Dorin stirred from his stony slumber as a harsh wind blew over his encampment. He raised a great stone hand to shield himself from the stinging sand and stood up, his stone eyes adjusting to the brightness of the day. Around him other constructs kept themselves busy with the various tasks they found enjoyable, tinkering and imbibing magic into whatever they could find though, here in the mana wastes, nothing they made lasted very long. Dorin shook off the remaining sand and rock before making his rounds about the camp, he was king here and his people needed him.

Gather Resources with the idea of increasing your numbers
Dorin thought it best to explore the nearby lake, it was something he had been avoiding for some time, knowing full well the dangerous beasts the residual magic had created on land, let alone in the water. He strode over towards two of the larger constructs and gave his commands, using the runic lines that covered his body to convey his message. His scouts blinked their runes back twice in acknowledgement and set off. Dorin watched them for a few minutes as they lumbered off into the distance, hoping to see them again before the afternoon arrived. As Dorin turned to head deeper into the camp he noticed the scouts had forgotten to take their hammers, he cursed himself for his carelessness.

Dorin knew the scouts would be in dire straights without weaponry, however crude, with a loud roar he summoned the remaining golems. He selected the smallest and therefore fastest of the group and sent him on his way to deliver the weaponry, taking extra tie to emphasize the importance of returning to the camp immediately. Dorin watched with a worried heart as the young golem charged up the sand dune and disappeared over its ridge.

The rune-mage is our source for new golems and technology. He is able to create an apprentice but that will require far more energy than a typical golem. Different golems of varying specifications will require different materials and magic amounts, curently all of our constructs are Sandstone except Dorin who is obsidian.

Dorin turned to the Rune-Mage and requested his council with a bright green flash of his markings, the thin golem and acknowledged and strode over to his king. Dorin asked him if they could expand their numbers in anyway as the recent encounter with desert insects had left them low on population. The Rune-mage shook his rectangular head, the mana crystals around his neck dancing as he did so. He explained that he could only create a small golem with the materials they possessed and even then it would have abilities akin to an ordinary goblin. Dorin was troubled by this news and asked the Rune-Mage to compile a list of resources required for new golems and promised to do his best to meet the requirements. The elderly mage nodded and lumbered off, the glowing markings on his body revealing the slightest hint of enthusiasm.

>>16781

Dorin felt it would be best to get a head start on gathering resources for the Rune-Mage and so set off to harvest various stones and ores from the cliff side adjacent to the camp. As he left he instructed the remaining golem to stay and guard the camp, being sure to include keeping an eye on the Rune-Mage as well, whose frailty was beginning to worry Dorin. After a few minutes Doring arrived at the rock face and began tearing the loose stone apart with his hands, sifting through the piles of debris for anything of value. It took almost an hour of what would have been back breaking labor for any being not made of stone before Dorin managed a sizeable haul and headed back to camp. When he arrived he was pleased to see both the young golem safe and the Rune-mage with a large stone tablet. Setting his armload of stones and ores down he consulted the mage's document.

Dorin poured over the list and was pleased to see they had made some progress in the materials required. He flashed a thank you at the elderly mage and informed him that they would get to gathering resources once the scouting party returned. It wasn't long before Dorin could hear the tell tale grinding of stone that signaled the return of his subjects. As they cleared the sand dune to return to camp , Dorin noticed that they were not unscathed. Each of the golems bore large scratches across the chest and arms, one wielded a hammer that appeared half melted. Panicked Dorin went to attend to his scouts and they informed him of what had happened at the lake. They walked into an ambush of 4 basilisks, made particularly ferocious by exposure to residual magic, They had just barely managed to escape when the beasts realized their stony gaze wouldn't work and changed to a corrosive spit. One of the scouts however had managed to grab something before fleeing, it was the core of a diamond golem. The large gem pulsed with a faint blue light as Dorin held it, while it it did not make up for almost losing his scouts, this core would ensure he could feed his people for months!

Dorin made sure the returning scouts were alright before giving them another set of orders. He instructed them to guard the camp and the Rune-Mage while he and the remaining golems set off to gather some mana rich ore. The two scouts flashed an affirmative and seemed thankful for the comparatively easier job of guarding an old man. Dorin and his two golems set out and once again began eating into the mountain side. Dorin was far stronger than his companions and so made quick work of the rock face, after a few hours they were ready to return to camp, pleased with having struck a vein of mana rich ore.

