Creating a Kaiju:
To join, come up with a concept for your Kaiju. Maybe it's an ancient egg that's just hatched due to a nuclear explosion, an animal mutated from an experiment, or even an alien invader. Whatever it is, it's weak and fresh, with room to grow before it can truly gain the power of a god. Providing a visual reference for your Kaiju is optimal.

Stats:
A Kaiju begins with F in all stats. However, even this rating is enough to devastate part of a city. You may choose two stats to increase upon character creation, excluding Size.

Sheet:

>Description:
>HP:
>Size: F
>Strength:
>Stamina:
>Speed:
>Specia:l
>Energy: 1/4

Description: Describe your Kaiju's concept, origin, and some potential abilities. This determines the sort of actions you may take during turns. For example, a reptillian Kaiju cannot randomly attempt to construct a web using its Special stat, while a giant spider may. The broader the range of things they can do, the weaker the overall effect.

HP: Size + Stamina (F=1, A=6)

Size: (The size of your Kaiju in its current iteration. Cannot be increased at creation, gained upon reaching Milestones. Larger sizes allow you to do more damage or move faster.)
Strength: (The physical strength and fighting ability of your Kaiju. Affects hit success rate.)
Stamina: (The resilience of your Kaiju, covering how much damage they can tank and their capacity for recovery between battles.)
Speed: (How agile your Kaiju is in battle, and their ability to traverse distances.)
Special: (Your Kaiju's special abilities. They may have breath attacks that do more damage than their physical attacks, or the ability to create nests and birth minions. Requires Energy to utilise in most situations.)
Energy: 1/4 (You begin with 1/4 units of concentrated bioenergy, increased by consuming sources of radiation or other energy forms. This allows your Kaiju to utilise their Special stat to achieve effects that their other stats don't cover.)

Once you're done, select a starting location on the world map and mark it out or list the coordinates. Kaiju may not start within a 1-tile radius from one another.

Stat Contests:
Difficult actions are carried out with 1d3 rolls. A 1 is a decreased degree of success, 2 is the expected degree of the stat, and 3 is an improved degree. For example, a Kaiju with F Strength attacking another with E Stamina will typically fail to wound it. However, by adding a degree of success, it may be possible to match that stat. This makes it possible for Kaiju to punch above their weight class to a degree, and completely overcome obstacles once they become sufficiently powerful.

Battles:
Kaiju will, obviously, be doing battle against themselves and the human forces that they're invading. A battle involves making a series of Stat Contests. The most common will be actively rolling Strength against a passive Stamina stat to determine if the Kaiju receives an injury. However, alternative contests may be applicable. A speedy kaiju could attempt to actively roll Speed to evade an attack, or utilise Special in place of Strength to use a beam attack.

Defeating an enemy may count as a Milestone that strengthens your own Kaiju, and being defeated will either render your Kaiju unconscious or dead. Early-game deaths or defeats from NPCs may not be fatal, while brawling in the late-game will likely lead to death.

[bEvolving:
Kaiju are able to grow stronger. They may do this through two methods: Milestones and Energy. When a Kaiju achieves a great feat, such as scoring their first kill or razing their first city, they may be considered to have completed a milestone. This allows them to increase their size, which naturally increases their HP and the impact of their stats. Alternatively, a Kaiju may increase a non-size stat by consuming an entire filled-up energy bar and a full turn. This allows them to permanently upgrade themselves over time.

File: Duel.jpg (41 KB, 720x461)

41 KB JPG

Turns:
Each turn, a Kaiju receives 3 actions. Ideally, when not fighting, you'll want to be establishing your own goals. For example, spending actions to make a lair, or an action search for nuclear sites to subsequently feed from. You can spend an action to move a tile on the map, attack other kaiju, hunt for food in the wilderness, attack a city, etc, it'll rely on your write-ins.

As this system is makeshift and untested, the direct impact of stats on these actions will likely end up being played by ear. Many actions will require rolls or be possible to counter with rolls.

Winning:
The game ends naturally when all Kaiju have achieved their individual goals and are no longer interested in changing the status quo. Some examples are a single Kaiju slaying all others, several Kaiju deciding to permanently ally and co-exist, or the game simply dying off.

Feel free to start posting now. I'm not sure how many players I can take, but will indicate when signups are closed. Please be patient with me since this is a new system I'm trying to test out and simplify.

This looks like a based quest but I'm unfortunately already busy running my own quest!! Best of luck, QM, I'm sure you'll get some takers here.

>>5976627
I'm willing to bite, but I do have a question. an I make a parasitic mushroom that spreads and take territory instead of random giant scaley beast number whatever, or is that not in the kaiju spirit? I can offer giant plants and mushrooms for people to duke it out with down the line if that helps?

>>5976666
Yeah, that sounds fine to me. There’s all sorts of Kaiju, big mushroom would be fine. Making minions would probably be an action that uses Special, and creates mobs that have their own stat blocks, similar to Kaiju.

>Description: The Mushroom (aka The Plant Hopper, the Brain Eater, the Zombie Shroom, the Pale Rider, Hongo del Diablo, Shroomy, Champi)
was first discovered by a scientific expedition into Argentina's subtropical forests, when the expedition ran into "unwell, creepily friendly" animals. First suspecting rabies, scientist eventually discovered obvious signs of mycological infection, from spores in lungs to mycelial cords tracing the animals' nervous systems, including the brain. Over the past few months, these sightings have accelerated as more and more animals seem to lose basic instincts, and venture out of their normal habitats. Even more worrying, all recovered mushroom samples belong not just to the same species, but unbelievable enough, the same rhizome. Whatever is in there is widespread, and probably spreading under the ground for miles. An armed expedition is underway to study, and if necessary contain or destroy what is shaping up to be a continent-spanning ecological disaster, as predator numbers in the area have started dwindling, with infected animals losing even their basic hunting instincts when faced with infected prey animals or plants.

Appearance: pic related, for now. All sightings so far have been limited to mycelial cords within vegetal and animal tissue, including within large mammals...

Shroomy probably will be a nightmare for humans to deal with if it develops how I'm envisioning it, but breath attacks should work well enough, if it comes to that. Just don't expect it to move anywhere fast. It'll stick to being a creeping wave of an environmental hazard until it grows up a little, or if something big comes poking.

The Beast of Tetanko
>Description: This titanic beast was once simply a crustacean with gigantism, likely doomed to a short life due to its poor ability to ambush prey. But fate had a different plan in mind for this strange creature, as it was declared an emissary of god and fostered by the Tetanko, a small and isolated island tribe. Over generations, it was cared for and fed by the people, growing ever larger and larger in the meantime. In turn, it served as the island's protector, fending off rival tribes and other strange beasts once it grew large enough. The beast's unnatural lifespan and indefatigable regenerative powers were judged as further sign of its blessing rather than its abnormal mutation combined with the pampering of the villagers, and over the millennia since then, it has shrugged off the mortal limitations of its original existence, free from disease and grown truly immense feeding on whales and other large marine life between decades of hibernation. Its most recent sleeping cycle was interrupted by an atomic blast, and when it finally dragged itself to the surface, it found its former home completely devastated, its chosen people nowhere to be found. Enraged by this loss, the Beast of Tetanko now comes to the mainland, fueled by hunger and vengeance in equal measures.

In terms of abilities, the Beast of Tetanko is basically a regenerative nightmare, able to come back from even the most grevious of injuries stronger than ever in a short amount of time. In terms of use in combat, I was thinking he could forcefully induce cancerous mutations with his regenerative prowess, exchanging pure strength for further versatility in his approaches as he mutates extra eyes and mouths and limbs and things.

>Description: A Giant Polar Bear, that when agitated glows bright glacier blue.

In the frigid depths of the Arctic, where ice and snow reign supreme, an ancient force stirred beneath the frozen surface. Deep within the heart of an ice cavern, a colossal polar bear, larger than any creature ever seen, emerged from its millennia-long slumber. This behemoth, now known as the Arctic Ursa, had laid dormant for centuries, frozen and hidden from the world by the icy embrace of its homeland.

But as the world changed, so did the Arctic Ursa. For it had managed to evolve in hibernation, growing larger and more powerful with each passing year and even managing to gain the power to bring the cold with it. This majestic creature became a force of nature, its fur shimmering with an otherworldly glow, and its roars echoing across the frozen expanse.

As human activity encroached further into the Arctic, disturbing the delicate balance of nature, the Arctic Ursa awoke once more, its ancient instincts driving it to search for food and new shelter after it’s long hibernation. Towering over cities, it has become a walking blizzard and a symbol of winter unleashed.

Now exploring this new era of time, the Arctic Ursa stands as a wanderer of the world, a formidable presence that demands respect and reverence from all who dare to stop him from finding a new home.

