You shoot a bolt of flame along Zahak's side, the scales on his neck rattling contentedly. {Why don't you help Mahana's servants. Torch the creatures wielding spears. I want to perform a little experiment upon the disciple.}

There's a vague impression of his agreement, and then he leaps into the air. The throne room is large enough that he can freely circle about the ceiling without worrying about colliding with anything, and the hallway wide enough to accommodate his wingspan. You can't help but feel a tinge of pride as your son swoops down upon the enemy, flames leaping from his gaping maw to incinerate his enemies.

With Zahak occupied, you stalk towards Melancholy and his immobilized opponent. Clapping Renaud on the shoulder elicits a hollow metallic clang from his armor, and he jerks his crushed head violently towards you as if expecting some unseen enemy. His perpetual frown has been warped into a comical grimace, making it difficult to get a read on what he's thinking. “Would you allow me a moment? You seem to have this incompetent fool well in hand, and I'd like to test a theory of mine. If you'd be willing to hold him still, of course.”

There's a lengthy pause, before Renaud drives the dagger deeper still into the stone. You can see the very tip of the blade protruding from the back of the flaming orb which serves as the disciple's core. After that, Melancholy merely nods his metallic head, the helmet slowly starting to reshape itself into its original form. You take that as your cue to get started, so while channeling vys you press your hand against the ice of the disciple's arm. Draining the disciple's vys is like sucking water through a narrow straw, but your vys pool is better off for it.

In the interest of expediency you cut your attempts to leech the man's vys short. Taking a seat on the coral floor, you assume a meditative pose and skip the usual process of gathering ambient vys. You only have so much time available, the spirit could return at any moment and you'd like to be ready when it does. Forgoing the process of restoring your depleted husk, you allow yourself to sink into a trance. Becoming sufficiently detached from your mortal form requires more time than you'd necessarily like, but it's necessary for any sort of fine manipulation of the soul.

Something odd catches your attention. The gladiators and tentacle creatures have very strange souls. For one, they don't have a husk and they lack the black stone shell present in most mortals. Their souls consist only of the exposed divine shard. From what little you know of death and the afterlife, there should be nothing preventing Pani or Surya from dragging away their souls for their own respective purposes. You also note their souls are green rather than the usual gold. Renaud and the other disicple also have green souls, which you assume is the result of their respective patrons imbuing them with a part of their own divine essence, but at least they have also have a husk.

You passively wonder if the difference between a disciple and a servant is the ability to self-determine. The servants, lacking husk, ought to also lack memories. If they cannot form memories they're probably little more than puppets given some semblance of consciousness by their patron spirits. It's a disturbing prospect, the idea that Mahana has created a small army of mindless slaves to carry out his bidding, and yet they're presumably able to move freely through the mortal coil without attracting attention.

Channeling Earth magic, you create a blade from your will and begin to carve into the spirit of the rival disciple. Unlike the bandit who you previously dissected, carving through the soul of a disciple is incredibly difficult. You think their souls are, for lack of a better word, denser than the souls of most other mortals. However, the blade jammed into the disciple's core seems to have created a soft spot in its soul through which you're able to work.

Remember what crazy library bitch said, that it was easier to manipulate the world when we're angry as our soul is more agitated? I imagine it's something like that

>>46864867
Yup. Being angry helps us influence reality.

>>46864867
Yup. Active emotion causes or allows more essence to escape the shard of divinity, thus making you better at task involving the soul. So enchantment, and certain forms of meditation.

>>46864830
Hey Soma, would it be possible to use the shaping arts to relive memories and re-experience the emotions during them in order to prime ourself for finalization rolls?

>>46864913
And we're only getting this bonus for the first time now, because...?

>>46864933
Who knows~
From what Mik's experienced thus far, emotion seems dulled when viewed through the Shaping Arts. Perhaps this would not be the case with more recent memories, or with more emotionally charged memories, but that's mere speculation.

>>46864947
Mik's not a particularly emotional guy, Anon.

>>46864947
I think this is really the first time Mik has actually been enraged over something.

Ain't nobody messing with Zahak.

>>46864947
We have literally only finalized enchantments 3 times ever, and every single time we did so we were in a normal state of mind. Other soul related rolls we've done: gate meditation, shaping arts meditation(?), closing the void rift, dissecting a bandit's soul. None of these were emotionally charged moments worthy of the bonus. Please inform me of any soul-related meditations we've performed aside from these

>>46865013
imprisoning the spirit, I think?

