sounds cool, op

That doesn't sound like a paladin at all.

File: 1358162160856.jpg-(410 KB, 2789x621, HandBombardWesternEurope1(...).jpg)

We first encountered the Paladin in a shitty little fishing village in the southern state of Ilegon, where we were supposed to be recovering an artifact some tools had dredged up out of the ocean.

What we found instead was a huge guy in plate with a bunch of jackbooted thugs storming through the village, beating the shit out of people to try and find an "Icon of Sin." I'm sure you can guess that we were looking for the same thing.

There were four of us, plus two guides we had hired, and about thirty of them. We met our contact at the appointed spot, but he refused to give us the item unless we saved his family from the Paladin and his men. They were under suspicion, and would probably be killed if the item wasn't found.

So we poled out a raft to their ship in the night, climbed on board, and busted the folks out, minimal fuss. We went back, and the man told us that he'd put the item in a safe place, but that he couldn't recover it because of some foul magic. He directed us to a cave near the village. We had to get in and out right as the tide was coming in--a clever mechanism lifted heavy gates using the tide with buoyant floats. It'd drown smartasses who didn't understand the system, but would let us through.

So we went in, and found that the 'safe place' was an ancient temple to some sort of dark sea god, with a chest millennia old. The fisherman can't have possibly installed it, and the inscriptions suggested a high degree of eldritch lore required to open the damn thing. Knowledge that we, of course, had. We opened it, and found a totem made out of whale bones and gold, and made our way out of the facility.

Who was waiting for us on the beach, you ask? Who else, the Paladin and his men. Thankfully, Chippy was a clever lad, and had kept his cannon above water.

So...Is your group neutral, or nonlawful, or not quite lawful enough, or what? For that matter, are these terminator pallies even LG anymore? Cuz that's sounding almost more like an antipaladin than a paladin.

>>22578590

Seems like the organization is using the term as a Proper title rather than a general profession.

>>22578622
>>22578590

You know that paladin is just a word, right? If these murderous apocalypse bringers want to call themselves that, who is going to tell them they're wrong?

>>22578538
so... Blackguards.

LG: Paladins
LN: Marshals
LE: Blackguards

>>22578632
Sure. That's just not what it typically means around here.

Isn't good and evil defined by the cosmology? If this He Who Will Be guy is conquering the cosmos, then he could literally change Good to fit for his ideals.

>>22578645

see >>22578626

>>22578538

FOR YOU

>>22578635
I think it could be literal LG paladins if you played it right. They're purging evil and kicking ass, Mercy and honor are flexible terms, and nothing they've done seems outright evil if it's in the name of establishing good.

>>22578538
>They're monsters. They don't die of age. They have magic that bypasses the Hollow. They have flaming swords that can touch the spirit world as well as the physical, and people they kill cannot be resurrected. Speaking with the dead brings forth a cacophony of screams, suggesting that those they slay are locked in some eternal prison of suffering. This setting doesn't have a hell. Or it didn't, it seems to now.
Then why didn't you describe it as a daemon posessed human and when you elaborate on what they are, mention "basically, paladins of Azathoth" ?

>>22578620
Ooh, I'm betting that the story tiem will stop at... four posts in.
You guys?

So Chip tells us to hold them off while he preps the match. The three of us step forward. The Paladin says, you know, 'kill them,' and then our fisherman contact comes up and starts giving him the "this wasn't part of the deal!" line.

So we fight some fanatics, who are actually not pushovers at all. There are only ten of them to our four, but they killed Barque and Dyson, and I got a level 4 to the lower abdomen (which is actually about as good as dying) before Chip burns a bunch of Luck to press the bombard right up against the last dude's back, and then shoot through him to hit the Paladin, who, in the middle of his own conversation, picked up the fisherman and moved him into the way.

Still, two bodies isn't enough to stop a hand cannon, and the Paladin was thrown right off his feet onto his ass, with a honking big hole in his chest. Chip tries to help me, but his surgery score is shit. The only reason I survived was, it turned out, because the Icon of Sin prevented me from dying until he could get me to a surgeon. In the fuss, we forgot to check the Paladin. That came back to haunt us later.

>>22578538

Very interesting concept and story so far OP. Shame that most here are defaulting to the Dungeons and Dragon's type of system and alignments, and are certainly proving to be pessimistic of any other ways of thinking.

