Yesterday's thread.

Finish painting the shield.

It might take some time but it is to be the most awesome shield ever.

Have some art one Anon gave us.

>>20962540
You finish painting your shield, but feel as though you need to visualize it through the sketch drawings of one individual without a name. How odd.

You leave the shield to dry.

What do you do?

>Have to leave in 30 minutes to visit sister

AAAAAAAAAAAAUGH
Oh well, I'll just leave the tab open and read it later.

>>20962714
I am reading it now aswell.

>>20962561

We need to prepare to take out Beric. I think we should take a look around his home and see if there's somewhere from which we can siege arrow him in the head from when the next storm comes.

>>20962433
Time to hit the town.
A tall warrior like us should be able to pick up some serious bitches.

>>20962714
(There's a link to it at the top. It'll take 20 minutes.)

>>20962695
(Dunno)

You decide to ask Erik if he thinks you could handle Beric the Elemental.

>"Well, if you can do a repeat of Roland, you'll have no problem. But Beric is a wizard, so it took years of study and practice to gain his level of power, so he's a tad paranoid. But I have faith in you."

"So he's just in the mountain forests then?"

>"I should think so, yes, unless he's moved recently."

You don't think Beric's been moving around, so he's probably still in his castle.

What do you do now?

>Then you visited the descendants of your long dead brother, who live in your old home. They're good people, but the daughter is a bit too smart for her age.
>but the daughter is a bit too smart for her age.
>too smart for her age.

Zed: May I ask why you felt little Tiffany deserved to die?
James Edwards: Well, she was the only one that actually seemed dangerous at the time, sir.
Zed: How'd you come to that conclusion?
James Edwards: I'm thinking, y'know, eight-year-old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She about to start some shit, Zed. She's about eight years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I'd say she's up to something. And to be honest, I'd appreciate it if you eased up off my back about it.
[pause]
James Edwards: Or do I owe her an apology?

>>20962767

I have an idea. Does Beric fire his lightning bolts from a balcony? If so, I think we should get a rope, secure it to a siege arrow, shoot from the ground to the balcony, climb up, dangle off the edge waiting for him and pull him off when he comes out. This would be when we knew a storm was soon to come.

>>20962760
Maybe try lighting the arrows on fire. He's an elemental, but fire arrows are the shit.

>>20962803
This would be funny as hell.

>>20962803
Backstab him with a ballista?

>>20962823
Aw hells yeah.

>>20962803
Word of God, and the sky, says there's a storm coming soon.

>>20962806
You decide against lighting arrows in Erik's Library, things may be flammable.

You take a large coil of rope from to store rooms used to tie down lawn ornaments and attach it to an arrow for later.

Practicality and intelligence has worked so far, why not now?

What do you do now?

>>20962837
Storm's a brewin', eh?
TO THE CASTLE!

>>20962803
Alternatively.
Get naked, strap braces to out figure, stand deathly still, and once he is busy shooting lightning at the sky, siege-bow the balcony and watch him try to fly.

>>20962837

Let's get the heck down there, posthaste. No muscles = no muscle fatigue, let's go as quickly as we can. Get in pretty close, make sure the coast is clear and make a dash for the wall below the balcony.

>>20962859
Not a bad idea, actually. We do look like an ordinary- if imposingly tall- skeleton when undressed and still.

>>20962857
You give Erik and Stumbles a good bye for now, and promise to grab something nice for Stumbles. Then you head out to the forests.

>>20962859
Beric is not a Necromancer, so a skeleton, a bleached white one at that, will most certainly get his attention.

You gather your weaponry, and tie the Siege bow to your back. A quiver of the largest arrows you've ever seen, and your modified grapple arrow tied to your sword belt.

You leave the manor and its lands during early morning, and walk all day through the forests.

>"Halt!"
Call a voice from the trees

>"You trespass on protected woods, foul creature. To pass you must answer my riddle! For I am the Guardian of the Forest!"

"Alright, fine."

>"Good! Now for the riddle.
The man who made it sold it.
The man who bought it didn't want it.
The man who used it didn't know it.
What was it?"

Well? What was it?

>>20962933
A coffin!

