I'd suggest that we should study about divination and locating objects/people in the future when we get a little better with magic (if at all).

But I do not really know what to do right now. Somebody suggested something in the last thread, hopefully they'll post again.

>>7430848
Continue practicing summoning. Have we been able to explore the castle?

>>7430848
*From previous thread*

If we can skip ahead a week or so, that would be nice. Take a look around the castle, try to keep sane, study summoning, pray they don't stop us.

> (quest changes somewhat halfway through)

ROCKS FALL YOU DIE

Plan is to create soulless mortal bodies via transmutation and then transfer our soul and Rhiannon's soul into them.

Also, make sure that one thing we can summon is a creature that emits pure sunlight. Practice that one with some appropriate protective gear first.

When our body and Rhiannon's body are ready to be inhabited, we take out everyone in the castle with our summon and then we and Rhiannon move our souls into our new bodies and head out.

>>7430938
You have not attempted to explore the castle. The mental strain of recent events has had a dampening effect on your curiosity. You could attempt to do so now, if you wish to do so.

>>7430953
You so wish. We can timeskip a little after exploring the castle- a few decisions will be required.

Gathering up your courage, you move to the door to the main chamber which the lord and Adrienne use when they come and go, an iron portal covered with intricate patterning. As you open it, you realize that it's extremely heavy- it seems to be a solid metal slab! You must be far stronger than you'd previously realized.

On the other side of the door is a large chamber, containing a series of large feasting tables and chairs to match. It looks like it has not been used in some time. A stone staircase leads upwards and seems to be the only way to go, so you take it.

Hundreds of steps later, you open a door to emerge into a luxuriously appointed hall. Moonlight streams through the windows to dapple the marble floors, and the scents of the outdoors are carried to your nose- and that too is much improved; it smells almost as though you are in the deep forest which you can see through the windows.

Cautiously, you move through the hall, quickly determining that the building is long unused except for the path between outside and the underground portion in which you reside. You move into the courtyard, and consider where to go. Most of the buildings, including the main keep, are in obvious ruin, and you are all but certain that they are uninhabited. One structure, however, has the glimmer of light inside it and you can make out the evidence of recent repairs on its roof. You believe that it would have been the guardhouse, although castle architecture is hardly one of your skills.

What do you do?

>>7431122
Go to guardhouse and peek in through the window(if there is one)

Where the hell did everyone go?

>>7431204
You creep forward, moving as silently as you can manage, and gaze through the window. It's easy enough to make out the forms of people inside, even though it becomes clear as you get closer that the light inside is being shed from a single small lamp. You can make out the forms of at least six people sleeping on bunks inside, and if there are more beds that you can't see there might be as many as ten.

>>7431341
Well, nothing we can really do. The Lord might get angry if we hurt them. Or interact with them in any way. Let's get back to our books. It's safe there.

>>7431372
You wait for a long minute, staring into the building. Those are living people, you can tell. Standing here in the relative stillness, the sound of their heartbeats inexplicably finds its way to your ears in spite of the impossibility of doing so. It makes your mouth water.

Enough. You turn and walk back to your main room. You have no intention of doing anything to displease your vampire lord, and while he has given you no instructions presumably those people are there for a reason, one which he would prefer you not interfere with. You will return to your books, where things are at least predictable.

You spend the remainder of the night studying the art of summoning, and then retire to your ornate sarcophagus to sleep throughout the unseen day.

***

What do you wish to do during the following day(s)?

>>7431530


I study. Can I summon anything now? When is my ex-boyfriend supposed to come slay this vampire?

RAIL

Masturbate furiously with a vegetable, make a sandwich with it. It'll be just like old times.

>>7431550
Just like old times indeed. EXCEPT WE DON'T HAVE ANY VEGETABLES! God, some people overlook the simplest things...

Study study study.

Lets just skip ahead a bit...

tonight, I walk into the woods and find ingredients to create another gelatinous cube. They shall be my pets and friends.

>>7431550
You don't actually have any vegetables down here. None of you eat anymore.

>>7431543
You spend the following several days surrounded with books, attempting to instill information on the arcane art of summoning into your head. Mostly, anyway... every day, you spend at least an hour or so providing amusement for Adrienne. You're getting better at holding in the screams, but it seems like each time you drain the life from a bound human in a mindless frenzy you spend longer afterward sobbing uncontrollably. That's probably a sign of mounting emotional damage.

You have your first spell picked out- a minor summoning rite which should bind a "minor being of the aether" to your will for a month's time, assuming that you don't screw up the spell. You're about ready to try it, but it requires a ritual circle made of silver which you're not sure how to get.

Your ex-boyfriend had promised that slaying the vampire lord and stopping his evil reign, then returning to spend more time with you, wouldn't require more than a month. It's been over three weeks. That said, your boyfriend was known to make promises of that nature and then apologize profusely for breaking them, citing the nefariousness of the forces opposing him and that he was sure you understood that a hero's work is never done.

>>7431657
We should just use a gelatinous cube in place of a coffin. Train it not to eat us, to opaque itself around us during the day, and to save us some blood from anything it kills.

>>7431667
To be fair, this is one of the kind of things that he gets sidetracked by, so I'd give it even odds that he manages it on schedule. Try to find some way to let out that stress. We need to be able to let it out somehow.

Try asking Rhiannon if she knows if there is any silver powder in the castle.

>>7431667
I think its important we summon this creature: it might let us communicate outside the castle, it could help us summon other, more powerful, things, and it could let us explore the castle in more depth.

As for how to get the ring, well, we could always ask. It probably wouldn't work, but if we've got no other option.

For the sake of an alternative, we could attempt to learn how to transmute metal and then get what we need thanks to that. That would take a great deal of time, though.

Hoping that she'll be willing to help, you ask Rhiannon if she knows where you could get some silver powder for a summoning ritual. She thinks for a moment, then shakes her head. There is none in the castle.

