"The drakes tend to be reserved, and at times Xenophobic. As a result, I was unsure whether or not they'd get along well with dwarves, so I decided to be safe. It also helps with Organization, separating my army groups. You're mainly supplies, however you'll see action don't worry.

>>2567752
The drakes seem to enjoy your war stories. The only great beast that truly flew was a dragon, at least as far as they knew. However, they are intrigued at the idea of a great bird, and tell you that it would have been no match to the power of a dragon. However, they also enjoy your stories about bashing in trolls, and take some tips from you on how to kill a troll the best.

Advancing along the river, all seems to go well. Very few dare interfere with you, and those who do suffer a grim fate at the hands of the Drakes. Proceeding through the lands, we see ruins and some abandoned huts and farms... They were clearly either evacuated, or haven't been used in quite a while. Eventually, we pass by some towns and and hamlets, all of which contain dark skinned humans, while the humans of the drakes are quite a bit fairer, if only tanned, these humans are black. They were in chains, and have been freed by Alberto, who triumphantly declares, "My People! I have come to free you!" Those dark skinned join our army, and take up arms, the surplus we have left. However, the women and children stay in a safer location within the army. We haven't encountered much resistance, and any who stand in our way are crushed by the drakes.

After several days of marching, you finally reach a city by the river, with towering walls, and statues of beings you are uncertain of. There is plenty of housing around the city. There seems to be a massive gate in front of those towering walls, and we cannot truly peer inside. Alberto falls to his knees and kisses the ground, crying tears of joy. "Lakoranda... I've returned." He relishes the moment, however afterwards he stands up.

"Meet the city of Lakoranda friends! This is your primary target. It appears that there are trolls and dwarves here. They knew they could not challenge our army out in the open! An army of Ten-Thousand strong awaits to drive them out! The dwarven bandit clans are fierce fighters, but they do not match us in formation. As for the trolls, we have the numbers. We shall slaughter all of those who have resided in my city for so long. Rest today, tommorrow the battle begins."

The night passes by uneventfully, the drakes are ever-vigilant. What do we do now?

Days and days of bombardment, by drake ballistas and the dwarven FYT slowly but surely brings the walls down. Two of the sections of wall have been fully collapsed, including the gate.

The drakes smash into the enemy lines! It appears they were not fully prepared for us. The ferocity of the drakes cannot be matched by the trolls or the dwarves, with their inner fire growing with every bit of blood shed on either side. The humans and the Elves also fight valiantly, but none can match the drakes. The heaviest of their infantry look like killing machines. We see a drake archer with an odd-looking bow shooting colorful arrows into the crowd of enemies, the arrows when fired turn into fireballs. The battle continues to unfold as Alberto watches from a distance, content with what is occurring on the battlefield... He need not intervene yet.

While we are able to smash the first part of their lines, they fall back into the city. While we are able to free many people from what appear to be slave quarters and rid them of their shackles, the enemy is putting up a stubborn resistance! The bandits do not want to lose control of this city so easily.

Pressing onward and onward the drakes plow through the streets, with their spears they are able to impale the trolls easily due to there being less of a height difference. Many trolls fall, and bandits continue to try and ambush us. We've fully pushed the enemy out of the slave quarters, and the dark-skinned slaves have fled to our camp with Alberto Barbosa. We start to press into the upper-class areas! We are nearing closer and closer to the Palace. Alberto watches closely, waiting to see what happens as his people behind him seem to be taking from the supplies we have given them.

We manage to make it through the gates of the palace! What follows is nothing short of a bloodbath. Alberto takes his revenge, very painfully. He slaughters the leaders of the 5 bandit clans, and enslaves the trolls within his city. The Bandit dwarves are executed as well. The drakes and our dwarves are permitted to go home. There will be no pillaging today, Only rebuilding. He yells out across the city, "Lokranda Forevah!" He calls the leader of this expeditionary force to the palace, sitting upon the throne once more he feels satisfied. For this favor, Alberto has rewarded us with one favor from him we can use at any time. However, we should no longer call him Alberto. His real name is T'Wellal. We return home, having seen distant lands. He informs us that he has also broken the curse that the troll mage has put on him, he no longer feels crushing guilt, only greatness... As for his immortality, he's chosen to keep it a little while longer. Truly amazing!

After creating papyrus paper, we asked ourselves an important question. How do we write on this? We used markings with sticks in clay tablets to create our letters. After some searching, we realized that reeds could be very useful to write with. In addition, the dwarves use dyes, plant saps, and even sometimes animal blood. While we do have to dip the reed in ink often, it enables us to write down our thoughts on paper, which is much more easily stored compared to clay tablets. Although some old-fashioned folks still prefer clay tablets.

