You are Shee Hyul, rebel leader, psychic and Reunited. Your world is ruled by inhuman creatures and this has gone on far too long, it’s time to fight back.

You wake up. You are lying on a makeshift bed in a cave. Wrapped around you are two, no three Rainyas. You can hear her breathing softly, her naked bodies cuddled up to you under the thin blanket.

You can see a tiny sliver of light coming from the makeshift door of this place. Even that tiny glow is enough to remind you of your predicament. Sometime last night during your reunion with Rainya your adaptation failed and the shadows that are now your flesh were revealed.

To Rainyas credit, after a brief explanation she simply shrugged and pushed you down on the bed again. You don’t know if you should be worried or grateful that Rainya takes the constant deluge of weirdness that is in your life in stride without getting freaked out.

You lie there in the darkness, listening to Rainyas breathing, and her triple heart-beat. The light outside indicates that its morning, so soon you need to get up and start doing...stuff.

You’re not sure where to begin, recently you have been so focused on dealing with Jane Vindel that other stuff has taken a back-seat to what you’ve been doing.

With her dead you’re almost lost for something to do.

Almost...
>>
Jade Crimsonthorne needs dealing with. As a member of the Crimsonthorne family with an apparent specialty in mental powers she isn’t much of a threat to you on a personal level, but her family will likely have a lot of security – simply breaking into the Crimsonthorne mansion and ripping her head off might be satisfying, but will only cause you further trouble.

You also need to do something about this place you’ve found yourself. The old Forest and Randolph need to come to some sort of agreement, or perhaps you should simply strengthen Randolph enough to destroy the old forest.

Randolph and the Psiwell play to your strengths, whilst the old forest and the chaoswell play to Kaelyns. Whilst Randolph is willing, eager even to follow your requests, the old forest without Vindel manipulating it is an unknown quantity.

You don’t want to just abandon Randolph, if only there was some way to connect this place to your realm, perhaps opening a portal there, or bringing Randolph with you so he’s not out here alone and forgotten.

You also need to deal with Garrax and Kulrathe. The Breaker and you have a truce, but the others are still a real threat to you.

What do you do when Rainya wakes up?

Get an accomidation, kae having a chaos well also solves her feeding issues and access to top off chaos easily.

I wonder if since randolf does not play by the natural rules, if he can expand out of the valley and increase the water table. When he first started, the river water level raised.

Turn planet into jungle world from dust hell.
>>
>>38608823
With the confirmation that it affects our tentacles, Voidflesh actually surged ahead of reflective skin as viable option, because getting injured on our tentacles is pretty likely and would fuck us hard with Shadowflesh.

It would be bad with Voidflesh too, but not quite as much.
>>
>>38608853
>When he first started, the river water level raised.
That was actually Shee's doing, Randolph didn't exist then.

Expanding eyond the Astrobleme right now is not a option, if people notice Randolph we have a huge problem.

Maybe? On the other hand, we're literally turning into the god of impossibility so she's probably going to have to get used to bedroom stuff getting weird eventually whether we go voidflesh or not..

Touché. Maybe we should just ask if she would be okay with it.

>>38608842
I don't think it would unless she suddenly decides to whip out an antinite dildo. We have 2 maxed out mutation hiding powers and most of the badness associated with void comes from seeing it.
>>
>>38608927
Usually she wouldn't see it unless we show her.

Its definitly something we would need to tell especially Rainya and Dev, since we will be relying on them to keep antinite stuff away from us in a fight.
Luckily we can use Titanic Form to get rid of it for the fight.

Those aren't things we can use in the average fight, since they are so huge and noticeable.

Costs 12EP in difference to Titanic Forms 6. or ws it 8? Its more expensive, anyway.
Although looking at it, I definitly want to get Skelagon one of these days, maybe Vasis too, for the mindrape. Because yum. Even if Vasis Corruption change is absurdly evil.

Nah, thats fucking stupid. Dominate is ALWAYS blatantly obvious, and Psychic Surgery is only obvious if we fuck it up, where Charisma wouldn't help us.

You lie abed until Rainya wakes up. You kiss her gently as all six of her eyes open slowly.

“Good morning gorgeous” you say with a smile.

“Sssstoo early” mumbles Rainya “Just five mo’ minutes.”

“Of course” you say solicitously. You were both awake for most of the night, and you seem to be less worn out than Rainya.

Once Rainya has dozed for a while and finally woken properly you ask “so what did you tell everyone about us being away for so long?”

Rainya yawns “the truth but vague” she says “important business that’s taken you out of the Hive for a few days, very busy, hopefully back soon. The restaurant staff don’t seem bothered and sergeant Yonsul says everything is quiet for now.”

“Well that’s a relief” you say. You had worried you would return home to find another mess awaiting you.

“Are we going home today?” Asks Rainya.

“Maybe” you respond “first I want to talk to the old forest.”

After rising and eating breakfast, and enduring the suggestive comments of Kaelyn, the congratulatory gestures of Dev and the smug look of Lirael, you link to Kaelyns mind and reach out to the old forest.

As you and Kaelyn sit at the border of Randolph and the old forest you contact the mind of the old forest.

Once it recognises you it says -go away

-I just want to talk- you send to it –You were misled by someone claiming to be your creator, Kaelyn here would like to talk to you and-

-Go away!- it responds.

