Sorry, had to finish some work in eclipse before I could come back and join Eclipse.

>Ask her what's wrong
>Try to explain everything to her

giving it another few minutes then writing for both.

>>40648946
alright both it is. writing for
>Ask her what's wrong
first, because it might change what you do.

>>40648938

We know damn well what's wrong. She's a paladin and we're worshipping two dark gods at one.

>Detect evil anyone?

Ask her if the goddess is still with her.

>>40648761
>>Try to explain everything to her

Hold up your hands non-menacingly and say 'Jasmine, please... I know this looks bad, but it's still me, Avistus. When the bandits attacked, I couldn't stop worrying about both you and Ergon. Something happened to me, but it gave me the power to save Ergon! And it gave me the ability you rescue you. Ergon will be back in a few minutes. Please, Jasmine, when he gets back, let him and I explain everything.'

>>40648761
You freeze, staring at Jasmine. Why is she doing this? she knows you. "Jasmine, what's wrong?" you say quietly. Her eyes light up with a golden hue, and the grip on her spear tightens.
Ah, so that's it. Detect Evil. That lying, uncaring bitch is making her blessing read you as evil.
>Does this change what you do/say?

>>40649060
>ENHANCE INTO TIRADE!

>>40649060
Try to explain.
We'll se if she listens, but don't let her get away yet.

>>40649271

Well.

We begin down the long, difficult road of making Jasmine fall.

Hope the waifu is worth it guys, I get the feeling that the goddess is still alive and well in her, and this won't be easy.

Still, great roll anon.

>>40649321
>won't be easy
Of course not.
But it WILL be fun.

>>40649321
>Hope the waifu is worth it guys
Nah, lets have her a close friend, one of the bros.

>>40649424
My hope as well.

>>40649424
I actually wanted to ship her and ergon together.

>>40649424
She'll be our number one lieutenant.

>>40649462

Over Ergon "Gigadick" Demonclaw?

>>40649060
That lying bitch! Why does she keep trying to take your friends away from you! First she was willing to let Ergon die, and now she's trying to take Jasmine from you! You raise your hands, speaking slowly and calmly, but you can't stop the pleading tone from entering into your voice.

"Jasmine, please... I know this looks bad, but it's still me, Avistus. When the bandits attacked, I couldn't stop worrying about both you and Ergon. Something happened to me, but it gave me the power to save Ergon! And it gave me the ability you rescue you. Ergon will be back in a few minutes. Please, Jasmine, when he gets back, let him and I explain everything." Jasmine's eyes are full of indecision, for several seconds she simply stands there, her spear tip wavering, an unseen battle waging behind her eyes. Eventually, her spear sinks towards the ground, her stance growing more relaxed It's at this point that Ergon comes walking back into the clearing, leading the horse with Karin on it behind him, for a brief second he freezes as he sees the spear pointed at you, something flashing behind his eyes, then he seems to relax and approach's slowly.
>So, how the ever-loving FUCK are you going to explain all this shit to Jasmine.

>>40649490
Can we do it the same way we did with Ergon?

What happened to that anon who was writing up the bandits POV of the battle as players? I kinda want to see his version of the boss fight, that shit was funny.
>>40649547
fuck no, you really don't even no what the fuck you DID

>>40649490
>Explain that the Elders were a bunch of greedy cowards who had been lying to us and The Lady abandoned us when we discovered this truth.

>>40649490
>"I saw the true colors of our *spits on the floor* elders", then tell her what conspire during the attack with the boat and all. "All I have left is you and Ergon, I couldn't bare losing my close friends....."

>>40649490

Alright, delicate touch, boys. Delicate touch.

>Sit down, arms by your side. Drop any weapons you're currently holding.

>"I panicked for a second back there, when the drill instructor sent you and Ergon out to defend the novices. I wanted to go with you, I couldn't understand why the whitebeards would flee and leave one hundred children, and my two best friends, to their deaths. I didn't want to believe it, I thought that, maybe, they had some kind of plan. Maybe, there was something important at stake here."

>"Then I saw the river beneath our shrines, the wooden boat roped to a small dock. It was filled with GOLD, Jasmine. Gold and treasures the likes of which I'd never seen before. For all the vows of poverty taken...those old men had been hoarding precious metals like so many dragons in the tales I heard as a boy."

>"Please, try to understand. I was furious, Jasmine. I was livid. I cut the rope holding the boat to the mooring. I thought, that if these are truly the champions of the goddess, then she would protect them as she saw fit. They barreled down the raging river. I did not see what became of them."

