New items available for research

>Meat cloning – Current food supplies are rather limited but the new equipment gathered from ring three it will be possible to grow meat for consumption.

Current problems

>Research rings – Talking with the new researchers you have recruited it has become clear that none even knew that ring four was taken out. Someone with significant authority must be enforcing a total information blackout.

>Containment breach – A few of the researchers claim that Ayla’s winged snake is dangerous and should be properly contained. They show bite makes from their time studying the creature.

>Large creature – Since the creation of the sea of flames outside the city goblins say that there is something big stalking them. Sensors indicate nothing.


“This report is dumb, Sazglangolor isn’t bad, he is cute.” Ayla complains as she pries the snake off of you.

“Sazglangolor is going to go practice more flying now.” Ayla declares, the snake hisses in defeat as she floats away with the creature captive once more.

> Try to find the goblin’s creature
>Have Hestia correlate the data in the winged-snake for us, so we can make an educated decision on whether to place it in containment. Also, warn Ayla, that if Zazglangolor hurts someone it might have to be placed in containment, she could play with it there, but it might not be permitted to leave.

You leave Ayla to her ‘training’ and go to Hestia’s monitor room to get some more information. As usual when you enter Hestia’s blue avatar fills the screen, it nearly imperceptibly smiles at you.

“Hello Hestia, do you have anything more for me about this creature sighting?”

“I have deployed additional sensors in the area, however the only notable change from normal in the area is an increase in the number of feral feline creatures.”

“Could this be like the giant flying creature?”

“Diagnostics are still unable to determine how that creature avoided scans, so I am unable to calculate such a possibility.”


“Is Ayla’s new pet snake dangerous?”

“Data recovered indicates ‘Sazglangolor’ is aggressive and cunning, high probability of inflicting injury on goblins or humans.” Hestia drones on. “No danger is posed to you, Ayla, or the city in general however.”

“Anything else interesting about it?”

“Marked for highest priority study, possibility of draconic heritage. Perhaps its wings are a further clue?”


Sazglangolor’s wings look like:
>Reptilian
>Feathered
>Insectoid


“Hestia, if you don’t mind please try not to let it hurt anyone while I go look for this other creature.”


>Hunt alone
>Bring backup
>Other

>>42107006
Feathered
Bring backup in the form of gobs and all the companions

>>42107006
>>Reptilian
>>Bring backup

Feathered wings. Bring our lizard mount and some gobbos

>>42107006
>Reptilian
>Hunt alone

Feathered flying snake? How did quetzaquactl get here?

>>42107300
Is this a vote to break the tie or a real question?


>Bring backup

You spend some time gathering up everyone, except the snake despite Ayla’s protests, before setting off to hunt down the strange creature that the goblins swear is around but is invisible to the scanners.


Its takes a bit of careful navigation to get around the sea of fire since it indiscriminately burns everything.

“I have begun to use hell forged metal in the construction of our vehicles.” Hestia says from the adaptive robot. “In the future, we will no longer need to avoid the hellfire.”


Once past the hell fire you sense hundreds, no thousands of creatures stalking about. One large mass of life is trying its best to remain hidden it nearly gets past you as well.

The monsters still think that they are hidden from you, but thanks to your connection to life and Hestia’s sensors you know the location of every single one.

pre emptive laser strike!

>>42107335
>Wait for the big one to reveal itself
well that's strange, why are all of these tigers here?

So shoot it with lasers as soon as it comes out?

3d10+11 for laser

How much mana for laser? Use hellfire? Use spells? etc.

Rolled 5, 2, 6 + 11 = 24 (3d10 + 11)

>>42107465
normal lazer 3 mana.
Let's test this out

Rolled 9, 1, 2 + 11 = 23 (3d10 + 11)

>>42107465

Rolled 1, 1, 6 + 11 = 19 (3d10 + 11)

>>42107465
Normal laser, ten mana.

>>42107523
Eh, to break the tie ill switch to three mana

You keep everyone calm and wait.


The large creature begins to slowly creep closer and closer.


You can feel it right in front of you, it should be clearly visible and yet it isn’t and Hestia still is unable to confirm its presence. You charge a small laser, you hope, and prepare to unleash it as soon as the creature appears.


>24 vs dc 25 failure


Garbage goes flying as a massive feline tears itself free from the ground, a claw darts forward and your lizard is instantly torn nearly completely in half, sending you and Ayla flying before you can shoot off your laser. The giant creature then stoops down grabbing the lizard’s regenerating body and shakes it back and forth before biting the lizard to pieces.


Hestia immediately directs the robots and goblins to open fire, but the gunfire and missile blasts miss completely or harmlessly are deflected off the beast’s sleek coat. The tiger beasts also begin to break free from cover and race towards the goblins in their vehicles.

>>Try to use a laser
>>Have Ayla thin the number of creatures

>>42107733
Try to use a laser
Have ayla attack the big one with us, it worked well on the demon

Use ignite weapon and maximize it all with external mana before firing the laser to see if it modifies it.

