>damn, that was fast

The battle has rendered the Noiralev useless, but you managed to safely guide the craft to one of many stone plataeus in the Shiprakers, an isolated and desolate region where Tarun Gakth meets the sea. You've convinced your fellows that the best place to set up something more permanent for your renegades and refugees is in the Great Forest. The spirit mages, led by Hamil, are currently putting together a mass teleport spell to bring you there.

You've started scouting the surroundings, hoping to find some trace of Steward or his proclaimed home, City 001. You found a few robots - but they weren't friendly. They claimed to be working under Steward...but frankly, you don't know enough to draw any conclusions.

>>25478423
CAP'T WAIT YOU FORGOT YOUR TOWEL I MEAN MIDDLE NAME!

>I'm afraid that servanting Ila will lead to the rest of the mages falling over themselves to impress us in the hope of being the next Servant. Our ideal society of freedom might well devolve into the political backstabbing bunch of pricks that was the Dawnflight.

AND THIS! LETS MAKE THIS THREAD
PRODUCTIVE!

Early bird Eurofag here to help the sensible Americlaps in keeping Shadow acting smart !

Ability Tree

GREEN abilities have been unlocked and learned.

BLUE abilties are unlocked, but are not yet purchased.

RED abilities are revealed, but locked due to prerequisites.

UNDERLINED abilities are active-use, as opposed to passive. Not all active abilities require mana.

Unlocked Ability Descriptions:

http://pastebin.com/zYkUY1zM

Books the Main Character has read:

http://pastebin.com/dAXR00gP


-----------
Active (intent-use abilities that don't require mana)
-----------

Consume - Devour the latent energy of enemies and magical artifacts to add to your own power and restore your health.

Glide - Your aura allows you to glide, dropping safely from large heights or covering large distances if starting from a high position. Gliding is always stealthier than flying.

Flight - Spread wings of darkness to soar through the air. Carrying capacity is based on physical strength.

Supersonic - Fly at supersonic speeds. You'll move extremely fast, but suffer a large penalty to stealth and magic stealth. Takes 1 turn to activate.

Mimic - Take on the vague form of things you've seen. Won't stand up to close examination, but works well in the dark.

Snuff - You shadow can put out the lights it touches.

Blink - Sight-range teleportation. (Cannot blink through walls, through the ground, into places you can't see, etc. 5-turn cooldown in battle. Auto-cooldown if battle ends. You can only Blink yourself and inanimate objects on your person. Max range 1/4 mile or 0.4 kilometers)

Focus - With a burst of concentration, you can significantly improve your detection of both the mundane and magical, but you also drastically increase the risk of giving yourself away. (think sonic ping)

Deep Focus - Long-range focus with heightened detection and scouting ability, but with a correspondingly higher chance of revealing yourself.

Berserk - Ignore your defenses and strike all around you in a vicious physical assault. Difficult to determine friend from foe.

Something to consider for Legion:

We can remove the power given to a servant at any time.

I bet we could use that somehow when he finally gets 100% out of the nether and we have to fight.

AAAND we're knee deep in waifu/anti-waifu shit by post five.

Probably my favourite fanart of this quest, strangely enough.

File: 1371436868984.jpg-(681 KB, 2048x1536, The Elements.jpg)

681 KB JPG

Shadow Eater - Eat an enemy's shadow for a small heal. Their shadow will regenerate over the course of a day. However, things might turn sour if they notice their shadow is missing...

Doom Aura - Puts out all lights in an area at once. Large penalty to dodge if used during battle.

Compress - By sacrificing strength and defense, you can compress yourself and your aura to the size of a small mouse, greatly increasing dodge and physical and magical stealth. Warning: requires a turn to activate and deactivate.

-----------
Spells (and other abilities that DO use mana)
-----------

Shadow Strike - Strike the foe with needles of darkness. (base power 2. Costs 2 mana)

Shadow Assault - Launch a flurry of shadowy projectiles at the enemy. (base power 4. Costs 4 mana. Can hit multiple enemies)

Shadow Beam - A concentrated beam of shadow power. Attacks faster than shadow strike/assault, and is more accurate. (Costs 6 mana; 6 base damage)

Nightflare - Disrupt target spell or enchantment. (costs 2 mana)

Nightblaze - Cancel enchantments and spells in an area around you. Success and range based on mana spent. (Spend 4 to 10 mana. Radius: 30 feet. Additional 20 feet per mana. Alternate: Spend 10 mana to attempt to cancel any one single spell in sight-range with a greatly enhanced success rate)

Shadowmeld - Magic-based stealth. Pay any amount of mana. Physical and magical stealth increases based on how much mana was spent until stealth is broken. Can be used to re-stealth mid-battle.

