You open your mouth to say something."Ser Bubbles, As your-"You freeze when you see it, and you just gaped.The three crystals set into the golem's head were pure, deep red, pulsing organically.The golem bowls you over, and then pins you in place. "I am not your Ser Bubbles, Girl." It says, in a husky, staccato voice, and you notice that the golem's limbs spasming randomly, as if it were malfunctioning, or broken. "Now, I don't want to harm anything or anyone, so call your bear off before I have to kill it."
>>19469341Who are you and why are you in my Golem?
>>19469341"Settle down, Grayson. What do you want, then? And who are you? A remnant of Eidolon?"
Too late for grayson to help anyways."Grayson, please remain calm. Who are you? Did you transfer your mind into the golem?"
"Settle down, Grayson." You say, and the bear huffs, but stays where he is. "Who are you?""I am just an impulse." He said, and his head twitches. "That's all I am. Now- use your sorcery to give me a body of my own."
>>19469399You could have asked politely, I would have said yes. I can't do that very well when you've pinned me like this.
>>19469399"'Just an impulse.' That's really not helping your case much or helping me understand what you are. What did you do to Ser Bubbles, and why are you living in his head?"
"I'm inclined not to, whoeveryouare. The first thing you did was wait for everyone to leave and then jump on me! I am a little insulted by that, even if you meant no harm by it."
"You could have asked politely." You say. "I would have said yes."The golem puts the point of two of it's legs to your throat, and you feel them start to draw blood."Pleeeease?" He asks, almost mockingly."What did you do to Ser Bubbles, and why are you living in his head?""Your pet is. . sleeping." He said. "I've overpowered him."

>>19469440"Get your claws off me, you damn dirty fey! I'm the only sorcerer you know of in this entire world. You can't bully me with simple physical threats, because you NEED me. So off. Off! I die, you don't get a body. You have nothing to gain continuing to press those blades into my throat. In addition, it's uncomfortable, and the blood is staining my dress.">>19469451>>19469473Seconding these. That's enough to technically be a success normally. But I doubt whoever this is is going to be pleased and we're going to be drained from stuffing him into an alternative phylactery. I don't dare roll and add to this total.
rolled 55 = 55Why don't we just trap him in those totem things that Raziel has?
rolled 97 = 97>>19469537Because an evil spirit inhabiting the body of a cute little rabbit is amusing.
>>19469537Because we don't have a totem? Unless you want to include making one on the spur of the moment.Which I guess is how it wall works.
>>19469451>>19469473>>19469537It seems our rolls are very average today...
>>19469537>Those totems can only contain spirits, but their big thing is that they *need* to be made out of the spirit's bone from when they were alive."Get your claws off me, you damn dirty fey! I'm the only sorcerer you know of in this entire world. You can't bully me with simple physical threats, because you NEED me." You say, growling."No, I do not need you." It says. "Raziel is a necromancer, and is deeply in love with her brother. It would not be hard to convince her that raising you under my control would help him fall in love with her. I could kill you freely, and your sorcery would come back with your spectre.""I'll do it." You say, and he climbs off of you, one of his legs folded underneath his body, making him walk with a strange, seven-legged gait.You close your eye, and conjure a shape, focusing. . It's almost impossibly complex for you to imagine, but you concieve of a small, weak, white rabbit, and with a pulse of magic. . you bring it into existence.Your muscles ache, and your legs give out, as you pant and fight for air. . The golem examines the small, braindead rabbit. . "Good enough." It says, and red lightning starts arcing from Impulse's crystals, and the golem's legs give out from under it.
rolled 15 = 15>>19469541I'm just concerned that whatever it is, it will be powerful even in a weak body
rolled 53 = 53>>19469558Probably, that's why not that it doesn't have a leg at our throat we are going to crush it into a little smoosh of magical paste and tear its spirit into shreds.
>>19469541>>19469553Hey Exabyte. Can we use that 97 to gimp his magical capacity as that bunny?
>>19469586>Certainly. Consider his magical capacity gimped to 3% of what it would normally be.When you rest for a moment, get your breath back, and push yourself back up, you see. . The golem is inactive, the crystals in its head dark, and the rabbit is looking around with an eerie, wary . . intelligent look. He takes a few steps this way, and then that way, stretching his limbs. The rabbit's eyes are pure red- you must have made it an albino.
rolled 1 = 1>>19469600Activate Bubbles again.

