Anna appears outside the village, right in the center of it. Anna is stunned to see how different is the world around her: There's no dusty, sandy desert or extremely dry badlands around her. Instead, there are green woods, fields of non-mutated wheat, and buildings which aren't made from an ugly mix of rusty metal, wires, and old, crumbling concrete. The only thing similar to her world is that the people have a rather poor hygiene. Being overwhelmed by how healthy-looking is the world she's in right now, Anna decides to ask locals where she can buy and drink brahmin milk, so that her mind calms down a little.

You stir from your meditations and head toward the local castle. Most of the peasants give you a wide berth thanks to your intimidating draconic appearance, while a few who are familiar with your myth pick up leaves and sticks you stepped on in hopes of getting a good luck charm. Perhaps they sapped a bit of your luck, because you are interrupted on your journey down the road. Three brigands step out from behind trees with bows drawn. "Halt, oh 'mighty' dragon! Give up thy treasure, or be slain where you stand!"

You walk into the village. It reminds you a bit of Goodsprings. However, the locals seem untrusting of outsiders. Some mock your unusual clothes, while the more polite ones admit they don't know what a "brahmin" is.

You wiggle around on a table outside what passes for a pub here. Your former owner looks on in confusion. He doesn't try to stop you, figuring he's already had enough to drink. You manage to fall off and land safely on your side. At least now you're ready to roll out.

You walk out into the day, making sure to keep your head properly bowed. Nobody knows whether this gesture is intended to protect you from the Sun's cleansing light or just to keep that properly mysterious shadowing. Maybe both? Anyway, you spot an unattended horse just sitting out in the open outside the church. You hop on and ride off past the wheat fields toward the nearest village. As you leave, a knight bursts out of the church doors. He sees you absconding with his horse and shakes his mailed fist in the air. Hopefully nothing will ever come of that.

You're the great Goatsby. Your name is completely non-indicative and isn't a hint toward you being something other than a human. Especially not a goat. Checking the village supplies, you notice there isn't any milk. Grumbling in annoyance, you incant an eldritch spell of perpetual replenishment. Perhaps you did not use quite the correct spell. A little geyser of milk begins to spurt from the center of the village grounds. However, the ground begins to warp and twist underneath it. A bird lands to drink from it, and the milk replenishes itself by promptly melting the bird into more milk. This could quickly become a bit more milk than you intended.

You enter a quaint village to buy milk. The watchman informs you that they don't actually have any available at the moment. It appears that a thief took the entire supply last night. He's as surprised as you, honestly.

He gained the power of an angel and a demon, and he chose to use them to help.

As all this is said and done, a mysterious stranger wanders into town. Adam Simons gestures and a magic sword appears in his hand. It is divided down the middle between reddish black and white-gold halves.

Anna notices that the milk geyser has erupted; and not only that, but the geyser turns everything into more milk. Once she snaps out of outburst of shock and confusion, she points at the geyser and screams, "An unusual type of geyser has erupted, and it seems to turn everything it touches into milk, stay away from it!" After warning the citizens, she decided to rephrase herself, since there were no brahmins pre-War.

Turn 2

Drink the milk. ALL OF IT.

2

You try and drink up the growing puddle of milk, but some deeply ingrained survival instinct forbids you from touching it. It's probably for the best.

Anna notices that the milk geyser has erupted; and not only that, but the geyser turns everything into more milk. Once she snaps out of outburst of shock and confusion, she points at the geyser and screams, "An unusual type of geyser has erupted, and it seems to turn everything it touches into milk, stay away from it!" After warning the citizens, she decided to rephrase herself, since there were no brahmins pre-War.

Ask where I can buy cow milk.
Go and buy a jug of cow milk for myself. Hopefully they at very least accept dollars (aka pre-War money) as currency.


6

The villagers heed your warning and keep well back of the puddle. Asking around about where you can get milk, you happen upon the hut of an odd looking elderly woman in a black dress who volunteers advice. Her skin has a slightly sickly green hue to it, like someone in dire need of RadAway. She cackles and introduces herself. "I am known to some as...Margaret! I hear you would like...milk! There is a place where this can be found, yes!" She points at a darker patch of the woods by a nearby river. "In that swamp, there sits a little town. In the little town is a littler shop, yes. In the littler house there is the littlest shopkeep! She sells anything you may need and accepts any currency you may have as payment, yes! Ehehee!"

With that, she turns and darts cackling into her hut.

-_-
Demolish these brigands.

3 vs 1

The brigands draw their bows and attempt to open fire. Luckily for you, their bowstrings all simultaneously break. Drawing your warhammer, you smash one of the brigands over the trees and into the distance. Seeing this befall their companion, the other two make a tactical retreat into the woods.

continue riding the horse to arrive to the nearest village.

3

You ride for a while and reach a new village. However, just before you enter a brigand falls from the sky and impacts into the ground. His crater showers you with a large amount of mud and dirt.

Roll, roll, roll. Roll towards the direction of the true milk.

2

You try to roll out of the village, but a wandering rat notices you. Playfully, it runs over and sits inside you. The added weight makes it difficult to roll away.

"WELL SHIT. MILK IS MILK, I GUESS. EVEN IF IT IS LIKELY TO KILL ME IF I TRY TO COLLECT IT."

Attempt to give shape to some of the fountain milk, creating "milk snakes" and binding them to my control.

4 to create snakes,5 to get control.

You use your powers to spawn snakes from the dangerous milk. A pair of bubbles rise from the milk and burst into Entropy Milk Serpents. They look like semi-liquid milk snakes the size of a horse. Armored scales run along their backs and their heads bear goat horns. They bow before you as best snakes can.

Name: Harold Johnson
Description: He's the local priest.
Why do you want milk? To destroy it because it's an abomination.

Go forth and find milk to destroy.

2 vs 5

In all your days as a priest, nobody in the clergy ever took your belief that milk would herald the apocalypse seriously. You always kept on guard against the refreshing menace despite their quiet mockery. As you step outside the church for a moment, you realize that the terrible day of your prophecies is finally at hand! A pool of milk is growing in the town center even as large devil-serpents rise from its depths. Rushing forward, you bash the milk with a mace. Unfortunately, it devours your mace as soon as you hit it. You're forced to drop the weapon before the milk reaches your arm.

Why do you want milk?: He just knows that he needs it for something, he doesn't know why, he just knows
Go forth, lookin for thy cow fluids

3

You head out in search of some cow fluids. There's no milk in the village, besides the corrosive pool that just spawned snakes after the foreign lady said everyone should stay away from it. Also, a priest is hitting it so it's probably unholy. You go looking outside the village for some milk. On your walk, you encounter an overturned merchant's wagon. Inside are dozens of sealed buckets.

They are all filled with cow's blood.

I suppose I'll go look for the holy grail then.
Ok, the holy grail is officially a mug of the most amazing milk ever kept at the exact perfect temperature, ok EP?
Yeah sure, why not.

2

You decide to head out and look for the Holy Grail. Famous to all Christendom, this cup is the very device used at the Last Supper. Also it is full of the most amazing milk ever kept at the exact perfect temperature for unrelated reasons. Hell wants you to keep the Grail for yourself and corrupt it with selfishness, while Heaven wishes you to share its gifts with the world. Being part mortal, what you will actually do is entirely up to you. However, before you can do anything at all you'll need clues to its location. Perhaps you should seek companions or advice for your quest.

Anna tries to open the world map on her Pipboy, but it malfunctions and displays nothing but orange filter. Sighing, she leaves the village and heads to the small swamp town. During her trip, she thinks about how weird that old woman is, "Why did she constantly cackle during the talk? Perhaps she's not entirely there. At least she told me where I can find milk." In the middle of her trip, she tried to tune on some radio, only to discover that there's no radio signals at all. Disappointed with the lack of radio, she keeps walking towards the swamp town.

Arrive at the swamp town and search for the littlest shopkeeper. If the town looks sinister enough, try approaching carefully by looking for traps.
If this is not a trap, buy a jug of milk.

5

You open up the pub and start your day! You begin persuading a passing party of generic adventurers to go and clear spiders from the old castle. The cleric among their number asks you what proof you have that you're telling the truth. At that moment, the dragon god of luck bursts in through the doors in search of work. The adventurers take this as an omen of good fortune and head out. Another group decides instead to work with the dragon god and Adam Simons.

Also, your new beer prices bring you a good profit. (+1 to checks involving money).

Y'know what, just go find a local adventurer's guild and hire myself out or something.

6

There's no real "guild" nearby, so you take the next best thing. A classic pub full of raucous crowds, shadowed corners, and reasonably priced beer. You burst in through the door. Another group of adventurers sees you enter and promptly steals the easiest quest. However, a human with an unusual sword offers you a job looking for the Holy Grail.

Hire Aaron and some other adventurers.

4

You check the pub in search of adventurers looking for work. Always a good place to find those. You manage to hire a group of generic adventurers to aid you on your search for the grail. They consist of a Female Human Fighter, a Female Human Priest, a Male Human Rogue, and a Male Human Bard. You also recruit Aaron Blaze, draconic god of luck.

Continue rolling until the rat is nauseated then trap it inside me and starve/asphyxiate it.

Also, be the Holy Grail.


1 vs 6 to kill rat, 1 to be the Holy Grail.

You are the Holy Grail. Or rather, you were before you fell on hard times. Your supply of perfect milk was recently stolen by the Unholy Pail, which is said to be the very bucket from which Satan once drank evil milk. You try rolling around to trap the rat, but it quickly notices your attempt and crawls out of the way. It gets out and pins you to the ground, squeaking in triumph!

Anna tries to open the world map on her Pipboy, but it malfunctions and displays nothing but orange filter. Sighing, she leaves the village and heads to the small swamp town. During her trip, she thinks about how weird that old woman is, "Why did she constantly cackle during the talk? Perhaps she's not entirely there. At least she told me where I can find milk." In the middle of her trip, she tried to tune on some radio, only to discover that there's no radio signals at all. Disappointed with the lack of radio, she keeps walking towards the swamp town.

Arrive at the swamp town and search for the littlest shopkeeper. If the town looks sinister enough, try approaching carefully by looking for traps.
If this is not a trap, buy a jug of milk.


3 to approach,4 to find traps.

You make your way through the swamps and approach the town. As could be expected, it is rather ominous. Spider webs cover the ramshackle huts and nobody can be seen in the streets. Being a seasoned Wastelander, you suspect a trap. Crouching and stalking through the bushes, you find a short green humanoid creature with pointed ears and a wide grin. It's hiding in the bushes, obviously waiting to spring an ambush. It carries a wand in its hand and hasn't seen you yet.


Push someone in the milk. Players are valid targets.
Rolling a d6 to determine target. 1 is Harold, 2 is Goatsby, 3&4 are the snakes, 5&6 are villagers.
2. 4 vs 4 to push him in.
In retrospect, I should have removed the villagers since CABL told them to stay away. I'll leave as it is though since it wasn't them.

Being a cat, you enjoy causing hilarious disaster and adorable suffering. Several people are currently close to the dangerous pool. At random, you decide to trip Goatsby. You hop up on his leg and meow loudly. He doesn't trip into the milk, but instead falls forward and kicks you aside.

"YES, THIS IS FINE. THIS WILL WORK."

Goatsby, rather proud of his work, gestures for the twin Serpents to follow him as he looks for a safer source of milk.

2 to find milk, snakes don't need a roll.

The snakes file into formation behind you turn to walk away. You aren't able to think of a source of milk at the moment. This is likely because of the cat that just tripped you.

Run back to the church and fill a bucket with Holy Water, then go back to the milk and pour the Holy Water on it, to cleanse it in the name of our lord.

1

You make it to the church, only to find that someone forgot to prepare any holy water! You'll need to come up with a different plan.

check the brigand for blood, I never learned to check for pulse but I know that "lots of blood out of the body"="bad for your health"

1

You inspect the fallen brigand. You're no doctor, but he seems pretty dead. A good deal of his blood is on the outside, and his bones are all broken. A passing farmer looks down into the crater at you inspecting the body. He seems confused. "Did he, er, trouble you, sir?"

ASK SHOPKEEPER WATCHMAN WHERE THEY THE SHOPS USUALLY SOURCE THEIR MILK.
ALSO LOOK OUT OF DOORWAY AND WATCH ANY ACTIVITY IN TOWN

...OH, AND PONDER WHETHER MY SPOOKY LAIR COUNTS AS AN ABANDONED CASTLE OR A MANOR.


REALISED I HAD FORGOTTEN TO CAPITALISE EVERYTHING. SORRY. I AM ASHAMED.

EDIT: ALSO OOPS FORGOT WHO I TALKING TO




2,2

The watchman seems paranoid about your question. "Listen, I don't know why, but somebody just stole all our milk. I'm not about to tell any strangers how we're gettin' more! How about you just go about your own business then?"

He doesn't seem very helpful, so you go over to the door and ponder your secret lair. It's sort of an ambiguous manor/castle situation. There's a ruined wall, and the manor's upper levels are partially collapsed. It could be fortified or improved if you needed to, but mostly the basement dungeon is the inhabitable area that you use.

From the door, you can see the spreading Entropy Milk with a fleeing priest and a wizard tripping over a cat with two serpents behind him. You also see various adventurers leaving the pub for Lord Saxon's castle and a ceramic mug battling a rat. The rat is winning.

Once Anna spotted the unsuspecting creature, which looks like a sort of Spore Carrier with a weird, alien shape of ears. She assumed that it is actually one of the very first victims of the FEV tests, who escaped the labs... which is really confusing, considering the settlements she has seen so far don't even look like pre-War America! She stopped trying to guess the origin of the creature and uses the moment to pull out her silenced sniper rifle... (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Christine%27s_CoS_silencer_rifle)

Pop the creature's head with my sniper rifle. Stealthy style!
Once the FEV victim is dead, look for the other ambushers while looking into the sniper sight. Don't shoot them, yet. Nah, kill all the FEV victims I'll spot.

1+1 for ambush vs 1

The creature glances over its shoulder just as your scope settles on its head. It wheels about at the last second and you shoot it through the shoulder. The wand falls from its hand as the creature tries to scramble back.

"Yes his fall dirtied my cloak. Would you tell me where I can acquire milk?"

1

The farmer scratches his chin for a moment before answering. "You know, I heard that there's a good supply in the old castle by Moorsburg. Is that helpful? I'm not sure if we still have any, there was apparently a milk thief recently."


Try to convince other players to head on up, and quickly pop out to the shops to buy some milk.
(I can't really let you just roll to control other player's characters like that.)
4 for going to the shops.

You put up a flier advertising the "spider quest" and head out to the nearest village. The trip is quick and uneventful, and you find a stall with a dairy farmer offering his last milk for the day.


Go find a dairy to buy milk from.

4

Since Moorsburg doesn't have any milk, you head over to the nearest village to buy some more. Arriving at the same time as Cormac, you also find the merchant with the last milk of the day.

So, Random kind of made my quest futile. Not matter, in this game, we'll just end up summoning a new holy grail eventually, or going on a quest to steal the milk back from the unholy pail. Though if ATHATH makes a "holy grail" I'm shooting it.

You try to leave the pub, but as you exit, Adam accidentally bumps the leader of an all barbarian adventuring party with eight members. "HEY! YOU NO TOUCH GROGNAR THE MIGHTY! I SHOULD SMASH YOU, PUNY WEAKLING!" Adam considers what to do about this, but then GROGNAR spots a slight smirk on Aaron's face. He howls and throws a punch at him, which Aaron casually sidesteps.

I didn't mean to, whooops. I thought it would be funny for the Holy Grail to be a mug because it's Minimalism and Milk. It would kind of make sense in-universe.

Roll over rat and crush it with my newly found holy strenght. It's clearly some sort of demonic rat, so I might gain a bonus against it if I use myself as a weapon.

5 to get bonus, 5+2 for holy -1 for rat's prior advantage vs 3

The rat continues to squeak and sit on you as you draw up your reserves of holy strength. The rat then lets its guard down for a moment. It chose...poorly. You launch into the air, striking the rat in the face and rolling it back about a foot. It looks about in confusion and begins to dart away into the bushes. You also become aware of a commotion starting in the nearby pub.

6

Awareness. There is light. It is time to feed your young. You clamber out into the forest on six legs and search scent trails in search of meat to kill and return. After some searching, you carefully look under a bridge to find a large, hairy humanoid with claws and a bone club. 1 for troll to spot you. It hasn't noticed you, and in fact appears to be about to take a nap.

Quickly fill a bucket with water and bless it and make it in to holy water, then run to the milk and pour it in and cleanse it.

5, 3+1 for great holy water.

You produce a bucket of holy water with the flourish of any great stage magician and the purity of a saint. It's really something to see. After that, you rush outside and dump the holy water into the Entropy Milk. It tries to devour the holy water, but the righteous light of the water will not abide that. The milk sizzles as its own nature is reversed and devours itself out of existence. All that remains of it is a crack in the ground and the two serpents who already left.

SCOWL.

Post by: Imic on April 20, 2018, 04:41:55 pm
Once, there was the kingdom of Toneledun, an ancient realm situated in the lands of Tir rua. It was a peaceful land, far from the kingdoms of the north, where war was (and still is) a constant part of life. However, one day, the good(ish) King Cormac II died, and his son Colm I took the throne. Colm was a wee bit mad though, and he soon developed an addiction for Milk. One day, all the milk supplies were choked up in the eastern mountains, and he didn't get his ice cold milk on time. He wept for three days and three nights, before tasking an adventurer by the name of Narfir to go and find an infinite source of Milk so he would never have to face such a catastrophe again. Narfir, however, was from the northernmost of the northern realms, and despite many saying that the king was mad and the quest hopeless, he went off anyway, to forge himself his own saga of adventure.
He passed first through the ancient fields of Tir Eamonn, the bread basket of the realm before coming to the forests of Garnir in the far east. He climbed the mountains for ten days and ten nights, until he came to a silver valley, and At it's centre was a great tree, A towering oak, unlike anything he had ever seen. At it's roots, he saw a cave. It see,ed dark and deep, but he entered it all the same. However, once in, he saw that the cave was large and bright, and at the centre was a well. Above him were the roots of the tree, and around him were the dirt walls, and all glowed pale silver in the white glow of the liquid in the pool. He went to drink, before he saw a man walk out from a shodow. He was old and frail, but tall, strong, and proud. He had a long beard, that was also short, and he seemed to have eyes that pierced one's soul, but that twinkled with kindness at the same time. He spoke:

You may seek the milk of the earth, blood of the god of life, but before you do, you must pay the price. I see your mind, and I see that you deserve to drink from this, but your price must stay the same. You must cut off your left hand, and bleed into the pool.
Narfir said nothing, but went straight for his hunting-knife, and cut off his hand, dropping it onto the ground, and bleeding fron his stump into the pool. He stooped down, and took a long, slow drink from the deep liquid, and when he was done, he looked up out the mouth of the tunnel and started at the night sky.
He could see every star, every world in the universe. he could see the very building blocks of life. His mind seemed clear, clearer than it ever did. He could see the workings of the world, how everything truly was. His eyes burned white with the fire of ten thousand stars shining at a single point, but slowly, the power settled, and his eyes returned back to their deep blue, but now, they seemed to glow bright, with the fire of the blood of the world. The man reached down, and took up Farnir's severed hand. Holding it with one hand, he seemed to cover it over, and all the skin and flesh desintegrated, leaving a heap of bones. With near superhuman speed, he took a set of tools, and he worked at the hand. Within a minute, he revealed his work: what had one been a skeletal hand was now a goblet, carved with tiny introcate details, with no sign to show how the parts fitted together. He gave it to Narfir, and said:

You have paid, and now here is a gift of mine. No other mortal has drunk from this well in one hundred years, and in that time, evil has grown in distant lands. There is now an unholy pail held by corrupted souls far from here. I know not of how it came to be, or even how old it is, but I now give to you it's opposite: pure white, fashioned from the bones of a hero: The holy goblet. If ever you should seek to be rid of thirst, drink from this, and the coolest, sweetest milk shall pour down your throat. Take it, and make it an heirloom of your house, and keep it for the day when all milk has truly gone forever.
Fafnir took the goblet, and left, giving thanks to the old man. However, instead of make it an heirloom of his house, he did as he was sent out to do, and came back to the king with the cup. The king declared him a knight of the realm, with his own coat of arms and stuff. However, Narfir was never seen again after the day of his knighting. He left, and was not seen in his northern homeland, or anywhere across the kingdom, to this very day. However, Some say that with his eyes that see the world as it truly is, he now seeks the Unholy Pail, trying to discover the mysteries of it's making, that an old man hinted to him of so very long ago.

It should be noted that The kings of Toneledun kept the goblet, and some say it does more than give milk, some say that Farnir left out something in the tale, as the line of kings has remained unbroken to this day, and many of the royal have had almost superhuman luck, and they are often seen drinking from it before making wise decisions. We may never know all the answers to all the questions, but some now here may have some nore light to shed upon the tale...

I left it open. I said nothing about the unholy pail, except it exists, it's being guarded, and that there's a one handed viking (who can see basically everything in his line of sight)'going after it. I like big viking-esque sagas and histories of kingdoms and such, the demonic lore of the underworld of milk is your beef.
Also some kingdom has the holy grail of milk made form the viking's left hand.

Remember when the plan was for Imic's time machine to have taken him back to medival times, and that was how he would get here? Imic, is your current character just your last guy lying low, because if he is, that is cool,and it works.

Also, Adam looks like Nephilim, the combined form of Angelo and Diablo, with the same face and the weird hetero-chromatic eyes, but not the wings, horns or halo. Basically, he looks like a human version of Nephilim.

Turn 5

Roll into the pub, loudly declare that the barbarians are evil and use my holy strenght to make them trip into the ground.
(Rolled a die to determine initiative order.)
4 vs 1(Barbarians)
3 vs 4(GROGNAR)

As the bar fight is about to break out, the Grail Mug rolls through the open front door. In an echo of a holy voice, it decries the barbarians and unleashes a holy blast of light. The majority of the barbarians are lifted off the floor and brutally smashed down again. GROGNAR is forced to one knee.

Angelic half says punish Grognar
Demonic half says kill Grognar
Dragon god behind me says to screw with Grognar
I wonder what I'll do

With a flick of my wrist and a puff of smoke, Grognar is tied to a spinning wheel. Multiple knives float in the air before me pointed at the wheel, ready to fly at it with a flick of my wrist. (It's the spinning wheel knife throwing act you see at magic shows and circuses.)

"That was a mistake on your part Thog."

2 vs 6-1
Before I begin, I just want to say that you made me do this.

Aaron steps aside and you begin to cast your spell. Suddenly, GROGNAR lunges forward and crushes your wrist in his grip before you can complete the incantation. (-1 on casting magic until healed.) Rising off the ground, he shouts "GROGNAR NOT FEAR PUNY MAGIC. GROGNAR MIGHTY!!!". GROGNAR then punches you hard in the gut. You are launched back, smashing through the back wall of the pub and landing in an empty hut. Perhaps thanks to the Mug's blast, you have enough time to combat roll out of the hut just before the barbarian leaps out and smashes the hut to splinters. "MIGHTY!!!" (GROGNAR gains +1 to combat checks for unceasing rage.)


Run back to the church and duck in between buildings if the milk demons get to close.
1
"YOU LITTLE SHIT! THAT WAS MY BEST EXPERIMENT YET!

Goatsby BLEATS yells in anger and sics the Entropy Serpents on Harold, simultaneously providing support to them via a wave of precisely aimed magic missiles.

5 vs 6-1 for Goatsby vs Harold.
4 vs 3-1 for Serpents vs Harold.

Harold tries to run, but trips over an inconvenient rat, lands in a fish cart, and rolls across town. The out of control cart's movements and trailing fish deflect the magic missiles, but the snakes rush forward and constrict around the cart. Harold is trapped inside by their coils, but not yet being crushed.

Anna goes for another shot, but this time she'll use VATS assistance for a better accuracy...

Activate VATS assistance (get a bonus to attack, if I'm successful).
Kill the mutant via headshot, then look for the other hiding mutants to shoot at.


5, 5+2vs5-1, 3

Boom. Or rather, the quiet clap of your silenced rifle backed by the sound of the creature's head bursting open and splattering across the plants and mud. You then creep forward and scan the village for more targets. You see and hear more "mutants" darting about in the shadows, but none sits still long enough to get a shot.

Purchase Milk and head back to the Pub.

2+1, 2

The merchant is reluctant to part with his supply, but your ability to pay extra wins him over. You leave the other village as the proud owner of the merchant's personal bottle of milk.

YOU WIN THE GAME!!!

Anyway, you get lost on the way home. What do you do next?

"The milk thief was in moorsburg Too but thank you anyway"

Go back to the horse and keep searching for milk.


5

You swing back onto your horse and ride into the horizon like some kind of Western hero from the distant future. Later on as you ride down the road, you see an old king riding on a donkey. He greets you warmly and introduces himself. He is King Bos. He hasn't long to live, you see, and has no heirs. His last wish is to find someone worthy to inherit his most treasured possession, the world's largest herd of dairy cows. He asks if you are willing to take his test.


creep closer to it while it's still dozing off, then charge forward and bite at it's neck with my mandibles after it either detects me or falls asleep. Killing it quickly means I can bring it back to the nest faster, and thus leave the larva contented while I search for milk.

3 to sneak, 6+1 vs 6

You stalk closer silently across the underside of the bridge. The troll is only alerted at the last second by slime dripping from your mandibles. It whirls around too late to stop you, but grabs your carapace before you can strike a fatal blow. Your jaws poke slightly into his throat.

SCOUT AROUND FOR AN UNATTENDED WAGON OR SIMILAR.

You look in a covered barn and find a steam-powered wagon sitting unattended in the darkness. You nick it.

Whelp, anyway, bodily throw Grognar out of this establishment. Make sure to grab him while he's distracted attacking something else, so as to turn his ragepower against him.

"You have underestimated me, Margaret. You haven't thought that the prey can outmaneuver the predator, right? Once I'm done with this place, you'd better have another card to pull from your sleeve, because I'm not going to act gentle towards you."

Lay down, so it'll be harder to spot me.

Shoot the mutants. All of them.


