Afternoon HM

>>1740501
Let's just seal off the cave entrance with a wall of crystal and have it sweep in front of us at the last second

>>1740501
Between us so they don't see us coming.

I click my tongue, turning back to face the wolves as I grip my spear with all four of my hands. Well he's probably going to keel over from all the excitement or just his age. No reason to worry about a man who's about to die on his own anyways. Besides these wolves are closer, and need a lesson in why they shouldn't piss of a mother, or make me feel what I did. Both actually.

But I don't want any interuptions, and I don't want the prisoners getting hurt either. I'm here to collect the souls of these sinners, and well those poor people have suffered enough. My mind is clear right now and it'd all be kind of pointless if I started this rampage because of all the crying children and babies, and then let them get killed in the crossfire.

And that old priest is...well getting stabbed and filled with holy light doesn't sound like it'd be fun.

Swinging my spear, I carve a circle in the air, golden light flying through the rip in it, falling into the floor behind me and around the wolves. There's a loud crackling noise, lighting of strings and measurments flying out of the dirt and stone as it cracks. Walls of golden orange crystals flow up after the, rising up into the air as I cackle

The wolves realize they're trapped with me now, but they don't seem scared. in fact they seem pretty excited at the idea. Greed little gluttons.

"Here comes the" a dry voice sings as the growling and roars start, dust being kicked up as a few begin to rush me with murder on their mind "Here comes the.....here comes the"

Add silverdust and wolfsbane to the reagent

I take a deep breath, my skin swirling with glowing whites, deep greens and bright, attention drawing oranges and golds as I lean back, cupping my upper hands over my mouth as my cheeks puff out. There's a burn in my gut and teeth as the magic begins to mix and spin together inside of me. With a cough I spit it out into a massive cloud, right as the first werewolf reaches me. He manages to dig his claws into my shoulder, slicing my stomach before the magic grabs onto his body. There's a squealing pop as his limbs turn to sand and glass, before they twist around and begin to boil and spark. The squealing turns to a hiss as shards of crystals and pieces bone covered in gold burst out of him. He falls away, as the rest do their best to avoid the cloud of magic that reaches for them. One's fur turns into a pile of bronze leaves, another's leg becomes a mass of brittle and burnt wood. That one falls and gets defiled by all the magic, reaching out as its pack mates stare in horror unable to help him or reach me because of the mire I've just made.

"Here comes thaaaaaaa" the voice sings as I move my hands to wash that swamp of magic of the wolves

"WHO'S SINGING?" I yell in curiosity and annoyance. Looking up at the wall I see a man crouched down behind the werewolves, the alpha turning to see him as well, as he screamed the same thing

It looks like a skeleton with dried skin pulled over it, wearing a shirt that looks like it should be on a woman its showing so much...not to mention its almost as colorful as I am. Strange markings made out of fire swirl over his decayed body, a frayed set of sweat pants blowing around his legs. My eyes move up to the things face as I begin to realize what's written all over him. Dirty blonde hair and an impressive mustache even for a living man sit above a wiry, mad grin and a pair of broken sunglass shine as he raises his one arm.

Wait...why does he have Boom and Explosion tattooed all over his body?

"HERE COMES THE!" He says, cackling madly as he leaps off the wall AND AH FUCK I KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING! "BOOOM"

FAUST!!!!!!!!

I snap my fingers, time slowing as a tock begins ticking in my head. Tick tock tick tock. Yeah I'm not seeing things, he's real. I mean I've seen things that would be crazier but he's just so...strange looking. I just had to be sure. I snap my fingers, a wall of crystals, bronze strips and a layer of pillows on my side knit themselves out of the golden ligths as formulas and measurments for all of it flow from my wrists, going faster than the rest of the time as the skeleton man laughs in slow motion as the alpha werewolf screams just as slowly. I glance up as the curved shield finish itself, and see the withered skeleton breaks a part like a shattering mirror, fire and noise bursting out of him.
-
15+20= 35= success

My ears pop, and time speeds back up as the pillows I made bury me. Shards of the wall cut through them them, throwing up feathers and cotton as I dig myself up and find the werewolves on the ground, the tougher looking and larger ones slowly getting stiched back together by their own flesh, as others cover their ears or missing bits and pieces.

