http://pastebin.com/vBRyBWfK Mechanics and Character Sheet

Economy: You have 1kg of gold.

Your minions:2 Orcish pyromancers, 1 Orcish Blackguard, 46 zombies of orcs and elves, 20 dire wolf mounts and 5 phantasms. A good number of giant spiders.

Your Holdings: A Human Village, An Elven Temple with a tower, A well-hidden and fortified cave.

Diplomacy: Human Tribes (Neutral); Dwarves (Revered, Open Trade); Forest Elves (Allies, Open Trade), Desert Elves (Unknown), Gnolls (Allies), Golems (ACCEPTABLE), Drow (Dead)

Goals: Achieve Immortality, Provide a good life for Bathory and the child.

Immortality option currently locked in: Draconic Magic

After you received your kingly gift from the dwarves you took stock of your surroundings. It is a sorry sight. When you left the dwarves seemed to be holding off the spiders well, but you had not accounted for the venom. Dozens of injured, a massive portion of the dwarven population are laying on the stone slabs, tended to by medics that can do little more but to bring water to the wounded. You are sure that not all of them would survive.

The survivors are grimly determined, however. There is no despair in the dwarven halls, or at the least none dare show it. You do a headcount of non-injured dwarves and your accounting comes to mere fifteen, as well as five children. You know that without any influx of new population the dwarves would die out in but a few generations, but you are certain that they plan to last those at the least.

As for your goals and desires, well, you have achieved your purpose here. You could leave now, but the cavern that the spiders swarmed from is large and unexplored. Dangers might lie within, as well as rewards.

Elves and orcs both have history with dwarves. Maybe they can point us to new stock in both variety and skills.

Explore the caverns after recuperation and influx of new workers.

Ask the dwarves themselves who would be best to bring in.

I like our dwarf allies. Course I also just like dwarves....

Anyway. That fellow in the rock? The conjurer?
Is he around?

Seconding

It is a somber gathering around the central forge where all idle dwarves are gathered. You approach them, and few eyes raise up from their downed comrades. The runecrafter is among them.

'Vlad Tepish, how are you?'
'I am recovered. I see not all of your people have.'
'Aye. The stone will take what it will.'
'I should try to help.'
'I'd say you've done enough, but hell, if you can then please do.'

Roll 1d20+7 DC 20 for potion, also someone roll 1d5 for potency. The d20 is first of three as usual, the d5 is first roll only.

Saviors

Did you know that your body is essentially armoured in dead skin?

>>42907802
Necrodermal Armor.

>>42907802
Also we have an emergency skeleton inside of our body, in case we run out of things to raise.

Alchemy 20! Marginal success, best kind of success! Potency 5! Master level potion.

You have learned to make Universal Antidote potion. As long as the subject is alive when you apply it, the antidote removes all poison- mundane or magical- and furthermore repairs all damage that the poison has caused.

>By the way, the way that new alchemy works is, 1d50 for random discovery- you will always discover SOMETHING but it will be fully random. DC 20 alchemy check if you guess a type of potion exactly and DC 25 if there is something that would work in the same situation, but not to your exacting specification and DC 30 for something I have not considered at all. potency is 1d5, with 1 being something that could easily be achieved with normal chemistry and 5 being potentially game-breaking with certain types of potions. The potency cannot be improved after the original roll.

The potion works like a charm. Even with your limited resources you manage to set all but two injured dwarves- dying of internal bleeding, not poison- on their way to recovery. The population of dwarves has been restored to 28+5children.

Once you have finished your alchemy and treatment of the injured it is at least three hours later and only one of the dwarves is still paying attention once you are done.

'Blood on stone, Vlad Tepish, is there anything you cannot do?' the runesmith says.
'I am hoping to never find out, Karist.'
'Fucking blood on soiled stone, it was a good day when you found us.'
'It was. I have been pleased to have you to trade with.'
'So, who are those two?'
'Ah, my guard. They are... Let's see, Korg and Halivean if I recall correctly.'
'Yes, boss.' Korg says.
'Indeed, Lord Tepish,' Halivean says, capitalizing the Lord in an almost religious reverance.
'Right. I have given them life in exchange for service.'
'I died proper and 'e let me die again. Can't bash him over the head though. For some reason.' Korg says.
'He raised us from oblivion and brought (cont)

>>42907941
us back from eternal darkness! Vlad Tepish is the master of Life and Death and I live again to serve him eternal!' Hal says.
'I... When exactly did you two develop your opinions on my person?'
'From the moment you brought us back!' Hal says, and Korg nods.
'Why have I not been aware of your opinions?'
'But boss, you neva' asked!'
'Right. So, these are my blackguard. This is Karist the dwarven runesmith and a friend.'
'Uh, can we bash him?'
'No.'
'Okay, boss.'

