It is a time of peace. With Lord Freeza’s explosive declaration, naming himself Emperor of the Universe after single-handedly obliterating the Covenant stronghold High Charity, peace has come to the universe. Not wanting to stand against him and his unstoppable Super Saiyans, within days of his declaration the universe bent the knee. And while there are always outliers, those stubborn or foolish enough to try and resist, the overwhelming majority of the universe is bending the knee. And he wouldn’t have achieved all this, defeated the strongest military in the universe and survived the Prophet’s ultimate weapon without your help.Welcome to Saiyan Conqueror Quest, the story of an alternate timeline in the greater Dragonball EU. Currently it is Age 749 and you the players control Karn: once an ordinary Saiyan warrior with a meager powerlevel of 2,830 who has risen to become a mighty Super Saiyan, and so much more. Throughout your many adventures, the “Dragon of New Salda” has grown into the symbol of Saiyan might and power recognized actoss the universe. Now as a PTO general with a powerlevel of over 34 million, and close friend and confidant of Lord Freeza himself, Karn has become his people’s greatest champion.Character sheets and other info:https://pastebin.com/u/GrandDragonQMArchive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Saiyan+Conqueror+QuestQuest rules are as follows:>30 minute voting windows from post time>Pick ONE option when voting(unless otherwise noted)>Dice rolls are all best of first three, only correctly rolled dice pools will count>One roll post per person, unless at least ten minutes has passed since your last roll then you can roll again>Crits are 100 on a d100(a 99 or paired rolls may net you an extra bonus)>Crit fails -only- occur if no roll passes the DC, or if two different 1s are rolled which will OVERRIDE even a critical success, resulting in a catastrophic crit failure>Write-ins are both allowed and encouraged, but options too out of character will be shut down>Do NOT delete votes, instead simply link your change to your previous post as well as the vote post>I can change any of the above rules at any time for any or no reason>Have funSCQ will usually start every Saturday at noon Eastern Standard Time, and run throughout the weekend.

>>4736237Last time on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:While at the local mess hall discussing his plans for training the students going forward, a lone Covenant assassin appeared and tried to avenge the loss of his homeworld and death of the Prophets by assassinating Karn. After taking out the trash and finishing lunch everyone flew to the training grounds north of the city, only to be confronted by a four-armed fighter. Calling himself Goro, Prince of the Shokan people he challenged Karn, only to be quickly defeated. Training went off without a hitch, focusing on raising your students’ base powerlevels above all. Then after rescuing Broly from a Mindslayer and later discovering Okira’s silence is due to her tongue being a Stand called Imagine Dragon, Karn went for an early morning training session. And as we rejoin Karn, you have decided on your path to power.“My Berserker form, that’s the transformation I’ll focus on.” you say to yourself. And it just feels right, little doubt in your mind that this is what you want to do. In fact, it’s the most certain you’ve felt about a decision since even before the last war. And you are ready to begin working on it right away. However, you do have to get your kids up, fed, and started on their own day first. Or do you? After all Meloka’s there with them, and is more than capable. After a moment you shake your head at the thought. You’ve spent long enough away from your kids thanks to the last war, and you’re not missing out now.Anyways, thanks to Mechikabura’s timelines knowledge, you know that going right to Berserker 3 is something you could try right away. All you’d need are five willing Super Saiyans to join you in the Super Saiyan God ritual, and you have that just in your students. Not to mention your friends and family. However, judging from how draining your more ‘normal’ Super Saiyan 3 form is, perhaps you should focus on mastering it first? Controlling what is doubtlessly a lesser form of 3 will greatly improve your ability to handle it later. Or you could work on your Ascended Berserker form instead, maybe mastering the directly-previous form will make controlling the next that much easier? So many choices, but with the other obligations you’ve taken on can’t possibly go for them all at once.So which will you choose?>Focus on your more normal Super Saiyan 3 for now, until you can hold it for at least a whole day>Fully master your Super Saiyan 3 before trying out the ritual>Keep working on Ascended Berserker first, and really master it before trying to go for the form even further beyond>Go right for Berserker 3 now, have King Vegeta, Meloka, Raven and Ubo all on standby to help control you should that rage prove overwhelming
>>4736239>Keep working on Ascended Berserker first, and really master it before trying to go for the form even further beyond>Merge the calming meditation training Broly uses as we do so.
Hmmm, before this thread I was thinking we'd hit up the SS3 mastery first. However, my biggest concern about reaching for Berserker 3 through the ritual is not being able to control the rage, and I think ascended berserker mastery might help more with that.Saying "fuck it" and going for the ritual now is a surprisingly tempting option, I'm sure we could roll a 95 or something and avoid an absolutely catastrophic result, but nah.
>>4736251Yeah, same anon. Correct me if I'm wrong, but just last thread GD mentioned something along the lines of mastering SSJ3 to help us prep for berserk 3 didn't he? I may be imagining that but I thought I read something along those lines
>>4736251>>4736257Either option is good, but have to pick which
>>4736239>>Keep working on Ascended Berserker first, and really master it before trying to go for the form even further beyond
>>4736239>>Focus on your more normal Super Saiyan 3 for now, until you can hold it for at least a whole dayAssuming this is the path that lets us use ssj3 without the stone, I'll go for this
>>4736239>Keep working on Ascended Berserker first, and really master it before trying to go for the form even further beyond
>>4736257>Mastering previous forms makes new forms easier to access and control, but isn’t entirely necessary. And mastering the non-Berserker option(in this case 3) will do the same.You mean this quote from GD? I had skimmed over it by accident last thread. It does make Legendary 3 training seem more appealing, but I think ascended berserker mastery will be easier/quicker. If we're having too much trouble with Berserker 3 after that then we'll be in a better position to train Legendary 3 afterwards, anyways.>>4736239>>Keep working on Ascended Berserker first, and really master it before trying to go for the form even further beyond

>>4736292Saved
>>4736239With your path forward decided you choose to not waste any time, clenching your fists and transforming in a burst of sparks. Your body expands into your larger Berserker form, lightning bolts dancing around your body as you fly. Yet almost immediately you close your eyes and begin suppressing your power, trying to power down as much as you can without actually dropping out of the transformation. However, your sudden explosion of strength caused you to fly much further across the planet than you’d anticipated. Opening your eyes and looking around for a moment confused, you find yourself out over the open sea, with no landmass in sight.“Dammit, went too far.” you mutter, again closing your eyes to focus on your ki sense on your wife. And almost immediately you can sense Meloka, almost clean on the other side of the planet. So instead of turning around you simply keep going forward, and soon are blasting across the sky over the primal forest again. Blasting across the landmass you slow as you near your old ship, determined not to pass it by again, and begin descending towards it. Your feel land softly in the sand, barely kicking up a crater from your still-suppressed aura’s sheer force. But you can’t focus on that, as your instincts warn you someone’s watching. That familiar feeling of having a target on your back returns as you expand your ki sense, and don’t sense anything really out of the ordinary on the island. So you expand your range, and immediately sense more than a dozen unfamiliar ki signatures to your right.Turning towards the open ocean you don’t immediately see anything but the waves, but they’re clearly there. Several creatures with a powerlevel in the mid-five figures, and one with a low six-digit powerlevel are all hiding in the shallows. You stare down at the sea, glaring down at where the strongest powerlevel is, but nothing immediately reacts. In fact you can’t see anything through the gently rolling waves. But you know they’re there. Which only leaves one question:What do you plan on doing about this?>Fire your Scattershot, but short to try and flush out whatever’s hiding there>Scattershot, but aim for wiping out all of them immediately instead of simply showing you know they’re there>Use you telekinesis, grab the strongest and pull it up out of the sea to see who’s spying on you>Try and grab them ALL with your telekinesis, and lift them out of the sea>Start walking right towards the strongest one, but unleash your aura to blast the waves away>Other(write in)

>>4736395I KNEW IT WAS THOSE CRAB FUCKS!Also uh...eating their prince wasn't good diplomacy, so best we keep that under wraps.
>>4736357No. You’re not playing around with these, whatever they are spying on you. So you quit restraining your power, letting your aura flare wildly as you begin walking right towards the strongest of them. With your emerald power wildly raging up and around you, the sea itself is blown back and away as you walk. Despite walking straight towards the water you remain completely dry, the storm brewing around your aura blowing it all away from you. After several steps you see a half-dozen of the crab people are suddenly blown up and into the air, clearly no longer able to hold themselves down. Seeing this you relax yourseld a bit, crossing your arms and letting the storm die down a bit. And sure enough, rising from the ground a few feet from you comes probably the largest crab person you’ve seen yet.Unlike most of them with their more insect-like legs, this one stand tall on more human like hind legs. And you know that while appearing bigger is usually a sign of disrespect or intent to fight, with the crabs it is the opposite. With their heavily-armored shells on their back, hunkering down is how they show hostility. And exposing their more vulnerable undersides is a sign of submission, or at least nonaggression. So you let your powerful aura fade, the water slowly filling back in. And in a gesture of goodwill grab it’s falling compatriots with your telekinesis, setting them down gently instead of crashing to the ground before reaching out to the strong one’s mind.“Why are you all spying on me?” you ask it bluntly, the water slowly filling back in most of the space around you and coming up to just over your waist.“We meant no disrespect, vanquisher of Mindslayers.” it replies, also telepathically. Fortunately mental communication isn’t limited by languages, instead sharing thoughts and sometimes feelings through the link. “It was my idea to come here, and follow you on your hunt today.”“Follow me? What for?” you ask, still suspicious but now have an idea of why they’re here.“You have vanquished not one, but two Mindslayers.” the most powerful crab creature replies. “We wish to learn from you, and find out how you do it.”“So you want to learn how I fight those things?” you say aloud, hand to your chin pondering. You could show them, but you had just told Meloka that taking the kids fishing would be halted until this Mindslayer problem was solved. Then again, teaching the crabs to hunt them down could lead to Mindslayer-free oceans much quicker.What do you do?>Agree, hunt down one for your family’s breakfast and wake them up to it>Tell them you will as the sun begins to set here on your island>Agree, but for tomorrow morning and not today>Tell them you’ll think about it, and send him your reply when you decide>Other(write in)

>>4736455>>Other(write in)>Describe to them your method of pulling the beast out of the water and killing it before it can retaliate, then ask them why the mindslayers have appeared and what they know about them.We did tell Meloka that no one should go into the depths before we figure this stuff out. I think we should just retell our fights with them, it's not like they'll be able to replicate karn's style if they see it in person as opposed to having it described.

>>4736633No prob gd
>>4736455“Until we get a handle on the situation, and can figure out what’s going on we’re staying out of the water.” you tell him telepathically, and the crab man almost visibly sags. “But maybe you can answer some of our questions about these things. I’ll tell you how to kill those monsters, if you tell me everything you know about them.”“This is acceptable.” it replies, turning a bit to show you the left back side of it’s shell. And to your surprise see several symmetrical indentations, scars gained from fighting one of those things and surviving it’s bite. Judging from the scarring, had the creature fully bit down, it would have taken the crab man’s entire left arm and half of it’s upper body with that bite. But as it turns back around, you realize something confusing. There aren’t any bite scars across it’s vulnerable front. “Many years ago I battled these beasts, the last time they rose from the depths. And they’re just as fierce as I remember.”“Wait, rose?” you ask it, confused. “Rose from where?”“Those monsters, the Mindslayers, they come from the Abyss.” it answers, and for an instant you see a memory from this crabman’s mind. Deep underwater, on the far side of the planet from the continent, you see a chasm so deep no light can reach it’s depths. Then suddenly a giant Mindslayer rises from that abyss, psychic attack screeching out as it swims straight for you. Then the vision ends, you returning to standing by the crab man. “Those monsters aren’t of our world, beings belonging to a time long since past. But every few years, from that darkness they will rise and lay siege to our people. Most cannot resist their mental attacks, and are devoured.”“Yet you can, clearly.” you reply, dozens of questions running through your mind. “Else you would have perished. How did you survive?”“Like this.” it answers, and suddenly the crab man begins glowing. You don’t sense a real increase to his power, but the instant he does the mental link between you is severed and it feels like something in your mind snaps. Wincing, you feel a burning pain in your mind for a few seconds, the creature ending it’s glow. It tries gesturing to you, but not knowing how to telepathically communicate it isn’t able to restart your link. After a few seconds you reestablish the mental connection, the crab man apologizing profusely. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know it would hurt you as well.”“What was that?” you ask, having never felt anything like that. It felt almost like touching an exposed live wire inside one of the Attack Pods, except the burning sensation was directly inside your mind and spine. “It hurt like hell.”cont
>>4736675“This power awakened within me that day. And has allowed me to fight against those dark creatures more freely than my kin.” it answers, pointedly looking you up and down still in your Ascended Berserker form. “But that doesn’t make killing these beast easy. Yet you have already killed two. How do you do it?”“Like this.” you reply, and grab ahold of him with your telekinesis. Before he realizes what’s happening you’ve lifted him clear over the water, over your head and dangling by your grip. “First I pull them from the water, so they cannot avoid my attacks. And that’s when they usually unleash their mental attack. Fighting through it, I then decapitate them like this.”As you finish your sentence, lowering him back down you look around and find the bones of the one you’d killed yesterday gleaming through the water. Surprisingly none of the usual small fish are eating at the mostly-cleaned bones, the creature’s corpse as you’d left it. So you stretch out your left hand and telekinetically grab it by the stump of it’s neck, and start lifting it from the water. Then, after glancing to the special crab draw your right hand back, and fire off a Death Slash. Your blade of ki cuts clean through the bone, everything below the stump of the neck you’re holding splashing back down into the water. You then drop the spine chunk, and turn back to the crab man.“And that’s about all there is to it.” you say, when suddenly something he said earlier clicks. “But I also have my sword, which if they’re real Dark creatures should be even more effective.”“Wait, you found it?” the creature asks, eyes widening in surprise. “You found Darkslayer, the ancient blade wielded by the M’lurnian prince?”“What does it look like?” you reply, and it sends another vision to you. You see one of the creatures carved on the walls in the ruins, swimming towards a Mindslayer with your sword enshrouded in that all-too-familiar azure glow. There’s no doubt about it, that’s your sword.But do you admit it?>Be honest, you found it in an armory down in the ruins >Tell him of course it is, and that it’s your weapon now>Say you’ll let him judge for himself, go and get your weapon to let him see it>Deny that you have it, say your sword is actually a different one and create your Super Ki Blade>Other(write in)

