we did find the humans! (are the uutlan the humans?) yuh yuh

BUMP FOR LIZARDS

>>19825426

there's like 6 votes, 5 in agreement by the looks of it...

E. We fortify the town. The last siege is something we should learn from, we cannot last another pitched battle unless we start preparing now

Dragontail Mountains:
[C]
Following the construction of the greatsword, many of the smiths started experimenting with two-handed versions of every weapon. They eventually created iron greathammers and iron battle axes.

Seat of Kri'kla:
[A]
With the farm unable to produce the required quota of food the villagers start scavening from the local area, the search is moderately successful.

Disaster! Some sort of bug is eating all of the crops, leaving none to be gathered!

C1: Harvest what is possible, then ask the humans for help on this issue.

Improve Settlement at the mines, maybe making a proper town there. (B)

At the Seat of Kri'kla, scavenge food. We will need as much as we can get during this bug infestation. (A)

>>19825510
>>19825502

I would have the mines fortify their location and improve their settlement

as for the seat, to deal with the bugs we should destroy them by hand. then we should build a larger plantation if the one we have isnt big enough and we're trying to expand.

rolled 35 = 35

>>19825536
I agree with this.

The plantation we have is not large enough?? We should see if humans know about bugs. and we should build another plantation.

Have the miners continue to invent new things.

>>19825502

>lizards

>we eat bugs
>eat the bugs while we figure out what to do about our food.

>>19825624
This is actually a good idea. Hey Angrydorf, what sort of bugs are we talking about? If these are large enough, we could turn this mishap into a farming opportunity!

C1
Lets get the humans to assist us with the bug problem if possible.

>>19825536
B
I agree, lets attempt to make a proper town so

A
More food for the betterment of our people

>>19825640
>>19825624

Wait... the logic, it is impeccable. Insects multiply at stupidly high rates, are nutritious (apparently) and as reptiles we are equipped to eat them.

>>19825669
They could be poisonous, even to reptiles, or could be too small to be worth our while, however. It's really up to whatever the DM has decided.

>>19825684

So we have one dumb lizard try it out first, and even if they are small we can farm them efficiently because insects reproduce in retardedly high numbers. Especially weevils or crickets (which would be eating the plants). They could be a centimeter across but if we have enough it doesn't matter yaknow? But yeah, one person should try eating one, and if it doesn't kill them we should eat the bugs.

rolled 57 = 57

>>19825536
I agree with this on all accounts.

C1 we need to get as much food as fast as we can, then consult the humans on the bug issue.

Dargontail Mines: B, we might as well turn this into a proper town, its an important settlement.

Seat of Krickla: A, get as much food as fast as possible. We need to feed!

>>19825709
That's what I opt to change my C1 option to.

C1: Have someone test the insects. If they are poisonous or inedible in some way, harvest what is left of the food and consult the humans.

I hope our weapons and shields are more advanced than the tools being used by our enemies...):

rolled 30 = 30

>>19825736
okay yeah why not C:1 test the insects for edibility. If they are edible eat them, if not harvest food stuffs.

>>19825803
We only have one official enemy. It's a single war general who wields a cursed blade, and destroyed 100+ goblins by himself.

Our allies have more advanced weapons than us as well, as they bought very fine weapons from the dwarves. We know that pretty much everyone else is better off than we are.

>>19825803

If the next army we fight has more advanced weaponry than us, we wasted all of our last however many rounds focusing on developing our armaments. Like we srsly have been focusing on it in one or both towns since the goblin siege. We did that so that the next time we fought someone, we'd have a leg up there at least. I want this food thing resolved so that we can focus on fortifying our capitol though, what we had last time was not enough.

Dragontail Mines:
[B]
Several new burrow houses are built outside of the mines wall, the new living spaces can accomadate up to five more lizardmen.

Seat of Kri'kla:
[A]
Without many alterantives for food, the towns folk once again scavenge for food desperately, they manage to pull in a decent amount of food. But what is even more exciting, one of the lizardmen found a chest full of gold pieces and gold rings, he brought it into the treasury! All in all it counted out as 500 gold pieces and 25 gold rings.

[C1]
The workers harvest what they think is edible, and send a group of three warriors to ask the Uutlans for help.

Dark clouds can be seen from the northern mountains, they are moving southwards, the lizardmen might find themselves in a storm.

>>19825820

*600+ if I remember correctly. Wouldn't the goblins be counted as an enemy as well? Surely we did not destroy their entire population.

>>19825836

Have one of the lizards try eating a bug. If he dies, he will have died a patriot. If it is harmless, we should breed these insects in our burrows. Maybe dig a room for them. If anyone here plays Skyrim, it would be like the relationship between Chaurus and Falmer - only the insects wouldn't be nearly as threatening as Chaurus or nearly as huge.