She raises a finger in a 'but' gesture, and you realize that the keep contained a mage's quarters at one time, and that one of the amenities there was a finely-appointed summoning circle. It may or may not still be intact, since the keep has fallen into serious disrepair.

If it doesn't work, you can ask your lord for the items. Rhiannon seems to think that he would be more than happy to provide you with whatever you ask, even bizarre things like some of the more esoteric arcane components. He would immediately figure out what you were up to, however.

>>7431820

The estate must have silverware.
And a GRINDER.
Or at least some rock/steel file/patience.

>>7431820
Set out to the mage lab, see if the circle is still intact. If it is even the slightest bit worn, don't use it. Last thing we need is some outside force breaking loose trying to kill us.

Aww, she meddled in magic and ended up getting herself into trouble.

Moral of the story? Stay in the fucking kitchen, he'll marry you soon enough. Now we have to go through the trouble of finding our way back.

>>7431872

I believe that is exactly what we need.
Summon Slaanesh.

>>7431820
Yeah, just find the mages place try to use its summoning circle. Leave when everyone else is busy.

Also, what ever happened to Rhiannon's brothers.

>>7431912
Forgot my fucking question mark.

>>7431911
What for? Marriage advice? Man, if you want advice on real love, not just fucking, it's Nurgle you want to talk to. Dude's the only Chaos God with a steady girlfriend.

rolled 2 = 2

Rolling for something. Don't mind me.

rolled 3 = 3

>>7431872
You make your way up into the keep. Its interior smells of mold and dust, but the floors seem solid enough. It takes you a while to find the summoning circle, but you eventually do so. The gems which adorned it in Rhiannon's memory have been pried loose, and the entire affair is coated thickly with dust. The basic review is good, though- the rune around the core of it seem intact to the best of your ability to determine so, and it does indeed have a perfect circle of silver, albeit a tarnished one. With a bit of work, you could use this for your spell.

>>7431912
Do you wish to ask Rhiannon about her brothers?

>>7431928
Is true, all of Khornes ex-girlfriends have said he's too controlling, and has issues in bed (premature ejaculation). I heard Tzeentch ignores his constantly and just plays vidya games. No one I've talked to has ever heard about what he's like in bed; there's a good chance he's still a virgin.

>>7432012
>Do you wish to ask Rhiannon about her brothers?
Maybe later, right now we're in the middle of something.

this quest has gone sucky :(

>>7432012
Well, let's get to work cleaning the circle.

>>7432042
You've gone sucky. What's the matter? Can't keep up with a quest that's about more than just having lesbian vampire sex?

>>7432021
Yep. I also heard Khorne hit one of his girls. Dude needs some counseling.

>>7432042
Your statement implies that it was good at some point. May I ask which point that was?

>>7432080


schlicking with vegetables

>>7432135
I knew it! Dude just wants more smut.

>>7432079
You spend the remainder of the night meticulously cleaning the circle and checking it against the diagrams in your available arcane tomes, ensuring to the best of your ability that it will work as you need it to. Just before the sun rises you retire back underground, avoiding the notice of the living people beginning to leave their quarters in the predawn dimness.

That evening, you gather up some candles and leave the main chamber before Adrienne has the chance to accost you for her sadistic games, then dash to your summoning circle. Everything is arranged as well as you can make it; it doesn't look very professional but to your untrained (yet obsessively learning) eye seems without flaw.

What type of being will you attempt to summon? The ritual specifies a "minor being of the aether", but you think that can refer to a wide variety of creatures.

>>7432182
Something that we can hind without too much trouble, preferably something that we could use to help in future rituals (we could send it out to find what we need and bring it back to us) or that could be used in combat.

Hell, anything that helps keep her sane sounds good.

>>7432182
Something that can make even the most soulless monster feel emotion.

We shall use it to break Adrienne, and then the master, to our will.

>>7432182
Pixie. Go for the one we freed earlier. If we didn't learn her name over the week or so we spent together, we can hopefully use our memory of her to act as a catalyst for drawing her attention.

>>7432182
Something we can talk to that would be moderately helpful. An air spirit might work.

>>7432229
Seconded. If nothing else, she can alert the boyfriend to our predicament.

>>7432229
Hmmm, she did work for a lich for a long time and knows about magic ingredients and such. And how to turn us into a lich. Imagine us, a lich/vampire. Might be enough to free us of the Lord's control.

> Hell, anything that helps keep her sane sounds good.


sane creatures dont' summon aether spirits just to see if it'll work...

SUMMON THE KRAKE^^h^h^h^h PIXIE

>>7432229 >>7432233
>>7432245 >>7432247
Considering for a moment, you decide to go for a pixie- the one that you knew for a week or so before you were turned into a vampire, specifically. Admittedly you betrayed it by attempting to trap it when it was trying to leave, but if this spell binds it to serve you it won't matter even if it bears a grudge.

You focus on the image of the pixie as you remember it as you chant the words of the spell. It's tough to both remember the words perfectly and keep the pixie in your mind, but you do so... you think. As you finish, the circle begins to gleam, just as described in the texts...

***
Someone roll me a d% and two d6's. Aim high.

>>7432470
I am 100% okay with this.

>>7432347
>>7432362
The gleam of the circle flashes with a dark, purple-tinted light, and then vanishes. Standing in the center of the circle is a creature- that certainly worked. But it is most definitely not the pixie you intended. It looks like a slim humanoid, eight inches high and with angular features- that much is similar to your mental image. But the flesh is not flesh at all, but a coating of tiny scales like those of a serpent, and batlike wings are furled behind its back. It wears a skirt with a small sheathed blade which hangs heavily on its hips, and a forked tail is lashing betwixt its ankles.

Separate from that, however, is something else. You can feel its presence- you suspect that you could point to it and call it to you from a mile away. The binding worked beautifully.

The creature looks up. "What's this? Bound again, and to a dead woman? Just my luck." It paces around the circle. "Well, Dark Mistress, are you going to let me out?"

You're pretty sure that it would be safe to let it loose- it must obey your will in all things for the next month. What do you do?

