In other lands, the southern continent, a new breed of drakfey is born. He is slightly smaller than average, and his proportions make him seem more agile and less brutish than his kin. He is the first dragonborn drakfey. The fey mothers is abhorred by the sight of her offspring, you have little doubt the fey harbors great animosity towards drakfey seeing as it is the drakfey that she and so many other fey and humans now flee from.

Several ideas toss around in your mind. As you try to decide if there are any particular actions you would like to take, or if it would be better to wait and see how things progress.

rolled 28 = 28

Fuck yeah, Deity Quest!

If Falees' arrival at the obelisk is imminent we should watch what transpires there. Otherwise, see what happens to the dragonborn.

Try to spy on Ius and Picus, just to see what they are up to with that soul they mentioned earlier

>Deity Quest VII

>>18015053
Is Formless aware of the new dragonborn drakfey?

You attempt to see what Ius and Picus are doing. Ius is currently observing a unotable human in a village somewere, he seems to enjoys doing this. Picus does nothing but watch the world for now. It is difficult to say for sure, but he seems to be interested in the same events you are right now.

Falees will not arrive at the obelisk for at least a week.

The dragonborn isn't doing anything interesting as it is hardly even sapient as of now, being newborn. The mother is asking for advise or maybe console from those she travels with.

rolled 54 = 54

Let some time pass. Watch Ur and Mae and when Falees arrives definitely watch the events that occur.

During the last thread we discussed getting another champion, one who was more evil leaning seeing as we are a neutral god and Ur is very much good. Perhaps we could look into making the dragonborn this guy?

rolled 37 = 37

>>18015123

It is likely that Formless hooked the fey and dragon up in the first place, judging from what he said when we first mentioned it to him.

rolled 2 = 2

>>18015089
I feel like we should do something for this child and his mother, perhaps some sort of blessing we could impart. He's destined to inherit the mind of a fey, but all they can really see right now is a young destroyer.

We should still be on the look out for any interesting souls that enter the after life, I believe our original plan was to identify these to our fellow gods when they come by so that they could claim them as champions if they wanted.

Aside from that, let's take a look at the dragon currently ruling the drakfey by the red river, I don't think we've paid much attention to him. If the other archdragon is any indication he could be up to some very interesting things.
>>18015123
We told him, but I don't think he's aware of the subtle differences between the normal drakfey and the dragonborn drakfey.

rolled 41 = 41

>>18015191
I don't recall discussing that, I recall people saying if we were to encounter a seeker of knowledge that happened to be evil inclined we wouldn't bat an eye at granting him lichdom as we did with Ur. Actively manipulating someone into becoming such a person is another thing entirely.

rolled 16 = 16

>>18015037
I would like to see what Sarma is up to. Formless too, but mostly Sarma. We haven't really been keeping tabs on them.

rolled 25 = 25

>>18015220
Seconding the first part of this. This is a new creature, capable of new discoveries and bringing new things to the world. It should be marked as such.

rolled 61 = 61

>>18015037
Has anyone discovered bronze or any other form of metallurgy yet, or are they all still using leather, wood, bone, and stone for everything? Everything we're watching is basically Stone Age, right? I mean, the canoe was first invented just two decades ago.

rolled 85 = 85

>>18015251
True, it just happens that evil people are less likely to seek knowledge without selfish intent. If we found some kind of chaotic evil guy who happened to be as dedicated to learning and spreading knowledge as Ur, we'd easily extend our favor to him as well.

Also, didn't we decide that it would still be possible to attain lichdom through alternative means even if we didn't grant it, via advanced necromancy? The idea was that anyone who dedicated the many years of study required to figure out how to do it was deserving of such.

rolled 16 = 16

>>18015459
I think we decided that Ur was to be the first and last lich we personally uplifted - that all future liches would have to do it on their own, likely using information gleaned by studying Ur himself to do so. Ur may be our champion, but he is also one of the many hints and clues that we so love spreading around. Nothing that we've done in the world has only one intended purpose. Nothing.

You decide that if you had wanted to give the dragonborn a unique appearance, you should have done so before it was born seeing as you were given sole right to its creation. Still, you do now wish to mark it.

"Your right," Sarma states. You called her to handle the situation for you, thinking she would enjoy the chance to modify the creatures look. "This creature is a scholar of the highest calling compared to a normal drakfey, or at least it will be. It deserves something to mark it as a creature of though, not of force." She looks at you and smiles, "A creature of knowledge."

The infants scales shimmer from their usual red to a glimmering black like obsidian.

"That should do." she says before departing.

rolled 15 = 15

>>18015495
Perfect. The dragonborn drakfey will be slender (for a drakfey), brilliant, and the same obsidian that we are. I wonder if they'll have orange eyes too.

rolled 10 = 10

>>18015321
I'm actually really curious about this too. If we are in the stone age, could you notify us each time there's an advance like Bronze or Iron tools, Apotheos?

