For example, a two-step plan would take the first 6 linked rolls. A particularly bad failure can stop your plans early.When rolling 1d100, I will consider criticals within the first ten linked rolls. Only criticals that occur in the first three rolls will be counted as "supercrits". This is still the case even if you'd have plan long enough to require more than ten rolls.When I roll 1d20, the rules are the same, but I only consider criticals for the first five rolls, rather than ten. Criticals in the first three are still "supercrits".When a plot choice results in extensive debate, I'll try to weed out the most popular trains of thought, and then call a vote on them. When voting, please respond with only a link back to the post and the number corresponding to your opinion. Other votes are discounted.Finally, note that this is not a democracy; it is a benevolent dictatorship.
HAHA TIME FOR SHADOW QUEST
Recent Events Summary:You've learned that Lucifer, an angel second only to Sandalphon, is leading an excavation effort - and his goal is the very artifact you've set your sights on, the Staff of Winds. He's using Vonnegut's resources to accomplish this task as fast as possible, but his anxiousness to see it done created a rift between himself and the crime lord. You capitalized on that, earning Vonneguts allegiance and promising him access to your contacts, and to have him accompany you if you ever meet with the Black Lady, Queen of Vampiria.But before Vonnegut could create his promised distraction, the earth split open - and the constructs of City 002 attacked in great force. You and your party managed to reach the inside of the excavation, and you discovered it's an airship once piloted by Flint's ancestors, long since buried after they fled from the skysever.The ancient technology recognized Flint's touch, and began to power up once again. Poised so close to finding the staff, you decided to pilot the wind-driven ship through the storm of the skysever to reach the islands of Xile, the floating kingdom of Aeolus.While your allies crewed the ship, you moved to the upper decks, where Lucifer was battling against a powerful robot powered by an earth dynamo. You were forced to intervene before the fight ripped the ship apart. Lucifer ignored you, for the most part, and your combined attacks destroyed the robot. You salavaged its dynamo core for yourself.>con't
The ship entered the skysever, and, exposed on the decks, you were blown into the storm. You managed to fight your way through the winds and make it to Xile, injured, but in one piece.You quickly ran across a strange abberation of darkness, powerful, but seemingly mindless. You evaded its attacks and made your escape. It briefly tailed you, then lost interest and let you go.Meanwhile, the remnants of the airship made it through the storm, but promptly plummeted to the ground in a storm of smoke and fire. The resident dragon does not seem to have taken too kindly to the disturbance.

>>26759728c-could we use Titan then do a hypersonic schattenkrieg?
>>26759726Can we then expect some Cyrillic smut?
You swim rapidly, and quickly distance yourself from the monster. The black orbs zip through the water around you, eating away at your environment, but you're able to dodge most of them.To your surprise, the creature blinks past you, again firing. One of the orbs scrapes you, taking out a chunk of shadow. The burning acid hurts far more than you'd think. You grit through the pain and keep swimming. It fades after a short time, your aura working to repel the shadow magic.This time, it doesn't follow you, and you quickly gain enough distance to put it out of your normal sensory range. You're not sure what was motivating it in the first place. Maybe it's mindless. Maybe you just got lucky. In either case, the water of the lake swiftly repairs your wound.You surface at the opposite end of the lake.>mana: 6/58The forest looms in front of you. You're trying to decide on a direction when a break in the sky catches your attention. The blue is suddenly twisting, transforming into a swirling grey mass - and an airship flies through the wall.It's a smoking wreck. Fire rages on the upper deck. Pieces of the hull are separating from the main body, creating a sight like a falling meteor storm. You can hear the plaintiff whining of the ship's thrusters as it tries to slow its descent all the way from here. It slams into the ground in the middle of the forest, where the slope rises up a small mountain.You stare for a moment, shocked. Flint. Auriel. Ila. Adavan.Abigail!Just as you're about to start forward, you hear a roar as loud as an airship's engine - and the biggest dragon you've ever laid eyes on takes to the air, rising up out of the castle in the middle of the islands. It sweeps toward the wreckage. Its scales are a bright light blue - it's almost invisible against the sky. A powerful force of wind surrounds it.You need to get over there, fast.What do you do?>risk flying over at top speed>stay on the ground>attack the dragon>another strategy
>>26759788Can't chattenkrieg in Titan. Also it's a bad idea to fly on Xile.
>>26759799>>26759788
>>26759799Chain fast blink over to the ship.
Rolled 15Finally caught up.
>>26759827agreed
>>26759799Swim through the lakes/rivers to get as close as possible to the wreck then either fly or run. We are sanic fast in water.
So, we have options here.Lemme lay out how I see this happening:Step 1 Observe-Where did our XP go?-Why can he fly in the sever?-Where is Vonnegut?-Where is Lucifer?-Where is the sun in the sky?Step 2 OrientAnalyze if possible dragonStep 3 Decide-Take him down to the server & into a mexican standoff with Lucifer-Take him for a swim & into a mexican standoff with the shadowmaskStep 4 Act<For my next trick, I’ll need your hat, Vonnie. Help a dapper chap out, that is unless you’d rather take this sucker yourself.><Auriel, Flint, focus fire to grab his attention. Lure him to the (sever || water). Avadan, Abby, bind him and set him up for Vonnegut. When he’s close enough you slick the ground and get ready to push him into the lake, and poke a hole in his throat if possible. Ila, shadow puppet him if able, otherwise see what you can do. Then everybody either zero in on the base of his wings. Freeze them, and cut them off, then push him into the (sever || water).>Water: Submerged Adamantized Titanic Hypersonic Schattenkrieg.
>>26759788You can't use any abilities except for berserk while you're Titanic.
hueh
Then, normal schatten to the water's edge, run until within normal blink range, and get there, preserve mana for big finish.
>>26759844You're assuming our allies are all fine.Kind of stupid since they just crashed.
>>26759842>We are sanic fast in water.You are as fast in water as you are on foot. The Waterborne bonus didn't make you better in water, it just made you as good as you are on land.Also, there are no more bodies of water between you and the crash site, just forest.
Rolled 45>>26759799I think we should attempt diplomacy on the dragon, while keeping blink up to dodge if it proves agressive, then fight it if it can't be reasoned with.
Where's the pastebins with the ability descriptions?

