Gyrnax opens his mouth to speak, but your meat suit wraps both hands around his slender throat, knocking him to the ground.
"Time to put an end to your evil, Gyrnax!" you can hear the voice rattling around and vibrating in your throat. It's very uncomfortable.
"Wait...you cannot do this! I command you to stop at once!" Gyrnax says, his voice growing desperate as he looks into the eyes in your sockets.
No, that's not right.
He's looking past the eyes in your sockets. He's looking at you. He's talking to you.
"Do something, you...miserable spirit," he spits. "Without me, you're....." he coughs and begins choking.
"Shut up and die!" your throat rasps.

The barbarian's face furrows with concern. Slowly, his trembling hands release themselves from around the necromancer's throat. The necromancer coughs a bit more, but the cough fades into a thin wiry laugh. The barbarian begins to scream as his flesh begins to wriggle and contort, bulging and writhing in unnatural ways. The sound echoes across your bones, like nails on a chalkboard. You redouble your efforts.
The barbarian's arms flop uselessly to his sides, wrinkled and bleeding, as his arm bones slowly extract themselves from his arms like the sleeves of a shirt. There is a wet, slurping sound, like a condom full of raw hamburger being forcibly emptied. Several points of pressure express themselves upon the barbarian's throat, and his arms jiggle helplessly as the white needles of your fingerbones punctures through and force a gap open in the throat. There is an impressive shower of gore as you force your arms all the way through and begin clawing your ribs free, handfuls of flesh at a time. Your spine arcs away from the limp, raglike torso and arms. Only the legs continue to kick as the eyes roll helplessly in their sockets. Eventually you are able to tear your legbones free of the barbarian's overworked thighs. This was clearly not a man who skipped leg day. You can still feel the muscles of the face tensing and jerking in agony when you begin to peel off the skin. You save the eyes for last, your vision clearing without the jellylike obstructions in your sockets.
Finally you stand before Gyrnax, bones slick with blood and bits of viscera that clung to the bone when it tore from the muscle. The necromancer smiles. Nearby, the remaining skeleton has gotten the best of the elf and is smashing her skull in with its own severed armbone. The red-robed figure, whose only visible feature is a long, steel-gray beard, readies themselves.

"I've got a BONE to pick with you!" your real spoken voice emanates forth from your skull, and tiny pinpoints of red light gleam rhythmically from deep in your eye sockets when you speak. Your voice sounds familiar and natural to you, but you're sure you've never spoken before (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWqDrMb5M8M vocal samples, previously recorded)
Your hands scrabble at the wizard's papery skin, tearing away great gobs of his body. He stumbles out of your grasp, leaving behind a piece of his cheek, and tries to run, but Gyrnax fires a beam of cold blue light which punctures him through the back, and he topples into a sizzling pile in the corner. The material of his robes catches on fire and he is soon smoldering merrily.

>MURDER! +150 SPOOKY POINTS
You and the other skeleton regard one another quietly. He stands lax, his severed arm in his hand.
"Guess we boned him good, huh?" you offer. He clatters his jaw absently but does not otherwise respond.

"Boss! We heard noises!" Three small green humaoids with enormous ears and moist-rubbery-looking skin tumble into the room, outsized spears in hand and lopsided human-sized helms partially obscuring their vision.
"Of course you did you idiots!" Gyrnax shouts. "Look around you! Those travelling fuck ups from the road must have tracked you back here! I had to rely on these mindless idiots to clean up your mess!" He jerks his thumb in your direction.

>Gyrnax does not seem to realize that you are more than a mindless drone skeleton.

And spooky.

You begin jauntily bobbing up and down at the knees to an unseen beat. The other skeleton reflexively follows suit, although his heart doesn't really seem in it.
"What is this now?" Gyrnax says, slightly incredulous.
You begin waving your arms back and forth as you bob your way over to the necromancer. One eyebrow arches at you as you continue dancing. Behind you, the other skeleton begins lazily playing his ribcage in a slow salsa rhythm.
One of your arms reaches out and grabs one of the goblins by his thin green wrist. You wrench the creature off the ground and attack Gyrnax, using it as a makeshift club

The goblin's skull collides with Gyrnax's head, the helmet falling off and rolling into some dusty corner of the cave. The necromancer stumbles back, shaking his head and spitting out a tooth. The other two goblins begin warbling and shrieking in panic.
"What the fuck is this?" Gyrnax spits. "You miserable pile of keratin!"

