Stepping into the poorly lite pipe, you realize how narrow it is, as your head scraps the top of it. You can see a faint light farther down the tunnel, and you can faintly hear noises echoing through the metal.

To your right are the two men, one groaning in pain and "Cedric" curled up starting into space.

OH HAPPY DAY YOU'VE RETURNED!

I believe we had just knocked a cultist guard unconscious and still need to decide what to do with him and the other guy we got to lead us here.

rolled 40 = 40

>>17532692

Tear off a strip from Cedric's clothes and bind and gag him, leave him where he is.

Wake up the guy we knocked out and interrogate him after binding his hands with Vengeance.

>>17532701
That I have. Sadly the next thread wont be until sunday.

Put them out of their misery

rolled 8 = 8

>>17532725

Cedric is a common thief but he doesn't need to die by our hand for that, leave him for the guards.

The other guy we need information from, and then we can decide what to do with him once we've assessed his part in this. We're after whoever is leading this whole operation and killing people. The little underlings and petty criminals that hang on the fringes of the dark dealings here aren't worthy of death by our blade.

Not yet.

>>17532692
Knock them both out and move on

>>17532747
>Common thief

Well you didn't read the last thread it seems.

So, bind Cedric, and get information from the other one?

>>17532818
Yes

>>17532772

I may be misremembering, let me go back and re-check it.

>>17532818

Yes. Cedric seems pretty damn terrified of us. Cement that fear in further and he won't try anything stupid against us.

Tearing strips from Cedric's own robe, you bind his hands and feet, then take a wooden spoon from the table and shove it in his mouth, binding it shut with another strip of cloth.

Taking your attention away from him to the other man, you pick him up by his collar. He is quite incapacitated from the blow to his head.

>Action?

rolled 76 = 76

>>17532921

I want him to wake up to the sight of two burning red embers staring straight into his soul.

Hopefully that will be intimidating enough for him to spill the beans.

Wake him up by shoving his head in the water

rolled 88 = 88

>>17532975
>>17532956

Seconding both of these.

Dunk him in until he comes around, then stare at him.

I don't know why people think we're Batman when we're clearly Ghost Rider.
We're not "good", we're morally ambiguous but working on what could normally be conceived as the side of good.
Hell, we have more in common with the Punisher than anything else really

>>17533042

We're none of the above, really. We're still trying to decide what to do now that the kingdom we swore fealty to is dead, buried, and relegated to stories of fairy tales and fables.

This is no good. You need to understand what is happening down here, and what you are walking into.

Taking the man, you shove his face down into the liquid filth, holding him there until he starts sputtering and trashing about, then haul him out, placing him right in front of your gaze.

After a few seconds of coughing, the man freezes when he realizes his feet aren't touching the ground, and that those red lights in front of him are eyes. He stared but for a moment, and let out of terrified scream, the sound echoing down the pipe.

Over the mans pleas, begging and lamentation, you realize that any noise made here will echo for a long while, so your presents may already be betrayed.

A harder glare, and tightening of your hand silences him. He doesn't seem to be trying magic like Cedric did, but that very well may be because he is unable to think straight right now.

The faint noise you hard heard before has stopped.

>What shall you ask him?

>>17533052
We killed them, if you don't remember.
In cold blood.

>>17533063
My trip seems to have come off.

>>17533063
"WHERE?!"

We need to be more brief.
We're speaking way too much and it's making us look dumb.

>>17533066
Really? I thought we killed everyone because they were just going to suffocate anyways, and people had resorted to cannibalism. Walking in on the nobles "party" is what made you lose it.

rolled 48 = 48

>>17533063

Well shit, we don't have much time now.

We need to know where the high priest is, or whoever has been running this operation, but I doubt that he'll be much use to us in his current state. Knock him out again, and head deeper in, trying to stay stealthy.

>>17533066
mercy killings bro, mercy killings

rolled 30 = 30

>>17533086

Seconding this.

>>17533066

No...we gave it a mercy killing, I mean, the people were becoming crazed cannibals at a rapid pace, the King and Nobles were holding balls and feasts with the peasants as the food.

