If it's unlocked for us, we should take the advantage. The Drons will still be there later.

This is a limited opportunity as we don't always have access to the books, but we can always go hunt for drons.

Those claws are worth 5 bronze if I remember correctly, so 7 in total. They would come quite handy for ripping and tearing drons.. and well, just in general.

The Slaughter of Greenwatch happened roughly ten year ago. During the harvest festival, The children of the Abyss came to the village. Kidnapping multiple villagers, they sacrificed a good number of innocent live sin order to call upon one of the servants of the Arch-Daemons.

What followed was the complete devastation of the village and the cult, save for one member. Chosen as the "Speaker" by their fellow cultists, the details of the slaughter are in depth and graphic.

The cultist was imprisoned in the capital city, kept alive so the clerics could hopefully gain information on the cults movements.

Through the study of the text, you come across text written in Daemonic. Reading this passage, the bones in your arms shatter, split, then reform over the course of agonizing minutes. Your roar of pain startles the fairy, though you can see a little bit of hope spark in her eyes while you writhe in pain.

Eventually it ends, and you rise onc emore, your claws having lengthened by a couple inches and becoming incredibly sharp.

[Gained Claws I: +2 on attacks rolls when using claws]

"What are you doing in here?" Came a voic ebehind you, turning, you see your 'Mistress' standing in the hall. "I thought I told you t-By the Gods, what is that filthy creature doing in my father's study!?" She yelled, staring at the fairy, who was looking terrified at the elf.

The Elf began to walk threateningly towards the Fae, who seemed to be trying to get words from her mouth, but was stumbling.

>What do you do?

>>1647318
I found this creature in the sewers as I was recovering my strength mistress, I thought it cruel to leave it to die. If I might mistress, might I be allowed to keep her down here, I will personally care for her myself of course.

>>1647318
>It is my summoned servant and by extension yours - its small size allows for the completion of a variety of tasks that I would not be able to accomplish by my own. It was unfortunately injured by Drons while scouting enemies in the sewer and I am waiting for it to recover.

>>1647318
kill her already why do we continue to perpetuate this fake master slave relationship?

>>1647318

>"Think of her as my assistant mistress. I found this creature in the sewers and decided to bring her along, isn't that correct?"

Quick question: Can the little faerie we have become one of the ones that use glamour, can't lie and are weak/afraid of cold iron? Or is this just like a magical humanoid butterfly?

>>1647318
>I found and captured the fae in the sewers. I am using it as part of my plan to gain enough strength to end your mother

>>1647360
Once we kill her, we have to flee from this place full of knowledge. Additionally she will be extremely useful if we manage to find a way to magically enslave her .
Since we have virtually infinite gold, we need someone to act as our proxy and purchase expensive items (books, magic items, etc) to further our power without risk. A noble yet incompetent elf girl would be able to do this without raising too much suspicion.

>>1647360
If we kill her, we'll just bring unwanted attention to ourselves

>>1647360
At this point I think of it like this, It's our property and we're vain enough to want to keep it, simple as that. It isn't for anything more than that really. With Zeldren we were logical and cold when we needed to be, he was manipulitve and did everything merely for the sake of his own plans and would lie and befriend a little girl only to use and potentially sacrifice her for his own schemes, with no real in game affection for her. On the other hand, our imp is all of these things to an extant, but it's also proud and passionate. It's always been at the bottom of the totem pole, forced to act as the yes man and servant while hoping to the dark father everyday that he isn't eaten for someone's snack. Now, he finally has the chance to ascend, he was once now someone else's property to torture and command. Now he is gaining the same things. The imp craves power, and servents, and ascendence, just like all of his more powerful siblings have. It doesn't matter that this is just some fae we found, it's ours and we do what we want with it, we've never had our own real property before and we'll do with it as we wish. Besides, it obeyed, and if it keeps obeying then we'll keep it alive, just as every imp has had to go through.

that's just the way I'm playing the imp as, A little pragmatism is fine but I don't want to end up the exact same character as Zeldren, we don't need to do things just because it's the most logical, we can have thoughts and desires that make sense to us and influence how we think and take action. Like simply burning down a sewer camp for example, and then torturing a fae and enslaving it. You can disagree with me, just the way I see the imp is all

>>1647376
>>1647379

>>1647360
Yeah, let's kill a noble's daughter and lose access to a safe place full of knowledge and our main source of future items. Why don't you just suggest we go into a church and hold a glowing sign saying "I'm a demon, slay me!", while you're at it. It's because of idiots like you that evil PCs have a bad reputation.

