Due to difficulties I will be unable to continue.  I thought it would only be a few days but it terns out that it will be a month at very minimum.  Like Fenrir I may be able to make visits now and then but I am essentially gone.  I don't want to be but I have no choice.

((NO! WHY?  At least tell us why you cant continue?))

[Akroma]

((the pieces will not be removed. They will simply be reduced to NPCs, forsaken by their god. They won't join an alliances, nor put up any notable resistance if attacked.
Still, it's really sad. That ruins much for Imp and Jamini (implied that Jamini soon returns))

Anyway,


Turn 36 - Summer

I will wait with my turn untill Istrian posts the battle results

****SITUATION REPORT : Giants vs Tengu****

The Giant slave-hunting patrol slowly made its way to the place where the smoke came from. It wasn't far from their current position and the leader believed they would reach the place in less than a week. The soldiers were in high spirits. They had not seen battle and were longing for a bit of pillage and rape and killing. As such, they were berzerking through the forest, killing or chasing away any wild animal.

These signs did not fail to be noticed by the Tengu who did expect trouble since they sighted a burned village on the other side of the lake they had settled upon. On the order of Yakazu, the highest-ranking local priest of the twin-faced goddess, they had began to prepare for flight.

One of the Giants eventually discovered something nasty : a trap. He discovered its presence in the most sophisticated way for a Giant, by stepping on it. The trap was a crude one, a few bamboo spears stuck into a large hole that would be enough to kill a deer or a bear. Yet it wasn't enough to pierce the Giant's mail boots. This discovery, however, was more than enough to warn the giants of potential hostile presence and they took measures to avoid trouble.

They calmed down a bit and began to move in a huddled group, constantly scanning the surrounding forest for signs of movement. They also took some aditional precautions for when they camped. They always stayed together, even in those moments when a Giant needed to relieve himself.

Eventually, they reached the Tengu village and charged in at night, weapons drawn, shields at ready. They were surprised on their arrival to find a lifeless village and no sign of movement around. As unhappy as they were, they still managed to catch a glimpse of a small winged creature, flying away.

The dissatisfied Giants shouted some praise to the cowardice of their foe, and got to the task of pillaging the village. Since the Tengu had built their houses on top of trees, the giants had to uproot them one by one. Inside they discovered some food, a few tools and a handful of gold and silver coins. Without much thought, they put the uprooted trees to the torch and left with a sigh.

The Tengu, as soon as they heard the warning of their priests, had fled in all directions and crafted some underground lairs where they stayed until it was safe to go out. The priests themeselves snuck out at night and went to observe the Giants as they camped, with a sinister plan in mind.

Unfortunately, they had found no weakness in the enemy's camp that they could exploit to achieve their goals. The Giants always stayed together wherever they went, and the camp was too tight to even think about what they had wanted to do.

After a few months of following Giants around the priests finally got bored, and the Giants departed. At some point during the season the Giants and the Tengu had the occasion to observe a giant creature glide through the sky. While the Tengu knew what it was, the Giants only offered it some insults.

=====================================

So far, this has been the most boring situation I had to write about. I hope no-one minds the lack of action or juicy descriptions but both players did not give me much opportunity for that.

I'll also dispense with the usual battle analysis by saying that the Giants got a bit richer. Though the handful of coins is a handful by Tengu standards, that is to say, it's really not much, the food was probably consumed during the following week and I'm not even sure if the tools were taken or burned (that's up to you Nhiphanter)

The airship on which Shel was had not been equipped for an exploration expedition. It did not have any way to speed up its movement, no laboratories, libraries or even long-range observation apparatus. The only useful thing Shel had was a delicately crafted long-view which he was using to observe the site where the meteorite fell.

Unfortunately the range of the long-view was far from impressive. He could only distinguish a massive lump far to the north but coulod not get any useful details. Eventually he got bored with observing the far-away place and went to his quarters.

He had had the presence of mind to take a few books with him. The one he was reading now dealt with stones, ores and metals, their uses, their properties, the most common places where they could be found, etc...
=======================================================
Aboard the Shuhalal, Thlash was able to observe an interesting spectacle on the ground below. Some gigantic humanoids were rampaging through the forest, killing everything in sight. When they sighted the massive airship they raised their weapons to the sky and shouted something that could not be heard from the distance, though it was not hard to guess what they meant.

Thlash also observed the ruins of two settlements around a lake and some other Giants lugging some large load. Thlash guessed that this region was as calm as he expected it to be, with every single race lying to the others and fighting wars against its neighbours.