>Talk specifically to Karist
Is there anything you can make for my blackguard?

>>42908004
Should we mention the dwarves that the ancient god of crafting might or might not sleep inside their runeforge?

Ask them if some dwarves can take a look around in the newly opened cavern or only we should go with some undead, in case something else pops up while we are away.

>>42908065
I think we should consider taking another runeweapon for Melandie. That blooddrinker sword was a bad idea.

>>42908114
damn right it was. seemed like it just enhanced her rage and wasn't even that great of a sword

>>42908114
Ironically sounds like a vampire weapon...

Hm,

No, That would not end well.

>>42908295
maybe it would make lathrien like her more?

I like how our character, when looking at his portfolio of skills, companions, and motivations comes off as evil as all fuck, real BBEG material.

But then it turns out that he is just a genuinely good guy that just likes magic and wants to take care of his family and friends, even if he sucks at talking, and goes out of his way to help people and is generally celebrated as such.

>>42908338
Is that even possible?

>>42908353
fair enough

>>42908343

Millennia from now, most myths, legends, and historical events are going to be traced back to Vlad.

It kind of has the most raw power at this point. It IS dangerous, but y'know, so is Necromancy.

'Well then. How have you enjoyed working together so far?'
' 'es right choppy for an elf, tho only if you tell 'im to fight. If you don't 'e won't bash no one. I've tried to get some sparring in, on account that the dead boys don't hit back, but 'e won't do it.' Korg says.
'The orc is a mighty warrior, and anyone you would choose for thy servant must be of greater stock than the rest of their misbegotten kind.' Hal says.
You remember picking an orc at random. Well, not entirely, you picked the largest one.
'See, 'es alright.' Korg says.
'Indeed. I know the basics, but how exactly has your new unlife affected you?' you say.
'Well I ain't stronger than I was before,' curious. That would mean he had already achieved the absolute peak of orcish potential in that respect, 'but I go fasta now, and I can take a hit to my face even better than before. And livin' things seem to be dead scared of me. Tho that's not that new now I think of it.'
'I am faster, stronger, and I could run for days without tiring. Your gifts know no bounds. And sometimes I feel I could raise the dead just as you do, but it would be sacrilegious, of course, forgive me for even thinking it.' Hal says
'If it advances my cause I see no reason for you to not make the attempt,' you say.
'Of course, my lord, I shall not rest until I've succeeded in the task!'

'Sorry, Karist, the conversation somewhat got away from me. We were talking about how my relationship to your tribe might have changed now.'
'Well, I mean we're in you're debt, and no doubt. The armour is technically sufficient reward for great aid in wartime, but no one has exactly saved our entire tribe before.'

>'You can join me officially, serve me with the humans and my dead in the forest.'

How about a United Tribes kind of deal? We are close allies, and can count on each other if either of us gets attacked.

Who knows, centuries later we could evolve into a republic with other races?

>>42908462
>'No more is neccessary. We can re-negotiate trade, but I was happy to help, even had it been for no reward.'

And we take their dead.

>>42908560
we are basically like that, dont think he is going to have any closer allies than the ones who saved their tribe twice in one day.

>>42908583
I just thought we could make it offical. Whatever the outcome is, just make sure we invite them to the next Winter Feast.

I wasn't here for the last couple threads, what immortality option did we decide to shoot for? Multiple ones? Draconic? Alchemical Lich?

If it's Draconic, I feel kinda bad about our First born, they get their blood from Mortal Vlad, the ones that come after get their blood from VAMPIRE LICH ALCHEMICALLY ENHANCED DRAGONVLAD.

>>42908579
>And we take their dead.
YES
Corpses for the corpse god

'Do not be foolish. We are allies, and I was happy to help.'
'Aye, I thought so. You're a good sort, even with the, y'know...'
'Zombies.'
'Zombies.'
'I have been meaning to explore the cavern that the spiders came from.'
'You are welcome to. Might be dangerous.'
'Little worth doing isn't.'