I'm getting a feel for fast blink chain to the ship.Y/N
hmm, been thinking. We might want to get that final wind resistance if we get xp from this battlethat Sky Sever is definately limitting right now.
>>26759949No, preserving mana is paramount

>>26759966>Costs 6 mana NO

Rolled 42>>26759966Y
listen, theres a terrific takedown that requires adamantize, we must preserve mana
>>26759970XP burn.
>>26759799Stay on the ground, but move quickly.Let's not fly on Xile. That would be kind of dumb.
WE can have a adamantize dragon body! SAY NO
Rolled 55>>26759970So we burn some EXP on Experience Burn to get mana.
>>26760014>>26760004Stop being so damn obtrusive. We can XP Burn and getting there is more important then your "cunning" plan
I think there's enough support to roll with it.Writing.
I hope the light blue dragon knows wind magic and exhales gusty gusts instead of fire.
goad it to "EAT ME" like tommy lee. Then blink into its mouth. Tell me, /Trustworthy G/entlemen, how dark is it INSIDE its body?ADAMANTIZE, then Shadow Puppet that sucker
>>26760037tell me THAT is not worth it.
>>26760064shut up alreadyyou're annoying
>>26760064Or we could just -not- fight the giant dragon right now and focus on getting our party the fuck out of the crashed airship.
>>26760064If we were inside it we could just eat it's soul directly like the wyrm back at Kelvere.You're really damn annoying, by the way.
Give them a ride on your shiny back.How can the damn thing fly in the sever anyway?
>>26760079It isn't. Priority is making sure our party is alive and getting to them as soon as possible.
>>26760064>>26760079>>26760014Jesus Christ I already hate you.You're like some sort of hyperactive puppy, except annoying as fuck.
Guys, stop wasting your time girl fighting each other and get on topic
Hey SM, the vulnerability scale is something like this right?Very Vulnerable> Vulnerable> Weak> Neutral> Good> Strong> Extreme> Haha No
>>26760130But there is nothing to do right now, decision has been made.Besides we've been trying to get this on-track, by denying stupid ideas of someone who is really loud.
>>26760141I think there is a "Fair" in there somewhere too.
The cracked up puppy has a point. How does that dragon fly around in the sever?
>>26760154By being a wind dragon, most likely. Just lie our wind dynamo airship was (mostly) able to get here.
>>26760149then come up with an alternative instead of getting your panties in a twist. At least he is being productive.
>>26760154Probably because if earth magic costs x2 in here wind magic costs half. Willing to bet a dragon has a bunch of mana + spells that could delay or hold off the Skysever if an airship can do it on a larger scale.
Rolled 19>>26760149Since there's nothing else to do.I think Shadow should wind up having a brotherly or sibling relationship with Abigail, instead of a romantic one.
>>26760154ITSAFUCKINGDRAGONISHOWI was under the impression that the Sky-Sever chased us when we were near the edge, but near the center of the island it can't reach. Some word from SM might help though.
>>26760178I've got no panties on m8, they can't get twisted.He's being counterproductive.We've got nothing to work on, as I've mentioned.don't test me bro
I think wind immunity makes dragon puppet worth it. (pleasedontcrucifyme)
>>26760186Please no.
>>26760180It flies better than us?This cannot stand. Must kill.
>>26760178He's being annoying as fuck is what he's being.
>>26760196Then produce something, dependapottamus.
>>26760210Hey now I can agree with that sentiment, I'm just stating my theory. In any case that dragon is a threat to our friends. We don't like it when our friends are threatened.
You need to go fast.>mana: 0/58You disappear from the lake's edge and flash through the trees like black lightning. Every second you occupy another spot; you peer through the leaves as best you can, warping from rock to tree branch to clearing. You're at the crash site in moments.You fully outpaced the dragon.>2 turns until it arrivesThe ship is a burning wreck. The main hull lies in a deep crater, twisted and cracked; the adamantium is ashed over. You here a heavy clanging sound. A plate of metal flies free.Auriel pokes her head out and breathes deep. "Thank the Light. Come on, child!" She climbs up, plants her legs on the edge of the steel, and reaches down. Abigail is pulled out next, her hair mussed and her face covered in soot, but she's in one piece.You're on them in moments. <Abby! Are you alright? Are you hurt?>"Shadow...you're ok." Abigail hugs you. "I'm fine. We thought you...I called for you, but..." She wipes her face with a hand, but all she manages to do is smug the ash on her chin.Ila arrives next, deftly hopping out of the hull. She appears a bit more beat up, having fought at close range, but this does not detract from her usual acrobatic grace. Adavan heaves himself up after her.<What about Flint? And Vonnegut?>Auriel's face goes still. "The engine room was at the center of the ship. They're still down there. Probably ok," she adds quickly. "The engine is usually very heavily armored. They're probably just stuck."A roar reminds you of the impending company.What do you do?>tell them to get clear, head into the wreckage in search of Flint>hold off the dragon while they search the wreckage>some other strategy
>>26760186StopPlease
>>26760229I produce you a picture.