The East was so much more peaceful and Thlash longed to return back home, among civilized people instead of those barbarian brutes and flying goblins. But he had a mission, and he intended to finish it before returning.
=======================================================
Shraal was meeting again with the Shadow Council. This time, more shadows were assembled. Even those like the Shadow of War who avoided appearing unless the situation required it was here. It could even be said that this time was the first time since the Thelash arrived in this world that the Council was so numerous.

The Shadow of War spoke first :
"We have noticed many races now. Many have proved to be aggressive. We should plan their destruction. It may become a necessity."

The Shadow of Serenity spoke afterwards :
"We do agree that aggressive races can be dangerous. They will hider our quest for perfection. We need no interference from outside. Yet it would be better if we could avoid open conflict."

The Shadow of Death then spoke :
"We suggest that the Thelash start looking for the weaknesses of other races. Weaknesses we could easily exploit to cause their downfall."

The Shadow of Wisdom :
"This task should be carried out diligently but with discretion. These young races are unlikely to be wise enough to look for a casus belli before attacking. Do not give them one, however."

The Shadow of Perfection, leader of the Shadow Council :
"You now know your tasks, Shraal. Failure might cause the destruction of the Thelash. You may go now."

The Greater Shadows then vanished, and Shraal left the council room.

((What ? Not even a single opportunity to attack ? Even for those who were sleeping ? not quite what I was imagining. Well whatever. I will assume that after the gianst left the area, the Tengu moved back, only a few miles away from where their village once was, but still on the same tile. That means, no pop growth for them this turn))

((I'm leaving the population and immigration stuff to Armok, since he's doing a great job at it, also this turn the RP will more narrator-ish, because explaining what happens in the cities each time from the character's point of view is getting tiring and boring for me))

...And thus, the the Unified Minds continues to grow. Golems and !!Elves!!, hand in hand, working to build a common future, a future of peace, prosperity, knowledge, and science. The Great City of Mindgates, along with the now-suburbs city of Nova, advance at an incredible speed, and not just in basic researches and technological advancement. Everywhere around the city, culture spreads at the speed of light. Music, ounce unknown to golems, has been brought by the !!elves!!, and now all the golems in the city are enthralled by this new kind of artistic expression, leading to the creation of new, musician golems, and even theaters and operas, were the population amasses every night. Cultural standings also begin to change, with Clay golems, ounce considered completely useless and low-class citizens, are slowly growing closer in equalness to other golems, and the new "MINION" golems are becomming wide-spread in all houses, shops, and all other places, acting as servants, builders...

Pets are also beginning to become widespread. Golems of all shapes and sizes, ranging from golem kittens (uh-oh) to golem elephants (yikes!) to even golem carps in the local ponds (we're doomed  ). Even better, Golems even buy pet-golem making kits, which can be used even at home, creating custom pets made of common house-hold material and glass cut to be the soul-gem, and then animated through a simplicized soulforging ritual that gives the pets low-level souls. This diversity and customization possibilities granted by the kits have lead to the holding of "Pet War Tournaments" between the local populace. (These pets are harmless to anything larger than they are, so they only fight each other, so NO they are NOT overpowered things, they are TOYS)

All these advancements are directly connected to the advanced researches being continued in the basements of Mindgates, despite previous failures. The Guardians Projects is still being continued, as well as a new project to create a Scout/Explorer/Diplomat golem that would be used to explore the unkown outside world and attempt to find-out what was the meteor that had fallen many months ago. Furthermore, the art of Soulforging !!elven!! souls into golem bodies has finally been perfected, as well as the soulforging of 2 souls into the same body. This leads to the beginning of more advanced researches, including plans for a "Soul Particle Accelerator" as part as the still-ongoing Skynet project. Other than that, special transport technology is also being worked on. Finally, computer parts start arriving from Ariquemera and thus the Skynet complex's construction continues. All these cultural and scientific advancements also start spreading to other golem settlements via golem and !!elven!! immigrants.

Sadly, all great triumphs come with a downside. The precise number of feral golems that had escaped is still uncertain, and more are discovered every day. As the Iron Worm Golem continues to wreck havok in the desert and surrounding mountainsides, small Velociraptor-like golems hunt in a pack, attacking with blinding speed and ambushing unsuspecting travelers. Even worse, reports of a Clear Glass Giant Cave Spider Golem appearing as if from nowhere have started to abound. This golem is incredibly hard to see, even when it is close, since it is made of a very pure glass, and the desert's sun glare makes it even harder to spot.

