>The Goddess of Creation has created an alternate plane of existence, an empty domain of void yet to be filled.
>As a side effect of this dimension's creation, you were created.

>You are a demigod of creation, a being born with innate knowledge and arcane power.
>It feels only right to fill this void with your own creations.

Pick a tile, and describe what you'd like to create here. This may change the terrain, the sky, the environment, what happens whens someone enters it, may have structures or life, your imagination is the limit.

Have fun, demigods.

The void flux fails to shift the Spider Queen's domain, but nevertheless causes a violent upheaval in hex 0713. A domain of land coalesces in the aether and becomes quickly shredded and jagged as countless spears of both clear and cloudy crystal burst forth, forming themselves into a sharp, gleaming mountain. Within these crystals dance motes of multicolored light that pulse and interact with one another, seemingly sentient in spite of their form.

OP is awake!

>>2275153
The black areas are places where, no matter what level of arcane abilities you harness, you find it impossible to create anything within. This is an alternate dimension of the material plane, in which the strength of the oceans break up arcane energy and make it impossible to build in their relative position in this dimension.
1613 is a space where another demigod has begun building, populating the region with crystalline and stone islands that float in the void, with an endless upside down city on a ceiling that spans across the region's sky.

Protea's domain expands to the region.

>>2275163
Undead raise from the grounds in 1531, continuing on to roam and wander its perimeter.

>>2275165
The enormous lake forms beside what you'd see to be a hivemind forest, with its river making its crawl upwards to Protea's domain. You push the river a good ways towards it, but don't find enough strength to immediately create the whole thing.

>>2275178
Thernax successfully raises his immense mountain, brimming with the new shimmering Jold metal beneath its surface.

>>2275201
The Bulgeria demigod creates an animal farm to the west, as well as a region Vegetafrica to the south east, in which the Bergeria kingdom captures its people to breed.

>>2275234
The Spider Queen begins her new colony where her spiderlings gather resources from a titanic forest. Your spidersilk-sail ships would discover a shifted-reality mechanism, using the power of the waves from the material plane to carry the weight of your ships above the endless starry void.

>>2275275
The Void Flux indeed does fail to take over The Spider Queen's domain. Additionally, you would find it impossible to shift disconnected hex to the mainland.
However, The Void Flux does succeed in formulating its land and mountain of jagged crystalline spears. It's sentient sprites of light wander this region amongst one another, finding their place in their new existence.

Demigod's name: The voice
The Demigod referred to as a voice didn't come out right. Their mind was warped and twisted from isolation and loneliness caused by existing in this bodyless state there they couldn't sense a thing, their mind wasn't used to godhood like their siblings. To preserve their sanity they filled a piece of land with strange red flora and fauna all connected by psionic xenofungus which connects all of the life spawned by the voice and acts as a neural network. The voice seeks to enter the physical realm at least partially to preserve his sanity

Thernax drags his influence towards 0914, changing the regions to hills, and populating them with a species of furred animals named The Poddox. They are fat grazing creatures that look more like pigs with thick pelts of varying colors, from white, to brown, to black, or mottled forms of these colors.

Thernax shall not demand the races of other gods challenge him for use of the resources he creates. They will only have to challenge him to try and change the terrains and such he makes.

It does not take long before loose hunks of crystal begin to move seemingly on their own, rolling on the ground and hovering into the air, never without a spark of light within. The motes have learned to physically manipulate their world, and begin to construct ordered cities within their domain. Their sprawling cities stretch to cover hexes 0616, 0716, and 0815.

Several small shards of light hover into the Spider Queen's domain, their motes of light flickering curiously as they wander the territory aimlessly.

The Voice, with a twisted and torn mind, finds partial preservation of sanity in his new red landscape. His will to reach the physical realm is not quenched, finding an inability to crack through the dimensional power. More arcane energy and control of this region maybe necessary.

Thernax expands his region through the void with new rolling hills, populated by the Poddox.

The crystals make their way through the void, expanding their reach on new grounds you formulate for them as they construct their settlements.
The lights find their way into the Spider Queen's forests; it's up to the Spider Queen (>>2275287) as to whether or not this is taken as a threat or mere peaceful exploration to her spiderlings.

The toymaker watches the dozens of dolls running around and constructing huts for themselves. He is not sure how the doll he build came to life or what all the toys are doing. The one thing he knows is that he feels as if he's with his family again, and maybe that's all he needs to know.

As the need for resources grows, the toys wander out into the forest to the west and begin to chop down trees. They claim the new lands (2007, 1908, 2009).

Fungal towers master the art of telepathy. Allowing the THE VOICE and all of his creations to interfere and attack other minds directly. Their favourite technique being causing unimaginable and paralyzing fear in their victims and then killing them. If their opponent does not posses the ability to feel fear they can always simply attack their mind directly this alas is not as effective as causing terror in the victim.

THE VOICE finally breaks the dimensional barrier and begins to transfer his being into the physical realm the enormous fungal neural network housing his mind

Enjoying his reign, The Fey King orders the most intelligent of his subjects to build him a castle and a grand city to accompany it.

The Castle will take 2 turns and the town will take 3 more. Both will increase the King's power over his territory, granting him complete control over his land and subjects upon completion of both projects.

