“See?” you say “you can’t hop to catch me when I can fly and you can’t, now are you going to- no! Don’t you dare!”

Voken-Yanos turns his expressionless face from you, to the three people standing at the edge of the crater: Sofia, Isla and Jal.

He rushes towards then, now moving faster than you can run, but not faster than you can fly.

Sofia and Jal step forwards in front of Isla, even as Isla starts casting a spell.

You can’t let him hurt them, or drag them into the crater – when Isla stepped into it she almost died.

What do you do?

>Attack him in melee
>Use spell/power (what?)
>Wait, Isla has this

Yelling suggestions to your wives is also a possibility.

>>40150989
Use that metal shit. Trap him again. Geez, what an asshole.

[Meta]

Isla’s base XP cost for spells is 1 XP, this can be reduced/increased normally.

For every 1 XP reduction in cost on a spell costing 1 XP, you get a free spell when you buy one. So if buying a spell costs 1 XP, and you have a discount of 2 XP, you get 2 free spells for every 1 you buy.

Why use a basic attack to get SotS bonus attacks over Whirling Storm Barrage? Most of our damage comes from our Strmod anyway. If it's to get TaLS, that could be applied to any attacks in WSB or bonus SotS attacks, IIRC.

He's getting stronger every second that he's free. Anything he could tell us isn't worth the risk.

>>40151138
>He's getting stronger every second that he's free.
I heavily doubt he gets stronger without any sort of maximum strength, he is just regaining his strength, thats why I want to debuff him and then use Radiant Chains to pin him down, Radiant Chains damages him too, and in the unlikely case he is strong enough to break the Chains, we fuck him up again thanks to the speed bonus of SotS there is no way for him to attack our wives when he breaks out before we can step in.

>>40151163
You realize he's in a necromantic death crater and barely feeling it, right? One that almost killed one of our wives in seconds? You really want to make assumptions that he doesn't have some kind of ability to move fast enough and/or teleport?

Ok, giving him a beating plus using Radiant Chains

Radiant Chains prevents all plane shifting, and if he could teleport, he'd have done it already.
Even if he somehow still does and uses it, we can cast spells reflexively, he is never faster than Sireyi.
Especially not when he needs to break out of the Chains.

>>40151204
Okay, first of all, diversify your vocabulary. That's two times in two posts you've opened with heavily verbing.

SotS isn't that much faster, and if you wanted speed, Angelic Form is an eight times multiplier. The point of neither of us feeling it is that we're a fucking Goddess of Life. Him also not feeling it means that he's somewhere in that ballpark of power, probably a demigod, likely of something opposed to Storms.

>>40151231
Rapid spells are not reflexive actions, just spells that can be cast very quickly. There are powers to override powers that block dimensional travel. Sireyi doesn't teleport all over the place in spite of being able to; I see no reason why he would until he had to, especially in a wild magic zone.

>>40151316
>Angelic Form is an eight times multiplier
And would call every undead in miles radius to us, fantastic idea.

>>40151316
>Him also not feeling it means that he's somewhere in that ballpark of power
Or that he has affinity with necromantic energies.
You know, the obvious and likely scenario, given where we are.

>>40151337
Anon, True Angelic Magic is already doing that. Also, I have difficulties taking the undead seriously.

>>40151354
So he only has a massive source of power to tap into, which is probably the reason his strength keeps rising. That's so much better.

>>40151377
>Anon, True Angelic Magic is already doing that.
Possibly, we don't really know, and if it does, its definitly a far smaller beacon than turning full angel.

>So he only has a massive source of power to tap into, which is probably the reason his strength keeps rising. That's so much better.
I fail to see how its relevant to the point we were arguing about, perhaps you should stop trying to move goalposts?

You fly down and intercept him before he can reach your loved ones. You feel the power of the storms within you, waiting to be unleashed.

You land in front of him, and as he barrels towards you, you summon the power of Living Storm Style.

You throw several punches at him, but he’s better prepared this time, and blocks or dodges all of your attacks, your assault having no effect. Not only is he getting stronger, he’s getting faster too.

Before he can counter, you cast your spell and glowing chains of magical energy appear around him, but he leaps forwards before they can fully appear, and they dissipate.

[AE 89/97; DE 189/192]

Then he’s upon you. He hits you several times, and despite your armour, and your sheer durability it still hurts. You feel ribs crack under his fists, and you are knocked backwards but manage to remain standing.

[HP 352/398]

Your healing abilities deal with some of the damage, but much slower than normal. Though the magic of this place can’t kill you, it is slowing your ability to heal.

Behind you, you feel Isla’s spell activate, but what it does you don’t know, something to protect herself and Jal and Isla you hope.

This thing you’re facing, it’s standing in this deadly crater that is inundated with death magic, and it doesn’t seem affected at all.

He grins at you and walks forwards, looking like he’s anticipating a fun time. You can detect evil magic from him now (demon; demon lord-equivalent power; wrath; ???; ???).

No idea from where you got "dicking around", when the plan was "punch him and then trap him with unbreakable holy chains". Thats not dicking around.

Let's get out of this well of negative energy first.

>>40151514
I think Storm Wind Stance is a free action, but there hasn't been confirmation either way; you'll need to pay for earthed lightning for each individual attack you want to apply it to; you may as well add SotS bonus attacks since we're already in it and they're fairly cheap.

We can full heal anytime, it doesn't really matter.

>>40151559

I know, do you see me saying we should use it several times? No? Guess why that is.
I want to know if he's immune to lightning first.

>>40151747
>That would be like assuming we could use FatSW+WSB+Smite
By RAW we could, actually.
It just says "increases damage", it doesn't say to how many attacks it applies.

>>40151698
Does Sireyi's shirt also explode before mysteriously reappearing immediately after the attack?

>>40151714
How does Smite bonus damage work with extra attacks from WSB/FatSW/SotS? Divine Energy for each attack? Or does it apply to all attacks that turn?

>>40151859
Damage bonuses to attacks from powers (Smite, Mystical Martial Arts etc) apply to a single attack only unless the power has a duration (i.e. entire round, rest of the combat etc).

