Unfortunately: while you're aware of the existence of Nuckelavee and even saw a dead one as a child (a deader one- a cleric had killed one in your hometown and brought the body in to be burned) you're ignorant of the specific process and ritual to make one.
For now, though; you clean out the body, refresh it with a little herb rub, and then cast ONE spell on it: Teratoma, to regenerate and reconstruct the soft tissue you gutted from it for that Grave Robber chap. It's then placed into storage with the rest of the stiffs.

It's sadly a no go.
While this tyrannical heat reminds you of your Amazon friends you met nearly a year ago- you're unable to Seance them. Maybe it's the heart? But most likely because they're just too far away.
You do get a hold of your other favorite mountain of visibly-female muscle: Butcher Demon. Which is good because you hadn't heard from here in.. Well, weeks actually- perhaps even a couple of Months. She can't chat for long, but she's more or less been in the Rotwood: not in Copse mind you, but the greater Rotwood- on a quest of sorts to Scholomance and beyond in search of power, treasure, and her own amusement.
"I'll bring you back something." How sweet of her.

>Let's chill out and go exploring in our Dungeon for a day or two. See if the mammoths or hydra have seeded the dungeon and if there have been any other developments

With those few chores out of the way you figure you take one or two more looks around the neighborhood to make sure everyone is self sufficient and happy. For the most part.
Annie packs your bags (with plenty of treats n' eats and all the essentials) and you go on a little joint camping and research trip into your Frozen Cavern Dungeon to see if summer has had any affect on the paranormal biome.

This place is quietly becoming it's own little world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzhOnSFcfQg

Normally the wind that blows from the caves comes out at you sharp and biting; cutting right through your body, but with just how unbearably hot it is outside the Caverns are actually quite pleasant. They're maybe -10? -15? Still quite cold, but definitely having 'their' own summer as well: birds chirping, deer prancing, fairies a buzz, a river has formed through the complex connecting the well entrance with the whole area.

How dare you. No matter what people say about them being gypsies they're still people, and we have the responsibility of protecting them from danger so long as they abide by our rules and stay in our domain.

Speaking of changelings, did we give them Ice Golems? We really need to make a bunch of endothermic fire powered golems so they can bypass the issue of heat and thrive off of it.

>Look for an appropriate tooth for our robe.
>Roll 11- Weird, but good.

Scouting out the highs, lows, and the various snow banks n' crannies you know somewhere there's an animal with a tooth- a long tooth for that matter- that would be perfect for your robe.
So what has 'long' teeth? Do they mean long individual teeth like a Dragon or Dinosaur? Or something more like a Tusk? More cold animals seem to have tusks: Trolls can have tusks but none of them seem appropriate. While Tigers have more of a sabretooth.
-After much deliberation with yourself you realize the missing ingredient is a Mammoth Wraith Tusk. You'll need to find the highest quality one though.

>>2725450
>bring along some Rothides and maybe that spellcaster Hobgoblin and do a search of the Dungeons for anything interesting that may have developed
>Roll 8- Low oddities, a little bad.

A little mid-way into the week you get a bit lonely and a bit unsecure, so you call down your Rothides and that one Hobbo- the one who knew a little magic to come keep you in safe company while you get a measure of his abilities and maybe look around for something interesting that may have popped up in the now much larger caves.
The Hobgoblin Caster isn't anything to write home about: he's just a simple Mancer, capable of wiggling one of the basic elements around- specifically wind/air in his case. The two of you make for idle but awkward chatter as he tells you he used to predict the weather for his Orcish masters before he read them wrong one too many times and they broke his wrists and sold him back into slavery. Huh.
You take a moment to sit down with him and use Dark Ring to fix the small, shattered-but-poorly healed bones in his wrists; using Dark Ring to reconnect and put them back together proper. The Hobbo is quite thank- What the FUCK is that. [/b

The two of you spot a small, blueish-white furred, long-eared, creature nibbling vegetation. You order your Rothides to shoot it and bring it to you.
It's a Rabbit. What the fuck is a Rabbit doing here.

>>2725462
>Hang out near the entrance so we don't get too hot or too cold. Patrol for problems.
>Roll 14- Good, you identify the heck out of some problems.

Rabbit. You found a Rabbit in the dungeon. You immediately end your adventure and high tail it out of the Dungeon and order all of your minions to survey the area for any further oddities or abnormalities.
Avarice comes back (Eloy would have, but it's summer and he has to hide in the basement 'till nearly 11pm; much to his annoyance) and reports the following:
-The Changelings are still arguing over which God they should build a shrine to in their new town. Eloy yells out from the basement, "Just build a shitty multi-cornered temple to many Gods like they do in the east and be done with it already. God damn."
-One of your Hobgoblins brings you another Rabbit. What the hell is the meaning of all this?

I still don't know what the issue is with the rabbits, but let's order some Ice Golems, Hobgoblins and Rothide Zombies to hunt some rabbits when they can....which looks like they'll do regardless of us asking us or not...
Then let's go build that multi shrine temple from last thread using Nyx, Scylla, Verminus, Typhon shrines and any other shrines the Changelings can think of.