But no matter the obstacles, the Unified Minds never gives up. Militias are formed, patrols are sent along the road, and researchers continue working on new ways to counter the threats they have unleashed on themselves. The Unified Minds still grows and prospers, and nothing must stop its advancement!

Damn. My plan for a grand allaince with the dracon dashed to the ground. I wonder what poor Robin will do know. I suppose that I should figure out this 'IRK' thingee to ask but, how far are we going to scale on the technolgical side? Personally, I wouldn't want to progress much further (although the zefies are more than capable of going REALLY far techwise.) Does anyone have any thoughts about this?

My RP involves a jody (marching song!)

Robin had perceded out of Angelshield quickly and made good progress over the great beaches of hte lake. He didn't carry (or as a consequence, eat) very much food. He gathered or shot everything he needed. He wondered how long untill he was to meet other people. To occupy himself, he wrote a great jody for the zefie army.

We are zefies, proud and strong.
Fight for right, right the wrong.

We are zefies, strong and free.
Onward to the victory.

We are zefies, free and bold.
The haft is strong, the blade is cold.

We are zefies bold and good.
Kill the tyrants, yes we could.


There's a lot more if I feel like writing it down. LOOONG bike rides to think.

Also, Yankee and his crew aproaches the elven city and anounces himself, how will he be recieved? Remember there are five elite soldiers in the group.

((I'll post my turn tomorrow, I hope, but I should say some things I dont really have time to say before I forget them))
((Does this mean i get to control the Dracon that came whit Fochema directly? The others I think shuld teleport out of the world mostly next turn because they were mercenaries, leaving some behind whit the vulpi that Jamini will control if he gets back))
((I think you didn't say enough/got some things wrong on the IRC there Polifar, if I had the time I'd extrapolate a bit, but I don't. ))
((I'll post actual RP tomorow, but what the Zefie see aproaching is:
A geometrical ladscape pached whit obsidian
A huge and a smaller tower raising on a nerby mountaintop
A single entrance into the clifface shaped like a 30m tall obsidian statue of Acathiimas head
A construction crew working on said head grating them, welcoming Amizoimi home. Amizoimi translates lots of various questions to the Zefie. The !!elves!! wants the zefies to meet Acathiima in The Seat of Authority, the magical throne room Amizoimi has warned them of.
These are NOT the tech elves of Ariquemera, they have a few good metals but mostly live in a primitive way.
It might be a good idea to take this on the IRC maybe?))

Turn 36:

The Master Controller watched as the mining group left for the mountains. They would dig until they found minerals or geothermal vents and then begin construction of a mining facility. Hopefully they would find magma vents for an accompanying geothermal power plant. Work would slow down immensely if they didn't, since the freshly built solar collector wouldn't be able to keep Exodus Base working efficiently during the winter. Many would have to shut down to conserve power over the darker part of the year, cutting their industrial output severely. If they had to rely on solar power, their plans for establishing a proper infrastructure would be delayed indefinitely.

His gloomy thoughts were interrupted by a message from Security. He patched himself into the visual sensor salvaged from a FUBAR survey drone and turned it to the segment of sky indicated by the guardians.
After a moment of zooming and focusing, the Master Controller froze. This was an unexpected development. Far, far to the south, was a dark speck. It was approaching steadily. It couldn't have been a local bioform. It was way too large and...was that a glint of metal?

The comlinks within Exodus base flooded with queries, puzzled rambling and general buzz. Everyone who wasn't doing critical tasks spent time putting forward hypotheses and possible scenarios. Eventually a consensus was reached. They would wait until the object came closer before making any decisions. Too much was unknown to make any informed decisions related to the object of interest.

New orders were sent to the recon rover. It changed direction, speeding over the hills toward the estimated co-ordinates of the Thelash airship.

OOC: Not much happens this turn, Hrafn and the army with him moves to Hallr, the settlers set up a new outpost of 20 giants, other one of the slave hunting patrols begins to move back in and the other one just sets up a camp.

Also i think i should post up my settlement numbers. the giants out there in war are counted to the settlement numbers.