>"The drill instructor, he turned his sword on me. And you know what he said? Not 'How dare you betray your teachers!' or 'Why would you wound your goddess so?'"

>"He said, "We could have lived in luxury the rest of our lives on that gold!"

>He really thought that I would let my two best friends suffer and die, just to live in the lavish company of the whitebeards. He really thought that the vows we swore mattered as little to me as they did to him."

>cont.

>>40649626
quick side note, this is a pretty d&d esque universe. monster, elves, etc. DO exist, granted dragons are way the fuck more rare than they are in d&d

>>40649626
Yep, just yep. Voting for this all of the times.

>>40649626

>"I struck him down, then. Beat him until the light left his eyes. But it was hard for me to believe, then, that any light had departed the man at all. He expected me to leave you, to leave Ergon. Like you were motes of dust in the eyes of our goddess."

>"When I returned to the yard I cut through two more bandits, I found Ergon bleeding out in the grass. The slash across his chest...it was mortal, Jasmine. I couldn't believe what was happening. I made to Lay on Hands, I called on the goddess for her mercy, that we may restore the order together."

>"And she was silent. She was willing to let him die. All for being courageous enough to fight for the lives of both the novices and himself. That sacrifice...is it not the holiest of all things? And she denied me the right to bring him back, that he may serve once more in her name."

>"But there were other voices. And they heard my pleas. They saw my friend broken before me, and they answered with nothing less than a thundering reply."

>"Our souls intertwined, somehow, as I made to bring him back. I don't know how...or why, even, the effects were so pronounced. But then I received Ergon's perception, his memories, and he received mine. We've seen the truth, Jasmine. We've seen it together."

>>40649571

>>40649490
>Write In, Story Time
So no shit there I was going down the temple's secret entrence, when low and behold, those cowardly old men were sitting in boats FILLED with trease like you've never seen, the things they told us they donated to the poor, horded for their own selfish gain.

I will not lie, I killed them, struck their boats mooring with my hammer and let the rever wash them away in it's rapids, along with their precious gold. You know what our instuctor said to me then? All he could think of was living it up like kings and how I was a fool for thowing away all of their loot. I crushed his skull on my shield.

Then I was racing back out of the temple, only to find ergon bleeding our in the temple square, bandit corpses all around. I tried to heal him with my magic by the goddess abandened me in my time of need. But other beings reached for me then, and I heard their voices, and with their strength I bond Ergon's soul to my own and raised him back to life.

The rest you know, Ergon told me the bandits stole you away so we raced here to free you.

>>40649723
Yeah sure.

>>40649740

Done.

>>40649490

Jasmine the elders had you and Ergon stay and fight the bandits right and they had me come with to help defend the elders?

It was a lie, it was all a lie. <get weepy> They had me follow them to a hidden passage, behind the lady's statue! It lead to an underground river and the elders were on a large boat, heaping with gold and silver. It was maddness! They wanted me to guard the passage so they could escape! After years of teaching us poverty and piety it was all a lie!
<overcome with emotion hug Jasmine and weep>

There was an accident, the rope slipped it's mooring and the elders and their dishonest riches broke free and were swept away. The [instructor] tried to blame me, and attacked me! I stunned him and escaped.

Then I found Ergon bloodied and dying. I don't know who I prayed to but it wasn't the lady who answered. She abandoned us in our time of need. She abandoned you and let bandits take you from us.

It was only with the aid of the ones who answered my prayers was I able to save you and Ergon.

Come with us back to the [monastary?] I'll prove everything to you.

>>40649733
shoggy pls go update guardsmen.

hamburgers.

>>40649775
Not Shoggy Anon, but I was actually thinking of Guardsmen when I wrote that, thanks for noticing!

>>40649782
so, I've been thinking guys. Instead of lowering the DC in the case of awesome write-ins, would you rather I extended the number of dice I counted?

>>40649756
Great write in Anon, don't agree with lying to her though.

>>40649849
Nonono keep it lowered.

>>40649849
only if you don't count crits

>>40649849
whynotboth.jpg

>>40649849
Naa just leave it be.

>>40649849

Your discretion, I'm fine with either but I don't think we should retroactively change policies just because we get a few bomb rolls, you know?

>>40649849
depends, how far would you extend it, how much do you lower DCs usually?

>>40649849
Nah, it's fine as it is for now.

>>40649849
no, i get the feeling that the dice would just either go either really high or really low either way. making it more likely to just screw us over.

>>40649849
i guess extend dice if the write in's are really good?

>>40649861
Thanks for the support! feel free to pick what you like out of it to use. not exactly lying not exactly the truth. thats what NE is all about!