You've got the following goals more or less:

You can't be bothered with any of this nonsense. You have to deal with the Rabbits and that's that, so you micro-manage the temple building job to the one person who can actually take care of it.
Annie!

You're temporarily Annie
Master has put you in charge of supervising the Doppler's construction of the communities religious center. This is because he is currently indisposed with his rabbit paranoia and the other members of the staff are either too uneducted (in the case of the Hobgoblins) or are unable to operate religious iconography (Eloy and Avarice), so that leaves you, Annie, to the task.
-The Changelings luckily do not find your presence too offensive and actually listen to what you have to say on behalf of your Master. They're pleased that they'll be permitted a temple, but it seems the idea of having to 'share' it is something of a monkey's paw to them. Funny.
-There are no Priests or Clerics among them and according to them (you wouldn't know) one needs an anointed Idol to officiate a temple as a genuine site of worship. You ask the crowd if anyone has anything that might be able to fulfill this condition and three Changelings donate their treasures begrudgingly: a copper Scyllian bracelet, a small ring made of iron honoring Apopep & Apophis, and a scyth to Hemera- now, you actually know that one, she's the corn god.
You also show them the Verminus Idol- they luckily don't seem offended, they're fine with the worship of the toilet god. Okay, well, she does other things besides bowel health.
-The temple goes up without much further problem and if anything the whole event brings the community together. It's honestly a little nostalgic since you remember hosting a couple of rural church raisings when you were alive: you and the women fixing up a big community dinner while the men get everything sorted.
What a lovely afternoon, you hope the Master is having a good day as well.

>>2725561
>Whats the big issue about rabbits?
>Roll 10

Your staff don't get it- Avarice and Eloy both don't understand. They are ignorant and unaware of the otherwordly threat of Rabbits.
You tell them under no vague or uncertain terms that Rabbits are not of this world and that they're from the moon and must be exterminated with extreme prejudice before they have time to spread and take over.
Avarice and Eloy remain skeptical, "Where.. Exactly did you hear that from, sir?"
You tell them your Mother used to read you a story book about it when you were young- this is the first time you've ran into them and you won't make the same mistakes the people of the past have.

Avarice tells you he'll get right on it, "don't you worry sir- it'll be my top priority. You don't worry about a thing, alright?"

Oh ho ho ho damn would that be expensive as heck. Sure, the cleaver could be a combination of carbon steal and magic wood, but even if the Cold Iron is secluded to just the blades edge it's gonna be a little priced. How about something cheaper like carbon steel gauntlets?

Hey after we make the perfect frost troll, we can outfit it with custom form fitting armor that's not a collection of shields and other metal things, give it a bunch of horns, Then give it Yhorms big cleaver.

While you're in the caves you may as well do a little Draconic Research and development: you're casually interested in FrostWyrms, RotWyrms, really any sort of awesome, cool, radical, Dragon-Monster that could be serving you- oh, right, you need to mail Archie that Triceratops skeleton.
You notice the Slibinas that's been living in here hasn't multiplied yet, but he has been growing: leaving behind claws, teeth, shed horns & fur, and scales behind as he grows larger and larger. Maybe you could.. Seance some of this to better understand it's properties? The last thing you remember was palming a pristine dragon scale before everything being dragged off into a vision: flowing down a river entirely of dragons through a primitive landscapes rife & toiling with savagery and primal inspiration that sets your heart ablaze.
"What wretched filth tampers with my spawn- Oh..Oh.. One of Hemera's little foals! " You're overwhelmed by a presence that draws out a hot, burning, impulsive animalistic side of you- gnashing your teeth, swiping your claws at the air.
"I always thought her designs were so uninspired, but I will admit I love your species pension for.. hollowing out corpses and wearing them. So visceral and beautiful. I'm happy to see you're not extinct. Her words do not reach you- here ethereal gaze drives you further into an irrational heated frenzy.
"Hhmmn.. You don't like Auntie? That makes me so sad.. I had so many gifts I wanted to give you...Ah well, I'll put you back- maybe just a few gifts, though."
You wake up still in the Ice Cavern: a 30ft radius around you has melted into a soft jungle space- all of the scales, teeth, horns, and scraps of fur have regenerated into small dragon whelps that have scurried off into the dungeon.
You're a little aroused and in noticeably far better physical shape despite being remaining so lean and scrawny.

You quickly capture one of the Dragon Whelps scurrying away- leaping over and grasping it firmly with both hands. It's maybe a bit smaller than a house cat and physically it reminds you of an odd combination between a fat gecko, a green anole, and maybe a ferret: fat in the middle, fat tail, very squirmy, and a flappy head. You're quick to place it in a wooden cage as the creature insists on screeching and hissing when held.

you feed the feather shadows
it revives the shrike right?
and it weakens people??

>>2725973
Yeah but.
of all the things. A fly swatter? Why not ask to get people to lend their shadows? Heck maybe the Rot monk (fml I can't remember the twin's names) can accelerate his growth, though I doubt she would be happy to revive the guy that doesn't like undead.

>>2725973
I wonder if we could weaponize it against the insect knights to sap their strength

>>2725979
That would require getting within their swinging range for us to do that, which would be a bad idea until we find a way to either restrain them, severely debilitate them, or knock them out long enough to drain their shadows. i thought the forest hill billies would be interested in reviving their old lord.