>>18015514
why orange?

rolled 23 = 23

>>18015527
Because the colour scheme seems to be evoking us, and when we appear before mortals, we appear as a physically ideal humanoid of obsidian skin and burning eyes.

>>18015524

[I will]

rolled 67 = 67

>>18015547
Thanks, bro. I'm glad my mental image of people with flint-tipped spears and animal skin clothes has been accurate.

The fey mother returns to the child. Her face is marked by fury, but when she sees the drakfey's new scales she is confused. She sits beside the creature and holds it, seeming lost in thought.

There is no event of particular importance currently transpiring. You may initiate an action or wait until the next even of importance, which in this case is likely to be the arrival of Falees at the center of the desert.

rolled 3 = 3

For reference, from the beginning of the previous thread:

>The drakfey are at war with the humans near Ium now. Both sides lack any magic users, so while the drakfey are less in number their supperior strength proves extremely effective against the humans who have only barely begun widespread use of spears and knives, and still lack any armor to speak of.

Yeah, we're still in the stone age. Depending on whether any kind of metalworking information was on that tablet that was discovered in one of our ruins, it may begin to advance in the near future.

rolled 59 = 59

>>18015626
I thought the tablet mostly contained a few scraps and hints concerning Arcane magic.

>>18015625
Has she given the child a name?

rolled 45 = 45

I guess I'm good with advancing. I can't Falees making it to the center without losing most or all of his drakfey zombies though. The sand worms are vicious...

rolled 98 = 98

>>18015674
Sand worm zombie. I honestly expect this.

rolled 62 = 62

>>18015674
How IS Falees doing with his journey towards the obelisk, by the way?

Check on his current status in a bit more detail, methinks. Then, skip to when he arrives.

rolled 79 = 79

>>18015679
Yeah, he seems to always use his zombies as cannon fodder for the acquisition of more physically powerful undead.

>>18015690
Well he's arrived there. I'm more intrigued by the fey he accompanied.

rolled 55 = 55

>>18015766
...you're thinking of Ur. Don't mistake Ur and Falees for each other. Seriously.

You watch Falees journey across the desert as you anticipate his arrival. He instructs his minions to carry him while he sleeps, so as to not waste time and to save himself effort. He makes it nearly a quarter of the way there before encountering his first sand worm.

Seven days later he is clearly visible on the horizon to those by the obelisk, with three towering sandworm zombies, one of which he has mounted, and two drakfey.

Elkot, Ur, and Mae are aware of his approach now.

cont...

"Now this visitor seems much more interesting. Is he commanding those sandworms? Facinating, I shall demand he teach me how to do that." Elkot mutters.

"Its the zombie lord. I saw him often when I stayed in the south-east mountains. I do not beleive he is the kind you should grant entry." Says Mae.

"We are going to have to defend the obelisk." Ur states, "I have spoken with him, and Mae is right. That he brings an army with him casts doubt on the possibility that he has changed."

"I shall be the judge, as I was appointed to be by your god." Says Elkot.

Ur shakes his head, "No. The sandworms could not have been slain by the drakfey, they are too agile and large. To have killed them he must have used magic. If he is capable of ripping the soul from a sandworm he may be capable of doing the same to you, dragon."

Elkot looks down on Ur, "Then what do you suppose we do, lich?"

Ur pauses a moment before responding. "He cannot take my soul so easily. The first thing I did when I learned how to grab the soul of another was figure out how to stop one from doing the same to me. However, I do not stand a chance against three sandworms by myself..." He stops to think strategy.

>>18015780
Was thinking of Ur, sorry.

rolled 88 = 88

>>18015964

Just observe.

rolled 57 = 57

>>18015964
Watch Ur carefully. This should be good.

rolled 28 = 28

I wonder if he could fight for dominance over the worms, to show everyone the difference between knowledge given and knowledge earned.

>>18015991

>88

Feels bloody man

rolled 31 = 31

>>18016017
For all we know, he might do just that.

Hmm, since Elkot is our assigned keeper of the Obelisk, is he afforded any protection from the magic we ourselves created?

[ break, irl stuff ]

rolled 45 = 45

>>18016060
I don't think we should grant it, even if Ur isn't immune to our magic. Besides, he'll learn it in time like Ur has, probably from Ur himself if he manages to survive this.

rolled 95 = 95

>>18016083
It's cool, we can wait.

rolled 41 = 41

>>18016087
By it I mean protecting his own soul from being yanked out.

>>18016100
Ur learned that himself, why should we give him that.

rolled 40 = 40

>>18016100
>>18016111
Yeah, let the dragon learn it on its own.

rolled 6 = 6

Sandworms aren't sentient, are they? IIRC non-sentient beings have smaller/weaker souls, making them easier to dominate.

