The extensive military reforms of the Redwire family have been enacted by the government, which includes not just upgrades to equipment, but also such things as learning about siege warfare, and the construction of a lake fleet. Some of the more controversial aspects are being debated upon, specifically whether the military priests should be followers of Rok, Ozatl, or both. Nevertheless, both the Guardians of Nichitin and the Heirs of Chalit are born along with a fortified barrack within the capital, watchtowers, and several shipyards. While the time needed to enact the reforms is long, and the costs will be enormous, most seem in favor of the act (7 years for all reforms to be enacted).

A secondary vote for you all:
>Only Rok priests allowed
>Only Ozatl priests allowed
>Both allowed

No longer will we just inlay mediocre bronze and copper items with our beautifully cut obsidian, instead the inlaid items themselves will also be true masterworks, forged in the complex by our own master smiths. For this end we have invested much time and money into the training of our smiths, to become masters of bronze (perhaps even glow bronze?) forging, into the raw materials needed for true masterworks and have hired experts from all over to teach us their craft. Now we are (hopefully) in a position to produce brilliantly made and innovative designed weapons and armor, inlaid with the finest obsidian.

Early in the year, the Legs call for a public forum at the Councilhouse, and urge all who can attend to do so. Tens of thousands clamor outside, waiting for... well, whatever it is. The streets are alive, street vendors peddling their spiced bugs. Yet the atmosphere in the air is one of bated breath, anticipation of... something. Notable members of society are in attendance, including members of the Old Way, and several prominent disciples of Ozatl. Eventually, the eight Legs step out of the Councilhouse and onto a wooden platform set up on the grounds before the building. Taking turns to speak, what they say is this.

"Gnoll emissaries have visited us from Danzay, members of the old sun cult that was overtaken by the worship of the gnoll god Taletos. They claim that Ozatl and Taletos are collaborating, and while they offer no evidence, one of them has clearly been severely tortured, which they say is the price they paid for the knowledge. We will not disclose their whereabouts. This is not to be a lynch mob."

The crowd, immediately, is in an uproar, as some call for the heads of the gnolls who speak such lies, and others, while perhaps not comfortable with this information coming from gnolls, quietly affirm to themselves and those who can hear them that they knew it all along—that Ozatl was too good to be true!

Those of you who are gathered here, do you have any questions? What will you do? This could be as simple as getting a bite to eat, or as complex as trying to start a riot.

>>4046793
I shall take to the streets and make a large public speech, intended to ensure the disciples of Ozatl, as well as the rest of the population, that this is a Gnollish lie, being perpetrated to undermine the faith and sow division in our country so that the Gnolls can gain more power over us.

"We are not here to pass judgement or to say whether this is true or not. This information merely needed to be given to the public."

Though other questions were fielded, they resulted in very little of the way of answers. Instead, a riot broke out! While Levsteinin initially kept his people in check, Hashin quickly demanded a public demonstration against Ozatl and Artamono concurred that the two gods were likely linked, which the Prophet could not ignore. Quickly organizing, handing out weapons and such, Levsteinin has proclaimed that both the government and the pacifists are selling the public out to the gnolls! A bitter killing field begins in front of the Councilhouse, a few Legs and many pacifists being cut down by the Ozatl worshippers, before the Redwire warriors and the Black Brood arrive to stop them. Dozens have been killed, and many more are injured, but the followers of the Old Way whisk the gnolls away and secure them in the Bank of Nichitin, a solid structure of stone and marble! As it is now, the streets are still chaotic, and most Legs are either missing or dead. The military is disorganized, some working to quell the violence, others picking sides and either demonstrating with the pacifistic Old Way groups, or bloodying the streets further, though this number is being overwhelmed by the Redwire clan, who appear to have rescued two of the Legs, and are keeping the civilians safe. It appears the Republic has fallen, as even the Councilhouse is ablaze.

Levsteinin is backed up by the Hairybacks and the Metalfangs, both smaller families, but with some influence, with the Hairybacks having a former Leg among them. He also has the support of Rak'tan and his lot, the most famous artisans of the tropical south. Their troops are amassing outside the walls of Nichitin, having been forced out after the riot. Ozatl himself is with them, along with 50 Sentinels.

Hashin, on the other hand, stands alone. However, though the followers of the Old Way are outnumbered by the Ozatl worshippers, the Old Way is only a sect of the Rok worshippers within the nation. These worshippers are less pacifistic, and could easily provide a force for his men to summon up. However, with the enemy at the gates, they are somewhat stuck. The Brotherhood appears to have escaped to Ier in the chaos, and could potentially provide backup if they reach Ier in time.

