“Kae Nooooo!” you scream, bursting out of the surf and barrelling through the waist-high water towards her even as some sort of shark-squid leaps from the water and swallows her whole. You grab its tail as it tries to dive and heave it out of the water, held in three arms you beat it with your hammer until it coughs up a choking and spluttering Kae, who immediately goes under the water, before resurfacing and grabbing a lamppost.

“What’s going on?” she asks, looking around “Oh no....”

“Kae you’re ok-gnrh!” you snarl as a thick shadow limb punches through your back and emerges from your chest. The tip forming into a jagged spiny hook.

[HP 91/130]

“Well done child” hisses the Emissary, standing atop the corpse of a vast whale, covered in blood and viscera, from the hole in the beasts side he was swallowed, then made his own exit. Dozens of shadow limbs still dance around him. “You have done what none have succeeded at in almost a century, you have surprised me, but now you die.”

“Shee we need to leave!” yells Kae “If we stay here, we die, I can get us out, but we can’t beat that thing. And Quinn is...Quinn is gone. There’s nothing left for us here.”

-No!- Snarls the voice of Baalzamon –Stay and kill this thief and...I will give you the tool to kill him yesssss- His voice changes, from anger to ingratiating –Agree to kill him and I will give you a power greater than any you have ever known, I’ll even throw in preserving the vampire boy too-

What do you do?
>Keep fighting the Emissary your own way (this pleases Jagganatha greatly)
>Leave with Kae
>Accept Baalzamons deal
>Other (what?)

>>37972482
>Accept Baalzamons deal

Do it. We need him dead.

>>37972482
>Leave with Kae
As if that deal won't come with a steep price.

>>37972482
>Accept Baalzamons deal
Get Kae out too and we have a deal

>>37972482
>Keep fighting the Emissary your own way (this pleases Jagganatha greatly)
Hahaha
We literally mindcrushed Quinn.

>>37972482
>>Keep fighting the Emissary your own way (this pleases Jagganatha greatly)
I'd rather not be Bal's champion.

>>37972482
>Accept Baalzamons deal.

>>37972482
>Accept Baalzamons deal
Oh dear, we have killed Quinn.

>>37972482
>Accept Baalzamons deal
>But I will not be your champion
We sort of need Quinns mind intact right now, otherwise the whole thing was for nothing.

>ib4 we fuck up the ensuing DC30 shaping roll

>>37972591
I agree (already posted) and we are already heavily in bed with the king and ichor, I think its good to level the field and get in better favour with the others

>>37972482
>Accept Baalzamons deal

>>37972583

I feel bad for that, however we need this guy dead. I dont want him coming after other friends.

He will likely chase us.

>>37972610
>I think its good to level the field and get in better favour with the others
Then we could just as well take Jagganthas Favor.
Baalzi offering to put Quinns mind back together after we killed him is what makes the deal.

>Come into the quest earlier today
>Want to seek favour with Baalz
>Know it ain't happenin', but vote for it anyway
>Get outvoted everyone else to 1 I think one other guy mighta voted for it too, I wasn't paying much attention
>This happens
I'm smiling ear to ear right now.

>>37972609
Probably. I'd laugh if we get a crit success.

>>37972627
As long as it doesn't come at the cost of Kaelyn...

>>37972628
This is completly different from seeking favor with Baalzamon though. So I'm not sure why.

Its not like we aren't constantly getting Favor with him recently.

>>37972645
I fully expect it to.

>>37972645
They shouldn't attack Kaelyn at all, not sure why they did it at all. Maybe just Pally being cinematic.

>>37972662
this makes me sad

I wonder if we crit pass a super high DC shape roll, would it up our aspects?

>>37972662
I don't see how. He definitly won't get the opportunity to attack Kaelyn while we deal with him.
So, there isn't really anything threatening her right now.

>>37972555
I feel like it would be more explicit if this was an Avatar deal. Just don't break the deal, Baalzamon can do some nasty things to people that break deals with him.

Like random critfails at inconvenient times levels of nasty.

>>37972628
That's because you wanted to ask the God of *Betrayal* if we could do something for him.

Take the deal it it, writing

>>37972667

I would back this.

Wish we didn't have that crit fail. It broke Quinns mind.

Dream does show his shitty home life.

Ib4 Quinn now fears the ocean if he survives.

>>37972702
>I feel like it would be more explicit if this was an Avatar deal.
The only reason why I'm even agreeing to this is because we got a clear deal here, he gives us the power to fuck this guy up, and we do.
Thats it.
The worst I expect is we get full levels of Form of Baalzamon and the mutations that come with it.

