You don't have time for this, really, you don't. Your friends may be dead, and you really don't have time for two pathetic bandits, you sprint out from your cover, dashing towards the bandit with the sword, as you run, you pull your arm back and throw your shield at him. It flies much better than you would've thought for a rather heavy shield, then again the bandit isn't that far from you and you have momentum on your side. As the bandit turns to see what the noise is, the shield catches him full on in the face with a loud "PANG!", as he staggers backward, you rush in, using your warhammer to finish the job your shield started, driving the spike into the bandit's head. You look down and see your shield, none the worse for ware. Quickly grabbing it and fitting it back into place. A rough voice sounds near you, "What the fuck! You bastard! You killed Burgess! I'm gonna gut you like a pig!" Turning, you see the other bandit bearing down on you with a battleaxe, you

The bandit doesn't have any real form, he's just coming at you wildly, you see an opening. You lunge forward, bringing you warhammer back to crush his ribs, his axe swing in, you manage to dodge the main force of the blow, but he still nicks your face, making a shallow cut across your cheek.
>Avitus HP 9.5/10
Then your warhammer slips in, and slams into his chest with deadly force, crushing his ribs. The bandit drops to the ground gasping pathetically, trying to force air into his ruined lungs, there's no way he can live through that, his doomed to die slowly and painfully, starved of air.

You don't have time for this dammit! Your friends could be dead right now! The sounds of battle from outside have ended, and a vague dread fills you as rush to the door of the cathedral, ignoring the gasping bandit on the floor. As you reach the doors, you look out in horror at the scene that greets you, the grassy open space in front of the cathedral is covered in the corpses of initiates and bandits, far more of the corpses are wearing the dusty gray of the initiates robes, the grass is stained red, and a sickly-sweet iron smell fills the air. Your eyes are drawn to the kneeling figure at the center of the carnage, you recognize him immediately as Ergon, still clasping his longsword, several dead bandits laying on the grass around him, in the distance you can hear the sound of many hoofbeats galloping into the distance, as you watch, stunned, Ergon tries to stand, before his legs collapse underneath him, and he falls to the ground, motionless.

"No dammit no!" you breath, rushing over to where Ergon lays, miraculously, he's still breathing, but you don't think he'll last that long, he's bleeding heavily from a slash across his chest, as you draw near, he stares up at you weakly, eyes slowly glazing over. He coughs, and say's in a weak voice, "Avitus... you're still alive... knew you'd be... take more than some bandits to kill you huh?" His weak laugh quickly turns into a cough, blood pooling at his lips, "Avitus... there's something... I need..." his eyes grow distant

Nononono you can do this, your lay on hands blessing can save him, you know you can, you can't let Ergon die, you can stop it from happening, you WILL stop it from happening! You close your eyes, setting your hands on Ergon's chest and reaching inside yourself for the blessing of the lady, for the golden glow of healing that you know can save your friend! There's nothing there. Your mind casts into an empty void, your mana is still present, but the lady's blessings are gone, you can't feel her at all, all you feel is... hollow. The golden warmth that filled you has disappeared, and in it's place, nothing remains

"Well then," a voice like silk echos in your head, "I told you this would happen you know, It warned you that it was all lies, she's abandoned you, she cares nothing for you and your friends, and she's left you in your time of need." no. no. That can't be true, she wouldn't have abandoned you, right? Then again... the elders were lying, the drill instructor was lying, what if it was all a lie? "See?" the voice asks."I tried to warn you you know. And know she's gone, and your friend will die. That is, he might." What? What does that mean, you can't let Ergon die, what does he mean dammit?! "Can't you hear them? Just listen, there are people offering to help, they can save your friend, all you have to do is listen."

Weird, but I can totally get behind it.

>>40632763
You open your mind, straining ears that do not exist to listen for the slightest hint of the voices, and out of the darkness, they come.
The first is a voice like molten steel, screaming it's hatred out for all the world to hear, promising you the strength of hatred,
The second is a voice like the sound of a shroud, of scissors snipping thread, telling you of power, the power to rule over the border between life and death,
The third Is a voice of clanging chains and turning keys, offering you the might of conquest, of enslavement and the power to rule,
But in all of these voices, there is the echo of another, though these voices may speak of their own power, their own strength, they all come from a single, dark, voice. There, and yet not there, only the echo's remain, but those echo's are enough to grant the other three power, those echo's are enough to heal your friend.
CHOOOOOOSE YOUR PATRON!
>Raknora the molten whip, god of fire and rage

No matter what god you choose, you will gain some shared powers, including lay on hands, smite good etc. and several powers relating to negative energy.