>>19825920
We are cold-blooded lizards, sentimental bullshit is for faggots! We only care about steel, blood and glory!

I think that we should consider investing the gold in tools. Maybe our trading partners have anything good we can buy or might be able to purchase something from the dwarfs on our behalf?

I also think that we should scout the surface area for new trading partners and threats.

Weapons seems too expensive, but if we could set up our Mine with better tools we might atleast improve effiecienty and have more lizards to spare for exploring

>>19825964
They're about the size of the average beetle, so I guess.

>>19825964

I think he's avoiding the question because he was trying to give us a tragic famine, and we are logically able to use it to our advantage and he wants this to be hard mode. Our waifu died, and so did her children, and a guy who can destroy armies wants to destroy us. Can we please just have this?

Or we could capture some bugs and loose them on the humans.

Then they'd pay us to get rid of them

>>19825850
OP If I dare to inquire, would spending a turn developing better training methods for our kind have any significant improvement in future battles?

I realize this is not yet the time to think of it, with the storm coming and all; it's just something I wondered.

As to our decisions well... we desperately need food so i'd go for A on both as it seems they'll be stuck inside for a while till the storm passes by.

>>19826022
Let us harvest them and eat them! We can turn this catastrophic event into a successful farming opportunity!

EMBRACE THEM! Feed them! Breed them! EAT THEM!

>>19826075
Yes it would.
Right now our soldiers are basically just farmers with weapons.

agreeed on harvesting the bugs.

Also develioping unit tactics seems like an excellent idea. We'll be scaley roman amazons.

Seriously there's a species of lizard that consists entirely of females, they lay eggs when they reach a certain point of thier life and never have to mate with a male. Look it up.

>>19826114
We should really not anger those humans. We are starving as it is, and we really have no use for the "shinies" other than trading with them.

this, i say we build a a chamber for them to build nests and to multiply in the warrens. we grow some food and throw it to them every now and again, and we farm them. we should become insect farmers. they multiply quickly, don't need alot of taking care of, and if we eat insects we won't have to bother farming very much or trading for food with other people. this is a very good idea.

>>19826143
>We charge into the onslaught with our GOLDEN KATANAS and GOLDEN ARMOR!

This is getting real silly, real fast.

>>19826075
Then I suggest we consider turning ourselves into a warrior tribe. Every single man who can wield a weapon must be taught the art of war, even the priests.

This is of course a matter that shall be settled after this storm finishes with raping our asses tho.

What we should do is strip everyone naked and have them all sit through the storm outside.

Only the strong survive in this tribe

Once this whole bug/food problem is over we should finish off The Mad Fellows defense ideas at the end of the last thread. They were grand. Then train up our population

>>19826191
No. And no fucking our allies over either. This is hardmore, we will need allies.

>>19826136
>>19826136

we should send some more lizards to the mines, as it seems to be our military stronghold atm and begin training in battle.

in the seat of kri'kla we focus on the development of bug farms.

Breed the bugs over time till they can be used as mounts and beasts of burden. If we can't do that, trade shinies for bite animals.

HEAR ME OUT

We seem to be fine craftsmen and smelters, hell they're the only ones inventing shit, We are also shown to be horrible at bartering so...

Lets melt down our gold, improve their quality by making them into pimp gear and then use THAT to trade

Think about it, our entire civilization will totaly be remembered

"one of those river lizards came to trade today. He gave us 2 golden swords for some spears and a golden axe for most of our coal. Damndest thing"

>>19826175
Compared to everyone we have met so far, we are a sorrow bunch of losers,

We are too few, we also lack the infrastructure to commit to a siege. We should focus on growing our tribe. We need greater numbers,

Better tech, more trading partners because gold is useless to us.


Dragontail Mines
E: Improve camoflage


Seat of Kri'kla
Send out a team of explorers to scout for new trading partners and to discover possible threats.

Send out a team to purchase tools for our mine from the Uutlan. Find out what they produce themselves.

The people left should prepare for the storm, dig trenches to prevent flooding.

Dragontail Mines:
[B]
A smithy is constructed inside the walls of the camp, they use it to not only smelt the ore but also to shape it. Finished weapons can now be transported directly from the mines, allowing a much higher productivity rate.

Seat of Kri'kla:
[A]
The villagers continue scavenging.

Scouts report large bands of ogres patrolling the steppes, clubbing wild animals to death and eating them.

The high priests order one of the lizardmen to eat one of the beetle bugs. He does, and says that it tastes kinda' like a really really sweet strawberry, but after a few hours the lizardman complains of having severe stomach ache, but nothing apparently lethal.

