Definitely gonna read the archives

The elder of the desert elves approaches you, as you enter his village, dragging behind you, trying to touch your feet. You have a feeling that this home deep symbolical significance, but your refuse to pay it any heed. You saved these people of certain starvation, now you are moving on.

The elves and the others from the village hail you as their saviour, and perhaps it is a little awkward to pass them by with no interaction, but you have a serious job to do. You leave the village and move further east. The Temple of Pern is only a week to the East, and you have re-supplied. In a straight line you should have no troubles with supplies...

>And so that is what you shall do. Make the most direct route to the Temple.
>Which means you have the chance to deviate from your route. Explore as you move.

This is fucking bullshit. Fire is not supposed to be called, not like the other elements. It is wild, and not truly an element like the other ones you know to control.

You have failed to learn it throughly. That said...

{Shitloads of fails on Pyro, gives you Wild Magic- next Nat 20 on a magic casting will be more impressive than a usual nat 20}

You are certain you CANNOT learn Pyromancy at any point of this quest.

Welp. We just locked ourselves out of pyromancy.

You have just about destroyed the mind of the creature, but that will only make it easier to interrogate it.

'Creature,' you say.
'Yees? Vlad Tepish, right?'
'I shall ask you questions. You shall answer.'

*purpouse *why did you start to kill
I am an idiot

So whats being a lich like? I missed the last few threads.

>>41873855
Pretty not good. The cons outweigh the pros rather heavily. It's big power boost, but the cons make it unlikey vlad would ever do it, since it involves things like muting your emotions

>>41873850
You still spelt it wrong haha

PURPOSE

>>41873889
Well that doesnt sound amazing. Anything else turn up?

>>41873650
well that sucks, usually when we crit fail we gain skills and something bad happens, not get locked out of magic.

'So, tell me, creature, what was your original purpose?'
'I proteeected the oasis'
'So why did you start killing the gatherers?'
'They take too much. A liiitle too much. It is bad.'
'Your kind. The fae I assume? What are they like?'
'Weird. They are every one different. They all like human meat though.'
'What of your magic?'
'I... I don't have any. I used to, but you took it,'
'Tell me more.'
'I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I have no magic no more.'

That said its not like a lich with muted emotions cant be a cool guy.

>>41873962
True just not something vlad would do. Also, That file name is fucking hilarious

>>41873962
the problem is that the magic will decay. Meaning we are not truly immortal.

>>41873926
>Seems genuine enough. Leave him alone and move on.
Double check his bindings, maybe cast a curse or two for safety, and let's move on.

>>41873926

Wait for the v. Drain to run its course then kill and bind it

>>41873855
>Muted emotions (less intense and frequent)
>Undead. No more snu-snu, or feasts, or a good d*mp.. you get the idea

On the other hand
>Unkillable, regenerates from nothing, unless phylactery is destroyed
>Shamanisim can make a piece of land our phylactery
>Big magic boost

>>41873981
The elven necromancer in the ruin =/= a lich as Vlad would be. The magic is about the only thing that would NEVER decay.

>>41873962
The emotions would be muted in expression, but would not actually be reduced.

The creature is worthless in its current state. You take one of your daggers and thrust it in its throat, wait for it to die. It doesn't take long for it to stop twitching. You bind it- it would not make much of a minion.

The blood drips on the hot sand and dries as soon as it hits the ground.

>Other.

>>41874086
You said in the last thread (don't know if it was 1 or 2 ) that a lich would decay over time.

The only thing I say being mentioned with decay is the body here

I am afraid that we made a mistake by killing it before the Vampire Touch wore off

>>41874112
Physically, sure, but the magic would only increase. Even then, with the False Life spell you could pass for living well enough.

The dead creature should obey you in full.

'Speak, creature'
'Yes' It answers in a myriad of voices. None is the squeaky sound you heard from it in life.
'Speak of your magic'
'Yes, Vlad Tepish,' it says with resignation.
'Teach it to me.'

nat 20 WILD MAGIC!!!!!

WORTH NOT GETTING PYRO!

>>41874412
>>41874392
>>41874445
>>41874349
you would think the wild magic would upgrade it to another level, to maybe level 2.

