The Kerogrim are willing to work with us to solve both our problems just like old times.

The Glade Elves wish to help us restore the ruined nation.

The Pruzic Federation believe us to be dead, but the spellsword of theirs seems willing to cooperate. He will help us establish diplomatic ties, the moment he arrives there anyway.
Will we give him are ride or let him go home on foot?

The Gear Elves up north seem to desire our technology, and are willing to steal, or pay others to steal, to acquire it.

The Helfreyans; Audhilde, Brenda, and Camelia, are in your keep awaiting whatever community service and new home you have in mind for them. They can stay in the keep for now, but what work do you want them to do?

Warn our citizens and allies, the Kerogrim, of the Gear Elves’ seeming colonialism, attempts to steal shit, and how they’re maliciously reminiscent of our Terran history. Don’t trust these dudes who are occupying our fallen capital.

>>2473515
I think we need the Helfreyans help to investigate the Gear elves who claimed our city. If they find anything, it could be disastrous. They are not ready.

Also, maybe we should just give our spellsword friend a horse. We need the VTOLs for other business. He can relax now that his journey is almost over.

Forgot to include that. Have them live wherever the refugees are being moved into, nearest town to wherever they’re spying for now, or closest to any other Helfreyan nations.

Ask them where the Helfreyans are now, do they have their own nations? If so, they can be sent along with some of our own as diplomats.
I’m assuming the named NPCs from other nations can’t be used as mouthpieces.

Construction of better/more facilities and application of better tech and education can increase the points. But you should make sure that you have the people who can man those facilities, and that the populace is well taken care of.

The Glade Elves have an Embassy, but the Kerogrim are a bit busy with a bandit problem right now.

>Send some diplomats with the spellsword too, with his blessing.
Anyone else agree with this?

>Good points. Community service can be spying on the Gear Elves to keep them from accidentally ruining everything.
A knight has informed the Helfreyans that you have an assignment for them.

They arrive shortly afterwards, Camelia looking happy to see you.

"Alright, what is it that you want from us?" Audhild says before Camelia could say anything.

>Ask them where the Helfreyans are now, do they have their own nations?
"We did, before the Pruzics rose," Audhild says. "I mean, before they did we could still be found in other lands but afterwards they isn't anywhere where our people rule. Save for one Helfreyan noble family in Pruzia, but I don't think they counts."


"Anyway, what would you like us to do?" Camelia asks, "I'm ready leave the life of spying on people and stealing stuff behind." she says happily.

>>2477185
>"I'm ready leave the life of spying on people and stealing stuff behind."
Oooooh. Now I'm not sure about the task I wish to ask of them. Not unless Audhilde and Brenda are fine with it. It's related to the Gear Elves and how I fear they might unearth something dangerous in the ruins of our capital in their pursuit of vengeance.

>>2477185
>Anyone else agree with this?
I don't.
>"Anyway, what would you like us to do?" Camelia asks, "I'm ready leave the life of spying on people and stealing stuff behind." she says happily.
Let's have them pick, either they can spy on the Gear elves or they can stay here and do some odd jobs or farm.

>>2477259
and if they don't like that they could take a few knights with them to go explore some ruins.

"{Called it!}" Brenda says, giving her sister a fist bump.

"Awww" Camelia says, with a dejected look on her face.

"Hey, if you don't want to come, that's fine." Audhild states as she puts her hand on Camelia's shoulder, "We're not going to force you to come anyway."

Camelia turns to face her older cousins, with a puppy dog's look in her eyes "But how am I supposed to know what happens to you guys?"

"Well be fine, we've been doing this far longer than you have."

"Then what am I gonna do?" she says as she turns back to you.

oh right I missed that. Some communication devices to keep in contact. yes.

>>2477288
Well, as much as we wish to see how an attempt at integrating you as permanent residents or potentiality down the line as citizens, we have too many pressing matters to make time for this. You however should be attending a trade school so you can have a future you can sustained yourself here for. Unless you all would like to work as construction workers, loggers, and miners? Maybe we can permit you to join our Ranger or Scout forces in the future.

Mention to Brenda and Audhild, there are small stipends for recovering any lost or stolen technology and knowledge.

>>2477259

A suggestion. We can hold this off for another time until the spellsword and Helfreyans bring us more intel on their respective nations and help establish relations. The Helfreyans not blowing their cover, of course.
I'd imagine after we discuss treaties with the Glade Elves and Kerogrim, and finish the next round of training.

How dangerous is the path to the two nations and within it? How likely are the Gear Elves to murderhobo us instead of having a talk?

>>2477311
> Please tell me about your general education. Perhaps we can offer her a test in mathematics and some forms of science.

"Why? cant you send your own men to find it?"

>>2477638
>"Oh. um. Okay... When do I need to begin?"
Either today or tomorrow. It's your choice.

>"Why? cant you send your own men to find it?"
Good point as they will be spying on the gear elves. Next round we can send scouts.

It's 10:26 pm where I'm at and I have a dentists appointment tomorrow. Will update when ready.

Goodnight/day where ever you are.

>>2477597
>We also have the other areas they could develop into, assuming they would. Like counter-espionage agents, penetration testers, teachers, and someone to help manage our bureaucracy.
I don't really want to press them into that without them willingly going in of their own choice. The point is to make good loyal people out of them before entertaining giving them some form of citizenship or if we really want to be kind but safe, give not them citizenship but their next generation of children.