Dorin was pleased with this haul and decided it would be wise to construct a mana storage unit. He summoned the the Rune-Mage with an earthy bellow and informed of his decision, the mage bowed his head respectfully as he gathered the required materials, taking them to the southern side of the camp. Moments later Dorin felt the intense surge of magical energy that signaled a successful transmutation, taking a moment to inspect the mage's work Dorin stared at the large clear cube seated on it's stone pedestal.

Dorin looked at the Mana storage thoughtfully for a moment before deciding that gathering more material would be his best course of action. Once more he turned to gather his golems and returned to the mountain side. It wasn't long into their foraging that Dorin began to hear the tell-tale noises of combat emanating from the encampment, the distinct sounds of stone scraping stone and rocks smashing flesh.

Dorin turned from the mountain and lumbered as quickly as he could back towards the camp, bellowing for the others to follow. The shifting sands made it difficult for the golems to walk normally and Dorin's haste caused him to stumble and slide across the ever-changing surface. Finally he saw the outskirts of the camp through the biting storm his footsteps had caused. He saw the two guards wrestling with something large and bulbous, as he drew closer he saw that it was an insect scout, it's brown chitin armor shining in the hot sun. The monster snapped at the golems with mandibles that could crush stone but the guards were fortunate enough to dodge the strike. One of the golems raised his hammer high into the air and brought the heavy stone mallet straight onto the creatures skull. A mighty crack was heard as the weapon broke through the armor and buried itself in the soft flesh hidden beneath. The force of the blow was so great that the brittle handle of the hammer snapped clean in two, leaving the head buried in its opponent. The insect let out a chittering screech as it reared before finally falling onto it's back, it's, legs jerkily curling beneath it.

Dorin decided that the threat of the insects was an imminent one and that they needed better technology to defend against the unyielding armored horde. He instructed his warriors to scavenge the corpse for any raw materials and set off to find the Rune-Mage. He found the aging golem pouring mana into their newly Constructed mana storage, the once clear crystal now slowly filling with a swirling blue energy. Sensing his prescience the mage turned to face his king and was dismayed to hear of the battle fought so close to his home. The mage admitted that he had heard nothing for his meditation consumed all of his energy, Dorin pardoned his negligence, understanding that Rune-Mages were not always beholden to the rules of war. Dorin told him that they required a technology lab now, as they were unequipped to deal with any threat greater than the occasional scout. The Mage happily obliged and went to fetch the required materials. When he returned he set them in a neat pile near the Mana storage. A bright flash of blue light blinded Dorin and the felt the surge of energy wash over him once more. When he regained his vision he was pleased to see a great stone dome, easily twice his height, nestled in the sands.

I agree but being in a hostile environment stone hammers and being made out of stone will only go so far. Especially when they break after one kill.
Dorin asked the Rune-Mage if it would be at all possible to upgrade their weaponry, the recent battle with the insect scout had claimed their last hammer. The Rune-Mage nodded pensively and said that it would take some time to conduct the research but he would still be free to attend to other duties as he did so. Dorin nodded and headed out of the lab, glad to be making some progress for the wellbeing of his people.

Golems dont rewuire sleep, but they "eat" proportional to how long they remain active. Ex: I day of activity= 1 unit of food per golem, 2 days of activity= 2 units of food per golem, etc.

So we have 1500 days of activity from a really lucky food roll?

Dorin surveyed his camp for a moment, it was getting dark, but he had stockpiled enough energy to keep his golems running for quite some time. There was much to be done and not many golems to be doing it, they needed weapons to stave off any more insect attacks as much as they needed to be alerted in case of an attack. He pondered for a few minutes before deciding to split his units up, he summoned the tribe and flashed his commands. The two large golems were sent to patrol the perimeter of the camp and the other two set off to make some more stone hammers. The two guards blinked their affirmative before lumbering off while the two smaller set about making the weapons.

Stay still and wait for the patrol to come back
Dorin decided he would stay and wait for the patrol to return, eager to hear nay news they might have. He understood the precariousness of their situation and needed to be sure there was no cause for immediate evacuation. He waited quite some time before he saw the silhouettes of his returning warriors in the moonlight. They flashed him an all clear sign and Dorin would've breathed a sign of relief if he possessed lungs. The scouts informed him that they had located the tunnel the insect used to enter their camp and that they had sealed the entrance with sand and rock. Dorin knew this would not hold the monsters back very long, especially if they made a concerted effort, but at least it bought them some degree of time.

