You are Tia, and, right now, you are the world's happiest Lunar.

Pulling back from Maka, letting go of her hands and turning around in the coolest way you can manage, you walk towards the battlefield at the foot of Tarien Dorian's castle.

Your men are struggling to punch a hole in the hobgoblin ranks, as Samiel and Zaan try to organize a breakthrough, and Silk keeps the destructive Wyld at bay.

But now, you are here. Everything is going to be alright.
Behind you, you feel Maka's reassuring presence as she gives orders and directions to the troops. But, most importantly, she gives you the courage to keep on going.

"The power of Love is on my side, Tarien Dorian!" you call him out, pointing your daiklave, Skullopener, against the palace. "And that is why I cannot lose."

Physical + War + Equip = 8 7 6 7 4 10 9 1 7 = 7 successes

You rush into the enemy ranks, leaping high above your formation, lifting your terrible blade high into the overcast sky. Its slash parts clouds and flesh alike, as you fell the lizardmen who dare approach you.

A circle of blood and severed body parts forms around you as your beleaguered forces rally behind you and push through.

Time to begin working on your plan. You kick one of the hobgoblins in the chest, sending him flying against the castle's walls, where he explodes in a firework of gore.
The second is stabbed through your blade, and then flung atop the first one catapult-like by a flick of the wrist. Bit by bit, as you advance, the pile grows in size. Zaan holds his ground behind you, while Samiel takes the flank, pushing the enemy formation back and forcing it to compact where you want it.

Your troops follow your push, slamming into the Fae ranks and piling up dead. Iron blades draw blood and essence, javelins fly and blood sprays cloud the air in the chaos of the melee.

In a minute, you find yourself in your second most favorite condition: drenched in the blood of your enemies.

Like every good corpse ramp, you have to make sure the base is wide and made of chunky, fine-grained or pureed body matter so that the upper strata can lightly sink and settle into it, making it solid enough to be climbable without the risk of slipping or causing a corpseslide.

>the intermediate level should be corpses chopped in two, three pieces at most, to be solid without losing granularity so that you can more easily spread them out evenly where needed.
>the intermediate level should be intact corpses, to act as a solid base to hold the ramp together, possibly by tangling their appendages to form a structurally solid weave.
>the intermediate level should be fine-grained as well, so that it will spread out and settle naturally forming a thick, mortar-like foundation for the upper, solid road.

If it's anything like dirt ramps, hard-packed fine-grain, under loose coarse stuff (gravel), under REALLY hard-packed fine stuff to form a solidish cap. Then a thin layer of whatever reasonable coarseness for better traction.

Physical + War = 10 9 7 10 1 3 9 2 = 7 successes

After spreading a layer of corpses mostly stabbed, decapitated or not slashed all the way through on your quickly-growing ramp, you take a step back.

Your forces, who are beginning to encircle and compress the wavering enemy formation, are doing a splendin job of pushing them i your direction.

Here is where it gets technical. The top layer will have to be solid and dry, or your troops, and, especially, Maka, will slip on the blood and might hurt themselves while climbing.

You put away Skullopener for now, and grab the closest lizardman by the neck instead, intercepting it as it charges you with a spear.

You turn his head 270° with a satisfying cracking noise and lay him down horizontally as the first step of the climb, and cave a second attacker's skull with a karate chop, moving up the path as you build it.

Once you're roughly one third of the way up, holding four hobgoblins by their broken necks with one arm as you lay them down one by one, you are suddenly struck by a terrible thought:

You glance down to your formation. Maka is down there, in her shredded yellow sweater, tiredly leading the troops with orders and directions. You've been about 30 meters away from her for the last ten minutes.

...come on, Tia, you're strong. You can do this.

Mental + War = 6 10 7 3 8 7 = 5 successes

You can't drop everything now. Maka would be sad.
Even if the cruel distance between you is putting an unbearable weight on your soul, you have to survive and carry on.

It's not long before you run out of self-moving raw materials for the ramp. The sudden change catches you by surprise, as you were mostly distracted by your cruel fate.

