Shaking your shoulder Jodie asks "What happened? What did you see?"

You shake your head "I don't really know, but I think you can control the whole city from here"

Randolf smiles "That's good right? I mean with that kind of protection we'll be fine"

You shrug "That depends on how well the city defences aged and what they are exactly. I'll need to read more about them to know for sure"

Suddenly you hear a loud boom and the floor shakes, looking around you ask "What was that?"

Bursting into the room out of breath Sasha says "The idiots are back, and they're pissed"

Randolf sighs "Well, it looks like you're going to need to use those defences sooner rather then later"

>Try to use the defences to see what’s up
>Go have a look
>Go get everyone else

>>32062389
>Try to use the defences to see what’s up

>>32062389
>Try to use the defences to see what's up

Looking back to the pillar you say "You guys go ahead, I'll try to scoop this out"

As they rush out of the room you place your hand on the pillar again and the view of the city suddenly fills your vision. Looking around you see a few builds on fire but the damage is minimal. Letting your consciousness fly through the air you eventually reach the front gate. On the opposite you see a large swarm of goblins rushing around while the huge creature you saw before stands in the middle of them, next to him is a pile of boulders.

Bellowing the creature yells "BRING THE SMALL WITCH CHILD"

Next to the boulders a small goblin wearing robs waves a stick around and one of them ignites. Gripping the flaming boulder the creature flings it at the city, crashing into the wall.

>Use some of the defences
>Go out to meet him
>Other

>>32063171
>>Use some of the defences

>>32063171
>Other

"Hey! Why the hell are you throwing rocks at us?! We didn't decide to throw rocks at you when we first saw you! Nor did we choose to light you on fire or make you have digestive issues, even if we have the power! Now stop acting like jerks and knock like civilized marauders, and we'll gladly talk to you."

>>32063171
>Use some of the defences

>>32063486
there's a point at which the cheeriness gets to be too much, and I have reached that point

>>32063599
Well, how about we compromise and cheerily activate the defenses?

>>32063651
I can get behind that

>>32063651
If there's a golem army activation button, is it ok if we have them sing "Whistle while we Work" as they commit goblin genocide?

>>32063171
>Use some of the defences

As he continues to yell he picks up another boulder. Pulling his arm back he chucks it, this one looks like it's going to hit the city. Raising your arm, or whatever you would call it in this state, you spread your fingers. Suddenly the boulder hits a wall of energy, rebounding the boulder flies right into his chest sending him sail backwards. Rolling the boulder off of himself he stands up and bellows in rage. Well that didn't make him happy, bending down he scoops up a handful of goblins and flings them at the barrier. Hitting it they slide harmlessly off of it. The creature's eye twitches. Picking up everything he can find he continues to throw things but they have no effect.

Sigh, he may be the smartest goblin there but that's not saying much.

>Stay of the defensive
>Go on the offensive
>Talk to him

>>32063800
>>Go on the offensive
We told them we would blast them, if they didn't leave us alone.

>>32063800
Keep the wall up until he's all worn out and tired. When he's exhausted, use the intercom and say "You done with your temper-tantrum now, or you want to continue failing to make me care?"

>>32063902
>>32063841
Have him wear himself out first, then blast him.

>>32063934
As long as we blast him, because one has to keep his word.

>>32063800
>>Talk to him
"GREAT DEATH SPELL OF MASS DESTRUCTION INITIATING" 10, 9, 8,7 ..."

>>32063800
>Go on the offensive

As the creature continues to go on a frenzy, throwing anything he can grab at the city, it's hard for you to contain your laughter. After ten more minutes of this the creature is doubling over breathing heavily.

With a small chuckle you say "Hey, you done with the temper-tantrum? or are you going to keep acting like a spoiled brat?"

Looking up the creature says "Who said that? Where are you small one"

"That doesn't matter right now, answer the question"

Grunting he stands up "Never, this city belongs to the Goblins"

Shaking your head you say "No it doesn't, this city isn't something you can just take. Didn't I tell you I would blast you if you came back like this?"

Picking up another boulder he hefts it at the city. As it slides off the barrier you say "Dude, that's not going to work, just sto-"

Before you can finish another boulder slams against the barrier "Seriously, stop it, now you're just making me ange-"

Another boulder hits "That's it. Mass destruction spell activating in 10, 9, 8..."

As you count down you look around on how to work this thing. If the barrier actives with your will maybe the weapons will too. Raising a hand you close your fist and open it again. From the wall a tall pillar rises out of it. Neat. Pulling your arm back you punch forwards, suddenly the pillar glows and fires bolt of energy at the creature. Slamming into his chest he falls backwards, standing back up his chest is burnt by the blast.

