You can feel a burning heat from your core. As the heat spreads you can feel every inch of your body strengthen. Your bones become less porous and brittle. Your spine straightens and new muscles and sinews embrace your swelling frame pulsating with strength. Your eyes begin to burn, but the feeling is pleasurable. The white surfaces of your eyes begin to tint a light shade of red and the flames leaping from their surface flicker more vigorously. Shards of your memory inform you that you are far from your potential and that you are no stronger then an ordinary man, but it is liberating from your previous pathetic physique. The euphoric metamorphosis tore you from reality, but as you regain your senses you notice Catharine has finally come to the realization of what has happened. Unravelling herself from her father’s corpse she scurries backward along the stone floor till she presses up against the wall, sitting and staring with wide eyed fright.

You can hear 15 feet away the fat lord panic, “Guards! Guards! Your Lord is in danger! Help! Help!”
With clarity and conviction Eric calms the chaos, “Quickly now Father. Take Lord Hornington to safety. I’ll deal with… him.”

“Cut off his head Eric! Destroy that beast! I’ll reward you handsomely.” Hornington’s voice shakes with excited terror.

You can finally hear the priest issue his own concerns, “What of the Sister?”

With a deep sigh Eric consoles the priest, “I’m sorry father, but she’ll have to pay for her crime. Too much damage may have already been done already. But I will strike down this devil and save her soul.”

Pushing the Jarl’s body of yourself you raise yourself to your feet. You stand taller then you did before. Keeping a hand on the hilt of his sword, Eric watches your next movements closely. The priest and Hornington escape through a large wooden door beside the Alter.

Action?

Flee.

Poop everywhere. We will use our filth to spread disease and combat the forces of good. Vile sickness will grow without our supervision and we can continue other evil deeds.

>>6196629

This.

Flee and bring him to where you dropped the bag of silver, ask them to aid you in slowing him down. He will not (as a paladin) be able to righteously unleash judgement upon them. Use this to your advantage and strike when the moment presents itself.

>>6196629
>>6196653
Turning your back on Eric you face the door to see several armored men with halberds rushing up the stone stairs toward the church.

Having sent the summon to Kelgris though (very end of last time) his giant frame drops down in front of church door. You think you hear his knees snap but he quickly bellow out his war cry, "My life for my Lord!" Swinging his sword down it easily pulverizes the first man's head through his helmet. The other men are stopped in their tracks before him. One thrusts his halberd into Kelgris abdomen, but the man does not falter, and because the man is stuck so close Kelgris pierces his sword through his neck, dropping him. Then pulling the halberd from his stomach he continues flailing it before him keeping the mob at bay. You can hear the panic and screams of the general population outside.

There will be no escape.

Duel Rules: As usual general consensus rules. Keep it smart and descriptive. Impossible feats will get you injured and killed.

>>6196752

Go for the halberd that was dropped by the closest dead man.

>>6196752
Is Catherine still at hand?

Grab her and use her as a shield...then hurl her at the paladin.

Bet he wouldn't see that coming.

>>6196791
>>6196816
beide sind gut

>>6196791
From the one man's dead hands you pry loose his halberd.

"My Lord! I will hold the door with all my worth!"

You can hear foot steps echo from within the church, Eric is approaching fast.

You feel a sudden shove from Kelgris as a thunderous roar pierces the night sky. A cloud of red mist erupts from Kelgis Shoulder. Standing at the bottom of the stairs is a kneeling militia man with one of those wooden sticks. He is filling it with something and pushing it inside with another metal pole. Inside the Church Kelgris slams the doors behind you as more thunderous blasts are heard outside.

"Are you ready to meet your end now, Devil?" Eric stands about 10 feet away with sword drawn and pointed.

>>6196849

Feint a stab with the halberd and see if he takes the bait. If he does, then stab for his armpit where he wears no armor and watch as he bleeds out. If he doesn't, slowly begin to circle away and wait for him to attack first anyway.

>>6196849

Break the haft of the halberd in two. I now have an axe and a wooden spear which may also parry.

>>6196849
Let him come to me. A polearm is at an advantage against a sword. Don't even respond to the guy; don't give him a handle.

>>6196816
She is off to the side, now cowering behind some wooden benches and hiding.

Stab that sexhaver

>>6196874
We gotta use her in some way. Paladin or not, he's not going to want to go through her to get to us, and we may get another minion out of her. Kelgris seems doomed, a pity.

>>6196867

Bad idea for now, maybe if we had knocked him down first.

>>6196872
This

>>6196866
>>6196872
You lower the axe and wait for Eric to charge. He simply stares at you. "This world doesn't belong to you anymore. Everything you stood for and what stood by you is no longer here. Why come back now?"

You notice his left hand cradling a bright star charm. To your eyes you can see it glow with white light. What is he up to?

>>6196918

Very well... Just don't get any ideas about using the haft to block... Lest it be hacked in two and the followthrough cuts through our chest...

Now would be a good idea to grab Catharine as a human shield....

Scoff at the paladin for saving nobleman trash while he leaves his own flesh and blood - Catherine - in what could easily be danger.

>>6196950

Yes... If but a touch of his hand causes a burning sensation, then a spell would be brutal.

Catharine as a human shield.

