"Hello? Are you ready for my presents?" Hm? Oh! You were lost in thought. It's been a long morning and your head really hurts still. "Shax?"

"Yeah, yeah, sorry. Whaddaya got for me Ms. Goddess? You got a name?" It's rude to not introduce yourself. Auntie taught you that.

"Oh! Right. I'm Estollieax." You hear Allonces gasp. Some weird looking dark elf sneaks up near her and whispers in her ear. "Goddess of Craft."

That's pretty broad. "What kinda crafts?"

"Just all of them." That is pretty unfair to other crafting gods, but you aren't one so no big deal.

"Well, how are you doing Esti? I'm doing okay. But where is my stuff?" Gotta keep her focused. This goddess seems kinda airheaded. Freedom can do that, you guess?

"Ah! I forgot. Right. Anyway. I can give you a divine enchantment of your choice. What would you like?"

You've got divine powers to, so you aren't too impressed.

>She can make it so that your boots never leave footprints and also never smell.

It might be some sort of anime cliche, like the protagonists seat, second to last seat on the far left of the classroom next to the window so he can broodingly look out of it.

"Well, jeez. Who knows how many men died to take this fort." You kick your feet, arms behind your back, "And then I had to figure out the arcane secret to free your from the prison. Most people didn't even know you were in there, you know? And all you can offer me is blister free hands? Jeez."

The goddess looks distressed. As distressed as a vaguely woman shaped blob of energy can look. "What? I thought those were pretty nice and convenient blessings..."

You look at your feet and sniff once, "I dunno it isn't really your fault, you know? It is probably my fault. Yeah. I'm to blame for thinking doing this quest of liberation would get me something really cool. Why am I so stupid."

Waving spectral arms, Estollieax interjects, "No! I probably should have tried harder to make blessings. I'm sorry!" This is working!

"Maybe I should just give up? I'll never figure out how to be a god this way. I mean, all these elf gods are so snooty. And even the ones they imprison don't know anything useful..." This oughta do it.

"It's not that hard! I'm sure you can do it!"

"Oh? You know how?" There is a fishing expression for this, but you've only ever fished by wading into the water and trying to grab small fish so you don't know it.

"Y-yeah. It's a bit of a secret. And you gotta get lucky. Usually other gods get mad if you reveal it, but it isn't that huge of a deal since it isn't like I've been around in a while."

She then goes into detail. You need shards of divinity. An orb like her prison is comprised of some. It is material that is incredibly difficult to make, and the knowledge of how to do so has been lost to time. Fortunately, you just freed a goddess of crafting up. She can hang out in your fortress till you get the rest of the orbs shattered, and she'll help you make a Gem of Divinity. After doing that, you gotta get enough astral pearls together to launch a Ritual of Ascension.

Unless the portals are undoable, we probably shouldn't just plop one down here in the middle of elf land.

Hmmm. Alright. Might as well, since you're in the neighborhood. The underworld army should reach this fortress pretty soon, once they've heard you've taken over it. Granted, you didn't get the Forest Heart for them, since it kinda shattered, but they don't need to know that. Won't be too huge of a problem to summon up an entrance to your base. You toss a pearl down, and a cave pops up. No one seems terribly surprised, though you're pretty sure most people don't know you can do this. Jeez, you only have three pearls left? What the heck did you spend them on? You know you see some crystal turtles stomping around, but still...

Well. That's not important. You escort the goddess to your base, and get her to remind you about what all you gotta do.

When you get back Allonces practically drags you off to the side. "Shax! That was super bad! The Forest Heart is a powerful arcane artifact, and it coulda been used for all kindsa things!"

"Yeah, well, I'm gonna use it to make me super powerful."

"What's worse is that Estollieax is one of the three prime demons of Elven myth! Estollieax is the enchainer, one who forges all shackles. I don't trust her!"

You wave a hand, "Course you'd make a person you'd trapped in an orb a demon in myth. That way if they ever got out, no one in the country would help 'em. It's just a lie, Allonces. Jeez, don't worry so much."

"But... but!" She sputters a bit before quieting down. The weird looking dark elf next to her scratches the back of his head.

"Um. Shax, was it?" Wasn't this guy the idiot you were arguing with last night? "If you were to break the Forest Mind and Soul, it'd be super bad. Please don't do that."

You put hands on your hips. "What's a drow know about things like that? I'mma break them anyway."

"I'm an expert in this area. Please don't do it. Besides, the Elven capital is on the Forest Soul. You'd need a full fledged army to take it."

That makes a surprising amount of sense.


I'd say we don't need to overdo it. Back down for now, and try to do something stealthy later on. Maybe we could ask Seamom for some help in exchange for the soul of the forest.

>>32803562
>Nope. Breaking them all.

Of course he doesn't want us to free the gods they have been subjugating for who knows how long.

>>32803685
I agree with this sentiment. No need to rush. We will get them all sooner or later.