Basically build up loyalty and trust between both of us through working together, and living together.

>>2477638
>Why? cant you send your own men to find it?"
We never seem to be able to for some reason.
Maybe due to the game mechanic where we are more or less limited to one action for our army guys, unless we start sending engineers to go look for them

>>2477597
>assuming they would.
>>2477789
>I don't really want to press them into that without them willingly going in of their own choice.
That's what I meant. There's a number of areas they can select from as >>2477311 offered.

>>2477789
>The point is to make good loyal people out of them before entertaining giving them some form of citizenship or if we really want to be kind but safe,
Have them attend the sermons, maximum divine preaching, and cultural exchanges? The Mass seems potent.

We can, as the spy detachments have shown. We have to leave those units on assignment though. The action points is for the whole.

Also it'd be more difficult to track them down than having trained spies. Those two seem better at it than our units would.

I doubt people of their caliber would want to waste their talents as a carpenter or lumberjack.

>>2477638
So how are we compensating them for the equipment we confiscated? Do we have any houses or apartments set up yet?

>>2480089
We tried to do many things with the army and our men to send out, but you only let us do one action for the army per turn. We need to be able to freely send out men or teams of men at will from a pool of people or units that we have.

Ask Camellia if shes had a basic education.

Give Heinrich a lift, and scout a path to and from his kingdom that can be made into a future paved road.

>>2480089
Wait so are we going to send the sister to spy on the gear elves or ask then to scavenge the ruins? I mean they had a point there about sending some troops to nearby ruins to reclaim and potentially repair?

>>2480105
Little of both, but mostly just take important stuff before the elves do.

We'll focus on denying the elves valuable tech, whether that be by spying or scavenging. I'd lean towards spying because they're already embedded in the Gear Elves.

That's what I meant. Asking them for intel because they knew more than us.

>Does this have to do with the glad elves spy?
No, just that Glade Elves would be of the same species as Gear Elves and would look passable from a distance in contrast to humans. Then again, now that I think about it, the only notable appearance difference between the two species are the ears and lighter, taller build.
>glad elves spy?

I don't think we've trained anyone else to do that, besides it'll be something to do to help keep their cover.
I don’t know how their government works besides they’re literally a bunch of manchildren, and a general sent the Helfreyans to spy on us. Whom we promptly turned into double-agents.

Ask the witch-hunter from which providence do they hail from and if they already know of the location of this necromancer. Ask for more details regarding this necromancer and it's activities.

They hail from the local province, Gregland. The Necromancer has no fixed location but they have his trail.

The Necromancer a distant descendant of the original long dead kingdom that the land is named after. He is travelling around the land, killing whatever he finds and raising them to serve him as undead. The Witchhunters are using the head of his daughter to track him.

We've been training the guardsmen first, and they're surprisingly capable even when they first started out. Apparently our cops are also guardsmen.

Their facilities to create power armor was of interest. Perhaps, if we can send a few of our Engineseers, they may be able to trouble fix your issue. Then once we've solved the issue we may be able to make shipments from our mines to the Kerogrim providence to create some rudimentary power armor for both our people. We'll probably only need to use co-op use their facilities until we can fix ours.
From there repelling the rat folks and bandit should be an easier affair. Besides ores we could provide food and medicine....provided you some data regarding an up to date anatomy of the Kerogrim people?

Can we convert the rat people to turn away from their pagan God?

Whatever they might have I doubt it would be strong enough to take out a VTOL, but let's send a pair of knights or three in a truck to follow after them to see where they land and if they do anything fishy. I hope these are the sypathetic dwarves.

The dwarves cannot be detected anymore. They have proceeded eastward.

The team that has teamed up with the witch hunters have encountered a tavern. No life signatures, but there is smoke coming from the chimney, the temperature of the area is low. The witch hunters say they sense foul corruption emanating from the building and are moving in to cleanse it of the taint. The dwarves are staying in the wagon. What do the knights do?

The Glade Elves say they want to reestablish the roads and settlements that connect our homes together. Doing so will slow down the construction we are currently doing though.

The testing of the refugees are going just as planned, many have been discovered to have parasites and diseases and are currently being treated at the moment.

No, the dwarves they picked up along the way, the same ones who told us about the orc merchant in the first place.

A trio of wraiths burst forth from the building, screaming in anger and pain. The witch hunters strike and the knights join the fray. Blessed blades and ethereal swipes clash as the living and the dead battle. The knights and the hunters gain the upperhand as the incorporeal bodies are severed and their ties with the mortal plain dissolves. The wraiths fade back into the afterlife.


Then the surrounding woods echo with movement. The clattering of metal and bones fills the air along side the stench of rotting flesh and unearthly moans. the dwarves ready their weapons and the witch hunters take up defensive positions.
They come.

There's also the Kerogrim who are actively dealing with bandits. It'd be better that once we finish our schools, and divert units to connect our villages, we try setting up our communication network in each town for the Kerogrim and Glade Elves. Say radio stations, towers, or giving one person a ham radio. Everything else will be much faster when they don’t have to physically travel every time for a message.

"Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
i.e. lay these restless spirits to rest via decapitation.

>>2485187
Our communication devices seem able to reach them, so there doesn't seem to be a reason yet to errect any radio towers since we're able to communicate with them from this distance? If we give them some of our communication devices we might be good for a while.

Something along those lines. I know for sure not all settlements can, and those are the ones at the borders of each nation. Walkie-talkies or radio transceivers work too.

The Knights and their Paladin Leader move to join the Witch Hunters in the formation as the dwarves scramble to the same location. Then the first wave comes in. Skeleton soldiers wearing tarnished armor (if any) and wielding weapons and tools that they used in life. these clattering minions speed their way towards the group with surprising speed born of the fact that, other than armor, little weighs them down.
>>2485200
That's cause we already have a radio tower, It's high up the mountain and heavily guarded by knights and enginseer soldiers.

the Witch Hunters pullout a series of maces and hammers to combat the skeletons. The weight of the blows cause the foe to be knocked around and beaten back, only to charge again to receive the same treatment. The dwarves unleash crossbow bolts at the undead horrors from relative safetly, bringing out their axes against the occassional skeleton that gets through.

The Knights are at the thick of the fighting, their swords clashing against rock-like bone. Against such durable opponents, a regular blade would have dented or broken. However, these are not normal blades. The swords of our knights are made of advanced materials and forged with a much greater understanding and exploitation of metallurgy, and blessed by the priests of the Savior.

The Skeletons recoil, stagger, and react as though feeling great pain and power from the strikes of the Knights. The power of God dispelling from their cursed bodies. The Knights learn and mimic the actions of the witch hunters, using weight and force against the undead with kicks and punches. The skeletons are knocked around like ragdolls. The paladin, clad in power armor, sends bone fragments flying through the air with every blow.

The ranks of the Skeletons begin to thin only for more undead to join the fray. Zombies jog into the fray, the wounds they already bare as well as their attire and rate of decomposition indicate that they were deaths were recent.

The victims of the necromancer no less.

The halt just behind the skeletons, amassing their numbers while the skeletons change tactics.

They have gone from trying to strike as often as possible to parrying and delaying.

>write-in.

>>2485400
>They have gone from trying to strike as often as possible to parrying and delaying.
This can't be good.

>>2484982
Do the others have an idea? Say delaying while we set up traps, or fortify at the tavern we seemingly cleared out?
>>2485158
Do we still have to clear out the tavern, but were intercepted?

>>2485400
They are planning to overwhelm us while the skeletons amass their numbers. Did any of the knights bring grenades? If there aren't any grenades then we must either cleave through their ranks to destroying the amassing zombie hoarde, or commit to a slow fighting retreat. I would have suggested the former were it not for the hunters and dwarves now being as armored.
Ah screw it. They're adults and can take care of themselves. Charge, trample, shoulder check through the skeletons to slay the zombies. Cleave the rotting corpses in twain. Purge the evil that animates these corpses so them may once again know rest, brothers! (Knights PoV?)

>>2485450
Other than fists and swords? I wish we brought explosives.
>The witch hunters say they sense foul corruption emanating from the building and are moving in to cleanse it of the taint.
The tavern seems to be the main source of this, though you bring up a good point about fighting in a building. At least not the tavern. If we can find another building to fight in, the undead with be bottlenecked at the entrances.

>>2485455
Seems like we have a few options:
>Charge and preemptively clear out the horde.
This could be problematic if this is part of what the enemy wants, distracting from the tavern or wherever the necromancer is sending units.
>Delay while the others think up something, like Dwarves pulling out some gadgets or set traps.
Doubtful they wouldn't have told us sooner.
>Beeline to the tavern and cleanse the corruption, potentially killing off whatever necromantic energies sustains the rest.
Dangerous, but potentially cuts the head off the snake.
>Fortify in another building and go into a siege.
Safest option but slowest, it might not work if more hordes keep coming and we lack reinforcements.
Another idea:
>Fortify in other buildings, set up fire traps, evac as it's close to being overrun or allow it to, and repeat.
It’s the most dangerous bait. Doable even if we lack professional equipment by having some guy prepare a fire in advance. I’d like to try this.
We can still contact HQ if the worst happens, right?

"Deus Lo Vult!!!" The Knights cry out as they batter down their way to the tavern, kicking the doors open. The witch hunters and dwarves follow quickly, retreating into the building.

Within are more restless spirits. These revenants wail and screech at the presence of the intruders, gnashing and clawing at the party's direction as they circle around, but refusing to come near. Upstairs, the knights hear foul chanting and see unnatural lights emanating from between the floor boards in the ceiling.

The Paladin smashes through the interior walls of the tavern, knocking down all the supports he could find. The knights and witch-hunters immediately barge back out, smashing down the door and knocking away many skeletons aside in the process. The dwarves soon follow after, wondering aloud what that hell we're doing. The undead horde battles the party once again. Soon the paladin crashes out the window just as the whole building collapses. The unholy horrors seem weakened to an extent.


From the rubble of the tavern arises a lone figure.