And none of that mystical "oh it will just pass through her because she has done no evil..." She's tainted with murder.

>>6196950

Now would be an even better idea to stab Catherine in the heart and use her a sacrifice to perform a Soul Obliteration that could potentially harm/kill Eric due to her being of the same blood as him.

Catherine's been weak to us before. Tell her that he doesn't plan to "punish" her, he plans to kill her. Why else save Hinterport and leave her with what he calls a being of evil?

>>6196950
Hefting the halberd at Eric with one hand you raise your other to Catharine and beckon her to come. She stands up confused and looks between you and Eric.

"Catharine get behind me. You can still atone for what you've done. I'm sure lord Hornington will forgive you, and so too will father if you do."

>>6196979

Ooo... that's dark. I like it. Let's do this.

>>6196979
THIS

>>6196916
Indeed.
For fight: Play it smart. We've got range on him. Strike at openings, bide time until-
The girl: As the fight goes slowly work our way toward her so as not to make our intent obvious. Once close enough, grab her and hold as a human shield. Barter for safe passage. If the paladin cuts her down rather than let us go, that should contribute to the evil in the world. If safe passage works, once in the clear, take the girl with us, don't kill her- she has promise for further corruption if we can break her in properly.
Kelgris: If we can swing passage, see if we can get him treated if still alive, if not have the body brought with. Perhaps we can reward him with unlife as power grows.

>>6196979

This! A THOUSAND TIMES!

>>6196985
"Atone? You've done nothing wrong. You tried to stop a man from killing another, and he merely reaped what he sowed. Your brother would have you as obedient cattle and nothing more."

>>6196985

So says the "righteous" paladin who only moments ago said “I’m sorry father, but she’ll have to pay for her crime."

Hypocritical lies! Catharine! Come to me, he cannot harm you while you are near me.

>>6197008
This and then this
>>6196979

Greatest combo.

>>6197004
This too.
If we can corrupt her to our side more fully now, that could work out better than a shield

>>6197008
>>6197004
Her eyes seem more frightened of Eric then of you and she climbs over the bleachers toward you.

Surprisingly Eric's voice does not falter, "I see. So that is how it will be then. Catharine, you may be my sister, but we are all children of Valtir except...him. This is treason."

>>6197002
>>6196998
>>6196988
>>6196979
Human shield or kill /tg/?

We should avoid killing her. Get her to our side, use her defensively, explain it in terms of exploiting weakness - the only thing that matters is winning, and he forced our hand.

>>6197050
I vote for sexual companion

>>6197050

KILL THE BITCH!

SOUL OBLIT!

LAFF.

Use Catherine as a shield while whispering dark promises of us being her only salvation. He might not strike her now, but surely he will do terrible things to her once he has dispatched us. The penalty for murder and kinslaying is first tearing parts that they deem "evil" from your soul, then death. Come with us, help us, and she can be spared that fate. Indeed, not only be safe but be blessed as well. Free to do what she wants without any overzealous brothers or fathers to try and make her bow to their will.

>>6197050

Human shield, keep shiving her as a backup

>>6197050

A shield for now. I want to understand the nature of that charm... If he wastes it on Catharine, then we will have dodged a bullet...

Keep her, express (false) concern for Kelgris.

We'll need to ease her into evil, after all, and even evil can value a useful servant, even if there's no actual compassion.

>>6197056
>>6197068

Yeah, but how does this solve our problem with Eric?

We can't leave till he is dead and she is now just... deadweight.

Best course of action is to sacrifice her and kill Eric through it.

>>6197083

FOOL we have no idea what that charm does. It could be an offensive attack

OR

It could defend him from Soul Obliteration.

Be more prudent and think intelligently about your situation!

>>6197083
Using her as a shield makes Eric fight as a handicap. He feels empathy, we do not. Makes the fight easier, gives us a minion. We can pass it off as an object lesson in the necessity of knowing and grasping the weaknesses of those who would force their will upon you or destroy you.

Feign preparing to kill Catherine. When the paladin moves forward to save her, stab him.

>>6197096

I am, if she is a priestess of the same god AND the same blood then by the standard of any sacrifice ever then we should be able to bypass that protection and do no harm to ourselves. At worse, it blows the idol in his hand up and let's us kill him more easily.

>>6197102

yes

>>6197050
Heh. False Human shield.
When she gets close enough, grab her and pull a hand behind her threatening to kill her.. but press the hilt of the dagger into her hand behind her back.
Whisper: You know what you must do to escape him..

Allow her to 'escape' back to her brother..
The best backstabs come from those you love.

>>6197112

And how would you know that? Are you OP?

>>6197121

>>6197121
>>6197121
>>6197121
>>6197121
>>6197121
>>6197121
>>6197121
THIS A THOUSAND TIMES THIS

>>6197121
This! This! Yes!

>>6197121

I like this style...

>>6197123

How would I know she is worships the same god and is a blood relative? OP said so.

Also, using this as a reason to bypass normal protection rites has almost always been acceptable.

>>6197077
>>6197068
>>6197062
>>6197056
>>6197059
With halberd still hefted at Eric you wrap one arm around Catharine's shoulder and draw her close. Copping a feel while you're at it. You are pretty evil as you are sly after all.

