you headed south, a lone figure was dipping his toes in the peculiar water on on your way.

It was Neegel, the pyromancer. He didn't have his small chest this time.

"You again?" he retorted "Well, perhaps it is a good thing you came by; my earlier statement won't apply to my kin anymore...i am now an outcast like you thanks to that damn chest."

He paused for a second "Vessel of vex, if you happen to pass by an old crone in the giant's valley...kill her. bring me her rotten head and i will share my fire with you."

He wasn't annoyed by your silence "Curses, There is on way out of this blasted end; A route is guarded by a loathsome snake , the other..." he pointed at the body of water "is infested with Loa's buddings. I am trapped here..."

He half-turned his back "Oh and take this, if you are brave enough to cross Ioa's sea."

He gave you x3 Negeel's Firebombs

______IOA'S SEA_______

You took a couple of brave steps into this strange sea.

In a few moments, six buddings have sprouted up ahead, they were moving very very slowly towards you. Your movement in water was greatly slowed giving them a slight advantage.


>Outrun them [10-20]

A strange dream was tangled with one of the buddings.

>A Wishful dream

A peculiar dream of one of the mindless buddings of Ioa. A woman in a white wedding dress was only the interpreted aspect of said dream.

After defeating the buddings, you noticed a pulsating hole on your right. It was tight but at the end lied a large chest, its lock was already broken.

As you moved to the south, you stumbled upon at least twenty or so of these budding slowly munching a giant amalgamation of corpses, you could see a trail of its rotten flesh littered around.

"Help....us...." On the very top of the amalgamation, a distinct body of a woman called for your help.

With all of your brute strength, you went hard on the buddings who paid little attention to your ruthless strikes.

fifteen minutes later, you took a heavy pant after all of these swipes. The Amalgamation extended a coil of arms to reach you before blessing you with a miracle of sort, the exhaustion was cleansed away in a heart beat.

"Thank you...kind traveler." their voices were soft and somewhat echoy "We are the failures of Vienshlan. When our master grew tired our existence, he banished us to this strange world. We exist without hope. Knowledge is our only gift to you, kind traveler. But we need some rest to recover our fallen sisters...these lands doesn't welcome the likes of us as it happened before..."

The failures started to weep.

"Such kindness...." The failure cried even more. The woman on top extended itself to reach you for a simple kiss on the forehead "...thank you."

They slithered away in a painful fashion as it was apparent by the trail of blood left behind by them.

In the horizon, you could see a giant black rock standing strong in the middle of the sea. the highest point was facing you. the best way to approach the rock was by reaching its lower end.

There were also a strange bunch of buddings in the shallowest area of the sea near the rock. they were imitating a ceremony of sorts using their ingested corpses. You felt like it was almost a wedding.

You chose to avoid conflict. There were few buddings lurking from the east side but you could easily outpace them.

On the very top of the black rock lied an emberless ash. Should you die, you will be reborn here.

A corpse was sitting near the ash, it contained a white soap stone and a shriving eye orb.

>Shriving eye Orb

A gift from a serpent of old to men, it trembles upon sensing any phantom who invades your world for your life.

as you moved towards the south, you saw a lone boat in the distance. A second late , you felt the ground shaking, a colossus of a budding rose from the sea, it shared the same height and width of that of a mountain. a booming voice radiated from it.

you extended a wishful dream to the giant. It extended a tiny part of itself to swallow it, it almost dragged you with it.

Somehow, you could hear a weep. It was deep and irregular in nature. Ioa has
regurgitated a slimy green dress from its inside. More buddings showed up, they formed a semi circle around you.

>Wear the regurgitated dress

>Regurgitated dress

The dress of the nameless bride of Ioa, prince of Coris. provides great resistance to fire and lightning due to its slimy nature, slows down its wears like a heavy armour.

The plagued lands of Coris suffered from great infertility. Kings, queens were chosen according to how fertile they were.

The young prince had defied the sacred laws of his land and married a foreigner, she bore many children for him and his kingdom. These children didn't belong to the releam of man...no, something more vile....


Ioa extended some sort of a slimy arm towards you, he offered you a slimy ring.

>Accept

>>21315

I doubt we're all that fertile, but alright.

Maybe accepting isn't such a great idea, who knows what marrying this thing will do?

>Ring of betrothal

A simple ring, Offer no nothing but fond memories and sentimental value.

The ground shook afterwards, Ioa and all the buddings started to melt in a slow fashion. A heard a sigh of relief escaped Ioa. In a couple of minutes, naught was left of them.

+50000 Soul

________YOU DEFEATED________

You took a bulbous green soul and tucked it in your box.

Soul of Ioa, Father of many

Soul of desperate prince, consume it to gain lots of souls. Or perhaps....

The prince of Coris was the last hope of his kingdom. Men were no longer able to bear a children and most of the women were too weak to bear a child if they were fertile in the first place. His kingdom would have died one way or another....

it was a long journey to the Ashen end . It was a good thing that you no longer need food or water. Otherwise, you would have perished long ago.

The failures were peacefully sleeping in the ruin's courtyard. You chose not to disturb them at the moment.

