where is that picture from, it looks familiar.

Yes! I'm so glad I caught the quest on time

>>5726857
With our large numbers we need to fan out in coordinated hunting groups and scavenge the hell out of those tide pools. Anything that we can eat should be harvested and brought back to the overhang.

Search for fire.

>>5727119
The tide pools are surrounded by large unbelievers on the verge of reproducing, it might not be best to challenge so many given your tenuous grasp on your most recent followers.

>I was going to delete this soon. Thanks for saving it!

has the storm cleared up yet?

>>5727168
Yes! Though the sky still remains somewhat cloud, the great Sun is beginning once again to shine upon you.

>>5727139
Naw man, don't delete it. I was having a lot of fun in the first thread, and I missed the second by about half an hour. I was crushed.

Anyway, what else can we see around us? Perhaps we can send out scouts? There must be a less well-defended source of food.

I've been thinking about this (for days now, literally), and our strength is not that rotting corpse. That's just a bonus. No, our true edge over all others is our organization. We have government! All these other creatures are primitive in that they only kill and eat for themselves, possibly their offspring. We have the ability to harvest resources and bring them back to the, uh, nest, allowing some of our people to be workers. We need to exploit that

>>5727178
and how high is the mighty sun in the sky?

>>5727194
You can see farther up the beach a large protrusion of rock out into the sea, around you more tidal pools and those wretched unbelievers, then there is the small overhang cliff down the beach, and the jungle inland (plus in the distance a mountain).

The tide is coming in.

>>5727221
Will the rocks provide enough protection to prevent our heirs from being taken by the great sea?

>>5727221
Well, since we managed to spend a whole night in the overhang without drowning, the tide must not come up that far. Does the tide threaten our tide pool?

Kommando Krab also suggested we build a totem to attract the Sun's attention, encourage the faithful and impress the heathens. If that altar we constructed is in a safe spot, perhaps we can erect it there from some driftwood?

>>5727194
>sorry you missed the second one but I was super beat that day.
>>5727207
Beginning to makes its descent in the sky.
>>5727245
Yes, this was the purpose for which is was built!
>>5727256
The tide poses no threat, on the contrary. No site for the altar was yet decided.

Also, has the sand stopped moving or does it continue to defy our, and the sun's, will?

>>5727269
We haven't built the altar? That means we haven't sacrificed to the Sun yet! That must be our first priority. Harvest the best remaining meat, and while the workers are doing that, we, as the high priest, must oversee the construction of the altar.

That carcass we found died from headbutting a rock. There must be something special about the rock or it wouldn't have done that. Nothing's that stupid. Maybe it's blessed by the Sun? I suggest that for our altar, if it's flat on top. Lay the meat on there with some colorful things and, I don't know, dance around it. We don't have fire yet.

>>5727269
Are the unelightened masses just leaving the fate of the next generation up to the whims of the tides?
Also, how much meat did we get from those slimy things who were in the pool before us?

>>5727293
It has not! Curse its Moon loving insolence!
>>5727319
The rock, as you remember it is flattish.

You send several of your followers off to the task of constructing the altar and preparing the sacrifice.

>>5727335
Your two mates are guarding the hatchlings, even during the storm they did not sway. You got enough to fill your belly for the time being.

>>5727319
While I agree that the great sun would be pleased by this, and clearly it is a place of great power, I would say the time of sacrifice would be when it is highest in the sky, to get a good look at our offering.
Right now, we must seach for food the great sun has provided us.

>>5727360
Has the accursed sand been moving only recently, or have we been so preoccupied fulfilling the will of the sun that it escaped our notice?
Also, I meant what are the unbelievers that surround our sanctuary doing with their eggs? Perhaps we gift them with the plans that were obviously given to us by the sun...

>>5727363
There is much wisdom in your words. Hrm. OP, what is the position of the sun?

It sounds like the only available food sources are either rotting or under guard by the peons, so our answer must lie in the jungle. Perhaps a team of our hardiest warriors could be assembled and dispatched to find food? We have a lot of mouths to feed

...do alien krabs have mouths? Can we eat via photosynthesis?

>>5727400
I assume we have mouths, as our first followers were with us when we ate the brains of the great stupid beast what came from the sea. ...Also, come to think of it, is their any edible seaweed in our breeding pool?

>>5727397
It might have been moving, it might not have been. You can't say.

They too are tending to their hatchlings (though a few lost their s during the storm).

>>5727400
You've been eating the meat this whole time, it seems unlikely that your method of sustenance has changed greatly from then.

You send a party of two warriors and three workers to search out food. (also you sometimes eat a seaweed like plant)

>>5727400
Also, tragically we just missed it. But take heart! Clearly the sun is pleased with our progress since it allowed us to glimpse the glory of the storm!

What is the possibility of making a seaweed farm in one of the shallow pools? Also begin exploring the shallow pools for shellfish like mussels or other small animals that could compliment our diet.

>>5727453
Let us sift through the sand with our mighty claws to see if we can get a look at the little moon-devils...

>>5727360
Have we laid eggs in the tidal pools yet? If so, have they hatched? How long before they do. The sun wishes us to CRAAAAAGH, but it wants the CRAAGHING done by the spawning of the First Faithful

>>5727504
The pools are still guarded by the unbelievers using them.
>>5727506
The trice-Moon-damned things are so tiny it is hard to get them to stay still! Many end up crawling all over you.

>>5727524
Yes, you have. Your hatchlings are doing excellent for being but a few hours old! Eight of them still yet live!

>>5727506
In addition, should the spiteful creatures elude our sight, let us go to those who have not embraced the great sun, and proclaim the storm was a message from the sun, to show all its mighty power and to punish those who have not accepted the sun's gifts of knowledge and power.

>>5727554
Go into the breeding pool, to see if we can drown the accursed spawn of the moon.

