Having them charge us while we're holding Shez and less able to defend ourselves won't help. Remove danger; retrieve sister.

Gimme 3d100, please, and we can start this off!

I can't wait until we gain 6 levels from killing the Ur-Bison and wiping out the Herd. Let the Butt-Wars begin in earnest!

Anybody been following SUETHULHU? Did you pass your SAN checks?

>>41371965
Literally who?

>>41371866
>that spoiler

I... I'm guessing that means we didn't just unlock the eldritch spider evo path...

>>41371965
Personally hoping for Heaphastus/Vulcan/Molten Emperess variant of whatever we get. Honestly, the variants makes the whole thing much more complicated.

>>41371965

skullbutt a shit

>>41372022

I want the variant where we are Nano-machine/Material spiderbutt with the designation of RED STEEL

>>41372022
>empress
nin pls go and stay go

>>41371993
Hmmm. Eldritch Spider, or Scary Top Predator Spider. Tough choice for me personally.

>>41372022
Personally want the scary evo one, because being really really nice and happy and chipper while being able to radiate terror makes me happy on the inside

I was talking about variants, but for the evos themselves, that's probably the one I favor most too right now, even if I support others.

>Nin's reaction when

>>41372067
I could get behind that. Just hoping i won't still be at work when the voting begins...

Did I miss the "possible evolutions" discussion?

>>41372220
REQM posted a few possible evos, of which some were such we had already unlocked and some not.

>Tyrant Arachne, Deinos Arachne, Sovereign Arachne, Grave Lord Arachne, Cinder Arachne

>>41372220
We've got names for a few, but no details.

Tyrant, Deinos, Sovereign, Grave Lord and Cinder, with others potentially.

>>41372220
>>41372245
Note, because there was some confusion

Grave Lord Arachne
Is just the generic Lord evolution slapped on the Grave Arachne, not the advancement of the Grave Arachne. (Which I suspect is Deino Arachne since it sounds the most super-predator like)

>>41372245
If I recall, he also stated that those weren't the only options either. There are other names he hasn't revealed yet.

>>41372245
>>41372253
Deinos makes me think of Deinonychus which means terrible claw.

>>41372275
>he also stated that those weren't the only options either
Also true. I think he mentioned somewhere how many we had qualified for already, I think 3 but I can't find it anymore.

He also said Deino and Tyrant are of those 5 the biggest spiderbutts.

>>41372287
>Deinos makes me think of Deinonychus which means terrible claw.
Deino does mean Terrile/Terrifying.

And it makes me think of dino.

>>41371866
REQM, please answer my query so, what Evo will increase the size of our skull which rests on our butt? Not to be confused with the butt itself.

>>41372287
Pretty sure it simply comes from "deinos":

δεινός • (deinós) m, δεινή f, δεινόν n; first/second declension

terrible, horrible, fearful, astounding
(neuter substantive) danger
marvelous, mighty, powerful
wondrous, strange
able, skillful, clever

>>41372253
>>41372262
So in conclusion they likely come down to:

Tyrant: Dominate the shit out of others (probably acquired through the wolves)
Deinos: The murdertrain has no breaks
Sovereign: More traditional leadership evo (probably acquired through our friends)
Grave Lord: Lord Evolution, likely focused on skill ranks as opposed to having more innate abilities
Cinder; Burninating the countryside

>>41372370
All evolutions come with complimentary cosmetic butt upgrades.

>>41372406
>So in conclusion they likely come down to:
Thats basically what I had speculated back then too.
Really only what exactly Tyrant means in effect is sort of ambigious.
Is its ruling through strength/dominance and comes with physical enhancements?
Or is it the fear/intimidation based one and comes from our crit indimidate in the river journey.

>>41372425
Are any ones with a transformation included actually unlocked?

>>41371993

The Spider in Yellow

>>41372442
>>41372464
A transformation for the skull? For Lyra?
I'm not sure what you mean.

>>41372493
Evolutions that come with smaller "forms" one can take at will or something.
Because I can't help but think cities further away from the forest will be even less Arachne sized than this town was.

>>41372524
>Evolutions that come with smaller "forms" one can take at will or something.
>Because I can't help but think cities further away from the forest will be even less Arachne sized than this town was.

>Wanting to diminish our glorious arachnid shape

>>41372549
Shezka can resize herself enough to fit into our buttskull eyesocket without problems.
I'd even take a full spider form that we can resize how we want.

>>41372524
>>41372549
>>41372590
I, for one, am against shapechanging shenanigans.
That's not our schtick, and quite frankly, I don't want it to be.