Pump ten mana into the shot,

>>42107733
How many spells can we throw out in a turn?
Anyway
Use aura of fear to massively debuff enemies
Use Bless
Have Ayla try to paralise the Giant tiger
Fog the whole area, it'll cause lightning damage to everything.

>>42107904
You can use at most three spells at a time. Including the need to maintain persistent effects.

>>42107920
oh! great then, I picked just the right number.

Looks like laser the big one while Ayla attacks it too?


3d10+11 to try this again.

Use spells? Hellfire? 10 mana good for laser?

>>42107904
Enemy debuffs and ally buffs are unaffected by ki score so hestia should cast them through equipment.

>>42107904
Aura of fear only applies to unliving opponents
Curse works on living tho

>>42107962
Have hestia use all the buffs and debuffs she can

Use fog, ignite weapon, And...dark gift, maybe?

>>42108051
Unliving tag was a mistake, fixed. Spooky skeletons are uneffected by aura of fear.

Rolled 10, 1, 5 + 11 = 27 (3d10 + 11)

>>42107962
No hell fire right now
10mana if fire
Have Ayla cast Aura of fear, Bless, and a paralisze spell

Let's use Dark Gift, Slow on Boss Tiger, Then Lazer it.

>>42108051
>>42108068
I missed that, but looks like I right in how it worked anyway.

Why would An Aura of fear only work on non-living opponents, that would make no sense. kek.

>>42108068
Oooh i see

>>42108094
10mana if fire
10 mana is fine*

>>42108094
Ayla should poison the shit out of the tiger i think. High ki and able to pump a lot of mana into it.

Otherwise i agree to this tactic

>>42108068
Looking over the spell list, is the paralize spell that Ayla used on the Hell lord Bind?

>>42108172
It was a lightning attack

>>42108172
No, she rolled 100 twice on lightning for additional spell effects. She likes the spells mana arrow, searing ray, and lighting as is noted by her * for preparation. She don't have infinite mind or a database to draw from like you or Hestia.

Still need two more rolls unless everyone is happy with the 27.

>>42108189
oooh sweet yeah Lightning bolts from Ayla for days then.

Rolled 2, 5, 10 + 11 = 28 (3d10 + 11)

>>42107962
Dice

Rolled 10, 1, 4 + 11 = 26 (3d10 + 11)

>>42107962

>>42108199
ooh my bad, I didn't realise she was limited for spells.

May as well just have her sling lightning all day at the boss tiger then.

>Your allies rolled amazingly well and there was no good consensus for your spell use.


“Hit the big one Ayla!” You yell as you charge mana for a laser.


You get a better look at the creature as it darts towards you at incredible speed. Its claw slices through your shield and cuts into you. You body is thankfully able to regenerate the damage. There is a massive pulse of mana as Hestia throws out spells, she must have drained the entire city of power for a split second. Lightning randomly arcs through the tigers ending their lives as they instantly burst into flame from the surge of electricity. The creatures begin to scatter away from the robots and goblins, terrified of Hestia.


The huge creature moves to attack again, but Ayla intercepts it with a bolt of lightning. The more lightning strikes tear into the beast temporally stunning it. Which gives you the opening to unleash your laser.


>28 vs highest dc 20

You try to use ignite weapon with your laser, it worked with hellfire so why not a spell? Then you unleash a giant burst of flame, electricity, and light. The massive cat creature is fighting the aftereffects of Ayla’s lightning and is unable to dodge taking the blast head first.


>Your status - 22/22 hp, 30/30 mana, 12/16 external mana – Protected by Hestia

>Enemy status – One vaporized giant feline creature, thousands of dying and fleeing saber tooth tiger beasts


>Let the others run away

And first 1d100 to try to loot the vaporized soul of the giant creature.

Rolled 28 (1d100)

>>42108353
>Try to capture them
>Other
I think our lizard mount should be able to come back from the dead, we should collect his remains anyway.

Rolled 22 (1d100)

>>42108353

Rolled 23 (1d100)

>>42108353
Try to capture them, have a small group of goblins gather and put the lizard remains back together while we look for a soul

>>42108395
>28
You find sixteen tiny pearl like orbs, they seem to be connected to each other. Your laser must have nearly vaporized everything including the soul orb.


>Consume them
>Save them for later

>>42108496
Save them for analysis.

>>42108496
>Save them for later
huh that's different, let's try to study why it's like this before consuming it.

Imagine the effect of using maximized void power with max mana laser.

>>42108529
It'll be a true religeous experience.
We'll save that for the next possible hell lord we kill.

I'm already thinking about when we wont need to use our mouth to use this lazer attack, but instead different parts of our body, like our eyes or hands.

Like a kamehameha wave, or cyclop's eyebeams.

You have Hestia, the robots and the Goblins begin to round up the creatures. While you search for the remains of your lizard, and possible a soul orb. Your connection to life draws you to a pile of tiny pearls, did the blast from your laser manage to damage even the soul orb?


You hear growling.