>>32803562
>Nope. Breaking them all.

On one hand, it's elven capital.

On the other hand, Allonces is wrong about everything and her weird dark elf friend said you couldn't take this fort either.

>>32803562
>Nope. Breaking them all
Kid, you haven't been here long enough, so I can excuse you for not knowing, but Shax don't back down from nothing. NOTHING.

>>32803562

Well thanks a lot. Now we pretty much have to break all of them.

Alright, so you are going to break them.

Wait, regroup, set up some defenses, gather information on the other targets. Also, loot the hell out of the city, steal everything that isn't nailed down, then steal the nails and whatever they nailed down.

Don't rush this.

Also, interrogate that weird drow about the other elven defenses, he knew an awful lot about these defenses. If he says it's impossible point out that he said the exact same thing about this place.

>>32803827
lets relax, we have like a superbad headache

You put a finger on your chin. As much as you'd like to run off and start looting the countryside, you really oughta get everything in order first. You glance around and call your officers together. Apparently last night you suddenly stormed off towards the fortress by yourself, and the rest of the army scrambled after you. By the time they caught up, you'd busted down one of the fortress's walls, and had eight giant crystal turtles causing havoc in the area. When the elves summoned a giant tree spirit monster, you blew its head off with a massive spear, and then cut through the pieces that fell down and formed smaller versions of the beast.

No wonder you have a headache.

The army managed to mop up the thoroughly confused and battered elven remnants, and have been looting all night. You order the troops to help shore up the defenses you smashed to smithereens and get your army and affairs back in order.

Before too long, an officer shows up from the underground alliance.

"Hello, Raid Leader. And Chieftess, now, is it?" It's a slightly standoffish drow woman in scandalous leather armor with two whips at her hip. For some reason a lecture from Auntie about 'reinforcing stereortypes' pops up in your mind.

"We're here to collect the Forest Heart, but I hear it got broken? I suppose it can't be helped, but it would have been a great boon to the war effort to gather it." She seems pretty disapproving! You don't think you'll get an A on your raiding report card for this. "No matter. Your next assignment is concerning the rest of the Valenwood theatre. You're ordered to leave it as soon as possible and return to the Manderlin plains. We'll be starting a genuine invasion there soon. Integrate yourself into that army if possible." She tips her head at you and leaves almost as quickly as she arrives. She left written orders with an official seal as proof.

Always getting ordered around! No reinforcements either. What's the plan?

>Try to hit up the Forest Mind real fast. It is apparently off in a temple somewhere to the south.
>Duck back to the goblin caves. Get reinforcements or maybe assemble a larger army. Try to siege the Forest Soul. They can't be too mad if you disobey orders and then win the region, right?

You know, we COULD leave the forest mind up to Allonces and try to take the capital.

If we use Laser Siege-Turtles, get Seamom to help us out, and strike from multiple fronts, we ought to find an opening soon enough.

>>32804858
We're kind of low on pearls, though.

You'll just do some light raiding. Nothing too spectacular. They can't really complain if you hit up a place on your way out, right? Even if it is kind of out of the way? Surely not! No one could complain about that! It's settled! YOu'll just make that weird dark elf tell you where the forest mind is and then smash that temple up.

You look around camp for the guy, but don't find him. What the heck? You get Bearbreath to peak around as well, but he can't find him either. Who introduced you to this guy? Allonces?

"Hey, Allonces. Where the heck is that guy who kept telling me what to do last night?" Allonces splits into an ear splitting grin for some reason, "I need him to tell me where the Forest's Dumb Brain is so I can smash it up and free another ghost god that your people enslaved for some dumb reason and collect his dumb jewel prison."

She goes back to her normal expression, and hops over to you like a little ball of pure happiness. "He's gone for now. Do you want to meet him?! Do you miss him? It's okay we can have girl talk together. Let me call him back over."

You put a hand on her shoulder, "Calm down. You're creeping me out. Why don't you just tell me where the dumb temple is?"

"Ehhh, I think the other guy could give better directions." She takes a look at your face then sighs. "Fine, you can get to it this way..."

Well these instructions are simple enough. You should still have free reign of the forest, too. According to Allonces, this place is guarded mostly by Moon Mages, whatever those are, and several devout priest warriors.

How do you wanna take it on?

yeah, good luck beating up an ancient demon in possession of three demon-prison's worth of god catalyst. If we're lucking we much be able to play the three demons off against each other and trap them again, but otherwise I think we're fucked even WITH our light powers.

OP, since we missed the actual fight to take over the fortress, maybe you could do a small side-story sometime with the POV of one of the defending elves, maybe the commander of the garrison or somesuch?

>>32805115
It's too bad that dark elf guy disappeared. We could have snuck our way in way easier if we'd just painted him up like a normal elf and bluffed our way in saying he's with the rangers or something. He said he's an expert on the region so it probably would have worked too.

>>32805115
Face it Allonces, playing matchmaker for Shax is a lost cause.