>>37972710
>Wish we didn't have that crit fail. It broke Quinns mind.
The crit fail wasn't that, actually. The crit fail was us getting impaled, since Pally said Ocean only comes if the other two things don't work.

The Independent will roll was ocean, and ocean crushed Quinns mind because we flooded his mind with a alien ocean.
That sort of thing is unhealthy.

>>37972718

I think it is something like causing thia guys stolen gifts to betray him.

>>37972745
If this is turning us into a vampire, I'm gonna be very cross with him.

>>37972762
How much you want to bet this guy was a previous avatar of Baalzi who noped out of the contest, sometime long ago?

>>37972782
I'm thinking he somehow managed to steal a piece of Baalzamon's Aspect of Shadows, actually.

>>37972782
Possible, I guess.
But I think he just has a hateboner for him because he is so good with this Shadows power.

>>37972798
Por que no los dos?
being he avatar would make it easier. Especially with betrayal aspect.

>>37972809
Could be that too.

>>37972798

He probably captured a champion or avatar and magically or somehow drained his powers into his.

That is what it sounds like. God of secrets does not like you taking his stuff.

>>37972818
>Por que no los dos?
Well, I assume if he was his Avatar, it would be "stealing" the power when he nopes out.

>>37972782
I think this is some dude who stole powers from one of Baalz's champions.

Remember how Charun said something about how Reaper stole/sealed (can't remember which, but I bet stealing is possible) his power?

And Baalz did just call this dude a thief.

>>37972835
True but this guy is a vampire, not a fae. Baalzy has vampriric powers and a betrayal domain. Betraying him and taking his shit could be called stealing. Ah well we'll likely find out soon.

>>37972762
That reminds me, since one of Baalzamon's powers turns people into...primordial vampires, I guess, wouldn't it be possible that he's the actual origin of vampires and not a mage spell?

The first to receive that Gift were probably mages who worshiped him, which is why it's been mistaken for a spell.

So, we should start hammering him with Empowered Maximised Life Drains.
His damage is pretty puny sofar.

>>37972868
>wouldn't it be possible that he's the actual origin of vampires
Someone already speculated that in the other thread, yeah.
It seems pretty likely to me too.

Especially since vampires have a "Shadows" power.That apparently even Lirael might be able to access.

>>37972884
>Someone already speculated that in the other thread, yeah.
I must've missed that.

What would happen if Kae died here? Could we even get back?

>>37972868
Distinctly possible.

>>37972871
Vampiric powers on Someone/thing related to Baalzi. Especially when his will is somehow higher than ours, or at least better used.

>>37972892
Not so important, the point was its a pretty likely notion.
I suspect vampires were among the things that rose up to overthrow the Old Gods to begin with. And these guys Clan were probably the "first" among them.

>>37972914
>Vampiric powers
Its not a vampiric power, its a psychic power that just happenns to do something similar.
We have no indication his Willpower is higher then ours, and even if it is, Life Drain doesn't care about his Willpower.

Just caught up. Everything is awful. What did we double 1?

>>37973004
Either attacking the dude or controlling the ocean. Not sure what.

>>37973004
The roll to make it so our Ocean didn't try to nom Quinn and Kae.

>>37973004
Either defending against his attack or summoning the Ocean.
Although I doubt the second one, since its likely that was the independent roll later.

>>37973004
We failed to counter seduce Kae's attempt at waifuing Lirael.

C'mon Pally, I'm dieing of hype and antecipation here! I need to know what will happen.

“I accept” you whisper. –Done!- says Baalzamon in your mind

“Saying your prayers are you?” sneers the Emissary “For all the good it will do you, what the f-”

You explode in a mass of shadows growing larger still until you are the size of a house. You do not have a defined shape, you are merely a cloud of night and darkness controlled by will.

Hundreds of shadowy limbs extend towards the Emissary, batting away those he extends to protect himself and dragging him shrieking into your mass. Inside your form you feel him fighting, using all sorts of interesting shadow powers you might one day master: shadow limbs, teleportation, powers that copy another’s form or their powers and other more esoteric things. All are useless against you. You rip him apart, shredding his flesh down to the tiniest scraps and wringing them out.

[Ruler of Shadows Form Gained.