It was either mercy kill everyone still alive to save them from themselves, or sit there and watch as they slowly degenerated into troglodytes or horrible incestuous cannibalistic mutants.

>>17533086
>>17533106
Going with these.

>>17533106
we are a giant suit of armor, i don't think we can be very stealthy.

i say we just charge onward!

>>17533102
Which is still a sign of moral ambiguity.

>>17533174

Not really.

It was either watch them slowly go insane, and smother to death as all the breathable air ran out, as they continued killing and devouring one another, or give them all a mercy killing.

Seems pretty easy choice bro, not ambiguous at all.

The man starts kicking you and clawing at your hand. You realize you were choking him and loosen your grip. Coughing even more, he looks back up to you with tears in his eyes, and begs you to let him go "Please sir, I have a family, these water folk are crazy. Always speaking about there god as if he is always present. Everyone knows that the only true God is the Fire God, I saw him myself when I was but a boy, far to the south on the plains of fire. But these people, they speak as though he actually is there. Sir, please if you just promise to let me go I will show you where to go in the place. They just pay me to watch the back way."

Going to combine these.

Also, if you really want you can tell him that, but that seems like a terrible idea. But people will find out sooner or later that their God has (literal) fallen.

rolled 36 = 36

>>17533330

Yeah, I wasn't going to bring that up. Just thought it was kind of ironic.

You take a moment to consider what to do, then set the man down. The now animated snake headed clasp made the man jump and press himself against the wall, but you can not escape from Vengeance's reach. slithering up the man, he binds his hands to his body, keeping only his legs free.

Gesturing down the tunnel, you command the man to lead the way, which he gladly obliges, happy to tear his eyes away from your crimson glare. You made sure he could still feel it on his back.

And so the man leads the way, all the time talking of his family situation, how the king has recently raised taxes and drastically cracked down on privately owned businesses. He also talked of how he recently became a father, that his wife could never connive, so they had adopted a child no older than 3. An Orphan from the war he said.

The light steadily grew closer until you could see what was causing the effect. It would have caused you to gasp if you were able.

A large circular cave was cut into the very foundations of the city, no this place WAS the foundations of the city. the sewer branched off into the wall, while the path you were on jutted out into a walkway over a massive underground city, rivaling that of the one above. On the walls of the cavern were thousands of softly glowing multicolored crystals.

The walkway you were on led to a simple stone church, carved from the very rock itself. It hung suspended over the city below.

"Is it your first time viewing the City of Lights m'lord?" Your awe seemed to have shown even despite your expressionless "face". Chuckling, he paused to take in the sight himself. "The City of Lights is the true heart of Grandal, despite what some of the surface dwellers might say. This place has existed longer than the city above, no one is certain why one would build a city underground. Some say it was once ruled by Dwarves, others say it was to protect man from the wrath of the Gods. But very few people say it was built in remembrance, but ironically no one remembers what we are supposed to remember. But the city is ancient, with an even more ancient writing carved into every stone that we walk upon....I seem to have forgotten myself, we have arrived m'lord."

The stone church looms in front of you. Its large doors baring your way. Looking down to the ground, you see what he hand meant about "be written into every stone step. The writing was incredibly worn down do to people treading across it over the centuries.

>Action?

I bet this place has more information about what happened after our kingdom fell, and what became of the mage who caused it.

But we can explore later, right now we need to get to where the head of this cult and their god is and kick some ass in the name of righteousness.

Goddammit its always the most minor shit.

>>17533671

So letting the dude go, and entering the church? How will you be entering it?

rolled 64 = 64

>>17533748

What entrances are there?

>>17533775
Only the one you can see. There seems to be windows on the sides, but the building is rather high up in the air(Read, a normal person would be jelly if they fell), and you have no idea if there are enough handholes to reach one.

rolled 24 = 24

>>17533748
Climb the wall by digging our Claws into the stone, jump down from the roof, even if we have to smash through it.

>>17533804
There is no roof. The entire church is suspended from the ceiling.

rolled 76 = 76

>>17533804

I think that'll be too slow and too noisy to work.