Lastly, the Nichitin defense forces, disorganized as they are, are made up of Artamono and his guild, some of the army, the Black Brood, and the Redwires. They appear to be only interested in keeping the peace, but are similarly trapped in the city, most Ozatl followers seeing them as complicit by their refusal to turn on Hashin.

All three parties, I will talk to you all in discord, as to keep actions private. Rolls will be in thread, however.

The Old Way suffers from the siege, as boats were burnt in the chaos, leaving very little way for people to trickle in. However, rousing music played by the Clan of Zhu as Hashin IV makes a speech results in much of the public being roused. The Republic itself, having little other choice, recruits much the same way and sides with the Rok worshippers, refusing to allow the capital to become a slaughtering ground. While ostensibly more of the public sides with them than with Hashin, they all are fighting for the same cause.

The Ozatl worshippers manage to rouse a greater number quickly due to using the presence of god himself as propaganda... speaking of which...

An ultimatum is issued to the Loyalists, made up of the seperate factions of the Republicans and the Old Way. It calls for the end of hostilities, and reform. Specifically, Hashin will be tried as a traitor and ally of the gnolls, while the government will be reformed so that the Legs are divided into 4 Secularists and 4 Ozatlists.

What say you, Loyalists?

>>4047172
"It was for the people to decide, for Democracy to prevail always. You disregarded all that when you burnt the government building down and killed the elected representatives without trial. The Republic will not fall to this madness."

The ultimatum is promptly rejected, though one thing is noted by the defenders. The messenger is taller, broader, and altogether different from what they expect arachenians to look like. Worse, as the rebel army approaches the gates, they do see with over ten thousand of these figures, and Ozatl himself. The great spider stands as wide as several elephants, and slightly taller than the gates, which range from twelve to fifteen feet tall at any given portion. While the defending army is larger, they are intimidated, as the battle begins!

(How this works mechanically is that bonuses, which are worth double what they normally are, apply directly to an army. Both sides roll three times, and the rolls are added up, along with the bonuses.)

Rebel army: +20 strength, +10 morale, +50 Ozatl

MINOR SUCCESS FOR LOYALISTS

The initial charge at the gate appears to go in favor of the rebels, Sentinels charging towards the gates with large pieces of lumber. However, before they can bash in the doors, spikes of metal drive out of the gates, before returning to their position—they pierce the heads of the oncoming sentinels, and they drop to the dusty ground, dead. However, there is no time to celebrate! Still they come!

(Each turn, both sides can state what they want to focus on doing, similar to battles versus NPCs. This way tactics still plays a major role.)

SUCCESS FOR THE REBELS

Having faith in their god, the more powerful arachenians charge for the gate, speared as they are by arrows and spears. It receives quite a battering, so while it holds for now, who knows how much more it can take? Giants behind it are one thing, but even they cannot prevent the barrier from being battered by clubs and rams! Ozatl marches forward as well, as Levsteinin orders the army to fully break down the gate! A handful of Sentinels even help soldiers up onto the walls, where they begin to combat the archers and spear throwers.

Nuin of Zhu, the head of the clan and bravest of the brave, throws his cloak and hat to the side and flourishes his spear dramatically.
"Send your bravest to fight me! I'll take on anyone of you!"

Naturally his warriors cheer and bash their spears on hard objects, like enemy heads.

268 vs 238 - MINOR SUCCESS FOR THE REBELS

Ozatl himself is attacking the gates, using his massive legs against the walls of the city. Previously he had been using magic to strengthen his followers, but now, he instead focuses on physically bringing himself into the fray! It holds still, due to the efforts of the loyalists, but the walls are now a battleground all of their own, which was what the rebels were hoping for. They charge forward,

267 vs 187 - SUCCESS FOR THE LOYALISTS

Despite their success at getting onto the walls, the rebels are driven back off, kicked off or killed, their bodies thrown onto their comrades. The gate holds, and what's more, Ozatl is stopped by a combination of Artamono, Nuin, and Alut. The former strengthens the wall and makes it grow, resisting the spider, while the latter jab at the eyes of the great beast, Alut managing to put one out!

288 vs 205 - CRITICAL SUCCESS FOR THE REBELS

The gate crumples inwards as the Ozatlists surge into the city! While they are met with giants, arachenians, and even ghouls, their comrades on the walls have finally broken through, and join them on the streets below. The battle is in the streets now... yet hope is not lost for the Loyalists, who still hold both the numbers and have managed to injure Ozatl. But how long can they fight in the face of such a fearful power?

272 vs 190 - CRITICAL SUCCESS FOR THE REBELS

The rebels are successfully pushing the loyalists further into the city, their wrathful god taking out his anger on the enemy. The loyalist morale is at an all time low, their backs pushed against the wall... yet both armies are now receiving reports of the same thing. An Isarnite army of perhaps 20,000 men is approaching, and is perhaps two days away. Yet there was no word sent to the Ozatlists, their potential allies, which brings caution into Levsteinin's mind. The most you can do at this point is burn the nearest bridge and give yourselves a few more days.

