"Practical?"

"What the people want. Usually the Barrel, being the master of commerce, will take over, though the Pick and War-axe may join in depending on the talks, such as mineral trades or weapon trades. And-"

"PIRATES!" one of your men roar from the deck, pointing off in the distance, where you make out the shapes of the human ships, clunky and awful but at least twenty-five of them, more than your own twelve.

But your twelve has gatling guns and rifles.

>Turn to face the human ships. Fight them head on!

Now, small bit about my schedule this week, since it's a ride. I'll be running this quest today, and will be running it again on Sunday.

The quest-ion is whether I can run MSQ tomorrow. It depends. If I do, the timings will be off. Is that alright?

>>39978231
>>Turn to face the human ships. Fight them head on!
We have ammo to spare, our friends need a demonstration of the Gatling guns, and these bloody barbarians must learn to fear us.
>>39978327
is fine

>>39978231
>Turn to face the human ships. Fight them head on!

I almost feel bad for the Pirates...

>>39978327
Don't worry about it. We'll live.

>>39978231

”So, Tsin-Chak?”

“Yes?”

“I think it’s time that these pesks learn a lesson,” turning to your own crew, you shout out, “prepare the gatling guns! Every man on deck and ready to throw lead! MOVE IT!”

Feet stomp, and soon enough everyone on your boat is up against the walls of the ship, either holding their own rifles towards the oncoming threat, or working to load the gatling guns sitting ready on the ship’s sides. Soon enough other ships start copying you on seeing your response to the threat, though a few of the ones just transporting goods turn around to put the fighting ships in between them and the raiders.

“Sir!” one of the men approach you. “How should we handle this?”

>No survivors. Scorched Earth.
>Take a few boats down, scare them off
>Just some warning shots from the personal arms.

>>39978671
>No survivors. Scorched Earth.

I regret nothing.

>>39978671
>No survivors. Scorched Earth.
The fewer people who actually know how deadly we are the better.

>>39978716
>>39978709

Haha time for killing indiscriminately.

>>39978729
we're human, was there ever any other option?

>>39978802

Actually, you're trans-drone. Please don't oppress me and my right to kill indiscriminately.

>>39978671

“Kill them. Kill them all.” the man salutes, and turns back to the group, signaling for them to fire.

And by god do they. As the raider ships get within range, the pop and whip-crack of .22 rifles going off up and down your blockade of boats fills the air, only to be drowned out by the constant churning of the gatling guns. The smell of powder fills the air, and you think quickly about how you may need to secure sources of saltpeter or whatever else you use to make gunpowder.

Soon enough, the sound stops. The enemy ships aren’t that bad looking, with holes here and there, but it’s the gore on board that really shows off the handiwork of your team. They were chewed up and spit out, and with so many people on board (standing room only) they had no choice but to get torn apart by the bullets before death granted them their reprieve.

And now it appears you don’t have any more enemies. For the time being. Once again, the Dorves look impressed, especially Tsin-Chak. “One day you’ll explain the secrets behind those guns of yours. Or I’ll wring it out of Richard.”

“One day, Tsin.”

After the excitement of your fight, time passes quickly enough until the shores are close enough for you to make out people, and Hashan itself.

As opposed to just being a seaside cliff, Hashan is almost like the cliff-face was torn apart and restructured to look like the wall of an entire castle, if any castle was several dozen metres high with battlements and towers leaning out of it. Right at the bottom of the wall there are stone docks extending out into the water, where a few ships are already gathered.

>>39978926

>>39978951
No impasse, single ship wins! Yours has the Dorves on it anyway, so it's cool. Writing.

>>39978987
huh, didn't see the vote with the pictures.
well i look stupid...

>>39978845

“Alright, so our ship will go in first, to make a good impression. After all, we’re not savages; we kill from 300 yards or more!” the man you direct the instructions to rolls his eyes and heads off to tell the captains of the other ships, now close enough to have set up a few planks between, waiting for the command.