rolled 85 = 85>>19469607Oops
>>19469611Should make it out of oricharum and enchant it to magically nullify anything inside of it and weaken it?
You brush a hand over Bubbles, and try to reactivate him. The crystals light up. . but dim again, as it runs out of power. The golem clangs loudly. . Raziel and Ell both climb back up the stairs, still talking. Raziel is carrying a long, orichalum staff, engraved with ritual circles and glyphs."Lady?" Ell asks. "What's going on?"
>>19469627Some freaky thing possessed Ser Bubbles, he wanted a body, I put him into that small bunny over there.
"Some freaky thing possessed Ser Bubbles, and wanted a body." You say. "I put him into that small bunny, over. . ." You look back, a hand raised to point at the small white rabbit. . But it's gone.Damn it, you shouldn't have looked away!
>>19469600Well. He might be able to... What, cast a cantrip or two? Plus, that's not considering the fact that he's got paws. PAWS. Paws are not good for somatic components. Buck teeth are not good for verbal ones. Though if he's an intuitive caster that might not be a problem... But being a bunny might kind of kill your willpower. And will to live.>>19469607What is with all the fucking HAUEHAUEAHUEHA endings as of late? Dear God.>>19469627"That little rabbit contains... SOMETHING. I don't know what. It's some form of very angry, very hostile spirit which was possessing Ser Bubbles. And now Ser Bubbles' batteries are dead. I don't know if they can be recharged now. You happy now, whoever or whatever you are? You put Ser Bubbles into a coma, all because you couldn't just ask me nicely for a body! So now you get to be a bunny. A bunny that cannot cast magic worth a damn."
>>19469652Implying implications.Grab our 3d compass and align it to that bunny we made. Shouldn't be too hard since we're the one that made it. I'm afraid it will later posses much more powerful body to posses.
You push yourself up, ignoring your aching legs that refuse to move properly, and pulld yourself toward the 3D compass. You pull it out of it's socket, and attune it to the rabbit.It points. . downwards. It's either in the ship itself. . or underneath.You look over the edge of the airship and see. . The Jormungandr is over a lake.
>>19469700"It's either splattered against the water, drowned in it, or it's in a lower deck. The latter is obviously the most likely. Find that rabbit! Leave no stone unturned!"

