Filled with curiosity, you attempt to feed the golem two mutually contradictory commands, one after the other, to find that the second takes precedence, but when you handhold your wife through the intricate process of attuning a strand to the golem, and give it a command at once, you find that yours takes precedence over hers. Removing the strand connecting her to the golem, you hypothesize the reasoning behind this commendable loyalty and deduce that either the golem relies on the strength of will of the one giving it commands, or it defers to whichever attuning string has been attached the longest, which raises the question of how it determines the span of time passed without a cohesive mind to keep track.

These conundrums are most frustrating, but you’ve attained a respectable amount of understanding regarding the strands, and feel it is safe to say you have a firm understanding of how you are able to command the golem at the present time. You’ll have to engage in further study in the future to determine how it comprehends your intent without any process of conscious thought. It is an interesting enigma, and only increases your curiosity regarding the ins-and-outs of the golem’s function, but more important is what’s come to pass in the last two months of diligent study.

For one, your wife has failed to achieve significant progress in the discipline of hexcraft, and for another, your firstborn son Asura has almost crippled a combatant slave. Apparently, during a former warrior’s attempt to teach your son how to swing a club, he was caught off-guard when the relatively enormous toddler tripped his ankle, swung up to crack his jaw on the way down, and shattered the crude weapon on his chest. Too scared to interrupt your studies or stop his, for fear of incurring your wrath, once they verified the combatant slave in question wasn’t crippled, they taught him the concept of sparring and resumed immediately. So far, he’s doing better than most children twice his age and though wary within sparring distance, his trainers are convinced he’ll be a fearsome warrior when he’s grown.

When that’s finished, you turn your attention to the work the golems and snap-jaws are doing on the ruins of the palace, and finding it not to your satisfaction but close enough not to warrant corporeal punishment, you leave them to their duty in favor of taking the flying carpet for a spin. So many weeks you’ve laid in wait at the tower while dozens of snap-jaws go wasting their lives crawling through the sand, and as amusing as the thought might be, you deduce that there’s no reason not to take flight and do what they wish they could’ve done.


All the same, you instruct them to continue scouting as normal, and deeply savor the dumbfounded looks on their stupid little faces when you tell them that you’re going to be conducting an expedition on the back of the flying carpet. Deciding that there’s no reason not to start from the corner of the pitiful map they’ve begun, you travel to the upper-rightmost region you know of and begin flying in loops in an attempt to catch sight of something worthwhile. It takes you almost two weeks to reach where you feel the corner should be, and are curious to note that the yellowed sand here gives way to reddened rock. The change of scenery is pleasant to say the least, and soaring through the sky you note an abundance of valleys and gorges intersecting the mountains there.

Flying closer to the ground, you clarify the presence of dried rivers here and there, and swiftly come to the conclusion that this was once a prosperous region. More concerningly, you’re beginning to remember what that pair of sterile snap-jaws were rambling about when they returned from the failed expedition, and coming to realize that the terrain beneath matches their description verbatim. You’re beginning to think it might be a better idea to simply return home and resume your studies in full, elsewise you might-

A billouous fog of flaming mucus misses the flying carpet by perhaps three paces, and soaring forward at blistering speeds, you turn to catch sight of an abomination beyond mortal ken. The aberration is perhaps a fifth the size of the palace and can only be described as that- An aberrant affront to everything natural and holy, resembling a titanic slug with bat’s wings and a snapping scorpion’s tail. It screeches yet again-

>*SQUIIIIRRRRSSSNNNIIIIIK*

At the sight of you upon your flying carpet, and you recognize the glowing foam coalescing about its gaping, slavering maw. This unnatural monster, for it can be known as nothing other, might be beyond even your strength.

This monstrosity… It’s power is beyond reckoning and it could serve as a most magnificent minion, if only you could bring it to heel! Lust for conquest overriding your sense of self-preservation, you turn the flying carpet and ride toward it at angle. It spits again, with a horrendous-

>*SQUIIIIRRRRSSSNNNIIIIIK*
>*FUULLCHUUUUUUUUUUK*

But your mastery of the winds is such that you manage to dodge the nauseating fog, no matter that its stench is reminiscent of burning scat, and begin howling various salutations in the languages you know. The Tongue and Contemporary Settik alike yield nothing, and neither do Proto-Settik or the Snap-Jaw’s barking but at the sound of Ancient Dravidian… Oh, the most ruinous and ruined Ancient Dravidian...

