You force your eyes to open but only wild shapes and colors pass in front of you.
Your flesh feels like is being pulled apart in every direction.
You grunt in pain while forcing yourself to remain conscious, the ground is cold and the air feels different.


Your eyes try to adjust to the sudden change of light, blinding you for a moment.
In that second you can hear the voice of a man, its words reverberate in the empty room and in your headache.
“Demon, I have summon thee so you may bless us with strength. I offer entrance to my world and refuge from yours.”
*What?* you think to yourself

In front of you are two elves from what you would expect from a fantasy world, but they have horns and some animalistic features.
Behind the woman there is someone hiding, it looks like a humanoid gecko.
How do you react? What do you say?

“What?”
The elves stare at you expectantly, still clutching tightly their charms of protection.
After a minute of awkward silence the elven man was the first to speak.

“Mighty one, we plead that you save us from the Rot.”
Your brain goes on autopilot and asks again.
“What?”


The man is clearly nervous now, he turns around and begins discussing something with his companions.
In your confusion you just survey your surroundings.
You stand in an empty room apart from the many interconnected pentagrams and runes on the walls and floor.
Before you begin wandering too much the man speaks again.


“I’m Niven Orbryn , Demon, I have summoned you-“
“I’m not a demon.” You interrupt him
“What?” Now he is the one resorting to your catchphrase
“No, you definitely are a demon. Stop trying to fool me. You are just wasting your time.”
He seems very sure of that statement and you are not sure if it’s worth arguing with him.


“Let me start again. I’m Niven Orbryn and I have summoned you so you may save us from the undead.”
You process what he just said and ask the most basic question.
How?
He takes kindly enough the question and simply declares that “You punch them with your magic”


Then he continues, interrupting you before you begin explaining you don’t have magic.
“Of course we cannot allow a demon to enter the material world without a binding,
so you would need to sing this in order to leave that runic circle.”
He throws you a scroll and you catch it mid air.
The thing is written in the same language as the runes in the circles.
Oddly enough as you inspect it the symbols become clear and you can read without problems.

“
1. You must obey orders from any holder of a ring of clan Seeker
2. You cannot hold a ring of clan Seeker
3. You may not take tools, weapons or souls without properly informing the owner.
4. You must never harm sentient creatures without instruction from a holder of a ring of clan Seeker
5. You shall not attempt to summon other demons
6. You shall not consume the souls, blood or flesh of enemies
7. You shall not be more than 1 mile away from a holder of a ring of clan Seeker
8. You must not conceal information to holders of a ring of clan Seeker
9. You must not assist in criminal activities or aid criminals to escape justice.
10. You must refrain from damaging homes or tools unless it breaks rules above.

All of these rules will be in place until the death of the signer.
If the conditions were to be broken the signer would suffer pain until the infraction is corrected.
In exchange for following these conditions the signer will gain free roam on the material world and permission to exit the summoning circle.
Sign here =_________
“


*This is ridiculous* you think to yourself.
You decide to be prudent and leave before these nuts kill you by throwing you at zombies or whatever.
“Nope. Send me back.”

The lizard speaks while the elves remain in stunned silence.
“Excuse me?”
“You guys summoned me, you can send me back home right?”
Oh,no. They are sweating.
“Yes, about that Mr. Demon. We don’t know how to do that yet.”
The man is clearly panicking while he tries to make excuses for this and the other two are just apologizing in fear.
The lizzard is kneeling down and asking for forgiveness
>>Game of binding
You will be able to change 1 rule by talking with the elves (And if they agree) and add/remove words anywhere and roll to see if they notice.
The smaller the change more chances of success (1 letter +0 DC , 1 noun +4 DC )
Base DC for the first change is 0 and it adds +4 for every following change.
The contract must be intelligible. That’s the only condition.

What do?
>Sign the contract (After changes are made)
>Convince them you are not a demon (How?)
>Demand to be released
>Ask more questions (The changes you propose now will be applied)
>Write in

>>5111025
>Write in
>This is ridiculous. As if some squiggles on the floor could really stop you. Just walk out.

>>5111030
This. Let's test it out. If it works then that either means we're a demon, or magic is real and this is bullshit.

>>5111030
Attempt this.

If it fails...

>>5111025
>Rule modification: we can break the rules if absolutely necessary for self defence, as long as it isn't against Clan Seeker or in direct contravention of an order

Come of, isn't a man or demon entitled to self-defence? If we aren't permitted to do that, why should we help protect them?

Either way, while they're discussing that...

>Sneak in a change: 2. You cannot hold RINGS of clan Seeker

At a quick glance, while frazzled, maybe they won't realize that we've granted ourself the ability to have -A- ring.

>>5111030
that’s a big dick move right there.
I was so concentrated on designing the contract i forgot you could attempt that and its fun.

Rolled 4, 1, 3 = 8 (3d4)

>>5111042
A big dick move, you say?

Rolling for inches For fun, not canon.

>>5111025
In case we do walk out and it turns out to be a bad idea, then we have to begrudgingly come back to the rulz.

1. You must obey orders from any holder of a ring of clan Seeker [within reason. The holder of the ring cannot command a demon to commit harm to itself.]

2. You cannot hold a ring of clan Seeker [unless permitted to by the holder, unless the current holder dies, else you are allowed to hold the ring for the purpose of find a new candidate for the ring] (leave out a clause for when we need to give it back)

3. You may not take tools, weapons or souls without properly informing the owner [unless the owner is imprisoned, unconscious, insane, or in harm's way]

4. You must never harm sentient creatures without instruction from a holder of a ring of clan Seeker [with exceptions to self defense if a sentient creature or otherwise strikes back]

5. You shall not attempt to summon other demons [unless requested by the holder of the ring, but come on. Summoning more demons is gay]

6. You shall not consume the souls, blood or flesh of enemies [unless allowed by the holder God the ring, or for the purpose of aiding the holder should they be in danger] (leave out examples of different levels of danger, like if they get a paper cut)

7. You shall not be more than 1 mile away from a holder of a ring of clan Seeker [unless requested by the holder to be farther than a mile away]

8. You must not conceal information to holders of a ring of clan Seeker[Unless requested by the holder or their life should be in danger, information will be withheld until asked. There are something mortal minds cannot learn, less they be driven insane] (total bullshit but they dont need to know that)

9. You must not assist in criminal activities or aid criminals to escape justice [unless it aids the holder of the ring, or the law enforces are complete assholes. Fuck those blue collared pigs.]

