The dust begins to settle and you stand there looking at twelve hooded figures standing in a circle around you in the dimly lit dungeon. Silence dominates the room and many speak to each other in whispered voices for a short time until they all fall quite. One steps forward and reveals his face and that he too has horns but not that of a demons. A tiefling. You notice then that the rest follow him and all reveal their faces and that they are all tieflings. You look around at them and their faces seem visibly startled when they lay their eyes upon your visage. You stand twice the size of the tallest amongst them and they all seem surprised about that fact. Your largest pair of horns, that reach around a foot and a half, scrape against the roof of the circular room and you stand in the center.

The first of them begins to fidget slightly and as your glowing red eyes make their way from face to face and then his solid golden red eyes connect with yours and he stares at you. Under more scrutinization you notice he has large straight horns protruding from his brow that curve back and slightly upwards. His hair is almost entirely black with a hint of some dark red, not unlike his firebrick red skin, and it's length is kept in a tight knot. He dots his eyes around the room before kneeling and clearing his throat.

Welcome to the Demonic Invasion Quest!

The rules are simple but still need to be explained. Majority votes win and if we need to roll I will state it. Rolls are always the best out of three and critical rolls are taken either way. Everything else but combat is a 1d100 and combat is 3d10. (Yes I stole this dice system from other quests.) If anyone has any questions OOC then I will answer them after the written part just like this or within the discord server. (Yes. This too was an idea from another quest, the same quest to be exact.)

No general consensus has been reached. So the answer will become "none".

Writing.

>>1009067
You wave your hand dismissively. "No mortal. I do not answer to a Primal."

It seems the word of your demotion has not reached the ears of mortals. Yet they know you by name being that is the only way to directly contact a demon such like yourself.

"Oh uh.." the tiefling trails off before he looks around nodding at others to kneel as well and then bows his head.

"Well thank you for answering our call my lord. We ask of you to help us seek revenge against those who ruined to our once prosperous realm. My lord we ask that you help us reclaim that which was wrongfully taken from us," the young tiefling says pleadingly and then takes a breath and begins to speak again as he looks back to your face.

"We ask that you help us in this goal and we will pledge service to you and only you. We offer you treasure and ask only that you merely take again that was once lost."

You raise your eyebrow and then in a deep voice you growl, "What treasure?"

The tiefling then cracks an odd smile and replies, "Land."

A wicked smile graces your face and you nod thoughtfully.

"Who is your leader then mortal?"

The tiefling looks around the circle with some shrugging and then turns back to you. "I am. We are only but a few since they forced many of us into hiding less we wish the be captured or killed."

With a bit of a frown you stare at the tiefling. "Well then. Do tell who you are."

"My name is Baskil. We are the last remnants of the empire of Aranlius the Forsaken."

"The empire of Aranlius? Hmm.. so where am I now?" You ask.

"We are inside a temple once dedicated to worship of your kind. After they came and attacked us they since banned the worship and these ruins are one of the last to stand which lie just outside the walls of Blackmoor Stronghold -- a prison." Baskil says.

"And the conquerors, who are they?"

"They are followers of the bright folk. The nephilim. They call themselves The Kingdom of Forlinde." He pauses and sighs, "Fanatics of Uriel."

Baskil speaks more about how Forlinde came by boats across the narrow strait and sacked the southern cities and spread their religion to all who would listen. These people, this place all feels familiar somehow. Baskil finished and you nod thoughtfully. "About your pledge of service then. I assume you know what it entails."

"Yes we all understand what we have asked for. We are all willing." Baskil says.

————————•|||||

The way to pledge them to you indefinitely will mark their body and spirit with a black symbol that is directly connected to you. You mark them and their souls will be yours but they will not be able to summon other demons unless they sacrifice someone who has not been marked as souls are needed to summon a demon. If you do not mark them then you must also have sacrifices to keep your power stable.

Do you want to mark them?

While nodding you look around the circle of tieflings. They all seem young and untested. Silly mortals dabbling in things beyond them. You sigh and wave your hand. Suddenly a bright light emits from each tiefling from some random spot on their body; a shoulder, the head, forearms. They all squirm and flinch at the sudden blinding heat.

Their collective power surges through you giving a distinct but unplaceable feeling like finding a loved one or becoming reunited with an item long lost. It's odd and ends as quickly as it began. As the light fades away they all stand with uncertainty and look around grimacing slightly with some rubbing the spot of their new mark. They are now bound to you. In flesh and in spirit.

Baskil looks around at his people and then back to you. "Thank you. Thank you many times over. We will take what is rightfully ours and with your help we will keep it that way."

"Baskil.." one of the others speaks up, "now that we have summoned Roc what are we to do about the hunters who are to surely feel his sudden presence?"

Demon hunters. Slayers. Stalkers. Adventurers. Pawns of the gods who wish to slay your kind. Most are ambitious mortals who wish for their name to be praised but there are those who are powerful in their own right.

"Worry not. They are but weaklings compared to us!" Baskil says as he produces an ornate medallion and holds it up. "These hunters are nothing to us."

Some seem to not be convinced though.

"These hunters... what can you tell of them?"

The one who spoke up earlier turns to you and begins "they are mercenaries paid by the Forlindians to hunt down us. Since they sailed over that strait six winters past almost all the kings of the holds were slain at their hands!"

