Unfortunately, we do not have enough participants. We need at least 4 players for a multiplayer game, because usually, 50% of players quit, so this is the minimum for a good run.

My concept was that I was going to take the environment at random from the realms created in Primordial Multiplayer God Quest >>5212663.
>>
There are 8 different divine realms where the multiplayer civilization game can be held.

Shong's Realm >>5213007
An ocean of sand.

Oceanus' Realm >>5213028
A large, seemingly endless expanse of water. The skies above are dominated by massive rain clouds, and a gentle but insistent rain falls on the ocean below ceaselessly. This realm is later turned into Quelon's Theosphere.

Alcomo's Realm >>5213061
A gigantic building, the walls gilded in gold and silver. Within are hundreds of halls and rooms, with many dedicated to a different game of chance and form of gambling each. A few rooms remain empty, as without mortals or servants to fill them with to exchange flesh for money or favors, they lack purpose.

Thyp'ptyklpt's Realm >>5213097
A library as its realm of infinite proportions to house knowledge that will be gathered for itself.

Yrsiil God of the Deep's Realm >>5213141
An infinitely deep ocean melding almost perfectly with space.

ShadeOfApophis' Realm >>5213194
The Grove of the Dead: a realm of rotting fruits and dead plants.

Eremog's Realm >>5213409
A planet of molten rock and volcanoes is created filled with enough lava to forge a billion swords.

Monkie's Realm >>5213555
A planet of mighty jungles filled with apes.
>>
>>5239324
Insects. I’d like to start in the great library. Hopefully we get more players, I didn’t even see this thread pop up until now.

And also, QM, don't despair if your game is sluggish to gain traction. /qst/ is a generally slow board.
I've actually had the pleasure to play some of your games before and they were fairly spirited and entertaining. Have patience and try to bear with the start-up period, I'm sure we'll all be having a blast soon enough.

You are in the Great Library, the divine realm of the dreadful Thyp'ptyklpt, god of Secrecy and Knowledge. The Great Library is an endless expanse of shelves and books, said to stretch infinitely in every direction. The main inhabitants are the “Scribes of Thyp”, the mysterious gatherers of knowledge. Your race lives in the Great Hall, which is filled with strange tomes about the inner workings of the universe. This hall is vast, with a size of 1 km2. Four aisles stretch from the Great Hall: one to the north, to the east, to the south, and to the west.

Rumor: it is said that a small tribe of Atlantean African Americans has been spotted in the eastern aisles (>>5239485).

>Each ciz starts with a population of 100
>You currently do not own any item or technology of any sort

>>5239328
Player Anonymous
[Mystery Box: Undead rolled 7]

A group of undead live in the north-east corner of the Great Hall. Perhaps raised from the cadavers of Scribes of Thyp, or other creatures. Most of them are deformed, mindless zombies, who do nothing but eat, but their Mythical Leader possesses great intelligence, and is a renown necromancer. Here, the stench of rot is unbearable for living beings, and the Scribes themselves avoid this section.

>Name your Mythical Leader

>>5241463
Player PathwayToEnlightenment

The undead necromancer, with a spell that took one hundred years to cast, cloned themselves and sent the clone and a group of undead to build a colony in the noth-west corner. The clone is, in all aspects, identical to the original spellcaster, but more hideous in appearance. The colony has now developed into its own society, and has cut all ties with the original group of undead.

>Describe your particular flavor of undead

>>5240369
Player Ratard
The skaven, a race of man-sized anthropomorphic rats, live in the south-east corner of the Great Hall. They have evolved from regular library rats, who gained sentience and a higher size from countless generations that fed from the divine books of the library. The most powerful of them, the Plague Mage, has gained control over diseases of all sorts. In fact, because their diet is particularly compatible with the environment, they reproduce at a spectacular rate compared to the other races.

Player Silverfish
The voracious insect hive lives in the south-west corner of the Great Hall. They have eaten most of the tomes in that section, and it is said that the loss of knowledge from the books they have eaten is a disaster of incomparable proportion. Indeed, the books of the Great Hall are the direct creation of Thyp'ptyklpt, and they are priceless. The Scribes, however, have not taken any action.

>Choose one strong mutation, or two minor mutations. Example of mutations (from post >>1525150): burrowing claws, wings, poisonous stingers, snapping claws

>>5241352
QM Wuxian
A group of perfidious goblins reside in the western aisles. They are known to be extremely hateful and destructive, and they have exterminated all the other races that used to live in the library, which resulted in the loss of all previously known civilization. Generally, they are feared and avoided by everyone.

>>5241352
Shared Civ
There is also a settlement of human beings in the center of the hall. They have made a circle of shelves around their territory as protection against the more hostile races. They have managed to survive for several generations, feeding from books mostly, but many members of their tribe have gone missing recently.

MINI-EVENT

The Scribe Masa-ha-rota has in his possession a few seeds from the far realm known as Monkie's Jungle. Those seeds are extremely rare. He will exchange them for the soul of a living creature. However, if several people are interested, he will auction it and exchange it for the highest bid.

>>5241487
>>Choose one strong mutation

>Assimilation

The Silverfish are parasites, in the social sense, who sully the Great Library of Thyp’ptyklpt. Though they were initially simple insects, introduced by accident after an extradimensional expedition, the sheer amount of Eldritch knowledge has changed them. From eating the ancient tomes and consuming the runes within, they’ve integrated a great potential for learning within their bodies. The Silverfish assimilate whatever they eat, gaining their properties and using it to strengthen the swarm. Now, the insect collective is intelligent and ravenous. They seek to consume as much of the library as they can, to gain its knowledge and add it to the hive, so that they may become a living record of the universe’s knowledge.

Let me know if this is fine, and I’ll do my actions after.
>>
>>5241509
Ah, crap. I forgot to remove the dice. I meant to confirm that the mutation was fine, BEFORE attempting any of my actual actions. Would it be fine if I redo it, since I haven’t stayed the actions, or should I use this?

>Appoint a Head Chef to the Gumbo Squad to decide/categorize which books taste best or are valuable and worth keeping, and which books are gross/poisonous/dangerous to be around/too dangerous to throw in the fire. If he gets poisoned, blowed-up or eaten by a plague of arcane spirit bats (a common occurrence, to be expected, actually happened to the last head chef), just appoint a new dang chef!
>Copulate and party like we do every night. Hopefully in our expeditions for food books, we found some drank or other intoxicants to assist in the festivities. We typically enjoy drinking Thyppessy and smoking packs of Great Library Menthols.

The Atlantean African American Coalition are willing to trade up to two (2) _-_AAA_-_ slaves for the rare seeds. They probably taste so good... Make it three (3) slaves! Our leader, Zakka Shoeloo will eat the seeds all to himself if his tribe wins.

(Let me know if you want me to try to make my own stats or if you just wanna slightly alter/keep Human stats for the _-_AAA_-_'s, and any other things you'd have me do. Thought this quest was a shitpost at first, my bad. But I'm sticking with my race now, if you'll allow it.)

> Undead type
Proliferous Legacy: A fragment of the original necromancer's soul, subjected to intensive enchantment and thaumaturgy. The end result is an autonomous spiritual 'lifeform' capable of binding themselves to, and thereby puppeteering, humanoid corpses.
Lacking a definite physical form, these entities can only be definitively destroyed via magical means, but conversely while lacking a physical vessel their ability to interact with the material realm is limited.
Each instance of this thoughtform very gradually grows more spiritually potent and intellectually sophisticated over time, seemingly empowered by the passive accumulation of experience. Upon developing to a particular extent, these entity's may asexually reproduce, budding off a portion of their being in order to create a new instance of themselves - diminishing the spiritual and mental capabilities of the parent in order to spawn a child.

>Action 1: Search the Library for suitable corpses to possess. Claim as many as possible and return to base.
>Action 2: Repeat the prior action, seek out suitable vessels for our Proliferous Legacies to inhabit.
>Action 3: Explore the various aisles and nooks of the library adjacent to our base of operations. Gather any tomes, trinkets, or other objects of interest.

The humans dig down with their nails and fingers, and find another floor of the library, marked by strange and curious markings on the walls. This floor is inhabited by a small group of rebel Scribes, who call themselves the “Apostasy”, and reject all of Thyp'ptyklpt's teachings. They resides in towers made of wood. The top of the highest tower contains a shrine dedicated to the “Apostate”, where one must seek forgiveness before going further. The humans also develop an efficient buddy system, which helps them discover that their missing people had in fact been killed and eaten by goblins and skavens.

The insatiable silverfish consume many of the books of their territory, increasing their numbers at an incredible rate. They ingest many valuable tomes, but find themselves unable to assimilate the new knowledge due to their innate inability for magic. Texts about magic and theology are like mathematics to them; they cannot feel the magic, and it looks like nothing more than abstract theories. They kidnap one of the Scribes, and slow decompose him inside one of their eldritch cocoons, so as to absorb his essence into the hive. Unfortunately, they find that his essence is much too pure for them to contain, because the Scribes are the direct creation of Thyp'ptyklpt himself.

>Total Silverfish population: 154

>>5241539
Mini Event: Zakka Shoeloo wins the auction, and trades 3 slaves for the seeds. Those seeds are incredibly rare and precious, because not many plantforms are known to grow in the Library, and they perhaps represent the only chance to develop agriculture in history. Zakka Shoeloo, however, decides to eat them, which is understandable, considering his tribe comes from Earth and is growing tired of a diet made of only books.

The African Americans gather around a huge fire, hoping to attract critters and potential mates. Unfortunately, nothing comes to them. Their Head Chef, with his knowledge of “pruno” brewing obtained during his formative years of prison, spends months attempting to produce booze from papyrus and mold, but he's unable to obtain anything drinkable. This affects the nightly festivities negatively, which are known to require intoxicants to be successful. The copulation is sad, unenthusiastic, and does not produce as many children as hoped.

The horde mindlessly seeks books of knowledge, following a simple programming coded by their mythical leader, and brings him a tome of sorcery that contains the secrets of destruction magic. Thadmancer spends countless nights studying the enigmatic tomes, and slowly masters the new form of magic. Thus, he learns the spells of Fireball, Toxic Cloud, Disintegrate Ray. The horde also brings him 20 live Scribes, which the Thadmancer traps in a prison of bookshelf, and immobilizes by disintegrating their knee caps.

>The Silverfish use their evolution perk, to evolve gigantic retractable penises that will be perpetually larger than any of the AAA's.
>The Silverfish continue evolving, developing a dedicated breeder caste to further boost their number. They're not so foolish as to devote ALL their population growth to them, so individual families still exist.
>Finally, they evolve a dedicated warrior caste, to better safeguard the growing hive.

>Communication between players is a free action.

A pair of envoys are sent to the two Undead civilisations. Not the humans just yet. The envoys, in their chittering language, request a simple thing: A corpse, from their kind, so they may consume it and better understand the people they share the Library with.

>Communication:
The _-_AAA_-_'s send a messenger to each other race they can make contact with. It's an invitation to the Semi-Annual Great Hall Olympics next year (next turn), something we obviously just made up on the spot. It's a triathlon event to see who can win a Book-Surfing race, a Book-Eating contest, and a treasure hunt to see which tribe can steal the most fabric from the wandering Scribes without being caught and invoking Thyp'ptyklpt's wrath. Accept the invitation and we can have a friendly competition. Decline the invitation and admit you have small peepees.

>Scrounge for and stockpile party favors for the Triathlon, we will host the Intoxicants/Refreshments Booth.
>...Learn how to Book-Surf.
>Erect a statue with a (slightly exaggerated in size) erect penis, in Zakka Shoeloo's likeness.

Zakka Shoeloo remarks on the fullness of his belly, the true mark of prosperity. He burps in satisfaction and goes to lay his many concubines, visions of his _-_AAA_-_'s sweeping the board and taking gold in every category.

>>5243068
Oh, what's that? You tribe has small peepees and can't compete? Hmm. That's okay, our tribe understands. You can watch from the bookshelf-bleachers while distinguished races of intrigue and potent virility duke it out.

I mean, if there's no competition at all, then I guess my tribe will just win our own games that we hosted by ourselves, and do a victory lap around all the sourpuss small peepee tribes living in the Great Halls; demonstrating our athletic, mental and social prowess.

You can throw your own sports game or celebration or get together or challenge of your own another year, don't tack on small peepee activities onto the triathlon. It's already chocked full of balanced yet intense events that Zakka Shoeloo thinks would be a fair enough competition for all races present.

The messenger has spoken.

May your moss moonshine operation be fruitful and plentiful. Zakka Shoeloo is eager to try some.

> Action 1: Donning an amulet of invisibility the necromancer, continues his exploration of the segments of the Library under his faction's tentative control. Veiled by obscuring magic, the dark sorcerer once more plunders the various texts and mystical artifacts of the library - a veritable treasure trove of knowledge and marvels lay at his fingertips. While emboldened in his search, the necromancer still retains enough caution to give the scribes a wide berth during his expedition.
> Action 2: The necromancer began dismantling the various furnishing of an alcove - well-appointed as a lounge or reading room of some sort - within his territory; reducing decorative rugs and luxurious tapestries down into composite fibers, shattering venerable bookcases and quaint sitting chair for their ancient wood. While it is a tedious task, the versatility offered by these base resources imbue them with a unique sort of value that should not be overlooked.
> Action 3: Once more utilizing an amulets of invisibility, the necromancer secrets himself to a site of one the skirmishes between his Legacies and the Scribes, seeking the broken and rent remnants of his servant's discarded vessels. Working silently, the necrotic sorcerer gathers as many corpse fragments as feasible before swiftly retreating to the safety of his territory. Although these disassociated shards of necrotic matter are unfit for use by his Legacies, they may yet be made useful.

(This setting is pretty cool. Has potential for a great deal of creativity.)

>>5242798
Following the provocations of the AAA, the Silverfish develop gigantic retractable penises. While impressive to human standards, they are measured to be, on average, equal to the AAA. Moreover, the insects discover that this evolutionary trait provides no advantage, and in fact makes reproduction with smaller than average sized vaginas more difficult. This downside is mitigated by the development of a special breeder caste that possesses matching reproductive organs. The development of the warrior caste, however, fails, perhaps because of genetic limitations or the lack of military experience.

>80% of the Silverfish are turned into breeders, with a 5% breeding bonus
>Total population: 43 Silverfish [normal]; 178 Silverfish [breeder]

>>5242841
The Great AAA Coalition hosts the first International Olympic Games. The ceremony is wonderful, with splendid decorations and party favors of all colors, dominated by a three meter phallic statue of Zakka Shoeloo, which took several months to craft. The Games begin with a Book-Surfing race, where the athletes have to surf down stacked bookshelves to the finish line. This event is won by the Silverfish, using their several arms to gain better balance, to the great deception of the African American athletes, who had trained hard for the race. The second event, the Book-Eating contest, is again won by the Silverfish, who are able to eat the "food" twice faster than the other races. Finally, the third event, the Treasure Hunt, is won by the Skaven, who used their stealth ability to sneak behind the hapless Scribes, who have the fabric of their clothes robbed from them. Overall, the International Olympic Games are won by the Silverfish; the Skaven come in second place; and the Goblins come third.

The zombie horde arrives one month late to the Olympics Games.

>Total population: 131 AAA

>>5243888
At the end of the Olympic Games, after the goblins have departed, one of their shamans remains behind, and assassinates the great Zakka Shoeloo, and 8 other members of his retinue.

>Total population: 161 goblins, 6 shamans

>>5244154

>>5243068
The humans develop primitive tools from wood and marble, such as knives, hammers, hooks, and so on. This is a great event, for they are entering history as the first civilization to reach the Stone Age. Next, using their tools, they build four high towers at the corners of their village, which provide visibility over the entire Great Hall. The development of a moss farm fails, because moss is rather rare in the Great Hall, and there's not enough to cultivate.

Knowledge (Local): The Underground Scribes reject all of Thyp'ptyklpt's teachings, in particular, the theological aspects regarding reincarnation, angels and demons, the Aruntia Book, the Unknowable Mother, and the virtues of alchemy. The Aruntia Book is the holy scriptures of the other scribes, and describes Thyp'ptyklpt as an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, infinite, and eternal spirit personality, the nature of which is that of a Father, whose divine match is the Unknowable Mother.

The Great Necromancer walks the alleyways of the north-west sector like a shadow, never sleeping or resting. He opens every book that looks interesting, searches every nook and cranny of the shelves, but frustratingly finds nothing of value, other than uninteresting stories and superstitions about the universe. He gives up, and returns to the battlefield where the corpse puppets and the Scribes had once fought. With his necromancy, he finds himself able to raise 20 ash golems that can serve as bodies for the Legacies. Then, he develops a composite fiber and wood workshop, a sort of mini-factory where the golems produce materials that can be used for construction.

>+20 ash golems
>+composite fiber and wood workshop

>>5244121
The twisted art of the Thadmancer allows him to form an abomination from the brains of the twenty Scribes he had captures. The new creature names itself the Mira Mortis. It is sentient, intelligent, and hostile, and is filled with a high degree of necrotic magic, rivaling the greatest wizards in power. The Mira Mortis is nearly immortal, but can be destroyed if all the attached hearts are destroyed. The Thadmancer then explores the halls, and finds a strange stone slab, encrusted with obsidian. Runes that represent the sun, the moon and stars are drawn on it with lacquer. He discovers that the slab is imbued with the power of divination.

Participating in the games has given the Silverfish a great deal of respect for the AAA (Their new penis brothers). Upon hearing of the Goblin populace betraying their hosts and assassinating their leader, who many of the Athletes very much liked, the insects are outraged.

We didn't win a single medal...

After being disgraced and wing-clipped at their own Olympic games, the _-_AAA_-_'s bitterly retreat with the body of their deceased leader, Zakka Shoeloo.

Communication: Impressed, disturbed, scared and queazy, the _-_AAA_-_'s have a messenger drop off the body of Zakka Shoeloo to the mighty conquerors of the Olympics, the Silverfish. Their penile girth and circumference, paired with their ravenous stomachs and athletic proficiency, has earned not only our respect, but our fear... Let them be rewarded with all the knowledge of our tribe's previous leader. We will hold for now before mounting any military retaliation against the Goblins...

I, Wux'Dindu, of the Barely Literate Aisles, will step up to man the helm for my nation. There are many rules I've been meaning to enact for a long, long, time; should I ever become the next ruler. But first, we've got business to attend to.

Following the International Olympic Games, a spirit of strong comradeship develops between the Silverfish and the Atlantean African American Coalition. The goblins are the first target of this military alliance, and sensing imminent danger, are forced to exile themselves to the northern depths of the library. The humans, too, are in a hot spot, for the African Americans have officially declared them as being too "fancy".

Rumor: >>5244421 It is said that [Redacted], the leader of the Atlantean African American Coalition, is an avatar of the god Shi.

Knowledge (theology): >>5212663 Above the dreadful Thyp'ptyklpt, the idiotic Monkie, and the other gods, is Shi, the overlord; the god of the gods. Not much is known about Shi, for he is far above the mortals, and does not require their worship. What is known is that Shi is the creator of a the multiverse, which is, according to sacred scriptures, a "sea of bubbles constantly forming and falling in on itself."

>>5244175
From the careful study of engineering manuals, the Silverfish develop a new technology: a form of chitinous coating produced by their larvae, which protects wood against fire. They fortify their hive with a wall of fire-resistant bookshelves. The explore the southern corridor, and arrive to a smaller hall, divided into two sections. The western section contains another library, with large stained glass windows that shine a warm light upon the books. The books here appear to be blank, and contain only a few sheet of paper. The eastern section contains a museum, where rare books, quills, and inks are exhibited, protected behind reinforced glass. The Silverfish annex this hall to their territory.

There is no giant vine or giant spider. The picture >>5244184, which perhaps represents the eldritch tendrils of Thyp'ptyklpt, was posted by another player and is not canon.

The humans search for vine and giant spiders, but they find nothing. Their search for knowledge of transmutation is, likewise, unfructuous. They begin consuming drugs that is given to them for free by an African American dealer. The drugs are very addictive, and this becomes a national crisis. The humans request their leader to do anything in their power to obtain more; anything, at any price.

MAJOR EVENT

The African Americans set fire all over the hall, including their own neighborhood, but avoiding the Silverfish compound. The shelves fall onto one another, and the fire spreads into an uncontrollable manner. The smoke makes the air nearly unbreathable for all, except the undead, who do not need to breathe. The Great Hall is about to be destroyed, and if not stopped, the fire might spread to the entire library.

Knowledge (local): The only source of water in the Library are the white marble water fountains, which are rather sparse. The god Thyp'ptyklp has designed them only to provide water to a few Scribes and visitors.

That’s the problem you fucking tard,

Where did that stuff come from and why has it the same chance of appearing as me trying to introduce a new resource that all the players can exploit?

To be fair, we had a whole year (and some leftover knowledge and supplies from last year) to stockpile and refine those drugs. On the other hand, how long does it take for a giant spider to grow? You don't even have medium-size spider farms. It's only natural to be jealous of superior tech, or think of it as magic, so I don't blame you. Ahem. Now.
Communication: Wanna buy a dime bag?

Communication: the _-_AAA_-_'s request to move in with Silverfish since we kinda started burning our own home down. Also let's hold off on war plans, but let's start stockpiling our military power. I'll spend an action to do joint
military training exercises if you accept. We can do it on the border of those filthy Skaven fucks to scare them, heh heh.

My tribe's actions:

No matter what:
>Try to steal an arcane artifact directly from a Scribe or guarded, sacred area of Thyp'ptyklpt's. Didn't need to be the coolest gadget, Just some low hanging fruit, anything we can get our hands on that's not too obvious a risk... (I no longer need to reference another post to spell Thyp'ptyklpt correctly. Is that good?)

If the Silverfish accept Wux'Dindu's offer to move in, our actions are thus:
>Move our camp to the Silverfish's, and learn their culture. Share our culture with them.
>Perform joint military training exercises with the Silverfish, on the border we share with the Skavens. We will be prepared for war! More specifically, we'll prepare to fight side-by-side with new, unexpected comrades! Mixed squad tactics!!

If Silverfish give us the cold shoulder (or if we can't do joint military exercises), that's alright, we'll:
>Keep lighting fires literally all over the Great Hall (if we do live with the Silverfish, avoid their camp)
>Prepare to sucker in more of baka's Spartan Humans with more deteriorating drugs, but this time, it's a trick, the substances are laced, and we have heavy books and wooden planks from the shelves, and large wooden splinter stakes which we are prepared to use defensively if they catch onto our tricks amidst any potential confrontations.

The Silverfish are rather upset by the fact that the AAA have been burning down the library. But they chalk it down to differences in culture, that makes somebody start burning things and stealing televisions when their kind is killed. Their people are welcome to share their corner of the library.

Action time:

Chkk Zvkkvy beholds the body of his old friend. They've gotten something good out of negotiations, it seems. While they would normally leap on it and tear it apart voraciously, Chkk and his house spend several moments in silence. It's not a habit the chittering insects have, but this isn't a simple body either.

He takes the first bite, so that Zakka Shoeloo may live within his bloodline forevermore.

>Use the body of Zakka Shoeloo to birth a new generation, with the ingrained knowledge of humankind. Cultural exchange, baby!

>>5245513

>Head further south with an exploration force, to see what this mystery exhibit is. Maybe they'll be useful! The lack of text entices me...

The Silverfish would love to partake in joint exercises, and exchange knowledge on how each nation's warriors fight. Unfortunately, they also have to fight the fires by their borders, now that it seems to be mysteriously jumping close to the hive. They request aid, and grab whoever is willing to come along.

>Arm up Silverfish and AAA bros with toothpaste-tube infants, and work on extending the fire-resistant area of the hive.

The _-_AAA_-_'s reluctantly stop shaking their bookshelf-spears and abandon plans for military training to assist with putting out the fires they started... We scratch our heads and wonder, how did the fire spread way over here so fast? Coulda swore we tried to avoid this territory. Is someone else spreading the fires? Can't see anyone else, but based if true... Oh well.

If it's not too late, I change

Announcement: The skaven civilization has been wiped out.

Rumor: >>5245597 There are rumors of an eight civilization existing in the northern reaches of the Library.

>>5245539
The ash golems, stealthy and invisible, spread the great fire further. The flames consume everything and even get past the Firefish' wall of fire-resistant bookshelves. Some of the insects retreat to the south, inside of the museum area, but many of them are unable to escape, because another squad of golems cut off their retreat with another fire. The skaven all burn alive, and the smell of burned rat will forever impregnate the walls of the library. Thadmancer and his Horde flee to the northern sectors. The fire is now unstoppable, and burns all the books and all the shelves of the Great Hall, as well as all the Scribes. All the knowledge of the inner workings of the universe is gone forever. The fire spreads further north and east, toward the former territory of the African American Coalition. After a week, when it has nothing to consume anymore, the fire goes out. All that remains is ash and dust, covering the marble floor of the library with a depth of 3 feet.

>The undead lose their wood and fiber workshops

>>5245551
Equipped with stone axes and boomerangs, the crazed Spartan junkies attack the African Americans. The rioters are unarmed and defenseless, and it reminds them of home, when the cops would assault them with rubber bullets and tear gas grenades. They fight bravely against their assailants, summoning the spirit of his Holiness George Floyd in their heart. It’s an all-out brawl, and they manage to defeat the humans. Hundreds of dead bodies lie on the floor, but they have no time to mourn, as the Great Fire threatens to engull the survivors.

