You're struck by just how immense the pain in your abdomen is whilst hurtling through the air, further into the hallway. The only indication that your attacker exist at all is your own red blood outlining the shape of an otherwise invisible horn. You land hard upon the rough, uneven stone amidst a stagnant pool of blood and rotting vegetation, your armor only partially softening your fall. Fortunately the wound in your abdomen has already healed, though you don't recall exerting any conscious effort to close the jagged gash. A benefit of your expertise in the magical arts, no doubt.
>Vys Pool: (51/66)

>Combat Initiated!
>Allied Turn!
>Enemies Remaining: 1x Wandering Spirit
>Allies: Darzi, Fulvia, Mortia, Profectus
>Status: Unharmed

Profectus angles his shield, sparks streaming from the metal surface as your unseen attacker carries on his assault. Darzi, standing just behind your elven compatriot, shoves her long bladed spear forward and buries it deep within what you assume to be the creature's chest. Cracking fills the air as a blue bolt of vys discharges from the spear's tip, sending shards of bone and bits of singed flesh flying through the air.

Flame, accompanied by the stench of burning hair, licks across some unseen surface suspended in midair. No doubt Darzi's attack caused the beast's fur to catch fire. Fulvia seems to use this as a marker for her own attack, willing into existence a half dozen globules of liquid fire and hurling them towards the patch of burning flesh. The first strikes the beast and spills across its shoulder, revealing much of its torso and right arm. The second strikes lower, exploding within its now gaping chest cavity. Unfortunately the others are snuffed out before they can reach the creature, simply vanishing as they make contact.

Fulvia's monocular eye narrows to a singular point of blue light, glowing brightly in the darkness of the hallway. Her voice forces its way into your thoughts, thundering despite your prior mental reinforcement. {It is assembling a runic array.}

That's a contingency plan mate. I'd much prefer to blow it to smitheroons using our trusty handcannon. I think we could actually do both by chucking it to Darzi, who's almost a legendary tier combatant. We could also toss the shortsword to Prof too, if his falcata isn't...cutting it.

>>45015921
Say, boss. We're getting a few suggestions for tossing more powerful weaponry to our companions. Could we include such actions in our action phase assuming the shot is successful and we get a bit of breathing room?

ROOOOOOOLL 3d10+12 (+6 from Fire Magic, +2 from Warlock Armor, +4 from Shield of the Scorpion) vs DC 27 (Base 25, +6 from Spirit Fuckery, -2 from Cramped Confines, -2 from Large Target)

You'd have an additional +4 to the DC from partially obscured/invisible target, but due to >>45016068 remembering your armor's various and manifold useful enchantments I'll waive that.

>>45016307
Sure, Mik could toss his shortsword to Prof and draw his trident from his cloak. I probably wouldn't require you to roll for that, because your shortsword is metal and Mik is a fairly competent Metal Vatis. It'd be easy to get it to go where he needs to.

I'll tack it on if the roll is successful, otherwise Mik probably won't have the opportunity.

>>45017883
I'd be okay with it updating again.

You leverage yourself onto one knee and brace your shield against the stone, steadying the barrel of your pistol against its rim. A thought occurs, and channeling vys into your armor's helm your perception of the world shifts. Lights and colors bloom everywhere, vibrant yellows seeming to radiate off the body of your prey and claw at the ghostly strands of blue and purple which seem to represent the ambient vys in your surroundings. Twin spirits composed of ash dance around the roiling ball of fire and vys that is Profectus' arm. It almost seems as though the power within is struggling to get out, but finds itself trapped by its stone shell.

You also note with some curiosity just how vibrant Fulvia appears. She gleams through the lens of the Sight, a walking embodiment of magical power. Designs etch their way across the surface of her skin, runic arrays you'd been unable to perceive previously filling the air around her for no obvious reason.

Unfortunately you have little time to study Fulvia or your other companions, the more pressing matter of concern is the beast before you. Though you're still unable to perceive the 'body' of the creature you can see something else. A pale white, worm-like creature running up roughly where you think the monster's spine ought to be. Branching off the larva's body are innumerable thin yellow tendrils, spreading throughout what is presumably its patchwork body like the roots of a tree. What's more, a runic array assembles itself rapidly in the air just in front of the beast. At a glance you can discern the rune for blood being affected by the rune for leech, but there are a number of others you don't recognize.

