[Supernerd]

Duke Gul'Athur sighs as his forces begin to pull back.

"There's no way to stop them when they get like this. If you survive then I would still like to parley, though I would understand if you have no inclination to do so after this. While I have no intention to join them in attempting to forcibly convert you, I would recommend you negotiate a conditional surrender."

Turn 2.1: Year 1 - Month of Ruen [Start]

Ruen of Eternal Strife the Sword Dragon, the Fallen God of Conflict. Depicted as a many-headed dragon with thousand arms each wielding a different sword, it is said he fell in battle against a party of the greatest demigods born of Virtuous Gods.

Roll (3/2/1/0): On Expedition to Latze Plains
- Opportunity continued: Meeting with Zagan-Yoof

Roll rolls on it's wheel a bit.

"Great Herd-leader of the Bartoros tribes. I cam from my lands to explore the world, roll across it's many valleys, forests, plains. The Virtuous Races deplore monsters, and seek to destroy us whenever we rise. Even at peace, there is war. My King seeks an end to this cycle, where the virtuous gods declared the creations of the fallen gods anathema."

"I can say all that, but my only desire is to explore these vast lands for myself. My king has declared, all regions surrounding Zethe are to be be brought into the fold, that our civilization may grow to become the beacon for all monsters. No longer shall monsters be bound by the curse of the gods."

"That's about it really. I'm pretty simple in my own desires. Should you wish for your own desires to be heard, I'm sure the king will accept that too. You have seen the plains, but there is much more to see beyond them. That's why I left my own home in the Dream Realms."

"You have shown respect to our ways, and taken the time to learn of them. For that you have my respect Roll! But your grand words, and grander ambitions, I cannot trust! Not until we race across Latze, then will I see if your word is true. You have my word!"

Roll:
Attribute: STR 3 + MAG 2
Bonus: All-Terrain Vehicle (4)
Roll [6d6]: 4+[22]=26

Zagan-Yoof:
Attribute: STR 4
Bonus: Bartoros Champion (4)
Roll [5d6]: 4+[17]=21

The greatest Bartoros herds gathered to witness the legendary race that would decide the fate of Bartoros and Latze. The challenger Roll the Wheelie of Zethe, who would be known as in the future as the "Dream Racer" by the inhabitants of Latze, against Zagan-Yoof the Redhorn of Latze until then undefeated. The second the start call was heard, the two contestants took off in a cloud of dust, each riding faster than the wind and the birds. They raced across all of Latze, exchanging the first spot at countless occasions over the course of this duel. Then as the finishing line was in sight, and the two racers were shoulder to shoulder... Roll called forth the last reserves of his Dream Engine, propelling himself to victory.

"You race beautifully, Roll. This is my loss, and I have seen the freedom and honesty inside your heart. Bartoros! With you as witness, the Wheelie of Zethe is victor. You have seen his spirit. I, Bartoros the Redhorn, put my trust in Roll to pass the message to his King: the Latze Plains bow to the King of Zethe."

"We do not seek to harm the Forest and its Will, nor its inhabitants, Guardian. Nay, we wish for them to grow and flourish, guided by His Majesty's warm light," the Armor replies in a deep, rumbling echo, "The 'Conqueror of the Mountain', King Radeus of Zethe, wishes for the Forest to fall under His benevolent protection. How will the Forest answer?" it inquires, gauntlet clenching more tightly around the handle of its great mace.

The Old Gremlin shuts his gab, about to tear into the talking twig for referring to the King with such disrespect but being beaten to the punch by Eversor. "Indeed, the Master's wisdom and power are enough to protect you and your forest. Soon all the lands around the Mountain will know the glory of our King. Better to enjoy the peace and safety, don't you agree?" The Gremlin boasts, his malevolent gaze leering around the clearing.

The Guardian Tree frowned, its trunk creaking uneasily.
"Your might, we do not doubt. But your words, are another matter. Flourish and grow, you say. Give us proof, and we will consider. The Forest doesn't lie."