>>46865066
Good one. I also forgot protecting our soul from the crown spirits. Neither of those were emotionally charged though.

>>46865092
Getting bodysnatched by a horrorshow doesn't count as something to get you emotionally charged?

>>46865151
Soma does describe the desperation in the flashback, but I think we were more confused initially and then detached as we eroded away our memories.

>>46865013
Also missed the roll to reinforce the shell around our DE, after which Mortia gave us the soul restoration potion. Incidentally we should ask her to brew up a ton of that so that if we need to use a huge amount of our husk in a fight we can drink it to recover. We'd probably be out of the fight after we did that, but it'd be better than being a danger to our allies because we can't remember them.

Difficult though it may be to work your way through the disciple's husk, you get the sense that your armor is helping you along. It seems to supplement the vys you channel with the ambient vys it constantly floods into your reserves, lending your spells significantly more weight than they'd have otherwise. It also doesn't hurt that you're not trying to be perfect here. In fact, you're hacking away at this bastard's soul with wild abandon. His patron hurt your son, and in some small way this allows you to get back at the spirit.

Working through the weakened area created by Melancholy's dagger, you sheer away an immense chunk of the disciples soul. This serves to reveal the black shell beneath, which is absolutely ridden with holes. You're surprised it's holding together at all, some of the strands connecting its disparate elements are as thin as cobwebs. Within the shell sits his divine shard, but also something else. A small, blue fragment of essence orbits around the golden shard of divinity which lends him sentience.

You suppose this sliver of essence is what constitutes the spirit's presence. Odd to think that it's not actually bound to the divine shard, but merely contained within the shell alongside it. That is not the case for the servants battling in the hall, their shards are properly green, rather than being separated into blue and gold elements. Part of you wants to separate the spirits' essence from the disciple's soul, but you've never actually worked with the shard of divinity directly. Only with the husk and the shell.

(1/2)

Channeling Vys, you pull the separated portion of the disciple's husk towards you. You would guess that you've seized roughly a third its substance, and his husk is far larger than your own. You could simply force it into your pistol, which you had the foresight to place on the ground before you rather than resting it in your lap, but you worry that forcing so much of the husk into a receptacle not designed to contain it may damage your pistol.

Thus, you thought to use the disciple's husk to reinforce your pistol. You thought the process might be similar to casting from ambient vys, but now it occurs to you that when casting from ambient vys you first bind it to your reserves. The idea of joining this man's husk to your own sets you ill at ease. What if you're forced to absorb some of his memories? What if it changes who you are, and your personality? More than that, this man was presumably a human, or perhaps an elf. Do you really wish to contaminate your soul by mingling its essence with that of a lesser race?

>>46865973
Since the husk of one's soul determines their max vys, does this binding temporarily increase our max vys? This is just semantics really but I think it would be cool. It shouldn't influence how much we can spend on a roll though based on how temporary changes to max vys work.

>>46865935
Oh shit.

We could seriously get important shit if we could pull this off successfully. And with these sort of bonuses we probably could.

>>46866005
Well it would only increase our max vys for a moment until we remove it and reinforce the pistol with it.

>>46865935
>>46866008
When we erode our husk though, our memories come back with time. That means that any memories we gain would probably only be temporary. That said, it could still be useful to borrow knowledge from someone until that knowledge gets eroded away naturally.

Talking about souls I fix my drawing from last time.

That would indeed seem to be the implication. Of course, the hard part is finding one specific memory and incorporating it, instead of just a bunch of random information like the look of his mother's face or the vows he made to his wife on their wedding day.

Okay, so when you mix a spirit's shard with a mortal's, you get a mindless drone the spirit can control from his master shard. But what happens when you mix a small mortal shard into a spirit's main shard? Or what if the mortal shards are abundant enough to overcome the spirit's tendency to dominate, so that the green has far more yellow than blue? Does the spirit become more human, or does it always retain dominance by virtue of its innate properties?

Furthermore, if Dragons and Voibardians, as born from the gods directly, have red shards, and mortals have yellow, and spirits have blue, does that happen due to a representation of the nature of the being via the spectrum?