The giant lizard’s head is gnashing its teeth as it regenerates from what should have been death. You help it along a bit with magic, you’ve already drunk half the mana potion today so you try to send your mana into it in the opposite way Ayla drains things. It makes you feel weak, but your own regeneration fixes that. So you sit for a while healing the lizard back to full health.


“I see that the lizard has recovered.” Hestia’s adaptive robot approaches. “Nearly five thousand of the feline creatures have been captured.”


“Good, but what do you think of these?” You hold out the orbs for Hestia to examine.

“They appear to be what was previously cataloged as soul orbs.” The robot grabs one and tries to damage it. “Despite the smaller size, they remain just as indestructible.”


“Would we be able to learn more back at the city?”

“Doubtful, if they truly hold the same properties as previously studied examples then there is nothing I can do to study them.” Hestia informs you. “Teleportation back to the city is now prepared, just say when you want to leave.”

>>42108741

Looks like we can't study them :/
> Train
Let's keep training our intelligence and will power, I'd like to take power in hell, but I don't want to be constrained by it's laws.

We could also help research on the lazarus serum. I believe it's near completion.

>>42108804
Supporting this, but we also assist with any stalled research.

>>42108741
Go visit research projects and such, yeah.

Let's also have hestia try to interview all of the biological researchers to see what they know about goblins, and to think of ways to get them their intelligence and trollform back.
That was a goal, but it's turning out to be rather long-term it seems.

Alright then researching and eating

3d10+15 for assisting with research things


Giant feline soul orbs choose two
>Stealth boost
>Awareness boost
>Toughness boost
>DR boost
>Ki strike boost
>Feline features
>Dexterity increase
>Perception increase
>Health increase

Rolled 3, 7, 8 + 15 = 33 (3d10 + 15)

>>42109110
>Awareness boost
>Perception increase

>>42109110
Perception increase, awareness boost
Catlike vision is a go

Rolled 1, 5, 1 + 15 = 22 (3d10 + 15)

>>42109110
>Health increase
>Feline features
It's possible we could get some king of bodyly contortion out of this, or better eysight. Everything else can be trained or we can use exp to make it stronger, unlike health.

>>42109136
>>42109142

We have a winner.

>Awareness rank 7 ->10. Low light vision acquired.
>Perception +5, 13->18

If anyone wants to, one more roll to try to research good.

Rolled 4, 7, 10 + 15 = 36 (3d10 + 15)

>>42109336
Did we decide what type of wings Zazglangolor has yet?
Cause when he was first mentioned, I pictured feathered wings.

>>42109502
I'm for feathered too

>>42109502
I wanted reptile wings, but I'm cool with feathered.

Anything but insectile

>>42109502
It was tied between feathered and reptile. But I guess it'll go to feathers since people seem to want that slightly more now.

“Hestia, please bring me to the research center I will assist your studies.”

“Master that’s so boring! We should go play with Sazglangolor.”


There is the teleportation flash and you find yourself in Hestia’s monitor room.

“I hope you don’t mind me cutting the pouting short, I sent her to her pet.” Hestia says while preparing equipment for you to work with. “Your assistance with calculating how to compress space and manipulate gravity was most valuable. The researchers are also still struggling with the study of the lizard’s regenerative ability.”


>33 vs lower dc 27


You look over Hestia’s work so far and correct mistakes in the theoretical models she developed, then the two of you bounce ideas back and forth for a while formulating new equations and designing the process and machinery needed to manipulate time. You recall your arrival here after that Chinese guy hit you with the pommel of his sword, there was some kind of time field there if you recall properly so you are able to work off your experience to further improve your work here.


“I believe that with this our work is complete. I will begin to install areas of altered time around the city to improve productivity and defenses. Everyone’s homes will be updated to include a variable adjustment so that no time will pass outside while sleeping if desired.” Hestia proudly states when you finish.
(1/2)

(2/2)
“Do you need help with anything else?”

“No, with this project complete I will be able to easily finish studying the madblade and incorporating the genetic data I have gathered thus far.” Hestia explains, this time you easily catch the subtle changes in her avatar, yes your eyes are certainly working better than before.

“I’ll go look at the research into the giant lizard then.” You say your goodbyes and walk over to the newly setup bio-labs.


The researchers are friendly enough, but they seem a bit too friendly, too happy to see you. It probably would look to an outsider like you brainwashed these people or something. It is fairly creepy so you just make sure that they obtained the pieces of the lizard that didn’t regenerate, possibly some inactive nanites for them to study in the flesh.


They can probably handle it on their own.

Mind, Wisdom, Intelligence.
Prepareing for Lordship 101.

>>42109586
Have the lab areas have each individual room with adjustable time. That way, someone can walk out while waiting for something that takes a while to be finished, and come back and have it be done if they do the math correctly. Also, researchers can make a lot more progress from an outside perspective, IE ours, resulting in vast jumps in tech to those who aren't in slowtime.

Prepare a hyperbolic time chamber and go in for some INTENSE TRAINING.