-Why?- Asks Kaelyn through you

-All of you tiny things are horrible!- It says –None of you can be trusted and none of you make sense!-

Well, you did corrupt it so that it hated Jane Vindel...

You are aware of time passing around you. this simple exchange has taken a couple of hours.

It is a fairly major mind-rape that essentially dissolves the old forests personality, replacing it with Randolphs.

Baalzamon likes that sort of thing, not just securing a persons loyalty.

You take a back seat and simply act as translator whilst Kaelyn talks to it. The conversation takes the entire day and goes late into the evening.

She lays out how the forest has a lot of raw magical power but is inexperienced in using it and notes how she can help it master magic to defend itself.

She also points out how as a living chaoswell the forest will be seen as highly desirable by many chaos mages and they may not respect its autonomy. By accepting her help she promises that she will help defend it against those that would harm it.

The old forest listens patiently, occasionally asking questions about the fae, and chaos mages. Once Kaelyn is done the old forest ponders what she has said for several hours and then responds.

-No, I will be fine by myself, please go.-

-But- interjects Kaelyn

-No- says the forest –I’ve had enough of you tiny creatures, I want you gone-

Thinking about this.
Taking a plant from where the Psiwell is, and planting it in our world, has a good chance of allowing us to grow a grove there through which we can connect to Randolph.
I don't think being in two places at the sme time will be too much of a bother to him.

And to the option of giving him a body.
Someone said last thread that would be forced and doesn't make a lot of sense, which is probably true.
But! We got Fecundity of the Ocean, which on higher level allows us to make our created monster and animals 'real', that would be the perfect way to make a body he can inhabit.

I can't see this whole "make them the same creature" thing going in a way that doesn't warp Randolphs mind too, since we'd be foribly merging his mind with someone else.
Especially since gestalt is involved, which actually creates a third mind.

“It’s being stubborn and childish” fumes Kaelyn as the two of you eat dinner that night, long after the others have gone to sleep..

“It’s being cautious” you say instead “look at this from its point of view: It’s lied to and manipulated by someone who claimed to be its creator, no wonder its cynical.”

“I wouldn’t hurt it” says Kaelyn “I’d help it be its own person.”

“I know that” you say “but it’s been hurt before, maybe in time, it’ll come around.”

You and Kaelyn talk about how to convince the old forest but are unable to come up with any definite strategy.

Eventually you both head to your beds, and you to the warm and open arms of Rainya.
---
The next morning, after breakfast you head to the (dormant) psiwell to talk to Randolph.

-My heart is still silent Mother!- Complains Randolph as you make the connection.

-It will wake up again- You reassure him, you’re pretty sure it will...

Randolph grumbles for a bit and then asks –What do you want Mother?- Putting you in mind of a sulky child.

-I want to see if I can restore your Heart- you say to Randolph –I’m sorry I drained it, but I needed the power in a difficult fight-

-Really?- Asks Randolph –You’re going to make it stronger again?-

-Maybe- you say –I’m not sure, maybe more psychic energy or blood will restore it.-

Indeed you try a little of both but neither seems to work, the psiwell drinks both down greedily but stays dormant, seems it might need a significant investment of life force or psychic energy to reawaken early.

You’ll come back to that problem in a moment -Randolph- you say –I’m sure Lirael has told you about my realm-

-Oh yes- responds Randolph –it sounds wonderful, a place you can create all sorts of things-

-I was wondering- you say –If I grew some of your plants there, if it would mean that you would be there, able to see and hear what goes on in there, and have another place to grow into.-

-Yes please!- says Randolph –I don’t know if that would work but I would like to try, can I? Please?-

-Of course you can- you say –But I’d need a plant of yours that can travel, or perhaps some seeds?-

-Yes mother!- says Randolph eagerly –I’ll start making some special seeds right away!-

As Randolphs attention flits away, you consider what to do about the psiwell. You could try using more of your blood and psychic energy to awaken it. Or you could use your aspects to awaken it...somehow. Or you could leave it for now.

What do you do?

You can't just pick random Aspects and have them do "whatever", there is nothing that Family does that would help with the Well here.

Not to mention your silly misconception Family can have only positive effects.

Nobody ever said it could only have positive effects, but I'd assume it's at least less likely to negatively effect our family members.

>>38611198
Family isn't a all-purpose "make it better" power.

>>38611198
We aren't using any power here that could be enhanced for this purpose, therefore Family Aspect doesn't apply here.

No shit. Might be useful though when we're, I dunno, helping our family maybe?
>>
>>38611285
Aspects can be used under their own power, though. We've done it with Corruption before. Why wouldn't we be able to help our son using our Family aspect?
>>
>>38611319
>Aspects can be used under their own power, though.
Some can, some can't, depends on the Aspect. Some have their own effecs, like Corruption and Imposibility, Family doesn't.

Aspects do specific things, Family enhances non-harmful power use for the benefit of our family.
There would be no difference betwen Imposibility and any other power if all of them could be freely used, thats not how it works.
>>
>>38611198
>>Aiding our son
>>Not Family
It actually isn't, Family benefits only the help that are part of our Family as the Aspect is concerned, just calling him "Son" doesn't make Randolph that, Family doesn't apply to Randolph yet.