The alpha is barely singed and is glaring at the small crater that was once the...wait did he crack my wall?!

"Wahahahhaha, oh yes a perfect little target I have here, its been a while since I've seen anything that makes for really good shrapnel" the skeleton says as its pieces come back together, crawling out of the wall or putting themselves back together in pits in the dirt or wolves "its such a wonderful sound don't ya.."

He pauses, the alpha glaring at him frothing at his mouth. But he doesn't seem to notice him as he removes the melted mess that were his glasses a second ago, his empty eye sockets staring right at me as his jaw actually drops to the floor

"What the fuck are you!? you look like an acid trip had a three way with Heroin and that one drug that makes you see spiders before getting raped by Pablo fucking Picasso!?" He screams, pointing at me with his one arm "DID I DO THAT? FUCK I knew everyone's a special snowflake nowadays but I ain't ever seen anything like you! GOD YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M SKIPPING IN A FIELD OF DAISIES AND THAT IS PISSING ME OFF!"

"....Alright, this has to be a fever dream, did i eat a drug addict?" the alpha asks, snarling as everything goes still for a second.

Before they remember they're supposed to be fighting and not questioning their missing sanity.

I can't believe I never read any of your other threads since ASQ. I just . . . Stopped for a while.

>>1740882
Look at me. I am the one who has caught up now.

Can't wait until we find Auntie!

"Oh I know I'm a dream, no need to flatter me" the skeleton says shrugging "Now enough talk, lets get back to shaking this earth AND BLOWING SHIT UP!"

The alpha narrows his eyes and punches the skeleton to pieces before he turns around to face me, raising his claw

"Get guns, blast her, stop rushing towards her like fucking idiots" He says calmly "If this one comes back, just grab his bones and toss them"

"Hey" I say, as I begin to hear a weird hissing sound behind me "You know I don't have to be right up in front of you to play with and punish you right?" I say, looking at the blackened souls of the werewolves, milling about in confusion or just trying to attack me, not realizing they've been dead for several minutes

He just snarls, as the skeleton leans over his shoulders

"Your game plan is shiiiiiiiiiit" it giggles, before it gets sent back into the wall where it came from "BUT YOUR SWING IS AMAZING"

A howl rips through the air, making it shiver as I wave my spear like a paint brush, the dirt under the wolves feet melting as the walls grow spike, hands and teethed maws biting at the werewolves as the howl grows louder and louder. The alpha glares at me as his wolves try to get out of the pulling ground, as hands reach up to grab them, and parts of the wall surround the pits I've made around them. Giggling I stab my spear down and.

Did he just throw the skeleton at me

"ROCKET GUIDED FRAUST" It yells, giving me a thumbs up

"SORRY!" He yells laughing all the way as he begins to burn again "Not really though"

I flap my wings, flying to the side and as high up as I can, feeling burning air rushing behind me. There's a sharp whistling, and I fold up my wings when I realize that's the sound of what was my wall shattering into a hundred slivers as well as the skeleton being blasted into dust and sharp daggers of bones again.

Smoke fills the air, as I cover my face. The familiar pain of being stabbed shocks my body as I begin to plummet. Wincing I try to force out the shards with my magic, spreading my wings now that the air is clearer so they won't get all tattered.

"WHAT IN THE DEVIL!?" the old man yells as a skeletal arm shoots up from the rubble

"FRAUSTIMENT" he chuckles "And couldn't you have stood a few feet closer? I wanted to see a little more maiming today"

"ANYONE WHO GOT A GUN FIRE" THE ALPHA YELLS "STAY AWAY FROM THE WALLS, THE ONES IN THE SAND ARE ALREADY OUT OF THE FIGHT OR DEAD"

I agree, and if I were any less stubborn I'd have dropped the name by now. But it's my thing and it's here to stay. It doesn't hurt anyone, so who really cares?

