The world turns. Beneath you, the people of your adopted town await your thoughts, sitting in silence. One of their own has perished, her spirit ascending to the realm of the gods. This is a time of great anticipation, for your choice is a vast one. In one month's time, you will become a fixture of this place, trapped behind the gates of heaven. You have until then to re-assume a mortal form, or accept your new life as a spirit of the beyond.

It is not a difficult choice. The surface has always been your home, and the people of this world now hold your heart. You can't help but feel you'd be abandoning them by making a new life in this plane, so far above them. You can't help but feel you belong down there, sharing in their pain and joy alike, laughing with them, fighting by their side. By the grace of your gods you have been given another chance, one among many. It shouldn't be wasted.

But there is one thing, at least, that you should do before you go. The powers and perceptions of this realm are yours, for the moment, to command. And there is something you wish to see.

The garrison of Fairnest unfolds before your ethereal eyes. With Hretmar's aid, you enter the cathedral of the mages, searching for your place of rest. Your power draining quickly, you find the object, that tiny wooden box lying untouched at the side of your bed. You peer inside, vision clouded by fringes of white. A ring, inscribed with shining runes, lies within. Waiting for your return, as patient as can be.

Oh joy!
I love this quest <3

rolled 1, 5, 4 = 10

You have one month to do as you please up here. It was suggested that you explore this plane for a week at most, and then reincarnate as a Frost Giant, as close in form to your original body as possible.

Thoughts?

>>8666623
Try to find out as much as possible about various heads of state, and their personal lives.
This information could be useful.

Uhm and also find out troop movements, political happenings, etc etc.
Basically just spying and information gathering.

>>8666728
>>8666752
Very well. Any preference for which areas of government you would like to observe, or would you like to maintain a general focus?

>>8666802
General state of Perin/Forus war mainly, how war is progressing, where main forces are. Also try to find best way to get to the great wall of knowledge (or whatever it's called).

>>8666802
Err..
A general focus. Don't delve too deeply, just get a general idea on things.

>>8666623
This. And as for what we do, let's look in on the current King of Perin. See what he's like.

>>8666934
Hello Sam I haven't seen you around in a while~

rolled 3, 4, 3 = 10

You inform your adopted family that you will remain apart for a week, possibly more. You have a fine opportunity to gather information, one that you might not get ever again. Of course, you will return before the month is up. The twins, as you expected, ask you to share any 'sensitive' information with Intelligence, just in case it could help end the war more quickly. As you cut the link, Hretmar advises you to be as careful as possible, since being a spirit does not make you invincible.

For the next few days, you extend your vision over the Capitol and the advancing fronts of Perin's army. Many government buildings, command posts, and even private residences turn out to be shielded from scrying, blocking your sight. An enormous haze, like a genuine fog of war, hangs over much of the Southwest, obscuring troops and supply lines on both sides of the battlefield. Despite these setbacks, you persist, finding ways to peek behind the walls that defend from prying eyes.

The Lord of Perin rarely ventures out of the palace, only coming out to make one short speech and to make the short trip to the Conclave's temple. He seems to be a rather gruff, stern man, though it is clear that the removal of the underground threat has put him more at ease. His son, Prince Cear, is the high commander of the Second Army, currently laying siege to the Forusian fortress-city of Baccira. The two could not be more different; where Lord Olan is insular, uncompromising, and generally unhappy, Cear is optimistic, friendly, and quite lenient with discipline.

rolled 5, 2, 6 = 13

The anti-scrying enchantments make it difficult to discern much more than your targets' personalities, but even the tiniest bit of information can prove useful. Most of the upper administrators are confident that the war will soon end with Forus's surrender, though some of the Intelligence and Conclave leaders believe that swaying the frost demon to Perin's side, at least temporarily, could massively reduce expected casualties. The prevailing thought seems to be that Forus was relying far too heavily on the incursion plan, and can now be easily beaten.

Much of Perin's internal structure has been damaged. Plantations have burned, entire towns have been consumed by the earth, and the very shape of the land has changed. Reconstruction is proceeding, but will be ridiculously limited in scope until the military stops drawing so many resources. The First, Second, Third, and Fifth armies are all making steady progress, from what little you can see, but the Fourth and Sixth have been bogged down in the mountains of Northern Forus.

The enemy seems to be growing desperate, going as far as to make use of 'abominations' lashed together from human, golem, and elemental material. These horrible things are extremely effective in battle, but seem to be coming apart at the seams everywhere you look, probably dying very quickly after their creation. As for the old Frost Giant city of Karok, far to the North, the demon of ice seems to be slowly making its way there, dragging a caravan of slaves that extends even beyond its anti-scrying field. The city itself, or what remains of it, is open to you, but the lower levels cannot be accessed, even by Hretmar. The wall of knowledge is still beyond your vision.

Where did SubProc go?

>>8667120
Um, hello?

rolled 2, 5, 1 = 8

>>8667300
There was a lot of ground to cover. Do you want me to be more succinct in the future?

>>8667315
No, it's fine. It's just that you didn't leave a message with your usual "writeup incoming" post, so I thought that you'd left or something. Entirely my bad.

How is Perin thinking they can convince the Ice Demon to temporarily ally with them?

rolled 6, 3, 1 = 10

>>8667400
There are many different plans, some involving an offering of some sort, from the souls of captured Forusians to the entire enemy state itself. A few members of the Conclave believe that they can bind the demon to the will of man, either sealing it within an artifact again or using a 'simple' control spell.