You look around yourself, at loss for what to do, until, carried by enthusiasm and bloodlust, your forces, led by the front by Samiel and with Maka safely embedded in the middle of their ranks, join up with you. They begin to pile and mass bodies haphazardly to fill up the last part of the ramp. It saddens you a bit that your beautiful work must be hurried up this way, but you guess there's no arguing with deadlines, and you do have one right now.

A tired, blood-spattered Zaan walks up to you. "Good job, Tia. You've been great." He shows his appreciation for your fine craftmanship nonetheless. At least someone here respects an artisan's skills.

What you're really longing for is Maka's praise (and, well, not just her praise), but the ramp is getting crowded, and it's a bit hard to catch back up with her, as you're separated by the flow of pumped-up pirates and bloodthirsty barbarians pushing onwards as they storm the castle.

You dive into your own ranks and grab the ever-slippery Silk, lifting her over your head as you dash ahead of your advancing front as they brutally clear out te fortress room after room.

"...hey, Tia? What are you doing?"

"I need you because we're going to kill Dorian and the throne room and then I'll bang Maka over that giant pile of corpses until we hit the ground."

"I'm not really following."

"Anyway let's kill Dorian." You make your intentions clear. "Where is he?"

While you're having this conversation you're running at random through the palace's formerly white immaculate corridors. You can see that this is confusin your passenger, so you stop and put her down.

That's about when an ambush is sprung on you, with a small contingent of lizardmen bursting out of a side door, weilding sharp-looking crystal weapons. Leaping at you with a chorus of annoying shrieks, they engage you and Silk. You easily dodge and sidestep their clumsy attacks, but you can't manage to strike back at them. You can assume that these soldiers are Dorian's elite.

Physical + War + Equip = 3 1 7 1 5 10 9 9 2 = 5 successes.

As the first of the lizardmen leaps onto you, you skewer him on Skullopener, running him all the way through. Brandishing your blade to face the other aggressor, you impale three more, one atop the other, but your blade is slowed down by the mass of bodies piling on it, and you fail to move it fast enough to parry a thrown javelin.
[-1 HP]
The lobbed weapon strikes you square in the head, penetrating your skull with its sharp head and sticking in it solidly.

After a moment of pause, you slash your way through the corpses stacked on your blade, and plunge it into the offender's neck.

You turn to see if Silk needs help, and find her with a lizardman impaled on two tentacles, a second being wringed to deat on several other appendages, and the remaining two desperately struggling for air, drowning inside her lower half.

She's doing fine. She has a few spears and javelins stuck through her at odd angles, though, but she doesn't seem to mind.

"Geez. These guys are so persistant. I think I'll get a different kind of hobgoblins if Maka lets me keep them. I can't deal with these." She says, before giggling at you, pointing at the spear stuck in your head.

"...You're one to talk." You reply, pulling the polearm out of you and tossing it aside. "Where do we go from here?"

She points. "That corridor for the throne room. Sown the stairs for the dungeon. Back for Maka."

This is way more mechanically coherent than an Exalted campaign, mostly because we only have to manage one PC and their bullshit fiat-powered abilities and splatterhouse combat.

Don't listen to him. The next edition's core book is at LEAST months away, and the next two books after that will be devoted to Dragon-blooded and Exigents. If you're interested in playing a Lunar, it will probably be YEARS until they're available in 3e.

Eh, it's not quite that. It's more that Lunar powers cost slightly more, last slightly less time, and provide a slightly smaller bonus than Solar Equivalents. They also have more prerequisites with trees that have junk prerequisites. Oh, and all of their everything costs slightly more experience than Solar stuff does.

The main things they're really amazing at are being a super-tanking monster, spamming sorcery, dominating social combat with twinked out Appearance, using combat forms that properly exploit super strength (like Infernal Monster Style martial arts), and using shapeshifting as disguises/mobility/survival/stealth options.

Oh, and they have the best Elsewhere charms.

Aside from those spheres of influence, they tend to be pretty lacking compared to Solars.

