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:You have found all of your shards, and, in a lucky turn of events, met with and allied yourself with the Black Lady. She seeks peace and reconciliation with the rest of the world, and, after extensive discussion, you were able to gain Auriel's support on the matter.It turns out that she is in fact the same Melody that took the Staff of Winds from Xile. Aside from you, only Auriel knows the full truth of her origins and personal history with Yi Fang, leader of Archon.While mysteries still await you at Erebus's residence out in the Void, you decided that you had to go after Adavan, Obis, and Freja. With the prophecy hanging over Obis's head, you have to stick by him on a mission as risky as a trip to Aurora, the ancient isle of Leviathan and his followers.You arrived at Aurora, and managed to slip out of the jaws of a trap. You met with Adavan, who told you that despite attaining the key he sought, Obis had gone back into the depths of the island to rescue Freja from the resident demon.You found Obis and Freja down for the count and about to be eaten. You managed to free them and defeat their captor - but it turned out it wasn't alone...

Surprised but pleased with your quick defeat of your foe, you rush over to Obis and Freja. It's a simple matter for you to slice them free of their icy cocoons. As soon as they're released from their bonds, the life returns to their eyes. Freja slumps, unconscious, but Obis rolls over, coughing and hacking.The prince gets to his knees and glances up at you. "...Shadow?"<The one and only.>"Well fuck Logi and his mother. I am happy as shit to see you. Did you get all of them?"<...all of them?>Obis looks past your shoulder. "...uh oh."You turn about.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbVivq7ExWoThree more identical ice demons are standing at the other end of the room, blocking the passage out.You quickly decide that a weakened Obis and an incapacitated Freja need to be moved out of harms way. You quickly throw them into your Pocket.>mana: (34/58)Meanwhile, the demons are quick to surround you! Two of them come at you from either side, one forming a sword of ice, the other a spear. The third demon lingers behind them, preparing a magical spell.What do you do?>darkness within>adamantize --> darkness within>dodge and counter>blink to another corner and cast magic>blink past the two attackers and attack the demon casting a spell>some other strategy
>>28199597Use Terror to stun them all at once, and then our shadow domination abilities to take control of them while they're immobilize, and then consume them.
>>28199606this
>>28199606>>28199597Actually I noticed we can only take control of 2 at once, so let's throw a bind at the third before consuming the other two, provided the terror and shadow control abilities work out.
>>28199597Fear + Shadow Dominate + Consume.Gotta get dem XPs
>>28199636Does Spirit even work on demons?
>>28199631oops yeah. only two so changin from this>>28199619to >>28199631
>>28199664Yes, it's worked pretty well against them before, at Kelvere, Archon, and other places.
>>28199664yeah. why wouldnt it? they aren't made of Spirit, they are made of Nether/magic. Spirit just happens to work closely with it. plus they are water/ice based anywaybesides we outclass them
SO...1) Terror2) Bind on the casting demon3) Shadow Dominate the two adjacent demons4) Consume captured foesAlrighty!Roll 1d100! 12 rolls!>note that failed actions may interrupt longer plan chains

>sm writing>yes, it's happeningCan we try to solve the city 002 situation soon?We've ignored it for over 50 threads, and they are extremely powerful and purpose driven. We know their positions as enemies with us, and not allies with anyone else we know of, based on their interactions with the excavation and our pre-teleport Haven citizenry.This puts them in the landmine league up there with what I said before about who does or doesn't know about our plan to free Hectate. We know they are reacting to specific events related to their goals, and that they must have a significant underground network by now, and they're after powerful Dynamos [such like Nyxystix has], and seem to go with a violent course of acquiring them.From that I think we need to find a solution or vet them very soon, because they're not allies with anyone and AFAWK nobody but us and our companions/Haven know of their existence, and only we can really deal with them and their goals and the countries of the world at large are completely ignorant of them and would be utterly unprepared for being attacked, all of these things make them a very extreme kind of wild card that we need to address in some way.We do also know from before about a larger goal to remain out of war, but I don't feel that is something reliable enough to base the fates of these nations, Haven, and our companions on, especially because as long as it isn't classified as "war" they're okay with it, like attacking pre-teleport Haven and the excavation and who knows who or what else. This is why I think remaining so ignorant of their movements as a whole seems reminiscent of how we ignored the Kelvere situation, though we had very specific priorities there were consequences for that. Dire consequences for Duke V.I'm sure we've missed our chance to make an advantage out of them, and their level of technology far exceeds everything everyone else has, and they've been very antagonistic in achieving their objectives,-[1/22]
>>28199939>[1/22]Jesus fuck no. Put that shit in a pastebin holy shit.
>>28199939-so they'll be openly hostile while we try to do anything with them, overprotective of their resources and location, and are very likely to not even consider letting us leave alive if we find out where their city is hidden.So I would recommend stealth if we manage to pinpoint their location so we can get as much info as we can from them without fighting openly because given what they've told us we know there is a form of central consensus that they refer to and with how steward and others would "magi beam" for info.And it would be to our advantage to find that.I've also been thinking about how we deal with Kan-Abar a bit more. The bold and risky idea that I have been thinking of is... going into Kan-Abar. Alone. But stealthed, and for gauging their situation/palace/defenses. But without interfering in anything, all just to gain information that the Alliance can use, something that can form an accurate attack plan for Auriels small strike force idea so it's not worthless, and info that will allow us to better convince the war council of Obis's rightful kingship and generally anything that would better convince everyone of our competence in this issue.As right now we have Auriels woefully dangerous distraction & strikeforce plot and very little idea of how it would actually be best to go about it. And no, we don't have to tell our companions that we're going there, because we know how they would react to it, and frankly we can't risk them.Another sidejective in this vein is touching a mana pool that is within Kan-Abar, or scouting for one that isn't utterly defended 100% of the time. I don't feel the need to extrapolate on what kind of advantage that can give everyone.I've also been thinking more about my maybe risky suggestion of having the Black Lady & Fang meet before the war council, and I think it would be good if we take Ila to meet her, and maybe another person as well. Having more of our companions actually know her, and her know them.[2/2]
>>28199939>1/22It might be time for a pastebin, my friend.
>>28199947>>28199963My bad, it was a mistype.That's all I can think of for now but the city 001/002 situation seemed paramount while the scouting Kan-Abar idea is for an advantage to our alliance allies and friends-meet-melody is for BL-Melody to know what kind of company we keep, and get them to trust her. Though that won't be easy at all.This time I'm not sorry for sperging because god damn it I suggested to ignore city 002 over trivial things a while ago and I know it can't end well...
The spirit-shock of terror explodes out from you, echoing through the room - and the power stops the two demons cold! Their weapons fall from their hands, melting back to slush.The third demon's spell unravels as it falls backward, stunned. In a moment, your wraps of spirit are upon it, slipping around and binding its arms and legs up tight.>mana: 10/58>(Maker) - BrokenWith the demon at a distance dealt with, your stretch your shadow. It darts across the ice-covered ground, silent, but sure. In a moment, you make contact with the shadows the demons cast on the ground - and you have them. You can feel their limbs as if they're you're own, move them with just a thought.You move them toward yourself, and your maw opens up to greet them. You swallow them whole - and with their shadows bound, they can't even struggle as you dissolve them into their component magical parts.>you gain 14 experience (19 total)>you gain 5 mana (15/58)A sliding of ice on ice grabs your attention. The third demon is still bound up, but it has its arms free. It works frantically with its ice, sawing at your binds of spirit.What do you do?>CONSUME>physical attack>some other strategy
Though if I ever go above three consecutive post sperges I'll be sure to pastebin it from now on. That does seem best.
>>28200037>CONSUME
>>28200037Consume
>>28200037CONSUME
>>28200037>>CONSUME
We don't have to roll for consuming? Neato.Commence XP debate.
Feels like old times.Roll 1d100

