I've been waiting for this :)

the jams of the forest invented a way to keep track of events by giving each form of a bead a certain constenant and each colour a vowel. together these beads can become a syllable.

>>1091586
Didn't they already have a written language back in the previous thread? Does that mean this is not a new development but a retcon?

>>1091710
probably a retcon, either way a cool idea

should we still wait for that one guy to do the thing?

>>1091741
he said it would take a while. I don't want to put too much stress on him.

if any one new comes in they can check the old thread

Perhaps add a faction that consists of former military and others seeking fortune in war. A roving army for hire known as: The Bloody Bastards.

>>1091934
add it yourself, thats the point of this quest: add your ideas to the lore

The Bloody Bastards.
Led by John One-Eye, a general from a far off land where there is no such thing as loyalty to a liege only fighting for whoever is handing over the gold. He traveled the world gathering troops from many places. Most proficient in swordplay but also a devastating archer unit. The Bloody Bastards are well known across all lands as the most force legion money can buy.

Any wishing to join must not only seek out the horde but manage to defeat John's lieutenants in hand to hand combat. The order of successiom goes by whoever is strongest, gaining rank is only possible by killing the commander above you. This legion is not cheap and only those living in opulence can possibly hope to hire them.

They are currently aimlessly wandering the land in search of conflict or any jobs for smaller parties from their army. John is growing tired of wandering and is looking to take a city to rule himself and to base his men out of.

>>1092026
what race are they made of? I'd imagine psumerians man or maybe ygari, or perhaps race does not matter?

actually this is probably my fault for never mentoining race. I'll get to that

>>1092097
Just a mix of race. Money is king and race, gender, age mean nothing as long as you're a fierce warrior.

>>1091710
nope, they have a calendar system tho..

>>1092107
I'm just going to assume to that's everything but the obvious exceptions, such as dellings, plantkins and over such races

>>1091545
The Legions of Stone led by their king Grufftang bypassed the territory of ygari without any incident however when they came upon the outskirts of Tesseli where a skirmish broke out between the two factions that mortally wounded king Gruff.and brought him into a coma leaving his son Prince Gormatoth the meek however before the day was done he earned a new name, Gormatoth the vengeful. The legion then marched on to the city of tesseli and began massacring all the dwellers they could find and feeding them to their king who healed much quickly with the help of the flesh from the dwellers though instead of dying the king was put into a deep slumber leaving the prince to lead his people and his first action was to declare war with the dwellings and his second was to send his comatose father back to gruffholm.

Actually, **I** wanna add one thing before I go do /qst/ homework

After the Elven weapon caused a discontinuity between the east and west gateway, a great water had been pouring through the West Gateway, causing damage to the Scientarium and the Rift Sea. However, this discontinuity created a perpetual tidal energy as water poured out of the west gate, into the ocean, then eventually back through the east gate. This perpetual energy destabilized the already tore fabric of reality.

One evening at sunset in the east, there were terrible explosions at the Gateway sites that could be heard almost all around the globe. No one was harmed as the Gateways were now out to sea and much less used, but when the seas settled then Gateways were nowhere to be seen.

At that same moment a new gateway appear geographically between the two former gateway sites. Its appearance was the same as the previews gateways, but nothing or no one that enter was ever seen or heard from again.

Rolled 2 (1d6)

And one more 'cause I've been dwelling on the this one all day:

Some of Erebong's generals and warlords have come to question his leadership. As a show of strength, Erebong holds a warrior's tournament with the leadership of the Pure Elf Coalition on the line.

Roll for results:

1 - Erebong crushes and kills all of his competition, solidifying his tyranny.

2 - Erebong wins honorably, gaining respect among his people.

3 - Erebong wins dishonorably, keeping his position of power but spreading more doubt among his people

4 - Erebong loses and one of his warlords or generals takes power from him

5 - Upset: A lowly soldier wins the competition and earns the right to claim power

6 - GREATER UPSET: An OUTSIDER, perhaps an Urpean or Dwelling warrior, wins the competition. Erebong is dead and there is political upheaval.

Very nice, anything you think would be nice to add to The Bloody Bastards?

The Dwellings send a team of researchers inside the golden sphere.
How many people are in the team? What equipment do they carry? What do they find inside the sphere?
Please be consistent with the fact that neither the sphere nor the Dwellings possess magical properties.

Due both to the loss at the east gateway and the warrior tournament, the elven army suffers huge casualties. To remedy this, Erebong orders the elven scientists and mages to begin work on a new project: the creation of supersoldiers. The result of this project were the incredibly powerful chimeras, horrifying fusions of sentient, animal, plant and machine. Their main advantage, however, was that no single chimera is like another. All chimeras have different weak points and different behaviours, meaning that when someone defeats a chimera he can't just apply the same method of murder to all others, he needs a specific method for each other. And since chimeras come in squads rather than alone, this quality makes them incredibly hard to defeat.

