So far in the catacombs you have passed through a strange room with a pool covered in odd growths. Beyond that chamber you entered a passageway with now empty graves that had strange writings and magical glyphs.

You were able to translate the writings and some of the glyphs. Making a worrying discovery and maybe just maybe. You'll figure out why those corpses need the glyphs and what those newer undead glyphs do...

roll 1d100 to piece together the reason for the glyphs from the translations you performed.

Another 1d100 for actions as usual.

While you were successful in determining the reasoning behind the special corpse treatment your attempts to see why the undead didn't like the blessings failed...and you see incoming undead who have detected your presence.

They do not appear to be friendly.

The reason for the glyphs is due to the kind of undead the corpses would turn into. Which were not typical zombies or skeletons but something much worse. Special undead. Undead who are smarter and have special abilities. That is the reason why the glyphs were placed around their graves. It was to prevent their animation to unusual undead.

From what you could figure out this includes wraiths and elite undead like Knights or Magi. Which means those skeletons that are approaching you...are skeleton soldiers. They would still know how to fight properly and are now undead meaning they are much tougher and stronger. This bodes very bad news for you but at least you know these catacombs have unusual undead creeping about inside.

Your attempts with the blessings...for whatever reason you cannot decipher the undead do no like it. Probably due to your own experimentation which lured out the undead deeper in. No doubt very unhappy with a living being throwing blessings around willy nilly.

Time to get moving through the tunnels. find where the least undead are coming from at try to vaguely keep heading upwards. Maybe use our powers to close the likly large crypt doors behind is to help us know where we have been but also cut of the undead. Use the bots to help if needs be. Then carve up some wards into the bots. Anti-undead bots are a go.

you decide its best to run back to the pool. Good thing to because as it turns out the bots and skeletons with you let them passby. They in turn ignored them.

They however did keep chasing you. Even as you entered the chamber...however as you got closer to it the more they slowed down. Finally when it came to the entrance of chamber itself they halted for mysterious reasons. Guess they don't like the place then huh?

Alas that did not last you further beyond you saw another skeleton approaching this time it had masks floating around it and it wore a robe. When it pointed at you the other skeletons entered and fanned out attempting to encircle you. The speed they moved...was insanely fast.

No flesh could of sustained that speed without severe damage...alas they are nothing but a bunch of bones animated by magics. Their leader meanwhile the robed skeleton started to chant additional magical energies infused itself into the skeletons and you could see magical fluctuations from it as things started to form around it.

>Armor to Power+Speed+Shielding mode

Grab a glue grenade and/or an oil (slick'em) grenade if we've got one on hand (probably in the bandit explosives). Full fucking ammo drum TO THE FUCKING FACE on the skeletal mage. If that doesn't work, then try stabbing them with our magi-psi dagger.

As soon as AMY detect that any of the soldiers are making a move, drop the grenade at our feet and jetpack away up towards the mage to try to get into melee with the aforementioned psi-magic dagger.

If the 'nade we find is oil then that's best. Use their speed against them and make them go wild and out of control when they try to attack us. We've got the jetpack for maneuvering.

That trick is hilariously effective against undead Knights and their ilk. Quite of few of them refused to die for honor related reasons.

Its so common its actually a bit of a joke among the undead.

They are however some scary sons of bitches even being able to eat a smite to the face before cleaving you in half. That whole 'refusing to die' schtik creates some of the most ungodly tough undead ever. fuckers could eat a smite from the gods above and still keep swinging.

Naturally for that same reason they are often some of the worse undead you could possibly face because of just how hard they are to kill again even by undead standards.

Its actually due to those reasons is a biggest reasons why Undead Knights are so notorious. As its a very common thing among them.

Rolled 60 (1d100)

Actually, let me fine tune this a little bit for flair, again if diplomacy doesn't work.

>Armor to Power+Speed+Shielding mode
>Equip the DoubleMag Full Auto Shotgun with Old World Rounds
>Shoot the Robed Skeleton

Grab an oil (slick'em) grenade if we've got one on hand (probably in the bandit explosives). Hold it out in front of us and deliberately start to pull the pin.

"Alright then you skeleton-loving ancient magi sonnuvagun. I just got shoved in here for interrupting a certain lovely lady, and don't mean any trouble. Now this grenade i've got in my hand is a special piece of tech I picked up from a bandit's black-tech stash. It's actually so old you might recognize it. Suffice to say it'll do more than enough to annihilate both myself, you, your knights, and anyone else within about a mile diameter of this point in this goddamn catacomb.

Now if you don't stop your fucking chanting and tell your goons to chill out right now this pin comes out and you get to kiss any hope of furthering the pursuit of your magical studies goodbye. So how about instead of that we talk it out, boss?"

If he stops chanting then good, we can diplomance. If not then we do the following:

Full fucking ammo drum TO THE FUCKING FACE on the skeletal mage. If that doesn't work, then try stabbing them with our magi-psi dagger.

As soon as AMY detect that any of the soldiers are making a move, drop the grenade at our feet and jetpack away up towards the mage to try to get into melee with the aforementioned psi-magic dagger.

If the 'nade we find is oil then that's best. Use their speed against them and make them go wild and out of control when they try to attack us. We've got the jetpack for maneuvering.

"...You...Psion?"

Holy crap that actually worked? The old bag of bones actually has a mind in there...a very strange mind but a mind nonetheless.

"So...Guess your willing to talk then," this time you speak. The skeletal mage however does not reply...ah thats right it doesn't doesn't have a mouth to speak out of or maybe you don't share a language given how old it likely is. So you communicated psychically then.

Interesting..the undead do have mind.

