order everyone to start securing the area, we'll get the others.
[switch to venian]

hey, you know whats a good idea? not going in there. how about we just whip up a few tons of some flammable liquid(napalm would be ideal) and pour that down the death cave before dropping a match instead of going in ourselves.

>>343984
Grovy, lets report this and get more people here. For exploration of places like this you want people to know where you are and have a base of operations set up at the entrance if clearing the place out takes several days.

Good, maybe now I'll get to strike BACK! At these bastards.

"Camp secure Venian."

"Good. Prepare to move it. We've found their lair."

"We...have?"

"Yes. Get ready to move out."

This will be a bit new for me. So um...Relay the message to Varius. Have him come back.

Relay what now?

>>344064

Oh! Well that's fan-fucking tastic. Er...but only I'm comin back seein as everyone else kinda kicked it.

>>343998
To carry that much shit out Veni'd need a...uh...something huge. We don't got something huge. I think.

>>344032
Shit. It's that big? Fuck.

>>344065
Damn, you got attacked? These things really are everywhere. Get back with the others so we can get our extermination on.

>>344065
Well it might not be. But it could be, and it's better to err a bit on the side of caution in cases like this. And the search is probably going to be a slow affair and might take a bit of manpower, would be a good thing if you can set up checkpoints and stuff behind you to make sure none of the beasts crawl up behind and surround the leading party.

>>344190
Well you were right about that. Veni done got some base camp set up at the mouth of the cave. Seriously. The fuck does someone miss somethin this big? So Veni's thinkin cuz I kicked ass on my own I should probably take like 5 guys and he'll take the rest. Only problem is deciding which way to go. Already there's a split.

clear the upper path first. if they are below then no big tactical loss, but if they are in the upper area and you go down they would have the high ground.

clearing the top level first would be a good idea. they might have other exits, you don't want them escaping while you clear the nest.

Oh yeah and I have no idea what Veni's doin. I dun even know if he left yet.

how quickly do you think you could block it? just a few swings to the wall or a while? if a while then get some backup, if real fast then take it down.

>>344826
Well you might want to use that one yourself later. Send a guy to get reinforcements and tell them to bring a big sturdy net. Then they can use the net to block it off and kill anyone of the creatures trying to escape using this route.

>>344825
Collapse it. Methodical prevents mistakes.

Net. Send us to veni, if you have a magical communication device fucking use it

Okay I think I figured out how to pull you back myself...so what did Varius find?

"Lord Venian the cavern splits into three. Where do we go?"

>>344919
Nowhere yet, this is an excellent spot for calling in reinforcements and setting up a checkpoint.

found a upper cave and blocked it, will keep you from being pincered.

that's a good idea. we don't know how smart these things are but they might be smart enough to try and encircle you. but do you have enough men to make check points? if not you might want to consider collapsing some passages. if you can confirm that they don't have any other tunnels leading to the surface we can either seal them in or do the trick where you start a fire at the mouth of a cave to asphyxiate everything inside of it.

>>344937
We have reinforcements. 20 militia, though I don't have high hopes for them. Varius says he's exploring the other tunnel but I've yet to hear anything. Now where do we go?

>>344937
A good idea but I'd like to know what is down those tunnels before blocking them.

>>345610
Well if they're an untrustworthy bunch then I suggest you wait here for Varius. Then he can set up a checkpoint here, he should be able to do so. Then you can safely explore one of the tunnels with the knowledge that nothing will flank you and come up from behind.

>>345610
>A good idea but I'd like to know what is down those tunnels before blocking them.

This is wrong.

No you shouldn't collapse the tunnels, but blocking passages is vital to a proper clearing.
You have magic users. Just put a giant rock over each tunnel until you explore it.

okay, strategic retreat. need to get back to higher concentrations of troops.

Yeah yeah I know, fuck I stirred up a damned nest of em!

"RYIK RYIK! RYIK RYIK! RYIK RYIK! RYIK RY-AAAARK!"

yeah, need to back off some and then seal this tunnel for a bit and check the others to make sure you can't get pincered.

>>347166
Probably to some place deeper into the lair. Might be enough time to save him still, although I wouldn't count on it. Oh, and Veni could use you back where he's at, the cave split again.

Holy hell you were right about him needing help. Fuck, those things are crawling outta the woodwork!

"Varius, it seems my decision is made for me, I fight down the right tunnel. But will you take the far right or the left?"

"My lord, I'm not sure it would be best for me to leave right now."

"No I have this under control."

go left.

Go left!

>>347465
Wow, that is quite a bit of monsters to tear through. But if he says he's ok then he's probably ok. Lets see what's down the left one.

I think I'm gonna need more than two dudes...

maybe. let's see how it reacts to damage. throw a knife or something at it.

>>347767
yeaaahhhh, we gun need magic or explosives for this one.

We should report back about the GODDAMN HUGE THING to your boss.

we gonna need a bigger group. sealing what tunnels you can find and gathering more troops might be the best plan right now.

>>347767
Umm, yeah that seems fair. Go back to your boss and ask if you can borrow his corpse mage. That dude was good with the blasty spells in life and should still be decent with them, then we unleash hell on that big thing.

"Veni-Jono! My arm!"

"Ach-ka...one minute. I told you, these rocks are sharp, don't be so damn clumsy or you're going to do this. Let me see if anything got in the wound."

"It hurts! Don't touch it!"

"It's just a scratch Gyoji, stop acting so dramatic."

"Scratch?! Look how much I'm bleeding, this could kill me! I could be poisoned by those things!"

"You're barely bleeding at all, and you need to actually get scratched by them to get the poison. This is why I said stay back at the base camp. See? The bleeding is stopping already."

"But the poison-"

"There is no poison! What do I have to do to convince you? Suck the wound?!"

Uh...what am I looking at?

hahaha, levity in the face of doom. you can't tell anyone about this until she passes her trial to not be a slave anymore. maybe you can help her train for that? anyway, get ready to kill a monster thing.

>>348524
There's... something in there, something black? Wash it out with water to get a better look.

wait... oh god that voice it right. something is in there.

That's just loose skin/fur. If there was actually something in the wound Venian would have noticed.

we can spin this. an enemy came at you from behind and she leapt in it's way. BAM, she saved your life. and has a wound to prove it.