Ruler of Shadows
By spending 30 psychic energy points you activate this form. It lasts until you end it, it is incompatible with non-Baalzamon Gifts – you cannot use Gifts of the others of the Five in this form.
In this form you are an amorphous shadow blob 30ft wide and tall. You can manifest upto 100 shadow limbs upto 60ft in length. Your strength is 60 and the Agility of your limbs 30, but the Agility of your main body 1. Your body can only move at a slow walking pace.
In this form you gain damage reduction against all non-magical attacks equal to five times your Willpower modifier and bonus hit points equal to twenty times your Willpower modifier. This form is immune to all shadow-themed powers save those of Baalzamon, his Avatar or a Reunited with the Impossibility Aspect at 6 or higher. No shadow-based power can harm you, and you can ignore or suppress and any shadow-based powers that touch your form.]

Then you look around you at the ruined mess that is Quinns mind. You can also see the tiny form of Kae, staring at you in horror and shaking her head.

-You said you’d fix him- you rage against the large darkness you are currently a tiny part of.

-And I shall- promises the Eternal Liar –But how do you want him fixed?-

-What do you mean?- You ask

-There’s not enough to bring him back the way he was- says Baalzamon –And besides, what a nasty cruel person eh? Why not make him better?-

He explains –I can bring back Quinn but I’ll need to mix in a bit of something else, I could make him kinder, remorseful for what he’s done, that’s good yes? Or I could make him timid and afraid of hurting others like your friend Ash, or I could make him devoted to you, make him love you, as your friend Rainya is becoming yes?-

-Why not just the way he was?- You say –No tampering-

-Not enough there- Explains Baalzamon –I could fill in the gaps with your Will of course, he’ll have free will, and be almost as good as new...until you decide otherwise, hmm yesss how about that, a spy in the ranks of the vampires?-

-Someone will notice- you say –the vampires have their own powers-

-And none can match my work- counters Baalzamon –Aha *trust me* none will detect any difference in his mind, it will be as if he decided to be different, the changes I make will be undetectable-

How do you respond?

>Make Quinn regret his actions, and want to be better

>>37973140
She's currently failing a SAN check.

>>37973110
>Make Quinn regret his actions, and want to be better
Either that or doing it ourselves, but I see no particular point in risking that, when we can get something fairly decent out of this.

>>37973140
Kae is fine, just scared shitless.

>>37973110
>>Fill Quinn with my Will, make him my slave

>>37973110

Right now she's looking at our shadow monster form in terror.

She's bobbing in the water like a drowned rat gawking at how we just turned into a giant shadow abomination and shredded this dude. Other than that, she's doing great unless you think being covered in shark-barf is a major problem.

>>37973110

Could we get a Achievement here Pally?
>[Forced a fae to roll for SAN]

Part of it was that double 1 failure.

He is likely correct in that quinn was fucked, his mind a mess.

Its been a really long time since we had shitflinging about samefagging.

>>37973089
>it is incompatible with non-Baalzamon Gifts – you cannot use Gifts of the others of the Five in this form.
This sounds like a job for Impossibility Aspect!

>>37973322
I just don't think we're going to get all this power without a personal cost.

>>37973302
There is bo reason to not trust Baalzamon, it's his followers you need to watch out for.

>>37973358
I totally want to pair that up with Ichors, for maximum eldritch tentacle monster.

>>37973361
I suppose 'something' will come from this.
First we need to unfuck Kaes mind, then we see what else this means for us.
I would in any case be very cautious about using that power.

Oh. Right. I'm dumb. I forgot that was a Mirror thing and not a metapsionics thing for a second.

>>37973392
He's the kind of thing you can work with to some neat tricks. But never keep close unless you enjoy daggers scratching your back.

Let's just hope we can fish Kae out of the water and at least calm her down. She probably thinks we're some lovecraftian elder god now.

>>37973456
>She probably thinks we're some lovecraftian elder god now.
To be fair, we did warn her we are going to become a lovecraftian elder god.

I just think she didn't take us serious then.

>>37973446
We really oughta commune with the other 3 gods still talking to us to make sure.

>>37973456
To be fair we are on the path to it without Baalzi's shadow form.

>>37973456
>She probably thinks we're some lovecraftian elder god now.
She's pretty much correct, I think this is more that she's realized we weren't joking or exaggerating.

>>37973446
>Implying we aren't his Avatar now
would that really be so bad?

If we're top Baalzi shitter, we don't have to worry about getting fucked with by the top Baalzi shitter. Also we don't have to worry as much about him fucking us himself because he actually wants us to win I think.

>>37973392
Is he actually the 'god of betrayal' or is it is something we or someone ingame have dubbed him?

>>37973481
I actually agree with that. We should ask Mom or Jaggantha just to make sure.
At least them we can trust to be honest with us.

