You met some highborn elves and a dragon faithful to their cause, which lead to a name-giving ceremony for the four or you.
Your siblings have been named Verthicha (The Mountain), Throdenslemoni (Of Many shapes), and Wanotreyxkaiv (The Princess)
You also recruited a master Runesmith, Borri Ironbrow, and one thing leading to an other, Urist Fonderferson the steel smith and Thurmoum, the Orichalcum smith. You also have stolen the whole dwarven orichalcum reserve and kidnapped their king, corrupted by chaos. Strangely, the bearded Axe-crazy people doesn't seem to take goodly your benevolence.
After a few battles, you succesfully routed skaven, dwarven and undead forces several times. Your sibling acquired their own guardians :
Kvar the dwarven child, Verthicha's Mountainborn'
Chadlin the snotlin, Verthicha's bedrock's steadiness'
Edwyrd the dexterous highborn elf, Throdenslemoni's Infiltrator
Gwendolyne the Empire Noble, Wanotreyxkaiv's Gracious Ruler
Hector overreacted to the loss of one of his fodder knight, but this ain't a story about them anyway.
You are slowly tuning your lair to your taste and need, with the crafting of the Three-Moon Astrolabus, the Orichalcum Scepter, and the Glass Pannel flooring, respectively enhancing your Divination, Light Magics and Breath attacks
Right now, you are on a quest to find Mother.
Well, it started like this. But dwarves saw you, captured you and Throdenslemoni, you escaped, saved your sister, and try to stage a coup at their hold totally not out of spite but for their greater good.

>Crit fail in Breath-Hunting
The stars are beautiful. This thought have bounced a thousand time in your head tonight. It distracted you from hunting, and you've been flying for several hours, remembering how far you've come.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTWOAJJ9s1g
This is a complete disaster, one that will have consequences on your stamina.
>White will suffers one level of exhaustion
Back to the camp, the dwarves are asleep around a campfire's embers, with a good chunk of a big-roasted something remaining.
"You've been out for a long time. Found an old treasure?
- Sort of.
- I'll share the meat with you, but you have to share the riches with me. It's fair?
- Not really, you have this treasure too. Memories.
- Like when we shared hunt's spoils as hatchling. Or you share your necklace's safe space despite me and Verthicha being mean instead of sending us on our way as safer diversions.
Good memories."

You'll have to take decisions about new day. Jerking around in the hills and forest didn't got you anything, and might not give anything today either.
>Jerk around in the hills and forest anyway. Find the beehives.
>Go in the hold frontally, kill and maim anything in the way, and Coup Lenopaon style.

The weather is nice, the forest is welcoming. That almost makes you forget your lack of sleep.
However, after two hours in the woods, a voice is heard among your little troop.
"What are we exactly doing?
- Looking for the beekeeperrr, to prrovide an alibi for you guys on why you dezzerrted, to infiltrrrate the hold.
- Yeah, that doesn't look like it works. Either we do something real, or I'm out

Wait, could we roll one more perception dice if our sister helps? She can fly too.

>>5518113
>Write-in what you're doin'
Coffee anon here with my sleep demons. Why are we after this one bee keeper guy again? Hes just a bee keeper. Instead why not go chat up some scouts to convince to join us? Or, ask our two dwarven friends here if there are any above group outposts? Scout posts? Places above ground for dwarves to alert the hold of things....you know what I mean. If that doesnt work then I vote we attempt another miracle.

>>5518125
This seems like a good idea. Target isolated outposts to convince of our goal and smiggle ourselves and loyalists in with a Shiftchange. Then continue our spreading of the word of overthrowing the greedy thanes.

>>5518113
I think it might be netter to start looking for more isolated patrols and trying to get them on our side.
If we can recruit someone quickly enough, they might be able to return to the keep and work as an insider.
Getting a priest or lower ranked noble eventually is our best bet in the long term, but it will be harder.

Also I bet he would get along great with Grudim.

