You and Rainya head out into the open air, making sure all of your clothes are in the right places. You where hoping to spend a little while *catching up* but apparently your quarry has arrived, and she is bringing the gigantic War Follower that you use to destroy her army with earlier, with her.

You see Dev getting into his armour, Kaelyn limbering up for a fight, and Lirael sat on her rock with vines wrapped around her, you assume she and Randolph are monitoring things together.

You also see the three other Rainyas checking their armour, and summoning bows of shimmering energy, getting ready for the fight ahead, wait, other three? You say to the Rainya behind you, as you work on your plan “I thought you could make five of you in total?”

Rainya gives you a strange look “I can” she says “one of me is back at the Waystation, remember?”

“Oh right, yes” you say “sorry, I’ve been distracted.”

Rainya shrugs “you’ve had a lot to think about.”

As you survey your troops you ask Rainya “So is everything alright back at the Waystation? I mean, surely they must have noticed we’ve been missing for a month?”

“Oh no” says Rainya “it’s only been three days there.”

Wait, what?

“What?” you say, turning to give her an incredulous look.
>>
“The time lag is horrible” Rainya confides in you “trying to think at two speeds is weird, but ah yeah, it’s the evening of the third day after we left there.”

“Oh” you say faintly “Well I guess that’s chaoswells and magical forests for you.”

“Devs boss visited though” says Rainya “and shouted a lot at Ms Carter – I think Dev might not have a job when he gets back.”

“Hopefully we can fix that” you say as you gather your allies around you, Randolph says in your head -the War Follower is coming mother and its bringing an army, do you want me to tear it up?-

At the same time, Dev lumbers over in his power armour “What’s the plan Shee?” he asks. Kaelyn, Lirael and the Rainyas likewise look to you for guidance.

What is the plan?

>We all head towards it, I’ll figure it out once we get there
>You wait here, I’ll scout ahead
>You all keep the army busy, I’ll deal with the War Follower
>Guerrilla warfare, lets use Randolph to our advantage and harass them
>Other Plan (what?)

[Meta]

Questions from last thread
>So how would we level FotKoH In order to get the proper Split between Hesan and Skelogan when we get Corruption 5?

Form of the King of Hell has levels that improve all forms. The *proper* split between the two is a matter of opinion I expect.

>What is the deal with avatars in this regard? [Supposed to be your own God]

Each of the Five wants a winner that agrees with them 90% of the time, they haven’t quite grasped that such Avatars don’t get very far for some reason.

>Would Titanic + FotKoH be like some kind of Oni thing?

Depends on which Form you mixed Titanic with

>Dimensional Arsenal Armour porting

Seems to be a little of confusion regarding this. Here’s how it works: the user of Dimensional Arsenal touches an item and puts it in their Dimensional Arsenal. When they pull it out again it is in the same location, relative to the user of Dimensional Arsenal. So Shee can teleport her own armour of and on her own body without having to climb into or out of it physically but Rainyas armour appears in Shees hands when taken out, so Rainya has to put it on manually. If Rainya had Dimensional Arsenal, she would be able to teleport her own armour off and on.

Try to split them apart, and slow them down. Dev is likely stuck to just melee now however. Need to make a stand if they push towards the well. Maybe randolf can work with lirael to use our grenades best. We should have lots.

>>38445376
Shapeshfiting to blend in and not be blatant demon I imagine.
>>
>>38445560
We would only use the fom for fighting and such anyway, and in worst case we could just use the improved Illusion of the Vasis to disguise ourselves.

Looking human isn't a big perk in any situation where we need to throw around heavy duty psy powers anyway.
>>
>>38445543
Allies can learn it
>>
>>38445560
>Shapeshfiting to blend in and not be blatant demon I imagine.
The thing is that we can already kinda do that and being a blatant demon isn't a huge disadvantage to what would be a form that's usually brought out for combat or other situations where disguises are usually irrelevant.

Hesan's shifting is better than what we could do currently by a fair margin, but it's not worth sacrificing useful abilities that we could get from any of the other three forms and it has nothing much to offer other than that.
>>
>>38445591
It'd also give us access to tentacles, which would give more DR and more melee attacks. as well as a way to replenish vitae on the fly.
>>
>>38445633
>It'd also give us access to tentacles
You mean like those things the Vasis form naturally has?

In fact, it probably has more tentacles than we do naturally.
>>
>>38445633
>which would give more DR
It gives MD and RD not DR.
And we don't want to use tentacles if we use a psy form. We just leave the psy form then.
Also Vasis has natural tentacles.
>>
“You keep the army busy” you say to everyone “hold them back, slow them down, I’m going to deal with the War Follower.” Kaelyn, Dev and the Rainyas nod and head out towards the edge of Randolphs area. You mesh your thoughts with Lirael and whilst in your gestalt, head to the psiwell.

At the base of the large tree you sit down and immerse yourself in the power there. With your mind joined to Liraels, and in constant communication with Randolph you can see through his *eyes* as the beastmen army approaches.

You see a horde of the monstrous humanoids, a mixture of human and animal. Around the edges you can see smaller groups of small green-skinned humanoids – the goblins you think. Here and there, towering over the other beastmen, six metres in height you see massive muscular beastmen with four arms, two with normal hands, two tipped with blades of bone.

And towering above even them, comes the War Follower. On its back is a crude wooden construction, filled with beastmen and also, a human woman with eight mechanical limbs, Jane Vindel.

The beastmen head into the forest and are attacked by the trees and the plants: lashing bone-tipped tentacles, mouths on the ends of vines, and bursts of green fire assail them as they press grimly onwards. Before they’re penetrated too deep you see arrows of light leap from behind trees, exploding when they hit their targets, as the Rainyas start picking them off. The foremost beastmen rush the nearest one only to meet Dev and Kaelyn coming the other way, Dev swinging his sword in wide strokes as Kaelyns hand and feet take a heavy toll on the attacking beastmen.

As the beastmen start to bunch up and try to overwhelm them, the Rainyas fire shot after shot into their mass. Still, Kaelyn and Dev eventually have to fall back, lest they be overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Above this all the War Follower plods slowly onwards.
>>
not going to lie, Really happy it's only been 3 days and not a month. That was kinda pissing me off.
>>
When it is over Randolphs trees its long tentacles reach down and start uprooting trees indiscriminately, instead of just the dead ones. Its limbs also trail across the beastmen but don’t snatch any of them up. You can feel strong chaos magic surrounding the War Follower.

Randolph yells in your mind, a wordless cry more of outrage than pain.

You are far back from the fighting, at the Psiwell, what do you do?

>Target the War Follower (what power?)
>Target Jane Vindel (what power?)
>Target the beastmen (what power?)
>Other (what?)

Thanks to your link to Randolph you can see the battlefield well enough to use psychic powers there.

If we dump 80 of Randolphs daily PE into it, our 30vitae and some 40 or so of Liraels vitae, we should be able to beat whatever mental protections she has put on it.

Luckily vitae is easily gained with the source of bloodfruit, and our PE pool has gotten even larger.

-Kae- you send into her mind –get ready to dispel whatever protections it has!- You see Kae nod as she straightens, then kicks another beastman in the chest.

“Buy me some time!” she yells to Dev and Rainya as she drops back and starts casting her spell.

You see her swiftly craft a delicate symbol of light and throw it at the War Follower, where it explodes into a multicoloured display of magic. You’re not sure what that did but you hope it helped.

As Kaelyn steps up to fight by Devs side again you use your psychic abilities, driving a mental command into the War Followers brain.

You focus on how its a part of the forest, and how it sees Randolph as an invader, an intruder. You try to flip its perceptions around, getting it to see Randolph as the true forest, and the old forest as the invasive growth.

[Psiwell 30/80, Shee Vitae 5/30, Lirael Vitae 130/160]

The War Followers mind is animalistic, not quite as intelligent as a person, and you could seize control easily...if there wasn’t already someone in here directing it.

You can feel a powerful and malign presence forcing the War Follower to act against its natural instincts and ignore the beastmen and uproot living trees.

Your command stops the War Follower in its tracks and it quickly snatches up dozens of beastmen and begins feeding. You haven’t managed to truly control it, but your attempt at control has countered the existing hold on its mind, Jane Vindels you assume. Free of influence the War Follower returns to its natural habits.

Inside the War Followers Mind you can feel the other presence attempt to regain control, but you stymie them for now, the two of you battling over the mind of the War Follower.