Shade - Create an illusory projection of yourself to confuse enemies. (dodge buff. Costs 1 mana)

Spirit Whip - Lash the enemy with a whip of spirit magic. (base power 2. Costs 2 mana)

I woke up at 6am for this, SM. Honoured? Brushing my teeth atm too.

Someone made a list of ongoing tasks of varying importance, I cleaned up the list and sorted them to groups by relation:

Personal:
>Get our stuff back from Yi Fang
>Make sure Abigail is okay with Yi Fang
>Murder Yi Fang if she's not
>Deal with Flint's parasite
>Get Yi Fang’s help in finding the Staff of the Winds

Elemental:
>Free Geb, make a new friend (Have a fallback solution - bind, CONSUME, etc)
>Get all keys, find out what the Spirit thing is

Political/Leaders:
>Find out situation in Kelvere, is the Duke really dead?
>Find out what else the Duke was hiding from us
>Get information on Sandalphon’s movements and the Light empire’s situation
>Get in contact with Steward/City 001
>Find out what the hell’s up with the Black Lady. Can she be trusted?
>Get Obis his throne back
>Ask the Elven Queen some very pointed questions about our memories

Misc/Faction:
>Find Joey
>Fortify our current position
>Research how Servant works, make sure it won't cause unrest among people
>Research Dynamos
>Assure peaceful co-existence of differently aligned mages

OOC:
>Deal with summerfriends making bad decisions on purpose

Potential new tasks:
>End Skysever (we have read that the spell is physically located somewhere and visible, yet hard to access)
>Deal with Legion
>Explore, this world feels small
>Find more fragments of Shadow
>Find the other Elementals
>Convince Flint to become the leader of his people, after the parasite has been dealt with
>Find what happened to the Dwarves
>Find out about the Presence we felt when using Focus in the Shadow temple underneath Tarun Gakt


Remember all of these have direct and indirect solutions. For instance, the keys: We could just go in and take them by storm, sneaking around and killing those who spot us, but do we want that? Would it help upkeep our image as a good-intending catalystic force, or would we appear as self-righteous destroyers? Atlantis is believed to have a key. Too bad for us, their water supply relies on it.

HAHA TIME FOR SHADOW QUEST

Fuckin' A.

>>25478480
I made a bit longer version in my free time, as you perhaps noticed. Noscript blocked my posting attempts (new XSS on 4chan, go to find a safe way to unblock it) so it took a few attempts.

Same as last thread, why I don't want to servant Ila.

Right now, she's the representative of the Shadow mages. She has been for quite some time now, both in the ringed city and here. They look up to her, and trust her, more than anybody else. Whether she's servanted or not won't change that.

If you want someone to guard the camp, I think it can already guard itself pretty well. It's not a particularly big risk we're taking in not having a servant guard the camp.

The need to servant isn't particularly pressing right now. We need to remove Flint's parasite, and it's unlikely anyone we servant will be with us. We should save the exp for our own use for now, at least.

>>25478454
Some one around here has to make sure these yanks aren't totally pants on heads retarded. Might as well be us

>>25478440

I voted against servanting Ila, but as a matter of it not really being the right time.

As the de facto leader of the freed mages, she probably is our best choice so far.

If we are planning on servanting her, or anyone for that matter, we should talk with them about it for a while, in detail, before we act.

It's not like the mana pool or our exp is going to rot.

>>25478522
Similar reasons to this.

Texan here stop calling me a Yank europoor

Personally I think we have been neglecting the summoning line of upgrades myself

>>25478497
This is a sensible list. Let's follow this.

Oh hells yeah. All these bros saying to not servant Ila, fuck yeah.

Together, we can defeat the knob nibblers.

>>25478560
Snapple draws way better than that in fairness anon

>>25478560
Rev up them shadowruns.

>>25478582
Enough about the goddamn knob knibbling. Let's be focused. Today, we deal with the parasite.

>>25478497
I have to say I do enjoy the look of this list and think SM should adopt it as the offical Shadow quest list of stuff we want to do.

>>25478601
Indeed. Productivity, HO!