>"Told you so, now calm down"
>Keep attacking
>Other

>>32064359
>Keep attacking
Let's test the firing rate

>>32064359
>>Keep attacking

>>32064359
>Keep attacking
BURN

>>32064359
>Keep attacking

Pointing at the gate the creature roars. At this all the Goblins rush forwards, you continue to fire bolts of energy but this has little effect on the tide of green. Raising another arm a second pillar rises out of wall and that one starts opening fire as well. As the wall of goblins hits the gate they start to crawl over each other for a chance to climb the wall. Thankfully they won't be getting anywhere any time soon but leaving them there would be a problem.

Looking back to the Goblin leader you see that his efforts have shifted from throwing rocks at the city to throwing them at the defences. If you're going to deal with this you're probably going to need to get rid of him. Turning the towers focus from the small goblins to him you blast away. After a few minutes you have effectively turned the area he was standing in into a smoking crater with him kneeling in the middle.

Breathing heavily he says "Stupid magic"

>Finish him off
>Tell him to go away
>Other

>>32064812
>Finish him

>>32064812
>Tell him to go away

>>32064812

>>32064896
>>32064957
guys, we already warned him last time he invaded that we'd kill him if he tried again. I'm not gonna samefag here, but do we really want to go back on our threats in front of this guy? He ain't gonna stop.

>>32064812
>>Finish him off

>>32064812
>Other
SWEAR TO ME

>>32064812
Okay it looks like we have a split between kill him and spare him so pick 1 for kill, pick 2 for sparing.

Looks like sparing him won out, writing

>>32065356
Why would you count the samefagging?

>>32065175
I just realized i messed up the numbers

>>32065127
>Sparing

As their leader kneels defeated all the Goblins stop and stare.

Looking down at him you say "You finished?"

Nodding grimly the Goblin leader says "Yes, I am defeated. You may finish me now."

After a few tense seconds you say "Nope"

Looking up confused he asks "What?"

"You heard me, I'm not going to kill you"

Looking even more confused he says "Why? I am your enemy, why would you spare me?"

"Because I'm nice, now go away and next time don't be a dick."

Standing up the Goblin leader beings to walk away with the hoard of Goblins following close behind. Suddenly stopping he turns around and says "You're strange little one, thank you"

As they disappear from view you sigh, pulling your hand away from the pillar your mind returns to the small room.

>Go find the others
>Try to relax for a little bit
>Explore the city

>>32065712
Put your hand back on it and see if you can repair stuff or move stuff around. Or find a map.

>>32065712
>Experiment with the defense system

>>32065712
>Experiment with the defense system
Might as well see what other tricks we got.

>>32065712
>Go find the others

>>32065712
>>Try to relax for a little bit

>>32065712

Stretching your arms you decide that you should probably learn more about the defence system and what's a better way to learn than experiencing things for yourself?

Putting your hand back on the pillar your conciousness flies out into the world again. Looking around you see that the Goblins are long gone but the damage they left is still there. Around the city you see a few buildings on fire and boulders sitting in the streets. Sigh, this is going to be such a pain to clean up but right now you're focusing on the defences.

Raising an arm you make the front two pillars rise out of the wall, hmmm how many more of these things are there? After a few minutes of effort you eventually get all the pillars working. It seems that each gate has two defence towers by it and the rest are lining the walls, making a ring around the city.

Looking around for anything else you can use you feel something strange. Focusing on it you will it to activate, suddenly a building in the military district opens and five golems walk out. Grinning at your find an idea crosses your mind, sending orders to the golems they begin to clean the mess the goblins left.

As they're working on that you notice your group walking towards the palace.

>Talk to them
>Test the defences some more
>Other

>>32066453
>Talk to them

>>32066453
>>Test the defences some more
Can see if the golems can perform try "Fix entrance golem"?

>>32066453
>Talk to them
>Hey nerds

>>32066453
>Talk to them
Hey, guys, guess who won a battle against the goblins?

Here's a hint: it's me!

>>32066453
>Talk to them

Flying down to the group you can hear them talking among themselves.

Walking in front Randolf says "That girl has saved our asses so many times so far" laughing a little he adds "makes an old adventurer feel useless"

Nodding Sasha says "I'm glad she's on our team but I think she's being too soft"

Hey!

Tam shakes her head "Nah uh, Milly is super cool and nice. Did you see how she took care of those guys? She was all like zap and the big guy was al like ugggh"

Aww thanks Tam

Sighing Sasha says "I just mean she should have finished that thing when she had the chance, now they might come back"

Well you've been silent for long enough, you might as well mess with them.

Sneaking up to Sasha you whisper "Boo" into her ear. You could have sworn she jump at lease five feet.

Spinning around she yells "Who's there?"

Giggling a bit you say "Who's too soft now?"

Blinking in surprise Randolf asks "Sweetie, is that you?"