Rolled 76>>28200137
Rolled 94>>28200137CONSUUUME
>>28200147>>28200150I bet they're minty fresh.
In the pastebin description of Ila>She is capable of limited flight, but this tires her quickly.Is that really accurate after the servanting giving her wings?
>>28200174All of that pastebin needs updating really.
If we ever get Order Immateria, will Vaporal change to do something else? Seems a bit of a waste of a tree completion bonus to have it do something a quarter as well as a different single skill.
>>28200133im voting shadow totem + Machina Loqui
I hope these demons aren't just minions.
>>28200174No, it's not accurate. That was pre-servant information. I've made a note to update it.I'm going to go through and rework the whole thing at some point. Eventually.>>28200224Vaporal will simply be rendered irrelevant. Higher-level skills replace lower ones; it's inevitable.Obviously, the purple tree is suppose to be special and specific skills that aren't subject to that, but some details like that are bound to contradict. I've modified too much since the quest began, it's impossible to remember it all at once if I need to change something.
>>28200252i hope they are.means more xp. plus we handled these guys no problem, shouldn't be to bad to take whatever is/might be controling them
>>28200252I hope they are. We need the XP, and we've also got a fish to eat.And because that fish isn't a summon we can just slipstream into its gut and eat it from the inside out.
>>28200270just use compress then let it swallow us.
>>28200281Or that.
>>28200268>>28200270The big problem is that we've used most of our mana. Yes we've been regaining it thanks to mana regen but we can really only do one more big spell before we are tapped.
>>28200289And then we'll REALLY start reliving our good old days.
>>28200289personally i think things get more interesting when we can't use magic
As for XP spending I want shadowrage and dreamwalker.Dreamwalker will let us talk to our allies when apart as well. No more having to wonder if Abby and Haven is safe.
------------------------You roil over the helpless demon. It struggles harder. You silence it quickly, and its power is yours.>you've gained 7 EXP (26)>you've gained 3 mana (18/58)And with that, your enemies are swiftly dealt with. Clearly they weren't expecting a foe of your caliber. Or maybe you're just that much stronger...you've struggled for so long, it's a strange thought.You glance around the room, ensuring the space is safe. All is silent. But a heavy magic still lingers in the air.You press your senses harder. Something is definitely still there...lurking. The master of the demons and spiders?For now, it's leaving you alone.You walk out of the room and down the hall. As you go, the patches of ice shrink and melt away, until you return to the oddly heated courtyard, scarred with the ash of burned city-dwellers. The room is as quiet as a grave. In a way, it is a sort of graveyard.It reminds you of when you met Abigail, in that graveyard...it feels like a lifetime has passed since then. You wonder how she's doing. Fang wouldn't let anything happen to her, certainly. But...you miss her.You give yourself a shake. This isn't the time for wandering thoughts.What do you do?>explore the ruins>leave the way you came in>some other strategy
I'd like to get that last level of Earth+Wind resist.It would be nice for dealing with City 02.It completes a tree. Look at the skill tree. It's the last thing to buy in the second darkest grey area.
>leave the way you came inWe can let Obis and Freyja rest in the safety of the ship if we want to explore.
>>28200312>LeaveCome back after you check obis and Freja for ice worms.
>>28200312check our pocket, see how our friends are doing. don't really take them out, just give em some air.then get them the hell out of here
>>28200312>This isn't the time for wandering thoughts.TAKE OBIS AND FREJA OUT OF OUR FUCKING POCKET YOU DUMBO CLOWN
>>28200312lets go drop off Obis and Freja with addy before consuming the master
>>28200312>some other strategyDrop off Ferja and Obis with Adavan, then go back in and spam Deep Focus until more XP comes to us.
>>28200308Lets finish up the spirit tree or at least rush grave silence.(and grab summon I so we can summon something better than a wisp.)
>>28200339This. Also supported machina vita and loqui.
>>28200341shadow totem + Machina loqui so we can actually help defend haven. cause you know they are gonna get attacked while we are away one time
>>28200317>It completes a tree. Look at the skill tree. It's the last thing to buy in the second darkest grey area.Oh snap you're right. HIGH LEVEL BONUSES HERE WE COME!
>>28200339This, but also eat the giant fish.
>>28200360Oh yeah. we should get it. shouldn't be expensive at all. like 2 or 4
>>28200317>>28200360Well then it's time to buy. I guess. Gets us closer to OI and tree completion bonus.
>>28200362Priories, anon. Save allies first and then consume the island for XP.
Let's save EXP discussion until we're out of the dungeon, beyond immediately buying an ability that would help in a battle.The strategy is to get Obis and Freja to safety, ideally on the Firebird with Adavan?
So many times we've had >Do you go left, right, or continue forward? given to us as a thing. We always send Wisp to go check one way and check another ourself.How about we buy the Ghost, Summoning I, and then buy up to Grave Silence?Helps with the branching pathways that SM likes so much and it boosts stealth.
>>28200391Yeah than to go back and hunt.
>>282003742 or 4? We have 3 resistances in it's vein I think, if the last is 10 XP because of how it scales then it's gonna be a doozy.
>>28200391yes.if we have to pass the fish then lets eat it on the way
>>28200391Works for me.
>>28200401Might as well get summoning level 1(2exp) to calm the players who are paranoid.
>>28200391Yes
>>28200391I'd say that we could send them to haven through our portal, but I don't think they want to leave the boat here.
So what is our current to do list.1.Drop our friends with addy.2.Go back and explore/hunt.3.Set up meeting with fang.4.?We can rush the thing, but we still have a good month and a few weeks left.