Eric remains stoic as before except now he has lowered his sword and raised the charm to point it at you. Your eyes burn for but a moment, but everything goes dark quickly.

Eric's calm voice finally shatters, "CATHARINE!!"

A silky white hand removes itself from in front of your eyes.

"Ban-banishing light. An old lyric of Valtir's." Cathrine sounds like someone who has signed herself away, with her eyes downcast.

You can see the charm still pulsate with a little holy light. He brings his left hand still with charm in hand to the hilt held now in both hands and charges with sword held low.

>>6197121
THIS THIS THIS

Every evil person needs a mistress

>>6197121

THIS! Let her be the paladin's undoing!

>>6197138

Fail... Didn't incorporate this >>6197121

>>6197138
Wait for him to get close, spit in his eyes, impale him.

>Copping a feel while you're at it.
See pic.

I like where this thread is going...

Fuck it... Stab Catharine. Imbibe sacrificial power of her death. Cast Soul Obliteration and end thread.

>>6197186

Stop trying to kill our minion!

>>6197186

>>6197138
Charge against a halberd should go poorly, once we let Catharine escape our grasp, with the dagger hidden behind her, freeing us to use two hands as well while our freshly corrupted pretty makes her way around him..

What's more evil then injecting an innocent with our vile seed.

>>6197204
>>6197208

You already heard OP, she's now just a submissive wretch in the face of holy light. But not submissive to our cause...

Stab the whore, cast Soul Obliteration. Rape paladin. Walk down the street and fuck that barmaid from the tavern.

>>6197225
She believes us to be holy

Personally I think we should keep trying to be manipulative since it's worked so well.

Obviously if their god destroyed our kind, he in his wisdom might of brought us back from the darkness to cleanse what has become a world he has grown to hate. Lets make sure the paladin knows this, the girl knows this.

>>6197159
>>6197121
>>6197121
You remove your hand from her bosom and place the dagger in her hand and whisper in her ear, “You will have to make the decision to be free or not Catharine.”

You thrust forward one handed with the halberd. But with only one hand Eric has more strength to force the axe away. Needing both hands you push Catharine away to bring the shaft to block. You make it in time but Eric's sword embeds deep into the wooden shaft. You both stand in a deadlock, you trying to keep Eric at bay while he tries to split your heft in two. You spit at him and hit him in the forehead. He seems to be concentrating on you too much to notice such trivial play however.

>>6197225
You seem to have misunderstood the situation entirely good sir.

>>6197138
Pass the dagger to Catherine, allow her to "escape" as you level the halberd to negatew the paladin's charge.

Catherine returns to her brother's side, crying about what we made her do before breaking down into a sob. The paladin places himself between us and her. We attack, he defends, and Catherine makes her move.

Let's always aim to corrupt as much as we destroy. Let us defend her as we fight off this pest and keep her afterward, if he should live he will do so knowing his failure.

>>6197225

She is more useful alive then as a one shot that MIGHT NOT WORK. This is a paladin. A god might protect his soul, thus denying us our one shot victory. This is supposed to be a challenge, not a "Kill wench, purge brother, have beer"

>>6197254
oh shit, here it comes guys

>>6197254
Keep him out of reach with the halberd. Take a few conservative shots at him while still remaining cautious. Catherine needs some time to get into position and we need to keep his attention. Also, if he fucks with that charm again try to knock it out of his hands.

First off hold the Halberd in a defensive stance. If the Paladin wants to charge, he's going to charge into the blade and kill himself. Bravo Paladin, so this forces him to take a defensive stance also.

Control of the situation cannot be maintained by relying upon Catharine as a human shield, because the Paladin has charged. Clearly with intent to strike. And that would mean cleaving through Catharine, so she has proved as a useless deterrent.

But with a dagger snuck in her hand and having her cast aside, she might prove herself as a suitable assassin.

Meanwhile we keep the Paladin's attention by questioning his faith ala what >>6197250 said.
Once Catharine is in position, we feign an attack, and let Catharine stab the shit out of his neck from behind. Severing the spine and landing him on the ground like a fish on dry land.

There.

Once he's dead, try to corrupt that charm of his.

>>6197254

Hold him at bay! Do not let him break out haft. Try kicking his legs out from under him! That close, it would not be hard, and he is concentrating on our head, not our feet!

When and if she stabs eric, we should shadow spike him and then pull her in for a kiss.

Catharine lays sprawled out on the floor for a moment, she looks back at your struggling with Eric your halberd shaft and his sword sway back and forth and ebb and flow in a match of strength. She scurries along the floor and reaches for the dagger she dropped in the fall and stands holding the dagger clasped in both hands. She looks up and down and at both you and Eric. Is she having doubts? Maybe she is looking for an opening?

You can hear your helberd shaft start to crack.

What do you do?

After we're done with this paladin, get Kelgris. If he's in any shape to keep going, we go after Lord Hornington and let Catharine do with him as she will. Let HIM learn a lesson in being powerless before someone's self-centeredness.

>>6197335

Call out to Catherine, mustering every ounce of actor you possess.

"Catherine! Please! I don't want to die!"

>>6197335

Knee to the groin.

Yes I'm serious...

He won't expect that, Paladins fight with "honour" etc.

Once she strikes we must strike him for all we are worth. Better to keep his focus on us than her. Whether to guard against him attacking her, or against him leaving too many pointed last words.

