Well, what are you waitin for? Get a move on!

And demand some grub. We're freaking starving.

I vote we Condense our anger, we must use it to fuel our various magic/super powers.

Snap the neck of whoever is speaking to me in such a manner. All sentences must begin or end with either "Lord" or "Master"

Then we will feed it's hunger, and leave the world in the iron guantlet that our hatred for chaos forms. Lawful Evil, here I play.

>>6136816
We shouldnt neck break. Yet. We might need him. Still, pimp slap that sumbitich for speaking to use like we owe him anything.

A gleeful and maniacal laughter echoes in your mind. "Good good, it was a complete success. I can feel your very burning spirit. Dark and twisted, hungry for power." It seems the voice is coming from the stone itself. "Yes that is right, I created you. My greatest creation. And unfortunately my last creation."

>>6136849
Creation, a form of chaos. How I loathe it.

>>6136836
Slap? We aren't pussies. At the least we should break a limb. Maybe not the neck, but i do love the sound of snapping bones.

>>6136849
Creation? So, he IS going to try to order us around. We need to shut that shit down NOW.

Grab by neck.
Choke slam to floor.
Demand answers to questions.

>>6136849
"SILENCE!!!"
Smash your angry fist on the stone.

Oh fuck no. We aren't going to let some fucking voice from nowhere be the goddamn boss of us. DASH ITS EXPECTATIONS. PUT ON A DRESS.

The answer to everything in this thread is.
>WWWWRRRYYYYY
>Kill everything

>>6136863
Rising to your feet you feebly walk over to the voice. Your legs seem rebellious and weak, barely obeying your demands. Maybe you do indeed no nothing. Not even how to walk properly. Seeing the stone you grab it and focus your hatred on it. The voice comes even clearer now. "Do waste my time and do not think so low of me!" Red electricity erupts from the stone and paralyzes your body. Causing a great deal of pain. "I have not much time left, and as such I demand as my creation you do as I say. My successor."

>>6136929
A power granted is nothing like power seized. I say we do like Helel and rebel.

>>6136929
Lets get this over with. What does this voice want, he creates something that hungers for evil, so it must be evil, it says we're the last, so we're not alone. Let it speak. It will pass, and we will continue.

ITT: A roleplay version of Overlord

>>6136968
A stone telling you what to do? Insulting in the least. And now it tries to electrocute you? Fuck that. You rally everything and continue crushing the stone. The stone crumbles and cracks revealing a red stone. It only appears for a moment before dissolving into your skin showing you a blinding succession of images.

Battle, Slaughter, burning wastelands. Your vision is filled with them. Then the voice once again returns.

"Listen well child. I entrust you, the last of my power in that stone. What you see is the last war. The war against good and evil that overcame me. The world has long since forgotten evil. You are the last. Grow powerful and conquer. Destroy the world, rape it demolish all things pure and beautiful. Your power comes from the evil you spread. The lives you take your bread. The souls you drag to debauchery your wine. Go forth!"

The cave rumbles and shakes as a portion the wall opposite to you collapses and sunlight banishes the darkness. A cold wind blows and white snow begins to cover the tomb. Outside the cave lies the world.

North: Continuous Mountains
East: The Sea
West A river
South: Tundra Plains

West, FUCKING THIRSTY!

If the world has truly forgotten evil, then we need a HQ first before we go a pillagin'

WE MUST CONSTRUCT A DOOM FORTRESS.

>>6137136
Seconding doom fortress.

>>6137136
We need minions first. Whether they be things like Orcs, Demons, or evil humans. Personally I would love to have some Haradrim.

>>6137174
>>6137136
Images once again fill your vision. The cold wasteland vanishes and is replaced by a black and scotched wasteland. You stand tall upon a balcony over looking a massive host of armored soldiers. Most as tall as men, but feral and frenzied. Some large and brutish with bulging biceps. When the images fade you notice you look upon the same land, but the spender of this tower is long gone. And where has the army and its members gone? It seems the mountain you stand on is in fact not a mountain, but some kind of fortress. IT has seen better days.

>>6137185
Soldiers. An army is by far the best tool for the job. It seems nothing could possibly live here though. You decide to march across the cold wastes in search of any sign of life. The cold doesn't even seem to slow you down at all. Your skin doesn't even burn at the sensation of snow. Odd since all you're wearing is a ragged old robe. As the sun dives below the horizon and rises once again in succession several times this walking business isn't so hard either. Eventually even the snow covered pains and hills vanish. Towering pine trees draped in a coat of fine white dominate the landscape. Eventually you come across a group of eight covered white wagons. You can see by your count about 20 men tending the horses and oxen. they appear to be resting.

_Action?

>>6137384
Cautiously approach the men. Let us hide our nature for now.

rolled 5, 5, 1 = 11

Is this Hate Quest Mk.II or is that gone forever?