>>28200403that just depends on weather he is counting (n) as the other Earth+Wind Resistance if there is one. or if it is the Earth Resistances + the Wind Resistances.so 8 or 2. worth it either way because it completes a tree.
This is Leviathan's place. Anybody else find it odd that there was no manapool around?Find the manapool, find the big bad.
>>28200457does it really complete it is the better question.
>>28200454City 001 and City 002can't leave that shit unchecked. and we should probably do it before the council cause there may be another allied faction in there.
>>28200457Why don't we ask how expensive it is?
>>28200457It costs 20. It's the tier 3 earth and wind resist bought at the same time. They're 10 each, total cost 20.
You continue through the ruins out the way you came, not wanting to take any further risks until your allies are safe.The presence watches you, but makes no move to stop you.You reach the underwater gap between the entrance to the ruins and the sunken elevator you used to descend into the ruins - but the elevator is destroyed! Icy stalagmites have pierced and pummeled the stone to rubble. The mechanism that controls it is gone.The giant fish still swims through the area, but it hasn't noticed you, at the moment.What do you do?>make fishfood out of that fish>get to the surface, secure Obis and Freja on the ship>some other strategy
>>282004544.try to deal with city 0025.maybe scout Kan-Abar solo for info
>>28200483>make fishfood out of that fishthen>get to the surface, secure Obis and Freja on the ship
>>28200483>>make fishfood out of that fishCompress then let it swallow us. then consume from the inside out.we haven't done that in awhile
>>28200483>get to the surface, secure Obis and Freja on the shipReally?
>>28200476Pretty sure that isn't it.but lets ask
>>28200502that's a thought
>>28200483SM you're making it more obvious how bad non write-in suggestions are.also;>Icy stalagmites have pierced and pummeled the stone to rubble.Hmm, I WONDER WHO DID THAT.
>>28200483>>make fishfood out of that fish>>get to the surface, secure Obis and Freja on the ship>>some other strategyEat the fishy from the inside out.
>>28200514>Elemental Resistance - there are three instances of each resistance upgrade in the ability tree. Each one is better than the last; the first costs 2 EXP, the second 6, the last 10. The order in which they are purchased is irrelevant.We already have 2 wind resists and 2 earth resists. This is the third level of wind and earth resists. SM already went over this when it was revealed on the tree forever ago.
>>28200483I'd say we should at least let Obis and Freja out for a minute or two, ask them if they're running out of air or anything like that?
I can't tell if this is one of those "risky and stupid but awesome" plan moments or not....Do we really know that it is NOT a summon?
>>28200483Out of curiosity, does it take an action to cycle the air in our pocket?
>>28200485>>28200470Good point we should check those guys out, but i feel like we are forgetting something.(not the big bad in the deep we will investigate that at one point)Weren't we planning on checking out other stuff as well i remember we had a pastebin list of this.
>>28200532Well if he did then fine, but i would like a confirmation.i'm thinking this is seperate and there are more undiscovered resistances hidden in summoning. but i may be wrong
>>28200539to compound this, i think it used water magic to make itself move faster. i may have simply misinterpreted that post though
>>28200539It is like the bed thing.stupid awesome but not really beneficial or risky
>>28200502Compressing is a bad idea because it cuts our attack and defense power by a lot.The fish is big. If we really wanna eat it out, no compress.
>>28200551>hidden in summoningThis is why i will still believe the white magic tree exist until we go through that tree.
Can we cycle air into our pocket?Because running out of air isn't the first problem they would run into; it would be the climbing amounts of poisonous carbon dioxide.
>>28200570we are gonna uncompress after it has swallowed us and eat it from the inside out
Yes, it will take an action to cycle your allies in and out of your pocket. And 4 mana.>>28200551It costs 20 experience. The other gentleman explained it perfectly.
>>28200585yes but, air, not them
>>28200579>>28200595I belive we have a decent amount of air inside and only a few mniutes has past.>>28200585Will it complete the tree is a better question SM.
>>28200579Yeah this.Also just in general talk to Obis and Freya more now that we're no longer in imminent danger.Maybe they have some pertinent information it would be a good idea to hear now.
Everyone wanted to take them out of here and then come back. Why is this not happening? Why are we stopping unnecessarily at the big fish again? Why is the big fish consistently an issue / focal point for retardation?
can we take our allies out and see how they fare? they were injured and beaten and then thrown into a nether pocketi think it would be a good idea to at least look at their condition, maybe heal them a bit.As an aside to that after they're out we can deal with the fish solo anyways, and then bubble them up to the surface inside of us.
>>28200585oh ok
>>28200614we are going to eat it. not dimplomance it like stupid motherfuckers>>28200619after the fish
>>28200639Shut up you.Allies now, fish later.Maybe they know about the fish.
People worried about how much air they have are being ridiculous. That's more than enough for two people to last days on end. It's been five minutes.If you'd like to talk to them, that's another story.>>28200606I've never answered questions about tree completion.>>28200614I don't know. Some people were interested in eating the fish for experience; I just made it as an obstacle. We're stopping there because I like to give people choices at most opportunities. This is a quest, not a novel.------------------Vote 1:>priority one is getting Obis and Freja on the ship safely and checking them over to ensure they're alrightVote 2:>eat the fish first, then do that