>>25478575
I dont think sm would have included an entire section to the tech tree, that if used, would have such dire consequences. I think people are overreacting with the waifu servant stuff.

>>25478567
Come at me taxes bro. I'm several thousand miles away what you gonna do?

>>25478560
Funnily enough, he's drawn more for this quest than anyone else I think. Even if most of it is just godawful doodles.

>>25478601
Can we do that by tracking down Yi Fang? I want to see Abby.

That also covers the Staff of Winds too.

>>25478497
Thanks for putting this together.

Sorry the thread is too busy going apeshit for this to get recognized.

Current priority seems to be sorting out our mistake from last thread with the rebel robots and contacting City 001.
We should probably work towards it while we are in the area, and we have a bit less than two weeks.

As for servant madness, lets just talk with her about it.
It's not like we are going to drag her to the pool and servant her without talking once.

Also, love the GIF.

I'm here! Lets do this!

>>25478601
Let's negotiate with the orcs. We are heading into terretory with a large amount of orc raiders, we should see if a couple of them want to come along with us.

>>25478628
The only known way to remove the parasite is by consulting Yi Fang. Let's do that asap. Let's get shit done, tg.

>>25478616
Hm?

>>25478522
It's quite logical and very far from an "overreaction."
And the less anyone mentions the W the better. Know better.

>>25478628
We will have to go to fangy anyway. Crazy fortune teller hobo said so.

>>25478596
Really? Everything he's drawn for SQ has been pretty crummy.

>>25478575

Pfff, summoning in general has showing itself as a poor investment, unreliable at best and very dangerous at worse. Traditional magic has a bigger priority than that flawed school.

>>25478642
We can do that after we settle in Felnoir. There are orcs there, too anyway.

I just realized, since geb has been suspended in the air since the elementomachy, he should have been ripped to all hell by the skyserver, and there is a good chance that all that's left is his dead bits floating around.

>>25478616
Yeah, at this point I don't think we need to servant anyone, but once we decide to hand out some buffs to loyal followers, I don't think we need to worry about shit like Legion happening to us. We aren't Erebus, etc.

>>25478642
It's worth a shot. Improving human/orc relations could go a long way in not dying by a big fucking ax in the middle of the night.

>>25478601
No. If you ignore the nibblers, they will fester and destroy the quest. We need to smack them down now. Hard and decisive. Crush their dreams of getting with Ila and end it once and for all.

>>25478648
Finding the keys and freeing the spirit under Jacobs Field is the other way.
No matter what route we take to free Flint of his parasite he'll still need to go home to Arland to deal with it-as far as the seer said.

>>25478675
He wasn't suspended in the air, just chased the fuck around for all eternity by a giant ass tornado or some shit

Even if we don't servant up Ila right now I still think we should go to that cavern and get that sweet EXP from that golem

Also, I imagine Texas as a place where everyone is like Hank Hill. Have you ever uttered "Don't mess with Texas?"

>>25478670
[sarcasm]Bitch, are you dissing Wisp-Bro?[/sarcasm]

>>25478685
The fastest way is probably through Yi Fang. The fire key is probably in Kan-Abar and we may have to put Obis back in power to obtain it.

>>25478688
I thought he was up in the tornado, seperated from the ground as punishment for the dwarven airships?

>>25478685
Yi Fang has one of the keys, if I remember correctly. Honestly, Yi Fang is related to so many of our different objectives that he should definitely be our first priority, anyway.

>Ila's already flying to the cavern with us
>We're gonna take the orb and top off mana
So, what's our reason for bringing her? What are we gonna tell her we brought her there for? Or are we just gonna have her stand there wondering what the fuck just happened?

>>25478670
How do you know man? we haven't used any. We don't even have to go near Demons there is like three paths of summons. And wisp bro really really helped us out by finding Flint.

>>25478714
It's more of a matter if he's willing or not, he has our stuff anyways so we still need to go to him, I suppose trying both at the same time would be wise.

While I think we should investigate the consequences by servanting people with Auriel, I think having a more powerful agent that could do stuff for us individually would be good, our backlog just keeps growing and a servantized Ila would be useful for getting shit done.

That said, I think we should go for Eclipse, since we have a shadow mage army, shit will explode if we use that!

>>25478677

Still, I think is wiser to wait a little longer before making her a servant. Hell I don't even like how that sounds at all.

>>25478688

It's more like he's caught within a never-ending tornado. While driven mad by the Light-based parasite.

