You currently have your two lieutenants Zo'rok and Dru'ak, your two mates Sho'ka and K'zala, the ogress coven, five of your biggest clanmates, and ten veteran hunters of the Rockbrutes, all decked out in the best chainmail and steel weapons you have in your stockpile. You now also have the 50 combat-ready Stormhowlers, including the mighty former chieftain Ya'zada and the young Stormhowler shaman, who you believe was named Lor'gul.

According to Zo'rok's scouting, the Goatfoot Clan numbers around 40-50 plus some trained Crag Lions. You outnumber them, but they have the advantage of whatever traps and schemes they've cooked up to protect their camp.

So what's the plan, Ur?

>>37066371
Sperganon here, the first response is mine!

>>37066358
I want to try surrounding them, but i have a feeling they might escape though underground or going above our head vai trees.
Can we ask our dick ass thief mate and friend for suggestions?

>>37066425
Lack of trees in the waste, the jungle is still a fair bit south of you. Underground though, who knows, Zo'rok didn't spot any escape tunnels, but if they had one covered by a tent he'd have had no way of knowing.

>>37066424
But, my response added to the thread, and i finished reading as well.

How about starving them out. It might take a while but we could eliminate any source of resources they have, and scare off any animals they hunt. This would force them into a confrontation with us.

>>37066447
What does our dick ass thief mate, friend suggest?
Also what about luring them out, by having one group chase them towards a favorable position(the group chasing would get help finding traps), and we force them to comply.

>>37066425
Our witches should be able to take care of any underground tunnels, I think.
>>37066447
How big was the camp? How tightly packed could we surround it? I think having them surrounded or taking someone hostage could work, but I feel we might have to use guerrilla tactics against them.

>>37066371
Smut tales pastebin when faget

>>37066471
I believe Orc are pretty hardy beings so my guest is that would take months.

>>37066341
We used brute strength to integrate the Stormhowlers. Following the heroic formula we'd have to display extreme cunning to bring the Goatfoots to heel.

>>37066447
do orcs have a universal peace symbol like a white flag or something?
we could have a meeting with the goatfoot clan chief and lieutenant.

>>37066499
>Thinking of using the same strategy these guys have been using for years
I doubt it would work, we could kill a good portion, but the rest would get away, and that isn't counting our losses as well.

>>37066471
That would take a long ass time, I'd rather deal with it fast if we can.
Maybe we can try bringing our witches and challenging the chief with our warriors, acting like we came to them to recruit them without having gone to the Stromhowlers, then the Stormhowlers come up from behind and surround them, so they really won't be able to refuse, or get slaughtered. They probably have at least a couple orcs willing to join us who are unsatisfied with the current ways.
Stormhowlers should only move in if they don't bend to our will though.
Our priest friend(Is he here?) could maybe take care of the lions.

>>37066472
If you mean Zo'rok, who's really more of a scout and hunter than dick-ass thief, he recommends forcing them into a position where you can ambush them. He rightly reckons that the Stormhowlers would merrily charge into rows and rows of deathtraps if you leave them to it, so you'll need to coach them on the plan.

>>37066477
Camp is fairly small but densely packed, you have enough forces to surround it completely, but it would leave you spread a bit thin for any concerted counterattacks.

>>37066490
2015

>>37066517
Not that you are aware of, though you could just shout out to them for a meeting from a distance, voices carry well in the wastes, and Ur'shal can be pretty loud.

>>37066358
well, Ya'zada leads her warriors into a frontal attack while we sneak in the Goatfoot camp.

>>37066553
Nah, too many deaths.
Forcing them to surrender by force would make it pretty likely for them to rebel/want revenge as well, I believe.

>>37066358
How about we smoke them out, and have our coven trap them in a pit, in the proccess of doing this as well.
>>37066472

Why not wait for them to break camp? We can set up an ambush for them while they're in transit.

>>37066610
>>37066591
So how about wait for them to start moving and then force them to an avoidable confrontation using the witches and smoke, and wing it from there.

>>37066536
>Not that you are aware of, though you could just shout out to them for a meeting from a distance, voices carry well in the wastes, and Ur'shal can be pretty loud.

i'd like to try diplomacy before we start axing, bashing,slicing and magicing orcs.

>>37066610
>>37066621
this

>>37066534
No one likes this idea?
It could work if they haven't scouted us, especially if we can catch them in the middle of moving like >>37066610 said.

Can our ogresses spot movement from ground vibration/something similar. We could lure them to ambush us and then counter ambush them and foil their surprise with earth magic.

>>37066358
We have earth magic.

Just set a giant pit trap around their camp.

Seeing a lot of different choices here, so let's put it to a vote.
>Surround the Camp
>Lure them into an ambush
>Use the coven's magic to smoke them out and ambush them
>Diplomacy
>Wait until they break camp, then ambush

>>37066679
Ashuris isn't quite as powerful as she was on the night of the sacrifice, the coven could build a giant pit trap around their camp, but it would take a long time.

