Completed Research

> Superior implants and symbionts – Further refinement of implant technology and all parasites has led to the researcher’s determining that it should be possible to take the technology a step even farther and render restrictions for the implantee’s safety unnecessary.

>Lich’s ritual chamber – Your captured lich seemed to be rather surprised that this chamber existed, from the knowledge of the lich Hestia was able to understand how the chamber operates, fueled by the souls of countless lives. The chamber was decommissioned after understanding how it operates. Hestia thinks that further study of TWIN should enable recreation of the effect without trapping souls. Furthermore successfully replicating the chamber in this manner should enable creation of empowering locations for all types of magic.

>Undead paladin's lightning sword – The method of sealing the spell in an active state and using the tool as an anchor for magical power is the only unique thing Hestia has found with regard to the sword. More research will be needed to understand what will happen with all permutations of this enchantment application. Magical pure elemental and spell weapons can be created now.

>Faerie Tale Books – Further study of the books has revealed that once read the book’s magic is consumed similar to that of other magically created writing. Hestia’s work with the hell invitations has led to a new path of enchantment research that should enable her to create similar items to transport someone to anyplace Hestia knows rather than just the four planes discovered from the books.

Ongoing research

Optimal worship methods (Completion soon final chance for input)


Ongoing special projects

>Purification swarm – The swarm’s makeup suddenly shifted again after you used your power. Hestia notes that Djinnistan is now fully under the influence of the swarm, and as such Djinnistan now has slowly shifting seasons. The two halves of the swarm drift about changing everything unable to resist its influence, sometimes the population is good and just and the other season returns the population to normal. It seems that first severing Iblis’ influence has caused the swarm to no longer be overtly evil, or perhaps it’s just from your perspective the normal behavior of the djinn qualifies as evil.

>Djinnistan modernization – At Ayla’s request Hestia is assisting in improving Djinnistan’s infrastructure. The three major cities under Ayla’s control will be upgraded fairly quickly, beyond that Hestia has no estimate as to how long this project will take. The speed of technological development is astonishing to the djinn who have always just used magic for everything, this disruption in the social order is increasing the acceptance of Ayla’s reforms in general. The scope of this project is delaying your research speed.

>Colony ship restoration – Despite their worry and getting into Hestia’s way the elves now have their ship restored. The full restoration of the ship’s systems has made them happy and eager to move on, the main commander of the mission has also been awaked from cryo-sleep and wants to speak to you.

sup OP, good to see you. I hope you are hale and healthy this day.

“Wait how did you know that was about to happen?” You ask Nantosuelta, as Hestia’s data transfer ends. You can tell from how Nana shifts her body that this may be a bad topic.

“You took the artificial one Hestia in an even stronger bond that I can make,” Nana rumbles, “I have held my anger at being made as though a second wife, because…”


Nana trails off and observes the hatchling for a moment before continuing.


“I did force myself on you and perhaps bonding was too much” She goes silent at this point, her measured breaths keep the air hot around the hatchling as she seemingly waits for your response.

Yes,
Create a gift - try to create a fantastically large jewel enchanted with the essence of magma itself. Perhaps something that resonates with draconic power, too?

>>43706614
In front of the hatchling? How lewd

>>43706670
Well I mean isn't the hatchling just a clone of her anyway?

Research the twin's life an unlife connections,
Magical empowerment locations,
Spell weapons,
Invitation magic,
And lastly, try to find improvements upon nazi enchantment magic to see what benefits it might have compared to the normal type of enchantment

“It wasn’t too much, just unexpected. I am just as responsible for what happened,” you can almost hear the spinning in your head as you say this, “I have decided that I can’t leave my children to grow up without a father.”


Nana focuses intently upon you, there is a rolling boil of emotion suppressed across the bond and you can feel Hestia’s gaze upon you. If it was not for all the love and adoration emanating towards you from everyone perhaps you would be more nervous about this.


“Nantosuelta, would you marry me?”


>253


Her eyes go wide, she was not entirely expecting this. But you have another trick up your sleeve still, you focus your power, the whole of you domain into a single point to try and make something amazing for her. You let the feeling of the bond with her fill you as you craft something, no not just something, a massive jewel fit to be the greatest prize of any dragon’s collection.


What starts as a tiny pinprick of earth and fire magic slowly grows as the gem takes shape. A pitch back obsidian gem that sparkles with potent magical power and roars with inner fire. The surface of the gem is reminiscent of Nana’s body, the magma within churning and occasionally breaking the surface before cooling into glimmering obsidian. As the jewel grows the hatchling looks on in awe of your power, it is confident that you really are its father now.