With the new resources in their hands, the dolls begin giving themselves more intricate designs. Tall, well fashioned beings of wood and cloth start to exit the factories.

The new dolls seem to take on a leading role and order the smaller ones to construct a whole city (1908). The workers are quick to follow suit.

They invite the old toymaker on the hill to move into their new capital but he refuses, prefering to live in a quite house with the few dolls that stayed with him. He wishes them however all the best.

Mountain peaks stretch into freezing air that drowns in ice and snow, glaciers moving to and fro over the years, icy steppes and tundras being the only break between the towering peaks. Almost nothing lives in this harsh environment, but something still hungers. Vampires have never been bothered by ice and snow, and when something, or someone, succumbs to the frozen drifts, they flock to the corpse and drain it of blood and warmth.

The voice does indeed break through the dimensional barrier, but not to his pleasure. The divine power he feasts off of from The Goddess of Creation in his home dimensions is his sole source of power. His power here will be limited, and if the voice were to expend much power in the material plane it may be impossible for him to gather enough energy to return home. The portal there and back can only be open for so long. What is your course of action?

The construction of the castle and town begin.
Though your faeries are well trained in the arcane arts at this point, neither fireball seem to reach their targets. One fireball misses entirely, plummeting into the endless void between your kingdom and the mainland. The other fireball, mistakenly aimed towards the treemen, doesn't quite go as far as expected; striking straight into 1330 where the undead lie. The massive fireball arcs through the sky before striking in a field of corrupted taint, killing many undead.

Unfortunately, a pack of wild beasts has made its way into the toymaker's hut and ended the old man's life.

The dolls hold a ceremony for their original creator and build a small temple on the hill in his name.

Thernax's desert expands itself Southward, the earth underneath this reign dusting into sandy layers and dunes.

A water savoring plant known as The Hakka shall begin to sprout and offer a minor amount of life to the barren landscape. It is a brown leafed plant that grows hanging yellow fruits, round and filled to the brim with tangy juices. The plant stands at about 2ft tall and grows in clusters above underground water sources.

The Fae Kingdom expands to the two islands separating you and the undead. You'd create horses with rather ease, or at least within the necessary timeframe.

>>2276071
You will need some sort of method to crossing it, whatever that method is. Nothing may be magically created in this void, as this is where the ocean lies in the material plane. As you see this, this is a starry void going down infinitely. However, the waves' power is great enough to be felt in this dimension. You may use the waves with ships, but you must construct ships to do such.
934 and 1235 were claimed by the Fae King first. If you want to claim this, you must roll to attack (1d20 + 1/4 of your claimed hex).

>>2276080
Welcome back Thernax. You missed a few turns, so I'll let you expand that much. The dolls to the northeast and the fae in the southern-west island continue to both use metal.

This is the first time the treepeople organized on such a massive scale, marking the beginnings of political unification.

And back to Computer.

Thernax's domain shall expand to the other side of his Eastern Mountain Range.
He shall craft the likes of a swamp towards The North East of his domain, scouring the land in wet marshes and wispy trees that rise high into a wet canopy.

Within this new swamp there shall be a number of large, pale beasts that are hyper territorial and scaled all over their bodies. These pure white lizard beings shall have four thick legs upon a fat body, seeming like some kind of mix between a dog an an alligator. They will be known as The Tugai.

Alright guys, here's what may be your last update for tonight. Stuff is really starting to heat up now, I'm excited.

>>2276923
The frost vampire's have attained top class swoleness, developing incredibly powerful claws and teeth, durability bone structures, and increased wing strength. They swell with divine energy.

>>2276943
Agarius' hellscape spreads onwards to the northwest.

>>2277222
>>2277578
And push outwards the crusaders do, aggressively claiming the regions that stand between the fortress and frost vampire's domain.

>>2277251
>>2277624
Likewise, the frost swolepires close the gap between their new enemies, closing the border between frost wasteland and crusader land. The southern border of the frost territory now raises massive walls of ice in defense.
If you wish to claim land he owns, you'll have to make an attack. (1d20 + 1/4 of amount of hex owned).

>>2277329
Tired of the torturous lives the tribesmen of Yutkilm, they choose to believe in Sheng-Li's tellings of their demigod Wu-Saug. He stands as their last hope, the shining beam of light that will save them all from what problems their lives are filled with today.
The tribesmen unanimously vote for Sheng-Li, rising him to be the Chief Councilman of Yutkilm in hopes to get closer contact with their divine figure.

>>2277373
Standing unopposed to this point, Thernax's power has been allowed to grow immensely. USC stands no chance against the shifting land of rock and grassland that tears through their grounds to make it anew. (With a lucky roll,) The United States of Clapan manages to hold back some of their attacked land, although a fair amount of it is quickly converted.
Thernax's influence changes the live forms here into the Thartar.

>>2277636
Wonderful production, might I say. Message to Belweir; >>2276994
>She greets her friend and neighbor, Belweir, complimenting them on their lovely Thaumium spires.
>She doubts there is much good hunting amidst the crystal lands, but offers fine silk in trade for lovely thaumium crystals to decorate her webs.
The Spider Queen's northern and southern colonies successfully expand successfully, meanwhile the western web colony settles.
Delivering message to Fae; >>2276307
>The Southern Spider Sect also send two small envoys, each consisting of one diplomat and two guards.
>One envoy greets the Fae upon 0735. They seek to praise the Fae on their powerful magic, wish for peaceful negotiations, and greatly desire to sample their savory delicacy known as "horses".

