"Very well. Though we have never had a goblinoid ruler before, the Glimmering Fields would fall under your domain. Your very presence in the material realm would influence your surroundings, shaping them more to your subconscious will. In addition, you will be able to use the astral pearls native to this world as magical catalysts on the prime plane." He says, matter of factly.

"Okay, that's neat. So what does any of that mean?" Seriously, he's gonna need to break this down for you. The castellan sighs, and explains it to you:

If you claim the throne, you will exert a base influence on your surroundings. This influence is known as your 'domain'. In addition, you will be able to use astral pearls to execute magical rituals.

If you destroy the throne, you will destabilize the Plane of Light by eradicating one if its pillars. It is unknown how this will effect the world. What is certain, however, is that it will create a void where this realm would have previously existed. There is no knowing what will fill that void.

Is this a small throne, a medium throne or a big ass throne?

>>31664103
>My job is to wreck things up. I don't have time for your dumb magical games. Sorry!

I kinda want to see this potential void.

>>31664103
>>Alright, so I'll just sit in your dumb chair and get super powers. Done deal.
It's a chair, it'll definitely be more comfortable than the ground.

>>31664103

>>31664444
I hope we get a magical girl costume!

>>31664475
I hope this throne has a sweet effect or gives a golem or something. Actually since we killed the golems what is stopping some scrub coming in and stealing our throne?

>>31664475
We really just need a fancy hat, though, our clothes are already the most styling clothes ever.

>>31664475
MGNQ pls go. If we get superpowers, then it's got to be something that makes us look cool.

>>31664523
And come with a free grappling hook.

>>31664516
The fact that we already claimed it might make it impossible for them to drink from the goblet anymore.

And if they do, we'll probably be sent back to this weird dimension to beat up whoever is contesting us for the throne.

>>31664550
So we would be our own forest hunters covenant?

So can Shax cast Wish now if we get enough pearls?

>More Dominions 4 references

You should pay /domg/ a visit over on /vg/ and play with us sometime, Cheif

You look around a bit. This place is super bright. You're not sure you want to rule over it or anything like that. But, you did come all the way out here just to see what the fuss is about. Sitting up, you brush off your legs and walk over to the throne.

"Alright. So all I gotta do is sit in this thing, and I'll get super powers? Sounds good." Up close, the chair is huge. A massive stone thing that doesn't look very comfortable at all.

"Well, I mean, there is more to it than tha-" You hope onto the chair, scooching over to one side. You aren't big enough to reach both armrests, so you just lean on one, and kick your legs while waiting for something to happen.

A few minutes pass. "Okay, so what now? Where are my super pow-" A clanging noise is heard. The sky in the realm darkens until there is a cave over it, but the water still glows. Lining the walls are faintly glowing moss of all kind. The huge hazy shapes turn reptillian in shape, and the castellan body appears to be in flux. "Um. What's happening?"

"You're shaping the domain to suit you, Ascendant." His voice warbles as it slowly reaches some sorta nice motherly tone that you like way better. The hazy shapes keep shifting until they become large, crystal turtles. Way cool. Eventually the castellan's form beomces that of some sorta squid headed turtle man with a fish tail. Kinda creepy. "And I see my appearance has been decided... Oh well, now that you have wrested control of this domain, I grant unto you your monthly stipend of astral pearls. Use them wisely."

>You receive three astral pearls! They're pretty.

You hold one in your hand. It's perfectly round, and softly glimmers. You kinda wanna make jewelry out of it, somehow. "So, um, how do I use it?"

The castellan bows, "It is simple. I can teach you."

"That sounds like it will take a long time, I'm kinda in a hurry." You do need to get back to your job, you know. "Do you got some sorta beginner's guide or somethin'?"

Your manservant's tentacles writhe for a moment, "Oh. Uh, I guess..." His arms enter his shell, and you hear rustling around. "Ah, here we go. Here is a beginner's guide to Channeling your Divine Magic Via Catalysts of Your Own Design. It should prove enlightening." Neat!

>You have learned five Divine Feats! Each feat consumes an astral pearl. These feats are:
>Summon Glimmering Guardian Group - You can summon four huge crystal turtles to help defeat your enemies! Their existence is permanent, but they cannot travel far from their summoning spot.
>Summon Mossy Habitat - You can create a cave structure filled with sweet glowing moss. This moss can feed you and any other goblinoid for at least a few months. This cave structure is made out of crystal. It is pretty conspicuous, but you can make a base near instantly with it.
>Create Crystalline Spear - You can make a massive lance of crystal and launch it at a target.
>Super Scrying Glass - You can create a crystal orb that will let you check out a place far away. Only one place though. A place you're thinking about when you make the orb.
>Blindness - If something can see, you can blind it.