"They are hired men who kill what they are paid to kill and they are good at their job." Another says plainly. Then they all seem to quite down. After a while of idle chatter Baskil waves them off and the rest disperse except for Baskil and a girl next to him. You elect to leave the somewhat cramp circular room. Exiting through a large archway you find yourself at a balcony overlooking an extensive yet dilapidated room. The masonry and craftsmanship is higher than what most would be able to produce.

Two sets of stairs extend from the balcony to the ground where several benches and pedestals are located. Skeletons litter the building which paints a scene of struggle. Some of the wood looks burnt and signs of scuffs and cracks are throughout. Peering through the many painted windows you can see it is night outside and you can see small plumes of smoke which are possibly home chimneys. Looking more you see that the surrounding buildings are burnt or torn down of not condemned to be.

Turning around you can see Baskil and the girl had followed you through the arch and are standing at the balcony.

"Sad isn't it?" Baskil says dully. "This used to be a very well known place of worship. Blackmoor was once our bastion against the storm. The last hold. And now we are prisoners to its walls. Blackmoor was built by your kind after the creation of ours. A reminder to the Forlindians that we will be ever strong. Ever standing."

"Hmm.. yes." you say absentmindedly. The pair of them walk down the steps looking at you. The girl, a tiefling, seems a little younger than Baskil who you imagine you be a young adult. They both share those solid gold eyes though Baskil's hair is no where near as red as hers.

"And you are?" You ask looking at the girl.

"M-my name.. " she trails off.

"She's my younger si--" Baskil says before the girl elbows him.

"My name is Lilissa." She says quietly.

"Mhm." Baskil says. "She's my sister."

You turn and look at the temple for a bit mulling over what have happened so far. "How is it that you were able to summon me by name? You don't seem knowledgeable of demonology."

"It was our father!" Lilissa speaks up.

"Our father gave us a book with a note inside telling us how to contact you. Apparently it was his father's passed down to him by his father and before him.. " Baskil trails off as his eyes grow wider. Outside the temple you can hear voices talking.

Waving at your two companions to follow you begin to walk toward the entrance of the temple where the voices are coming from.

"...felt something." One of the voices says to another.

"Sure you did Jim. Last time it was a goat. What do you think it is now since you brought me brother and I along to your madness."

"I'm telling you, this one is.. " the voice trails off before you begin to hear wood being removed from the door. A man pushes the door open and stares at you blankly. "... big. "

Moonlight beams through the open door shining light on the single man standing in the archway. You walk towards the man and grab him in your large hands lifting him up to eye level.

"Hey Jim what are you... " Two other men walk in with torches and their weapons drawn. Baskil and Lilissa stand at your sides and they too draw their weapons.

"Greetings mortals." You take the man in one hand and with your free one you wave your hand which commands the doors shut. "I wasn't expecting guests this late so please excuse the mess."

The two brothers look terrified and the man in your arms turns back to them saying "I think it's safe to say it's not a goat this time."

Your nails dig into his skin making him wince. They wear minimal armor but seem strong in their own right. They all carry swords and both Baskil and Lilissa carry only daggers however ornate.

Tossing the man in your arms at a group of benches you move forward slowly toward the two at the door. Their torches burn brightly and begin to flare up as you near. Burning their hands they drop the torches which then sputter out and the flame dies away.

Darkness engulfs the entryway as only your glowing red eyes peer through at the brothers. Flames spark up again and it shows your magnificence to them. They prepare their blades and swing wildly with none making their mark. You simply grab one by the head and crush it beneath your fingers like a walnut.

A thud and the other drops his blade and turns to the door rapidly beating at it and as he begins to scream your hand goes through his chest and tears out his heart in one clean motion puncturing his armor on both sides. Their souls fuel you momentarily before they pass.

The one they called Jim watched in horror as the others died within a few seconds of entering the temple. He begins to cower behind the benches you tossed him at. Baskil goes over to him and drags him from behind as the human dares not to protest. You raise your hand and speak, "Don't. We may have use for him. Do you have a place to store him?"

Baskil nods and props the man up pushing him along to some place deep within the temple. Lilissa stares at you in awe for a few moments before she too hurries after her brother.

Also I would like to note that due to us not being a lord we can only summon low level demons until we make concracts with higher demons allowing us to summon them.

We can however summon things like hellhounds, hell bats, dregs, and a few others but I'm not entirely finished with the list of demons. Once I am it will be in a character sheet along with other abilities.

After a disdainful look at the two fresh corpses you drop the heart and follow Baskil and Lilissa to a room past the balcony. It's a small room made from stone with iron cages and cells within. Baskil moves the new prisoner into one of the cells and with a jingle of keys he is locked within. You wonder how long the tieflings have been here since the entrance seems to be less than clean with what is strewn around the floors but easily turn your attention to the prisoner.

"So I assume you are a hunter of some sort yes?" You ask in a deep gravely voice and the man nods hurriedly. "How did you become one... or how did you find us?"

The man then lifts up a medallion not unlike the one Baskil holds onto. "The clergy gives out these pendants. They shake when something wrong is nearby. Damn idea of a night hunt.. should of waited till morn."

"And the others? The too were hunters?" You ask nearing closer to the cell.