The vast cities of the crystalline coast, spreading seamlessly over the broken plains of coastal Thaum, slowly grow a shade darker as their mixed, mish-mashed collection of clear and cloudy-white buildings, all filled with the prismatic motes of light that are the Thaumites going about their daily lives, are little by little covered from the outside with a thin, but rugged shell of jold infused Thaumium. The Thaumium is clear, but with tightly-dispersed flecks of powdered jold even distributed through its matrix, massively reinforcing the fragile thaum crystal at the cost of a noteable (but not exactly tragic) amount of its magical conductivity. It blocks some of the Thaumites' light, making the glow of their cities gradually less harsh on the eyes as the shells climb higher up on the walls of the standing structures, ensuring that they will stand no matter who may ask of them to fall down.

It's a pleasure to be allowed to play in your realm! Whether you continue tonight or not, thank you for this.

Action: The fungal towers discuss among each other and arrive at the conclusion that complacency and stagnation lead to death, to live is to constantly change and evolve. So they create evolution chambers underground allowing them to easily change, study and modify genetic material and to test new species created.
Action: Fungal tower's develop the technique of thoughtform creation. It allows the user to create mental constructs which can attack mentally or defend the user from psionic assaults. The construct power and the amount of constructs which can be created depends on the user's own power, but they do not drain the user's own power
Action: Using the evolution chamber fungal towers quickly give the worms ability to burrow and move quickly underground.
Action: By experimenting with telekinesis fungal towers develop telekinetic force field ability
Action: Mental blow is developed using telepathy as a base. This psionic skill applies mental pressure in opponent and weakens their mind until they go unconscious

With his will, new ground shall blossom forth in 1025 and the surrounding four hexes, taking the form of broken, cliff-ridden plains with wild, unruly crystal structures that stand tall and skinny beneath a pre-dawn sky full of dark, rolling clouds. The tall crystal spires call down bolts of blazing skyfire, feeding off of the perpetual lightning storm and preventing its rage from marring the ground or any who would tread it. Each new strike of the sky's angry light upon the titanic crystal structures induces growth at their bases, producing harvestable shards of clear, glowing crystal.

As the lands that are still in possession of The USC are extended and snakelike, and it would cause the domain of Thernax to grow into an unwieldy shape, but letting the demigod go would cause problems in the long run, he thinks it would be much better if Idanikos would instead claim the remaining territory.

The rolls sure have been interesting today. Do remember, Thernax may be the world power, but The Central Cog is fourth. Central Cog rolls nat 20 on defense. Thernax rolls 3 on defense.
The dolls unleash a relentless furry of heated rods that tear through the swamps. Thernax's rolling hills unleash towards the doll's region, but cannot touch the dolls airships. These two extremely powerful forces collide with unimaginable strength, but neither takes much advancement.

>>2279201 Idanikos
>>2279257
what the fuck, my dice are starting to seem loaded. USC rolls 20 on defense, however USC has also put itself into one space. Idanikos' dungeon grows minimally, but as the USC runs it manages to fight off what monsters come. However, Idanikos does manage to cut the USC off.
Development underground continues.

>>2279288 Omnath
One step at a time Omnath expands, putting most development into elementals.

>>2279293 Agarius
The magma expands south, meeting the frost wasteland's border. Be sure to make an attack roll when you attack.

Flanking from the side of the mountain range, another fleet of airships enters the enemy territory.

Indeed, you are surrounded on all sides by the Labyrinth.
Your deals with other demigods matter very little to Idanikos.
You are free to enter and face the Labyrinth, as may anyone strong enough, prepared enough, or foolish enough to do so.

Be aware that, due to your Divine resistance to arcane energies, the Labyrinth is not capable of granting you or any other demigod the treasures it affords to mortals. You will also find yourself immune to various status effects that would otherwise be inflicted by the Labyrinth's denizens, and it is doubtful there is anything in the Labyrinth, except possibly at the very bottom, that could slay you if you did not wish it.

Also know that any attempt to take control of the Labyrinth or mold it into your own domain will be taken as a declaration of war.

However I'll try to help make sure your expansion is uninterrupted and that any violent people are deterred if they decide to get in the way.
It's the best way I know to pay you back for help you gave me.
Of course if that isn't what you want I'll just try not to get in your way.
Maybe being allied with you can give you my roll to help protect you in a skermish.

Greetings Great Frakt,

Recently, you found yourself in a position between two powerful aggressors, the fire demons to the north and your old enemies, the crusaders, to the south.
Through clever negotiation, you were able to turn one aggressive neighbor, one you share no natural alliance with, into an ally against your true foe.
The Spider Queen admires such impressive strategy and seeks to implement it herself, although her true enemy is stagnation.

The glorious Queen questions though, if it would be wise of her to form such an alliance, such as yours with the demon king, with no thought to the future.
When the demon king has aided your conquest, and your lovely crystalline spires sweep across former crusader lands, what rewards might the demon lord seek?
What lands might they wish?
Where might these lands be found?
Do you truly wish to lose lands hard won when they were never promised?

