....Well Amxu, you best get to testing this. Who knows, somewhere under the crazy and the quirky might be lurking some kind of goblin tactical genius.

CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

Nestling yourself in between two rivers is great and all, but think about this;

If YOU managed to cross it (You being goblins), I don't think larger and more well-off races will have trouble crossing it (AKA Your Enemies).

You've been playing on hardmode from the start. You have no resources and no groundwork for a village let alone a citadel. Your enemies are all hiding out in well-defended pinnacles of the technological times, stocked full of natural resources to last them for many years to come.

In any case, a cliff by the sea, a hill overlooking a very large lowland, mountains, a patch of solid ground poking out of less forgivable terrain (Swamps, Marshes, Permafrost, etc.), an island are the best places for a citadel, or underground itself are the best places for a citadel.

Another thing to note is that while extreme weather is very hard to work around, once you get settled in and work it out of the way it becomes a serious detriment to your enemies.

>>39259
Yeah, but if we're not near the river, we don't get access to clean running water.

>>39255
This whole area is pretty good with quite a few trees, except... We have dorfsign.

Set up camp back at the previous river fork, equidistant from the dwarf and human settlements.

>>39271
If you stay low key and make efforts to stay discrete, this should let you go undiscovered long enough to at least set up a solid start to a colony.

>>39269

Stay there. Just have to be careful while building your camp.

>>39278
no, we want at least one river crossing between dwarfs and us.

>>39279
I suggest just crossing the river so we are still at the intersection of the 3 rivers.

>>39269
Make sure the river is full of carp. That will hold the Dorfs off.

>>39280

Backtracking over the river? I support this!

Anywhere along the river in the area with vegetation should make a good spot.

Here looks good. We're by and large protected by the river, and when the time comes, we'll have pretty easy access to good raiding locations. That road to the north between two bridges? We destroy the bridges and the caravans will be helpless.

Camp Established.
Goblins can now be assigned to BUILD, GATHER, SCOUT or whatever...

What kind of materials do we have on hand?

Ozud Start scouting around, he seems the sneaky lurky sort. Investigate the river, see if we can find any potential bridge sites that the dorfs may use, or any shallow points that could allow people to get across too easilly.

Stozo seems the burly building sort. Let's have him lay down the foundation for the tower and get a commonroom established so we don't necessarilly have to sleep outside tonight.

Amxu, use your adventurous spirit to start looking around for ideal resources. Obsidian is preferable for tower building, but any sort of quary is perfect.

Atu, start gathering up seeds and local fruits/foods.

Noko, find a nice plot of land and start farming.

List of current supplies/skills?

>>39322
Lets get at least some wood so we can start constructing some permanent homes.

And we should probably send a goblin scouting for any caves we might be able to use in the immediate vicinity, as well as bringing back a report on what kind of things are in our local area.

>>39335

This sounds reasonable. I concur.

"Lay down a foundation" is a pretty monumental task, guys. We don't even have good stone, much less the masonry to cut it square.

South of the river is kind of grassy, foresty with a bit of rocks.

>List of current supplies/skills?

What's that now?

>>39355

You do not possess any skills? Uh oh.

>>39355
Oh dear. Okay, um...

If we have no supplies, then priority number one is GET SUPPLIES. Um.

Just to be clear, we have no axes, tents, or tools of any sort?

Geez. Well if we don't, then we may as well begin sharpening rocks by banging them against each other.

We're in for the long haul guys!

>>39358
a spirit of adventure is the only skill you need.

Maybe we should run back down to that cave and bust open the crate to see if there's anything useful in there. We have no tools, apparently.

Why did we not take that crate oh god.

Ok. lets start hauling materials back to camp. Ideally you should tie a bunch of sticks and branches and things together somehow and then load rocks onto the flatbed that creates. That way we can drag a bunch of stuff back at once.

If that's too heavy, how about we just start carting back armfulls of sticks and rocks. We'll first want to sharpen one of the sticks on one of the rocks though, to make a makeshift spear in case we run into anything worrisome.

I mean, a Masonry Workshop only requires one boulder to build, right? And from there we can start churning out bricks for the foundation.

I dunno. Those fuckers in Spore could build everything out of just food. I think it was just 15 for javelins or stone axes.

Oh right... The crate... Probably would have been good to check... It's probably full of stolen valuables... Maybe illegal weapons? Probably would have given us something useful.

I guess we could send someone back to check.

Send grapefruit-tits and the skiddish one.

They look like they cold use the bonding experience.

>>39464
We DID tell you to check on and bring the crate at various moments in the past.

Also a crate that big will probably require more than one person to move as it is anyway.

>>39464
You should go and check it out but be first make sure to plant your flag on one of the males (or females) you may not come back may as well enjoy yourself.

>>39464
Look at her in the water.

So soft and inviting.

Get in the water, engage in frisky business beneath water. Act nonchalant about it.

I guess I could go, but I'd need help with it...
and you just want me to grab one of them and do that before I go? I, uh...

>>39502
No no no, there is plenty of time for that later. Take Stozo with you and go check that crate out.

Bring everyone. I don't know if you realized it but that crate was easily your height and about three of you wide. There is no way you are moving that crate with one or even two people.

I seriously doubt anyone is going to take your spot while you're gone, and even if someone does, you can take the opportunity to introduce them to your crate. And maybe what's in it too.

Plus it'll go my much quicker if everyone is helping. Use the weak skiddish guy as a spotter so you don't get ambushed.

>>39502
It's just cute to see you blush~
Grab some help and go loot the crate. Hopefully it's something useful and not assorted toy forges.