>>6197335
Tell her, while this God of hers failed to protect her from her father, she found shelter in our care. Watch her stab her brother. Move on with life.

>>6197346
Paladins fight with honor, but that doesn't mean they are unaware of obvious cheap trickery.

Let him hurt us a bit to convince Catharine to come to our aid

>>6197353

You sound like a fucking Paladin...

>>6197363
A live minion is better then a dead minion

>>6197346
We already pulled that on Kelgris and he nearly broke our foot. If Kelgris had balls of STEEL, this paladin must have balls of RIGHTEOUS STEEL

>>6197360

Then he has to back off to defend against the attack none the less... Either that or lose a nut...

>>6197373

Yeah, but we were an old cripple fag then...

>>6197335
"You, you claim to do good and bring justice. You stayed the hand of that pompus lord when he struck me, why did you not do the same for me now? You could have stopped this, but you merely watched as he beat me and fell on my dagger. I am no villan, I was trying to give your sister the freedom she wanted, the freedom you deny her because of your loyalty to a corrupt man. You are the monster eric."

>>6197363
Honestly I'm more concerned about him saying anything that might make her corruption falter.
Better to blast him hard and fast as soon as he's betrayed.

>>6197356
With
>>6197361

>>6197335
Force him backwards towards her, give her a clear opportunity to strike. She may be more likely to choose a favorable action if we force the decision sooner.

If she does strike him, be ready to move in with a killing blow.

>>6197381

You should also hit out with "I am your father."

>>6197381
This

And then:
>>6197388
That.

>>6197386
Hm- Worked for Palpy on Annie.

Bah. Twist to the side hard, stepping out of the way, let go of the bottom end of the halbred, letting the blade slide off or break in half, use the top half to attack him with a quick strike while he is offbalance.

Don't say anything, but give a quick reassuring and "lovingly" manipulative glance at our little she-devil.

>>6197381
"And you would condemn your own kin to death, for wanting nothing more then to feel safe."

>>6197356
>>6197381
>>6197386
>>6197361
>>6197250
>>6197311
>>6197319
>>6197346

"Valtir wont save you tonight paladin. I'm sure you can tell, his star is fading in the night sky. He has abandoned you."

"The world has forgotten you devil! You are so proud it will be your downfall! I bet you think people feared you for what you are. Laughable. Valtir will always shine brighter then you can cover the world in darkness."

You try to kick out Eric's legs but he steps backwards. Not wanting to lose your balance and your weapon stuck with his you are forced to move forward as well. Then Eric wrenches heavily on the shaft and tears it from your hand, but so too along with his sword. He connects a plate fisted punch into your jaw. You stumble back from the blow. Catharine is behind you now. Eric has now brought both hands together and is raising them to smash down on your head.

Whisper to the Paladin that if he does not let us go we will devour Catherine's soul.

No afterlife.

No forgiveness.

Endless suffering.

>>6197335

Your sister is not an object. She is a woman. A beautiful human with a bright future ahead of her. And yet you choose to deny her of her freedom. The freedom she needs to peruse her own happiness. Even if you kill me, you can never undo what you've done for your sister. You've condemned her to death, or maybe worse.

I swear to God, Catherine better kill this starnigger.

>>6197449
This. Right now.

>>6197430
Jab in the eye, then headbutt to the chin.

>>6197449
And at the first sign of wavering.
>>6197470

How did you fags so royally fuck our shit up after I went to sleep on tuesday?

>>6197430

Interesting Paladin. Would you crush my head with your steely hands and then do the same to your sister as well? Listen to the wet cracking as her skull implodes with each strike?

I tried to save her Paladin. I tried to give her freedom away from this. You backed her into a corner, and for what? So you could slowly kill her? And for what? Glory? Righteousness?

Men like you are the reason why there is evil in this world...

>>6197430
Try to avoid the brunt of the blow and grab him, forcing him towards Catherine into a vulnerable position. Look into her eyes intently as you do so, a silent signal of "you know what you must do".

>>6197430
"Go ahead, kill me. I'll gladly take the place of an innocent person. C'mon, DO IT. This is the kind of bloodthirst you mask as righteousness in the name of your pathetic god. Come now killer... PALADIN. Show me the evil you call divine judgement. CATHERINE, ESCAPE WHILE YOU CAN!"

>>6197499

DO THIS NOW, CATHERINE KILLS HIM!!!

I think we can take him out with a simple spell, "Heat metal" cast on his armor.

Duck away, make the paladin crush his own sister's head with his mailed fists. She is standing right behind you after all.

The evil will be GLORIOUS.

>>6197522
>facepalm.jpg
because you aren't worth actually posting it

>>6197499

>>6197537

It is not glorious unless it is caused by OUR HANDS!

That fool would simply miss and kill his sister. Honest, horrible mistake that would wretch his mind for years to come.

Funny, but not evil

>>6197493
>>6197470
>>6197449
Eric's final blow is too reckless, you are more resilient then a punch to the jaw. You bring up your hands to his eyes and jab at them with your thumbs. His hands break from their fists and grab onto your before you can burrow any deeper and gouge them out. You can feel the same burning from before, it still hurts but it is not enough to slow you down. Having prepared for him to grab your hands you headbutt him in the nose and he falls backwards bringing you down ontop of him. With hands sprawled above his head you raise your own fists to pay him back in kind.