>>42109721
honestly, we should just make our whole personal house into a hyperbolic time chamber, that way we have more personal time to devote to studying and training, and other recreational activities we want to do.

Like maybe setting up a poker knight with some of the original research guys. That sounds like it'd be cool. Maybe they'd be able to induct Reginald into the glorious life of TTRPGs.

>>42109721
If we put hestia's core systems in a slowtime area, from an outside perspective she'd be able to calculate things an insane amount faster, too. She might not like it, though, and it has the potential of wearing her systems down a lot quicker (again, from our perspective)

Hestia will be making time things all over for you.

Looks like training wins.

3d10+10 for effectiveness

By which I mean time affects her deferently, I imagine right now with how fast she is able to think everything must already look like it moves in slow motion campared to herself.

>>42109828
>Y
Let's go through Hestia's schooling program until we beat it, or progress until we hit a wall with it.

For physical training let's push our body with weights wile under the effects of spells like bless to see how much we can lift/push/pull/ect, our current maximum run speed, how long we can hold our breath underwater.

We could even do this under intense heat, or while using breathing techniques.

>>42109828
Yes.
Work on: Meditating in hot and cold temperature extremes, gravity extremes, while being electrocuted, and environments that we cannot breathe in.
Then, do physical training in those things - dexterity training in the gravity extremes will probably be pretty good, along with strength and endurance training.
Then, do pain training/bone hardening by punching and kicking into the sturdiest objects we have available all day long, sometimes heating or cooling or electrifying said objects.

Then let's go through a rigorous schooling experience with Hestia - not just testing, but actual schooling.

>>42109905
oh yeah that's a good classic idea too, we can control gravity now to make it heavier.

I mean damn we might as well build a personal training space in our house while we go through this training montage.

Nice plans for training.


>>42109956
Hestia has already implied that your current level in her training simulation doesn’t exist and it was her directly interacting with you under the guise of the program.

>>42109828
btw OP has Reginald's hair grown longer? What length is it currently? Are we still even ageing?

>>42109998
Good question about age, you know for sure that since you have found the lich's crystal less than 6 months has passed. The goblins have proven to be adept at building things working very fast.

This sucks, but I really need to go to the store, sorry guys hopefully I’m back quick and we’ll keep things going a bit longer than usual to make up for it.


Feel free think on anything that I should have addressed in the mean time though.

Alright, made it safely back with booze.
Finishing this training montage.

>>42110928
Had nothing to think on, welcome back OP.

Again you feel like something is eating at you, Ayla is probably up to no good right now. No, you will treat her like an adult any trouble she gets into she can fix. So you seek out Hestia once more.


“Hestia could you set up an area for me to train in? Adjustable time and gravity would be very helpful so that I can get more done faster.”

“Are you not worried about the effects on your body?”

“I regenerate so it will be fine.”


You get teleported to a room you haven’t seen before. There is a track, weights, a pool, some machines, a computer.


“I was unsure what you wanted to train with so I have prepared several things for you. I will review your training actions and prepare new facilities for you in your room.”

“That sounds good, but I don’t have a room. You built an entire mansion for me, no doubt with plenty of input from Ayla from what I have seen. ”


You push that from your mind for now and then begin your training. You push gravity up to double normal, and struggle to perform even simple tasks like swimming. You stick with basic training for some time to acclimate your body to the increase in gravity.

Then you begin with the torture, temperature extremes and electrocution while meditating in the pool. You push your implants to the limit finding that intense vacuum causes the oxygen replacer to fail.
(1/2)

File: Increased Gravity.png (244 KB, 576x432)

(2/2)
You use your resistance to damage to test just how far you can go physically attacking something before it hurts you, turns out anything less than a solid hunk of hell forged metal set ablaze with hellfire doesn’t even faze you.


You continue to push past your limits since your body regenerates near instantly if you go too far too fast. At ten times normal gravity you feel your heart begin to give out, unable to continue pumping blood through your body. So that is what you work in, limbs acting as dead weight as you struggle to even live under the crushing force.


So you work with Hestia’s learning program to learn more, you feel like you are back inside virtual reality streams of data fly by challenging you to expand your ability to think. When you finish memorizing, you face a gauntlet of increasingly difficult tests but you finally are able to pass the thousand simultaneous tests of level one million. When you step back from the computer you realize that you’re body has been breaking down and regenerating this entire time and you no longer feel burdened by the effects of high gravity.


You make use of your spells to train yourself to remove your mental limits, moving faster and more precisely than before, wielding weaponry with greater finesse.

Is the Lazarus serum done?

>>42111583
Have the Goblins slowly train up to getting used to higher and higher gravities, just like you did. Have hestia make sure they don't go too high and end up killing themselves, though. And have healers and potions on standby for the ones training.

>>42111716
Oh good point anon
If the serum isn't done, let's go help them try to extract and engineer it.

And afterwards we can give lizzie a few treats, we haven't been all that good to her lately, making her go to hell and whatnot. Maybe see if we can't put a translator into her so she can communicate with us better in some way?

