worship
E. Train (Magic)
A. Scavenge for 'shrooms

>>26179886
It is difficult to do that. Only one in ten-thousand skaven can survive the training to become a plague-monk, let alone wield significant powers of the Horned-Rat. However, the thought tickles you, as having more physicaly inclined servants for the Horned Rat to aid you does sound appealing. And they'd be loyal too, as no skaven outside the plague-order is.

Do you wish this? It can be started, but will take time. What else do you wish, great Lowbishop?

Current decisions are
>Train in your plague-magiks

Competing for two more spots are
>Scavenge food
>scavenge metal
>Worship
>scouting dwarf layer

What do skaven-blood?

>>26179845
Hold a tournament amongst your warriors to find the fittest, toughest, and vilest skaven in your domain. Then train him as a great general.

>>26179945
DO NOT ASK-QUESTION ME, LOW-LOWBISHOP SQUEKSKRITCH

>>26179845

>A: Hunt for food

>C: scout around our immediate area we dont want a nasty surprise

>H: look for ways to infuse our chosen with the Horned rats blessings.

>>26179975
>scavange food
>scavenge metal things

>>26180006
You already know who that is. It is Clawsnatch. He is a lesser warlord, from a small clan. He hopes aiding you will bring his clan prestige and power, but you don't think he's going so far as to be "your" general, nor would he be willing to become a "paladin" for you.

Still, this idea has merit. It could give you canidates to make your "anti-paladins"


DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE!

>Train magics
>Scavenge food
>Scavenge metal

UPDATE WILL COME SOON-SOON!

we breed pretty well. we should get our numbers up a bit more, get more food, then venture onto dwarfmeat level

You retreat to your lair, a slimy, moist place where sewage from above runs down into the catacombs. Sipping some fine mush that is made from rotted dwarf-meat and some human alcohol-drink, you pour over your innumerable tomes, and discover a new spell. It grants some of the blessing of the horned rat over other skaven, protecting them from harm with pustules, bone growths and gives their bites, scratches and weapons poison. You like this, yes-yes. Is very good. But it does not last long. Only twenty minutes. Not enough for a full battle. This is because you have just found this "Blasted Blessing" More training will extend its length and increase its strength

Your slaves find many-many food things and metal bits. Your clanrats, well, Clawnsnatchs clanrats, now each have at least a dagger, and many have rusting swords, axes and spears. You also have a small pile of other metal things left over. They are too soft-weak to be used as weapons or armor, but they are yellow and shiny bright. Other races like this right?

Choose three actions.
>A: Hunt/Gather/scavenge (Rats, mushrooms, human-food, lost metal-things, wood)
>B: Worship (The Horned Rat)
>C: Scout (Dwarven layer, surface)
>D: Research/produce, via slaves or you (Magic, tech, crazy skaven things)
>E: Train (Melee, Ranged, Other)

>B: Worship (The Horned Rat)
Always the Worship Of The Great Horned Rat, always!

>C: Scout (Dwarven layer, surface)
Scout the surface, make the human-man things fight each other. Find the Paladin-mans enemy and kill one of them with Clawsnatch and his assassins secretly and skaven-like.

>G: Diplomacy (specify who/how/where)
Other Skavenholds, Rotree demands tribute from other smaller skavenholds before they demand tribute from us!

>>26180167
>a: scavange more lost shiny metal things

area

>C: Scout for immediate threats

>>26180167
D: Research
E: Train
Perhaps tell the warriors of the upcoming tournament (If we go with that) it will definitely cause them to train their hardest. For Glory!

>>26180167
B: lets get some worshop in
C: scout the dwarven layer. We need to know what is there and plan accordingly
D: more magic=better magic

>>26180220
Never for glory, only for The Great Horned Rat!

Only actions with more than one vote currently are scouting and training. Decide on one other thing skavenmeat! (Tip: If tasks are passive and don't require the Lowbishop directly, it might be possible to take a fourth action)

>>26180261
breeeeeeeeddddd more soldiers for The Great Horned Rat!

>>26180261
The Horned Rat is fickle and ever back-changing, no worship will make all the bad tidings fall on everything we do.

>>26180261
I could get behind breeding

>>26180283
Fine i second worship.

>>26180233
I only seek glory to further the influence of The Great Horned Rat! Soon all the lesser races shall bow to his might!

>>26180282
And this group will become our anti-paladins. They must be bred according to ritual, dedicated from conception to the Great Horned Rat!