10. You must refrain from damaging homes or tools unless it breaks rules above.
leave rule 10 alone ("unless it breaks rules above" means we can do whatever we want so long as it's related to breaking things, I think)

>>5111045
Wait ignore this. I fucked up and didnt real all the rules. Whatever, let's jump out the magic bullshit circle.

>>5111030
I support just walking the fuck out of there.

>>5111025
Wait a second. Arent we forgetting a few things? Do we still have all our clothes and things in our pockets? Are we covered in blood and vomit? Wheres our cat? If we convince the elves to do the summoning again, can we summon our cat? Because if we're gone, who's going to feed it?

>>5111025
Guys. Literally put

"No" in front of "if these rules are broke , the singer will suffer pain until fixed"

Okey, so the winner is
>walk out of the magic circle.

I will start writting and this will be the last update for today.
I wanna sleep

>>5111059
And to DOUBLE ENSURE THAT WE GET OUT

remove "Following" from "for in exchange for following these conditions". Since if we dont follow them, by letter, we are to be sent back to the circle.

That's like. . . DC 4 if I understand right. First is free, the next is costly. But if we remove following first, then no, then it's only like 2dc.

But maximum for removing 2 works is 8.
So we can just do that when the leaving doesnt work.

>>5111058
>Do we still have all our clothes and things in our pockets?
Yes, miscelaneous stuff. No guns
> Are we covered in blood and vomit?
Just the floor and you got a bit on your shoes
>Wheres our cat?
At your home, of couse.
>can we summon our cat?
... I'm not sure. Tecnicaly posible but you were summoned at random. They are not good at this.

>>5111059
the only rule is "The contract must be intelligible"
If you make it you earn it.

>>5111059
You're on the right path anon, but changing a word is DC4. We can do better.
>If the conditions were to be broken the signer would suffer rain until the infraction is corrected.
>pain->rain
One letter. DC0, auto succeeds. It just starts raining when we do whatever.

>>5111065
Then we just need to remove following, then make it rain.

So to solve a drought, we literally just pick up a shovel. Hillarious.

>>5111065
Lmao this

>>5111066
DC 5.

And the reason we dont just chnage 1 letter, is because faustian bargains have to be airtight.

>>5111065
Hahaha, alright, I'm down for this.

>>5111041
Changing my "if it fails" modification to that. I would like to obfuscate this by convincing them to add in a self-defence clause, though.

>>5111064
>... I'm not sure. Tecnicaly posible but you were summoned at random. They are not good at this.
NEW OBJECTIVE: SUMMON OUR CAT

>>5111070
Agreed. If we can learn to do so and only make it rain as a result, that's cool.

Though, loophole: we and our cat may or may not qualify as demons, but in summoning our cat, we aren't ATTEMPTING to summon a demon. We are ATTEMPTING to summon a cat... And if it is made a demon as a result, so be it. That isn't what we are attempting to do.

>>5111025
Change every “Y” in you to “L” so some pour sap named Lou has to bear the contract, but not us. That’s DC 0, so auto success across the board.

>>5111078
kek this too, let's fill the contract with nonsense.

>>5111060
If anything we can always fuck around until the undead get here, forcing them to release us.

>>5111080
>let's fill the contract with nonsense.
+4 DC for every change after the first. We can only change one single letter in the entire contract if we want it to remain DC0.

>This is ridiculous. As if some squiggles on the floor could really stop you. Just walk out.

The little voice of reason in the back of your mind tells you this is bullshit.
You can accept magic is real because you are here now, but you are not a demon and a some parts of the magic circle are painted on the rock instead of carved into it.
So you guess you are fine.
You take a deep breath and to the absolute horror of the elves, you begin to walk towards them.

Your heart skips a beat the moment you cross the lines in the floor.
After a few seconds, different circles changed color to purple and blue.
Small multi-colored rays emerged from them and were hurled towards you.

There was no time to react, they all hit you.
And now you felt uncomfortable, as if you are in a set of clothes that are too small, but that was all the effect they had.

The elves began to scream in panic and the kobold fainted.
The elven man froze as you spoke to him.
“So… what now?”

Kick the magic circles on the ground to break it or something.
Address the elves and ask them about the zombies. Dont worry. If we wanted them dead, we probably would had killed them. Also wheres the little lizard dog thing?

>A Student {-1 to Strength and Corporeality, +1 to Aberrance//Rascal; +3 to sneak and investigation //}
Abdrrance sounds interesting to have at least 1 point invested into it, instead of having none.

>Cook: Your meals gain “Your lingering injuries heal a bit faster next long rest”
>Fit: +1 Strength
Strength is for punching things, cooking for healing.

>>5111025
Since everyone is suggesting their own changes to the rules (although >>5111045's seem the most reasonable for the most part):

"1. You must obey orders from any holder of a ring of clan Seeker [within reason. The demon cannot be compelled to harm itself. The Owner's orders take precedence and cannot be contradicted by other holders of clan Seeker's rings and lower ranking ring holders cannot contradict the orders of higher ranked holders]Priority 2 Change
2. You cannot hold a ring of clan Seeker [unless directed to do so by the Owner]Priority Change
3. You may not take tools, weapons or souls without properly informing the owner. [unless the owner is imprisoned, unconscious, insane, otherwise incapacitated or in harm's way] Priority 4 Change
4. You must never harm sentient creatures without instruction from a holder of a ring of clan Seeker [unless in self-defense, or in the defense of a holder of the ring, the holder's allies, or innocents] Priority 3 Change
5. You shall not attempt to summon other demons [Cats are not demons]Priority 5 Change
6. You shall not consume the souls, blood or flesh of enemies [unless allowed by a holder of a ring, or for the purpose of aiding a holder should they be in danger] Priority 10 Change
7. You shall not be more than 1[0] miles away from a holder of a ring of clan Seeker [unless requested by the Owner or a holder of the ring to be further away, or in order to assist a holder when he or she is incapacitated] Priority 7 Change
8. You must not conceal information to holders of a ring of clan Seeker [unless requested by the Owner, or should such information potentially endanger a holder of the ring; information will be withheld until asked.] Priority 6 Change
9. You must not assist in criminal activities or aid criminals to escape justice [unless it is to the greater purpose of assisting the Owner, or a holder of the ring or their allies] Priority 8 Change
10. You must refrain from damaging homes or tools unless it breaks rules above.