Your ship slowly pulls away, entering the Dorven dock. A few of those on the smaller Dorven ships cower in fear as the yacht you come in on slowly makes it’s way up to the largest space open at the dock, conveniently present right at the front. Soon enough, it docks, and your men are securing it to the ground.

As the bridge comes down for you to walk down, some Dorven guards march out from the great wall. Of course, guard is a strange word, considering that all of them are wearing a mish mash of armor and wielding a smorgasbord of weaponry: one particular dorf has a pan on his head and a ladle in hand, both looking recently used.

As you descend, the guards march forward. “Halt, human scum! I know not what clan you come from, but you’re just like those barbarians around us! If you refuse to leave-”

“Calm down, Makin-tok. He’s a guest of mine, and as civilized as could be. More than us, for sure.” Tsin-Chak descends the bridge, followed by the other dorves, all following her like a procession. “Now, this calls for the Greetings Ceremony. Johnerin here has been practicing his Dorven, and would like a chance to use it.”

The guards stare in shock at Tsin-Chak, before bowing and scraping away. “Of course, Barrel. Right away.”

>Barrel?
>This place is impressive. Valets could be better, though.
>Write In.

I find this song to be oddly appropriate to our current situation.

>>39979158

“Barrel-” it clicks, and you laugh. “Oh, that explains the retinue, then. Well then, Tsin-Chak, Barrel of Hashan, it is a pleasure to make acquaintance with you.”

Tsin-Chak nods. “The pleasure is mine. Now, the War-axe and Pick should both be at least out of bed by now, so we shall go greet them while the time is ripe.

“Time is ripe for what?”

---

After managing to surprise two surly looking dwarves dressed in pajamas predominantly featuring gold and cave-rabbits, you’ve finally settled down in the Grand Hall of Hashan, where a round table has been set up in the centre of the room, where the three Dorves all face you, where you sit on the other side of the table.

“So, let us begin. Tell us, human, what do you bring of worth to Hashan?”

>Men capable of fighting.
>Weapons, worthy to be wielded by Dorves.
>Trade, so that everyone may prosper.

>>39979547

“I can bring you men, capable of fighting off the threat you currently face, capable of driving that threat into the fucking ground, if you would allow me. And after we’ve eliminated those pesks, I can bring you trade, to fill your coffers and make each dorf living in Hashan a wealthy one, their riches born off the technology we have at our disposal. Allow us to help you.”

>Roll 3d10, minor 4, major 7.

I keep forgetting how the dice works in this because I play in one that's similar but not exact, how does this work again?
>>39979926
aaaand I'm suddenly happy I decided to roll.

>>39979956
You need 2 or more dice to reach a DC. Having all 3 above the major is a crit, having all below the minor is a crit fail. In between gives me freedom for varying degrees of success.

But honestly, I should just switch to D20.

>>39979839

The War-axe frowns. “Hmmph. You’re a human. What could you possibly provide? Maybe Barrel has been won over by your apparent wealth, but you’re soft. No real strength. I cannot give my approval.”

The Pick also frowns. “You sound strong. But we have not seen anything to show your strength.”

Tsin-Chak sighs, and turns to you. “You’ll have to give them a demonstration, Johnerin.”

>Write In

>>39979978
I would suggest d100, less constant critting either way.
>>39980021
>demonstrate one of the gatling guns on some training dummies.

>>39979978
Honestly I prefer 3d10 to 1d20 but if you are going to switch 1d100 would be the way to go on /tg/

I'll back this >>39980059 cause it's pretty much what I was going to put.Except i was going to suggest using the invading humans as the practice targets.

>>39980021
>>39980059
this works

and i just read the backlog, im loving the quest so far

>>39980098
I would agree, but they aren't... wait are they here yet? because if they're here than totally use it on them.

>>39980145
Awww, thanks anon! :3

>>39980153
I believe they are around 2 weeks out by their estimates

>>39980098
>>39980059
>>39980145
Gatlin' it up. On humans, if necessary and present.