>>4736741>LoreWOOOOOOOOO
>>4736679“Yeah, that’s the sword. I found it down there in an abandoned M’lurnian armory.” you answer him honestly. “Ever since that dragon woke up, and King Vegeta, Lord Freeza and myself all blasted it out into space, he’s kept the ruins locked down so no one can enter. “If you’re wanting to head down and search for something, I’m sure it can be arranged with-”“No, that won’t be necessary.” he answers, holding up a claw like a ‘wait’ gesture. “And that is very wise of your king, best to keep their empire sealed away. Lest the Darkness sealed down there be roused.”“If it acts up again, I know how to get ahold of someone to re-seal it.” you think to assure him. “He’s on my side, and wouldn’t endanger my home with something like that. But are you sure that it’s sealed? After the dragon woke up, the sentinels down there all seem to have activated as well.”“The M’lurnian people were our allies, at least until that Dragon’s awakening.” it answers. You suddenly get the feeling he wants to say more about it, but all you get from him for several seconds are vague feelings of disgust. He then makes several odd clicking noises, before replying to you mentally. “But I thank you, on behalf of my kin for killing two of those Mindslayers. Should you decide to hunt down more of those beasts, I would be honored to lead you to that Abyss personally.”“I might just take you up on that.” you answer, giving the warrior a Saiyan salute. And to your surprise he mirrors it before turning around, and swimming down beneath the waves. You sense his small group all going with him, leaving you standing alone in the shallows by your ship. Which you turn back to, yet before you can even get out of the water are guest to a surprising scene. A kid, probably no older than Chilli comes bolting out, something clutched close to her chest. And right on her heels is Silver’s ‘boy’, Jim. She doesn’t even notice you in her panic, and the moment she’s clear of the ramp immediately tries blasting off into the air. But Jim doesn’t let her go that easily, the living quicksilver boy’s arm rapidly thinning as he stretches his mass up after her.“Three Steps!” she shouts, and for an instant you see an ephemeral figure appear behind her. Then suddenly the world changes. One instant she was about to be caught, Jim’s tentacle of a hand less than a foot away, and the next she’s suddenly a small distance further away from where she was further outside of Jim’s range. But not yours. Neither of them have seen you yet, so if you act you would have the element of surprise.But what do you? What should you do?>cont

>>4736917Before either of them notice you, you decide to act decisively. Lifting your left hand you grab ahold of her ankle with telekinesis, stopping her in her tracks.“Wha-Shit!!” she shouts, drawing a small Ki Blade with her left hand and twisting counterclockwise, ready to fight Jim’s grip. Instead she sees you, hand held up towards her, and freezes in place. The young girl’s eyes widen in surprise, panic clearly setting in as she again shouts for her Stand. “Three Steps!”Her Stand appears beside her, a metallic green-looking humanoid being trimmed with gold, and large feet instead of hands. The Stand then blitzes down towards you, ready to punch-kick you. But without much effort copy what you’d done to the user, grabbing the Stand by it’s neck with your telekinesis as well. The approaching Stand lurches to an immediate stop, the girl gagging then coughing painfully. Damage to a Stand is transferred to the user, after all. And with both Stand and user now immobilized, you turn your head and focus on the boy Jim.“Alright, so what’s going on?” you ask him. “What happened?”“She stole-“ he starts, when suddenly your instincts ping back on the Stand user. Glancing away from Jim, you see her hands glowing with energy. But as she sees you notice what she’s trying to do immediately stops, and looks absolutely terrified of you.“Go ahead.” you tell him, not averting your glare from the young Stand user. “What happened, Jim?”“She stole that from Silver!” he says, sounding angry and turning from you towards her. “Give it back, you thief!”“This is mine!” she shouts back at him angrily. “He stole this from my father, it doesn’t belong to him! It belongs to us!”“Wait, us?” you ask, confused. But then suddenly you hear the familiar hobbled steps of the one-legged Silver on his crutch. All three of you turn, and see the assassin-turned-cook at the top of the ramp.“She’s no normal kid Karn, stay on your toes.” Silver says seriously. “She’s Lin Kuei.”“And you’re a damn traitor!!” she shouts, throwing something at him. But Jim interposes himself, the object striking his stretched out metallic body. And the moment it hits, Jim’s instantly frozen!“What?” Silver says, clearly surprised, but you’ve had enough. Switching your grip you let go of the woman’s ankle, and instead telekinetically grab her by the throat and squeeze down. Her entire demeanor changes, hands instantly going to her neck to fruitlessly try and pry your grip off. You feel your rage surge, and immediately want to just end her. You don’t know what else her Stand can do, and knowing she’s a magical assassin only solidifies this desire.But what do you?>cont

>97, 91lol, was about to post that I remembered too late about how Bane and Freeza showed us how to use fear more effectively than this but it looks like it probably worked out fine
>>4737274It's a small child, meanwhile we're currently a 9 foot tall ball of muscle who's has to struggle constantly to control our overwhelming rage.She's not gonna forget this, blunt as we may be.
>>4737216You’ve had enough. Glaring at the young woman you pull her down to your level with telekinesis, her face close to yours. And despite not having learned Bane’s trick, you can still almost taste the fear coming off her as your grip tightens. She gasps once then can’t make another sound, your grip cutting off her air.“Let me make one thing absolutely crystal clear.” you snarl, fury rising as you glare into her frightened eyes. “This world, MY world, is off-limits to all you would-be assassin Lin Kuei. You bastards come to my world, and you answer to me.”You then toss her to the ground at your feet, keeping your grip form but no longer chokingly so around her neck, and turn your focus to Silver. Where you see Jim is slowly working free of the ice that’s bound him.“She was here for you, so it’s your call.” you tell him, voice now calm and seemingly completely disinterested in her. “What do you want to do about this?”“Keep her there for me, just a moment.” he says, hobbling over to the downed assassin. You see the fury in her glare towards him as the former Lin Kuei assassin approaches, but with your telekinetic force keeping her pinned flat down in the sand, she can’t exactly do much else. He reaches down, and when he’s picking up the object she dropped there beside her tries to make her last move. Suddenly her Stand is there, swinging for the side of Silver’s head. Shit, you’d got distracted and let it go! It’s going to-huh? Instead of kicking the side of an unaware Silver’s head, her Stand’s foot-hand instead kicks a very familiar looking golden wing.“KIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!” Triumph caws, backwingedly swatting the Stand away from your cook. Turning around, you see Caulifla standing atop the entrance ramp, left hand glowing with unnatural, hungry-seeming energy while holding a lightning bolt overhead in her right.“Don’t you hurt Silver!” she says, green eyes blazing with righteous fury. “Or I’mma hurt you back, worse!”“Got what she tried to steal?” you ask, seeing Silver holding a small wooden, rectangular box. For a second you think he’s about to open it, but instead just sighs. Then to everyone’s surprise, even the Lin Kuei assassin’s, he simply drops it back on the ground by her.“Take it. And tell your masters this is over between us .” he says, turning and hobbling back over towards the ramp. “I have no need of it now.”“But dad-!” Jim starts, but Silver doesn’t even acknowledge him. Instead the old man hobbles back up the ramp, leaving you all looking at each other confused. What the hell just happened? Jim wordlessly follows Silver, throwing one last dirty look at the assassin before walking past Caulifla back into the ship.cont
>>473728710, 10ft tall ball of muscle. Don't insult our gains.
>>4737353Your daughter just looks lost, looking between the enemy’s Stand, the Lin Kuei, you, and the mysterious box. But your focus is on the assassin, who’s too stunned to go for the box herself. So you decide to take a peek, letting her go and using your telekinesis to pull the box up into your waiting hand. The assassin sees this and is immediately panicked as you open it. And inside the box is....an amulet. A golden amulet covered in decorative engravings, with a single cut emerald jewel in the center. You don’t feel anything special about it, looking at the object curiously a moment before turning to the assassin. And before you can ask her a question, Raven appears.Stepping through one of her portals, you immediately know something’s wrong. Raven storms through in her demonic form, all four red eyes blazing. She immediately focuses on you and the box, and without a word fires a beam of her dark energy at it. Just what the hell is going on?!-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 154 paused-
>>4737357And that’s it for tonight! Everyone enjoy the ride, and ready to pick back up tomorrow? Curious what’s in this box, and why Raven’s here ready to fight? All this and more, in just over 11 hours when we resume!
>>4737361>Curious what’s in this boxI was gonna assume it just held sentimental value to the kid, but now that Raven's here, I can imagine it's actually pretty dangerous.I would have let the kid have it, but I'm gonna trust Raven on this one and let her take it.Little Lin-Kuei runt can fuck off.
>>4737368Notice Silver didn’t open the box himself, and Raven didn’t appear before it was opened. How did this kid not only know, but find it?
>>4737375>and Raven didn’t appear before it was openedSo it's obviously giving off some kind of energy, either divine, demonic, or something similarly beyond mortal comprehension.>How did this kid not only know, but find it?I assume she overheard something she shouldn't have back at the Lin Kuei's temple, or she has some kind of connection (metaphorical or literal) to the amulet.Whatever it is, I'm starting to think we should just vaporize it.
>>4737377>Whatever it is, I'm starting to think we should just vaporize it.Good luck with that, as you’ll see soon
>>4737390Is that a challenge?
>>4737390Could always just throw it into a black hole. At the end of the day whatever goes is stays in.
>>4737407I wonder if that's how the Supreme Bitch got rid of the first Karn.
>>4737390Fair word of warning, if you're thinking about checking out the latest Godzilla movie, don't.It's all the worst parts of the last two movies cranked up to 11 with inferior action sequences to either of them.They also do Kong incredibly dirty for no fucking reason. They have him lose like 4 fights in a row despite having help from the humans and a kaiju sized axe.
>>4737537>Kong gets shit on my a nuclear lizardTruly shocking
>>4737548He had everything in the world to his advantage and he still loses every straight up fight.They actually made a bitch out of the King.
>>4737549Yeah but Kong gets points for that movie way back where he snapped a T-Rex's fucking jaw like a wishbone. Shit was cash.
>>4737549I expected it to be more of a back and forth between them, but it seems the director was a serious Godzillafag. Honestly everything outside of the final fight was a snooze fest. Especially the storyline with the kids.
>>4737564>Especially the storyline with the kids.I genuinely did not expect the stuff with the kids and conspiracy dude to be as mind numbing as it was.I have no idea why they frontload the action with an hour and a half of unwatchable nonsense.
>>4737557Peter Jackson’s King Kong > Kong: Skull IslandJackson’s King Kong also had the best video game adaptation of a movie that I’ve ever played.
>>4737393More a statement>>4737407But could you? Could you resist?>>4737428No, she axed his whole timeline>>4737537Explains why my godzillafan bro enjoyed it.>>4737548Ha!
>>4737357WHAT THE FUCK DID SILVER HAVE ON THE SHIP?!
>>4737570Fuck yeah, that game had no right to be as good as it did.
>>>4737357>Stepping through one of her portals, you immediately know something’s wrong. Raven storms through in her demonic form, all four red eyes blazing. She immediately focuses on you and the box, and without a word fires a beam of her dark energy at it. Just what the hell is going on?!Is that Shinnok's amulet? Are we about to get involved in troubles connected to one very evil god?Btw. This item if not fake, is very powerful.
>>4737361>And that’s it for tonight! Everyone enjoy the ride, and ready to pick back up tomorrow?Yea. Also the prospect of going into the depths of the ocean like the psionic Crab man described, to fight Mindslayers and other strange things seems very interesting.
>>4737827You’ll see soon enough.>>4737864A fellow MK fan I see. Raiden still better than Quan Chi and Shang Tsung, Deception still has the best MK game intro
>>4737864Maybe so, I saw the amulet when I was catching up on lin kuei lore. Raven's behavior concerns me, shooting a beam at it without saying anything is pretty extreme, but maybe we're in more danger than we realize and she's just all business because of it.
>>4737864Oooooh, the guy that got his ass handed to him by an action star.
>>4737872It is an option. Feel free to partake in the many side quests going on>>4737876Remember, now that she’s a guardian can sense magic, and divine ki and magics too, on top of sensing demonic>>4737879Liked Cage better when there wasn’t this mystical aura about him, and he was just a movie star who did his own stunts
>>4737927Now the fucks making the new movie admit to cutting him out because he's white.
>>4737357As her dark energy flies at the box, suddenly your body moves. Whatever she’s doing is dangerous, and you don’t want hit by that. However, your sudden dodge means that her beam missed, narrowly sailing under your ship without hitting it either.“Karn, drop that now!” she shouts, shocking you. And before you’ve even processed what’s going on, your body complies and drops the box. The golden amulet spills out, rolling across the sand, but before it could even make a single full turn towards the sea Raven fires again. And this time her dark energy finds it’s mark. The entire, normal Karn-sized medal is consumed, vanishing inside the beam of her magic.“NOOOOO!!” the Lin Kuei shouts panickedly, obviously distraught at the thought of the medal being destroyed. But it seems her fears were unfounded, as Raven’s attack ends and reveals the object is still fine. In fact, it seems just a bit shinier than it was a few moments ago when you’d opened the box. However your view is obstructed by the woman, who dives on top of the artifact. Raven then immediately tries to use her powers on the young woman aside, but as her dark magic begins enveloping the Lin Kuei assassin, something in her changes.https://youtube.com/watch?v=c7S0XowWdQESuddenly the temperature around you all seemingly drops at least thirty degrees, a layer of ice forming over the woman and Raven’s magic. She then slowly begins rising to her feet, frozen magic shattering as she stands. You see her right hand clutching the medallion is encased in a solid block of ice that’s radiating with an odd, red sparking aura. You can’t sense anything from it with your own senses, but judging from the change in her body language, whatever that amulet is has probably done something to enhance her abilities. Better stay on your toes.“Dammit! Karn, that amulet is radiating with a LOT of divine power.” Raven says, clearly worried and not even trying to hide it. “And not from a benevolent one. We have to get that amulet from her, else who knows how much damage she can do?”“Three Steps.” she says, her Stand reappearing at her back. It seems to be radiating with this energy as well now, and you doubt it wasn’t strengthened as well. “Get out of my way.”Well? What do you do?>Rush and attack, there’s no way she can overpower you>Use your Super Ki Blade, and try to sever her arm encased in the ice. As she’s clearly not letting go of it>Use a telekinetic choke to knock her out, and let Raven take the amulet while she’s unconscious>No mercy, go right for the kill. If Raven’s this worried, it can’t be any good>Tell Raven to let her go, Silver gave that item to her and told her to leave>Other(write in)

>>4737940Oh my fucking lord why did Silver have THAT?
>>4738079Why did the Lin Kuei have it?
>>4738089Because Bi-Han is an absolute fuck and Quan-Chi probably squelched on the deal in this timeline.We can't let it get off planet or it's probably gonna end up in Babidi's hands and make life a living hell for everybody.
>>4738099I may have fucked that up.
>>4738079maybe the power of the amulet increased his cooking ability
>>4737940“That’s enough.” you say, and once more clamp down on her throat with your telekinesis. However, something’s wrong. The moment you do, you feel something unfamiliar on your hand. And looking down, your entire right hand is somehow encased in ice! “What the-?!”“GET OUT OF MY WAY!!” she roars, temperature dropping even further as you’re immediately encased in a solid block of ice! Your entire body is frozen, unable to act and forced to watch as Raven takes on this threat. Fortunately the ice seems to have no grip on New Salda’s Guardian, who immediately gathers hellish flames around herself.“TRIUMPH!!” your daughter shouts, voice muffled by the ice. But you see her flames burn towards the woman, yet just as they strike her they freeze. Fire. Freezes. If you could move your jaw would hit the floor, somehow that amulet has turbocharged the Lin Kuei’s magic! You watch in horror as the ice begins surging back towards your daughter, unable to do more than watch. Yet Raven saves her, her dark magic enveloping your daughter and teleporting her to her side. “Huh? Wha-?”“Save your father.” she orders, focusing her full attention on the assassin. “Leave her to me.”“R-Right!” Caulifla says, flying straight up into the air with her Stand. The assassin’s gaze follows, and that’s when Raven strikes. Without hesitation Raven blinks across the distance between them, and lands a tremendous turning right kick to the side of the assassin’s head. Just as you’d taught her, way back when helping her learn to use her body again. As Raven’s blow launches the woman away from you, you feel a spark of pride swelling in your chest. And after throwing a momentary glance your way Raven then launches herself after the assassin. Caulifla lands behind you, and with flaming sword in hand begins hacking at the ice encasing you. But her blade isn’t hot enough, barely scratching the surface of the iceberg you find yourself in. “C’mon daddy, you gotta be okay! We need you!”“Stand back kiddo, I have an idea.” you think to her. And as she does you transform back down out of your Berserker form. Suddenly you’re no longer frozen in place, instead able to freely move inside a frozen area nearly twice your normal size. So you curl up, crossing your arms, then throw your limbs outward as you transform again. Ice shatters, and you explode out of your frozen coffin with a triumphant roar. “GRRRRRROOOOOAAAAAAAAR!!”cont

