For example, a two-step plan would take the first 6 linked rolls. A particularly bad failure can interrupt a string of actions.When rolling 1d100, I will consider criticals within the first ten linked rolls. Only criticals that occur in the first three rolls will be counted as "supercrits". This is still the case even if you'd have plan long enough to require more than ten rolls.When rolling 1d20, the rules are the same, but I only consider criticals for the first five rolls, rather than ten. Criticals in the first three are still "supercrits".When a plot choice results in extensive debate, I'll try to weed out the most popular trains of thought, and then call a vote on them. When voting, please respond with only a link back to the post and the number corresponding to your opinion. Other votes are discounted, including those with dice rolls or extra spaces.Finally, note that this is not a democracy; it is a benevolent dictatorship.
Recent Events Summary:The war meeting has come and gone. While Fang's battle plan went relatively unopposed, Sandalphon will be joining you when you infiltrate Kan-Abar to kill the summoners that are maintaining the demon lords. Of course, he needs them for his own plan - so his help is likely to be mixed. At the same time, you actually need his plan to be successful - up to the point that he brings Sir Flint out into the open.After the meeting, you decided to place your teleport anchor at the battlefield in preparation, and then traveled to Kan-Abar to scout out the enemy headquarters and add the Earth mana pool there to your growing manaport network. The mages have seemingly been slowly corrupted by the demons - their minds are bent away from the possibility of compromise and peace. A young mage named Delan, that appears to have resisted this process, was almost cornered when he spoke his worries about the demons aloud, but having followed him through the palace, you snatched him from the jaws of death, along with a two of his servant aquaintences.Delan has told you a few things you didn't know - the fourth and most powerful demon lord shares the elements of Wind and Lightning, and while magically powerful, is relatively physically weak. He's also told you that the weakness of Kan-Abar's fire towers is their fuel source, the fire mana pool.After leaving him to be questioned by your allies, you meditated, and then decided to speak with the Black Lady about the Staff of Winds before your double date. Abigail came with you; she did most of the talking. Melody was reluctant to accept your vision of a redeemable Yi Fang; old hurts and valid suspicions are keeping her at bay. She has yet to make a committment either way, but said she would at least hear him out.>con't
The date was a bit tense, but Fang let his guard down and went on about a few stories from his past. After dinner, he and the Black Lady walked home alone. You and Abigail both promptly went to spy on them.Fang - having picked up on a few tells - deduced that the Black Lady was in fact Melody. Both of them revealed their true feelings, good and bad. Ultimately, they reconciled, and rediscovered something they had believed lost.Later, you met with Auriel. Hecate agreed to take her to see Donovan within his dream, though things between them aren't particularly peachy. While they were gone, you had a strange conversation with Adavan, in which he implied that Hecate's goals might not align with your own. You also learned that Hecate can hear any nearby telepathic speech, reguardless of if it was directed only at particular persons or not.Auriel informed you that while Charmeine is stuck in her position as a moderate influence within the Ring City, the more enigmatic Raphael wants to speak with you the following morning. In the meantime, you're going to see Fang and cook up some airship-related trouble for Kan-Abar's forces.