>>8667461
What will happen to us when we come back? With the government and military I mean. Are we going to be some kind of hero?

>>8667461
Oh, I like the idea of re-binding it. Well. So, are we in general agreement that we'll be coming back as a female frost giant?

I have a currently irrelevant question.

If we specialized in Earth magic, would we be able to create specific metals or transmute elements, like, say, pure iron, or alkali metals, or such?

I ask because, as everyone who graduated from high school knows, electricity was discovered as being "what happens when dissimilar metals are immersed in an acid." Of course it wouldn't specifically HAVE to be an acid, any decent electrolyte would do. We could make and charge and magically recharge huge batteries. We could also make and shape a giant-sized metal-bodied resonator guitar, create a simple moving-coil microphone, and make a decent magnetic speaker with Rare Earth Metal magnets and copper wire, insulate all the electronic parts with solid non-conductive rock, and then with our battery backpack, microphones, huge giant-portable speakers, and oversized resonator guitar, we could begin to teach this world the true power of metal.

>>8667503
I think so.
Also, what's the plan with Kel?

>>8667518

Also, we could totally make nukes with simple gun-type assemblies, the hard part was always getting enough fissionable material and we could make or manipulate uranium or plutonium metals, but that's rather obviously a far less powerful weapon.

rolled 5, 4, 4 = 13

>>8667500
Most likely not. For one thing, you were not acting alone. For another, you released a force potentially more dangerous than the one that was eliminated. It could be argued that you saved the nation and doomed it at the same time. You could probably obtain a minor title of nobility due to circumstances, especially with Ceril backing you, but the government at large is not particularly enamored with you, for the above reasons and others.

>>8667518
It would be easier to do that with Alchemy than earth magic. It is entirely possible to transmute elements, and to create matter outright, but both are energy-intensive activities.

>>8667520
We'll burn that bridge when we come to it. I figure we'll reincarnate back at the barracks, collect our stuff. Assuming they don't re-enlist us, we'll head back and see how he acts. I for one and for accepting, but I realize that this is uncomfortable for at least one or two of the people who have said so in the past.

>>8667612

Ah.

Then I say we specialize in Alchemy upon our return.
Is there a race that would give us a huge Alchemy advantage, or are they all about the same?

rolled 1, 3, 5 = 9

>>8667716
The Aquen (sea-dwellers) and Rahm (desert-dwellers) are both known to have a high proportion of Alchemists to 'regular' mages. Of the races your gods are aware of, none have any real innate skill with alchemy.

Sounds like it's more a case of tradition and inclination than natural skill, in that light.

>>8667801
>some races have more alchemists than others, but innate skill isn't really an issue
Okay. Frost Giant it is then, I guess.

>>8667801
Alright. Is there anything else we should go over, or shall we start to reincarnate now?

rolled 1, 2, 5 = 8

>>8667915
You should probably give Ceril a heads-up before you Doctor Manhattan onto her doorstep. Otherwise, you have three weeks before you're stuck in the upper planes. You're free to explore some more, if you wish.

>>8667557
>nukes
This can't POSSIBLY go wrong!

rolled 1, 3, 2 = 6

>>8667960
Also, if you want to retrieve what remains of your armor, weapons, or magical items before they melt, you have a few days. Ilian has already lifted some of Loken's and Supra's equipment out, and could do the same for you.

Earlier you described the upper planes here as being specific to the planet and such, like a plane that only intersects with realspace at that one point. Does that mean we won't be able to explore the moon to see if their Baron Munchausen really existed and really made it to the moon?

>>8668097
YES. If they can get the Magma Steel armor, that would be great. Also, give Ceril ample warning before we come back.

>>8668106

Also, related question, if the afterlife is specific to the planet, does anyone know what would happen to the good Baron Munchausen if he died on the Moon?

rolled 2, 3, 4 = 9

>>8668106
Only the first-level planes, known colloquially as the Realm of the Gods, orbit the planet. Above those, you jump into the levels common to this area of the universe, and above those, all of existence. It's a hierarchy.

As for the moon, you can see it from where you are. Your vision is extremely limited, since none of the gods you know include it in their domain, but from what reaches you, it looks as gray and barren as the old one. Nothing of note.

>>8668166
The moon is covered by the planet's first-level planes. His soul would have entered the realm, unless it was deliberately destroyed by something.

rolled 4, 1, 5 = 10

Contacting Ceril was not as easy as you thought. Being the daughter of an Intelligence man, it seems only proper for her to be well-protected against spirits and the divine. Thankfully, Captain Sae was around to take the call, and was more than happy, after recovering from shock, to pass you over to the Commander.

You explained what happened as best you could, and she took it well, you think. You are not the first spirit she has spoken to, but you are the first that was one of her 'men'. She asked if you had seen or talked to anyone from the garrison, but unfortunately, you had not. You didn't venture out of Hretmar's influence the whole time.

The question of whether or not you will be returning to military service can be answered later. At the moment, you have some things to pick up.

Signaling Hretmar as you close the link, you sink back into the familiar blackness of the realm, feeling the soft lights of the other gods blink into the night around you. One moment, you are a spirit, floating free. The next, you are on the ground, your nerves blazing with a quickly-fading fire. You drop to your knees, wrapping your arms around your midsection. You feel... whole again. As the brief, sharp pain fades into nothing, you begin to stand, warily, finding balance easier than you thought it would be. You're in the garrison cathedral, wearing rough, canvas overalls. At least they remembered clothes.