>make a translator for our mount and train it hard

>>42111835
I think lizzie needs more affection than training, her opinion of us drained a little since hell.
I don't want our pet to hate us.

>>42111849
Reward her for training hard with chunks of meat, she will love us and get stronger.

Stat changes applied, and it looks like you want to research just slightly more than going back to hell.

You feel weightless as you get used to normal gravity on your walk back to the research center. You bust down the doors to the Bio-lab by accident and awe everyone with your raw power. Then you proceed to kick the researchers out of the way to research the lizard’s hypospray implant yourself.

“Hestia are there any samples of the nanties that have been successfully extracted from the lizard?”

“Negative, the current theory is that the nanites are highly unstable outside the host’s body, how they are able to differentiate is unknown.”

“Perhaps they have some kind of life sensing ability, if so I think I can mimic the effect long enough to study them.”

“An interesting hypothesis, I will teleport the lizard to you now for sample extraction.”

There is a flash of light and a blood stained lizard appears, it looks very unhappy that its feeding was interrupted. You pat the lizard to calm it down and draw a sample of its blood. You maintain a constant pulse of life energy via your healing touch.


>42 the answer.


You place the sample under a high powered microscope, and it reveals that nanites are present in the blood sample. Successful extraction!


“Thanks lizard. Hestia I have a viable sample please allow the lizard to continue its feasting.”


The lizard vanishes via teleport once more.
(1/2)

(2/2)
“I will proceed to extract a single nanite for examination.” Hestia says as robotics limbs surround you. A small pulse of focused gravity separates the nanites from the blood and you then have to split your focus on maintaining two areas with life energy. You hold your focus for hours as Hestia delicately maneuvers single nanites through batteries of tests. Every time one nanite crumbles into nothingness, another takes its place until eventually you finish.


“I have successfully replicated the design of the nanite. I will design a process for constructing and containing them for future use. We will now be able to vastly improve other implants as well with additional study.” Hestia announces


“Thanks for your help, I’m not sure I could keep them from crumbling and study them at the same time.”

“Your part was far more important, without your control of ‘life energy’ as you call it the study of the nanites was doomed to never succeed.”

>>42112425
Dr. Marissa Harrington is effectively you head of research since she is the smartest researcher you’ve found so far. Of course with Hestia guiding everything behind the scenes and her now twice upgraded system, you don’t really need or have an official head of research.

>>42112437
Oh, we could have Hestia perform extensive interrogations by placing him in a 'fast time' area so that, from our perspective, she gets info out of him really quickly, but really she can take as long as she wants getting info from him, using methods that would take too long otherwise.

No real consensus other than going back to hell it seems.

New nanites will be ready later.


Who do you want to take with you?

>>42112800
Ayla

>>42112800
Ayla

>>42112800
Ayla, no one else can really support us right now.

The researchers are astounded by your fast and over the top research style. You leave the research center behind with a majority of the researched awed. You stroll through the city’s nonsensical pathways looking for Ayla.


You find her floating around the fancier lakeside area playing with the feathered serpent, who seems to be able to fly on its own now.


“Ayla would you like to go somewhere with me?” You ask as you approach her.

“Of course I would love to go on a romantic date with you master, we can -” She starts rambling on about how amazing of an evening you’ll be having.

“Hell.” You interrupt.

“Wha?”

“Let’s go to hell, I want to see if it destabilized any since we last visited.”


“Ugh, master you idiot! Hell isn’t a place to take a lady.”

“Oh then you don’t want to go?”

“I didn’t say that! But master Sazglangolor can’t come.” She tries to appeal to your sense of empathy for the snake. However you can see in the snake’s eyes, ‘yes please take her away from me’, unspoken words pleading with you.


“Well if you want to go you’ll just have to play later.”


“Fine.” She puffs her cheeks out in false indignation and firmly grasps your arm.


You stroll back through the city with her hanging off of you as you seek out the portal to hell that Hestia has sealed away.


“I see you desire to go to hell, please take additional probes with you.” Hestia’s avatar appears on a small screen next to the sealed door and a container of probes is teleported next to you. “Please attempt to stay safe, you can always leave you don’t need to fight everything you see.”


The door opens revealing the large mirrored surface, and you step through the mirror portal into hell.


On the other side you notice that the ever present heat has greatly diminished, if anything it feels lifeless. Almost as if the energy of the area is gone completely.

You search around for a while looking for any imps, you hear distant frantic chirping and pull Ayla along to find the source.


A large creature with cages is pursuing a pack of imps, several more follow behind already having cages full of dead or dying imps.


The imps spot you and scramble their way over to you.

“Lord slayer! Lord slayer! Help us!” They chirp.

We ought to modify hestia's scanners to have hoverflight capabilities, and to run off of ambient mana as a powersource with a backup electrical generator in case of areas with no mana.
Then we can just mass produce scanners and put her eyes and ears all over the place, no need to take them with us since they'll come on their own.

