Treant Civilisation Quest (Part 1 ?)

C) lets make the forest change so that if we need to we can shut down movement towards our group in moments. Basically plan to cut off all patgs at the earliest danger signs and make enemies travel through impossible terrain. Also add some design so that others would be easily lost, but we could easily defend.

You used the day to channel your magic and shape the forest for basic defences. If someone not familiar with nature itself tries to come close to your tribe he could easily get lost in the forest as the trees grow larger and much more dense. You sucessfully channeled a basic forest labyrinth near you but had to rest for the remaining hours of daylight to recover from the magic.

You communicate with the oldest trees in the forest spend the next day thinking about the ancient times and try to see the near future. Through the gained knowledge you have gained access to a new type of Plant: The poisoned Spitting Flower ( in the future referred as poison flower). It grows on trees and is able to spit needles with concentrated venom on enemys, while still able to spare the life of the animals living under your protection. You can grow larger ones with legs out of saplings.

We link ourself with the plants and animals to gain access to their feelings and vision. The Forest is mostly untouched by fiendish civilisations such as the orcs and is completely free of demonic corruption. However we spot a small tribe of forest elves who seem to live with nature. Their houses are shaped from trees and bent by their mages to ensure a symbiotic lifestyle with nature. We feel no anger and could try to trade or alliance with them. However they never actively helped us in our great war and we could easily stomp them.

I'd prefer to be honest with the elves as they're the only meatbags who live in harmony with the trees. But if we're going this direction it should have some beneficial properties to get them to start using it in the first place.

Enhanced senses maybe? Improved connection with our forest? Healing?

so you really want drug addicted elves huh?

we once again consult the trees. However we cant quite finish our research by sunset.
RANDOM ENCOUNTER:
A Druid comes near our village, hopping on a giant toad. He asks us in the language of the trees to join our tribe. The druids have been known to support us since centurys and have never dissapointed our expections. However we can ask the hornets in our forest to scare him and his stinky toad away.

I am okay with going more of a symbiotic route with the elves. What if we find a way to sell sap, not addictive, but healthy, and we use the elves as the suppliers. Thrive into a metropolis?

Or the potential ultimate goal could be the orcs willingly worshipping us. To achieve this we may start up a religion using the elves as the first disciples.

The choice is rather aesthetic. either staying full plant of accepting other specimen in our tribe. His appearence is human but as with all mages it is in no way certain what race he is since the use of magic and in case of druids heavy "plant use" changes people.

Great plan, except I think orc culture might be too deeply aggressive what with the demonic influence. Best case they learn to fear the forest and avoid us. Humans are a different matter.

>>44016462
Also good names

>>44016429
>Orcs and elves on the same page
I feel like this is not the best idea.
I'm still a fan of the druggsap. And we are already researching so...

>>44016467
Here's an idea: Each non-plant of our tribe should undergo a ritual to gain a strong connection with us plants and even integrating nature into body and soul. Once they are part-plant, they are fully accepted and we share common goals.
We allow the druid in if he undergoes the ritual and becomes a part of us.
We lure the elves with the sap and get rid of the addiction once they undergo the ritual.

>>44016462
>>44016493
Bartleby and Todd.

>>44016508
So we would need to find some method or magic fusing plants to their offspring? Seems like it would take convincing but it is a good idea.

>>44016561
Drugs can be really convincing.
If we find this ritual, they would live of water and sun instead of the pain and death of other living things. We could all grow together. An eternal forest of peace.
I propose this as temporary philosophical end-goal

>>44016508
The druid may already have some plantlike properties as said in >>44016467, but I like what you're saying.

Here's a though: what if we made the drugging plant an entheogen in our religion of the forest?

>>44016584
go away myrm

>>44016515
bartleby and Todd it is than.
>>44016508
We are trees no fungi. Druids in this case are already pretty much one with the nature
>>44016493
elves do not have druids, they have spellweavers and singers to bend the forest. a druid is far more connected to nature and its animals

We allow the druid to join us. However we warn him not to do anything stupid, especially with this giant toad of his. He tells us his name is Bartleby and hhis toad is named Todd.
The researching Process was unhindered this time and we gain knoweledge to drugging Plants who slowly spread a luring scent in their near surroundings. The closer the target is lured the stronger the scent gets which causes him to go even closer and getting Hallucinations of naked green creatures with leaves as hair. This renders the target happy but helpless for a couple of minutes. As the spitting Flowers these grow on trees but cannot be cultivated to be mobile (yet). Furthermore we combine our spitting and drugging plants-research to allow Flowers to fire a paralizing dart.

Bon appetit OP

Once we have something to offer the elves, we should pay them to help us bring tree of life to this forest. Or even a limb from it.

>>44016746
You mean the old tree, right?

So, thoughts on trying to get the elves to use our drug as an entheogen?

Should we just offer it to them as something to get them high/make them "one with nature?"