Yeah. Poor Geb.

------------
------------

There was some discussion about putting together a list of goals to help questers keep their eye on the ball. I took the liberty of doing so. Let me know if there's anything I've missed.

Active Goals

1) Sir Donovan Flint's Parasite - Flint's parasite, a demon known as a Shel'Kath, must be removed. You've learned that the lich Yi Fang knows how to remove it.

2) Abigail's Education - Hopefully, Abigail is safe and learning to control her powers in Archon's Scholomance...but you've heard it's a dangerous place.

3) I want my stuff back! - You left your utility belt in Yi Fang's keeping, and you want it back.

4) The Staff of Winds - To free the earth elemental, the sage Taremtis told you to acquire the Staff of Winds - and that Yi Fang would be vital to doing so.

5) The Four Keys - Four magic keys lock the great vault under Jacob's Field which contains a great Spirit power of an unknown nature.

6) City 001 - You want to locate Steward and find out if the constructs will become your ally...but the robots are a complicated bunch, sometimes aggressive, and always secretive.

7) The Throne of Kan-Abar - Obis seeks to regain his throne. It has been foretold he will parish in the attempt without your help.

8) Establishing Independence - You've freed the Shadow and Spirit mages from the clutches of the Ring City, and they see you as their leader. How will you lead them?

9) Who is the Black Lady? - You've heard her name spoken across the land in fear and respect - the greatest Shadow mage of the modern age. Is she an ally, filtered through the lens of war and propaganda...or exactly as terrible a foe as advertised?

10) Elven Inquisition - You know not what you truly are; your memories were sealed away. You want to find the elf you believe responsible and ask her some very pointed questions.

Among others.

We could use the opportunity to get to know IIa the person better and ask pointed question into her suitability of being out first servant. I see us using the servant ability to create something like an order of knight that will uphold shadows own morals: Justice and order.

>>25478760
Not consumed, anon, peppered. Descriptors matter.

>>25478729
We tell her that in the future, if people ever stop crying waifu all the time, we might servant her up here

>>25478754
Which in turn is being powered by our bro-est bro Flintbro

We achieve the first 3 with a quick trip to Archon. Let's do it.

Notes on forces:

Airship crew: 34 men and women - elite soldiers specially trained to operate airship systems

Shadow Mages: 329 - shadow mages of varying strengths, trained as assassins, spies, and field support.

Spirit Mages: 34 - Spirit mages that perform specialized tasks for the empire, including summoning, mental interrogation, and teleportation. Untrained for battle, but not defenseless.

>>25478752
Yeah, for sure. I don't even know if Ila is the best choice, or who else would be a good candidate. It can wait for now, but once we get to it we shouldn't worry too much. Worst case scenario, something goes wrong and we start to CONSUME.

>>25478754

Speaking about finding Steward, maybe we having doing it wrong all this time. Lest try to find another huge robot with a core, it was Steward who came to us after we got retrieve a core.

>>25478783
That's what we might see it as, but humans are petty and fight over power ups very easily.

>>25478831
>Engine is intact; rest of ship is pretty busted up. Weapons systems are slag, and the hull and shielding systems are heavily damaged. Won't be flying soon.
That's nice. What about the teleporter?

Alright.

We talk with Ila, see what she thinks about servanting, and go from there.

We keep looking for more robots; if we find city 001 or it's bots, good. If we find 002 rebels, more cores and EXP for us.

Once we get to the forest, we will be in place to zip over to Archon and bug Yi Fang + meet up with Abby.

Checking out the situation in Kelvere can come whenever we have a free moment.

>>25478851

I believe I stated it was fried by your overcharge.

>>25478866
I don't want to spend another thread with bad rolls and accomplishing almost nothing.

Let's go and deal with Flint's parasite, now. Servanting is hardly a priority compared to that.

>FINALLY
>Last time...

Two days pass. You scout across Tarun Gakth for signs of robots, going deeper into unknown territory.

You find a lone repair construct, trundling along. You land next to it. It ignores you, and keeps walking forward. Eventually, it reaches a wall, and simply walks into the wall. It falls over, gets up, and then walks into the wall again.

You put the construct out of its misery, and consume it, but you don't feel all that much stronger.

>HP: (37/56)

You're walking through the Noiralev when you hear some shouting. It's coming from a room with a door slightly ajar. Bright light burns within.