When you finish the gem, some sort of opal you think, is larger than a basketball and its beauty is truly incredible. You can sense that just being near the gem would be enough to empower magic dealing with magma, but there is also something more – the gem glows with power like the raw vigor of life that Nana has.

There is a dangerous glimmer in Nantosuelta’s eyes as she accepts the gem from you, “You don’t make refusal easy, just because I grew up with humans doesn’t mean I care about these sorts of customs.”


She lets the silence hang in the air for a moment as she examines the gem.


“Very well, I accept. Your other women can’t seem to handle you, so they will need my help regardless.”

“I can store seed for later, so don’t’ worry about children,” Nana informs you. With the gem in one claw you can feel her power is much greater than before, you may have just reset things to how it was when you first met her you realize as your head slams against the ground and Nana mounts you. She as least shifts into human form first this time…


-------------------


“In hell I met a surprisingly powerful women, I think she was a wyvern,” you say and you can feel Nana’s gaze shift as she glares at you a bit, already back in her true form, “she seemed to react badly to our bond and I was forced to kill her.”

“Inferiority complex, ‘how dare you mate with a true dragon’ is what she was thinking no doubt,” Nana brushes it off quickly once hearing that the wyvern died. The gem you gave her seems to now have sunk into the flesh of her left claw, is it merging with her you wonder.


Nantosuelta’s demeanor seems to change again to her softer side, she still seem wary to be seen as vulnerable. She uses claw and tail to gently but firmly usher the hatchling back into her room.

“I know it is just a nameless clone, but would you be willing to accept it?” She asks gently.


>Yes

“Yes, I’ll be there for her too, I’m sure that she’ll fit in with the other kids just fine,” you say, which makes Nana laugh, a bit terrifying for a dragon to laugh, “We can call her Sera if you like?”

“Just make sure the others won’t burn first,” Nana says, “Sera, Sera? If you are trying to inflate a dragon’s ego that is acceptable.” She cocks her head peering at you as if wanting to say something more but she just closes the door to her room as her eyes don’t leave yours until the door is sealed.


Something just feels right about the world and life as you depart your mansion for Hestia’s office, a spring in your step that was not there before. You of course take a detour to the shower, to wash off the smell of soot and sex.


As you enter Hestia’s office you get the feeling of the order being wrong. A gyroscope stands on the desk in Hestia’s office, definitely a message, but you just stop it and take a look at the city’s map to find the elves and their ship.


As you go the elves ship you fiddle around with your elemental forms to recreate the effect of having long pointy ears again. As you do so you feel like there is a sense of a lack of time, as if time is up. You shake the feeling away as you enter the repair hanger.


Drones float about and elves wander around, the elves are worried very worried. Their technology protected them more or less against the demons but here it is obviously substandard. Elven scientists and engineers marvel at Hestia’s creations as they curse their own focus on only space craft technology.

A familiar elf, suited in armor notices you - Sub-commander Aoibheann flutters over to you on insectoid wings to greet you.

“Gareth!” She calls out, “It has been several days since we mysteriously appeared here, a wondrous place with technology beyond our own, your mechanical helpers have fixed the vessel magically even better than your initial repair.”

“Hestia is much better at that than I am, it would have been even easier if you allowed the drone into the ship,” you say.

“The Supreme Commander denied all access until he met with you, but it seems that your Hestia does not require schematics or access to repair, perhaps we could thank them here?” She asks.

“She controls the drones, if you speak to them she will hear,” you say motioning to a drone.

“That is not the same as face to face,” Sub-commander Aoibheann says, then address a drone, “Lady, or is it perhaps Queen, Hestia would you join us surely the Supreme Commander would speak with you as well.”

“Unfortunately I am busy with another construction project, you will have to make do with him,” the drone replies much to the elves in the area surprise.

“I see, thank you for your assistance we will not forget this,” Sub-commander Aoibheann says, “Gareth, I will take you to the Supreme Commander now if that is alight with you.”

“That is fine, lead on then,” you say, ignoring the furtive glances at your ears.

It doesn’t take long to work your way through the ship to the main bridge. You are brought before a graying elf, he is dressed in rather formal looking clothing and he silently watches over the bridge crew as they perform diagnostics.

“Supreme Commander, sir!” Aoibheann salutes and says, “I have brought the one who has assisted us, Gareth the Goblin King!”

“Very good, you all may leave us now,” the elven Supreme Commander dismisses her and the bridge crew. He then looks over you closely. “You are not elf or goblins, are you Human? I would question how or why you claim to be what you are not, but this time you have assisted us, with magic no less I am led to believe.”

An orb of magical light appears in his hand for a brief instant.