>>5727554
In a vision granted to me during the turmoil of the storm, i have forseen that these young have a special destiny in the Rays of the Sun. The sun wishes for them to become the elite warriors of the New Order. Begin training them in close combat training techniques by using the surviving veterans of our previous conquests.

In addition, we must seek out a source of food to replenish our decayed stores.

Do we outnumber the heretics and is there a possibility if we attack on pool they will all join in on the melee?
Begin helping our young survive, we want numbers to be able to soon outnumber the unfaithful.

>>5727581
wait until they have finished the spawning! They must retreat before the light of our Lord. In their absence we will march for triumphantly under the gaze of Him Who Dwelleth Within the Above and enslave their hatch lings.

All Glory to the Lord on High!

>>5727593
To make them follow the path of a warrior only would be a waste of the life of a highborn. Train them to be among our best warriors, of course, but also make sure they devote their lives to the beneficent sun and know how to command our followers.

>>5727560

Be careful, brother, as we must not intimidate them too greatly. With the warning of the sun's wrath we must also give them a view of the sun's kindness. Show them our success!

>WOOHOO, MORE PEOPLE!

>>5727581
You feel the urge to convert more to your cause rising within in you. As you approach, many watch you cautiously; not sure after your recent displays where you are going to talk more or attack them.

AS your speech starts up several look relieved, while a few look only annoyed.

>>5727560
This is silly, hatchlings don't drown!

>>5727593
Though they are not yet ready to be trained for anything this seems a worthy goal. You are already searching for food sources in the jungle would you like to search else where?

The workers constructing the alter have returned! It has been made with several of the large flat bones of the animal.

>>5727628
They will of course be able to successfully command our brethren. The sun has gifted them with superlative combat affinity, has it not? Do you question the will of the Sun? Praise be upon him.

By training with our veterans, they will gain an intimate understanding of our krab-tactics.

I sincerely hope that my Brother under the Rays does not doubt the will of the sun, does he?

There is only one God, and I am his Prophet.

>>5727554
Do the "infants" require anything special? Can we give them the semi-rotten meant, or do they require seaweed?

So, if we have 38 followers, what are they broken up into? IIRC we have 3 warriors and 2 breeders looking for food, x warriors building the altar and a few tending the young. What else are they up to? Can we redirect some to sharpening bone spears?

We should not take on the unbelievers without weapons, since they don't believe because they're huge. We would take tremendous losses without weapons

>>5727620
Your numbers are about even with the unbelievers, but they are unorganized. Some would band together but most would not. (very few would come to the aid of those not among their mates)

>>5727666
There is food enough for the time being in the pool itself.

You have 6 warriors and 6 breeders (excluding yourself and your original two followers). The rest have not yet proven them self in any significant regard (though many have been helping move rocks, sharpen bones, etc)

>>5727661

I was only making a suggestion. I would never question the will of the sun, its guidance is far more valuable than the words of any of us. Our plans down here, however, have to be fine tuned by us.

>>5727699
If the other leader krabs agree we should try to seize one of the pools from the group that has the lowest number and adopt their spawn for our own numbers through use of indoctrination from birth. Alternately we should try and get one of our crabs to poise as one of the other pool groups and attack another blaming the group the crab was hiding as to divide them and make them attack each other.

>>5727639
i believe that a contingent of scavengers should be dispatched to comb over the carcass of the mysterious beast for any shards of bone or bone-like structures that are either sharp and pointy, or shovel like. As they return, they must keep an eye out for any small pieces of driftwood or branch they find along the beach.

To assist my less gifted brethren, i sketch the attached picture into the sand.

We must arm the faithful, that we may begin in earnest the glorious work of the sun

>>5727699
Hmmm, only 12 dedicated followers? Does that count our bodyguard and the trap?

Well, if we can't sacrifice because the sun is too low, and we already built the altar, we should probably do something to strengthen our weaker followers. I don't think combat is a good idea. We might lose, since the enemy is bigger, and that would hurt us. Instead, start a ritual and construct that totem. That should enforce the faith a bit

>>5727747
That is the suggestion that was put forward by this most humble instrument of the sun but a moment ago. They must leave their eggs at some point. When they do,m we send the most stealthy krabs to abduct thier young.

This done, i will begin the process of converting these heathens to the worship of the Burning Disc.

There is only one Disc, and I am his Prophet.

>>5727750
You now have two sharpened bone stabbing things! You send a few workers to look for more bones while you tell the rest of your followers to keep a look out for the things you have described.

>>5727778
Including the 'trap' and your bodyguard you have 14 proven followers.

Of what would you like to construct the totem? (you have bone, rock, and some leftover fat and gristle)

CRAAAAAGH! WE GOSSA KRUMP SUM DEM KRABS RIGHT GOOD!

>>5727808
Make them construct a small altar that is aligned with the mid day sun.

>>5727783

Don't you feel that it is more than a burning disc? The sun is more than vengeance. Our war on the moon is sacred and it is our duty to convert others, yes, but the sun also provides light and protection and life.

>>5727808
Let's just stick the largest bone we can in the sand, perpendicular, and then hang vines and claws and flowers on it. That sounds pretty impressive. Build it next to the altar, too.

>>5727830
We already have an altar

>>5727814
Yes. Yes. We will... "KRUMP" them soon enough. The Sun does not wish to engage in petty squabbles. Our Lord demands nothing more than total conquest. For this we must arm ourselves.

The two stabbies should be allocated to 2 of the most promising young. By acquainting them with thier weapons early, they will be so much more useful. Also, task one of the Faithful to the supervision of the spawn, so that they do not injure themselves. When they display enough sentience, have this Krab begin teaching them the ways of the CRAAAAAAGH!

>>5727844
My bad. Then the next logical step is a totem to the sun, each section should recant our victories in the name of the glorious fiery disc.