Roll spends the beginning of the new month talking with the Bartoros and with the help of his squad the Carrak scattered around. The Redsang Fields are surveyed, and Roll assigns his squad to the Plains of Latze to help smooth over the integration with the rest of the kingdom.

They then return to the Kingdom center, tell the king they succeeded

Spoiler: king chat (click to show/hide)

"Hey Kingship, how was your month? I got to race and race and race some more, and found some medical supplies that might need help developing. Also got the Bartoros herds respect. Zagan-Yoof's pretty cool."

"With a bit of work, we might be able to start with crops too? So long as the plains are kept pristine enough, racing round them is awesome."

and immediately set about telling the alchemist about the Redsang Grass and asking for help developing the resource wherever they can get it..

Spoiler: I hear the waitlist matters now (click to show/hide)

Name: Rama
Species: Rakshasha
Appearance: Rakshashas are among the most human-like of the monstrous beings, distinguished mainly by their massive builds, vicious tusks, and variable numbers of arms and sometimes heads. All these properties are most prominent in the strongest and especially cruellest rakshashas, and can change over a lifetime; particularly weak and wimpy rakshashas have been said to disguise themselves to live among humans in times past. Although of notable strength, Rama is still quite young (not to mention innocent of heart) and his monstrous features are not as prominent as they are likely to become.
Personality: The heir of a noble line of Rakshasha chiefs dating back to before the war in heaven, Rama sees himself as a beacon of honor in a fallen world. However, his desire for the status he sees as rightfully his can lead him to compromise his ideals, especially when he is pulled into the fray of petty politics.
Background: Dissent and scheming during the dark age between the war and now saw Rama's father slain by a usurper whose heavy-handed and iron-fisted rule (hands and fists being plentiful among Rakshasha rulers, it is easy to be both at once) has largely led the commoners to forget that he started as a populist revolutionary revolting against much the same conditions when Rama's father was chief. Growing up hating the usurper and hearing the laments of the people and their now heavily romanticized view of his father's reign, Rama and his supporters joined under the banner of Zethe in the hopes of gaining strength to return to the mountain strongholds of the Rakshashas and restore the legitimate ruling line - unaware of the generational cycle of prophecy in which he is caught.
Abilities: Rakshashas in general are not exceptionally magical, known instead for their sheer bone-gnashing strength, as well as a reputation for silver-tongued low cunning which unfortunately has seemingly skipped a generation in this case. Rama, in particular, though, is distinguished mainly by his natural aura of magnetic rulership which is yet untarnished by the bitter fruit of experience.

Regarding movement: How much are we able to move in a turn?

Duke Gul'Athur

Personal Request
Gul'Athur requests that a lower ranking officer be deployed to Parabes Mountain Ridge with the job of defending the Parabes Mining Village and keeping the region's savagery in check. The applicant should have at least 1 Leadership. The officer will be given command of the Hill Lizardmen Warriors and the Mountain Goblin Skirmishers.

Action
Gul'Athur will travel back to Tartarus, and recruit additional forces. An emphasis will be placed on Far'Gloen soldiers, ideally with each squad having a different combat roll such as ones with heavy armour, or ones with ranged attacks.

[Nakéen]

Regarding movement: How much are we able to move in a turn?

Your coverable distance is determined by your Base of Operations' Expedition Range.

Once on an Expedition, you cannot move to another region without first returning to your point of origin, which must be a Base of Operations. Currently there is only one base, the Capital.

Note: you can always travel back to the Capital.

"For as long as we remember, our sapling treefolks have been plagued by an ailment nipping their budding lives. Can your kingdom do anything about it?"

Eversor scratched the bottom of his helmet, as if scratching a nonexistent chin, before gazing at his mace for a moment with slight resignation. "As you might imagine, Guardian, illness is not my field of expertise. We may not be able to resolve this quickly until other Lords arrive, but it will be resolved, on my honor."

The Armor of Zethe turned to his smaller counterpart. "Gnarl. It may be prudent to determine if this ailment is magical in origin."