Also, Eldritch Terminator Paladins are very terrifying but it begs the question why the other gods can't empower champions to fight, making their own paladins in the more conventional sense.

>>22578702

Not the OP, but I could think of some things:

>Good deities are fighting enslaved deities, so they're keeping their power for themselves
>Eldritch pallies are getting their powers from the big man who is not burdened by constant god-tier warfare

>>22578678
Riddle of Steel?

>>22578661
They call themselves Paladins, and there are no... Other Paladins, really. There are some holy warriors here and there, but the term in this setting refers to them very specifically.

They've also got a lot of powers typical of ye olde D&D Paladins, they can lay on hands, they can smite (oh God can they smite) and they can detect 'evil,' except that evil seems to mean 'stuff we don't like' rather than the more commonly accepted concepts of Good and Evil as defined by the rest of the setting.

I don't know where they keep getting converts. I actually suspect that they're bringing people over from their world, but they have to have some locals because they have guys who speak the language and know the terrain and the history and such.

>>22578632
Common /tg/ parlance describes a general situation, and then explains further as needed, as there are a lot of fireball using wizards but the differences between Beorn the fireborn and Odek Seeulson aren't ready at a glance.
Nother example; OP named no proper names, only "my party"s, and "the paladin"s and "the villager"s.

>>22578712
Could it be... Someone other than us plays this game? Unthinkable.

>>22578734
Plays, and are recruiting for a game set in japan. We played the shit out of it for forever, I think I may be one of the few people who can quickly do magic calculations in his head for this game. You got skype or something?

>Paladins turn to full force in fighting evil
>No one was spared, not even the little demons

Is your party evil?`Or am I understanding this wrong?

>>22578750

You're understanding this wrong. It's Riddle of Steel not D&D.

>>22578710
>>22578702
That's a major plot point. I'll give you the short version now, but one of my stories does relate to how we discovered this.

The Paladins aren't actually powered by their own deity (if what we know now is true,) they're powered by ours. They're like leeches, sent to kill off all opposition by absorbing divine energies. They do this, basically, via iconoclasm. Destroying our temples, burning our holy books, breaking our relics, and killing our priests gives them power, and worse, gives them powers related to the deity they're mugging.

A lot of them have sun-related powers because they basically sacked the Vatican of a country that worships the Unconquerable Sun. The older, more dangerous ones have a recurring theme of magic hammers, nets, and shapeshifting, suggesting that they took it from the Norse.

>>22578747
Nay, but I take great comfort for knowing that this board, which I have long avoided, plays my favorite game.

>>22578750
We're not evil, we're just trying to survive a power shift that's way over our heads.

>>22578783

So they have this theme of eldritch empowerment, along with a twisted kind of puritanism. Goddamn these things are terrifyingly awesome.

Hm. Now I have this idea for a campaign where the enemy is the legitimate marshal law DnD paladin government...fun. Very, "I aim to misbehave".

>>22578767
I see. Because it sounded like "Party of Epic Level Paladins enter Ravenloft and beat it up. The PCs are residents of Ravenloft, but don't know it."

Which sounds kinda cool anyway, I think.

>>22578796
Why have you long-avoided us?

And this is a really cool take on things. I love it, and may adapt it. I hope this is still here when I wake up.

>>22578783
Your setting seems very interesting. I'd like to meet your GM.

So, after this first encounter, we were marked. The Paladins' henchmen didn't know us by face or name, but the Paladins themselves could tell that we were 'bad guys.' I figured it's some sort of faction thing, they could just tell if you had fucked with their shit before.

Anyway, I was down and out for a few sessions, so I took on a temporary PC in the form of my character's uncle, and went off with Chip to try and get the artifact to our employer. The employer was a wealthy patron in a wealthy trade city, also in Ilegon but further north. We didn't want to risk going by ship, especially since the artifact might've been connected to water somehow, so we went by land.

We figured out that we were being followed, and fast. We saw fires appear in the treeline, and sometimes even right off the paths we were walking on. Spontaneous fire is a big sign that He Who Will Be is watching, so we hustled up and went to grab some new meat sh-FRIENDS, I mean friends, yes.

We picked up some more muscle in a city that I think had a name, but I can't remember. Our dead friends' players, as a badass halberdier named Dutchie, and a Viking looking for revenge against the people who had slaughtered his fleet in the Battle of Black Day (which none of us were present for, but we got a brief poem on it) which, obviously, were the Paladins.