>>5727830
An altar has already been 'constructed' by the corpse.

>>5727844
Two workers hurry off to begin making the totem.
>>5727851
Are you sure you wouldn't like to give weapons to some experience warriors (after all who's going to teach your young to use the weapons?).

>>5727841
Ah yes. You see, the Burning Disc is but one of the many epithets by which the Faithful refer to our lord. For not only does it shine with the light of vengeance, but also of wisdom and virtue. The sun provides us with what we need to survive, so that we may continue our Crusade against the accursed moonkin. The light of the moon is but a reflection of the Dazzling Glory of He Who Is Above Us All, and we must show them the consequence of their heresy. For while they scavenge from the bounty provided by the Sun to fuel their wicked excuse for life we must teach them that what the High Lord giveth, he may also taketh away.

>>5727879
excellent point. I humbly retract my previous suggestion and posit that the weapons be given to two of the most powerful of the faithful (barring the BOSS KRAB with the powerfist).

My apologies, this ones zeal has clouded one's judgement, and for that he must atone. I step out of the overhang to bask in the Gaze of Our Lord for a time.

Any news of the scavenger party? If at all possible, let's try and include those weak of faith in tasks alongside their stronger brethren, who will set a good example

>Gendered pronouns don't really work for this species (all essentially 'female'; can lay eggs/give birth).

>>5727985
None yet, but they ought to return soon.

what about the Blue? The Sky. It goes on for as far as one can see. Its there night and day and holds up the Sun, the Clouds, the Stars AND The Moon. Its biggest. Its gotta be the strongest. The Sky is the boss.

bampu

>>5728058
HERETIC. For your insolent ways, you are forced to stand in full view of all the other krabs, in direct Sunlight, for the rest of the time our Lord is on High. If you refuse to submit, you will be killed.

Also, has there been any news of our various scavenging parties? What about the Unbelievers who are using the spawning pools?

>looks like this might be dying, if it is I'll start again on Monday (LABOR DAY!) at the same time.
>>5728174
4 of the scavengers have returned with a variety of small animals, plants, and some shiny colorful things. They say the other got separated from the group.

The unbelievers remain vigilant.

>>5728161
Back from dinner. Now then, where we we? So the scavenger party hasn't returned yet, we already have an altar but can't sacrifice, we already have a totem under construction, we already have a nursery... We're pretty set up.

Let's get our biggest, strongest warriors and arm them with the spears, while the bodyguard gets the hammer and we have the claw. Now is the time to practice our martial skills. Go back to the unbelievers and sermonize a bit more. At the end, ask for challenges, especially from larger individuals. Crush them mercilessly.

>>5728215
now that we have more food, we should continue to collect. dispatch more warriors and workers into the forest to both find food and the lost member, hopefully alive. we look out for our own

>>5728225
Try to put their spawning pool on the line so that there is a possibility to get another spawning pool.

>>5728225
>>5728273

The unbelievers once again eye you cautiously as you approach, but this time a few even seem interested in your sermon. As you wrap up your long speech you issue forth your challenge; let any who think they can beat you in single combat come forth and put their mates and offspring on the line.

Out of the gathering crowd the largest individual you have ever seen (not really that impressive, you aren't all that old) pushes its way through. It trikes the ground with its large claw, send sand flying.

This will not be easy; your followers back up to give you some space.

Behind you the Sun shines brilliantly.

>>5728249
Before leaving for your sermon you send out several more workers (though none of those of the original group) to do more foraging.

>>5728225
Agreed. If none of them challenges us, we will foot the challenges ourselves. Smite them, in the name of the Burning Disc!

>>5728320
Strike at the enemy with our powerfist! feint a direct overhead attack, and at the last minute veer sideways and cripple its legs! If we can hobble it, we can flip it over and strike at his vulnerable moon worshipping underbelly.

>>5727639
I meant those tiny things that were in the sand and (presumably) still on us.
Also, we must not seperate our flock, search for the missing hunting party, this time with one of our warriors in the lead.

>>5728320
Well hell, we weren't supposed to do single combat, lol. But yeah, do what >>5728348 says. Let's try not to kill it, but if need be, don't hesitate.

Again I was thinking, and we are developing a sedentary culture on a nomadic diet. Sooner or later we are going to strip the local area of resources unless we can develop agriculture. Any merit to >>5727504?

>>5728348
The first two parts of your attack work, but the large devil manages to avoid getting crippled.

It swipes at you, and though you block it, the power of the contact sends you skittering a few feet. During the pause the large unbeliever charges at you.

>>5728404
Scuttle to the side and swipe at its legs with our claw, trying to knock it down. If that works, try to break something. Crabs regrow legs, right? Snap one off?

>>5728404
It is obvious that this nefarious usurper has made some kind of unholy bargain with the foul moon! We must use our superior speed to get the better of it! With a cry of IA! THE SUN! We must try to use the momentum of its charge to flip it onto its back!

Judo style.

>>5728404
Let us scuttle just in front of a rock, and leap out of the way just before the charger strikes so that he might instead charge into the hard rock

>>5728460
if we can humiliate it into submission, it will garner more followers than an outright kill, as a dead crab might provoke some sort of revolt.

Later on, we can dispose of its moon worshiping treachery in whichever way we see fit!

In addition, this Krab Shaman would like to begin chanting a Litany of Hate in praise of the great and glorious Sun, asking for it to grant its benevolence upon its chosen champion

>>5728483
or drop low and strike up at its belly as it charges

>>5728384
>>5728483

Most of the pools are rather small right now for any sort of agriculture that could support your community, but there might other places in which to cultivate such plants.

>>5728460
You mange to avoid the lumbering brute, but your swipe fails. It raises its large claw threateningly, readying to bring it down on your head.