For those of you who missed the discussion thread, other gods/goddess's DO exist, and you WILL be able to contract them eventually. it might be a little hard to keep them all happy, but it will ABSOLUTELY be worth it. so don't worry about being completely route-locked by this choice.

>>40633030
The echo is basically the negative energy, you can't choose it because it's powering the other three, whatever the echo was has long since disappeared.
At least, that's what religion teaches.
>>40633048
I would also like to point out that not picking Krona won't lock you out of becoming a lich or death-knight, and you can grab her later if you want.

What exactly makes controlling undead angsty?

My point is that we aren't missing out on doing that, power over death isnt limited to just zombies skellies and liches, we could be the "good" end of the evil spectrum, putting the bogey monsters that go bump in the nigbt to rest or under our control. i really want to see it where we try to do evil things but people love us for everything we do. That shits hilarious.

The voices press in on you, raising to a terrible and beautiful cacophony, they press in, filling your mind with visions, you can't... you can't decide!
The visions swim and dance in your head, finally, you settle on two, a figure in shining black armor, watching from atop a hill as enslaved figures below toil to build a massive fortress of black stone, and a figure striding through a massive battlefield, the corpses laying in the sun, as he pass's, the dead armies rise to their feet, following behind the figure in a lingering shuffle. Suddenly a though occurs to you, why not both?
You take the two images, and guide them together, searing pain fills your body, and you are thrown from your mental palace back into the world of the living.
The silken voice comes to your ears.
"Well I'll be, it's been a very long time since i've seen anybody do that, guess I chose correctly after all."
Sitting ontop of one of the corpses in front of you, is a strange lizard-like creature, it's skin shines with silvery scales, and it's eyes are a deep glowing purple, staring into your own ice-blue.
>Speak to the strange figure (and what do you say)

So, our character is a disillusioned youth, who was trained to believe that taking no more than you need is righteous and that hoarding money is evil, who's patrons are now gods of Tyranny and Death/Undeath, who went back to save his friends using whatever means after his goddess of so-called Goodness abandoned him?

Can . . . Can we be a Stalinist Captain America? Take no more than you need, or else I will take it from you. Honesty is important, so I will have a secret force to ferret out lies. No man may rule alone, so the State is the absolute ruler. If you will not serve the state willing in life, then you will serve those you betrayed with your selfishness in Death.

Essentially, let's have noble goals but do very bad things to get them done, and be fairly hypocritical about actually enacting them. For instance, the State needs a strong leader so that has to be us as we can't trust anyone else to not seize power.

Side note, anyone else been reading the Gods Among Us - Injustice comics by DC?

>>40633907
For a second you want to question the odd little lizard thing, then you realize. Ergon's till bleeding out at your feet. "Oh GODSDAMN!" you yell turning back to Ergon and laying your hands over the wound. The lizard thing speaks up "You should probably know that your magic might be a little-" suddenly, everything is black, and then, you can see it. As you channel the magic of your lay on hands, you can see the divine energy's of the two gods twisting and fighting each other, and then you notice something, one little string of magic, connected to all the others, flowing through them and crisscrossing it's way through your magic, your very soul, into Ergon's own life force, it's so well-interwoven you're amazed you noticed it, it looks... loose, like if you were to pull on it, everything would come together...

You grab the thread, you have to save Ergon, you just have to. You pull. A crashing wave of emotions sweep over you, resolve, sadness, blinding rage, all slam into your mind as images of your fellow initiates being cut down by bandits assail you, you hear screaming, and realize it's you, you collapse in a heap next to Ergon, your mind taxed by the intense emotions that just assailed you. You get to your knees, looking over at Ergon, the lizard-creature appears to have vanished. The first thing you notice is that the chest wound Ergon had has completely sealed, the next thing you notice however, is the blackened scales running up his right forearm before terminating at the elbow, and the wicked claws that have formed on his right hand, his ghostly-pale skin, and the black fleck marks in his now open eyes.
>You have turned Ergon into a revenant to save him from death!
>You have bound your soul to Ergons!
>You have absolutely no fucking idea what the fuck you just did, what it'll do to either of you, or how to do it again!
>In fact, you've never heard of this crazy shit before in your life!
Ergon turns his head to you, his voice coming weakly from his exhausted body.
"A... Avitus... I saw... everything... they betrayed us... they left us to die...I... I understand now..."