So.. what the fuck happened to that wish scroll in the boot?

>>7432528
Your vampire lord was shocked at his good fortune upon discovering it, and promptly put it to use.

>>7432528
Vamp Lord probably took it. Asshole.

>>7432490
Sure, let her out. Tell her that we need help in studying and learning magic.

>>7432490
Find out what kind of demon it is.

We need to know its abilities, knowledge, and anything else it can tell us.

That things sounds fucking ugly as well, ask if it can make itself invisible so we don't have to look at it (and no one knows its there).

OP, we're waiting...

Dick Biting White Women?

>>7432545
>>7432572
You reach forward to the circle and withdraw the power held inside it, freeing the creature. It immediately spreads its wings to their full span- you would estimate a bit over a foot- and stretches out its arms. "Ah, feels good to be loose. So, what's the job?"

You look down on it. It is not exactly attractive, though not hideous, but it is bound to your will, and it does seem to be able to speak well enough... "I need someone to help me as I study magic."

It stops stretching and looks at you. "What've you got me for, then? Why didn't you whistle up one of them talkin' skulls? Those are pretty smart."

You don't really want to admit that you lost control of your spell, so you choose not to respond. "If you are no good for that, what can you do?"

The creature looks at you skeptically. "You don't know? Your basic assassin imp, right from the pits. Spying, sneaking, occasional stabbing, carrying messages. Poisoning. Mixing up poisons. A little bit of alchemy, mostly as relates to poisons."

You pause. That sounds... not immediately applicable, but possibly useful. "Can you make yourself invisible?"

The imp nods. "Well, all but the tail. You know, magic's tricky like that." It spreads its wings and starts flapping around the room, examining the dusty furniture. It moves shockingly quickly for something so small, and flits through the air with an agility that strikes you as unnatural.

What do you do?

>>7432765
Use it to send message to BF, duh. Let's just come clean. We wanted him to settle down, and we thought we could make him take more notice of us if we became a villain. Try to leave out the part where we killed a ranger in cold blood.

>>7432765
"Poisons, hmm? Poisons that could kill a vampire?"

>>7432837
Undead are immune to poison. Unless OP is going to be original and not follow the conventions of D&D. Which could be nice, if he does it well. Sure, ask if it can poison vampires.

>>7432837
It looks startled. "Uh, Mistress, I'm really not going to try anything. For serious."

You mentally urge it to answer the question, trying out this binding magic. The imp provides an answer immediately. "No. Vampires are dead, not really much to poison there. Even poisoning a human and having them feed on it won't do anything, because of... uh... metaphysical somethingorother."

>>7432824
It occurs to you that you can at least use this imp to send your boyfriend a note, explaining what happened to him. He might be hard to find, but you could have the imp leave it at your home, and then at least he'd maybe understand... but what would you tell him? Where you are? That you've been killing people every night? He'd come to kill you, you know it. He might cry as he did, but he would. You don't want to die... even if you technically already have.

>>7432954
Oh, he's one of *those* adventurers. Shit. Lessee, maybe he can get his hands on a scroll of wish/miracle/true resurrection that works on undead. That way, once we let him coup de grace us, we can immediately come back to life. We can work to make up for those we've killed. After all, it's not /that/ bad; if we hadn't done it, one of the others would have. We can get better. We didn't choose this. WE DIDNT CHOOSE THIS!

>>7432954
"Pity. Anything solutions, poison or not, that would work? You're an assassin, and there's someone in this castle whom we'd rather see dead... as in DEAD-dead, not... you get the picture."

>>7432954
But, we did it all for the glory of love...

>>7433035
You spend a moment lost in thought, wondering if your boyfriend could somehow save you. You never wanted to be this way... you'd take it all back in an instant if you could. You didn't choose this, you...

You feel a tear beginning to form in your eyes, and end this train of thought. You don't want to turn into a sobbing wreck in front of your new imp servant. Back to assassinations.

"Pity. Anything solutions, poison or not, that would work? You're an assassin, and there's someone in this castle whom we'd rather see dead... as in DEAD-dead, not... you get the picture."

The imp relaxes a little. "Oh. Right. Power struggle type thing, I get you. Well, I could... hmm, no... uh... maybe... okay, I haven't got much. Maybe we could mix some liquid sunlight, but that's not really in my bag of tricks. Dark essence, y'know. Can't do it. And you'd fry in the sun. Got any other minions who could do some alchemy?"

>>7433159
Damn. No other minions. On the bright side, it seems that we have the circle and it doesn't require any other material components! Time to summon an army! Or one of those floating skulls she mentioned... Can we really get a Demi-Lich this early?

>>7433211
Mimir. Try and summon one named Bob later.

>>7433222
?

>>7433222
Concur.

> Damn. No other minions.

You can create a gelatinous cube.. at WILL. You know how.

>>7433211
You think for a moment. The spell took the better part of an hour, and the candles that you used did kind of vanish as part of the ritual, but there are plenty of candles downstairs and you have all night. You could go get some more and probably get six or seven more servants by the end of the night, assuming that Adrienne doesn't drag you into some sadistic torture. Which she almost certainly will, since she does so every night.

What will you do? If you attempt additional rituals, what will you try to summon? Will you use reference texts, or speed things up by trying to get by on your current knowledge? Will you avoid Adrienne, or get the night's torture over with so that you can get back to serious work after the pain?

>>7433348

if you hid in a big enough cube, told it not to eat you, and go opaque in the sunlight.. you could actually.. go out in the daytime!

>>7433348
Right, except for the lack of a pot, the roots, the herbs and the mushrooms. So,we lack everything needed to make one. And we don't know what the roots were; the pixie told us about the herbs and mushrooms, so we could probably find more, but we don't know what plant the roots were from.

>>7433159
Wait...

What about those humans? Get one of 'em on your side. Promise you'll let them go if they do a favor for you. There's your vector. Now all we need is the weapon.

>>7433367
One more try for the pixie we knew, and then go back to studying. Try to find out all the ingredients in making a gelatinous cube.