THEY SHALL BE OUR GREATEST WARRIORS. AND THEY SHALL KNOW NO FEAR

>>26180261
Breeding takes three turns. Two for gestation, one for pups growing up to be actually useful slaves.

By the way, one turn is ten days

You have chosen BREEDING!

UPDATE IS WORKING

>>26180294
whos going to get infront?

>>26180340
not so bad, considering these bitches should be having litters

You convince Clawsnatch to hold a tournament. Clanrats will practice with new weapons. Top ten clanrats will have the chance to be "blessed" by you. They are pleased to be blessed, but the Blasted Blessing does not last long, but lasted longer than you had expected. You think it was the devotion and strong bodies of these skaven, for it lasted fifty minutes!

Scouts explore dwarf layer, find five groups of goblins, some human squatters, and a dead dwarf. Your scouts eat the dwafs remains, and return, telling you there is a great war in the dwarf layer. A troll has taken control of one of the goblin gangs, and is calling itself "The Next Big Papa" and is trying to conquer the rest of the layer.

Your slaves breed furiously, and soon fifty females are pregnant. They will give birth in two turns, and their children ready one turn after that.

>>26180340
Our doom-bell is rolling death-knells through the Under-Empire! One in every thirteen of the skavenslaves should be sacrificed to the Great Horned One!

>Tip: You may be able to turn some clanrats into your anti-paladins, but Clawsnatch won't let you have his valuable blood-claws. Unless you find a way to get them anyways

lel

>>26180414
So guys we really need to poison the troll.

>>26180414
do we get one pup per pregnant female or a litter or pups. If its a litter, how many in a litter?

>>26180459
Clawsnatch only remains alive because we demand it.

The most devout of the clanrats, Bloodclaws included, shall step forward and volunteer.

>>26180459

>A: Gather ALL of the poison in our immediate area

>D: Develop a acursed ritual to make the Blasted Blessing last for ever

>B: Worship the horned rat

>>26180459
>A: gather food
>B: worship The Great Horned Rat for many large littlers to be born
>Research: fire? do we have fire?

>>26180471
trolls hard to poisen, we must burns it!

>>26180492
Squekskritch realized it is stupid and this one is right. NINETY PUPS will be born from only fifteen females! Yes-yes. And they will be ready for more breeding immediately after they give birth. This can be a passive action if you want, but it will massively strain your food supply over time

>>26180459
Diplomacy, provoke a war between the Humans-above and the dwarfs-below! The next dead-man or dead-dwarf be placed in the home of the other, with the dead of the home around him!

Worship!
The Horned Rat must be appeased or Rotree will fall!

Other
Tribute from other Skavenholds in the Under-Empire!

>>26180523
We could sneak into a Human home slaughter all of them then plant evidence that suggests that the goblins did it.

>>26180501
You needs purchase technology, not need research. You could get warp-jezzails (muskets that fire magic bullets) if you so wish. But will be expensive. Many other things available, but all expensive.
>>26180511
This one is right. Hard to poison rock-meat troll

>>26180498
This a dangerous action, will gain you the ire of Clawsnatchs clan.

Only decision with three votes is Worship. That is good, it might help with making those paladins. True anti-paladins will take several threads. Will be hard. Might be useful

>>26180567
This! But not until the Horned Rat has been appeased!

>>26180596
>>26180567
>>26180523
You manage to locate an eshin assassin, and tell them to kill someone important, rob their house, and make it look like stupid-trap goblin-meat did it. The assassin is happy to serve, but it costs you some warp-tokens. You now have Four hundred warp-tokens. This will be added to your resource statistics

>>26180573
cant learn fire? need purchase fire? we have yellow shinies, can we's purchase fire from goblin meat upstairs? sneaky sneaky like?
>A: we need more food with pups on way

>>26180459
>B: Worship

>>26180625
THIS IS FINAL VOTE. WE NOW HAVE THREE FOR WORSHIP, THREE FOR MAKE HUMANS FIGHT GOBLINS, AND SCAVENGE FOOD

UPDATE INCOMING. May be last of night. This one is tired, but is glad this has started. Will start more of these after every troll civ ends. And every other day 2:00 PM central

>>26180653
yey :D.

You lead all the skaven in worship of the horned rat, and in doing so you feel your powers grow temporarily. You cast Blasted Blessing on the ten champions, though most of the effects recede, they retain some small bone growths that protect them, and their drool is now slightly poisonous, and if slathered on their blades may be very dangerous. They now call themselves the Squalid Slayers.

