>A1: Heroes
>13: Complete failure!
Nobody goes to the arena as of late. People have seen too much blood as is, and would rather spill whatever it is Fungals have than red. As such, few fighters actually get to do what they want and mostly sit around doing fuck all.
>A2: Boat
>13: Complete failure!
>"You do realize how much wood we would need to make a boat large enough to hold our army, right? Why would we cut down our main export when there is a perfectly good land-bridge right over there?"
The carpenters idle in confusion as to why you want this, and any attempts to make a boat quickly end in several dead Tauren.
>-50 to invasion forces
>A3: Reinforcements
>34: HOT DAMN LUCKY NUMBERS!
When the troops start to get going over to Cuth, there are a few, issues. For one, the walk is far longer than expected, taking several days to even begin to see the settlement. As such, some of the more, excitable, tauren and humans are left to their own devices. The end result is several tauren and human men and women setting up a pole to more or less tease others on.
>Strippers invented!
>A4: Army
>21+5=26: Below average failure!
The strippers become a huge hit in the Army, and soon little progress is made due to many troops stopping to get a good performance from their favorites. Then orgies.
>A5: Elite soldiers
>8+5=13: Complete failure!
The vets of the Army, pissed at how quickly the greens are distracted, spend time amongst themselves discussing tactics and the like. That is until a red-headed human comes over with a flirty look in her eyes.
>A6: Expansion
>31+5=36: Failure!
All the NCOs and anyone who commanded respect have left with the main army force, and recruitment officers are overwhelmed with requests to join. These recruits have no idea how to wield a weapon, and just make a mess and break weapons when training.
>A7: Colossi
>55+5=Success!
Despite all of the crap going on, many masons have set to work on making more of their beloved Colossi.

>8+5=13: Complete failure!
>"WE ALREADY HATE THE MUSH! WE DON'T NEED TO BE TOLD WHY WHEN WE COULD BE OUT THERE RIPPING THEM APART!"
It seems like the people don't enjoy you telling them why they should hate the Fungals, seeing as how they ripped open the queen, stole the royal baby, and have been general pricks.
>War enthusiasm: Frenzy!
>R1: Sophite
>45+5=50: Average!
The idea of using Sophite as an ammunition is kicked around a bit. When it is properly tested though, nothing special is found about the little red bolts and balls. They do seem to fly a bit farther though.
>R2: Gliders
>58+5=63: Success!
The Aeromancers, seeing how ineffective it would be to try and use air in a densely packed jungle, decide to take to the skies for a better fight. They get some help from the engineers, and make a glider fully capable of carrying heavy cargo, like rocks!
>Early bombers invented!
>R3: Jungle Survival
>32+5=37: Failure!
Turns out the Jungle is different from the Wastes. Any known survival techniques (Light a fire, erect a stone wall, dig underground) prove horribly ineffective in the muddy underbrush. At least from what messengers from Cuth report. They do say that clearings seem to help though.
>R4: Balista
>26+5=31: Failure!
Ship mounted weaponry is an interesting idea to the sailors, seeing as how most of your current weapons involve fire and a wooden ship wouldn't be ideal for that. As such, some mount massive crossbows on the ships, though the range is pitiful at sea.

>A1: Housing
>80: Great success!
The sand becomes thick and mushy every day when tide comes in. It can get anywhere and everywhere. Up hoof crevices, between toes, under nails, and into housing. As such, some have taken to, quite literally, building up. They simply cut down the tallest trees, tie them up, then prop them up and build houses and platforms on top of them. Soon following this roads are built between the platforms with planks and vines.
>Ropes invented!
>Stilts invented!
>Elevated housing invented!
>+5 to biological growth in Cuth!

>R: Plants
>61+5=66: Success!
Concerns about other normally completely harmless plants suddenly sprouting legs and possibly eating babies spurs continuous scouting efforts. Reports come back of mystical beings carved of wood with glowing green, orange, or blue eyes wandering among the vines, ignorant to all the death around them. More disturbing reports follow suit, as some speak of shambling, things, that have growths coming out of them where heads or appendages used to be. When they are around, all is quiet, and any animals hide out of fear.