"No, only those who are deemed worthy by the clergy are allowed pendants. Those were.. pals of mine.." the man trails off. It seems this clergy is responsible for the little intrusion.

"And the clergy, are there many near?"

"No." The man says plainly and then turns away and tosses the pendant out of his small iron cell. He seems to not want to talk anymore.

The human seems content within his box so you leave him and the room. You call for Baskil and he comes along. You tell him to send some tieflings to interrogate the prisoner and if he says anything at all they are to make a note of it word for word. "We must know our enemies. Break him."

You leave and return to the entrance where you find two tieflings rummaging through the pockets of the dead brothers. They notice you and then produce two small bags of coins and walk backwards slowly. One glares at the other and whispers, "See I told you!" Before they both walk away with their heads bowed.

You ignore them for the time being and Inspect the two corpses. They were wearing kettle helmets and cuirasses along with shin guards. They had a sword with each and the one without a head had a small book as some sort of diary or ledger or possibly both. Skimming through the book you find an excerpt reading out

" My brother and I are following Jim along on another adventure. We went down to the tunnels beneath Blackmoor and found a cave filled with moss. Jim swore he saw a damn forsaken but it's just light playing tricks on him. We left him and went through back to surface and found a tunnel the leads to the prisons. Dumbasses were drunk again told Harold of it. Bloody forsaken in a cell stole me bread so I bought some more.

-4 copper. Bread.

I'm be broke by the morn with Henry wantsin the tab."

The rest seemed un-noteworthy. You notice a tiefling watching you near the balcony.

>>1011974
You stand up and wave the two tieflings over from earlier to strip the bodies while you keep the book. You tell them to move the bodies to the room with our new prisoner once they are done taking things from them.

After a bit of wondering around you find Baskil sitting near a fire in a repurposed room which now looks like a living space with a few cots and clothing placed around the room. You hand him the dead brother's journal and point to the page you found earlier. "Seems we found a way to Blackmoor. It's an entryway to the prison. From what he wrote it is barely guarded."

"This.." There is a pause with Baskil reading over the journal excerpt a few times. "This is good news."

"What can you tell of the prison?"

"It's where they torture our kind. They keep them half starved and weak. If we find those there would certainly go with our cause but they may not do much until they are properly looked after." Baskil says somewhat crestfallen yet with enthusiasm for finding more of his people. "From what I can tell the prison should be the first place we head if we wish to retake Blackmoor. But Blackmoor itself is well fortified and the prison sits at its center."

"Do you know who is in control of the city?"

"From what I've heard it is a particularly powerful duke of Forlinde. I don't know if there are many hunters in the city but if there are then they would definitely be heading here soon. Nearest city with their religious sects is a weeks travel by foot."

If there is no immediate threat we have two weeks time before more hunters arrive. It's still dark outside from what you can tell.

Baskil reads through the journal of the deceased as you look at the fire. Two weeks is quite some time to prepare for a likely attack as a fairly inept hunter was even able to determine you were present. Looking at the solid stonework you are reminded that if you are attacked there will be very little you can do if this place is not properly secured.

"How long have you been here Baskil?"

The tiefling tears away from the book and closes it setting it aside before speaking. "About a week now. We haven't done much but find the materials for your summon."

"I guessed as much. This place however nice seems to be lacking for defenses. If it is true that the hunters are coming then we must prepare quickly." You say as you stand up to leave the room. Baskil follows you out to the balcony and you both look out to the church. The tall stained glass will be a problem if not dealt with when defending a place like this. Baskil tell you there are several holes within the structure itself but was never able to secure it. There is a rat infestation in the basement near where the prisoner is kept which can provide meager souls for beasts but would need to have some time to prepare the rites and rituals to do so. Traps would also be helpful in defending the place but the resources and set up will take time as well. Then there is also the prison which would help with man power but would take time to properly stage the escape.

You both stand in silence looking over at the temple floor. "We should see about those rats then. A few hellhounds or bats would help a long ways."

Baskil looks at you and nods. "The rituals will take some time and capturing enough rats would be another thing. I'll gather the rest and we will begin work."

You both go depart ways. You eventually find the book that they used to summon you with and you read it as you wait for them to prepare the rest.

————————

During the days the tieflings sleep and during the nights they gather items around the summoning pit or hunt rats in the basement. You however read the curious book which depicts many different rituals about demons or necromancy or even divines. Though you can't help but feel you're being watch you seem to never find the peering eyes. Outside the temple during the days it is almost dead quite with the odd poverty-stricken peasant wandering through the ruins nearby scavenging for some useful thing. No hunters. No Knights. No pests. After six days and six nights the tieflings call to you for the summoning. They cannot summon demons themselves but with your help demons can cross over from the great divide.

There are several rats in a cage in the center. It looks like a swirling mass of flesh and hair. This can be used to summon either three hellhounds, two hellhounds and two hell bats, one hellhound and four hell bats or six hell bats.

————————•|||||
*Hell bat - [[Demon Beast]] - a small bat like creature with glowing red eyes and black cracked skin. They produce hell flame spit which is a small bolt of flame that melts metal but cools very fast.

*Hellhound - [[Demon Beast]] - a large wolf like creature with flaming red eyes and mouths. They have black cracked skin which produces flames between the cracks. They have a powerful bite and can burn skin if too close.

