Maybe I'll add a side-weapon slot for ranged weaponry, and add side-weapon to every class?Sounds good.
Sounds good.
I would like some additional stuff, though, for wanderers. We don't have much going for us right now.
Maybe we could get access to some of the better side weapons?

Also, in the exorcist class description, should it say +1 bonus against dark spirits?
Thanks, I'll add the bonus to my active effects.
Also, is the Holy Inquisition Symbol a sort of directed holy energy blast, or an outward explosion of holy energy?
Also, for purposes of damage immunities, resistances, and weaknesses, is ranged damage with physical damage, or a separate category altogether?
I'm talking about it in terms of relation to demons and dark spirits.Also, for purposes of damage immunities, resistances, and weaknesses, is ranged damage with physical damage, or a separate category altogether?
I think it would be good to have it as a different category, or at least a subcategory of physical damage. You'll need a really good protection to stop a high velocity missile, or a strong shield to block it.

I'm interested in the inquisitor class, but I want to know what type of sword they use spesiffically. Is it a longsword, a shortsword, something else?
I am 100% willing to steal from the Inquisition to get one of their swords.
Just sayin'.
And ok.
I'd like to start near one of the peasants or the exorcist if they're not in a group of people already. Claim that I am escorting them for some reason.

Arcane energy, demonic trinkets and dark magic doesnt mix well with holy blessings.

I think I understand the confusion, you're using the wrong English words. Hands have fingers, feet have toes. Also, decapitated means removing the head. You mean severed.

My charm gives me +10 arcane damage to my Dark Tome. Does that affect the effects of low rolls
(Healing)?
impaling the zombie that he threw off, he would invoke the wrath of gods upon it and any other nearby undead.
Carp.
Hold up the brimstone chunk. If that doesn't work, though, shoot the demon.
Also, I noticed that my crossbow only did 30 damage. despite having the ability to do more. I do recognize that that is the amount of health it had left, so I'd like to confirm that this is due to overkill damage not being included.
Ok. So, in other words, it's going to work. Ok.Carp.
Hold up the brimstone chunk. If that doesn't work, though, shoot the demon.
Charms always work. The roll is for belief in their power. If you don't believe that a small chunk of rock or a talisman can stop a demon, then you'll get killed. At 15 Faith you get +1 to charm rolls, at 20 Faith and beyond it's an auto [5].Also, I noticed that my crossbow only did 30 damage. despite having the ability to do more. I do recognize that that is the amount of health it had left, so I'd like to confirm that this is due to overkill damage not being included.
Holy damage doesn't hurt undead but only paralyses them/knocks them dormant, so it's not included. That 5 physical is for melee bashing, so shooting a zombie from a distance gives only base ranged damage - in this case 30.
If the demon becomes a companion, Will we learn about his weaknesses and resistances too? Does it count as a kill for leveling up? Can we talk to the demon for information?
By the way, I've already got an idea for what I want my new ability on level-up to be. Do you want me to run it by you first, Dark?
With prayer and 4xFaith WoG bonus, that'd be about 104 damage against undead. This skill is extreme crowd killer, but the cooldown is long.Unless a second wave of undead arrives from outside it's AOE, this should not only kill off the current undead, but deter/destroy any hidden undead close to joining the fight. I wouldn't expect to gain kills for any hidden zombies killed, though.
Whatever works for you. An easy way is to add colour to character talk and bold for actions, rest would be easily recognisable as OOC.A fair amount of my posts get done on my phone or tablet. Colors aren't very convenient in those mediums.

the demon acts also as a two-way data exchange.Does this mean it will start speaking our language and introduce itself?
The exchange goes only between Pguhyuh's and demon's mind. It'll still speak demonic and you won't understand it. I'll send translations to randomgenericusername in a PM.While true, doesn't that mean in theory he could access pguhyuh's knowledge on human language and just start talking in a semi-distorted and mildly understandable fashion?

The zombie didn't hit you at all. When you were casting at it, the arcane bolt exploded in your hand. Your armor protects you from physical damage, not arcane damage. Regeneration kicks in after each turn, but health doesn't regenerate when you take damage the same turn, you'll need a health regen boosting charm for that.
You should actually be dead, as you deal about 40 damage with torn manuscript and Faith bonus, but taking into account that it was your own bolt I reduced it by half and removed 5 points of splash damage.

Your character might like the unique item the Duke holds. Mostly due to it's origin and story...
((Can I have a Faith Healing skill, you can decide how much HP it regenerates in one go. Would I be able to have it work at a distance or would it need to be a touch based ability?))
While I know I can't level up yet (I'd have loved seeing that WoG carnage :() I do have an idea for my next skill. Essentially, constant cold damage to all nearby enemies, with an ice dragon theme.
(Would Smoke level up too?
Edit: I dont know, the enemies look too strong for me, and arcane magic is very weak against them, is everyone fine with me not participating on it? I dont want me or Smoke to die)
Preferably automatic on enemy appearance, though on a low roll for the ability addition, it might need to be toghleable. It'd be a good way to reliably help kill enemies, while using incorporeality to maintain my own safety.

You still can fire bolts from you crossbow and use your other weapons as dark spirit, but their damage is automatically turned into dark damage.
( I mean, Smoke was there with the others, he should have leveld up)
You can have anything as long as it doesn't go against your class. You want the faith healing to be slow regeneration (2 to 6 HP depending on roll) working as long as prayer does, or single, big health restore (2xroll+1/2Faith) that can be casted without breaking prayer?

The latter option seems best, enemies can do a lot of damage in one go. Would this be a group effect heal, or be limited to single targets?

Mm. Fair enough. I'll attack one of his knights, if that won't cause a problem.

I was planning on retreating up to the roof whenever I only had 1 round of intangibility left, to only come down once I could make it work again, by the way.
It most probably will, since it's a duel both sides agreed to. If you want to kill something, maybe fly away to nearest hallway and check for enemies. A level up is guaranteed after a boss is killed (at first I wanted to make it count only as one kill experience point, but this rewards boss fights better), so if Reynald survives through it, anyone watching the battle will level-up, and the knights would fall re-deaded. And then there's loot you can get from boss and his pawns...
Even if I survive my solo part, im gonna be a few levels behind. What can I do? I kind of need twice as much xp because of my demon and im already missing a few level ups from the fight and the boss.
And you've got amethyst crystals right there. You've got amethyst rod in equipment. Guess why it deals arcane damage and what you can do with those crystals since weapon upgrading is possible...What would happen if I put some amethysts into my crossbow? Or my sword? Or if I cut myself, put an amethyst shard into the cut, and let it heal over?
What would happen if I put some amethysts into my crossbow? Or my sword? Or if I cut myself, put an amethyst shard into the cut, and let it heal over?
What if I'm overthinking this? :P
Ok, adds arcane damage.
Are there damage interactions? Like, what happens when arcane and holy damage are fused? Does my holy crossbow have an issue with me turning into a dark spirit and doing dark damage? What would happen if I made an attack that dealt both fire damage and ice damage?
1) The crystals are clearly a trap :P
2) What can I upgrade with amethyst in my inventory? Is there enough to upgrade everything? Does a roll determine the result? If yes, would a 1 permanently ruin my stuff, make it worse, etc?
So my amethyst rod can do elemental damage?
Might the Duke have something?So my amethyst rod can do elemental damage?
You'll need something that could convert arcane to elemental, a charm or some weapon.

Anyway, the thing I like about the Wanderer class is that we have no weaknesses and we start out at the top of the ranged attack arms race. I happen to like ranged attacks.
Starting with no special skills is kinda annoying, but frankly, I'd say it's the balancing feature, like most classes' weaknesses.
Also, if Aaron survives long enough, I'm going to turn him into an ice dragon. Just saying.
It's going to start with the next level-up, actually. You'll see what I'm doing once that happens.Also, if Aaron survives long enough, I'm going to turn him into an ice dragon. Just saying.
You just need enough power to assume dragon form and keep it up, or get magically turned into a dragon for a constant dragon form.

Waking up after dozing off a bit, Dennis momentarily raises an eyebrow at the sudden angel appearance. Then Dennis turns to the Duke while still sitting in the corner with his pitchfork across his lap.Taunting a duke who still has three soldiers by his side is not a good idea. On top of that, wrath of gods is still on cooldown, so if you get into a fight, I can't save you for at least three more turns.
"Hey, Duke! Feel that stone under your knees? The pain in your skull? That's death comin'. You're about to die. Quiz's gonna gut ya, we're gonna rob ya, and then you're gonna be forgotten. Forever. And there's nothing you can do about it."
Discourage the Duke.
I have the stupid dream of peace between demons and humans. No matter how impossible it is, I cant lose hope.
Also, if I interrupted the duel and killed the Duke in doing so, what would happen? Would his knights die, or attack us?They are already dead technically, So I don't think killing their boss would make them too much deader.

...y'know, just thinking, but I feel like there should be a way to "knight" peasants or something. Something that can help take away some of the penalties that they take.
Maybe Dennis could inherit the title of Duke? And he'd get a bonus to fighting zombies?
Eh, just kinda thinking out loud here. Essentially, I'm saying that there should be some kind of reward for surviving as a peasant. Maybe they're the only ones that can get buffs against enemies that they're weak to. Something.

Demonic Ambassador: All demoms are neutral to me (passive ability) OR Make a demon (or demons, if possible) neutral (skill)
Arcane mastery: Arcane magic wont heal or buff undead (passive ability OR skill?)
Unity: gains 1 faith for each ally or player near me (skill OR passive power)
Dont really know when something would be too strong, so tell me which are fine or not

If for some reason you use that ability on a enemy and roll a 1, chances are you would instakill yourself with it. Especially since you already have a -1 to all combat rolls against spirits undead and demons.
Hypocrisy doesn't nessesarily apply to abilities, and dark one can choose to interpret a bad roll however he wants. If he says you're nobility like you want, you can never use that ability again without risking a instakill on yourself. Not that it has much use to begin with, we have only faced one noble enemy so far and they were a boss fight.

I saw it. I'm pleased with it.Dragonruler Greatsword - needs to be identified by dragon worshipper*snrk*
Sent you a PM with info about the sword.
Hey! I don't have a demon to tank for me, I could use the book more than you.You can already do fire damage, I can only do arcane damage. I need the book to fight undead or i would be sitting doing nothing while both me AND my demon could be both attacking at the same time.
...Why would you even want that book, its made of HUMAN flesh and imbued with demonic power."You could just ask to have the book, or wait for me to hand it to whoever I see fit and get it from them. I won't try to be a expert on demonology, but a wise man once said: 'know thy enemy, and more importantly know thyself'."
Maybe we could just share it, I can read and try to translate the parts you dont understand.
Read book together, if he wants to.
"You could just ask to have the book, or wait for me to hand it to whoever I see fit and get it from them. I won't try to be a expert on demonology, but a wise man once said: 'know thy enemy, and more importantly know thyself'."(So, you are sharing the book, right?)

(How is brimstone obtained?)
"Aaron, you cannot understand how sorry I am to have put you in this predicament. I WILL get you out."Mate, you were out cold because a fake angel tried to kill you. I don't blame you; it was an accident.
(Wait I level up again? and Smoke too?)
((New skill - Divine Protection: Cast on target to increase overall defense for X turns. If it's okay.))
Loot the Cook's corpse, then go over to Quiz and Pguhyuh and translate the book, then claim it as mine."At this rate Neither of you are going to have it. Not even a shred of common decency between both of you."
I hereby claim this book by virtue of being the only one who can read it.
Demonic Familiarity- I gain a bonus for every demonic item I have, and an extra bonus for being in an area of demonic aura.

It's an ancient mix of human and demonic, trust me, odds are I can translate it, and it would be of no use to Pguhyuh, as he can't.You are aware that the reason he was unable to translate was a bad roll, right? It's not assured for you either.
Even still, it was stupid and petty of you not to give me a chance.Why are you being like that, is not like I need to translate it to use it and you go and just take it for yourself. At least im trying to ask him now. You already have fire damage. Maybe if its not that useful for me I will give it to you.
"At this rate Neither of you are going to have it. Not even a shred of common decency between both of you."Part 1: What, precisely, prompted you to decide that they had no decency? And why are you keeping SM from having it? There's no real point in not letting him try to translate, and as he's stated, he currently has no good way to help out in combat. Having the book would certainly help with that.
put the book in my bag and keep it there till some people know common decency among the demonologists. Take the strange flamberge and offer it to Aaron.
"you look like you're developing a bit of a skin rash. Might want to get it checked out when you have a chance. Also, I'm no expert on dragons, but I know you worship them. Maybe you can put this blade to good use?"
keep the amulet to myself for now. I have a feeling it is not an artifact of good intent.
-Without new loot, I'll never be able to deal enough damage to be worthy of loot according to Dustin.Excuse me?
Fake edit: also, just to be clear, after I give away both the dragonruler greatsword and the tome, I will be out-DPS'd by half of the team, with Dennis and Jeremiah being on the lower end.Dennis does 40 damage, and has abilities that let him do significantly more, as well as get guaranteed 6's. Jeremiah, meanwhile, also does 40 damage, has an ability that lets him do 10 more, and is mainly set up as a healer and buffer. SM, meanwhile, can't do more than that on a turn, and that's only once every 4 turns; otherwise, it's at most 20 a turn, and that's if there's no resistances. I think he has the right to complain about his damage output.
don't complain about your low damage output so readily.
2, I WOULD share loot more readily if people remembered that manners do still exist to some extent, or at the very least wait for me to decide who needs it most instead of basically screeching "gimme" at every opportunity when I do find something others want. The word "please" or asking politely do go a long way. This goes true both ICLY and OOCLY.I'm sorry, but who put you in charge of deciding who needs what most? It's a Demonologist item, you should let them figure it out between the two of them. I feel that when there is an item that's clearly meant for a certain class (or set of classes), then members of other classes shouldn't really be interfering with their ability to use the item - especially if they do so by preventing any of the intended users from using it.
Also, I would like to point out that most items are usable regardless of who wields them. The only limitation imposed is that they may not reach full effectiveness if they are not used by the correct class. The severity of this penalty is unknown as of yet, and so far we have not reached any situation where it would be noticeable.It probably varies by class and item. For example, you or I could likely use the Dennis's pitchfork well enough (disregarding only doing 10 damage), as we're both used to using far heavier equipment, but I don't really think Dennis could use a greatsword all too well (may have changed with dukehood, but who knows). Meanwhile, I don't think that you or NRDL could use the arcane book bound in human skin, since you're both holy people; the magic would probably backfire in some way or another. Similarly, I doubt that the demonologists (or myself in spirit mode) could use NRDL's holy symbol very well, as they both derive the power from demonic sources, essentially the opposite of holiness.
Edit: Was about to suggest an alchemist class cause I thought it would be fun, but couldn't think of any actual equipment. So im gonna do wanderer and pick up alchemy-y type abilities as/if I level up once I get in, if it's ok with DarkOneDark One is OK with pretty much anything. My very first level-up gave me the ability to turn intangible, which I'm pretty sure put me at the top of the power level in the group, despite being lower level than some of our other guys at the time. One level-up could probably get you some very potent item-crafting abilities.
Yeah, I just looked and it does seem kind of redundant.
Also, what type of alchemy are you trying for? Potions? Magic?
How about enchanted flasks? You stuff a mixture in one, and then toss it like a grenade or something, then after it breaks, another one takes it's place in your bag. Maybe it would allow you to control your damage type to a extent. Take a turn to dump out and make a new mix on the fly.Yeah, I just looked and it does seem kind of redundant.
Also, what type of alchemy are you trying for? Potions? Magic?
Possibly semi-magical but more restorative stuff and potentially elemental damage like pastes to rub on weapons or volatile chemical mixtures (the volatile stuff would be combat skills, cause you have to use em as you make em)
Edit: I wanted a person trying to use science in this world of magic, even if it's just applying science to magic
I think I know who put the joke answer...
By the way, can I check if that sapphire necklace aids my cold damage now?
EDIT: And my loadout will pretty much always be "wanderer's cloak, my best melee weapon, my holy crossbow, my buckler", with the second one currently being the DR Greatsword.
Intangibility kinda makes the crossbow moot, since I don't really have to worry about range, but it's good for enemies weak to holy damage.
EDIT2: Idea for sub-class:
Dragonruler
-Bonuses to elemental damage
-Bonuses to negotiation with sentient entities
-Bonuses to finding equipment
-Ability to enchant items
Sound good?
Yep, I've got first-hand experience with that... :/EDIT: And my loadout will pretty much always be "wanderer's cloak, my best melee weapon, my holy crossbow, my buckler", with the second one currently being the DR Greatsword.