rolled 32 = 32>>19469700try and ask Jormungandr if the rabbit is still on the ship. i want this ship to live
rolled 46 = 46>>19469735Let me help you
rolled 62 = 62>>19469735>>19469742Once more
>Creating a living being, even if it's weak, is very draining because of it's complexity. Not to mention, you only rolled an average of 55 when it came to conjuring it. So you're low on magic."It's either splattered against teh water, drowned in it, or it's in a lower deck." You say. "The latter is obviously the most likely. Find that rabbit! Leave no stone unturned!""Lady, the ship is huge. How are we going to find it?" Ell asks.Your legs wobble again, and you lean on Grayson as you push yourself up, and you grab the crystals on your hip, draining them of energy.In the distance, you see an airship approaching- one sleek, silver, and without sails.
rolled 31 = 31>>19469748>>Creating a living being, even if it's weak, is very draining because of it's complexity. Not to mention, you only rolled an average of 55 when it came to conjuring it. So you're low on magic.Yeah. That's why I said to get power from crystals or from the ship. Why are you ignoring that?
>>19469748"Oh, what now? Can this nonsense really get any worse? Ell, who does that ship belong to?"
>>19469768because i think that crystal is currently keeping us in the air. that might not be true, and we may be able to slowly lower us into the lake, but then the rabbit might get off easier
rolled 52 = 52>>19469748>>19469768And since we're still on the Weave, there's no danger that the ship will fall down due to lack of power.So grab some power and send air elemental/s after it
>>19469748"With the compass. We can at least determine if it's still on the ship."
>>19469780The crystal keep a massive ship afloat for great stretches of distance and for many days. I doubt that drawing power from it till we are full would take even 1/3rd of all it power. And even then, we're on the Weave.And if we weren't, there is still my question why our crystals weren't used.
>>19469801>>You just used them, last post."With the compass." You say, and notice the ship in the distance. "Oh, what now? Can this nonsense really get any worse? Ell, who does that ship belong to?""It's. . . crafter design." He said, as the ship approached. "So in it are probably either Crafters, or Keepers. It's a council airship."You grab the extra power from your crystals, and feed them into a few air elementals. Seek the white rabbit, you impress on them, and they fly down below decks, searching.
>>19469832The ship might be just passing through. We're on the Weave after all, it's like highway for the airships. Nothing suprising about seeing them fly by.Make sure we don't come too close to it lest the bunny jump over to it.Also, recharge our crystals drawing the power from the Ships crystal. recharge the ship's crystal through the Weave.
>>19469832"But why is the Council after us? Do they have a signal flag system, something by which we can communicate?"
Do not let them come near enough for the rabbit to change ship. Keep the ship at shouting distance.
"But why is the council after us?" You ask. "Do they have a signal flag system, something by which we can communicate?""No, we just. . get close and call out." Ell says, frowning. "But they'd be waving at us, if it was us they're going for. Let's just let them pass.""We can't come to close to it, lest the bunny jump over to it." You say, and look down to the compass. It's still pointing straight down. . and you're moving, so it must be below deck.You close your eyes, and check on the elementals. One drifts around Lewin, staying out of his way while the ranger carries another cot. The second is checking the empty cargo hold. .nothing.The third checks the power crystal. .and finds the rabbit, one of Ell's orichalum tools in it's mouth. It twitches it's head, and bangs the tool into the crystal.The ship shudders and shakes.
"It is sucking power from the ships crystal! Don't use spells to stop it, it might eat them!"
>>19469899Send everyone after it.Have the elementals stop it.>>19469928I think it is trying to break the crystal.
>>19469899It's a bunny. Snatch it. Failing that, stomp it to death.
"It is sucking power from the ship's crystal!" You say, as the ship starts to fall out of the sky. "Don't use spells to stop it- it might eat them!"The council ship stops next to you, and you see three crafters hold out their gauntlets- they shoot tendrils of light, and start holding the ship aloft."Are you damaged?!" The helpful crafters ask.You urge your elemental to snatch the rabbit, and it does- before the rabbit bangs the same tool into the elemental's 'flesh' of air- All of the elemental's energy is drained in a moment, sucked into the Jormungandr's power crystal.
Pour more magic into the elementals to make them faster and more dexterous.Grab the damn bunny.
rolled 53 = 53>>19469899The solution is obvious. We blast him with some fairly mundane magic. That magic being a blast of plain old boiling hot flesh-melting steam to cook him alive, something he'll be hardpressed to avoid and can't block with no real spellcasting capabilities, which will not hurt the crystal.
Mentaliate to everyone who has the rings to grab it.
>>19469961"Raise your shields! We have a magical monstrosity on board that cannot be allowed to escape, and it will devour your ship's magic if it gets near anything vital!"Speaking of which, raise our own shields in reverse. This fuck isn't getting out of here.
>>19469961Ok, everyone get down there, tell them to take it down, kill it with brute kinetic energy if possible, it seems to eat magic.
"Raise your shields! We have a magical monstrosity on board!" you cry back, and one of the crafters nod, creating a shimmering sphere around the sleek ship."Ell, raise our own shields, but in reverse." You say, and he runs over to the ship's wheel, creating a shield around you.The rabbit hops back into view, up from below deck. . and then talks."You looked a bit tired." The rabbit says. "So I figured I would upgrade my body on my own."It shrugged. "But for that, I needed power. Decided to steal it from the Weave. You don't mind, right?"
rolled 4 = 4>>19470011"Yes. I do."Stop that monstrosity!
>>19470011"Just what on earth are you?"Ha ha, as if I need to ask out of character. It's the fucking ogre, isn't it? Raziel botched the totemcarving.
rolled 10 = 10>>19470011Ask who he is, mentally tell to get Fellwind here and STAB IT WITH HIS SWORD.
>>19470021Seems like it.
"Yes." You say. "I do."You feel a pulse of magic come from the rabbit."I also ate a few of those crystals on the elf's workbench." The rabbit adds, and shrugs again."You what?!" Ell cried, and raised his own gauntlet."Just what on earth are you?" You ask."I'm an impulse." The rabbit said. "One with a body. . although one with hands would be better."<Fellwind, get up here, and get out your sword!> You cry through the ring.Raziel raises her staff. "I can take it out with a spell." She says.
rolled 26 = 26>>19470021Nah, I think it was deep within Bubbles long ago. Remember when we asked why it is so devious and it replied "Fascination?">>19470011God damn, have eveyone stop it! Lewin, Fellwind ,the birds. Everyone!
>>19470043It seems to eat magic, if you do anything do it small and evaluate the situation before you throw more magic at it.
rolled 71 = 71>>19470021Nah, I think it was inside Bubbles long ago. Remember when we asked why he is so devious and it replied "Fascination"?>>19470043We made the body and we should be able to unmake it
>>19470044[huh, I thought this post didn't make it through. I submitted it before the latest update.]
Iron. IRON. WE NEED IRON. WHERE IS THE IRON ON THIS SHIP?
rolled 3 = 3It was trapped inside Bubbles. Perhaps that is the only way to keep it down?
"It seems to eat magic." You say. "If you do anything, do it small."She nods, and starts whirling the staff above her head."No, that's stupid." The rabbit says. "I only ate the crystals so that I can touch them, in case I need a quick spell or two. Why are you so antsy?" It asks.A shimmering ogre, very transparent and opaque, appears, and brings it's maul down onto the rabbit. It leaps out of the way, faster than you thought it would be.
>and opaque>What is wrong with me, i meant the EXACT OPPOSITE of that
rolled 84 = 84>>19470079Put our hand on the deck and use our signature spell to semi-transform the wood into elementals. Having the deck sprout hands or just tentacle like tendrils to grab it, make them small and fast instead of big and strong.
>>19470079TWO vampire magi?!
>>19470079WE HAVE TO USE THE HOLY HAND GRENADE!
You kneel down, and put your hand on the ground. You make the wood sprout hands, and grab the rabbit. The 'impulse' is caught, and pinned by the strong, wooden hands that reached out of the Jormungandr's deck."This is mildly uncomfortable." The rabbit said, apparently unphased. "Would you mind letting me go?"
>>19470120"No.Not before at least you tell me what you did to Ser Bubbles and who you are!"We should try to drain it from magic using the deck-hands as conduit
>>19470120Not until we know more about who you are, what your intentions are and you stop running about the place wreaking havoc in your adorable bunny body.
>>19470120I would mind very much.Where did you come from, what are your goals, and why did you mess with my ship>I'm worried about just killing the rabbit, it might let it go free, so keep it bound until Fellwind gets here and stabs it to death with his magic sword.
>>19470120Start cutting into his throat like he did ours with our branchhands. Really put the squeeze on him. Make sure his limbs can't move for somatic spell components.
>>19470139>>19470144whoalets not be so cruel right now. The fact that it is so calm makes me thing it has some aces up its sleeves
"No." You say. "Not before at least you tell me what you did to Ser Bubbles and who you are!" You say, stretching the wood around the rabbit's body, stopping it from moving even a single muscle.". . Fine." It said, and grumbled to itself. "I was dying. So I did a little bit of . . necromancy. Put myself inside of your pet. I didn't know I would run into a sorceress, so. . impulsively, I got you to make me a new body."Fellwind, Lewin, and Ezekiel rushed out. . and the crafters from the other ship shot blasts of magic at the ogre spectre, blowing it apart.
>>19470167"And who or what are you, exactly?"
>>19470167What were you before you died and became and "impulse"? Could you give me a good reason not to kill you?
>>19470167"Who were you before you died?"
>>19470167"Then WHO are you? If you are an impulse, what impulse is this and who did it belong to? And what do you intend to do next?"
>>19470167Make sure we aren't running our of energy, if we are then have someone bring us crystals. Hold it tighter, make the hands bigger and stronger.>>19470185>>19470187>>19470188these and ask it why Bubbles wont activate anymore.
>>19470167"Wrong magical monstrosity, gentlemen! I JUST fixed that! Just... Ugh. Be at the ready, but calm down. The monstrosity in question is under control, for now. Thank you for your help.""Why were you dying? Why did you invade Ser Bubble's body rather than anything else? Are you or aren't you a maddened eidolon of Eidolon? And perhaps most importantly of all, why were you trying to kill us all, including yourself, by damaging the ship's primary crystal, and are you going to try doing it again if I let you go free?"
"Wrong magical monstrosity, Gentlemen! Just . . The monstrosity in question is under control, for now. Thank you for your help."The crafters salute, and continue on their way, deactivating their shield."Who were you before you died, and became an impulse?""Just your normal, every day spellcaster." It said. "One so scared of death, that she tore her spirit from her ailing body and put it into a golem.""What do you intend to do next?""I have no idea." It said, and craned it's neck."Why won't Bubbles activate anymore?""Out of power, obviously. Transferring a spirit to another body isn't as easy as all that." The rabbit said.
>>19470206Let's not actually mention Eidolon by name ourselves. If we do, it means we're willing to believe that it is him, which means if it isn't him he knows exactly which lie to use.
>>19470218>"Just your normal, every day spellcaster." It said. "One so scared of death, that she tore her spirit from her ailing body and put it into a golem.""That's not an answer. And an ordinary spellcaster wouldn't be able to do this.""Why did you act only now? What made you wake up?""Since you were in Eidolon's creation it is not far off to assume that you died while at his hand... right?"
"Why were you so aggressive? Could you not have talked before attacking me? As I already said, I would have given you a body anyway."
>>19470218Did you have a name?What do you know about sorcery and sorcerers?Why was your first reaction to threaten me and my bear, then running off and eating part of my ship?
rolled 69 = 69>>19470218"And what name did this spellcaster have?"Activate a spell to check for lies.
You close your eyes, and with a force of will, you expel energy to check for lies- it isn't as perfect as the orcish Queen's, but it should work well enough for this conversation."Did you have a name?""Yes, I did. But it's no longer my name, I choose to believe." Truth."What do you know about sorcery and sorcerers?" "Nothing but theory," Half-truth. "And what I've learned by observing you." Truth."Why was your first reaction to threaten me and my bear, then running off and eating part of my ship?""I had nothing to give you in trade," Lie."So I assumed if I didn't want to trade anything, I would have to threaten you." Truth."And I needed magical power in order to give myself a *real* body. The ship is intact, nobody died, and the weave returned all the power I took." Truth."Why did you act only now? What made you wake up?""Your pet woke me up." Truth. "Any more questions?"
>>19470278If I choose to let you go would your actions be hostile or harmful towards me or my crew?Do you know where you would go, and if so where?How long ago did you die?How did Ser Bubbles wake you up?
>>19470278"How did it wake you up?""Also, I do not believe that you didn't have anything to trade. Why so greedy?"
"If I choose to let you go, would your actions be hostile or harmful towards me or my crew?""Not directly, if at all." Truth."Do you know where you would go, and if so, where?""A bit of an idea. . but I'm not certain exactly where it is. Things could have changed since I went away." Half truth.You suddenly have the strangest feeling that the rabbit might be manipulating your spell somehow, but you feel no magic coming from it."How long ago did you die?""Years and years, but I didn't count them while I was asleep." Truth."How did Ser Bubbles wake you up?""There would be no words to explain it- not in this tongue, at least." Truth."I do not believe that you didn't have anything to trade." You say. "Why so greedy?""I could give my loyalty, or even my knowledge. . but those are mine. I did not wish to trade them, even for a body."