>>2725913
FUCK I FORGOT! Let's bring some good to trade with them. We want lots of demon juice/milk, a daily trade of meat to feed captured trolls and dragons, maybe even a horse if they can manage.

Maybe if we have enough Shrike flesh or feathers to work with we can make a magical Shrike feather dagger? Super penetrating arrows with Shrike feathers attached to them so the feathers will go past the body and hopefully reaches their shadow?

The whelp (while noisy) is a subject of interest to you: the big lady from your vision made them out of all those dragon pieces and while many scurried off to go be.. dragons(?) you've still got one left.
Curious if you can replicate the effects of that first contact you pick up the Dragon Whelp- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YTO6wus8s0
Eloy finally wrestles the creature out of your hand, "What the hell are you doing?" and Avarice quickly places it back in the box. What? What happened? What is the meaning of this- "You've throwing a fucking tantrum for like 5 minutes! If Eloy hadn't told us what to do you might have been stuck like that!"
You're confused, but Eloy sits you down and Annie gets you a snack -you're violently famished- "Have you felt any different lately? Hot flashes perhaps? Hallucinations?" Yes, actually, when you fondled some Dragon parts the other day.
Eloy doesn't want you touching anything Dragoney for a while. He believes Tiamat is trying to corrupt you. This isn't entirely an unreasonable conclusion: Humans haven't worshipped Dragons since Caveman Times- Tiamat may have been genuinely pleasantly surprised to see one again.

>>2725949
>Also see what he knows about them in general.
>Freebie.

You'll leave Eloy to it for the moment while you deliver a few goodies to the commune: Archie will make your fancy robe, you don't trust Hags.. And don't want any favors or debts out of them either... Also you've got some Dinosaur Bones to deliver to him!
Headin' on down to the Commune Archie is surprisingly relaxed and in good spirits- he's in even better ones when he sees you unloading a number of crates with Ceratops bones for his collection. "Oh, Caster, thank you- that's very thoughtful, this will look excellent in my collection." You ask him if he'd work on your robe and he says he'd be honored... You also ask him about his.. Rather cheery mood?
"Oh, do I seem cheery? I suppose since it's finally summer and the moon has shifted away far enough that I can finally get some decent star gazing done- you see, during the rainy season Nadia, our moon, tilts too close to our Brun's orbit causing tidal exch-" Moe interrupts, smoking in the Arcanum once more, "Helloooo Father- Ohhhh.. Hello my little Hominid, you're looking rather taunt?"
Moe pinches your little biceps and you squirm: he is then kicked out for smoking, but not before dragging you off with him.

Moe still holding your hand walks with you- finishing his cigarette while the evening and the red summer sun begins to hang low over the walls of the Commune. The two of you talk, but things don't really heat up 'till you start talking about your various projects.
He loves your monster week, but he's excited about your Troll and takes you to his Arms Workshop and Forge.

>>2726059
>COOL WEAPON AND ARMOR IDEAS AND RESEARCH WITH DUDE MOE.
>LEMME GET A HIT OF THAT SHIT YO.
>Roll 51- Average, but you're rolling at a huge advantage.

Moe's Workshop would make a Dwarf proud and an Orc blush: it is simultaneously as methodically clean & proper as you've come to expect out of Homunculi design, but the level of WEAPON and ARMOR and GUN are just outrageous. The only thing out of place here is three ashtrays piled high with butts and Moe's almost juvenile excitement towards discussing and workshopping weapons.
"Homunculi can just have their flesh shaped and molded. I only ever get to design equipment for foreigners, tools for our laborers, or Alpha's personal equipment." He sweeps off his table and the two of you exchange notes.
Looking at your Troll he thinks the best thing for it would be a prosthetic
-Moe could design a large morning-star ball mace that could be shot out as a projectile and then pulled back in and used as flail. "I could even make it out of cold iron since it's got minimal moving parts. Just a simple wrist trigger and a reel. "
-Just a big fucking cleaver. "Nothing complicated. Sometimes the classics are the best- Archie says you know a Demon that uses one? I could copy that and upscale it."
-An ugly Orc-Wrought revolving hand cannon, "You'd have to come back to me for custom ammunition, it'd only be able to hold 4 shots in the barrel, and you'd need to go in and alter the Trolls elbow and shoulder so it doesn't blow up, but it would be... Beautiful and Devastating. Fuck."

>>2726074
>>2726060
>>2726077
>Flirt with Moe.
>Bad, but then really, really good - really LUCKYY as a matter of fact.

Moe is obviously quite excited, so, naturally: you try and take advantage of the atmosphere and with your silver tongue let loose a charming flirtatious remark.
You tell Moe you'd like to drive him a bargain so hard he'd feel it before he was born.
Moe isn't entranced by your word play, but you still end up railing one another on his work bench. Just a quickie.

>>2726079
>Pray to Tiamat
>Roll 18
Laying across from Moe- idly prodding and toying with his soft bits while he smokes.. You'd like to thank Tiamat for gifting you a hot lean bod.
Sadly, Tiamat can only be prayed to if you're in physical contact with a Dragon or Dragon part and the only thing you're in physical contact with is... Homunculi cock in one hand (Third most hung person you've been with you'd reckon) and a pectoral in the other.