Intangibility makes you weak against holy and banishment, so if you'll get in a fight against several dark spirits and NRDL adds and uses a skill like WoG against dark spirits, you'd be fried.
Fair enough. Temporary enchantments can last pretty long, anyway, and I can just reapply them.EDIT2: Idea for sub-class:

Every class is able to enchant items with right tools. You'd have to be a god or extremely good enchanter to add enchantment on items through focus forwarding alone. Temporary enchantments (buffs on weapons) would be ok though.

(I was asleep, did I miss anything? Also, I am fine with Dustan choosing who gets the loot, after all, he did kill the boss in a solo duel.)
You didn't die, Dark One is just messing with you.(I was asleep, did I miss anything? Also, I am fine with Dustan choosing who gets the loot, after all, he did kill the boss in a solo duel.)Spoiler: Yes, you did (click to show/hide)
Ok, i thougth I had actually died. :(You didn't die, Dark One is just messing with you.(I was asleep, did I miss anything? Also, I am fine with Dustan choosing who gets the loot, after all, he did kill the boss in a solo duel.)Spoiler: Yes, you did (click to show/hide)
EDIT: Also, other things that I had been thinking about with the Green Dragon's Spirit had been tripping up my enemies, and doing (small) amounts of physical damage when they're touching bushes (maybe 5 every other turn, 5 every turn if it already has thorns) as well as entangling them.
And another thing, less powerful than the ents but certainly more powerful than those two things - being able to have plants grow into corpses and essentially give us plant zombies that work for us.
Overall, maybe have that have a 4 turn cooldown, have the ents take 6 turns, and have the others be constant effects (the former being a small (i.e. 1 in 6) chance to trip enemies on each turn and the latter being pretty situational).
Speaking of the alch. class... think we could maybe expand the player limit to 8? Abe and Wolf could be people that we find while exploring the keep.
Dennis tips his rumpled hat to the two demigods as they return underground, and then follows Aaron.
EDIT: By the way, Dustan, want my old espadon? It's not the Greatsword, but it's better than the weapons you have now.
EDIT2: Was looking at SM's character sheet. I don't think he'll have difficulty keeping up damagewise now. :D
That being said... what kind of damage? Is it arcane? Dark? Fire? Whatever he wants it to be? Just generic damage, with no resistances to it? What kind is it?
What if it deals more than one type, like his dark ember?EDIT2: Was looking at SM's character sheet. I don't think he'll have difficulty keeping up damagewise now. :D

The kind of damage that weapon/skill does. He won't be able to shoot arcane bolts from Dennis' pitchfork for example, so he won't get arcane bonus when attacking with it, only physical.
An espadon is not the Greatsword. Capitalized. Said with a the instead of an 'a'. If I refer to "the Greatsword", it's the Dragonruler, up until we get another magic greatsword.EDIT: By the way, Dustan, want my old espadon? It's not the Greatsword, but it's better than the weapons you have now.
Actually, it is a greatsword, just not as powerful as Dragonruler. I made up it's name of real greatsword name - Spadone, though espadon in french and spanish (espadón) means swordsman.
I noticed that the and capitalization. Name clarification was there for anyone that would for some reason want to google it and come up with countless images of a fish...XD Yep, I did that. Swordfish sword!
XD Yep, I did that. Swordfish sword!
Water magic enchantments, I presume.XD Yep, I did that. Swordfish sword!
That's not a bad idea for a unique rapier-alike unique sword. Not literally a swordfish, but stuff like fin stylised hilt and fishy ornaments...
Dennis tips his rumpled hat to the two demigods as they return underground, and then follows Aaron.There was only demigodess. God of war stayed in the cavern.
Yes, yes, you're very funny. The scales are only because of my bloodline; any changes to your appearance would only appear as a temporary translucent aura when you used the magicks.
"I think I'll...have to say no. My own tricks are working fine for me." Dennis seems contemplative for a moment. Then he turns back to Aaron. "So, how far do ya think the transformation will go?" Dennis raises his arms above his head like wings for a moment. "You think you'll be like one o' them big 'uns, flyin' about and burning things?"Ye saw how the Duke could turn into a dragon and such? That was because he had the Dragonruler Greatsword.
"I'm more than a bit worried. What sort of force could corrupt formerly good men into twisted monsters, and allow it's dark servants to masquerade as divine beings? The duke and the fallen angel might be dead, but I fear whatever commanded them might bend us to their foul will."It appeared to me that the Duke was unaware of his condition; recall, he questioned "What trickery turns armed men into dust?". I suspect that to him, it must have appeared that we were the fearsome beasts.
Actually, wait. Hi everyone, I can get in again. I'll have an action for you probably early tommorow, so if you can hold out until then, that would be great.you have until 4PM tomorrow at the latest to post it. That's when he normally gets on and starts writing the turn if he hasn't done it at 6 in the morning for whatever reason.
Because 6 in the morning for us is midnight for him. 4 PM means that he's sufficiently awake, because it's 10 in the morning where he is.Actually, wait. Hi everyone, I can get in again.

"I believe there may be a mausoleum on the keep's grounds where they are being raised. We need to seal it off or purge them from it if we want to maintain the keep as a safe harbor. I will save the wrath for it, and fight them toe-to-toe."Well enough.
Would the bit of arcane damage on the cleaver mean that it could strengthen the undead, or would it be nullified by the physical and dark damage, or even just have only a small total effect?it's random. You could cause them to heal or get buffed by that amount, or you could just one shot them with a roll of 5 even though they had 200+ hp. At least that's how I understand it.
No, I mean does the damage amount effect it, so as it is only 5 damage would it make it have less of an effect than, say 30 arcane damage?Would the bit of arcane damage on the cleaver mean that it could strengthen the undead, or would it be nullified by the physical and dark damage, or even just have only a small total effect?it's random.

I only ever lost 10 health, just checked.Then the cook died, you leveled up, and gained 10 max health (but no gain to actual health). You lost 10 health, and then your cap gained 10 health, leaving you with a final difference of 20 health.
What is the new tome "wave" attack?
Still one? I guess there is nothing for it, if I wait things will get worse.Turquoise. Cyan.
me. have you tried lime?Still one? I guess there is nothing for it, if I wait things will get worse.Turquoise. Cyan.

They look pretty similar...

The knight and the 10hp soldier should be dead before the next update occurs. Focus on something else.
Crossbowman is already re-dead. You only have regular soldiers left to pick from viably.The knight and the 10hp soldier should be dead before the next update occurs. Focus on something else.
I still need to make sure that the one attacking me dies, but I'll switch the charm to the crossbowman, despite Dustan's probably wise advice.
(Is there a way I can change the Dark Bolt skill? Its useless because it only affects a single weapon, which I didnt start with)You could enhance it on your next level up, like I did to create crushing counterstrike.
EDIT2: Also, if I can see the zombie attacking Vi, go and save her. Otherwise, continue demolishing our enemies. And please, this time, remember my snowstorm cold aura.
I'd like to remind you of the constant 20 cold damage per turn to each enemy...
There are two crossbowmen, right? One was destroyed, but the other one is still up and shot my opponent.
Play my Horker's horn, then run away and find a place to heal up. My weapon is now a kopesh (an egyption hooked sword designed to disarm your opponent.)
Could the cleaver become a shield, or is it just weapons?
Sorry to say I don't have as much time to devote to this game, so you can permanently off my character if nobody wants to use him. Thanks for letting me play.
I would, but that might be a conflict of interest since it means I would be leveling up for him. Not to mention I already have a character.Sorry to say I don't have as much time to devote to this game, so you can permanently off my character if nobody wants to use him. Thanks for letting me play.
I'll autopilot your character through this last battle, if someone would want to take it then it'll stay. Otherwise I'll put you in cold storage, so if you'd want to play again and there'd be free spot then you could play again.
Bye NRDL. :(
Can classes weak to Dark Spirits still take Turn Incorporeal as a level-up ability?
You're going to craft an artifact are you? Hope you got enough supplies.Bye NRDL. :(
Can classes weak to Dark Spirits still take Turn Incorporeal as a level-up ability?
Yes, but in a way that won't give them any bonus against dark spirits and the penalty will stay.
Also, sorry guys, but I don't feel like writing an update today. Kinda strange, as I'm not in a bad mood or tired, just don't feel like updating this night.
Dark One cancels update: Fey Mood
At least he's gonna get skills from it, wouldn't it be horrible if he was possessed insteadThat's only if he gets what he needs to make it! The rest of them go insane!
True, but he'd still be no better off possessed in that case. Gotta look at the bright side, hence my post.No no no, you're doing it all wrong! You're supposed to hope for the best and prepare for the worst!

When do we get to make Height Keep our castle, and start moving this into nation-running territory?After we give a demigod a tie to her father and eliminate a dark lord in the east. Just a plan though.
What dark lord?
There's always a dark lord
I have no Idea what that is (other than a house), but it looks great, did you 3d model that yourself?
Apparently, there was some maintenance going on with the system the forums are based on, so all forums that were based on that system were down. It's not your fault, Dark One.

Welcome to the party, alchemist guy. Im Pguhyuh, and this demon next to me is Fzbxr. Fzbxr, be polite and greet the man please.
(How many kills until Smoke level ups again?)
((I am pretty sure that we havn't met in character yet))I jus assumed that the rooms were one next to the other, and since Aaron is there I would have followed him after a moment and noticed you. Also Smoke has infravision and can see through walls so I could have walked there.
If I can transfer my kills to him, do that and have him transform into a more powerful demon.

Vivian looks visibly uncomfortable about the demon
Umm, you sure that thing is safe? In my experience they try to kill people just because
Okay, just one kill.If I can transfer my kills to him, do that and have him transform into a more powerful demon.
You can transfer only fresh kills - the ones from latest turn. Once next turn happens, the kills are locked. This would give smoke 1 kill, two to next level.
Still not sure I trust it, but for now I can't be picky anywayDont worry about him, he is friendly. Dont judge a book by his cover, not all demons are bad just like not all humans are good.

If you want anything about him, maybe you should ask him.
Well. We're all here. Plus a sex demon. Okay, why not.
Go deeper?
I think the correct term is "Incubus"It would be incubus, but this is not an incubus, its just a generic lust filled demon, Incubi look mostly human so they can seduce human women.
I mean, sex demons are called incubus or succubus, depending of the gender. This one is clearly not one of those.Well. We're all here. Plus a sex demon. Okay, why not.

"I don't care what kind of demon it is! Send it away, or at least make it halfway decent before I am forced to kill it!"Already ordered him to put it away, no clue why he's following my orders though.
Put that thing away now!
See if my cleaver can become a shield. Order the demon to put it back in his pants and stand guard.
I was actually hoping to avoid or kill that particular demon.
Dont think of gods as omnipotent and perfect, everything has their faults and we know even gods can die.The arcane is not the will of the gods, it is what godly energy becomes when it is forcibly torn from a body. When the first devils were thrown to the pit, their godly energy came off them as they fell and became arcane.
I think the arcane is something beyond them.
I dont think they "fell". The demons were already there, and the gods just opened the doors. Maybe we are the monsters to them, maybe they are forced to fight us.
Of course, these are just theories.
There is no way for us to know that. Anything related to the origins of demons is probably from many eons before humans.Not all that was long ago is lost to the sands of time.
All you have said since we meet is like that. Stop being so vague and give straight answers.I'd rather like to get along with you. Your goal is noble, and history itself agrees that it is possible. Once upon a time, demon's had a culture like ours, it was so long ago it has fallen to myth, but that does not make it any less true. It can happen again, and if you wish to see that day, I would gladly fight beside you to see it. I agree, I tire of senseless arguments, but as for why I speak in riddles, you would not like it if I spoke the full truth, simply believe me on that.
We clearly dont like each other now, can we stop arguing please? I dont feel like talking to you anymore.
...The problem is that I dont belive you anymore. Sorry.And I don't blame you for that.
Nobody asked about them and I forgot about it. I've been explaining most of game mechanics on the run when they applied, and most of them made it to OP. I'll describe the ones you asked about here them copy it to OP.49 pages and nobody bothered to ask. Oh my. :P
Could you join the secound group please (me and Dustan)? We are just 2 players and the mission might be hard for just us.Place me here, good GM :D Newbie reporting in \o/

"I think you need to take a moment and emotionally distance yourself from the demon.

Either way you're not intimately related to it, so stop acting like it's your spouse or child."
march on. Preferrably matching speed with Seymour.
Resistances and immunities though...Still, at least mention the effect that the cold aura has on it, or mention that the cold aura happened. As far as I could tell, you just forgot.
Chances are that I'll be taking a month off to work abroad before college, which means that I'll have to halt the rtd during that time. There's also a chance that I'll get work in my local area, but I'm not sure about this one. Let's enjoy next few updates before the inevitable...Congrats! It's too bad that the game'll have to be put on hold, but I don't think anyone will be mad at you if your job sometimes gets in the way of play.
(Can I modify the dark bolt skill I never use into another skill, but without using my +1 skill on level up? like, I want to remove it and instead have +5 hp regeneration like "transfering" the skill to improve another?? prob impossible but it boyhers me that it will just affect a single weapon I dont even started with.)
[Aaron: 6, Darkfallen: 3] Without waiting for the dark spirit to gain better visibility of surroundings, Aaron charged, stabbing darkfallen through it's chest. He forgot that in spirit form, physical damage he dealt was turned into dark damage and significantly healed the dark spirit, dealing only minor fire damage!Before I read the rest of the post: no, it only does dark damage to physical opponents. Against other dark spirits, it's a direct attack. Darkfallen is dead. There's no healing there.
Seriously, as a dark spirit, what powers do I have other than being incorporeal?
You only have powers of your character + being incorporeal. You're not gaining any more powers for turning your body from corporeal to energetical one. You still can use your weapons, but they deal raw damage to dark spirits (hurt them directly) and dark damage to all other enemies. It's not like you're turning into incorporeal, energetical monstosity from underworld, rather like turn your body into energetical for a while.
I'll lower your level by 1, not stripping you off skills or stats, but increasing kill requirement if you want to do something like that. This is to prevent someone from suddenly changing all the obsolete skills that he started with/build up with levels.So, my level is reduced and I will need more kills to level up than normal? If I can get rid of it to make my regen better then ok.
I guess this dark spirit absorbs dark damage, unlike others. In those cases your physical damage, dark damage as a spirit, would be able to bypass the ghostly physical invunerability or something like that.[Aaron: 6, Darkfallen: 3] Without waiting for the dark spirit to gain better visibility of surroundings, Aaron charged, stabbing darkfallen through it's chest.