[All rules will be in place until the holder of the ring nullifies the contract or the death of the signer.] Priority 2 Change
[If the conditions are broken the signer will suffer rain until the infraction is corrected.] Priority 9 Change
[In exchange for following these conditions the signer will gain the ability to roam the material world, assistance from the summoner to summon CAT, and permission to exit the summoning circle.] Priority 1 Change"

I don't know if I like there being so many words to refer to the dude's we're signing a contract with. Is it "the Seeker clan" or is Seeker a position within the clan? How many ring holders are there, and do we really want to have to obey all of them? Is Owner and holder different?

>>5111085
Let's try breaking the circle; it usually works in TV shows.

>>5111086
Let's go with a dude.

>Student
>Animal Empathy
>Mule (Camper is a good second choice)

>>5111087
G'night.

>>5111089
Because now we're invested and he wants to sleep.

>>5111100
Number 3 is priority 11.

>>5111104
... 2. Not 3. FFS.

>>5111104
>>5111110
Considering how we stepped out of the circle with little to no consequence, we might not need the rules after all.

>>5111117
True, I just spent enough time on it I figured I'd post it anyways; and if they still want one we're going to want a lot more benefits than "lmao you can run around in our world."

>>5111100
Mate.

You cant makes these changes without negotiation. And they arent going to renegade on these terms.
So why are you trying this?

>>5111092
I would swap camper for good hearing.
But this seems good.

>>5111117
Yeah, we may not need to do so.

Until more anons vote, it looks like 3 want student for magic potential, 2 want animal empathy (I dont know why, wouldn't animals run away from us because we almost a demon?). Its a three way tie between strength, mule, and camper for the second trait.

>>5111092
>>5111086
+1, lets become innawoods animal whisperer. I wonder what type of animal companions we can sway to our side with this setup.

>>5111131
Dealing with animals is always a good skill.

Mule, I genuinely dont see the value of, given you are only good for like. . Under the tongue or ingestion?

5 student
4 animal empathy
2 camper
1 good hearing
1 cook
1 strength
1 mule

>>5111134
I think I can understand the use for animal empathy, but only towards domesticated and tamed animals. Wild animals would either want to run away, keep their distance, or try to kill us if they're hungry. That's just my opinion though. Maybe the animals in this worlds are strangely social.

>>5111134
I figured it'd be good for rogue shenanigans, although I suppose it depends on whether or not QM typo'd there. Hiding things in yourself and on yourself are two pretty different things.

>>5111131
>>5111139
I went with animal empathy just because of our cat.

>>5111139
>strangely social
Our empathy trait makes US strangely good at SOCIALIZING them, anon.

Also, your count is wrong.

>>5111094
>>5111133
These two both supported my post without caveat, so that's three votes for Camper right there, counting mine.

>>5111144
>>5111145
Your right. Changing my vote for animal empathy.
We're in it for the CAT!

>>5111146
Not just CAT, also NEW WORLD MAGIC(?) CAT. Gotta catch 'em all.

>>5111149
But we shouldnt forget about our old cat. It's the first one, which means hes extra special.

What do you think should be the name of our old cat? I was thinking Satan for male, Santana for female.

>>5111139
Animals can also include more than just mundane ones, bare in mind.

I'd argue the wild animal usage is greater than domesticated. Making one leave you alone or refuse to attack you is not an insignificant power.

>>5111144
It isnt a typo. A "mule" is someone who hides contraband within their body to transport it through customs/over national borders. Usually drugs.

So being interior carry fits. It's just a super niche skill

>>5111169
>I'd argue the wild animal usage is greater than domesticated.
How?

>Making one leave you alone or refuse to attack you is not an insignificant power.
Isnt that for domesticated animals?

>>5111173
Oh that's kinda gross.

>>5111180
If you understand how an animal behaved, you understand how to tell them that you are dangerious, how you are not.

You can bare your teeth to dogs to tell them you are ready to fight, lower your eyes to tell them you dont want any trouble, wave your arms around to seem bigger to bears as a warning and you can listen to a snakes hiss to tell you if you are getting too close to comfort.

Once you understand their language you can speak it, once you can speak it you have a chance to "talk out" your problems like any normal person.
A hungry dog may still bite, but a scared hungry dog may decide you look too tough for it to handle and go find something easier to bite.

>Gross
Super dangerious too. If containers in the stomach get split, you have drugs flooding you from the inside.

>>5111207
Because ultimately SOMEONE has to tame animals, and that taming comes under animal handling.

A tamed animal is simply one taught that humans feed you, and biting them usually gets you not fed.
Tricks occasionally included as they understand that gets them treats.

Oh shit, should we pick a name?
Anon? Dick Chainy? Long Dick Johnson? Hitler Jr.?

>>5111230
Let's settle on a name and background first and wait for QM to prompt us for a name, maybe? Doesn't always happen. Maybe we'll just be "The Demon" to this world.

>>5111233
"The Demon" or Anon works for me, but I'm open to other names. For background we lived alone in an apartment with our cat, probably not a nice one since the elevator was broken unless that happened recently. We're a student so its probably a ahit appartment. We're fairly sneaky and have decent investigation skills. Maybe we were majoring in something related to those?

>>5111165
... Not Lucy?

>>5111363
Lucy is a good name, I like it.

>>5111363
Lucy works for boycat, Santana is classy for ladycat.

I'm too lazy to find a name for this MC just yet.

>>5111483
Sure, we can use those.

15-17 year olds don't count as shotas?
also, nice numbers

>>5111660
Normal animal or not, the same principle applies.
what separates man from beast is a capacity to reason. Which is why Tard wrangling is an animal handling check

…

With your newly realized freedom you begin inspecting the runic circles.
They are just causing a mild discomfort but you would prefer it to be gone.

As you begin smudging the drawn lines in an effort to stop the uncomfortable sensation.
The elves don’t even try to stop you, you simply remove all the sigils they had taken weeks to decipher in a few seconds.
When all the glowing circles are broken the tight sensation of your skin relaxes and you can easily breathe now.

You turn around , now only the unconscious lizard and the elven man are in the room.
“Hey, what happened to the gal?”
The scholar suddenly came back to reality from deep thoughts, being as surprise as you by the disappearance of his companion.
“oh, she probably ran away. Most likely is hiding.”
He took the contract you had dropped and began revising it.
“Sooo… is there any way I can convince you to sign this?”

Cany you summon my cat? I left her some food but I dont think she'll last alone by herself. Her name's Lucy.

What's the lizard on the ground?

Where are we exactly, and why are you trying to summon demons?

Why do you have horns?

Let's visit the security room. Maybe she fled there.