>>40151881
But we could manulally apply Smite to each individual attack, as long as we pay the DE?

You rush to meeting him, the power of your magical style guiding your attacks. You strike him with blow after blow, your fists and arms a blur.

[AE 83/97]

You force him to take a step back, and you see his face it split and dark blood oozing from his cuts. He grins and steps forwards, then you unleash your final attack, enhanced by your storm powers and your divinity. Lightning and thunder crash around him, and he convulses as you hit him.

[AE 78/97; Deific Power -1]

He goes flying backwards and falls to the ground, unmoving. Is he dead?

Then he stands up and brushes himself off “Wonderful” he says, grinning, blood still staining his face.

He starts to walk towards you again “more” he says “give me more” As you watch the cuts on his face close and the blood fades away.

Oh great...it seems purely physical attacks aren’t going to win the day, given that he seems to be healing almost as fast as you can.

Your own injuries fade, but not as fast as they normally would.

[HP 363/398]

He breaks into a run, coming straight at you. At the same time, Islas spell links your mind to her, Jal and Sofia.

-Sireyi lets just leave- Suggests Isla –This is getting us nowhere-

-We can’t leave this demon running around- says Sofia

-In a land of the dead, yes we can- argues Isla

-Hit ‘im again!- suggests Jal –us three are safe in Isla’s spell-thingy, take ‘im down luv!-

Not wasting AE on SotS until we get him out of the crater and see if he keeps regenerating.

I'm not sure how you got that, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Each use of WSB without modifier to our base willpower modifier is 4 attacks (12/3), then SotS to each of those attacks for +8 unarmed attacks (12 total), then FatSW to use WSB again and apply SotS to each of it's attacks again. So 24 attacks.

40, sure.

>>40152140
44

>>40152171
>I'm not sure how you got that, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Whirling Storm Barrage: The Storm never stops blowing. By spending 3 arcane energy as a normal action you may take one unarmed attack per 3 points of willpower score you possess.

Score, not modifier.

Sireyi's Willpower score is 34. 34/3 = 11

Speed of the Storm and Fast as the Storm Wind can each be used once per round to gain extra attacks.

You can't multiply up extra attacks for balance reasons.

>>40152171
I assume you can't add SotS extra attacks to the extra attacks.

>>40152228
The rules should clarify that you can't use SotS on the extra attack from FatSW.

>>40152228
SotS says we get two additional unarmed attacks on our melee attack. Does that mean we could use SotS with a mele weapon, and then enhance the two unarmed attacks with Thunder and Lightning Strike/Endless Howling Winds?
Or can we only use one kind of melee attack (armed/unarmed) in each round?

This time you let him come to you, holding in place until he’s almost on you, then you leap forwards and smash your fists into him again and again.

Your living storm style grants you the speed to hit him over and over, but it is your paladin powers that will put him down.

Every time your fists connect you feel an explosion of divine magic. Battered by your attacks he staggers back...and falls once more. He lies there unmoving.

[AE 73/97; DE 120/192]

You pause and take a breath, wondering if he’s going to rise...

And he does! You sigh in frustration, why can nothing ever be as easy as it looks?

His face and body are wrecked – he is burned and bleeding from your assault, your smiting fists have battered and bruised him. You can even see a cracked rib poking through his flesh.

He chuckles, a wet, throaty sound, as his injuries slowly disappear. Yours do too.

[HP 374/398]

“The powers of the gods” he says in a musing tone “it’s been a while since I fought a divine champion, I’d forgotten what it was like, forgotten how to...adapt...to such power, but I recall now.”

Once again he starts a slow advance towards you, grinning that same anticipatory grin.

-Aaargh!- you hear Sofia’s frustrated voice in your head –This is a stalemate, is he going to get up every time you knock him down?-

>>40152553
>>40152574

>And having him immobilized would make it easier to kill him.
I see nothing suggesting that, its not like our problem is that we don't hit him.

>>40152553
>>40152574
We need to invest in improved critical or something

>>40152574
We could probably tell the metal to squeeze.

Alternatively, spend a load of Deific Power to overcharge an Angels Fire attack by like ten times our maximum Divine Energy and throw an angelic nuke at his face.

>>40152593
Between the base damage of 5th rank lanterns (10d6 + Willmod*4), the fact that we can summon fucking 16 of them, their rather high durability at that level *and* Purifying Burst further increasing their damage vs evil creatures, I think they'll keep him busy.

>>40152593
Angelic Lantern 5 would be 14 lantern each to (10d6+48)x1.5 damage.
So at least 1134 damage.

>>40152655
>the fact that we can summon fucking 16 of them
14, we have Willmod of +12 in normal form and its Basic 2 + Willmod. It would be 6 more if we go Soul of Light though.

Lightning Bolt does far more damage than Angels Fire. 5d6+(Will Modx2)+1d6 vs. 9d6+(Will Modx3)+2d6(+Intense Lightning)

Maybe taking him out of this pool of necromantic energy you’re both in will slow him down.

You reach deep inside you and call forth a storm, though a small one. Dark clouds gather overhead and rain starts to fall, small lightning flashes appear in the clouds overhead, getting bigger and bigger. You know this will draw the dead to you but right now, that’s much less of a concern.

You attack him again, throwing him back with your strikes rather than trying to kill him. After a half-dozen blows you have him out of the crater, far away from your wives.

[AE 40/97; DE 113/192]

As soon as he’s out of the crater, his injuries disappear completely, so do yours.

[HP full]

Damn, you were hoping that would slow him do-

You’re flying, why are you flying? What’s that noise: crack, crack, crack, crack...

You raise your head, everything hurts. You’re lying down on your back and when you look around you see a long row of splintered tree trunks, all in a row, a trail of destruction ripped through a somewhat dark-looking forest. And rushing up the trail is a large muscular man that, oh shi-.

A kick connects with your stomach and you’re flying through the air, only this time your wits aren’t scrambled.

The man just sent you flying through the forest again, and your path of flight wrecks even more trees. Damn he hits hard.

[HP 284/398]

He comes rushing after you again as you hit the ground, moving much faster than before. The two of you are deep in the forest surrounding the crater, and the clearing the crater is in, is nowhere in sight.