>>7433390
It occurs to you that you could try to get a human or two working for you... either one of Adrienne's toys, or one of the humans sleeping in the courtyard structure. You're not sure exactly how you would go about it, though; the matter bears more thought.

>>7433418
You order the assassin imp to conceal itself and wait in the circle room, then move quickly down into the main chamber. Walking as silently as possible so as to hopefully go unheard by Adrienne, you snatch a dozen or so candles and slink back upstairs.

Back at the circle, you quickly check the runes for any signs of disturbance, in case you accidentally damaged them- or, it occurs to you, the imp sabotaged them. You'd better be careful when giving orders in the future; not everything will be that accommodating, by what you've read. Seeing no problems, you place the candles and begin to chant your spell, once again attempting to hold the image of that pixie in your will while also chanting the spell without flaw.

>>7433645
You focus more firmly on the pixie this time. You're not going to botch this one again. The summoning circle begins to glow before flashing with a dark green light. Standing in its center is the pixie, just as you pictured it.

It shakes its head, apparently startled. "You. What in all the hells do you want with- you're a vampire? And summoning me... poorly." It leaps directly into the air, passing through the binding circle as though it were not present. "Learn some real magic, you backstabbing bitch. And work fast; I'll get you for trying to pull this."

It begins to fly from the room. What do you do?

I'm surprised Anon hasn't made our poor vampire masturbate furiously at every move. She DOES look like Winry, you know..

get the imp to wrangle it, maybe drug it?

>>7433767
Apologize profusely. We just want to see a friendly face. That's why we tried to keep her last time.

i shoot magic missiel at it and torture it

>>7433782
That's because we're trying to go for lesbian sex instead. Preferably with the redhead (the one who won't torture us).

Anyway, tell the pixie that you're sorry. You're sorry and you want to make amends, both to the pixie and to someone else. Just do us one favor and we'll never bother you again.

>>7433767
>>7433814
Did we get a name?

>>7433870
If we didn't, we will this time.

>>7433870

'sif it'd tell you after what you tried ?

I wish OP had found a nicer-looking vampire. It's hard to empathise with her looking like that.

>>7433870
During your former travels with it, the pixie merely laughed at any suggestions that it give you its name. Based upon your books on summoning magic, that was probably wise of it; if you'd known its name you would have had to focus on it at all when summoning it.

>>7433814
>>7433856
The pixie's leaving quickly. With little time to think, you call after it. "Wait! Please, I'm sorry! I just wanted someone friendly to talk to, and you were so great- I'll make it up to you-"

The pixie's voice drifts to you from the darkness outside the keep, where you can see it floating in the dim moonlight. "None of that shit. We had a deal, you broke it, and you're not nearly as sorry as you will be."

>>7433841
>>7433796
You scowl. You were trying to be nice; why was it being so stubborn? And now it was threatening you... well, you could threaten back. "Fine!" You thrust your arm at it and gather your will, muttering well-learned syllables. A small bolt of energy flies at the pixie, but the quick little creature dodges and gets away clean.

"Hah! You'll have to do better than that, you incompetent- hrk-!" The pixie cuts off with a gurgle, clutching at its throat. You stare at it. What could have...

The assassin imp fades into view, its wings beating furiously. One of its arms is wrapped around the pixie's face, and the other holds a short blade driven deeply into the side of its neck. The pixie gurgles for a few long seconds more, then falls limp, and the assassin imp takes the body in both arms and carries at back towards the keep.

As it alights, it glances at you. "Well, that coulda gone better, eh? At least pixies are good eatin'!" It smiles, revealing a startling number of needle sharp teeth.

What do you do?

>>7434033
Sorry. I wanted one which had the kind of look that would make her see herself as hideous, and didn't find any that both fit that and had a sympathetic appearance in a quick search. If someone provides a more appropriate one I'll gladly use it in the future.

>>7434060
Sob.

>>7434060

well darkside here we come.

tell our assassin imp the pixies free game then.

we should also get our daily torture and cry thing out of the way before its to late and we really piss off the black haired vamp.

>>7434060
You have no idea of the sorrow I feel at reading this.

Idea! She's almost certainly still alive, if only just; bite her. Vampire pixie. She'll have to be our friend then!

>>7434102


tonight's torture session will be so well-DESERVED..

>>7434179
I am doubtful that a weak vampire like ourselves could do that. Bury the little pixie at night in the forest.

>>7434179
Oh shit son.

Do this, then go down to the main hall. If Adrienne doesn't want to torture us, well and good. If she does.... grin and bear it, and remember that we put up with it now so we don't have to later.

>>7434230
Hey, we're a vampire, and she's not that big. What do we have to loose by trying? Just wanted a friend D:

it was just a fucking pixie, guys.. this is almost as bad as when you guys bawwwwed about your boyfriend killing your cube buddy..

>>7434253
Well don't actually grin; it'll just make her beat us harder.

>>7434263

Pixies are *tricky*-- i suggest we don't give the angry thing vampiric powers as well.

>>7434451
Indeed. I say we dissect the pixie, or at least eat her. Perhaps we'll learn something from it.

>>7434264
WE ARE AN EMOTIONAL WOMAN.

>>7434471
We need to become a badass woman!

Suggest summoning alchemical minions.

>>7434179
>>7434253
You have no idea if the pixie is still alive, but a wave of remorse hits you. You had summoned it because it had been such a good friend, and now it was dead by your hand. Well, your servant's hand, but that was almost certainly because you had attacked with lethal force. Could you fix this? You have no healing magic, no way to...

...wait. You know how to make more vampires, and if you turned her, she'd be almost as firmly bound as if you had summoned her. You can do this. You grab the body from the imp and place your fang to its neck wound, sucking greedily at the still-spurting blood.

"Wow, boss, I didn't realize that you'd be so enthusiastic."

It tastes like someone fermented summer and dumped it into the pixie's veins; it takes all your willpower to stop drinking and bite your palm, then squeeze blood into the pixie's slack jaw.