>>1741088
on the contrary, I'd like us to NOT go crazy right now.

The whole point of our fight was to protect people, I doubt we'll be doing that if Chaos takes hold.

And that would just make Mali die.

I mean I want that adrenaline come down and sad demon tears in the rain, but I don't want it from that.

We're already crazy with the boom skelly.

>>1741090
Actually I was going to tease you with the name a bit more, but other people defended you so I figured that if people were having fun I wasn't going to ruin it.

>>1741110
We're actually not. We'd have to activate Cheshire mode. And we've not done that. Nor do I want us too.

Boom Skelly is just another Chaos Demon.

>>1741053
Sooooo

Should we roll some d100s to try and fix this?

>>1741122
No, we got an 89

>>1741115
But CAN we do the mirror trick without Cheshire?

>>1741128
Of course we can. The Mirror ritual was something we got way way back. No need for chaos at all.

>>1741128
We had that long before then. And the skelly is from the first quest, so we aren't crazy right now

>>1741135
>>1741133

Yeah but it's always been described as us going into the mirror world then picking the mirror to come out of so I wasn't sure we could arrange it that way without giving the magic a twist.

>>1741110
Teasing is fun, as anyone who's played Mali can attest. Sorry if I ruined anything for you.

We never should have gotten crazy mode. It hasn't helped us except for the one time we've used it and I never want to use it.

>>1741145
Mirror magic is innate to Mali herself, not Cheshire Mode. Chaos would enhance it's power yes, but it will cause a lot of uncontrollable damage and be dangerous for the civilians.

But...its stained by my black blood. And that gives me an idea, with a drop or two of my own blood, and a quickly made mirror or two! Yes I need two of them and I can turn this back around around my favor. I mean as long as I'm touching the mirror I can open the gate up to that empty world can't I? and then a path behind them....if I can do this I think they might just give up in frustration!

Running my blood soaked hands over the mirror spreading like oil in water in the air in front of me as it grows, the silver back hardening as the mirror itself becomes as a puddle. The sound of splashing echos, followed by the sound of the mirror shattering. the shards follow and I leap over them as the werewolves take aim. I grab one of the shards with my tongue, opening it up. Sticking my tongue inside it, wincing as it gets shot once....twice. I feel the warm ,expanding surface of the mirror behind the wolves, who are too focused aiming at me to notice.

The mirror ripples and shakes as it opens up to a barrage of bullets

"DEMON, VERMIN WEARING THE COAT OF MEN, I HAVE COME TO ANNOUNCE YOUR EXECUTION, LISTEN TO MY SERMON AND FEAR THE LIGHT!"

Howls of pain, the smell of burning fur and flesh, the screams of werewolves turning back to men unable to fully change back as they try to rip the silver bullets of their backs, their eyes wide and mad with pain. Tears and drool flow down their face, their bodies unable to choose a set form as they writhe on the ground, howling and whimpering, their voices changing from human to something that's nearly demonic.

The Alpha stares at me, and suddenly I feel like a mouse sitting in front of a cat, as its eyes change, and its teeth grow crueller and more twisted.

"Mali" Iris' voice echos in the silence the big guy seemingly created, I turn.Her eyes filled with sadness and disapointment. Suddenly everything feels a little less fun as she smiles weakly as the old man stands in front of her, not realizing she's just wearing a disguise even now. He's too focused glaring at the skeleton.