>>37066680
>Lure them into an ambush
>Diplomacy
>Wait until they break camp, then ambush

>>37066680
We'll definitely try diplomacy at least, regardless of what we do.
My vote goes to
>>37066680
>>Surround the Camp
like in >>37066534 possibly combined with waiting for them to make camp.

>>37066680
>>Surround the Camp
>>Lure them into an ambush
>>Diplomacy
>>Wait until they break camp, then ambush
Surround them while they are moving.

>>37066680
>>Lure them into an ambush
and then >Diplomacy

>>37066680
Why not lure them out of the camp, infiltrate the camp, and kill them when they come back?

>>37066680

>Wait until they break camp, then ambush

>>37066712
Rethought, could work as an ambush too, we wait for them when they move, do the offer, then the Stormhowlers come in if needed.

>>37066680
>Diplomacy
They must be given a chance to cave. If they do not, then we eradicate.

>>37066680
>Diplomacy

>>37066731
Because I believe people would prefer not to kill potential members of your clan if possible.

>>37066731
because they won't come back, and killing them is a waste.

>>37066680
>Diplomacy
we can diplomance from a position of power so let's bring the stormhowlers as well but keep 'em on a short leash to make sure they don't become aggressive.

>>37066680
>Use the coven's magic to smoke them out and ambush them
this one, but no diplomacy or we lose the element of surprise.

>>37066680
>Wait until they break camp, then ambush

If you guys think going in with all our cards in the open will work with the sneaky guys, you're really underestimating them.

>>37066700
They can detect any tunnels though, right?
I mean, I doubt they have them for temporary camps, but some anon was paranoid about that.

Seeing a whole lot of diplomacy, with some added luring into ambushes and waiting until they break camp.

So do you wish to wait until they break camp, then lure them into an ambush and commence negotiations once you have them trapped?

>>37066825
Ashuris does not believe there are any tunnels, no, plenty of hidden pit traps though.

>>37066845
Yes.

>>37066845
We must negotiate from a position of strength.

Wait until they're in the ambush, then negotiate. We'll have the upper hand and demonstrate our own cunning.

>>37066845
Sure, I guess.
Consult any experts we have on things relating to this tactic.
Also Ya'zada on how the Goatfoot act/think. If they're unsatisfied with their chief or something, if they would be willing to join us.

>>37066845
She could sense Those pit holes as they are artificial? Would dramatically lower our chances of getting hit by traps

>>37066873
She can sense them to a degree, though it does require concentration on her part, so if you were to use her as a mobile trap detector, she would be moving very slowly.

>>37066867
I doubt they would be unsatisfied, since he is still in power, they might be trying to suck up to him though/

>>37066845
seems acceptable.

>>37066845
Sure.

>>37066845
Is that an overall approach bonus, or do we roll separately for those things? Any other kind of write-ins we could use to get bonuses?
Also, be sure to give Ya'zada some steel weapons and armor.

>>37066917
No rolls yet, I am taking all suggestions into account though.

Seems to be a pretty solid agreement with that general plan layout.

Writing.

>>37066929
can the coven mindfuck the crai lions ? could be a huge advantage.

Rolled 14 (1d20)

Lets roll and see if todays Dice are merciful.

>>37066976
Messing with the minds of animals isn't really their thing.

>>37066929
I'll say try and create trench-traps, so instead of big circular pits there is just enough width for the orcs not to be able to step over, or do spread out small pits to break their possible charge if they want to fight.
Does Ya'zada think if she approached them straight up they'd just try to kill her?
I also really want to know how this conflict started before we do anything.
>>37066976
Doubt it, I think they can only mindfuck people, and even then only the weaker and at the height of their power.
But getting them to mindfuck some people they can, who look important or dangerous could be good if it comes to a confrontation.

I just realized, the coven could totally make us a tunnel to the middle of their camp, or collapse it under their camp.
I mean, yeah it'd need time, but they could.

>>37067007
We have a lot of momentum in uniting the local Orc clans, now that we have the stormhowlers, the goat foot clan fall into place. They can't afford to make enemies out of our assemblage.

>>37067054
I still want the mountain clan, and than possible timeskip.

>>37067054
They can't afford to outright make enemies out of us, but they could be cunning and plan revenge.
remember that strange coincidence of how Zol'gor, still mortal, became a king?
>>37067074
>time skip
No thanks.

>>37067088
>No thanks.
Warlord says that we have been needing one for some time and the quest was made with time skips in mind.

>>37067101
>>37067088
Hell we went through a mini time skip recently, the one i'm talking about is gonna be a few months to maybe a few years.

>>37067110
I'm okay with mini time skips, maybe weeks long ones, but not one with several years.

>>37067132
To elaborate, I'm assuming we wouldn't just stay put doing nothing important for years.

>>37067147
we do need to breed and let the kids grow up to be able to fight

>>37067132
Several years is going to be required if we want anything to do with a bigger tribe capable of taking on the wall.

In the meantime we would probably establish an orcish kingdom of the wastes as a base of assault and develop the area to live in better.