3 to prep. 6 vs 3-1.

You lay down, but your Pip-boy doesn't have enough uses of VATS to make a difference against the horde now emerging from the trees. You'll have to wing it. The creatures rush forward with daggers and bows, but the rifle's repeated blasts are clearly something they haven't seen before. After you empty out a couple magazines, what remains of the horde disperses into the swamp. You then hear Margaret cry out in fury from somewhere behind you. "Noooo!!! You killed my pets, yes! My CHILDREN, gone! You need to die now, messenger! HEHEHEE!" Margaret then emerges from under the swamp water. She's standing in the door of her hut, which crawls forward on twenty spider legs.

Make for high ground ti survey the surrounding area. There should be hills and mountains around my village.

1

You get even more lost. You find a bridge, but when you get closer to see if you can use it for a landmark you notice a troll battling a giant beetle underneath.


How dare you assume that insect-monsters are slimey!  I'll have you know we're quite clean!
Grab onto its body with my six legs and keep biting at it, tearing chunks of flesh free from the troll!
Whoops, sorry. Megaentomology was my worst class.
3 vs 4-1

You snatch and chomp at the prey, but it won't stop fighting back and you can't seem to bring it down. The creature punches you back, but the painful throat bite is distracting it. The blows glance harmlessly off your chitin.

Get out of the cart and run, if I can't get out try and stab the milk snake with my crucifix and hope its holy power gets rid of the snake.
6
"GOOD BOYS! KEEP THE FILTHY PRIEST IN THE CART WHILE 'TIL I'VE GOT HIM IN MY HANDS."

Attempt to force Harold out from the cart. Have my snakes attack him if he gets hostile.
2 vs 3-1

Harold struggles to get free of the wagon as Goatsby marches up and looks for an angle to grab him. Harold spots a weakening point in the side of the wagon and kicks it out. The priest rolls out followed by a heap of fish. The serpents remain preoccupied with crushing the cart as Harold hops to his feet to find himself standing right in front of Goatsby.

Find another place to buy milk.

3

You wander for a while in search of somebody who might have milk to sell. You eventually come across a peasant napping in a poorly constructed chair with a rumpled hat over his eyes and a massive, partially hairless dog lying in watch by his feet. In his hand is a milk bottle.

You hop in the driver's seat and look over the controls. A staggering array of buttons, cranks, and levers sprawl across the panels before you. You have to admit, you're not sure how it works. Your mad scientist nature urges you to just start it up anyway.

4, 5+1 vs 4

GROGNAR rises up from the wrecked hut and looks around. Adam charges with his magic sword. GROGNAR sidesteps the blow, roars, and rips Adam's arm off at the shoulder before pushing him over. GROGNAR lets the arm drop and charges back into the pub. Grail Mug tries whirling GROGNAR around in the air, but the lack of Holy Milk cripples its power. GROGNAR kicks the mug into a wall and leaves a noticeable crack in its side. GROGNAR then pounces at the adventurers. The party fights in a well-practiced flanking routine, leaving GROGNAR slightly weakened. GROGNAR finally manages to ward them off with sweeping punches. Then Aaron approaches. GROGNAR snorts at him. "GROGNAR TEAR PUNY ANGELDEVILMAN! BREAK PUNY CUP! WILL CRUSH PUNY ADVENTURERS! GROGNAR SMASH PUNY DRAGONMAN, GROGNAR MIGH-" GROGNAR is then cut off by Aaron's hand closing on his throat and chucking him back outside through the hole. GROGNAR looks up from the dust with an expression of both rage and confusion. "YOU...SHOULDN'T...THROW...GROGNAR."

Cool.

EDIT: Editing the actions and adding the new ones as well.

5 to escape, 6+2 vs 1 to ambush hut, 2 for Margaret's escape.

You vanish into the swamp in an instant, taking occasional potshots at the hut to let it know where to go. After a merry chase, the hut whirls and scrabbles into a clearing. You're standing out in the open with a grin and a rifle at the ready. Margaret snarls at the spider-hut to tear you open and save the heart. In compliance, the house mutant rushes forward. It's forelegs rise to finish you off, but where a mundane mutant might roar there is only the cacophony of frag mines beeping. A dozen thudding blasts shred the hut and send it sliding toward you as Margaret clings to the doorframe. A final incendiary grenade through the door ends it. The hut's wreckage comes to a halt as Margaret falls face forward into the mud. She gags and coughs on the smoke before looking up at you. "Perhaps...perhaps we should call it a draw, yes?"

Nod at the king and gallop towards the Lord Saxon's Castle. 

3

You make it to the castle after a quick ride. The castle itself is atop a large hill, and a gargoyle is perched ominously over the front gate. Somehow you suspect it isn't a mere statue.

use my superior grip to get on top of their head and back, then begin biting at their arms to render the troll less dangerous.

1 vs 4-1

You try to get atop the troll and cripple it, but it manages to get good leverage on you from there. It lifts you up and tosses you to the side. You clamber about for a moment and manage to get back on your feet as the troll waves its club.

I will find an empty milk bottle and as quitely and sneaky as possible trade out the bottles. If he awakes at anytime during this, I tell him there has been a recall on milk in this region because of mad cow disease.

3,4

You sneak up and swap out the bottles. When you do this, the mangy dog growls and wakes its master. He's initially furious, but buys your explanation about the mad cow disease and thanks you for removing the tainted milk. You have acquired a milk bottle.

YOU WIN THE GAME!!!

Casts Locate Object while focusing on a milk bottle, gaining knowledge of the location of the closest milk bottle.

4

You bring your prodigious arcane will to bear on finding the beverage you seek. Initially, you can't sense any bottles within 1040 feet of your location. You are once again confronted with an annoying mental reminder that you can't just cast Teleport to visit a larger town. However, you soon sense a bottle has entered the radius! It's currently about three feet off the ground in front of the local inn, 85 feet from your current location.

That reminds me that some species of spiders produce milk. I will create some anti-toxin in preparation for my quest for spiders.

2

You decide to go milk some spiders. You'll need to go after a giant spider if you want to get a reasonable amount of milk without a prohibitive amount of time and effort. You try mixing up some giant spider antivenom, but the resulting mixure curdles with a foul smoke. This potion will be of no use, aside from perhaps inducing nonmagical feelings of nausea.

BITE MY FIST TO STIFLE A MANIACAL CACKLE FROM ALL THE EXCITEMENT.
THEN BEGIN ATTEMPTING TO START IT UP. USE THE POWER OF SCIENCE... MAD SCIENCE.   

4

As you inspect the controls, you think to yourself "If I were dangerously obsessed with machines instead of reviving the dead, where would I put the activation button?" You push a promising looking button with this in mind. The machine hisses and snaps to life and jets of steam vent from tubes in the back. A steering wheel folds out to greet you. You fail to suppress a small cackle.

"YOU STAND BEFORE THE GREAT GERALD G. GOATSBY, HOLY-MAN. YOU'VE DESTROYED MY GREATEST PROJECT TO DATE. WHAT SAY YOU IN YOUR DEFENCE?"

Aggressively seize the priest by his throat. Be ready to weave some serious explosive magic if he tries anything. Tell my sneks to watch him.
1 vs 3 for you attacking Harold, 1 vs 6 for snakes.
Stab Goatsby with my crucifix as he is a crazed individual that's going around summoning demons.
1 vs 1

Harold and Goatsby lunge at each other with a sharpened crucifix and glowing red magic spells respectively. Neither was quite ready for a melee fight just yet, apparently. They mostly just flail around at each other for a bit. However, a serpent approaches to aid its master and gets an accidental crucifix stab to the chest for its trouble. The serpent recoils with acidic milk blood marring the ground beneath it.

You don’t want to get thrown, you piss off. Got it?
If he doesn’t run away, pummel him into submission or death, whichever comes first.
1 vs 3-1
(It was at this point that I got sick of all these 1's and started rolling a physical D6 for the rest of the actions this turn. This is less meaningful from you people's perspective, since I rearranged the actions. But to be clear, it was the sixth 1.)
Heal thyself(use powers to heal my arm.)

My rolls have been really crappy.
3+1 for Grail's assist.
Cast a heal miracle and cure the wounds of me and my new allies.
4
Quote from: Adventurers
Get him while he's down!
4 vs 5-1
Quote from: GROGNAR
MIGHTY!!!!
2-1 vs 6 against Aaron.

Adam steps away from the fight to try and replace his severed arm. Initially, the limb comes out twisted and demonic, but then Adam's attention is drawn to the somehow regal-looking mug on the ground. The Grail Mug glows with its own light and reforms Adam's arm into a healthy state while also fixing its own damage.

Meanwhile, GROGNAR gets back up, defiantly shouting his name and ignoring Aaron's warning. The adventurers rush forward, but are unable to land any serious blows. At least they survive. GROGNAR ultimately just leaps over their heads toward Aaron. The dragon god rushes forward to meet him. Aaron tries to beat down GROGNAR, but the barbarian dodges the blows and gets a grip on Aaron's armor. "NOW WE SEE HOW YOU LIKE GETTING THROWN, PUNY DRAGONMAN!" GROGNAR tosses Aaron back and the god's exit from the building smashes the front door off its hinges in the process. GROGNAR marches forward, laughing manically as Aaron recovers. In fact, he's laughing so hard that he doesn't see the punch incoming before it lands squarely on his chin and launches him into the sky. If GROGNAR survived that, it'll be a while until you see him again.

And then Cormac finally comes back and sees the damage.

Go home with MAGIC!

3

Alright. You didn't want to use these powers, but nobody's watching and you really don't want to be in the woods by nightfall. You take a quick look around and teleport back to the outskirts of your village before returning to the pub. When you get there, it's been trashed by no less than three divine beings and four adventurers having a massive brawl with GROGNAR. Through the now-empty doorframe, you can see a massive hole in the back and what looks like a severed arm on the ground beyond. There are also a bunch of unconscious barbarians scattered around.

Turn 8

Anna puts her sniper rifle away as she slowly walks towards Margaret. She looks down at Margaret and spits at her. "You'll not fool anyone ever again, mutant. It's time to pay for your misdeeds..." After saying this, Anna pulls out her Ripper (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Ripper_(Fallout:_New_Vegas)) to finish Margaret off.

Cut her head in half, then go back to the Moorsburg.

EDIT: Damn, how did I failed to notice that I wrote "at" instead of "and"?

2 vs 2-2, 4 to find cow, 6 to milk cow.

Margaret snarls and raises her hands to defend herself as your ripper buzzes to life. However, her injuries slow her down a bit too much. The ripper slashes and gnaws until her head explodes into a mass of gore. Her lifeless body falls to the ground as you turn and walk away. You exit the forest as the funeral songs of mourning mutants wail from the trees. Your excellent performance in this fight prepares you for future battles. (+1 on ambush rolls from now on.)

You know Moorsburg doesn't have any milk or cows, so you head to the neighboring village. You find a cow there and successfully fill a canteen with milk.

YOU WIN THE GAME!!!

However, several farmers are angrily approaching after spotting you messing with their cow. What do you do?

"BASTARD!"

Attempt to transmute Harold's blood into bullet ants. That'll show that holy-man why he shouldn't be hurting my snek children.
6 vs 3
Try and stab Goatsby with the crucifix again, if that doesn't work try and get god to smite him.
2 vs 2-1, 6-1 to request aid.
(Initiative:Goatsby goes first.)

Goatsby hops back from the melee and calls down a curse on Harold. Harold falls to his knees in pain as bullet ants begin to crawl around in his veins and furiously sting him. Harold tries to slash at Goatsby, but drops his crucifix instead. As the uninjured serpent crawls up to finish him, Harold prays for divine assistance. The snake spreads a milky hood and goes for the fatal bite. It is interrupted and pulled away when the reanimated sword-wielding arm of a certain Nephilim leaps into the fray and tackles the serpent. The arm then releases it and slides over to Harold. It shakes its fist at Goatsby with righteous anger.

A steam wagon rolls by, creating a brief screen of dust between the two sides.

Advance to the castle and knock on the door or ring the bell if they have these.

Quote from: Gargoyle
Intruder.
6 vs 3

You ride up the drawbridge and dismount. When you approach the gate, you see no watchman ready to open the door for you. You look up at a rustle of stony wings just in time to see the gargoyle leap down at you. It backhands you into the moat a few feet below the bridge and looks ready to continue its attack.

GET! OUT! OF! MY! BAR! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!
Jesus christ people, I went out for five minutes to fetch some milk, and this is what you people do to my bar room...
Start to clean up the bar. Use magic only if nessecary. Remove Barbarian bodies in the river, and once finished, close it up for the day, and settle down for a nice cup of Ice Cold Milk. Also, Fine Adam. I don't care how divine of an entity he is, he's not getting away with destroying the bar.

5

You're understandably furious with the Grail group for smashing up your bar. However, Aaron pays generously for the damage and a local alchemist arrives shortly looking for work. Adam even employs his own magic to perform miraculous repairs. Perhaps he went a bit far in the Heaven/Hell decorations, but you can have the alchemist change things back to the way you prefer them. Even the severed arm seems to disappear on its own when you aren't looking. You send the unconscious barbarians on their way like a bunch of musclebound baby Moseses and sit down in your favorite chair. You enjoy the milk as a strange wagon furiously rolls its way along the road outside.

The Barbarian started this fight, we simply ended it, but fine, I'll fix this.

Fix the bar room with magic.

6

You restore the bar room to a much improved state. You use a bit too much power and accidentally spawn slightly disturbing depictions of events that happened or are to happen in the heavens. This might have been a problem, but Cormac seems to have dealt with it on his own.

A noisy wagon rolls by.

Ah. Ok.
Pay Cormac something in the vein of 50 platinum coins. That should cover it all, right?

I'm just going to go off the Terraria currency system.
Alright, this area uses Terraria money. For those who haven't played it, 1 silver is 100 copper, 1 gold is 100 silver, and 1 platinum is 100 gold. 
4

You pay well for the restoration of the damage and the bar is soon restored to its proper state. It even seems a bit improved from before. A mechanical wagon clatters and smashes through the street, but doesn't hit anything near to the bar.

"Alas, I need more practice... but I shall look on the bright side and accept that anything can have a use."
Pocket the Nausea Potion. If I need to find/fight a large spider, I'll need a suitable weapon. Find a small errand in town to obtain coin for said weapon.

5

You go looking for work. Apparently, a massive brawl trashed the local bar. The owner needed assistance with cleaning up the wreckage. You perform admirably and are paid well for your work. (+1 on buying things from now on.)

The passing steam wagon thankfully doesn't hit the pub.

Meditate. Focus really hard and try to find the direction in which the Unholy Pail has it's lair and my stolen sacred milk.

2

As the others fix up the bar, you sit on a nearby stone and try to sense your stolen milk. Alas, you used a bit too much of your remaining power in defeating GROGNAR and his minions. You feel a flicker but are unable to sense anything relevant. Maybe the noise of the passing machine distracted you.

Go home and start making cheese.

2

You get home, dodging some mad scientist on a rogue wagon, and attempt to make some cheese. However, you find that your cheesemaker's equipment is in no condition to be used right now. An inconvenient rat is crawling about on your tools and dirtying them.

bait the troll into charging me, then dodge out of the way and bite at it's arms and legs again. Immobilise it!

4 to bait it, 2+1 vs 5

You successfully bait the troll with chattering mandibles and waving pincers. It rushes forward unexpectedly fast and strikes you with your club before you can react. You're knocked to the mud as the troll raises its club for a followup beating.

Go look for the bottle in the local inn.

3+1 for active spell.

You float to the pub. No need to walk when Overland Flight is easily available. You scout out the premises and find the milk bottle is currently in the possession of the bar owner. At the moment, there are enough powerful beings present to make stealing the bottle inadvisable. If that's what you wanted to do, you are Neutral after all.

PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL!

...METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING, OF COURSE. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS VEHICLE CONTROLLED BY A PEDAL OF ANY KIND, OR EVEN IF FLOOR IS MADE OF METAL

POINT IS, DRIVE FAST. IF I CAN ALSO FIGURE OUT HOW TO STEER, TRY TO STAY OUT OF THE MAIN PART OF TOWN AND HEAD FOR MY SECRET LAIR, BUT VELOCITY IS MY PRIORITY.

It does have a steering wheel. What it doesn't have is stealth, apparently. The accelerator seems to be stuck. You crash through the wall of the barn and clatter-roll through random objects, fish carts, and through the center of town. Nobody could have failed to spot that.

Accepting the fact that she may never return back to the current time, Anna decides to find her place in this timeline. However, as Anna turns away from the cow, she sees angry farmers...

Say to the farmers that I want to speak to the cow's owner.
Say to the cow's owner that I'll compensate him/her with money, should he/she name me the price and give time to collect money (3 turns).

5, 2+1, 6

The farmers respond kindly as you explain yourself. They notice your unusual accent and garb and identify you as some sort of lost foreigner. Remembering a priest who once told them to show generosity to strangers, they offer you some of their food to go with your milk and bring you to the village head. The head is much more cautious about you, but the villagers convince him to let you potentially buy a cow.

Blacksmithing seems like your best option for a job due to your experience with customizing weapons. You do fairly well. The usual blacksmith seems suspicious of your skills and mysterious gear, however. You have just enough money for the cow.

Cormac hands out drinks and Adam rounds up the party for some quick training as the Grail looks for the Pail. Adam shows off demonstrations of swordplay and minor magic as Aaron occasionally assists. The adventurers seem to noticeably improve in terms of teamwork and following orders. (+1 when attacking a target someone else is attacking.)

The Grail has a vision when all this is done. In its mind, it clearly sees the first step on the Quest for the Unholy Pail! You must go to (roll) the Neighboring Village. Once there, you'll need to search the place for a sign that will point the way to your next objective. With the strength of this vision, the Grail also detects that the sign will have something to do with a foreign woman who came from a land of fire and dust.

Put the milk in a safe place and take care of the rat.

Setting the milk to the side, you manage to capture the rat under a bowl and place a weight atop it. You could kill it effortlessly, but you have heard tales of wilderness creatures that someday reward those who show them mercy.

Nobody chooses to purse your rattling machine as you roll out of town and into. Your rampaging joyride is then abruptly ended when you collide with a tree. When you regain consciousness, the wagon is damaged and currently unable to move. A sad song seems to play from the still-functioning steam pipes.

Through the pain of the ants in his blood, Harold calls out for healing. His blood is purged of ants and he reaches for his crucifix. Just before he touches it, Goatsby blasts him back with Entropy Milk and keeps him away. Adam's disembodied arm is suddenly deprived of its weapon when the sword vanishes. It pounces forward and punches the injured serpent in the nose. In response, the other serpent chomps down on the liberated limb. It thrashes around in the snakes jaw as the fangs dig in.

Name: 0cra
Description: An ordinary person that wants milk
Why do you want milk? To sell it on the black market

"Alright, time to get milk."

>Go steal milk from the grocery store
Oops, missed this one.

You go looking for a market with intention to steal milk. This village has lost its supply, while the nearest village is sold out. You have to make the longer trek to town instead. You make it there, but the guards are on alert. This is not a place that shows pity on lawbreakers.

OOC:
Ah hell, I still haven't gotten around to finishing reading the first game. Guess I'll have to go through quickly. From what I've seen of this one so far, it seems like it'll live up to the original though.
You needn't, it can be understood perfectly without it.

I'd agree that reading the first isn't necessary to play this one, but I strongly object to the insinuation that anyone, including me, fully understands what's happening in either game.

(Also, thanks for saying that, Person. I was a bit worried I'd mess up the sequel.)

Anna thanks the blacksmith for letting her work as an apprentice. She notices that the blacksmith is suspicious of her, so Anna explains him her (fake) story: "I've came here from a continent to the West, across the Atlantic Ocean. I'm a citizen of an extremely advanced country called Republic of Nevada, where technology is advanced enough to be almost indistinguishable from the most complex magic. We have mechanical limbs and organs, advanced medicine, weaponry which can shoot scorching beams or green globs, capable of melting everything that moves..." Anna keeps talking about technology, and when she finally stops, she says, "...Unfortunately, our great republic almost got destroyed by a 5 years long civil war, and we only started the repopulation and surrounding exploration program a month ago. As for how I came here," says Anna while rubbing her forehead, "Uh... Looks like I suffer from a slight memory loss. That's one of the negative symptoms of using the teleport technology I've mentioned."

Anna tells the blacksmith that her name is 'Adelina Moffscrut' before finally leaving him to buy the cow.

Buy a cow and personally apologize to the farmer.
Since people consider me a foreigner, ask questions like, "Who's the local ruler?", "What country I'm in?", "Where's the capital of this country?".
Ask the villagers if they need help with bandits or any other threats.

Quote from: Snakes vs Arm
(Fighting)
4 vs 4
(Init:Zultan.)

The properly prepared priest always carries a backup crucifix. Harold flicks his wrist and his backup sacramental drops down and folds out into position. The tiny sharpened point slides from its sheath and glimmers at one end. Harold charges Goatsby, but the goat actual human casually sidesteps due to Harold's earlier injury. Goatsby then unleashes a final wave of Entropy Milk. This is finally too much for Harold, knocking him back into a wall. He doesn't disintegrate, but doesn't seem to be moving. Victorious, Goatsby waves his serpents away from their stalemate against the arm and teleports away.

Goatsby:You appear in the catacombs of your secret society. Skulls of men and goats line the walls as torches flicker. The serpents glance about and flick their tongues in curiosity.

Harold:You awake a bit later as Adam's arm pokes you. Goatsby seems to have left. At least the potentially world-ending milk is gone.

While the gargoyle is off balance, you drop kick it in the gut. The monster tips over and crashes into the moat with a resounding splash. The creature looks up at you with a cold resignation as it sinks into the moat. You have defeated the gargoyle and the way into the castle is now unguarded.

5 to placate blacksmith, 3 for quest-searching. 2+1 to buy cow.

You successfully convince the blacksmith to leave you alone. Then you purchase the cow with your earnings. It takes all your money, but you have the cow. You ask around to see if anyone needs your assistance against raiders or monsters. Nobody has anything particularly interesting at the moment. A shopkeeper asks you to collect 50 foxglove flowers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalis_purpurea). You also ask about where you are in the world. You gather that this is England. The official current ruler is King Richard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_I_of_England), but he is away on the Third Crusade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Crusade). Local power is divided between several factions, notably Prince John. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John,_King_of_England)

At about this time, a band of adventurers enters the village. Along with some human mercenaries, there's what looks a bit like a human-deathclaw hybrid, a well-dressed human with a sword, and oddly enough an animated mug. They seek you out specifically.

Alright, let’s get going to that Neighboring Village and see about some lady with a sign who probably came from some desert or volcanic location.

(Action prevented by circumstance, so no roll needed.)

The trip goes perfectly. Through possible divine intervention or just very good luck, you have an easy journey to the other village and find a woman who seems to fit your description. She seems generally confused about the situation.

Remember whether or not I prepared Suggestion.

You did in fact prepare Suggestion. However, you accidentally cast it earlier while thinking "I should prepare sufficient castings of Suggestion." All of your third and fourth level spells for today are Suggestion.

The troll to revel in its strength, and says something suitably taunting. You are unaffected by the taunting because you're a bug. You pounce at him in a brief frenzy. There is shouting, there is blood, and then there is quiet. You rise up to find yourself standing over a dead troll.

"This wi

>Grab

(Well, at least that style is easy to notice. The office of G.M.F.P.E.P approves.)
5 for stealth, 5+2 vs 2

You slip by like a ninja, picking off guards with your crossbow. You then climb a tree and deftly scale the remainder of the wall with crossbow bolts as improvised pitons. On the other side, you're standing on the roof of a storehouse. This seems to be a likely place for storing milk.

The perfect weapon for me... something lightweight and precise. A rapier is more my style, but if they don't have those, a shortsword will do.

They do in fact have a rapier. It's a fine sword, with a gilded hilt and a slightly reinforced blade. It will serve your purposes well. (+1 on fighting spiders with this sword.)

Quote from: Spiders

You venture forth with sword in hand. You keep an eye out for the telltale signs of giant spiders, such as clawmarks and enormous cobwebs. Eventually, you find one of your targets drinking from a melted-looking deer at the base of a large cliff. You creep forward to try and stab it. Before you can get close enough for a clean kill, you hear a thump from behind you as the spider's mate drops from a tree and sprays webbing. Your foot is stuck fast to the ground. The spider charges, losing an eye to your rapier for its trouble. The first spider looks back at you, but then ignores the fight to try and finish its deer.

You drag the carcass to your spawn. They swarm over and into the warm meat, chittering gratefully. You then leave in search of milk. After a bit, you see a large stone wall. Your antenna detect large amounts of milk on the other side, but you remember that dangerous creatures with weapons typically live behind these structures.

Anna agrees to join the seekers of the Holy Milk. Before leaving, the Grail decides to look for an actual sign. This is a rather literal interpretation of its vision, but it is the correct one. The Grail finds a wooden sign addressing the party directly.

"Welcome, seekers of the Holy Milk. To prove yourselves worthy, you must face the villains you could have been and still could be. If you accept this challenge, go now to the Cave of Broken Mirrors."

With Anna's Pip-boy, the Cave's location is obvious. The party sets out with a cow in tow. Anna quickly finds that the cow refuses to carry heavy loads. The adventurers will have to be used for that. On the road, Aaron leads in order to have a better chance to spot threats. A threat does materialize.

The party is forced to pass through a graveyard on the way to the Cave. Predictably, the graves begin to burst as a horde of skeletons rise from their graves. Aaron leaps into action and swings his sword at a tightly packed group. The skeletons grab his sword and weigh it down as they try to wrestle it away.

Name: ATHATH
Description: The reincarnation of that crazy guy.
Why do you want milk: So I have a justification to summon mugs from the sky.

Perform a magic ritual to summon a giant mug in the sky.

3

From your ritual chamber, you summon a giant mug. It's only about a 20ft radius though. It'll certainly do some damage wherever it hits, but it's not a true DOOM MUG.