Inbetween a bit of physical & oral foreplay here and there you ask Moe if you could cut off both the Trolls hands: one for the Gun or the Chain & Ball and the other for traditional weapons that could be replaced or exchanged via attachments.
Moe confides in you, "Hearing you suggest that sort of thing has a lot to do with why I let you get this far." holding your bow in his mouth, he ties your hair back up and the two of you clean up and get decent.

>>2726201
>>2726184
>Rumor mill and trade routes.
>Roll 17- Luckyyy

Gathering your things, Moe lights a cigerette, escorts you out, and shoos you away to go play in traffic before locking himself in his workshop. You hear the forge and the equipment churn to life.
Guess you'll go see whats going on in town- it's, like, maybe 9? 10'ish? The night is still young. Lets get some info:
-+You successful negotiate a basic trade agreement with the Gnomish company that operates here. They weren't even aware your village exists- "It's so close to the Rotwood and that Beewoman Hive never wanted anything. We'd be happy to vend our goods to your community." Bam. Done.
-Alpha is unfortunately busy on some secretive covert op, but #72 and #16 are off duty and available to catch up with. They've been busy with a lot of domestic matter: trade and tourism mostly.
-There is one Gnomish Man who is going off on a tangent about Rabbits and Crop Circles. He is escorted out of the Mess Hall...You.. You kind of want to know what he's talking about, but don't want to lose face in front of the other Homunculi who find him disruptive.

>>2726208
>Seance the Shrike feather and see what happens. I wonder how we get spiritually stronger.
>Roll 1.

Well you don't have to worry about it because the Shrike Feather eats your shadow. Not all of it, but enough to leave you a pale, emaciated, husk of yourself that needs to desperate medical attention.
You're laid away in the Infirmary at the Commune for a week and lucky to be alive according to Archie, "That feather ate nearly your entire shadows mass. You're lucky you were standing up when it happened as your shadow was stretched out much longer against the setting sun." You... Ask Archie if you may... See the feather? He lets out an irritated, tired, sigh, but he does let you see what has become of the feather.
He presents you a glass share with several paper seals written in silver ink keeping it contained inside.
The feather has grown from a cube of flesh to maybe 10 pounds of vaguely moist, flexing, crow-meat.
Neat.
#72 having been at your bedside the whole time slaps you -confident that you are finally well enough to be slapped- "That is not 'neat', you had us worried sick."

>Go around the Commune and try to collect shadow donations to revive the Shrike.
>Roll 6- Too low.

With the glass case in your possession you immediately open it, break the seal, and begin placing different items in it: Vase? Nothing. Flowers from the Vase? Shadow sucked. Apples? Shadow sucked. Hospital food? Shadow sucked. All of it withers away to the same sort of black ash you make when you burn something with a shadow bolt- difficult to understand, but it definitely 'ends' them.
#72 finally returns to the room and slaps you again then redoes the seals on the jar. "What did I tell you?" ...She then feels guilty about slapping you and does that sort of upset, but happy you're okay petting.

>Ask Archie for more information on safely working with the Phylactory Machine.
>Roll 12- Above Average.

Archie seems confused, "Did I not leave you with a user manual?" You...Shit, did you lose it? You feign ignorance.
-Archie Explains that the Phylactery device is a machine that can be used to steal and repurpose Mana from living things.
"That may sound... Invasive, but it's not too different from what Trees do naturally or even the Philospher Stone herself does manually. It's all just the conversion and recycling."

>Talk to Archie and the Philosophers Stone. Request cloned material
>Roll 18- Good, really good.

When you're all healthy you get dressed and head on down to the Arcanum. Archie has a lecture prepared ahead of time for you and wants to remind you of maybe not dicking around with the Unseelie shadow parasite you've got in a glass jar- Naw, naw, you want to see the Stone.
She is just as unusual, gorey, and bubbly as you remember. Unwrapping her body from the heart-like mass of flesh she's coiled herself around she slithers over to greet you, taking a rather doting and familiar tone, "You needed an AWFUL lot of my blood to get better, but I'm delighted to see you took to it so well. So flush, so happy and healthy~" You.. Hhmmnnnn.. You don't want to touch her. She's nice, but she's wet.
Maybe her hair- nope, it's all waxy. "I see you've grown some new additions.." she extends her hands, several other smaller limbs can't help but begin sprouting from her wrists like ivy- eager to childishly fawn over your hands as she palms and inspects your 'claws' quite thoughtfully. "Natural Thematic Adaption. Marvelous. Beautiful." She eventually relinquishes your hands- albeit a little hesitantly.
"I'm sorry cutie, what is it you wanted?"
You tell her you'd like her to clone a substantial amount of carrion bird flesh, she nods, her upper... veins? tubes? Shivering in response, the noises of machines and fluid moving around upstairs "Archie will have that ready for you in a bit. Now, do you think you could do me a favor?" She motions back to you.

"Do you.. Think I could... Have a look at your body? I.. Could have if I wanted to, but that would have been very rude."

>Yes, but you want that Changeling Blood.