>>41372590
>Shezka can resize herself enough to fit into our buttskull eyesocket without problems.
And Sheszka is a were-best, shapeshifting is kind of her thing.

>>41372590
That's contortion, not shapeshifting.

>>41372597
I'd agree, with the condition that she might need to shapeshift if her evolutions get bigger. Remember ultra-mega-underground Shelob early on?

Evolution time? Hmmm... lots of good choices. Looking forward to the vote

I will be sad if when we evolve we don't have ranks in the achievement "Carry the team".

And hopefully we'll see Jin's evolution today. Calling it now, Cliffhanger.

>>41372652
I, for one, am also against being that big.

>>41372524
A few have alternate forms rather than actual shapeshifting.

But the trade cities are built around catering to anyone and everyone- You don't need to worry about being too big for streets or anything like that.

>>41372667
>And hopefully we'll see Jin's evolution today.
Jin and Lyra might evolve together if we are lucky.

Worry wars momentarily with anger- That burning urge to have Sheszka in your hands, so you know she's safe, the absolute surety that you can protect her pushes against the writhing stream of fury that has you narrowing your eyes, smoke curling around you as you glare at the animal that dared to attack your friends.

The situation seems to even penetrate the monstrous skull of the bull, the beast's own fury tempered by your radiating enmity.

You uncurl your hands, chitin creaking gently as it's released from the pressure of your tightened fists, and step towards the bull.

The herd is in a full rout now- Bison bellow and flee all around you, though they make a wide berth around you as you head for their leader.
Above you, Jin screeches as she dives, the terrifying whistle-noise growing louder as she drops from the sky to rake anything that dares draw nearer to you. Sheszka is making her way towards the shore, a flash frozen bridge courtesy of her own power.

The stampede around you is growing, the thundering pound of hooves on the packed earth matching your own tremor-enhanced steps.
A bison breaks free of the crowded wave moving around you, throwing its head side to side as it charges, eyes rolling in fear.

You catch it, plucking it from the ground, your muscles offering a minor complaint as you heave it over the flow of beasts, the plaintive moo of your victim cut short as it collides with the bull, staggering the giant bison to one side.

You hiss a curt warning and charge.

You plow through the crowd, casting aside panicking creatures, emerging from the other side of them like a burning goddess of war, bearing down on the object of your rage with a noise dredged up from some fevered nightmare.

The bison tries to meet you, horns to your outstretched hands, but you're augmented by magic, by anger, by speed- by the utter certainty that this thing will never again bring harm to those around you.

45 and 90!

Writing!

So, we might as well plan what to do after the slaughter is over now, instead of it eating time later.

After we've recovered Shez and fussed over her, of course.

Since we've apparently slaughtered a couple dozen of these things, and it seems a bit shitty to just leave them to go to waste, I say we make a train.

Start with the bull and web its hind legs to the horns of the next biggest. Then the next biggest and so on. Not counting any that we tore apart or something.

Then tie a webline to the head of the bull and lash it to the 'horn' of our skullbutt. Then we drag the meat-train back to camp and have everyone stare at us wondering What The Fuck?

>>41373486
What about Griffon-eater?

No matter your determination, the bull is still a monstrous bison- In size, ability. In weight and power.

It slams into you, head lowered, abandoning its skittish indecision, fighting for its life.
You can feel your armour flex under its attack, driving the air from you, your limbs scrabbling a bit as you're pushed back.

The furrows you've left behind hiss, stone turning molten, sand and dirt burning away into glass.

The creature is starting to to reverse, trying to pull away from you, to charge again and again until it has driven you off-
You aren't a bull, or a bison.
And you don't fight like that.

Your arms wrap around the beast from above, enfolding it as beast you can.
It bleats, bellows as your claws dig in, your arms compressing it, muscles finally, truly burning as you hold it against yourself.

It tries to toss its head, to break free, but all it can manage is to score your armour, adding to your already considerable collection of dents and rips, a visible patchwork of your fights.

With a hiss of protest, you lift the creature.

It rises into the air tail first, legs kicking weakly as the blood rushes to its head.

Your legs flex gently, your power calls out the earth, stone beneath you hardening, layering over itself. You hiss once more, the sight of your waterlogged wolf reaching shore, her arm hanging at her side all the motivation you need.

Your arms tighten, shoulders taut, and you drive the beast face first into the ground.

The impact jars the earth itself, cracks horns, pulls another mooing bellow forth, the thump of the impact accompanied by the creak of bone.
And again.
And again.
And again.

>>41373732

You stop when the movement stops, dropping a shattered, limp body to the ground, your breathing heavy and laboured, sweat stinging your uppermost eyes, and you step around the body, ignoring the pooling blood to see to your sister.