>>28200858No, he said that he want to change his vote because he messed up when typing on his phone.
You slip into the water, intending to get by the fish without incident. You don't want trouble - at least, not for the moment.The ruined towers make good cover. You Ink and slither through the coral that has grown up among the stone, and then slide further along the backside of tall pinnacle. The fish now circles the chasm far below, and, confident you're out of sight, you begin to swim toward the surface in earnest.Aurora's main island creates a huge shadow in the water. You aim for where the walls stretch out in a half-circle, the bay where you left Adavan.The water is cold - ice cold. Still, that doesn't slow your progress.But it gets colder still.Suddenly, ice crystallizes from the water around you! Shards of it swarm in around you, attempting to trap you in an enclosing sphere!Roll 1d100 to react
>>28200901So you don't like people who change their votes? Makes no sense. I think you're the dude with the phone pretending to be the dude who called you a dick, dick.
>>28200901Which is bullshit because he linked my vote in his post.

As the daggers of ice close in, you twist your aura into a screw and spin. The quick burst of speed is dizzying, but gives you enough time to get out before the trap closes around you.But more ice quickly forms, sweeping in from all directions! As long as you're surrounded by water, you're at a huge disadvantage. You swim as fast as you can, barely keeping pace with the crystallizing ice. It comes at you in sheets, spikes, falling from above as stalactites, but you keep one step ahead.You blast free of the surface in a spray of water. A column of ice follows you up into the air, then recedes as you beat your wings and gain enough speed to leave it behind.You see the Firebird off at the end of the bay, close to where the snowstorm is held on the outside of the island's natural magic. You make for it as fast as you can, and dump yourself on the deck, drenched and covered in frost.Adavan scurries down the stairs from the upper deck. "Shadow! Are they alright?"You retreat your friends from your pocket. Obis and Freja appear next to you. They appear unharmed.Obis puts a hand on his chest and exhales. "Oh, Logi. Thank you." He actually bends over and kisses the deck of the ship. "I'm sorry I said I'd fuck your mother." His gaze finds you. "Shadow, where the hell were we just now? It was just black, everywhere. Couldn't hear, couldn't see. I couldn't even feel Freja. I thought something had gone wrong. Felt like I spent a day in there."<Sorry about that. It was just a safe space I can create. Didn't mean to frighten you.>"Right." He looks to Freja, and his relief turns to concern. He places a light hand on her neck. "...steady pulse." He leans close to her. "I can hear her breathing .I think she'll be alright.">con't
Adavan pushes Obis aside. "Let me check her over for anything nasty that might have come along. And you too, afterward. That demon wasn't - ""Demons, actually," Obis says."There was more than one?!" Adavan shakes his head, then looks at you. "Good thing you got here when you did, Shadow."A cracking sound echoes over the silence of the bay. You all glance back over your shoulders.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAVszi8m4oYAurora's light pulses - and pulses again, flaring from the top of the ice-palace. And you can seek cracks appearing in the frozen waves of water. And then, the mountain shatters with a sound like the world's largest pane of glass breaking to pieces.A massive titan of ice steps out of the remains of the mountain. The thud of its footsteps sends a shake through the ocean as it moves forward.Ice begins to form in a ring around where the ship floats in the bay. The magic that is forming it from the seawater quickly increases in magnitude, stretching under the water and beginning to build a wall up, stopping the ship from moving."Holy shit!" Obis shouts. "That thing is huge!""We need to get out of here, now!" Adavan says. "I'm going to start the engines!"What do you do?>suggest an alternative plan>start those engines!!>taking a moment to heat up food, be right back
>It was just black, everywhere. Couldn't hear, couldn't see. I couldn't even feel Freja....We never considered the psychological implications of our pocket.We're evil.
>>28201406Start those engines.They get out,We get XP.

Our pocket is fucking huge. Pocket the boat and send our friends back to Haven through our portal.Then we kill the titan.
>>28201406have them>>start those engines!!while we attack that fucker.find its core
Time to go titanic + Darkness Within and slap some bitch!
>>28201433Yo that could work as well.
>>28201438i don't wanna waste the xp.lets save titanic until we are sure we need it
>>28201425It got updated as threads go on, most of everything there is out of date to our current goals. You'll just have to continue searching in the threads forward if you want what you're looking for, which you don't seem to know what is exactly.>>28201438I'd rather not spend the XP needed to activate titanic, I think we could teleport our allies to Haven, and then fight the titan.
>>28201438>wasting expNo ill go with this though.>>28201433
>>28201406Quick queries: Is the titan stepping on floes it conjures out of the ocean? Or on the actual bottom of the ocean? Also, how tall is this big bugger? Are we talking a couple dozen stories here? Lastly, can we get an approximate estimate of it's speed? We should be able to estimate it's pace from that foot-step.
>>28201406Send Obis, Freja, and Adavan to Haven with our portal anchor.We can remove the fire dynamo, since that's the most important part of the boat, and send it with them.Or try to pocket the whole boat.
>>28201406This sounds good:>>28201433Warn them this time, I guess.
>>28201425Also don't forget to check Obis and Freja for tracking spells/ parasites. Being pale and on the wall reminds too much of xenomorphs for my liking.
>>28201461I found it actually.>Deal with Flint's parasite>Free Geb, make a new friend>Get all keys,>Find out situation in Kelvere, is the Duke really dead?>Get information on Sandalphon’s movements and the Light empire’s situation>Get in contact with Steward/City 001>Get Obis his throne back>Ask the Elven Queen some very pointed questions about our memoriesThis is one we forgot while over there fighting wrath.>Find Joey>Find out about the Presence we felt when using Focus in the Shadow temple underneath Tarun GaktIS what we need to add to our list.
>>28201484after we deal with the immediate threat.besides even if it did track them it won't help it if we kill it
>>28201484You said this already, addy said he would check them and when they're back in haven we'll have auriel take a look, since she's our healing expert.
>>28201395>Felt like I spent a day in there.Is this hyperbole or does our pocket have time dilation properties we're not aware of?
>>28201516its psychological, it happens when most of your senses are stripped it could drive people insane.
>>28201497>This is one we forgot while over there fighting wrath.which, exactly? find joey? he's in arland most likely because he's a squire, and the elf we already asked just a little while before fighting wrath. Though through the proxy of her sister.
>>28201516>Dave spent 700 years of time in the Nether>He experienced it as several tens of thousands of years.
>>28201528So. Let's not leave anyone in there for a day if less than ten minutes felt like a day.Or we could trap an enemy in there as a non-lethal method of interrogation!
>>28201516Its probably mental.Imagine losing all your senses(they are used in telling time).>>28201531We agreed to talk to her in person.
>>28201406can we dive under the ship and use supersonic to make it jump over the rising wall?
>>28201497>find joeyHOLY SHIT AHAHAHAHAHAHI COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT HIMAGAIN
>>28201531>>28201552To elaborate we talked through a proxy, but were planning on talking to her face to face.
>>28201552>We agreed to talk to her in person.Ask what exactly? Most of the questions about our memories we're answered that thread when talking to her sister.Though we do need to speak to her in person eventually, we'll need a bigger reason than that with so much else left to do.
>>28201565Really we talked about him last thread.>>28201575>we'll need a bigger reason than that with so much else left to do.Possible alliance of her kingdom with our forces and she also could have some more answers about the past and how she was able to change us.
guys could we please go titan?
>>28201610No.XP jewing taking place.
>>28201610No. It's a waste of XP
>>28201603Missed last thread and read only SM's posts
>>28201610>spending precious EXPs on Titan>not spending them on Earth powers
>>28201467It is still on the island, which is in fact land.It's about five stories tall, taller than you when titanic, but not as wide as you could stretch.It stepped over about a fifth of the island in one stride, heading directly toward you.>>28201433You have enough space to pocket the boat.>>28201516The distorted sense of time was due to having his senses stripped.--------------------What do you do?Vote 1:>let Adavan get the engines running and get the boat out to sea while you confront the enemyVote 2:>pocket everything, confront enemy
>>28201603Well that's good enough for me. Let's add it;1.Set up meeting with BL & fang2.try to deal with city 0023.scout Kan-Abar for info4.elf lady for allianceThough the biggest problem with that is actually contacting them.We were only able to talk to her through a proxy in the first place because of how isolationist they are. And because of how isolationist they are there probably isn't a great need to join our alliance, and we don't have much to offer them for that in any case.Other than freeing Geb, ho ho ho.
>>282016612
>>28201661we might need mana
>>282016611
>>28201683We have 18.