>>1091545
There's an international body that is dedicated on the deliverance of letters, missives, and packages called the Lily Company,
The company prides itself in its ability to deliver these items without any damages under a reasonable time frame and without the risk of people scrying the contents. (although some nobles/merchants still hold suspicious distaste on the service)
they are funded by numerous cities and guilds whom desire for them to open up offices in their areas as to provide the merchants, nobles, and commonfolk the ability to communicate or deliver packages to different parts of the known world.

The jams from New Colony have reportedly started raiding ygari and elven settlements. Numurous bandits and other outsiders have joined them as the news of a free city spread fast through the world.

This news was also heard by the jams of the forest island, and with the introduction of the lily company the leader send a message to their long lost family.

1. The people of gnepia send ships and make a pact with the forest jams

2. The people of gnepia send ships and make a ambassy in the forest and the other way around as they have become too different to form one nation

3. The people of gnepia send ships and go back again after a friendly meeting

4. The people of gnepia send ships and are seen as dishonored and banished from the forest

5. The people if gnepia send ships, get into a fight, lose some people and contact

6. The people of gnepia send ships, get into a big fight, start a war.

The Knogg is a large aquatic mammal living in colder parts of the world, such as the Snowapean territory, Gneep island, the southmost plantkin island and Horka Bork territory.
It shares it's evolutionary ancestor with the Horka Bork, but does not grow nearly as large, the biggest specimens measuring only about 3 meters in length.
They have thick layers of fat and are hunted by Snowapeans, Horka Bork and occasionally by Gneep for their meat. This meat tastes delicious to them but is incredibly foul for most other sentients.

Imitating the canoes used by the Jams and Plantkin that came to the Gneep Desert, the Gneep have started to make their own type of boat, which uses the Gneeps' telekinetic powers in conjuction with mechanical laws of physics to achieve higher speeds than most other ships of it's size. This type of aquatic transport is manned by at least three Gneeps, two powering the engines and one making sure the boat is not toppling over.
The Gneeps have decided to send these boats in different directions to organize colonies like the Jam and the Plantkin were doing. ( Rolling to see how many teams reach their destinations)
To differentiate which boat is which, the Gneeps have carved their symbols on the boat hulls.

Rolling for where the boats go.

Because all boats were sent in different directions I will reroll if two or more colonist groups end up in the same place.

Just asking
Are dream demons Conan?

>>1096100
yeah they are and the forefather of the horka borkas just released the largest one possible

Their is a ring embedded with many jewels which was created by the scientist barbet the wise. He created this as his legacy before he died sentries ago. The ring is a almost alien device which grants photographic memory and extreme thinking speed to its current wearer has well granting the vast intelligence of barbet himself. The wearer loses the great memory and thinking speed and intelligence once it's taken off. Many battles have been fought over it and it's currently residing somewhere among the ruins of a old civilisation in the southern mainland awaiting its next wearer.
This device is known as the ring of the thinker

Rolled 5 (1d6)

Some of The comatose king had never made it to gruffholm as his body was changed by the flesh of the dwellers making it weak and scrawny the same happened to the few horkas that fed upon the dwellers though unlike the king they reaped the benefits of the feast. The horkas that ate the dwellers turned blue within a fortnight and by the end of the month their figure became more slender and their movement more elegant however they lost their strength and lessened their immunity to magic or disease though they were still much more resilient compared to the other races.

Rolling for the horka's reaction

1-2 UNPURE MUST PURGE

The Pookas, sick of getting their hats wet in the rain, came up with an idea: Build giant hats to live in and stay nice and dry! The idea caught on like wildfire, and soon there were two giant hat cities: Pookaburg to the north and Bookapurg to the south!

A meteorite fell from the heavens onto Mt. Jumbawumba on Ooga Booga Island! The Ooga Boogas, after a couple ritual circles and chants, remove the debris to find what appears to be a giant stone torso. After receiving a revelation from the stone head, the Ooga Boogas use all their might and magic to heave the stone head onto the top of the torso. The head and the torso lock together seamlessly, and the stone head lets out a shout that the whole world could hear. "Check out these ROCK HARD abs!"

>>1097440
The Gneeps were friends with the colonists though, so the Plantkin and the Jams are not in danger.

>>1097794
Examining the crater left by the meteorite and comparing it to the crater sea gives the Ooga Booga a revelation: the crater sea was not the result of an attack by Pakkadians, but of a meteorite crash! Thinking that the crater sea will wield another part of their God, they travel to the center of the crater sea and to the cavern beneath which lies the golden city.

>>1096505
The Dwellings decide to acquire the ring to speed up the research of the golden sphere.

The super-dreamon released by Horka Bork forefather now inhabits the mind of Erebong Twinklespark, the elven ruler. Due to this foreign presence in his mind, Erebong becomes even more insane than he has been.

I'll let their respective creators handle that, but for now I present a NEW race!