>>5520805
maybe he could be. On the lookout for a proper Lord or Lady to serve i would guess. And with his stats he is likely very survivable.

But in the End it is QM's decision since i did not go as in depth as i did with Claire or our good Edgelord part Ork Julius Carnelion

>>5520806
he would also get along quite well with Claire i would imagine. Sharing tips for cooking and unusual ingredients.

While looking for more dwarves to corrupt, you stumble on a dwarf fit with armor and weaponry. Another guard.
>64 : partial success
Seeing you, his first reflex is to draw his axe and shout for reinforcement. But he stops right on his track upon seeing his comrade on your side.
"Fili?"
-No, Bili. I'm Kili.
- Y'a aint dead? Ya join da wyrm?
- Let me bring you up to speed...
Are they born as a caste of soldiers, with similar names? Are those sworn names? Is that mere luck? The mystery lingers while your co-conspirator enroll one more dwarf in your revolution.
Happy with yourself, your bigger party goes toward the meeting point, while you wonder about dwarf naming peculiarities.
>91 : Frank success
To be met with a collection of ten foragers which have joined your sister.
Looks like the common dwarf can be swayed fast enough. Another proof of the uneasiness plaguing that hold.
However, dwarves are loyal. This can go awfully wrong, when the Thane will come back. And the dwarves closer to the power, or benefiting from the greed, will be a sure obstacle.
Despite everything, your little conspiracy looks like it goes well.
>... Well enough to let it run on its own. You have places to go, people to meet, time to move on.
>You have enough inside dwarves. Missing one and dragons in the necklace, foragers inside, Morph Purple as Bili, go purge the command
>Infiltrate as stated above, keep corrupting dawis. You have to rock up those numbers.

>>5520819
>Infiltrate as stated above, keep corrupting dawis. You have to rock up those numbers.

One of them can just carry us inside where we can continue corrupting dwarfs to turn against their Leadership.

okay for an Empire Knight Post?

Would you want something more?

>>5520819
>Infiltrate as stated above, keep enlightening dawis. You have to rock up those numbers.

>>5520810
Well, I was thinking beyond just their love of cooking, because the way I wrote Grudim, his food were a bit close to accidental alchemy,giving buffs and the like, since I was trying to rip off Grom the Pounch.
So someone that has an interest in both alchemy and cooking would be curious about it

>>5520842
oh right. The Goblin eating a Troll uncooked and surviving. Funny story.

I was thinking Claire because she likes to use unusual ingredients which could possibly come close to Alchemy.

But now I'm imagining a feast with Allonoso, Claire and Grudim cooking together, at the same time helping eachother and butting heads on the way things should be done.
Some times it's good to have a bit of comic relief. I used to dislike greenskins when I got introduced into warhammer, but now they are my favorite.

>>5520819
>Infiltrate as stated above, keep purifying dawis. You have to rock up those numbers.
We do not “corrupt”. We “purify”. This is an important if arbitrary distinction since we’re fighting chaos here.

>>5520833
Perfect.
Might be an equitanian Knight though.

>>5520844
I'll be honest, I forgot she did things dungeon meshi style.
>>5520847
It means this could possible end up happening for real

>>5520849
it matters little since i gave no real explanation for his background.

might do some more Knightposting later on if i find some more inspirational pictures

>>5520854
she hasnt done so on Camera i think. Though she has been the cook for the group so far.

>>5520819
>Infiltrate as stated above, keep corrupting dawis. You have to rock up those numbers.
We need more soldier types plus we need some dwarfs who have influence like priests and smiths and such. Ask the dwarves for possible candidates to join us.

>>5521085
The older brother is a lot more honest and genuinely good. The younger brother is a lot more self centered what with him being not the most competent at fighting.

Also the Dice really played into them i have to say.

>>5521090
I guess the Citrus joke ended up being true.
My head canon is now that their family land produces limes, lemons, oranges, tangerines and grapefruit, and they only became rich recently because of scurvy protection.
Boat knight probably knows them.