>>20962933
A Coffin, of course.

>>20962837
>Go to the tower
>Strip to the bones
>Write note on parchment
>Hide in a sack with note and dagger
>Knock on his door
>He opens the sack, revealing unmoving skeleton and note
>Note says "Free skeleton with every death!"
>Surprise round!
>Stab him

>>20962933

"It would be what I woke up in a couple days ago and what you'll end up in, if you don't show yourself. A coffin."

>>20962942
It is a trap!

The voice means to put us into a coffin.

>>20962933
"I'd say a coffin, but I'm well aware that I used it."

>>20962942
"It's a coffin, and I'll tell you what, I miss mine. It was a lot easier in that."

>"Correct!"

Out from the trees walks a tree spirit, clad in green silk with a finely crafted Yew bow.

>"Wait a moment, you're a skeleton! No being brought into this world through the dark arts may enter my forest and live!"

"Hang on, let me ask you a riddle, if you guess right, I'll leave, no problems, if not, you let me pass."

The tree spirit, well aware you've just invoked the riddle game, an old and respected game, agrees.

>"Ask away."

Roll 1d20 for improv.

"Its a coffin. By the way, I can hardly be considered fowl. I bathe and clean my bones nearly every day."

It's time for some smooth words.

You can't seem to remember many riddles, and those you do end up with chickens and roads.
>>20963008
>>20963007
You decide to wing it.

"Four knots of bones have I, white as snow, and fast as a cobra do I move. What am I?"

>"Easy, a spring tree. Their seeds move awfully fas-"

"Wrong."

>"Well, what is it then?"

"My fist."

You knock the androgynous tree spirit clean out in one punch.

You step over the groaning spirit.

"Used that one on a Sphinx pup..."

The forest ahead clears into a path, out of respect of the riddle game or fear, you can not tell.

Far above in the mountain face you can see the castle of Beric the Elemental.

What do you do?

>>20963066
Try to get a free line of sight to the balcony.
Maybe I can snipe Beric before he notice me aproaching.

>>20963090
The sky is clear and Beric is not coming out until the storm starts. You can't hit accurately from this distance anyway. Either get higher or move closer.

What do you do?

>>20963066

This works just as well. Can we slit the guy's throat? I don't want no spirits messing with us on the way back.

We should also head towards the castle thingy and prepair ourselves. Two storms are coming today, baby.

Rolled 20

make our way to the castle, get inside, observe surroundings.

>>20963107
Time to perform the traditional murderhobo greeting and blow up their front door

>>20963124
You manage to walk straight forward, the path clears before you and your war path.

You can see the castle much clearer now. There's a gate at the base of an incline leading up, it's guarded by two Ogres.

Upon closer inspection they both are very dead. Each has a siege arrow through their chests.

So /that's/ where those stray arrows went!

Your misfortune during yesterday's practice really paid out today.

The grounds are clear of enemies, as they're both dead.

The castle is in clear sight and you have ample covering to see the balcony, without Beric seeing you.

What do you do?

>>20963090
How about we go to the castle and climb up to the balcony with the Coil of Rope tied to the arrow. >>20962837

Then we stand very still in a corner untill Beric appears to cast his storms.

Never have I been happier about a critical failure. Take the bow and get up on that balcony.

>>20963188
You unstrap the bow and notch an arrow and take aim at the balcony. Then you wait.

A few hours pass and the sky darkens, rain begins to patter on your armour and helmet.

Then you see something moving up above, a middle aged man wearing a blue three piece suit walks out, straightens his tie, and lets loose a powerful lightning bolt into the heavens.

Roll 1d20 for the shot.

Rolled 16

This might be fun.

>>20963231
You give another tug, for added power, then let the mighty arrow fly.

You swear you can hear a sonic boom as the arrow leaves the bow.

Too late does Beric look in your direction. As he opens his mouth to Zap you, the siege arrow, a weapon built to shatter castle doors, hits him in the chest. The top half is embedded in to the wall behind him, the bottom left standing in shock, and the middle is just everywhere, like a Jackson Pollock painting.

You put the bow back on your shoulder and walk towards the Gates, passing the Ogres on either side.