"Not all...mindless ones don't. Those like the skeletons over there...in a way. The rest however do."

"So anyway a psion can be a necromancer to create psionic undead?"

"...You have no need for the dead you just enslave others to your will. Create Psi Zombies."

"Holy shit that is a thing?"

"Psi Zombies...nasty. Still smart you see...just enslaved...mind is crippled much better then any other kind of zombie in terms of average intelligence."

"Wow you are pretty smart...so how about not killing me for instance?"

"Living not welcome. Leave or we kill."

"Well you see...that is going to be rather hard. I sorta got trapped here by an angry necromancer."

"Then you die," says the skeletal mage becoming hostile once more.

"WAIT I ain't finished yet."

"...Continue then."

"So the necromancer who threw me in...doesn't know about all the entrances right?"

"Which necromancer?"

"...The one with dark hair and big tits? I didn't catch her name."

"..."

"Don't know?"

"Do not pay attention to such details."

"...Well how about other exits then?"

"Necromancer likely knows of other exits. All exits are sealed...only the vampire knows how to get out."

"So you guys never thought about breaking out?"

"No reason human. We do not feed...the vampire does it must have a way."

"Never thought about breaking out?"

"Just because its sealed doesn't mean we cannot leave. They are old and unmaintained. Not hard to get out...have little reason. Some entrances no longer even function. Not hard to get out even for mindless ones."

"So where is these...unshielded exits?"

"..." The skeletal mage raises its bony hand and points down the passageway you all came from. "Follow the mindless...they gather there the most heavily...near the surface that is. Don't go deeper...wrong way. Mindless gather in the most dangerous place deep in that is..."

"So I will have to fight my way through the mindless then?"

"Yes...or challenge the Gatekeepers and a Doorkeeper."

"Gatekeepers?"

"Yes...must acquire the piece held by each...then you may got to a door and challenge the doorkeeper. Get passed the doorkeeper and you will be freed."

"Fuck that doesn't sound easy."


>>821128
One thing you might wanna consider is using that boon for that or playing a character with ancient ties. Unlike the Living...the dead have such a long memory indeed. You could potentially recruit some of their old kind that way in such a game. Though I suppose...this is also technically true in a sci fi game. Really it works in both.

"Why do I have to go about this...why don't you have to?"

"...We own this place now and all we got to do is overpower the gates. You are weak...and living. Those are all your options."

"...Any other way then?"

"Death."

"...Sounds like a test by that necromancer."

"...Not unknown. Force potential apprentice to prove themselves in here...they either succeed or die."

"The vampire doesn't sound like its part of the test."

"Indeed...a potential loophole...or unexpected problem."

After that the skeleton mage gathered up its soldiers and they marched back down the passageway.

If you encounter them again or those like them they are unlikely to be as friendly...

Now in theory....theory if we seal ourselves up, cover ourselves in blood and guts totaly we should be able to just waltz up to the exit and blow our way out....but this is really risky as any smart undead will recognize we are different.

Unlikely, unless they are REALLY far gone ones. Undeath is not kind to the mind and often the reanimating can cause problems too. The problems often get worse as time wears on and often new ones develop.

Some poor bastards don't even remember why they refused to die or even who they are.

As for finding the vampires, not my first choice. I think it's the most dangerous of our options. It's the most likely for us to be able to deal with peacefully, but that ain't saying much and if it decides we'd make a good snack we're screwed.

Both books had a bit of info on them. The spellbook stating vampires are some of the best users of Blood Magic out there and can be extremely dangerous.

The bandit book had more details about them. Stating they are a bunch of literally bloodthirsty who act like they are a bunch of blue blooded bastards. They are one of the more common undead because of their preying upon humanity. Bandits are not a big target for them due to all the drugs in their system. Problem is some vampires are addicted to their drugged blood for the same reason others are disgusted by it. According to the bandit book the best weapon against vampires is fire, stakes, solar grenades, Sunlight, special poison, and special ammo cocktail made by Teks.

Bandit book even as strategies against them but should it be a Vampire of the Old World they say your pretty fucked unless you got some serious hero support. Bandits go through quite a bit of trouble to often quite literally burn out vampires because of the damage they can do to their ranks. At least undead ghouls as the book states have decency to wait till your dead. Vampires are the kind of undead assholes who still come for you when your alive and kicking.

Book goes on to describe how most bandits don't have anything against their dead being taken as its pretty common for their dead to turn into undead, but they don't take it well when undead come for them while they are still alive. Hence the hatred for things like vampires.

Given how much some bandits just LOVE setting shit on fire its not much a surprise that bandits often go out of their way to kill vamps. They make such pretty flaming humanoid torches.

When you asked Amy about them she was silent for a bit before speaking.

"Vampires are bad news...very bad news depending on how strong their bloodline is and how old they are. Even during the Old World they were often a terrifying foe to face. They have certain mental illnesses and when well fed enough they can appear to be alive. Allowing them to bypass even our best scanners. Vampires are organized into covens they are not fond of the silver, blood, running water, or say getting staked into the heart."

"They are not however easy to kill. They like other magical creatures can only truly be killed a certain way. Wounded, driven off, and even crippling are one thing, but truly killing them is another."

"Fortunately the vampires as their spread their bloodline weakens. Resulting in weaker vampires but there are ways around this problem. Thankfully those avenues are extremely difficult but the resulting vampire is much stronger then you would think."

"Age is like wine to a vampire. The older the better...but sometimes it can turn to vinegar. Such things are rare...but even other vampires hate them. You can easily tell if they are a vinegar because of their warped appearances. Many think those ones are the most dangerous...the true elder vampires."