>>39980153
after all, why waist ammo am i right?

>>39980207
Yes, shoulder ammo far superior.

>>39980207
>>39980207
That was partially my reasoning but what better way to show them our power than if we annihilate their enemies?

>>39980240
aaah screw you I'm eatin pizza on a friday i'm allowed not to care about speling.
I Seriously though this quest rocks.

>>39980245
Cause they will have to wait for those enemies for a week+?

>>39980318
Minor details. Because of conserving ammunition? We're the only people who know how to make it and gatlings fire at about 1000RPM (More realisticly 400 in combat)

>>39980021

“In that case, let’s bring out some guns to demonstrate. Treat them to a gatling, maybe.”

---

Soon enough, you have a few riflemen and a gatling team set up on the docks. Further out into the sea is a single human boat, apparently captured and stranded just outside the gates. The humans inside live on whatever scraps people send them, and they’re all currently watching the events on the dock.

“So, what, we’re an execution team for these guys?” one rifleman asks. “Is that even slightly moral?”

“Eh...” you shrug. “I guess, but Tsin-Chak told me a few of these guys made it in and managed to get to the children’s quarters with a weapon before they could catch up. I think we’re allowed this one.”

The rifleman nods vigorously. “Actually, yeah, putting them to death sounds humane. Anyway are those the Shawrax, Tsinrax and Hashta people? Isn’t the last one Tsin-Chak?”

You think for a moment before realizing that you actually hadn’t thought about how the War-axe, Pick (or diamond-axe) and barrel sounded like in English. Weird. “Yeah, Tsin-Chak turned out to be the Barrel/Hashta person. Either way, we’ve got a confirmed ally. We just need to put on a show.

The rifleman, and the rest of the firing team, all salute. “We’ll do our best!”

>roll 1d100, +10 for rifled weapons. DC is 45, but that's the minimum for impressing them.

>>39980387
We can use regular rifles. Their effect on fruit and armor should be impressive for a long-range weapon.

Rolled 85 + 10 (1d100 + 10)

>>39980410

>>39980465
right back at you

Rolled 17 + 10 (1d100 + 10)

>>39980410
I'm not sure the moral of this either...

Rolled 39 + 10 (1d100 + 10)

>>39980410

>>39980476
They slaughtered helpless children, i am okay with this.

>>39980447
Crit. Writing.

>>39980496
...well, apparently there was a hidden major DC.

>>39980490
If that's what they did then fine. The way it was said wasn't clear when I read it the first time.

>>39980410

And so the carnage begins. Sure, it’s only a boat with about twenty people on it, but with a few riflemen methodically destroying each and every last one without pause. The gatling gun stays unused, with the team looking slightly unhappy but very impressed with the riflemen.

You turn to the Shawrax and Tsinrax, both wearing awed expressions on their faces.

You smile, and say in Dorvish, “So, do I deliver?”

“You...you most certainly do.”

>You’ve impressed all of the top Dorves at Hashan! Time to befriend them!

The rest of your ships all come into the docks, and soon enough they’re actually lifted out of the water by an ingenious crane that some Dorven engineers created that looks pretty damn good, despite flagrant abuse of physics, to inside Hashan, in a warehouse to be kept safe. One ship gets sent back to confirm the success of the mission, along with some notes for what to develop next.

Midway through your own preparations through preparing Hashan, you receive news that Roanoke is having a little trouble. Some civilians realized that they were all boned and rebelled. It was calmed without too much fuss, but productivity tanked.

Now, here on Hashan, you have some other duties. Your first mission starts with checking in with the Shawrax, and seeing what he does.

“So, I am the War-axe of this hearthplace, as you know,” the Shawrax says, “I train my men to fight, and then lead them in glorious battle.” He pauses, looking out from the walkway over the centre of a large training hall, where numerous dwarves are all going at it, either with each other, with dummies, or the slightly broken beer pump at the side of the hall, where some dwarves are methodically bashing it to persuade it to release it’s sweet nectar.

