Cont.
A shrine for He Who Thirsts has been erected in you village, which has expanded greatly. The shrine has two parts.
The first being the actual shrine, where the blood offerings are made and your sacred weaponry is displayed. Your people have long since been using the advice of the dwarves to construct your homes and Shrines. The shrine is underground supported by Stone arches and reinforced with lumber. With He Who Thirst Holy Symbol, the bloodied spear, prominently displayed under the blare of torches. The glory of all battles are recorded on the Stone Arches.
The Second part, which is above ground, is the training arena. This is where your kinfolk hone their fighting skills in His name. The excel in the use of spear and claw, not needing the armor as the smooth skinned races do. That said, your people are still adept at the use of bow and arrow.


The Feathered Snake has her temple erected in the Mountains, and even has many Dwarven Followers. It consists of a large Dwarven constructed cave, with natural pillars. The Image of the Goddess, a giant serpent consuming an egg, has been carved from stone in the middle of the temple.

The fighting skills of your tribe have greatly increased, and with prayer to The All Father, your Council have learned the way of advance tactics, and sword play. This has come in quite handy, for many skirmishes with Humans have happened in the Western Mt. Range as of Late. No information on their strong hold.
Your people have stayed away from the Western Forest, many say it’s cursed. Giving it the name “The Forest of Moans”

The Council is needed. What path is The Reverent Brood to take?

Good luck all, I have to get what little sleep I can

>>17973055
Hey, I hate to ripple the water, but is there any chance you can label thing things and all that? I'm colorblind and the color-key does nothing for me...

>>17973061
We should explore the island. Just who or what killed Swimmer-of-Lake? We must seek vengeance!

>>17973061

I'm probably not gonna in for many more rounds tonight, buuuut,

This island killed Swimmer. In turn I think we should explore and colonize the island. Might be something of use, might not bed. Either way, Our Island.

The dwarves have become great friends to the Reverent Brood, however like all things I do not believe we should become dependent solely on their creations.

Let us improve our technology and learn the ways from which our dwarven friends forge these amazing iron weapons.

1

I dreamed of fire again. This was not the fire that burns outside but the heat that we need to fill us. In this dream, I saw the arrogant Draypon and the foolish smooth skins, and I saw the fire in their blood. I saw how they abused this heat, how their arrogant minds took this gift from He Who Thirsts and turned into their foul little magics.

He Who Thirsts’s cunning and the Feathered Serpent’s wisdom made us better—purer even. We walk a path of humility where we prostrate before our parents gifts and let the heat enter us. We will not be tempted to abuse our wise and cunning parent’s gifts. For blood is power, and our power remains pure. We will remain reverent!
(Just a little fluff to explain why we can’t use magic.)

I go for C1. We can’t allow humanity to hide in the mountains and harass us at their leisure.

>>17973088
Is this any better?

Improve Tech..niques for combating our foes.
Our fighting style seeks to spill the blood our opponents, we should more thoroughly study the weak points of our enemies learn how they are put together so we can better take them apart to honor He Who Thirsts.

Let us explore to the west along the banks of the Waters, while also using these boats as a base to send scouts in deeper in search of the Human Stronghold.

(OOC: I'd personally like to go into full withdrawl mode where I basically sit by the fires all the time praying. Maybe I can have some vision or overwhelming inspiration from the gods that allows me to learn some secret of fire. Willing to let you decide how long that takes.)

C1 I agree with Hissapol the Dream-scarred

Begging the wise council for a moment of your time- but, I wish to lodge a complaint.

Fish, fish, fish. That's all we're getting for food. Fish stew, fish jerky, salted fish, dried fish, roast fish, boiled fish.

Would it be so much to get some vegetables?

>>17973124

As always your words fill my heart with fervor and awe, very well; the secrets of our allies can wait. We must be united in our efforts to find the base of these humans and take their strongholds for our own!

(change to C1)

>>17973130
Much better.

>>17973142
To be clear, I meant the along northern banks of the Waters.

>>17973149

I'm... not sure I understand the question.

Are you saying we need to do more hunting?

>>17973160
Tooth Chewer post up there.

>>17973160

Perhaps this one is implying we cultivate the wild plants and grow them in fields of our choosing (farming)

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/17968729/ Old thread archived

>>17973171
And we use those for.... baiting more fish?

>>17973171
Hrn.. are those things even edible?
I suppose we could try tasting it, certain prey has been seen to eat some of it, we could start there.
Personally, I think the smaller creatures with the crunchy outside are a better choice.
Just don't eat too many of the ones with stingers.

>>17973124
Your visions are a reminder to all us Amazolli of our duty to uphold the tradition of our divine mother and father.

>>17973149
A new source of food would be fortuitous as a lot of our food goes to our friends the Dwarves. We have many sisterfolk to raise the younglings, perhaps a few of them can look into this one's concerns while the malefolk attend their duties as normal.

>>17973190
What if we grew these plants and gathered slow moving land animals to eat the plants? It would save our hunters time. The downside is that their is no real honour in killing such slow moving animals.

What do the Old Ways saw on this, wise one?

>>17973143
You sit, staring into the fire before you praying to He Who Thirsts for Guidance and the strength to defeat your tribes enemies.
Great acts of Worship will take 3 days of prayer from now on.

Can I ask to what the population is at currently?

Population: 118
Shadow Scales: 27
Food: High- Fishing
Architecture: Fair. Mostly wooden housing w/ under dens.
Weaponry: Iron- Bows, shortswords, basic bucklers
Tech: Moderate-High
Defenses: Natural lake defense

>>17973214
(I'm good with that. Maybe I can be all the more worrysome/looney for my kin by eating/drinking nothing but brightly colored berries gathered from the mountains.)