Truly, to fight a war on two fronts is a terrible thing.
It is a fate that the Spider Queen would truly hate to happen to any of her colonies.
And it is her heartfelt preference that such a fate not befall you as well.
She asks of you only that you trust that if the time comes when such war is inevitable, she will take decisive action.

As for the ice, we have great need of ice, one you might understand, and did not feel there was time to spare in requesting trade.
We were unaware of the fleetness of tongue which the tongue of Frakt, the vampire demigod, commands.
We sincerely apologize for underestimating you.

As for helping you kill crusaders and expanding your territory southward, we would ask first of some assurances regarding our own expansion.
As well as our soldiers being able to eat their own kills, of course.
>>
>>2281073
This Message to Frakt was from the Spider Queen, obviously.

The VOICE is pleased to ally with the visitor and welcomes him into its lands. It would like to know the visitor's true name.

>>2281110
It's Eli, I wonder if it weird that someone pretty much human is helping a fungus.
In my world there are many forms of fungus that grow in our forests, some are edible while others will kill you in a heartbeat.
Is there any danger to people coming into contact with your fungus or is it simply when you send the worms and use your abilities?
>>
>>2281073
We are kin, you and I, Spider Queen. While the demonic forces are happy to side with me as they gibber and prance, exulting in the consumption of souls, your forces and mine have the opportunity to be deep allies, of like-mind, as people unhindered by the shackles of over reliance on technology. That, and our mostly liquid-based diets. I imagine our peoples could spend long hours into the night with two bottles between them, one of blood, the other of envenomed guts.

I will allow your forces to partake of my frozen lands, even aiding in your acquisition of more ice, should you need. In return, I wish for webbings, for a Vampire's thirst is rivaled only by their vanity, and such fine fibers will make fabulous attire for The Court of Blood.

The Demon King and I understand that it is the Crusaders land itself that is the spoils. Our war efforts are fair in that we understand that if your forces are the ones to conquer, then you will be allowed to keep it. If he or I wish to trade lands to remain cohesive, or for certain strategic points, then we can discuss this like civilized darkspawn.

Frakt understands your fear of stagnation. One need only look at your history, hemmed in one side by the raging oceans, mindless undead, and other strange nations of this peculiar void, to understand why. Worse still, to your back was the relentless Void, which you still overcame to bring yourself to my borders. I can respect that. Yet here you are, hemmed in by new forces. But this time, do not turn to violence, or apathy, but instead extend a carapacian claw of unity, to be met by the bloodstained and hellfire claws of an alliance willing to accept you. Together, we will march south, and you will find a new field, an expanse of void that will be claimed by the 3 of us, a perfect position for a new colony of yours.

On a final note. What kind of soldier DOESN'T eat the ones they've slain? Only a truly evil demigod would deny their children and followers that. The alliance that will soon hopefully be known as the FrostFire Web should have a few simple sayings, to teach our younglings in their formative years.

A fallen foe
is a meal, you know.

Always remember to pick your battlefields clean.

Storage in ice
keeps the bodies nice.

A soul-less body tastes just as good! Grab a demon buddy, and share!


Spider venom is a great treat for vampires looking for a little pizzaz in their next meal!

No the fungus itself cannot do any harm it simply connects all strange red flora and fauna into a single intelligent ecosystem. It is quite sensitive though it will sense any foreign organism traveling on it and do its best to impede their movement and alert any mindworms near it as well as awaken any mindworm swarms which had burrowed underground . Furthermore the fungi visible on the ground is only the tip of the iceberg it extends deep underground and if the surface layer is destroyed it can quickly grow back

>>2280701
This depiction of Idanikos is most pleasing to Idanikos.

Idanikos will consider the possibility of joining your pantheon at a later date, possibly at the time of the promised exchange of land.

>>2280953
Idanikos is fooled not by your feigned weakness.

You may claim to be a mere tourist, but your true power level is that of a demigod, although it is true your power holds no torch to that of Idanikos.

If this were not so, your territory would not be "surrounded" by that of the Labyrinth, but a part of it.

Regardless of the result, The King sends an invitation to The Spider Queen, inviting her and her subjects to a grand feast at his castle, promising much boar, cow and of course, horse.

It seems that underestimating the eloquent tongue of Frakt is indeed inevitable.
Your powers are great and the power of persuasion are among them.
The Spider Queen accepts your offer of alliance.

The FrostFire Web is born.

Expect the sight of our void ships crossing over your lands to flank the crusaders upon the east before you can wet your teeth.

Know this, Grand Master and men in steel shells.
The Spider Queen bears you no personal enmity, but your lands are now our hunting grounds and your metal clad men are now our prey.

>>2280486
The Spider Queen launches her first offensive into the northeastern lands of the Crusaders.
The void ships of the Western Web colony descend upon the lands, slinging fierce projectiles formed of razor sharpened stone and heavy ice bonded by webs. Following the onslaught of falling projectile, spider soldiers parachute down on webbing balloons seeking to rend the flesh of man.

There's a surprisingly happy atmosphere in the Fae Lands as the Spider Queen arrives.