You scramble to your feet as he is almost on you. It seems you weren’t the only one whose powers were inhibited by the crater, out of it, he’s much faster and stronger than before. He must have knocked you through a dozen or more trees.

Still, your small storm is still overhead, you can’t have gone that far...

>You can detect evil magic from him now (demon; demon lord-equivalent power; wrath; ???; ???).

>>40152862
No specific reason, but up until now he hasn't been much of a threat to you.

Now Sireyi knows how much he can actually hurt her, she'll start using it, unless players request otherwise.

We should probably just enter Angelic Form. We're already throwing around a ton of divine powers and AF is good against demons in particular.

>>40152820
To be clear, are you trying to drag him along with us or hoping he follows immediately?

>>40152939
Probably. If he doesn't use our moving to the crater to run away, we should go Soul of Light>Full Heal>Full charge Lightning Bolt+Angelic Lantern Bursts for some 2k damage and see where it takes us.

>>40152950
I assume he will follow us. He is clearly battle crazy and has the Wrath desricption.
I think the inconvenience of him running away is far less than trying to grapple him.

>>40152950
>>40152975
Additionally, I don't bet on him actually going into the crater, he might try to attack us from outside it, but the plan doesn't really rely on him coming into it, if the damage from Angelic lantern + lightning bolt doesn't instantly vaporize him we better start praying to velya for backup anway. Because thats some major bullshit.

Theory: His domains are Wrath, Life, and Strength. He represents an inexhorable will to survive in a world that worships the concept of death and rebirth.

>>40153056
>He represents an inexhorable will to survive
Which is why he picks fights with everything he sees and doesn't back-off after we nearly killed him twice while he didn't even really scratch us. Yeah no.

>>40153056
Nah, he's just the remnant of those god killing invaders.

>>40153073
How would you see something that simply refused to die? It would continue to consume precious resources, living in a constant state of rebellion against the natural order of things.

>>40153103
>How would you see something that simply refused to die?
You mean like him?

You teleport back to the crater and call your lanterns to you. As you do so you burn more of your deific energies to make yourself stronger, more powerful.

[-3 Deific Power; Angels Lantern 5 bought, DE 76/192]

Your lanterns orbit around you, shedding bright light. You wait in the crater, and sure enough, Voken-Yanos soon shows up, running back along the trail of destruction he created.

You wait in the crater and he reaches the edge of it and....pauses, then starts to stalk around the edge of the crater, his eyes fixed on you, his grin slow fading.

He’s clearly unwilling to enter the crater, but he doesn’t seem to want to flee either. Neither of you are near your wives. They are outside the crater, within a dome of magical energy created by Isla’s spell. Currently he’s only focusing on you, but if he switches targets...

-Sireyi you’re ok!- You hear Sofia’s voice in your head

-I’m fine- you tell them all –I just need some way to beat this thug-

-It doesn’t match any description of a demon I know...- Isla says thoughtfully

-Mebbe Isla was right- suggests Jal –Mebbe its time ter go-

Your Lanterns swirl around you, awaiting your commands.

>>40153153
Seconding >>40153153 but don't burn a DP, we can fully regenerate HP and DE 1/hour due to SoL5, I'd rather use that. Also, >Mentally tell Isla to Teleport herself and our other wives away.

>>40153346
As much as possible without burning HP.

>>40153385
>Wasn't that only if we had the Lightning Node out? Whatever.
If we use the Lightning Node, there isn't really a reason not to use it, since we have it with us.

>>40153385
>Wasn't that only if we had the Lightning Node out?

I'm assuming you would use it, since you currently don't have a reason not to.

>>40153395
Yeah, but using the Node also restores all our DE and AE each turn we're in a storm, IIRC, which is why I was confused. Although I guess this place could be messing with that.

>>40153346
>>40153359
Ah changing to
>All De available
Which should be 308. Sorry.

>>40153426
It says replenishes, technically it doesn't say it completly restores them.
And it might do that, we have only been in a Storm this turn, since he kicked us out of our storm, somehow, the same turn we summoned it.

>>40153322
>181d6+54
A lot higher than that if we're firing at max, especially once you factor in Intense Lightning doubling the damage.

>>40153426
Looking at it again, I completly forgot our Node had a Time Dilation feature.
Its a shame we grew so fast in power that we had barely time to explore all the cool shit we actually have.

>>40153531
I forgot about our DE pool doubling in EotS, I thought it only doubles the AE pool.
The point of it being hilarious amounts of damage came still across I think.

>>40153368
Do we get to spend DP here? Or is that not really necessary anymore?

>>40153561
>Do we get to spend DP here? Or is that not really necessary anymore?

I haven't called a vote on it because a 20 wouldn't make a lot of difference, or did you mean for another use?

>>40153592
I remember it can be used to pierce magic protections and such?
We used it for that against Salvastis.

You transform into your fully angelic form: Your skin takes on the appearance of sculpted marble with veins of silver running through it; your eyes turn into golden orbs with silvery pupils and an intricate spiral pattern instead of an iris. Your wounds disappear and your powers are fully restored.

[Full HP, Full DE]

Above you the storm fills you with its power as you call upon it, ready to blast this demon with the power of your lightning.

At your mental command your lanterns target the monster with beams of light, as it raises its arms to protect its face you unleash the most powerful lightning bolt you can, blasting it with all of your power.

Everything you see turns white, and when you see again, there is a secondary, smaller crater at the side of the main one, and the trees around it are burning, of the demon, there is no sign, its dead. More than dead, it’s ash.

-Yeah, go my Angel!- You feel a voice in your head, that’s Jal. You know Jal...you...care for her in a way. But destroying the demon is more important.

You fly over to the small crater you have made, your lanterns swirling around you, you need to be sure it’s dead.

The crater is covered in burnt ash, no sign of the demon, and then you see a small mound, no bigger than a finger.

It starts to grow, ash flaking off and pouring down the side of it. It is a wet mass of flesh, growing rapidly. You can’t see any recognisable-

No wait, it grows an eye that blinks at you, then a nose. It’s the size of a head now. Is...is this demon able to recover from anything?