>>4738313>>4738329Uh oh, she activated the MAD DAD perk. Sorry, but it's terminal.
>>4738256“Get back to the ship kiddo.” you tell Caulifla, lifting your right hand and gathering your ki. “It’s dangerous out here.”“But what about-?” she starts, you turning to her and giving her a look. She sees this and immediately rushes off, knowing to listen when you’re this serious. And with your daughter rapidly moving out of harm’s way, it’s time for you to end this. Gathering and shaping the ki in your right hand, you form your powerful Energy Javelin.Meanwhile, Raven has the Lin Kuei’s assassin fully on the defensive. She’s firing off powerful strike after powerful strike, her body seemingly immune to the Lin Kuei’s ice as she uses the Su Ma technique. And, much as it surprises you, her technique is far better than your own. Each spin and flip is seemingly perfect, almost as if the late Guardian himself is guiding her movements. After taking a powerful kick right to the teeth an instant after getting elbowed in the back of the head, the Lin Kuei assassin screams. As she bellows in pain and anger, her own body is encased in a protective glacier. Raven is forced back away from her to not get frozen as well, and that’s when you strike.“HAAAAA!!!” you roar, launching the javelin right for her. And now that she’s an immobile target can’t avoid your attack, and even as it freezes midair you know your attack will work. Frozen or not your lance of power flies true, the ice around it shattering against her armor as your javelin keeps going. You watch as your lance pierces right through the woman’s right elbow, then raise your arms to shield your face. As you know what happens next.BOOMYour Energy Javelin explodes, detonating the iceberg and sending razor-sharp shards flying in all directions. Several slash your body, more than a dozen lodging into you in various places. After the shards stop slashing you you lower your arms, and see the results of your attack.“AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!” the woman cries out in agony, clutching the stump of her arm. The glacier is completely destroyed, and her arm is seemingly just gone. But the amulet is flying through the air, and Raven immediately moves for it. She creates a pair of her portals, one above her hand and the other below the amulet, but what happens next surprises you. The golden amulet passes right through the portal as if it wasn’t even there, falling straight through it to land in the sand beside the crying woman. Raven is just standing there, seemingly completely shocked as her portal failed, and not moving towards the artifact. So you move, rushing forward when suddenly another portal opens right behind the woman.“Well now, what’s this?” an unfamiliar figure says, stepping through the greenish magic portal. “Thank you, mortals, for finding my amulet. And farewell.”-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 154 paused-
>>4738471And that’s it for this weekend! Everyone enjoy this episode so far? Ready to see what happens next, and who this newcomer is? Curious how this situation unfolds from here? All this and more, next weekend when 154 continues!

>>4738471Welp, time to kill an evil god
>>4738501>Welp, time to kill an evil godBut Anon, they're all evil. Why make the distinction?
>>4738505Because apparently its an actual fucking element difference, and for some reason "evil" means smarter than the normal ones.
>>4738517>the only divine beings with two brain cells to rub together are almost always malevolentReally makes you think, huh?