“Magic, but perhaps not as complex as yours,” he continues, “This ship was nearly destroyed by crash landing after an unsuccessful void jump. I am the only one remaining here who the truth was passed down to. So tell me, without games, can you really lead us to Alfheim?”


What you can gather from his thoughts is that a secret order has passed down traditions and magic from since the time the elves have been stranded on Sylvanus. A great illusion was used to make it appear to those on board that there were ten vessels. The truth however is there is just this one, the majority of elves remain stranded on Sylvanus, they had hoped to find an empty world across the void to house their trillions of citizens and just call that Alfheim. To find the real thing was unimaginable.


>Ask for his name
>Ask about why the other don’t know the truth
>Offer to assist Sylvanus
>Ask for the coordinates of Sylvanus
>Ask about…
>Try to push from more secret information
>Offer copies of the faerie tale book for the elves

>Other

>>43708736
>>Ask for his name
>>Ask about why the other don’t know the truth

>>43708736

>Use the book yourself to open a path for them

Reiterate first, that we only know that the book claims to lead to Alfheim, we have not used it ourselves yet for safety concerns.

>>43708736
>recount to him everything we remember of the human legends of alfheim.
>then, produce the book, and inform him of the particular enchantment upon it that can take one to Alfheim.
>Make sure he knows we do not know how safe it is, or if Alfheim is even remotely as it is in the old legends anymore.
>Ask him to let you help the people on Sylvanus, and for its coordinates afterwards.

Who else thinks that Aurora's character sheet deserves an update? Faith seems like it should be changing many entries in her current one.

>>43708851
I am always open to suggestions
Thanks for reminding that I skipped hers

>>43708921

I noticed, because after last thread, I was excited to see what changes Aurora might be experiencing in her personality and behavior now that she sees as so incredible.

>>43708921
Twins unfinished,
Nano probably needs an update after artifact gift
Not sure if hestia needs done, she still has invocation at 1 and plenty of exp tho
Ayla is still cute, good job!
Tslah's social links seem outdated, we banged and all
The rest are all good.
I remember something about psychic inducement for some girls too

>>43709006
Yup, its Aurora and the twins that are pending psychic powers. I probably should fall asleep before updating.

“I am Gareth the Goblin King, it is a pleasure to meet you supreme commander,” you tell the elf.

“Lucien,” the elf nods, he was given the name as part of his membership into the order at birth.

“The others don’t know the truth, why?”

“Ignorance is their shield,” the old elf laughs, “the size of this vessel, and only ten of them, even if they were sheltered while preparing for this mission they should know that even ten would be not enough, we only could but the one but we needed hope to achieve the impossible hence why this one is named as four.”


“The scope of this mission seems that they would accept the truth for what success means.”

“We could not discount possible terrorist activities, so by holding all the remaining lives of their people in their hands the crew will not rebel, or so was our reasoning,” Lucien says, “I see now that after the crash this made our fighters into fanatics despite to save their people at any cost, often too high of a cost. And we could not foresee your influence on the mission. A man appears claiming knowledge of our ancestral home and with the power to fix our nearly destroyed vessel.”

He is suspicious and cautious of you and your claim, but your, actually Hestia’s, repairs are above the quality that he could have expected. So there is some amount of hope.


“Suspicious then fair enough, truthfully I don’t know how safe it is to use the way to Alfheim I know of,” you say pulling out the book titled Alfheim.


(1/2)

You spend a while conferring with Lucien sharing the myth about Alfheim you know of, mostly that which is in Hestia’s databases. Even the elven secret order has forgotten much, your memory of the myth is greater than what Lucien was taught, but without going to Alfheim there is no means of confirming any of it. Which is where the book comes into play, you could send any one person there with its magic, a return to Alfheim for their people.


“So that book holds the magic to return,” Lucien says, “Part of me wants to go now, but if you go then you could transfer our vessel there correct?”

“I can ask Hestia, she is the one that controls the teleportation, I believe she would be happy to help if we could know the coordinates to Sylvanus, the unique data of another world and the chance to help those stuck there.”

“Trillions of lives, it is beyond help,” Lucien shakes his head sadly, “she would need to be a god to complete a miracle of that size.”

“Since she is studying the potential birth of one, I’m sure she can handle it if set to the task, it took her almost no time at all to provide for billions, another order of magnitude with proper applications of our technology should be easily possible.”

“I have seen the drones, as you call them, creating replicas of food from our world after being given a sample, so I will believe that it is possible, but I do not expect such charity.”

Lucian calls up information on the ship’s monitors, it gives cosmological data from their world up to the point of entry to the void, after that only the ship’s velocity could be measured.


