You did that just to spite me, didn't you?

And a third of the names belong in Castlevania, the rest lay in either the Incas or the Middle East.

>You are Thrane.

You recline in your nest of bloodied cloth and leaves, watching your Risen and ghoul drag in their catch from the night, a pair of pilgrims in torn robes who had thought to take shelter int he woods.

Your own captures lifeblood warms your belly, a drunken villager making his way home in the dark, his songs had led you directly to him. The trio of corpses are joined by your Revenants catch, a gagged and wriggling smuggler and a dead man in dark cloth with blood crusted along his lips.

You smile ferociously. A productive night.

>Interrogate the smuggler

>Feed your Thralls (who, 4 corpses available)

>raise another pair of thralls (4 corpses available)

>Feed yourself

>>1620829
FYI I would've voted Raziel as a name.

>Feed yourself
>Interrogate the smuggler
Feed in a way that intimidates the smuggler.

>>1620833

VAE VICTUS!

>>1620829

>Feed yourself

Down the hatch, feed and feed. Feeling damnably hungry still. And then

>Interrogate the smuggler

>>1620829
>Feed yourself
>Interrogate the smuggler
Get everyone to feed infront of the smuggler, tearing apart their body and eating it a feral dogs. For the spooks

>Feed yourself

Pulling over a pair of the bodies, the plump villager one of them, you tear into them, ripping their cooling flesh from their bones and shoveling it into your maw. The Smuggler pales as he is forced to watch, his pupils as large as coins as he begins to cry out against his gag.

You crunch bones in your powerful jaws, sucking the tender marrow and then cracking them down like celery. In the end the only remnants are the scraps of meat in your teeth and the bloodied rags on the floor.

You hunch and groan as your body begins thrumming with energy, your veins standing out as your black heart pounds.

>>1620908
We're going to have to prioritize women then when hunting.

WAIT A SECOND.
>>1620876
Is there any livestock around, such as, say, cows?

>Bones it is then?

>>1620934
Sure why not.

>>1620909
There may be in the nearby villages (that you haven't found yet)

>>1620939
We should start sending scouts out to find some, then. I imagine something as big as a cow would be enough to feed both us and our minions.

>Bones- Stature and Slight Strength and Durability increase.

You groan in near agony as your very bones boil. Your limbs pop and stretch, your limbs elongating as the bones thicken and lengthen. Your muscles find new purchase in the elongated skeleton, bulging freshly as they finish developing.

Your spine cracks and twists, the vertebrate extending as your very body is stretched. knobs of bone emerging though the skin of your back, forming small spurs of bone. Similar spurs emerge from the rear of your elbow, a wicked spike of white bone.

You slam your clenched fist into the floor and stand, the cramped confines of the cave forcing you to stoop with your new height as you regard the gagged Smuggler.

>Gained Lords Stature- you stand head and shoulders above a tall man. Only a few would mistake you for a simple human now.

>Interrogate smuggler

>Feed Thralls

>Feed Revenant

>Head out to hunt

>>1620986

>>1620986
>Interrogate smuggler

I think we should also experiment on the bodies. Maybe see if we can have bone thralls.

>>1621102
Skeletons? That would be a possibility. A low level, tireless minion unit that you could possibly upgrade by adding more bones to it.

Damn dude.

>>1621156
>>1620993
>>1620992
And random stuff, how was his day? Are we spooky? Have people been talking about the disgusting and repugnant creatures in the Forrest.

>>1621156
key areas of knowledge:

-local lore: bounties, politics, problems, etc.
-Whats is going on with the smuggling
-hmm...


20 eh? Are we in a position to make this man a sort of stolkholm syndrome living thrall? Just put the mindfuck to him mild style?

>20. Interrogation time. Who are you and what do you do.

Your Revenant slaps the man across the face, bringing him back to the horrific land of conscious thought. Your monstrous mouth is no longer suited for speech (the words coming rough and distorted) so you speak through your tool.

The Revenant and Risens mouths move in unison, your words coming through their voices.
"Who are you. What were you doing when you attacked my servant. Why the secrecy"
You loom close, dragging a claw along his cheek, the flesh parting as if stroked by a razor.

