>>35857
Fine by me. Let's see if others think it's a good idea.

Loxo or war ents.

(War ents are if ISIS was a bunch of trees and loved nature a ton)

>>35771
I like this. Supporting. But we will need to find a way to protect our people from snatched at night.

>>36020

Seconding either of these.

You guys do realize there's already a mindflayer quest in circulation right now.

>>36014
Enlighten me, loxo?

>>36052

Humanoid elephants.

Perfect if you want to be warmonger hulks, or peaceful Not!Buddhists.

I also say we're either in the jungle (smaller Borneo elephant) or tundra mammoths.

unseen forest.

Please remember to use different dice modifiers based upon stats.

>>36133

Why do we keep voting unseen?

Like the one guy said, there's already a regular mindflayer civ going on right now!

Alright, we have two votes for unseen forest and two for war ents, location undetermined. Probably forest.

>>36269

the OP decides. I just thought that there was a gridlock.

I will stay no matter what happens. (and will lose my name soon), if others care about something then I change to suit them for this pick.

>>36333

OP, decided between ent ISIS and a second mindflayer quest.

You are Qorixx, a leader among the Unseen, a particularly charismatic example of the species, an exemplar of your kind. You've spent the last twenty years finding others of your kind, banding together in hopes of a better life. You've managed to get 18 adults together, of mixed gender with a slight male majority, and five children.

You've tried settling in more peaceable places, but the inhabitants, upon discovering your true nature, have always driven you out. So here you stand, at the eave of Farald, the ancient, tainted wood. Gnarled trees rise high, casting gloomy shadows. A fitting place for 'your kind'.

There's mountains to the east. You passed through a plain to get to Farald, the dull long grass extending as far as the eye can see to the south.

What will your folk do?

A: Start building shelters.

B: Start exploring.

C: Other, make suggestions.

Roll a d20, highest one wins.

((I have little clue what Unseen are, so if there's already existing fluff on them, do tell.))

Unseen are much like the monsters in Lovecraft as just looking at their real face can cause insanity. So the Unseen have super good magic that can make them look like anything they want depending on the leave of skill.
>Also The Unseen are very good at getting things of weaker will. (Mostly everything) to do what they want.

>>36527
Crit!

Your folk cut down some trees, making a small clearing in the woods, and soon some decent houses begin to emerge. One of your people has experience as a carpenter, so it goes a bit smoother then it might have otherwise.

As an pleasant surprise, your mages manage to put protective wards on your homes. While anything really nasty and powerful can get through, the lesser nasties ought to be kept out.

You decide to get a better feel for the forest. Your explorations take you the length and breadth of the forest... and into a few close encounters with some of it's monsters. You also find a relatively pure river coming down from the mountains on your explorations...

You don't think you explored the whole forest, though. It has many more secrets you must discover if you are to prosper. On another note, one of your villagers appears to be sick.

She is quarantined, and he begins his research. He confirms that it doesn't appear to be contagious, and that she's suffering from nausea and vomiting. He claims to have a theory, but that he'll need another week to determine if it's correct.

And a last minute high roll confirms the course.

Skizzel is pleased at your acceptance, though he gives the ominous warning, "If my theory is correct, we're all going to feel very... stupid."

The week goes by quietly. Food is gathered, although your meager starting sources will run low soon. Wood is gathered, and another house constructed. An angry/insane ghost of the departed tries to force it's way into a house, but is defeated by the wards and then shooed off by your magic users.

Finally, Skizzel comes to you near the end of the week, looking embarassed. He straightens up, coughs, and puts on a serious look. "My lord Qorixx. We are a normally solitary people. We know little of ourselves, and how our own forms operate. We have had little chance, and our deficiency in knowledge is shameful. We don't even have the knowledge to determine when one of us is pregnant."

There's a pause as it sinks in. Then the two of you look sheepishly at each other, and then go to release the woman. Everyone involved makes a pact to forget this ever happened.

Research Tools

You decide that, since you have confirmed population growth, you should find more reliable food. You recall something odd you saw in the plains as you came near Farald. Following a hunch, you revisit that area.

Your hunch was right.

Lumbering, shaggy beasts twice as tall as a man roam the tall grass, munching peacefully on it. It doesn't take too much effort to get a couple of the docile beasts to follow you back to the village.

The rest of the week is spent making an enclosure for the five creatures, one that will hold them. They ought to give good meat, milk, and hide. You aren't sure, but they might be able to serve as beasts of burden.

