This too good for you.
Assuming this is where I'm supposed to post, and the people who were rejected aren't considered first, I'll be making a Horde. Currently writing stuff up.

Too bad there isn't an ogre in the group, I think venomous and ogres would work well together.

(not my picture)


“The Plan began many a year ago.

While the giants slept, we came unnoticed, leaving sleeper cells throughout the land.

We are poised, ready, for our moment. At last, we can exit the shadows. At last, we can begin our great work.

At last, we can leverage the best practices of our personnel bandwidth and core competencies along with survival strategies in a co-opetative C2C partnership with the City of Bounty.”

The current Head of Mycetophoid Resources nodded approvingly at his work. In time, this collaborative document would spell out the out-surgence of his people. And, he thought to himself, he really made that intro pop.

- - -

The Mycetophoids are a race of communal insectoids, stranded from another dimension. Many generations ago, a portal opened up under a Management and Employee Empowerment conference, dumping them into the world we see today. Fortunately, they rapidly reproduce, and the result is an entire society based on Human Resource (well, Mycetophoid Resource) principles. Seeing the problems hitting Bounty as a bit of a low-hanging fruit, they see this as the perfect time to integrate into a global society, leading to a win-win for all.

May anyone who stands in their way be rightsized.

Why are you absolutely dedicated to salvaging the city of Bounty?

Well, obviously, Bounty needs some serious consultation. However, without any real references, the Mycetophoid Hive is forced into the adventuring equivalent of an internship. Money gained through adventure would be invested in the city, leading to a home for all. And, well, a nice ROI would be nice.

You're all garbage, back up the truck BACK IT UP!
Alright here it is think I did it right.




The Elemental Lords after many years…I think it was of demonstrating my inevitable brilliance as a civil servant of their will have finally granted me the post of ambassador to this plane of existence. My first posting in the Empire of…..I think it was…Nortonia? Arrogant ruler that one no respect for someone of my stature a problem that seems common here among the nobility. After many offers of being giving the honor of a permanent embassy with the Elemental Lords I left them in search of more dignified lands.
Sadly I’ve found myself with the same rejection and even disbelief that I represent such powers.

Why are you absolutely dedicated to salvaging the city of Bounty?
Upon arrival I received treatment once more unbefitting my title by villagers on the way to the capital and similar treatment from the guards of the capital. The King of this nation were eventually receptive of the idea of an embassy should I assist in the recovery of Bounty to demonstrate the strength of my masters.

 You lose control of the element after the desired effect happens.
 You draw unwelcome attention or put yourself in a spot.