Nodding you say "Yep, you can't see me right now but I'm here"

Smiling Randolf says "Well, that's a good thing because we need to talk about something"

"What is it?" you ask

"We've been thinking and we should probably deal with our neighbours before anything else happens, a couple of ideas have come up"

Pointing to Sasha he says "She wants to go fight them while I think diplomacy is probably our best option" nodding towards Weston he adds "Also, some of the more cowardly of the group think we should just sit here"

Looking quite offended Weston says "Hey! It's a good idea when we this giant magic city to protect us"

>Diplomacy
>Attack them
>Stay here

>>32067229
>Attack them

>>32067229
>Attack
we are the evil
not as evil as Weston though
I mean seriously, turtling? He is the worst kind of person.

>>32067229
>>Diplomacy
Diplomacy through superior firepower.
>>Attack them.
Are we founding our own citystate?

>>32067229
>>Diplomacy

>>32067229
>Diplomacy

>>32067229
>Attack them

Thinking for a second you say "We should probably conduct diplomacy with superior firepower"

Grinning Sasha says "I knew there was a reason I liked you"

Sighing Randolf says "Yeah, I guess this is the fastest way to deal with them"

"Okay guys, I'll meet you at the front gate in ten minutes"

Pulling your hand away from the pillar your mind returns to the small room. Walking out into the hall you yell "Balthasar! Come here"

He pokes his head into the hall way "Yo?"

Walking to him you say "We're going to go talk to our neighbours, grab your stuff and come on"

Smiling he says "I think I like where this is going"

After grabbing all your supplies you eventually reach the gate where the rest of the group is standing there.

Turning to you Randolf says "So, where are we off to first?"

>Goblins
>Driders

>>32067917
driders
can we talk before we fight them tho

>>32067917
Driders
Can we not talk to them before we fight? I kinda like the idea of slaughtering them mercilessly without provocation.

>>32067917
>>Driders
Just tell them,
"Come at me bro!" then flee back to our fortified structure.
Who is gonna hold down the fort?

>>32067917
>Goblins
They are already intimidated. Maybe we can get them to help us wipe out the Driders?

>>32067917
>Driders

Thinking for a second you say 'We should deal with the Driders first since the Goblins won't launch an attack any time soon"

Deniece shifts uncomfortably "I know that they are threatening you right now but they're not bad people. Could you go easy on them?"

Putting a hand on her shoulder Weston says "Don't worry, with me here no one's going to died"

Blushing slightly she says "thank you"

As the group sets out towards the forest you walk beside Weston "You only said that to sound cool didn't you?"

Waving his hand he says "No way but if I did, did it work?"

Rolling your eyes you sigh. As you draw close Randolf asks "Hey Sweetie, who did we leave behind to hold down the fort?"

Grinning you say "I found some golems so it should be safe to leave the city alone"

Soon you reach the forest. Turning to the group Randolf says "The objective here is to find this Night Mother person and stop any plans she has, lets get going"

Entering to forest it isn't long before you come across two Driders. Pointing a dagger at them you announce "Bring us to your leader or be prepared to die!"

The two Driders look at each other and shrug "Come along, she has been expecting you"

As they walk away you look back to your group "I didn't expect that to work, should we follow them?"

Scratching his head Randolf says "I guess so. Deniece, if they're leading us anywhere weird tell us"

Following the two Driders through the forest you can feel lots of eyes on you and you can even see a few Driders giving you smug looks. Eventually you make it to a clearing with a large tree in the middle that looks like it's been converted into a house. Sitting on a throne in front of it is the Night Mother.

Looking down at you she smiles "Who do we have here?"

>Introduce yourself
>Write in

>>32068635
>Introduce yourself

>>32068635
>Introduce yourself

>>32068635
>Introduce yourself

Clearing your throat you announce "I am the mighty adventurer Mildred and these are my faithful companions!"

Looking at you strangely Randolf whispers "What are you doing?"

Shushing him you whisper back "I'm trying to be intimidating"

Chuckling the Night Mother says "Mighty adventurer hmmmm? For one so small that is an impressive title but doubt you would be able to stand against my might"

Grinning you say "You want to bet?"

Pausing for a bit she laughs "Sure why not, If you can face me and survive I'll become your servant" leaning in she gives you a smug look "but will never happen"

>It's on
>I don't need to prove anything to you
>Other

>>32069342
>>It's on
OVERWHELMING POWER! Use all the spells, all of them.

>>32069342
>It's on
"Fool! You're exactly where i want you; In my Realm of Magic!"

Time for spellcraft!

>>32069342
>I-I guess it's on
>I hope the night mother is gentle

>>32069342
>It's on

That smug look she's giving you really pisses you off. Smiling you say "Well it's looks like I just gained a servant. You're on"

One the guards by the Night Mother turns to her with a worried expression "Mistress, are you sure about this? We can just force them to-"

Cutting her off the Night Mother says "I'm not doing anything rash, I'm just collecting a new batch of slaves"

Grinning at you she adds "I hope you enjoy working for me personally. You have ten minutes to prepare yourself"

Walking to one side of the clearing with your group they begin to all talk at once.

