You awaken, mind hazy from what was more than likely the weight of sentience being thruster upon you. Around you are several other members of your people, who are as equally as confused as you are.
You are in what appears to be a vast, expansive cavern, with stalactites dangling haphazardly from the ceiling.
You have:

What do you choose to focus on?

You suddenly realise that you thirst and hunger, and desire for nourishment.
Instinctively, you kneel down to the floor on your hands and knees, and begin to drain water from it.
The rest of your people do the same, and you all feel replenished.

Realising that several beings larger than you prey upon Myceanae, your species tries to develop basic defensive weapons. Utilising the Stalactites in the cavern, you form makeshift Spears!

Knowing that your people need somewhere to inhabit, you begin to build makeshift housing. The result is what looks to be several pieces of Stone piled on top of each other however, they do their jobs.

However, you know deep down that these houses are not good enough. You order the builders to gather more stone, to create better housing.
But when they went to get the Stone, they came across something strange. A dead body. Of what seemed to be a giant spider. It was rotting, but curiously, emerging from it was what appeared to be a smaller version of your species.
They run back to notify you of this, and you order them to build a place to keep dead bodies. Gathering all the stone needed and actually building the new houses will take another 1d3 turns longer than usual. While you've got 10 Builder shrooms working on that, what do you do?

You demand the corpse of the Spider be brought to you so you could study it.
When you behold it, you wonder how something so mighty could have fallen. It's many legs lay there, limp, it several eyes milky and lifeless. The small shroom is still sprouting from it's back, still innocent to how it was made.
Having seen enough, you order a team of Five shrooms to dissect the Spider, to try and understand how it works. You also personally extract the smaller Shroom from it. As you leave though, a thought plagues you: "What could have killed something so big?"

In other news, the houses have been built! They are built right into the wall of the cavern. And right near those, is an area to examine corpses and the like.
The shrooms dissecting the Spider have gained an understanding of how they work, and now are beginning to create theories on how Myceanae are made.

Knowing that you can't just leave the Scouts out there, you gather the entire tribe in a search party for them.
It is not long until you find them. Their caps have been removed from their bodies, and they seem to have been drained dry of all fluids.
You take these corpse back with you, as well as a few other corpses of what seems to be smaller spiders.
You order the Biologist shrooms to dissect both the Spiders and Mycenae.

>>
>>1503669
To try and distract yourself and your species from the recent tragedy, you feel like it would be a good idea to try and make your own language.
You go around, asking people how they would like a language. You then begin to combine the language you already use with what the people have suggested.
>Research on a language has begun!
Event:
When one of the Bio-shrooms was cutting up the dead Myceanae, out of the dead Mushrooms corpse slithered what looked to be a tiny serpent. None of them know what it was but they have reported it to you.

You tell them to ignore it, as you can focus on it later. The dissection is complete, and you now have an in depth understanding if how tour biology works.
An interesting thing you found, was that as they began to rot, the corpses released what appeared to be spores into the air, which then disappear led into the Spider's corpses. Soon after, 5 small Mycenae emerged from them. Could it be that death is not the end?

While deciding what to do next, you and the Biologists take some time to ponder upon the nature of death. Why do things die? Is death truly the end? Is there something that watches over the dead? These are all questions you and them asked each other. You go with no answers, but with a burning desire to know just how death works...

After all the training, all the hard work, and all the stress, you gather your Spearmen to go and kill the Beast. You find near where the Scouts were killed what appears to be a tunnel, roughly 4 foot wide.
You and your men jump in, and discover a network of tunnels throughout the cave, leading to almost every location. Perhaps once this beast is killed, you could use this place.
Suddenly, you hear something. A... Hiss. And a slithery sound. What do you do?

You hide in a nearby crevice, and then you see the beast... No, Monster, that killed your scouts.
Out of the tunnel, slithers a Colossal snake, with dark blue skin, and beady eyes. In it's mouth, it carries a Giant Spider, frantically trying to escape it's grip. The serpent drops the spider, then proceeds to suck the fluids out of the spider, leaving it a dry husk.
Out of the husk, crawls a White serpent thing, similar to what you found in the corpses of the Scouts. The serpent crawls into the flesh of the monster, turning the scales a darker shade of blue.
Mustering all the courage you and your troops can, you jump out, Spears in hand, and attack the Serpent!

You decide to make your ranged spearmen train more, as what you're facing is undoubtedly ferocious. Meanwhile, you ask the melee Spearmen what they saw.