A single skeleton, clad in robes and wielding a staff. It dodges the thrown implement with ease and begins hissing at the party in an unknown tongue, clearly angry, before casting spells at the paladin. Only for the bolts of dark energy to bounce off like rubber balls, dealing not even scratches, and bee-line back at the caster. The skeleton give a look that resembles utter surprise before being incinerated.

The undead around begin deteriorating, their bodies returning to the earth. Some standing still, befuddled and aimless, others pushing aside the ones in their front and charging at the party.

>Defend and wait for them to crumble (literally).
>Speed up their return to the earth.

>>2487147
>Speed up their return to the earth.
After we're done laying the dead to rest, the paladin should bless the staff, on the chance that even if they destroy it to tiny bits it might bleed off residual neurotic energies to the surrounding.

>>2487147
>Speed up their return to the earth.

>>2487158
>>2487184
>Speed up their return to the earth.
The Knights join the dwarves and the Witch Hunters in killing the rest of the undead. Those left eventually crumble on their own accord.

Although tired, the knights pick up the staff and give it to the paladin who then, with a prayer, destroys the staff, its remains turn to dust.

The witch hunters say that this was not actually the Necromancer, but a Grave Lord. A type of lieutenant of an undead army. The real necromancer must have placed it here as a trap.

South of Amberfall we have also seen activity happening at night, we suggest caution in dealing with whatever lurks there however, for we know not what has taken up residence there since the fall."

More refugees? Scan the two areas, focus on the South first. We can send out some scouts to meet the refugees.

The drones are on their way, could take a while to reach the refugees but they will be at the southern army base by nightfall.

>>2482159
>Detectors are also registering movement south of here.
So the movement from earlier was the refugees or the abandoned garages?

>>2487424

Concerning. Keep most of the drones to observe the southern army base, send some to scan the refugees. Scouts can be sent to greet refugees once scans have completed.

>>2487431

The garages.

We have a small pool of drones. Fewer still are activated at a time, a limitation placed before you came to prevent losing the drones all at once.

Will you remove this restriction or work with it for now?

>>2487478
>Will you remove this restriction or work with it for now?
Remove restriction. Have the ones above the restrictions work on local scouting or near secured areas to minimize risk. Say attached to guard teams, or their mission control.
>>2487393

Those ones should be able to visit the refugees without much risk, being next to our city.

What happened to the men we sent south? Did we lose radio contact?

>>2487740
>I remember that "bandit" took up the army base. Curious...
Which ones?

>>2487740
>What happened to the men we sent south? Did we lose radio contact?
We didn't send them yet, we were waiting for the drones first for scans. Should we attach drones to scout teams?

>>2482159
>They hail from the local province, Gregland. The Necromancer has no fixed location but they have his trail.
Where is Gregland?

>>2488445
I suggested sending men south before we noticed the bandits and stuff.

>>2488480
>>2482167
So you did. Either drones are faster, we had to attach the drones to a team, or we didn't have any units to spare at the time.

>>2488496
A team could have taken a vehicle, horses, or some other monstrous mounts (remind me we still need to domesticate certain benifical creatures) to the south.

>>2488561
>A team could have taken a vehicle, horses, or some other monstrous mounts
Man, I don't even know what we have in stock. Vehicles that don't attract too much attention would work. I think we have to train our units so they automatically do that.
Still, these are stealth drones. Might be better for initial scouting alone.

>(remind me we still need to domesticate certain benifical creatures) to the south.
A shame trolls are too troublesome for now.

The drones immediately activate and begin their runs. They first scan the refugees.

Just like the ones who came to you, these people have regressed in technology. However, they seem to know how to keep a low profile. If you hadn't used a drone, your scouts would have missed the large camp. Even then the drone only detected them when it flew directly overhead. The fires they made were almost invisible to detection, it was only through using the heat sensors thoroughly that they were found.

Meanwhile at army base in the south, more and more vehicles are pouring out. The drones also spot people coming out of the other buildings, carrying containers of all sorts and loading them onto the army trucks. The vehicles then move east with great haste.

>>2488896
I thought thought the south army base were empty. Can we tell their race?
Send some knights in APC's to investigate the army base.

>>2488919
i second that

>>2488919

>>2489109

>>2489109
Tonight. They can't see us at night, but we can see them.

>>2488919
>Send some knights in APC's to investigate the army base.
The knights move out in APCs to investigate the movements in the south. In a few hours they come into range of the base. They see no movement, no indication of any life. The drones report the same thing, the base is empty once more.

Move the Knights in to investigate?

>>2489165
yes

>>2489165
>Move the Knights in to investigate?
Yes. How good are Knights at sneaking? Attach drones to support.
Can we recite the Litany of Silence?

>>2489169
The knights search the army base, and find nothing of value. Almost everything has been taken, there is nothing left but the walls and the supports.

They do see the tracks, however, whoever was here has not stayed for long. It is likely that the people that were here moments ago only stayed to get whatever wasn't nailed down.

>>2489207
Track them. What sort of tech do these army bases have?

Send some guards with flags out to greet them.

>>2489207

>>2489207
Follow tracks. They were heading east. They must have been using this place as storage.

The APC's begin tracking the vehicles, following the roads that they confirm to be the route that was taken.