You nod. “So what would you like me to do?

“As the War-axe, my job is to ensure my men are battle ready. Compared to your own troops, though, they are utterly and completely inadequate. I would appreciate if you were able to train my men with your firearms. I don’t mind if they aren’t as good as what you have, but please! To survive, two hundred of your men won’t be enough. We have two thousand dorves, ready to fight, not even including the Hearth-mothers and children who can all bash a human’s head in.”

>Give breech-loading rifles.

I immediately thought of multiple counter-arguments.

>>39981056

>>39981010
I'll back this >>39981056

We can also give them like 5 gatling guns for defending the town.

>>39981121
how many do we have? we only took half of them.

>>39981056
Backing this, but would not want to give up any gatling guns for now.

>>39981056
>>39981074
>>39981121
Alright, so we'll go with breechloaders+repeaters, and save gatlings for now.

>>39981150
Uh.. looks like it was never specified...

How's 50 sound Artemis?4man crew and weighs about 1100lbs. just to give you an an idea of how many would be needed to man them all

>>39981288
Yikes, how about 25? You made about 10 in the first production run, anyway.

>>39981288
...we DID only work on them for what a week?

To be honest we should develop culture first, we live in a culture where there is television and the internet to waste all our spare time on. the longer the people have nothing to waste time on the more prone they are to start goin' nuts.

>>39981328
And that's the other side of culture.

>>39981328
I suggest we at least create medicine and working hospital equipment first.

>>39981315
Yeah, that sounds good to me Incidentally howitzers require about an 6-8man crew

“Alright, I can provide you with several hundred of these single shot rifles we have, and some of the ‘repeating’ rifles as well. That fine?”

The Shawrax nods. “Anything, anything at all.”

Incidentally if we wanna give them repeaters but not weapons strong enough to prove a valid thread to us we can give them a couple of these. Made in 1780 by austria held 20 rounds of .46 caliber balls and

>>39981010

It’s within a single week that you watch a group of some of the Shawrax’s best being gathered up to use the rifles, and within that week you see them get turned into an elite military unit. In fact, you think they did far better than your own people did on their first lessons. With the massive amounts of training and discipline that the dorves went through, they take up the wonders of “aim and fire” with pleasure.

Soon enough, officers are chosen, and promoted to repeaters, who then lead their own squads of dorves onto some raids into nearby human villages, slowly pushing back the threat till Hashan once again spreads out onto the docks and beaches, as opposed to staying inside out of fear.

You watch a few dorven children playing around some of the ships before turning to Tsinrax, who’s watching you with avid interest. “So, Johnerin, you have certainly helped us, even in your first week here. What else do you have planned?”

You shrug. “Honestly, however I can help. What do you need?”

“Well actually, a few things…”

The first thing you had done once everyone had arrived in Hashan was get the CEA you had brought with you set up in their own little domain. They had quickly made friends with the spell-gineers (as the CEA was calling them) and were both coming up with a handsome combination of magical and mechanical machinery. They replaced the original crane with one that didn’t outright disobey the law of physics, thus making it work a little more smoothly. They had gone about improving the roads by plastering them with high-quality paper, so that they’d keep stable for hundreds of years.

When you gave them the task to refine the refineries, they were overjoyed, with at least one of the reasons being the recursion that came with the task.

With the help of the spellcasters, they quickly figure out a good system to melt out slag, channeling that away into handy little vats for any silly would-be sieges, and then using the prime product and combining it with little chunks that the engineers help the dorves identify as chromium and carbon (before, known as notsilverstone and ashstone), and how they can help the process of creating high quality steel.

Before you know it, Hashan’s industry, already huge for dealing with thousands, now has the assistance of modern tech. You have no doubt people will be complaining inside the year of cheap dorven labor.