>>8668486
Great success! So, let's pick up our things and give everyone our best wishes.

>>8668486

Alright, we've got some stuff to pick up.

Also, there's the little matter of the lord promising that whole elevation to the nobility thing to whoever could stop the incursions. We ought to collect on that.

rolled 5, 3, 2 = 10

>>8668789
Would you like to head back to town first?

>>8668901
Alright. Let's start the trek back to Dreamwood. And where did everyone go?

rolled 1, 3, 5 = 9

>>8668983
Perhaps it is simply a slow day. Or some of /tg/'s regulars might be outside, given that the weather's nice. In any case, there is the matter of the ring, and what to do about it once you get there.

>>8669014
Well.. since I'm the only one here, I guess it falls to me to make these decisions. Accept it. Kel seems nice enough, and we've known him for some time now. Though you're going to have to do this very carefully SubProc, if you wish to avoid weirding people out. Not me of course, this is all par for the course for me, but there are some who aren't as comfortable with the idea.

>>8669014
Sure, accept the ring. Thank him. See where it goes from there.

rolled 4, 1, 1 = 6

>>8669075
>>8669132
Alright. Skipping to Dreamwood.

rolled 3, 5, 2 = 10

It's funny, how real it all is. Here you are, in a world of war and magic, skipping along in a body made by gods. This is your 'normal' now. This is what life is like in your environment. The trees pass more and more rapidly as you gain speed, testing out your new legs. They seem longer, thinner, untrained. You'll have to fix that last part.

The days rush by as you travel, hunting for food with a makeshift spear. It's like old times, when you first arrived, surviving on instinct in an unfamiliar land. Nostalgic, in a way. With a little help from Hretmar, you make it through, passing burnt clearings where Demons once arose from the earth, sneaking past outposts once a flurry of activity. You reach Dreamwood, not two weeks out, with your helpful god heralding your return.

You come home. Everyone, from the oldest to the youngest, has turned out to see you. You walk through the palisade like a conquering hero, to cheers of adoration and welcome. Dreman shouts that he's re-making your crossbow, with the best material he can find. Vasian tells you he's found out about some things you might want to know, as do the twins. The elders then inform you that Jerith will be back in a week or so, all amidst the roar of the small crowd. But none of it seems very important to you right now.

There is one person among the hundred who stands out. Who looks, not at you, but at the ground , silent and with a blank face. You gravitate toward him, blocking out the praises and questions of the others, moving forward while the rest trail behind. His eyes reach yours as you come to a stop, smiling despite yourself.

“I... suppose you opened the box,” he says sheepishly, to which you nod. “I hope you like the ring.” A painful pause. “It's yours, Maya. You don't have to do anything you don't want to.”

rolled 5, 2, 5 = 12

>>8669578
The ring, as he says, is yours. No strings attached, as far as that's possible. You thank him, and he manages a whispered 'you're welcome', clearly uncomfortable. With the entire town within fifteen feet of you, maybe this isn't the best time to sort out feelings.

>>8669578
Let's hear what Vasian and the twins have to say.

>>8669654
Let's go somewhere private to talk to him. As you said, doing it with the crowd around probably isn't the best idea, though this kind of thing really shouldn't be kept waiting. Though I'm all for accepting right now.

Wait
FUCK
WE DIDN'T TRY TO CONVINCE SUPRA TO REINCARNATE WITH US?

Ah, shit.
Well, um.
We should talk to Kell a little later, when we aren't the center of everyones attention.
For now, we can let pretty much everything ride.
Let's just spend time with our family.
We never finished the story of Samurai Jack, right?
We should do that tonight

>>8669783
She's probably going to reincarnate, don't worry. Last I heard she was leaning that way. It's not like she'd have come with us though.

>>8669920
I was hoping that we would be able to convince her to reincarnate as a frost giantess with us.

rolled 6, 4, 1 = 11

>>8669694
Kel welcomes the break in tension. He seems to be almost as conflicted as you, if that's possible. And here you thought that things were easier in fantasy-land.

You turn to the twins first, since they're the closest. One of their contacts, they say secretively (despite the surroundings), has informed them of a movement within the Intelligence department. Apparently, some are all for actually allying with the frost demon, not just using it to defeat Forus. There isn't much more information than that, but if the contact is to be believed, a few of those people are fairly high up in the organization, with some real influence. Troubling.

Vasian is next, imploring you to lean down, as his voice is failing. He has acquired a book that mentions the Bleeding Sun. As you feared, he is quite a bit more powerful than any of the gods you've met, and probably legitimately insane. You should read it for yourself, when you have the time. There is a lot more than he can explain in a minute.

>>8669769
You'll have a private talk with him when everything is less hectic. You've just come back from the dead, so you have to have some leeway here.

>>8669783
She refused when you asked. She has one more week to decide, but she's probably going to come back as a human, in her hometown.

rolled 3, 4, 1 = 8

>>8669988
What exactly would you like to say to her? She was fairly attached to her original body, and being human in general.

>>8669992
Oh, I do so love insane over-deities. As for allying with the Ice Demon... do not want. Use it to defeat Forus and then destroy it or seal it away, that's what I think.

