Rank 7 [Oozing Horror]

Rolled 7 (1d10)

>>22986

Total:63

The oozing horror, while not overwhelming your forces, beats them back from it's lair in the sewers. You do not take any serious casualties, but your equipment is often scarred by the acid of it's body. Behind your retreating forces, it lets off a caterwalling 'teakettle' screech, and hurls a pattern of acid into the wall. One of your Fae Deathknights recognizes it as Old Arcadian, the language of the FaeLords, but can tell you nothing else.

>>22974

Yo dawg I can't log in to irc right now but you forgot actions 2 through 4

>>22776

Apologies Westerner.

>Leopold

1) The munitions were shipped in by the Centris River, down one of the tributaries from the eastern crags, not the Cragbarons, but the Eastern lords. That things marked from the far south of the near-eastern nations to the north is a disturbing things, displaying coordination on a scale unheard of in centuries.

2) You have a Lvl.3 Ship of the Line requisitioned. It will only be usable in actions directly relevant to the investigation of the Emperor's death, and the captain is not personally loyal to you. You will need to renew the ship's lease in 1 year's time.

3) You need to expend oaths for this one. But everything is good to go as soon as you want to begin upgrading.

4) The Adventurers you hire take off. You get regular reports from them, and you know they've found a series of 3 valley's in the western center mountain range, which seem to be magically put into stasis, the seasons not changing for them. One is constantly in winter, another constantly a desert, another with conditions reminiscent of the central empire's forests and plains. They have found ruins in these places, but no traps. Their last message, before contact is lost, is of finding a massive gate house leading deeper into the mountains.

>>22997

That was supposed to generate oaths, but I forgot that part.

>>22972

"Of course." She says, nodding slowly. "So I would gather that you are going to return to your estate soon enough?" She says, before pausing and trying to recuperate the sentence. "I mean, It would be a shame to see you depart so soon, but I can fully understand. With out your duty to the High Priest, it certainly seems like you will need to prepare your holdings for the war with the Crag barons" She says glumly.

>>23009

"I will be in the Capital a while longer I have quite a bit of unfinished business" he says running his fingers through his hair.

"The reason I arrived in such I state is because I was hunting a beast that seems to have taken up living in the sewers here. It preys on the poor and hungry, there is no way I could leave here with something like that running around. With the Regents in power I feel we will all be seeing my more Senate meetings in the future so I doubt I'll be gone from the city for long."

Rylza sews the pillow in front of her in silence as she ponders briefly. The river barge gangs disappearances we're indeed disturbing, but what was far more troubling was her inability to identify the ones that had come to fill in their place. Never the less, she had to ensure everything was well.

1) Begin investigating these new syndicates personally, and see if I can not dig anything up about them. It is strange that so many barge syndicates had so quickly been brought down. Have the captain accompany me on this for protection.

Merchants, workers, unions and guilds, so long as they scrupulous in their record, and hard working, shall earn my support.

The Ichaival Company is not a noble house, not even a normal hereditary lineage. Established by Ichaival, it serves as his business within which he does a wide range of profitable enterprises such as technological design, production, and sale as well as other side businesses such as, legal and sanctioned, mercenary and privateer work.

Personal Fluff: Ichaival

Unique among his fellow Iron Forged, Ichaival is one of the few of their kind with a fierce sense of individualism and ambition. While as with all Iron Forged he is imbued with a personal sense of being a part of their god, he himself has come to understand this in a much, much deeper level, beyond any of his fellow brothers could have imagined.

At night, he is filled with dreams. While not uncommon, his are intensely fierce and “as sharp as awareness itself.” He is filled with visions and designs, not whispers but tongues of knowledge hitherto unimagined of the devices and machinations of the Iron God. At first frightened, then intrigued, something far more extraordinary happened.

He could not only speak to the Machine Spirit's as they were . .it felt as though he could hear them in the aether, asking to come into this reality, to be conceived, to be made. A torrent of voices of Machine Spirits like a maelstrom, calling to him on the winds as though willed by the Iron God himself. Empowered by this divine providence, he soon found he was discovering things under their influence, their voices, learning more than he ever could even among those learned in the scientific arts of the Southern Isles, where he almost felt. . .stifled.

Perhaps that is why he finds himself here, in the Central lands, rather than the Iron Isles whence he was forged. All he knows is that since that time it has been his mission to establish himself a resource base, an enterprise not limited by any kingdom or nation that will allow him to freely pursue the task given to him. To craft, to design, and occasionally, to sell and spread the Iron God's will and designs. He would find everything he needed, here, all he had to do was take it.

"A creature in the sewer?" she says, raising a eyebrow. She curls her fingers into her palm, before placing her hand under her chin to think. "That is rather disturbing over all. Per-say, do you know what kind of creature is it?" she says, her eyes seemingly some where else.

" Well it was like a big oozing mass of black goo, everything it touched hissed and dissolved. Its whole body was full littered with the bones of its unfortunate victims. I doubt you have anything to worry about it was deep, and I really mean deep, in the sewers. I'm sure it ain't got any threat to the young prince." William explains with a grin.