>>37973497
>Baalzamon, The Heart of Darkness: The lord of shadows, secrets and betrayal.
Fifteenth line on the character sheet.

>>37973497
That's what he actually is. I know I'm going to hate this next update...

>>37973497
Betrayal is part of his Domain, yes.
That doesn't mean he needs to betray everyone all the time of course.

>>37973497
I think he's more along the lines of "Betray the shit out of people if it helps you or the people you care about more", but people seem to have interpreted this as "he will fuck you over just because he can because lolrandumb evulllll".

-Make him regret his actions- you say –make him want to be better- The Darkness just laughs.

You shrink back down to your normal size as the dreamscape around you repairs itself and the ocean is sucked into your form as you shrink.

Once you’re in your normal form you look at Kae and ask “Are you ok?”

Kae flinches away from you “I’m fine” she whispers “We need to go now.”

With your powers you can feel someone shaking your body, trying to wake you up, you also feel soaking wet. You say to Kae “Ok, I guess now it’s time t-”

You wake up in your bed, it’s soaking wet and you can smell salt, is this, seawater?

Ash is shaking you “Shee, wake up!” As you open your eyes you can see his relieved smile “Shee, you’re ok” Ash says with a grin, then adds as an afterthought “Kae?”

“She’s ok” you say “I think, anyway, what the...?”

It’s not just your bed, the entire room looks like it was flooded with seawater, you peek into the corridor, wearing just a soaking t-shirt that covers you to mid-thigh. The entire place looks like it got soaked “Uh oh....”

All the lights are out and you can hear the thumps of people stumbling around in the dark.

You can see perfectly in the darkness, but others...

>>37973527
>I had a wet dream.

>>37973524
No, I don't think thats it. If we would think that we'd never take any of his gifts.
But it still means he is not a very trustworthy fellow.

>>37973527
I bet Baalzamon took the "wanting to be better" as "wanting to be a better vampire and not get kicked around anymore" and Quinn becomes a even bigger asshole.

I 'm betting he fucked with one of our friends in order to bring Quinn back changed.

rest had 5 at start of thread.


so king and ichor at 9

Baalzi at 6-7
Jaggie and Mirror at 5

>>37973648
We still 'worship' them equally. We just aren't favored by all of them equally.
That a difference.
I guess technically we are broken with Mirror right now.

>>37973707
Well don't it keep giving crap power choices for the most part?

>>37973651
He has currently no reason to fuck with us like that, because he wants us to like him.

>>37973720
Mirror had some pretty decent ones after the 'slight' controvosy over the first batch.
But yeah, luckily he was the one we needed the least since King gives Willpower too.

>>37973720
Mirror had good powers, just got in as nit for us for offing his avatar. He's going to be sending others after us besides the anti-magic cult, because he's butt hurt. Adaptation, willpower, and spell absorb were his.

>>37973720
A lot of his powers are really good.

>>37973756
>Adaptation
Adaptive Mutation, you mean. Adaptation is Psychometabolism.

>>37973720
Some are good, and fit our style well.
But not significantly better than the others, so getting a choice of all of the other four for his, is a pretty sweet deal all in all.

>>37973775
Yeah that.


>>37973786
Eh having him on our side for magic(Impossibility) boosts and anti-anti-magic would be nice.

You try to find any clothes you have that are not soaking but instead have to settle for the least damp you can find. Ash throws on wet pants and t-shirt and follows you.

First you need some light, you bring a light rod out of your dimensional arsenal and check on your friends, asking Ash to check on Dev as you head for Rainya and Lirael.

“What happened?” says Rainya, stumbling around in pitch black wearing a soaking night dress that clings to her in all the right places. You spare the question enough attention to say “Ah, slight power malfunction, all done now.” Lirael gives you an accusing look and asks “On purpose?”

With your friends safe you head down to the top floor of the restaurant, there’s quite a lot of water gone through here as well, but fortunately none went down to the lowest floor, it seems the thick carpets and wooden panels soaked it all up.

Ms. Carter meets you on the stairs “Really Ms Hyul” she says in a fussy voice “If you are going to lose control of your...abilities in the height of passion with your lover as your business manager I must advise you to rent a holiday home for your sexcapades!”

“That’s not, I didn’t” you protest.

Ms Carter carries on “Fortunately we had just got rid of the rest of the guests when the power blew out, and now I find water everywhere on the floor, in the walls, do you know how much this will take to fix? And how long? The restaurant is ruined!” You detect a slight hint of hysteria in her voice.