I suggest we start to limit the reproduction such growth is not good when we only have the lake and surrounding lands for food.

>>17973228
(eating nothing but the berries during the time I'm at the fires, that is.)

>>17973228
>>17973234
Perhaps we can store the juice from these berries.
While eating that which does not move is not appealing to me, the drinking of them does sound palatable.

>>17973213
Our mother, Coatliuitl, has no preference on the manner of the method food is caught or gathered, her hunger is sated by the end, not the means. That said, old songs and stories tell of her being partial to "sweet things from the trees and bushes". These must surely be the food of the gods.

>>17973160
>>17973171
>>17973194
>>17973203
The council sees it fit to expand the tribes food source. Tribesman are sent to cultivate the many herbs that grow by the waters edge. While not "filling" these plants give a great boost to your clansmens' energy.

Interesting.

We have expanded food stores, we have strong homes, and strong allies. It is time we found these humans and were rid of them. He Who Thirsts would be pleased by such a thing, I'm sure he would help us reveal the round-eared scum.

C1 we must rid of the round ears.

>>17973213
There is no honor in eating a captive beast, but neither is there shame.

(Improve 3)

Now while our allies the dwarves provide a decent buffer against the humans of the mountains, I fear that our shrine to our mother goddess is severely at risk in its current location. I suggest we fortify the shrine with a stone wall; lest we incur the wrath of our mother for any human sacrilege that would occur. Plus a tower around the shrine would help alert us of any human raids.

>>17973256
C1.

We should raid the humans. It's been too long since we showed them our power. I offer two of the Shadow Scale to assist the malefolk.

>>17973252
Perhaps in vessels made of baked clay, similar to the bricks we first made, but shaped into hollows that can hold drink or food more cleanly.

..and perhaps something made from animals to carry such things more portably, they seem to be able to hold plenty of fluids in life, maybe there is some portion not eaten that we could fashion for that task as well.

>>17973255
The wisdom you speak with, on behalf of the Feathered Serpent, our feared mother, inspires me. For the plants our like us, in a manner. They too bloom in the heat. So it must be that their juices are like our blood and hold that heat. While they might not be enough satiate our great father's thirst, clearly they can be used to sate our own.

Collecting them is perhaps a sacred rite forgotten over time, a rite clearly reserved for the females of our tribe. So they could be gathered, bleed of their juices which hold the heat of our revered parents, and then stored on sacred ground. During great festivals, we can drink this blessed liquids and take their heat into our bodies.

But these are matters of the Old Ways, and I overstep my bounds.

(Well, this is certainly an interesting thread. Would there by any way a dwarf could join the tribe? Hell, can I join at all in the first place? Figured it'd be better to ask than to just butt in, as a newcomer)

>>17973294
It's not really a "members only thread"
Pick a name, join in. Hell, be the first Dwarven council member if you want.

>>17973260
C3, but include ground scouts with the boats that can be sent ashore to sneak around if we get any leads regarding the stronghold.

>>17973294
(Sure? Who's to say you aren't a Dorfan ambassador or one of our Kin that grew up? Though, GM's discretion in the end.)

>>17973290
Not at all. We should look further into this. We have many sisterscales and not all are lain with eggs or preoccupied with younglings to raise. I am interested in finding this food of the gods.

>>17973290

You see too much mysticism in the everyday Dreamer.

The legends and tales, while true, are used today to guide us.
Fighting is something that please He Who Thirsts, but we do not fight out of piety.

Similarly, if the lizardwomen's tales speak of Feathered Serpent prizing berries, it does not mean that the gathering of them is a ritual, merely that we can consume them today, as she and hers consumed them in the past.

>>17973294
(Having a dorf voice on the counsel will be interesting, and people seem to pretty much wander in and out. Dunno how much that would confuse things for our Reasona-bro though. Would you be an envoy, or a convert?)

>>17973317
(Tooth post, sorry.)

>>17973294
Aye under-brother, perhaps a small clan of dwarves in the village?

>>17973302

(FUCK YEAH, LET'S DO THIS)

If I may so offer my own wisdom, my allies. As a race, us Dwarves usually keep to ourselves, but I feel it is time to expand our horizons, even if it is only I who may accompany you.

On the current matter, then, I believe we should hit these humans where they live, and show them who they're dealing with. In the Feathered One's name.

(C1 is my choice)

>>17973317

(Convert, as you may tell from my post)

>>17973294
It is already said that some dwarves have taken to worship of the Feathered Serpent.. If the stoutlegs is willing to accept the True Ways.. I cannot see a reason to deny them fellowship within the Reverent.
We should offer such to dwarves that wish to follow our ways.

>>17973326

Frankly, I don't right care if any o' the other join with me, I'm leaving. To much time inside, and not enough seeing what the world has to offer, is a dull existence indeed.

>>17973344

(And Armok almighty, my spelling needs some work tonight)

It has been an eventful year, but Tooth Chewer must rest for now.

Tell the younglings to mind their studies. The Lizardman that forgets is the Lizardman that grows feeble.

(So anyone can join right? If so I just need to think up a name)

>>17973143
Its been 2 days

With your constant skirmishes in the Northern Mountains, that would be the most likely place to look.

Under Cover of night a group of 12, Lead by 2 of Coatlicue's Shadow Scale, move Northward in search of the Human Stronghold.
But finding naught but plains.