There will be a reckoning, brother. Our Masters may have betrayed us, but we will shine the light of truth on this world nonetheless. Brother, I must confess, they are not the only ones to betray us. Our Goddess has abandoned us as well.

But we will talk of this later, for now we must find Jasmine. If our gods and masters will not save us, then we will save each other and damn them all right back.

sooo.
the only real consensus seems to be
>we need to find jasmine. okay, writing.
For those of you wondering, only Ergon's right arm has scales on it, and they cover his hand completely, his fingers have sharp black claws where a normal human would have nails, the scales end at the elbow.
The black flecks in his eyes seem to jitter and dance, whenever they touch the iris, they seem to pass beneath it, leaving the color undiluted
>>
>>40634417
>We need to find Jasmine!
>>
>>40634523
Also, swearing Vengeanc and Inspiring him.

We can talk about the arm and shit later, if he asks we don't know either, however now is not the time to question good fortune, but to use it!
>>
>>40632983
Link to said thread?
>>
>>40634511
yeah you know how you saw all those initiates dying? ergon basically just got a direct emotional dump of the last ten minutes or so straight into his soul. he knows that the lady left you, and literally felt your feelings of betrayal and anger. there IS a mechanical advantage to this, but I'm not gonna tell you guys unless you all want me to, since it'll come out in the story anyways.
>>
>>40634568

Let's see if we're smart enough to figure it out on our own.

If it takes us fucking ages you can just dump it on us I guess.
>>
>>40634563
It's fallen off the board by now, since it was just a discussion thread nobody bothered archiving it. you didn't miss anything important to the story
>>
>>40634417
also, yes you did just technically create a completely new race.
if you play your cards right, you can eventually learn how to do this without the soul-meld. that's a pretty long ways off though.
>>
>>40634417
You stop to catch your breath, you really don't have time to figure out what in the hells you just did, you'll cross that bridge later. for now, you have more important things to worry about, namely "Ergon, where's Jasmine" Ergon's face grows panicked, "Was... trying to... tell you... the bandits... carried her off."
What.

I'm going to guess that the mechanical advantage is that we can totes inspire the dude, or share information telepathically somehow.

Fuck this shit, we're going to track them. Ergon will stay behind here and heal up, help who he can.

We don't have to kill them all, we just have to get her away from them.

Obviously, we're god touched, and this is an opportunity to get some alone time while we travel to . . . discuss, with our new patrons, just what it is they want and what they can offer us.

Also, even with two of us it's unlikely we're going to wreck all the bandits, so we might as well keep it on the DL for now.

>>40634753
From Ergon's memory dump you saw that most of the bandits died attacking the chapel. in fact he and jasmine killed a good number of them themselves. At a rough estimate you think there are about 10 of them left.
Meant to put this in the story post when you melded, sorry

Basically the gods you have as your patrons determine which spells you unlock. because you've been patroned by the Krona and Tilarn, most of your spells will have to do with necromancy, domination, chains, and death. and negative energy, but you would've gotten that no matter what you picked.

Do you even Blackguard, Anon? We have to kill them all, but not at the cost of our own life. We can poison them, we can run away and come back later and kill them in their sleep, we can bar the doors to their barracks and burn them alive (along with any of their captives or slaves who aren't our friends), we can leave them alone for now, hire them later after we are rich and wealthy, and trick them into being sold into slavery to demons in hell using legal trickery in the contract they sign so that we can summon them as a tortured undead police force for the towns we conquer.

But right now, our GOAL is to save our friend.

Let's not be fucking Saturday Morning cartoon villains about this.

>>40634793

Your only current mind control spell is a ritual
>Enslavement of Tilarn
that takes a half hour to complete, and the victim needs to be inside the ritual circle
And to be fair, they only had about 25 men to start with, and the cathedral had about 100 initiates. all things considered, they did pretty well.
>>
>>40634961
That means the scrubs got fucking wrecked, but Jasmine and Ergon took out at least 12 of them.