-Randolph- you say –Do you think you could help Kaelyn come to an agreement with the old forest over time?-

-Hmm maybe- says Randolph –But they both suck, a lot, why do I have to get involved?-

-Please?- you ask –For me?-

You sense wordless grumbling and then Randolph says –Alright, I’ll try, I guess, but they still both suck.-

-Thank you Randolph- you say –I’m sure Kaelyn will appreciate it- At least, you hope she will.

Then you turn your attention to the dormant psiwell around you. This worked before so why not now?

You spill your blood into the ground of the psiwell and pour psychic energy into it too. It greedily drinks it down. To no effect.

[HP 112/152, PE 39/59]

At first anyway: after a half hour or so you can feel a tiny amount of psychic energy emerge, a mere droplet.

[Psiwell PE 1/90]

-You did it mother, you did it!- yells Randolph in your head in jubilation – Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!- You feel vines and treelimbs wrap tightly around you in a crushing embrace.

-You’re welcome Randolph- You say –But not so tight, please-

-Of course mother- He says, the embrace loosening a little –thank you so much!-

With the psiwell back you wonder, could you connect this place to your Realm somehow, create a gate using the psiwells energy?

You’d probably need at least the following: Randolphs plants in your realm, the ability to teleport between dimensions (somehow) and a stronger psiwell.

What do you do next?

But we did use our Family aspect under it's own power once before, in the same vein as we've used Corruption or Impossibility under their own power, and it wasn't just to boost a non-harmful power.

>>38611467
My mistake. Still, even though I was wrong in that regard, I think that the Family aspect could've been successfully used if he was considered a part of it.

The plant is easy, the stronger Psiwell shouldn't be a problem.
The Teleport though, uhm. Thats a issue.
We can't do that right now, and it costs 25XP, and we have 13, so we won't be able to do it right after returning, which shouldn't be a huge issue, but it means there is no point sticking around in the forest for longer after strengthening the Psiwell.

You head away from your companions and Randolphs heart, towards the edge of Randolphs territory. What you’re about to do might not work, and even if it does there may be side-effects. You don’t want anyone getting hurt.

You need to solve the problem of your flesh being living shadows. You’ve been using your ability to adapt as a temporary fix to the problem but using it for this long-term will only drain your powers, meaning you will be weakened at a critical time.

You’ve been thinking about how to go about this in idle moments. You could make your adaptation permanent, though your flesh would constantly shine unless you used your Gifts to stop it. Although not hard to do so, you dislike hiding what you are amongst your close family.

You could petition one of the Five for help, each might offer a solution of their own. The King of Hell offered to replace your skin with demon-like flesh for example.

You might also do something with your alternate forms, such as your Titanic Form. Perhaps you don’t need to petition one of the Five, perhaps you can mix in just enough of an alternate form to your natural shape to solve the problem. Though the Ruler of Shadows would likely only make the problem worse. The Form of the Deep Mother would likely make you look monstrous. But your Titanic Form...would you be taller perhaps? Not the full height of course, and more muscular, yes that might work.

And lastly, you’ve been pondering how to free Lirael from the Dragon of Shadows, perhaps now is the time to unlock your own version of shadows, perhaps now is time to embrace the Void.

[Picking Void involves converting Shadowcraft to Void via Primacy of Blood. You will explicitly be allowed to go into XP debt for this. Some of the other choices will cost XP, this will be outlined in the vote.]

Would we have to, though? Didn't AA have some of the manifestation pool set aside for that?
>>
>>38611972
I would actually prefer going with the Titanic Form route, it seems pretty interesting, and would actually solve the problem, instead of just converting it into a another problem.

On the other hand, I REALLY want that Void finally.
>>
>>38611972
I like the void route. All the benefits described earlier and it seems fitting.

Because then it seems like the optimal choice to me.
Or at least more optimal than the antinite weakness.

We would not get interdimensional teleport anytime soon though

>>38611972
I thought PoB got pre-bought and we just didn't get it until something happened in the story to unlock it?
>>
>>38611972
Titanic Form seems like the way to go for me.

I'm really not keen on getting that extreme Anti-Magic weapon weakness from Voidflesh, especially since it would affect even our tentacles.
>>
>>38611972
Titan form or demonflesh would be best.
Leaning towards titan form.
>>
>>38612028

Yeah. I prefer the titanic form route. Shee then ends up being taller and more muscular. As long as she can avoid the extra arms.

It is a long term solution that lets us not have to use other gifts. Afterwards we can always mix in void.

Besides, we may be able to unlock primacy sooner or later either way.
>>
>>38612097
Its not pre-bought.
There is a XP pool for the spontaneous manifesting of powers when appropriate.

void, its time we kept up with the plan
>>
>>38612025
>Would we have to, though? Didn't AA have some of the manifestation pool set aside for that?

Hence why you're allowed to spend the XP, since it was intended for this, just under different circumstances.

>>38612058
>Would the Titanic Form route cut off access to our other physical mutations in any way?

No. This is mixing a little of Titanic Form into your base form. Making a mutation out of it if you will.

Yes, in theory

>>38612097
What

>>38612670
A lot of them seemed to vote against it because of the anti-magic weakness, and that isn't going anywhere.

Then again, Impossibility gives no fucks about limitation or normal expectations, so high-level Voidflesh (>implying it has levels, yeah, but I recall AA (?) mentioning he'd make a power out of it) might just nom weaker forms of anti-magic instead of being affected by them.