>>44016770
I like it, but we should think about how to present it.
I'm thinking about acting all high and mighty:
"Greetings, we are the soul of this forest. We are all that's around you. You have served the forest well, dear elves, and so we will grant you a gift. A gift of enlightenment, so that you may be closer to the divine will of this forest"

If we are confident enough they will believe it.

we can´t really bring the "one tree of life here" he is currently in a half burned half corrupted forest and is probably infested with deamons/filthy orcs. rescuing him is something like a long-time-goal. we can only research the substitute tree of life to strengthen our magic/unity with the nature locally but it is in no way a replacement for the real one

>>44017185
counts as explanation from the gm and doesn´t take a turn obviously. He is a druid from the great swamp of Inarlith. Because of frequent shroom consumption he doesn´t remember much of his past. He can use magic very similar to ours, it grows weaker the greater the distance between him and healthy plants, which is why he came to us. If our tribe grows larger more Druids and other friendly individuals may seek us in to find a peaceful and safe place. His magical abilities are about the level of a Treant elder, with the difference he has greater offensive capabilities while sacrificing the live spending and explosive groth a Treant can channel. As all druids he can heal to some extend and communicate with most animals.
You gain knowledge of the location of the great swamp of Inarlith and know it´s populated by a great number of Undead who stayed a neutral ground in the war since they are neither on the side of the living nor willing to ally with infernals and they may prove as powerful allies if you can convince them of a peaceful coexistence.
His toad Todd is about 1.5m high, 2m long has a poison tongue, likes flies, insects and fish. They often take a long walk at night to see the moonlight falling through the trees. He although likes jumping.

Cool.
I like him but I feel he lacks a purpose. He has probably seen death and darkness, the deamons, undead and greed of mortal races.
I suggest he becomes the first of our plant-kin, figures out the rituals of our religion and becomes a preacher. A friendly face that can convince the other races of our planty-peace-plan.

While the treants are busy growing new saplings Bartleby and Todd explore the plains. They find a small centaur caravan who are currently celebrating something. They are either peaceful or way to drunk to be hostile towards Bartleby. Both the druid and his faithful toad join the drinking. The centaur caravan seems reallysurprised after seeing Todd emptying 3 barrels of rum however after they part ways the centaurs nearly die of laughter as Todd tries to jump away. both return safely.
You gain knowledge of a centaur tribe located in the plains. You are able to trade rum with the caravan the next 2 days, however the rum is really potent and may be able to kill elves with only a few glasses but you could always store it for later use.

Changing my vote from >>44017477

Most civs have a large-wall policy. Perhaps we could try to integrate different races into our forest on peaceful terms.

>>44017412
needs extra turn of the druid to explore the forest, for now he is needed somewhere else
>>44017477
>>44017491
while our treants concentrate on researching Bartleby takes the day to gather psychodelic flowers and other things the centaurs might enjoy. He even donates some of his own personal "special storage" (due to high roll) resulting in the caravan giving us 18 barrels of strong ale/rum and even giving us an extra in form of a special old centaur whiskey in exchange for some of the stronger stuff the druid offers. he tries to convinve them to spread word of our generosity however most of the caravan members have a bad hangover (as does Todd) and they dont seem to care much for now.
RANDOM EVENT: some of the animals and the trees near the elves inform us about the elves preparing their yearly celebration of the moonlight festival which might be a great opportunity to introduce ourself, be it by smuggling in some flowers or in a more diplomatic way.
about the religion: i suggest we wait until the rest of the research is done before we further develop our cultural structures.
In the center of the tribe our very own little tree of life is fully grown. In comparison to the other trees around him he looks rather small however he is radiating a aura of energy, further enhancing our magic, recouver abilities and enhancing the effects of our photosynthesis (hard word) resulting in lower resource needs. It can heal minor wounds in an instant. Todd licked it after his return resulting in instant recouvery from his hangover and enhancing his health beyond the normal.

>>44017682
>>44017707
seems like the trees decided to go with diplomacy.
Bartlesby hopps to the elves on the back of Todd to ask if we can join their festival. The leader of the elves agrees joyful and some of the trees manage to even get there in time. After a long night of celebrating the moon we hand them over our gifts to express our thanks. Meanwhile the elven leader and 3 of our Treants discuss the possibility of a union. They come to an agreement and join our tribe, however they wont be taking orders like brainless goblins. If we ever for example decided on killing innocents out of boredom it is unlikely they will cooperate with this. However both of our factions see most uninvited visitors of the forest as an enemy who ust be exterminated as quickly as possible to prevent harm on nature.
RANDOM EVENT: during the night of celebrating many elves and trees exchanged ideas of combining the benefits of both factions. Dryad research is available. (fast, feminine looking tree, deadly in close combat, natural bark armor, way smaller than treants, about the size of a human).