TURN 1: CHAOS

Across the world, various disasters have struck all at once. Numerous meteors have crashed into the atmosphere, nuclear bombs have detonated in preparation to turn them on foes, and rising temperatures have melted ice caps and disturbed things once slumbering within. Earthquakes and tsunamis are forecasted, and those living in catastrophe-prone areas are waiting in terror for the wrath of nature to strike. Humanity is about to learn a harsh lesson: That they have never been the rulers of the Earth.

You may start making actions now. I'll aim for turns lasting roughly 24 hours. Actions are all write-in. Feel free to use real-world justifications and research to act, as we're on a real world map at the moment. For example, Yaderevo has chosen to start in Chernobyl, so may immediately start trying to absorb radiation for energy. Other Kaiju may need to spend an action trying to locate energy-filled zones, which reveals that information to them. This info is only available to those who spent actions obtaining it, unless it's an obvious and realistic situation like a real nuclear plant that anybody can deduce independently.

If you'd like to ask questions regarding various actions, please feel free too, so we can work out any confusion or unclear portions together.

Memritim’s Action 1 is stealth-related, so I think I’ll rule Stealth as being under ‘Speed’ from now.

Arctic Ursa’s Strength is E, and Memritim’s Stamima is F, making an undefended attack hit even in the worst case roll (1/3). However, since Memritim has made an action to utilise stealth, I’ll consider that as an active Speed roll against Ursa’s passive Speed to try and dodge the attack. Will require 1d3 from Memritim.

Action results will all be compiled upon turn update. I think that in order to eliminate the need for roll requests, let’s roll 3d3 each turn to cover all bases for all 3 actions, even if they’re things that don’t require rolls such as movement.

Action 2: Special (F>E) - Active
Action 3: Passive

Memitim dives beneath the ocean, first and foremost, upon awakening in this consciousness-dense plane of existence. However, it can already sense mass deaths rippling across the noosphere, and knows that others are slaying them before it can assimilate their minds. With its extradimensional form, it’s able to move so deep into the sea that none can find it.

From there, it attempts to tear reality itself apart, reducing it into pure energy that it can then subsist of. Vast quantities of seawater are converted, creating blinding flashes that attract the attention of both humans, and worthier adversaries. The destruction of reality itself begins causing a shimming spatial distortion to take shape, as matter rushes in to fill the voids left behind. A veil of aberrant space is left floating in the Arctic sea. It has created energy from nothing.

As Memitim continues absorbing energy, it feels reality itself -snap-, refusing to bend further to its will. The entire region of space has become too tattered and unstable to drain more sustenance from, and any ships foolhardy enough to enter will find that the laws of physics themselves have been utterly devastated. From here, Memitim will need to look for new sources of energy, or spots where reality is coincidentally exploitable enough for it to repeat the maneuver.

The Blizzard Claws freeze large swathes of water with each strike, and should they have struck true, Memitim would have been wounded heavily in the assault. However, the alien has hidden itself too well, and the bear’s trip ends in failure.

There is little room for a gigantic monster to hide out, putting her in close proximity to the sole country that occupies the island chain. Soon enough, they’ve been enwebbed.

>Lair 33% complete

As she raises her antennae and attempts to sense sources of energy, shining like gems of light across a deep ocean, Shelob senses radioactivity right on her doorstep. Her own island has the biomass she needs to feast on and enjoy, but not the nuclear power she truly needs to grow. This can be solved by going North-East, to G20: An island chain in the Pacific that has seen nuclear tests. Residual energy still remains.

While this realisation comes, she begins feeding, terrorising the inhabitants of the Solomon Islands even further.

Solomon Islands Settlements:
>Size: F
>Strength: F
>Stamina: F
>Speed: F
>Special: F

However, with her own body still small, she’s not able to completely devastate and flatten their frankly pathetic settlements. While she can easily crush scattered villages and devour their folk, she hasn’t yet achieved the feat of wiping a tiny country out of existence.

The Typhon descends upon the small icelandic town like the calamity of myth.

Isafjordur:
>Size: F
>Strength: F
>Stamina: F
>Speed: F
>Special: F

As it lashes out with its psychic powers, the vast majority of its two-thousand inhabitants are subject to its will. Whether they go insane, are killed on the spot, or are reduced to animals, the beast is able to have its way with them. When the sun rises, every living soul has been touched by its mind, and the survivors have been snatched up and devoured. There is still much, much more it can devour on Iceland, and its job isn’t done on this single grid tile, but it has begun its rampage.

>The Typhon has consumed 1 energy > 0/4

After this deed is done, it’s able to sense the radiation to the South-West. Dense clusters of nuclear power plants are present in Europe. It can feed off these multiple times, rather than just single instances, making this spot a treasure trove of potential energy. It will find what it seeks on D10.

Following this, Typhon begins establishing a lair somewhere within Iceland. ((Feel free to describe your desires for it as you finish the last action needed, and I’ll assign a stat effect.))

Action 1: Strength (E>D) - Active
Action 2: Passive - E6
Action 3: Passive

The Giant Enemy Lobster begins its reign of terror by devouring fish en-masse and disrupting fishing operations. Trawlers are knocked askew by it, and the reef is left devastated as it eats. The awareness of this creature sharply rises as a result.

As it feasts on whales and sharks, the G.E.L’s antennae direct it towards the closest source of radiation: The Eastern Seaboard. While it’s a bit far inland, there are numerous nuclear power plants on American soil. It becomes aware of the nuclear plants on E6, which will last it for quite a while.

The basking on a small island catches the attention of the Cuban authorities who have been troubled by its recent activity. This means that more eyes are on the Kaiju now, and its presence is being watched. Responses to its attacks will be improved, but should it successfully crush these reinforced cities or survive a stronger assault, it’ll grow stronger from the challenge.

DEWA-PENYU begins ripping into Manila! The attack is staunch, and it focuses on ripping into metal wherever it can find it.

Manila:
>Size: E
>Strength: F
>Stamina: E
>Speed: F
>Special: F

However, it must be tired from its awakening, for it’s not able to completely devastate the city, or leave an irrecoverably scar. Still, thousands are dead, due to the high population density.

While it chews on buses and bridges, oblivious to the fighter jets flying above it, the Kaiju is slowly approached by tanks. It can afford to ignore them as it integrates vast amounts of metal into its body, hardening itself temporarily.

>DEWA-PENYU has an improved Stamina stat against the next attack. (E>D)
>DEWA-PENYU has consumed 1 energy > 0/4

This leaves it vulnerable to the attack from a tank battalion. One explosion rocks its shell, sending the still-small titan fleeing deep into the ocean, away from the smoking Manila.

Mycelium continues spreading throughout the ecosystem, taking over plants and animals alike. This act establishes the Argentinian jungles as part of Shroomy’s domain, changing it and making it a place where it can stand its ground against other Kaiju.
>Lair 33% complete

The incursion into Embalse brings Shroomy in contact with the Nuclear Power Station, one of three in Argentina. It’s able to wreak havoc on it, using its mycelial strands to invade the reactor and siphon the power from it.
>Shroomy gains 1 energy > 2/4

Finally, the growth of tendrils and roots manifest in it being able to spawn various terrifying fungoids in its area of effect. Though it’s not a colossal titan just yet, it has the ability to influence Northern Argentina as part of its domain, through an extensive underground network.

>Action 3: Passive

The reactor that birthed the Yaderevo is quickly subsumed, with even the legendary Elephant’s foot absorbed into its nuclear mass. Radiation levels in Chernobyl plummet rapidly, equalising with the surrounding area. That is, before the creature starts moving, dragging a trail of death through the Russian countryside.

>Yaderevo gains 1 energy > 2/4

As it searches, the entity is easily able to detect various silos and reactors. In fact, there’s more where it’s sitting, easily within reach. The European continent is a nuclear goldmine, with possible sources all around them. Densest to the West, but it can do a clockwise sweep easily and obtain even more precious fuel. The downside is that this shining beacon of radiation is so strong that any Kaiju can be drawn to it from sheer density. D11, C12, C13, and D13 are all radiation hotspots.

Finally, it assaults the various states and consumes their missiles, throwing them into crisis. Those who have had their reactors implode fear sabotage, and those with their weapons destroyed fear the vulnerability it leaves them with. The rampage of the molten beast irradiates vast swathes of land, leaving it unlivable, and emptying the grid of the last vestiges of useful nuclear material.

Action 1: Speed (F) - Active
Action 2: Special (E) VS (D Tokyo Stamina) - Active
Action 3: Passive (F17)

The Hive Mind places itself in low orbit, hovering high above the reach of bombs and tanks. From there, it’s well-protected from other Kaiju. It cannot linger forever, but for now, it is safe and secure, ready to begin the next part of its plan:

Taking over the minds of everybody in Tokyo.