We made it to the city unmolested, but for the grace of god, and even to our employer's house before things started getting fun.

>>22578823
I had a bad experience with Reddit, and my friends told me this place was just that but worse. You can understand my hesitation. But, this place hardly seems terrible at all.

>>22578868
He's the one who said, most vehemently, that we should never go to /tg/. I think some of his players used to be regulars, and it bugged him or something. Really cool guy though, loves what he does. Mistaken on this subject though.

this is really cool

>>22578893
Anyway, we go in to his manor, and turn in our find, and our employer has this flock of inventors and scholors and scribes there to receive it. They all start prattling on about 'from the deep' and 'bones of the ancients' and 'echoes of the hollow' and just everything else that you'd expect people trying to make a find sound impressive to their boss would say.

I say "I got stabbed in the stomach and it kept me alive." and the aristocrat raises an eyebrow. Like, he didn't actually expect it to do anything. But it does, in fact, when he puts it in seawater, it begins letting out this creepy sound, like a whalesong played with way too much bass.

He frowns at it, and says that this wasn't what he asked for, we were supposed to bring him a fake that we was having smuggled in, it was supposed to be full of silkworm cacoons. He then looks up, and he's horrified, and says "you brought a Deep Charm into my house!?"

And then there's a crash from downstairs, as the door breaks in, and there's shouting and the clashing of steel. Chip and I get this feeling like our tongues are being pulled on by some invisible force. This, I would later discover, was the sign that Paladins are tracking you.

File: 1358165428835.jpg-(76 KB, 297x292, 1297109249012.jpg)

Tell your DM that is in fact an amazing human being, and that I'l be stealing ideas from this for my next campaign.

>>22579036
that he is*
crap im tired.

The aristocrat takes a bag of gold (our pay) and puts it on the table, and tells us he'll pay us double if we take the charm and get the fuck out of his house before the gestappo gets upstairs. Chip is already loading his gun. I take the money and the charm, and our dear employer flees behind a bookcase on tracks into a panic room, along with two maids and some of his scribes. The rest flee further upstairs while we prepare to fight our way out.

The first men into the room are flunkies, same as we fought before. This time we were a bit better prepared. We took them out, and pushed our way downstairs, and then out into the courtyard and towards the stables.

And lo and behold, who comes around the corner the second after Chip fires off his shot?
It's Paladin Bane. Up until this moment, we've only heard him speak once, and the GM paraphrased him. This time he does a voice. The Bane Voice.
"A firearm is an effective tool... When loaded." he says. Chip hefts the thing like a club, and gets ready to fight as more of the Paladin's flunkies arrive. We're not even hurt yet (I think the Viking got hit once, but it was a low level bludgeoning wound, those don't do anything really), but we're outnumbered and this time, Chip doesn't have a bullet to save us.

"Give me the charm, and I will kill you." we don't bother going through the "don't you mean OR you'll kill us?" Shtick with him. We know damn well what he means. He gives the signal for his men to attack, and they do. He hangs back, watching. The callousness of the Paladins towards their own mens' deaths might actually be intentional, maybe they like winnowing out the weak. Maybe it's how they recruit. Hell if I know.

We fought for a few rounds. The numbers were less stacked against us this time, but when we vanquished them, the Paladin was still there, and we were all cut up and bleeding. I've got the charm, my character at the moment wasn't even at the original event, I don't care enough to die over this.

>>22579053
So I threaten to break the damn thing if he doesn't let us go. I was sure it wouldn't work, but the Paladin actually hesitates, and says "I mean to break the item anyway." But he's not very convincing. So I start making like I'm going to snap it in half, and he relents, moving out of the way of the stables so that we can go.

However, as we're mounting up, more of his men arrive, and some of them have guns. I hold the item up in front of me, and look at the Paladin. He tells his men to discharge their weapons into the air, as a show of faith. I'm actually pretty impressed with that, so I toss him the item. We already got paid for it after all.

The instant, the INSTANT it is in his hands, he tears it in half, seriously wrenching these golden eels apart like licorice twizzlers. And something happens. He starts smoking, this black ashy soot starts floating off of him, and he lets out this keening, inhuman howl. His men start freaking out, the horses start freaking out, and we start freaking out because of all the fucking Willpower tests we're making at difficulty 12.

>>22579036
I'll tell him. He'll be glad to know /tg/'s not a bunch of jerks. He must've just had a bad experience.