>All of the tentacles turn into giant arms that flex

As much as you’re tempted to try something truly unusual like turning your flesh into the Void between the stars, a safer, more practical solution seems the best for now.

You transform fully into your Titanic Form, four arms and all, and then you transform back, as slowly as you can, the extra two arms and your hammer disappear and you shrink down, until your flesh starts to turn from gray skin into shadows.

You push the transformation fractionally back towards the fully titanic form, playing with the result until you are happy that your skin isn’t shadow at all, and that you are as close to your baseline form as possible.

Then you try something harder, using the power of your Corruptive aspect you incorporate this change permanently into your base form. It’s not easy, or simple, but bit by bit you transform into something that’s part you...and part titanic form.

[-8XP. Body of the Titan gained]

[Body of the Titan: Shee gains in height and muscle. She is now 6ft 3in and has a physically fit build, muscular yet still feminine. She gains 1 Rank in Durability, 2 Ranks in Might and her skin has a slight grey, stone-like tinge.]

[Shee no longer has the shadowflesh mutation. Body of the Titan is a mutation and can be hidden by abilities that hide mutations – when hidden Shee looks like her original, smaller self. It is compatible with Titanic Form but not other Form-type powers.]

Once you are satisfied you head back to the camp and see what your friends think of your new form. Reactions are mixed...

Dev compares his height to yours and once happy that he’s still taller than you, he claps you on the shoulder and says “nice growth spurt Shee, don’t worry, you’ll get there.”

You contemplate going full titanic form right there just to show him how tall you can get! But then you rein in your temper, he was smiling as he said it.

Kaelyn laughs and shakes her head “looking kinda manly there Shee” she says teasingly.
>>
>>38613098
>It is compatible with Titanic Form but not other Form-type powers.
Wait. So FotDM, RoS, and FotKoH are locked out now?
>>
Lirael looks up at you “will I ever get that tall?” she asks. Probably not you think...

And Rainya...gives you a full body hug, running her hands over your biceps and stomach, “Go on Shee” she begs “flex some more, please?”

You comply, a little curious as to how your new body performs. As you do so, Rainya asks “Why are your breasts still the same size?” In the background Kaelyn starts laughing again

Thanks Rainya....if you didn’t love this girl she’d get such a spanking for that comment...

My understanding is that /tg/ dice only add the bonus to the total, not each roll individually.

So for multiple dice I always call for unmodded rolls and do the math mentally.

Jagganatha offers 1 of 4 gifts

Might
Raises Might by 2 ranks

Artifice
Raises Artifice by 2 ranks

Crushing Fists
You double the bonus to hit and damage from Might when using unarmed attacks. Higher ranks increases these bonuses by a further x1 multiplier. Costs 8XP/rank

Inevitability
When making any d20 roll you may use this power after dice have been rolled. Using this power adds a 4th result to the dice rolled, with a value equal to your willpower modifier. In other words this protects against low rolls, but not critfails. It cannot make a critical success, even if your willpower modifier is 20 or higher. This power does not have higher ranks.

This costs 12 psychic energy points, less 1 if benefitting from Body of the Titan, or less your Rank in Titanic Form if using that power (minimum cost 3 psychic energy)

Baalzamon offers 1 of 4 gifts

Intellect of Baalzamon 2
You gain a +4 bonus to your Intelligence, and 2 free XP that can only be spend upon Intelligence ability score or knowledge skills

Dexterity of Baalzamon 2
You gain a +4 to your Agility, and a 20% increase to all movement speeds you possess.
>>
Hidden Self Method
You can become someone else entirely. You can spend 20 psychic energy points in order to hide your entire personality and memories. You dream up an entirely different person, with a fully detailed past, goals, attachments etc. Any attempt to pierce this false persona must beat the required DC by 50 or more as per Hidden Heart Method. Note that this doesn’t change your physical appearance, nor does it allow you to gain knowledge you do not have (if you are pretending to be a doctor and have no medical knowledge then answers you give will sound believable but will not be medically accurate). You can use this talent to pretend to be a specific person but you do not gain access to any knowledge only they would know. This power shields you from any attempt to read your mind or otherwise trick you into revealing who you are. How others interpret the actions you take is not covered by this talent.

Tally the Slain
You gain the power to capture the souls of recently slain foes. This costs 5 psychic energy points (more for powerful foes). Initially you can simply consume them for psychic energy points, and are limited to the number you can hold.
The more you use this power the darker your eyes turn in colour, until they are pools of darkness, this last effect is a physical mutation.
Higher ranks allows you to: hold more souls, forge them into power focuses for yourself or allies, resurrect your foes (sort of) under your command, consume the soul to gain an ability they possessed.
Costs 8XP/rank

Would high enough ranks in this allow us to kill Reaper and have him stay dead by soul sucking him before he respawns?

It also sounds like the kind of thing that branches into alt forms of Segmented Soul stuff like that thing we got from Ichor.

Tally the Slain crosses way over the moral event horizon to me, so I'm going to be voting against that, in spite of it's usefulness.

Yes, but the PE cost for that would be *very* high

The power of Jagganatha and Baalzamon twist and battle within you briefly, before achieving equilibrium.

From Jagganatha you have gained the power of inevitability; when you wish to succeed at something you shall.