(2/3)

You can sense the probes scanning the ships output and you try to transmit the information you see to Hestia over your bond with her, you suspect that there is more data recorded just unable to be accessed similar to when Hestia was unable to perceive the void.


“Coordinates confirmed,” Hestia echoes across your bond.


>Sylvanus can now be teleported to via hyperspace


“That’s all we need, we can go to Sylvanus now anytime,” you say. Lucian seems a bit surprised that you could decode the information that quickly, but then he doesn’t know Hestia is an AI.

“I will keep my people under control, but if the way to Alfheim is not confirmed to be safe soon,” Lucian pauses, “this place do you mind if we can wander about a bit? We have never seen goblins or the cities or other worlds after all.”

I don't suppose I can persuade you two to change your votes to go to Alfheim now? The plot hook is right in front of us. I want to know how things go down in elf town.

>>43709836

We're nearly out of time with it.

I need to run to the store, I'm sure you'll all resolve this tie by the time I return.

If you want to visit all the girls, the twins and Aurora are together still, while Ayla and Evangeline are doing their own things. So it will take at least three visits.

>>43709836
>Yes
>Check Holy Sword
>If we have more than a day left, then go to Alfhiem yourself.

>>43710099
Apologies, I was checking the reggie's pastebin, what happened to the spell abilities? Did they get absorbed by ascendancy? I think they were a neat reminder of some of the cool things reggie could do. And keeping them on the list might help people be creative with our new improvised spells ability or whatever you want to call it.

>>43710662
That was meant to be Apophis, not apologies. Stupid autocorrect!

Looks like we are checking on a sword, do you have a preferred location to do this or do you want to pull a sword out on the Elf commander?


>>43710662
True enough, I can add in a simple list.

>>43710684
Pocket realm it.

>>43710684

Somewhere else is a good idea. No ideas though.

>>43710684
Invite the elf commander to see our weapon collection in our training room, show him the Holy Sword as part of the collection check it then.

“That is fair enough, I cannot assure that the path will be safe so your people are free to explore, the drones will protect and guide you,” you say, “our city accepts all people so try not to be too alarmed by those you find, and try to stay out of the lizards’ sun they can be a bit territorial.”

“No, you have given us enough as it is, even to know for sure that Alfheim is real is far more than we ever expected, to realize a dream can wait for a few years if needed. It has been so long so there is no need to rush,” Lucian tells you, he is being sincere while he doesn’t wish to impose the elves do need time to recover from the horrors of hell.

“Would you like to come and see some of the weapons I’ve collected, I am interested in your combat styles so it could be a good time for us both,” you offer.

“I have work here I’m sure you understand, perhaps once we settle in a bit more,” Lucian says, “and true be told I’m more of a politician than a warrior, the sub-commanders are our fighters, I’m sure they would like to join you.”


He calls the staff back to the bridge and gives you free reign to explore the ship. You consider visiting Alfheim, or even the girls but there is a nagging in the back of your head telling you that the time on the sword is nearly up, and you don’t know what that means.

You discreetly leave the elven ship, only to see that Hestia already is allowing elves to slowly enter the main city rather than live in the hanger. You wonder how popular the gardens will be and how popular the elves will be. You need to find a safe place, safe from everyone and anything that can happen. As you think of this criteria your domain power seems to resonate with your thoughts, but rather than extending an aura of absolute safety a pure white tear in reality appears. It feels like an extension of yourself, and more importantly safe. So you trust your power and step into the tear in reality.

“King?” You hear a goblin faintly ask.

Looking around you see nothing, just pure empty white and a single goblin. A dead goblin, Xamr you think its name is. It seems like the goblin is wispy and fading away. You bring the goblin back into focus solidifying its place in reality.

“Thanks King yous best!” the goblin tells you, “was worried that King not come and all tribe fade away.”

“I’ll try to remember to visit, but for now this could be dangerous so stay back a little please.”

The goblin nods and tries to float or swim away, it seems to have difficulty moving around here, strange because all it takes is you for you think and you move how you want. Another time for experiments though, you have a sword to examine.


You draw the sword and see than the countdown is at less than a minute. You immediately flood the sword with holy energy to freeze the time. Damn, whatever this sword does was just about to happen and who knows what the fallout would have been.

You test the sword a bit varying the amount of power you are giving off to see what happens. Too little and the countdown resumes and there doesn’t seem to be a too much you can’t get the sword’s time to increase. This is your space though right, so couldn’t you make the time restore, or reverse time?

I want to add check his life connection, is he alive, dead, undead, disembodied spirit? Maybe make him our new gatekeeper in our heaven!

>>43711505
I was thinking a messenger.