You decide to join the cult of what is known as Malkooth, goddess of death. From death cometh life, and from life cometh death!
>Your civilisation has converted to Malkooth!
What next?
>Expand Housing
>Set up place of worship
>Scout

>>
Mine, we can worship afterwords
>>
>>1519833
You order your miners to start getting more Iron, for both military and industrial purposes. However, they don't just find that, they find several glimmering purple stones.
>Found Amnethysts!
Seeing this as a sign from Malkooth, as purple is a colour ascossiated with her, you order your builder shrooms to construct a place of worship around the Corpse pit.
>Church of Malkooth ready in 1d3 turns.
What now?
>Test out scale pelt
>Improve housing
>Scout more
>Write in
>>
Test out the [NogawYssup] scale pelt
>>
>>1519850
Seeing the potential of the Gonawyssup's pelt, you decide to subject it to more heat. You then take some stone cut in a circle, stretch the pelt over it, and see if it still works. It succeeds, and you give all these to all your troops.
>Shields have been invented!
On another note, the Church of Malkooth has been built around the corpse pit! You now attend a regular preaching, along with the rest of the village, there.
What now?
>Scout
>Improve Housing
>Write in
>>
Lets improve housing. I was thinking something along the lines of a gigantic crypt city (think Necrontyr homeworld planet)
>>
>>1519862
You order your builders to improve upon the housing. They are elevated out of the wall, and become engraved with all sorts of imagery of Malkooth.
>Housing improved! You can house up to 300 Shrooms!
What now?

Scout for resources
>>
>>1519869
You decide it's time to send out the scouts again. You send 10 out. Roll 1d100 to see how well it goes.
>>
What our buildings should look like (fully upgraded)
>>
Rolled 35 (1d100)
Lets find us some gunpower

Your scouts fail to find anything. Roll again?

Rolled 15 (1d100)
They try extra EXTRA hard to look for bat shit
>>
Rolled 82 (1d100)
Gunpower is good bad shit
>>
>>1519929
Your scouts manage to find a strange, ashy powder, and when it is headed, it makes a fiery bang! You also find a new entrance to "The pool of dread" as some are calling it.
What now?
>Research Gunpowder
>Even BETTER housing
>Write in
>>
Research gunpowder and send a Cult Priest to the Pool, rename to the pool of [God] if possible.
>>
>>1520009
You experiment with the powder even MORE, learning that if you leave it by somewhere then heat it, it blows up, and could be used as a weapon.
>Gunpowder basics researched!
Meanwhile, the Priest travels to the Pool of Dread, and renames it "The Holy Pool of Malkooth" . Even then however, he couldn't help but still feel unnerved by it...
>Pool sanctified!
What now?
>>
Have Gunpowder research continue whilst you take a squad of your best men to the pool.
>>
>>1520056
You continue research on the Powder. You've found that you can place it in small iron capsules, light them, then throw them, at which point they explode!
>You've learnt how to make mini-grenades!
You decide it's high time to see what's wrong with the pool. Upon entering, knowing that is has been blessed by Malkooth, your resolve improves. Loudly, you yell a challenge to whatever is causing such feelings of dread.
The water begins to distort, and out of the centre, rises a humanoid figure, with the head of an octopus.
In your mind you hear the words "GET OUT TRESSPASSERS!"
What do you do?
>RUUUUUUUUUUN
>Try and take this thing down
>Write in
>>
What it looks like.
>>
Attempt to communicate (motion for your men to stand ready)
>>
Since the pool its standing in was blessed, we can assume that its a herald/effigy of Malkooth, so it should be safe to communicate.
>>
Im just going to roll now in advance and nod off, nice one on one questing OP :)
>>
Rolling for 100