To the west, the remaining humans set a firebreak, to block the progression of the fire. This works effectively, because they only have a narrow corridor to protect. Thus, they make their new home in the former nest of the goblins. Downstairs, a death squad of humans exterminates all of the rebel Scribes, and perform unearthly rituals to attract the attention of Thyp'ptyklpt, but fail to summon the great god.

>Population: 84 humans
>The humans lose their wooden towers

>>5246009
I'll never be able to spell Thyp'ptyklpt by memory...

The African Americans move in with the Silverfish, and steal the most valuable artifact from the museum: the Staff of Gaia. (Everything else in the museum is non-magical.) The strength of elemental earth is transmitted through the Staff. It may be used to heal, cleanse, purify, strengthen, and empower. They had planed to perform joint military training exercises, but because the fire has destroyed everything, and most of the water fountains have been sabotaged, they spend the rest of the year just trying to survive.

>Population: 6 AAA
>+Staff of Gaia
>>
>>5246980

>>5246408
The body of Zakka Shoeloo is consumed by one of the Silverfish, who hopes to assimilate all of the knowledge of Earth and humankind. Unfortunately, the knowledge is much to alien to them, and the visions of the bright sun and the blue sky is an untolerable vision of horror to them. The creature dies of a brain hemorrhage.

Description of the museum: The museum's exhibits are stored in glass cabinets, some of which contain valuable parchments and tablets from the past. There are also cases of ancient stone tools and other paraphernalia. Adjacent to the museum is a small botanical garden, with a few exotic plants from Monkie's jungle, such as giant man-eating plants, carnivorous vine and sleep-inducing flower. (The Staff of Gaia was the main attraction of the botanical garden.)

Wux'Dindu barely survives the fire and brimstone that wiped out nearly his whole race. The 5 other remaining species members elect that Wux'Dindu must have been sent from the heavens to lead them out of this dark period that was totally unprovoked and no one could have possibly seen coming. Fucking baseheads, right?

The species must now rely on the Staff of Gaia if they are to come out of this biological bottleneck.

Communication: Ask for permission from the Silverfish to remain in their territory, this time outright ask for their protection.
In exchange, we'll enchant their lands with the Staff of Gaia and allow them to conduct some types of experiments with it, as long as they Communicate it first.
Hereby known as the Afro-Gaian-Silverfish Lend-Lease Program.
If they send us packing, we'll respect their girth and fuck off back to our original home.

First, let's
>Have someone use the Staff of Gaia on Wux'Dindu to empower him with the virile strength of Earth's Blessings

Then establish two work areas:

First one goes smack dab in the middle of the Great Hall.
>Unleash the mighty power of The Staff of Gaia on a strategic point in the Great Hall. Let her rip and see what we can summon... Hopefully it's more dessert oasis or jungle than library, because we don't much like to read.

Second work area is in a dark, lonely corner of Thyp'ptyklpt's Library, maybe like in the old Skaven/_-_AAA_-_ territory

Knowledge(local): >>5246975 The Scribes of Thyp, also called the “Book Gnomes”, are the people who are responsibility for gathering the knowledge of the Library. While humanoid in appearance, they are also quite different from regular humans. Their powers are quite impressive, and include the ability to add or remove knowledge from the mind of living creatures. They are also quite adept at sneaking around, and can, with the help of powerful illusions, disguise as most other humanoid creatures.

The supreme leader of the African American Coalation, [Redacted], spends an entire year researching the power of the Staff of Gaia. While he finds himself able to cure disease and perform minor miracles, he is quite unable to channel the power of the staff into more major creations, or even into increasing his own virility. [Redacted] also attempts to develop stealth technology from ash, namely, he rubs ash on his skin, hoping that it provides camouflage. He soon discovers that this doesn't do anything, for he is already dark of skin in his natural state. The other African Americans spend the entire year napping.

The Silverfish send a squad to investigate the remains of the Great Hall. They calculate that there were several points of origin for the fire. By analyzing traces of DNA and excrement, they determine that the first fire was originally set at random by the Africans, and then spread around their hive maliciously by creatures made of ash. They also find a pit in the center of the Great Hall, that leads to another floor which has also burned from the fire (formerly, the home of the Rebel Scribes). Under this floor, they find the Deepwater Dungeon, which itself contains two levels, and provides the water for the water fountains of the area.
They also search for survivors, but there are none. Everyone who was trapped in the Great Hall perished. From analyzing the remains of the Skaven nest, they discover burned organic matter contaminated with various disease. They assimilate the substance into their body, and develop the ability to spread plagues, as if they were a Skaven plague mage.

The humans, now expert in stone mansonry, build a large wall after the firebreak. The wall is 18 feet high and made from huge blocks of rock. The blocks weigh hundreds of pounds and are so large that they would require the help of several men to lift them. The wall is 2 feet thick and has been constructed so that it has a slight curve in it. They also explore the west side of the Library, and find a maze of tunnels, that are infested with multiples goblin nests. It seems that since their exile, the goblins have multiplied their numbers to the thousands. (See map).

A: Oppose of Love
A hostile action by the god Shi


A powerful voice resonates insides of the Great Hall.

“I am the Great God of Heaven. My name has been spoken in vain >>5245515”.

The greater God, Shi, materializes in a puff of smoke. He's wearing a black trenchcoat weaved by immortal driders, that reflects the darkness of outer space and absorbs matter and energy like a black hole.

He summons one of his 20 sons, the Sumaru, a ten foot tall, six-armed demon, who is made of scorching brass. His eyes are red. He has claws of iron and a tongue like a razor. In one hand, he is holding a large axe, and in another, a spear.

“The Sumaru will destroy everything on its path, and punish all of you, foolish mortals! You are weak, and you were born to die a pathetic death!”

Shi disappears.

Let's continue working together to bolster each other, and exploit our enemies, as well as this dreaded and accursed library...

It makes me shudder and cringe everytime... Impulse to peacefully burn things down again is growing... If we find any more books, promise me you'll keep and read them to yourselves, if at all, far away from my tribe. I've tried REALLY hard to foster a healthy culture of illiteracy and rejecting divergent thinking and any types of curiosity, and my tribe grows unruly and restless at the mere sight of any literature now.

Actions:
>Assist the venerable Silverfish in their hunt for the hidden keys.
>Research the Staff of Gaia with our equally-endowed Silverfish allies. Specifically, try to exploit nature's ability to birth twins, triplets, quadruplets and so forth. _-_AAA_-_'s desperately need to get our numbers back up. Since the Silverfish are already prolific breeders, we hope they can shine a light on any blind spots we _-_AAA_-_'s might have while researching for a breakthrough. The Silverfish horde is of course welcome to this magic if we are successful. Don't attempt hybridization... Yet... Some of those bugs in the breeder caste are qt3.14's though... I swear they're starting to emulate large breasts, juicy lips and narrow waists like those of our females... Yowza!
>Send a small contingency of a single _-_AAA_-_ and a few Silverfish saboteurs/spies to monkey-wrench the plans and prosperity of our natural nemesis: our Human brothers. Hopefully we don't trip over our bix nood magnum dongs while we sneak around. See to it that Sumaru finds his way to the Human's camp... If it's a suicide mission for the team, so be it. We wuz kangz until you pale devils came along. Plus, you look just like the other lifeless pale devils that creep in the Great Hall... We'll see to it you join them in an early afterlife! Cof bin dub ho muhfuggas!! Come pry this Staff from my cold, dead, black hands! Muh DICK, BITCH!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever, crackhead.

You've obviously just never seen a REAL MAN exclaim things to no one but the empty sky. That's how a REAL LEADER speaks when he communes with Thyp'ptyklpt's one true saint and shepherd, Georgicus Floydicus. (Probably)

I hope Sumaru rekts your dumb little firebreak and fries you all up in his boiling brass belly.

>Requisite for crossing! What's the secret password?! I'm a homosexual dork!
Pfft. No one wants to visit your stank compound full of broke bois (who give each other hand and rim jobs), anyways. Your society is gay and antiquated, even though it is technically the most technologically advanced... Building stuff is for queers hahaha we have bigger dicks than you... Y-you m-m-mad!!!!

Come on, don’t be sad.
You can probably pimp the goblins with the meth, but I don’t recommend it.

> Action 1 & 2: Continuing their trend of exploiting the invisibility amulets, five magically obscured ash golems stealthy run a sweep of the central chamber's southern reaches. The constructs are instructed to hunt down the charred husks of dead mortals hidden amidst the crumbling architecture of the library's burnt-out sections and then promptly return them to base to be repurposed as crafting reagents.
> Action 3: The necromancer takes 11 Soulstones and a bunch of the collected corpse ash, and prepares to fashion a magical artifact capable of amplifying the potency of magical effects by magnitudes - A Stave of Potence. Firstly, the corpse ash must be processed into a immaculately fine, highly resonant glass, the process for which necessitates a laborious sequence of forging and reforging to ensure any impurities are eliminated. Secondly, the Soulstones must be treated and refined into crystalline lenses, which then must be arranged in an impeccably precise configuration. Finally, the glass must be carefully reworked around the Soulstone array into the shape of a stave. The creation of such a sophisticated magical instrument will surely be challenging, but the necromancer is nothing is not patient and is willing to devote as much time as is necessary to see this project through.

A loud sound is heard in the Library, as the Sumaru falls to the floor below. He roars with rage and calls for the name of his holy Father, Shi, the God of Creation. Rolling for the Sumaru's actions, which I will post later.

>>5247971
There are no keys. The text generator is not canon. I use the software to generate fluff text, but I only take the elements from it that are not too crazy.

The Silverfish explore the Deepwater Dungeon. The walls are made of coral, and the floor is covered with sand. It's a beautiful place, with streams of water, and ponds with multicolored fish. There are plenty of large crabs, sea urchins, crocodiles, and floating jellyfish, which they defeat with ease. The second floor is more dangerous; it's a gigantic maze, filled with vicious trap, pits, and protected by fierce crabmen armed with harpoons. The insect explorers all die. They protect the dungeon and the water springs from enemy civilizations with walls of fire-resistant bookshelves.
The Silverfish train new Plague Mages. The hybrids have genetic material of the Skavens growing on them at random spots, such as Skaven teeth and whiskers growing and multiplying on their arms. The stronger hybrids even develop several Skaven tails; the stronger one is in the art of the plague, the more tails they have. Through their genetic knowledge, they discover the worship of Corona-chan, the beautiful goddess who promises redemption through destruction.
The Prime Minister of the Silverfish reports that the Silverfish needs to find a new source of food, or further population growth will be hampered.

>Exploration of the Deepwater Dungeon [1/2]
>+5 Plague Mages
>Population: 467 Silverfish [breeder], 91 Silverfish [normal], 7 Plague Mages

>>5248038
The Spartans have run out of stone and marble and cannot build new structures anymore. They spend their engineering efforts to build a trap for the Sumaru. The trap is well-designed and effective, and the demon falls on the level below, where the Deepwater Dungeon is located.
The Spartans engage in war with the goblins. At first, they were hoping to harvest a few goblin bodies for the resources, but the goblins are proven to be wickedly ingenious. The entrance of the goblin territory is marked by two heathen totems of rat skulls and red fabric. They live like wild animals inside tunnels and pipes of rusted metal. Their fire shamans have developed a high intelligence, and they have build pit traps in which the human raiders fall. All the humans who have been sent to the goblin territory never return. It is assumed they are raped, enslaved, tortured, and eaten. You can watch the anime Goblin Slayer as documentary on goblin culture and treatment of prisoners of war if you wish.

Vashanique Peterson of the Atlantean African American Coalition requests [Redacted] to use the Staff of Gaia. She sacrifices a Silverfish breeder to the Goddess of Earth. The staff radiates with a gentle blue light, and her vagina slowly grows in size and depth. Just like the breeder caste of the Silverfish, the breeder caste of the African Americans are now in possession of matching reproductive organs.
Vashanique then travels to the Spartan territory.
“Knock, knock, mothafucka.”
“Who's there? Identify thyself!”
“Erm... Yo! Waddap, mothafucka! It be I, da racis', inbred, patsy white, bitch ass cracka. If you don' open, I'm gon' crack your skull open, mothafucka!”
The easy to manipulate humans almost let her in, however a clever captain notices that she hasn't given the proper password. The archers shoot her with a flurry of arrows, and the heroine of fertility falls to the floor, dead. The other African Americans spend the entire year napping.

>80% of the African Americans are turned into breeders, with a 5% breeding bonus
>Population: 6 African American [breeder], 1 African American [normal]

>>5248976
The ash golems have been working invisible for years, now. The profilers and forensic scientists of the Silverfish have discovered their theorical existence, but no one has ever seen them. The golems harvest the ashes of zombies, insects, and humans who have died and bring it to their leader, the dreadful necromancer PathwayToEnlightenment. By using his terrible magic and making pacts with demons, he turns the ashes into an immaculately fine, highly resonant glass and then, combined with a refined Soulstone array, crafts the Stave of Potence.
The Stave of Potence is a weapon of the highest quality. It is a glass staff, energized with the tortured souls of the dead, that enables the bearer to focus their mental strength to the point of producing waves of concentrated magical energy that can be used to store and unleash powerful magic. When it is used, the hateful, maddening voice of the dead can be heard in the head of those who are around the magician.

>+Stave of Potence [gain a +2 RS bonus to Magic when wielded]

MINI-EVENT
Isaias Silverbeak, of the Brooklynite Jewish Confederacy (BJC), opens a bank inside of the Great Hall. He will buy every 10 slaves for 100,000 USD. Moreover, he will buy any magical item for their fair value in USD. This is an unique opportunity to gain a valuable currency, which can also be eaten as a snack; one dollar billar provides approximately 3 kcal.

>Can you produce silk?

We cannot! But we can definitely guide our evolution towards it. If you find anything that produces it, send it our way, and we'll be able to assimilate it. Should be easy, silk production is a very natural thing for a creature to accomplish.

As for our actions:

>Start fishing operations within the Deepwater Dungeon, to serve as our new food source.
>Hunt down the ash creatures who started the fire in the first place, include one plague mage in the squad that does it
>Assimilate the sea creatures we've eaten, to gain their traits and create a breed who can fare better in the water.

>If you find anything that produces it, send it our way

In a future turn, we'll attempt to do it, but materials would definitely increase our success rate. No pressure though, we're going to try regardless.

Communication: ...How about just One (1) whole Slave (non-breeder) for the half-discounted price to you of only $5,000USD?

If you only want half, I'll sell you your choice of cut: top half, bottom half, left side or right side. That'll only cost you the amazing discounted price of $3,000USD.

And for my last actions...

Communication to Silverfish: It looks like we got the same parts now... What do you say your breeders and my breeders get together and do what they do best?

Upon approval:
>2 actions, attempt to create a hybridized race with those sexy, bodacious, beddable bugs.

Upon disapproval or no response:
>Advance our tribe's Stealth capabilities.

> Action 1: The obscuring enchantment which lend the invisibility amulet's their effect is of great interest to the Necromancer. Illusion magic is often snubbed by his contemporaries, dismissed as a mere parlor trick, but they are fools. Over the past century, these amulets have proved their worth beyond any doubt, and it is for this reason that the Necromancer has decided to immerse himself in intense study of both the amulet's invisibility enchantments and the field of illusion magic in general.
> Action 2: Once again, three magically-cloaked ash golems are deployed to scour the smoldering wreckage of the library for more corpse ash. While this cursed soot is a fine and malleable material, seething with ingrained anguish and animosity as it is, the Necromancer suspects might be wise to begin stockpile a more robust collection of resources. Tasks for a later date.
> Action 3: Using the collected ashes and the remaining soulstones, the Necromancer commences the construction of his greatest servant yet. Fusing the soulstones together into a condensed mass through the invocation of baleful occult forces and dread rituals, the Necromancer created a kernel of singular, wildly violent power - a soulstone core. Throwing up arcane wards to contain erupting nebula of searing malevolence, the necromancer works meticulously to weave a grand spiraling web of enchantments, inseparably binding each individual grain of ash collected by his golems to the soulstone core. As the wards are removed, the core abruptly gravitates into the mass of ash, the maelstrom of infernal heat radiating from its surface reducing the pile of corpse ash into sloughing, burbling mass of molten glass which then coalesces around the core, flowing and shifting with unnerving intent. A suitable vessel for a Legacy if there ever was one.

The empty corpse of Thadmancer once again fills with purpose. The dead live once again.

Thadmancer knew that death was not the end. He gathered the piles of ash around the great hall and used his dark magic to solidify them into stone tools for his undead army.

Commanding his horde of undead Thadmancer moved them to the northern tunnel in order to find out what may await there.

The increasing violence of the surrounding civilizations proved troublesome. In order to protect his army during the great journey he used his divination slab in order to search the endless rows of books for an artifact of great power. The fabled Necronomicon that only legends speak of.

After resting for several months, the Sumaru flies into the air and through the hole in which he had fallen. He begins banging on the stone wall of the humans. With each bang, the ground shakes, and the humans scream in fear. The wall begins to crack. Will it hold through the onslaught of the demon?

With only their stone tools, the Spartans patiently break down the steel pipes that are abandoned, and bring back the metal to their village. The pipes are high enough for a human to walk inside of them, and consequently, the metal they collect is in the form of 6 feet high, curved steel sheets. [They bring back 250 of those.]
Another group of Spartans begins work on the quarry. When they attempt to dig down, they find that there are tunnels under them. Hence, they work by breaking down walls in the territory south-west of their camp. They find stone and marble which are cut in the shapes of large blocks that are usable for primitive construction.

The farming of fish in the Deepwater Dungeon is a very easy operation. It appears that all the creatures of the Dungeon respawn one week after they have been killed. The insects only have to secure a path between each pond and harvest all of the fish. This new source of food is much more satiating than books, and sufficient to grow a population to the thousands. The assimilation of sea creatures proves impossible, however. It seems that the Silverfish are reluctant to absorb the genetic traits of their food, out of fear of being turned into food themselves by their kindred.
A Squad of Silverfish, led by a Plague Mage, searches the entire region for the creatures of ash who are responsible for the fire. They find a campment in the north-west of the Great Hall inhabited by a powerful necromancer and twenty ash golems. They remember those as the undead who had always ignored their envoys.

The African Americans scavenge for food in the sectors of the dungeon secured by the Silverfish military force. They combine fried crabs, stewed algae, and the urchin called “sea potato” to create a dish known as Martin Luther King Jr's Crab, which is seasoned with ash. They bring back the ingredients to their home base in the botanical garden, and grow them inside the water fountains.

Their new High Priestess, Guap'tisha Rashad, works with the insectoids to develop a new hybrid race. She is delightfully ravished by the breeder and, using the magic of Gaia, gives birth to monstrous offsprings who have the traits of both the African Americans and the Silverfish. The hybrids have a body that is African American in general shape, covered with simian fur, insect wings, and amorphous ganglia, and possessing the head and limbs of an insect. Their brain is only partially functioning; they cannot reason, and are extremely aggressive. They communicate by hissing and clicking. When translated by the Silverfish, their speech expresses permanent terror and agony, as well as the worship of the the Unknowable Mother. The hybrids are short-lived and sterile, having a lifespan of only one week. One turn being one year, they are now dead.

PathwayToEnlightenment studies the invisibility amulets for months in his laboratory. He's constantly writing down his observations, and comparing them to his knowledge of necromancy. After running several tests, he finds himself able to isolate the magical particles which power the amulets, and to extract them. Research into the field of Illusion without any book to help him proves tremendously difficult, but by consulting the spirit of the dead, he's able to produce an invisibility spell that copies the energy frequency of the particles, and works by draining all mana and lifeforce from the surrounding environment.
The ash golems work digilently to harvest all the ashes of all the creatures that have perished in the fire. The production and refinement of a Soulstone Core, as described, is successful. The Soulstone Core can be used as vessel for a Legacy; further, it can be used to load and unload magic.

When exploring the northern tunnels, Thadmancer's zombies find themselves inside of a labyrinth of pipes, which is difficult for them to navigate due to their low intelligence. The pipes are of all size, of copper and of steel. They are inhabited by nests of feral goblins, armed with makeshift weapons, who ambush the zombies from the shadows. The zombies find a ventilation shaft that is clear of any goblin, and leads to a library of 250 meters in diameters. All the books here only have blank pages. Map updated.
The divination slab reveals: The Necronomicon does not exist in this Realm.
The Thadmancer develops rudimentary stone axes, boomerangs, and other weaponry modelled after those of the Spartans. The undead are thus the second civilization to enter the Stone Age.

>Evolve the ability to produce strong tensile silk from spinnerets. This will be a Weaver class. Perhaps the eating of books in the past, and the induction of all that magic glue, will help.

> Action 1: Forcing 11 of his Legacies to surrender their vessels, PTE added 11 ash golem's worth of material into the Soulstone core, increasing the bulk of molten glass encasing the relic substantially. Leveraging his arcane might, the necromancer reshaped the liquid glass into a slightly more consistent shape - a hulking facsimile of a man. Finally, he permitted one of his Legacies to claim the scalding nightmare, the Greater Golem of Molten Glass, as a vessel. The end result was formidable: a crawling giant of perpetually melting glass, its body all but imperious to destruction given the inconsistency and self-liquifying nature of its flesh. The main vulnerability of this construct, besides launching a spiritual assault on the Legacy which piloted the golem, was the core - encased deep within the molten glass, silently raging beneath the surface like a miniature star. A sufficiently powerful blow to the relic could obliterate it (with the ensuing arcane discharge dragging anything nearby along for the ride) in spectacular fashion, obviously rendering the golem inert and unsuitable for possession. Despite these considerations, the Necromancer smiled grimly as his new servant rose.
> Action 2: Curious to test out his new enchantment, PTE imbued his newly formed Greater Golem as well as himself with the draining invisibility enchantment. The necromancer was uncertain of whether there would be any major complications with attaching such a mana intensive spell to such innately magical entities. He supposed that he would find out soon enough.
> Action 3: The necromancer PTE was vaguely aware of interlopers probing the fringes his territory, little beads of life energy crawling through the ashen desolation of the great hall. He knew not how many there were exactly, their capabilities, nor their intent. This deficiency in information was perhaps a failing on his part, but one that he could remedy. As PTE's faction has avoided setting down roots or establishing any stationary presence within the library, he was uniquely detached from what others might consider his 'territory'. His base, such as it was, was nothing more than a convenient space to congregate his forces, there were no structures nor immobile assets of any significant worth contained within. With this all in mind, the necromancer would ply his newfound familiarity in illusion magic to set some bait, a means to gauge the nature and intent of any would-be intruders. Specifically, he would spin an illusion of an intensive ritual involving PTE and his Golems, one which would appear to demand their undivided concentration. Meanwhile, his physical forces would disperse into two groups (five ashgolems wearing 5 invisibility amulets and two talismans of negative energy with PTE; five ash golems wearing 5 invisibility amulets and two talismans of negative energy and with the Molten Glass Golem) and observe the proceedings from a distance.

Thatmancer would use his divination slab to help him develop a way to smelt down the pipes into workable metal.

Seeing the lacking intelligence of his forces Thadmancer would begin crafting more powerful undead. He would take the corpses of the scribes and instead of reanimating them as husks he would attempt to rip the very soul out of their bodies and bind it to this very realm as wraiths. These new creations would serve as the officers of his army and study the dark arts under him.

Thadmancer thinks to himself "These primitive bugs dare ask me to play games. I'll show them what a master of the dark arts finds fun." He then launches an assault on the silver fish.

The renown Atlantean African American Coalition hosts the second Semi-Annual Olympic Game. The opening ceremony is dominated by the Spartans, who display their prowess with impeccabble military drills, clad in shiny armors of metal. The first game is the Ashball Tournament, which is played with a ball of ash, made compact with the saliva of Silverfish larvae. This game is easily won by the Spartans, who possess superior teamwork and military tactics from years of rigorous training. In fact, all games are won by the Spartans. Their superior technological development allows them to win the Ash-Sledding Race with a superb sled of steel, a wonder of metalsmithing which slides smoothly on the ash and is armed with mounted blades of metal that destroy the sleds of their competitors. Due to all Rebel Scribes having been exterminated during the fire, the third game is cancelled. The Olympic Games are won by the Spartans. The second and third places are won by the African Americans and the Silverfish respectively. An honorary fourth place is given to the Skaven, who have been massacred and can no longer participate.

Rumor: >>5251620 The undead race as a whole develops a reputation of untrusworthiness.

The Silverfish raise a squad of 50 elite soldiers to raid the camp of the ash golems. When they arrive, they find a ghoulish necromancer performing a ritual to the ancient ones with his golems. They chant terrifying syllables which create terror inside of the insects, triggering a genetic memory from ancient times when they were not sentient.
While mesmerized by the scene, a column of 50 well-disciplined zombies arrives from the east attack them with club weapons made of stone. The zombies savagely bash the heads of the insect open, which crack with a horrifying, loud sound. The insects feel terrorized and attempt to flee, but they are caught with boomerangs and swiftly shot down. The zombies crouch to devour their brains and internal organs. When there's nothing left of their enemies, they return to the camp of their master, the Thadmancer.
Inside the safety of the museum, the insect breeders develop a new sort of mutant, which has the ability to produce silk. The material is as strong and flexible as the silk of spiders from our Earth, but produced in much larger quantities due to the larger size of the Silverfish.

Random Event (NPC Action): The Silverfish also suffer a raid from the goblins, who sneak past their defenses, and sabotage their installations in the Deepwater dungeon by setting fires and poisoning the ponds with mold. This is a very unlucky year for the Silverfish. The fish farm is no longer functional until the damages are repaired.