>>41874452
Not so fast. I'm sure wild magic only applies if we cast magic, not study it.

Nat 20!

The creature speaks of its magic in circles and in all but incomprehensible tongues. Luckily, you know the basics of the magic it has.

You have learned Enchantment II: Charm! For a brief period of time you can make even an outright enemy into a friend through this spell. With a successful casting of this spell, the disposition of the target turns to Friendly, regardless of its initial disposition. This is temporary, unless you can ensure your relationship through mundane means while the spell lasts.

You have learned Illusion III! You have learned Illusory Image- you can make the false appear real. You can create illusions of walls, people, and constructs of similar size, which appear real, until interacted with physically.

Well now, that was an important lesson in magic. You find yourself hungry, thirsty and exhausted a full 24 hours after you started the commune with the not-gnome's spirit. You've learned much, but you have exhausted yourself.

>Keep going. You can stay awake yet, and your goal is withing a few days ride.
>Break camp now.
>Other

>wild magic remains

>>41874478
but in studying it, arn't we also attempting to cast it?

>>41874508
>>Break camp now.

>>41874508
>Break camp now.

>>41874508
>>Break camp now.

>>41874508
>>Break camp now.
We’re not *that* much in a hurry and tired people make mistakes. (Not that Vlad would ever make a mistake…)

>>41874508
> Break camp now

>>41874508
>Break camp now.

>>41874509
Maybe. In this case, I'm sure we don't, because we learned from two very separate schools.
Also, if we cast someting expectionally good as practice, that doesn't mean we get expectionally good at it.

Think of practice shooting. Hitting accidentally the bullseye won't make you a sniper on it's own

'Halt!' You say.
'Fucking finally!' Melandie says.


>talk to Melandie

>talk to Melandie
>talk to Lathrien

>>41874616
>talk to Melandie
dat new leg doing ok?

>talk to Lathrien
I've utterly failed to learn Pyromancy my apprentice, you must learn in my place. Commune with this spirit while I sleep

>>41874616
>talk to Melandie
Just a "long march. Leg ok?"
If okay, we go rest. if not, we take a look.

'Stop!'

The caravan acquiesces to your orders as they should. You circle the mostly undead pack animals and make a camp that is mostly comfortable. The sand will keep heat, but the air will get freezing in the night. You all have hides and furs to keep warm in the night, and now that it is only the three of you living it is not an issue to camp comfortably.

You sit next to Melandie, as she leans on the shoulder of Lathrien.

'How is the new leg?'
'Would be fucking awesome if not for the sand. On proper terrain it'd be the best thing Hope we get back to that.'
'We'll get there. Need to get to the temple first.'
'Sure thing, Vlad. I'm not fucking complaining after all you've done for me.'
'About that sword...'
'Fuck that. I've been avoiding even thinking about the thing. I don't need those rages, it's fucking nothing but trouble.'

>'You have a unique ability. You are wasting it. Learn to control it.'
>'Good. That was nothing but a pain, and it might have killed you. Toss it aside as soon as you feel comfortable.'

>>41874868
>'You have a unique ability. You are wasting it. Learn to control it.'

>>41874868
>"Good. One should know their limits, if they have any." Put it into storage until she has learned to much much better control her rages and / or our magic has improved enough to install safety features in her mind or in the sword.

Anyone thinks maybe we should send Melandie to a pilgrimage among the Werebears?
If she learns the same amount of self-control they have, she might be able to control the rage as well

>>41874868
>>'You have a unique ability. You are wasting it. Learn to control it.'

>>41874868
>'You have a unique ability. You are wasting it. Learn to control it.'
>But you really shouldn't keep that sword. Let me take care of it. You'll get another rune weapon when we get back to the dwarves.

>>41874868
>'You have a unique ability. You are wasting it. Learn to control it.'

>>41874868

>'You have a unique ability. You are wasting it. Learn to control it.'