>>8670012
Well, the way I was hoping to spin it was that the next big crisis that's coming up is the Frost Demon
If we could convince her that we felt that it was our (Maya's) fault that it was released, and to stop the demon from destroying everything we tried to save that we were reincarnating.
It wouldn't be easy, and it would probably result in our deaths, but it's what needs to be done.
We know Supra has already sacrificed a lot, and that we have no right to expect her to do anything for us, but only want her to know that if she's up for it, we could use another giant blue helping hand in our quest to stop the demon from making slaves of the frost giants.
Also that frost giants get a huge natural bonus for ice based magic.
More elqouent than that, of course

>>8670129
Wow my grammar was bad.
So tl:dr
Frost Demon is bad news and kind of our fault
Demons first move will be to subjugate the frost giant tribes
A frost giantess is ideally suited for dealing with this situation
pls halp

>>8670184
>>8670129
Ahem. Anyway, I know it's a long shot.
I just wanted to run it by her.
Moving on.
>>8669992
See how well everyone has been getting on since we left.
Check on kids of the village, they're probably up to our shins by now.
They grow like weeds you know

>>8670059
I agree with that.

>>8669654
Does giving a ring to a woman in Perin means the same as in here?

What about that guy (sorry forgot the name) from our group that was intending to reincarnate into guardian spirit? Did we got a chance to talk to him and propose that he chooses Dreamwood as a place to guard?

Also try to use magic, does anything happen?

>>8670262
Whatever a ring means in Perin, I think it's obvious Kell is sweet on us.

This is both heartwarming and slightly disturbing

rolled 3, 3, 3 = 9

You should have expected there would be a party. The entire town is celebrating your return, intent on going all through the night. Since you've lost your magical talents, all you can do is give the children rides, a tradition you think will stick around for a long while. When feast time rolls around, Vasian and the hunters put on a play for the rest of you, something the old scholar wrote up while you were 'indisposed'.

It is a tale of a lone Frost Giant beating back the mighty forces of hell with a gigantic sword forged from metal wands, a hilariously embellished version of the latest part of your life, with parts of Doom and Berserk that you've mentioned mixed in. Maya, Conqueror of the Red Planet, slashes her way through hordes of multicolored Demons in a massive stone complex, first with her fists and a small knife, and later with the aforementioned 'BFS', a weapon taller than you, with the power to slay thousands with fiery green rays.

After the last act, you take Kel aside as discreetly as you can, counting on the elders to keep the rest from noticing that the giant blue woman has disappeared again.

The poor hunter repeats, in no uncertain terms, that you're free to do whatever you want. The ring is a gesture, conveying his (for lack of a better term) 'interest' in you. Basically, since you have already died (regardless of your return), you're even less obligated than you would normally be. Custom, as usual, is a convoluted mess, but the gist of it is, you can accept or reject the gift with no repercussions, or choose to enter a 'deeper' relationship. No pressure, of course.

>>8670371
Kel is so sweet.
But, on the other hand, something about this situation doesn't seem right.
Does he know maya used to be a male human?
And if we do choose to pursue this relationship, would we, well
You know.

So now we're the doom marine?

You can do this at any time, but Hretmar has been running himself ragged keeping you in touch with everyone. It should at least wait until morning.

>>8670249
Things are pretty much perfect. Work on expanding the village has continued, the children are all growing, learning, and being generally good, and without the threat of Demons crawling up out of the ground and setting everything on fire, people are at ease again.

>>8670262
Giving a ring (or any jewelry) indicates that the giver wishes to initiate a relationship, or move it to the next level.

Thatos is not about to become the Guardian of a place he has never seen and has no real connection to. He's made up his mind, and is probably inextricably attached to his hometown by now.

>>8670471
Wow, we're running the big guy ragged aren't we?
We really need to think up a way to thank Hretmar for saving our blue ass so many times

rolled 3, 1, 6 = 10

>>8670466
He knows. It's obviously no secret to the town. However, the fact that you chose to come back as a female, and not as a male, tells you something. You're not sure what, but it's something. To you, a 4channer from New York, this has all been 'fucking weird' from the start.

>>8670493
On more than one occasion, he has said he requires no thanks. The best way to keep him happy would probably be to stop throwing yourself into the fire.

I believe polymorphing may have certain other applications that may be of use to us.
Logistically speaking.
If you know what I mean

>>8670687
I don't. Logistically? We can move faster and cover more ground when we're big, so it makes sense in that regard. It seems like being small would only be good if we don't want to be noticed. And like I said before, two days is probably not enough.

Still, leave it to Perin. We're in no shape to go after it now. And after all we've been through, I'm not sure we'd want to. We've lost our magic, some of our armor, our weapons, and our life. I don't want us to hurry back into that kind of thing. Let the country handle it for once.

I vote we settle down for some time, help villagers, try to gain back some of our magic powers as well as train physically. We could also get few new people, after discussing it with villagers of course.

Well. Here you are, a reincarnated Frost Giant with the brain of a male from Earth standing behind the main hall in a human town, about to be engaged to a hunter. There is literally no way you could ever, ever have anticipated this. Or the fact that you seem to be fine with this. Constantly facing maiming and death must have forced you to mellow out a little.

The ring slips onto your finger, its silver runes gleaming in the moonlight. Kel tenses, and you can't help but chuckle.

“I like it. It fits perfectly,” you say, admiring it carefully.

The hunter scratches the back of his head, slightly hunched as if he's expecting an attack. “About... uh-” he trails off, with a confused look on his face.

“I'd be glad to,” you answer, smiling. “But I don't think they make dresses in my size.”

For a moment, he just stands there, dumbstruck. And then you both burst out laughing, holding your sides like you just heard the funniest joke in the world. Some things don't change, no matter where you are.

>>8671192
>I think he might have gotten the days confused. He's said in talks after the quest that he plans to make BNW a Tuesday thing primarily, so if he put in Thursday I'm guessing he just typo'd.