"I am Nuin and you will fight me!"

Kill the rebels before they put a knife in our back during the next fight, rousing speech of how look the rebels are aiding isarn!

>>4047400
>Work together (with caveats)
-Hashin is executed
-Bank is nationalized
-Ozatl is the officially endorsed religion of the state

We need to stand together now, we will all lose if we continue to fight

>>4047413
I will accept these terms with no additions, should the Loyalists agree to them.

>>4047400
"Citizens look outward, look to what has become of the Rebel side! Their god found to be a liar and cheat and now suddenly Isarn is moving forward? What a strange coincidence! to have an army like that just ready to deploy the moment the rebels rise up! See that you have been played by traitors and cheats! Turn upon them fight for your city and republic lest we either live under a yoke with a knife held at our back by these rebels, traitors!"

>>4047413
-Ozatl is the officially endorsed religion of the state
"never you plunged us into chaos for this!"

>>4047400
>Continue the battle

>>4047421
"Do you retards think we would be negotiating if an army was marching to aid us? Why do you so desperately want to continue this fight just to become Isarns slave no matter whom of us triumphs?"

>>4047413
"Hashin is not to be handed over, nor will you force your faith upon us. Thirdly, ummm, I don't really know what a bank is so you can have that.
Fourth, I demand that one of you face me in individual combat."

>>4047428
"yes so we stop fighting and let you sink a knife into our back, you are the rebel the burden of earning trust is on you!"

>>4047413
Utter capitulation is not acceptable. You still need our help to defeat the invader army. The Bank will be nationalized and a tax put on all pacifists who refuse to defend the Republic. We will forget about claims that Ozatl was working with the gnoll God. There will be no state religion. 4 Secular Legs, 4 Ozatl Legs.

>>4047428
"If you truly desire for us to work together then why make such demands upon us? Offer us the hand of friendship with no strings attached. Such a hand I would accept."

>>4047436
I can agree to that for the good of our nation

>>4047436
"..... Fine."

>>4047436
Is agree to these terms

>>4047436
"We will never forget that truth nor everyones attempts to cover it up. I have send word to Ier to have them come aid us. They will want us to be protected regardless...and you know whose side they are on"

>>4047436
I can live with that.

>>4047436
I will accept these terms if, and only if, Hashin and his ilk are declared outlaws for fleeing the city, amongst other reasons which I've already stated.

Otherwise the fight shall continue.

>>4047465
Eat a dick

>>4047465
"Then fight we shall."

>>4047465
They will have a trial to determine their guilt of whatever crimes, we are not savages. Until the trial is concluded they are not guilty after, well whatever

>>4047465
Hirkich the Younger has Hashin declared a deserter for fleeing the battle of the capital

>>4047465
Ask your God if he wants to continue this fight while the invaders come to finish him. Ask him if he wants to duel me. Their status will be that they will have to pay their taxes when they return.

>>4047465
accept

>>4047465
Accept

>>4047465
Accept

>>4047465
We shall leave all proceedings of innocence and guilt until after the Isarnites threat has been destroyed or pushed back. If we do not unite now they will overrun and destroy the country it will render any justice we desire moot.
Agreed?

>>4047465
A trial will determine if any wrongdoing was done. Since your god is a chicken can he actually fight the invaders?

"The Rebels talk of working together yet they are making all the demands, their new god shows up and causes the turmoil which resulted in this war! You declare a Spider guilty with no trial, you bring blood into the streets and now Isarn bare down on us and you have the nerve to make demands? You are the rebels, the rule breakers those fighting against the established order you have no right to decide anything! So crawl bag to your hole and die in in traitorous scum"

>>4047533
>>4047537
We asked for a trial before this needless slaughter started, and you turned us down in favor of bloodshed. Your audacity and gall in demanding one now is pathetic. Nevertheless, we're far more open and forgiving than you. We shall agree to a trial, in Hashin's absence or otherwise. He and those associated with him will be tried for any crimes they've committed, banditry, corruption, treason, sedition, and deserting, where applicable. This is to be done in conjunction with the rest of the terms proposed by Artamono. The verdict is to be delivered by the newly reformed Legs. But this must be done as soon as possible, before any more fighting, to ensure there's nothing lingering over the men.

>>4047627
Fine

>>4047627
Accept

>>4047627
"The one who drew first blood prattle on about being the forgiving one, what a hoot.
I have already stated my refusal, only after lsarn is driven off will I consider engaging in any further talk on the topic."