>>42114632
Good idea, but I'm not sure if it will work. Since, Ayla thinks it's impossible to use the ambiant mana, it might be a problem for Hestia as well.

>>42114691
Worst case scenario we just put some mana batteries in that shit.

>>42114832
That works. Can we build new mana batteries yet?

“Master! We should save the cute imps, those mean things are hurting them.” Ayla says.


You heft your sword and race past the imps to engage these new demons.

>40

You slice into the first creature, its arms cut off easy enough and then you plunge your sword into its head killing it. You prepare to engage the next creature but you are suddenly interrupted.


There is a wave of mana behind you as well over a hundred mana arrows are unleashed by Ayla. The wall of force warps around you and strikes the final six of the creatures with pinpoint accuracy, killing them instantly as the cages of imps clatter to the ground.


“Whoops! Sorry master I know you were trying to show off.” Ayla floats over to the cages and releases the captured imps. “But they were hurting these cute little evil things.”


The imp is nearly crushed to death by Ayla’s affections, poor demon.


“Lord slayer! You have helped us. We will remember.” The imps chirp.


“If you are thankful why don’t you tell me what is happening here.”

“Invaders! Lower denizens of hell are invading, they sense weakness and freedom from the rule of the lords.”

“Yes, we will do this lord slayer. Slay more lords, bring freedom.”

“Would you like to be free from hell?” You ask them.

“Leaving hell is hard!” They chirp.

“Are you certain this is a good idea?” Hestia asks.

“YAY! Freedom for the cuties! They can come play with Sazglangolor!” Ayla seems to be excited by the idea.

“Yes, if you promise to behave then I can take you out of hell.”

“Free from lords! Free from hunters!” The imps cheer. “We’ll try our best lord slayer.”


You have Hestia open the portal for the imps to flee through. A few take flight to spread the news to other imps in hiding across this plane of hell and a couple remain behind to guide you to the next part of hell. They take you to a central part of the city and stop.


“This is it lord slayer. See how the plane weakens? Good luck!” The imps scamper off back to the portal, to safety.


“I can do it master.” Ayla says proudly after looking over the area. “They are right its different here.”

We captured a few of the flyers/cliff racers before killing the big boss one, right? I remember a post about having done so, but we didn't capture as many as we could have because of how violent they were which resulted in a few accidental suicides with the nets.
What happened to them after the big bad died, and have any laid any sort of eggs?

>>42116134
Well, they were apparently just scales of the big dude.

When he died, they -all- died.

Magic.

>>42116134
Unlike the fish beasts, spiders, crabs, lizards, and saber tooth beasts the flying creatures were not independent beings. They were simply mobile scales that fell from the main body. When you absorbed the soul but failed to acquire the same shedding ability all the little ones turned to ash and crumbled away.


You can always try to will them back in existence, if you want to be the most horrible person ever.

We should improve our food production at this rate; seeing as we recruit like a cult leader.

I wonder...
Since we have electric ki, if we used a spell that caused unlife like the orb...
Would we make electric skeletons?

“Let’s look around more first, perhaps we will find more imps to free.”

“Master, you are so smart. I forgot about them already.” Ayla says while you begin to explore the broken demonic city.

“How could you forget about them, they were just here a moment ago.”

You find more empty buildings, as though this place was created to be just a model of a real city to practice destroying it. You take pieces of broken stones and brick, it doesn’t seem different but perhaps Hestia could examine it closer.


“I was too excited to try to open a portal to a new place. I’ve never tried that before master.”

“Well try to stay focused and find something interesting down here.”


You continue walking until your reach the edge of the city, here some lava still flows so you collect some rocks from the area.

“Look master I found something!” Ayla shouts out and points off to a creature in the distance.

“Master.” Ayla turns to you with her eyes shining.


“Yes, we are going to catch it.” You say and she takes off after it without waiting for you.


The horse sees her coming and darts off leading you on a wild chase through lava fields and hellfire.


> 39 vs upper dc 37


“Ayla, I’ll heard it you can shape shift to grab it.” You call out your plan and Ayla melts into a cloud of smoke which spreads out to prepare to grab the horse.


It takes a while but eventually you manage to trick the horse into running right at Ayla, her clouds grab at it and try to hold it in place. The horse has too much power though and starts to break free.


You however have had enough time to catch up so you tackle the horse to the ground pinning it into place despite its protests.


“Yes! We got it master.” Ayla bounces through the air happily.


“I would prefer for my property to not be stolen.” A raspy voice says from behind you.

“This guy is ba-” Ayla tries to say, but a gesture from the man cuts he short.


“Silence creature.” The man says.


He cocks his head to the side and examines you for a moment.


“You are the one who destroyed the lord of this level correct?” He asks. “How fortuitous, hand over the deed and I shall allow you the honor of you both dying by my hand.”


“This is the third time someone has gotten cocky with me. The first two didn’t fare so well.” You reply.

You charge your laser with every last bit of mana you can gather into it.

“Hahaha fool, you want to stand and fight?” The man laughs at your attack. “You cannot hope to defeat me.”