>>4738541Shhhh, we don't want spook them, they might run away!>>4738543>But who stepped through?My bet is Quan Chi.>Being complacent with the order of things doesn’t breed intelligenceI bet being grown on trees doesn't help either.
>>4738543>Who said it was him?If it's not Shinnok, then it's probably Quan Chi.If it's not Quan Chi...then we might be fucked.Because then it's probably the OG devious mastermind.
>>4738543>Who said it was him?Well that's shinnok's amulet, so it's either him whos claiming it or it's Quan chi or Tsang Shung. I'm perfectly fine with nuking any of those idiots cause all three are backstabbing evil assclowns.
>>4738551Sorcerers are deviousAnd it sure doesn’t>>4738553Shang Tsung is a well-developed character in MK.>>4738559Or it’s not an mk character at all...
QM UPDATEGoing to be trying something a bit more prophetic for this week’s intermission, now that the future course is a bit more decided. Although it won’t be told from Karn’s perspective or focus on him.
>>4739352oho, neat
>>4738696>Or it’s not an mk character at all...That...would be a curveball I guess.I still bet it's Quan Chi or Shang Tsung.
>>4737927>It is an option. Feel free to partake in the many side quests going onLooking forward to it.>>4738488>And that’s it for this weekend! Everyone enjoy this episode so far?Yes.>>4738696>Or it’s not an mk character at all...Then I can't guess who it is.
>>4739352Interesting. I have been thinking about the future too. Some time from now Zamasu will look at what is happening in Univerese 7 and sees:>Kars>born as member of one of the mortal races>immortal now>Has God Ki> in training to become Supreme Kai.>Meloka>Super Saiyan Goddess>Chaya>Was given DDF's God Ki by Mechikabura> I assume she will make it and learns to hold on to it and make it her own like Goku did after Super Saiyan God ritual. >She will be another mortal with God Ki.>There is possibility that we may perform SSG ritual on someone else too, so maybe this will mean that there will be more Saiyans with God Ki.>Chilli>mortal wielding Death Magic>given to him by god Jergal>with goal to kills deities who live too long.>Karn>with his failed Super Saiyan God ritual and his unique Berserker God transformation.>Probably if Zamasu learns more about the nature of Berserker God he would dislike it even more.All of this will trigger Zamasu so hard. Our timeline has solid chance to make the angriest, most ningen hating and zealous Zamasu of all timelines that had ever been.>I know this is not Universe 7 anymore but if he somehow manages to see Jiren too, mortal stronger than his own universe's Destroyer. Zamasu's anger will be legendary.
>>4740780>born as member of one of the mortal racesI don't know that I would call the original unaltered pillar man race mortal. They live for ungodly amounts of time even without the masks changing them.Kars was born in 100,000 B.C. and only started making masks 8,000 B.C.
>>4740929True. They were something else, unusual among the races that live, yet they were still alive beings not undead, so I called them mortals. I mean they technically were just another type of ningen in the eyes of Zamasu.Forgot to mention, that Freeza will also get way stronger than what Zamasu sees as an acceptable power a ningen should have.We still haven't named this:>https://pastebin.com/iPAJeGJn>Unnamed move: Final Flash+Piercing Fist- Gather your ki similarly to Final Flash, except spin it before slamming your hands together, causing the two energies to twist together and form a spiraling, piercing lance of unstoppable energy. Pierces through all forms of armor, energy attacks, and barriers; deflecting their energy away from the user and allowing the attack to travel unimpeded.Maybe "Spiral Death Lance"?Reminder that it's still a mystery who has hacked Vox's base on Hive's home world allowing aliens to get in undisturbed by defense systems and attack most kids in their sleep.It would be nice to meet Leyas and Sarada again. Last meeting did not go smooth, so maybe this time we would just have a nice sparring fight and see how strong they are.
>>4740949>We still haven't named this:I actually got an idea for that.This is gonna sound kinda corny, but what about "Revolution"?It's pretty simple and easy to remember for one thing.There's a nod to how the technique is performed in the name.And the other definition of the word fits thematically with one of Karn's biggest goals; dismantling the current divine hierarchy.
>>4739393I hope it will be. BoG era, here we come!>>4739534They wouldn’t dare, would they? Unless they have a certain letter on their forehead maybe...>>4739736We’re at a point in the story now where the main plot won’t reappear until you “level up” as it were. So now is the time to grind out side quests for potential loot, experience, and perhaps most importantly of all new allies.And that’s what’s so fun. Without a description, who knows WHO just showed up?>>4740780First, saved. Nice.And yes, any Zamasu who sees your timeline would be immensely upset. But also have to play his cards VERY carefully. As he would see Karn, Meloka, and perhaps others *cough Freeza cough* fighting against Beerus and showing their power.And that’s the one thing SDBH did that impressed me. Jiren vs Fused Zamasu happens and shows the power gap between them. Exactly as most would have expected.>>4740929They are mortal. Hell, some turtles live for centuries. Or just look at how long something like Freeza’s clan’s lifetime is. >>4740949Naming that attack will be an option soon, I haven’t forgotten about it. Especially since it’s one of Karn’s current big three attacks. That, Red Dawn, and Event Horizon of course.>Reminder that it's still a mystery who has hacked Vox's base on Hive's home world allowing aliens to get in undisturbed by defense systems and attack most kids in their sleep.Arctus is looking into it. You may actually know (ooc) who this person is. I’ll give a hint, it’s someone with an IC grudge against Karn.And that would be a good idea. Although you may see them sooner rather than later.>>4741000Not a bad name, but doesn’t sound quite right for this. A name should encapsulate what an attack is, or does.
>>4741328>A name should encapsulate what an attack is, or does.>laughs in double sunday
>>4741673>shouldAnd that’s why canon Raditz gets memed on
>>4741328>You may actually know (ooc) who this person is. I’ll give a hint, it’s someone with an IC grudge against Karn.Interesting. I had the longest of longshots come to mind, and I'm hoping that I'm wrong because it would be a mess if it came to light.
>>4741705Oooh, you think you know who? Interesting. This may be even more fun now
>>4741686I thought he got memed on for having super duper duper saiyan hair without it being el goldino color.Or because he was about as strong as a cabbage.Or because he got clowned by a shellless snail and his eternal rival (temporary) the boy with half a brain.Hm. Lots of reasons actually.
>>4741328>You may actually know (ooc) who this person is. I’ll give a hint, it’s someone with an IC grudge against Karn.
>>4741734Ha>>4741737Yes it actually does narrow it down quite a bit. Because whoever it is is still ALIVE
>>4741751My bet is on the BIIIIIIITCH himself after we left him alive.
>>4741751Erza? Or one of the gods from that pantheon a while back?
>>4741762Which one?>>4741787Her beef is specifically with Chaya, not with Karn or the rest of the family. Her name is Erza Scarlet, and Chaya killed her father. For that she must die.Please someone get that reference
>>4741862Princess Bride?
>>4741862Sorry I only have five fingers.
>>4741870YES!>>4741986Ha
>>4742449Cooler. The BIIIIIIIIITCH, not just a bitch.
>>4742668Let’s be clear, Cooler’s not smart or tech-savvy to pull something like that off.
What's frieza going to be working primarily on for his growth over the timeskip? Stamina? Efficiency and ki control? Raw Gainz?
>>4742449Say, GD. What the hardest PQ involving Karn?
>>4743240The one where you just made his children cry.
>>4743379No one is that suicidal...
>>4743379>PQ No. ???>A Fathers Wrath>Win Condition: Survive
>>4743240Currently this one:You fight Berserker 3 Karn spamming super and ultimate attacks with super armor and unending ki like it’s Xenoverse 1 while also fighting Primal Karn staying super aggro and right in your face with hyper stamina regen. No one has finished that one yet, perhaps an epilogue for another day, featuring the Three Idiots trying that kinda boss battle.>>4743379Ha>>4743432Fight through the whole family, through their different ages/forms just for the music to cut out, //ENEMY APPROACHING// lights up, and Karn and Meloka both walk on screen.“You shouldn’t have done that.”
>>4743432>Win Condition: SurviveAin't that all of Karn's PQs though?>>4743439>“You shouldn’t have done that.”Yeah, yeah that would make players crap they're pants.
>>4743444Someday it'll be Chili and Megu strollin up after Chili has been possessed by Carnival Forever "Looks like you made a fucky wucky bucko!"Real shit I'm worried about our boy. Pls help.
>>4743585DONT BRING THAT EVIL ON HIM!
>>4743444The only atmosphere better than boss music starting is the player’s hype music just cutting out completely. Then just giving a single simple line and into the fight? Brutal.>>4743585>spoilerNo. Carnival Forever Requiem is truly dead and gone. But the terror, and trauma? Scarring like that lasts quite a long time, even longer than physical scarring
>>4743667>No. Carnival Forever Requiem is truly dead and gone.That sounds like exactly the sort of thing an evil entity possessing a child would say.
>>4743675The difference is I have more power here than the clown. That said, he could still pull people into his realm if the worst happens. Damn electronic communication. Until that footage is completely destroyed, Carnival Forever could orchestrate a return
>>4743732In your opinion GD which is worse, Carnival Forever or Death 13?
>>4743734Carnival Forever. Death 13 is good, but you can’t leave Carnival Forever(which is a Requiem btw) without actually defeating the Stand itself. Whereas waking up(or sleeping with your Stand out directly beats 13. It can’t actually FIGHT against almost any other Stand
>>4743732>The difference is I have more power here than the clown.THAT'S WHAT AN EVIL CLOWN PRETENDING TO BE A QM WOULD SAY!Thread compromised code C everyone evacuate
>>4743916quick everyone check to see if GD is phoneposting or not, its the only way we can really know.
>>4743916
>>4741328>And yes, any Zamasu who sees your timeline would be immensely upset. But also have to play his cards VERY carefully.That seems like something that would lead to a big brain Zamasu. All things seem to be pointing to the possibility that most dangerous Zamasu of all will come from our timeline. I guess one could say that it is the "Karn Effect".
>>4743916No, when he interfered it was visible. But Carnival Forever Requiem is currently unable to interact with the world, unless one views that footage.>>4744030I am here, pic related>>4745198Quite possibly. Enemies either have to be stronger, or smarter to win. And a Zamasu, seeing what will be the Destroyers tournament, will have more than one exemplary mortal to worry about.>”Karn Effect”Anon has noticed.
>>4745314And I drop the pic of course
>>4743916>>4745314Don't open it.
>>4745458AAAAUAUUGHH
>>4745458Okay.
>>4745458I will never, EVER get tired of the quality quest memes you guy(s) make. I don’t know how I got so lucky to have such a non-toxic and creative group of anons
>>4745855saved
>>4745855Can't forget the classic pic related.
>>4745928In retrospect, I should’ve used Towa instead of Frieza as a background character.
>>4745928I never noticed those two in the background before. kek.
>>4745925Oh, welcome aboard. And have another classic>>4745928A very good one. And fighting a team of Karn, Meloka, and Freeza is basically a death sentence for most beings below Majin Buu.>>4745990Let’s be fair, at the time their relationship wasn’t anywhere near good. Speaking of, well.... Meloka hasn’t had to share for awhile now.
>>4746023>Karn, Meloka, Frieza, Ubo, and King Vegeta IVVS>Goku, Canon Vegeta, Super Broly, Canon Frieza, Buu (in shape)Rules are as follows>No Killing>No ring-outs>No fusions or absorption>Go till knock-out or forfeitAssuming all fighters are fresh from their respective ToP, which team is more likely to win?
>>4746060The canon team because you didn't rule out any healing beams, and unless you can ring him out or kill him, Buu is basically undefeatable with those rule sets.
>>4746060Depends on too many factors to determine. In a free-for-all >>4746077’s right, as Buu is all sorts of broken. But if we’re going with 1v1s, Destroyer-tournament rules, it would come down to matchups. DBS Broly isn’t a threat, as he takes time to power up and would be easily ko’d before he got dangerous. And Buu would be asleep, because Toei couldn’t figure out how to utilize him. Like poor Gohan. But Goku does have far greater potential for Ultra Instinct to activate
>>4746060>no killingMight as well make our team fight with their hands tied behind their backs
>>4746294>Might as well make our team fight with their hands tied behind their backsWell it's not very even if we can just instakill either.
>>4746077I wonder how difficult a wish for Buu to be unconscious would be in order to satisfy the win condition if he was the last one standing. It would still be a tough fight even if we could cheese the ending like that, though.
>>4746314>make barrier around buu>push it out of the arena bounds>laugh at stupendously durable monster having its durability ignored
>>4746305Just let kills be legal and add hit to their team
>>4746470and Super Chef God Silver to ours, forgot to balance things out
>>4746541Speaking of Silver, I have to wonder if he has anything to share with our students in regards to countering stealth operatives.I figure he'd have some insight as to how they operate given his history as a Lin-Kuei assassin and all.
>>4746828>Lesson 12: Poisoning them before they can poison you.Whenever you're cooking for any big names, always leave a special dish off to the side. Make this dish smell as good as possible, extremely tempting to anyone that has a nose - and make it look delicious as hell even while it's cooking. Spike that with your own poison.9/10 times, the would-be assassin can't resist giving it a taste out of curiosity or spite or what-have you, so they poison themselves and die before they can poison your customers.
>>4746828Probably, but no doubt wants his past kept as under-wraps as possible. He joined the PTO years ago to disappear from that sort of attention, after all.>>4746294At the very least Meloka.>>4746305>insta-killing Freeza>everGood luck with that. Short of complete disintegration or decapitation then immediately splitting his head, he’d probably survive most anything else. >>4746314Less difficult than you think. Especially if your wish is “put him to sleep for an hour”, or something else limiting.>>4746452>doesn’t read rules for prompt>>4747504Now that’s some quick-acting poison.
>>4748344Phenol causes unconciousness within seconds and death within minutes.And in space, the options for poisons are probably far larger.
QM UPDATEUnfortunately this intermission is taking far longer to write than usual, so it probably won’t be done today or tomorrow. On the plus side, it will almost certainly be ready as the epilogue by next Wednesday. >>4748384I’m not saying they don’t exist, but it’s still fast. And anyone disciplined enough to be an assassin should, SHOULD be smart enough to take some of the obviously-trapped item.
>>4748556Woe is the man who thinks he is too disciplined to get lost in the sauceholy fuck am i hungry
>>4748556I would suggest iocane powder, but anybody worth their salt has already built up a resistance to it.
>>4748626And that’s why you eat before going out on the mission. And having your own personal cook waiting for you when you get back.Ha>>4748663Perhaps you could ask Emilia about which ones would be best? And which ones she and Vegeta have discovered Saiyans are naturally resistant or weak to as well?
>>4748675>Emilia's attempts at homemade cooking were just toxicity trials on Saiyan physiologyBut for real though, I would like to brush up on Toxicology in the future.Ideally we'd also see if we couldn't try to build up a resistance to some of the more commonly specialized poisons, but that would take a while I assume.
>>4748682In her defense, as his bodyguard she needed to know what he is resistant to, as well as what he is weak against. However she wouldn’t lie about her intentions, and despite Galick’s protests King Vegeta went through with it. And thanks to these trials(and we’re going a bit OOC for this one) the hospitals and even most restaurants are stocked for the worst, fastest poisonings. Saiyan biology, while not anywhere close to Freeza’s level, is still very resistant. I mean, look at some of what they’ve eaten in alien ecosystems with no naturally-developed resistances to local flora and fauna
>>4748682Wouldn't it be faster to just use Wish from Divine Dragon Force? "Make me immune to poisons" Maybe phrase in some nice way so it would also make Karn immune to drinking/eating anything lethal including for example "lava", just in case. I wonder if that wish would be difficult for DDF.
>>4748975I have to imagine a large part of Saiyan's being more resistant to ingested poisons has to do with the fact that the acid in their stomachs will break down almost any substance in a matter or minutes.
>>4748978that's a solid idea for a wish, if we're going to try to guard against poison then that's probably a better idea than trying to build a tolerance and maybe weakening ourselves/hurting our ability to train while we attempt it. >inb4 we wish for poison immunity and find out the hard way that venom still fucks us up
>>4748996Yes phrasing a wish correctly to get most of it may be important. Poison using enemies aren't very common, but when they happen at higher level they may be a problem. For example Lavender from Universe 9.
>>4748996I just thought of radiation. And that's just one thing. It would be nice to get immune to all those stealthy sometimes slow working things that can end Karn's life, cause damage, yet sometimes it's hard to even notice that one is in danger.
Hold on, we might be overthinking this whole poison thing.If we pick hamon back up, that would be a decent enough counter, right?
>>4749021To be fair we don’t know how gamma radiation interacts with powerful beings whatsoever in the dbverseFor all we know it could be a case of “yeah even their dna is stronger thanks to ki reinforcing all bodily structures so radiation can’t damage it nearly as easily as it does for normies”
>>4749024Yeah honestly. It would also help preserve our stamina in our advanced age, which is one of the few things Primal has over Berserker.
Some blokes a few threads ago were thinking about using poison to make our organs stronger, what if we try that?
>>4749222Shit I mean wishing for stronger organs, not poison training
>>4749233I got an idea. We should wish for Chilli to tell us what's wrong.
>>4749238No, that will piss him off.
>>4748344>>doesn’t read rules for prompt>following rulesEeeehhhhh? What the hell are you, a robot?
>>4749309
Only 24 hours to go until this episode resumes! Hope you all are ready to face a new, and different sort of threat.>>4748978Making your insides invulnerable? May as well go for immortality at that point, would be almost as difficult>>4748993True. Their extreme metabolisms as well as eating a wide variety of creatures across planets builds a tough system.>>4748996>>4749012You can’t get immunity from everything. And Lavender can basically ToD you, if you don’t have powerful healing available.>>4749024Hamon is good mainly against toxins in the bloodstream.>>4749032A very good question.>>4749316Handwavium is a garbage excuse when deciding any sort of versus
>>4749782>Handwavium is a garbage excuse when deciding any sort of versusAnd making a ruleset that is pretty much an explicit win laundering machine for one specific character is eye-rollingly silly. Especially when they lose anyway.
>>4749782>And Lavender can basically ToD you, if you don’t have powerful healing availableOr if you can't make a nigh impenetrable barrier around your body...like Karn can.
>>4750113This seems like a valid counter to his ability, but there may be one exception. What about breathing? Lavender can breath those poisonous clouds, and i guess unless Karn holds his breath when near the cloud, he would get poisoned while inhaling.
How popular is the Ginyu Force? What are their reactions when they see their fans pose like them?
>>4750467Hamon should solve it
>>4749909Yeah but I didn’t set the rules for that fight, and so tried to answer as honestly as I could>>4750113Yes, but that’s implying you’d know what he’s doing beforehand>>4750467Barriers like the one Goku and Gohan developed seem to act more as a filter than anything else
>>4750467>What about breathing?"Still your breathing, let the trace amounts of air in your lungs hold you. The Force can sustain you... listen to it." - Darth TrayaIf Darth Traya knew about that technique, you can bet your ass Darth Bane would have mastered it too.
>>4750485>Yes, but that’s implying you’d know what he’s doing beforehandGenerally speaking, if Karn saw a blast flying at him, would he not just make a barrier anyways?
>>4750483That gif is amazing, I need some sauce. What animator got away with that? Anyways:>How popular is the Ginyu Force? What are their reactions when they see their fans pose like them?Not as much as Chaya and Karn’s family, but they do have a dedicated following. And always excited, although Ginyu will physically correct people until their pose is exactly right. Then compliments them again, and tells them to keep at it.>>4750488There’s our dedicated SW fan, breaking out Traya>>4750493His blasts weren’t poisonous, only those clouds which he could coat his fists in were.
>>4750546>There’s our dedicated SW fan, breaking out TrayaSay what you will about that old, cantankerous, manipulative bitch, but she knew her shit.>His blasts weren’t poisonous, only those clouds which he could coat his fists in were.Can you tell I actively skipped most of the ToP?Anyways, can't really do much if he can't hit you I suppose.
>>4750546>I need some sauce.Medaka Box. According to reverse image search.
QM UPDATEOnly 15 hours to go, until you face your newest threat. Tell me, what do you know of artificers?>>4750594Wasn’t the best arc. Had some top tier moments on par with previous Dragonball iterations’ hypest, like Omen Goku’s finishing off of Kefla and Vegeta defying Jiren. But it also had some real trash>>4750666Neat.
>>4750924Wizards that have a bad habit of making magic shotguns and leaving them on the ground for random shmucks.
>>4750937Pretty much. Although this one makes things that are a little more...Dangerous
>>4751039........oh, and I was wondering when Magic was going to get involved again...how did we get followed? Or is it when were we tracked?
>>4751050Remember why is he here? Not for you
So fellas, we've all been shooting the shit with each other for a long time in these post-episode weekdays. Let's share some stories, bond a little more.What are your best and most memorable tabletop moments?
>>4751068Playing a MechWarrior game with my dad and some of his friends before he left.
>>4751068My hobbit character Daddy Two-Feet piloting a giant crystal mech to fight Tiamat.
>>4751068Finding out a Level 15 Wizard who was also a leader of a band of wizard thieves *wizards who were thieves, not thieves who stole wizards to be clear*, a Level 12 Necromancer, a instructor for the Academy who'd been killed, ressurected, mind controlled, and illusioned to be still alive and a Partially Ressurected Sun Eating Giant was about to invade the magical academy we were all studying at during the summer solstice. The Academy had a mutli level crystal dungeon that spawned monsters that was used as a training ground for the wizards, investigated it, found The Piped Pipper at the bottom and a bunch of mindcotrolled monsters.5D chessed The Pipper and forcibly teleported him into a five sided fuck box and knocked him the fuck out.He rolled shit on interrogation resistance, and a crit on plot knowledge, so we figured out the entire general attack plan, and the Wizard Thief Albedos entire spell/ability list.The attacking force got BTFO'd by the guards, the Necromancer got smacked in the face by the dick of a visiting Muscle Cleric who was teaching classes, and his old headmaster the man in charge of the academy. The giant got jumped by a Dragon which got wrecked even with it having a Dragon Slayer Spear.Albedo saw which way it was going, went to the bottom of the crystal labyrinth to GTFO, but we were waiting, with his teleporation array already shut down, and once he arrived a runic deathmatch triggered, forcing him to have to kill all 7 of us to almost escape.
>>4751137We were all Level 8 at the time, and completely over our head, but we'd planned everything personally. Albedo use 'Thieft Magic' where he could steal things, weapons, armor, space to basically sight range teleport, energy around him and energy attacks to restore his own spell slots, ect. We fought him, got our ass kicked, the local wizard/assassin we recruited cast an unholy empowerment spell on all of us, Albedo YOINKED it and fell for our Keikaku. Since he stole the Unholy enforcement spell, he now counted as Unholy, and our two strongest party members proceeded to pull out the secret holy spear and holy fires they'd been hiding this entire time, procced every ability they had, and thanks to the Holy to Unholy Damage multiplier....they managed to kill him.Then his resurrection item went off. Which we knew about and planned for.We didn't know that he could also steal the power of the attack that killed him and go into a temporary super mode. Thaaaaaaaats when things fell apart very quickly.
>>4751106>>4751128>>4751137>>4751141Very naice.Mine was when my character absorbed the final-boss super-wizard's powers at the climax with a wish and survived it but only because drow canonically have an effectively infinite capacity for arcane energy, for some reason. Not sure why that's a thing but thanks WotC.Always feels godly to have all your plans fall into place and work out exactly as you intended.
>>4751141Our other new Wizard party member managed to forcibly teleport his spear/stave into another plane, and Albedos big Fuck You Spell, but after that he was tapped and got knocked to negatives.Albedo tried to wide orbital bombard us after that, but one character could relfect 3 magical spells within 2 spell slots of his highest spell slot a day, and once we procced it the first time and Albedo nearly killed himself with his own attack, he proceeded to summon a sword from his bag of holding and started stabbing us to death. The rest of the party followed in short order save for our strongest two. They proceeded to use their hidden Ace, and become a being a pure holy fire, and the holy spear went into a super mode and they started going mano a mano.It was going pretty well...until spear bois timer went out, and got dropped into the negatives the round after.So now its Albedo and a walking mass of holy fire ala the Human Torch both on deaths door and decide for the final round.Albedo puts everything hes got left into a single lunge with his spear even burning some of his lifespan for it.The human shaped mass of holy fire....turned into a wizard shaped mass of holy fire and waited there.Albedo stabbed...and his attack reflected back on him, and he proceeded to blow his heart and half his chest out, since Wizard Mode was a single turn buff to all that guys magical abilities but it immediatly ended his super mode the turn after.So Albedo is standing here, half his chest miss, looking up as the wizard floated above him, hold a fucking holy sun in his hand, and he tries for one more attack.He fails as The Sun falls, is turned to ashes in the wind, and the sun burrows through the ground and nearly kills everyone when it goes off.Our last guy collapsed, we were recovered a couple minutes later by some faculity, and spent the next week healing from that.But we were happy with that. We nearly lost it all and TPK'd but we 5D chessed that fight and won when it should have been impossible. The DM started clapping for us when we pulled it off because we played it Perfectly. No fight in that campaign, and there were ALOT, ever matched up to the perfect planning boner we had from the Albedo fight and watching it work mostly as we thought it would.
>>4751068>be me, 15 or 16, can't remember exactly>first time at the table, heard my brother was playing and got invited to join>fumble through character creation>head to friend's house for my first session>I play Life Domain Cleric and didn't read the rules>Piledrive a Goblin headfirst onto a rock, killing him instantly>have to rules lawyer my cleric powers back>fast forward>we get to a bar, obviously the hub for the campaign>my brother's character, a ranger, sleeps behind the bar with his dog>the rest of the party gets into a bar fight>we're winning pretty easily>smoke starts pouring in, ceiling is on fire for no reason>Ranger thought we were losing when he looked through the back window and tried to make diversion for us>said diversion was throwing a torch at the thatched roof and lighting the bar on fire>half our group ends up getting arrested by the Order of the Gauntlet>the other half decide to go break into some poor woman's house and beat her over the head with her own stuffOther highlights include>Ranger almost wiping the whole party by trying to tame a bear>Ranger causing a nice old woman to faint by botching a game of Wiliiam Tell with a bandit in plain view>Shooting a Vampire in the chest with a magical mace fired out of an artillery cannon, killing him instantly>turning a Goblin into THE CHOSEN ONE with every buff we could give and watching him slaughter an entire encampment by himselfPretty good for my first campaign, ngl.
>>4751196>Making THE CHOSEN ONEThat sounds like you could expand that idea as the worlds most irresponsible wizard monk sensei that only does so for shits and giggles. And THE CHOSE GOBLIN, sounds like a good giggle.
>>4751202I mean he died right after, but not before outright killing every other goblin.What we did was this>create cloud of mist>beckon goblin over>use thaumaturgy to do voice effects>pretend we're some Goblin God>every party member passes the stealth check to put a hand to his back and put on a buff>give him a random +1 sword we had, make it glow>claim it's a legendary artifact>tell him the camp is full of heretics and must be purgedHe will be missed.
>>4751068Most of my experience was on the other side of the dm screen, as you could probably tell, but I do have a funny story. Low level players attacking goblins in a ruined castle, one’s on the wall trying to throw a javelin. A 1 later the wall crumbled as he stepped forward to throw, and tumbled down. The next time this player tried to throw the javelin rolled another one, and instead of the enemy hit his cleric in the back instead. And that’s how the Cursed Javelin was born
Sooooon
SOOOON
>>4751899>>4751862Yeeeees
>>4738471Last time on Saiyan Conqueror Quest:After Karn had decided his future, and chosen which way to take his Berserker training, he came face-to-face with one of the crab folk who’d survived battling the Mindslayers years ago thanks to developing an anti-psychic ability that even affects telepathy. After speaking with him you’d then witnessed a would-be Lin Kuei assassin trying to escape with something of Silver’s which turned out to be a powerful magical artifact. But after defeating her, and before you or Raven, or even the injured girl could retrieve it, a new player has entered the scene. Now as we rejoin Karn, it seems the battle for Silver’s amulet is just getting started.“Well now, what’s this?” an unfamiliar figure says, stepping through the greenish magic portal. Well, stepping through may be the wrong word for it. The speaker appears humanoid, but is a squat green creature sitting in some sort of mechanical rolling chair with many legs. “Thank you, mortals, for finding my amulet.”As he’s saying this, you notice a disturbingly familiar mark on the being’s forehead. It looks like a calligraphic, stylized “M” standing out on proud display. And you know exactly what that mark means. Babidi’s got this creature under his control. So you waste no time, and immediately dash at the creature.“Karn wait!” Raven shouts, but too late. However it seems this goblin-looking creature was ready, snapping his fingers as he flips what looks like medallion of some dark metal in his hand. Yet as his fingers snap, the medallion changes. Before your very eyes it morphs, changing into a silvery sphere. And the moment it does, a blue beam is fired from the orb right at you! It moves too fast to dodge, striking you right in the chest painlessly. However, for the second time today, you’re completely covered in a layer of ice. However this icy attack is far weaker than the amulet-boosted one earlier, and after a moment of focus shatter your frozen prison with an Explosive Wave.“HAAAAA!!” you roar, ice shards flying everywhere. But in those moments he’d already thrown several more discs, each one morphing into different things. An engraved metalwork creature, made of some dark, steely material with a bird-like head stands next to a similar creature made of a silvery, almost liquid-looking metal. Three orbs of different colors are now orbiting his head as well, and you get the feeling they’re some sort of defensive construct, probably against magic. But more terrifying that all of that is the giant, metallic dragon that has somehow appeared behind him.“GWRRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAAAR!!”cont
>>4751983“Ah, shit.” is all you have time to say, as it immediately belches forth a column of fire at you. But as it does you lift your left hand, and release your ki. The emerald sphere of your Barrier solidifies around you just as the flames hit, the scorching attack thankfully not immediately piercing the shield. But it quickly heats up, you feeling yourself starting to sweat. Luckily before it begins cooking you through your shield the attack ends, you making a mental note that just because your shield stops fire, it doesn’t stop all that heat. Something to improve on later.“What? Still alive?” he asks, seemingly genuinely shocked. “You’re tougher than I thought.”“I’m as tough as they come.” you reply, flaring your emerald aura up again. But what do you do? He has several beings between the two of you, and something about the darker bird-looking metal hominid makes you think it’s a lot tougher than it appears. But you can’t just let him have that medallion. Can you?Well? What’s the plan?>Rush and attack, bulldoze your way through those machines and beat him down>Super Ki Blade and rush in, cut down his mechanical toys that try and stop you before decapitating him too>Let Raven handle the green wizard, while you focus on keeping his machines from directly attacking her>Have Raven shield the ship and your family, then unleash your Red Dawn on him and his mechanical creatures to exterminate them all>Rush forward and grab the medallion immediately, then try to defend yourself. Don’t risk letting him or any of his metal creatures grab it first>Let him have it, then the moment he’s distracted by it try and end him >Other(write in)
>>4751986>Let Raven handle the green wizard, while you focus on keeping his machines from directly attacking herShe's gonna be able to counter his magic better, we just gotta do some heavy lifting.
>>4751986>>Other(write in)>>Call in Meloka to give her a rundown and hopefully bring our sword, in the meantime try to keep attention of the green man through talkingOh boy, here's hoping he's not actually Babidi affiliatedQuest fanart, hot off the presses
>>4751986>Let Raven handle the green wizard, while you focus on keeping his machines from directly attacking herwas about to type out a write in for tossing a Ki Bomb or something to knock the medallion away from this guy, but one of his minions could probably grab it while we're occupied with everything else. We may as well keep it in the crossfire.>>4751992THE BOY