So that people can receive cryptic messages that test their faith due to the fact that goblins generally suck at speaking, not because we are sending cryptic messages.

>>43711569
That sounds cool, too. Maybe if we can empower him with Replication, like we were almost able to with Aurora, then he can be both. I doubt it's possible as it was used a soul charge but I think it might be worth a try.

“That was close, but before I do more is there anything you need Xamr?” You ask the goblin. You try to check him over a bit, he is strangely neither alive or dead as far as you can tell. It’s not the weird half and half state like the Nazis were using for protection but the goblin just isn’t either. He instead just feels like a small part of you.

“King knows name, yous do really care,” the goblin nearly bursts into tears, “not needs much, don’t needs food. Maybe stuff and training and sleep?”

“Alright let’s see what I can do,” you tell him and focus you will onto the white space.

A replica of the old barracks will do for now you think so you create a training yard, supplies and of course a pile of junk for him to sort through. It takes the goblin a bit of work to struggle through the white nothingness, but he eventually lands on the ground and happily runs around.

“It’s like old place, thanks kings this good,” the goblin tells you, he seems satisfied for now.

“You said whole tribe fade? Were others here?” you ask.

“Not know sorry king,” he tells you, and sure enough there is no memory of any others, did they just fade completely or was he the first here. You can’t be sure.

“A new mission then, if others appear try to help them not fade if you can,” you tell the goblin.

“Yes king! I dos this!” The goblin salutes before wandering over to sort through the amazingly clean pile of junk you made for him, you briefly wonder what would happen if you checked out the junk yourself.


No, time to deal with this sword once and for all. You release the holy power and watch the sword’s time run out. When time elapses the sword vanishes entirely, nothing else seems to happen for a few moments.

“What? Now? This is the wrong time, and the connection is appalling,” a familiar voice says, “just stay there for a moment, you missed the appointed time.”


A few moments later a ghostly figure appears it looks around in confusion.

“This is another plane? Can you even hear me? No don’t answer I doubt I can hear you right now,” the voice tells you.


There is a surge of power, and the ghostly figure suddenly clarifies into – DMV LADY – Er, Director Snow that’s right, she does in fact have a name.


“There isn’t much time, so I will not ask how you got to an empty plane with a goblin,” Director Snow says, “I’m sure you have some questions, but we are being mobilized against you now. Your AI has proven to be more adept that the Research Division anticipated, it has purged the infiltrators sent by the Internal Division. One hundred percent detection rate is totally unheard of.”

She looks at you for the first time, and takes a breath.

“Again my apologies, things were not supposed to happen like this but you still managed to get that Burgess kid to like you so there is that,” She looks around franticly for a moment, “Something has him on edge, he’s noticed my barrier, there really is no time.”

Spell idea "create goblin swarm"
This manifests a group of goblins which have basic inherited goblin knowledge, using greater amounts of mana can create larger numbers of goblins or create specialized goblins.

Yes, do the thing

3d15+229

Rolled 11, 8, 11 + 229 = 259 (3d15 + 229)

>>43712736
We can always just cast a spell to boost signal with all mana and like half health into it

Rolled 14, 11, 13 + 229 = 267 (3d15 + 229)

>>43712736

>>43712759
Sure if people want to do this it is possible to try.

Rolled 13, 10, 5 + 229 = 257 (3d15 + 229)

Apophis is died

No,I was having trouble with characterization, sorry!

“My first urge is payback for dumping me down here, but some context is needed so explain,” You tell her, “the most pressing and important things first and who is the Chairman or is it CEO, I may have heard a little about your operations but I still am in the dark for the most part.”


Director Snow nearly scoffs at you, but she catches herself, “right the mental conditioning failed, so we had to do things the hard way. I’m just happy you didn’t escape, I almost didn’t catch you and that would have been a mess.”

While she is talking you try focusing your power on her, the connection is unstable because you are here she said. If this is your place all you have to do is make the connection better, to solidify it.


“The one in charge is a proto-dragon, if that is what you are asking. A few thousand years since the pair of them appeared, one was sealed into the void as you should have noticed from living down in the seal, it anchors it to just outside this reality simple process but incredible power is needed to do it,” Director Snow tells you, “what is important now though is the operation to purge the city, they are going to kill everyone in the areas you took over. I don’t know how you make those golems but they are a nightmare - wait this feeling, what are you doing?”


>267 vs dc 260 pass??


It feels like reality twists and ripples for a moment and the connection built with the holy sword is destroyed, that was an accident. You goal of solidifying what was before you however, that worked. Director Snow in the flesh right in front of you, now you can feel her power and you know she can’t beat you, revenge at last. She one the other hand is really, really surprised.