Seems a festival has started on the Fae King's orders, along with a parade to celebrate the spiders.

As they enter the castle, they are met with an unecessarily large feast of meat and fruit, almost enough to feed the entire castle twice over. Sitting at the head of the collosal table and flanked by two Elf guards wearing a dark iron armor with skull motifs, is the Fae King himself.

"Ah, good to see that you arrived!"

"I hope there was no trouble on the way, no raiders or warriors or perhaps any..."

A murderous look is sent towards a couple Fairies.

"Troublemakers?"

This Union marks a new age, and will go down in history, told over still-living meals in the years to come. Already, within the frozen homesteads of the vampiric court, new banners flutter in the frozen winds.

A strip of skin, flayed from a Crusader who fought for foolish reasons like honor and duty instead of survival itself. The ichors and dyes from the Spider's forest's yield a brilliant blue, shaped into into the eponymous FrostFire Web of the new alliance. The Demons enchantment causes a glistening of pool to tantalize in the depths of the web, never to clot, free-flowing as the blood that will run through the streets of our prey.

>>2281217
Dear, sweet, simple Protea. This is not a collaborative painting, but a canvas in which we must paint the survival of our children in strokes of blood and death. Every moment focused on art and philosophy, our enemies build warmachines and hordes. This is a race for dominance and survival, and you would do well to join us in our revels. It is not too late to convert your shimmering blue oceans to rich seas of a more... crimson hue.

The tree people would likely be unable to venture far into the frozen wastelands of the vampire's territory. On wings of unnatural might, they swoop down, carried by dagger-cold winds.

"We hunger." Was the first simple answer. When this drew only confused looks, the Vampires conferred for a moment, before continuing. "We have a great desire, a thirst, a need, for the crimson delight of mortals. Ones such as yourselves, or the dolls, or the demons, cannot slake that thirst. We cannot sup on the green slurry that we sense courses through what serves as your woody veins. So when men clad in iron and bearing righteousness as their burden march on our lands? When our only offense was existence, and having bordering lands? We fight. We fight to survive, at first, and when our strength serves us well, we fight to conquer. There is only one great truth, and one terrible lie."

"Happiness can be found in Want. They who have no Desire have no Will, and those without Will are below even the meager snow-hares we hunt."
The Vampires gaze drifts across the horizon. Their senses are keen, and perhaps they can see, or smell, what the envoy as a Tree Being can sense in their core. The Garden of the Mother of Creation.
"Reach Heaven through Violence."

Turning back, the Vampires asks two questions of the envoy.

"Which is the truth, and which is the lie? Beyond that, why do you NOT fight?"
>>
>>2281380
"Why do we not fight? Because while the things we *want* are myriad, none of them are fighting."

>>
>>2281425
The sticky lied to me. How undercutting of my claim to wisdom.
>>
>>2281419
The Vampires, and by extension, their patron God, shake their heads in dismissal.

"When do you [bold]not[/bold] need to fight for you life? Every day is a struggle to survive, until the day it isn't. Then, every day is a struggle to make sure others do not survive. Return to your forests, tree spirit, and follow your philosophy of passive acceptance. Perhaps you will be proven right, and you will win the honor to pierce our hearts with wooden roots."

Frakt smirks at the waterborne goddess. "My dear waterborne goddess, the same goes for you. Return to your lands, and you will be safe from my children. They have no desire to drain the "blood" of fish and water spirits. Return to your "art" and "tending", and I look forward to seeing the fruits of your philosophy bloom. Perhaps peaceful, passive living is the key to success? However, my choice is made.

The Spider Queen and her entourage are thrilled with the welcome they receive from the Fae Court.

Laughing at the idea of raiders, warriors, or troublemakers, the Queen assured the King that her arrival was pleasant enough.

The spiders salivate heavily at the presence of the lavish meal, but restrain themselves eying the Queen expectantly until, finally, she follows the king's lead and takes a bite.
The spiders devour the meat in ravenous abandon.
A few experiment with eating the fruit, encouraging others to try it as well.
At one point, the leader of the Southern Sect earned a scornful and reprimanding glare from the Queen when he, admittedly politely, asked if one of the fairy servers was on the menu.
The Spider Queen herself managed to eat twice as much as anyone else and still managed to do so demurely.

Truly sated from the repast, the Queen asked the King if he wished to discuss the future of their kingdoms at the table, or somewhere more private?

The Fairies are disgusted by the ravenous spiders, many excusing themselves to go puke.

The Elves however, seem utterly unaffected, many even smiling with psychopathic glee, though those are only the regular guards, as the King's Bodyguards keep their stoic look throughout the entire meal.

"I believe my throne room would be a more appropriate location, it's much cleaner, not to mention free of any prying eyes and ears..."

The Fae King gets up and motions for the Spider Queen to follow, though orders his own guards to stay as he walks to another room.

"I believe we may reach a sort of mutual agreement!"
>>
>>2281623
The Spider Queen follows, leaving her own followers to stay in the dining hall, pr stretch their legs wherever permitted.

"I have no doubt a mutually beneficial agreement may be reached between us." She agrees as she is led towards a more private area.
>>
>>2281636
Finally arriving at the throne room, the Fae King stands in front of his throne, though he does not sit down.