>A2: Shrooms
>100: RNGESUS BE BLESSED

A patrol sent out to look for suspicious activity comes across an odd sight. A single Fungal, appearing to be resting under the shade of a tree. The creature's eyes (or what you hazard a guess are eyes) are closed, and it sits completely still. The captain is called over, and the decision is made to capture the bastard. After grabbing a vine, a tauren gets a running start, jumps into the air, and slams the mush against the hard tropical trunk. Startled, the creature struggles against the bulk of the soldier. The rest of the squad moves up and restrains it's appendages with more vines, then carry it back to Cuth. When they set him up on a stone stripper pole, they begin questioning.
>"Who are you? Where is the baby?"

It takes a moment for the creature to get it's bearings. It opens it's wretched mouth, then garbled speech comes from the hole.

>"I NO NAME. NO TELL."

The captain looks over to his warhammer carved with the death rune, then grabs it.

>"Rookie, grab this thing's leg and be prepared to cut it off."

After the rookie does this, he brings it down on the Mush's foot. Rot spreads from the crushed bones, and a blackness creeps up the stalky leg. Before it can reach the main body, the leg is cut. With a sadistic grin on his face, the captain repeats.

>"Now, where is the baby?"

>"EAST! BIG CAP! NO HURT MORE! EAST WITH MOTHER! JOINING SOON!"

Any further language is too heavily mixed in with cries of agony, and soon the thing is left with a missing leg.

Prisoner list:
>Mush
>Elf Queen

Totally okay with supporting a blitzkrieg and scouting out the way. This is about saving the baby and causing as much pain as possible to them for daring this..

Plus if what you hinted at is what I'm thinking it is pulling it off will garner allies, or at least parties looking for meatshields against the fungus. It'd be good to know the players at least.

After their fun with the girls (and boys) is done, the vets sit down and proceed to get shit done. They properly organize themselves into squads, establish a chain of command, and more or less become a separate fighting force from the main army.

>Special forces established!

>A3: Boat-Bows

William, having set sail for Cuth before the main army, notes the giant crossbows.

>"Oi, ya do rrealize t'at we've got boom-sticks now, rright?"

After deciphering his speech, the crew assemble a ramshackle mag-crossbow. Upon firing, it nearly sinks a nearby ship after the ammunition sails through the air.

This will follow the extraction in a separate post.

>R1: Sophie and Sleep
>83+5=88: Great success!

A small voice wakes William from his bunk, and he sees little Sophie. After realizing what this means, he flips right the fuck out.

>"WHAT IN SPIRRITS' NAME ARRE YA' DOOIN' ON T'A BOAT!"

>"I snuck onboard, I was afraid of being alone..."

After making sure no one was awoken by his screaming, William slams his head against the wall several times, the follows the pale girl to the deck.

>"I put the shiny rocks together!

She picks up the sword William had with him, now glowing a bright orange. Giving it a few swings, William finds it to be incredibly light, able to cut through anything (including Sophite!) and fires concentrated bursts of fire when swung upwards!
>Slephite invented!

>R2: Steam engine

A single caravel is late to set off, as it's captain had wanted to outfit his ship with a, as he described it, "spinning wheel to propel us forward like a mighty arrow!" It works, oddly enough.

Powering the gliders is a novel idea, and some of the more mechanically inclined Aeromancers strap steam engines to the bottom of their gliders. When they attempt take off, they do fly a bit faster, but soon drop off to the ground due to how fucking heavy the engines are.

Real question is can you count on them when push comes to shove?

It might be worth taking an action to scout out farther and see if theres anyone looking for allies against the mush themselves. The real problem I'm worried about is the damn fungus brains can infest and infect troops in the fighting. Its like fighting the undead kind of. Every loss we take is fodder for them to toss at us.

I might be overthinking it but if I was in charge of a race of insane mushrooms that can take over their enemies and my enemies want to rumble...

Seeing as how a bridge with the structural integrity of paper is a poor thing for an army to be traveling on, a few Geomancers attempt to repair it.

The fungal looks up, cap pressing against it's back.

>"No leader. None. Mother above all. Serve alone."

He(?) doesn't seem to want to talk. A swift hammer strike to the right arm gets him to spill more.