>>31267406LET'S FUCKING GO CHAPS
>>31267398Not bad.---------------->Last time..."Alright," you say, "you convinced me. Have at those mines.""Construction is beginning," Steward says. "Now.""How would you gauge Kan-Abar's fire towers as a priority?" you ask him. "You've heard Delan's intel?""I have.""I'm thinking about trying to disable them. But...""The fire towers are designed to eliminate aerial targets," Steward says. "As we are no longer dropping in troops by airship, it would seem unnecessary effort to remove them as a factor in your efforts to kill the demon summoners. Once you are on the ground, they are not a threat. While disrupting their power source would be helpful overall, it does not advance our immediate goals, and risks drawing unwanted and dangerous attention.""...oh. I suppose you might be right.""Further," Steward says, "Sandalphon will likely be flying outside the city. Perhaps it would be better to leave them intact for other reasons.""...heh. I think I get it."Steward gives you a mechanical nod and walks off.It's well past midnight, now, in the early morning. After today, there are three days until the battle begins. According to the plan, Fang aims to launch the first harrying assault a few hours before first light.You decide you need to put a dent in the enemy airforce - in particular, return control of as many of Kelvere's vessels as possible to Duke Vellik. With that in mind, you make your way toward Fang's room.When you open the door, the room is empty. On the back wall is a portal, set into the stone. You eye it suspiciously - it seems to lead into what looks like Yi Fang's study, back in Archon."Well, I assume you were coming to see me," calls Fang. "Don't stand there like a fool."You inch forward and step your way through the portal. Fang is seated at his great wooden desk. The wide window at the back of the room shows you a view of a night-lit Archon. Duke Vellik is seated in one of the plush chairs before the desk.>con't
>>31267398I dislike it when primal forces are portrayed with humanoid figures. So I envision them to be shoggoths/amorphous tentacle things of their respective element.
"Since when did you have this set up?""Since we arrived, obviously," Fang says. "You don't think I trust anyone else to run this place, do you?""I suppose not.""You have good timing, Shadow," Vellik says. "We were discussing something important. I have a certain arms store outside of Kelvere. If I could gain access to it prior to the battle, my troops would be a lot better off. While I'm short on numbers, I might make up for that in power.""What sort of store are we talking about?""Dwarven technology.""I thought you destroyed your laboratory when the demon lord attacked."Fang sighs. "Just when I think he's making progress.""Never put all your valuables in one place, Shadow," Vellik says."Right. So how do I figure into this?""Simple," Vellik says. "We need a distraction to keep the brutes occupied while I slip in and collect my things. We've both agreed that this whole thing should be on a need-to-know basis, where our allies are concerned.""And the angels don't need to know.""Precisely. And you're our best distraction. I'd wager quite a bit on it.""Well," you say, "I'm planning on appropriating an airship or three. Get your fleet back under your control. I think I can manage a distraction."Vellik raises an eyebrow. "While I applaud your ambition, getting an airship back here alone will probably be a considerable struggle.""I've got my methods.""If you say so, I won't argue. I'm prepared to leave immediately. Night will cloak us."What do you do?>head on out as planned>ask Vellik to wait; you want to go alone tonight>some other strategy
>>31267449Let's get to stealing
>>31267449ask him how he plans on bringing these weapons back and how long we need to distract
>>31267449>head on out as plannedAirships disappearing into thin air should provide a good distraction...Though honestly I feel Vellik would be fine on his own considering he has Magnocks staff, but I suppose having all the help he can get is okay too.mah husbando
>>31267591and if it will just be himself and us, offer to get the weapons back for him since if we went on our own there wouldnt need to be a distraction
>>31267449Details.How much is he transporting? How is he transporting? How much of a distraction does he need? How well does Magnocks staff cover for him?
>>31267613just imagine all those kanians falling out of the sky because their airship just vanished from under them, no wings to save them like those pesky rats with wings
>>31267620I imagine there's a super special lock only he can open or something along those lines, but yeah, let's raise up that point for some clarity.
>>31267398I imagined Erebus as looking like Zaros, and then the Temerity pics looked pretty much exactly like that so it confirmed it in my mind. I always thought of Hecate like a greek statue made of glowing orangey marble.Geb is good.Leviathan I imagine as a bigass sea-dragon fish whale thing with ice spiking out of it.Hyperion probably looked more person-y, but I like light elementals that look like they're made of shapes and glowing runes.Raijin spot onAeolus was a green dragon (but I always imagined him as a genie before we found out he was a dragon). Logi was a phoenix, but I always thought of him was like just a big fireball vaguely shaped like a pyramid with spider legs. Not sure why, though.
>>31267449>>head on out as plannedWe're the airship thief.
>>31267704>but I always thought of him was like just a big fireball vaguely shaped like a pyramid with spider legs.wut
We can only take 1 airship at a time correct?And we should defintely keep at least 1 of the airships for Nemesis to eat
Huh, how many people know we can pocket an airship SM? I haven't been keeping track. Does anyone?
"It would probably be easier if I went alone," you say."That would involve revealing the location," Vellik says. "I understand if that makes you reticent.""Are you going to be able to bring back everything on your own? How long of a distraction will you need?""I'll be using a bit of my own magic to transport the goods a safe distance away. I have a unit already in position to receive me. We'll be retreating across the river and into the Great Forest, then heading south from there to join my main force. If you can give me, oh, ten minutes or so, I'll be in, out, and on my way.""You must have had a lot of confidence that I was going to help you to go ahead and do all that."Vellik shrugs. "I would have gone anyway. I can't allow the demons any advantages.""What exactly are these weapons?""That," Vellik says, "is sensitive. And private." His eyes slant toward Yi Fang. Maybe you can get him to tell you later. But maybe you'd rather know right now.What do you do?>ask for more details before you depart>head on out>some other strategy
>>31267747agreed, we gotta feed some to the nemesis and give the rest to auriel
>>31267747>We can only take 1 airship at a time correct?our pocket is only limited by space, so depending on the size of the ships we can get more than one ship
>>31267786No one voted to go alone.
>>31267786Better not fucking be the equipment and techniques for soul trapping mages that he was talking over with Lucifer before.
>>31267786>>head on outlet's get this show on the road
>>31267786<You both love your surprises, don't you? Well, I've got some airships to steal. Let's go.>
>>31267786head on out
>>31267786>ask for more details before you departWe can just ask for the general details of what he's getting right? Steward ought to be an expert of old Dwarven weaponry.
>>31267786Now that I think of it, Vellik isn't part of our inner Erebus/Hecate awareness circle, is he?Hmm.
>>31267786We have unparalleled stealth and an extra-dimensional storage space. Why don't WE just go and get his weapons?
>>31267786when we arive we should have Wisp bro follow him to make sure hes not doing anything uncool behind our backs. what happened to shade after we gave him to stu, is he gone, can we remake him?
Just gonna post a couple pics of hat i imagine some things to be.>If Erebus had servanted some Black Hand members
>>31267882Probably because he likes his secrets.>>31267890...Wait, when did that happen? Where is Shade?
>>31267882He doesn't want to reveal the location of his secret stash.>>31267890Shade is back in your pocket and fully repaired.--------------writing for head on out