>>5521095
Boat knight and citrus knights probably have some form or relation, be it trading partners or friends. They definitely deal with each other due to boat night's family's capacity to ferry citrus goods, and citrus knight's goods protecting sailors from scurvy with their fruits and with grog. Grog or scrumpy. What ever that diluted booze sailors drink.

How many errants do we have? We have Hectors band and Mathias's band, am I missing any?

>>5521132
Ah, a man
A lot, there are the ones we made in the thread, plus the ones we already had and I think two more made afterwards, that QM said will fit in as actual knights, not errants.
Although we know atleast two are gone, either dead or MIA

>>5521137
I accidentally deleted the part that I sad "a man after Nicolas own heart" while writing the second part

>>5521137
Boniface and who else?
Yeah I know these are knights and not errants but I just assumed QM grouped them together to make it easier to know who is where instead of having to keep tabs on them all because that would be impossible

>>5521146
Oh, I forgot Boniface died. That's atleast 3 then
I meant the asshole that was with Hector initially, before the first round of knighposting, that decided to charge an army and disappeared.
And the one QM said should have been a wizard, he revelaed he was dead during the tournament and we were searching for someone that could read Renée's letter.

>>5521132
so we have a Mathias Fanboy XD

neat. he is very charismatic and will be the life of the party. The Tombkings would hate him.

>>5521172
I thought Mathias was running B team while Hector ran A team, am I mistaken? Besides this guy is based on Robert Baratheon, sadly his fighting is not the highest (still good tho) but he has his charisma!

>>5521176
... maybe i am misremebering something....

no your right. Mathias is the Captain of the B Team yeah. We should maybe ask for more Errants that might be trustworthy to help secure our position in the future.

So yeah that should read Nicholas.

Robert Baatheon.... is he from some book? Sounds vaguely familiar.

>>5521183
It's from Song of Ice and Fire, that series famous for having a show with a bad final season

>>5521183
Game of Thrones aka Bobby G
(He was the king at the start of the show and the beginning of the books till he was assassinated through a hunting accident due to being overly intoxicated which was the catalyst for the conflicts ahead)
Originally I wanted to make Stannis Baratheon but I could not find a picture of his full armour which is sad but perhaps next time around.
>>5521185
That season really killed any influence it had in pop culture, huh? At least the new series is pretty good and when the fatass releases his next book in 2029 it may revive some of the hype.

>>5521185
aaaahhhhh. okay. that explains it. I read the first two books.... then it just became too meandering in the third and i dropped the series.

>>5521187
thank you for your explanation and it makes sense now. He was King of the Stag or something like that before his death.

i never watched the series to be honest. i was just not interested.

>>5521185
>Show with a bad final season
Ah, that show where a mafia family sat around a table eating, when a guy who piloted a boat into a hurricane came into their winter cabin and then asked whether they wanted the red, blue, or green ending before it cut to black?

Yeah. Good show up until the end. I could be misremembering it though, I’ve blocked it out pretty well.

Its Homebrew. Their BBEG is an ancient magician wishing to return his long since destroyed home to a proper place after an infernal bargain resurrected him long after the Kingdoms fall. For that he ressurrects the Kingdoms old nobility until he can transfer their power to himself to take control of the Kingdom ancient Golem Armies and elevate himself into the Place of Godking over the lesser races.

Right now my players are invading a lair of their BBEG that was camouflaged as a caravan resting spot with an Inn, several small shops and all covered by a big wall to keep out "Animals". They want to sabotage the Spellscrollprdouction Operation there and after fooling the commander of the local Garisson that they were sent by the owner they were allowed to go into the underground parts. Where they encountered some pretty dangerous monstrous Guards which they defeated but only killed one off. Now they are on a time Limit to finish the disruption before the Garisson or more such monstrous Guards come down on top of their head.

Pic attached is the Homebrew statblock. and the BBEG is currently gathering these leftover soldiers of a primordial conflict and binding them to his service through the magic he discovered.

