You turn, and, instinctively, hold out your shard. It merges with your skin.

Your wings flash white, burning with flickers of humanity. You accelerate. The air warps around you. Suddenly, you're a dozen yards away, and Erebus strikes only air.

Another gout of lava erupts under you. You swing away to dodge it. You've got Breeze!

<He's controlling this place. The air, the volcano!> Humanity shouts. <I can still feel shards, though. Some in the lava!>

We can't get any of the shards as they are now. We need a different battlefield.
Also let's use Breeze and zip around like a lightningbolt so that that Chucklefuck Erebus can't fucking hit us.

>>31655503
>try to get us a better battlefield

Keep him off-balance while Humanity is attempting to change the battlefield back to something manageable.

If we're just content to dodge the whole time, he'll begin to focus on the shards themselves instead, which just makes Humanity's job twice as difficult.

<Try to change the battlefield, I'll keep dodging!>

<Alright!>

Lava flares. Explosions like columns of swirling fire roar from the volcano. You tear off and away above the surface of the heat, trying to get above the caldera.

You don't make progress. You rise slightly - and that gives you more time to react to the pillars of lava - but even with Breeze's speed, you aren't making progress.

<Humanity, what's going on?!>

<This space is warped, it's not something you can get away from. It has boundaries!>

A blast of lava explodes where you're headed, rather than behind you. You feel Humanity flare. The pillar is deflected away from you at an impossible angle.

The air begins to shake. The mountain rumbles.

<Humanity!>

<I'm trying! Distract him, or we're going to be in the middle of an eruption!>

<Where is he?>

<Below, near the lava!>

And you see Erebus - he's coasting the flames, seemingly untouched even as you're virtually surrounded with fire.

>>31655896
This isn't going to work the way you think it is; he's convinced that we're the Chaos Entity's last-ditch effort to try and turn him from his duty. He said as much last thread.

>Finally, he looks back at you. And disturbingly, his voice is unchanged, dead and flat. <Using my own memories against me. Chaos, I was dissapointed before, but this is truly your greatest effort yet. I applaud you. But I will win.>

He's going to see that sort of attempted appeal as evidence that we're out of other options.

Amusingly, the whole anti-Chaos war propaganda spiel he was given by his CO back in the day was making a big deal of how they kept trying to appeal to Chaos in all sorts of non-violent ways; gifts, emotional appeals, attempting to sway it with art and music, all to no avail.

Erebus is fully intent on hardening himself to the point where he's no better than the Chaos Drones were.

We really need to rely on collecting and using our shards if our dice will continue to be like this.

An Empowered shard is essentially an auto-succeed on rolls outside of rolling a nat 1.

>>31656304
Small sample size etc, proves nothing.

>>31656287

Well, my DC on magic typically falls to a low of 30 given neutral variables.

All things considered, 28 is good enough. I can give you 2 points in your favor for trying to use the temperature difference to create an exploding ice bomb and then using ray of darkness not to damage him but push him down into the lava. That's a pretty good plan, in my opinion.

You gather your mana and cast Frostbite.

>mana: 69/90

It's a challenge - there's little water in the air. But it only takes a little ice to crystallize to enact your plan.

A flashpoint of steam explodes in the lava in front of Erebus. He opens his wings, struggling to right himself before he plunges into the lava.

The ball of Shadow Magic gathered in front of you fires a Ray of Darkness at your opponent.

>mana: 61/90

The darkness strikes Erebus's back straight on. While you don't think it hurts him much - his aura flares to his defense - the force pushes him face-first into the lava.

And then, the battlefield changes.

It's freezing cold. Snow drifts down around you. The sky is an endless grey blanket of clouds. In the distance is a massive black fortress.

The Frozen Hand.

Erebus is down on the ground, stuck halfway in a snowbank, rather than lava. He's throwing heaps of it aside, struggling toward something.

Are people ok with the idea of using TITANIC to fuck over Erebus if we can take control of the field and shift it to a really narrow location? Like the cave where we fought the Vog.

>>31656778
Yeah I'm shocked too.

