Having the collective Will of over a hundred thousand sentient creatures flowing through you at once is… heady stuff. When all hundred thousand of them are baying for the blood of their ancestral enemies… it’s… difficult to stay level. When Leeroy rocketed off like an idiot it was all I could do not to race in after her. If I’d …

Rassan’tep watched with cold, reptilian amusement as the armoured shock troops of the Colony dove forward, seemingly at random. He had hoped the stand off between the two sides would last longer so he might further study the ants and the disposition of their forces. Knowing what he did now about them, it was far easier to recognise the amount …

“WE ARE BATHED IN HER BENEVOLENT LIGHT!” “WE SEEK!” “WHERE SHE HAS LED, WE SHALL FOLLOW!” “WE SEEK!” “ETERNAL REST! ETERNAL GLORY! IT IS NOW HERS! SOON, IT WILL BE OURS!” “WE SEEK!” The column of Immortals continued to march through the ranks of ants who had parted for them. Towards the front of their formation, the Reliquary of Eternal …

Cardigant, the one who fell, and in falling, achieved true immortality. Her existence, or rather, the lack of ongoing existence, was something amazing to the Immortals, something precious. It was, Leeroy decided, something that could not afford to be lost.  She and her sisters had come so close to losing hope! They had come within an antenna’s width of letting …

Under the soft light of the fourth stratum, with a soft mist rising from the glittering blue waters on the shore, the might of the Colony assembled. They had gathered in strength before, huge armies of ant soldiers, alongside smaller groups of human and golgari, but not quite like this. Half a million ants emerged from beneath the ground and …

Fanatics aside, there’s plenty of stuff going on and not much time in which to get it done. With so many ants furiously working, I decide the best place for me is out of the way on the surface. Well, I say surface, obviously I’m not climbing all the way out of the Dungeon. I head up until I break …

Hah! Felt like something just walked over my grave. Can ants even shiver? That’s weird! Almost as weird as having bones on the inside. I can’t imagine how I ever put up with it. Holy moly, I feel a weird. I’m jazzed up. Got the shakes. I’ve got so much energy, I just don’t know what to do with it. …

A cold wind blew. It cut through the empty street, and through the lone figure who staggered through the chill, a package tucked under one arm. The small person pulled a tattered coat tighter around their slight frame as they looked around, seeking something that they soon found. A familiar sight, a familiar door, though it had looked different in …

The Colony has distinguished itself in battle across its existence, displaying sharp tactics, excellent training and sound strategy at all levels of warfare. Such a thing is highly unusual for a swarming monster type, but the irregularly high levels of intelligence obviously made it possible for the ants to accomplish many things that are atypical. In small numbers, they are …

Yessssss. YESSSSSSSS! Tier six perfection has been achieved. My form. My FINAL form. It has arrived at last! Looking over my status, I admire the wall to wall +30’s. Every mutable organ in my body has reached its peak. Nothing more can be done until my next evolution. Then, the rat race will begin again. At tier seven, it’ll cost …