>>42908625
>'Certainly. You seem a competent sort and I could use a partner.'
Lets do this one, because worse comes to worse they lose one dwarf, and we have all the undead that we could need. no need to risk their lives.

>>42908625
>'Certainly. You and any other volunteers are welcome to join and to a portion of any loot we might find.'
But call dibs on any tome we find

>>42908655
Because dwarves will fight us for books on magic.

...

Well some might. Depending on the book.

>Grimoire of Brews
>Contains the best magical drinks to knock you undead.

>>42908635
We just wen't with draconic, because we aren't entirely sure what it is yet.

That, and because it sounds f*cking awesome.

>>42908705

So do we get to play "The Dragon and the Naughty Princess" with Bathory long before any Kingdoms start to develop?

Bathory is the ultimate Waifu, considering that she can just switch bodies if either one of feels like we want to explore certain kinks.

It would've been better for them to join our tribe.
>>42908625
>'Certainly. You seem a competent sort and I could use a partner.'

Have we shown our 'companion' from the underwater tribe to the dwarves?

>>42908856
Oh yes, what happened to that one? Did we let it go back before we entered the desert?

'Of course. It was your people to reveal the cavern and you are welcome to join me and to a portion of anything of value we might find.'
'Aye. I figure I can get a few good people to come with us.'
'Indeed? There is always safety in numbers, though make sure they know the risks.'
'Vlad, every single dwarf knows how dangerous the caverns beyond the breach are.'
'Ah. Of course.'

Karist walks among the dwarves, and stops to talk to a select few. Some twenty minutes later he returns with six more warriors.

'Here we are, Vlad. These are all the good fighters that were willing to come.'
'I ain't no fighter, boy.'
'Of course, five more fighters and a miner.'
'A miner?' you say.
'Aye. Though I figure that I could smash a head just as well as stone with my pick.'
'Indeed?'
'Worked well on spiders.' the dwarf says and spits on the ground. You only now notice that this one is female. It is in general hard to tell with all the hair involved and the many layers of armour all dwarves wear. She is muscular, but relatively lean for a dwarf and she carries her pick with confidence.
'Very well. This is foremost a scouting mission. We explore, we grab what we can, and if there is no danger we consider mining any valuable ores and stones we find. If there is a fight too big to handle we let Vlad's minions hold the enemy at bay as we retreat. Is this clear?' Karist says.
'Aye.' the dwarves answer as one.
'Anything to add, Vlad?'
'No, that seems to cover it fully.'

You and seven dwarves, as well as your two blackguard advance, your undead horde not far behind. You take steps past the perimeter established by the golems and you venture forth into the cavern proper. You see the remnants of the battle immediately.

You currently control 80/180 undead.

>Raise undead to specification. There are no spellcasters, but you certainly could raise Dwarven Blackguard (cost: 5 units) Phantasms (Cost 3 units) Dwarven zombies (no more than 15 as that is how many lay dead) (cont)

Giant Spiders (cost adjusted by shamanism: 1 unit)

>>42908937
Let's not go raising any dwarves. Living dwarves might get a bit queasy.

>>42908913
>>Use your phantasms to scout, follow them where it seems safe
If we decide to raise some zombie dorfs, ask first if that shit won't cause people to throw a bitchfit

>>42908913
>>42908944
Unless we can raise some spiders, command our undead to ride them, then I'd suggest to hold back on the raising.

>>42908937
>Stick closely together.
>Use your phantasms to scout, follow them where it seems safe

>>42908114
>That blooddrinker sword was a bad idea.
Leaving it by itself was. The issue is that it is a growing weapon and it grows too fast for Melandie to build resistance against it / to grow her willpower.

What we should have done is set a limiter to it, so that it cannot grow or only grows very slowly. Make it weak enough so that Melandie can overpower it. Don’t just let it grow rampant and then throw it away.

Working on the assumption that any spider that could not beat you would choose to join you anyways you raise a full hundred of them. They outnumber your normal undead now.

>Make a portion of the spiders mounts for your minions.
>Make ALL of your minions spider cavalry
>Make the spiders shock troops, expendable and to be followed up on by your more humanoid minions

>>42909047
>Make a portion of the spiders mounts for your minions.

Blackguard,dwarves and Vlad included.

>>42909047
>Make ALL of your minions spider cavalry
No downside.

