Notes on Rolls and Voting:

When I request rolls, each set of three rolls counts for one action. For example, a two-step plan would take the first 6 linked rolls. A particularly bad failure can stop your plans early.

When rolling 1d100, I will consider criticals within the first ten linked rolls. Only criticals that occur in the first three rolls will be counted as "supercrits". This is still the case even if you'd have plan long enough to require more than ten rolls.

When I roll 1d20, the rules are the same, but I only consider criticals for the first five rolls, rather than ten. Criticals in the first three are still "supercrits".

When a plot choice results in extensive debate, I'll try to weed out the most popular trains of thought, and then call a vote on them. When voting, please respond with only a link back to the post and the number corresponding to your opinion. Other votes are discounted.

Finally, note that this is not a democracy; it is a benevolent dictatorship.

Recent Events Summary:

The new Temerity - Resolve - has given you the location of the final two shards. The first, Shaper, had already repurposed the population of Abbotsford - but you were able to stop it before it could complete a Flesh Titan.

Now, you turn your gaze upon the final shard waiting at the Frozen Hand - Wrath. But first, you need to have a conversation with Ellendra Kalladar - the elven Queen that started all this so long ago.

But flying straight to the xenophobic elvish isles could pose many problems. But you know another elf - Valeria Kavanere - leader of those that call the Great Forest home, and members of your growing northern alliance.

Valeria is distant cousins with the elf queen, Kalladar - and they've been in contact. You gained great insight into your own nature, and the nature of the world. It was Queen Kalladar who gave you the ability to resist and deform from Erebus's programming - which was the only thing that stopped his ultimate goal of erasing Chaos. As you've reforged yourself, the burden on the queen has lessened.

But at the same time, Chaos is growing uncontrollably. Magic is getting stronger. Demons grow more powerful. How long can Venia last in a world of god-like titans? It must be brought back under control, or it, too, could consume the world.

Verlia and the queen agree that only Erebus's true might can do the job that must be done. With the future poised on a knife's edge, you teleported to the Palace of Shadow, Erebus's old base at the Frozen Hand. First, you must subdue the final shard, and then set out to the place beyond Venia - from where Erebus originally came.

Wrath isn't happy to see you.

You decide you need a better grasp on your surroundings. You Focus.

The pulse of Shadow above you stops.

A roar tears through the halls. The sound of unleashed fury echos around you. An explosion of shadow rumbles through the palace. You feel the energy radiate out in a huge wave.

The epicenter was directly above the chamber in which you fought the dragon.

After the energy dies, all is quiet. You remain still. No summoned demons appear; no constructs, no other magic. You stand in the short antechamber, between the brick pillars.

What do you do?

>leave a Shade as a dummy and set an ambush
>try to find a way up to directly investigate the source of the magic
>head left into the hallway from which the elves first emerged
>head back the way you came, to the cave with the throne and the mana pool

We need to better know our surroundings.

So what's our followup going to be if Wrath goes for the shade?
>>
>>27872376

are we using shadow meld right now?
>>
>>27872419

Yes. Focus gave away your presence, but you haven't been 'spotted'. Stealth is still active.
>>
>>27872411

I suggest a good bind and then maybe a Blizzard and then go in for the darkness within/adamantize combo
>>
>>27872441

Can we leave a Shade, cast Shadowmeld on it, and then Compress ourselves to scurry to the nearest tunnel?
>>
>>27872461
We bought Erode for a reason.
>>
>>27872441
drop the shade, get ready to try and sneaky use a spirit binding, folowed by berserk. we're stronger up close than we are ranged, and if he cant fight back, we get a half-dozen free hits
>>
>>27872461

Direct combat with Wrath in the fortress of his own creation, while we're caught unaware of his abilities is not a good strategic plan.

We should leave a dummy and see how Wrath reacts. Is he a planner or a brute? Pretty important information here.
>>
>>27872478

replace Dark Blizzard with Erode then and we have a plan

>>27872370
>>leave a Shade as a dummy and set an ambush

So is wrath coming to our location or is it waiting for us? It just yelled and then nothing happened...