>>31267892>lla being successfully servanted by Hyperion
>>31267917If all he has is the one secret stash, I am really disappointed in Velik.
>>31267929>damnAlso, if we can ever find another expert on angel souls, well, pic related.
>>31267917which is more SNEAK, wisp or shade?whichever one has most SNEAK should tail the duke to keep an eye on him.
>>31267949maybe "reignite" it with Shadow and then maybe they won't clash?
Uhh, did you guys forget to ask Fang for the locations of the Airships in Kelvere?
>>31267929>Our shadow Dragon dude
>>31268007>Leviathan
>>31267983>>31267949SM confirmed that Michael was lying out of his ass to get into her pants.
>>31267992yes but we'll just wing it, everything will work our
>>31268029wild speculation anon.
>>31268028>Auriel and Charemein, though i've already posted this
Adavan is cool with Hecate and she's unsettling thought-police as fuck and will squash opposition like a bug because "Bitch, I'm a god".He straight up said that he hated being around Erebus because they were terrifying.Kinda makes you think about things.
>>31267992They're bigass airships powered by the magical equivalent of fusion reactors.How hard could they be to miss?
>>31268087Does it? I'm doing my best not to think about the personalities of the elementals.
"Alright," you say. "Then let's get going."----------------------About a two hour's flight later, you arrive on a high hilltop outside of Evinbrook.The castle looms on the cliffside over the river. The structure is still beaten and broken from the earlier battle; the occupying forces haven't bothered trying to repair the towers. Rather, the massive armies have sprawled out over the suburbs covering the nearby landscape. Forts of wood and stone populate the landscape at strategic high points, built by engineering and earth magic. The landscape has been heavily altered. Trenches and spiked earthworks form perimeters around the main encampments and the new fortifications. They almost seem to be ignoring the structures that are already there entirely."Hmm," Vellik says. "Clever.""What is?""They know me. They know better than to try and use my own city as a defensive position, so they made their own outside of it." He eyes the sprawling armies and torches. "There. Two airships."You look up. There are indeed two shadows floating high in the clear night sky, circling the armies below in a clearly defensive formation. One is long, very long, and fluted, as if built for speed. Its front end is drawn out to a narrow point. The other ship is similarly slim, but much shorter. It bristles with guns."The small one is the Bolt," Vellik says, "my rapid assault ship. If I'm not mistaken, the other is the Painted Sword, one of Kan-Abar's airships. It's designed for ramming.""A ramming airship?"Vellik nods. "Certainly. Good for attacking and boarding larger, more sluggish gunships." He scans the sky. "The other airships must be patrolling. Well, this is where we part. I'll wait until I hear a commotion.">press Vellik for details on his stash>go for the Painted Sword>assault the Bolt>some other strategy
>>31268106We don't want to attract the attention of a demon lord, so we can't Deep Focus>Lucifer
>>31268128We had a portal in the middle of the fields, why would it take us 2 hours?>Auriel
>>31268128Whatever we do, we're getting out of here with a) samples of dwarven tech for steward and b) an airship for the Nemesis to eat.
>>31268128>>go for the Painted Sword>Raijiin and Logi fighting
>>31268128>Pocket the BoltTry flying up to it and blinking inside before attempting the pocket.That takes the fast airship out of the way, then go for the Painted Sword.
>>31268164I didn't consider that method of transport. Alright, you teleported to your portal in the Evinbrook basin, and it was only a half-hour flight north.
>>31268172Several Airships.I say we give the Painted Sword to Auriel and give the Bolt to Nemesis
>>31268206I say the other way around, because the Bolt is Velliks while the Painted Sword is Kan-Abars.
>>31268200can we get both?If so then do itNeither seem big
>>31268190Note that you cannot pocket these two airships at the same time with your current space capacity.
>>31268206Yes because I'm sure Vellik will appreciate his ship being cannibalized.
>>31268172Well we're not getting the Bolt eaten
>>31268128>go for the Painted Sword>Pocket
>>31268087Maybe she can change, like Auriel has. If she can't change, then we will have to do our Erebus thing and remove her from the cosmos. If we can.
>>31268228WELL FUCK YOU TOOLETS TRY IT ANYWAY
>>31268128>>31268128>>some other strategyAsk Vellik about any mana pools in the city so that we can just port out and come back immediately for another ship after we pocket the first.
>>31268228K. Go for the Bolt first, and leave the ramming airship for second.Since it seems pretty stupid to leave the faster airship in the sky.
>>31268128can we have either shade or wisp follow the duke, whichever is stealthier to see what exactly these weapons are, his reluctance to say is somewhat sketchy. then get the ramming ship, I remember what happened when the Nemisis was rammed so thats a high priority target.
>>31268231We can give him Kan-abars as recompense
>>31268264You've been to Evinbrook several times. I'm not sure if I ever described the Lightning mana pool there, but it wouldn't be useable for a manaport, as you recently discovered after touching the Wind mana pool in Arland.Vote 1:>the BoltVote 2:>the Painted Sword
>>31268228Then we'll get one at a time and come back for more.
>>31268128I'll throw in with both of these:>>31268264>>31268286
>>31268286Uhh the Rammin one is faster.But better to take the gun one first
>>312683002
>>31268128We should get Steward's assistance in determining what tech Vellik has, later. There is no greater expert on dwarven technology.
>>312683001
>>31268300can we send shade or wisp to follow duke please?
>>31268300Cutting off votes.>>31268346One thing at a time, Anon.--------------------------Alright, second vote.Do you spy on Duke Vellik?Vote 1:>send ShadeVote 2:>send Wisp (more stealth, less ability)Vote 3:>don't spy on him
>>31268311Actually it is the opposite. The rapid assault ship built for speed, and the slightly larger gun bristling rammer.Since once we pocket one, the other will be made aware of our presence, which means whichever ship we deal with first will wind up with us having to deal with the other later on.Which is harder for us to deal with personally, is what I think it comes down to.
>>31268346secondingmeant to second this when you first posted but food was calling
>>312683892
>>312683893
>>31268392Whichever one is faster of the two, we will be much faster than them.The gun one will be harder to deal with.
Wisp gets our passive stealth bonus correct?
To those who seem confused:BOLT - FASTSWORD - STONG
>>31268459Bolt is the one with all the guns you retard
>spying on muh husbandoguiiizecan't you just wait for the surpriiiise?>>31268440I'm not sure, really. Though it's been settled I see challenges either way. I'm mostly thinking that Vellik will like us more for prioritizing his airship. Because he's my husbando.
>>31268392cutting off votes
>>31268459You look up. There are indeed two shadows floating high in the clear night sky, circling the armies below in a clearly defensive formation. One is long, very long, and fluted, as if built for speed. Its front end is drawn out to a narrow point. The other ship is similarly slim, but much shorter. It bristles with guns.read this VERY carefully
>>31268440the Bolt is easier to deal with. >>31268472It also has less magic resistance.
So we Pocket and then immediately Supersonic correct?
>>31268459Bolt: Slim, Short, Much Gun. Duke Velliks rapid assault ship.Painted Sword: Long, Pointy, built for speed and ramming. Kan-Abar bad momma.
>>31268517i want to infiltrate the ship and eat the crew for XP instead of letting them get eaten by the skysever
>>31268513Bolt would be harder to deal with if it knew we were there due to all the guns.If it saw us then that's a lot of firepower directed at us.As opposed to the minimal weaponry aboard the Painted sword.
>>31268459>>31268493You ask Vellik for some information about the ships. He tells you that they're both fast, but that the Painted Sword is probably faster; he's never seen it in action. The Bolt, however, possesses much more firepower.------------------Alrighty. We're targeting the Bolt, and sending Wisp after Vellik.Roll 1d100