"Wait, what? Mistress, are you seriously trying to- can that even happen?"

You have no idea if that worked. It would take hours for her to awaken in any case. You stand. "Guard the body. Do not damage her any further. If she awakens, restrain her. If not... I'll be back with further instructions."

Your assassin imp watches you stride off with a puzzled look on its face and a wistful glance at the corpse of the pixie.

***

>>7434221 >>7434253
>>7434289 >>7434158
You head down to the torture chamber. As you walk in, Adrienne is standing in the main chamber, apparently preparing to leave and look for you- your timing is perfect. "Oh, there you are, precious. I was just going to go bring you to play. Come, come!"

The hours pass in agony, and you can't help but feel on some level that you deserve it. As you feast on the blood of a boy whose only crime was being present while you were hungry, you try to fight back the bliss that tells you how feeling the sweet bloodflow on your tongue is the greatest good you have left with thoughts of your own evils, but it's futile. The tears streaming down your cheeks fade as the blood streams down your throat, and you lean against the wall laughing in euphoric joy until you realize what you're doing and break down sobbing.

It is a long time before you feel well enough to do things again, but it happens. Now what?

>>7434485


does this count as one or TWO evil deeds now?

>>7434503

Visit our imp before we go to bed, see if the pixie is alive

>>7434512

IT MAKES US HAPPY.

>>7434530
If Pixie is dead, bury pixie in a tiny grave, plant flower over it.

>>7434622

Save for alchemical experiments!

>>7434630

*nods* Maybe we can make a pixie golem.

Going to be honest, I clicked on this thread hours ago, wanted to post, but ended up enlarging the OP picture and wanking to it. The whole time.

Sorry, so sorry, guys

>>7434622
And vegetables, because we can't masturbate without them

>>7434652

It *is* beautiful, isn't it?
*hearts pale women*

>>7434485
If worst come to worst, we break down, find her a tiny dress, and pretend she's still alive. Have tea parties, dance, talk with her, the whole spiel. Use it as an outlet for our madness.

>>7434673

Vampire chicks and demon chicks.

Nothing gets me harder than the above in dominatrix wear.

>>7434720
Pixies are demons...

>>7434713

I like this idea, we should really learn some necromancy so that we can bring back all those we kill in our bloodlust

>>7434530 >>7434622
>>7434630 >>7434643

The sun will probably rise in a mere fraction of an hour, but you nevertheless make your way up the steps all the way to the former mage's quarters. The imp waits there still, with the unmoving form of the pixie. "We got nothin', Mistress."

You stand still for a moment. On some level, you must have known that it wouldn't work, but you had still hoped... hoped that you could somehow turn back time by bringing a companion of whom you had fond memories back to you. That hadn't worked at all, and you instead find yourself feeling a gnawing emptiness in your heart.

"Fine. If pixies have anything with alchemical properties you can make use of, take them and store them appropriately. Then bury the body somewhere out of the way in the courtyard. Show me where you put the grave tomorrow."

The imp nods. "On it, Mistress. Say, you know, pixies could almost be said to be alchemically delicious-"

"I don't care." You turn and leave, as behind you the imp smiles widely and licks its numerous, sharp teeth.

You go to sleep, welcoming the oblivion that comes with the dawn.

***

Another night of this. What now?

>>7434770
Now I'm sad. Again.

>>7434770

Learn more sorcery.
Summon alchemical tutor.
Learn alchemy.
Hope the Imp saved the whole pixie body as an alchemic component.

>>7434770
Maybe...maybe she just needs more time? Yeah, that's it, she just needs a few more hours, heh heh. Put her somewhere the light won't reach, and then when she wakes up we can be friends again. Heh heh, ha, ha, Aha, Ahaha, AHAHAHAHAHA! (This is the part where we go insane)

>>7434652
>>7434673
>>7434720
So you guys think I should keep using that as the OP pic, then? It's a little bit more fierce and less miserably emotionally shattered than I'd like.

>>7434853
Meh, if you can find something better, use it. If not, stick with this.

>>7434853

I'm sure you can find a suitable romantic-vampire somewhere on deviantart.
The picture you currently have is a bit too Hollywood.

>>7434894
I don't actually want to spend time looking through an endless stream of vampire pictures on deviantart. That sounds like it would be bloody miserable.

>>7434917
Try danbooru maybe, but yeah either way it would be a lot to sort through.

>>7434917

Refined a little:

http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=Vampire+emo#catpath=photography&order=9&
;q=Vampire&offset=24

I sugggest we keep count of all the evil deeds we do.. once we reach a certain level it..

a) unlocks evil powers
b) makes our boyfriend go SMITE EVIL even harder on us


say.. 20 ?

>>7434803
>>7434823
>>7434838
You arise dully, thoughts of last night weighing heavily on your mind. Surely you hadn't really summoned that pixie, only to kill it, had you? You'd tried your best to fix it! She must be waiting for you out there somewhere, having risen from her grave with the setting of the sun.

...you don't want to decide if you believe that or not. It seems that either you're insane, you're an evil monster, or you're an insane evil monster. None of those options are good, so you go into the library and curl up around the sorcery texts. You were pleased with your use of the missile spell yesterday; you suspect that with a little more study you'll be able to use it completely reliably.

Some time later, Adrienne takes you. Some time after that, you are back in the library with the books, where nothing hurts and there is no one else to talk to. You look for spirits of knowledge which you might be able to summon- little things, the strength of imps or pix- no. The books say that mimirs, the talking skulls the imp mentioned, are generally knowledgeable, but they're immobile and often somewhat unhinged. Certain varieties of imp, cherub, gremlin, or sprite might qualify as well. The field is fairly wide open; you can select for secondary qualities in addition to knowledge if you wish.

You probably have time for two summoning spells, if nothing else happens tonight. What do you do?

>>7435034
Honestly we are scouring the face of a world for LOVE I don't think this really has a place.