>>5111730
What makes you think I'm a demon? Maybe you did the magic wrong.

>>5111730

This is clearly just some weird ass dream. Maybe reflections of our subconscious desire to be desperately needed by someone. If we die here we are likely going to wake up back home. But on the other hand the plot seems interesting and the setting cool, plus the visuals are kind of swell, it would be a shame to not make the most of this situation.

"Okay, I realize argumentation cannot happen if we don't believe in the same facts of reality. You seem to have your wits about you, you're likely not an anti-vaxxer. So maybe the word 'demon' means something different to you than it does to me. Because you also assumed that a real demon would have already killed you by now, and I figure my definition of demon would have also done that, but... how about you just define 'demon' for me real quick. Maybe I am one by your definition, but I certainly am not one by mine. And as far as cosmic horror goes, don't try to think to hard about what a demon thinks a demon is."

I walk barefoot these empty halls in darkness, my bones ache and every time I brush against the walls I feel my flesh yield and deform like clay.
I just want it to stop, but I don't know how.
An addiction to a forgotten substance.
I try to fill the void that has left me with anything within my reach.
I can't stop it.

I just want to stop existing but even death is an elusive substance.
I scream into the dark hoping someone will come rescue me but it's just me and the worms under my skin.

They have been my food for quite some time now. We live in an incestuous cannibalization that appeases our hungers.
But it’s not enough, we dream of more, we dream of being satisfied.
There are others like me here, partaking in the twisted rituals that quench the hunger the same way you empty an ocean with a spoon.
A ingestion of the self in a dream to die, but it’s a dream.
Our bodies refuse to let us rest in peace.
Our torment is interrupted by light. People!
We scream in jubilation, we hope they will free us, but they are screaming.
Why do you scream?
We are the ones in pain, why do you imitate our wails?
Were you seeking freedom from your flesh?
We are rushing them, the Hunger calls and blood flows from both sides.

WHY!?
We are the ones in pain, release your blood to us! You will not trick me!
I will feed, you will scream with us! Share our burden and appease the Hunger!
-Rot eater thoughts as the expedition breached into their chambers.

You decide its best if you tackle the “Demon” issue head on or its going to get annoying very soon.
“"Okay, I realize argumentation cannot happen if we don't believe in the same facts of reality.
You seem to have your wits about you, you're likely not an anti-vaxxer. So maybe- ”

He takes out a notebook
“What is a Vax?” He ask you, waiting for your response like an excited schoolgirl.
You really should have seen this coming.

“Not the point. Just what IS a demon? Maybe you did the magic wrong.”
The elven scholar looks at you with a mix of indignation and fear.
“No, no, no, I will admit you are my first. But I can’t have messed up, the main summoning circle was intact and the Rot eaters are similar to you.
You did ignore the magic shot at you, that is a property of demons.”


This is getting confusing.
“Wait, what do you mean they look like me? Would that not mean they also look like you ?”
“Maybe you just need to see them to understand.
The good news is we have some time to prepare for them, the bad news is that’s because they are eating the rest of the expedition.
We are down to six people and one dwarven mercenary.”
You decide to drop it for now and go with more pressing matters.
“Can you summon my cat? I left her some food but I don’t think she'll last alone by herself.
Her name's Lucy.”

“I could try but just with a name is going to be difficult.
Summoning was illegalized since the Great war and most of the runes to make it work were destroyed.
This is a demon bunker that predates the war, so it’s more than 400 years old.”


Well, that gave way to more questions but you should stay in the present.
“What about your lizard friend? you might want to check on him.”
“Tog? Don’t worry, he is pretending to be dead so you don’t eat him.”
“Well, fuck you too buddy!” says the kobold as he stands up.
“It never works! Your race just gets killed each time you try that trick.”
“It works on animals!” The kobold retorts, then he looks at you
“I didn’t mean you, of course you would not fall for it… please don’t kill me.”
“I’m not going to, why do you keep asking that?”


Before they can answer that something enters the room.

It’s a huge figure that barely fits through the door.
The first thing that comes to your mind is a bear mixed with Bigfoot.
Its body is covered with a chainmail vest and many recent wounds, one of her eyes also looks blind.

The elven man takes the initiative, but avoids eye contact like a child that has broken something.
“Oh, Hildra, what brings you here?”
“Cut the crap wizard. What the fuck is that.” She points at you
“mmmh… a demon?”
“YOU IMBICILE!” she grabs him by the collar of his jacket
“This was you big plan to bust us out!? No wonder Anny could not speak when she enter.”
“Well, what are we supposed to do? The empire won’t let us leave because of the Rot”
“So your best idea was to bind a demon, Are you out of your mind!?”
“Actually we failed at that last part” The kobold chirps in.
“WHAT!”

The warrior drops Niven and grabs the warhammer with both her hands, preparing herself to strike despite her wounds opening again.
A small pool of blood begins to form under her while you consider how to defuse the situation.

Something something despite her battles her fur is lovely. Perhaps we can offer to sooth her aching muscles, after we get out of this undead tomb and her receiving some medical treatment. I dont know, something about big strong amazonian women really does it for me.

Eurasian Blue Tits usually grow to about 17 cm, 5 if it is Juvenile. Their eggs are around 15mm, but this changes with variables such as Climate, Diet, and Heredity. Assuming then, a newborn tit would be somewhere around 21 to 22mm.
Eurasian Blue Tits are also difficult to handle as pets, so Hildra must also be quite good with birds

She steps forward with the determination of crushing your skull.
You evaluate your options and decide that you can actually have a shot to convince her to stop.
You raise your hands, making her hesitate.
"If it helps I'm not actually hostile and have no desire to hurt you or anyone here.”
“I don’t care. If the stories are true, just being near demons is dangerous.”
“Also not a demon, last time I checked at least" you quickly reply.
[Roll:10+5 DC: 15 = Success]

She stares blankly at you, then she snorts while trying to hold her laughter and remain intimidating.
“Niven, what did you summon again.” You can see a fanged smile while she turns to the scholar.
He crosses his arms in indignation “It’s a demon alright! Well, technically a Hue-man.”
“Human.” You reply.

Hildra drops the combat stance and begins to wall out of the room.
“Okay boss, the demon can stay but I’m drinking the remaining alcohol.”
“Hildra, that’s for medical use only!”
“I’ll mix it with something.” She left the room with the kobold following behind.
He waved goodbye before disappearing into the hall way.