You still can use your weapons, but they deal raw damage to dark spirits (hurt them directly) and dark damage to all other enemies. It's not like you're turning into incorporeal, energetical monstosity from underworld, rather like turn your body into energetical for a while.
dark damage to all other enemies.That is, not dark spirits. As stated, against dark spirits, it's just damage.
[Aaron: 6, Darkfallen: 3] Without waiting for the dark spirit to gain better visibility of surroundings, Aaron charged, stabbing darkfallen through it's chest. He forgot that in spirit form, physical damage he dealt was turned into dark damage and significantly healed the dark spirit, dealing only minor fire damage!It's a dark spirit.
Maybe it has an ability to absorb damage from other dark spirits just because you always use that ability and its too strong?-_-
Pretty sure Tir was going to be joining your group.I did say put me where you'd like me to be :P But then I initially said something like that too .-.; I could help out on the tinier group though, but it seems too late for that D:
EDIT: Never mind, I was confused. Whoops.
I recall that they said that they wanted to be with you guys...
Darkfallen is dark spirit base type, but what is a difference between it and other dark spirits? It's corporeal, dark spirits can't be corporeal on it's own - you deal damage to a host, a zombie it possessed and when it falls apart, only then you'll be able to hurt the dark spirit as it would leave the body. That's why Aaron did dark damage instead of raw damage that bypasses pretty much everything, he hurted a possessed zombie....
[5] Before they left, Smoke used his infravision to determine from which part of the keep the noise came. He noticed a tall and skinny figure banging on reinforced cell doors that led to dungeon. The doors barely held on against the force of that being. Smoke went to others and said: Watch out, the thing would break out of dungeon soon, and it is a strong one. - then returned to rest of his group.
[2] There it was - a tall figure in the distance. They couldn't see it too well in the darkness, but it was running quickly. From afar it shouted: From your bones I shall make myself an armor!
[Naablvat: 3, Darkfallen: 1] The horned demon turned ablaze and charged at the dark spirit, impaling it on it's massive horns then throwing it off them, smashing it against the ground!
[1] Well that dark attack just healed it, and that's what adding ghost dust did to my powder. I need another option - Vivian said looking around nervously, but she haven't noticed that darkfallen dashed between others and grabbed her!
[Vivian: 3, Darkfallen: 4] The dark spirit put a choke hold on alchemist's neck and put second hand on Vivian's face, starting to sap her life away! Alchemist desperately raised her rapier and stabbed it in chest, blocking life drain but still remaining in dark spirit's clutches.
Ok, so wait, the Darkfallen is now incorporeal, yes?
the demon lord can probably instantly kill everyone in the team and has an extreme ammount of health.
so uh what if everyone runs way and I distract it or something cause it should be neutral to me.
I have a terrifying idea that just might work, we need to work together to co-bind the demon lord.
I have a terrifying idea that just might work, we need to work together to co-bind the demon lord.
You are in entirely different place...
I have a terrifying idea that just might work, we need to work together to co-bind the demon lord.No, he will prob resist, and we both have demons already. And you are not even here.
You have demonic ambassador so it won't attack you, but it will go against the rest. There is no nobility within demons. A demon lord is basically a high tier demon in endless demonic hierarchy. Anything higher than demon lord is a boss. Depending on conversation rolls, it might be able for them to escape. But then, it might give chase. Seymour should be on par with Maelstorm if not a bit weaker, lightning powers are a big advantage for the demon. But then Seymour is heavily buffed melee murder machine.The plans are still wip
Also, make your plans in bold, so I won't miss them when writing turn.
"Quod non est inanis timentibus!"Okay I was gonna diplomacy but you screwed everyone with your suicide attack. ::)
Charge the demon and Sacrifice myself to distract it away from the others!
Y'know, since the turn is not posted yet, he hasn't screwed anyone yet. He can always change it. And you could always get a 1 on diplomancy."Quod non est inanis timentibus!"Okay I was gonna diplomacy but you screwed everyone with your suicide attack. ::)
Charge the demon and Sacrifice myself to distract it away from the others!
most demons are immune to holy damageI'm still not wholly clear on why this is, by the way.
You have demonic ambassador so it won't attack you, but it will go against the rest..I doubt any diplomatic move you try will work for ALL of the party, so I am doing the most logical thing I have available to me: engaging the target to distract them.
You WILL die, with me. I wanted you to warn everyone else so we could fight it together (Except me, cause dead distraction)He is only slightly more powerful than Seymour, but more importantly he is ALONE. I believe that between the three of us, we can take him down without banishing, though it might be substantially more difficult.
I guess we will both heroic sacrifice then.
Edit: I would call Smoke back to support us, but I dont want him to die either. It was said that the demonlord was stronger than Seymour (a GOD of WAR), and I dont want him to die too. Thats why I wanted diplomacy, to avoid the fight. Now the only chance of survival is that banish works.
If everything fails, I will ask Seymour to collapse the entrance, so the demon lord can't enter the keep.
Okay, when he takes Lyirah to a safe place, I will have Smoke tell him to help us in the fight, if he wants.NPCs are controlled by the GM, who knows what's happening and is generally trying to get the players to do what they're supposed to do. Players don't, and would often rather do other things. NPCs probably know more about what to do than players do.
Also, about Smoke, What happens to bound demons when the master dies? If its something bad, I will break the bond just before I die.
(srry I value NPC lives over player lives)
I only knew the name of a single person in the party.Aaron Blaze, dragon-worshipping wanderer dude, reporting in.

We still need the Darkfallen itself in enemy types.
Sorry, I kinda check that stuff pretty quickly. I can be a bit impatient. :/We still need the Darkfallen itself in enemy types.
I just posted the turn and updated char sheets. I was just about to add it, it takes a few minutes to update everything.
I wonder if I could've done a conditional action x.x I feel inefficient and idle.
Sorry, I kinda check that stuff pretty quickly. I can be a bit impatient. :/
What does Reynald's "+1 evil" mean?It means I gained a point of evil due to my juxtaposition effect. It causes me to gain faith for every 20 damage dealt in one hit, or evil if I use sacrifice to do it. Evil is mentioned to a small extent on the main post.
"You're welcome, mage. I take payment in gold and spells."
Rest.
Blast the demon lord with my arcane tome and torn manuscrit, it is stuck to the ground, so it can't move. Telepathy talk with Smoke, ask him if he is fine.
I mistyped your character's health Dustan. It's not 5, but 55, sorry for that mistake.I was wondering about that...
Blast the demon lord with my arcane tome and torn manuscrit, it is stuck to the ground, so it can't move. Telepathy talk with Smoke, ask him if he is fine.
(Even then, the other tome also deals arcane damage and fire damage. I should have used the arcane damage, I specified to attack with arcane.)
Use DARK tome to attack the demon lord with arcane magic damage and also using my torn manuscrit charm to boost the arcane damage.
I'm being incredibly useless in this battle. Sorry.
Inquisitor, stop pushing yourself too hard. The effort is slowly killing you.
4 turns cooldown to fit in with almost all other skills, and it was 6 for learning it so it has to have a drawback.I kinda thought that 6 was like 'better than 5 but with a drawback' :P

"You are doing what you can friend, it is probably just a spot of poor luck. I will gladly lay down my life to protect you and the others from the darkness in the east."The... East? No, that is not possible. Eylru, the city is in the east... My home... They couldn't have died so easily.
Where's my action?
Lysander cancels perform action: Dennis did it first!Don't go stealin my text color brah!
Did Dennis actually do 120 points of damage to the knight, or did resistances cut it down?

"Seymour is gone. This does not bode well for our travels, as the dark cathedral and it's ruler will know where we are for sure. Still, we are alive, and more importantly we have triumphed in the face of adversity."Wait, don't touch anything.
check up onand tend to the wounds of the others, then investigate the ember. Perhaps it could be used to enhance my blade in some permanent form, or be of use to the lyirah?
Has everyone done an action? Or are we missing people?It looks like everyone has posted, but dark one has not yet been online.
Blame it on working my ass off and being lazy and tired. And that's non profit, as I help my father o in his workshop, and today I spent whole day at my stand during local festival (people only asked for a price, but nobody took anything, and the prices were considerably low). I'll update later, after a bit of work on one of my personal projects.It's alright dark. We all have lives. Don't feel pressured to update when you're helping family or doing something you want to.
I'll update tomorrow evening. When working on my project, I squashed one bug, though another one is much more resistant. It insists to become a feature, but bugs in editors are hardly a material for one...Creepers were buggy pigs. Sometimes, bugs are the best part (see Goat Simulator).
Tiruin didn't post an action, so I auto-pilotted his character this time....Her character is thankful :P
Alchemist can have a bonus to the arcane constructs.
Why is banish on cooldown?
No he doesn't.
Enhanced Make bond - turns demon into companion as long as player wills it, then banishes it, first bond is without price, every next takes 5 Faith and HP more with each bond
The sooner we reach our target, the better."Agreed. Lingering will only draw unwanted attentions, and may weaken lyirah. This doesn't mean we shouldn't be cautious."
Waiting for Wolfchild, but I feel like updating tomorrow anyway. Today I'll only add enchanter to classes and extend player limit by 2.How would it bypass arcane immunity if its another type of damage?
Introducing new damage type - anti-magic damage. It is able to block arcane damage and bypass arcane immunity, but is not as effective against other magic-based damage types.
All the magic in this rtd derives from arcane...But what if some of it is derived from dragons?
And I would like to be able to fly :PTake it with your next level-up, then.
Changing faith bonus to increased capacity would be much less tedious to do during updates, but I'll also have to change faith scaling for Serrana. Maybe three uses of skill would permanently increase the capacity? So it won't be spam-increase skill with this and cooldown.Yep :3 That'd do well, thanks! Increase per skill use means me using it in the best applied context, and since we can only post an action per turn, it's going to be pretty pretty, to see.
The skill would work just good with faith healing.
Okay."I cannot say for certain, all I know is that in going in search of Lyirah's heritage, we are going straight towards a true fallen angel. One who has twisted the minds and souls of the city they rule over and draws both the living and dead to worship them. I have little doubt they were responsible for the duke's rise from his grave, and I can tell they know about me."
... A while ago, you said something about the darkness in the east. What do you know about it? My home is far in the east, a land with great libraries and many scholars like me. Do you think other places outside of Axewrath are safe from the danger?
Wait, is the gargoyle still attacking me, or just immobilizing me?

A god was the one who let the undead, demons and dark spirit free, if an angel rebels against him, doesn't that make him an ally to us? Peace between humans and undead... this fallen angel might be the answer to end this futile war and bring peace to these lands.

"At no point did I say that he rebelled, I said he had fallen. Regardless,I doubt that any angel seeking worship has the intent of bringing peace.The gods were the ones who forsaken us. Most are just big powerfull bastards with heads filled with ego and pride. They never cared for us at all, they just wanted us to worship them and not expect anything in exchange! The most they have done for us is punish and curse mortals and kill thousands with their powers. They are not our future, they will be our end.
If the gods intended to let this disaster happen, there is a reason. The war ended ages ago, but now we fight for our survival.
Do not forsake your gods so readily, demonologist. After all, they are responsible for lyirah's presence with us. I am of the belief that this event is not just to force humanity to concider the error of their ways, but perhaps is meant to test lyirah and her kin. Perhaps they are our future.
This is a trial for all of us, and failure may have the highest cost."
Dustan please don't cause the first teamkillI think it's too late to stop the first teamfight. Probably won't be the first teamkill if I can help it.
;-; im so deadDustan please don't cause the first teamkillI think it's too late to stop the first teamfight. Probably won't be the first teamkill if I can help it.
Either way, I'll hold off on any pvp actions till next turn.
He agrees that darkness is not evil by itself, but he does not trust the motives of the fallen angel and already knows a lot about nature of the undead, being an inquisitor. What he's been interpreting the conversation as in a nutshell is:;-; im so deadDustan please don't cause the first teamkillI think it's too late to stop the first teamfight. Probably won't be the first teamkill if I can help it.
Either way, I'll hold off on any pvp actions till next turn.
why did i had to go with the knight templar and try to explain that darkness is not evil
Goodness gracious. That is RPing ._.
Questions: Can I use my improved charm to boost arcane embers? Does it boost just arcane damage or can also boost fire damage? Can I use all my abilities and skills on a single turn? If I do something like "Defend" or "Dodge" do I get bonus to defensive rolls? Could you cause Lyirah to stop the fight before it starts? Can I PM actions?
Rest. I will need my strength if the demonologist turns on me, or something hostile shows up.spoilers im not going to turn on you
If I best Qloth in a one-on-one duel, do I get the position of Dragonmaster?
"and what is to say that a god did this? Why isn't it a human, perhaps an angel that caused this? We don't know who is truly responsible, but I know there used to be far more humans than gods. What is to say some scholar didn't delve too deep into dark arts, and bring about the destruction we see now in their desire for power?Demons don't have leaders, war and murder is not the answer. You still try to accuse someone else, but you know that the gods were guilty of everything. And you don't know what are you talking about scholars, they are scientists, investigators and researchers, they dont delve at all in any kind of stuff you could call dark arts! Is your answer to everytihg to murder something? Your violence will lead to your doom.
I will not claim knowledge of demonic society, but there is always a general to any army. If you find them, you find your chance to bring peace. It may be a bloodied peace, but it will be peace."
Shadow Dragon form, force the vines to painfully remove themselves, more cold aura, kill the Brute.
Updated character sheets.I know. That's why I want to kill this so badly.Shadow Dragon form, force the vines to painfully remove themselves, more cold aura, kill the Brute.
Can't wait to see how shadow dragon form would work out. Also, only 1 kill needed to level up.
Scum? We just meet him and you have already insulted him."you thought I was talking to the undead? You're dumber than you look. Enjoy your chat with a corpse. I've got better things to do, scum."
Well, someone decided to bring up gods and religion in an argument and she left us here. No idea where is she now. Why are you looking for her? Also I want to say that this is the first time I have meet an undead that didn't try to kill me instantly and instead decided to talk. What is your name?
Try to pacify the undead, distraction too,
talk stuff. Smoke will protect me from any flame attacks.
"you thought I was talking to the undead? You're dumber than you look. Enjoy your chat with a corpse. I've got better things to do, scum."Shpx lbh
Well, this is just becoming foolish name calling.To be fair, both characters made their cases, and neither of them agree with each other. Both are quite tired of reasoning, and both have things they would rather do than interact with eachother.
((Is my 5 holy, 5 physical applicable equaling 10 damage? Because my charm adds +5 Holy damage :P)
Have Stumpy attack the dark spirit, have Naablvat rest.
(I can't wait for next lvl up, im really low level for trying the nonviolent path and I want some sort of ability that makes pacification and diplomacy easier.)
Very true, it kind of makes me sad I have made no allies and just enemies with everyone in the team.Well, this is just becoming foolish name calling.To be fair, both characters made their cases, and neither of them agree with each other.

Uh, she is kind of trying to get away from us. I dobut that you will be able to climb fast enough when she has a flying gargoyle.Just because she is flying doesn't mean she will be fast. Besides, something that large should be fairly visible.
Lysander considers you an ally, maybe not a friend, but definitely an ally. Also, he knows some stuff about the demon king.what is your backstory a whole book or something stop knowing stuff about everything
And no, he doesn't have an Old Man Henderson-esque backstory of doom.
Um...
I have a sword -_-
That was what I was using, why didn't I use that -_-
Is there a way to remove curses?
((I had no idea that would happen as such either :V I mean what and how does another's charm have the PASSIVE effect on doing all that?!))
((Where are my +1's to anything I do despite having 20 Faith??))

(Shouldn't Smoke Hunter be a level 4 demon, not 3? Smoke had to reach level 4 before transforming, and the horned demon (A level 4) was one of the options to evolve into.)
Edit: I am fairly sure that smoke hunter is level 3. He started a smoke imp, became a smoke phantasm and then turned into a smoke hunter.
Dark one, you called serrana an Inquisitor instead of an exorcist. You also forgot to apply penalties and bonuses.
Could a Wanderer hypothetically take a level-up skill that gave them a +1 to all rolls?
Of course you wouldn't. I'm quite clearly a Dragon Priest.Could a Wanderer hypothetically take a level-up skill that gave them a +1 to all rolls?
You could grind up Faith, but knowing me, I'll most likely forget about all bonuses and call you a peasant or demonologist....
What is that?
(Wait I level up again? and Smoke too?)
Yep, when boss dies, everyone levels up. To become stronger demon, Smoke needs one more level up. You either add him skills all the time, or keep two levels to make him stronger type.((New skill - Divine Protection: Cast on target to increase overall defense for X turns. If it's okay.))
Don't see anything wrong with this skill.
I've been wondering where my Faith bonuses are :PDark one, you called serrana an Inquisitor instead of an exorcist. You also forgot to apply penalties and bonuses.
Double checked, and you're right... Now I'm sure that I really need that break if I mix up and mistake classes... I forgot only about Serrana's bonuses and penalties. I usually leave overshots unchanged by penalties or bonuses, so Dennis' rolls are unchanged.
The doubled efficiency for dragon-related charms means my skills, right? Because if it doesn't it's really supposed to, given that I don't think I have anything otherwise categorized as a "charm" (such as the brimstone chunk) that involves dragons.
Does my Second Wind ability require a roll?
I deal non-elemental damage to physical enemies
No, currently, my Spirit Walking ability has me turn into a Dark Spirit, so I deal Dark damage to physical entities, physical damage to ethereal entities (as in, I'm attacking them on the same "plane of existence" that they're in, so it's direct), and am negatively affected by banishments and Wrath of God. I want to upgrade the old ability so that while I still deal direct damage to ethereal enemies, I'm no longer a Dark Spirit, but rather an Spectral Dragon, so I'm just made of... I don't know, spirit energy, so I don't get banished or WoG'd, and I deal some other kind of damage rather than Dark damage.
I don't know if this is actually a suitable answer to what you guys have been saying.
Intangibility makes you weak against holy and banishment, so if you'll get in a fight against several dark spirits and NRDL adds and uses a skill like WoG against dark spirits, you'd be fried.
-_- you've said previously when discussing disadvantages of my spirit walking skill being that if I was a dark spirit and Wrath of God was activated nearby, I'd be fried.
EDIT: found what made me think this:Intangibility makes you weak against holy and banishment, so if you'll get in a fight against several dark spirits and NRDL adds and uses a skill like WoG against dark spirits, you'd be fried.
Hello, a demonologist and his pet demon just passed through here, can you direct me to the way he went?Pguhyuh would have punched you in the face for calling Smoke a "pet" :P
Request the gargoyles direct me to where Pguhyuh went.
..."cleansed"?
EDIT: Hey, aren't SM's crossbow, black embers, demonhide armor, and horkers horn (and maybe even the ashen dark embers) all of demonic origin? His "demonic familiarity" should be +40 or +50 now, not +30.
Damage dealt during dragon-forms doubledI had no intention of the upgrade including a +2 to rolls. I just wanted the typing change, and the doubled damage.
Dragonruler class did change how dragon forms worked:QuoteDamage dealt during dragon-forms doubled
I had no intention of the upgrade including a +2 to rolls. I just wanted the typing change, and the doubled damage.
Spectral Dragon: An upgrade to Spirit Walking. Rather than becoming a Dark Spirit, I become a Spectral Dragon. As such, I deal non-elemental damage to physical enemies and can attack intangible enemies directly. In addition, it is now considered a dragon form for the purposes of the Dragonruler subclass.
Sound good?
You have a skill you always spam that givesyou +2 to everything and makes you immune to anything but a certain type of damage.The question is, what ISNT. From a balance standpoint, anyway.
What is even wrong with that.