Your wisp quietly rests in the grass behind Vellik as you take flight.You glide quietly into the night, leaving the Duke behind. You slowly gain altitude, taking your time so as to not attract attention from anything below.The flickering lights of the encampments and patrols are spread throughout the highlands. You can feel two of the demon lords; powerful presences of mana. The third - supposedly in Kelvere - isn't within the range of your sensing.The ruined castle dwindles to the size of a toy fort. The encampments are now flickering twinkles of light and motion.You pass the altitude of your target, the Bolt, and drift on a warm updraft. The rumbling airship follows a regular path. It steadily drifts under you, powered by a core of Lightning. You can feel the dynamo turning inside of it, and the magic bristling on its armor, keeping the Skyserver at bay.And you can feel the prickle of that Wind magic starting to gravitate toward you...What do you do?>try to pocket the ship outright>first get inside and disable the engine>some other strategy
>>31268584>.gifI can't tell if the dots are moving or not.Help.
Hey SM a gift for you.

>>31268812How would sneaking inside attract a demon lord?All we're doing is disabling the dynamo, and then Pocketing the airship when it's depowered.
>>31268812yes
>>31268743if we pocket, can we try and eat as many tasty mages as we can before they hit the ground?
>>31268743>>try to pocket the ship outrightTime for MAXIMUM DISTRACTION
Roll 1d100 to Nightblaze and Pocket2 actions, 6 rolls
>>31268835Well, there's a shield between the airship and us currently. It seemed wise last time to disable the Ragnaroks' shield before attempting to pocket it, I feel much the same this time.>>31268848Ohhh yes, oh yes.
>>31268836>>31268838If we get seen by a demon the the demon lord will know via the whole nether bullshit.Even if that isn't true then if a fight breaks out then they will undoubtedly be able to detect us due to it being staffed by magic users (demons) and being able to tell they're gone. This probably applies to if we just stealthily eat one because even if they don't sense us then they'll sense the absence of their friend.

At least trying to nightblaze the shields made it easier to attempt to pocket, r-right?
>>31268940Shard boost, this is important to us and Vellik.I could literally get him killed. Plus dwarf weapons AND an airship.

>>31268686He planning on using that natural 1 he got stored for to put things back to what he originally wanted for. Add a time skip into that as well and boom Everything he plan for is back on schedule. He type it out on the hugbox. There was a discussion on how much involvement should the Gm and the players have on the quest after SM said it. Cosgrove and some others GM were there as well. They know of SM plans of returning the plot as he originally planned. It was 2/3 months ago. I assume he still got that natural 1 in stock. This is right after the bullshit thing about digger quest with the whole charisma stat gone for bass and the whole route/king blade shitstorm on princess quest.He also using the natural one as a way to control the questers with fear.
>>31268867Gonna call a vote on whether to use shards or not?

>>31269038We did.------------------You open your wings, rising higher. Your mana condenses into a black ball of power. A moment later, the Nightblaze fires. The condensed orb slams into the airship, and the Lightning on the outside crackles and flickers in angry protest as your spell spins in place, fighting the defensive shielding.You sweep in a moment later, push your hand against the armor, and - The Lightning flares up! A blast of gold electricity annihilates your arm. You spin down and away, the right half of your body smoking. You manage to right yourself and maintain your altitude.>you've taken 5 damage>mana: 65/76>HP: 76/81The Skysever starts to bite at the edges of your wings...>you've taken 1 damage>HP: 75/81The gun nest under one of the nearby canons slides open, revealing a translucent, rounded window.

>>31269184thats not how blink works. there is a solid window in the way

>>312691951
>>31269195I suppose we could just land on top and punch a hole inside.
Mind Crush? Shadow Domination? Fire a Shadow Beam through the window?

