"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.
"How.. Dreadful. That simple cannot do, can it?" She asks aloud, to the reaffirmations of her generals. "Gather your comrades, any that still remain.. You shall be my guest, in my own home. How would that sound?" She says, to the shock of two of the generals.
-Forgotten Scouts look around for a rumored new Scorpion Castle that has just been building, they comb deep into unexplored territory to find it... searching for any remains of what is left of Royalty-

Scorpius looks dumbstruck by the Queen's decision, but rapidly pulls himself together. "Yes, Your Majesty...I am indebted to you for this kindness. I shall find all that I can."
Scorpius hurries off to gather what scorpions he can find, largely civilians who were separated from the main groups and thus were not taken to the new Scorpion Citadel. Along with a few wounded soldiers who were lost in the Outlands, he brings them back to the Ivory Queen.

She nods, waving a hand. She looks at her generals, once Scorpius was far off. "What can I say, dears? Favors are powerful things. A time of reckoning is upon us. The Woman in White is coming. We must prepare. The Spiders have been low in the past, but no longer. The house of Arachna once fell, and you, dear Spilyia, rose it to glory." She said to the small, geared spider. "Was it not you, Spidrith of Clan Arahkni, who single handedly eradicated House Airos, turning them from the prestigious spiders to the lowly mill workers?" She gave a laugh. "The Spiders will rise. We will collect the chi that we deserve. We will collect the stolen magic. We will rise and rule Chima." She murmured softly, a pink organ darting across white fangs.

Unaware of the conversation, Scorpius continues to hunt for others of his kind. He goes openly, proclaiming his name and position as well as making as much noise as he can by cutting at plants. When they realize that they are being summoned by a High General of the Royal Scorpion Armies, the civilians and soldiers who are hiding in the Outlands soon start to emerge. He collects a few dozen, in varying states. The wounded and ill are sent back to the Spider caravan, while the rest help Scorpius to hunt for more.

As they return, the queen works her magic, tending to the injured herself. Her generals help where they can, which is to say, Spartos stands to the side and watches for animals while the rest help.

The scorpions thank the queen profusely for her assistance. Meanwhile, Scorpius decides that he must have found all of his people in this area, and that it would be best to leave and come back later. He returns to the spiders with the uninjured scorpions. Altogether, the rescued crawlers number around 80.

She nods. "Scorpius, tell me of the other tribes. Will they be a threat?" She asked softly.

She nods. "Scorpius, tell me of the other tribes. Will they be a threat?" She asked softly.
"They may be, yes. Most of them still consider the scorpions to be their enemies, and the bears who attacked the caverns may be back."
She nods. "Scorpius, tell me of the other tribes. Will they be a threat?" She asked softly.
"They may be, yes. Most of them still consider the scorpions to be their enemies, and the bears who attacked the caverns may be back."
"Then, simply put, none can know you all are with me. I cannot allow my tribe to be attacked, unprepared. I also am not running a charity, I will need aid in rebuilding my fortress. It will protect us both. In exchange for a warm place, food and companionship, you must simply help. That is more than fair, yes?"

"Yes, Majesty. That seems perfectly fair." Scorpius glances at his followers, who nod in agreement.

The queen smiles. "Lovely news to hear. My spider forces will rebuild the central palace, if we could borrow some scorpion venom for a few traps? Then, Spidrith will take a group of yours to help with the outlying city, and Spartos will help you all with rebuilding the tunnels. They need to be fortified."
-Forgotten Scouts look around for a rumored new Scorpion Castle that has just been building, they comb deep into unexplored territory to find it... searching for any remains of what is left of Royalty-
They see giant orange fire chi power auras sprouting up through the trees. If the Forgotten scouts follow the colors above, they see a massive army of Scorpions, regrouped after their rescue from the Glacier, reorganized under King Scorpio's regime, and now all wearing identical red and gold suits of Phoenix armor. The army stands outside a huge new kingdom, and the Scorpion Army seems to have to intent other than protecting the Scorpion Kingdom from any Ice Hunters.