Interesting. Here is how my last session of Curse of Strahd went
Players got Ireena out of Strahd's dirty hands. Strahd didn't understand and invited them to the castle. They stroke a deal - tell him where she went and they can wander around in the castle with Rahadin as a tour guide, or don't and die. They did, Strahd got a bit mad, they went out, walked 15 minutes before raising Leomund's tiny hut. They woke up on the castle drawbridge, with Strahd having raised adventurer Vampyrean to great them : a werewolf thief to match the bard having a bad time with wolves, a Druidess for the heavy-armored priest that doesn't like heat metal that much, a vampyromancer for the ice draconic sorcerer. The ranger's nemesis was the post sign.

They won way too easily. Next time they'll be ambushed by 4 tortle Kensei Monk, each equipped with 2 or 3 tactical Vampireberries and full sacs of ball bearing.

Petit Dieu, soon to be squire to Sir Hector.
A young child who one day stumbled upon Griffinmount, a bloodied muddied amnesiac mess. Through the kindness of his sponsored mentor, the child joined the knight as his squire, always there to aid his elder to the best of his abilities, especially through his abilities. Though his circumstances were unfortunate, one could consider him blessed by The Lady herself. A mane of hair purer than the whitest snow, eyes as kind as sunshine, and a soul suffused *her* light, it is no wonder that young Dieu was gifted a fragment of her magic in the form of healing.
Though at times this squire of Hector may be prideful, or greedy, or a massive trickster, he is kind and considerate where it matters.

This is my disguise for White if he ever wants to pretend to be a human, or have an excuse on how to fight like a humanoid from Hector. Fuckin, the first hint was in the name. It literally means "Little Dragon" in french.
b.s. Pic is some random anime child I found off the internet.

>>5521972
I'm afraid it means "little god", you were aiming for "Petit Dragon" or "Petit Guivre"

>>5521987
fuck it's late, yeah I meant little god not little dragon. The translation was too obvious to use dragon. Anyways I hope White learns to shapeshift into at least 1 form.

In the hopes to make the DC lower, we should communicate with our new gaggle of allies and ask them about the soldiers, smiths, and priests they know: who they are certain are unsatisfied with the corrupt government. If not those people, then people close to them that are dissatisfied, then they would influence the people of interest through either familial relations, peer pressure, or just fucking smacking the back of their heads for not seeing the demon possessed dwarves.

today my players faced several invisible Quasits using Spellscrolls. From Rays of Frost and Fairy Fire to Fireball there was a gauntlet while a Phoenix Pyromancer charged a Fire Tornado to incinerate everything around himself and on the same Level as he.

They actually managed to talk him down and get some more information on their BBEG while securing several Spellscrolls. Sadly they later enraged the Tavernkeeper who also turned out to be a Deathless monstrosity though they drove her off. Then they plundered the bar, despoiled her room and stole her diary before leaving as quickly as they could. so yeah. all in all a succesful session with around six encounters both phyiscal and social.... and the night after leaving the Rest stop there will be a nice surprise by a very pissed of Alchemist that they stole several expensive things from not too long ago

You have a hearty meal, that Maxu says it is whipe Vine bread, with a plump helmet stew adorned with various Caverneous game, concluding the meal with some sweet Pods oat biscuits, with Sunberries soup. You can't help but think that Hector would have enjoyed that meal. But you don't have enough mental energy to allocate to that dork right now, the last week's communication were laconic messages to keep you updated about the developments and whereabouts. Somehow, Claire, Pauline, Hyetta, Evette and Renée got kidnapped by Ogres, too many for the squads to directly deal with, and Guillot-initiated cross-dressing fake capture based antics happened. They were succesful, but Hector feels deep shame about the whole endeavor and everybody promised to never talk about it, except around each other and a bit inebriated because Guillot's resulting raunchy song is a knee-slapper.

After a good night of sleep Exhaustion removed, you're ready to face a new day. Getting carried to the Ranger's hall, something's wrong. The hall is full, for starters.