Tokyo:
>Size: C
>Strength: F
>Stamina: D
>Speed: F
>Special: F

Tokyo’s population proves to be too large for it to handle, however. It’s able to gain a group of mind-controlled minions. The brief acclimation period attracts some scrutiny from family members, but the takeover goes largely unnoticed. The entity now has a core group that it can influence and use to its liking.

>Cult gained: Thralls
>The Hivemind has consumed 1 energy > 0/4

Thralls:
>Size: F
>Strength: G
>Stamina: G
>Speed: G
>Special: G

By analysing the knowledge from their minds, the Hive Mind is able to deduce that Japan has quite a few nuclear reactors. It’ll be no issue to descend and begin attacking them. However, by consulting its thralls, it also learns of the nuclear power plants found in China and Taiwan, up to the South-West of its current position. F17.

Action 3: Passive

Phantrumpitus’ initial observation reveals that there’s more energy up North. Its own landing zone has minimal sources of nuclear power, so it’ll need to wander upwards to find it. It becomes aware of E10’s reactors, that seem to call to it.

However, that doesn’t mean that the African continent is useless. Different Kaiju have different means of obtaining energy, and being made from Elephant DNA gives it the limited ability to stabilise its alien genome and integrate samples directly into it. The creature is able to feast on the largest living land animal as it tromps through the Sahara, deriving nutrients from their massive bulk.

>Phantrumpitus gains 1 energy > 2/4

It moves onwards, finding itself drifting closer to the source that it initially observed.

The world is in chaos due to the sudden emergence of these colossal organisms. For the next turn, countries are still ill-prepared, but will be able to mount assaults and prepare their weapons after that. The veil of secrecy has been lifted, and public awareness is rising.

Remember to roll your dice! And if you want to use a specific stat for an action, list out what stat you’d like to use. While the map is highlighted, your Kaiju may not have access to the same information as you, so refer to your turn posts for the specific tiles that you know possess energy sources.

Also, in future turns, I'll probably be trying to change the format I convey info, and things may be less clear because of that. Simply because typing up this much takes a while and will explode my brain after a few turns.

The lair is a coral of tendrils and orange mist, slowly assimilating the local environment. It stores the psyche of all victims, acting as a bank for sustenance. The secondary feature is it takes the physical forms leftover from the feeding process- turning them into lesser typhons that expand the lair.

Oops, let me try again, I somehow missed your update post above, my sincere apologies.

Turn 2: Move to F16.

Turn 3: Dewa-Penyu emerges on the coast of Taiwan, and attacks Oloanpi City! The turtle feasts on yet more metals and alloys! Somewhere in this corner of Taiwan, there is the Maanshan reactor, but the god-turtle is content to fill its belly with mundane resources for now.

Any more than this will be too much for me to handle. But I accounted for inactivity and dropoffs when opening slots. If The Beast of Tetanko doesn't reply to this turn, I'll consider it to have dropped out. Feel free to join at the start of next turn, post your sheet, and make four actions as a slight catchup, in the event they drop out.

I'd never heard of it, but I guess nothing is original anymore! It's actually quite close, though I won't spoil my eventual plans. Mushroom people are in the pipeline, though mine are due to a game I played a few month back called Evolve.

My actual post will come in a little bit. I wasn't expecting a full lair on turn 1, though the effect is quite nice. I'll need to think on how to proceed. Though I will say that I may have left the end of my post a little too ambiguous considering how the QM built on it. The goal was infection, not death, though even with a 3 rolled some incidents are bound to happen when interfacing with such complex organisms.

...Puffball Incident Denier does have a nice ring to it though...

>>5978477
Yeah I figured it was just a coincidence, as fungus parasites are an appropriately "alien" concept that a lot can be done with.

>>5978489
And the Amazon still serves as the perfect place, at least on land, for a new species to appear in, as evidenced by the book. Though I've kept Shroomi's actual origins vague as well. It doesn't remember much about it, or much of anything, for now.

>>5978126
Shroomy is happy. And intrigued. And Shroomi can feel two things at once now. All the extra rhizome is coming in handy. Those large bipedal mammals are strange. Implantation went mostly well thanks to Shroomy's growing experience from the smaller mammals. Except for some explosive failures, where the implanted spores were a little too much puffball and not enough Shroomi. Mammals are not meant to be puffballs, as it turns out. Poor mammals.
Still, these mammals are valuable. They have something Shroomy can use, like it uses the plants and the animals. Though it does not use those words, it can make the difference between the parasite its less evolved brethren usually are, and the symbiotes he has observe in the forest. The thing in the biped's skulls, in the liquid...it kind of looks like a big mushroom, spreading rhizome through the creature. Shroomi knows a gentle touch is needed, so it takes special attention as its tendrils creep further east towards Buenos Aires. Yet even now it feels no more such sources. A thought for later.

>Action 1: Expand towards Buenos Aires and Attucha I and II. Aim for little damage, just dig under the reactor. May count as a double action since the plant has two reactors?

"...Shocking view from our reporter at the Embalsa power plant this morning as thick mycenial cords have wrapped over and inside the structure in a matter of hours. Much like in other areas of the world, the feared meltdown has failed to materialize as radiation levels are trending down..."

"...Tremors have been detected getting closer to Buenos Aires. Local first responders are evacuating the area near the reactors, the government has called all other citizens to shelter in place..."

>Action 2: Interface with the humans from the convoy. Nothing intrusive, just a light touch. Much like with the animals, they should still behave normally, with reduced aggression, especially towards fellow infected, but not only them.

"So?"
"The death rate is going down. Twenty percent of the first wave of infection. Now it's down to eight. Less than an hour. It's learning."
"Sure, but what is it /doing/ to them?"
"When it isn't turning them into human puffballs? Well first it sedates them, maybe so they don't harm themselves, and then the spores stick into the lungs, without obstructing breathing, and start spreading through the body from here...it looked aimless until fifteen minutes ago. Here, we have recordings."
"It pivots towards the spine. It's looking for something."
"That's not the worst part sir."
"Then what is?! We have a mushroom species that is actively learning how to take us over!"
"This happened to all the patients. In all the containment rooms. At the exact same time,give or take five seconds. The rooms were isolated. My best guess is that it's one organism or a colony communicating with itself, and we can't stop it from doing so."
"So what happens when it reaches the brain?"

>Action 3, if taking the two Buenos Aires reactors doesn't count as two actions: start using the refined puffball spores as defenses for the lair. Anything that gets too close should get a dose. Make sure to use the new spores that don't turn some people into spore bombs. Not sure if that would count under attack or defense, though. it's technically a counter, so it depends on how you roll combat. It won't attack anything but will counter-atttack any invading force. Well, more like infect. As for the consequences of the infection, that'll be a next turn thing. Also, those fungal lifeforms should be kept mostly non-lethal. Breach inside vehicles or protective suits, the occasional gash to let in spores, but no crushing or ripping people apart, waste of a perfectly good infected.

Speaking of, now that we're a turn in, what is the actual time of a turn? A day, a week, or is it variable?

Also, do green zones mean that we can harvest energy from there continuously? I was under the impression that reactors were one and done.

And yes, I am mostly asking because I'm thinking of having Shroomy hook up its lair to the local flora and turn it into a solar energy factory. Makes for a tempting target for the others, but would provide local energy for Shroomy since I'm thinking of turtling, and way down the line could help it get back on its feet

Also, adding dice again since it looks like they didn't roll it seems.

Myriad of quasi-neuronal responses receive and fire information as the radiological organism continues it's feast. The decision making mechanisms, rudimentary as they may seem, present a clear path for the Yaderevo, a path west.
>Action 1: move to D11

Germany, while lacking in fissile material compared to its neighbours to the west and east, still sports an impressive aglomeration of decrepit reactors and, most importantly, nuclear weapons, not their own but that is of no matter, food is food.
>Action 2: Consume whatever nuclear warhead the americans have put in Central Europe, and also the German nuclear power plants, as a snack before the main course.

Beyond the Rhine however lays the Yaderevo's true target in Western Europe, 56 nuclear power plants, 290 warheads, all packed in the compact land of France, all ripe for the taking.
>Action 3: Go to France/Denyclearise France

France is in about 3 squares, can I move to and act upon specific regions not represented by the gridmap or how is that supposed to work?

>>5978632
You have to be present on a grid that encompasses the real world location in order to act on it. For the sake of simplicity, you can visit any region within that tile. For example, Typhon can go anywhere it wants in Iceland. And The Hivemind can affect all of Japan. There was an example earlier where Dewa Penya tried to move to Vietnam, but had to swap to Taiwan since it wasn’t within reach, and action expenditure to get to it was high.

sorry I missed previous turn, church and work consumed me.