It was too late for the trade party to return, they eventually reached the Uutlan camp and ask them about the beetles, they recognize these beetles as 'Candy Bugs' for their sweet taste. He tells the lizardmen that they are a wide spread pest among his people, and that they know of no sure way to kill them for good. He also says that the queen beetles are a delicacy among his people, because they donot give stomach aches. The trading party sets off back to the capital.

Dragon-Tail Mines: D make some fuckin' steel.

Seat of Kri'Kla: dig a burrow specifically for the candy beetles, design it so that we'll have minimal trouble keeping track of the little bastards.

Are you really trolling? you give us a plague we can't fix, and there are 'large' bands of ogres around. motherfuck we are just always screwed. If we could develop a way to eat the bugs without getting a stomach ache that would be nice, and super useful but fuck.... fldsjkgjalsjglka

I think we should avoid the ogres. if they come nearby us, we're just fucked really. but we can't confront them and if we 'watch' them, with our luck, they will kill our scouts and use them to track down our camp where they will kill us and eat what food we have.

I think we should start working on technology in the mines, our weapons seem alright for now.

and we should scavenge for food i guess since we have an unabatable famine): fuck that noise i want to get started fortifying our capitol))):

>>19826418
>>19826352

no one would want gold weapons because they don't fucking work. theyd only be useful if melted down and smithed into coins, but that means we'd be wasting our time making them into weapons in the first place. this talk of gold weaponry needs to end.

I like the idea of taming and relocating the candy bugs, and while they are down there, eventually we can invent a recipe that eliminates the stomach ache yaknow? eventually. for now we quarantine them.

while those three lizards are at the human encampment, can we ask the humans where to find the dwarves?

We need food and we need population, focus on these two things at least in the Seat. Continue focusing on tech in the Dragon Tail mines.

obviously i mean duh! this is hard mode yaknow, its not like we could just eat bugs like any real lizard in the whole fucking world. nope, the famine must be unstoppable, and no amount of quick witty thinking or clever resourcefulness will ever make things easier for us. that's how you play games like this you know. thinking on your feet, logically and intelligently does not improve circumstances. ever.

Dragontail Mines:
[D]
The smiths at the mines attempted to replicate the shiny weapons they found at the Uutlan camp, they experimented with dozens of different methods, but never could they replicate the Uutlans blades exactly.

Seat of Kri'kla:
[B]
The high priest ordered the workers to capture as many candy beetles as possible, and dump them into a special chamber in the warrens that were made for insects, even if the beetles did cause stomach aches they were still edible. A corridor was mad in one of the junctions, it lead to a wooden door, behind the door was a moderately deep hole where the insects would be. But without the queen or any knowledge of their reproduction they wouldn't be able to renew their supplies.

The candy beetles seem to be coming from somewhere nearby, because no matter how many the farmers pick more take their place.

[C1]
The high priest orders for the scouts to avoid the ogres, despite their dumb nature, their good sense of smell could potentially lead them to the capital. Not that it would matter, the ogres probably wouldn't make it past the outer wall.

The storm has already hit the dragontail mines, and will soon hit the capital.

One of the treasurers reports that 30 gold is missing from the treasury, probably a thief of some sort. In the homeland stealing was one of the most grave offenses, and was punishable by death. In the lizardmens history of settling here there hasn't been a single case of thievery, until now.

mines = continue with technology

the capitol should figure out where the queen is and should improve the settlement with another farm

as for the theif, we need to investigate the treasurers and also make a religious doctrine that makes it known to all that stealing is a grave offense to kri'kla. not punishable by death, but we do have a dungeon in the warrens no? 15 days with only candy bugs to eat. btw OP how bad are the stomach aches? like irritating, or debilitating?

Has cooking been invented yet? Try cooking the bugs, maybe they'll be edible then.

Mines: D-keep it up we will have steel.

Capital: E: search for the candy-beetle queen and search for the thier.

by Kri'kla we will have sugar bugs that can be rendered down into syrup.

Who wants a new guardsman quest? http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/19817308/ old one.

>>19826939
We have fire, so yes we can throw things into a pot of boiling water/roast marshmallows.

>>19826907
We donot have dungeons, but we could always outcast them to live in the wild for a couple days. The stomach aches are moderately painful, but they don't disable people..

>>19826984

yea sure

>>19826992

we should try cooking the bugs then

>>19826992
Order one guy to experiment with the bugs then. Maybe we should have a guy dedicated to stuff like this, like a shaman or medicine man.

>>19827034

Agreed, we promote a lizard to medicine man and have him dedicate his life to candy bugs and their many uses

he will be the george washington carver of candy bugs

>>19826984

agreement

>30 minutes pass

Dragontail Mines:
[D]
The smiths are determined to replicated the Uutlans strong swords, and they feel as though they are getting close. They start experimenting with the cooling/heating process...