Research: Subspecies: Fungi 70%, Fertile Soil 50%, Dryads 0%
Magic: Nature Magic; archmage status while in forest, medium on other environement
Defenses: basic forest illusions/labyrinth, Poison Flowers, Drugging Flowers, substitute Tree of Life
Ressources: Sunny with heavy rain showers the next 22 days, stored water will be enough for 10 days without rain, the elves live of what the forest gives

medium success on the dryads and Fertile soil research
Since the elves are a race with a long live span they dont really contribute in our research spead, however the spellweavers assist to strengthen the connection to the forest even further. Bartleby and Todd explore the forest. While not finding any rivers there is a deep lake in the forest, close enough to function as a water depot if we decide on connecting it to our tribe. He spotted 2 caves who need further exploration if we decide so.

Fungi Research: we now can develop different types of mushrooms. for now we know how to grow basic poisoned mushrooms as well as some edibles. Our treants now naturally grow some of both on their bark for protection and food purposes. The tree of life compensates for the increased water conumption the shrooms create.

Once again the Treants and weavers connect their mind with the environment to gain knowledge. Meanwhile some of the elves donated for a scouting party (-2 male elves, -3 female elves, +5 elven scouts with bows and daggers). With their superior speed and sight it is an easy task for them to gather information on the swamp and its undead inhabitants. It seems like the undead are controlled by either a strong necromancer or a small group operating from a rebuilt castle in the swamp. They seem to prepare for war however their defense lines face the opposite direction of our forest indicating they want to defend their stronghold against an unkown foe. The scouts count somewhat between 200 - 300 undeads with light armor and some with bows as well as 15 knights on undead horses in heavy black armor who seem to have problems moving properly due to the ground being a swamp. Undead forces however are nothing compared to a raging Treant so even with the terrain being somewhat bad on our magic we could probably hold our ground against their forces and maybe overpower them.

That's a weird option. "Yes, you may breed now."

Anyway, let's visit the Centaur, negotiate an alliance.

>>44018417
Well we don't know what they're preparing to fight against, so right now I say we simply keep them from expanding into the woods with some quicksand behind them.
We can send scouts to go around and check beyond the castle.

Grow more saplings
How comfortable are you with spreadsheets?

>>44018453
my bad - it´s more like "encourage them" and enhance their fertility(which is naturally kinda bad on elves) with the tree of life(substitute)
>>44018461
why? i think it should be enough
>>44018456
why 2 rolls? we wont have enough magic near a rotting swamp to make quicksand on a large enough area to stopp a coordinated march against the forest, this would take about 2-3 days including preperation for the ritual (this is a impactful spell who shapes the earth, far more complicated than bending the forest which is our preferred territory)

>>44018558
The second one was for scouting.

>>44018558
Just wondering if natural population growth on a statistical scale should be a conscious group decision (as it may be a bit silly if we choose to neglect it for too many turns), or just natural growth every X turns on its own, with perhaps seasons, magic and fertilizer giving a temporary boost. So a spreadsheet would help with it.

Rolled 57 (1d100)

we scout for the castle and grow more saplings

rolling if our druid either visits our horse friends (1-50) or prepares the ritual to defend our forest with quicksand in the south (51-100)

>>44018615
Well actually I'll drop the quicksand option now that you mention it. And it was scout around and beyond the castle, not the castle itself.

>>44018613
the elves will grow slow and steady with the possibility to manually enhance our manpower if we wish so. the treants however only grow from saplings infused with magic which takes a seperate turn.

Bartleby and Todd travel to the south to make preperations for the Ritual. Bartleby channels the powers of earth while Todd shields him from possible danger. the Treants and Weavers grow saplings with unexpected efficiency (groth boost on these). Our scouts manage to sneak around the castle and the undead defences, however they cant spot a single enemy and return confused. After consulting with the elders and some treants they come to the conclusion the undead must be either fighting ghosts of some kind or their enemy is stealthed by the fog in the swamp or flying high above.

E) How about we diplomance the fuck out of those necromancers or whoever is in charge of the undead. We did it with elves and centaurs and it both went great.
Let's just go over there, offer them some "substances", and ask them why they are raising an army and what they are fighting. "Oh, you raise soldiers from dead material? That's great, we raise samplings from dead soil! Not risking any lives to defend yourselves, we like it! It's so peaceful! "

>>44019168
>>44019009
seems like a decent idea to finish dryads first before going into another research.
the quicksand will finish in 1 day.
the treants who are left in the village split up between researching and assisting the weavers in building defences. around the tree of life great trees are grown and their braks are hardened and infused with immense amounts of magic (treants are exhausted and will not be able to do anything next round) leaving only small holes around the holy tree to allow its power to still spread while giving it defense from large attacks and forcing invaders if they decide to attack the tree to go through the holes which would mean they have to fight a treant in a small corridor which is far from optimal for them.
The dryad research has finally finished and allows us to grow dryad saplings (grow faster than treant saplings). as mentioned above dryads are fast close combat freaks but limited in magic use.
RANDOM ENCOUNTER: Something with the dryad research being pushed this fast went wrong... in a good way. The first dryad emerging from the ground is alost as big as a treant, while keeping her fast movement. Her bark is as black as the night and her eyes are glowing in the dark. She lacks any magic skills however is as devastating as a Giant when it comes to strenght.
New Hero - name it!