Falees shouldn't be able to just rip out a dragon's soul just like that. They're some of the most powerful mortal beings currently in existence.

rolled 53 = 53

>>18016173
No, but he was powerful enough to throw a drakfey soul so hard that it destroyed another drakfey's soul. He did it pretty casually too. It was pretty impressive. I wouldn't underestimate him.

rolled 74 = 74

>>18016173
It didn't destroy the soul, no mortal is capable of that yet. We were told that just a while ago.

The best thing about this is that even if Falees manages to kill Elkot, Picus can't get mad at us since his own demon gave Falees his powers.

And if Ur dies, we can simply bring him back since he is our first undead champion.
Just as planned.

Apotheos, since the fae are supposed to have all manner of looks, could you give a short description here and there? I'm sure it'd be interesting. Also I'm kinda confused about how much they differ.

>>18016286
Shapeshifters, they can look pretty much what they want.
Also, wasn't the Wereform of Human/Fey random? Like, some could be Werebear, some Werepeacock, Werechicken, etc.

rolled 27 = 27

>>18016286
They're shapeshifters. They can look like any living thing or hybrid therein.

>>18016295

It's a personality thing I guess.

>>18016295
>>18016296
>>18016301

Still, it would be nice if some of the fae that are mentioned had a short, two or three word, description. Cause "fae" just confuses me to hell.

rolled 27 = 27

We should take a look at Arya the next time she sees the face of the moon, it seems criminal not to know what form she takes. I hope she hasn't developed a complex about the moon yet.

>>18016336
Agreed.

rolled 94 = 94

>>18016255
I'm not sure bringing Ur back again will fly with the other gods, though. Bringing him back once was fine; bringing him back an infinite number of times is kind of stacking things in our favor, and we are supposed to be fair and unbiased. We even warned Ur when we first sent him back that other magic would be capable of unmaking him.

Also, in the event that Elkot dies during the events which are about to transpire, how shall we deal with him in the afterlife? Given his agreement to act as guardian of the obelisk, should we offer him the option of choosing whether to go to our afterlife, or Picus's?

rolled 98 = 98

>>18016336
Yeah. Only after we see the thing with Ur and Falees to its conclusion.

rolled 83 = 83

>>18016366
Yeah, if Ur dies, we'll let him into our afterlife, which is an infinite library. He'll have earned it. If Elkot dies, we'll give him the choice of Picus or us.

rolled 56 = 56

>>18016366
Well, the champions for the other gods are long overdue. If we do resurrect Ur a second time, and the other gods raise a stink about it, we can call them together to settle the whole "champions for each god" thing, and pretend that we had intended to do so the whole time, and re-reviving Ur was merely us taking our own initiative to get that part out of the way before the meeting.

rolled 88 = 88

Do the demonic pacts here function the normal way? If so I wonder what Falees has been bargaining with this whole time. His soul? I mean Picus kind of already had that to begin with given his disposition.

>>18016403
Picus wants people to have the power to stir shit up. He explained it himself.

rolled 13 = 13

>>18016409
He wants power to see what depths of immorality people will sink to when given the opportunity. Stirring shit up is more in Formless' court.

rolled 63 = 63

>>18016403
Picus doesn't really want the souls. We asked him about the pacts and he said that the sole reason for the pacts was to give potential evildoers the power necessary for their acts of evil that they would not do if they lacked power. Using that power to do evil is all that Picus requires.

Mae chimes in, "Ur, could you do the same for anothers soul that you would do for your own to prevent it from being stolen?"

He responds, "Yes, but it would require concentration. I would not be able to act while doing so, which would leave my own soul vulnerable."

"Why do the sandworms move above ground? Aside from the one Falees rides they should all be below." Elkot asks.

"He doesn't want to break line of sight," Ur explains. "It is harder to control the soul of something you cannot see, the same goes for souls of your own creation."

Elkot nods.

Falees gains ground quickly, for the sandworms move fast on this terrain.

Ur speaks, " I'll ride you. Stay high in altitude and he wont be able to see me. Not only will this make it difficult for him to target me, but it will make it unlikely he will even be aware that I am present as the sight of you descending upon him mysteriously protected from his primary form of attack should be sufficiently distracting. Fly over him and scortch his zombie minions with your breath, as you are doing so I will leap from your back. He will make them submerge to extinguish the flames. I will then engage him, occupying him in such a manner that he will likely be unable to reach out to the submerged worms to resurface and unlikely to target you though my protection would be lifted. You will then flee, and I will duel him."

"I don't want to 'flee'" Elkot states.

"What do I do?" Mae asks.

"Nothing, you cannot help in this fight. Stay here." Ur responds, "And Elkot, if you don't want to flee than don't, to be honest I am not even sure Falees is a threat to you I'd just rather not risk having to fight a zombie dragon along with everything else."