Oh, guys, I had an idea.
How about, for all the help we're giving them, they teach us what they know about magic? I mean, sounds useful right.

>>39982563
sure. think that was kinda the idea to begin with.

>>39982457

And now you’ve done it. Tsin-Chak, of course, demands nothing of you. After all, you guys are friends now, and you both know you’ll be trading as soon as possible. And so, to repay you for what you’ve done, she offers you some favors, at least before the humans arrive.

>>Something Else?

>>39982563
What we should really do, is dress up all our science as philospher/alchemical bullshit, make ourselves the only ones who actually know what it is that we do, so that we can turn our island into a giant secluded stronghold-city of beings who appeared from nowhere possessing strange knowledge, it'll help keep others from counteracting us, make our goods in high demand, and make us an intimidating unknown force.
Plus I love the idea of a giant fortress-island where strange creatures with unknown powers dwell, emerging with bizarre weapons that overpower armies far larger than them.

While the forges are cool, the sooner we can master magic the sooner we can blend it with advanced technology to make entirely new fields of magic and research, the sooner we can do this
>>39982711
I mean seriously, one-time-gift versus magic training? That's basically not even a question.

C'mon super sonic 30MM uranium shells. You know you want to. I mean I definitely would like magic. But.. c'[mon....

>>39982767
What about a Gatling Schwerer Gustav? We've established magic trumps physics.

>>39982755
It's not a one time gift. All it's saying is, for the next week, you get this. Thus, forges may be more efficient, since you know what to do with them already.

>>39982791
oooh, i thought the first one was them offering to teach us magic, and the second was them offering to build us something kick-ass.

>>39982812
Either one week of training your magic, or one week of using the forges. That's the gist of it.

I still say training, it's a permanent upgrade to a very useful skill.

Magic is an interesting tool, you learn. Every species has its own kind. Now, you can cast the spells of another species, but they can often sputter out and die on you, as the magic is very dependent on the area you’re in and what you are as a person, thus leading you to believe genetics may have something to do with magic.

Besides that, you learn that the Dorves have one of the most powerful styles of magic there is, behind dragons and aetheric beings, but also seem to have the disadvantage of extremely long cast times, depending on entire magical circles and symbols to cast than a few words and snapped fingers.

But hey, you’re an engineer. Nothing was ever done with a few words and snapped fingers.

That’s what you think, as you stare down at the wondrous magical monstrosity that is your first spell. It reminds you of the first time you set out to make a blueprint with all those fancy views of the final product. It sucked. It sucked so much.

But god did you love it. It’s still in your room at Roanoke, you think.

This seems much the same, though the dorves watching you seem a bit more careful with it than your engineering teachers did.

>Guess what! You can use magic! Magic takes time to be written, and at your stage in development it usually takes you a week to get a spell down right.

And now you hear the news coming in, from the outermost reaches of Hashan. That the small homes are being raided, the furthest away mines are being plundered. The humans are coming, they say. The humans are coming.

And now it’s time to figure out how you’ll defend Hashan.

we want them all in a nice narrow killing field so no one escapes.

And so, for the final few days you work on finishing the preparations of turning Hashan into a mountain fortress. Every entrance except the sea-side docks now menace with spikes, and the dock itself has five gatling guns at the ready, to fire upon any ships that dare come close.

And it appears one human ship is coming in right now.

You allow the ship to come in, though you get the Dorven fireteams ready to fire on the ship necessary. The only humans present are yourself, Michael, and Harriet, all wearing masks quickly put together by the Dorves, along with some other bulky looking armor. Tsin-Chak confirms that you definitely don’t look human, more like golems (which you note as a source of free labor to build for later).

Soon enough, the ship has docked, and one human stumbles out, looking slightly more refined but not by much, in the way that a fur coat looks better than just wearing the still bloody skin of an animal.

Without much fanfare, he comes forward to face Tsin-Chak and the other two leaders of Hashan, glaring at them in disgust. He jumps a little upon seeing you and the others, and stays wary. He begins speaking, in whatever they called English here.