He flinches away, eyes wide in terror
"We-we work for the Black Cat! We smuggle Wolvesblood and Dreaming Lotus into town! The m-mayor forbids its presence so we took over the sale and distribution! Please! I was just moving a few satchels of Lotus seeds into one of our dead drops! Please! D-don't hurt me! Im just a packer! Please! Don't eat me!"
He grows more panicked by the second, pressing himself against the wall to get as far from your jagged grin as possible

>Smugglers use the tunnel to smuggle the Narcotic Hallucinogen "Dreaming Lotus" and the Stimulant "WolvesBlood" into town under the direction of a shadowy leader named "The Black Cat". It seems Youve captured a packer, literally someone who packs the empty bags and leftover lotus seeds to be picked back up by the suppliers.

>Next Question?

>>1621200

Revenant him?

>>1621200
More questions. Do you know who distributes this drugs? Who makes them and who inside if the city is the big cheese
Also, can you lead us to your dealer? If so, you will be protected by us as long as you are useful and DO NOT betray us.

>>1621200
other> can we living thrall him? Otherwise make him into a spooky skeleton.

>>1621214
You could strip the flesh from his bones and turn him into a skeleton and then with a proper application of your blood and a dash of necromancy you can raise him as a Skeleton.

>>1621214
Living thrall? You could for a short time with Willbreaker. You aren't far enough down the domination tree to really make a permanent living minion.

>Anybody else want to vote for a action or are we just gonna stay deadlocked

>>1621258
Fuck it I guess make a skellymen

>>1621200
All we need is just info on who else they work with. Time/place the others would show up.

I don't feel we are the type to taint the drug supply. So just leave soul rip and turn them into a skeleton.

he could be a useful source of income, but that would require human interfacing, which requires a human stature. we may be able to traumatize him mentally, but killing him would make him noticeably different

i say we don't kill him, but intimidate him into giving us a cut, so we have regular revenue

even vampires have a use for money

>>1621318
will breaker wouldn't be appropriate because it only works for a short time and it leaves them braindead

what if it's long enough that he tells the other smugglers that they need to leave X amount of money every week at Y location, and then he dies away from them so they're none the wiser?

if that doesn't work, maybe we can intimidate him and say that if he disobeys us, he will instantly drop dead, we've already displayed that we have supernatural powers so he may believe it

>>1621263
Skellington time. But lets eat his soul first, because that is useful...oh fuck. Yeah.

Rip soul, skeleton, and if there is any benefit to shoving his soul back into his skeleton, that would be pretty cool I guess.

"WHY, WHY DID YOU CREATE ME TO FEEL PAIN?"

You still alive Qm.

>>1621517
Yeah im still here. Sorry I was working on a old machete making a hardworking knife for my mom. So much grinding work. But im back now.

>So the consensus seems to be rip his soul, strip the flesh from his bones and then raise his skeleton as a undead minion, forcing his own soul back into his body. Correct?

>Somebody give a name for this monstrous creature. Im coming up blanks with a name for this

>>1621590
Correct, and Osteon.

>>1621590
Clacker.

His lot in life is to amuse us and suffer whatever indignities we feel are amusing to inflict on him that particular day.

>>1621590
Its safe to say we are begining to have Lieutenants of sorts. A ghoul, a revenant, a risen, and a skeleton.

I maintain we eventually need to kidnap someone who can be a social infiltrator, a beguiler.

>>1621590

For in general? The Stripped, or if to name just this thing. Spookums

Perhaps a Bonewarden? Or Marrow? I'm keen to have this thing rip bones out of the dead and just assimilate them.

>>1621605
I redact Osteon, in favor of: baculum.

go ahead, look it up.

>>1621611

For this one's name, you pick it

>>1621818
Not even then.

>>1621821

Boring, plain and simple. Gotta have some comedy for a grim atmosphere

>>1621841
Get it in the way we treat the living then.

>Picking for you.

Satisfied with the honesty of his answers and believing them to be the extent of his limited knowledge you nod, waving away your Revenant and Risen. Respectfully your minions back away as you take the terrified mans head in your massive hands.

Your eyes glow with a deep, dark violet glow as you channel your dark will. The unfortunate smugglers eyes bulge in exquisite agony as his very being is torn away in strips to feed your ravenous hunger. With the last vestiges gone, he sags against the wall, dead and limp, eyes wide in his last, horrible moments.

>1 Soul absorbed.

You direct your ghoul and Revenant to use their daggers and claws to peel away every scrap of flesh from the Smugglers bones, revealing the red tinged bone beneath.