That all seems pretty useful! "So, how do I learn more?"

The turtle squid fish bows, "Simply arrive back in this realm, and I can give you further study aids."

"Alright, and how do I do that?"

"You must use an Astral Pearl to teleport back to this realm. Alternatively, you can sit on the material equivalent to the throne." You oughta keep that in mind.

>You learned: Recall - Glimmering Caves!

That was a lot of stuff! "Okay, thanks. Now I'm going to go back home. See you."

"Goodbye mistress."

Your eyes snap open, and you're sitting on the chair back in the old cave. It's changed appearance to look like your new Glimmering Realm. Neat!

"Oh, hey boss." Fetidclaw waves at you. She's lounging on the ground. In some sort of leather bikini.

You rub your temples, "Fetid, please put some more clothes on."

"C'mon, Boss. I'm enjoying myself. This reincarnation thing ain't so bad, everyone should try it."

"Fetid!"

"Alright, alright." Fetid walks over to Allonces, "So, you got anything I can wear?"

"Not anything in your, uh, size." The elf woman says in an annoyed voice.

You clap your hands, "Stop mucking about! We got things to do. Now that we got no more lame lizard traitor with us, we don't have to worry bout skeletons. That ought make progress much faster."

Brokagh spits, and looks up at you, "Progress to what, boss?" You've got plans!

But what are they?

>Keep going to Utalaga! You're a super boss now, let's stop the ritual.
>Maybe we ought check out that temple from earlier.
>Unlimited power! Let's hope over to Pythilius and see if we can't find out where other thrones and altars are.

>>31664836

>>31664812
>squid headed turtle man with a fish tail
All of my favorites!

>>31664876
>Keep going to Utalaga! You're a super boss now, let's stop the ritual.

>>31664876
I hate rituals and they are terrible and you should really go stop it now.

>>31664876
>Unlimited power! Let's hope over to Pythilius and see if we can't find out where other thrones and altars are.

>>31664876

>Unlimited power! Let's hope over to Pythilius and see if we can't find out where other thrones and altars are.

Yessss, power. Unlimited powerrr--

>Keep going to Utalaga! You're a super boss now, let's stop the ritual.

Oh, right. We should do that before they complete the ritual and maybe consume whatever the dragon lady wants in the process. But THEN power.

>>31664876
>Keep going to Utalaga! You're a super boss now, let's stop the ritual.

>>31664876
>Unlimited power! Let's hope over to Pythilius and see if we can't find out where other thrones and altars are.
I thought we already had a map with all the altars marked or something.

We should scry the ritual location just to make sure we have time, though.

>>31664876
>Unlimited power!

Also, we still need to go to that flying snake temple and get us some new mounts. Now, you might say that counds as a detour, but I think it ought to speed things up quite a bit in the long run!

>>31664876
>Keep going to Utalaga! You're a super boss now, let's stop the ritual.

>>31664876
Which one of these choices is the dragon lady's quest?

I vote for that one.

>>31664876
>>Keep going to Utalaga! You're a super boss now, let's stop the ritual.
This seems urgent.

>>31664947
>We should scry the ritual location just to make sure we have time, though.
That's a pretty good idea.

>>31664876
>Unlimited power! Let's hope over to Pythilius and see if we can't find out where other thrones and altars are.
We can afford a little detour.

>>31664876
>Stick to the plan, which was the fastest way visiting both the altars and ritual place. Hit the Altar on the way to the ritual site.

Don't we already know where the other altars are? And weren't we originally travelling along a path that would lead us to the ritual as we hit them?

>>31664876
>>Keep going to Utalaga! You're a super boss now, let's stop the ritual.
Sweet ass magic powers get. I just had an idea that if Fetidclaw didn't like his new form then maybe we could go back to the creepy mask guy to see if he could help him but he seems fine.

Can we stop the ritual and get all of the thrones on the way back?

>>31664876
>Keep going to Utalaga! You're a super boss now, let's stop the ritual.

>>31664876
How'd you mess up the name again, Chief?
>Maybe we ought check out that temple from earlier.

>>31664985
Uhhh, I don't think we can. Probably better to stop it now and get power on return trip.

>>31665069
Yeah, This whole trip has pretty much been a detour so far anyway.

>>31665032

You know where the three Light altars are. Who knows what kinda other ones are out there.

>>31665051

Jeez, I dunno. 4chanX maybe. I guess it goes back to whatever you posted last when not using the inline posting.

Anyway, writing!

>>31665000
>>31665032
Yes. Why are we changing now. It was said that two altars were on the route to the ritual site and we could hit the other one on the way back.

