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.

In no way am I attempting to exert any control over those works, beyond mentioning them briefly in this silly forums gag.

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!

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!

Don't worry, Steve Irwin is on the case!
Eats brains here! Ugh!
That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.
[spoiler=Cthulhu]"To obtain a deep, restful, and fulfilling sleep, you must first submerge yourself in your cyclopean city of hideous non-Euclidean geometries beneath the sea, and then let your body die. But don't worry! As long as you continue to emanate enough evil thought-energy to influence and control your many worshippers throughout the untold eons, they will resurrect you when the time comes. I guarantee it!" [/spoiler]

Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive."

(as Stegosaurus) "We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."

(as T-Rex) "I think we should call it...your grave!"

(Stegosaurus) "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

(T-Rex) "Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!"

[spoiler=Stanza 11]
No! penury, inertness and grimace,
In some strange sort, were the land's portion. "See
Or shut your eyes," said Nature peevishly,
"It nothing skills: I cannot help my case:
'Tis the Last Judgment's fire must cure this place,
Calcine its clods and set my prisoners free."

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 (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.

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

Despite my setting 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.)

‘Yes, one may live while never leaving their domicile. But then, they aren’t really alive. Exploring, adventuring, becoming a mercenary - whatever one may call it, it is the blood of the world that many are embracing now. Our reach is advanced nearly everyday, and the stars themselves are in our grasp. That is why I, and many others, continue to learn as we do.’

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*