You peer inside the door. Several mages of all elements are packed inside, many of them with ignorance potions from the Noiralev's stash. Tyrael and Hamil are huddled over a board filled with stones. It's an odd shape, very different from the one you played with the Duke. Several empty glasses sit on the table next to them, clustered around a pile of money.

Hamil grins, then moves a set of stones over. There's a moment of silence, and then Tyrael slumps over, defeated. Half the room groans while the other half cheers. You suppose he made some move that decided the game.

>>25478890

You find Ila outside, helping herself to few gulps of water. You walk up to her group of mages - which, you notice, with a bit of satisfaction, holds an angel. You get her attention, then motion away. She walks over to you.

"Shadow?"

What do you say?

>bring her aside; it's time you learned more about each other.
>take her to Refuge. Your chosen leader must have the strength to lead
>ask her something unrelated (write-in)
>something else

>>25478866
Oh, quick thought, only elemental lords can do the servant thing right? How are those angels going to react to suddenly being on the side of the Shadow Element Lord? Some I'm sure will be less than thrilled...

I'm not saying not to do empower Ila, I'm just saying that we might want a frank discussion with (at minimum) Auriel so she has some time to acclimatize her people to the idea.

>>25478904

That's exactly what i was suggesting.

We need some in-character time to discuss this with her...

>>25478904
>bring her aside; it's time you learned more about each other.

Which is what we should do.

i dont think even aproaching the idea of servant is good right now. if she knows we can do it then it might be interpreted as a slight when we dont

Eh guys, regarding the servanting. If we do go through with it(though I am against it), lets ask Ila to keep this a secret, for now. We don't want it to become common knowledge that we are capable of bestowing power.

>>25478970
This.

>>25478904
>>bring her aside; it's time you learned more about each other.

>>25478977
Agreed. Let's hear her answers, then do it later when we know her more then two weeks.

>>25478904
Talk to her.

When / if we get to the shadow pool, we really need to let her know to let go of revenge.

Don't do as the angels did and hold on to the past. Break the cycle of abuse and hatred, because justice is not only shifting the wrong to another side.

>>25478977
We've already told her it's a possibility, about two threads ago.

We can also promise she'll lose her powers if she or ANYONE ELSE will be dicks about it. Let it be known this is a test to see if people can play nice, unlike the last time.

>>25478998
This please. I'd like to use the exp on an emergency purchase when we are in Archon.

>conceal flint, walk into Arland, and deal with the parasite with great stealth

>>25478970
Seconded. If we like her answers, we'll do it after we get to the forest.

>What I imagine servant will kinda maybe look like.

>>25478904
We should still go to CONSUME that golem at some point. It will only take like twenty minutes

>>25478984
May or may not be a problem as we told about it in front of other Shadow mages if I remember correctly and we don't know if she has told anyone else.

>>25479013
Let's find out first if we CAN remove the blessing BEFORE we give it.

Just shoot the shit with her, so to speak.

DO NOT TAKE HER TO REFUGE.

We should not be Servant'ing ANYONE right now. Especially with all these starstruck shadow mages that would vie for our attentions.

Whether Shadow is more attentive than Erebus or not, he can not change the nature of man.

>>25479044
It's the descriptor text on the ability.

>>25479044
Read the pastebin. It's very clear that we can.

You take Ila aside, near the edge of the plateau.

<It seems Hamil and Tyrael have found a bit of common ground.>

"Really?"

You nod. <Stones.>

Ila smiles. "Hamil likes his games. I was never one for it...but I'd bet on him, occasionally."

<You bet?> you ask.

"We didn't have much entertainment," she says quietly. "...our rooms, single-man cells where the sewers met the mana center. We couldn't speak with one another, so it was all finger talk, hidden in corners where they couldn't see. We had lookouts, just to play stones. Just to play a game." She smiles. It's half grim, and half nostalgic. "We used chalk we stole while out on missions. Easy to rub away, wash off with sewer water. Played plenty of games, stones included. Easy to get makeshift pieces for a simple game like that."

<...what did you wager?>

"Rations, mostly." She looks at you. "What did you want to talk about?"

>writing my own ideas
>if there's anything in particular you'd like to ask, please write it

>>25479044
SM said we could

>>25479037
Jealousy is a dangerous thing...

>>25479032
We don't even know if that golem is still there, there was definately something else down there that wasn't exactly friendly with us, and whatever that was might have wrecked that golem.