>>7435050
SUMMON A SKULL

LEARN SHIT FROM SKULL

>>7434974
Thanks. With results like this popping up, I'm sure to find a better OP image in no time.

...or not.

>>7435059
This.

>>7435050
Well, I guess a Mimir who knows about teaching magic. Resurrection especially.. And one that knows of Alchemy.

>>7435050

look into necromancy, after all if we being back those young boys and girls from the dead that should make them fell better, and when our Husband saves us from the vampire we can greet him and his friends, Bringing them properly into the family.

>>7435050
We want to summom that mimir.

>>7435050

Perhaps a sprite capable of surveillance and investigation. (Knowledge of hidden things, able to unlock doors, etc.)

And maybe... *something* with alchemic knowledge. A cherub perhaps?

YES! A cherub with knowledge of alchemy and the virtues of materials.
Can act as a servitor and locate/read books looking for specific knowledge.
Like the 40k variety.

>>7435139
This. Oh dear this. Reminds me of the Goetia.

>>7435120
I should clarify- you can select between creature types based upon their listed characteristics, but cannot control what you get within that type of being. You'd need lists of names and profiles for that, and that sort of detailed information on otherworldly beings is rare and utterly priceless.

So you can ask for something stealthy or combat-capable or whatever in addition to knowledgeable, is what I was getting at.

Who am I kidding? You'll almost certainly go with the skull.

>>7435139
No, no, no... we want to summom something from lower spheres. We are a vampire after all.

>>7435161

The skull?
What's the difference in knowledge between the skull and say a servitor cherub?

>>7435161
Oh. Well then, I guess two mimirs and hope that at least one of them can teach us what we want to know.

>>7435176

This is an odd point-- what benefit/penalties do we have for summoning things from different spheres. (Or mundane alignments?)

>>7435161
>You'll almost certainly go with the skull.

Yeah, skull can bite!

>>7435177
According to the books you've read, mimirs are more intelligent than others in their class, but generally somewhat insane. They also have absolutely zero physical and magical abilities- utterly immobile. All they can do is sit and talk.

Cherubs may have some form of healing or divination magic, and generally know a lot about alchemy, light-oriented magics, and protective, healing, and divination spells.

>>7435218

Can a vampire utilize light-oriented magics, or are they Hardcoded Evil?

>>7435218
Cherub and a mimir then. Cover our bases. And who knows? Maybe she really will be better when we get there. Ahaha... *twitch*

>>7435190
If you really mix up your summoning spheres, your minions won't like one another, and will come into conflict- potentially fatally. That's about it for most spellcasters, but you have problems of your own.

If you summon generally moral beings, they'll probably assume that you're an evil vampire and begrudge you their help, unless you can convince them that you're not horribly evil- a difficult task, when you are regularly draining the life from innocents.

why is this stupid bint getting herself deeper and deeper into trouble messing with things she doesn't understand?

what about redhead vampire? what's she always reading?

>>7435218
We go just for mimir. We don't want cherub to cast some light magic at us, if we failed at summoming.

>>7435257

What is the alignment and general demeanor or a Sprite?
I seem to recall that they are generally neutral, unless specifically aligned to a particular element.

Alchemy Mimir and Spying/Unlocking sprite may be best.
The cherub probably won't like us.

>>7435236
You're learning arcana which is entirely divorced from the nature of the being using it. All magic is available to you except things from the gods.

So you could potentially learn sunlight-oriented spells, but much like the mage who is careless with the aim of his fireballs, you'd be a danger to yourself.

>>7435257
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Didn't think about that. Shit shit shit. Mimir and Cherub. Pray that we can convince the Cherub to work with us.

>>7435259
Oh god. Red haired vampire. How could we have forgotten her? She must have gone through this too. We should ask her for help in finding ways to bear this horror.

>>7435276
We should definitely hear more about the sprite before choosing cherub.
Unless we get a cherub of LOVE who can empathize with us.

>>7435257
>when you are regularly draining the life from innocents.

I think our relationship with our boyfirend already ended.

>>7435283
Why not try for one Mimir and use the rest of the time conversing with the redhead? No one said we had to spend all our time summoning.

>>7435305

We should try to bind as many minions as we can so we will have cleverness available to us.
Before talking to people might be... odd.

>>7435305
Have we yet tryed to have a talk with our master?

>>7435276
Sprites are generally reclusive and shy; their only feelings on moral issues tend to be "as long as you're not bothering me and mine, whatever". You wouldn't be likely to have more problems than anyone else would working with it. Are you thinking a dedicated sneak sprite, or a more intellectual type who could help you with spells?

Your imp would probably want to eat it, but on the other hand there are precious few sapient beings that your imp wouldn't want to eat.

>>7435315

We should also study how to perform/reinforce longer term bindings.
One month is comparatively short.

>>7435299
Naw, he still loves us. Won't stop him from killing us, but it's a comforting thought.

>>7435327

Which means our relationship has ended.

>>7435330
Don't let it end ;_;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJv8sO0mI-M

>>7435340

We need a -lover-, not a boyfriend.

>>7435330
On the other hand, we won out ticket to immortality. Now we just need some freedom...

>>7435354
He was both. Oh god. "Was". We still love him, right? Ohgodohgodohgod.

>>7435354
Summom an incubus?

>>7435364

This reminds me.
How is this world with technology?
Can we build... Warp powered machines?
(Mmmm, Malatek Stalkers.)

>>7435381
We are undead monster. We are no longer capable of such complex emotion.

After looking through the books, you've decided what to start with- a mimir. You grab some candles and make your way to the keep, where you find your assassin imp lounging about, picking his teeth with a fragment of something small and white. "Evening, milady. More summoning?"

You nod and inspect the circle- fine, as usual- before setting up the candles and focusing your will. You chant for many long minutes, the image of a talking skull, spirit of knowledge, held firmly in your thoughts. The circle glows...

***
d% and 2d6, please. While you're at it, suggestions for the second summon if any.

>>7435398
Generic fantasy probably. No technology unless you are gnome.