"Your sister is not an object. She is a woman." You slam your right fist onto his face, smashing it left into the stone floor. "A beautiful human with a bright future ahead of her. And yet you choose to deny her of her freedom." As he brings his face back up you punch with your left smashing it right. "The freedom she needs to peruse her own happiness. Even if you kill me, you can never undo what you've done for your sister. You've condemned her to death, or maybe worse." You continue smashing him in the face his pretty boy face that had pissed you off so much before swelling and bleeding. But before you can deliver more blows to finish him off his whole body begins to glow with radiant light.

>>6197559
>implying a paladin killing his sister isn't evil

>>6197499
This, though rephrase last line more along the lines of 'Men like you are the real reason for what is wrong in this world...'

>>6197566

Oh great, the faggot went FINALBOSS on us.

This what you fuckers get for not listening to me earlier.

>>6197566

Wrest the charm away from his body.

Then once he's powerless. Take a wee on him.

If she attacks him after all and it does even as much as to simply distract him, grab his sword and run him through with it.

>>6197566

Damn it. Whenever heroes start glowing, things never go well for the evil guys.

I'm thinking its human shield time.

>>6197566
quickly jump up and start charging up soul obliterate, better not miss!

>>6197586
Afterward we could keep at as a relic.

>>6197566

GET OFF HIM! Take cover! He's gonna go holy nova!

>>6197566
Quickly get off of him, or zombify him. I do want to be in the way when he releases his little trump card.

>>6197600

Use his own blade against him.

As non evil as it is we only seem to get evil power from evil we trick other people into doing. Because when we busted out some murder we got -nothing- but weaker for it.

This means with her as a LIVING and WILLING worker for us, the more we twist her and teach her to do what she WANTS not what is right, the more power she will feed us.

Stop suggesting we kill the girl, and lets USE the damn girl.

Of course we'd be lying, but talk to her as we hold him off. Say from the first moment we loved her, and could not stand the thought of some fat pig-man rutting her for the rest of her days against her will.

She should be free, and she knows this.

Seriously who the fuck does this guy think he is???

>>6197611
>>6197586
Terrible fucking idea. A blackguard using a paladin avenger? what are you, stupid?

>>6197623
this!

>>6197631

This isn't D&D faggot...

>>6197566
Reach into his mouth and shove fingers through the back of his throat into his brain stem. He needs to die before he can do anything with that charm.

Just stand up, stamp on his face, and use what's left of our halberd on what's left of his face.

No charging seqence need apply.

>>6197623
I think the point is that lolmurder isn't exactly evil.
Causing extreme emotions - such as a nobleman's rage at your defiling of his daughter, or a woman's despair as you kill her after promising her so many things and giving her so much hope...
That is what empowers you.

>>6197566
Glance at catherine for a moment: "I'm sorry, I didn't want it to come to this. I understand if you won't forgive me for what I'm about to do... But I believe you should be free to do whatever you want, this is your life. You choose; should I kill him, or let him murder both of us? I believe you will make the right choice."

>>6197566
Hold on to him tightly, and roll over now!
It might seem to put him in a better position, but it will leave him open to attack from his sister. Prepare Soul Obliteration, but hold off on it until the last moment, better for us if she stabs him first, both tactically and in terms of corruption and general evil fun.

>>6197623

Seconded

>>6197650
This isn't bad.

Check what his sister is doing since she is right behind us.

Is it to late to pretend we were sent by Valtir cause we could say something like
"The Valtir has abandoned you devil! You are so proud he has called for your downfall! I bet you think people respect you for what you are. Laughable. As his star fades Valtir shines brighter within me." (appropriating Eric's last speech)

Leap off, find either half of our broken weapon on the ground, turn and stab, even if we can't find a weapon get some distance between us.

>>6197626

Guys, hold back on the posts. When a thread reachs autosage, the OP stops rather than start a new thread.

>>6197687

yeah... he's faggy like that...

So OP hurry up and explain this divine light bullcrap.

Raising your right arm you focus your inner burning core into it. You watch as black smokey tendrils weaves over and under your arm. You then reach your hand over his forehead and prepare to impale him. But for some reason your hand stops an inch before it reaches his skin. You cannot force you hand any closer. A sudden force throws you from Eric's body as you lift into the air and land on and break one of the wooden benches. When you raise to your feet Eric is standing up once again. He places his hands onto his bloody face and the swelling goes away and the caked blood vanishes to reveal his face once again.

"I'll gladly give up my life for this power to see you undone. The Hinter family and its long bloodline may end with me and my sister now. A thousand years spent to bring me to end you a small price to pay to make evil gone forever." Eric's voice resonates with something else besides his own.

You watch as Catharine leaps and crawls over the wooden benches on the other side of the isle and gets into position. You need to make a plan to hold and distract him long enough.

Your arm still swells with the dark arts you drew. It may be your only way to cancel out his holy aura. But how to use it right? You will only have one chance.

>>6197698
It's early, I'll go till 1pm pacific even if it makes another thread.

>>6197701
Grab the arm with the holy charm with your arm that glows with an unholy power.

Cancel out his light with your evil.