Another "meteorite" falls on the island to the southeast of the Pure Elf Coalition. BUT, it wasn't actually a meteorite but instead an alien spaceship! A colony ship in fact, and the ones inside were the reclusive but scientific Greys! Their spaceship was badly damaged and now they must survive on their own.

They quickly get to work and build a settlement, and the new city of Zabeem is formed! The Greys eventually grow so that they spread across the island, naming their new nation Splutnik.

A team of 10 dwellings can fit inside the sphere. Some are armed with weapons, but others are simple researchers. Let's find out what happens with the Golden Sphere!

1. All that work for nothing...while the sphere does some spiffy stuff nothing inside works!

2. The sphere houses mysterious pods made out of a glasslike material and full of strange liquid. They begin opening, one by one, and a new, peaceful race steps out from them. (Race design can be figured out.designed after the roll

3. Same as above, but they're angry and violent as fuck

4: The sphere re-opens the wormhole that was open before.

5. The sphere is a matter teleportation device that can send brave souls on a one-way trip to any part of the continent

6. The sphere is full of treasures and knowledge that brings the ones who opened the sphere a great technological boost

>>1098168

Oh? It seems the Golden Sphere is actually a wormhole machine! It can not only open and close the wormhole that closed recently but it can also be programmed to open one from Morkador to the Snowapeans, one from the Jams' Ancestral Coves to Pabyssina, and one from the Gneep Desert to the northern tip of the Pookas' territory. These can be turned on and off at will by whoever holds the sphere. Pretty neato!

>>1098168
But how does the sphere open the wormhole if it was established in the previous thread that it does not use magic?

>>1098192
>>1098190
The sphere opens the wormholes not through magic, but through quantum physics.

>>1097845
News of this and rumours of the rings properties spread like a disease

>>1096505
To let everyone know the ring is not magic. The technology in it is simply so advanced and like I said almost alien that not even the greatest minds in the world can understand it.
Barbet was known to have what themed like endless knowledge and making many scientific breakthroughs

The infected Pakkadians start displaying even stranger behaviours than before. While normal Pakkadians spend their nights plagued by nightmares and insomnia, the infected report having good dreams in which they can hear a quiet, angelic voice, which they attribute to Senkidu. Due to this, many Pakkadians try to become infected in disregard of possible repercussions.
On an unrelated note, the Pakkadians patrolling the crater sea can now hear distorted howls coming from the direction of the cavern leading to the golden city every now and then. They have also found mutilated corpses of Ooga Boogas washed up on the shore, red crystals growing from them.
What is the Pakkadian government's reaction to the corpses?

>>1098372
About 20% of the Pakkadian population is infected at this point.

>>1097877
The Ygari are being attacked on all sides. They join together in larger tribes, and use their magic to create force fields around these small towns.

>>1098743
The elves see the congregations of Ygari as preparations for the creation of armies (which is not true because the Ygari are pacifists). They obviously don't want that, and as such use their superweapon more. The Ygari territory now looks like swiss cheese, riddled with many holes with a radius of around 20 kilometers each.

Rolled 4 (1d6)

The Ooga Boogas, determined to get their god put back together, muster up their courage and put magical hex barriers around themselves to prevent them from falling victim to the red stone curse. What will happen?

3-4: The ooga boogas find the right arm of Jumbawumba!
5: The expedition is kill and turned into crystal zombies which go and fuck up everything nearby
6. The Ooga Boogas find a great treasure! (Will roll again to find out what it is if this happens)

>>1099502

The Ooga Boogas emerge victorious, with the right arm of Jumbawumba! They painstakingly haul it up Jumbawumba Mountain and put it on the torso. It also locks into place seamlessly, as if they were meant to be put on there. "Thanks for giving me a HAND there!" can be heard in a deafening voice throughout the world.

After having spent much of his youth traveling the lands of Scarralan, Leorik O'nion - an onion man of humble origins - eventually came upon the Scientarium, home of the Order of Knowledge. This was many years before the gateway incident which would come to separate the Scientarium from the mainland.

Leorik was welcomed by the order, they opened their doors and Cordyspark-filled pockets for him. Here he spent many years of his adult life acquiring knowledge and exploring the mysteries of the world. He wrote his Seeker's thesis on the magical sculptures of his homeland, exploring their potential by making up theoretical events and deducing the outcome. After finishing the thesis and graduating to become a fully fledged Seeker of the order he felt unfulfilled. He knew what he- No! What all of plantkindom had to do - Seize the means of Plantation!

And so he returned home to spark the juiciest revolution and following civil-war that all of plantkindom had ever seen!

The Plantkin Isles became divided into the Plantationist Plants' Republic (PPR) and the Traditionalist Rock Smoochers (TRS).

The PPR is a fully fledged state, led by Leorik O'nion. They believe that the stone sculptures should be used to bring life to even more plantkin, and to create produce for the plantkin isles to export, allowing the Plantkin race to stand next to the Dwellings, Elves and Pakkadians in terms of development and wealth. The PPR is primarily supported by the Pumpkins, Broccoli trees and cabbages and a few of the green turnip-esques.