>>37067147
>>37067132
Warlord will probably put to vote on how long we would do one, with longest probably being 14 years.

>>37067101
We are very due. We have successfuly United all of the Orc clans more or less, or at least nothing stands in our way too unite them.

>>37067167
Waste is a death trap, we would need to move north or south.

>>37067164
We can still do shit while that happens, explore the wastes, get some brown elves, get the jungle under control, kill a dragon sometime, etc.
And then we can take on the wall.
>>37067187
>United all of the Orc clans
KEK
There are probably dozens of clans spread out, we just only knew of the ones near us, Warlord confirmed there are more clans in the Wastes.
>>37067192
I wouldn't say death trap, just hard to live in, but that's nothing new, we still have tombs to explore and clans to unite.
Not having the wastes under our control would be a waste as well, it would be our place to expand from that's be hard to take for enemies.

>>37067192
Of course.

No timeskip for a while yet, and it certainly won't be multiple years long, at least not at this early stage.

>>37067192
Preferably south. We must dominate the jungle and mow it down, creating farmland that will supply our people. The trees and resources will support our war machine.

You call Dru'ak and Ashuris over to you, Ya'zada and Zo'rok.

“You have a plan?” Dru'ak asks.

“I do, but first, I want to know anything you can tell me about the Goatfoot Clan, Ya'zada. We need to know how they think, how they act, if there's any infighting we could take advantage of. How do they feel about the chieftain?”

Ya'zada snarls. “They think and act like cowards, scurrying around in the dark, hiding, picking off lone warriors and smaller groups. They won't give us a fair fight if they can help it, and if you force them into one they'll be looking for any opportunity to escape and come back on their terms.

The chieftain is Or'kug, he's a withered, treacherous old bastard, but he's tough, and he's careful. If he wasn't he wouldn't have lived this long. He's also the only thing keeping the clan together, too many egos among his lieutenants, all waiting for him to drop dead so they can take charge.”

You feel you're getting a rather biased view here, but given the Stormhowlers' blunt outlook you suppose they would take poorly to more subtle tactics.

“I don't want to attack the camp, too many traps, they'll be well dug in and hard to dislodge. Instead, we wait for them to break camp, then we ambush them out in the wastes. Once we have them at our mercy, then I lay out my demands," you explain.

(cont)

>>37067239
Just be honest instead of denying your orc blood and say that you want to rape dark elves.
>>37067236
What is the history between orcs and elves?

>>37067252
“So we're not killing them?” Ya'zada asks, looking a little annoyed.

“Not unless they don't give us any other choice. We need all the warriors we can get now, if we are going to reclaim our glory.”

“No warriors in the Goatfoot clan, but if you say so. I have one thing to say though, Ur.”

You nod, noticing that Ya'zada has already taken to shortening your name, apparently your new lieutenant gets familiar fast.

“Sar'zor, Or'kug's lieutenant. I want his head, I want to carve that smirk off his face and watch him die. Convincing my old clanmates to get along with the rest of the Goatfoots is your problem, but none of us will stand by while Sar'zor lives.”

Seems there's some bad blood there. If you recall, Sar'zor was the orc Ya'zada claimed had killed her former mate, the old Stormhowler chieftain, but you'd guess there's more to it than that.

“Killing one of their lieutenants flat out might not make us look good to the Goatfoots, Ur. Might make them think they're playing second place to the Stormhowlers, be careful,” Zo'rok adds with a shrug, earning a glare from Ya'zada.

>I make the decisions here, Ya'zada, no deal
>Very well, you can have Sar'zor's head
>Decide later
>Ask for more details

>>37067266
>>Very well, you can have Sar'zor's head
probably the ugly one

>>37067266
>Ask for more details

>>37067263
Orcs and elves do not get along, at all.

Not least of which because orcs like the long-lived and magically adept halfbreeds they can get out of elf slaves.

There is also apparently some ancient elf legend about orcs being a punishment for the hubris of elfkind, but you don't know much about that.

>>37067266
>Ask for more details

>>37067266
>Very well, you can have Sar'zor's head

>>37067266
>Details

>>37067297
Funny enough i read some FF, with the same idea saying that orcs were elves who grew too viscous and was cursed for their deeds.

>>37067266
>>Ask for more details

>>37067266
>let him live and i'll accept you as my mate.

>>37067266
>>Ask for more details
Hopefully he'll try to kill us, or be disrespectful, after which we can let Ya'zada destroy him as demonstration and marriage gift.
>>37067329
It seems to me that Lordy is saying that they think orckind was a race made by the gods to torment elfkind.

>>37067266
Make them duel.

Do giants looks like this?

>>37067352
I doubt we want the treacherous bastard in our clan, mate, we're just looking for a way to look good while killing him.

>>37067372
Not really, more like large humans, though the nobility apparently take on more exotic appearances, with strange skin colors, horns, elemental effects and the like depending on the bloodline in question.