The Beast of Tetanko awakes from its slumber. Food. It must find food. It cannot go into a deep sleep--not yet. Even its primitive mind can comprehend that this is a time of great change, and that if it falls into a hunger coma, it may not wake again. Following its senses, it looks for the closest source of abundant energy it can detect, knowing it will likely find man things there...and perhaps, some of its people will be among them.
>Action 1: Move to C2

>>5978538
Sorry for not replying earlier, didn’t have much time to check. Time will be variable, but can be assumed to at least be a couple days. Nothing too long, since militaries are still actively preparing.

The reactors being eliminated are arbitrary. Tiles that are extremely dense will be eliminated slower. But it won’t be 1:1, won’t say that because there’s 50 reactors it provides 50 energy. As long as it’s still green, actions can be used on it. Also only 1 energy per action, even if there’s two reactors.

Shelob’s web finally encompasses the islands. Not only does it stretch throughout the trees and form silken bridges between the landmasses, but it drags close to the water’s surface too. Any aquatic Kaiju is subject to its stickiness the moment they surface. The islands have been taken over by it, and human responses will be slowed significantly.

Shelob’s lair (H19, Unnamed):
>Size: E
>Strength: F
>Stamina: F
>Speed: F
>Special: F
>Shelob’s lair: Kaiju who are not larger than this lair have all Speed rolls lose a degree of success when acting on this tile. Shelob is exempt from this effect.

Additionally, she cocoons countless prey, both sapient and non-sapient. She is the undisputed ruler of these islands, and soon enough, vast quantities of biomass have been collected and preserved.
>Food stores: The owner of this lair may use this to recover 1d3 HP.

Then comes the attack.
Solomon Islands Settlements:

Unfortunately, Shelob’s attack still cannot wipe them all out. They’re too slippery, too small. Just when she leaves the villages alone, thinking they’ve been exterminated, more humans emerge from the rubble with torches days later. She’s not large or fast enough to oversee the entire island chain at once, and the country remains afloat.

Rescuers from Australia are intending on saving the survivors. If the settlements are not obliterated next turn, military assaults will begin.

The storm continues shifting and growing, disrupting the balance of the ocean and sending rippling waves outwards. While the depths hid it last time, they won’t protect Memitim forever. This time, there’s an active effort that consumes energy and protects it from direct assault. It’s ready to avoid the first successful attack that comes its way.

>Memitim has consumed 1 energy > 1/4
>Reality Storm: Memitim gains an increased Degree to its Speed stat this turn, and actively attempts to dodge an incoming attack (Speed vs Speed).

Then comes the twin assaults. The bear is doomed to be struck from the force of their blows!

Reaction:
Arctic Ursa attempts to cleave the storm apart, but fails. It then tries to grapple Mimitim after being struck, but the Reality Storm allows it to slip out of the way. The final strike lands, however, leaving the both of them on even ground. Both are close to being beaten by one another. Losing will temporarily dispel Memitim or force the bear to flee to lick its wounds, while the winner will be able to claim dominance and grow.

The next town, however, is truly pathetic. With only 300 people here, it’s a completely negligible source to wipe from the map. Typhon’s new energy store allows it to collect the psyches of these victims. However, it will gain severely diminishing returns from only assaulting small villages.

>The Typhon gains 1 energy > 1/4

Reaction:
As a nation with no standing army, Iceland is calling for aid. Destroying large swathes of the nation will be easy with its lack of military capability. However, allowing foreign aid to reinforce it, then crushing the capital city will net a Milestone. Reinforcements will arrive next turn.

G.E.L first moves to F6, where it has sensed the American nuclear plants.

Then it begins its assault! The first nuclear power plant it comes across is the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Power Plant in Georgia. The lobster’s path takes it right by Florida, and Hollywood is thrown into an uproar by the proximity of the attack. Once it makes landfall, the G.E.L traverses several hundred kilometers upriver, where it assaults the plant and consumes its nuclear material in short order.

>G.E.L gains 1 energy > 2/4

Reaction:
The United States Armed Forces will target and attack G.E.L for as long as it remains in their territory. As the Kaiju grows stronger, the likelihood of a Special attack being used will increase.

There’s no organisation, no appearance of a terrorist cell or cult, they simply swarm in as groups of individuals, disabling the defenders, who are ill equipped and unwilling to kill these random citizens. The authorities are called to the scene.

Once all resistance ceases, the entity descends from the sky to expertly consume the energy from the reactor. It’s left drained, with none noticing its presence. Japan has plenty of nuclear reactors, and it’ll be able to consistently drain them for quite a while before stocks run dry. No other Kaiju is contesting the cultural birthplace of their kind, giving it free rein to do so.

>The Hive Mind gains 1 energy >1/4

It flies into the air soon after, making it impossible for the turtle to turn East and assault it. By the time the authorities arrive to deal with the riot, The Hive Mind is nowhere to be found. All they see is a reactor that’s been mysteriously drained.

Reaction:
The Thralls are no matched for armed police. Many of their number are killed, and the rest are taken into custody. The police are stumped, boiling it down to a mass hysteria case. None of the Thralls have any answers as to where the nuclear fuel went, nor would they be willing to divulge it without their master’s permission. As all remaining Thralls are in custody, suffering any more damage to their numbers will cause The Hive Mind to lose its minions.

Upwards it goes. After crossing the strait, it finds exactly what it was looking for. Numerous reactors are within sight, spanning Spain and Portugal.

Phantrumpitus wastes no time in assaulting the nuclear reactor. At its size, it’s easily able to shrug off any attack they can mount. It’s not ready to ignore tank shells, but neither are Spanish officials prepared to mobilise strike teams. It successfully rips out the core of the reactor and consumes it, leaving survivors to flee in terror.

>Phantrumpitus has consumed 1 energy > 3/4

As it raises its trunk to sense more energy, it detects additional plants on D10 and D11. The hunting ground that it’s on will have enough to feed it for a while, and it won’t need to move on just yet. It also detects a far stronger source of concentrated energy to the North...

Taiwan turns out to be the right place after all. It can sense nuclear material there, and is eager to feed. Southeast Asia experiences a slight breath of relief as it moves further away from them, turning its attention to other neighbors.

The trip is uneventful, apart from a tanker it collides with. However, at roughly 30 metres, like every other Kaiju, it doesn’t destroy it just from a passing glance.

All the metal eating keeps it nice and comfortable in the meanwhile. It’s no nuclear reactor, but it serves to nourish the creature and strengthen its shell. Not enough to make a difference against other Kaiju, but perhaps if it had the energy to spare, it could become durable enough to ward off more human attacks.

>Stored Metal: Upon building a lair, Dewa-Penyu has the materials to speed up construction of an abode significantly.

The Bear’s icy claws alone are not enough to challenge the energy that’s being used. Unfortunately, it can’t dispel the spell that’s being cast over the arctic, and it has trouble finding the monster within.

The grapple fails, and what the bear thought to be a sure-shot ends up being a grasp against empty air. Savage lashings whip against its skin, drawing icy blood.

However, the bear calms itself and attempts to predict the entity’s emergence. It manages to choose the right direction, and right as more blows strike it, it bites down on the bulk of the alien creature and crushes it partially.

Reaction:
Memitim’s storm causes one of Arctic Ursa’s attacks to fail. The second one lands, but without any defenses of its own, the bear is wounded by the extradimensional invader. Both are equally hurt now. The loser will slink off, and the victor will be able to stand proud.

The reactors are silently taken over by strands of the mushroom. Energy is siphoned from it, powering the Kaiju’s abilities and allowing it to grow its roots even deeper into the earth. With enough radiation, it can permanently increase its range of control, and mass itself into something greater.

>The Shroom gains 1 energy > 3/4

For now, however, it makes use of that energy to dig its roots into the strange two-legged creatures that constantly interact with its fungus growths. It sows the seeds for future manipulation, creating a group of infected humans that it’ll be able to control in the future.

After successfully implanting spores within the humans, it reinforces its territory with reactive puffs that explode upon being struck. These are attempts to ward off invaders, who are likely to burst them when trying to wreak havoc in Argentina.

Planes fly over Yaderevo as it moves West, observing its path of devastation through the forests and fields. The cold parts before its molten flesh. However, no bombs descend on it. No, this thing intrigues the Kremlin, and they want to investigate whether it can be used. Harnessing their own nuclear source may have results outstripping even their reactors.

As it exits Russian soil and begins devouring warheads, their interest only grows. It is devouring the weapons of their enemies, and with the entire world destabilised by creatures popping up everywhere, they can get away with letting it roam free for just a little while.

