Our domains, albeit safe, are too small fro three different races. We need unity, common ground, but also space so we can breath.

1. the holds to the east and west are to be expanded. Pushing against the underdark has never been an easy task, nothing to it if not to keep trying. We should enforce the use of Demon and Drow units to push in darkest caves, for their perfect darkvision.

2. At the same time we have our best Transmuters and Alchemists devising a way to mix our blood together. Demon, Drow and Deep Human. Not only through crossbreeding, which is a slow and progressive affair, but also through magics. [Research Technology for Metamorphosis, +5 Dark Energy is used]

Rolled 40 (1d100)

[Combat Report]

[Epic Success, Zagrom]

Your blitz takes them totally by storm–flying at the helm of your army, the mutants run and flee in terror in the face of a dragon–and one at the head of such a mighty host!

[You gain most of the mutants remaining territory, and shatter their resolve–the Mutants faction is no more]

>>14391

You have gained a [Proper Barracks], and can now mint redcoats to face the horrors of this eldritch darkness.

You produce an able-bodied regiment of soldiers. You are no longer reliant upon a citizen militia and will sustain 1d5 casualties rather than 1d6 casualties upon defeat.

>>14392

You crush the mutants, but there's a problem at the cannonworks–your superior Goblin Forges prevent disaster thanks to built-in failsafes, but you narrowly avoid catastrophic explosion by dumping a section of the works into water. It's fine, but all work on the new guns was lost.

>>14393

You construct an EPIC FORTIFICATION to rival the Bone Gate

You dig well and much! But you've tapped that direction out as well, without crossing the water or leaving the tunnel system.

>>14414

You manage to steal the crystal!

You've gained a Relic, the [Duergar Lava Crystal]. If you spend 5 Dark Energy, you can reduce an enemy's attack roll by 10 wherever this has been properly installed (cannot cancel nat 95+).

Your soldiers grow stronger and more adept. They can Deep Strike through heavy caverns without the usual limitations on travel.

>>14434

Expansion goes well.

Your research into magickal racemixing is frowned upon by most of the experts you tap to do it. No progress is made, but you wonder if it isn't because those assigned are incapable, or unwilling…

Rolled 46, 31 = 77 (2d100)

The dark elves - or drow - have a high tolerance of what the ignorant surface folk may call "The Dark Arts." Once exiled by a matriarchal society that feared his ambition, Arathan returned at the head of an undead host and made his former home and its inhabitants bow.

1. The priestesses of Llolth clearly don't quite understand the situation. A magician of my caliber can't be expected to manage every little thing in my expansive domain. They can install their matriarchs, as long as they accept my authority. But after their scheming, they should expect to be watched closely.

2. With administration being delegated to the priestesses of Llolth, I can establish an academy for magicians at the base of my tower, taking in promising drow from across the northern realm.

I'd like to apologize for the delays.

We will renew nightly updates tonight by 11pm.

"Hullo! Hullo!"

A British vessel approaches the borders of the Magocracy, carefully giving distance from the tempestuous waves of its southern bank.

"Are the Wizard's there?"

>>15370

The mists coalesced and parted ways to reveal a tall and pale man wearing a hood and holding a staff. "Aye. This is our land. You can find the Drow to the southwest, at the river's mouth. Daemons are more within the land."

He raises his staff to signal someone your party can't see. "What is it you sunny folk want? Talk to the Mage Lords?"

Actions [continue attack; develop underwater breathing]

–

1: Zagrom continues his assault on the Aboleths. His fury is considerable as he acts as a living battering ram and plows through the feeble defenses erected to fight lesser enemies. The tidalwave of goblins floods the cavern and attempt to compel the aboleth to surrender rather than to risk an assault on their underwater lair. [continue attack]

2. Zagrom hurriedly tries to improvise underwater breathing techniques for the goblins using the duegar under his command in case the aboleths continue resistance. "YOU DAMN DWARVES DIDN'T TELL ME THESE THINGS LIVED UNDER WATER!" [develop improvised aquatic breathing]

Rolled 14, 69 = 83 (2d100)

1. Tunnel around the collapse of the ceiling to continue the assault. Devote 5 Dark Energy to empower the workers to get this done quickly.

2. Build several tunneling machines in the forges so this will not slow the assault in the future.

1. "Begin to assault on the Magocracy. I will open a rift and rush their defenses at close range. I have had enough of these…abominations. Their things will be ours, and their secrets will be secrets no more….BY THE POWERS GET ON MY BACK ALREADY. NO, NOT LIKE THAT! YOU AWFUL CREATURES I WILL WIN THIS DESPITE YOU!" [Shadowrend Portal: Magocracy Capital, or close to it]

2. Zagrom masses the host to enter the portal. The entire force is huge, and stretches for many leagues; it houses every form of weapon, goblin, and device that Zagrom has. Cannons line up in the rear to begin to siege in case the offensive buckles, and the shock troops that Zagrom has specially selected look eager to kill. Zagrom himself looks optimistic, and speaks in calm tones. Zagrom stands ready to enter the portal first, having developed techniques for this in previous battles. He grins slightly.

1. Seal off the aboleth cavern entrance to our tunnels with a fort, finishing the enclosure process - we will no longer be just a large camp in the underdark, we will be able to say we're an under-hold

3. Further explore (ideally behind blast shields in a tunnel we can seal off if we need to) what weaponry we can develop with dark and glowing ore - how does it react to being hit, or exploded, for example?

