Fire magic. We're going to need to be able to keep warm against undead in the north, and it will help us kill shit with the rats too.

And in the end we can get magma elementals which just sounds awesome. Also fire can lead to boiling blood for bloodlust power increases.

Also, good to see the thread back. I was looking forward to this.

As your Orcish workers labor away at the Lake Town, constructing a system of trenches, bunkers, and watch towers around the lake, Mister Pickaxes comes screaming out of his tent, holding a flask of some dubious looking red/orange liquid.
Thrusting the flask into the arms of a random worker, he urges them to drink it...Trusting the words of the High Seer, the Orc goes ahead and does so.
Within seconds his eyes take on a furious red glow and he lets out a primal scream, taking the shovel he had in hand and smashing away at a pile of rocks.

B. But with an emphasis on more than just fire arrows. We need to develop any way to fight with fire against the undead.

>>29466659
Doubly important because if I remember correctly, they have trolls, too.

Remembering the "liquid fire" the Halflings mentioned before, several of your more courageous Orcs request a few jars of the substance to experiment with.
After burning down a few tents and earning a few nasty burns, they manage to adapt the substance so that it takes a bit of time to burst into flames, allowing archers to dip arrows into pots of the stuff.

Random undead, trolls mixed in with unknown leader/leaders/

You decide that it may be best to deal with the Skavens before the way with the Undead reaches full swing, and send a band of 20 standard Orcs along with a Berserker and an Earth Seer to meet with the Lizards.

Upon arrival at their ramshackle collection of wooden swamp huts, the Lizards inform you that the Skavens have been seen in clearings near the jungle city, chanting and performing some manner of rituals.
One Lizard offers the suggestion to try ambushing them while they are in the middle of a ritual, saying it is a good way to catch them off guard and score some easy kills.
Another says that this might not be a good idea, because who knows what our warriors might be interrupting...

>>29467150

If you feel like reading, the past couple of threads are archived. Basically, all the info we got was from the humans, who were vague at best. We know the undead have at minimum, a couple of dozen humans that they turned, as well as some trolls. Of course, for them to turn the humans in the first place, they probably already had superior numbers. The horde couple number in the hundreds. As for the leaders, we know nothing about them.

Rolled 68

>>29467253
Maybe we should have the ones who made the earth elementals see if what they are doing sounds similar.

>>29467253

Let's gather up as many lizard warrior followers as we can, then interrupt the ritual. Best not let them finish it, if it's some kind of nefarious plot. We can use the momentum from that to kill more skaven if we are sucessful.

>>29467357
The lizards told us that the skaven specialise in necromancy and plague magic. Considering our poor racial affinity for magic, and our dedication to earth magic, it seems unlikely that we'll know anything at all about it. Skaven are much more advanced magi than orcs.

>>29467442
If we can see how many magi they bring to the rituals or who is in charge it could make an ambush alot easier

>>29467253

Let's see if we can observe one in action then decide if we want to crash their party, or go raid their village. With fire arrows, even a few passing shots on their wooden defenses should be enough to cause damage before we attack in earnest.

The warband decides to send a few scouts to spy on the Skavens before doing anything else, hoping to discern the exact nature of these rituals.
They spend a day or two patrolling near the Skaven's stolen city, doing a fine job remaining hidden, and sometime during the second night are rewarded for their efforts.

In a clearing they spot a group of Skaven, ten of them, holding bizarre metal "torches" that emit a sickly green light..They are all standing in a circle around a black stone alter, where what seems to be a cross between a mage and a high priest chants and gestures, holding a ritualistic knife over what seems to be an Elven prisoner.
As a side note, the scouting band consists of 6 Orcs.

And if we can save him, those faggot elves might stop shooting us once we reach the forest.

He'll put a good word in for us and stuff.

Since allowing a group of rat necromancers/plague pages to finish some dark ritual is probably a bad idea, your Orcs target various members of the group and fire away.