You nod at Baskil to begin the summoning of two hellhounds and two hell bats. The circle begins the rites and liturgy associated with the summons. You do the same but in your native tongue. This somewhat hymn or chant is spoken in a sing song way for the invocation of the bestial demons.

A whirling mass forms in the center of the group as magicka is syphoned from each member. The winds begin to stir as the portal opens dust and ash fill the room and the circle slowly stops the chat. Several sets of eyes pierce the dust. After a few minutes of watching the dust begins to clear and ash settles and all can see the new servants from the great beyond. The hellhounds bow their heads and the bats flutter their wings in contempt of the new scenery.

After a small amount of watching the circle disperses and you turn to Baskil as the hellhounds and bats explore their new home. "Now we have a new force of demons if we were not known of they will certainly draw the attention. The windows are the weakest point of our building and must be fortified if we wish to properly defend against any form of serious Hunter attack."

Baskil nods and leaves you. Later in the night you find the sounds of the cannibalization of the benches to cover the windows. You help some but your attention is drawn to the lone prisoner once more. The ones who have been torturing him have told you about a supposed meeting of the keep-holders in the capital to the west. He believes that it will happen in the coming month around three weeks out but he is unsure if the news is even true. He begs for release.

Is possession a thing?
It would be a easy way to get some of our lackeys from our realm over here.
If not:
>[C] Enslave him
I wanna keep him just incase we need a sacrifice later and he can at least make himself useful until we need him.

>>1012733
Like having a demon posses the human and control his actions?

>>1012755
>>1012733
I guess I can do that it would take time in Quest wise.

>>1012802
Yeah if we make a demon loyal to us possess him, we have a subordinate who is familiar with how to work with other demons and maybe the demon possessing him is a specialist like a smith or something like that.

>>1012820
Solid plan anon.

>>1012820
Would you rather him be possessed or marked? Marking someone forces your will upon them which is the reason we marked the tieflings. You can basically make him do whatever you want. Possession I would probably make it so only higher demons can possess which would allow for recruitment of higher demons which lesser demon and up. And lesser demons are usually under the will of a Primal. Think Succubus for Lust or Beserkers for Wrath.

Possession can only happen to those who are magically inclined.

>>1012879
>Possession I would probably make it so only

Possession is only for higher

Typing two sentences at once is bad mmkay?

>>1012879
So no possession for regular dudes like this guy?
Marking sounds like a reasonable thing to to do, since if he is practically our slave and can't disobey, we won't even need to torture him for information anymore, don't need to hold him captive and he can work for us.

>>1012879
Btw could you please elaborate on how possession works?
Do we need to be near the person?
Do we have to contact the demon first or offer something?
And what kind of status do we have amongst other demons?

>>1012868
>>1012906

So marking Jim the Human.

Is there anything specific you wanted him to do?

We need to prepare for an assault on the prison.
If we occupy the prison, we can use the imprisoned tieflings as guards and gather the remaining population for sacrifices there.
Also scout if there are mages or something alike there, so we can have them possessed and plant a powerful demon within the enemies walls

>>1012923
We are a greater demon named Roc. I mentioned that he was once a Demon Lord which is a demon who holds one of the many Black Keeps within hell in their Primal's Realm.

Lesser to greater

Beast demons
Dregs - Weak demons
Forsaken - Abominations and such

Lesser Demons - Demon churls
Great Beasts of Hell - Primal specific beast
Greater Demons
Demon Knights
Demon Lord
Knight of Hell
Demon Prince

Basic Hiarchy of hell.

>>1012966
Thanks, so we can theoretically hire any demon below us, right?

>>1012926
>Gather information
The key to being spooky is knowing personal information
So learn it about anyone who will check out the keep

>>1012985
We can hire anything below us except for forsaken. Forsaken are like the tieflings or any other race meddled with by demon shenanigans like the Drow, Duergar, and a few others. Forsaken has to be made, like in the way you make a flesh golem, or given power/ tricked like the drow.

You stare at the human for a little bit until a wicked smile cracks across your face. "You will be mine then."

You have your hand in the air and his right hand glows a familiar glow and a black mark appears upon it after it settles. "W-what have you done to me?"

Jim says as he looks up at you in pleading eyes. Fear. "I have liberated you of tiresome freedom. Though that freedom was never true it still stands that you will be mine. My eyes and ears. You will go out and deliver to me information. This Blackmoor prison, gather all you can and tell me once I call upon you. If you try to tell anyone anything then.. things will get interesting won't they?"

He stares wide eyed as you open the cell door and push him along out the temple. "How will I know your call?"

You smile again and point to his hand. "Oh you will know."

————————

Five days and five nights pass as the construction is made and the temple is somewhat cleaned. The tieflings look upon their work proudly and you inspect their craftsmanship. The benches were cannibalized and the wood was used to cover the windows. Heavy iron nails were used to keep them in place. The temple floor is also clear except for a makeshift barricades near the entrance which consists of small wooden spikes, dirt, and left over wooden planks.

Three more days until the hunters return with a band of fighters. You feel prepared and so does the rest of your small group. You have some extra time to spare.

Going over final inspections of your small cult following you notice a sever lack in defensive armaments. After taking the armor off of the brothers who was following Jim only Baskil has any actual protection. This is unsettling to say the least as most of them have only daggers or maces. They all have some magical ability due to them being forsaken -- having demon blood.