Let's just kick the door in. They probably heard when our guide here screamed like a little girl and know something's up already.

Through the front door then!

>>17533864

LIKE A BOSS

>>17533887

OH YEAAAAAAHH

Glancing over the writing on the floor, you pick out a few words you recognize. Most of it seems to be a mix of languages, but its impossible to tell from the wear. What you can see is some elvish and dwarven...and something else, but you dismiss it as a fragmented sentence.

Carefully you walk up to the door, unsheathing your Glaive, the size of which brings a sound of awe from the man behind you. Vengeance is back on your shoulder, tasting the air.

>MASSSSTER THERE IS MANY PEOPLE INSSSSSIDE. THE AIR TASSSTESSS THE SSSSAME ASSS THE AIR FROM SSSSSSEDRIC'SSSS MAGIC CASSSTING.

>Is there anything you want to do before entering?

I bet they're making another sacrifice.

Use our arcane sight to see if the entrance is trapped in any way, and if it's clean, bust down the door.

>>17534051

Yes, then we simply walk into the building.

>>17534016
>>17534047
>>17534059
Alright.

DON'T forget to turn Ice mode on to full.

Hey Blackknight, your quest is awesome.

Just letting you know.

Sending the man on his way, who oddly enough seems reluctant to leave now, compared to before, you inspect the door with your "eyes" to see what you can see. BASTARDS.

Nowhere near as bad as the fire plains, but you can noticeably see a few leylines crossed into a central location. Right in this building. A fierce rage overcomes you, burning at your very core, this was different that your other fury's before, this one wasn't caused by the flame, this was one of your soul. Your very being has ignited with the fires of retribution, visibly burning through your armor, giving your silhouette a red glow. curiously, you attempt to use the flames, and to your surprise, the come forth as bitter as the arctic winds.

>>17534365
You recall your training to be a knight, those brutal cold winters in the citadel high atop the mountains. While all the other children huddled together shivering, you alone sat perfectly unaffected by the chill. The Archmage had told you later that you had a very strong affinity in the fire element, and had tried pulling numerous strings to get you as his disciple.

As the fog billows around you, you wondered if things could have turned out differently if you had first faced off against The Mage as another mage, rather than a faceless knight. It was a foolish attempt at glory, and had earned you a missing eye and a prosthetic arm.

Shrugging the thoughts off, you kick in the door with all the fury of a thundering maelstrom, and the power of a raging firestorm.

>You might be able to use minor fire magic if you had someone to teach you.

You are greeted with a thundering rumble, and a massive wave of energy overtakes you.....and does nothing once again. Several cries can be heard from the water cultists that gather here, with one familiar voice screaming "THATS IT! THATS THE FIRELORDS DEMON THAT ATTACK ME AND SCORCHED THE GUARD STATION!"

There seems to be at least 60 people, it is unknown how many of them are mages, 10 of them have weapons that you can see.

>Action?

>>17534372
>60 people

Damn, this is going to be quite a battle.

Get fog up, it'll be easier to take them out if we throw the whole place into confusion by removing their visibility.

>>17534372

Tell us more about the room, is there something of interest in here?

Don`t attack anyone who doesn`t attack us first, if someone tries to harm us, we simply kill him without a second thought.

It is your average church, there are stone pews, and an alter. A man with a rather large hat stand by the alter, a strange chalice in his hands. There is an upper floor that overlooks the area you are in.

>>17534498

how far can we throw the glaive?

rolled 19 = 19

>>17534498

Ignore the cultist and walk straight to the hat guy, as I said in >>17534455 , don`t attack if not attacked first

Fairly far. No trouble covering the length of this building. However then you will be without a weapon.

rolled 57 = 57

>>17534426

This, followed by a full on frost. Like a mini snow blizzard underground.

Then, when everyone is confused at the sudden turn of events (fire demons shouldn't be able to use frost magic, right?), bellow something about being:

A) Not some puny "fire demon," let alone one affiliated with the false fire god (who you killed, which needs to be said)
B) The spirit of justice/vengeance/righteousness
C) Going to kill all heretics who stand in our way
D) Going to murder this false "water god" just like we did the "fire god"
E) Will not hurt innocents or those without sin.