Skin, muscle,fat, organs, a are deposited in a neat pile at your feet. You pluck the mans warm heart from the pile, biting into it like an apple. Licking your lips and fingers you bite a finger, releasing a spattering of dark blood across the skeletons skull, making sure a drop of blood contacts each bone. With a faint, pale nimbus gathering around your fist you force the mans own soul back into his skeleton as you channel your necromantic power.

The skeleton twitches, fingerbones extending into sharpened shards of bone. The teeth in the bared mandibles sharpen, extending into a jagged grin. The horrific creature climbs to its feet with a faint clatter of bones, a deep violet glow showing faintly in the back of its empty eye sockets.

>1 Bone warden gained. These initially fragile and slow minions can become quite dangerous if given enough... Materials to grow.

>Lost 1 soul. 2 remaining.

>>1621873
>>Other
Whatever anyone else chooses, be an asshole to the skeleton. Torment him for your amusement.

>>1621887
Actually, let's raise up the smuggler's old skin as a minion, too, then have it wrap itself around the skeleton like a zentai suit made of meat.

>>1621873

Step 1
The bone warden gets to rip the bones out of the remaining corpse. The Ghoul gets to eat the meat.

Step 2
>Other: Go out hunting the dangerous animals of the land, no one will miss them, and their meat and bones will be of great use your growing menagerie.

>>1621947
.... What? Even if the skin wasnt already peeled off in strips I don't really see the use of a skin-suit minion. But if enough anons want to do that I may able to do that.

Maybe.

Give the bones to bone warden
Send everyone to hunt

Guys can we try the plague scenario mentioned in the last the last thread

>>1621977
OF COURSH

It's a ways away though, we'll need to start focusing on developing our mind and magic.

>>1621947
I'd rather save that last minion slot for another human that can fill the role of infiltratior. We should try to capture a lady of the night or something.

Getting a minion like that into the city would be of immense benefit to us. A long term plant who can pick off targets, and learn secrets.

>Feed bones to Bone Warden, flesh to the ghoul.

You wave your minions to the remaining villager, the Bone Warden and Ghoul being allowed to feed. The Bone warden shuffles a step too close to you and you idly flick its skull, the hollow bone popping from its neck and clattering into its hands.

It fumbles the skull, nearly dropping it before affixing it and bowing away, jaw working silently.

The Ghoul and BoneWarden crouch over the the final corpse. The ghouls long claws peel away the flesh from the bones, eating almost delicately as it peels and cleans each bone before handing them to the BoneWarden. The skeletal creature affixes them to seemingly random points along its body, ribs and fingers and vertebrate forming a nonsensical mess as the pair feed.

Ghoul could use some more damage

The Bone warden can become our bulwark and get Durability.

>Damage for Ghoul. High DPS build.

Your ghoul shudders softly, hunching its back as its body is forced through a dramatic change. Its talons crack and shift, fingers joining together to great three, foot long blades of bone as sharp as any sword. Its shoulders and arms lengthen and swell, its skin bulging with cords of lean, Grey muscle. Its jaw extends and widens, a thick maw of long jagged teeth poking through the rotting cheeks as they rip and tear away into ribbons of flesh.

>Durability for BoneWarden.

The BoneWarden seems to be arranging its new collection of bones, new additions folded into and merging with its originals. The bones become thicker, its ribs becoming a overlapping shell of bones around its midsection. A collection of tiny finger and toe bones meld and merge into a slight helm of bone, reinforcing the fragile skull. The finished products almost appears to be a set of armor made of overlapping bones. The Warden chatters its jaw in approval before you flick a rock at it to shut it up.

The Revenant snickers, picking his darkening nails with a knife and watching the Risen try to extricate the pebble from the bonewardens eyesocket.

>>1622076

The Ghoul and Risen could use a soul, so they are more useful.

You make your way through the forest along the road, headed towards Sverelfan. Your Revenant tries his best to keep up, leaping over logs and vaulting into a tireless sprint.

The miles of the forest floor melt away under your feet, soil flying in arcs from behind you as you run, your form a blur of speed to mortal eyes.

You skid to a stop near the still bloodsoaked clearing where your Revenant butchered the smugglers, holding up a hand to signal him to stop as he catches up.

You aren't alone here.

>9. You aren't sure.