High Priestess Guap'tisha Rashad spends months in a secret retreat, praying to her goddess Gaia for her blessing. She hears inside of her head the warm, caring voice of her goddess, who tells her that she will give her the most beautiful babies a woman has ever had. The priestess goes back to the museum and offers herself to the males of the Silverfish race. She gives birth to octoplets, who have the body of a Silverfish in general shape, covered with scales, insect wings, and amorphous ganglia, and possessing the head, brain and paws of an African American. The males are equipped with gigantic, retractible penises, as do their Silverfish ancestors. Those mutants reach maturity in only nine months, and are highly fertile. After their birth, they naturally worship the entity known as “Nyarlathotep”, from a rare genetic memory that has been opened from the fiendish mutations.

The death sorcerer PTE begins the construction of his most ambitious project: the Greater Golem of Molten Glass. He oftens daydreams and pictures himself smiling grimly as his new servant rises. However, the project is most difficult to complete; not only is liquid glass difficult to mold in a consistent shape, but the Legacies are strangely incompatible with the prototypes. He estimates that he will need another year of hard work to finish the project.
As a side project, PTE imbues an ash golem with the draining invisibility enchantment. He's not able to perceive any difference of any scope from the enchantment of the amulets of invisibility.
His brilliant mind is vaguely aware of a group of insignificant, human-sized insects who came to his camp, and watched his illusions in awe.

The Sumaru is about to destroy the wall, and the exterminate the human race. The scene is as frightening as watching the anime Attack on Titan. The humans know that they are going to die. They don't have the ability to fight or to run from the cyclopean creature. Suddenly, the roof of the library crumbles and the Sumaru finds itself trapped under blocks of marble. The Spartan engineers had been developing in secret anti-titan in technology. With his last breath, the Sumaru curses them:
My father, our Holy Father Shi, Father of Heaven, Creator of the Universe, will avenge my death. My nineteen older brothers, who are all taller and stronger than I am, will come to the library, and crush it with their gigantic fists! For I was only the runt of the family, and our heavenly father only ever used me for the most disgraceful and petty tasks. I curse you, mortals! I curse you forever!
The Spartans build a forge where the sheets of metal can be grossly flattened and shaped. From this metal, they are able to craft rudimentary, uneven hammers, clubs, and body armors. They are also able to use the sheets for construction, to reinforce walls or as roofs.

The Dark Lord performs a complex ritual to summon the spirit of the dead from the ether, and transforms them into wraiths who obey all of his commands. He annihilates their will and replace them with his; they essentially become an extension of his own mind, and are controlled like puppets. The wraiths feed from the energy of the living and from recently deceased corpses.
The undead attempt to copy the metallurgy of the Spartans. However, the engineering skills of his zombies are much inferior to that of the humans, and they are not able to produce anything useful.

> Action One: Secluding himself for a time, PTE continues diligently working towards the finalization of his Glass Golem Project.
> Action Two: Under PTE's supervision, the ash golem scour the battleground where the interlopers clashed with his other self, collecting the corpses of the silverfish and their associates, but leaving any fallen zombies for his originator to collect if they so choose. PTE chuckles wryly upon discovering the pustular remains of the plague mage. What manner of fool would attempt to fight *the dead* with pestilence and ailments?
> Action Three: Presenting himself before the Thadmancer, PTE respectfully hails his fellow necromancer and expresses gratitude to him for disposing of the mortal reprobates infringing upon his territory. Moving off on a bit of a tangent, the necromancer explains that in addition to his necromantic inclinations he also wields considerable proficiency in the art of Enchantment and would thusly like to offer Thadmancer a gift as a gesture of good will - a magical item of his choosing. Finally, PTE suggests an alliance between their factions, at least until all immediate mortal threats within the library have been neutralized. There is of course no rush on any of the subjects broached today, feel free to take as much time as necessary on your considerations.

Jesus, that looks awkward as fuck. I like the big fella on the right though.

Qm, I assume we have all our previous resources unless specifically told we lost them, right? There’s been no count of plague mages in the last two turns, but I’m not sure whether I lost them all at some point or if there simply hasn’t been anything relevant happening to them.

> Action 3: Feeling that navigation through the Great Hall is slightly too simple at the moment, PTE begins designing small enchanted totems of bone - sourced from the corpses gathered earlier. Each totem is designed to project a large, but very faint, magical field which exerts a subtle disorienting effect upon the perception and recollection of those travelling through it, thereby increasing the likelihood that inattentive or weak-willed travelers will get turned around or become lost. PTE aims to fashion over 10 instances of these totems, but will hold off on placing them anywhere for the moment.

The Hive Queen of the insects becomes the ruler of an empire, with the African Americans and crabmen as direct vassals, and the reclusive Spartans as trade partners. Only opposed to her are the two undead civilizations, and the goblins, who have colonized the northern labyrinth.

I attach the data with units and items.

>>5252414
The Spartans build a second wall to the north; this one more magnificent than the previous one, and reinforced with sheets of metal. Their territory is now entirely fortified. Aristonymos, the leader of the engineers, conceives plans for a new machine of war called the “crossbow”. The design, however, proves completely ineffective and even dangerous for the wielder. The engineers also attempt to reforge the Sumaru's weapons, but his weapons are much too solid and require extremely high temperatures to be forged.

High Priestess Guap'tisha Rashad spends the year performing many miracles with the Staff of Gaia. The power of the staff seems inexhaustible. She travels to the remote Deepwater Dungeon, and purifies the ponds, making the fish healthier and meatier. She watches her insectoid children and grandchildren grow strong. She wishes to improve their muscles, but her goddess refuses, for the reason that her race is beautiful, and cannot be made more perfect. For the same reason, she cannot strenghten the crops and animals of the dungeon.

The Silverfish send an expedition to explore the sector east of the museum. They explore an area of 10 km2, but only find empty corridors, and librairies of various sizes, filled with empty books that only contain blank pages. There are no visible creatures anywhere, and no Scribes. While the Library is infinite in size, only the central room, the Great Hall, was filled with useful books. The Library was conceptualized as such by Thyp'ptyklpt, as a core of knowledge that can be nurtured and grown as much as one needs. The Silverfish use this empty region to build a quarry.
The Silverfish conquer the rest of the Deepwater dungeon, reaching the throne room of the king of the crabmen, the last room of the palace of coral. Defeated, the king abdicates and becomes a vassal of the Silverfish. He vows to serve the Hive Queen as well and as diligently as the African Americans do.

The Greater Golem of Molten Glass, the Necromancer's most ambitious project, is finally formed. The Golem can be piloted with ease by any Legacy, responding perfectly to all commands. The Golem is the wonder of the world; it is the most splendid, powerful creature to ever walk in the Library, and it would be strong enough to wield the weapons of Shi's son, the Sumaru. It can rampage, pillage, unleash magic, and accomplish all the dreams of the undead race.
With this project finished, the Necromancer work on the development of magical totems that emit a field of magical energy. Any weaker creature caught in the field will feel as if trapped inside of a maze, mentally, seeing black walls of piled skulls and intermingled, screaming faces all around. The vision is both distressing and disorienting The Legacies, of course, are immune to this effect.

Okay, after so many sub-par rolls, the dice are bound to have rolled around for me. This is our turn, baby!

Here we go!

2 Actions:
>Go into the empty library east of the museum and spend the majority of the year writing our tribe's history in the books of Thyp'ptyklpt... Add a few embellishments, renditions and subtle fibs while we're at it... We were a great race, as prosperous as a year is long. Use the ashes of our ancestors and the Staff of Gaia to pen these books. Of course, as the entire race is semi- or completely illiterate, the results may be questionable.
(Maybe our Above Average Breeding stat or chaos itself can do us a solid here...)

One action
>Train with and study the armor and weapons we got from the Spartans, see if we can craft replicas of it with our surrounding resources, even if it won't be as nice. We'll try using Silverfish silk, ash, char, paper, wood, pulp, crab shells, fish scales, tiles, and anything else we can get our hands on, even our own bodily fluids and excretions. Naturally, our Silverfish friends are welcome to use this technology if they are physically capable.

The goblins in this civ quest have females, and they are super hot >>5246514. You don't know their culture well enough to determine if they have a caste system or not. They use the common speech, which is English, because that's the language the gods were speaking in the Primordial Multiplayer God Quest. This is why the Earthlings such as the African Americans have been able to interact with the various races they encountered.

Action 1 & 2: The Necromancer PTE begins tearing off the exoskeletons from a dozen Insectoid corpses in his possession. Meticulously, the dark sorcerer carves each exoskeleton into dozens of finger-sized tiles, inscribes nightmarishly profane curses and sigils of abominable implication onto each tile, then marinades the macabre talismans in the boiling ichor of the mutilated insects. Afterwards, the necromancer crafts a cloak of tiles from the woven muscle fibers of the processed corpses combined with the aforementioned chitin plates. Finally, the necromancer embeds an enchantment which inspires singular and overwhelming terror and despair within those unfortunates that behold the cloak. The potency of this enchantment is magnified dramatically by restricting the valid targets of this effect to the Silverfish and creatures derived from them, all other entities are immune.
Action 3: Stripping 10 more insect corpses of their exoskeleton and various membranes, PTE begins fashioning plates chitin to strap onto his Ash golems in order to grant them extra longevity in combat.
> -Comm: Weaving an illusion around himself, PTE disguises himself as an elderly scholar, draped in modest trappings - a hooded robe of thickspun cloth, a time-worn mahogany mask, and a crooked walking stick - comes before the shared human civilization. Acting out the role of a wizened wanderer, PTE hails the shared human civilization as Conquerors of Holy Shi's Offspring and meekly issues an offer. In journeyman's guise, PTE expresses interest in Sumaru's bronze flesh, to have a chance to study such an exotic material would be of grant academic value. For fragments of Sumaru's body the old stranger is willing to accept commissions for magical items - a magical item of lesser quality for each single shard, or alternatively a magical item of average quality per five shards.

I have been doing fine without magic.
I could probably use one or two very specific items but If I start depending on then I will need to more.

Annals of the Atlantean African American Coalition

“Our accursed history began in a broken down neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, on May 4, 2020. When smoking a mysterious, fiendish herb, and practicing a singular form of yoga >>5241539, we unexplicably teleported to the Great Library of Thyp'ptyklpt. In this alien environment, we thrived and quickly established ourselves as the dominant civilization >>5241560. We crafted goods and shared them with the savage natives >>5244529, but in response to our kindness, the humans brutally slaughtered most of our tribe, including our beloved leader, Zakka Shoeloo >>5246980. The few of us who survived started napping for several years, so as to heal our wounds and recover our strength >>5247950. When we woke up, we found that our priestess had transformed our brethen into hor[...] >>5252356

The African Americans publish their annals, and send a copy of the book to each civilization. They also attempt to replicate Spartan technology with various materials, but the task proves much too difficult.

>Population: 9 African American [breeder], 12 African American [insectoid]

>>5253766
The Silverfish begin interbreeding with the crabmen. The genetic assimilation is successful, and the resulting offsprings are healthy and fertile. The hybrid have the body of a Silverfish in general shape, protected by a crab shell, covered with amorphous ganglia, and possessing the head and brain of an African American, and pincers of a crab.
The insects explore the sector west of the museum. Following a 10 kilometer long, twisting tunnel, they arrive in a museum of art. The exhibition includes the fading portrait of a man, signed Basil Hallward; the nauseating portrait of a dog-like creature, signed Richard Upton Pickman; the portrait of an undead necromancer, signed Godmachine; and the disturbing painting of a mountainous landscape, signed Nicholas Roerich. The path goes further to the west and then is abruptly stopped by a bottomless abyss of a hundred meters in diameter. The path continues on the other side.
Last, the insects develop Stone Age technology, copied from the humans.

Epic Critical Event: While exploring the museum of art, the Silverfish encounter a tribe of goblinoid creatures, that have thehead and fur of a hyena. Their tribe is named the Hyena Cabal >>5252626, and they are ruled by the Den Mother. Those creatures are adept at political machinations, but very weak in combat, technology, and magic. The Den Mother pledges allegiciance to the Hive Queen.

The humans build a crab farm in their sewer colony, outside of their fortified city. The crabs are fed from refuse and grime, but are nonetheless delicious. They also begin the construction of a prison. When the project is halfway completed, the ceiling collapses and destroys everything. A few workers are caught under the debris, but are rescued by the army.
Using smelted copper sheets, the engineer Aristonymos develops rudimentary clockwork technology, on par with the Antikythera mechanism from Earth. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism His first device is made of rotating rings which serve no real purpose.

PTE attempts to develop new technology from insectoid corpses. Failure is rare for the mage, who has constructed many marvels over the years. Unfortunately, the material is extremely brittle, and unsuitable to craft anything useful. He theorizes that the frail insects need to develop a warrior caste with stronger shells before he can concretize his project.

Random Event (Move Toward A Thread): From the powerful magic of necromancy and illusion in which they have been bathed for several years, the Legacies have grown a lot spiritually and intellectually, having now the same level of intelligence as a zombie. They will now begin spawning children, and increase their population each year at the same pace as zombies do.

>>5255118
The Mira Mortis, the undead abomination made from the fused brains of Scribes, leads the zombies into developing metallurgy. In only one month, the zombies develop hammers, clubs and body armors rivaling the best work of the Spartans. The zombies also build a stone shrine dedicated to Thyp'ptyklpt. The construction is absolutely loathsome.
The Necronomicon does not exist in the Library; see Turn 8. Thadmancer discovers that there's Ren everywhere in the Great Library, spread everywhere but in very feeble amounts. Thadmancer calculates that the total amount of Ren in the Library is between 2 and 3 units, and measures that the Great Hall alone contains one quarter of an unit of Ren, being the greatest concentration of Ren that he measures anywhere. Further, he measures that his wraiths collectively hold approximatively three percent of an unit of Ren.

We are also going to store valuables here, some old man started asking for Sumaru bits and I fear he might try to steal them.

>Action 2; Try to build crossbows again, we have the technical knowledge from clockwork so this should be easier (tech)
I don’t think this gives me the new research bonus but I’m not sure.

>Action 3; Begin capturing goblins, once captured separate them in groups. Females and males, and then into 3 groups each depending on how violent they are. (melee or ranged)
Enter tunnels, locate potential nest, smoke them out and when they are done go for the stragelers.

Communication to Silverfish hierarchy: It is our time, brothers. We shall rise to supremacy through war, as is my ancestors' custom. This is a glorious time for our empires. The perverse Undead shall pay, and finally be delivered unto Gaia's rest.

Unless you would have us play a lesser role... We will respect your wishes either way.

With the blessings of the Silverfish to go to war:
1 Action:
>Fortify the base further
Attempt to create thick foliage or a badass moat or boulders, or other blessings of Gaia to use as natural defenses against invaders.
2 actions:
>Lead a war party
Take most of the Gnolls, Crabs, half of the _-_AAA_-_'s and as many Silverfishas as would like to participate, into battle against the Undead of the North.

Without the blessings of the Silverfish to go to war:
>Loot the art gallery for materials
>Look for solutions to clearing that giant chasm near the art gallery
>Nurture (experiment on) the Gnolls with the Staff of Gaia.
Attempt to create Greater Gnolls that we can command or ride into combat! They remind us of home, somehow.

I'll hold off on rolls until I clear my actions with my host, the Fishas. (So as to not let the dice rolls influence their decision.)
>>
>>5255380
Now is not the time to go to war yet, our brothers. Especially not with the Gnolls, our fragile new allies. We will be able to build a bridge with our silk, saving you an action. Our own plan will most likely be to build a bridge, develop our technology, and work on the plague mages. Searching for hidden lore in the art gallery and empowering the gnolls are very good ideas on your part as well.
>>
>>5253659
What is this spell of destruction?
>>
>>5255421
Okay, we will hold back for now, and let you handle the chasm.

>Loot the art gallery for materials
>Nurture (experiment on) the Gnolls with the Staff of Gaia.
>Learn from our mistakes and once again study the Spartan armaments in an attempt to discover our own stone- or iron- age equivalents, using the myriad of resources available to us

Communication: Make it clear to the other races that we're good boys, and we didn't even do nuffin'. They's just racists.

Action 1 & 2: PTE dedicates a good deal of time and effort towards the creation of Thadmancer's commission - an unassuming ring fashioned from burnished glass and imbued with the draining invisibility enchantment. Upon completion, the ring is passed into the Thadmancer's possession with no further comment.
Action 3: The necromancer PTE decides to rebase into the thoroughfare situated to the east of the Great Hall. A squad of five invisible ash golems move ahead of migrating faction's bulk, scouting out the terrain ahead for potential hazards and obstacles.

Actions:

Their goal this time is to direct the disease into the form of a flesh-consuming plague, that rapidly eats necrotising and unhealthy tissue, while leaving healthy meat and flesh untouched. Do this in the empty halls, so that a natural quarantine zone exists.

>Enlist the Gnolls and have them severely rile up the Scribes using their political manipulation, to make them think that the Undead are a massive threat to them and the library, and that the other living races would be able to assist. After all, the Undead have killed the most Scribes and made abominations from their brains.

>Build a wood and silken bridge over the chasm, with guards posted on each end. Treat it with fireproof material so that it doesn't just get burned, and ensure that the bridge has multiple redundancies and spare supports.

The Spartans find an area where the floor is solid, and where they can dig underground. They dig up a vast undeground complex with rectangular rooms. The prisoners are dropped in pits with a high ceiling. This system makes the prison difficult to escape, without having to develop well-engineered doors. The underground prison is made of several rectangular rooms.
Engineer Aristonymos keeps working on the development of the crossbow, with the help of his assistants. He builds a complex clockwork machine, which rotates and fires arrows in every directions. Three of his assistants are killed by the machine, which then explodes. The project is declared a failure.
A troop of Spartan veterans are sent to the sewers to clean up a goblin nest. They easily defeat them, with their superior weapons. Five of the goblins kneel down and pledge allegiance to the human general; the others are beaten, and dragged to the underground prison.

>+ underground prison
>+ 5 goblins [vassal], +34 goblins [prisoner]
>Population: 134 humans

>>5255480
The gnolls refuse to be experimented on, and they bite the High Priestess when she approaches them.
The African Americans explore the art gallery for materials. They collect a total of 100 paintings, from which they collect 100 wooden frames and 100 canvases. One of the painting was hiding the entrance to a small cavern. When they enter, they are attacked by their natural enemies, the arcane spirit bats. After a fierce battle, they explore the cavern, and find the portrait of the Angarax, an alien entity covered with blood. They also find a small chest filled with jewels. The high priestess analyzes them and determines that they are enchanted.
When they walk back toward the exit, they find that it has been blocked with boulders. Poisonous smoke is slowly entering the cavern -- clearly, an assassination attempt. The high-pitched laughter of a hyena is heard on the other side. Fortunately, the high priestess uses the Staff of Gaia to purify the air and save her comrades, and no one dies.
Within the span of a year, the insectoid scientist Qualeek Jitterbug develops stone and iron equipment copied and improved from the Spartans. The technology is as developed as the weaponry of pre-colonial Africa, and includes the glagwa, a bell shaped shield made from iron sheets; the rungu, a stone throwing club; the manbele, a hybrid knife-axe; and the lion kpinga, a manbele developed specially to hunt lions.

PTE develops the ring of invisibility; an unassuming ring fashioned from burnished glass. The ring is designed to fit perfectly on the finger of the Thadmancer, and the magic can be activated with a simple word of command.
A squad of five ash golems explores the terrain to the east of the Great Hall. Despite being invisible, they activate a portcullis trap, which prevents them from returning to the Great Hall. The portcullis is made of steel, and they cannot break it. They are in is a large, desolate, and foreboding area. The floor is littered with all manner of broken glass. The air is cold and filled with the sound of thunder. There is no trace of any living creature. After exploring the region for some time, they arrive at a small grotto. Inside, a small, carved statue of a frog-like, obese creature is sitting atop a pedestal.
>+ ring of invisibility
>Population: 196 Legacies

>>5256025
The Hyena Cabal gains control of the Scribes. Using enhanced African American psychotrics and secret brainwashing techniques, they train them to hate the undead, and to hate the Mira Mortis the most. The Scribes are now engaged in a Cold War with the undead, and will use their famous reports to destroy the reputation of the undead (see above), and write newspaper articles to dehumanize them.
The construction of a fireproof, wood and silken bridge over the chasm is a success. A path is now opened to the unknown, and probably dreadful west. The development of anti-undead pathogens is a failure, due to a lack of experimentation subjects.

Would it take an action to just reorganize our troops? Since the Gnolls don't get along with our AAA buds, we should probably move everyone a bit further from each other, within our territory, while trying to properly make peace.

>>5256216
No, it doesn't take an action

>>5256219
Alrighty.

In light of the ongoing fight between our vassals, we'll move the Gnolls a bit deeper into the long tunnel, around one of the many corners where camps are set up.

We'll leave it to you guys to make peace with them. Can't have our boiz fighting among themselves! If you have other things you want to spend actions on, we'll broker for peace on your behalf instead.

>>5255162

Word on the grapevine is that you guys have been trying to make some kind of weapon for the last few years. Would you like us to try coming up with a design of our own for it? We didn't ask for the art of forging before, but we'd like you to teach us everything of your metallurgy if we can produce and deliver this ranged weapon to you.

VERY IMPORTANT Communication to ALL TRIBES + 1 action:
>We will hold an auction for these 20 incredible Enchanted Jewels we have discovered. They are unresearched by our peoples thus far, but they certainly contain immense power, have no doubt, you are free to inspect them from afar. Look, but don't touch until they are yours. The highest bidder (whomever's offer is accepted) will claim all 20 of them. No offers splitting the 20 gems will be accepted. The thing I desire most is an obedient class of slaves, quantity over quality. I will, however, consider all offers. If no offer is explicitly accepted by I, Wux'Dindu of the Black Girth, then the _-_AAA_-_'s shall hoard these jewels all to ourselves, and have half of our race be imbued with their magic power. If we do auction off the jewels, which I would assume counts as a trade, we'll put the action point towards the Gnoll action.

Communication to Gnolls + 1 action:
>I'll personally ask the Gnolls to a cookout to discuss reconsidering our alliance, and becoming willing subjects to Gaia's Blessings. We'll demonstrate to the Hyena Cabal what our goddess can do by blessing the winding hallway to the art gallery with loads of healthy vegetation, inspired by the growth of our other food sources, and kick-started with the newly found paintings as nutrients/fuel. We'll even let the Hyena Cabal use the Staff of Gaia one (1) time, if they give us some of dem enhanced drugs.

Last action:
Solicit dirty, hybrid sex all around the Great Hall. Sucker in both males and females of other races to become infatuated with us, if possible, and cross-breed. Focus: Goblins.

> Action 1, 2 & 3: A plan for the subjugation of the library is gradually taking form in PTE's mind, but first the groundwork must be lain out. The great necromancer once again secludes himself and commences research in the vaulted and abstruse subject of teleportation. Space-time was one of the oldest and most fundamental forces of reality, and indeed uncountable sorcerers have wasted their lives vainly striving to fully comprehend the boundless fractal temporal. The necromancer had no delusions of mastering the capricious, ever-shifting dimensions of space-time, even if his undead nature afforded him a theoretical eternity to study it. Not only was such a pursuit grossly impractical in the short-term, but in the long-term all but guaranteed unimaginable peril. The necromancer was acutely aware that the wreckage of shattered timelines and discarded frames of reference harbor undefinable things, anomalies bereft of origin, trajectory, or destination which pose a grave existential threat even to those liberated from the mortal coil. Fortunately, PTE has no need to delve so deeply into the treacherous eddies of causality and relativity. All he requires is the capacity to create a stable spatial rift, two points in space designated, overlapped, then linked thereby allowing passage between as though they were adjacent - a straight-forward, reliable rift spell. PTE is aware that even an ambition as narrowly-defined as this would demand years, perhaps decades of intensive study, even for an erudite mind such as his - what's more he has no related literature or reference materials on hand to work off of. Fortunately, he had devised a solution to this conundrum, one that would permit him to bypass the time investment and some of the inherent dangers of blind experimentation - he would fall back upon his primary discipline. As he did earlier, the necromancer would commune with the errant souls of bygone sorcerers and deceased scholars, deftly filching pertinent insights and coercing them to surrender scraps of knowledge which might prove useful in his endeavor.

I just got back from the office so the update will be an hour or two later than planned. Normally, I'm homeworking and can write the update while working.

We were going to bid, but only if the Undead also did it. Mostly hesitated since giving the AAA members of our population as slaves would have been very awkward when we live with each other. Much rather you lads have the gems instead.
>>
>>5257312
Of course, of course. We realize it was a bit ridiculous to include you in the proposal, but we couldn't rewrite it due to the TFC (Thyp'pty Fried Crab) grease on our hands, it would've made the note look all sloppy. Also, we didn't want to appear to be going behind your backs.
>>
>>5257330
Of course, of course. If we had to bid, we'd probably have split off a portion of the population to be under your direct control instead of slavery. We do still have Silverfish warriors who you can command for expeditions and such, but auction prizes would have been direct subordinates of the AAA.

Let us know if you need anything to help research of those gems. Maybe there'll be something useful beyond the bridge.

