This is less than ideal, you'd been hoping for a servant without a will of its own and that doesn't seem to be what you've created here. Your replica scrambles away from you, rising swiftly to his feet but stumbling as he tries to support his own weight. Forced to support himself on the edge of the counter, he glares at you as though you were the one responsible for his present weakness. In a way you sort of are, but that's hardly the point. Far more important is the question: Do you really look that petulant when you're angry?

It feels strange to quite literally talk to yourself, or at least a shorter version of yourself. “Well, to summarize the last day or so I created you as an experiment to see if I could turn a copy of my body into a mindless golem which could fetch me things and maybe confuse my friends. Instead I got you, and I'm not quite sure what to do with you.”

“Created me?” He ask, or do you ask? You're going to need to figure out something to call this bastard creation of yours. “That's nonsense, I was born a citizen of Rhynia in the two thousand two hundred and sixth year after that great city's founding. To claim that a meager barbarian could possibly hope to create a man such as I is absolutely idiotic, and I would appreciate it if you would refrain from such wild nonsense in the future.”

You have a very bad feeling about this. “Your name wouldn't happen to be Mercurius, would it? Dux of Licae, Centurion in the Imperial Rhynian Army. Specialized in infiltration, sabotage, and urban combat with secondary training as a Vatis.”

Casting about the room, your replica seizes upon a small hammer from your workbench and raises it above his head. The gesture might be threatening in other circumstances. “How do you so much about me, scum?” Wrath drips from every syllable, though he falters as he glances about the room. “And where is it that you've imprisoned me?”

You're really getting tired of this charade. Focusing your will, you're able to manifest a mirror standing just beside you such that your replica, or Mercurius as he prefers to be called, can see himself and easily compare. “I know this about you because I am you. Rather, you are a vestigial remnant of a false memory which until now I've more or less ignored. You were never a real person. I created you an hour ago. I could just as easily destroy you in an instant.”

(1/2)

“The realm you reside in lies within the territory of one of my allies, a spirit of great power whom I've frequently offered aid. In this place, I am as close to a god as any individual mortal is capable of being.” That's not entirely true, you'd probably have more absolute power if you had constructed a palace in the void, but you doubt this version of you, or this glorified Rhynian training program rather, knows that.

Mercurius allows his arm to fall, the hammer coming to rest on the counter as he stares at his reflection in the mirror. With obvious reluctance he places a hand lightly on the curve of his horns, recoiling in horror but a moment later. “I'm a freak.” He mutters, more to himself than to you. “What sort of abominable monster are you, that you would create such a thing as I?”

An incompetent one, apparently. You hadn't really intended this, but nor do you really feel sorry for... yourself? He's not real, he's not even a halfway decent imitation. Which raises the question of just what exactly you're supposed to do with him. You could kill him, but that seems like a bit of a waste. You might also simply leave him here, but to do what? Lounge around and be miserable? That doesn't sound particularly useful.

I think we all need to have a serious discussion pertaining to the fact that our gracious quest master known as Soma. He is not the proficient writer we once thought him to be, in all actuality he is a hack and a fraud peddling low quality goods, he is equatable to the snake oil salesmen of yore. We have seen him throw out worthless and petty drama time and time again yet accepted his skill as a writer nonetheless, we suck in his scenes of mindless violence like a starving calf does his mothers teat, we do this even though it is obscenely obvious to even the lowest of the common plebes that violence could be written by a third grader. For far too long have we debased ourselves reveling in simple adrenaline evoking scenes and suffering through mindless drivel between. I say it is high time that we demand of Soma a higher quality quest and that he should be held accountable for his poorly thought out setting and plot lines that are so blatantly come up with on the spot. I personally have spent several weeks deep within the bowels of the beast known as the ircabal and in my times there I have gathered evidence which leads me to believe there is a origin point for all the flaws which our quest master has. I propose that soma is a autisitc pedophile lacking in the common moral fiber that binds upstanding society, I assert this to have been the driving factor in his early leave from home as he had made unwelcome sexual advances upon his underage sister possibly even raping her. The resulting social backlash and banishment from his normal everyday life would be an extreme stress factor to someone with autism, leading to him seeking a way to vent his frustrations in some way. That way is Banished Quest; Banished Quest is an autisitc pedophiles emotional vent enabled and allowed to continue for far too long. I thank you for your time reading all of this my fellow questing individuals and I welcome all constructive criticism.