Gotta go with the plan from the last thread.

This guy seems like a glass cannon.

Maybe not glass, but offense focused.

You throw a Shade down and step away. A slightly undulating replica of yourself stands in the middle of the chamber. You quickly dart behind one of the larger pillars in the corner of the room, where the shadows are dark.

You linger in silence, waiting. Suddenly, nostalgia washes over you. This is the same place you first hid from the elves.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qMBans8jyM

A crack appears in the stone ceiling. And then there's a roar, and a huge gout of dirt and brick crashes down on your Shade, vaporizing it in an instant.

When the dust clears, Wrath stands atop the pile of rubble. He's an imposing figure. Shadow ripples from his skin in waves. A long, horned head peers around the room.

Without warning, he slams an arm into the nearest pillar. It's blown to pieces. Chips of ancient mortar rain around you. <There's only so many places to HIDE!>

It stomps forward, gaze locked on another pillar. For the moment, you're hidden. You consider the spells at your disposal. As soon as you use magic, you'll give yourself away. That first hit needs to count. You're not sure how strong Wrath has become.

What do you do?

>Bind; hinder his movement first. That should give you time for more.
>Erode. You have to reduce his attack power.
>Adamantize yourself. Go toe-to-to with Wrath.

Probably not. They went for erode and then multi-shade + shadowmeld.
The multishades don't do any damage and erode only weakens him for some turns, and they voted to just restealth after blowing mana on weakening & distracting him. The only way they could've made it worse was use a shard.

You cast Erode.

Grey-brown light shoots out of you in a cyclone. It strikes Wrath right in his core. Brown light blossoms in his chest, crawling across the shadow in a wave. The power of the spell and his aura seem to compete with one another for dominance.

He immediately swivels and stomps in your direction -

And is met by a flurry of your Shades! They spin out in multiple directions, dancing and flying around him. He manages to catch one and barrels through it - only for it to vanish. He punches a pillar in frustration - and it cracks only slightly.

While he's busy clawing at Shadows, you've blended back into the background and neatly positioned yourself at his backside.

You have the initiative.

What do you do?

This is the best course of action at present.

We've negated his physical combat advantage, which is likely his strong suit.

Adamantize only last two turns. You need to recast it now anyway.

>>27873527

That was a plot-specific event triggered by Temerity's little rebellion. You can't forcibly split your shards from yourself. They're you.

---------------
On Letting You Anger Get the Best of You: A Public Service Announcement
---------------

Seems there were some misunderstandings just now, which cause a small but heated discussion.

Let's assume we had a little troll come in to stir up an argument. Getting angry and picking a fight is playing right into their hands and derailing the thread.

Now let's assume they're new, or just went through the pastebins and are less familiar with all the crunch. You're now a jerk for not being patient and helping people integrate, as well as fostering a stagnant quest-superiority complex.

Either way, we all lose. So, let's maintain a positive environment. I like new players. I run the quest because it's fun, but I also want people to enjoy my story. Be patient and assume the best about your fellow anons, not the worst.

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

Let's get the beatdown going.

Roll 1d100

Five rolls. One set for adamantize, the rest for DW.
>>
>>27873455
>>27873489

From the end of last thread
---------------------------------------
You decide to avoid doing anything unnecessary, for the moment. It might give you away to Wrath.

You step toward that long, lonely hallway. And then you start running.

You build speed, soon hitting the fastest pace you can safely muster inside the hall. You realize that the hall slowly curves, turning in a wide circle, rising up through the earth. After about ten minutes running as fast as you can go, you reach the room in which you first encountered the elves.
----------------------------------

I think Adamantize is over.

