[X] Explore: Look around your world and see if any new things have popped up, or if there is something else interesting. ( Will result in a dice roll.)



Hmm, this warrior would do well as a hero for her people, but she needed, more. One simple adventure would not be a good start to what you had here, especially if your friends, or worse, that asshole came around to see how you were doing. No, you needed something exciting.

Oh, you knew just how to do that. First, she would need a ally to help her on her travels. Maybe, no not another warrior that would steal part of the shone. Someone, with different skills. Someone steadfast and loyal. He, would be...

A sea horse rancher! Yes, he would be a sea horse rancher who would be inspired by the tale of the knight who had come from humble beginnings just like him. He would give her a mount and help her on her adventures. And his word would be unbreakable. It would be so important to him that even thinking of lying would hurt him. A perfect addition to her image of a valiant knight.

Now, while you pushed events to make it to where these two would meet, you needed a foe for them to fight against. Someone scary, someone powerful. Someone that had a vaguely powerful enough magic that you could use them over and over again to make room for other villain's, and not use the evil king over and over again. Luckily, it seemed there was a monster you could twist to your needs.

It was resting in an underground cave with plenty of dead fish around it to keep it fed, its scaly eyes closed. Your feet gently pressed against the cold stone as you walked over to it, pressing your toe on scuff marks, a smile on your face. " Mm, a proper villain needs a proper name." Your hand glowed as it rested on the space between its eyes, rubbing up and down gently. " Rise Nagendra, my king of serpents. Rise, and protect your kingdom."

You vanished as yellow eyes cracked open, pupils becoming slits as it bared it fangs and let out a menacing hiss. It curled, and curled, reviewing the memories you had planted into its head, of its fellow serpents strange, and to it, cruel death. It wanted to crush her, to wrap around her and crush the life out of her themselves. But, no. She was dangerous in single combat, and it didn't have the venom its fellows did. No, it had... other tools. It reached into the area around it with its mind and drew forth the worms hiding in the rock, crabs washing out of the tunnel and arriving in his cave. " You, are, mine~" It hissed, seeming to glow for a moment in the darkness of the cave while it gathered its minions around it.

Now, you had a hero, you had a villain, and a trusty side kick to go along and provide support. The lizard people were still figuring out what they wanted to do, but that was alright with you. The other village would push them into a decision before long.


Roll: 21

You did a quick pulse of magic above the world, just a simple spell that would let you determine if anything interesting was happening. And as it was, there was. Some kind of underwater volcano that was spewing lava and creating an island somewhere in the sea.

Roll: 30

Luckily it wasn't too big, just enough for a small island to come into being, just rocks and such for now. Over time grass would grow and maybe something else would come of it.


Suddenly, you noticed that the rats were out and about from their home in the mountain, waving daggers and slicing up an animal they found. Dreadful little creatures, but you supposed you couldn't really complain. They would make an excellent minion race for future villains or if one got strong enough, maybe even a villain of their own.

Now, what would you do in the mean time...

[Fallen_Baroness]

Bone muncher sniffed as he and his brood kin dragged the body of the four legged thing back to the cave, chittering and swiping at each other the entire time. Letting out a frustrated huff, he slapped them both on the back of their head. " It-idiots! St-st-" he spat on the ground, " stop messing around! Need to get food back to cove, ot-ot-other wise Big Boss Shadow will kill us!" The grey rat glared at his two dirt brown brothers to get his point across, his yellow eyes gleaming.

" Fine fine." The other two grumbled, sinking their claws into the flesh and dragging it. As they got to the entrance, they saw two rats in red pelts, made from the skin of prey and splashing blood on it, guarding it with long pointy sticks. They saw the prey and gruffly pushed them inside, sneering at the three.

" Bas-bas-bas-" Bone Muncher spat again. " Bastards." It was quick work to drag the animal onto the meat pile, which was as the name said, just a large pile of raw meat from prey and other rats on top of the tribes first couple pelts. They ripped off a couple pieces, with Bone Muncher making sure to take meat from what he knew was prey, and barely managed to chew his down, snarling the entire time. His brothers enjoyed the taste of it like this, but he, he always thought it was too... wet. Yes, too wet.