As our enemies grow more dangerous, and bigger, literally we must develop new weapons to fight them. As such, we create longer spears. These longer spears are able to combat the enemy far more effectively. The Dragonforge assists us with this, and gives us a massive boon. The Sarissa is invented. Far longer than your standard spear, it gives our dwarves extremely long range, enabling to have several lines poised to thrust these weapons into the enemy. Perfect for battle against the trolls.

The guild celebrated the completion of their library, the first small but important achievement to their name. It would be another learning center among the Dwarven nation.

FP 3
There were many different kinds of magic in the world, and many different ways people used it.

Instead of trying to discover a new magic, the Guild wanted to figure out how to make it easier for more people to use.

They took some novice magic users and presented them with items often used to cast magic. From staffs, to bones, to small animals, to just using bare hands or words.

It turned out the easiest way to use magic was the Wand.

The guild want to develop a new "Standard Wand". Mana crystals would be cut into the same shape, and a common mold would be made in which copper would be poured to form the base of the wand. This way each wand would function the same, and it'd be easier to train. If they pulled this off, more magically sensitive students would be able to study the arts!

>>2572298

The Library is built in the main hold, and while construction was slow initially, it ramped up as the demand for papyrus grew. Many people helped you finish the library as an important repository of knowledge in the Serene Valley. You also have received copies of some texts that have been stored in various areas, and people have begun to store papyrus texts in your library as well.

As for the Improvement for the T-bow, the cartridge Idea does work, and shortens reload time. Although we must be careful with using these, as crystal supplies start to run low if we use too much of them. Right now the Crystal grotto has approximately 60% of its crystals left. The slide lock idea doesn't work, mainly because the force used typically breaks the side lock unless its reinforced, which makes it so cumbersome to use its easier to just put the rock from the front of the barrel. The cartridge is very efficient, although precious.

Although you are able to create the standard wand, it works all nicely. However, the mana crystal doesn't enhance its casting power at all. From studying staffs that were acquired previously, it appears that mana crystals do not work, rather gems must be mounted at the top of wands.

While it replenishes the crystal supply it is still quite small, especially for our growing population. It seems that the detectors are faulty, we are not sure.

We construct roads leading to our southern towns! This encourages people to settle in the south simply by creating ease of access which fosters trade and travel towards the southern lands. This also links the southern lands into our nation fully and adds them to our road network. Should any threats from the south arise, we will be able to respond quickly.

We have built roads and expanded our empire.

But communication rules the world.

Establish that all letters and messengers are government protected, and messengers get free passes at tolls and paid inn service and the right to requisition a horse to deliver messages. It is a crime to delay a messenger, or read a message not meant for you.

Lamellar is new from the southern campaign, we haven't produced it en masse yet. Stockpiles read: average.

>>2572477
I agree

The messenger system is created. All messengers have privileges that allow them to move as fast as possible throughout the Serene Valley. To prevent any fraud, seals are issued by the senate, if you don't have a seal you do not get the privileges. Messages of Papyrus and clay tablet can now be carried very quickly on goat riding messengers, greatly improving communication.

I just finished reading up. Crystal seems to be a critical resource limiting our magitech output, while finding additional mines does solve that for some time it is not a permanent solution. So I`d propose to research into trying to artificially create those crystal (probably very hard) or maybe make them grow by having magic user pump mana into them/perform special rituals (more moderate difficulty I assume). Maybe we could set up crystal farms and permanently work around that resource shortage.

You work hard at attempting to figure out how the wave trident was created. You do figure out that it requires a metal of rare quality or better and a very experienced runesmith to be able to do it. You do manage to find out something important, it turns out that the person who goes into the weapon must die, and their soul must be "caught" with a spell, you aren't sure what kind and then put into the weapon in a way you don't know how.

You find a small vein of Onyx, while it isn't as strong as a want with say, ruby or other gems, the onyx crystals are able to power up your spells by some amount.

You continue to improve your efficiency in metal working. As it appears, forging runes into hammers (Which will need to be made of Terite) can improve their smithing capabilities. Adding the Level 3 spell Lesser Metal Manipulation to a hammer can significantly improve its ability to hammer down a weapon and create a much sharper edge.

>>2572768
Difficulty: Sliding
You don't find anything interesting with the exception of a couple of small caves with nothing in them.

>>2573876
Difficulty: Very Hard
You're able to create the primitive printing press, however it takes very long to carve the block, meaning that the news isn't very recent simply due to that delay. In addition, the ink tends to get extremely smudged and sometimes is simply unreadable. This process also consumes a very large amount of ink, and wastes much paper. Errors on the wood block itself makes it so that the entire block has to be discarded, wasting wood in the process as well.. Very inefficient.

With enough dwarves and a strong enough rope, we are able to pull heavy weights higher and higher with relative ease! Ramps are no longer required to bring heavy stones up to the top and as a result, we are capable of building higher buildings, both within our holds and outside, enabling us to create towers and larger fortifications more easily.