Don't worry - RNG and my imagination can eventually put you against for example a demonic prince, legendary demon, god, super powerful monster that'd be on par if not stronger than you...Or implings. Goodness knows another impling swarm could probably lay a smackdown on any of us from their mimicry.

Implings - technically level 0, but still OP.They might be demonic, but at least they're not spiders.
Might want to change it so the skills are remembered and not lost if it dies.That... that would be equivalent to just having an immortal Impling. Maybe you'd lose it for a couple turns while I new one arrived.
Thanks for the lore, Dark.
Yes, I will. My objectives were the same as yours even before I came here. How can I help?Five bucks said he pulled a Mephistopheles on you, he looked into your heart for your desire, and is using it to trick you.
Help as much as possible
"Thank y' kindly Serrana. Now, I'm thinking we should visit the shrine. You with me?""Go back and recuperate before trying this place again? Yes."
"That's a big one"You're not using the bar, right? The bar does a nova; it would hurt me. Potentially a lot.

"How do you think the rest are faring?" Serrana asked to her companions. She felt they had a better eye for what was going on than she did.
[1] She tried to invoke faith healing, but nobody needed healing. By trying to force it, she exhausted herself and couldn't use any of her skills!((I had thought there were others than me and Dennis! ;~; oops!))

(Why the hell would he be able to understand that makes no sense. Stop giving Lysander all the abilities and knowledge of everything. Does he also is extremely handsome + tragic backstory and also secretly a demigod?)You are honestly far more correct than you have any right being XD
(Mary sue senses tingling)Thats exactly what I was trying to say.
Yeah, that is one of the reasons I am still waiting. Anyway, he hasn't ruled the demons for forever.I would think you'd ask why, but whatever. I'll just keep it under wraps.
Dude, you're a paladin. He doesn't need to ask why you'd have an issue with him being the freaking demon king.Yeah, that is one of the reasons I am still waiting. Anyway, he hasn't ruled the demons for forever.I would think you'd ask why, but whatever. I'll just keep it under wraps.
Ok, sure, why would you try to kill him since you have a malus to fighting him? What, is he your dad?Title. He already knows that titles hold power, being a former noble and all. Additionally, if he were to take power over demons, he could potentially lead them in cleaning the undead from the world. step from footsoldier all the way up to commander of his own army. Even if he wasn't able to take control, there is a reason people are afraid of "kingslayers" most times.
But still, the assumption is that you'd flip your shit if one of your teammates was secretly a demon, anyway. (We don't know that Pguhyuh's not...)
*sigh*Nobody knows that yet though, not even the demons.
Former demon king. He's the former demon king.
Please note that he can't get demons to pay any more attention to him than Pguhyah can. In fact, it's Pguhyah who has the demons always start out neutral to him.
Yeah, if you killed Lysander, you wouldn't have killed the king of demons, you would have killedsome guy forced to wander the earth without his powers until his death or until he somehow gets them back.Well, best hope people don't blabber if you do.
Also compared to everyone else who are just kind of normal people except for the dragon wanderer, he is like uh idk doesn't match. didn't biography said he hated demons?No, just said I wanted to protect the people who are still alive. Also, the dragon stuff all just kinda happened XD
Shouldn't the snowstorms have gotten a +2, for a 4?
(2 paths to the cathedral? Or one to a church?)
Ok, got it.Shouldn't the snowstorms have gotten a +2, for a 4?
Snowstorms never had dragon form bonus. The bonus is for actions that you do, not for passive ones.
On level-up, you can get one new skill and slightly enhance previous one.And?
Yes - one new skill AND one skill enhancement.Does this mean we get to go back and apply enhancements to all our previous skills, provided we are not in a fight?

I think that Aaron enhanced ents at some point too, but I'm not sure about that.I enhanced my Spirit Walking, not the ents, I think. Pretty sure the ents was just a drawn-out conversation on what the skill would give me.
Enhancing was already there, but it wasn't specified when and if you can enhance a chosen skill at all.We... we kinda did that as an alternative to a new skill upon level-up. We either made a new skill or made and old one better. There never would have been a time where this:
...stops someone from enhancing all the skills mid-bossfight to get beefed up and kill a boss just like a weak level 1 zombie......would have been possible.
After Serrana made GREAT AND HONORABLE introductions with the spirit, she tapped the Duke's shoulder and pointed out how quiet and tranquil the village was.
"Wouldn't it benefit our campaign in the long-run if we had a secure area to return and recuperate to?"
Could you specify what kind of enhancement you want on living faith?Every point of faith acts as 2 hitpoints of life.
"Huh? We can clear my village first, if that's what you mean.""This was your village? Very well then. But if you're going after the undead--we should do it together. I'll tend to the defenses elsewise."
Pretty sure that it was 1 more turn last turn. I don't think you'd updated the sheets between posting the turn and me posting my action.
"Interestin' choice of weapons 'n armor to be trustin'. If'n it couldn't save you in life, what chance has it got now? You're dressin' like a big deal, but there's only one ending to your story that isn't face down in this here mud. I be the new Duke. Kneel Before Dennis!"Serrana couldn't stop Duke's powerful monologue, but she made sure that her action would come first else Duke would be wasting something meant for better enemies.
Masterful Taunt, then Duke's Charm the knight.
Exorcism - completely banishes a dark spirit, (6 turns cooldown)"That is a dark spirit. It has no master or any hierarchy."

"That is a dark spirit. It has no master or any hierarchy."
What would my fans think?
"...That'll do. Come along friends, I scared 'im off."Serrana nodded in agreement, happy for such a stoic and leaderlike ally. In all honesty, she would've laughed (with no offense intended) if she was younger in experience, but she had learned how to treasure such character. . .especially when everything around you was undead.
Note that 10 is the damage Cryptlord did to itself. Damage you dealt after all the protection kicked in was 60. Fire Frenzy does not block damage. It's a passive skill, not just a buff so you'd have to be able to block skills.It received a good thing due to damage I dealt. That's a buff.
It received a good thing due to damage I dealt. That's a buff.
This occurred when I rolled a 6 on my Fire Breathing. Would Fire Frenzy have happened if I didn't do that, or would I still have to be dealing with an opponent with +2?
For that matter, is everything about the Cryptlord made to counter me? Because it definitely seems like everything I try to throw at him is being countered.
There's two more slots. If you know if any other person who may be interested, please invite them.((Sure))
Just FYI, Dark One, I'm currently prepping for the hurricane. If I don't respond to the next turn (and potentially some turns after that, who knows), it's the hurricane's fault.I'm in the same boat, so ditto for me.
Everything is back. You won't have to autopilot me or SM.Forums went ded x.x
I'll let Tir know you need their turn.
Wild Charge and Frantic Flurry to hit the undead soldiers with the sword and the hatchet.
Doesn't Serrana already know where the undead are, if we searched the town together?Exorcist doesn't do undead. They do spirits. :P
A little explanation how bonuses are treated with overshots: When Cryptlord gets 6 +2, I substract that 2 from overshot, so he gets 4 for side effects. The higher the modifier on overshot, the worse it's going to be, as it's an over-overshot.Wait, doesn't that mean that a 5+2=5 in terms of effects? So my attack against the Cryptlord would be equivalent to a 5v6, right?

This clearly applies only to overshots.
5 +2 isn't an overshot, it's an epic success with either a bit higher effectiveness, or ass saver if you're in trouble. Base rolls matter more than bonus or buff - I mentioned it earlier.
Anything +6 or higher is a re-roll.

Why did I not deal any damage to the Cryptlord, though, given that? My base of 5 is better than its base of 4, and we both had the same +2 bonus.

He had base 6, while modifier removed bad side effects. So it went as epic success.

Peasant was meant for a challenge class, I'm actually surprised Dennis is still alive.Well, challenge class. The deliberately underpowered guy.
This is why you're not really supposed to play Peasant. They were meant as a joke class.((Yeah. Ah well, Time to get rotten meat and rags if I survive and just sneak about with the bow))

Sure, why not, sound like just the work out I need."I'll take a rest and meditate. It is nice to feel some certainty of safety here."

Activate Electric aura
Wild charge the Knights
There's no on-turn skill limit, you can deplete yourself out of all skills you have on one turn, as long as which one is used earlier when makes sense. Like, a prayer and then holy bolt attack won't work well, but holy bolt and then prayer would do.Sure I could use my Skill that causes everyone else to fail... But I could just as easily take out the majority of my opponents in a single turn with my new skill, gain a level, finish the rest of them off, and head on down to the catacombs looking for stuff to kill.
Guess he keeps it for anything much stronger that might be in catacombs.
True enough. Though any 5s and 6s won't die, probably everyone else will.There's no on-turn skill limit, you can deplete yourself out of all skills you have on one turn, as long as which one is used earlier when makes sense.

"Up and at 'em friends! To Adventure!"((I have no idea if we even know what else is going on rather than our section divided by the horizontal ruler, so I'm unsure where the targets are OR if we know about them in our vicinity, considering the enemy list being unspecific.))
Keep clearing the village.
What are the rules for sub-classes? I have some ideas
-Bonus to trying to pacify demons, undead and dark spirits (Maybe even more than just non-hostility, like recovering their senses and removing corruption from them, making undead sentient, removing dark from the spirits and making demons sane again. Too strong?)
-Adquiring resistances from (last) bound demon (but not its weakness. Too strong?)
Can we take multiple sub-classes?
And how would I do that? For example, could I multiclass to alchemist right now?Can we take multiple sub-classes?
No, but you can multi-class.
I described it earlier - you go 3 levels back (without losing skills or HP, but your kill to next level remains the same too).Er... I'd just like to make sure that you realize that, unless somebody has an ability that gives higher bonuses based on their level, that cost is literally free. It doesn't take any of the skills or HP that comes with leveling, and it doesn't change how many kills it takes to level.
Found loot is scaled accordingly to your level, enemies won't scale down though.Ah, ok. There's the part that discourages it. I don't think we actually knew that.
Unless you have a problem or suggestion ill be going with this for the level ups and sub-class.
Great Diplomat
-Bonus to trying non-combat actions in combat
-Bonus to talking, tryng to stop combat or making allies (Any diplomatic stuff, I guess)
-Bonus when helping teammates or doing cooperative stuff
-Extra HP (Probably not this, doesn't make sense with the rest of the bonuses)
Enchancements:
-Make Bond > Eternal Bond: I share all of Smoke's resistances, but not his weakness. [If he dies, he is saved and instead banished and after a (probably very long) time can be re-summoned, and if I die, Smoke will become stronger depending of how strong I was. (Just an Idea, maybe too strong)]
-Demonic Ambassador > Great Ambassador: Undead, Dark spirits and Demons are neutral to me, but just me. They still may become hostile later but they are more willing to maybe just ignore me. Or at least not attack instantly.
New Skills:
-Grand Cleansing: Removes all evil, corruption and/or taint of an undead, dark spirit or demon. They will regain their sanity, memories and minds, returning to what they used to be (not physically, but mentally and spiritually. They will still be undead/demon/dark spirit)
-Union: Can temporally fuse with Smoke to transform into a very strong human-demon hybrid. Too big too use normal human equipment or weapons, but very strong physically and keeping skills of both Smoke and me. Temporal and with a probable big cooldown, its a last resort ability.
And acquire loot from the Cryptlord.Anyway...
I added companion sheets quite a few turns ago. They're directly under player sheets in second OP post, blind bastards.OUch. :-\
"Eternal bond - for 10 HP turns demon into companion as long as player wills it, then banishes it. If player dies, demon is banished and able to be summoned once again. Player receives resistances of bonded demon, and adds 5 points to dealt damage per player's level."
If I died, who would summon him?
...while Smoke searches the area for the rest of the team...
He rested with you when spirit arrived. I made him stay in case of Aaron getting a bad hostility roll on it, so it wouldn't one hit kill you.Thanks...? But now I kind of lack for an IC reason to go to the village because of that until I search the keep now
If you don't mind, I would like to have that armor.Hmn? Er, yes, sure.
"Sir Thunderlord, we did not slay the Maelstrom you spoke of. Seymour is the one who slew him, and he no-longer walks this earth. The Demonologist who took his ember took a portal to the Dark Cathedral in the city to the west, and that was the last I saw of them. Take your quarrel up with the demonologist, neither of us want any part of it. We are in search of an artifact of our own, and will leave you in peace if you do the same."
attempt to convince the demon to leave us alone,but take a defensive stance and be ready to defend Lyirah from harm.

Set off to college, so you may expect updates to be less frequent. I'll have to wait a few days to get a stable connection in my dorm room as well (and be sure that I'll live in that room as well - they somehow lost key to the room I was about to take and I had to move to another one... on tenth floor...). Once I'll get through those early issues, I'll post an update.

Nope, the aura while centered around you, attacks enemies not you, so it won't quite work.

(I have a very bad feeling about this. I recommend we focus on defending than trying to attack it since we don't know what will it do.(I am not smart, and now I do 320 damage on a Wild Charge.)
Does the shard counts as a primal energy for attunment so I could attune it to get a bonus?

RandomGeneric, please make sure to use your Grand Cleansing on the Crazyabe boss we're going to encounter soon.Okay? Do I not use it now?
We don't know what the boss's original personality was. Sure, it might help somewhat, but we don't know.Or it could just mean that contractual boss immunity to cleansing might come into effect for all future bosses.
Using it on boss!Crazyabe would mean Crazyabe gets his character back, without losing anything, and maybe gaining stuff.
And besides, I don't think we need to worry much about this boss...

To put things in perspective: My Main weapon did 60Phy, 30 Dark, and 10 Fire. Yours does 80Phy, no Dark, and 20 Fire, but is slower. Wild charge Multiplies that by 2.5, Electric aura does 40 Electric damage to everyone in range for two turns.Erm, my main weapons deal 200 combined phys, 80 combined fire, and 20 arcane. And according to Dark, when I chose to duel-wield them, they each felt as light as a feather. I wouldn't count on them being slow.
To put things in perspective, At LEAST one person is going to die to me.

Now I have questions. If he is a dark spirit/undead mix, how does his type interact with my abilities? Will I be able to use them against him effectively, or am I dead on the water until he is exorcised?