Can't we just scry the ritual spot to see if we need to go there right now or not?

It would also serve as a means of scouting the place out and we could prepare an infiltration plan.

>>31665120

Do you guys want to?

>>31665137
Sure, why not.

>>31665137
I'm cool with it.

>>31665137
No. Doesn't worth the pearl. We are going there.

>>31665137
No. Just head over there and get the job done.

>>31665137
Let's not waste a pearl this soon.

>>31665137
Nah lets just go already.

>>31665137
nao

>>31665137
Might as well. Oh by the way chief just how big are our new turtle friends?

>>31665221

Maybe a little smaller than a T-Rex. More like an adolescent elephant, if that makes sense.

Alright. Guess you'll not use it for now.

>>31665137
Yes, it's exactly what the pearls are for.

So do we have some kind of environmental warping thing on top of the astral pearl divine feats or do we have to pay for that too?

>>31665285

You sort of do. It works here, since the throne is a direct connection to your dominion, but outside of that you have to be in a spot for a loooooong time before caves start to rise out of the ground with glowy moss and shimmering water.

>>31665271
>they can't travel far
why you make me feel sad Chief? When can we get an upgrade that let us ride winged turtles that can sail gracefully over the clouds and waves alike.

I really hope we don't end up hoarding these pearls and never using our divine feats?

How do we get more, anyway?

>>31665359
This. We need to know how to replenish them.

We can get back to the altars after we deal with the main quest, right?

>>31665359
>I really hope we don't end up hoarding these pearls and never using our divine feats?
That's not happening. Not with us.

>>31665359
>>31665380
he said we get a monthly stipend of 3

>>31665324
Or a turtle with a giant sword in its mouth.
>>31665359
according to castalen bro we get them monthly.

>>31665407
>>31665419
Wonder if we can increase the monthly stipend if we take more altars.

>>31665454
well, he said that was the monthly stipend for that altar

so obviously we'd get other stipends from the other altars.

>>31665454
They each give three probably.

>>31665454
Probably. That or we start to pick up other gems.

>>31665380
We just captured a throne, and thrones have a magic gem income. Right now we have astral pearls, but I presume we'll be able to get the other kinds of gem in the future.

You yawn and stretch your arms. It has been a busy day, and you need to get a move on. Idly you wonder how the throne will protect itself while you're gone, and then you see a pair of shimmering guardian turtles rise out of the water.

'oh fuck, more?' 'they just keep coming' 'can we get out of here now, please?'

"Everybody calm down!" They all turn to look at you, "These guys are my new pets that I got just now. I'm something like their master or something. I dunno. These thrones are confusing." You walk over to one of the turtles and pat it on the nose. It isn't as soft as you think turtles are. Slowly moss grows over its face, and the whole thing is much softer. Rad! You can get used to this. "So don't worry, I got them under control. They're gonna sit here and guard my chair while we're out."

Allonces gives you a weird look, "You sure you know what is going on here, boss?"

You'd like to say nope, but it'd be a little embarrasing. "It's none of your business, Allonces! Anyway, they'll guard this place while we're out. So let's get back to business. We gotta stop that ritual." Your minions shrug and nod. Back to business!

As you predicted, the lack of skeleton harassment makes the going much quicker, and with the help of Sitri's dryad friend, you quickly exit the swamp and enter the jungles of Utalaga. "According to your map," Fetid says, mouth full of some kinda root that she is chewing on, "We should be in the country of Utalaga now." She folds it back up and nods in a direction. "Which would explain the outposts I saw not far away. It is just a few guard towers. What do you wanna do about them?"

>I don't want no trouble. Let's just sneak past them.
>What the heck. We're here to sack the city anyway, let's wreck them up, too!
>No need to be mean. Let's be friendly. If we can get a diplomatic way into the ritual site our lives will be easier.

>>31665486
Nah, different Thrones give different amounts, assuming we are operating on Dominions logic.

>>31665534
>What the heck. We're here to sack the city anyway, let's wreck them up, too!
I'm assuming with our new reality warping passive it's just about impossible to sneak.

>>31665534
>What the heck. We're here to sack the city anyway, let's wreck them up, too!

>>31665534
>Sneak

>>31665534
>I don't want no trouble. Let's just sneak past them.

>>31665581
Our reality warping passive doesn't kick in unless we decide to camp out here for a week or two.

>>31665534
>What the heck. We're here to sack the city anyway, let's wreck them up, too!

>>31665534
>>No need to be mean. Let's be friendly. If we can get a diplomatic way into the ritual site our lives will be easier.
Light is insidious with its way of making a goblin girl turn to the good side.