>>42908913
No dwarven undead for now. We should ask the dwarves coming with us if they want to be raised as sentient independent undead if they die. As uncontrolled blackguard, I mean.

>Fill up with spiders a few phantasms
There are spiders here to consider them cannon fodder. If we leave we might take more other things, but for now, I think, spiders are best.

>>42909047
>>Make the spiders shock troops, expendable and to be followed up on by your more humanoid minions


Also being Lath for a bit would be fun

>>42909047
>Make a portion of the spiders mounts for your minions.
Like 60 or so? 60 infantry, 60 calvary, 20 magic user, and 40 phantasm/Blackguard

>>42908913
"So anyone here has spider-riding experience?"

'So, anybody here have any spider riding experience?'
You are met with blank looks. Nobody appreciates your humour.
'I'm sure it is easy enough. Just sit where it feels comfortable.'
'I- I think, Vlad we shall be sticking with walking.'
'Just as you choose,'

You gather your phantasms around you. You send them to scout ahead and you follow them at safe distance, surrounded by your new chitinous cavalry.

'Wheeeeaaaugh! Ahahahaha! This da best, Vlad Tepish,' you hear Korg enjoying his new mount, scuttling not only ahead, but above on the walls and the ceiling.

Man, we are creeping the poor little beardies again. We aren't really good at this "staying friendly and inviting for long" business.

Think chitionous spider armor would look cool?

Give it to runecraft touch and voila Venom armor.

Give it to Lath and it'll protect him from sunlight. Give him the spider fang as a new blade.

Vampire and spiders are a cool combo.

>>42909369
They're getting used to it.

There is little light in the caverns as you do not dare to call forth more than an ember from your staff. The trek, after the initial excitements is silent and slow, as you must allow your phantasms to scout out ahead and return every hundred meters or so. Nonetheless, you make solid progress and soon enough the miner woman whispers:

'Stone, there are more ores here than any three other digouts we've made,'
'Let us hope you can recover it,' you say.
'Bugger that, we will take it. One way or another, we must mine here. Gold, silver, iron. Everything we need to last decades, maybe centuries.'
'Is it really that important?'
'We live by the veins of earth, Vlad Tepish. If the minerals are rich enough, it might be worth the risk. Provided we do not run into anything truly too great to battle here.'

After that exchange you move along. You start noticing more and more spiderwebs, tough enough to hold a grown man and still somewhat sticky. You grow your light a little to make certain you can avoid them.

Still, even through the territory of the spider hivemind your progress is steady and your scouts do not report anything until you are more than a mile in.

When they return the next time, you hear a whisper, a sound on the wind that feels like it might have come from your mind.

'Living ahead.'

Actually if anyone does see us mark them as potential allies.

'Halt,' you say in a calm voice.

You close your eyes and leave your body behind. The astral space is a strange environment. Nothing is quite real, yet everything is recognizable. You know what the strange shapes mean, but the darkness is gone and the dwarves are tiny beacons of silvery light. Your minions are the only bastions of darkness that remain, and looking upon them from the astral realm leaves you with a sickly feeling in your... well, in your essence, for that is all you are.

You proceed onwards. You move at the literal speed of thought and it takes you less than a second to find the life your phantasms warned you about. They are fragile, small things. So much so that you thought there were only a dozen of them, when in truth there are over a hundred. And when you look closer, you realize that the lives are not weak, only tightly focused on something. Survival perhaps.

As you get close enough to touch, you discern the physical form of the creatures. They are... somewhat humanoid. Small and hunched and no species you have ever seen. Their facial features are lizard-like, but also remind you somehow of dogs. They skitter about, confused, as if some major change had occurred in their lives recently.

You see strands of darkness holding each of them to the ground and linking them back to a source of some sort behind you.

And you realize that the strands of darkness are diminishing. The creatures are gaining freedom they haven't had in a long time.

You know, you could just ask them to attack us openly, or outright insult them.

'Greetings! I am Vlad Tepish, a necromancer. Are you well?'
Their voices come to you in a rumble.
'Well? What? Who?' The crowd says. They keep mumbling. You hear one word over and over again. 'Dragon?'
After they calm down, one is chosen to speak for them.
'Are you the dragon?'

>>42910226
>>'I am not. I am Vlad Tepish, necromancer.'
But I do have a pet dragon. Not with me right now, but if you like dragons I could set you up!