>>18016631
WATCH. INTENTLY.

Oh my god I forgot about this tonight. Give a bit to get caught up.

rolled 90 = 90

I get a feeling every other god is watching this too.

>>18016676
Being the most exciting event (second only to watching some random human going about his day), all but one are, I guess.

rolled 50 = 50

>>18016676
Let's have a party. Invite them over, pull up a shithuge couch and make golden popcorn. Which is on fire.

The wheels have been set in motion. Changing their course at this crucial pivoting point would be dangerous interference.

If we want to weigh the true nature of our creation, we will observe how the scales balance here and now.

rolled 47 = 47

>>18016741
but do it from the moon with a fuck huge movie screen and our human form

>>18016741

Elkot nods, "Fine. . . But we skipped the part where we decide why we must fight in the first place."

"I feel it is the right thing to do, if my god disagrees let so be known."

you have been invoked, you may send Ur or Elkot a message regarding your will in this matter or you may remain silent and allow events to transpire as they shall.

[Sorry, but due to some unfortunate events I may periodically disappear. I'll do my best to keep up though.]

>>18016778
It's not like they can do anything else. How would they bargain with Faleen?

rolled 17 = 17

>>18016778

Remind them (in an indirect way) that they must act on their own free will.

rolled 25 = 25

>>18016778
Just stay quiet.

rolled 57 = 57

>>18016778
Give Ur and Elkot a clear sense that it's up to them. You aren't going to stop them from doing, nor suggest anything. This is for them to decide and do. We aren't that kind of god.

Also, do whatever needs doing, Apotheos. We'll wait.

[ Wont be back for at least an hour. Deity Quest General till then.]

Let's give Falees one chance, we ask him to advance alone without his minions. If he does so he won't come to blows with anyone and can be tested as normal. If he refuses it's as good as a declaration of war, and Ur can proceed with the beat-down.

rolled 6 = 6

>>18016822
Let's give Ur the option of passing a single message of his choosing to Falees. That is the absolutely maximum interference I'm willing to do.

>>18016778

"We have given you the means to gather wisdom and knowledge in this world. But it is up to you to determine how it is wielded."

Honestly, I WANT Ur and everyone to succeed because they're awesome. Their methods of achieving knowledge are more in alignment with our own goals as far as my personal opinion goes.

However, if Falees does not see his fallacy at this battle, he will eventually. Ur's defeat here is not the end, simply a different path that will be marked by different opportunities and different choices to be made.

>>18016822
Without his minions AND without the demon.

If he gets anything from us or our workings it will be by his own hands.

>>18016841
Oh, I like this.

rolled 75 = 75

This

>>18016806
>>18016817

Plus this

>>18016841

>>18016869

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan to me too.

what happened to suggesting sarma impart music?
also we should sort out champions for the others too, allow them to choose, or volunteer to decide ourselves. any blessings should be related to their patron god and definitely balanced.

>>18017178

Music can wait until after we see how this turns out.

Also, I think it'd be best if the other gods choose their own champions. They probably have their own methods that they would prefer to use on their own.

>>18017178
I'd still like to work with Sarma on creating and distributing Music.

Music is a thing of beauty. It is a way to more directly share the depth of emotion. It is mutable, and powerful. It is most definitely something that should be included in Apotheosi.

rolled 97 = 97

>>18017178
You know, if we finally get to giving each god a champion we could set certain conditions that apply to all of the champions.

For example, one such condition could be that if a new champion is not selected and the old champion still wishes to live, the champion will eventually rise in the place where they died after a great deal of time passes. Let's say, anywhere from a few decades to a few centuries?

Would be a good way to keep Ur in the game, if he falls here.

>>18017267
I'd suggest one century for that. In that way, the world will have a chance to pass the champion up in just about every respect before they awaken. It means a champion will have to work their way back up and reprove their worth.

I say let the guy come, however he must come in peace and follow the same rules everyone else does. If he doesn't, then he shall suffer divine retribution, followed by a dragon frying your ass. This place is a holy ground for learning, not mindless bloodshed.

>>18017492
>Divine retribution
why?

We should give Falees a chance.

*A* chance. The fact that he came here shows that he is at least willing to make an effort to learn on his own, which is a step, however small, in the right direction.

Allow him to approach and deal with Elkot. But let it be known that should Falees try anything funny, he will be taken care of accordingly.

We cannot simply stop him because he is "evil" or "dangerous". If he seeks knowledge, no matter the reason, he is welcome to it. as is everyone else in the world.