From Baalzamon, every enemy you fell can make you stronger, only increasing your power, at the price of a tiny part of your morality. You consider this price them discard it as unimportant, human morals are meaningless to you anyway. And should you die, you fully expect to end up in Hell, so why be concerned about the stain upon your own soul?

You’re in the camp in the jungle that is Randolph, what’s your next course of action?

>>38615234
I assume that Tally the Slain doesn't differ between our enemies and allies, so we can use it on everyone who dies around us?

You decide to strengthen the psiwell some more. Since there seems to be little to no danger here at the moment.

Once again you fill the psiwell with your psychic energy and lifeblood, attempting to push it to its next plateau of power.

You feel the psiwell pulse as you pour the last drops of blood and psychic energy into it, and it expands.

[Psiwell Rank 4 Gained
When using psychic powers within the Psiwell (having part or all of your body in the area) you gain a +4 bonus to all psychic power checks.
The Psiwell holds 160 Psychic Energy points that can be used once per day by those touching the psiwell; drawing more than this will shut it down for 1 day per extra point taken, taking 1600 or more points will destroy the psiwell permanently.
Psiwell radius: 75 centimetres
Corruption: Whilst physically present at the Psiwell and in mental contact with Randolph you can use any psychic power as if physically present anywhere within Randolphs area.]

-How strong am I going to get?- Asks Randolph, once you’re done.

-I don’t know- you admit –I don’t even know how strong this needs to be to open a doorway to my realm, but perhaps, one day-

-One day soon Mother- says Randolph wistfully -Please-

-I’ll do what I can- you say as you slump down, tired from feeding the psiwell this much energy.

And that’s it for tonight. Thanks for playing and I hope you enjoyed it. For your actions today you get 8 XP.

Its a targeted power, you have to choose to use it.

But if you want to capture an allies soul you can.
>>
>>38615456
Thanks for running Pally.

>But if you want to capture an allies soul you can.
Bueno.
>>
>>38615456
Could we take a ton of souls and forge them into one really powerful item or is it just one soul per item?
>>
>>38615456
>But if you want to capture an allies soul you can.
I assume we can put them back in their body correctly and without any kind of mental alteration.

NtLS is better for this anyway, but it might be good if Kae dies or an ally dies before we attune them or non-family members.

You can put multiple souls into one item, but some items may require a particularly powerful soul.

>>38615532
>I assume we can put them back in their body correctly and without any kind of mental alteration.

No.

The resurrection effect of Tally the Slain brings them back under your control, and subtly wrong.

Using it on allies is *not* recommended.

I want to murder Jade, bring her back, and use her as a spy in the Crimsonthorn house.
>>
I asked a question on the ask and from Pally's response it might be possible.

Perhaps we should use some cash to set up a repair shop near the waystation, hire a small staff and have Dev work there as senior mechanic?

That way he has a job and won't deal with losing it when we need him for other work.
>>
If we used NtLS on Rainya, what happens if one of her dupes dies?
>>
>>38615659
>Perhaps we should use some cash to set up a repair shop near the waystation
We don't really have that much money right now.
It would be a pretty significant investment, now, if we had Artifice to create machines to cut down the cost...

he would need to hire people though, as freelancer you can afford missing work even less.
>>
>>38615654
Why the fuck would we take our allies' souls and corrupt them when we can just bring them back normally?
>>
>>38615721
>when we can just bring them back normally
Because that isn't as easy as you think it is, it takes a whole day long ritual to attune one of them.
We can do that with our main companions, and say, Yonsul. But they won't be our only allies forever.
>>
>>38615654
Don't use it on allies, unless they weren't really your allies and this was part of a long-term double-cross.

>>38615456
Hey, I just remembered something. What happened to those anti-magic/psychic/fae/whatever bullets Charun had in his gun the day he died?

>>38615763
It would probably be better to try and Aspect them back than using the soul-rape power.

The business sheet, if accurate states we have about 600k cold hard cash still.

With Shee's luck? probably.
>>
>>38615763
Letting their souls wait around in our island paradise of a realm until we get around to resurrecting them is a whole lot more appealing them consuming their souls and spitting out some warped version.
>>
>>38615774
>It would probably be better to try and Aspect them back than using the soul-rape power.
I see no reason to assume we can't change the soul rape power like any other power we have.
And its not like our Aspect ressurection is very reliable. Our only attempt sofar failed.

That being said, the plan still works perfectly fine with just using it on our enemies.

>>38615821
I hope you realise how your post completly failed to adress anything siad in mine?
The point was for those cases were we HAVEN'T attuned them yet.
>>
>>38615810
>The business sheet, if accurate states we have about 600k cold hard cash still.
Starting a business is really damn expensive.
Ad its not like this is our only expense.

We wanted to expend money for the Dusters too, remember?

I'm not saying we cant do it, but it would definitly be a very significant investment.
>>
>>38615774
>What happened to those anti-magic/psychic/fae/whatever bullets Charun had in his gun the day he died?

Did you take the gun?