Then you channel the void in to yourself, the remaining heat from the hellscape around you vanishes as you become empty. The whispering voices echo throughout your mind begging for you to pay attention to them.


The man’s attack comes into fruition as a giant pentagram appears in front of him, a portal tears open and a massive flaming winged demon strides forth to destroy you. The oppressive weight of its evil rolls off of you as though it doesn’t exist.


“Reginald, it is time. Show your power.” A voice whispers gently into your ear.

“Don’t you see?” The man asks. “You are helpless before my power.”

He doesn’t seem to notice that you just wiped his demon and body from existence. The voices tug at your mind, laughing at the foolishness displayed. No really how do you not notice half your body missing?


“Now hand over the deed and I shall allow you the honor of you both dying by my hand.”


He is repeating himself, perhaps that laser did more than you thought. Again power pulses around him and a pentagram forms in front of him.


>36 vs dc ???


An imp appears.

“Lord slayer!” It chirps, wait it notices you? “The void is tricky even for lords, lord slayer is mighty to control it.”


The imp vanishes again with a puff of flame.


“What?!?” The man seems surprised. “How did you defeat a demon of that level so quickly?”


Alright losing half his brain did a number on this guy, it’s a mercy kill at this point. The whispering voices mock him.


You walk up to the man who is franticly trying to cast another spell and you grab him. The whispers guide you a take his pathetic life.


The little life he has left is torn from his body, you feel it drain away into the void becoming nothing.


You plunge your hand into the remains of his desiccated chest and pull forth an orb.


What was once a dense fist sized orb is now neatly divided in two, half holds the man’s power its pulsing remains hint at its previous greatness. The other half is nothing, the remains of a soul annihilated by the void laser your used, the faint emptiness of the void is all that remains in its place.

>>42118872
Fun is shit.

We need minmax.

Le ebin plaer here.

Rolled 4, 1, 10 + 11 = 26 (3d12 + 11)

>>42118872
C'mon 14

Rolled 12, 11, 9 + 11 = 43 (3d12 + 11)

That's a big number.

Reggie doesn't let fucking ANYTHING boss him around.

Holy shit.

Man, we're gonna mindfuck the voidbeast so hard.

>Reggie: "The fuck you say to me you little bitch?! I'll have you know I graduated top of my class secret agency..."

>>42119023
Over three billion confirmed kills

>>42119042
I actually kinda want to go back through the threads and count how many creatures Reggie's directly killed.

Also, when we killed the flying beast, did all of its scales count?

>>42119108
Would that include uber laser overkill?
Cause I think the first time he used it he killed a few thousand plant creatures.

You let your spell fade, much to Ayla’s delight.

“You shouldn’t touch me when I’m like that, I’m still not sure what the effects are entirely.”

“PSH! Its fine, its not dangerous at all. It just makes you all weird, like you are far away but still here.”


“Hestia is there anything different about this orb?” You hold up the orb.

“Other than unlike the others it is only half an orb? No.”


> 43 vs fuck you void


You take a closer look at the orb, there clearly isn’t half and orb here. The orb is split down the middle, half is a normal orb the other half is more like the physical manifestation of the void itself. Oh well you eat it anyways.

Let’s stop here, time to explore another level of hell tomorrow 12 EST.
Feel free to suggest implants and/or research if you want either.
I’ll stick around for questions/comments/criticism/spending exp.

Here comes the swolest imp to ever imp.

Sorry void, but fuck you.

>>42119262
Not a vote.
Question what would happen if we choose one of these? It seems obvious but, is there a plus side?

Dark mage half choose two
>Authority of hell
>Familiar
The other we can train, unlike these two.

Void half choose two
>Elemental connection
>Void connection
More connections like life connection? Yes please! these are amazing! The other two aren't unique like these just being health and mana and the others are perma debuffs on us, void doesn't fuck around.

>>42119262
>Familiar
>Boost casting ability
Unless boost casting ability is something like just adding up a stat, in which case change it to authority of hell
>Elemental connection
>Void connection

>>42119349
I think those were possible if we failed our will save.

The void would hijack us an roll for it to see if we got dicked over.

>>42119262
>Boost casting ability
>Familiar

>Increase mana
>Void connection

>>42119349
No plus side at all to those.

The void is upset that you dropped the spell and passed the save. It would have tried to pull power away from you using those negatives. Its just giving you an extra chance to give away power if you want to.

>>42119262
Before I vote: Can we have clarification on what Boost Casting Ability does?

>>42119366
why would you choose draining our abilities?
>>42119356
You have only three there
>>42119351
>>42119317
>>42119392
these guys have the right Idea.

>>42119425
>why would you choose draining our abilities?
My theory is that it feeds whatever's in the void, and gets it closer to manifesting.
I want to get rid of the whispers, but to do that we need to kill it.
And we can't kill it unless it exists.

>>42119463
Ah I see where you're going there, but if you wanted to do that why not just feed it living creatures reguarly?