You crouch onto the balls of your feet, scenting the air and listening, your eyes glowing softly in the dark as you watch for any sign of whatever... Presence you feel here.

No matter how hard you look you catch no sight besides the shifting shadows in the trees. You can detect no scent beyond the forest itself and the rotting blood on the ground. You hear nothing beyond the creak and rustling of tree branches in the wind.

You step out into the clearing slowly, your Revenant following you with a drawn sword, eying the trees. You reach the center of the clearing and look around, feeling highly uneasy.

A figure melts from the shadows of a tree trunk and takes a step towards you, followed by three more, two armed with slender crossbows.

"You the one done killed our packers? Boss was mighty displeased with that. The Cat nearly took his tongue. Well have to take yours"

Your Revenant snarls at the insult and threat to you, drawing his dagger in a free hand.

>16. Deathbolts taste very bad.

You growl, baring your bloodstained teeth at the mans impudence. Moonlight washes across your face and two of the men take a step back, faces paling above their masks as the take in your horrific visage.

"Oooh. Yer a big'un. Ugly too. Gotta tell ya mate, your head wont be fun to lug back but itll look good on me wall!" he cackles, pulling down his mask to grin at you, showing rotten teeth with several gaps.
"Right. Feather these fucks so I can get back to Carlas. Bye ugly! "He cackles again.

A nimbus of swirling, violet energy gathers in your palm before you flick your wrist, the bolt of pure necromantic energy firing straight into the mans mouth. He totters, smoke curling from his mouth and the smoking, fist sized hole in the back of his head as he sags and falls, twitching lightly.

>1. Leeeerrrrooooyyyyyyyy

Your Revenant takes your mental cue, charging forth with a snarl, blades flashing in the light. With his extreme speed he Couldve been upon the crossbowmen before they even processed his movement.

Unfortunately for him one of them had fired in shock as the leader fell, the bolt burying itself in your Revenants kneecap, splitting the bone open and bringing him to his knees. The second bolt slams into his chest, knocking him on his back where he flails weakly.

The crossbowmen rapidly attempt to reload while the remaining sword wielding Claw holds his blade in shaking hands, stepping forward to face you.

One of the crossbow wielding Claws manages to reload and draw back his crossbow, hands shaking in fear at your effortless execution of his leader.

His death is barely even registered by you.

With a flick of your hand as you walk forward you release another bolt of pure death energy, the dark violet spear burning a neat hole through the center of the mans chest, the edges sizzling and smoking as if he had been run through with a red hot poker. He collapses soundlessly, smoke curling from his lips from his burning lungs.

Seeing this effortless dispatch of his companion the swordsman yells in terrified fury, rushing you with his blade held high.

>18. Cat got your heart?

Your clawed fist blurs our, taking the mans life so quickly he takes several more steps before toppling to the ground, a gaping hole in his chest the size of a melon.

In your hand you hold his still desperately beating heart, ragged arteries and tissue dangling from the knot of muscle. You pop it into your mouth and chew happily as you advance on the final crossbowman who seems to be unable to even comprehend the finality of his situation

>Crossbowman is in shock

>Drain him.

>Nice soul, mind if I borrow it

>Crush his skull

>Pin him to the tree with his own sword

>other

>>1622642
>Drain him.
Our minions are getting powerful. We must keep draining and feeding to ensure we are still stronger, should anyone be able to defeat them.

>>1622642
>>Nice soul, mind if I borrow it

>>1622642
>>Nice soul, mind if I borrow it
Gimme dat soul boi

>>1622642
Quickly question him about his boss, where to find him and how many men he has under his control.
Then take his soul.

>>1622642
Nice soul brah.

>>1622650
Pick up the Revenant to translate our gravely voice for us. I just wanna go down being a undead crime lord path.

Rolled 8 (1d20)

>>1622650
Seconding this

>>1622650
You are actually not really capable of speech. Side effect of becoming less human. It can be remedied in time. You are still a fledgling vampire after all. A lil babby. And your speaking minion is laying behind you with a crossbow in his giblets.

>>1622661
Ill allow packing the Revenant over.

>>1622661
>supporting this.

@Cursed: Will a second soul placed into the Revenant improve him or regenerate him in anyway? Like lets say...this guys soul...and his secrets.

>>1622670
If that works then I want to start packing everyone's stolen souls into our Bone warden.

Turn him into a gravelord.