We begin to construct bigger and bigger walls, as well as constructing some simple towers as strongpoints along the walls. On top of that, these towers can act as strong locations from where archers can fire and give the soldiers manning it somewhat of an increased sight range. These are added to all the towns as well as the great northern wall. This reassures people who have been tense since the last confrontation with the trolls.

Military Reform- A Grand Army
Our Republic requires a Grand Army to defend it. In order to do so it must be well equipped and trained.
To do this each district will have its senator in charge of overseeing these actions in preparing an army from each district that will come together in war.
The professional forces in each district will help train the levied forces for war with the professionals making up the core of each district army.

The Grand army is formed. It is separated into districts to ensure that we have maximum oversight. Senators overseeing the districts are given the title of warlord and command of the professional armies. Our people shall be trained by the professionals, ensuring that we have a good standard of education. The male dwarves are growing more and more prepared as each day of training passes by. Needless to say Tokrab is impressed by our work in constructing a powerful military.

As you advance forwards into the mountains, you start to see traces of trolls within these western lands. Abandoned Hovels that used to be inhabited by trolls, no dwarf would bear living in a house such as this. Proceeding further on, you manage to sneak past several troll patrols, luckily. As you camp by the ledge of a mountain, you see across the valley... Trolls. Lots of them. There are several passes leading out of the mountains, and the valley in which these trolls inhabit. However, not too far away you see two important trolls talking between each other, watched by guards. What will you do?

As you listen to the conversation, the trolls start to speak, and those who know troll amongst you start to hear the following conversation, these trolls speak far differently than any troll you've met. They actually speak more eloquently than most, it is confusing to say the least but both seem to have battle scars upon them, and on top of that they seem to wear regal attire.
Troll 1: "You are the King of Ragkor, I apologize for forcing you to come all the way out here, but the other trolls cannot know this."
Troll 2: "It is alright Boglak, you are the messenger from the Underworld of Anathanas'Thok, what news do they have for us?"
Troll 1: "Anathanas is raising an army, He calls it The Unstoppable Swarm. He demands that Ragkor help him in this and that they be ready for when they are called upon."
Troll 2: "Before I say anything... Does he have the blessing of the worldshaper? I have heard rumors that he is the chosen one by the worldshaper, to unite the trolls and destroy the dwarves."
Troll 1: "What the hell do you think he's doing your majesty, King Vorbuk? Anathanas is his chosen, his champion standing to lead the armies of the trolls. Anything less is heresy. The worldshaper himself did it to him in a ceremony in the Underworld. He possesses capabilities stronger than any troll, more intelligence, his strength is unrivaled."
Troll 2: "I shall trust you on this Boglak. Anathanas shall have my aid."
Boglak extends his hand, and the King grabs it, as if it were a gesture of sealing a pact.
Troll 2:" Let the world tremble like the earth will when the greatest swarm of trolls ravages these lands."
They both grin at each other, and go their separate ways.

Dear Dwarves of the Serene Valley Republic,

We are thankful regarding this new information. The Unstoppable Swarm does seem to be a dire threat, however the Legions of the Great Dragonforge shall be able to counter it, at least so we hope. Should it ever be required, we shall send you a message informing that we will have launched what is known as "The Last Crusade" in the name of the Worldshaper.

The favorite son of the Worldshaper, Forendas had gone mad and led half of the earthen titans away to the lands of the trolls, where they became their Gods. He seeks to usurp the Worldshaper, and form a new world, dominated by him, and him alone. As for Anathanas.. It is true, he is a troll whose powers are far stronger than any other troll. However, our King is a master of battle, and has been blessed with powers by the Worldshaper as well.

As for construction, the Crane is invented! This crane is a major step up from the pulley. While it is still primitive, it is a very efficient machine that will greatly aid in construction.

A clever dwarven crane builder surmised that if one increased the size of the counterweight on the back end and used a pulley to wind down the arm, the stored energy could be employed to hurl heavy projectiles (or anything -- burning pitch, metal balls, etc.) The trebuchet.

Takes awhile to reload, but not a whole day like the FYT. Maybe build a few and stick 'em behind the northern wall so they can smush things on the other side.

We need armaments for our people to stand against this storm. What will throwing A few extra rocks against a tide do?

The Clever Dwarven crane builder's idea was ahead of its time... The Military was overcome with a new invention. The Ballista. Capable of throwing large bolts/arrows at the enemy at a long distance, and if used persistently can topple walls with its massive bolts. While it is not a trebuchet, as our first non-runecrafted Siege Engine, it is a step towards a trebuchet. (Ruling it metagaming as this is tech way beyond its time)

We begin to develop armor, and start to use an amazing new kind of helmet, which protects us far better than any helmet thus far. While it does restrict vision and is quite heavy on the head it provides maximum protection for the face, head, and often times neck. This shields our soldiers' heads from harm and can potentially save many lives.