>>25479060

Repeating so SM does not miss it.
>>25479054

>>25478984
Good job keeping your head on, being against something and still able to think about it rationally. Shame we couldn't have this last thread.

No matter who we eventually, hypothetically servant, keeping it relatively hidden is a good idea. Just be sure not to hide it TOO long, lest someone suddenly find out we have an army of servants at our beck and call.

>>25479037
We talked about sharing our power, yeah. Could be a problem...

>>25479066
I would hope we're smart enough to put down any stupid competitions for attention before they start. Erebus had this problem because he didn't care about people, we're learning to merge with them.

>>25479060
<I will be leaving with Sir Flint for Archon soon. Take care of your people well Ila. Farewell>

Get to Archon, get this quest back on the road. Time for some action!

>>25479060
Talk about what she wants to do now that she has her life back. Ask if she might be able to find forgiveness in her life to those who wronged her.

>>25479076
I thought that was Isolation? It wouldn't take fifteen minutes to check anyway

>>25479085
>we're learning to merge with them.

We should definately bring Ila with us, time to get to know each other, it will also give us some insight into what the shadow mages think and what they expect of us.

>>25479060
We need to find out about her whole view of justice vs revenge.

Not sure about the exact wording, but something along the lines of asking her about how she would act should the light fall from it's current dominance.

>>25479112
After we consumed Isolation, we used Focus and found something looking back at us. And we fled the temple as if we were afraid of dark.

>>25479029
Anyway someone could swap out the red (kinda taken by Fire) for some of the purple/violet that's associated with us? She's going to be a representative of Shadow after all.

>>25479112
Might as well. We could go negotiate with the orcs if we did that as well.

>>25479060
And idea is our last question should be a what if scenario. We have gained quite a bit of power, people who follow us, and have our own set of morals. But to accomplish our goal we must take on the forces of the entire world to make things right. What would she do with such power and responsibility?

Really? I've always imagined a servant as someone like Death from Darksiders, chopping angel wings off with some impressive acrobatical movements.

>>25479131
I recall fleeing because SM greentexted
>being this retarded
Below the "wait for it to come" option.

>>25479094

This.

Ask her to give her Mages strength and storng leadership. She must be unflinching in her support of Flint and Auriel.

>>25479112
No, there was something else in there that chased us out after we CONSUMED Isolation. It was something from the deeps that chased us out.

>>25479094
Right, leave our people without the best defenses possible after giving there rough location to city 002. Very smart since its not like well need an army of the living down the road...

>>25479160
Yeah I remember that. Hopefully (assumption) we're strong enough to face whatever that may have been.

>>25479131
Fuck that shit. Were pretty fucking beast right now after we sort out flint we should definitely check that shit out.

>>25479101
This one. If she want's to start a family and protect people, mention that it's something that she has in common with Auriel.

>Not wanting to go and consume that other deep shadow for another shard.

>>25479094
While I to want to get this show on the road I think it's important we look over everyone until they are about ready to leave. Having crazy robots from city 002 doesn't help.

>>25479060

I know is hard to ask but tell of the battle on ring city. I am glad that you are all free now but I am not naive to think it was a bloodless revolution. Do you know how many were away on missions? And...how many did not make it to the ship? I am responsible for their deaths as well.

>>25479094
Slow down, skippy. Not yet.

>>25479214
>>25479101
Also mention (if it's appropriate) that forgiveness is something for yourself, to get peace out of what has hurt you.
Though I've no idea how shadow would say that or if it understand humanity enough to say so.

>>25479218
>Implying it's just a deep shadow and not something far more monstrous.

>>25479085
We probably will end up using servant on her at some point.

The concern I have is if it is the right time and the right circumstances.
If we servant one person, we should probably servant multiple people, and pick up some servant branch powers so they have more than enhanced shadow power and endurance.

The sense, multishade, and shadow eater seem like good options, considering the other tow cost more, and we don't want to cause people to share our resists/weaknesses until we buy off out light weakness.

>>25479094
>>25479166
This is probably the best-case i can think of. Giving a bit of extra power and then leaving her to lead her people as she has for years.

>>25479191
That's why we solve this city 002 problem first, before anything else.
If we can't solve it by teleport time, well then we are out of harm anyway.

>>25479218

I think that it's a pretty bold assumption that it was another Shadow, bro.

>>25479191
>implying they can't take care of themselves when virtually everyone is a mage

fuck you, stop babysitting them

>>25479224
Good idea. After she tells us how many, we'll set up a ceremony for all of those who didn't make the excape, regardless of elemental/political affiliation.