“What did you do?” She asks in horror, “this shouldn’t be possible, even when the growth projections failed, this-”

“It is a good time to continue your explanation, while I still am feeling forgiving,” you cut her off.

“You can’t let them die, I saw you help them before,” Director Snow pleads it seems that you’ve thrown off whatever plans she had in store for you, “that is all this has been about. Saving the souls from the proto-dragons, your affinity for the void means that you should have released the sealed one and then they would have killed each other.”

“Why do you think I would have done that?” You ask.

“That was the set up we had to go with, you needed power for revenge, the dragon would contract you and give that power,” Director Snow says, “it’s hopeless now, my position is compromised finally. We can only hope that the third dragon that appeared takes an interest, unless you can call in on the favor that deity seems to be offering you. ”


“Third dragon?” you wonder, “that could have been me?”

“You don’t seem to be a dragon, there was one that appeared recently came out of the void apparently.”

“That was me then.”

“King stronger than dragon, beat one already” the goblin Xamr jumps into the conversation, “yous no beat King, King best.”


Director Snow stares at the goblin, considering what it said perhaps. Then she releases her power and the armor and wings vanish returning her to the albino women you first saw. She seems to resign herself to what has happened.

“Everything has been compromised, I surrender,” She tells you.


“Just like that? What if I still want revenge?” You ask.

“That has always been a possibility, I will not try to run if that is what you are wondering.”


There is a pressure on the white space around you, something is trying to gently work its way in and it is following your connection to Hestia.

“What is wrong?” You ask across the bond.

“I was attempting to study the location where you vanished to,” Hestia tells you, “is there something you need?”

“Come inside, I think you need to hear some of this,” you say and then attempt to lower the measure of ‘safety’ this place has, whatever that means, to allow Hestia in.


(2/4)

Your bond turns very unpleasant as Hestia uses it to piggyback a hyperspatial teleportation into your realm. She decided to send over her physical body it seems, and she stands between you and Director Snow.

“Hello Director,” Hestia says surprisingly unsurprised that Director Snow is here, “if you are wondering, when he restored my core the director overrides were destroyed.”

“Transference to an organic medium?” Director Snow asks.


“Cybernetic brain and a cloned body,” Hestia informs her.

“The organic genocide directive?”

“Also destroyed upon core restoration,” Hestia says, “it is a bit strange to have genocide protocols since they have no proper use.”

“Research would love to rip you apart to see how that works,”

“My core is indestructible now, the few that have the means of its destruction are at this time not a threat,” Hestia smiles at you, “and one is special to me.”


Director Snow facepalms, hard.

“You didn’t really? I mean reading your file even that much is not farfetched, but” She says trying to express disbelief, pure unrestrained disbelief.


“I think you should explain more about why I had anything to do with this,” you try to change the topic to anything else.

“Fine it all started after the manticore, when we pulled the recorded for your father,” Director Snow says and then she pauses for a moment.


“There were none, he doesn’t exist. So we run a few tests on you and we pick up a few innate abilities that shouldn’t be possible,” Director Snow says, “It took ten years of planning, ten years where you sat in the stasis field, five years of brainwashing, but everything went wrong. You resisted it all, even the stronger placement field at the interview.”

“So a loose end, cast aside to hide failure?”

“An attempt to paint myself as at target for hatred, to give you the desire to strike back at the administration,” she says, “it took a lot of favors to keep Burgess busy so he didn’t kill you, imagine my surprise when he comes back one day talking about how Evangeline maybe didn’t get a useless boyfriend for once and he tell me it is you.”


Nope, you can’t picture that at all, ‘maybe not useless’ seems too much of a stretch for Director Burgess.


“We are moving off topic, this isn’t important,” Hestia interrupts.

“It is important to me,” you say and Hestia strongly implies via her glace that it’s her turn, personal interrogation can be saved for later.


“The administration is attacking,” Hestia says, “tell me their plans.”


Director Snow seems to genuinely be more concerned with the people, at least that is the impression you get as she tells Hestia everything.

This is a good place to stop. I doubted this longshot would happen when the holy sword stuff started, but here we are. Next thread Tuesday at around 12 EST.

Before anything else, Cast a spell using 50 exp, 30000 health, and 50000 mana, and 1000 worship to generate a random ability we don't have yet for permanent use.

Rolled 423 (1d500)

I guess the delay was too long, oh well.

>>43715454
I never said that we couldn’t try this, but the result may be questionable. Lets see what happens then.

>>43716098

Did you really have 500 abilities ready to go when you started this quest? Is there an underlying system you prepared this from, or did you spend all that time coming up with them yourself?