>Yaderevo gains 1 energy > 4/4

It continues onwards, reaching France! D10. Plenty of nuclear power awaits, but its actions will be devastating countrysides and dense cities.

Reaction:

>Special (E)

It senses that the closest source of energy is down in D4, where Canada has constructed nuclear power plants. It’ll be able to walk along the coast. However, there’s another option before it. Up North, two Kaiju are fighting in a spatial distortion that sends waves crashing into the distant shores. If it can exploit this, it may be able to wade into the melee and defeat one of them, stealing their energy in the process.

State of the World

While still reeling from the emergence of Kaiju, the world is putting together a plan. Developed countries are now ready to fight against them. Attacking cities will result in immediate responses from militaries, which may damage the HP of Kaiju. At Size F, they’re roughly thirty metres tall or long, making them a far cry from skyscraper toppling titans. It’s still bigger than any organic threat humanity has faced.

Please refer to your turn responses to see which tiles I've declared as having reactors, when I replied to your search actions.

The extradimensional being's profile flickers in and out of observable space before rapidly contorting from a series of entwining bands into a rippling sheet, then into something resembling an elongated Klein bottle. Finally, its profile is obscured as the ocean around it erupts into gigantic plumes of foam and water spray.

>But that energy will only carry Shroomy so far.

>It's all about decay. Decay is what gives the glowing ores their power. Decay is what feeds the mushrooms. But decay cannot exist without life, without a cycle. For the mushroom to grow, it must either destroy its host, which is undesirable in the long term, or keep it healthy enough that it can take a share forever. Shroomy intends to do the latter, but better. For he is better than all the other mushrooms. Obviously.
>Action 2: Use the accumulated energy (and Special) to start adapting the plant life around the lair. The plants gather energy from the sun to sustain themselves. But they could do more. Shroomy can mutate the mushrooms, and the plants in the area are basically extensions of its rhizome already. Once they are more efficient, the local plants could simply be molded to transfer part of the gathered energy through the mycelial cords, turning it into more energy easily gathered by Shroomy. But first, Shroomy should try to change the local plants into something that would fits its purpose.

>Now that Shroomy can access the not-quite-rhizome inside the infected bipeds, he must seek to understand just what they are, and how they function. They appear more numerous than any other animal species it has seen so far. They would no doubt make for a fantastic partner to leech off of, both for energy and knowledge. Even unconscious, Shroomy can already glean so much, and it can feel itself growing. So many mini-mushrooms, isolated yet united in a purpose, it seems. The next step is obvious. Shroomy wants to know more. Time to wake them up.
>Action 3: Order the spores inside the Parasitised to stop sedating them. The spores are to relay signals and information only, taking no action to harm or control the host, barring the subject attempting to harm itself, on purpose or not. Once the Parasitised are awake, spend some time and attention learning as much as possible. The sheer number of infected should make up for the slowness of such a non-intrusive method.

"Please. This is serious. Do as instructed."

"Right, Subteniente Goncalvez did not take to the reveal of his infection well."
"He is currently in the psych ward after being restrained by the interrogator and two fellow soldiers. But the circumstances are peculiar. I've taken the liberty of swearing the men to silence. Officially, he was tackled after making threats of suicide. In truth, he lunged for the interrogator's weapon and go it, and proceeded to put it to his temple, but proved unable to pull the trigger...here is he camera footage...with sound."

"...Fuck."
"Complete mental breakdown. I have no doubt he would have done it, had the mushroom let him."
"And if it can stop them, what else can it do..."

I'm hoping this isn't too annoying or stepping on the QM's toes. I'll fully admit that at this point I'm here to get the creative juices flowing rather than be competitive, but you never know where the road less traveled might take you.

Regardless of how this resolves, I will not forget that you guys wasted two of my turns and all of my energy reserves on this pointless skirmish.
I was fully content to spend the early game vibing and systematically lowering the global sea-level. Now, I will devote every opportunity to stunting your development instead.

Turn will be slightly delayed again. I think I’ll have to make it ‘a bit over a day’ instead of 24 hour commitments, since I don’t have quite enough time after work day to account for all actions. Will still do my best to make it regular and maintain momentum.

>>5979282
Don’t worry! It’s more than welcome.

Also, for actions in general, I think I’ll have to make a distinction between stat usages. Strength is for attack, Stamina is more of a passive thing for defense, and Speed is stealth/avoidance in some way. In order to make builds important, there can’t be too much of an overlap, and stats aren’t able to reliably take on each others’ roles. The exception is Special, which is intended to be able to achieve variable effects at the cost of energy. However, I’ll probably say that feeding energy into an action that uses the first three stats will pump up its success rate.

Will clarify more during Turn 4 map update post. I’ll also need to think of how to determine Action order when two actions are in conflict. Probably will say that it’s Action 1 vs Action 1, with the higher speed going first, higher roll as next priority, and then simultaneous action if that’s fully tied. Then on to Action 2 vs 2.

Only Human: Thralls do not gain any stat bonuses from superior size. Receiving damage will reduce their size by a grade.

After scanning, The Hive Mind becomes aware of the trauma lingering in the minds of many Japanese citizens: Fukushima. There is enough leaked fuel in there for The Hive Mind to seize, and since authorities have been failing to measure the ruins for years, attacking it won’t raise any alarm bells. Sending a number Thralls into it will kill them for sure, but if they can passively go in and gather up irradiated material, it can feed without using an action. Some others know of reactors to the West. E-17.

Over the course of the turn, the new thralls walk, drive, or take buses and trains all the way from Genkai to Sendai, where they mob the reactor. The attack on the plant goes well, and with a far larger swarm, the response is slower. They don’t dare to shoot and kill entire mobs of citizens who have marched from up North. They gather up the plutonium rods and leave them in an open field for The Hivemind.

The reactor is fully drained! Shroomy is nourished with precious energy. There are a few more of its kind in the country, but afterwards it’ll have to head off in search of sources. Or create its own, it seems.

>Shroomy has gained 1 energy > 2/4

Argentinia is given a respite, apart from the quiet and non-intrusive reactor destruction. As it focuses on nourishing the shrooms instead of its conquest, the military takes time to make plans. The plants within its lair are gradually transformed into things that can start siphoning energy up.

>Lair upgrade 33%

Rather than grow new thralls, Shroomy focuses on learning from its existing ones. They’re gradually released from their bindings, free to live their lives again. Or not, as they mostly end up in custody. Its own awareness of humankind grows from observing them, and its ability to direct them when the time comes improves. It would be difficult to control these creatures to the point where they do complex operations that go beyond the scope of fighting, but it’s beginning that path.

>Strength (E>F)
Memritim uses its limbs to strike the water rapidly. In the chaos of the situation, it’s not able to muster up its full force, and the effect is weakened. There must be something about the fellow Kaiju that’s inherently interfering with its ability to warp reality. Perhaps these creatures are all so large and dense that the violation of the square-cube rule is already forcing Physics to bend in some way. Regardless, it’s attempting to counter the first attack using Strength directly.

>Special (E>D>C) VS Arctic Ursa Stamina (E)
Sensing an attack coming, Memitim uses its feeding ring to immediately lash its foe when it tries to come close. Making contact with it will produce a counterattack with even greater efficiency, guaranteeing that the foe is punished for striking.

>Memitim has consumed 1 energy > 0/4

>Attack (E) VS Stamina (E)

The third is a simple lash, aiming to finish it off if it somehow avoids the blow.

It intends to wrestle the winner into submission, making use of its fresh state to secure a double victory.

KAIJU CLASH! Memitim VS Arctic Ursa VS The Beast Of Tetanko
((Since I didn’t make the distinction between attack stats clearer, and my last turn post was confusing I’ll let it succeed and play out during this turn for the various parties. Next turn, I’ll stick to it though. Especially for things like attempting to use Stamina as an attack. Sorry for the inconvenience, still working the kinks out.

I’ve decided that it doesn’t make sense to have it go ‘Action 1 vs Action 1’, because that would mean you just get punched before your defensive actions go off, even if you make one that goes ‘try and block the next hit’. The order shouldn’t matter so strongly, so let’s say all defensive ones are considered first, like a sort of shield point, then attacks go in order of their listing.))

The defenses of the great titans are ready. They both begin with a strike, with Memitim using its strength to churn the water and make the giant bear miss with its very first blow! The strike would have connected were it not for the defense attempt.

>Memitim Strength (E>F) VS Ursa Strength (E>F) (Dodged!)

Then the counterattack is set up while the great bear charges its frosty breath, attempting to turn the area into a sub-zero wasteland. It’s a strike that will absolutely pierce defenses.

>Ursa Special (F>E>D) VS Memitim Stamina (F)

>Memitim HP: 0/2

However, the blow from the reality-erasing ring is released at the same time, and is far, far too powerful for the bear to block, just like its own blow.