>>7435401
Okay, now you're pushing it. Relationship with previous boyfriend over due to murder and transformation into a vampire? Fine, if there is really no way to fix it. Incapable of love? Bullshit. Love is no more important or hard to feel emotion than sadness, and we were pretty sad when the pixie died.

rolled 25 = 25

rolling

>>7435324

Oh dear, I missed this.
Sprites can help with spells, eh?

Perhaps we can summon a sprite capable of being an alchemy assistant/research assistant.
Maybe a Mimir as an alchemy tutor. Do Mimirs have any other skills than cleverness?

Oh! Perhaps our mimir can be Alchemy/Thufir Hawat.
(Spymaster type/good at analyzing people and coming up with plans.)

>>7435415
>While you're at it, suggestions for the second summon if any

More mimirs. They can talk to each oher when we are busy, so they won't get lonely. That would be good deed and we need to do good deeds, don't we...

rolled 4, 6 = 10

>>7435415

>>7435448
Two mimirs is a little much.
I like scribe-sprite. He can help us learn faster by finding us good books. He can also get components for us!

>>7435415
I say we stick to one summon. I don't meal like giving that stupid imp another meal.

>>7435473

I DO!
If he -likes- us, perhaps maintaining the binding will be easier.

Is this going to be a on-going quest? I need to go sleep and am wondering if this is going to get archived.

>>7435478
Fairly certain he's a she, what with the skirt.

>>7435437
>>7435469
A flash of greyish light, and there is a skull in the middle of the summoning ring. You feel with your will, and you definitely have a connection to it- tenuous, but present. It should serve you. You reach forward and break the circle, speaking confidently. "Mimir, I will require your assistance and advice in my studies."

The skull doesn't move or reply. You frown at it. "Mimir?"

Still nothing. You feel again- you definitely have a connection to it; it must be there. "Mimir, I don't appreciate being ignored."

The assassin imp flutters over. "You sure that's a talking skull, and not just a normal one? Looks pretty beat up to me. Look at those fractures. All the smarts would leak out!"

The skull jumps in your hand. "Impetuous creature! How dare you interfere in my contest of will with my summoner with your crude slander! I'll have you know that my intellect is unmatched in any dozen spheres! A thousand thousand spells are contained within my bone, and kings travel thousands of miles to hear my wisdom! Why-"

You can't help but feel that you were better off when the skull was not talking. It seems to have no inclination to stop. You set it to the side and do your best to ignore it for now, setting up the summoning ritual again. A sprite this time, something with both knowledge and the ability to move. Candles, focus, the ring glows...

***
And it's d% and 2d6 again.

>>7435481


this quest will never end... until the lesbian sex scene has happened.

rolled 82 = 82

>>7435556

DON'T TRY TO STOP ME!

rolled 5, 3 = 8

>>7435556

FOR THE GLORY OF THE IMPERIUM!

WHY are we summoning these horrible things to us, again?

>>7435422
Gnomes are vicious forest-dwelling savages. They do not use technology. No one gets technology. This is low-tech fantasy land.

>>7435481
After sinking what, thirteen hours into this so far today, I'll probably keep it going. Would be a waste of all this time if I didn't.

>>7435556

The skull is prideful. Excellent.
Even with a somewhat weak binding, I doubt it will deceive for fear of being mocked.
(It gives us a bad spell, and we have the Imp insult its ignorance all night.)

>>7435556
I like this guy! He can be our witty sidekick!

>>7435583
You mean you'll continue for the next 15 hours until we finish it, or you'll stop sometime in the near future, archive it, and then continue tomorrow or something?

>>7435621

The OP can do both, you realize.

>>7435627
Yeah, but I've been following this since the previous thread and I need sleep and do not wish to miss anything. So I hope for my sake he decides to come to a stopping point within the next hour or so.

>>7435641

You selfish bastard!
What if the OP kills itself because of you?

>>7435641


you are all fags for enjoying being a muddle-headed vampire chick.

>>7435657

We're trying to reforge her into a badass muddle-headed vampire woman who enjoys boyrape.

>>7435656
Then I will be sad because I won't see the quest finished.

>>7435673

OP is like the 2nd or 3rd GM of this thing.. I think it'll live.

>>7435673

It's all about you, isn't it?

>>7435691
Yep.

>>7435684
Yeah, but it won't be the same.

>>7435562
>>7435576
A flash of brown, and a sprite stands before you- just under two feet of thin humanoid, his flesh the color of bark and hair that of colorful autumn leaves. He is obviously male in spite of his build, and wears a roughspun shirt and trousers. A staff- well, a staff to someone of his height- is held loosely in one small hand.

He looks up at you and sighs. "Summoned and bound. How inconvenient."

You feel for your connection to him. It is quite strong; you shouldn't have any problems with this one. You reach forward and break the circle as you begin to speak. "Sprite, I have summoned you to act as assistant in my studies. What are your capabilities?"

He blinks, then bows. For someone in low-class clothing, he's remarkably formal. "I am an adept herbalist, lady, and can guide plants to obey my will or conceal me in the wilderness. I am also an excellent scribe and accountant."

That seems like a somewhat disjointed skillset. You can't help but wonder how it happened. Before you can ask, however, the sprite glances past you, obviously looking at something. You turn and find that the predawn light is illuminating your vampire lord.

He nods to you. "I thought less of you than this when I turned you. You may be able to provide me with more than pretty screams and a convenient shock at the appropriate time. I will think on this."

He turns and flows into the darkness, vanishing as silently as he appeared. You are left staring, wondering what you are in for now, as you order your creatures to avoid harming one another and to remain in the general area, then flee the light of the sun for your underground sarcophagus once again.

As your eyes close, you realize that you never visited the pixie's grave. Does forgetting about that make you more evil?

***

A new night. What shall you do?

how does everyone know we're a vampire? our heroine still looks like an attractive younge woman , long blond hair, blue eyes.. maybe her skin and hair's gone pale a little but unless she's smiling and showing off those fangs...