>Let's set guards at the tunnel and equip everyone with hammers
The existence of the tunnel so close to his home disturbed Dorin and he sent the guards back out to guard the entrance for the night, instructing them to take a hammer each and raise an alarm if anything happened. The guards nodded in agreement as they accepted the heavy cudgels and lumbered off, their massive feet digging great holes in the sands. Dorin decided it would be best if everyone was equipped with a weapon for the time being and so busied himself with equipping all of his subjects, the Rune-mage included.

Dorin contemplated what could be done about the tunnel instead of just guarding it. He thought of sending the smaller golems back tot he cliffside to gather more materials when an idea struck him. Perhaps he could turn the tunnel into a mine? It would be dangerous certainly, the insects already having access to it, but he found it hard to argue to ignore the opportunity he was presented with. Dorin gathered the juvenile golem and together they set off towards the tunnel. As they arrived they saw the entrance guarded by the large golems, the entrance was covered in sand and stone that the guards had placed over it. Dorin examined the fortifications, it would take some time for the 4 of them to clear the entrance again.

Wait are there bugs inside of the tunnel?
>>20353
The constructs are not sure, however it can be assumed that the tunnel is part of a larger network, of which probably contains insects
>>20353
Also i never answered your previous question. The golems curently do not know how to create a pickaxe, researching mining would result in the ability to create basic equipment. Also remember that the golems are strong enough to tear stone walls to pieces when they gather.
>>20353
This
>>20353
C) Clear the entrance and use the cleared stone to make a bottleneck/deadfall incase of bugs
Having a foothold in the tunnel system seems like it'll actually make the colony safer since we would have advanced warning of attack.
>>20377
The risk is too high, maybe the tunnel is an actual entrance to a colony or something, it would be better to research mining so we can get more resources peer action, even if it just increases it a little, when our numbers are good enough, then we can explore the tunnel, for now I would like to get mining equipment instead of punching the ground with bare fists, cuz that looks silly
>>20391
>make a bottleneck/deadfall incase of bugs
I doubt we have the technology for that, also bugs are pretty strong and could end up having a big numerical superiority
Dorin voiced his ideas to the golems and while they conceded the resources would be valuable they simply did not have the strength to keep the insects at bay should they decide to attack. Dorin was forced to agree and thanked his subjects for their council, turning to depart he instructed the guards to remain at their post until morning. The guards blinked affirmatives and returned to their posts.

Having those two always guard the tunnel seems like a waste of potential, we might benefit in finding a way to completely seal the entrance so we dont have to always keep an eye on the thing.

Alright guys I'll be back later on, I will post on the twitter if I make a new thread or when I return to this one. Thanks for being a part of my story, you guys have a great day!
>>20569
Great, see you later op will bump every hour
>>20560
Once we learn how to make fire we can probably smoke them out.
>>20625
Then we'd have bugs all over our lands
>>20703
Ah shit you're right. We gotta get rid of them or move though. Before they become too much of a problem.
>>20721
>inb4 "Waste all tech and resources on magic insecticide"
>>20743
I'm just saying that insects will quickly overrun golems. We could sell magic insecticide for a hefty profit though.
>>20770
Yeah I know, but seems that we either need to start growing at ludicrouse speed or else move away from the possible hive
>>20864
Which is what I'm saying. We might be able to make a base inside the Cliffside because golems are by definition not fast at population growth
>>20947
We could also head southwest or northeast along the road in search of settlements
>>20996
There are basilisks near the lake which are going to be a pain and I don't think moving away from the defensive protection of the cliff will be a good idea. Unless the insects are in there which I doubt. I hope saurn updates the map with a picture of where the tunnel is so we can have a better idea of where the bugs are.
It seems Like our stone weapons and armor will be done be the afternoon of the next day so we should research mining after that and go crazy with resource gathering so we can find the upgrade that moves our dome of technology around.
>>21069
This sounds good to me, although don't plan too far ahead, saurn might throw a curveball
>>21148
I'm only planning 4 turns ahead, but if Saurn throws a curveball that'll be something we just have to adapt to. Besides, the main purpose for talking about it is for others to criticize it.
>>21226
We should try finding weaknesses for the basilisks and the bugs(maybe silver since they are magical creatures) or we could make a more defensible base with a mine in it so we wouldn't have worry much about exterior threats
>>21226
Im up with the idea of investing more into tech and resource gathering, all creating more defensive structures would be nice, since numbers are limited and growing is a slow process we should play defensely for a while.
>>21329
Bugs are actually anti magic, refer to OP pic, so fire is probably going to be more effective. Basilisks are gonna probably be extremely vulnerable to us once we get soMething that resists their acid though. Definitely need a wall #trump it's gonna be yuge
>>21337
I agree playing defensively. That might change once we get a better assortment of golems. But until then we need to stick our feet in the dirt and fortify ourselves.
Another bump
I'll be ready to qm in about 15-20 minutes, great job keeping the thread up!