You think on your embarrassing incident earlier, and decide you don't want it to happen again. You find Skizzel, an oddly difficult task. You make your request of him, that he look into your own biology.

He accepts with almost indecent haste, and you end up recruiting/pressganging some random villagers for 'test subjects'. Miraculously, none die. Three will need a couple month's rest before they're able to do anything.

You now have a basic understanding of Unseen biology, a foundation to build off of. This will give a slight resistance to disease an an equally slight bonus to healing and recovery.

You do something you probably should have done when you first arrived, and begin setting up some defenses. You construct a palisade around your eleven house village, leaving plenty of space to build more, with one gap between the two to serve as an entrance and exit.

You decide that it'd be best if you learned about the local fauna. A team stealthily searches the forest near the camp, recording what they find. You now have some knowledge about the habits, lairs, and food sources of the creatures, supernatural or otherwise, in a rough one mile area around your village.

You also decide it'd be best if you knew what exactly you have penned in your village. You discover you have four females and one male among them, and that the females produce a moderately unpleasant, but nutritious, milk. Your workers have begun calling them Tarrax. An experiment proves their worth as beasts of burden.

You decide, after that disappearance, that you need fortification. After a few failed false starts, you get a gate open, and set two villagers to guard it at all times. No one gets in or out without them knowing it. You also set to work on some parapets, and have a couple more villagers patrolling them. The next level of building up adds two more houses for future growth and a town hall.

The enhanced defenses sooth the fear that was brought on by the missing villager, Genxi.

Your three able mages come to you one day for a council. They look serious. "Lord Qorixx. I'll be blunt, we are vulnerable." An old one nods. "Correct. We need to be able to protect ourselve, especially since new life is growing within dear Eeleeia." You agree with them, and set plans for the research of golems.

To your luck, the local wood seems especially suited to making golems, responding both well and easily to it. Soon you have two dozen wood golems protecting your village, replacing the guards at the gate and parapets.

The people feel very secure and happy, and you can hear the distinct 'Skuvv' sound of Unseen fornication. Seems your mages have gotten lucky tonight...

The votes point towards hiding and seeing what comes out, with a side of illusion to make a big impression. Writing now.

You see it's a caravan of nomadic humans, travelling to some location or another. They seem fearful, casting gazes at the dark forest that is still within view.

An attempt at illusion magic to make a celestial fails horribly, resulting in him looking like a winged, dragonlike demon with a squid face that unnerves everyone who sees it. It's quickly undone, and you decide to just disguise yourself as humans, something you're old hat at.

You make an offer. You offer to let them settle down with you, as your people aren't many.

Your charisma seems to have won most of them over, especially the caravan's youths, who seem to think the idea of not moving around constantly is nice. The elder leader seems unconvinced though.

"Who are you, to suggest this? Who are you, to try and change out way of life? How would we truly benefit? Protection? We have our own warriors."

You're going to have to sweeten the deal. What do you offer?

I would also like to remind everyone that they are still under the belief we are human, and that they are bound to find out our lies sooner or later, just saying.

Confirmed.

You point out that golems are superior to normal guards, and that you have more golems then they have guards... you also mention that you've got plenty of resources back home.

The caravan is hooked, although the leader is not. However, he comes out seeming like a stubborn old codger. By this point, he can either choose to agree with you and keep some measure of authority and his family with him, or he can leave. He chooses the former.

You send a runner back to the village with news of this, followed shortly by the caravan. A tremendous victory!

Now, how do you accommodate them? Do you stay looking human at all times now?

Confirming, writing now.

The journey is decent enough, and you even manages to snag another Tarrax along the way, a lone bull. The caravan folks grow wary as you approach the forest, but you manage to calm them down by saying that you know and are attempting to tame it. There's still some wariness, though...

Soon your lot are at the village. About forty nomads all in all, are unimpressed by the lone hut the villagers have set up by now, outside the palisade. It's a bit strange, seeing humans instead of Unseen about.

You invite them into the village to have a look-see at the village, planning to reveal your true forms to them. Honesty is the best policy, right? So despite the urgings of your mages and advisors, you drop the illusions. All at once.

The humans panic. Swords are drawn, and they look ready to fight their way out of the village.

What do you do?

(Breaktime for me. Be back in about an hour. Enjoy your cliffhanger.))

Oh. Simple drama ending crit. Fuck.

>>39502
Add a little spice if you like. Also, is it a real gif or a single image saved as a gif?

The scene is ready to explode into violence. Golems are readied, children wail in fear, magic is prepared...