The savage of the black marches was sitting in a dim corner mediating around a handful of candles. while the Firekeeper was dipping her feet in a bowl of water, playfully splashing some on the floor.

She blushed even harder when you gently grabbed her hand to kiss her. You drew strength from the firekeeper .

You waited for them to finish. He sighed in relief before standing up.

He made an unmannered and a rude bow "Hohohoo! The bride of the fallen prince is here! I better pull out my best ears for this rare occasion!" he chuckled to himself.

When he saw your cold reaction, he frowned "No sense of humor? shame. All in all, you did well. These buddings have devoured countless men and women. Perhaps the true warmth inside you reminded him of his better days? It doesn't matter now, does it? " Again, he laughed.

"This sanctuary, i am grateful for you invitation." now, it is rare to witness a true fire. Now, have you brought souls to this old pyromancer?"

Neegel took 5000 souls from you in exchange for his services.

"This is not something lightly to give. No. I am giving you memories shared from my earliest ancestors molded by countless pyromancers throughout ages. Use it well..." He spoke with a serious tone as he conjured a small fire and handed it to you.

"Smother it." you do so in a tick "This fire is now your. When you are ready, I will teach you more basic pyromancies. For now a simple fireball will do."

"I am a stranger in these lands. I only dealt with the madman living alone in this abandoned village." his reply disappointed you.

You headed outside, by now, the failures have fully grown into a grotesque image. it was worse than before.

Dozens of dead faces smiled towards you "Kind traveler, we are honored by your visit....here...a small gift."

You took a suicidal dream.

She finally spoke "Beyond the Iao's sea lies fallen Coris. This land is in constant fighting; the nameless' bride children are in a stalemate with the now mindless Coris faithful knights."

She took a deep breath "Your dress will rally the nameless children by your side. A suit of armour is lost in the depth of the Ioa's sea...it belongs to Ioa's older brother. find it, wear it in fallen Coris and you will rally the faithful knights."

You ignored the pilgrims for now. You did find a dead pilgrim near an almost non existent road. You grabbed his twisted dagger and moved on.

A long bridge awaited you at the corner of the Ashen end. Pilgrims probably came from this place. it was left unguarded.

Both of his deformed hands were barbed to a long grey whip oozing black substance. Its hair was grey and wild almost reaching his sickly feet. His eyes scooped out. A black hole of naught replaced them.

The man shrieked as he went on all fours to kill you.

With all your might, you smashed the charging shard with your mace. the divine power inside caused the shard to wither in pain backing off momentarily.

He took a leap behind you and whipped you in the back. The slime covering the dress did absorbed some of the strike but you could still feel the burn. your swan dagger flickered but that was all.

He was starting to puke more of the abyss towards you.

Your backstep couldn't be more timed. you summoned a small fireball and threw it right at one of his hollowed orbits. It screamed in pain, accidentally whipping himself as he was trying to extinguish the fire.

When you were charging for the final blow, the shard howled in rage pulling out his whips. A gash of black blood showered the ashen ground. He was charging at you with pure anger, ready to plummet you to death with his stumps.

The mace started to glow as the shard was charging towards. After a courageous warcry, you smashed, every bone he had above his shoulders. He twitched briefly.

The shard was no more.


_________YOU DEFEATED________

+10000 Souls

You grabbed his withering soul and stuffed it in your bottomless box.

Twisted soul of Shard Othlom.

A malicious and corrupted soul of Shard Othlom, consume it to gain souls, or perhaps....

This shard has gave everything in his life to serve the dark, his family, years of blind dedication but most importantly, his very soul.

He was one of the few shards to survive the rite of the abyss. Deep into the chasm of Vorrem. His current husk was to protect the pilgrims in vital points of their long journey.


His whip was wiggling on its own for a while.

>Othlom's Whips [20 DEX required]

Grey Whips which previously belonged to Shard Othlom. They are imbued with dark. Use them on those with flesh and those with a blind dedication to the divines.

This Whip tend to corrupt everything holy around it. A terrible choice for clerics and their divine weapons.

You lied down on the ground panting after your recent feat.

>rest for a while

How about we throw away the whip, I don't want to be corrupt.

>>23747
I was thinking the same thing.

>>23747
seconding
I kind of like our mace as is

>>23772
>>23786
Do we have any means to store it somewhere and come back for it? Not on our person?

Do that, and just alternate to avoid losing the mace's divine status.

Never, NEVER through away a unique weapon.

>>23814
I forgot about our Bottomless box

changing decision to throw away >>23786 to storing it in the box

>>23849
Are we safe from it's effects when it's in the bottomless box?

>>23814
So don't throw it away, just keep it in the box. If it's safe in there. If not sell it right away.

>>23864
bottomless box works on hammer space physics so every item in there has theoreticall infinite amount of space between them

we should be alright

>>23747
>>23748
>>23762
>>23766
Something didn't feel right about the whip, you threw it in the bottomless box for now.

A couple of hollow pilgrims were coming from the shrine, they wept in sorrow upon finding the corpse of their protector.

They didn't attack you though. No, they were afraid of you. Instead, they chose to bury the shard near the bridge before moving on.