How do you respond?
>I’m sorry, I guess the restaurant is ruined
>I’ll find the money (you have a big stash of stuff...)
>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)
>Other (what?)

Now is the time for *wet dream* write-in if you want

>>37973800
I think our best bet for anti-anti-magic would be going buddy with Jaggantha who gives no shit about that stuff.

>>37973816
>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)

Nah, it would have been funny to Ash or Rainya.

>>37973816

>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)

And when this fails

>I’ll find the money (you have a big stash of stuff...)

>>37973816
>>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)
Guys take a walk, I'll fix this.

>>37973816
>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)

>>37973816
>Water isn't wet, silly billy! (Impossibility)

>>37973816
>I’ll find the money (you have a big stash of stuff...)

>>37973816
>I had a wet dream
and then
>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)

>>37973816
>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)

Yesssssss

>>37973816
>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)
FUCK ALL THIS SHIT
If it still isn't dry
>I’ll find the money (you have a big stash of stuff...)

>>37973816
>Water isn't wet, silly billy! (Impossibility)
Sure. Let's give it a try.

>>37973816
>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)

I'm completly expecting the Corruption choice to remove all alcohol, just saying.

>>37973816
>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)

IT IS ALWAYS TIME FOR WET DREAM WRITE INS

>>37973891
Easier to replace booze then it is repair all the water damage at the least!

>>37973879
I like the way you think.

>>37973879
>>37973859
What the fuck would that even do?

>>37973921
Ice or vapor?

Alternatively, water floating in the middle of the air, touching nothing. It can't be wet if nothing touches it to feel wet. Right?

>>37973921
Break Physics

>>37973816
>This place is mine and if *I* says its dry, then it will damn well better be dry! (Corruption)

>>37973921
??? Something neat, probably.

>>37973921
It would make the water not be wet. What's so hard to understand about that?

I just don't like the tail end of the write-in, who the fuck says 'silly billy'?

>>37973921
Fluids that aren't wet will not soak into things. Alternatively, the water might suddenly start behaving like our restaurant is super-hydrophobic, which would cause it all to flow out of the building even if it has to go uphill to get out.

It'd be pretty sweet.

>>37973816
Also, whatever the result, make sure to say it as a true believer of king of hell.

>>37973816
What wet dream joke do we want?
>Ms. Carter honey, this isn't what boys mean when they say wet dream.

>>37973816
>You spare the question enough attention to say “Ah, slight power malfunction, all done now.” Lirael gives you an accusing look and asks “On purpose?”
Maybe I'm just too tired, but I don't get what Lirael's trying to say here.

>>37974022
I have to admit, that sounds swell

>>37974043
That line is already pretty King of Hell.
We literally command reality to accomodate us.
It doesn't really get much more King than that.

>>37974058
I guess something something we fucked Ash.
I dunno, she is eleven and just woke up. I don't think she thought that through much.

>>37974058
She's accusing Shee of soaking Rainya so that she could gawk at her through the wet tshirt.

Please roll willpower 1d20+13

Rolled 16 + 13 (1d20 + 13)

>>37974093
She'd be delighted by that though, and she refers to the power malfunction.

>>37974101
Come on dice gods, do something cool for us today

Rolled 11 + 13 (1d20 + 13)

>>37974101

Rolled 2 + 13 (1d20 + 13)

>>37974101

>>37974113
No, Lirael never calls it a malfunction. She calls it a malfunction and then Lirael questioningly implies that it actually wasn't.

>>37974093
>she flooded a entire building with water from a alien ocean in her mind, just so she could see her girlfirned ina wet t-shirt
Truly its good to be the Master of Reality.

>>37974113
>>37974144
>She calls
Shee* calls

>>37974144
Yes, but she was referring to our saying power malfunction, not to the seawater being everywhere.

>>37974171
The seawater being everywhere WAS the malfunction. Those are not two separate things in her mind.

“It’s not wet” you insist “It’s perfectly dry, in fact I order it to be dry.”

As Ms Carter gives you a worried look you can feel the world around you conforming to your wishes, here in your domain the effect is stronger than normal. All around you the wet stains recede and fade, until it’s as if they had not been soaked at all, you’ve sent the water...someplace else.

“See” you say, adding “And I wasn’t, Ash and I weren’t...it was just a wet dream!”

Ms Carters expression changes to one of amusement as you blush, your pale cheeks heating up “Then if the boy wasn’t doing his duty” she says “Perhaps someone else ought to on a regular schedule, lest we suffer further deluges, or would you rather take the matter *in hand*?” and with that she turns and leaves as your blush only gets stronger. Was she really telling you to...