"Hey, you ever wonder what happened to the rest of the flock?" the skeleton says as Iris frowns

"Wait...I think I" she begins to say "I think I know you"

"Begone wretch, I have more important quarries to hunt" the old geezer growls

"Oh you don't know the most famous terrorist of all time? You don't know ME! the man who blew up the vatican for laughs, the man who's been behind oh so many bombings just because he liked the colors! the man who helped end you shitty little guild your forefathers so lov"

Suddenly, there's a light burning in the crosses on the old man's shirt and armor. Iris covers her face, and I put up a wall between her and him with a snap of my fingers, protecting her from it

"Oh I owe you Mali, but before I can reward you we do need to talk about...what you've done here...don't worry you're not in trouble, I swear." Iris' voice rings in my ears "I'm not mad I'm just. I'll explain once we're out of this mess but....good work mali, you've probably saved a few people's lives here even if its made things a lot messier than I planned....so I'm proud of you for that"

I hiss and howl, biting my lip, tasting blood as I Struggle against all the voices in my head and body screaming at me to run away and flee to hell. My skin turns pitch black as it twists with my body trying to flee from the light that's flowing from the man. But I stand where I am, floating on the air.

The smell...it doesn't smell like burning. It smells like wine and boiled water. I gasp and step towards the light.

It flows, lighting up the entire forest. Werewolves howl in pain as I try to stop myself from doing the same. And when the glare finally dies down....for a second I see my upper hands as ghostly and mist like for just a second.

I shake my head, and they're back to normal, and the skeleton is still laughing, black smoke pouring out of the cut through one of his eyes sockets, grinning as he has been since he appeared.

The Old man is standing, the ground under him turned to salt, and the wall behind him nearly blasted away...but Iris is okay, if horrified, her skin turned snow white as the knight rises, barely looking his age. He glances to me, keeping his blade pressed into the skeleton's neck

"Demon....I know what you are...angel rider, mother of the fallen" He says, his eyes glowing silvery blue, the same as Galina's fire or the color alith's eyes were before I saved her "a hunter of angels, a defiler of the same. A broken soul that has embraced the darkness in all the hearts of men. As their blood burns you, so does yours bring them low. BUT I am a mortal man gifted the blessing and power of god! Your power may be greater than mine, but you are not my anathema, but...BUT I WIELD YOURS! I know who you were, and on this day. I shall purify your soul and return you to your eternal reward....and if god be willing, free all the other souls and blessed ones you've dragged down in your hedonism"

"Ahahahah, AHahHahaha, you think...You think I'm scared of you! I used one of your angels as a fucking baseball when I was alive! You might be holding some good shit, but I have nothing to lose, and you have everything to" The skeleton says, flexing his one arm "I'm going to turn this camp into a fucking crater, Also hi lil miller"

"SO I was right" Iris gasps as she stands up, looking towards me as she motions her hands, telling me to listen "You're Mike Fraust right"

"The one and only" He says, giving a thumbs up

"I care not who you are, I will send you to your delayed death" the old man growls

"Mali....distract him if you can. He doesn't know what I am yet...somehow, if you can keep him busy I can come up with a plan to fix all of this" Iris says

And save the people to?

"of course, we might be monsters, but we're not as bad as these Lycanthropes"

"Alright listen here you old weirdo fuck head. You don't know anything about me, or my family, my REAL family, the one I made for myself out of people who hated me for no reason other than I am what I am, like you. I love my daughters more than whatever god made them. All I want is for my family to be happy, and to spread a little fun and mischief around, make the world a more interesting place. I only hurt bad people like these guys, when I saw what happened here it tore my soul to shreds, thinking about what was happening to these people. So no, no one gets to judge me, not you, not the sticks on your armor, and not the bastards who abandoned me to my happiness. So, mr self righteous crusader man, I give you two options: Leave now and think about just how big the world is if you let it be, or keep going through with this and join the family, after a few friendly alterations of course. Assuming my apparent family friend over there doesn't atomize you first."

"So this is what thriving is? Stepping on the poor and the downtrodden. Turning innocent people into nothing but cattle? I've heard stories about people like you. Horrible tales about beasts that would steal you away from your bed if you were bad. Would make you their meal if you entered the forest. Death follows them, ruining all.

And yet I also hear stories about some that are kinder, gentler, capable of rising above their base instincts. To become something more. To become a sister, to become an aunt.

But before me is a monster. And before me are victims, people who bore no ill will. Who went about their days, perhaps in fear. But they lived a life filled with love and family about them.