You keep battling for control of the War Follower, using it you can win this whole battle! You are dimly aware of your allies continuing to battle the beastmen, and of some of them starting to take hits from the beastmens crude clubs and axes, nothing serious yet, but the numbers are starting to tell. The Rainyas are now fighting in close quarters, laying about them with blades of shimmering light.

With Liraels help you seize control of the War Followers mind and expel the other influence trying to drive it forwards.

[Lirael Vitae 84/160]

Under your direction its tentacles tear into the beastmen underneath it and reach up to pluck the beastmen off its back. When a tentacle brushes Jane she disappears, only to reappear near your allies, Dev is closest to her. Before you can react she blasts Dev with a bolt of magical energy, hurling him backwards.

[Dev HP 0/32]

Although you fear the worst Randolph can still feel Devs prone body moving slightly on the moss as he breathes, unconscious.

Jane gathers her powers to hit Dev again, only for Kaelyn to charge at her.

Together the Rainyas and the War Follower are rapidly thinning the ranks of the remaining beastmen.

You pour healing energies into Dev, repairing the flesh that has been charred by Jane’s energy blast.

At the same time you spare some attention for Jane, creating a field of roiling psychic energy around her, to inhibit her powers.

[PE 44/59, Psiwell PE 13/90, Lirael Vitae 54/160]

Finally, the part of you that is Corruption, the desire to bend the world to your will wraps around the War Follower and Randolph, linking them together.

-Mother...- says Randolph -what are you do...oh!- To you its a simple effort to incorporate the War Followers simple mind into Randolph, making it a part of him just as the plants are. With that done you relinquish your hold over its mind and Randolph takes over, directing it to rip into the beastmen with abandon.

-This is fun!- exults Randolph

Dev climbs to his feet, fully healed, as the Rainyas surround and protect him, cutting down any beastmen that get too close.

Kaelyn leaps at Jane, only for the spider-legged lady to cast a burning yellow skull at Kaelyn “I call this *Death by Agony*!” she yells at Kaelyn.

Kaelyn is briefly surrounded by the image of a dragon, superimposed upon her own. The skull shatters into fragments when it hits the dragons scales.

[CE 307/322, HP 103/113]

“Is that all you have?” Kaelyn says contemptuously as she punches Jane Vindel in the face, knocking her reeling. Jane Vindel stumbles back and would have fallen were it not for her many legs.

“No” gasps Jane, her face a bloody ruin, bone sticking through her check where Kaelyn hit her “I have so much more to show you.”

As Jane prepares to cast another spell, Kaelyn swings a kick at her. Before the kick even lands you lash out with your power and Jane simply drops to the ground, dead, Kaelyns kick sweeping through empty air where her head used to be.

[PE 57/57]

“Oh bugger this!” curses Kaelyn as she overbalances, just catching herself before she falls over.

Meanwhile the beastmen fall apart under the combined assault of the Rainyas and the War Follower, only a few manage to escape back into the old forest.

The battle is over.

“Is everyone ok?” asks Kaelyn, looking around.

“Yeah” says Dev “that hurt like hell but I’m ok-”

An explosion of magical energy interrupts him, coming from the body of Jane Vindel, or from her duplicates body at any rate you think. Fortunately only Kaelyn is close enough to be affected by it and the image of the dragon reappears briefly, shielding her from harm. Dev and the Rainyas are too far away to be affected.

[CE 282/322, HP 93/113]

The trees and plants around her simply crumble to dust however, leaving her in a small dead space a few metres across, devoid of life.

-Yeowch!- complains Randolph –What was that?-

-Some sort of spell- you tell him.

-It hurt!- he complains –Mother everything just died!-

-It’s alright- you reassure him –It’ll grow back-

-I’m going to stop her from doing that again- he grumbles, and you sea the War Follower start to turn

-Not yet- you tell him gently –We need a plan first-

-Msfsrgh hmmp!- responds Randolph

With your link to Randolph you can tell there are no more enemies on the battlefield and you call you allies back to base, but you are still unsure of where Jane Vindel *is*.
>>
>>38448276
Yeah, that could be a real bitch, but lets hope she is more focused on Kae, as bad as that sounds
>>
You expect her to be hiding somewhere in the old forest, but where? Perhaps a planning session with your allies is in order.

Actions?

How much we gained.

4 is our minimum gain, and we already had 4.

So, now we got exactly 10 FBB XP.

>>38448599

Had 4, 6 puts us to 10. Durability is 4 each now.

Gain. We can get 2 durability for fater regen, so we can feed randolf, or increase fbb by 2 ranks and get more per fight.

Get dura 10 then.

>>
>>38448650
I'm not in favour of that.
Getting 5HP/hour isn't a huge improvement, unless we plan to stay here and wait for some time.

Any particular reason that the Gift Durability has weaker regeneration than Champion Durability with no other differences?

I regret nothing.

>>38448650
It'd be Durability 9.
>>
>>38448749
>and gives us a larger hp pool
The gain from Durability in HP pool is so tiny its basically irrelevant.
The HPregen rate is the only relevant part of it, and I rather feed Randolph PE directly and save the XP.
If we plan to wait anyway, then the time cost of feeding him PE doesn't matter, and getting Durability only makes sense IF we plan to stay longer.
So either way Dura doesn't seem worth it to me.

Its both 1HP/hour on rank 9.

We can get PE faster with Life Drain, while we can't heal that diminished health on the spot.
We need more HP than PE too in a fight.

>>38448814
>Any particular reason that the Gift Durability has weaker regeneration than Champion Durability with no other differences?

The regen rate should be the same, if I've messed it up, please point out where, and I'll correct it
>>
>>38448845
Lower ranks are the same, but it's weaker at high ranks. 1/round vs 1/minute at R19.

>>38448819
Durability gives bonuses to STR, CON, DR and a decent HP bonus in addition to it's regen. These are not irrelevant factors.
>>
>>38448913
yeah... no
I am all in on corrupting a Jane though.
>>
>>38448915
>Durability gives bonuses to STR, CON, DR and a decent HP bonus in addition to it's regen
We barely need CON for anything and a STR bonus of +1, DR+2 and HP +5 is not worth 8XP.
>>
>>38448819

Well it is forged by battle xp pool. Combat skills and jaggy gifts.

I would be for raising fbb also, get 6 xp a fight then, more if it is harder. We have 1 or 2 left here.

>>38448956
It's 8xp that can hardly be spent on anything else. What would you rather spend FBBxp on?

We could also buy Might to make ourselves more combat capable and unlock higher level Jaggi gifts, or get Artifice to fuck up her spider legs.

He said A Jane, meaning one of her Duplicates.

>>38448977
Jaggi and combat gifts are not "hardly anything else". Thats a pretty big pool of things.
Most importantly improving Might or Titanic Form, which would also reduce the cost of Invulnerable Hide.
>>
>>38449003

I am all for pushing fbb to 8, so we can get 1 or 2 ranks of stuff a fight.
>>
>>38448998
>Nope she dies, we made an oath.
I meant a Jane clone, making it ours
I agree Jane is going down.
If we could mount her head on a spike, striking terror into the hearts of those that even dare thinking to hurt our family, it should be done
>>
>>38449044
>which would also reduce the cost of Invulnerable Hide.
While in Titanic Form.

Might has even less of an argument for getting it than Durability.
>>
>>38449073
Thats another option, right.
>>
>>38449082
>Might has even less of an argument for getting it than Durability.
Unlocking higher level Jaggi gifts is a pretty compelling argument to me. Especially since we are closing in on 10 with him.
>>
>>38449082

Better jaggy gifts need 3 to 5 ranks in it.

It is blocking us from unlocking more.
>>
>>38449111
>>38449116
Eh. I don't see much point to it. We'd get a few more potential gifts, probably just physical offense oriented things, with no guarantee they'd be worthwhile or even show up at all, and the power itself is basically a worse version of Durability.
>>
You head back to the main camp, maintaining your mental link to Randolph but letting the gestalt dissolve.

You and Lirael welcome the conquering heroes home “Well done everyone” you say “I know that was difficult but you all fought like heroes out there, I am proud of you all.”

Dev gives a tired nod, the Rainyas seem embarrassed and Kaelyn says “Killstealer” but she is smiling at least.

Everyone sits down and you and Lirael hand out drinks.

“Rainya” you say “We need to be as private as we can, is there anything you can...”

Yeah” says Rainya, and they start to multiply, until there are twenty Rainyas present “but. Its. Really. Hard. To .think. like this.” Say the Rainyas, each word coming from a different mouth.