"I know for a fact they are wrong."

Rolled 97 (1d100)

So...you /don't/ think the magic weapons we found will help us? We can't wield more than two of them at once, and one weapon we wield should probably be the magic/psi dagger we got before.

They stepped to the side because they had no reason to fight the undead. The undead weren't attacking them and hadn't even actually attacked us yet, and no one told them to fight.

>>816420
>All your getting is a few skeletons and androids carrying packs. They may be armed but undead are tough sons of bitches.
This implies that we can use our pack mules to fight if necessary, no?

Of course they don't care to help us, that would imply they have minds and free will. That doesn't mean we can't tell them to help us.

"Those vampires did not age like a fine wine...they turned into vinegar. The truly terrible ancient vampires? They still look human."

"Even if such a vampire is of bad blood...that aging. Can easily compensate for them fortunately a vampire with less pure blood is increasingly unlikely to age so well but it can happen. With regularity unlike what some vampires would like lineage isn't everything."

"It also doesn't help that there are ways...to create a new proper bloodline. The Necromancers know that secret...how to found a new bloodline. The Gods too apparently as some of the very first vampires were created by them."

"The newer foundings...tend to result from the Necromancers. Its why necromancers aren't very popular with vampires."

"Necromancers know some very dangerous secrets about them you see, know how to control, and even know how to create more of them so fucking well they can create an entire new Lineage!"

"...Hence why vampires unlike many other undead HATE necromancers. Necromancers in turn don't like vampires...because they keep turning their own people. Necromancers prefer to choose how that happens vampires are fond of taking that away. Much bad blood between Necromancers and Vampires."

"So wait...undead don't hate necromancers? I thought that was so because how necromancers create and control them? Says so in the books."

"No of course not. The very first necromancers were called necromancers because of their willingness to speak with the dead. How could the Dead hate someone who is actually willing to LISTEN to them? To even TALK to them?"

"So...is it really such a surprise that when the Necromancers ask for help the dead answer?"

"Can we truly fault them for that?"

"...Yet people consider them wrong. Consider them evil...vile monsters."

"Necromancers are in truth quite a chatty bunch. Its just people don't really like them very much even before they become necromancers...so they found people who is also willing to talk to them. So they happen to be dead...so what?"

"You know an awful lot about necromancers and vampires Amy."

"...That is because AI and necromancers actually have quite a bit in common. As for vampires...I have my reasons for knowing a lot about them too."

"So what do you think of be becoming a necromancer and creating psionic undead?"

"...Undead their minds are often twisted. I do not think they would make good psions...probably create some MAD thing. Not to mention their bodies are dead and often decay ridden. Psi is very dependent upon the body unlike Magic."

"As for Necromancy?"

"...The living do not like necromancers. Sure they may be interested in their services for talking to their dead relatives or help keeping the dead...well dead instead of undead, but that is all. They distrust necromancers often violently."

"The dead...they do like necromancers. Many of the undead too not all though considering vampires are an excellent example."

"Of course that was true back with the first necromancers...people saw the terrible power of the dead when they awoke. They wanted that power for their own...and some of them were not willing to follow how the other necromancers went about it."

"...Magic you see there are many ways to get a similar or even same result. So they FORCED the dead to wake...forced them to obey."

"That is however...not the original way. The first ways of necromancy were about asking the dead for assistance NOT forcing them like others would like you to think! That is a blatant lie often for progaganda purposes."

"The very first necromancers were those willing to talk to the dead...help pass on messages. Help them make sure their affairs were order so they can pass on properly...so they could sleep properly without worry."

"So is it such a surprise that when they were trouble...when they needed help the dead were more then willing?"

"The first necromancers were widely liked by the dead...but those who came later. Those who came into the profession for power...they twisted things. They tried to ruin things...but they did not succeed completely."

"Among the living sure...because they have short memories, but the Dead. Including the Undead have such terribly long memories. There is a reason why they have the saying 'We Do Not Forget'. They remember the old necromancers just as they remember the new. They tend not to like the new ones...but the old they will forever hold fond memories for."

"Its Easy to tell Necromancy if it follows the Old or New. Some would compare it to good and evil...but its rarely that simple. The fact is grey exists."

"The vampires do not care for such things...after all they tend to force people into becoming vampires. They hate both kinds of necromancers to them...they are all the same."

"But they are not. The living tend to forget that fact. Even as their holy people often take up the tasks that the Old Necromancers did...making it even harder on them."

"Old Necromancers...are so very few now. They do their more peaceful approach were not as combat powerful as the New Necromancers with their new takes on the old necromantic magics...so the old necromancers decayed just like the dead."

"Until...well they are so forgotten that few barely even know how the necromancers first got started. Often if they know that fact they do not know the rest of it. Now when people think of necromancy they think of tortured souls forced into dead bodies, they think of damned wailing spirits forced to stay into this realm, they think of twisted undead abominations. They think of necromancers leading armies of undead to spread darkness over the world. They think of their dead being defiled. They think of unholy energies animating corpses..."

"None think of the First Necromancers who communicated with the Dead. Who helped pass on messages. Who helped the dead sleep easy...and who asked the dead for help. Now who remembers them but the Dead?"

And so they shall! I mean, what are our guys armed with now? Clone firearms?

Yeah, it did cross my mind that the vampire might spare us out of curiosity. Not often someone seeks them out rather than the other way around. Unless they're a vampire wannabe, but we don't want to be turned either.

Although I don't see how we're going to hide our necromantic aspirations when we have skeletons following us around. This new information about vampires hating necromancers kind of changes things.