>>31665581
Will the reality warping start affecting our party? Will Allonces turn into a goblin or fish person?

>>31665534
>I don't want no trouble. Let's just sneak past them.

>>31665534
>Let's wreck one of them and ask them questions. Like the place of ritual. Enemy's numbers and stuff. You know the kind the boss' always want to know.

>>31665396
I don't see why we need to do so. Two of the thrones are on the way to the ritual sight, I believe?

>>31665534
>sneak

Go ninja, go ninja! GO!

>>31665622
I don't know where you're getting that number from.

>>31665647
I dunno, depends on if she counts as surroundings.

>>31665685
See: >>31665308

I'm pulling the number out of my ass. But it's based on the fact that the environmental changes won't kick in unless we stick around for a loooong time.

>>31665665
I think they are along our route back.
>>31665639
Diplomancing with the undead summoning dudes doesn't sound super good.

>>31665665

There is one in Utalaga. And one that is to the south of where you are, and back towards Lanketh.

>>31665622

Nope, you won't change anyone who isn't a native of the Glimmering Plains.

>>31665685

Two or three weeks is a fair estimate. I don't have a hard number. It is a very gradual change, though, for certain. I'd probably say closer to two or three months, though.

If you stay in a place long enough it will be connected to the Glimmering Plain and you can just have natural guardian turtles there.

Regardless. Writing!

>>31665710
>>31665731
Ok, I know it didn't happen for a while, but I felt like it would give us some kind of noticeable aura.

>>31665731
Shax Bonemurdered, claims one throne and already has better dominion powers than 90% of the gods in Dom 4.
>>31665780
Probably does if you are a priest or something.

>>31665731
>>31665728
Oh, well, that's fine then. We can just roll over and capture the thrones on our way back.

>>31665731
Will capturing more thrones cause the process to speed up?

Like a week?

Also how many thrones are there? 3 total and we have one?

>>31666118
There are 3 altars of this kind that we know.

Ya know I gotta wonder what it is whit Shax and turtles. I mean their cute and all but is that really all there is to it?

>>31666138
Shax seems to have an unusual connection to sea life and sea related things in general.

Maybe she's half some aquatic race.

>>31666138
How will our turtles attack?

Turtles aren't the most offensive of beings

>>31666138
Uhhh fucking typos. Should not be questing with out having slept.

"Hmmmm," You close your eyes. You're going to have to fight your way out, probably, so you might as well fight your way in? "Is it something we can avoid on the way back out?"

Fetidclaw shrugs. "It isn't a particularly large outpost. We can probably skip it if you wanted to." She raps a knuckle on the map, "Utalaga is a pretty big place. I doubt these guys will hit us up, even if we're burning down the countryside around us."

With a nod you glance at the direction Fetid pointed out. "Alright. So here's what we'll do: Sneak past this one, smash any place big enough to be a problem on the way out." You're a raider. Let's just behave like this is a place to raid! You've got plenty of experience doing that.

Sneaking past the outpost isn't much of a problem, but the jungle is making you all super sweaty. Everyone complains about the humidity. It is a big old grouch party in fact. You eventually happen upon an Utalagian patrol, and see that the people that live here wear basically nothing. You don't blame them, even as you kill them all. They weren't exactly tough. Everyone on this continent feels super weak, and it makes you wonder what the big deal with this place is?

You bring this point up with Bearbreath, Brokagh, and Fetid around a campfire one night. Sitri said she was gonna go stargaze and write songs, and Allonces said she needed her beauty sleep.

>>31666159
Have you ever played an action RPG with turtle monsters in it?

They retract into their shells and become balls of spinning death.

>>31666159
they bite like motherfuckers though

how horrifying

>>31666159
Eye beams.

>>31666157
Half sea elf? Half mermaid? Half deep one?

>>31666159
Your ignorance amazes me. You are dumber than the dumbest goblin in the Dumbheads Cave.

"Well, boss," Brokagh says, with a mouth full of salted meat, "That's the thing about this continent. The average person here isn't great, but the strong guys are all super powerful. You remember Reklatul? He was weak for a lizard guy, right? But he could still summon a bunch of super skeletons on a moment's notice."

Fetid stretches out. She really seems to be enjoying her new body, "Magic is much more alive out here. So anyone who is a sorcerer tends to quickly find all sorts of ways to abuse their strength. Most people don't like this continent very much, because most people can't use magic." Fair point.

Bearbreath grunts, and says nothing. His lynx walks over to where Fetidclaw is laying on her back, and the orc woman scracthes his neck, "To the point, tomorrow is going to be a fun day. There are two major spots we're not going to be able to avoid: Some sorta temple, and what looks like some sort of massive graveyard with a town built on it. We can get around one, but only if we hit the other."