Merchant Trisha Jones holds an auction for enchanted jewels. “Come one, come all, modafuckas. I'm slingin' magic crack rocks an' sheeiit.” A goblin approaches, seemingly interested. “Iz dis reallrit magic, m'am?” Trisha's eyes widden. “Who you lookin' at, modafucka?” She screams hysterically, and pushes the goblin on the floor. The goblin begs for his life, but it only makes her angrier, and she kicks him repeatedly in the head. “Wata [unintelligible] fucka, dis ain't [unintelligible] [unintelligible] not gon' [unintelligible] piece of [unintelligible].”
After this incident, no other customer comes near her stall. [Redacted] sends her on a diplomacy mission to the Den Mother. When she returns, she reports that her mission was a success. She describes the gnolls as kind, wise, and humble, and explains that the previous events were only a misunderstanding. She brings as a gift pouches of enhanced crack, for the African Americans to enjoy.
A few months later, Trisha and Doumbek Ray, her pimp, travel back together to the Great Hall. Trisha is wearing delicate make-up made from ash and crushed coral, and looks charming and beautiful. Doumbek Ray plays advanced rhythms on his drum, and she jiggles her body seductively to attract customers. Despite this, no one seems interested. She notices that the goblins, in particular, are avoiding her. This makes her quite upset, and she kills another one by stomping on his skull.

The forge of the Spartans is improved with pipes and bellows, to the point that they can produce heat above the temperature of 1000°C. By mixing copper with various substances harvested from sewer refuse, they produce the metal known as bronze, which is harder than pure copper. They are now able to create tools and weapons of bronze.
The humans and goblins explore the Library, searching for books. In the central area, everything has been burned and reduced to ash; in the sewers, there are no books or libraries. They attempt to trade clockwork trinkets with the Scribes, but even the Scribes have lost all books. The Scribes have only book, written on a stone table in cuneiform, which is a theological essays against the undead.
A battle royale is held in the human prison. The rules are as follow: the goblins have to collect a few stone daggers, which are hidden at various locations of the prison. Then, they are to fight to death, and the surviving one can leave. The humans do not know of any magic, but while the goblins are battling, they whisper dark prayers to Thyp'ptyklpt, Shi, and “whichever dark force would lend an ear.” The sound of thunder is heard in the distance.

The Silverfish explore past the bridge. They arrive is a large chamber with a single throne, and a floor of obsidian and crystal. This place is called the Tribunal. It is a site of great antiquity, and possibly the oldest structure in the Great Library. It is said that Thyp-p'tyklpt created the Tribunal to deal with the disputes of the Scribes, and to uphold his right to the secrets of the universe. Past the Tribunal, the path leads to the Emerald Temple, a site of great power and mystery. The Temple is a large chamber, with a wide walkway leading to a large, circular dais. The dais is covered in gems, and is surrounded by a pool of black water, with the gems being reflected in the surface.
Using shells, carapaces, and silk, the insects develop the prototype of a powerful crossbows, based on the model developed by Aristonymos, but with higher structural strength and elastic force.
An army of 500 Silverfish breeders are sent to the northern reaches to battle the undead. The weather is cold and unforgiving. The battle is long and hard. The Silverfish are courageous fighters, and their race fights to the death, even when they have no chance of winning. Their foes are relentless. Those who have higher intelligence know their lord will torture them if they lose. The Silverfish are slaughtered. Thadmancer appears on the battlefield, and laughs evilly. He raises his hands to the sky, invokes the name of the dark gods, and the corpses of the freshly deceased Silverfish rise...

The necromancer PTE communes with the most evil souls of sorcerers from hell. With the promise that they can reincarnate as undead, they share forbidden knowledge with him. A hundred meter wide eye appears, floating inside the Great Hall. It is the gaze of the great demon Abaddon, and it leaks tears of blood, which floods the Library. The eye disappears, and PTE loses his mind, his soul trapped in ghastly dreamscapes. After months of wandering about the library, he comes back to his sense, with the knowledge of rift sorcery; the equivalent of decades of studies. He knows this sorcery to be dangerous unnatural, and greatly unreliable.

Fuck these rottas. Our AAA and human allies, we believe it’s time to lay siege to the Thadmancer using this new ranged support. Are you with us? We shall share the secrets of the Crossbow with each of you, if so. Well, obviously we’ll share it with the AAA anyway, since they’re part of our crew.

And to the humans, we’ve heard of you attempting to contact deities. We know just the place, deep within our territory, that we could let you use- if you aid us in this.

Take advantage of this hubris and linger at the edge of their territory, shooting down zombies and closing in towards their core.

Thadmancer cackles to himself, the foolish primitives dare to trespass against the dark arts. Fine let them suffer the fate of the ignorant.

Thadmancer chants in ancient tongue as a sea of green gas gathers within the great hall. Poisoning the lungs of all who dare approach and concealing his mass of undead from any ranged attacks.

Thadmancer puts on his ring of invisibility and pulls forth his wraiths from the ether. Together they move behind enemy lines and shoot fireballs at strategic positions to break enemy formation.

Finally the Mira Mortis leads the undead into battle by supporting them with his magic. He realeses waves of pure necromantic magic, shortening the life of his opponents and strengthening the undead horde with necrotic energy.

If successful, he will search for a rarely-trafficked region of the insect's territory and invoke his Rift spell there, manifesting a spatial gateway. The portal formed will lead nowhere for now, utterly inert, nothing but a mere spatial blemish until it is linked to another active gateway. Once he is certain the rift is at least stable enough to sustain itself until the end of the turn, PTE hastily exfiltrates from bug country.
> Action 3: Travelling covertly, the necromancer PTE returns to undead territory and descends into the deep water dungeon through the aperture in the Great Hall's heart. Doubtful that his invisibility will obscure traces of his presence in the fluid, PTE takes great care to avoid needless motion lest he attract unwanted attention from the denizens of this murky, subterranean reservoir. Untroubled by the absence of oxygen, the undead mage motionlessly sinks to the boundary between the first and second level's of the Deepwater dungeon. Once in position, he performs the rift spell once again, manifesting an second gateway suspended in the aquatic abyss - then, bracing himself for the whirling pandemonium that shall come next, he links it to the gateway set-up above, in the Silverfish's territory.

>>5258469
The times of peace are gone. The civilizations are now at war. On one side, the Allied Forces, made of the insects, the Africans Americans, and the Spartans. On the other side, a newly formed alliance between the undead. Each side holds deep rancor for the other. The insects hate the undead for burning down their nest; the undead hate the insects for being dangerous warmongers. Even the Scribes, holders of sacred knowledge, engage in propaganda.

The Allied Army of the African Americans and Insects run military drills in the blood swamp of the Great Hall. The environment has greatly changed; it is now a misty swamp, infested with mosquitoes and bats. In some parts of the swamp, the mist looks toxic; even poisonous. They both practice with each other's ranged weapons, strengthening their spirit of comradeship. The atmosphere is tense; war is looming.

Random Event (PC Positive): At night time, the shrouded golems work secretly to make the Silverfish wall waterproof, by adding solid, crystallized ash to it.

The secret servives of the Allied Forces send a stealth squad of African Americans and abominable hybrids to ambush the zombies. Once per day, the zombies leave their camp in groups of one hundred, to feed from the blood of the swamp. This is the perfect opportunity to strike. The stealth squad attacks them with the hammer and anvil tactic; the “anvil” is a “substantial body, that hits the enemy hard and pins”, while the “hammer” is a highly mobile army that flanks the target. The zombie army, alone without its leader, is confused, and fights in a disorganized manner. They are killed, one after another, by the flying rungus and maringes.

In another section of the swamp, the Allied Forces send a company of Spartans, clad in shining armors of bronze, in perfect phalanx formations, advancing in close ranks. They ambush another group of zombies. This attack is even more efficient than the hammer and anvil tactic. The zombies fight like brutes, throwing themselves at the shields and armors of the Spartans, impaling themselves on their spears. The result is a complete wipe out of the zombies.

The largest contigent of the army then enters the swamp. This is the Ranged Battalion; a highly mobile battalion, which the insects send to reduce the enemy numbers. Their plan is to unleash their swarm afterward. However, the undead are not as defenseless as the insect tacticians had predicted. When they approach, a dense, toxic cloud appears above the undead village, surrounding, concealing it, and asphixiating all creatures that gets near it. The insects, unprepared for this move, retreat back to their territory.
>>
>>5258471

Random Event (Epic Critical):All of this had already been meticulously calculated by the inhumanely intelligent Mira Mortis. The Thadmancer appears on the battlefield, materializing from the shadows, behind his mortal enemies. He whispers harsh, crytic words, and casts a powerful fireball, which makes the blood of the swamp reach high temperatures, and boil all of the insects. Hundreds of frail, chitinous bodies drown in the cursed swamp. The Thadmancer raises his hands, as he had done before, and thanks the dark gods. He mocks the mortals, spewing hateful words, and revives them as his new army of zombies.

After the attack of fire, PTE travels past the Silverfish's wall, undetected by the sentinels. There, he invokes the dangerous Rift spell, and creates a stable gateway connected to the Immaterium, the dreadful plane of psychic energies, home of demons and the chaos gods. The sentinels, seeing this evil magic, begin evacuating the citizens. Then, PTE travels to the Deepwater Dungeon, getting past all of its defenses, invisible and stealthy. Not taking any time to admire the beautiful environment, he creates a second rift gate. A psychic portal is opened between the two gates, and the waters of the reservoir flood the insect territory. The insects who hadn't evacuated are swiftly drowned into a 10 feet tall tsunami. A torrential river runs through the twisting corridors, and falls into the bottomless chasm of the art gallery.
The toll of war is as follow:
>200 zombies die from the attacks of the African Americans and of the Spartans
>14 of the African Americans and 32 of the Spartans are killed by the zombies
>500 insect dies, boiled by Thadmancer's fireball, 195 of which are raised as zombies
>27 insects die, drown from PTE's flood, 10 of which are raised as zombies

There, they attempt to kneel before the altar and pray to the gods, to close this unstable rift and cease the deluge of water.

>Action 3: The Thadmancer's army is now made of an insubstantial number of humanoids, and mostly insects. This is bad in terms of forces... But potentially a blessing in disguise, for the Silverfish know perfectly well how their bodies work. The Plague Mages work on developing the same thing as before: A flesh-eating bacteria.

A smile creeps through Thadmancer's lips as he sees the carnage from the resulting battle. The primitives never stood a chance

Drained from the conflict Thadmancer ponders on how to regain his lost source of arcana. He comes upon an epiphany the very soul of a mortal should contain some divine energy. With the proper use of necromancy instead of binding a soul to this plane, he could drain it of its energy.

Seeing the abundance of blood around him Thadmancer would begin his newest experiment. He would take the endless supply of blood and congeal it into Frankenstein abominations. He could create a race of gorelings able to regenerate by absorbing the blood around the swamp.

He would then have his minions construct a stone fortress to repel any future attacks from the primitives.

Question:
Doesn’t consuming raw souls dilute your own?
I know in KULT it does not, in esoterrorists more or less and others systems are not very clear.
>>
>>5258630
In real life, evil entities feed from the suffering of souls. They don't have a soul themselves, hence, cannot dilute it.

However, I'm curious to hear, what is the rationale for soul dilution in Esoterrorists? I'm not familiar with the system other than Mystery Man.
>>
>>5259511
My understanding is that the state of mind is like baking/seasoning and eating “raw” might not give sustenance
(excepcion to those that consume the fisical body)
Hence why they toy with victims and why different entities target specific demographics.

From the Practice:
"An organ is only useful to the Practice if it has been charged with negative energies, such as those that result from fear, panic and agony."

From the Host:
"They only crave the soul essence of the fervently faithful who have been pure in deed as well as in belief. They recoil from the soul-taste of holier-than thou types whose supposed devotion masks selfish or exploitative behavior.”

From the Ovvashi:
“It targets them because they are ideal for exploitation. The homeless have nothing; they are hungry, desperate and alone and they understand need like no other.”

> Action 1: Gathering up the distortion totems in his possession, PTE begins the arduous task of incorporating rudimentary invisibility enchantments into them. The intent being to help shroud the existence of the actual totems, making them at least inconspicuous enough to avoid detection via cursory inspection.
> Action 2: Having neglected the task in favor of countering the Silverfishes warmongering, PTE decided now was an ideal opportunity to relax by process the corpses in his possession into base materials. After compiling the remaining insect corpses in his possession, the necromancer begins to clinically dismantling them. As the bodies were rendered down into base materials, they were distributed into four separate categories: Cerebral matter, Ichor, Offal, Chitin.
> Action 3: Feeling restless, PTE reviewed the tactical situation of the undead alliance and the escalating conflict between it and the silverfish confederation. After some further contemplation, PTE finally settled on a decision. Mustering up a quarter of the insect ichor and all of the insect brain matter from his personal stock, the necromancer began the construction of a magical artifact. Selectively gathering the least decayed neural synapses from the pile of cerebral mush piled before him, PTE began channel faint streams of arcane energy through gossamer threads of nervous material stimulating the flesh to begin replicating and weaving itself into an intricate and densely packed spherical mass about the size of an orange. Next, the occultist saturate the insectoid blood with arcane energy, compelling it to envelop the spherical mass, then warping the excess fluid into the shape of a scepter. Finally, the necromancer crystalized the magically charged ichor and began to inscribe an esoteric network of theurgical sigils across the newly manifested relic - A Scepter of Fell Dominion, with a few choice modifications. This sort of magical item is typically employed by necromancers as a means of extending the depth and breath of control over their undead minions, the relic allows the user to stream a sliver of their consciousness through the minds of all undead beings leashed to their will consequentially enhancing the general competence and coordination of those servants. PTE's design however was substantially more specialized, in exchange for an *extreme* boost to the Scepter's potential potency PTE had implemented two major restrictions to its the scope and range. Regarding the scope, the item's effect only applies to undead invertebrates bound to serve the user. Regarding the range, only undead within the caster's direct line of sight are valid targets for the effect. In the event that the customized Scepter of Fell Dominion is successfully constructed this turn, deliver it to the Thadmancer with a note briefly outlining its function and limitations.

The goblin vassals of the Spartans travel to the territory of their people. The journey is long and treacherous, for the goblin tribes are not unified. Some are willing to speak to them; others attack them on sight. But they bring the gift of bronze and steel, and the destructive power of this gift cannot be ignored by the tribes. The goblins take the weapons from the humans, and their tribes are unified by Kletug, the Shaman King. The king leads a horde of 15,000 goblins to the south, toward the Great Hall, but their progression is halted by the fortress of the undead. Despite their great number, when they attempt to climb the walls, they are killed with boiling blood. Poorly unified, they murder Kletug and sacrifice him to their gods.

The Silverfish participate in a grand orgy, similar to Illuminati rituals of our Earth. I will not describe such degeneracy, so watch as documentary “Eyes Wide Shut” by Stanley Kubrick if the subject picks your curiosity. The females of their Silverfish lay hundred of translucid, greenish eggs. Once these eggs hatch, slimy, young Silverfish larvae emerge and crawl on the ground. When they are very small, they congregate and form a cluster. Silverfish larvae feed on decaying matter, and only the strong reaches maturity.

Past the empty libraries is a narrow canyon, leading to a circular chamber with a waterfall at the far end. The canyon is heavily littered with rubble, but clear of small creatures. The canyon leads to a large chamber, roughly half the size of the museum. The walls are covered with glyphs, and the floor is littered with scattered humanoid bones.
Back in town, the African Americans use enhanced drugs to travel to the spirit realm. They hope to develop psychic faculties such as telepathy. In the spirit realm, they find themselves in a barren area, in front of a pond of green acid, which moves slowly. They travel further through an endless expanse of salt flats, and get lost. They forget why they had travelled here, enthralled by the beauty of a landscape which holds the beauty of Africa, their forgotten native land. When the effect of the drugs dissipate, they wake up back in the Great Library.
In the southwest regions, the pimps Doumbek Ray and Lamarcus Russell attempt to strike a deal with the death knights who hold them imprisoned. With the irresistible promise of free pussy, and their confusing, fast-paced flow of words, they manage to strike a deal with the guards, and get released.

The Dark Lord feeds from the souls of the deceased, delighting from the succulent agony and fear. He torments them, absorbs what he can of of magic, but they hold too little ren for them to be useful. To regain his former splendor, this will not be sufficient.
Unfazed, he works on his next project, which is the creation of blood golems. He shapes the blood into vaguely humanoid creatures, with deadly teeth and claws of rusted clotted blood. The blood golems are entirely loyal to their master and can regenerate indefinitely for as long as they are in the blood swamp.
Then, the Dark Lord works on his most ambitions project yet: the undead fortress. The zombies and golems work together, lifting boulders, slowly, over several months. The walls are painted black, and the gates are painted a curde mural of the Dark Lord's face. A wooden tower rises high, which is Thadmancer's residence, from which he can watch the entirety of his dominion.

The necromancer PTE dissecates the insect corpses in his possession, separating them into four base materials: cerebral matter, ichor, offal, and chitin. The materials are sterilized and stored in jars of glass, which are piled up in his laboratory with his other collections. This sight would be frightening for a human or an insectoid, yet PTE feels nothing but cold indifference.
The distortion totems sink into the rotten floor of the blood swamp. It is only too late that PTE notices that their energy field has disappeared, and they cannot be recovered or restored.
Following a ritual of extreme thaumaturgical and scientific complexity, PTE crystalizes magically charged ichor, a vile, organic material, to form a new artifact of regal craftmanship: the Scepter of Fell Dominion. He makes one scepter for himself, and makes a duplicate for his clone, Thadmancer. The creation is perfect, and works accurately, as he had designed.

After the death of the Hive Queen, and crowning of a new one, the Silverfish convene and continue to discuss their issue. The most notable flaw in their war tactics is that deaths provide more fodder for their enemies. They need to kill an overwhelmingly high amount, in order to make up for any casualties. While the shell-plague is a solution, a preventative measure is also needed.

Action 1:
>The Silverfish attempt to evolve blood that rapidly acidifies upon death. This allows them to harm those who kill them, and serves to reduce dead bodies into unusable tatters that the necromancers can’t make use of.

Next, the evolution of new castes is necessary. They’ve been through war now, solving the earlier problem of not having enough experience, so it’s high time to create a warrior class. They aim to breed beings capable of wielding the artifacts they’ve been given. The Tauborn are meant to be hulking warriors with thick armour, extra arms, and great strength.

And the Overseers are meant to overcome the sneaky motherfuckers who keep waltzing deep into our territory to do shit. This caste is intended to have hypersensory capabilities and processing ability, to detect the unseen.

Action 2:
>Evolve a superior Warrior caste, with shells capable of turning blades away, Herculean strength, and bravery to match. These shall wield the blades in baffle, as chosen knights of the hive.

Action 3:
>Evolve Silverfish with hypersensory capabilities. Extra antennae, boosted senses of taste, touch and hearing, sharper eyes that see additional spectrums, all sorts of abilities to overcome the undetected, and bring them to light.

And finally, as communication, they send the same group of Crab supplicants off in search for the Scribes and their knowledge.


>Send envoys to the scribes to beg them for aid regarding the rift. What we have to offer is simple. The Silverfish are beings who assimilate, and they’ve eaten countless books, many of which were magical in nature. With the loss of the great treasure trove, any possible knowledge may still remain in the form of assimilated information, buried within the minds of the most ancient silverfish. We invite them to visit and see if they can make use of this.

Seeing the weakened state of his arcane reservoirs, Thadmancer would instead attempt to strengthen the efficiency with which he already use his magic. He would create a crown of potency, a device to focal his arcane energy upon the material plane. After calling upon his clone for assistance he would gather blood from the swamp and crystalize it into crown. He would then lay a myriad of enchantments on it to allow him to better use what little magic he had left.

The destructive threat of the goblins and lack of proper border with his dominion disturbed Thadmancer. Using his insectoid zombies to great efficiency with his new gift, he would personally oversee the construction of a myriad of stone walls at the four entrances of the great hall. Though, unlike the primitives', these walls would have stone gates allowing for his soldiers to move in and out of his territory with ease.

Thadmancer would command his wraiths to begin spreading his worship to the northern goblin tribes. After showing off their dark magic they would promise power and glory to any would-be Warband chieftain who pledges his loyalty to the dark lord.

> Action 1, 2 & 3: PTE and his followers traverse the scorched and crumbling passages of the Great hall until they arrive at the Thadmancer's fortress. Once behind the roughly hewn stone walls
the dread sorcerer begins constructing a large obelisk of intricately curving and jagged geometries. As has become his signature, PTE constructed the monument out of magically resonant glass sourced through the repeated incineration of the insect flesh within his possession. Every surface of the monolith is choked with densely packed blocks of glyphs and ritualistic diagrams of foreboding implication, PTE carving them into the material at a feverish pace. Only once his magnum opus is complete is its true nature revealed - baleful arcane energy ripples up the obelisk's tip, before flaring with unprecedented violence and rupturing the fabric of reality. The gaping aperture that was created, and held open, by PTE's monolith led directly into the dimensional plane of entropy. Almost immediately, the looming entropic nexus began ravenously siphoning thermal energy from its surroundings, causing the temperature within the Great Hall, and indeed eventually the library at large, to begin plummeting towards absolute zero at an alarming rate. Simultaneously, the rip in reality endlessly hemorrhaged forth a smothering miasma of negative energy which expanded outwards from Thadmancer's fortress, constantly invigorating the undead and eroding away the living essence of mortals. In a matter of hours, the concentrations of entropic energies ascend to such obscene heights that the Thadmancer's fearsome battlements are functionally sterilized of all microbial life.

Hey QM, got a question about the races. The necromancers come from:

>+Mythical Leader (Rare Attunement Necromancy]

Right? Are they considered just an NPC asset of the civilisation, or do they have any sort of player-insert immunity outside of that? And what sort of bonuses does that give in regards to rolls? I'd like to know the general level of the Necromancers themselves, compared to the soldiers and troops of the other races. Because it feels a bit demoralising that a single unit can pretty much completely repel anything else solo.
>>
>>5260811
The necromancers are mere NPCs. They are roughly worth 100 units. Thadmancer's fireball was so strong because he got an epic critical bonus.

The insects attempt to develop into evolve into three new species. The first mutation attempts to strenghen the acid of their digestive system, so that to becomes deadly to predator. This mutation is unsuccessful, and results into larvae that die from their own acids. The second mutation attempts to develop greater senses, with extra antennae, however, those larvae have a smaller penis and are put to death by the other insects. The third mutation is the development of a warrior caste, with huge muscles and hardened shells. This mutation is successful, and the result is the Tauborn, which can crush a human skull in only one second. Those extraordinary warriors are trained since the youngest age in the usage of the Tau's Greatsword, and hold particularly strong hatred for everything that is dark or undead.

The humans send two expeditions. The first one, to explore the upper floors. A team of 15 workers begin to drill into the stone ceiling of the quarry. Unfortunately, this creates a cave-in, and they get crushed from falling boulders, dying as the god Sumaru had died before. The second expedition is more successful. A team of 30 workers are sent to the northern labyrinth, and collect high inflammable bat guano. The population of bats in the region has increased dramatically since the Great Hall has been filled with blood, and completing the task is easy.

The new high priestess of the African Americans communes with her goddess. The goddess reveals that the name “Gaia” is a mistranslation of the Spartans. In fact, her correct name in the African languages is “Mami Wata”, the Voodoo nature goddess. Further, she reveals that among her boons is the power of creating Voodoo zombies, which would not be expected of the Spartan Gaia. The high priestess rises the body of rotten, drown crabmen from the Rift River, and turns them into zombies who obey all of her orders.

In the southeast regions, archaeologists of the African Americans research the meaning of the strange glyphs. They discover that the glyphs can easily be converted to the Roman alphabet, and begin the translation. As they had expected, the text is about Thyp'ptyklpt. However, the revelations of the text are entirely blasphemous, and it is not magical, as they had hoped. They glyphs reveal that Thyp'ptyklpt is actually an ancient avatar of Shi, the creator himself, and the true reason for his nature is to protect and guide the mortal and divine realms away from the creator's wrath. It is his duty to prevent the creator from entering the mortal realm and destroying it, as he has done countless times before. The text warns that one must never pray to Shi, for fear of causing the destruction of the multiverse.

The Thadmancer gets his zombies to sculpt a crown of stone. TDE did not express that he's sharing the crystalization technology. He then lays a myriad enchantments, but the enchantments, lacking a device to store the magical energy, dissipate within hours. All that he is left with is a crown of stone with no magical power.
Using the Scepter of Fell Dominion to lead his insect zombies, he constructs four stone walls at the four entrances to the great hall. In particular, the western wall is built adjacent to the wall of the Spartans, and the southern wall is built adjacent to the wall of the insectoids. Unlike the insects' wall, his has a stone gate, which prevents intruders from entering.
Last, he sends a emissary to the goblin horde of the north. The emissary never returns, and is declared “dead”.
The Mira Mortis warns that you are lacking corpses to expand your population significantly, and recommends that you crush a primitive tribe.

MAJOR EVENT

The necromancer PTE creates a black obelisk inside of the undead fortress. A black hole opens above the obelisk's tip; an ominous eye connecting the Great Library to the Plane of Entropy. In the vicinity of the obelisk, in a radius of approximately 100 meters, heat and oxygen become increasingly rare, leaving through the black hole. The closer one gets to the obelisk, the worse it gets. Further, all magic, except which is derived from negative energy, disappears within that radius. Undead appear unaffected by this; in fact, the obelisk seem to revigorate them. The library, being infinite in size, has an infinite supply of energy, and should not be destroyed. The ramifications of this event are unclear, however, a cataclysm seems imminent. The floor under the obelisk becomes unstable.