You gesture for your troops to stand down. "Creature, we have no wish to harm this sacred site" you reason. "Then... What you doing here, Myceanae?" It asks, confused. "We simply seek to know what you are and why your prescience causes my men such stress" It gives a blank look, then relaxes. "I am a guardian of this sacred pool, appointed by Lady Malkooth herself. The aura of dread I give is to ward of would-be heretics."
How do you respond to this?
>>
"Indeed? My people and I are loyal to Lady Malkooth, to meet a divine emissary as yourself is truly Inspiring! Who are you, faithful servant?"
Afterwards respond with "What purpose has Mistress blessed this pool with?"
>>
>>1521404
"Indeed? My people are loyal to Lady Malkooth, and to meet a divine servant of her is... Inspiring. What is your name?" The being takes on an entire new demeanour. "Fellow servants of our Deathly mistress? If that's the case, my name is Shrayum'ptar, Herald of Malkooth."
"What blessing has our mistress blessed this pool with?" It takes on sombre look. "This is the gate in which the souls of my ladies followers go through to be reborn. Many have tried to enter, but none have succeeded, due to yours truly."
Interesting. How do you respond?
>>
Lets not fight him yet. See if we can build a Malkooth Temple at the site (ask him first) so more shrooms get converted
>>
>>1521449
You nervously ask "My Lord, would it be an affront to Malkooth if we were to build a temple to her greatness here?"
The Herald looks contemplative for a while, then looks directly at you. "I am unsure. I will seek permission from our lady myself. However, if at any time while I am gone, a single one of you attempts to enter the pool..." He glares at you threateningly "It will be the last mistake any of you will ever make." He then disappears into the murky depths.
What now?
>>
Send 2 of our shrooms back to gather our priests and tell them thr good news, then get them all to come here
>>
>>1521473
You order 2 of the Warriors to run back to the village as fast as they could! They arrive shortly, with the Priest. "By Malkooth my son, we are at one of the holiest sites in the entire cave! When will this Herald be back?" You tell him that you have no idea.
Suddenly, the ripples appear, and Shrayum'ptar returns! "My mistress gives her permission for you to build a temple here." Loud cheers erupt from the crowd. "However" he continues, "You must bring the corpse of every 5th Monster you slay."
Do you accept these terms?
>>
Gladly accept, then ask him how the pool works
>>
>>1521532
You gladly accept his terms, and thank him and Malkooth for their generousity. Before you go, you ask him how the Pool works.
"In simple terms,the spirits of the dead come here and wait. I then rise out of the water, and take them down with me. In complete truth this entire pool is a portal to Malkooth's realm, in which servants of her like me can enter though and leave at will."
You thank Shrayum'ptar for his goodwill, and leave for the village.
What now?
>>
Gotta go for tonight, will be back for tommorow.
>>
Start research into ranged gunpowder-based weapons
>>
>>1521575
You decide to work further on gunpowder. The engineers make steel tube which the pellets of gunpowder could be blown out of.
>Blowing Tube unlocked!
What Now?
>>
Start scouting, send out shrooms in groups of 3, 1 melee, 2 guns.
>>
>>1523601
You want more knowledge of the area. You send the scouts out in those exact numbers. Roll 1d100 to see how well it goes.
>>
Rolled 100 (1d100)
Lets go
>>
>>1523614
The scouts are incredibly lucky, for they have found a new civilisation! It is a race of Bat people, living in the highest parts of the cave. They seem to be fairly unadvanced.
What do you do about this?
>Kill them. You are the dominant species!
>Help his nascent civilisation along. Who knows how they could repay you?
>Write in
>>
How advanced?
>>
>>1523628
They're at "still eating their own poop" level.
>>
Lets enslave the shit out of them. Kill all the elderly and chain the rest down with weights. Time to start some Mayan Malkooth Worship.
>>
>>1523657
You take all your troops, and walk up to their area. They show a form a distress, as they should. "Where is the elder of this place!" You bellow. A wizened, strange looking Bat person hovers up to you. Using your Spear, you stab right through him.
Shortly afterwards, you have enslaved the entire settlement!
>You now have 15 Kyropteran slaves!
What do you use them for?
>>
Get started on slave pens and assign some shrooms to be slave trainers and break them in at...any...cost...necessary
>>
>>1523671
You order the builders to build pens for the slaves to be kept in, using minimal resources. In the meantime, you order the more sadistic of the shrooms to break the slaves, at any cost.
You don't know how they were broken, but all you know is it involved a lot of screaming.
>Slave pens built!
>Slaves have been broken!
What now?
>>
Rolled 35 (1d100)
Get the slaves started on mining and have some mushrooms start scouting again, rolling 1d100 premptively
>>
>>1523690
As soon as the slaves are ready, you put them to work mining. Them come back with a bounty of Iron and Amnethyst.
>+10 Amnethyst and Iron!