"That fae I found within the sewers," You simply, watching Elena slow to look at you "She is mine now, and I plan to use her in my plan to end your mother. So I would appreciate it if I could keep her Mistress, if you'de be so kind."

Elena scoffed, glaring at the fae "She's just going to trick you, all fae are filthy liars."

"She won't, I've made sure of that." You say, staring at the Fairy, and seeing her wilt under your gaze.

"Fine, whatever. Just get ready, I havew to bring you to my room while everyone is still eating, that way we don't get a repeat of Isaac. He's waiting in my room by the way." She said, turning and leaving.

With her gone, the fairy looked somewhat relieved, then looked to you "U-uh, how will I help you? I can try, but I'm not able to do much...anymore.." She said, seeming to grow depressed as she seemed to try and will her limbs to move.

>What do you do?

>>1647654
"When I have a use for you, you'll know. For now, you may relax until I have need of you."

You shake your head "Of course I end up with a useless fairy. I'll figure out something in the future, as long as you obey me." You say, flying past her and leaving her in the study "Until then, listen to my demands and you should be fine."

You leave he rin the study, and the door closes behind you.

Time passes, and thanks to some clever movements and close calls, you manage to find yourself in your mistress' room a the sun begins to set. "Alright, I'mn going to be asleep. Do not distrub me unless you need it." She said, walking off to change, leaving you with Isaac, who hands you a map.

"This is as complete of a map of the manor as I could gather. Some people were a bit weirded out but I just told them I'v ebeen getting lost recently." he said, seeming ready to leave.

We don't really need to kill her mother, but we still haven't figured out how to enslave people to our will with a demonic contract.

>While she sleeps, let us take a gander at the book she owns herself.

Since the book is her inheritance and she managed to summon us, albeit poorly - it is very likely to be a book/grimoire about demonology / demonic magic. Worth a shot anyway.

>>1648040
>>1648011
"Of course I do, why els ewould I be working with a demon and a witch." the Servant said, seeming irritated at the whole situation.

"Tell me of the people who live here"

"Not much to tell, there's Elena, her mother who we mutually hate, her little sister and niece, and a handful of servants like me. There's also Old man Harken, but the old Orc never leads Lady Kellem's side." He explained, watching for any hint of betrayal from you.

"Lady Kellem is some fat Toad of a woman who married Lord Kellem to get his money., judging from how much time she spend sin the treasury." Isaac said matter of factly, then ducked under a book throne by Elena "Hey, you think the same!"

Elena came out in a night gown and her hair down, prepared for bed "Yes, but I won't have you insulting my family like that. Only I'm allowed to." She said, bonking Isaac on the head with her inherited book and then walking off to the bed. "Now get outta here, I have to sleep and my minion has to do reconnaissance. apparently." She said, climbing into bed as Isaac rolled his eyes and turned to leave.

Soon, night came, and your Mistress was sound asleep, the book under her hand on the bed.

It would be about eight hour sbefore she woke up again, and the house was likely left empty from everyone going to sleep, except maybe a servant going about some last minute business.

Slowly and carefully, you pull the book from beneath the girls hand. Her fist clenches, but she then rolls over, letting out a tired moan as she pulled the blankets further over her body.

The book lies in your hands, ready to be read...except there's a lock on it. Cursing to yourself, you look around for the key, then here a jingle as Elena turns once more. Around her neck, something that must have been tucked away, was a necklace that held a key on it.

You wonder why suck cruel luck was thrust upon you.

Critical failure!

Grabbing hold of the necklace, you slowly try to lift it up towards the book. Placing you feet on the bed so you can avoid flapping your wings, you almost manage to get it to reach, until you slip and yank the necklace hard and fall on Elena's stomach. The elf girl let out a "oomph" and shook awake as you yanked her head up with the necklace.

"Wuh, huh?" She said in a panic, before seeing you with her book and the necklace in your hand.

"What are you doing?!" She yelled, reached out to grab your neck with anger in her eyes.

>What do you do?

Partial success!

"Mistress I-Urk!" You started to say, before the Elves hand was around your throat and he either hand tear her book from your grasp. Her eyes were almost red with anger.