Yes, that is DEFINITELY what happened.
>>
>>40634961
damn level 1 commoners!
>>
>>40634961
Wait, 25 guys wrecked 100 initates (like us) and 10 are left?

Lets get a horse, and track them. We'll have to attack when they're distracted, or negotiate. Perhaps we can tell them what happened to the loot in exchange for Jasmine?

After all, we just want our friend back. Or hell, we can even offer to join them, praise them for destroying our corrupt and hypocritical masters.
>>
>>40634961
shit man, reminds me of Ramsey and his 20 good men.

But no seriously, they must have had shit training, we literally must be the best initiate in the whole temple, rivaled by only Ergon and Jasmine.
>>
>>40634997
No, initiates not like us, Ergon, Jasmine and MC were all going to be made full Paladins after their trial.
>>
>>40634972
well, considering that the three of you were about four years older then any of the other initiates, were forewarned by the guy who came running into the cathedral, and were the only ones who actually had their weapons and armor on them when the bandits attacked.
Yeah that's pretty much exactly what happened.
>>40634997
>>40634998
again, all the other initiates were about four years younger than you, unarmed, and take by surprise.
>>
>>40634961
>25 men
>Jasmine and Ergon took out at least 12 of them.
so that means there's 13 left...
Think we could take out 13 mooks?
I think so.
What does the Blessing of Krona do?
>>
>>40635016

So they just executed an entire monastery and then decided to dip out with a hostage?

Almost seems like they were just doing it because they had nothing better to do.

I like them already.
>>
>>40635016
They were all unarmed and unarmored? That makes way more sense then.
>>
>>40635038
To be fair, Jasmine's the perfect waifu.
Pure, pretty, and doesn't talk back.
>>
>>40635027
We also killed two in the Cathedral.

And it's not unreasonable a mob of 100 dropped at least one or two of the dudes

So about 10 or 9 left.
>>
So guys, should we run back inside and get our ax while our friend gets situated on a horse or just go right for the prize?
>>
>>40635016
keep in mind, you were at the temple for five years before you took the trial, most of the other initiates only had about a year of training.
>>40635027
your forgetting the two you killed in the cathedral.
>Blessing of Krona
An hour-long ritual that let's you reanimate up to five corpses within the boundary's of the ritual circle.
>>40635038
yeah they also looted the rest of the place dry,
>>
>>40635038
Or the hostage is something special
>>
>>40635066
which honestly didn't get them much cause the elders were hording it in the secret cave.
>>
>>40635049
We must get her back.

If she hates us, even better, the chase is often as good as the kill, so to speak.

>Trying to waifu the first female npc
I mean it's a plus one she is mute, but I see her more of a bro.
>>
>>40635235
I knew you'd say that.
But, if we don't have a fresh coat on at all times, we're doing something wrong.
>>
>>40635149
I'm actually mostly pulling from history. Nothing says we can't actually ENJOY cleansing scum from the earth.

But look at how we developed so far. We doomed our old masters to their fate because they betrayed us, we took out our rage on a corrupt authority figure (the drill Sergeant) and we prayed to a higher power to save our friend who stood valiantly when others would have fled etc. etc.

Besides, Khornates a shit.

> complex layers of motivation and a sympathetic philosophical tilt that makes us likeable

I never said it would make us likeable. If anything, people would be irritated by our smugness. But it lets us get away with being a condescending prick so much better.

Admit it, anyways, you're that guy who's always on his phone unless there's combat going on so he can roll his munchkins dice.
>>
>>40635233
Well shit.

Uh-huh, but my father was a turkey baster!

>>40635238
To be fair, I just found his idea of wanting a useless stupid bitch whose only redeeming quality was big tits to be absolutely disgusting, and would rather go for the qt who could actually do things.

And that I have a feeling any other potential waifus will probably suck, or just be eyecandy, for the most part.
>>
>>40635235

See:

>>40635206

Flayed skin seems equally brutal and we don't have to argue about coloration (you fucking fags)
>>
>>40634699
A cold rage grips you at Ergon's words
No. nononononononononono THEY WILL DIE FOR THIS! "agh!" Ergon flinches, right, right. Ergon's in no condition to go anywhere right now,you need to find him a horse. and grab you doubleaxe now that you think of it. Right, horse. "Don't move Ergon, I'm going to find you a mount so you can come with me." he chuckles weakly, "Don't think... you need to worry... about me moving much right now." You stand, rushing to the armory to grab you doubleaxe, and then rush to the stables, there might still be a horse there, if the bandits didn't have time to run them off. Reaching the stables, you cast about, and find a muscular black stallion grazing not far away, taking him by the bridle, you lead him back over to Ergon, helping him into the saddle, and strapping him down.
>Stay and look for something in the cathedral (what)
>You don't have time to look around, it's mid-day now, you have bandits to track and murder.