Anyway, something doesn’t feel quite right, you head back up stairs where your friends *sans Lirael* are peeking out of doorways, you find a stairway leading up that....wasn’t there before, where could it lead?

>Go up alone
>Take people with you, (Who?)

Remember, Ash is watching

Double one, the gift that keeps giving to Pally.

>>37974214
>Tell everyone to go into a room and go to bed

>>37974214

>>37974214

Fuck it, bring em all. It's our domain.

>>37974214
Find Lirael.

Then check the room at the top of the stairs.

>>37974214
>Go up alone
Monsters aren't real right?

>>37974254
>Take Rainya

>>37974214
>Tell everyone to go into a room and go to bed
>Pick up Lirael and Rainya and go up
If its safe for us, its safe for them, and if it isn't safe for us, we can use their help

>>37974214
I get the feeling we're supposed to enter this strange area on our own.

Its likely something to do with our patrons.. do we want to expose our friends to that sort of thing yet? Can we even?

or we could just close the door leading up and never, ever, open it

>>37974276
Did you mislink anon?

>>37974317
Yeah. It'd never get the vote though.

>>37974214
>Guys get some rest, I need to calm down.

We have to talk to Ash about some stuff in the morning. Dont want him to blab shit.

>>37974214
>Tell everyone to go into a room

Because its impossible, there is no door.

Unless you put one there, of course.

Changing this to
>Tell everyone to go into a room and go to bed

>>37974375
Basically no one voted for the wet dream thing now because its lame in that situation, not sure why Pally needed to put it there.
It would have been funny with Ashley and Rainya, but here it just emberassed us for no reason after areally impressive display.

Good to know Ash didn't notice what Lirael is.

>>37974410
While not as good as it woulda been earlier, it was mildly funny and it seemed to get a foot in the door with Ms. Carter being slightly less robotic/cold towards us. So I'm happy with it.

alone it is

>>37974432
They were never in the same room.

>>37974432
Ash didn't see Lirael.
And even if he did, he can't pierce her illusion.

>>37974446
Eh, I think actually flaunting that King of Hell vibe with commanding reality would have gotten us further with her.

“Just go back to bed” you tell everyone “This will only take a moment.”

You head up the stairs alone and through the doorway at the top, coming out into a tiny rocky outcropping around which a vast ocean lies, as far as the eye can see. As you go up there a storm is blowing, roughing the surface of the sea in a foaming frenzy. What the hell? Or rather, what in the Depths...

Still this place feels familiar, like it belongs to you. It’s an endless ocean because....that’s what is in your dreams, but you know if you want it to be something else, it can be...

[This place is a part real, part imaginary. It is akin to a dream realm, but not one that allows access to your mind. You can reshape reality here, as well as others you designate, however it is slower to change than dreams. Replacing the ocean with something else entirely would take a day or more. Smaller changes are quicker. Things removed from here will fade after a day or so. Powers will be made available to use this pocket-realm you have. Currently its only access is the door you just came through.]

Cool, our own divine domain.
Shee did it faster than Sireyi did.

>>37974485
Huh.

Our action of corruption has altered the place joint. We have our own depths powered VIP room/personal crib/armory/whatever the fuck we please!

Real question is. what do we want?

>>37974559
I think basically via our corruption action we've exerted enough influence and power to create a pocket dimension halfway between reality and the dream world. Its the perfect location to use as a panic room and store things we do not want found until the right time.

And if we let others in the perfect sexy times place. Its our sacred hang we do what we WANT with it! Skys the limit!

>>37974532

Okay, so tomorrow we get the stash somewhere close, so its ready.

We decrypt some harddrives

We hopefully talk to Kae

And handle anything that might come from this nights insanities or the planned feast

>>37974633
All 2500 of them?

>>37974659
We also need to nix that chaos well so it can't get turned into a gate.

So did we get what we needed from Quinn?

>>37974677
oh yeah, forgot about that. That should be top priority

>>37974659
We need to have a talk with Yonsul to give her the info we got about the super vampire dude.

But we give her the name on a piece of paper, just to be safe.

>>37974669
Yes.

>>37974677
I figure that is part of "Talk with Kae", so we find out a bit more about those.

>>37974699
Are you serious?

>>37974699
Yeah, ancient vampire's name is Walker, Texas Ranger.

>>37974699
We got the vamp's name which triggered the shitstorm.