The first volley, with two Orcs targeting the high priest, manage to take down four of the rat bastards right when the priest is about to bring the knife down, for dramatic effect.
The bodies and magical torches fall to the ground as the remain rats glance around in a slight panic, but unfortunately for them the second volley comes, taking out three more of them and injuring another.

The sight of so many dead rats excite your Orcs, who put their bows away and charge into the clearing, axes at the ready to do so chopping.
The remaining rats are caught completely off guard, and lacking any weapons on them asides from small daggers don't put up much of a fight at all as your warriors butcher them like pigs.

Once the deed is done the Orcs begin to secure the area, tying up the injured Rat and gagging his mouth.
Meanwhile the Elf, who seems to be a young female, remains chained to the altar.

The Orc attempts to communicate the the frightened Elf, speaking in calm and soothing tones to try and get her to relax...It seems to have some effect, that or she is simply realizing that the group isn't about to kill her and gangbang the body.

So with some hesitation she explains that she comes from a small Elven outpost on the far western edge of the jungle, and that the Skavens had taken it by surprise and captured a number of her people.

We knocked off the scrub priest.

>>29469787
We're already doing it to help the lizards. If we eradicate the skaven, we'll have great relations with the lizards and be able to enlist their help.

Gagging the Skaven again and making sure his bonds are nice and tight, the group lets the Elf take some time to clean herself up and get ready before setting forth to the west, to see if they can meet with the outpost she spoke of.

The group travels for half a day, they hear a voice ring out from the jungle trees.

The party proceeds to return to the Lizards with the Skaven prisoner in tow, but not before learning from the Elves that the Skaven's leader is a powerful Necromancer and Plague mage who by some means or another has made himself immortal.
They also send 5 Elven Rangers to accompany you.

Back with the Lizards, you tell them everything that has happened. The Lizards then tell you that they have finished gathering up their warriors and hunters, for a total of 50 battle ready soldiers.

With that information in hand you put into motion the first part of the plan, having the Rangers sneak in close to the walls and coating a small section of it with the fire liquid.
They are successful for the most part, reaching the base of the wall while avoiding the eyes of those walking along the ramparts, and soon the section catches fire quickly begins to spread.

The Skaven Necromancers scattered amongst the Undead lob large globs of death and disease towards them, striking down a modest number of Lizards, but the Elves return the favor by snipering some of the dark mages.

The Lizards soon clash with the undead, tearing them apart with their viciously sharp blades, and your Orcs provide support with their flaming arrows, which prove especially effective against the Undead.

Rolled 60

>>29473070
We leave 2 Skaven alive, and they'll come back at us later. We kill them all.

B. Let nothing escape.

And say, is that Pyramid flammable?

>>29473070
B. Caution is the best way to success. Secure the buildings and get the archers to assault the pyramid. Soften them up before the main assault.

>>29473070
I feel B would be the smart choice but I'm wary of the great lord pulling off some magic while we spend time ouside

>>29473152
The buildings inside of the outer walls are all made from stone, since the Lizards built with that material before they were driven off. So no, the pyramid isn't very flammable.

>>29473173
You have a point, but rushing in wouldn't solve much either I should think.

Instead of simply rushing in, your forces seize the area around the pyramid and advance at a steady pace, trapping the remaining rats and ensuring that none escape.
A band of Skaven, around 30, hover just outside of the pyramid's main entrance. Armed with crude iron spears and axes, adorned with glowing green runes, they wait as your forces approach.

A. Rain arrows on them.
B. Have the foot soldiers charge in.
C. Harass them with your mounted warriors.
D. Other.

>>29473383
They know we have bows, so they know we would fire arrows...

D. Hold until we know their game.

>>29473383
I dont like the look of those runes. Best keep our distance, yes? A, give em hell!

Rolled 26

>>29473496
you're right.