Also, drawing aggro and preparing for an attack are legitimate actions, yes? And the auto-rolled 1s still get our usual modifiers to our rolls? And he still has to hit us in order to deal damage?
Those are all correct, yes?
Because I think I can make this happen without worrying about anyone dying.
Next level up im enchancing that skill to also remove sins, curses, sickness, plague, godhood, doom, pain, ugly stuff, bad karma, the color black and voodoo magic.Next level up occurs soon, because Dread Knight guy is probably dying this coming turn, and next turn after that otherwise.
This is what you get for not investing in defensive abilities.That is what I was doing all my level ups >_<. Regeneration, neutrality, bonus to actions like resting. I am even wearing two sets of armor at the same time.
Question: Wait, did I regenerate my health? I recover 10 HP each turn and I think I should have been full.
Question: Can this guy attack people who rest?
Question: What do we know about Dread Knights? Are they mindless or are they against the gods?
Have you considered running?
Aaron this is your fault this happened to counter your OP skills.
If it's a dark spirit, what if I used my pouch of salt against it?
If it is a dark spirit, I get +2, right?
I petition this boss, he does BS damage and makes it so none of can roll for shit, either name him turn maluses into bonuses, or give him some stupid weakness we can exploit, otherwise, you just seem like you want to kill the us all. I mean, he can attack all of us in one turn, this isn't Glass complaining that you made his character actually kill able, this is me saying that this is unfair, anyone else want to add anything.?((I'm adding that we need more than 1 round to make conclusions :O For all we know, his negative stuff is a temporary thing. Everyone heal up though--don't worry about this turn, I've got healing!))
Well, I can give you this hint. The charm is Abysslord's Bone, and it closed you all in the village, only way to escape is use of magic. It inverts all bonuses and gives additional -1 penalty until the battle is over. All kinds of hostile, escape and bonused actions get this penalty. User of the bone is obviously not affected by penalties.No, Tir, it's not a one-time temporary thing. This is the condition of the battle.

Shift to Ethereal Dragon Form, then activate Fire Dancer, and proceed to lay into this "Dread Knight" with both the Dragonruler Greatsword and the Dramei Warhammer. Also, make sure to continue being on fire.Also, Dark, I shifted into Ethereal Dragon Form, not Shadow Dragon Form. There was discussion as to which way to go, but that was the one I'd settled on. I noticed you have the wrong one in the turn.

I did notice that action said ethereal dragon, but then in another comment you said that you're going to switch to shadow dragon so I went with it.There was discussion regarding that, and I think I'd actually made the final descision in Discord talking with Tir; if you check the time I edited the action to Ethereal, you'll see that it's after the post where I mentioned using Shadow instead.
Persuasion isn't penalized as wellScrew it, new action. Use diplomacy to convince this guy to work for us.
I don't use Discord at all, so I could've missed that.Don't worry, it's fine. I just wanted to clarify where this was coming from; I already knew that you weren't on the Discord channel that Tir and I discussed it in.
Hey Dark, can you set up a poll for who we think is the group leader and why it's Dennis?
I see your dukeness and raise you a dragonruler.Hey Dark, can you set up a poll for who we think is the group leader?
FTFY.
Aaron: he is a fighter, knows about combat and is very powerful, but sometimes he does stuff without thinking or planning, rushing into combat and hoping to kill enemies before they do their weird tricks (which sometimes works). But still can cause serious damage in a fight.To be fair, I have a +4 to my rolls. This usually works.
out of character, he is very far from us.Assuming that we're all together to make a plan.
Not Reynald, IC or OOC, in character, he has been discriminatory against Lysander and shown favoritism, out of character, he is very far from us.To be quite fair, your character was acting rather grabby. Reynald wants to know what he's looking at before he starts to hand things out.
Additionally, you mentally scarred him with navblaatTo be fair, nobody was happy with Naablvat. His name literally means "annoying".
Can we stop discussing who's boss and get on with the turn? I have a dragon that I may potentially need to kill!That too, everyone that is left send actions now. I think everyone knows the plan.
Huh, something bad is probably happening in there. Best to avoid that for now.
Wander around the area looking for loot and things to fight.
the dragon must be repelled quickly! Rally myself and unleash the wrath of gods upon it!
I Hunt around the area for a minor demon to bind to my will.
Turn around and walk in the oposite direction, remember the location though for future expeditions.
"Nope, not today, not now, a fine foe for the future but not today."
Mhm. So, because I get a -4 to all actions now, I can't even extinguish myself to bring that -4 down to -2 because I'd get a -4 on extinguishing myself and just end up getting nothing done, because I currently can literally only get a 2 or a 1 (read as: alternately skinned 2).
Mhm.
Stop being a part of the battle. No, I'm not leaving, so it's not an escape action; I'm literally just not participating, because I cannot do anything at all because of how the mechanics are set up, so I'm just going to do nothing and stop being involved in this battle so that it doesn't have to concern me.
So that as far as it concerns Aaron Blaze, the condition "until the battle is over" is fulfilled.
Take cover, rest.
I petition this boss, he does BS damage and makes it so none of can roll for shit, either name him turn maluses into bonuses, or give him some stupid weakness we can exploit, otherwise, you just seem like you want to kill the us all. I mean, he can attack all of us in one turn, this isn't Glass complaining that you made his character actually kill able, this is me saying that this is unfair, anyone else want to add anything.?((I'm adding that we need more than 1 round to make conclusions :O For all we know, his negative stuff is a temporary thing. Everyone heal up though--don't worry about this turn, I've got healing!))
Do some Faith Healing, also skillfully because I'm still sprawled on the ground!
Also Coiled Bar that dude!
Do you recognize this fellow? Sounds as boisterous as the Gods you hate! Serrana said to her spirit buddy.
I did notice that action said ethereal dragon, but then in another comment you said that you're going to switch to shadow dragon so I went with it.There was discussion regarding that, and I think I'd actually made the final descision in Discord talking with Tir; if you check the time I edited the action to Ethereal, you'll see that it's after the post where I mentioned using Shadow instead.Persuasion isn't penalized as wellScrew it, new action. Use diplomacy to convince this guy to work for us.
Or would that run into the negative from bonuses, which I can only expect everything I do would, because I have +4 or more bonus to everything.
Essentially, the question is this right now: will I get my diplomacy bonus inverted?
Have Naablvat try to steal the charm, while Stumpy and I rest.
Smoke enters Smoke form to regenerate his health then backs off with me to find a place to rest while the others fight.
Wolfchild was last active in this game on sept 14, and seems to have gotten sucked into a fire emblem forum game since then.Papaj's character was put in storage after three. Yes, they were a new character that hadn't done anything yet, but still.
they have missed a total of eight turns.
I'll update this evening, taking spirit's move and faith healing as Tiruin's actions.Or you can update my action now as I've had 2 days outside of bay12 and internet :P
I'll update this evening, taking spirit's move and faith healing as Tiruin's actions.Do that and let the spirit cast Fear upon the foe, or Telekenisis onto the charm!.
Whaaaat??? The spirit already has a telekinesis skill. You just have to faith healing and try to banish it.I'll update this evening, taking spirit's move and faith healing as Tiruin's actions.Or you can update my action now as I've had 2 days outside of bay12 and internet :P
That's definitely a spirit. Does it remind you of the Gods? Because I feel it pretty much here that those aren't the Gods I think in mind when you say Gods, Serrana thought as she picked herself up from the pain.
It's that charm. Power from charms. If there is anyway to disrupt it or get it away from it physically; please do! But for now, we're moving for support roles.I'll update this evening, taking spirit's move and faith healing as Tiruin's actions.Do that and let the spirit cast Fear upon the foe.
Also if I can do some telekenesis, that'd help--convert my 'banish spirit' into telekenesis onto that charm!
Effects of the charm are over - Thunderlord broke them. Now it's you + buffed up demon/dark spirit team vs dread knight and it's minion.Alright, thanks. Also, I did a small extra edit question in there.

. . .Nonono, wait, we don't have the debuffs anymore. You know what that means:
No. Shpx guvf. We're leaving.
Mkae the portal to the mountains using my shard. Don't leave yet until Smoke is back with me. If he is still on Smoke form he can probably phase thorugh the walls and return to were we are with his infravision. If he doesn't come try to summon him back to me. If that fails, wait for him to return and call him back telepathically to hurry up.
But the ember could be important, maybe they could make Smoke strong or even ascend and become a demon lord. Also I think he wants to revive Maelstrom. That is a bad thing.He said he would leave you in peace. So either you have a rematch with Maelstrom later, or you piss off thunderlord and his army of badasses now. Which is worse? Personally, I feel that getting Everyone in your area killed is much worse than a potential rematch.
I have the feeling he doesn't just want the ashes. He probably would want revenge too and If I gave him the ashes he could just kill me with them. Also he is currently fighting our temporal ally.But the ember could be important, maybe they could make Smoke strong or even ascend and become a demon lord. Also I think he wants to revive Maelstrom.

Kupameth! We didn't knew you were in the keep and if we sealed your place we are sorry. We can give you the whole place now since all of his original inhabitants are gone. You don't have to fight, if you need something we can help you.
[6 +3] The visions you received weren't events of ancient times, they happened mere days ago! You were left in Axewrath to become the next dragonmaster, and eventually become a dragon just like Qloth in the ages past. I can't tell you more than this. - spirit stopped for a moment, then said: Somewhere in this keep, where you can be close to the blackened sun, lurks a powerful opponent. During life he was one of the most powerful mortals in history of Axewrath, and even won a duel with one of the dragonmasters. The dread knight awaits, and he's a patient one. Don't try any surprise attacks or ambush tacticts, it can feel your heartbeat and sense your souls. He may be even watching us, listening to every word of our conversation. If you can defeat him, you may free soul of your predecessor and technically become a dragonmaster. - as the spirit said last words, it faded out and disappeared.
I guess we can lose the keep, but this is what I meant by Glass needing to kill him.Do we actually know that this guy was the one that I needed to kill?[6 +3] The visions you received weren't events of ancient times, they happened mere days ago!

It says if Aaron defeats him he could become a dragonmaster, and from there maybe a dragon.
Alright, I guess we'll try diplomacy.Encourage me to do what?
Encourage Lysander.
He hasn't been on in three days.Oh.
Grab some water from a well and put out the fires.Err >_> I'm lost in where I am in there because no mention of me or where I am exists in turn updates.
We were about to be killed by 2 bosses, then for some reason they were going to kill one each other. But at the end we talked the bosses into defeat and while they were leaving they set the village on fire.Grab some water from a well and put out the fires.Err >_> I'm lost in where I am in there because no mention of me or where I am exists in turn updates.

Keep fighting I guessYou're able to attempt retreat, mate. Considering that it took out more than half of your full health this past turn, I suspect that attempting to do so may be the better option, give you a chance to heal up.
(So Reynald has the biggest amount of evil now. I think that is hilarious.)You have to keep in mind he is acutely aware that there is some dark force that wants to see him become their puppet, and it is making him doubt himself and his spiritual guidance.
I still think that the church paladin being the evil party member hilarious instead of the demon binders, but I guess that makes sense.(So Reynald has the biggest amount of evil now.

I have it all worked in to his level up and sub-class paths, so depending on how he views himself and his actions when he hits level 10 you will see him take a drastic change, Especially if he feels he did more to feed the evil than help the good.
You... do realize that you can take a subclass right now, right?(So Reynald has the biggest amount of evil now.

I need to go to the mountains.
The demigoddess Lyirah was traveling there to regain her powers and I promised to help. If I don't hurry up I won't be able to support her. Also an archangel told me that if I took her to the cathedral she could increase her powers to help them defeat the evil gods who cursed us and caused the undead and demons to invade, and I agreed to help him find her and bring her to the safety of the Cathedral. He is a very wise archangel and havig a safe place where to rest and learn could be useful to us. Will you guys come with me? I can't do this alone and I don't want to abandon the group. Cilber might even reward us if we do it, with either answers or weapons, so please consider joining me.
With this portal I haven opened, we should have easy access to the mountains. Then I can use it to return to the Unavented Cathedral or this village with this shard the Archangel Cilber gave me.
Follow Lysander.???
Follow"I trust you all know what you're doing."LysanderP.
Don't worry, everyhing is going to be fine as long that we stay together.Follow"I trust you all know what you're doing."LysanderP.
Don't worry, everyhing is going to be fine as long that we stay together."I am Serrana, part of a local exorcist order. Local meaning 'neighboring'; I am here on my own reasons, and my halberd has a vengeful spirit who wants to kill Gods; in respect of atheism, it was not right for them to curse him and put him into a small idol. Which is very strange as a motive, and not becoming as far as my knowledge goes of "Gods" and deities..
I don't think we have met before, have we? I am Pguhyuh, a foreign scholar from the east and this is my companion Fzbxr, a smoke demon I bound to my soul. So, who are you?
...Yeah, I hate gods.We've noticed.
Good. I just wanted to be clear. If anyone has any question, just ask me.And then ask someone else, you should try to get all the facts and not just one side. Have you noticed you have only listened to people who hate the gods and no others before making your opinion? I'm not saying the gods are the good guys, I agree that based on what we know, they are being assholes, but I also trust Cilber only as far as I can throw him.
Well, not all gods are evil. It just happens that most of them are evil and removed the powers of the few good ones. What Cilber wants is to switch the old, ancient gods with the new demigods to solve this whole undead problem we have here. Remember I'm just making theories and I'm not 100% sure about some stuff. But the gods caused the undead to rise and because of this they are our enemies."And that makes part and parcel of why I am an exorcist--the division of morality as one major role. What we see is a lot more tangible for our thoughts and actions, but I doubt that all deities, tutelary or otherwise, are on that...spectrum of 'evil'.
Erm, Dark One, just to clear something up: when I'm in dragon form, do I look like a full-on dragon, or am I something like an 8 foot tall still-humanoid dragon guys with the whole dragon head and wings and tail and stuff (as opposed to the 6 foot tall lizardman-type guy I normally am)? I tend to envision it the latter way, but this past turn has made me a bit confused as to what your vision was.Was just wondering.

If not, try doing some Exorcism on all those gathered former-demon-owned charms. Gather them up and do that.Tir, brimstone chunks are not owned by demons, they are removed from demon bodies. They don't need to be exercised. In fact, they probably can't be.