>>37067372
No, giants are beautiful.
Or was that noncursed ogres?
Anyway, giants come in several colors but are very humanoid I think. As in, not monstrous like in your pic.

>>37067266
Ask for more details.

We can't just straight up kill the guy, But we can force them to duel saying that too much bad blood has been spilled. We can say that this final fight will be the end of all their squabbling and with it's end so too ends their tribes conflict.

>>37067372
Ur wold still fuck it, hell he would fuck the female orge if an orc doesn't knock her up.

>>37067377
How do we know he's treacherous?

we're getting biased info here.

Details first then.

Writing.

>>37067398

>>37067377
>treacherous
what ?

>>37067445
It's an anon believing every word that the new muscle waifu says.

>>37067405
I honestly doubt that.
>>37067412
>>37067445
>stabbed Go'lak in the back
Ya'zada wouldn't lie to us, if her mate had been killed in battle I doubt she'd hate him this much.

>>37067474
>Ya'zada wouldn't lie to us
She literally said that there are no warriors among the goatfoot.

That is a lie.

And assassinating enemy commanders is standard practice in war. We'll be doing it too.

>>37067474
Okay, this really looks like waifuism, I realize now, but really, I just think we can trust this one thing she said.

>>37067474
Dick ass thieves tribe anon, what makes you think they fight fair, hell she thought the smart way of disarming her was cowardly.

>>37067474
>Ya'zada wouldn't lie to us

>>37067521
>>37067499

>>37067533
Hey other guy, take a screenshot, i dont know how to on my new laptop

“I know Sar'zor killed your old mate, but is that all of it? What makes him so much worse than the rest of the Goatfoots?”

Ya'zada frowns.

“He's twisted in the head. Sar'zor likes to draw it out, bleed you until you're weak, make you suffer. Sar'zor has taken a lot of my clanmate's lives, and none of them died good deaths... Go'lak, he did not die a good death. Sar'zor is poison, and if you let him into your clan, you'll come to regret it.”

“So if he's so bad, why is he a lieutenant? Why would the Goatfoot chieftain trust a man like that?” Zo'rok asks, earning another snarl from Ya'zada. Seems the two of them aren't going to be getting along all that well.

“How should I know how those Goatfoots think. Maybe they look up to him because of it, maybe they just don't care. So Ur, what is your decision?”

>I make the decisions here, Ya'zada, no deal
>Very well, you can have Sar'zor's head
>Decide later

>>37067521
>Put your waifu back in your pants
Where else would one keep a waifu?

>>37067562
Propose a duel.

Make them duel it out in front of their clans

>>37067562
>Very well, you can have Sar'zor's head

>>37067562
>>Decide later
We need to meet him in person, first especially if we change our mind later.

>>37067579
Seconded.

>>37067562
>Very well, you can have Sar'zor's head

>>37067562
>>Decide later

>>37067579
Maybe we should wait until we meet the guy first

>>37067562
>Very well, you can have Sar'zor's head
Honor is one of our selling points. Not just us personally, but that of our cause and our clan.

However, she has to be the one to kill Sar'zor. This is her vendetta.

>>37067562
>Decide later
we can't kill this guy is super useful.

>>37067562
>Very well, you can have Sar'zor's head
Just kill him when we ambush them, then no one can say we were favoring shit because it was the heat of battlefield

>>37067579
This, is a decent idea it basically gives her what she wants.

>>37067579
I like it.

>>37067562
>>Decide later

but we're gonna end u eventually doing this>>37067579

>>37067617
umm, no it's not, we've never really gave a shit about "honor" we have no problem stabbing someone while they sleep.

>>37067562
>If he doesn't suddenly have a huge influence on me when we meet, which I doubt, I will let you have his head, Ya'zada.

>>37067562
>Very well, you can have Sar'zor's head

>>37067643
But we certainly don't torture people.

>>37067562
>>Very well, you can have Sar'zor's head

>>37067624
We aren't just fighting. We're going to set it up and then talk.

>>37067562
>>37067579
This. Though it may be best to wait until we meet the guy first.

>>37067624

>>37067677
All within 1 min and 10 seconds of eachother.

Cut this shit out

>>37067645
>>37067579
Seconding this dialogue and line of thought.

So i see 2 votes for killing the guy. A few for wait unitl later. and a bunch that are a mix of wait until later and propose a duel.

I don't think we have to say we'll have them duel right now, I assume that's what she wants in the first place, a fair fight and all, plus we can just say so when it's time.
>>37067736
Dropped your trip?

>>37067562
I say we either cut him up or we let Ya'zada have her duel with him.

>>37067711
Umm yeah none of these should count.

>>37067755
Nope just a concerned anon wary of samefagging and hopeing to convey what he sees in the votes

>>37067711
Because everyone has to monitor the thread 100% of the time in order to vote within 1 minute. Just because other people disagree with you doesnt mean its samefagging.

>>37067808
No. because 5 votes all in a row with between 1 minute and 1 minute and 10 second in between each post means that they are the same person. doubly so because none of the posts are the same.