>>26760242>tell them to get clear, head into the wreckage in search of FlintAlso warn them about the black hand blood magic
>>26760256I'm not interested in your scat, shitpillow.
New guy here, just caught up last night.Here's how I think Shadow sees everyone:Flint > BrotherIla > SisterAuriel > Brother's Girlfriend / FriendAbigail > Daughter Everyone wants someone that they can go Liam Neeson Taken over.Also, Shadow Master:This has become my favorite quest. Awesome writing, good pacing, and great character development. This is the type of thing that makes me want to go into cryogenic stasis so I can come out and be able to read all of it, without the wait.
>>26760309top lel
>>26760242>hold off the dragon while they search the wreckageAnd have Abby leave some summons with us.Surely she can't keep rolling 1's, right?
>>26760314>Abigail > DaughterListen buddy.I think you might have missed a few threads.Like it or not, there's no going back to daughteru stage now.
>>26760242They search wreckage, we fight dragon. Or talk it to death.
>>26760242Ask Auriel, she knows where to place the right person on the right place. <Big dragon coming our way. Do I intercept it or go find Flint?>
Rolled 82>>26760314>Abigail > DaughterI think the best we can aim for at this point is protective older brother.
>>26760242>hold off the dragon while they search the wreckageget vonnies hat while your out for impending bossfight
So for the dragon I see two strategies considering we can't fly up to it.Purchase ray of darkness and xp burn some mana to snipe it's shit.go up to it and Titanic to engage it in Kaiju fight.
>>26760314>Flint > Husbando>Ila > Waifu>Auriel > Waifu>Abigail > WaifuFix'd. Now everyone is happy!
>>26760392yessss....
Rolled 58>>26760392I am the opposite of happy at that chart.
>>26760386Inefficient, expensive and slow.Go for the throat or adamantize it
Hm. We were able to receive mana from shadow mages during the fight over Ring City. Can Ila channel her mana into us to give us a boost?
>>26760350Eeh, you're probably right. Not now that she's been aged 11 years, each day waiting, hoping, and praing that we'd come and save her. We're probably past that, now, I agree.>>26760392Oh gods, don't start the Waifu Wars again...
>>26760386Titanic only lasts for a few turns.We could try and scale it's body and go Berserk on it's head, Shadow of the Colossus style.
friendly reminder, we can use transport to go to our cave of origin
What happen to Lucifer?
>>26760378>Abigail > SisterStill wrong.Also:Fucking namefags everywhere for no reason, I've actually contributed things to the quest and I still don't see the reason to get one. Why are you all such attention whores?Like, Sorry is the only person who "earned" his name for lack of a better word, and at least he wrote smut.

