Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, I got started with writing online on the Spore forums. Man, those were the days. We're talking like 12 years ago 2010-ish!

I've been here on and off for almost as long, and have GM'd a bunch of different things to varying success.

Word of my splendor:

Why do different demigods have different ratios?
@Kho

I got 3 might from 4500 worshipers which isn't the same ratio that the other demigods got.

I'm slightly disappointed that you all don't seem to have posted in a while. Have you lost interest and decided to leave this RP?

Hopefully that's not the case, and if so I'd appreciate it if you would come by to say that you're still here. If I don't see a rekindling of posting soon, I'm afraid that I'll have to have some bad fate befall your characters to explain their absence from the story.
Upon the arrival of Octavius, the Dungeon Keeper listened eagerly to the elaborated report. Or at least he began listening eagerly, but quickly his attention began to turn back to the battle raging in the village. He gave a quick response, "This information will prove valuable. We will wait a while and see what grows of the seeds of strife that you planted; you have done well. I will have to give you some sort of reward for this, but first, let us pay a visit to the newest lands of my domain."

The Keeper waved a hand, and the room began to fade away. A few moments later, another fiery explosion appeared in the town square. This one came with no meteor or other form of warning; it was just a byproduct of powerful magic that heralded the warlock's arrival. When the dust settled and the flames vanished, the figures of the Master and his company were visible.

Taking a moment to observe the scene and take in all the carnage, he rubbed his palms together and absolutely radiated some sort of sick delight. The cobblestones of the square had been sent flying by the meteor and had knocked down several nearby buildings in conjunction with the fire and blastwave. As in for the defenders that had rallied in the square, most of them were simply gone. Massive explosions didn't leave much behind, though those on the outskirts of the plaza were only crisped as compared to obliterated. A few spatters of blood and burned limbs littered the scene. But for all of that destruction, it seemed like his own minions had managed to survive!

The Master raised his staff and rifts began to appear on the blackened ground. From those portals burst out imps, the little red devils rushing to secure the are and look for loot. Many carried manacles and chains freshly forged from the materials gathered from the last raid; since most of the town's civilians had cowered in their homes, there were plenty of prisoners to take. Notably the veritable horde of little demons was even larger than before. Having nothing better to do with his time, the Keeper had been summoning additional imps using the sacrificial victims he had claimed from amongst the last village's enslaved population. Still, as the little imps surged out and swept through the place he couldn't help but notice how pathetic they were. The imps had their purpose, but they were weak and all looked down upon the miserable things. He would soon need to see about getting some more fearsome and formidable creatures to serve as his grunts.

Casually waiting until the last remnants of resistance were suppressed and all of his champions eventually found their way to the plaza, he addressed his horde.

"Well, this could have certainly gone more smoothly, but in the end it turned out well enough I suppose...of course, without Shukra's guidance the orcs let some fleeing peasants escape. I will need a volunteer or two to hunt them down before they reach another settlement, so that they cannot draw unwanted attention to us. There is also the matter of who will govern this trashpile of a holdfast. And the matter of what to do with those who were too cowardly or incapable of taking charge this battle. Anybody care to chime in?"

It was then that the Keeper sensed something strange. It was certainly powerful and malevolent, but it wasn't his. This being wasn't one of his champions...he turned to look for the source and saw Cold Stare. "Ah, a wraith of some sort! Well, it would seem that you've helped with the taking of this town and avoided conflict with my other followers, or else I would have sensed you earlier. Well, you've stumbled right into the greatest army of darkness that this world has seen! Tell me, would you care to join our band of reapers and conquerors?"
An Announcement: Of Timeskips and Turns No. 2


I've been approached by a few players who have shown a preference for there being two parts made up of 80 years each to the timeskip, meaning there will be an in-between bit where players can respond to whatever has happened in the first 80 years before we do the second 80 years.

We'll be doing it that way.

How will this affect the turn advancement?
@Athinar

Way to crack his knuckles, I guess.
I have no problem wrapping up. Also is it safe to say that the invasion of the town was pretty much a complete failure? I mean we didn't exactly do a good job of not killing lots of things.


There was a fair deal of destruction (Ever so slightly due to the Master using a meteor to blow up the whole town square...) but the civilians' houses are probably mostly intact and since most of the people would have been inside their homes at night, there's probably plenty of slaves to be had. So there's still something worth ruling.

Since we didn't have any Shukra post there's no telling how the orcs did with keeping anybody from escaping and dealing with the nearby farms. I'll just say that without Shukra's active leadership they became a bit unruly and undisciplined, meaning they didn't do their job perfectly.

So hmmm, would the Master see this as a complete failure? Should the Dungeon Keeper punish the hell out of Athinar for this mess? Call our toll-free number and leave your vote today!
@Kho

So this update is happening after both timeskips and we have plenty of time? I ask because I'm not sure how many worshipers Ialu would have dueing the timeskips; it depends on how some things go.

How long is the intermission between the two skips going to go on for, anyways?
Anybody else have thoughts about whether we're ready to start wrapping up the town battle, by the way?

If nobody speaks up I'll do it tomorrow.

@CycloneAlthough, be careful for what you ask for, and what you promise in return. The transaction might go smoothly, and you might get more than what you bargained for.


Pfft. He doesn't care! The Keeper is some kind of idiotic, sociopathic guy that enjoys blowing up stuff when bored and has terrible long term planning. He's also rather awful at leading and creating order.

I figured the RP would be more fun under this sort of boss
