It turns out that the Kriblit miners did not know that the "Deep Material" housed beneath it a large magma chamber, and digging far too greedily, accidentally opened it. The miners were incinerated immediately, and it started to pour throughout the entire complex of lairs, incinerating every last Kriblit, and sealing every last tunnel into an obsidian tomb sheathed in glass, what used to be the walls of the tunnels.
The Igniter's stunning effect seems not to faze the crustaceans, their shell probably to blame. Now, if there were a way PAST the shell...
Ornate but deadly weapons created,thick, heavy shields carved, the Trestan gain capacity for war as quickly as they expand their city, even though some clamor for a name for it. Amazingly, they have yet to go even near the entrance of the crevasse, and nobody will know of the now militant life in the deeps...
Hollowing out a rock is seemingly nothing for the skilled Sepiida, and the nest is made. several other crustacean types are found, but all are bigger than the Sepiida, but there are some tiny fish lazily drifting in the place where bones must have stood at one point, seemingly unable to do anything.
A few connections between Pyroids are able to get through, and communication to their command crystal is slowly restored.
(OOC) This is probably my last update, Aklyon will probably be back soon to GM.