“Uh, wow...” you say, momentarily stunned by how far Rainyas powers have come. You have to work hard to focus on the current situation and not imagine the private islet in your realm occupied by dozens of happy giggling Rainyas wearing just flowers in their hair...

“Anyway” you say, back to the matter at hand you think regretfully “we’ve taken away a big asset of hers” you nod to the placid War Follower in the distance “but Vindel is still out there, we need to find her, and fast – I was thinking of trying to pull her location from the mind of the old forest, but it would burn a lot of my reserves, given how strong its mind is, and if it warns her, she might relocate, or attack, thoughts?”

“This is magic stuff” says Dev, holding his hands up helplessly “I don’t really know enough to help.”

“Thinking. Is. hard” says the Rainyas.

“We can help you beat the forest” says Lirael loyally, “me and Randolph can do it with you Shee.”

-And I can try to push at the forest- says Randolph, -the more I push him back, the weaker he gets.-

“Thanks” you say to both of them “but we might be better waiting until the psiwell has recovered some.”
>>
“There is another option” says Kaelyn hesitantly “I’ve been thinking about this for a while but...”

“Go on” you say encouragingly.

Kaelyn continues “I think” she says “that the old forest has a focul point for its own *Heart* - its own chaoswell, I felt the energies of a chaoswell but it was spread across the whole forest, I think it feeds off the chaoswell, the same way *Randolph* is fed by the Psiwell. If we find it I could try to weaken it or destroy it or even” She pauses, before continuing “Or even with the help of a psychic, drain its power into the psiwell, weakening the old forest *and* strengthening Randolph at the same time, but it would be risky.”

You recall the last time Kaelyn drained a chaoswell, and what happened. Still it is an option.

“Does that mean Vindel will be at the chaoswell though?” says Dev

Kaelyn shakes her head “too obvious” she says “she will probably have a duplicate there, to enable her to draw on its power but as a base, it would be too obvious for her to be there I think.”

“And can you locate it?” you ask Kaelyn

“I think so” she says, nodding slowly “it might take hours, or days, but yes, I think I can.”

What is the plan?

>Wait until you have enough power, rip Vindels location from the old forest
>Randolph tries to grow faster, taking more territory from the old forest
>Have Kaelyn find the chaoswell
>Other (what?)
>>
>>38449326
>probably just physical offense oriented things

More than just that
>>
>>38449326
>and the power itself is basically a worse version of Durability
Now you are just being silly. It heavily buffs our main mode of attack, which is maximum tentacles.
Its perfectly worth it on its own.

>>38449368
>Wait until you have enough power, rip Vindels location from the old forest
>Randolph tries to grow faster, taking more territory from the old forest
Dumping all that power into the still too small Ranolph seems unsafe to me.
>>
>>38449368
>>Have Kaelyn find the chaoswell

>>38449326
More tech stuff and anti-magic as well.
>>
>>38449368
>Wait until you have enough power, rip Vindels location from the old forest
>Randolph tries to grow faster, taking more territory from the old forest
>>
>>38449368
>Wait until you have enough power, rip Vindels location from the old forest
We should redirect the chaoswell power after we dealt with Vindel.
>>
>>38449368
>Have Kaelyn find the chaoswell
This time, maybe we can do it together

>Randolph tries to grow faster, taking more territory from the old forest
You don't feel bad for taking over dad, do you Randolph?
>>
>>38449368
>>Randolph tries to grow faster, taking more territory from the old forest
>>Have Kaelyn find the chaoswell

Both.

We have randolf push, which reduces on the area to search and is a distraction.

We also feed Randolf some more here and there too.

I vote for spending the fbb xp on durability or more fbb. Maybe we get morw to push artifice later, if we raise fbb enough after 3 might.
>>
>>38449368
>Wait until you have enough power, rip Vindels location from the old forest
>Randolph tries to grow faster, taking more territory from the old forest

I don't really want to see a repeat of our last chaoswell draining.
>>
>>38449542
Well siphon the energy from Old forest to Randolph, Last time we didn't have a forest ready to eat the excess energy for us.
>>
>>38449572
>You recall the last time Kaelyn drained a chaoswell, and what happened.
Considering Shee draws a direct comparison, I really don't want to risk it.
And there is no guarantee that Randolphs psiwell is more capable of handling that huge surge of chaos energy better than Kaelyn did.
>>
>>38449599
Safer to split between him kae and us than her tackling it all herself.

A fae, a demigoddess, and a genius Loci should be able to handle it. Besides her dad can't hunt us anymore.
>>
>>38449572
Thats one option, but its also said to be risky.
By KAE. Kae finds it risky.
Seriously, no.
>>
>>38449368
>Wait until you have enough power, rip Vindels location from the old forest
>Randolph tries to grow faster, taking more territory from the old forest
>>
>>38449656
It wouldn't be a split between us thouzgh.
It would go from one into the other, so it would go first into Kae, then us and then Randolph.
Everyone gets still the full load.
>>
>>38449657
Thats why we do it and not her, she can be there for us when it fucks up this time

There is no point. If we are willing to wait so long, we might as well feed him PE directly.

You can write in other powers if you want those instead and saving it is kind of stupid and pointless.

Well faster xp means we can also buy artifice and might easier.

Artifice has nice atuff with our realm later.
>>
>>38449815
>Seriously, why the fuck are people voting as a flat no?
Because I don't want to spend these XP on anything right now, because a situation might come up where we might need them for something else.
There is no pressing need for anything right now except maybe FBB, but we might need the XP for something before the next two fights.
>>
>>38449808
HP recovers 5 times faster the PE, so it'd be better for feeding.

CON *is* useful, even if you don't get that without Durability's boosts we could be OHKO'd with no saving throw by an empowered maximized eviscerate.

STR is alright, I'm not complaining.

2 points of DR is a decent thing.

I'm not even saying to spend it on Durability, just spend it on *something*, there's no point in saving FBB XP.
>>
>>38449697
>Forged By Battle
>>
>>38449859
>HP recovers 5 times faster the PE, so it'd be better for feeding.
No, it wouldn't. If we get attacked while down on HP through feeding, we can't get those HP back during the fight. We can get spend PE back during the fight.
So its significantly less risky.

CON has a few highly situational uses, none of which are pressing immediate threats, and Dura wouldn't even help that much against them compared to other means.
2DR is basically nothing.
>>
Hm, wonder how Chaos Sorceress Spider Cyborg Quest is doing now.

“Handing a chaoswell sounds too risky” you say to Kaelyn “thanks for the idea, but we’ll stick with waiting until the psiwell is has recovered, in the meantime, I want Randolph to push as hard as he can to grow, and push the old forest back.”

-Will do!- promises Randolph.

And so you spend the next ten days waiting for the psiwell to recover. Its recovery is slow as Randolph draws energy from it to fuel his growth and despite your efforts to strengthen it, the best you are able to do is help it recover a little faster.

You’re not bored in that time though. The beastmen attacks increase in frequency and number, even the beasts of the old forest join them in near constant assaults upon your territory. You and your allies are run ragged defending Randolph against these incursions, allowing him to save his energies on growing.

Still, your efforts have some success. After 10 days of focused growth, Randolph has increased his area of influence by around 50% and the psiwell is fully recovered.

You are full of vitae, as is Lirael, and your psychic energy has recovered.

Do you assault the old forests mind now, or wait for Randolph to grow more?

With the psiwell restored, you and Lirael head to it and form a gestalt not only with each other, but with Randolph as well. Together your triplicate mind reaches out and attempts to breach the defences of the old forest.

-You won’t find the Creator!- thunders the old forest at you –I won’t let you!-

And indeed, you don’t know Janes exact location, but you can see that her real self is hidden away in a network of caves at the edge of the forest, right against the canyon walls. You don’t know exactly which cave she is in, but you have it narrowed down to a square kilometre or so.

Guys I just remembered something, we have the ability to take people's magic from them.
If we locate Jane Vindel we can point at her and say
>"I take from you your ability to use Chaos magic. I take from you your ability to use the gifts of the Infinite Mirror" And suddenly she's powerless.

If we heap on enough impossibility we should be able to overcome her own aspect(s), but that would probably be an opposed check.
Still, I think this bears remembering.
>>
>>38450969
>we have the ability to take people's magic from them
No we don't.

You push deeper into the mind of the old forest, you need to know exactly where Jane Vindel is before you go hunting for her, searching through innumerable caves will take too long, giving her the perfect opportunity to launch a counter-attack, or flee.