It seems your adversary is able to recover from even the most destructive power you wield, whilst outside the necromantic energy of the crater at least.

Maybe leaving it trapped in the metal would have been the better option.

Or maybe you can use your deific power to kill it.

What do you do?

>Keep blasting it with lightning
>Smite it
>Kill it with deific power
>Trap it in the metal again
>Leave
>Other (what?)

>>40153629
Very true, it can.

In fact, now might be a time to use it.

>>40153646
>Kill it with deific power

>>40153646
>Kill it with deific power

Obviously we're going to trap him again after all this effort. Fuck it. At worst it doesn't work and we have to blast him again, we can keep doing this exact same thing literally for hours until he develops the wisdom to stay dead.

>>40153561
>Its a shame we grew so fast in power that we had barely time to explore all the cool shit we actually have.
I'd like to explore the Node some more over the timeskip.

>I forgot about our DE pool doubling in EotS
Even before that, since we get 2d6 bonus die for every point of overcharge with Lightning Bolt.

>>40153646
>Kill it with deific power
Is this thing the fantasy equivalent of fucking majin buu or something? Die already!

>>40153646
>Kill it with deific power
I want to take that metal back as loot. Studying it could prove useful.

Also
>Put him back in the death crater.
That might help it stick.

>>40153700
I considered putting him into the crater first, but I bet you if we do that the necromantic powers reanimate him as some sort of super-zombie.

>>40153689
>I'd like to explore the Node some more over the timeskip.
All of them, really.
Just as I would like to start teaching the other Martial Arts to others. I bet Jal and Jianxi would love learning those. And they can teach them to our succubi, I want them to become a part of Oreian culture.

>>40153646
>Leave
Just kidding.
>Kill it with deific power
>ib4 that fully restores him

sorry but just so I'm clear, This thing is not a god and we won't be breaking that don't kill gods rule?

>>40153854
The rule only counts for those that signed that agreement. Which we can be pretty much absolutely sure he didn't, even if he were a god.

>>40153880
cool, thanks man.

>>40153854
It would have told us that in the description we got.

But I admit, I would hve a good laugh if it turned out this was Ilnost.

I suspect one of his powers is adaptation, given a few of his comments, so Lightning or Smite would probably just result in him eventually managing to adapt to it. You can't really adapt to Deific Power due to it essentially being reality warping.

I think I might know what this guy's deal is...

>>40153854
Well, all the gods on this plane are supposed to be dead in the first place.
And it attacked first with directly stated intention to kill. Therefore this is self-defense as if the compact was applicable in this situation, he would've broken it first.

>>40153907
>I suspect one of his powers is adaptation
What gave it away, the fact he literally said that?

>>40153907
Well, what's your theory then?

So, 50/50 chance Slagredeth shows up now to get the artifacts he couldn't get because of this guy?

>>40153926
He mentioned it, but sometimes people miss the details in the text.

>>40153931
That he's this setting's equivalent of a Reunited.

>>40153966
>That he's this setting's equivalent of a Reunited.
>implying its not the same setting

>>40153985
Possible.

Maybe he's a Reunited Shee fights in the future-past that she threw across space and time because fuck having to actually kill this guy.

>>40153966
I always assumed its the same setting. Or at least connected. There was a lot of stuff in PRQ about the Old Gods and the NotNeverborn that was reminiscient of the Lords of Life, and on the other hand we have that sideplot with the old gods that keep attacking planes in this quest now.



>>40154014
He does seem a lot like what I imagine Flexbros Avatar to be like.

>>40153985
Well, we do know for sure it's a multi-planar setting...

>>40153907
>I suspect one of his powers is adaptation
Fucking Infinite Mirrors, can he just leave us the fuck alone?

>>40154036
I guess PRQ might be the Spelljammer to PoJs Planescape.

>>40154033
Chronokinesis + Psychoportation + Impossibility = Aku.

I'm probably going to make that a thing.

You need to finish this, permanently. With the storm above you fuelling your energies, calling another lightning bolt is easy, but this time you imbue it with your own deific power and you keep channelling power into the growing lump of flesh until only ash remains.

[DP -5]

You wait to see if it can come back from that....but after several minutes nothing happens.

With one eye on the burnt ground, just in case, you head over to the house-sized lump of sky-blue metal.

To you it still feels like lightning somehow. You touch it and sparks fly between you and it. It feels familiar somehow.

You lose track of how long you simply stand there, touching it until insistent voices in your head call you back to yourself.

-Sireyi, Sireyi!- A voice *yells* in your head, is that...Sofia, you know her...

You realise where you are, and what you’re doing. You transform back into your mortal form and you see Isla, Sofia and Jal, stood at the edge of the crater, yelling at you, and their voices in your head, trying to get your attention.

“Sireyi!” yells Sofia “Are you awake yet?!”

“Yes, sorry” you call back “I got a bit distracted.”

You head over to them, the sky blue metal following you like one mass of liquid, moving at your command. You both exit the crater and approach your wives, they all hug you, examining you to make sure you’re uninjured.

“So it’s dead, yeah?” asks Jal, looking over at the second, smaller crater you made, as Sofia gives you an irritated look.

“I think so, yes” you say, as Isla lets go of you and examines the mass of metal, adjusting her glasses and biting her lower lip.

“What was that?” asks Sofia, following Jals gaze.

“Some sort of wrath demon” you say “but far stronger than normal, I’m not sure what it was really, just that it took a lot of killing.”

“I know what this is!” says Isla excitedly, tapping at the mass of sky-blue metal “This is Storm Silver!”

“Storm Silver?” you ask.

“Yes!” she says excitedly “like, Celestial Iron or Abyssal Brass – it’s a metal aspected to a plane, you normally only find it in the heart of the Plane of Storms, maybe one of the gods was a god of storms!”

[Storm Silver: Magical metal. Can be used to make much more powerful versions of magical items that use storm-related powers such as lightning, wind blasts, flight, weather control etc.

Using it to make appropriate magical items requires the ability to make magic items, and knowledge of 5 or more storm-related spells.