Seeing your opportunity you charge in, shoving your smaller body underneath its and lifting with all your might.

You manage to send your opponent end over end onto its back.

You have won! Praise be to the Sun!

You gain many more followers you now have 60 followers! The unbelievers are very impressed and will no longer bother you. All of them leave to escape your growing influence.

You rule all you see!

>>5728526
Awesome. Does that include the super large individuals? Let's get more bone weapons made, more armor, and get training with them. Practice on rocks and plants and small wildlife. Start sending out more hunting parties to feed our big population, and scour the tide pools.

Maybe we should line rocks around a few more pools? We should also send out faithful scouts in small groups to locate good places for farming

Have we seen any other relatively similar life around that we could either contact or speak with? What lives in the jungle?

Give the other duelist a chance to convert or die( ie be sacrificed to the Sun God).

>>5728581
Your supply of bone is dwindling. But there is still enough to make 16 more weapons and possibly one or two hammers. You now have approximately 17 followers searching for food, still no news on the missing individual.

Indeed your group now consists of at least 7 of the largest individuals plus others of decent size.

You know that most often large concentrations of the plant can be found a little farther out into the surf.

>>5728593
You have not.

There are several reptiles and birds, plus numerous insects; most are smaller than yourself but some equal your average size or larger.
>>5728620
Your opponents converts, though you are slightly suspicious of his motives.

>>5728644
Since we don't have enough weapons to go around, train in shifts on them.

Are we aquatic? Can we go out into the surf? If yes, get some faithful warriors and take along four big'uns. Hopefully the big guys can anchor themselves against any surges. It is vital we establish agriculture as soon as possible

>>5728663

>>5728663
Yes, you can survive underwater very easily.

9 individuals head out into the surf to begin your agriculture project.

>>5728644
let us watch the lizards to see if any of the smaller ones eat the little bugs that can be found in the sand. If we see any that do so, let us round them up place them in dug pits with 1 or 2 guards and start storing them for consumption later

we should send our stealthiest Krab to follow the heathens that fled. They had their chance, now they must be made to feel the true wrath of the sun! All who hear of us should know that to convert is to receive kndness and acceptance, yet to spite the burning disk is to feel his full wrath.

>>5728746
Nice, I like this idea.

>>5728724
Did we find anything worth while in the other tidal pools?

>>5728753
This. Let us kill all those who would sway in the face of the Light of Truth! If we fall in the attempt, then it is truly a blessing, for we meet the Sun upon death

>>5728753
and what, have him kill them as they sleep beneath their bastard moon?

>>5728753
how did we convert our bodyguard? intimidation. how did we convert our followers? intimidation. Whats more intimidating than the carcasses of our foes splayed out on an altar beneath the baleful gaze of the Moon? let it see the folly of sponsoring agents against the might of the Sun

>>5728746
Many of the lizards do in fact eat insects, though the tiny little creatures of the beach may be too small, but you set aside a small pit to contain them.
>>5728753
One individual alone might get lost easily. There are a few candidates you might send.
>>5728762
Nothing of overwhelming interest, just the same stuff you'd find in most other tide pools.

let us also send our most nimble crab to climb up a semi fallen over tree to scout out our area, tell him he will be blessed for he will have ventured closer up to the great sun then any other crab

>>5728815
There are no fallen or semi-fallen trees, but some trees have enough of an angle that an individual may climb up them fairly easily.

You send several up such trees.

They report back of a long jungle broken up by the occasional large rock, hills, the aforementioned mountain, and eventually the glimmerings of a beach and sea.

>>5728799
As we collect more lizards, let us watch and keep only the slowest and fattest of them. This is in the hope that they too will spawn and create even slower an fatter lizards.

To keep them fed, let us send a few crabs to scuttle along the edge of the tideline for dead bugs to feed the captive lizards

>>5728906
good idea, animal husbandry. We should surround the dug-out pits with rock fences to make sure they stay in. Although that might keep a determined lizard back...

Let us send a cadre of warriors, along with the remaining big'uns and some weapons after the fleeing unbelievers. Locate them and slaughter them all. Do not let them join us, for they have shown their true colors. Drag the corpses back and cut the meat from their shells, spreading both upon our gore-drenched bone altar

BLOOD FOR THE SUN GOD! CRAAAAAAAGH!

>>5728906
Work is easily begun on surrounding the pits and gathering such insects.
>>5728942
Your War Party heads off in the direction of the fleeing unbelievers.

>>5728942
Rather then kill them outright, should we not capture them and have them stand accused of being moon worshippers. That way our followers know what becomes of those who turn from the Sun and seek out the moon.

>>5728942
I say that we should move the shrine! An earlier report said that there was a large rock a short distance down the beach. Send 2 of our Krabs to scout out this rock for purposes of housing the shrine. Placing the shrine at the top of this rock will bring it closer to the gaze of our Lord! In addition, the blood of any sacrifices made at the top of our monument will trickle down the side in an awesome display of the Sun's might!

As the Sun wills it, so shall it be!

>>5728975
this should be the fate of their leaders (if any) and they should be accused of leading the souls of the innocent to the damnation of heresy.

>>5729006
Fine, fine, let them stand trial. So long as they are sacrificed to the Sun God and their life blood is spilled down the sides of our altar, the delivery doesn't matter!

We're going to be the most kick-ass kelp farmers ever

>>5729021
of course they shall be sacrificed to the sun, there is no question to that, we must simply make it well known to our followers (especially the newest converts) the fate that awaits the heretic

>>5729021
>>5729006
>>5728975
You send a fast runner to catch up with your party, to deliver your new directives.

>>5728990
The totem is next to your altar, which is on a rock, next to the corpse from which you have been gathering your meat and bones.

Grave news, the sun is beginning to set! In a few hours the moon will rise!