> What sort of tech do these army bases have?
Cooking appliances, medical facilities, weapon and vehicle storage and maintenance. They some are known to extend underground to give the impression that the base has fewer men and equipment than it actually does, as well as to provide a strategic defense and entry point against underground threats. Just like in old fantasy settings, this world seems to have an extensive cavern system. While not all everywhere, the underground caverns have plenty of room and life forms within. This base is not registered as one of those areas however.


>>2489219
>Send some guards with flags out to greet them.
This will happen in the morning, no point putting a flag on something if its too dark for people to see.

Skip to next event?

>>2489514

>Cooking appliances, medical facilities, weapon and vehicle storage and maintenance.
I don't want bandits to have all this tech. Best to keep tracking.

>>2489514

>>2489591

>Morning.
The Guardsmen ride out in APCs ride out bearing the flags of both the old republic and of Amberfall, hoping to meet the refugees. When they arrive at the last known location, they find no sign of the refugees. No fires, no tents, nothing in sight.

>Check more closely.
>Call out for them.
>move out and search.

>How goes the development of the specialized crossbows and bows?
The enginseers are working on how to make the crossbows easier to pulback. The bows are a much simpler matter, and are ready to begin production.

The VTOL craft that carried Heinrich back to Pruzsia has returned, there are minor marks on its hull, but it is relatively undamaged. The pilot unloads two chests full of gold, a crate full of iron ingots, and a barrel of teeth. All of which bearing an insignias of a cross with a skull wearing laurels in the middle, a twin tailed comet, and a griffon.

Blast! Perhaps they left some tracks- wait. It's a long shot, but perhaps there could be a hidden bunker somewhere? It's unlikely but not impossible. If there are no bunkers or traps then scour the area. Do they have any drones? I can't remember who had drones or not.

>>2491628

Forgot to add:
>Ask the pilot about the contents.

>Check the on-board cameras for to see what happened

as for the answers:

>Ask the pilot what had transpired.
The scratches mainly came from aerial beasts that she came across on the journey to Pruzsia. As for the reception she tells of a warm welcome and celebration held by the city she arrived in. They celebrated the return of the Helmet and the discovery of us still being around.

>Ask the pilot about the imagery.
The cross, as she explains, is to symbolize that they will continue where we left off. Even though they don't exactly know what it means or what we were doing. The skull is represents the fate that happened to us, the fate that other races desire to bestow on them, and their determination to survive regardless. The laurels symbolize the belief that they are destined to rule. The twin taled comet symbolizes how we arrived on this world to begin with, the twin tails to represent engines. The griffon is the national animal of the federation as a whole.

>Check more closely.
The knights activate their drones to check the surroundings for any clues. They find that the area is still filled with heat signatures and humans life signs. They are well camouflaged.

>Write in.

>>2491854
>They find that the area is still filled with heat signatures and humans life signs. They are well camouflaged.

>Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Come out fellow sons and daughters of man. Come and greet us.

At first, there is silence. A quiet that feels so hard that it can be felt. Not a single sound was heard. Moments pass as the knights just stand there, staring into the plains.


Then, movement...

A mound of grass rises above the others, then it drops like a sheet. Revealing a man completely clad in black fabrics and leathers. He stands there in plain sight, staring at the guardsmen. Another moment passes before more reveal themselves. Eventually the whole camp sheds its cover.

1,313 people stand before you.

A guardsman hesitates for a moment, then gulps before speaking. "We are guardsmen of Amberfall, a remnant of the Republic of Alastair." He points to the flags. "We found reports of Terran refugees camping near our city, and wished to welcome them back into our nation. I'm sure it's been far too long since you folk have been home." The guardsman bows, a bead of sweat dropping from his brow as he awaits their response.

Sorry for how long it takes.

One of the reasons is different timezone, two is I have stuff to do like studying and appointments, three is that today I had to fetch my mother from the airport, fourth is that I only type with my index fingers. I move them as fast as I could, its not like type like a Sloth from zootopia, but I feel I still need to learn to use all of them to catch up. Also yesterday I factory reset my laptop... again...

I think its getting old.


>>2492227
>A guardsman hesitates for a moment, then gulps before speaking. "We are guardsmen of Amberfall, a remnant of the Republic of Alastair." He points to the flags.

The guardsman bows, a bead of sweat dropping from his brow as he awaits their response.

The guardsmen are met with silence, within the crowd he spots movement. The people move out of the path of an elderly man, seems to be in his 50's yet still visibly strong at the height of 6'2 feet. Wordlessly he strides towards the guardsmen, giant mace in hand, halting just within swinging distance. He stares at them dead in their eyes. Moments of uncomfortable silence come and go, the wind the noisiest thing in the area. Eventually he speaks.

"...Okay."

The man turns his head back to his group, looking at them and then tilts his head in the direction of the Guard.

"We'll trust them!" he shouts in a booming voice.

The refugees makes ready, hefting up previously unseen bags from the ground and packing in camouflage sheets and preparing to move.

"Lead the way home," The man says.

>>2492243
>"Lead the way home," The man says.
The Guard visibly relaxes, and breathes a sigh of relief. "Right this way, sir."
They'll have to go through the medical screening, but it shouldn't be a problem with how they seem like a hardy bunch.