I don't see big issues with everything you listed. about prerequisites, I can always discuss about it with the DM eventually.
>Aside from those spheres of influence

Rolled 2

>>31198454
Definitely. Things like 'being accurate,' 'managing minions,' 'crafting,' and loads of other things. The things I listed can be stretched to cover a lot of things, but there's some design space that Lunars just aren't at all good at.

At any rate, yeah, it's easily fixable. Giving them the same XP rate as Solars, especially, does a lot to resolve their problems and let them have their own niches. Just remember, at their specialties, they'll only be slightly better than a Solar, and outside of their specialties they'll be dramatically worse than one.

War Form is based on your animal totem. Have a wolf totem? You're becoming a werewolf. Have a turtle totem? You're going to be a teenage mutant ninja turtle.

Unfortunately, you can't turn your arms into giant mouths, or have tentacles instead of eyes, unless that's something your totem already has for some reason.

Alright, well, any good Lunar has, aside from their totem, a fast form, a flying form, an aquatic form, and a tiny form. We know her flying form is a vulture, that her fast form is a horse, and that her aquatic form is a dolphin - aside from any other she might have, of course.

So, what should her tiny form be? The form she takes to unobtrusively spy, sneak through small spaces, and so forth. A tiny lizard? A mouse? A cockroach? It should be something common, small, and that most people wouldn't think twice about.

Realm DBs are encouraged to have at least two kids with their spouse. While banging outside the marriage is normal, having kids from it is highly taboo.

>>
>>31199754
>and adorable when he blushes because he can't handle sexual attraction from women more powerful than him.
It's probably because he's used to women being the more powerful sex and he feels kind of emasculated.

The Realm is basically a matriarchy, and men are considered overemotional hotheads who you have to just put up with their foibles and not take them seriously, kind of like women were in a lot of cultures.

This is made worse by the fact that he's a Fire Aspect, who are ALSO stereotyped as overemotional hotheads

If we start having her share her husband that means we're going to have to start sharing our husband with her.

Men are, women aren't. Having a baby more than once every five years causes DB women to age at an accelerated rate. They're encouraged to be extremely picky about who fathers their children - this is why DB women tend to take exclusively women as consorts and concubines.

Men, on the other hand, are encouraged to knock up as many people as possible as long as it won't prove problematic for inheritance concerns.

>>31199994
Monogamy is the norm in the Realm (at least among Dynasts) because every marriage is a centuries-long alliance between houses.

You're not going to leave Talon alone.

Grabbing Silk's arm and pulling her along, you rush down the stairs, your sword in the other hand.

"Where the heck does this lead?" You ask her, worried by the fact that the stairs seem to go way, way down, with no end in near sight. Without stopping, of course.

"I've never visited the dungeons myself." She admits. "I have no idea what Tarien Dorian keeps down here."

"My best." An angry reply echoes from the walls just as you arrive in a vast, dark, featureless room shrouded with fog. The Wyld is thick here, the whirling chaos tingling like a ringing bell in your eyes, making your hair stand on end. You feel like your body's being pulled in several different directions all at once, some of which don't even exist, and only your silver tattoos manage to keep your shape together, glowing through your skin and dress in response.

That voice was Tarien Dorian's. "Show yourself." You command, dropping Silk and holding your sword two-handed at the ready. "I don't even need all of you. Just the head would be enough, really."

"I'm afraid it's not going to be so easy, you barbarian." He replies, with a sigh. "...You don't really have ANY Idea of what you just did, do you?"

"Completely ruined any plan you had to turn this into some kind of heroic, fateful final confrontation between you plus brainwashed Talon vs. my adorable wife, in which some retarded, trite, meaningless cliché happens and everyone acts like it was completely unexpected." You reply, fairly sure of yourself. "Now, your head please."

Another sigh, more annoyed, echoes as the Wyld energy builds up, dimensions shaking. "I meant 'making me angry', actually. Fortunately, you're still in time to crawl out of this with your life intact. Go back to your precious "wife" and drag her here, and you'll be spared my wrath."