Hmmm, I'm seeing a lot of decide laters, a lot of duel requests, and a lot of calls for his head.

How does this sound?

Tell her you'll decide later, but assure her that if you don't like the feel of Sar'zor when you meet him, she can have a duel with him to resolve this.

Oh wow, I did not notice that one and a half hours have already gone by.

>>37067871
That works

>>37067871
Alright, but say we doubt we'll like his feel, or that it will probably end up with her holding his severed head.

>>37067871
I'm game.
>>37067863
Not him, but 3 of them are identical and within the 5 minute mark.

>>37067911
Nah. No need to show favoritism. gotta act like a chief and be neutral

>>37067911
Put away your waifu anon.

I just don't think it's a good idea to piss off the former chief of the clan who are bigger than us that was well-liked.
Isn't she like twice our age, by the way?

>>37068055
She's 29, Ur'shal's 16, so almost.

>>37068055
We're her chief now. She recognizes it. She accepts us as her leader. She isn't going to rebel against us.

>>37067643
Our entire rise was based upon challenging the previous chieftan to honorable combat, the same with this most recent duel, and the delivering of promises. Our credit and respect is good because we've kept it that way. Let's not muck it up.

>>37068084
>we just added a MILF to our harem
Nice.

>>37068140
Also, Warlord, did you come up with all the details of your world before you began your quest or have you winged it and made up stuff as you went along with the quest?

>>37068167
Tell that to the anons who want to let someone else have him because "we have too many girls"
>>37068191
Aleida is a milf as well.

>>37068191
That's only because challenging is the best way to win a clan with minimal bloodshed. We snuck up on ashuris. We have no problem doing a little dirty work. A kingdom needs to have these sorts of people to survive.

“Enough. I won't decide this here,” you growl.

Ya'zada looks ready to say something, this is clearly a touchy subject for her.

“...but Ya'zada, if I meet this Sar'zor and he feels as bad to me as you say he is, I will give you a duel with him to resolve this once and for all.”

That puts her back down, and Ya'zada nods, grinning that same grin you remember from your duel. “Good, I'll cut him down in front of his whole cowardly clan.”

You sigh, seems your new lieutenant has already decided you're going to hate Sar'zor. For now though, you need to prepare for your ambush. To do that, you need to know when the Goatfoot clan are breaking camp, and which way they're going, so how will you do that?

>Send scouts to spy on them and report back.
>Use the coven's magic to feel for their movements.
>Both


>>37068202
Little of column A, little of column B.

Hey ya Lordy, glad to see you're back when you said you'd be. Just watched the Hobbit, went straight home and to /tg/ to see if you were here.

Now let's fuck up some Goatfoots

>>37068283
>Use the coven's magic to feel for their movements.
They just used a sacrifice so they should be at full power.

>>37068283
>Both
Why not?

>>37068283
Ask the coven how well they could do that thing, we don't know how close they have to be.
It's probably be best to do both though.

>>37068283
>Use the coven's magic to feel for their movements.
They have no shamans, so this should work.

>>37068283
>>Use the coven's magic to feel for their movements.

>>37068328
Not too close, they would need peace and quiet to maintain it though.

>>37068283
>Use the coven's magic to feel for their movements.
they have no shaman

>>37068283
>Use the coven's magic to feel for their movements.
This the only advantage they can't predict we have.
They can be patrolling with their lion to detect scouts and spies but they wont be able to deny magic.

We should probably start moving out BEFORE the Goatfoot start to move camp.

“The Goatfoot Clan has no magic users, right?” you ask, figuring that Ya'zada could confirm it for sure.

“They did, we killed their shaman four years ago. Never had to worry about magic from them since.”

You nod, gesturing for Ashuris to join you.

Ya'zada eyes the ogress strangely, you wonder if she's ever even seen an ogress witch before.

“This is Ashuris, one of my personal slaves,” you grin, giving the ogress a squeeze on her sizeable ass as she steps up next to you. Ashuris gives you an annoyed look, but makes no attempt to remove your hand.

“Ashuris, can the coven use its magic to watch the Goatfoot camp, and tell us when they start to move?”

Your witch sniffs, proud expression set into place even as you continue to squeeze her buttock. “Of course, Ylugri's power is still strong in our veins, that would be simple. However we will need to be undisturbed to maintain it, so if, chieftain, you could keep any orcs from pawing at us while we work, that would be appreciated.”

“Of course, Ashuris, wouldn't want any orcs pawing at you,” you smirk, giving the ogress' rear one last squeeze before you send her on her way.

Ya'zada gives an impressed whistle as your witch walks away. “Strong and magical, and you claimed her, you've got to tell me that story someday.”

You grin, “perhaps I'll have Ashuris tell you herself someday, or show you.”

(cont)

>>37069017
Your allies all go their separate ways to mingle around the camp, the ogresses picking out a quiet spot to sit in a circle and chant their guttural words, before falling silent.

It is several hours later before they stop, Ashuris rising up to speak with you, rubbing at her stiff muscles.