On the way back your scouts were ambushed, by other Lizard Folk. Killing 1 of your shadow scale and 4 warriors. The remaining barely escaped.

Population: 113
Shadow Scales: 26

>>17973344
Tis the fate of many a Dwarf to grow tired of the dark, but remember the fates of so many who leave the dark forget it's safety is lost in the light-world. May your path be low and bountiful.

(I made a neat dwarven-esqe crest a while ago, may I share?)

>>17973375
It's been fun, night.

>>17973375
Your place on the council will be missed.

In Tooth Chewer's absence, we need another Venerating Patron of Eztliamiqui, He Who Thirsts. Any volunteers?

>>17973384
(I'm going to go with a lizard I'm just horrible with names)

>>17973382

Damned bastards! I'd lead a group of warriors to these poor excuses of life meself, if I was so allowed! As it is, we must not let this pass go unavenged. Not only failing to find the humans, but having taking such losses will begin to make us look weak. We must find, and exterminate, these pests!

(C1, yet again!)

>>17973382
Ambushed?
By lizardfolk?
They are not followers of the True Ways.
C1.

>>17973395
I can but a name eludes me

>>17973400

>>17973393
Go ahead, it'll be the Dwarven Flag.

>>17973400

(What of Long-Claw instead of Green-Scale? Just an alternative option)

>>17973382
Were they the hated Zetharni? They will pay dearly for the death of one of my sisters!
(It's only been a year so the new Shadow Scale aren't grown and trained yet, right?)

We can't go rushing in blindly, though. We must scout and find their camp, then ambush it, burn it to the ground, and bring any survivors back to be sacrificed to Eztliamiqui!

>>17973413
C1 We must hunt down the human and the non-believers(I'm going to go with this name as a nod towards tooth chewer)

>>17973393

My safety lies in my ability to protect myself. And as I have said before, I would be honored to lead this group into battle for our cause.

What did the survivors say? What did the Others do, how did they fight, what weapons did they use? As much as I want blood, we must use caution and reason, lest we fall into folly.

>>17973407
>>17973410
Send a large force, track them down to their homes, kill them and claim their young. If their home is suitable, claim that as well.

>>17973382
(If This one were aware of the events and could voice his opinions to the others, he would probably advise sending warning to the stout-ones of these other lizardfolk lest they be caught off guard by them and think we betray them.)

>>17973431

I would wear their scales as armor, so long as the rest of the tribe wouldn't be offended by the wearing of lizardfolk skin. Which would be, of course, not entirely unexpected, though these are our enemies.

(Dwarf needs some armor, eheh)

>>17973382

After such a disastrous loss of our scouting party I think it is time burrow into defense! (Improve: 3)

In fact, I believe in these times it is vital that we create a monumental tower to show to the races of this world for all time that these lands belong to the Reverent!

I propose we recruit our dwarven allies to construct a massive tower at our shrine the the mother goddess, a beacon to assert our authority on the land. A tower so grand that human and lizard will look upon it and fear what they must face.

It would require the entire tribe and our dwarf friends, but it will be a Wonder that will stand the test of time. Does any hold support of this idea!?

>>17973433

(As I am here, and also a Dwarf, they would more likely than not take my word if such events were to occur. Feel as if I'm already making a difference, eheh)

>>17973431
>claim their young

Yes their young would make perfect sacrifice to Coatliuitl. We would give her the taste of her once-children, and her gluttony will be focused on their brood and not ours. We would both gain her favor and direct her ire on them. Perfect.

>>17973442
If you can work iron into weapons why not bend it to protect yourself?

>>17973452
Perhaps we have a better handle on the humans and other lizardkin in the area

>>17973462

In my opinion, the metal, however protective, would be a heavy burden to drag around on my person during travel, though the idea did come to me before, you can trust in that.

I would also be using said armor as a way to intimidate our foes, and to help the lizardfolk and dwarves come together, if not in entirety, at least as close allies.

>>17973476
I see your point but wouldn't a dwarf clad in iron scare many enemies more then just skin?

>>17973426
16 of your Shadow scale are priestess and midwives training in the art of stealth.

>>17973427
Congratulations, you're his son.

>>17973429
You may lend Dwarven forces to the Army and be Joint-Commander

>>17973430
The were merciless, using barbed axes and Long Bows from afar, with far sharper arrows than your Clan is Capable

>>17973423
And here it is, The mighty crest of our great clan.
(what was our name again? also, color/design comments would be nice. I'll also be making it into a more traditional flag in a sec.)
>>17973429
Then may you fare well.

>>17973484

Some would say so, but the fact that, instead of forging such armor, I instead slew a foe and so mercilessly used them to my advantage would at least chill future enemies, and possibly scare them into not bothering us in the first place.

It's less direct than ye lizardfolk may be used to, but there are many ways to look at any given situation.

>>17973452
A great monument to the Amazolli! Brilliant! We shall carve it with serpents in honor of The Scaled Mother, The Feathered Serpent, Coatliuitl, and sacrifice the heathen lizards at its peak, their blood will drain down its walls, and Eztliamiqui, He Who Thirsts, will revel in our victories! A perfect union of our parent-gods.

>>17973485

More the reason to build M.y...ergh The Reverent's Tower! No arrow is sharp enough to cut through stone, we'd have a fort impenetrable from all attackers!

>>17973496

(I'm thinking you should change the blue to a dark-gold-ish color, mayhap as a sign of/in hopes of prosperity within the clan.)

>>17973485

If they may use their own special weapons, then we should use tactics of our own.