"Looks like you're BONED now, numbSKULL!" you shout.
You whip the goblin back and slam it into Gyrnax again. The goblin's nose breaks, showering black foul-smelling blood all over your already-wet bones and the necromancer's robes. Gyrnax lets out a soft choking sound and then lies still, blood pooling around him slowly. The goblin stops struggling and goes limp, dangling from your hand and dragging along the ground.

The two surviving goblins compose themselves too late to participate in the battle, but manage to prostrate themselves before you, their spears clattering to the ground. In the background, the other skeleton continues beating out steel-drumlike beats.
"Old boss mean. Old boss gone now."
"New boss spooky!"
"No, uh...no bones about it!"
They wince at you hopefully.

Looking around the cave, you eventually discover Gyrnax's spellbook, close to the altars with the crystal formations. You open it up, and are disappointed to discover that YOU CANNOT READ MAGIC, YOU 7 INT ILLITERATE FUCCBOI. You wonder if you can even read Common.
>SPARE
"Guess I just don't have the GUTS to kill you," you say to the goblins. "But seeeeerve me well, lest you end up like, uh..."
"Me Pirk."
"Me Nirk!"
"He, uh...he Mirk"
"Lest you end up like Mirk here!"
The goblins nod eagerly.
"Now what the hell is going on here?"
"Boss, that is, Old Boss, he stole-"
"Had us steal!"
"-Had US steal the mayor's three daughters. They're back there in the cave."
"Mayor, he hired a party of adventurers to get the girls back."
"We tried to stop them on the road, but we had to run and-"
"-We retreat, tactically. Guess they followed us here."
"What's all this?" You gesture to the crystals and the larger skeleton laid out between them.
"Boss said he was going to conjugate-"
"Conjure."
"Conjure up something..."
"Boss said he wanted minions that were, um..."
"Akchewally Com Poe Tent!"
The goblins smile and nod at one another, then glance at you vacantly. In the background, the skeleton sways back and forth slowly as its spooky tunes echo through the cave chamber.

>OTHER SKELETON
You approach the other skeleton, who has been xylophoning one handed since you initiated the battle dance.
"Alright, good stuff, that's enough," you say.
The skeleton stops playing and lets his severed arm fall to the ground beside him.
"So, did you work here long before I showed up, or-?"
The skeleton's mouth slowly falls open and a long slow hiss escapes from his empty jaw.
"Alllright then," you say. "As you were."
The skeleton slowly picks up his arm and resumes playing his ribcage.
>EXPLORE CAVES before RETURNING DAUGHTERS
You follow one exit hallway from the room, finding that it eventually proceeds upwards to the ground level, the cave mouth poorly-hidden from view with some hastily-transplanted shrubbery. Deeper into the cave, you find a tiny kitchen area and dining nook, which doubled as a living area for the goblins. You also find Gyrnax's study, which is filled with more magical books you can't read, although you note that many of the shelves are empty. (Wisdom check: 20!) It looks like maybe Gyrnax was not very well-established here and was looking to either ransom the mayor's daughters for some seed money or maybe sacrifice them to some abyssal entity. Still deeper in the cave, you find the necromancer's sleeping quarters, where three young female humans are tied up, sleeping fitfully, and a storage room. The storage room contains some dry grains, barrels of ale and water, and a large crate labeled SARNAX THE MAGINIFICENT'S QUANTUM TREASURE CUBES ("Because a Wizard concerns himself not with if something 'should' be done!")
Prying open the crate, you can see a golden cube inside, about 8 inches on each side. Each of the cube's six faces has a small latch and is illustrated with a picture and a short description. You realize with relief that you can indeed read Common.