Then an unseen kid walks up to the humans. His mother wails in fear and orders him to come back. He looks at the bemused humans and asks, "Why can't we be friends?"

You, seeing an opportunity, cut in. "Yes, why can't we? We didn't lie to you, we meant every word. We mean you no harm..." Your words are persuasive, and combined with the innocent kid, you win them over. Most of them over.

The leader screams, "They're lying, don't let them get to you!" He charges a golem, which responds in turn. It doesn't end well for him...

There's a silence. You bow your head, in apparent sorrow for his death. Weapons are slowly lowered. Magic dissipates... Thanks to a little kid, now being smothered by his mother, the standoff is over.

What do you do next?

A: Begin building housing for them.

B: Extend the palisade to cover said housing.

C: Search for more Tarrax in the plains, you'll need more food to feed them.

And it's unneeded anyway.

You decide that housing the influx is important, and that the palisade can wait. The men get to construction swiftly, living in their tents until all the houses are built. The conditions are cramped, but by the end of the week none have to live in tents. Two disappear mysteriously over the week...

You estimate that there's about forty humans all told. Men, women, children. You find out that they even have a still! It doesn't make that good alcohol, but it's alcohol.

In the middle of the week, just after sundown, you're treated to a lightshow. Mysterious lights, of all colors of the rainbow, bob and weave in the forest, most following no discernable pattern. Many people end up watching it...

One white light seems to stand out to you, as you could swear it seems to be moving in a meaningful pattern... you just can't discern the meaning.

What will you do?

A: Extend the palisade

B: Build more houses so they aren't as packed in

C: Explore; Forest, Mountains, Plains

D: Get more Tarrax

E: Other

You fucking fools. Did any of you read the actual traits of Unseen? They are physically the weakest, and literally rely on illusions and diplomacy.

Huge emphasis on the part that says we suffer diplomacy penalties if our true form is revealed to non-followers. I guess you could say the nomads are already followers, though. Either way, in the future I think it best to wait until you're certain you've got them charmed before revealing your true form.

I vote for researching illusion magic. It's our main asset, we need to know more about it.

>>39609
Confirmed.
>>39631
I DID warn them. I planned to make them suffer for that, but... dat crit doe

Not enough of a cunt to still do it after that.Also, you want to vote, grab a d20.

The disappearances spur you into action. THe men are growing less and less happy, thanks to both cramped living space and the disappearances. If you don't act, they might leave. So you act. The palisade is extended around the new human homes. Parapet, gate, golem guards, the whole ball of wax.

Your settlement has grown, and some of the mages have asked for permission to make some more golems. Meanwhile, some of the villagers, human and Unseen, think that there should be a town hall. Your food stores have grown strained, as six Tarrax aren't enough to feed this many people. One of them has been slaughtered for meat.

You decide that the food issue is the most pressing matter. You send out some teams of human hunters into the woods. It... doesn't go very well. Four teams sent out. One returns with nothing at all, one member dead and two more injured. One returns with some small game. One returns with a large buck. One fails to return at all...

Some humans are roped into cutting trees down for golems. Three more are made during the week. In addition, two Unseen women appear to be pregnant. The previously pregnant woman, Eeleeia, is becoming obviously pregnant.

You decide to start rationing food, and in a show of good faith both Unseen and Humans have equal amounts of food per person.

You at first thing about trying to make some farms, but quickly run into an obstacle... What are you going to farm? A lack of anything to farm stymies you in that endeavour.

Instead, for now, you seek out Skizzel. You give him permission to 'discover' things about human physiology and pass his disappearance off as just another mystery...

You learn some things from this, the basics of human biology. Skizzel is merciful enough to quickly kill him before cutting him up. His body is buried anonymously in the forest.

You now have the same slight resistance to disease and slight bonus to healing applying to humans as well.

One of your Tarrax has given birth to a healthy calf. In other news, a rumor is spreading among the humans that Unseen only eat special food, labeled 'Yams' by them. Nobody has heard of these before, human or unseen.

Alright, choice locked. I'll be leaving for the night soon.

Rather then try and deal with the growing shortage of food, you decide to hone and refine your knowledge of illusions. One of your mages suggests study of 'breeding', particularly the breeding of Xorrboz and Feeala. He was promptly whapped on the head and his idea vetoed.

Your knowledge is grown by their experiments and attempts, resulting in a permanent modifier when attempting illusions, increasing your chances of success.

In other news, a human woman has given birth and three humans have taken the still and started an inn near the gates of the village, naming it the 'Jolly Ghost Inn'.