Sireyi cannot currently create Storm Silver. The lump she has weighs 1.25 million pounds. It would likely sell for a very high price.

Due to her powers Sireyi can make it move at a walking pace.]

“So we’re keeping it then” says Sofia, ever the practical one.

“’Ow much is it worth then?” Jal asks Isla

“Well I think-” she starts.

“Time to go” you say, as you see swarms of lesser undead starting to approach, from deep in the forest. You can see less than a hundred – no threat to you. But more will be coming.

What do you do?

>Head to Slagredeths lair (walk? Fly?)

Didn't we come here to see if he might not have overlooked some stuff from the battle and the scythe might still be here?

Also, does it just seem like that, or is SoLs mental influence getting stronger?

>>40154109
Seconding this

>>40154091

I highly doubt Pally would go "You would have needed to keep looking to find it!".

>>40154134
>Didn't we come here to see if he might not have overlooked some stuff from the battle and the scythe might still be here?

You did, but you also had a look before you found the chunk of metal with the demon in it.

Still, another, more thorough look makes sense too.

>>40154149
I don't think the scythe is here if we haven't found it after beating the boss encounter. But we might find other hints.
Or more boss encounters.

>>40154149
I doubt it too, but In-character we don't rely on narrative structure, so I think we should make sure.

Great rolls guys!

>>40154243
I was thinking in the direction of airships/airship upgrades and maybe pistol-sized lightning cannons.

>>40154295
We don't have anywhere near the manufacturing capabilities for that.

>>40154295
Seems like a waste to me.
We get a lot more value out of armour and weapons, than we would get out of the few airships we could build from this. Not to mention how much more expensive airships would be.

>>40154305
We could have an airship by next year, mate. It'd probably be cheaper, if anything, to make it out of metal we've already got. Lightning pistols probably just require a bunch of manufactories and maybe some node knowledge, which again, we can get by next year.

>>40154337
>We could have an airship by next year, mate.
How abou you actually read what building a airship actually costs and requires before making yourself look stupid?

>>40154337
It costs us 100k and takes 2xManufactories to build a airship, we could only do that if we would expend nearly all of Dalvins income and manufacturing on building that one airship.

Oreia couldn't do it at all.

>>40154390
So it's more like wait twenty years when Oreia has developed enough.

>>40154359
Assuming we have to get a Church of Yerra, about 272,000, which also gets us a Mages Guild and 500 Infantry. Well within what we can afford next year.

Don't make assumptions about what I have and haven't read, try reading it yourself or, I dunno, paying attention to the plans last thread.

>>40154390
Next year. Next. As in, when our income is slightly below 500,000? Then.

And we don't have the manufacturing capability for mass-producing weapons or powered armour, if you feel like arguing about doing it this year, and I, at least, am not willing to gimp our overall growth to get some weapons and armour one year earlier.

First things first, just because you can’t scry in this place without great difficulty, doesn’t mean others can’t. You cast a spell on yourself and each of your allies to prevent scrying and mindreading.

You then planeshift the mass of Storm Silver back to Oreia, leaving it under Kaela’s care.

Returning to the crater that’s now teaming with undead, you search it as best you can, in between creating storms of lightning to immolate the gathering undead that seem to be drawn here now in greater and greater numbers.

You keep the storm clouds overhead to keep fuelling your powers as you all search the place as best you can.

After an hour of searching you still haven’t found anything of interest or value, just old broken weapons and armour, and bodies, lots of bodies.

“This is hopeless” says Sofia, plastered in mud. You send another lightning storm into a mass of zombies, blasting them apart “I just want to be sure” you say in a conciliatory manner.

“Sof has a point love” says Jal, poking through the mud with a stick “we could be ere fer months an not check this whole place.”

“She’s right” says Isla, all three are covered in mud from searching, whilst you burn the advancing undead to a crisp, the rain falling all around you.

You’ve not searched a hundredth of the crater yet. At least you know now that within your Sanctuary, the effects of the death magic of this place are negated, the three searching by your side as you protect them.

You’ve tried scrying, but here it seems useless. Even the Elemental Node can only calm magic within a small area. Still, that offers some use, if you use that *and* scrying...you might be able to search the entire a crater with magic...in a few days on your own. IN the mean time your wives can get back to their own tasks, or stay with you.

>>40154428
I don't think it would take quite 20 years. In four or maybe even three years we could do it if we focus on building up the necessar infrastructure.

What do you do?

>Keep searching manually
>Use magic to search the place (3 days: with allies? alone?)
>Head to Slagredeths lair (walk? Fly?)
>Find another vampire lord (or other ruler) to ask about the Reapers Blade
>Other (what?)

>>40154431
>Next year. Next. As in, when our income is slightly below 500,000? Then.
You claimed we could HAVE a airship by next year, which would require us to build one THIS YEAR.
So your just retarded, got it.

>>40154453
>Head to Slagredeths lair (Fly)

>>40154431
I think you are slightly chronologically confused anon.
We only have a larger income for next years tax, not for this years. Which means we could start building a airship next year, but that would be finished in the following year. So we could not 'have' a airship by next year.

>>40154453
>Use magic to search the place (with allies)
No idea who to take though.
Also FUCK YEAH! PALADIN OF JOY QUEST!

>>40154431
>Assuming we have to get a Church of Yerra, about 272,000, which also gets us a Mages Guild and 500 Infantry.
You assume wrong. First we need a Stronghold, then we need a Church of Yerra, then we need a Mage Guild, and then we need to build 2 manufactories.
And then we can start building a airship.
50k(Stronghold)+10kChurch of Yerra+100k Mage Guild+2x10k Manufactories+100k Airship.
Going to a total of 280k, actually. Not including the price for the soldiers.

>>40154453
>Head to Slagredeths lair
>Fly

>>40154458
Okay, fine, the realm spending for next year. It's semantics, any kind of plan for what to do with it won't really be relevant until next year's realm spending due to our current gold limitations and the plan to get out from under them requiring virtually all of it.

>>40154554
I did include the price of the soldiers. I did not include the Stronghold because we need a Stronghold for virtually anything, so we'd almost certainly be getting one no matter what we do.