The TRS is a loosely held together coalition of individual plantkins who have risen to defend their faith and way of life. The stones are holy and should only at most be touched by the lips of a worshiping plantkin kissing them for blessings. They also believe that the old ways of living in harmony, only chillaxing and being best bros, is the only way a plantkin should be able to live. The TRS i supported mainly by the lemons, sleepy bushes, the jams, the settler non-plantkin jams, and a few more green turnip-esques than found on the PPR's side.

Most plantkin stay neutral however, just trying to keep out of harms way.

The isles are divided with the PPR to the north and the TRS to the south. The PPR has taken to ousting settlers and colonizers of other races - Plantkins first! It is for this reason most Jams living on the Isles support the TRS.

While the pookas were keen on pranking the fuck out of the Order of Knowledge originally, they returned to their homeland a changed race. The originally hairless pookas had grown thick beards on their necks, their skin turned pale from lack of sunlight, and they traded their hats for fedoras. The Neckbeards, as the new race came to be called, formed the Fedora Empire. They stopped pranking and abandoned their peaceful ways, instead building a massive army. They then declared war on Pakkadia because God isn't real and the Silly Hat Republic because the Silly Hat Republic refused to acknowledge that fedoras were the best hats ever.

The Neckbeards then began their assault on Pakkadia, screaming "IN THIS MOMENT I AM EUPHORIC! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" as the Neckbeard horde marched over the hill.

The Pure Elven Coalition incorporates lands that it for many years now have been occupying to the south as well as a small colony on the main continent that started off as the main invasion point in the elven Crusade. To the north west Erebong Twinklespark had the few elven freemen living there submit to the Coalition. On the surface however, to not wound the northerners pride too much, this province is considered a semi-autonomous state called The Protectorate.

After seizing the lands and being inspired by the Order of Knowledge, Erebong had a Witchery Collage built to train elven youths in the art of magical combat, as well as martial arts - seeing as they keep getting their shit kicked in and keep having to resolve to using their secret weapons.

Students studying at the College have to praise paintings of Erebong hanging above their beds every day they wake up.

They invite wizards and scientists from around the world to study the corpses and the crystals with the promise of a award to whoever finds the origin and nature of them

The Pabyssinians venture north through the desert and eventually stumble upon a huge, winding river. On this river was a great pyramid made of sandstone that was bigger than anything the Psumerians could possibly make. They then copy these pyramids and use them to bury their great leaders, forming the [Valley of Kings] monument!

A bunch travel south to the little tiny island in Pabyssinia Bay as well where they colonize the land and name it Pamaica. The Pamaicans find a strange plant, which they call "panja" and find that smoking it makes you really, really high. The rest of the Pabyssinians are reluctant to try it, though.

The mighty Pakkadian army and fearsome Fedora horde clashed violently on the southern Pakkadian plains. Psumerians and neckbeards alike fought, bled and died that day. But what was the outcome? Let's find out!

1. A major Fedora victory. Pakkadians lose much of their territory.
2. A moderate Fedora victory. Some territory is gained along with heavy Pakkadian casualties.
3. A minor Fedora victory. No territory is gained but Fedoras now have a slight advantage.
4. A minor Pakkadian victory. No territory is gained or lost but Pakkadians have a slight advantage.

The Pakkadians, having fought in many battles, thoroughly trounced the upstart neckbeards, who had grown fat and complacent during their time at the Order of Knowledge. The Pakkadians tore through the Fedora Empire and claimed most of it for themselves after either converting the neckbeards that lived there to Senkiduism/Neo-Senkiduism or putting them to the sword. The neckbeards, facing extinction, built a great underground structure to house their population comfortably and discuss the works of their patron saint, Histopher Critchens. This structure was known as [The Great Basement].

One of the Gneep colonist groups has reached the Plantkin islands and are promptly greeted with sharpened gardening implements to the face by the PPR. In doing so, however, the PPR soldiers forgot a very important rule of life: never anger anyone with the ability to make all your internal organs external.
Now that the PPR soldiers guarding the beach have been turned into salad through tactical application of telekinesis, what do the Gneep colonists do next?

>>1103330
As the Gneeps are searching for a suitable place for starting a colony, they find a big stone structure surrounded by lemons and bushes. The structure is spewing endless amounts of plant matter. The Gneep see this structure as a suitable thing to build a colony around.
What happens next?

>>1101121
The wizards and scientists discover the following facts about the crystals:
-the crystals do not use magic
-the crystals have some qualities in common with unicellular organisms
-the crystals are still growing
-the crystals release some sort of "spores" every now and then
-everyone who inhales these spores is infected with the same "greedy cannibal" disease a part of Pakkadian population suffers from

>>1098381
30% of the Pakkadian population is infected now.

