Grotar responds, "A fair price for the lives of those puny slaves. I accept."

Also, I can't smite I4 because of that protection domain (there wasn't a settlement on the map when I posted). This leaves me with 11 power remaining, not 4.

Whoops, my new pop total is 118.

The glorious goblin whaling fleets seek larger prey in the southern seas! They are joined my more explorers from those distant cities, linked by magic warps.

In the east, guided by their odd tutors, the forge-masters turn their production into overdrive. Black smoke of goblin forges churn out thick armor for use in the war against the natives of the New World.

In that new world, bloody-minded warlords raise fresh armies of conquistadors, attracted by easy living supported the multitude of native slaves, and seek fresh lands to bring under their banners. The earth shakes under the might of his armies, despite the native offensive that - at great cost - overwhelmed their initial seat of power. Boats take to the sea in an effort to reclaim it, and armies pour forth from conquered, hellish cities to bring the Word of Grotar to the unenlightened natives.

The goblin tribes lurking in the western lands take to the sea, hunting mermaids with harpoons and battle cries!

In the east, the forces of Grotar work feverishly. Word of the New World to the west draws more explorers, and cities celebrate the flow of silver snd slaves coming from the victories there. New fleets sail to the goblin outpost, while the Conquistadors already there face counterattacks from angry natives. In one outpost, defenses are prepared to slaughter the native attackers, while in the second, so recently taken, an approaching army of aboriginals is swallowed up by a massive earthquake. Taking this as divine inspiration, conquistador armies, buoyed by enslaved native soldiers, rush out to spread the Word of Grotar to the benighted natives in their quaint, peaceful cities.

Toward the south, the priests of Grotar flog the warlords into pausing their assaults on the pathetic cities, and armies turn to retake that what was stolen. Grotar replies to the emissary of Celios, messages authored in tumbling stones and cracked earth, "I find your offer acceptable. In return for adjusting those lands, I shall ensure that none of your hunters in the western and southern seas are troubled by my slaves. There is prey enough for both of us there." And to the god of grass, the stones speak, "Grotar accepts your tribute, and your terms. You shall have your peace, and my slaves will leave their blades unstained as you ask... so long as your shapeless mush of a vassal deity or his goopy followers trouble me not, nor his worthless, mewling prey or the prey's droning, tedious servants."

Darjuu receives a less amiable reply, cruel laughter and "Come and get me, if you dare. My slaves are not made so that they melt in the rain. But perhaps you should throw a few buckets at your southern border, fool godling, before your rains dry up."

Except instead of being murdered he was never born. V. existential.

Nah, I had figured out a turn using all my power, and ending with zero, based on getting first post. getting second post rather than first made me unable to build a settler!

Your first post cost me a settler, uta. So it was only fair that I replace that settlement at your expense!

In the east, filthy cities sprawl further and further across the land. Within, slaves work fire-forges churning out armor day and night, and whip-wielding slavers roam the streets hunting for unfortunates to feed lethal iron mines. Desperate for any chance to escape, goblins swarm into the armies of various warlords, each eager to earn more wealth, power, and just maybe Grotar's favor - or at least avoid his ire - by producing greater and greater victories. Soon, the earth groans under the weight of Grotar's armies. Adventurers in fast ships take sail to slaughter beasts, hoping for glory, or at least glorious deaths, while the earth shakes from Grotar's armies as they approach cities that seem ripe for the picking. In the west, there is more settlement, for wood to build fast ships and fuel forges to produce the harpoons required to slaughter mermaids.

In the north, a few vessels find a new land, and goblin explorers plant a flag on the beach, proclaiming, "I claim this land for Grotar!" They immediately set about constructing a settlement, and march into the wilderness to save the souls of the hapless natives. And also enslave them.

Always, the armies chant as they march in step, words to inspire fear, "All will tremble, when Grotar comes."

Also, apparently I have a city that the GM removed by accident and Mogar never bothered to tell him about. Sent me a PM about it, which I just noticed now, and mentioned. It's in A13.

It increases my Power by 4 from it's population.

Turns out that I got how terrain miracles work incorrectly, so that the Armies in Q5 cost 8 rather than 4. So I will skip the Grow action on that city, leaving it with Population 5, and have Remaining Power of 0. Silly Grotar.

RP:
Grotar earns his sobriquet, as his armies gather. The boots of the marching armies shake the earth, and their chants of "All will tremble, when Grotar comes." In fast ships, moving with sail and oar, they slaughter mermaids and gather at coasts to oppose various sea monsters. Grotar demands, "Go east." and so the beats of the drums keep the enslaved rowers moving in time, establishing outposts in new lands.

addendum to the addendum:

It's my first turn, so I am still figuring things out!
Turns out sacrifice is a miracle, rather than a city action! This means that before I get rid of those western towns I can do:
F5: Grow, Advance (gain 2 science)
G5: Grow, Advance (gain 2 science)
H5: Grow, Advance (gain 2 science)

Then I just sacrifice six times instead of three to get rid of em all anyway.

Grotar's blood-soaked cultists praise his name, and when the Mogar is weakened from her foolish overreaching in the West, Grotar strikes. The goddess herself is devoured by He Who Shakes The Earth, her essence consumed and her spirit obliterated. Without their goddess to empower them, her shamans are slaughtered as the followers of Grotar seize power in his name. In the east, the coup is mostly bloodless - at least, by Grotar's standards. Only her priestesses and those who will not submit to Grotar are burned alive. However, smoke clouds the west as the Western Tribes that the thoughtless Mother so foolishly weakened herself creating slaughter themselves in bloody conflict. Grotar, it seems, is less interested in the West, and he bends his powers to reshaping Mogar's weakling civilization into something more suitable. Cowards and runts are driven out into the wastes to thrive or die as they can, while armies gather and ships are built, to bring glory to Grotar through battle against the mermaids and other pests.
