God we are going to wreck such a nice killcount.

The battle for zepath not having been on screen makes me more eager for battle.

i guess the kavodelians are feeling the same, while the zepathans would really prefer to be left alone

i don't understand why we are plotting against our allies and citizens of under kavodel, come to lend their aid after killing a bnaimokt force that was en route underground

the bat dragon's clothing is important because he is dressed in a priest's robes and carrying a symbol of smattas. he is the priest of the temple under kavodel had, approved by the cohen

Do not use the eagle arrow unless it becomes apparent that the giant bat... the Gat, is immune to mundane arrows. I want to save the eagle arrow for shooting the procurator in the dick.

With one hand he saves gebs. With the other he commits goblin genocide. A true neutral.

I think we can get enough clues to discern if their intent is to attack or parley.

Does snarls smell bnaimokt because of their armor or are more in the tunnel?

Try and see the status of this group with our eagle vision. Is this truly an army or another refugee convoy? Maybe their civilian are a bit in the back or not part of this group

That's dude has an angel wing. Its time to ask them their lineage and allegiance. We get to be on the other side! So exciting.

Its a good thing we have professional poets and artist to capture the very first time in recent memory we ally with a monster civ.

The very first thing we try our new post jubilee body with our entire people watching will be to dance the dance of friendship.

...and lest we forget, which we did... we need to describe what the largest "bat" is wearing. The hour was late and we forgot it. We'll get to that tomorrow.

Also if you can come up with some names between now and then it would be appreciated! What do you call these things when talking to people? Which is how we'll refer to them. Serious names please, something you can quickly communicate to others and which they will understand, not puns or jokes.

By El! Is that... is that Samsons Music?!

As for names, what about Blinders for the eyeless goblinoids, Blindwyrms for the larger bat-monsters and Armoules for the mounts?

Well, this loving sucks, we dithered too long and let a couple of dread beasts and a grunt army get the drop on us. We need to get on the front foot immediately here and set the terms of the battle- a bit of crowd control with Mercy before the enemy gets too close would probably be a solid move to make here.

Well, poo poo. Looks like Ahaz was right after all, it would have been better to wait and split our forces between the perimeter and the interior.

We’re not getting out of this one without spending a huge chunk of nephesh to empower the civilians close to the perimeter enough that they can take on mooks with makeshift weapons. Unless we can straight-up murk the bat-dragon with lightning or similar and cause the rest to flee.

Nah we got this. Our mighty men can absolutely wreck this force, unless their objective is "kill civilians ignoring all losses" which is not usually how military forces behave. Their goal is probably to smash our military and take the juicy blood scarifies.

I'm not going to be goaded by diog into a bullshit fight, only when it is revealed that the Bigba is actually a total rear end in a top hat and not just looks like a jerk will I commit to mega violence.

Pretty sure we have a slight possibility of talking our way out of this, or by physically wrasslin the boss into submission

……wait.

We’ve seen that “many” of these things wield crude clubs or spears, implying that many also don’t. Do any of them look like they could be civilians, e.g. by carrying things other than weapons or armour?

It’s theoretically possible this is the underground civilisation beneath Zepath that we previously coexisted peacefully with, that they’re evacuating along with us, and that this doesn’t have to be a (very costly) fight. It’s not likely, but I’ll grasp at any straw I can find right now.

e: Also worth noting that if this is the underground civilisation beneath Zepath, then they are in possession of infinite loving neurotoxin for those crude weapons.

These are cave creatures and bats. Theyre weak to bright lights and loud noises.

Archers to continuously pelt the area outside of our ranks with barrage fire and otherwise target incoming threats.

We need to intercept Batticus Maximus and keep its mayhem contained away from our people. A big raging one on one tumbling through its ranks would be pretty sweet. MERCY our way into the ranks, do a backflip off of the end of Mercy to get directly above Batticus Maximus and ride that bastard to the ground with our sword lodged in its CNS.