>>40649880
huh? oh no you passed the DC either way.
>>40649891
I'd extend it out to five, and the amount I lower it depends on the write-ins, in this case I lowere it from a DC 90 to a DC 70

>>40649849
your choice. You could try them both out and decide which one you like better.

>>40649917
I like this solution as the GM can find out how well each option works for the difficulty he desires.

>>40649793
so yeah, thanks to the write-ins this passes the lowered DC, without the write-in it would've been a DC 90.
writing

>>40649849
I think that, it's always good to declare these things before we roll, so there's no metagaming going on.

On that note, if you could find a way to make both of those systems work when involing writins, or give us the option to choose either or when rolling, I'd be happy with that OP.

>>40649915
oh, well in that case, in the example and only this example of when we have great writins, I'd be fine doing both of those, it doesn't seem too broken since we're making a very compelling argument.

But of course the decision on that ultimately rests with you Eclipse, I'm happy either way.

Would a mathematical analysis of the probabilities of the two options help your decision?

>>40649915
>>40649951

All good then. I'll go with whatever everyone else wants to do?

>>40649490
Okay, how do you do this. Well... might as well just tell her everything really. You go to start talking, and find it's actually a good deal harder than you thought it would be, for some time you simply can't get the words to form, eventually you manage to begin. "Jasmine, do remember in the cathedral? How the elders told you two to go help with the defense, and told me to stay behind?" Jasmine nods her head slowly, her eyes still filled with indecision, you continue, "They wanted me to... to help them escape." Jasmines eyes flash, and she grips the shaft of her boar spear, raising it from the ground and pointing it towards you again, ergon tenses again,his hand flexing as though from a muscle twitch, you hurriedly continue "I panicked for a second back there, when the drill instructor sent you and Ergon out to defend the novices. I wanted to go with you, I couldn't understand why the whitebeards would flee and leave one hundred children, and my two best friends, to their deaths. I didn't want to believe it, I thought that, maybe, they had some kind of plan. Maybe, there was something important at stake here. Then I saw the river beneath our shrines, the wooden boat roped to a small dock. It was filled with GOLD, Jasmine. Gold and treasures the likes of which I'd never seen before. For all the vows of poverty taken...those old men had been hoarding precious metals like so many dragons in the tales I heard as a boy." Jasmine takes a step back, looking as if you'd slapped her, "Please, try to understand. I was furious, Jasmine. I was livid. I cut the rope holding the boat to the mooring. I thought, that if these are truly the champions of the goddess, then she would protect them as she saw fit. They barreled down the raging river. I did not see what became of them. The drill instructor, he turned his sword on me. And you know what he said? Not 'How dare you betray your teachers!' or 'Why would you wound your goddess so?'"

>>40650199
"He said, "We could have lived in luxury the rest of our lives on that gold!" Jasmine's jaw works furiously looking as though she wants to argue with, but can't. You continue

"He really thought that I would let my two best friends suffer and die, just to live in the lavish company of the whitebeards. He really thought that the vows we swore mattered as little to me as they did to him. I struck him down, then. Beat him until the light left his eyes. But it was hard for me to believe, then, that any light had departed the man at all. He expected me to leave you, to leave Ergon. Like you were motes of dust in the eyes of our goddess." The confusion in Jasmine's eyes grow more pronounced, her spear-blade sinking towards the earth again,

"When I returned to the yard I cut through two more bandits, I found Ergon bleeding out in the grass. The slash across his chest...it was mortal, Jasmine. I couldn't believe what was happening. I went to use Lay on Hands, I called on the goddess for her mercy, that we may restore the order together. And she was silent. She was willing to let him die. All for being courageous enough to fight for the lives of both the novices and himself. That sacrifice...is it not the holiest of all things? And she denied me the right to bring him back, that he may serve once more in her name." Jasmine's spear slips out of her hands, falling to the grass with a dull clatter,

"But there were other voices. And they heard my pleas. They saw my friend broken before me, and they answered with nothing less than a thundering reply. Our souls intertwined, somehow, as I made to bring him back. I don't know how...or why, even, the effects were so pronounced. But then I received Ergon's perception, his memories, and he received mine. We've seen the truth, Jasmine. We've seen it together." Jasmine looks so lost, confused, helpless, she sinks to her knees in the grass, staring into the air

Jasmine POV

No...no. That can't be true...it can't...she wouldn't lie...but neither would Avi, or Ergon, not to me they wouldn't...he's so mad, so angry...it's in his voice...but, he feels so betrayed too...he wouldn't feel like that...not unless it really was true...but the spell...it read him as evil...