Fuck yeah, deity quest! I hope Apotheosi gets back soon. This is my favorite quest thread of all time.

rolled 48 = 48

>>18017614
I still think that we should let what comes come - let Ur know that the world is for mortals, not gods, and that we'll be interfering as little as possible, even if it hurts our goals. Offer to pass a single massage to Falees of Ur's choosing, if he wishes, but otherwise let him be. We trust Ur to do what he thinks is best, and we won't do anything to change that.

>>18017669

aww damn, been missed the deity quest thread despite lurking on /tg/ for the past few hours, and now that I find it it's on a break.

"You dont need to take up this much room, no one is going to miss all the details that go into your FORMLESS form, Formless." Sarma says, annoyed.

Formless grumbles something and shifts to a smaller scale.

All the gods are sitting on your moon, watching the events to transpire. A few obsidian hands float around holding bowls with various snacks, such as golden popcorn on obsidian fire.

Ur climbs onto Elkot's back.

"I am pained to see one of my dragons is already allowing themselves to be mounted, it is a subservient position I would not expect one such pride to allow themselves into." Says Picus.

"I think the existence of that dragon-born drakfey shows that there was already precedent" Responds Formless, who is then glared at by all present.

Falees sees the dragon rise from the ocean of sand, and makes the worm he rides lower so as to dismount it. The worms group in front of him, as though to shield. The drakfey stand around awaiting commands.

Ur clings to a spine-like protrusion on Elkots back, trying to stay prone so as to minimize risk of being seen.

Someone needs to draw this, seriously...it captures the mood of the entire Quest right here.

As Elkot nears, Falees closes his eyes to focus on his magic. You can see tendrils of necrotic power extending from him, probing in every direction for souls and awaiting one he wills to grasp and destroy.

A full minute later Elkot has come within range.

Falees attemtps to grab Elkot's soul and rip it from his body. But their pull is suddenly countered by an opposing force, for you can see simular tendrils of power extending now from Ur.

Falees' eyes open wide.

Elkot opens his maw wide, and it fills with the inferno of Picus. Falees recovers from his suprise and rips the souls from the two nearby drakfey. Using these souls he forms a dome around himself which the quickly proceeding magical fire fails to penetrate. The worms, however, have no such protection and are lit aflame. Falees reacts to this by sending one of them below ground. The other two he rips the souls from and fires them as ammunition towards Elkot.

The souls fly right through Elkot's mighty scales and into his own soul. You see Elkot's soul warp under the blow, nearly tearing from his body which begins to fall as Elkot seems stunned.

Already finished falling is Ur. He impacts the ground silently, slowing his descent at the last second with arcane magic. Falees has yet to notice him.

"Falees!" Ur shouts, "I give you this one chance to show your fealty to my god. I am Ur, the first: The first lich, the first to see the eternal world which enwrapes our own, the first to use magic not engrained in my blood, the first wanderer, the first teacher, the first student, the first to traverse continents without the aid of flight or gills, the first to reach the obelisk of Uraemrys for its intended purpose, and by Uraemrys I shall be the first to show you to all of existence to be the pretender to true power and all which has value that you are. Show you do not value pride or power by surrendering to me and casting away the demon who is your tutor, or be the first to be destroyed by me."

"He should have seized the suprise." Picus comments.

"It was noble to give his opponant a chance to face him, I like this one." Ius retorts.

"That was badass!" Formless shouts.

Falees turns around.

That was pretty damn awesome, but I didn't expect Ur to be the kind of guy that screams titles...

Men shall tell tales of this day; the grand duel between the first necromancer and the first lich in the beginnings of the world.

>>18019107
Well, we gave the example. Even more so towards elkot, but Ur probably won't know that.

>>18019112
And of how the dragon went down like a bitch without accomplishing much of anything.

>>18019129

Welp, I guess you are right, he's just like us.
I'm so proud...

>>18019132
Well, his soul almost did get ripped out of it's body....

>>18019132
I don't think Ur would have even gotten without shouting range without Elkot. Elkot is a bro, even if he went down that easy and even though he's greedy. He showed pride and a willingness to take great personal risk in defense of knowledge.

"And whith what will you destroy me?" Falees asks, "You have no weapon, can you even punch with those flesh-less hands of yours? I am your superior in necromancy, you cannot deny this. And you show yourself to be aware that I also have access to powers you do not. Will you kill me by falling slowly? The only corpses here are my corpses. I control the drakfey, I control the worms, and soon Ill control your dragon freind" As he finishes the drakfey begin to rise again, with new souls imbued. You can also see a pool of soul beginning to build within one of the worms. Elkot has landed around half a mile away. His body is damaged greatly by the crash, and his soul is only very slowly repairing itself.

"Technically your forgetting to count me." Says Ur, "And you show the weakness of your power by assuming I need corpses to make undead."

Ur focuses, and six souls begin to form around him. They have no vessel, but rather exist on their own, ghosts.