The Church of Yerra is only 2000 each for a Large Realm, not 10000.

>>40154593
>It's semantics
I find the difference between having something in one or in two years is more than semantics.

> any kind of plan for what to do with it won't really be relevant until next year's realm spending
Thats completly inaccurate, we could start making magical weapons and armor with it using Dalvins two manufactories. The tax plan only uses Oreias income, not the income of Dalvin, or the Azure Empires if we feel like sharing.

>>40154621
>we could start making magical weapons and armor with it using Dalvins two manufactories
I'm sure there will be no political ramifications of this.

>>40154593
>The Church of Yerra is only 2000 each for a Large Realm
Where do you get that from?
The upkeep is 2k, I see nowhere saying its cheaper for Larger Realms.

>>40154453
>Search around the spot covered by the Storm Silver again.
>Use magic to search the place (3 days: with allies? alone?)

>>40154665
>Where do you get that from?
Its actually 5k for the Church of Yerra, because Large Realms can buy smaller upgrades multiple times to stack them.

>Many upgrades function differently for Large and Small Realms. Generally Small Realms gain more benefit from a single upgrade, but Large Realms can stack multiple upgrades, and buy far more of various things.

>Argument between getting storm airships or storm armour/weapons
>1.25 million pounds of Storm Silver
>Actually arguing over this
The fuck. It's 1.25 million pounds, anons. This isn't really a thing where you need to choose between the two options like that.

>>40154665
You were both wrong, it's 5000.

>Church of Yerra: Your stronghold has a Church dedicated to Yerra and chapels and shrines to Yerra can be found throughout your realm.
>Small Realm: Allows you to recruit mages into your military (10,000/2,000).
>Large Realm: The first one allows you to recruit mages into your military. Subsequent ones, reduce the cost and upkeep of mages by 10% (to a minimum of 20%, 5,000/1,000).
>Large Realm: Cost 5000, Upkeep 1000

“Alright” you say “we’ll come back here if Slagredeth doesn’t have it.”

Gathering them up you all fly towards the Spine Mountains, landing in the foothills nearby.

“So how do we find the dragons lair?” asks Sofia.

“We search luv, we search” says Jal “C’mon, gotta be some caves around here somewhere.”
---
You search for the rest of the afternoon without success, then as darkness draws in you make camp, and build a small fire for warmth, concealed in a pit.

As you’re eating, Jal says to you “Luv there’s some folk what’re watching us.”

Sofia grabs her sword, and Isla her staff.

“I know” you say calmly, the four of you are sat outside your tent “They turned up whilst we were cooking dinner, I thought they were undead, but they’re just....watching.”

You haven’t got a good look at them, just vague shapes in the mist, but you think they’re alive.

A voice comes out of the darkness “We wish to speak to the one called *Sireyi*.” It speaks common with an exotic accent, sounding elven, but different somehow.

“This feels like a trap” complains Sofia.

What do you do?
>Talk at a distance
>Invite one in to talk

>>40154704
The argument was more what we do with it first.

Also, I'm not sure its as inexhaustible as you think. 1,25 milion isn't that much depending on how much metal actually goes into building that airship, those things are huge.

>>40154704
That all being said, I'm still waiting for Pallys oreian alternative to a Church of Yerra and what that would cost us.

>>40154802
Its a succubi-themed version of a shamans camp - with the same cost and upkeep, but some extra effects.

>>40154831
So it costs 100k like the shamans camp?

>>40154831
>but some extra effects.
Population boost?

>>40154862
I assume higher level item creation/spell available. Since our succubi are on average far more magic proficient than the orc shamans.

And population boost.

“One of you can approach” you call into the darkness “any more, and we’ll consider you hostile.”

One of the dark figures comes forth. It appears to be an elven man from the build, though he’s garbed from head-to-toes in grey-blue clothes. Only his upper face is uncovered and his skin....is a deep brown, almost black, a dark elf then. On your plane they are incredibly rare, hunted almost to extinction by their lighter cousins.

Thanks to your powers you can tell he has daggers hidden in sheaths on his forearms, and vials hanging at his waist – poisons perhaps.

He stops a respectful distance away from you, at the edge of the camp and bows “My Lord Slagredeth bids you greetings” he says formally “and asks that you meet with him, to discuss the purpose of your visit.”

You exchange looks with each of your wives, on their faces you can see written what you’re thinking: sounds like a trap, but if he wants to talk rather than fight...maybe its worth risking.

“What did he have in mind?” you ask.

“We would escort you to our city” says the elf respectfully “There great Slagredeth holds court and would speak to you in person – an honour offered to very few.”

How do you respond?
>Alright, lead on (who goes?)
>I have nothing to say to Slagredeth
>We talk some other way (how?)
>Ask questions (what?)
>Other (what?)

>>40154858
Yes

>>40154967
>We talk some other way (A tin can tied to another tin can)

>>40154967
>Alright, lead on
I don't want to leave anyone behind so if we vote not to take the others we should send them home.

>>40154751
I'm not saying it's inexhaustible, nothing is, but even if an airship is a million pounds (somewhat unlikely), we'd have enough left to make 2000 sets of Storm Silver powered armour, assuming it's ~125 lbs per set (it says 100+ on the charsheet, I know, but I'm guessing towards a significantly higher end).

>>40154967
If we accept, we should consider powering up our wives with Blessing of the Most High first.

I would need to know if purchasing an active angel ability would grant a pool of Divine Energy to someone that doesn't have one or if they'd have to cast from HP before I can recommend anything.

>>40154967
>Too many have tried too lure me into traps in my life, I don't wish to question the honor of Slagredeth, but he will understand if I won't enter his city.

Everyone

Elders Coven (succubi Mages Guild) added to realm pastebin

>>40155026
>but even if an airship is a million pounds (somewhat unlikely)
It depends on how much of the ship would actually be constructed from the storm metal.
If its completly metal, as unlikely as that might be, then it could very well take that much.

>>40155112
Could we get a estimate what a addition might cost that adds Angels(or transformed succubi) to the coven for celestial iron crafting? Or would that be seperate?