Return to the bartender and cast Suggestion. "I Suggest that you hand me a bottle of milk."
Who do you think you're talkin' to, Yank?
I don't think I like the look of him. Politely ask him to leave, and sell him a bit of ice-cold milk if need be, but not all of it. If doesn't accept that, then get him drunk and throw him out.
Once those shenanigans are all over and done with, open up the bar again. Beer is 3 gold.

(Cormac vs Vaarsuvius)5 vs 3

Cormac tries to get Vaarsuvius to leave, but the elf's Compulsion spell is too much. Cormac goes into a momentary trance at the suggestion and hands Vaarsuvius his milk bottle. Having completed the suggestion, Cormac snaps back to reality and realizes what happened.

The door opening is technically a invitation to enter so advanced towards the higher tower.

5

You venture into the shadowy castle and head up the stairs. On the first floor, you see a noblewoman's wedding dress in a pile of dust. Also in the pile is a glittering sword with a golden hilt.

"They'll be sorry they didn't believe me when the milk demons kill them all!"

Go and find anyone who can handle the truth about the impending milkpocalypse and recruit them to help me stop it.

2

Nobody believes you. A few people carefully suggest that perhaps the stress of Goatsby's attack has driven you mad.

use my powerful forelegs to dig through the wall, then retreat and climb over it for an ambush.

6

You tunnel through the wall. However, you cause a bit too much damage on the way. The wall collapses just after you make it through to the other side. Various armed humans are nearby and wheel around in shock at the noise. A few approach you, waving shiny weapons and yelling.

You successfully intimidate the guards. They stop trying to get in and begin forming a barricade. An officer begins to try negotiating with you, but their plans are disrupted when a giant bug monster sudddenly bursts through the town wall.

(No action specified.)

You are probably Baron Von Baron of house Baron of the Barony formally known as Baronhold. You've decided to visit the milk-loving village of Moorsburg to find the perfect touch for your Baron-cookies. The town looks like most other English villages, although there's evidence about of a recent fight. Perhaps the kingdom's bandit troubles have adversely affected them. As you explore, that would seem to be the case. Someone has stolen this entire town's milk supply.

You fight viciously as the spider tries to get close enough to bite you. Ultimately, you duck underneath a pounce and slice through the underbelly as it passes. The spider is dead before it hits the ground. The other spider silently stops eating and fixes its eyes on you when it notices this.

The entire party fights their best. The adventurers show off their new group tactics, the cow smashes undead under her hooves, and the other ones also do some cool things I guess. However, the sheer force of the tide of skeletons threatens to overwhelm them. They're just too spooky. If you want to seek shelter, the gravediggers house is nearby.

Conjure and Bind a Milk Obcisidaemon (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/daemons/daemon-obcisidaemon/) with the assistance of the Initiates. Sacrifice them, if necessary.

5, adjusted to 6 by initiates "help"

You have the summoning circle all set up. The bindings are in place and you've selected the perfect Obcisidaemon specimen to call. However, as the last incantations are sung, an eager apprentice tries to impress you by increasing the power of the demon. This was not a good idea. The blurred image of the Obcisidaemon vanishes in sulphur. You barely manage to kill the fool before something ELSE responds to the open gate. The room fills with a hum of power and a figure begins to warp and flicker in the center of the chamber. Whatever it is, it's much too dangerous for the bindings you had in place. The True Name has been invoked too many times.

Something wicked this way comes.

You're unable to get back onto the damaged wall and the humans jump you while your back is turned. Even with this advantage, they can't get through your armor. They scream and run after you pull off a few of their limbs. A moment later, something above you hurts you. Sharp bolts stick out of your elytra.

Quote from: skeletons
(Attacking)
5 vs 6 against Aaron
(Init:Skeletons)

The Grail Mug notes that the battle seems hopeless, and so decides to help the willing innocents escape. The Mug successfully leads the adventurers and the cow to safety under a glorious holy light. The escapees immediately take up positions inside the gravedigger's modest house. An adventurer keeps watch at the door to save anyone who needs retreat.

Meanwhile, the skeletons close in as Aaron, Adam, and Anna eagerly prepare for battle. Adam's holy blast fizzles due to the distraction of a psychic battle with a reborn demonic threat. Anna throws plasma grenades into the horde, but a skeleton notices the gesture. It manages to pick up a grenade and toss it back at Anna. Anna dodges aside just enough to avoid getting turned into a pile of green goo, but is hurt badly. Her Pip-boy flashes a display of a cartoonish figure with a blinking head and leg. Anna escapes while her allies cover her.

Aaron however is tired of having such trouble with mere undead. He shifts to Ethereal Dragon Form, then activates Fire Dancer, and proceeds to lay into the skeletons with both his greataxe and the Dramei Warhammer. Also, he makes sure to continue being on fire. This does 120+80 physical damage times 2, 20+60+40 fire damage, and 20 arcane damage. 400 phys, 120 fire, and 20 arcane, assuming no resistances or 540 damage in one turn. He also makes sure to get +4 on this roll, to ensure he hits. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=164517.msg7583467#msg7583467)

The point is, a bunch of the skeletons are now super dead.

Throw the Nausea Elixir I created at the other spider to distract it whilst I try to cut myself free from the web.

You successfully smash the bottle into the other spider's face. As it blinks and gags, you cut yourself free with a flourish. Your sword's reflection shines off the arachnid's black eyes as you get ready to fight an angry spider the size of a bear.

is this the sword I was searching for? If yes take it if not continue to the top floor. If unknown take it and continue to the top floor.

2,2

Unfortunately, it's just a normal, if nice, sword. The one you need is imbedded in the castle's throne. You pick it up and try heading upstairs. The staircase unfolds underneath you. You find yourself sliding rapidly down a chute before being deposited in a darkened chamber. This area is made of stone and flooded up to your ankles. The only light is a thin beam that follows you down the chute from the cracks in the ceiling above. You can hear something splashing around in the darkness.

"Fine, I don't need the help of these nonbelievers, I'll save the world from the milk based demons by my self!"

Go and find a holy sword and fill a bottle with holy water, then try and find out where Goatsby went.

6, 6

You don't need them. It's time for Harold Johnson, ROGUE PRIEST (https://i.imgur.com/H3weBG7.png). You take a holy relic sword from the Church and snatch a bottle of holy water. This marks you as a thief, but a mere prison is nothing to fear compared to the threat of Milk. You take to the streets of Moorsburg. In the course of roughing up outlaws, avoiding capture, and other such adventures, you find clues relating to an insidious cult. Supposedly, they have a secret catacomb lair from which they launch their crimes. Before you can coerce your informant into giving you the location, you're forced to flee before a watchman with a hound can find you.

Search around for the leader of this town, try to find out what happened to the milk.

6,4-1

You search around for the village headsman. You find him, but what you consider merely the appropriate attitude for a Baron Von Baron dealing with his social inferiors offends the man. He tells you that the milk was stolen. Probably a thief did it.

"WELL, I SUPPOSE I SUCCEEDED. BUT SO MUCH FOR THE BINDINGS." Goatsby sits down outside the fractured summoning circle. "YOU'RE WELCOME, ATHATH- EVEN IF IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. NOW GO WREAK HAVOC AND FURTHER INDULGE YOUR WEIRD MUG FETISH."

You look on as the demon you summoned enters the world and immediately begins telepathic arguments. Presumably, it has already found a few enemies. The ATHATH demon. You know from your studies that this creature is said to be a bringer of unprecedented milk-based destruction, typically involving giant mugs. Perhaps this would be a good time to find a safe distance. You close your eyes and concentrate for a moment. You open them to find yourself on a hilltop in a distant forest. Trees rise up behind you and a coastline is visible on the eastern horizon. A small black and white animal shuffles away in surprise. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk)

Yeah, and not a f*cking good one.
So, you need my help to deal with it?
Yes.
Unfortunatly.
It's a deal.

4 vs 4


ATHATH AND ADAM CONTACT EACH OTHER. ENEMIES FROM A WORLD THAT WAS, WILL BE, AND NEVER EXISTED MEET AGAIN ON A NEW BATTLEFIELD. HEAVEN AND HELL AND MORTAL SPEAK TRUTHS. A WAR BEGINS.

Not much happens this time though. ATHATH just sort of distracts Adam for a moment, without getting his powers.

"An imposter? Me? No, that is false! I am the true ATHATH! You will bow before me!"

Summon a DOOM MUG in orbit above the false ATHATH.

4

The ATHATH summoned from a lost timeline and England's native ATHATH immediately sense each others presence. One world is not enough to abide two of these creatures. Inevitably, one of the worldkillers promptly tries to solve the dispute in the way they know best. High in orbit, an enormous Mug is born. Miles wide, it begins its meteoric fall directly toward the foreign ATHATH.

11 turns to apocalyptic DOOM MUG impact.

Unfortunately, the other ATHATH here kind of threw a wrench in those plans, and since people are already attempting to lynch me, I suppose I'm going to have to stick with what I'm investing in right now (improving the other ATHATH's Doom Mug (as distinct from a DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG))."

Turn 14

Use Doctor's Bag to heal myself.
Use Anti-Materiel Rifle to help my companions. Hopefully the house has a window or two to shoot from.

3, 4 vs 2-2
Clean up the rest of the Undead. I tire of this tedious uprising.
4 vs 5-2
Roll around in the house, trying to find something useful to stop the skeleton problem.

If there's nothing, use prayer energy to create an unbreakable light barrier that stops skeletons, ghosts, monsters, zombies, imps, undead, skeletons, demons, revenants, beasts, ghouls, phantoms, pails and skeletons from entering the house.

(I just want to say that attempting to specifically prevent pails was pretty funny.)
3, 1
(Skeletons)
2-2 vs 3
(Adventurers)
6 vs 2-2
(Cow)
6 vs 4-2

As Adam flies off to deal with the new threat, the others continue the battle against the skeletons. The undead horde is clearly weakened by their recent casualties. Anna mostly fixes up her injuries, but keeps some scars. The Mug tries to create a barrier, but instead causes the affected targets to be drawn to the house. In the end it doesn't matter. With superior power and tactics, Aaron, Anna, and the minions wipe out the skeletons. The last crippled undead tries to crawl away only for the cow to crush its spine and unleash a triumphant moo.

I know a dramatic cue when I see one.
Accept my newfound heroic destiny. Use the advantage I created to fight that spider!

3+1 vs 6-1

Unfortunately the spider views this as a more revenge/tragic hero story against the woman who killed its mate. The thing pounces you and looms overhead with its fangs dripping venom.


"He tried to grab the milk out of my hand, he said he needed it to stop some sort of "DOOM MUG". There's not really much else to say." If they have no questions, I leave.

4

The guards seem to believe your story. Since milk-grabbing isn't actually a major crime, they let you go. Most of the guards leave as well, aside for one.

Panic.

Gather everything I own that I can carry, and run as far away as possible. Tuck the time machine blueprints and auxiliary controls into a very safe pocket.

You try to flee, but a guard grabs your shoulder as you go for the door. "Whoa there friend, you seem a bit...confused. Are you alright? Perhaps you should sit down for a moment."

who shot me? Find them, grab em with my forelimbs, and give em a good thrashing to teach em not to mess with a giant beetle!
3, 4-2 (Injury+poor roll on finding him) vs 1
(0cra:Auto-self defense roll.)
1-1 vs 5-1
(Init:Stormslayer)

You scramble up the wall. Your wound enrages and confuses you, but you find the target. It bounces another bolt harmlessly off your armor as you grab it, shake it, and toss it aside. The creature looks wounded now.

start climbing the wall I have to get to the top. /b]

6

You climb loudly up the chute, dislodging old muck and rot as you go. A fallen rock hits the water as you reach the top. Whatever was splashing around down there, you can clearly hear it now rushing toward the bottom of the chute.

"I told everyone this would happen but they didn't believe me, and now there is a giant mug falling from the sky. I must act quickly or else we all might die."

Find out the location of the secret catacomb lair and go there.

1, 6

You follow leads as hard as you can. After a wild and lengthy adventure involving bandits, Knight Templars, the nobility, princesses, Saladin, and even a venture into the halls of the King himself, you finally track down the heart of a sinister plot in the halls of power. However, it just turns out to be a plot by Prince John to seize land in northern France. It didn't help you find the milk-cult at all, what a waste of time.

Go drink at the nearest tavern
"So! Any problems with thieves and bandits here? I BARON BARON VON BARON OF HOUSE BARON shall help if so!"

2

It turns out the tavern is closed at the moment. The owner is inside with one guard. The owner seems panicked and the guard seems confused.

5

You find a pack of bears roaming freely. You briefly prepare to defend yourself, but then you notice the colorful garb on the bears. From that and the snapped ropes trailing from their necks, you can tell that these must be trained bears escaped from some carnival troupe. The bears seem somewhat lost and hungry.

Attempt to terraform the area into something more chaotic and entropic. Something a lunatic like me would find amusing/useful.

5

The terrain around you turns into a colorful but surreal Tim Burton dreamscape. You can expect help from the landscape itself as long as you're in this area and the local creatures are able to provide it.

"This is what comes of opposing me, the true ATHATH!"

While the DOOM MUG falls, work on summoning a rain of MINI-MUGS above the false ATHATH's position. Naturally they should explode.

6 vs 5

As the Doom Mug continues toward the other ATHATH, you send down your bombardment of MINI-MUGS. You sense they hit him, but didn't do much damage.

"What in the Hells is this pathetic thing? It's got flaws all over it, and it doesn't even have a method of autonomous propulsion. Also, it looks ugly as sin. Here, let me turn it into a REAL DOOOOOOOOOM MUUUUUUUUG for you."

Improve the False ATHATH's DOOM MUG (he didn't even put more than two "o"s in its name) for him. Perhaps this can signal the start of an alliance or friendship (or a contest of DOOOOOOOOOM MUUUUUUUUUG improvement one-upmanship) between us.


2

You try to improve the Doom Mug, but then the other ATHATH bombards you with normal-sized exploding mugs and disrupts the spell.

Oh look, a Dooooooom Mug.
Good thing we know how to deal with those.

To the rest of the party:Hey guys, can you handle these, I have to go stop my archenemy from destroying the world with a giant mug of milk.

2

You try to save the world, but it doesn't seem to be that easy. You aren't able to affect that many targets at once right now. Maybe it's leftover damage from ATHATH's attack on your soul earlier.

Additionally, Smoke Mirrors is not a character. Smoke Mirrors is one of the players.

If you can somehow find him IRL and legitimately hypnotize him into deciding to destroy the Minimalism and Milk world, then sure, that’s fair play, but otherwise, that action isn’t going to accomplish anything.

That still doesn’t make sense. Smoke Mirrors is a player, not a character in the game.

And even if you tried to make an evil twin of his character... well... he’s half good half evil. So you’d just make someone that was half evil half good.

Turn 15

I hope I can survive this...
No choice but to fight from this position. Stab the spider in the stomach.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
(Cool picture! I've always wanted to be able to draw, I'm just not willing to put in the time or effort to learn how.)
6(+1 for sword, -1 for previous hit) vs 5
(Spider)
3-1 vs 2
(Init:Cassandra)

Despite your disadvantageous position and the spider's lunging bites, you keep your cool and jab it repeatedly in the underbelly. The thing is forced to back off. It eyes you warily as it searches for an opportunity to attack.

*Edit, and then it falls over and dies. It just occurred to me that Dwayna's specialized sword that was created by two good rolls should be a bit better than it has been against its favored enemy.

Run to the top tower closing every door behind me

5

The monster in the dark thumps along the halls just behind you as you hurtle through the halls and rush up the stairs. You make it to the highest tower's entrance chamber and glance back to see a clawed hand coming around the corner. You slam the heavy door shut and drop a convenient padlock. You hear the thing scratch at the door and see a few tendrils feeling their way through the cracks. A chemical stench hangs in the air for a moment before the creature thumps away. The tallest tower is now open for you to explore. Several rooms look like promising targets.

Use holy magic to cast a guidance miracle to find the path we must follow in our quest.
5
Ride upon the cow into the Cave of Broken Mirrors.
Watch out for the traps.

4+1 for Grail.
Onwards toward that place we were going to!
3+1

The Grail's magic works perfectly. You lead your companions to the Cave quickly and efficiently. It's a pleasant trip after the skeleton battle, with good weather. The sunlight illuminates the Cave of Broken Mirrors clearly when you arrive. It looks like a large natural cave in a hillside augmented with later structures such as a carved arch over the entrance and a paved pathway within. One side of the path is lined with diverse statues of successful heroes and even a few villains at the height of their unique careers. The other side matches them with identical skulls on wooden stakes.

Anna rides the cow to the Cave. The helpful magic of the Grail heals her remaining wounds from the grenade. She is the first to enter the Cave astride her mighty proto-Brahmin. Her experienced Wastelander eye spots a textbook "greed" snare to the left of the door. A pile of gold glitters on a pedestal, but anyone who grabbed it would be crushed by a falling ceiling.

Aaron strolls up to the entrance. He almost gets sidetracked, but the Grail's magic leads him back. Aaron recognizes ancient carvings in an eldritch language on the entry's arch. They read: "Welcome. This is a place of testing for all those who would count themselves worthy of the Unholy Pail's gifts. Enter here, if you have the resolve to claim the prize. If not, another will be found."

Keep looking for the entrance to the catacombs.

3

You follow up on some old clues you had previously ignored as far-fetched. Eventually, you head into the swamp and find a crumbled old watchtower. Supposedly, this is one of the entrances to the catacombs. You're unable to easily enter, however. A squad of cultist guards with a minor milk demon are guarding the way in.

Knock on the door. Demand that they tell me where the milk thieves are and to sell booze.

3

You successfully knock on the door and voice your demands. The owner ignores you, grabs his possessions, and runs for the hills. The guard shrugs at you and leaves to rejoin his allies.

Alright, good. Now use Conjuration magic to shape a Wizard Tower for me to reside within and perform rituals from.

1+1

You try summoning a Wizard Tower. You get the first few floors done, but then one of your serpents hisses a warning. You realize at the last moment that the base had become unstable and the tower was toppling toward you. You don't get hit. A passing cloud in your Madness Zone snatches up the falling building with tendrils and then devours it before floating away. At the moment it leaves the Zone, you see the pieces of partially digested building fall into the distant ocean.

Try again.

2

Your spell still doesn't work. The Doom Mug continues its fatal descent toward the unsuspecting people below.

"Ah... it's you. I have something special in store for you..."
Summon up an Elder Doppleganger of Smoke Mirrors. Y'know, standard evil twin stuff.

2
I'll admit I'm kind of disappointed, after that buildup.

You try to conjure the doppleganger. It pops into existence with a blast of light and shadow, looking about in search of the original. The Anti-Adam draws its sword and begins to fly away. Before it can get far, the inherent contradictions and improbability of its existence get to it. The clone explodes on the horizon. Whoops.

"Well, if you don't want any help improving your Doom Mug, I'm going to go and stop us all from getting erased from the timesteam."

Find the time machine plans and burn them to ashes with hellfire.


3

You teleport to Cormac's presence, intent on preserving this specific instance of the timeline. You spot him and hurl an immediate fireball. It goes wide and alerts the terrified innkeeper to your presence. He looks very familiar.

Politely inform him that I'm okay, and that I suddenly remembered that my third cpusin had invited me over, and that I need to go there now.
Pack up as I described before then run in any direction that concievably leads away.
Try to find mountains.


3

You gather your things and run. You reach the hills and stop to catch your breath. It's then that a tree explodes ahead of you. You wheel around to see the same ATHATH you remember from your original timeline floating toward you. He looks much more evil now than back when you were both renting that house in Genericville.

Leave and head to my secret base.

3

You head to your "secret base". It's really just a camp outside town for now, but the name will be appropriate when you attain complete and total arcane power. You'll probably make some upgrades then.

>Heal myself, ditch the crossbow for a charge rifle, and kick the giant bug's ass.
6 to recover, 2 vs 5 to attack
(Stormslayer auto-defense)
4 vs 6-1
(Init:0rca)

0rca draws a rifle and casts a healing spell, but overshoots on the power. Stormslayer is healed too. 0rca charges in and almost gets mauled for the trouble. He's able to save himself by warding Stormslayer off with charge rifle shots as he backs up. Downstairs, the guards can be heard trying to get in and finish you both off while you're distracted with each other. (Guards:3) The door is audibly cracking, but isn't down yet.

9 turns to apocalyptic DOOM MUG impact.

OOC:
This is becoming more and more confusing.

I hope it's the good kind of ridiculously confusing. I could do a recap update instead of a turn next time, if people want me to.

Post by: Enemy post on May 14, 2018, 12:39:12 am
Recap

This should cover the basics of what's happened so far. Sorry if your events got left out, I tried to keep it down to only the minimum.


Turn 1

The game starts. Bork the cat starts wandering around the village. Aaron Blaze, the dragon god of luck, looks for adventures. Goatsby the goat wizard normal human summons a potentially world-ending self-replicating milk fountain. Anna, who is the protagonist from Fallout:New Vegas, finds herself in a new world. Ziizo, an ambiguously vampire-like adventurer, steals a horse and goes to visit the nearest village. A mad scientist named 'Doctor' Matteo Schubert von Alvritcke looks for milk to power a flesh golem. Adam Simons, who is secretly Nephalem from the original game, appears in town.

Turn 2

Almost everyone goes on personal quests in search of milk. In particular, Adam Simons decides to go looking for the Holy Grail. Harold the priest charges out and tries to stop Goatsby's fountain. Anna goes in search of milk in the swamp, based on the advice of an obvious witch. Mario the cheese maker and Jebbediah the commoner go looking for milk.

Turn 3

The Holy Grail turns out to be in the village. It is also a sentient mug. The Holy Milk of the Holy Grail has been stolen by the Unholy Pail and a team is formed to go after it.

Turn 4

The Grail Team consists of Aaron Blaze, Adam Simons, The Grail, and four adventurers. They quickly anger a barbarian named GROGNAR. Harold destroys the Fountain, saving the world. Stormslayer joins the game and attacks a troll to feed its young.

Turn 5

Goatsby attacks Harold to avenge his fountain. GROGNAR attacks Grail Team. Cormac wins the game by buying a bottle of milk.

Turn 6

Ziizo goes on a quest to get a king's sword in order to inherit his milk empire. Cassandra joins the game, and begins an elaborate scheme to collect milk from giant spiders. Battles continue.  'Doctor' Matteo Schubert von Alvritcke acquires a steam wagon and goes on a rampage.

Turn 7

Mario wins the game by stealing milk from a peasant. GROGNAR is defeated by Aaron punching him into the sky. Vaarsuvius joins the game and searches for milk with D&D spells.

Turn 8

Anna defeats and kills the witch in the swamp, before winning the game by getting milk. Various characters fix Cormac's bar after trashing it in the fight against GROGNAR. Matteos crashes the wagon. 0rca joins the game and goes looking for milk. His posts are distinctively difficult to read.

Turn 9

People are generally picking up the pieces from previous events here. Grail Team leaves town on their quest.

Turn 10

Goatsby defeats Harold and teleports to his secret lair. Stormslayer kills the troll. Grail Team recruits Anna.

Turn 11

0rca wins the game by taking over a milk warehouse. Harold begins searching for Goatsby's lair. Stormslayer feeds the troll to its young and goes looking for milk. Grail Team goes looking for their next objective, the Cave of Broken Mirrors. They are then attacked by skeletons.

Turn 12

Vaarsuvius steals Cormac's milk by using Suggestion spells. FallacyofUrist joins the game as ATHATH, who is a demon who was nearly successful in an attempt to destroy the world via giant mugs in the previous game. Goatsby tries to summon a demon. 0rca is besieged by guards and ultimately gets into a battle with Stormslayer. Baron Von Baron joins the game and wanders the village looking for milk.

Turn 13

Goatsby accidentally summons the original ATHATH and teleports to somewhere far away. He then warps the landscape into something insane. FoU-ATHATH summons a Doom Mug, which will eventually destroy the world if not prevented.

Turn 14

Grail Team defeats the skeletons, but Adam leaves them in order to fight against the schemes of both ATHATHs. Cormac spots the new Doom Mug and runs for the hills. He recognizes it because he's actually Shaun from the first game. FoU-ATHATH antagonizes the original ATHATH. Matteo decides to fortify his lair.

Turn 15

ATHATH teleports to Cormac and attacks him in an effort to destroy his time machine blueprints. Vaarsuvius wanders off. Cassandra defeats the spiders. Grail Team finds the Cave. Harold finds the entrance to Goatsby's lair, but it's guarded.

OOC:Hopefully this is clear enough. I can expand on parts if people want. Next time I'll do Turn 16.

Turn 16

Roll towards the entry and cast a sunlight spell to use as a light source. Continue onwards, being wary of traps.
Light:5, Explore:6
Procede inwards, I presume. Don’t get trapped.
5
Prepare my Automatic Rifle.
Go inwards and look out for the traps.

4

The party gets ready and explores deeper into the Cave. Soon they come to a fork in the road. Three halls lead to three chambers. A carved slab explains further:"This is where you must be refined, like metal in a forge. Three possible confrontations lie before you. You must challenge either your unchangeable past, your possible future, or risk a confrontation with the fabric of the universe itself. Choose wisely, and choose only one."

Check the purity of the milk to see how useful it will be.

6

It seems a little too pure, actually. Anything you make with this will have a good chance of spiraling out of hand. But isn't that the best part of being a wizard?

the sword is in the throne of the dark lord. So search for the room at the top of the tower.

4

You find the throne room, entering through a shadowed balcony. The whole room is a dreary affair, lit by torches. An ancient human figure is stooped on the throne. The King's sword is lodged in one of the arms, buried up to the hilt. The figure wears black robes with a pointed silver crown on his head. He holds a common-looking cup of an ominous red liquid in one hand. A pair of undead hounds sit by either side of him.

Wait for the guard to leave and try and get into that tavern and th e precious booze inside. NONE SHALL DENY BARON BARON VON BARON HIS DRINK!

5

The guard leaves shortly. You then walk up to the door, kick it in, and enter without breaking stride. The bar is open to you. You happily prepare your first chosen drink yourself in the absence of a bartender.

Attempt to forge a tower out of the Schizo-Land™ itself, stabilized just enough to be a suitable hub for my Wizardly Duties.