>>26760443 Anon, inferior. Soundwave, Superior
>>26760378>>26760414I honestly hope agreeing to go with the flow means SM's just going to take it where it goes naturally. I'm sick of arguing over this shit. Personally, I can't see Shadow and Abby as anything other than inseparable at this point so I don't really care how they see each other since they're going to end up living together 5ever anyway.

>>26760475Can we have Abby search the wreckage? With summons, she should be safe and more than capable of clearing the debris, if any blocks the path. Adavan can go with her, Flint might need some healing.Ila and Auriel both have loads of battle experience and would be assets in this fight.

There has been more than one time where I have checked the music link, only to find it's a song that I had currently been listening to.
>>26760475Ila would be the least effective in a fight against a monstrous creature. Let her do the searching while the heavyweights do this fight.
>>26760521Schattenkrieg won't work because it requires us to fly.This thing is too big to fight conventionally, even titanic will only help us for a few turns, which we will probably screw up.If we can, try and get up to it's neck and cut off it's head.
>>26760521uhh, sky sever.

>>26760589This guy is on the right track. Our best bet is to play to our strengths here - we're extremely fast and able to dodge at incredible speed. We should aim to blind and otherwise piss off the dragon to maximum levels and eventually exhaust it before going in for the kill.

>>26760925Considering how it's ignoring the sky sever, it might be worth not having to fight it at all.>>26760945Not always true.

>>26760954>>26760991Also backing communication.We do have a Wind-lineage member with us, and if nothing else talking will draw its attention to us.
>>26760954>>26760991I doubt this will work but we can at least get it's attention. Which is the original objective.
So what we know about this dragon:It's the size of a castleIt's got a wind auraAnd it's immune to the sky-severWe have to distract it for now, but should really consider retreating and avoiding it afterwards.Once we have an idea of how powerful it is, and a better amount of MP, then we can work out how to fight it, but this thing is appearing to be one of those things we just have to escape from.

Rolled 6>>26761089Skysever isn't instant is it? We have like half a minute unmolested I thought.
You know you guys, the airship origin is xile.The dragon may be there to assess the damage and possibly assist with repairs, assuming that everything is out to get you is wise, but pretty damn dum at the same time.
>>26761045 3
>>26761050Depends. If part of its programming involves following the orders or protecting Flint/his ancestors, it could go through. I just think it's worth making a pass at - not doggedly pursuing, but a quick check to see if we can avert the fight isn't bad.
>>26761045 do 1

>>26761101Let's not forget that the airship immediately recognized Flint's ancestry and that this dragon is probably ALSO summoned by Flint's ancestors.It might even be likely that part of the programming is to protect Flint from threats.

>>26761197I really think we should just avoid this thing entirely.It isn't omniscient, evidenced by the fact that that shadow thing is still around even with the dragon guarding this place.It might give up pursuing us if we escape to the outer isles, where we would have time to secure our allies and then head out to do reconnaissance.

>>26761182Well, the minute the thing proves to just be another hurr durr summon, we can jam a tree straight through its stupid summon eye.Hopefully, this thing doesn't need to detect Flint's actual blood to verify ancestry like the airship though. If this train of thought is even correct that is.

If we can get the earth dynamo in close proximity to the dragon while it flies, the same might happen.

>>26762095No. The ship's hull was really damaged and taking more damage from the Sky-Sever already. Remember all those shitty rolls SM was making? Those were for hull damage. The ship was already doomed. We just didn't help matters.Also our analyze said the powerful wind scales didn't matter since it was protected by the sky-sever already.
>>26762095It's quite possible that that would do utterly nothing, and cause us to waste the dynamo.Also, we've drawn power from dynamo's before, is there a reason we can't syphon mana from this one? Or at least "Plug In"
>>26762131>>26762132Being airborne makes the Skysever slap our shit. Try again.
>>26762095That's an interesting thought, but do you really expect us to do that? After all the shit we went through for it?

>>26762145when we blink up to it we can grab hold of it and start using Gaping Maw
>>26762149sticky earth debuff magic ball? Maybe we could throw it into the dragon's mouth, fucking up its HOMEOSTASIS. We could always consume the dragon later and nom its body leaving just the dynamo.
>>26762120Nah I have a more ridiculous custom setting in mind.That's what I get for drawing with a mouse. The Venia map turned out pretty alright though.I'm thinking I'll hand-draw a nice map for the Edgyquest setting, though.
Alright, seems like Blink + Hit it really hard has won the dayRoll 1d100, two actions
The Dragon cannot fly if it has no wings...Would it be considered bad form to rip off it's wings and offer them to Auriel to replace her old ones?