Dorin wracked his great stony head for a solutions to his myriad of problems. There was no way to permanently seal the tunnel entrance, even if he could the insects would simply burrow around it, The lake seemed to hold valuable treasures, but the reported basilisks would tear his tribe to pieces. He gazed out of the dark desert, illuminated by the light of the moon he could make out patches of mana rich ore deposits jutting from the sand, traps for the many predator that stalked this desolate locale. As he panned the horizon his eyes came to to settle on the cliffside that backed his village and an idea sprang into his mind. The cliffs were well over 100 feet tall and the sheer face was almost impossible to scale without some level of specialization. He wondered if he could move his village into the protection of the cliff, whether high or low the cliff would make an excellent vanguard against even an insect horde. They also needed materials, and lots of them, their numbers needed to expand, they required better technology, what better place to get these from the cliffs as they had been? Dorin was pleased with himself he would kill 2 birds with one great stone. He flashed for his companion to follow and headed back into the camp, head held high.

>>24352
You have no altar constructed yet, just a tech lab and a mana storage. remember the more raw materials you refine the more chances you have of unlocking/discovering new golems and upgrades
>>24249
buh yeah A

Can we move our pre-existing structures to a new location
>is so then A
Dorin contemplated resting for the night and conserving energy, but he knew the insects never slept, and every moment he sat idle his people were in danger. They arrived at the encampment a short while later and he set off to consult the Rune-Mage, he needed to know the logistics of his plans. The Rune-Mage seemed thrilled with the idea of a more secure fortification but warned Dorin that they were not miners and they were not drwarves, digging tunnels and underground fortresses was not a specialty they currently possessed. Dorin was forced to agree but saw no harm in gathering more materials than usually, The elderly mage blinked brightly in agreement. Dorin bade the Rune-Mage farewell and gathered his remaining 2 golems, instructing them to gather as much as they could from the cliffside for the rest of the night.

This! The mage can't die!
He thought it would be best to remain behind and guard the camp. He detested not working at peak efficiency and he knew he could gather much more than the sandstone golems, but the Rune-Mage was a vital part to their survival more so than even Dorin. He mustn't be allowed to fall. So Dorin patrolled through the empty passages between the outcroppings of stone that they slept beneath, crude dwelling to be sure, but the stinging wind and whipping sand were only minor annoyances to a stone golem, it was the rain that he worried about. He had almost completed his third round when a strange sound came to his hears. He focused his hearing, paranoid that it might be something dangerous. It sounded like...laughter? Dorin was perplexed and followed the sound, it was coming from behind their resource pile!

You don't know what it is so we should be careful. But don't just stand there either, if not, get armed or try to see what it is at a distance.

We're an obsidian golem, we can handle this without reinforcements. I vote A. Investigate

Spooked but curious, investigate
ive come to the realization that I've never specified how large the golems actually are.
Sandsrtone- 12-15 feet tall
Limestone-17-20 feet tall, very slender
Mountain- 750-1,000 feet tall
Granite-25-30 feet tall, very burly
Dorin- 24 feet tall, most humanoid looking

well shit, if we are a 24 foot tall obsidian golem, yeah go fucking hulk mode.

Dorin thought of calling reinforcements but decided whatever was small enough to hide behind the resource pile, and produce such a high pitched laughter, would surely be something he could handle. He flashed his runes an angry red color as he hastened towards the pile. As he neared the laughter grew fainter until stopping altogether as his thundering footsteps came to a halt. He peered over the edge of the mound expecting some sort of horrificly mutated animal, what he saw instead was a group of 10-15 goblins, loaded to the brim with varying amounts stolen materials.

One of their aspects is that they don't fear anything.

seconding, with intimidation
>>24934
I guess this is our best bet. If we try to squash all 15 of them they'll start running and a few of them will probably get away. But maybe they'll start running anyways, in which case we should just kill/imprison as many as possible.
I think I'll vote for diplomacy for now. We can always escalate if that doesn't work. Tell them to stand still and to drop their loot/weapons, or else. Although now I'm curious if we can even communicate with them in any meaningful way. Hmm