"She lies." a voice like silk seems to emerge from the darkness around you, worming it's way into your ear. "She lied to him, and now she's lying to you, she want's him dead, and who better to do it than you? You can see it can't you? she's twisting the spell, this is them, Avi, Ergon, your friends, the only ones who ever cared, all that money, the elders could have used it to fix your voice, but they never cared did they? Avi and Ergon were the only two who ever cared, to everyone else you were always just the poor little mute girl." Yes... that's right. They were always the only ones who would treat you as a friend, an equal, everybody else just ignored you, how could he be lying he wouldn't be lying, he just wouldn't.

"You see?" whispers the voice, it's silken tones coming from everywhere and nowhere at once "She's abandoned you all, she knows you won't fall for her tricks, and now she's left you. reach out to her, see for yourself." You can't help it, you have to know, you reach out, waiting to feel the lady's golden light envelope you...There is nothing. a void. emptiness.

"See? She's left you, just like she left your friends, but there are others, oh yes there are others, they helped your friend save Ergon, and they can help you, you always were pushing yourself, never wanting to be the weak one, always wanting to be useful. They can help you you know, all you have to do is listen." You can hear them, in the blackness around you, voices, promising power.

I think it would've given a little more variance to the party if Jasmine didn't go full evil, but full evil is fine too.

Uh, do we have to roll like a Charisma save for not causing Karin to run away shitting his pants? He's now around a full-blown Blackguard that just collapsed the skull of a part-ogre, a Fallen Paladin with a demon hand, and now a freshly fallen spearmaiden whose silence is beginning to get uncomfortable.

I mean, if I was at all aligned on the good side of things, I'd be long gone. On that horse.

The kid has more of a neutral feel to him from the whole not freaking out going through the village of the dead. He just saw a fuckton of death and this bandits are the ones that caused it. And besides, who does he have to run to?

Remember Karin was there for that shit, he still doesn't really completely understand what's going on, that being said, kid seem to have an iron stomach. he didn't even throw up when you were walking through the ruined remains of your home town.

I suddenly love the idea of whatever god she picks giving her a new voice in the form of a fucking banshee wail.

>>40650853

Goddess has to be livid. We just turned every (I think) survivor of that raid very firmly against her.

>>40650866

Oh my god. Yes. The tone of the voice depends on which god she selects as a patron. Loud, booming and crazed if the picks the flaming whip, cold and detached if she picks the goddess of death, etc.

>>40650546
>>NO! FOR SOME REASON!
She has no reason, she will accept it after holding out till her mind clears of her womanly emotions.

>>40650546
You... you shouldn't, there must be some explanation for this... then again, to be useful to your friends...the temptation is to strong, you listen, straining your ears.

The first voice is the sound of boulders crumbling into into nothing, mountains slowly eroding back into the earth, plants withering and dying, an old man, struck deaf and blind and dumb, the voice talks to you promising you power, all you have to do is ask for it.

The second voice is like feathered pillows sinking into a luxuriant bed, the voice of coins clinking together, the cries of a lover, reaching their peak, the voice whispers to you, low and slow, why should you wait to get what you want? Why should you not simply take it, you're trapped here in this mortal body, you may as well enjoy your time.

The third Is a voice of clanging chains and turning keys, offering you the might of conquest, of enslavement and the power to rule.

CHOOOOSE YOUR PATRON!

For those of you wondering, the bonus is as follows
+10 for being a paladin, and used to handling the energies of a god
+5 because both goddess's were the same gender as Jasmine
+5 because Pola and Lilerin actually kinda like each other
Joe mc'average the dirt farmer would not have survived this.
>>40651474
90! DC passed!

>>40651587
so she became the life of the party blackguard?
sweet

>>40651587

So we:

1) Defied the dice gods and got to start with two patron deities
2) Critted Ergon's revival, giving him a demon hand and some sort of limited telepathy
3) Rolled Jasmine's fall so hard she got to be a protege of both decay and beauty simultaneously.

Safe to say we're fucking killing it, boys.

The voices whirl around you, sending images into your mind, they all sound so persuasive, you cannot choose, eventually, you pick out on image among the rest, a figure in the midst of a battlefield, spinning a spear over their head in great whirling sweeps, wherever the spear pass's, the figure enemy's crumble, falling into dust an blowing away, yes. this is the power you need.

