Title: SNAKES IN THE PLANES
Post by: Lmns Crn on August 18, 2006, 02:27:52 PM
Dojh-oln-beh was the first to fall. Next, Myr was taken by storm, as invaders surged from the Counterfeit Realities. Then in Urbis, attackers burst from beneath the very soil of the Flannish Cities, beginning their conquest from within. Even the myriad worlds of Sooth were crushed underneath the sibilant swarm. Not even the couatl of Xiluh could withstand the mighty armies of their hissing cousins.

What world will be the next casualty? Will it be yours?

Ledies and Gantlemen, we are facing a crisis. These reptilian shock troops seem to be the first wave of an assault force of unimaginable scale, capable of crossing dimensional boundaries, intent on conquering the entire omniverse-- nay, the entire CBG!

We are facing...

I, for one, welcome our new, legless overlords.

Also, snakes are clearly the natural enemies of cabbages. This should be interesting.[/spoiler]

Terrible news had just reached my ears, the Gods of Egridar have created a new pocket dimension and huddled in it for safety, leaving the First Age of Godswalk in ruins!

Careful! A menacing fanged fiend could be lurking anywhere! Even behind the shrubbery next to the local well!

These small children do not realize the peril they are in!

Word from the Valor-verse:

Perann's last hope lies within Northern Vestin, as the rest of the former empire has been united under serpentine rule. One bastion of hope remains on the Tare!

Everyone should have a snake, for those clogged planar pipes.

If I knew how to put an image in a post off the top of my head, this post would be a photoshopped version of Luminous Crayon's snake-by-a-well picture featuring Samuel L. Jackson looming over the mountain in the background, getting ready to blow that snake away with a pistol. But I'm lazy - and overly cautious about copyrights - so you'll have to use your imagination.

On Orden, snakes are rapidly taking over the evil forces of the West. Realizing the peril they are in, the people of the East are once again uniting under one banner, similar to the Dawn of Hope (http://www.thecbg.org/settings/12/history.html) (a rising sun) but this time green rather than golden: the All-Seeing Cabbage rises to the needs of its people and challenges the power of the plane-hopping serpents. A terrible last war seems at hand on Orden, and its fate will now finally be decided. We can only hoop the power of Kool will be great enough to lead the free people of Orden to victory.

Despite my setting (http://www.thecbg.org/settings/134/index.html) subscribing to the Multiverse cosmology (where an alternate universe is created for every possible outcome of everything), and not the standard D&D cosmology, i'm sure those devious beasts would get there eventually.

There are a race of half-lizardfolk elves in my setting that would initially try to keep them as pets, but would find that there are too many to control. They just keep coming and coming.

They'd have to resort to engineering a virus to kill off the swarms. They wouldn't want any motherfrakkin snakes on any motherfrakking airship.

(I know my index page doesn't have any links yet, but it will...soon.)

I think all of the "cosmic"-level snakes should team up.

Just cuz I wanna see Apep and Jormungand tearing up the multiverse together, and arguing about the temperature.

Apep: "It's too damn cold!"
Jormungand: "Are you an ass? It's hot as hell here!"
Belial: "You guys ARE in hell. My hell." *sob*