>>19470344>"I could give my loyalty, or even my knowledge. . but those are mine. I did not wish to trade them, even for a body.""Why not?""Even for the continued existence?"Tell Lewin to get close with his sword to strike at the moment's notice, tell Fellwind to keep his bow ready. Make sure to account for its unnatural speed. Use rings to communicate this.
>>19470356>Mental connection: "What was your name? Were you Eidolon?"Yeah, don't ask it that.It already referred to itself as "she" and I don't want to utter another word that might be a trigger for a latent spell
<Lewin, get your bow ready. Fellwind, get close enough to strike with your sword.> You communicate through the rings."What race were you before you died?""It hardly matters now. That race was mortal. Now, my race is that of a rabbit." Truth."How long have you been in Bubbles?""Just as long as I've been dead." Truth."What was your name?""I refuse to answer that question.""Were you Eidolon?"The rabbit started laughing."Yes, yes, I'm Eidolon, fey archmage extreme!" It said, sarcastically. Lie."Don't be stupid." It added.
rolled 46 = 46>>19470398Oh, then kill it. It's useless to us.
>>19470407Nah. I'm inclined to let it go provided it swears not to cause harm to us, to other people and the world.
>>19470407What NO! We are a princess and we are just! We do not kill people for convenience! The rabbit should swear fealty to us though. If it wont, we will create a magic suppressing leash and contain him on it.
>>19470398>It hardly matters nowYes it does. Fucking archdemons, pretending to be long-dead innocent sorceresses and manipulating our spells.
Ask others what they think of this.
>>19470450>pretending to be long-dead innocent sorceressesyou mean wizards?It pretended to be the archmage that send us here. He certainly wasn't a sorcerer
"What do you think of it?" You ask the others."I think we should kill it." Fellwind said. Truth."We can't just kill it because it's convenient." Lewin said. "It's wrong." Truth."We can just let it go here, and move on." Ezekiel said. Truth."I agree with Zeke." Raziel said. Lie.Grayson harrumphed. Half-truth."I. . I don't know." Ell said.

