"Why thank you! I think they'll prove very useful..."

Yell to ATHATH:
WHAT DO YOU WANT?! IF YOU WANT THE TIME MACHINE BLUEPRINTS, YOU CAN TAKE THE, AND DO WITH THEM WHAT YOU WILL!

Take the blueprints. Cast a spell of assembly to create the time machine.
FUCK YOU! THERE'S AN ATHATH IN FRONT OF ME, AND AN ATHATH FAR AWAY, AND YOU ARE NOT THE ONE CLOSE ENOUGH TO GET THESE BLUEPRINTS! IF YOU COME ANYWHERE NEAR THESE, I'L BURN THEM MYSELF!
Light a match, to show I mean business.
"I just want the blueprints and any existing time machines destroyed- I don't want to be wiped from the timestream again."

"You don't know how to make a time machine, do you? Don't worry, if you do, I'll just remove the knowledge of how to build it from your head instead of killing you."


Destroy the blueprints if I am given permission to.


What? Being a physical incarnation of evil and destruction doesn't mean that I can't approach things diplomatically.
Drop the blueprints on the ground.
I have no intention to do any such thing, I only wish to live a life. Take them, and do with them whatever you will.

(ATHATH destroying plans)3

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

Walk away from Moorsburg. Run if need be.

5

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

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

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

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

Challenge the Past.
2
To the past! Honestly, I enjoyed my past. And besides, given its unchangeability, and the fact that we're all alive right now, it means that we physically cannot die while we're there.
2
Head on down to the cave to meat back up with my team.

Hey guys, what did I miss while I was stopping the apocalypse?
5
Challenge the past. If we're to face something eldritch and terrifying, then we'll face it together.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6, 2

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

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

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

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

3

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

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

3

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

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

6+1

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

Shoot the Readabilty SWAT with my charge rifle.

5-1 (For previous loss) vs 5

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



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

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

EDIT: autocorrect turned "parry" into "party"...

Gold. That grail is made of gold.
Gold equals riches, riches equals greed, greed equals sin. Onyx gems are black, black equals darkness and darkness equals evil.

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

That's the idea Random, they are our evil twins, that is why mine blew up, because Fallacy's prior attempt made precedent that evil twins of Adam don't work.

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

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

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

I'm stoppin' till' I'm a long way from that feckin' cursed shithole of a town.
Go to high ground, climb it, and see how far I am from Moorsburg. If I'm still close, then coninue walking/running away from it. I've seen what Milk-induced madness can do to people, and I'd rather be far away this time. If I do find a nice place,build a shelter from sticks and moss, then start a fire. If I'm far away from Moorsburg where I am, then build the shelter and light the fire here, I suppose it can't hurt.