"What makes you think you are ever allowed to touch my father's book?!" She yelled out, her grasp tightening around your neck.

"I was just following your orders to get stronger," you choke out, fighting every instinct to peel the flesh from her bones, "your book seem like a logical next step!"

Elena threw you from her grip and into one of her dressers, a handle jabbing into your spine and knocking the breath out of your body. Despite her being a mortal elf, the size difference made the difference in relative strength obvious.

"Stupid Imp, the next time you touch my book, I'll boil you alive and serve you to my cow of a mother. Hopefully she'll choke and put you both out of my misery." She said, glaring at you before grabbing her book and placing it under her pillow. She then laid down and turned away from you "I want my mother dead in two days. If you don't succeed I'll tell the clerics you brainwashed me and Isaac. Get to work, useless trash." She said, before growing silent as she glared at a wall.

You stand up, rubbing the sore spot on your back as you recover from the exchange.

[You have taken 2 damage]

>what do you do?

We could sneak into her mother's room and turn her to gold before melting her. Make it look like she left / disappeared and head into the treasury and take enough gold to make it seem like she's went a running.

Silently, you limp out of Elena's room, glaring at her for a brief second before shutting the door. With a hiss of pain, you are airborne and fly off towards the Basement and eventually the sewer, the trip easy thanks to both walking the path and also possessing a map.

As you enter the basement, you find that the rats have effectivly cleaned everything. And by clean, they pushed everything into the sewer.

One rat in particular, covered in webs and missing a chunk of its hind quarters, had thoughts that shouted out to you "Door. Find. Webs. Shells. Pain"

The rat was bleeding to death and likely would not survive much longer, your compulsion likely bringing back to this point.

>What do you do?

Could we somehow bait the drons out of the sewer so they'll attack the mother and daughter?

We should probably sleep first, get to use our coins.

Attack the drones, use the rats as frontline and stay back turning drones to gold. Also check on the fairy and ask if it can help you with magic, hurling spells at the enemy. If it looks like the rats are failing/drones start to break through them then get close and personal and set everything a blaze (preferably not the fairy if it comes with us) and rip everything apart with our new claws.

Telepathy also looks very good, but mostly in our current situation (since we're weak) and I don't want us to end up relying on manipulation rather than pure power of rip and tear/magic, so...

Regen+ telepathy Wins

You placed your coins on Mammon's palm, and watched as he once more crsuhes and melts the coins, pouring the liquid metal over you.

You feel the gold seep in through your ears as the bronze drills into your body and encases every cell. The agony is almost unbearable.

You wake up with a start, flying immediately into the air and barely stopping yourself in time from hitting the ceiling. You calm you frantic breathing, and hold your hands up. You feel...newer. Your body felt pure, as if the harshness of the day had melted away in your sleep.

[Healed 2 hp]

With a firm nod, you flew into the main part of the Basement, and looked at your option, feeling rested and ready for the night.

On your right was the sewers, where the drons were and where you had kidnapped your fairy from. On your left was the closed study, your fairy locked within along with a large collection of daemonic knowledge. Ahead of you was the stiars to the main floor and the rest of the mansion, where the mortals lived.

You have about 6 more hours until the night ends.

You fly off towards the sewers, intent on finding the rumors bugs that had taken residence within. You follow the path the rats lead you, until you come to a tunnel that is thick with webs and filled with mounds of near stone like dirt.

The rats refuse to continue, and the sound of clicking and chirping can be faintly heard ahead in the darkness.

A small spark briefly comes into being by some webs, and ignites the web briefly before sniffing out of existane. The fire is spreading slowly, as it start very small.

Eventually, it begins to rapidly consume the webs and fly down the hall as it followed the webs.

The chirping and chittering grows more frantic.

Take a deep breath, you close your eyes as you collect your thoughts. The word of power was not simple magic, it was both a authoritive demand and a humble request to the world itself to change according to your wishes. The balance must be kept, else the world will simply ignore your pleas. No man controls the earth, it merely is willing to take requests if one asks in the right way.

Gathering your energy and breath, you speak loud and proudly, the oratory liek that of a pride demon speaking over his army. "Àirde na Gaoithe!"

As soon as the words leave your mouth, a massive hurricane like wind blasts from behind you and down the tunnel, feeding the flame slike a fire storm and causing an explosion of heat and death to rocket down the tunnel.