Seat of Kri'kla:
[E]
The high priest declares open season on the candy beetles, and offers a reward for anyone that captures the queen candy beetle. The search takes a long time but they finally find what looks like the queen ontop the wall. It is a large bug, about the size of a lizardmans fist, and seems to be birthing the beetles at a near constant rate, as if this is the birthing season for them. They put the queen in the candy beetle chamber with the rest of the insects.

The beetle problem should stop now.

[E1]
The high priest creates a set of religious laws that Kri'kla forbids, one of them specifically is stealing. The punishment for stealing is ten days exile from the settlements.

The thievery still persists however, as ten gold is stolen from the treasury.

A specially gifted lizardman by the name of Cuaqboq is promoted to medicine man. He is ordered to find a way to make the candy beetles edible. He starts by boiling one of them, he feeds the boiled beetle to a test subject, the patient becomes sick nonetheless. He then roasts it, same results. In the end he takes a sharp knife and cuts open one of the beetles, he finds a large sack full of liquid, when he opens it up he sees that it's full of a strong smelling black liquid, which he assumes to be the poison. He removes it and feeds the beetle to another test subject, the patient doesn't get sick, and infact asks for another one...
With the Queen producing new bettles constantly and the medicine man removing the poison sacks the candy beetles have become a staple of the lizardman diet.

you guys now that we have the beetles, we have to make sure we throw in veggies every now and again. i dont want them to all die out and us have to live off of just vegetables rather than a constant supply of food, that is not dependent upon weather.

B: lets extend our farming operation, we'll just feed the beetle queen and her progeny any food waste we have, also look into finding different uses for the beetles. That poison for instance, maybe we can use that on enemies.

Dragontail Mines:
[D]
The smiths have discovered that metal hardens when repeatedly heated and cooled. The blacksmiths order big vats of water for their smithys, but their fires seem to not burn hot enough...

Seat of Kri'kla:
[B]
In order to stabalize their food storages the farmers destroy the ravaged farm and start creating one just outside the outer wall of the town, without any definite space restrictions the farmers create a giant field in which they plant their crops.

[A1]
Anaxes, while undercover, investigates all three of the treasurers burrows, but he can't find any evidence of them stealing the money. He brings each of them in for questioning, and even while under severe pressure they donot admit anything. The public knows that the treasurers are being investigated. The stealing has stopped for now.

The outer wall has fully soldified, it's about half as tall as the inner wall.

The storm is here! Lizardmen evacuate to the warrens and the dragontail miners stay inside their mountain-side dwellings. There are some minor cases of leaking in the warrens, watering entering the burrows and leaking down into the subterannean tunnels. Productivity has slowed down to a near halt. The environment has become quite cold, all that is keeping the lizardmen from freezing is the heating system. The miners are having a much tougher time, they are lighting small fires in their homes to warm themselves, but it's not looking too good for them.

agreed agreed, make the farm big big big
and cuaqboq will be our george washington carver. if the poison is an irritant (clearly is) it can be used to burn the flesh of our foes - not quite like acid but very unpleasantly. it will need to be purified or distilled in some way though, maybe if boiled the chemicals in it will refine...

might have the oppisite effect. maybe we should try fermenting the poison. See waht happens. I'm particularly interested in coating arrows with it. If oit causees tummy aches what will it do to open wounds?

>>19827392
>>19827388

the storm will only last a few days tops. i would have the minors dig and bury themselves in dirt (not their heads) during the night and huddle together of course and pray to kri'kla for the best, once the storm is over they should proceed with the technology until we have discovered steel.
in fact i motion that we have the priestess pray to kri'kla to deliver the miners from harm, and you roll for it. if the roll is dim then nothing happens i guess, but if it is good.. i guess the rain lets up on them? idk u the dm

in the warrens we hold tight until the storm us over, when it is we begin training our warriors in the art of combat

as for the thieves - we do what anyone would do. turn the society against thieves. if you know who the thief is, come forward and you will be rewarded with a day off from work, and with some extra food. im debating have us enforce a universal punishment until the thief comes forward. we should also move the gold to be in the chambers of the high priest, and under the watchful eye of the most trusted guard.

>>19827392
E1.
B. we can't let them die from some cold, that would be bad.
B. We need a way of fixing those leaks

>>19827418

we should train our troops first, before building better gates. but i agree, iron gates would prove useful. i also suggest we eventually put a palisade around the farm, we do not want that being destroyed you know. once we find a second queen or a third (im sure the one we have has given birth to a few more) we build one or two extra beetle pits. we want to be safe in case our farms fail to function for some reason.

OP how long will the storm last? if it is only a few days they will all live. if it is a long long storm we must improve both settlements to withstand it

Do Not single out the visitors, if were investigating large groups of people anyways investigate everyone no sense in building animosity.