"The only reason I am going to go back to get Maka is for having victory sex over your violated corpse." Is your reply.

Is, uhh... is Maka into having sex on dead people?

After a brief silence, the fae only replies with a puzzled "what."

"You're so sure this story is all about you." You explain to him, since he's apparently retarded. "But you're wrong."

Now his voice is more amused. "...I'm sorry?"

"You're not some kind of master villain in an epic war drama. You're just like an incidental bad guy in a story arc of one of those cheap action novels published one chapter at a time. One of those pulpy, shitty stories choke full of sex and violence." You point at yourself. "And I still have my clothes on."

"...Is that how you think?" Silk seems to be intrigued by your thought processes.

"So." You ask to the gathering Wyld, trying to discern shapes and meanings in them. He's out there, hiding somewhere, and Talon's with him. "What was your plan? Was it really just putting Talon against Maka?"

"Probably." Is Silk's comment.

"What if it was?" The voice responds with a challenge.

"Well, I'd say that it was a really shitty plan." You glance at Silk, who nods vigorously. "Predictable. Clichè. Besides, it proves that you just don't care."

"Yes. I mean, it's pretty obvious that it should have been Samiel." The Fae supports your point of view.

"...Who?" You caught Darien off-guard.

"You know, they have that whole manly friendship forged on the battlefield thing." She explains.

"Right. Just like me and Maka."

She turns towards you. "You're not- Okay, but Maka's not- Okay you're both pretty manly in unusual ways, I'll admit."

"I can be pretty manly in the usual way too." You demonstrate.

"I- okay, you can put that away I think. Unless you plan on using it right now." She replies, feeling a bit intimidated.

"...That's not a bad idea in fact." You note.

"...It wasn't meant to be a suggestion, but I guess that-"

"...SHUT UUUP."

That scream gave you a definite idea of direction.

"I... I won't tolerate you ruffians staying in my castle, polluting my story, any longer."

"Dorian, show your face and I'm going to pollute YOU!" You reply, with the best retort ever. Silk desperately tries to hold back laughter.

"...Alright. Enough." You hear a roaring echo, as the fog suddenly coalesces and dissipates, revealing a scenery around you-

"...Oh, so THAT was the third Behemoth?" You're not too impressed.

The distorted living palace slithers up from its abyss, staring at you with several, scattered eyes. Some of its mouth belch fireballs made of frozen acid at you.

"Five talents say that he's keeping Talon inside that thing, at the top of the tallest tower." You bet.

"I have no idea who this Five Talents person is, but he sounds very knowledgeable." Silk replies, missing the point.

"...That's not what I- nevermind. Let's go." You command her, sidestepping a blast, which blows a hole in reality where you were standing up to a second ago.

"I'll follow, but I'll let you know that I'm focusing completely on preventing your senses from being exposed to the full power of the Wyld and keeping your little, limited brain from cracking like an egg from the pressure." She replies.

You point at... whatever that is. "So I'm not really seeing that? Am I seeing things through your sensory mediation now? What is that even? What am I seeing? What is reality? What is truth?"

"Sex and violence, Tia." She invites you. "Sex and violence."

"Right." You turn towards the thing. "Focus on what I do best."

"I'm conflicted." You state at Silk, who is still standing beside you.

"Huh?"

"Should I murder that building, or have sex with it?"

"...I see that I couldn't manage to keep the Wyld from seeping into your brain and driving you insane." She replies.

"I will do both then!" You resolve, brandishing your blade and charging through the structure's entrance, dodging incoming fireballs left and right. Deciding it's the right moment to do so, you pull your bloodsoaked veil off your head, wrap it around your neck like a crimson scarf, and yell, mid-leap, "TRANSFORM!", finding the time to strike an appropriate pose. Just to remind Dorian who is the main character here.

[DEADLY BEASTMAN RANSFORMATION x2]
[CUNNING HUNTER'S SPEAR]
[Essence: 4/7]

Your body rearranges itself into a lean, powerful, armor-plated insectlike combat machine, as blasts of corrosive wyld wash over your carapace harmlessly. Your dress vanishes, but your improvised scarf stays, flapping dramatically in the wind as you smash through the entrance gate's teeth and roll inside the building's soft tongue corridor.

