Recent Events Summary:

You have collected and reforged each Shard of your past self. Three of the four keys to Hecate's prison are in your possession; you are certain as to the location of the last. The Black Lady has joined the alliance between the Great Forest, Felnoir, and Archon. More importantly, you've convinced both you allies in Haven and the Archonians that this is a good thing.

Soon, your collected followers will meet in Arland, ready to shock the world with a force comprised of outsiders and rulers joined together against the demon lords summoned by Kan-Abar.

It's halfway through winter. Auriel has predicted that Kan-Abar won't move until the snow thaws and spring arrives, but rather consolidate control over their newly captured territories. So far, that prediction has held true.

A banquet was held in the Black Lady's honor by Yi Fang, introducing her to the Archon nobility and cementing Abigail as a councilor and major political force. Once again, he's turned the unexpected into a powerful advantage.

Things seem to be aligning themselves as you've planned for some time. However, one last thing weighs on your mind: City 002, the source of the highly aggressive constructs that have repeatedly attacked you.

You've gone back to where they last emerged and are following the path they dug there. But in your way is a nest of vicious, gruesome creatures: the vog...

You bring forward the power to null out chaotic energy. In a flash, a light like darkness fills the room, expanding from your position and enveloping the central chamber, and the outer three, as well.

But the spirit mesh that binds the vog together resists your power. It hums brighter, affirming itself in the face of your denial. There's too many of them in one place!

Their eyes flicker open as one, all locked on you.

<Resolve!>

Your shard answers your call. In an instant, the power of your Nightblaze redoubles. Lose rocks shake with the force, then vaporize, little bits of matter that are no match for the Order you impose upon them.

The connection between the vog pulses, flickers, and dies. The hard, vicious gazes go blank. You see drool leaking out the mouth of the one closest to you. They're totally vulnerable!

Can we earthforge the stunned vog to us+gaping maw to consume them faster? Or is earthforge not strong enough to move them?

>>28425702
>Consume as many as possible.

Grab as much EXP as we can while they are disabled, if they're this crippled they wont be able to resist. The dent in their numbers will make it easier to retaliate if they regain sentience.

what if we used terror to keep them from regrouping, then ate them?

>>28425702
Can we earthforge the ceiling onto them and turn them into a paste for even easier eatin?

>>28425729

Earthforge is strong enough to move them; not all at once, but, say, three or four at a time.

>>28425749

The cavern bristles with stalactites; earthforge could easily loosen these and send them plummeting below.

>>28425702
Terror to stun them further than consume.

>>28425769
Right. Then...
>>28425702
>>Consume as many as possible.
>use terror if they try regrouping/reconnecting

You know how that adamantium vein channeled our deep focus? What if that's one of the methods the robos used to locate various magical sources of power.
If that's the case then... Hopefully the anti-magic nightblaze didn't strike any kind of resonance with the adamantium.

Same. Unless there's truly marvelous things after those two earth powers. The earth tree is full of utility so far so I expect some pretty awesome stuff further down the tree.

>mana: 27/58

You spin up a chewing orb of magic within your maw and launch yourself forward, scooping up and consuming the unconscious vog whole. With their link to one another disabled by your magic, it's quick and brutal work.

>you've gained 8 EXP
>you've gained 4 mana (31/58)

In just a few moments, you've consumed 20 of the Vog in the main chamber. The connection between them flickers once, and then begins to pulse rapidly. They stir on the ground, scrambling to stand upright.

Meanwhile, the Vog in the other chambers have...split up. One group of ten is headed toward the main room in which you occupy; the other group of ten is headed away, seemingly burrowing through the earth in a random direction as fast as a horse can gallop.

What do you do?

>>28426270
How much Mana does that cost again? We're at like half now, and the Vog might be gathering reinforcements.

You gather your mana together in Spirit, and unleash it in a shockwave of pure Terror.

>mana: 17/58

But your magic can't quiet destabilize the currents running between the brutes. As you push your power onto them, they fight back, crawling toward one another, closing the distance that their connections have to cross. Before you can manage to overpower them, the ten vog from the side chamber make it to the main cavern. The extra boost pushes them over the edge.