And then, a second image comes, unbidden, to your view, slinking it's way in and filling your mind, you did not call for this image, you're sure of it... did you? The image is shrouded in shadow, the details scarce, all the you can make out are three figures, two men, one with black hair, the other sandy-blond, and laying bewtween them, a woman with black short-cropped hair. You did not call for this image, your sure of it, but now it won't leave your mind, taking the two images, you weave them together "My my, what is it with you people and overachieving, I just knew I picked the right one to find me" the voice like silk whispers in the dark, there's a flash of light, and you are thrown from the darkened world, back into reality.

>>40651876

Be sure to pick up Jasmine if that isn't already implied.

>>40651904
Oh, yeah I probably should have listed this as an option, along with the one that got cut off
>just dispose of the corpses and make camp here, you drained and jasmine's unconscious

>>40651876

We just cleaned out this encampment of all its former residents.

I say we make camp here. If I'm not mistaken, the sun is either setting or down already. Does our PC, or his companions, have a general sense of direction around here? Like do they know beyond a shadow of a doubt that west leads to a major city, or east leads to the coast, anything like that?

Also, we need to

>Pray to our new gods

>>40651876
>just dispose of the corpses and make camp here, you drained and jasmine's unconscious

You could use whatever these bandits had. Food, drink, money. Loot, rest, and then Pray.

>>40651876
Nearest town is a smoldering ruin, let her rest in the bandit tents while we loot everything of value, torch the corpses, and when she wakes, make our way back to the temple. It shall be our base of operations from now on.

>>40651876
>Make for the nearest living town, it's only a day or two away
First loot the bandits and take any clothes not messed up so we can disguise ourselves as anything other than former paladins. All the weapons, not to mention the bandits other loot and possessions, should float us three until we figure out what to do.

>>40651876
>Other
Make camp at the bandits encampment, have Ergon take care of Jasmine while you meditate/pray to your new gods.

>>40651955

I gotta be honest, I think this is a terrible idea. There's a reason why vampires don't have slumber parties in churches, and I feel like shenanigans are gonna swarm us like flies if we try to turn the temple of our former patron goddess into a base.

Plus, if it was defensible, that party of bandits wouldn't have been able to decimate it so easily, yeah?

Let's aim higher. Get our bearings in the morning, and try to start sketching out a general gameplan for our ascent to power.

I already know what my personal goal is -

Kill the goddess who forsake us. Reshape her domain in our image. Ascend and profit.

>>40651876
>>just dispose of the corpses and make camp here, you drained and jasmine's unconscious

we also need to collect the gold from the elders for ... reasons.

>>40651998
The place was basically three main building set in a \_/ shape with nothing that could really be called a wall. this place is kinda in the middle of nowhere.

>>40651998
>There's a reason why vampires don't have slumber parties in churches
I don't really understand you.

Well everyone was basically an initiate besides us and our two friends, the elders and instructor fled without trying to defend, i feel its more their fault for the poor defenses of the temple than the temple being a poor position for defense. Plus we should corrupt the temple to please our gods! And there lots of food with an underground water source. Oh and gold left there.

>>40651955
Yeah lets stay were you found out everything was a lie and hundreds of innocent kids died the same day

>>40652068
Oh well that changes things. I still want to make use of the corpses and raise them as our servants. We probably won't get a chance for all these fresh corpses again......

>>40652088

This.

Well, sarcastically this.

Let's not go back there for good, and let's not go back there tonight. Get Jasmine in the tent, let her recuperate. Then check out what the fuck is going on with Ergon's hand. Then make sure Karin hasn't fallen into a state of abject shock and horror.

I personally vote we don't go back to the temple proper anything soon simply because of the fucking mental trauma. Maybe go to the river itself, but not too the 100 rotting corpses of your previous associates in the halls of a goddess that abandoned us. We aren't ultra-jaded yet.

be back in few minutes, feel free to discuss any future plans

No, tomorrow we need to either burn or bury the bodies. We should feel somewhat obligated to do this.

Yes, I know we are a blackguard, but we have just fallen from being a paladin this would be a normal course of action.

>>40652147
Huh. Now I wonder if the temple is made of wood. If it is, let's just torch the whole thing. Give the poor initiates a 'proper' burial and spit in the face of our old deity in one go.

>>40652147
Nah, we have to treat the bodies.
Through a ritual of some sort.
Maybe even recycle them.

Ogre-face Mc-Bumfuck would make a great zombie.

>>40652121
>>40652068
Eh I'd like to go back, perform the ritual of undeath to raise the bandit corpses, and use them to start burying our fallen brothers.

It dosn't feel right to leave them out in the open like that.

After we can clean up and loot anything else around we can sell for some gold, and follow the river to look for the temples lost gold (if we can even find any of it) then formulate a plan with Ergon and Jasmine on what to do next. That's my plan at least.