If not then it got looted. If you took it, then you still have it, somewhere (not in dimensional arsenal).
>>
>>38615843
>Our only attempt sofar failed.
Mainly because we didn't take the antimagic metal out of us before we tried it.
>>
>>38615843
I'd sooner just let them go to their graves than repurpose their souls.
>>
>>38615881
That wasn't the reason at all, pay more attention.
Its because people took the Aspect with the highest difficulty, then rolled low, and Ash was dead for too long.
The metal in us had nothing to do with it.
>>
>>38615919
>The metal in us had nothing to do with it.
I'm not sure about "nothing" we don't know either way, but it definitly was far from the "main" reason.
>>
>>38615876
I'm feeling kinda lazy and don't want to dig through the archives to show >>38615919 that he's wrong. Was the antinite a factor in us failing the revive Ash roll?

>Was the antinite a factor

>>
>>38615875

I figured starting a business might cost 100k-150k investment. Maybe more or less depending on what Pally says.

Unlike most of the other reunited we don't have a cash source.

I wonder what would be needed to regain the facility, we will need to assault it?

Could we sneak in and loot stuff this time?
>>
>>38615981
>The metal in us had nothing to do with it.
as per the post I replied to.
>>
>>38616019
Doesn't really change anything about you being wrong and not having paid attention.
>>
I know how to kill Kulrathe.

Maximized Tally the Soul, Maximized Life Drain, our Gift-Buffed Sniper Rifle, and Corruption.

One shot soul-draining bullet.
>>
>>38615953
The antinite in Ash *was* a factor - as in trying to revive him with it still in him would have been nigh-impossible (critical success required).

The DC was still high after it had been taken out, as he had then been dead a long time.

His chances where very low once he took the force of the exploding knife and not Shee.
>>
>>38616059
>The antinite in Ash *was* a factor
He asked about the shard in *us* not the stuff in Ash.
>>
>>38616059

So are saying is that doing a good success on the notice/dodge ended up killing Ash.

I guess if we took more of it, we would have had to fight out, and not been able to teleport away.

Which would have been even more dangerous for everyone else.
>>
>>38616082
My apologies, I read that wrong.

The shards in Shee only applied a -1 to the roll, nothing more.
>>
>>38616124
Considering we didn't even reach 20 with our roll, it was therefore a complete non-factor in our failure.
>>
>>38615876
I think we took the gun? Even if we didn't specifically state it, it could be assumed we did solely because we knew something was up with those bullets and because, you know, free gun, extremely large extra-dimensional storage space, may as well. I think one anon mentioned wanting to take those bullets too.

>>38615919
Family was probably the highest difficulty as (I think) Ash wasn't considered part of our Family at that point. I might be misremembering.

The metal in our arm did factor into it, though it was not a very large factor, as it was a -1 on all d20 rolls, and that was a d20 roll.

The low roll possibility could be circumvented with your new fuck-you-dice-gods power in future attempts, at least.

>>38616035
You can't use Alter Power on non-psychic powers and Tally the Soul doesn't have any variables to maximize anyway. Impossibility would probably be a better buff for the shot because FUCK YOUR DEFENSES. Life Drain can't be put into your weapon attacks yet.

>>38616150
Unless it was DC 20. You had a 19, IIRC.
>>
>>38616124
>>38616184
Pally, can Tally the Soul be used to buff Life Drain attacks at all?
>>
>>38616184
>Unless it was DC 20. You had a 19, IIRC.
I'm fairly sure I remember that we had a 19 before modifier were applied, so it didn't make a difference.

>Family was probably the highest difficulty as (I think) Ash wasn't considered part of our Family at that point.
He wasn't, which made me assume it couldn't have worked at all, unless we got a critsuccess or something.
>>
>>38616124

Did Ash have a personal God he worshiped, or did his soul go to the vampire soul launders?
>>
>>38616215
>Pally, can Tally the Soul be used to buff Life Drain attacks at all?

It doesn't increase the damage, but it does mean you would automatically take the souls of those killed via Drain Life.
>>
>>38616247
>before modifier were applied
We had 19 with the full +5 of Imposibility, so with the -1 it would have been 18, yeah, not a factor.

>>38616124
How do afterlives work in this setting?
Do only worshippers of the Five go to their Realms? Do all Five cultists go to King?
>>
>>38616262
>Did Ash have a personal God he worshiped, or did his soul go to the vampire soul launders?

IC you don't know. Ash professed some believe in the vampire god the bloodlord when he was younger, but it was more of a *my family believes this therefore I have to*.

>>38616288
>How do afterlives work in this setting?

copied from ask.fm

A soul in Psychic Rebel Quest is a record of a persons memories and personality stored in magical format - a back-up file if you will.
All living creatures are born with souls, and once they die souls go...somewhere. Depending upon destination a soul *may* be reused (reincarnation), stored (heaven/hell) or may be recycled (souls rendered down to make new souls).

Destroying/recycling a soul removes any chance of bringing that person back, excepting some truly unusual abilities. But depending upon their religion/god that might have been their fate anyway. Most gods only *save* some of their worshipers. The rest face recycling.
People who do not worship a god are almost always recycled.

Beastmen as an artificially-created race, do not have gods. The few beastmen gods that arise are always killed off by the fae when they are young and weak.
>>
>>38616184
>The low roll possibility could be circumvented with your new fuck-you-dice-gods power in future attempts, at least.
I understood Inevitability mean the full value is equal to our WillMod, so it doesn't apply the modifier anymore beyond that.
Otherwise it would be absurdly broken, if we could take 14+ on every roll.
>>
>>38616349
With Skalogen form we could take 20 then, on every roll, for just 12PE.