>"MOTHER HAS SISTERS. MORE. SERVE HER AND EACHOTHER. NO HURT!"

Milomir was a bit slow on the cut, and the Fungal screeches in agony as it's insides turn to a mushy black paste.

>>39855757
Good point. We should probably approach the tree-people and ask them for help.

>>39855833
Good to know the humans are in our corner at least. I didn't expect the deep ones or the halfings though. which is ironic because I'm anonfag'n the low fantasy human civ and those halfings are downright psychotic.

I know the wars started alright. They did that when they took the royal child. They've made their intent fully known by it.

We just have to find allies to support us in the war effort, even if it means making deals with races we'd normally be repulsed by. I'm fully willing to say the fungals are on verge of going mushroom apocolypse on everyone if we can't win this somehow.

This'll take if I'm right guile and deals ontop of ruthless battle tactics. Even worse I have this sinking feeling that a few races have all but been fully assimilated by the fungal borg already. They're large enough to have multiple "queens" controlling them... It's going to be bloody no matter what and if we fail they'll likely infest the world.

Catherine had set out on the land bridge before the army had even arrived, fueled with rage to get her child back. The crude stitching in her stomach pained her with each passing step, but she was able to make it to Cuth in about a week's time. When she met the captain Milomir, she was able to decipher his thick accent and made a plan to get through the Jungle. Heading out on a small two-man canoe, they approached the, city, if you could call it that, of the Fungals. The creeping mass of biological matter formed into mockeries of buildings as the two made their way into the bulbous mass. Miraculously they weren't detected, and made for the biggest building they could find. After finding a small opening, they crawled inside (after a short debate of who should go first) and emerged covered in mud, bits of shroom, and other bits and bobs. The room was massive, dwarfing most structures in Drozen. Large ivory tendrils wandered about, focusing on a small capsule in the center of the room. Inside a dark bloch floated, surrounded by a teal liquid. A large creature, twisted into a feminine figure by various fungal growths, clawed at the tank, desire in her empty eyes.

>"My child..."

>Part two incoming

>>39856150
Well shit this sounds bad

>>39856065
The best part is if my worst case scenario is correct Civvie is currently having the mush in progress of said mush-pocilypse! Which is why I'm worried about finding every ally we can. If we don't they'll be even more enemies to fight with shrooms sticking out of their skulls.

Plus fighting them directly will be a nightmare, the more ways we can push it into total victory the better. And being a total politican about it if we do rally an alliance of races across the known world we will be seen as heroes and saviors and be in setup to potentially gain much. maybe even trigger political win for the continent founding a permanent alliance or federation.

>Continued

Crawling forward at a snail's pace, the tauren and human edge closer, careful not to make a wrong move. When they near, the pale glow of the tank becomes apparent, and an outline can be made out. It takes the form of a small baby, with cracked horns, a human face and torso, tauren legs, and small pieces of fungi growing out of odd crevices in it's body. Catherine lets out a small gasp as she realizes what it is, and she and Milomir duck to avoid the creature's quick gaze. The young woman soon stands up, moves over to the tank, and breaks it open with the tip of her spear. The liquid bursts from the hole, knocking back the mockery of life as Catherine grabs the body and proceeds to run the fuck away. After recovering from shock, Milomir gets up and follows her, both heading for the hole from before. Ducking inside, they manage to just barely make it out before the creature's cries reach their ears.

He's already got the ideas I think sadly. He really wants to kill us with this.

Also thinking on why they'd take a child it comes down to either

>Bio-Warfare prototype, they need to learn how to adapt to the tauren and humans better to destroy them quickly.

>Political nightmare, the loss of the child would cause quite the mess.

>Literal baby biobomb, set us up the bomb. they'd let us take the poor thing back and its a literal fungal viral bomb we'd take right to the court none the wiser.

Or something even more insane he's cooked up. Theres this weird vibe of...trans humanism almost, like they are hell bent on well.. in their own demented way uplifting the other races to fungal greatness. And as a result gaining our own humanoid traits. this one seems obessed with having a child of her own... I'd have to see more of this demented story play out to figure out more honestly. Kind of a neat idea though. Post organic society of robots but the robots are all mushrooms and rather insane.