I feel like Fulvia might see this thing as a more legitimate Dux than us, I don't want her to find out about this.

So is it smart to put a Rhynian Centurion in the same room as Fulvia?

We technially have the same rank, just from the training, but in this case we would have the bonus of both seniority and the fact that fulvia likes us. In fact since neither of us were employed by the rhynian army or government neither of us have rank

does the clone have the same magical ability as us? even the same magical potential or is he just full of what the training program gave us

>>553554
Pretty sure that part of magic is will/meditation, so maybe not.

Optimistic

Reaching out through the brooches, your mind alighted upon the vast, incomprehensible mass that composed Fulvia's inner workings. {Could you join me in the workshop? There's something I want to get your opinion on.}

Her response came immediately, lacking the overwhelming force it usually carried. {I'll be with you in a moment, as soon as I've finished making the preparations Mortia requested.}

You severed the connection with that, turning your attention once more to your replica. “I'm having a friend come down to take a look at you, hopefully she knows more about this sort of thing than I do. In the meantime...” You trailed off, examining this other version of you in a little more detail. You wonder, has his self-image altered itself to reflect what your own was upon your first meeting with Fulvia, or did he know see himself as an exceptionally tall human? That's how you seemed to perceive yourself in the strange simulated reality the device created for you.

Channeling your vys, you began to rot the flesh from your replica's bone. However you stopped short of replacing the flesh you destroyed upon realizing that your vys was affecting not only his body, but your own as well. A fair portion of your throat had simply fallen away slapping wetly against the floor of the workshop and revealing twitching tendons and bloody muscle underneath.

You had an increasingly bad feeling about all this, but to confirm your suspicions you tried to heal yourself without doing the same for Mercurius. As expected skin crept across the bared expanse of gore where his throat used to be, his healing mirroring your own exactly. There was no difference between the two patches of healed skin, his self-image didn't seem changed by his selective memory, as it were.

Fulvia passed from the alchemy lab into the workshop only a few moments later, just as you'd finished destroying any trace of the discarded flesh. Mercurius was still staring at you with an expression of abject horror, a hand resting on his neck, but you paid him little mind.

Your artificial companion paused in midstep at the sight of you and the other version of you standing in the same room together. If she had a face with which to make expressions, you're sure she'd be quite confused right about now. However, considering she had only a single, glowing blue eye in the center of her head and no mouth to speak of there was no outward sign of the chaotic flurry of thoughts running through her head in this moment.
(1/2)

{Duces Mikhaels, is this what you wished my opinion on?} You note that she'd switched to the plural, apparently for now deciding to recognize both of you as her commanding officer.

Mercurius took issue with this idea. “This barbarian is no officer of Rhynia!” He shouted with all the fire and passion of a man filled with righteous indignation. “He is a mere impostor to the title of Dux, I am your true-” Whatever else he had to say, it was lost in a fit of coughing which you were likewise forced to suffer through, the effort of silencing him necessitating that you likewise be silenced.

It seemed as though there was nothing you could do to him that you did not also suffer. However, unlike your replica you had the communication brooch. {He's an experiment gone wrong. I thought I could create a golem by making a facsimile of my actual body and enchanting its shell with a runic array designed to generate a soul.}

Fulvia stands at the opposite end of the room in silence, apparently still struggling with the idea that there could be two of you. {My knowledge of enchanting is limited, but the creation of an artificial shell was the goal of my Creator. Based on records relating to my sisters, I believe that you have likely created an artificial shard by condensing a measure of husk and stripping it away of its impurities. By doing so with the undamaged husk of a living creature, you have likely created a form of golem we referred to as a homunculus.}

Your throat was terribly dry, but for now you ignored that fact. {And what sort of properties do homonculi have? Are they dangerous?}

{Not exceptionally.} She didn't seem wholly confident in that pronouncement. {They have a worrying tendency to try and replace their creators, but are limited in the extent of their power and often rendered mentally deficient by the method of their creation. However, you appear to have made a mistake in the process of creating this other version of you. A homonculus should not maintain any metaphysical attachment to its creator. I am unsure what procedure one should follow in the event that such attachment is present.}

Writin' for questions.