If it can drain us, it can drain others too.

>>42119463
>implying the creature of the void is whispering, and not some madman trying to get us to revive his imprisoned god

>implying we could handle the void being in any fight

No offense, but no, and stay no.

>>42119422
Increases your two spell abilities, possibly gives more.

>>42119497
Partly because it just came to me when the options came up, and partly because it feels like, due to our connection and the whisper's incessant nature, feeding it from ourself could be more effective.

Also, it might make a second Reggie, and a shadow fight with this guy would be amazing.

>>42119539
>Possibly gives more
Well, shit, I'll vote with
>>42119392
then.

More casting abilities is always great.

>>42119538
Odds are it'd be a slow process.

But I definitely understand where you're coming from, and I'll be no for now.

Next time Hestia scans a void thingy, I want us to be data jacked in and watching the scan data in realtime limit her manipulation od the data as much as possible. She is obviously missing something, and since we can "perceive" void stuff we might be able to learn something.

>>42119594
The way I see it, that void creature (if there really is one) was imprisoned by something akin to an actual god.

Reggie is no god yet so dealing with it in any capacity is a big no-no.

While I admit to being incredibly interested, my common sense is screaming "optional post-final-boss final boss" so I am a bit worried.

I think this is the count, updating sheets now

Mage
1 Mana increase
2 Authority of hell
5 Boost casting ability
7 Familiar
Void
0 Increase whispers
1 Lose mana
0 Lose health
0 Lower statistics
0 Lower abilities
1 Drain experience
0 Drain stat points
1 Increase mana
1 Increase health
5 Elemental connection
4 Void connection

>>42119661
What if we went void-form, data jacked, and watched her attempt to scan us.

>>42119675
Sweet

Ok now that that's done how do we want to speand our Exp?

>>42119697
>Void.exe uploading. Execute? Y/Y

>>42119697
I'm thinking we drop more scanners down the bottomless hole again, maybe with a goblin and an imp to see if they disappear again.

>>42119698
I kinda want our combat to get a boost, in case something survives our laser.
Cause we rely on that WAY too fucking hard.

>>42119712
>Error, data not found

>Compensating...

>>42119742
You know, I've been saying for a while that all this focus on magic and the like isn't that great.

If we ever get mana-leached or some shit we'll be in a world of hurt.

>>42119780
It'll be fine, we have 10x gravity training
how many people can say the same

>>42119804
Strength/endurance, and active combat training are very different.

We should really improve food production

>>42119804
Well, I mean, something with 100 strength slapping us will probably still hurt like a bitch.

And what's more, a lot of shit out there can still fuck us up.

Having a glaring physical weakness begs for our smarter enemies to just drop us in an anti-magic zone and then cast silence TM on us.

Our DR and Regen are really what have kept us going so far. Avoiding damage in the first place should be priority.

>>42119675
110exp
Regeneration: Rank 7 to Rank 8
74exp left
Toughness: Rank 3 to Rank 7
0 exp left

Let's upgrade our defense.

>>42119869
So we have Hestia design another compensating combat robot, which is projected to be combat capable at 100 times G

Research: Miniaturized Time-alteration device.
When attached to an individual, they can alter time in a small bubble around themselves, usually enough to only fit themselves inside.
Slowing time with this would give the individual, from the view of an outsider, extreme reflexes and speed.

If we can manage to crank it up to the point where bullets look like they're standing still practically, we could probably fuckin meditate to regenerate mana in the middle of a freakin fight.

>>42119921
I'm cool with this.
Can't kill what you can't kill.

Right, I forgot to ask what your favorite element or pseudo element is.

Toss some at me so I finish your ability gains before you all lock in on an exp plan.

>>42119921
I'd like to wait on spending exp until the changes from the soul halves are done

>>42119978
Almighty

>>42119966
That's a good idea.

>>42119978
Light, pure and simple.
The revealer.

If I can't pick Light (and therefore increase lazers and or manipulate sight and create illusions) I'll pick fire.

>>42120016
Fire will probably be easy to pick up in hell, anon.

>>42119978
Kinetics

Energy n' vectors n' shit. With our 100 we'd rock at it.

>>42119991
Right, I was waiting for that too, but it seemed like people wanted to vote on it beforehand.

>>42120027
>>42120022
Would gravity be a better option then?

>no one voting for the obvious element of Tacos

Fucking plebes.

>>42120060
we already have technology for that anon

>>42119978
I'll vote with
>>42119991
on almighty

smt games are some of my all-time favs

>>42120073
>tacos
>not quesadillas
It's like I'm talking to a mortal incarnation of the very concept of idiocy

>>42120016
Go ahead and pick anything.

light, darkness, death, fire, water, earth, almighty, unholy, force, etc

I'll roll with it and come up with something.

>>42120087
>smt
Suck my taint?

>>42120087
what's Almighty?

Also I know we have tech for it, but I imagine it'll help us ignore effects like a blackhole thrown at us, or if we throw one at whatever we hate.

>>42119978
Water
Or entropy