List of important people:

Yanenirica-Awidi, advisor and secretary of Acathiima: professional lawyer, professional diplomat, legendary organizer, master politician, legendary liar, legendary flatterer. (Doing paperwork and ruling by The Seat of Authority, in Efil-inira.)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They had been travelling for months now, and passed the glass bridge over the river just weeks ago (any Dracon complimented Fotchemas architecture), when suddenly the priest stopped, and seemed to listen into another dimension, then he spoke: “Youth is gone, seems we are stuck whit you permanently then.”
They then continued.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yankee travelled thought a strange landscape, at the distance loomed an imposing dark obsidian tower, and next to it a much smaller tower, but even more strange was that the landscape seemed patched up, like is someone had dug holes everywhere and then filled them up whit molten obsidian, wich was exactly what had happened.
As he rounded another hill he saw the Main Entrance, a huge masterpiece obsidian replica of the face of a beautiful elf, taller than most trees, and through the mouth open like in shouting a command was the gaping entrance into the cliff. (Think mount Rushmore meets http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/S_F-E-CAMERON_EGYPT_2005_APR_00361.JPG , but in obsidian.)
There was also elves working on it, apparently construction workers, they could bee seem mounting traps inside, laying the final touches to the gleaming obsidian surfaces, and some inside installing a huge lenses in the left eye, the right one already having such a lens.
Then some elf spotted the Zefie and Amizoimi, and shouted something in elven, soon a half dozen delegates marched out the mouth dressed in colourful metal clothes. Amizoimi translated.
!!elves!!: “Greetings fellow beings!” a few minutes of chatting in elven whit Amizoimi, “We are glad to have you here, feel free to step in and enjoy our hospitality!”

 - Letorithma -

The Roshani had arived the coast. In the distant they could see some mountains and a forest so the Group parted into 3 and two settler groups were going for this places. The last one etablished Lethorithma. On this place the thraaril will be build. 

After a few weeks the first field were etablished and the housing was build near the new Hellings which began to shape.

The task was insane but the roshanie were hoping to complet it. The first object the Roshanie had to construct woule be a super raft wich was 300 Meteres and 300 Broad. It would be swim an half mile from the coast and would be the Drydock for the real cosntructions.

"Eureka! It calculates! It Calculates!"
"What are you screaming Yosh?"
"Oh excuse but i made an calculator!"
"And what is so eureka on it? we had done calculators with mechanics since years."
"well i calculate with Bubbles"
"You calculate with Bubbles !?"
"Yes you know i am a Glassmaker and not a Mechanic but i am an Mathematican too so i wondered if i can make an Calculator by myself with my Glassmakerskills and that little bit knowledge about hydrodynamics that was in one of the books."
"Well then show me that it can do"

"Ok yosh Silis says i have to give you 10 men for your researches. He thinks your idea has some realy great potental."

I am tempted to join this game.
The OP says it's fine, so I'm guessing it is.
Question: Is it okay for a race of magma-dwelling beings to be able to tunnel through a mountain, so as to access the rest of the world?

Machinatus the Hidden One
Spheres: Heat, shadows, speechcraft
Race: Erithreans
Civ: Hide-Strike
Preferred site: Volcano
Hero Symbol: m
Army symbol: e

Nobody knows where the Erithreans came from; indeed, little is known of them at all, for they are a secretive and unsociable race, tucked away in calderas deep withing the mountains. Although they are not hostile enough to attack outsiders, one should not except great hospitality for an Erithrean settlement, or "Safehome", as they call it.

The Erithreaites have an average height of two meters when standing upright. Their physical appearance is that of living rock, for Erithreans quickly develop a protecting shell of minerals to protect them from the merciless heat.
Sight is not their forte: their race relies on an acute sense of feeling and hearing, combined with a weak ability to sense shifts in static fields, giving them an eerie skill to "sense" anyone approaching.
They are vaguely humanoid in shape, with large muscles and tough skin to bear the cumbersome weight of the minerals they use as protection.

Erithreans are not very good crafters. Few people even know they exist, and they are mostly known in fairy tales as "Earth Spirits" due to the ventures of a few young rascals.
Erithreans prefer to fight without weapons, letting their huge strength and rock skin defeat their enemies, but sometimes use huge, shoulder-mounted iron ballistae as ranged weaponry.

Machinatus had done something radical.

He had broken the Shadow Oath. He had sent messengers to the Outer World.
He had brought his race onto the map.
It was against what they had stood for for centuries, for millennia.
He didn't care.


The pioneers swam up from the depths, up the caldera.
It was a long trip, many perished, with only seven survivors and Machinatus.
They dug a small hole near the caldera, the first ones the see it's foaming surface in memory.
They named the place Erithnarum, or "Our-home" in the language of the Outer Ones.
It was a humble place, but their hearts were filled with pride. They were going to become legends.

Ugh. I REALLY hope I can have this race, 'cause I'd hate having to make a new one.

EDIT: Oh, and my race makes and Outpost in the northern volcano.

((Yeeeehaw. A newcomer. Welcome. Of course your race is welcome to have a homeplace somewhere underground as to make up for the power of other civs. Join us on IRC too.))