"Now, while I have mostly been focusing on my own problems, I heard from a little birdy that there's a war going on up North!"

"While I also have some propositions of trade, i'm much more interested in matters of warfare."

And with that, he sits down on his throne, smiling.

"Care to give me some details, dear Queen?"

"Ah, that tiresome affair." She lets out a weary sigh.
But her demeanor quickly brightens. "Well, I'd be remiss if I failed to provide an entertaining tale upon request of my gracious host. And we can't have that.
"As you may know, my colony at the northeastern edge of the void was recently encroached upon by two forces, choking out any room for expansion.
"I don't have to tell you how important that is." she smiled conspiratorially. "It seemed at first the forces of the demons and the vampires were set to wage war at the feet of my colony, with the winner surrounding my children and dwarfing my foothold.
"Then, all at once, with words spun as well as my very own webs, the demigod vampire secured the demons as allies against the plated humans.
I quickly adjusted my plans and now find myself in the enviable position of having an alliance with Frakt that ensures both stability of my current colony and the promise of new lands to hunt in and win as well as dangerous and exciting new prey.
"Our first aerial assault is beginning now. I expect to see favorable results upon my return to the temple.
"The humans are in for a surprise. It was not designed for them, but humans, I hear, are vulnerable to many forms of attack."
The beaming grin on her face betrays her true enjoyment of the war as an intriguing hunt.
>>
>>2281691
"Ah yes Humans...Strong creatures, though I hear they are also quite brittle at times..."

Cracking his neck, the Fae King chuckles and takes a moment to stare at nothing in particular, as if to day dream. He soon snaps out of it and looks back to the Spider Queen.

"Sounds oh, so fun..."

"You wouldn't mind if I joined in, would you?"

ELSE: Go to 2

2
IF: There is an unoccupied hex bordered by at least 2 crusader occupied hexes, try to claim it. Determine priority based on proximity to either of the two fortresses. For equidistant hexes, go with the lowest number.
ELSE: Go to 3

3
IF: There is research that can be done (Improved Metallurgy, Blessed Battle Hymns, Inspire Zealotry, whatever new shit the Artificers have come up with), do so.
ELSE: go to 4

4
IF: there are hexes within 2 moves of a fortress or hostile power that are not currently fortified, fortify them.
ELSE: Go to 5

5
Launch an attack on ONE (1) of the following, determined by largest number of shared borders: Frakt, Agarius, Spider Queen, Fae King. If number of borders is equal, go with whoever's first on the list.

Slowly, one of the glass pyramids floats through the void to the Thaumites' hex 0725
where it remains floating in the air. With a soft tinkling, the tip opens and reveals a large, canary-yellow button.

>>2281897
Tell you what. Use your islands to the north of the perfidious knife-ears as a staging ground with which to enact justice upon them, and I shall... Turn a blind eye to your unnatural existence.
>>
>>2281930
See, now you've given me a real reason to go to war.
>>
>>2281935
You were the one who started things! If you had turned the foul spider-spawn away, I would not be pushed to such measures!
>>
>>2281935
>>2281930
since none of you, tried to contact me and i'm in the middle ground here. I'm still willing to negotiate safe passage through my lands.
>>
>>2281942
Are you the elemental guy? Sorry I'm having trouble keeping up here
>>
>>2281942
Alright, I am willing to apologize, get rid of my forests and give you 3 hexes if you join me or at the very least leave me alone.

>>2281940
Foul? She has been nothing if civil so far, it justs seems like you have an intolerance for anything different than you!
>>
>>2281947
>civil
SHE WAS THE BROKER FOR THE ALIANCE BETWEEN THE DEMONS AND THE VAMPIRES!
>>
>>2281961
I mean, there isn't much that isn't civil about brokering an alliance.

But either way, I mostly meant civil to me, and that's all that matters here.
>>
>>2281930
They have not given me a reason to invade and even taught us magic, we are not invaders but we will unleash our full wrath if provoked.
>>
>>2281985
I am willing to teach you more magic if you join our alliance.

Wu-Saug influences Shong Wei-Li in dream. Seeing the Crusader States as the forefront of human interests against the undead, he issues a decree to send Saug Inquisitors to the frontier of the Crusade lands to aid in the ongoing wars adding on to the previous actions of >>2280751

>>2281988
For a defensive alliance then we got a deal
>>
>>2281997
Done.

Gonna do some of my own stuff next turn then you'll get more magic, deal?
>>
>>2281997
How would that work, exactly? The fae are already at war with me.
>>
>>2282005
Uh, I give them magic and then we protect each other from attacks.

That's how defensive alliances work, no?
>>
>>2282012
A defensive alliance means "If somebody declares war on you I'll declare war on them, but if *you* declare war on somebody, you're on your own." It's saying that you're willing to defend one another, but not to get involved in wars of aggression.
>>
>>2282018
I assume we're breaking the rules a bit here, because if we're doing it that way and just using it as a basic thing.

Cus if we're going from that, then there'd be no point in doing it.
>>
>>2282023
Ugh, what the fuck did I just type?

I meant it as in, that if we followed that definition then there would be no point in making the deal.