You find Baskil as he has his robes parted wearing some clothing and the armor they acquired. "Baskil. Do you know of any way we can acquire more armor to arm the rest?"

"I do not know of any." He says after a moment of silence. You leave him and call on your two hell bats and give them instructions on finding an armory or a carriage with steel in it. The two bats nod and flutter through a crack in the roof of the temple. An entire day and night pass before the bats return heralded by the beating of small wings. They speak in your native tongue faintly as they tell you of their findings. One went into Blackmoor and found a blacksmith shop in a merchant area and an armory in a prison area. The other bat tells about a wagon headed south from here tonight carrying what you seek though it has guards. You send them off again with the intent of finding the location of the hunters.

From the sound of it the wagon is a little bit into the forest in the south, half a nights walk. If you leave right now you can find them off the road and perhaps catch them by surprise.

You have two days left until the Hunters arrive.

With this new knowledge you seek out council with Baskil. He is speaking with his sister and another tiefling you are vaguely familiar with. "I have news. There is a wagon filled with what we need. We leave now."

They look amongst themselves and back at you and disperse to tell others. You call upon your hellbats and hellhounds and the tieflings gather around the door with you waiting for the rest of them to finish. The temple door cracks open and you and your entourage leave into the forest.

Following the road south for a few hours you come across the distant crackling of fire and you decide to spread out to surround the ever approaching fire. Getting closer you are flanked by a hell hound and a tiefling you have yet to be introduced with. Tents are spaced out sparingly and the two horses are tied up and muzzled. The camp owners are all knocked out cold.

They sleep.

You motion for a few tieflings to move in and if possible gag and tie up. Two tieflings go in and grab rope and some cloth and head into a tent. After a quite startled noise it falls quite and the two tieflings emerge from the tent. They give a quick thumbs up and move onto the next one.

More tieflings move in and within an hour the camp is almost completely finished. The tents are deconstructed and put into the wagon. The newly gagged and tied prisoners are lined up in front of a fire. Five guards and three merchants with the sad departure of two who were light sleepers. Ordering the tieflings to put the dead in the wagon and tie the living to it you move around and inspect the newly acquired friends.

All tired and all fearful eyes stare at you as you walk up and down the line. Fools.

The journey back was quick and had hours before the sun rose again.

Is there a way to put parasites on the souls of the humans we've marked that would slowly corrupt them? Whispering and corrupting their minds with dark thoughts and what not.

In case they ever get freed of our mark they may be so far gone they wouldn't want to go back anyway.

>>1013692
Yes you can summon more with their souls.

There is no such parasite. Marked humans cannot escape the mark.

The moonlight cascades across the the temple's structure and it bathes in its glory. As you approach the temple you see it's once exquisite stonework and masonry which erected the building. Entering through the two large doors the tieflings begin to unload the wagon. You watch as the prisoners are all dragged into the back room. They shamble forward oh so sluggishly. Tearing away from the prisoners you then see the tieflings digging around the wagon's innards. Multiple sets of simple armor is found within just like the bat spoke of as well as a good amount of weapons and shields.

Many tieflings already claim the armaments and others still rummage within the wagon finding a ledger, some rope, and a crate of jarred spices. Watching them, you see a particularly lengthy and robust claymore which you claim for yourself as you have no weapon to speak of.

After the general excitement dull down the tieflings disperse with their newfound bounty. You make your way to the prisoners and they are generally quite. Without discourse you mark three guards and let the out of the prison, with specific instructions.

————————

A hell bat flutters through a crack in the roof with a crossbow bolt stuck inside its left wing. It drops slowly near you making a pitiful squeak as it hits the floor of the temple. There are torches outside the entry door and you can hear voices. Baskil and company come near and prepare for a battle.

Loud thuds upon the wooden doors echo through the chambers of the temple.

The door cracks open and the visibly tieflings tense up. The newly marked guards stand in front and hold up shields steadfast. Creaks of wood panels as the first few make their way in.

Taking your claymore and imbedding it into the floor boards you begin to call upon for a spell. Ethereal flames etch across your skin and gather at your hand in a dense ball of hate. In a single swing you cast the ball and it flies toward the elf in the center. A faint blue light appears in front of the hunters and the fire spreads across it and dissipates in a smoky puff. The elf doesn't even flinch.

It didn't even touch him. You draw your blade in one hand and charge forward in one motion as the tieflings begin to shoot fire at the group with the same luck. Bringing your blade level you cleave at the hunters narrowly missing two as they are pushed backwards. The three guards move forward and you begin to attack the hunters.

The tieflings join in and Baskil is at your side with a rather large battle axe. The elf retaliates and swings at your calves cutting shallow but cutting nonetheless. You step back as another swings. Dodging you kick the new assailant square in the chest pushing him backwards to the other hunters.

Taking the claymore again you swing left at the elf and as he dodges you take your right hand balling it in a fist and in a fluid movement you slam it in the elf's prissy little face sending him feel back grabbing at his now broken nose he backs away and two hunters take his place.