Slashing your blade around you, you stab and cleave into the walls and pavement, cutting skin and flesh and drawing bubbling black blood.

As a reaction, you see a dark light gathering at the far end of the corridor, a blast of black fire growing your way with incredible speed.

>>31202574
it's not JUST sex, it's everything physically exhausting like running.

Lesser beings may run for a time and falter. They do not
internalize the motion until it uplifts and rejuvenates them.
Infernals with this Charm experience no fatigue while dashing.
Any existing fatigue penalties from prior exertions abate
for the duration, returning without improvement when the
character stops dashing. At Essence 3+, the act of continuously
dashing counts as rest for the purposes of alleviating
fatigue. At Essence 4+, prolonged dashing also counts as
meditation for the purpose of Essence recovery.
Reaching Essence 5+ initiates a more extreme metamorphosis,
as continuous dashing counts as sleep for all recuperative
purposes, including the opportunity for a Willpower recovery
roll every eight hours. The Infernal even dreams while dashing,
though this reflexively occurs on a separate level of consciousness
and does not impair conscious actions. The character
loses all recuperative benefits from actual sleep.
A second purchase of this Charm expands its scope to
include any form of continuous and normally fatiguing exertion
in addition to dashing. The exertion must involve significant
non-stationary movement. Gentle lovemaking would not suffice,
though a wild romp spilling from room to room would.

Striding confidently towards the oncoming flame, you slash at it with your daiklave in a grand motion, and are invested right a moment afterwards by a blast of pure, undiluted, all-consuming hate.

[HP: 4/6]

Despite your powerful armor, the black substance washes over you, burning, freezing, torturing. The pain makes you blank out for a few seconds, but you manage to restrain yourself from screaming with the though of how uncool it would sound if Maka were here to hear you.

You pull yourself back up, patting the heat-devouring flames burning on your carapace off.

"...Alright, you're going to pay for that."

The innards of this foul beast are ever-shifting, confusing and incomprehensible. As you open your eyes, you realize that you are in a different location than you were, and the entrance you smashed through is nowhere to be seen.

You're in a pinkish, circular room filled with heat and humidity. A criss-cross of corridors radiate in all directions, including up and down. You lost all reference points.

"You're pathetic." Dorian's voice mocks you. "You've only increased the number of Lunars I'm holding prisoner in my maze from one to two. Oh!" He sounds like he just had an idea. "Of course. I'll just have to focus on breaking you, rather than Talon, and then send you against Maka. It'll be MUCH more interesting."

You'd love to lash back at him, but you have really no idea how to act in this situation.

"Mazes." You mumble, slamming a hand against a corner. It produces a wet noise. "I hate mazes."

You grab the fleshy wall with both hands, and begin pulling.

"I don't care about mazes. I want YOU, asshole."

And pulling.

"I want to use your skull as a drinking cup."

And pulling

"And I want to save Talon."

And pulling some more.

"And then I want to bang Maka until all of my dicks fall off."

All of your muscles tense as your pull begins to rip horrendously the meaty wall's flesh, spreading blood all around you in gory sprays

Not enough.

Too little, to slow.

You take a deep breath, wiping sweat off your brow, glancing around yourself, at the twisty maze of little passages, all like, spreading endlessly around you - mindgames within mindgames, trick to make you waste time, more delays and obstacles between you and that damn faerie's skull.

You expand, bursting beyond the narrow confines of the cramped rooms and spaces the meat maze allowed you. Your many tentacles stretch far and wide, through passages and corridors, filling up every turn, every gap, every tunnel and room of this cursed building.

Finally, you explode it from the inside.

You wrap your tentacles around the topmost tower and slam it down angrily, one, two, three times before calming down.

The scenery around you is nothing more than an endless valley of blood, gore and broken meat now. You draw your body up to that shred of the once-terrifying structure, slimming down back to your armored warform to walk in it, your sword rematerializing in your hand as you do so.