Seems like it was just yesterday we were shit talking Trunks to oblivion.I'm glad we got to touch base with him at least and make him see that we weren't the cartoon villains the SKoT made us out to be.
>>4752050He knew after watching us, but his natural bitchness made him pretend he wasn't a giant biiitch.
>>4752050It was fun dabbing on him each story arc to the point he developed a natural debuff in combat against us.
>>4752059>Debuff: Night Terrors of a Broken Bitch
>>4751986“Raven, I’ll guard you.” you say, taking a half-step to the left to move in-between Raven and the green guy with his toys. “I’ll take the toys, the wizard’s all yours.”“Thanks, just what I always wanted.” she says in her usual disinterested monotone. “A green midget with attitude.”“The two of you think you can defeat me?” he asks, again tossing two medallions in the air and snapping his fingers. And as he does one transforms into a giant humanoid machine, easily taller than even your Berserker form and the other becomes a giant mechanical wurm. It doesn’t move forward normally, instead spiraling it’s body in rotation towards you. “Destroy them!”“Grrraaaaaaaa!!” you roar, firing a beam from your right palm right down the mecha wurm’s throat. Several small explosions rock it from the inside, and as your beam travels down it the wurm splits into two! “What the?”“HAAA!” the golem roars, and to your shock see it throwing the dragon right at you!“Dammit!” you seethe, planting your feet and catching it. The dragon hits with such force you slide back several feet, but you still managed to stop it short of hitting Raven. Glancing you see the two wurms spiraling towards you, one glowing and one not, so you decide to use his own tactics against him. “GRRAAAAAA!!”While roaring you toss the dragon back, it slamming into the glowing wurm and colliding with a titanic crunch. Both machines go down, as the other wurm keeps rushing you. But it’s too slow, you gathering ki into your left hand then firing a Scattershot right down the machine’s throat. Your blasts detonate all down the length of his half-wurm, it exploding from all the blasts.“KIIIIIIIIIII!!” a familiar bird like call echoes out, sounding quite similar to Triumph, but to your surprise it isn’t from Caulifla’s Stand. Instead you see a flaming bird fly from over the wizard’s head at you, but before you can react Raven interferes. As it flies suddenly a similar bird of pure darkness appears between you and it, it meeting the bird head on and the two detonate in a mix of fiery and dark energies. As they explode you notice a flash of bronze out of the corner of your eye, turning and seeing a much-smaller bird flying low and trying to reach the medallion. But you see it, point your left index finger and fire your Death Beam. Your energy pierces right through it’s head, the machine crashing lifelessly to the ground and sliding through the sand to a stop.“Hmph. Nice try.” you mutter, turning back towards the mage. And that’s when you see what he’d been working on.cont
>>4752226Instead of standing with the smaller creatures around him and the one golem behind him, the green wizard is now surrounded by several strong-seeming machines. The two titanic golems, one platinum and the other colored a dark red and black flank the wizard. But between you and him are several beetle-like creatures, each one ejecting several flying shapes from it’s back before collapsing lifelessly to the ground. But what’s more terrifying is the giant ball of those metallic, bird-humanoid creatures forming behind them all. It gets larger and larger by the second, more and more piling onto the sphere“Dammit.” you mutter, then suddenly your instincts scream at you in warning. Looking up, you see a mass of metal dropping down towards you both, seemingly coming in from space. “SHIT!”Throwing your arms wide you gather your ki, then slamming your palms together and firing your powerful golden beam with a roar of “FINAL FLASH!!”Your destructive wave explodes from your hands, blasting up and consuming the dropping meteor before it can get close to hitting.“Your resistance is futile!” the wizard shouts, pointing at you and firing a bolt of crimson lighting. But it diverts from you at the last second, you glancing over your shoulder to see it being absorbed into a dark mass between Raven’s hands. “What?!”“Hmph. You’re not much of a threat without your toys.” Raven says aloud, then telepathically to you. “Best create your Barrier.”“Barrier!” you say, creating your emerald shield around you.“This ends now.” Raven says, throwing the dark mass into the air up and between the three of you. “Dark Magic: Damnation.”The darkness suddenly shines with a blindingly bright purple light, and everything outside your shield vanishes. You can’t see anything beyond the confines of your shield, everything consumed by that purple and black energy. But after several seconds the darkness fades, and to your shock see his mechanical creatures are unharmed! And not only that, the wizard is covered in a liquid-seeming dark metal and behind him rests a tower made of the same dark metal. In fact all of his metal creatures have changed into that darker, no doubt stronger metal.“Wh-What?” Raven says, confused and slightly panting from the exertion. “How?”“Darksteel. This metal is completely indestructible.” the green wizard says smugly. “No matter how much magical power you throw at it, you can’t break it.”cont

>>4752230“Well then, lucky me I won’t have to break it.” you say, lifting your right hand and grabbing the green creature’s throat with your telekinesis. “I’ll just kill you instead.”And then with an effort of will, snap his neck. Or at least tried to.https://youtube.com/watch?v=tNW9lmujZxUAs your telekinetic grip goes through the motions, something goes wrong. You feel it snap, the creature’s neck barely any effort to break. But the moment it does, a faint white light envelops both him, and the more platinum-seeming golem. And right there in your grip you feel his neck un-break, returning to normal.“What?” you say, shocked, as the green creature smirks at you. “H-How?”“Platinum Emperion. Never leave home without it.” the green creature says smugly. “As long as it’s here, I cannot die. And with it now made in Darksteel as well, it cannot be destroyed either! You cannot hope to stop me now!”He then flips another medallion in the air, it morphing into an angelic being made of both platinum and Darksteel. You then hear a cry, turning and seeing the would-be Lin Kuei assassin grabbed by a pair of those birdlike humanoids.“So, it looks like you have two options, mortals.” the creature says, sounding completely relaxed and at ease, completely in control of the situation while flipping a medallion over and over. “Either hand me that medallion there, and I’ll let you live. Or, you can keep resisting me. And, well....”As he says this, he snaps his fingers and the medallion transforms into a slim knife. Around it appears a menacing, spiked bluish aura. And without hesitation flips it to the giant reddish golem, who pitches it at the assassin. Before you even realize what you’re doing your body just moves, catching the blade by it’s handle.“Poor decision.” he says, snapping his fingers again. And you feel the knife change, transforming into another of those birdlike monsters. But you see it has long, razor-sharp slashing claws that lunges for your neck.“BAAAAAA!!” you roar, firing a Mouth Blast and blasting it away from you. The creature smashes into the ground, and you turn back towards the wizard just in time to see the giant ball of smaller artifact creatures rolling towards you. Without hesitation you gather your ki into an Energy Javelin, and toss it right at the ball’s center. Your spear pierces deep into it, and after two seconds or so the whole ball explodes. Metal birdlike humanoids fly out in every direction from you, reducing the heavy machine ball into a rain of scrap metal people.cont
>>4752525“You really are determined to do this the hard way, aren’t you?” he asks, snapping his fingers. And before your eyes each one of the birdlike creatures begins transforming. They all quickly change into giant, sparking golems that, as soon as they all reach full size, flames explode out from them all.“Barrier!” you shout, creating your shield around yourself again just before the flames slam into you. Your shield keeps the flames from dousing you, heating up but not scorching you, and after several seconds the flames end. You lower your shield, and find your entire island and the shallows around it covered in titanic-scaled machine men.“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.” the green, metal-covered wizard says feigning disappointment. “Kill them all.”Well, what now?>No choice now but to remove this threat, Instant Transmission behind the wizard and throw him off into space>Have Raven shield the ship, unleash a full powered Red Dawn>Have New Salda combine with you like it offered to do for the siege, and with the planet’s power and heat melt them.

And again, leaving this vote open another ten minutes
>>4752528>Toss the medallion to Raven, she's the magic expert maybe she can use it?Well this has gotten out of hand.
This is a tough one. I was considering this since even Frost could use it without seemingly any training, it amplifying her natural skills:>>Grab that medallion yourself, but try using it's power to wreck this wizard.But probably it maybe a tit risky. >>4752603This maybe ok, but instead of tossing we Instant Transmission to raven and give it to her. Last time she tried to catch the medallion it failed. Ok I'm gonna make my vote in a moment.
>>4752602Oh my bad GD, posted before updating again,>>4752528I'll switch >>4752603to supporting >>4752569so that you can close the vote
>>4752608It was supposed to be "a BIT risky". Sorry for the typing mistake.
>>4752608Afraid Karn has no magical affinity
>>4752617Yes, true.
>>4752528>Toss the medallion to Raven, she's the magic expert maybe she can use it?Though I advise giving Shinnok's amulet to Raven, not tossing it, so nobody can intercept the throw.
>>4752621Ah, another thing I realized but forgot to mention is I figure there's a reason Raven hasn't tried to use the amulet herself, or touch it. There's a chance since she's half demon she's incompatible with the divine amulet, which would explain why she was in demon eye mode beyond being in a hurry
I did not vote for Instant Transmission to space, because he just used portal magic to get here, so maybe he would just teleport back on New Salda few moments later.
>>4752629Fair point, this ain't a simple fight.
>>4752631Oh true, I was thinking about that as well. Honestly in hindsight seems like either New Salda'ing or tossing the amulet to the assassin would have been the best move
>>4752568>>4752569>>4752589>>4752603>>4752609>>4752621No choice now but to remove this threat, Instant Transmission behind the wizard and throw him off into space wins it. Roll me a 3d100.First DC: 30Second DC: ??Third DC: 50

>>4752640If he comes back we can try that next time. Though if he simply suffocates in space then I guess he was too overconfident about how well he was prepared for the fight.