"I would like not to kill you. However you did both attack me, take magic from the weave and ate Ell's crystals. Furthermore you could become a serious threat in the future, especially with that attitude of yours."
>>19470524"How can I trust you?"
Well, it DID ask to be provided a body instead oh permanently highjacking Bubbles, so that it a point in its favour

Not the orcish royalty, not the High Lords, not even you, Queen of Arcturus. Kill me, then." Truth."I would like not to kill you. However, you did attack me, take magic from the weave, and ate Ell's crystals. Furthermore, you could become a serious threat in the future, especially with that attitude of yours."The rabbit sneers at you."If something's a threat, you kill it? Why not kill the two kalak behind you. They could quite easily kill you here and now. They're a threat. As is the young man with the blade- that sword would cut through any barrier you could put up. The bear is a wild beast. If you want to kill your threats, then you'll have to kill your allies. Burn down the whole world, and even then, there will be more to kill and more to kill until you're drifting in the void.". . Truth.

>>19470804"That... is true. Very well." Release the bunny from the ship.
>>19470816Should we try to transform the rabbit in something more suitable for a wizard?
>>19470820That's too far.
>>19470804Agree and ask if he want help with going somewhere or should we drop him from ship?
>>19470831sure, why not?
"That. . .is true." You say. "Very well."You release the spell from the ship's docks, and then the fatigue sets in. The bunny stretches, and then recites a spell.You recognize the spell- it's the one that the Kalak use to shapeshift.You feel the spell take hold of the rabbit, and there's a loud cracking and twisting noise, as the rabbit starts to swell.The young woman stands, and you note that she. . isn't any race you recognize. Otherwise humanoid, she had pale, colorless skin, no nose, and three long fingers on each hand."Where did you learn that?!" Ezekiel asks, and raises his hands- flaming spheres dance in his palms. Raziel raises her staff, a suprised look on her face."I know things I shouldn't." She said, and winked at him. Lie. She gagged, and coughed up a pile of crystals, coughing them into her palm, and then she held out her hand to Ell. He blinked, obviously uncomfortable standing near a naked woman. .ish thing, and then took them.
>>19470886"Would you like to stay with us?"Might help us keep an eye on her, although I doubt she'll do it.
>>19470886>You release the spell from the ship's docks, and then the fatigue sets inWe should charge our crystals through the ship's main crustal and then recharge ourself at the early convenience."What are you going to do now?""Also, what should we call you? 'Impulse'?"
"Very well. In that case, would you prefer a different body? If you are willing to wait around awhile, I'll try at making you something more suitable."
"Are you a sorcerer?"
"Would you like to stay with us?""No." She says. Truth. "What should we call you?"". . Impulse will do. A new life, a new body. . I might as well have a new name, neh?" Truth."Are you a sorcerer?""I wish." She said, and chuckled. "If I were, I wouldn't have had to cast that shapeshift spell- I could have just. . done it." Truth."Also, Ele'merelda'jaridan. If you want to learn something new about yourself. . go to Crescent Island."While he splutters at that, she turns to Ezekiel. "Give me that robe, and I'll tell you something about that spell from." Truth.Ezekiel frowns, then extinguishes his spells, tossing her the red robe you had made for him.She smiled, showing off pointed teeth. "I once taught it to a kalak by the name of Azariel. Now. . I'll be going."She leapt backward, off over the edge of the ship, arms spread, and dived into the lake, far below- she slid in like an arrow, having executed a perfect dive."Okay, uh." Lewin said. "Am I alone in not knowing what the hell is going on?"
>>19470957If she was she could have just made her own body instead of needing us. And she just cast a spell with chanting and shit.
>>19470957In that case she would not of used learned spell, so no....
>>19470975"No. Not at all."
>>19470975"I'm not entirely sure either."Turn to Kalak siblings "Well, now I have something to ask Azariel when I next have the chance to speak to him."
>>19470975"No."Time to call up Azzy and ask about the weird pale woman who taught him to shapeshift?
"I'm not entirely sure either." You say, and turn to the two kalak. "Well, now I have something to ask Azariel when I next have the chance to speak to him."You notice the compass start spinning wildly- apparently it somehow lost whatever it was it was attuned to.Ell was still spluttering, and then he ran over to the map, checking it. "Crescent island, crescent island. . ."You release the truth spell, as your muscles start to burn. You feel. . stronger, despite that.>CHOOSE>[] Fate Point>[] Extra Signature Spell>[] Bonus Stamina