Angers it. Though rather than attempt to slay or devour you, it begins to screech a tongue that sends cold shivers running down your spine, and even if you can’t comprehend so much as a syllable of what it slurs, you swiftly seize clarity from the depths of your memory. The only other time you’ve felt such a fundamental, inconceivable sense of wrongness was when you broke upon the black scrolls of those who once owned the palace, and it is then that you realize, flying rug rippling on the winds, that this beast is truly spawned of hell. It ceases its furious tirade as quickly as it came, and prepares to strike again-

>*SQUIIIIRRRRSSSNNNIIIIIK*
>*FUULLCHUUUUUUUUUUK*

To no avail, as you are quick to evade. All the same, you can’t dodge indefinitely and sooner rather than later, you’ll have to land.

Throwing the notion of subjugating the gargantuan slug straight from the pits of the hells themselves to the winds, you spin the flying carpet around and fly away swifter than even your keen eye can see. Glancing over your shoulder you determine that, while the beast’s bat-wings carry its tremendous bulk far better than they have any right to, they cannot hope to outpace your nimble and deftly-maneuvered floor tapestry of choice.

>*SQUIIIIRRRRSSSNNNIIIIIK*
>*FUULLCHUUUUUUUUUUK*

- As many times as it may, it fails to begin to strike you even once, and you even get the opportunity to fling a fireball against its blubbery hide, only to hear it-

>*SQUIIIIRRRRSSSNNNIIIIIK*

In response to the mild burn that would’ve been far worse, were the target not coated with glistening slime. Little by little, moments turn to minutes turn to hours, and the projectiles are flung more and more seldom, until eventually they cease entirely. The beast flies away but you do not take the opportunity to rest, for it is wise enough to comprehend whatever manner of blasphemous tongue it spoke unto you, it should be more than able to pull a clever ambush. You should know, you’d do the same in the situation and soaring in the clouds, you get a good two leagues before a distant and angry-

>*squiiiirrrrsssnnniiiiik*

Can be heard, and three more fading off into the horizon. It seemed you were right to keep fleeing the fell creature. You’re free to travel home and begin your preparations for the next summer but the fact that you’ve failed to uncover anything else of note on your first aerial scouting expedition has you irritated. Still, the risk that you might encounter the abomination and incur its wrath again remains.

After much contemplation, you decide that a month spent in search of something of value that went unfound would be wasted, and so you resolve that you shall not return to your palace until you have found something of sufficient value. Soaring through the skies, you persist in your endeavor for no less than five days and five nights before you catch sight of what might be worthwhile; the crumbling ruins of a tower some four stories high on the side of a mountain’s slope. Deeply intrigued, you land the flying carpet several hundred paces away, and stand, only to pause in brief confusion. There, before the age-blackened door of the ruin are what seem to be a dozen mushrooms, enlarged to almost twice the size of a snap-jaw, twisted into a crude mockery of man’s shape, and endowed with a crude semblance of sapience.

Before you can come to terms with what you’re seeing, they sprint closer and one pelts a rock with vicious tenacity. Though the creature’s strength could’ve dealt a fearsome blow, its accuracy is lacking and you need not dodge, as its crude implement of war clatters to the stones beside you. Staring, you quickly determine that an unknown number of these “shroomfolk” are inhabiting this ruin and that before you can ascertain the nature of what marvels might be held within, you must subjugate or exterminate these vermin. Frustratingly, they seem to lack mouths entirely, and even as adorable as their feeble attempts to ascend to the summit on which you’ve seated yourself are, they’ll get there sooner rather than later, and you must come to a decision if you don’t wish to be thrown from the mountainside.