You send the Scouts out again. They return with another nest of Giant Spiders, giving you opportunity for more Cavalry.
What now?
>>
Wew...Such luck.
Ok time for rapid expansion, get as many shrooms as possible (excluding workers) to scout solo in all directions. Their orders are to run at the first sign of contact. Have the slaves dick deeper, we need more resources for our crypt world.
>>
>>1523697
You decide it's time for rapid expansion. You send every single one of your warriors in every direction, to scout out anything new. They are to return at the first sign of contact.
You order the slaves to dig even deeper. They end up finding a shiny, pretty looking metal, that you thing may be useful.
>You have discovered Gold!
The scouts all return. Oh, the things they have found! One found a giant mineral deposit, while another found the dead body of a Leech Viper. One found what may have been an entrance to one of those runic walls, and another found more Kryoptera!
>You now have several different opportunities for where you can go and what you can do!
Which do you explore first?
>>
1. Miners to tunnel to deposit
2. Have a squad of 5 bring the body back for rapid sporification
3. Have the priests go to the rune walls with a detachment of 2 guardsmen
4. Bring the bulk of our upgraded soldiers to enslave the pre-slaved bat slaves. Slaughter the elderly and sick by carting them back to Necrontyr and pushing them into our spartan pit.
>>
Also, have our OG shroom start the architecture for our base. Should look like the pic i posted above.
Also OP we should remake this thread soon, should have enough content here already to stay bumped.
Remake in 3 turns or so?
>>
>>1523722
You give a series of orders. 1. You order the miners to got through the deposit and to mine it for everything it has. 2. You order a squad of 5 troops to bring back the Leech Viper's corpse. Can never be too careful with those things. 3. You send the priest to the entrance of the wall. And 4. You personally accompany some soldiers to where the Kryoptera are.
You slaughter the elderly and sick ones and promptly spore them, and take the rest as slaves.
> +20 Kryoptera Slaves!
The Leech Viper is fully sported, and 20-40 Shrooms should come from it.
The miners return with all their arms full with hundreds of metals and gems, all of which are useful.
At the wall, the priest entered. What he found, were some short, humanoid creatures with long beards drinking alcohol. He could see no purpose in interrupting them.
>New civilisation discovered: Dwarfs!
What now?
>>
>>1523726
Ok, will remake then.
>>
We need those dwarfs sapient and intelligent to help boost our tech level. Lets have another discussion with our resident pool demon and offer some of the bat slaves as tribute. (Looking for thralls)
>>
>>1523742
Deciding it was time to have another talk with your resident pool demon, you make the trip to it, along with 10 Kryoptera slaves. As you arrive, the familiar ripples start to appear in the water, as Shrayum'ptar arises.
"Back again so soon, Myceanea?" He asks. "What do you have for me?" "We come bearing gifts. As tribute to your and Malkooth's greatness, we give you these 10 slaves." You bring the slaves forward. Shrayum'ptar eyes them. "You enslaved Kryoptera? Hmmm... Well don't expect any favours from the God of night, which is all I will say." The Slaves start shivering, then they suddenly drop dead. Their bodies are then absorbed into the pool.
"My lady will thank you for this." He says.
What now?
>Question him about the god of the night.
>Leave.
>>
Question.
"Our most venerated lady is worshipped with due piety throughout our lands. However, some start to doubt her power and divinity. We loyal Mycanea humbly request that she use her unquestioned power to show these unbelievers the err of their way."
"Oh? What exactly do you have in mind?"
"There are a group of dwarves just a few Ttyers(shroom miles) east of these sacred waters. They dare pray to a false diety! Their puny god of dwarves and mining has questioned the most feeble in our faith....it would be fitting for the Irrefutable God of Death to enslave these heretics and kill their false god, no?"
>>
We should remake before we go apeshit on the dwarves.
>>
>>1523750
You question him. "My lord, our most venerated lady is worshipped with due piety in our lands. However, we Myceanea have noticed that some do not pay her respect, and request to silence these heretics."
"Oh? And who are you planning to silence?" He asks. "You see, there is a hold of Dwarfs a few Tyters away from this holy site, and they venerate their pathetic god of smiths and mining above her! Would it not be a holy action to destroy it's monuments, and to enslave his followers?"
He pauses, and then gives you an inscrutable look. "If you wish to wage war in her name, then do so. However, if you desire a more peaceful solution, could you not just ask them to worship her alongside their God? Whatever the case, if you DO attack them, then I will assist you in any way I can."
How do you reply?
>>
Attack them, TO WAR!
But first we cut away to remake. Remember stat sheet.

Well, that's the last post of this thread. Hope y'all enjoyed it.