>>19471074>Fate pointThose came in rather handy in NFCQ.
Bubbles is out of power.We must recharge him.We also must recharge our crystals and our own magic
Extra Signature Spell: (take) control of magic - magic follows your will enough, that you can attempt to take control of any external magic you come across (like what we did with Uriel for example). On the other hand it is way harder to turn your magic creations against you.
>>19471089I agree with this. Maybe a silence?
>>19471127This sounds better than just 'silence' spellI support this
>>19471127Metamagic is good.
"Tch, they're empty." Ell said, examining the crystals. You close your eyes, and focus ...Magic is both your friend and your foe, constantly being twisted against you and by you- it would be easier, much easier, if you could just. . . control it.Suddenly, you're bathed in power, the Weave twisting through your body. You reach for it. . .and take it, funnelling power into your own body. While you're at it, you redirect power into your own crystals, and then, feeling the weave rush through your fingers, you thrust an eddy of the Weave at Ser Bubbles.The golem twitches, and then stands back up, completely active."I appear to have run out of power." It says.>Signature Spell: Control Magic. Requires physical contact, but gives you incredibly more leverage against the magic of others.
>>19471213"How are you feeling, Ser Bubbles?""Do you still have that particular...'fascination'?"
"How are you feeling, Ser Bubbles?"". . I feel alone." It says, in the standard, tinny voice."Do you still have that particular. . . 'fascination'?""No, master." It responds."You should have killed it." Fellwind says. "It knows way too much.""Also, what was that. . queen of. . whatever about?" Lewin asked.
>>19471281>". . I feel alone." It says, in the standard, tinny voice.
>>19471281Nothing you need to worry about, sweet Lewin.
>>19471281"Well since my parents died I guess I'm technically the Queen. Doesn't mean much when there's no Kingdom left an more though.
>>19471281"Well, strictly speaking, I suppose I am the queen. Arcturus was my home, but then the demons came, and my father, the king, had his wizard cast a spell that opened a brief portal that sent me here. And then I met Grayson and you two."
"Well, since my father died. . I suppose I'm technically queen." You say, unable to keep your voice from wavering. "Although that means little when there's no kingdom anymore.""I see." Lewin says."That's. . hypothetically dissimilar to Azariel's story." Raziel said. "In fact, quite the exact opposite."Found it!" Ell cried, looking at the map. He looked up. "Uh, sorry. Didn't mean to yell."
>>19471419>"That's. . hypothetically dissimilar to Azariel's story." Raziel said. "In fact, quite the exact opposite."What do you mean?""The island?What did Impulse mean by 'learning something about yourself'?
"What do you mean?""I can't talk about it- it'll stick in my throat." She says. "But when you speak to Azariel, ask him about his origins."You turn to Ell. "The island?"He nods."What did Impulse mean by 'learning something about yourself'?""I have no idea." He says. "But there are old ruins there. . I'm curious."
>>19471477"Well, lets put it on the things to check out'"Also, what happened to the council airship that was near us just before?
>>19471213>Suddenly, you're bathed in power, the Weave twisting through your body. You reach for it. . .and take it, funnelling power into your own body. While you're at it, you redirect power into your own crystals, and then, feeling the weave rush through your fingers, you thrust an eddy of the Weave at Ser Bubbles.Now we DEFINITELY need to steal one of those flowers. That way we would have a source of mana everywhere we go.
>>19471477First acquire flowers, then go to old ruins and then attend cerulean ball.
"We'll add that to the list of things to do." You say. "Before we go to Cerulean Province, but. . after we go to West Prism."Ell reads between the lines, and raises his eyebrows. "But that council airship that passed by. . . West Prism is where they were going. We'll need someone to distract them.""Distract them from what?" Lewin asks, looking between you and Ell. "Are you planning to steal something?""Just. . some seeds." Ell said.
>>19471616It hardly counts as theft, they'd gift it to me if they knew, they just don't have to know.
>>19471616"We're just borrowing them"
"We're just borrowing them." You say. "Once they bud some more seeds, we can return them.""I see." Lewin said, and put his hand on his chin for a moment. "Any way I can help?""I'm thinking. . we only need three people. The lady can distract the crafters, I can use the artifacts to distract the general populace.. and then Lewin, you can go in and borrow the seeds." Ell said, counting on his fingers."What, but how will I know what's what?" He asks."Simple- they're baby blue, and magical. Your eyes are good, aren't they?""Very." Lewin responded. "Then I'll just explain how to get into the grower's warehouse. It won't be locked or anything, because people owe me for favors." Ell said.
>>19471733"How am I to distract the crafters?"
"How am I to distract the crafters?" you ask."I've. . no clue." Ell said. "Tell them that you had some problems with the ship, maybe? This airship is as airworthy as anything, so that should keep them looking."
>>19471738Oh come on, we can think of plenty of ways to do that on our own.
rolled 71 = 71>>19471733We should make a magical stealth cloak for Lewin
>>19471756We can invite them to tea in recompense for checking it out, I know how to throw a tea party. Someone find me biscuits and wee little sandwiches.
As you continued on your way to West Prism, Ell started explaining the layout of the Grower's compound, and various proclivities of the Keepers most likely on duty there.Soon enough, you saw it looming in the distance- West Prism. It was small, abnormally so- it must be a backwater prism or something. On the coast, you see a field of massive, wide-petaled blue flowers, gleaming with magic power."Okay, here's the plan." Ell said. "We dock, Ishelda distracts the Crafters, Lewin makes his way down to the Grower's compound, and I get into the crafter warehouse and find the artifacts. Am I missing anything?"
>>19471853"I don't think so. Keep in contact with the rings and try not to get caught."
rolled 78 = 78>>19471853Where's is the stealth cloak? >>19471764
>>19471880Waiting for the right time?
"First. . " You say, pulling a cloak out of Grayson's pack with a dramatic flair. You weave magic into the cloak, magic to make it hidden. . The drain takes you to your knees. . But then you just. . breathe in the Weave, restoring your power. You give the cloak to Lewin, and he puts it on. . and vanishes."Keep in contact with the rings," You say. "And try not to get caught."The airship shudders as it docks at the port; you see the silver ship at the prism's airport as well."Yes, lady." Lewin says, and you hear the whoosh of the cloak as he steps off of the Jormungandr. "I'll be back." Ell said, and stepped off as well.The crafters were examining their ship, making sure it was intact.
>>19471942Mentaliate to Lewin that we're not sure if it will hide him from magical detection.Actually we should ask Raziel to check.
>>19471942"Thanks for the help earlier! Everything ok?"