You Blink behind the dragon, evading the growing blast of wind. You drop down onto its back - <TRICKS OF THE SHADOW -> The dragon rolls in midair, pointing its belly toward you. <- WON'T FOOL ME!> It flaps its wings again.You take a face full of razor wind as point-blank range. It feels like a mini-skysever, and you're caught totally in the open.>you've taken 23 damage (58/81)You land on the belly of the beast. It flips back over, flapping normally to regain altitude while attempting to shake you off. You cling on, barely.You drive your limbs into its scales. It's like punching knives made out of adamantium. The wind sears your aura off your skin; it bites you with every touch. You crunch a couple of scales, but the dragon hardly notices the damage. The effort hurts you more than it.>you've taken 5 damage (53/81)You're on the dragon's back, but you're not sure how long you can stay there.A few dozen of the trees where the wind hit are vaporized to sawdust. Abigail's reapers are gone, probably destroyed in the blast. Hopefully she'll cast something else.At least it's distracted.What do you do?>try to climb towards its head. It can't be invincible>abandon ship, lead it on a merry chase>some other strategy

>>26762330The wings damn it, attack his wings. Little skin and no scales and are his main form of transportation. Tear them out!
>>26762330Tear off its wings and force it to land? I mean, those things typically are leathery material and not diamond-scales. Failing that, Ink into its nose and expand inside its skull?
>>26762401oh ya, might as well use smog. no allies around and tough as balls opponant.
>>26762330Get rid of those wings.
>>26762330GO FUCKING BRUTAL METALCREATE A BLEEDING OPENINGINK INTO ITS VEINSCONSUME FROM WITHIN

>>26762401>>26762415I'll third smog.
>>26762415It's -covered in wind-What the hell do you think that is going to do against it.
Oh fuck, yeah, use smog, we have that now.This might be a fight that actually lasts more than three rounds.
>>26762425neat
>>26762415>>26762401Addendum: When appropriate.Obviously from our current position (or its back if we go for the wings), toxic smog would do nothing (we're flying and downwind of its mouth-hole). If we vote to go straight for the head, use it then.
>>26762440I don't think we should use smog unless we are near its face because the smog will just get blown away by the wind
>>26762425It can do a lot of damage. I'd rather not be stuck in offense against an opponent like this for 4 turns.
Erode looks useful
>>26762451>>26762454New plan: Ink into mouth, use smog.Y/N????
>>26762439I think it will probably do nothing. Tough enemy, and wind shield. But the ability is free to use, so why not pop it off when we get an opportunity?
>>26762441I ONLY SUGGESTED IT BECAUSE WE USED IT AGAINST A MAGE FROM BEFORE AT JACOBS FIELDWE ONLY NEED THE ENEMY TO HAVE ONE WOUND IN ORDER TO BRUTALIZE THEMFUCKING METAL
Vote 1:>climb for the head of this colossusVote 2:>focus on the wings, take away its maneuverabilityVote 3:>GO METAL OR GO HOME
>>26762460Earth magic costs double mana here and we don't have any at all. It would cost too much exp right now.
>>26762478I'd rather we ink into the nostrils
>>26762460Earth magic. Xile makes it near-useless, at least in combat.>>26762479Because it wastes a turn.
>>267624862
>>267624863
>>26762478Sounds like a possibility to me.Do we want to go for that first, or the wings?
>>26762478You know dragons typically have powerful breath attacks right? (at least all of the ones we've encountered so far)But they have to suck in for those attacks to work, so instead it would be better to ink into his lungs from his nostrils instead of his mouth, and toxic smog there.
>>267624861
>>26762509I'd say wings first
>>26762486Ess-Em I have more summoning questioooons.How does dismissal/banishment work?Would Abby be able to dismiss the summon, or is that caster only?
>>26762520>ink into his lungsAt this point, I'd just go heavy-metal on his lungs.
>>26762550Considering Jun banished one of her summons before, she could possibly attempt it.
To everyone that wants to try and go inside the dragon, That only had a possibility of working last time because the dragon was heavily wounded to start with, and then we screwed it up and took heavy damage.This dragon is leagues stronger than that, I really think we should use as much care as we can while fighting it, possibly retreating after dealing some damage.
>>26762564we could become a porcupine in his lungs and fill him with holes
METAL
>>26762550Summons can in fact be dismissed. This takes a bit of casting time, depending on the summon.The dismissal of this summon is beyond even Abigail's abilities.
>>26762520We've been insided a summon before. It's just a shell with a bunch of magic inside it. I don't think it has lungs.
>>26762590Oh, right, now that I think about it, summons probably can't even be poisoned, can they?