>>31269195If we do manage to board the ship then they're pretty much screwed
>>31269255I figure we just punch the window and ink inside.But blink to the window first, of course, to avoid getting shot out of the sky.
>>31269255Can we Earthforge the cannon shut?>>31269273Or that.
>>31269233it's always rainbows anon>>31269205For the sake of clarity, and because it's very important given what I just said, you can Blink where you can see. I've answered this question several times in the past. You can't Blink through a brick wall, but you can Blink through a chain link fence. You can Blink through a window.Alternatively>>31269228>>31269255
>>31269195can we Blink through glass?
>>31269279lets blink inside of his mouth and explode his head
>>31269279We can Blink through a window? Sweet. Let's blink!
>>31269279>Blink through the window>CHOMP
>>31269279>You can Blink through a window.There we have it.Blink behind that soldier.
>>31269279Sorry for getting mad ( ;_;)also blink it then
>>31269279>You can Blink through a windowI did not realise that.
>>31269279In the past you said that we couldn't blink through any solid objects and that the chainlink fence only worked because there are gaps in it.I'm glad you changed it to work through glass, though, because I thought it was dumb that it didn't work through it.
>>31269279Okay. We'll blink through the window, go to the engine room and disable the power conduits connecting the dynamo to the rest of the ship, pocket the ship, and bam.Hopefully steward can repair whatever we do to the damn thing.
>>31269205Actually, to your credit, I may have said something like this:>You can Blink through anything that you would have to walk up to and Ink through, as long as you can see a position through itHowever, I've been operating on the assumption that you knew you could Blink through windows and other translucent surfaces for I don't know how many threads, so we'll go with a strong Blink.
>>31269314Or jsut Pocket it now that we're inside the shields
Roll 1d100 to...deal with...The soldier!
So, since we can apparently blink through windows, we can always just go to the front overlook deck of an airship and blink right into the command hub. Neato.

You Blink into the gun nest.It's a little cramped in here - there's just room enough for the gunner's seat. You appear inside, squashed somewhat up above on the ceiling. The word "auto" is flashing on the gun's console.The man is fumbling for some sort of device hooked to the wall. When he hears the cannon start to swivel, he glances back. He stares out the window, his eyes hunting for his missing target.You fall upon him and consume him in seconds. Not much of a meal; not much resistance.>you've gained 2 health (78/81)It seems you've entered the airship without being detected, for the moment. But Duke Vellik still needs his distraction.Hmm.You could pocket the airship outright - but you don't know how it would react with the engines still active. Perhaps you should disable the engines, first?If you did that, though, the thing would start dropping right out of the sky....and onto the armies below. A good distraction. Vellik's 'stash' might be worth it.But then you'd really be risking an encounter with a Demon Lord. Right now, that could prove lethal.What do you do?>try to pocket the ship immediately>head to the engines and see about disconnecting the dynamo>destroy the engine, causing the airship to plummet and be torn at by the skysever for maximum chaos>some other strategy

>>31269455Eclpise buffs allies.We don't have any allies to buff, kinda pointless. Not to mention it's night so it's barely noticable.And Dark blizzard isn't as big as you think it is.
>>31269457We can't CONSUME the dynamo and then Pocket the airship?
>>31269471I'll second disguising ourselves as that guy we ate while we snoop around the ship.
Rolled 39>>31269471We could turn the guns of the ship onto teh ground forces. It would only take a few summons/wisps to aim donw and pull the triggers. Then, pocket and vanish
>>31269471BRILLIANT!>>31269493That would put everyth
>>31269483It's the Duke's ship.
>>31269493this guy has a fuckin plan if i ever saw one

>>31269503-ing on high alert, which we don't want.>>31269507...Shit. Forgot.
>>31269483Then the Airship is much less usefull than with the dynmo
>>31269415Fire turrets at other ship.
>>31269493We don't have summons and wisps wouldn't be able too.We would need to take the bridge and i'm not comfortable with that since a Demon Lord knows we're here since the Airship fired on us.
>>31269415Wow we pocketed the other airship no problem what's the difference here faggotprime dickQM.
>>31269547The guy didn't get a chance to fire.
Send Shade to create chaos on board by killing people and, if possible, firing guns at the ground. Meanwhile, we take the dynamo offline.
>>31269562The shield hit us and i'm positive that lets them know
>>31269560We used a shard last time.
Why not just pocket it now? We're already inside the shields and we have unlimited trys.
Vote 1:>head for the engines to disconnect the dynamoVote 2:>take over the bridge; turn the airship's weapons on its allies
>>31269566I like the idea of coordinating with Shade to fire upon the ground forces just before we disconnect the dynamo and go for the pocket.
>>312695922
>>312695921
>>31269592Head for the bridge and kill everyone there, have Shade activate the weapons and shoot the ground forces, then go to the engine room and kill everyone there.
Loitering here while there's a deomn lord about is really really dumb guys.
>>31269624You really must be new here huh? Not even trying to insult you.
Perhaps we could take Abigail on one of these excursions. Unlike others, she doesn't suffer any ill effects from being in our pocket, and she is protected by an Artifact that has yet to be tested in combat. Besides that, she's no slouch with her own magic.
>>31269638Yeah, I know, don't do complicated plans because DIIIIIIIICE
>>31269639Abbys probably stronger than us.
>>31269592Alright, we're heading for the bridge.Do you use Shade to cause chaos, or stick to your main objective quickly and quietly?
>>31269660>Abbys probably stronger than us.No.Even if she was 2x as adept as magic as we are, she'd still be weaker.Because dice.
>>31269669Quick and quiet. Causing an alert might make a demon lord teleport up here.
>>31269669If we use shade can we also send them impressions of their loved ones being tortured by shadow tentacle or something to that effect?
>>31269669You mean engines?Cause engines won
>>31269669Wait what, the bridge? SM... most of those votes are for 1.
>>31269669>quickly and quietlyeat anyone along the way, gaping maw if trouble
>>31269669Stick to the objective. For being made of Order, we are quite good at creating chaos all by ourselves.
>>31269669No Shade.And Engines.
>>31269707>>31269691>>31269692woops! Meant engines.
>>31269689How about we not?