Well it seems that the second summoning will go well.

The mimir is trying to oppose us, which of course is futile because it's impotent. Tell it that if it aids us, then we won't have the imp verbally abuse it all night long.

Have it tutor us in summoning. If you haven't already decided on an effect for our learning, might I suggest a flat-rate bonus to be applied to our summoning chances? Say, +25 to % rolls and +1 to the 1d6 rolls?

>>7435711


Time before boyfriend's party arrives
Equipment/inventory

.. why do we have to sleep when we live underground where no sunlight penetrates, anyway?

>>7435711
>Does forgetting about that make you more evil?
No, just forgetful.

>>7435713
I told them.

>>7435711
No, it doesn't; that pixie was going to kill us. Eventually.

As for the new night... hmmm.
Get the Mimir and the Sprite together in the library and do some alchemy studying.
Perhaps research ways to ward against vampire lords.

that poor pixie :(

>>7435723

Don't start off with threats!
Ask the Mimir what it likes.
If it helps us with accurate information, we will give it rewards.
Inaccurate or misleading information will lead to *bad* things.

>>7435723
>>7435753
These.

I ask the sprite for the missing ingredient for making gelatinous cubes. and to go get them in the morning when you sleep.

It feels nice to learn.. it keeps your mind off what you've become.

>>7435738
Do not in any fashion look into ways to kill the Vampire Lord. He is far more powerful than you and is capable of viewing your actions without your knowledge. Until you are much stronger you have no chance against him. In fact, the nature of the Master-child relationship may make rebellion impossible.

>>7435711
Oh shit. He knows.

Forgot to visit her grave? Damnit, daughter I am disapoint.

>>7435713
Not everyone knows. Only the imp and pixie have picked it out immediately. That said, vampires only pass flawlessly as human in exceptionally poor light in this setting.

>>7435641
Yeah, I'll be stopping soon and resuming at some later point.

>>7435727
It's not the sunlight itself that makes you need to sleep, it's the mere fact that the sun has risen. Very metaphysical crap that you don't have much of a background in.

You don't know how much time you have until your boyfriend and his companions will show up. He'd have had to travel many hundreds of miles to get here, and that assumes that he even knows about this castle. He might have thought that he'd kill the vampire lord somewhere else, for all you know.

You currently have no effective inventory- you merely take clothes out of the closets and chests provided downstairs, candles from the box of them, and make use of the library and summoning circle facilities. You don't really have any stuff to carry around.

>>7435727

Boyfriends party!
That reminds me.
Illusion magic. Illusion magic and summoning.

Maybe have the Sprite work with the Imp on growing some poisons.
Perhaps we can knock out the BF, then turn *him* into a vampire. Or mindfuck him.
Mindfuck sorcery is a good research target, too.

We have our summoned minions begin studying. Focus on summoning since we've got a nice system worked out for it.

We will become the Vampire Summoner, feared and renowned throughout these lands. Our fearsome creatures will patrol the halls of the Lord's castle and support his troops on the field. Our magical prowess will force him to acknowledge us, and then WE will be whipping Adrienne.

>>7435858
Mmmm. Combat creatures next.

>>7435800
Well, I guess that would get him to settle down with us... Sure, let's go for it. He will be our for eternity. Unlike Pixie... *sniff*

>>7435858
Then we shall kill our 'lord' and eat his soul.

>>7435874


how quickly they fall once they've been turned...

>>7435723 >>7435738
>>7435753 >>7435774
You start the evening by diving directly into your tomes on the arcane, going to fetch your new servants. Rhiannon is surprised to see the mimir, but raises a hand to you at the sight of the sprite. You get the impression that Adrienne has been known to attack and drain various otherworldly creatures on occasion, and that Rhiannon believes she would not hesitate should she see this one.

The sprite is uncertain what ingredients would be required to create a gelatinous cube, but is sure he could retrieve them from the surrounding forest, should he be told what they are.

As you are somewhat concerned about Adrienne, you instruct the sprite to go outside and discuss matters related to poisons with the imp, either planting relevant herbs or searching the forest with him for naturally occurring patches which could be harvested and refined later.

That leaves you alone with the mimir for your study of improved summoning techniques. While you quickly discover that the mimir has knowledge equaling or exceeding that of most of your available tomes (or at least those which you can read), it also delights in belittling your level of knowledge and refuses to admit when it may be mistaken. Still, its help proves quite valuable.

After several hours of study, Adrienne comes to retrieve you from the library floor with a smile. "It's your lucky day, girlie. The master is here to watch again."

***

I'm going to leave it there for tonight, I think. Thanks for playing, all; see you tomorrow or the day after for more of this.

>>7435892
See you soon. Can't wait for the next part. And someone make sure to archive this.

>>7435892
G'night.

And just as a note to every1 else: The master knows of our abilities and will expect us to entertain him in some fashion. We should learn some magic that will make things more "interesting"

Imagine his amusement if the whips doubled back in midair and struck Adrienne instead of us?

>>7435892


Morningfag here.. where's the morning GM to take over??

Is this archived on suptg yet?

>>7435987


don't know how

>>7435987

Yap!

>>7435920
>Imagine his amusement if the whips doubled back in midair and struck Adrienne instead of us?

We might start to like it... and I am sure we don't wanna go THAT low.

>>7436117
He might not like us hurting his favorite bride either. Don't do anything unless he specifically asks us.

>>7436131
Also we don¨t want to entertain him... anyway, wonder what is he doing while we are getting whiped? Faps to it?

>>7436150

I rather like the pain.

>>7436162
We start to like it, we become head vampire's fucktoy for rest of our existence.

Come on, we'll have lots of time for masochism (consensual!) after we free ourselves.

uh guys. the GM's gone to sleep.

>>7436224
Exactly. And we still need to seduce red-haired vamp. So much to do, so little time. You think she'd be up for a threesome with our soon-to-be hubby?

>>7436237
At least we ca provide GM with ideas. If he/she reads suptg...

wake up OP...

OP, you rock.