A wing lifts high to twist the dragon once again - and that's your opportunity. You leap, and hook several claws around the front edge of the limb.The dragon roars and shakes, but you hold on. You slam the joint where it connects to its torso. Your claws tear at the leading edge. Spikes of shadow drive into the leathery section of the wing. They're blunted by the wind, but you tear more than one gash.The dragon's heavy aura of wind continues to buffet you at every turn.>you've taken 3 damage (50/81)The dragon begins to spin in an attempt to throw you!>try to hang on, this isn't over yet!>let go, you've done your job.>some other strategy
>>26762687We almost got fucking killed by Legion because we rolled bad while using it and couldn't snap out of the zerker state to properly go on the defensive. This thing does some serious damage. We'd risk a lot of fucking damage we can't afford right now.

The dragon spins, turning over and over. You set in hooks of shadow and hold on for dear life.It spins faster. The wind turns with it, warping into a shell around first its skull, and then its neck. The cone of razor winds grows, and it spins still more rapidly.Power is gathering behind the dragon.This reminds you of your own ability. You feel a bit nervous.But - you've managed to weather the storm. With all the dragon's power concentrated in its movement, you've done a lot more damage to the wing. It's half shredded, and the joint is cracked, bruised, and bleeding. But it's still functioning.You're not sure you want to stick around for when the dragon takes off.What do you do?>two can play at this game (schattenkrieg in the ~opposite direction~)>time to get off Mr. Dragon's Wild Ride>some other strategy

>>26762997Gotta admit, you've been less faggy in this thread. Or maybe you just seem better compared to the real dipshits.But you and >>26763010 are kind of silly to expect us to actually go without rolling all 10. There's just too many people here for it not to happen.
>>26763013Oh. Well, cometary collision is working out in our favor so misunderstanding is moot. I would totally support nightblazing the spell with no reservations if we weren't at 0 mana, though.
Shit, I'm too late. I wanted Shadow to enter through Dragon's mouth then burst out chestburster style.
>>26763040>Or maybe you just seem better compared to the real dipshits.He was the least annoying namefag / tripfag in BFQ.
>>26763049we can still do that once we have this bugger grounded. Right now though it has too many advantages
My ferrets are watching, SM. And we're expecting some glorious shit from this.
>>26763049A few of us were urging in that direction, but it got outvoted by going for the wings and now we're doing this shit.
Rolled 75>>26763040Yeah I suppose I should relax about the actions of others that I have no control over. Maaaan, my psychologist said basically the same thing to.Rolling for pills effectiveness, DC 15.
Right, so after we finish avoiding getting our shit wrecked by it's Schattenkreig-alike, maybe we can get back to the ground to draw away the dragon and hide before sneaking back to our allies.With any luck, it will have lost it's wing in the process.
>>26763040I know. But we can dream, right?
>>26763072Pill me.

>>26763093He posts in every quest, man.
>>26763049Again, that only was even an option last time because we had already crippled the last dragon and were going for a cinematic finish, which we cocked up.If we end getting close to killing this one, just guilotene it's head off and consume it from there.I'd rather sacrifice being fancy if it means winning a battle by a good margin, instead of by the slimmest shadow.
>>26763119Efficiency. Hm.That reminds me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51ZoQmsRrPcThe title, at least, is appropriate, if not the style.

>>26763099>Implying we will even get closeWe took 24 damage from a normal failed roll, a critfail would kill us outright.I'd rather have gone into this fight with a managable supply of mana.Hopefully we can make it out of this in one piece, and with luck it will have lost a wing. When we come back to fight it again, we will be on much better ground, assuming we can find one of Xile's Mana pools.
>>26762981>>26762983You wrap half your body around the end of the wing.And then you start to spin your aura in the opposite direction.The auras both grow in size and power. The dragon's is a twisting thunderhead; yours is a refined point of honed Shadow. They spin, and grow, and spin, and grow.The auras contact each other. An ugly sound screeches out as they rail against each other, aura on aura, as if the air itself is tearing apart at their point of meeting.All the while, power grows behind you - and the dragon.<YOU WILL NOT BEST ME!><We'll see.>BOOMBOOMFor an instant, you feel like you're being torn in half by the force.There's an ugly rip, and then you're speeding away with a dragon's wing in your clutches. You cut out your supersonic almost immediately and try to get down to the ground - you can't fly here, not now.You turn in time to see the dragon. A bloody gash is all that remains of its left flank; it's spinning out of control, straight for the edge of the islands. With a heavy -whumph-, it vanishes through the barrier and into the skysever's outer wall of winds.>you've taken 5 damage (45/81)You hit the ground hard. For a moment, you just stand there and breath. That was intense. You wonder if you killed the dragon.Maybe. Maybe not.An explosion of lightning magic in the direction of the airship wreck snaps you back to the present.Lightning? Oh, shit.You sprint in that direction and try to come up with a plan.What do you do?>head for the lightning>stay quiet, try to find your allies first>hook up with Abigail, then move back to the airship>some other strategy