>>31666207
>>Smash up the temple! Might as well see what the priests here are all about.

We already didn't destroy the altar even though we told the priest of that guy who sticks people in the ground that we would. So let's avoid messing up the place where they put people in the ground at least.

We have a ritual to stop and chairs to sit. And we gotta do it in a hurry because we need to turn back. Don't waste time on useless fights here.

>>31666422
We are sitting in all the chairs before we leave.

I've never seen so many split decisions in OSW questgoers. Usually we're pretty unified.

I think you're getting better with supplying choices, Chief.

>>31666541
It is not the choices, it is the situation. Normmally we are relaxed as fuck going pretty much anywhere we feel like. Now we have a timetable but some anon still act like we alwyas do while others try to use time efficiently.

So some Roleplay and others Rollplay.

>>31666597
No? That is utterly unrelated to what i just said. They both roleplay, they just play it differently.

>>31666597
I dont think anyone is rollplaying seeing as we have yet to even roll yet.

>>31666639
Doing what the Character would do is Roleplaying.

The Character would only do one of those.

It's "Go and Do whatever the fuck she wants"

"Go to bed, dummies. We hit the graveyard tomorrow! They like dead people so much? We'll give them a lot more!" You chuckle to yourself. That was a good one.

'Whatever. Night, boss.' 'Sure thing, boss.' 'What'd you say? I was eatin.'

Maybe you need to figure out how to inspire them more.

Regardless, you wake up bright and early. It has been a long time since you properly raided a town, so you're excited! "Everybody get up! We've got a raid to do, and we're going to do it proper!" You start your morning drills while shouting animatedly. Everyone groans and gets up slowly. Maybe they've learned bad habits out here in this lazy country?

After you get everyone hustling and bustling, Fetid leads you over to the graveyard town. A quick inspection shows it is lightly guarded, though there are a ton of zombies. Like, a whole hell of a lot. "Hey, Fet, do you know if there are any priests out there?"

Fetidclaw spits, and wipes her mouth with the back of her arm, "I don't know what they look like, to be honest. I guess I was expecting some kinda feathered headdress. I don't see anything out here like that." She's right. Nothing out here looks particularly priestly. Still, that is a lot of undead. Maybe they just live a gross life like this.

Anyway, it doesn't look particularly well guarded. What's the plan?

>Unleash the summons! You'll make some turtles, Bearbreath will summon some animals, and you'll roll over them with sheer numbers.
>Stealthiness! Fet, Bear and his cat, Brokagh will sneak in. You, Sitri, and Allonces will slam into the perimeter while those three cause havoc inside.
>Let's just take em out up front and personal. Raider style.
>Some other plan?

We are working towards them anon. We don't get many Boss points out here with a small group though. We will get them after we return.

>If you want it, come up with a fun plan!
I came up with the plans that got us that last boss point but I've been blanking ever since.

>>31667016

A solid roll. Let's get to writing.

>>31667016
I wanted to summon turtles and use them as mounts. We could ride Druidbro as he rides a turtle, using our massive sword to hit the enemies on the ground.

>>31667047
I want to launch our turtles from catapults.

>>31667078
I wonder if we can just throw the pearl and then summon turtles

>>31667047
That isn't good. Not in the slightest.

Besides, turtles are slow.

>>31667078
This would work in a nice seige for causing havoc.

>>31667078
I want to mount catapults on turtles and use them as mobile artillery

>>31667108
We Yugi-Oh now.

>>31667108
That's actually a good idea.

>>31667108
Would be good if the turtles weren't bound to a single area.

>>31667108
I want the turtles to do that crazy spin attack thing giant turtles do in action RPGS and ride on top of it with our sword out.

>>31667108
If we can ever unlock the Turtles' roaming function that would work.

>>31667192
Yeah, that really makes them not very useful.

>>31667133
I swear I didn't even know that was a thing.

>>31667202
You can't ride something that rolls.

>>31667273
HQR

>>31667262
Yes you can.

>>31667221
They're permanent, take no maintenance or food, don't need to sleep, and are pretty strong. They make great guards. It's just Shax doesn't guard things. She smashes things other people are trying to guard.

>>31667296
Nor do i want to.

>>31667313
No, you can't.

>>31667339
Gonna need to get the roaming function for them.

>>31667221
They are very useful actually.

You get closer to the town, raising your sword up and yelling a fierce warcry. Gotta get in the spirit of things! You hear the shouting from your loyal companion minions. It's been a while since you mounted a charge on basilisk back, and the undrebrush here isn't very conductive to it, so it is a bit of a mess. Bearbreath's lynx goes barrelling past you and assaults the nearest officer-looking person it sees, bearing it to the ground in a bloody mess. Almost as one unit, all the zombies turn to face it at once. Creepy.