The connection between 40 vog at once is too great. Your magic slips and rolls over them, dissipating against the cavern.

They form into two groups of 20, as coordinated as clockwork soldiers. A thick band of Spirit connects the two groups, while smaller strings connect individuals to each other. They form a tight-knit pack.

And then they move. One group of twenty stays in back, preparing a spell. The other group marches forward, and then splits again, into two groups of ten, flanking you come either side.

The ten retreating Vog are nearly out of your range to sense...

What do you do?

>consume individuals as they come

I'd still fuck it.

You wait. And wait. The Vog on either side close in. You can feel earth magic building below you.

And then, at the last moment, you blink! A dozen stalagmites grow from the ground like spears - but they pierce only the air where you used to be standing. The two groups closing in pause, momentarily baffled.

And you land on top of the vog focusing on magic, your Gaping Maw already twisting. You sheer off half the bodies of two of them before they can react, and then dark between them, consuming one after another. Panicking, they scatter, somewhat sacrificing coordination to try and save as many bodies as they can.

>mana: 13/58
>regen: 14/58

You manage to consume ten Vog in the confusion! That leaves about 30 in the cave.

>you've gained 4 exp (14 total)
>you've gained 3 mana (17/58)

The other two groups you left behind reform into a block of twenty - and this time, they're the casters! The immediately begin to cast another spell. Meanwhile, the group you blinked into is still in confusion.

And then you feel a rumble of Spirit course through the earth. It comes from the direction the other vog went.

It's strong.

with such a good nightblaze it should make it easier to CONSUME the Vog.

Oh SHIT SM!

You again sent a Nightblaze shuddering through the room. The earthen walls and slick stone invert in color; for a moment, dark is light, and light is dark. And then the magic connecting the Vog comes crashing down once more. Connections severed, they slump into the dirt, useless.

For a moment, your gaping maw stutters - you slip and fumble with the magic. But with your enemies down for the count, at the moment, you got away without consequence.

>mana: 3/58
>regen: 4/58

You leap atop the Vog, shredding and scooping them into your body, absorbing their life force as rapidly as you can.

You manage to consume 15 vog.

>you've gained 5 experience (19 total)
>you've gained 2 mana (6/58)

14 Vog remain. The connection between them attempts to regenerate itself again, pulsing like a magic heartbeat - but it's much more sluggish, this time. You have a moment before they gather themselves.

And then you feel it. A huge presence of spirit enters your sensory field. It's a roiling, tangled mass, centered around a core of spirit that shines like a sun. You've rarely felt such concentrated power. It's headed right toward you, but you still have a little time...

What do you do?

>continue to consume the Vog before you

If we die in a Cavern trying to Solo a Vog horde I might strangle somebody

>>28427316
Right. Because Vog are terrible at magical detection and that is TOTALLY worth the risk.

>>28427319

I honestly don't know why people are so worried about these guys, but not about the other shit we faced before.

>>28427331
Yeah, I'm not really concerned about dying here. I am mildly concerned about the resources we've used up thus far, though. We've almost completely tanked our mana.

>>28427351
Annnnd thus the huge group of them with spirit power that shines like a sun is just as likely to detect us as the sleeping Vog were! My, you are a genius aren't you?
Nope, sorry. Not worth the risk just to "take a look."

Roll 1d100 to CONSUME

>>28427331
We're being approached by a spiritual presence stronger than anything we've encountered before, in the Trimorian(is that right?) Deep. yeah, nothing could go wrong, considering the remaing Vog will watch us leave and probably relay that information to the thing coming, and if we stay to consume we get stomped on.
Yes, I'm the only 2 vote, and yes I'm mad.

Can we leave now and go do more important things?

>>28427418
The main reason is that the sleeping vog only noticed us when we attacked, because they were sleeping an unawares of us while we were stealthing. While the incoming group is aware of a threat and looking for a fight.

It's less the qualitative assessment of power and more of how one was a sneak attack on sleeping enemies and the other is a gigantic magical force looking for an enemy to smash. And that anon from before wanted to "take a look" at it.
Knobs.

LET'S CONSUME THE VOG THEY SAID.

