Hope the Shadow Elemental (Jbehler64) and Talin the Bug Folk (Imic)
Mt Tartarus(Hope) Meeting Heolapedia, the Possessed Book[-] Hope met with Heolapedia.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Hope. I heard of your current works, and wish to assist in your endeavors. What do you think? I was told you were looking for monsters knowledgeable of the way of words and letters, surely my skills could greatly help you."Heolapedia the Possessed Book also has a near perfect memory, and can record all kind of details in its pages.
(Hope) Project: Media Division Sociable Shade Intelligence 1[5] As time passed, the Media Division kept growing until it could function exactly like you envisioned it to. All its members are capable of basic reading and writing, and work directly with the already established Information Gathering Division.
The current main orders of the Media Division were to cover information about the progress of the Arena, and the reports of Eversor at the Latze Plains. News of its victory against the Bartoros greatly increased the mood of the citizens.
Media Division operational
Mood: Happy(Hope) Mini-Project: Teaching Letters[6] Hope was adamant that monsters with literary knowledge should teach others. His plan was successful, and currently most of the populace can at least read simple words.
It came at a cost though, as the teachers came from the Media Division and other Divisions, slowing down several other projects.
Most of the citizens can now read simple wordsMany projects slowed downSide Order: Information Gathering Subdivision[2] For a moment, Hope thought about establishing a subdivision aimed at gathering information. As he shared this idea with other kingdom officials, he learnt an information gathering division was already in place. With your Media Division, all this gathered information could now be properly spread and used.
[Information Gathering Division]
(Talin) Meeting Oogloo Deblob the Blob:[-] Talin had a friendly chat with Oogloo. The Blob told him of the current progress of his division, and how they could already refine a wide array of substances. He didn't know what was the name of the place he came from, only that it was a dense jungle. He was very curious, and especially loved discovering new substances. Naturally, he asked Talin the same. Where did he came from, and what were his wishes?
After parting, Oogloo told Talin that if he needed help, he could come to ask for the Blob for help.
Talin made a friend, Oogloo of the Alchemy Division(Talin) Project: The Arena Intelligence 2[1] The construction of the Arena was especially affected by the several other projects slowing down due to lacking competent staff in accounting and organization areas.
Arena progress slowed by a MonthEversor the Animated Armor (Hawk132)
Latze PlainsChallenging the Bartoros Leaders: Won against Zadan-YoofEversor arrived at the Bartoros Summit, causing the outrage of all present. But what caused even more disbelief was the fact that he was accompanied by Zadan-Yoof and his herd. Invoking the Bartoros tradition, Eversor challenged the leaders to a battle.
Eversor:
Strength 3 [16]
Bartoros Leaders:
Strength 2 [2]
(I have decided to use [Attribute]d6 when doing opposition rolls)
Eversor was disappointed. The Leaders were much weaker than Zadan-Yoof, or was it because your victory against Zadan had shaken them? It didn't matter, as the Zethean Lord crushed the Leaders unopposed, making them kneel before him.
As per the tradition, all the Bartoros Herds now belonged to that of Eversor: Zethe.
By conquering the Bartoros, Eversor succeeded in subjugating the Latze Plains!Azarian the Thoughtbeast (Dustan Hache) and Rusty the Materivor (crazyabe)
Parabes Mountain RidgeScouting Network: Floating Oculi, Harpies and Ogres[2] Abnormal movements coming from the Kragoliuths were detected late by Azarian's troops. As they seemed to be gathering in a place far from strategic locations, Azarian paid it no mind.
That is, until he realized Rusty had gone in the same direction.
Azarian's reinforcement will arrive on Phase 3xxxxxxx