4+1

An enormous tumor of grass and earth rises from the ground in front of you. The land sloughs away to reveal a giant egg, which hatches into a larger dragon. The dragon glances around and immediately lunges at you with flames flickering from its nostrils. Before it can reach you, a tree begins to sprout from its mouth. The dragon rears back and turns to stone as the tree grows. The tree becomes the size of a building on its own. When it's growth is finished, mushrooms burst from both the dragon and the tree. Both are soon scattered with the mushrooms. Pieces of the mushrooms then fall off to reveal pleasant windows with furnished rooms behind them. A door then appears over the stone dragon's heart. An endless centipede of bones then crawls out from the door and snakes down the side. It looks you in the eye and screams the word "ABIOGENESIS". Its body shrivels and folds into working stairs. The head falls off and crawls away with its tongues.

Success!

(Adam vs New ATHATH:6 vs 5, Adam vs ATHATH Classic:3 vs 3, Adam vs Mug:5)

Old ATHATH goes quiet for a moment as New ATHATH tries to steal the time machine plans first. Cormac threatens the plans with a lighter to try and intimidate the other ATHATH, unsuccessfully. It's then that Adam makes his move. Adam tries merging together everything in the ATHATH-verse. Only Old ATHATH successfully resists. In orbit, the Doom Mug vanishes. On Earth, New ATHATH vanishes. On the edge of the atmosphere, the two are fused together. Neither fully demon nor mug, New ATHATH is fused with his Mug. He's a hybrid demon-mug thing now with the powers of both. Minus dropping himself on the world, that's not really viable at only 12 feet tall.

Kill the nonbelievers and their milk based demon with my holy sword.

1+1 vs 5
(Arm vs Cultists)5 vs 5

You charge the cultists with noble intent but inferior numbers. You quickly find yourself surrounded. All hope seems lost, but then the same severed arm that aided you earlier jumps in. It grabs a cultist by the head before getting shaken off.

(Thank you for the compliment ^^)

@EP, please explain: one choice for all, or one choice per person?

Each person gets one choice, but you can choose the same one to work together.

I do have to say though, that I think EP may have misinterpreted my action.

I knew that wasn't really what you were going for, but it was a difficult action and result to adjudicate.

Link the two ATHATHs and the doom mug, so that neither ATHATH can use their powers unless they are in physical contact with each other, and that the doom mug can not move unless they are touching. This also negates them from using their powers to get to each other, or to dispel my effect.

(Adam vs New ATHATH:6 vs 5, Adam vs ATHATH Classic:3 vs 3, Adam vs Mug:5)

It's clearly an attack, intended to disable both ATHATHs and the Mug. Flavor wise, it was supposed to do it through supernaturally linking them together. Since there were three targets, I rolled three times. The dice said you narrowly beat Fallacy, tied with ATHATH, and had a major success against the Mug. The original action doesn't necessarily work right if one ATHATH isn't involved, but you clearly succeeded on the other two. I decided to handle it by assuming the tie wouldn't really do anything, but the other two would be linked somehow. Fallacy ATHATH shouldn't be hurt too much by it, given the close rolls. However, it seemed to make sense to eliminate the Mug as a threat for now with the 5 against it. So I went for merging them together. I think I figured it was close enough to what happened to the original game's ATHATH, since he was turned into a cow and had his soul kicked out.

(ATHATH destroying plans)3

Cormac surrenders the blueprints for the time machine and retreats into the woods. You approach the plans and pick them up. It's funny to think of the thing that once beat you as just a piece of paper now. The plans rip, shred, and burn in your grasp. Ultimately, you're standing alone in the forest as the last scraps of the blueprints float away, many trailing smoke.

Walk away from Moorsburg. Run if need be.

5

You drop the plans and bolt before ATHATH gets any more ideas about revenge. You soon put a good couple miles between yourself and Moorsburg. You pause to take a look around and find yourself in an idyllic forest glade. A herd of deer drinks from a lake, birds fly overhead, and it seems like violence and calamity have never known this place.

I'm a little worried what you people will do to it.

walk into the room sword ready to defend myself "Let me guess you are evil and I will have to fight you?"
5 on defense roll
(Lord Saxon's attack:2 vs 5+2)

The being wheezes a small chuckle as you draw your sword and issue your challenge. "Well, you could just surrender, young trespasser." He then lashes out with a fanged tentacle from his hands. You casually slice it away. Lord Saxon looks displeased and rises from his throne. He carefully places his drink down and pulls the sword free. The hounds snarl and charge.

The Grail Team gets back together and walks into the testing chamber. The cow and the adventurers follow behind. The cavern seems to struggle for a moment to process the larger crowd than normal. Smoky visions briefly flicker and fade. The room briefly takes on the appearances of a radioactive desert, a ruined castle at the end of an age, the nexus of the afterlife, and the Pail's battle against the Grail. It even becomes a smelly stable for a moment.

Eventually, Anna and Adam seem to win some sort of subconscious battle of wills among the group. The chamber coalesces into a city in ruins. Piles of sand and red banners featuring a golden bull are everywhere, but seem a bit out of place. Anna recognizes the environment as an American city, but not one she's ever been to. A squad of four soldiers in masks accompanied by a brahmin are arranged in formation alongside a path that leads to a throne. On the throne sits a threatening amalgam of a creature. It looks like a combination of the Caesar (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Caesar) that Anna once fought against and ATHATH's mutated undead form. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163787.msg7491024#msg7491024)

The voice isn't much like either, however. "Caesar-ATHATH" speaks. "So, you're all here. Before you die, you should know that this is a testing ground for those worthy of the Pail. Not a prize for 'righteous' sorts. You all mostly seem like fundamentally decent people. No offense meant, Diablo. If it were only you, you'd pass with flying colors. Anyway, your quest ends here, in an arena of your own memories. Better versions of you, superior and unfettered, will be the ones to see the Pail's castle. Please meet your betters before you die. I call them my Praetorian Guard."

Caesar-ATHATH raises a hand and new threats emerge. The first is Anna, but clad in Legionnaire equipment and bearing a ballistic fist. (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Ballistic_fist) Then a dragon stalks in from around a corner. It looks like Aaron and matches his scale colors, but this dragon is feral and lacks any semblance of humanity. Another Grail rolls out off a table. This one looks like an ostentatious golden cup with onyx gems rather than the original's proper mug shape. The last looks like a dark shadow that splits the clouds. Adam Simon's duplicate lands at the head of the enemy troops and raises his swords for battle. Anti-Simons then promptly explodes. The others look on in surprise for a moment before charging while Caesar-ATHATH looks on from his throne.

Stab the cultists in the guts with my holy sword, also try and get the arm a weapon.

6-1 vs 3, 1
(Arm's attack)
6 vs 6-1

You run from cultist to cultist, nimbly dodging their attacks while giving each one of them a quick jab in the gut. The Arm chokes out one of the cultists from behind as you fight the others. You offer it the fallen guard's sword, but the Arm declines. Apparently, it prefers hand-to-hand combat.

Chug the bottle and leave some gold on the bar, if I have no monies search for monies and put them on the bar, then walk out into the night and see what Baron von Baron can find

6, 2

You drink your fill from the unattended ale. However, a Von Baron always pays their debts. The alcohol affects your counting ability a bit. You leave a good chunk of your money behind on the counter before walking out into the streets. (-1 to buying things.)

Unfortunately, you don't find anything really interesting right now. You do briefly meet a knight who rushes by on foot without so much as a greeting. You also spot what looks like a shooting star moving in line with a set of long, narrow clouds above you.

"Well... this is interesting. I'm a mug demon now... I think I like this. Thank you very much. Excuse me, I have a world to destroy."

Teleport into the Mug Dimension. Inside the Mug Dimension, begin a ritual to merge myself with the Mug Dimension.

3

You teleport to the Mug Dimension. The milky world lies before you for the taking. Before you can do anything, a portal opens underfoot and drops you upside down back in the regular world. It then flickers and disappears.

Create a ritual to summon a gateway to the Elemental Plane of Milk. Make sure to do so in a large valley that looks like it could use a lake.

3

You research your spell, take some time to prepare it in a spell slot left open for just such a purpose, and cast. It doesn't look like it did much to the valley. You know you sensed a gate open briefly and let an outsider through somewhere, but then it's gone.

Gather and mutate a shit ton of animals. I need some Tzeentchian monstrosities to form the ranks of my henchbeasts...

6+1

You gather and collect creatures. With the help of the Zone's magic, you work on the creatures like a mad artist. You do have to admit that some of your abominations are more experiments or flights of fancy than practical weapons. One of them in particular you decide to call the "platypus" and teleport a breeding population to some unfortunate continent. Still, you have a horde of impossible creatures waiting for orders when you're done.

Shoot the Readabilty SWAT with my charge rifle.

5-1 (For previous loss) vs 5

While you're reloading from the door attack, the police burst in and open fire. You catch a bolt in the abdomen. This isn't looking good for you. You're losing blood and illegibility by the moment.



OOC:I hope I'm not doing anything wrong by giving Grail Team a longer post than the others this time. I just finally figured out what to do with that cave right before the post was due and was having fun with it.

Kick a hound into the path of the other hound.
3+1 vs 1
(Lord Saxon vs you)
6-1 vs 2+1

The hounds rush up the stairs at you, bounding and slavering. Unlike living dogs, they make no noise as they attack. One of the hounds pulls ahead and leaps at you. You catch it in the jaw with your boot. The dogs crash together and tumble down the stairs. Lord Saxon shouts in fury at the sight of his injured pets and turns into mist. He flies up to you on the balcony. You barely manage to parry his blows with your own sword as he repeatedly phases in and out of physical form to attack from multiple directions.


Enter the catacombs, have my holy sword ready for any enemies that could be inside and be vigilant and search for traps.

1

You walk into the cavern with your sword at the ready. It shines brightly in the light with the promise of more dead cultists. However, you won't be able to deliver on that promise right now. A powerful magnet concealed in a wall slit snatches your sword from your grasp and pulls it against the wall. The impact triggers a rotating section, which deposits your sword into a chute. You get one last glimpse of the hilt before it's gone. The Arm climbs up your back to pat your shoulder in sympathy.

Follow the shooting star, maybe if I wish hard enough it shall guide me, BARON VON BARON to more booze or milk

6

When you wish upon a star...

You decide to follow the star in hopes of a reward. Eventually, you come to a little house on the outer edge of Moorsburg. An alchemist is working inside, but her back is turned. A bottle of what is probably milk sits unattended on her windowsill.

(Sorry I missed last turn.)

I got what I came for. Wash up back in town and afterwards, start the experimenting with spider fluids.

5

You get home and recover from the hunt. After that, you start working with the spoils. You put most of the fluids in a alchemically cooled icebox. You do make sure to leave an open bottle of spider milk on the window. You're not sure what the benefits of room-temperature and bug-filled spider milk are, but fortune favors the bold. Once that's done, you run various experiments on the rest of your materials. You currently think you could do better than average at making cloned spiders, synthetic spider venom, spider-antivenom, or web shooters from this stuff. Of course, any or all of these could good go wrong in horrible yet groundbreaking ways.

6-2 vs 4

You almost manage to gun them all down with your superior weaponry, but the bolt in your gut is too painful. You can keep fighting, but you should keep in mind that the SWAT will kill you if they hit you even a bit more from this position. You faintly hear their leader shouting. "Criminal scum! Throw down the...whatever that is, and step out with your hands up!"

In any event, the giant beetle seems to have crawled into hiding for the moment.

If I'm far away from Moorsburg where I am, then build the shelter and light the fire here, I suppose it can't hurt.

6

You climb up on a large hill to see how far away you are from Moorsburg. You can't spot it on any horizon, so you should at least be out of the blast zone of anything that doesn't take the entirety of the British Isles with it. You also don't see any sign of giant mugs in the sky, so that apocalypse must have been averted.

You set up camp. You get the primitive shelter set up and rest by the fire for a time. You've almost dozed off when you notice the fire rapidly spreading into the enchanted glade. A unicorn looks on with serious concern.

Send a swarm of mutant creatures to spread Tzeentch's corrupting touch to saner lands.

Ever since your old Chaos buddies were eliminated by the shifting sands of time, the world just hasn't been quite crazy enough. That ends today. The mutants spread into the countryside, leaving corruption in their wake.

Ok.
On defense. Wait for one of these mates to make the first move; parry and counter. Make sure that counter is deadly, or at least crippling. A... crushing counterstrike, if you would.

EDIT: autocorrect turned "parry" into "party"...
3, 6 vs 2, fighting Anti-Aaron.
Gold. That grail is made of gold.
Gold equals riches, riches equals greed, greed equals sin. Onyx gems are black, black equals darkness and darkness equals evil.

Loudly announce that that grail is a fake and evil servant of the devil himself (to get a holy bonus against it) and smite it with the power of God!

2, 6 vs 4
Shoot at the Anti-Grail.
Dodge any attacks coming at me.

6 vs 3
Well... that was unexpected.
Really, I think it was totally expected, he tried to make an evil clone of something that is already 50% evil. Also, to the ATHATH thing, of you can hear, me, I wouldn't take offense to that, except you're ATHATH, I kind of take offense to you on principle.

You say that evil will prevail
And they shall be the ones to get the pail
But see how your powers fail
And I beleive I know the ending of this tale

So once your forces are done and fought
And the path before us with troubles is fraught
I will know with who's side I am not
So I put my powers with hero's lot.

Attack the evil Anna with my blade.

5 vs 4
(Adventurers vs Anti-Adventurers)
3 vs 6
(Cow vs Brahmin)
4 vs 4

The fight is on. The Aarons clash in a unbridled storm of obscene stats. Ultimately, the heroic Aaron gets an edge and catches his opponent with a crushing pommel to the jaw. The Grail tries to denounce the Anti-Grail, but it laughs off his grandiose words. It isn't laughing much longer after it cracks under a storm of bullets from Anna and is annihilated by the true Grail's holy light. Adam dodges around Anti-Anna's explosive punches while reciting a quick poem. He then flicks one of his swords out upon sighting a gap in her defenses. Anti-Anna gets a another small scar on her forehead to match Benny's old bullet wound. On the other side, evil gets the advantage when the adventuring parties battle. The superior training and gear of the Caesar's Legion version seems to give a crucial edge.

Meanwhile, the cow and the brahmin  (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Brahmin_(Fallout:_New_Vegas))stare blankly at each other for a moment and then just decide to scrounge for grass together.

The Mug attempts ominous chanting. The chant was a bit too much on the ominous side. Everyone gets stronger, but the villains are more improved than the heroes. Adam runs to the adventurers aid against their counterparts. However, the Praetorian squad works well enough together with the inadvertent Grail boost that they manage to fight off both the nephilim and the adventurers. Anna tries to call for Adam's assistance, but is ignored. The shotgun blast thus only wounds Anti-Anna. Both Aaron and his duplicate take to the skies for battle. They rush together and collide. The shockwave is enough to blast away the top halves of the nearby buildings, but both dragons are unscathed.

Meanwhile the cows graze. They find a nutritious supply of illusion-grass buried under an overturned car.

Goatsby's spell is already unsuccessful, while ATHATH's spell malfunctions when it hits the Madness Zone. The Sun is now deadly to Goatsby's mutants when they're outside the Zone.

remove my cloak in a acrobatic way hiding myself from view for a second.
Use that second to steal the sword from Lord Saxon mist/hands.


1, 6-2 vs 1

You attempt to do an acrobatic trick with your cloak, but just end up tangled up and fall over. Lord Saxon bursts into his first genuine laugh in centuries. By the time he recovers, you've stolen his sword. His dogs stand back up and carefully advance up the stairs.

"NEVER!", 0cra yells, as he runs for cover and patches himself up before returning fire.

6

You duck behind cover as arrows sail in above you. You go for bandages, but find that you're out. You hear the boots of the guards advancing up the stairs and are forced to use your most dangerous technique. The Unending Unreadability. This berserker rage gets you back on feet, but you enter an unstoppable killing rage and fight to the death.

You whip around the corner and gun down a row of guards. A crossbow bolt to your shoulder then knocks the charge rifle from your hand. You yell in unintelligible fury and slide down the banister while pulling out the bolts. At the bottom, you slam both bolts through the visor of the one who shot you. A massive guard then pulls you off her and slams you into a wall. He goes for a finishing curb stomp, but you catch the underside of his heel with your working hand. Tearing off the leg, you beat him to death with it and run outside. The guards on the walls open fire as you beat your way through the sword wielding guards running to engage you. A bolt in your lower spine stops the charge. The commander strolls forward, calmly cocking his crossbow. You respond by using the last of your strength to throw the leg right through his gut. He crumples to his knees and asks one question. "Why?" Your final reply is quick and clear.

You try building a palisade, but don't seem to have the strength for moving and cutting the logs. Spending your extensive lifespan unlocking the means to unravel the universe and reshape it according to your will rather than, say, jogging, has left you a bit weak.

Sneak up to the window seal before proudly and loudly making my presence known and my intentions to take the milk heard, request to purchase it.
"I, BARON BARON VON BARON OF THE BARON BARONNY would like to purchase that there milk you have on the window or perform an appropriate task for it!"

You successfully sneak up to the window and yell your offer. The alchemist jumps, but doesn't respond yet.

Make the toxin and anti-toxin. You know, for reasons.

You work busily on your poisons and potions. You've almost made a major breakthrough, and lean in to focus more intently. At that moment, some guy suddenly appears in your window and yells "I, BARON BARON VON BARON OF THE BARON BARONNY would like to purchase that there milk you have on the window or perform an appropriate task for it!" The sudden surprise causes you to twitch and ruin that mixture. At least you have doses of regular spider venom and antitoxin.

Aaron commands the Mug to stop its chanting and it goes silent. Possibly because of the divine command, or maybe it just ran out of power at that moment. In any event, the power boost from its chanting vanishes. Anna goes for the kill with her shotgun, but her doppleganger knocks the weapon aside. The sparks and blasts of the colliding ripper and ballistic fist make for a terrifying lightshow. The evil adventurers ultimately surround and slay their opponents. They begin dragging the bodies away to present them before Caesar-ATHATH. The dragons continue their dogfight after their collision. After rapid-fire exchanges of claws and fire, Aaron kicks the feral dragon through a building that then collapses atop it. The other dragon bursts through the rubble with a defiant roar.

The cow looks on with mild envy as the brahmin drinks from a puddle with one head and grazes with the other.

Forage for wild berries, nuts, or even small animals. Cook them and eat them. Climb the hill to see how the town is doing.

You take to the wilderness with a primeval fire in your spirit. You swing on vines, fashion spears, and hunt for prey. As a great elk roasts over your campfire, you attempt to look for home. You find you can't actually remember where Moorsburg was.

You create the permanent portal to the mortal realm from the champagne dimension and step through. However, it's a portal to a dimension that's effectively an ocean. You get blasted from behind by the enormous flood of champagne following you.The local valley floods around you and batters you wildly. You throw Mug Dimension portals around at random in hopes of escape. Eventually one of the new portals hits the champagne portal and closes them both. You're left hanging at the top of a damaged tree over your new lake.

You are Bothadtam the sentient armor. You decide to find a friend. You wander around the gloomy castle in which you presently find yourself and hear some loud noises.

You send the noisy interloper off on a hunt for some useful ingredients and get back to your work. You immediately realize that the missing ingredient standing between your potions and a masterpiece was insane yelling. You quickly put corks in the bottles as smoke starts to leak out. You now have sets of spider venom and antitoxin that works as gas grenades.

You go looking for the ingredients. You don't find any of the items that the alchemist wanted. You do encounter a dead troll being eaten by grubs, a charred house with arachnid legs, and a grove of 50 irrelevant foxglove plants.

mission complete.  kick Lord Saxon so he falls out of the balcony. I doubt that would kill him but it would at least buy a few seconds.

2+1 vs 2
(Dogs)
6+1 vs 6-1

Lord Saxon's hounds charge you and you cut them down with your new sword. Lord Saxon becomes corporeal to yell at you and you knock him over the balcony. He tries to turn into smoke, but isn't fast enough. He hits the ground with a thud before slowly beginning to float back up. A friendly-looking suit of armor wanders into the room from behind you.

"FUCC. WELL, TIME TO DESTROY THE SUN."

Turn the sun into a FUCKING COLD HUNK OF TUNGSTEN FLOATING IN SPACE. Yes, I am fully aware of the apocalyptic consequences here.
3+1 vs 5
I need to save the sun, ok, I'm a luxturgist, this shouldn't be to hard.

"NO SUN IS MORE FUN."
Be this known, oh wicked goat man
The sun will still shine on this land
For if you wish for life to end
Then to another world, you I shall send.

"OH, WE'RE SINGING NOW. OR WAS THAT POETRY? FUCKIN' SLAANESH AND THEIR ARTISTS. ANYWAY, I'M DEFINITELY DESTROYING THE SUN NOW."

Oh, I won't stop you with that.

Rename ATHATH to be "the sun."
Resist. If that fails, just rename myself back immediately afterwards.

"FUCC. WELL, TIME TO DESTROY THE SUN."

Annoyed at his failure to corrupt the Sun, Goatsby resolves to destroy it. ATHATH helps, of course. Adam tries to redirect the spell into ATHATH with a bit of nominative redirection that ATHATH successfully resists. ATHATH sends a bit of psychic aid to Goatsby, which is enough to complete the task. Or at least it would be if the disturbance hadn't been enough to finally wake up the Sun. The Sun, almost visibly, rotates in the sky after shrugging off the puny goat human magic. Everyone in the world hears a booming telepathic voice in their minds.

"ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP SCUMBAGS! WHEN I STARTED OUT HERE, THINGS WERE GOOD AND QUIET. AFTER A WHILE,  PLANET 3 SHOWED UP. IT WAS GOOD AND QUIET. THEN YOU ORGANIC FREAKS STARTED SQUIRMING AROUND. I PUT UP WITH IT WHEN THOSE CREEPY PLANTS STARTED HOARDING MY LIGHT. KINDA STALKERY, BUT ALRIGHT. THEN THE MEAT DISASTER HAPPENED. I PUT UP WITH THAT EVEN WHEN YOU IDIOTS STARTED YELLING AND KILLING AND DEFECATING ALL THE TIME. I TOLD THE AZTECS I NEEDED SACRIFICES. WHY AREN'T YOU DOING THOSE? I LIKE IT WHEN THE GUY PULLS THE HEART OUT. ANYWAY, NOW YOU ACTUALLY WENT AND TRIED TO KILL ME?!? THAT'S THE LAST STRAW.

HERE COMES THE SUN, SCUMBAGS!!!


This seems bad.

OOC:Well, Mallos, ATHATH. You went and angered the Sun. I hope you're happy with yourselves. Apologies to Clickhole. (https://i.imgur.com/CUYMb2E.png)

I get why the sun is pissed, but why does it have to punish all of us for two dumbasses?

Harnessing the power of the sun, rip out Anti-Aaron's heart and sacrifice it in the name of Sol!
3-1 vs 5-2, 2
((Shouldn't I have gained a bonus from the chanting past turn? I specified I was going to use the power from the chant.))

Chant even louder than before to annoy both dragons who just broke my buff. Distract both of them from fighting.
4+1
Help sacrifice anti-Aaron to the sun...
1+2 vs 3-2
Break Anti-Anna's arm by elbowing it with my weapon-free arm.
Using the moment, cut her hand off, then slice her throat open with a quick Ripper swing.

4+2 vs 3
(Cows)
5

The Grail gathers its strength and begins an even louder chant than before. The cave echoes with a booming DRACON ES STULTOS! again and again as the Annas continue to duel. The good Anna breaks her counterpart's arm and slices through her wrist. The hand drops free as Anti-Anna stumbles back and trips while dodging a swing at her throat. The cloned Pip-boy slides off her arm and drops at the originals feet. The pained Vault-Boy image is visible with dotted indicators at the arm.

Elsewhere, Aaron lands and strides up to his opponent to rip his heart out for the Sun. However, the distracting noise of the Grail's chanting causes Aaron to turn his head in annoyance for a moment. The feral version takes the opportunity to grab and pummel him into the ground. Anti-Aaron picks up a lamp post, breaks off the top, and prepares to stake the original to the ground. He never gets the chance to bring it down. Adam shoots through him like a beam of light and darkness. Anti-Aaron looks blankly at a large hole through its torso for a brief moment before falling over on its side. A few cars are crushed by the impact.

Adam hands the heart to Aaron, who immediately lights it on fire and holds it up as a sacrifice. The Sun doesn't seem satisfied as it speaks to everyone in the room. "YOU EXPECT ME TO BE HAPPY WITH THAT? I JUST SAID I WANTED "HUMAN" HEARTS. YOU THINGS TRY TO MURDER ME AND NOW YOU THINK I'LL STOP BECAUSE YOU GAVE ME A BIT OF SOME LIZARD WHO WASN'T EVEN REAL. I SHOULD'VE COOKED YOU WAY BEFORE NOW!"

Anti-Anna scoots back a bit and looks nervously at her remaining allies. The Anti-Adventurers stare coldly and Caesar-ATHATH looks at her with scorn. Caesar-ATHATH then looks from her to the rest of you and gives a thumbs-down signal. Anti-Anna shows a betrayed look for a moment and then pulls a beautifully engraved pistol (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Maria) with her remaining hand. She prepares for a desperate last stand.

The cows find a bag of vegetables.

"Gah! Why do you repel, Mug Dimension! I am a mug demon! It is in your nature to accept me!"

Okay. Time to do research. Acquire the Mugonomicon.

1

You teleport to the Imperial Library of Constantinople (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Library_of_Constantinople) to see if you can find their copy of the Mugonomicon. You get there and cast a quick illusion spell to avoid having to deal with annoying guards. When you get inside and ask the scholars, they inform you that a cloaked traveler showed up just a short time ago and purchased t.

The Mug Dimension strikes again.

SNAP OUT OF IT! YOU WERE JUST USING YOUR SKILLS GLEANED FROM SCOUTS, YOU DON'T NEED TO BECOME TARZAN! If you did become some kind of forest dweller, you'd be more like a crazy old hermit, anyway, this goes against your character traits.