The walk is short and pleasant, this is the second all powerful individual utterly beaten with just a few minutes of thinking.

The Castle's main gates are unlocked, as Beric didn't think anyone would get passed the Ogres to assault him.

The castle is dark and dank, with old paintings staring down at you from above, judging your every move with stoic eyes.

What do you do?

Rolled 9

>>20963307
Loot the place. Look for anything useful to you, Erik, or Stumbles, and take that shit. Also, look for a wheelbarrow- it'd be easier to carry the insane amount of shit our strength allows us if we could put it somewhere other than our bony fingers.

>>20963396

>>20963328
You walk through the castle and out into the grounds, then the stables, where you grab a wheelbarrow to store your loot.

Practicality, it's the best tool.

>>20963335
On your way back you flip every painting, you know they're not alive, but it feels good to just piss them off.

>>20963336
You walk up a spiral staircase, wheelbarrow in tow, and enter Beric's library. It's not as big as Erik's, but everything is far more well read. Spines are falling into disrepair and pages are loose. You grab all the big and old ones, the ones with chains wrapped around them. They've got to do something.

You leave the Library, dragging your plunder behind you.

You leave the books in the main hall and head out to find the basement.

You think a gal-pal would be good for Stumbles, guy needs to relieve some anxiety.

You descend old stone steps into the basement/store room and call out.

"Any lady spider monsters down here? Looking for one for a friend."

Silence greets you.

You feel heavier. It's probably nothing.

You leave and return upstairs, then up higher to the Tower to check on Beric.

He's dead.

What do you do?

>>20963448
Explore entire castle. Perhaps we will find something or someone interesting.

>>20963448
See if there's anything clingling to us. If not, check his body.

You grab Beric's top half and start to drag him along, but you check his fingers for rings. There's one on each hand, a yellow gem on a copper band (Always grounded. Impervious to lightning.) Sounds good to you, and a gold one with weaving. You don't know what it does.

His pockets are empty, apart from a journal. You skim the pages.

>That blasted Lich, Erik, flaunting his peacocks! Well, soon I'll have the peacocks! The best peacocks in the world! Made of smaller peacocks!

Beric wasn't on the level towards the end. Clearly.

After dumping the body, you search for a treasury. Seems Beric thought his books were his treasure, and he'd Zap any tax collector who got too close.

What do you do?

>>20963462
>>20963469
>>20963491
>>20963509

If so, then lets take our loot and leave.

>>20963530

>>20963530

>>20963530
We did say that we will bring something for Stumbles.

>>20963544
You wheel the books and Beric's body back home to the Manor house, the wheelbarrow is a bit of a hassle through the forest, as the tree roots rise out of the ground. You just pick the wheelbarrow up and carry it.

You return to the Manor house, each window is lit in the gloom of night. It actually looks rather homey.

You open the doors, which are never locked now, after you gained the town's favour.

You wheel the books into the Library and dump the body on an empty table.

Erik looks up from his steeple and book.

>"Do you always bring followers home with you? Oh well, show her to a room."

Wait what?

You turn your head to your back.

>"I didn't want to impose, but I'm light enough, you killed Master Beric, so I belong to you, or your master now."
It chitters.
(Open the image)
>"I'm so sorry."

Well, it's not a spider... But it has an exoskeleton. That'll do, right?

"Stumbles! Come help our new guest!" You call out.

Stumbles skitters in, sees what's on your back, then faints.

What do you do?

>>20963591
can it be a kitten please, Story Man? I'd quite like a kitten.

>>20963591
...
That inspires me.
We need to persuade a hive of giant hornets to nest inside our ribcage.

>>20963610

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH

Ask her her name!

>>20963610
"So...what- I mean, who are you?"

>>20963631
"Name?"

>"Meryl."

"Good enough, go tend to stumbles for me."

>"Y-y-yes."

Meryl drops off your back and walks over to Stumbles, now passed out on the Library floor.

>"Oh my brave little spider, please wake up."
She chitters down at Stumbles.
Stumbles stirs and opens his eyes to look up at the Mantis girl above him.
>"Ma mantis chère, comment peut une araignée comme je être si chanceux?"