>>1103567
The Gneeps decide that The successful founding of their new colony is way more important than whatever the Plantkin are doing with the structure. The weak lemons and sleeping bushes cannot resist the force of around two hundred psychic insects and are quickly booted out of their sacred grounds. The Gneeps quickly set to work, and soon a hive city is built around the structure, which is now used to produce food for the cattle animals on which the Gneeps feed, as Gneeps themselves are carnivores and as such cannot reap the benefits of infinite plant matter directly. This hive city, unlike the hive cities in the Gneep desert, is made not from sand and discarded carapaces but from stone and dead plants. This city is named Pegre.

Unfortunately, the plant statue has a mind of its own, and vicious thorny vines erupt from it. The gneeps' psychic powers are no match for the seemingly endless plant vines which strangle the gneeps and throw them back into the sea before smashing their "colony" to bits. The TRS and PPR then get back to rebuilding their society, thankful to the plant statue for protecting them.

>>1094957

The Gneeps discover that the fat tissue of the Knogg burns well, and use this property to melt the ice on the Gneep island, which leads to an increase in the amount of clean water on the island. Due to this they can now create a more advanced society, and as such the Gneep cities are now united into a nation.

>>1104021
Those Plantkin who lived near the structure had to work together to rebuild their society regardless of their faction, leading to the PPR and the TRS Plantkin on that island to become more accepting to each other. May this eventually result in peace between the two factions?

The Gneep nation has dedicated research to improving the ability to melt ice to provide more drinkable water to it's citizens, resulting in creation of a method of refining Knogg fat into a liquid form that Burns better than it's solid form.

wow, new race.

these are the h'amu, they are actually jams (a sound change in their language resulted jams becoming h'amu) that colonised the endless plains north of the scientarium centuries ago. It was not long ago when the h'amu were just a bunch of random tribes fighting consantly over land. But then h'amu gai a h'amu (jam of all jams) came along and united all the 50 tribes creating a big and powerful kingdom called H'ui (kingdom).

more about the h'amu: They ride these big, bipeded creatures they call "hyemi". H'amus want to fight all the time, always seeking wars. they do not care much about the arts or science. they worship only the god of war, although they do think there are other, lesser gods. because they don't dare to go somewhere without their hyemi, they haven't visited any other races for centuries. But because of the peace their king brought upon them, they will seek other opponents to wage war on.

The Dwelling researchers find a small room inside the golden sphere near the structure that they have identified as the wormhole generator. This room houses a damaged machine that the Dwellings can't identify due to insufficient scientific knowledge, but they have noticed a bunch of wires going from it to the wormhole generator. They send a team of scientists and engineers to try repairing the machine.
Roll for outcome:
1-epic fail, both the wormhole generator and the machine are irreparably damaged
2-fail, the machine is irreparably damaged
3-minor fail, machine is not repaired
4-minor success, machine not repaired but Dwellings gain a minor scientific boost in research of electricity
5-success, machine is fixed and allows to make wormholes anywhere instead of predetermined places
6-epic success, same as 5 but Dwellings also gain a major scientific boost in research of electricity

One day, all the infected Pakkadians grab all the gold they can find, stand together in a perfect circle with a diameter of 100 km, reroute their collective magical power to make a protective forcefield around the circle, and just die. They don't kill themselves or anything, their organisms just cease all life functions. Seconds later, the red crystals begin growing on them, forming connections both between their flesh and between the gold around them...
Meanwhile, due to losing 60% of it's magical soul fuel because of Pakkadian deaths, Senkidu's rest begins to fall.
Also due to the loss of 60% of Pakkadian population, the country is weakened.

Some Gneep scientists began experimenting on the flammable liquid to find uses other than cooking and melting ice. They have discovered that the burning fluid, when in the right conditions, can apply way more force than the telekinesis of the Gneeps can. This results in the creation of the first native internal combustion engines on the planet, although no machinery has been created that uses them yet.

Veto lifted.
A month after the infected died, the forcefield around the circle has disappeared. Seconds later, a collossal object lifts off the ground where the circle was.
A Dwelling scientist, if they had looked at it, would note a distinct similiarity to the wormhole generator inside the golden sphere.
A Grey scientist, however, in this situation would convert from atheism to religion just to pray for their life, because they know exactly what this is.

>>1104854
did I miss something? does it generate the gold-crystal machine things encountered in the underground city?

>>1104869
While that's one of the things it can do as a defense mechanism, it's main function is to make a planet-sized wormhole through which the harvesters can come.

>>1104879
The planet-sized wormhole is now retconned to a wormhole with a diameter of 100 kilometers because honestly a planet-sized one is just too ridiculous.

>>1104879
how/what is a harvester again?