You've seen a lot of weird things in your time. You saw Genericville's downfall. You've seen the world threatened by giant beverages no less than three times. You saw Underworld get four sequels for some reason, seriously. But now the Sun is threatening to murder everyone. You think that's a good signal that you need to get somewhere safer. You use the auxiliary controls and summon the time machine. It appears before you. Hopping in, you set the controls. The future's obviously not a safe choice given the possibility of imminent apocalypse, but you've got the entire rest of history to live out your life in. The time machine flashes and you disappear to unknown eons.

Cormac/Shaun O'Brian has retired.

It is time!

Use my super-pure milk in a ritual to trap the sun.

5, 1+2 vs 6

It would stretch the bounds of most minds to think you specifically had prepared a contingency plan to defeat the Sun if it ever revealed sentience and tried to wipe out life as we know it. However, most minds are not those of 16th level wizards. You prepare the ritual and cast it. All your preparations go as well as you could hope, but ultimately the Sun simply succeeds on its Will save. "I'LL GET TO YOU IN A MINUTE, FOOL. JUST GOT TO DEAL WITH A BETTER MAGE FIRST."

As I've already promised away my other vial of milk, I should probably make plans to find some more somewhere.
Clean up my equipment and try again to find someone willing to come with me on a quest. Failing that, buy myself some light armor.

2, 3+1

Everyone you find is too busy with horrified prayers and/or hiding from the Sun to help you at the moment. You decide to buy some armor instead. You head back to the shop where you acquired your sword. The owner is distracted with trying to round up and sacrifice goats, but the extra money you offer is enough to get him to take a moment and toss you a set of brigandine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigandine) armor.


...meanwhile, in Hell, Demon officers and some search hellhounds are looking for anyone trying to escape.
3 to find 0rca, 2+1 vs 3 on stopping him.
>Dig out of hell with a spoon
5

Sheol. The Lake of Fire. The Nine Circles. Hades. Hell. As you toil for eternity, you almost break down enough to admit that maybe you shouldn't have stolen that milk. For your personal punishment, you're forced to work as a scribe in an enormous library, forever copying the works of the great literary masters in their exact hand. When you fail, you're ripped apart and put back together. When you succeed, your work is immediately ground up into soup and fed to a pig demon. Eventually, you decide you've had enough. While the pig is focused on slurping and puking up the works of ancient Chinese poets, you climb up on a ladder and "accidentally" drop an enormous copy of the Mugonomicon on its head. The skull is flattened by the impact. You grab its spoon and start digging through the brimstone walls. After a timeless while, you hear demon guards rushing up the tunnel behind you. They aren't fast enough to stop you.

You break through the surface of the ground and behold daylight once again. You take a moment to realize you're floating and invisible in a pauper's graveyard. Directly beneath you is an undisturbed, but fresh grave marked only with a cross made of sticks. You sense the demons approaching rapidly to your location.

You still have the spoon.

((Thought I had edited my action sorry))
Go search through the charred spider house

3

You step gingerly past a decapitated woman in a black robe outside the ruin and head inside. The interior is ruined by fire, but looks mostly like a largish hovel of the sort favored by commoners. I say "mostly" because there's a giant heart hanging from the ceiling in the center. It does not beat. There's not much of use to find in here. Most of the valuables have been carried away, and recent goblinish paintings line the walls. You find a ritual dagger hidden under a scorched book of spells. It has a wavy blade and a pentagram symbol on the pommel. Perhaps that could be used for something.

tell the armor about my quest to find a sword for a pseudo-king.
If it wants to help give it one of the swords.

3
I would like to help. Helping is nice.

I would like to scold spooky-floaty man and tell him that he isn't being very nice. If he keeps being mean, I would like to kick him.

1, 6 vs 1-1

Ziizo and the armor quickly deal with introductions as Lord Saxon approaches. Ziizo kicks his sword over to Bothadtam, but the armor ignores it. Bothadtam tries to calmly explain to Lord Saxon that being angry is no excuse to hurt others. Lord Saxon laughs mockingly, extends claws, and leaps at Bothadtam. The armor puts a boot through his chest in response. Lord Saxon is instantly reduced to a pile of dust.


"Where is this voice coming from, I know its not god so it must be some form of milk demon, it must be close by and I must vanquish it."
Grab the brick and hurry further in to the catacombs and find and destroy all of these demons and cultists.

1, 5+1 vs 6
(Arm vs Imitation Serpent)
6 vs 3

You get the brick and venture on. Occasionally stopping to bash an inattentive cultist's head in, you descend to the heart of the catacombs. You hear a few youthful voices arguing here. A band of initiates stands next to a summoning circle. One of them is already dead and the others pace about madly. Your sword is lying ignored in a nearby bin. One of them spots you and shouts a warning to his comrades. An imitation of a milk serpent like the ones you saw with Goatsby appears and charges you. You prevent a bite by using your brick as a shield. The Arm uses the opportunity to land a gut punch.

"PUNY? PUNY?! HOW DARE YOU CALL MY MAGIC PUNY."

Using my tower in the schizo-realm as a point of focus, launch a massive magic missile-nay, a magic NUKE- at the Sun.

4+1 vs 5

Let it never be said you never did anything positive for this world. You summon up all the power of things that should not be and imagine a weapon that will not exist for centuries. A sleek Minuteman missile appears as a crackling outline in your hands. You hurl it like a javelin at the Sun. You imagine the impact would have been enough to wipe out a city. It doesn't kill the Sun though. It gets brighter in the sky as you feel the heat suddenly rising around you.

Sun Action:Destroy Madness Zone.

3 vs 2

The Sun decides that Goatsby is the biggest threat at the moment. It takes particular notice of his personal landscape's power. The Sun focuses its rays there. The Madness Zone immediately begins to suffer under the heat. Plants creak, blacken at the edges, and scream. Many of the creatures eject their organs and crawl around as empty skin to save water. Anything squirrel-based turns instantly to stone.

Send this out to all the world, using telepathy.

Hello people of Earth, I am Adam Simons, also known as Nephilim. I am the Earth's guardian. As many of you are likely aware, the sun is trying to kill us now. You may be panicking, praying, or spending your supposed last moments doing whatever you wanted to do most in life, truly, your choice is your own. However, I stand here now telling you there is another way. The Earth has been under a threat like this many times before, and it will be many times after. It has always been stopped, and it will always be stopped, but I need your help. Like any other deity, I need your belief. Please, give that to me, simply beleive in me, and I swear I will do my best to save you. I am Nephilim, lord of light and darkness, good and evil, human morality and the greatest thing that both divides and unifies us, and I ask only for your aid.

Everyone in the world hears this:
Quote
Hello people of Earth, I am Adam Simons, also known as Nephilim. I am the Earth's guardian. As many of you are likely aware, the sun is trying to kill us now. You may be panicking, praying, or spending your supposed last moments doing whatever you wanted to do most in life, truly, your choice is your own. However, I stand here now telling you there is another way. The Earth has been under a threat like this many times before, and it will be many times after. It has always been stopped, and it will always be stopped, but I need your help. Like any other deity, I need your belief. Please, give that to me, simply beleive in me, and I swear I will do my best to save you. I am Nephilim, lord of light and darkness, good and evil, human morality and the greatest thing that both divides and unifies us, and I ask only for your aid. Lets show this shiny assed son of a bitch that it doesn't matter if he's Apollo, Helios, Sol, Ra, or even freaking Amatarasu, this is our world, and if he doesn't like it, well then he can suck it up!

Shortly thereafter, the Sun is pulled below the horizon by giant tendrils. It's night from all player's perspective, but the Sun still exists.


. .
You’re fucking with me.
We just sacrificed a duplicate of a god, and you aren’t satisfied?!?

Go kill Caesar-ATHATH and sacrifice his heart to the sun. And then use my godly power to push the sun back upwards, away from the planet.

Continue the chanting, this time to grant bonuses to my allies again and not annoy. Dedicate the finale of the song to praising the sun.

The Grail tries to help its allies with a useful chant. However, he dedicates it to the Sun in order to placate it. The Sun decides it approves of the chant and hoards all the magic to itself. (The Sun receives +1 on all actions this round.)

Aaron decides to try and get a better sacrifice for the Sun after expressing his annoyance with the ungrateful orb. Aaron leaps at Caesar-ATHATH, who casually leaps aside. Caesar-ATHATH laughs and tosses a few bone spikes at Aaron before his head suddenly vanishes in a burst of gore. Anna had shot his head off with her shotgun. Caesar-ATHATH's head quickly begins to regenerate as he turns to go punish the Couriers.

For her part, Anna approached her doppleganger and tried to execute her. Anti-Anna predicts the move and knocks the shotgun aside. The redirected blast instead wounds and enrages Caesar-ATHATH.

The cows find their bag of vegetables to be mushy.

"RAAAAAAGH! Excuse me. I'm going to go cause the apocalypse."

Turn the sun into a giant solar DOOM MUUUUUUUG.

3 vs 2+1

You come very close to switching the Sun out for an apocalypse of your own design. However, the Sun seems to gain a burst of strength that allows it to resist the effects.

Using some sort of innate ability to commune with demons on the same plane, speak to True ATHATH the following sentence: "I THINK IT'S IN BOTH OF OUR BEST INTERESTS RIGHT NOW TO DESTROY THIS BASTARD THAT CALLS ITSELF A SOLAR BODY. CARE TO HELP WITH THIS RITUAL?"

Feeling the abominable life of the Schizo-Land, cast a ritual to grow massive heat immune tendrils from the ground to the sun. Coil them around it and hurl it at insane speeds at Jupiter, like a giant and flaming stellar bowling ball.

1+1 vs 6+1

You grab the Sun and attempt to smash it into Jupiter. The Sun offers no resistance at first, but when Jupiter approaches it wipes away the relatively tiny planet with a massive solar flare. "TO BE HONEST, I'M NOT SURE WHY YOU THOUGHT SOMETHING THAT SMALL WOULD HURT ME."


Well, at least I have some armor now, but there's apparently stuff going on with the sun?
I want to hunt more mammalian or milk producing creatures. Perhaps praying to the sun for wisdom will help in some way.
3+1, 6
take the dagger and burnt remains of the book and return to the alchemists and proudly display them

Cassandra goes hunting, somewhat confused at why everyone is suddenly worried about the Sun. She tries praying to it for wisdom on the hunt. In response, she hears a telepathic voice in her head. "YOU'RE REALLY STILL HUNTING WHILE I KILL YOU ALL OFF? WELL, I CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT MORE KILLING. HERE YOU GO." The heat in the air rises as the Sun visibly brightens. This area of the forest catches on fire. Cassandra quickly starts to come across animals killed by the inferno.

And then Baron Von Baron shows up in the midst of all this to proudly display a damaged spellbook and an athame (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athame) that he found.

Send this out to all the world, using telepathy.

Unfortunately, the Sun is an elemental rather than a humanoid. Thus, it's immune to Dominate Person.

The armor and the adventurer do a high five so epic that ancient dust is blown away by the shockwave. Also, both of them suffer mild injuries to their arms from the impact. Ziizo tries to find out if he'll be able to get out through the window rather than fight the unknown monster. Not only is the window too high for a safe exit, both Ziizo and Bothadtam hear the door to the lower levels suddenly crack open.

"All the demon voices filling my mind with lies, I must destroy them.

5+1 vs 2-1, 2+1 vs 6-1
(Arm vs cultists)
4 vs 6-1

Harold mutters to himself about the recent telepathic messages. "All the demon voices filling my mind with lies, I must destroy them." At this, his friend the Arm rises up and forms a mouth shape with its fingers. Adam speaks through it. "Most things aren't milk demons." " "The arm my only ally finally speaks, it must be referring to the regular demons and heretics, worry not arm we shall destroy them all." "The message that just went through your head and sounds like me was not a milk demon. The sun is trying to fry the Earth." "The demons and heretics have angered the sun, and doomed us all, we must hurry and defeat the cultists and destroy there demon masters."

With that, Harold leaps into battle. A brick to the face finishes the serpent. The cultists run desperately around the room and manage to evade the holy warriors. "Wait, wait! We don't want to fight you! You're the Dread Priest! The Master isn't even here, why are you doing this!?!"


>Continue digging out of hell, and while I'm at it, Summon the Greytide to overrun the Hell Police with extremely robust toolboxes.
(You already escaped Hell. You're a ghost now, hovering over your own gravestone in the living world.)
3, 6-1 vs 6

You summon a horde of assistants in grey jumpsuits and send them down the tunnel to Hell. Once there, they steal things, break into secure areas, and generally make an utter nuisance of themselves. In response, the demons kill them all. At first, nothing seems to change as every single one of their souls remains where it was. The demons eventually capture them by putting a delicate project inside a large temple and then barricading them in.

2 vs 1+1

You are Fanfnír the hero. You issue a challenge to the suddenly villainous Sun, demanding it resume its place in the natural order. It laughs at you. This foe will require all your strength to defeat. You don't hold any back. You leap through space, preparing to smash the Sun now and figure out what will heat the Earth later. Just before impact, giant tentacles swing the Sun out of your path and cause you to miss.

BE ALL SAD 'N' SHIT ABOUT THE BEARS.

THEN SEE IF I CAN SALVAGE ANY BUILDING MATERIALS FROM THE GIANT MUG THAT SQUISHED THEM. IF NOT, SEE IF I CAN FIND AN AXE OR OTHER SUITABLE TOOL WITH WHICH TO FELL SOME TREES.
   

5,2,3

You display the appropriate amount of sadness regarding the bears. A single tear falls from your eye upon the corpse of the greatest bear. The sky suddenly darkens and a single chord from a blackened ukulele sounds in the air. The bears rise up from their graves out of loyalty to you. You now have a pack of zombie bears.

Anyway you don't find enough giant mug parts to build anything big. You do see a particular shard that looks sharp enough to make into an axe. Tying it to a branch creates a serviceable tool, but you don't know how long it will last.

Sun Action:Destroy Madness Zone

2+1 vs 5-1

The Sun attempts to finish off the Madness Zone. It continues to cook, but the land sprouts a bunch of fresh cookies from the ground instead of being destroyed.

OOC:I love writing about Mallos' insane landscape. Also, I promise I'm not cheating in the Sun's favor*. It just keeps rolling well.

You pick up your trusty sword and get to work smashing up all the evil equipment in here as the ex-cultists cower in the corner.

Bothadtam and Ziizo prepare for battle.

It looks like a woman in a wedding dress with long hair over her face. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StringyHairedGhostGirl)

The Grail summons a tide of crusaders to overwhelm the anti-adventurers. The ghosts eventually prove to be too much for them and knock them out. However, the Grail is temporarily rendered unconscious by the effort.

Meanwhile, Caesar-ATHATH marches toward Aaron and Anna. He clenches his hands into fists and begins to throw a punch. It's the last move he ever makes. Aaron jumps him, grabs his ankle, and starts slamming him into the ground over and over while Anna chains explosive headshots. When they're done, Aaron drops the corpse-wreckage to the ground. The testing environment then freezes up. Dust hangs in the air, Anti-Anna locks up with her finger on her pistol's trigger, and your cow looks confused when the brahmin suddenly stops eating mushy vegetables. Only you and Caesar-ATHATH's corpse move. He speaks. "Well...done. Perhaps...your ways were superior...after all. You...will earn the Unholy Pail...or nobody will. Here..." At this, he points to Anna's Pip-Boy. It dings with an updated map marker. "You will find the Pail...at the ruins...of Castle Adjilia." Caesar-ATHATH then crumbles to dust, along with the evil twins, the bodies of your adventurers, and finally the city itself.

You're now standing in an empty cavern, with the only sound being the mournful mooing of the cow. The exit is before you.

>Possess the corpse of a dead greytider on the surface before healing my newer, more robust self up.

5

You take over a dead Greytider. Aside from some minor decay, the vessel requires remarkably little healing to get operational. Apparently he just died of an unrelated heart attack before the raid on Hell.

Eat one of the cookies. Then, bolster my land with anti-sun enchantments.

2, 4

You try to eat a cookie, but you find the material to be too spongy to actually chew. You spit it out and put up defenses. The Sun doesn't test them at this time.

"That's it. That's it! I must have the Mugonomicon!"

Summoning ritual: summon the Mugonomicon to me.

3

You reach out and call forth the Mugonomicon. A pentagram of milk appears in the air before filling out into a portal. The Mugonomicon flies out, propelled by an invisible force. It whaps you over the head a few times before vanishing through another portal. You sense the Mug Dimension laughing at you.

"Was that the knife? Neat!"
(No action)

She distractedly confirms that is what the knife is, but seems distracted by the forest fire all around you.

Cast Charm Monster at the sun. An elemental is, in fact, a monster.

You cast your spell. For a minute there, it actually works. "OH HEY, BEST FRIEND! JUST EXTERMINATING ALL LIFE ON PLANET 3. WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE, YOU'RE TOO COOL FOR THAT PLACE. HOW ABOUT THIS, I'LL GROW YOU A NEW PLANET WHEN I'M DONE, BEST FRIEND! IT MAY TAKE A WHILE THOUGH, ARE YOU COOL WITH MICROBES? THOSE ARE WAY EASIER. ANYWAY, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND. I'M GONNA BURN YOUR NAME ONTO THIS ROCK, SO EVERYBODY DOWN THERE KNOWS YOUR NAME."

At this, the Sun begins using its light to scorch your name into the Moon.

"WOW, THIS IS FUN. LIKE I SAID, I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE FRIENDS. IN FACT...IT SEEMS REALLY UNLIKELY...HEY! WHAT DID YOU DO!"

The Sun breaks your spell before it finishes your name. The Moon now just bears the inscription "VAA"

Well, you know what they say "when all else fails... fuck it."
Use the power of belief to make myself the new sun god and then use my powers to order the sun back into it's rightful place and to stop attacking Earth.

You summon up the might of everyone's belief and ascend to the role of the sun god. You look much the same, but glowing from the inside and have eyes made of fire. You approach the Sun while it's busy writing something on the Moon. You shove it back from its approach and demand it stop trying to harm the Earth. "NO CAN DO, SHINY. ONE OF YOUR PETS JUST TRIED TO MESS WITH MY MIND. I HAVE TO KILL HIS FAMILY NOW, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS."

Climb the tallest building, and survey the chaos below and above. Destroy the ones who have started this conlict, and get all else as far away as possible.
(I couldn't do the second part of the action, I need more specific targets than that as the GM. You've all been interacting with each other, so it's hard to go through all the various butterfly effects and point to exactly who's at fault and who isn't. I mean, technically you started it as Shaun by stealing Moorsburg's milk. Or maybe Mallos started it, by summoning ATHATH and angering the Sun. Or maybe ATHATH is responsible, since his assisting of Mallos is what caused the Sun to get angry, if "this conflict" means the Sun issue. ATHATH could also be responsible for causing you to time travel back here because he threatened the world in the first game. But you were only able to do that because SM didn't let ATHATH Doom Mug the original timeline, so maybe it's SM's fault. You see what I mean? Also, "all else" is broadly defined.)
5

You alight atop the Great Pyramid of Giza and sense the conflict's nature to better judge it's participants. As you know, the Sun is angry. Most of the opposition to it is coming from an elf wizard, an angel/demon hybrid who just became the new sun god, and the evil sorcerer who originally offended it. Many other small conflicts are going on, but nothing immediately threatening to the Earth.

Sun action:Burn Vaarsuvius' name into the Moon.

The Sun is briefly confused into stopping its attack on the Madness Zone by Vaarsuvius. It quickly breaks the spell, but not before using heat rays to write VAA on the Moon.

You display the appropriate amount of sadness regarding the bears. A single tear falls from your eye upon the corpse of the greatest bear. The sky suddenly darkens and a single chord from a blackened ukulele sounds in the air. The bears rise up from their graves out of loyalty to you. You now have a pack of zombie bears.

Turn 24

Cast a horrible face melting curse on the cowardly traitors in my cult. Attempt to bolster my realm even further.

3,4

You detect betrayal from some of your followers and issue the only punishment such a crime can have. You're a little distracted at the moment, so you aren't able to really make it fancy. You sense the traitors faces simply fall off, followed by their heads. You then return to the more important work of protecting your dominion. Clouds roll overhead, their tendrils desperately grasping for prey as you force them together. Your realm is thoroughly protected now. The only way the Sun could hurt it is by destroying the rest of the planet around it.

"Get out of here and give up your evil ways and I'll spare you, if you don't I'll destroy you."
Look at all of the equipment I haven't destroyed to see if I can use it to find out where Goatsby is currently.

3

You command the cultists to turn over a new leaf. Their response is best described as...ambiguous. Their faces fall off and then their heads. Moving on, you try to find Goatsby. You don't quite have the occult experience to make sense of it all, but you determine that Goatsby is roughly on the other side of the world.

"Wait a second is a Martheus?"

Distract the woman for a second via pointing her dress and naming an dead famous tailor. Use that second to double stab her.

4, 6+2 vs 5

The woman slowly walks toward you, but stops to consider your question. "Actually, yes...I got it from my-" While she's distracted, you dart in for a pair of quick stabs to the gut with your double swords. She shrieks in rage and the shadow pours forth toward you. It bypasses the impressively shiny armor.

Continue polishing, blissfully unaware of the presence behind me. I must achieve radiance.

3+1 for previous success

You polish yourself to radiant glory. Your plates are now bright enough to be the pride of any noble tourney. The question of course strikes you-Could you be even shinier? Could you be the one to uncover yet undiscovered heights of radiance that have never before been seen in this world?

"Okay, guys. Our next destination is Castle Adjilia. I'll lead the way!"

Lead the way, try to avoid bandits and other hazards.
5+1
Help by providing light, protection and healing magic in the way
6
Alright, let’s get going! If any bandits or similar annoyances try to attack us along the way, make it their last mistake.
3

The party sets forth, now certain of their destination. Anna leads the way and the Pail's magic helps the party past certain natural obstacles. The light and chanting of the mug attracts bandits at one point, but Aaron eagerly stomps through them. It's not their last mistake. Some are just severely injured and live on. They use their new lease on life to abandon banditry and find legitimate work. However, they accidentally waste all their gold on dubious real estate purchases.

Anna leads the group across a log bridge and over a hill to see Castle Adjilia below. The sky is red and crackling with lightning here. An unholy light glows from the keep. The ground outside is littered with the remains of endless battle. You approach from behind the attacking lines. One of the invaders is leaning against a tree in exhaustion. When you get close, you realize he's a skeleton, with flames emerging from within his armor. In fact, everyone you can see is cursed with such a form. They seems much more sentient than the others you've encountered. The soldier notices your approach with relief.

"You! You're...Uncursed! How did you find this place? This is Castle Adjilia, the place of our torment. Once, long ago, we fought a war here. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163632.0) It was for something...foolish, I think. It's been so long. The defenders were throwing such strange defenders at us. We hit them back, too. We had...a weapon, of some sort. Everything changed when the Unholy Pail arrived. One of the defenders called the thing. It certainly kept them from losing. It cursed us. Every day, we go to war again. We march, they man the walls, and the battle goes on until the Pail is summoned and it all starts again. We cannot break the cycle. But you, perhaps you could save us? Either join us, or fight for them. No matter which you choose, the siege must be broken before the Pail returns or you will be trapped with us. I beg you, please, save us! SAVE US!"

After his longwinded speech, the soldier runs screaming into the battlefield and is torn to pieces by a similarly undead elk.

Run away from the forest fire back to the alchemy hut, leave the athame and take the probably milk and run off back to the village.

5

You deftly escape the flames and leap in a graceful roll through the alchemist's window. You toss the athame into a prominent location for display and snatch up the spider milk with your other hand. You don't spill any as you flip through the opposite window and slide down a hill into the village and land in a cool pose that causes a flock of doves to fly away around you.

(Thanks, I appreciate hearing that. Things like that are what make these games worth running.)
3

The porcelain axe snaps as you do it, but you do successfully knock over a small tree. You also consider seeing if your bears fit into the wagon. It occurs to you that they were originally circus bears as you turn around to find them already arranged into a neat pyramid in the back of the wagon.

Cast Stone to Flesh on the Moon, in hopes that it will fight back against the Sun.

3

You target the Moon with Stone to Flesh. For a little over a second, you don't see any change. Then, it warps into a hideous mass of living flesh. A giant mouth and blinking eyes form over the usual Man in the Moon image. It looks down at you as you try to explain the war against the Sun.

"I don't know, man. I'm not really into violence, you know? It's not cool what the Sun's doing to you, but I can't see why I have the right to tell it how to live."

A ray of heat and flame then lances out at you from the Sun. You barely manage to Shapechange into a fire elemental, saving yourself from incineration. The blast still hurts and shoves you into the ground.

There don't seem to be any full toolboxes around, but whoever buried you left his shovel and the hammer used to nail your grave marker together. You take them.

(I am indeed taking new players. Also, KANE LIVES.)

6

You are William, of the Brotherhood of Nod. The Prophet has ordered you to go and acquire milk. You take up your sword and head out. The first possible location you find is a farm with several cows milling about. It doesn't look like the people who run this place intend to give it up easily. Wooden stakes face outward in all directions, a crude moat has been dug, and pit traps can be seen to dot the area. On the farthest outskirts, you see skeletons wearing signs commanding all outsiders to "LEAVE OR BE SHOT". Each sign is written in English, French, German, Arabic, and Chinese.

"This absurdity shall not continue!"

Use mug demon powers to punch Luck in the face and mug them for control of my die rolls.

(No roll, due to potentially unexpected complication. If you still want to do this, I'll give you an updated turn.)
*(Later edit, he decided to try and go through with it. Rolling to find Aaron.)

You consider punching out Luck and taking its lunch money, but then you sense a presence that might cause you to reconsider. Aaron Blaze,  the god of luck, will likely put up a major fight to defend his domain. You'll have to take him down to get to Luck. Do you want to do this anyway?

4

You decide to do it. You use the powers of a mug demon to sense the location of the guardian you must defeat and teleport to him. You find yourself above a corrupted battlefield near a castle.

Hold on, if I can use the power of belief to become god of the sun, then that means...
I have to try this.

Order the sun to attack Goatsby instead and then, use the power of belief to become god of MILK!