You. You are destroying families. You are toying with families. You torture families, for fun, not just food. I have seen these people before in my life. Long ago...

"So this is what thriving is?" I ask, not teasingly, or insultingly, just coldly "Stepping on the poor and downtrodden. Turning innocent people into nothing but cattle?"

Our eyes meet again, but there's no fear in me this time, but he backs away as I fully spread my wings, my magic flowing around my body, bring over my armor and covering me like a cloak as it slowly sinking back into my skin and skimpy, revealing armor. He says nothing and does nothing beside growl and bare his teeth

"I've heard stories about people like you, horrible tale about beasts that would steal you away from your bed if you bad. Would make you their meal if you entered the forest. Death follows them, ruining all" I say, as the light flowing from the ancient fossil begins to dim as the shadows in it darken and take on horrifying shape

I can taste the fear of everyone around me, besides Iris and the skeleton. The air around me distorts, my magic beginning to take its toll on everything around me as things repeat themselves, a bird taking flight is pulled down and leaves float back up, some faster than before others much slower.

I tilt my head

"And yet I also hear stories about some that are kinder, gentler, capable of rising above their base instincts" I say sternly, hatefully, a fire burning in my gut as I snarl, my voice sounding like rocks being ground against each other "To become something more. To become a sister, to become an aunt"

A feeling of love and pride washes over me....Iris's. But it doesn't make me smile, not now. I have a rant to finish, and a bad dog to punish


"But before me is a monster. And before me are victims, people who bore no ill will. Who went about their days, perhaps in fear" I say, my voice deepening and echoing from every broken shard of mirror, every shadow, every sugary sweet on the floor of this hell hole "But they lived a life filled with love and family about them"

The wolf backs away, and I casually march up to it, dropping from the sky as I groan in disgust.

"You. You are destroying families. You are toying with families. You torture families, for fun, not just food" I say, my voice cracking with anger, sounding like static, as all the light around me drains away as I walk up to the werewolf have seen these people before in my life. Long ago..."

I stare at my hand, shaking as I can feel Iris' worry for me but also feel a poisonous rage running through my veins, burning them like fire

"And...and I will do anything to try to prevent that from happening" I growl, making the alpha back up, whimpering "And you, Mr. Wolf...you SICKEN me!""

As awesome as the potential to do this is, duel classing will hurt our standing in Hell, and Wrath is bad for a mom to specialize in. But that fact that we can bring one of the Sins into our being just by experiencing enough of it is amazing. And after we're done with the dog:

Well taking out the Alpha is probably the best way to neutralize the rest of the pack.

We can then use the hostages against the priest.

And IDFK about Mike.

I reach towards him, and grin. he winces, backing against what's left of the wall behind him as I flash my teeth, licking my lips with my tongue. It snaps like a whip, splattering some of my ink black blood on my face as I pull it back into my mouth. Still smiling, I twist my hand like I'm opening a door. And one does open, a great door made of bronze, covered in images of sweets, dragons,vague figures in throws of pleasure and joy, motherly scenes and angels falling towards the merriment. Chains of silver wrap around it, slowly unraveling.

They wrap around his legs, as the gate creaks open to reveal a pure blackness. Before...one by one eyes open up, of so many sizes and colors, all focusing on the wolf as hands, claws and teeth reach out with the burning air.

The werewolf shrieks, not able to speak properly anymore, he's so terrified of what he's seeing. He desperatly tries to claw his way away, trying to speak and plead his pack for help and mercy. To save him, but a chain wraps around his throat, burning it as his legs begin to vanish into hell. Something grabs his head, and begins skinning it as black blood and other fluids drip down the carved door frames.

Revealing my mark, and a tiny carving of me sitting inside of it.

We still have important things to do in this plane of existence.