>>6197711
1 am pacific?

>>6197666

holy.
shit.

>>6197701
Tell me, can we channel the dark arts into a weapon or shield? Barring that, we should go to catherine, hold her beside us and advance toward him(all the while telling catherine she should not be afraid of living)

>>6197701

Well, we obviously can't take Starboy McHolypants head on. Monologuing also seems to have lost most of its effectiveness.

So, with frontal assault and taunting out of the picture, our only evil option left is to play dirty and cheat like no tomorrow.

>>6197732
Yes, that is what I meant.

>>6197737
This is create your own spell time.

>>6197737
No.
Catherine's in position to backstab her own brother.
We just need him distracted and exposed.

>>6197737

Catherine! Believe in me who believes in you!

And then Catherine gains spiral power.

>>6197701

Use the dark energies to blast the roof. Drop a half tonne of stone and timber on his head.

If anything it will slow him down.

WE MAKE A SUIT OF SOLID BLACK ARMOR!

Cut him off from his god! Use your pure evil to shatter the bonds between them. Let this paladin feel ultimate despair, as he feels the loving touch of his god flicker and fade into oblivion! It may only last for a few moments, but it will be more than enough to gain the upper hand and crush him!

Shatter his earthly links, engulf his hope in darkness, and let him wallow in despair for a moment before snuffing the candle flame that is his life.

>>6197774

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

if we're powerful enough, create a spell that blocks all outside interference outside of a couple blocks of distance. Perfect for reducing the influence of powers-that-be!

>>6197701
He seems of very strong resolve, and to be a very good paladin. I'd use the power We've summoned to twist and empower the dagger our helper is wielding to help her get through that aura and his armor.

The fact that the dagger had just taken part in some very dark murder might help it as well. Use whatever is left without draining too much to ready an aura to protect us if she takes too long, then lets put our dark faith in her to "do the right thing" and stand there as the open target.

writequest > drawquest

>>6197497
Seconded.

I had a great plan, but before I could post it my internets went fubar.

Now we'll have to start in another town.

>>6197748

Possess the Paladin.

Make him walk out and slaughter the guards outside. Spread fear and confusion that their holy deity has forsaken the land.

He is all shiney afterall and representing the gods...

Sooo... Yeah, Just like that.

Thats the spell I create. Possession.

>>6197785

Zone of Secularity.

"Come, paladin! If so righteous you truly be, then face with with your own strength, not some borrowed might!"

>>6197793
So, what? This is ten times more fun than SUBTLE SUBTLE SUBTLE.

>>6197783
>>6197785
Indeed, if this is the ilk of the foes we must face, we must crush their light and negate their powers.

>>6197801
even if we don't do it now we must do it at some point if only for that name

>>6197783
>>6197785

>>6197788

>>6197809

agreed.

Corrupt Holy will be the spell of choice here.

>>6197788
Something like this, or the zone. Or both. Make the zone then empower the dagger. Whatever.

OR Make the zone to block the power he is getting/ a dark cloud to block out the star in the sky! Then convince him that his god has given up on him and taken his powers away for standing against you!

CUT HIM OFF FROM HIS GOD

MAKE HIM FEEL TRUE DESPAIR

LAND THE FINAL BLOW

>>6197826

YES! This will also let Catharine see that God has abandoned her brother for being EVIL! Then she will murder him!

More Evil to be had!

Tell me, how close are we to Jarl's lifeless body?

ZONE OF SECULARITY!

>>6197826
Ooo.. I like the sound of that naming.
Corrupt Holy. Taint his charm as we have his sister.

>>6197846

Undead get pwned by Paladins you should know that....

rolled 49 = 49

>>6197788
This.

>>6197861
Not planning for undead. Something better is in store.

>>6197788
This, but slowly walk backwards while doing it. Fake being terrified.

Block his power from getting into the church, demoralize him. Let sister stab him as a display of power.

Or pull a joker and drop a weapon in the middle of the room and say something like "Only have one opening today for the right hand of your gods avatar on this world! You two disscuss who wants it!"

*sigh* Here it is.

This world is DEVOID of evil, it'll take some baby steps, and the townfolk killing an innocent (whether they know it or not) is very important. It'll taint them just enough.

Also tainting the common folk is far more important than going for nobles. Making a noble subjugate his people will may seem like a quick way to blanket some evil, but it could have the opposite effect. Doing so would give evil a figurehead, something for the common people to rally against for the common GOOD. It's what probably caused the downfall before. Evil had a face, a form. There was a group to point to and say "Destroy and become a hero!"

We must avoid this at all costs. We must keep the image of a lowly beggar. Our citadel will not be a bastion of hell on earth, it will be a retreat to get away to really lay low and plan long term. Our minions will not be ravening beasts and vicious men, they will be deceit, distrust, malicious greed, and murder.

This is how we will seize the world. This is how we will seize the souls of men. This is how we will win.

Ok, now to survive this so we can continue in that vain.

Obviously we can not directly effect this paladin. Use a small fraction of our power to create an illusion of dark armor surrounding us. This is a distraction. The bulk of our power will be going to boosting the girl's feeling of hate toward her brother for trying to contain her, and her physical prowess. She will then get behind her brother and drive the dagger into the base of his skull.