Though it takes a great effort, you finally break through the last of the old forests mental defences.

[Lirael vitae 120/160]

You see Jane Vindel in one of the caves, it has a lived-in look with a bed, a wash stand, even cupboards and wardrobes. It also has a makeshift lab and a space set aside for ritual magic. All of this you see in the old forests mind, as well as the location. One of the side caves, nothing obvious to mark it out as her true hiding place from the outside. You could walk over there and be right by her front door, or even teleport into her home.

-Creator I failed to protect you- laments the old forest, its voice weaker now –But I will not fail to warn you!- You feel its mind reaching out to contact Jane Vindel.

Actions (old forest)
>Let it warn her
>Dominate it
>Corrupt it (Corruption +1, this pleases Baalzamon)
>Other (what?)

If Corruption wins there will be a further 5 minute vote with the following options:

- Corrupt it to obey you
- Corrupt it to hate Jane Vindel
- Corrupt it to give way to Randolph and die peacefully

Please don’t vote for the corruption sub-options unless asked to.

Well, he'd only be able to offer us two levels, and I think it was a first level Gift, so we'd get cheated if we vote for that. Just stick around after the thread for XP spending if you want to try and make an argument for it.

He'll probably offer a new T3 Gift that's better than 10 XP.

It's somewhat infuriating, slightly more than it is humorous, and my near-perpetual hateboner for the dice gods isn't making it less so. I'd agree to almost any amount of XP burn to spite them.

It fits pretty nicely though.
And there is no reason baalzamon wouldn't use Mirrors hateboner for us to his own advantage.

I don't mean working together in as they want the same thing.

I hope whatever we get is at least something scary. Should make for an interesting scene when we attack Jane. And maybe if it's some kind of shadow based mutation, it'll turn into a void mutation.

Inb4 It's something stupid looking useless and a detriment. Rember we fail a roll we can get stuff that is wholly negative, like weakness to sunlight.
>>
>>38451868
So, what? Baalzi got Mirror to sabotage Shee's willpower gift shaping so that he could ensure she got the gift he wanted her to have, and possibly also to put Mirror in an even more precarious position with the rules?
>>
>>38451818
I can see them working together on the grounds that B man wants to see what happens and we're not the be all and end all of life for the five but I don't think he would go out of his way to betray us.

Or Shee just got really unlucky here. It's not like this is rare enough that it can /only/ be the result of gods dicking us.

>>38451932
Or would could just suck it up and not try to blame it on Baalz or mirror either of or in game
>>
>>38451932
For example. Although normally Baalzi can't influence the unshaped gift, the gods only get to choose which three to offer if we shape them.

But any gift we get is in his nature, so it works out for him either way.

Really, this whole thing is too perfect to not be with some kind of special IC event.

Obviously we know it was the work of evben more terrible gods than the Five, but that doesn't mean it has to be flavored as that in the story.

You stain the mind of the old forest, twisting it until it sees the truth you have created: that Jane Vindel didn’t create it, she tricked, and is only using it. You see resentment and doubt build, until the old forest is as much an enemy of her as you are.

You retreat from the old forests mind, Baalzamons power running wild within you, no matter what you don’t want it affecting Lirael or Randolph so you end the gestalt.

With the gestalt ended you thank Lirael and Randolph for their help and you head out to find Kaelyn and Rainya. Kaelyn will be invaluable against whatever chaos magic Jane has, and you *need* to have at least one of the Rainyas with you, or else Jane will see you coming.

Before you’ve taken a half dozen steps you feel everything around you grow dark, and the sibilant whisper of Baalzamon in your ear “it seems we need to talk, you and I....”

---

And that’s it for today, thanks for playing. For your actions today you gain 7XP.

Next thread in 11 hours. It will start with Baalzamon scene, and then go to the attack Jane Vindel scene.

Not really. People asked to tie it into a story event at best, more people aske dfor Pally to use his list this time.
And those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

Me too, but I don't like the "Mirror fucked the gift up", I do want to get hit by that random Mutation, we fail these rolls already so rarely and it will become more and more rare as the story continues.

We only had one real random gift, assuming that was the case with Titanic Shape.

Baali can't, and most likely wouldn't even want to back out on our deal.

>>38452640
It not backing out of the deal as so much as we had horrible luck and we rather get a horrible gift(which will really hurt us in the fight) Or for a small small fee he can make it go away or even make it good.

>>38452649
Probably, if not worse.
>>
>>38452550
1
To be honest. I really hope this is just accompanying the actual random gift we get, and not instead of it, because this scene isn't going to be such a huge deal.
I expect if anything he is going to offer us a specific gift in exchange for a task, or we eat the random mutation.
>>
>>38452678
>Or for a small small fee he can make it go away or even make it good.
Thats what I'm expecting too, the small fee probably will be in relation to our previous deal, but he's smart enough to not have it be something silly like "teach her more Shadow powers", because he probably already realises that doesn't work out.
>>
>>38452678
>It not backing out of the deal as so much as we had horrible luck and we rather get a horrible gift(which will really hurt us in the fight) Or for a small small fee he can make it go away or even make it good.
Yeah, it's probably this.

"Hey, Shee. So you fucked up on that gift shaping. Rough luck, that. Your skin is about to turn into solid shadows, which wouldn't be all that bad, but it'll go away in light. So, y'know, you'll bleed like crazy whenever it's not dark. I cooooouuuuuuuld make that not happen. I could give you a nice gift. Something great. Maybe make the shadows go more than skin deep so you're intangible? Or how about making them not affected by light? Or something else if you really want. I just need one small favor..."
>>
>>38452723
Hopefully he's also smart enough to realize that giving Shee an ultimatum she doesn't like also won't work.

"Agree to teach her more shadows whenever possible" would just result in us flipping him off and taking the bad gift.
>>
>>38452550
1. Given that Pally is planning to roll right through the Baalz conversation, I doubt it'll be anything major. If he tries to cut a deal, the answer will probably be a resounding *NO* especially if that deal involves Lirael.
>>
>>38452764
I don't even know why you think he would do that, that sort of direct blackmail isn't his style at all.

Baalzi doesn't brute force things like that, he's going to offer us something slightly dubious that doesn't sound too bad.

Blackmail isn't baalzamons domain, nor has he any interest in making Shee dislike him. At least for now.
>>
>>38452764
Hopefully he's not that smart. Do you want him to really nail us to the wall or something?

>>38452883
>And anons already love him. (can't imagine why)
He is a fun character and interactions with him have always been interesting. Much better than Jagganatha's HIT STUFF HARD, for example.
>>
>>38452883
>And anons already love him.
Two guys spend their entire day fellating him, the rest of us like his gifts or are indifferent. I doubt many of us think taking his deals is ever a good thing, regardless of how reasonable they could sound.

>>38452909
We can usually protect her from most threats, but not from his influence which will hopefully never happen. I don't really care why he does something or how much sense it makes to him, that's not a valid reason to forgive him to me.
>>
>>38452951
I do love him, but I think he's a conniving prick who will fuck us over if it benefits his schemes. I'm not going to go all FULL BAALZI AHEAD, that's retarded, but I detest the people who constantly yell about how they want to burn all bridges with the guy and "the Six will become the Four" and that trash.

>>38452940
The only reason he's fun is because he's trying to bait us in until we're too deep. It seems to be working splendidly.

>>38452951
>I doubt many of us think taking his deals is ever a good thing, regardless of how reasonable they could sound.
I pray the rejoicefags ignore the next thread then.

>>38452909
Thing is he'll turn her into a puppet, her willpowers isn't great and his is diety grade.

>>38452985
yeah the six becoming four is retarded. At worst we're going to start throwing monkey wrenches into other deity's plans if we ascend.
>>
>>38452951
>that's not a valid reason to forgive him
Except he hasn't done anything that would need forgiving.
Sofar all he has ever done was help Shee and speak out in her favor.

Of course, if we make the mistake of trusting him, he would totally fuck us over.
He's a dick, make no mistake. But one we can have a working relationship with because he wants us to like him, and we have a lot to gain from working with him.

> but not from his influence
We actually can, there is no reason to assume we can't.
>>
>>38453013
>Thing is he'll turn her into a puppet
That is purely your own paranoia fueled speculation, it 'might' happen, but just as likely it won't. He isn't King or Ichor.
He would influence her to be the sort of person he wants her to be, thats not something that can't ever be worked against.
>>
>>38452985
>constantly yell about how they want to burn all bridges with the guy
That was only after accepting that terrible deal when I was extremely mad.