Do these resistances stack? How much physical and dark protection I have in total?
Hey, Dark, I've got an idea for what my next level-up thing will be.
Soul Eater: when in contact with another entity's soul (may be by way of being in contact with them in Ethereal Dragon Form, or by being in contact with a Dark Spirit, or by possessing or being possessed by something), Aaron can overwhelm its soul, essentially consuming it to add the victim's power to his own.
Essentially, I got the inspiration from the affair with the demon that possessed me. Is it ok?
It's ok, but you know that there'd be exceptions to this (slapped with a BOSS stamp), and some enemies might even allow you to devour their souls, and then chew on it from within (Enemies you haven't encountered yet due to not high enough level - Soul Eaters, Dread Wraiths, Soul Maggots - and those you have encountered - Abyssal Knights, Darkriders, Dread Knights; they all share the soul shenanigans trait).Well, yes, I recognize that no boss dissolution.
What is the difference between protection and resistance?
5 physical protection +5 physical protection + medium physical resistance gives 75% when 3 dark protection + weak dark resistance gives 50%?
(Wait, don't do that. At most you will just create a portal deeper in the Abyss that would just lead us to the portal that we want to reach and who knows what creating a portal to the Abyss while already on the Abyss could do. Maybe since we can have only one portal pair open at a time, you will remove our way back and leave us stuck on the Abyss. Since you can fly and have insane rolls, you could lead the search and find the portal faster.)The portal I'm making is to Cliber's place, not to your portal. Anyway, I have the power of at least +2 to all my rolls, probably +4 once I've actually gotten to that point of the action.
(That is actually a great idea. But I dobut a giant dragon would be capable of carrying everyone while incorporeal and on fire. If it fails, specify that you switch to another dragon form to be able to carry us. Sorry if I'm being annoying.)I have +4 to my rolls. It'll work.
We (Smoke and me) go with Aaron and help him find the portal while being carried by him.
The sooner we reach the mountains the better. I must find Lyirah quickly before she find the spear and leaves the place.
A demon... great. He could have at least left me that axe instead of making it disapear *grumble grumble*Dude, just rest. It heals you to full and refreshes all your cooldowns.
Go into town and get medical attention.
"I've something to admit. I don't remember anything before what had happened in the fortress where I met some of you. Retrograde amnesia. We learned anatomy and other things in exorcist school. I cope with nervousness by being pretty bookish."
First off, set myself on fire again. Then, pick everyone up and just fly us all to the other end of the portal.
Clearly, I need to do this myself.
Didn't Stumpy's wings break, he can't fly.
Proceed through the portal. If Reynald and Lyirah are there, greet them. (I'd rather that they are there)
Try to turn the cleaver into a suit of armor with a wrist mounted crossbow on one wrist and a sword on the other.Ah, yes, Operation Iron Man. I'd nearly forgotten about that.
"I don't trust a word you say, demonologist. On top of that, the whole purpose of this quest was to restore her link, not to seek the death of Gods. Leave, or I will cut you down like the traitor you are." If Pguhyuh refuses to leave, assume a defensive stance and siphon his smoke hunter.Can we please not fight each other? We have bigger problems than this.
(It's not my fault, he just keeps trying to start a fight and I'm not going to stand there doing nothing while he kills me. If I attack it would just be in self defense since Pguhyuh is a pacifist. Siphon is still failing since Smoke is a demon and not undead.)(You are aware that he told Pguhyuh that if he saw them again he would kill them, right? Just before liyrah flew off? He is keeping his word. Pguhyuh's ignorance of such is his own problem.
What the hell is wrong with you? You don't trust anyone ever. A group of gods took over and banished the rest. We have to kill those so the demigods and good gods can regain control. Also Cilber said he knew something about restoring her powers, and link. I don't know what is wrong with just a short visit to the place? We have multiple ways to just open portals to go everywhere. I just asked her if she wants to go and you are again trying to kill somebody. If you don't want to trust me, don't come. It's a short visit to the place and Lyirah can return here whenever she wants.Serrana just stood by with her halberd and staff.
"I've already seen his true colors. He abandoned liyrah and her quest in favor of seeing that fallen angel, instead of seeing his charge through to the end as I did. Would you trust someone who would give up on their commitments to others over an argument that was unrelated? Would you willingly side with someone who would join your enemy the moment he did not like you? That does not even begin to touch on the differences between my beliefs and his, and why I will not tolerate his presence."Damnit Reynald this is not the time for this crap.
(Pre-spoilered action)"Your twisted words do not deceive my memory. I said that I would turn my blade against you if I saw you again after the quest. It was you who chose to abandon it in favor of listening to the fallen one's lies."
Wanderer guy is right. Stop this crap. The undead and the Archangel Cilber wish to help Lyirah regain her link and powers. They didn't insult. They didn't ibsult me or try to kill me, unlike you. They have helped us and many other demigods just like Lyirah. I don't even understand how did you argument makes sense. You were the one who said that if I followed you to help Lyirah,
you would kill me. You were the one who forced me to leave the caverns and go with the undead to avoid your murderous rage. If you keep doing this, we will have to stop you.
"I don't know either of your pasts, but what matters is he's here--if he was truly what agitated your nerves, he wouldn't be here in continuation of being exposed to us, you, or what you're concerned about. It sounds like he was more shackled by the burden of action; too little time to act to do several things, and I can feel like that has happened to all of us recently."he had his chance. If you wish to remain with him, that is your right, exorcist. It is mine to shun him for his actions and words. If liyrah wishes to go to the cathedral, then that is her choice, and I will attend by her side warily, but I will not risk this traitor leading us into an ambush, or worse."
"I would rather like less an ultimatum, and more a resolution--give him one chance, and let him stick with whomever you designate. You bear the mark of the Inquisition and I understand there are values you hold closer than other people and profession; this is not the time for dividing us apart. Until we have a point in time where we need people, now, and see people abscond, that is where you can push your point. But not now, when we're in between any goal. Consider that in turn, Inquisitor."
Have you forgotten that it was he that found Lyirah? And for that matter, where have you been as we cleared the Keep? He returned to us, and was instrumental in removing the strongest of our opponents. Meanwhile, this is the first time we have seen you since the battle with the Duke!"I gave my word to protect Liyrah to the conclusion of her quest, and I have been doing exactly that. The fact that you decided to stay and clear the keep was your decision, and yours alone. That was your choice, and I cannot control it. I only control my own and the company that I keep, provided they are willing to keep me."
"Woah, Quiz, calm down! Nobody needs to die right now! Come on, don't you remember the good old days, back when we were in the village, killin' my neighbors, and everyone cheered when you killed the Duke? Come on, we don't need t' kill each other, there's lots of other stuff to kill first!""If I recall correctly, you provoked the Duke and made him even harder to kill. That said, I am aware that it was not Intentional and do not hold it against you. The demonologist's actions on the other hand.."
Serrana is right too. This fight is stupid. I asked if Lyirah wanted to come with me and you just said that if she wants to come then it's her choice, not yours. Then shut up and let her make the choice. If she doesn't want to come we will just leave."I am not objecting to her going to the cathedral. I am objecting to you being present if we do travel there. I am objecting to you being present at all.
Serrana, inquisitor guy has been corrupted.
I can feel evil in his soul. If he turned his blade against me, will you support me?
I just wanted to be a pacifist and stop the war between undead, demons, spirits and humans. I feel that my words are falling on deaf ears and all my options are gone. If I have no choice but to fight, will you help me fight him? I can't do this alone. I am not a warrior, but a diplomat. I do not start fights, I end wars.
I'm trying to explain this to him but he won't listen me! He won't listen to anyone. Duke, He is going to kill me unless someone stops him. Will you help me stop him? I do not wish to kill him, but if I have to fight I won't be able to defeat him alone. I will need help. Will you stay in my side? I will avoid causing any permanent damage, but I feel that he won't stop until I'm dead."None of the people around me are my enemies. Not even your demon. It is you, and you alone who have drawn my ire. The demon is bound to your service and I will not hold anything it does against it. You respect it as another rational being, and so do I. The difference is that I am not attached to it, mentally or magically."
Inquisitor guy, if you has any reason or sense in your head, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Stop. This. We are not your enemies.
Ok, everyone, stop. This is not the time for this petty infighting, and I am sick of listening to it."She has already tried twice before. I doubt that a third or a fourth intervention will lessen this feud until blood has been spilt, one way or another."
Lyirah, if you would kindly assist me in ensuring that my charges do not attack each other or continue throwing arguments at each other, it would be greatly appreciated.
Both of you need to stop. Each time one of you says something, the other feels the need to respond. Wait until Lyirah can weigh in on this."Enough words then. He has two choices: Leave, or face me."
You are wholly missing the point of the issue. Stop trying to fight - or provoke a fight - or there will be consequences for all involved.Both of you need to stop. Each time one of you says something, the other feels the need to respond. Wait until Lyirah can weigh in on this."Enough words then. He has two choices: Leave, or face me."
I think just restraining him is better. I'm not even going to resist or try anything if anyone wants to restrain me too. I just think that it would be pointless since I don't want to fight, unlike him.Serrana moves over and starts tying up them hands, in a way that looks firm and sturdy, but also easy to release given a certain technique, aptly learned from all the times braiding hair and otherwise. "A show of faith then."
Just so you know when you mention darkness upon Reynald's soul, you talk about taint. Evil has actually nothing to do with ones soul, it's simply an indicator of evil* actions taken, but can raise due to other factors. For Reynald, it's sacrifice and juxtaposition. Dennis got a point after rolling [1] when resting, it was caused by a dark spirit. It affects contacts with NPCs the most.((Ouch, I'm more tainted :I))
*Evil can mean: against characters beliefs, against morality, a blasphemy, or in rare cases - what gods may see evil. It is likely that anyone following Cilber's plan may get a significant raise in evil.
Exorcism won't work on Reynald - it's destined for dark spirits, and he's not possessed. His soul is just as clean as Aaron's. In fact, Serrana had much more taint than Reynald ever had. Nothing stops you from roleplaying the darkness on his soul, but gameplay side - he's perfectly fine.
I think it's rude that we haven't let Lyirah say anything at all yet. Shoudn't we let her express her point of view? All this time we have been arguing over stupid stuff and haven't let her say a single word yet.I have recommended this at least three dragons-damned times.
I know I talk too much, sorry."That would put a black mark on your soul if you killed an innocent person. Remember the difference between belief and application? That is it. You believe that person must die, then you kill them--then they're not actually deserving of that.
I was trying to convince the inquisitor to not kill me.
What? He is the one who wants to kill me, I am just irritated by the fact that he is going to fight me because of a stupid argument.I do not want anyone to die.Serrana studied Pughyuh's expression as he answered until she realized what or how he took her words.
alright, let's try and focus my remaining mana energy towards healing my eyes, or at least partially regaining vision. Rest them and blindfold them like I said I would after I do all I can to heal them.I think you meant to put that on the mech game, right?
I'm really sorry, but I don't think that I'll be able to keep up with updating the game. I've got some motivation issues lately, and college is taking my time quite effectively. I think that the end will come with turn 80, which means that only 6 turns remain.(Seems to be going around like a plague. How odd.)
I guess that long hiatus + timeskip won't be that bad, and I think that I won't make a new thread for it later on. In a game about demons, wraiths and walking dead, it'd be fitting to have this enormous abomination back.(glad to hear this, though. I would hate for this game to die entirely so soon.)
I'd rather have a timeskip now than make you suffer through more turns.^
Question, though, what should happen in the timeskip?
Name: Aaron BlazeI don't remember this being a part of the subclass, but I feel like it may have been overlooked previously.
...
Subclass: Dragonruler
...
Damage dealt during dragon-forms doubled
Can I possibly get some additional loot due to the Dragonruler subclass's bonus to loot finding?
I mean, it's a +1 for that regard, and I got a 4...
Can I atleast get some extra lore knowledge about the world?)
Three questions
1. As I am 1 kill away from a level up, can I get +1 to however many levels I get in the time skip?
2. Will minions level up as well?
3. Can I bind some demons over the time skip?
Dennis got his changes
I think I missed spazyak's skills, but he seemed somewhat biased on what to take. Reynald rolled [1] and Serrana [2], Dennis got his changes and the rest haven't sent me any plans for their skills (and I'm too lazy to check earlier pages right now).((I just simply not have a clue as to what to take, I fear my creativity has been shot the past couple of days))
Those that haven't sent/posted their skills can still do it. Now excuse me, I've got an exam tomorrow at 8 a.m and won't be available till at least 8 p.m (I've got shitload of classes, lectures and courses tossed in at Mondays and Tuesdays).
In his sleep, he saw his own grave. Makeshift, run down and forgotten within millions of others in the apocalypse. Suddenly, he saw himself raising from the grave. Not undead, but rather alive and well, rays of sunlight shining upon him from the sky. Rise! May the duke of Height Keep return return for the second wind! - the voice from High Heavens said and Dennis woke up. He felt somewhat changed, as if an Angel of Life was watching him and waiting for a good moment to revive him should the need be.
Passives always help. You may also want to take a look at things that others have done that worked out well for them (I'd recommend Spirit Walking, my first level up, as one of your skills; it was endlessly helpful). If you care to join the fold of being a dragon worshipper, you can maybe try doing some stuff in that theme.I think I missed spazyak's skills, but he seemed somewhat biased on what to take.

Level Up:Second Wind:One use only, when killed revive at full HP.
-snip-Shose are some good ideas
(I think the skill is fine, maybe you just don't use it to it's full potential. You could cover enemies in plants that block their movement then burn them for extra damage.)I've tried to use it to "full potential" previously, but as stated, it doesn't benefit from my dragon form and fire frenzy roll bonuses, so it's just plain less likely to work, and can still overshoot/crit fail. As stated, see the Undead Brute fight for a prime example of that.
A. Fire frenzy would have happened no matter what the source of fire was; you proved that yourself when you reignited him.
B. I know better than Dark fire breath now.
C. Plants are physical damage.
D. Elemental maelstrom now just auto-succeeds, so elemental stuff with that is accounted for. I'm considering using an upgrade to make it so I can also auto-shift all of my elemental damage to a specific damage type, just in case of too many immunities/resistances/etc.
Dark, is there any damage type that we haven't seen yet? Are angels, demigods and gods weak to specific elements? What are all the elemental damage subtypes (like fire and earth)?
What is the black alloy of Cilber's glaive?
Evil plants might need a new enemy type, or go off as arcane constructs (thought they don't have too much arcane element within themselves).That could be explained as arcane energy leaking from the demon realm via hell portals and getting twisted by the curse making the dead rise. This might also classify them as "undead" because most plants need light to survive, and likely are short on it and thus dying off and reanimating.
Actually, I would become one of the four horsemen for the second time. The first time, I was famine in a war for milk.(Remeber that if you challenge it to a duel and win you transform and become the new demon lord.)
(Forget I said anything, Demon Lord of Pestilence Reynald sounds badass as hell and if you become demon you might not hate Pguh that much anymore. Also having strong demon powers. Please do challenge him to a duel and win.)
Et Aenferne - Demon Lords
Demonic lords are powerful demons that have their own spheres of influence.
There are demon lords of fire, poison, lightning, truth, lies, anger - just like gods with their spheres.
However, demons never govern more than one sphere, while gods can rule over several of them, splitting their power.
Thus a demon lord of lightning has much greater destructive potential than god of lightning, life and rebirth.
An interesting thing to note is how to become a demon lord, and that one doesn't necessarily have to be a demon to do it - anyone that wins a fair, one on one duel becomes a demon lord and receives it's power.
In case of demonic lord not being slain in a duel, a lower demon in the chain ascends to his position and to keep up his position, needs to seek out embers of his predecessor and return them to demonic fires.
Demon lord rules over all lesser demons of his sphere, and it is a very important rule that no lesser demon can attack demon lord without calling him for a duel first.
Demon lords are lower in demonic hierarchy than Demonic Barons, Dukes and Princes.
(But do they change their appearance once they become Demon Lords? Do they grow horns or a tail? At least there should be a way to differentiate between a normal human and a Demon Lord human.)You're overthinking things. The only reason our appearance would change is if we leveled up/got a power increase AND took a trait or skill that modifies our appearance, like Aaron did.
You'd said that demons had conquered the old Draconic fortresses, right?
When do I get to fight a demon lord?

When do I get to fight a demon lord?
1. Yep, long ago and probably are reinforced or getting demonic inhabitants right now.
2. When you roll 1 obviously. Remember Kupameth? Because that's how you get Kupameth!
Dark's the one that gave me both of the things that give me bonuses to my rolls. I wasn't the one that broke it.Never said you were the one who broke it, but it's getting to the point where there is no "roll" in your part of the Roll to Dodge. that kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
Steadfast Luck. Aaron's rolls and roll modifiers cannot be altered by external skills. (In other words, "Lunatic's Luck" wouldn't be able to cause Aaron to roll an automatic 1, and that guy that inverted our bonuses would not be able to do so to Aaron. That said, he also can't take advantage of skills that cause him to auto-roll a 5 or something, not that he necessarily needs it.)
Elemental Maelstrom auto-succeeds at everything, so I can be permanently on fire. It's limited to utility, though, because max 20 damage on enemies.
And I took a skill specifically to counter Kupameth and enemies like him.Steadfast Luck. Aaron's rolls and roll modifiers cannot be altered by external skills.

(Do we ascend a little every time we level up or we need to do special tasks like killing divine entities for their power? How do we ascend? Should do I know because of how I planned to research demigods and gods during the timeskip or is a secret thing?)
A tip to Arron - if you want to become a draconic god through gaining titles, you will have to kill a certain Dread Knight.Kupameth, right?
I am personaly just having trouble coming up with anything creative, Perhaps
an immunity to poisons and ability to better identify things of alchemical nature on an enemy as discussed earlier.
A tip to Arron - if you want to become a draconic god through gaining titles, you will have to kill a certain Dread Knight.Kupameth, right?
I'd like to make absolutely certain that Steadfast Luck would prevent him from inverting my rolls. Since he was the reason I made that skill, I'll be pretty miffed if it doesn't work on him.
Great. If I'm not about to enter combat next turn, I'm summoning Kupameth. I hope he gets summoning sickness.A tip to Arron - if you want to become a draconic god through gaining titles, you will have to kill a certain Dread Knight.Kupameth, right?