Jin swoops in, alighting on your skull, still covered in the glow of her magic.

There are bodies strewn all around, and you leave them where they are as you move to the side of the injured wolf.
Who is looking away from you, to a scaly looking tentacle, dragging a carcass back to the water.

You stop and stare.

Aquatic monster is actually Shezka trying to carry a corpse out of the water.

Lyra terrifies her and scares her away.

Tiny snek doesn't belong on the ground in the middle of a rampaging herd.

>>41374327
Tiny snake is tiny, and this easy to lose track of in a battle.

>>41374458
Maybe we got angry because it's trying to steal something we made an effort to kill. We are also a giant spider and this is all our prey that no one else should take.

>>41374458
WE killed it
WE decide who get to eat it
or in other words >Scavengers fuck off!

>>41374458
Because the thing taking them is big and we fight big things.

>>41374458
Because manners! If they want some, they should speak up and ask somewhat-properly.
And if they're not sentient, then we can have some surf with our turf.

>>41374458
Because we just had a rough fight because our ruff got hurt.

>>41374458

>too many to eat
1. We are a giant spider.
2. What is jerky

>>41374644
>2. What is jerky
That's a good question, what IS jerky? How do you make jerky? Do WE know how to make jerky? Does anyone in the caravan know how to make jerky? Do people in this world call jerky by another name?

>>41374701
>>41374644
there is someone on the caravan who knows how to make jerky, but the logistic challenge of jerking this many bison ensures many of them will go bad.

Unless we succeed in a truly staggering eating challenge.

>>41374701

Do you really not know how to make jerky?

I thought that was one of things that everyone knew how to make.

>>41374701
Jerky is basically dried and smoked meat. But considering the sheer mass of meat here, it would take forever to prepare it all.

Better to drag it all back, butcher, cook and eat as much as possible, then get a great iron pot and stew as much meat as possible.

>>41374701
>Do WE know how to make jerky? Does anyone in the caravan know how to make jerky?
Lyra already ate jerky.

>>41374750
Just eat it. All of it. Suddenly unlock a big eater evolution.

>>41374728
>Do you really not know how to make jerky?
I have never had to dry and smoke any amount of meat because I am City-Scum.

But please, do tell the logistics of how to jerk meat so that we can figure out beforehand how to sent up an effective factory-line of jerky.

>>41374771
Must've forgot that.

>>41374784
This is a road you don't want to go down, anon.

>>41374794

To make jerky, you just cut thin strips of meat off of basically anything, lay it over something thin and elevated like string or a stick, and stick a fire about two or three feet under it.

Sunlight and smoke does all the rest, if you want any spices or something you either lather the meat with it, or put the spices in the fire, the sunlight dries the meat and the smoke either adds or seals in flavor.

It would usually take anywhere from a day to two days to be entirely cured in sunlight.

Ignoring the fact that your arms feel sort of like limp noodles, you manage to pull one up into the air, shaking it in a sedate imitation of anger as you voice your objections at the be-tentacled thief.

"Hey! HEY! THAT IS MINE, YES! I KILLED IT!"

Sheszka looks at you like you've finally lost it- which, to be honest, only makes you question her sanity. As far as your activities spider go, shouting at strange giant monsters barely registered.

Huh.

Now that you think about it, you're actually more concerned about your complete lack of concern.
You can probably excuse half of it with simple emotional burnout- Worrying about people takes a lot out of you. And the rest...
You guess giant monsters just don't register any more.

You file away that revelation to consider later. Maybe when you're rested and no longer feeling like you've been stretched thin.

The tentacle coils up and away from the bison, twisting over itself in some semblance of... and apology?
You blink slowly.

And then a thick, burbling sort of voice emerges from the lake.

"Ahhhhh- My apologies. I haaad thought that one would be of noooo concern."

You tilt your head to the side, make note of your continued lack of concern or surprise, and respond.
"That is- It is not the number, yes? There are more than enough. You should ask first. It is polite."

The voice- a male voice, as far as you can tell- in an underwater, giant monster sort of way- answers with a gurgling chuckle.
"I seeee. Usually there is moooore screaming."

>>41374894
oh, it's asking first.
Well, that's fine then.

>>41374894
The tentacle flips upwards, curling, a gesture reminiscent of an open hand, adding to the surreal nature of the whole scene.

"Theeeeen- May I?"

You wave towards the lake.
"Go ahead, yes."
"Mmmmmhm."

More tentacles join the first, and a few corpses are dragged into the water, vanishing below the surface, a single warbling "Thaaaank you" all the evidence that they were ever there.