>>5729045
Blast. Does our war party have a chance of completing the battle before the sun sets? If not, dispatch more runners to recall them. Tomorrow morning we can send out the war party again, but instead of rancid meat for a noon-day sacrifice like we were thinking, there will instead be the fresh blood of our enemies! CRAAAGH!

Also, the new followers probably don't get what all the fuss about the Sun and Moon is about. Proselytize to them until it sets about the importance of burrowing during the night.

>>5729045
We must begin the recall of any errant parties at once! The treacherous moon worshipers will not hesitate to attack our vulnerable smaller bands! And we must regroup to defend our newly acquired spawning grounds from the counterattack that will surely come!

>>5729045
alas, the runner left a moment too late. We should pray that the war party has the wisdom to strike with the full sight of the sun upon them, not to strike like cowardly moon-worshipers in the night. We should bring in all of the foragers, and other followers of the sun, hold one last service with the last gifts of the sun upon our humble alter, then stand together during this next test of our faith

So now we're Iquisito-Krabby-Chaotic Sun worshippers? This is awesome.

OI, YOU GITZ GOT A QUEST WIFFOUT DA BOSS!

LEMME READ DIS GUBBINS N KATCH UP.

>>5729077
It is unlikely that they will be able to return and then leave tomorrow and still be able to catch the fleeing individuals without a serious expenditure of time.

You begin to once again preach to your followers, further indoctrinating them in the glory of the Sun.

>>5729100
>>5729101
While you proselytize your various parties trickle in, the War Party arrive last and only a little while before the moon will rise.

As with last night you bury yourselves underneath the sand, except for a small party of guards and your mates who will watch over your young in shifts.

>>5729118
Read fast! I won't be on for more than an hour longer!

>>5729118
Oh hello, BOSS KRAB, we missed your combat prowess in our duel! Luckily, we squeaked by, but it WAS a near thing!

>>5729101
Hmm if news keeps travelling slowly around our beach, maybe we should figure out some way of spreading news faster.

Let us search for very shiny shells that we might reflect the light of the mighty sun in flashes. Things like fast rapid flashes to warn of danger.

>>5729136
I SEE DAT WE KRUMPED SUM SLIMY FINGS

AND KRUMPED SUM MOON KRABS

RIGHT PROPA KRABBY, YOU LOTZ BEEN.

>>5729141
ROIGHT, WELL IM HERE NOW, SO LETS GO OUT N KRUMP SOME MOON KRABS! ITZ BEEN A WHILE SINCE DA BOYZ 'AVE GOT SOME BLOOD ON 'ER KLAWZ!

>>5729136
ROIGHT, SO WE GOTTA BE RIGHT KUNNIN.

AS SOON AS DA SUN CAN SEE US, WE'Z GOTTA SHOW HIM DAT WE CAN CRAAAAGH!

GO FER DA WEAKEST AT FIRST, 'EN GANG UP ON DA 'ARDER KRABS!

A glorious new day Dawns! The sun is just now rising above the skyline.

For the first time, your keen eyes pick out two small shapes trailing slightly behind the great and glorious Sun.
>>5729158
There re many shiny shells, but not many would provide enough reflective surface for long range communication, you will have to first create a language to use with it it will probably remain something for only your most trusted lieutenants.

>>5729163
The Prophet of the Burning Disc seconds this notion. I believe a few raiding parties are in order? I will accompany one of them as a Chaplain of the Faith!

There is only one Disc, and I am his prophet!

CRAAAAAGH!

>>5729163
We must wait for the sun to rise! As long as no like, nocturnal predators come and try to dig us up and eat us in the night, there's not a whole lot we can do, quest-wise.

pic vaguely related

>>5729200
YER MIGHTY KUNNIN, YOU ARE.

DA MOON'LL SEND DA MOON GUBBINS AFTER DA SUN KRABS.

DA MOON GUBBINS IZ...

IZ TERRIBUL

>>5729183
>>5729198
You once again send out the War Party to search down and eliminate those treacherous unbelievers, those you give them orders to return once again before nightfall (this severely restricts their range).

Your mates and the guards who stayed up last night are exhausted.

>>5729196
I wish to appropriate a few of the shiny shell gubbins for myself. A Prophet of the Sun should have a few fitting accoutrements, no?

>>5729198
It is truly an honor to smite the moon-worshipers with you this day chaplain.
FORWARD SUN-BROTHERS!!!

Since the trees are at an angle that we can climb why not send a crab or 2 up there to see if there are any coconuts along with having a better survey of the land.
Also have some of the crabs that are digging out bit for the lizards to eventually expand our spawning pool .

>>5729234
DA GURDZ 'AVE HAD TO BE UP IN DA MOON-TIME

DEYZ RIGHT PROPPA KRABBY DEY IS.

LET EM STAY AT DA BACK, KRUMPIN' DA WEAK.

>>5729196
Maybe we should use sticks we find to draw glyphs in the sand. Our first glyph should obviously be the sun. Next should be one for food. And we'd need ones for CRAAAGH, danger, crab, and home.

>>5729234
Let the mates and guards rest. Have a few of other crabs allow them to get some rest out in the glory of the sun.

>>5729255
DATS NOT KRABBY, BUT KUNNIN. IF I WUZNT DA SMARTEST 'N TUFFEST 'N BADDEST KRAB AROUND, I'D SAY YA WUZ A MOON KRAB.

BUT DO IT, B'CUZ IT'S RIGHT KUNNIN.

>>5729278
They are blessed to be able to rest in the sun!

Shaman, that's quite a shiny annoitment you've crafted yourself... Go under the Sun, with the Sun. Lead our people to victory, show the moonkin the way of to the true light.

>>5729255
You have already done this, (they are not quite tall enough to give you a very accurate picture of the entire piece of land you are on). They have some medium size red-blue fruits bunched up tightly round the trunk.
>>5729272
You begin working out a crude glyph/language system.