The ghosts fly towards Falees, who in panick attempts to withdraw the souls from the drakfey again to form a sheild. He is too slow, however, and the ghost begin to rip at his soul. With no other choice, Falees begins channeling his own soul into a shield. You can see his life-force slowly disappearing to fuel a shield that only barely keeps the raging ghosts at bay.

Wait...a king who built his empire on OUR magic is fighting OUR chosen champion alongside a dragon that's sworn itself to OUR cause and a fae...which is OUR race. And all this is over OUR obelisk. And all the gods are watching all this from OUR moon...

It's quite clear now, despite what Ius might think, we RUN this shit!

>>18019213
Formless is going to be like, "Holy shit, maybe the Abadar is right about subtlety leading to epic shit..."

Well done Ur, you have made Daddy proud.

>>18019271
He just hates Formless.

>>18019276
Not enough to keep him under maximum oversight, though.

Despite his horrible predicament, Falees manages the presence of mind to send a command to the burried sandworm that still has a soul.

The sand below Ur begins to sink slightly, he looks down just in time to see a great maw appear below him. He is unable to react quickly enough to prevent being swallowed whole. Being a skeleton, this is unlikely to kill Ur. But it still renders him nearly helpless.

You see a spirit of black fire erupt near Falees' ear.

"Now things get really interesting..." Picus mutters.

You can hear the demon whisper, "What is wrong Falees? Having trouble destroying the ghosts when you are channeling your own soul, killing yourself to stay alive? Perhaps if you had a outside force... or more power...."

"I can't die! Take what you will demon, but don't let me die!"

"Anything? I choose.... You."

The ghosts cry out moments before they are vanquished.

Falees glances around for Ur, and when he sees the worm laying on its side he begins to laugh. His laugh is interrupted by his own cry of pain. He falls to his knees as a massive spirit of void fire appears above him and begins flowing into his open mouth.

You can't say you didn't expect this. In our initial plans we were going to identify souls with promising first deeds to the others as options for their champions. Our choice for Picus was a murderer, the first murderer. That man is or was Falees.

Hey Apotheos, just a question out of the blue here: do the western, eastern and southern continent actually have names?

>>18019301

How disappointing, I wish he would've seen the fallacy of his reliance on pure power before now, but he has made his decision.

>>18019448
don't think they've been named yet. Here's the latest map btw, I don't think it has been updated since last thread.

A new combatant enters the field. Mae in the form of a small sandworm. She is allready very near the zombie sandworm when the demon appears, and when she reaches it she burrows into its dead flesh. It takes about ten seconds for her to find Ur, and about five more for him to crawl out of the hole she makes for him.

When Ur emerges he sees the massive soul of black fire pouring into Falees' body, which is locked in a silent scream. Ur pauses only a moment before he focuses another ghost into existence, than another than another. He takes the ghosts and slams their souls into a single force, which he fires through the stream connecting the demon to Falees. The Demons vulnerable soul is ripped, with about a quarter trapped within Falees and the rest hovering incomplete above him. And shifts chaotically, and a presence which is disconcerting even to a god emanates from its incomprehensible cries of suffering.

"What did that do?" Sarma asks.

"Normally a soul cannot be destroyed without ultra-powerful necromancy not wielded by either of these, I guess when the demon started channeling himself into the mortal it made itself vulnerable... But a demons soul is far greater than a mortals, even severed it may be able to exist on as a incomplete being." You explain.

"Did the lich do that because he thought it was tactical? or was it pitty..." Ius wanders.

Picus tilts his head in interest. Formless is practically jumping up and down with excitement.

The incomplete soul of void fire lets out a eldritch roar and begins to take the form of a great dragonlike beast. Ur backs up, uncertain.

Falees is alive, but in his soul you see great chaos as the new demonic addition blends with the depleted soul of Falees.

The firefox one is 4chan X. It's amazing.

>>18019597
4chan X works for ffox. There might be a 4chan+ too.

"Thank you Mae, but you need to run now." Ur says without taking his eyes off the demon. She burrows back into the ground, but you can see that she doesn't actually retreat.

Ur attempts to grab the demon soul, but it proves laughably ineffective. The demon is now in the form of a dragon of black fire, and launches forward. Ur suddenly summons a few more ghosts, and rolls to the side while sweeping them around him.

The demon halts, confused. It seems it is incapable of distinguishing between the souls. It begins destroying them as fast as Ur can create them, but it is simple logic that eventually it will hit the real Ur, and you are not sure he could survive such a blow.

The the shadow of a dragon falls over the demonic dragon. A pillar of fire descends from the sky upon the fiend, a pillar that does seem to hurt it some.

The demon roars in frustration, now having two targets. Ur backs up and attempts to hold the demon again, hoping the fire will have weakend its resistance.