Again you pull back and kick the only closest to you in their chest pushing him back and making him fall. The tieflings continue to pelt the group with flame and as the elf moved back so did the magicka aura he possesses. The flames now find their target and melt away at shields forcing them to drop the molten metal. The elf notices this and moves back closer to the front but nowhere near you. A guard falls grabbing and clenching to his now bleeding chest. Two hunters also fall so some injury or another.

You take the claymore and make a wide sweeping arc at the hunters. You motion for the two hellhounds to go around and attack the elf and then make another wide swing this time to slam it into their lines. Breaking their formation the collapse onto the center and the hounds simple walk past either side. You kick a hunter in front of you down and plant your foot on his chest concaving it and crushing him. Baskil swings his axe and tears a shield away from one of them and then bears it down again into the hunter's skull.

The hounds draw near to their target and you watch intently as they pounce on the elf as he was turned facing you. They catch him by surprise and he topples over and falls. Within seconds the elf's feminine screams turn into horrifying gurgling of blood. With the aura down the flames begin to lick at the armor of the hunters. Their metal warms and heats up like a boiling pot and just like it they begin to roast. The rest drop their blades and raise their hands quickly in defeat.

Your comment reminds me of the outdo to DBZ just without the "Next time on Dragon Ball Z.."

But to answer your questions it just depends on what you'd want to do really. You can make the marked hunters go out and be assassins or cult leaders or whatever really. The clergy is a broad term for the religious people meaning paladins, templars, clerics, demon slayers, etc etc.

Those that are left of the hunters are standing with their hands in the air and heads bowed low in solemn disgrace. You ignore the dead and you place your hand on each of them marking them with the black symbol. It burns their skin. It binds them. All five of them.

You wade through the pitiful fools and make your way to where the hounds' dinner laid sprawled out. He wears the same ornate medallion along with another vastly more ornate necklace which identifies his house. Dead or dying he lay there. You crouch over him and rummage through his belongings and produce a letter. It's boring but it talks about something interesting; the meeting of the holds' lords is in a weeks time. Under closer inspection you notice he is also carrying a few crystals. Essence. Immaterial. Magicka pure. Stuff of intense magical properties. You hold onto it and return to the temple.

These hunters were pitiful and disappointingly annoying. Arrogant fools. The tieflings and the marked humans drag the dead to the cells and pile them up. That pile is only getting larger and the stench stronger.

You watch them as they wash the boards of the blood and clean the mess.

Flesh Golems, Zombies, Skeletons, Abaminations. But you will need to research that magic.

Spell List

————————•|||||

*Black Mark* - [[Ritual]] - Marks an individual with a black symbol burnt into their skin. While they are marked you control their body and spirit. Your word is the law. Other demons cannot mark your mortals or possess them. Cannot mark immortals.

Return to Sender - [[Ritual]] - Return to the great beyond.

Summon Demon - (Specify) - [[Ritual]] - A ritual to summon a Demonic presence from the great divide. Demons available is due to change

Ethereal Flames - [[Combat ^Conical]] - A surge of flames engulf an area in front of you. Can melt metal but dissipates moderately fast.

Fire Bolt - [[Combat ^Projectile]] - A ball of condensed flames that is thrown. Cannot melt steel but will last until it hits a target or it will dissipate at a long distance.

————————•|||||

More spells can be unlocked through spell tomes or research.

>>1014476

It's me

I feel like as a greater demon who was once lord we are underpowered a bit. BTW what does return to sender do exactly? Is it like making a portal to back to the demon realm or banish an entity from a realm?

>>1014476
Let's sacrifice all of our captives we haven't marked for summoning a demon with knowledge of necromancy.

>>1014483

Also it was going to be later revieled that Roc lost his memory after the demotion and only remembers being demoted.

You count the losses having only two fall during the fight is an arguably good outcome if not the best from the sound of things. The new servants replenish those that were lost and are exceptionally better. Though being hunters their faces are known. You leave that as it lay and you make your way to the pile of dead you have amassed.

A tiefling is standing there looking at the corpses. He turns and notices you standing there. "Oh hey.. "

The tieflings seems worried about something. You stare blankly at him until he speaks up again. "These corpses.."

The tiefling trails off again and then speaks up again. Indecisive. "We can use them" he pauses once again before sighing and starting over. "The corpses can be used for summoning demons right?"

"No" you say plainly and the tiefling seems to be a bit relieved.

"Well can I see if I can use them? I found a book.. "

Soon you will know what is up too~

>>1014764
I forgot we could go incubus for female lords (if they exist)

>>1014653
You stare at the tiefling and ponder his proposal. The tiefling looks a bit frail and is of average appearance and height. A necromancer. Disgusting. You sigh as you look back at the pile of corpses and then you wave your hand dismissively. "Do what you wish then mortal. Just don't try lichdom, you've already sold your soul."

"Thank you!" The tiefling perks up and begins to drag the corpses to some unknown corner of the temple with a trail of red paint following him. You turn your gaze away from the weird one and stare at the captives.

"What will I do with you play things?" You say as you crouch to become at eye level. "More friends I hope. It would take all of you to get just one that has favor with a Primal though. One would be left if it's one without favor."

Fear. Fear. Fear. They reek of it.

Eyes see but do not know...

Primals are as listed.

>[A] Wrath

>[C] Lust
>[D] Gluttony
>[E] Sloth
>[F] Greed
>[G] Pride

>>1014833
Shit I knew I was missing something.