“It's done, they're moving, heading south slowly. If we leave now you can cut them off.” she explains.

You nod, calling up the assembled forces and setting out.

The Stormhowlers look eager, perhaps too eager, even after you explain to them that you are not attacking the Goatfoot clan unless they force you to.

It is an hours walk circling around ahead of the Goatfoots before Ashuris raises a hand, “we're close, they'll come from that way.”

You nod, now the question is, how do you prepare this ambush to force diplomacy, and keep the slippery Goatfoot clan from escaping or turning the tables?

>>37069066
It's possible, yes.

>>37069040

>More magic

>>37069040
Wouldn't be too hard on the coven, so much magic in so little time can't be good.

>Ambush them from both sides from the rocky cover around.

>>37069040
Wait, the coven can do magic like that?
Illusions?
This is not a vote.

Rolled 11 (1d20)

>>Send one group out to attack and chase them into another.
>>37069074
Than do a trap and the chase thing.

>>37069074
Then I vote to do that, and make sure that they cant escape the area

>>37069083
Not illusions, but they can certainly shape the stone and earth in such a way that it's very easy for your warriors to remain unseen.

>>37069040
>>Ambush them from both sides from the rocky cover around.

>>37069040
Have the Stormhowlers move around out of sight, and we call over the chief, while they circle and get behind them in case they don't comply with us.

>>37069040
>>More magic, use the coven's spells to hide your warriors and wait for them to pass into the middle of your group.
>>Ambush them from both sides from the rocky cover around.
mix of these

Also guys, since the goatfoot clan probably won't be impressed at us for doing single combat. But if we prove to them that we are smart and cunning, they could be impressed.

>>37069040
>More magic, use the coven's spells to hide your warriors and wait for them to pass into the middle of your group.
>Ambush them from both sides from the rocky cover around.
Mixing this seems good

>>37069146
that does sound like a good idea.

>>37069146
>>37069176
Yeah, hide the Stormhowlers so they think we're alone.

>>37069040
>Send one group out to attack and chase them into another.
and this >>37069066

>>37069040
How about we first try to trap them naturally but be ready to use magic to prevent their escape completely?
We don't want them to know everything about us the moment we ambush them.

So magic to hide your warriors and then an ambush from both sides seems to be the popular choice.

Also, there is some suggestion of the ogresses creating pit traps for the ambush.

So, pit traps?
>Yes
>No

>>37069233
Actually wait. If they don't have a shaman then using magic would give us a better negotiating position.
Nevermind let's go with >>37069066

>>37069233
True, that's why I'd prefer the two-way delayed ambush if they're aggressive, I think we're a stronger force than them right now, and they should be carrying tents and shit.

>>37069040
>>More magic, use the coven's spells to hide your warriors and wait for them to pass into the middle of your group.

>>37069294
Nah, don't advertise that we have strong magic, just do the ambush normally.

>More magic, use the coven's spells to hide your warriors and wait for them to pass into the middle of your group.

You brought some extra weapons in anticipation. Ya'zada has a new axe.

Looks like that's a no on pit traps.

>>37069568

You pick out a good spot for an ambush, lots of uneven rocky ground for cover, and for the coven to work with.

You outline your plan to them, and they get to work shifting earth, reshaping rock, ensuring that your warriors will be harder to spot. It's far from their finest work, and you suspect that they are still a little tired from several hours of maintaining the spell watching the Goatfoot clan, but it should be serviceable provided your clanmates can use it properly.

You hear some grumbles from the Stormhowlers about hiding, but a few stern words from you, and a couple of slaps round the back of the head from Ya'zada seems to get them into line. Thankfully while the Stormhowlers prove to be a little too big and a little too unsubtle to hide well on their own, your choice to bring the veteran Rockbrute hunters pays off as they and your two lieutenants do the rounds of the Stormhowlers, helping them get properly hidden.

You don't have to wait long before the first Goatfoot orcs appear, though it's hard spotting them amongst the rocks. Their armor is as odd as Zo'rok described it, patched up from animal hides and covered in dust, complete with hoods or animal skulls atop the head, it seems like the armor was made for equal parts intimidation, and to blend in amongst the dusty wasteland.

You wait in your hiding place, expecting at any moment for the Goatfoot Clan to spot you, but they don't, it is not until they are deep within your ambush that you see one of the crag lions start to sniff the air, snarling.

Now or never, Ur.

(cont)

>>37069988
You leap from your hiding place with a roar, your clanmates following. It seems Ya'zada's view of the Goatfoots as cowards was not entirely accurate, as they don't scatter or panic at your sudden ambush, closing up into a cramped formation, their young and weak protected at the center, weapons ready.

The Stormhowlers shout and roar, trying to goad the Goatfoot clan into a fight, but the Goatfoots are staying unmoving, quiet save for the occasional muttered word between them, impossible for you to hear.

Now is the time to make your case, because even if you convinced the Stormhowlers not to attack straight out, you aren't sure it will last.