"And so" I say,looking at the werewolf's face as he begins to vanish away "you experience the same fear you bred, burn in hell"

And then I pull the door shut, the chains locking it close as it sits motionless, burning with a soft warmth as I turn to the rest of the werewolves and smile as I fold my wings up and cross my arms

"So who's next?" I ask as they all huddle together, frozen with fear and whimpering as I get my answer

"Me" The old man says calmly

"MIKE FRAUST" the skeleton yells as I can feel him starting to blow again

"Maybe we should kill him first!" the old man hisses angrily

>>1741873
I mean
he did try to blow you and everything else up

>>1741883
Well, he tries to blow everyone up to be fair. And for canon reasoning, he seemed to know Iris and Iris recognized his name, that put's leagues ahead of "priest motherfucker who hurt me and my girlfriend and insulted my family."

>>1741866
Maaaaaaaaan, do we have to end it this early?

I wanted some Mali tears. I got narrative blue balls, here...

I'm glad that we wrapped up the werewolf, more or less. Baskervilles are not likely going to stir shit like this up ever again.

I hope that Iris can end this before battles begin again. I'd like Mali to let the people be on their way and we can search for Marla.

After the biggest, loudest emotional breakdown, that is...and maybe loud enough to catch some children's curiosity, but not to be answered...or by an aunt, who was already watching this go down.

Good thread, HM. I do look forward to next session.

>>1741866
We should really point out to the priest that if we distract Faust, he can save the hostages. Which is the more important thing here, getting revenge or saving people?

Honestly it's rather disappointing if we're a better good guy than him.

>>1741866
It's good to know the old man still wants to fight, rather than to try to get the caged people freed. I'm guessing Iris teleported them back to the castle though, since they are holding us back.

>>1741883
True, but Mali herself said that most of the explosions were for show.

>>1741929
Still, a random stranger blowing stuff up doesn't excuse the fact that they hurt us.

I still can't believe you added my character fetish! SENTIENT ANIMATED SKELINGTONS! BOOYAH!!!!!!

>>1741923
Perhaps dissapointing, but not surprising.

Mali is both the best and worst demon, because of her inherent nature.

It's why I think she SHOULDN'T take these human souls. She HAS done it as a bargaining tool to save people, but for something like this. I think it goes against what she even did this for.

>>1741866
Oh, yeah HM. Is Alice suppose to be Majazal's old human counterpart? Seeing how wrath came up?

>>1741958
>Boons:Old Mind *The old you survived the ritual somehow...and you're practically a human trapped as a demon

From the Character Sheet.

In a word. Yes.

Alice Hiral is her old name, and its also the major reason why Mali is who she is.

>>1741969
I said Majazal, the wrath demon that's overshadowd by her "sister", not Malizeral. I'm referring to some parallels there might be with YMQ and this quest.

>>1741969
No, he means Raz's demon sister, who is like Galina, made of fire but can take the form of a little girl.

As raz and Maja used to be human to like all demons in this setting, but from the timeline where there wasn't a Layla.

But due to hell being weird, they're still around as it doesn't give a fuck about time.

Like the second a demon is born, from every perspective but theirs, they have more or less been around. Which is why MM has knowledge of mali, because she has always been in his book.

Demons are weird

>>1741990
And Maybe, I could see it.

I mean I have done parallels before
like Iris and the countess of bats from ymq

>>1741918
Sorry.
I thought it'd be a nice cliff hanger.

>>1741999
So is Jenny Madam Pomp's alter ego, just somewhat younger and fitter?
Is human Kelly Raz's origin, and at somepoint before she adopted a girl similar to Alice as a sister?
Perhaps, that beast wolf raz wanted the guards girl to eat was Juniper. And said guard used to or is currently working at that fancy restaurant?

>>1741999
Ah, I see.

For what its worth, I kind of prefer Mali to just be who she is now. Without other parts inside her head.

She has enough trouble with just herself. Remember the three(maybe four now, who knows?) headed dragon.

>>1742030
So long as we get sad demons in the rain after its all over. Honestly that would do more to win over the priest than anything else.

That and Iris PoV, I want guilty bat tears.

She can't be holding up to hot after seeing this, even if her mind is all for planning to get out of this intact.