Where did that come from?

Meryl lifts one of her segmented arms to her mouth and looks away, blushing.

You turn to Erik, who is staring at the awkward insectoids.

"I brought Beric's body for you to practice Necromancy on."

>"Really? Good show, Daniel, a fresh play thing, and a lady friend for Stumbles. What ever did I do without you?"

"Read porn."

Erik looks inward at pleasant memories.

Just keep looking in the basements, we're bound to find some rather poisonous slugs or frogs sooner or later. Then just spread them, and they'll drop like the flies.

>>20963794
Not him, but I ain't such a great fan of that too. Stumbles is cool and all, but our crest should have something related to the whole household, not just one member. There were some nice ideas in the last thread. I guess we'll just have to wait for a drawfag to make a few and then take the most appropiate.

You leaver Stumbles and Meryl to get acquainted by practicing with your bow. You take it out into the Gardens and take aim at some trees at the far end. Arrow after arrow misses, but the get closer and closer to the tree. Eventually the 20th one hits true, creating a massive supply of toothpicks.

>Buzz buzz

Oh shit son, it's request pandering.

A swarm of angry hornets who just lost their home gather around and in you, stinging your bones. You've no nerves or nervous system. You don't feel a thing.

"Alright, enough." You say.

The swarm notices you're not running away in pain and panic, and stop. They group together and take a hive shape of a mouth, it shouts at you.

>"Destroyer of homes! Slayer of kin! What have you to say!"

"Shut up, and nest in the chest." You lift your mail. They comply.

(You get this one, and this one only. I hope it was worth it.)

The only magic user left in the area is the Necromancer, he doesn't make himself know, and only through Erik's books did you learn of him. But you'll still have to deal with him sooner or later.

What do you do now?

...Is Erik making use of all the shit we hauled to him?
He should be becoming stronger. I hope he is not wasting all his time reading porn

>>20963976
No, you're not hoping that. Trust me, hoping for something that won't come true is idiotic, and you surely aren't an idiot.

You ask Erik about the other Necromancer.

>"Can't say I know too much about him, we were class mates at Gallowmere finishing school, you know? I was head boy, he was a delinquent. But out paths crossed and we both had an affection the mystical arts. I wanted to master Illusion magic, he Necromancy. He said he wanted to beat death, and gain Lichhood, well, after I turned up at his home like this, he got angry with me. Ranting and raving how I'd stolen his glory. A shame that, he was a good kid. But his anger drove him deeper into his hatred of me, and the living. Last I saw him, he was in his family's crypt, all the upper class have crypts, can't be buried with commoners in /dirt/ now can we? Yes, you'll find Martin, or "Mort" as he calls himself now, in the Graveyard crypts."

Erik returns to his readings as you leave to get changed before heading back into town to talk with your Great great great great grand niece about the Apprenticeship.

The tailored suit fits perfectly to your form as you don your top hat and make headway into town.

-A little while later-

"Rebecca? Susan? Richard? Brian?" you ask as you knock on their door.

It's Rebecca who opens it once again.

>"Uncle." She says

"Any thought on the apprenticeship offer?"

>"I was, until father died."

"What?!"

>"Wolves, in the Lupin woods. Mauled him to death. Mother and Brian are at a service for him right now. I didn't feel like going, death is only natural, unless you're you."

"Some cold child you are."

>"The curse of intellect."

Rebecca closes the door on you and you're left standing outside.

What do you do?

What if we bring home a girl for Erik?

>>20964012
Normally we should attend the service but since we're a skeleton it might be not the best idea.

Damn wolves. What was he doing in the woods in the first place?

>>20964082
Getting wood or visiting the temple to his God.

>>20964070
>>20964074

Not a good idea to go there as a walking skeleton imo.

>>20964070
>>20964082

We have no place at services for the dead. The only thing we're good for anymore is killing that which needs killing. So let's do it.

>>20964086
Visit temple. Kill wolves and take their pelts en route.

I'm having some rather, well, i appropriate thoughts about going and digging him out to have our kin serve us in death, but that's not a gentlemanly thing to do, is it.
And I doubt people would like a skeleton show up there. We may touch upon some rather sensitive areas here.