Does it mean void beings are even further down the spectrum, being ultraviolet and therefore imperceptible to mortals because of how much they differ from them?

What happens if you mix a dragon and a spirit? Do you get a mortal? What of other combinations, like human and dragon? Are the gods in the infrared?

What happens when you forcibly mix shards of the same color? If you combine the shards of ten people, do you get an insane person with the vys pool of a century-old dragon?

Souls lose memories after they die. If we combine the shards of the recently deceased like that kid we Jesus'd, would that create a coherent entity? After all, there must be a problem with mixing shards, since the Mahatma is designed to keep them separate, and you can't tell me the Hiacians didn't experiment around with that shit. You all know how Samjan vatis get as they age.

We have access to human souls, and a spirit soul in our pocket. We're obviously not touching Zahak, but we might eventually imprison a dragon. So because of that, and also because of my long list of mental deficiencies, I thought I'd just throw these out there.

...Now, someone just needs to read all that.

>>46866005
Oh, and yes. This is a way of gaining a temporary bonus to max vys.

>>46866111
>spirits have blue
Blue actually just reflects a portion of divinity not attached to its original host. Casting permanency, for example, imbues an object with a blue shard.

Not only are you autistic, you're dumb AND wrong too.

Seriously almost everything you wrote there is impossible or acts on a false assumption.

We should look at how someone's vys pool changes before and after they are jesus'd, to see exactly how the shard of divinity interacts with memories and max vys.

>>46866267
Greater Spirits like Mahana, Atma, and the Water Spirit tend to appear as blindingly bright white outlines of their actual forms. There's not just a focused single area around a shard, their entire body is composed of essence.

>>46866300
yeah, but what color is it? yellow is samjan, blue is detached from the original, dragons are presumably red (the husk reflects the shard, as seen in disciples, Regulus, and Skull Kid), void is an absence of light, so what about its color?

>>46866394
The colors dont really matter.

You're focusing on the wrong thing.

>>46866370
Does Divine Essence regenerate, or do spirits have a finite, non-replenishable supply of power? Can they even manipulate husk or vys?

>>46866322

>>46866457
We know that the destruction of the detached blue infused into a disciple's soul would be a permanent loss of strength for the associated spirit.

>>46866537
it would kill him.

>>46866500
Now that's a plan I can get behind. You should post it every thread.

>>46866457
In Spirits, Divine Essence does not regenerate. They restore themselves by consuming lesser spirits. Only the Gods are capable of creating new divine essence. However, Divine Essence also cannot be destroyed. When a spirit is made to bleed, their essence degrades rapidly into vys. If a spirit bleeds enough, it will lose the consistency of its form and be reduced to a minor spirit. However, they can never bleed away all of their essence.

Thus, a spirit can only truly die when it is absorbed by a greater spirit.

Spirits can manipulate both husk and vys, but a spirit only has husk in its outermost layer. You can think of the husk as their skin, and beneath that is their essence. Thus, manipulating the husk to any large degree would require bleeding some of their essence, which is undesirable.

>>46866566

I'm not sure I exactly understand what you mean. Is the degradation from essence to vys an irreversible process? Wouldn't that then be the destruction of divine essence?

>>46866695
>we just steamroll or crawlroll through everything as long as we have vys
Untrue. We have gotten into situations with a non negligible chance of failure. In fact, certain rolls could have ended the quest on the spot
Eg
Chryssa's GM meditation
The crown
The child encounter in the void
The mines of Longia (actually we incurred an as of yet unpaid debt to not die, so luck and vys didn't even save us from this situation)

Additionally, though it seems that our combat is unfailable, that is often because of techniques that we have incidentally picked up as a result of our study, and then usually because we decided to use those techniques in a dangerous way. Consider our first use of napalm against. It was against horrorbeasts that we seemingly had know good way to kill. We actually went into that encounter without obvious tools and used the untested battle meditation technique to learn the theoretical liquid fire technique in order to destroy the monsters.
Consider also the fight against profectus, which was only won without significant losses because of our decision to brooch Darzi, something that was not provided as a default option. Profectus was guaranteed to die at the time of that roll without intervention that was not available through options given by Soma.

>>46866945
Let me just unfuck my sentences. Should be
>Consider our first use of napalm. It was against horrorbeasts that we seemingly had no good way to kill.