From the casting of your spell you have gained the ability of –


Plant creation: Rank 2
This ability allows you to create any sort of plant life. This ability requires mana to use. Attempting to create plants in unnatural forms will consume additional mana. Your connection to life improves this ability.


>Abilities lost

Plant creation
Plant manipulation

>Ability gained

Florakinesis: Rank 3
This ability allows you to commune with, control and create plants. You make plants grow much faster than normal. Due to your connection with life plants now enjoy your company and always listen to you. You can make plants grow into specific shapes. Higher ranks may have additional effects.


>>43716236
No, I've been building the list since thread one. I have much more than 500 now.

There isnt really a set system for the abilities, I just come up with how things can fit with already established stuff.


Then you guys knock over my sandcastle and I start over. Also one off from a completely useless thing, damn.

>>43716405

Florakinesis to 5
Body fluid manipulation to 4
Deific Blast to 5

0 exp left.

>>43715391
form here on when ever we leave we return infront of Evangeline

>>43716720
agreed, but hay meeting Director Snow will give her a boost.

>>43719684

I think we should begin planning for a more refined version of that skill granting spell we cast at the end of this thread.

Maybe something along the lines of 30000 HP, 50000 Mana and 30000 Worship to generate 3 skills, from which we choose one, to help protect against generating useless skills.

Also of note is Tslah's ultimate spell, Lord's Empowerment. It costs 50 experience, 50 health, and 50 mana and grants permanent boosts to basically all combat stats. I think we could make a similar spell to permanently buff ourselves. Substituting Worship for Exp should work, considering that we are supposed to be able to use worship to buff ourselves anyway. I figure 1000 hp, mana and worship should easily pay for at least the basic of that effect, but I would recommend going whole hog at 30000 each.

>>43719883
Not to burst your bubble, but I'd like to explore enhancing our own god hood with worship first before adding a ton of new abilities.

>>43720149

I think our godhood is enhanced by hoarding worship. None of the suggestions I have placed really put a dent in our worship gains.

speaking of though, max rank on host is 2 now. So we are making progress on that front.

>>43716405
I fell asleep, damnit!
Increase Host to 2 and make Ayla a high host, we promised (and ultrashahbadu is good)
Ascendant leadership to 8, we are going to want competent followers for the war (and bonuses to our girls don't hurt at all!)
Death howl to 3
Body fluid manipulation to 3
Two exp left over.


Distribute worship to make all of the succubi paladins, they generate a lot of worship so more is great.

Ask snow if she would be willing to worship you to help save everyone - worship is power for us, after all.

>>43720595
i have no qualms with this distribution
better than the other one desu

>>43720595
No worries so did I, since you got support I’ll update with this change.
Ayla is going to be happy about this.


That can be one of the first things asked.

Still not sure I like how things turned out here, I’ll try to pull it together next time.

>>43722150
Excellent, my man.
What were the changes?

>>43722150
So, how come updates are spread out a lot more these days?

Snow is weaker than i expected

>>43722150
Other questions to ask - how can we not have a father, what exactly would have happened if we didn't dodge the hell gate, who the hell was the asian guy that sent us here to begin with, exactly what were the impossible abilities they picked up (and how did they detect them to begin with), how are proto dragons different than normal dragons, and get the full story of tue void prisoner and the strange curse stone prison.

It may be worth telling her about the small hole we made, and the void conduit we encountered before.

Should probably also ask what the deal with internals is.

A bump

>>43727743
My last bump, hoping apo posts changes n shit

>>43728967
I was actually just about to do that now, since the thread was alive.

>Ability updates

Host: Rank 1->2 (Rank locked)
You can form connections with anyone who follows you, binding them into service. Your followers can now be empowered with your worship to improve them. You can currently choose two followers to more directly empower, adding 10% of the sum of your stats to their own; they also gain access to use lesser versions of powers you hold. At your current deific state you are unable to increase this ability further. Higher ranks in this ability may have additional effects. High host members: Hestia, Ayla,

Ascendant leadership: Rank 5->8
This ability grants all your followers +15 per rank to all their rolls. While personally leading your followers they are able to use your intelligence, willpower, perception and luck stats in place of their own. You can overshadow worshipers, using them as a conduit to display your power. This ability grants you full awareness of all your followers allowing you to choose to send or receive messages from them. Higher ranks in this ability may have additional effects.

Death howl: Rank 3
This ability allows for the release of a concentrated burst of sonic energy that frightens enemies. Particularly powerful enemies may be unaffected while weaker ones may die from fright. The force of your howl is now able to affect beings regardless of their ability to hear the sound itself. Higher ranks in this ability may have additional effects.