Your mates and their guards are resting!

I notice that when I step on harder surfaces like rocks, my legs make a beating sound. My claws make an ever louder one. I'm going to try tapping the rocks gently with my claws in a rhythmic pattern. It seems pretty catchy!

REND THE FAITHLESS, TEAR THE MEAT FROM THEIR CLAWS! EYESTALKS FOR THE EYESTALK GOD, SHELLS FOR THE SHELL THRONE! CRAAAAAGH!

>>5729272
the sand is temporary, we shall scribe the glyphs on our weapons and shells with sanctified blood of the slain moon-worshippers, a much more permanent medium

>>5729272
>>5729272
DIS SHUD BE DA KRAB CLAN SIGN.

I'M NO DIGGA KRAB, SO I'Z NO GOOD AT DA GLIFF.

BUT YA GITZ GET DA PICTURE, 2 KLAWZ 'N A SUN.

WE GOTS TA GET A CRAAAGH IN DER SUMWHERE.

Khornab! Be careful of what you say! Do not speak these ideas of "eye gods." You blaspheme the Sun with such words!

>>5729310
I SAY DA KRABZ AINT BIG ENUF.

START SUM SORT 'O BREEDIN' THING TO MAKE BIGGA 'N TUFFER KRABS

DEY'S GOT EXTRA SUN-POWA AND CRAAAAAAAGH IN 'EM!

>>5729332
Bark from the trees may suffice or once we obtain fire from rubbing 2 sticks together with some tinder we can use the charcoal and a rock to write stuff down.

>>5729335

I'll try my hand, but I'm not much with these sticks either... I thought of a claw holding one of our bone weapons, as they seem to give us a CRAAAAAAGH! edge over the enemy. We are fortunate that The Light blessed us with these things!

We sent a wading party some time ago to investigate the deeper waters for more edible seaweed. Did they ever report back?

Also I think it's time we explored the jungle close to the beach a bit more thoroughly. We've all heard the beast noises that come from the forest during the night.

>>5729377
ITZ NOT KRABBY ENUF

IT LOOKS KURVY LIKE DA MOON

>>5729330
It catches on very quickly, soon many of the KRAB Clan made such noises as they go bout their business, it replaces the natural sounds of your environment.

>>5729352
Most have already mated or will be mating very soon, already you are building stone circles around those pools closer to the shore.
These larger communal tide pools will ensure that many more of your progeny survive.

All the meat from the corpse has been stripped, you have a great big honkin' pile of flesh!
>>5729381
They found some patches of the plants, but the Moon time came to soon for any real progress to be made, they have resumed their search.

You send five warriors to explore the jungle close to your community.

>>5729331
You. What was that you just said? Do not provoke my wrath, our you shall feel the rage of the Burning Disc Itself. REPENT HERETIC, OR YOU SHALL BE CLEANSED IN THE LIGHT OF THE RAYS! THE BURNING DISC SHALL TURN ITS GLORIOUS GAZE UPON YOU, AND YOU SHALL BECOME AS SAND IN THE WIND! CONFESS YOUR SINS TO ME, AND I MAY DECIDE TO INTERCEDE WITH THE GLORIOUS SUN ON YOUR BEHALF.

My newly crafted talismans affixed to my shell with bits of seaweed, i stand ready to accompany any war party to deliver the Sun's Peace. CRAAAAAAGH!

>>5729290
Thank you for your words brother. Blessings be upon you, may you KRUMP with the Burning Rage of the Sun.

>>5729401
oshi- religious schism

>>5729384
I-... I'm sorry

Let me try to change something

>>5729395
YE BOSS, I KNOW DAT

I MEAN IN DA FUTUR. LIKE, NEXT MATIN' CYKLE ER WUTEVER.

FER NOW, LETS FIGHT EACH OTHA WIFFOUT KRUMPIN EACH OTHA, DAT WAY WE'LL BE DA BEST FIGHTAS EVER

>>5729431
Shit meant to say boss krab

>>5729431
NOW DAT LOOKS MIGHTY KRABBY

IZ... IZ JUSS A BIT TOO COMPLA.. COOMPLI... CATERTTPF
AH SUN KRUMP IT!
IZ NOT SIMPLE! YA GOTSTA MAKE IT A BIT MO' SIMPLE FO QUICK GLIFFIN'

BUT KEEP DAT LOOK, I LIKE WUT IT IZ

>>5729395

These sounds fill me with joy! I'm just glad to have contributed something to my kin.

>>5729401

Thank you, prophet. Please, forgive Khornab, he is simply overenthusiastic about the slaying of the enemies of the disc, you see! He is your brother as any other of our Krabs is.

Bring the sun unto our foes.

>>5729463

I think you're right. I wanted it to look good because we're trying to represent ourselves but we're gonna put it all over the place so I guess I better make it easier. I'll keep trying!

>>5729431
VINDICATION! DO YOU SEE THAT, FALSE PROPHET? YOUR "WORSHIPERS" BOW AT MY FEET! ONLY I MAY SPEAK FOR THE WILL OF THE SUN! RIP AND TEAR!

>>5729436
I would be honored to test my mettle against one such as you, BOSS KRAB! Let us engage in a friendly sparring match!

On another note, i humbly submit that we should task some Krabs to obtaining salt to help in the preservation of our excess meat! It will not do to keep having our stockpiles rotting. In addition, i have a sneaking suspicion that there is a parallel gathering of the filthy moonspawn somewhere. we should task a scout with he job of rooting out where their camp is so that we may wipe their abomination from the Gaze of our Lord Most High!

>>5729395
By the way, Is there any discrepancy of intelligence between us and the BIG'UNS? Or are they just larger crabs.