>>822309
Amy truly is a font of knowledge. Not only can this help compensate for our amnesia, she can share with us obscure knowledge like this fascinating information about vampires and necromancy.
Might have been smart to ask her before we asked a necromancer to teach us my bad

Amy actually knows quite a bit.

Good luck finding out more about her but Andy and the Shrouded One both apparently know some stuff about her you don't know.

Also kinda sad anons choose not to tease her anymore but then again having an Assassin Android threaten you can be a bit of a killjoy but it was more regards to keeping her powered.

Rolled 43 (1d100)

>>822514
To a degree. She is indeed being powered by the power armor...which begs the question what does the Shrouded One have plugged in?

Actually you would be surprise. You honestly can't really expect a whole lot given how badly fucked over infrastructure is. You also have to remember an amnesiac adventure would probably being asking her to do an awful lot not really knowing what she can and cannot do(especially as a new worlder who isn't familiar with old world tech especially an Advanced AI). Truthfully I am surprised anons don't ask or make all kinds of requests. If only to narrow down what she actually is and can do.

You got stuff that is literally RAMPANT, semi functional, and closed. That's it. Not a whole lot to connect into...wireless that is. Meanwhile an AI like Andy who is plugged into an assassin android he was designed to pilot can still do a whole lot.

Sure Amy can attempt to delve into the RAMPANT systems...but that is very unhealthy for an AI to expose themselves to RAMPANT like that. On the plus side she is unlikely to self destruct given how the Rampant systems are still functional problem is everything else.

Thing is though...Amy is quite the Shady AI and can do quite a bit...just look at the stuff she even ADMITS to covers quite a range.

Then there is stuff locked up in her data banks which by the way are compiled and encrypted. Advanced AI can store quite a bit of data even without outside assistance.

Rolled 42 (1d100)

>>822553
I am also surprised anons never thought to ask Shrouded One or Andy(who in particular knew things about her) about Amy.

Also a Survivor even a non amnesiac would probably have an awful lot of misconceptions about what an Old World AI can do or not. Especially an advanced one such as Amy even more so if they realized she was rather shady.

Its a common misconception that AI can hack and do all kinds of bullshit. Truth is it depends on what they know and what they can actually access.

Anytime I refer to the pool it should, of course, be understood to refer to both the pool and the growths.

You decide to bath in the pool...and quite contrary to what you were expecting it was actually quite hot. Amazingly soothing too...all your aches and pains just ebbed away. The strange growths inside were so soft and comfortable. You couldn't help but soak in it awhile...at least until you heard a cough and saw someone on the edge looking in at you.

"So...first time i ever saw bots from the Shrouded One and the undead of his girlfriend together with an unknown...living person. Who are you exactly?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"

"I am the one with a gun...and your butt naked in the pool of healing."

"Healing?"

"Why do you think it feels so good and why the undead hate it so much? You take a dip in there even if your more then half dead you'll be brought back to full health. Hence why the undead avoid this place...and these plants with amazing healing properties."

"..."

"Don't tell me you didn't know that? And decided to take a dip anyway?"

"Well...yup."

"...Really how the hell did you convince those two to lend you some forces? What are you hunting the vampire too?"

"Actually...I am here to collect treasure and prove myself to the necromancer so she will take me as an apprentice."

"...Okay you really are that stupid. My apologies I didn't realize you legitimately retarded."

"Hey now that is not very nice...who are you exactly? A vampire hunter?"

"No currently I am an Apprentice Necromancer and former Tribal Witch. I am here to take care of a certain vampire trouble. Before the Hunters come and decide to purge this place. That would be very problematic to the necromancers as this place is quite the precious resource."

"...Mind letting me out to get dress?"

"Ah so your a woman...and why thank you for the compliment."

You decide to dress while she watches and to see her reaction. She did not look away nor did she blush. If anything she immensely enjoyed it. She clearly doesn't get out much but is oddly shameless. Your not sure what to make of her. So you asked her some things while dressing.

"This place...is rich in undead energies. Undead energies greatly reduces the cost of necromancy particularly raising up undead, and increases the likelihood of special undead arising. You throw in items that can only appear in such areas and of course necromancers will love places like these. Naturally non necromancers hate these places for the power it bestows upon the necromancers and the kind of undead that thrives here."

"There is also all the intelligent undead who can prove useful, the rare undead you can recruit, and best of all the ancient remains of undead works. You go deeper down you'll see undead forges and other places of work. You can find glyphs that you can study...and different labs. Some undead some former necromancers places of research. I wouldn't be surprised if there was even a lich down here somewhere. All valuable and useful to necromancers."

"As for the pool and growths...honestly I don't know why such a thing formed here. What I can say is the pool can heal any bodily injury and soothes the mind. I been experimenting with it to see if it has any applications for the soul...I also use it for healing potions and other things I create. Thankfully the pool refills itself otherwise I and others would of been troubled."

"Now the plants...are very rare and possess very powerful healing properties. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck transplanting them elsewhere they die right away when they cannot be sustained by this area. I managed to find a few plants that can make the change so long as I make sure to water them with pool waters but well none of the others have worked out."

"The plants...make for amazing medicines and when I use the pool water along with my equipment, skill, and other ingredients i can make some very potent medicines. They fetch a very nice price and keep me in fighting condition even without the nearby pool. Especially the plants and fungi that have mental healing properties. You keep that kind of stuff stocked up and you can fling spells all day so long as you don't rely upon internal powers."

"The pool water itself has healing properties...but you have to have the right containers for it otherwise it weakens. I come here on a regular basis both to restock and to practice my necromancy."