Seems to be a tie, so breaking in favour of going in (all of you)

>>40155153
Well, here is hoping Slag is our first evil being that isn't a complete retard and won't try to fight us.

>>40155153
Please answer the question:
>Does having an active ability (in this case angelic) which uses Divine Energy grant a pool of Divine Energy or would the ability have to be powered with Hit Points?

>Does having an active ability (in this case angelic) which uses Divine Energy grant a pool of Divine Energy or would the ability have to be powered with Hit Points?

Apologies for missing.

It would grant a (small) pool of Divine Energy

>>40155170
I think there is a decent chance he is actually grateful for his having vaporized that guy.

Or at least has enough good sense to not wish to be vaporized ina similar fashion.

>>40155180
What active abilities do you think about buying?

>>40155248
I'm contemplating getting Angels Fire for Jal as well as it's Seeking/Healing peripherals. It's a good offensive power that can also heal allies. I might decide to get Lightning Mastery instead, which would have the same question attached.

I'm also currently torn between Sof getting the Crown of Rulership (+10 to Authority-based Fellowship rolls, fitting for her) or Lightning Halo (Pretty much objectively better, grants +10 Willpower to spellcasting/spell-like abilities).

>>40155311
Wouldn't Sof and isla greatly benefit from getting Titans Endurance to void being killed in some massive area attack?

“Lead on” you say to the elf “we’ll all go.”

“Sireyi are you sure this is a good idea?” whispers Isla

“It’s an easy way to find him” you whisper back “and who knows, maybe he will do the smart thing.”

You break camp and follow the group of elves. They are ten in number and they lead you through the hills to a large opening in the mountainside. Ugh, tunnels and caves, you hate going underground.

“This way if it pleases you Lady Sireyi” says the elf, who gave his name as Durathril.

“Right” you say, you can’t see any traps or obvious ambushes, so it might just be safe to-

Durathril sprouts a small crossbow bolt in his throat and keels over quietly without a sound.

All around you a hail of bolts fills the sky, you spread your wings and shield your wives with them, even as you hear a voice yell out in elven “Don’t harm the Lady Sireyi or her allies, but kill the Wurmslaves!”

Your escort are under attack by another group of elves, perhaps twelve or so, and with almost half of your guides dead in the initial attack, this is going to be a one-sided battle, unless you intervene.

Sofia curses and draws her sword, Jal unsheathes her weapons and Isla prepares to cast a spell, but none of them are sure of which targets to attack.

What do you do?
>Side with your guides
>Side with the ambushers
>Defend yourselves but don’t take a side
>Flee, this isn’t your fight
>Other (what?)

Was that reunited guy a bonus boss to unlock the optional storm metal?

>>40155341
>Create a wall of force between the two and ask what's going on

>>40155341
>Defend yourselves but don’t take a side

>>40155333
Well these are hypothetically a small part of the angelic power purchases using Blessing of the Most High so that they can receive angelic and elemental powers at a massive discount. It helps that Sireyi can get angelic XP at a much better ratio than Divine XP and soak the cost easier.

>>40155341
>Create a wall of force seperating the ambushers from your guides, but otherwise just defend yourself

Would it be possible to get Electricity Immunity added to the list of things BotMH can grant without having to go through storm powers to get it?

“Stop this!” you yell, your voice booming over the battlefield. Neither side takes any notice however, and they keep shooting their small crossbows at each other, some of the ambushers head forwards with short blades in hand.

With a snarl of frustration you erect a wall of magical force between the two sides, separating them. One of the ambushers uses a dimension door spell to get past the wall, only to find Sofias sword at her throat.

“What is going on here?” you demand, your voice carrying across the battlefield.

They all start yelling at once: a confusing babble of voices.

“Quiet!” you yell “one at a time, you!” you point to one of the ambushes “why did you attack us?”

The appointed spokesperson looks around and then says “Slagredeth murdered our rulers and took over our cities, he is a tyrant and a usurper and a monster, death to the wurmslaves!” his compatriots all cheer.

They all start yelling again.

“Quiet!” you yell again and point to one of your escort “you, who are these people?”

“Rebels and traitors” he responds confidently “Trying to turn you against our rightful ruler, he will reward you handsomely for their capture My Lady.”

At this point the spokesperson for your attackers responds “They serve the Tyrant, Slagredeth, our seers say that you can free us from his oppression.”

Oh great, another rebellion that wants your help...

---

And that’s all for the main thread. Mini Paladin soon.

>>40155796
>Oh great, another rebellion that wants your help...
Does Sireyi have a calender in her office "Not overthrown any rulerships since X days"?

Sigh, why always rebels, this has gotten repetitive, Pally.

>>40155901
>Expecting a tyranny to not have a rebellion

>>40155901

Is this how Sireyi finally embraces her divinity and ascends? Too many people asking for her help with all this petty shit when certain doom is inching ever closer, and she just gets tired of it all and says "screw you guys, I'm going home"?

>>40155913
We didn't know it was a tyranny until now.
For all we knew he ruled over those elves since befor ethat god war.

You are Milerna Jalweyen, angel-blooded and born paladin of Konig. You are 8 years old, and are attending paladin training at a church of Konig school.

http://pastebin.com/RE8br4uf

You have returned to Paladin school after spending time with your grandfather, Konig. He has given you the power to see which of his followers are not living up to his ideals, and every night you pray to him to tell him what you’ve seen, and what they did.

A few weeks ago, one of the Instructors gave you and Thomas real blades to spar with, and you almost got hurt.

Since then you have looked at a lot of the grown-ups at your school, and you know that many of them fall short of several of your grandfathers ideals. Sometimes your prayers are very long.

Today is going to be different though. Your punishments have all finished, and Aunt Philly has given you and your friends permission to go into the town! For a whole afternoon!

You are walking through town with Chesi, Jenny, Thomas, Michael, Sera and Gilyan, all together as a group. It’s early afternoon.

“We should go to the circus!” says Thomas “They have elephants, and owlbears!”

“Lets go watch the executions” suggests Michael “They’ve caught a mass-murderer that cut people up and put them in pies and they’re hanging him today.”