It works, the demon is held by necrotic energy. But the magic holding him is greater than Ur alone should be able to conjure. You see power extending from a now standing Falees.

rolled 52 = 52

>>18019670
Yeah, I'm not even bothered by the lack of interactivity for this part, since we'll get to that later. Right now, I'm in it for the amazing ride.

>>18019670

Nothing wrong with that. We've set this up, moved the pieces, and now we watch the result. Being a god doesn't mean being there and delivering the final blow, it means giving the hero the sword to deliver it and watching to see what he does with it.

The demon stuggles against the binds of the two necromancers. It seems as though it will break free, but then Elkot lands before it and delivers another stream of fire into its shifting form. This seems effective at weakening it ever so slightly more, but it regenerates constantly.

"Keep doing that till it dies." Falees speaks in a surprisingly loud and powerful version of his voice.

"It isnt as easy as exhaling," Elkot says while gasping for breath, "It is magic, I cant keep it up forever, and this thing doesn't seem near death."

"We cannot hold it forever either." Ur mutters. "We need to seal it somehow. Not a corpse, it could fight inside a corpse, a inanimate object."

"No object could hold it, the object would have to be magic in and of itself." Falees says as though it were elementary.

Ur prays to you. He asks that you bless an item on the field to hold the demon captive. You may either do so or let them figure somthing else out, if they can. If you do bless an item, your options are: Ur's cloack, Ur's staff, one of the drakfey's spears, or one of Falees' shamanistic trinkets he wears.

The other gods look at you, aware of the prayer.

>>18019670

That's why we give'em free will.

Ask Picus if he's OK with this.

Wait, is Falees on our side now? Has he genuinely seen the error of his ways, or is this just a facade?

I'd say the safest of those options would be Ur's staff since we're unsure whether Falees has truly reformed. We could put it into one of Falees' amulets if we're okay with him at this point.

In any case, we probably should take some action here.

rolled 11 = 11

>>18019742
We should give it to Falees, and give Falees to Picus, we have Ur, we need to even the scales a bit, start giving avatars to the other gods.

We cant give everything to Ur, he is ours, but we are are the middle ground, and we need to build favors with the other gods as much as we need an epic champion.

>>18019802
Putting it in Ur's staff sounds like a bad idea, this is much better. Ur's staff may already have some magical energy in it, which the demon could probably harness. We want to seal the demon in something which could be locked away somewhere.

we shouldn't need to ask anyone, but we should make it less direct. make ur or someone make it themselves or have it cost something. we should make sure that it won't be something that could be used by the demon or that would lead others to free him

>>18019848
I believe Falees is fighting against the demon for his own purposes. He sees this as an opportunity to be free of the demon pact which has dominated his actions since the early days of the world, and he knows that in all likelihood Ur would rather let him live and atone than outright kill him.
>>18019850
If other gods ask, of course. But we shouldn't give avatars to other gods, especially because they could already have their own.

>>18019863
Picus would like to see an item of dark power in the world capable of corruption though, and Formless is likely insatiable.

Now that it seems the fight has begun winding down, let's start deciding on what we're going to do immediately after it.

We called the gods together to watch this battle, a momentous event in the history of Apotheosi, yes. However, as someone has pointed out already, nothing we do ever has only one purpose.

After the fight ends, let's deal with the matter of champions that we've been putting off for so long. This battle is a demonstration of the achievements of our won champion Ur, for the benefit of the other gods. We should inform them of the long-neglected fact that they are free to create their own champions, if they aren't aware of such already. Such was the agreement when we first revived Ur.

It is possible for them to select a suitable champion out of the souls we send to them, to return to the world in a different form as agents of their god. Selecting a living mortal is also a possible option. We will allow the other gods to act at their own discretion concerning such matter, but we are always open to give advice in such matter if they request it.

This may also be a good point to set down whatever special qualities champions would have, such as the "one-century revival" thing mentioned previously.

Downvoting sealing the demon in a weapon.

You look at the gods staring at you.

Picus makes eye contact with you and shrugs.

You don't want the demon to be easily freed, but don't want to burden Ur or give it all to Falees.

A bolt of black lightning strikes the demon from the sky. The demons soul is suddenly split. One of Falees' trinkets and Ur's staff both glow with black energy, and both Ur and Falees fling the half they have control of into to object on the others person.

. . .

The battlefield is finaly calm. At least visually. Within Falees' body you see a soul in turmoil.

Ius speaks, "It seems we have another incident of a new creature. Picus, I beleive you have primary rights to its creation."

Picus nods, "I would like to hear your suggestions though, I did not expect this to happen in this exact manner."

What do you suggest?

rolled 75 = 75

>>18019963
But it is not merely babysitting. Nothing we do has only one objective remember?

If the other gods possess a champion, that champion becomes the most reliable instrument of their divine will in the world.

