Retech

Kimako asks if you can use a grenade launcher attachment for an AK-47. If she can, then she buys one of the grenade launcher attachments, then buys as many 40mm grenades as she can, even offering her fire protection artifact if it fetches more than five grenades. Then she goes back to the Duty base and falls asleep.

(Oh, the first anomaly was one of them. Whoops) Kimako approaches the old warehouse (renegade settlement) and attempts to blend into the crowd. If she secures access, then she goes to the trader and asks to look at his wares. If she fails, then she runs like hell in the opposite direction, firing with her MP5.

Kimako questions the professor, showing him that there are two different fire anomalies on the map. If the professor is mistaken, then Kimako heads to the other fire anomaly, putting her first fire artifact into the container. Then she scans the anomaly and finds the artifact, hopefully a flame thrower or grenade launcher. :P

Kimako asks the professor if you can equip an artifact, then unequip it, and equip it (like regular armor). If you can, she equips the artifact and goes to the next fire anomaly, scanning that to find the artifact.

Woohoo, little taste of action there! Kimako goes back to the ecologist base and asks them what it does. Then she walks to the next fire anomaly. (After the day of artifact hunting, tomorrow will be massacre time! :D)

Kimako randomly goes to one of the anomalies, and repeats the scanning/artifact finding procedure that she is getting used to.

Kimako returns to the ecologists, and asks why the artifact disentigrated. Then she sells the artifact for 600c, and asks for the location of some sort of anomaly which could help her find some sort of flamethrowing artifact. Then she heads to said anomaly.

Kimako continues scanning and heads to the artifact if that works out.

Kimako scans the anomaly and heads to the artifact, scans that and retrives it if it's not dangerous.

Kimako decides she will wait until she gets the last artifact, before she decides to sell or not. Then she fires her MP5 at the dogs, firing as many rounds as she needs to until they die (I think it has a 15 round clip), making sure to stay a good distance from them.

Kimako offers to sell the artifact for 3000c, or for another upgraded version of the protective suit. Then she heads out for the electrical anomaly.

Kimako returns to the ecologist base after grabbing the artifact (and checking if it's safe) and asks the professor what it does. Then she heads out again looking for the last anomaly on her maps, the electrical one. Then she does the usual, scanning it and tracking the artifact.

Kimako quickly goes back to loot the zombie corpses for their weapons (that they used to shoot her) and their credits. Then she heads back to where she was, and uses her basic detector to find the artifact.

The new metal seems to naturally clump together solid in strange shapes, though it seems to bend and twisted when prodded the right way. Your scientists ask exactly what you want to do to test it, such as poking it with a claw or smooshing it.

Your dragons find an interesting extrusion of flying metal shooting from a cliff face. The researchers ask you what you want to make the armor out of. The Spearmen are quickly killed by the Giant termites. You realise that your soldiers need to be better equipped before moving into the jungle, but that many rewards could be found there. The horses remain small, but your scientists quickly realise that they are very strong and agile, capable of being used for combat, especially since your species has gotten smaller. The Archery academies are set up, but they aren't much better than the regular schooling. The almighty god gives you the first task. "Explore the jungle and find a pond downstream from a large waterfall. Build a shrine in my honor there, so the savages of the jungle can see the truth of my light."

Kimako takes the artifact back, and mysteriously teleports it to Enigma somehow. Then she fires as many clips using the MP5 until the zombie is dead, loots the dead zombies (checking if they're dead), scans the anomaly for the artifact, goes to the artifact, and examines/takes it. Then she returns to the Ecologist base, asking if they would reward her for scans, and asks for medical attention for the leg.

Hey, remember our deal. I could really use something which helps healing. Still going to ask what I can get for it. If it's very useful, then I can trade it and get something else for you later, when I get a more epic suit (infact, I could also give you the old suit).

Your dragons quickly discover that their hands are not adept at using bows. Your researchers suggest armor, which would be far more useful. Incabulos ask if this is your final decision on the matter (it was a 20, so you might not have another change for a while, especially when you start using tools and such), and suggests that the orb has arms and catapillar legs, to better use advanced weaponary. A great sacrifice of pronghorns is held, and pronghorns are given sacrificial holy status. Several temples and a shrine are constructed (temples are smaller than shrines), and monks are sent to man them. The god gives you a preliminary set of directions: Path of Light Rest on Sundays - The Path of Light requires rest after a week of hard work Toil is justice - Only the hard worker deserves fair treatment of his peers Dominion over Nature - Only one who controls nature can control himself Prosperity over Wealth - Only when one feels prosperous can they grow wealthy Peaceful Fridays - No killing creatures with opposable thumbs on Fridays Murderous Covenant - Do not kill, unless it is to prevent the killing of another The God asks you if you would like the chance to prove yourself by fufilling tasks based on each of the tenets of the path of light, along with other random rules he makes up.

Kimako messages the professor that she will have to think about it, but she would still like the information about what he could offer for the artifact. (such as if she could get a free extra slot for artifacts :P) Kimako has a hunch that they are zombies, and stays a fair distance away. She looses three rounds at each of then with her MP5 on accurate. If they die, she makes sure of it, before looting them and scanning the fire anomaly.

The god appears in a flash of blinding light, apparantly stronger than before. He is now a tier 4 god, and will now grant you more powerful abilities. However, you still need to put more favor for that, and you need to treat him well. "I have returned!" he says sagely. The Dragons create a makeshift university which the dragons can use to study. Your dragons figure out how to stalk through the forest to hunt game, though they aren't very good at it. However, your vassals were all exterminated. (Aren't they elementals, not dragons?) (20) The Scathe flood over the rest of the city, despite their efforts of their god, and quickly take it over. As soon as the god leaves, the city begins instantly decaying in response to your own god of decay, who is now tier 2. Incabulos grants your Scathes a permanent form change of your choice, to make them far more efficient at building a powerful empire, as it's rather hard to fight other nations on an even level at the small size your Scathes have.

"Now now Professor, that could be a very useful artifact. I'm going to need some form of payment for it...maybe you could give me an extra artifact slot?" If Kimako does receive that, then she goes wandering off using the basic detectors to the fire anomaly. If not, then she presses the professor for some other reward, like making her protection work against bullets and stuff too, or giving her thousands of coins, or maybe an rpg -hint hint-. Then she goes wandering off with basic detectors for the fire anomaly.

More city guards have appeared. -Mather Your tribe receives many refugees from the Second Goa'uld war that is progressing. -Earth Your population makes a temporary settlement in the temperate forest, though they haven't had any time to reproduce. (No population growth) -Grim A population explosion occurs, increasing your main population to 1000. The people seem eager to forget the war, and your tribe has acquired a distinct culture (generally advantageous). Those skilled in archery have become expert marksmen for their time, though they are still a far cry from the archery skills of Welsh Longbowmen. The spearmen begin to feel tired, after maintaining their circle for hours at the face of a hoard of beasts swirling about them. The survivors of the scouts tell the rest of your population about the situation, and surprisingly, many seem eager to explore the jungle too.

Ah, that's cool. Can I construct more icy things that won't melt? (Like is the area still below freezing?)

(Thanks for going easy on me, for my first artifact) Jen picks up her first artifact carefully, and brings it back to the ecologists, asking them what it does. She also wonders if they are interested in trading for it.

Well we could have a short story about each character from each faction, and then they all meet somehow, in a battle where everyone fought. Only thing I can think of is when the Licht helped invade Turkey, and then Dusty came along, or when the Licht invaded Japan, and Dusty also came along for that.