“Well, now you have meet our lovely dwarven mercenary” The scholar said
“Aren’t dwarves supposed to be small?” The thought accidentally escaped your lips
“Just the males. But anyway, come over, I will present you the remaining members of our expedition.”

Entering the security room turned encampment was odd.
A mix mash of jury rigged technology and bonfires under ventilation shafts.
Hildra was drinking from a bowl near one of the fires while talking to Tog.
The kobold probably putting up with her drunken nonsense in order to stick to the biggest thing here, in case you were not so friendly.


Anny, the elven woman who had summoned you was having a panic attack while another unknown tried to calm her down.
There were two others.
An unconscious elf with a deep wound across his chest and a scrawny elf trying to figure out technology around him.
A bit difficult considering there was no power on any of the switches and light bulbs.

Nevin pushed you closer to the elves in order to present them to you.
Emilia, as you soon learned, was their ranger and medic since the previous one got killed.
She kept her distance while trying to hide either fear or hatred.
You cannot tell.

The boy was Jericho, a young artificer that soon pushed the elven elder aside to shake your hand.
Quickly bombarding you with questions about Demon-tech and how did to incorporate magic into the machines.
He is a bit disappointed when you react with confusion and leaves you alone.
“Well, will you help us escape the Rot eaters.” The elven man was blunt with his intention
“How am I supposed to defeat the horde?”
“Well, the demon lord killed a god. We expected the undead would be easy for a demon.”
You decide not to question that last statement.


But how are you supposed to defeat the undead?

Well, this is all for today.
The parts of the map you don't see are because they haven't explored them.
But they are there

>>5112178
Let's find out what these guys know about the undead--how much damage do you need to do to put them down? What kind of damage? Is it like a zombie movie where you can put them down by removing the head, damaging the brain and/or the brainstem? Are they infectious? Is there some kind of magic/lore reason they're animated that our companions know?--and whether or not everyone can fit in the ventilation shafts.

If they can let's set up a chokepoint and a fall back position in the vents. If they can't, let's scout/explore through the vents.

Some questions and set a choke point.
I'm writting

“Why don’t you tell me about the Rot eaters?”
The was a spark of hope in the elf eyes “Does that mean you will help us?”
“I’m stuck here with you and I don’t want to die, so yes? Tell me how to kill them.”
“The best way is fire or dismemberment. I do know the disintegration spell but I need to touch them to cast it, but they are faster and stronger than us, almost on par with Hildra.”

So far this is useful information, but you wonder how creatures like this could exist in the first place.
“Are they infectious? Where do the undead come from?”
“When the demon lord defeated the god of law, in its last breath, he cursed his land so the fallen would rise and consume his kingdom, it got out of control. When Rot-eaters consume enough flesh they build nests where more emerge, that’s why the Tyr won’t let us out, they fear an outbreak.”
“So they are not infectious?”
“They carry plagues in their bites but the wounds can be treated as normal.”

That is good news, as you talk more with the man and strategize you realize you are dealing with six or seven monsters, not the horde you where imagining.
“What about the ventilation system?”
“You should ask Tog for that.”
Leaving the man tending to the wounds to the unconscious elf you approached the kobold.
As he saw you coming he inched a bit closer to Hildra, who was telling him the best ways to cook roots.
You sat on the opposite side of the bonfire to keep the jumpy creature calm.
“I need to ask about the ventilation shaft.”
“Why?”
“Can we use it to escape?”
Tog closed his eyes, trying to remember the beginning of the expedition.
“Some parts are intact but they are few. Also Hildra and Metis cannot go in them.”
“Metis?”
“The unconscious elf, we are not sure if he will survive.”
“Thank you for your help.”

You stand up and begin planning on how to set up a chokepoint.

…

A few hours later the entrance through the archives has been blocked and the small room filled with electrical cables and runes has been filled with tables and debris to clog up the only path to you.
Only a path large enough to fit one person remains.
You are proud of your work and feel safer despite the wails the come from the darkness ahead.
“Hey Tog, can’t we get some power for the lights bulbs?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about demon, this demon-tech is a maddening labyrinth of pointless cables and switches. How are you supposed to get enough energy for all of this?”
The kobold is clearly annoyed as he draws the circuits that cover the room into a notebook.
“I supposed there must be a generator somewhere.”
“Fuck, and how many souls are you supposed to feed it a day?” the kobold looks at you in fear.
“What?”
“What?”

You still have time before the undead arrive

undead don't care for cuts and I doubt we have the dexterity to go well for sinews or other things
and impalement won't stop them, but could work as crowd control to limit their movement for someone else to take care of, yet I doubt we'd have the trust to make this team effort work.
alternatively we can use this for the trust exercise, so if we need a tie break I'd switch to spear, but for now:

Some cables are made of stone or something akin to wood, but there are the classical electrical wires as well.
Getting some real electricity in this place could be an edge against the undead.
The room in electric seems to work as distribution point, so it must be directly connected to the power source.

Tog gives you a puzzled look while you use your hand to feel the cables through the wall.
Eventually they converge on a specific point in a wall.

Crawling through the vents , that to your surprise are made from perfectly cut stone, you reach the “generator”.
It looks like a car engine with biological parts, a abomination that you could see in come from H.R. Geiger.
Setting it to work took time and tinkering with pieces that reminded you of bones, and you only managed to make it start in a very janky way that would not last.
But at least the lights from this room turned on with some literal wails from the machine.

You returned to the room in electric but time had taken a toll on the structure, so with a bit of help from Jericho you began fixing the network.

do we have time to experiment? what that shit does?

>>5113138
I can do it in 10
but still...

I propose:
doors without energy usually stay closed, I hope. We already have a plan with choke points so rather not change that
but we can try to get as many random stuff online as possible as well as the lights of the foremost numbers L1 and L2
but it's basically a wildcard

>>5113138
We should probably try and figure out what C, A and S are before we commit to anything. My personal guess:
S is probably some sort of Security System, potentially good if it only targets the undead but also potentially devastating if it targets anything within the facility which would put us and our situational allies in danger. This is a demon bunker after all, who knows how their security systems work.

... actually that's all I have for confident guesswork. A maybe stands for 'Auxilliary', but what it's an auxilliary system of (if it is) I wouldn't be able to guess. Perhaps it powers backup computers of some kind.

C I have no clue for what it could be.

Turning on some lights probably won't screw us over and is therefore the safest bet. We can turn on three lights max with five points to spend, at least if I am checking this diagram correctly. Doors I would prefer remain closed, we don't want to accidentally open a new path into our little sanctuary that we wouldn't know about until it's too late.