And all the blood, you suppose.

The votes already been called, Don't be an idiot

You nod once to the now still lake.

Maybe you just won't ever swim again?
If something like that likes here, then the ocean...

Or maybe things like crocodiles in the sewers are a bit more real life, here.

You push it to the back of your mind.

There's things that actually require your attention. Namely, one wolf, specifically, Sheszka.
You skitter the last few steps to her side, one hand to her head, another to her shoulder. She sighs immediately, leaning into you, eyes downcast.

Her arm is- Well, it isn't the right colour. But there's no bone poking out, thankfully. A simple break, then?
You frown slightly, lips drawn and thin.

You do not, in fact, know the difference between a simple break and... whatever other kinds of breaks there are.

"Are you okay?"
The wolf looks up, her face a little pale, eyes still unwilling to meet yours.
"Aside from the arm, yes? You are not hurt anywhere else?"

She shakes her head.
"I am sorry. Lyra."

You're fairly certain you know what's coming.

"I failed. I was- I wasn't-"

You scoop her up. Giant or not, you can still hold her. Even if your arms are a little strained right now.
"Shush, you. You were cocky, yes? You ran in without thinking."
"... Mm."
"Then learn from it. You are still alive. You didn't fail anyone."

You ruffle her hair gently, reaching up and past her sodden bangs to scratch at her ears.
"Yes, alpha."

You sigh.
"Stop that. Someone will look at you back at the caravan, yes."

The trip back took less time than organizing the bison in a way you could manage.
At the end, you wound up hauling a train of the things back to the road, then alongside it- Till you reached the caravan.
And then, of course, comes all the explaining.
"This is hunting?"

"Yes?"

>>41376186
Kenzington has his arms over his chest. He did let you take Sheszka to Nin and the other healers, and Jin just sort of escaped, but you're stuck here owning up to everything, now.

Technically, Ezzy is there. But she's sleeping, so it doesn't count.

"In what way is this sorta thing hunting?"
"...I will be eating them?"
"This many."
"I got a bit angry, yes? When Sheszka got hurt."

He sighs, rubbing at his temples.
"People're already worried about the earthquakes. Bloody-"
"That was probably me."
"What."
"Yes."

"I- just. Okay."

Though, we have to make sure there's enough meat in each meat shake to neutralize the dissolving agent.

>>41376209
>Cook. Cook for everyone.

>>41376363

Thats true, we have to look for the person with the sturdiest looking stomach around and experiment how much we need.

>>41376249
Seconding the Jerky.

I can't see why she would have a dramatic reaction to giant monsters any more.

How many has she met now? How many of them did she kill and eat?

Giant monsters aren't news in and of themselves.

A bit of reflection and a whole lot of cooking bison.

I now give you this mental image.

Lyra in a singed and flour-caked apron with a tray of meat-shakes and some burnt bread.

>>41376716
She can both bake bread in clay ovens, and cook meat on stone slabs.
If she could curtail her own hunger she could be a very successful chef.

>>41376753
Still, the image of her as she is trying to cook is just humorous.
and kind of cute

>>41376414

A brief question:
> WHY IN THE HELL ISN'T NIN BEING INVOLVED?

She's kind of our healer/in need of things to do. Also, we might want to talk to giant octopus bro. Apparently we know speak octopus. This is news.

>>41376900
We speak the language of eight limbs duh.

>>41376900
A brief question:
> WHY IN THE HELL ISN'T NIN BEING INVOLVED?

>He did let you take Sheszka to Nin and the other healers
>Nin and the other healers

>>41376900
>>41376929
eight limb brotherhood.
Though for real, nin is probably involved, and will be there if and when we check.

>>41376900
>> WHY IN THE HELL ISN'T NIN BEING INVOLVED?
She is.
>He did let you take Sheszka to Nin and the other healers, and Jin just sort of escaped, but you're stuck here owning up to everything, now.
We were simply forced to explain events to Kenzington, instead of relentlessly bothering the healers and Nin with questions about Shezka's wellbeing.

Apologies. The mention of Nin was just so minor that I ended up skipping over those two words. Was expecting something more substantive, like reactions from the tiny fluffy one rather than a blanket inclusion.

I MADE IT TO ONE OF THESE! YES!

>>41377527
Tell me about it. I missed the last 2 because of scheduling.
Also, we're on nearing-300-post semi hush right now.

You spend the next bit alongside the wagons, hauling your dinner-
And likely, everyone else' dinner as well.