The tower looks like a prison alright: the corridors and rooms are crooked, but you see, sealed inside a tube similar to a sac of liquid grown from the skin of the beast, Talon's faintly-visible outline, passed out in a nightmarish sleep.

Standing up and dusting his clothes, Dorian gazes upon you with disdain. He opens mouth, about to share some trite, long-practiced line with you about how much he sucks and he's going to die and how awesome whatever you just did was.

Maybe.

You lunge and stab Skullopener through him.

The slippery little Raksha bastard nearly gets out of the way in time, getting only grazed by your blow, which is, still, forceful enough to slash through his skin and draw blood.

He rolls on the ground, to the side, standing back up with a backflip in which three long crystal blades are launched at you. Pulling your blade back, you quickly parry the first two, and swat the third aside with a backhanded blow.

"My, my, you're really the worst." He mumbles, sliding two fingers on his wound, a slight cut in his side, and looking idly for a second at his own rainbow-colored blood. "Not a care in the world. No sense for a proper story. Just a bundle of brainless, hotblooded stupidity. I hoped for something better from a shapeshifter such as you."

>Charge him, slam the flat of the daiklave on his head, hope you nail the "volume off" button.

You approach with a quick step and slam Skullopener sideways into Dorian's temple, sending him flying into a wall which he hits with a disgusting squishy sound.

"Oh, that shut you up." You spin the blade playfully. "So, you got any more tricks?"

Struggling to stand back upright, the fae bastard steps back from you.

"Oh, right, Maka smashed your armies one after another." You whack him on the right thigh, hard, and he whimpers, rolling to the side and losing his footing again.

Scuttling away, he makes a wide, desperate gesture against you, creating a long spear of growing crystal flying towards your eyes.

>Smash it with Skullopener, step into his guard, kick his stomach in.

"We killed your nobles, except one which Maka made into her pet." You grab the onrushing spear, its sharp edges scratching horribly into your hands, cracking your exoskeleton.

[HP: 3/6]

Finally, the spear stops, resting in your hands. You turn it around and toss it back, and it explodes against Dorian as he tries to find shelter behind a corner of the bizarre complex, but shards of the explosion reach him in a painful volley of shrapnel, and he falls back down.

"And, by my count, you're all out of Behemoths as well."

The Raksha prince, though horribly wounded, raises his fists in a guard stance, his eyes sharply examining every your move.

"Don't you have any other party tricks?"

>Vertical slash. Gonna cut him in two from head to groin.

[Weapon damage boost used]

A moment before the impact of your weapon, Dorian's face turns into that of some white-haired, dark-skinned woman you don't recognize.

You slam your blade edgefirst into his neck, and the enchanted moonsilver's razor-sharp edge sinks into it up to the bone, followed by a highly decorative spray of blood coloring the room.

"H-How... how could you... do this... to your beloved..." He gurgles, gasping for air, his face returning to normal.

You squint. "...What the heck- Wait, you mean that that was supposed to be Maka?" You can't help but laugh. No way that ugly hag looked anything LIKE her. You twist the blade in the wound, going deeper, scratching his neck bone. "That.. That didn't have even one sixty-fourth of one hundredth of one part per million of Maka's hotness." You twist the blade deeper. "Any more tricks?"

"Y... you should know something by now..." He whimpers, his hands desperately patting the wall behind him...

...Wait, that's not a wall. That's Talon's torture capsule!

"...a Fae Lord always has another trick ready!"

You have no idea how he did that, but he touches the bubble in such a way that his fingers sink deeply into the seemingly-tough semitransparent skinlike substance, and the entire surface just *pop*s in a blast of disgusting, nightmarish liquid.

Talon, eyes closed, raises his hands with uncertain movements.

"Ahah! Now, Tia, face your old comrade in battl-"

He shuts up when Talon grabs his arms and, pulling in two separate directions, tears them off at the shoulder.

"....And you should have known, by now, that Lunars don't fall for them." He mumbles, before quietly passing out by your feet.