>>1622665

I can imagine when we do develop a voice we sound like the Darkness

>>1622677

Wish I knew how to spoilers

>Who do you work for!

You grab the crossbowman by the throat after snatching away his weapon, dragging him over to where the Revenant is laying, weakly pawing at the Bolt in his breastbone.

You idly rip it out and bite your lip, spitting black blood into the wound where it boils for a moment before sealing the wound shut. Your Revenant sits up, gasping and rubbing his chest. He stiffens as your will invades his mind, his lips moving to your will

"Who do you work for. Answer or feed my hunger"
Comes the Revenant hollow voice

"Uh-uh-uh I-I-uh work for Londus. He-hes a-uh lieutenant for the uh.... The black Cat. Our bosses boss. He uh-he... He runs everything in town."
He stammers, so terrified he never once pulls away from your talons digging into his throat.

"Where can I find him"
The Revenants voice echoes with your interest

"I-I-uh-ive never met the b-boss myself... Um...Londus runs his... His uh operation out of Carlas. They uh.. They sell girls, lotus, wolfblood, booze, everything. Makes the Cat a-uh... A lot of money... Pleas i told you what you wanna know please don't kill me"
He stammers, the scent of urine and something even worse growing in the air as you glare at him

>Soul drain

>Drain him

>break his neck

>Let him go with a message (what)

>Other

>>1622694
>>Soul drain

>>1622694
>Drain him

>>1622694
Okay one last question, where is the normal hang out spot for your gang members?
>soul drain

>>1622670
A second soul in his body would be consumed to fuel a growth similar to feeding. Basically feeding a rare candy and a bag of meth to a Pokemon. He would gain a pair of upgrades or two tiers to a skill he already has. This cost doubles. It would be 2 souls the next time and four the time after that.

>>1622677
Packing souls into the Bonewarden would be a good way to quickly develop his skills but he would still require mass (bones ) to properly utilize the souls into his body.

>>1622694
>>Soul drain
>>1622694

>>1622705
But of course. We should go searching for a graveyard to bring our Bone warden to.

>>1622694
>>Soul drain

>>1622702
Carlas. Local brothel, Alehouse, drug den, gang hideout and front

>>1622694
>Other:
THE GRAVEYARD. WHERE IS IT?!!!!!

Then we souldrain him. and eat the corpses.

>>1622714
Ah, then soul drain, cut off a arm or something for our Revenant to heal then carry the bodies back to our cave.

>>1622705
Would bone meal work for the Bonewarden?

Granted I am assuming that since magic exist here then so does alchemy.

>im commandeering this soul.

You smile viciously, placing both hands on the sides of the mans head. His struggles are useless against your might as your eyes glow a deep, dark violet, a faint blue nimbus gathering around your fingers as his soul is dragged out in pieces. It is funneled down into the depths of your own dark soul where it joins the other wailing souls imprisoned inside you.

>1 soul absorbed. 3 souls total (you guys ever gonna spend these?)

Dragging your Revenant over to a corpse that isn't soaked with urine and shirt you allow him to feed, his wounds healing rapidly after you rip out the crossbow bolt from his knee.

>3 corpses available

>Feed.

>Raise a last minion

>Make your way into the hidden tunnel

>>1622720
Bonemeal would work, it can easily ne found in any graveyard,crypt or herbalists store. Alchemy exists in a potion and poison making aspect.

>>1622724
What I spend these souls on nigga?

>Feed.
then
>Make your way into the hidden tunnel

>>1622724
Exercising another option if available.
>Feed
>Dump 1 soul into the Revenant
>Dump 2 souls into ourself
>then make our way into the tunnel

>>1622734
You can invest them in yourself to improve a spell or your own magical skills, invest them in your body for dramatic changes (a tier change for each soul you use) or invest them in a minion (2 tiers for the first additional soul but it doubles)

>>1622724
Spend souls so Thrane could pass as a human, or disguise as one, and infiltrate Carlas.

>>1622737
Very possible but this will raise the cost of upgrading yourself as it will be dramatic. I encourage anons to be creative as you can literally go for damn near anything as long as its not ridiculous.

>>1622737
We should get two souls but the Revenant should eat a body since he can only eat a little bit he should share with the bone warden. The Risen shouls get a soul being our right hand man and our ghoul gets a body.
>Bone warden gets all the bones and all the milk.