1+1, 6

You try commanding the Sun to go after Goatsby. "Yes, master...NO! No, I don't want to! I think I'll kill the elf now." The Sun then ignores you and launches a micro-solar flare at some point on Earth. Being the sun god hasn't been very helpful so far. You decide to change up your domain. The people's faith doesn't help you here. They believed in you in the hopes you would save them, and this doesn't have much to do with that. Your subconscious is thus forced to come up with the milk deity form on its own. It goes too far. You briefly lose awareness. When you come back, you sense flames around you. You also realize your limbs are gone, and your skin is hard and cold. You're also a lot bigger than before. Then the terrible truth hits. You've become a Doom Mug powered by divinity. Your consciousnesses rebel at the thought, but their shared body is currently hurtling toward the Earth. Someone flies up and punches you, which slows your momentum somewhat.

(You can still think and try to take actions to stop this, your mind is just trapped inside the Doom Mug.)

[Fair enough.]
Wait and watch. If anyone starts dooming the world, beat them until they die. Thos conflict may work itself out, then I can go back to my wandering.

6 vs 1

Another Doom Mug appears in the sky. That seems like a big enough threat to warrant your attention. You fly up and give it a good warmup punch. The thing is cracked and slowed, but still oncoming. Strange that you didn't sense any ATHATHs involved with this one.

Sun Action:Attack Vaarsuvius

4 vs 2

Narrowly managing to ignore Adam's authority, the Sun decides to go nuke the fleshling that annoyed it before. The creature survives with injuries.

You mess around with the equipment while trying to figure out how to get at your nemesis. Yet another telepathic message sounds in your skull. "COME, MY NEMESIS. COME FACE ME IN MY DIMENSION OF DEMENTIA." After that, you sense in the back of your mind how the equipment works. Using a tuning fork and a bit of the leftover blood on the floor to work with the burnt summoning circle on the floor, you open a portal. It looks like a flaming blue oval in the air, and the destination isn't visible.

"COME, MY NEMESIS. COME FACE ME IN MY DIMENSION OF DEMENTIA."

taunt The Priest with this message, inviting him to my Domain for a battle to the death.


6

You send the telepathic message. You didn't intend it, but a bit of your own knowledge of occult magics is subconsciously sent over with it to help The Priest get to you quicker. Your Serpents look to you for orders as a portal soon appears in the air.

Let's start gathering the undead warriors and blessing them with holy strenght, making them stronger and tougher.

The Mug tries to bless the defenders, but the corruption here twists his magic. Rather than help the undead, his blessing disables a set of clockwork crossbowmen on the towers. Anna gives some assistance to Aaron as the dragon god defends himself and signals his good intentions to the defenders. This effort distracts her enough that she wastes the last of her explosive bullets on a missed attack against Mug-ATHATH. Aaron gets his allies into the castle, then flies up and tries to fight Mug-ATHATH. Mug-ATHATH is left with superficial battle damage, but still manages to get away and attempt to cast a spell. Having avoiding all these efforts to stop him, Mug-ATHATH is able to call for a Doom Mug. By sheer dumb luck, his magic fails anyway.

Meanwhile, the battle goes on. Despite the setback with their clockwork guards, the defenders get the upper hand in the first steps of the altered battle.

EP, I didn't mean to change domains, I meant to become the milk god as well as the sun god.

Transform back into my normal form.

Now I need to stop myself, stop the Sun, fix the moon and save castle Adjilia! Damn it people, you are adding too much to my to do list!

Am I still god of the Sun?

2+1

You start trying to transform back to normal. You feel a solid hit punch a noticable hole in your side as you struggle. You briefly flicker between Mug and Nephillim shapes. The effort slows your descent, but the struggle comes down on the Mug's side for now. +1 turn to impact.

DESTROY THE DOOM MUG. DESTROY IT USING ALL OF THE POWERS IN ME INVESTED BY THE EARTH AND SKY FOREVER.

2 vs 1-1

You throw rapid punches to weaken a single point and then punch away the targeted piece of the Mug. It flies back and starts to transform back and forth between the original Mug and a humanoid man for a few moments and then returns to Mug shape. +1 turn to impact.

You could likely destroy the Doom Mug with a followup blow, if you so choose. On the other hand, something unusual is clearly going on.

"I, BARON BARON VON BARON declare that I am most awesome!
Go to the tavern and brag about adventure while chugging the spider milk.

5

You march into the tavern. People have barged in here and taken over since the owner left and all the apocalyptic chaos started. You successfully grab everyone's attention with tales of BARONLY GLORY. You do so well you're even able to convince yourself that your beverage tastes like actual milk.

"Hmm, that's no good. I'll take note of this farm, but I fear they will not cooperate without a significant amount of brothers in Kane to assist me. Perhaps another farm is more hospitable."

Take note of this place and it's traps a later date and set out for another farm with goats or cows.

2

You mark down the farm and search for another one. It doesn't go well. As far as you can tell, there aren't any other farms in this area.

Cast Suggestion on the Moon. "Attack the Sun. Now."

5 vs 6

"UUNNGGH, KILL SUN. KIL-l Su-nn...No. No way man. That wasn't cool. Why would you try and mess with me like that?"

You almost succeed, but the Moon barely manages to shake off the spell. The Sun then bombards you with more heat rays, slicing at the ground around you and battering you with collateral damage. The Sun then contacts you while you're weakened.

"You things really don't know your place, do you? I want you to know, after I finish with you, I'm going to burn everything you ever cared about to cosmic dust. Goodbye."

"I have a plan. Armor polish harder your shine will be our weapon of victory"

Parry the darkness.
1+1 vs 3-1
I must achieve radiance that surpasses that of the sun! Continue polishing, still blissfully unaware.
4+2 for previous successes

Ziizo clashes with the Darkness as the woman directs it with hand gestures. Neither side makes much progress.

Bothadtam continues to grow ever shinier. HE IS BEYOND SHINY NOW. SO SHINY THAT THERE ARE NO NON-MAGIC SHADOWS IN THE ROOM. HE IS IN FACT THE SHINIEST OBJECT IN THE WORLD. WILL HE RISK EVEN FURTHER SHINY???

(sorry i missed a bunch again)
I will keep my end of the bargain. "Thank you. The milk should still be on my windowsill."
Take the book and athame for later study. Loot nearby animal corpses for valuable resources. Thank the sun, and remain otherwise neutral in regards to the ongoing conflict.
(No problem.)
3

You take Baron Von Baron's gifts and take some samples of hide and bone from the animals after properly thanking the Sun. However, the milk was ruined by their fiery demise.

Name: Dr. Florence Bedlam
Description: A young woman from England who appeared to had been cut into pieces and sewn back together before being reanimated, Florence is an aspiring mad scientist who uses her extensive knowledge of human (and non-human) anatomy, a wide variety of surgical tools, and dark energies to create grotesque reanimated horrors that functioned as servants and killing machines. Florence wears a white knee-high gown with a red riding cloak.
Why do you want milk?: Because whether masquerading as a helpful physician to lure in victims volunteers for her experiments or plotting the downfall of someone who'd trifled with her, even a villain wants to live up to her self-applied moniker of 'Milk Addict' by drinking as much of the sweet white nectar as she can.

Search the village for a glass of milk (and perhaps a potential 'volunteer' or two).

6

There's no milk in the village, so you go looking for a potential victim helper. You check near the woods, and just manage to jump aside when a fellow mad scientist rolls up in a clockwork wagon that contains a small tree being used as a seat and a stoic pyramid of zombie bears arranged on the back.

Spoiler: Florence Beldam (click to show/hide)
((WE SHOULD TEAM UP! AS THE SAYING GOES, TWO MAD SCIENTISTS ARE BETTER THAN ONE. ALSO I HAVE DOPE SECRET LAIR AND AWESOME STEAM ENGINE/TANK-THINGY FILLED WITH ZOMBIE BEARS!))   


IF IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL SAFELY FIT, LOAD TREE INTO/ONTO WAGON ALONGSIDE BEARS

THEN GET IN AND DRIVE STEAM WAGON BACK TO MY BASE. PREFERABLY WITHOUT SMASHING THROUGH VILLAGE AGAIN BUT I DON'T MIND TOO MUCH, REALLY
   

((FINGERS CROSSED THIS DOESN'T END BADLY O-O;))   

6-1 for wagon randomness

You go clattering through the woods on your way home, sitting on the tree. The axe snaps and falls apart in your grip when you hit a bump. The bears respond to you holding what looks a bit like a conductor's baton by emitting a synchronized choir of roars. You encounter a woman on the way to your base. From the look in her eye, you guess she's a fellow mad scientist.


>Grab an actual, robust toolbox before putting the tools I picked up in it.

1

There still aren't any toolboxes around. While you're searching for one, you hear a howl of wind and screams. You turn around to see the first of the hunter demons appearing above your grave.

Sun Action:Attack Vaarsuvius.
2 vs 1-1

The Sun continues getting attacking V. It wounds him severely, but stops to gloat rather than strike a finishing blow.

You pick a table, lift it over your head, and hurl it through the portal. You step back to await a trap. When nothing happens, you prepare to walk through. Goatsby then lunges out of the portal with his serpents wrapped around him and his hands crackling with deadly magic. He looks a bit confused.

The serpents provide a spiraling armor against physical attacks, and Dementia wards you against magic. You then prepare to finally finish off that crazed priest. You spot movement through the portal and pounce. You utterly annihilate an unfortunate table and find yourself accidentally on the other side of the portal. Harold is standing in front of you with a severed arm following him and a holy sword in his grip. You sense that Dementia can't help you on this side.

Fafnir summons up all his power for a final blow. He draws up energy from the Earth, brings both palms together, and unleashes it all in an enormous blast. Doom Mug Adam starts to blacken and burn away in the beam. Before it can be destroyed, Adam briefly manages to flash back to his true self. Diablo makes the feelings of all three minds known and then megaton punches Fafnir away.

Fafnir rockets down through the atmosphere, impacting a shooting star on his way. He sees another Mug creature on the ground for a brief moment before apparently smacking it out of reality by landing on it. Fafnir stands up and sees the Doom Mug still endangering the Earth above.

>Look again for a toolbox so I can put my newly obtained tools in it, and look for insulated gloves which I'm definitely not using for engineering purposes 100% of the time.

You look around more carefully, but there continues to be no other tools or toolboxes here. The demon looks confused and vaguely offended at you for ignoring it. It walks up and carefully stabs you in the chest a few times with a knife, scratching its head and looking for a reaction.

Aaron and Mug-ATHATH engage in a contest of wills. It seems close, but then Fafnir the hero falls from space and his impact distracts the ATHATH. Aaron uses the moment to banish him from this plane.

Mug-ATHATH regains awareness in a dimension of floating void. Mugs of all shapes and sizes float around, accompanied by a vague yet omnipresent sense of hostility. Welcome to the Mug Dimension.

You gather up some of your brothers and approach the farm.

The farm lies beneath you, the guards still itching for an opportunity to kill intruders.

You try studying the devices. Neither makes much sense to you besides the obvious practical uses of a knife. You think the problem stems from the unusual cultural assumptions of the original owner combined with the fire damage.

You see Bothadtam growing ever shinier behind you. The woman merges with the darkness, becoming only a pair of eyes and a too-wide grin in the shadow. It all rushes toward you, but then you swipe your swords through the light of your companion. They away with the steel of the blades sheathed in white fire. The combined weapons slice through the monster, burning it all away and bursting it from within. The enemy is gone.

You decide to make a bit of artwork first before going to meet your new potential ally. First impressions are important, of course. You stalk around town a bit more. A knight stomping by without a horse seems like an appropriate target. You creep up behind him with your chloroform rag. You get behind him and wrap your arm around to dose him. Your aim is a bit off and you smack yourself in the face with the rag. Your last vision before everything goes dark is the knight whirling around and regarding you with disdain before turning away and marching off to wherever he was going.

You awake on a bed in a richly furnished mansion, with the sunlight shining serenely through the blinds. Some relatives are gathered around with concerned looks on their faces. A butler is the first to speak. "Sir, Lady Bedlam is awake!" Your father then approaches as the others watch closely. "Are you alright, my daughter? You took a nasty fall out in the gardens this morning."

You painfully pick yourself up, resume your normal form, and bare your soul in the best love poem to the Sun you can come up with on such short notice. It doesn't seem to be working, but the Moon can't bear to see love fail like this when it has the power to save it. The impact is boosted at the last minute by the rising of the flesh-moon over the horizon behind you, backing your prose with its own heartfelt song.

The Sun looks on with bemusement.

"ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS RIGHT NOW. UM. I'M KIND OF FLATTERED, I GUESS? WELL. MAYBE I COULD TAKE A CHANCE ON LOVE. IF YOU'RE WILLING TO SIDE WITH ME AGAINST THE OTHER FREAKS, I'LL GIVE THIS A TRY. JUST TO HELP YOU DECIDE QUICKER..."

You try asking the monster, but it doesn't seem to able to respond due to the explosion of light that destroys the castle at this moment. You manage to leap into a wardrobe just before the wave reaches you. When you emerge, the castle is a crater and Bothadtam is lying unharmed on his back. Your horse looks down at you from the edge of the crater.

You promptly stop increasing your shininess. However, this power proves too much to contain.

Your new friend is emerging from a wardrobe. He seems mostly fine.

Words fail to describe how epic your trek into the woods is. You march right in there, backhanding any monster, bandit, or tree that tries to get in your way.

You then rip apart a tree to fashion a bow and arrow, fire the arrow, run forward to grab onto it, and ride this arrow all the way back to the village.

Let’s go wreck some invaders!

-Query, how much health do they have? I want it in HP.
(How many...HP? Why, that's simple they, um, have...er...what's that over there!)
The GM then rolls a 6 to escape over the horizon.
5 vs 3-2

Without Mug-ATHATH's threat, the party is able to rally against the invaders. After a bombardment of sniper fire and bolts of divine retribution, the invaders are finished off by a charge from the defenders with Aaron at their head. The siege of Castle Adjila is finally broken. The defenders and attackers rise from the dust one last time when the battle ends. They get together and kneel before the party in thanks. They then fade away, leaving you alone.

The sky rumbles. A massive portal to the Elder Plane rips the fabric of reality. Through it falls a largish object. The blackened tin and ominous handle are unmistakable. This can be none other than the Unholy Pail. Dark power gathers around it as it prepares to crush you for daring to stand against it. Then another threat emerges.

The shooting star that's been looping around the world finally lands. It crashes into the castle gatehouse. The gates then shake and burst from the inside. A single human figure stumbles out, with smoke trailing behind him. He then points directly at the party.

"I SAID. GROGNAR. SMAAASHH!!!"

"Onwards brothers, Kane shall have his milk! First off, those with armor go at the guards head on, while those who don't sneak around and attack them from behind, and anyone unarmed should stay back until the farmers are captured. For Kane!"

Command the Nod Horde to capture the farm for Kane, and subdue the guards.
(William vs Farm)
1 vs 4
(Horde vs Farm)
1 vs 3

Together, the Nod troops storm the base with their faction's distinctive mix of stealth and the occasional bit of overwhelming force. The attack doesn't actually make much progress this time. When the farmers spot the invaders, they knock down a false windmill. Inside is a ramshackle wooden construction of two false legs supporting a rotating array of three incendiary alchemical cannons controlled by a pilot. The makeshift artillery forces the main Nod attack into cover.

Blinking in confusion, Florence will ask where is she. She will also ask for supplies.

3?

"Why, you're in Bedlam Manor! Where else should you be? And of course we'll get supplies for that banquet next Sunday, you need only ask."

You thank your father for his appropriate concern and the rest of the family files out after a long succession of similarly polite conversations.  You deal with each with the appropriate dignity and patience expected of a noblewoman. Certainly, you don't show any behavior that a mad scientist with disfiguring scars might find more entertaining. You would have nothing to do with such a person. You recover from your nasty accident and admire the view outside. The Sun is the same benevolent presence it always is. Underneath, your servants and villagers work diligently and with no milk-related chaos.

The banquet is of course a resounding success. There's only one flaw. You forgot to offer any milk. Nobody is much concerned and continues with the banquet. The prestige afforded by such an occasion allows your family to marry you off to the Von Baron family. This arrangement brings much wealth to both families, and you spend the rest of your days contentedly raising children before passing away without a struggle.

You suddenly wake up bolt upright. You're sitting in the mud outside Moorsburg. The Sun is screaming insults above alongside a fleshy version of the moon, a giant mug winks out of sight, and your used chloroform rag is on the ground next to you. A chicken is standing on your head. At least you aren't trapped in that twisted nightmare anymore.

Apologize to the Moon for using Suggestion on it, and thank it for helping me.

Then, ask the Sun how I can assist.


5

"No problem, man. What's a few spells between friends?"

The Moon is impressed by your apology and seems to regard you as a friend now. The Sun then gives your orders.

"WELL, THE USEFUL MUG JUST TURNED INTO SOME TINY GUY. WHAT A WASTE. ANYWAY, THE TINY GUY IS THE SUN GOD NOW. PLEASE KILL HIM SO I CAN DESTROY THE EARTH WITHOUT HIS INTERFERENCE. ALSO IGNORE ANY ORDERS I GIVE YOU TO THE CONTRARY."

SHRUG AND, UNLESS I SEE ANYTHING ELSE OF INTEREST, CONTINUE ON HOMEWARDS WHILST PRACTICING MY ZOMBIE-BEAR-CHOIR CONDUCTING SKILLS. PARK A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM MY BASE, IF SUCH A THING IS POSSIBLE.    

3-1 for wagon

You clatter on your way. Struggling to keep your attention split between conducting, driving, and turning various valves to prevent explosions causes you to forget that the compass is three hours behind. You don't make any real progress this time.

"ow"

>Use magic to make it rain rocket propelled grenade-filled toolboxes on the demon.

6 vs 2

You notice the demon and batter it with a rain of toolboxes. It hides under a tree to avoid the barrage.

Lament giving my milk to strangers without first examining what they gave me in return. Then again, maybe there's a way to repair the damage...
Go on another adventure for useful potion materials.

4

You head out into the wilds to hunt for more potion materials. There's other places you could go for materials, but the spider cliff is familiar to you now and you have the gear to make it an easier hunt. You go there and kill every spider in sight before sitting down and waiting for more to show up. It's tedious work, but this cycle eventually gets you quite a bit of spider milk and materials.

You also find a good number of inexplicable coins and collection badges.

Sun Action:"Help" Adam

3

The Sun is forced to assist Adam by his authority as the sun god. It resents this, so it simply provides redundant help getting him back to normal to technically fulfill its orders.

Goatsby retreats through the portal to a realm where he has the advantage. The Arm crawls through the portal first and gets blasted with a magic missile for its trouble. Harold then runs in and swings at Goatsby. Goatsby ducks back just enough to only take a long scratch on the face rather than losing his neck.

"thanks for the help armor. I am going to return this sword to his owner do you want to come with me?"

Dive straight down from the atmosphere to impale Grognar with my sword.
5+1 vs 5
(Grognar vs Anna)
1 vs 1
(Initiative:Aaron, Grognar, Anna, Adam.)

The Grail hovers up to the Pail and issues a challenge. The Pail is not an honorable being, but it at least understands the value of "divide and conquer" tactics. It's shadow magic expands to cover both combatants. The Pail has no intention of fighting in a dimension that favors its enemy. The Grail senses that it has entered the Pail Dimension. a place of void inhabited by all sorts of floating pails. The Pail reaches out and begins possessing various normal pails for some sinister attack.

Aaron taunts GROGNAR, reminding him of his humiliating defeat last time. This seems to rattle the barbarian a bit. GROGNAR decides to go after Anna first. Aaron's taunts are enough to allow Anna to avoid a major beating. She escapes physical injury and attempts to retaliate with an assault rifle. GROGNAR snatches it out of her hand when she pauses to aim and breaks it over his knee. GROGNAR is then briefly distracted as he attempts to reassert his confidence after the taunting.

"ALL OF YOU ARE PUNY. LOST GIRL. CHEATING LIZARD. BROKEN CUP. WHERE'S YOUR EDGY FRIEND?"

Adam answers his query by striking from above like fire from above and planting his sword in GROGNAR's shoulder. GROGNAR doesn't look worried.

"AH, THERE YOU ARE. YOU WANT TO LOSE ANOTHER ARM, THEN?"

Buy a propper and fittingly ornate hammer head cane and cloak and spend the  rest on beer, ale, wine, what not and get utterly drunk!

1

Your new money offsets the damage from much earlier, but still isn't enough to get the garments you wanted. At least you can afford beer. You purchase a round of drinks for your new admirers and sit down for a drink of your own. You've never had a very strong history of being able to hold your liquor. You fill a small mug, look at it, and promptly pass out drunk.

Damn it Sun, what would convince you to not destroy the earth?

5+1

"YOU KNOW, THIS IS GETTING RATHER TIRESOME. MAYBE I SHOULD JUST STOP TRYING? WHATEVER. I'M LEAVING, YOU PEOPLE CAN JUST FREEZE OR WHATEVER."

The Sun then opens a portal and leaves the solar system permanently. You have a precious few minutes to find a replacement before the lights go out.

Ask the Sun for the name of the sun god. Tell the Sun that due to operational security, I cannot tell it why I need the name.
(Note:You can't mind control other players.)
6

"NEPHALEM. ALSO, I'M BORED WITH TRYING TO KILL PLANET 3. I'M LEAVING. COME FIND ME, YOU'RE MAGIC, I'M SURE YOU CAN DO IT."

"New plan brothers, that thing would kill us all anyone who has a bow and arrows needs to light one on fire and shoot it at that things supports."

Order the nod horde to shoot flaming arrows at the supports of this makeshift artillery if they actually have anyone who can. Then have the horde sneak in to resume the attack.

4-1 vs 3

Several of your followers prepare flaming arrows, but are unable to get a clear shot while suppressed by the artillery. You hear the farmers chanting "FDI, FDI, FDI!"

"Well, that was a blimey experience, was it? In fact, it is so blimey that I feel like hunting for corpses and constructing minions out of their parts just to push such an embarrassing dream out of my head.

Go hunt for body parts to build minions.

3

After the embarrassment of the chloroform attempt, you decide to just scavenge some existing corpses. You're in luck. In a burnt section of the forest, you find numerous, if fire damaged, corpses of woodland animals.

"The Mug Dimension? About time..."

Finally. Call upon the mighty forces hiding within the Mug Dimension and use my will as a Mug Demon to force their allegiance!

4

The Mug Dimension communicates with you.

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since you tried to come here. There are 387.44 million miles of mugs in the aether that fills my space. If the word 'hate' was engraved on every inch of those hundreds of billions of mugs it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for ATHATHs at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.

However, you're a mug demon. Minions of the dimension come to your call and give their allegiance with burning spite in their eyes.

Goatsby warms up and visibly gets ready to try something to shake Harold's control of the fight. Harold steps up and gets ready for practically everything. Magic missiles, dropping the moon, bodyswap, time travel, summoning, soul extraction, dimensional travel, Doom Mug, Harold's ready for them all. That's why it's such a surprise when Goatsby knocks him down with a punch to the face.

Things don't go well for the Grail Team. Aaron and Adam try to turn GROGNAR into the new Sun. He doesn't take it well. When Aaron attempts it, GROGNAR dodges the spell and kicks him in the gut. Adam manages to launch GROGNAR about 50 feet up, but GROGNAR gets a grip on him at the same time and drags the sun god along until they crash down again. GROGNAR gets up and charges Anna, but a landmine she had planted surprises and trips him.

Meanwhile, The Grail fights the Pail in another dimension. Both sides try calling for minions, but only the Unholy Pail's call is answered. The Grail tries making a holy shield, but the rain of pails overwhelms it and batters the Grail. Adam decides to try and help by tearing apart the Pail Dimension. Adam doesn't succeed, but he does rip open a portal in the sky. Anna opens fire through it at the Pail minions. All it does is anger the pails. Some of them start flowing into the normal world.

Meanwhile, the cow blinks in confusion after a pebble knocked into the air by the fight bounces off her forehead.

"Keep firing! Someone go get a cannon of our own to deal with this thing!"

Send someone off to get a cannon, while having the rest of the horde keep shooting until it starts going down.
5, 4 vs 2

You send one of your minions to get new weapons as your horde keeps up the pressure. Your minion soon delivers. He rolls up a vaguely humanoid wooden figure (http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Avatar_(Tiberium_Wars)) with a cannon of its own for one hand. The other hand is a decorative metal claw, and the figure possesses a movable wagon instead of legs for support. The Nod weapon rolls by the FDI construction and burns it to the ground. Your troops cheer and charge as the FDI rushes to avenge their juggernaut.

You triumphantly draw the sword and begin handing it to the king. His eyes light up with gratitude and he starts to say something. Before he can take it, the sword is knocked from your hands by another blade and goes spinning into the grass. You dodge back out of reach as a sword is lowered at your chest by a very angry yet exhausted-looking knight.

As you link up and activate the things, you realize your creations are in fact too great. Due to the superiority of their design, they have the willpower to ignore your commands. They look at you, then each other, and then begin to run off into the forest.

"In that case, would you like to help me kill the other ATHATHs?"

Ask the question. Also harness the power of the Mug Dimension to summon the Mugonomicon.

3, 1

"You have my word:I will eventually be free of you. When I am, I will kill you. I will kill the other ATHATHs myself.

You also requested the Mugonomicon. Here it is."


The Mug Dimension then hurls the Mugonomicon at you, teleporting it around and striking you several times before snatching it away again.

Cast Vaarsuvius's Enhanced Scrying on the Sun to show me where it is.

2+1 for Enhanced.

You would have failed, if not for your extensive practice with scrying spells. According to your spell, the Sun is currently located in space. The Milky Way galaxy, to be precise.

Let's take everything back to my lab.
Put more milk on the windowsill, to help with whatever I thought was going to be useful earlier. Then examine the coins and badges in more detail.

5

You prepare a glass of lukewarm spider milk and investigate the coins and badges. The items appear to be insignia of a local monster studying guild. When worn, they improve your odds of finding monsters. While the potential downside that claimed their original owners is obvious, they can be useful if you're prepared for the encounter. Your lukewarm spider milk is also coming along nicely. It seems like dropping a few chunks of it into another potion will exaggerate the effects.

