[17.3. - 23.3.] [Campaign] Unrest in Undermine

A news bulletin has been handed out FOR FREE, courtesy of the wonderful Goblin Mail. The most eye catching version is found in Hovel Hill, on the main road.

"Oh the Goblinity! The Gallagio’s Security forces find themselves starved for recruits as Goblins begin to refuse good paying work! Undermine’s residents and Cartel visitors find themselves shocked as the Big G’s team starts to thin out!

Anonymous sources indicate to us that radio stations are being hacked and honest attacked on a whim by aggressive, partisan forces who want to undermine our society with their Fake News! They say everyone is sick of Gallywix! But everyone loves the Big G!

If you’s see any trouble out there, contact us immediately, or your local, friendly and respectable Darkfuse agents. We have been also told the pay is lucrative to inform these lovely folks."

The newspaper stack has been massively defaced from here and replaced with a more accurate news poster above

“Gallywix is a tyrant! We rose up once before against people who worked us like slaves, and how he’s trying to crown himself king! Rise for your free-”

The defacement has been smeared red and covered in grey dust.

OOC:

Greetings Goblins, Cartel members and general caught-up tourists! We invite you to experience the thrills, oil spills and excitement we aren’t legally liable for as Undermine rises up! Join us for a week of events from the 17th - 23rd of March as we build up and enact the events leading up to the Liberation of Undermine!

Each day, you’ll find social or DM’d activities to aid in the revolution! Be on the receiving end of the call to action, read the papers, listen to the activists, deliver the newspaper, be an activist, become part of grand speeches, tear down abandoned Darkfuse machinery! Don’t let the Darkfuse oppress you! What about your family? Your future!?

Want to contribute but the only language you know is violence? Protect the events and rioters, run weapons, weaponise anything you can find, beat up Gally’s Goons and retake the streets for Goblinity (and yeah, everyone else in the Cartel employ).

Citizens of Undermine and heroes of both factions are welcome, with hosting aimed at both factions. We are also welcoming DMs of all styles and interests to join us in telling their story as the Goblins rise up!

Don’t like riots? Contact us to be Anti-Riot Enforcement today!

We’ve got most of the week planned! Help with setting up more events will always be welcome on account of us not being sure if we should expect a turnout of up to 40, 80 or 120 each day! The events don’t have to be overly complicated, holding a speech, rally, musical performance what have you is enough. Dismantling inert mechs is fine too though! The important thing is that everybody’s having a good time!

We’re* personally excited either way!

There are now officially events every day! Furthermore it’s possible your friendly neighbourhood goblins are hosting events of their own unannounced. Stay social to stay informed!

We will soon begin announcing events right before they happen! Keep your eyes sharp and your ears peeled! Or was it the other way around?

Last-second DMs are welcome, especially for the final 2 days as the riots reach their climax!

From tomorrow, we invite Goblinity (and their cartel members or direct allies) to begin a public campaign that will cover the events of the 11.1 story quests and raid! We’ll be running events each day this week. You can find out more details in the OP with a link to our timetable.

Events will escalate as the campaign goes on if you’re wondering what kind of RP will be available. Please check the next spoiler to find out more!

Spoilers - Timescales!

In the earliest days, we’ll show dissatisfaction and tension against Gallywix and his Darkfuse goons. From Wednesday and Thursday, outright tension and small forms of unrest will begin to break out. Over the weekend, we’ll begin showing full civil resistance in the street, culminating in events depicting the main revolt over the final days

You can keep track of overarching story beats in the forum thread or via the various Undermine and Goblin discords. Please note that as a result of there being multiple existing communities and these events not being directly organised by any of them, we’ll be not using any of them as a signup hub/main discord.

Please contact a DM or check the events link to find signup forms where a DM requires one. To find out more or help out, message gizlek, mr.illogical, aldric1996 or tcgonbikes on discord!

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow onward!

not attending, just here to wish you all the best with the event.
It’s nice to see the gobbo community be more active!

My condolences go ta the family an’ next of kin, yadda, yadda, ya get the idea!"

“That’s the news fo’ today folks, now before we continue with our program, here’s a word from our sponsor - Darkfuse Enforcement!”

Those who have been rping the citizens of the Undermine had a prelude event to the campaign, see the summary here!