We find where they sleep, where they dream, and strike in the night. We leave but the young alive for sacrificial rites.

(If this one were aware of the others' plans or could share his opinion he might suggest that we claim, explore, and clear the island in the Great Lake first, so that we may build a tower with a natural moat.)

>>17973504

You honor me with your approval! I have plans for the base structure, and no doubt the gods will favor us eternally if we were to sacrifice blood upon such a magnificent monument.

>>17973485
Blood for blood, claw for claw. They show no respect, slaying one blessed by the Feathered Serpent. Find them, kill their men, kill their females, and sacrifice their young to feed our parents' hungers.

>>17973485
(Are only females born with the shadow scale?)

(Also, I'm thinking if we attack these lizards and capture their young, I want to attempt another prayer with a great sacrifice of their children to The Feathered Serpent to quench her hunger for her own kin and grant the Shadow Scales a portion of her great strength.)

Well my new friends, I'm afraid I can stave off sleep no longer.

For any future reference, my vote is for stamping out any rival lizardfolk presence in the area, converting young/eggs to the True Way, if possible, or going with the Blooded Midwife's suggestion if not.

When we can, I continue my suggestion for improving our knowledge of anatomy so that we can better bleed our opponents in combat.

Building-wise, I say we continue with our underground dwellings, going deeper with stone walls and solid roofing. Keeping the true size of our dwellings and villages a mystery to outsiders, with only a handful of structures above ground.

>>17973507

What of siege weapons, eh? Regardless, we should wait to construct such monuments to our power for such times where our power would become well-known.

I also think you should give a thought to the well-being of your fellow lizardfolk rather than your lofty ambitions, Stonewall.

>>17973433
Your Days of Praying have have rewarded you.

He Who Thirsts has come to you in a vision.
He has seen it fit to instill in you the mighty power of the Draypon.

"You and you alone are able to use the Fire Within to quench you God's unending thirst!
YOU will be the Commander on the front lines of battle for your people.
Do not disappoint me, Horned Lizard, of the Burn Scales"

You are the only one among the lizard folk able to use Fire Magic.

>>17973527
I like the thoughts that you have given to us old one

>>17973527

Though I wish to leave the underground depths of my previous home, I agree with the idea of having our lodgings and important structures built underground. Not only does it hide information from our potential enemies, but it provides safety as well, seeing as there's only one way into a hole, opening up the idea for defensive traps.

>>17973527
It's been fun, later.

>>17973536

(Flint will be jealous, but not foolishly so. Such a power, however nice it would have been to have for his own, will do good for the Referent Brood.)

The God Father blesses us with his one gifted in his magics! It is a sign! We must slay the pitiful heathen lizards and sacrifice them to Mother and Father alike! I am not so old that I cannot fight, myself. I will join The Horned Lizard in battle to strike fear into the hearts of our foes!

>>17973554
If the shadow scales can triple their numbers each year there shall be many great warrior for our tribe

>>17973512
wonderful idea.

>>17973561

Aye, agreed. Though I would be honored to serve under the Gifted One to do as much as I can to aid, if that can be arranged. Such a gift must be protected, and I would be happy to oblige with such.

Myself and any that accompany quietly working on a written language and meditating and praying of the matter, then dutifully recording our history and beliefs if that task is accomplished.

G'night to you all.

>>17973554
(Neato. I'll keep that in mind.)

The decisions stand at:

1. Send Scouts to find the Enemy LizardFolk's camp
2. Send an Army of ___ to attack Enemy LizardFolk
3. Send boats to scout for the Humans
4. Begin construction of The Serpents Tower
5. Explore the Forest of Moans

>>17973536
(But...but...but...I am not worthy! Wasn't expecting that. Got what I wanted and more.) His kin, this one has been granted a great gift and responsability by He Who Thirsts. This one asks that you raise the warhost and follow him into the mountains, that we may seek out those that have slain our kin and sate His Thirst for a time. (He is Draypon born!)

>>17973577
(Thanks! I'll make more if there are those who want one. I also have hundreds I make for fun to pick from)

2. Send an Army of normal warriors and shadow scales with the blessed one to attack Enemy LizardFolk

>>17973596

They are superior to us in weaponry, and thus, we must be superior to them in tactics. Night shall be our advantage.

(2 but we do so under cover of night)

>>17973598
You made the DM laugh pretty hard, congratulations.

Fire? Fire!

I fear it, having dreamed of the arrogance and wrath of the Draypon. I will have no part in this. I will remain back with the hatchlings, telling stories of the might of our great father as he caught the Draypon's fire in his hand and crushed into the burning orb that travels through the sky. I will not let myself witness as blood gets turned to ash.

>>17973598

(Try not to let it get to yer head, laddie, eheh)

>>17973596
1.

We must find their camp. Once we do, we attack in full force. I will lead my Sisters of the Shadow Scale along with the Horned Lizard and any who would like to join our army. My sisters and I will flank the enemy and when the heathens flee our army's might, we shall ambush them, route them, and take many prisoners to sacrifice to our gods. None will survive. We will leave the blood-drained corpses of their menfolk on stakes along the coast of the lake, and their womenfolk and children will be fed to our mother goddess, The Feathered Serpent.

>>17973599
I can't remember what everyone decided on actually.

Our tribe need a flag though, something with a winged serpent and A blooded Spear

Also The Dwarves of the Thread can name the Dwarven civilization, I never gave them one.

>>17973615

Such superstitious beliefs are down-right uneeded when the father himself has bestowed the power unto him. Mayhap you should give yourself a moment of thought before becoming thus frightened by these events.