House Fluff: The Naythanial family dates back to the time of the First Emperor, when they helped build the great works that have served the Empire for generations. The Naythanial family was given the rights to tax the use of the highways and the massive Gratestone bridge. Each pillar that supports the giant bridge rival a castle's towers in size, and serve as the Naythanial's ancestral castle. Growing rich off the taxes, the Gratestone Bridge slowly grew a town in it's arches. Now a major trade hub, the Bridge holds thousands of people suspended below it's overpass. The Naythanial family has reaped the benefits of this, becoming immensely wealthy.

Personal Fluff: Raised in the shadow of an ancient bridge, Rand was fascinated by the mighty constructions that his ancestors. From an early age, he proved to possess a rare intellect and seemed to know exactly how to build things he never learn. At the young age of 12, he engineered a new milling house design, that functioned at close to 90 percent efficiency. Trained in all manner of engineering, the young heir to the Naythanial estates and highway soon began work for the Emperor. Apprenticed to the previous Seneschal, Rand was placed in power after his mentor retired to his lands in the south. With sudden control of the Central Empire, Rand vows to make the Empire great again for when his liege comes of age.

She nods, taking another sip from her drink. "I wish you the best of luck than. I'd offer to help, but I believe I would only hinder your hunt. Although, with you on its tracks, It does put me at ease." She says with polite grin. However, she turns her head as the a chime echos through the city, the bells toiling to the hour. "It would seem that the hour is quite late." she says, moving out her chair. "I better be returning home soon. But, I did have quite some fun. We should do this once again, when the times are better."

"It's been a pleasure miss Rylza. I am always up for a good drink and dance and you have proven you can do both" he exclaims standing up from the table.

"I assume you have an escort home? Don't want ya heading through these low parts of the capital without protection" William says after giving a small awkward bow.

"Oh, I suppose I have a carriage waiting for me outside. But if you wish, I'd would happily let you escort me home." She says, opening the Inn's front door, revealing a plain wooden ride.

>>23098

"It would be an honor but a speedy carriage ride is sure to be the greatest protection and I have a long day of hunting in the morn, so till next time Miss Ryzla" William says once again giving a bow this one slightly less awkward.

>>22979

>Inemir Tal'sol

1)The staff is complete! You now possess an Elemental Crown Stave.

2) You bring on an enchanter to your forces.

3) Es Spiritum Merchantilias doesn't have records in the traditional sense, but they give you about 4 dozen separate locations around the world that could possibly have been used, refusing to name their clients from areas that you have no direct or current knowledge of. They do however give you a list of materials that could have been used to produce a storm spell. 75% of them actually are traceable back to YOUR office of Archmage. The others are scattered amongst Eastern and Western Lords, with the majority being from various coastal lords. The vast majority of these components could be used for a great deal of other things as well however.

4) A fire burns across the east, a thousand sparks come together in the mythic phoenix, the bird of war and rebirth, the bird that flew across the birth place of the First True Human, that oversaw the apotheosis of the Dragons and the death of Faelords, the Phoenix strikes at the heart of the center.

>>22989

>Johan Varkas

1) The men are too nervous, and the vast majority are marching to war in the east, the General has called them there, something big is going down, and this is why he cannot be there. He leaves specific instructions. His vassals, and his position as General, in the event that he dies in the middle of combat, is to be passed to Lord Varkas for the duration of the war, or until he is replaced or ratified by the Empire. He left orders also that you were to follow with the vangaurd and secure the supply lines as you went.

2) Unforunately, the smithies have been emptied by the war effort of your liege.

>>22997

>Eeo Gelwar

1+2) You generate one social oath from your negotiations with beuracrats and middle men on all levels, the reigns of your control over imperial beuracracy growing tighter.

>>23012

>Rylza Aserveti

>Can't gain bonuses when you don't state your type of action. As long as you declare the oath type being generated, I'll consider it the same thing as declaring the type of action.

1) You find that there has been a concentrated effort, especially in the movement of magical goods between places. The Syndicates are all Eastern Syndicates. More than that you can't find out.

2) You gain a single economic oath, and several guilds are more than happy to gain the sponsorship of members who otherwise would have been unable to get a leg up in the world.

>>23020

>Ichaival

1) Gain 2 Economic Oaths, your sales are going amazingly well, and they're even proceeding inland now.

2) There are no food stuffs left in a condition capable of being cured. The food itself is tainted, but your efforts due lead you to correcting the packaging process, preventing a chemical sealant leak that was tainting the canned foods with a mixture of mercury, lead, and other heavy metals. The canned foods take off back in the new-innovation hungry Southern Isles, but the coastal cities of the mainland are slower to trust on this front, even if they trust your weapons manufacture now.

>>23022

> Baron William Turner Thurmin

1) Roll conflicted action for this.