>>19827492

agreed, we do not want the visitors to leave or to fight us. we investigate everyone and we offer a reward for the name of the thief.

The lizardmen dig out some old furs they had laying around, they stick them to the walls and lay them over the floors to insolate themselves.

Seat of Kri'kla:

The workers scramble to find the source of the leak, after many days of searching they eventually find that it isn't coming from within the warrens. They investigate the houses, they find that water is leaking through the windows and the doors. They create new doors that fit more tightly against the floor/walls. Next they board the windows so that the rain doesn't pour through. Finally the warrens are dry once more.

[D1]
The high priests aimed to investigate the visitors, but decided to include everyone as to not single them out. They went through the investigations quickly, leaving the visitors for last. After a thurough questioning with all the visitors they end up with two leads.

One of them named Xui, Xui showed signs of nervousness and anxiety, he may be the thief.

Zilaxu, when questioned, told the priests that a lizardman named Elaxur is the thief, he is also among the visitors.

for the thiefs, focus on the last two, Xui is not likely to be the thief - if they stole, and stole more than once, then they would be confident. Stealing even after a religious law is passed is way pallsier than a shallow investigation with tons of other leads. Definitely not Xui.

In the mines, I guess they should continue to experiment with fires - it will keep them warm and help us grow closer to the steel we so desperately seek.

In the warrens, dig out a barracks. I would like for us to begin training our soldiers, and an underground barracks is most safe.

>>19827666
A 3 month long storm...

B

D

Necessity is the mother of invention and we need our lizard men to get thinking on something to help with weather like this

>>19827684

how we gon scavenge if we die outside?

thank kri'kla we were able to start farming these beetles - THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE FARM BEETLES. FOR THIS SITUATION.
statistically, the queen we found will have laid an egg by now that is also a queen, this queen should be given her own chamber to reproduce so that we have even more beetles

>>19827692

I agree, in the mines they should be doing fire science and trying to make it as hot as possible, it will keep them heated during the storm and is exactly what we need.

I also like the idea of a proper barracks, and training our troops while we have all of this free time.

>>19827711
agreed, once we get more queens we'll begin giving them thier own chambers so that we can farm them. Beetles are scavengers so they'll eat anything, in the worst food shortages we could actually feed them excrament and garbage.

in the menatime though I think its best we feed them farm byproducts.along with that we should work onb making beetle jerky or some manner of beetle related product to sell to the humans.

>>19827739
Or use the unprocessed ones for trolling diplomats by claiming they are a delicacy

>>19827739

well actually, if the queen is a delicacy just because she doesnt cause a stomach ache we could just show the humans how to remove the poison sacs from the beetles and they will definitely appreciate that.

Send coal to the mines as well for the hotter fires and meanwhile let them build a heating system similar to the city's, should work fast because they know the tech by now.

>>19827756
Idea, trade information, how to make coal for how to make edible candy bugs.

>>19827756

Better just trade them the non-poisonous gifts for more coal! Never tell them, how we depoison the beetles.

>>19827756
Or you know, not tell them how and just sell them the finished product.

>>19827739

I think this should begin now, idunno how much food we have from the farms yaknow? plus the storm will probably kill our crops if it's 3 months long. so if anyone makes a grumpy, we feed it to the beetles. and any waste from the food we eat is thrown to the beetles.

>Trying to apply real world science to beetles that taste like candy.

God damnit people...

>>19827777
>>19827773

this. when the storm abates, we give them non poisoned candy beetles, say we give them a dozen - which is absolutely nothing to us, if the beetle reproduces half the rate of an ant queen, then we still get hundreds a day - to them that is a dozen of a very rare treat. yes yes yes yes.

welcome my friends, to the monopoly of a market. WE ARE THE EMPERORS OF THE INSECT TRADE. speaking of which, has cuaqboq made any recent discoveries? like beetle butter, or beetle scale polish?

>>19827757
this together with trading beetles <-> coal should bring us steel and warm, cozy houses for the miners.

Anybody remember the hallucinogenic toads from the last thread? Maybe we should let Cuaqboq have a look at them.

Dragontail Mines:
[B]
The fur blankets and insolation was nice, but the lizardmen were still shivering. They experimented with small fires but they didn't give off enough heat. Using basic logic, bigger fire, more heat. The workers carried a bunch of pre-dried mortar bricks up to the cliff dwellings, hastily, as to not freeze to death. Then they gathered some wood from the stock piles. They stacke the bricks into the shape of a square in each room, they added wood and fire, and thus created fire pits. The fires were strong and warm, but didn't risk the safety of the lizardmen.