>and "the Six will become the Four"
I say that because it's fun, though if he winds up influencing Lirael at any point, it will be a substantially more serious statement.

>>38453021
>We actually can, there is no reason to assume we can't.
The entire thing about his influence is that nobody knows it's happening, including the person being influenced. That's what his powers do and why I don't like the idea of letting him speak to Lirael, ever. The only way we can protect her in that regard is by making it so the influence doesn't happen via Void powers, which are awesome in their own right.

>>38453066
His influence involves invisibly rewriting minds and personalities, anon.
>>
>>38453013
No, I think he's personality is amusing and his dialogue is always fun. Not just in his interaction with Shee, I mena in general.

Doesn't help that I keep reading his lines with an awesome voice. Wish I knew whose voice I read them with.
>>
>>38453013
>Thing is he'll turn her into a puppet
Not more likely than Ichor will turn Rainya into her puppet now.

Which is to say, he would definitly 'try' influencing her, but it would hardly be straight up mindrape, because thats not his domain.
You will notice he hasn't shown a single mindrape gift sofar.
>>
>>38453086
>The entire thing about his influence is that nobody knows it's happening, including the person being influenced.
Except we would totally know its happening and be watching out for it.

And I really dearly hope you are not so naive to think that the Void thing will be the ultimate and final counter to him in this matter.
It will only work because it wasn't actually about Lirael to begin with.
>>
>>38453102
>You will notice he hasn't shown a single mindrape gift sofar.
Except that one that let us make undetectable Fellowship checks and have the target believe that what we wanted them to think was their own inner thoughts/desires, you mean.

>Not more likely than Ichor will turn Rainya into her puppet now.
A great deal more likely, actually, since Baalzamon outright said he'd be manipulating her and Ichor said she wouldn't. Ichor also hates Baalzamon's type of half-truths and loopholes, so I believe she was being upfront about it.
>>
>>38453102
Why would she? What would be her motivation? Shee's probably one of her favorites. Why would she want to mess with her more than the god fucking with people?
>>
>>38453102
We got most of his gifts from it though. Only reason we don't see them is cause we hate using them.

>>38453066
He'd be whispering too her 24/7 and she has an 8 will and low (comparartively) int. Also Ichor likes us a lot, Baalzie only has a stake in her really.
>>
>>38453156
>since Baalzamon outright said he'd be manipulating her
No, he said he would be telling her his secrets.
Of course he will 'manipulate' her, but thats not the same thing as putting mindrape on her.

And if you think Ichor isn't planning to use her connection with Rainya to her advantage, then really anon, I don't know what to say.
You do remember she is more about emotional mnaipulation than Baalzi is?
>>
>>38453102
Yes. Risk alienating a Reunited that currently favors you highly by making her loved one a puppet. Excellent work, god of family.
>>
>>38453205
>And if you think Ichor isn't planning to use her connection with Rainya to her advantage
Name an advantage she could gain by doing it.

Because I can think of a hell of a lot of ways it'd bite her in the ass to try, but very little for her to gain from it.

>Of course he will 'manipulate' her, but thats not the same thing as putting mindrape on her.
It is with Baalzamon, since talking can be mind rape with him.
>>
>>38453215
I don't know what to say here.
You do realise there is more to manipulation than straight up making someone "your puppet"?

Of course Ichor is going to use her connection to Rainya to drive us closer to her.
You think she can't ever find a way to do that with plausible deniability? Why do you think she specifically said "what she does on her own though...".
She is still a old god, you'd be absurdly naive to trust her. She is just untrustworthy ina d ifferent way from Baalzamon.
>>
>>38453215
>Motherknowsbest.avi
Family is not always a field of flowers, anon. A mother can be as kind as possessive and controlling.
>>
>>38453266
>>38453269
Thing is we favor Ichor already, She knows this. What would she gain really when she know tweaking us off only gets us pissed at her? If we had lower favor with her I could see it. Baal on the other hand might just be willing to cut his losses on single reunited(who is still unlikely to win) take his shadow loli and go home.
>>
I hope Baalzamon ends up only wanting a promise we won't block Lirael from learning his gifts out of hand. That would be nice.
>>
>>38453251
>Name an advantage she could gain by doing it.

Rainya worshipping her is a good way to make sure we don't turn against Ichors teachings, for example.
Did you consider what might happen if Rainya starts to really worship the Deep Mother?
Rainya is a very pretty chain that Ichor now has to bind us more to her.
She is fucking Kimbery, the goddess of yanderes.
>>
>>38453318
>take his shadow loli and go home
You think Lirael is honestly the only vampire in the whole galaxy Baalzamon could get his fingers on?
Does this not strike you as a bit implausible?
>>
>>38453266
Maybe she will, maybe she won't. My money is on won't because 'plausible deniability' doesn't fucking matter, what matters is whether or not she winds up angering Shee and she has little to gain and much to lose by manipulating Rainya.

>>38453335
And Rainya is able to enforce us following Ichor's teachings in a way that we won't notice and wouldn't be infuriated over. Right.

>>38453325
Would reject outright.
>>
>>38453318
>Thing is we favor Ichor already, She knows this.
We still aren't her Avatar, and we have denied her several times in the past. There are some key issues we strongly disagree with her on.

Us favouring her, doesn't mean all that much, we don't favour her that much mor ethan the King, for example.
>>
>>38453335
Yep, mums got a way to bring us home with a soft hand if she needs it and she did us a favour by getting it.
Well played mum.
>>
>>38453363
No. But she was one of the only ones in a position to get taught who had no loyalties to the Oubliettes. Additionally she's graced, meaning she is fuck awfully strong and as she gets older it will get more pronounced.

>>38453335
Why would she though, we follow her the most and have her aspect. She knows how badly we'd take it if she tried.

>>38453406
True but we side with her when it comes to family/command issues. Additionally we're slowly going harem just like she wants. She can wear us down in time. Using Rainya for a quick yank would cost far too much if she failed. Additionally Rianya is more loyal to us than her. Baalzie wouldn't countenance that.
>>
It's just laughable to be that anyone thinks Ichor is trying to be more manipulative than the god of betrayal who's about to actually manipulate us. Again.
>>
>>38453406
>There are some key issues we strongly disagree with her on.
A few, but probably not as many as you think, and likely a great deal fewer than the majority of Reunited.
>>
>>38453388
Keep saying that. Just you wait for when Rainya puts her clones to use and begins taking extra lovers.
>>
>>38453388
>that we won't notice and wouldn't be infuriated over
Who says that? Does it matter? Would we stop being generous to and protective of our family?
I think you overestimate the importance of the Favour thing, we don't choose those options because we want Ichor to like us.
We do because its in Shees nature, as long as Shee keeps doing things that please her, it doesn't matter if Shee WANTS to please Ichor.

Shee isn't her Avatar, she is not the horse Ichor is betting on right now.
But Rainya is a option for her, and you can bet Ichor has planted that option because it ties SHee more to her.
>>
>>38453490
Then we'd break up with her and blame Ichor. I reiterate, her manipulating Rainya would be a fucking stupid move.
>>
>>38453473
>. Additionally we're slowly going harem just like she wants.
No. Fuck off. We are not, and never will, no matter how much you like to pretend it.
Its just not gonna happen, accept it and stop that stupid "Harem any thread now guys,definitly"!
>>
>>38453473
>Additionally we're slowly going harem just like she wants.
No, we're not, and she doesn't actually want that anymore.
>>
>>38453553
She still wants it, she just hasn't brought it up the last couple times.
>>
>>38453553
Her last favor was either return the oceans and kill millions, or take 3 lovers anon.
>>
>>38453527
>I reiterate, her manipulating Rainya would be a fucking stupid move.
She was about to offer us the choice between drowning milions or cheating on Rainya last time, I think you might slightly overestimate how much Ichor wants Shee to absolutely like her.
>>
>>38453594
Even if Ichor does, both Shee and Rainya have made it pretty clear that they don't and Ichor wouldn't gain much by pissing off on of the more powerful players in the game.
>>
>>38453624
Cheating is a strong word, anon.
>>
>>38453527
No, I think you are just making a mistake if you think all forms of manipulation are so crude we would start absolutely hating her for it. Or even find out.
The far better sort of manipulation is the one where we behave how she wants and thank her for it, and Rainya is a way for that.

It isn't always about the big things, Ichor is mainly interested in Shee being closer to her nature, like for example getting a bigger family.