>>37974711
Talking to Kae about it would telegraph our intentions about it. We know where it's at we can destroy or absorb it. Talking with her should be about calming her down and get her to stop flipping out.

>>37974739
Totally right about that, we have what we need to know and we should try and calm her down

Yeah no, you’ll confront the idea of your own personal realm later. You head back downstairs and say to the listeners behind the doors “Ok, funs over, I’m going to bed, see you all in the morning. Ash, the room is yours for the night.”

You head into Rainyas room and collapse on her bed.

“Are you ok Shee?” asks Rainya

“Yeah” says Lirael quietly “What happened?”

“Too much” you say “lots of stuff, things I’m still trying to understand, and I think, I think I may have destroyed someone’s mind.” Not to mention murdered someone for power a tiny part of your mind says. No, you had to, otherwise you and Kae would be dead right now another part says.

Rainya hugs you tightly “You’re tense” she says “would you like me to rub your shoulders or something, let the tension out?”

“And you can tell us what happened” says Lirael

What do you do?
>I just want to sleep (exclusive option)

I have no idea why Shee would freak out over Killing the dude who totally had killing coming.
Shee killed people who deserved it far less without trouble.

What do we tell Ash about Quinn?

>>37974770

Shoulder rub.
expalin.

Oh god i fucked up quinns mind.

>>37974907
That his mind might have taken a bit of a blow from that epic battle we waged in it. But he should be fine.

>>37974907
That we accidentally his mind and got an eldritch horror known as the lord of betrayal to fix it and jammed some decent person bits in the bits that our psi-sharks ate.

>>37974907
The truth, there was collateral damage in the fight, but he should be mostly alright.

>>37974770
>A shoulder rub sounds great Rainya
>Tell them what happened
So I just invaded someones dreams, had my childhood friend prostitute himself a bit for information, crushed a dudes mind with an alien ocean I summoned from within myself, made a deal with the God of Lies and Deceit and then killed a dude by turning into a vast alien horror from the time before there was light.
Pretty good night, as they come really.
>Unfortunate, but not upsetting

>>37974907
Whatever it is, I hope she doesn't say it as matter-of-factly as this conversation. I'd expect at least a little sympathy for Ash's sake.

>>37974893
its not everyday you whore yourself out for power or get turn into an abomination, killing people while you do so.

>>37974770
>A shoulder rub sounds great Rainya

>>37975080
>you whore yourself out for power
Nothing like that happened, so that day has yet to come

> turn into an abomination
Thats basically what we are doing all day

We did not do it for power, some voted for the chance to fix Quinn.

I think we might of been dead or a chance ot it if we did not summon the ocean.

Or maybe kae might not of gotten out. She seema a lot squishier then Shee.

Looks.like we might neex to.work with nicer Quinn, we did this to him.

Got like a 1 in 2000 crit chance at double 1.

2 theeads in a row, one an important roll.

>>37975080
>you whore yourself out for power
Eh, what?
We got offered power to killa dude Baalzamon wanted dead. Thats not "whoring yourself out", no idea where you get that idea from.
We didn't even do it for the power, we did it because we wanted the dude dead and Baalzamon had the same goal so we teamed up with him for it.

>>37975121
>Looks.like we might neex to.work with nicer Quinn, we did this to him.
I see no particular reason to work much with Quinn after this.

>>37975121
Kae's a Fae, im fairly certain she's at our level if not higher. Remember her dad killed our and stripped Charun of his powers while making it look easy. If that initial spell wasn't triggered she'd likely be able to have offed that guy herself.

Also dice gods hate us.

>>37975121
>I think we might of been dead or a chance ot it if we did not summon the ocean
I doubt it, in the end the Emissary was a huge pushover, and Baalzamon would have made us that offer anyway next round.
Summoning the ocean did nothing but crush Quinns mind.
In fairness sake, of course, we didn't know Baalzamon would make the offer, so Ocean was probably a decent call.

“That sounds great thanks Rainya” you say

“Ok” she says, “lay down on your front, and take off your clothes, I’ve seen this plenty of times when cleaning in some of the spa’s.”

You’re not totally sure that’s how it works, but you strip down to your underwear and lie there explaining the nights events, as Rainya sits atop you kneading the tension out of your back and muscles.

“So is Quinn going to be ok?” asks Lirael “I mean, he’s horrible, but still....”

“I don’t know” You admit “Ah yes Rainya right there, harder-aaah!”

“Does it bother you?” asks Rainya, still massaging you “everything that happened?”