Niggas. The Spice incident with Prof was literally not too long ago and the odds were that we die there.

Skin of our teeth man.

>>46866742
Just as no matter is lost due to radioactive decay, no divine essence is lost when it decays into vys. In fact, divine essence is the only reason that vys is able to effect the strings which bind reality. So when a spirit bleeds essence, some of it is siphoned off by the Gods to be recycled or absorbed, much like the souls of mortals after their death, siphoned off to be recycled by the gods. The rest simply remains within the base reality, or within one of the two hundred sixteen outer layers.

Based on what Mik knows of the afterlife, Surya also acts as something of a 'heat sink', in that he drains away as much loose divine essence as he can in the hopes of finally escaping from underneath Pani's boot heel.

>>46866994
We were just too stupid to use the cloak then

>>46866892
Yes, I can read. I read pretty nice too. But not so much danger, and last situation big trouble was companion Profectus getting high and beamy.

>>46866945
>>46866990
Yes, and I want more of that. It's thrilling.
We just have so much stuff and resources and powers, I want to see Mikael tackle the harshest parts of the setting and thrive from the ensuing struggles with everything we've gained.
I only want Soma to not hold back is all.

Also note that a little bit of Divine Essence makes a TON of Vys.

Couldn't have failed the roll, literally.
>>The crown
Wouldn't have ended the quest, only flash forwarded. And even then Soma pulled some last-minute bullshit mechanism that is now proving itself to be broken as fuck.
>>The child encounter in the void
Vys could've helped us if we hadn't gotten lucky.
>>The mines of Longia

nigga what

Soma said he was preparing to write the epilogue. He's actually said he's been ready to write it several times now.

>>46867013
>I only want Soma to not hold back is all.
But anon, Soma literally can't stop giving us tangential plothooks, each fraught with their own random dangers. That enchantress lady in her pocket reality, for example, could have been a dangerous fight that would probably have killed us. We chose to handle that encounter by using our negotiation skills to leave and then building a wall around her door to prevent people from leaving.

>>46867066
Fortunately now it is to Elaudia, and I hope well that's fine too.

>>46867075
There were certainly great moments of peril in Longia, many multiple times not including the trip to Namek.

>>46867075
>couldn't have failed the roll
literally a 26991001/27000000000 chance to fail any roll as a result of natural 3.

>>46866945
youre forgetting the profectus high on spice episode

>>46867160
Speaking of Namek, it could totally be a creation of Srsti who tried to make her own reality with hookers and blackjack but couldn't give her mortals proper souls.

Also, if we went back there, we could probably rule the planet.

>Whole fight with the bandit leader guy
>Nearly falling under the thrall of the dragons and being forced to ask the stooges for help, thereby incurring the as of yet unpaid debt I mentioned

>>46867224
We know that Namek is part of our reality, at least somewhere in the 216 layers because of multiple things. The most obvious of which are our ability to communicate with Demetrios through the brooches and the portal entity's knowledge of the void.

Tbh the only reason people say it's too easy is that Mik is a water GM so he can simply heal himself as long as he's not dead.

>>46867276
>>Slitting out throat to remove poison
Mik was slitting his own throat before the quest even began.
>>Naturebeasts attacking us after we grab the dragon heart
I barely even remember that, that's how inconsequential it was.
>>Whole fight with the bandit leader guy
Literally one shot his ass.
>>Nearly falling under the thrall of the dragons and being forced to ask the stooges for help, thereby incurring the as of yet unpaid debt Safety net by Soma who wrote himself into a corner.

>>46867276
Then the whole escape too.

Then there's the moment in Namek when we were arrested and almost huffed the entire bottle of Spice. That woulda killed us.

>>46867276

Stop responding to him. Everyone knows he's an idiot and he's not going to change his opinion. He wants his grimdark shadowruns where the world is out to get you and he'll be dammed if he plays a normal fantasy rpg.

>>46867353
And also a good practice of choosing swift victory methods.

Oh the horror

>>46867482
All i'm gonna say is that we've had almost half a dozen situations in the game where the chance of survival was less than 50%

Death is cool in tabletops and video games but it doesn't quite work in quests.

Now it's back to the BQ that I know.

>>46867620
It's great, there's so much more time for productive discussion.

>>46867620
Now is about time for Soma to come back and tell us he's been "taking care of something"

That "something" being is little sisters tender young pussy.