Magic is for people who aren't swole as hell.
>>
I love how lterally no one in this game has made any defences againts my bullshit
>>
>>2282031
Yeah, I guess.

I mean, i'm currently working towards creating the Wild Hunt so there's gonna be plenty of swole dudes but for now, i'm just gonna use my magic.
>>
>>2282038
Not only that but you have me as an ally lol
>>
>>2282045
>>2282038
Nobody knows what your bullshit is, cuz you're just an anon. Besides, I doubt your bullshit amounts to anything, as everything we do just boils down to +1's.
>>
>>2281946
added some precision to my name :3

>>2281947
We have a deal. 1732 1733 1833. Give them to me, and i shall make no action against the fae.
I'll also grant safe passage in the mist to any of your kind.
>>
>>2282038
But i like your bullshit. You're lands are fungal, lush. And you use your mind to communicate. Your are silent. Serene.
>>
>>2282049
All yours, just leave me the fuck alone.

What's the bump limit?
Are we reaching New Thread status soon?

Who started the war?
Convince me to join the war since I don't normally declare war
>>
>>2282144
Fuck if I remember, just saying that this could be beneficial for the both of us.
>>
>>2282144
Which war? The Eastern Clash between the Frostfire Weblords and The Golden Cross Covenent started when the Iron Crusaders under The Grand Master invaded my land, that of the Frosted Blooddiners.
>>
>>2282161
Because you were eating people! People who could be living under my benevolent aegis instead!
Also, we're The Crusaders.
>>
>>2282174
Nigga who cares.
>>
the terrible moment where everyone realise no one know who stated the wars and why.
>>
Bah. We all know they'd have attacked me had I not struck first.
>>
>>2282174
The wretched mortals of my realm live in cowering fear of their rightful rulers. A mortal, (human, orc, lesser elf, I care not) born into my realm can hope for a life of meager tribal living before either the cold, a great beast, or a Vampire slays them.

This is righteous and proper. I did not look to interfere with your unnatural bending of wood and metal. Accept your guilt, meaningless as it is, and let us continue this war.
>>
Hey, can I also just take over the mermaids cause the guy who made them never did anything with them or posted again and they're basically mine thematically anyway. It'd be like if someone made one hex of snow w/ snow zombies and just left, while frakt doesn't get any of it.
>>
>>2282200
roll for it i guess?
>>
>>2281698
>"You wouldn't mind if I joined in, would you?"
I believe Frakt and Agarius would welcome your assistance.
I know I would enjoy your helpful attention.

OOC: Sleep has overtaken me

"Most wonderful, I believe an introduction of my army is due, but before that, let me give you a proposition!"

"It seems to me like you truly enjoy our meats, so I propose that we have a trade deal!"

"Silk for meat, a good trade, wouldn't you say?"
>>
>>2282151
>>2282161
Sounds like he is profiling me by my looks and invaded the vamps with a poor excuse , very well I shall join you with getting rid of the hostile being. In return I seek knowledge of magic and your own empires and races.
>>
>>2282240
>"Silk for meat, a good trade, wouldn't you say?"
A most pleasant trade indeed. Agreed!"
>>
>>2282252
I can only promise you magic and knowledge of my empire, everything else comes from the rest.

Otherwise, you have yourself a deal.

>>2282254
"Most excellent! The little things may be dealt with another time though, for I have more to show you!"

The Fae King excitedly gets off his throne and starts moving onto another room, waving for the Spider Queen to follow him once again.
>>
>>2282180
You can spread your fog of silence into my land bro (as long as it doesn't take away my tiles)
>>
>>2282252
The only magic my people have is the magic of their own existence, the strength and power of Vampirism. It cannot be learned or mimicked, only received.

You are welcome into our alliance, and I can envision you rounding out our effiecient death machine quite nicely. A slain human's soul will go to the demons, their blood to me, their flesh and guts to the spiders, and their bones to you.

What marvelous efficacy we weild! They shall cower before us!

>>2282291

"Very. Well.
Let. Us. Have. One. Of. Your. Kin. To. Study. And. Learn."
>>
>>2282445
"Not a problem, friends."

And thus, the messenger Fairy is returned to the horde, only this time she's tightly bound and screaming for her life. Her Guard, an old looking Elf walks confidently towards the undead horde.

"Now, are you ready to learn some of the more sophisticated arts?
>>
>>2282291
>"I have more to show you!"
>The Fae King excitedly gets off his throne and starts moving onto another room, waving for the Spider Queen to follow him once again.
Intrigued, the Spider Queen follows him into the next chamber.

>>2282252
FEH! Trying to pass yourself off as the moral superior here, but we all know the truth! Just look at the mortals!

>Farmer bob from hex 2117 says: Don't get me wrong. The bronze helmet guy and the icy fangs guy are both cocks. But one of them's a cock who's at his happiest when folks are talking about how awesome he is, and the other's a cock who's at his happiest when folks are dying like beasts. I know who I'd rather live under.

