## **Freeplay**

**Freeplay game begins** *(randomized)*:

* This society is in its infancy. It must grow quickly if it is to survive.

* In this small corner of the world, the creatures continue their day to day, unaware that a new power is about to rise in the undergrowth.

* The queen has raised her first brood. These loyal subjects will lay the foundations of what could one day be a great subterranean empire.

* Many challenges lie ahead for this new society, but if it meets them it could rise to become a true contender for this patch of the undergrowth.

* This nest may be small, but given a chance, it will grow to become a sprawling underground city.

**Uber creatures appear on the surface** *(randomized)*:

* Somewhere on the surface, a strong creature stirs... It could be devastating to encounter unprepared, but with great risk comes great reward.

* The clutch of death, the dark abyss, the colony's deeds laid bare. There is no escape!