I thought they were slaves of the spiders, which seemed a weird thing for them to have. But maybe they were bound by that dragon we killed?

I'm actually looking for anyway to become one. Do your people hold any legend or story that tells of dragon transformation?

Then why would they be freed just know? No, this is something more recent. Probably bigger too.
Big enough to keep a hive mind at bay.

'I am not. I have met dragons, but I am Vlad Tepish, a necromancer.'

'Yes yes, from the spiders. We are being rescued but there is no dragon.'

'Well, I am not a dragon.'

Dwarves are almost worshiping us too.

>>42910554
They revere us a a being of legends, a hero of unimaginable skill. But not as a god.

Believe the Man-Emperor of Mankind, the dwarven way is much better. Way less idiotic expectations and asumptions.

>>42910554
A litttle, and almost. That's not really the same. They are grumpy and greedy, and know while we have been very helpful, we ain't no prophesized saviors.

'I know some shapeshifting and I've tried to turn into a dragon, but it never quite works.'
'Oh. Well, maybe if you try hard enough you can become a dragon and then it will be true in retrospect.'
'Perhaps. I did kill the spider queen. You should be free now, if it was indeed the spiders that kept you enslaved.'
'Yes, thought so. So, where are you? Are you a ghost? How can a ghost kill spiders?'
'I am not a ghost. Would you like to meet me in person?'
'Could be good. We can talk about things. Like dragons. Oh! Or the sun.'

You retreat back into your body.

'Very well. That cave over there is inhabited by small, lizardly creatures. I couldn't figure out what they are, but they seem harmless enough.'
'Lizardly? I ain't seen none like that.'
'I know. Perhaps they were a race though irrelevant by the man that kept my temple before. In either case they were enslaved by the spiders and I would see that they do not die in their newfound freedom.'
'Seems fair. Should we come with.'
'Perhaps one of you. If you are to co-habit then you might have to talk. If they attack, my magic should be more than enough to face them.'
'Sounds good, I'll go then.'

You approach the cave, and see it fully covered in spiderwebs. The webs here are dried and do not stick enough to hobble you, but they do slow you down.

You finally find the slave quarters and the conditions of the creatures are shocking. You smell creature refuse before you see them, and when you see the creatures they look deathly pale- you have a strong suspicion they were not meant to live in subterranean darkness.

'Oh! Necromancer man, right? And a friend? Welcome to the kobold lair!'

'Yes, I am Vlad Tepish, we spoke recently. This is Karist, the dwarven runesmith and he shall be representing dwarven interest in this matter.'
''Ello.' Karist says.
'Hi! Hello! So, err, do you eat rat? Want some rat?'
'No, but thank you for the offer.'
'You wouldn't be thanking me if you knew what bits were left! Haha!' the kobold says.
'And you are?'
'Swarmbait. I speak for the kobolds because I speak most.'
'Are you sure you want to keep that name now that you are free?'
'What do you mean?'
'You did not pick that name, did you?'
'Noo... It IS kind of bad, isn't it. Okay, I will be Vlad now!' Vlad the kobold says.
'I... Very well. How did you come to be slaves to the spiders?'
'Weeeeeeeell I don't know. I mean it is supposed to be something about revenge. Most of our stones are too faded to read. I think it's because spiders don't like dragons. Or other way around. Something like that.'
'What is it with you and dragons?'
'We lived with them. Maybe served them. I think our ancestors liked them. Or maybe was like this too. Haha!' Vlad the kobold says.
'So what will you do now?' Karist says, somewhat suspicious.
'Now? What do you mean?'

You pass through low caverns, all but needing to crawl through some of the spaces. You reach the room with the stones and a kobold, ancient looking and frail, is looking over them, clearly trying to figure something out.

You approach him.

'Greetings, archivist. May I have a look at the tablets?'
'Hmmmm? Yes, certainly. If you can read any more than I can, it is good.'

You see the stones. The writing is faint and faded, and while you know the language, the words are of older speech than yours and the style seems lyrical and abstract. You shall do your best to read them.

You mouth the words as you read the faded words. It is difficult to read, and you can certainly understand how the kobolds, with no natural sources of light and few chances to train skilled scribes would have had grave trouble reading the words.

'And lo the dragon-... dragon- something shall slay the spider queen. And lo shall he free thine progeny. He shall read these words Klaatu Barada Nikto Awaken Necorax Awaken and...'