>>17973596

I abstain from my vote, while our warriors are powerful I cannot in sound mind lead them to face a threat that from what was described holds far stronger weaponry than what we have in our possession right now.

Mayhaps we should search out their camp and then surround it. Then, when the Great Fire rises this one will initiate the attack with His gift. After this one has initiated the attack the rest of the warhost will fall upon the startled encampment.

>>17973659

I like that plan, but I still believe the night would be a better time to strike. All the better to see their homes go up in His righteous flames, eh?

>>17973658

(Well, if there's only 3 of us, I'm out-voted, but I still stick with Denizens, though I'm happy with either)

>>17973659
A sound plan. My sisters and I can lead the army through the dark of night to surround the enemy. You menfolk can coat their scales in ash to better blend into the dark, as you have suggested in the past.

>>17973658
>>17973644
>>17973637
You three are the Dwarves of the Council.

The population of the Dwarven city is 97, excluding children.

How many are you sending to join the joint army and equipped with what?

>>17973659
I shall agree as well
>>17973686
That is a great addition to his plan

>>17973686
(Meant coat your scales, derp. You don't need to coat the shadowscales scales! That'd be silly!)

>>17973687

I would bring a 10-dwarf group, armed with daggers and dark cloaks to aid the Midwife and her sisters. I believe we should choose the ones most skilled with such work, as well, if they are available.

A thought occurred to me, my fellow councilmembers. Our fisherfolk have these tools, these nets, that they use to catch large sums of fish from the waters. Could we not use these on our enemies to ensure more captures?

The plan so far seems to be

1. Scout and Find the enemy camp
2. Attack from one side with a group of lizard Folk and shadow scales
3. Attack from opposite side with bulk of the army.

Corrections would be great.

>>17973710

Aye! Why I hadn't though of such an idea is beyond me, and thus, I respect your wisdom. We could also certainly use them for traps, which may prove helpful in the future.

>>17973710
But would a net be strong enough to withstand claws of the lizardkin? or what of the barbed axes they wield?

>>17973716

(Some of us are leaning towards a late-night/early-morning strike, though I'd like to hear people's opinions on that idea more, if possible)

>>17973716
I think it's more like
1.find and scout camp
2.main body attacks
3.shadowscales wait on their flanks for when they retreat

Or theres a plan for attacking at night I'll leave that to the Midwife

>>17973722

Instead of using the same nets as those used for fishing, we could use stronger ones, mayhap ones made of fine wire, which would not only prove a stronger material, but would cause said captives greater discomfort. Barbing said wire would work wonders, as well, if we have the resources for either.

>>17973700
Aye, my Cousin holds sway in the halls of foggy-hearted ilk of that kind, but... Knowing my scoundrel of a Cousin would probably demand a hefty compensation for such an act.

Would it not be wiser to outfit the Midwife and her sisters with better weapons and armor? Then the outcome of the battle, whatever it may be, will be out of our hands.

>>17973741
Under your word the Dwarven smiths begin production immediately.

>>17973710

While it would prove useful I do not believe this is the time to test out experimental weaponry, not when we are certain to encounter foes with greater weapons than our own.

>>17973752

Aye, I suppose so, but I would still like to accompany them meself, if not for my own frustration, to prove that I am willing to risk my safety for the tribe's sake. As for my own talents, as I said before....I'm not yer average dwarf. But one thing I am, is loyal.

>>17973760

Our enemy's innovation must be met with our own, or so I believe. And thus my continued support of the Midwife.

>>17973741
Your dwarfs always amaze me at what the can make!

>>17973734
The Horned Lizard's plan will work for the night attack.

>>17973760
There is wisdom in your words. Let us continue to develop these nets of barbed metal. They will bring us many sacrifices for our gods in the future, I think.

>>17973776

Well, if nothing else, we have time in our halls to think of ways to defend ourselves from intruders, and to teach them the error of their ways. Though I thank you for your compliment.

>>17973775
If you believe they will be ready in time for the attack, my Shadow Scaled sisters and I will use them after our volley of arrows. Us womenfolk are larger than the menfolk, thus the job will be more suited to us.

This one's biggest fear is that warriors of this tribe we able to ambush some of our greatest warriors. Getting past their scouts will prove a far greater trouble than attacking an unaware camp that is sleeping.

>>17973789

Well, I cannot be sure of how long these new weapons would take to be made, but I can't imagine it would take us -much- more time.

(How long would you think, o wise Reason-ish Voice?)

>>17973791
Perhaps we should find their scouts and then attack the camp?

>>17973791
*were able

>>17973793
10 nets can be completed within the night working all of the next day 45 can be made, but only a maximum of 35 dwarves will be usable for the joint army

>>17973791
That is what my sisters are for. The task of penetrating their defense lies with us. We could utilize our boats to send a force from the lake's waters, I doubt they will be watching them as closely.

>>17973818

(I believe we decided the dwarves will be sitting this one out, albeit this brave one. The Shadowscales may use these weapons, then)

(Captcah: velsadi says. See, even Velsadi is backing me up!)

>>17973818
(We should send at least 10 shadowscales. We want to ensure we can breed more incase some are killed.)

(As a side note, after we're done fighting for the moment, we should look to uncover more of our ancestors' lost legends. We should have more than just two gods to gain favor from.)

Scouting first?

If so with how many Shadow Scale?