>>46867667
It could be worse, some asshole could just spam pictures

>>46867702
Oh yeah thanks for reminding me

>>46867564
I feel like death can work as long as the quest continues from the MC's point of view. Sort of like a sidequest to come back to life or some shit where it's fun but you still experience the consequences of fucking up.

Shadow Quest was a pretty decent example of how not to handle MC death. The whole time the players had to control the waifu was the most obnoxious shit

>>46867735
Ah, but I never said I wanted him to die. I just want more perilous struggles because I like them.

>>46867780
If they get any more perilous we will die. The odds of living in a few of our past fights have been quite small.

Not every encounter is supposed to have us on the brink of death.

>>46867819
And you are correct. However, my wish remains. It's my favorite kind of fun.

>>46867749
No fuck off

>>46867749

>>46867735
Look, the chance of failure being so low takes away from the experience. Some anons can't see this as being a necessary sacrifice on Soma's part, as every thread is filled with trolls, autists and morons who outnumber regular people 4:1. If the level of difficulty increased, we would die pretty soon. The ideal of "good decisions, good results, and also the opposite" is all good and well, but the audience is too big, the writer is too callous to throw shitfits about it, and, oh yeah, we're on fucking 4chan.

This is about as good as quests get around here.

Nigga we generally make some pretty smart decisions when reacting to crisises. we get into some dumb ones but we always come up with clutch ideas and great strategies to win the fights.

Like the larval spirit fight for example. Soma said that fight was supposed to be really fucking hard for us. But two anons ides and we put him down no prob.

Well, you'll set aside your reservations for the moment. You have more pressing concerns than the purity of your soul. Acting largely on instinct, you draw the chunk of the disciple's husk into yourself. There is immense resistance as it draws closer and closer to your own golden soul, and several times the disciple's husk slides right off the outer layer of your own soul. However, after much trial and tribulation, you're finally able to make some sort of connection to the disciple's husk.
>Vys Pool: (49/[79])

You taste citrus on your lips, and are momentarily overcome by the smell of saltwater. However, you feel few effects other than these vague sensory impressions. Siphoning off this portion of your husk still very much identified as foreign, you begin to slowly force it into your pistol. You can feel the threads which bind reality are increasingly strained by the burden of your pistol. Previously it had been only a vague blue impression at the edge of your consciousness, but by the time you've finished it's blindingly white, much like the form of a spirit when viewed from a deep trance.
>Vys Pool: (49/[55])

That finished, you carve away the rest of the disciple's husk. It's a simple process, now that you've created an initial opening. You manage to flay the rest of the disciple's soul, leaving his shell laid bare for all the world. It looks as though the slightest of effort on your part would be enough to shatter the thin net of stone stretched around his twin shards, but you would rather spare yourself the exertion.

>>46868110
He's useless. It's his general attitude towards life, an Mik especially, that makes him worth keeping around.

He could potentially become useful if we bother to spend a few meditations on unfucking up his arm, but that involves enchantment and doing something that doesn't involve granting Mik more personal power, so we probably never will.

>>46868143
Fulvia is the opposite: Great for combat, utility, everything, but personality-wise has been a complete non-entity since we last entered her (hue) and entered that chained up door. She could become great if we reentered her (hue hue) and removed some of the limiters on her, but that also would involve a couple threads.

But it would be solo and spiritey bullshit, which I and other anons seem to enjoy, so maybe? Who knows?

Cramming the green mass of the disciple's husk into your pistol proves a more difficult task than you'd initially anticipated. The world protest against such abuse, a quiet, high-pitched hum seeming to fill the air as the pistol glows brighter and brighter. Frankly, you're a little worried to actually shoot the thing. What if it collapses this reality in upon itself, with you trapped inside? Were would that place you? Would you simply appear in the middle of the ocean surrounded by corpses, or perhaps would you be counted among the dead?

Regardless, you finish packing the last of the disciple's husk into the ancient pistol and begin to withdraw from your trance. When your eyes snap open, you sit beside Melancholy, with Zahak feasting upon the grey flesh of one of the water spirit's tentacled servants near-by. You see no sign of Mahana's own servants, though his minions are streaming with some regularity through the portal behind you. The disciple is clearly unconscious, slumped over against Melancholy's blade lifelessly.