“This is human land. You dorves need to get out.”

Tsin-Chak, being the translator, relays the information, and gives back a shaken head. “No can do. This is both the land of Dorves and of Roanoke. You have no right to be here.”

The human cocks his head. ‘Ro-ah-noke? What is this?” he stares at you. “Are you those from this Roanoke?”

>>39990847
I find the idea of the dwarves teaming up with a mysterious race that appeared out of nowhere in the middle of a lake bearing advanced technology, and no other race has seen there faces, so very damn funny. we absolutely need to get to work on making voice-changers and freaky-ass ceremonial armor. we will turn our island into a giant fortress that only a small group of dwarves has ever been inside.
You can't tell me this shit wouldn't be funny.

>>39990647


Making sure that the helmet grinds against your body, you slowly lean in towards the human, and nod, each part of you screeching as you do so. “We are Roanoke. We *will* destroy you.”

The human slowly takes a step back. “W-well, t-this is human…this is human territory! You can’t come in here and take our land!”

You laugh, the sound ringing out in all the wrong places inside the helmet and suit, sending the sound everywhere, an omnipresent grinding. “Really? And what are you going to do about it?”

“We’ll kill you!” now the human is getting angrier, likely at himself. “We’ll fight you! We are the twelve clans of the cliff-coast, and we will make you suffer!”

Tsin-Chak shakes her head, and says in English, “Leave, human. You will not win today, or the day after. You are free to come and die at any point. Know that we, and Roanoke, will wait for you.”

---

After that bit of fun, it seems that the humans begin to gather, and are preparing to attack. You have one more action before the battle begins.

>Send a ship to Roanoke for backup and updating their commands. (Gives you turns back at home).

>Use the dorven spellgineers to reinforce the weapons and defenses you have.

>>39990924
This gave me a great idea, we should make it so that it's never quite clear whether the City-fortress is named Roanoke, or we are, just to add that little extra bit of weirdness. Just always respond as, "we are Roanoke" when asked what the island, or the people are named.

Does that mean that we, humans of a much more civilization, can't be the more civil ones and at least attempt diplomacy first. And correct me if I am wrong, but are these guys from an actual human kingdom and are not just another band of pirates or rouges?

>>39991112
They are made up of eight human clans around the area of cliffcoast.

You kinda went with the dwarves first, but you're free to try diplomacy. Just, no one has yet. To be fair, I agree with you, but I'm a writer, and the story is fun either way.

>>39991102
>those who serve may one day be uplifted to citizens of Roanoke and let in to the city...
eh, I don't want to do that because then they'll discover we're human.
>>39991112
There a collection of tribes who are pissed that the dorves are here. also, we just got dropped into a world where the first humans we meet are child-slaughtering savages, that MIGHT make people a bit paranoid as to the dispositions of the other races, we should make it so that only the highest-ranking members of races we ally wit ever see a human out of large-impressive looking ceremonial armor. and even then we might want to have them wearing ornate black clothing with voice changers. Maybe even throw on a freaky mask.

>>39991112
there tribes.... its a dirty filthy savage way of living. its no more a crime to shoot them than it is a dog or the irish .

>>39991158
While I agree that diplomacy is all well and good, let's wait until we have Roanoke made into a staple fortress with a food and freshwater source that won't break down. We can be diplomatic and creepy at the same time, again, veil of madness.

>>39991186
It also helps the whole ceepy vibe if a dwaven city that was supposed to be over-run, suddenly finds mysterious allies who destroy a force that vastly outnumbers them. Hopefully we can set it up so the dwarves don't tell anybody about the island, I mean the only ones who know are the ones who went with us.

>>39991223
The thing I worry about this "creepy" factor is it will just lead to distrust or fear when we meet new groups of people/races. Fear of the unknown can lead to rash decisions after all

Mind, I don't mind secrecy in and of itself. I'd never easily or freely give away our best cards. Not even to the dwarfs.