>>44943436
Cloak of Charisma! If we want to be spooky we need that CHA for intimidate.
And diplomacy.

>Cloak of Charisma, by a hair

You press inward on the cube, and it somewhat disconcertingly begins folding rapidly inwards on itself. With an actually-kind-of-cute slurping -pop- it vanishes, leaving you with a finely-made cloak of deep purple, with gold trimming and patches and filigree of forest green. You throw it around your skeletal shoulders, fastening it with the included brooch.
>Cha +2 (13 total, +1 bonus to Cha-related skills and challenges)

>RETURN MAYOR'S DAUGHTERS
You swagger into Gyrnax's chambers, letting the door slam behind you, which awakens the sleeping maidens. The mayor's three daughters are all very fair, one blond, one raven-haired, and one redheaded, in flagrant mockery of basic genetics. They cower away from you as you enter, you you hold up a hand to silence them, which causes them to begin screaming in panic.
"Easy now girls. We're going to have to give your father a STERNum talking to for letting you get kidnapped."
Your jaw hangs open in an expectant grin, which closely resembles the face you make before you sink your teeth into someone's throat. One of the girls exhales sharply.
"Tough crowd..." you murmur to yourself. "Look, the sausage in the black robes is deceased. As, ehhh, as are the adventurers your father sent to rescue you. But hey, I'm here, so everything's great! Everything's fine! I'm going to return you to the mayor."
The girls stare at you, speechless. Eventually, the redhead meekly asks you to untie her.

Love you /tg/

You untie the three girls, which seems to calm them down a bit, although bits of the necromancer and the person you used to live inside are still all over your bones.
"Anybody hungry?" you offer. The girls all nod.
"Good, I got some spare ribs." You lean in, clacking your jaw at them. Slowly the girls begin laughing, at first nervously, but then genuinely. A lot of their stress and fear seems to melt away, and the redhead laughs until she starts crying.
"No, but really, we're starving," the blond says.
You manage to find some bread for them in the storeroom, and after they've had a bit to eat, you set out towards the town. You leave Pirk and Nirk to work on cleaning up all the gore strewn everywhere and better concealing the cave entrance. As you're leaving, you can still hear the faint echoing of Xylobones plunking away in the ritual chamber.
You pass the time on the road with idle chat. The mayor's three daughters are Juniper (Raven), Lavendar (Redhead), and Forsythia (Blond). Their father, Ignus, has been the mayor of the small village of Belford for as long as they can remember. The village exists primary on subsistence farming, and the economy gets a bit of a boost by it's proximity to the Bel River. Most of the village is sprawling fields and cottages but there is a small walled center of mercantile trade and governance, which you are approaching as the sun nears midday. Two lazy-looking guards as standing near the gate, but they perk up quickly as you approach.

>Circumstantial modifiers are high enough that you automatically pass this Diplomacy
The guards are NOT pleased to see a skeleton in a swag ass cape approaching with the merchant's three daughters, but you and the girls are able to defuse the situation pretty easily, if only because it doesn't occur to the guards that anything could control the girl's minds. You are lead through the town center to the Mayor's building, a small annex attached to the local smithy. It seems Ignus was a smith in his youth and only turned to politics after turning the forge over to his son Ferrus.
Ignus is a stocky man, but fills every inch of his space with muscle and gristle. His hands and arms are crisscrossed with scars and callouses. He jumps to his feet when you and his daughters enter.
"What is the meaning of this?" He bellows. "Guards! Why hasn't this abomination been smashed to powder?!"
The guards and the mayor's daughters all drown each other out trying to explain. Eventually you step towards the mayor, swooshing your cape loudly. The room falls into silence, all eyes on your impassive skelal face.
"The name's Bones," you say, thinking quickly. Names are a think people have, right? "Billy Bones. Mr. Bones will do fine."
"Well, Mr. Bones," the mayor spits out the name like it's spoiled food. "Explain yourself."