>>6197871
Why don't you tell us all your idea instead of sounding like a fucking idiot?

>>6197885

Too late.

Nobody cares.

STFU

rolled 86 = 86

>>6197885
Thank you for being a well spoken man.

>>6197788
Lol. Great evil minds think alike.

>>6197885
OR!

USE AN ILLUSION TO MAKE US LOOK LIKE THE PALADIN, AND THE PALADIN LOOK LIKE US!

OPEN THE CHURCH DOORS!

PEOPLE OF THE TOWN RUN IN AND MURDER HIM, THINKING HE IS US!

>>6197801
This time, it it is not from your memories you rely upon. Now is not time to rely on someone who feel to such holy magic as this. But for what you have in mind you need more power. You pull deep within yourself, all the strength you can muster. Your breaths become clouds of white as the air becomes cold around you. The very stones begin to frost over and the wooden benches frostbit that they shatter on their own accord. Eric begins to take his strides toward you his holy aura getting closer and closer. Your frost and darkness mesh with his own aura. Then you gather up all the dark smokey magic into your palm and it burns black, no light can escape from it. You then reach your hand holding the flame up above you head to the heavens with an open palm. With a single pulsar of black light a lightless beam of dark energy erupts upwards shattering the stone roof above you bringing small stones and woods around you. The light outside becomes even more dark and forbidding.

"You missed Devil. Now it is your end."

"No Paladin. I did not miss."

"Hmmm?"

"I was aiming for the eye of your god."

There are no stars or moon shining above Hinterport.

Eric's eyes widen briefly as his holy aura fades. You can hear the sound of metal thudding into flesh. Blood erupts from his mouth as he coughs violently. He collapses to his knees then his face lies down on the frost covered stone floor. A dagger sticking out of the base of his spine on the neck.

Catharine is shaking. You are laughing.

>>6197871
If we do grab Jarl's body, run our arm through the corpse, and make it our new weapon. We can add Eric's body later.

Use the energy we summoned to empower Catherine's blade, allowing it to slice through his armor and divine favor with greater speed and power.

A skill that will come in handy as we go forth, there's sure to be more Paladins to deal with eventually, being able to make our weapons much more lethal agaisnt them will be of paramount importance.

Guys. If your post is more than five minutes after his post, he probably won't acknowledge your post. So stop suggesting things.

SHE IS NOW TRULY OUR BRIDE!

>>6197910
YES.

rolled 99 = 99

>>6197910
Comfort her, we need stable minions and supporters not lunatics and psychopaths.
Also, we need a way to gtfo without getting us both hung for crimes against the church.

>>6197910
>>6197911
Better yet, lets do it now.

>>6197910
Okay, grab Catherine and Kelgris and get the fuck out of here.

>>6197910

Quickly snatch Catharine and pluck the dagger out of the Paladin (might be a nice relic for later.) head towards the wooden door that the Priest used for escape.
Leave Kelgris to his fate, if he escapes, then Bravo for him!

Escape this place!

>>6197910
Tear out his heart, devour it.

>>6197910
So we shot a beam of evil into the face of a holy god or did we just create a blanket of evil to block the gods sight?

Embrace her, comfort her, contiinue guiding her towards EVIL

rolled 83 = 83

>>6197962
All deeds for the greater depravity.

take the paladins fucking charm, we could corrupt it for later use

>>6197910
Awesome.

>>6197924
This

>>6197971
>>6197962
>>6197955


All of this.

QUICKLY NOW!

COMFORT HER, LET THE BRAIN WASHING BEGIN

Grab Catherine, call for Kelgrin, and snatch up that dagger. A blade that's spilled blood at the hands of an innocent, AND has spilled the blood of a rather devout paladin? That's worth holding on to.

NOW RUN.

DON'T FORGET THE PALADINS HOLY SYMBOL

Tear open Cath's shirt and tell her to play along. Proceede to beat the fuck out of yourself and take the dagger.

Unbuckle the paladin's pants, pull them around his knees. Look torn apart and mad.

The story you tell is this. HE beat you sensless, and then moved to rape his own sister, thinking you were out cold. You stabbed the bastard in the back before he could finish the deed. All this was planned by the insane paladin using their gods powers for evil in secret.

ha... Haha... Hahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Even the power of a god is no able to pierce our corrupt magic! Even the holiest of warriors becomes weak at the knees as we engulf the stars!

>>6197910
Awesome implementation.

Now we quickly secure our hold on Catherine. She has just committed irrevocable evil. Kill all witnesses, then have her corroborate a story of her brother going mad and killing everyone.

Now it's time to retreate to a quiet corner of town and think. We have two minions now, one who could become our right hand (Catherine), what next?

>>6198002

Catharine wouldn't agree to such a lie...

At least not yet...

>>6197962
This.

Then chuck the paladin's body at the guards outside.
'Look to the skies you fools! Look an know my power!'
Hopefully to send them scattering while you check on Kelgris.

>>6198006

Read the thread... You missed a lot that fucks up your little plan.....

>>6198002
nice thinking but it's too far fetched, besides catharine is too fragile right now

>>6198029
They have GUNS and we are out of juice, I think lying and using the fact that the star is blotted out of the sky right now is key.