You decide that, first, you need to accomplish your main goal of disabling and Pocketing this airship.The engines should be easy enough to find - the humming, whirling core of Lightning resonates throughout the craft. You open the door of the gun nest and fine yourself in a hallway lined with similar doors on one side - all leading to the cannons for manual operation. You duck under a steel crossbeam and tramp down the hall.You turn through an intersection. The dynamo is below you, and ahead. You go straight, and then start looking for a stairwell. You notice a sign with a stick figure moving on stairs etched on it, and soon you've made your way down into the bowels of the ship.The doors to the engine room are propped open. The repetitive roar of pistons, steam, and oiled iron clanking and grinding fills the air. You peek into the engine room.Lightning washes over you. It doesn't feel as oppressive as it once might - you've gotten stronger.On the far side of the room is the Lightning Dynamo, a sphere of crackling gold light contained by whirling adamantium shielding and power-converting devices. There's a wall of levers next to it. One of those probably shuts it off, or stops the spinning. Or something. You're not really an expert.There is one mage that feels like fire, standing at a console containing various readouts. He wears a pair of protective ear plugs. Five soldiers are gathered around a table much closer to you; they're playing cards, and not wearing anything on their ears. The mage is probably the engineer.In sight are three demons. Two satyrs, also of fire, flank the mage. A fat ugly Imp is sitting up in the rafters, eyeballing the soldiers from between a bundle of cables. It feels like Wind and Lightning.What do you do?>strategies

>>31269955Shutting it down will be easy, just turn all the switches the other way.
>>31269953I'll second this since sleep gas doesn't work on powerful enemies and we have to wait for toxic smog to kill them.

You unpocket Shade and catapult him across the room. <Keep the mage busy!><Understood.>>mana: 64/76Shade lands on a knee and springs into an attack. One of the satyrs dives forward to protect its master. It's smashed into the wall of the ship by one of Shade's fists, but that provides enough time for the mage to start preparing magic.Meanwhile, the guards are falling over themselves trying to get out of their chairs and figure out what's going on. The Imp has already turned to face Shade from its perch. A mixed beam of wind and lightning begins to churn between its hands.And then you're behind it. It glances back. Its eyes widen. Your, twisting, ripping maw slams shut over its head.It's fighting back! The legs under you kick as it tries to drag itself back out. But it's no use. In a few moments, you've eviscerated and dissolved its head. The rest of the body follows even as if evaporates into its component magic.>you've gained 2 EXP (8)>you've gained 5 mana (69/76)Your meal completed, you reorient. Shade's outer casing looks pretty seared, but the other satyr has been blown in half by shadow magic. The mage is shooting waves of fire at Shade, who is skating around the floor on shadow, swiftly closing the gap.Three of the soldiers are bolting for the exit!

>>31270641My thinking is that even with terrible or mediocre rolls a maxed Terror should still do something positive, it's a lot of mana into instilling fear after all.
Terror slams down over the room, a palpable fear that makes the guards stumble and the mage's spell flicker.But the Lightning Dynamo reacts angrily to the spirit magic! The shuddering Spirit dissipates quickly. Shade dodges wildly to avoid being melted to slag by a bolt of plasma.While you couldn't stop the three guards leaving the room, you've still got time to stop the last one from reaching his goal. You Blink down between the soldier and the wall. Your shadowy limb sinks into his skull with almost no resistance; he dies instantly.

>>31270691Blink ahead of the guards going up the stairs and then just physically attack them or gaping maw, whichever is faster.Hopefully if we block the stairwell with our body they won't be able to get anywhere and we can take care of them easily.
>>31270691Summon a Spirit
We really need to just Pocket some regular rocks to throw at people. It's a lot quicker than a spell.

>>31270780Sure, why not? It'll force the fire mage to divert his attention too.
>>31270780Whoops, I mean target the fleeing guards that have momentum, obviously. So they slip and we can take care of 'em.
>>31270776>>31270691sounds like a plan
>>31270691Hit mage with a decay and then chase after guards?
>>31270800>>31270780Instead of targeting the ground they're running on, why not target the stairs instead?It's much harder to get up icy stairs than it is to slide to stairs on icy ground.
>>31270822Superb idea. Shade will have a much easier time then.
>>31270826why not save the mana and just blink over and stab them in the head like we did this guy?you guys over think things too much
>>31270841That also works too. I just like the mental image of a bunch of guards fumbling up icy stairs though.
You decide that the guards need to be taken care of.You blink into the stairwell and block the upward path with your body, expanding into a widening net of tentacles that warp your human image. One of the guards falls down and crawls backwards. Another screams. One pulls out his sword and stabs at you.>you've taken 0 damage"That stung."You grab the sword, then hurl it at the guard retreating into the corner on his hands and feet. It impales him through the stomach. You smack the soldier in front of you with a limb, taking his head clean off. Another limb strikes simultaneously at the screaming guard, ripping him in two from his shoulder down to his waist. He falls apart onto the floor. Blood and guts pool quickly underneath your enemies.It's been a while since you've done something like this. You forget how fragile normal humans are...You consume the corpses. On the way back toward Shade, you stab the guard still under the table and consume him as well.>HP: 81/81By the time you reach your construct, the fight is over. Shade's fist is now through the mage's stomach, though his hand is blackened and burned.<Shade, are you alright?><Damage is mostly superficial.> Shade's hand rotates on the axis of his wrist. His fingers click and whir. <Finger joint dexterity has dropped 72%. Self-repair will take two hours.>You quickly consume the mages corpse before the energy can leak away.>you've gained 1 EXP (9)>you've gained 3 mana (72/76The roar of the engine continues unabated in the background. You look at the whirling dynamo shielding, then back to Shade. <Can you make an sense of this?>Shade moves to the control panel. He examines the main control levers. <I understand the function of the engine. What would you like to do?>>ask Shade a question>have him shut down the engine
>>31270780> toolbelt> creating slick floors to killAll we need now is a grey jumpsuit.

