Pick a race, first to 3 wins. The location is a massive expanse of wilderness.
He's done it. Balthaza has dominated Malheur, your once great continent is under the oppressive fist of a maniacal warlock. Every race that once dotted this vast land has either been subjugated or exterminated, you fought back, tried to lead your kin in rebellion only to face genocide. You were left alive along with others, a reminder of what rebellion rewards. But you feel the red hot chains unwrap from your arms and legs and a cooling wave of healing energy wash over you.
"Rise. Once great leaders, you have an audience with the Man-God Balthaza." Says some sort of abhorrent being with tar black skin and deep set wrinkles.
You manage to rise to your knees as the massive face of Balthaza covers the wall across from you.
"FAILED LEADERS. WOULD BE REBELS. DEFEATED FOES. I GROW BORED OF YOUR ETERNAL TORTURE AND THE PEACE IN MY LANDS. I DESIRE CONFLICT, ANARCHY, AND DEATH. SO I OFFER YOU NOW A CHOICE. PARTAKE IN A BATTLE FOR UOUR FREEDOM. I WILL GRANT YOU BACK YOUR KIN AND LET YOU LOOSE IN MY KINGDOM TO FIND AND FIGHT EACH ITHER AND THE ELEMENTS. WHEN ALL OTHER CIVILIZATIONS LIE DEAD OR CONQUERED. YOU WIN, AND YOU WILL HAVE...your freedom." He says the last two words with the smooth sweetness of honey.
The others give no hesitation in agreeing to join, you find yourself nodding yes as well. A flash of blue energy temporarily blinds you as you now find yourself in a large wooden box almosy, surrounding you are 10 of your kind.
Finally, once more you can lead the...

You vibrate your wings rapidly and begin to gain feeling. Even though you're standing still you can still see the entire room and your swarm.
They shift from each set of feet uncomfortably as they look at you (at least you think) for guidance. You look around the room more and notice the wals slowly beginning to flake and fall apart. They evaporate into ash completely and you spot the dense forest around you, the small rush of a river in the distance. You can see you've been provided with a small pile of wood pulp and massive leaves for constructing a nest.
The Queen looks at you.
"You will lead us again? Provide me a place to lay my eggs and I will provide you the soldiers you need." She relays to you telepathically
You currently have:

4 Drones
1 Queen

Top roll for first is 16, I'll use that single 19 as the second roll. 1 time only cause I like you guys.
Btw: your dragon flies are the size of dogs, like German Shepherds. With enough time you can grow larger.
The Drones begin constructing the queen a small nest for which she could bear more warriors for the swarm. The pace they set will have construction finished by the end of the night.
A few of your warriors fly off into the dense foliage. After a few hours they return with strands of silk hanging from their legs.
"Sir, It appears a small group of the Arachnids have set up to the north of us, we flew into a few webs they set up but they are still weak since they have just arrived. Theyw did not notice us but we only spotted two of them.
[RACE DISCOVERED: Arachnids, sentient spiders, size of a refrigerator for reference]
They will be the red block.

Rolled 16 (1d20)
You gather your warriors and tell them to prepare for battle by gathering rocks just incase.
They huddle around you and look to you firther instruction, one from the back speaks up.
"Sir. Aren't we leaving the queen defenseless?" He asks
You quietly ponder this fact.

we lose the queen, we lose our production. too risky imo. I vote to leave a guard.
>>
You order the drones to stand guard over the queen and to seek you out if anything happens. They nod their heads and begin buzzong around the queen constantly shifting where they look constantly.
You gather the warriors and head north. Slowly the sun begins setting as you advance through the thick woods, had you not been blessed with wings it would have been pitch black by the time you arrived.
You see thin stringy webs of stocky silk out up as a symbol of boundaries it seems, and hear above you scuttling. You notice the spiderling following from behind after you enter, though not openly aggresive.
You eventually find a massive web constructed of many strands of spider silk intertwined into a thick rope. Other of your distantly related kin lay in the web, giant moths and even some bees wrapped tightly like presents. Some struggle faintly but most others are still, in the center of the web is the Spider-Queen Sarhash. In her powerful legs she holds a wrapped insect to her face, a disgusting symphony of muffled screams and wet slurps make your wings tuck closer to your body.
Three spiders descend behind you, smaller than anticipated. You can see all around without suspicion and you notice 5 fully grown spiders, 3 of which behind and 1 on both sides as well as 4 spiderlings who absent-mindedly tend to any tears ir rips in the webs.
The spider queen drops her prey, who thuds into the soft forest floor with a dull thud. She lifts her 8 crimson eyes to you and your group, as dark green blood and other fluids drip from her exposed fangs.
"So..the prey willingly enters the web? How intriguing, tell me now. Do you wish to be the entree or the appetizer?" She teases
"We've come to strike an alliance, foul beast!" One of your men shouts
A look from you causes him to lower himself to the ground and retreat.
"Is this true? The powerful dragon fly swarm needs the assistance of a..'foul beast' how deliciously ironic. Why would we ally ourselves with you when I could just as well ally myself with any of these fine specimens?" She near whispers as she grasps a giant wasp, he struggles and begins buzzing in a panic. She releases him back onto the web and the buzzing subsides.

>>1114073
You heard thw wizard This is a fight to the death. you may belive your superiority but we both know there are races that fight with fire and steel and we stand little chance if we give them time to grow. Together we may slaughter them before they threaten our victory and then we can settle who is predator and who is prey.

>>This was a mistake, we are leaving
>>
>>1114090
This.
We should work together to overthrow the mammalian overlords. Then we can go back to being bitter rivals once our sovereignty is restored.
While we negotiate, most of our swarm begin to leave. But actually stay just out of sight high in the air, ready to rain rocks on this position if we do not return in a certain amount of time.

"You heard the mage. This is a competition, if we were to team up and kill these others while they're weak an unable to handle our primal power. We may have a chance and then when the dust settles, we can decide which of us is truly the prey." You say confidently
The queen pulls herself higher on the web and absently twirls a hanging corpse attached to a silk rope.
"We will consider your offer, dragon fly. Until I send a spiderling with my message, there is no truce. I suggest you leave now while you can."
You head home as the sun finally dies in the sky, the queens nest is complete, it will keep her warm and secure while she births more of the swarm.

The night goes smoothly though with one warrior now asleep through the morning.
As the swarm begins to wake you go to check on the queen only to find her still asleep, with a brood of eggs. You count 15 and buzz happily, leaving the queen to rest with her babies.
There has been no sign of the spiders. But you do hear what seems to be deep booming to the west, though it seems far off the sound travels far in this forest.