4. Mining time - there's not all that much room to expand, but we can still dig a bit more without breaching any caverns to the south and east

Name: Myceilia

Colour: Magenta

Race: Sentient Fungus

Racial Description: In a dark cavern such as the underdark, all manner of things can arise in the squalid pallor and in its umber crevices. The Myceilia are such a thing. From the humble fungus that grew plentiful on the cavern's walls, floors and even the roof, they arose slowly from the earth itself, the dark energy that inhabits the cavern infusing them with sentience. They are a new race, directionless and having no motive other then the will to survive. They worship the Great Uttershroom, a giant mushroom from which the original spores of life are said to have spawned, and new mushroom creatures arise from everyday, and will do anything to defend it. Naive creatures, having just sampled the ichor of life, they know not the intricacies of modern rhetoric, and their culture can be said to be lacking, but make no mistake, these creatures are not stupid, and many a stray creature has learned that the hard way from a spear to the throat.

We're at that point in the game where the highest possible number you could've rolled before you bonuses are applied is the pop you're guaranteed per turn.

1.2. Attack the recently fallen capital in an attempt to rescue as many of the Magocracy we can. Since they need a place to live.

Offer to turn them into Curse Spiders so that they may benefit from our increased strength and a place amongst our elite for the Arcanists and Spellcasters.

Fuck the phone wiping my post each time

1.Shore up our southern defences and construct barracks and accommodation for both the dwarves that came in our hour of need and for those that may follow in future.

2. Though it wasn't a problem (and indeed probably made it easier in capturing it when it went rogue) the engineers misread the instructions in constructing the battleship - this time the instructions are clear: using the Dark Steam Engine and the locomotive systems we've developed, build a battleship that can traverse caves on mighty wheels/treads. The motive systems may need to be improved, but better that slow us down now than be a problem later.

[Adv] Great Library: you brought some of the greatest minds' of history with you in prose, and gain +15 to discovering or inventing anything–so long as nothing happens to those books…

[Dis] Sneering Imperialist: you've shown these monsters what-for! Those dwarfs are upright chaps and the other humans, if that's what they are, really aren't so bad–but the more foreign lifeforms are difficult for you to interact with, and you'll need to make a roll exceeding 25+ to peacefully occupy any of their settlements.

1-2. The Dwarves are working on some kind of Land Ship!

We should build a parts factory, so we can build that and other vehicles with much greater speed.

3-4. Build a Dwarven Battleship of our Own!

>>18460

1. You establish firing batteries and take up strategic positions along the edge of the city.

2. Your warped goblins are able to wield some of the strange ore to soulstrike foes–incorporeals take damage like the weapon was enchanted, corporeal foes' souls are damaged even if the weapons bounce off their armor.

>>18464

1. You crush down upon the Aboleths lake. By the time you arrive the portal is sealed shut. Likely for the best.

2. Your realm is fortified with fungal emplacements. They are formidable, to say the least.

>>18466

1. You manage to evacuate Magocracy citizens–Drow, deep humans, and daemons alike.

2. You gain +2 Population from those willing to go over.

>>18558

1. The southern tunnels fill up with camp towns and barracks digs. The tunnels become more like roads, and your holding more like a city, if one at war.

2. The prototype explodes! Thankfully your Dwarves are used to this and med-evac the wounded with no casualties.

>>18691

1&2. You construct a parts factory, you think creating mass-producable weaponry and vehicles will be easier in the future.

3&4. You gain a landship of Dwarven influence, in terms of design.

A final coalition of Drow from the unmolested temple and Battlemage Krzzt Balgaran enter the fray as the hulking Curse Spider Titan assaults the defenses.

His plan is to portal into the city's towers and pour out into the streets around the Ziggurat, then lower the defenses for the Titan to wreak massive damage. This requires a roll of 80 or more taking all factors into account.

Rolled 19 (1d100)

Krzzt Balgaran makes his play to retake the capital. He is attempting to portal his men in and lower the barrier…

First, I'd like to thank you for what has been my first builder as a player, it was great fun.

While there might have been a few more turns left in it, I'd agree with your conclusion that it was pretty much done (particularly with the drop-off of players and various constraints of academia)

Never ones to rush in haste, the expedition is content to have been a success and to add another heavily-fortified chunk to the dwarven kingdoms - the desire to delve has been sated, and with only a couple of minor disasters.

Had the expedition's concept for a landship come about we would have mined the 3 hexes North West from our most northerly tunnels and launched an assault against his capital

Had the Drow stayed in the game we might have dug a canal and warred with them.

Our peaceful endevours would probably have been to dig deeper - what is beneath the Underdark, we wonder?

Whether this is something we'd do by hand, or if we'd build a great drill powered by dark steam energy, we do not know, but if there's one thing we'd do, it's dig, dig, dig deeper

All willing could approach the center of a City of the Web and become more then they were, for the curse was a curse no longer. The Curse Spiders renamed themselves to Seekers of Freedom and began an aeon long campaign to liberate all those who would be called lesser.

Throughout their long and lurid history they would continue to seek out those races who would enslave or conquer and rescue their victims, and among their ranks those rescued found equality and strength. There were no lesser beings in their lands, only the strength of the Drider.