Or say something along these lines that combines the above in a quick efficient manner.

I don't think others would want us to say anything too long.

can we please throw the glaive into the leaders chest if things go badly?

>>17534614
Up to you guys.

rolled 89 = 89

>>17534589

yeah, we're not bellowing about like some common berserker.

Just level our Glaive at the leader, make it so cold that ice crystals start to form along its length.

If we must say something, go with something like "Demon? No, I am but a man." in a calm, factual tone.

>>17534614

It would be wiser to just impale him with the glave instead of throwing it (if we have to kill him)

Let's just focus on slaying the water god, after we are done we simply walk away ignoring the cultists.

>>17534622

But can we at least say something in a very loud volume, like, "FOOLS, I /MURDERED/ THAT FALSE GOD!"

Followed by pointing our glaive towards big hat guy and saying, "AND YOUR'S IS NEXT!" or something along those lines?

rolled 78 = 78

>>17534642

These cultists were implict in the atrocities committed by their leader though. They need to face justice of SOME kind, and if not at the edge of our blade, then how?

Alright guys, so what are we doing?

Executioners block / prison.

>>17534372

So we are ignoring the cultists for now, and marching on the water pope? Are we saying anything?

rolled 99 = 99

>>17534668

Fog it up and use the ice shards that we blasted the tower with last time to throw everyone into confusion and buy us some time

Make our way towards their leader and put the glaive through his heart.

See if the death of the head priest and conduit to their "god" stops them.

>>17534724

As we walk past the one who spoke out, say "Demon? No foolish one, I am but a man who has seen far too many centuries"

>>17534728

Go for the water pope

Hey Blackknight, just a suggestion.
Ignore the idiots who are acting out of character, like the noisy guys who turned our sweet stealth mission into a bloody trainwreck in the previous thread. Please exercise some judgement when your players aren't in agreement or your quest is going to peter out and die.

Imagine what Evil Quest would look like if Evil listened to the people who wants to murder everyone and break the facade in broad daylight at every opportunity.

I say we gank the Water Pope, hamstring anyone who tries to intervene. Afterwards, say "Leave and do not return, or you shall join your fellow"

Fair enough, I just don't want to overstep my authority and piss people off.

YOU BASTARD!

There is mutter, insults and jeers all throughout the church. Ignoring them, you set your sights on one thing; the one that is clearly a cleric of some kind. He seems to be conversing with the chalice, and then, taking notice to your presents finally, places the chalice on the alter and points a fat finger at you.

"THIS HEATHEN HAS COME TO USURP THE MIGHTY WAVE LORDS THRONE AND OFFER IT TO HIS OWN MASTER! MY BROTHERS! TODAY YOU ARE NOT BUT ACOLYTES IN YOUR LORDS SERVICE, TODAY YOU SHALL BECOME WARRIORS OF GOD!" He is about to continue but is interrupted by the inhumane sound of grating metal, starting out slowly then rising up until it soon echoes through out the hall.

The Jeers and insults are silenced as all eyes are upon the armored behemoth shaking in mirth to some joke that only you knew. But how could they know? The do not know the words. The very words that are carved into the stone walls of this place, into the very soul of the city. You would not noticed it at first, had your attention not been drawn to a cultist sneezing. There you saw an unforgettable Sigil, one that now reverberated through your very being in the form of laughter.

Still laughing, you gather the bitter Arctic winds themselves around you, freezing everything the proximity, and started walking forward. It was not long before the cultists soon broke and ran under the freezing assault. Some tried to escape past you, only to be frozen and shattered instantly, adding to your assault.

The Speaker tried to bolster his people, encouraging them to fight the heathen, but that was soon silenced by the towering obsidian clad giant cloaked in winter itself stood in front of the alter. He pressed himself against the glass and looked on with horror as you reached out to the chalice, laughing like a madman.