Seat of Kri'kla:
[B]
The workers, in anticipation of more queen beetles, sculpted out more beetle rooms where the beetles could skitter about in peace. They were fed regulary produce, they seemed to consume strawberries especially ferociously. But the food in the granary probably wouldn't last the rest of the storm, and they might start starving to death.

The beetles and the lizardmen had a symbiotic relationship, the beetles gave the lizards nourishment, and the lizards fed the beetles moldy produce, which they didn't seem to mind.

[C1]
The high priest interrogated Zilaxu, despite his constant claims of being innocent. "You were quick to accuse Elaxur, weren't you?" Pahualaxa commented.
"What are you implying? You surely don't think I'M the one who stole that gold." He said, a hint of anxiety could be heard in his voice.
"I'm not so sure.."
The high priest asked him many questions, but no evidence could be found. One interesting fact was that around the time the gold was stolen on both occasions Zilaxu was reported to be working the farm by several other lizards...

Loud bellow could be heard in the clouds this morning, it continued for three minutes before stopping. Noone knows what made the sound...

Maybe it would only subjugate us, which is marginally better than dead.

Holy fuck guys, these are getting long, like I can't even post the updated stats in single posts anymore...Suggestions?

Logically the culprit has to be Elaxur. Zilaxu has an alibi and there is no evidence implicating him. The thief is clearly someone very very confident and so it could not possibly be Xui, could it? If Xui was brave enough to steal not once but twice, how would he crack so very easily under the initial investigation. Elaxur for sure.

>>19827939

idunno I think that's mostly because we have alot going on now? you should copy paste most of this anyhow. not much updating happens and only one thing ever gets updated at a time as far as stats go...

So we work on tech using the new fire in the mines
in the warrens we dig out a barracks for shits sake

Try to only post changes and only dump the whole informatiom package when it's needed or if we request it.
Also, general actions (scavenge, research, upgrades, etc) you could just put in once in the opening post. Those change at all and if anything specific needs decisions, you add those separately anyway.

Or you could work with images. As in, just write it on a white page. That way you can easily mark new or updated stuff too by adding colors.

From my perspective, the first option would be what I'd go for. Right now I read your result and event posts and only skim over the big information dump. I feel like most other players do the same, because it's mostly the same information as last time.

>Let's make a ventilation system regardless of it being blatantly unnecessary

We're actually not in too bad of shape here you guys, we're kind of in the shitter with the storm and the thieves and stuff, but in less of a shitter than usual I guess. If our luck stays at this level of shitty, we might just be able to make it...

Wow guys. Just wow.

Wow.

I rolled my trust d20 to see if the lizardmen successfully created steel. I set the minimum roll as 20, seeing as how theres no coal around here to get the fires hot enough. And guess what I rolled. A fucking 20.

>Also about ventilation.
>I'd say it'd only be necessary if we had doors to the dwellings that trapped the smoke it, but it's an open entrance...

FOK YA FUCK YES AKJFLDKS YISS
We have invented a way to make steal without coals and without bellows. We are the masters of all steel ever. We are brilliant. This is a knowledge that we can share with the dwarves for much in return. They'd be our life allies if we could teach them what will from now on be referred to as 'Kri'kla's Secret: The reptilian method to steel without coal, or bellows'

hell. yes.
>>19828155

>>19828155

Took us long enough. Awesome. Definitely think we should get to work making ourselves a steel arsenal.

>>19828155

so what now?

>>19828155

We just out teched the Humans! We can now sell them steel and non-stomach-ache beetles. We should look to underprice the Dorfs who have been selling them steel weapons. This will make humans like us more. Try to sign a non-aggression pact, looking to sign a military alliance.

>>19828252

Hey Fen.
Yeah, we can make steel and humans are poopsy now. We could teach the humans our ways and make them military allies... or we could use our superiority to monopolize the steel and insect trades so that we have lots of gold, but what would we do with gold? perhaps it is best that we simply become military allies with the humans.

>>19828279

Hi Anon.
Was pretty busy today didnt get home till 7pm. Good to see OP hasn't gotten bored and decided to kill us off yet.

OP it's been like an hour, did we make teh barrack and i guess you already told us we made steel. Was Elaxur the thief?

>>19828300

No clue what OP is in the middle of, but the anticipation is killing me. With this game we always seem to be right on the edge of death yaknow?

I cannot fucking believe that we found a secret way to make steel without bellows or coal. I guess there's some sort combustable substance in that area that doesn't exist in our universe.

Lets make a barracks in the seat of kri'kla

and lets get some sort of textiles research going on in those mines.

>>19828333

dude we oughta make our next move in the mines be to make the smithy twice its size, and then start banging out tons of steel shit.

>>19828333

What use might we have for textiles?