Oh fuck yeah. Having more undead around kinda sucks, but voodoo magic doesn’t seem as bad as what the two necromancers do. Just try not to do it around our new recruits, they’re pretty big, eh? Born and bred to crush skulls.

By the way, AAA, do we have access to your metal weapons?

>Action 1: Send a detachment of Silverfish to aid the Spartan Wall Defenses in crushing the Zombie Horde. Bring 50 Breeders, 25 Weavers, and 25 Tauborn, with the leader wielding one of the Greatswords. The weavers will close in behind them, setting silken traps to harry and ensnare the mindless zombies. While they’re stuck, the crossbow-wielding breeders will blast them to bits, before the Tau and breeders with melee weapons charge in to finish them.

>Action 2: Learning from your foes is integral. The Silverfish have taken note of how the Necromancers carve out artifacts and soulstones to permanently increase their natural capabilities. They ought to be able to do the same in some way, conceptually. After much thought, they discover a way to at least attempt it. The Silverfish have the ability to assimilate what they eat. So if they eat a silverfish, they’ll be assimilating their talent at assimilation. There comes a frenzy to consume dead bodies with vigor from now on, to ensure that they don’t fall into undead hands, and that their genetic potential is completely recycled. The Bugs attempt to improve their assimilation potential permanently, by practicing it regularly and multiplying its effectiveness by itself.

>Acid blood, same as before. Now that they need bodies, however, they’ll evolve this in a way where corpses melt into a soup form upon death, which can still be gathered up, diluted, and drank to recover the dna within.

Thank you very much. And to confirm it again, you have our crossbows.

32 isn’t bad, I guess, considering that they’re assaulting a fortification and we’ve got the RS bonus.

I kinda ran off the assumption that they were, as a sort of mindless horde, and the fact that they mass-convert upon killing things.

It’s adjacent to our own wall, not parallel to it. And it’s a river, not a solid block of water. As we’re still in communication with the Spartans, it stands to reason we can access them in some way.

I have four diffrent walls at each of the four entrances to the great wall. The one adjacent to you is the southern one and isn't connected to the eastern one I'm attacking. It would presumably cut off your access to the eastern part of the great hall.
>>
>>5261608
I guess we’ll see if the rolls bypass that then. Both of my walls have been completely useless in the past, to the point where a 52 roll caused them to be completely ignored like they weren’t there, and let PTE waltz into the heart of my territory. So I’m going to be pretty miffed if it’s treated that differently this time. If the interpretation of the wall is literally just a physical object, there’s not much stopping people from simply climbing it. Or in fact, just claiming the entire thing for themselves, because it’s right in front of their territory and the undead are far away. If it’s an actual defended location, with troops and guards, I guess rolls will sort it out like it did with the goblins.
>>
>>5261608
Hahaha, _-_AAA_-_'s have the secret ability "Fence Hopper", you fools. Your defenses are doomed!
>>
>>5261616
You would hope the QM would interept that a defensive structure like a wall would be manned by soldiers, thus actually serving its function. Also I think PTE only managed to get across since he was using a single unit with invisibility. A stone wall has no use if you the people manning it can't see the intruders their supposed to stop especially if it's a small amount.
>>
>>5261686
That was indeed what I hoped back when I spent actions to build it. But there was absolutely no mention of the wall’s existence, nor the guards, nor it adding any level of difficulty to the roll, coupled with the fact that ‘Opening a magic portal’ and ‘Sneaking past the wall’ was contained in the same action. So I’d expect the same to apply here, where going to help the spartan automatically means attempting to circumvent the obstacle at the same time.

> Comm - To create another Stave of Potence, or equivalent artifact, would demand materials of greater quality and magical richness than PTE currently has access to. If Thadmancer could supply suitably rare and powerful reagents then PTE could conjure forth an appropriately resplendent artifact for his comrade. In the meantime however, the necromantic enchanter voices his intention to create something which may help mend, and potentially even enrich, his host's tarnished soul. Maddeningly, the sorcerer refuses to elaborate further.

>>5261549
> Comm - PTE accepts your offer.

>>5261092
> Action 1, 2, & 3: Wandering to the center of the Thadmancer's Keep, PTE orders his golems to unload his entire remaining store of insect ichor. Focusing his formidable magical prowess through his Stave of Potence, PTE warps and weaves the ichor of several dozen insects into the shape of a crude, hulking throne - approximating a craggy texture complimentary to that of the stonework of the surrounding fortress - then solidifies the fluid mass into a crystalline material. Finally, the necromancer spends many days imbuing the throne with a complex series of intermeshing enchantments. The end result is a Repository of Quintessence, a mystical object which when interacted with in a particular way (in this case, when sat upon) will absorb the souls of the recently deceased within its broad proximity, then break them down into pure spiritual essence by exhaustively expunging all traces of identity, experience, and will from them. The Spiritual Essentia produced is then absorbed into the user, enriching and empowering their spirit. The key distinctions between Spiritual Essentia and Souls is that the former is *way* less magically potent than the latter (roughly 1/100th as potent), and that, unlike Souls, Essentia can be consumed in any amount without fear of spiritual corruption, ego destruction, or cognitive subversion. Through the consumption of exorbitant quantities of this Essentia, it is possible for one to enhance the quality of one's soul, and by extension their magical potential.

Aristonymos designs tunnel plans to dig a tunnel under the undead. The King rejects his plans, because there's no ground to dig into, and this will only cause another cave-in. The King dispatches a platoon of crossbowmen, who kill all the mindless zombies on the enemy wall.
An army of 500 undead insectoids arrives, personally commanded by their mythical leader, Thadmancer, who is holding the Staff of Fell Dominion. The zombies are much more competent and coordinated than normal, and fight with the same rigor as Spartan phalanxes. They quickly defeat the humans, and reclaim their wall.
To the south, floating on the back of crabmen, a Silverfish army attacks Thadmancer's southern wall, led by a Tau paladin. Behind their own puny wall of bookshelves, the insects are no match to the undead archers. The Tau paladin raises his greatsword, and it shines like the sun, blinding his foes, and making them screech in pain. A flurry of crossbow bolts falls on the blinded zombies, and they all perish in one minute. With silken ropes, they climb over the wall, and ride on the crabmen toward the gates of their human allies.
The undead, feeling empowered from winning the first battle, are now trying to push past the Spartan wall. This endeavor is foolish, for even Shi's son, the Sumaru, with all his divine might, could not break this wall. The Greek fortress is simply impregnable. At the same time, the Spartan forces cannot quite defeat the more numerous undead. With the battle stuck in a draw, Thadmancer is in a state of vulnerability. He flees back to his own fortress, leaving his zombies behind. Without the magic of the Staff of Fell Dominion, the zombies break their ranks, and are decimated by the humans. A hundred of them die, before the rest of the horde flees.
When the insect knights arrive, the battle has already ended. But they did not travel in vain. The Spartans open their gates to them, and they reinforce the wall with their army.

The King of Sparta forces Engineer Aristonymos to give up on his fruitless clockwork design, and demands that he harvests the power of fire. Aristonymos works day and night on extracting saltpaper from guano. The process is long and difficult. One day, his laboratory explodes, killing his two latest assistants. Aristonymos rejoices, forthis event means he has achieved all of his goals and dreams as an inventor. The Spartans are now in possession of the most powerful technology of history.

In the Black Fortress, Mira Mortis bathes in the negative energy from the Plane of Entropy, and rejoices. The despicable creature thinks about many ways to destroy all life on earth. It even secretly plots Thadmancer's demise, and enjoys picturing itself as the new supreme lord of the undead. Its intelligence is only rivaled by that of Aristonymos, the human engineer. With the energy of necromancy, Mira Mortis develops a necrotic plague that can raise and enthrall the dead.

The High Priestess Mami Rihanni-Tyqueria works on the Voodoo crabs, attempting to turning them into magic sinks or magic mirrors. Mami Wata does not answer this call.
From the eastern canyon, the African archeologists send a bat to quickly inform the Scribes about their discovery. Rebel Scribes were wiped out in Turn 5. Scribe Cantaber reads the letter, panicked. The terrifying knowledge contained in those glyphs could destroy the world and their life. The Scribes obliterate all knowledge, all records of Shi, and publish news articles that promote atheism. Further, with the help of the Hyena Cabal, they invent Marxism so as to promote materialism.
The African Americans hold a breeding international event. While not as popular as the Olympic Games, they are joined by goblins from the human kingdom, and goblins from the northern horde. The bloodlines of both races are surprisingly compatible, and produce orcs, who have the general shape and height of an African American, and the green skin and pointy teeth of a goblin. From the African Americans, the orcs also inherit the Atlantean thug lifestyle.

The Silverfish attempt to evolve two new mutations. The development of acidic blood is still unsuccessful; the development of their assimilation ability, however, is successful. By cannibalizing the corpses of their own dead, they extract the gene of assimilation, which is then itself assimilated in a greater assimilation ability. When attempting to cannibalize the bodies of an insect possessing greater assimilation, they find that the ability is not further developed, because it is the same original genetic material that is absorbed. Thus, the Silverfish attain maximum optimization of their genetic potential in terms of assimilation.

PTE develops the theory of spiritual Essentia. While only an unproven theory, a simulation ran by Mira Mortis shows that the theory of spiritual essentia holds no contradiction with its model of reality. Further, Mira Mortis praises the idea, and compliments PTE as being a superior master. With this new knowledge, PTE develops the Repository of Quintessence, which absorbs the souls of the recently deceased, and extracts their essentia. Mira Mortis requests to sit on the repository, and claims that it can distil and profit from the essentia more than anyone else, from being in possession of a superior brain.

> Action 1, 2 & 3: After performing an intensive evaluation of the foundations of Thadmancer's Keep, PTE begrudgingly concludes that a catastrophic cave-in is likely to occur if the Black Obelisk continues operation. There's no problem with the obelisk itself mind you - the glorified dimensional shunt is performing its function flawlessly - the problem lies with the landscape of the library itself, having apparently not been designed to survive adjacency with the cosmic headspring of conceptual and literal atrophy. Muttering darkly about the library's architect and his standards of structural integrity, PTE decides that the most sensible option available to him is to attempt to deactivate the artifact. Unfortunately the necromancer hadn't had the foresight to include a designated shutdown process into his creation - leaving little choice but to rely on the suboptimal option of interrupting the mechanism manually, while it was violently channeling a reality-rending quantities of energy. Upon pushing the system out of equilibrium, he'd need to delicately adjust and modulate the loops of magical energy to avoid the myriad of disastrous complications while simultaneously diverting and deescalating the Obelisk's output by increments, all in order to safely orchestrate a (relatively) controlled closure (collapse) of the Entropic rift. Naturally, such an grueling errand will require PTE's total, undivided concentration, so he settles in for the long haul - to diffuse a metaphorical bomb of his own making.

MAJOR EVENT

Marxism is one of the greatest threats to a civilization. It is more dangerous than a fire and a flood.

“In its beginning it is easy to cure, but hard to recognize; whereas, after a time, not having been detected and treated at the first, it becomes easy to recognize but impossible to cure.” -Niccolò Machiavelli

The Communist Party develops in each civilization. The Spartans recognize the illness, and fight it will Socratic dialectics and intellectual enlightenment. The Talmudic materialism of Marxism is scorned, and the Communist Party disbands, in shame. The African Americans, learning from the Spartans, discover the pleasures of intellectual enlightenment, and likewise, disband their Communist Party. At the same time, they abandon their abusive usage of drugs, and abandon the practice of pimping and orgies.

In the undead civilizations, the Communist Party grows in size, until it is strong enough to overthrow the government. The zombies and legacies unite, and slaughter all the aristocrats, landowners and businessmen of old. They share the brains and intestines between themselves, and have great feasts; the communist utopia promised to them in the Marxist pamphlets seems established. The Communist Party shows symptoms of being more authoritarian than the previous regime.

>+musket
>Population: 90 humans, 18 goblins, 6 orcs


>>5262303
The African Americans explore the quarry and the canyon, looking for useful materials to harvest, but find nothing. They find great enjoyment in playing with the glyphs. They find that rubbing them is fun, and that drawing graffitis over them is even more fun. However, as intellectual enlightenment spreads within their community, they realize that drawing graffiti is no proper behavior, and they give up.

>Population: 54 zombies [crab], 14 African Americans [insectoid], 7 African Americans [breeder], 4 orcs

>>5262752
Despite the doctrine of Marxism enforcing atheism, the most pious of the Tauborns goes on a pilgrimage to the Emerald Temple. There, in this holy ground, he prays to the goddess Sol Magni. He knows little to nothing about proper prayers, but he lets his noble heart guide him. The goddess does not answer. When he returns, the Marxist militia arrests him for unlawful spread of feudal superstitions.
The insects claim for themselves Thadmancer's southern wall. They fortify it properly with crossbowmen and guards, and set silken traps that make climbing the wall impossible. This means the only way to get past the wall is through the gate, or by flying over it.
The Communist Party raids the throne room of the Hive Queen, but they are arrested by the African American counter-revolutionary militia. The African Americans disband the Communist party, and teach what they understood of intellectual enlightenment to the insects.

Oblivious to the revolution that is happening within his own dominion, the great PTE sacrifices himself to save the world. The floor in the area surrounding the obelisk has no grown so unstable that it is made of floating islands; at any moment, the black fortress could crumble. He decides to disable the obelisk manually; a process that is extremely dangerous, for an overload of entropy could kill even an undead. He works slowly, disabling the obelisk's output by increment, and succeeds in disabling it. Within minutes, the temperature and oxygen levels go back to normal.
PTE gathers his people in the courtyard to make a speech. The legacies yell obcenities at him. Formerly the revered mythical leader of the undead, he's now the number one enemy of the Communist Party. He notices that two golems are walking menacingly in his direction. Certainly, to arrest him. He quickly creates a rift gate, and escapes toward the unexplored easter region, past the portcullis, where five of his ash golems have been trapped for several years.

Jolly good show! We'll compete in those Olympics. That back scratcher is as good as ours.

As our tribe has foregone vandalism, orgies and illicit drugs, we start to see a brighter future, and our population is almost back to what it was 2 decades ago. Most of them don't share our black skin, and actually have giant, decomposing hammer-claws... But family is family.

We eagerly accept! We’ll be there.

As for our actions:

>Attempt to create a new breed, dubbed the Surrogate caste. The caste possesses a huge abdomen, with multiple wombs contained within. Unlike the egg-laying Silverfish, the surrogates give live birth and directly nourish young with their bodies. They can adjust their hormonal levels to regulate the womb-chambers, allowing them to raise batches of embryos from other species. Humans, first and foremost, and perhaps even livestock in the future, with minimal genetic crossover. The Surrogates are merely chambers to raise already fertilized eggs, and don’t contribute their own DNA.

>After the fall of the communist regime, the Paladin is released from prison. It’s been a hard few months for him, but it helps to build his backstory, at the very least. He’s a War Hero who was wrongfully imprisoned for his beliefs, during a time of upheaval. The Tauborn returns to the temple to continue praying. One attempt is not enough. Religion is a commitment. And so, he spends his time there, hoping that their prayers reach Sol Magni, and that the God is out there listening, even if She doesn’t respond. Repeat the same action as last turn, hopefully it becomes easier/more likely with consistency.

>Build a stone wall and gate setup around the Rift. The water will still be allowed to rush past in times of peace. However, a system will be installed where the holes can be plugged up to make a dam. This allows them to redirect the water and cause a flood that blasts through the gates, in order to clear them of ground-bound enemies who might assault them. Post a proper guard regiment around this new wall setup, with particular attention paid to the portal that things could emerge from.

>>5263665
It wouldn’t be much of an actual Civilization if the only sapient ones were the Necromancers, after all. If the Necromancers NPCs die, it’s not like you lose control of the civ, meaning that there’s still gotta be something intelligent to guide it at least.

An Enovy is sent to the Spartans, bearing a message.

“Our dear human allies. This year has been fruitful. We have been continuing to work on our bodies, in order to provide a method to increase the population of our AAA brethren. We would like to extend this to you as well, as it seems that the population of humans in the Library is dangerously low, and you’ve lost many good men in the battle for the wall.

What we ask for in return is to borrow the genius of Aristonymos. It seems like we have caused some sort of Architectural Catastrophe, and our brightest minds predict that the ramifications will become visible behind me as soon as I finish delivering this message, in a show of prime comedic timing.

If you accept, please dedicate an action next turn to having him drop by and assist us in the engineering of a proper aqueduct. And those surrogates will be sent over in turn. Assuming all goes well.”

I will help you as long as you dont send the "surrogates"
The tribe is trying to mantain its identity with the orcs and goblins.
Adding half bug hybrids would complicate the thing.

As for solutions, are you sure you want to weaponize the water so it blasts through your gate?
You could build a water wheel, not sure conected to what but its an option.
Maybe for a textile factory?... as mad as it sounds maybe a forge... If we had electricity it would be obvious.

>>5264587
Oh, of course. We'll hold back on the Surrogates and find some other way to pay you then. If you change your mind in the future, we'll send some anytime.

There are a few possible uses I was thinking of, none of which permanently remove the water itself, so a water wheel in the direction of the river flow is still a viable option. I'd like to secure the gate-flooder and something secret first, though, assuming the situation remains salvageable.
>>
>>5264595
A permanent removal would be to build an aqueduct in the wall of the floor below with an additional platform.
We will redirect the water back to the Deepwater dungeon.
Then we use the gunpowder to blast a hole bellow the portal so the water falls into the aqueduct.

MAJOR EVENT

Much of Marxist propaganda is dedicated to fighting counter-revolutionaries. The reason for this is that until the ancient regime has been exterminated, its remnants pose a threat to the Marxist regime. Hence, the Communist Party is dedicated to hunting down the mythical necromancers, and anyone who is loyal to them.

Phase 1 Marxism: Thadmancer is captured. The Marxists bring him before Mira Mortis, attached to a table. Zombie surgeons excise his skull, and extract his brain. Following the instructions of Mira Mortis, the necromancer's brain is attached and fused with Mira Mortis.

Phase 2 Marxism: In the Legacies civilization, the Marxist reign of terror and cultural revolution now begins. All elements of the old regime are thoroughly purged. Any hint of feudalism or necromancy is punished severely. Absurd laws and measures are taken, and the population begins to fear the Communist Party.

>Phase 2 Marxism: Take a - 1 RS morale and inefficiency penalty to all actions. Eliminating Marxism is now a difficult action. Lasts three turns until the next phase.

>>5263449
The African Americans set traps in the empty libraries and the canyon: snares that are strung across the corridors; nets that are hung from the bookshelves; poisoned graffiti of brains; pitfall traps that lead to the lower floor; and tripwires that make the bookshelves fall on intruders.
With the help of the Hyena Cabal, they redact Marxist pamphlets that encourage the Undead Communist Party to hunt down counter-revolutionaries, and easy to intercept letters that praise the necromancers, or describe the cult of the ancient gods. This triggers the Undead Communist Party to cancel military actions and begin the Reign of Terror.

>+traps
>Population: 75 zombies [crab], 17 African Americans [insectoid], 8 African Americans [breeder], 4 orcs

>>5263736
The Surrogate caste evolves from the foreign genetic material that has been absorbed by the Silverfish. The Surrogates are five meter tall and obese, and cannot move. They are held together inside one room, with the Hive Queen. The DNA of Zakka Shoelace is used to create a new generation of African Americans, with minimal genetic crossover. Due to the trauma of being born inside of an insectoid monstrosity, the African Americans born from a Surrogate are irreversibly traumatized, and cannot perform complex tasks.
The Tauborn hero returns to the Emerald Temple, but his prayers are still not answered.
>>
>>5264617

Random Event (Epic Fail): The Silverfish work with the crabmen to build a dam. The work is slow, but they are close to finishing it. One day, the dam explodes at several locations, and all of their hard work is destroyed. No civilians die in the incident; only workers. A gnoll Marxist terrorist, in possession of a small amount of gun powder, is arrested for the crime.

>100 workers perish in the explosions
>+229 surrogates
>Population: 1183 Silverfish [breeder], 590 Silverfish [eaver], 483 Silverfish [Tauborn], 229 Silverfish [surrogate], 192 gnolls, 98 crabmen, 91 African Americans [insane]

>>5263791
The Black Fortress is reinforced with sheets of metal, in the Spartan fashion, and with drains of blood. The sheets of metal are painted with Marxist symbols and the crude portrait of an undead hyena.
Necrotic plague cancelled by the African Americans.
Mira Mortis spends most of its efforts hunting down the counter-revolutionaries. When it has spare time, it raises more gorelings. After this action, Mira Mortis studies political science and, at least in public, abandons the feudal practice of necromancy.

MINOR EVENT

The goblin army, dressed in red, strong of 1,200 men, arrive to the undead's northern wall. They are led personally by the Secretary of the Goblin Communist Party, Klobkord the Wicked. Battle rages between them and the undead. They are unable to conquer the wall, and attempt to flee, but they are chased by zombies, wraiths and blood golems. Most of the goblins are caught, killed, devored, and turned into zombies.

If you want me to describe the Olympics, you will have to take an action for it, as did Fake Wux.

The humans attempt to learn medicine, but they find no useful knowledge. They create large amounts of gunpowder; enough for decades, perhaps. The gunpowder is stored in a dry room of the prison, and the security of the prison is heavily reinforced. The king orders Aristonymos to build more muskets, but Aristonymos ignores him. He takes a one year vacation in the insect dominion.

>+vast amount of gunpowder
>Population: 99 humans, 20 goblins, 7 orcs


>>5264279
PTE weaves an illusion to hide the portcullis. Without his laboratory, he's unable to do much. He retreats to the grotto. His days are spent meditating or conversing with sorcerer spirits from Hell. He knows that, if he were to return to civilization, he would be arrested, or worse.
Mira Mortis informs the Secretary of the Legacy Communist Party that without proper spiritual nourishment or entropy, the Legacies population cannot grow much further.

>Phase 2 Marxism
>Population: 804 Legacies

Man. Despite being enemies, I genuinely feel really fucking bad for PTE. He worked his ass off on the Obelisk (I mean, it was his fault, but still), which wasn't ENTIRELY self-serving, and then just comes back to an army of commies calling him a faggot. :(

Gonna spend a bit of time to write up my action. AAA, do you want these traumatised one-year-olds right now, or do you want us to hold on to them until we can try and work out a solution? Obviously, we've underestimated the effects that the environment has on a developing baby, as well as the experiences of a mother over a nine-month pregnancy. Sitting in a dark, damp room and feeding on woodchips and meat probably isn't the best for growing fetuses. We'll have to work on that... But hey, it works biologically!

Here's my proposed action 1 and 2:

Presumably with the help of Aristonymos, construct a series of gates and ducts to redirect the flow of water. Firstly, the dam will be formed, allowing the water to build up like we attempted last year. This allows it to be released from the front gate. However, our goal this time is to release the huge amount of water into the Blood Swamp, and wash all of the blood away, directly into the pit itself. Like a fish tank's filter chamber, the blood will be sent down into the dungeon, until it can emerge from the rift in the Dam. At that point, the front gate will be sealed, and the rear gate opened. This allows the water to return to its natural flow, washing the bloody water into the Abyss and destroying the Blood Swamp as well as access to the Gorelings. We shall return the Great Hall to its original state. The Blood Swamp brings our alliance no benefits, and is a constant hazard.

Any Objections to this plan, from my allies? If not, I'll write up my actual post and roll it.

Third action will probably be either:
-Sensory caste
-Prayer related
-Fixing the Surrogate process
-acid blood/shell plague.

>In a similar process, dissect an Orc to learn more about greenskin anatomy. Maybe we'll learn something about our morphology as well.

Communicate to Silverfish: As your loyal vassal, I must suggest that you should forget praying, there are no gods here but Mami Wata. Feel free to take use of our staff for a turn, if you like. Plague research could backfire. I think creating a Sensory caste or further improving your Surrogates is a better bet. As for our 91 insane children we birthed together, I would like to keep them on our side of the compound, so they feel more encouraged to walk upright, and eat crab boils instead of dusty tomes.

The tribe games were declared by the Spartans, a dried up patch of the blood swamp prepared for the participants.
The first to arrive were the African American, a few humans accompanied by crabmen with a glued on afro.
Next came the insect hive, Several warriors with many workers as attendants in their procession.
Some undead came, tho their origin was uncertain. The mindless horde appeared too emerged from the stagnant water.
The goblins also made an aberrance, but their cries for “Justice for the proletarian” got them kicked out until they behaved.
Who will Wux take action for? Roll 1d6
1-4 the goblins
5 – the scribes
6 - Moloch envoy


The Spartans were busy being the arbiters and organizers so they would not participate.

The three test that would be performed were:
Casting the most impressive magic spell (magic)
A race carrying a boulder though the swamp (melee)
And a capture the flag game (tech + ranged/2)

Every participant roll 1d100 and select the game you want to excel at.
I will add the roll plus a bonus from your level (average = +0, above average = + 15 , High = +30) and compare the rolls to determine the winner.
Additionally you can instead not try to win and attempt some other scheme.
This is not a turn, this is a free action and I will not be able to gain anything.

Do you want to take over from here Wux, or do I finish this?

The Mira Mortis would be mortified at what has transgressed, but see the ability for him to take advantage of the situation.

The Mira Mortis would claim that Marxism must be adapted for the undead people and that the role that imperialist tribals played into its development has harmed the people. He would take more direct control as the chancellor of undead using the staff of fell domion to force work for the good of the collective.