Considering that we've been in a female body for over a year, with female hormones and chemical makeup, I'm guessing our mind has changed ever so slightly as well. It's not really gay.

We're not so little, but we've got the girl thing down pat

We were a human male. The we suddenly arrived here with our male mind intact in a female Frost Giant body. Now we've come back and chose a female Frost Giant body to reincarnate as.

>>8671269

AAAAAARGHHH, FUCK, YOU GUYS ALREADY REINCARNATED!

GOTDOMMIT FRONK!

I WANTED TO SUGGEST STAYING UP THERE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AND TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO MAKE OUR NEW BODY BETTER. EITHER BY GETTING OUR BRO GODS TO PULL SOME STRINGS AND TO SEE IF OTHER GODS OR MORTALS KNOW OF ANYTHING.
Like making out body even more prone to learning magic, or making it lighter but just as strong so that we don't crush everything, or making it stronger, or reincarnating while including internal armor, or having adamantine coated bones, or having a wicked charm/rune inscribed on the back of our skull, or having eyes that shoot LASERS!

FUUUUUCK THERE WERE MANY POSSIBILITIES TO CHOOSE FROM !

>>8671233
So, who's been making epic craft checks to forge a dress made of the finest material available, in epic proportions, because face it>>8666502
we have epic tits.
Also, is the dress going to be white...seems kind of tacky on a blue person IMO.

SubProc's said before that we can't do that.

You don't have to wear one unless you want to. It's not as if Kel has a suit of any kind. These are simple people.

>>8671481
Not with Reconstructive Reincarnation, no. But that's not the only spell in the realm.

Well, I was hoping that our relationship would be a long and happy one, but I suppose I'm willing to settle for short and exciting

>>8670949
FOR FUCK'S SAKE NOW YOU GUYS ARE MARRYING KEL !?
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ? MAYA IS SUPPOSED TO BE *YOU* , YOU SHOULD ACT AS YOU WOULD HAVE WANTED TO ACT. WHO HELL STARTED THIS RETARDED MAYA/KEL SHIPPING ?

No, she's someone else. We give the general ideas of what she does, but she's not us. Maybe you're unable to discern the difference between a player and the character, but the rest of us aren't.

It was dispelled by Hretmar. Your inventory currently includes the armor you were able to salvage, and the canvas overalls you were wearing.

>>8671739
Right. So if we agree that that's the consensus, why are you so butthurt? Or have I mistaken you for the butthurt poster when you're are actually someone else? If that's the case, I apologize.

>>8671620
>>8671646
>>8671672

DAMMIT SubDM, I LOVE YOU BUT I HATE YOU

>>8671456
I'd assume that we were smart enough for 'as close to our old body as possible' to mean the external, physical appearance while giving us free reign to make our insides 'better', within reason. Even something as simple as increasing the number of muscle fibers would give a great increase in physical strength, as long as the tendons and bones were strengthened to match the new strength as well.

rolled 4, 3, 6 = 13

>>8671478
You lean down, slowly, bringing yourself down to his level. It's almost comical how different you are, but that's just the way it is. You give the hunter a light, gentle kiss, as carefully as you can. He returns it, embracing you with his arms. After a moment, you part, returning to your full height as his cheeks turn a rather bright red. You smile broadly, and he smiles back, speechless. With a brief exchange of glances, you both step out from behind the hall, and return to the others.

You both try your best to keep that little smirk off your faces, failing miserably. Sahl gives you a knowing look, but stays silent, obviously very amused. The night wears on, as the two of you attempt to keep everything under wraps. You're sure that most of the village knows already, but this is just how it's done. Thankfully, you find a moment to ask Vasian about the book he told you about, and he escorts you to the library to retrieve it, taking you away from all the excitement.

The old, battered tome passes into your hands, bits of the wrinkled cover flaking off as you open it. From what you can see, it's a book about the outer gods, those far enough above the lessers to actually care about other planets. There is an entire chapter dedicated to the Bleeding Sun, beginning with his origin myth. Apparently, he is said to have once been a god of light, who had something of a breakdown after a war in heaven, and began consuming other deities. Eventually, the remnants of those old gods swimming around in his mind drove him completely insane. And that's just the first two pages.

rolled 4, 2, 6 = 12

>>8671769
Something like this was bound to happen eventually. I offered you all the chance to end the quest when you died for real. You continued, and now you're getting married.

>>8671796
I'm afraid that's beyond the power of the spell. You're a bit taller and a bit thinner, but that's it, aside from the lack of magic.

>>8671819
wow Bleeding Sun has some issues, maybe he had repressed childhood memories.

>>8671755
>It was dispelled by Hretmar.

Alright, I needed to know that before making fool of myself

*cough*

This is to everybody who participated during and after the Atomic Blitz
WHY ARE YOU ALL PANTS-SHITTING-JUMPING-TO-CONCLUSIONS COWARDS!? AND DM, WHY DID YOU RETCON (maybe subconsciously) A PART OF OUT STORY?

What, I am telling about is: SubDM, you already had established that the spirit trapped in the tablet was very weak, weaker than the Ice elemental we fought. Hetmar straight up told us he can squash it like a bug (unless he was talking about that while it was captured but I doubt that because then he wouldn't be so casual about it). Also do you guys thing a tablet with such a POWERFUL tablet could end up in wander mage's hands? Whoever would manage to trap it would have made sure to protect it in the deepest damn dungeon ( unless of course DM explains that it's extremely ancient and was found in long abandoned temple in the deepest dungeon centuries ago and no one knows anything about it but the again Hetmar would have noticed the power inside it)

>>8671819
>First Kiss

>>8671819
I'm alternately laughing and d'awwing at this.