>>1622737

This'll do, use the souls to give us the ability to change into a human form.

>>1622747
Warden is back home, doubt we will be able to drag the bones all the way back, and its gonna be a bit of a hike going into town carrying bones. Sadly we cannot be 100% efficient.

>>1622737
I stand by this, and suggest we upgrade the Revenant to be even faster for both pips.

We upgrade ourself to be better at domination and stealth, as we are sneaking into town.

>>1622750
hoho...hello fellow humans, I am like you as well. This would probably be a good thing for my request of more stealth. As for domination, I am unsure what school of magic would let us rip souls from a distance as an upgrade to our doombolt.

Damn, I wanted to shove those souls into the Bone warden.

>>1622759

Always the next chucklefucks who think they can kill us

>>1622759
Don't worry anon, once we get more kills we get souls, find a grave yard, then we will have our humble bone warden ebolve into a nice powerful grave lord. It'll be nito to see his progress.
>That said we should put magic into him as well, being our mage chief.

>>1622768
A necromancing, plague magic wielding grave lord which can raise it's own skellies and form hordes of plague spreading zombies.

Can this happen, this needs to happen.

>>1622770
Thats the dream anon, we make our Minions our Lieutenants, and they have their own minions someday. We are starting a big evil company.

>>1622772
What I'm thinking is the Risen as our second managing our forces with us, the Skelly doing what this Anon said >>1622770 our ghoul being the lieutenant like a forntline leader and the Revenant being our lieutenant drug dealer in the towns/city

>>1622781
hmm...so we dont eradicate the black cat, we replace it. A good use of our Revenant. We got monsters in the city, and eventually we get our Skelly to the local Graveyard for an extended night of digging. Instead of going all the way home, it just sleeps in the mausoleums.

>>1622801
Yeah basically, we have to have difference bases for different stuff. The Revenant taking over the black cat then soon ither gangs. The Warden making a base in a graveyard specifically for making more skellies, thralls and maybe summoning lesser demons one day. Then us where we focus on making aure everything runs smoothly as well as being the muscle to enforce our gangs influence, the body collected for the soon to be grave lord and to make more minions to raise an army.

>>1622820
Maybe start a cult, I got plans man.

>>1622820
I mean, simply running a gang is pretty small thinking senpai.

>>1622831
A cult however is bigger thinking, that sounds like a plan.

Also qm is kill, I'm going to bed.

>>1623300

Double dubs, but still. ALLLLL BYYYYY MYYYY SEEEEEEEE-E-EEEEEEELF

>>1622740
Can we get more minions if we spend souls? If so we should amass souls and create an undead legion to take over our nearest polity

>>1623346
You can spend the souls to upgrade your necromantic abilities to have more minions. You cannot use the souls to create minions that you do not have the capacity for.

>>1623331
Not anymore
>>1623288
Yes you can

Don't worry Cursed bby, I'm here. Ad quick questions:

1. Are there weres in this world?

2. How would you describe the level of tech?

>>1623381
There are weres. They aren't full moon type weres more like "get bitten and be cursed to be a awful monster for all time"

>Pic related

We should interrogate the next dude we capture about the place we're in, cities around us, who rules it, what they can do military wise. Maybe send a fresh human looking thrall out to get a map.

>>1623381
And the tech level is basic mid tier fantasy. Iron is used a lot, some factories exist using steam and water power, horse is still the fastest way to get around besides airship or boat. Magic exists and is used for a lot of things. Combat mages can wreck your day quick fast and in a hurry.

>No guns
>No cannons
>basic medieval era tech. With a few exceptions

>>1623388
Op cannot into map drawing but I can give you some nearby locations if you askbthe right questions

>>1623391

Is there this world's equivalent to France? Or the Mongols?

>>1623395
There are several nearby nations. You are currently in the nation of Islavind. Nordic culture, colder climate, mountainous, lots of coasts. Capital is Kreslia, major towns are Salkez and Brooktuth. You are outside Sverelfan which is a mid sized town with a large mining and logging industry with a serious drug and gang problem in their town.

To the south is Ceralise. Think a mix of Spain and France. Very haughty, rich country with a fuckhuege military and a powerful church. I haven't really fluffed them out yet but I'm working on it.

To the west is the ocean. Unless you wanna feed on fishes or become a vampire- mermaid....