>>40635177
I was thinking it would be a pure black steed, but at night it looks like a undead horse.

>>40635258
several things,
1: Jasmine's breast are of average size, if not a little small
2: She is just as skilled a fighter as you and Ergon.

>All aboard the murder train!
>>
>>40635265
>Flayed skin seems equally brutal and we don't have to argue about coloration (you fucking fags)

Actually, the skin dries out, and faces discoloration, in addition, it can be hacked away, and makes us look like a total fucking "tele-bhind-u" edgemaster, which is lame as shit.
>>
>>40635258
>And that I have a feeling any other potential waifus will probably suck, or just be eyecandy, for the most part.

Is that hunch based on some kind of actual evidence or do you just not have even an iota of confidence in the QM.
>>
>>40635267
>Stay and look for something in the cathedral (what)
Find the most prominent holy symbol in the temple, and put our hammer through it.
>>
>>40635282
Damn.
She really is an absolute best.
>>
>>40635282
That doesn't not change my point at all.

>>40635295
Seeing as how most waifus in EVERYTHING are terrible, I have confidence in nothing, in that regard. Doesn't matter who is in charge.

>>40635282
speaking of which, as far as pysical descriptions go
Ergon is a little shorter than you, he has medium length sandy-blond hair, and freckles. He is now extremely pale, he's also wiry, like you. Not particularly beefy, but fast on his feet, and quite good with his longsword.
Jasmine has short-cut raven black hair, well defined athletic muscles, and uses a boar spear as her weapon of choice.
>>
>>40635267
Quickly search the place for any other survivors, kids are good at hiding in small places, while keeping an eye out for supplies, food water weapons and horses.

Also shut the hidden escape tunnel, so we can come back for the treasure later without it being taking by anyone else...
>>
>>40635267
Goootta fuck some bandits over a barrel and get our friend back. Let's ride.
>>
>>40635267
Let's see, we're good for weapons?

Maybe some camping gear, or something to start fires with? Or perhaps a crossbow or something?

I swear to god if we waifu the first female NPC in the quest I'm going to blow a fucking gasket and just lobby for pure murderhobo every time we need to make a choice.

Anyway QM, let's go rekt some bandits.
>>
>>40635373
Hey, if she's a best, it can't be helped.

Plus, you need to fucking relax. You're sounding like that guy who wanted to waifu that one chick who always got pushed to the sidelines in quests ran by that dude uh, fuck, he runs the Vertical Tank Quest, I can't remember his name. But she never got waifu'd so you're venting that someone else is!

The chick's name is Tarin, I believe.

I concur, however, it is long past due to slaughter some mooks.
>>
Gah! I wish to be here for the bandit rolls, but the sun threatens to rise! I must sleep. Good luck, anons!
>>
>>40635373
I would like to point out that you ARE a blackguard, if you guys can find good reasons, and methods, to assemble a harem, I will write it.

Harems a shit, bro.

No way. At the very most, you get three, preferably two, but hopefully one.

Any more than three is stupid.
>>
>>40635440
We could even do it on purpose!
I'm sure Tilarn would be cool with trickery and subterfuge to get more people under our thumb.
>>
>>40635345
alright writing for
>shutting the escape tunnel
>grabbing your camping supplies
Then
>setting out for delicious revengemurder
The bandits will make camp before sunset likely, so we should hit them in the night, as soon as it gets dark since everyone will still be adapting to the darkness.

>Putting your hammer spike through the most prominent holy symbol you can find
Big time waster here.
>>
>>40635440
Well to be fair, Red Joker was stuck in nightmare fight for a few hundred years or something. The players don't show any long term goals other than kill things.
>>
>>40635470
Or we could do it like a real harem.
Have 70 wives we don't give two shits about, and then 1 or 2 that we actually care about.
>>
>>40635477
It literally takes 5 seconds. Especially since it's probably in the inner sanctum. Which we are passing through.
>>
>>40635490
Man, do you know how silly it is to have to name that many characters? Not even actually care about them.