>>5729335
>>5729377
>>5729431
NONE OF YOU GITZ KNOW ANYFING BOUT' MAKIN PROPA CRAAGH GLYPHS OR BANNERS!

>>5729482
LET'S CRAAAAAGH FO' HIM!

>>5729487
CRAAAAGH!

DAT BRAINY STUFF YOU SAYZ ABOUT DA SALT IS RIGHT BRAINY. LE'S DO IT.

>>5729482
NOW YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR! The sun has been in my head since before you were skittering along this beach! However, in my infinite wisdom i offer you the chance to repent! A civil war is not in the Sun's plan.

Let us reconcile our differences. I understand that a ...berserker such as yourself may not receive the full and undiluted gave of the Burning Disc. Thus, you may confuse his true shape. Turn your rage upon our true enemies. Go with the Sun, brother.

>>5729482
fool, I stand behind Shaman Krab Krabhommad, and always shall, repent now. If you do not, pray to your false gods that he catches you before I.

>>5729401
with your preparations complete, could you place the glyph of the Burning Disk upon my back, I wish not to go to battle without its holy mark upon me

>>5729487
The big'uns are only larger, perhaps not quite as smart as you in particular but generally they have the same baseline, they just don't have to use it as often.

>>5729504
IZ...

OH MAH SUN IZ BOOTIFUL.

YOUZ DA BEST GLIFF-KRAB

...I think it still may be too complicated, but it's hard to make it easier while adding the weapon and the crab body, and I couldn't ever dream of leaving out the Light!

What do you think Boss Krab? I know you're not fond of the sticks, but maybe you should try again and show me what you have in mind

Dig some 2-3 foot deep pits then cover them with rocks or foliage to help preserve the meat since going down that deep lowers the temperature greatly acting as a natural cellar of sorts.

>>5729487
You'll have to set out the way in which you would like to gather this salt (Someone did it last time).

>>5729504
It's... Glorious...

>>5729528
IF DEYZ BIGGA, DEY IS MO' CHOPPIER 'N KRUMPIER!

I SAY WE'Z GO AN' GET US SOME. TELL 'EM BOUT DA SUN, AND KRUMP ONE OF 'EM FO' SHOW.

>>5729545
I'Z DA BEST CUZ DA SUN GIVE MY HEAD THINKIN' FINGS I'Z GONNA CHANGE MY NAME TO GLIFF-KRAB!
>>5729568
DATS RIGHT IT IS! NOW WE NEEDS TA CRAAAGH!

>>5729574
All of the 'krabs' on this beach currently belong to your group.
>>5729559
With your remaining workforce you set about digging holes in which to place your meat and other foods.

>>5729586
Gliff krab, you've inspired me! I feel the light is strong in me today!

Prophet... May I follow you to battle?

>>5729586
LETS TAKE SUM O' DA GREEN GUBBINS OFF DA TREES 'N CARVE DAT INTO 'EM

DEN WE PUT 'EM ON POINTY STICKS AN' SHOW DA MOON

WHOZ DA KRABBIEST!
CRAAAAAAGH!

>>5729526
LAPDOGS OF THE FALSE SUN, ONE AND ALL! WE ARE KRAB, KRAB IS STRONG! CRUSH, KILL, BURN, CRUSH, KILL, BURN

Also, I want to look for a smaller rock that I could possibly carry in one of my claws, but large enough so that I could set it down and beat on it to make my rhythmic patterns. Perhaps the warparty krabs will enjoy the sounds as well.

>>5729614
Khornab, please settle down! This is a holy place, this is our place of the sun! If you continue this, you'll be killed!

How goes the seaweed farm, and do we have word back from any scouting/scavenging/war parties?

>>5729626
LET 'EM KRUMP EACH OTHA!
>roll 2d6, one for each claw. Whoever rolls higher wins the duel.

I WANNA SEE WHO DA REAL SUN PROFFET IZ!

>>5729626
I merely await for yourself or the most revered Shaman Krab Krabhommad to say the word, and his heretical blood shall be spilled

>>5729644
I... I can't make that call. I can't tell you to kill one of our own, no matter how crazy he sounds.

I guess it's up to the Prophet... Though I think we all know what he's going to say...

>>5729526
of course brother! make your choice of the shells you wish to adorn your carapace, and i will glue them upon your back with the slightly moist seaweed.

IA! BURNING DISC! IA! IA! BLESSINGS OF THE DISC BE UPON THIS HOLY WARRIOR. MAY THE SUN ALWAYS CAST HIS GAZE UPON YOU!

>>5729561
ahh yes. send some of the idle crabs, and in fact some of the lil'uns could be used for this, with a series of shells down to the waters edge. Gather the water in the concavity of the shells. By leaving it out during the day, the revealing gaze of the Burning Disc Most High will eventually produce a precipitate of the "Salt" we need. The Sun has given me this knowledge in a vision, as he wills it so shall it be!

>>5729657
you are of a spawning prior to mine, I was simply defering to my elders. I sharpen my spear, awaiting the Shamans verdict

>>5729660
Prophet, Gliff Krab's glorious banner has inspired me to follow you into battle. Do I have your blessing?


Also... What of Khornab? His speech worries me.

>>5729671
You are dedicated to the sun, thoroughly and clearly... For that, I praise you.

rolled 4, 4 = 8

>>5729641
YOUR WAGER IS ACCEPTABLE, WORM. SHELLS FOR THE SHELL THRONE!

>this is amazing

How do you roll?

>>5729657
Ha, you Pretend to know the will of the Sun? I may still have a few tricks up my sleeve yet! Warrior Krab, let us restrain this upstart. By nipping away two legs on either side, we can effectively immobilize him. Then, he must be flipped on his back to lay within the Gaze of the Disc for one full light,time.