>>25479191

>our people
>we'll need an army

THEY ARE THE ARMY.

>>25479246
Wasn't it later implied to be Legion? Maybe I'm just making too great a leap after the whole Michael thing.

>>25479268
>Fighting against a rogue robot army of thousands.

GENIUS!

>>25479246
Could be a dragon
>>25479254
Have to agree. Even though I advocated giving Ila a power boost to help keep the place safe they aren't exactly soft

>>25479246
Mhmm. The timorian deep held all sorts of different monsters.

Fortunately, we are much stronger than we were then, taking down cave creeps, of any size, shouldn't be too hard, especially with a mana pool right there.

Our main worry would be not collapsing the cave of the pool, considering it got dangerously close to doing so when we fought the Lonely Shadow.

>>25479283
We never found out what it was.

The only thing that may have been legion but what never proven to be what the "presence" that we felt inside the dying demon lord.

>>25479191
There are literally over 300 shadow mages alone there, the camp is probably one of the highest concentration of military power on the continent at the moment.

>>25479268
I agree with the sentiment, but Shadow Mages are more like Navy Seals and Angels are more like Marines. Army is ground holdind foot soldiers, what we have are specialized fighters of awesome.

>>25479191
Which is why they aren't defenseless without us.

>>25479268
Remember, City 001 was made up of robots numbering somewhere in the hundred thousands.

I don't like those odds.

>>25479268
And I'm suggesting that if city 002 throws something at our army while we and Flint are gone, it might minimize casualties on our side if we improved their defense capabilities somehow.

>>25479283
Legion is apparently banished to the demon realm, which is why Micheal was being manipulated by him(from his wound by the demon king) and why he showed up trying to desummon the succubutt.

OH SHIT! Auriel was wounded by a demon king too!

>>25479296
Assumptions anon.

>>25479324
buy shadow turrets and make a line across the desert to the camp?

<My plans,> you say. <I have business to attend to with Sir Flint...among others, that I consider friends. I have no wish to lead as some sort of dictator. I freed you to be free, not to follow my commands. With that said, I am happy to guide and protect those that seek my protection and guidance. I am glad that you all put your faith in me. I will do my best.> You turn away from the view of the sea and look at her. <The others look to you as an authority. That is important.>

"...they do."

<Why is that?>

"...I am strong, in magic. That's one reason. I try to be fair. I...I try to like people. I have friends among them." She folds her arms. "Some scoffed, when I was optimistic about our lives, and our situation. I tried to stay positive, though...at times...it was impossible." She brings a hand to her face, hiding it from your sight. "...I'm not sure if I believed my own words. They weren't for me. They were for the younger ones, really."

<You were strong, when others were weak,> you say. <So they respect you.> You glance back toward the Noiralev. <I haven't noticed many younger mages...none less than sixteen years.>

"...they were targeted in the fighting at the city," she whispers.

<...I see. Do you hate them?>

"The angels?" she asks. You nod. "...I guess I do. I can't help but hate them. They stole my life from me. From all of us. I can barely look Auriel in the face. But a month ago, she ordered me about like a dog."

<...she is a stubborn one,> you admit. <But honest. She called me an evil monster right to my face.>

Ila laughs bitterly. "Did she?"

You smile. <And now...she has changed her mind.>

"I would not believe it had I not seen it for myself," Ila says. "But it must be true..." She gestures at the wrecked airship. "...because here we are."

And if necessary...I feel that I may be the one to change it. Otherwise, those I care for will never be truly safe.> You shake your head. <There is no place for hatred in such a shelter. We must accept all those who come in peace. I won't ask you to forgive, or forget. But you must stay your hand from acts of vengeance.>

"...I don't want to kill any more," she says. "I just...I will help you build your shelter, Shadow. Maybe then I can unlearn my hatred. But I cannot act as if what happened to me and mine did not occur."

<I will never ask you to do so. But will you accept all those that come to your doorstep? As I feel I must?>

Ila hesitates for a moment, then she looks at you and gives you a firm nod. "I must. Or I would be no better than my captors. If I refused, then truly, I would be changed by them, to be like them."

>>25479060
I leave for a few minutes and all this happens...

Why don't we ask her about what she thinks about the current situation? If we know the balance between the angels and shadow mages better it would be better to figure out if we would cause any kind of upset if we would make Ila stronger.