"Hmn.. Humanoids are still a little tricky, especially Dopplers, but if it's just blood I think I can manage a few dozen liters.. " You hear a little more noise, but this time louder; the room physically straining and flexing far more visibly as her ventricles and veins start pumping and doing a bit more of the grunt work than was required when you had her just make bird corpses.

"Right then, strip and lets have a look.." A clone of herself slithers and congeals out from beneath the blood below and spreads itself out so you have.. You suppose 'someone' to lay on while she examines you.
She explains her reasons while she carefully inspects your body. She's not doing this spur of the moment or just to be impulsive: the commune has physical and genetic records of you spanning a full year now and the Philosopher's stone is interested in both your mundane growth and paranormal mutations. She has a look at every little thing and while it's unusual to experience what it's like as a 'subject'.... It is oddly relaxing.

"Hmn.. I'm noticing a slight discrepancy I wasn't expecting. Someone has altered how your body metabolizes.. " She realizes you're not as literate as her 'husband'.
"Ah, uh, somebody made it so you're all muscly without doing anything. Does that mean anything to you?" You tell her >>2726370 you had a brief exchange with Tiamat.
"Aahh..That's very interesting.. Good example for case study, should copy for my own work.. Ahh..Just a Standard Divine Gene Therapy for Aasimar progenitcs Junk d- HhmmmnnHmmn... She turned on your caveman genes so you'd be a big boy." She has a habit of slipping in and out of talking to herself.
Huh.

When she's done she lets you get dressed and sees you out safe n' sound, all of her various appendages and doubles waving "bye bye~!"
Archie is waiting for you in the medical ward of his lab upstairs: he's finished draining some of his glass containers and he's got a number of white wax-sealed and labeled crates made out of a kind of firm but soft organic material ready for you.
"I've labeled them for you so you don't forget: this ones carrion birds, this one is jars of doppler blood- don't get them mixed up." You thank Archie.

First, he can confirm you're stupid, "As for the manual I'll have a look around.." He finds it on your work desk underneath several dozen other texts, medical reference diagrams, and two half-finished math work sheets. Well that's a relief.

>Cloud and Golem your goodies back home.
>Roll 13- sUpErnAturAL good.

You don't tell Archie you had the manual the whole time, you instead focus on delivering these goodies home- Archie still observing, quite interested in just watching what you do. You ask him about that while you shuffle a few Dark Mana Shards from your reagent pouch and begin rolling a pair of Snow Boys. "You seem to improvise a lot of what you do, so it's genuinely interesting to me: someone who does everything by the book." Hmn.
Either way you roll up a few medium sized escort boys- Archie takes a few handfuls of snow to inspect- before you load everything up on a black evil little cloud and send them off home.

One moment- third action is communing with Verminus

>>2729074
I like this. I like your taxi service idea. I want to discuss more about this.

SO. If this taxi service is exclusively for Copse then we should be fine, with minimal chance of people attacking the taxi service skeletons.
The Cloud spell is great since the skeleton can just remove the clouds from under their feet if someone tries to attack it. The Ice Tomb is also great to keep people from attacking it as well. Since I doubt the skeletons can cast the heritage version of the spell, they could transport at most 4 people, and might require a gnome or two human skeletons to safely transport caravans.

>>2729088
Let's shave some dark flakes and make some fist sized round boys for Archie to play and study with. While we wait we might as well continue to study to we can math goodier.

>>2729074
In addition to the Skelly taxi service, what about some form of ice cream carriage truck thing? I've been meaning to figure out how we can sell and distribute our ice creams. The Gnome caravans certainly help a bit, but I feel like we could accomplish more.

>Commune with Verminus.
>Roll 54, 90- Average, followed by High End Success.

Your previous encounter with Tiamat has made you curious about potential interactions with other Gods- you wouldn't necessarily consider your interaction with Tiamat to be 'negative', but that's just in comparison to how Scylla typically treats you... You've got a Graphic Idol of Verminus in your pouch.
You ask Archie if he thinks there's a decent place to pray around the Commune, "To Verminus? Try the abandoned Irrigation Pipe out back- where you evicted those Goblins from." You.. What? "Verminus is the.. Sanitation God, right? That's where they'll be."

While skeptical you do as you've been suggested: heading out, down, around, through the back of the commune and underneath the ledge where it borders the industrial park- with the Goblins gone a small murky pond has formed in the area.. It's not dirty, but, well: atmosphere is everything.
You place the Idol on the edge of the large pipe and....What does Verminus like? You'll get down on your hands and knees- just full on manners.

A kind of murky, pungent, odor of pond scum and copper invades your senses before it's replaced by a sweet and pleasant scent. You hear shuffling, splashing, squelching of wet flesh echoing.
Someone prostrates themselves? Before me of all Gods~? How... kind. You don't feel particularly overwhelmed. There's a certain underwhelming stillness to them as if they're holding back.
What could I do for you... What do Humans like... You feel a kind hand gently rub your lower back. You had no idea how much your stomach had bothered you until just now- because it doesn't anymore.

And just like that they're gone. No fanfare. No Demands. You're not even sure what they did to you, but you had no idea you could feel this good before- it's as if you'r bodies been dragged it's whole life and now it's skipped straight to floating. What the hell did Verminus do?