Crashing into the line of zombies, you take a few wild swings, cutting through them easily. This isn't so bad. Allonces gets in, and starts lancing things, using the dark chains from her hex to start hooking various zombies together, then using it as a giant flail to trip up others. Girl is inventive, you'll give her that.

Sitri goes running in, tackling a guy with her shoulder, before whipping her sword out, and cutting him up the middle. She starts tooting on her horn, causing the various zombies around her to start writing in pain, before falling to the ground in a quivering mass. She winks at you, "I'm a priest, you know."

Anytime someone looks like they are starting to rally the defenses, Fetidclaw takes them out with an arrow to the head. Breabreath is just wading through a tide of zombies in grizzly form, mauling anything that comes close, as Brokagh dashes between hordes of zombies, punching the skull off anything that looks dangerous. Just like we drew it up, boys.

Suddenly, a man with a solid golden helmet shows up, and people come running to him. With a wicked knife out, he starts cutting down his own allies, the blood swirling into a weird tentacle. "That guy's trouble!" You shout out, Fetid misses a few shots, and an ice lance from Bearbreath goes wide. You're not sure who can get to him fast enough.

The blood pillar stretches out and slams into the remains of the zombies you've been fighting. A groan is heard, and a shape forms inside the crimson tide. A giant of corpses rises up with a roar. Oh jeez.

What's the plan?

>Spellcaster is priority!
>>Brokagh, you're an assassin. Assassinate that guy while we take out the giant and the rest of the foot troops.
>>Allonces, lance the dude with the knife to death, jeez, get to it you lazy elf!
>>I'll handle Mr. Spellcaster personally!
>Some other plan!

>>31667479
Blood magic is so lame. Shax, go chop him.

>>31667479
>>>Brokagh, you're an assassin. Assassinate that guy while we take out the giant and the rest of the foot troops.
Brokagh is Mr. Reliable.

We'll Solo the Giant.

>>31667479
>>31667479
>I'll handle Mr. Spellcaster personally!
Crystaline Spear.

>>31667339
>>31667381

That's the advantage, though. If we ever need to guard something, the turtles make it so Shax doesn't have to stay to do it or leave anyone else to do it. Crystal turtle golems don't get bored like a goblin does, so they're perfect for that.

>>31667339
You know what, this shouldn't even be a problem. We just need to ask Seamom to help us out. Turtles should fall under her field of expertise, right? And while we're at it, we could also try to take care of whatever is preventing us from gaining more FMMM.

>>31667507
Oooh do this.

>>31667479
>>Create Crystalline Spear - You can make a massive lance of crystal and launch it at a target.
Let's try this one out on the MAgicman.

>>31667479
>>Brokagh, you're an assassin. Assassinate that guy while we take out the giant and the rest of the foot troops.

We can hack apart the giant easy enough I think. We can use Scuttle to cleave through a leg right at the get go.

>>31667507
Try it.

>>31667479
>Spellcaster is priority!
>>Brokagh, you're an assassin. Assassinate that guy while we take out the giant and the rest of the foot troops.

Have Fetidclaw also shoot some arrows at the spellcaster, it'll get his attention and hopefully give Brokagh a better chance to punch his face inside out.

We'll deal with the giant, chop one of its ankles off, and someone should set it on fire. Fire solves everything.

>>31667479
Let Sis Brokagh handle the caster.

>>31667783
One of those votes for Brokagh came after Chief started writing.

Spear won.

>>31667843
But within the ten minute voting period

>>31667874
There is no 10 minute voting period. Chief called it before the vote came in.

You're really bending over backwards to hoard one fucking pearl.

I miss the times we played with 5 people.

>>31667911
We should be saving them for "Oh Shit!" moments

You don't have time to let him cast more magic! Besides don't you have super sweet god powers, now? "Hey, Brokagh?" You call out. He grunts as he roundhouse kicks a guy's head clean off. "Start heading to that priest. If this doesn't work, I want him down and out."

You pull a pearl out from your pouch, and think of the instructions on how to use the crystal spear. You grit your teeth, concentrating on the pearl in your hand. "Uhh, boss?" You open your eyes. Where there used to be a pearl is an absolutely massive lance of clear, glimmering crystal. Oh, jeez. You lift up your hand, the spear floating slightly above it and pull back. You're not sure how you're supposed to throw this thing. I guess you just sorta throw it at the... Oh, there it goes. Super fast.