OOC: I have to head to bed, I'll keep an eye out for the thread tomorrow

>>17973840
That's a good idea others may have to try that though for other gods may not want the patrons of currently worshiped gods

>>17973769
Aye brother, you prove that the best friend anything could have is a Dwarven friend. Go and fight well with them.


(SERPENT CLAN! Your banner is nearly done, what colors mean the most to you? Also have you agreed on a name yet?)

>>17973843
Let's send six of our Shadow Scales to scout for their watchers. Three groups of two. We don't want to send too many lest they be seen too early.

>>17973847
Thanks for participating, it's been fun.

>>17973847
(Night, man. It's been fun.)

>>17973849

Thanks, lad. I will certainly try me best.

(Think I might start putting a little bit more Dorf in my dwarf, though it won't be horribly bad, eheh)

>>17973847
See you tomorrow stout one

>>17973873
(heh, then this ought to be good...)

>>17973849
(I've been calling our people the Amazolli, which is Aztec of tradition. Our favored colors would probably be red, green, and blue. Red for blood, green for our scales, and blue for the water.)

>>17973884

(AND MY AXE!...hm, maybe not -that- much...)

>>17973890
(I can dig this)

>>17973863
Your Shadow Scale blend into the Darkness of the night. Unnoticed by any enemy scouts. This is what they find.

your enemy has a camp of about 65 lizard folk most are equipped with the barbed axes, while some carry bows.
There are three ways of attack for your army and escape for your enemy.

What are you plans of attack with your new information

The map would probably help, huh?

The thread will end after the battle.

My mistakes are getting for frequent.

>>17973899
(Looks like we're separating into 3 groups. I could bring 11 shadowscales, counting myself that would make 12, so we could have 4 in each group. I'm thinking each group should be headed by a council member to ensure success for each one, but that can be up for debate.)

>>17973915
How long will this go dormant for?

>>17973899

Well, if the Shadow Scales would allow it, I would like to join their ranks for the attack against these most foolish of fools.

If (understandably) not, I believe we should have at least -some- forces at all three pathways, possibly using th' new nets to our advantage in th' way of...ye guessed it..traps. I would like to s'port one of these efforts, if the former option isn' in the cards fer me.

>>17973930
I could head one of the groups it would bring much honer for my family and out tribe

>>17973933
No idea, I probably wont continue this one. But Email me and I'll give you an update whenever I'm starting a new thread though.

>>17973930
(I'll attack from the east, assuming that's where the sun rises.)

>>17973945

(Also, dibs on one of those barbed axes, to be sure)

>>17973948
Whats your email?
>>17973930
I could attack from either the south or west

>>17973964
Thatsacoolstory@yahoo.com

One path covered

>>17973930

(See this post, would you kindly)

>>17973945

>>17973984
I'll take the one to the south if The Midwife approves

>>17973950
I will lead my Shadow Scale sisters along with shield brother Flint Durzek and a force of our menfolk. The Horned Lizard and Ringed Tooth will both be accompanied by a force of my sisters as well to assist them in our ways of stealth.

>>17974000
>>17973999

(The trips demand it!)

All I take to this battle is me dagger, Midwife, and 'tis all I'll need fer these grubby bastards.

>>17973999
That I do. Make your father proud out there, young one. We make our glory today.

>>17973989
(I gotcha, man.)

>>17974000
So mark me down for the south passage for it is the least i can do for the tribe

>>17974009

(Sorry, just making sure you didn't miss it or anything)

The Plan

Objections?

Each will have 4 Shadow Scale leading under cover of night. With about 37 LizardFolk Each

(Just throwing my PnP email out there. Somebody send me an email when the new thread starts up if i'm not there

>>17974025

A glorious victory this shall be, lads 'n' lasses. To the victors go the spoils, an' all that.

>>17974025
Looks good to me

>>17974025

(I'll shoot you an e-mail, if you'll be notifying us of future threads, though I would like some small period before you begin the thread for others (and myself) to get on in time. Unless you choose some time now, which would be dandy)

>>17974025
A sound plan. With our gods' favor, a total victory is assured.

(I'll shoot you an email with my real email for future threads. I just made this one today and I doubt I'll remember it passed today lol)

>>17974025
(So, I suggest that after I've begun torching shit the archers we have, if any, take out any guards that are on duty and then the rest of the army closes in. Is it possible to discern an armory/barracks or some form of area where they keep their warriors/weapons?)

>>17974050
>>17974051
Sounds good.

Let me type out the battle and this thread will be pretty much done.

>>17974059
Oh, so we aren't going to be doing any rolling or anything? Alright.

>>17974065
Actually that's a great idea. hold on

>>17974065
>>17974075

(FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU-but seriously, good point. Let's hope I don't die! :D)

Night falls, and it is near day break when you attack their makeshift encampment.

They don't seem surprised when Coatlicue and Flint's group attack, almost as if they were expecting it.

Both of you Roll a d50

>>17974075
not sure if shoulda kept mouth shut...

>>17974086
OOOHHH Nonononono! This will make for a much better finish!

rolled 11 = 11

>>17974082
These heathens have no defense against the blessings of Coatliuitl, Mistress of the Cold Blooded Ways!

rolled 11 = 11

>>17974082

(Here we go, guys)

>>17974093
I hate to say it but I agree with him!

>>17974101
>>17974102
(Hahaha, elevenses! It's a sign!)

>>17974101
>>17974102

(I'm sorry, but....wut)

>>17974102
>>17974101
Double dubs? Surely you are blessed?

>>17974122

(Your dubs confirms it, Gifted One)

>>17974122
Oh wow...I knew I shoulda used that "nice dubs but check these" line...