Closing your eyes, you enter a meditative calm and with a handful of deep breaths, exit your material form. The expanse beyond your physicality is vast, but far below, you can detect a dozen strangely shaped presences. These are flickering lights in the darkness but against the inferno of your will supreme, they are nothing candles, and easily snuffed out. Forcing your way into the mind of the foremost among them, you crush his sense of self, and in its stead, you place a single, unstoppable, and nigh-unbreakable compulsion to serve. This causes another commanding-strand to manifest in the astral, but where its golem counterpart was rigid, its composition is in a state of perpetual flux, probably owing to its unusual origins. Not having the time to investigate further, you assail the remainder.

Alone, each of them is weak and feeble, but altogether they pose a formidable challenge. Nonetheless, in some five minutes, your will reigns supreme and each of the shroomfolk kneels before your majesty as you descend. Forcing the minds of lesser beings to serve your every whim should become easier in time, as you further your attunement to the mind. Hopefully soon, this newfound art will become second nature. The feeble and ancient door clatters inward at your insistence, and soon after the secrets of the ancient tower reveal themselves. Judging by the ample luxuries and riches to be found, it must’ve once belonged to a reclusive and wealthy individual, and while most of the tomes in his library have crumbled to dust, the two titles remaining indicate a fair deal of his interests.

A weighty, silver-inlaid grimoire titled ‘Embrace Anger- Ascend’ and a mildly stained, yellowed and battered, but well-thumbed work aptly named ‘101 Reasons Not To Trust Cookfires’. Skimming through both, you find that these are sorcerous books relating to the discipline of fire, each with an extremely different approach, writing style, and as you examine closer, level of requisite expertise. ‘Embrace Anger- Ascend’ is a deeply serious, philosophical text encouraging the reader to take the first steps into the flames so as to better ‘cleanse the impurity around thyself’ whereas ‘101 Reasons Not To Trust Cookfires’ details none of the basics in favor of satirizing and downplaying the effects of intricate and advanced fiery invocations as they relate to common foodstuffs.

Each is most curious, and you pocket them post-haste but the question of what you’re going to do with the tremendous quantity of treasure and your newfound minions so far from the palace remains. You could leave them within the tower until you’ve found the time to relocate your wealth and servants, or you could waste another month relocating their entirety to your palace. Alternatively, you could simply send snap-jaws to find and haul the plentiful sum of riches to your palace, but you aren’t so certain how they would handle the shroomfolk. Come to think of it, you don’t even know how much an acceptable range this “mind-seizure” has.

> What should you do?

Hey, you guys remember how shroom patches are usually connected to a central nucleus relatively deep underground?

What if we're dealing with a hivemind? Would the extra processing power make things harder, or would it be easier since we only have a single mind to contend with?

There is a dark basement in the tower, but its only contents are a handful of rotting cacti and smaller fungi incubating on them. If there is any underground source of shroomfolk, you wager it would be in a cave somewhere in the region.

Gathering the shroomfolk, you pile the overabundance of treasure into moth-bitten sacks and set off on a long and arduous march toward the palace. Or, they do. You sit cross-legged on the flying carpet, enjoying the breeze upon your face. Over the course of the three-odd weeks of laborious trekking you find that the shroomfolk are having severe difficulty not-drying out in the desert heat, and though none of them succumb, you fear that this might reduce their utility in tasks to come. Even so, their minds are enthralled to you and so they march, regardless of their instinctive desire to keel over and curl into a fetal position to preserve moisture. Miraculously, none die by the time you accidentally uncover the skeleton.

It’s pure, naked chance along but it’s fortunate that you had the wind blowing and saw fit to send a gust of sand into a nearby shroomfolk’s face for the humor of it. You sense that if it had a mouth or free will it would complain but it does not and so you do not care. More interesting is the sight of the rag-swaddled bleached bones buried beneath the sand and a brief investigation reveals that it died clutching (yet another!) tome titled, ‘The Art of Maligning the Righteous- As Elucidated By Molmathach, Maker of Woe’

Predictably enough, it details the art of inflicting a number of hexes, ranging from the barely noticeable, to the inconvenient, to the rumor-spreading, to the suicide-inducing and was penned by a certain fiend by the name Molmathach, Maker of Woe. They left a summoning sigil in the back, and much of the writing relates to why one should exult their ambition above the heavens themselves. More specifically, it explains that Molmathach, Maker of Woe, is the most reasonable, least dangerous patron one could summon and form a pact with, and that despite what many rumors at the time of writing might say, they most certainly do not enjoy torturing and subsequently eating the elderly, no matter how much the pain may or may not improve the flavor of “aged-meat.” Overall, the writing is descriptive but self-indulgent and leaves you feeling the writer suffered from crippling delusions of grandeur.