>Write-in

>>37070007
"The Stormhowlers are part of my clan now. The only ones they don't have to kill are also part of my clan. Who among you is not part of my clan?"

>>37070050
That's actually pretty good.

>>37070007
I like the Goatfoots already.

Something like

"I'm rebuilding the orc kingdom, come and join me"

Something simple and genuine to start off with

>>37070050
The stormhowlers are not going to scare them, i dont think intimidating them is going to work.

>>37070007
>Look around you Goatfooters! You are surrounded! There is nowhere to run and we will slaughter you to the last if you will not join us!

>>37070050
I like this structure, but it needs more of >>37070110 in it, instead of just the stormhowlers.

>>37070198
Well, I don't just wholesale take everyone's writeins. I modify what people write in a way that fits as many of the suggestions in as possible in a way that makes sense.

>>37070143
It just sounds like you're trying to sick the sotrmhowlers on them and they aren't scared of them.

Trying to convey that would sound a bit different.

>>37070218
I seriously doubt that would work.

>>37070110
We should definitely add on something about the old feud between them being a negative thing for the orc race, and that we shall resolve it tonight.

>>37070218
That is a good way to get a knife in our sleep. We need to actually convince them to join us, or else the'll leave at some point or assassinate us.

I also want to add something about our accomplishments like we did with the Stormhowlers if their chief doesn't act with respect, as a later add on, to give weight to our claims.

>>37070074
This. Lets them know who we are and opens diplomacy.

>Give the opportunity for some negotiation

>>37067329
>Too viscous
You're sure about that?
Are you absolutely sure?

>>37070884
Viscous sounds about right, yeah.

You step up to the front of your warriors, taking a deep breath and letting your voice boom out, drowning out the shouts and roars of the Stormhowlers.

“Goatfoot Clan, I am Ur'shal, chieftain of the Stonetusk Clan. The Rockbrutes and the Stormhowlers now fight in my name. I would see the orcish people brought back to glory, no longer killing each other over old feuds in a dusty wasteland. Now, where is your chieftain?”

There is some more muttering from the group, and a pair of orcs step out to the front. One is old and wizened, face drawn and scarred, his gnarled hands rest on a pair of wicked, curved daggers at his belt. Next to him stands a far younger and larger orc, tall and proud, a handaxe held casually in one hand. You hear a low growl in Ya'zada's throat, her eyes fixed on the younger orc, who returns her look of loathing with one entirely devoid of any real emotion, one eyebrow quirked slightly as her malevolent gaze. That would be Sar'zor then, you can't say he looks particularly unusual to you, but then again you haven't spoken to him yet.

It is the wizened old orc who speaks with a voice like gravel.

“Here I am, chieftain, is it a duel you're looking for, or did you just want to look me in the eyes before you had your Stormhowler dogs cut us down? If you're hoping for me to bend the knee, I'm afraid I'm getting a little too old for that, I may not be able to stand again.”

You frown, the Goatfoot chieftain doesn't seem particularly impressed by your display, though he could just be hiding it well.

“What I want, Goatfoot Chieftain, is for your clan to join with me, none of us will benefit from a bloodbath here-”

Ya'zada noticeably growls, as to several of the other Stormhowlers, but you silence her with a glare as you continue.

“-instead I offer you the chance to serve my clan, and to end this feud once and for all.”

(cont)

>>37070931
“I do not think this is a feud that can be resolved as easily as you suggest, Stonetusk Chieftain. Too many of our clan have died at Stormhowler hands,” the ancient orc replies, fingers drumming against the handles of his daggers.

“and many of them have died at yours. This feud will be over one way or another tonight, I promise you that.”

“Very well then, Stonetusk Chieftain, I do not wish to fight the Stormhowlers forever. I'm sure my clanmates would take great pleasure in watching the shaman Lor'gul die for his crimes against our clan. Perhaps then the healing can begin.”

“You dare to speak of crimes when your lieutenant stands beside you, how many Stormhowlers has he tortured and mutilated for his pleasure,” Ya'zada roars.

“Those were warriors, they should expect to suffer, that is what warriors do. Was it warriors that Lor'gul burned when your dead mate attacked our camp ten years ago?”

“Lor'gul was not aiming for your whelps, perhaps if you cowards had met us on the open field he would not have had to turn his fire on your camp.”

This is getting nowhere, and it seems like the Stormhowlers are getting riled up, and the Goatfoot clan don't look much happier.

Let's kick off this fight already. What a waste of a good ambush this was.

>>37071022
Just give them 2 weapons that are exactly the same. Or let them do a grappling fight

>>37070953
>Lor'gul burned when your dead mate attacked
This means it was Go'lak that attacked, and he is dead at the hands of Sar'zor, his death shall be price for the shaman's sins.
Sar'zor shall duel Ya'zada, and after that, the feud shall be over.
>>37071028
I doubt Lor'gul is much of a fighter.

So it seems some kids were burned to death by the shaman.