To be honest, I'm not entirely certain what the goal of >>553707 is. Just to clarify, you want to destroy your copy's shell and then try to make a copy of Devika's presumably without copying her body as well?

>To be honest, I'm not entirely certain what the goal of >>553707 (You) is. Just to clarify, you want to destroy your copy's shell and then try to make a copy of Devika's presumably without copying her body as well?

Yes. Replace the shell of the golem, though I think support was predominantly for >>553754, which is less overtly destructive. I want to be heavy handed because it's probably easier

>>553807
But I mean, then you'd just have two Devikas, one of which is a soulless corpse.
If you're trying to make a living sex doll, that would work but it ain't happening.

Mercurius has recovered, but a sharp look keeps him silent. He folds his arms moodily across his chest, glaring at you from his position by the door. It's fortunate he hasn't figured out that just as you're able to manipulate your realm, so to is he. At least, that's your present assumption. Considering every effect upon one of you is mirrored upon the other, that would seem logical.

{What happens if we just leave things like this?} Your mind brushes against Fulvia's own, brief snatches of alien sensations filtering through the connection. {Would I be at risk in any way, shape, or form?}

She carefully steeples her metallic fingers, actually considering your question for several seconds. {I am not aware of any case in which a connection of this sort was formed and allowed to persist. Most of the records I have presently available only theorize that a mistake such as the one you've made might be possible, but there are no accounts of it happening in truth. That being said, aforementioned theories suggest that the state would eventually lead to the fragmentation of not only the homonculi's shell, but the creator's as well. It would likely be slowly cracked and torn apart by the stresses placed upon it by reality.}

That doesn't sound good, it sounds like it would lead to first a gradual weakening in what defines the self and then eventually death. {What if I destroyed his shell, would that destroy the connection?}

{Perhaps, but I can offer no guarantees.} Fulvia's glowing eye suddenly contracts, until only a dim blue point rest at the very center of her head. {However, I have reason to believe that the destruction of the shell may lead to undesirable effects upon the artificial shard. There are accounts of containment breaches in laboratory settings leading to the deaths of hundreds of researchers as the energy contained within the shard is released in the form of a violent burst of vys. The details regarding such events are not readily available, but logic would dictate such a large release of energy in so small an area could lead to rupturing the fabric of reality.}

Perhaps that is why the Rhynians disavowed the practice of directly creating husk. Too difficult to contain, and dangerous if compromised. On the other hand, Rhynian generators are not exactly safe. You've seen them rip open roaming portals into the void which spit forth untold horrors and destroyed entire villages. The idea of something being more dangerous is almost hard to imagine. {What if I replaced his shell, say with a copy of Devika's?}

>tfw you realize Soma isn't going to survive in the real world with his bunk studies and dual majoring in non-stem academic nonsense

I really hope your book doesn't fail Soma.

Fulvia doesn't seem to understand the question at first, but gradually she's able to parse what it is you're asking. {I know of no method by which what you describe could possibly be accomplished. Perfectly recreating the entirety of one's body is a task of immense difficulty. Picking apart the millions of strings which define an individual to select only those which define the shell and then copying that aspect of a person and inserting it into the body of another would be impossible even for Rhynia's most skilled enchanters.}

So you've created a walking weapon of war, upon Mercurius' death it seems he'll likely destroy everything within a fairly large area and potentially cause a breach between the base reality and the void. You're... not quite sure what to do about this if you're being honest. That's not even addressing the fact that if he dies, you'll likely die as well should you leave matters as they are now.

>Try to disenchant his shell, by severing those strings you added in.

As other Anons have stated, I'm getting two degrees. A Bachelor's of Arts in History which I've finished, and a Bachelor's of Science in Mathematics which I'm working on. I've finished all of my university core, and I think most of the lower level Math classes, so I made the bad decision of taking 17 hours of upper level Math.