I figure we're going to make this temple as our new base for our growing blackguard order, and we decide to form or join an adventuring group to find ancient artifacts and gain the capitor to start it up.

I suppose my plans for a zombie army scourging the lands for more bandits to add to our numbers are slim, so in order to speed things along I'll vote for resting here, then breaking camp for the nearest town not burnt to cinders.

>>40652147
This is also acceptable. I hate the smell of rotting flesh in summer heat.

>>40652180
well, I mean when you get to some higher levels.
>>40652170
yeah, it's mostly wood.

>>40652180

I thought QM said that at our current level any undead thralls we make will not last terribly long. I could be completely wrong about this.

>>40652174

He would. We should check on the possibility of this.

Mostly I just want to figure out what Ergon can do with his new hand. And then start sketching together a rough outline of what we need to start making a splash in local politics. Where would we want an IDEAL (read: future) base of operations and why? How would we go about acquiring such a thing? Are there any destinations of import near by that we can exploit? Any powerful items to go dungeon crawling for?

So far we've decided for:
Raising undead.
Burying the dead.
Just leave the dam place.
Loot then leave.
And some combination for the above?

I'm for raising the bandits for to help with burying the dead, then make the bandits dig their own grave!

>>40652236
We gotta start somewhere.

>>40652236
Yeah zombies made with the blessing of krona ritual won't last longer than 5 days at the most. it depends on a few things. I could've sworn I put that somewhere

>>40652264
Did we talk to other initiatives or know them that much and was the temple secluded?

>>40652264

Five days is longer than we need, actually.

Raise the bandits, have them bury the initiates at the temple. Then burn the temple. It's a nice mid-point between "fuck that place we need a clean start" and "honoring those who did nothing wrong to us". After that busy-work is done, we'll probably need to look to QM and figure out what interesting shit is in traveling distance to our location.

And. ERGON'S HAND.

>>40652264
I think that's the first time I've heard they last for 5 days. What happens later? They turn to ash?

>>40652260
you forgot to then look for the gold loot from the temple. We need a bankroll to get us started on blackguard merchant quest.

Blackguard merchant quest the only quest where our prices are to die for!... Literally

>>40652312
Thought I had that under loot and leave but I guess more details would've been more clear, sorry bout that.

>>40652304
pretty much yeah, the bodies can't contain the necromatic energy anymore and it eats them up, they literally collapse into thin air
Keep in mind this is quite literally the weakest necromancy spell that exists

So
>See what we can retrieve from the river
>Give the initiates some funeral service
Since it's confirmed the temple is made of wood, I vote pyre.

>>40652366
you planned for Blackguard Merchant quest? Very Impressive.

>>40652299
Yeah I agree with this, maybe go find a gold and actually take it or trade it for food to the poor who were suppose to get them at the first place. Probably kill some scum or tyrants on our way.
First quest or if you want to count saving Jasmine as one

>>40652393
We can have some of the bandit zombies dredge the underground river for us instead of risking ourselves. If anything goes wrong they sleep with the fishies not us.

Alright it's lookin like
>loot the bandits
>rest here first
>use the blessing of krona to raise the bandits and bury the initiates
>burn down the cathedral
>Ask me what there is nearby that you can do.

>>40652421

Too much paladin, not enough Blackguard. Honestly, I think we should just take what we need from the gold and use it to get some useful shit and lodgings once we make it to a major city.

Avarice destroyed our former order - we aren't going to just kill the whitebeards and then occupy ourselves with shiny baubles. We have a world to enslave.

>>40652466
Don't forget to meditate/prayer to our gods
>>40652471

>>40652466
Anyone mind if I just write this as a timeskip?

I tried some writing but it all came out terrible.
I was thinking Ergon comes out of the tent to speak with Avitis while hes busy digging a ditch to bury the dead, they talk and one of the gods offer them some undead assistance.

>>40652596
Go right ahead, unless Jasmine's going to wake up and grace us with a new voice.

>>40652549

Mr. Wiggles will be the harbinger of the apocalypse.

Watch, we spend thread after thread dumping magical power into this cat, and he winds up becoming the BBEG to end all BBEG's as we have to stop him from turning the entire world into a can of tuna so we still have slaves to rule.

"WIGGLES. YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE."

>>40652596
So long as we hold off on burning down the cathedral, I want us to give pause and make small decision as to if its right or not. I'm fine with everything else on that list.

He is whoever is living inside of our swaggin' af ring. He's creepy, but if that dude is at all responsible for the ridiculous rolls we've been getting, we're going to have to build him a statue.