>>4752651>>4752658>>475266196/100, 91/100, 40/100. Two successes and a failure. Not bad, but this is gonna hurt, writing.
Oh I just had a thought. If the dude still comes back let's IT to a mind slayer and get it activate its mind screech. If we can't harm him physically let's ko him mentally. And leave him to drown probably
>>4752709Odds are good that he has mental defenses too, unfortunately
>>4752709that's a fun idea
>>4752721I dunno, reckon is he did have a mental defense counter we'd not have been able to tk him>>4752724Hopefully a good one too, though we cl aren't familiarized with mind slayers enough to recognize them on ki alone. Maybe use champion to recognize them?
>>4752684Well I'll be out for a bit so I'll just write down the vote now>>Activate Champion mode and IT the green goblin to a mindslayer, try to make it screechI get it if this doesn't count btw GD, just wanted to write it out. If the situation looks too risky to do it then don't do it anons and yadda yadda yadda, good luck
>>4752528“You know what? Your army is the toughest I’ve ever faced.” you say, raising your arms slowly towards over your head. “Honestly, I don’t think I can beat them.”“Karn? What are you doing?!” Raven shouts, almost panicking.“Look, I know how well you’ve prepared for this.” you say, still addressing the wizard instead of her. “With your army here, I doubt we can defeat you.”“Hmph. For a monkey, you show some intelligence.” the wizard says, bringing his hand to his chin. “And you’re clearly powerful, perhaps I could take you on as a lackey?”And the moment he looks down, pondering, you move. With your right hand up you bring it to your forehead, focusing on the wizard’s tiny, odd ki. And with a small bit of effort teleport, your Instant Transmission taking you right behind the green-skinned wizard. Before he even knows what’s happening you’ve grabbed his entire head from behind.“Wha-?!” he starts, confused as you immediately turn and throw the wizard with the full power of your Ascended Berserker form.“GRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA!!!” you roar, launching him straight into the air. Your throw packs so much power it makes several sonic booms as he flies straight into the air and right out of New Salda’s atmosphere. Immediately both large golems’ fists slam into you, one on the back of the head and the other into your chest. However their punches don’t pack near the punch you’d feared, and don’t so much as budge you. So you grab each of them and spin, launching the golems in different directions. Both slam into other giant golems, knocking several of the titanic beings down in a domino effect out from you. But that doesn’t stop the rest, who all begin their stomping rush right at you. The first one closes the distance and swings a giant fist down at you, you planting your feet and catching it in both hands. “Tch!”Those duplicate golems that burst into flames pack a surprisingly stronger punch than the other two, the ground cracking beneath your feet as you catch the fist and stop it’s power. Before another one closes the distance you spring upwards, throwing the fist back and launching yourself up off the ground. “Up here you bastards!”And while you’d hoped to pull their attention off of Raven potentially, unfortunately you’d underestimated what they can do. And as one, all the still-standing golems raise their right hands towards you, and unleash a storm of magical flames right for you“Shit! BARRIER!!” you shout, once more creating your emerald shield around yourself. But you don’t make the small one, with a bit of effort expand it out to nearly double it’s normal size. The abnormal fires dance around your shield, and with the expanded size of your shield don’t immediately feel yourself cooking.contyou’ll see why this pic is important in a moment
>>4752912The flames pour on for several seconds, then finally end suddenly. You sigh out, seeing them all below you, and drop your shimmering shield. Then immediately you hear an odd groaning, almost like metal shearing apart. Looking around you see Raven, conjuring a beam of light from the heavens on the tower. Her light consumes the tower, and as it does that dark metal disappears from the creatures below you.“Hurry Karn, take them out now!” Raven shouts up at you. “Before that wizard comes back!”“HAAAAAAA!!!” you roar, gathering your ki into both hands then tossing a pair of Scattershots down. Your blasts explode, destroying at least a dozen of the giant machines below you.“You-! What did you do?!” the wizard reappears back down on the ground beside his chair. Without that indestructible metal armor around him, this is your chance! You have to end him now! So you raise your right hand to your forehead, and again teleport. This time you appear right in front of him, and swing for his head. But instead of trying to dodge he attempts to block, lifting a small glass-looking statue between you.“Karn, wai-!” Raven shouts, as your fist strikes the statue. It shatters, and as it does everything vanishes. Your body feels like it’s tearing apart, your insides pulled out and your mind both expanding and contracting simultaneously. Your senses are overwhelmed, positive and negative emotions all surge through you. This void you find yourself in seems kind of familiar, but instead of the peaceful void you’ve woken up into before is replaced by this terrible place. All you can clearly see through all the distortion around you is your own body, and to your horror you’re falling apart! Your body seems to be swiftly dissolving into nothing in this void! What’s worse is you don’t feel it, in fact you don’t feel anything from it. You’re dying!But what can you do about this?>Try and reach out to any ki signature to Instant Transmission away from this place>Try and reach out telepathically to Towa, and see if she can do anything to help you>Telepathically reach out to Raven, and see if she can get you back>Try your Energy Body technique, and see if it can slow this disintegration of your body>Other(write in)

Okay I'm back. Hey guys, did we get h->>4753013pic relatedHere's hoping we pull something out our ass
Got back from a day of grilling with the boys.Things went far better than I expected.
>>4752914“Dammit! I’m not staying here!” you think to yourself, trying to focus your ki sense. But as you do your senses are scrambled, as if surrounded by millions of beings all at once, but also completely alone. You can’t get a solid reading on anything here, and feel yourself getting more and more anxious as your senses continue being mixed around. And in just a half a dozen seconds’ time, your hands and half your forearms have fully fallen apart. It’s a terrifying sensation, watching your body fall apart and not bleeding or anything. You are just falling to dust. “No! Dammit, no! Not like this!”And suddenly, you feel something grab you. It feels like a hand just reached into your chest, and pulled it right out of you. However your body suddenly feels like it’s flying backwards, and slams into a wall tougher than anything you’ve ever hit.“Guh!” you wheeze, crashing to the ground and slamming a fist down to stop yourself. The stone shatters under the impact, and rising to your feet find yourself in the middle of a battlefield. Before you are blue crystalline zombies wielding golden weapons. And behind them is the giant forms of a reptilian creature of that same blue material. “What the hell?”“It is good to see you, Godslayer Karn.” a vaguely familiar voice calls, you turning and seeing a white furred lion man. He stands before a formation of armored humans and giants, wielding his odd twin-headed axe-staff. “I didn’t think I would be able to summon you here.”“Where the hell am I?” you say, more confused than anything. “And why did you bring me here?”“I did, for beings like that. And HIM.” he says, pointing up past your shoulder. You turn around, and far behind the blue mineral giant part-animal creatures you see an absolutely massive dragon resting atop the tallest structure you can see. “That is Nicol Bolas. And we need your power to stop him, and the gods he has enslaved.”“Sorry, but I have my own problems.” you say, crossing your massive arms. “Now send me back home. I have my own problems to take care of.”“Unfortunately, you cannot leave.” he says, not defiantly but sadly. “We’re all trapped here, held by that artifact he stands upon. Only once Bolas is defeated can we all leave this place.”“You bastard!” you snarl, worried about your family left at the mercy of that other green bastard. “And even if I wanted to help, I can’t. Dragon Force is inactive, I can’t kill gods right now like I could back then.”“How about this, then: I can restore your power, if you agree to help.” the cat-man says. “My magic can heal and restore those it affects. I can restore your abilities, if you will use them to aid us. What do you say, Godslayer? Will you help us?”>cont

>>4753190Knowing what Ajna does, he literally has no fucking clue what we are, where we come from, and in a game mechanic term, our mana cost, or even what kind of mana.

>>4753175>>Agree, and stay to help him fight.>>4753199Oh yeah, probably became vastly easier when we went between realms
>>4753199how the fuck does tapping lands for mana even work in-universe?Are you actually taking aspected energy from someplace and funneling it into whatever you're using/summoning? Or do you just take the energy from those places and use it to tear open a specific portal necessary to grab what you're grabbing or cast what you're casting?

>>4753206Probably the biggest reason, we are usually in solid universes, not that magic space between everything. And with our power, its literally an asspull combo of epic proportions that randomly occurred to get us there. Fitting in a way.
>>4753177>>Agree, and stay to help him fight.
>>4753224>Father Son Dragon hunting is a go, eventually.Not today. Nicol Bolas is mortal.LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!
>>4753229Oh yeah we were transformed and everything when we got slapped outside of time and space.I can't imagine we weren't noticed by everybody who could perceive that realm when we were in it.
>>4753232I mean, he has tons of skelecrystal bois though
>>4753224Decided to look into the official answer from WotC>"The basic idea is that a mage must first create a bond to the land through some kind of ritual. Whether the mage actually needs to visit the land is an open question. Maybe some lands are so mana-rich or renowned that mages can create a connection to them from across space, time, or even across planes. In any case, once a mage has established a bond to a given place, they can manifest that bond by concentrating on it, then channeling the mana from the land into themselves for spellcasting.>"Perhaps this bond is abstract and only in the mage's thoughts, but we've also thought about ways to represent the bond visually, such as with 'mana globes' that float around a mage. The mage would create a small mana globe - roughly baseball-sized - that is a magical manifestation of his/her connection to a given land. Then the mage could literally 'tap' the mana globe to draw its power into themselves. The mana globe would then slowly regenerate until it was ready to be siphoned again. The bond could also be represented at the site of the land, such as with a totem or magical sigil that 'marks' the mage's bond to it.
>>4753232He will be our first taste of fresh dragon meat, I can't wait to find out what he tastes like. OH, lets ask Ajna after its over if its okay to bring some Bolas meat with us if it's good. Just the reaction alone from everyone that will see that conversation should be gold.>>4753234>Functionally coming up to a True God of Destruction in power>Already far beyond most other godlike being and godly subspecies>We shook a realm when we were far weaker>Get shunted into the Mana Space while Ascended BerserkerI'm shocked we didn't do much damage, especially with how little magic we are, we are on a small, small, small list of being that can tank Mana Space with meat power....we probably got noticed by Bolas.>>4753236NO ESCUSE, WE EAT ROCKS WHEN WE WERE KIDS, NO ONE IS SAFE! Unless they're rotting of course, that's just nasty.
>>4753180>>4753182>>4753185>>4753189>>4753198>>4753206>>4753230You agree to help fight this battle wins it. Writing.
>>4753175What's karns mama cost
>>4753267We never met mama, so we don't know.
>>4753272Mama holds all the mana though. We need to meet her
>>4753276We have to die for that though.
>>4753177“I agree.” you say, holding out your right hand. “If you can restore my Divine Dragon Force, I can kill your dragon.”“Then I look forward to once more fighting by your side.” he says, taking your hand in his own. You feel an unfamiliar power begin welling up inside you, like a rush of golden sunlight. It rushes through your body, you feeling your energy reserves climbing as that energy begins pouring more and more into your right arm. And before your eyes, forming of golden sparkles and coalescing appears your Stand once more!“GWROOOOOAAAAAR!!” Divine Dragon Force bellows, your crimson Stand reappearing and shooting straight up into the air from your arm. It flies up around you for several seconds before retracting, returning to it’s normal size wrapped around your arm, staring at the albino cat man. “Who’re you?”But he doesn’t notice your dragon, and is still pouring his magic into you. But then the flow stops, his golden power retreating.“That is all I can do. Did it work?” he asks you, clearly unable to perceive your Stand.“Yeah. Divine Dragon Force is back.” you answer him, then telepathically. “So, your dragon or artifact. Which should I destroy?”“Don’t break the Immortal Sun, unless there is no other options.” he says seriously aloud, not realizing you spoke telepathically. “Bolas isn’t the only planeswalker that is a threat. And should we prevail, we’ll need it. And don’t try using magic against those blue corpses, the Lazotep plating makes them virtually immune to magic.”“Well then, it’s a good thing I don’t use magic.” you reply, rolling your right shoulder a few times. “Now you and your soldiers stay back, let me take point.”“On the ground, or in the air?” he asks, you turning and looking up into the air. You then, after a few seconds of looking notice several thousand blue avian creatures, flying defensively around the giant dragon in the night sky.“Both.” you answer aloud, flying forward towards the enemy armies. They notice you almost immediately, and notice several other giant blue corpse-like creatures around the massive dragon. And one is wielding a bow, firing a massive golden arrow at you. You smirk, twisting counterclockwise around the arrowhead and grabbing the arrow yourself. Letting it’s motion carry you you spin around, and return the giant arrow to sender. Your throw sends it faster than the god’s now, arrow slamming into it’s head and knocking it staggering backwards and falling from what it’s standing on. As you do this, and into the sudden quiet feel every single eye around, living and dead focused on you. Time to show them all what you can do.cont
>>4753335https://youtube.com/watch?v=hLDtlBlSLxA“GRRRRRYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” you roar, unleashing your full power as your emerald aura surges. Your power explodes up, raising it to the limit as you begin gathering ki. Crossing your beefed-up arms, trying to restrain your power to let more build, you feel your entire body begin trembling from the force of the barely-restrained ki. Then as you feel your energy reaching critical mass, you throw your arms wide, and let loose. “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”Your ki explodes out from you in a crimson wave, the energy consuming everything as you unleash your ultimate Red Dawn. You feel the unstoppable wave of energy destroying the lazotep-coated zombies in the air and on the ground, tens of thousands of the corpses disappearing in an instant. After a dozen seconds or so you end the attack, crimson light vanishing and letting you see the aftermath of your blast. On the ground below is a crater, with a few broken shards of blue mineral gleaming and reflecting your emerald aura. You then take your stance, ready to go.But what do you do?>Call out this Bolas dragon, try and goad him into direct battle>Try and find that dragon, or someone near it’s ki to Instant Transmission to and go for the sneak attack>Charge straight for Bolas with Divine Dragon Force, try and get a first hit/final hit with your Stand to end this>Retreat back and let the soldiers fight what’s left of the zombies, while you telepathically reach out to try and get Chilli’s attention>Other(write in)

>>4753338>Call out this Bolas dragon, try and goad him into direct battle>"YOU WILL DIE TODAY, LIKE COUNTLESS BEFORE YOU, MORTAL AND DIVINE. FACE ME AND KNOW THE WRATH OF A TRUE DRAGON!"Dragons and Dragon adjacent races seem to take it personally when you say you're more of a Dragon than them.
>>4753338>Call out this Bolas dragon, try and goad him into direct battle>"YOU WILL DIE TODAY, LIKE COUNTLESS BEFORE YOU, MORTAL AND DIVINE. FACE ME AND KNOW THE WRATH OF A TRUE DRAGON!"It's very tempting to turn this into a father/son activity, but I'm not sure it would be easy for him to get here. Also I just want some good, old fashioned berserker action. Let's knock this inferior dragon off of his little magic throne.