Soon enough, you arrive back at the palace and your family and minions are most-pleased to see you, because they were worried you had died a horrible death at the hands of the “flying squishy” the pair of snap-jaw survivors warned everyone about. The fact that you came back laden with treasure does not fail to impress, you’re sure to embellish the tale beyond all reason and embrace your wife, both mind and body, long into the night.

This season, twelve lower-caste and fourteen upper-caste snap-jaws were born. Two goats were butchered to meet Asura’s need for protein, but three goats were born, resulting in a net gain. Your children are developing well, though Sabaaha hasn’t shown any tangible improvement in their intelligence, whatsoever.

The Spring is gone, and the Summer of Year 9 is imminent. Despite your long and vigorous welcome home, your wife isn’t pregnant.

You have two action slots, insofar as studying disciplines and reading tomes goes. Exploration takes up two, and attempting to make time for the family or educate is free, but success has a higher DC than if you'd focused on it to begin with. I recommend taking a dip into the tomes for Fire/

While becomeing a runesmith and handforging masterworks would be nice, I feel like we have more pressing affairs.

Anon mentioned it before but we're definitely in the center of a former magical empire that got dusted from hell shenanigans.
It was probably plains that stretched to those mountains before becoming a giant garbage bin of ancient magic.

I wonder if this is the place where demonic things got their bad name, like the historical source for "demon's bad m'kay?" that even we knew about.
Months of travel in any direction is sand. I don't know how to feel about that, sand makes for a difficult civilization.
What's worse, traveling to any enemies and back. It's a great natural barrier but supply lines for anything more demanding than Golems or cheap minions will be costly.
Since it's not like we can build flying carpets for our golems.

>>3688795
I'd like to but like >>3688802 says we need expert aides for that. If we don't want him to just break it.
Regular steel in an iron age is high tier metallurgy, it's funny but IRL we had steel even in the bronze age. But good quality steel may as well be magic compared to that stuff.

Our character doesn't even know forging ratios and temperatures. I'm sure it's not beyond us if we devoted the time but I think it's better we delegate that to someone who's already been doing it their whole life.

Your curiosity is piqued by the two tomes you’ve found, and the desire to delve into the mysteries of the flames which began your sorcerous endeavors outweighs your urge to understand the function and production of the golems which you’ve so come to depend on. Digging into ‘101 Reasons Not To Trust Cookfires’ you find that despite the gut-churningly hilarious nature of its content, you simply aren’t able to grasp anymore than the simplest bits and pieces of the finer details, that you most infuriatingly lack the knowledge to properly piece together. As enjoyable as the read might’ve been compared to the droll tomes you’re accustomed to, you deem that it might be more prudent to subject yourself to the “philosophy” contained within ‘Embrace Anger- Ascend’ in the future.

Pushing the tomes aside, you deign to spend some quality time with your family and enjoy a number of most enjoyable picnics and bedside discussions. Therein, you struggle not to explain the intricacies of the occult you’ve begun studying, and force yourself to engage in mind-numbingly trivial small talk. At least Asura’s tales of bludgeoning snap-jaws and nomad warriors alike are somewhat entertaining, nonetheless, there are a handful of obstacles both seem to be unable to surmount. If Aafira is to be believed, she’s been unable to further her understanding of the runic script on her own and would be most grateful if you taught her what post-ironic iambic pentameter is, and what exactly it has to do with some of the more sophisticated metaphoric authorities.

Furthermore, despite his stunning size and strength for one so young, Asura isn’t committing to his studies of the cudgel, preferring to beat and bludgeon the smaller snap-jaws. There haven’t been any fatalities so far, but his studies have begun to decline. When you ask some of the nomads responsible for his training about it, they explain that traditionally children don’t begin training in full until at least they’re five summers of age, and that they’re honestly stunned he’s been doing so well at barely four summers. Regardless, they vow to do what they can to rectify the situation, lest you see them sleeping amongst the snap-jaws.