>I only type with my index fingers. I move them as fast as I could, its not like type like a Sloth from zootopia, but I feel I still need to learn to use all of them to catch up. Also yesterday I factory reset my laptop... again...
I too had a similar problem when I was too used to typing while gaming. Affixing your index fingers to the ridges on the F and J keys helps with aligning the rest for mult-finger typing.

>>2492243
They seemed to have abandoned their previous home, why is that? Was it not their home but a place of respite? Are they nomadic?

>>2492259
>The Guard visibly relaxes, and breathes a sigh of relief. "Right this way, sir."
>They'll have to go through the medical screening, but it shouldn't be a problem with how they seem like a hardy bunch.
True, but better safe than sorry right?

At the end of this week around a large percentage have been screened and many have been found to have diseases and parasites. These ones will have to wait their turn.

>>2492305
>They seemed to have abandoned their previous home, why is that? Was it not their home but a place of respite? Are they nomadic?
If you recall the first thread, we let in 1000 refugees into our walls. These refugees were scared of the arrival of the Gear Elves in the north and decided to leg it. They knew not where they should go, just that they wanted to escape a possible invasion.

It's possible that these ones are doing the same.


BTW back to the pilot's recent trip to the Pruszic Federation:

Do we get partial benefits from partial completion? Does partial completion allow for the expansion of medical professionals?

>>2492353
>True, but better safe than sorry right?
Yeah. In retrospect, I could've tried integrating it into the Guard's dialogue.

>>Check the on-board cameras for to see what happened
Covers most of what we'll want to know.

>Check the on-board cameras for to see what happened

You need some practice.

Interesting use of camouflage. Anywhere in our archives or in the knights training regiment do they train in the art of stealth? If not then it might be of use to ask for some tips from these refugees so we can incorporate them training.
Speaking of refugees, what can they tell us about the gear elves? Did they seem hostile? How close to the old capital did they live?

The video feed shows the Pruzsics reacting to the craft like they would with any flying threat.

Mustering a large force of soldiers (picture shown) to march outside the city with impressing speed to meet a potential threat. Only for them to pause when Heinrich marches out to greet them. When he raises the Helmet for all to see, there erupts a shout of joy in the army. He then tells everyone of our continued existence and beckons the pilot to meet with the governor. The pilots agrees and walks out with him, being assured that the craft will be guarded until her return. A hours pass as craft just sits there, outside the walls, as the cameras watch the city erupt in celebration. when the pilot returns she does so with orc slaves following her as they carry the cargo that was delivered.

I'm honestly wondering why no ones asking about the barrel full of teeth but okay.

>>2494877
>I'm honestly wondering why no ones asking about the barrel full of teeth but okay.
I just assumed they were some odd kind of currency we'd never use. We should radio the Helfreyan sisters if the teeth hold any particular value.
Let's examine the teeth. If they're all from the same kind of animal, if they hold some kind of magical value, chemical.

Now back to the refugees. What can they tell us about the empty army base? Do they think it would be possible to restore it to make it partially liveable? they had some armored vehicles right?
So when we reach the city there will be the problem of housing. We can build some temporary homes until we figure out where to set them up then vaccinate them. (Make sure to hand out the pamphlets.)

>>2494877
Is there anything the elder of the refugees would like to tell us before we reach our destination? Would be like to talk about their home before they left?
Besides the army base, does he know of any ruins of interest? We're trying to piece back our empire.

What is the current status of our hold and capital? Food? Moral? Purity? Faith?

I like to point to point out that since we're no long in the cradle of the earth, our people's chances of falling to sin should be minimal thanks to living proof that God exists. Example: praying, dispelling magic, curing.

>>2495307
>I like to point to point out that since we're no long in the cradle of the earth,

They still can, apparently the religion was known and proven, yet a civil war still broke out before the fall of the Old Republic.

I figured it was Ork currency.

>>2495193

"Wait, what? The Pruzsics gave you what?" Audhild says over the radio with a tone of confusion. Then she has a conversation with her sister Brenda over the matter. Brenda seems to be equally confused, given her voice

"No idea why they'd give you that."

Let's examine the teeth. If they're all from the same kind of animal, if they hold some kind of magical value, chemical.


>>2495307
Now back to the refugees. What can they tell us about the empty army base?
"I know no base."


>So when we reach the city there will be the problem of housing.


We can build some temporary homes until we figure out where to set them up then vaccinate them. (Make sure to hand out the pamphlets.)
assuming they can read, sure.

>What is the current status of our hold and capital?
Quite good, all things considered.

>Food?
Stocked for food with all the hunting. The newly planted crops will generally take around 2 months to grow. Generally as in not all crops will mature at the same rate. The hunting will suffice for now but once the new refugees arrive things might get tricky. Perhaps some trade with the Glade Elves will be sufficient?

>Moral?
Absolutely high.

>Purity?
Whether if you mean spiritual purity or physical condition, we will have to run tests on everyone under our rule for it

>Faith?
The fact that God exists and the benefits of faith (as you've seen) has done wonders to dispel atheism, but before the civil war paganism ran rampant as people decided to practice and experience new and exotic religions. The city is absolutely devout but the outer villages and possibly the refugees may be (unknowingly or not) harboring hidden heathens. Lets not forget that even those that claim to be of the faith can turn out to have a warped sense of worship, or even just regard God as a civil servant with prayer as call and currency rather than what he really is.