Just trick her into marring you, yourself. Probably easier to do than hooking Shax up wit the Onii-chan.

We could just not give her the divinity shards until we're ready to ascend and even look into a way to make the thing without her.

If she's really evil than some of her info, like only her being able to make it, should not be trusted.

You march double time through the forest, trying to avoid ire from the highers up by just getting this over with quickly. This is a little side project. No need to endanger all your goblins by drawing the ire of the dark elves. Before terribly long, the raid is pretty close to the temple. Your scouts say most of the attention is elsewhere in the forest, so you're not too worried about walking into a trap.

Mages have a nasty habit of causing lots of collateral damage, so you decide to take in a team of experts. You, Sitri, Bearbreath, Brokagh, Whoop, Mani, and Dorle. You camp out with them near the entrance to the temple. And send Brokagh out to scout the place out.

Before too long, he shows back up. "Hey, boss. Place is crawling with temple guards. They don't look like they know we're here, but they definitely are a bit spooked. Musta been the fact a goblin raid hit them in the heart of their territory out of nowhere and blew up one of their most important fortresses on a whim of that raid's commander. If I had to guess."

You cross your arms. "If you had to guess." Brokagh grins at you.

Still. High alert. Tons of mages and divine warriors. This seems like trouble. What's the plan boss?

>Brokagh and Bear go ahead, take out who they can. You, Whoop, and the brothers blow up the tough stuff.
>Smash up front! We'll just move quick and kill to the middle of the fort. Grab an important person, make 'em tell you where the Mind is. Smash it. Get out.

>>32805951
>Shax and like one or two more sneak in to get the thingy. Taking it will surely raise the alarm but then they'll be facing inwards, so everyone outside will rush in to sandwich them in.

I want to agree, but on the other hand canceling the 1 will just leave us with a 7, which is still pretty crappy.

...Probably better than critfailing, though. Let's do it.

>>32806285

I'd rather not for the same reasons you pointed out

Have we EVER used a point to boost an already solidly mediocre roll? Negating critfails is what they're for.

I don't think you understand the magnitude of this situation, anon. We CRITICALLY FAILED a roll to invade a MOST HOLY TEMPLE FULL OF FUCKING MOON MAGI!

>>32806341
While I agree a 7's bad, a nat 1 with just a few specialists... someone might go down, and most of the people with us are pretty useful party members.

>>32806370
What if we spent two? Negated critfail, and then boosted the 7? Can we do that?

>>32806405
I agree with you, but this is just another chance to roll the reincarnation table. Nothing too major. Bearbreath has ingredients now.

>>32806438
That's assuming we manage to retrieve the body.

There's a lot of room for shit to go seriously FUBAR here.

If we can, that sounds like a great idea.

>>32806423

You can do both. If you wanna spend both points.

Bah, they are just elves. It's like beating up a temple full of Allonces! What could possibly go wrong?

Okay yeah I guess we can use one point.

>>32806285
Yeah, let's

If we had someone dedicated enough to keep track of what troops we have we could probably have earned antoher point here.

So did you want to spend one point, two points or none? I don't really see a clear consensus.

Two! Divinity here we come!

>you spend Two I'm the Boss! Points! The roll you got was a 12 after various divine interferences get done messing around with fate.

You go through the plan real fast. There aren't a huge amount of guards, so you and Brokagh will sneak to the Forest Mind. After smashing it, the temple will be coming after you. The guys outside will burst through from behind and lead you on out.

It's not an awful plan, really, and should go quickly. You don't want to spend all day going after this forest heart, after all! Before too long Brokagh and you have infiltrated pretty far into the temple, Brokagh taking out the occassional person with a quick attack on the neck or a few brutal bonebreaking combos.

After getting to the heart of the temple, you look around a bit. There aren't many priests, and between you and Brokagh you make pretty short work of them. There is a familiar green orb in the middle. No point in breaking it yet. You grab the thing, and magical alarms, predictably, ring out. "Hey, boss. This room is pretty easy to defend. Let's just hole up here for the initial rush."

Not the worst idea. The first wave is usually weak, but the second can be a problem. "Alright. Our boys oughta be busting in behind them pretty soon, right?" ...Several waves of guards later, you're a bit out of breath. Brokagh is covered in wounds, but that isn't unusual, and you haven't heard any of Dorle or Mani's trademark explosions yet. "What the heck are they up to?!" It comes out as a bit of whine, but Brokagh nods in sentiment. They are being late as heck!

Before too long, you hear the explosions go off. There they are! Now to wait for them to get here.

That's it for tonight! I was very very distracted. I apologize. Father's day stuff.

I'll run soon this week! I promise! My job is done flip flopping around I hope so I can finally get a real schedule going.

Akun quest was delayed a bit, but it should be starting up soon, as well.

I'm cooking up a secret ultimate project with another QM as well.

You can follow me on twitter to get announcements of when I'm running whatever.