I'm getting a distinctly C'tan feeling about this Bleeding Sun guy. Massive war? Eating other gods? That act driving him insane? Yep, really familiar.

>>8671846
At least we can polymorph down to a "proper" size for the wedding night. Cue a Mordin type lecture...

>For the anon asking about BNW, I'll be in the appropriate suptg channel. Don't want to sully another quest thread.

>>8671846
>Something like this was bound to happen eventually. I offered you all the chance to end the quest when you died for real. You continued, and now you're getting married.

Oy well, this is the first thread I'm participating in. Just yesterday I finished the archive but I would continue the quest nevertheless except now we have to play DatingSim (bad) in addition to adventure quest (good) and VillageSim (very good).

>>8671883
Wait, what? No, the Demon in the Tablet has always been very strong. When did SubProc ever say that Hretmar would be able to easily kill it? Though come to think of it, since it's an Ice demon and falls under his domain, why don't we talk to him (after a suitably lengthy break. Seriously, he's been running himself ragged for us.) about him killing the ice demon?

rolled 3, 2, 2 = 7

>>8671883
Hretmar is not infallible. Do you really think it would be impossible for an enormous demon to ramp down its apparent power, to lull you into a false sense of security and thereby encourage you to release it? That seems like a pretty sound plan to me.

Also, the tablet's history is mostly unknown. The man Lark bought it from gave plenty of warnings, but nothing to indicate something on this scale. It could be from anywhere, and possibly hundreds or thousands of years old.

>>8671846
So did we try using magic? Something very minor?

rolled 3, 2, 6 = 11

>>8671922
Well, welcome to the quest. I'm glad you're here. As for the 'dating sim' aspect, you don't have to actually act most of it out. I can gloss over it if makes people uncomfortable.

>>8671937
You have already been informed that it is too powerful for him to destroy or bind.

>>8671938
Anyway, I can't undo it and I am not asking for it but here's a cap I made.
Of course I didn't look it up just to spite you, I was just very confused when reading archives why everyone was so scared of the Spirit of Cold so I went back to other thread to make sure that I didn't misinterpret anything.

>>8671975
Well, if Perin moves to seal or destroy it, Hretmar could help, right?

rolled 3, 4, 1 = 8

>>8671947
Yes, during your travel toward home. You were unable to use any magic at all, though most of your knowledge about it remains. You simply can't get visualize the patterns that get it all started.

>>8671994
I am not perfect, and I do make mistakes. I will tell you that I forgot about that line, but there is still a perfectly good (magical) explanation for why things are the way they are.

>>8672020
Yes.

>>8671975
>Well, welcome to the quest. I'm glad you're here. As for the 'dating sim' aspect, you don't have to actually act most of it out. I can gloss over it if makes people uncomfortable.

It's just for the whole game I take it to the heart the part "*YOU* are a human male from earth in Frost Giantess body" and try to think :"what would I do, how would I react"

Example: when we killed 2 adventurers way back, everyone kind of felt sad and teary. For some reason I couldn't imagine myself doing so, so I though that part was funny. And later we feel depressed about the people we lost during the demon incursion, I felt the same here.

Note that I am in no way implying that I am hardcore and I don't know how I would actually react in that situation but I can only guess.

Roll anal circumference

rolled 5, 3, 5 = 13

>>8672076
I operate by consensus. Majority rules (normally). This can create some problems, as you've noticed.

>>8672076
Well it's also going to be hard to be sure how you'd react because, as I've said, this is also considering that you've been this way for an entire year, with female body chemistry and a technically female brain. That's bound to change some of your perceptions. That's why I tend to view Maya as someone completely separate from myself; .

>>8672066
I realize that.

ANYWAY, SubDM, there was one thing that was bothering me since the first thread and I hoped someone would resolve it but unfortunately after our raid it's impossible now: Throughout the whole game whenever we checked our inventory you always said we had *minsc. items (human sized)*, we had these from day 1. I wanted to ask you to examine them closer (get the help from someone if they are too small). What were they? Maybe we were hauling around stuff we had when we were in NYC ? Like a mobile phone or something ?

rolled 3, 2, 5 = 10

>>8672154
Things like those in the opening pic. Pots, pans, some silverware, and a bag of trinkets and junk. Nothing of consequence.

>>8672154
Also for a whole year if not more we had been hauling around those 14 broken arrows when the tower shot us. I find this hilarious.

Ok, so we are learning about Bleeding Sun now right?
We should get on with that.

Also did Ilium (Bro god) got our stuff back? If not, how long will it take him?
If he did, we must put it on to work up our stamina again.

rolled 6, 3, 2 = 11

>>8672225
Ilian could only save the armor with the power he and the others had. The rest has been lost.

The history of the Bleeding Sun will go in the last story post tonight. Anything else that's pressing?

>>8672265
Finish the Samurai Jack Story!

rolled 6, 5, 5 = 16

>>8672279
Wrap it up completely or leave it open to be picked up later? Also, any preference for plot?

>>8672182
Those would have been useful in the first days maybe (to trade or what ever)


Ah, another thing I wanted to ask you, SubDM. When you were starting this quest did you have anything in mind? Did you anticipate that we would be organizing a settlement?