As the light dims, tents are pitched, the wagons drawn into a circle. Fires are set up- some for cooking, some for light and warmth. The watch goes out, posted to the edge of the tents, sitting and waiting and hoping there'll be no trouble.

Sheszka, Nin, Jin- They all turn up eventually, the owl swooping in to be fed before her shift, Nin accompanying the now sling-bound wolf.

And you work quietly, your thoughts far too loud.

Some bison is set aside. A burger would be nice. But you'll need to grind up the meat. And cheese. Cheese is important. And bread. You could probably cook bread. Given ingredients. And instructions. And an oven with good airflow and an even temperature.

For now, though-

For now, everyone gets steaks.

A rather vast metal plate lies before you, suspended over a pair of rocks, a fire billowing merrily beneath it.
Above it, fat and juices spit and trickle everywhere, the sizzle of cooking beef bringing half the camp to wait just outside your firelight.

You focus as you cook, handing out thick, seared slabs of steak, muttered thanks slowly being accompanied by a growing sound of chatter and cheer.

For you, though...

Well, there's the matter with the lake monster, to start.
When did it get to the point where you can encounter giant monsters without blinking? Even talking ones?
You would think that you would start at that, usually? Probably?

"What are you worrying about?"
"Huh?"

You blink slowly, another steak poised over the grill.

Nin is at your side, watching you with her head perched on her hands, Sheszka snoring gently beside her, the wolf curled around her own arm to protect it.

"I said, what are you worrying about?"
You pause a moment.
"Was- Was all that out loud?"
"Out quiet, mostly."
"Ah."

>>41377561
You repress the urge to blush.
"Then- You know what I am worrying about, yes?"
"I don't understand why, though?"
"Why not?"
"Lyra- You know you are a giant monster, right?"

"What?"

"You- You are a giant monster."
"Wha- I am not that big, yes?"
"What about compared to me? To a human? Ezzy?"
"Eh- I mean, that is not-"
"It is absolutely the same."

"Maybe."
"Mhm." Is all the response she gives to that.

"Anyway, that doesn't explain why I'm not afraid of the other ones, yes? The ones bigger than me!"
"How many 'giant monsters' have you hunted now?"
"Uh-"
"Well?"
"A few?"
"A lot."
"Okay."

This is one of those arguments you can't win, isn't it? You have a feeling that dissuading Nin isn't going to happen.

"So, why would you be afraid of them?"
"Er."
"You hunt and eat them."

You make to scratch your head, but you catch yourself at the last second.
You don't want the blood and fat and grease in your hair.

"And-"
"Okay, yes?"
"Okay?"

She turns to face you, antennae bouncing as she looks you in the eyes.
"I understand, yes? So... thank you."
"Mhm. You can talk to me, okay? Don't worry about things by yourself."
"I'll- I'll keep it in mind."
"I can be your advisor as well as your herald, and-"

You had a headache by the time you dragged her off to bed.

>>41377561
shut up nin, we can't think quietly and cook simultaneously.

>>41377592

>I just want us to not change incredibly drastically.
By REQMs system, we are now at the "solidify specilisation" stage, so we aren't going to change that drastically no matter what evolution, except maybe the magic one.

We are not a mage, Hopefully anons understand that and don't be stupid

>>41377641
Oh boy, here we go.

______________________________________________________________

YOU HAVE EXCEEDED THE MINIMUM REQUIRED LEVEL


RANK UP IS NOW POSSIBLE


This is new.

The voice's echo fades in your head, your dream, but-

Hm.

You're in a darkened room. Sort of. You can't feel any floor. And it doesn't seem enclosed, either. A darkened space, maybe? But magical darkness, as you also can't see anything at all past your own nose.

You call up a burst of flame, using your hand like a torch- And all it really does is impress you with the sheer oppressiveness of the dark surrounding you. You can see your hand, limned in fire.

And nothing else.

Wait.

No, there is something...

You squint, but that doesn't offer you any real improvements to your vision. Beyond where you're standing- or floating, or whatever- There's six points of light. Pinpricks in the infinite shadows of this place, but still-

You make your way closer, halting a few times- Moving feels weird for some reason. Off.
You start and stop a few times, trying to put your finger on it when it finally hits you, sending a chill down your spine-

It feels like you're moving with two legs again. And eight. At the same time. A phantom response, a ghostly, half-second late sensation of knees and ankles and feet, toes splaying against the ground and pushing off.

You shiver again, suddenly aware of how soft your hands feel, the distinct sensation of two sets of eyes blinking, of your tongue across your teeth and your fangs simultaneously.

You try to shrug it off, moving towards the lights, each a static, shimmering point in the well of darkness around you.
You reach the first, and your hand moves forwards, fingers outstretched towards it, the twitch of static pulsing through you as you touch it.