>>22579109
So, we roll, and I succeed. Chip fails, and starts screaming about being made of worms. The Viking succeeds, gets off his horse, and rushes the Paladin. Dutchie passes and his ass is out of there instantly, spurred and gone. I want to help the viking, but Chip's guy isn't thinking straight, and his horse is hurring and durring it up. So I grab his reins and bolt, leading him to safety while the Viking fights.

Now I wasn't present in character for that fight, but I was present OOC, obviously. Whatever breaking that amulet had done gave him some sort of aura of insanity. The Viking, however, flew into a berserk rage, and wasn't about to let a little thing like madness slow him down. He failed round two, didn't give a fuck.

What he did give a fuck about was that the Paladin's combat pool was at least ten higher than any of ours, and he was wielding a burning sword. Ever tried parrying a burning sword? It sucks! The man got a hit in, and dented in the Paladin's armor. Maybe it was the insanity (it was described as making the world look bizarre, red-coated, like a combination of a Dali painting and Geiger's nightmares) but the guy bled yellow light instead of blood.

The Viking's hair and furs had been on fire for a few rounds now, and the next one set his beard ablaze. The Paladin's final act of cruelty was, somehow, sucking all of the rage out of the defeated Viking, switching off his berserk fury. He died terribly aware of his own anguish, and totally insane.

>>22579180
We fled for two days. We caught up with Dutchie, and made our way back to where my character was still recovering. My Uncle (thank God he lived, he was the source of my character's wealth!) departed, with the intent of finding a stiff drink to help him forget what he'd just seen, and we were left with the haunting notion of our new enemy.

Chip, Dutchie and I sat at the table, planning our next move, and one by one, we each felt that pressure on our tongues, as the Paladin turned his gaze to us again.

Shit be real yo. And that's all for my stories tonight, but I'm gonna be back. This is such a nice board.

Aside from the Bane-isms, this Paladin guy is coming off a lot like Anton Chigur from No Country For Old Men, just a force of nature you can't really oppose. Your GM is absolute god-tier.

>>22579222
The fact that Chigurh didn't really seem to understand why he was doing what he did, and we were never really told what compelled him to such monstrosity really does hammer the similarity home.

>>22579109
>>22579180
So you have an amulet that OBVIOUSLY venerated Cthulhu or Dagon or something, and you gave it to a monster that absorbs power by breaking holy artifacts if I'm reading >>22578783 right. You guys are a bunch of geniuses.

>>22578919
This is /tg/. WE are perfectly fine for the most part, it's the OTHER boards you want to probably avoid.

This is fucking amazing. What game is this?

For the record, I am so stealing this Paladin for my DnD campaign. Assuming I can have him fit smoothly into the plot of course and not as a random asspull.

>>22579220
>We fled for two days.
Ever heard of the phrase "run and never stop running"? You should try it out if this guy's after you. Dude's like what you get if you combined the Terminator with Kirby, a flock of carrier pigeons, and Liam Neeson because there is a god and he hates you why not.

>>22579262

They found out that's how the paladins gained their power only after this happened. If you read the thread you would have known this.

/tg/ isn't always great. Depending on what you come here for some shit can go down, so i'm not surprised, I mean hell, the first part of this thread was losing it at the use of the word "Paladin"

anyway real interesting setting and guys

I feel like I've seen a hentai in which dark knights steal the power of gods by raping their sacred virgins. Wasn't this cool though.

You'd think this would all be easily solved by everyone bringing a musket instead of just one guy.

Loved your tale OP. But i gotta be straight, /tg/ ain't all good and can be pretty shitty at times too.

>>22579606

Yes, if nothing else the others can at least carry loaded guns for that Chip guy.

>>22579606
A hand cannon isn't really like a musket. It takes like six years to reload, is even more inaccurate than a musket, or a proto-musket like an arquebus.

It's a cannon on the end of a stick. They probably aren't great weapons.

The difference between reddit and 4chan is this:

4chan
We are not likely to suck your dick

Reddit
Has specific mechanics that rewards you for sucking dick and how much dick you suck

The implications and effects of the mechanics on Reddit are manifold and almost always negative. Besides the place is pretty much just a place to do marketing now, since you are rewarded for agreeing with marketers.

>>22579653
The Paladin also might not be too tough himself. He's got tons of minions, but he only fights one guy that we've seen so far, and got injured.
Then again, maybe the injury didn't actually hurt him and he just bled because he's a freaky god-monster, I dunno. Any chance of fighting him on fair footing went out the window when he got Cthulhu powers though. He might as well be the Terminator now.