'Melandie, what do you think of my magic?'
'Er, what?'
'Just answer.'
'Well, it's fucking creepy, but, like, you use it for good... Okay, I see what you're doing there.'
'Can you? You can give up the power. You can make yourself safe and weaker. But you will never be remembered.'
'I... Fuck, Vlad. I've done things I fucking despise. I don't know if I can control the thing.'
'If I did not believe you could I would tell you to hit the road, now that I've made one.'
'Sure, Vlad, whatever you say.'
'No, please. Understand me. I am giving you a choice. If you want to throw it all away it is probably the safest and the sanest thing to do. But power, well, you don't get power for nothing.'
'Yeah, man, I get it. I'm not fucking retarded. I will keep the sword for now, and I'll try to figure it out. If I lose it, I'll toss it.'
'Good. I am somewhat tired of sane Melandie.'

She smiles.

'Fuck, so am I.'
'So am I,' Says half-asleep Lathrien.
'What the fuck is that supposed to mean?'
'Hm? Nothing. I'm sleep-talking.'
'Damn right you are.'

The camp is protected and well set up. You have spoken to who you needed to. It is turning cold and dark. You feel you best turn in.

The warmth of the bear-skin knocks you out as soon as you close your eyes.

You feel the warnings of your undead scouts.

You awake.

'Wwwwaaaaugh! Flesh-men!'
'Yayayaya! Pigs will feast!'
'Woooooooooough! The dead will swim in the wide lake!'

You hear the rough voices of orcs, full of joy and madness. You've killed their fellows without regard before, but you have a Blackguard of their kind this time around. Perhaps you can speak.

Well. The creatures have always been ever-resilient. You might as well see if they have any sort of resolve. Perhaps you can subjugate them. You move your army, making sure it looks even more terrifying through illusion.

'Kill! Kill! Kill!'
'Uh, boss? There's dead many of 'em!'
'If we kill em there's gonna be less!'
'But boss!'

The 'boss' kills the doubter, and the horde seems to consolidate once more around your camp.

23! Great success!

The orcs are disorganized, though their numbers are many. You make a wedge formation with what cavalry you have. It proves to be extremely effective, with you at the van you break the lines of orcs wherever you ride. They take many casualties, while the orcs are wasting their power trying to take down your undead.

You are somewhat outside of their circle now, you could turn around and charge once more, but you, Lathrien and Melandie are now far away enough from the orcs to retreat.

You- Nat 20! Tactics progress [1/2]! Lathrien 20! Great success! Melandie 16! Passable! Your failure has been largely mitigated!

There are way more of them than you thought. But you are used to facing numbers much above yours. And now that you understand how the dead work, you feel much more confident in raising minions as soon as they fall.

It was a defeat, but through a short session of meditation you managed to bring enough undead back to undeath to protect your party.

'There may be more of you. But your fallen join me. And my dead get up soon. Submit. I am your master.'

'No! Ain't no human going to be boss of mine!'

You keep your face straight long enough for one of the minions to jump at the throat of their 'boss'. Within a minute more goblinoids jump on the boss, and kill him in spurts of blood and screams.

Not in that order.

'Speak. What gods do you have.'
'Well, there's Melve, the godess of water, Grish, the god of trees, There's that asshole that is god of necromancers, Pern, of course, as you say, Mulgrik, god of refugees' the orc barely hides his disgust, 'Korim, god of iron, many gods, all of them want something.'

I don't know about that

we messed with a god before and that almost ended in our death, with the land spirit we were able to punch him.
I doubt it if he was a god we would still be alive.
Hell dessicrating a temple of a god could net us a curse, and yet you think fucking with a gods land and punching it wouldn't give us bad shit?
Anon that was just a powerful spirit.

>>41877116
No I am pretty sure that was the same Grish.
He said he is the spirit of the forest, and once was regarded by the people as a god

>>41877259

He is just not as self-absorbed to call himself a god, or require worship, me thinks

Yo dead was the spirit we punched a god?

'I suppose I should learn of the ones I haven't pissed off.'
'You.. You piss off gods?'
'Yes. That's irrelevant. Tell me of Melve and Mulgrik.'

'Well, Melve is the maiden great that gives us spoils and water. Mulgrik is filth. You don't need him.'
'Speak, worm!'
'Yes! Mulgrik is a god of slaves and runaways. They beg him for mercy when masters give them none.'
'I see how about Korim?'

We know where Korim and Pern most likely are, or at least their most holiest of places, but we should try to find Melve's place to maybe find another potential immortality plan.