As they ate, they took a look around to make sure no one was going to try and take it from them. Lots of ramps, hidey holes and small caves dug into the walls for welps and breeding crones, but no one coming. Which was odd, since his hair was stand-

" SKULL CRUSHER! FILTH MAKER!" He shivered as he heard the glutaral throat of their leader roar through the cavern. Well, whatever fools angered him, it wasn't his business to get involved. Then the names registered. " Skull? Filth?"

They shrugged and all three of them scurried to see what they had been called for. The answer was quickly given as they came up to the largest rat, with his fur being black as night and his eyes a burning red, Shadow. He waved a piece of prey leg at them and scarfed down what meat was in his throat. " SKULL CRUSHER. FILTH MAKER." His eyes narrowed as he seemed to take in the grey rat standing beside them. " WHO ARE YOU?"

" I'm Bo-Bo-Bo-"

" BO-BO-BO-" Shadow mockingly stuttered at him. " YOUR NAME!"

" Bo- Bone Muncher!" The grey rat squeaked finally, cowering beneath the disdain of their leader. " Skull Cru-Crushr and Filth Maker are my br-br- brothers."

" IS THAT SO?" He gave a snort then turned to look at the other two. " ONE OF MY RATS SAID YOU STOLE FROM THEM, THAT TRUE?"

" No, no!" " Never! They must be lying Boss Shadow!"

" SHUT UP!" and so they did. The red eyed rat glanced over them, idly scratching at his chest using the skull of some bird. " SPEAR MAKER SAYS HE SAW YOU TWO STEAL ONE OF HIS SHINY THINGS. AND SINCE HE MAKES THE SPEARS," he snarled and leaned in, the air growing even darker around him, his shadow seeming to detach from him and biting Filths head, rending deep slashes in Skulls throat. Bone Muncher merely jumped back, staring n horror as his brother stared at him, clawed hand wrapped as tightly around his neck as he could, the blood soaking his fingers red. Gargling sounds that almost sounded like your name left him, and his other claw scratched at the ground, but he fell down, his eyes lifeless.

" BONE MUNCHER." He snapped to face Shadow, body trembling. Shadow looked far too pleased with himself, his shadow feasting on Filths corpse. He gave a wave towards Skull Crusher. " PUT HIM ON THE MEAT PILE."

" But, Bo-bo-bo-"

" ADD HIM. TO. THE. PILE." The shadow turned your way, hissing. " UNLESS YOU WANT TO JOIN HIM?"

" No, no Bo-boss Shadow." Bone Muncher shuddered as he took his brother in his hands, fighting the urge to throw up. He, he didn't want to do this, but if he didn't then he would get killed, and he wanted to live more.

Ignoring the red stain the blood made as he dragged him, he drug him to the base of the meat pile, panting softly. He hadn't realized just how quiet the cave had gone, with what felt like the entire tribe watching him. " It's- it's done Boss Shadow."

" GOOD." Before he take in what happened, he felt the air displace past him and saw the bosses Shadow feasting on his body, quickly tearing flesh from bone.

" BONE MUNCHER." He shuddered and turned around, gulping at the boss. " GO BRING ME MORE FOOD. I'M STILL HUNGRY."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bone Muncher snarled as he chewed on the bone of a small squirrel he had caught then twisted it's head off. He hated his life. He got no respect, the last of his brood was killed, and now Shadow had eaten his brothers and even left the bones in what used to be their common room.

As he sat perched on his little cliff edge far away from the mountain as he could safely be, he watched the furless apes and their den. He had made sure to keep other rats from this area by keeping some shiners close, but not too close.

The light in their camp kept him fascinated. What was even better was when he saw they would keep it low, put a pig or deer over it if they were lucky that day, make it, he didn't know the word. Better? How did putting it over that light make it better?

" Because, it makes it taste better." Bone Muncher squeaked and jumped a little, pulling his knife out and holding it towards the white furred one next to him. " Whe-whe-whe- where did you come from!"

" Oh, me? That's not important. Sit down." Her lips were turned up in a really stupid look way, but she didn't look like she was going to attack., so he sat back down, his tail twitching. " Tell me Bone Muncher, what do you want?"

" Wha-wha-what do you mean?"

" I mean, what do you want?" It inched a little closer. " Your brothers were killed after all. Your people live in squalor, and your king is-"

" Boss."

" Pardon me?"

" Shadow is Bo-boss, not king."

" Mm, please forgive me. And your boss is, quite frankly, not the nicest I assume."