>>2495307
>Moral?
Morals or morale?

If only I knew of an image for this.

>>2494877
>I don't think so, no.
In both to partial benefits and medical professionals?

>>2495932
>A god that acts like a civil servant?
I don't know how else to say it without pausing to think for a lengthy period of time but try and think of it this way:
"Dear God I have said 15 hail marys today and chanted for 5 minutes, can I have a new sports car?" or "Dear Lord, I flagellated for an hour, can you lower my taxes please?"

>>2495950
Like a celebrity businessman, that makes sense. That's what Santa is for.
>"Dear God I have said 15 hail marys today and chanted for 5 minutes, can I have a new sports car?" or "Dear Lord, I flagellated for an hour, can you lower my taxes please?"
Hah. The mental image is funnier than I expected.

>Collaborating with the Glad elves with the farms after the roads have been constructed might be a good idea. Time skip?

Does it include mundane corruption like bribes?

>Yeah, we can time skip to next event

2 days later
.
The Helfreyan sisters report that they have come across an old settlement. They say that this place was built to mimic the underground nature of dwarven life, the only one of its kind in Alistair. It was abandoned in the past due to an onslaught of poisonous gases unleashed during mining.

They also report rumors from the other ruins that the place was more for than just a simple mining gig. They ask for more support in case they need it.

>Send support.
>Not right now.

Another Elven Rider has come, they ask when the enginseers will arrive for the tesla reactor.
>Immediately.
>Wait for now.

The kerogrim report that they are making progress in ridding the local undreground of the Raskol, the knights are working well alongside the mercenaries the kerogrim have hired. They request more, if possible, to speed up reclaiming the warrens and move on to the next habitats.

>Do they help speed up production or project completion?
yes

Yes.
>Does it include mundane corruption like bribes?
Yes.

>This sounds too cheery.
Well, it would be a waste of their abilities if there was nothing to fight.

Also the knights report that they have tracked the vehicles to a city. The place is in ruins, like a post apocalyptic area. However, they detect that there are life and heat signatures within. Orders?

>Wait for support.
>Move to investigate.
>Return and have actual scouts do it.

Let us remember that our manpower and resources is finite.

>>2496468

shit. I was wondering how poorly we were managing our actions before.

>Do they help speed up production or project completion?
yes
>Does it include mundane corruption like bribes?
Yes.
Sweet. We might want to consider spending our points on capital in the future to automatically fulfill the roles of the other options.

>Let us remember that our manpower and resources is finite.
So uh. How much manpower and resources do we have to spare? We've got 4 options to divert units across.

>>2496468
it is both finite and infinite, we just don't know if it is or isn't. Its Schrödinger's cat!

>Not right now.
I expect they'll be fighting ruin guardians. Still, they're not a marauding threat, so they can be left alone if it's too much.

>Another Elven Rider has come, they ask when the enginseers will arrive for the tesla reactor.
>>Wait for now.
About 4 weeks. Education facilities > communication arrays > roads. Bringing everyone together will speed everything else up.

>Certainly.
Active, marauding threat. Most reinforcements will go here. Are riflemen effective in these quarters? We can send guardsmen so they can free up offensive units for operations.

>Also the knights report that they have tracked the vehicles to a city. The place is in ruins, like a post apocalyptic area. However, they detect that there are life and heat signatures within. Orders?
>Send drones, gain a sitrep.
These might be bandits, in which case they'll have to be dealt with. However, we don’t know how hostile they are.

>>2496468
>the sisters
>compromise
I don't suspect a need to fight. We can commission them some parakeets and oxygen tanks in case they encounter any pockets of gasses.

>glad elf settlement
I was waiting for this. We can send an engineseer now for repairs. I wa s actuallybwaiting on that.

>kerogrim
>yes?
If some of the fights take place underground, then flamethrower to deprive the enemies of oxygen might work (need air tanks for that)

>knights and the city
>Wait for support
>bring in a few additional knights, guardsmen and scouts.
Knights for elite troopers, guards for the bulwark of the force, scouts for....well doing their job. Because that's what they do.

>>2496468

For this i support >>2496565 vote for sending in guards and scouts to reinforce the knights.

>>2496480
Our capital, if I remember correctly, houses around a hundred thousand souls. Two thousand being the guardsmen, and fewer are knights and scouts. Hunters plan a sort of less military but equally dangerous job dependent on what they hunt. I like to think of hunters as an in between of the guardsmen and the scout.

It only my opinion.

>>2496529
>I expect they'll be fighting ruin guardians. Still, they're not a marauding threat, so they can be left alone if it's too much.
If there are any bandits, I hope we can convince them to heed the words of the gospel.. praise be to God the father alright!

>About 4 weeks. Education facilities > communication arrays > roads. Bringing everyone together will speed everything else up.
You bring up a fair point. What if we could spare an engineseer teacher or two though?

>Kerogrim troubles
Yeah actually maybe sending people with flamethrower might not be such a good idea. Better to air lift a squad of guardsmen with a surplus of munitions.

>bandits again
They might be sinners, but I hope they haven't completely damned themselves.

>>2496468
>They ask for more support in case they need it.
Could they be more specific in their request?

+1. I forgot about that.