(1/3)

You adjust your aim, settling on the center of this maggot-like spirit and pumping Fire magic into the barrel of your pistol. Red begins to seep from the metal, polluting the air around you with surprising rapidity only to be swept away by the tide of ambient vys around you. Just as you squeeze the trigger, the veins of yellow begin to twitch and contract.

It leaps to the side, slamming itself bodily against the wall of the tunnel and trying to twist itself to face you, but you adjust your aim and fire. You're blinded by the resultant flash, a beam of red carving through the space between yourself and the beast. The explosion is immense, the roar of flame and the crash of stone against stone suddenly filling the tunnel even as a wave of blistering heat washes over you.

Cutting the flow of vys to your helmet reveals the full extent of the damage caused. The beast, now visible, lies amidst a blackened portion of the tunnel, now partially collapsed. Fortunately your companions seem mostly unharmed, but oddly thick rivers of once stagnant blood flow towards a point in space just in front of where the creature once stood, forming a thick, circular glob hovering apparently under its own power.

>Enemy Turn!
>Enemies Remaining: 1x Wandering Spirit (Severely Wounded)
>Allies: Darzi, Fulvia, Mortia, Profectus
>Status: Unharmed
(2/3)

You think the fight over and the monster defeated, but Fulvia's voice intrudes upon your thoughts. {It flees down the hall, spreading corruption in its wake. It would be unwise to allow this entity to survive the day.}

Channeling vys into your helmet you're once more struck by the veritable assault of color and light, but cutting through the excess you see what Fulvia is talking about. From the pile of rubble where the remnants of the creature's body lies shattered, a slowly degrading trail of yellow leads further into the complex of caves and tunnels.

You're at 48/66 currently.

>>45018599
To a limited extent, yes. However it's specifically referring to the Hidden rune, as in a hidden enchantment. It will still appear thanks to the sight, but fainter than it would have otherwise. Basically, without the Sight you wouldn't have even been able to roll. I would've rolled instead for Fulvia to see if she detects it in time.

>>45018683

>>45018683

>>45018545 25

Just a PSA folks; the spirit possessed monster could weave runic arrays on the fly. It was confirmed that it did in fact, leave a trap. Our success allowed us to avoid it though. In the future for such pursuits, it would be highly advantageous to send out a swarm of Meseeks to trigger traps or ambushes.

Whatcha listenin to, /spg/?

>>45019472
the base in the void implies we could as there's no material in the void to enchant upon, it'd literally have to be just vys, whether we could do it on the fly or not is a different question

>>45019215
you got it backward. It's you're shits fucked up and you talk like a fag.

Sighing, you reach through the connections afforded to you by the brooch to communicate with your companions. {Everyone, the creature is still alive. It seems to be some sort of parasitic spirit which, due to the destruction of its vessel, has become disembodied. It's fled down the tunnel, likely to recuperate. If we wish to end this we'll need to hurry, and destroy the spirit before it's able to reform.}

You're met with a vague sense of agreement, though Darzi seems concerned. Before proceeding you glance from your shortsword to the heavy falcata that Profectus wields. They seem roughly similar in nature, even vaguely the same shape now that you really think about it. Plus he's probably far more skilled with a shortsword than you are. {Profectus, trade blades with me. I think mine will serve you better.}

He seems leery, but hands you his falcata without complaint and accepts your shortsword. He swings it experimentally through the air, apparently deeming it an acceptable replacement. You tuck his falcata into your cloak and instead extract your trident, it's ability to damage the soul of a creature directly should prove advantageous while fighting a spirit.