The smiths had wanted to use coal to fuel the forge, but with this storm there was no way the shipment would arrive. They huddled around one of the pit fires and told each other stories. But one lizard by name of Zzalak noticed something in the fire. The wood, the black charred pieces of wood, normally this wouldn't mean anything, but it reminded him of something...The coal. He immediatly got up and searched for a metal container, eventually he found one. He put some wood in it and set it in the hot fire. The others were confused, but watched carefully. What eventually became of the wood was amazing, it had turned into a coal like substance, they named it charcoal. Despite the raging storms Zzalak marched to the forge and fueled the fire with the charcoal, he blew into the fire, his superior lizard lungs allowing for huge quantities of air to be blown. He took a piece of iron and heated it up in the raging fire, he pounded it into the shape of a sword, cooling it after a few hits. He repeated this process for many hours, and eventually it was finished. He raised the sword into the air and just as he did lightning struck the ground around him, as if Kri'kla was applauding the blacksmith. And once again the deep bellows could be heard.

Seat of Kri'kla:
[B]
Anaxes had requested that the high priest create a military and allow him to train the soldiers within it, but Pahualaxa knew that the settlements couldn't afford any delegations to a military, so he refused. But, because the high priest understood the importance of weapon training he commisioned the workers to create a subterannean barracks with wooden poles to practice on and with. The workers finished in a matter of days, the result was a thirty foot by thirty foot chamber with a tall ceilling, there were wooden dummies and arrow targets filled with compact dried grass.

[B1]
When interrogated Elaxur shows no real concern, infact he seems confident that he's not the culprit, and converses back and forth logically with Pahualaxa. When asked where he was on the days the gold were stolen he says he was with Zilaxu, and to ask him yourself...

I suggest we prosecute Zilaxu and Elaxur. If Zilaxu was the one who sold out Elaxur, but Elaxur says he was with Zilaxu there is a huge conflict. So the two are either in league or it's one of them because the stories just don't match up.

In the warrens, we begin training our warriors.

In the mines, I would suggest we build a larger smithy so that we might produce weapons at a higher rate but we will have to wait until the storm is over. For now we should focus on producing steel armaments.

When does the population grow? I thought we have a bonus on growing? We sure could need some more lizards...

>>19828469

this. one of our bonuses was population growth... are we all impotent or something?

>>19828469

At the end of hibernation we gain 1/4 of total population. But i think if the visitors decide to stay or some of them mate with population we might get a few more eggs.

>>19828490

aw daggy, we're asexual yaw

B1+C1
B - make a bigger smithy
E - train

>>19828435
I'm actually amazed nobody else thought of that. It's just so... simple.

B1: Zelaxu might be more suspicious at first glance, what with him going "IT WAS DAT GUY LOL", but Elaxur saying he was with Zelaxu just puts me off. You'd think there's some rivalry between the two if one is so eager to sell the other one out, so saying he was with him... I dunno. Go after him.

C: Let's see what else we can shape that steel into!

D: While there still isn't that much to do with the storm raging on, have our people cycle through a work and a training in the barracks shift, to give everyone some better fighting capbilities.

>>19828547
>write D
>mean E
I is a derp.

D1: prosecute the smug little fucks with the alibis. We'll inprison them and send them with the rest of the visitors when they leave.

Mines:C begin making fule platemail.
Seat of Kri'Kla: D Textiles, cloth. it has a lot of uses, cloth layers over armor can blunt the force of an axe or macehead and make killing the person inside that much more difficult. Remember those enormous shoulderpads that samurai use? Those were to protect from arrows. These are just the military uses they could do all sorts of things for our enconomy.

also we should find a use for candy beetle poison.

Cat and mouse
Have we even attempted to search their belongings? Its 40 gold coins, the visitors have just come from the home slave lands and shouldnt have any gold on them anyway
caves
D - improve tools from Iron to Steel
seat
D - try to figure textiles out - we have crazy war tech yet our priests (head of state) still wear animal pelts.

>You guy's are writing D to improve weapons, should be C.

OP now that we have a barracks im going to assume that our people just passively train and become better fighters.

In the mines we should figure out plate mail. no one seems to have that yet (dorfs might)

as for the capitol, fen and trot seem dead set on textiles and i mean hell, why the fuck not we have nothing better to do while we're underground...

If Zilaxu and Elaxur have such contradictory tales it must be one of them - or both. so go straight up insquisitor on their asses. im seriously fed up with this now, i want this shit solved. make em eat candy beetle sacs until they vomit or something.

speaking of which, have cuaqboq experiment with the sacs to develop a poison or irritant that we can use in battle. this insect symbiosis is one of the best things we've happened upon yet.

>>19828765

nah not weapons op tools. They are listed in tech as: Iron axe&hammer&shovel. Lets upgrade to steel axe, hammer and shovel.