That would be even more broken than Sireyis ability to expend Deific Points.
>>
>>38616337
>>38616349
>>38616471
Could we get clarification on this?

Does using Inevitability mean we get, currently, 14 as our result, or 14+modifier?

I doubt its the latter, but just in case.
>>
>>38616337
So there really is no reason not to kill beastmen for souls.
>>
>>38616521
It is 14+modifier.

I'm going to disallow it for gift-shaping rolls and will update the power to reflect this.

is it powerful? yes. It's also fairly expensive and your foes can also get it, or similar powers.
>>
>>38616547
BUT IT'S EVIL!
>>
>>38616547
Well, you could get huffy about the whole "murder sentients for fuel" thing, but otherwise, no.
>>
>>38616602

On beastmen, are there any such types that are predisposed towards being more then killing machines?
>>
>>38616602
>I'm going to disallow it for gift-shaping rolls
Probably sensible. Maybe a few other things too.

> It's also fairly expensive and your foes can also get it, or similar powers.
Thats not really the problem, so much as that it makes Willpower even more of a god-stat and means we would have to constantly fight in Skalegor form for maximum willpower to win the rocket tag agains other eople with auto-success powers.
>>
>>38616602
>is it powerful? yes. It's also fairly expensive and your foes can also get it, or similar powers.
I think we need to stockpile xp so that we can permacopy Reaper's ability sealing power when he inevitably uses it on us later on.
>>
>>38616602
>It's also fairly expensive
12/11 EP is not expensive.
Especially since we got Randolph and Lirael to draw PE from.
And once we upgraded Mystic Sipphon, we can use it to maximise powers that then give us the full cost back.
>>
>>38616665
A fair point.

how about a PE cost linked to the bonus it grants you?

I.e, the higher your willpower the more expensive?
>>
>>38616722
That seems sensible to me, yes. I had thought the same thing.

Maybe 2*WillMod PE.
>>
>>38616722
I'd also make it so gestalt doesn't affect it, It costs Pe from our pool alone, maybe make it so no PE means no buff.
>>
>>38616800
I think if you do that, we should be allowed to scale it down.
So we get to choose how high we roll, and our WillMod is the maximum, otherwise we end up having to avoid higher Willpower.
>>
>>38616610
That is actually a legitimate reason not to do things.
>>
>>38616852
That's why I said it in allcaps. It's important.
>>
Lirael has 90 xp banked.
Dev has 102 xp banked.
Kae has 49 xp banked. Likely should create her memorized spells for now.
Randolf has 26xp banked.

Next xp spending is going to be a bit.

>>
>>38617153
Next thread we will give Dev psychic powers. Fuck everything else.
>>
>>38617186

Yeah, if we remember.

Rainya also has 28 xp banked.

How much should we have banked for Lirael? Her defenses are pretty wimpy currently, some melee skill to help in melee would not be too bad.
>>
>>38617178
I don't think I can be surprised by what people will vote for in this anymore.
>>
>>38617239
We wnated to use Rainyas on getting Tw-Weapon Fighting so she can create two weapons with Energy Weapon, and get the Flying and such. But it didn't get slotted in last time.
>>
>>38617242

I wanted Int or Agility, simply so that we could go ahead and get those abilities and whatever they open up.

But as soon as I saw what was offered, I knew people would take the morally questionable but awesome one.

At least agility would improve magic defense too.
>>
>>38617242
We have a pretty consistent line most of the time, often its more that people have different ideas how o use certain powers, and don't share them, leading to others overreacting that "SHEE WILL BE EVIL NAOW".

Pretty much all the time we get "bad" powers, and use them for positive stuff, or at worst, ambigious stuff. TtS won't be any different.
>>
>>38617321
>I wanted Int or Agility, simply so that we could go ahead and get those abilities and whatever they open up.
We only really need them to open up Segmented Soul to change the soul shard in Kae. Tally was the fast lane to solving the same problem.
>>
>>38617391

Well, Durability, Fellowship, WIllpower and Might all unlock useful abilities and have as requirements.

Agility and intellect should also do the same.
>>
>>38617345
Well they might be right this time since ever use of the power removes a little bit of her morality.
>>
>>38617345
Honestly, TtS isn't even -that- much worse than just killing someone. All it does is expedite the destruction and repurposing of their soul.
>>
>>38617464
>Durability, Fellowship, WIllpower and Might
Honestly, we barely ever purchase any of those, even if I know what you mean, but they usually aren't that great.

>>38617472
>removes a little bit of her morality
No it doesn't.
Shess "morality" is Impsobility, Corruptio, Family and it doesn't lessen any of those.
And it has absolutely no mind-influencing effect. Its a figure of speech.
>>
>>38617528
>Honestly, we barely ever purchase any of those, even if I know what you mean, but they usually aren't that great.

Too many abilities, too little xp to use it on.

We maxed Fellowship and have a few of the peripheral abilities. Willpower is the same. We have durability for regeneration.

Might, we don't give a damn about, even if it would be powerful.

We should use the FBB xp to buy a level of durability to get us to 9. That lets us regen 120health in 24 hours. 5 an hour.
>>
>>38617178
I will sodomize his corpse.

>>38617345
I've already got peripherals to make it less evil. A little. Maybe, it's all still in the mental stage.

Mentioning Valkyries gave me ideas.

>>38617391
Most PotA abilities will likely have similar requirements and power levels (e.g. all stat boosters, mutations, transformations).