In other words, it makes their plans and actions far more visible. Such information is of great benefit to us. Of course, we will not make the opposite mistake of focusing only on the champions. Picus, for example, is certainly crafty enough to see through such a thing. No, we will keep in mind the benefit of the champions' existence to ourself, but we will also observe less obvious events as well.

I agree. This is something Falees brought on himself. He is a soul half torn between two existences, and while that conflict sets him apart from other beings, it does not start a new race. This curse will not be passed on to others, it is something he alone will have to deal with.

Picus nods.

"It is in part a demon." Sarma adds, "I recommend it bear a stark resemblance to a corpse, or a doll. For it is a not enirely human soul within a human form. Those who look upon it would see this, and also perceive in its form the things a demon was made to project, it shall project power, sadism, and an image the proud always see of themselves, class."

Ius speaks. "It may have the regenerative soul of a demon, but it is still in part human. Mortal souls were not ment to mix, much less with immortal souls. So to maintain this pact I as GM mandate a obstical must be given, though I will leave its nature to Picus. Also, the demons are my anathema, and I do not want them being present on this world. As such, I curse them to never be able to show themselves, or itself, to the sun of my creation."

You can tell from Picus' reaction that he will probably ignore Formless.

"Very well, I like most of what I hear and shall head it. They shall indeed be much like the liches in terms of their race. It shall not be a true race so much as a unique set of beings powerful and evil enough to attain it, and in the future let it be noted I will probably demand much more in both those feilds. For the Beings shall be as liches are To Uramrys, they will be my champions. And I call them vampires. As to the flaw. They shall have to renew their pact with the demon whose soul they now possess daily with blood. Assume that the other suggestions are also heeded, save for I do not wish them to... Sparkle."

This didn't seem to be what Ius had in mind, but he doesn't object.

Back on Apotheosi, the former combatants speak.

We don't necessarily want EVERYTHING to be taken from bits of existing lore. Ideally we should have our own original twist to things. The fey in this quest, for example, are not so much immortal fairies as long-lived shapeshifters. Natural and not supernatural.

Blood may well be used in some form of ritual by warlocks to achieve long life and even immortality, but normal blood shouldn't have enough nutrition or soul energy or whatever to sustain them.

Besides, we already made it so that the warlocks can use their own souls as a power source for magic. Giving them the bloodsucking thing seems like we're starting to just lump random things together.

Nah we should go for it. They need a drawback.

......Damn it Formless do you want us to beat you to death with a shovel?

Vampires aren't supposed to sparkle, but the sun is supposed to turn them into unicorns.

"Then I guess we both get half." Falees says raising an eyebrow.

"What now Falees?" Ur asks.

"I think I shall change that. I am over a quater mephisto now. . . And to be blunt he had a quite larger personality than 'I' had. I am the combination of Mephisto and Falees, and shall now be called Mephistopheles. As for the intent of your question I beleive I will depart. My priorities have undergone a significant shift all of a sudden..."

One of the worms animates.

"Was being swallowed painful Ur?" He asks.

"I don't feel pain." He answers.

"Ah, well I need to get out of the desert without the sun rising on me somehow... and there still seems to be a supply of blood in it..." Mephistopheles says mostly to himself.

Elkot places a claw upon the just starting to move worm, pegging it down. "I don't think it is that simple, Falees, you nearly killed me."

Mephistopheles rolls his eyes and takes the talisman holding half the demons soul in his hand. "I could finish the job right now."

"Last I checked we were kicking your ass." Elkot roars.

"Elkot, let him go. That we still have reason to fight is debatable, and it is unwise to engange in a fight we stand a chance of losing when we may not be gaining anything."

Elkot growls before taking flight.

"I'm sure we will meet again." Mephistopheles cheers to Ur.

Ur nods.

The worm swallows Mephistopheles and burrows into the ground.

Called it.

>>18020474
Mephistopheles? Really?

The wheel of fate begins its turn here. The eternal cycle of battle between the lich, the faequeen and the vampire begins here.

This is surprisingly more awesome than I thought it would be and I had high expectations.

rolled 5 = 5

Why would the faequeen be battling Ur?

Goddammit Apotheos, you had this planned from the start, didn't you!

You magnificent bastard.

>>18020556

Good night OP

>>18020558
I know, I first noticed it back when we found out the name of Falees' demon was Mephisto. I was like, "waaaaiiit a minute..."

>>18020556

>>18020517
I just included her, is all.

Apotheos you are a God among men.

have a good night OP!

we should have some drawings, of the epic battle and of the audience, for the next thread

It bares repeating-best damn quest ever. We're watching what will later be mythology unfold before our eyes; once we know more I would love to run a campaign in this setting several thousand years after what we're seeing

Thank you for giving me something to write about in my College Writing course.

Also, this quest reminds me of....