As the two run for their lives (and possibly the lives of their entire world), the sounds of several Fungals emerging from the biological mass where the ground used to be. The two barely manage to jump into the canoe and begin paddling before the distinctive sounds of rocks falling from gliders whistles through the air.

>"Heh, rright on time..."

Soon, the stench of death rips into the air, filling everyone's nostrils with the smell of "get the fuck out right now you motherfucking sons of bitches." The rotten black mass roars through the fungal jungle, turning any living matter into more of itself and then desolving. What is left, from what Milomir can see, are the skeletal forms of beings, animals and sapient, and the ruins of what look to be ancient buildings. As the gliders begin their second run, a tentacle strikes from the ground, ripping them out of the sky and crashing to the surface. The cries of the gliders as they're ripped to pieces by the feminine creature echo into the pair's ears. They make their way down the river, exhausted by the night's work. As the arrive in Cuth, they see William's ship sail into the harbor. The man and young elven girl step out and see them.

Catherine goes right up to William, clutching what she assumes to be her child in her arms.

>"We were rrescuing my child, dipshit. Sophie, shield your eyes. Now, somebody help me cure this little bundle of love."

Taken aback by the grotesque sight before him, William vomits a bit to the side, then returns his attention.

>"So t'ats what ye get when a Tauren an' a Human fuck...Right, let's try and fix the lit'le bugger."

William takes him to the the Hydromancer of Cuth, one of the few mages that came with the initial settlers. As the woman looks him over, she mutters a few words, then runs her hands over the tiny form. At her touch, the growths begin to fall off, one by one. All except for one on the child's arm come off.
>The child has been cured!

>R: Defenses
>54: Average!

William, thinking that it would be a bad idea to fuck with Catherine at this point in time, decides to speak with Milomir on how to properly defend the settlement against the Fungals. After a short debate on whether or not to use stone or wood, walls are built up with death runes carved in and painted in strategic places. Nothing is touching that wall and living.

Totally. Needs to be examined further in the future. Thats very important.

>>39857413
I'm surprised they didn't already actually. Totems are one of the hallmarks of rune magic alongside etching weapons and arms and masonry work. Very strange indeed. Heck with some work healing totems could be brought to aid the fight.

The surge in primal warrior spirit burns brighter than the sun with your people. The word soon spreads of the royal baby's safe return (holy crap this march is taking a long time), and, now knowing that they now don't have to hold back, many, many, MANY citizens sign up for the army. They then proceed to begin a march of their own. Only difference is they quickly catch up, and learn of strippers. This leads to even more people joining up.

>A8: Spread the word
>94: Amazing success!
The human army, which as of late has been sitting outside the walls doing fuck all, is alerted to the current situation. They also begin marching because "Hey, having all of our forces on one fucking bridge can't possibly go wrong!" On top of this, runners are sent to alert the "other clans" to this new development. The Deep Ones are told, though they seem indifferent as they, quote "No fear Fungals. They no go in water." The Halflings refuse to come outside the icebergs for one reason or another.

The Fungal prisoner has a decent chunk of his flesh ripped off with a sword, is stitched back together with vines, and then is thrown back into his cell. Upon examination, the Fungal body parts bind to the Tauren, turning him into a horrid creature begging for death. At least it was quick...

Oh you

I'm glad I can take part in it too. :3 My friends don't like roleplaying games, and this is the first time I've done this sort of thing. It's very enjoyable.

First, I like the name

Second, glad I could be of service.

Also so many uses for these new runes. siege rune, ultimate special ops surivial runes and self healing troops? Fuck. The Hell. Yes. I mean god damn you play these right and you can get 100 mush for a single soldier. I like dis alot.

>>39859657
Nope, all good, just remember to start with Cuth on the next Thread
actually, when will the next thread be?

>>39859724
I dunno why I'm good, personally I think I'm crap compared to the others (Blorp, the Cyclopes, etc.)

Goodnight buddy. Hope to see you next week!

Next thread will most likely be next Sunday at 5:30 EST. HOWEVER, that is subject to change on whether or not my D&D group will be able to play on Saturday, so check in at 5:30 EST that day. If there isn't a thread up, assume that we'll be playing Sunday, and if there is hop right in.