Permanently becoming a dragon could've increased minimal damage for fire frenzy to occur.I have almost always been in a Dragon form when I've set myself on fire. I don't think there should be an issue.
(Can a level up skill aid in leveling faster? Like +1 kill for each enemy slain or randomly getting 1 kill for next level each turn?)
you know what would be hilarious if when he summoned him he had, haste, lifelink, and protection to creatures, i hate magic cards that have effects
That is fine, I appolagize, school has just killed my creativityI am personaly just having trouble coming up with anything creative, Perhaps
an immunity to poisons and ability to better identify things of alchemical nature on an enemy as discussed earlier.
Two upgrades, you can upgrade one more skill. If you have serious troubles with coming up with anything, could you allow me or other players to write those new skills for you?
Town Fool's Luck:With the help of the other survivors, cover the keep and village in festive and morale-boosting Solstice decorations.I feel like you're going to accidentally organize it in some ancient and archaic and extremely obtuse summoning sigil and have a party with Cthulhu.
Just walking by
Hey Dennis, just heading to the library.
Did you forget I'm in the keep as well?
Try to connect more with my 'dark' spirit, and also 'realize' more regarding my connection with spirits in general.Once more! :D
Understand my 'dark' spirit buddy more (because long term goals are making him less vengeful, and more enlightened with understanding).
"Hey, Lysander. Glad you're here, I had a quick question. A bit weird, but are you the devil? I just get this weird feelin' you're the devil."
Yup
Wander off, For Fame and some other stuff!!!
I still don't think I belong on the evil axis.
There's also the universal issue of just not having enough space on the chart.I still don't think I belong on the evil axis.
Sorry, I just thought you didn't mind being there since you didn't object to Glass's chart. Maybe you did on the Discord, but I don't often check there. Some characters are really hard to place.
Yeah, that's pretty f*cked up. Also, please don't remind me of how we met Naablvat.There's also the universal issue of just not having enough space on the chart.I still don't think I belong on the evil axis.

That said, I really think that Abe should have been in Chaotic Evil. Demon seduction, anyone?
Erm, why the -1 from poison when that was neither stated in its item description nor a possible overshoot effect because I'm immune to those? And why didn't the massive alpha strike that I explicitly stated I was doing happen?
I did not see Darkrider on the list, what are they?
Do I see the tainted plant fight from my keep?
Mh hmn, got it.Erm, why the -1 from poison when that was neither stated in its item description nor a possible overshoot effect because I'm immune to those? And why didn't the massive alpha strike that I explicitly stated I was doing happen?
Because GM has a massive hole in his memory, is constantly distracted and decided to let you plan your attack better now that you know that only physical damage applies.
Abusing powers and stacking bonuses(Have you ever thought that you might be exploiting the system too much?)
I'm just doing the obvious thing. :PQuote from: GlassAbusing powers and stacking bonuses(Have you ever thought that you might be exploiting the system too much?)
give a polite bow to duke Dennis
duke Dennis I have good news and bad news which do you want first
Wait, when did you get that 220? The demonic items = damage trait?The very same, plus it's now +20 per item rather than +10.
I'm just doing the obvious thing. :PQuote from: GlassAbusing powers and stacking bonuses(Have you ever thought that you might be exploiting the system too much?)
And I'm not really stacking bonuses that much. I'm more stacking debuffs on Kupameth.
So Dark, remember I have a +2 to all my rolls, and +220 damage.
What, even against debuffs stemming from "crap, I've been tied up by vines"?I'm just doing the obvious thing. :PQuote from: GlassAbusing powers and stacking bonuses(Have you ever thought that you might be exploiting the system too much?)
And I'm not really stacking bonuses that much. I'm more stacking debuffs on Kupameth.
Kupameth is immune to debuffs. Blood Omen restores lost faith, not gives bonuses to it. These skills are most effective when used with the greatsword that grants them. Dark spirits see clearly in all conditions.So Dark, remember I have a +2 to all my rolls, and +220 damage.
You only have +2 against demons. Nothing in you character sheet and subclass gives you bonuses against dark spirits, and I don't remember angel form changing anything more than description and giving you ability to fly.

"If I remember corectly, there should be a hidden button in the fountain.""I'll try helping out there."
Did I try to press the button hidden in the fountain at the courtyard? Prrss if if I didn't.
Ask Fzbxr if he sees anything wrong with his infravision.
"Fzbxr, can you see if there is anything underground blocking the mechanisms? Or if it's just broken?"
I wasn't actually supposed to be in the library, I sent Stumpy and Naablvat but I stayed behind.
Shift my cleaver into a sword and attack the dark rider along with my minions.RIP Lysander. If it makes you feel better, there are many possible incarnates of the Demon King. You can try making another character like Lysander and try again.
Wasn't the demon king supposed to be freed when Lysander died?No. I don't think the demon king exists yet since no one has succesfully reincarnated as him since the fall of the Daemei.
I'm confused.
First off: last time we fought Kup, he only had a +2. Where did the +4 come from.
Then, there's the shift to me only having a +3 and him having a +5, which makes even less sense.
And how come I only dealt 25 damage when my physical damage output should have been 800? (200 raw weapon damage, x2 from Dragonruler, x2 from Flame Dancing).
None of that makes sense.
Ok, but why the roll buff? And again: why did we mid-turn change from +4 and +4 to him having +5 and me only having +3?I'm confused.

Roll buff + res + imm + armor. Just like you only lost 20 HP when he should obliterate you on the spot.
I think it's safe to assume that knights wear armor and that said armor grants protection against physical damage like swords. The Dread Knight is a dark spirit and those have physical immunity or very high physical resist too.*facepalm*
It was included in the turn. RNG is not always in your favor.As demonstrated by pestilince.. yeah..
Oh my god, stop trying to cheese the boss.I told you this would happen.
The game will end at turn number 100, or when all players die before that.Is there a reason why? :(
"What a shame. That's a rotten way to die."Make sure to loot his corpse too, he had a lot of useful gear like the charms.
Chain Lysander's body up, stake it through the heart, and respectfully bury it. Just wouldn't want it coming back.
Make sure to loot his corpse too, he had a lot of useful gear like the charms.
At least take the brimstone chunks. There are enough for everyone who is alive.
"An arcane protective field? That is impossible. Seymour is gone and Lyirah is not here. Who put this spell?""What else wasn't impossibly possible now?"
Try to rest and focus on the arcane field with help from Fzbxr. Try to sense who is down there or try to recognize the source of the energy.
"Serrana, can you heal Erlath's wounds please? He has been badly hurt by the arcane field."
Also, I'm not accepting new players or restarts at this point. I can put players on waitlist, so they'd be first in queue for next iteration of the game in the future.GM said no.
An angel wouldn't be powerful enough to lift the Blackened curse on a whim.:D
An angel wouldn't be powerful enough to lift the Blackened curse on a whim.Did he ascend like Seymour?
SM asked me to try to summon Lysander back to the land of the living when combat ends. Is that ok?He's dead so you can't. Jeremiah wasn't dead. You could try summoning another incarnation of the Daemei King though.
Not exactly like Seymour (due to energy overloading), something more happened in between and forces even greater than gods had their part in it. Add to it prophecy that Lysander was about to discover, and you may find out what happened to Jeremiah.Is this related to:
You could try summoning another incarnation of the Daemei King though....I'm pretty sure he was the demon king though. Not an incarnation, the actually demon king banished from hell looking for redemption or something like that.
"Serrana, try praying. There is a strong tainted presence in the undergrounds."I-got it!" Serrana said, stopping herself from saying 'um', as she knew she couldn't do what he wanted, but could do what was needed.
I must cleanse this corruption."
Empowered by the blessing (and Serrana's prayer if she prays), use Grand Cleansing on the tainted presence in the passage.
((It's either Thunderlord or Maelstorm. Prepare for a fight.))
Dark One had confirmed me that he isn't (yet) through a PM a while ago. There are many possible incarnates that could potentially become the new Daemei King and have demonic powers too. When he died, he stopped being an incarnate and another person became the new one. This cycle continues until the prophecy comes true.You could try summoning another incarnation of the Daemei King though....I'm pretty sure he was the demon king though. Not an incarnation, the actually demon king banished from hell looking for redemption or something like that.
SM write confusing, cosmic-scale backstories, ok?
((...I at least recall I could do something about taint, but it's not in my sheet somehow @_@))I think you were thinking either of Prayer (increase faith), Exorcism (banish dark spirit) or one of your healing skills.

Hey, Demigoddess! If'n you had your magics back, would you able to bring back a dead thing? Say, an ox? - Duke asked, but this clearly offended Lyirah: What!? I'm not a goddess of rebirth, and bringing someone back from death is a blasphemy! - she yelled at Dennis.
Ah! A king in exile seeking aid of Abyss! - the spirit hissed out. Heed my words, for you still seem to be clueless - The eclipse is near, accompanied by deep silence complete. Helpless fear, of dark one's deed. Gods cry, when never is the sun. Then comes the night, and it is almost done. Realities fade to black...

Didn't we kinda avert the Dark One thing? Y'know, since the "when never is the sun" part is no longer valid.
Just wondering.
Well then we just need one of us to become the sun god and then everything's peachy.Didn't we kinda avert the Dark One thing? Y'know, since the "when never is the sun" part is no longer valid.

You only have 4 turns of sunlight left. When Nix's bless ends, the darkness will gradually return.
Story
Many years have passed since a great world war between kingdoms of Axewrath ended. Claiming it's bloody harvest, the war brought also disease outbreaks that taken lives of uncountable victims, turning many bustling with activity settlements into ghost towns. Literal ghost towns, as when humanity - losing it's faith due to horrors of great war, turned their backs on gods, dieties secretely thrown a powerful curse upon the world. Unsealing the gates to Underworld, they left the path open for dead, dark spirits and demons. To come, and take over whole Axewrath, beginning the Dark Age. In the first few days, cataclysm claimed even more lives than plagues. But with time, mankind learned how to defend themselves. Undead Hunters spread across the world, to keep up the spark of hope and bring back the faith in gods. However, undead hunters are only few, and their profession ensures that they're also short-lived.
I wonder if Kup used to be a Dragonmaster.He killed Qloth, so yes.
I don't know if dragons are equal to gods, but I know there is stuff that is at least 10 times stronger than the most powerful dragons.Am I one of them? :P
Updates!Yes! I love lore!
I have just updated following sections: Character Sheets, Bosses (added Kupameth), Unique Items (lots of new additions), Enemy Types (Darkrider and Undead Vegetation). You may find some lore additions there as well. If I've forgotten something when updating those sections, please inform me.
"Serrana, I apologize for dragging you from one place to another and always telling you what to do or what not to do. I never asked you what you truly wanted to do. If you want to, you could stay in the keep and return with the duke. Or do you still want to come with me?""I'd merely like to bring hope to others who don't have the power to do so themselves. I'll come along."

So this is not the end of Kupameth? Will he return? Because I still think he could be a powerful ally against the gods.
I don't think anyone will remain alive or sane. Everyone will be either dead, undead or crazy. At least I wouldn't like to see our characters returning. Maybe it wont even be the same setting or world.do you like to play with fire?
If players will return in the next game, I would like the characters having something go terribly wrong (like for example Reynald becoming a feral zombie or Pguh going insane because of forbidden knowledge.) during the time between the games.
For part 2 I want to play something different. I was thinking of something like a (slightly insane) pyromancer apprentice.
Tomorrow, to be precise. During last two weeks I had about two exams almost every day. On top of that, examination session starts next week, after which I may have enough time to get back to previous updating schedule - nearly every day.:D
There is still a great distance to cover before reaching ancient nests of wyverns, but it would be a waste of time to go back being halfway there.)
[6 +4] He flied further towards the nest, but stopped for a moment on one of nearby clearings. Undead vegetation immediately reacted, but the fire aura of elemental maelstrom repelled it away!
Wyvern's Scale - grants fire immunity and gives fire frenzy
Wyvern's Tooth - grants poison immunity, allows to poison weapons giving them +40 toxic damage and inflicts poison build-up (+5 toxic damage per turn for 6 turns), poison lasts 4 turns
Wyvern's eye - allows to see invisible enemies and grants clear vision in all conditions
Glass got a 5, I think that means he should atleast get a hint on to the location of some way to do a resurrection.
What percentage of "why Aaron Blaze didn't get the bone charm" was because of balance destruction?
(Dark One: Once he does, he will gain control over the entire army, right?)
About that: Do wyvern charms count as "draconic charms"?QuoteWyvern's Scale - grants fire immunity and gives fire frenzy

When I've specifically looked for draconic charms, those have been what I've gotten.
I'm still not quite clear on how the increased efficiency actually works, though.
collect the embers, and Stand my ground in a defensive stance. I am unfamilliar with demonic customs, but I know enough not to let them have the embers without good reason.(Not yet. Unless you absorb the embers, the army is probably going to kill you just because of their huge numbers, so I recommend absorbing the powers of the embers now to gain control over the army and gain Demon Lord powers.)
(So does this mean I am the horseman of Pestilince now?
Edit:Hooray for my second boss kill!)
I'm sick and I'll have my last exam in a few days, so next update may come either by weekend (If I'll feel better), or by next week.:( I hope you get better soon.

"If you need help, consider asking the Duke of the Keep for assistance. He's an old friend, so just tell him you are a Pguhyuh's friend and he will probably help you. If he doesn't trust your words, tell him that "Amethyst doesn't protect from drunkenness". He will probably still remember the day we entered the Keep together.""I can do that, once I am able to find a path there. Otherwise, I'm sticking with you--and Erlath here."
Rest to fully recover my health and try to create another portal back home.
((I was talking to the undead.))((Hard to tell when I have no goal or notation, sorry. >_<))
Updated character sheets and two sections (bosses and unique items), adding some more lore. Next turn may come tomorrow.:D
All of it. Tell me everything you can.
All of it. Tell me everything you can.
PM sent...
The void of creation is out of rolls area, accessible only when its ruler calls one."Ruler"? Interesting.
Aaron has no chance of becoming a wyvern, he might meet one though, but it wouldn't be a nice meeting - dragons are intruders, wyvern are natives.
((Wasn't posting because I'm lost and basically got left behind without a word >_> Doesn't help that I've no idea where I am anymore.))
Remember that messsage that had the details for martyrdom in it? Well, now's the time to apply the other half of it. If you don't remember it I'll resend for ya.
Edit: since I absorbed the demonic powers of Pestilince, do I have access to some of his abilities?
I'm currently talking with Axeworth. Dark, mind if I give some of the main details? I won't just copy-paste the discussion to here, just the points I think are most important.
You put me in a more difficult situation than the first fight with Kupameth :'(I'm currently talking with Axeworth. Dark, mind if I give some of the main details? I won't just copy-paste the discussion to here, just the points I think are most important.

Being fairly alone...Serrana decides to do what best she can with the situation.
Setup and create a safe zone where I can commune with the spirits (or at least start pathing my way into one); in the least, finding a way to help out Erlath would be my goal here.
((I'm right next to you, making a portal.))((I never got any response to my conversation or any idea on where I was given me being separated from you in formatting in the latest turn >_<))
((I giess since Serrana abandoned me, I'm going to have to ascend alone. I wonder why Reynald is closer to ascending than me.))((If ANYTHING was clearer, I would have a GOAL to do something! >_> I didn't even have the INTENT of abandoning whatever!))
((Reminder to Tiruin that the one-way portals stay open until I use the shard again. Serrana can still go to where Pguh is and help him.))Do this unless I can do it later, compared to communing with the spirits at present.

Turn 83Serrana haven't followed Pguhyuh into his portal and stayed at Height Keep's courtyard.
(didn't I have a regular, non plague horse before? Or did the demons kill it?)
Axeworth, I'd like to have a chat with you.
Axeworth, I'd like to have a chat with you.Corpses can't talk! :P
We agreed, he's a reincarnating entity. Where else would he be right now than in the god's energy space of creation? The only reason I'm not playing the next host of Lucifer is you said no new characters.
Immortality like that would be even more game breaking than four Aaron's in one place.Sigged.
Lysander is dead and now there's another random guy with the demon king powers but without his personality and memories. A different guy.Immortality like that would be even more game breaking than four Aaron's in one place.Also, going to sig that.
By the way, I'd expressed multiple times I wasn't in the location of my murder. I specifically sent my minions there so I could stay safe.
Oh, so I guess he's dead dead for real then. RIP future Lysanders.