>>5113164
>do we have time to experiment? what that shit does?
maybe.
lights will defently make the rot eaters beging to move.

>>5113174
A could be Archive, and S Security Room from the map, but it's all just guesswork

>>5113175
if people will support me I'd only turn on S alone first

>>5113179
That seems to be the case. S for Security, A for Archive. That C is on the black spot on the map right next to the archives. Computer Room maybe? And the W is one of the half-revealed rooms on the bottom. I would also support turning only S and the lights on first.

That is such a small thing that it would not make an update so i will just post it.

The dots mean something is missing, be it power or other.

---
Trying to guess where the different connections lead, you decide to do a test run.
You connect one of the ports to the connection base.
You suspected it was for the security room and you got it right.

The lights in the room came on and an electric buzz took shape.
Several red lights on the wall began to flash and what you previously thought was a stone panel lit up like a screen,
displaying a complete map of the facility.

You still don't know the meaning of the signs but at least you had something.

>>5113204
>"We should murder the architect who designed this."
Have the map copied down for further strategizing

So of the 11 things we can turn on now W, Vnt and S are on, leaving 8 off, but there are 7 blue dots on here. That doesn't exactly align for theory one, unless L1 are the main lights for everywhere, leaving the other 6.

We had a contamination room for entering and exiting, and the top left most rooms are interesting, like a holding and observation room. But nothing that'd be like cells for experiments?

No clever ideas come to mind tho

>>5113204
Let's definitely copy this map down. Based off of >>5112183 the electricity is more or less functioning where we've set up camp which is probably good for our defenses but not necessarily for getting out of here.

Possibly connect A to see what changes and whether or not we can figure out what it's supposed to be? We probably want to prioritize exploring the rooms with two dots if possible.

>>5113265
Conecting A will be a proper update so i will begin writing.

You decide to keep testing, powering up the next room.
You connect port A to the network and a couple of sparks fly.

Nothing remarkable seems to have happened.
You decide to follow the wiring through the wall, locating the room that has recovered energy.


You pass through the campground, leaving Anny and Jericho behind in a debate over the meaning of symbols on broken panels.
You walk past the summoning room and enter the archives with a borrowed oil lamp.

The light has not yet been restored.
You are in a spacious room with stone columns.
The floor is covered by debris from shelves that have rotted and fell.
The objects that they contained, were it books or other memorabilia, broke and withered.

You follow the cables, which are intertwined with roots until you lose sight of them.
In the dark, you hear the heavy sound of someone breathing.

You take out your hammer and prepare for the worst.
You wait with the lantern raised.
It feels like an eternity, but then you hear it.
"Master, is it you?" It is a strange voice, as if each word hurts the speaker.
You can follow the sound of the voice.
You advance following the roots until you run into the poor soul that spoke.

The wall is broken by wood and roots, a tumor that spills into the room.
Sticking out of the mass and merging with it, is a creature.
Its guts eaten by artificial vegetation and its eyes gouged out, the man still lives.


"Master? How can I serve?"
You don't know how to react.
Your brain acts automatically and you raise your voice
"Who you are?"
"I am the archivist, master. How can I serve?"
"How are you alive?"
"I am not allowed to die as long as the master does not order it, sir.
Are you going to free me at last?"

“I vow to free you by weeks end, but I still need you for a little while longer."
“I exist to serve.” His voice did not waver, even with his disappointment.

“What is this place?”
“This are the archives for experimentation station delta.”
“Am I a demon? What do you know of their world?”
The man remained silent for a while, weighing his options and what you want to hear
In the end, he comes to the conclusion you are testing him.
“The honorable humans cannot be compared to mere monsters.
They are resistant to the words of god and are falsely branded monsters for it.”
“Didn’t humans do this to you?”
He does not answer that question.

“How much do you know about summoning?”
“Nothing, the techniques were forbidden by the Empire and the Human confederacy.”

There are too many details, small and large that try to blur the picture of this world.
You decide that the best way is to get a general overview of the things that happened.
“Tell me your history, who were you?”
His expression changes, nostalgia and regret seep into his voice.

“I was born shortly after the Emperor of Kansih created his slave human army to fight the giants.
I was made soldier when the humans revolted and destroyed Kanish.
I came back to my ruined land when I was a man to purge humanity.
I killed elven and tyr, humans only when we had the numbers.
I was a bandit that wanted revenge, and I got captured by humans eventually. This is my penance.”

You were going to ask more, but a distant scream interrupted you.
It came from the camp.

After rushing to the room you find that the Rot eaters have finally arrived.
Luckily there’s only two
Hildra is taking care of the one who broke through while Jericho and Tog use some spears to keep back the one currently in the chokepoint.
Niven appears to try to gather courage to attack the one who got through while the females use short bows to perform attacks that seem to do nothing.

You move towards the one the mercenary is battling, striking with your hammer on his sides.
You can hear the crunching of bone but it does not wince.
It continues its savage assault without paying attention to you.

Rolls 19 + 5(strength) + 5 (Hildra) / DC 16 + 5 (Strength) / Result: Success 2d4 + 2 damage = auto kill

Hildra makes a push with her hammer, stunning the creature.
You take the chance to strike its knee, bending it in the opposite direction.
When it fell, the war hammer soon followed, smashing the torso and putting a hole through the moster.

…

Tog was having trouble keeping the thing back.
How something this big had snuck on them was a mystery
and how the famished creature was exerting that amount of force was another.

The black mass was a filled with hands reaching for him, like a school of piranhas.

Rolls 12 +2 (Tog) +3(Jericho) / DC 14 + 5 (Strength) / Result: Failure 2 damage each.

The creature grabbed the spears and moved them to the sides,
Letting its bulk fall into the barricade and closer to its prey.
Jericho tried to run but got lashed in his back.
Tog had no such luxury.

The monster grabbed him by the arm and sank its teeth on it.
His flesh strip from the bone.
He screamed as he punched the creature in a last dich effort to escape its hunger.

…
When you finally dispatched the second creature tog was convulsing on the floor.
The elves acting quickly to save its live while Jericho cried in the corner.

You have won this battle, yet it’s not a victory.
You have confidence that you will survive the Rot eater, but you are not sure the rest can.
At the very least you have bought yourself more time.

Okay, tie his arm off tightly further above to stop the blood flow.
get water boiling to have it sterilized, clean around the wound first so as to not recontamine it when eventually cleaning it
remove foreign objects, like teeth or whatever.