>>31270858>>have him shut down the enginefollowed immediately by a pocket
>>31270858>ask Shade a question>have him shut down the engineHow much do you know exactly?We need a distraction, about 10 minutes. Any Ideas?Make any new friends when you were playing with Steward?<Mr Shade, Trim the sails, hoist the colors and bring me that horizions>
>>31270858Make it so:>>31270888
>>31270858>ask Shade a questionCan you force the guns to fire from here?
>>31270888No we're not
>>31270858Overload the dynamo
>>31270888I've assumed that we've been using our human form more sub-consciously then our regular blob form, showing how we're becoming more human over time.
>>31270910>You blink into the stairwell and block the upward path with your body, expanding into a widening net of tentacles that warp your human image.
>>31270903No we don't we need to pocket it and get the fuck out of here.Distractions bring Demon Lords and Demon Lords kill us.
I wish we could eat these dynamos, but I suppose our allies would rather have the airships.
>>31270918Well we never agreed to this and i want our fighting form to be our old blob one.
>>31270926did you forget Duke Velik asked us for a distraction?
>>31270940Same. I want to be GOD OF SHADOW: THE BLOB whenever we fight, because that's more fun to me. It's always been my headcanon at least.
>>31270911You are so stupid.
>>31270949Scores of people falling screaming through the air is quite the distraction, I'd imagine.
>>31270940I think it's a part of accepting our Humanity
>>31270949Pocketing the Airship will be enough of a distraction.They will flip when the Airship literally dissappears and they all plummet to their deaths.If we stick around and start doing shit we die.
>>31270969We could stick around and try consuming the dynamo of the Pointer Sward or something.
>>31270963We accepted it a long time ago, but we can still go full terror mode when we fight.Which is much better done in blob mode.
>>31270976We're gonna steal that one too after we drop this one off. give it an hour or so to clam down maybe and while they'll be on high alert we can still get it.Or we could go fro one of the patrolling ones.
>>31270969We need to capture the other airship.>>31270976Fuck no we're feeding it to the Nemesis.
Hey, if we're in human form through all of this... when we supersonic do we look like a shadowy superman arm outstretched and everything?
>>31270996We will, but we can't pocket more than one at a time so we have to make two trips.
>>31271011If only we have MP6 we pocket like six airships.
>>31271011think we should go to the ramming ship and swipe the dynamo so it doesnt fly away before we get back
<Can you force the guns to fire from here?><No,> Shade says. <I can increase their power by sacrificing shielding and other ship functions, but the bridge should have the weapon controls.><Alright. Shut the engine down.><Understood.> Shade presses a few buttons on the console, then flips three of the switches, one after another. The adamantium shielding whirling around the dynamo stops; it rises and folds into the ceiling. A panel on the wall slides open, containing another switch.-Power Converter Kill Switch-Shade hits it with his fist.The final section of the engine sinks into the floor, leaving the dynamo exposed on its pedestal. The lights in the engine room shut off with a sudden thump of mana. Green emergency lights blink on at the edge of the walls.A wailing emergency siren echoes through the ship. You hear a rising howl of wind.<Thanks Shade.> You Pocket him. With your feet still touching the floor, it's only a thought for you to Pocket the airship.>mana: 70/76And then, you're standing in midair, a dizzying height above the ground. The rest of the crew is in a similar state - most of them lying flat in long rows where they'd been sleeping in their bunks, now hanging in the sky. Another group is clustered up and away, probably where the bridge was. Others are scattered here and there.You all plummet like rocks. An angry green Wind surrounds you all in a sphere of death, and it's closing in fast.What do you do?>consume as much as possible>beat a hasty retreat>set course for the Painted Sword>some other strategy

You spread your wings, open your Maw, and dive into the falling clouds of people.The screams start almost immediately. Most of them were woken by the alarm when the power cut off. Few of them got out of their bunks in the few seconds before you pocketed the ship.You dive through the crowd of flailing men, eating them almost as fast as you can fly. You decide that better pickings are probably up on the bridge, and head there after a single pass through the easy snacks. You grab one last soldier as you go, flapping your wings as you feed him into your churning mouth.Magical blasts of fire, wind, and shields of Earth mana are being flung up and around the bridge cluster. You see demons flying - some of them don't have wings, but are doing their best to fight the skysever with balls of whatever mana they can muster. It's like trying to hold back a storm by blowing at it. The skysever leaps forward like a greedy child, devouring anything that dares stand against it.You sweep through the carnage, cleaning up the shreds of demons and mages alike. The skysever needles and slashes at you, but your skin is tougher than theirs.>you've taken 10 damage>you've healed 4 damage from Hydra>you've gained 7 HP from consumption (81/81)>you've gained 2 mana (76/76)>you've gained 5 EXP (14)The churning ball of limbs, magic, and furious Wind continues toward the ground.You feel a powerful presence positioning itself on the ground under you.