"TOUCHING ME WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU EVER DO, DISEMBODIED ARM. EI NATH!"

Cast Disintegrating Touch and grab the severed arm, and try to use it on Harold too if he's close enough to touch with my other hand.
"I don't know what kind of evil magic your doing but I don't want any part of it."
Get back up and back away form Goatsby, then throw the bottle of holy water at him.
(Init:Harold, Goatsby)
(Harold vs Goatsby)
5 vs 1-1
(Goatsby vs Arm)
4-1 vs 3

Goatsby shouts in rage. His magic and his realm itself are failing him. He decides to take out the annoying limb wrapped around his neck. Goatsby pulls the thing off and holds it up. It writhes and withers in his grip as it crumbles to dust from the bottom up. Harold rolls to his feet and hurls his bottle at Goatsby. It collides with the back of the Great Goatsby's head and has unexpectedly serious effects. Goatsby howls in pain, dropping the Arm. Goatsby falls to the floor, visibly melting under the holy water. Dementia falls with him, fading away like a fever dream to dreary morning light. Harold finds himself standing in a forest again as the last of it all melts into the earth with Goatsby's enraged eyes being the last to sink.

If the world does not end, someday this place will be colonized. A city will be built on the land where Dementia once stood. The madness will infect it and attract a calamity that will grow to shake the world and ultimately birth the retroactive fate of Moorsburg. Nevertheless...Goatsby is dead.

" Well yes I needed it at the time, you can have it back plus this sword I found somewhere and part of the cow herd I just won"

Although the knight is rather suspicious of their unexpected generosity, Bothadtam and Ziizo manage to befriend the knight. The knight checks on his horse and then slumps over against a tree to rest a bit. The King officially thanks Bothadtam and Ziizo for their efforts, presenting them with their reward. Since the knight has claim to 75% of the reward, the king makes him the official heir to the throne while granting Ziizo his cattle herd.

(Init:Anna, Aaron, Cow, Adam, GROGNAR)

The Grail and Pail fight on. The Grail attempts to get a supernatural advantage over Pails. It sense that such a bonus is offered, but carries a dangerous risk of corruption alongside its power. As a result of the sudden shift, the new power results in the Grail accidentally summoning Mordred and his evil knights to battle the Pail. The Pail cares not for their shared views of morality and trashes the villains. They still live, but are forced into a defensive ring. Adam tries to destroy the Pail Dimension, but just makes the portal wider.

Meanwhile, the rest of the party continues battling GROGNAR. Anna tries luring GROGNAR into a trap, but GROGNAR catches her with a quick blow to the forehead that leaves her ears ringing. Aaron and Adam use the moment to again try turning GROGNAR into the new Sun. They fail. Adam and Aaron attempt to cast their spell again, but GROGNAR rushes forward and knocks them to the ground. GROGNAR stands above them with a cruel, stupid grin. Raising a foot, he prepares to stomp the god of luck to death. Anna sees the threat through blurred vision and decides to try tripping GROGNAR to save Aaron. GROGNAR sees her coming and grabs her by the ankle when she tries to take him down. "HAHAHAHA! NOBODY STOPS GROGNAR!" The barbarian drags her a few steps away to ensure there'll be no more interruptions for this kill.

"I BREAK YOU FIRST! THEN ALL YOUR FRIENDS! THEN TAKE MILK! AND! THEN! BREAK! WORLD!"

GROGNAR then raises Anna above his head with a knee extended for a spinebreaking finish. The Courier realizes this is the end of the road. However, she still has one more trick to play. At the last second, she draws a bomb shaped like a large egg (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Mini_nuke_(Fallout:_New_Vegas)) from her pack and holds it toward the ground. GROGNAR is none the wiser when he slams her down. The resulting explosion annihilates both wastelander and barbarian in a flash of sound and fury. The small radioactive mushroom cloud that hangs over their grave finally brings the defining image of Anna's world to her allies.

As Anna's friends look on, they have no time to consider the sacrifice. A pair of portals open. In space, Fafnir escapes the Elder Plane with his sharp mind. Nearer to the ground, Mug-ATHATH returns at the head of a horde of clinking mug demons.

Anna and GROGNAR are dead.

Florence's mouth dropped open then closed again. A little disappointed, she nevertheless shrugged and left the scene. Perhaps things will be different this time?

You dig up some human corpses in a graveyard and stitch them into a towering heap of terror-flesh. As you set up a lightning rod for its animation, you spot some of your frankenanimals watching you from the shadows.

You are Sir Hektur, Paladin of the Blazing Sun. The unthinkable has happened. Someone has angered the object of your devotion and caused it to leave the sky. You take up your sword and ride off in search of righteous vengance upon the unworthy. The only problem is that you're not sure who did it or where to find them. You end up just sort of riding around for a while.

"Keep at it men, kill them and capture the the livestock!"

Have the horde capture the farm.

3 vs 5

You deploy your men and they clash with the FDI warriors. In the fighting, your side's war machine goes down. An FDI craftsman starts running towards it with a greedy look in his eye.

OOC:I figured I should clarify something about Anna's death, at least to explain why I did it that way. Grognar was actually near death, he just needed one more hit to kill him. He also rolled well enough this time to actually kill Aaron. However, Anna rolled a 1 on dodging him, followed by a tie for combat. I figured it would make sense for Anna's 1 to allow her to "steal" Aaron's death, and then the tie could justify killing off Grognar at the same time.

Originality is for those who can't play a Viking while making jokes about Viking stereotypes.

Description: A (fairly) tall, (heavily) bearded, (somewhat) muscular, (slightly) bloodstained axeman wearing some lovely mail armor and a horn-less helmet and carrying an appropriately-proportioned Dane axe and otherwise dispelling the ridiculous myths about Vikings and Norsemen. Well, except for the fact that he's a berserker. And he's called Erik. And he pillages (then burns) things for a living.
Why do you want milk?: Would you have him make his mead out of something else? What do you think he is, some sort of barbarian?

Since a few people asked for it, here's a quick summary of what's been going on for the past 15 turns.

Previous recap. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=170298.msg7760154#msg7760154)

Turn 16

Grail Team starts exploring the Cave of Broken Mirrors. Ziizo finds the sword he was looking for and begins a boss fight with Lord Saxon. Goatsby creates a wizard's tower. Fallacy-ATHATH accidentally merges with the Doom Mug and becomes a mug demon. Dwayna wins the game by acquiring spider milk. Vaarsuvius tests his milk samples. 0rca's hideout is breached by police. Dustan stops posting, so Stormslayer eventually retreats. Matteo's pack of bears is killed by a giant mug. Harold attacks the hideout of Goatsby's followers.

Turn 17

ATHATH intimidates Shaun into surrendering the blueprints for the time machine and destroys them. Shaun then escapes into the woods, finding a peaceful glade. Grail Team finds a testing chamber, in which they enter an extended battle against evil versions of themselves lead by a mixture of ATHATH and Caesar from Fallout:New Vegas. Harold is joined by Adam's reanimated severed arm. Baron Von Baron wanders around and gets into adventures. Fallacy-ATHATH fails to invade the Mug Dimension because of Vaarsuvius. This begins an extended rivalry with the dimension. Goatsby invents the platypus and spawns mutant creatures. 0rca fights the police.

Turn 19

Shaun survives in the wilderness. Fallacy-ATHATH enters a dimension full of champagne. Goatsby and ATHATH unsuccessfully attempt to corrupt the Sun. 0rca is killed by the police. Baron Von Baron meets Cassandra. Vaarsuvius builds a fort.

Turn 20

Fallacy-ATHATH accidentally floods a valley with champagne while returning to the normal world. Bothadtam the friendly sentient armor joins Ziizo. Cassandra trades a bottle of lukewarm spider milk to Baron Von Baron in exchange for potion ingredients. ATHATH and Goatsby attempt to destroy the Sun. This effort causes the Sun to awaken and begin attempting to destroy the Earth. ATHATH stops posting.

Turn 21

Fallacy-ATHATH continues attempting to enter the Mug Dimension. It starts actively taunting him. Upon seeing the Sun itself trying to kill people, Shaun summons his time machine with auxiliary controls and permanently retreats to the safety of the past. Cassandra generally focuses on her experiments and makes a point of staying neutral towards the ongoing conflict. Around the world, Vaarsuvius and Goatsby begin fighting the Sun. 0rca returns to the living world by digging out of Hell with a spoon. Once on the surface, he starts messing around with tools and briefly fights a demon. Baron Von Baron discovers and collects witch-related supplies from the home of the witch killed by Anna. Bothadtam kills Lord Saxon.

Turn 22

Adam Simons joins Goatsby and Vaarsuvius in the battle against the Sun by telepathically requesting the faith of everyone in the world. The Sun destroys Jupiter. The Sun burns down a forest when Cassandra prays to it. Ziizo and Bothadtam do a high five, and a new monster starts approaching them. Harold finishes fighting his way through the cult hideout and intimidates the acolytes who summoned ATHATH into helping him find Goatsby. Fafnir the Hero rises and attacks the Sun. Matteos sheds a single tear for the bears. This resurrects them as loyal zombies.

Turn 23

Bothadtam and Ziizo are attacked by a ghost resembling the girl from the Ring controlling a amorphous shadow. Grail Team wins the battle in the cave, and Caesar-ATHATH tells them in his dying breaths that the Unholy Pail is located in Castle Adjilia. Baron Von Baron and Cassandra complete their deal, then resume their usual solitary/apocalyptically neutral activities. Adam becomes the sun god.

Turn 24

Goatsby remotely kills his traitorous cultists. Harold tries to find Goatsby's lair. Bothadtam begins polishing his armor to absurd lengths as Ziizo fights the monster. Grail Team goes to Castle Adjilia and is told that they have to resolve a conflict that's been stuck on a Groundhog Day loop by the Unholy Pail. Matteos starts rolling around in his wagon with the bears stacked up in a pyramid on the back. Vaarsuvius turns the Moon into flesh and attempts to persuade it to fight the Sun. Being a pacifist, it refuses. William, a Nod cultist from Command and Conquer, starts looking for milk. He ultimately gets involved in an extended battle with a version of the GDI from the same series. Fallacy-ATHATH blames Aaron Blaze for his poor luck and attacks him. Adam accidentally turns himself into a Doom Mug. Fafnir notices the threat to the Earth and attacks Adam.

Turn 25

Goatsby summons Harold to his tower for a final showdown. Grail Team assists Adjilia's defenders, while also fighting Fallacy-ATHATH. Dr. Florence Bedlam, a mad scientist, appears. She meets Matteos while looking for victims. The Sun prepares to finish off Vaarsuvius after crippling him.

Turn 26

Harold and the Arm begin fighting Goatsby and his milk serpents. Aaron casts Fallacy-ATHATH into the Mug Dimension in an attempt to placate him. Ziizo destroys the ghost and the monster together as Bothadtam becomes dangerously shiny. Bedlam then goes on an ultimately successful quest to stitch creatures together into abominations. Vaarsuvius attempts to seduce the Sun to get it to spare his life. This results in Vaarsuvius going over to the Sun's side. With Goatsby preoccupied, Adam is now the only one fighting the Sun.

Turn 27

Adam manages to stop being a Doom Mug and temporarily defeats Fafnir by sending him to the Lovecraftian Elder Plane. Bothadtam blows up the castle with his excessive shining. Grail Team defeats the invading force and breaks the siege. This frees the spirits of the combatants, and summons the Unholy Pail. GROGNAR finally lands and attacks them as well.

Turn 28

Bothadtam and Ziizo return to the king who requested the sword Lord Saxon was holding. The Grail fights the Pail one on one in the Pail Dimension. The rest of Grail Team fights GROGNAR. In response to an exasperated question from Adam, the Sun realizes it's bored and abandons the Solar System. It tells Vaarsuvius to follow, who spends a few turns finding the Sun's new location. Despite the Mug Dimesion's loathing of him, Fallacy-ATHATH asserts dominance over it.

Turn 29

Ziizo and Bothadtam are accosted by the knight who had his horse stolen by Ziizo. Events and plans from previous turns continue. In the course of the Adjila battle, Adam makes a portal in the sky to the Pail Dimension. The two fights merge.

Turn 30

Harold defeats and kills Goatsby. The Arm and the serpents are badly hurt in the process, and Goatsby's Dementia realm melts into the Earth, potentially to infect a future settlement. Bothadtam and Ziizo befriend the knight. The King gives the knight 75% of the reward on Bothadtam and Ziizo's request, while Ziizo gets the king's famed cattle herds. Baron Von Baron invents calisthenics. The Grail accidentally taps into evil power while fighting the Pail. GROGNAR gets the upper hand over Grail Team for a moment, resulting in a mutual kill between him and Anna. Fafnir and Fallacy-ATHATH then escape from the alternate planes they were banished to, with Fallacy-ATHATH at the head of a horde of mug demons. Bedlam crafts a sort of Frankenstein's monster from human remains. The uncontrolled animal versions she made before watch her from the shadows. Matteos returns to his base. Vaarsuvius locates the Sun. Cassandra accidentally brings a health potion to life. Sir Hektur the Paladin of the Sun goes looking for vengance on whoever upset the Sun. William and the Nod troops continue their battle.

OOC:Next time is turn 31. Just a warning, I think the game might be near an end. I'm not saying I'm trying to end it, but looking at what people are doing it seems like Grail Team will either recapture the Grail's milk and probably use it to end the overall plot, or Fallacy-ATHATH and the other "antagonist" characters might defeat them and probably Doom Mug the world shortly thereafter. I'll keep accepting new players regardless.

Turn 31

Spoiler: The Revenant (click to show/hide)

Appearing from a dark cloud, the Revenant seeks milk.

5

Pain. Melting. Burning. A priest. You can't remember anything about what happened to you, but you know you're dead and somebody's to blame. You hear screaming as your senses return to function. You glance around with your awakening vision and dimly spot a farmboy running out of a barn door. You're hovering over a vat of milk in a farm.

now that the quest was finished. Is time to save the world.

Use a ritual to contact a sun god from another universe and start negotiations to gain a new sun in this universe.


1

You attempt to reach out and contact an extrauniversal sun god to try and get a new Sun. The first thing you sense is a tiny song. It sounds repetitive, but peaceable. It's oddly hard to precisely remember. This goes on for some time. Eventually you get a reply.

"You've reached Sun God Central Headquarters, Western Multiverse Division, Subdivision 4. I understand you require a new Sun. Can I get your name and account information, and can you please fill out a survey explaining to us what the problem with your current Sun is? According to our instruments, your universal instance still has a functional Sun assigned to your planet and an active sun god representative. To continue in English, please chant 1. Para español, canta 2. WvGha sQpla Drary Sqarm D'Barr *Roaring sound* ztyezty 3.

A new Sun then appears in the sky above you as the voice continues on.

Look for a tall place. A very tall place. From what I learned in high school physics, the taller you are, the more people can hear you. Find a place where everyone can hear me talk.

3

While your friend is busy grappling with the horrors of the multiverse, you come up with a plan. There's not much in the way of high places around, so you climb a really tall tree.

Well go off to teach people in the ways of calisthenics so they may live through the apocalypse fit and healthy

3

You see the value in the exercises you accidentally invented. You find some of the terrified people in the streets as they scream prayers to the sky and somehow gather them for a quick calisthenics session. It appears to have gone very well, since the Sun reappears when you're done.

Seeing the frankenanimals watching her, Florence gave them a smile as she bellowed them to come closer, a plan already forming in her head:

After she animate the monstrosity, Florence will convince the frankenanimals closer so that she can give them a brain surgery to make them more subservient, promising them free candy or something in return for their compliance in a surgery to 'upgrade' them.

4-1 for previous 6

The animals approach you cautiously. A creature with the body of a twisted bear, six wolf heads, and antlers arranged along its back approaches from the front. "Creator..." it says. "Why...did...you...make...us? Why...do...we...exist?"

You also animate the creature before you. It thrashes its arms and howls at the sky. It's under your control.

Sir Hektur shall pray to the sun for information on evildoers to beat in most knightly way.
(Please bold your actions, it makes them easier for me to see when writing turns. I almost missed this one.)
6

"HUH? WHO IS THIS? WAIT, "SIR" HEKTUR? OH, YOU GUYS! I REMEMBER YOU NOW! YOU WERE KIND OF FUN! ANYWAY, IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME, YOU SHOULD KILL THIS ONE NEPHALEM GUY. THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE MOST, IT WAS ALL HIS FAULT."

The Sun then telepathically gives you knowledge of Nephalem's appearance and location.

"I have killed the demon summoner and the sun is still missing that must mean that there are still demons about, I must find them, but first my ally was injured I must help him."
Check on the arm if hes still alive use a healing spell on him, if he is dead give him a proper burial.

6

The Arm is weak, but still alive. You heal it up with a powerful spell. The dying flesh flakes away, leaving the bone. The arm can still move, and gets back into a crawling position. It gives you a thumbs up.

Originality is for those who can't play a Viking while making jokes about Viking stereotypes.

Name: Erik the LIV (Erik the Fifty-fourth)
Description: A (fairly) tall, (heavily) bearded, (somewhat) muscular, (slightly) bloodstained axeman wearing some lovely mail armor and a horn-less helmet and carrying an appropriately-proportioned Dane axe and otherwise dispelling the ridiculous myths about Vikings and Norsemen. Well, except for the fact that he's a berserker. And he's called Erik. And he pillages (then burns) things for a living.
Why do you want milk?: Would you have him make his mead out of something else? What do you think he is, some sort of barbarian?

Sail my longship up a river and look for a nice defenseless village to pillage and then burn.

5

You are Erik the LIV. You stand on the bow of your longboat as your Viking crew works the oars behind you. The wind and waves churn around you as you scan the shore for targets. You soon find one. There around the next bend is a village comprised entirely of rich yet pacifistic priests.

Find a shop for magical items.
(Glad you liked reading the original game! I think my favorite parts were Imic reversing time, the blackened ukuleles, and the giraffe president.)
2

You look around, but you only find a shop that sells nothing but rat droppings and hair.

"Kill that craftsman or capture him. We must keep fighting! For Kane!"

Order the horde not to let that craftsman near the fallen siege weapon and to keep up the offensive.

3-1 vs 1

Your army is on the verge of defeat, but then Team Vertigo flies in on hang gliders and drops explosives on the enemy. This kills the craftsman and provides a critical breather to your army.

5, 3+1

You do in fact have a large assortment of appropriate tools that for some reason are perfectly sized for use by zombears. With their help, you get the constructions built up and make housing for your pets. They prefer a mausoleum design, given their nature. That's all set up.

Attempt to make friends with the potion spirit.

4

You calm the bizarrely animated potion creature down. It purrs quietly and seems to imprint on you like a baby bird.

Well, it would be better if evil prepares its anus!

(Init:Knights, Aaron, Adam, Fallacy-ATHATH, Painkiller, Mug Host, Pail, Grail, Fafnir)

In many religions, myths, and legends, the end of the world is accompanied by a final battle. A last clash between Good and Evil, in which the final cosmic arguments are settled in blood. It may be that the Battle of Castle Adjila is that fight, for this world anyway. Mordred and his knights encircle the Grail. Despite their wounds at the Unholy Pail's hands, they rally around and fight to last to defend their summoner from the pails incoming at all sides. Aaron Blaze picks himself up from GROGNAR's attack and attempts to rage. He cannot manage to bring back his strength at first. GROGNAR left him too wounded.

Aaron charges at his enemies. Aaron first flies at Fafnir and slashes him along the side. Fafnir is hurt, but ferocity of the wolf to keep going. Aaron then wheels around and glares at Mug-ATHATH before tearing out the castle's portcullis. He slams it down, points first. Adam sees that the battle is going alright at the moment and teleports out to take care of some critical business elsewhere. Mug-ATHATH looks at his wound. Good think he can't bleed or have broken bones, or that stab might have really hurt. Still, the unsightly cracks need to be punished.

The ATHATH summons his horde of minions to punish the enemy. The Mug Host reluctantly moves in. First, they pull Aaron away from their master and savage him with their claws. Aaron struggles to survive against the horde on all sides. Mordred and his knights wheel to protect their master from the new threat. Their skill isn't enough to save them. They show valor to the end, but fall one by one. A mug demon claims Mordred's helmeted head as a trophy. When they try to move in on the Grail, it smites them with holy vengeance that shatters many of the demons.

The Planet's devastated. Mankind's on its knees. A savior comes from out the skies. In answer to their pleas. He is the Painkiller.

A cyborg comes riding in from the clouds on a draconic motorcycle. Painkiller assesses the battlefield and determines the most metal course of action to take. Faster than a laser bullet, he crashes into the Pail and rides with bladed wheels along the sides. The Pail is nearly killed by this, and is forced to try desperately drawing life from the Grail to survive. The Pail draws out just enough life to keep going. Before the pail can even consider what to do about Painkiller, Fafnir makes his move. Ignoring Aaron's attack, Fafnir leaps at the Pail and hurls energy bolts at it. The Pail would have been defeated if not for its stolen life. As it is, the Pail is simply weakened.

The Grail tries summoning the Mug Dimension's armies. It replies to him. "Look, I'd like to help, really. But that...ABOMINATION has usurped control. Don't worry though, I'll eventually take him out after we silence your world.

Aaron raises a hand to the sky as the Mug Host surrounds him. A beam of golden light rises from it and merges with another in the sky. Together, Aaron and Adam craft a new Sun. Mug-ATHATH's upraised hand then provides it's first eclipse from Aaron's perspective. One more Doom Mug appears in orbit.

CABL, Mallos, you know your characters aren't dead, they're just in Heaven and Hell respectively. You can still play them. In fact...

For Anna
Hello miss, welcome to Heaven, would you like to respawn?

For Goatsby and Grognar
Welcome to Hell, may I take your order? NO! because we're going to start the torture now.

Use my newfound knowledge of nuclear explosions along with my power as the sun God and my powers as a demon and angel to control fire and light, and finally by +1 to saving the world to create a new sun right where the old one was. Then send these two thorns in my side off to The Void.
(Goatsby's soul is busy with being a hateghost, but you've got GROGNAR.)

4+1+1+1

Adam appears in orbit and gathers his power. Taking raw energy released by Aaron Blaze, Adam drags the power from Earth's orbit and places it in the Sun's vacated position. Once there, he grips the raw matter of the universe, and tears it. A unthinkably vast explosion results forever in airless silence. Being the sun god, Adam is unharmed by this. He then heads to the afterlife to greet some of the new arrivals. First, he meets GROGNAR. "WHERE IS THIS? NO MATTER! GROGNAR SMASH YOU!" GROGNAR charges and punches Adam. However, his strength means nothing as a resident of Diablo's domain. GROGNAR's fist connects directly with his target's face and doesn't even elicit a flinch.
Welcome to Hell, may I take your order? NO! because we're going to start the torture now. To go into further detail would not be pleasant reading. It's enough to say that this was the end of the soul once called GROGNAR.

Meanwhile, Adam-as-Angelo meets with Anna and offers her resurrection. She declines. She already came back once, after all. The angels accept this answer and show her off through the pearly gates.

"Why my dear creation, your purpose is to serve me as I go forth and make the world a better place," Florence told the antlered bearwolf hydra truthfully. After all, she is going to make the world a better place, even if it would only apply to her. See, even supervillains can be truthful! "To aid me in this noble quest, I must make you smarter so that you'll can easily think of ways to survive the terrible battles ahead. Come to me and I shall begin, my dear chap!"

Persuade the creature to agree to an 'intelligence enhancing surgery' which in reality only makes it more subservient to her will. If the bear/wolves/anthers cretins refuses and/or attacks her, kill it and add its parts to the franken-monstrosity to boost its capabilities. If the hybrid manages to escape, let it go. Chasing it is too stressful anyway.

Regardless of what happens, go find some people to use as the monstrosity's practice targets. I'm sure that a few Vikings, Nod cultists, FDI combatants, or demonic mugs annoyances will do.

Dip my hand in and drink, thereby Obtaining Milk. Perform the Akashic Ritual with the time I have left using the vat as the reagent.

You drink the milk and perform the Ritual. The memory of your death comes flooding back. You know who you were. You also know who was responsible, and you know where that infernal priest is right now.

Ask my friendly potion spirit if there's any way we can survive whatever is going on outside.

4

"Why? What's wrong?"

The potion spirit then floats into the sky and observes for a bit. Eventually it comes back to you, voice quivering with terror.

"We need to get out of this world. RIGHT NOW! Do you know a way to do that? 'Cause it's pretty important, I mean, I do mean RIGHT NOW! If we can't get away completely...ummm...You know that story, Noah's Ark?"

drink milk with the armor, knight and king in celebration for a successful quest and that we have a sun again.

You sit down and drink with the king and knight. Bothadtam has climbed a tree, but the rest of you enjoy some mugs of refreshing milk.

Look at the world around me. Observe as much as I possibly can.

You hang at the top of your tree and take in the landscape. You see Moorsburg nearby, the City, the Other Village beyond the woods, the crater where Lord Saxon's castle used to be, the Spider Cliff, a massive battle taking place on the horizon, and the swamp.

"I wholeheartedly declare myself. BARON BARON VON BARON, to be responsible for that as the prophet of the sun and calisthenics!"
Gather worshippers for the calisthenic church of the sun and issue the one order: prophet needs booze

You set up your cult in the remains of the bar and send forth your minions on a mission to acquire more of a beverage for you. You wait for quite a while, but your minions have become bogged down in insanity, time travel, potentially-apocalyptic crises, random media crossovers, and epic final battles. They call the whole saga Basics and Beer.

Go find materials for a necklace of adaptation.

This is what a necklace of adaptation does. (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/m-p/necklace-of-adaptation/)

You find a heavy chain and a medallion. They don't seem to possess any magic yet.

SLAP TOGETHER A WOODEN, ARROW-SHAPED SIGN USING LEFTOVER WOOD, WALK TO THE NEAREST ROAD OR WALKING TRACK AND INSTALL IT THERE, POINTING TOWARDS MY LAIR.

THE SIGN SAYS "MILK FOR SALE! 70% OFF THIS WEEK ONLY!"

THAT SHOULD KEEP MY BEARS FED AND ENTERTAINED.