>>26763202>hook up with Abigail, then move back to the airshipA good hook-up is a great way to unwind from an intense combat/joke
>>26763202>>hook up with Abigail, then move back to the airship
wait changing my vote to grabbing Abby first.
>>26763202For such good rolls to lose that dragon seems a little railroadyRev up that lightning dawg
>>26763202>head for the lightning
>>26763202Let's go beat the fuck out of Lucy.It's what, seven versus one? Unless the inverse ninja law applies, we can't lose.
>>26763202>head for the lightningAfter a move like that, I can't resist walking into the next encounter chest-first and looking ready to kill.
>>26763202>hook up with AbigailOh you SM, you're not even trying to be subtle at this point.
>>26763202>hook up with Abigail, then move back to the airshipkinky
>>26763218There's no kind way to kill a dragon.
>>26763202>hook up with Abigail, then move back to the airshipWell, we've gotten our fuck dragons up quota in for the day. How's about we working on delicious angel snack next?
>>26763202Can we consume the wing on the way down?
Make him our puppet, heal his wings and then we are giant server immune dragon.
>>26763283sure eat the wing
>>26763211BFQ was the amazing trollercoaster that nobody wanted to get off. It was incredible.
>>26763202>hook up with Abigail, then move back to the airship
Rolled 22>>26763202>head for the lightning<Luuuuucy! I'm home!>And pick up his beating where we left it.
Rolled 34>>26763300What was BFQ?
>>26763211BFQ- Blatant Fetish Quest, you can kinda imagine the dark kind of faggotry that went on between those degenerates.
>>26763307>his beatingYou mean our beating?We only got away with how we acted on the airship because our allies got a crit+really high rolls.
>>26763308Baptist Football Queensland
>>26763202>hook up with Abigail, then move back to the airshipLucy's a pretty heavy hitter. Having someone with Spirit could help. Just make sure she isn't in the line of fire.
>>26763172Everyone is Snapple
>>26763202No chicken wings for Shadow?
>>26763308Blatant Fetish Quest.Its name fitted it like a leather glove. Full of blatant rape, futa, mind control, S & M
>>26763202>>head for the lightningSince Abigail was along to help us deal with the dragon, odds are good she saw what just happened, and will see that the dragon is mostly dealt with for the time being, and will head back when she sees the same lightning magic that we just did. No need to delay our return to have us get back at the same time, I don't think.The sooner we get back, the less time Lucifer has facing down fewer adversaries. Also I kind of want to catch what he and Auriel have to say to one another, which is likely to be occurring sooner rather than later.
>>26763289Shut up DioDude.
>>26763307>There are people reading this thread right now who don't get that reference.
>>26763344Ugh I really hated him, I don't know why anyone tolerated him, he soon infected many quests like a plague of sorts,
to the lightningeating wing snack>>26763257Well, you were both moving in opposite directions with supersonic force. Rubber band effect seemed appropriate.
>>26763307Beat him to death with the Dragon's wing.
On an unrelated note, I really want us to see if we can carry around the dragon's wing and use it as protection from the Skysever, or if the self-contained barriers on its scales need to be attached to the dragon itself to work for one reason or another.
>>26763368hence littleI thought that since we took the wing he would swan dive into the earth
>>26763359>Abigail's banshee summons wrecks up our ship not that it matters now>Abigail the summoner can't dismiss summons>Abigail spends both combats running to join us, her summons watch us fuck the dragon up instead of helpingUseless Abby is her new name.
>>26763368>Rubber band effectYou know SM sometimes shadow quest just feels so incredibly cartoony. I like it.
>>26763399The banshee distracted the angels on the hull of the ship while Addy mindraped Lucifer and we ripped the dynamo out of the 002 mech.
>>26763367he's like beetlejuice say his name three times and he shall be summoned
>>26763367Because He is better than you. He is better than everyone.
>>26763399>Banshee killed a fuck ton of angels and we wrecked the ship with a stupid mistake too>No one has the power to dismiss that summon>we got the reapers killed pissing of the dragon
>>26763399>>Abigail the summoner can't dismiss summonsNot sure this matters too much, seeing as higher-tier summons can attempt to break control if the summoner dismisses them, and I'm not sure she's quite practiced enough for us to actually WANT her to dismiss summons rather than just letting her send them off to fight until they keel over instead.
>>26763439Shut the fuck up Snapple
>>26763439Fuck. He's here.
Consume the wing! Because FUCK that dragon!
>>26763439What an egomaniac you are, Snapple.
>>26763488Fuck you. I'm humble.I'm the MOST humble.
You consume the dragon's wing as you run. It's not the most filling of meals, but it's something.>you gain 5 hp (50/81)>you gain 3 mana (3/58)>you gain 2 EXP (13)You race back to the wreckage post haste. You skid to a halt at the edge of the tree line.Lucifer is standing in front of 7 other angels that seem to have survived a trip inside the airship. Opposite them, adjacent to the wreckage, are your friends - Auriel, Ila, Adavan, and, to your relief, Flint. You note pinkish skin on his right hand - freshly healed. He looks drained, too.Both sides look exhausted. Auriel is staring Lucifer down. Lucifer's gaze flicks between her and Adavan. The lich is poised with another magical attack primed and ready, one hand in front of him, another pressed to his temple. Ila is lingering near the back of your group, sizing up each angel. You don't see Abigail anywhere. She must still be in the forest.Vonnegut stands in an odd space between the two groups, and he's sweating bullets. His fingers work madly on the edge of his hat.What do you do?>no one's noticed you. Keep still, you'd make a good surprise attack>attack immediately; focus on the angels>attack; focus on Lucifer>say something>try to speak with one of your allies>some other strategy
>>26763501Thats a lie and you know it
>>26763465I think if we snapped its neck it would be the quickest way to finish it off, same with this Lucifer guy, a quick necksnap will finish him off.
>>26763510Rape lucifer
>>26763510>attack; focus on Lucifernecksnap
>>26763510Keep still. Let's be the surprise.Either that, or blink behind him and snap his neck.
Btw why aren't we investing more in Summon trees?Shouldn't it give us the power to shape and design our own summons? Making our own Dark Angel armies when? Wispbros on their own are awesome though.
>>26763510watch for now. send Wisp-bro to find Abby and update her on what's going on...
>>26763510>>attack immediately; focus on the angelsEveryone knows that you clear the adds before the boss.