“It didn’t go the way I planned” you admit “Some bits are unfortunate, Kae seemed a little freaked out and there may be side-effects to what happened to Quinn, and the Emissary guy will probably cause problems later down the line, even dead. So yeah, not the way I wanted it to go, but am I upset? No, he was going to kill me, and I did what I could to put Quinn back together, I’m just tired, and stressed is all.”

“Well” says Rainya, a little uncertainly “That’s good”

“Yeah” adds Lirael “As long as you’re ok Shee.”

“I’m fine” you reassure them. Once Rainya has kneaded all of the tension out of your muscles you fall straight to sleep.
---
You wake up the next morning cuddled up to Rainya, no two Rainyas, no wait, three Rainyas. Wow she must’ve thought you really needed looking after. In the other bed in the room you can see the last of Rainyas bodies cuddled up to Lirael, huh, seems Lirael has gotten used to company in bed too.

As you like there you ponder your options for today, and what to do about Ash being here.

Ash

Ash you must go. Food regulations.

My girlfriend and friends can stay. Because reasons.

>>37975516
I think I know what that's gonna be actually.

As you stir, ready to get ready for the day, all three of the Rainyas in bed wake up too and stare at you sleepily.

“G’morning” yawns one “How you feeling Shee?”

“A lot better thanks to you” you say, leaning in to kiss her. Rainya puts a finger to your lips, blocking you.

“What?” you say.

With mischief dancing in her eyes Rainya says “You get a kiss if you can tell which one is the *real* me.”

What do you do?

Losing Time, Lirael still needs to hide from Ash, Ash'd get antsy. Our workers might overhear us.

>Kiss all of them
>Deep kiss
>start grabbing the others with your tentacles

>>37975749
Lirael only needs to stay in the room, actually.


>Our workers might overhear us.
That would take at least one worry off Ms Carters mind.

>>37975619
>Kiss all of them, silly Rainya, you already told us all of you are real
>Deep kiss (slip her the tongue and the tentacles)

>>37975619
>Try to figure it out by observation and deduction
>claim that one as your prize
>Deep kiss (tongue? check, tentacles? check,)

They're all real, we were told this by Rainya back in thread 24, the part with the showers.

>>37975789
Yeah Kae flips out completely and rats us out because we waited too long and wasted all day screwing our LI. We have pressing matters this morning some of which could be very time sensitive. Plus do you really want Ash to peep on us?

>>37975878
>Plus do you really want Ash to peep on us
yes

>>37975878
Well one of the Rainyas can shoo him out if he gets nosy.

>>37975878
Now make a point that isn't doomsaying idiocy.

>>37975878
>Implying if Ash decides to peep on sexy time he won't be dragged into sexy times. With tentacles.

Somehow I bet that'd go over well.

>>37975874
Yes. We know.
In theory we could grab the one that still looks like a duster, since th other ones don't, but I don't think that one counts as less real.

>>37975878
>Yeah Kae flips out completely and rats us
Are you the anon who keeps insisting our friends and allies will betray us at the drop of a hat?
If Kae wanted to "rat us out", she would do that, she wouldn't talk to us at all.
>We have pressing matters this morning some of which could be very time sensitive.
Not really, no. We have some pressing matters, none of which need to be done right now.
>Plus do you really want Ash to peep on us?
That'd be hardly the end of the world.
Might embaress Rainya a bit, and even that I doubt.

>>37975950
No he won't.
We made that clear enough.

>>37975950
He wouldn't be, for a number of reasons, some of which are beyond player control.

>>37975950
Gotta love those tentacles, man.

>>37975953
About the time management
We should really be doing the chaoswell-thing today.

>>37976018
I would prefer tonight, more than today.

>>37976042
that works too. It just has to be done real soon

>>37976018
On the one hand, I would like to give it a few days to make the connection not too obvious to Kae, in the other we don't really know how long that recalibration is going to take.

>>37975919
>Implying she'd let any of them go and be in a coherent condition. She likes lots of tentacles for a reason after all.

>>37975932
Is it doomsaying we just freaked out a high ranking fae and if we don't talk her down she may do something rash?

Is it doomsaying to say we have only so much time in a day?

>>37975950
I'm not as certain as you anon. Still it's conceivable.

>>37975953
Maybe rat out was too harsh, but she could easily do something rash because we sacred the piss out of her.

Anything we do with Rainya is likely to be long involved and time consuming if it escalates like some want it too. We'd lose time and we have lots to do for meeting set up and the well.

As for ash peeping on us it could go well or horribly if it hammers home he has no shot.

>>37976065
we had 3 days when we heard about it now we have 1-2 I think.