The Greys went into a state of sheer panic. The ones who destroyed their home world of Old Splutnik have returned and were going to do the same to this world as well. However, upon finding the stone leg, the Greys regained their hope, for this was the leg of a Great Protector, much like the Great Protector of Splutnik. The Greys traveled far and wide before eventually discovering Ooga Booga Island, where the Ooga Boogas quickly hauled it up Mt. Jumbawumba and attached it to their god. "Thanks for giving me a LEG UP in life!" the statue shouted. Now there was only one leg remaining, and the Ooga Boogas and Greys teamed up to find it. Not much time was left, however..

>>1104891
The Harvester is a creature/machine utilised by the guys in charge of the golden NGE thingy to turn planets into resources.
The first harvester/harvesters will be sent after three in-game days pass (aka everyone makes three days worth of preparations for the invasion. It probably won't be much help in battling the harvesters but hey there's a chance the stone head will get a full mech body in time and the Horka Bork forefather probably has enough common sense to try to defend the planet he lives on)

As the Horka Bork were losing a hopeless battle against their forefather, both parties were distracted from the battle by the appearance of the Messenger Unit( aka golden NGE thingy). However, a second after that, the forefather is knocked out by a stone piece falling from the sky. The Horka are surprised that their progenitor was defeated by an orbital kick. That knockout will probably last a month!

>>1104901
ah okay thnx..

the news spread quickly throughout the lands with New Colony being one of the first to take action. they sent out nummerous ships to all over the world looking for the last leg and arm. within hours several kingdoms were searching for clues to where this leg and arm could've been hidden.

after a day a jam scientist found a scroll in the scientarium about a myth of a long lost race, descended from the dwellings, that were known for their arts in stone crafting. the story told of giant castles cut from mountains and enormous statues as big as whole kingdoms. The race ended up destroying the continent they lived on because of the lack of raw stone on it...

the scientist thought and thought until one of them, a plantkin, looked at the map and drew a big red circle in the midst of the ocean. this was, as he said, the only logical place the continent would've been situated.

1. they set sail, but quickly realised it was just a myth

2. they set sail, found an underwater castle, but with nothing in it but gold

3. they set sail, found an underwater kingdom, but with nothing usefull..

4. they set sail and found a giant arm, underwater..

5. they sey sail and found a giant arm and leg underwater

6. they set sail and found a living relative of the legendary stone crafter, willing to help them save the world..

Erebong Twinklespark, the elven ruler, once again suffers a nightmare. However, this time it is different, not caused by the superdreamon haunting him but by his abilities of proscience, a special type of prescience that can see the past but not the future.
This nightmare tells a long story of a species.
First, the species came int existence, they were weak, short-lived, cowardly and xenophobic, but have developed greatly in all sciences and ruled their universe with a biomechanical iron fist.
Then their universe died.
But the species remained.
It has survived by moving into another universe, but the people were mutilated by the incompatible physics. Their bodies were left damaged and twisted into forms that required life support, and their minds lost any capability for positive emotions they ever had, now only capable of perceiving sadness, rage and the likes. They despised the natives of their new universe greatly, and have created many biomechanical troops to harvest the universe and rebuild it in their image. But while they managed to destroy the universe, they were defeated in the end, and the natives rebuilt it in a way that would render the existence of those creatures impossible, by permeating all of it with magic, a type of matter anathemic to all the physical laws the species operated under.
But the species yet again persisted.
In this new world, they were twisted even more, now lacking even their negative emotions. What was left of their minds was a single objective without any purpose left behind it:remake the universe as they want it to be, with the definition of "want" unknown to their emotionless brains. To complete this objective, they have used their new, twisted and eldritch bodies to reassemble the base quarks out of which everything is constructed into shapes that would bring about their victory: warriors, workers and scientists made of metals and powered by biology striving for a single goal, not caring about any other denizens of the universe: fullfill the will of their masters.

>>1105046
A second after this dream has passed Erebong wakes up and forgets all of it, because nobody is allowed to know backstory without an in-universe reason.

>>1104936
The scientists didn't find the arm or the leg, but gold is pretty nice too. They sail back to the Scientarium and are greeted by amazing news: it turns one of the monuments in the Scientarium's museum is the arm they needed!(>>1104931)However, just as they prepare to take it out of it's glass casing, the gold they were carrying sprung to life and stole the arm!

Well, it looks like the world is finally going to shit! The Dreamon amalgam from the last thread realizes that it doesn't have much time if it wants to materialize and start snatching up those juicy evil souls. You see, millennia of imprisonment within the forefather had twisted and inverted the natural method of feeding. Normally, Dreamons accumulate negative energy while in spiritual form, using it to take on a physical shape and wreak havoc; however, they cannot absorb life force while in the real world. The Amalgam, once it was freed by the awakening of the Horka Bork forefather, was unable to enter dreams to feed on evil emotions; but once it materializes, it will absorb the full life force of each and every soul it consumes, good or bad. Before the Harvesters arrive and destroy all life on the planet, it wants a chance to leave it's mark.

This is what JUMBA-01 looks like when fully assembled.

not sure if the harvesters should be cannon or not, what di yiu guys think?