But it's always nice to see him approving of resourceful plans. Like the Prince Obin Water Gem giving

>>31656712
>>31656778

Erebus is essentially a Dune mentat ++ at this point. It's not that it's a good distraction, it's that he has to process the data to ensure that it isn't relevant, no matter how small the chance. The idea was to give him useless data to deal with while we slip past, not actually trick him.

>>31656786

THE VOG ARE THOSE THINGS THAT CHAOS WAS SHITTING OUT INITIALLY. REMEMBER? EREBUS CAUGHT ONE AND DISSECTED IT IN HIS SHIP!

>you've regenerated 4 mana (65/90)

You use Kindle.

A tiny flicker blinks to life next to Erebus, a slight mockery of a shard, a black crystal glowing with light.

You see him turn as the light falls on his face.

And then you're in front of him. Your Void Ring activates.

>mana: 53/90

A circle of darkness forms around you. A cylinder of black light hums, then roars. The very air in the space captured by your magic seems to bend and twist under the pressure of the mana.

Erebus struggles forward. His aura is being ripped off his skin - but it's regrowing almost as fast. He crawls another inch. Even if it isn't hurting him, he's pushed back by the force of the spell. <It will take more than that to stop me!>

You grab the shard.

You haven't read Dune?

git gud

IIRC I believe that AI is banned/taboo in the Dune universe, so they have specialists known as Mentats do that job. They're basically humans raised to be supercomputers - forced into being mathematical savants through strict training.

wouldn't the resulting heat and radiation from the star be enough to kill everything near wherever we opened the portal, and would the gravity affect things on the other side of the portal?

When he notices he just expresses disappointment.

>>31657470
I think he did the very first time it happened, and then everyone pointed out the potential for abuse.

>you've regenerated 4 mana (57/90)

You use Tidal Force.

>mana: 47/90

As you dash into the distance, the snow behind you rises into a tidal wave of water.

And then he's right next to you, untouched. He blinked through the wave!

You both Blink ahead in the field of snow. It's a race of reactions. You both kick up clouds of white as you leap across the snowbanks.

It's Peace.

You reach the shard at the same time.You grab it. Erebus grabs it. You struggle and tug, rolling through the snow in a confused tangle.

<Give up, Shadow! You cannot defeat me!> His arm almost catches you across the head. You grow and deflect it.

<Shut the hell up!>

What do you do?

Fine, I will vote for it. You really seem to want us to use it.

>>31657555
Decay lowers strength, right? Max power.

>>31657555
>Hammer. Either he dodges or we hit him.

Inb4 he grabs Hammer from us.

Also, why is he as fast as us when we have Breeze backing us up?

>>31657555
>Hammer
We're warded against the interference that happened last time, and it's our strongest attack at this range.

>>31657572

This maybe buff ourselves too.

>>31657555
Pocket the shard.

What's he gonna do, reach into the nether and take it out?

>>31657555
SM please don't forget our mana regen.

>>31657592

Don't feel pressured, I'm just suggesting your best overall attacks because I figure they'll be popular default options.

>>31657592
he doesn't put the best options in greentext
it's there for being a bad option

>>31657621
Yea, seriously this question
He obviously doesn't have his own breeze, considering our entire purpose for existing was to bring all the shards back to him
So how is he as fast as us

>>31657555
>HAMMER TIME

>>31657659
He's Blinking with us, not flying. Duh.

>>31657659
This isn't a foot race, we're blinking.

>>31657659
It's his mindscape, we're just grabbing enough control to put us on even ground.

>>31657676
>>31657679
>You both Blink ahead in the field of snow. It's a race of reactions. You both kick up clouds of white as you leap across the snowbanks.

This implies physical movement.

Hopefully Humanity's roll was to prevent Erebus from stealing it.

Plus, as SM said, this is a battle between super humans. We had to take time to use tidal force. Giving him the edge with his first blink.

Keep that in mind for some other point during the battle.

I'm just going to do Hammer, because while debuffing him first would increase damage it's not worth incurring the DC penalty of holding him still while you hammer him in the face.