>>3689781
Finishing your attempts to socialize with your family, you feel that they think somewhat better of you but all the same, the lack of a true intellectual peer torments you night and day. Turning your focus to ‘The Conflux of Corruption & Thought: Vol II’ you become increasingly convinced that attaining a fiendish familiar wrought from the reflection of your soul in the pits of hell is an excellent idea, and resolve to wrest a proper understanding of demonology from the black scrolls before attempting to do so. Studying the Yoobrik’s manuscript, you read between the lines, finding a number of well-hidden occult symbols, and while it feels nauseous, you push these feelings aside in pursuit of power.
Raw, naked power… These people around you; they love you, yes, even worship you, but they are ignorant of even the scantest shreds of sorcerous knowledge which you learned so long ago, and their unapologetic, unrepentant idiocy fills you with rage! Tumultuous fury so profound as to render the wrath of the flames no more than paltry spite in comparison, but rather than go into a month long tantrum, you succumb to the wellspring of incandescent madness and casting your realm-conquering pride aside, allow your conscious and subconscious thought alike to submit to these depths of world-shattering rage.

You cannot think, only sense, as you forcefully tear a rift between realities, and stumbling back from the sensation of unnatural cold and chilling fear, open your eyes to witness the briefest glimpse of seething darkness that can only be described as the absence of all things pure. Then, just as quickly as it came the rift is stitched back together as if it were never there, and the anger has vanished from your soul. Some spite is still there, but no more than normal, and as you ponder the ramifications of this, you hear a clattering noise. Glancing up, you see what appears to be a hunchbacked lump of muscle with the eyes and wings of an insect, and covering its form, patchwork sheets of rusted iron that have been bolted down and seared straight onto its exposed sinews by unimaginable heat.

>>3689786
In its gnarled claws it hefts a fearsome battleaxe, and you sense that if you weren’t three times this creature’s size you would be gripped with mortal terror, but as it is you are far from at ease. The abomination, nay, the demon glares at you with spite incomprehensible to anyone not so detached from sanity as you already are, and hisses with a guttural, phlegmy voice before releasing a wet cough and speaking in a high-pitched voice that sounds more like a thousand chitinous insects screeching against one another more than any mortal tongue. The wrath in its speech is undeniable, but it is restrained by a thread, and you comprehend its words, though you feel that this is owed more to the fact its black speech twists in your mind to be heard more than any fluency in The Tongue of the fiend.

How do you want to go about subduing the frenzied axe-demon? Keep your sorcerous disciplines in mind.

>>3690223
Make him into a thrall using mind magic.

>>3690233
It was a 20 to just subdue some shrooms, I think the demon is a bit stronger.

>>3690237
Other than keeping it battered down with wind magic enough to runecraft real unpleasant shit directly on its body I'm not sure we've got something better than mind magic. Stall until the golems can get here and hold it down, maybe?

We do have a powerful wand, probably the best time to use it. How to actually use it without annihilating the demon.

>>3690246
*is what I'm trying to think of.

>>3690223
We could start by slicing its axe-arm off with wind blades. Being in the same room as an armed opponent's pretty dangerous, and trying to use mind magic could get us killed.

>>3690223
Judging by its description, he seems to be covered in literal metal that is attached directly to its flesh. I'm thinking we use cuts from wind magic to "clip" his winds and then use more wind magic to fly out of his reach. He's like 2 feet tall. Once we do that, we can use fire magic on his metal body until he's weakened enough to become incapacitated. Once we do that, we can have a golem hold onto him while we figure out how to use runes to bind him in a more useful way. I highly advise against mind magic by the way. Even though he's a little runt, he's still a demon.

>>3690237
Yea but there were 12 shrooms were only dealing with one demon.

>>3690272
A demon I imagine is SIGNIFICANTLY more willful than a handful of walking mushrooms.

I’ll give you another hour or so to ponder. To clarify, the demon has no skin, only exposed muscle and most of its form has been covered with plates of rusted iron, bolted and crudely melted directly into the sinews beneath. Despite its small stature it has a dangerous amount of strength, though you doubt its wings are capable of lifting its weight anymore than to improve its jumps. It is extremely angry and given its fiendish nature, bringing its mind to yield could be difficult at best.