By this time you were fully dressed and the necromancer was clearly quite disappointed the show had ended.

"You were smart about making camp here...the undead don't like it but don't expect you can pass just by hiding out here. The smart undead make patrols and forays. They'll notice you eventually and most of them are not friendly."

"Strange i met a skeletal mage I was able to talk down. He left after sharing some info.

Rolled 100 (1d100)

"...hm is that so? Well maybe you DO have some necromantic potential after all. If you can keep on talking the undead down you might just make it to the end."

"That necromancer you wanna apprentice under...she does not like having students. Very hard on them. Only one person ever passed her tests. Some necromancers say she would make for an amazing if very difficult teacher given how hard she is to deal with. Others say she is quite the shitty teacher given how much she hates teaching."

"What do you think?"

"She is a very hard teacher quite harsh and delegates work to the undead. If you can survive her teachings...you would certainly become something else."

"Thing is though...the only one who passed her tests? Was a necromantic genius with a very special talent for necromancy. All the others died. Every single last one."

"...So maybe this wasn't such a good idea."

"Well if you didn't piss her off too badly you could always give up and break the talisman she gave yo-you don't have a talisman now do you?"

"...Nope."

"In that case she is trying to get you killed. What the hell did you do to piss her off that much?"

"...Sorta interrupted her sexy times with her boyfriend."

"Boyfriend huh? I could of sworn the Shrouded One was female given how she checked me out before..."

"Damn and here I thought I finally figured out the Shrouded One's sex. I gotta give in one of these days and ask the girlfriend..."

"I tried that once she just went on and on about insanely gorgeous the Shrouded One actually is. Something about being so hot as to turn you gay or something."

"...Well guess that partially explains the clothing also not hiding ugliness."

"Wearing that kind of outfit means you got something to hide. Maybe your a mutant...maybe your bit too hot or simply just that ugly."

"Yeah...one day I will find out who the Shrouded One really is."

"Good luck with that the Shrouded One certainly likes secrets. Hence the bot usage among other shady things."

Okay so maybe your one of those people who are retarded at all things except for the ONE thing your amazing at. At least you have the excuse of brain damage from the getting mindwiped.

You decide to offer the witch necromancer help with the vampire hunt if she helps you with the apprenticeship test. She agrees while being oddly eager.

"The vampire...I think its an old one given its equipment and its somewhat starved. Hence why I want it dead...if I could kill that vampire I could have a sample from an Old Vampire! Any other time I would have to tackle a heroic vampire for something like that so this is...quite the opportunity for me."

"With its corpse I could make some nice breakthroughs and create some very nice things."

"Sounds dangerous."

"IF it weren't starved I wouldn't bother but its still very weak and the sun burns it."

"What do you know in general about the Vampire?"

"I know where it nests and its weaknesses. The Bloodsucker is called Count Krestle its actual name is Rob Fuzle but it changed it. It has the usual weaknesses but its weak to ranged. The old coot refuses to use guns and has just come out of a very long hibernation. My plan was to pin it down with some skeletal knights I have recruited and I planned to use undead soldiers to shoot until it dies."

"You sure the Knights can keep up?"

"They are not slow and the vampire is not in its best condition."

"With your help along with those things with you we might just be able to beat it. If you help me defeat I will naturally ensure you pass the test. I happen to know the best hideouts and where the gatekeepers are. I know both ways for you to choose from."

"Aren't vampires weak to fire?"

"As well as running water. I plan to trap the vampire inside a river of water I intend to circle around it. Problem is the spell takes some time to wind up but if I can place it the vampire wont have anywhere to go."

"Nasty...so wait how do you plan to defeat it?"

"Stake to the Heart. Silver Stakes to be exact if we weaken it enough it wont be that hard. That old heart...I can process it and the rest of the body into some good stuff once I finish examining it. Not easy finding a old vampire I doubt we will be so lucky as to find another so weakened. Its a shame its nightfall we will have to wait until tomorrow morning when it returns...strong-"

"KABOOM". The ground shuddered beneath your feat and you hear a shrieking sound.

"I don't think so," says a strange armored bald man with vampire fangs who just appeared among them."I just so happen to develop a taste for blood like yours," it taunts after finishing off one of the bandits.

In response the bandits scattered and started firing at the vampire. Shoot some of their own guys as the vampire leaped into action. Right into the raised flamethrower of a Pyro who set the vampire aflame as it shrieked while tumbling into a wounded bandit. In response the vampire fed upon the wounded bandit even as he pulled the pins of the grenades cluster he has on him.

That was when the explosion rang out.

The Pyro proceeded to charge into the dust flames leaping as it threw some fire grenades to add chaos into the mix. The rest of the bandits meanwhile retreated a bit and shot at the vampire when it appeared.

"A lure for undead may not be such a good idea."

>>826889
As it turns out you DO have Anti Vampire shells in two kinds. 1 Is called Vamp Bane and the other is Vamp Kill. Naturally there were quite a few incendiary shells given how much bandits love FIRE.

So you brought out your shotgun and looked to the necromancer.

"...Lets go help the bandits the more living bodies we have the less inclined the vampire is going to be to eat one of us."

"I like the sound of not getting eaten."

With that you swiftly moved out and started to shoot at the vampire.

Meanwhile some of the bandits nearly fired at your forces until the diplomat noticed you again.

"Ah its YOU again? How the hell...why are you here?"

"To deal with a vampire," you state simply before shooting at the vampire with fire shells to keep it toasty. The necromantic witch meanwhile started to chant her spells as the skeletons unleashed their spells and the soldiers started to fire. Meanwhile the skeletal knights started to advance towards the vampire in formation when wraiths suddenly appeared from below tearing at the vampire.