Glad someone remembered. I hadn't updated for a while because I thought the goals were clear.A list of ongoing tasks of varying importance, sorted to groups by relation, ongoing starred:Personal:>* Deal with Flint's parasite (Yi Fang's on it, wants a favour)>* Escape the Shrine of Water with your allies>Find your own Place of PowerElemental:>Free Geb, make a new friend (or don't) - Staff of the Winds>Free Hecate by finding all the four keys - 3/4 (Adavan wants this!)>Free LeviathanPolitical/Leaders:>* Return Obis to his throne>* Return Flint to his throne>* See that the summit of powers in Arland works out favourably>Find out what's up with the Elf Queen>Get information on Sandalphon’s movements and the Light empire’s situation>Get in contact with Steward/City 001Misc/Faction:>Repair the Noiralev to full functional capacityPotential new tasks (Mentioned but not yet agreed upon):>End Skysever (Core relatively close to Haven)>Explore the areas described by Blackwater>Find what happened to the Dwarves>Find out about the Presence we felt when using Focus in the Shadow temple underneath Tarun Gakt>Deal with City002>Deal with Dave "Legion" JonesList open for discussion, will attempt to update for each new chapter.
>>28201735Good point. We may not have enough mana to take them out of the pocket in a reasonable time frame. Hm. Really don't wanna subject them to that much sensory deprivation.
>>28201721At the next level of Magic Power, it will be 243 cubic feet.Right now it's only 81. SO MUCH POCKET
I doubt Obis will appreciate being tossed into pocket again.also time seems to be fucked up in our pocket
>warning and pocketing
>>28201765SM just said it was because of sensory deprivation, not actual time shenanigans.>>28201756Please read the pastebin if you don't know how something works. Pocket costs 1 mana per object, regardless of size, to deposit and withdraw.
>>28201765he literally JUST said that time isn't affected, just perception
>>28201765>also time seems to be fucked up in our pocketPlease don't do that, read SM's post about it being psychological.>>28201760>see picThinking what I'm thinking?>>28201749There's a lot missing from that.
>>28201749You forgot>Find out situation in Kelvere, is the Duke really dead?>Find Joey>scout Kan-Abar for info>elf lady for allianceProbably other stuff as well.
>>28201793Install a fish tank in our pocket?
>>28201793we could carry around 1817.76623 gallons of flammable liquid and then drop it on sandalthong and ignite it
>>28201765fffff forgot about that, Obis said it felt like a day in pocket with the short amount of time he was in there, I worry about how long this fight will take.
>>28201790>Please read the pastebin if you don't know how something works. Pocket costs 1 mana per object, regardless of size, to deposit and withdraw.I know exactly how it works good sir, I said what I said because we have a tendency to use mana for spells in fights and in emergencies within fights, so we may want to use them in a limited way, decisively, because of our low mana.
I bet the last levels of Magic Power are in the Shadow Magic tree (the purple one) branching off of Void Ring or Eclipse.
>>28201661>>28201779What? Our pocket's size is less than 3 cubic meters, this boat better be the size of a large bathtub!
>>28201807>>Find out situation in Kelvere, is the Duke really dead?you have got to be kidding me, have you ever participated in this quest?
>>282018183 mana vs waiting a turn for a portal or hoping to escape on a boat.Using 3 mana is quicker and safer.
>>28201825Remember all that gold we fit in our Pocket?Yeah.
>>28201818I very much doubt this fight is going to last the many hours it would take them to burn through their air.. If it's dragging on, we run away, regen mana, dump them in Haven, and come back.
>>28201811>Fly over ring city>Vomit 1800 gallons of napalm on it>Drop a match
>>28201749In Personal add>Find Joey
>>28201820It would make sense.>>28201811>>28201808We can pocket a portion of the ocean, and when our friends ask us where we've been we can vomit it all over them!>>28201833Never argued that it wasn't safer, all I said there was we should be careful to ensure we still have at least that much at the end of the fight.
>>28201832Or have a bad memory the last time we spoke to him was the founding of haven as far as i remember.
>>28201843...I said nothing about the air. But yes, that's a good backup plan.
>>28201855All we need is 3 mana to take them out and 4 to put them in.
>>28201844>gently nudge Xile to Ring City>disable Xile core>colony drop
>>28201825....musn't...musn't fucking rage......FUUUUCKING READ THE THREAD>pic related
>>28201876Yes, and...?
>>28201883I rather like this idea.
>>28201883Would destroying the core help us or hurt us is the better question since its the main thing slowing the angels down.
<I'm going to put you back in that space for safety!>Adavan pauses before the door to the lower decks, considering your suggestion."What?!" Obis shouts. "I really don't want to do that!"<Well, would you prefer to die?!>A thundering footstep makes the boat rock. Obis glances up at the ice titan, then back at you. "Alright, but don't let anything happen to this boat! Blackwater would kill me if it takes more than a scra - "You don't bother letting him finish his sentence before Pocketing him. Adavan nods to you, stiffening a bit as you touch his arm, but vanishing into your Pocket without a peep. You flash away the unconscious Freja, and then you Pocket the ship as well. Wouldn't want it to get a scratch.>mana:14/58You hover in midair above the water, where the deck of the ship used to be. It was a good thing you chose your strategy - the icy arms of the bay are closing, a wall of snow and ice quickly piling up to seal it shut. Even if they escaped the smaller ring of ice still growing around you, they'd be trapped in the shallows with nowhere to sail.The ice titan approaches while you secure your friends. It takes its first thundering step into the water. But rather than sink, a giant plate of ice forms under it, supporting its weight. It stands atop the water, gleaming purple eyes locked onto you.What do you do?>strategies
>>28201897We can easily make 3 mana by waiting or hunting and that is assuming we get none from consuming.
>>28201899>Skysever gets turned off>ecological explosion to l=the likes of which we have never seen>millions getting fucked by the worlds ecosystems in turmoil>so many birds and bugsNo
>>28201883>killing innocents out of spite>>28201749If you really want to make a new list you should look at the more recent trains of thought in the last threads. The 7-post sperge last thread and the objectives outlined by our allies in previous threads comes to mind.
>>28201807Finding about Joey was removed because it was considered a trivial task at the time. He wasn't a story important character either.This is to say, I'm not adding him again since one post only holds so many characters. Sorry.Kelvere situation was removed because we'd just seen him. It may require scouting once again."The" elf lady in "our" woods has already been invited, as I understood. The elf Queen is listed as an upcoming task.If you can suggest any tasks that aren't exactly minor, please point them out.
>>28201909Schattenkrieg its face.
>>28201875Why would you be worried about their time spent in the pocket if not for air?Consuming magic things gives mana, so when we eat the titan, we'll be able to get them out of the pocket immediately.Even if we have to retreat and burn all our mana doing so, we will get 4 back by regen before they die.Mana use is a non issue.
>>28201930>the return of mosquitoes to VeniaWhat have we done!
>>28201909Deep focus for its core.
>>28201909Spend a turn with analyze and focus to find the gooey center. Then do what everyone does. Chew through to it!
>>28201934SM actually said that he found a way to incorporate Joey into the plot. And that we would be running into him again.
>>28201909deep focus to find its core
>>28201909Find it's core. Deep focus it.If it swings at us, multishade and run the fuck around.
>>28201942>Why would you be worried about their time spent in the pocket if not for air?Purely psychological effects, is all. But it's set now so I don't really understand why you're extrapolating so much unnecessarily.
>>28201934look.>>28201666Might be some other stuff later on.
>>28201969This
>>28201909Guys, we don't even know whats it's offensive capabilities is, and if we should be trying to be ranged and aggressive, or wear it down like Wrath. I'd like to propose longer ranged attacks+deep focus for weaknesses before trying anything.
>>28201909deep focus to find whatever is powering it.
>>28201909Deep focus to find the core and then shattenkrieg drill into the fucker
>>28201969>>28201960This works.
>>28201985SM said that they have enough air for a loooooooong time. and Addy doesn't breathe
>>28201909Can we huck some of that shattered mountain at the Titan? We hit like a truck, right?
can't we just like teleport home guys?
>>28202012...At this point I think you're not actually reading the posts you're responding to.
>>28202032i think we are on the opposite side of the bay from the mountain
So does this mean our pocket can be used as a weapon/interrogation method/jail cell?
Maybe we should cast Erode on it.Maybe even buy Corrode to cut its defense and smack the shit out of it.
>>28202036but that would be far to easy.
>>28202052Erode after we find the core of its power would be nice.
>>28202036>Not wanting the Xppleb>>28202038i know that that isn't what you were saying, i was reinforceing your arguement
>>28202036Takes a turn to open p a portal and it can get destroyed or leave haven open for attacks.
>>28202052This buy erode, i have been asking for it since we first unlocked it.
>>28202092We already have erode. Perhaps you mean corrode?
>>28202104Thats the one,
Vote 1:>deep focus to search for weak pointsVote 2:schattenkrieg IN THE FACEVote 3:>go titanic, commence Godzilla battle
>>282021301
>>28202046I think we should certainly keep it's torture aspect in mind for future needs, especially because it's the best non-lethal method ever.Just pop someone in for five minutes, take them out and threaten them with ten, then get gradually longer.They gotta break some time...
>>282021303
>>28202140that is a really good idea. just don't do it to a mage, or we may end up with a more hostile version of Dave
>>28202140We have Adavan.
>>28202164I wonder if Adavan is going to take the keys inside our pocket while he's in there.
>>28202177Oh. Right. He's our mind expert.Well, we have back up system as least for whenever he isn't available.
>>28202130Titanic Darkness Within.Let's do this.
>>28202180I think each object gets its own space. Makes sense with how each object costs a mana regardless of size. Also makes sense for why Obis couldn't see hear or feel Freja. Also makes sense for how we didn't smack the shit out of our friends by throwing a boat in after them.
>>28202180good idea, we should check to see if they are still there.
>>28202230i wondered if they were going to get a boat dropped on themthat makes a lot of sense