Remember how Rainya felt about getting children?
>>
>>38453624
Thing is Ichor let us add in Rainya's loyalty to us. It's higher than hers to Ichor. We're one of Ichor's favored anyways. If her avatar ever bites it we'll likely get asked to replace.
>>
>>38453661
You're underestimating how highly the Five view having the future Sixth agree with them and overestimating Shee's current value.

The value of the potential Sixth matching up with them is valued far higher than the chances of their success, as evidenced by them still doing Avatars .
>>
>>38453624
It's not cheating if we get Rainya to agree to it. It didn't have to be cheating, that would have just made it easier in the short-term and harder in the long-term.
>>
>>38453664
No, it would definitly have been cheating, we might have been able to get Rainya small smile through it while we cheat on her, because she has self-esteem issues but it wouldn't be any less cheating.

>>38453730
>Thing is Ichor let us add in Rainya's loyalty to us.
Of course she did, for the same reason Baalzamon deal had all these huge and obvious loopholes because we wouldn't have taken the deal otherwise.

And yes, we probably would. Would we agree on our own though? Highly unlikely.
With a bit of motivation though, who knows.
>>
>>38453616
I'm pretty sure that was a joke option.

>>38453624
She doesn't want Shee to be her best friend, just ensure she's an ally if we win.

>>38453664
But extremely accurate.

>>38453701
>Remember how Rainya felt about getting children?
I don't, actually. I think she wanted kids eventually, but I'm not sure.

>>38453780
Yeah, that's not really going to happen.
>>
>>38453755
Shee already matches her pretty damn well. There's just no reason for her to try being sneaky and manipulative when they already get along so well.
>>
>>38453794
>I'm pretty sure that was a joke option.
It wasn't.
>>
>>38453842
It was.
>>
>>38453794
>I don't, actually.
Not that anon, and I'm kinda fuzzy too, but her reaction to "I made a deal with Ichor involving you" was more or less "Oh, I guess I need to get knocked up with freaky monster babies? Let's do it."
>>
>>38453794
>I'm pretty sure that was a joke option.
it wasn't, favors are srsbsns
>>
>>38453794
>She doesn't want Shee to be her best friend, just ensure she's an ally if we win.
Thats pretty much my pont, so if we still agree with her ona lot of things, and like her more than the other gods, thats still a win even if we might have a disagreement here and there.

>>38453832
No guarantee it stays that way. We used to favour the King higher than her for a while.
We used to not favour Baalzamon at all until he surged in popularity with us.
Ichor might want a little insurance.
>>
>>38453854
It wasn't. Ichor offered two tasks to Shee to pick between. If anything, the drowning part was the less serious offer.
>>
>>38453854
AA you know how many aspects we can have?
>>
I'm just gonna wait and see what Baalzi wants. 99% chance it's horrible, but I'm not going to make up my mind 100% to turn him down and crank up hostilities before we even know what he wants.
>>
>>38453855
> “Oh, yes, well, I’m a bit young to be a mother but I suppose I can learn, and kids are ok I guess.”
She was definitly not very enthusiastic about it, which is pretty understandable, since she is 15 and all.
>>
>>38453901
15 isn't that young by duster standards. She's practically middle aged, or at least she was before she stopped living in that hell-hole.
>>
>>38453888
Nah, you could've circumvented the killing part of the oceans easily.

I talked to OP about this, he directly called the lovers option him joking around.

>>38453893
I was originally planning on a cap of 7 when talking about Aspects with OP, but that might've been lowered, it could just be 3 now.

If it's still above three, you need another point of Mirror favor and to level your existent aspects before the next choice becomes available.
>>
>>38453917
>15 isn't that young by duster standards.
We don't really know how old that is by Duster standards, considering she saw Lirael as child with 11, I don't think its that different.

Just because Dusters die early, doesn't mean they consider pregnancy earlier.
>>
>>38453917
She herself said she is a bit too young to be a mother, so obviously it doesn't work like that.
>>
>>38453960
Alright then Mirror favor grind is needed as in grinding family
>>
>>38453960
>Nah, you could've circumvented the killing part of the oceans easily.
Could we have let the people die and then blamed the Fae to go full-scumbag and make Six proud?
>>
>>38453960
>you need another point of Mirror favor
If I remember it right, Pally had tied it to number of gifts, not to the favor.
Which in case of Mirror does make a big difference to us.
>>
>>38453960
>you need another point of Mirror favor
Mirror a shit. I guess we'll just have to keep slaughtering his Avatars until he stops being a shit.
>>
>>38454111
I'm okay with Mirror as long as he stops being a whiny bitch about this whole thing.
If he wouldn't have thrown his hissy fit, we would be loving him by now for all his cool gifts.

Even if his favour would still be rare as hen's teeth.
>>
>>38454169
I can't even remember the 4 things we did that got us favor with him.
>>
>>38454196
I think 3 of them or so were write-ins.
I remember one was exchanging the news about he visiting vampire against Yonsuls secret.
I remember we went practically mad in the early quest because it seemed impossible to get Mirror favour.
>>
>>38453917
Probably closer to 18 before most of them would consider reproducing. Rainya just really loves you and figured that having your kids would be okay as far as Five favors go.

>>38454065
I think that getting Mirror's favor would still increase it to 6 for the purposes of this even if he refuses to actually give you a gift, it might be tied to Gifts instead though. Just murder avatars and it'll probably work itself out.

>>38454058
If you managed to find a way to spin it like that and fool the populace, yeah.

>>38454169
>Even if his favour would still be rare as hen's teeth.
Would hen dentures count for that? Hentures?
>>
>>38454239
It seems like the way we often save xp and spend it on things we need in the current situation would be mirror favor what with his change and adaption shtick.
>>
>>38454196
One was exchanging secrets with Yonsul, one was jewing Charun about the weapon sales and one was about not commiting to hate anyone in the conversation with Dev and Rainya.

I'm fairly sure most of his favour was from our own write-ins because we barely ever got any offered.

>>38454296
Its kinda ironic how we areally are his greatest disciple.

>>38454260
>even if he refuses to actually give you a gift
Do you know whats up with getting Mirror favour?
I remember back then we were told we would still get Favour choices for him, only that insterad of his gifts we would get one of the others. But we haven't seen a single Mirror Favour choice since then, and its been, I think over 20 threads by now.
>>
>>38454296
If only, although shifting our attacks style halfway through a fight might do it.

>>38454350
Wish I knew.
>>
>>38454260
>Just murder avatars and it'll probably work itself out.
If Family hadn't been an option, Slaughter or Inevitability woulda been really appropriate...
>>
>>38454350
Maybe Pally forgot
>>
How do people feel about the Hope aspect?
>>
>>38454458
Meh.
>>
>>38454458
Meh.
>>
>>38454431
Considering how absurdly rare Mirror favour was before then I wouldn't even be surprised if it just happened to never appear again, I just don't know and I would like clarity on it.

>>38454458
Meh.
>>
>>38454473
>>38454476
Meh mind. Worse thing is that I don't know which one is mine.
>>
>>38454350
>Do you know whats up with getting Mirror favour?
Nobody knows the riddle of mirrors.

I can think of one event happening in the semi-near future which will earn you a mirror favor.

It's just really hard to actually figure out what represents his aspects and tell when something should earn his favor, especially since a lot of the things he likes are done through the XP interface, which could be gamed so hard if it was allowed.

>>38454405
Inevitability is probably going to come up again after the nonsense you've been doing recently. I find myself wondering what Aspect would best represent the Surprise Roomba.
>>
>>38454473
>>38454476
>>38454492
Meh Mind.


Out of the aspects we've seen which one would fit Shee best?
>>
>>38454497
The first one. You have a 4sec quicker draw on indifference.
>>
>>38454458
A pretty word for an unremarkeable aspect. There are better ones to take.

>>38454510
Inevitability. It's pretty much what we are doing right now.
>>
>>38454510
I think Impossibility is pretty fitting. I don't like the downside much, but what it's about fits Shee really well.

If you stand against her, she will fuck you up.
>>
>>38454458
More eloquent answer, I don't find it fits Shee 'that' well nor do I want to develop her character into a direction where it would fit her better.

I'm sure there will be more interesting Aspects if we get more, and I'm not that eager to get more.
>>
>>38454537
>>38454510
>Impossibility
Inevitability*


That said, I'd rather see if we can take the new crystal seed thing from a new potential aspect and cram it into one of our existing ones.
>>
>>38454509
>I find myself wondering what Aspect would best represent the Surprise Roomba.