The spear looks like it was in your hand one moment, and the next it is pinning the golden mask man to the ground through his chest, his arms dangling in the air uselessly. The fight seems to stop as every stares. A few seconds later a loud boom is heard, and everything gets dragged to where the spear is sticking out of the ground, with massive cracks forming in the ground.

Brokagh is one of the few people who managed to stay standing upright, and he whistles appreciatively. "I think it worked, boss." He says idly, before stomping a zombie's skull out.

>One astral spear is gone. You've got two left!

Capitalizing on the chaos, a Sitri buffed up Bearbreath dissassembles the giant, who hadn't solidified completely since the priest's ritual didn't even have time to finish before you nailed him to the ground. The rest of the town is simple clean up.

Congratulations!

>Burn the place and keep moving! We gotta get to the ritual site before they get on guard.
>Take your time looting the place. Some scouts might get away.

>>31667912
Eh, playerbase has remained chill throughout even as it grows.

There's just this one guy being an autist right now.

>Burn the place and keep moving! We gotta get to the ritual site before they get on guard.

>>31667939
>Burn the place and keep moving! We gotta get to the ritual site before they get on guard.
But steal that guys helmet.

>>31667939
Crap.

>Skip the Looting!

>>31667939

Typo, obviously. I meant to say pearl not spear. You've got spears as long as you've got pearls!

>>31667931
We have 2 more. Also, they regen after a month.

>>31667939
So what do we do with our two other spears?

Each pearl gives us three spears right?

>>31667939
So we have two spears left, or two pearls left that do other things?
I might have misunderstood how they work

We have to do at least some looting, its traditional, but we probably shouldn't spend too long. Especially after a display like that.

>>31667931
I disagree. We both voted and gave our opinions. Now kindly shut up please.

>>31667912
The quest grows, buddy. I think I only count two or so people acting against how we collectively typically do. It'll all sort out soon enough, don't worry.

>>31667939
>Burn the place and keep moving! We gotta get to the ritual site before they get on guard.
We've never intentionally let scouts or survivors get away, let's not start now.

We back?

Can't keep a good goblin down

Allonces dangles a fabulous golden necklace across her necklace. It has several emeralds in it. "Hey, Shax, what do you think. Does it suit me?" Aggghhh! There is no way you're going to listen to her babble about what 'compliments her eyes' and 'oh shax this would just look adorable on you' or 'sitri don't you think this belt would be just fabulous across your waist'

You put a hand around your mouth and shout, "Burn the place down! We ain't got time for goofin' off. Don't loot anything you can't grab while getting out of here!" Your minions pause in the mid-looting process and shrug before lighting torches and going through the process of leveling the town. In a few hours you're out and on the way towards the ritual site once more. It isn't far now, and you can probably get there before the news of your arrival does.

Looking up, you can see a large swirl of dark clouds, that are absolutely out of place. They hang with an oppressive atmosphere, and it makes your skin crawl. And you're heading straight towards it. "Guessin' that's the ritual site, boss," Brokagh says. He picked up some sorta cool looking torc he's wearing on his arm, with a golden serpent eating its own tail. "Something on this scale is probably bad news."

Bearbreath growls, "The animals are silent ahead. I don't like the smell of this place." Now that he mentioned it, there is an almost stale kind of odor hanging in the air as you get closer. It makes your skin crawl. You don't sleep too well that night.

Before long, you end up near a giant golden temple. You don't see any obvious entrances. The clouds seem to coalesce outside this place.

What's the plan, boss?

>Break in by force! We'll smash open an entrance and run in.
>Try to sneak in from the air! Breathbreath can carry us to the top.
>Just fight your way through the door. How many of them can there be, anyway?

>>31668338
Yeah, but it also kicked up a lot of noise. We need to move if we want to catch them before they notice something's up.

>>31668404
>Try to sneak in from the air! Breathbreath can carry us to the top.

>>31668404
>Try to sneak in from the air! Breathbreath can carry us to the top.
Except instead of sneaking let's just crash through the ceiling.

Yes! moot can't stop this party!

>>31668404
>Try to sneak in from the air! Breathbreath can carry us to the top.

>>31668404
>Try to sneak in from the air! Breathbreath can carry us to the top.
He knew this was going to happen once he showed us his bird form. Also no helmet? nuts.

>>31668404
>Break in by force! We'll smash open an entrance and run in.
Best ritual disruption method.

>>31668452
I kind of like the idea of an aerial bombardment.

>>31668404
>Break in by force! We'll smash open an entrance and run in.
Throw in surprises first, whatever we have as a flashbang in this setting.

>>31668456
Aint no party like a shax party because a Shax party burns the place to the ground.

>>31668452
We could summon a turtle or 3 on their roof

>>Break in by force! We'll smash open an entrance and run in.