The gorelings who gained prominence from the revoultion as the red guard begin constructiong outposts containing blood pools to protect against any foreign imperialist.

The surrogates will be fed as closely as possible to the diet of what an actual human mother would be eating, of the culture that the baby is from.

PTE begins performing a ghastly ritual, sacrificing 9 of the servants arrayed before him along with his Scepter of Fell Command - reducing the vessels of his minions back down into corpse ash and cannibalizing the Legacies dwelling within. Drawing upon these raw materials and channeling magical energies seething with malice and vitriol, the Necromancer distorts his Scepter of Fell Command into a new form - an circlet of tarnished glass containing pulsating tangles of ethereal thread. The resulting artifact is a Wreath of Cognitive Arrogation, a tyrannical instrument which is specifically attuned to sentient creations of the user (specifically Legacies in this case). Passively, this mechanism constantly projects the user's consciousness into all valid targets, violently suppressing their native psyche and overwriting their autonomy, thereby reducing them into mere extensions of the user's will.

The games:

The games are a bit of a disaster.
the undead that turned up just wached, not doing anything at all.
The spartans ended up using them to hold banners and fill up space.

The magic competion goes without incident but nobody makes any impresive moves.
The goblins perform petty magic and the insects use their death magic to make a undead rot faster.
The african americans do some card tricks and are disqualified for that.

The capture the flag game turnes out to be a bust since the flags are very brittle and break before anyone can score a point.

Finaly, the race.
Its a close mach between the hobgoblins, who by force of will managed to win after breaking a few ligaments under the weight of the boulder,
and the insects, whos powerfull warrior cast sunk into the mud, making them earn second place.
The africans americans liked the rock so much they took it home instead of the finish line.

Podium:>>5263429
1- The Goblins, they take home a master crafted shield made out Sumaru's crotch
2- The Insects, they win a musket with 20 shots
3- The African Americans, they earn a wind-up back scratcher and a silk thong, despite doing nothing.

The goblins, having won the Olympic Games, take back home a shield crafted from Sumaru's crotch. A familiar voice resonates insides of the blood swamp.

“I shall not tolerate this blasphemous mockery of my divine flesh. This time, all of your mortals are going to perish!”

A ten meter tall, winged demon, with skin as black as night, materializes in the Great Hall. It flies over the Undead Fortress, toward the goblin territory. The is Hyu, the son of Shi, and Sumaru's elder brother. In mythological texts, Hyu is described as particularly sadistic, and enjoys killing living creatures from devilish traps.

The enlightened African American engineers develop enclosed cages from wood and scavenged metal. The cages can be lifted and moves with wooden poles.
The well-learned African American doctors drag undead corpses from the blood swamp, and bring them to their camp. The only tool in their possession is the back scratcher won at the Olympics, which they repurpose as a scalpel. They discover that undead flesh is extremely vulnerable to fire, light, holy water, salt, and decapitation. Further, The African American elder vaguely remembers from Hollywood movies that undead should be vulnerable to werewolves.
When ordered to dissect an orc, the doctors refuse, and declare that experimenting on one of their own is taboo.

Inspired by the USD in their possession, the humans develop the coin of bronze, with the effigy of their king sculpted on them. Soon, all humans want shekels. The most shrewd of them become merchants, buying goods for cheap, and selling them for high. From this process, most shekels end up in possession of the merchants, and they form a guild which has strong influence on society and politics. On the other hand, humans who are less shrewd work as wage slaves for the merchants, receiving a few shekels for goods that the merchants sell thrice higher. Some of the most influent merchants are rumored to worship a demonic entity named “Mammon”.

The Secretary of the Undead Communist Party, an unassuming zombie who is missing one arm, is the clear dictator of the undead nation. He has full control over the revolution, which follows the Marxist pamphets redacted by the Hyena Cabal and the Scribes. Mira Mortis had long dreamed of having this position, but instead has been enslaved by the party.
The Undead Communist Party use recycled iron sheets to build four reservoirs of blood pools. They set those reservoirs in each of the corners of the Great Hall, and protect them with bookshelf fortresses and armed troops.

>>5265160
Engineer Aristonymos prolongs his vacations in the insect territory, and collaborates with the insect intellectuals and philosophers to reconstruct the aqueduc. This time, all travellers are stopped and searched for illegal possession of gun powder. One Marxist terrorist is arrested, but there are no other incidents. The construction is finished, and the insect open the northern gate. Pure elemental water floods into the filthy blood swamp, washing the putrid blood toward the central pit. On the floor below, the water flows toward the Deepwater Dungeon, and back into the Rift Portal. When the insects close the northern gate, and open the rear gate, the bloodied water flows toward the abyss, where it disappears forever. The bats that had made the swamp their home migrate away.
Next, the insects revamp the nursery to be more supportive of the well-being of the younglings. A new generation of African Americans is born with the love and songs of the insects, and they grow up to be healthy. [Example of song: >>5266041]

He shall mind control his entire civilization, so that it can run as efficiently as in the past, under his full control. His sacrifices 9 of his loyal servants and incorporates their betrayed souls into a new artifact: the Wreath of Cognitive Arrogation. The wreath imprints his will onto his subjects, replacing their mind with a pseudo-mind, which works as a parasite and overwrites their autonomy. It is unknown if the Legacies enjoy or hate this operation, because their pseudo-mind expresses nothing but the orders of the necromancer. In the Ethereal Plane, it can be seen that tentacles emanate from the wreath and reach the core of all enthralled subjects.

The Mira Mortis would not let the common undead rule over him. With his great intellect he would begin his plan for total supremacy. He would meet with gorelings in secret and promise them the highest positions in the regime if they helped him gain power.

The Thadmancer, who was the biggest threat to Marxism, lives on! His Clone, the vile PathwayToEnlightenment, is just as bad. As they are the same person, he must be eliminated, do you not agree, Undead populace? Mira Mortis? Behold! Gaze upon what he has done. He is the ultimate Individualist, Capitalist swine, for he has completely subsumed his ENTIRE Civilization and is bending them to his will, defying the tenets of Marxism and pursuing his personal interest over that of the entire community- Blatantly! The ultimate Oligarch! Who knows what he can do to the other Undead civ (You)? Do it. Hunt him down for the sake of the regime.

The formula is new and I had made two mistakes on this chart. First, the human multiplier is 0.1, not 0.2. Second, the Silverfish [surrogate] do not reproduce because they are poomping out African Americans.

>>5266958
Ah, yeah I figured they wouldn't be increasing their numbers at the same time. BTW, what are the undead reproducing from?
>>
We have the most USD, I'm pretty sure that means we're winning!
>>
>>5266960
Thadmancer's zombies were told in Turn 16 that they need to go to war to increase their numbers. They increase their numbers from the corpses of the goblin horde to the north, and abstracted skirmishes with them.
The Legacies were warned in Turn 19 that they ran out of food. This is why their growth is stunted.
Zombie crabs are few in number, so they can reproduce from natural deaths.

>>5266962
The Spartans have developed their own coins, so your supremacy is threatened.

>>5266968
Ah, I see. Sounds about right. Are Goblin Zombies at Abysmal melee too, like the gobs they came from?

>>5266973
No. I take undead stats for all forms of undead and they are lumped together in the "humanoid" group. You can say, they benefit from undead traits and from being a mindless horde. This removes their natural cowardice.
>>
>>5266712
I'd like to note that the Mira Mortis highly respects PathwayToEnlightment as he was more competent then Thadamncer, doesn't belive in the tenets of Marxism as a he practices necromancy, and the strongest mind in his collective is Thadamancer the clone of PathwayToEnlightment.

Also QM are my undead literate? I was going to develop a system of writing next turn, but if they can read pamphlets that won't be needed.
>>
>>5266993
Aye, I saw that part earlier. The main point is to rile up the entirety of the civilization and force their new leader into acting on it, in order to maintain his new standing. Wouldn’t do for a coward or traitor to the ideology to come into power.

What are the Mira Mortis's stats like? I know he is above avearge intelligence and has great necromantic power that rivals sorcerers. Is he as competent at necromancy at as Thadmancer, since Thadmancer is now part of him. Does he have access to the same spells?

I have not statted out individual NPC's. Mira Mortis casts spells with the Magic stat of your civs. And yes, has access to Thadmancer's spells.

> Action 1, 2, & 3: PTE acts through his possessed servants embedded within the Marxist movement, endeavoring to emulate their current behaviors and mannerisms as authentically as possible so as to avoid others discovering his subversion of them. The opportunistic sorcerer initiates a most cunning ploy, PTE would covertly influence of the Marxist movement, reforming the ideology via various forms of information warfare. Adopting the roles of his thralls and acting through them, he injected new narratives to the Marxists ideology - all coached in high-minded ideals and flowery language. Concurrently he would take full advantage of his numerous puppets to bolster this effort, using some to consensus crack - making his assertions appear more popular by having numerous Legacies place their support behind them - and others as a controlled opposition - their intentionally stupid and radical positions delegitimizing other genuine opposition by association. The core of PTE's narrative is this: "The root of all Disparity is Life, and the from Disparity springs forth Want, Conflict, Suffering, and Misery. By raising all beyond the mortal coil we can realize the ultimate communistic ideal, a pure and eternal utopia wherein all may devote themselves to higher pursuits, fully untethered from their baser desires and instincts. However, the mortals in this realm will vehemently, and inevitably even violently, oppose this necessary metamorphosis, selfishly perpetuating a destructive cycle of anguish and despair that has ensnared cognizance since time immemorial - LIFE ITSELF! Look at how they reject the benevolent revelations we offer them, how they deride and debase us as monsters, how they scheme to corral and control our glorious revolution, how their agents work to undermine and decimate the full potential of our cause! Comrades, let us unite and together we shall tear down the rancid husk of life and erect a new world-order in its place, one free of tyranny, injustice, and oppression!"

His body is made of molten iron, and his hands and feet are made of scalding hot rocks. He is dressed in a ceremonial robe, and has a dark face. This is the worst fear of the Spartans materialized. Ji's hateful growl is heard by everyone in the Great Library. This is a really bad event. It is advised you spend all your actions to deal with it.

By following the migratory path of the bats to the southeast, the African American explorers arrive in a lush and overgrown area, with many water sources and an abundance of food. This swampy area is home to many species of toads, frogs, insects, and other small animals. Another colony of bats flies into a small dungeon which was hidden in the canyon. The entrance to the dungeon is a long, narrow hall, with a low ceiling, and lit with torches. A small stream runs through it.
High Priestess Mami Rihanni-Tyqueria prays La Sirene Mami Wata to grant her salt magic, but obtains nothing.

Mira Mortis, who had been slowly climbing the ranks of the Politburo, manages to assassinate the Secretary of the Undead Communist Party with an overflow of entropic energy, which makes him explode. The gorelings enter the Black Fortress, and immediately arrest the rest of the Politburo. Mira Mortis establishes itself as the new Secretary.

Past the Emerald Temple and the Tribunal, the Silverfish arrive in a fantastic factory. The factory is a large chamber, with a single tunnel leading through the far wall. It is filled with a variety of devices, including a large cogwheel and an array of colored lights. There is a small, circular dais in the center of the room, surrounded by a pool of black water. On the dais is a large emerald, which glows a bright green in the light.

>>5267092
PathwayToEnlightenment develops a new variant of Marxism, which blames life itself for all form of tyranny. The logical conclusion would be a quest for spirituality, however, this would contradict the Talmudic materialism of Marxism. Hence, PathwayToEnlightenment finds a materialist solution, and argues that undeath is the only solution to the problem of death.
The Spartans, African Americans, and Silverfish, who believe in intellectual enlightenment, are immune to this Marxist propaganda, and in fact have eliminated Marxism entirely from their nation. However, the propaganda works incredibly well with the goblins, who are naturally stupid, and have been brainwashed by several years of Marxism. This leads to a wave of suicide in the greenskin society.

Somewhere deep in the Mira Mortis a sense of satisfaction grows as the tribals begin to suffer. Clearly the time of barbarity is over.

Hearing the increasing devastation of the goblins he would realize the time to grow his undead horde was now. He would send plagued undead goblins to the north to spread his great necromantic disease.

With support by gorelings archers at the outposts within the great hall the Mira Mortis would personally lead a crusade against the silverfish in the great. Using his staff of fell domion he would overide the uncertainty of the insectoid zombies and give them the clear minds they need to crush their enemies like bugs.

1 Action: Spread the necromantic plague to the northern goblins tribes.

2 and 3 action: Crush the silverfish in my territory and sieze the tau greatsword using 500 insectoid zombies command by the staff of fell domion and lead by the Mira Mortis with support from the outposts' archers.

The Spartan musketeers and archers circle Ji, and fire at him continuously, so as to stun him. Silverfish troops arrive from the east as reinforcement. At the same time, a glowing magical circle appears under Ji, and the energy spreads to his fists and eyes. The giant clenches his fists, and his eyes turn red. The magic seems to enrage him. The Tau paladins search for the source of the magic. They raise their holy blades, and charge in. Their weapons glow with sun light, and they slash off the limbs of invisible creatures. The corpses of six golems, lying on the floor, materialize. The magic circle pulsates slowly and then disappears. Suddenly, a goblin charges in from the other direction, screaming madly, and explodes at Ji's feet. The demon's knee caps break down, and he crumbles to the ground. The actions have been fast and chaotic, and he's confused.

”Argh! Hyu, where are you! Come help me, immediately!”

An African American envoy, who had followed the Silverfish, speaks.

“Ji! Don't call for Hyu! You must leave this place at once! I command you to exterminate the goblin horde!”

In response, Ji roars.


>>5267448
An African American expedition team is sent to the dungeon. The deeper they get, the more horrific it gets. The stench of rot and putrefaction permeates the air; the walls are dripping with gore, and there are skeletons hanging from the ceiling. They fight off zombies and devils, and arrive to the last room. There, they find a bearded devil who is in the middle of a ritual and about to sacrifice a young, humanoid girl.
In the swamp, they build up a a fortified village. The houses are made from bookshelves, with wooden bridges running between them, and decorated with shruken heads.

The Silverfish develop their long-awaited Overseer caste. The overseer have extremely developed sense and, they hope, can detect the unseen. Compared to an average Silverfish, the overseer are very haughty.
In the west, the Silverfish move the giant emerald back to the Emerald Temple. Immediately, the factory stops. Inside the temple, a creature of light appears. She introduce herself as the Judge. She is a servant of Constantia, the goddess of Order, and enforces common laws in the Great Library. She can only appear in the material plane when the emerald is in the temple.

Mira Mortis sends insectoid zombies to infect the goblin camps with the necrotic plague. The illness spreads, and contaminates many goblins. At the same time, they are fighting off the demon Hyu. Amidst the confusion, the goblins who perished from the plague raise as zombies, who are controlled by Mira Mortis.
Mira Mortis becomes aware of insectoid intruders in the Great Hall. They are riding from the southern gate toward the western gate. It dispatches an army of 500 insectoid zombies to intercept them, but they are too slow. Note: the western wall has been conquered by the Spartans, and the Southern wall has been conquered by the insects.

Actions 1 and 2 (Damn, really long one with tons of explanation):

>The Tau paladin returns to the temple after the slaying of the Golems. Along with his disciples, he kneels before the Emerald Altar, singing the praises of Constantia and the Judge. The Gnolls are here as well, to put his prayer into the form of a righteous appeal. He beseeches that she grant the Silverfish whatever blessings they're willing to give. The living races have been attempting to support one another like kin, throughout these two decades in the library. The handful of surviving AAA, who once assaulted the humans, were taken in by the bugs and protected. The very same humans aided them in reaching intellectual enlightenment, and the three have been sharing their knowledge peacefully. The goblins... Eh, whatever.
>But since the dawn of civilization, the Undead have been threatening their peace and Order. They create dangerous devices that threaten the Library itself, like the Obelisk. They trap souls and torture them eternally in crystals. They burn down nests, lead attacks, and work alongside the Metal Demons. The Paladin seeks a boon upon the people of the Library, to aid them in battling the scourge and resisting them. The Silverfish have no magic to counteract their hideous spells, and they only grow in strength when killing and profaning souls.
>His request is for the Gods to take the souls of all the living into the Afterlife upon their death, to deny the Undead the continued desecration of their souls, and the cessation of their dominion over it.
>Hopefully, with the most pious of the Silverfish and the silver-tongued Gnolls working together, she can convinced to grant them aid against the undead menace.
>The request with her has to either be granted/denied, and the audience will reach an end anyway. So just take off the big gem once it's done and bring it back.


Action 3:
>>5264665

>Work on Acid Blood yet again, to ensure that bodies dissolve upon death and cannot be raised by the undead. This time, we seek to borrow the Staff of Gaia, if your AAA buds agree. The staff is of nature, and within nature's many wondrous creatures, there ought to be the key to developing the right biochemical cocktail. The spawn who emerge from this process will be quarantined and tested to ensure that they bear the desired results. A safety measure is in place, where if these Silverfish have half-assed acids, they'll be sterilised, to prevent damage from being done to the gene pool.

>The zombies are much more competent and coordinated than normal, and fight with the same rigor as Spartan phalanxes. They quickly defeat the humans, and reclaim their wall.
>The undead, feeling empowered from winning the first battle, are now trying to push past the Spartan wall. This endeavor is foolish, for even Shi's son, the Sumaru, with all his divine might, could not break this wall. The Greek fortress is simply impregnable. At the same time, the Spartan forces cannot quite defeat the more numerous undead. With the battle stuck in a draw, Thadmancer is in a state of vulnerability. He flees back to his own fortress, leaving his zombies behind. Without the magic of the Staff of Fell Dominion, the zombies break their ranks, and are decimated by the humans. A hundred of them die, before the rest of the horde flees.
>When the insect knights arrive, the battle has already ended. But they did not travel in vain. The Spartans open their gates to them, and they reinforce the wall with their army.

Once in position, the necromancer once more begins weaving arcane marvels using his puppets hands, inscribing a sprawling confluence of Glyphs across the section of floor the Keep is built upon. The intended function of this rather experimental runic composition is to permanently lock the inanimate structures of the keep and it's immediate foundation into their current positions in space-time, keeping it (hopefully) intact and suspended in place in the event that the rest of the floor collapses.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

There's an explosion outside of the undead Black Fortress. Mira Mortis' meditation is disturbed, and it dispatched blood golems to investigate the situation. When they open the gates, the golems are immediately killed by African American ninjas. There was, in fact, no explosion, and the noise was merely the sound of firecrackers. The ninja stealthily enter the fortress, create more explosions, and leave behind a trail of coins, blood, USD, amutilated corpses, and pamphlets. Then, they retreat back to the Silverfish dominion. The undead are confused, and spend hours to investigate the events.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

This time, there's a real explosion. The entire floor of the Great Hall crumbles, destroying the Black Keep, destroying the walls, crushing all the undead under boulders. The great Marxist leader, Mira Mortis, is defeated. Only one tower of the keep survived the destruction, propelled in the air by the powerful magic of the lich lord PathwayToEnlightenment. This is not the end of the undead civilizations, however. First, the Legacies, not having any physical form, are not harmed. Second, a large part of the undead horde was located in goblin territory.

>>5268746
Hyu, the flying demon, arrives in the human city. It lands on the floor, next to the wounded Ji, and opens its monstrous, razor-sharp wings. It spins around, and charges in the direction of the humans. Heads, limbs, and organs fly everywhere. Hyu opens his mouth wide open, and swallows an entire body. The sound of bones breaking can be heard by the terrified humans who were not killed in the attack.

"All you humans, I will destroy you another day. You are the source of all the world's troubles.”

Hyu grabs Ji in one of his wings, and both the demons vanish.

>48% of your population is killed from Hyu's attack

The Judge answers the noble Tau paladin.

“Our Goddess does not meddle with the daily affairs of the mortals. However, I, the Judge, shall pass judgment on those who have violated the sanctity of the soul.”

The same astral chains which had arrested the African American pimps wrap around the wrists and ankles of PathwayToEnlightenment, and drag him to the Tribunal.

“Please, follow me.”

PathwayToEnlightenment is seated on the bench of the accused, guarded by death knights. The Judge sits on a podium in front of the courtroom, and informs him of the case against him >>5268788.

“The accused may now speak.”

The Silverfish attempt to develop acid blood, but it still does not work. This evolutionary path is considered impossible for the insects.

To our Spartan allies, consider the Surrogates at your disposal as an open offer. We're still pumping out beautiful AAA babies for now, but since the demon just rampaged through your city, you have priority if you require it. We'll swap over.

Jesus. Accidentally left it on auto.

>>5271362
We'd like to use the staff this turn, please! With it and the Ninjas, we can strike a crippling blow.

Action 1:
>Evolve a flight caste. Preferably with the Staff of Gaia assisting, to naturally guide the patterns of a wing, the muscular structure needed, and the sculpting of elytra. These Fliers will be our swift aerial scouts and skirmishers, bringing the power of flight to the library for the first time. Their focus will be on flight stability and speed.

Action 2 and 3:
>While PTE is away, and unable to act, send a team of weavers and breeders to the remaining tower that's now suspended in the air. Using their silk, which is "as strong and flexible as the silk of spiders from our Earth, but produced in much larger quantities" (Turn 9), they'll form bridges and grappling ropes to make their way into the hideout. If the Flight caste is available, this step becomes unnecessary, and if the AAA are in agreement, ninjas will also be there for the stealth operation. The mission objectives are as follows:
>>5261549
>>5262068
>The infiltrators will be searching the keep for these Soulstones, or the staves that use them, to find direct evidence of the Necromancer's crimes against the living. A single tower of a keep will hopefully not have that many guards, as "a large part of the undead horde was located in goblin territory." (Turn 23) and their leadership is fragmented at the moment. Hopefully they'll be able to steal one of those pieces and present it in court. In fact, this whole thing may not even be necessary if PTE was arrested while in possession of his Stave of Potence, which feels decently likely since he was grabbed in the middle of his day.

(I don't know if I need to roll for this. Let me know.)
>Use of Souls
As you are most assuredly aware, no dedicated afterlife exists within the confines of the Great Library nor are there any officially ordained mechanisms to process souls or transfer them to other planes, instead the souls of the dead are left to aimlessly drift throughout the boundless expanse of bookshelves and corridors. Based off of this observation, it is entirely reasonable to infer that the master and architect of these legendary archives, Lord Shi himself, designed these circumstances deliberately. Wayward souls serve both as incredible fonts of knowledge and arcane power, as such it is evident that they are resources made available for scholarly use - much the same as the innumerable tomes and potent magical trinkets scattered throughout the Library.

>The Obelisk
A simple research project, nothing more. Further, when it became evident that its operation posed a threat to the structural integrity of the Library… ~I immediately deactivated it~. At no small risk to my own wellbeing might I add.
>>
>>5271565
>>5271369

>The Mortals and ‘Metal Demons’
Indeed-indeed, quite a provocative tale and we’ll return to it in time.
But speaking of the mortals, I must say that I find it surprising that this noble court dared to hear such a sensitive case to begin with. It is not very often that one can meet a judiciary so dutiful and dedicated to the administration of justice that they are willing to gravely imperil not only themselves but the entire system they preserve. In fact, the boldness of Mistress Constantia to accept creatures which have not only been marked as blasphemers deserving of annihilation by Lord Shi himself but have murdered one of his children and maimed two others – these ‘metal-demons’ that I was accused of assisting if I’m not mistaken – as clients would frankly be unbelievable, were it not for the fact that I am assured that one as empowered as yourself would not have acted without *explicit* approval. Indeed, if a word – or even the edge of word - were to get out that the esteemed ranks of Constantia’s adjudicators were arbitrating against one of the few independent forces working to keep the surging tide of life from spilling out into the wider library and rebelling against its master - well, less composed individuals might misread the situation as a deliberate ploy to undermine Lord Shi’s influence, perhaps even to the effect of initiating a coup for ownership over the plane itself. Further the ramifications for such an unfortunate misinterpretation would not only land both you and your mistress in a sucking mire of divine politics, but would direly destabilize the masterfully curated order of this enlightened realm. Again, *truly inspiring*, your conviction.

Back to the mortals however: as mentioned earlier the undead presence within the Library have been integral in retarding their expansion and development. While I initially held no ill will towards the various mortal races inhabiting the surrounding alcoves of the archives, being but a simple student of the arcane arts, their incorrigible penchant for reckless destruction, disrespect, and mayhem forced me to take a more active role in their ‘moderation’. When they sparked an inferno, we rallied to action but tragically failed to redirect the flames via controlled burns. When they struck down a child of Lord Shi, we tried to recover a fragment of its tortured remains so that a resurrection might be attempted, yet our pacifism spurned. When they moved to fell another of Shi’s offspring, our dwindling forces sacrificed themselves to ward it from harm. In the culmination of the conflict, the mortals purposefully collapsed an entire section of the library, inciting mass chaos and destruction in the process. As has been made abundantly apparent from the countless incidents over the past years, introducing living components to any system, especially one as gilded and precise as Shi’s Grand Library, does naught but invite chaos and dysfunction.

Ahem Ahem.

Is this thing on?

*WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

Whoops. Ahem…

We are a straightforward people who say what we mean. And we find it very interesting that your go-to defense is to threaten a representative of a God. We shan’t dance around the phrasing there. Did the stenographer get that? Good. Let the record show that PathWayToEnlightenment is attempting to blackmail the judge.