>>1742055
Well they're separate things, its just that demons generally don't feel much besides their base sin, and when one does they might become twin sinned.

Maja and alice are similar in some ways yes
But butterfly effect is a bitch, and even if they are the equivalent of eachother in two different "worlds". They aren't anywhere close to the same person.

Its like saying miles morales is peter parker, really.

>>1742071
Of course the rare demon like mali is the exception, but they still can become twinned sin by excessive sinning of the other types

>>1742073
Well, I would like to keep us more...ourselves, you know?

I mean the old mind boon kinda makes it a bit thrilling, because of the amount of other emotions Mali has because of it.

Also, given anon's fervent need to keep expanding the family/cast...A certain other sin is more likely than wrath.

Still don't want twin. Chaos is a good enough twin.

What are the normal undead races?

>>1742180
There are
Starting race
Advance race *need to be unlocked, and then you become them*
Super advance *What happens when you mix two of the above, like the Castussimex, which is Hiver + redeemed, two advance race only Tainted can achieve, basically an angelic Moff person)

>>1742184
Tainted can Technically be undead/ on their way to be one

But usually people just become one with other races as most people who played tainted would aim for the restricted races they can become

Demon
Dire
Hiver
Moonborn
Mutant
Eldritch
and Redeemed (very few play this one)

as that is kind of the feature of the tainted, letting you play as "monsters", so that also means most people who make tainted don't try to get the fairy advance raceeither

In terms of the game before the quest starts at least

But then that just feels like a repeat of the last quest...

>>1742227
Then just wait to become undead.

Since they aren't....ya know regular citizens
Which is why they're all advance

And tainted have a large amount of variety.

Krovy was a demon type, but you there are plenty of other looks they can have, which would change how they're treated/ what they change

>>1742235
So a skelly tainted instead of demon tainted? That's amazing!

>>1742238
Yeah
you could be afflicted with the vampiric curse
or filled with bad necromantic energy.

its just people prefer other tainted types cause....well if you want undead at an early level, go reaver and just shit out a fuck ton of undead. And because the community generally thinks other types of tainted look cooler since undead are so common due to them being summon/craftable by reavers

Tainted are usually made with the idea of

"I want to become an eldritch abomination"
or
"I want to become a fuck huge man eating monster"

Becoming undead is something any race can do, so people who play tainted dont go for it as...you have so many other options.

Fairies however are pretty good spell casters cause they get more bonus mp than any other advance race and a new type of magic.

>>1742253
Yeah, but then we can trick people into thinking we are really weak as a low level skelly summon.

>>1742167
Just noticed that tainted says it has a larger race tree twice

>>1742235
Was the kid Korvy talked to in the forest a fairy? Also would be nice to aim to get administrative access, or find some coding we could mess with to use alternate settings that were removed before release. Or negate the level system so fighting higher level npcs/players is based more on skill.

You know, we don't use time stop to it's full potential. We could just donut people with our spear while they can't do anything.

Hey HM, since you are still up, would there be any mechanical difference between demon and skeletal tainted? Being that one is humanoid and the other has no flesh?

>>1742708
Tainted are on the verge of becoming monsters
Ergo the name.
Undead tainted would be caught on the lip before true undeath. not be skeleton man tm.

As they would be brought back from the brink of death, but be tainted by....taint/corruption, or poisoned by it in the first place.
And choosing what type you are doesn't lock you out of the other types, as the first infection....say you ate hiver or drank ones blood, you'd begin turning into one being tainted by them. But say you start eating people, then you'd slowly just naturally become tainted until you became a dire, you wouldn't be forced to become a hiver. But once you've become fully tainted, you usually cannot change it.

Certain advance races can mix, some take planing, others just need you to unlock both.

To become skeleton, you'd have to become a zombie, which are honestly more of a punishment than anything else. Or a lich, which I still need to stat out

So I got my hopes up for nothing...

We can still make skelecopters anon. The world isn't entirely dark.

>>1743309
We can do that if we go reaver, but why control skellies when you can be one?