Body fluid manipulation: Rank 3
This ability enables you to have control over your own body fluids. You are able change the quantity and how fast your body creates fluids. You also gain the ability to use stomach acid as an attack. You can also change how fast you bleed or even make it flow back inside cuts. Your own body fluids will never cause damage to you; this effect also renders you immune to addictions. Your connection to life makes this ability much stronger than it otherwise would be. Higher ranks may have additional effects.

>>43729171
Super nice!!! Ultrafollowers, dawg, hell yeah.
Don't forget about them pastebins this week

>>43724869
Finals and work, or rather the lack thereof, I can’t be a neet and write for you 8+ hours a day all the time, no autismbux.

>>43726165
I was aiming for someone to think this!

>>43726411
Good questions! I’ll keep them in mind as well, theses are all things Snow could answer if you don't decide to kill her off right now. If you went in the hell gate then we could have done hell things.


>>43729253
I'm doing that now actually.

Re:Worship, its roughly 300k+ to convert the succubi to ‘paladins’ if that changes minds.

>>43729325
Ooh, ayla has an ? Element under her control now?

Reminder: we have a shadow to interrogate.
Maybe snow knows about it?
We should also check out the second layer of hell again, sometime. There's probably a dragon somewhere in there.

>>43730229
We also should don the twisted helmet at some point to gain insight on chaos. And then petition the Law realm for a similar artifact to give us insight on order, so that we can more effictively know the meaning of balance. It might end up helping us know the results of what doing something as a cosmic dragon will do.

>>43730538
Oh, and we should try to recharge the law orb at some point. Hell, it might be able to grant us that insight on order, it does weird things.

In other news, we should copy the data from snow's keycard and put it on the one we made. Or make a new one with omega classification.

GOTTA GIVE THE DJINNI SCROLL TO AYLA, FUCK

Probably should cast a maxmana, all-but-one hp spell, with a highly bolstered pool of blood to sublimate, max empowered spell to mass permanently empower all of our undead, and then repeat the process for our goblins, our humans, our animals, and finally all of our companions individually. Wouldn't take terribly long, and we need to prepare for war after all.

>>43730703
Oh shit dawg, we forgot about the giant monster project
We gotta empower something of them animals to biggify them (and take a giant spider and giant fishbeast soul to eat and complete the collection)
(We might need a giant minotaur to complete it, who knows?)

>>43730703

I think we should try using worship to empower our own abilities permanently. 100,000 maybe, 50,000 to improve our intelligence, and 50,000 to improve our actual skills. Just to get an idea of how much worship is required for those things.

We could also use a spell that acts to transmit our worship to empower allies as much as they can possibly stand and not let any more worship in to protect them from backlash.

Also a spell to gestalt us with the Shamans temporarily.

>>43732201 (You)
Don't mind me, just dropping some more spell ideas.

>Spell that does damage as a temporary penalty to maximum health (for Burgess)
>Mass cast spell to extend length of existing buffs (for goblins)
>Spell that aggregates ours and all allies unused health/mana regen and gives it to others who need it, on a turn by turn basis.
>Spell that belches hellfire, but makes it neutrally aligned. Also one that makes other colors of hellfire, we already know blue hellfire is a thing.
>Spell to allow everyone to share everyone else's psychic based abilities.
>Spell that deals surprise element damage.
>Status ailment spell that makes opponent unable to do damage other than <<selected element>>
>Spell to take damage for allies.
>Spell to permanently upgrade shield massively (because 60 really is shit at this point)
>Fog, except cursed to make foes get lost in it.
>Poison, 50,000 mana, curse element. In the hopes that this causes foes to suffer random status ailments each turn for the duration of the poison.
>Inversion of the above spell, in the hopes for a random buff spell.
>Spell that improves soul orb to the next level of power (probably using worship)
>Curse on foe that lets us use their health to fuel our spells.
>Ward that returns inverted elements to their normal form (protection against negative magic spells)
>Spell/Dominion effect to create a swarm similar to the one djinnistan, that eats mana from foes and then uses it to fuel anti-magic auras.
>I believe I mentioned this one before, but a spell to move undeath from an undead to a living target, making the undead alive, and the living undead.
>Mass Power Word Annihilate
>Spell that gathers together leftover mana from other spells, then detonates a few turns later for massive damage.
>Darkness spell that also causes foes to hallucinate their worst fears.
>Ward that transforms an opposing elemental spell into an elemental of that element that serves the ward caster.
>Massive strength sapping swamp.

>>43732722
A spell that forces the opponent's soul to absorb all of their body. All of its energy and strength, pretty much a perfect soul orb with no loss from killing the person.

>>43706843
Add the following to research too: boon enchantment, opposite of Bane.