>>17535652
Perhaps you had finally lost your mind? Lesser men would have surely crumbled under what you witnessed and did, let alone spend and eternity walking the halls of a stone tomb. The words you had read echoed through you even now, words long since forgotten, filling you with a mirth that you had not felt in ages. Your laughter continued even when you brought an icy hand to the chalice and you heard the gibbering screams of the dying water elemental, even when the cultists regrouped and opened fire on you with the strange bows the Orcs had, punching through you all around, you did not stop. The words had brought both sorrow and happiness to your heart.


The cultists assault seemed to doubled with the death of their God, the speaker sits on his knees crying. You are severally filled with bolts, but it should not impede your movement. And still you laugh.

>Action?

Really sorry about that guys.

The rest are merely a headless rabble with no purpose and no shackles to keep them tied to evil. Without their god and their priest, they are nothing, and not worth killing.

Well, if they stand in our way and attempt to prevent us from leaving, we can kill them. But don't just go about slaughtering them all for the hell of it.

Out of curiosity, what DID we read?

Then stare at any others menacingly, and ordering them to turn themselves in, lest they "wish to join the others, or want to learn to fly" (get thrown out of a window into what I believe to be was a very long fall).

Kill the water pope with dehydration, fire all around him and keep reigniting when he puts out a section of the fire. Then once he's dead sheath your sword and walk out like a BAWWS. Minions don't mean shit to you.

Your laughter reached its peak when you sliced the speakers head off, the arching scarlet splatter had a a strange kind of beauty to it. Grabbing the head you hold it for all to see, as the bolts start peppering your untouched front, and soon dwindle as hopeless cries call out. Only the most fanatical stay, the others fleeing before the death of their faith.

They soon filter down to 3 as they run out of bolts to fire. These men are pouring fanatical zeal out of their very bodies, as evident by the drool that drips down from their foaming mouths. They charge at you with weapons drawn, but a quick horizontal sweep of your Glaive kills all but one, who just stares back up at his grim reaper and joins in his laughter.

Ending the man, your laughter soon dies out in the silence after just what took place here. Striding over to the Sigil and words, you start reading back over them, as the bolts begin popping out and fall to the ground.

>MASSSSSTER......ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

You are too engrossed with the writing to pay any attention to the snake. Coiling around your neck, the snake faces you, red eyes flickering in the torchlight.

>MASSSSTER.....WHAT DOESSSS IT SSSSSAY? WHY DO YOU LAUGH?

>>17536034
Patting the snake on her head, you point towards the wall, reading out what it says.

>"NULLI EXPUGNABILIS HOSTI. NIHIL ALIUD SCIT NECESSITAS QUAM VINCERE. JUSTITIA OMNIBUS."

Feeling her confusion, you translate for the snake.

>"CONQUERED BY NO ENEMY. NECESSITY KNOWS NOTHING ELSE BUT VICTORY. JUSTICE FOR ALL."

With that Vengeance settles back down, bringing your view back to the ever familiar crest, the spear pointing up towards the sun. Below it is the motto, flanked by names. Countless names. Recalling the fragmented words, you remember the phrase "Dies Irae". Judgement day.

You knew now what the people had built this place in remembrance for, for their fallen Capitol. The stone carving was of Dwarven make, the crystals where of Elven work no doubt, but that did not matter.

You have come home. Your people survived the cataclysm.

I'm going to have to stop here for the night guys. I have work tomorrow.

The next thread will be on sunday 18:00 - 19:00 4chan time.

But as always, I'm sticking around for a bit to answer any questions.

>>17536055

Very nice place to stop off. I can FEEL the insanity. Good quest, will be around for the next one.

WE HAVE A NEW THEME SONG

>>17536111

Oh, an addendum: "Dies Irae" translates to "Day of Wrath", but the whole piece is about the apocalypse, so it works either way.

Since our friend isn't here.

>>17536132

How many people lived in the city we came from before its fall? And how many of those did we have to end out of mercy?

>>17536111
>Not the Gregorian chant
>laughingmonks.tapestry
Seriously though, both are great pieces.

>>17536141
There were tens of thousands in the city, but people started fleeing when the earth started coming over. about half that died of starvation and dehydration, a quarter of that were eaten, the rest you killed or suffocated.
There were other cities in the kingdom though.