>>39991112
Besides Spectral, it's all in the name of th'emprah.

>>39990924

With a little bit more work, Hashan becomes even more of a fortress. After getting over the shock and surprise of seeing such clean paper, the dorves quickly jump to it and start applying it to absolutely everything, reinforcing the walls and weapons as much as possible, until you can see the magic running down the barrels of the guns in the dorven and human hands.

After you had managed to make the mask work for you, the Roanoke humans (who’ve caught onto the joke and are now all calling each other Roanoke) are wearing masks, either made of forged metal and lightened with magic (fucking magic) or from more exotic materials, like wood, old knives, or even permanently-frozen snow. It’s creepy, seeing it, but in a way it helps. You weren’t always great with names, anyway, so the masks help you remember who everyone is.

And now, you see the first wave of humans approaching, from land. There aren’t exactly any entrances to get in from up there, but...

>Let the dorven berserkers go fight them

>>39991411
Well considering this artemis post I don't think that's going to be an issue. After all, it's a quest. We've got leeway.

>>39991411
no, just the diplomats and ambassadors, after all those are mostly going to be the ones that people see, if rumors start spreading that we're human, we start spreading other more ridiculous rumors, so that they get buried in the shuffle.
I mean honestly these people lived in suburbia, they're not very likely to want to go roaming out beyond there homes.
I mean the CEA would probably go along with it, they all seem to have a great sense of humor.
>>39991444
>wait until they get well within suitable range of the Gatling guns, then mow them down.

Just the combatants. I mean, powered/magitek armor and voice modulators would make us ridiculously fearsome to medieval enemies. Just imagine their leader's face when we approach him, his armies laying around, battered and broken.

Not sure what that pic is about, but you seem to be in need of charging

>>39991487
the more we can take out at range, the less there are when we go hand-to-hand, the less people die.
Our army IS relatively small after all, we need every advantage we can get.
>>39991512
change "we are but men" to "Nay, we are Roanoke," also, still think we should have the diplomats be in black formal-clothing with masks, and voice-changers, less intimidating, but still enough to make sure nobody really can tell who we are.

>>39991541
How big of a push is this? Is it a full-out charge or just a probing attack, if it's the main attack, gatling.

there is so much win in this thread...
hey artemis you still here? if so the winning vote appears to be
>send out the dwarven berserkers if it's a small attack, use the gatling guns if it's the big one.

>>39991444

we want to lure them in as deep as possibly for the slaughter

You know, I can't wait till we start introducing more of our culture to this world. Cooking, music, education. Things like that is what gets me going.

>>39991809
dwarf will love metal!

>>39991740
Got it. Thanks for counting.

>>39991809
I'm very excited for it myself.

After checking outside, you find a smaller force coming towards Hashan, more like a raiding force than anything. Obviously they had attempted to pick off the last dorven outposts, but with all of the citizens of Hashan returning inland to the hearthplace, there was nothing for them. And so they’re angry, and ready to kill some dorves.

At this, the Shawrax sends up some of the dorven berserkers, all five hundred of them, loaded up with their own shawraxes and beer, ready to take on the invaders.

>>39991886
So uhh, do you require three rolls to continue or is stopping at >>39991893 acceptable?

>>39991886
You might want to be a bit more descriptive than that, OP. Nothing turns players off like short updates.

>>39992001
It doesn't turn me off. Hive queen quest is one of my favourites.

Art? you die of pizza overdose yet?

>>39991893
Alright! Writing!

>>39992001
My apologies, I'm currently cooking a lentil chilli that requires most of my attention was unable to fill in a full one, and I dislike small updates myself. Will try to fix right about now.

>>39991981
Stopping is fine, if you judge the roll to be good

>>39991886

The battlefield is ready. On one end, a party of some hundred human raiders, each one dressed up in their armor, iron swords at the ready, wooden bucklers all aiming towards their opponent.