Your pistol is a strange thing. Bubbles of nonexistence seem to blossom around its barrel, only to pop as reality reasserts itself. Looking at it just feels wrong, as though you're staring at something which ought not to exist, and holding it is even worse. It sends an electric shock running up the length of your arm, a sensation like needles digging into your skin growing worse for every second you hold the now charged weapon.

As you begin to stir, Renaud jerks is blade free, shoving the body of the disciple onto the floor. Its core is shattered with a single, triumphant swing from his halberd. The disciple is dead, and his corpse lies still on the coral floor next to you. Oddly, the fragments of the stone core slowly begin to lose their firmness, instead becoming almost as soft as wet clay. Mahana's disciple offers you a hand up once he's assured himself that his rival is dead, an offer which you accept.

He says nothing to you, though to be fair you're not wholly certain he can talk. The other one, Clarisse, hadn't said a word to you after you entered the spirit realm. This realization brings about another, you don't think you've ever encountered a disciple that said a single word within the realm of its patron. At least, not that you can recall. You don't think the two disciples of that spirit who occupied Anthus prior to your launching of an invasion said anything to you, and the carapace-garbed knight certainly didn't.

Odd. Why would disciples be rendered incapable of speech within the realm of their patrons?

You're distracted from your absentminded contemplation by the earth beginning to quake, flecks of coral falling from the ceiling as something immense lands upon the landscape. You don't need to channel Nature magic to know that the spirit has returned, its presence can be felt across every inch of this place, the immensity of his power enough to give you pause.

It's only a few moments later that Mahana comes striding through the portal you created for him. He seems to have healed the wound upon his side at some point, and he bows his leonine head to you in greeting. {Mikhael.} His voice rumbles through your thoughts, practically a purr. {I would urge caution, in his desperation my rival has resorted to using his essence directly. Here, in his realm, he will hold a distinct advantage.}

{Surely he must be holding on by mere threads, if he is using that which gives him life to fuel his aggression.} The boar spirit which serves Mahana passes its immense bulk through the portal, momentarily distracting you. It suffered a terrible wound across its flank, which is only slowly beginning to repair itself. {Strike a decisive blow now, and the battle will be won.}

The Cat takes a seat by the portal as a veritable army of his servants, both the humanoid constructions of stone and fire and the tiny, almost ferret-like forms of his weaker minions, begin to stream into this realm. {I am afraid it will not be so simple. He has consumed one of his vassals, and through this restored himself. I am much of our work has been undone. However, with the loss of a disciple and the majority of both his servants and minions, I believe we will be able to win a war of attrition.}

I just want to read about the creatures expression when we explain to him we literally ripped out a dudes soul and compressed it into a bullet to fire at his master.

This is the first vaguely relevant situation where I've been able to use this reaction image.

War from Maha's PoV when?

The death star didn't fire unreality.

>Pull the trigger
>Pistol stops existing

>>46868671
No, but whatever it did fire upon soon became unreality.

>>46868702
Oh well, we've got another one. Heck, with our enchantments we could make a better pistol.

Wait, I don't get it- did we use lobsterman's divine shard along with his patron's imbuement to fuel an enchantment on the pistol, or did we simply grab it and load it as shot?

>>46868671
It might not as much be unreality as it is too much active influence by a different entity than the realm's master destabilizing the realm, since it doesn't have a will to recreate it in its own image and projects absence instead and god do I need to sleep.

>>46868756
We bound the guys soul to us, then ripped off his husk and jammed it into our gun, his core should still be stuck to us, I think

>>You didn't charge this pistol for nothing. Hunt down the giant bastard that hurt your son and make him fear mortal might.

>>46868756
We only used the husk, and I think we enhanced the existing enchantment on the pistol but we might have just used it as fuel for the shot instead of as fuel for the thing that fuels the shot. It was unclear.

We left the core alone,which Melancholy destroyed. Which was stupid- we should've put it in a gem, but Soma is a Jew and didn't give us a choice.

>>46868756

We use lobsterman's husk (see my lovely picture >>46866073 ) to strengthened and load the pistol to brim.

>>46868728
>>46868702
Then we better hit the north soon. Get that new more advanced gun. That is hopefully more heavily enchanted to let us make shots of this size from the husk with out issue.

