oh ARma's trick is straight-up lighting magic? neaaato...
So just to be sure I've got this straight-
Warbots of the Kingdom (Name suggestion: Zorara Kingdom) Come in...four varieties-
Ares pattern-which I presume to be a basic soldier model, which comes with a sword&Shield.
Hermes-light speedster, wind magic boosts for quick movement and a jousting lance.
Defender-heavily armored, with crossbows.
Magi-pattern-To my knowledge only the Special model Red Storm is this type, which skews things...
But the gist of it seems to be a heavy bot that comes with twin-war axes.
Do I have that right, more or less?

Wait why does Nyss count as one of our heroes, from the thing with armadeus it seems that is an official position and she still works for the Tuls right. And yeah basically, we mostly have the defender right now though

>>97346
Since she seems to be staying, I just included her.

>>97344
Magi patterns absorb magic.

Okay and do we have the ability to reproduce magi-patterns?

>>97349
Only if you research them. You won't get access to that research for a while though.

Damn okay, oh and is there just like a group of Tuls living with us now for the mining?

Update on the military.
200 - 26 Foot Soldiers = 174
100 - 12 Archers = 88
50 - 1 + 5 Mounted Calvary = 54
5 + 1 Mages = 6
26 Ares-patterns
2 Defender-patterns
1 Hermes-pattern
1 Magi-pattern

>>97351
Yup. 5 mages and 10 "normal" (All Tulranians can use magic, mages are just better at it.)

>>97346
Because if someone tries to kill us all, she might lift a hand to help?

I don't think we can really send her on missions though, unless we're careful about the context and how we arrange it. Gotta play to the crazy.

>>97333
Seconding artillery research.

>>97354
Artillery research it will be done in 7 actions.

6/7 actions left until Artillery

2 more Defenders and 1 more Hermes have been converted. 2 more Ares have been built. 20 more foot soldiers have been trained.

Artillery 5/7 actions left.
10 more foot soldiers have been trained.
2 more Ares have been produced.
2 more Defenders and 1 more Hermes have been converted.

Artillery 4/7 actions left.
10 more foot soldiers have been trained.
2 more Ares have been produced.
2 more Defenders and 1 more Hermes have been converted.

The Tuls are hosting a competition like that... Does that mean they are a cultural center of sorts for the continent?

>>97402
Sort of. They are the largest ones in the continent, as well as the most technologically advanced.

Your engineers have discovered a secret lying the steam engine! They found that an unnecessary valve is causing a great drag in the efficiency. They can now power the large chassis of the Titan-class prototype, the Yaeger!

What is its size and capabilities?

>>97406
It is many times larger than even the Red Storm, has 4 Steam Cannons and an Artillery prototype as it's standard armaments, and carry up to 4 Ares and Hermes or 2 Defenders into battle.

Ooooohhhhhh, how long does it take to make one comparatively to normal?

>>97408
it takes 5 actions normally, but there is a prototype chassis that is already ready. All that's left is to attach the weaponry and the engine.

I just had a rather alarming thought, what is the prize for the tournament?

rolled 5 = 5

>>97446
It's my roll x 1,000,000.

Awesome okay

How are you going to handle us knowing what is going on in the tourney?

>>97451
Series of letters/flashbacks.

You keep switching names, just call yourself Mr. Cades or something.

Yeah, no reason to change your name between quests. You are like the only one doing a text quest right now and your style is pretyy noticeable.

>>97473
>>97477
All right, I'll stick with Mr. C. Also, this will now be sharing space with Necropolis.

Awesome, wtf happened to that world btw? Also so...steam cannon?that seems to be the only thing left

>>97490
Yup, but it unlocks flight, which then unlocks a SHIT TON of research.

Hrrrm...So could a Providence be used to develop new magical techniques and abilities or would it be more like "normal gravity mages can crush humans. I have a providence that lets me crush Yaegers! YEAH!"

>>97498
Some do. Those are very rare and inbetween however. Most providences are battle-geared because that's where they are earned.

Lol wait so are you telling me that a farmer could theoretically get a providence that let him.... I font knoe grow crops irrelevant of a season and local? Alsare there any kingdoms that have a providence they pass down the generations of their rulers?

>>97506
Hey, a super-farmer would certainly be useful to have! Frees up people for other specializations, feeds a country, exports and influence over other nations.

...of course they'd need to be protected. All your eggs in one basket make them vulnerable to rivals.

What would even prompt a farming providence, growing a giant pumpkin?

>>97510
No, more like helping the last of a species of plant or maybe dealing with a kingdom wide weed infestation.

Oh my god yes! "Reginald, grand weeder of Zarzoth!"

Also that name makes me think of Azathoth which makes me nervous

And I'm back guys. Sorry for the hiatus, I was playing XCOM 2. It's addictive watching everyone you love die.