Also what exactly are you talking to?

>>39511
Clearly us, the voices in her noggin.

>>39502
Yes. You need to assert your dominance as the leader of this expedition.

Taking one or more of them and marking them as yours will show them that you mean business.

...Or you can just listen to the other voices, that's fine.

>>39502
..I suppose frisky business can wait, for the moment. But Noko sure does look alluring in the water with her top off, doesn't she? Its like she's trying to get a 'rise' out of you!

Take that burly dude, you could use the time together

We can take a straight path back, instead of weaving around through rivers, but it will still take a couple days, especially if there's something heavy we want to bring back.

I'll take Stozo with me, since he's the biggest, he'll be able to handle what I need him to do...


I MEAN LIFTING!

>>39555
Nobody implied you meant anything else.

>>39555
Sounds like a plan. Hopefully the others will have a bit of a perimiter set up by the time you return. You know, a little stick fence or something.

Remember to give Stozo lots of hugs to let him know that we appreciate the help. Maybe nibble on or rub his ear a bit too. I hear male goblins like that sort of thing.

>>39568
Well, you could simply huddle together for warmth each night and get a bit frisky. After all, he is ever so muscular, and that earring does make him look rather sexy...

>>39555
Remember, you need to get more population soon, and it takes a while after the conception to have a useful goblin. Starting a bit early wouldn't be bad~

SPARE US NO DETAILS, SATAN.

>>39666
He is so pretty though. You know you want to do more than just share body heat.

Just a little cuddling, maybe a tiny bit of groping couldn't hurt, right~?

Come the fuck on. Look at the way he's holding you. He's practically asking for it!

omg. Isn't he soooo cute? you should totally like... do things to him in his sleep... omg. Steal his pants. Steal his pants and swap them with your own. Wouldnt that be sooo cute? I bet he'd look so good in them... mmm... give him a kiss too... he deserves it for agreeing to help~.

>>39666
Just give it some though, Axmu. Wouldn't you like to help out? Wouldn't you like to be closer to Stozo? To have a friendship cemented with more than just being the same race and in the same situation?

Plus... it's fun :V

>>39666
Stick it in his pooper.

I like where this is going...

I mean, that crate is bound to have some good stuff, right?

>>39666
You can feel him. He's breathing on your neck. His hand is touching your breast. You're blushing, Amxu. You want it more than you're willing to admit.

Or, consider this:
Did you know, in some cultures, the women are the ones who rule?

Wouldn't you like to be the matriarch of your new settlement? Everyone bowing down to you. Respecting you. You can make new life. You're better.

>>39720
We're allready the leader, I'd say. We have, after all, selected the location of setllment. and we decide who is accompaning us. We already are the matriarch. I just dont think we're used to it.

>>39666

Ignore the perverts. What you have right now is more than enough. You can deal with the rougher stuff further down the line.

>>39784

Ignore the prudes. What you have right now is nothing compared to what you could be having. You might find you like it rough.

>>39786
Exactly. And after all, being assertive is the trait of a good leader.

You want to be a good leader, don't you?

>>39798
You misspelled "breeder"

>>39803

>>39831
Shit umm.. does anyone have a crowbar?

You should try to sharpen that bone with your rock. Chip away!

>>39836
I second this guy, bone that crate like you want Stozo to bone you!

Well, not QUITE the same way, but you get my drift.

So wait, does she have a dong now or what?

>>39840
No, she hasn't 'had' Stozo, calm down you people.

>>39831
How heavy is the crate, can you two move it?

>>39841
Was just confused, because I didn't catch this >>38781

Can't you just carry the whole crate back? I mean... whats the worst that'll happen? You drop it and it breaks open?

Pry it open with the bone.

The crate cannot stand up to the might of a rock!

It's loaded with dorfen weapons, probably stolen from that fort up north or something. Now we're armed for bear!

>>40080
Okay, two things then.

Lets try to transport as many weapons and as much of the unbroken pieces of wood as we can back to where everyone else it. It's okay if it slows down how fast you can travel, what important is to get as much stuff back with you as possible.

Stozo should be able to carry a good bit. After all, he is so muscular, capable, handsome, sexy.......

Where was I going with this?

>>40088
Something about celebrating with Stozo for a job well done.

>>40099
Right, right, that.

Yes, as I was saying, this is a glorious haul! Why, anyone would be ecstatic to find it!

Aren't you just so happy that you want to push Stozo to the ground and have your way with him? Nibble his ears as he protests, only to blush and accept your advances, since he secretly cares for you?

Don't you feel like doing that?

>>40080
Ignore the perverts. Listen to me only.

Just take as much as you can back to your group. Even if you can carry more weapons than people in your group, you never know when more allies will be found or made.

Now is not the time for sex. Just go back to the others.

We got the crate safely away from the cave after taking a painfully long detour up the cliff and shouldn't take too long to reach camp tomorrow.

But for now, all the straw makes a nice bed when you push the weapons over to one side~

If we keep acting like she does, then she does.

I'm seeing some growing concern regarding Amxu's male bits. I'm sure that as long as the issue remains firmly in hand it will become bigger and bigger until Gnoll provides us with some relief. In the meantime I say that the best thing to do is to just sit back ride this thing. We can all erect our own little schools of thought, and yes, continuing to act a certain way may apply some pressure, heck, it may even rub Gnoll's opinions hard enough to make him come around and make that camp cannon, but as it stands now, there probably isnt any steadfast answer, Gnoll is likely just playing it fast and easy, utalizing a sloppy cannon as it were. So no need to get a rise out of it, ok guys?