>>31271516find vellik, retreat
>>31271586It doesn't know about us yet, i think.
>>31271579
Guys, I really don't think we should go for Vellik just yet. At least give him a couple minutes during this chaos before trying to regroup with him.Maybe just supersonic around like an annoying fly?
But if we consume the demon lord, then think of all that xp...
>>31271611We don't have a couple of minutes, man. Any second now that demon lord is going figure out who we are and call in reinforcements to buttfuck us.
>>31271611No, he has his methods of getting his shit, he knows how to be quick.And if he's not done we pocket the rest and teleport out
>>31271620It's not just one demon lord, though. If start fighting it and it thinks it will lose then in come the other three to back up their bro.
>>31271611>>31271635>>31271580Note: you don't actually know where Vellik is, though your Wisp should be tailing him. You'd be retreating to the agreed extraction point near the Great Forest, across the river.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zM0zSXLOEAYou unleash an Army of Darkness.>mana: 71/76A field of dozens of monsters explode like fireworks from your body. Some of them are almost exact replicas of you; others are twisted versions, creatures of wings and tentacles and fangs without discernible form or function. A gust of shadow follows in their wake, and they create a noise that competes against the howl of the skysever.A handful of them take off for the Painted Sword, as if reading your intent. Others dive straight for the ground. A few of the mirages nip and bite at the heels of the falling men still alive. You make your escape from the storm of destruction as the illusions promote a chaos that's all their own.>you've taken 12 damage from the skysever>you've healed 5 damage with Hydra (HP: 74/81)As you leave the circle of destruction, some of the Wind follows you, needling and slashing at your backside, but you weather the attacks. Your illusions are hacked at by the Winds, but their shadowy substance merely swirls and reforms once more, carried on by the power of your spell.A beam of shadow erupts from the ground, concentrated mana poured fourth by the demon lord, strong enough to punch a hole in the skysever's enclosing wall. It slices through several of your illusions like a sword, forcing them to dissipate. The beam even takes out a soldier, cutting him neatly in half. You doubt the demon cares.The beams continue to hack and slash through your illusory army while you make a quiet escape. That should probably keep them distracted for a bit.One airship down!--------------------TO BE CONTINUEDNext thread probably Sunday night. If not, Monday night.see you next time

Including Chaos into our Order made us less of an autistic fuck. What if adding Order to people like Hecate will make her less of a domineering, capricious bitch that's bent on control and invasion of privacy?
So dynamos fuck up spells opposite of their nature huh? I wonder if we can use that against someone.
>>31272490Only if they roll badly.
>>31272312I'm behind the idea of force feeding the elemental lady of spirit our shadow infused spooge straight from our supreme order cock of eternal void justice.
>>31272538Point is to drag them down. But when I think over it, it would take some extreme circumstances to make it effective. Like unpocketing 4 shadow dynamos all at the same time around an angel would cripple him or something.
>>31272565Well, the reason I mention it is because....we actually know exactly what Hecate is like, believe it or not. We know the exact and precise extent of Spirit magic and what sort of personalities develop around excessive amounts of Spirit: The mages of Archon - and more specifically, Fang and Abby (more specifically Abby's Empress form).Basically take all of the political bullshit, the backstabbing, the spying and the totalitarianism of Archon, and crank it up to eleven, and presto, you have Hecate. Hecate is Spirit incarnate.The same applies to other nations too: the Light-born and the Angels are all embodying, in one way or another, Hyperion's personality traits more than likely. Sandalphon, in particular, would be the closest to being 'like Hyperion' in personality.David turned out the way he did because Erebus essentially tried to make a human more like him (I suspect it may have been an experiment on Erebus' part as to whether or not he could manipulate humans to be more Order-focused), and he snapped because of it.In other words, if we wanna have a fair estimate of the kind of people the Elemental Lords might actually be like? Look to the big players, the world leaders. It's entirely plausible that Logi may be more like our prince friend than we think, and Hecate is more like Fang/Empress Abby; a schemer who might have a soft spot for her own kind, but is ultimately a ruthless bitch out for her own end goal - and everything else can get thrown under a bus for it.
>>31273128Damn anon that's a good read. I'm gonna look back for a bit but I think you're on to something nice with all that.Archive analysis time...
>>31273128The real nice thing about your theory is that it works both from an inheritance of elemental energies perspective, and the perspective of the kind of cultures that formed around the elementals which these peoples have continued to maintain. Very good.
>>31273128It's worth noting that Geb had TWO factions corresponding to him, and they both hated each others' guts. Unless this is some sort of convoluted fault line metaphor, I guess.>We know the exact and precise extent of Spirit magic and what sort of personalities develop around excessive amounts of Spirit.If personality traits were caused by the exposure to that sort of magic itself, Melody should be the most Erebus-like, Hemmelus should be half-insane, and so on.It seems far more likely that those who rise to positions of power do so because they use the means at their disposal. If you're a spirit mage and you want to become more powerful, OF COURSE you use your magic (mind manipulation, summoned creatures as remote operatives, telepathy) to advance your cause. >>31273367>The real nice thing about your theory is that it works both from an inheritance of elemental energies perspective, and the perspective of the kind of cultures that formed around the elementals which these peoples have continued to maintain.This is actually the part that I hate about it; there's no attempt at all to distinguish between Nature and Nurture. Which is the cause and which is the effect.Did the Elemental Lords have their distinct personalities because those were naturally dominant aspects of their elements? Or do powerful people today have similarities to the Elemental Lords because those values have been ingrained in them by virtue of growing up within the long-lasting cultures forged by the Elemental Lords in their own image?This argument doesn't get us anywhere close to finding out which is actually the case. It's fun to theorize about, sure, but it's totally circular.

It's fun to theorize about, sure, but it's totally circular...Why not both? Humans, essentially, would have more freedom over their actions, being humans, while Elemental Lords act according to their element.But being Elemental Lords, they fostered and encouraged humans to 'act like your element'.
>>31273516Did anyone consider that it may not be easy for the elemental lords to get over a war that killed nearly all of their people?And then Erebus wakes them up and says "Well you should totally help those angels who genocided your followers and later enslaved them by putting their souls in little jars"TL;DR Give her some time
>>31274265'Cept Adavan outright told us how Hecate ran shit.