>Memitim Special (E>D>C) VS Arctic Ursa >Strength (E>D)

>Arctic Ursa HP: 0/3

Both collapse into the ocean, utterly spent from their effort. The Beast of Tetanko shows up moments later, finding no victor. Both are drifting away rapidly, and it finds itself unable to catch up to them and devour their unconscious bodies. However, a massive amount of bioenergy has been spilt. Normally, the winner would automatically absorb it from the loser. But there are no winners, so… It experiences an immediate and COLOSSAL overcharge, with any surplus doomed to decay. The creature is absolutely brimming with power.

>Arctic Ursa has defeated Memitim!
>Memitim has defeated Arctic Ursa!
>The Beast of Tetanko absorbs Memitim’s energy. 1/4 > 5/4
>The Beast of Tetanko absorbs Arctic Ursa’s energy. 5/4 > 9/4. Unused surplus will disappear at the end of the turn.

Arctic Ursa has achieved a milestone. At any time, it may choose to spend 3 actions to Upgrade Size. This fully heals it.
Memitim has achieved a milestone. At any time, it may choose to spend 3 actions to Upgrade Size. This fully heals it.
Defeat: Memitim may not act on the next turn. It may choose any tile along the X Axis it was defeated on to respawn at the end of the turn.

State of the World
World governments are meeting to discuss this crisis. Fingers are being pointed, with nations accusing one another (sometimes outrightly) of holding responsibility. Conspiracies abound online. Secret labs, aliens, bioweapons, illegal waste disposal, nobody knows just where these Kaiju are coming from. Armies are independently responding in some cases, while more remote areas are less likely to get support.

The Kaiju are still growing, and are not yet at the level where they’re beyond humanity’s power to defeat. Governments are already catching on to the fact that nuclear reactors are being targeted, and operations are in place to drain them, in hopes of dissuading attacks.

TURN 4: WARFARE

>Current players:
>dice+3d3
>Action 1
>Action 2
>Action 3

Remember to roll your dice! And if you want to use a specific stat for an action, list out what stat you’d like to use. While the map is highlighted, your Kaiju may not have access to the same information as you, so refer to your turn posts for the specific tiles that you know possess energy sources.

Additionally, please take note of >>5979672 this post. If I find that a stat seems inappropriate for a scenario, I’ll be regarding it as using a different one instead. This is less applicable in freeform actions like using a feat of strength to dig a nest vs using psychic powers to make a pocket dimension, I’ll defer more closely to your stat pick in those cases. But for battles, I’ll stick to the fact that Strength is used to attack, Speed is used to dodge by forcing your speed stat into a conflict with the enemy’s, and Stamina is both the chance you get hit and the ability to roll a block vs attack.

As I’ve calculated so far, you have to MEET the stat to succeed, and active actions take precedence over the passive stat. Defenses are stored up and will erode with successful attacks.

Sorry for the mess this turn, and please let me know if there’s feedback, or if I've missed anything. Busy day. I'm going to be gradually changing formatting and simplifying things, like not posting army and town stats every time they're brought up.

Also, Tetanko, you can evolve a non-size stat, I just hit the character limit.

Late and somewhat hurried post while I'm on break from work. And no fancy interlude today, Sinusitis has been kicking my ass and has cursed me with shit sleep for the past few days.

>Action 1: Drain Buenos Aires nuclear power
>Action 2: Same, unless they've run out. If so, Use energy to continue the lair upgrade.
>Action 3: Keep learning from the Parasitized. With any luck, they will know more about the power Shroomy felt somewhere up north. It looks like they were harnessing it here, so it must be well known, and like it, these bipeds seem able to communicate over large distances, though the means they use to do so are...perplexing.
Technically, I don't need to search since, like Embalse and BA, the Brazilian reactors are easily available knowledge, but I'm fishing for at least an estimate of how much energy is in there, at least until they start shutting some down. I know using else:if statements in actions can get annoying.
I'm guessing the 33% progress came from the one, so I'm hoping a 2 or 3 would see it finished this turn. The early I set it up, the earlier Shroomy gets its investment back, and more!


In the meantime, I'm making plans on expanding the Parasitized using a new infection process. The soldiers were unconscious for a week, but only the first couple of days were spent growing the mycelium in their bodies, the rest was Shroomy keeping them sedated for study. That's fine for the defenses, as it puts attacking humans in a controlled coma, but if civilians start dropping in the streets, they'll panic. But a longer infection, with the mycelium only growing during sleeping hours, along with a hint of sedatives so they don't wake up and notice the growing pains. Still would take a turn, but might help reduced awareness gain? If it sounds too broken in terms of stealth, I can scrap the idea and say that a coma is unavoidable due to the infection process. Your call, QM.

For once in its life, the Beast is full. Instinctively, it knows that it's stomach is almost empty, such was its haste to exploit the titanic clash, but it feels so filled with vigor its as if it might explode. In fact...some of that energy felt rather unstable. Feeling it was better to be safe then sorry, the Beast let a great chunk of the titanic energy in its veins seep into its muscles and fat, strengthening its brute force capacity, before letting the excess unstable energy slough off harmlessly.

More of the kaiju’s mind control sweeps over the residents of the nearby cities, swelling the ranks of the enslaved even further. They’re reduced to mindless goons who operate off instinct and knowledge, shedding all self preservation until it sees fit to micromanage them on a further level.

Fukushima is miraculously drained of radiation. There are workers on-site who are seeing to the release of treated and formerly contaminated wastewater, but a quick use of The Hive Mind’s abilities places them under control too. As it didn’t sacrifice a large number of them in order to harvest the vast amount of irradiated material inside Fukushima, it’s forced to spend time doing it manually.

>The Hive Mind gains 1 Energy >1/4

Those who are continuing to assault nuclear reactors are soon attacked by the military. Soldiers have wised up to the fact that the nuclear reactors are being attacked by Kaiju worldwide, and this certainly has something to do with it. Especially when it comes to getting answers. However, they can’t stop the tide forever. Eventually, more fuel rods are pried out of the reactor and dragged outside, with the thralls having no regard for the fact that they’ve handled it unsafely, and their hands and skin will fall off in a week. The handful who take charge of this deadly task are negligible in the long run.

>The Hive Mind gains 1 Energy >2/4
((Yeah, lair has to wait for next turn))

Reaction:
The JSDF has now caught on to the fact that these people are being controlled. While political turmoil is erupting because of this, they’re fully willing to shoot to kill now. Thralls will be vulnerable to attack as they research this. Additionally, there are a large number of thralls in custody, and if directed well, they can weave a narrative to further The Hivemind’s goals.

Yummy metal! The previous layer has sloughed off after a bombing, and the turtle is forced to create a new layer of alloy by infusing its energy into the raw material. At least it hasn’t felt pain since that first tank shot!

>Dewa-Penyu has consumed 1 energy >1/4
>Stamina increased against next attack.

The Manshan reactor is drained dry. They have one more set of reactors the turtle can reach. After that, it’ll have to head West to China in order to harvest energy. Fortunately, this doesn’t require it to migrate all the way to a new grid.

>Dewa-Penyu has gained 1 energy >2/4
>Dewa-Penyu has gained 1 energy >3/4


Reaction:
The Taiwanese government is protesting against this unrequested military aid, as it’s a violation of their sovereignty, but are too desperate to push the point and truly request that they leave. Notably, Winnie is very smug about this.

Seeing that the attacks against the turtle don’t seem to be working, the Chinese attempt to directly bomb its nest, in hopes of making it leave after smashing its makeshift metal home. However, their weapons suffer from a decreased degree of success against it.

Reaction:

After preparing their operation for several days, the Ejército de Tierra shoot! Tanks fire at the cocoon, and planes drop payloads directly onto it.

The tanks are no match for Typhon’s powers. They’re easily lifted into the air and crushed, with their inhabitants being squeezed into bits of flesh. The military is forced to stop shooting once it moves within range of the nuclear reactor. They’ve failed to harm it, and they’ve taken losses. They pull back for now, making the mistake of giving it the chance to absorb more energy.

>Typhon has consumed 1 energy > 1/4

Within, it’s able to rip apart the reactors and absorb the bountiful energy. Typhon’s energy reserves grow. It can store them away in its lair if it wishes, but doing so will leave it unattended. For now, it hasn’t reached its cap, and no energy is wasted.

The Embalse reactor is drained, and Shroomy has to resort to Atucha next. Soon enough, Argentina is dry of nuclear power, with the reactors taken over by mycelial networks. The fungal network will have to go elsewhere to get that power, especially since their own plan to produce it hasn’t yet bore fruit.