>>4753410Thank you oh benevolent master of darkness and farm animals.
>>4753410Praise the GD, for he be a merciful being.
>>4753338“Hey, you! Asshole!” you shout, projecting your instructor voice across the sky towards the towering dragon. Who seems to notice you now, gaze focused exclusively on you. “God or mortal, you won’t be the first of either I’ve killed. So come at me, and I’ll show you the wrath of the Dragon of New Salda!”“What the actual fuck are you doing?” an unfamiliar mind reaches out and thinks to you. “Are you trying to die?”“If you’re not here to help, fuck off.” you reply. “I have to get back home, my family’s in actual danger. So I’m gonna make this quick.”“Such insolence. And from one so powerless.” the dragon says, azure eyes flashing. As the do, you suddenly feel an immense pull from behind you. A hole of darkness is trying to pull you in, and for a moment you glance that terrifying void you’d been trapped in before through it. Oh hell no, you’re NOT going back there!“HRRYAAAAAAA!!” you roar, exploding away from the void and towards that giant dragon. “You aren’t getting away from me so easily!”“Hmph. Fool.” the dragon says, eyes flashing again. But this time they flash a luminous black, and shadows leap from around you trying to bind you. The dark tendrils cling to your flesh, and you feel them sapping a bit of your strength. Not by too much, but enough to be noticeable. However you charge through, dragging the dark tendrils behind as you keep charging forward. You see the dragon’s lip curl at this, clearly annoyed with your persistence, and his eyes flash white. “I said! Begone!”“Counter!” a woman’s voice shouts, and a shower of blue sparks rain down over you. You turn, seeing a white robed redheaded woman pointing a staff at you from down near the lion man. You give her a thumb’s up, then turn your focus back to the dragon and keep charging forward.“Grrrrrr. Kill them all.” the dragon orders, and as one the blue mineral covered corpses all charge. The flying ones charge right for you, while the grounded ones simply charge for the other people behind you. “Leave none standing!”“Out of my way!!” you roar, gathering your ki into both hands before throwing your right hand’s Scattershot. Dozens of small blasts shoot out from your hand, detonating in an arc of explosions that destroy a swathe of the avian creatures. And immediately after, even before the smoke has cleared, you do the same and toss your left Scattershot. As the shots close in the first of the avian creatures flies through the smoke, your attack again exploding in the same place.cont
>>4753489You charge forward, continuing to gather your energy and tossing Scattershot after Scattershot before rushing into the smoke cloud. You’ve easily destroyed more than four hundred of them already, and just as you get to the smoke cloud change technique. Pulling your ki into your right fist, you unleash your Piercing Fist MkII and charge right into the smoke cloud. You feel the tight, piercing spiral of your energy smashing and shredding the crystalline armor of the zombies for several seconds before piercing though the other end of the smoke cloud your Scattershots kicked up. And as you burst through, are much closer to the dragon than you’d expected. In a flash of inspiration you focus, and instead of ending your Piercing Fist MkII, you stop and throw that attack at the dragon.“Take this!!” you shout, launching the piercing, spiraling point at his throat. The dragon’s eyes flash blue, your attack vanishing into thin air as you continue your charge.“Enough!” the dragon snarls, takes a deep breath in, and unleashed hell. Scorching flames in a massive cone explodes out, right for you.“BARRIER!!” you shout panickedly, creating your shield around you and expanding it out past normal. The dragon’s flames crash against your spherical shield, trying to burn you alive, but your Barrier holds. Then after several tense seconds the attack ends, you dropping the shield and staring down the giant dragon. “Is that all you’ve got?”-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 154 paused-
>>4753492And that’s it for tonight, enjoying the different battles today? Ready to throw down with an Elder Dragon, and see who’s the strongest? Curious what surprises Nicol Bolas still has in store, and who else is going to crash this battle? All this and more, in 12 hours when this episode resumes!

>>4753493I'm ready to make all the people in the peanut gallery marvel out the force of our girthy power swinging above they're heads. If Bolas gets us naked he loses instantly.

I just hope Raven did the smart thing and called Meloka when we got flung to...wherever we are now.>Ready to throw down with an Elder Dragon, and see who’s the strongest?I'm ready to make him eat his own skull, yes.>Curious what surprises Nicol Bolas still has in store, and who else is going to crash this battle?Unfamiliar with most MtG lore here, so just about everything is gonna be a surprise to me.Does Nicol Bolas know we're the guy who outright destroyed a god a few years ago and promptly fucked off?
>>4753505He might not recognize us because this is our second time in this reality cluster. But he'll remember real fast.
>>4753493What are our stats in this context? In card form?
>>4753493"Holy moly, Stromboli! Thanks for distracting that big lizard for me, made my mission a piece of cake. I'll be taking this immortal sun with me on a one-way trip to flavortown now, brother."
>>4753498??>>4753504Been awhile since you’ve used that one in real combat.>>4753505I’ll say this, someone else was awake and able to come helpThat sounds far easier than it would beHe does know about you. He may, or may not, have had eyes on that fight.>>4753514That would be spoiling. However, it’s safe to say Karn is a creature that gets a lot of +1/+1s>>4753520Ha! I will say this, at least one being in this battle knows of Babidi. And doesn’t consider him a threat
>>4753540Oh? My guess was wrong? Then perhaps the other threat...is one that made sure this very event would happen. The threads of causality exist to be exploited, after all.
>>4753543Ah yes. The man who did nothing wrong.
>>4753540>??Throwing the Piercing Fist Mk II, technically a new move.>Been awhile since you’ve used that one in real combat.You made it a conditional bonus that we have to naturally be naked, and not strip mid combat by choice. And since then you never let us fight nude since the last time Karn left a dick shape bruise that wrapped around Trunks's head.>That would be spoiling.What how? We aren't an actual card. I think?>However, it’s safe to say Karn is a creature that gets a lot of +1/+1sAnd starts with a huuuuuge number to spawn with, with a multiplier ability on tap.>>4753543The fuck would he want with us? We've barely talked to Guts.
>>4753550It's not the people that matter.
>>4753540>I’ll say this, someone else was awake and able to come helpGlad to see somebody else was an early bird.My bet is Nappa or Bardock.>That sounds far easier than it would beIt always does, but then again nothing's impossible for Karn...least as the common folk on New Salda see it.
>>4753553Okay, but still makes no sense to involve himself with us, he's got his literal fantasy land to live out.
>>4753550+1/+1 For every member of the Karn Clan. Times this creatures strength and toughness by the amount of ANGER tokens you currently own.
>>4753555Neither you nor I are equipped to fathom the strategies of such beings, anon.
>>4753554>It always does, but then again nothing's impossible for Karn...least as the common folk on New Salda see it.To be fair, the only people that know us in this realm is the Lion, the ex-Hero, and the scaly kids meal we're about to carve up and take home. Plus Babidi and his bullshit minions skulking about, and whatever jackass orchestrated getting us here to kill Bolas.>>4753556That's a big number...>>4753558Griffith is pretty easy to understand though, he just turned his country into his personal D&D campaign setting.
>>4753550Don't forget that all Saiyan creatures get +1/+0 while he's on the field.
>>4753561Just +1/+0, are you crazy, that's starter Squad Leader Karn? Our Karn gives at least +8/+8 on the battlefield and Double Strike, at minimum.
>>4753568If I'm gonna make a fictional card, even as a joke, I'm gonna make one that isn't actually busted.Victories mean nothing if they're handed to you on a silver platter, and Karn's always at his best when the fight is real.
>>4753571>Saying something this asinie when Karn is busted beyond all reasonYou realize our opponents are normally just as busted right? And we are currently standing toe to soon to be knee deep of dragon ass, with Nico Bolas? His card has to be broken you idiot, it literally makes no sense otherwise.
>>4753492“You’ve got to get back, if he touches you it’s over!” that same annoying mind from before thinks as it reconnects with yours. “If Nicol Bolas so much as touches you, he will shatter your mind and bend you to his will.”“I can’t erase your dragon problem without getting closer.” you telepathically reply, and then promptly end the psychic link. Which clearly surprises whoever it was, as they don’t immediately try and reconnect to you. That pest gone you focus on the dragon before you, and address him. “Was that all you’ve got, big guy? Some sparkles and a few flames, really? If that was your best, I’m disappointed.”“It seems I underestimated you, magicless creature.” the dragon says over the sounds of battle raging behind you. “But now I remember you. I saw your battle, on the starry plane of Nyx years ago. You were the one who maimed the gods of Theros, by embracing your inner dragon. You impress me, mortal. So I shall offer you the rare privilege of choice.”“A choice?” you ask, incredulous. But also intrigued. “About what?”“You can keep defying me, and die. You could join with me, and I can unlock hidden strengths within you that you can’t even fathom. Or I can send you back to wherever you came from.”“Wait, what?” you ask, confused. And more than a little curious. Your family’s lives come first, and the sooner you can get back to handle that green bastard the better. “I could just leave?”“Of course. You have no spark, so you cannot be added as fuel for my old, newfound powers.” the dragon says, smiling wickedly as his next sentence chills you to your core. “I’m sure that Daretti’s new master wouldn’t mind him destroying your home completely, while you are wasting time here.”Suddenly you’re a lot more terrified of this being than you were before. It somehow knows what’s currently going on at your home? So there’s no doubt it could send you there, if it were so obliged. But can you trust this overgrown lizard? Or should you just try and kill it now, and have the cat man send you back after they’ve deactivated the artifact?What do you do?>Agree to let Bolas send you home, you have more important shit to do than this. And from what he’s shown so far, this is clearly not worth your time>Summon Divine Dragon Force back, charge right for his head and go for a killing blow>Act like you’re thinking about it while searching for another ki signature out of sight, then try for an Instant Transmission Divine Dragon Force sneak attack>Create your Energy Body and rush in, put your physical power against this dragon’s while hopefully negating that mind break ability>Other(write in)
>>4754240>Bolas seems to know a lot...act like you might be swayed into taking him up on his offer of joining in exchange for information on Babidi. Keep him talking and focused on you while the others work.

>>4754365Save it for the next roll that matters.
This crit is making this one take a little longer than expected, bear with me
>>4754500Sounds like it will be huuuge
>>4754240“Wait, you...You know of Babidi?” you ask, caught by surprise. In response the dragon simply smirks, eyes glowing with azure radiance. If he knows of that wizard, and his connection to the bastard than just invaded your home, then perhaps you can use this whole situation to your advantage. And with you right here in his face, the dragon’s focus is on you instead of the cat-man and his allies. So perhaps, the longer you stay here talking, the sooner they can deactivate the artifact holding them here. “How?”“I have my ways.” the dragon replies, his gaze not moving from you. “I know much of the goings on across the realms. And of your...animosity towards the current Time God as well.”“How-?” you start, when suddenly your instincts scream at you that you’re in danger. And glancing down, you see the jaws of the lizard-like god rising up to try and bite you.“SSSSSHAAAAA!!” it hisses, you snarling in response. And without a second thought let your ki explode, waves of energy blasting the leaping giant back down to the ground. It lands with a titanic crash, you gathering your ki into an Energy Javelin, readying to throw it at the creature before glancing back to the dragon. Who doesn’t react, but you let your energy fade as you turn back to him and glare.“You’re offer to let me leave, instead of killing you here and now, is quite tempting.” you say, meeting his gaze. “If you told me what you know of Babidi, and how to find him, I may be persuaded to leave you alive.”“Ohoho? You wish to bargain with I? Nicol Bolas, the God-Emperor?” the dragon replies, and you get the feeling he’s smiling. “And for my information on that weak spellslinger Babidi, what would you offer in return? What can one such as you possibly offer me?”“Your life.” you reply, summoning Divine Dragon Force around your arm. And unlike the cat man, this dragon recognizes yours immediately. “Oh? You can see Divine Dragon Force?”“Young power thief. You cannot stop me.” Bolas says, addressing your Stand directly and no longer speaking to you. “You cannot comprehend the depths of my power, whelp.“I do not think I can defeat this one.” your Stand mutters to you. “This power of his is far greater than anything I’ve ever seen before.”“A wise choice.” the dragon answers it, returning his focus to you. “So, what do you offer in return for this information? Without your Stand, do you truly think you can stop me?”cont
>>4754531“Without my Stand? You say that like I needed my Stand to beat you.” you say, letting your Stand disappear. “Letting Divine Dragon Force turn your power against you was my way of offering you mercy. It would have been a much less painful death than me tearing you apart.”“Shaaaaaaaaa!!” the lizard giant hisses, leaping up at you again. So you decide to make a statement with this scaly bastard as it tries to eat you.“HAAAA!!” you roar, catching it’s jaws with your bare hands. You then throw your arms wide as you can, spreading the lizard’s mouth wide as you gather your ki. “BAAAAAAAA!!!”You unleash a powerful Mouth Beam right through the creature’s mouth, blasting out the back of it’s neck as you tear the top half of it’s head clean off. You then turn, glaring at the dragon while still holding the weaker one’s head before dropping it.“Call off your dogs, before I slaughter the rest of them.” you say, feeling your rage burning brighter. His eyes then flash a deep purple, and you hear a woman cry from below. Turning your gaze, you see a woman surrounded by several of the blue zombie like creatures that make no move to attack. She then looks up towards you both, glaring at the dragon before her own violet energy gathers around her hands. Looking down over the battlefield, it seems that she is the one directly controlling those Lazotep-coated beings. Good information for later. “And that is my offer. Tell me what I want to know, and send me on my way. Do that, and I won’t kill you.”“I think your attempts at a distraction have gone on long enough.” the dragon replies, and fires a blast of flames. Not at you, but up and well over your left shoulder. You turn, and see a man riding a pegasus consumed by the blazing inferno of the dragon’s breath. Or at least you’d thought him consumed, the man and his eerily black blade dropping down from the flames towards the ground below. “Now, this is your last chance. Leave now, or die like the rest of them. Your call, mortal.”Well, what do you do?”>Try and save that falling guy and the sword, you feel an odd urge to help him out>Instant Transmission behind his zombies’ controller, take her out right now and leave the dragon’s army leaderless>Enough talk, time for you to rush in and kill this dragon!>Try and telepathically reach out to Towa, and see if she can send you home.

>>4754536“Tch!” you exhale, blasting through the air away from the dragon and towards the falling man. If Bolas is threatened enough to take personal action, then whoever he is has to be a threat to the dragon. So you fly over, watching as the giant archer fires another arrow at him. But the falling man flips around, slashing his black sword right through the giant golden arrowhead. It shears through the golden arrow with seemingly little effort, causing the warrior to tumble uncontrollably as he falls towards what would be certain death. “Got you!”“Wha-you?” he shouts in surprise, seeing you rushing to his aid. “Look out! Behind you!!”But you don’t look out. Instead you focus, letting your ki form out into the Barrier around you. Focusing, you pour more energy than usual into it, doubling the Barrier’s size. And just as you do, you feel a wave of energy slam into your back. It’s not fire, or ki, or anything familiar to you. In fact, the pressure that it hits you with feels almost like that Time Patroller Trunks’s divine power! However your shield holds, blocking that burst of divine magic from hitting you or the warrior you’re trying to save. He watches in astonishment as you close in, bracing for impact as your shield is about to hit. But your Barrier doesn’t block physical objects, the man passing through effortlessly. However, to your surprise the sword he’s holding doesn’t, it catching on the shield and holding him aloft.“Huh. That’s new.” you say, flying up and out of the dragon’s energy breath before dropping your shield and catching the man. His right hand is scorched from being caught outside your shield, looking burned and severely damaged. Yet despite that he didn’t drop the sword, hand clenched around the blade’s hilt. “Hey. You alright?”“Yeah, I’m fine.” he says, and to your surprise the damage to his hand begins undoing itself. After several seconds he looks good as new, just frustrated. “Dammit.”“So what’s that sword?” you ask him. “Never seen one not able to pass through my Barrier.”“It’s called the Blackblade.” he says, as dozens of angels fly past you both towards the dragon. And are immediately obliterated by hundreds of arrows fired from somewhere down below. “Years ago this sword killed one of his kin, another Elder Dragon before it was broken. It is one of the few artifacts with the power needed to stop him for good.”Well, this is some interesting information. But what do you do with it?>Tell him to give you the sword, you’ll take it to his face and end this>Fly him towards the dragon, and help him drive this black sword into its head>Pass him off to one of the other angels or pegasus riders, let him blend in and sneak up while you distract the dragon>Other(write in)
>>4754789>Lend him some of your energy, to revitalize him and fill him with power.>Fly him towards the dragon, and help him drive this black sword into its head
>>4754800Generally I'm thinking about something like this too.Though would Instant Transmission be good for this, to teleport him and Karn near Elder Dragon to do this? Instead of flying?
>>4754801I don't think it would be wise to IT around Bolas. He might have a few dozen tricks up his sleeves to deal with teleportation near him.
>>4754801I'm leaning towards either instant transmission or passing him off and going balls out with indiscriminate scatter javelins and such to open the way. >dozens of angels fly past you both towards the dragon. And are immediately obliterated by hundreds of arrows fired from somewhere down below.Passing him off and only focusing on the dragon seems like it will just get him shot down again, and I'm not sure if we'd fare any better since the arrows may just go through our barrier
>>4754805Ok, right, that's wise.
>>4754800>Lend him some of your energy, to revitalize him and fill him with power.>Fly him towards the dragon, and help him drive this black sword into its head
>>4754801There is a reason I’ve EXPLICITLY told you that you can only Instant Transmission to others near him
>>4754789>Tell him to give you the sword, you’ll take it to his face and end thisWe're just borrowing it is all.
>>4754813I know. I was thinking about Instant Transmission maybe that girl controlling skeletons or somebody else, then sprint-fly from that nearby point to Bolas, but I did not made it clear.
>>4754809We made it through those minions without bigger problem, we can shield from dragon's breath, we got a chance to take him there more safely then he rest of those on battlefield.
>>4754809Anon convinced me though not to IT around Bolas. His final boss tier magical powers may be able to interfere with this. Maybe it is playing it too safely, but if actually disrupted the teleportation, it could end badly.