But he is linked to us. So here's what we should do:
When we ascend, our soul leaves our body. We should force him to ascend by mimicking the ascension we perform in his soul. If it ends up getting sucked into the afterlife or whatever then so be it. Then, once his soul is safe and sound outside his body we can disconnect and shatter his shell which is what's linking him to us. Once that's gone we can do whatever we want with the artificial shard and husk. For example, we could put the artificial shard into a clone of Devika's body, as was mentioned by >>553817

>>554256
What's the career?
What's the current coursework in maths that you're doing?I'm curious, and it might let me feel smug about myself.

Supporting both of these:
>>554275
>>554283

>>554283
>>554231
Imminently reasonable, aside from the fact that it's Husk which is burnt up. His Shard will still be exposed by all of that being burnt up. And as a non-Suryan shard, no one will come to collect him. Leaving us still with a massive boom.

>>554283
That's a decent idea, I'll support it.

With the addition of gathering our companions. We're going to need a source of husk, we're capped at ~30, I think.

>>554293
>>554289
Oi. Reconsider. The Shard being exposed is what causes the massive explosion. No husk covering will leave it exposed, just as burning all of our husk in Ascended mode would've left our shard exposed to the plucking vultures that serve Surya. Train go boom.

I'll probably shoot for becoming an actuary, predicting when people will die for a living.
I'm taking Methods of Statistics, Abstract Algebra, Differential Equations, a weird geometry course taught by the head of the math department which thus far has just been working through all of Euclid's Elements and proving his propositions. Supposedly we're going to get into non-Euclidian geometries at some point, but we'll see. Then my final history course, a senior capstone class which only entails doing a shitload of reading and writing a thirty page paper by the end of the semester. So it's an easier course.

>>554350
Soma you cant even predict when the quest will end or when you will run.

I mean, we do still have a bunch of gems to contain his shard with.

I'd like to interject for a moment and say that we have something like 35 max vys right now.
And you want to ascend.

Hello fellow questers, seeing as you liked my last informative post so much I have decided to make another. It has come to my attention that quests are on a downward trend as of late. I believe I have found the root cause to this spiral of madness, from my findings all signs point to our dear soma as the culprit. He seems to have abused his power as a qm to raise a group of violent shitposters, and then unleashed them onto /tg/ by purposefully writing slowly and not running when he said he would. These shitposters would go on to make the disgusting cesspit known as /qtg/, which is well known for being a blight on the questing community as a whole. These monsters antagonized the /tg/ community, flooding their board with offtopic and useless threads leading to quests being cast out. With the creation of /qst/ your average quester such as you and I were locked into a cage with the beasts of shitposting. All of these things having been orchestrated by soma have lead to the slow and painful death of questing and the quest community, with quality of writing dwindling and the communities IQ having dropped severely. Truly soma is a deplorable man who must be dealt with in some way. Recently I had decided to do some thorough research into the beast and I have discovered this. (See Image) Soma has done other such acts before on various other websites, on the site to which this profile belongs soma has ruined the community with his subpar writing ability and following of mindless drones willing to defend their slave master. This site was once a bastion of well written original content and boasted a calm and courteous community, at somas arrival his taint slowly but surely destroyed this purity. Bringing in off topic posts i.e. gamergate, they drove off all remnants of the former community and left the site a hollow shell of its former self. But it's not too late for us, if we drive off this monster and his kin we may yet save quests before they slip into the event horizon.

Alright...
ROOOOOOOOOOOLL ME 3d10+20 (+4 from Force of Will, +8 from Child of Surya, +2 from Earth Vatis, +6 from Master Fire Vatis) vs DC 43 (Base 35, +4 from Exhausted, +4 from Resistant Material)

I'm afraid the rabbit hole goes much deeper than that. You see, over the last few months I have been investigating the source behind the staff's decision to create /qst/ as it could only have been a deliberate attempt at ending questing as whole. Why else would an executive decision be made that would so obviously splinter the questing community? But I digress. Over the months of my investigation I managed to pinpoint one such moderator by the name of RapeApe as the root cause for this shift and have been tracking him closely. He's made a few waves throughout the 4chan staff and other parts of the internet and has rarely been known to make good decisions.

