Scorpius staggers through the Outlands, fighting to survive. His injuries from the Uprising have healed, but numerous cuts and bruises have appeared on his body. He is thin and weak, his clothes in tatters and his weapons constantly drawn to fend off plants and animals.
There's the faint sound of hissing. Slight fog mists the area. The caravan of spiders emerges around Scorpius. Upon a palanquin lays the ivory white spider queen, Spelyne herself. "Scorpius, dear.. Are you finally ready to acknowledge me?" She mocks, her chitin glossy as ever. The tips of her limbs are tinged pinkish red, with rows of pinkish red dots along the limbs, fading into white. She seems.. Different. Bigger. Thinner. More powerful in presence.
OOC: Look who decided to show up... Hey! Good to see you back.
I was an avid reader on the MBs and not a user. You will not recognize me but I will recognize you...

Scorpius warily eyes the spiders around him. He lowers his weapons slightly when they do not attack, but remains poised to bring them up and defend himself. He tilts his head slightly, not bowing fully both because he would likely collapse from fatigue, and because he doesn't want to give would-be assailants any openings. "Your Majesty...what brings you here?"

"A simple stroll, really. What brings you here.. In such a wretched state?" She ponders.

"Traitors, rebellions, and fallen empires." Scorpius responds curtly.
-More distant Plant-Zombie howls and shotgun blasts are heard in the distance, as Forgotten comb the outlands for any suspicious activity that relates to the Ice Hunter or the Combine-
@thefreindoftfd The freed 70% of the scorpion army follows King Scorpio into the Outland jungle from the northwest. They come upon the camps of the Imperial civilians who were evacuated from the Caverns, and those scorpions also bring themselves under the leadership of the new King. The rebuilding of the Scorpion Tribe has begun. Scorpion: "Your highness, should we build the new castle above ground, or underground? I suggest above ground, as our original Cavern Castle was easily caved in."

(OOC: I havent seen a coronation happen, so technically he is not king, yet, so make the coronation next post. ) -Scorpio puases, now realizing his young self must lead whats left of his tribe... he grunts and step up to the occasion.-
Scorpio: “I... really don’t know... i-i mean... sh-should i have an appointed regent to run over for me until i can handle things by my word? But if we are gonna life, we might as well life above ground, we are more vulnerable to enemies, but with our tribe being split, we’ll use all we can to defend what we once fought for; a great outland empire...”
-however, still being under the influence of Scrin, he was unaware of hidden Forgotten influence within the surrounding Outlands...-

Scorpion: "Don't worry, your highness. Most of the Scorpion Tribe has been united under you. The 17 remaining members of the Stinger Brotherhood have been scattered throughout the Iron Mountains and have disappeared, the Braxinites agreed to rejoin us after the rescue from the Glacier, and the mountain dweller colonies are being absorbed back into the Scorpion Tribe as we speak. The only large splinter faction left is the Republic of the Claw, but they're in the inlands and we don't want to start a scorpion civil war, so we'll leave them be unless you disagree."
As the mountain dweller scorpions are guided back into the jungle, construction begins on a giant Scorpion Castle in a large forest clearing. A relatively small tunnel network is dug beneath the site to serve as living quarters until the castle is complete. None of the scorpions go into the tunnels until Scorpio is coronated. Scorpio is officially made Scorpion King on the construction site, and then the scorpions get back to work building the new castle.
The main castle itself finishes construction within several hours, consisting of one tall, square tower with many rectangular windows on its sides, looking like a typical medieval tower, but with many reinforced layers of metal making up its structure and walls. There is a Stinger-copter landing pad on top of the tower, should the King need a quick escape. Due to the size of the tower, the square landing pad is wide enough to fit 8 Stinger copters. Scorpio's throne room and observation deck is deirectly beneath the landing pad.

-Scorpio looks upon his nice castle, it isnt as much as he thought it would, but he would call it home for him and what ever remained of the CE remnants of Scorpions too-

Construction continues on the kingdom and its 4 walls. Miles of Outland plants and trees are cut down to make room for the large kingdom. Kingdom of Scorm'kauras layout: There are 8 smaller towers in a square formation around the main tower, and a courtyard with a wall. A city is built in the courtyard, between the towers and around the main tower, so the first wall encapsulates the whole castle and city. Outside the stone wall with the drawbridge and the moat, there is a second square wall, tall and thick, made with multiple layers of reinforced metals. As there's about a quarter mile between the first two walls, there are buildings built between the walls, mostly armories and military camps. There is a round wall built around the second square wall, made with the same materials, and finally a second, identical round wall with a drawbridge at its front, a moat around it, and 6 heavily armored guard houses in front. Each wall has 50 laser/rocket turrets on top, making 200 turrets in all (230 counting the 2 turrets at the top of each guardhouse and the many turrets on top of the 9 inner towers) There are mines beneath the ground for a mile around the kingdom, and mines beneath the ground in between the 3rd and 4th wall, making 500 mines in total. A giant, laserproof glass dome begins to be constructed on top of the fourth wall. It will cover the part of the kingdom within the wall (so the majority of the kingdom).

(OOC: Cool builds, dude. Would love to see this become a moc-set. If only i can make a Moc Scorpio. ) -Scorpio inspects all of this and feels fine with it, however, there is a still lingering matter of shaky relationships between the Crawler Empire (what remains of it), and the Forgotten... he actively wonders about these issues, thinking deep in thought in his throne room...-

OOC: Just a reminder, the Crawler Empire isn't a thing anymore. Now it's just the Bat Tribe and the Scorpion Tribe, separate from each other.
"Traitors, rebellions, and fallen empires." Scorpius responds curtly.
"How unfortunate, dear." She says with a cruel smile. "Do explain, dearie."
"Two groups of rebels started a war in our home. We were forced to join forces with one in order to defeat the most powerful, but the Scorpion Caverns collapsed nonetheless. Luckily, the majority of both groups were smashed while our civilians escaped, but our home is gone," the general grudgingly continues.