>>1105623
yeah.. idk, also don't want to be that guy but maybe make a maximum on posts per person (3 after eachother, more after someone else posts) because this thread is being run by one guy...;

and (for everyone) maybe just a bit less heavy on the "action-stories" I think most people want to create more in-dept lore instead movie-scripts.

>>1105623
>>1105645

I say we make First Impact canon, the world needs more great events other than "x goes to war with y". The good lore-building can come in the aftermath as races rebuild and the world experiences great changes that everyone must adapt to.

>>1105645
What if we make the harvesters appear rarely, like only once every ten years or so? Would that raise their chance of becoming canon?

>>1105690
Or even make them an one-time event, with the combined force of JUMBA-01, Horka Bork forefather and the elven cannon destroying the Messenger Unit after it summons the first harvester?

>>1105704

This

>>1105683
i am down for this

also maybe it could change the world around a bit to give it a fresh(er) start

ok! gotcha! also I'm planning on an event, how do you guys feel about getting new races and more land to work with since?

I'm a little worried about this since it might be unnecessary and may even ruin the game considering the thread already seems to have clear favourites (just look at how little people have touched the ygari and jams in comparison to the dwelling and elves)

>>1105992

New races are always fine. But anyway let's progress the story a bit.

The gold conveniently wanders off to Ooga Booga Island, where it slips into the empty arm socket to become JUMBAWUMBA'S CORE before the Ooga Boogas slap on the other arm. "I always knew you guys had HEARTS of GOLD!" roared JUMBA-01. Now there was just the Horkaborks. The shouts of Jumbawumba could be heard from even their frozen homeland. The leg emanated a white glow as Jumbawumba shouted, as if Jumbawumba was calling it. What should the Horkaborks do?

>>1107135
The horkas ignored the calls as they were to busy celebrating the defeat of their forefather by feasting upon his flesh which turned them into beings of great power save for Bortok who followed the faint glow of the north alone. Bortok then came upon a dismembered leg of a great being, having learned from his mistakes from the pasts he called upon his kind to destroy this being before it grows powerful enough to overcome it, and so they did. The Bortoks took out their oversized stone clubs and began crushing the stone leg into tinier and tinier pieces until there was naught but dust left. With the death of their progenitor and the threat of the leg gone Bortok wandered off further to the north to live in exile as punishment for nearly dooming his people and the world.

(Rip the world)

>>1107428

Not so fast. The leg that knocked out (not killed) the Horkabork Forefather would not belong to JUMBA-01, The Great Protector, if it wasn't able to withstand a few blows with a shitty club. As much as this Bortok would like you to believe, his club broke many times on the thing before the rest of the Horkaborks came and beat the shit out of him for trying to break the thing that knocked out their greatest foe. Before the Horkaborks could praise the leg, however, it started to be pulled, as if by a magnet, towards Ooga Booga Island, first slowly but rapidly accelerating as it shot across the sea. The Ooga Boogas knew what they had to do, and with one last heft JUMBA-01 was complete, just in time for the invasion of the Harvesters! "I'm going to KICK their asses!" JUMBA-01 says, pointing towards his new leg.

>>1107827

Now, the 50-foot tall robot with detachable flying fists and puns bad enough that they could make a god cringe to death is ready to take on the Harvester threat! The Pure Elves also join in, aiming their cannon at the gateway in wait, and the Horkabork forefather begins to rouse from his sleep as well. What will happen next?

>>1107827
Bear in mind they are giants and the club is the size of trees, think paledragon tooth but ten times the size and twice the hardness

>>1107865
The amalgam materializes. As big as a good-sized mountain, it/they decide that they will have plenty of time to feast after stopping the invasion. And maybe they can get a quick bite of that sweet forefather life force during the battle?

>>1107865
The Horka bork father was eaten alive by Bortok and his sons now they're the size of the father of horka borks soo no he doesn't rouse from his slumber

>>1108896
They can't all be as big as him because that would require more matter than the Horka Bork forefather consists of.

THE FIRST HARVESTER EMERGES!
Of course, being the first one on the planet, it is only a scout harvester, only 2 kilometers wide when in flight mode and 1 kilometer tall in mining mode. By the way, it has two modes.
Flight mode: used to get away when things go sour or to quickly get to another continent. Resembles a really huge pair of bird wings with a relatively small body between them and a horned head perched on top of it. A large red octahedron is attached to the head and can fire lasers.
Mining mode has the same body, head and octahedron of the flight mode but the wings are now bent and situated in such a way that they form a huge "gun barrel" beneath the body. This "gun barrel" concentrates the energy produced by the body into a mining beam, which on scout harvesters not only mines but also scans everything that gets into it's way and stores the information for later use. However this mode is rather slow and as such is used only when the harvester is either not in danger or angled in such a way that the mining beam shoots at it's enemies.
It's strategy is basically Hit And Run, it mines when undisturbed and flies off when it detects danger.
You need to devise a plan that works around this strategy.