You can only gaze nervously from the pocket you're tucked in. The good thing, except the thundersmith, all of your allied inside are present.
Bad news, the Thane, his squad, and what appear to be the brother, or maybe cousin, of Father's bane, is also present amid ranks of guards and sharpshooter - guards including your allies Maxu, Kili, Fili and Bili, looking uncomfortable.
"Fear not, loyal souls. For I, Thane Kisdrumm, won't hold you back from your dutiful work for long...
- The wyrm is indeed among them, Thane.
- Our long-dreaded foe, the treacherous dragon kin, is among us. It's lesser known to avoid panics, but the wyrms can shapeshift. It could be anyone of us. It could be you!", the Thane point at one of the neighbour of your carrier, that steps back, as punched
"Or you! or you. Have you seen anyone behave strangely amidst you, dwarves? Someone missing for extended duration? You can either denounce your suspicion outright, that we can confirm, or we'll comb everyone. And the longer we retain you, the longer you are delayed to work. You won't have deduction from your daily production taxes for the time spent here, so act wisely.

This is only half of the question.

Dwarfs of both sexes have beards. There is a 50/50 gender ratio, but female and male are indistinguishable once clothed.
Dwarfs prefer not to spend much time on the subject; the dwarfish language has a gender neutral pronoun, usually rendered as "he" when speaking human languages. Dwarfish courtship is an incredibly tactful affair, primarily concerned with finding out which gender the other dwarf is. Despite the awkwardness that comes of this, it is traditionally considered rude to discuss female dwarfs in conversation.

So, no clues on what kind of "private bits" any of the dwarves you have home.

>>5524648
woah those numbers are quite skewed and not in our favour.

So anybody got any ideas?

>>5524661
my idea was to force the demon or its taint out of the Thane and reavealing it for everyone.

Then try something similar to what we already told the other dwarfs and make a case that we did not start the conflict only defended ourselves after being attacked unprovoked.

Looks like getting out and try to convince the guard of the Thane corruption is your best bet.

And regarding the current ruleset, that is a critical success.
Don't worry, I'm only waiting for an opportunity to patch this
The extended ruleset I had in mind would had turned that into a "bareline success", mechanical success with a bit of flavor on how close to the edge it was and maybe reduced effects for later rolls

You jump out of you necklace, dwarves around you side stepping in surprise.

Light shrouds the Thane, until the familiar oily tendrils materialize in his back, shrouding him. The inky substance seems to be made of pile of coins. You have their attention, but hear some whispers.

>>5524731
I could have said more, but we don't have time, so I I went for what I thought would be the most impactful.
Slayers take the oath because of a tragedy. So maybe calling out the thanes actions they can ask themselves who is lying to who. Or atleast buy us a few seconds
Maybe say that if they stay in that path, they will bring doom to their own people, not their enemies?

>>5524728
support
Dawi are stubborn, not stupid. The fact that the thane asked them to do such dishonorable things is most likely weighing heavily on their minds and shaming the ancestors is a big no no to the dawi. Maybe bring up the fact we are still technically a child and asking why on earth we would attempt to fight all of Karaz Ankor and well, attempting to convince them all the thane is corrupt in the first place.

>>5524718
>"Does the oily shadows, your Thane ordering the killing of traders, and strangely greedy change in nature not concern you? My goal is to purify your nobility of corruption, not kill them, and I need you help. Guards! Subdue your Thane so I may exercise the demon from his soul!"
If we ask them to hold him down rather than let them be cool with us trying to kill them, that would probably make for an easier selling point.

No. I think scam has backfire everytime we tried using it with dwarves.

>>5524933
fair, but just in case we fail flashbang and communicate how do we combat the slayer?

>>5524937
Just searched on how to fight against someone using a chain weapon.
You got to dodge the attacks, bait one where he fully extends it, and them immediately pounces and hold down the arm and either break it or force them to drop the weapon.
Under no circunstancies try to hold the chain itself, there is a ways where the attacker can use that to wrap the chain around your arm and imobilize you instead.
Hardest part is that this is not a one-on-one, so the other two dwaves will probably try to cover any openings he makes.
Thanks hema, weebs and self defense autists, you have helped a anon on a mongolian basket weaving forum create a strategy for a child dragon to fight an angry manlet.