A glare of lightning caught your attention up north. After a bit of walking, you found Shard Livenne fighting the nameless cleric from earlier with two Scythe wielding hollows on her side.

"HERETIC!" Shouted the cleric as he threw a bolt of lighting on one of the scythe hollow but he was constantly pinned down by Livenne's dark orbs. He is armour has sustained a lot of damages, he was bleeding from a slice to the back.

>Side with the cleric
>Side with Shard Livenne
>Side with none, keep watching
>Ignore them, move along
>Something else?

>>23920
But would it corrupt the other items inside?

Othlom whip won't corrupt anything inside the box since every item reside in its own space.

>>23941
>Side with the cleric
if that shard masters electricity, it can't do much against us

>>23941

>Side with cleric

>>23980
>>24140
You chose to aid the cleric. Shard Livenne frowned at your presence; at least she knew about what happened in Pilgrim's peak.

Time to even the odds.

And that concludes our thread! thank you for participating. In hindsight, i probably shouldn't have started a new thread and simply stuck to the old one but oh well.

You turned against the Pilgrim who was more vexed to see you than the cleric himself "to refuse High shard Sordine's pledge....you deserve more than death."

With her dark medium, she summoned a handful of pursuers and a dark orb to annihilate you.

>Roll away, hit her with a fireball [15-20]
that worked well so far

>>28802
You started to conjure a simple fireball but naught was the result. You took a direct hit from a dark orb and five pursuers.

The slime covering the dress barely did anything. You collapsed on the ground with a gaping black wound visible to the world. Most of your front ribcage was gone exposing your vitals.

Your swan dagger spread its wings, it flew straight to shard's Livenne eyes, She wiggled in pain but unlike the Scythe hollow, she had a sense of self preservation. The shard crushed a small bone in her hand which took her somewhere else.

"NO!" shouted the cleric. Your grave injury gave him enough motivation to finish off the scythe hollow. He crawled next to you in a desperate attempt to heal you with his miracles. but it was too late.


_____YOU DIED______

You were reborn in the sanctuary's bonfire. The strength of the bonfire lured you here instead of some emberless ash.

You found the same cleric next to you, he looked perturbed "By the gods, you startled me. I sought guidance from the gods and they revealed that you were a vessel of ash bound to be reborn till the end of times...they guided me to this sanctuary. "

He sighed out of relief "I...buried your corpse. All your souls and belongings are safe and sound in your bottomless box."

>Say something
>Say nothing

>>28918
>Say something
"Thanks for the burial.
So, what are your plans now?"

>>28939
The cleric hid a small blush"How foolish of me, I didn't even give you a proper name!"

He made a dignified bow, kissing your hand "I am Brother Dannol. I thought i could purge the shrine by myself but i am no match for the darkness inside. The way i see it, their high priest is hiding a beast in the heart of the shrine. I will have to wait for the rest of my brothers and sister to stage an attack on it. In the meantime, I don't know where to go...."

>Invite him to the sanctuary
>Say nothing.

>>29014
>Invite him to the sanctuary
are we going to run out of room or something?

"O-oh, thank you. Well, I will make myself at home. i fail to see the sense in keeping a savage near a holy maiden but as long as he keep to himself, it is fine by me."

>>29027

>>29058

>>29154
You approached the fire keeper who was taking a nap. She quickly bolted out of her sleep when she sensed your presence "Vessel of Ash, our honorable guests have spoken of your feats. For better or worse, i think you are ready to started our journey.."

She briefly glimpsed over her ring "Seek Yurex, Champion of Ash, He was once a vessel of ash but he forsook his duty. You will find him in the far west, past the Pilgrim's woods. Speak to him, he will grant you enough knowledge to face the other vessels..."

As you drew strength of the firekeeper, you heard heavy footsteps from outside.

It was Heldenmutt, the plague knight of Coris.

"WHERE IS SHE?!" His roar echoed through the sanctuary. His rude altitude caught the attention of Dannol and Neegel.

He kept banging on the feathered door in a desperate fashion "SHE MUST BE HERE!"

Heldemutt calmed down upon seeing you in the dress "You....." he drew his greatsword in disgust and primed it towards you.

>Try to talk some sense in him
>Open the feathered door
>Attack him
>Let Neegel and Dannol handle this
>Something else?

>>29313
>Try to talk some sense in him
heldenmutt...

>>29395
"You are no friend of mine....bride of a traitor." He almost cleaved your head if it weren't for Neegel morphing your flesh to into iron via a simple touch. His mighty greatsword bounced off in an audible PING

You did feel an immense pain radiating from your head. It was a better option rather than the first one.

The man of god conjured a lightning spear and hit the plague knight in the chest, Heldenmutt laughed in return "Pathetic Whelp."

You could barely move your hands let alone move in your state; you were simply too heavy.

>Let them handle Heldenmutt

you had to defend yourself. You and Neegel threw a fireball in unison while the cleric slammed him to the corner with a burst of force.

The plague knight was impaled from the back by a sharp end of some rubble. He took off his helmet. He realized that this was his end.

"T...traitor." were his final worlds towards you.