We shall not delve into detail on the topic of Soulstones. However, those who have survived encounters with the Undead have all reported hearing the tortured souls of the dead ((Turn 9- the hateful, maddening voice of the dead)) around users of this necromancy. We will defer to Your Honor on the matter of whether this violates the sanctity of the soul, and are seeking to present one of these objects for inspection.

The court has stated that the daily affairs of Mortals are not in question here, but we shall defend ourselves of these charges.

Firstly, the issue of the flames. Many years ago, the fire of the Great Hall was indeed started by a portion of our AAA neighbors and allies. However, the culprits have perished in the blaze, and the people who remain are a population who pursue intellectual pursuits, and have grown past the indiscretion of our forefathers. We are proud to call them friends. They are no longer the same group who set fire to the library. Those have been punished for their crimes, and have died an agonizing death in smoke and flames.

Our own role, however, was to safeguard as large a portion of the Great Hall as possible, using the fire-resistant fluids we produce. While the inferno was a threat to mortal lives, our goal was to protect something loftier: The Books. If we had succeeded, this knowledge, written and granted to us by the Immortal Gods, would have been preserved for future generations, whether they be us, the humans, or even the Undead, were they to conquer us. However, the envy of the unliving caused them to spread the blaze to our quarter of the library. This fit of jealousy, no doubt intended to selfishly ensure that we suffered just as much as everyone else, destroyed a final bastion of knowledge, which is now lost forever. We present our findings from before, recorded meticulously in the annals of the silverfish… ((Turn 6)) to refute the claim that they attempted to organize a controlled burn WITHIN our territory, for supposedly benevolent reasons. The actions of the Undead prevented us from protecting these tomes.

As for the charge of slaying The Sumaru, our human allies were merely preserving their own lives. Numerous times, they have been attacked by this being. Numerous times, the mortal races have collectively told them to leave us be. We have never pursued them, yet they return over and over to attack our walls. What else can one do in this case, but defend themselves? Are we to sit down and die because our aggressor demands it? No. It was their insistence on violence that led to their demise.
1/2
>>
>When they struck down a child of Lord [redacted]i, we tried to recover a fragment of its tortured remains so that a resurrection might be attempted, yet our pacifism spurned.

And finally… let the record state that the Undead have confessed before a Judge and Jury that they intended to resurrect this being through necromantic means. It is common knowledge that their magic does not return the dead to life. It creates undead and reanimated them. The accused has confessed to a conspiracy to manipulate the soul of a demigod, and do with it what they do with other souls. While we will not say the Great God’s name in vain, for He has stated his displeasure, we believe this to be highly telling of the Lich’s intentions, and is worthy of consideration.

>>5271565

1-Use of Souls
According to the laws of Spain, Royal decree from 1889 (yes it’s still valid, it has been edited at least 30 times. https://www.boe.es/eli/es/rd/1889/07/24/(1)/con )
>Article 368: “When the current of a river, stream or torrent segregates a known portion of land from an inheritance on its shore and transports it to another inheritance, the owner of the estate to which the segregated part belonged retains ownership of it.
If people own their souls and we analog a natural thing like the river to death, then you would be stealing souls and torturing people. Even if they end up in your metaphorical backyard.

If they are less sapient or they don’t own themselves
>Article 369: “The trees uprooted and transported by the current of the waters belong to the owner of the land where they are going to stop, if the former owners do not claim them within a month. If they claim them, they must pay the expenses incurred in collecting them or putting them in a safe place.”

If we analog trees to souls and the river to death then they would fall under the jurisdiction of a god of death. Since no way out was made, Thyp'ptyklpt will be charged with neglect. As for you, the god of death can reclaim the souls.
Maybe yours too since you are also dead, not sure on this. I would not press the subsect.

2-The obelisk
You have a good defense.
Most likely is that you are banned from opening portals to other “pure” dimensions ever again.

3- The mortals and “metal demons”
Ad baculum, don’t threaten the court, even if you have a point.
Also, no one has formally declared war to anyone, so it’s a breach in protocol.
All those skirmishes must be deemed illegal, the court has no autority to enforce punishment on these but they will not be allowed as proof.

>“When they sparked an inferno, we rallied to action but tragically failed to redirect the flames via controlled burns.”
If they don’t have truth magic this might work, good job. If they have, you are fucked.
since this will be arson and not a conflict it can be judge.

>“yet our pacifism spurned”
This is a blatant lie since you have stated that you are supporting the god Shi assault ("to ward it from harm").
Selling weapons is not pacifism just because you don’t fire them.

>”In the culmination of the conflict, the mortals purposefully collapsed an entire section of the library, inciting mass chaos and destruction”
Thyp'ptyklpt will be allowed to press charges against the Spartans.
But it’s not relevant to you.

>”introducing living components to any system…[]… does naught but invite chaos and dysfunction”
That is another thing entirely, you will need to file your complain with Thyp'ptyklpt or take it to the court in another ocasion.

AD NAUSEAM. It’s not illegal to present yourself as a victim, but it’s a double edge weapon. Be careful.
>>
4- On the murder of Sumaru
This is complicated since I’m not sure if he is dead since he spoke here >>5266129
But more importantly, it’s not relevant to this trial. The possible outcomes.
a- The Spartans get put on trial for the murdering of a divine creature.
b- The god Shi is put on trial for child abuse, since he is tossing them into a “meat grinder”
c- Its ignored, depends on treaties of gods and mortals. I don’t know those.

>>5271996

1º "However, the culprits have perished in the blaze," good for mentioning this. Saves paperwork.
2º " the envy of the unliving caused them to spread the blaze to our quarter of the library."
Main problem. They claim "we rallied to action but tragically failed to redirect the flames via controlled burns."
The court will need to make an investigation in case it was not on purpose.

>>5272000
Believe it or not, Spain has no laws on resurrection so I have no comment.
Maybe in recycling, not sure.
Wux, do tell if you need me to dig around for a specific set of laws.

Might as well jab at each of the peanut gallery's remarks while we wait.

>>5271996
> Sanctity of the soul
You're attempting to make moralistic appeals regarding the life and existence to an avatar of principle order. Specifically, the Order of this demiplane, Shi's Great Library. An infinite realm tailor-made to facilitate practically every form academic research and experimentation conceivable.
How likely do you believe it is that substantial legislature exists to restrain pursuits pivotal to this plane's function in favor of soft philosophies of 'mortal rights and ethics'?

> PTE's faction acted with the desire to destroy a bastion of knowledge
This is mere hearsay without definitive evidence of intent.

> Self defense
The mortal races were specifically marked for removal by the administrator and creator of this realm, Thyp'ptyklpt - the supreme authority within the Great Library to which this court is held subordinate to.
Your argument amounts to a nonsensical plea of self-defense against an agent of the law trying to apprehend you.

>>5272000
> Via necromantic means
A fallacious assumption which is unsupported by the testimony provided.
Capability in one school of magic does not preclude capability in another.
Reanimation is not to be conflated with True Resurrection, you philistine.

>>5272047
I will point out that an inert soulstone is considerably less disorderly than any form of life capable of producing it.
Further, your continued grandstanding about the value of life and liberty is growing tiresome.

> No one declared war on anyone
> > “The Sumaru will destroy everything on its path, and punish all of you, foolish mortals! You are weak, and *you were born to die a pathetic death!”
As I have pointed out repeatedly - the master of this demiplane directly and unambiguously marked you mortals for death. Though you might in fact have a point, war is perhaps an unsuitable descriptor for this scenario. Pest control might be more fitting.

> Pacifism
You are extrapolating a single word beyond its context.
Also, 'donating technology to the beleaguered' and 'employing non-violent measures to protect others' are definitionally nonconfrontational and nonviolent actions.

The humans repair the minor damages they suffered from the explosion, and build a tunnel through the boulders that reaches the insect territory. The tunnel is roughly one kilometer long. It's paved with smooth marble and lit with torches, offering great comfort to all travellers. On the human side, the entrance of the tunnel is protected by a heavy iron portcullis.
The humans create laws and a kindergarten to educate children and integrate them into the meritocracy. In the style of Ancient Sparta, idiotic and weak children are thrown off the wall, whereas intelligent and strong children are well nurtured.

You have been brought before the Judge. See text below.

The weaver caste of the Silverfish grows delicate, translucent wings. This means the weavers are no longer a worker caste, but also cumulate the functions of explorers or even ninjas. As part of this new function, a small group of weavers flies toward the floating undead tower, and successfully steal research notes about the soulstones, which they bring to the Tribunal.

>+flying abilities
>Population: 5752 breeders, 2559 overseers, 2318 weavers, 2596 Tau, 1233 surrogate, 502 African Americans, 309 gnolls, 159 crabmen


>>5272191
The Judge knocks her gavel.

“We shall now announce our verdict regarding the charges against the necromancer PathwayToEnlightenment. First, the charges of burning up nests are dropped, for this court does not treat such minor case. Second, the charges of helping the demons are dropped, for this is a most lawful action. Third, on the charge of tearing up the multiverse with the black obelisk, the defendant is declared innocent, for he has mended the damage in good will. Fourth, on the charge of violating the sanctity of Scribe souls, the defendant is declared guilty. He shall serve a sentence of one year in prison per soul, and a cumulated sentence of seventeen years in prison.”

The Judge knocks her gavel again, and the necromancer is dragged to prison by the death knights.
>>
>>5272782

“Now, we shall judge the crimes of the humans and the Africans Americans, which this case has brought to our attention.”

Ethereal threads bring the leaders of the African Americans and the humans to the court. When no one is looking, the African American hides in the shadows, and steals a pen from the Judge's desk.

African Americans may defend themselves against the accusations of the snitch >>5272331. Humans may defend themselves against the accusations of PTE, namely, the murder of Sumaru >>5271996.

Meanwhile, the goblin zombies, whose existence was forgotten by their master, get slaughtered by the goblins. Their corpses are burned by the fire shamans, so that they cannot be raised anymore.

>PTE is imprisoned for 17 turns
>-4927 zombies
>Population: 1115 Legacies, 0 zombies


>>5272349
A small group of African Americans are dropped on goblin territory by the insects. They find the goblins fighting the undead. Stealthily moving between nests, they kill a few goblins with their advanced weapons, and then retreat immediately, before the goblins can counter-attack. Unfortunately, the goblins are so numerous and breed so fast, that for each goblin that is killed, three more are born.

See text above for the court room actions.

>+The Judge's Pen: This pen can be used to redact contracts between parties or entire civilizations, which result in immediate and permanent death of the indebted when they cannot fulfill the terms of the contract.

Time to go through our ancient records and find mention of the six AAA refugees who came to us all those years ago(Turn 5). No AAA in existence has anything to personally do with the fire, and there's no longer anyone to punish, regardless of the current allegations. Those six have their alibi, as they were seeking asylum while whoever was spreading fires did it. This ought to completely absolve them of the charges. Among their population, hardly anyone was even BORN during the era.

The undead horde seeing their southern brethen being decimated by the imperialist mortals would make attempt to make peace with their fellow Marxists. They would send an envoy bringing gifts of crystals and steel to the northern goblins tribes.

Undead goblins would be sent to covertly spread the necromantic plague among the goblin tribes.

>Action 1: Hey... We did pretty good on crossbows, and made it in one attempt. Now what if... What if crossbow but BIG? Attempt to engineer ballistae, as a weapon of war. Those 50,000 Goblins are a danger. The sooner we can get these set up along our border walls, and those of our allies, the safer we'll be against attacks.

>Actions 2 and 3: Send a proper war party against the Undead and harry the construction of the new fortress, to secure the steel supply lines and prevent them from cutting it off from the humans. 500 Tauborn, 600 Weavers as trap-setters and flying marksmen, 1200 breeders, 500 overseers, and 25 crabmen as token representation. Swoop in on the workers, kill them while they're working throughout the year and waste their manpower.
>If we have Ballistae at this point, we can blast the building with it. And when the tower is near completion, but not perfected yet, send the army to conquer it. We have the massive benefit of flight, allowing us to drop off infiltrators, sappers, juggernauts, all sorts of things into their midst.
>The earlier flight stability of the flying class was specifically meant for them to be mid-air snipers and marksman who use crossbows and rifles, allowing them to soar above the reach of any ranged weapons the zombies can scrounge up. They can also easily cover the walls with climbing ropes that ground troops can use.
>Breeders are shock troops, Tauborn are armoured juggernauts lead by our paladin (Requesting a name for him btw), overseers are anti-magic specialists who seek out hidden mages and assassinate them. As with the stone wall, maybe the undead will learn their lesson about trying to build structures literally right by the doorstep of their enemies.
>>
>>5272857
While initiative applies to action order for immediate effects, it probably gets a bit shuffled if it's a long undertaking, right? Building a fortress takes a while, so hopefully since they're doing it in plain view of the humans, there's plenty of time over a year to send troops before it's even complete.

Sumaru had tried to destroy us and our first trap only worked to buy us time.
It was a simple pit to redirect his attention to other things.
It failed.
When he came for us a second time we tried to hurt him bad enough that he would stop.
He died instantly to falling rocks.
We didn’t really expect that to work.

A few years ago his brothers came for revenge.
This time we did calibrate our machinations so they would incapacitate.
Then Ji was allowed to leave>>5269560
It resulted in half our population dying for that act of mercy.

We believe the god Shi is sending his un favored sons to us so we dispose of them.
Or at least punch them hard,
Otherwise we are utterly confused on why he would send his children to this dangerous place.
We are also unsure how "dead" Sumaru is, since he claim to be a god.
We dont belive it.

If the court finds me guilty of involuntary manslaughter with extenuating circumstances i will accept the ruling.
I trust the god of justice to find the correct verdict.

Also, we are planning on pursuing Hyu for the account of 50 charges of first degree murder.
The sentencing will probably be 40 years prison with community service under high security, with chance of parole.
Do you find this appropriate?

The goblins finish exterminating the undead that remain on their territory. The undead attempt to appeal to their shared culture of Marxism to establish a truce, but the goblins are too wary of the undead because they have been spreading a dangerous plague which almost wiped off their entire population. The undead are all decapitated, and their remains are meticulously burned.

>-3975 zombies
>Remaining population: 100 Silverfish zombies and 20 gorelings in the floating tower

>>5272857
The Silverfish scientists develop the ballista, an extremely brutal weapon of mass destruction. Afterward, they send an army to punish the undead, led by Paladin Brrzktktk'zzt. When they arrive to the southern edge of the goblin territory, they find that the undead army is no more, and only their ashes prove that they once existed.

>>5272929
The Judge releases the representative of the African Americans, based on the legal documents they have provided. While being judged, a ninja steals over one hundred legal documents from previous cases. Moreover, they find a contract between the gods Shi and Thyp'ptyklpt, in which Thyp'ptyklpt was granted ren to construct the Great Library.
High Priestess Mami Rihanni-Tyqueria communes with Mami Wata, and learns to produce holy water from the goddess' blessing.
A Player's Ball, the traditional gathering of pimps, is held in the African American swamp village. They are playing drums wildly, dancing and shaking their bodies in a savage and violent manner. A group of ten goblins travels secretly through the human tunnel and attend the event. They bring a message from Klobkord the Wicked, and the chopped head of a goblin zombie as present.
We'ze be best friendz foreva wif da niggaz. We'ze want da humanz ded. Use yur magikk to coorse dem and den we wil attakk. We'ze rape dem and you'ze eat dem, or we'ze eat dem and you'ze rape dem.

>+holy water
>+ledger of legal documents
>+alliance with the goblins


>>5273543
The Judge passes her last judgment.
The court will drop the charges of deicide. The evidence provided makes it clear that mere mortals cannot kill the divine flesh of the almighty god, Shi. The humans may walk free.
The human representatives asks to sue Hyu, but this cannot be done, as mortals are not allowed to sue a god. When discussing informally with the death knights, the humans gain a slightly better understanding of the laws of the universe. Everything emanates from Shi, and the will of Shi is the ultimate law. He is perfect, splendid, righteous, and just. All other laws derive from this one law. The ultimate law is simple, and complexity arises from considering all cases in which this law must be enforced.

The undead seeing the blatant destruction of their people would decide that the current area is too violent. They would use simple enchantments to slow their falling and jump from the black tower past the stone wall. They they would take refuge in the safe room away from the goblin horde.

I'll have to agree, since I developed holy water with a roll of 93 last turn. I think the DC's should have been a little more roughly outlined, if nothing else.

Ironically on the day Wux had to take a break, I was going to thank him for being consistent and for QM'ing the thread in general, which I'd still like to do, albeit later than I should have.

We've only got a handful of turns left, right, Wux? Like 5? I think you can muster up what you've had in mind and sew together these threads to make a captivating masterpiece of an ending.

I'll announce my actions in a few hours or maybe tomorrow morning after I dream of Wakanda.

Seeing the sorry state of the Undead, the Silverfish are willing to make peace with them and cease pursuing them, on two conditions:

>1. The cessation of experiments and usage of once living souls. No more putting them into rocks to be tortured forever.
>2. The renouncement of any alliance with PTE, who’s now rotting in jail. The Thadmancer is dead, the Mira Mortis is dead, the 120 of you have been let down by your heroes.

>>5274199
You guys are in a really fucking good spot, considering the huge loss you took early on. Looking forward to seeing what you do.

Despite our years of shared cultural exchange and cooperation, it seems like we’ve still failed to understand the crucial, final maxim of the AAA: The tenets of ‘Dindu Nuffin’, that led us to speaking out poorly against our closest allies and best friends. We hope you’ll forgive this indiscretion.

Action 1: The Goblins have gotten too numerous, and their warlike commie nature is a threat to the other living races. We can hopefully neutralize this, while preserving the work of our human allies. Have the plague mages develop a sexually transmitted disease that reacts to testosterone and rapidly rots away testicles made from Goblin tissue. The mass breeding of the goblins ought to mean that this gets spread En masse too. Hopefully, this ends up sterilizing the male Goblins and making them infertile, forcing them to get cucked by superior human cock and become reliant on them in order to keep breeding. This ought to begin the dilution of goblin culture and bring them closer to the even-tempered humanity.

Action 2: Have the Gnolls train and teach our people counterintelligence tactics, and how to battle misinformation. With their aid, we seek to become resistant to propaganda and able to better recognize such things in the future, increasing the mental fortitude of the Silverfish racial alliance.

Can we bum some of that holy water, homies?
Action 3: Attempt to infiltrate the prison by having a group of insiders. One member of each caste, including 1 each from the gnolls and crabs we have, will be sent to the Tribunal’s prison on trumped up charges invented by us. Their aim will be to form a prison gang and gain influence, while having holy water smuggled in their asses or something. If not holy water, then bags of salt. Their endgoal will be to corner and metaphorically shank the now vulnerable PTE, and put an end to the necromancer at long last. Imprisoned, he ought to be devoid of weapons or magic, and will hopefully fall to mortal hands.

Other actions:
Swap production of surrogates from Aaa to Crabmen, I want more crab friends.
Have the factory mass produce ballistae and place them on our walls. A couple will be gifted to the humans as well.

>>5274345
>I think the DC's should have been a little more roughly outlined

You can check the Mythic RPG chart here: https://archived.moe/qst/thread/3947911/#3974061

You can see with a Magic skill of Average and and DC of Minuscule, you must roll 95 or under to succeed.

Now, as for the DC of Minuscule. In Turn 10, I set the DC as Weak for cleansing water. I consider making holy water to be on the same level as that. Since Gaia has revealed herself as being Mami Wata, goddess of water, I lowered the DC by one rank to Minuscule.

Now, the highest DC was Incredible for the summoning of Thyp'ptyklpt and opening a rift gate to the Plane of Entropy. So all spell DC's are between that, Minuscule for a cantrip and Incredible for a world destruction spell.

Nah, I have no developed plans for civ-building or intent to do so. My main interest was the production of spooky, eldritch artifacts and sowing chaos for Wux to build off of. However, watching the fruits of 20 turns worth of tinkering get dropped into an exploding ravine and the (effectively) permanent incarceration of my Civ Leader kind of killed my enthusiasm.

I also feel a bit faggoty for teaming up so blatantly, but my civ was destroyed nearly without chance of redemption on like turn 6, not saying it's not my fault, though. (what are the conditions for winning, anyway?)

I've had fun on this journey and I still am, especially since I'm not afraid to lampoon topics or myself or others along the way.

I don't know why Wux decided on something like trying to ban Shi, lol, kind of bitch-made in my opinion, but different strokes for different folks, we're not all gonna get along or understand each other 100% of the time here. Just kinda came outta left field, from my viewpoint. I think the players have all been let down in different ways due to the ambiguity of the system and maybe even the temperamental nature of the QM at times, but he's human, so I'll forgive him for being a faggot every now and then.

Gg then! I gotta say, being completely devoid of magic was a huge disadvantage in our early clashes, as it’s very hard to come up with convincing techbabble in early caveman times, unlike magiscience. The water gate you made was a masterful move, and despite the grief it caused, was one of my favorite turns in the game.

Next time there’s anything like this, I’ve learnt my lesson about going for a race that completely lacks one attribute.

It's simple. I don't mind giving out an item or something else to make up for a mistake I've made. But I do not enjoy the negative energy that comes from complaining. I had to terminate my quest Multiplayer Isekai #6 because the negative energy was overwhelming. Since then, I have added to the quest rules that I will ban complaining about quest progression.

The last of the undead, in their floating tower, curse the gods for their misfortune. In one year, with the spread of the necrotic plague, they gained the largest army in the world, only to lose it entirely the next. The law of the universe, that a principality acquired with ease is difficult to keep, is ruthless. Shi, the sumptuous, merciless god, hears them call him retarded, and strikes them with thunder. The tower falls to the ground, killing all the zombies and golems inside of it. Thus ends the undead civilization.

>>5274435
The Silverfish organize an international meeting with the goblins, so that their plague mages and fire shamans develop scholarly ties and exchange mutually beneficial knowledge. When the goblin shamans arrive, the national hymn of the goblins is played by entranced African American drummers. The ceremony is convivial, and each race's scholars display their power. The goblins shaman burn up wooden targets and small animals, and the Silverfish plague mages rot the testicles of a zombie prisoner, which makes the goblins laugh a lot. Unbeknown to them, their drinks were spiked with the testicle-rotting plague, and their bring it back to the goblin nation.
The gnolls teach conspiracy beliefs to the Silverfish to aid them develop better faculties against propaganda. They ask the Hive Queen that she doesn't share this knowledge with other civilizations. With conspiracy beliefs, the Silverfish are able to develop a higher form of critical thinking where they question the veracity of everything, be it physical, mental, social, or spiritual. The Silverfish begin to ponder about who, exactly, is controlling their civilization.
A mixed group of Silverfish criminals is brought to the Tribunal by Paladin Brrzktktk'zzt. When before the Judge, they spit on the ground and curse the name of Constantia. The Judge sentences them to 2000 years of prison. One of the gnolls had holy water smuggled into his ass, and his fellow inmates have to cut him open to retrieve it. The inmates have one hour of free time each day in the prison courtyard, which PTE spends meditating. One day, when the guards are absent, a crabman attacks him with a homemade knife that has been bathed in holy water. He stabs PTE at the top of the head while he's meditating, and the great necromancer, at last, dies permanently.

The humans spend the year on three engineering project. The first project is building up from gunpowder from guano. The second project is developing the cannon, a large-caliber rifle which can destroy large enemies and walls, and inspired by the ballista that is gifted to them by their allies, the Silverfish.
The third project is the development of better housing. Using stone and smooth marble, they build a house for each citizen. Each house is unique, and the meritorious citizens have a palace built for them, with high pillars, warm baths, crab farms, and latrines. The population, which previously lived in filthy dwellings, almost like wild beasts, becomes much happier. That is, with the exception of your goblins and orcs. Some of them become afflicted with a plague of unknown origin, which makes their testicles rot.

Random Event (Move Toward a Thread): With the threat of the demon Hyu gone, and the undead civilizations eliminated, the goblins prepare a large-scale raid on the humans. Despite their extremely high level of technology, the human civilization might be destroy, which is intolerable to the African Americans. High Priestess Mami Rihanni-Tyqueria asks the goblins to not attack this year. She requests the goblins to give her one year to educate the humans in Marxism with goblin characteristics. Out of feelings of love and friendship for the goblins' greatest allies, Klobkord the Wicked accepts the request.

Later that year, Kobkord's testicles rot and fall. He travels to the African American swamp village personally, without his retinue, falls on his knees before the priestess, and begs her to heal him.
When analyzing the legal documents in his possession, the African American scholar Da'quintin Robertson discovers that in a legal contract between Thyp'ptyklpt, Shi, and the Scribes, he can redact part of the text, and that this redaction would result in the immediate death of the Scribes. Further, in another contract between the Scribes and the Judge, he discovers that the Judge's name is Quinta. By cautiously editing the text, he could kill the Judge and replace her in her function.
1) Training ninjas to teleport fails.
2) There are not enough crab bodies for your crab zombie population to expand.

Oh crap. We should probably prepare this year, huh? Spartanbros, you guys take the lead and we'll put all our actions into prep too. We could probably try and set up the same sticky traps leading up to your wall, that make it impossible to climb? Adding the resin to the silk could also make it fireproof. There's gonna be a huge horde to contend with, I assume. Some kind of acid-sprayer or siege-related caste would be good too.

Also, very sorry about the balls of your orcs and goblins, that was completely on me for being retarded. My plan was to tank the Goblin breeding rate so that your orc crossbreeding operation would be easier, and it'd weaken their ability to replenish numbers. I completely failed to realise that it meant crossbred male orcs and goblins would also be affected by it, which was obvious as fuck in hindsight.