>Knights for elite troopers, guards for the bulwark of the force, scouts for....well doing their job. Because that's what they do.
If we're sending in units, keep in mind they looted army bases, which would have guns.
Knights are vanguards, guards defend any secured areas and act as main units, riflemen provide overwatch. I don’t think we have any dedicated scouts, but sure.

>>2496585
>Our capital, if I remember correctly,
I meant capital as in capital goods like factories, not capital as in our government city.

200,000. Kerogrim's is 300,000 and 25% military.

>You bring up a fair point. What if we could spare an engineseer teacher or two though?
If we do that without significantly delaying any projects, sure. I'm not sure how much we can send before that becomes a problem, like with the Kerogrim's power armor facilities. Enginseer teachers would be ideal so we don't need to station units to keep the place running.
>"That, I don't know, I all I know is what everyone else does, that the generator for the Capital suffered a catastrophic melt down during a civil war. However, I also know that the generator has numerous fail safes to prevent something like that from happening. At least not accidentally, could have been anything from sabotage to absolute incompetence."
Is this the Tesla generator they're talking about? What do we need to send enginseers for?

The other one seems to be working.

>If there are any bandits, I hope we can convince them to heed the words of the gospel.. praise be to God the father alright!
>They might be sinners, but I hope they haven't completely damned themselves.
I was thinking of training military missionaries to be attached to units to do such a thing.

>Yeah actually maybe sending people with flamethrower might not be such a good idea. Better to air lift a squad of guardsmen with a surplus of munitions.
Flamethrower units would be like gassing the tunnels with the smoke, on top of how claustrophobic it is for fires. If there are friendlies inside it wouldn't be great.
They could be ideal for city clearing, assuming we’re okay with the fires.

"Transport for more cargo mostly, as well as extra hands. A few extra guard couldn't hurt, but we don't think we'll need 'em."

>Yeah actually maybe sending people with flamethrower might not be such a good idea. Better to air lift a squad of guardsmen with a surplus of munitions.
When darkness falls, a squad of guardsmen and extra munitions are airlifted over the land and lands discreetly into kerogrim territories to deposit the load.

An team of Enginseer teachers are dispatched immediately to study and restore whatever technology the elves have.

The knights wait outside and await further orders until support arrives
What support do you want to send?

Are they still going for discreet entry or are you going to try to invade?

>>2496705
>"Transport for more cargo mostly, as well as extra hands. A few extra guard couldn't hurt, but we don't think we'll need 'em."
"That's fine. If you bite off more than you can chew, feel free to extract yourselves."

>>2496705
>What support do you want to send?
Scouts to utilize the drones, riflemen on overwatch, and guardsmen to secure entry points. If the knights don't count, a missionary. APCs considering the distance.
I'm assuming there's an army base worth of people in there.
>Are they still going for discreet entry or are you going to try to invade?
Discreet. We still need to learn more about them.

>However, they detect that there are life and heat signatures within.
How much?

>>2496705
>the sisters
If it's simple cargo transports then we can spare those.

>Are they still going for discreet entry or are you going to try to invade?
Discretion. Learn as much as we can from them, and act accordingly.

Last I checked the scouts that were captured by the sisters that one time only had a revolver a knife and some other stuff. I'm not too sure that the scouts (unless specifically from the order of the Crimson Blade) are proficient in utilizing drones.
A reinforcements could simply arrive with a drone, though I fear the drone might be shot down if they notice it. Aren't the riflemen and guardsmen the same unit?

Could be bandits.

>>2496859
>Aren't the riflemen and guardsmen the same unit?
No, they're different. Guardsmen, Riflemen, Knights were the first official units we could train. Riflemen and Knights are of the Crimson Blades.

>Last I checked the scouts that were captured by the sisters that one time only had a revolver a knife and some other stuff.
We can equip them for urban operations. I get the impression scouts are from the same pool hunters are.
>I'm not too sure that the scouts (unless specifically from the order of the Crimson Blade) are proficient in utilizing drones.
We're training our units, so they should be more educated than before. The riflemen could also do it, since they'll be overwatching anyways.
>A reinforcements could simply arrive with a drone, though I fear the drone might be shot down if they notice it.
I figured a drone would do an aerial scan like a UAV. Beyond that they should be sticking close to any units they'll be attached to.

>Last I checked the scouts that were captured by the sisters that one time only had a revolver a knife and some other stuff.
Those were guardsmen scouts whose equipment, before we changed that, varied based on each individuals wealth. The scouts of the order are more high tech.

>No, they're different. Guardsmen, Riflemen, Knights were the first official units we could train. Riflemen and Knights are of the Crimson Blades.
A little more complicated than that but that sums it up generally speaking. I'll go into more detail on this soon.


>I figured a drone would do an aerial scan like a UAV. Beyond that they should be sticking close to any units they'll be attached to.
A drone is dispatched to scan the area. When it arrives, it is only able to scan the city block immediately in front of the knights as well as the blocks adjectent to those before something starts jamming the drone. The drone loses signal and immediately turns around to return to the signal. When the link is reestablished, no on-board records are found within the drone.

any jamming towers, satellite dishes or something outside?
Send scouts.

>>2499253

The same as missionaries.

>>2499524
missionaries for what? i'm a little lost.