To the north and north eastern border is Kardielheim. Very cold. Very inhospitable, inhabited by only those too crazy, merciless or hardcore to survive there. Isolated villages and a few small towns but the country is huge. Think Russia with Vikings and a serious hatred of anybody who isn't them. They raid around every few years and get beaten back to their holes. There's a lot of nasty creatures up there though.

To the east and southeast is Geladon. The breadbasket country, they produce a lot of the areas food and materials. This is where you'll find most of the non-human races (elves, dwarves, orcs, Hobgoblins,etc). Just cause these guys are mainly farmers and craftsmen they shouldn't be underestimated. They are currently fighting a massive war with their southern neighbor. And winning.

There's some other cites and villages o need to fluff out but that's a gist of your neighbors.

>>1623411

Bueno, and by Russia. Which one do you mean? Tsarist? Soviet?

>>1623426
Russia in territory consistency and size. Large country with a few habitable areas but those are fiercely fought over by the locals when theyre not murdering everyone else. There is no government, just dozens of feuding warlords and chieftans

>>1623440

I see, so on an unrelated note. Can a vampire eat another vampire? If so, what happens?

>>1623458
Yes you can eat another vampire. The effect is the same as killing them (all the undead under their control will die also). You will gain significant stat boosts and a portion of their power. Vampires are rare, hard to find and most are stronger than you right now.

>>1623475

Alright then, time to get the quest started for the day. I'll hold down the fort until the other anons arrive

>Feed on 2 corpses.
>Give 1 soul to the revenant
>Ingest 2 souls yourself.

This is a total of 3 upgrades to yourself and 2 to the Revenant.

Bueno?

>>1623480

ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO WHAT OP HAS PROBABLY MISCOUNTED BUT NEVERTHELESS SEEMS TO BE THE CONSENSUS OF THIS AUTISTIC HIVEMIND? SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE.

>Feeeeeeeed

You leave the Revenant to finish his meal, the wounded undead eating with less delicacy than usual. He peels off chunks of flesh, wolfing them down as his wounds and bones continue to heal.

Dragging two of the bodies together you tear into them, stuffing fistfuls flesh into your cavernous maw. Razor sharp teeth as long as small knives tear the meat to shreds before it is gulped down. Bones, organs, skin. All is consumed. You even chew down their leather belts, working the tough material in your jaws.

Its not enough.

Reaching deep down inside your very being you draw out a pair of the captive souls. The confused and terrified balls of energy sit in your palms like glowing eggs, desperately attempting to drift away. You idly pull out another soul from your being and toss it to your Revenant, the Undead regarding it curiously. You shrug and toss the souls into your maw, swallowing them down as well.

The effect is instantaneous. Like white hot ice energy burns though your veins, making them stand out as pale light seeps from your maw and glows behind your eyes. You collapse, your body twitching uncontrollably as the massive change is forced through you.

Your Revenant hesitates before following your example, collapsing as his veins glow with a faint blue tinge

Thrane:

>Other (write ins accepted)

Use one upgrade for shapeshifting, put the rest into making us more intelligent

Revenant:

Speed and strength

>>1623525
Skinn then two for magic.
One for better necromancy and the other for Eldrich magic, you know like induce insanity, occult magic and summoning demons and the like
For the Reveant intelligence and the one that makes him more human looking. He needs to be the delegate of sorts for awhile.

>>1623539
Now by intelligent do you mean upgrading your mind which is your magic.

>>1623542
The revenant is already extremely human looking. As long as he doesn't go near any clerics hell be undetectable.

>>1623544

I mean as in making us smarter, have us be able to speak. If it's an over time thing the put them into necromancy

>>1623547
Eh, alright then put the human looking one into manipulation or something to help him trick people or you know, convincing them to do shit for him.

>>1623544
Which magic allows up to control people's mind

>>1623554
I guess gotta come to a compromise.

>>1623554
Shapeshifting will allow you to speak, sorry if I never said that.

>>1623576
Domination magic.

>>1623578

Ah, well I'm voting to get shapeshifting. Then I say throw the rest into fangs and claws since we haven't upgraded those yet

>>1623525
my roll is for whatever school of magic will let us rip souls at a distance. Gotta upgrade that good ol' soul ripping...because, you have HUGE SOULS...RIP AND TEAR. If that takes all 3, so be it. Otherwise I default to the wisdom of the masses for the other upgrades.

