How dare that pesky mage insult you so!
As she (and her do-gooder nitwits!) smashed your fake phylactery, banishing you into the nether until you could reform your body, she called you "an outdated fossil"!
You'll show those miserable brats, you scream to the ether as you claw your way back into the material world!
Well maybe their descendants.
From the feel of the Ley-Lines it's probably only been around 1500 years, placing the date as ~2066, give or take a few centuries.
From previous occasions, you can guess that not much has probably changed.
Maybe a new fancy metal, or perhaps they have rediscovered some of the ancient magics.
Probably nothing major, given how backwards things were when you re-died.
You are the great, the mighty, the powerful lich known as....
Gah! This soul transference always leaves you muggy for a while!

Who are you again?

I (we) am Cyr Raptis, THE GREATEST LITCH IN THE LAND!

>>48618824
Well, not off to the best start but lets plow ahead!
Votes/rolls will be ~15-20 min.

Thats right, you are Cyr Raptus!
THE GREATEST LICH IN THE LAND!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7_K28GZHdo

Mighty Ruler of all you survey, and now that is some sort of strange carved valley.
The walls seem to be a polished rock of a type unfamilliar to you, and you spy some glass windows above and ahead.
Truly a wealthy city, no doubt eager to pledge itself to anyone capable of protecting it!

First things first though, you need to gather information about the surroundings and culture, and establish a base of operations to exert your dark Will.

Where to?

>The buildings seem more decayed on the left. The poor always resist authorities intruding, and will leap on any chance to improve their lot!

>Over on the right, however, the streets seem to be brightly lit, and a loud throbbing noise is vaguely audible. A festival, no doubt!

>Somewhere else?

And should you bother to disuise your unatural appearance?

>No! these mortals need to learn their place, and the sooner the better!

>Perhaps some caution is advised... You can pull your cloak tightly around you

>Cast a spell to disguise you. Fashion probably hasn't changed, so the difficult part is probably choosing your guise...

Those who join me will serve, those that do not will serve in the next life!

We may be weakend, but that is no excuse for hiding ourselves like a dishonorable rat!

Ghetto it is, strutting your stuff!


You stride down the side of the carriageway, admiring the even curbs and clean, hard edges of the buildings around you. You have seen no sign yet of the city wall, truly this must be a capital city to rival ancient Barragaratak!
Purple cloak open wide, showing off your skeletal visage proudly to the empty streets as you inquisitively look around.

Hearing a dulled roaring behind you seeming to be a primitive form of music as some sort of strange horseless carriage pulls up.

"Holy shit Faggot, you on the wrong side of town prettyboi!"

Huh. A bundle of sticks? They could tell you were a skeletal Revenant of some sort even when your cloak covered you back, truly these must be fine examples of the modern warrior caste!

As you turn the cariage stops, the men inside all possesing darker skin shouting and hollering about some "mighty fine shit we smoking" and "tripping balls"

Hmmm....

>As modern soldiers, they provide a good chance to test your might. FIREBALL! (give me d20+10 for suprise)

>As obviosly fine examples of fighters, and no doubt well travelled and educated folk, they would make good servants for your DARK ARMY! (give me d20+5 for street grade narcotics)

>Something else?

What lich-lord is complete without his minions, they are what defines him and without them he is merely a undead wizard!

Okay boys, lets lay down the laws!
Rolls are done the best of first 3, with crits/critfails taking precedence!

Scaling slide of success, so at...
>>48619532
11, we have a moderate success.

"Mwa Ha Ha!", you crow.

"Join me, Mortals! Join me and my army of Darkness!"

"You will be granted power beyond your dreams! Riches and women aplenty should you serve well!"

"And if you prove yourself most loyal, even death will not be an obsticle to your glory!"

You follow it up with a general flare of magical light around your body, causing your cape to flap dramatically on multicoloured winds as you pose as only an immortal with too much spare time can.

They turn to each other, whispering furiously, before reaching a decision.

"Damn Son, you got some funky shit happening alright, but we Johnny B's boys, and if we bail on him we deam men, know what im sayin'?"

Ferocious warriors and loyal too, truly your luck has changed!

>Take me to your leader, that I may educate him on the new order of things!

>Johnny Isn't here. Try to pressure them into accepting you. (d20-5)

>Give up

>Something else

>Take me to your leader, that I may educate him on the new order of things!
Ancient lich with gangbanger henchmen is a winning combination.

>>48619729
>Something else
We should not tread lightly around a warlord. Need more information
>>
>>48619729
>Something else
Ask about this Johnny Bee guy, how powerful a lord he is.
>>
>>48619729

The cautious votes have it!
Ties will be broken on a first post basis, so get in quick.


Hmmm... Perhaps a modicum of caution is deserved when dealing with a warlord commanding such wonderful soldiers?

"Tell me of this 'Johnny B' you serve."

They lay it out in short excited breaths, how he took over the whole "east side" from some peasant militia, and controlls all medical trade entering the city by the docks as a result.
Seems he has around 300 boys he can call up, and some "heavy firepower", probably a mage or two.

Well? What now?

Rolled 20 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>48619977
Going straight to Johny B and attempting to intimidate him into obedience sounds like a dangerous idea.
>Johnny Isn't here. Try to pressure them into accepting you. (d20-5)

>>48620071
Hey, I typed a minus, not a plus! But it's still 15, so... Heh heh heh heh.
>>
>>48620083
not just that, a crit too!

>>48619977
With a flex of a mental muscle, dark power flows along channels of power not yet burned into this new frame of yours.
You forgot how much that stung, but at least a skull is good at gritting teeth.

The shadows flex behind you like a strange parody of a lens, cutting out the lights behind you, and then spreading all around the carriage to encompass it in darkness.

"I am here. Your Former master is not."

"You will serve, with your life or your death. Choose"

You swear they turned as pale as your own bones, as they recite the dark words you speak to them, binding them to your service

You now have 4 soldiers of unmistakeable competancy, newly minted into slavery in your name!
You now have a richly decorated carriage, although the operation of it is, (for now), beyond you.
You now have a loose end. Johnny Doesn't know what has just happened yet, but usurping his power is something he will not take lightly, when he discovers it.

Whats the next step?

Well /tg/, hope you are all enjoying it so far!
I ned to go do some shit, so if the thread is still up in about... 6 or 7 hrs ill keep going, else ill make a new one and archive this.
>>
>>48620258
>Whats the next step?
We need a tower and information. Let the new minions spring to work.
>>
>>48620258
>>48620434
This. We need a base of operations. Tower, castle, dungeon, anything.
>>
>>48620258
ask them to give us information about the location and defenses of the unknown warlord. Perhaps we can eliminate him with a decisive strike before he notices our presence.
>>
qm is you kill
>>
>>48621933
you illiterate he said he'd be back in 6-7 hours