Disregard >>29473495

Taking a safer approach, you send your Orcish riders out to fire volleys at the Skavens, riding back when they come too close and repeating the process.
They take out a third of the rats before they grow pissed off, chasing after the riders with their weapons in hand.

A. Fall back while firing arrows behind, ambush them with Lizards.
B. Turn around and charge at the fuckers.
C. Other

Rolled 73

>>29473496
I agree. Pelt them with arrows from our horses, keep everyone else farther back.

Don't hold. We shouldn't let them make their moves any more than we already have.

>>29473636
A. Classic tacit

Rolled 25

>>29473636
A) I like ambushes.

>>29473636
A. Ambushes seem good :D

Your mounted archers continue to fire arrows at the rats as they fall back, enraging them even further.
Then as they are drawn away from the pyramid Lizard footmen come out of nearby buildings and tear into the rats...Finishing them off, but with some nasty casualties. Seems that those runes cause wounds they inflict to fester and rot within moments.

A. Storm the pyramid.
B. Maintain the circle and wait.
C. Other.

K I'll take a name. My only post was we dub goofed.

Deciding not to wait around and let whatever is happening happen, you send a band of Lizards and Orcs into the pyramid. Upon entering they will see that the walls are covered with green runes, that some to pulse in sync with the rumblings of the building.
Not wasting any time, they continue to charge through the halls towards the center of the great building, where all the remain Skaven have gathered around their great leader, a grey and very old looking Skaven adorned with skulls and bones.

He waves a long bone staff, topped with a black diamond around as he chants and gestures, the entire room glowing with a sickly green light as the pyramid continues to shake and rumble.

A. Charge at them rats.

Your Orcs fire a volley of flaming arrows at the chanting Leader, some of which fall short and hit some of his followers, but several arrows slam into him and set his hair ablaze...But he simply laughs and yells.

>"You fools, all the death you have caused and the time you've given me as allowed me to finish the spell! Now after being trapped in that weak little body for so long, I will finally awaken!

Then after saying that his remaining followers will fall to the ground, the very life being sucked out of them...And the Leader's body will begin to twist and distort, his skeleton ripping itself from his body as it changes into something...Larger...And draconic...

Rolled 70

>>29474900
Oh, balls.

Have our Earthseer seal the temple. Try to contain it. Then charge the thing.

>>29474900
Well waiting outside was really a bad call. Maybe and earth elemental can fuckhis shit up? Lets hit it hard while inside. Send for everyone outside to come in, and for the earth seer to build us an elemental

>>29475038
Our elementals are confined to our base.

I don't think he can extend their range to here.

>>29475036
I like your call of sealing the temple

>>29475036
Containment seems the best policy. Are our Earthseers capable of that?

>>29475081
We have a seer with us, he can maybe raise one

The band makes a swift decision, ordering a single Orc to run back and tell the others what is going on inside the pyramid. Then with that done, they all charge at the skeletal dragon, attempting to delay it while the others come up with a plan.

Lizard and Orc alike fight valiantly, in a way that is remembered in songs and legends, however armed with simple and mostly mundane weapons they won't last for too long...

A. Call on the Earth Seer to try and seal the pyramid
B. Rush more men in for backup.
C. Other.

>>29475241

>>29475036
fuck yeah, you can't do shit once you're sealed inside.

>>29475241
A. Seal it off. Have the bards write a song in memory of those brave warriors trapped inside.

>>29475294
10 lizards and 5 orcs entered the pyramid and we have 20 more lizards, 18 more orcs, and 4 elves to call on.

>>29475241
A. seal the thing we don't want to loose half of our horde.

Rolled 24

>>29475357
Okay. I vote we send everyone in, and have the seer seal the entrance behind us.

>>29475241
Throw everything against it.
What if it raises local dead from inside. We must crush it under our own corpses

Rolled 44

>>29475474
>>29475444
fuck that, it will just give it more power.
We need to contain it now, and throw away the key.