Cunning? Slaughter? Innovation?
>>
>>38454510
If Shee were more influenced by the vocal discussion, it would be Emotion.

Joking aside, I really don't know. Inevitability would definitly be a good fit with all the bullshit we are doing right now.
>>
>>38454458
What >>38454541 said hits the nail more or less on the head for me. Hope just doesn't really see appropriate. Didn't Shee have higher Cynicism before that system got replaced, anyway?
>>
>>38454587
by one or two.
>>
>>38454600
Ok, it wasn't extremely pronounced, but you'd think that someone with a Hope aspect would be further away from the middle.
>>
>>38454587
She did. It was 7 or 6 Cynism against 4 Hope.
>>
>>38454613
I interpreted it as she got far more hopeful after she got impossibility which let her say fuck you to those who'd fuck humanity over.
Still we'll see when Pally gives us another choice, if we get one.
>>
>>38454613
I remember by the time we replaced it the difference was fairly large, which was noteworthy because Shee had been fairly balanced in that regard for most of the time before then.
>>
>>38454562
That's double-impossible.

>>38454587
A few points, but Hope is something of a misnomer, the aspect being more about *giving* Hope than necessarily being full of hope yourself. And you do give a substantial number of people Hope.

The system became somewhat outdated when your brain stopped working quite the same way as a mortal's.
>>
>>38454638
The Aspects only have to fit to some extent, and I find Hope fits her about as well as Slaughter did.
>>
>>38454638
Hope/Cynicism was more about how she sees the rest of the world. Impossibility really hasn't changed that. She doesn't see the world as a necessarily good place, but now she feels that she can force it to be one.
>>
>>38454688
Fair enough.

>>38454699
More or less becoming hope.as AA said here>>38454674
>>
>>38454585
>>38454529
>>38454537
What has she really done that fits Inevitability besides this thing with Jane? The attack on the shadow vamps at the shuttle port?
>>
>>38454739
Well, any time when she faced downa lot of enemies and powered through isntead of backing down or fleeing.

The encounter with Jane, the shadow vamp, the fight in the park, the first Mirror Avatar killing would come to mind first.

Probably some other times too I can't remember. She has retreated just as often I think.
>>
>>38454783
And most of the times when she fled it was to ensure the safety of allies rather than for herself. Makes sense what with how the Family aspect came before Inevitability(if we end up getting it)
>>
>>38454824
Didn't family come up all three aspect votes?
>>
>>38454843
It did. Unsurprisingly.
>>
>>38454843
I can't remember, I was just saying that Family became a actualized aspect before Inevitability if we do end up picking it as our fourth.
>>
>>38454880
Families bonuses don't work against Inevitabilities malus though, so that would be problematic.
I don't think you can see it as Aspect A cancels out Aspect B, if anything it would need to be a clause to the Aspect itself, like how Corruption works.

I'm personally not interested in any of the Aspects we've seen and haven't taken.
>>
How about "Retribution" as an aspect?
>>
>>38455005
Eh, don't see it.
>>
>>38454957
Hope has been the only aspect I've seen without a malus.

>>38455005
Fits but still like most of the other ones we've skipped, doesn't entirely fit.
>>
>>38455044
>>38455046
I don't think it's about making something a perfect fit. They're aspects, not whole descriptors of Shee's being.
>>
>>38455046
>Hope has been the only aspect I've seen without a malus.
It technically as one
>However you need to pass a Will check to abandon an ally, even in the face of certain death.

But, well.
>>
>>38455078
No, I don't think it even fits enough to become a Aspect to begin with.

Its niche even compared to stuff like Slaughter or Giving.
>>
>>38455084
It overlaps with family to the point it kinda doesn't matter. Family's malus is even worse.

>>38455078
Still some fit better than others(family and control)
>>
>>38455084
Woulda been funny to have that during the Ash thing so we coulda watched the people who wanted him to die to freak out about having to do a willpower roll.
>>
>>38455131
It depends on what "abandon" means here.
I'm fairly sure no one voted for teleporting away without him anyway.
>>
>>38455153
Yeah Don't get why everyone hated him to the point of letting him get tortured.
>>
>>38455247
He was a guy and he did a couple stupid things.
>>
>>38455247
That had actually noting to do with hate, I actually doubted he was there until Pally said he was.
>>
>>38455247
Most of the hate or him was from the way he came into being to begin with.
Which wasn't really helped by the fact that he did some things that didn't endear him to people, wasn't a very interesting character nor very strongly tied into any part of the main plot.

So there was a whole bunch of people who were at best indifferent to him, some outright hated him, and some of the people who liked him were such obnoxious faggots that they actually made others dislike him by association.

The whole thing was rather unfortunate.
>>
>>38455368
In short, he suffered from a severe case of "Bokin Syndrome"
>>
Still hating him to the point Pally had to basically say you don't save him you're going to lose shit is rather extreme. Then there's the fact we had 3-5 people bitching about it afterwards, and saying good riddance.
>>
>>38455411
There are definitly similarities, yes. Although it was definitly not nearly as bad with Bokin.
>>
>>38455450
>Still hating him to the point Pally had to basically say you don't save him you're going to lose shit is rather extreme.
As I said, that was mostly because people didn't believe he was actually in there.
Because it was a very real posibility he wasn't.
>>
>>38455478
and the "why would we lsoe ichor favor over him" and "what does ichor see in him?" Then the whole "let the fucker die" and "good riddance"?
>>
>>38455501
>"why would we lsoe ichor favor over him"
I looked it up again, and no one said that.

The "what does ichor see in him?", was pretty clearly a joke, because there is no reason to assume Ichor sees anything in him.

And most of the "let him die" was to not triviliaze death, not so much because of hate for the character.
I think people have a tendency to overstate how much of that there actually was by inflating a few comments.
>>
>>38455501
Not gonna lie, I'm glad he's gone.
Not because of the character, but because of the asinine shitposting he inspired by fans and haters.

And I freely admit I never forgave Ashleyfags for that write-in, even if I'm reasonable enough to undersand it was a minority thing even among them and nothing ever came of it.
>>
Eh, I still wish we had managed to save the 3 potential party members, just so we had more abilities to work with.

We have 3 potentials dead. 3 Party members sitll alive, one we can get later, Yonsol who is still alive.

One of the dead was bad luck.
Another was just the players could not give a fuck about him and hated him.
Ash was just a case of bad luck. We would have had to fight our way in when we found out.

>>38455619

Which write in?
>>
>>38455619
What write in was that again? the Lirael feeder one?

>>38455650
>One of the dead was bad luck.
Rhydian? agreed but it was him or Lirael, easy call.
>Another was just the players could not give a fuck about him and hated him.
Quinn? Yeah we should have gotten him out of there and into sanctuary like we did Kae.
>Ash was just a case of bad luck. We would have had to fight our way in when we found out.
We held off too long checking on him, and instead off knee jerk teleporting(which might have saved him, might) We took too long.
>>
>>38455650
>Which write in?
I think he means the one from when Lirael asked for the first time if Shee would only be her Feeder and someone wrote a write in of "I have other friends I might want to let feed on me".
>>
>>38455650
>>38455718

>"I have other friends I might want to let feed on me".

Yeah thats the one. Having Shee say " I want to be a blood whore" to Lirael, was fucking awful. Especially the "friends" part, because it was some retarded harem fag.
>>
>>38455707
>We held off too long checking on him, and instead off knee jerk teleporting(which might have saved him, might) We took too long.

I submitted a question to Pally through ask.fm.

From the time he messaged Shee, he was rewritten.

The only ways Shee could have saved Ash after Quinns death was to come clean on what is happening and then go ahead and put him under protection. The dagger was set up just in case we teleported him to us.

Other then that, if we fought in, cleared everything, subdued a few shadow vampires, chased off jane and jade and then got to Ash we could have noticed something was up and maybe saved him then.
>>
>>38455650
>Eh, I still wish we had managed to save the 3 potential party members, just so we had more abilities to work with.
Not really, 2 out of three of those were vampires, which we already have with Lirael.
And enither of them had powersets that we needed covering.

Rydian was a loss, and I'm still sad we didn't make involving him with us a greater priority and prevent his death, even if of course we would have always chosen Lirael first.

But I think our group is already pretty versatile in their ability spread, and there are still other in the future we might recruit too.
>>
>>38455802
In theory we could have chosen to teleport him without any clothes or items.