2) Your engineers are laughed out of the halls, MMG? Mega Mining Golem? Why expend so much just to dig into such a dangerous place? When other places are far safer and less expensive to mine. MAD they call you in the halls of learning.

>>23027

>Rand Naythanial

1) Gain 1 shadowy oath, you have a little network of spies ow, and some connections with the underworld.

2) Work progresses, but stalls as the arches of the cathedral have difficulty remaining in place. (236/500)

3) Even going further afield from the capital, they have trouble finding anyone, perhaps more success could be had in the kobold caravans and way stations though?(139/200)

4) Your inventors discover an incredibly cheap, and overlooked enchantment that previously had been used simply to keep books from decaying over time. With relatively minor alterations, it's discovered the same spell can be used on dried foods! Allowing them to last for years if kept properly stored! Gain 1 economic oath and 1 magical oath as the patent for the recipe pours money into both the imperial coffers and your personal accounts.

>>23137

> Cichol Ta'lach Centis

1) Unfortunately with the war effort being blazed by the general, and the senate vote finished, there are simply not that many members of the peerage in the capital currently.

2) You find in third underspiral of Emain Macha, the one devoted to Morrigan herself, a door that can only be seen when one of the blood of the emperor touches it. The writing on it is cryptic, and predates even what Abhean understands in terms of writing, but from the patterning of symbols and characters, is potentially Original Arcadian, the first written language, what little he knows allows him to decipher that it is in the pattern of a Fae Riddle Epic, a story disguised as riddles that in turn disguises a greater truth. Only by understanding the stories and solving the riddles is it possible to see the truth.

3) The garrisons could be brought to full strength within 4 (8 turns) months if a muster was called, as they primarily serve as a method of keeping an eye on the Crag Barons, rather than an actual line of defense against a hostile military foe in most cass.

4) There is absolutely no precedent for doing such.

1. [Religious] (Earn Oaths) Work on an Effigy to the Iron God. We were created in his image, so shall we create his image. This will give us favor with the other members of the faith in the isles. The Hydra shall gather metals from the deep, whilst the druid will supervise it's construction.

1 Druid of the Iron God (1*2)=2

1 Hydra (2*2)-1=3

Total: +5

2. [Economic] (Earn Economic Oaths) I am not only an inventor, but also a tradesman and this ship is not for decour. I will continue to earn more oaths through the old ways I know best, ensuring deliveries of goods and messages at a fair price, while my crew ensure the full speed and safety of this ship.

1 Airship (2*1)=2

1 Engineer [x2] (2*2)-1=3

Bonus: Personal Prowess "Air Trade"

1. [Social] Progress with the social housing had been rather lacking. However there wasn't a lot of other options for Morgana so this time she would simply have to stick with the plan and continue to construct housings for the poor. After all Rome hadn't been built in a day and she would be able to put her name all about in hidden places, a silent reminder for the generations to come.

>Assign:

+ [Architects] Guildsmen Rank 2 (2*2)

-1 from Vassals

Total: 7

2. The nobility was seemingly unwilling to accept Bello's divine connection to the Dragon Gods, no matter how evident it may be. Needless to say Morgana was upset but their short sightedness was to be expected, after all they did not worship the long line of Emperors' who had ruled these lands.

While the people immediately inside the city certainly had no need for such a majestic Dragon perhaps there were farmers outside the city who were faced with some kind of monster problem, this Bello would certainly be able to resolve easily. Now as was custom with farmers they would have an overlord and this overlord would hopefully prove to be just as thankful as the farmers themselves.

Guys, it has been a while, and interest has obviously flagged.

I'm sorry, but it's obvious I bit off more than I can chew with this, and haven't been able to run it as well as I had hoped.

I'm shutting it down here, but I'd love feedback on how I could run this game better in the future.

I'll throw in my two cents then.

1. I loved your lore and your rule set. It was obvious you worked hard on it and it worked. I especially liked the oath system.

2. It felt like you were throwing out empire destroying enemies way too fast, as we would have had to find the emperor's assassin, fight off the eastern lords being united, and find out how to fight the horrors from the underdark. That may have been rng and if so ignore this.

3. I enjoy your willingness to work with player ideas and make them balanced.

I hope you run this again one day, your main problem was that some of the major players, such as Anni, DMW, and Maldaris disappeared which may have thrown out important plot points.

My interest has not waned, but I am sorry to hear this. It was a magnificent setting with an interesting system that I do hope may see the light of day again.

I still in fact remember the major hype over this game and the interactions within it. I want to think that if it ever got updated again, interest would return.

>>23516

On that note, as I have always said, every game must take into account the possibility, if not inevitability, of people dropping out or others joining in.

This is not because they have always lost interest, there could in fact be legitimate reasons like having less time, internet, or other things.

But if a game cannot function without a "vital players" then that bears great risk.

In short, I still have to say you ran a great game and I can't really find fault in the way you handled it. I especially enjoyed the religious aspect and how individual players who were chosen by the gods could be spoken to them.

Honestly, if you were to tell me you were going to update soon, i'd post
