Recent Events Summary:

Abigail's entrance into the Archonium was sudden, and not what you expected. She lost herself somewhere within the enchanted gateway, stuck between bits of her personality given life and pitted against one another. With no other recourse, you dived in after her.

The archonium transported you to the deep recesses of your own mind. You met with the elf queen, Ellendra Kalladar, your Humanity, and your Temerity. Queen Kalladar informed you that you were, in fact, Erebus. She split you before you could fully recover in order to give you what she termed a "choice", and informed you that the elements were an illusion. Fundamentally, there is only Order, and Chaos.

Your Humanity is something new that has coalesced inside you over time, thanks to the opportunity she granted you. Ultimately, you joined forces with it to defeat and reign in your Temerity, who has grudgingly accepted your dominance.

You managed to escape your own visions, and Humanity directed you to Abigail's location within the vast dark of the Archonium that lies between the gateways. Within her vision, 11 long years have passed. In a strange world in which she was the only source of magic, she united warring clans of monsters and beasts and ruled over them as empress. However, after forming that empire, her personality split in three, and have since been locked in an uneasy stalemate.

Two of the three sides of Abigail have been reunited. You have cornered the third in her fortress, where she seems to have prepared some sort of powerful magic. Abigail encourages you to watch her back so she can focus on her own battle, and you step up to defend her position.

Time to beat the shit out of a bunch of summons!

>Last time...

It takes you nearly a minute to trek down the vast, cavernous hall. Eventually, you reach the tall, thin doors at their end. Abigail throws them open.

Inside, the cavern narrows off and ends. The back wall looks more like a an ancient temple than the foundation of a fortress. Giant crystals scattered through the room glow blood red with magic.

The Banshee is studying one of the crystals carefully. Her hands are tapping and touching it, as if manipulating something.

"...what exactly are you planning with all this?" Abigail asks.

The Banshee slowly turns. "Our ascension."

"I don't remember wanting to ascend."

"I do."

"We will rejoin, now," Abigail says. It's a statement, but there's a slight question in the words.

"We will," the Banshee says. "But it will be on my terms." Her nails thicken into claws and begin to glow the same red as the crystals.

Abigail lifts her staff free with one hand and draws her sword with the other. "...we don't have to fight."

"Don't patronize me." The banshee gestures to the largest central crystal. "This isn't for show. You'll learn soon enough."

A howling from the hall behind you draws your attention. It's easy to sense what's coming. <...summons,> you say. <A lot of them.>

"This is my fight, Shadow," Abigail says. She doesn't take her gaze off the Banshee. "And I will win. But it would probably help if you kept that hall secure."

You order your wisp to tuck itself away and keep an eye on things. <I'll watch your back,> you tell Abigail.

<Thank you.>

"I wish I could do more, but I need my focus forward."

<You've done enough. More than enough. I know you can do this, Abby. Good luck.>

As you turn away, you see the corner of a smile on Abigail's face.

You step into the hallway.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw_mUVxIPfs

The howls you heard now have owners. A horde of monsters is coming your way - two dragons, and sprinting between their feet, a mix of ghouls and black hounds. A huge golem made of Shadows stomps behind the dragons. The air is filled with harpies and crow demons, sword-wielding revenants, and scythe-wielding reapers - and that just looks like the first wave of this mess, if your senses are accurate.

This could be challenging.

You stand alone, a small shadow before the door leading to the room behind you.

What do you do?

Enemy forces:

Fire Dragon
Spirit Dragon
Shadow Golem
Ghouls x 11
Shadow Hounds x 4
Harpies x 3
Crow Demons x 6

I think asking Silence for help would be a good thing here. He's a lot better at AoE than we are.

Also, berserk like a motherfucker - no friendlies around.

>>26436410
Oh, always so limited, SM.
>use Earthforge and Titanic

>>26436410

>Inside, in a tiny hallway.

Ha Ha SM, thought you could get us with that.

>use Nightblaze to try and banish as many summons as possible
It should take out the weaker summons, leaving the strong ones that might give EXP for us to consume.

>>26436410
There's no way we aren't using berserk.

Buy Darkness Within.

>>26436440

>>26436483
It doesn't work like that...

>>26436459
Ah, we aren't in a -tiny- hallway.

Still, we have better means of fighting these things than wasting EXP and locking our magic.

>>26436410
buy darkness within

>We don't get delicious EXP from eating the dragons.

>We can't get to the fighting abagails if we have to do something.