You use Adamantize, and your skin turns to liquid steel. And then you plow forward. Each footstep thunders across the ground. For a moment, you think you'll be spotted -

- but Wrath is consumed by your shades. He doesn't even turn.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3t6LGYykXY

You slam into him at full speed, all the weight of your spell and your strength. Your punch connects with the back of his head. His body falls forward, following that momentum. He slams into the ground hard enough to bounce back up, leaving an imprint of himself in solid rock.

And your fist comes down again to catch him as he rises. Your punch connects with his core. Your aura, reinforced with adamantize, punctures his own. His body attempts to morph out of the way, but it's not quick enough. You impale him through with a satisfying crunch of dark flesh. You hold him there, pinned to the ground.

We growls, and tears himself off your arm, half Inking away, half ripping himself free. Your next attack just misses as he rolls.

You chase after him closely, landing whips, punches, and driving needles of shadow on his backside. You do a bit more damage before he makes it to his feet.

The earthen spell fighting his aura fades. He comes roaring back. His arm extends out unnaturally long in a swipe with claws long enough to make daggers.

But you neatly dodge. His hand slices clean through the brick of a pillar behind you, but you're already inside his reach. You strike him with twin blows, an uppercut that knocks him on his heels, and a follow up body-slam straight into him. Wrath rolls backward, head over heels, smashing through one, two pillars, finally stopped by the wall of the room.

He shakily gains his feet as the tunnel0like vision of your intent focus fades. His presence is greatly reduced. You've done a lot of damage in a very short time.

He growls low. Shadows gather around him. Suddenly, he seems larger again. Larger. As if he's growing. <I WILL NOT FALL TO CHAOS!>

Hammer his shit
>>
>>27873978
Titanic has a duration of 3 turns (at least for us it does).

Wrath entered through the ceiling - let's leave through it. Voting to kite - slip out through the hole he made on his way in. Also, maybe throw a frostbite underneath him to slip him up.
>>
>>27873978
Cone of Destruction or Hammer.
>>
>>27874019

Sorry:

>mana: 22/28

(yes, you just regenerated 1 mana)
>>
>>27874043

Agree with you.

Cone of Destruction.

He's big, slow and extra pissed. We need to bleed him with direct mana attacks before chewing him through inside out.
>>
>>27873978
Blast him with blizzard, then kite!

>Titanic - You grow titanic in size, doubling your physical strength and defense. You cannot use any other abilities while Titanic (aside from berserk). It would be a bad idea to do this indoors, or around allies. Forgoes all stealth. Can stack with berserk. Lasts three turns. Size minimum 20 feet tall, 7 feet wide. Maximum is double those dimensions. (5 EXP)

This nigga is going to laugh at physical attacks.

If we can get to the mana pool and fill up, kiting him while tossing out Shadow bombs could be good.

Hitting him with the hammer while he is in titanic is just wasting the power of the shard, Titanic only lasts a couple of rounds and once it is over he will be much more vulnerable to physical attacks. Blasting him with magic or using shades to make him waste this move is sensible in this situation.

Hallway is a bad idea, narrow corridor will play to Wrath's strengths.

Roof is best, open area with lots of room to move around in.

Cave is second best, wide open area.

Shadow pool is the worst idea, because Wrath can draw from it just as easily as we can.

I wish you good read, anon. Good read and good health such that you may enjoy Shadow Quest for many a year to come.

Enjoy Shadow Quest, and be Civil, such that your enjoyment shall, awash, sweep among the masses as an infectious splendor.

Allow your splendor to frolic grandly and with haste. For now, in this moment, it is the best era to be alive.

With Civility, and not terseness.

I wonder: If we had decided to follow the directive, would the other shards simply assent to being absorbed?

The other shards would be corrupted by chaos, and we'd have to purge and assimilate them.
>>
Not wanting to stick around while your strongest shard yet gathers strength, you leap off the ground and through the hole in the ceiling. A heavy flap of your wings speeds you across the ground.