Scratching her chin Sasha says "Okay kid, she's big opponent so you should go for the leg first"

Budding in Randolf says "Those legs look like they're armour. She should just stay back and focus on dodging, when the times right you should strike"

Snorting Sasha says "Yeah, that's a great way to lose, the winner is the one to strike first"

As they continue to argue you rub your head, finally you shout "GUYS SHUT UP"

When they're quiet you turn to Deniece and ask "Do you know any thing that could be useful?"

Thinking for a second she says "The Night Mother took over not long ago when the old one past away so she's still young. Ummm I don't really know how she fights but I do know that since she challenged you you can pick a champion to fight on your behalf"

Hmmm that's interesting.

>>Fight her yourself
>Pick a new weapon to use
>Stick with your daggers

>>Chose someone to fight for you (Who?)

>>32070134
>fight her yourself with the daggers

>>32070134
>>>Chose someone to fight for you (Demon Bro)
Meet your wife. I ship it.

>>32070134
>>Stick with your daggers

(goddamn tree fell on my house...)

>>32070588
Why does some of the weirdest shit happen here?

>>32070134
>>Fight her yourself with daggers

Smiling Randolf says "Sweetie if you want I can take care of this for you"

Shaking your head you say "No, I got this but if anything goes wrong just run"

Nodding he says "Okay, but you stay safe and by the way..." leaning in he adds "don't listen to Sasha, you're a fast fighter so just try to dodge. Also here, you might need this" taking of his helmet he puts it on you

From across the clearing you hear the Night Mother shout "Are you done yet?"

Patting you on the shoulder Randolf says "You should get out there, good luck"

As you walk to the centre of the clearing you see the Night Mother and it looks like see went all out. She's wearing plate armour that covers almost all human half but most of her spider half is uncovered, on her left arm is a small round shield and she's carrying sword in the other.

Looking down at you she smiles "See, this is the difference between you and me. Give up now"

Pulling out your daggers you say "Shut up and fight already"

>Attack meele (Roll d100, best of three)
>Attack Magic (Roll d100, best of three)
>Defend (Roll d100, best of three)

>>32070872
>Majyck

Rolled 44, 40, 77 = 161

>>32070872
>>Defend (Roll d100, best of three)
If no one else is rolling for Def, here is your three rolls, else its the leftmost one.

Rolled 36

>>32070872
I have been reminded that I forgot to roll

>>32070872
(Thread's slowing down so we'll finish this fight and pick it up on another time)

>Defend (77)

As you circle each other the night Mother slowly edges towards you. Suddenly she rushes forwards and brings her sword down, stepping out of the way she buries it into the ground. Pulling it out she continues swing at you but you manage to dodge each of her blows.

Raising her two front legs she tries to bring them down on you but simply roll to the side.

In the back you hear Sasha yell "What are you doing! Stop dodging and hit her!"

Swinging again the Night Mother completely misses and you back off a little. Breathing heavily she hisses "Stop moving so much and let me hit you"

As she swings again you step side out of the way and swipe at her, catching a small space on her arm. As a small trickle of blood runs down her arm she grunts.

>Attack meele (Roll d100, best of three)
>Attack Magic (Roll d100, best of three)
>Defend (Roll d100, best of three)

Rolled 2

>>32071433

Rolled 25, 99 = 124

>>32071433
2 more rolls for magic if no one else is here

>>32071433
>Attack magic (99)

Swinging at you a couple of times you manage to dodge each of the attacks, finally the Night Mother gives up. Breathing heavily she say "If I can't hit you with my sword than I'll just use magic"

Engulfing her sword in fire she smiles at you "Now you won't get away from me"

Swinging at you the fire from the sword flies out and you barely manage to avoid it. Grinning at you she says "You're quick but that won't help you anymore"

Swinging at you you raise your hand on instinct, suddenly the sword flies from her hand. Screaming in frustration the Night Mother continues to attack with her legs "WHY. WON'T. YOU. DIE"

Sending a pressure wave from your hands you launch her backwards "Because I'm stronger than you, that's why"

Yelling she rushes forwards but you send a lightning bolt which hit her right in the chest. Falling back in pain she tries to stand again but you just blast he again.

Trying again she shakily gets to her feet but as she takes a step forwards she falls down again. You're about you finish up when you hear she shout "That's enough!"

Rushing out of the crowd one of the Drider guards stands between you and the Night Mother "She's done, you have won. Now leave"

Coughing a little the Night Mother says "I'm not done yet"

Hurrying over to her the guard says "My lady please, you can't fight anymore"

With a look of rage on her face she says "Fine. I summit"

>>32072267