Fuck, look at AEQ, shit is suffering.
>>
>>40635470
I would rather have the mute as a friend killing shit together with Ergon, She'll be our wingmen and we would sometime save fine bitches we just fuck them and continue on.
>>
>>40635503
>name
Oh, anon, you so silly.
>>
>>40635267
Running back to your room, you grab your camping gear,
>Backpack gained
>50 ft. of rope gained
>Flint an steel gained.
>tent gained
>bedrolls gained
running back to the cathedral, you turn the carving of the lady, causing the alter to slide back into place over the hidden tunnel. A lot of money was swept downstream, you might need that later on, as you're turning to go, you see the triple-ring of the lady on top of the alter glint in the sunlight, a cold anger grips you heart, and you turn, smashing your hammer into the holy symbol, twisting the bronze rings and sending them flying to the ground.
roll me a d10 No there aren't crits, it's a random table.
>>
>>40635506
Eh, to each his own. Fine with the killing shit together, but no reason you can't do that while fucking. I find random sex to be silly, though. I dunno man, opinions and shit.

Still, I'll be voting to waifu, and you will be voting not to, I look forward to the outcome, whichever it is, and good luck.

Quelling your rage, you stare down at the red-headed kid, honestly, once you got past the urge to kill him, your pretty impressed he was actually brave enough to attack you, considering you're the one carrying a giant axe on his back. In as calm a voice as you can manage, you ask him "So, what was that for shrimp?' he stammers, and it comes to your attention how poorly clothed he actually is, really they're rags more than anything. Of course they, those damn lying penny-pinching priests! The kid finally manages to stammer out an answer, "Y-y-y-you're n-n-not a bandit?" he asks, taking a step back

We're all here for evil, it's in the title of the quest after all. This is called roleplaying.
Besides, we went with the gods of death and tyranny, not the god of rage.
Our evil is going to be the subjugation of people both living and dead.

And before you say "then kill him and raise his corpse", it takes an hour to perform the ceremony, and the zombie of a 13 year old wouldn't be very useful.

I was thinking we might be dabbling in necromancy stuff after....
>>
>>40636099
Actually, Can we make any minions from the dead currently? They could be useful in taking out the bandits, and they are very fresh!
>>
>>40636099
Well, of course we'll enslave nations. Men crave guidance in their lives, a strong ideal to guide them, order and structure to guard their lives.

Reminder that Plato's Republic contained slaves, and that he thought it would be cruel to send them out into the world where they would be unable to care for themselves properly becoming like animals while starving to death.

>>40636156

Too slow to chase them down, they're on horses, and we want to save Jasmin before they rape or kill her.
>>
>>40636191
Although, if they did one or both of those things, she'd be much easier to recruit.

Okay guys here's the deal
It's 1 am where I live, and I've been running for about 13 hours now, I'm about to fall asleep at my keybored.
feel free to discuss anything you want to about the quest/plans to take out the bandits/world
I'll answer any questions as long as i'm awake, I'll probably be able to run tomorrow, and I'll post the link on my twitter.

I'm fuckin dead over here guys.
>>40636156
sure, if you want to spend an hour doing it.
>>40636191
that to.
>>
>>40636226

Two threads in a day ain't bad.

Well done QM. Any idea when the next thread will drop?
>>
>>40636226
1 am where you are
You're PST then?
Whereabouts?
>>
>>40636260
I live on the west coast of the USA, so it'll probably start about 11:am here. i'm too brain dead to handle time zones right now
>>
>>40636275

11am tomorrow?

Damn, you just made me a happy boy.

Sleep well.
>>
How've the threads been so far guys? enjoyable enough?
>>40636283
yeah I have no life for the next week or so.
>>
>>40636191
Honestly I want to do that after the rescue but was worried we won't get the chance after.

Should we do any planning so we can start next thread with us heading out the gate?
>>
>>40636291
Pretty fun, got my 2 highest rolls ever on this quest so I'm happy. Can't wait till next thread, thanks for running!
>>
>>40636291

Loving it so far.

The nat 20 turning our bro into some sort of abyssal-infused lesser demon was fucking dope.