One's our battle theme and the other is for everything else.

i'm going to say this: this thread is awesome and you should feel awesome

rolled 31 = 31

I cannot underscore how utterly badass we are now.

So just read this instead.

And before the question of "Why can we speak latin" comes up, the nobility used latin, it was a sign of class. You naturally had to learn it serving as part of the Royal guard. "Common" which is what those of lower birth speak, is what everyone you have come across speak.

>mfw I made Latin a dead language even in a fantasy world

rolled 40 = 40

>>17536262

Don't apologize dude. Everything sounds more more awesome in latin.

>>17536262

Well, we can also read some elvish and dwarf (or atleast understand what characters are elvish and dwarf), so did we love languages before the death of our nation?

>>17536308
Some of your friends were Dwarves and Elves. Other guards in the Dwarven Chancellor and Elf kings honor guard.

>>17536332

Ah, okay. What do we know of the other races, as in how well they might have done against the mage?

>>17536262
bro, we now know a language that people don't use anymore, there's at least two uses for that 1. we can now read stuff that might be useful, 2. we can use that as a extra language skill in convening messages to other people that know the language as well.
as far as i'm concerned this is just awesome

Man, it's a good thing Drei wasn't here to see us slaughter a bunch of people while laughing crazily.

>>17536262
you could always use Georgian spelled phonetically with the English alphabet.

ends up looking rather exotic...

>>17536377

Her sister was. Maybe we should make this a club-only talk topic, the club being those who are souls trapped in metal forms.

>>17536366
No clue. The Elf king and Dwarven Chancellor were in the city when it was Entombed. Humans at the time (Think Anor landorian's from Dark souls, thats why you are so giant) were slightly ahead of the Elves in culture and technology, and it was your people who first mastered the elements and gave birth to the magic system as it is today. The Dwarves were miles ahead of you in technology, but had no magical affinity.

>>17536429
hey man I am archiving it now....

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/17532633/

>>17536455
or not just noticed that you did it sorry had to step out for work

>>17536455
I already archived it bro, didn't know when you would be back. Thanks though.

>>17536482
Sorry been a really awkward week and HAD to go to work tonight.... I feel like we should exchange some contact info though cause apparently I am supposed to know whats going on with the thread

rolled 75 = 75

>>17536497

Don't stress about it dude. If you're not here to archive it, one of us can do it.

>>17536497
Well, you can email me if you want. I'm not expecting you to constantly be around the archive the threads though, its no skin off my back to do it myself. But its still really cool for you to stick around and do it.

>>17536410
Dude, don't.

We don't want Drei to become a damned soul like us.

>>17536551

That's not what I was talking about. I meant the sister we already have as a snake keeping her mouth shut about this.

>>17536544
Alright I should be around from now on just had to run in for a bit...

>>17536551
Isn't that the whole reasoning behind getting Vengeance not to tell her about this?

On a side note, I can only imagine what Hadrian is feeling right now.

>>17536577

An insanity born from many voices directing his every move.

rolled 41 = 41

>>17536577

Relief of some kind to know that he wasn't forced to exterminate the entirety of his kingdom, that some managed to escape.

And then probably a desire to find what became of them later on. So our mission is probably less about vengeance now and more about exploration. Doesn't mean that we can't stop and help the helpless along the way though.

>>17536620

This brings up the fine point of us not knowing where the hell the archmage is. We'll find him, for sure, but until then being a wandering knight who slays elemental gods is probably a good beginning. How do we know the gods we slay are dieing though, and not being banished or something like that?

>>17536654
In this world, things die when they are killed. Unless they get sucked back through some kind of elemental event horizon. Even then, they are really just normal elemental's that people revere as gods, not actual gods.

>>17536654
Also, we don't know if the archmage has gotten any stronger.

>>17536793

Well, he likely made himself a magical nexus of some sort. Which would be a hell of a magic boost, I imagine. Even if he couldn't, it's safe to assume he did make something that would do that for him, like an amulet or earrings.

> presents

I wouldn't comment if it were only one occurrence, but it's "presence", not "presents".

Just sayin'.