You have 5 captives.

I want to summon someon who could spy to a point so maybe a primal specific under lust is what I'd choose but idk about other anons

>>1014827
>>[B] Back out and do something else.

>>1014891
So 1 for a lesser demon of lust

And

>>1014900
1 for backing out

I mean we only have Jim to spy with so we could use more spy power

>[C] Lust

>>1014939
sure anon... You just want sexy times.

————————•|||||

I'm currently rewriting the character sheet. It will have spells, demon list, and also information about the others. Though for some you have to get to know more like Jim or Lilissa or the mysterious necro-Tiefling.

————————•|||||

>>1014842
Greed and Gluttony could work too for spy work, but lets go with Lust today. I doubt we can get into meeting in time otherways.
>[C] Lust
What sort of demon we can wait for? An elegant shapeshifter or ogre sized rape machine?

>>1014973
there is no difference between males and females and they are all elegant and enticing looking females of the onlooker's race. Illusion is also their best set of magic. Other primals have other specifics.

>>1014973
"Orge sized rape machine" woah there we are trying to spy not a koolaid man ogre businht through walls raping ppl.

>>1014986
Thx for saving the day OP

>>1014986
Lesser demons are representations of the Primal. Greaters inspire the Primal's sin along with representing it.

>>1014998
Oh I think I understand primals more now

>>1014973
>>1014943

Lust. The pleasure of flesh.

"We need someone to become a guest at a nice banquet I've heard of." You say slowly and then point out exactly what you want. The five weak mortals are set in a circle facing outward. This is the first sacrifice of many. A building block of death. Truth. You stare at the circle of robed tieflings they are all ready. They desire power for protection. For survival. Desire power either way.

The chats and liturgy begin in at Baskil and in time the circle starts to become louder. You notice the marked guard stares with a face of fear and hate etched across it. Good. The sound of a eerily calming sound of uniform chanting moves you to join in as you lay out the specifics in your native tongue. Power seeps through the mortals and condenses in a ball above in the center. The sacrifices begin to convulse and seize as the spell continues.

Soon the winds stir and smoke bellows forth. Soon it settles.

Lust. Pleasure of the flesh. Simple. Enticing. Devouring.

A figure of exquisite beauty stands before you. Almost perfection incarnate. A succubus. You were so fixated upon the demon you never noticed the chanting stopped. The marked guard's previous hate has been wiped away by lust. He shakes his head and stares again at the now non existent dead of his charge. And so his hate returns.

"Roc. What a pleasure it is to finally find the champion I've heard so much of. You already know my name. Of course you do.. Lilith." Her words like silk but an odd sense comes over you. Mind games.

"Good. Lilith. Welcome." You pause gathering yourself. "I have a job for you. There is something that is happening in four days time and I need you to get acquainted with a noble lord."

"Easy as said Roc dear." She walks slowly toward you and places a finger on your bare chest. She traces on your skin with her nail and then walks passed you. "Do keep in touch. I'd hate to be out there by my lonesome."

Eyes on the prize Roc~. Her voice echoes through your mind. Telepathy. Let's talk once it's over.

She leaves. Your mind yours again.

What do you do?

>[A] Talk with the tieflings
>[B] Give the Hunters orders
>[C] Call upon Jim the Human
>[D] Train
>[E] ( write in )

I think a Demon of Wrath would've been more useful. If we only wanted lewds we could have just bent over the most attractive Tiefling woman in our group, but I guess a Lust Demon will be useful for getting information out of our prisoners.

Maybe we should start raping mortal women, and holding them captive, so we can restart the Tiefling race.

>>1015138
Sorry it took some time. Couldn't find an attractive succubus picture oddly enough.

>>1015138
>[D] Train

>>1015145
Tieflings are "cursed". Tieflings were "created" by demon shenanigans like the drow. The angles having lewds with a mortal makes a Nephilim whilst a demon having lewds with a mortal makes a Cambion. Angles don't have shenanigans with mortals because they are "righteous".

>>1015171
While tieflings and drow are entirely different races and can produce offspring with their own nephilim and cambions cannot make more nephilim or cambions. They can only make the mortal race which they were children of.

>>1015138
Can we take 2 options?
>[B] Give the Hunters orders
Order the hunters to start kidnapping lone people nearby

>[D] Train

>>1015184
Yeah sure.

What do you want to train?

>>1015138
>[B] Give the Hunters orders
send them forth, we have irons in the fire

We could always rape mortals for the Evulz and the pleasure of it, getting capable minions out of it is just a bonus. In the future, when we've forged an empire, we'll need to get ourselves a harem of brown elves.

For now, let's talk to the Succubus, and possibly have lewds to deal the deal.

>>1015190
What we can train?

>order tieflings to study magic
>try to learn more magic yourself aswell.

>>1015192
>>1015184
>>1015158

Train & give hunters orders.

Writing

>>1015209
Sure

We got a library in our tower back in hell, right?
I'm sure there should at least be one book on necromancy.

Remember there is always another way to get information and I think lust works well with that.
There already was a mention of teifling orgy but I feel like that wasn't really necessary yet.

We should have gotten a demon of wrath for the firepower, but infiltration will work.