16/03/25 The First March
A riot was held by some of the citizens of Undermine after the death of Renzik and a Darkfuse shakedown of one of the popular establishments, the Diamond Lounge. Gallywix, now referring to himself as ‘The Chrome King’ has been being more blunt and violent on enforcing his rule among the other cartels, running attacks on all four districts and trying to implant himself into all of them. A group of rioters among Undermine locals , Foreign intelligence operatives and tourists in the area tried to run a riot to knock back the Darkfuse, and whilst it caused a spark to rise, that spark was quenched by the appearance of the Darkfuses new secret weapon, The Black Blood arsenal. To clear the protesters, Black blood like smog was poured into the courtyard of the Gallagio, forcing the rioters to retreat. They now seek to go back and respite and recover, and try to find a way forward to hit it back at the gallagio, to pinpoint more precise strikes before trying a more open movement again to the Gallagio itself. One of the Aerial pilots firing Blackblood on their way to the Gallagio, was captured and is being held in the basement by the Diamond Lounge for questioning.

Bring on the revolution! Looking forward to co DMing this with all you guys

Oh, and before I forget!

Click Me for a transcript of last night's speech

"When the Trade Princes of our Cartels wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of fair Business dealings, they were signing a promissory note to which every Goblin was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all Goblins — yes, Hobs as well as Gil — would be guaranteed the unalienable rights to mandated breaks and the right to pursuit profit.

It is obvious today that Gallywix has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as the citizens of this city are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, Gallywix has given us a bad check, a check which has come back marked insufficient funds.
Meanwhile he sits on a golden throne made from OUR labor, while his pockets overflow!

We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.
We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this city. And so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

I have come to this spot to remind Undermine of the fierce urgency of now. This ain’t the time to sit back and let the bigwigs count their gold while we count the hours ‘til our next meal!

This ain’t what Gritzi Boomwallet fought for! This ain’t what old Wazik the Wise meant when he said, ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch, but there’s gotta be a fair one!
This ain’t what Abe Lincloth Stood for when he sat down!
And I can tell you with certainty ‘The Shiv’ wouldn’t tolerate this and neither should you!

I am here today, standin’ on this pile of scrap, to tell ya—enough is enough!

I have a scheme! A scheme where goblins ain’t workin’ 24-hour shifts for no pay, no respect, and no benefits! A scheme where we ain’t gettin’ squished under the fat, gold-lined boots of a greedy trade prince who hoard every last copper while we sweat in the mines, factories, and Kaja refineries!
I have a scheme that one day, no goblin will be forced to choose between eatin’ a moldy rat or payin’ rent on a overpriced hovel that’s barely standin’! That one day, we won’t have to pay Gallywix’s ‘walking tax’ just to set foot on our own streets! That one day, the workers of the Vatworks, The Heaps, and Hovel Hill will rise up and say—“We ain’t cogs in your profit machine no more!”

I have a scheme that one day, the goblin who makes the bombs will be treated as well as the goblin who sells ‘em! That the one who digs the mines will get some of the profit that comes outta them! That we won’t have to bribe, swindle, or backstab just to survive—‘cause honest work will finally pay!

I have a scheme that one day, the oppressed, overworked goblins of Undermine and beyond will stand shoulder to shoulder, raise their wrenches, their dynamite, their ledgers, and demand a fair cut!

And when that day comes, when that rebellion rises, when the chains of wage slavery are shattered, when no goblin fears eviction from their own hovel, when every workshop and factory pays fair—oh, what a BOOM that’ll be!

So I say to you, my brothers and sisters—will we take this lying down?

NO!

Will we let Gallywix and his cronies count their riches while we scrape by?

NO!

Will we work ‘til our fingers fall off for NOTHIN’?

NO!

Then rise up! Strike! Sabotage! Take what’s owed! For no goblin is truly free ‘til we are ALL free!

For profit! For fairness! FOR THE WORKERS!"

-Marty Looter Bling Jr., half an hour prior to his assassination at the hands of a Darkfuse Riot Control Drone.

Breaking Nog 20/03/25

A small group of Goblins and topsiders lead by Zizzee Felrocket took the chance of the Darkfuse being away with the Hovel Hill attack to sneak into hostile turf and take down a black blood repository deep within the Vatworks, taking down various containers filled with the vile substance and stopping it from fueling a flying Blackblood superweapon that had dispersed the last attempt at a riot. The group succeeded in detonating the repository and using it to destroy the weapon in the chaos that followed.

By destroying a large source of Black blood weaponry from the Darkfuse arsenal, the goblins of the Undermine hope this will ease the danger facing them during the upcoming march.