Then we should stop by the asshole necromancer god's place and use our magics to collapse it. Fuck that guy.

You dismiss the worthless voices in your head, anything that makes you doubt your destination. The plain cold and empty plains are nothing to you, You find the valleys and the hills recommended by you contacts. None of them are of any interest to you. You ride for days upon days

A week in, tired, hungry and thirsty you find the ruin, finally. It is almost sad in its simplicity. A few sandstone slabs making it clear that this temple has never been desecrated, but no more- the building is basic and of little architectural value.

>comparing killing the forest of a "god of nature" to making the land a bit uglier in the desert around some shitty sandstone shrine to a "god of the sun"

Nigga, they ain't the same.

But Pern is a prick, so he will throw a bitchfit about it.

It is time.

It actually the time. You have gathered friends around you. You have made minions rise from the ground.

You know it is time to go alone now.

The tunnels are positively charged with the energy of light. You feel somewhat uncomfortable, but you knew all along what you would be walking into.

You see the greatest works of art above you. You see beautiful mosaic under your feet. This ruin has been preserved to a far greater state than one you call home.

You sense the presence of a god and you move towards the prayer hall.

You reach it. A room with pews of wood and tables and altars. All of them covered in spiderwebs and decay. A man stands above you. Tall and cast in white marble. This is the statue of Pern. His face set in the midst of the setting sun. He stands allmighty at the end of the worship- hall.

>What makes you assume Pern is a prick? We know next to nothing about him, except from Karim, and he is a douche.

>implying any "god of light" isn't a condescending self-superior asshole

It's like you mindlessly Praise it, faggit!

There is much mundane beauty in the room. The roof is covered in paint, much of it impresses even you with no knowledge of the hidden art.

The hall is large and full of amazing art. And in a few dozens of minutes you figure out the ritual to anger the god whose realm you are within.

It is just about as you expected. A sacrifice of living blood. You will have to kill somebody to reach this sort of immortality. Life blood must flow.

>Sacrifice Melandie. She is broken in life and you can raise her as Blackguard.

The ruin is large, and there are many books worth looting. It might not be a bad choice to do it before any ritual takes place.

21! Passable!

You need something living you do not give a shit about. So you explore. As the elves said there are many dwarven caravans passing through the desert, trading basic supplies for survival. You manage to catch a young dwarf, out for a piss, as your blood sacrifice.

He is restrained. Mad and ready to strike back, but in truth he is unable to resist.

>>41878577
true but it gets annoying dealing with gods that are angry. Granted the necro one deserves it. Maybe this one to since it is vampirism. but I get the feeling it will be a reoccurring theme.

>>41878599
sweet, lets level up dragon magic

>>41878599
Shamanism?

>>41878599
level up shamanism.

>>41878599
So, since our secondary has become our primary does that mean we can pick a new secondary school?

>>41878599
ok, we got maxed necromancy already
would levelling up shamanism help us with communing / fight with gods?
I'm all for dragon magic, but I'm gonna vote for levelling up shamanism as that looks like it needs a bit more urgent powering up.

>>41878599
shaman please.

>>41878640
I've been itching to level up Dragon Magic, but we are traversing a spirit realm. This once, I have to go with shamanism

>>41878657
what this guy said
could we make dragon magic our secondary, and eventually primary, school of magic?

>>41878599
Shamanism

>>41878684
>>41878657
doubt it since shamnism used to be our primary so it makes sense that it becomes our primary after maxing out necro.

>>41878683
up shamanism.!

>>41878599
If we can shamanism. We should have definitely got 1-2 combos with our new learned magic. Over just a shamanism and necromancer combo.

>>41878699
I knew that but, I meant if we could eventually get a new secondary.

What happened to that old elf chick that we found in the forest that taught us some enchanting. Least I think that was her field.

I see pretty clear, if hesitant Shamanism VII.

You have learned Astral Projection! You can have your spirit leave your body! You cannot interact with the physical world in any way, but you can move and explore the world at the rate of thought.

You have unlocked possession immortality option! You can posess any sapient creature and replace your mind with theirs.

You have unlocked alchemical construct immortality option- if you build an appropriate construct you can transfer your soul to it.

You have 1/4 hivemind immortality option.
