There was less than a 3 hour period to get in. Even I think that's unforgivingly short.

websim.ai is coming dangerously close to being able to run Gridhood. Maybe I'll live to see the day if I exercise, eat right, and somehow convince the world's governments not to nuke everyone.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

“Too much to do, too much to slither and think about, I shall act first then think upon my actions at a later time.”

Downtime Action: Recruit the most serpentine of forces that reside within Tartarus, utilizing the innate size and strength of Unipent to convince them to follow his lead.

Personal Request: Unipent will send a lettered response of a Request written in Serpentine, that a Forge capable of magical smithing should be made in Tartarus, a Magical Forge capable of magically enchanting equipment as well as utilizing Nigrendine and Alberdine should be built.

Extra Downtime Action: Unipent and his retinue will slither and create an Expedition to the Parables Mountain Ridges to scout the area for information, as well as devouring any Ogres and Daliths he encounters to show superiority over them.

Goal/Bonus1/Bonus2: 4/8/16

Rok'Ator the Great Chief of the Parabes Mountain Ogres himself came to meet you in battle, an Ogre bigger than any other with skin the complexion of stone.

Ot'Ku Bo:
Attribute: STR 4

Roll (3/2/1/0)
Recruitment:
Attribute: INT 1
Bonus: Veteran Scout
Goal/Bonus1/Bonus2: 4/8/16
Roll [2d6]: 4+[10]=14

By rolling around all of Tartarus to gather supplies for his expedition, Roll managed to speak to a great amount of monsters about the Bartoros of the Latze Plains. He at the same time learnt from the Carakk birds that these great horned beasts were highly prideful and territorial, but highly obedient to their leader. Roll learnt of a secret ritual the Bartoros leaders use to challenge each others: a race across the Latze Plains, with the winner obtaining a part of the loser's herd.

Bonus: Veteran Scout
Goal/Bonus1/Bonus2: 4/8/16
Roll [2d6]: 4+[5]=9

Roll discovered a peculiar field of blood coloured grass, called Redsang Grass by the natives of Latze. They chewed it when sick or wounded for its incredible healing properties and unique fragrance, which would definitely interest the alchemists and cooks of Zethe.
He then gathered enough information to know that the rise of Zethe had caused the Bartoros to worry and debate over the future of their herds. They had eventually decided to elect a leader among leaders to unite the tribe, this was a Bartoros named Zagan-Yoof.

Roll will benefit from a +4 bonus when interacting with Bartoros

Bonus: Bone-chilling Aura
Goal/Bonus1/Bonus2: 4/8/16
Roll [5d6]: 4+[20]=24

Roll around some of the minor tribes, working up through the Races and gathering enough support to challenge/meet/talk with their leader.

Speed is agreed, the best way to lead. Monsters after my own engine. I'll show them what Dream Realm racing can show.

You can post, I leave a message saying not to post if I need players to waiy. Player status will be updated eventually, but there were not changes from turn 0 so it's low priority.

The Old Gremlin seems quite please at the news. His yellow luminous eyes twinkling with a wicked glee.

"Yes, yes! This will do nicely, I'm sure the Master will be most pleased when we return." Gnarl says, though Eversor might be able to detect that the Elder Shaman had become strangely pleased at the mention of Harpies. "What are you louts waiting for! Get a move on to the Grove, your wasting his Majesty's light of day!" He barks at his spawn.

Gnarl heads towards the Grove, hoping to find the local leadership to bring into the fold of Zethe. Surely they could be persuaded of the glory of his Master's kingdom, and if not... well it's good that he brought the hulking behemoth of metal known as Eversor with him.

Eversor and his Veteran Undead Soldiers follow the Gremlin elder's lead, the armor's thudding steps leaving frost in his wake.

Duke Gul'Athur

Gul'Athur notes that the other Zethian Lords are already en route to the other adjacent territories. Rather than joining them, Gul'Athur leads his forces to the Parabes Mountain Ridge in order to conduct an expedition to learn about the region.