Shit. You feel magical energy forcibly drawn from you. You know you have cast a spell you did not intend. A moment passes. A terrible roar shakes the caverns.

'Kobolds! Listen! You need not follow a dragon! You need not follow anybody! You can all make your own decisions!'
'Is he... Is he talking shit about a dragon?'
'He is he is!'
'No, he's right! He was good to us, dragons do nothing!'
'What? You talking shit about dragons?'
'No no, little one is right! Dragons don't do nothing for us!'

The first punch lands and three kobolds jump into a melee scramble, biting and clawing each other. Hearing the commotion others find the scuffle and soon join in. Upon hearing that some of them are talking shit about dragons, the others start attacking. Having heard your voice, other kobolds attack those kobolds and soon enough it is a free-for-all brawl, with few even understanding what they are fighting for except for their lives.

The passages are entirely blocked by scuffling kobolds as you hear the first scream of a dwarf. It is one of terror, and you hope not of pain.

'Shit, Vlad, we need to get through, yesterday.' Karist says.

If this was not a 'monstrous' race you would have had a no-critfail rule, due to the party you threw being so legendary that it actually changed the social perception of necromancy among the 'good' races and that used to be the most common point of contention with you and humans/elves/dwarves. Alas.

Also, yes progress to (and I can't believe I'm saying this) Diplomacy 6 [2/6]

You shapeshift into a dire badger and make a horrible noise, louder even than the kobold rumble. You snarl and charge, aiming to get through the narrow passage ahead, blocked by kobolds.

Feral Necromancer Quest, Where Skills Don't Matter and all the Rolls are Crits!

Double Nat 20! Huh, so apparently you already had unarmed 1. Well, now you have unarmed 2.

You snarl with fury in your badger form and it feels so very right. You bellow a challenge, but the kobolds are too involved in their own battle to notice. You make sure they fucking notice when you charge in there and toss them about, all about the cave in your furious badgery rage.

The thick scales underneath the fur of the beast block all of the measly attempts of the kobolds to strike or bite you and you cleave a wide path between the creatures without actually hurting any of them. Wide enough, in fact, that Karist can easily keep up with you.

You navigate the caves quickly and when you exit there is a gargantuan skeletal dragon between you, your minions and the dwarves. You now realize truly that the dragon you bound is not merely young. It is a child. The bones of the wyrm could be confused for tree trunks. The skull alone is nearly the size of the first dragon you fought. Even were it to stop motionless and not attack you, it would still be a serious problem to move over, through or around it to reach the dwarves. As it is, it senses your presence immediately, turns its head towards you and roars, the noise fully magical, as it has no larynx nor lungs.

Necromancy 32! Success! Unarmed 18! Failure!

You order your minions to swarm the creature. By sheer mass there is not so much difference between all of your minions together and the dragon on its own. The spiders prove invaluable in the confrontation, as not only can they carry their riders literally on top of the creature, but also they can still produce some web, enough to hamper the creatures movements somewhat.

You think you see an opening. You shapeshift into your most powerful battle form- a dire bear- and you charge for it, simply trying to dismantle the dragon bone by bone. It is only your thick, draconic hide that saves you from injury. The dragon raises one of its claws and swipes at you off-handedly, throwing you a dozen feet in the air and into a wall.

It ain't over til it's over, m8.

Steel yourself.

You swiftly drop out of bear form before you hit the ground, making sure to contain the dragonskin on you. You needn't have bothered as the dwarven runemail protects you from the impact of any jagged rocks you might have hit.

You focus your will on the dragon and utter one word. 'Fall.' And it does. The joints lose their magical might, and the whole creature stumbles and falls. Then, you hear a shout from above.

'Waaaaaauuuugh!' Korg had skittered all the way up to the ceiling of the cavern atop his mount, and then dropped off it, his massive warhammer in hand. He drops and smashes at the beasts back, striking its left wing at the joint.

And the wing, the size of any roof in your human village, snaps off. Korg goes to work, smashing and bashing the downed dragon.

The dragon might be down and not have enough strength to pull itself up physically, but you feel a shimmer of necromantic magic. It takes direct control of its limbs and bones and twirls around towards you.

It doesn't need to breathe in, as it has no lungs, but it breathes out black fire, straight at you.

Holy shit, you passed.

It sears and for a moment you think you are done for. But you recognize the flame. It is not true fire, but necromantic energy turned searing by thought.