You're in a massive hallway. Support columns line either side of the cold floor, meeting an arched ceiling dozens of feet above your head. It's like the hall of a cathedral, but devoid of lights and decorations. There are no windows. Just plain, empty stone - carved with a sure hand and a keen eye - but without emotion or warmth.

The end of the hall simply ends at a flat wall. Against the wall, however, is a pile of rubble. You see the wrecked remains of an archway rising above it, cracked and broken. Magic still lingers near it.

Opposite you, on the far end past an army of columns, lies a wide entrance to the Palace. Between the columns you see several empty tunnels and passageways.

But as soon as you've gained an understanding of the space, Wrath's roar rumbles over you. Darkness grows. Stone cracks. You land with your legs ready and sprint away just as a titanic version of your shard erupts up through the floor. A giant claw swipes at you - but you're away.

What do you do?

>fight Wrath in the hall

Weave between the columns and get him to smash them trying to hit you. Snipe at moments of opportunity, but don't take risks.

The idea is to trick him into smashing enough columns that a section of the roof comes down on his head. Weaken a section if need be.

We can fight him in the hall, and try to trick him into knocking out the support columns so that the roof collapses on him - but that might be more structural damage than we want to inflict, and we'd be giving him room to maneuver.
I'd rather just evade for another two rounds, and then engage him directly.
>>
>>27874555

Remember people coming up with our own plans are almost always better than the ones SM gives us at the start, talk it out.

>>27874540
Nonsense, my good fellow! There can be no such thing as 'overboard' when we endeavor towards an overwhelming outpouring of Civility!

In this way, such that the world becomes our hallowed grounds of understanding, we begin to heal and follow into the light of mutually beneficial pursuits.

Within life, and within the lives of every man, woman, child; nay, every human being that strives for Civility - we find Truth.

This Truth is what will being all glory to the improvement of mankind. And, so, with this I level an assent. There can be no such thing as an overabundance of Civility, for Civility is the driving force of purity and elation.

Good journeys, anon, and know that whoever you are, I love you.

You need to get the hell out before Wrath can pin you down. You Blink as an arm larger than any of the columns sweeps. Columns are blown away - he's too big to move around without damaging them.

In a moment, you wing out the door and up into the sky -

A frozen sea of ice greets your eyes. Endless white, stretching in all directions. A furious snowstorm blows about you, cutting your visibility low. You're not bothered by the cold - but the white on white is a strange sight. You've never seen so much snow.

You glance back. The Palace of Shadow looms behind you, a reach of dark stone jutting from land buried under mighty sheets of ice.

Wrath erupts from the front of the palace! A storm of rubble crashes behind him. The front half of the structure is blasted out toward you, but you're high and far enough to be struck by any of the chunks of stone.

He crashes across the ground. The ground rumbles with shadow in every step. You feel like a fly trying to outpace a giant monster. As you watch, huge wings develop from his back.

What do you do?

"Demons are marching out to conquer the realm. We don't have time for this."
<Perhaps some ignorance potion and copulation will make you forget your troubles, my sweet.>
"That's disturbing. Find me when you're ready to get serious."
You slide your shadowy appendage across the floor. it's snakes its way up his leg and around his torso. You pull him to you, the end of your appendage clamped firmly over his mouth.
<Ah, I believe I've picked up the slang "get serious" before - don't worry, I'll be gentle. I've waited so long for you to return my feelings...>

SM clearly wants to make this a nice environment to encourage quality participation, but you just throw it in his face. And people cheer.

Putting ourself into an immobile position where we will stick out like a sore thumb is a very good idea, imho. I'm pretty sure we can tank all of Rath's attack for two turns, assuming we can heal 3.22 repeating hp per second. Then we need to backstab him for x5 damage for the kill

You'll notice that Sorry has put spoiler tags on nearly every post he's made that's not about the current SM post in some way, including his response to you. This is something he's done consistently since he was first posting with Richard images, and said avatarfagging was the only thing that ever bugged me. You're being worse than him in regards to the very thing you're complaining about by leaving it out in the open.