>>3690341
>>3690260
Given that info I still think this is the best one that will leave him intact enough to serve/divulge info/experiment on.

>>3690341
First, a question; is it possible to actually kill a demon? As in permanently? Or are they just banished back from whence they came?

>>3690380
You don’t have enough information to determine one way or another.

We can manipulate the stone of our palace with our magic, yeah?

Wind magic up beyond its reach, combined with battering it with wind. Meanwhile, if there's a portion of the nearby floor that has sand below it, create a cavity using earth magic. At which point, lure the creature over the disguised hole, collapse the thin veneer of clothing over the artificial pit of sand, and then reform it to trap the creature.

Anyone else thinking this is maybe how the last civilization got destroyed? It seems awful easy to summon demons here.

we were just going to smack him around a bit
hug it with a golem
ask some questions
attempt runecraft on it
nothing special

it was supposed to be a boring victory

>>3690711
No we just got very unlucky.

>>3690711
He did say the hate burns less here whatever that means.

>>3690711
Probably there's a reason people (the ones with brains) don't get into it.

>>3690716
Well, getting unlucky with demon summoning is more severe than getting unlucky with something like golemcrafting. One makes us frustrated and sets back our progress, the other one can destroy everything we've worked so hard for in a matter of minutes.

Your body has been immolated in hellfire and your mind dominated by a fiend, but the sheer scale of your pride caught the aberration off-guard, and your soul managed to evade its grasp in the moments it manifested in the mortal realm. This is a catastrophe, and you are technically undead but fear not- possession is possible.

I’m going to give you some time to think about this while I take a shower. Demonology is a very high-risk, high-reward discipline, and you’ve gotten the short stick of it.

>>3690723
We got three 1's in a row plus another 1 ontop of that that is crazy unlucky. I'd expect the golems to start trying to kill us at that point. I'd be happy if we get dragged to hell and enslaved at this point.

Honestly though, I'm unironically lol'ing at these results. Us getting our soul ripped out due to hubris would be a great ending given how we've been playing Azikial

Hopefully we'll carry all the same knowledge. Even if we can't will the body to use it yet.

>>3690732
>putting snapjaws on that list
Our personality in a discount kobold. God I can't imagine.

>Asura
I guess this is equivalent to a retry. Should we pretend to be Asura or remain our usual insane Azikial self?

you're gonna make us roll for the possession vs. the willpower of our firstborn child aren't you

>>3690762
We should do a little bit of both. With Asura's brawn and Azikial's brains, we should create the ultimate lifeform. And maybe act a bit more cautiously this time.

>>3690766
Oh no

>>3690766
I doubt it. He's littarly 4 years old.

>>3690762
>Should we pretend to be Asura or remain our usual insane Azikial self?
If we want the help of our wife definitely pretend. Cause our wife will definitely lose it/crack if we take over our son. Or we could feed her some stuff like, "Honey I'm just doing this till we can make me a new body."

Actually
>>3690732
Could we possess a golem or make a new one for our soul later?

>>3690775
If we can possess a golem, I want to do that instead. If that's impossible, we definitely need to figure out how to make a new one.

>>3690762
Retain our personality but act as if we are asura and the mantle of god king has passed down to him which would explain to the snap jaws why he can cast magic now.

>>3690780
I mean, how to make one that can be possessed.

>>3690780
I agree being a golem would be superior.

>>3690766
That depends, do you want to coexist with Asura’s mind and soul, or do you want to consume everything he is and inhabit the husk? Alternatively, you could consume the mind alone and retain the memories and inclinations of his soul but that could lead to some mental disorders down the line.

>>3690775
You can’t possess a golem, they don’t have the infrastructure to support a natural human soul.

>>3690780
Based on his many descriptions of how Golem work, they seem pretty incompatible with human souls. We're absolutely fucked, but our best hope is to possess our youngest son and pray to whoever will listen we can keep things from degenerating into full blown anarchy. At least that's how I see it

>Coexist.

Could we build a shell capable of supporting a human soul?

>>3690798
Consume his mind, hijack his body, enjoy the mental disorders. COME ON DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER!