And what thought makes it can unmake. You pit your own necromancy against that of the dragon. And Necorax is found wanting. The darkfire flows over you as so much a cool breeze in the spring.

>You are covered entirely by the flame and cannot be seen by the dragon. Strike at its jaw with sword and staff.
>It thinks you are dead. Play along and better control your undead to envelop it.
>Cast magic from the cover of fire

>>42913594
Whoops, sorry about that. Still, thank the roll gods for your roll.

>>42913634
>You are covered entirely by the flame and cannot be seen by the dragon. Strike at its jaw with sword and staff.

>>42913634
>>Cast magic from the cover of fire
Can we try to dominate it and either subjugate it to us or have it stop fighting?

>>42913634
>>You are covered entirely by the flame and cannot be seen by the dragon. Strike at its jaw with sword and staff.

>>42913623
Guy is well within its rights to be mad at Vlad.

We roll 1's, almost die, so reaper comes over. Then we roll 20's, survive, and death get's to vaste time going back.

I'd be seriously pissed by now.

>>42913634
Can we take control of the undead dragon?

>>42913591
You had layers of dragonskin and runemail. You would have survived. Just.

The time has come

>>42913806
no you dont

>>42913809
Fuck.

Guys, just putting this out there, maybe we should be trying to magic this thing, since, you know, we're one of the best mages alive today, but we're just passable as a warrior.

>>42913770
what would the dc have been if we tried necromancy?

>>42913770
10% survival chance against a dragon of this size seems okay.

>>42913834
There is also the "Dragon is literaly so large that we can't cut through bone because our sword is not long enough to reach the center", but yes.

At least our minions still are attacking.

>>42913834
>passable as a warrior
>when we are the most shit at combat
Nigga our lowest stats is that of a warrior we are great as a shaman since we become monsters.

14! Failure!

You charge out of the darkness and strike at the dragon.

And nothing happens. Your sword, mighty as it is fails to even seriously nick the dragon. It opens its jaw and takes you in its mouth.

You are grabbed by the dragon. If not for your armour and your curse its teeth would have crushed you already, but even with magical strength alone it raises you up in the air, ready to drop you, or crush you into another wall.

>You have taken two wounds, Dragonskin charges [0/2], chainmail per-encounter protection [2/2]

>Ignore your physical position and focus on controll your undead and magic. You WILL take more damage, but you might be able to finish it here and now.
>Try to break out of its grasp.

Our Orc blackguard would love us in any case.

Staying alive is an essential part of continuing to bang our wife.

necromancy is our best skill.

>>42913985
You beautiful fucking bastard.

Here, fuck my sister.

32 and 25! Success and success!

'Lord Tepish has shown me the way! To glory! To victory!' Hal says. As he charges blindly with his short spear and shield. And the dead follow him, in the same apparent zealous frenzy. Hal himself manages to pin the other wing to the ground with his spear, and the other undead swarm over the gargantuan wyrm, chipping away at its bones, scale and ancient leather.

The beast stumbles and throws you, but as you fly you drag its magical ability out with you with Vampiric touch.

>Roll 1d100 for duration of Int 7.

And as its both physical and magical strength has been completely negated your minions swarm it. You do land on your face, and your armour offers you little protection.

>You have one actual wound.

Chip by chip the great wyrm is destroyed, and you feel it die once more. You work quickly to bind its spirit.

>Bind it to a dragonbone staff made of one of its bone shards.
>Bind it to a dragonbone shield made from a piece of its skull
>Bind it to a helm, made from a piece of its skull
>Bind it to a spear made from his bone.
>Bind it to something else.

>ITT: Getting head to protect our head.

>>42914187
Voted for helm but this is also pretty cool.
Either works I guess.

>>42914187
But why?

Less protection.

Maybe a crowned helm, but not a crown.

But crowns are meant for kings, and Vlad is no king, nor do I believe he thinks he is one.

You work quickly, creating a crown of dragon teeth and bone. You bind the fleeting spirit to the item and it is charged with magic of great power. For once,the item feels truly full of energy, as if you could fit no more within it.

>I really don't want to commit to a specific enchantment after nearly six hours of posting, as I don't really have a cool enough idea. I will think of something by the next game.

And here concludes the twenty-seventh installment of Feral Necromancer Quest. You have gained 3exp for a total of 6.