The vampire for its part had chewed through most of the bandits. Now there are barely a handful of them left and the vampire was doing its best trying to deal with the Pyro and the Tek bandit who was using a particularly nasty looking maul.

Your not sure how much time but you made sure to keep your distance not trusting the unholy speed of the vampire not being able to go faster. A good thing to as the vampire suddenly lashed out wounding the Tek bandit and bounding out of the way of a circle of whirling that suddenly appeared. It charged right at one of the last remaining bandits who instead of attempting to retreat kept firing while pulling out his melee weapon. The vampire however was not quite fast enough outrun the Pyro who unexpectedly was right behind it. That was when the pyro and vampire entered into a lethal duel. As the Pyro fought the Vampire with a flaming ax in one hand and a flamethrower in the other. Freakishly the Pyro did not bother to dodge friendly fire unlike the vampire as sparks hit the pyro both from the vampire's weapon and claws as well as friendly fire. The Pyro was unexpectedly holding off the vampire solo while the undead Knights kept the vampire pinned down.

You heard one of the bandits call out to their boss.

"Boss bastard took out the Tek's comm suite our shit is down! Plus I ain't sure how long Pyro can holdout."

That was when another female bandit spoke up.

"So long as Pyro doesn't run out of fuel she'll hold. I just need a good clean shot and I can stake the bastard with my Gauss Rifle."

So you kept on shooting and making sure to keep your distance. After awhile however you noticed that...fewer and fewer were still shooting. You also ran out of your fire shells and had to switch to vampire bane. Which turned out to not kill the vampire...but did hurt it very VERY badly. Your not sure what the hell was in it but it caused the vampire to start bleeding very badly. Which you noticed made the vampire finally react with some panic when it realized and it started to fight even more fiercely heading in your direction.

You responded by moving away and trying to keep shooting. That was when the few bandits remaining who had run out of ammo injected themselves with drugs, snorting stuff in vials, and chewing yet more drugs. They started to tremble and move with freakish speed with their melee weapons out as they closed in on the vampire. The new bandit reinforcements managed to delay the vampire and release some pressure from the Pyro whom you noticed flamer was starting to sputter.

That was when the Necromancer Witch threw out her newest trick as the skeletal magi had entered a formation with the witch. They chanted together and a wraith appeared in the center wailing increasingly louder as it started to breakdown. That was when the wraith shot out of the formation slamming into the vampire before imploding. slowing down the vampire as well as doing serious damage while strange energies sank in.

You can try. Vampires cannot cross flowing water after all. Technically it doesn't have to be too thick problem is a vampire could potentially use an attack to knock it across if it isn't thick enough.

Personally I'd prefer to try a Mental Treachery mind-whammy to throw it off balance, but we aren't certain that could even affect intelligent undead.

Wish we could help the bandits directly, we have some spare weapons. Problem is it'd be difficult to get them in their hands.

I really don't want to burn a fate on this. We should be able to get one more shot off with the VAMP BANE. I mean, we have 4(?) fatepoints left? We need to be more careful, especially since we have already burned through six fucking points.

You decide to unleash your elemental capabilities. After all the strongest psi magi ability you figured out was the elemental fusion.

In this particular case it was in the form of water. A flowing circle of it you attempted to create around the vampire preventing its escape. Alas the vampire somehow knew what you were about to do...and cast a spell.

Shit you didn't realize it knew spellcasting this is bad.

So bad in fact the wave of energy it cast out smashed itself through the skeletal knights forcing their animating magical energy to blast itself out of them. They radiated light internal for a brief moment as it escaped out of them and...they collapsed.

The vampire was able to break itself out that way...and right into the team up spell from the witch and skeletal magi. You gotta say that vampire had just flushed itself into a trap as a suddenly a sun appeared above causing the vampire to scream as smoke rose from its corpse...and the ground around it bubbled with water flowing. It tried to escape but it found itself stuck in quick sand a bog had formed.

The vampire realized it was trouble as it suddenly threw its weapon impaling a bandit. While with its other hand it collected its blood which it threw up into the air and chanted yet another spell. Or at least tried to as suddenly a saw a blooming flower of red and silver appear through its chest cavity. After it collapsed you heard a booming sound coming from the rifle of a female bandit who proceeded to blow the smoke from its barrel and gave it a kiss.

The vampire for its part appeared to be very dead...both due to the burns, bleeding out, many wounds and now large hole through its chest. In fact you could see its still beating heart pierced by a silver still smoking stake through several trees and deeply penetrating the last one. You could even see some charring and smoke rising from those holes in the trees.

Your legs practically gave out from under you as you realized the fight was finally over...thankfully you weren't the only one. The other bandits too had collapsed but the pyro and female bandit who took the last shot were dancing together in circles in the meadow.

The only other bandit besides those two who were dancing and their leader smacked one of the sitting bandits before pointing to the wounded/drugged ones. After that he head in your direction.

"Well well survivor...we really need to stop meeting like this. Though I suppose this does mean you returned the favor. Lucky you no longer owe Mister Neutral a favor."

You noticed the necromantic witch has since closed in on the vampire's still smoking corpse. Bringing out a kit while some of the skeletons start preparing a ritual around it and taking out strange boxes.

What do?

You decide to approach the Vampire's corpse. There the vampire had been dragged out of the mud and is surrounded by glyphs and lines forming a special formation. Skeletal magi were on the ends further expanding the formation and examining it closely to ensure no mistakes. There the witch prepared herself for the ritual.