>Shroomy gains 1 energy > 1/4
>Shroomy gains 1 energy > 2/4

The minds of the minions tell it that H8 and I8 both have nuclear plants. But it’ll be encroaching on Brazil if it goes in, earning the ire of another country.

((In order to simplify things for myself, I’ll only say that tiles run out of reactors at the end of turns, instead of during. So if one feels like it’s about to be drained dry, you can use as many as you want on it, so that actions aren’t cancelled. Try and avoid if/else statements otherwise though, a binary set of conditions is fine, but def not in combat. I’ll go for the first action stated if there’s conflict.))

Reaction:
Argentina makes a concentrated effort to attack the mushroom clusters. Satellite imaging locates the largest sources of radiation, where the energy is stored, and firebombs are dropped. The infected are still kept in quarantine all throughout, and they’re discussing dire solutions.

>Strength (E) vs Stamina (E)

The beast evolves! The energy is metabolised, allowing it to increase its strength greatly. It now has the destructive potential to contend directly with the two that it stole energy from, with much to spare. A discharge escapes from its body, filling the waters around it with radiation that nourishes the sea life, but is wasted otherwise.

Many nations are now coming to the conclusion that they have to pool their resources and fight together. Of course, many others still believe that they can use these giant monsters to their advantage, and influence geopolitics. Others are hiding secret weapons from their so-called allies, refusing to pull them out even in this time of war.

Attacks on the Kaiju will be increasing from here on out, so long as they linger in inhabited lands. Any Kaiju that ends up within the borders of a United Nations country will be attacked at the end of the turn. Some are even charging up for dedicated attacks on targets.

Shroomy is annoyed. And of two minds. The energy is right there, up north. Ripe for the taking. It has never balked at letting some mycelial cords wither and die once they were no longer useful, but the bipeds are different. Like a thousand individual mushrooms, instead of one entity. Each so full of ideas, perspectives. It could do so much if it worked together with them. And now they're about to tear themselves apart. It understands now. The language, the fear, the...politics.
But the humans don't know everything.
They don't know about the new spores. They don't know that one can be infected or carrying spores without falling into a coma. They don't suspect just how much it has infiltrated Buenos Aires. And now Shroomy know where those that want to take away its newest hosts/toys/best-friends-forever are. And now both Shroomy and the humans are about to realize that mushrooms can also have stubbornness issues and a mean streak.
>They fear the Shroom, and wish to kill it. But what if they are shroom? They are individualist. They would not destroy themselves to "save" their species. Not these ones. Not like the spores would let them.
>Action 1: Shroomy will try to go for a leap-frogging infection using the new spores. Starting from the mycelial cords spread around Buenos Aires when it took the nuclear materials there. Clouds of new spores, aimed towards identified buildings, recovered from the Parazitized's memories. The Casa Rosada. The National Congress. And news stations. Those will be easiest. Plenty of "reporters", some kind of information gathering and spreading sub-caste, are lingering around the reactors. And they often meet with the ruling class it targets, in those fancy rooms for meetings. And outside, when they press around them waving objects around. Probably some kind of mating ritual? Whatever it may be, it just needs one to get a lungful of spores, then meet with the rest of the ruling class to spread it like wildfire. And by the end of the week, they won't have a choice but to listen. Shroomy must only learn how to talk.
>Action 2: Research proper communication with and between the Parazitized. Direct imprinting of words may not work, the sheer size difference makes another puffball incident likely.

Is it efficient to waste a whole turn and possibly the last of Shroomy’s energy on a social gamble in a Kaiju game I mostly cam up with while half-asleep? Probably not. Will it even work? Maybe. Do I care? Ehh, I'm here to weave an interesting story and have fun doing it. Honestly this has been doing wonders for my writer's block, so thanks for rolling with it so far QM!

Assuming this hare-brained plan is even allowed (though between the actions I've spent on the humans, the spores and the intel, and the Hive Mind's own ideas, I like to think I'm not completely pulling this one out of my ass to rise up to the challenge you threw at me, QM), and succeeds, I do have a sneaky couple of plans Shroomy could use its new friends in high places for. Also, for the language, given how I started with news broadcasts, the idea of Shroomy communicating by blasting fragments of Spanish television and radio in people's brains tickles my fancy. Like a psychic Bumblebee. I can’t wait for it to find out about soap operas on top of news reporting.

Also, thank you dice gods for either approving or setting me up for a fall sometime soon, I appreciate it either way

Description: An almost Manatee-like Kaiju, with armored dorsal spikes to absorb sunlight so he can move faster. Don't be fooled by his tough exterior, he's actually super nice and playful! He is omnivorous, but his main diet consists of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, typically found deep in ocean vents, but he can also eat most anything through his vacumous maw. Hailing from the gulf regions, he's a pretty chill guy to be around, and will sometimes help other Kaiju find food. Speaking of, he will sometimes regurgitate his food, in addition to added solar energy, in a plasma-esque beam to defend and distract. He can also shine the solar energy from his back, providing a healing glow for nearby life, as a way to ensure he has a food source in the area he leaves for when he comes back. This has been noted to energize other Kaiju. His call is low and billowing, like a baritone fog horn.

The latent psionic potential that humanity has is magnified and manipulated by the Kaiju, until it can manifest physically. The labyrinth begins to come into existence, taking over residential areas and cities. It’s still not strong enough to completely subsume Tokyo, or larger cities, but it can easily create a lair within a rural region. This will make for an excellent commune for the Thralls, now that they’ve been pulled away from their lives and abandoned their responsibilities.

>Lair Progress (Labryinth, E18): 33%

There are few nuclear sites that are completely within The Hive Mind’s territory. In order to directly control them, it’ll have to mount an attack on the power plant and enthrall its inhabitants. The few regions that have been overtaken already are quickly looted and left out in the open for The Hive Mind to pick up at its leisure.

>The Hive Mind gains 1 Energy > 3/4

The JSDF is scanning for Kaiju using satellite imaging. Its attempts to rise up in the sky potentially coincide with this, unfortunately…


>Speed (F>G)

Reaction:
The JSDF attempts to identify and attack whatever is causing these mass possessions. However, in order to do so, it must first locate it. And locate it they do. Satellites pick up on the mass flying high above Japan’s airspace. Planes are soon sent to attack, aiming to gun this UFO down.

As warned, an ICBM containing an experimental weapon is launched directly at the lobster, right as its carapace hardens again.

Shelob’s rampage finally bears fruit. Her rage devastates the island, finishing off the paltry civilisation that has sprouted across them. Even with evacuation efforts underway, she manages to crush Honiara, as well as the Australian forces who are trying to safeguard it. With only 700,000 people on this island, the country is essentially destroyed by her rampage. They’ll recover someday, as scattered villages, but she’s punched them into the stone age.

Shelob has achieved a milestone. At any time, it may choose to spend 3 actions to Upgrade Size. This fully heals it.

Those who have been captured are collected into large balls of biomass. Her lair is already full of these food pockets, and they’ll help her heal herself far quicker than other Kaiju typically can.

Typhon uses its psychic powers to assault Berlin, crushing minds and buildings alike. But it’s no small town. It hasn’t attacked a large city like this before, and finds itself unprepared to completely flatten it. Soon enough, it leaves the city behind to go for the nuclear reactors in the region.

Reaction:
The German army sends more planes to blast Typhon. They can’t use bombers, so they have to gun straight into its mass with their fighter jets. Tanks can’t harm the roiling mass either, at least not without blowing up their own city in the event that the shells pass through it.

The tiny towns in Alaska are either out of the way, or too small to even be notable. It crushes them with no effort spent at all, then pulls their buildings together to create a new home in the icy North. Perhaps if it can do something to gain the loyalty of man, they will cluster to it and worship it again. However, this will be difficult with the state of the world.

The brand new mushrooms rapidly infect citizens and officials alike, spreading like wildfire through Argentinia. The ruling class is directly targeted, and soon enough, the government has been infiltrated by spores that they can’t detect. It’s not foolproof, nor all-encompassing, but it’s enough to produce an effect.

Then comes the miraculous offer. It manifests as visions and dreams over time, that they’d only think to talk to their loved ones about. But soon, the communication is too strong to deny. That’s when the government realises it’s being controlled, and spoken to. There’s an immediate panic, as they try and handle this massive breach of national security. However, after a period of time, they calm down and listen to its offer. Nobody likes the idea of being possessed by spores. They value their individuality too much, and many are furious with the idea that this thing has already fused with them on such a deep level. But they see the need to safeguard their country from the monsters that are wrecking their world.

Shroomy has, somehow, made contact with the Argentinian government. Attacks have ceased, and they’re actively listening. Shroomy must spend 1 action per turn on active negotiation in order to not have the situation escalate. Actions such as taking over reactors or physically affecting Argentinia will destabilise this, as there are many within the party and military who are now taking efforts to avoid infection, for fear that it affects the mind. Javier Milei, president of Argentinia himself, is one of the victims, but he can be killed and replaced if they deem that the infected are completely compromised.