Dragontail Mines:
[C]
Despite the raging storm Zzalak works the forge, risking his life. He finds that to make steel armaments requires both time and effort, and only being able to stay outside for an hour at a time has severely limited his productivity. But he persisted, and after ten days he managed to create fifteen steel swords.

Seat of Kri'kla:
[E]
The lizardmen focus their efforts on training for battle, Anaxes helps train them. They take breaks, and when they do they work the warrens.

[D1]
The high priest interrogates both Zilaxu and Elaxur more intensely. Zilaxu seems to wane under the pressure, but Elaxur is confident as ever. The priest tells the two of them that each other have contradicting stories. Each claims that the other lies.

Zilaxu claims that Elaxur is the thief because he offered him a share of the loot if he provided him with an alibi, Zilaxu said he accepted, but only so he wouldn't be killed.
When asked where he might've put the money Zilaxu says he doesn't know...The two of them are kept in seperate dwellings, kept watch by guards until further notice.

The workers search Zilaxu's and Elaxur's dwellings, they can't find any gold.

The next day in mid afternoon thirty gold is missing, but both Zilaxu and Elaxure are still in their containment cells.

Another bellow is heard from the skies, this time it lasts for over an hour.

Dragontail Mines:

The smithy's get to work replacing the iron tools with steel ones. In edition they invent the pickaxe, hammers were anything but efficient, and by applying the same logic behind a sword they created pickaxes.

Seat of Kri'kla:
[D]
The high priest orders Cuaqboq to study the candy bugs poison sacks, he agrees to this but is confused as to the reasons. He finds that the black liquid is an irritant of some kind, and while it cannot be used to irritate bare skin, it can irritate the soft inner organs of a persons body. Cuaqboq supposed that if you could get the poison into the bloodstream it would cause severe pain. No further studies are made.

[E1]
Xui is taken in to interrogate, he seems just as anxious as before, when told about Elaxur and Zilaxu he seems to be surprised, and he is even more surprised when the high priest accuses him of stealing the gold from a few days ago, he denies this adamantly.

How long does it take a lizard from the mines to the city?

What do you guys think, perhaps improving the the communication would be interesting? Or building a street? Not now, because of the street, but in general.

>>19829381
5 - 10 Days.

we should send a priest to the mines as well

rolled 19 = 19

E!: find the weak link in the group. get a knife, get some candy bug poison sacs. Coat the knife with fluid from the sac. Find the person from the alibi duo who's the least confident under pressure and use the candy bug venom on him.

Mines: B lets get some doors up in this bitch.

Capital: Textiles, we will have cloth! oh yes!

>>19829334
D1 Elaxur and Zilaxu

E search for the missing gold or make some doors

D whatever our people can come up with

the priests could come up with a story about the thunder beeing gods that are angry about the thiefs! might work better and nicer than venom

Will we put the whole civ in hibernation at the capital or leave the miners at the mines? Might be safer just at the city, right?

Dragontail Mines:
[B]
With the storm in full swing rain is starting to pour into the Lizardmens cliffside dwelling due to their lack of doors. They get to work creating doors and after a few days of dangerous and laborous work they finish. The doors preserve heat much better but they present another problem, the smoke from pit fires is toxic and will kill the lizardmen unless they keep the door open, so in the end the doors don't do much good.

Seat of Kri'kla:
[D]
Farmers complain to constantly about having to use their hands while tending to the fields, when they could have some sort of tool. To accomadate them the smiths created the hoe, a tool used to tend fields, and more specifically plant seeds.
The high priest felt that the lizardmens clothes were too primitive and unfit for his citizens, but since the storm prevented any major experiments or exploration to be done there was nothing he could do.

The produce in the granary ran out, all that is left is meat, the beetles will starve soon if we don't do anything.

[E1]
The high priest accuses all three lizardmen as thieves. Elaxur was the original thief, he offered to pay off Zilaxu if he gave him an alibi, he accepted. But when the investigations started Elaxur must've been frightened, so he offered Xui a cut of the profits if he would steal some gold after he was taken into custody, proving his innocence. Zilaxu was frightened to be caught, so he ratted out Elaxur, since he already knew where the gold was stashed he could take it all afterwards. Xui wanted out, but Elaxure threatened his life if he ratted him out. That must've been why he was nervous. And when Elaxur was told about the conflicting alibies he knew that Zilaxu ratted him out. Xui was the one that stole the final bit of gold, noone else would fit into the picture.

Of course all three of them deny this as madness.
"Madness? I'll show you madness." The high priest takes out a knife and a bowl of the candy bug poison, but he is interrupted by the leader of the visitors. "What are you doing, Pahualaxa?!"
"Getting a confession."
"No, these are MY people, let me decide their punishment."