You decide to help the wounded.
The group does not fully trust you yet and you can still see fear in their eyes.
But they don’t stop you.
The biggest fear apparently is infection, so you take your time carefully removing the bits of teeth
And sewing up the wound.
Meanwhile Niven uses some minor spells to stop the blood.

Roll 14 +5 Dc 12 Result = Success

The wound is deep and several chunks of flesh have been removed,
but after cleaning it you have hope he will be able to use the limb again.
The final touch was to put a splint just in case the bone had received damage.
You even got to keep a coin with the healing rune on it.

<Minor heal = [1 Aberrance] (Range: Touch) (Heal 1 Corporality)> Spell acquired
The elven woman who summoned you came closer while you cleaned yourself of blood.
“Hi, I, errr. Thank you and sorry for running away when we… called…”
She is still holding to that rosary for comfort, yet it’s not helping her find the words she wants.
“ I am an archeologist so maybe you can help me understand some demon culture.
I’m Anny by the way, and you areee- EMILIA, stop that!”

You turn to seen the elven ranger dissecting the Rot eaters and stashing organs into jars.
“But they would sell so well! Just their head for collectors is a lot of money. “
“No you are not smuggling that, it’s illegal.” Anny's ears began to wiggle.
“You summoned a demon! Don’t lecture me!" The she points at you "Demon, side with me on this one. It’s going to be so sweet when we sell it!”

The two women begin arguing over the merits and disadvantages of selling rot eater organs.

I'm torn between these two options. It's probably more efficient to fix the electrical system and then explore since it'll probably reduce the amount of redundant running around we end up doing but it's probably time we got a better lay of the land and an idea about where the rest of the undead are... Especially since I'm not sure the camp can weather anymore surprise attacks.

You return to the control panel and continue with your jury rigged repairs.
Reconnecting and narrowly avoiding electrocuting yourself.

[All ports have been connected]

The lights in the halls turn on and the veins of the bunker flow with electricity again.
The distant sound of machinery restarting can be heard.

“How did you do that?” a voice says behind you.
*OH SHIT*
You are startled by the interruption of the young elf.
You didn't realize that he was watching you.
“Can you teach me? I can give you-“he begins rummaging through his bag
“not much.” He says a bit disappointed in himself. “Do you accept blood?”
He is dead serious about his offer.
“No?”
“Okay, let me think of something and I will come back later.” He then scuttles past you

Go back to the group and announce we got the facility at least somewhat operational

>>5115571
QM pls paint in and tell us ingame from which doors the protag has already observed the Rot to come from


>>5115799
right. I wasnt sure of whether they got eventually trapped by the rot from outside the facility or if they were already inside. I sorta assumed the former while still wanting to go conquer one room after the other to clear out one dead end so the rot can only come from the other direction

desu I expect another vote between talking to the group and heading out, but since QM is now at university again he may want to keep up the pace and immediately follow up on writhing the further plans we lay out

so newly defined thing vote:
>go back to the main group
>get someone to the tree man. Order the treeman to not harm them (not that he would, but to set their minds at ease)
>clarify if they have already seen Rot come from the side of the facility we plan to clear out
then:
>ask for company to explore one section of the facility, the reason is threefold:
>>we don't want to get pincered
>>the map tells us it loops around to another room near the exit
>>there might be useful stuff there, even if it's just rubble with qhich we can block of the Rots advance

You return to the encampment and talk with Anny
Who is now trying clean the undead corpses by stuffing them into a corner.
You tell her and the kid if they wanted to speak to a pre Great War person.

“Is this some kind of deal we have to give our soul to you?”
“I would take it.” Jericho says, enticing a look of disapointment from her college.
They are terribly suspicious when you ask them to follow you, but comply.

You lead them to the archives, the lights are now on, letting you see the deterioration all the better.
“Has the master returned?” the arboreal prisoner asked, eliciting a squeak of delight from the kid.

He eagerly began studying the cell and trying to speculate how the man was kept alive.
The elven woman maintained composure and greeted it politely, making an insightful conversation on what was the fortress like.
You stay on the sides, letting the archeologist satiated their curiosity.
You learn a few things about this place.
Apart from living quarters, they tested spells here.
So finding artifacts is probable.
You began to leave the two geeks do their thing when you spotted Hildra’s head poking through the entrance.
“You can go talk to the man if you want, seems like he enjoys having conversation.” You remark
“nah, I was just checking you weren’t eating them or something.”
You can almost see a smile through her fur.
But she just turns around and returns to the security room.

…

When you step inside everyone seems more calm than when you left.
They really were expecting that you would eat those two.

“I’m going to go check more rooms to search for a safe way out and artifacts. Does someone want to come?”
They begin to eye each other, not wanting to go but scared of leaving you out of sight.
“Fiiiiiine, I’ll keep a eye on the demon.”
Emilia walks towards you with her bow on hand.
“But if you try anything , I will put an arrow on you.” She whispered the threat.
“Don’t worry, I will behave if you cover me.”
“Deal, now let’s get going fuckboy.”

…

You explore the southern part of the fortress without a problem.
Its mostly empty space and debris left by time.
There is little to be found with few exceptions
the storage room, contained a lost expedition member that hung itself before the rot eaters found him.
And the kitchens, that apart from oxidized equipment, had a nice collection of flammable fluids.

[Acquired Fuel * 2]

You had to halt your little incursion in what seemed to be a waste disposal plant.
It was flooded, the black water rose to your waist.
“If you want to go through that you go alone.” The ranger was quick to say.

is it like stairs downward and upward on the other side? A ladder? or is the hallway just going downwards and everything beyond the room likely flooded as well?

how do we know it's waist high? can we see the bottom? Because I've played enough Resident Evil to know not to mess with aquatics without the proper gear.


either way, I say we build a booby trap that would make lots of noise if anything were to come from this direction.

“But you definitely are a fuckboy. A demon going to a back room followed by two elves for an awful lot of time,
there must be thousands of erotic stories with that premise. ”

“I was showing them something.” you reply
Maybe not your smartest move
She looks at you with a smug face
“Yes you were. We feared you ate them so we sent Hildra, and she came back very quiet and disappointed.
You were definitely doing pervy things with them. Did you make the boy watch or did he participate?”

“Fuck off, you can go see later what caught their attention.”

"You thought when a demon - which I'm not - who just returned from a threesome - which I didn't, asks to be alone with someone else again that you should volunteer, because you are well read in erotica?"