<Be warned, Lewin, I have no idea if it will hide you from magic.><Yes, lady, I will be careful.>"Thanks for the help earlier!" You say, giving them a brilliant smile. "Everything okay?""Yes, yes it is." One of the elves say. "We're simply examining it, to make certain there's been no damage. My name is Malach." He says, and bows deeply.>Roll 1d100>Taking only first.

"Hello, Malach, I'm Lady Ishelda." You say, curtsying."From where do you hail from?" He asks, and the two crafters leave the ship alone, going down to the stairs of the spire.<I'm in the warehouse, and I have the artifacts> Ell said.
>>19472087we should tell that the two crafters are moving.lets give that guy the short-ish version of our story since we came to this world. Tell him that we're from far away

"Did you check your ship? The thing that attacked me. . might have gotten on board yours." You say, and the two other crafters stop, and turn around."What did it look like?" Malach asked, suddenly alert. He brought up his bracer, and you feel a spell leave it. "I'm calling the keepers up here so that they can make sure nothing leaves either ship."You hear something trumping up the steps.<All of the keepers just left.> Lewin said. <This might make it a lot easier for me.>
rolled 73 = 73>>19472141"That's the thing, it called itself an impulse. It took control of my golem without me even knowing, apparently it had laid dormant for a very long time. I would recommend doing a thorough search of your ship, scanning for anything that seems... amiss.

I would recommend doing a thorough search of your ship, scanning for anything that seems... amiss." You say."You mean. . it could be hiding inside the spell?" One of the crafters said, and met Malach's eyes. They both rushed on the ship, and some keepers arrived, spears in hand.<Okay, the artifacts are active. Lewin, you can go in.> Ell says.
There's a long, long few minutes while the keepers spread about the tower, keeping an eye for anything, anything out of the ordinary, while the crafters check their ship. . <I got them.> Lewin said. <I'm on my way back.><Cool; so am I.

The alert keepers seek this way and that, silent, and watching the ships. .but you hear the swish of a cloak.And so does everyone else."There's something invisible here." The crafter said, and raised his bracer. A blast of magic slammed into something, and exploded, throwing Lewin away, his cloak burning away. He screams.

"My apologies, Keep-"And then Fellwind comes flying off of the Jormungandr, roaring, the blade slashing open the keeper's torso."Back off." Fellwind growled, his blade shimmering white. You see white sparks dancing along the blade's surface.The keepers raised their spears at Fellwind, as the injured keeper fell to his knees.
>>19472357>>19472367I don't think this is the best course of action to be honest.I don't really have better idea except maybe...Everyone should be looking at Lewin. Qucikly summon a bunch of elementals, air ones, to attack from the different side to distract them all

"Put the sword away, Fellwind. Now!" You order him, but he just glares at you.You kneel down, and put your hands on the keeper, drawing energy from the weave to heal him. You save his life, patching him up before he can bleed out. It isn't perfect, but. . "Heal him." Fellwind says, his voice cold, and as sharp as a razor's edge.You go to Lewin next, and. . he's a mess.

Ezekiel says, and they lift Lewin up, taking him back to the Jormungandr.You turn to Malach. "Did you find any trace of the being aboard your ship?""Nay." He says. "It must have jumped off, if it were ever there at all."He knelt down, and checked on the keeper."You could be a Healer, Lady." The elf says. "Jadeeris will live.

>>19472664>Raziel, Zeke, can you and Fellwind help get Lewin Belowdecks and see to what injuries I might have missed?Good idea, have them haul him off to our ship as soon as possible using advantage of the confusion. If they find the seeds on him, we're doomed!
>>19472732>>19472738mehstill not buying itIt has never took us more than a split-second to recast a spell when we fail it. Why should it be like this now?
>>19472732>f we'd fucked up we might have accidentally rotated his heart 270 degrees the wrong direction while repairing the damage...We either do the spell we intend to or we don't at all. There is no middle, half-assed results. So no, if we botched, we wouldn't have made the damage worse, just would have wasted energy.
So I'm guessing the seed's destroyed. Is there time for Ell to get another one while everyone's still distracted?