Action: Fungal towers attempt to replicate the ability to break the barriers between dimensions used by the VOICE. They fail to do so but this has yielded some interesting knowledge in the art of space time warping. They use this knowledge to develop an advanced psi reflection ability allowing to ''reflect'' ranged attacks and even store them in a pocket dimension to fire later
Action: Fungal towers don't have time to waste to refine all of their new psi techniques and genetic changes to perfection. Instead they will periodically hold fights between elite mindworm swarms (each swarm participating in the tournament is each fungal tower's personal champion) and force them to refine these techniques by fighting each other later the improvements made to psi techniques as well as victorious swarm's DNA is analysed and used to modify other swarms.
>>
>>2282495
Oh and I give crusaders 2 flying swarms
Meanwhile Eli or dimensional traveler stays to defend my lands

They walk and walk, eventually exiting the castle and ending up behind it where they find many, many tents set up along with numerous large arenas.

"Welcome to the proving grounds!"

The Fae King motions for the field as his bodyguards rejoin him.

"You see, this is where all who wish to particiate in combat of any kind prove themselves."

"It has been modified a little to instead house all the appropriate facilities for a tournament!"

"For is your gracious appearance not worth such an occasion?"
>>
>>2282445
No Vampire would sacrifice immortality to anyone, for the hedonistic pleasures of life is what we exult in. A Vampire accepts death in the hunt, and nowhere else. You cannot have a test subject. Instead, submit to us a slave, and we will return them a Vampire.
>>
>>2282524
That's literally the same as sacrificing one of your kind though
>>
>>2282551
If they aren't created directly by me, Frakt, then are a not a true Vampire in my eyes. Even in my own nation, the Vampire's court is layered, echelons of true and sub-vampires that trace their lineages to me. Only the oldest and most powerful are directly of my bloodline, a number I reinforce only once a decade. Beyond that, each successive conversion brings less and less power. However, even then, they are still mine, for the mortal stock they were created from was also created by me. This would be the first case of a conversion of a mortal from another realm, an experiment I am eager to see through.
>>
>>2282523
"A tournament sounds like a quite delightful event and showcasing the prowess of the hunt."
>>
>>2282584
"Indeed, and this is why I freely invite any of your warriors to come test themselves against mine!"

"Or perhaps, you'd be interested in fighting as well? In which case, i'd be glad to battle you!"
>>
>>2282516
Voice I'll keep things safe here but I was wondering if there was anything I could do for your sanity.
My ai senses a impulse similar to dementia in you caused from depravity of the senses that went on for a long time.
I'm not judging I have a problem of my own as when I first edged on loss of life my ai created measures to protect me.
This accidentally split my consiousness into being calculative and aggressive as 2 separate beings from myself.
You might see this as a problem and it was initially as they fought to be the dominant personality.
However my ai helped stablize that to happen less often and it can be stimulated in your nervous system as well to give extra clarity if you need it.
>>
>>2282616
"That sounds delightful!"

"First, why don't we see how your forces fair against the leader of my Southern Sect?
"Then we can have a little battle between just us! Just for fun, mind you."
>>
>>2282862
"Just the leader? It sounds to me likd he's a powerful one. I sya it'd be better to send one of my own stronger ones to fight!"

With a word to his bodyguards and an official looking Elf, his male bodyguard enters the arena without a word.

"And in this glorious battle, Alerios the Black shall face the southern leader of the spider lands!"

So, do you wanna play this out turn by turn or do you wanna just get a result right now?

One of the five lichs meets with the elf in an open field, a group of undead take the fairy away for the other lichs to experiment on. Even though it's only one lich the elf still hears more than one voice when he starts to telepathically speak to him.
" We. Have. Taught. Ourselves. Some. Advanced. Magic.
Here's. One."
Then the Lich touches the elf and this happens

>>2282495
It's not my place to judge his actions towards whats rightfully his

>>2282524
We have no means for slaves there's only my kind, if you can't accept my terms then I won't join your alliance only have a defensive alliance with Morgan

The demons are gathered in the great Hall of the Demon King Agarius's Castle. In the center of the hall lie three still living captured crusaders. Abandon your foolish faith yell the demons. Join us. Let rage, power, hate and thrist for blood take over. One crusader yells I'll join you if you let me live!!!. As soon as he finishes speaking he is mauled by a large group of demons and eaten alive. Hahaha, we have no use for cowards amoung us, yells the Demon king. He grabs a knife and begins to torture and feed on the souls of the other two crusaders. Demon chants begin to spread within the hall. Soon the crusaders are turned into demons themselves. Transformed by their own sins and unpure hearts and temptations. Bring the rest of the captured yells the demon king. And send a few to The frost vampires and the spider queen as a gift. Let them feast aswell.
>>
>>2282960
What part exactly, my dude? The creepy voice and reveal of the origins of the universe?
>>
>>2282984
Pretty much but they don't reveal it's just a theory for them
>>
>>2282991
Cool, but know that I now imagine the lich as a fat man-baby.

The Elf is...Intrigued by the lich's theory, if somewhat disturbed at it's ability.

"While that was certainly an experiencs, I have been sent here to teach you more practical magic."

"More of the battle variety!"
>>
>>2282890
The leader of the Southern Sect, who's true name is difficult to express but can be called Devourer of the Weak, is called forward, ready to battle.

[I say let's just battle it out right now. How about 3 1d20 rounds and when the King and Queen fight, they get to add their modifiers?

Spiders ate my spoilers