Okay, well, as much as you hate to be that guy: you feeling amazing probably means something is different, so you're just gonna go ahead and pack up your Idol and go ask Archie & The Stone what exactly happened. Take the guess work right out of this.
They have interesting news.
The Stone is excited to have a look at you and even more thrilled when you ask her if there's anyway she can have a look.. Inside.. To see what exactly Verminus did to you. The Stone has to think about this, "I usually just cut Archie and the Girls open when they need a full exam since they can handled a little brutality..Hmmmnn..." She slithers off for a moment, but eventually you're offered a Saucer of Milk to drink. "Would have offered you it straight from the teet, but Archie would have shouted at me for being unprofessional. Drink up- once it's had a run through your system I'll reabsorb it and have a lookie loo." Neat. You drink it down- it's not as fatty or sweet like Bee Milk or pungent like Goat.. Little sour, but it's good.

This'll take a moment, so Phil suggests you go do something in the mean time. "Just don't go to the bathroom, like, outside the commune! Or some other weird place!"

>>2729185
>Let's do a little math studying.
>Roll 92- Perfect. Lots of math studying gets done.

While you wait for your bowelopsy you ask Archie if he can help you with your math homework, "I would be delighted to, are you poor at math? Oh my god, can you not read? God, have I just been assum-" You assure Archie you can READ, JEEZ. You're just bad at math. Archie's guilt is relieved and you put in a few good hours of studying. Archie's a pretty competent teacher, but this doesn't come as a surprise since Homunculi are supposed to be naturally inclined to assist others n' so forth and Archies just, well, super book smart.
You also ask him when your Robe'll be done: >>2729189 >>2729196 "38 hours or so." Oh, how exact.

The siesta and beer you had planned while on the Commune walls is interrupted by a Homunculi summoning you back to Archie's medical lab who reads you your test results.
-Verminus purged you of your parasites. "You might be curious why we never removed them: parasites are more complex and typically have magic resistance- it would have required poisoning you and we thought that might be a little.. Invasive and risky. Especially since we typically only get you in the infirmary after you've done something dangerous or unhealthy."
-Verminus also improved your bowels. "The Stone was quite impressed, actually; nothing has been added or removed, it's just more or less 'running better'."

You've been at the Commune maybe 5 days now, so without getting too out of the loop you'd like to check up on everyone.
-Your lair and community are doing quite well: they people have homes, a church, they've planted their fields, and have been getting a long with the Bee Women- exchanging favors, giving them foraging permission. Your dungeon is interestingly enough an excellent source of very clean, cool, fresh water.
-Catherine has been quiet as of late. Seems something has been bothering her? But what could be more important than -revenge- ?
-Your Twins are half-way done their education. The Priests say they're quick but prudent learners.

>>2729261
>Make some cube boys. You know, since we're in the commune and all.

Those Modrons Archie uses are interesting. You want to know about the Modrons. Archie is happy to see you're curious about learning and shows you them: some are cubes, some are pyramids, rectangles - isn't that just a long cube? "No, no, it's different." Cylinders, spheres- they all have an eye on each side. They typically hover about, but have secret openings for limbs.
While you can't directly make one: Archie lets you sit in his work chair with him and while you're in physical contact with one another you can share your mana pool/spell slots (Archie has fucking 75 spell lots. What the HECK. ).. So it's kind of like making one. When you were a child you sat and watched a Gnome fix your Uncles pocket watch- it's a lot like that. A lot of methodical, fine, squinty, busy-work.
You just will never appreciate machines. You like how bodies have a habit of kind of giving you the benefit of the doubt sort to speak.

>>2729251
>Practice wielding multiple weapons made from Frost Brand using Ghost Hands at the same time while we wait.

You accidentally cut your own left arm maybe 5 inches away from the elbow practicing with Frost Brand.
The good news is your Ghost Hand was VERY fast so it was a clean cut and Frost Brand is VERY cold so the wound is pretty well preserved and sealed. Just a one and done deal- happened in a mere second, no resistance.
The bad news is you pass out because your hand was cut off and that's quite shocking, really.
Archie puts it back on for you, but since you're 'foreign flesh' he can't fix the round scar where he put you back together. Dark Ring should see to that.

This eats up Archies time though- you still have 24 hours 'till the Robe is finished.

With your recent severance episode Archie thinks it's prudent to have Alpha supervise and tutor you- at least until he's done your robe and you're outside the Commune and can't hurt anyone.
Alpha is an extremely strict tutor: she strips you down and has you slip into one of those Homunculi Pajamas, "Do not call them Pajamas. They are a general purpose environmental suit made out of our amniotic sac. You should be thankful you're allowed to even borrow one- this is a rare privilege." You.. didn't mean to be rude.
Alpha also doesn't sugar coat things: your form is awful, you have absolutely no sword experience, but for maybe 8 hours she baby steps you through the whole process and shockingly you DO in fact learn at the very least the basics. Alpha is admittingly impressed that you were even able to keep up for so long- she was expecting you to run out of energy within the first hour. You assure her Stamina is one of the two things you physically possess in excess.
You do learn at least two mildly interesting things:
- Alpha concedes that your skills in unarmed combat are at the very least serviceable: you're dense with a lot of lean muscle and Ghost Hand has become muscle memory to you- this means more or less than you can strike someone or someones GHOST through them with your own Ghost without breaking your concentration. "This is the only thing you physically excel at."
- While it leaves very little to the imagination: the Homunculi skin suit is extremely comfortable and durable. You completely understand why the just wear them all the time- feels like you're wearing.. Nothing at all~!