When you asked about a small piece she threw a bloody vial at you inside of which you could see something floating inside somewhere.

After that the ritual went underway magical energies cackled and ripped itself into existence. The ground trembled and the vampire's corpse disappeared in black light. That was when the boxes flew into the black light as well. While others broke apart and what was inside them flew into it as well.

When the light vanished the formation also did so. Leaving nothing but a neat pile of boxes that were covered in glyphs and glowing lines.

Shortly after that you noticed bandit vehicles approaching. Who were hailed by the Mister Neutral and they stopped. Unleashing their forces who scattered into action. Their leaders meanwhile went to talk with the diplomat. While some bandits gathered their wounded and set up some security.

"no...what I mean is I wish to have sex with you," you say believing there is no way possible she could NOT miss it...alas you were about to be proven wrong.

"Ah sex is it? Yeah as a witch that is indeed often a problem people come to me for help for."

"..." oh she actually got it? HAHAH you might just stand a chanc-

"So here you go," she hands you a bottle of pills before padding you on the back in consolation. "Don't worry its a common problem among men..."

Thankfully your face was covered up because you were pretty sure there were tears coming out.

"...No i mean sex not..help with sex."

"Oh so you want to get laid!"

"YES!" maybe you really DO stand a chance!

"Well why didn't you just say so!"

"FUCK YEAH!" You are totally ignore the rest of it but you finally pulled it off!

With that the witch began to cast a super sexy that caused a strange sensation in your loins and a strange scent emerged that clouded your mind. Right when you were about grab the increasingly sex witch you felt a clawed hand grasp your shoulder and heard a sultry voice whisper into your ear.

"Hello...sexy. Been awhile since I last had fun with a psion...oh what wonders I can show you~"

"Well have fun you two," says the witch as she moves away and waves at you two while walking away.

"...oh COME ON nobody can be that thick..."

"She is," states the demon witch. "Funny she summoned me though...then again it HAS been awhile since I last enjoyed a psion and no I am not a succubus. This isn't about soul stealing if it was she would of summoned one of them instead of me."

You decide to chase after the necromancer witch hoping for a threesome.

"What is it now," asks the witch.

"Would you...like to join us?"

The witch in response looked over the demon witch who merely shrugged before looking back at you with a strange look in her eye. "...so you want me to fuck you too?"

YES EXACTLY. "Well of course...I tried with you first."

"..."

This time the witch is silent before looking at you strangely. "You are...very stubborn but no I do not sleep with men so easily. If I did that is how you end up a desperate single mother whore is who even willing to fuck a filthy mutant and sell her own children to bandits. Enjoy the demonic witch and you should seriously consider fucking bandits. They are also into long term negative consequences."

With that the necromantic witch left while the Demonic Witch chuckled as she proceeded to tear your clothes off. After that you well found out what it was like to fuck a demon witch...for a freakishly long time while your mind was somehow in a different place also getting fucked. It was like some kind of fucked up two for one fucking that left you feeling tainted, wronged, dirty, confused, and yet oddly satisfied. The Demon Witch only stopped long enough to drag you into the healing waters of the pool...before fishing you back out as to continue. The hellish sexual marathon only ended when the other witch came back.

The demon witch upon noticing her 'friend' thanked you for the good time before moving quite sensually to meet her friend while still naked. Upon getting close she gave the other witch a hug and a long deep kiss before vanishing. Leaving the other witch sputtering to the side. Probably trying to get the sensation of that disturbingly long tongue out of her no doubt heavily molested mouth and throat.

You find yourself thankful for not having been kissed and you feel an odd sense of dread of what a Succubus must be like...

I wonder what it would take to reach heroic tier. I hope we end up as a necromad, a necromancer wanderer. Go for a river Styx theme. Water magic and necromancy tricks. If we were in a Civ we'd be a kind of support combat hero. Buff troops with "water of life", wash our foes souls away in the river. Our PSI part helping with developing a cult and indoctrination over time and exposure.

A hero is made up of the following

Elite
Bad Ass
Something Special

Stir it in a pot and shove it in some poor bastard you got a hero.

That is sadly the easy part. Its a HUGE pain in the ass to upgrade a hero and it gets worse the stronger they become. But a hero with upgraded heroic abilities even if they only have a few are very terrifying foe indeed.

You have to upgrade your way to becoming a hero. Currently you only have the Something Special you don't have the Bad Ass nor are you a Elite. So you are only 1/3 of the way there!

Ok so missions...lots of missions to become a badass. Specifically similar ones to build upon a particular set of skills.

To become Elite high faction rep and once again lots of exp in that faction... Is it something like that? Build a skill until it's abnormally good?

Would it be possible to try and become something similar to Charon as a hero?

Almost anything is possible, but I don't believe that's feasible.

Unless you just mean generally becoming a psychopomp. Becoming THE psychopomp however is a different matter.

Speaking of aquatic psychopomps reminds me of Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. Now that'd be a cool inspiration for our heroic aspiration. Captain of the ship of the damned.

Ghost Ship Captains do exist and they are second only to the Ghastly Admirals of the Dead Fleets.

You decide to look into the gatekeepers and the doorkeeper. According to the witch you must take a special piece held by the three gatekeepers then you approach a door with those three pieces. The three pieces will make the Doorkeeper appear and once you get passed him the test will be complete.

The three gatekeepers can be found at the following locations

Flesh Sewers.
The Haunted Temple.
Crypt of Bones.

Inside each you will find one of the Gatekeepers if you can get its key together the three keys at any door to the surface will call down the Doorkeeper. Get passed it and you'll be free as well as completing the test.

Otherwise you must survive long enough for a rescue to come.