>>5524941
bring up a guide on how to deal with multiple aggressors

>>5524941
Also, the flashbang would be useful for a fight as well, since it would make both him and the other dwarves flinch if it succeeds, meaning we can move in to break his arm without waiting for him to overcomit and without the danger of one of others stopping a counterattack

>>5524943
I found some tips, other than the biggest one of just run away or defuse the situation.
Stay on the move, make sure to not let yourself be surrounded, try to position in a way that they block eachother, always retreat after attacking, make sure that each attack is impactful.
So basically, either avoid getting dragged in the middle of them all, do hit-and runs and try to make it multiple one-on-ones, or be on the defensive and punish mistakes until they give up.

>>5524959
so basically we gotta take out the two guards first and then round it up with the slayer?

>>5524997
Either that or try to take down the slayer first without the other two helping him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa-0tbmnUhs

Nice, that's two crits for arcana so far, only two more rolls to go.

>>5527159
17 are not crits

>>5527162
I thought it was because of our high arcana abilities.
Or is that only for healing? Is it even for healing? I always forget the crit range.

You decide to fly up. There isn't much room in the hall, but nearby dwarves are acquired to your cause. And that would put you out of reach of the regular dwarves hammer and axes, letting you focus on the slayer.
>14 vs 15,16 : Two failures
Not enough. The dreaded thing, train to fight dragon, is in a perfect environment. His chains whirls, slithers, coil around you. You feel the barbs of the chain itself tearing you before the axe bite your posterior paw.
>White suffered two wounds
No, the fight is optional. Do not hurt dwarves, despite getting hurt. What matter is sending a message - and cleansing the Thane. You can do it.
>Critical
The hold of the greed demon is less than the one on the king. Maybe lesser dwarf get less attention? A snaping sound resonates in the hall, and the shadowy figure is leaking dark ichor.
You never hurted the one holding the king. Is there a chance?

>81 about your allies

"Everyone, duck to avoid the slayer's chain!"
The ranger that carried you in his pocket yells, above all confusion. That is good for you - less risk for the dwarves, more room to manoeuver.
"Guards! with me! Hold the corrupt king!"
Maxu yells, while taking action. Quick, the king is subdued. The ones that followed the doomseeker seem confused.

Can we ask our sister to come out and delay the dwarf so we can self heal?

>>5527349
Or maybe use her magic missiles to target the slayer's weapons and knock them out of his hands?

>>5527393
We probably can next round. We skipped healing for this one in favor of offense.

>>5527395
we got an 18 and a 16 for arcana so I think we got that roll, is an 18 a crit?
either way a crit for CQC means that we are pretty much safe since he did not crit

"Rolling for Arcana".

That’s what we’re left with it seems. 1 crit and 1 sucess for arcana, 1 crit for C!Q!C! We’re alright for this round, at least.

>>5527441
yeah I think this may be enough to resolve this, at this point the dwarves watching us literally purify their obviously now known to be corrupted thane, watching half the room join white while also him not harming the slayer is probably enough proof that we may be the good guy here.