"Easy there, fleshbags," you say. "I'm not the one who rib-caged your daughters. In fact, I saved them!"
The mayor looks unmoved.
"Honest! I was just delivering these colorful females back to their home. Seems they didn't find my jokes very humerus."
"It's true Daddy!" Juniper says. "Gyrnax must have made him wrong or something. A traitor skeleton."
The mayor's eyes keep darting back and forth between you and his daughters.
"What about the adventurers who went out to rescue them?"
"Unfortunately my willpower was mustered just a bit too late to save them, I'm afraid," you say, grinning sheepishly, which involves nothing at all changing about your facial expression. "But don't get out of joint! heh heh...they were appropriately avenged."
The mayor regards the situation for several more silent seconds.
"Fine," he says at last. "Mr....Bones...you will receive the reward initially promised to the late party of adventurers. 200 gold pieces, and a sword forged by my son Ferrus." The daughters all clap giddily. "But I don't want you sticking around town and terrorizing my townsfolk, you've probably caused enough shat pants already. At dark I want you out of here."

I intend to continue utilizing my creator's dwelling for my own living and working quarters, so I need to trouble your good townspeople often."
"Shit, if it saves me 200 gold, that's just fine." The mayor says. "But the very first time someone even complains that you're spooking them out, I'm going to run you out of town and have my boys smash you apart."

You can feel the dark powers tethering you to this world increasing. A great heroism has awakened within you. You are now a Level 1 character. But what class will you pursue?

>FIGHTER. Melee combat shall be your specialty. Str and Con are key stats. A mixture of brute force and tactical maneuvers.
>BARBARIAN. Str to the exclusion of all else. You gain the ability to temporarily increase your strength by entering into murderous Rages. Your original meatsuit was a Barbarian.
>BARD. You focus on Charisma, but Dex and Int play a role as well. A jack-of-all trades class that gives you access to minor magics and combat skills
>CLERIC. You will choose a deity to worship in an attempt to curry divine favor and be granted magical powers. Wis is key skill.
>PALADIN. Similar to a cleric, but trading some of your magical power for melee training. Following the path of a Paladin requires strict adherance to a moral code.
>ROGUE. Another jack-of-all trades class but with combat maneuvers and additional skills rather than the Bard's rudimentary magic. Dex/Cha are key skills
>SORCERER. You will pursue your innate magical nature and gain the ability to cast magical spells, although your talents are more based on innate talent than a wizard's studious magical learnings.

Sorcerers cast off Charisma, right? If so that's my vote. I was thinking bard then remembered we already have Xylobones in our party, so it's covered.

"I wonder, Mr. Mayor, if I might entreat one of your fair daughters to show me around the town before I depart for the evening? Lavendar?"
Lavendar's face brightens up, but the Mayor looks displeased. He hems and haws for several seconds about propriety before finally acquiescing, demanding that you stay on your best behavior.
"Cross my cranium and hope to crack!" you assure him.
"Oh, Mr. Mayor? I just wanted to let you know," you add, stopping at the door and turning to show him your grin. "There's a skeleton hiding inside you right now. Or is it trapped?" You leave him to ponder this before he can respond.
Belford exists between two larger river towns, so it frequently gets passed over by long-range traders. It exists, as its name suggests, at an old fording of the river Bel, but the road is not so widely traveled these days. Still, the town attracts enough trade to get by, as well as some money from adventuresome treasure hunters traveling to the nearby cave systems. Lavendar cheerfully points out where everything has stood since her childhood. She seems to know and care little for far off places, and the townspeople seem to love her and the Mayor dearly. Word seems to have spread in advance of your coming, so while nearly everyone stops to whisper to the closest person as you pass, few people are outright terrified by your presence.
"What's over there?" you ask her, gesturing to a stand of trees beyond the town's walls.
"Oh, that's Sarnax's Forest. Everyone pretty much stays away from Sarnax, he's...maybe dangerous isn't the right word. He mostly stays in his tower in the center there, doing his experiments. We're lucky it's a forest right now, at least. It was huge mushrooms for at two months last year, and once for nearly a week it was," she shudders before forcing it out, "a skinyard, bloodfilled fruit of flesh being grown on thick thorny vines." She shakes the memory out of her head, chuckling to reassure herself that they're just trees now.