>>1108997

Where's it at? Should I roll?

>>1109060
It appears out of the wormhole generated by the Messenger Unit, on the south side of Pakkadia.
I'm sure that all this will involve dice rolls, but I'm not sure if we make some kind of battle system or just roll what we think should be rolled.

Well, let's see what we have in defenses so far.

JUMBA-01 - Weapons: Left fist can rocket punch, right arm is holding energy sword. About 55 feet tall, body parts made of strong metal with a stone exterior. It's dwarfed in size by the Harvesters but is more nimble and can hit weak points easily if given the chance. Can tell deadly puns, but the harvesters do not understand them.

The Pure Elven Cannon - Can create kilometer-wide holes in the earth using blasts of magical energy. However, it has a limited range (extends to the Ygari territory but no further

The Horkabork Forefather (Wild card) - A giant Horkabork with otherworldly strength, still dwarfed by the Harvesters but it's still extremely powerful. The problem here is getting it to stop destroying the Horkaborks so that it can focus on the Harvesters.

Mechanical scouts of Splutnik - Using the escape pods of their downed ship, the Greys of Splutnik mount a desperate attack on the Harvesters. They're incredibly weak compared to the powers above but can serve as distractions.

Plantkin plant statue - If a Harvester gets too close to the Plantkin isles, the plant statue will attempt to entangle the harvester in endless vines. Definitely not effective at killing a harvester but it may slow it down or even immobilize it.

Gneeps - A good mass of gneeps might be able to do damage to it.

Amalgam (wild card)- A mountain-sized mass of dreamons that preys on living creatures' life force. It may be effective against the harvesters if it decides to attack one.

Great Dwelling Bureaucracy - They have a wormhole machine that might be of use. But maybe the golden sphere has other applications?

Pakkadians, Ooga Boogas and pookas - Useless. The Pookas are too peaceful to mount a good defense and the Pakkadians were utterly wiped out by civil war and the greedy cannibal disease. The Ooga Boogas are too busy controlling JUMBA-01.

What do the Jams, Ygari, Horkaborks, Urpeans, Snowapeans, Order of Knowledge, and Pabyssinians do? Perhaps they can help out in some way. Or maybe a long-forgotten new race joins the fight?

With this information we can devise a strategy for fighting these things. Perhaps the races at the bottom could gain some backstory by contributing something or maybe even turn the tides.

>>1108896
>>1108448
>>1107428

Also none of this shit should be Nick Cannon.

>>1108997
After the first scout harvester emerges in Pakkadia, two more appear from wormholes: one in Snowapean territory and one near the Scientarium.
Rule number one of anime antagonism: never send only one giant robot monster.

>>1109079

For JUMBA-01, the elf cannon and the Horkabork Forefather roll 2 d20s and compare the two, roll smaller dice (d8, d6, d4, etc.) based upon their strength - if the defenders' roll is higher than the harvesters', the harvesters are kill or take heavy damage. The defenders take damage if the harvesters' roll is higher than the defenders, but defenders can take multiple hits before they're ded regardless of how shitty their roll was, That's all for now, going to bed. Good luck world

>>1109260

Roll smaller dice for the weaker races (Greys, Gneeps, etc.) based on their strength, I mean. The big three are always d20

>>1109260
Refining the system.
-All units have a set range of their weapons, for example if JUMBA-01's rocket fist has a range of 5, it can attack anything that is 5 or less tiles away from JUMBA-01 on the grid map( >>1093065)
-When one of the large machines/creatures attacks roll 2d20. Higher result - lower result = damage dealt.
-When armies attack, roll 1d20 and 1d6. If d6 result is bigger than d20 result, d6 result - d20 result = damage dealt. Otherwise the army fails to damage the harvester.
-Each unit has a mobility stat. For example if Flight mode harvester has a mobility stat of 50 it can move for up to 50 tiles on the grid map.
-Each unit has a hitpoint counter(amount of squads for armies). When hitpoint counter is depleted the unit is destroyed. Bigger units like the Superdreamon and the harvesters have hitpoints distributed among multiple bodyparts.

>>1116270
how do I dictate my moves

>>1118424
First we should see who moves first. 1 for grab, 2 for horka

Rolled 88, 20 = 108 (2d100)

>>1119466
Ok, now we figure out whether you move or act first. I would say roll and act in one post, than move, just because a ton of actions affect speed.

>>1119468
yes but how does one dictate the destination of their moves and also is it possible to retreat my forces from the skirmish

>>1120558
This is just a test battle, don't worry about winning or losing the "war". Just say which unit does what action on their list of possible moves, with a bunch of rolls to go with them. It might help to make little notations in the corner of each unit of the same class with a distinct color to identify them in text. After you roll, copy and paste the sprites into were you want to move them and assess how successful your actions and rolls were. This whole thing will probably take a few posts per turn. Do you want to go first?

this has straight up turned into an rts, wtf?