1000 years ago, there was 3 kingdoms: the Empire of Ulthwe, kingdom of the elves, the Hidden Forests, dwelling place of the druids, and the kingdom of Baal, home of the humans. There was a druid of the name Babalon, who was eternally curious. One day, he ventured too far: into the realm of necromancy. He seeked too extend his already very long life into immortality, and Avalon payed the price. He entered a contract with the demon Mercutio: he would destroy his own people in order to attain power beyond imagination. The Hidden Forests fell to Babalon and his undead army, their forest magic had no effect on this defiled legion. He killed his own mother, matron of the druids, personally, but not before she cursed him, that he would be immortal, but undead as well. With that, Babalon was no more. In his place was Tartarus, the Dread Lord.

Tartarus' conquests did not end at the Hidden Forests. Next, he decimated all of the Empire's colonies, with strike raids of demons and undead working together. In retaliation, the Empire sent out one of the largest armies ever to tread Avalon: the Maker's Legion, a combination of elves, humans, and the druids that escaped the Hidden Forests massacre. Several large battles occured: the Battle for Red Hill, the Siege of Mortarius, the Dead Raids. It all culminated ina final battle over the Rosario Supreme, the large crystal that kept elven magic working, hidden deep in Avalon's core. Many died, and although it seemed all was lost as Tartarus' champion, Rengrave, was on the final charge for the Rosario, a hero appeared. He had the wings of an angel, and was wearing golden Maker-blessed armor. He defeated Rengrave with one strike and almost single-handedly beat back the undead forces. This hero had the first providence, and he became known as Magnus, the Golden Avenger. He lead the Maker's Legion all the way back to Dead Falls, location of Tartarus' fortress. In the final duel between the champion of light and darkness, Magnus was lost, but not before he sent Tartarus into a 1,000 year sleep, ending the war. To this day, his armor has been lost and his sword Lightbringer presume destroyed. Some believe however, that when Tartarus reawakens Magnus will return once more in a new form, to beat back Blackwater and it's unending plague of demons and undead.

Do you guys think this is too hard? I tried to make a really tanky titan for Blackwater because they already have enough front line troops. You haven't actually seen anything yet, wait until it faces off with living troops.

Ehh, It's a nasty thing but I imagine we're just reeling because we made the mistake of not closing to melee with it fast enough.

The Seraphim has relatively few actual offensive weapons. It is meant as a support piece for the easier-to-manufacture Grotesques, making up for the lack of speed with entangling tentacles and their fragility with it's soul shield. It's weaponry includes:
-An artillery like Soul Lance, that can either fire a large AOE attack or a high damage piercing attack
-Tentacles that can ensnare or bind enemies, and harvest energy from living enemies
-A Soul Shield that can push back enemies
-A Necro-Factory that picks up bodies and turns them into Thralls
In case speed is needed far more than defense, the Seraphim can "shed" it's shell to transform into two faster Wraiths, each of whom has the ability to turn invisible and intangible. The Wraiths weaponry includes:
-A Daemon Cannon, a weapon like that on the gun-carriage
-Reaper Claws, claws that can harvest energy from living targets for a large speed boost

Hunh, I guess we kind of played this right, disabling the Grotto so that it couldn't fight effectively...
Hrrm.
That makes me wonder about figuring out some fun stuff our warbots can do.
Or maybe our thing is that we've the supplies and engineering to make nice solid warbots that have the advantage in terms of power and reliability (That other golem got disabled, not destroyed-but it otherwise I think had more HP than the Yeager.)

Just a quick note, if I accidentally say "say" with Shasla, please correct me and assume I meant "write".

You now have the opportunity to go on guerrilla missions with your heroes. Every once in a while, guerrilla strike opportunities will appear. Each one will give you a reward, but only if you do not trigger the fail condition and accomplish the objective. Since it is a strike mission, you are only allowed a certain amount of heroes per mission. The heroes can take any equipment available to them, as long as it makes sense. So no Yaegers.

Quick request, after this mission could we have a bit of peace? Less to get stuff done more so that we can get to know the characters better, at current they really just seem like walking piles of stats right now and taking a bit to socialize with them would improve that and likely increase reader enjoyment and care about dramatic developments concerning them

This feels more like a discussion question so I'll ask here:
What are Animus/what can they do/why are the Dragon's Blood the only ones who seem to use them?

>>98089
Dragons are, quite literally, at their core animus. New dragons are born one of two ways: by a rare byproduct of a breeding between two dragons, or by the animus of a dragon partially breaking off, forming a new animus shard. The Dragon's Blood have it programmed in their DNA somehow the ability to control animi. There are some who even say that Dragon Blood's are dragons without animi, and that is why they have human shape. Animis are what let a dragon recover from their most grievous wounds. A dragon forms the shell around its animus from the elements around it, before building the flesh around that shell. What Blackwater seeks to do is create twisted versions of dragons, mutated forms around a tiny shard of animus, completely obedient to them.