>>20964110
After asking the Paladin about his deity, he told us he was in the monastery/temple in that forest, right? It did ring some bells for us.
So, were we a Paladin of that god?
If so, make a short visit there, check up on some stuff, ask for a blessing and shit to kill skeletons with. Preferably a hammer.

>>20964121
Yes, a thousand times this

>>20964110
Or, Kill wolves, haul carcases back, guard-dogs are always handy.

Though knowing Eric we might have to hunt them down when they inevitably run amok and terrorize the village.

...Lets never tell him about the Ogres

>>20964012
Don't attend the service, that wouldn't be appropriate. Kill wolves, give pelts to family and offer condolences.

>>20964143
Ogers would be such a bother to get back there too. Not to speak about the rather huge holes in their chests.

>>20964158
Give the ogres hornet's nests too? :D

You say through the door that you'll avenger her father.

>"You'll go and kill animals because they're just doing what's in their nature? Feeding on something that entered their territory? That's some cold stuff, Uncle."
Comes from the other side of the door.

This fucking child...

You return to the Manor and change into your armour, wolves shan't see you at your most dapper.

With your sword on your belt, and shield on your arm. You set off. You didn't bring the bow, as it's too densely wooded to use it.

You tie a torch to your shield arm and draw steel, then enter into the woods. It's dark now, but the wolves'll be active.

After an hour or two of walking you come out in a clearing, flowers seem to grow everywhere regardless of the evils of this forest. Then you see it, a great stone Golem, sitting down and covered in roots and flowers. It's staring at a stone slab between its legs, the word on it is too faded to read. There's sadness here, great sadness. You leave without disturbing the silent watcher further.

After another hour of walking you hear the howls of the wolves, far off but clear. And getting closer to you.

What do you do?

Are wolves a threat to the people that must be dealt with or was this just a freak accident? We should have learned more...

It isn't a quest. Just......the feels man.

>>20964203
You start to walk with a limp and groan with each step. Heh, suckers.

It works though, one runt of the pack jumps out of the bushes and lands infront of you, snarling.

"FLY, MY PRETTIES!" you cry as hundreds of hornets swarm from your neck gap and attack the wolf, which is now whining and running away.

>>20964216
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/20890424/

The wolves, having tested your mettle, send more of the pack to take you down.

>>20964246
These wolves aren't natural. They hunt exclusively for human flesh.

Three much larger wolves now block the path, moonlight shining off their teeth and eyes. The middle one steps up and snarls.

Your hornets are chasing the runt of the pack, so it's just you.

What do you do?

Rolled 12

>>20964274

Commence the battle by stabbing the middle wolf it downwards through the head and shield bashing any other wolves that get too close.

>>20964274
Divide & Conquer. Try to injure the legs of the first one, then run like the wind so only two are following.

>>20964274
make sure that they do not surround you

>>20964286
You meet their challenge head on, the wolves can smell no fear, no anything actually on you. Your sword parts the middle one's head in two.

The a shield bash shatters the one on the left, and a final stab ends the third.

If they could actually smell you, they've be on you in the hundreds, but they've got to work on sight and sound alone.

The fire of the torch scares them, and scared wolves are erratic and will turn on each other. The battle that will come is in your favor.

Until you follow the footpath through the trees to a river clearing, and you see the Alpha.

To call it a wolf would be an insult. It's more like a canine bear. The beast weighs in easily at over 600 lbs, and its front fangs are half a foot long.

This is a most dangerous opponent, for the living. Your armour will deflect off any claws and teeth, and it being a fatass isn't a problem.

This isn't a battle, it's an extermination.

The Alpha plods towards you, head low.

What do you do?

When you remove the human elements of fear and panic, fighting is easy. You cock your arm back and wait for it to jump.

It does as expected and lunges, your fist replicates the riddle you gave the tree spirit.

Your cause is just, your will is strong, and you can hit like a fucking truck.

Four knots of bone, moving at 400 MPH into a target jumping at your fist.

There's a steaming crater where the Alpha's head once rested as it slides past you, coming to a stop.