>>40636321

Maybe we should have the kid play nurse for Ergon, give him water and shit and walk along the horse as he rides.
>>
>>40636291
I'm enjoying it, hopefully you control it enough that we don't do retarded shit just because we're sooooo evil now.
>>
>>40636348
honestly it's kind of a mix of "lesser demon" and
"new form of intelligent quasi-undead that nobody has ever heard of before"
>>
>>40636353

Actually, voices of reason fighting crazy dark, violent urges in his head seems like it's in character. I say keep the banter going.
>>
>>40636291
>no life for the next week or so
Hey! Same here!

>>40636275
>Live on the west coast of the USA
Hey... Same here...

...
Are you me?
>>
>>40636348
again, you don't want to know what a nat 1 would've been
>>40636388
depends, do you have a jewfro of curly brown hair?
>>
>>40636400

I think using that point to utterly derail the quest and have the PC immediately repent and go back to his goddess would have been a funny way of dealing with it.
>>
>>40636348
I like the kid so i don't want to get him killed off, I mean almost 100 dead initiates and they only managed to kill maybe 2 or 3 while our friends killed the bulk of them, hes probably more of a liability than anything else, I doubt there will be anyone alive nearby for 50 miles since they likely sacked a village earlier.

Alternatively this might be a good time for him to get hardened and bloodied.

Also will we be passing by our home village on the way?
>>
>>40636413
I think the ring had something to do with us unable to communicate with our now ex-goddess.
>>
>>40636430
>Also will we be passing by our home village on the way?

Yeah but I think QM mentioned that everyone there is dead and their houses are on fire.

We either ditch the kid (kid probably dies) or take him with us (kid still probably dies). All depends on whether you want an on or off-screen death for him, unless Eclipse grants him enough plot armor to make a true paladin jealous.
>>
>>40636430
you can choose to avoid it if you don't want deal with seeing the aftermath. it'll add some time to the trip though.
>>
>>40636445
Well i figured if we play it smart, we won't have to risk him at all, hence why we should leave him at the temple, unless we know its not safe. I doubt the bandits are gonna return after 1 day and attack again, or some other unknown.
>>
>>40636473

I think it'll pan out either one of two ways:

We leave the kid, get to the bandit fight quicker, kid probably disappears.

We take the kid, get to the bandit fight a bit slower, and hopefully he doesn't lose an arm in the scuffle.
>>
I'm honestly surprised nobody's shadowrunning about the ??? on the list of evil gods
>>
>>40636400
...yeah, actually.
>>
>>40636508
welp. nice to meet you me.
>>
>>40636508
Hell, one of my friends has taken to calling me "Jewfro"
>>
>>40636503

We'll meet it when we meet it, I guess.

Immediate goal (in my opinion) should be to establish a foothold in this world, gather wild amounts of personal power in addition to a massive martial force, and then find a way to ascend to the god's realm. Then, see which one we think we can knock out the easiest, we make a move and see if we can claim its domain.
>>
>>40636517
So... You wanna hang out sometime?
You got a mirror?
>>
>>40636522
well the easiest to get rid of would probably be
>Tellet: God of sloth and ignorance
really he's only still around because non of the others can be bothered to get rid of him. rather ironic really.
>>
>>40636542
I honestly feel that anybody wiling enough to work towards taking that domain couldn't possibly hold it.

If anything, it's the safest possible position.

Oh, and also: Goooo Tellet on the mountain...
>>
>>40636497
Hmm, now that i think about it, if we take the kid, and have him take the horses away after we get to our drop off point he would be relatively safe aside from wild animals.

>>40636542
Did we count how many bandit corpses are on the ground?

>>40636529
Hanging out with your doppelganger.. unless your Scott Pilgrim.
>>
>>40636575
you have not.
>>
>>40636582
Any way we can squeeze that in? maybe have the boy do a quick run through the halls, rooms and storerooms? I get the feeling if we miss one guy, he'll sneak up on the boy and gut him.
Actually we best do it ourselves, there could still be lingering bandits, after all there were 2 left behind that we killed still searching most likely for the elders since they'd know more about hidden loot?
>>
>>40636625
I'm not a completely evil bastard you know
>>
>>40636658
That is mildly reassuring, but Its the dice I worry about, I assume the kid gets a dice roll on some events. Anyways g'night.
>>
>>40636168

Plato was an elitist douche, you know. His Republic basically was "people I like are privileged, the ones I don't aren't here"