"May I see your scrip?"You hand it to him, and he looks it over. "Ah, Councilor Absinad. I was just in a meeting with him. It seems that Kyvann is alive." He says. "Speaking of which . . You were the one who helped him, were you not?"

"Indeed. . although it is true to say that the orcs helped almost more than I did."He chuckled. "Modest, aren't you. Now, you can go down to the warehouse and purchase what you need.""No need, councilor." Ell said, walking out of the prism, a large bag in his hand. "I already did.""Oh? You're traveling with the Lady?""I'm bored of being stuck in a warehouse." Ell said, and the councilor patted Ell's head. "Good luck, kid." He said."Thanks." Ell responded, and waved.Ell took your shoulder, and led you back to the Jormungandr."What was that?" He whispered, pulling the Jormungandr away from the port. "All I heard was the scream. Is everyone okay?"
rolled 72 = 72>>19473053it was almost failure. now I think we should go belowdecks take any remaining pain from and heal Lewin and see if he managed to get the flowers...
>>19473053"It didn't quite go as planned. I think I managed to heal everyone."
"It was almost a failure." You say. "Now let's go below decks."You go down to Lewin's cabin, and find him sitting up, and Fellwind in there. Lewin tossed you something- a packet of seeds, labeled in elven."Galadriel's Light." Ell said."Lady." Fellwind says, turning to you. "We've been talking. When we get to Cerulean Province. . Me and Lewin are leaving.">>End of thread 16>>I'll stick around to answer questions>>And remember, my twitter is @futureexabyte.

I am of the opinion that we ask for the sword back. It is no mere enchanted item it is a full blown Artifact at this stage and he has shown he is not only exceptionally rash but no longer trusts us.We understand they don't want to continue risking their lives, that's fair enough, but the sword stays.
>>19473209Well it's better than him killing us which is what he said would happen, and they have helped us out a lot so we can't really demand more from them. It'll be a shame to see them go. Them and the bitching nat 100 sword. Hopefully we can change their minds during the Crescent Island expedition.
>>19473278Dude no. We made that sword for him, and gave him all that talk about him forging it's destiny and shit. You can't just take back gifts once you've given them. Well you can, but not if you're a polite ladylike princess.
>>19473278Yeah, no. We gave that sword freely and in good trust. It's his.
>>19473309>>19473338And a wise ruler doesn't help create people capable of destroying them. We know next to nothing about the pair of them, for all we know a few in-game months down the track they could be against us. That's not even considering the death threats. He may wield it but we created that sword and we are responsible for anything it does.

>>19473397The weapon smith is not responsible for murder. He crafts tools - what is done with them is solely the responsibility of the one who wields that tool.Come on man, this is morality 101.
rolled 48 = 48>>19473209I understand take some gold, and keep the rings in case you should ever need help.
>>19473442If this was a normal sword I would agree with you. But it's not, it's an extremely magical item capable of ignoring and cancelling (at least in an area) any magical effect. How would you feel if the sword was stolen and someone sinister made use of it? What if the demons got ahold of it? We would be near powerless to stop them.
>>19473397>the wise rulerWe aren't a ruler.>doesn't help create peopleWe didn't create the man, we created the sword.>capable of destroying them.The only way he can kill us is by getting within a few feet of us. The fact that the sword can cut through spells only means that we would need to attack him indirectly and cleverly.>We know next to nothing about either of them,I disagree. We know more about them and their past than anyone else in the world.>for all we know a few in-game months down the track they could be against us. That's true of everyone ever.>That's not even considering the death threats.We could give him one in return. "Use that sword against me or mine and I'll unmake it AND you."Seems like a dick move to me though.> He may wield it but we created that sword and we are responsible for anything it does.Lolno. See >>19473442
>>19473480The only regret that I would feel was that we gave it to a man too weak to hold onto it. And we would not be powerless against it - even Superman finds a way to overcome Kryptonite at the end of the day.
>>19473480>If this was a normal sword I'd agree with youDifference of degree, not of kind. If we aren't responsible for a peasant using a mundane sword we made to kill his wife, then we aren't responsible for a demon using the diamond sword to kill a king either.
>>19473500>>19473521>>19473537>>19473278Very well, you've made your points clear. My final remark on this then, I don't trust him with it and I don't think he will use it well.
>>19473607Well that's like, your opinion mang.
>>19473209Thank them for their companionship and wish them good luck on their journeys.In a way, I was surprised they stayed for the assault in the Demon lands.This is why Elemental/Construct armies are the best.
rolled 26 = 26>>19473209"As you wish. I will miss you, you know? You can of course keep the sword, it's yours, and if you need anything at any point you can just call via the rings."
>>19475722Yes, we must surround ourselves only with creatures we have created who are magically bound to our service so that we never experience anyone dying or leaving us again. This is obviously perfectly healthy behaviour.
>>19478777Yep.That's why it is the best idea
>>19477097>You can of course keep the sword, it's yoursNo need to say this at all