Your Earth Seer sits down on the ground, focus and concentrating on the stone of the pyramid and the earth beneath it.
...Several long moments pass as the warriors inside finally fall to the bone dragon, but the earth around the massive stone building begins to rumble and crack, gradually increasing in intensity...

The great pyramid begins to SINK into the earth, slowly at first but quickly gaining speed, before all that is left is a large hole in the ground, which then in turn is sealed away by a large "plug" of hard black stone.

Unfortunately the effort on drawing on the power of the earth for such a great feat has drained the life and energy of the Earth Seer, turning him into an empthy grey husk that falls apart into a pile of fine powder.

>-1 Earth Seer, -4 Male Orcs, -1 female

>>29475692
...

Victory!

>>29475692

Well that went better than expected.

>>29475692
We could have killed that shit. 10 years from no he''ll dig his way out to slap our shit

>>29475692
Welp, he'll probably be back later. Big 'ole underground immortal bone dragon? Yeah.

Anyways, call the remaining lizardfolk together, and send an emissary to the elves. It's time we inform them of the bigger threat.

>>29475820

Rolled 79

>>29475843
I agree, let's call in those favors move on to the next problem.

as side note we should get some bards to immortalize this battle, perhaps convince Mr. Pickaxe to indoctrinate the story into the religion to ensure the horde is ready for the day the dragon returns.

>>29475945

>>29475945
Smart thinking Jughog. Maybe even a holiday? Or is that going too far?

>>29475968
A breeding celebration, perhaps.

>>29475945
Let's invite the Lizards to move up north with us, too. I'd caution them against living on top of a dragon.

>>29475982
Well call it "Fuckday" or something clever like that.

>>29475982
>national fuckfest to celebrate out brother's sacrificis
I like it

While in the end victory was costly, especially for the Lizardmen, the Skaven's have been completely wiped out and their "Leader" is sealed away underground...And one can hope that he will remain that way for a long time.

The Lizardmen announce that they rebuild the pyramid, and work towards developing runes and seals to help keep the dragon sealed, and leave to go gather their people so they can move back into their now reclaimed city.

The Elf Rangers head back to where they came as well, agreeing to take an Orc along with them to serve as an emissary. They also promise to speak with the cousins in the western forests, to try and prevent further deaths between your two peoples,..

...And of course, as promised before the Lizardmen allow you to take home a healthy portion of the treasure and loot found in the city, granting your people a sizable horde of gold, gems, and jewelry.

>>29476052
With the death of an earth seer we need to train up some more magic. We can't be left without these guys when they can do stuff that will save our asses like that.

Needs more fire

>>29476131
Especially considering how effective fire was against the undead.

>>29476159
I said it at the start of the thread and I'll say it again. We need fire and earth magic/shamanism. Magma Elementals would have destroyed that dragon.

Your people all agree that it was a wise decision in the end to assist the Lizardmen with their Skaven problem, as having an undead dragon coming from the south might have spelled an end to the Confederacy after things went full swing.

So with that threat taken care of, all that is left is to prepare for the battle against the northern undead...

(And with that I think I'll call it a night, if someone could archive the thread and post the link I would greatly appreciate it.)

>>29476180
Too bad Orcs are, in general, shit at magic.

That'll take a while, when MORE DAKKA might be just as effective.

>>29476180
I can see wisdom in this. Magic and archers seems like a good combo, especially with Orcs being naturally good infantry, so we dont need to buff that up that much. Also, we need to breed more. A lot more.

>>29476219
>>29476225
With shitty magic they just need to embrace shamanism. It will totally work.

Also, it'd be nice to take more than just treasure with us from the Lizardmen. Do they have any unique technologies/magics they can share? Something intangible like that would make it worthwhile.

You're welcome everyone, as for when I'll be able to host again I'm thinking this Wednesday. Probably starting sometime in the afternoon like this time.