And I remember at least one anon actually had suggested doing so back then.
>>
>>38455802
Still having him in a safeish place when it detonated so we could maybe cpr him or Rev him faster(which would have been easier) Might have saved him.as could>>38455857

Point was we were fucking lax with the vampires and with Kae's family. Both cost us dearly.
>>
>>38455857

A few voted for it, but it got lost. I think I voted for it, but at work, on a 4" phone screen it is hard to type and keep up and work at the same time.

>>38455827
They would have been vampires with access to areas that Lirael does not have probably. Without blood fruits it would be a real pain to manage however.

Have some other bodies to help cover stuff in like this cluster fuck with Jane would help.

Would be better, in this case if we could have left say Dev and Quinn for example back and bring Ash and Dydian on this cluster fuck with Jane

It happens, especially with how TG is with quests.

>>38455903
As soon as it blew up, and in a way that Ash ate most of the explosion he was fucked. Emergency hospital treatment may of saved him. We could not even psychic heal him.

Maybe if we had nanobot healing injections or something. Tech that might as well be magic.
>>
Everyone seems to agree that Shee really fits as a Mirror follower even if they hate eachother.

What if for her next Aspect, she got Change or Adaptation or something?
>>
>>38455953
>As soon as it blew up, and in a way that Ash ate most of the explosion he was fucked. Emergency hospital treatment may of saved him. We could not even psychic heal him.Maybe if we had nanobot healing injections


Well yeah but if we didn't dick around fighting mercs and instant ported him, we could have lowered the rev dc and saved him. Pally confirmed the faster we did it the better.

I do agree we need more characters to fight, also to make Dev less squishy. (maybe he can into magic? We could ask Kae)

>>38455977
maybe.
>>
>>38455953
>Would be better, in this case if we could have left say Dev and Quinn for example back and bring Ash and Dydian on this cluster fuck with Jane
It depends on how their power-sets would have looked like at this point.
Rydian would have been most likely acombat beast with his Mutations, but Quinn and Ashley would I'm not so sure.
And there wasn't really much of a reason to leave anyone behind besides the one Rainya.

Considering how little use we make of Dev, I don't think significantly more companions would be a good thing.

Experience wth PoJ where we also had a lot of companions but only ever brought 3-4 of those to anything, because everyone else was to squishy, kinda reinforces that.
>>
>>38456025
>maybe
She literally grew a forest that hyperevolved and took over like some kind of magic plant cancer, creating new bullshit to fight back against everything that hurt it.

It should definitely at least be an option.
>>
>>38455977
>What if for her next Aspect, she got Change or Adaptation or something?
Noooo.

I doubt they'll even show up.

Mirror's a trash god anyway.

>>38456025
I don't think that saving the thirty seconds we fought the mercenaries for would've made a massive difference in the revival DC given that we took, what, thirty minutes to remove that antinite?

>>38456076
That's all Corruption and Impossibility, not adaptation.
>>
>>38456025
>I do agree we need more characters to fight, also to make Dev less squishy. (maybe he can into magic? We could ask Kae)

We can load him up with 60 more hp as soon as we do 1 Psychic infection.

infection : adaption
body control (5)
Enhance Ability (5)
Enhance Senses (5)
Life Drain (5)
Life Extension (5)
Psychic Healing (5)
30xp.
10 skill in adaption for 10xp
40xp total

Gives the +10 stats, +60hp.

We can then have like 40xp to spend elsewhere.
>>
>>38456035
Thankfully we can make members less squishy already. Also Dev kicked ass until mirror bitch spelled him.


>>38456151
Good idea, we'd need to max his will out too though, tog et the most out of all of those abilities.
>>
>>38456133
>That's all Corruption and Impossibility, not adaptation.
You're obviously missing the point here. Or you just plain don't like it so you're grasping at anything to try to support your dislike instead of finding actual reasons that it's unfeasible.
>>
>>38456035
>Considering how little use we make of Dev, I don't think significantly more companions would be a good thing.

I think the problem isn't number of companions, its that Shee is 'too' versatile.
She can do too many things at the same time, and everyone else is just additional bodies, not really unique skills.
Kaelyn is the only one who can do something we can't do at all.

I can't help but feel our companions would be better of if Shee would have only access to the gifts or psychic abilities.

Even now, we can only give them abilities we already have access to.
I would have liked for some of our companions to follow other gods, like Jagganatha so they can take gifts we wouldn't tkae, but that are still good.
Rainya following Jaggantha would be fnatastic with all the transformations.
Or stuff like the Hesan, if Shee couldn't be both combat monster and excellent talker, we would actually have need for a socially skilled companion who could benefit from that.
>>
>>38456215
Dev seems like he'd be the ideal jaggie follower in both body(dude is huge) and mind(tech powers ahoy!) Of course King would feel left out as the other gods all have ties on us with Rainya, Lirael and all.
>>
>>38456186
>You're obviously missing the point here.
Because you don't really seem to have a point there. Adaptation would adapting to our surroundings and situation rather than just overwriting our environment. Change is literally Corruption, to the point that we considered changing Corruption's name to Change before.

>>38456151
>Gives the +10 stats
It doesn't do that, though? Enhance Ability's stat gains are based off Willpower modifier, so he wouldn't be able to exceed a +4 from that, and I'm not sure where else he'd be getting stats in Psychometabolism.
>>
>>38456185

Master gives +10. The 10 in adaption is for 30 extra hp for 10xp.

Master gives him the +8 for perception. He has +10 str/agi/con due to master.

We can push will up to 14, for a +2, which maxes out enhance abilities passive, and gives +6more hp for a cost of 6xp.

>>38456215

Shee is too potent really. Rainya is now potent too. Energy bows doing 4d10 damage is very nice, for 5 of her.

Kae would be the easiest to have as a social, her fellowship and skills are already cranked.
>>
>>38456268
>Master gives him the +8 for perception. He has +10 str/agi/con due to master.
>We can push will up to 14, for a +2, which maxes out enhance abilities passive, and gives +6more hp for a cost of 6xp.
That's not how either of those abilities work.
>>
>>38456257
Dev would be a great fit for Jaggi, I don't see Shee bringing it up though, so I doubt it will be a thing unless Pally has Dev bring it up to us.

King got the whole resturant tie to us.

I wonder if we could get Yonsul to worship one of the Five... Jagga would work pretty well.
>>
>>38456298

Whoops, was reading things between will mod, willpower bonus.

Oh well, have to push his wisdom to 18, and then cry as a human he has no way to push higher.
>>
>>38456373
Psychometabolism is still a good investment for him.
Alongside getting him Apport, so he can Dimensional Arsenal his Power Armour.
>>
>>38456302
Doubtful, She a dhampir and all. Her staying normal would be best. She'd get spooted by Kulrathe pretty fast otherwise I'd imagine. Gift sense is a king gift after all.



>>38456373
Still makes him dangerous as hell. On par or better than most letum.
>>
>>38456404
>Doubtful, She a dhampir and all.
I don't see how that makes it more unlikely.
Its not like Dhampire powers are so great it means she doesn't nee anything else.

The point with Kulrathe is valid, but Kulrathe won't be a problem forever.
>>
>>38456403

Yes. I was pushing for it at the end of last thread, nice to see that Pally clarified it. Being able to port in powered armor, or light armor and weapons as the situation calls for is nice.

Or a bandolear of shields.

I think we should just go ahead and open a fixit repair shop next to the bar.

Have dev one of the workers there, and he can be employed and really his own boss.

Easier then having to deal with an owner or crap every time we need to have him help us.
>>
>>38456426
Still likely the only reason he's where he is is because of the compact. If they found out she worshipped dark gods she get booted r killed as she isn't a reunited.
>>
>>38456426
>The point with Kulrathe is valid, but Kulrathe won't be a problem forever.

We should either eliminate him or Jade next.

He will be running out for the empire to chase down the crashed ship. Might be a good place to ambush them.

Use the rebel contacts to line up a strong one, since most of his squad would be the ones that were in the raid.
>>
>>38456468
>If they found out she worshipped dark gods
Its not illegal to worship the old gods, actually.
And its not like they would necessairly find out.
>>
>>38456468
We don't actually know how regular Hiver society handles or sees Five worship.
Its explicitly not legal, and we don't know if it could bring problems with her job, its one of those things we would need to find out.
>>
>>38456547
>Its explicitly not legal
Its explicitly not illegal, I meant. Sorry.
>>
>>38456500
>>38456547
Fair enough. Still it's her choice.
>>
>>38456570
Obviously.
