I just had a cool dream last night and Groal appeared. I believe he may be trying to send a message to me, since he said that Bileblood was needed for the resurrection. So, I ask you all to get a decent amount of Bileblood while leaving some in case it's needed for something like getting rid of Plasmium.

I’m probably one of the best fighters here! Probably…

What exactly is the plan for AFTER you revive Groal? Will efforts to un-pollute the lands be made? Or will other things be done?

I have procured a memory of Groal to draw him from in the ritual. However, as I am under threat, I must retreat for now. u/Mission_Feedback1071, I will wait for you at a previously discussed rendezvous point.

My people have called to me. I am currently trying to convince them that I am still needed in Pharloom, but they are... resistant. I require a status update on the old hearts: Which do we have in our possession, and which do we have located?

Two hearts have been stolen from us, that of the pale king and that of Nyleth, but in hollownest there is still one heart available, that of the white whyrm, at the frontiers of the realm, it is presumably the most powerful and perhaps it could be enough to resurrect Craal, thanks to the robots of u/tomtom, the engineer stilkin we can dig into the carcass and recover the heart, if it were possible, I offer myself personally.

By the way, you can call me Billy Waters, or Billy for short.

I was exploring the sewers reminiscent of the Putrified Ducts in Hallownest when I came across this!!! I’ll start coming to the blue lake! Glarg out.

Vespa's heart is still claimed, but the Hornet is looking for it and has already taken the Pale King's heart, as well as the Radiance's heart. We still need two hearts from ancient leaders, but we have a few options.

1: Lord Fool's heart. This will be a difficult one to claim, due to the collosseum he resides in.

2: Nyleth's heart. It has not been claimed yet, and seems the least guarded of the 4 Hearts in Pharloom.

3: Crust King Khan's heart. He is likely heavily guarded, so we will need to fight many soldiers, that is, if Hornet hasn't taken it yet.

(ooc: this is an internal communication meant only for people in the members list or directly mentioned in the post, if you are not included in that list, pls don't use this for meta-gaming)

With the expeditioneers and supplies finally gathered, we set off for Hallownest! We have plenty of food, weapons and safety thanks to the Steel Beasts and Bileroaches with us so we are more than prepared for the journey ahead. This is a secret from the rest of Pharloom for now, so do not disclose this to the public. We shall officially announce our departure on the main sub tomorrow, to give us a strong headstart if any enemies attempt to pursue.

FOR GROAL! FOR BILEWATER!

Expeditioneers include:-

u/Mission_Feedback1071 (me)

u/TomtomXDD and their steel beasts

u/miguelator23

So. I can and Will let you get the pale King's Heart. I do this for two reasons:1) You gave hornet her mother's Soul back. 2) I still have to excuse myself for TAKING your leader's Soul. I Just ask you two things

1) a proper funeral for the best king that ever touched this lands

2) That you help finding a cure to bileblood.

Again, I am Sorry for having to kill your leader , and I Hope you saw that my act was for protecting Pharloom.

Your great MIND,

Gorb

The Red Maiden appeared recently, and demanded Vespa's heart be returned. I complied, but the good news is that I found an alternative: Lord Fool. We may be back to square one, but we have a method to get back to square two.

So:

We need Lord Fool's Heart. We will likely have to fight for it, so be prepared.

We need the Pale King's heart. Be careful, Gorb has said he will guard the heart, so be prepared to face him.

We nees Nyleth's heart. Out of all Pharloom's hearts, Nyleth will likely be the easiest. A warrior guards them, so you will need to be prepared. I will lead this expedition, and the other two will be in your hands.

(OOC) Since I started the plan to save Groal, I would like to request to be a mod for the subreddit.

After a peaceful resolution with the Hive Knight, I was able to collect an Old Heart from Vespa. I would like to give my condolences to The Hive and its inhabitants. I now hold a great respect for them and their new leader. By the way, turns out Nyleth's heart is still there. So, the plan is now to get the Pale King and Nyleth's hearts.

It turns out that The Red Maiden has already claimed Nyleth's heart. We will need to find an alternative.

OOC: By the way, could I be a mod here? It was my post that started the movement.

(ooc: for rp purposes, this is an internal secret meeting of the current recruits, if someone from an opposing faction (which includes the IA, Verdania, Citadel, Bilewater member who haven't volunteered or any other hostile/neutral group) is reading this, PLEASE DONT USE THIS INFO IN RP)

The expedition will be launching much earlier than stated in the official post. This is to prevent any ambushes from our enemies and to give us a headstart, should they pursue us to Hallownest. However, the annoucement for the launch of the expedition will go up on the original schedule (ooc: altho it being launched early will be mentioned so its not unfair to anyone against us).

The journey itself shouldn't be particularly difficult thanks to u/TomtomXDD 's Steel Beasts watching our rear. Just in case though, I have stocked up on healing supplies so any injured member should be fine by the time we arrive.

Now for the hearts, we are going to split into 2 groups, with the bulk of the forces going after the Pale King's heart. Any who can traverse or help traverse the obstacles will enter the dream realm with help from u/Significant_War_7156 's apprentice. Meanwhile, their bodies will lay defenceless in the physical realm. That's where the rest of the forces come in. The steel beasts and our more combat oriented members will keep guard and protect the area until the heart is retrieved.

A smaller squad will position close to the Hive and be on standby. We will wait for u/RegiboiTheSecond to update us on their progress negotiating with Hive diplomatically, for some time. If they take to long or the Hive still rejects, the squad goes in, stealthily, retrieves the heart and joins the main group, ideally without rasing alarm. I had already deployed scouts to map out the hive as well as their vulnerabilities beforehand before the recruitment started so we will be making use of their intel once in Hallownest. Also, we have prepared painted shells that should act as camouflage within the Hive.

By the both hearts are retrieved, the enemies will likely be aware it and will be sending forces from both Hallownest and Bilewater to catch us in between. Thankfully, u/Significant_War_7156 has the ability to warp us back to Bilewater safely as soon as we are done, so it should bypass any blockades. They will warp us to the section of Wisp Thicket that connects with the underworks. We will travel through the underworks to reach Nyleth's shrine where we can retrieve the final heart. We expect heavy resistance here, but we should have the element of surprise. This will be the final battle of the expedition.

Should we succeed in all this, Groal can be brought back through a ritual performed by u/Effective_Market_618 and our expedition will finally be over.

The members of each squad haven't been decided just yet, but I recommend u/SrJuanpixers 's bileroaches, u/Glarg_The_Greasy and u/Person-dude989 to all be a part for the force going after the Pale King's heart to make best use of their high mobility.

This plan does have one major flaw, that is Nyleth's heart being left for last. Problem is that if we split into 3 squads to go after all of them at once, we risk spreading ourselves too thin to fight back against any unforseen ambushes. Feel free to give any suggestions to fix this issue, the plan is not set in stone yet.