She laughed while slightly blushing
“Okay, fair point charmer. But what is your angle then?
You just get summoned and, instead of getting angry or demanding stuff, you just help us out of the shit we dragged you in?
Makes no sense, you must be planning something.”

“I plan to summon my cat.”
“Ha, good plan.”

“And you didn’t answer my question, why did you come with me?”
She gets more nervous
“Gold, of course! Do you know how much a demon artifact can be fence for?”
She then shows you a bag filled with a wide assortment of junk and trinkets.
“Neat right?”
“Looks like junk.” You say.
“They don’t know that.” She giggles gleefully.

…

>look for more loot (Storage room) [Roll = 19 +5 Dc 12 Result: Critical Success]
You return the storage room and begin combing it in earnest.
This place was mostly use for the storage of food and other kitchen supplies that have long since spoiled and rusted.
But this place is huge, and eventually you find a gem between this rubble.
You find two to be precise, a butcher’s knife in pristine condition and creepy lantern in the shape of a skull.
“Those are definitely cursed. How much do you think they are worth?”
The elf seems very enthusiastic about selling them.

[Rending cleaver = 1d4 +2 damage, - 2 to hit ]

But you hear the wails of the undead.
The come from the main hall, a place that you have not yet explored.
You could return to the camp in the security room or you could try to prepare an ambush fro the nearing undead here.
And there is always the option to make a lot of noise and then flee, leaving the undead confused about your position

I guess if they were to make their way from the main hall to camp, the security room, they would have to pass the Living Room which connects to the part of the map we are currently in, so we could pincer them

As for compensation, we'd like some of the things we find, considering we have next to nothing in this world. We're effectively a bum.

Set an ambush for the monster.

Does the lantern give us a temporary +1 Aberrance to use, or requires a minimum of 1 Aberrance to use?

The butchers knife, is that a -2 for us to hit things, or a -2 for peoe trying to hit us?

You are not sure if it’s a group or a large creature but you are not going to face it in the open.
You give a quick order to the ranger and you both rush to the camp.

You find most of them where you left them, Hildra snoring while the Niven tends to the kobolds wounds.
But now the wounded and unconscious elf had awakened.
He tries to introduce himself but you don't have time right now
You give a shout, ordering the group to stand up and go outside to set up a barricade.
After some skepticism of your order, the undead wails make them move into action.
A few minutes later the way to the main hall is properly blocked off by a pile of scrap and rubble.


Anny then inputs a numerical code in a nearby panel, and closes the door.
"You could do that?" you ask her
“No, the Archivist gave me a list of this after I ask about the doors. He also said he wanted to speak with you.”
Neat, you think to yourself, thinking on the many other secrets of the bunker the man may have.

[Interaction consequence: Bunker Delta Keycode: All doors with electricity can be opened and locked]

Then the banging on the door starts
They won’t be able to immediately break through it, so you make better defenses against the undead.

…

They eventually bend the metal door to their will, their hunger is to great.
There are three of them, two are your size while the largest one barely fits through the door.
You see and odd semblance to Hildra

You can see a spark of regret when they rush at your improvised fort.
Maybe they knew they were falling directly to into trap.
But it doesn't matter.


What are your defenses?
>[Use 1 fuel] A small explosive trap ( they all receive 2 fire damage)
>[Use 2 fuel] A large explosive trap (They all receive 4 fire damage)
> A runic trap set by Niven (All your attacks receive a +2 to hit)
>A reinforced chokepoint (All your successful attacks deal 1 extra damage)
>Write in

Roll me your attacks (What weapon?)1d20 Bo3

The lantern uses 1 aberrance to be lit, the same way a spell does. You recover aberrance after a long rest.
The butchers knife is a -2 to hit things, you recive the penalty.

Rolled 16 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>5117290
You're probably not going to let us use all the options, which is fair, so I'll go with this.
> A runic trap set by Niven (All your attacks receive a +2 to hit)
Switch the the butcher knife for maximum lethality (penalty countered by runic trap bonus). We have a 1d20 bo3 chance to land a hit, while everyone else is +2 more likely to land blows. Its seems like a good trade off.

>>5117290
>A large explosive trap

Rolled 1 (1d20)

>>5117290
>[Use 2 fuel] A large explosive trap (They all receive 4 fire damage)
Let's not take chances here.
>Roll me your attacks (What weapon?)1d20 Bo3
Hammer, the Cleaver's increased miss chance is brutal.

>>5117376
A minus 2 to hit ain't so bad when it's best of three.
>1
What have you done. We better hope someone rolls a 20, or do 1's and 20's crits not work the same way? It's only a crit if we roll above or below a margin of 6 for the DC?

>>5117382
>What have you done
well, shit

>>5117290
>The butchers knife is a -2 to hit things, you recive the penalty.
to hit is on a d20 tho, right?

Rolled 4 (1d20)

>>5117290
>> A runic trap set by Niven (All your attacks receive a +2 to hit)

>>5117390
yes, like D&D

>>5117382
Roll me your attacks (Strength) (What weapon?)(+ Bonus for coordination) 1d20 Bo3
Don’t worry, 1 or 20 don’t override the roll.
You get a crit when your roll+modifiers have a difference of 12 with the DC
It was made this way since a lot of people dislike how a bad roll could end everything.
This way, you only get crits with a combination of luck and bonuses from good planning/equipment

Rolled 17 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>5117290
> A runic trap set by Niven (All your attacks receive a +2 to hit)
I enjoy hoarding, and it combos with the knife.
>Attack with Rending Cleaver
The big one. The cleaver is too powerful for the small ones, we would have a lot of lost damage. Also, we have the highest strength.
While there's a case to be made for nuking the small fry, it involves the others tanking the big one for a turn, and they may just get deleted due to bad stats. Remember, less expedition members means less expendable bodies and less loot we can carry. Also less plot and character development.

>Small explosive trap
>Rune-trap.

Rolled 11 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

Clever time baby

Rolled 15 (1d20)

One of the elf ladies or whatever was pulling pieces for the zombies. We are effectively piss poor in this world. Can we get a little cut into that enterprise?

>>5118002
lets see how this world fares against modern economic ideas
but let's leave get rich quick schemes for a later date when we aren't in mortal peril

Rolled 20, 17, 11, 7, 17 = 72 (5d20)

Rolled 1 + 2 (1d4 + 2)

Your damage

Rolled 2, 2 = 4 (2d2)

elves damage

Since you did 6 rolls i will make 2 rounds of combat

Rolled 20, 17, 14, 14 = 65 (4d20)

Rolled 3 + 2 (1d4 + 2)