You had also roleplayed going to the library and talking with Dennis on the way. ((Putting brackets)) or writing that the post has nothing to do with real actions could save Lysander.
Next game we get a new demon king, don't worry. New world, new screwed up chain, new king of the demon realm.As long that it's not just "Lysander 2.0", then I guess it's fine.
My grandma had died just an hour ago. The update will be postponed further...I know how it feels to lose a family member you are close to. Please, take your time and consider having a few months of hiatus or even abandoning the game if there is more important stuff you have to deal with. There is no pressure or hurry, so consider taking a break.

The gods are nothing, Reynald! It is the attention of Axewrath himself that has been drawn to this blight!
Anyway, have (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MVqdYcbDp8) some (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgBJeJ3-MWM) maybe applicable (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rPFuvXNzVM) battle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH2FK-nWT_s) music. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woFfdOhnyhM) ;)
Even if it's not applicable, it's certainly good, so there's that. :p
[5] While the army of undead, dark spirits and arcane constructs was approaching, two spectral figures appeared out of nowhere and created an impenetrable force field around Cilber and Reynald! It was Aaron and lost chunk of Lysander's soul - the concept of demon king!Considering that I was in spectral form much of the time before I ascended and had no issues communicating then, I see no reason why I would now.
No rolling for talking since you're there with him.
The game is slowly nearing to an end, and I've been thinking what I'd do next. There are high priority things that I should take care of, and things have been quite rough lately, but I think that I won't stop writing - whether it'd be a forum game or something completely different.
There are also other projects that I'm working on that involve quite a lot of time and dedication to finish. However, I'm taking my time with developing them and work on them in short creative outbursts.
I decided to give Undead Hunt a bit of rest before the potential sequel, and I already have got an idea for next RTD that might be quite satisfying. I may post it soon (maybe even today), or wait with it until current game ends, with the former being more likely.
Lysander is not fully revived, he's just a spectral projection of what he'd be if he succeeded, brought by Axeworth to motivate Reynald.
That may be partially because you've followed pacifist path. But still, it was Pguhyuh that triggered most of interaction and allowed them to follow their paths.
I hope Dennis finds somebody soon, so I can annoy them.
Can I see Pguhyuh's portal from where I am, Dark?
((Funny how Reynald suddenly became the main focus of the plot despite having absolute no idea about what's going on.))Serrana approached Pughyuh and asked him quietly: "While we were back there, Erlath seemed transfixed--the Abyss and the fortress only made him say two words. Height, and Altar. Do you know what this means? I feel like I'm very close to a path we can all take but I don't understand it. I can't ask him either because it's either something he sees and senses, or it's something we're close to and are missing."
Continue searchin for that portal.
((I sure hope Cilber has a second phase, otherwise I'm screwed.))He can heal himself. Probably will, too since I unleashed most of my damage in a initial flurry.
Enter that portal! We're almost there!
jab thread expectantly in hopes of finishing boss battle.I think it's because some players haven't posted yet.
((I sure hope Cilber has a second phase, otherwise I'm screwed.))"I've a feeling that that voice I heard had a tone of sincerity in it when it said something about Erlath, and this shrine. I hope this is the way to it.
Enter that portal! We're almost there!
I'm there too((Yes, but you are there as the concept of the demon king. He even changed appearance afte the mountains incident to a more inhuman figure, so he wouldn't recognize him. He instantly identified Aaron as he was a dragon the last time they meet and he continues to be one. Lysander went from human to lucifer-looking angel-demon to spectral vision of the concept of the demon king.))
I think I forgot where you wanted to go and send you to Cilber...((Doesn't matter. Game is still ending soon and there is no time.))
Wander through the portal, hoping to see my friends.(If this happens.)
If I end up in the same place as Pguyuh and Serrana, Masterful Taunt Ciiber.
(If I see him.)
"Hey Ciiber! Looks like things aren't going too well! Maybe a bit FALLEN apart? ...Wow, that was an awful one. Now you're gonna die and that stupid pun will be the last thing you ever heard! Sorry, but it really doesn't look like you're gonna last long enough for me to think of a better one!"
Then, whisper to Pguyuh and Serrana:"Hey, he's the bad guy, right? Fightin' Quiz and all."
(If this happens.)"You are mistaken. I am defending myself, as the fallen one decided to strike first when I entered the cathedral. He would have Sic'd his armies of undead and dark spirits upon me If not for the intervention of the gods and Aaron. He has declared himself the cause of our apocalypse, and a parasite to our creators. His existence is at the expense of the very world we live in."
"Hey, I missed you too. Well, I'm not really sure what's going on other than Cilber has been corrupted. Or maybe he had always been corrupted since the beggining. Of course, Inquisitor guy has decided yet again that violence is the answer. It seems to be working fine, but Cilber is still a divine being. Death might not be the end to his existence."
Distract Cilber with unending chatter and childish insults.
If you would just be patient, you'll get answers from one who knows far more than either of us. Axeworth will tell you the truth of the matter."let the Demonologist in, Aaron. I am more than capable of handling him if he proves troublesome. He will learn the truth, either through insight or death."
Fine, but I want you to swear. Swear that if Cilber is unrepentant, you will aid Reynald. You will avenge all demons that his actions have hurt and twisted. Do you promise me this?"If I'm still alive, sure."
Keep in mind, he lies, a lot!
"If I'm still alive, sure.""I have given you the very words he spoke to me upon meeting him. If you wish to ask him more, it will be a single question, and at sword point. I won't waste my effort to leave my attacker alive."
And with that, Pguhyuh crosses the forcefield.
"Inquisitor guy, it's been a long time."
"...Mind giving me a few moment with him before ending his life? Even if he used his power to fully heal himself, you are still far stronger than him. I just want answers. To hear the full truth."
"What about letting me ask as many questions as he wants to answer and then giving me the chance to try something on him? Once I'm done with it you can kill me, if that's what you want.""If I'm still alive, sure.""I have given you the very words he spoke to me upon meeting him. If you wish to ask him more, it will be a single question, and at sword point. I won't waste my effort to leave my attacker alive."

Once I'm done with it you can kill me, if that's what you want.""I have no interest in fighting or slaying you. It is Cilber who will have my blade at his neck. He attacked me unprovoked with intent to kill, and I will not allow this action to go unpunished."
"I have no interest in fighting or slaying you. It is Cilber who will have my blade at his neck. He attacked me unprovoked with intent to kill, and I will not allow this action to go unpunished.""He will be punished, I assure you. But I still want to try talking with him. Just give me some momments with him and then you can finish him off. If what I try fails, I'll assit you if he attacks."
"you will not interfere, Demonologist. This is my fight, and mine alone. You will ask your one question and that will be all I will allow. Do not test my patience.""I have no interest in fighting or slaying you. It is Cilber who will have my blade at his neck.

Beump. Waiting for Tiruin.I thought I posted :'(
Wow, last post was at the third day of May. Might as well just bump the thread, give you hopes that there was an update, and write an actual turn next week because there's so much to do and I'm involved with so many things that I'm not in my writing mood.
To Glass: You're going to stay as the last person who had posted in Hall of Fame for nearly a half year! *ominous chuckle*
I could let my other RTDs die, because they haven't really took off far. But whenever I work on something for a long time and it's due to be finished, I always get back to it. I'm busy with university and different stuff. I had set up a game development studio. (http://www.moddb.com/company/blackrite-interactive) The only announced project associated with it is on a hiatus, but we're working on an unannounced project that may see the light of the day in a few weeks.That looks awesome. :oSpoiler: Unannounced project WIPs (click to show/hide)
That's Height Keep. The project is set in Undead Hunt universe, but the story is much different. The plot would reveal a lot about the Underworld and origins of Darkriders. It's as if the plot of RTD never happened, or happened millenia later.That's pretty cool. What kind of game is it going to be? Action RPG?
Can I still play an insolent yet weirdly durable peasant?

Ooooh, I see what are you aiming for and I really love the idea. I hope I get the chance to play it when it's released.Can I still play an insolent yet weirdly durable peasant?
When playing, you would be given only character's name and gender (it's pre-set). Backstory would be up to you.What kind of game is it going to be? Action RPG?
Have you ever played Heretic or/and Hexen series? Match it with TES III directional attacks, Dark Souls weapon arts and difficulty, rolling, useful yet not overpowered parrying, spells based on finding runes, regenerating energy for attacks and spells, black metal soundtrack and deppressing horror atmosphere.
I'm yet to implement a lot of things, but most of it (if not everything) should be quite easy to do. It just takes a lot of time, and all members of the team are busy with something, working on it on and off.
+1 to that. Sounds like it’ll be really interesting!Ooooh, I see what are you aiming for and I really love the idea. I hope I get the chance to play it when it's released.Can I still play an insolent yet weirdly durable peasant?

Thanks for keeping us posted, dark one.
So long as we know that you haven't forgotten the game, we'll wait for as long as it takes. Don't worry.I agree with them. You can delay as long as you need and we will wait patiently for your return.
now is the time. Knock the fight out of him while he is on the ground with a Mighty Strike, a Skullcrusher fueled with the Sacrifices I made to get to this point. Execute him after the Demonologist asks his question.Would you mind changing that to "after I do my full action"? I assure you he will be more weakened after it, if it goes well.
Yes, I would. Reynald takes his honor very seriously, and will not like you interfering in his duel. He explicitly stated this.now is the time.

You know this is way more important to Pguh, as he knew Cilber. It's no longer about honor and such, but about the the chains and the universe. You can kill him after I try the thing, otherwise Pguh is going to try to block the shot with his body.Yes, I would.

Random, don't do anything stupid.
Just so that we’re clear: the best case scenario for purifying Cliber (which I’m pretty sure is what you’re trying to do) is that it’ll destroy him, or greatly weaken him. He’s not some person, demon, or angel that was cursed or altered in some way - nor is he one of the actual deities became “corrupted”. He is, essentially, a sentient glitch in reality that decided that it wanted to both spread itself and keep living for as long as possible, and decided that the best way to do both was to corrupt the entirety of the chains and the gods and worlds that reside on them.
In the worst case? You’ll accomplish nothing. Or possibly make him stronger. Or almost literally cause anything to happen. We have no idea.
Unless Dark has sent you PMs telling you what would happen if this went right, it’s probably best to just let Dustan finish his duel.
((I've been reading back and admittedly the main problem for me is the recency--I just entered a game where people's folks all know each other and the conflicts therein >_> I don't know WHAT to act now as I didn't see anything happen))
The game will end exactly at turn number one hundred, and have the epilogue thingy afterwards (or - How RNG made you die to a flaming pig).((Oh, I wonder what will those last 10 turns be if my thingy works well.))
Tir, you just need to get to a shrine and get your spirit guy to open it up for you. Okay?I know. It's more that I'm lost in the scenery. >.> Nudging like these doesn't help me be attached. :-\
dark one, you seem to have forgotten what Sacrifice does. It forces my roll to act as a 5, which means that the second attack SHOULD HAVE CONNECTED. And that's on top of giving ascension to the guy who did barely anything regarding this particular chain and had his own objective to do for ascension.I'm not sure why I ascended either, I thought it was pretty clear that I wasn't going to be able to ascend and that's why I picked dying over wasting everyone's time again. I don't really care if Pugh ends in hell forever or is erased from existence instead, and I think it might have been a little unfair for Reynald even if the inquisitor ended there by pure accident. But I guess it's ok because the plan worked out and everyone was saved? There also are 10 turns left, so Reynald can still probably ascend.
Suffice to say, I am more than a little miffed that happened when I was doing everything in my power to proceed.
I had just sent randomgenericusername a PM with stuff regarding next turn. Nothing was left of Cilber in the Cathedral. Other places though...
[4] Pguhyuh's sacrifice paid off well! Cilber was completely cleansed off all his taint and corruption, then exploded, releasing a massive wave of energy that cleansed the whole world! As it moved, undead, dark spirits and demons were turned back to humans!Actually, you basically removed all of that. Reynald is now a soldier without purpose. In your own turn, you screwed any chance of ascension OR purpose reynald might have gotten.
So... do I have a body again?
Axeworth casted Aaron and Lysander back, just before they were about to say goodbye to everyone.
Don't worry about that, I always have a plan.I had just sent randomgenericusername a PM with stuff regarding next turn. Nothing was left of Cilber in the Cathedral.

You weren't useless at all. Pguh probably couldn't have survived for so long alone and it was good to at least have someone to talk to and interact with.Thanks c: It's just most great RtDs that finish have me playing in the middle, so I feel a bit out of the tight-knitness...and that I missed all context clues on what a 'shrine' is at all in this game world >_<
Your character was fun. I think the bit where Dennis talked the kindly priestess into speculating on what method she'd use to hypothetically kill all her friends if turned evil was one my favorite points in the game....I... don't remember that part. :|
Reynald would stand starring at the remains of Cilber. Was this truly the end of it all? Him being a crusader for a crusade that never happened? All the horrors he experienced, all the fighting, and it was for nothing? For the first time since the darkness fell across the land Reynald felt lost, hopeless, Purposeless.Hopefully interrupting this reverie, Serrana greets Reynald in silence.
Dennis waves to Serrana with one hand, while cradling his injured leg with the other."Of course! ...Before I ascend, I would also like to confess that I'm merely an initiate, a newly fledged Exorcist, so certain terms did not make sense to me. If anyone asks."
"Hey, uh, before you ascend or whatever it is you're doing, would you mind healing my leg? It got hurt...somehow."
" Because if creation was truly perfect, "flaws" like this shouldn't exist at all because there wouldn't be a concept for it in the first place unless it originated from it's creator. In which case, it wasn't truly a perfect creation."
with fire and sword!
Axeworth said that it was all supposed to be perfect, and it was for a while, and then Cliber somehow manifested and corrupted everything." Because if creation was truly perfect, "flaws" like this shouldn't exist at all because there wouldn't be a concept for it in the first place unless it originated from it's creator. In which case, it wasn't truly a perfect creation."
((I don't really think any of the gods and cosmic beings we've interacted with have suggested the universe is perfect, more like it's an endless cycle of mistakes and entropic apocalypses run mostly by ascended mortals and other substitute deities because the creator was driven mad and basically killed by the effort of holding back the void that spawned him and a cancerous fallen angel was constantly corrupting worlds until just now.))

I'll go back into my PMs and find the applicable passages.
"there is a place for words and deeds, and there is a place for bloodshed and battle. They will not always be in equal measure, but do not mistake my actions to be bloodshed for the purpose of bloodshed alone."Yet, Cilber must have originated from something or someone that was already corrupted. Don't you think so? Cilber, he probably is just one of many. Many will probably come after him. There's no dobut that the corruption itself isn't exactly "good" for us, but shouldn't we be looking for the reason of it's existence and origin instead of treating it's symptoms? I would rather not participate of another meaningless conflict against something we don't even fully understand."
You might not have seen the beginning of my fight with Cilber, but the moment I had arrived he descended upon me with his glaive poised to pierce my heart. Had I not been trained to expect combat, his attack may well have ended me, and in turn ended everyone else as he absorbed my power."
You need to go talk to your dad.
Or something to that effect.
Yes.You need to go talk to your dad.
Or something to that effect.
To ascend, right? Dennis is consciously turning that opportunity down in favor of a normal life.
[6 +2] Then she used her faith healing skill to fully cure everyone in the cathedral. Suddenly, she felt presence of countless spirits around her and felt that they're taking her to the realm of spirits! Your connection with spirits was always very strong. This is what makes you a best candidate for a spiritual guide, a link between the realms! - the spirit exclaimed
"Hehe. Those two stuck in the same chariot ride. That'd be somethin' to see. Well Sarah, looks like we did it. The world is safe, and you're probably goin' off to become a goddess-type somewhere or another. I'd come with, but...I don't really want to? Now that I got myself my ox and a world where things aren't dyin' constantly under a black sun, I think I'd rather stick around and enjoy this place. I'll see you off, and then I'm goin' back home. Thanks for fixin' the leg, by the way.""A bridge doesn't mean I'll be gone from one or ther other; this means I can be elsewhere at once, like Pugh's portals. I've a lot of feelings to sort out but I'll be helping the rest of you in the meantime."

I apologize in advance for the "Club Penguin instructional video" quality. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDi_9Q2mfhU)Not bad for a quickly hashed together credit roll. Well done!
This was great. It was better than any other RTD I've played, by far. Certainly, I was more attached to Dennis than I was to most of my D&D characters.
And I survived the whole way, too! Peasants forever! Now don' worry, I'm sure the rest o' your classes and such were plenty of fun and all, even if they weren' the best.