>>22579764
I wonder what weapon the viking was using. I'd assume an axe, but it could've been a sword or a spear or something. It's a lot harder to track what 'should' be happening in Riddle of Steel than in games like D&D or Pathfinder. Like, getting shot in the chest with a gun in ROS is serious business, but I don't know how it'd be effected by the bullet going through two people first.

File: 1358173462937.jpg-(106 KB, 1280x720, Rune.jpg)

So, they're basically trying to religiously convert the world. They're like the Necromongers from Chronicles of Riddick.
The question is, are they actually evil, or is their god actually a pretty cool guy, and just trying to wipe out the local gods who (knowing D&D style gods and real-world mythology) are probably total pricks? Because if they're called Paladins, there's probably something clever going on here, even if the game isn't D&D. The name is saturated with connotations of righteousness now. As servants of justice, these kinds of Paladin Terminators would be pretty awesome.

Also, what's up with the creepy bone charm? That's some Dishonored shit right there.

>>22580218
The implication is clear, but we're missing information. If the guy who hired them was trying to acquire a fake, why did he end up getting a real one?
The Fisherman was on the Paladin's payroll. The odds are, the Paladins couldn't open that weird temple chest thing, so they needed patsies to do it for them. If they couldn't just make the fishermen do it, it probably means that the chest wouldn't open for anyone intentionally doing it in the service of the paladins, so they needed someone unwitting, or even opposed to them to make it work.
So the Fisherman was supposed to deliver the smuggled doodad, but was bought or threatened off into participating in this charade. As reward, the people who he's probably grown to like because they willingly helped save his family, were probably supposed to be spared. Or something. We'll never know since he caught a bullet.
It comes down to the obvious endpoint, the Paladin wanted the item so he could destroy it and steal some of the power of the god it represents, which judging from the power it granted him, was something lovecraftian and terrible in the extreme.

what would happen if you gave the paladin an item that did not represent power but weakness? if iconoclasm is their key to power, wouldn't breaking something that represented to opposite make him weaker?

>>22578919
>He's the one who said, most vehemently, that we should never go to /tg/
He probably tried to run a game on suptg IRC where all the worst people from /tg/ are collected in one place for your "enjoyment."

Glorious are the Ori, who lead us to salvation, who did fight the evil that would doom us all to mortal sin. Did they defeat the old spirits and cast them out? And now, with the strength of our will, they do call upon us to prevail against the corruption of all unbelievers.

>>22580450
It might make them weaker, or it might give them some sort of power over sacrifice. Like, if you gave one a Crucifix, maybe breaking it would give him the power to absorb the sin out of everyone around him. That could either be really bad for him, or REALLY good for him, depending on who gets to define 'sin' in that arrangement.

I can't actually think of many icons of weakness off the top of my head though.

You could give him a Buddhist symbol. What's he going to do, reincarnate himself at you?

No. He'd just achieve Satori, giving him permanent True Seeing and Ubiquitous Vision equivalents.

>>22580702
Why are you saying that like that's not the scariest thing ever? Now the guy can come back from the dead in different bodies over and over to convert more people. If he was hard to kill before, what do you do now that killing him accomplishes nothing?

>>22580645
How about a jar of agony from the god of pain? one so its user could only feel new and horrifying depths to pain, it was made so his followers could touch it and feel crippling agony, let old pally smash that and see how he likes it

>>22580737
Add to that that reincarnation isn't even... you know... a straight line.

He could reincarnate into a body that was already born. There may be multiple reincarnations of the same person running around at the same time.

>>22580776
Makes sense that it'd work. But I'd want to experiment with it, to see if they have some way of twisting powers to their advantage, or if it's an involuntary thing that can fuck them over.
Because if they can control it, that means that this guy now has control over pain, which is another horrible superpower in his repertoire.
If it worked though, it'd be the equivalent of religious landmines. Or those little bastard spiked balls in Kirby.

>>22580835
or it could be like a sieve that drains power and his very essence into millions of different beings until the form as a god he currently exists in ceases to exist, if he takes the power of symbols then he must take all of them not just the ones he wants

Dude, Buddhism has some pretty strong shit.

Though given his predilections the Paladin guy might turn into an Asura. Won't be the worst you'll face out of the entirety of Buddhism, but given the system it'll probably fuck OP's party's face off forever and launch into new levels of terrifying.