Sera and Jenny glare at Michael, Gilyan looks like she wants to hit him.

“I think we should go shopping for some cloth that can be made into new clothes” suggests Sera “all of you have been growing too fast and need new clothes”. That’s true, you do have a lot of wrist showing past your sleeves.

Gilyan disagrees on the plan of action “I think we should visit the bookshops” she says “It will help us all with our studies, and I heard that there are some rare editions that have recently arrived.” Jenny nods in agreement but Thomas groans.

“Looks like we might be splitting the party” observes Chesi “With everyone wanting to part ways” She squeezes your hand “I’m happy with anything, where do you want to go?”

It seems Chesi will be following you wherever you go. But where do you want to go?

>To the Circus
>To the executions
>Clothes-shopping
>Book Stores
>Other (what?)

And also
>Everyone goes wherever they want
>Convince some of your friends to stick with you (who?)

>>40155931
That's still a tyranny.

>>40155796
Okay, so
Points for Slagredeth:
He actually asked to meet us, with a full escort and everything.
He has what we need, and might be willing to negotiate
They call him a tyrant, but he's unified the various Dark Elf kingdoms
The previous kings/queens/lords might not have been particularly good people
Cons:
He has a very evil-sounding name
He's a known coward (fled the battle that killed the other gods)
He's being called a tyrant, which might be true, and a Usurper, which is true, and a monster, which, let's face it, is probably true.
He's a giant ancient wurm and we would get sooooo much XP from killing his bitch ass.
We can still get the scythe if we cause the revolution.
Seriously, Sireyi historically has a hardon for deposing tyrants. It gets her hotter than Jal ever could.

>>40155960
>He's a known coward (fled the battle that killed the other gods)
Actually we only know he was left at the end of it, for all we know he only 'fled' after everyone else was dead.

>>40155957
>Clothes-shopping
>Everyone goes wherever they want but can we all try not to need rescuing?

>>40155957
>Book Stores
>Everyone goes wherever they want

>Clothes-shopping

>To the circus
>Everyone goes wherever they want

On the other hand, tight clothes are

>>40155959
How is ruling for a long time tyranny?

>>40155984
I dunno about that, maybe The god of death sent him away to protect him?

>>40156109
A tyranny is any government with an absolute ruler.

>>40155957
>To the Pet Store
Is it wrong that I want to get Chesi a coller and lead? If so please don't count this vote.

>>40156123
No, technically a tyranny is any goverment with a tyrant as ruler.

>>40156133
And a tyrant is an absolute ruler.

A tie on location and a...something about who is going with.

Writing Circus plus letting others go where they want - as long as its in groups/pairs - so no Michael wandering off.

Please roll 1d20 to convince them (or rather, him).

>>40156123
So, like Oreia?

Rolled 1 (1d20)

We plan on backing them right?

>>40156238
>Sireyis hard-on for overthrowing goverments is so strong she backs revolutions against herself

>>40156238
>We plan on backing them right?
Amusingly enough, since Sreyi didn't originally wanted to be queen of Oreia, she actually might back them if they seem sensible enough.

>>40156179
>Thats not technically accurate in the original sense of the term.
I don't know why you're using an ancient definition of the term, but it meant absolute ruler back then, too.

>not every absolute ruler is a tyrant
That's the definition of the word, so yes, they are. A tyrant is an absolute ruler is a tyrant. It's not a bad thing by itself.

>>40156200
I never said it was a bad thing, but there aren't many good tyrants.

>>40156264
okay, that made me chuckle.
>"But kids, did you know that Sireyi actually has, like, 7 children? I think?"

>>40156293
>but it meant absolute ruler back then, too
Not really, a tyrant had a term. A absolute ruler does not.

>That's the definition of the word
It isn't, it used to mean someone invested with full legal authority in emergencies for a certain amount of time, and later came to mean a opressive ruler.
A absolute ruler is not necessarily either of those.

>>40156264
>Only three wives
>chaste
I wouldn't go that far.

>>40156293
>That's the definition of the word, so yes, they are. A tyrant is an absolute ruler is a tyrant.
Either you use the original definition, in which it describes a very specific kind of political office and function, which we can heavily assume Slagredeth does not fulfill, or you use it in the modern usage, which the elves mean when they use it, and then it is very much a bad thing.

>>40156310
>Only seven
Now I wonder what is the succubus average.

>>40156354
There is always the other side if the coin. We should hear the "wurmslave"'s side of things before assuming shit.

“I think the Circus sounds fun” you say. “a chance to see owlbears and monsters up close could be really exciting!”

Sera just rolls her eyes at you “don’t come crying to me when your clothes split” she says “Jenny and I are going clothes shopping.” Jenny nods and follows her.

“Let’s go!” says Thomas, gesturing for you and Chesi to follow him.

“I don’t think anyone should go off alone!” you say, as Michael and Gilyan go their own ways “It could be dangerous in town with thieves and muggers, and...thieves.”

“I’ll be fine!” retorts Michael as he heads out “You’re missing the fun stuff.”

“I’ll see you all later” says Gilyan, as she leaves too.

Shaking your head in disappointment, you and Chesi follow Thomas to the Circus.
---
The Circus is just outside town and all the performers are outside their tents and wagons.

There’s acrobats; a strongman; an illusionist; performing animals; a tent promising owlbears and monsters in cages; another tent promising *the most strange peoples you have ever seen*; there’s games you can play to win prizes; there’s jugglers and clowns; a fortune-teller, and many other attractions.

Thomas and Chesi look around in excitement, trying to take in everything at once.

What do you want to look at first?

>Monsters
>Strange Peoples
>Games
>Fortune-teller
>Other attraction (write-in one)

>>40156369
Oreia has a population growth of 51%, with 95% succubi.
So actually just ~2children per succubus, or 4 per couple.

>>40156406
>Fortune-teller

>>40156406
>Monsters

>>40156354
The word has negative connotations. Connotations are not definitions.

>>40156324
Fine, it meant something different back then, I don't feel like arguing the irrelevant point.

That is disappointing.
On the other side, it's per year.