There's a brilliant moment of whiteness in your head, as everything is pushed aside- your twinned sensations, your feelings, all your vague worries and confusion-

This is probably going to be our last evo for a while isn't it? The next will be like a whole 2-3 arcs away.

>>41377641

>gets out note taking pen.

>>41377725
>We are not a mage, Hopefully anons understand that and don't be stupid
I meant more the ones like Cinder Arachne and such. Not directly "mage evolution"

>>41377709
>solidify specialisation
So we tankbutt now, right? Since we always go in hard and fight for our friends?

>>41377750
We've been tankbutt since we turned red and got a skull.

>>41377731
And it's replaced by heat. By the quick flaring burn of fire, by strength, the smouldering power of your own form incomparable to what you had even as an arachne. Though all is still darkness around you, there's the sensation of submissiveness from the shadows. As though they were bowing. And it feels... it feels right. As though they should bow. To your strength, to you. You yell, and your voice echoes in the air, the tone of it driving into your followers, your worshippers, and they respond. Instantly, immediately.

Your hand snaps away from the light, and the sensation fades, leaving only the memory of a name.

TYRANT ARACHNE.

You skitter and step away, trying to find your breath, and run straight into another light.

This one feels more familiar- you still can't see, but the forest is all around you. Somehow.
Each step hammers the ground, each breath is a rasping promise to every creature around. That you are the greatest of them- An alpha predator. Unafraid. Unstoppable. Your head swings around as you scent something, blood and meat and fur- Muscles tense, chitin clicks, your body more powerful than ever before, lungs swelling-
The air leaves you all at once, a roar blasting through the leaves, a primal sound of fury and bloodlust, a warning and an oath.

That you are here, that you are-

You stumble away, blinking the sensations away as your had clears from the heady feeling of the hunt.

DEINOS ARACHNE.

You can't help but wonder if you'll remember any of this come morning.

You spend a second, letting your heartbeat slow, looking to the other twinkling lights.
Each point a new form.

You step forward again, bracing yourself, for all it's worth.

>>41377750
>So we tankbutt now, right?
Grave Arachne was the "hunt and kill huge things" evolution.
We are somewhat tankbutt since the first though.

>>41377760
The next is sweltering heat, so thick that the air itself feels heavy, your lungs more like the bellows of a forge than delicate organs meant to draw breath. You exhale, and you can feel, rather than see- a thick plume of smoke escaping your throat. Your hands clench, and you can feel answers- not just the push and pull of your muscles, but the thunder of the flow of earth, somewhere deep and far away. The rumble of stone against stone, the pressurized surge of liquid rock, the heat of it, not just below, but in your veins, the tremor that is your heartbeat, answered by the earth. The slow movement of your power, before all at once-

You're released from the spark, dazed all the same, the beat of your furnace heart still echoing int your ears.

CINDER ARACHNE.

You toss your head, hair shifting as you move to the next.

As your fingers close over this the orb, a sense of weight falls over your shoulders- Not something physical, but rather- The knowledge, the feeling of something. Responsibility? You feel light on your feet. Strong. There are shadows behind you- People to protect. But there are others- at your sides, before you, all around, each waiting for your words. Your voice feels strong. Like your words are backed by not just your intent, your promises, but something else. All around you, shades move as you speak, and you raise your own weapons, power swelling in them-

It feels like there's something at your brow, but as you brush it away the phantom feeling recedes.

SOVEREIGN ARACHNE.

You grimace at the name, moving again to touch another spark.

Wow these are kinda sinister.

>>41377794
Yes, we are a giant predatory spider. Glad you could join us.

>>41377793

This time, the ringing is in your ears, twitching in time with phantom sounds, the feel of metal before you, around you. Your breathe is sparks, your hands hammers. You are a forge, an anvil. Things form beneath your fingers, and you wield your own creations with all the skill of someone who knows them inside and out. The fire inside you burns slow, growing welling up until you're incandescent, blazing-

All the air escapes your lungs at once as you stagger to the next spark, the sensation of heat still oozing off you.

HEARTH ARACHNE.

You can't- You can't quite remember the last times. The evolutions, growths, whatever you want to call them.
But you're fairly certain they weren't like this? If you really concentrate, you don't remember any choices. Just- Just the voice, and an offer, and waking to a new body.

You frown, and reach for the last spark.