You manage to consume the remaining Vog; as you eat them, one after another, the natural repair of their spirit connection slows to a crawl, and then stops altogether once their numbers dwindle to 5. You scoop them up and erase them.

>you've gained 6 exp (25 total)

Ok guy y'all got us in this shit time to put out game faces on, we have two choices stay and fight or fast blink away.

>>28427607
Vogsumption isn't bad because we have nobody around that is likely to be killed by it. Shadow is the tankiest thing alive when it comes to Spirit magic. And there aren't any allies around to have it blow up in our face on.

This thing might smack the crap out of us, but it's not in the same league as the others.

Also, the "Guess the password, nuke own palace" should totally be on that list.

You barely dodge out of the way as a rolling ball of Spirit power blasts through rock and stone and into the chamber. You hit the deck, shielding yourself from the debris, but you can't dodge everything.

>you've taken 3 damage (78/81)

The dust clears. A vog appears in the hole.

Only it's attached to another vog, hooked together by the claws on its hands and feet. And then another, and another, in an interconnected chain four vog thick and extending back into the hole. And they aren't still - they're crawling, moving, squirming around each other as if they're the muscle of a giant hand.

The vog-beast rolls its way out into the cavern, half stepping forward, half sliding along in a living conveyor made of creatures. Before you is a tangled mass of more vog than you can easily count. It's a construct seemingly made from vog as if they're bricks.

A heavy Spirit power coats the outside of the creature, projected from an inner core. You can't sense individual connections between the vog - it's all one giant pulsing monstrosity.

What do you do?

>>28427716

I would be for that or gravity.

>>28427734
Oh my fucking god.

It's a Vog Titan.

With what we are about to go into with City 001 and 002 I think getting Army of darkness would be a better call as it would give us a big window to escape if we need to, but would also help if we want to distract enemies.

>>28427767
Guys can enslave work on it?

>>28427798
Here let me check SM's notes, I'll be right back.

>>28427752
>>28427776
>>28427780
If nightblaze had trouble attacking the mindnet of the other much smaller groups I don't think we can rely on the DC to be manageable on our current streak at all.
Seriously, we didn't even sense individual connections to sever; it's a giant mass of pulsing spirit.

>>28427767
this if it can work on it, if not 420 nightblaze

>>28427798
Spirit on Spirit. I doubt it.

>>28427813
then how about enslaved or mind crush?

>>28427827
They're both single target attacks. I'd prefer something we know will work:
Dark Blizzard.

>>28427734
Vog Voltron

My god

Could we use impressions and enslave as a wombo combo? Like the thing with isolation the first time we met the vog?

>>28427843
it is a single target

>>28427873
If it is as much as the context implies so, then it's going to be resistant to the same kind of magic that it's using to shield and connect itself.

At the moment it seems like they are one being,

>>28427910
can you explain to us enslaved.

Adamantize
Iron stomach
Use earth forge to funnel the fuckers into your mouth

And now that I looked closer we don't have the mana to cast DB. Hm.

Adamantize+DW.

>>28427923
The thing with hivemind creatures, usually, is that mind attacks can be shrugged off because they have plenty of minds to "pad" themselves from effects and resist other efforts.
You're basically suggested a hijack of their entire connection network of pulses, I don't think we can reliably roll three 90+ dice.

>>28427952
stop with the earth forge plan already.

Buy Army of Darkness.

Use Army of Darkness

Sneak while there is a Army of Darkness

Use (insert ability here)

>>28427944

What do you want me to clarify? Here is the ability description:

Enslave - Target comes under your direct control, but with the loss of all initiative; you direct them like a summon. While controlling an enslaved target, you can use no other magic (any ability which requires mana). Only 1 target can be controlled in this manner at a time. People released from your control will remember what they have done while enslaved. (5 to 20 mana)

How about running, why does no one consider running. We have absolutely no reason to be in this situation, and even less to fight this thing considering how low our mana is.

What if we learn spirit siphon and then use that to get our mana stores back up?

>>28427980
would it affect a hive mind the way this anon siad
>>28427962
if not nightblaze.

>>28427999
Because we would lead them back to camp wouldn't we?