>>17974144

(OH, THE IRONY!)

>>17974102
>>17974101
What are the odds..

10 Lizardman and one of your Shadow Scale fall immediately by there arrows. The Barbed nets provided by the Dwarves saved most of you groups Army. Getting close enough to render your enemies arrows useless you lash out with your nets and spears. 13 of their numbers fall

Ringed Tooth Roll a d100

>>17974144
>>17974122
Glorious.

>>17974159

(I KNEW those nets were a good idea! KNEW it!)

>>17974122
>>17974144

I'm adding this to your roll.

>>17974144

>>17974168

(You may be surprised, but you might want to take a glance at mine. (But seriously, after this enough of this __-get business, too much sidetracking))

bah can someone roll for me i cant into dice

>>17974172
put it in your email field

>>17974179
I got it thanks for the tip first time rolling to

>>17974188
>>17974177
By the power of grey skull...

Please ignore the second roll that was a accident

>>17974188
(Awwwwww yeah that's what I like to see)

>>17974200

At first, I was like, "Indeed, power of Grayskull"

But then, you got dubs again.

You're basically Liono, but lizardfolk-version. Just need a proper sword.

>>17974211
and it continues...

>>17974211
lol this is getting silly

>>17974188
They were expecting Coatlicue and Flint's group, but not yours!

With the help of the Shadow Scale and Your own ash covered scales you've already taken down 20 of their army.

They know they're outmatched. The begin their retreat towards the east.

>>17974211
>>17974200
God damn dubs

Horned Lizard..

Roll 1d100+25

>>17974230

I EMPOWER YOUR ROLL, HORNED!

>>17974230
Fire! Fire! Firescales! Hoooooo!

The suspense.

rolled 96 + 25 = 121

>>17974258
I fucking blew it...

>>17974261
>>17974242

NOOOOPE. Chuck Testa.

>>17974261
holy butts

>>17974261
...and I used teeth!

FUCKING.

ANTICIPATION.

hoo boy, this is a big'n

>>17974270
You should change your name to fire scales horned lizard

(Snake Tribe, I really hope your filthy god enjoys this banner I put far too much work into creating. I missed my chance to write two extremely important essays, do me a favor and legitimately pray to whatever gods you know to fix my horrid fucking work ethic, I beg you.)

>cultsno encouraging
I DONT NEED THIS RIGHT NOW CAPTCHA

>>17974319

Hm...how about Flame-Blessed? Just an idea.

>>17974261
Wow. That's one way to put it.

The sun begins rise as your enemy makes it's hasty retreat east. That is when the Arks of flames envelope them. From your very palms come the streams of Fire. Very few escape the gruesome fiery death. Those that do, are quickly captured.

There are no remains of the one caught in your destruction.

The Battle has been won, with minimal casualties on your side, and maximum on your enemies. The All Father Smiles upon your tribe this day.

TO BE CONTINUED

>>17974319
Tletl Cuacuahuitl is "Fire Horn" in Nahuatl if you think that sounds cool.

>>17974330
Holy fuck that's awesome.

>>17974330
I like it, 'tis purty.

>>17974336

I better get my barbed axe. I had dibs, Armok damn it!

That aside, this was some good fun. Nice meeting you all, and the end there was pretty damn epic.

>>17974330
I fucking love that flag man

>>17974330

Very nice job, son. May Armok guide your pen-arm.

>>17974338
I like the ring of Fire Horn. Though the Nahuatl is way to many letters and cyllables for me to type/remember.
>>17974336
Fawk yer. Nike!

>>17974330
The banner is hoisted Above the seared battlefield. This land is to be known as a sacred place, The Mountains of Scorching.

>>17974336
That's what they get for being filthy heathens.

Awesome thread, OP. Hopefully I can make it to any new threads. If not, someone else can deal with the shadowscales. I've never actually roleplayed a female character before, this was my first time. I just felt since it was lizardfolk, there should be some sort of matronly monster-mother and I think it worked out well.

>>17974330
That flag is just amazing. I'm saving this.

>>17974376
This was a blast and i hope to get a email from you soon!

>>17974390

>Implying the rest of us haven't already saved it.

And if ye haven't, ye should, else I may take one o' these barbed axes to yer skulls!

>>17974387
Could not have asked for better players.
Make sure to Email. I don't think anyone could be near as good a leader of the Shadow Scales as you are. I'm looking forward to the next thread.

>>17974422

Aye, a great leader indeed. And me, I'm just plain awesome, o'course.

>>17974387
I agree with voice of reason no one could have done shadow scale like you man

>>17974431
Your Dwarvish is just astounding

I'm archiving this thread. Talk to you soon guys, later.

Here's the old thread's archive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/17968729/

And this one's: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/17973055/

>>17974431

Disregarding cockiness, and in all seriousness, this was most definitely fun, and I hope to see you all again soon.

>>17974452
Oh nice. Thanks

Ok, 7Am

I'm going to bed.

oh boy...Fire Horn the Draypon Born!

>>17974463
Night, man. Hope to play again in the future, I had a lot of fun.

I am happy you all like it, here's the alt.
I removed the pictograms for the wings I forgot to add and fixed form minor errors.

I hope Armok blesses my works.

>>17974463

Sleep is for the weak!

Also, switching to my normal name for /tg/

Well, night guys. See you next time! Same bat time, same bat place!

>>17974473

Ah, there we go.

>>17974469

He already has, lad. He already has.

>>17974475
I think you mean we're night owls

>>17974481

What a hoot!

>>17974485
Don;t you do your own threads from time to time?