The chirping stopped, and there was no sound in the darkness.

>>1654081
You move forward into the tunnel, smelling burnt flesh and charred sewage as you move along. Eventually, you come to a hollow black carapace of chitin, the flesh burned away leaving nothing but ash and armor. There are around five such things when you arrive.

However, there are still three living Dron, small half domed shaped insects with six legs alone its perimeter. They seemed to be disoriented, trying to dig through stone unsuccessfully and bumping into their fallen comrades blindly.

Just a couple feet behind them, seemed to be a still burning corpse of some different creature. the damage was to extensive, but you could tell it had a chitinous shell as well.

One of the drone starts scuttling towards you.

Lunging at the Dron, you swipe your claws at its shell, letting out a roar of blood lust. You expect gore, blood, a cry of agony as your claws swing with enough force to cut the air.

Instead your hands hurts and you recoil from the strike. Looking at the Dron, it's shell was damaged, a there was a light streak of blood, but it was only a flesh wound.

[Did one damage to Dron. Dron [Hard shell] ability activated]

The Dron seems to register the attack, but then continued to move along, not concerned with the itchiness on its shell.

The other Dron seem to be waddling over to the shellls of their comrades and trying to drag them deeper into the tunnel.

>What do you do?

You place you hands beneath the shell of the creature and try to lift. However it's heavier than you expected, and you don't even manage to lift it off the ground let alone flip the creature.

The creature, letting out a sound of alarm, swings its leg at you, but misses as you rise away from it.

Hissing and chittering can be heard apparoaching from the tunnel, further into Dron territory

Critical fire spark

Your pushed the magic from your body, and in an instant, realize that you need to get down. Whatever wind you were going to summon is unneeded, the magical fire exploding and sending a wave of flame down the tunnel and consuming everything. You are fine, as you are effectivly immune, but the Drons that were at your feet are not, and whatever was down the tunnel sounds either at deaths door or extremely hurt.

Mor eimportantly though ,while you were creating the spark, you discovered a new trick in how to form the spell. It is now far more effective.

[Gain Fire Spark II]

The Drons that were near you are dead, ashes once more.

[You feel close to leveling, as well as something else.]

You fly forward, the tunnel effective beginning to form a thin layer of glass along the stone from how much fire you had been bringing to bear.

Eventually, you come to find the hunche dover and burned body of a 6 foot tall beetle monster, a mixture of nightmares and teeth you expect only having existed in hell itself. It begins to click and turn its head to you,. A small dron scuttles out from behind it, and is immediatly grabbed by the large creature.

With a shower of green gore and blood, the Dron's soft underside is torn open and the large creature begins to consume it. Green lines begin to glow along its carapace, and an odd smell begins to be released. It burns begin to heal as itthrows the empty shell away and picks up another Dron,

The display of cannibalism before you shouldn't have disturbed you, shouldn't have shaken your mind. You dealt with it every day in the Abyss, watching friends and siblings be consumed by your more powerful siblings.

But here, it's different/ The Drons don't fight it, in fact, from how they hug onto the Ocerseer's face, they seem to assist the creatur ein eating them.

Your mind is unfocused, and you create only a small spark of fire that snuffs itself out before long.

The overseer finishes off another Dron, standing tall and seeming healed up enough. It then begins it his and move towards you, its step stomping against the stone as it extended large scythe like claws.

Your fire spark manages to form at the size of your fist, and impacts the creature, but the flames spread out and die with barely an effect.

Luckily though, your wind comes and halts the creatures advance, forcing it to stop and anchor itself on the walls in order to not lose ground. The wind is keeping the creature at bay but won't last long.

Finally, after fizzling out the last couple times, a sizable spark is unleashed upon your enemy. The explosion of fire engulfed your enemy, and the wind fuels the fires that have taken to forming on its body.

[10 damage done to Dron Overseer!]

The Dron let out a hiss, the winds weakened now due to your second attempt not working as well. It charged froward and extended its claws farther than you expected, and cut you across the chest, sending waves of agony across your body.

[Recieved 5 points of damage!]

The creature pushes the attack, and swings at you once more, but you manage to dodge it. It's hard to to keep up, as the creature's multiple arms were like blades swing at once.

[Currently suppressed. Performing an attack or moving away will give the overseer a free attack. WORDS OF POWER AND TELAPTHY are still usable ]