He wishes to be the Prophet of the Sun? Let him feel an iota of the glorious Regard i feel every moment of my day! The Sun may seek vengeance against the moonfolk, but we must show compassion to our kin.

If he repents, he will be shown mercy.

Boss Krab, don't you find this fighting between our own people hard to see?

>>5729692
shit i forget how to roll lol, one second

>>5729697
>Type "Dice 2d6" In email.

YA GIT, YA STICK YER KLAWZ OUT LIKE DIS SEE

AN YA JUST KRUMP 'EM LIKE DIS! GO FER DA EYES

>>5729617
Such rocks will be slightly more difficult to come by.

>>5729632
Your scavenging parties and scout parties periodically return with small peices of food or small shiny rocks.

None from the seaweed party have returned yet- oh here comes one now. It reports that a large patch of the plant has been located in waters off the shore.

A scout from the rock farther up the beach has returned, the totem and or altar may easily be more there and expose to the full glory of the Sun for your sacrifices!

>>5729660
Periodically individuals not consumed with other tasks use small shells filled with sea water and set them upon the rocks surrounding the tide pools.

>I'm getting tired so I think that'll be all for tonight. It got off to a slightly slow start but it got good! I'll be back monday, so stay tu

We have GOT to have a Krab Martin Luthor

>>5729701
...I'm sorry to have judged you. It was not my place.

>stay tuned; same krab time same krab channel, same krab program!

>>5729660
much thanks Holy One, I now await a foe to strike, be it the heretic amongst us, or those whom fled us yesterday.

>>5729713
>>5729723
BUT DIS TIME CAN IT BE HARDA?

>also, if someone wouldn't mind archiving this.

>>5729708
>>5729671
Will you fine warriors of the Burning Disc assist me with this endeavor? It is clear this upstart will not be silenced. I cannot have is dissension worrying our bretheren!

>>5729732
>I'll try!

>>5729741
You won't kill him? Yes, I'll assist you.

I'm sorry Khornab, but you were given several chances... Apparently, the sun wills this.

>>5729741
Did that roll not work? I did it as Boss Krab Advised! We must resolve this conflict before the Sun's Gaze leaves us for the time being!

ROIGHT, I'M GONNA GO KRUMP SUM PUNIES

NIGHT BOYZ

>>5729760
I think it didn't work because you capitalized the "d".

>>5729717
I don't think religious divides happen that fast.

>>5729752
If the Sun did not show benevolence, many would have already perished under an unceasing day. It is because of the benevolence of our Lord that we are allowed the cool of night. It is OUR duty to defend the realm of the sun that was usurped by the Moon in Elder times! Fear not my followers, for the Lord on High loves all!

Remove his legs, followers. Let us see how confident he is after a night and day alone! If he does not repent, i shall consume his heart myself!

>>5729804
But what if the moonkin strike at him in the night?

>>5729752
also, his struggling body will make a much better example to any that pretend upon the honor of Prophet of the Sun, than a simple quick death.

rolled 6, 4 = 10

>>5729804
DA PROPHET WILLS IT IN DA NAME OF DA SUN!

>>5729835
Ha! If he is felled by the treacherous, weakling, moonkin, then he never had the favor of Him Who Is On High at all. Remember, this is not a simple dissenter. He stood against the Prophet of the Sun! My klaws are too holy to dirty with his filthy blood.

rolled 3, 2 = 5

>>5729852
i believe that tears it! Assist us brothers, for we do the true work of the sun!

>>5729864
...Then I will help you to do this.

...May I have a request? Afterwards, if you have one to spare, could I have one of your shells? You see, I think the rhythmic sounds I've been making may sound better on them, and a shell could be carried. The Krabs seem more content with the rhythm.

...Sorry, Khornab. The Sun wills it.

>>5729804
>>5729852
PAH! YOUR WEAKLING SANDFLEAS ROLL FOR YOU! TRULY, THE SUN FAVORS ME! BUT FEAR NOT, FOR I SHALL CAPTURE HOLY LIGHT IN THE CONCAVE OF YOUR SHELL

>>5729852
>very nice drawing, by the way. I'm sorry to see tonight come to a close. Has this been archived, or shall I?

rolled 5, 1 = 6

shit failed last time.

rolled 3, 4 = 7

>>5729905
i would, but i've never figured out how to
>>5729885
but of course Krabda! For your assistance in this holy endeavor, i will give you a shell from my own carapace! The personal gift of one who is Touched By the Burning Disc will hopefully strengthen these "sounds" you speak of.

FOR THE BURNING DISK!!!! BURN HERETIC!!!!!!!!!

rolled 3, 4 = 7

>>5729933
I... Did not quite expect this! I'll treasure this blessed implement.

I hope to eventually bring you joy with my sounds.

>>5729942
shit rollfail

>>5729958
Warrior Krab, are you alright? Your attacks seem uncontrolled and... Well, not at all directed at your target.

>>5729958
gah, I just cant roll tonight

>>5729933
>>5729905
I've archived it, don't worry. The results of the dice rolls will have to be discussed on Monday. Maybe OP will even include them in the plot? Who knows. Have a good weekend, guys.

CRAAAAAAAAAGH!

>>5729973
Erm, try striking like this!

>it's dice xdx there's no plus sign

rolled 6, 4 = 10

> how do I roll again, forgot to save it last time, and copypasting BOSS KRAB's text wont work

rolled 2, 4 = 6

>>5729990
dont capitalize the D

dice 2d6 works

Alright... Lets put this unfortunate business behind us. It is time to rest. In the morning, we'll know of Khornab's feelings, and we can march to war on the moonkin.

rolled 2, 3 = 5

>>5729905
I'Z GONNA KRUMP YA GOOD!
>>5729950
Draw Fagged.

shit failed again entered new name in the email field.

>>5730025
Haha, your depiction DEFINITELY looks soothing. :D