It’s now up to a giant kaiju to navigate this political sphere. That, or completely overtake their minds. But that will mean war.

Satisfaction seeps through nerve-like coiled rhizome. The bipeds are proving receptive. But now Shroomy is so very hungry...no matter, it had planned for this. This...politics. It thinks it understands the basics. Tell them what they want to hear, give them something, and ask for something in return.

>Action 1: Assuage their fears. (Locked negotiation action). Show the Parasitised that they are still themselves, explain the limitation on hurting the mushroom and other infected. Show the rest of the government that they are still in control, and that a loss of control would be very visible and impossible to conceal.
>Action 2: Give ground in the negotiations. Pull back and cannibalize parts of the Lair closest to the cities, where the army had been bombing it. The bipeds's communication is not as all-encompassing as The Mushroom had believed. Doing this will apparently cause the bipeds of the country to be more favorable to their leader caste for their perceived "victory" over the "threat". The Argentinian government receives accolades from the public and other nations. Shroomy gains favor. The extra material gets shuffled back into advancing the "advanced photosynthesis megaflora" project (APM). Hmm, strange. Must be all those three letter acronyms the bipeds seem fond of using for everything rubbing off on it...
>Action 3: Propose a deal. The Argentinians want a defender. Shroomy needs energy, at least until it can produce its own. It is willing to not attack any more reactors. It doesn't need to. Shroomy understands that the bipeds are wary, and are now moving the delicious energy away from the places it sensed it in. Shroomy also knows that "money can be exchanged for goods and services". Shroomy understands that the right incentive can lead those individualist bipeds to act against the greater interest of their...group? Clump? Whatever confusing hive-thing they have going on. The Brazilians, Mexicans, and basically everyone will be moving nuclear fuel around. Shroomy want the Argentinian government to get in on it. Underhanded deals, corruption, smuggling, whatever it takes so that some of these fissile materials find their way into the Argentinian forest. Some of it is bound to go missing anyway. Tch, such inefficiencies... Although, do make it clear that Shroomy needs to grow stronger to defend itself and any allies. If the Argentinian government cannot provide some..."starter capital", it will have to go fetch it directly, with all the diplomatic incidents that Argentina's "under control" mushroom problem spreading into Brazil would have for everyone involved...
Shroomy finds it may just enjoy politics after all! So nice to have someone else to talk to!


(And now for phase 2. Came up with action 2 on the spot, not sure if it'll be accepted, basically using the lost hit point or consuming another to advance the upgrade instead of energy. Dangerous, but that's the fun of it. Just need to hang on long enough to get producing.)

The realm is finally complete! The veil of energy is weaker here. However, The Hive Mind learns more about the potential of this psionic neighbourhood in the meantime. It discovers that it can transplant pieces of this lair throughout Japan, allowing it to grow and subsume neighborhoods and towns. It doesn’t work on a mass scale, for there are 125 million living minds to contest with, but it’ll make it easier to gain new minions. Instead of having to enthrall populations, it can seed locations with this new lair, and induct its occupants over time.

However, choosing particularly well-traveled places will increase awareness of its actions, as it’ll be impossible to hide this strange realm from too many people at once.

The Hive Mind is under attack by jetplanes, which are performing strafing attacks on it at high altitude. It attempts to directly control those pilots, and gain firepower via the weapons that humanity uses. The attempts to attack it this turn are foiled by the fact that their own pilots are turning on them. There’s a period of confusion at first, as planes are shot out of the air. Eventually, a strong enough response is mustered up to gun down the rogue pilots.

The JSDF is highly rattled by this event, and keeps it a secret from the public. Engaging the creature like this is deemed dangerous, and they pull back.

>Special (E>D) vs Stamina (F)
>The Hive Mind has consumed 1 energy > 2/4 Energy

This, combined with the creature’s escape into the sky, makes it immune to detection and attack for this turn.

The Japanese Intelligence Industries have taken drastic measures. Several members of the cult have been tortured in an attempt to see if they can obtain any info. Other members of the various agencies have pooled together information, and have just barely begun to discover the presence of an American facility on their soil that allegedly looked into mind control tech a while ago.

The maelstrom grows and swirls, taking in nuclear power and growing larger. It’ll now have an easier time directly avoiding attacks by spending actions. While it’s sitting still and metabolising this energy, however, the army begins a secondary strike. The previous one has done damage to it, emboldening them.

>Typhon has consumed all energy > 0/4

Memitim is able to repeat its reality-weakening motion in a different spot. It’s too risky to continually destabilise the same point of the physical realm, or it might create an effect that could erase even itself, but through effort and constant motion, it’s able to convert matter into energy again. Planet earth loses a negligible amount of its actual mass, permanently stolen by this interdimensional invader.

Not even the Mass Obliterator has managed to wound the Giant Enemy Lobster. In response to the strike, it crushes several more military installations, destroying anything that resists its efforts to claim more energy. Even a few planes are shot out of the sky by cavitation bursts. The move into the ocean causes them to mobilise ships instead, as they attempt to harry it until it leaves US Soil entirely. However, this pre-emptive strike has left them hesitant to approach. Especially after failing to use their bomb, which has destroyed numerous parks across the city G.E.L was attacking, as well as any animal bigger than a roach.
G.E.L has achieved a milestone. At any time, it may choose to spend 3 actions to Upgrade Size. This fully heals it.

Reaction:
The Argentinian cabinet is calmed substantially by this claim. However, in the end, it comes from the mouths of the infected, who have too much at stake to tell the truth in the event that their cognition has been overtaken. Even demonstrations of what true control would look like on animals do not remove this fear. The loss of bodily control and Ego death is ingrained in the human psyche. They cannot accept the mushroom like this. However, attacks on the creature stop while it’s performing this negotiation. It has time to repair itself and fix the damage they did earlier.

The withdrawing of mycelium from the power plant and usage on building a better lair is a strong peace offering, showing that it’s a monster capable of concession. This already differentiates it from the feral beasts wreaking havoc across earth. With little choice, Argentina begins making a deal with its neighbours, attempting to convince them of the need for nuclear material. Underhanded deals, offers to store materials from decommissioned factories, and barrels of raw material for arms trading are all undergone.

KAIJU CLASH! Arctic Ursa VS Shelob
>Shelob’s lair: Kaiju who are not larger than this lair (E) have all Speed rolls lose a degree of success when acting on this tile. Shelob is exempt from this effect.

Icy claws descend on the colossal spider. Her carapace isn’t hard enough to defend against it, and the far larger beast smashes her into pulp. Even though her web slows it as it rampages through the island chain, it doesn’t need speed to crush her. Bioenergy spills forth, and the bear absorbs it, gaining a distinct advantage as it roars in victory.

>Strength: (E>F) VS Stamina (F)
>Shelob HP: 2/2>0/2

>Arctic Ursa has defeated Shelob!
>Arctic Ursa absorbs Shelob’s energy. 0/6 > 4/6

However, Shelob was already raring to evolve, with the full recovery that such a thing would bring. As the bear celebrates, her body tumbles straight into a reserve of food that she’s set aside for such a situation. The biomass and atomic energy that’s inherent to her species combine. She feels that sense of pride and rage at wrecking a whole country, and grows rapidly within the cocoon.

Before the bear can leave, or try and finish her off, she’s already done bursting forth, fully recovered and ready for round two…

>Size: F>E
>HP: 2/2>3/3
>Shelob does 1 more damage against smaller Kaiju
>Energy cap increased to 2/6, must fill it to increase stat.

State of the World

The Kaiju feel a shift in the air. From deep parts of the world, there are stirring motions and waves of energy. Nuclear tests are being conducted, artifacts are being used, and there are even signals coming from high, high above. The world challenges them, and while most of them are bent on domination and destruction, there are developing threats which could become just as strong.

Increasing Size:
>Size is increased by spending 3 actions after achieving a major milestone.
>Kaiju deal 1 extra damage to Kaiju of a lower size than them, in the event that they hit.
>For each extra size they have, Kaiju may move 1 extra tile during a single use of their movement action during their turn.
>Evolving fully restores HP, to account for their HP cap increasing.
>Evolving size transforms an energy cap from 4 to 6.

Was thinking on how to rule Arctic Ursa’s simultaneous attack. It’d leave Shelob with 0/2 hp, after all. But I did say that upgrading size is a full recovery. So in the end I thought that it’d give both the defeat bonus and allow for a heal.

Also, sorry for the delay. Please let me know if I've forgotten any rolls or pasted any wrong info.
