Pistons begin to rise and fall, steam rushing through long dead systems, great metal limbs strain against their rusting joints, sensors activating, their blank and featureless armoured face-visors gleaming against the flame. A legion of machines, all built of great steel plates and red brass, controlled by a central thought node, awaken, deep in the abyss, banished along with their long dead creator in centuries past.

The thousands march in absolute order to their armoury, and with only the noise of a battering ram in the distance, and the clanking of steel, they arm themselves. Matchlock Pistols and Maces for the multitude, accompanied by a rank of shieldbearers, standing at least twelve feet in height, massive shields embedded along one arm and the other taken up by a slightly smaller, sharp edged shield, allowing each one to form a shield wall. Some specific units wield long muskets, and the pride of the army, the Engineers Corps. wield the signature of the legion, the chainblade, a falchion like blade with a spinning chain of blades, designed to dig into bone and flesh, holding the enemy for repeated mace blows.

The Legion forms rank in the great stone entryway, shieldbearers forming the front rank, muskets aimed outward between the shields, chainblades on either flank, perhaps fifty or sixty ranks of maces and pistols. The hammer blows fall on the gate, and the ram eventually breaks through. Now, the demons rush in.

A Civilization Quest playing as Machines YES Praise technology I've wanted for so long for a Civilization Quest like this.
>>Moderately
Show these demons what technology can do. And go with this idea>>298297

Machines Vs. Demons?
I never knew I wanted this.
Are we rolling to determine outcomes or?

The enemy, a whirling mass of flesh, teeth and the furious rage of the underworld, meets the steel of the legion as soon as the gate collapses, a hail of bullets sailing into their ranks and hacking through them. Then another, then another, then another. By the time the foul creatures reach the line, their first four or five ranks have been mown down, their corpses rapidly decomposing into pathetic lemures. When the monsters reach the shieldwall, the muskets pull back, and the line falls into a rythm. The shield bearers shield bash the enemy and raise their shields, allowing one rank of pistoleers to fire a volley, before the shields slam down, and any stragglers are exterminated by mace.

The flanks are covered by the chainblades, and the whirling metal makes mincemeat of any demon that strays too close. Your line is silent asides from the rush of steam and the systematic gunfire of each rank. Hours pass, and gradually your men run out of ammunition, a fact rather humbled by the sheer mountain of demon-flesh left in the gateway. It seems, due to the turmoil in the demonic camp, you have some time to pause.

The legion currently dwells in a sealed, stone holdout underground, consisting of one now broken gateway, a corridor around twenty men wide, or ten shieldbearers, one large chamber at the end of the corridor, secured with a portcullis, behind which is a large barracks and armoury. A large workshop, staffed by the auxilliary non-combat units of the legion cares for weapons, but supplies run low. Your people do not need to sleep, but gunpowder for weapons and new metal will be needed.

You know of no mission for you, but you do possess one simple, general directive: Hold out. The thought node estimates that this order was given by a screaming dwarf, around fifteen hundred cycles previously, approximately 120 years.

You have a single day or so before the monsters return. What do you do?
(1D20 For actions, such as readjusting battle plans or laying traps, 1d100 for ideas and technology such as new armour, 2d6 for construction, such as digging out a mineshaft or building a new room in the workshop.)

Rolled 8 (1d20)

>>298373
Traps sound good, I'll roll for that.

Do the demons carry metal weapons, or just magicy bone weapons? Maybe we we can salvage some, or else get the non-combatants digging a mine.

Rolled 11 (1d20)

Scout for resources

Rolled 2, 2 = 4 (2d6)

A few of them carry metal, some use claws, a few have been known to use steel for cannonry.

The workers very quickly set to work salvaging materials, salvaging the weaponry of the demons. It is mostly just a mass of scrap and spikes, but it melts down all the same. With more metal available, quick repairs are made to equipment, and the gate hinges are repaired. With some further repair it may be re-sealed.

Some sparse traps are set, but by the time the demons return en masse, Lemures have dealt with them. The demons, this time, bring a more adequate host, headed by a larger, fatter and much more armoured bull-demon of a sort. It's unclear whether the muskets will be effective if fired in volleys against this foe.

Boars are temperamental, try to lure it away from the rest of their army, like a torero, then surround it, and bash it with maces which can bypass most of its armour, or cut through it with chainsaws.

As cool as this sounds, it doesn't actually make any sense for machine people about to be in a fight.

>>298506
The shieldbearers on the flanks advance, so the line forms a forward wedge, and they begin to slam their shields into the ground, creating an immense amount of noise, spooking the great boar. The great beast lets out a roar, to the jeers of the other demons, flailing it's great tusks and bellowing in rage. The nose distracts it, enrages it , and pushes it forwards towards the centre.

Then, the attempt is made, some shieldbearers in reserve step back into the hole created by the wedge, trapping the demon, with the shieldbeaers on it's side slamming shields into it to try and hold it. It is a sound plan, or at least, it would have been, had it worked. The thing's flailing could not be contained by the steel shield, and it's flailing charge managed to cleave a line out from the trap, cleaving through two shieldbearers and several musketeers in the process. Fortunately, it's Armour has been chipped.

The savage hordes advance, the boar slamming into the shield line, surrounded by it's brethren. The corpses begin to pile up, as the shieldbearers are hard pressed to keep the line solid, only just holding back the sheer weight of the enemy. Mace blows fall hard on the demons, but teeth rip into the joints of soldiers, and units begin to go dark in the thought node.

>What do you do?

Rolled 1 (1d20)

>>298539
shieldbearers hold your ground
musketeers aim for the great boar upper body and detract it so the Robots with Maces go for its legs.

Use the chainblades to pierce its armor?

>>298582
That not fare this game can't end yet! Can someone else please give a idea please!

Right, I got caught up with drama. I apologize profusely. I'll start a new thread and we can do this properly on Tuesday evening GMT. If you'd prefer, I can do it tomorrow, but I'm heavily limited by an assignment I need to finish.

Thank you.

There's no way for me to get information to all of you, but I just got really, really terrible sunburn all over my face, neck and arms. This has delayed my assignment substantially. After I've showered and been covered in sudacrem, I'll see if I'm up to writing.

>>309903
Sorry to hear that hope you get better soon.

Yeah, I'll be posting tomorrow, maybe slightly early.

Shit, I have three active threads up. I just spent twenty minutes writing a new thread opening and it all got deleted.

>>313311
Sorry to hear that.