Made of the skulls of our enemies, of course.

>>40652709
You guys haven't investigated any further. I would like to point out that the silver-skinned lizard thing with purple eyes spoke with the same silken voice that you and jasmine heard when you fell. keep in mind that nobody's ever reeally heard of a blackguard before, yeah the evil gods have cults clerics etc, but for some reason blackguards have never been a thing. much less ones that could channel the divinity of multiple gods.

>>40652760

Anyone else think that first two orders of business, investigation-wise, ought to be snakeman and Ergon's hand?

I mean, I'm still trying to figure out what the hell we did to our bro. He seems fine with it, but beyond that hand requiring a glove in any populated area, I'm not sure what function it serves.

He got it on a crit resurrection so it can't be that bad, right?

>>40652805
Doable while we wander in the general direction of civilization! We've had a long fucking day already.

Well, you're certainly not going anywhere tonight, Jasmine's unconscious and you're tired as hell. "Ergon, what do say we just rest here for the night" "Sure, i'll get my tent set up and put Jasmine in there, I'll just go ahead and share the Big guy's tent with shrimpy here, need to make sure you don't eat him after all." Ergon moves off to make himself busy, once all of the tents are set up, Ergon goes off to sleep immediately, Karin following shortly after, you've cleaned your blades of blood and retrieved your shield and gear, for some strange reason you can't get to sleep, you feel restless.

This first
Hit on him/her till we know what lizzy the lizard's gender is. Should throw him/her off for the follow up question. Does this ring prevent me from hear the goddess?

>>40653404

"If you can't explain to me what you are in the next 10 seconds, I'm melting this fucking ring in the fire."

"No i'm not your godsdamn spirit animal, those aren't even a real thing, unless you were referring to your familiar, but the answer is still no. Interesting fellow by the way, I do hope you learn to summon him soon.

>>40653564

>>40653572
pretty much

>>40653572
"AHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! I KNEW there was reason I liked you my friend! Still, the Lady IS one of the older gods, I suggest you maybe put that one off until you grow a quite a bit stronger."

>>40653564
Nope, so I'm assuming that you need something from me?

>>40653624
"aaaah your friend, yes I do, quite the interesting topic too, such a thing hasn't happened since the age of legends, of course you would probably call that the age of tyranny, if that's even mentioned in your history books anymore"

>>40653594
Ooc question, how to we level up / gain xp, as we didn't seem to get any from casting our spells or killing those bandits
Ic question, what is she the deity of exactly?

>>40653681
You gained XP from killing those bandits, you're a little over half-way to leveling, I just don't tell you the numbers
>>40653681
You would know that the lady is the goddess of light and storms.

Eyes narrow ever so suspiciously while fingering and playing with the ring on our other finger ever so slightly....

"What he is? Why my friend, he is a Revenant, he is dead but not dead, alive but not alive, his body has certainly changed, yes, but of course I can't tell you EVERYTHING about what he'll probably be like now, you are so dreadfully FUN though, so I think I will tell you SOMETHING, so here it is, you can probably trust your friend more than you would your own parents now."

>>40653803
You can't really trust anyone more than the dead.

>>40650889
Well, maybe she could have done some fucking thing about it.

Any questions left unanswered, I will find a way to pry from your jaws in time. We are three, mayhaps four, camped in the woods at the edge of a massacre. You haven't chosen this place at random, what's nearby that is of such use to you?"

Well, not very hard.

>>40653897
"Chosen this place? I haven't chosen anything, all your choices so far have been your own, I was simply waiting until I had a quiet place to talk to you in, I can't control your will, no matter what your old religion may have told you about demons and devils and their ilk."

>>40652805
I think that what we did to Ergon affected him more than just physically.

> You're a Lizard now, 'Arry!

Remember, dude is now not only undead, but part-lizard. Cold blooded and Cold hearted, and somewhat soulbound to us. Maybe if we die, we take over his body like it's a phylactry?

>>40653207

Ask the dude what the fuck happened to our friends. Followed by who is he, what does he want, and if he's a force for evil it's kind of strange that he's so concerned about a little kid.

So, I realized this quest's theme.

I get a nat 100 for a Headbut for the blood god, and a nat 20 to get some sweet info from the silver semon demon.

Life is good gents.

Does this mean snek tits?

Rolled 15 (1d20)

>>40653957
Third roll cause why not.

>>40653993

Forgive me if I'm not willing to use him as a phylactry just yet. The potential for his condition is seemingly endless - we can share experiences, emotions, and sensations between each other in real time regardless of distance.