It just seems that that one fateful charisma roll (19) when we approached the village for the first time defined EVERYTHING. I think if we had fumbled it, the reaction would be to go back to woods again and we would be at square one again wondering about the woods and doing nothing..... and maybe ... maybe everyone would loose interest and deem his quest a fail ;_;
I'm happy things went as they did.
Thanks, DM

Missed the last thread unfortunately, but since we haven't reincarnated yet my vote is to instead become a god, for at least a while.

>>8672313
Maybe we should finish it and contemplate on a new story ? Maybe not today but some time soon.

>>8672334

>>8672993
Maybe not now, but it's good to know that we could attract some bright heads. we should build a totally bitching university at one point. Our common sense knowledge can bring us only that far. We can supply with enormous amount of ideas (from paperclip to spaceshuttle) and they will have to make it reality

But that's a very long term plan at best. We need to have huge population. I think after couple of months of vigorous training (to get magic back) we should start to attract immigrants.

DM, Will the government give any rewards for what we did? You said that hero status is not applicable but I think we deserve a very big reward nonetheless

You decide to take a sizable break from the party, even though it's in your honor. This book has some information you would like to know sooner rather than later. With Vasian's assistance, you work your way through the chapter on the Bleeding Sun, learning as much as you can, keeping in mind that none of it is necessarily true.

The Bleeding Sun was once a god of the light domain, with thousands of brothers and sisters. He had control of sunlight in a far corner of the world, a region overrun with jungle. The war came when he was just a tiny speck among the great and powerful lords of the planet, and it is only due to his relative lack of power that he survived as long as he did. Almost all of his siblings were wiped out, along with a good chunk of the planet and a fair number of gods from other domains. The jungle he presided over became a desert as the system he was part of collapsed, plunging Providence (or Varia, as they call it) into a miniature apocalypse.

The Bleeding Sun's despair led him to lash out against the aggressors, themselves cut down to even lower numbers. Suicidal and without guidance, the Bleeding Sun consumed the remnants, one by one, increasing his own power to incredible heights while taking near-fatal damage over and over. He was only stopped by a coalition of lesser deities, banded together into a super-entity with power rivaling his own. By then, his power was great enough to grant him access to the next level of gods, but those would not accept him, because of his misdeeds. So, he sunk further and further into despair, abandoned and cast away by all, constantly assaulted by a thousand voices in his mind.

He broke. The once-joyous sun god lost what little sanity he had left, giving in completely to the calling of the voices. For generations he closed himself off from all contact, speaking only to himself and his screeching companions. His strength waned, and his insanity deepened, finally bringing him to emerge as a fractured version of his former self, tortured by his very existence. He began to call himself a guardian of reality, adopting a horribly twisted avatar that bled sickness from every pore. The coalition, having repopulated the realm of the gods since the Bleeding Sun's departure, was powerful enough to keep him from repeating his former actions, threatening him with absolute death if he ever touched another of his own kind.

This is the state in which he is now. His power has been brought back to its previous height, but it is not enough to allow him to defeat the coalition. Unable to sate his hunger for fear of oblivion, he contents himself with meddling in the mortal plane. The gods above do little to stop him, and it is rumored that he is a source of amusement for the higher deities. The Bleeding Sun is an inmate in a planet-wide asylum, and he is not to be trifled with.

As the night crosses into morning, you tell the villagers a story you have wanted to tell for a very long time. The end of Samurai Jack, a proper conclusion that the show never got on Earth. You begin the destruction of Aku's world. Jack leads the embittered, impoverished peoples of the capitol against the dark lord's highest minions, with the Scotsman providing air cover with a host of metal golems, all strung together and armed with crude copies of his magical assault leg. Laughing barely intelligible curses and rhymes, he flies directly over Aku's tower, propelled by a constant stream of explosions from his leg, and crashes head-first into the base while his 'metally friends' detonate around him.

The tower tips, nearly falling over, but stopped midway by the mighty power of the shapeshifting master of darkness. The Scotsman crawls out of the wreckage, a little battered and remarking snarkily about the weak stuff Aku calls a foundation. Meanwhile, the civilian army secures the lavish palaces of the bourgeoisie, and Jack meets Aki in the tunnels beneath the city, pitting his magic sword against the powers of her father. An epic battle unfolds inside the machinery of Aku's fortress, culminating in an accidental maneuver that puts the sword straight through Aki's heart. Her last words are, “Jack, I always...” as she dies in his arms.

He carries her body to the top of the tower, entering Aku's throne room unopposed. The dark lord, seeing what Jack has done, flies into a murderous rage, heading straight for him. The Scotsman, having climbed all the way up the outside of the tower with his bare hands, shouts for Jack to get out of the way, but the Samurai stands his ground. And with one swift motion, he slices the dark lord in two, embedding the magic sword in the floor without ever appearing to move at all. The voice of Aku curses the Samurai repeatedly as he strides up to the throne, the tower collapsing around him.

>>8673324
Jack places the body of Aki upon her father's seat, and kneels, speaking a simple prayer for her soul. Aku, now nothing more than a shadow on the ground, abandons his blasted fortress and his daughter, without so much as a single look back. The Samurai keeps his position, through all of the Scotsman's shouts and insults, until the gruff, massive man realizes that it's hopeless, and jumps from the falling tower, wishing Jack well in the afterlife. The Samurai stays, eyes closed, hands folded, while the tower topples. Content.