Revenant, it would be a sin to not do: speed, speed.

>>1623592
Upgrading your soul Harvest to be ranged would be Necromantic magic

>>1623525
>Thrane
MUSCLES
MUSCLES
MUSCLES
BECOME UNSTOPPABLE

>Revenant
Intelligence and Speed.

Is it odd that I'm now thinking our vampire PC sounds like Big Boss with a peachy Georgian accent?

>>1623595
My request would be to upgrade our necromantic magic 3x.

and our revenants speed 2x.

While magic does not yield dramatic changes right now to our appearance, we can now attempt to just kill all enemies through souldrain and get a healthy starting bonus for ourselves and our minions, as well as any other skills that come from such sorcery.

We would be yielding souls and bodies as the standard for future upgrade resources.

Plus a hyper-sonic revenant infiltrator is kinda awesome.

>Are we decided? Which votes have support

>>1623708
>>1623708
I think that >>1623636
is the only one that came out with two votes.

however if it pleases the people, I am happy to compromise on the aspect of the vampire. So long as we get the nessesary points invested into Necromancy to reliably rip souls from those we kill (auto rip, or distance rip) a point into shape shifting would be beneficial.

>>1623636
I can't fault your logic or dubs, supporting

>>1623784
Nah I'm fine with this, sounds like a good match up to be quite honest. However I think it should be split necro, domination and shapeshifting.

>>1623814
We really need to learn shapeshifting

>>1623839
We also need to get better/more minions, control people and shapeshift, what's level one shapeshifting and dominating get us anyhow?

>>1623846
You already have level one domination

Your magic skills sit at
Necromancy-lv2
Domination-Lv1

>>1623857
We need a pastebin with this shit or something.

>>1623846
The ability to infitrate the local criminal underworld and usurp it

>>1623846
Level one Shapeshift is in the Blood Magic Tree. You can shift your form between a human and "true" form at will but the effect is unstable and if you take damage, are exposed to holy symbols or silver or sunlight then the effect is broken and you revert to your true form.

>>1623857
Alright, so what would leveling up Necormancy, Domination and shapeahifting allow us to do?
>Or you know, we could get a skill ladder of sorts.

>>1623859
Ill get started on a googledoc

>>1623860
On one hand, we could do it ourself, on the other hand with improved necromancy we could have our "LIFE LIKE" tm* Minions do it for us.

My principal argument is that there is only so much of us, and if we have specialized Minions, we can send them out to do the tasks that each of us wants. The Necromancy enables us to progress faster, earlier.

Skeletal horde lord
Rampaging Ghoul Berseker powertrip
Social Revenant infiltrator/ Assassin
Risen...being risen.

The other upgrades only benefit the vamprire. This pays long term dividends.

>>1623860
Alright, how about 2 in shapeshifting and 1 in domination? Then we have a even 2 necro 2 dom and 2 shape on our magic tree.

>>1623898
Goof point, we could install the Revenant as the kingpin

>>1623911
That's the plan so we should dump one of his points in domination and one into speed, but this >>1623898 is locked in correct?

>>1623898
I again argue that the revenant can be our face if we were to begin subversion. By focusing on early resource gathering, and necromatic capability, we become vastly more powerful early on.
>>1623636
>>1623886
And from a story perspective we are left with many avenues due to our minions potentially having a greater degree of autonomy.

HELLO? ARE YOU KILL AGAIN QM?

>>1623961
So then, how would you distribute magic points? We agreed on 3 magic for our thane so now we're talking about distributing between either necromancy, domination and Shapeshifting.
While the Revenant 2x speed is locked in.
>For the love of god can we come to an agreement, I wanna get on with the quest.

>>1623982
No im still here. Just trying to figure out what the hell you guys want to do.

Btw the Revenant doesn't have any magical talent but you can use a point to upgrade him to do so

>>1623987
If it's taking hours you should probably just decide on something, senpai. Take whatever has the most votes and just roll with it after a cutoff, otherwise nothing ever gets done.

>>1623990
Fair enough.

Does
1 point into Blood magic for Shapeshifting lv1 and Leech lv1
1 point into Necromancy for Soul Drain (ranged) and Deathbolt lv2
1 point into domination for willbreaker Lv2 and Dark Master lv1

And dumping both the Revenants points into speed for maximum Sanic

>>1624001
Sure thing, I'll roll with it.