Make sure she knows all this pain she feels now will be returned in the form of bliss and power ten fold. Tell her to play along with whatever you must say or do to survive so the world can return to the way it's meant to be.

>>6197955
>>6197924

>>6197954
You are weak on your knees for the moment. And you nearly keel over sideways having to brace you fall by catching yourself on a wall. Your breaths are heavy and strained. You should recover from the spells aftereffects soon. Before such a spell immobilized you for days. Even now you still feel quite alive. You call for Kelgris with your will as Catharine rushes over to support you with her shoulder.

Catharine speaks softly with a shaking voice, "Valtir wasn't supposed to be about any of this. Why does it have to be like this?"

You don't give her a response, you want your prize, so you grab her by the chin and kiss her deeply. You don't feel warmth from it, but you can sense the beginnings of evil, doubt and that is your pleasure. Kelgris does not come. What has happened to him?

Check on Kelgris, pursue the lord and priest? Or something else?

Don't forget the implied sex, when people say comfort her, they mean "comfort" her

rolled 38 = 38

>>6198029
NO.
We DONT need everyone to know we are evil. We are still weak, no matter how big you think we are.
We need to come up with something plausible or acceptable.

Oooooooo... I like the dagger relic idea.

To be more specific:

Use the massive amount of evil power gained from this act by twisting her soul irrevocably without harming her mind. The ex-priestess of our enemy wielding the blade that slew her brother, a powerful paladin, sounds like a winning combo.

Corrupt the power of the charm and consume it, rend both it and its owner to ash. Take dagger and sword, leave with girl.

If any others dare to stand in our way, end them.

In regards to the basic evil sin of lust, lets have us a maiden.

>>6198064
Grab the dagger and charm and pursue the others, send Catharine back to tend to kelgris and inform him we need his backup pronto.

>>6198064
Take the dagger and take the charm.

Leave the town. Kelgris is dead and you need to escape, fast.

>>6198064

Carry the paladin's body to a safe place so we can later corrupt it to become our champion.

>>6198064

Kelgris is a stalwart minion. We should see if there is a way to check up on him without risking ourselves.

Other then that, we must flee. That spell drained us.

>>6198064

Our vulnerable state cannot help Kelgris. His fate is his own. If possible tell him to surrender and accept prison as an alternative. We may be able to use him later in that regard, if not, then he will die.
Catharine and myself on the other hand shall pursue the priest and the lord. It would be wise to silence them.

>>6198064
Lord and priest. It's time to bend them to your defense or open up a can of easy kill.

Tell Cath this
"You have no idea what the skies wish. There is a day and a night. A darkness and a light. Night is not considered "Evil" but nature. A shadow is darkness, but not twisted. The world has become stagnate and you all suffer in the day time, the unrelenting light has led ALL to suffer just as you did with no will of your own."

>>6198094
Just to make sure.

>>6198064
Check on Kelgris, use lies/bravado and the lack of stars in the sky to dissuade attackers.
Move on to escape route taken by lord and priest, with Kelgris if possible.

Send out Catharine to check on Kelgris.

Chase down the priest and lord on our own.

Kill two birds with one stone, take the Paladin's blade with us.

>>6198107
second this but also remember the charm and dagger, also book it you are too weakened for much else.

I'm not comfortable with just the dagger, claim the sword as well.

Kelgris slammed the church doors shut behind you.
That sound was followed with GUNFIRE.
HE'S DEAD.

>>6198130

Also grab the charm and dagger, just to be sure.

The paladin's body isn't going anywhere.

>>6198122
>>6198107
>>6198104
>>6198092
>>6198088
Placing Catharine aside you strike over to the corpse of Eric. You see the holy symbol still clutched in his hand. You rip it from his pried fingers. To let out some steam you stomp his exposed head into the stone floor one last time with a loud wet thud. You then remove the dagger from the back of his neck. You then set your eyes on the door the lord and priest escaped behind. You here Catharine following behind you.

Lots of people with guns outside....

I'm thinking we should still GTFO.

KELGRIS IS DEAD!

Take Catherine, the dagger, and that charm. We can corrupt it hopefully. Run out a back door.

Spill our evil seed into Catharine's wet field

>>6198151
Follow them.

>>6198107
This, but try to recall Kelgris as well.
Yes, yes, take possible future relics along as well.
If Kelgris has fallen, make note to find out where the body is dumped.

This is bound to start auto-sage soon. Creating new thread.

>>6198151

Pursue the god damn lord and priest.

They are the only ones still alive who got a good look at our faces to know start up a manhunt.

This dagger.

It was used for we don't know what by the guy we stole it from, so there's the possibility it's already been used for evil in some form.

It was used in connection with a priestess killing her father.

It was used directly by the priestess to kill her brother.

We must bless it. Enchant it. Use it in ritual sacrifices. FEED ITS EVIL!

>>6198190
Soul Edge has to start somewhere, I suppose.

>>6198190
"Starless Night"

>>6198190
I really hope our crazy evil acts empowers items, I love making lore for weapons that get passed down through ages etc.

>>6198264
Black Star? Empty Star? Hollow Star?

Hollow Star sounds pretty good actually.

>>6198190
We will corrupt the dagger with the soon to be fouled energies of the charm. The power we will vest it with will in turn corrupt any who wield it.

Whats the new thread?