" He ate them."

" Hmm, not a nice person at all then. Well," she tapped her chin, seeming to be thinking about something. " Why not do something about it?"

" What do you mean? He's so strong, and his shadows..."

" Hmm, well, not use light?" She gestured towards the light in the middle. " The fire, while making some shadows deeper, pushes away most of the light."

" Right, but-but, I can't get that. It's so far away. And," he flailed a claw, letting out a sigh, " I can- can't just go in there."

" You don't need to." The furless thing held up its hand and an orb of light appeared, illuminating the pair. " He uses magic to make his shadow fight for him. Why can't you do the same to command the light?"

He squeaked and licked his lips, staring at his claw. " How, how do I do that?"

The woman seemed to loom over him, that smile still on her face. " Here, I'll show you." A hand on his face, and his mind expanded.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking through the cave, the others knew there was something... different about Bone Muncher. Something strange, something new.

" SHADOW!"

The large rat turned to face the grey one, red eyes meeting yellow. " AH, BONE MUNCHER OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS. DID YOU BRING SOMETHING TO EAT?"

" No, I- I did not. " He held one claw out and ran his other up the air in front of it, summoning a spear that seemed to glow. " I've come, to kill you!"

Shadows shadow surged forward, shrieking as it zoomed towards its target. A bashing was all it received, the light taking out a large chunk of its head. Bone Muncher calmly walked up to Shadow, swatting away his actual shadow whenever it came up to attack. " STOP, STOP! LEAVE ME ALONE!" When the light wielding rat got close, Shadow jumped forward to try and crush him beneath his mass. A knife slashed into his gut and the sword followed, stabbing into him. The dark colored rat gasped, his red eyes seeming to burn with hatred, then collapsed, the spear poking through his back.

Bone Muncher grunted and tossed the rat to the side, his glowing spear stuck in his body for a moment before vanishing into little motes of light. " We will be doing things differently now. For one," he pointed at the meat pile, light in his claw, " no more eating each other. Next, this cave." He looked around, seeming to find distaste. " It could be better. And third, I am no long Bone Muncher." He thought back to what the white haired one said, and a story came to mind. If they asked where his powers came from, he would just say a rat with fur whiter than anything they had ever seen, and eyes he couldn't hope to describe. But enough of that for now, he had an audience to address.

Summoning a small stick of light with a crown looking thing, he smiled. " I am no longer Bone Muncher," he repeated. " I am now, Kingdok!"

 

[Jakarta]

So when are we voting again?

 

[Fallen_Baroness]

It had been about a month since you talked with the rat and pushed him to unlock his powers, and better yet, several monsters had developed enough for you to make use of them one day. There was a giant ant who was building a hive somewhere. There was a troll who ate stone and had his skin grow just as hard as it. And there was a dragon living somewhere in a volcano, but they were asleep.

But enough about that, you had conflict to push and things to put in order!

The rival lizard man group was starting to get pushy, taking over hunting grounds and good spots in the water. So far there had only been a couple skirmishes and a couple of broken bones and several flesh wounds, but no one had died.

You decided to listen in on the first tribes council meeting. It should be, fun!

" We have to deal with them!"

" And how? We already pushed them out of the tribe, and that led to them banding together. If they were still weak we could just push in and take what they have, but their stronger now!" One of the elders complained, waving a hand around. " Besides, if the chief hadn't thrown out his son after that hunt, let me nurse him back like I wanted, then he wouldn't be out there leading these, these," he spat, " thugs."

" Well we can't go back, so we have to live with it. What do we know about them?"

" Well, they have a cave under the water. They have plenty of food, and clean water, and seem capable of making fire easily. They have," the one speaking tore into a leg of some sort of large frog, tearing meat from bone, " large spikes with little barbs on them, make them tricky to pull out."

" And? What about their soldiers? Anything special about them?"

" No. They tried to get some of the poison spitters we use but luckily we kept them back. One of our hunters swears up and down he saw one of them trying to tame a giant beast but that's absurd. They have no beast tamers."

" Still. And what about their leader?"

" He has a new hand. Rips through bone and muscle like nothing I've ever seen before. " A puff of smoke left another's mouth. " Someone saw him squeeze a club into splinters with it. I think he's the one keeping them from killing anyone."

" Would be easier if he didn't. Then we would have an excuse to invade, bring them into our fold."