>>38617484
It depends on what they worship, so using it on the average sapient is probably still a no-go.

Even using it on beastmen unnerves me, personally.
>>
>>38617620
>Mentioning Valkyries gave me ideas.
I had hoped it would, it was honestly the first thing that came to mind for me.
I had no delusions we would ever actually use it for its obvious purpose anyway.
Looking forward to see what you come up with, I think the "taking the sols from the battlefield and give them a second chance", does fit Shee very well, especially in regard to Corruption.
>>
>>38617620
If we were truly cruel we could breed them as cattle to feed it.
>>
>>38617620
I wonder if TtS will eventually turn into some kind of thing where the souls of Shee's enemies get stuffed in the basement of her Realm.
>>
>>38617620

The only times I can ee us using it will be when we kill Jade and Kulrathe.
Looking forward to that.

Kulrather should be our next direct target. I think we might be able to hit him when he goes to retrieve those anti magic people who crashed.
>>
>>38617961
Just because its allowed, doesn't mean he will no dislike it.
Might be he can't forbid it, but says he would prefer it if we wouldn't do it, that'd be a reason for me not to do it.
>>
>>38617988
Either him or Jade. Once we get forest settled.
>>38617961
Allowed doesn't mean he can't get mirror pissed over it.
>>
>>38617802
Those aren't average sapients though. By average I meant sapients that aren't total monsters who you don't have a legitimate grudge against or serious reason to devour their soul (e.g. Reaper).

>>38617789
I feel confident saying you could make your own Hell or Soul Prison or some such thing and put the souls of your enemies into it if you so choose.

>>38617777
Pls no.

>>38617667
Einherjar are probably going to be a thing.

>>38617877
It'd also be a constant flow of soul-power as opposed to a one-off boost. Soulwell?

Well of Souls sounds pretty rad. And I'd be down with a constant flow.

Think that's a thing that can become a thing?
>>
>>38618064
>You could just give him the soul if he's going to be a big crying baby about it.
I could see him showing up if we try to devour one of his followers souls, especially his Avatar to offer us a deal in exchange for that soul.
Looking after those who serve him is his thing.
>>
>>38618064
>You could just give him the soul if he's going to be a big crying baby about it.
Command and control are his things anon, not so much we took it as we dissed him for it.
>>
>>38618007
>>38618029
Or he could just ask nicely for us to give it to him once we take it? It's not like the Tom thing where it's irreversibly fucked for him once it happens. We'd have the soul and if he wants it really badly we can just hand it over.
>>
>>38618064
>You could just give him the soul if he's going to be a big crying baby about it.

I doubt it. He likely knows the rules of the game. I would say just give him the soul afterwards. Insurance he does not somehow come back, and we release it into kings hands.

Even if we get nothing for it. The other thing with the reunited is to produce well trained soldiers/demons for them in there wars. So shattering the soul of them is not likely a good idea.

>Soulwell

That would be awesome, Shee is going to be a god someday.
>>
>>38618064
>It'd also be a constant flow of soul-power as opposed to a one-off boost. Soulwell?
That entire thing just makes me think of a bunch of bored officeworker ghosts sitting around in a hole doing nothing.
>>
>>38618142
The discussion was about eating the soul, which is definitly irreverisble, so he'd have to tlk to us in the short period between capturing and OM NOM NOM.
>>
>>38618225
Guess I missed that, then, because I wanted to rip out his soul and keep it for use as a summon or to make a soulbound weapon with it. Seems way better than just shredding it for some PE
>>
>>38618256
At the same time when we could do either of these things, we also could have the ability to get some of their abilities once eaten.
>>
What about Kulrathe's officers? Do we TtS them too? I hope we do. At least the ones who didn't give a fuck about participating in the raid
>>
>>38618327
Nope. Way too much hassle to sort through wo went willingly, and who got caught up in his mind-rape powers.
I rather kill as little as possible and let the souls sort themselves out, not much point in destroying them.
>>
>>38618115
>>38618129
>>38618174
I was joking. I will never turn down the opportunity to call one of the Five a crying baby or similar insult.

He'd probably do something before you do things to his soul if he has a problem with you keeping it.

>>38618111
It's almost certainly possible.

>>38618213
Make it into a sitcom to finance your ever-expanding chain of restaurants.

>>38618225
He's an extremely powerful God, who has a non-zero amount of power invested into the soul. He could make it so you can't do anything to the soul with the slightest effort if he really wanted to.

Still, no harm in asking him beforehand.
>>
>>38618392
>destroying them
>not keeping them
>>
>>38618418
We can only store a limited number of souls.
>>
>implying we're going to be able to do any of this cool stuff with TtS.
We'd have to upgrade it first. It costs 8 per.

Right now we can just munch for PE
>>
Is it wrong that I would to store all those captured souls in the bodies of little girls which Shee then can raise on a island in her realm?
>>

What? Where did you get that from?
I find that weird too, but that you jump from "raising them" to "pedophile" probably says more about you than about him.

Probably says more about tg than either of us. Usually it starts of as "raising" then it get weird.
>>
>>38618661
>make bad cops into some nice shoes.
Or have them get turned into fertilizer. I think it'd be fitting to have the souls of the eternally fucked get dragged underground by plants and perpetually drained like what happened to Shee in the jungle.