Also the Robes done.
>1/5 Winning conditions met: Get a perfect robe.
>+++++Hyperborean Vestment: "Modeled after the ancient ritual garments worn by the first Human Liches whom originally pioneered much of the school of Frost within Necromancy: these ritual vestments imbue you with a definitive aura of entropic power and are practically weightless despite being as hard as steel. While wearing these enchanted robes- your Frost Spells can be cast as a muscle memory action and don't count towards your spell slot consumption during combat or stressful moments."
You slip them on immediately.
Forget everything you just said about the Homunculi skin suit- this is now and for true most comfortable thing you've ever worn. You could just go to sleep in this, it's temperature controlled and everything. You ask Archie if he's got a robe as nice as this or did you just make him make this amazing garment while he runs around in hobo-tatters? "Oh, no, no, please it's all yours. I made it specifically for you. I've got my own Archmage robes for combat and rituals, don't worry about me."

You're gonna head home for now- you've spent waaaay too long at the Commune (not that you don't enjoy their company) and you've got to catch up on all your latest schemes & memes. On the way back though you can't help but fiddle around and experiment with how powerful you are while wearing this robe.. Mostly because you 'can', but also because you want to understand the limits of your power.
-Frost Touch for example doesn't have to be cast from your hands- any physical contact will do. Feet? Sure. Elbow? Right on. You give a little piece of fruit in your backpack a kiss and it freezes solid. Wait, fuck, you have no way of thawing any of this.
-The intensity of your spells is dramatically increased: all natural you have to really give a big "OOF" but with the robe on it can be difficult to hold back as it draws and tempts out your true potential. Your Clouds leave a puffy trail of snow behind them, your breath is always visible, and if you're not careful wherever you touch or step leaves a little coating of frost.
-You also feel a 'little' bit ethereal, but you're not completely sure.
Your only current limit on your frosty-abilities is most likely your own competence and creativity. ((You need 1-2 more Frost Texts to have the full spell list for Frost. ))

There WAS a lot of work to do and you were getting quite a bit of it done: you returned home and amazed all as you molded a great ice golem. Everything was going great until you decided, "Why don't I try making my own mana shards?"
Despite Avarice and Eloy suggesting otherwise- you did it anyway.
You made an freezing, blustering, icey-cold, Mana Shard about the size of your hands palm and then passed out. Since you still had your robes on no one can touch you- you're too cold.

You wake up in a small frozen circle dry grass blowing in the warm summer breeze just outside of town. It's 2am. Dancing lights can be seen in the distance and a distinct 'twinkling' soun can be heard that's nauseating to listen to.

Still laying down you active your Paranormal Sense and have a calm and casual peek.
That noise you're hearing is Sprites- it's too hot for Wisps and Poes, so the primitive nature spirits have taken over for the season. They seem to be irritated and are vocally airing their grievances.
You then gaze skyward. Typically this is rather pleasant: gazing towards the stars with your paranormal sense is a dazzling experiences- so many faint signatures dancing in the sky..

You're... Gonna summon your Nymph. She's from the Moon, so she'll know about sky stuff.
With a casual ritual she appears out of a frosty, fluffy, cloud of powdery snow. Adjusting her garments and politely bowing, she leads in with her standard greeting, "Hello My Ma- .."
She seems concerned. Noticing one of the ribbons of her robe fluttering 'up'.
She looks at the sky and loses all over her composure. You were not expecting someone usually so nonchalant to contort their face into that of sheer irrational fear. She begins to shiver and can only stutter out one word "Outsiders."
She then grasps onto your shoulders so firmly her nails dig painfully into your collar.
And then she fucking runs. As fast as she can. Back to town.

Your Snow Nymph is currently hauling ass. She is moving so fast the grass moves by in a blur while her robes flutter and clap violently in the breeze. She's at that awkward primal emotional state of fear where ones nose runs and their eyes well up a little.

With you awkwardly thrown over her shoulder and the Nymph clutching your body as if she had just stolen you.. You feel as though perhaps this situation might be a 'little' more serious than you've been treating it. You try to ask her what Outsiders are, but she doesn't seem to be in the mood to talk or do much of anything but really just run. Fast. Like, her form is perfect.
When the lights from town come within sight she seems to calm down- enough to answer you.

It might be prudent to Seance your Staff to let them know whats going on and warn them of the uh.. Aliens? "Yes, Avarice should know what I'm talking about."
You give it your best shot, but something seems to be interfering with your telepathic abilities. Every time you try to seance a faint red light flashes overhead and you get static.
Well, since you're being carried you Mind Blast it. There's a loud trumpeting noise, the Nymph is almost knocked off her feet, the air is disturbed, and the light shatters- the floating 'thingy' (it looks like a snake egg) backs off a little.
This gives you a small window of opportunity to talk to Avarice.
"You get the fuck back here right now. Those are Greys- they're not Elves. They're not interested in tourism; they want your materia." O-oh, that isn't what you were expecting. "Run. Just Run.