Their opponent is 500 very rowdy dorves, each and every single one drunk out of their minds, more than a few menacing with spikes, a group holding sheets of paper at the ready to enhance their comrades. And all of them were thirsty for human blood.

If it weren’t for the fact that you were their allies, you are sure they’d tear you apart just as easily as they are going to tear apart these humans. You don’t even think that guns could stop them that easily, at least not before some of your own men go down.

And so, the battle begins, and you watch the war take its first step. The dorves all rush out, with the Shawrax at the head of the charge, screaming out the dorven equivalent of “BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GODS!” The rest follow, and cheer the same, into the human mass.

The sound of weapons clashing reaches you from here, but you can tell from the screams of humans and victory cries of the dorves that your side is winning.

Within half an hour, the humans are either all dead, or running away. You feel a small twinge of guilt at the massive amounts of murder, but they had initiated it in the beginning. And they haven’t even faced your own weapons, yet…

>Victory to the Dorves!


You return back inside Hashan, where more progress is being made on a war room, inspired by the map you have set up back at Roanoke. Several of the dorves and your humans (you need to figure a palatable way of saying Roanokian or something) gathered around it, discussing battle plans. They look to you for guidance.

>Reach out to Roanoke for assistance, and check in on progress (Gives you turns in Roanoke)
>Bring out the ships again, work on a Dorven naval presence.
>Build more guns, prepare for invasion.
>Go on an invasion yourself.

If the Howitzers are ready have them send us one or two, that'll REALLY impress the dwarves.
also we need to see how the food issue is coming.
also, Roakin

>>39992292
How about just "Roans"

Seems a little more eloquent

>>39992331
I like to propose in the future we work on communications. Like radio or something, so we can communicate between Roanoke and those who are away from it easier

>>39992463
problem with that is towers, hand-held radio would probably work, and we might be able to figure something out with magi.

>>39992463
>Implying that the CEA wouldn't have their own HAM tower already built with parts for more. They do.

>>39992526
This kinda shit is why i'm glad we went engineer.

>>39992331
Writing for Roanoke.

>>39992526
not CB? with a good tower and a few amps my dad was talking across the united states on his and the smaller versions are way more mobile than HAM CB is the Superior format

>>39992607
Sorry to say, but I talk shit half the time. What's CB? And I'll let you choose between multiple HAM stations and fewer CB, if that's the case.

>>39992607
What's HAM, what's CB?
Are these wizard things?

>>39992629
there smipler to build (less complex ) but don't have the best range, and only 40ish 40 frequencies mostly truckers use it they are handy and cheeper.

ham can cross the world but much higher operation cost.

>>39992699
>>39992607
Got it.

You choose to send back a few ships to Roanoke, so you can check the progress of everything and insure that it’s all going the way you want it to.

So just before the ships leave, you prepare a letter.

Dear Mary,

Just wanted to check in with Roanoke. Everything is going splendidly here in Hashan, with the humans now attempting to invade and us winning each time they’ve tried so far (once, to be fair, but it was enough of a win that we believe we have this covered).

Nonetheless, I wanted to make sure that Roanoke is:
>Focusing on Communications
>Focusing on Agriculture
>Focusing on Culture
>Focusing on Industry

, because I believe that will be our primary goal in the coming weeks. I’d also like to
>throw a party for those in Roanoke, for their efforts
>get some items shipped back, if you would (Write In what you want)
>send some dorves over for a bigger workforce.

Along with that, I’d like to see if the CEA still at Roanoke could please:
>Build more lathes
>Build more guns
>Research new technology
>Research some magic

Cheers,

John Erin Perry

>Focusing on Agriculture
We need stable sources of food.
>throw a party for those in Roanoke, for their efforts

1-2 howitzers, the boat will NOT hold more
>Build more lathes

...oh god I just realized, we're going to introduce these dorves to vodka.

>>39992794
I'll back this because i'ts pretty much what I wanted. Fast communication makes battles, troop transportation and management so much easier.