You use Deep Focus.This isn't a normal creature. It's the keeper of the magic of this place. That explains why it can change the island itself. It feels similar to the demons - likely its controller.Is it a thinking being? It strikes you that this might be a water elemental - a wild one. Chaotic.With its element in place all around you, doing significant permanent damage will be difficult. You don't sense anything that might be a weak point...It's only a stride away, now. You've either got to take your distance or take action.What do you do?>strategies

Let's just run away. We can dump our friends in Haven, grab a mana refill, and come back.I think buying the suicide bomber shadow clones that Silence used would be amazing for this, but we probably don't have enough XP.
Rolled 44>>28202384This is too risky and we have our allies to take care of. Just retreat and supersonic away. Also, destroying everything here could get us on bad terms with Leviathan later, if we decide to unseal him.

You again focus all your senses, trying to discern more while your enemy is disoriented.And you find what you've been looking for - weak points! The titan's power is centered upon five individual cores positioned inside its massive form. One at either shoulder, two more where its legs meet its hips, and another in its head.But...there's something else.A line of misty-fine Water trails away from the magic titan and back into the shattered remains of the 'palace'...What do you do?>concentrate on the titan for now.

>>28203118he already said there were power cores. eating those power cores will give us xp
It couldn't be more obvious - why fight the puppet when you can go after the puppet master directly?The titan begins to recover as you soar above its head, flapping to make for the ruins of the palace. It wheels about to follow, but you're quick, and it has a lot of mass to move.It begins to snow. At first, you're surprised - you'd thought the weather was being held at bay - but then you feel the magic. It knows you're coming - whatever it is.You dive for the palace as the blizzard increases in intensity. You keep your senses firmly locked on the trail leading from the titan, leaving it several strides behind. You recognize a few of the ruined hallways and - - there.Suddenly, the barren simplicity of the palace, and the ruins, is explained. An inner chamber with walls thicker than the outer ring of the island sits to the side, deep within the palace - revealed only because of the titan emerging. Inside is a glittering treasure - gems, golden-leafed chests, even paintings. In the middle of it all is the unmistakable swell of a Water mana pool.Standing in the middle of the pool is a pedestal, and atop the pedestal is a crystal - half a crystal. Even broken as it is, the smooth half-piece of what must be a mighty gemstone is the largest of its kind you've ever seen.But you can hardly appreciate it, because the swirl of snow has thickened to a near white-out. The snow beats at you, weighing you down as it accumulates unnaturally quickly. Every beat of your wings is harder than the last.What do you do?>strategies
>>28203008Lets go for leg points first, then work our way up.
>>28203148Seriously SM?you didn't put it to a vote? that was some serious EXP on the line
>>28203148blinkconsume
>>28203148Oh holy shit. okay, no quick decisions here, let's think about this.So many implications, I think I might sperge.
>>28203164alternatively blink+pocket it
>>28203148This crystal must be a fragment of the other water related crystal we know of. Grab it and toss it into the pocket, it might be useful yet.
>>28203163Agreed, i'm kinda pissed to. why even be here if we are gonna ignore the exp?
>>28203148I would suggest a spell to clear the snow, and then blink to the location of that crystal on the pedestal.
>>28203187>>28203163Have you seriously not gathered the fact that what has the most XP here is sitting right in front of you? Well, past the white-out blizzard, but still in front.
>>28203187If it has power cores then it can survive on its own after being severed from the gem (and get eaten_, otherwise consuming the gem'd give us all the exp that consuming it would give and more.
>>28203189peace to clear the snow
>>28203148Calling it now. This is a shard of Leviathan. The Keystone of Atlantis Keyword: STONE is the other half.TAKE IT
>>28203197why not have both? but do you really think consuming that thing (which may be part of leviiathan) is the best option?
>>28203189>>28203148Follow this thread of the idea, maybe we should pocket the gem to cut off its endless water mana supply. If the titan is hanging around after that, we can deal with it;>>28203163>>28203187Without being stupid about fighting something that has a telemana source for expansive regen.
>>28203223Yes.We have no use for leviathan.
>>28203240Really?He has no factions or elemental lord friends?
>>28203232Yes, these are my thoughts exactly.Let's be reasonable for a change.
>>28203223I didn't suggest consuming actually, but they were suggesting we fight something that's being supported by a mana pools worth of waterpower, with the idea that we'll get XP from a regening titan.>>28203240I think this >>28203232 would be better to try first. If it's isolated in our pocket we can deal with it later.
>>28203262Nobody'll know.Also, actually, if it really is a shard as some think, wouldn't it sort of integrate with us like shards of erebus did? Sho is wild speculation on my part, but
>>28203277if it has power cores/points then we will get xp from eating those points.
>>28203284but nothin!>bad-dum-tish!
>>28203288Which we can get AFTER we pocket the gem.Entirely reasonable, see.
>>28203284i think there is just 2 halves of the stone