Playing in a world with no hell, and then having a group introduce one? One where people they don't like go? Your GM is a bastard of the highest caliber, and I respect that.

Something tells me that palading campaign is not going to get a happy ending

This is amazing, and I am totally stealing this idea for my campaign.

This is an insane campaign. And your GM is wonderful.

What a cunt.

Are your Players SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD?
Cause that sound a lot like Kore from Goblins

>>22578919
>my friends told me this place was just that but worse.

Redditors are retards.

>>22582990
Probably said it so we didn't get more retards.

/v/ being so open made it where /r9k/ all went when /r9k/ was shut down, see? Gotta be a little bit elitist.

This is pretty fucking awesome

>>22583287
I know people who are absolutely terrified of 4chan anything and refuse to touch it with an 11 foot laser pole, does that mean that its working?

This should have been obvious from "flaming swords" and the fact that this god kills and consumes the domains of other gods alone.

Actually, it was because I post here myself constantly, and often post chunks of rather plot-sensitive stuff from my campaign to get feedback or gauge realistic reaction from neutral parties. In the past, my players (all /tg/ browsers) always knew what I was going to do before I did it, which was aggravating. So I acquired a second group of local smokies who weren't channers.

Until now. Never thought it'd be me reading his thoughts, though. I'll have to be careful in the future, but at least I know people like the campaign ideas. People really like the campaign ideas. Dayum.

>>22585120
I recognize that Joaquin Phoenix motif. You're one of Galt's men. You have some explaining to do mister.

>>22585120
Tell us more. Confirm or deny things. Is the big bad deity the Abrahamic god? Because that's what we're all thinking right now.

>>22585322
I am. And you will have a short explanation. Galt is off fighting a land war in Asia (figuratively speaking,) I'm holding his group together and recruiting new blood. My efforts are proceeding to my satisfaction, which is all that really matters to me. If it is inevitable that /tg/ becomes known to my new players, then so be it. You'll learn all about the campaign from them in due time, if I know them.

Galt lives. And all is known to him, including the release of Blade of the Iron Throne. Our remake is still in the works. But at this point, we have missed deadlines, and broken promises. His shame keeps him silent. I will not speak on his behalf.

Demand of me nothing. What you know, you know. From this moment on, I shall never speak a word.

>>22585120

You're the DM? Well, you've got one hell of a campaign going on, but I think you might want to look into something called "reverse psychology".

We await his return with great interest. Also, bomb campaign champ.

>>22585712
Evidently.

Do you, as DM, know a way to beat your creation?
I doubt the moral clarity of such storytelling. But it´s awesome. I wish you that you must never pull a deus ex machina on your enduring players.

>>22578714
This is sounding a bit like HL2

Could someone please screencap OP's story? I'd do it, but I'm on my phone.

I tell everybody who I would never want to see on 4chan that this is a terrible place that I only go to because I'm a masochist who hates myself.

I'm only half lying. But the point is is that 4chan is intentionally painted as the "asshole of the internet" so we don't get a flood of morons like who have infested Reddit. We also have /b/, which contains most of the ones we do get.

This is most noticeable on /jp/. Most of you probably conceive of /jp/ as this terrible place where only strange Touhou-playing pedophiles hang out at. You'd be right, except for the first part. /jp/ is actually a really friendly place that's actually really fun to hang out in, but we intentionally make you believe we're a bunch of hostile jackasses for the express purpose of keeping everybody we don't want out. If you're a cool enough guy to check out /jp/ and not get pushed out by the hostility we present to anybody who is obviously an outsider, then you will quickly come to love and enjoy /jp/. It really is a wonderful place.

I mean it's terrible. Don't ever fucking go on /jp/. It's a fucking shit board. It's just a bunch of weird lolicons fapping to kigurumi.

>>22592072
don't explain /jp/ to people from other boards

HOLY DUCKFUCK this is awesome.

Capped. Poorly.

Dude, you probably have malware on your computer.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.

>>22595839
What, seriously?

>>22595839
If someone wants to cap it without those retarded things, I'd encourage them to. Does sort of make reading it weird.

>>22595839
/tg/: looking out for you. The bro-est of boards.

>>22595875
Yeah. Google
> random double underlined words
The top results are all forum posts that quickly receive the answer: check for malware.
>>22595965
I'll do that for you guys. Should be ready in a few minutes.