Is it finally time to show there's nothing our cutter cannot cuttle? Shax is a short-ranged artillery.

>>31668404
>>Try to sneak in from the air! Breathbreath can carry us to the top.
If we hadn't used that astral pearl, I would have suggested summoning turtles from the goddamn sky.

>>31668404
Have Bearbreath fly us up. Then we'll spend a Tide point to chop the cieling/roof to pieces and crash into the place.

>>31668540
We have two more, of course we're going to use a pearl here.

Don't we have that necklace that summons a wasp?

>>31668608
didn't we take the chalice?

>>31668574
So break in by collapsing the cieling on them?

Sounds fun.

>>31668503
Yeeeeeeeeeeeah

>>31668540
Why not have Shax jump off and use her cutter to slice through the entire place and bury herself in the earth? That clingy god would like that.

>>31668637
What does it do?

>>31668637
What does that do again? Maybe we should use it now.

>>31668684
>>31668678
It dispels illusions.

>>31668678

Protection from illusions once a day if we drink from it.

>>31668608

You got the truesight chalice. Also I can't run any longer tonight. I just wasn't gonna leave the thread hangin' like that!

Anyway, thank you for playing! I really appreciate all the patience you had putting up with the wait and stuff. You guys are so chatty lately that I love it. I don't even care if you argue about stupid stuff, cause you talking at all makes me feel appreciated! And so I appreciate you guys and hope you all keep playing. I dunno when I can run again. I suspect Sunday, but who really knows with my schedule.

I'm sorry that we lost an hour and a half of run time. It was probably more like three all together from the 4chan site problems. Hopefully we can have fun next time!

I don't even got time to post exp. This is awful.

>>31668404
MAybe we can check for illusions with the chalice?

>>31668740
Goodnight, Chief. We just had bad luck today. Blame Australia.

>>31668740

>>31668740
Thanks for running through the difficulties Chief. Gonna tell us about that secret project you mentioned on Twitter?

>>31664475
>magical girl
If anyone is going to be a magical girl in this quest, it's Axe Girl. She's already into frilly dresses and talks about justice and stuff. Halfway there! Just need the magic part.

>>31668846
Or Allonces. She'd make a good magical girl.

>>31668858
Allonces is way too easily corruptible. She'd make a good evil magical girl.

Did anyone manage to loot a shirt for Fetidclaw? He's kind of creeping me out.

>>31668918
Eh, just let him enjoy his fetish.

>>31668918
It seems like we have shopping to do when we get back.

A dark magical girl outfit for Allonces and some regular clothes for Fetid. And a hat for Shax!

So after this we hit up the other two altars and head back to dragon girl.

How the hell is she going to react? She sent us here to test our resourcefulness and we come back halfway to Godhood.

She'll either be really impressed or really paranoid of us getting more powerful than her.

>>31668953
No need to force Allonces into it. She'll come up with something fabulous all by herself so people know all about what a great female mage/lancer she is.

But we need that hat.

>>31669050
I think she adores Shax too much to be paranoid thanks to that Like a Stray Cat perk.

>>31669050
Shax gets shit done
>Hey go run an errand in this country we don't like
>I'm back! And I destabilized the entire continent and stole the power of their gods because of sidequests!

>>31669050
God of some pile of shit continent. I'm not expecting dominion effects back home.

>>31669119
I don't know. I'm pretty sure any evil overlord would be a little worried if they had a minion as impulsive, easily distracted, and quick at gaining power as Shax.

It just doesn't sound like the kind of person that's always going to follow orders, you know?

>>31669195
Well yeah. We do have abilities on the skill tree explicitly for disobeying orders.

She's a cool dragon lady I"m more worried about the drow matriarch who probably will hate Allonces or something
She's Shax's to hate

>>31669195
I hear you. Guess we'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it and hope we can charm her if she seems alarmed.

>>31668740
Darn. Well hope you have time to run again soon!

>>31669195
Yeah. Shax has the kind of personality that makes it really hard to keep her under your thumb.

As a matter of fact, I'd say that Shax is essentially going along with everything because she hasn't really got used to the idea of not being a low-level mook and hasn't developed any personal ambitions yet.

>>31669385
One shudders to think of what will happen when she does. She's already had moments of dissatisfaction when raiding.

>>31669385
As long as we don't start defying our betters for no reason. They need to actually do something against Shax before I want their shit kicked in.

>>31669448
I don't expect Shax to defy her betters.

I expect her to get distracted doing her own thing and forget she had betters to follow the orders of.

>>31669499
Sidequests are love. Sidequests are life.

How long have we been on this continent, anyway?

>>31669621
It's seemed like months. You might as well rename this place Namek.