And the throne... opens. The seat of the dark lord rises from the floor, revealing the secret beneath it. The time portal, which Aku always kept in the safest possible place. Springing from the floor, Jack makes a flying leap, bringing himself and Aki through the portal just as the throne room smashes into the earth, burying the portal beneath a thousand tons of rubble. Jack emerges in the past, in the land of his birth, running at full speed toward the temple of his ancestors. Within, he pleads with them to return Aki to life, and they agree, on one condition.

He has to return to the future, and defeat Aku once and for all.

He accepts. Aki takes her first breath just as he disappears, giving the barest hint of a smile.

End.

And the loop begins again.

So, what can Bleeding Sun do anything to Maya? It has been long time since she's in this land and he hardly did anything (well, except almost killing us). Is he being held at bay by other gods ?

>>8673324
Best not be shipping Jack and Aki.

Presumably, the coalition is restraining him, or he is only toying with you. As powerful as he is, he can easily kill you, hurt you, or perhaps even cause your luck to go sour.

rolled 2, 5, 3 = 10

>>8673484

>>8673498
That's bad, is there anything that can be done? Maybe some protective spell, trinket or charm ?

>>8673541
I also take issue with your interpretation of Aku leaving Aki. Indeed, so much do I take issue with it that I insult you parentage and question your sexual preference.

Against a god so powerful he can only be opposed by an organization consisting of thousands of other gods?

>>8673617
I think we know who was responsible for our death

>>8673640
Well if it's a charm made by one of those other over deities that find him funny and are more powerful than him, yeah, I'd say it would likely work.

I NEVER WANTED TO WRITE SAMURAI JACK FANFICTION

I WILL SHIP AKU AND SCOTSMAN

THAT WILL TEACH YOU

Oh god. Laughing so much right now. Can't breath. Oh god.

Just throwing ideas around. Seriously what are our options? Just hang around till he goes exterminatus?

Take a stone and hurl it to the sky, maybe we'll get him that way

Makes as much sense as anything else.

Nothing wrong with throwing ideas around. It's part of what we do here. And it sometimes results in hilarity.

Are you saying it will not work? Why? They are more powerful than him, no?

It's 11:15. I live in the United States, in a little place called _REDACTED_

Also known as Pennsylvania.

I haven't been able to participate today, and I haven't been able to read all of today's decion's.
I just hope you guys haven't done anythiung too retarded.
I hope there will is a quest to return to when I've sobered up tomorrow.

I'll drink one to your health.

>>8673720
I don't get it. I'm just saying that, hypothetically, if we got a charm made by a god even more powerful than him, it would probably be enough to give us some protection from Bleeding Sun.

>>8673777
Yes. Yes they are.

This has become very silly.

>>8673790
We married a guy

Technically we just got engaged. We're not married yet. BUT WHEN WE DO GET MARRIED, IT WILL BE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF OUR LIFE.

They are amused by the things he does. Things which include senseless murder and incredibly horrible harassment. How do you think this would play out?

>>8673797
>>8673814

Of course, why the hell even one of them would care? I mean, we are but ants for Hretmar our Brogod for them we are just bacteria. Do you care about the wellbeing of a single bacteria on you body? HUH? DO YOU?
that's what I thought

should have become a lesbian with another frost giant or something.
yes that is right GIANT LESBIANS!!
so hot.

>>8673842
I don't know. That's not the point. The point is, you said that a charm/trinket wouldn't work. Now, yes or no, if a charm was made by a being more powerful than Bleeding Sun and it wasn't just a trick, would it be enough to provide protection?

>>8673842
Incredible amusement at all the ways they can arrange to screw us over while giving us exactly what we ask for.

>>8673841

Dammit, why are you so enthusiastic about that?

>>8673859
At this point I must agree, better than marrying PUNY hooman

>>8673864
I didn't say it wouldn't work. It would, if made appropriately, and infused with enough power. One of the overgods could do it easily, as could a critical mass of mages.

>>8673896

Ok, add to the list:
-Construct 1 Large Magi Collider

>>8673896
Thank you.

>>8673871
Because there's one or two people who are extremely butthurt because of it and I enjoy watching them squirm at the idea of romance.

>>8673864
so we just have to find a more powerful being in the pantheon, and roll a perfect success in our bluff.


"hey, wouldnt it be funny if you gave me an item of godlike power so i can kick the Bleeding Sun's ass all over the realities"

"hey, you are right, puny ice thing. Here, take this +80 Hammer Of Godsmashing.."

and then we win and get everything we ever wanted.

And social change.

If it was that easy, someone would have already done it. Although I suspect that we have a leg up on anyone else who tried this due to just how unique we are.

Ah come on, we just have to roll 3 d20 in a row, how hard can that be ?

Your body and essence is utterly destroyed and everything you did and everyone you loved are annihilated

I am surprised this quest has no large blue naked women pictures yet

Check the archive.

Unless you meant "original content," in which case, I'm working on it, dude.

>>8674180
Well I've got blue, naked and pic that's a bit large.
Hope that's sufficient.

>>8674597
Oh? Do tell.

>>8673827
I'm really hoping you're trying to fuck with me.

>>8674968
Well you remember the box from Kel? It had a ring in it. Majority of people were okay with accepting it, then one really butthurt person came and started bitching about it.

Oh, oh the delicious tears of unfathomable nerd rage. They're so yummy.

>>8675002

Thanks for your reply.
I'm gonna go to sleep and read this whole thread when I'm sober.
Regarding the information you've given to me, I think I'll ragequit (funny language, that english of yours :P) tomorrow, at least I'll be done with all quests then. good night,,., v