Major Event

The First World War has started, opposing intellectual enlightenment to Marxism. The humans develop the gatling gun, a rapid-firing gun that appears like alien technology or magic to the uncivilized.

The Silverfish troops arrive through the tunnel, to help their humans allies. They work together to reinforce the wall with metal plates, silk traps and fireproof resins. War drums are heard in the distance, echoing through the corridors. The heavy, coordinates footsteps of the goblins make the ground shake. Women and children are terrified, and take refuge in the quarry. The goblin army arrives. Banner carriers lift the Marxist red flag high.

The massacre begins. The goblins do not have siege engines, so the humans fire their cannons sporadically at the enemy. The goblins disperse. They rely on the fire magic of their shamans to carry out destruction, but the walls are fireproof. The goblinoids retreat to the sewers, and only come back one week later. This time, inspired by human engineering, they dig a tunnel under the wall, and make it crumble. The wall falls, and the human territory is now only protected by a line of 2000 Tauborn soldiers. Fearing direct conflict with the behemoths, the goblins return to their territory.

>Enlightened casualties: 62 Tauborn, 3 humans, 3 goblins
>Marxist casualties: 5000 goblins

Other Events

The demon Hyu appears back at the center of the Great Hole, carrying on his back Ryu, the 17th son of Shi. Ryu is a goblin of human height, whose eyes shine with cruel cunning. He holds a large leather bag.

Knowledge (Religion): Shi's sons have such heteroclite appearance due to the fact that each of them were fathered from a different goddess. In mythological texts, Shi is described as having a harem of 10,000 virgin goddesses.

Later that year, all Scribes suddenly die of a heart attack, at the same time.

Random Event (Epic Critical): Daquan, the king of the African Americans, oversees the calculated cave-in of the canyon that leads to the swamp. The passage is just wide enough for one big booty Black mama to walk through it. Further, a portcullis has been mounted at the entrance of the passage. As last resort, the African Americans have stolen enough gun powder from the humans to create another cave-in on invading troops.

Secretary Kobkord is captured, and trapped in a transportable cage. He's tortured, but resists all of the African Americans torments. He has lost his balls, the most precious organ to a man, and doesn't care about preserving his life. He dies an undignified death, malnourished, in a pool of his own bodily fluids. The African Americans cannibalize bits of his body, to absorb his vitality.

The crab zombies demand greater political representation in African American society.

Does it cost an action to pass population to other civs? I’ll spend one this turn to return the AAA their kids, if so.

Guys, any recomendation on what to do with my goblins?
>>
>>5276679
Ah, okay. Could I retroactively have the AAA transferred to em? Which ought to have resolved the population percentage issue with the crab zombies.

>>5276681
My interpretation of it was that the population of your civs swapped majority, into that of another race. Which would cause issues with them asking for power and representation. The goblins breed far faster than humans, so they’re about to vastly overtake your population. I’d recommend resorting to the surrogates now, so that humanity can maintain their majority in the Spartan civ. I hope it doesn’t sound suspicious or that I have an ulterior motive for constantly suggesting them.

Also, goddamn it, fuckimg Hyu is back.
>>
>>5276696
That is an option, but there are others.
Create a new settlement for them.
They would become the "enlighten" goblin tribe.
so a NPC. Maybe in the swamp or the deepwater dungeon.

or send a counter attack agaist the gobin invaders to reclaim land.
Using 75 humans and 140 goblins as troops.
Just promise the new land for their them, if more humans die than goblins accuse them of cowardice.

I could use them as spies, convincing them to take control of the goblin tribes and fight the other kings.
they would end up killing eachother and i could mop the survivors.

And I could kill them all. No leeks of my tech into goblin hands.
Becouse i will not enslave them.

Thanks fren. Shouldn't I have a few more AAA guys from this unit transfer? >>5276420

Either way, grant greater representation to the crabs anyway. Our society is equal. Daquan even voluntarily relinquishes the crown to me, Snippy McEyestalk, progenitor of the Undead Hammerclaw Clan's lineage, for a few months as a trial run.

>>5276738
I think the Manchurian Candidate option would work. Am I using that term right? Anyway, having your goblins return to the enemy goblins could be a good way to infiltrate them and destroy them from the inside out. Create a bloody uprising against Marxism, maybe?

>Action 1: Send a handful of fliers towards Hyu and Ryu, to try and parley with them. Ask him to leave us be, as their previous attempts have gone poorly, and ask for his demands.

>Actions 2 and 3: Time to learn from the Undead once more. The Silverfish recall the old wars, where their own dead were converted by the horde and turned into soldiers. They decide to make good use of their Greater Assimilation, and try to create a new caste. They attempt to use the thousands of Goblin corpses and integrate them into a new caste: The Buglin.
>Buglins are hybrids of Silverfish and Goblins, who can only breed within their caste and are sterile otherwise. They're near-mindless, with little independence, and can be commanded in squads by True Silverfish. Using their ability to extricate genetic material and energy from biomass, they have vastly sped-up metabolisms that help them grow up as fast as Gobbos. It takes the mass of roughly one adult Goblin to fuel its transformation from a juvenile state to an adult that's able to fight. With this, every dead body on the Goblin side will end up being converted into fuel, that directly spawns a new brood to fight them. It's a living reflection of the conversion that the zombies performed on them.

Gonna try and prep our numbers for the incoming Goblin attacks. Hopefully this helps our numbers swell up proportionally to the horde.

You can rise by scientific and military achievements or by submitting laws that uphold our morals.

But, If you want to carve your place into this world we will assist.
You can go to the savage northern tribes and start conquering them from the inside.
You have lived here many years, you are smarter and more trained than them, and we will provide support the first years till you can achieve your independence.
This is the contract of the terms.
We will supply you with steel grade weapons and military support.
and you or your descendants wont attack the alliance or spread the tech you have learned here farther than your sons and daughters.

Flying Silverfish drop fliers on Hyu and Ryu, to parley with them. Hyu burns the fliers and gets angry.

”Foolish, repugnant insects! How dare you threaten your gods! We will only leave after this plane of existence is purged of all insectoid life.

Hyu follows the flying insects back to their home. Ryu, the goblin demon, puts his hand inside his bag, and takes out fliers of his own. Hyu circles above the Silverfish city, and Ryu drops fliers.

green]Read my fliers, dogs! I think you're going to like them![/green].

The text of the flier is not very impressive, and in fact, is written on the level of a third grader. However, the text is cognitohazardous, and contains a mind virus that encourages an intensive, harmful form of worship. The humans, who have been trained in conspiracy belief, are all able to resist the fliers. Their mind is firm and stable, disciplined in the art of questioning everything.

Ryu! Your funny tricks are useless. Let me show you how to crush those mortals.

Hyu lands on the floor. He spins on himself, and creates a tornado, which crushes the insects on the walls, even the powerful Tauborn. Due to the population being condensed into one small area, few of the Silverfish survive. The paladins come out of their barracks, ready to counter-attack. But the demons are very careful. They immediately take off, and fly back to the great hall.

The Atlantean African-Crab Coalition (AACC) erects wooden statue at the images of their greatest politicians and heroes. Out of respect for the crab zombies, the statue of Pappy McEyestalk is sculpted with the largest penis. The diverse representation of all the people of the coaliation, sane or insane, alive or dead, fosters a spirit of respect and love. The population feels unified, and the SJWs stop making irresponsible and selfish revendications.

High Priestess Guap'tisha Rashad retreats to the depths of the swamp, where no man has walked and where the ancient spirits are said to still live. She attempts to commune with Thyp'ptyklpt, following forbidden Voodoo rituals. She curses, raps, and dances for many days, but none of her efforts accomplish anything.

Message from the goblins: if you send them 500 healthy African Americans males, they will send you 2000 newborn orcs next year.

The dead corpses of goblins are inserted into the womb of the surrogates. They analyze, decompose, and absorb the unknown strands of DNA. They produce many horrifying abominations, most of which are mindless, puny, or incontinent. Those abominations are quickly put to death. After months of efforts, they produce the buglin, a perfect hybrid of Silverfish and goblin.

The insects bring wall parts from their magical factory, which can be easily assembled to reform a great wall. The new wall, made from insect technology, is not as strong as the previous wall, but is impressive nonetheless, and is coated with fireproof resin, which is most important against goblin attacks.

Kriagus Uglymug, the general of the Spartan goblins, listens to the speech of his king, and kneels down, his ceremonial bronze sword pointing to the floor.

”Milord, we do not wish to leave. The goblins who complained about a lack of representation were only Leftists who do not possess any merit of their own, and can only complain like helpless faggots. Since losing their testicles to the plague, they have been piteously unmeritorious and weak. Thank the Monad, I was myself immune.”

The goblins show an affinity to the element of fire, and are particularly talent gunmen. General Uglymug personally trains 110 humans in the use of all of the Spartan gunpowder arsenal, and they become as proficent as a goblin.

>The plan will be to send out our fliers to distract them and lure them towards our dam again. Once they arrive, we'll open the gate. The pressure ought to send the water blasting out at them, to quell their flaming bodies temporarily. That's when the full brunt of the Silverfish armada will descend on them. Our weavers will fly about, keeping him occupied and blasting him with their sharpshooting skills. Other weavers will carry paladins to latch on to him mid-air and stab at him with their metal weapons.
>The ballistae and cannons atop the walls will launch bolas of chain and fireproofed silk, to bind Hyu flight and stop him from escaping or using his tornado attack. As he falls, pre-arranged cannons will fire at the rooftop, to cause another collapse. All the rubble will be meant to crush him. But that won't be enough. We'll continue sending down rubble, while blasting any motion in the pit with further cannonballs. A perimeter of weavers will be arranged to stop him from getting out of range even if he escapes, with bodysuits woven from our own treated silk to help them survive the fire. No more mercy, no more attempting to negotiate, our goal is to completely annihilate the two enemies of the Mortal Races. Our greatest hero, Paladin Brrzktktk'zzt, will coordinate the assault. May Ace, Sol Magni, shine upon him.

Its a piece of artillery that’s especially large. It is made with whatever we have left of Sumaru's body and shaped in his image.
It will be badly placed on the front so Shi can see it and eventually try to pick it up/destroy it.
The thing is rigged to explode with a ludicrous amount of explosives inside and under it.
It will blow up if certain amount of time passes or if a certain structure breaks, releasing some hidden oil lamps into the payload.
It will be carried to Silverfish's battle field.

APOCALYPTIC EVENT: Shi appears at the center of where once stood the Great Hall. The greater god appears as a massive, oily black mass, that is near impossible to see. His presence is felt even through the solid rock walls of the Library. He has countless tentacles that extend out in all directions, that seem to grow and change at the blink of an eye. His tongue is long and black and, when it moves, it seems to drip a sticky liquid that causes the floor to get slick. For months, Shi sends nightmares of outer space visions to all the mortals in a hundred kilometer radius. All of them feel completely terrified, and many become irreversibly mad.

>From the nightmares, the African Americans and the insects take a -1 RS penalty to all actions
>The humans take a double penalty of -2 RS

Random Event (Turn 29): Secretly, and despite their pledge, the Spartans goblins betray the humans. Indeed, they could not tolerate that the Spartans work as allies with the treacherous insects, who had contaminated them with a horrendous plague. In secret, they sabotaged the construction of the wall, so that it would fall easier to the attacks of the Horde. Take a -1 RS penalty to the defense of the wall.

Random Event (Turn 29): Through the underground tunnels, the rebel goblins stealthily dispatch spies, rogues, and ninjas, to conspire against mankind. They spend many days in the Tribunal, debating politics with the Judge. The Judge, who already had egalitarian tendencies, converts to Marxism.

The Judge summons the king of the humans, Snippy McEyestalk, and the Hive Queen to the Tribunal. The charge against them is the spread of dangerous counter-revolutionary material, which is a threat to the hegemony of Marxism, and thus, a threat to peace and equality in the Library.

Hyu and Ryu fly to the north, in direction of goblin territory. They are stopped by the Silverfish's flier, which enrage them. They chase after flying weavers, at low altitude. Once they arrive at the dam, the Silverfish open the dam, and water blasts at the demons. Ryu screams.

[reg]Argh! I hate water! Puny insects! You will regret this![/red]

A swarm of weavers flies around them, and attack them continuously, supplied by the orcs. The two demons are near blinded. Another swarm of weavers, mounted by paladins, attack them. The paladins are holding lances of iron, and charge the demons. This attack is not very effective, but it keeps the demons distracted. Some of the insects, from seeing Shi in the distance, lose their mind.

At Paladin Brrzktktk'zzt's signal, it's now the turn of the cannoneers to attack. The Silverfish attack with bolas of silk; the humans attack with heavy cannonballs. This breaks Hyu's wings, and he falls. The Silverfish fire at the rooftop, but their aim is too inaccurate, and Hyu is not caught in the ensuing collapse. From their side, the humans keep shooting. Ryu screams more, in pain this time. All of his joints have been broken by the heavy cannonballs. The scream keeps going for several minutes, growing weaker. Then, it stops. A paladin lands near them, and declares that both the demons have perished.

>>5278969
The goblins are crawling on top of each other, and form an indistinct green mass, vaguely shaped like a worm. They charge at the human wall, which is now mostly undefended. 2000 Tauborn were lined up behind the wall, as reinforcement. Goblin sappers burn them alive, and some, who were mad from Shi's nightmares, burn themselves. They take the human city and rename it as “Kobalopolis”.
>Baka: -20 humans, -20 goblins, -Sparta
>Silverfish: -2000 Tauborn


>>5279248
The African Americans, as is their tradition, nap for an entire year. The warmth of all the demonic activity near them has raised the temperature, which has made them more tired than normal. The crab zombies walk aimlessly in the swamp, or stand idle, repeating that they are in need of brains.

Fuck. We’ve come real far, fellas. I couldn’t have asked for better brothers in arms than you two. We’ve defeated two more demons together, which I didn’t expect, and yet the end seems nigh.

To the AAA… I regretfully believe that it’s time to do away with the Judge. Her former splendor has been corrupted.

As for the Goblins, I intend on amplifying the plague and completely sterilizing them. They’ve betrayed the Spartans despite everything. The surviving Spartans are welcome to retreat into our lands and settle, we have lots of room.

Going to bed, but I’ll post my actions in the morning. It’s been a great game, everyone.
>>
One more thing for the AAA. If you guys do decide to go through with redacting and eliminating the judge, I’d like to request Brrzktktk'zzt be appointed to the new position. He’s fought in every war against the undead, proven his mettle over and over as one of the first Tauborn, and lead the strike against the demons. I’d really like to promote him to a higher calling as a final farewell.

Brrzktktk'zzt is so good that he deserves to have his own quest.

>>5279424
I have been thinking of a way to kill the goblins.
I have constructed that place, I know were the ventilation shafts are.
I can smoke them out.
I can kill them all.

Or I could use the the minor diplomacy bonus I have agaist their low diplomacy to trick them into letting me in.
I need to think on it.

This will show the Judge how committed we are to Marxism, peace, equality and following the laws of the library. Surely this final act of brown-nosing will rocket-boost us above the competition. Shi/Thyp probably likes fire, too.

Call me M. Nig Shyamalan... Crab......... Sorry, but after weeks of gushy brotherhood, we needed a spicy little twist of betrayal.

Yeah... I know. I knew this was coming eventually. But I guess I just didn't want to see it, or ever even act on it, because I was hoping something would change. Spartans, we'll take care of this, focus on the goblins if you would.

>Action 1: Redirect our water flow to fight the fires. As we've set up the necessary engineering long ahead of time, we ought to be able to do this without difficulty. And as the remaining humans are probably with us, since the city was lost, this would probably extinguish their problem at the same time. The water flow will move East instead of the abyss or great hole, extinguishing the flames licking at our walls, as well as providing an easy means of firefighting.

The Silverfish are deeply hurt by this betrayal They've seen the AAA as their brothers, and have worked hard to protect them. They took them in when they were at their lowest, made a whole caste to preserve their race, and fought alongside them as equals. They've been increasingly proud of the comeback their brothers have made, developing ninjas, magic, and carving their place out in the world. But Hyu has taught them that continuing to show mercy in the face of overwhelming malice is a foolish thing to do. As much as they'd like to simply let this go, despite the loss of life it might cause, they cannot do so in good conscience. With heavy hearts, they march.

>Action 2 and 3: Send our army into the swamps. The Buglins will go first. We'll send 3000 buglins to the portcullis to infiltrate, kill the guards, and widen the tunnel enough for our actual troops to swarm in. They'll borrow some gunpowder from the humans, to blow this place open. That's when we'll send our army. 2000 breeders, 2000 weavers, 2000 overseers, 2000 Tauborn.
>...Kill them all.

Misc things:

Transfer the remaining 1788 Buglins to the humans, as well as 300 Tauborn to control them. The humans will have the right to use them as they please, in order to deal with the Goblins.
Surrogates: Breed among themselves.
Factory: Gunpowder for the AAA-invading Buglins (Assuming the humans are alright with this)

>She can only appear in the material plane when the emerald is in the temple.
Make sure we don't EVER put the emerald there anymore, so the judge can't show up and wreck our shit, or continue that farce of a trial that our queen has been sucked into.

And that's my final turn.

Once inside they will atempt to open the gates for the rest of the army.

TURN 30

The secret rule for Turn 30 is revealed: >>>/mlp/38632546 As a culmination of the Chaos, all actions for this turn are successful.

Art: "Cthulhu" by Sanskaran, Creative Commons license.

From the elder god's presence, reality begins to warp and to become unstable cf. Eldritch Horror quests. Strong minds affect reality directly, and the improbable becomes probable. Waking up every night from dreadful nightmares, the mortals feel paranoid, and do not know what is real anymore. The only thing that is certain is that the universe is much more horrific than one could imagine, and the gods are cruel, insane, and petty.

>>5279970
The African Americans and zombie crabs, who had been enslaved by the Silverfish for many generations, rebel. The African American elder, who was born on Earth, recalls the history of Haiti. On Haiti, the African Americans had been ruthlessly enslaved by the French. In 1804, the slaves rebelled, and raped and massacred all of the French, thus, finally, gaining their freedom, which gave birth to the most powerful form of magic, Haitian Vodou. As reenactment of Earth's history, the African Americans burn down the Silverfish, the Spartan, and the goblin armies. The females are raped, and then pushed into forced marriages. Shaq'kobe McBacksnipper, the famous zombie crab pirate, forces himself onto the living females, and contaminates their throat and womb with his virile rot, pus and necrosis.

>Silverfish and humans lose half of their population
>>
>>5280693

>>5280085
The Silverfish females redirect their water flow to fight the fires. This extinguishes all the flames, and prevents another out of control fire to occur. The Silverfish do not understand the betrayal. The Hive Queen remembers being a kind liege, even giving the African Americans self-determination and autonomy to their genetic material. She remembers feeling proud of their accomplishments as ninjas and sorcerers, and watching over tenderly over their prolonged naps.

The Silverfish form a new army with only female soldiers, and enter the swamp. With gunpowder, they blow up the tunnel, making it wide enough for an armored Tauborn to pass through. Without hesitation, they kill all of the African Americans and zombie crabs who had raped them, as well as the women and children. They perform the task mercilessly, but without malice. The African Americans are completely outnumbered, and they all die. The Silverfish feel their heart heavy, and full of regret.

>The AACC civilization is wiped out
>The humans gain 894 buglins [transfer]

>>5280199
The human females excelled at engineering as well as the males. They kill and skin the orcs, who look too much like their African American fathers, who betrayed and tortured them. They skillful disguise as orcs, being completely undistinguishable from a real orc, even to the most trained eye. They enter and surrender, saying that Shi has killed the remaining humans. Due to reality being unstable, they are not sure if this story is actually true or not. Once inside, they open the gates, and the Spartan female army enters. With their superior artillery, they slaughter all of the goblins, whether old or young, member of the Marxist party or commoner. Sparta has been recovered, but at a probably untolerably high price.

>The goblin civilization is wiped out

Thus ends this story of war, massacre, rape, pillage, and pyromania. In the end, the mortals only listen to their basest instincts, and violence completely dominates over abstract theories of the mind. Marxism or enlightenment were only the fancies of aged philosophers, and tools of political control. This is the inescapable reality dreamed by the cruel god Shi.

WOOOO! We made it. I’ll write up a couple of passages once I wake up. Been a great game, everyone. Thank you for running, Wux, enjoyed myself greatly over the past month.

My concept was to run a quest with the default template and a one-liner OP, and run it to the end no matter what.

Next time I run a Mythic RPG quest, I'll add an optional rule where players can evaluate the odds of their actions or the actions of other players, and I'll average it out with my own estimation. This should provide more satisfaction regarding the DCs.

>>5280731
>That was a plot twist no one saw coming.
So was the hidden post being on /mlp/ kek

I think the rankings sound about right. Lol.

I didn't really have any big problems with the narrative direction (sometimes the dice don't want you to write a good story and you have to say "fuck the dice" sometimes, I get it). But stuff like rolls in both the 30's and 60's passing a 50/50 roll, difficult DC's being passed with crappy rolls without explanation or "RS" notes, and the crit ranges left me scratching my head at times (albeit shortly).

It's probably one of those things where more rigidly defining the rules makes it more "fair" but less "fun".

Anyways, fun times were had by all. Okay, most. Okay, some. Okay, that one guy.
Just kidding.

Cheers fellas, I'm gonna drink a cheap, cold beer in your honor.

For the rolls, I followed Mythic RPG. The DC for a 50/50 roll is 50 at the beginning. With the Chaos Level increase, the DC for a 50/50 roll increased to 75. The Chaos Level makes the rolls easier to succeed. The crit range is different for each Acting Rank and DC. The easier the roll, the larger the crit range for a Yes.

[EPILOGUE]

The Silverfish stand among the corpses and ashes, and they weep.

A victory has been achieved, but at far too great a cost. Their sworn brothers, who've betrayed them, lie dead within the swamps. Their human allies have lost much in their slaying of the Goblin warmongers. And above all, the memory of the Elder God's influence hangs over them- a herald of doom.

But life finds a way, and clings onto the edge of the abyss. Always.

Standing there forever and grieving will not do. Life must go on within the Library, and the survivors swear to live on for the sake of those who've lost their lives. Slowly, bit by bit, they reclaim what was once theirs. In their sweeping of the swamp village, they discover the artifact that the AAA had stolen from the Judge. By deciphering Da'quintin Robertson's research notes, encrypted in Ebonics, they discover its purpose and function. They hesitate to carry it out, for they've seen enough death and devastation for an eternity. But one more act of necessary violence needs to be carried out, to secure the future of the Library.

With a and a , they sweep the pen across the ancient contract and bring about Quinta's end, for she has been doomed by Marxism and lost her way. Paladin Brrzktktk'zzt kneels before the Hive Queen, the pen secure in his grip, and she relieves him of his oath of fealty towards her and the Silverfish. He has something Greater to work towards now. Shouldering his greatsword, a final gift from his people, he steps into the Emerald Temple and vanishes into a flash of light. Though the Gods are nowhere near as infallible as they first thought, perhaps one bug will be able to enact a change from within.

Life goes on. It always must. The Silverfish rebuild and spread out. Now that the greatest mortal threats have been dealt with, an unprecedented era of peace stretches out before them. They aid their Spartan allies in rebuilding and repairing their city, and then pull back to their own territories, wishing for nothing more than a trade relationship. Still heartbroken from the betrayal of the AAA, they permanently renounce their ever-present offer of lending them the surrogates, for they fear granting humanity such a boon ever again. The shell-less four-limbs will have to live and breed by their own power now. It will take a long, long time for the scars of this war to heal.

The words of PTE ring in their mind. He was right, in that no life after death exists, leaving souls free to be manipulated. They begin their greatest project yet. With no magic at their fingertips, they pray to their unseen Judge, working together with Him to establish a great piece of work. No more will the spirits of the dead wander the shelves aimlessly. By his hand, they finally succeed in forming the afterlife they sought.

After death, the souls will seek out and fuse with one of the countless empty tomes that line the library chambers within the Silverfish territories. Their hopes, their dreams, their aspirations, and the record of their lives will be inscribed in the book, serving as a mark that they indeed lived. As new generations peruse and read these stories, they learn from their mistakes and their accomplishments, storing such things within themselves and carrying it onward far into the future. In this way, all will be immortalised, guarded over by the bugs and protected from further exploitation. As the greatest civilization to have sprung up, they've come a long way from foul insects who did nothing but consume knowledge and hide away in hives. Now, they see their duty: To guard this place, and ensure the Library and its souls come to no harm.

There's still much to do. They've gotten rid of the Buglins after the war, and are working on tidying up the Great Hole. There are houses to build, there are places to explore. They still need to see what lies beyond the factory and the swamp. But all that is for the future. For now, the Hive Queen sets a hand on her abdomen, sitting within her grand chamber. Though their allies and enemies have been slain, the Silverfish make no habit of wasting biomass. Somewhere within them, intertwined with strands of their DNA, are the remnants of the AAA, Goblins, and even the long-extinct Skaven. Perhaps some day, in the far future, when they feel like they're ready to bring these folk back, their ilk will walk the library again. They'll be released into a prosperous Golden age, with the Silverfish replacing the Scribes and serving as true custodians of the infinite hallways. Perhaps with the Spartans standing alongside them, if they've managed to pull themselves out of their decline. But all that is idle dreaming for now.

A 'smile' across her mandibles, the Hive Queen drapes a dark cloth over her eyes.

And she takes a nap.