>>28203319yeah plus its not like SM will use his nat 1 to kill us, he already implied that a long time ago.
Ok, so the general strategy I'm picking up is, first, clear the snow, and then blink to and pocket the gemstone.What do you do to clear the snow?>use Peace>Nightblaze (4 mana)>some other strategy
So we're obviously going after the gem, what spell should we use to kill the blizzard? Nightblaze and then blink/fast blink to the gem or what? Some AoE power would be good.>>28203319Nobody in the posts since SM's last post have suggested such a thing.

Guys, we already have 1 broken shard. We literally cannot afford too many of these remember?
>>28203568It doesn't matter if we remember where it is; the blink power works on line of sight. We're in a white out blizzard. The purpose of the nightblaze roll is to clear it so we can blink to the gem, if we don't clear it we don't get to blink to the gem.Can your diluted apathy.

>>28203980>>28203962I'll second the cautionary step of deep focusing while we wait.
>>28203980>>28203985seconded
You adamantize yourself. Sitting in the pool as you are, it's easy to draw upon as much power as you need to get the job done in one easy motion.The whiteout storms around you, but nothing happens.What do you do?>deep focus>retreat to Haven>some other strategy
>>28203999>>28203985>>28203980>>28203962Fourthed
>>28204003>deep focus
>>28204003>retreat to Haven
>>28204003go deeper
>>28204003Pocket all the loot we can find and then retreat to Haven
>>28204003>>>deep focus>>some other strategyDeep focusAnd send our wisp to scout for us.
Maybe this thing is programmed to not be able to attack the area surrounding its power source. That makes sense doesn't it?
>>28204003>>deep focus
>>28204003Now, maybe y'all gonna be mad, but Fae uses FIRE.FIRE strong against water. Fae is only 3 xp
>>28204029That... that could be a possibility.
>>28204042still don't know why we don't get summoning level 1 with this to be used as a cheap precaution.
>>28204042Fuuuuck youuuuuuuuu
>>28204042lvl 1 fae is crowbro.i seriously doubt a few crows will take down this titan.but we should get a round of summoning upgrades after this whole thing is over. fae + ghoul + ghost + summoning lvl 1
>>28204042Maybe ANON should DIE.IN a FIRE.YES.
>>28204042Whatever comes after Fae is probably stronger Fire.I'd support it
>>28204056summoning lvl 1 help with controling our summons, not with how powerful they are.it would only be helpfull if wispbro tried to break control every now and then. or if we summoned stronger things
>>28204060sounds good.But we have both the spirit tree and earth tree parties and the guys who want to get the max resistance.
>>28204060or we could continue trying to get OII'll stick with OI
Btw someone said we don't have any good ranged abilities, what about our stupidly accurate Shadow Beam?I think we could fire that at the ice golem once we've pinged it!
Roll 1d100 to deep focus
>>28204042No. Fuck you man, we've already got like 3 different camps vying for their choices. We are seriously not adding another.Sorry for the language, but this shit needs to be toned down.

Rolled 7>>28204121i was thinking ray of darkness, my bad
You use deep focus.Almost immediately, you sense the five points of power resting within the ice titan positioned almost perfectly above you. You flinch backward into the mana pool, bracing yourself for the worst, getting ready to cast any spell to deflect it - But nothing happens.The snow starts to clear. Steadily, gradually, the magic holding it in place fades. And then you see the ice titan sitting above you, frozen mid-motion. A giant fist is cocked back, ready to attack - and it's just caught there. A puppet with the strings cut.What do you do?>consume>Consume>CoNsUmE>CONSUME>some other inferior plan

>>28204224it was a jokeit went above your headanyone can see it
This is the best consume we've had in a long time.And remember people; it was because of critical thinking and an inability to withstand silly plans.
Rolled 40>>28204236honestly. lets go back down there4 and eat him after this. just cause he is a dick
>>28204236no, lets Manaport home after the CONSUME
So after consuming the golem and the fish we take our friends out of the pocket and fill it up with gold and anything of use we find agreed?
>>28204269Aye aye cap'n.

>>28204263Well I mean it's not like people are slowly going insane in our pocket
>>28204269yup and then we port our friends home and head straight to melody about fang.
>>28204269agreed, time to loot
>>28204263why?unless we go there to drop them off and then come back for loot and to finish exploring the rest of this place and maybe find the natural elemental and eat Mr. Fishy
>>28204281But I just wanted to console the fish on its loss of purpose!
>>28204281eat the cooked up fish.
>>28204281