This one- this feels like yourself. Like you are. But not quite. Like you're- Like you are sharper, and there's an oppressive sort of feeling...
There's something on your hands. And your head, too. Horns? And something glimmering. And a feeling- You push at it, with your will, your power, and it expands, becoming, changing- You feel invincible, strong, armed and armoured. Like nothing can stop you, nothing can face you. You raise your weapons, a piece of you, now more than ever.

The feeling fades slowly, like an image that had overlapped your own slowly vanishing.
Your hands close gently, the sensation of the weapons still there.

GRAVE LORD ARACHNE.

You look up again after a short while, still trapped amidst the shadows.
But around you-

Around you, the sparks have started to cluster, spinning, turning- Each staying just within reach.
It's obvious what they want. A choice.
You have to make a choice.

>CINDER ARACHNE.

SOVEREIGN ARACHNE sounds best!

>>41377839
Hey retardo, no voting until :49.

>>41377856

>>41377814
either tyrant or grave lord, for me.

so, tyrant, but grave lord if it winds up being a tie breaker.

Not voting yet because it's not time to vote yet, but what do you guys think? we got 20 minutes to discuss before we gotta vote.

>>41377814
Discussion starts now. There'll be another post when voting begins.
I'll answer questions as necessary.

20 minutes to go.

>HEARTH ARACHNE
WE MASTER WEAPONSMITH OF BEST WEAPONS NOW

Deinos sounds most like us since we ARE the alpha predator, We always have been

>>41377868
Would any choices, cinder especially, make us physically weaker in exchange for a boost in other areas?

Definitely not feeling the Grave Lord, the Cinder, Sovereign and Tyrant are kinda appealing though.

Also feel like this is kinda appropriate right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htDB8SuLrng&ab_channel=Catbus

I suppose Tyrant doesnt have much chance, since most will find it too bad.

Deino is basically the advancedform of what we are right now, even bigger predator spider.
Which is awesome, IMO.

Cinder is just Lava spider, you like it or you don't.

Sovereign. Oh god. Nin.
But honestly that sort of leadership doesn't seem like something Lyra has done before, she leads from the front, she isn't really a "give orders and organise" sort of giant spider.

Hearth. Hephaistos spider, fuck yeah.

Grave Lord is just the Lord evolution. Eh. Too generic for me.

Honestly DEINOS sound the most like Lyra to me. Find big things and eat them

>>41377814
>SOVEREIGN ARACHNE

You know you want it Lyra.

Oh wow, they all sound awesome.

So, I'm thinking either Cinder, Soveriegn or Grave Lord.
Cinder because more fire is always good.
Sovereign because being queen is ievitable.
Grave Lord sounds real fuckin Nito.I'm not sorry.

okay, so, what are each of the forms?

Tyrant is just us, but bigger and smashier.
Grave lord is us with horns and better skills.

What the fuck is deinos? And sovereign? I guess sovereign is if we want to diplomacy things.

>>41377868
How long till the next evo after this?

>>41377868

I'm going with either tyrant or deinos, whichever seems to be doing the best.

I'm liking Tyrant, myself. Although, I'll admit, I still enjoy the idea of Lyra being NANOMACHINES.

>>41377915
>>41377856
I want to remind everyone to keep their windows closed and the light on to keep infiltrating moths away from their computers.

>>41377935
isn't tyrant the NANOMACHINES option?
Because I am choosing that one currently.

I like deinos and sovereign, but I definitely feel sovereign would be the better choice for us in the long run, building off that protector blessing and all that.

>>41377919
No tyrant is the first thing, Deinos is the bigger form

>>41377868
How is voting going to work, do we get one choice, or can we vote for several things? Or do you make it FD style?

>>41377950
Sorry, that was what I meant. My wording may have been strange.

>CINDER ARACHNE
We will be the warmest spiderbutt.
We will celebrate by having hambuggahs
on the mobile grill that is our spiderbutt

I love of the whole Tyrant description and then we go right back to being Lyra.

A massive being of pure Terror! A horrid spider with earth and fire at her call!

"Hello! Why are you cowering yes?"

Guys reread, The descritption comes FIRST for the thing and then the name

>>41377955
>building off that protector blessing
All the options do that. None of them prevent us from being a protector.

>>41377950
>isn't tyrant the NANOMACHINES option?
No Deino is more that. Tyrant is more the "FEAR ME" option.
I'm pretty sure Deino has the higher physical stats.

The Soverign seems like we give buffs to people we lead into battle.

definitely don't want the Lord as skills are something we can pick up on our own but new special abilities are not.

Guys.

With Hearth Arachne

We can make all of the bestest weapons


and be forgespider supreme

>>41377961
Tyrant is the smashier big form.
Deimos is the dodgier big form.
I choose the smashy big form.