To get to the point: please spoil responsibly.

You use Multishade!

>mana: 21/58

A flurry of flying Shades peel off your position. You yourself cut a hard left. One goes up, one right, and one continues straight on.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rWT1DhIeSg

Wrath crashes his way to the center of your small flock. His eyes flick between targets, then he growls - a roar big and loud enough to echo several times off the icy wall beyond the palace. You dive into the snow as he sweeps an arm at one of your shades.

You bury yourself a good distance away, deep enough to be well-hidden but not such that you couldn't extricate yourself in a hurry. Wrath stomps around the field, wasting energy chasing ghosts.

But then he stops. Power grows behind him.

A roar comes again - but it's concentrated into a shockwave of shadow, an amplified version of the first roar you heard him give. The force blasts through the snow in every direction. You feel your shades vaporize as the magic strikes them, and your cover is annihilated, thrown up into the air. Most of the force rolls over you, but you're exposed on the ice!

>you've taken 5 damage (76/81)

A passive arm plummets down toward you. You've got to move!

Either it was a bad idea that got us caught out slightly, but we were saved from big damage by a good (80+) check on the task

It was a good idea that saved us from being caught in-air by that roar of pain, where we may have taken significant damage.

Unsure which.Either way, the result is only 5 damage and we've manage to survive another round.

It was a good idea, and it wated most of the turn, we are just facing a formidable opponent and we didn't account for his massive AOE attack. which i totally want. and we can probably only unlock by going titanic.

worst case, we take 20 dam then he shrinks to normal and we are in a melee with a fatigued Wrath

>>
You move, blasting out of the snow as fast as you can - but the ice makes a poor launching pad.

You try to gather your aura behind you for a burst of speed as you move, but Wrath's arm catches up with you first. A titanic fist smashes into your back, and you're sent flying at high speed across the drifts. You skip across the snow like a pebble across a pond, eventually coming to a long, sliding halt.

>you've taken 22 damage (54/81)
>mana: 24/58

You clamber to your feet, dazed, but alive.

Wrath pounds through the snow after you - but he starts to shrink. His size decreases rapidly, until he's no larger than he was before. Still, he's charging full speed, wings flared to give him an extra boost. It's only a moment before he arrives.

What do you do?

We can always do the holy trinity of DW Adamantize and Full mana bind to fuck his shit up.

Nah he is pretty weak i say we bind him then use DW+Adamantize to wreck his shit.
>>
>>27876110
>>27876113
That might cause too much damage to us. We could just erode/dodge to waste his momentum instead, and then counterattack with some combination of abilities plus DW.
>>
>>27876118
>Wrath
>Weak
you're funny.

it takes physical strength to break
Bind (atleast that it what it seems to be) and he has plenty of that. but maybe after an errode
>>
>>27876004
Friendly reminder we're there aren't shadows around.
But that any cast are easily distinguishable
Just sayin
>>
>>27876100
Wasn't exactly looking to use it for much else.
We evaded the Titanic already, so unless we want to blast him with damage magic (equally valid) I don't know what we're saving it for.
As nice as a Heal is, this is one of those cases where the damage might outpace the healing. We could spend a turn healing ourselves only to find that the net result is that we're at lower health than before, because he hit us in the face while we did it.
>>
>>27876141
So erode+Bind+Adamantize+DW, how many rolls and how much mana would that cost.
>>
>>27876142
>Friendly reminder we're there aren't shadows around.
...wut

but we do neglect our shadow abilities a lot. though we don't know their exact power (weather they could pierce his hide or not)
>>
Couldn't we just cone of destruction after we dodge and erode him? At such a close range after being stunned from his own charge it would be pretty sweet.
>>
>>27876168
that would work. use resolve in the cone of destruction to.
>>
>>27876129

DW basically guarantees damage we're just going full berserker on him. the guy backhanded us for 22 damage right there - what will four more turns of fighting do to us I wonder??? That and Schattenkrieg only damages us if our rolls are poor enough vs. his AC

though that is likely now that I think about it.