" Where is the chief? Why isn't he here?"

" He's off on a hunt. Plus, he doesn't need to be here. We can take care of these upstarts ourselves."

" But, what if we can't?"

" Impossible. We have more than them, and though they may be strong nw, they were weak once before." A haughty sniff followed. " Weak blood will always show through in these cases."

You left after that. It seemed there was a bit of disagreement in the camp, and you were sure either way it would lead t a delicious story thread for you to follow. As for a beast, there was one exceptionally large alligator, but there was nothing terribly special about it. Maybe, this should be changed.

[] Change the alligator
-[] If so, what changes should be made? Keep in mind it lives in a swamp bordering a wooded area.


[] Make no changes to the gator. You've interfered enough with the other tribe.

 

[Jakarta]

[X] Make no changes to the gator. You've interfered enough with the other tribe.

I think a regular alligator's already pretty frightening. No need to change it IMO.

[Fallen_Baroness]

You decided not to mess with the beastly alligator. Judging from the way they talked about it, it seemed like it would be enough to cause a difference.

You popped over to the other tribe and saw them gathering spears and a sack. " Boss, we'll be fine." One of the smaller ones had a smile on his face, waving his arm around. " All we're going to do is hunt some food, bring it back."

" And the fact you have the same maniac who tried to tame the beast with you is just happenchance, I'm sure." The leader, the one you had given the arm too, said in one of the blandest voices you had heard. " Just, be careful. The others are still out there, and they don't like us for existing. I just don't want to give them an excuse."

"I promise we'll be careful. And he won't try anything this time," the thin one turned, " Isn't that right?"

" Yeah, I won't be going after it anytime soon." He chuckled and rubbed the back of his head softly.

The leader merely sighed and shook his head. " Just, be safe." He then gave the group one more hard look before he turned around to go take care of something in the back.

The group hurried to the surface and crawled onto their feet, looking down before running into the swamp.

" So, we're going to try and get that gator still, right?"

" Yes. Besides, even if we don't we can just find some food and bring it back. Now come on, it should be heading back to its lair about now." He turned to one of his friends. " You got the meat?" The friend gave a slight nod and held up the sack, having put a small amount of meat inside it. " Excellent. Now, lets go."

They followed him to where the beasts lair was, only avoiding the other tribes patrols once, as well as the blood thorns. One of his friends split off to take care of a task but quickly returned to them when it was done, just in time. They quickly found the entrance, the smell of slightly decayed corpses hanging outside, along with the half eaten body of a jungle cat. Water was deep inside, and they could see two orange staring at the entrance, narrowing into slits.

" It's there. Hurry, pull out the meat." The idiot gestured with his arm rapidly, keeping eye contact with the great beast. He was tossed a slab of meat and held it out on a thick stick he had found on the way, grunting and leaning in just the tiniest amounts. The great scaled beast slowly swam forward and jumped up to snatch the meat, and just so happened to break off part of the stick.

" Fuck. I need another one, now." This time he just tossed it to the giant sized alligator who gave him a wary glance but still consumed it, its teeth tearing apart meat.

" Alright, now we just pull out and GO GO GO!" They ran away with the gator following them, tossing meat along the way to keep it doing so.

They eventually made their way to a small pond where there was a bigger pile of meat on the opposite side. " Ok to the sides, go!" His friends split off as the would be beast tamer jumped inside it, the large gator following suite.

" Here, calm down and we'll give you more." The great beast snarled and looked at him with orange wary eyes, slowly inching forward. He was knocked to the side by its massive tail, but it didn't lunge at him after that, instead merely chomping down on the meat pile.

It didn't trust him quite yet, but that was alright.
----------------------------------------------------

Hmm, it would be interesting to see what would happen when the two tribes finally got into an actual fight. Though, you could hear someone calling for you. Or, at least you assumed it was you.

" Tall one!" Ah, Bone Muncher. You waited another moment to see what else he would call you. " White f-f-furred one! Light bringer!" He snarled and stamped on the ground. " Tall thing that gave m-me light!"

" Hello Bone Muncher." He let out a yelp and nearly jumped when you appeared behind him, a smile on your face. He let out a soft shiver and slowly settled down. " I heard you were calling for me?"