>>25479378
>>leave it at that, for now. You've other tasks to accomplish

>>25479375

Yeah, they need to be nerfed.

I'll probably set a timer on their existence, unless they're magically connected to a nearby mana pool. Because that's rather how my other magitek works anyway.

>>25479380
Wrong part of the assumption, anon. It was that they- when having stated that their interest in large scale conflicts was limited and heavily voted against would stage large attacks against us, or anywhere for that matter.

>>25479378
>offer to make her your servant

because why not

>>25479378
Ask her if she would like or need the power from servant.

We already told her we could grant her power, we should at least be open about it.

Don't try and force it on her, but let her know that it is an option. If she accepts, then we can empower her now, if she declines, we have a bunch of exp free for use.

Opinions are torn. Therefore, I call on the choice I like best: explaining your intentions, and letting her decide for herself.

Roll 1d20 for me.

Lets hear what she says before making a decision.

>>25479518
I'm not sure shadow pools work like that.

Luckily, it was a d100.

>things I never thought I'd say.

>>25479610
So damn lucky he didn't call for 1d100.

>>25479610
No servanting today, given this.

>>25479610
Oh, thank god. It's a 1d100.

ha, rolls 1 with d100 on a d20 roll
>I laugh

Rolled 12

>>25479597
It would only hurt someone who physically touched the pool. If someone can't refrain from touching things they should not, then the engine room is clearly not for them.

>>25479634
Don't get your hopes up, it was a d100.

>>25479620
Ah a fellow European.

>>25479616

We were pretty vague before.

>>25479620
Which from his description mentioned being changed to "needing a power source"

Which could be a dynamo. I'm theorizing they are wrapped and spun mana pools anyway.

>>25479620
we cant even get the turret ability until we unlock the other side of it's skill tree

>>25479431
Can you put a mana pool on a vehicle? Does a mana pool flow like water?

What if we used a mana pool instead of a dynamo to power an airship? Or two. Or three.

All the dakka.

Whoever the anon was that wanted a recolour of that pic from red to purple, here ya go.

Man, I never knew how pleasant this quest could be when I read only the post by SM. Is this what reading archives feels like?

>>25479661
wait, does a dynamo work like a portable mana pool? If so, we need a shadow dynamo

>>25479672
Its toxic to non shadow stuff anon

>>25479665
That's why I said: >>25479539
You... double git!

>>25479685
yeah, pretty much

>>25479691
Only if they touch it. They can still be near it.

>>25479681

Can you make one in green?

Rolled 9

>>25479688
I suspect that a dynamo is just a mana pool that has been tamed by some method. Which would be one reason no one can create new dynamos, only elementals can make a mana pool.

>>25479681
Thank you much!

>>25479618
CRIT. WE KNOW ALL.

>>25479711
I want an orange one!

>>25479702
I suppose but what if they slip and fall into it while they work in the engine room or something?

>>25479700
piss off, I didn't see that alright

>>25479681
Awesome! Thanks tsunny!

>>25479720
Too bad on 1d20 only the first 5 rolls mean anything for crits.

Feels bad, man.

>>25479688
That's what dynamos are, basically.

Infinite whirling balls of power.

It wouldn't surprise me if they were made out of mana pools by the dwarves as a means of cleaning them up.

Ha. One of the great artifacts of this age is actually dwarven recycling.

>>25479608
Almost, sir
>>25479570

>>25479702
the area around it begins to negatively effect non Mr. Shadow beings

>>25479730
a safety railing?

>>25479731
Not my fault you huff glue too often you can't follow linked conversations.

>>25479730
Put up guard rails? People work around dangerous shit all the time.

>>25479759
well... well, You're a porpoise tit!

Critically bummed out...

>>25479761
I'm assuming a dynamo has similar dangerous properties to mana pools.

They just don't leak elemental power all around them.

>>25479681
I still find it funny when you do things besides shit up whatever quest you're in.

>>25479761
I'm just saying shit gets hectic in airship fights, they might get thrown over it or something

>>25479780
You're telling me, I rolled the damn thing.

>>25479730
I was thinking about this earlier. The first thing that came to mind was using bars or something that only we could get through with use of our shadowy powers like ink and compress.

>>25479810
The put walls around it. If you're getting knocked through the steel wall into the mana pool, you're probably already dead then.

Maybe a dynamo is just a mana pool that has been put inside a glass sphere and spun really hard?

It seems too obvious, though.