>Continued

Eventually the two of you make your way to The Carp's Den, the town's local watering hole. Lavendar orders herself dandelion tea, and you order a tall glass of cow's milk, which you proceed to pour vigorous down your spine through your face, dampening the packed earth floor below you. The barkeep, a truly ridiculously fat man named Garth, has heard that you refused the mayor's gold (that is, the taxpayer's gold) and declares that you may drink for free, although not everyone in the bar is quite so welcoming. This seems to be the place where people stop if they're traveling through Belford on their way overland or upriver, and there are a fair share of people that Lavendar does not recognize. She orders some dinner, although you restrict yourself to a second glass of milk.
"So," she says while you're waiting for her food. "That is...you really can't remember anything about, you know, where you came from?"

"The first thing i remember was a man that looked like a barbarian get torn limb from limb by the evil black robed meat sausage's power, then he attacked the old man with a similar power but the man was still alive as i got closer to see if he was hurt. As soon as i had gotten there the the old man was struck down... As I turned to look at the evil sausage that struck the old man down, I decided that the world would be better of without him so I marched up to him and attacked him with a shout of "Looks like you're BONED now, numbSKULL!". "

>LIES (and half-truths)
>>44947828
>Perform (Oratory) (+Cha, +Circumstance, 13)
You leave out the bits about the person you tore to bits. But you tell Lavendar, loud enough that a small crowd slowly begins paying attention to you, about how you seized your sapience and wrought ruin on the necromancer with much punnery. The crowd doesn't seem extremely impressed, but you held their attention, and there was some scattered applause when you got to the part about rescuing the mayor's daughters. By the end of it, a few patrons have insisted on picking up Lavendar's tab, a third glass of milk for yourself included. You flash the patrons an enthusiastic thumbs up with one hand while pouring milk all over your face with the other.
Lavendar seems to have greatly enjoyed your evening together. As twilight approaches, you deliver her back to the Mayor's house, where she somewhat awkwardly tells you what a good time she had, and that she hopes she sees you again, and gosh mister thanks ever so much for saving my life. However, you are reminded of your skelty form when she whisks inside the mayor's house without so much as a hug good-bye.

I want to see what the necromancer was up to

>Back to the Cave
>Spoops Optional

You raise the hood on your cloak and begin the several hours' walk back to the cave. On your way out, you pass a couple heading for the Inn. It's dark, so they nod to you without really looking at you.
"Better hurry along to the Inn," you tell them, softly enough that they stop and lean in to hear you better. "Gonna rain this evening." You step towards them, just enough so that you slowly enter their lantern light as you speak.
"I can feel it...in me bones!"
The two of them drop their lantern and scatter fearfully into the town. You cackle at them as they pass before stamping out the small fire started by their lantern and continuing home.
Pirk and Nirk are still scraping the dirt over a shallow grave near the cave entrance when you approach. You come towards them in the pitch darkness, for you, like the goblins, can see perfectly even in the absence of light, the world cast as a dim colorless figment.
"Ah! Boss!"
"Did everything you asked, Boss!"
Indeed, the mouth of the cave has had some dirt and underbrush piled up around it to narrow its entrance. As you enter, you can hear the distant hollow plonking of a marimba melody.

>Going to wrap it up for this evening. I plan on running tomorrow from some time in the early afternoon until as late as ten or eleven. Thread is archived on suptg if you want to throw me a like, and I'm always open to any comments or suggestions in the threads.
>I'm trying to go for as much fun factor as possible here, in a fairly typical fantasy world that has a slight bit of absurdity to it. Rules will be somewhat-loosely based on 3.5e, at least for stat progressions and overall framework, but we'll probably simplify combat significantly to avoid endless dice autism.

Uh sure. @ChronPaul. I'll tweet tomorrow when I'm going to run.

Really enjoying this so far.
Can't wait to see what spooks we can get up to tomorrow.

Just caught up reading, looking forward to another thread of this. Well written and noice suggestions from the people in the thread. Not often we actually get that on /tg/
