I flipped a coin for fire and life. Life was tails. Life won. You can expect the update to be posted in twenty-thirty minutes from now. Thanks for the interest guys. ^_^ My next question for all you forum savvy tech peeps, How do I name a spoiler? For example, How would I name a spoiler stats?
With your choice made, you extend the tendrils of your mind. Burying them deep into the white sphere and the red sphere. You feel power burying itself into your body, you find your mind reeling from the sensation for several long moments. When you recover, you shift your gaze out externally, and with but a thought you begin to mold your shapeless mass into that of a mighty Ankylosaurus. It is a long, tiring process. Nearly an hour passes before you complete it, with that done you find yourself feeling rather weak.
With a simple thought, your avatar bursts from the soft ground in front of the surprised lizardmen. It's nearly thrice the height of one of the lizard-folk. You thought you the design for the avatar had been rather impressive, It was a towering, lithe beast of dirt and moss. Thin slates of rock acting as scales, dirt providing the mass and body of the ankylosaurus, hundreds of thick vines running across it's body, acting like the tendons and muscles of the beast.
You speak through your avatar, it's words escaping from it's lips in a low, raspy growl,"
I am Seklus, Guardian of the Swamps, and the Life-bringer!" A tremor runs through your avatar, starting at it's tail and running through it's body. When it reaches the head, it's mouth open and a mighty roar escapes your avatar. The sounds in the swamp silencing for several long moments after that. The lizardfolk drop their weapons and fall down onto all fours, laying themselves out across the ground in worship. They begin chanting in their guttural, language and you feel waves of power flow into your body from their worship. Strengthening you and replenishing the precious energy you had used in creating your avatar.
You turn your attention to the shaman, leaving your avatar where it is as you whisper directly into the shaman's mind. "
Tell me Shaman...Who is it that hunts the Sud'kar into extinction? What foes have come unbidden and unwelcome into our lands to slay my people..."
The shaman jerks in surprise at the sound of your voice, recovering moments later, his grip tightening on his ornate staff. His claws digging into the tough wood, "
They are called the Udonii...They are of our race...Or were, they have been twisted by another one like you oh Seklus. Their sanity is gone, their respect for life has vanished....They consume all they come across, they destroy and they ravage. Our tribe used to be many great one....but in less than two seasons, they have reduced us down to what you see here...Only forty of us are left...Come great one, We will show you our village...And...I am known among the Sud'kar as Sjamn'd. "
At Sjamn'd's beckoning, the lizardmen raise and huddle around the shaman. Their claws hands resting easily on their weapons as they travel. With a simple thought, you move your avatar, the massive Anklyosarus lumbering after your new followers. It takes nearly hald a day to reach the village, the lizardfolk lumbering into their homes.
Simple, easily moved tents are scattered throughout the small clearing in the swamp. Little campfires dotting the area. All in all, you sense twenty-four flickers of life within the camp. Upon closer inspection, you can see the malnutrition and starved bodies of many of your people. It looks like the times had been hard on them. Your attention is drawn to Sjamn'd as he speaks, "
We lack the strength we once had...Our tribe has grown frail, we have been forced to move constantly, fleeing deeper and deeper into the swampland to avoid those cursed Udonii, we have only been surviving off of what little we could hunt while we fled. I beg of you Seklus....Do not allow us to fall to these twisted beings! Save the Sud'kar and restore us to our former glory and we shall follow you to the ends of the earth!..." A note on actions, I'll do as many as it seems reasonable to do in a turn.