>>26763510eat Lucy's face
>>26763510>>no one's noticed you. Keep still, you'd make a good surprise attackThis is at least somewhat because I want to see how Vonnegut tries to get himself out of this mess, honestly.Also probably a pretty good tactical move to wait until Abigail returns as well, but still mostly about watching Vonnegut squirm a little more.
>>26763510Kill lucifer! Eat lucifer! Shit lucifer!
>>26763553R.I.P. wispbro
>>26763510considering Lucifer has no wish at all to work with us i say kill him then try diplo with whats left>after we CONSUME him

i think this is gonna need an official vote unless someone comes up with something originalwe're all over the place.
>>26763510keep quiet, but take out Lucifer first in surprise atack
>>26763510Wait for now. Set up a surprise attack and get a feel for the situation.
Rolled 63>>26763564I don't think we've said a word to him. Do we know this for certain?Oh, wait, there's the time we bound him with the spirit magic.
>>26763553R.I.P in peace
>>26763596we should do a sneak attack on the angels, gotta kill the minions before you go for the miniboss
>>26763608we were helping him against the golem and he tried to kill us first.
>>26763608Auriel said that he is pretty much Sandolphon's bitch and happy to be so
Rolled 31>>26763608HEAVY METUHLDW the lesser angels first. Adavan's magic seems to bypass lucifer's defenses, we have no idea how ours would work.
>>26763615our friends can handle the angels. plus if everyone is focused on us then our friends will get free shots in.
>>26763510I think we should attack Lucifer physically now. He is has half of his concentration on defending against metal attacks and the other on preparing his spell. Rekt him.
>>26763616No, he was trying to off us along with the golem. He attacked the golem first at the beginning of the fight.
>>26763614>rest in peace in peacethis is what you literally just said
>>26763596I'm for combining 1 and 5, trying to set up the best position for us to leap in.Also, if we can lurk in the shadows for a little bit more, we will have some more mana to work with.
>>26763608He seems to know that we prefer diplomacy.And spoke in such a way to take advantage of that so he could fuck us over.So screw 'em.