You got this. Only a bit more...
You keep your focus while the chains of doom whirl around you. The mastery of the slayer is undeniable.
The blade is propelled toward your face. You know this one. It hit you a couple second ago. The attack can change angle abruptly, you have to dodge it twice.
>CQC : 20 (critical) vs 20 (non-critical)
You remove your head out of the way of the attack. When the axe comes back for your flank, you are ready to duck.
Keeping your energy invested in the cleanse spell, you keep an eye on the axe, that comes for a third cleave. THIRD? you spin, avoiding the strike. You keep the mana pouring in your spell, until the last drop.
>18 Arcana : critical
The Thane trashes around. More ichor fell on the ground. Drop by drop, faster and faster, turning into a constant stream. Your light tear the demon, ripping him off.
You feel a disturbance. As if reality fickles for a couple second. A distraught Thane is hold by Maxu and other guards, his eyes showing relief, then horror, in a couple seconds. The only remaining proof of existence of the demon to begin with is the oily puddle, with deep purple and bottle green hues.
[b]"Release me boys, release me. You, slayer, cease this folly. You've seen that wyrm? He helped. Never hurt one of the boys. You, guards, don't stay idle, he'll kill the winged lizard!"[b]
Upon order of their rightfull Thane, the dwarf move as one mind toward the doomseeker, catching his limbs, and carefully immobilizing the chain-axe.
Victory. At the minor cost of your mana, and a little wound.
You are intrigued by the puddle. The demonic presence is still present but quite minor, leaving the echo of magic. Volatile, dissipating magic.
>Leave the puddle alone. Let it dissipate.
>Cleanse the puddle, at the cost of more of your health

I like how White was treating the slayer like a video game boss

>>5527472
>Cleanse the puddle, at the cost of more of your health
The hold is on our side now, hopefully we can make amends with the slayer he may useful to saving Karaz Ankor in the future.

Also I assume the situation played out something similar to this

>Cleanse the puddle, at the cost of more of your health

We defeated the Puzzle Boss. But release Purple first so she is not stuck in the necklace in case we pass out. and warn the Thane what you are about to do.

>>5527472
>Cleanse the puddle, at the cost of more of your health
What else could I vote for? I’m solidly in the “burn the chaos” camp after all.

Besides, we’re in a safe zone now. The thane will have us guarded for sure until we leave.

>>5527481

>>5527483
stage cleared, wonder what rewards we are gonna get?

>>5527472
>>5527481
Oh, I’ll back
>Ask the Thane if we can let our sister out, let her know we won the fight and pull her out if they agree.

>>5527478
Maybe his family member was also tricked by the king or another thane. In which case the Collector would be responsible for Dad's death.
Given how he was a gold dragon, and part of the council of the good dragon, it would make sense the dark gods arranged the assassination.

>>5527481
>>5527487
I'll support letting Purple out and tell her the thane is clear, and we got to finish the puddle.
I have a feeling we could use the goop to fuel the infernal dwarf engine, but I don't want to mess with that thing

>>5527489
Tbh I am sure we can now find out who killed dad by just asking 'has any slayers recently killed a gold dragon?' then we can figure out the location and we got our guy but that is unimportant now, saving the Dawi is our goal and I kind of want to see a couple hundred slayers on our side. Also I think every thane and king is corrupted so uh.
How do we go around curing every thane and king exactly? Also don't the dwarves have a priest or religious class? Can we make an army of priests to purify everything in our presence?

A 12 ain’t that bad, besides we are right beside an actual army of dwarves plus a slayer and since we did not crit fail or normal fail we good.

The thane is rumbling.
"[b]The only honorable way out is taking the oath myself. Sorry, my dear clanmates. I utterly failed you.[/b]"
Whatever. Your attention is completely driven to the pool of magic sludge. Your common sense is tingling. "Do not touch that." "That's chaos tainted."
A bunch of nonsense. After Hector's suggestion of using demonic part as natural magical reagent for crafting nice things, you explored a bit the realms of possible.
Sure, there are a couple realities where it horribly backfires and the demon corrupt the holder. But most of the time, the power is properly channeled, the corruption is sealed, a way to actually kill the demon and pass it to the Mother's embrace definitely.
>Name trait backlash : prone to high-risk high-reward plays
You're definitely doing that.
>"You, slayer, give your axe". Best case, show of goodwill to trade against informations. Worst case? The problems fight themself. Flawless plan, really.

Make sure the goop stays far away from the daemon engine White, if that thing turns on in the necklace who knows what will happen.

Still have many others to deal with, perhaps we can figure out a plan on how to deal with him?
Also can we keep the thane turned slayer as a pet? I think having him as an attack dog would be good.