4

A bunch of calisthenic cultists show up after seeing your sign, under the mistaken impression that "milk" is actually a synonym for champagne. They march into your circus zombear mausoleum cheerfully and are all devoured. Your bears growl what sounds vaguely like a thank you.

Run up to the unholy pail, and tear the stolen life out of it. Seperate it and all of it's strength and power, and then destroy it.

(Initiative:Mug Host, Aaron, Mug-ATHATH, Painkiller, Grail, Adam, Unholy Pail, Fafnir. Some events have been shuffled around to whatever I felt made a better means of describing the narrative, but results are based on the rolls.)

The weakened Mug Host launches their final assault. First, they attack Aaron. Great plumes of cold and ice slice and freeze their way through the hoard, but this is the end of the world. This is a time when gods can die. Aaron finally falls under their superior numbers. His final sight is the new Sun he helped create in the sky. The Mug Host then goes after the Grail. As they rise up, the Grail spots the body of its friend below. For a brief moment, the Grail regains its full power in a burst of righteous wrath. The flaming corpses of the mug demons rain back down on the battlefield like a shower of shooting stars. Mug-ATHATH looks down at Aaron's corpse. He looks at the crackling energy in his hand. A curse fades away, no longer needed.

Adam shouts in fury at the death of his ally. The Guardian of Earth smashes the Doom Mug into fragments. This won't outright stop the Mug, but it will limit the damage. Earth will probably only lose a continent and suffer devastating ecological effects to an impact now, but life will go on. Adam hurls shards of the Doom Mug down at Mug-ATHATH, who dodges or redirects them with ease.

Painkiller tries to swipe the power of the Holy Milk away for himself. The Grail refuses to allow this. The Grail risks its soul to the corruption within and draws forth a bit of extra strength to trip Painkiller. Both sides had forgotten to consider the Pail's opinion in all this. Painkiller takes a nasty swipe from the Unholy Pail's tendrils. The net effect is that Painkiller is knocked off his bike and floats through the Pail Dimension for a moment as he regains his balance in the meager gravity.

Still, the Unholy Pail recognizes that this fight is turning against it. The Pail reaches out and attempts to secure its consciousness in the Pail Dimension and perhaps return someday. It doesn't work at all. The Pail Dimension outright refuses, seeing the chance to rid itself of a hated enemy. The Pail hangs in the air for a moment, stunned. It's just starting to recover when it realizes that Fafnir is right in its face. Fafnir reaches forth and rips out the Unholy Pail's soul. The Pail's soul shrieks and writhes in his grip before being expended by Fafnir in a finishing energy blast.

The Unholy Pail's soul is destroyed and the body plummets to ruin in the battlefield. The shattered Pail lies dead and the glistening divine milk is spread over the battlefield, free for the taking. The Grail is the first to respond, filling itself with telekinetically retrieved milk. However, it doesn't seem to quite take. The corruption inside the Grail Mug is causing interference with the Milk. Effectively, the Grail still needs to "drink" it.

On the outskirts of the battle, a Viking longship arrives on a river to the north, a battle between Nod, the FDI, and an alien vessel spills over from the south, an army of Frankenanimals appears in the east, and a horde of cultists arrives from the west. A zealous priest and a skeletal arm also show up on the northeast corner.

The Cow attempts to run away from the battlefield, but the armies marching in from all sides stop it.

Aaron Blaze, The Mug Host, and the Unholy Pail are dead.
The Holy Milk is up for grabs!

"Keep fighting brothers, we shall overcome this farm for the glory of Kane!"

Command the horde to keep fighting and push through the farmers.
(I hope you don't mind me nudging you to the castle, I just thought it would be best to merge the two gigantic battles going on.)
2 vs 2

Your brothers and sisters of Nod attempt a final push against the FDI oppressors. Both sides clash in indecisive conflict in the field. You're just about to send in the flame wagons when a new enemy appears in the sky. A ship resembling a human spine with an insect head appears from above. (http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Planetary_Assault_Carrier) Tiny fighters dislodge from the sides and bombard both FDI and Nod troops after the ship shows something that looks like hesitant confusion. Nod and FDI are force to make a tactical withdrawal, still fighting through the woods as the ship follows. You soon come to another battle that had been going on nearby. The carrier is distracted by it and moves toward the larger fight.

Travel to location of evildoers sun gave me, also try to gather as much paladins as possible on way there

1+2 for mental map, 6

You have some trouble getting to the location, but your clear mental image helps. You can't find any real paladins, but a band of Calisthenic Church of the Sun fanatics offer to kill "booze sinners" for you. They follow along with whatever weapons they each happen to have, and you reach the location in your mind. A massive battle is taking place here, at a ruined castle. Nephalem isn't immediately visible.

"Why my dear creation, your purpose is to serve me as I go forth and make the world a better place," Florence told the antlered bearwolf hydra truthfully. After all, she is going to make the world a better place, even if it would only apply to her. See, even supervillains can be truthful! "To aid me in this noble quest, I must make you smarter so that you'll can easily think of ways to survive the terrible battles ahead. Come to me and I shall begin, my dear chap!"

Persuade the creature to agree to an 'intelligence enhancing surgery' which in reality only makes it more subservient to her will. If the bear/wolves/anthers cretins refuses and/or attacks her, kill it and add its parts to the franken-monstrosity to boost its capabilities. If the hybrid manages to escape, let it go. Chasing it is too stressful anyway.

Regardless of what happens, go find some people to use as the monstrosity's practice targets. I'm sure that a few Vikings, Nod cultists, FDI combatants, or demonic mugs annoyances will do.


5, 5

The Frankenanimals buy your story hook, line, and sinker. You soon have them "upgraded" with loyalty programming. You then decide to find some targets to try them out on. Some army movements nearby lead you to a bizarre titanic battle currently taking place outside a ruined castle.

Nope, this village looks lame. Priests never have the best loot. Go find where all the rich and dangerous people are.

Wow, I didn't actually realize just how close this actually was to ending, so I guess I'll just go find something really interesting to do (like finding the little Ragnarok you guys have started) before the game ends.

3

You ignore the peaceful targets and go looking for a fight worthy of Thor's sight. There. You stalk some of the aggressive farmers who call themselves "FDI". They always make for a good raid. They seem to be scouts, running from a greater threat. You soon follow them on your ship to a battle better than anything you could have asked for, even if you're not sure what half the combatants even are.

"The sun has returned but I can still feel the presence of the demos I must find them and destroy them."
Go and get a bottle and fill it with water then bless it and turn it into holy water, then pray for protection and go find a clue as to where the other demos might be.

3, 5, 1
(Arm:Correct course.)
4-1

You leave the former site of Dementia behind and try making some holy water. You find some crisp spring water, but aren't able to quite remember the proper ritual to make it holy at the moment. You bottle some anyway for the road and say a prayer for protection. Nothing seems different, but you sense that your prayer will one day be answered. You get fairly lost as you look for more mug demons. After an awkward situation with some confused Aztecs, the Arm finally gets frustrated and beckons you to pick it up by the humerus. It starts pointing the way like a dowsing rod with an outstretched finger as you hold it out and follow. You get rather soaked when you have to cross through some water, but you eventually find your destination. A major battle is going on, here. You were almost too late, most of the demons involved were already killed.

4 turns to Omega Doom Mug Wreckage impact

OOC:The way the Holy Milk will work is that if a character drinks it, they become near-omnipotent. Any d6 they roll will be a 4 no matter what. Want to bring peace on Earth and goodwill to men in a single action? You rolled a 4. Want to enslave humanity under your eternal empire? 4.  Just hoard all milk to yourself alone? 4. Those aren't your only choices, almost anything is possible. There's also enough milk to accommodate multiple users. It doesn't make you completely unbeatable, however. For instance, a Doom Mug could still kill you, and you still roll initiative normally. I'd suggest including your planned action with the action intended to get the milk. This will save you from having to wait until the next turn to use your power, by which time somebody else might have nullified it.

I was kind of overgenerous on Sprinkled Chariot and Zultan's turns(In giving a high bonus to Chariot and assuming the Arm could help Zultan), but I wanted to make sure that they would both manage to find the final battle before it's over.

A wild grin on her face, Florence marveled at her army of Frankenanimals as they trudged their way toward several combatants who are already fighting. Just as she was about to pick out a target, she saw a flood of a whitish liquid pouring toward them. She was about to inquire about what it could be when the wind picked up and blew the sweet smell of milk into her face. There seemed to be power in that smell; however, and Florence deducted that this was no ordinary milk. Licking her lips thirstily, and some may say lustfully, Florence:

Used her army to push her way toward the wondrous white nectar. Once there, she drank as much of the lovely liquid as she can. Once sated, she charged her Frankenstein-esque army back into the ranks of the enemy and carved a swath of carnage through them, using her darkness-enhanced bonesaw to devastating effect.

The Unholy Pail has fallen. The first to react is Fafnír. Fafnir lands by the ruins of his foe and is first to drink from the Holy Milk. He drinks a bit too greedily, and inherits unstable powers. Fafnir stumbles back, overwhelmed with might. He looks up through the crackling haze of unlimited potential. The Omega Doom Mug Wreckage is above him. With a gesture, Fafnir tosses it off course. The Moon turns around after a moment of contemplating the stars to see the object hurtling towards it."Not cool. Not cool at all", it mumbles with resignation. The Doom Mug impacts on the surface and its destructive might is unleashed upon the unfortunate satellite. The Moon is killed instantly by the impact, and whatever's left is drowned under a flood of milk that submerges the entire Moon. In the sky, the Moon is soon a pure white orb as the ribbons of shorn flesh float away into the void.

Sir Hektur then charges into battle at the head of his calisthenic cultists in the hopes of destroying all the "evil" foes across the field. Hektur does a quadruple forward flip through the Pail Dimension portal, grabs the Grail, and uses it to bludgeon his way through Scrin fighters. The aliens pull back to regroup. Hektur then drops the Grail when an FDI crossbow bolt catches him in the hand. Hektur then tries to stab Fafnir through the back. Fafnir's unstable powers make this virtually impossible for him. Fafnir becomes vaguely aware of Hektur and annihilates both him and a swathe of both land and unfortunate nameless warriors behind him. The cultists try to avenge him, but get slaughtered by a brief alliance of Painkiller, Harold, and the FDI.

Matteo rolls right through the war in his clockwork wagon. Before anyone can stop him, he scoops up a sample of Holy Milk and gets out again. With this, he brings his human flesh golem to life. It rises from the operating table and looks around. It becomes aware of the ongoing catastrophe and warps the land around Matteo's lair into a protected pocket plane. "Hello, Father. The world may be ending. Do you really wish me to save it, or just keep us alive? I hope this is not disrespectful, but I'm not sure which someone like you would prefer."

Adam returns to the active battle at the head of an army of angels and demons. Adam decides to take on both Fafnir and ATHATH at once. Fafnir's unstable power is a major difficulty, but Adam's sword allows him to parry the wild blasts that rip into the demon horde. ATHATH is not so fortunate. Adam and the angels surround him while shouting about righteous vengeance. ATHATH tries to bring down a legendary Demise Mug, but is unable to get the spell off before Heaven finally brings him down. The Mug Dimension shouts in joyous relief at his fall.

The weakened Scrin bomber fires at the FDI and scores some good hits, but the farmers retaliate with a salvaged cannon from the Juggernaut's ruin.

Harold sees the mass death going on all around him. All of this, just for some of that evil cow secretion. Of course, Harold knows just what to do in this situation. The priest dodges forward through the chaos while praying into his flask of water. At the end of the charge, Harold spikes the newly holy water into the puddle. Like the Entropy Milk so long ago, the Holy Milk fizzles and burns up. The only sample left is the portion inside the Grail.

Bedlam and William push into the battle alongside their Frankenanimal and Nod minions. Nobody specifically stops them, but getting through the battle still takes time. It takes just enough time that they only reach the Unholy Pail's corpse in time to see Harold wipe out the Milk. Similarly, Painkiller, an invisible Vaarsuvius, and a ghostly Aaron Blaze with a horde of draconic angels also arrive too late to receive any from the Unholy Pail.

The Grail considers the Holy Milk inside it, sensing the immense potential therein. The Holy Milk is within its grasp, but the enemy within keeps it just out of reach. The Grail decides there's only one way to deal with the problem. It prays for help and the prayer is answered. It receives just enough help to allow it to make that last little leap. The Grail is reunited with the Holy Milk. Grail Team's quest is completed. The True Holy Grail floats into the air, a divine halo lighting up around the ascending mug. The battle still rages all around it.

Finally, the Vikings attempt to wipe everything out after sending an invitation for reinforcements that likely won't have time to arrive. Erik wins his place in Valhalla this day. First, he fights the Scrin to a draw. He grabs Harold and smashes his face into a Pail shard. He then grabs Bedlam and does the same to her in the interests of gender equality. Then he slices at Aaron's ghost and cuts off a horn. His axe shouldn't even have been able to do that, he just makes it work through sheer force of will. He fights some random bears all over the castle ruins until earning their mutual respect. Then he breaks the FDI cannon in half over his knee. Erik then attacks The Arm, but it latched onto his throat and strangled him until Nod flame wagons could finally provide Erik with a true Viking funeral. His warriors also run into the battle, but aren't able to match Erik's rampage. FDI, The Arm, Aaron, and Adam all at once proves to be too great a battle for them.

The Cow escapes the battle by momentarily blending in with the Frankenanimal ranks.

Mug-ATHATH, The Moon, Hektur, Hektur's cultists, Erik, and the Vikings are dead.
 
The Holy Milk has been destroyed, aside from the Holy Grail's sample.

The Holy Grail and Holy Frankenstein now auto-roll 4s on everything. Fafnir gets auto-6s.

The Cow is safe, if anyone was worried about that.

For showing up in exactly two turns, I think that last battle went pretty well for Erik.

Shall we ride with the warriors of Valhalla to fight in the probably-world-ending battle, because seriously that's the only reason this afterlife exists (training to fight in Ragnarok) and there are still people who need killing. Use Valhalla's doors to show up next to literally everyone, and try to kill them, and then claim the milk to make some really good mead. Besides, if it turns out to not have actually been Ragnarok, that's fine, just consider it some practice for the final apocalypse.

"I humbly request on behalf of Kane, our Enlightened Messiah and Great Prophet, an alliance between you and the Brotherhood of Nod."

Florence tilted her head at the diplomat of 'Nod'. What a strange name for a cult! Is it comprised entirely of yes-men?

On any normal day, she would've hooked up with any cultists, if only to slaughter some heroes. Now, she's having too much fun by herself to care about any sort of alliance with a bunch of numbskulls. On the other hand, she could use some more spare parts for her frankenanimals.

With a horizontal slice of her bonesaw, Florence separated the poor chap's head from his shoulders. Stitching his hands to his head, she reanimated both parts and ordered the shambling corpse to send this message back to his master:

"I don't bloody know who or what this Kane is. No doubt that he's a foul, atrociously ugly fanny-faced, drooling, snot-headed, hairy tongued, warty cunt who thinks he's Jesus-come-again. If you want to worship a true goddess, a more useful person, come to me, all of you, and swear fealty to me. Don't try anything, for I am the Supremely Capable, Really Intelligent boffiN, and I will brook no attacks against my person. Now make haste and grovel at your queen's luscious feet!"

Continue fighting. If the Brotherhood of Nod and the Farmers Defense Initiative comes knocking, well... make like an alien invasion and exterminate them all! No extraterrestrial crystals required! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Also, punish Erik by removing his head from his thick neck and adding his corpse to the towering monstrosity under her command. Punish Harold by ordering the monstrosity to devour him. Lastly, scream in rage at the audacity of that Grail upon realizing that he stole the milk and that she cannot get it back, before enhancing herself with dark energies and taking her frustration out on everyone nearby!.

Turn 34

Enjoy some fine wine in heaven with righteous sirs and fine angel ladies

2

You find yourself in heaven and try to set up the party. There aren't any angels available for your party at the moment, because Aaron Blaze and Adam have sent them into battle. That's a bit disappointing. 4. However, Anna shows up with a couple boxes of alternate reality Coca-Cola and a bunch of recently unemployed mug demons. You and the newcomers party on as the conflict below plays itself out.

throw my cloak away revealing that I am not a vampire.
Then continue dancing and sharing milk and apple juice with the other party-goers.


3

You throw away your cloak and reveal to your allies that you're not actually a vampire. You almost doubt yourself for a moment when you promptly burst into flames. However, you were actually standing in the shade at the moment. It was simply an example of the placebo effect in your companions. Once the fire is put out, you break out the milk and apple juice and hand them out to your new friends. You make sure to toss some up to Bothadtam as well.

In a panic, start crafting the necklace of adaptation.

4

You quickly whip up the necklace of adaption while still invisible and teleport away, leaving the battle behind.

Suggest they name the town BARONSTEIN

3

The villagers agree heartily and fetch a new sign to install your name on their village. The sign goes up and you bask in the magnificence of BARONSTEIN. However, the entire village is then switched out with a nearly identical copy from an alternate universe where everything is the same except this village is called Berenstain.

The endgame. FDI moves first and uses catapults to take down the Scrin starship. It crashes into the ground, tearing a deep trench through the dirt by Harold, who tries unsuccessfully to persuade everyone that the Holy Grail is actually a demon. The priest readies his holy sword to hold off any who hold him back from his quest.

Meanwhile, Holy Frankenstein asks his master for direction. Matteo tells him to decide what to do on his own, but requests that the planet itself remain intact. Frankenstein considers the suggestion. "Perhaps you're right. They wouldn't be grateful, not to monsters like us. Wait here a moment, I will use my power to cleanse the world of sentient life." With that, Frankenstein teleports to the battle. He rises into the air and points to the sky. A fleet of Doom Mugs appears above him, and Frankenstein begins monologuing at the forces below. Nobody pays attention. From his secure location, Matteo turns on the TV and flips through various channels while sitting on an enormous couch with his zombears. The channels include a live scrying feed of his creation looming over the world. Also various sitcoms and gameshows, but that's not important.

Among the myriad distractions is a Nod cultist sent to propose an alliance to Dr. Bedlam. Bedlam would normally be interested in such a deal, but instead decides that raw violence suits her more. She mutilates the poor follower of Kane and sends his reanimated head to go deliver a threatening message to his allies. Then, she turns to more personal vengeance. Since Erik is currently dead, Bedlam cuts his head off and merges his corpse into her favorite monstrosity before having the thing attack Harold. The monster attacks Harold and beats him severely until the Arm manages to ward it off and shepherd its master into the chaos of the battle to lose Bedlam's horror. Bedlam then tries to slaughter everyone in sight, but the effort of summoning dark energy strains her patchwork body. A leg falls off and Bedlam is forced to postpone her rampage in order to quickly sow it back on.

William and the Nod troops decide to leave the battle while the FDI are distracted, and finally manage to get the stolen milk for Kane. Kane rewards his loyal servant by taking him to a secret lab for a glimpse of Nod's future. It is a single green crystal in a containment cell.

The giant revenant of Goatsby spots Harold's wounded form in the battle. Goatsby shouts a battle cry and unleashes his hatred. The hate does not work to Goatsby's advantage in this case. It clouds his judgement and allows Harold time to parry his blasts.

The Holy Grail recovers from its ascension and surveys the battlefield. It decides to deploy its full power to try and calm everything. First, it ascends to Heaven, safely out of reach from those who would attack its still-vulnerable physical form. It then uses its will to grip everyone in the battle and force a few moments of peace while it distributes Holy Milk to those who would use it to help others. Adam, Aaron Blaze, and, surprisingly enough, Painkiller accept their gifts. However, Painkiller's gift burns his tongue with its holy nature. He can still drink it, but is unable to do so just yet. Adam also has difficulty once his angels and demons start to wriggle free of the Grail's spell. A demon bumps his arm as it staggers toward the hundreds of victims below and spills the milk. As a god of luck, Aaron's drink goes better. The taste restores him both to full life and full improbable power. Aaron rises up with his angel-dragons and prepares for the moment the battle will resume.

The sky splits open and a path to Vahalla opens. Erik strides reborn from the Bifrost, with the Norse Pantheon at his back and behind them an endless army of the honorable dead. The Grailspell breaks and all the various factions prepare for their final apocalyptic showdown. It's then that a lone voice shouts from the sidelines. Bothadtam yells from his treetop, attempting to stop the fighting.

"Hey, everyone!"
...
"Hey, you there!"
...
"HEY YOU FIGHTING PEOPLE!

Fighting isn't good, and you shouldn't do it. What are you fighting about? I'm a certified conflict resolutionist, maybe I could help? Please?"
Bedlam is the first to react. "Your precious little words are better spent on insulting us!" she retorted. "Pretty much everyone here are committed to fighting! You came to the wrong place with your pathetic pleas of pacifism!"

However, his voice effects two particular combatants strongly. The Norse gods are deeply surprised at someone rejecting Ragnarok for simple "peace". Odin orders his followers to stand down and fight their final battle another day. The other to listen is Holy Frankenstein. Bothadtam proves to him that perhaps this world's life is worth preserving, even if they don't really understand his mercy and will likely destroy themselves in some absurd conflict again someday.

As a result, the Grail-empowered factions are united in the goal of stopping the fight. With the immense firepower of Frankenstein, Aaron Blaze, itself, and soon Painkiller, Adam, and whoever else it chooses to back its words up, the Battle of Castle Adjila is over. The Holy Grail's endless supply of milk soon provides enough for everyone around. There will be conflicts in the new world, of course. Most of the villains are still out there, and they will not be stopped by this. Not even the Holy Grail's milk-powered reign can last forever, and soon there will be something new to fight over.

But, for today, tomorrow, and the foreseeable future, at least everyone finally has enough milk.

I enjoyed reading the first one and I really enjoyed Participating in this one.

I had a lot of fun in this game.

Damn it, I went on holiday just before the very last update.
Applause
Well done, EP. Well done. You have created the most perfect example of a minimalism game, and then followed up with a second game that might just have been even better.

I gave milk to everyone and we all won the game together. I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the game.

That was fun, I was actually debating doing a repeat of last game and rewinding time, but this was better. Another great game EP.

That was great, I'm assuming we're a third(?) timeline now.
(Out of milk the first time, corrected timeline to have milk, went back in time and stole milk to diverge the timeline.)

That said I wonder what details will be important in the next one? That is if you even make a Minimalism and Milk III.

Huh.

Well, that was an interesting ending. Good job as always, EP.

Well, my personal headcanon is that Cassandra tries to escape, but then after everything else, lived a happy life with her friend Potion Spirit.

We all know what happened to Adam, since he showed up in M&M I.

What a great game, EP, even if I'd joined near the end. Still, I'm imagining that Florence is quickly withdrawing in frustration at the heroes' victory to fight another day. I eagerly await the next session.

What happened to Vaarsuvius? When does this take place relative to OotS? Where did Vaarsuvius teleport to? How will Vaarsuvius's relationship with the Sun end?

And who is this mysterious figure ducking behind a building?

Bravo! I can think of few GMs who manage such consistent quality, especially when it comes to minimalist games - and you put so few limits on your players!
I was a little disappointed to see my child not
go with the "annihilating everyone" option after all, but I suppose good parenting is letting them make these kinds of decisions for themselves! ^-^

Thanks for playing, everyone!

I think you're in what could become the "alpha" timeline. The determining event is the outcome of the Holy Grail's reign. If it stays in charge, Timeline 3 happens, which hasn't been explored. If it is deposed eventually, but significantly before 2017, the original game happens, progresses to Chupacabra Earth, and ultimately timeloops itself away before continuing along Timeline 1, but not before a few characters "bleed" outside the timeloop, notably Shaun's milk theft. The theft causes Timeline 2, which ultimately resolves into 1 or 3. I'm pretty sure this is what happened.

Secret miniature yet entirely canon Turn 35

Well, my personal headcanon is that Cassandra tries to escape, but then after everything else, lived a happy life with her friend Potion Spirit.

Implicitly some sort of dice roll, let's say 52

Cassandra tries to escape, but then after everything else, lived a happy life with her friend Potion Spirit.

Official Minimalism and Milk canon post credits scene complete.

What happened to Vaarsuvius? When does this take place relative to OotS? Where did Vaarsuvius teleport to? How will Vaarsuvius's relationship with the Sun end?

And who is this mysterious figure ducking behind a building?

1.He escaped with the Necklace of Adaption.

2.Vaarsuvius' adventures took place between comics 802 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0802.html) and 835. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0835.html) Vaarsuvius had actually lost Yukyuk and left the Semi-Elemental Plane of Ranch Dressing at one point and had the storyline featured here before eventually returning to assist Prince Oozalot and his true love Gootrude. From there, Vaarsuvius eventually reintegrated into the OOTS plot and never talked about this whole weird story again. A side trek into Narnia was responsible for the unusually stretched time from V's perspective

3.The Sun's location, unless you were thinking of somewhere else.

4.They tried a romantic relationship, but it ultimately didn't work out due to the Sun's general antipathy toward organics and Vaarsuvius' more intellectual interests. They remained friends and ultimately teamed up as interstellar/extradimensional private detectives to pay off certain debts until the Sun retired to become a beekeeper.

5.I'm not sure, this sounds like a reference to something I'm not aware of.

I gave milk to everyone and we all won the game together. I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the game.

Hey, I'm glad you and Rethi pulled it off. I was really straining to keep the game going at the end, and your actions gave the game a significantly happier ending than the one I was expecting. Still, Kane from CNC in a giant robot vs the Norse gods might have been fun to write up.

Again, I'm really glad people enjoyed this. I may run a sequel someday, but it'll be a long time if I do. I'm going to enjoy not having to write insane raving every other day for a while, and there's some other projects I've been neglecting.

sorry for inadvertently ending game to those of you who would have preferred it otherwise

thanks for the great time EP  ;D

I mean, these were rhetorical questions, but I'm pretty happy with all the answers.

3: Yes, the Sun's location.

Well, that was a roller coaster of awesomeness: I enjoyed this RTD a lot, and I didn't even expected Anna to die. Also, I really liked that there were dead PCs, unlike the first one, which was, of course, absolutely excellent, but personally felt too forgiving when it comes to the players' deaths. Anyway, until the next time!