I'm honestly not feeling Sovereign.
Being responsible and stuff honestly doesn't seem all that fitting or interesting.
I do like the smithing stuff, but I don't want to focus our evolution around it.
Grave Lord is just a bit boring I think.


Cinder sounds pretty cool, Deinos is pretty damn metal and Tyrant is kind of awesome.

>>41377955
Well, some say the best defense is a good offense
>proactive spiderbutt, anyone?
>preferably using fire?

>>41378010
>Tyrant is the smashier big form.
>Deimos is the dodgier big form.
I don't think thats what it is. Tyrant seems more like a hybrid of Deino and Sovereign.

>>41378004
I am pretty sure tyrant is the one with the STR, and deinoss the one with the AGI.

>>41378010
You obviously didn't read, Tyrant is just making others submit, Not smashier

I like sovereign, that looks like it has our protection blessing coupled with additional party buffs. Go full paladin.

I choose Soveriegn.

Behold the Purple Skull.

Nah, Deinos seems to be the NANOMACHINES option. Tyrant seems to be more like an aggressive leader equivalent to sovereign's more defensive leader. So I'd assume things like attack buffs for our allies and stuff.

>>41378008
No that 's Sovereign, Hearth is being the weapons....all the weapons.

>>41378010
I honestly got the impression that tyrant was the more intimidating form, while deinos was the 'rawr ima dino' form.

Let's break it down:
> TYRANT ARACHNE
Sovereign type alpha, force of presence to cow threats, probably physical stat increased
> DEINOS ARACHNE
Primitive alpha. Physical stat boost a definite but costs us a degree of refinement.
> CINDER ARACHNE
Pure elemental, though predominantly focused on base elements of fire and earth
> SOVEREIGN ARACHNE
A leader class based around giving people bonuses
> HEARTH ARACHNE
Metalline elemental variant. Probably gives adept control over metal bending in real time.
> GRAVE LORD ARACHNE
Weapon use focused, described as basically being Lyra as she is now but with general stat upgrades.

Deino seems like it's got more sensory packages and fighting fury than actual smashyness, though.

>>41378040
I have to agree. I would prefer Lyra to be an inspirational leader, like the queen of England rather than a machiavellian tyrant

>>41378038
>I am pretty sure tyrant is the one with the STR, and deinoss the one with the AGI.
Doesn't seem to suggest that to me, nothing suggest particular strength about Tyrant and Deino is clearly "super stronk"-the evolution.

Better just ask REQM

>>41377868
Is Tyrant the Strength evo to Deinos Dexterity evo, or is it more a Sovereign/Deino hybrid?

>>41378041
Fuck off nin, It's being the weak leader in the back option and is fucking shit

>>41378049
I dibnt think of it that way, I was thinking Tyrant as in Dinosaur Terrible Lizards but aggressive leadership makes sense, leading from the front and all.

>>41378056
I think Tyrant is intimidating, while Deinos is even more of the Apex Predator thing.

>>41378069
Deinos description included earth-shaking footsteps, which seems to suggest that it's pretty smashy

>>41378069
>Deino seems like it's got more sensory packages and fighting fury than actual smashyness, though.
It also got that, but it gets that instead of Tyrants social parts.
Deino is the Alpha Predator option, I think its pretty safe to assume it got the highest physical stats, or at least equal to anything else.

WE WERE NEVER A LEADER! LYRA NEVER WANTED TO BE A LEADER!

I don't really like the intimidating OR the alpha predator angle, though.

So I guess I have to go with grave lord.
Because I am about us getting more smashlike and better for a good foight.

Hearth arachne might be interesting
>metalbender when?

>>41378053
No? Sovereign is clearly the leadership form.
Hearth is the forge.

>>41378115

>Lyra has a fucking party and is the leader

Lyra is a leader.

>>41378115
>WE WERE NEVER A LEADER! LYRA NEVER WANTED TO BE A LEADER!
The latter is true, the former is not.

>>41378119
>Because I am about us getting more smashlike
That would be Deino though. The difference between Deino/Tyrant and Lord is probably Stats vs Skills.

>>41378065

My vote would be for Grave Lord, with the hopes that the remaining templates we've unlocked account for what we miss. We generally act more as a weapons user than anything else.

DEINOS is too primitive. TYRANT sounds too sinister. SOVEREIGN places us in a support role which we won't use properly. CINDER and HEARTH, while they have my heart haven't been things we've had the wherewithal to use lately.

Damm, Tyrant or Deino here.
Soveriegn lost my vote because I do enjoy the whole everyone fearing the giant monster to avoid all queen responsibilities.