he Angelions are the result of the experiments of Grievous. Each contains a splinter of the animus of a dragon, and therefore can regenerate and use fire. There are 6 main types of Angelion.
>The Trooper. Basic model, uses a sword and goes beserk when injured.
>The Shieldbearer. Heavily armored, the Shieldbearer will often take damage for other Angelions. Best killed with piercing weapons.
>The Bloodseer. The Bloodseer uses blood magic to empower other Angelions, making them extremely resistant to damage and unable to feel pain. However, they themselves are very fragile and are often accompanied by a Shieldbearer.
>The Archer. Armed with a ballistae, the Archer will often fly up out of range of conventional weapons before firing. Recommended to ground them before they take off.
>The Infiltrator. The most sneaky, the Infiltrator is actually a parasite that enters the bloodstream of a humanoid unknowingly. Shortly afterwards, they will reach the brain and take control. When the time is right, they will mutate their host body into their true form.
>The Alpha. Possibly the most deadly, the Alpha can mutate into any of the previously mentioned Angelion forms at will. The Alpha most likely contains the core of the dragon, the original animus the others were split from. Very dangerous, when they bleed new Angelion Troopers are born.

Fafnir has the ability to splinter into Angelions. When fractured, Fafnir goes into his Alpha form, and currently can create up to 25 different Angelions. Before a battle, you can choose how many and which Angelions are created. Unfortunately, Fafnir is still experimenting with his ability and can only create troopers. Later on, he will be able to form many different kinds, and you guys can suggest new forms if they make sense.

Just so you guys know, a some of the heroes earned providences outside of your view. For example.
-Windvale got Eye of the Druids, which allows her to diagnose a patient with a glance, from the aftermath of the battle where you learned from Blackwater.
-Alina got Maelstrom, which allows her to take shots with her secondary weapon at every enemy in sight range.

>>98195
Oh cool. I'd been thinking we'd kind of been neglecting for Alina, actually. Nice that she got something!

Am I reading her effect right? Does that let her turn a regular weapon attack into an AEO attack?

Windvale too. Healers are harder to grind exp on.

>>98196
More like a pulse, but yes.

Hmmmm we need to go spend time with the ones we dont talk to much

Hey, if Belrus keeps coming back even though we killed him, does he still have his providence? When we killed him the first time was it a megaman copy or a theft?

Oh, also, I was having trouble keeping track of everyone and all their Providences, so I made a cast list.

File 145740764996.jpg - (157.99KB , 1024x1325 , Servitor.jpg )

In case any of you were wondering what servitors look like...

Siege battles work in two phases: the Defense Phase and the Counter Phase

In the Defense Phase, you have to add the collective defense stats of all your troops, which is something like this:
>+10 for each Ares
>+20 for each Defender
>+5 for each Ravan
>+5 for each Errant
>+10 for each Dormon
>+20 for each Breaker
>+40 for each Yaeger/Sphinx
>+50 for wall

You'd then have to subtract the foes attack stats
>+20 for each Boneripper
>+10 for each Angelion Trooper
>+30 for each Angelion Archer
>+50 for each Angelion Alpha
>+70 for each Grotesque

The result will be the number of casualties/wall damage. If the enemy's attack is greater, than then you will take the excess attack to your wall, which has 100 health. If your walls break down, the battle shifts to normal mode.

If your defense exceeds the attack, they take that many casualties, starting from the troopers, then to archers, then to bonerippers, then to Alpha, and then to Grotesques, which each have 40 health. If you kill all enemy forces, you win.

In addition, in the Defense phase you roll for the success of the counte attack chosen in your counter phase.

In the counter-phase, you select one of the counter-attacks left up to you. You can also choose to transfer forces from between the military and the walls, although personal allocation cannot be changed.

Angelion Pathfinders - +5 each
Thralls - + 2 each

You know, you guys have no idea how many times I have had to stop myself from putting in Seraphims. I really wished I had rolled something else on the Guerilla Op table ;_;.

Killing Grievious was worth it so very much!
...Though I gotta say, at risk of having to FIGHT them, whatever happened to the multi-armed brute guys? Were they another Grievious creation?

You guys dun fucked up your elemental weaknesses, thralls aren't affected by Light Flash, only Grotesques.

>>98868
They were.
>I take the opportunity to ask the overseer if he knows anything about the guest. "Only that he's the one behind those damned Peacemakers, and that he will be unveiling about his experiments with the pieces of dragon animus he received from the Zurvs."

>>98876
But it's more like you banished them and when they came back the implants were gone.

BTW, I made a mistake. I forgot to compute Defense formation in the final results. You really actually have 39 health left on the wall.

Any of you know any good artists on here that would be willing to co-op?
Because my drawing skill SUCKS. Seriously, I have 0 talent with my hand.

>>98880
Told you.
http://tgchan.org/kusaba/quest/res/714130.html

Because I'm realizing I never explained how he got transferred from the tin armor to his new one, they transcribed the runes binding him to the armor to the new one and melted down the tin one, temporarily freeing him before he animated the new one.
tl;dr, they took a huge risk trying to transfer him and he could have been trapped in the burning armor for all they knew.