>>26436410
I have a strategy that should work. We buy Fast Blink, and use in with Multishade to confuse and disrupt them and bait them into hitting each other. Then, while they are distracted, take them out one at a time using Gaping Maw.

>>26436410
Voting for 10 mana nightblaze opener.
Even the odds.

>>26436458

just throwing out ideas, really

Seems like buying Darkness Within is pretty popular. But just running in at full berserk with no other plan...sounds boring. What do you combine it with?

>>26436565

mite b koul

>>26436601
>What do you combine it with?
420NIGHTBLAZEIT

And then earthforge and surge if we can I guess.

Then DW Zerk it

>>26436601
Nightblaze right before we hit them.

Any weak summons should be banished, and it would hopefully disorient the stronger ones for us to tear them apart.

>>26436601
Darkness Within is just berserk with more umph. Which means no consuming while it's active.

I say use Earthforge and Surge to close them off from each other and just Gaping Maw them all one by one.

>>26436601
Lets telepathically tell Abigail "did you know that we have eye laser beams?" So that her archonium bending thoughts give us eye lasers and then we zap them all.

>>26436601
>/tg/ will never vote to Earthforge a chokepoint -> Titanic -> Shattenkrieg
Makes me sad. Nightblaze+Berserk, then.

>>26436651
Better idea. We have god-tier light magic.

Stronger than Hyperion.

>>26436659
Can't use schattenkrieg with titanic.

>>26436651
<Abby, we killed all the summmons!>
And then the summons was kill.

>>26436644
This strategy seems like the best of those available because we actually gain exp from consuming as part of it.

>>26436651

The Abigails are canceling out each other's reality warping powers. Why do you think all the demons don't currently have eye lasers?

>>26436644
It's somewhere around 10x's the power of berserk, at the same defense penalties, if i remember SM's old posts correctly.

And we can cripple the big enemies so that we can eat them when DW is cancelable.

>>26436651
Her manipulation costs her focus, something she needs for the fight with the Banshee.

>>26436651
>implying we know what lazer beams are

Lets do this

>Earthforge the floor into narrow corridors
>Surge to flood the place
>Start spamming Schattenkrieg through the narrow corridors, which are far too thin to dodge

>>26436695

I don't think I ever put a number on it.

>Darkness Within - You are the immovable rock and the unstoppable force. Your berserk is exaggerated in all aspects (except for defense penalty, which doesn't get any worse). Minimum duration of four turns.

>>26436659
If we Nightblaze them we cant eat them. If we are berserking we cant eat them. I vote for eating them.

>>26436695
The issue is that unlike berserk we have to wait 4 turns to cancel it. Stuff that died on the first 1-3 turns wouldn't be edible anymore.

I don't even care how we kill them, I just want to kill them fast. It's possible we get to leave the Archonium tonight, and I want Abby+Fang reunite scene.

We might miss some exp, but no more than any other equally efficient method.

>>26436767
Gaping maw means we have to eat them one by one, and there are hundreds.

.

jeesh talk about subpar rolls. only 3 of the ten were above 50.

>>26437089
I'll take subpar over massive failure. At least magic is consistent.

You gather you mana and push it into the air around you. A frothing blast of water grows, then splashes down over the cave, turning the lose soil into a wet, thick mud. The flying monsters and lighter creatures like the ghouls and hounds are not much slowed, but the dragons are suddenly bogged down, growing and struggling to get their feet out. Oddly, the Shadow Golem slides over the mud without trouble...but it's already slow moving anyway.

Your Earthforge calls the stone forward. Walls and pillars of rock erupt from the ceiling and floor, growing, twisting. The spell slips from your grasp slightly, and you don't quite form a funnel with your structures - but at the least, the flying creatures are ducking and diving to get out of the way. They're split up, and there's a maze of hiding places. The section of the room directly around the door where you stand remains relatively clear. To your dismay, the reapers are able to soar straight through the physical walls.

They don't reach you first, though - the ravenous ghouls do. You haven't seen such creatures in a long time - but you remember the trouble they gave you and Flint early in your journey. You reach for more magic...

>mana: 33/48

You happily devour 5 of them as they rush you bodily. Your open maw becomes a churning ate, and they leap in without a second thought. You've erased five before they know what hit them, and you munch down two of the shadowy hounds, as well.

You try to turn yourself toward more enemies, but the last two hounds have you pinned in a pincer attack. With your magic active, you can't react in time for both. You manage to get your third hound, but the last chomps down on your backside and tears as hard as it can.

In moments, the other six ghouls are on you, ripping and tearing. Your aura struggles to deflect so many foes. You shield yourself with your limbs.