>>28204281FUCKING THANK YOUBASED SM

>>28204325You're the fish.
Rolled 72>>28204334WAIT A TICK!I'VE SEEN THAT COCK BEFORE!
>>28204281We can still eat it right?
Normally you just wrap things over with your body and absorb them...but this will take a bit of chewing.You climb your way up to the titan's midsection, using spears of shadow to leverage yourself upward. Eventually, you reach its torso.It's like cracking open a nut. Only you're drilling and chipping for a few minutes rather than cracking. You consume the cores one by one. They aren't like the stable power cores you remember from the robots - these begin to dissolve and dissipate as soon as you free them from their icy chamber. You're sure to immediately eat them so as to acquire as much energy as possible.>you've gained 20 exp (46 total)>HP: 81/81And now that you're finished eating, you turn back toward the mana pool, ready to return home with another load of the treasure they all seem to like so much. The sooner you get your friends out of your pocket, the better.Wait.Aren't you forgetting something?It's a smell. That smelly smell that smells......smelly.>continued shortly...
>>28204408So who is ready for some power buying while SM is busy.
>>28204408Smells like WILD ELEMENTAL
>>28204408is it aFISHY smelly mayhapadoodle?
>>28204430earth+wind resist, void walker, shadowrage, kindle, shadefang poison, disguise, army of darkness, grave silence and lightning resistance is what we need for pure darkness and OIBetter get to buyin'.
>>28204430My vote still stand for either Shadow Totem or Machina Vita, and Machina Loqui.Serious guys, throw the Dynamo institute this ONE bone. Spend the rest on whatever.
>>28204472machina loqui and shadow totem first. then that
>>28204408Smells like fish
>>28204477>>28204486Nah, spirit tree first.
>>28204430Void Walker fo sho
>>28204486Works for me.
>>28204472Aren't a few of those locked behind other trees?
>>28204502yep, specifically summoning and spirit
>>28204495>>28204477Why not both.i really want to go down the summon tree
>>28204502Yes.
Why don't we just straight up finish the spirit tree and get the tree bonus.And use what evers left over for MV or ML.
Alright my vote is Dream Walk, Void Walker and Shadowrage
>>28204519Mostly because I have no idea how expensive it will really be to buy those two abilities after confuse, or the one or two after spirit lash. Dats all.
>>28204472We don't need the earth+wind resist for Pure Darkness. We don't know if we need it for OI.
>>28204519No, fuck off.
Rolled 44>>28204542We probably need to complete the dark grey tree to unlock OI. Don't be dense.
>>28204541Lets try to finish up that tree at least since we will still have 17 exp left.
Rolled 26>Nobody wants to open the summoning tree up>When we literally use our only summon all the fucking time, every day.Speaking of, can we use Artifact on our Wisp?
>>28204560wut?we have 37 xp. the shown abilites cost 38 and there are atleast 3 more that re hidden
>>28204567With suggestions like that combined it's almost like you're actively making the people who want summoning sound really damn silly.
>>28204578>you've gained 20 exp (46 total)
>>28204567maybe if we summon a dragon like do'vak or something. but on Wisp? no, that is just stupid
>>28204550you don't know that, hell we unlocked the other powers because of completing trees.>>28204567I was with you until you talked about artifacting.>>2820457846 exp anon.DW 8C 6SL 2SS 12Thats 28 exp.
machina loqui and shadow totem after that I don't really care what else we spend the EXPs on
>>28204586oh my bad, i was adding the them on memory.and mis typed on the 38
>>28204547We need expendable mooks and having summons fills that hole up.>>28204582Agreed the tree is great if we ever get around to it.
>>28204598No machina Vita?Since getting it and totem unlock something.A battle suit.So can we put totems on our construct?
>>28204608Bwahahaahaha yeah if you wanna be cheeky like that, no summoning. At all. Ever.
guys I thought of a name for our airship"The Eclipse"because its so large it blots out the sun
>>28204638We always use our wisp which is a summon.So you will be voting against using him then.
>>28204632We aren't going to be able to wind support for all of MV/Totem/ML, so we're going to have to sacrifice one of the former.
"Shaaadooooow!"<Yes, Auriel?>Auriel jabs her finger at the Firebird, which is not propped up against the side of Haven's inner fortress. "Why is there a SHIP in the middle of my fortress?!"<Well, I had to put it somewhere.>"You couldn't have just, I don't know, held on to it for a little while longer?!"<No,> you say smugly."Fine," she snaps. "Now what the fuck is with the fish?!"The gargantuan fish in question, at least as long as ten men, is now flopping and squirming for breath on the grass in the middle of Haven. <I think it's having trouble breathing,> you say flatly. <Maybe it needs water.>"EXPLAIN!"<It needed to be done. Don't worry about it.>"What the hell are you talking about?"You proffer a painting up to her. It's a beautiful piece, depicting a long shoreline cast in gold and black by the setting sun. A lone woman stands in the sand, barefoot, watching a ship sail away. <I brought you some more treasure. Now we have something to decorate to fort with.>"FUCK!" Auriel storms off, spluttering wildly about the Shadow element, paranoid liches, vampires, all interspersed with curse words."You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Tyrael asks.<I admit nothing.>Tyrael chuckles. "You know,I think she needed that after you sprung the Black Lady on her."<...are you saying this is a good mood?>"You should know by now, Shadow. She enjoys her anger.""I don't," Flint mutters.>con't
Yeah, like I said before, I knew a lot of you were just pretending to be simple.I'm on to you.You know who you are.
>>28204644People could care less for a ship name change especially when it was stated to be in character to name things badly.
>>28204644I've wanted to name it that since we got it. But I think the NyxStyx is here to stay.
>>28204644that has been suggested. im still supporting "The Gavel">>28204632Totems need to be connected to a mana pool to last indefinatly
<Here.> You produce for Flint the giant half-gemstone. Even in the half-light of the early morning, it gleams like blue fire. <Give her this as a wedding present.>Flint has to use both hands to catch the stone as you chuck it at him. "For elements sake, shadow, what's gotten into you?" He eyes the gemstone. "This must be worth half of Arland! ...but, no." He shakes himself. "Seriously. What's with the fish?"You grin and shrug. <I thought everyone might be hungry.> And then you turn your gaze on your hated foe, watching as its twitching and flopping grows weaker and weaker. You narrow your eyes. <It deserved worse.>"...uh...ok then," Flint says."Actually, I love fish," Tyrael says. He rubs his hands together. "You know, us angels have a lot of time on our hands. I came up with a way of using magic to dry fish meat - I can't be out fishing all the time, you know. Mind if I get my hands dirty?"<Please do so.>"Great!" Tyrael, with an odd spring in his step, marches off toward the giant fish. Flint just rubs his forehead and walks off to drop the stone down with the rest of the treasure.It isn't long before the scent of cooked fish is drifting through the camp. Tyrael gains a huge crowd as he works his magic - quite literally. Short beams of light flash up and down the fish's carcass as he de-bones it. You observe the proceedings with relish. Once they here of this, no fish will ever challenge you again. Never again...--------------------------TO BE CONTINUED!Let's get some purchasing done. Or maybe you'd like to save for upgrading Abigail to Chosen? Who knows?Be sure to compile goals and tasks for next time......which will be tomorrow night!

>>28204664Well i can't stop laughing.
>>28204671true, but having one around is bad ass, plus i thought they run on mana so as long as it isn't being used they can stay for ever.
>>28204676Shadow Totem, Machina Vita, and Machina Loqui are my choices.
>>28204676>And then you turn your gaze on your hated foe, watching as its twitching and flopping grows weaker and weaker. You narrow your eyes. <It deserved worse.>Oh my sides