>>37071058
Yeah, this really does seem logical, I mean the Stormhowlers' chief died, and that is pretty severe.
Still, how about we have the shaman burn himself, or brand himself?

>>37071022
this is the best option we can not kill another magic user we need them

>>37071044
That's actually a great idea.

>>37071169
Yeah, our bitch is quite good at grappling, it seems. She'll be happy, the goatfeet can't complain because it IS fair.

So if she loses, should we stop the duel before it becomes bloody?

Okay then, that's quite decisive. Duel it is.

>Roll 1d20 for extreme diplomacy to try and sell this resolution.

>>37071058
Sound logic.

Let's just assure them we dont expect them to like each other, or bury the hatchet overnight. We'll seperate their orcs from each other for the most part in camp, but will work together when put to a task. Maybe rib the goatfoot at how their constant warring weakened them that We ambushed them, the same as we'd matched the stormhowlers in a straight up fight. Shame for both to let a lesson sink in.

Since the Goatfoot is too old, his lieutenant Sar'zor with stand for him against Ya'zada. Both champions will use steel axes to ensure the fight is fair. Grappling is allowed, but no other weapons. By request of Ya'zada, the combatants will fight to the death. Is this acceptable?

>>37071408
Yes, our best friend and our mate.

The two people in our clan LEAST likely to turn on us.
And if the stormhowlers don't like us, all we have to do is bash a head or two in. If the goat foots (goat feet?) don't like us, we'd have to screen all our food, and even then we wouldn't have anyone specific to punish.

>So to settle this once and for all there is only one solution: an authentic Orcish duel! But we want to see which ORC is the better, not which weapon is, so it shall be a grappling fight. This ensures that the best Orc will win, or the one backed by the gods. Ya'zada is our champion, who is yours? Or are you too cowardly to settle this is an honest way?!

>>37071298
Have our witches show some of their magic, also speak about how we will punish the shaman for attacking welps.

>>37071298
Okay, let's try write-ins.
>People, tell me that I am right.
>The Goatfoot clan's reason for hate, is the death of their children at the hand of the Stormhowler shaman.
>The Stormhowler clan's reason for hate is the death of their chief, at the hands of [I don't remember].
>The latter cost them their best warrior and chief, a great loss.
>I shall judge that that, together with the shaman's punishment, which is that he shall burn himself tonight, will be enough for their actions.
>And for the death of their Chief, [whoever] shall duel their previous chief, Ya'zada, to let them decide his fate.
>And with this, the feud shall end tonight.
It may be better to duel their guy ourselves as we are the current chief of the Stormhowler people.

>>37071430
Yes.
I agree with you.
We need to train some stealthy types.
However, coercing the stealthy types into joining us is practically asking for a knife in the back.

>>37071487
Nah, they can fight, that's okay, I doubt their guy is much better than us and we won because of our superior weapon, if we give them equal weapons it should be fine.

>>37071469
The same can be done of the storm howls, hell the rock brute can do that as well.
Hell we have a god of stealth, most of our info comes from people like them, hell the ones they attack wont be us, but the stormhowls.

Tell them that the shaman shall be punished for what he has wrought and te blood feud between yzada and the orc shall be settled today, as for the chieftan challenge him to a duel.

“Enough,” you roar. Ya'zada and Or'kug both going silent.

“It was Go'lak who ordered the attack on your camp, and you have had your revenge for that. Sar'zor has still to answer for his. There should be a duel between Ya'zada and Sar'zor to resolve this. Once the duel is over, you will join my clan. I do not expect your two clans to become friends, you will be kept separate, but you will both fight for me, and I will bring you both glory.”

Ya'zada gives a pleased growl as she locks eyes with Sar'zor.

The younger Goatfoot finally speaks. “I committed no crimes. Fear is one of the greatest of weapons,as Zol'gor Tor teaches us.”

You frown, you think you can see a little of what unnerved your clanmates about Sar'zor before, his voice is flat, monotone, even facing the duel, he seems utterly unconcerned, as if all of this is happening to someone else.

You see Or'kug tap a finger on his chin.

“I accept your suggestion, on one condition. Go'lak died for his own crimes, not for Lor'gul's. If Ya'zada can challenge Sar'zor to a duel, then I request the same right to challenge Lor'gul.”

Sar'zor gives a blank stare at his chieftain, you get the feeling he wasn't expecting Or'kug to go along with this. Still, this isn't exactly what you wanted. You doubt Ya'zada will be overly happy about this duel, though you have no idea of the capabilities of Lor'gul or Or'kug.

Lor'gul for his part is looking as gloomy as ever, but hasn't said a word during this whole encounter, even when he was accused.

What now?

>Agree, two duels
>Refuse, offer alternate compensation (write-in)
>This isn't working, attack

>>37071510
Torching the shaman does us no good, he acted on the old chief, goatfoot took this claim with his life. We need this shaman too, our current is very old

>>37071604
>>Agree, two duels

>>37071604
>Lor'gul acted on the orders of Go'lak, and Go'lak is dead. How many whelps died?