Apparently Karn likes to crit against dragons.
>>4754852Awesome.
>>4754887Bitch tried to bully our dragon, wouldn't tell us what we want to know, and is wasting our time. It's only natural.
>>4754852Based, for some reason it just updated for me to see this.
>we have DDF back>we are about to make bolas into sashimi>karn at this point is probably 30 kinds of pissed off.Sounds like one of those days.
>>4754789“So I just need to get you to that dragon, and your sword will do the rest?” you ask, the man nodding once. “Alright then, let’s do this.”“Gideon.” he says, you looking to him confused. “My name’s Gideon.”“Karn.” you reply, nodding back. “Now, let’s do this.”“CHARGE!!” you hear another woman shout, turning and seeing a flaming angel leading an admittedly odd company. Other angels fly alongside dragons, gryphons, and even demons, all following her. “FOR RAVNICA!!”“FOR RAVNICA!!” cheer the mismatched army behind her.“Destroy them all.” the so-called Elder Dragon responds, his forces matching their enemy’s charge. And just before the two aerial armies clash, the lead angel unleashes her power.“HAAAAA!!” she screams, flames bursting forth from her as she blitzes herself towards the incoming enemy forces. She blazes forth like a comet, exploding in a deadly fireball that destroys dozens of the creatures at once.“Let’s go.” Gideon says, you nodding to him and taking off around the left side of the battle, towards the dragon’s right side. You power down as well, reverting to your base form to try and appear less obvious to the dragon. “Don’t use your shield, as it will draw eyes. Instead use me as your shield.”“Wait, what?” you ask, confused. “Why?”“My magic makes my body virtually invulnerable.” he says, a stray arrow flying up at you both. He then surprises you further by holding his arms wide, the arrow shattering against his face. “Barring extremely powerful magics, I cannot be harmed. Now let’s go, hurry!”“Whatever you say.” you answer, holding the warrior Gideon before you as you charge into the battlefield. You fly around, dodging between the larger combatants while constantly closing the distance between you and the dragon Bolas. He probably can’t see you through all this carnage, allowing you to carry the warrior and his enchanted sword to the dragon and end this. And sure enough, after almost a minute you manage to fly though the battle, closing in to within an easy throw’s distance. “Alright, do it! GOOO!!”And you launch the warrior, pitching him right at the dragon’s gigantic head.“This ends now!!” Gideon roars, swinging his sword overhead at the dragon. This is it! “PERISH!!”But as his sword strikes the dragon’s head, the pitch-black blade shatters. cont
>>4755151https://youtube.com/watch?v=tNW9lmujZxU“What?!” you hear Gideon shout, feeling the collective hopes of the city’s defenders shatter with that blade.“The hero with the magic sword slays the dragon? Not this time.” Nicol Bolas says arrogantly, and casually swats the man down. He crashes down to the city streets far below, where you see dozens of the blue creatures immediately swarm him. And to your surprise the woman leading his forces is too, but you’re too far away to hear if they say anything to each other. “This world is mine. Not one of you shall leave this place alive!”“Dammit!” you snarl, then again transforming into your Ascended Berserker form with a roar. “RRRRRAAAAAAA!!”“The Blackblade failed, save Gideon and retreat!” the same annoying voice from earlier calls out into your mind. “We have to fall back, and come up with another plan!”“You cowards can try running away, but I’m not backing down!” you reply, again letting your enerald energy flare up around you. The Elder Dragon’s glare turns to you, his eyes narrowing dangerously. “I can’t afford to wait, my family’s in danger.”“Unfortunately for you, you’ll never see them again.” the dragon thinks to the both of you, the other man’s shock clearly evident. “You and every last one of you worthless creatures who tried to resist me shall die.”And then to your complete shock, the remaining giant blue creatures turn, attacking the Elder Dragon as yet another new dragon appears behind him! This new dragon wields a golden weapon similar to those of the otherworldly creatures, and thrusts it right into the bigger dragon’s back.“GAH! Wh-What?!” Bolas shouts, looking over his shoulder. “You?! DIE!!”A wave of dark energy suddenly surges from him, blasting the smaller dragon and the blue creatures back away from him. Two of the Lazotep-coated beings are knocked down as the third simply explodes, the other dragon knocked back into the sky. Which leaves Nicol Bolas wide open.“DIE!!” you roar, swinging for his broad head.“GRRROOOAAAAAAR!!” Divine Dragon Force bellows, you and your Stand both striking the divine dragon together. Nicol Bolas roars, and as the two dragons’ divine power clashes, everything goes white.https://youtube.com/watch?v=5COgfH-aUSw-Saiyan Conqueror Quest 154 End-
>>4755153And that’s it for episode 154, enjoying the ride? Ready to see what the results of this battle are, and how the battle on New Salda is unfolding? All this and more, next time on Saiyan Conqueror Quest!
>>4755154I don't foresee Bolas getting back up from this one. Looking forward to the conclusion all the same.
>>4755154Lets see him stop us, we should have done it first after beating his ass for a bit.
>>4755155Something... unexpected may have gone down>>4755165He’ll certainly try his best
>>4755237And he will be lacking.
>>4755153honestly bolas might cause karn to get so ass ravaging mad that he might very well hit berserker 3 from his bullshit, and then he will be even more of a sad boy then the time he had a damn moon dropped on him.
>>4755154it's pretty tenseforgot to write the telepathy from the vote before this last one, and the energy lending from this one? or will it just come up later maybe?
>>4755255....We’ll see>>4755295It’s possible.>>4755335>spoilerDidn’t forget the telepathy with Ajani, but did forget the lending with Gideon. However, it wouldn’t have made a difference. Centuries ago Bolas enchanted the Blackblade; and made it unable to ever harm any Elder Dragons. No matter how strong you swing the blade, it would break against him.
>>4755350>Centuries ago Bolas enchanted the Blackblade; and made it unable to ever harm any Elder Dragons. No matter how strong you swing the blade, it would break against him.Does that only apply if the weapon was whole, would it still work on say, some shards shoved in his eye socket.
>>4755356It applies to any piece of it. The Blackblade CANNOT harm an Elder Dragon
>>4755362Welp, he is going to die painfully then.
>>4755350GD, if Divine Dragon Force did manage to hit Bolos, or another Divine Figure, could it...I dunno...drain its divine powers to grow itself? Since, from what I'm getting, DDF couldn't harm Bolos because it was a far stronger and older divine being?
>>4755237>Something... unexpected may have gone down"Looks like I've got you both where I want you! With your divine powers focused on each other, I can finally do this! FLAVORTOWN, TAKE THEM ON A WILD RIDE THEY'LL NEVER RETURN FROM!"
Had an alternate Idea for how we could've approached. We could've cut a large piece of rock out of a nearby mountain/cliff/etc... and thrown it like we did those covenant ships at Bolas to cover our advance.
>>4755366Something is happening. There’s a reason everything went white>>4755371No. Divine Dragon Force works by turning a being’s own energy against them, destroying them completely. But in this situation, well, something may have gone wrong>>4755381But why though?>>4755384The entire plane is one giant city. You could have gone to the buildings, but the citizens may not appreciate that
>>4755400>But why though?He's probably looking for the six infinity sandwiches.
>>4756626This is such bullshit, if we were back on New Salda we might have a chance with Silver backing us up for a cook off. There's no way Karn on his own can take him, though.
>>4756659But you've forgotten Karn's ultimate recipe.Karn's World Famous Surf-and-Turf Chili, augmented several times over by the amount of children he's had over the years.
>>4750488>"Still your breathing, let the trace amounts of air in your lungs hold you. The Force can sustain you... listen to it.">you can bet your ass Darth Bane would have mastered it tooIf Karn learned this one to a decent degree, he would be able to fight in space for an extended period of time. Like Cold Clan and Tamaraneans. Not infinitely, but even a few hours would be great.>>4755154>And that’s it for episode 154, enjoying the ride?Great episode.
>>4756912>Not infinitely, but even a few hours would be great.That's kinda why it came to mind.Even with training, there's still certain weaknesses that are inherent in Saiyan physiology.I'd say finding ways to circumvent those weaknesses is well worth the time investment.
>>4756626Okeh>>4756912Glad you enjoyed.>>4756963Everything has weaknesses. Even gods(especially self-proclaimed one)
>>4756912>Not infinitely, but even a few hours would be great.Combine hamon with Force Toke It Nigga and sprinkle in some deep free diving lessons and you'll be able to fly between planets.
>>4757070Say GD. How long do you think it will take us to Master Berserker 2 completely? I'm curious how long we'll have to get used to Berserker 3 before Beerus wakes up.
>>4757265Depends on how long you decide to dedicate to it, but at least years
>>4757124>Combine hamon with Force Toke It Nigga and sprinkle in some deep free diving lessons and you'll be able to fly between planets.To be absolutely fair, we could probably fly from planet to planet now at top speed with a barrier going.Broly could do it as a damn infant, so it's totally possible.
What's the most unlikely thing you think could ever still potentially feature in GD's great crossover quest?For me it's gotta be Deltora Quest. Those gems are some shit, and the Shadow Lord is neat
>>4757318My fucking brother, Barda is adventure bro.
>>4757318>>4757326Can't imagine it coming up unfortunately, pretty obscure, Bionicle has a better chance.
>>4757318Those were interesting reads. However, since magic has not only happened but become more prevalent, other dimension-hoppers are more likely to start appearing. Especially after so many felt Karn’s presence, and saw him challenge the Elder Dragon one on one.>>4757327Before I’d consider bringing them in, I’d definitely have to go reread those old comics. However, think of what’s already confirmed canon to SCQ’s expansive universe. And you haven’t even crossed the main man or a single lantern yet. That you know of
>>4757468>other dimension-hoppers are more likely to start appearingpic related
>>4757468The main man? Sounds like a bastich to me.
>>4757475the right saiyan in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world
>>4757468>the main manI would hate to be on his shit list, but that would probably be the fight of Karn's life.Least until he gets wind of Ubo and remembers that live Kryptonians collect a premium.
>these rollslookin' good, I can sleep easily.
>>4757920For some reason, we always get crits when we're anywhere besides our own timeline.It's weird, because there was another DBZ quest protagonist who rolled obscenely well when completely outside of canon.Tofoo
>>4757969Just when I thought I'd forgotten the saddest fall on /qst/.
>>4757972I hope Karn gets to meet him in Hell, to learn just how bad things can really get.
>>4757475>>4757542Ha>>4757507Always loved his colorful language to avoid the censors, and that it stuck.>>4757545>of Karn’s lifeExactly.>>4757969That is what it looks like when destiny itself is against you>>4757972And this is why, as a qm, you can’t play favorites with characters. And why I SHOW dc’s as often as I do. A 92 failing a hidden dc is still bullshit
>>4757969>missed out on a GT adventure because anons decided to fly INTO acidI will never not be mad about that
>>4758532Never say DBZ fans are intelligent, current thread and runners here are exceptions to the rule, GrandDragon prime example of that fact.
>>4758532I mean, we had a moment where we decided to fly at an acid stand and almost lost a limb and a hand.
>>4758532>disables mc with a single failed roll>kill mc when gives up a fight not to the death>“Gee why do my players hate me?”I honestly think he got off to players’ outrage>>4759130The difference is how the qm handles anons’ poor decisions at times. One to two failed rolls shouldn’t outright KILL the MC unless they picked a fight they couldn’t win, against qm’s repeated warnings.>>4759151With two magical potions on hand able to heal even lethal grevious injuries.
>>4759168Like I said, this thread and everyone in it are exceptions to the rule, what you said didn't disprove it.
QM UPDATESince I wasn’t able to write the intermission for last week, the now-epilogue is already well on it’s way. Hope you all are ready to take a glimpse at a future battle one of your children will most likely be fighting. >>4759183True enough.
>>4759451SHE'S NOT READY GD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>4759451I think she might be able to befriend him by accident, and pet the dragon.
>>4759451Oh god, solo fighting that fucker was a nightmare.
>>4759451Oh thats gunna be fun for her.>>4759464>>4759483He's only a bad fight if your bad at the game. The only thing actually difficult about that fight is the GOD AWFUL Camera handeling. If you want to freak about Cali having to fight a Dark Souls Boss I'd be more worried about Dark Eater Mirmir or Slave Knight Gael.
>>4759534>GOD AWFUL Camera handeling. Exactly what fucked me over so many times. I just gave up on locking on to the mother fucker.>Dark Eater MirmirAll you gotta do is stay under the bastard like every other dragon boss.
>>4759464>>4759475I think you all are misunderstanding the picture. I never said she’d be fighting AGAINST Gwyndolin’s eldest brother>>4759483Fighting the camera is the worst boss, avoid locking on ever. Just like Midir>>4759534Remember, she’s a Blade of the Darkmoon. Who’s job is to hunt down sinners, and protect those targeted by them>>4759547>tfw doing a RWBY cos-playthrough because reasons>tfw Corvian scythe doesn’t bleed that bossPain
>>4759556>I think you all are misunderstanding the picture. I never said she’d be fighting AGAINST Gwyndolin’s eldest brotherSo what your saying is New Friend TM is go?
>>4759613Can you really call a mindless zombie a friend?

>>4761321Neat. Might have to download and see how it handles myself
>>4761447It's a bit janky like games those days were, but its the fun kind of jank.
>>4761458Looks like a less-complex Brutal Legend
>>4761544It is, well, kinda, it doesn't try to split genres every few minuets to do the bare minimum.
>>4761544>>4761566Also Brutal Legend was rad as fuck and got me into Metal. Chilli learning to Shred with Death from him would be hype as fuck.
>>4761604I’m still holding out hope for a sequel someday
>>4761613Best bet is hope some new start up game producers buy the IP.Because as is I don't have high hopes if one is made
>>4761566>>4761604Was a good game. Didn’t find it until years after it’s release, but I’d say it was a solid 7/10>>4761613I’m still waiting on Kung Pow’s promised sequel. It’s been more than a decade Steve!
>>4761625Imagine being a fan of a property where what little content made in the last 15 years is complete shit.I swear, Nintendo hates Metroid almost as much as F-Zero and Punch-Out!.