The Eshin do their work excellently. The humans retaliate for the death of an important merchant, and kill three goblins groups. However, one of the two remaning groups is that of the troll, and he has absorbed the other tribe. Goblins are stronger than skaven, though not by much.

You scavenge much food, and it will be enough for a while, even with more skaven on the way. Once dwarf layer is secure, you could maybe make farm.

That's it. I'm very tired and need a break. What say you all to meet back in forty-five minutes for another half hour of work? That is all the time I have tonight

>>26180745
Sure.

This one returns! It has consumed sustenance of cereal and cow juice as no other foods are available


What do you wish to do skavenmeat? You could find a way to deal with the troll, try to just claim enough of dwarf-level to secure passage to surface, work on your magic, work on your new Squalid Slayers, or something else

>Tip: Rat-ogres might be useful against the troll, but he is a big and old guy, so he might be able to take down two or three rat-ogres before going down. Rat-ogres are expensive, and not cowardly or treacherous.

>>26181079
Can we learn some type of acid or fire magic?

>>26181079
Take a human weapon murder a goblin serving under the troll with the weapon in secret leave the weapon in the goblin. Also frame the goblins for another human killing.

>>26181155
Warp-fire? That is the realm of the grey seers. It would anger all of the grey-seers if you tried using warp-fire. Acid, that might be possible. But pursuing that will delay developing your new squalid slayers. What will you do clever-rats?

>>26181185
This is possible, but may attract permanent human presence in the catacombs. Maybe even the paladins. You are not eager to face the paladins directly in battle. You, like any good skaven, would prefer your enemy die without you having to raise a single claw, let alone be in danger.

>>26180745

Train our units, strong skavens will be needed in the future, i know this. That's why, make half of the Skaven to train while the other half go and gather some food.

If we have enough action points, lets praise the Horned rat

The squalid slayers, can wait they have had enough attention recently

Acid magic
Blame the murder of a goblin on humans
lets train some assassins

>>26181279

Practice magic that turns human waste into acid

Praise the horned rat

Add small amounts of poison to all the food the Skaven eat not enough to kill them just enough to influence them.

Develop a wicked ritual to make the Blasted Blessing last forever.

>>26181379
Poisoning all skaven is terrible idea. Will only make them angry. And you must choose between acid and blasted blessing research.

>>26181313
You cannot train assassins. That is the special domain of Clan Eshin. If you were to try to cut them out of any such sneaky things, they would be angry. Angry enough to send someone that not even your plague-magics can stop.

>>26181293
Clanrats are a bit rusty. Perhaps Clawsnatch could be provoked into training them some more? They hardly seem much better than your own personal mass of slaves

Current votes are
> Acid magic (2)
>Train (1)
>Scavenge (1)
>Blasted blessing (1)
>Worship (2)
>Frame the goblins for murder again and frame humans for murder (2)

YOU HAVE ONE MINUTE TO CHANGE MINDS SKAVENMEAT. AFTER THAT, IF NO CHANGE, WE ACID WORSHIP AND FRAME FOR MURDER

TIME IS UP. WRITING UPDATE. One more udpate after this. Then this one must sleep

This one would appreciate archival of this thread

>>26181455
I choose blessing and scavenge then.

>>26181079
Train the Squalid Slayers

>>26181527
Tell me what tags you want on it besides Collective game separate them with commas.

>>26181550
Too late slow-meat. Slow skaven are dead skaven


Returning to your lair, you pour over more tomes, deciding that Blasted Blessing can wait. Your Squalid Slayers take position outside your little alcove, completely loyal to you now. Clawsnatch no like that. In your research you learn of acid magic. You remember practicing that once, when you had to fight on the front lines for your old master, the old Lowbishop. With ease you recall it, and now have another spell in your repetoir. Of course, your memory was helped greatly by leading another bout of worship of the Horned Rat.

The eshin assassins strike again, and now all the goblins and the troll are dead, slain by humans, but the humans have taken steps to secure some of the dwarf layer. forty men regularly patrol the northwestern quarter, keeping that area locked down. It is also the place that has easiest access to the surface. If you controlled that area, you would be able to make use of your rat-ogres and deploy your force more quickly if you wished for a direct attack on the surface. It will also be difficult to set up mushroom farms if you wish to remain completely beneath the notice of the humans.

The slaves have been born. They will be ready to fight and work next turn