>>17974499

Mayhap a long time ago, in a thread far, far away, though nothing recent. But I do get around. Least, I try to.

I actually saw Veranus the Swift in another thread, so I was surprised to see him in here, too. Quite the cooincidence, I say.

The sun's come up and I should probably sleep also. If there's a thread tomorrow, I I hope it's not as late as this one because I usually go out and get annihilated on Thursdays. And Fridays... And Saturdays... I shot the OP an email, so I'll keep in touch though, guys.

Coatlicue, btw.

>>17974522
Actually I've only been in /tg/ for about a week and i could have sworn you were doing something with 40k

>>17974532

I'd say grab a more common name for general /tg/ browsing. Who knows, we might see each other in other threads!

>>17974546
Shoot me a email zanbato613@hotmail.com
And if I do do more browsing with a name itll probably be Crown or something like that

>>17974535

Hm.....Do you mean today, mayhaps? Seeing as this is my first time on in...months, I'd say, it'd have to be. Unless someone was using my name, of course. Would need a tripcode then, eheh.

>>17974560
I might have saw your name a couple days ago in a few threads maybe you do need a trip?

>>17974560
I might do that. If you see someone named Castleburger around, it's probably me. I've been on /tg/ since it started and never once namefagged myself. Anyway, night guys.

>>17974570

Night, then. Putting up a tripcode now, hope that'll help in the long-run.

>>17974569

At any rate, I hope the person was doing me justice. If someone -was- impersonating me, I find that almost flattering. Almost.

I'm probably gonna continue lurking in other threads, but I'll keep this one open, in case you guys are still gonna be talking. If not, I'll be seeing you around.

Holy shit, I'm writing wonderfully now, Thanks to you oh mighty Armok. For you I'll be creating your godly mark for all of your blessed servants to use.

(that means you guys should make your own additions to his symbol, perhaps this creativity will appease him?)

also, OP I'm sending you an email!

>>17974708

Yeah, good bunch of people seem to have either gone to bed or are busy elsewhere, but I'm glad the paper is going well. Guess the god of blood has some tricks up his sleeve yet, eh?

On a side note, how much do you bet that OP gets 50 e-mails?

Hissapol the Dream-scarred here: just have to say that the ending was pretty cool. I still stand by my decision to duck the final fight though.

>>17974785

Yeah, but we got some pretty sick flags now, so it was a win-win! Plus, we have advanced technology as well, which is also nice.

Here's some Armok iconography ideas. Make your own! Armok demands it!

>>17974726
oh yeah, hundreds even. I hope this one lasts.

If we play our cards right we might even end up on 1d4chan, but thats just my optimism speaking.

>>17974912

I think I might color the bottom right one for the Shadow Scales, as an emblem for their sect of the tribe.

Meh, it was being annoying, though I might revisit it at a later date.

According to the chronicles of our people, we had named ourselves The Reverent in reference to our honoring of the Ways.

(or at least the one everyone liked at the end of the previous thread)

After a much needed pilgrimage to rest and hone my fighting skills, I return to the village, eager to see what my kinsmen had accomplished in the time I was gone. Most things have pleased me greatly, but the attack on the human encampment in the mountains, I would say was a disgrace.

It seems as if the dwarves are our allies now. Dwarves are great at digging tunnels. Although it may have stalled the assault a bit, we should have had a tunnel strike route dug into the humans camp. If we would have appeared from the ground, in the middle of their encampment, I believe we would have had greater success.

Just my two cents, but in the mean time, I welcome all the new faces to the council. By the way, have we decided on a name for our tribe yet? I was looking over council notes, and did not find one.

>>17976805
When Reason last called for a name, we all agreed with The Reverent.
>>17972915
or http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/17968729/#17972915 in the chronicle being carved into long-lasting stone.
Considering that representation of ones that we revere are on the wonderful banner, it will serve us well.

The most noteworthy battle with the humans was the one you helped plan before your pilgrimage,
Our recent battle was against other lizardfolk that ambushed us.

Bumping now that I'm awake after going to bed at 8am...never done that before while a civ...

>>17977027
Yeah, just skimming through the chronicle to see what happened. Either way, I had noticed that one battle was in the mountains, and we should have made tunnels to mess with the people we were attacking.

The Reverend is a proud name. It supports our long tradition of the gods and the old ways.

Bump. requesting short summation of events.

>>17977690
Well, this one is Fire Horn the Draypon born.

>>17977690
In reality you're going to have to read the previous thread and this one so you can get the lore we have, the mindset, and the development we've gone through.

>>17977794
I was actually was a contributor to the previous thread. Toying with tossing a condoterri inspired human into the mix, but i need a better grip on what's going on.

>>17977920
I dunno if it's the best idea to throw a human into the mix. Right now a majority of the people seem to want to hunt down the humans in the mountain area.

>>17977971
Different batch. And if they kill him, they kill him.

>>17977920
I'll give you a quick run down.

We were expelled from our nation due to revolution.

We slowly created a new city and explored our surrounding areas.

Due to our mother goddess, the Feathered Snake, we were blessed with lizardfolk, the Night Scales, that have dark scales and dark vision. He Who Thirst is our father god, who likes battles.

Using these new warriors, we have struck down the pink skins (the humans). Upon our success with this, we have allied ourselves with the dwarves.

Some other group of lizardfolk are in the area, which we also dispatched due to superior army.

>>17978019
So everything is more or less as I thought, plus some dude with FUS RO DAH.

>>17978135
Bump

>>17978651
Bump