>EXP +3 (22)
>HP: 78/81

>>26437295
Alternatively, I like his idea and quoted him.

>>26437256
We have better options right now for that much EXP and mana.

Nightblaze will probably take out the weaker ones, and if we need an AOE for the strong ones we can use Shadow Blast or purchase Cone of Destruction.

>>26437256
Not a bad idea, but that might only hit them from the outside. Since we're surrounded, we might want to use something else to get them off first, then use Dark Blizzard.

>>26437342
If we were going to use such a wide-area attack, we should have done so before we created a bunch of hiding spots with Earthforge.

You leap in the air. You widen your maw, and spin the magic within you once again. You come down on the head of the last shadow hound, consuming it.

The ghouls, however, were more clever than you realized. They predicted your landing and leapt upon you as one as soon as you hit the ground. You tear and slash at them, clawing to get them off your back. They are endlessly determined, running back to attack you despite missing a leg or an arm of even half their head. Eventually, you're able to rip them to small enough pieces that they stopped moving.

You briefly consider trying to consume them, but the ghostly apparitions are upon you. The revenants glide across the ground at high speed, swords ready. One reaper each comes in from above you to your left and right. An attack from three sides.

Meanwhile, the dragons have finally gotten unstuck. They're still slowed, but they crash through your earthforged maze without much trouble. The Shadow golem is still picking its ponderous way along, but it's moments until the harpies and crows descend.

You hear several ugly roars. Three flesh golems are plunging through the deep mud behind the dragons, trying to join the fray.

Cone of destruction. It's incredibly powerful at close range, and the revanents are right on us.

Probably also useful for long term too, we tend to fight close range, so a shadow-plasma shotgun is worthwhile.

Buy Dark Blizzard and use it. We need to start finishing the water tree and we still don't have a proper AoE spell.

Use Shadow Blast or but Cone of Darkness and use it. Despite the possibility of samefagging and the guy deleting his post these two spells fit the situation perfectly.

I would say Dark Blizzard that it might be a bigger AoE spell, but cone might work well since we are in a hallway.

Shadow Blast is already an AoE close-range nuke, let's use that or Ice Blast, depending on how much mana we want to burn.

I love how Cone of Destruction gets a bonus for extreme close range, but you're having us jump back to use it.

We don't want them vaporized; we need to eat.

>>26438092
More like you realized how painfully obvious the samefaggotry was and tried to cover your ass. Again.

Nice try, Barman.

>>26438098
Because it's a cone. Farther back is more spread.

>>26438046
Cone of destruction lets us nuke the Revanents and scatter the rest of the damage unto the other summons, plus it adds another close-range magic option, and we usually fight close range.

>>26438098
I was going to say that...

But i assume it just means getting out of range of immediate swording.

>>26438098

If you don't move back you won't be able to catch every enemy in the blast zone; it's a cone, not a half-circle. They're coming at you from the front, left, and right. I assume targeting them all is more important than the extreme close range bonus?

Could have gone better.

But it's strong magic, so we should at least get some good damage in on the revanents and take out the weak things.

Which might weaken them enough to eat.

4 more and we can buy Void Ring.

I'm feeling HUNGRY now.

Gaping Maw + Hunger Shard the reapers if they live through the cone.

I say we Earthforge and use Harden on the formation to buy us some more time after this.

>>26438280
Eh, it costs 12 mana per, so we would only be able to make a couple of them.

I'd rather go along with early thread ideas and save ~15 for if we need to break out the Darkness Within later in the fight.

You pour your untapped energy into your magic. You need something stronger. More powerful.

>mana: 24/48

A conical explosion of shadow blasts out from your form. One revenant is caught straight on, and disintegrates. The other loses an arm and a leg, and falls prone. Its flesh writhes, slowly regenerating, but it isn't going anywhere fast.

One of the reapers loses its arm, and drops its scythe. It dives away from you, and vanishes. You see it reappear and fly into your earthen maze to recover.

The tail end of the blast catches two crow demons slow enough to get caught. They're ripped in half, and turn to dust.

The final reaper managed to dodge your magic entirely. It raises its scythe high.

What do you do?

This could be particularly effect after getting enemy units stuck in the mud.

Worst that happens if we try and dodge and fail is that we get hit.

Oh, also.

Use Multishade. We're a diversion. Why aren't we using the 'confuse groups of enemies' power?

Seriously. Pop multishade and dodge the reaper, and use the diversion to kill as many things as we can

dodge and consume. keep our health full.