As a group you advance down the tunnels, Profectus and Darzi flanking you on either side while Fulvia and Mortia follow behind. You maintain the flow of vys to your helmet, wary of encountering any unexpected surprises left for you by the fleeing worm. Your caution proves warranted, because just as you round a corner into a narrow hallway you spot a runic circle glowing faintly on the stone floor.
(1/4)

Almost by reflex you reinforce yourself with Metal magic, but unfortunately you don't notice the rune quick enough to stop Darzi from activating it, but channeling vys you pull moisture from the air and form it into a block of ice. Pulling it forward you slam the block into Darzi's helmet, knocking her away from the now activated runic array just as it activates. There's a momentary sensation of being pulled forward and then a deafening crack, the world suddenly gone silent. It appears as though a perfectly spherical portion of the tunnel ahead has simply been removed, cut away and leaving only smooth stone behind.

You feel something wet trickling down your checks, and focusing your will manage to repair your shattered eardrums. Profectus is less fortunate, having been pulled off his feet and now writhing about on the floor, his hands over his ears. He's screaming, cursing the gods from what you can discern, but you doubt he can hear himself. Darzi got the worst of it by far. She's missing her left foot entirely and seems like she might be unconscious.

You comfort yourself with the knowledge that at least nobody died. That's what's really important. Channeling vys you manage to repair Darzi's eardrums without too much trouble. She still isn't moving, but you'll deal with that later. For now you focus on regrowing her foot. Profectus stops shouting obscenities as Fulvia channels vys, apparently healing his wounds.
>Vys Pool: (47/66)

(2/3)

Darzi's Elaudian armor repairs itself as rapidly as you regrow her foot, soon sealing itself off once again around her healed limb. She jerks upright almost as soon as her armor finishes repairing itself, throwing herself to her feet and stumbling forward into the crater left by the activation of that rune. You manage to stop her before she gets too far, allowing her to steady herself.

Profectus has likewise pulled himself together, Fulvia and Mortia blessedly unaffected. Unfortunately there's no time to rest. {We're wasting time. Follow me.}

You set off again down the tunnels, your companions allowing you a greater lead this time. You don't have to travel far to find the spirit's nesting ground. Bones lie scattered about the floor, many of them so decayed they look as though the slightest disturbance could reduce them to dust. You spot the larval spirit immediately, spreading its roots through a skeletal figure still clutching a rusted sword and shield.

It rises jerkily to its feet, the bones held together seemingly by force of will alone. All that remains of the spirit is its head, but as its roots grow so too does its body. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to end this as quickly as you would've otherwise hoped. It's wrapped itself in a thin veneer of blue vys, glowing brightly even through the lens of the Sight.

Holy shit that's fucking brutal.

We need to learn this.

Fulvia fires off a spell, a ball of sickly green vys latching itself to the surface of the barrier surrounding the spirit and spreading tendrils of black across the formerly unmarred surface. In its wake the barrier is left either destroyed or at the very least severely weakened, pockmarked by holes and held together only barely by the thinnest of strings.

Simply being like 25 years old and knowing 2 of the 3 "Ancient Lost Super Metamagics" makes it worth it.

ROOOOOOLL 3d10+12 (+6 from Fire Magic, +2 from Warlock Armor, +4 from Shield of the Scorpion) vs DC 24 (Base 20, +6 from Spirit Fuckery, -2 from Surprised)
This should be a pretty easy roll, the effective DC is 12.

Rolled 9, 4, 10 + 12 = 35 (3d10 + 12)

<~Soma_QM> But trying to imprison a spirit in something would be good practice for enchanting with divine essence.

So we know what we're doing with this thing once we "kill" it.

What should we make with the little fucker? I'm partial to trying to supercharge one of the guns we got from Namek.

Soma said this is a step towards learning DE enchantment. We ain't gonna pick it up right now.

Enchant the Oud so it's basically an AOE weapon when we play it. Take this terrible musician thing to the next level!

>>45020981
Our best enchantment is a pipe that lights itself when in contact with stone.
The super complex armor we wear now used normal soul bits to do its permanency.
Using the spirit right now would be a waste, we should keep it around until we git gud at enchantment

>>45021004
Fuck no.

That's a shit meme and needs to be dropped harder than you were when you were a baby.

>>45021050
Obviously.

Until then we shall aquire the husks of dead spirits and wear them on our belt as trophies to scare any divine being we come across.

>>45021059
Well then hopefully enough people agree with you to outvote us

>>45021059
No, anon. We are putting the spirit into the oud and turning it into a literal psychological weapon.