I'll spare you the details of my investigation, but know that of the many trails that I've followed and rabbit holes I've dove into, one such internet community came to mind after reading this anons post. A small writing community for aspiring authors; I couldn't discern the reason why Ape would be visiting such a place and eventually marked it off as a passing interest of his. But after reading this anon's post and recognizing the site, I felt a chill run down my spine. I wanted to chalk it up to coincidence but reminded myself that coincidences don't exist. I went back to the community found Soma's profile that the kind anon mentioned in his post and hacked into the account (a simple enough affair; the man's password was his sister's name). Going through the private messages I found this little message sitting in his inbox from several years ago (pic related). As you can see, in October of 2013 RapeApe approached Soma on this quaint little writing community (which he was apparently in the process of ruining) offering some kind of compensation for performing a job that would take years to complete.

Please keep in mind that this was about five months before Soma began Banished Quest, giving him ample time to build his setting. Further analysis of other results of my investigations revealed that the two have been in contact a number of other times, with the subject of money transfer occurring more than once (despite my strong disdain for this cancerous moderator, I have an even stronger disdain for the process of doxing others and won't be releasing any account details). With the previous anon's analysis in mind, I think it can be safely concluded that RapeApe paid Soma to utilize his apparent skill in disrupting communities by creating Banished Quest in an effort to kill questing once and forall.

>>554680
Thus far, he’s been fairly successful. Soma’s proven ability to raise a following of rampant shitposters and encouraging others to follow in his footsteps in the creation of other low quality quests has resulted in the creation of /qst/, as masterstroke in the death of questing as a medium. Most recently the chaos created and managed by Soma has allowed Ape to gain enough power to ban questing from all other boards, which can only serve as yet another nail in the coffin. While RapeApe is certainly the mastermind behind the downfall of this wonderful medium we all know and love, it is certainly apparent that Soma just as great a contributor as he. I hope you all find this information useful to your own prosecution of Soma, as I must return my focus to the Ape.

These men and their colluding honestly make me sick to my stomach, luckily the world has men like you to save us in our time of need. Honestly Soma and this man RapeApe are a plague upon society itself, not just questing, by merely existing they make us worse as a species. With RapeApes meddeling and malicious intent and Somas inferior writing and following of reprobates they could full well destroy it all if left unchecked.

Oy goy, why is the expenditure from rounds counted before we even start trying to fuck with the guy. If anything we should be at 29 before the roll, then at 19 as we finish our task. We can't be exhuasted from being below 20 until we've actually ascended, and why would we dick around doing nothing for 2 rounds before then?

Did you not read the last-
Oh, right, I haven't posted that yet. Okay, that makes sense. Your confusion is justified. So, ascending usually cost 10 vys, or y'know, 10 max vys. This time it cost 20 because you had to spend enough not only to make yourself ascend but to make Mercurius ascend as well.

>>554697
It costs 10 though, which is why Soma was saying we're at 19/19 and we'll be at 9/9.

No there wasn't. We were exhausted fluff-wise, not crunch-wise. This is a new thing.

THE JEWERY NEVER ENDS

Not a drop, he is totally reliant upon your husk/vys.

>>554720
>we have to spend to ascend Mercurius
So can we take the difference out of his husk? He has a bunch to spare.

>>554741
So let us leech his husk to fuel the ascension. And don't say he doesn't have any, because he obviously has memories you jew.

>>554746
>So let us leech his husk
boom

>>554741
But he does have his own husk which we can drain once ascended, no? There is no way he could prevent us, even if we had to roll. There is no way you gave him all our modifiers. He only has the memories of a minor fire vatis. Right? Right!? His shell doesn't really need husk to exist, right!!?!?!?'?!

Soma is jewing us again as expected.

>>554750
Wouldn't he leech our husk if we leech his husk?
...fuck this is stupid can we just kill him

You voted for a clone you got what you asked for.

>>554793
Nah I voted to make an actual golem. I though this idea was retarded and pointless from the beginning

>>554793
Actually pretty sure that this is some big asspull, like almost any nat 3 so far.

>>554804
What are critical failures supposed to be if they're not asspulls?