Since it is the QUANTITY and not the QUALITY of the souls that matter for summoning, we should aim to mark the souls and bodies of fighters and use the weak for summoning. A caravan of servants would be ideal.

I wanna find some sort of tinkerer demon in the future.
Nobody can stop us once we start a demonic industrial revolution.

>>1015281
i'm concerned about firepower too. we seem pretty weak when we're attacked. if any sizable force comes against us, we're just dead.
>1 we need legit force.
>2 exaggerated shows of force to intimidate hunters
>3 our marked ones amongst the populous, corrupting the faithful and spreading legend
>4 constantly growing numbers and a means to sustain them

>>1015316
I wonder if the necromancer tiefling can make a flesh golem?

>>1015322
Necromancy is great if we want to alienate possible allies and rally the humans and angels against us.
If we are just a force to deal with, they can chalk it up to the remaining resistance being hard to stamp out and would increase the pressure more slowly, rather than the fear that the undead would bring.

>>1015316
Ideally we summon demons that can take the souls and corrupt others, maybe even summon more demons. I assume primal specific demons will be strong enough to gather souls.

>>1015351
I get the stuff about alienating potential allies but a flesh golem seems like the only warbeast we have access to right now.
Any thougts about starting industrialization later?

Is it possible to make demons infiltrate societies and corrupt them over time? Its a good consideration since power seems to be the topic and lillith can probably do a good job corrupting ppl.

>>1015376
I honestly think we should start industrialization early to boot cause it can help in the long run.

>>1015138
You stare at Lilith as she leaves the temple. A few moments after she left you tear away and the rest disperse from the circle. You hold a few before they scatter and ask, "What do you know of Illusion magic?"

"Not much only very basics. Shouldn't you know.." She is cutoff by another tiefling who reveals herself to be Baskils little sister.. what's her name? Lilissa.

"I know some!" She says in a somewhat uncharacteristically enthusiastic way. A child.

"Does you broth--"

"Nope." She says and you stare at her. She gives a faint smile before she notices what she did and bows her head. You sigh "Teach the rest if you can or get someone to teach combat magics. That elf hunter showed us we must become stronger."

You leave them and find the five hunters meandering around the front gate. They notice you and cry out, "What did you do to us foul demon? Who was that creature? Why are we here?"

Assaulted by questions you simply wave your hand and silence them. "You are my servants. You do not ask. You only do. Bring me those willing. The weak. The left over. I will give them purpose. If they are unwilling, bring them too."

You wave your have again and they can again speak. They nod silently and exit the temple one after another. More.

————————

You watch over the tieflings as they begin to practice and train. Their over all magic skill is however better than an average human's it is still lacking. You too practice and work on your own magical prowess in the days of waiting.

————————

After a week Lilith returns and smiles. "Well do I have a story to tell you my dear!"

"Speak then."

"The lords are planning on taking more of your.." she looks around at the tieflings in disdain, "... friends. They believe that a tower off the coast is housing a rouge group. They also heard of some... hunters that have gone missing. Though they chop it up to incompetence and barely care at all. They say there will be some fancy lord lady that will be heading to some capital from the southern lands. They seem to fear her. They should from what I hear."

She speaks in an almost sing song way -- a way to captivate mortals. You are immortal. "Good."

What do you do?

>[B] Talk with the tieflings
>[C] Talk with Lilith
>[D] train
>[E] ( write in )

>>1015376
>>1015383

Most I can promise is probably guns or Warforged. The dwarves have the best machinery and technology currently though their distant cousins who know of some demon shenanigans are better at demonic machinery.

B

I want to see if the tieflings know of this rouge group and I wanna see how their training is going.

>>1015384
>[A] Call upon Jim the Human
He need to make contact with this new group and warn them of the coming danger
>[C] Talk with Lilith
She needs to lure some noble off the well light path so we can ambush and mark him.

>>1015376
I guess it depends on how the invasion goes.

>>1015384
[A] Call upon Jim the Human
I think it's time to raid the prison. Maybe we can get the tower group to help.

>>1015417
Supporting! this seems better cause we can get more information off the noble. His idea is kinda better

>>1015417
Supporting. Also tell the tieflings to hunt can let them be lazy whole everyone else is doing things. Hunt for humans of course.

>>1015417
>>1015423

Call upon Jim & Talk to Lilith

Writing! Hopefully I don't talk half an hour this time!

>>1015384
>[A] Call upon Jim the Human
Lets see what he has find out so far, I want to get to that prison and soon.

>[B] Talk with the tieflings
Ask them about this new group at tower..and any other groups that they might know.
We best to sent tiefling or Lilith to take a message to them..Lilith would work best.

>>1015417
No, we can't sent Jim there, they don't trust humans and at worst case will kill him, before he delivers the message.

Luring the nobles is great idea thou.

>>1015412
Demonic machinery sounds really fucking cool. I want dat shit asap.

I would love if some of our fucked up exploits came to be rumored as exploits of nephilim-gone-bad among the commoners instead of being credited to us. Undermining the following of the "good guys" with lies and frame-ups just makes my demonic heart swell.

>>1015516
We should actually work on that. It may go to our favor

>>1015526
So far we don't have any real heat on us, and it could help maintain that for awhile too. Right now the trembling of a few blessed medallions is our only worry for exposure. I like that.

I want our people out of that prison though...