>>45021059
That's pretty hard, I was dropped down a flight of stairs.

Jokes aside we aren't doing anything with it immediately, just trapping it so we can do shit with it later.

I want us to actually get good with the oud just so Anons can stop this shit.

Also Fire magic and nature magic too.

Hell pretty much all of the schools are immensely useful in smithing

>>45021273
why would we make our own shit when we have access to masterwork tier magical weapons and artifacts? we'd still be amateurs.

>>45021263
Nah we all get it. It's just stopping us from actually doing something incredibly useful. if'd we have used like 3-4 of our meditation sessions on studying strings we'd be exponentially more able to create complex shit and know many more runes.

From there just get ideas and put a little time into making kickass gear.

>>45021304
Samjans live forever. Its so we'll one day be a master at it and we wont have to buy custom shit from smiths when we're enchanting super power armor

>>45021304
Cause given some time (not much judging by our fucking insane learning curve and the resources we have) we would surpass our shit.

remember the liquid metal flying armor idea. That shit could actually be possible in the not too far future.

>>45021335
we can buy unenchanted shit and enchant it ourselves. learning to smith is totally pointless.

Do you understand how much it would cost to buy the unenchanted shit? You know good metal is expensive right? You know having it shaped is expensive as shit right?

I actually believe it is a very good thing that we have NOT done a lot of enchanting. The more we do, the more attention we attract from entities that do not like the idea of enchanting coming into the world again.

We are not ready to handle the kind of problems that would create for us. In time we will be, but not now.

>>45021551
Little to big for your briches there buddy.

something like that may actaully merit intervention by the gods again

>>45021556
I never said spirits, I said Entities. There are those who DO care about mortals messing with enchanting again. That has been clearly stated.

We don't have time for all this shit you guys keep discussing. The quest is ending probably right after Elaudia, so immediate rewards is better (and more in character when it comes to everything but money)

Plus, I think it's more fun.

There's no time to wait for Fulvia's spell to weaken the barrier, the spirit will have recovered much of its essence before either you or your companions are able to harm the creature. Thus, you opt for a faster method. After all, why learn the Vys metamagic if you never even bother to use it?

You brace your shield on the stone floor in front of you, bracing your pistol against the rim just as you had earlier. The spirit doesn't even attempt to get out of the way as you channel vys into pistol, far more than you did last time. Perhaps it's overkill, but you'll be damned if this bastard survives another shot.

The spirit is in the midst of assembling a rune, the intention of which seems to be to destroy vys in an enormous area judging by the sheer number of overlapping 'large' runes modifying the central vys rune. Fortunately it will never get the chance to complete its enchantment. A thought sends tendrils of vys extending across the intervening space between you and the walking corpse, and latching onto the barrier you rip it away with only minor difficulty. You don't allow the monstrosity to react.

Electricity crackles in the air as the second flint wheel begins to spin, the hammer's steel tip sending smoke and sparks flying as it ignites the powder in the flash pan. The effect is immediate and devastating. Where once a decomposing corpse stood animated by the power of the spirit's will, now there was nothing. Charred fragments of bone and rock rained down on you and your companions, and in the wall behind the skeleton there was a massive crack running from floor to ceiling, and a crater where the bullet actually made impact.

>>45021567
We survived by bugging the fuck out as it came through.

It knew we were there and sent his guy ahead to get us to leave. If it wanted us dead we would have been. That thing probably looked into our soul in the milisecond it saw us and understood everything of our being.

>>45021567
Yeah that was just because the child was there. Not because he was trying to smite us

The spirit is as close to dead as a spirit can be. It had been a larva roughly the size of your arm when you first encountered it, crawling up and down the spine of its patchwork body. Now it is a worm barely the length of your finger, writhing in the floor. You're surprised there's anything left of it at all after the damage wrought by that shot.

You tuck your pistol away in your cloak and stand up straight, considering what you ought to do with the creature. You don't think you could actually, truly kill it but it might be worth trying, or perhaps you could somehow imprison it in a vessel of some sort? Gemstones seem good candidates, and you have a few stored in your cloak.