Either way, we'll at least hit the guy for sure cuz he's going fast and he's a big dude, and then HAMAR can shred the fucker where he stands.
>>
>>27876168
We don't want to kill him anon just weaken enough for gaping maw consume with Ardor backing us up.
>>
>>27876168
that would also kick up some serious snow, which would reduce visibility. a good thing
>>
>>27876181
Which is why people keep suggesting Adamantize with DW.
>>
>>27876181
Too much emotion in your post to be reliable.

>>27876180
>>27876168
I'd second something like this, if only because it prevents us from using DW right away to give us more options, while still softening him up for it.
>>
>>27876181
he was in titanic mode on the 22. other than that he has same strength/size as us. we dont even know if he has diamond skin (probably does though)
>>
>>27876199
we can adamantized + DW next turn if we need to.

lets give this a try>>27876200
>>
>>27876186

he has extreme shadow reseistance, plus Wrath is a big boy he can take whatever magic we dish out and at least survive.
>>
>>27876199
>>27876200

im just getting the creeping feeling that physically trying to overpower a physically themed shard will not work out in our best interest. it'd be more prudent to use things to our advantage, i.e, our hammar and our speed

lets stick with magic for this turn and see how it works. we aren't commiting to anything major, plus it will probably reduce visibility and has a low risk of us getting hurt.
>>
>>27876241
Which is why it would be better to take advantage of our speed and dodge, cone of destruction+erode his face, and then formulate what to do after that move.
Going to hammer him right now is a silly all-or-nothing idea. The other one gives us more options.

All the actual smut is in pastebins. You don't have to look at it.
>>
You spread your legs wide, ready to dodge Wrath. But as you make your move, your feet falter on a ridge of ice buried under the snow. You flap your wings, which stops your falling, but you don't have enough momentum to get out the way!

Breeze answers your call.

A ring of purple light flashes over either of your wings. Your second flap brings you forward with an incredible speed. It feels less like you've moved, and more as if the world has moved around you. In an instant, you're at Wrath's side.

Wrath is shocked by your blinding speed. He tries to bring himself around to face you, but now the ice is on your side. His feet slip and stumble as he tries to slow his momentum. He shoots out tentacles of shadow to pierce the ice and drag himself to a halt.

You have the initiative.

I'm wondering if we will basically have ALL of these ALL THE TIME once we become reforged into (new)Erebus again. cause it seems like erebus level power

Or maybe because wrath was so tunnel visioned that he wasn't able to divert his path in the first place that the dodge didn't weaken breeze because it was just sidestepping? IDK.
SM pls!

It needs to be toned down a bit, but if they want to post pastebins at the end of a thread, I don't care.

The discussion in the middle of the thread is an interruption, and I'd prefer it would wait.

>>27876658

I find it funny that people care enough to try and troll the quest. It's annoying, but funny, too. Like that friend who is sort of a huge douchebag, but he's always quick with a joke.

>toothpaste

Crest master race.

Ultrabrite is fine too.

>What do your think of Sorry's work?

I didn't bother looking at the Vore shit. But the earlier pastebin? I've written better.

>>27876661

Breeze was not weakened. You failed the roll, but by such a small differential that it didn't lower Breeze by a tier of strength to make up for it.

Wrath isn't that fast.

>>27876670

It's more like he didn't have to try very hard to dodge wrath.

will total reforging just give us like 200xp or something new

Dave

Cause we don't seem to be anywhere near elemental lord level.

and we should use our shards for minor shit more, it will just give us little boost in everthing. we should have used shaper with the erode on Wrath

I'm too busy having a life or writing Shadow Quest to write smut.

>>27876805

Dave, this conversation can go no further. Goodbye.

That hurts, SM. :c
Completely accurate, though. Given how far I live off campus, my day consists of going to class, doing homework, and then sitting in front of a computer for the rest of the evening.