Or you know, Have Mahana create a recreation of the gun. So we just use magic with the gun and not actual bullets. With Range+amplify along with use of the husk. Making this shit amazing at casting and holding spells. Also possibly have its own vys storage. so we could blast directly from the vys it store up.

>>46868656
Could we quickly throw a unbreaking enchantment on top of our pistol before we fire it?

>>46868848
I like this idea quite a bit.

>>46868848
No.

Elaudia.

We can cow Mahanna into making us a better one.

This will be a valid strategy in Elaudia.

>>46868848
Why a single enchanted pistol when we can have duel enchanted pistols, with stylish enchanted holsters.

>>46868949
In that case, why stop at two?
We can animate hands with water/ice, so we could hold over a dozen guns at once.

>>46868942
Wildefires in certain parts of the world allow extremely voracious insects to hatch in great swarms.

>>46868848
Soma confirmed that we can straight up buy the gun now and even rill for other loot.
>>46868656
So when mik comes back he is finally buying shit from sadik right?
You know that won the vote before mortia ran Luke a dumb ass into a death hole.
Also you confirmed he would stay for a week to two weeks.

>all stored in cloak so they can be pulled out at a moments notice in a nuke-em move

So who's ready to close another Void portal?

>>46868987

Nah, the Cat would at least have the decency to pass the message to our companions back at the state.

>>46868987
It's what we deserve, but what will we get? I voted to fire with Soma's safety blanket in mind.

>>46868656
Is there any chance we could use manipulate to fire the pistol when it's really really far away from us?

>>46869051
What makes you think the gun will stop at tearing through this layer of reality?

>>46868578
No roll?

>>46868987
We're also in an orb outside of existence

Hey, there's no way in hell that humie is pregnant.

>>46869116
Nah spirit realms are in our layer, but hidden inside.
Enchanters went the opposite way and made shit in the void.(though the hive mind is in this reality, so its kinda like its own spirit realm.)

Come on guys we reinforced the gun for this very reason. If the thing blows up despite being reinforced with a third of the husk the explosion is going to be massive enough to instantly wipe out a notable portion of base reality.

We need to meditate with Zahak to both get Grand master fire then we need to learn Beam and teach him Beam.

>>46869143
Mik never pulls out his big nigger dick.
Plus he left for a pack of spice and never came back.

>>46869101
I could see it tearing through base reality.

But carving a sizable hole in the Silver Ropes of The Void would not be easy.

>>46869220
So who else is ready to see mik dance on the grave that is the chryssa route once we come back?

I'm going to samefag us away from Darzi at every opportunity.

You'll never get a conversation with her again.

>>46869262
I'm excited for the epilogue where we meet the degenerate bastard twin daughters, and the aghaki son to our companions.

>>46869302
I'm gonna samefag us to Darzi. So it should even out, honestly. No one will even notice the difference.

>>46869180
Nope.
The void is the second layer of reality. Outside that is the realm of the gods. The Hivemind has its own reality with 216 layers, as does Lichtits (I think).

>>46869302
To late anon.
Mik made it official already.

Was it ever in question. anon?

>>46869333
No the gods made the 267 layers.
The enchanters just tore a hole through them for literally shits and giggles.
I'm not playing it up either their answer was why not.

>>46869397
216

>>46869333
you're an idiot.

>>46869443
That's harsh anon. He could be a very intelligent individual, but he skimmed too much to get a full picture.

>>46869423
Same thing.
But my point still stands in that the enchanters never went unto the gods domain.
They only poked a hole through the bubble so that they could so they could and than settled down.
Also spirit relams are literally inside our layer, why do you think we see the void if we tear a hole in here.

I like our companions. I know that Prof is a liability with his PTSD, Darzi is a shitter who's only useful because of the armor we gave her, mortia may have ability but she's too fucking stupid and lacking in experience to exercise common sense, Fulvia is probably a ticking time bomb with that insane screaming imprisoned soul thing in her mindscape (or whatever it was)

I get that we're far from being super optimized, and there are a million other ways we could git gud, starting with dropping most of our companions

But that seems like such a waste when they're decently fleshed out characters, and it feels like this thread is full of That Guy munchkins who are basically screaming that we should have a party of CoDzillas and are stupid for letting other players who created more interesting T2/T3 characters play with us

I bet Soma's posting in the IRC.

>>46869594
He isn't.