You have been told the directions to each and are ready to set out. The Witch warns you however that the Gatekeepers are very powerful and they are not alone. There is a gatekeepers Flesh, of Bone, and a ghostly one. Together they can give the living the Key of the Undead once its pieced together.

The Doorkeeper meanwhile...is something else entirely. It was once a holy guardian that has been twisted by the foulness of the Undead and the death of its God into an abomination of its former self. It is full of hatred, loathing, hopelessness, power and insanity.

Once you get passed the Doorkeeper the test will be considered complete...and yes its pretty much a suicide mission if your too weak. All the other necromancers use this kind of test as a finale test before graduation. The one necromancer requires it before she will even accept you as an apprentice. Real wonder why she only has the One.

Elite can be acquired by MAXING out a unit Class. If you accomplish it you will become Elite.

Reaching Elite is never easy.

Achieving Bad Ass requires Luck and Balls.

Acquiring Special Special requires well...something Special.

If you have all three you will be promoted into a hero!

You will gain Heroic Plot Armor, Bonuses, Abilities, Passives, and Traits.

Faction rep is amusingly not that important otherwise Independent Heroic units wouldn't exist.

I'm curious Genie...the Genie at the front of the rape train...where did it come from? Where did the train even cone from?

Are there any artefacts of the Genieverse batshit ancient and powerful the survived from the early mythical eras to the post apoc?

An unlucky Genie got strapped to the front of the rape train. That it is actually it. Not everything has some crazy epic backstory or something.Its been awhile for awhile the bloodsnows accidentally got it working again.

It ended up Glowy Joe's ride because only he has the bullshit luck that requires not getting raped by it and safely using it. Due to the Rape Train's abilities it is insanely fast and can RAPE holes into existence that it RAPES all the way to its Destination that it then proceeds to RAPE.

It originally came from a different reality and a certain ritual performed during the Fall was able to lure it here. It liked the Apocalypse so much it decided to stay.

There are such artifacts. Most is what remains from dead gods and dead civilizations, but not all. Technically there are some items dating back to the near beginning of the Genieverse itself. Such artifacts however nobody knows how old those are exactly, but the thing is they DO exist.

You even have artifacts older then the setting itself due to the fact it came from a different universe. Potentially this allows otherworldly artifacts to be ludicrously ancient by hopping between universes before they die.

Fun fact one of the reasons why the Shrouded One is interested in the old gear is because of the possibility it dates back to ancient dead civilization.

Naturally in regards to the stuff from dead gods, extinct aliens, and long dead civilizations can cover quite the range. Plus there is a lot of stuff people written about regarding that stuff so I wont bother talking about it much.

Now what IS special is those ancient artifacts dating back to the near beginning of the setting itself. Now the interesting thing about them is fact...they were purposefully created and some appear to be very mundane indeed.

An example is the Invincible Spear. The spear appears to be extremely plain and old...but for some reason it will not break. No matter what. The spear is so old nobody knows how old it is or how it was created.

The thing is however that spear...existed since the near beginning of the Genieverse itself. It was created from the Corpse of the First Gods who turned out to be no unkillable. Hence why they were locked away so many eons ago...the spear was passed down from god to god. Until it fell into the hands of the mortals because of its lacking power.

From alien to alien the legendary spear was passed down...until one day it was lost. Later it was forgotten...but the spear could not break.

So it passed through the eons occasionally making an appearance possibly starting a new legend or even helping in the rise of a new god. Until one day...those civilizations, aliens, and gods too are lost. The spear once more forgotten until it passes into someone else's hands...

The spear has witnessed it all and so much...from the very first battle for the Heavens. Passed Countless extinctions and godly events.

The Invisible Spear saw it all till Humanity itself arose and chances are Beyond too.

To those who used it the Invisible Spear could not be Broken and it contained a Soul near as old as the universe itself. You see it sorta developed one later on and sometimes that Soul doesn't mind teaching someone terrible secrets.

For the true power of the Spear is not the Material from which it was made...it is the Soul that bore witness to so much. Stuff even the most ancient of beings have long forgotten.

That is the true power and secret behind the Spear.

Is an example of some of those most ancient Artifacts native to Genieverse.

Another example is this. The Rod of Otogr.

Now it date back to the...an entirely different Universe. The Rod was wielded by unearthly beings and alien gods. It has since passed through quite a few universes and their deaths. The rod so far being smart and lucky enough to get out before the deaths occur.

The thing is however the Rod was intelligent and it took note of the different realities with their universes it more witness to. It was also made in such a way as to adapt itself to its new home. Thereby allowing it to pass by longer without notice and possible destruction.

Truth is it doesn't know HOW it could be destroyed but it has seen other artifacts been destroyed or lost before...and it much enjoys being used. Gives it something to do and watch you see.

For its abilities...it has developed quite a bit according to its stores based upon the places and realities it has been. As it turns out those old stores of old places can be very powerful in its new homes.

Then there is the intelligence itself. It has been around the block for a very long time and knows how to communicate. Nevermind the possible sanity damage which it really has tried hard to work on. Being stuck with the crazies gets old not to mention drawing attention.

The rod very much likes being around and not destroyed or lost. Being lost is very boring...and it hates boring.

It hates boring almost as much as it hates its own possible death.The rod is a relatively 'new' immigrant to Genieverse having come into this realm due to Outsider Invasion and then getting passed onto the natives.

The rod doesn't mind staying here nor does it mind leaving. After all the only time it deeply cares over moving is in regards to a dying universe. Everything else is okay so long as it doesn't get Lost ever again.

That is an example of the other kind of interesting artifact.