"I'm the Top Dog now!"
Your celebration is cut short though.

>"No, that's still me."
You hear from behind as a howl goes up into the night sky.

You turn and see a bipedal wolf, wearing platemail and a helmet, is now circling around you.

The werewolf must be leading the attacks on the people.

"A thinking creature knows how to reason," you circle opposite to the werewolf "So I'll give you one chance, stay away from the town, or I'll bring my fury down upon you like an Angry God."

>"Pah, humans, you try to threaten me? I'll tear you limb from limb, then I'll do the same to that town. They shouldn't be in our forests, cutting down our trees, encroaching on our boarders."

He makes a good point, the towns people ARE expanding into the woods.

But the old Hero blood takes over, you don't deal with man eating monsters.

"Deal with it." you say as you charge forward and swat the torch at it.

The werewolf rolls to the side and rams his sword into your back. You collapse, "dead".

The werewolf raises its arms and howls, turning to the now howling pack.

>"They have sent their champion, my brothers! And he has fallen by my hand! Now let us feast on man-flesh! Tonight, we dine-"

"In hell, freak." You ram the torch into his mouth and give an uppercut that shuts his mouth for good.

You sheath your sword as the werewolf rolls and cries on the floor, his head now internally burning.

>>20964479
>>20964465

"Hey baby" you say to the burning werewolf "Come here often?"

The werewolf stops trying to put out the fire, overcome by your charm, and swoons upon you. unfortunately for romance, he dies. But love conquers all, the wolf's pelt detaches from the burning body and embraces you. You now have a werewolf cloak that wants your dick.

You will have to use other pelts as carpets, this one isn't coming loose from your armour. You can wear other cloths, but in battle it'll be with you.

You grab the smoldering, skinless body and tell the pack that you run the show now, and there'll be no more hunting people. They get the idea and disperse.

Nah. Our old life is over.
This is a new one, we should do things differently.

>>20964746
We need some insurance in case Mort can't be won over with reason. As he's a necromancer, and we're an undead, he could have power over us.

>>20964758

Chill, if Erik thinks he's a decent guy then we can probably trust him. In fact, we might be able to patch up their relationship and make them Necromancer bros.

>>20964746

Unless we convince him to give up magic and give his stuff to erik

>>20964767
This, we need to make them bros. Let us try to patch them up through a convincing statement.

Also it's not like he can't become a lich now.

I think we should try to get them to bro it up.

>>20964685
The god of the Temple hates undead, that's why Max came for Erik and you. You'll need to find a different God.

You decide to return to town, and tell your great-great-great-great-grand niece that you've avenged her father.

>"Oh, a night in the killing fields, eh? I hope that made you feel like a hero. I see you're even wearing one's skin, I trust you ate the meat. Or did you just let it go to waste there?"

"Thank me no more, Rebecca, your father can rest peacefully now." you leave, fast. That girl needs friends.

You return to the manor house and enter the library, cloak swooshing behind you at every turn.

Erik is standing over Beric's upper corpse, trying to reanimate it. So far he's got it to talk.

Beric's eyes turn to you

>"You son of a bitch! Killing a man without good reason, and not even letting him die in peace!"

"Hey, good work Erik! You've reanimated something!" you congratulate him, ignoring Beric.

>"Why thank you, Daniel. Might I say, that's a fine pelt. It looks as though it's smiling."

You scratch the cloak behind the ear.

>"I suppose you'll be off to deal with Martin next? Do try to reason with him."

"Sure boss."

Anything to say before I end it here?

I've got to sleep now.

I'm tired of just killing these guys. Practical? Sure. But Mort and Erik were friends, and we should do our best to give Erik a different kind of motivation from KILL EVERYTHING.

In all likelihood Mort is probably a poor Necromancer himself, seeing as how he can't make himself a Lich. Let's give this one a chance.

So, he had one ring that keeps him grounded and immune to lightning and also another ring that helps him not get hit by lightning? That seems pointless. May as well give it to Stumbles, or sell it.

>>20964931
Ever been struck by lightning? Just because your grounded, doesn't mean you're safe.