You begin conjuring a black grumpy little cloud to cumulus your way up there, but you hear a loud heavy 'gong' and a spotlight connects from the object in the sky to the ground below- the grass caught within the pillar of light stands straight up. The light begins sweeping towards you two.
The Nymph screams, she's already running as fast as she can. Okay, well, this is getting a little spooky.
You sweep the two of you off her feet and onto your Cloud so you can putz out of the range of that light- she doesn't stop clutching you.

You've got one more set of actions before you're clear from danger.

Assholes. Cast the strongest Endothermic Fireball we can muster and throw it at threw with the enhanced strength and accuracy of our astral projection.

Throw as many high powered Frost and Pit spells we can at this to either drive them off or force them to crash.

If they're going to try abducting us we're going to make them suffer for it

>>2730164
Maybe we need to not support the plans that not only rolled badly, but were also stupid enough to attack enemies clearly out of our league?

>>2730169
ffs you guys, we're getting away. Just run. Nymph is scared out of her mind and Avarice is backing her up.

>>2730185
that's what I mean, with a sudden localized blizzard hitting their ship might be enough to distract them long enough to get to safety

also I think that anon was trying to counter the bad rolls with good ones

>>2730185
Well if people don't support the shit rolls, how else will we get some damage control in this bitch? Oof. Those low roll man. At the very least I want to take down that ship. It would make for a great present to Archie.

>>2730205
>rolled a 1 against an enemy which our allies heavily implied we stand no chance against

>"Yeah I'll settle for just crashing and capturing this giant alien spaceship."

Are you trolling me? Is this some high level trolling?

Yeah, I guess it's not all been terrible since I've also gotten 10, 12, 17 and 19 so my average is just under 9 for the night. Well there were also the two 10s on d100s with is the equivalent of a 2 on a d20, which would bring my average down to around a 7.

>Throw as many projectiles spells as you can at it.
>Roll 3.

You roll up your sleeves and begin throwing basically everything you have at the object in the sky- it's clearly within range, so you're going to punish it for that. Rot obviously isn't going to work: it's a machine of some sort, so you go with Ice and Pit.
Ice has no effect; it shrugs it off undeterred.
Pit/Shadow is a different matter all together: you fling a great seething mass of shadow at the evil orb and the shadow covering it flecks off like paint revealing a metallic reflective surface.. And a small crinkled dent.
Well now they're annoyed.

>>2730143
>Assholes.
>Roll 1.

Cussing them out you begin expunging every single one of your 35 spell lots on firing as many Shadow Bolts as possible, this however only further antagonizes the Outsiders and they cut the theatrics and swerve the beam over you and the Nymph. The Cloud below you evaporating, but the two of you not falling.
You instead begin floating very gently towards the evil metal egg in the sky. Your Nymph at this point is too frightened to scream anymore, she's gone full circle. she has wrapped her body around yours, buried her chest in your face, and is reduced to shivering and weeping quietly.

>>2730147
>>2730159
>Conjure something to block the beam.
>Roll 19- Near fucking perfect.
>Roll 11- Weird but good.

You have to agree with the Aliens that the time for theatrics is over.
You cast a few weak projectile spells just to gather some circular momentum so you can then toss your Nymph out of the beam: once she's out of the beam she immediately flees.
That's fine, she was in the way of >The Plan. Which you have to fucking do right now because without her added Nymph weight the beam is actually pretty snappy- you're zipping right up there.
You're pretty sure that beam is leading up to something semi-permeable to abduct you.. So you're gonna block it with something nasty.
You don't have any dead cows or zombies, but that's okay because you're gonna bet the farm anyway.

You cast Death Coil. Full Strength. All 35 spell Slots. Eat shit Aliens.

The Gaseous Death Coil is vacuumed up into the flying object.. It isn't until you're maybe 2ft away and they're within ear shot of your"Alien Shits" comment does the Death Coil seem to take affect. You hear faint sirens, rattling, the stomping of boots, spraying- the beam cuts off and you're dropped.

>>2730319

You do not stick the landing. No spell slots.
It is 5am. You awake still in the field to HORRIBLE PAIN as Avarice uses his weird Demon magic to fix your broken body. Accepting new Actions.

In the mean time Avarice puts your bones back into place and fixes your fucking snapped spine (why you're in such irrational, screaming, convulsing pain). His Demon Blood Magic is cruel, unkind, and burns terriblt, but it works. It isn't like you can do much until he's done anyway.. but Snow Nymph is still here! You thought she fled! You wouldn't have blamed her if she had though- that was pretty spooky and she seems to have known more about the topic than you.
You're actually lucky she's still here since she's the one that derobbed you and is the only reason Avarice can put you back together, "If she hadn't stayed we'd have had to get Archie out here."


I want D100 rolls to see if there's any Alien Treasure!!!! Lets see what the staff and maybe your honest villagers have rooted and pillaged off of anything the Aliens left behind. Loot, loot, loot- Alien Loot. Loot Loot.