If you don't see the value of telepathically linked generals of an army, then, son, I don't know how to help you. You're going to faggot heaven.

>>40653981
Just pull a "you succeed so hard you fuck up" and give the MC a direct link to what it feels like to be the Snake god. Let us ssssee through his eyes his past and how he was shaped.

Also, have it hurt like a bitch and be confusing more than anything, with as much vague foreshadowing as possible.

Maybe give us a boon from him? A one time spell to use, or defense, or get him to introduce us to our Familiar?

>>40654023
Again, there hasn't been confimation as to wether mages have a message spell, in which case, we'd just be on equal ground.

Granted, the guy you have to take down (on both sides) happens to be the biggest, baddest dude there.

>>40653993
The scales are just part of being a revenant, for the last time Ergon is not turning into a lizardman
>>40653995
FUCK YES! VOLTAIRE IS THE FUCKIN KING! HIGHFIVES!

I'd never use our bro as a phylactry, not when we've gone so far to save his life.

>>40654050
For the record, your clone here.
I love Overlord, and Voltaire right there was me.
This is seriously freaking me out.

>>40654050

Eh. Dealing with a mysterious semi-corporeal character that taunts knowledge in the face of its vassals and gets nat 20'd.

Eclipse, you can take all the time in the world. I sure as fuck don't know how I would handle it.

>Maybe give the roller the secret to faster-than-light travel in a low-magic medieval setting.

>>40654023
Dude, I was the guy posting in 1.5 about how goddamn useful that's going to be.

But we only use him as a phylactery if we die, and if we can't make other ones. At that point, how good of a General he would make is pretty pointless.

I also have no idea why you wouldn't think that we wouldn't make other ones, I can only attribute that to a natural inclination to be more focused on cocks than getting shit done.

Due to Jasmines' gods...

But... What about near death experiences?
Is that us going down the birth canal then getting sucked right back in?

>>40654050
Voltaire is awesome. This is a nice complimentary piece for the evulz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs

>>40654083

Then ThatFaggot is a tactical genius on par with people such as his pedo uncle, his autist uncle, and his brony uncle

Nah, you did good boy.

>>40654092
And industrial grade solvents.
For some reason.

>>40654050
I would settle for him promising to answer just one question, in all honesty and completeness, whenever we choose to ask it?

We ask "Now, or later some time?" and he says "Any time, and that was it."

>>40654093
*shrug* That might be why people have a miscarrige

>>40653957
"Weeeeeell I'm in a bit of a talkative mood tonight, makes sense I suppose, I haven't had anybody to talk to in... well it's been a very long time. So I guess I'll give you a choice, I'll either tell you something about your revenant friend, show you a glimpse of somebody you're destined to cross paths with in the future, or introduce you to your familier now and get you started on the road to summoning him. So what'll it be?

>Information about Ergon
>A glimpse of your future
>Being introduced to your familiar.

>>40654134
Except that a miscarriage is rarely ever midbirth.

>>40654138
>>Information about Ergon
Gotta focus on our bro!

>>40654138
>Being introduced to your familiar.

I feel like the other two will be things we can find out sooish/ familliar will be a better choice.

>>40654048
Having a message spell and having a telepathic link are two different things. No chanting time, possible resistance to anti-magic effects, he's not able to be bribed to share the results of the message or to change it or send false messages, no mana cost, able to share memories as well as real time messages (maybe).

We actually don't know if we're telepathic or not with him either, mind.

>>40654138

>Ergon

He will more than adequately fill the role of familiar until we reach that point. I want to know what the fuck - and how the fuck - we managed to create a new race out of homeboy's mangled body.

>>40654138
>Being introduced to your familiar.
Seems the most useful.
Ergon we'll figure out
The future is set
But getting our familiar can be a huge boost.

>>40654151
who knows.

I don't actually hold that belief mind, just found the picture appropriate.

>>Information about Ergon

Our Familiar can come find us, we're awesome, and Ergon is our bro. Loyalty is neither a function of Good nor Evil, just a thing in it's own right.

>>40654166
In case you didn't notice, gnir hinted that revenants DID exist at one point. during a point of time that has never shown up in any history book you've ever read.

>>40654138
>Ergon

"I'll work with what I have first. Everything else can follow."

>>40654165

He literally felt, smelt, tasted, saw, and heard everything that happened to us up until our Lay on Hands (demonic, apparently) hit him. I don't know if it's still in-effect, but if so, it's fucking awesome.

>>40654138
>Being introduced to your familiar.
We might be in a bad spot right away and summoning is useful. The others will come in time.