" W-w-where did you-" he shook his head. " D-dosen't matter. Listen, you gave me light and I'm t-t-thankful." He ran his claws over each other, picking at some unseen irritant. " But, but others want to use magic too. Can you give them light too?"

[] No, but I can show you how to unlock magic.

[] No, that is something they must figure out on their own.

[] Yes I can. Which ones want to have it unlocked?

[] Yes, but only a few, the rest won't be able to handle it.

[] Write in, something about blah blah blah, self improvement and balance.

 

[Jakarta]

[X] Yes, but only if they agree to work hard for their skills and live a virtuous and noble life. I will unlock some of the rats' potential, but only for the ones who are of good moral character and willing to walk the walk.

Let's see how this angle works. I kinda want to see the societal differences between Rat magic users and non magic users. Especially with the stipulations created.

Do you know anyone off forum that might be interested? Might wanna rope them on in here.

Eh, not really. And don't get me wrong, I love having you guys vote. I just expected a couple more people by now I guess? I don't know. I am both oddly happy your still here and confused. Anyway! I think I'm actually going to close voting now.

Yo Baroness, we're still waiting for our results here. C'mon, don't keep us hanging.

He seems to pause for a moment, considering your words. " White furred one, what do you mean, virtuous, and noble?"

You let out a soft sigh and placed your hand on your face, rubbing the cloth right where your eyes would be. " Just, lead me to the rest of your clan and I will explain from there."

He did so, seeming to take pains to make sure you weren't followed. You made sure that you had no trail, but it was nice to see the rat keeping his instincts.

As you were lead inside the caves of the ratlings, you saw that things had much improved since you were last here. Sure some of the buildings looked shoddy, but there were many more supports in the tunnels and for the minor caves that protruded around it. There were no visible rat corpses on the meat pile, and that had been been placed into a hole in the ground, covered in a tarp and with two tall guards.

" Hmm, much better Kingdok." You would go with the silly little name he had chosen for himself. " Now, have your people gather together, and I will do what I can." You didn't expect to find many that would live up to your standards, or even have magic worth unlocking, but since you already said that you would...

You soon found yourself surrounded by a horde of rat people, some sneering and unbelieving, while others seemed, scared. Hmm, yes. You quite liked that look on them.

" If you think you have the will, or the strength, step forward." You smiled and waved out a hand, the little digits humans called fingers extending. " And I will grant you power."

This caused several to lunge forward, babbling nonsense. While they made noise at you you peered through their minds, choosing the ones that seemed like they would at least loosely fit the rules of living a virtuous life.

One was able to summon sturdy looking armor, and an unbreakable sword. Of course, it looked liked it was dirtied with dirt and blood, but you knew that that anyone beside yourself wouldn't be able to break it. " You shall be the unbreakable warrior, the knight that sallies out against his foes and declares woe." The grin the rat thing had given was terrible to look at. All those yellow teeth!

The next one you chose snuffled as you placed a hand on its head, a faint white glow surrounding the air around it. " You will heal, and let your fellows birth many more." The rat gave a grin and rushed to the birthing dens.

One more glance over the crowd proved there were no more good rats for you to unlock magic for. " I have granted your brethren the gift of magic. Use it well, use it wisely." You smiled gently, which seemed to cause some of the rats to flinch. " If you ever have need of me," you lazily gestured towards Kingdok, " your king knows how to find me."

There was silence for a moment before you heard someone yell " Whats your name!"

Hmm, what would your name be?

[] Name.





Alright, you have helped the rats! What do you want to do now?

[]Check on the fish people.
[] Check on the lizards.
[] Keep an eye on the rats.
[] See what the humans are up to.



As your world becomes more advanced I will open up more options for creating things, and especially when you have one or more species meet. It's the reason I've only really asked about monsters, and even then once.


Also, I am sorry this took so long! But, i promise its for a good cause. I have been looking for a better job than the one I am n, and in that search I have found an excellent opportunity to go back to school. I don't know when they will open back up, but I have my spot saved. Woo!

Ohhhhhhh. Now we can see what they're up to. I'm really interested in hearing what they're doing in this world. Also, I think a name like Erika seems solid. Female, and probably won't confuse the humans too much.

Also, I know this is more far fetched, but I wanna see this world progress all the way, and I mean ALL THE WAY, to the modern world and beyond. See how these people evolve from simple hunters and gatherers to making space stations across their solar system.