>>6137384
KILL THEM ALL. LET THEM KNOW EVIL HAS RETURNED AND IT WANTS BLOOD. MEN WHO SEEK MY POWER SHALL FLOCK TO ME BY TALE OF MY DEEDS ALONE.

>>6137456
As you approach the caravan you are spotted quickly and a small group rush out toward you. "By Valtir! What happened to you stranger?" This man is quickly pushed out of the way by a much broader and muscular man wearing expensive looking furs, his steely stare scrutinizing you. Maybe lesser men would cower, but you care not. The man looks like their leader but remains silent as his men continue looking between you and him. The exchange is interrupted by a pot bellied and bald man wearing red robes appearing behind him. "Kelgris, does not the guardian preach charity? This man looks sick and hungry. We must aid him." The man pushes by him and addresses your directly. Please my child, by the ever loving Valtir tell us your tale."

>>6137571

See: >>6137547

>>6137571
Say, "I remember nothing - nay who I am nor the lands I travel. These rags and flesh are all that belong to me."

>>6137612
>>6137613
"Kelgris, this man does indeed sound sick. His voice so sore it croaks likes the devil. I shall have no more of your coldness." The man who must be a priest of some sort guides you over to his wagon and inside prepares for you some bread and water.

How do you wish to end this poor fool? Or what do you want to know before you end him?

>>6137662
Break his skull with his own holy symbol. Leave the tent covered in his blood and use it to finish every last fucker here. After they're all down, feast on them and splay them about in macabre fashion. Hang them from trees, torture the survivors, and paint hellish symbols in their blood.

>>6137712
The old man is far to trusting. Leaving you with a poor excuse for a meal he kneels down to pray to an iron idol. It appears to be depict a brightly shining star. With his eyes still closed you walk behind him and raise the object from its pedestal. Still kneeling he turns his head to address you, "What is the mater my child? Are you?-"

The object is heavy in your hands, but with both arms you bring one of the sharp metal edges of the star down toward his head piecing his eye and rending his face. Blood pools on the ground. He is quite dead. Disappointing. You don't really feel like it was a challenge. The feeling is euphoric. You feel alive.

But how to deal with the other men. It took so much of your strength just to lift that thing. The men might overpower you in your weakened state.

>>6137796
No they won't. I'm unstoppable. My power is infinite. They will fall this day or be the first to join my ranks.

>>6137830
Hotheadedness is the mark of an amateur. Withdraw for now.

>>6137796
Crack his skull open with this star thing and devour his brain. We might need his knowledge.

>>6137796
skin him, hide th ebody, and pretend to be him as you live among them. Slowly sow evil in their community and corrupt their culture until they are ready to join your evil crusade!

>>6137830
Caution is for the weak. You steel yourself and hoist the symbol of good now drenched in blood and exit the wagon. Blood has soaked your robes and drips from your arm. The sight has caught the attention of the other men who approach you worried. "Look now the stranger is bleeding! You alright there? I thought the priest was looking after you." The man foolishly gets to close and with all your strength you swing the idol in front of you catching the flesh of his neck cutting the artery. The others stand in shock and disbelief. They don't understand. All the better, you crush their skulls too. As the fifth one falls. Heavy foot steps plod behind you. The man they call Kelgris approaches alone sword in hand. "My fortunes were right. I would find a madman on my journey."

Action?

>>6137929
Tempt him, he didn't seem like much of a holy man.

>>6137929
"Mad? I know full well what I'm doing."
Swing diagonally, force him to move around.

>>6137960
If he doesn't go for it, throw the giant star at his face like a ninja.

>>6137929
Order kelgris to kneel if he wishes to live.

I take it everyone here is playing him as a chaotic evil sociopath with no real goals aside from getting a huge kill count?

Reminds me of 12 year olds playing D&D.

>>6137960
>>6137975
>>6137991
"Killing my men who only wanted to help you? You're not just a madman, you're a monster! I wont hear another word from you."

He strides towards you with clear killing intent. Too bad, you think, good muscle is always hard to find. But examples have to be made. You throw the idol in his direction, but it merely bounces off his chest. Seems you lack true strength still.

Things seem bad, but you manage to step out of the way from his first swing aimed at your head. Your balance could be better though, causing you to fall prone on your back, the hood of your robe unveiling your face. It appears Kelgris appears terrified and momentarily stunned.

>>6138079
KICK

TO

THE

NUTS

>>6138079
Stab him with his own sword

>>6138079
Take advantage, stand up and stand very, very tall. Try and scare him a little and then kill him via strangling or something.

>>6138049
I was going to go for a chaotic neutral sociopath who is trusting the voice that he needs to sow evil to gain power but its gotten pass the chance to be subtle already :(

>>6138141
We'll happen upon another camp of unsuspecting dudes later. Right now, we're getting a taste for what we're capable of. Obviously, whoever made us sucks at what he was doing so we're doing badly in this fight. At least we now know that we suck at fighting for future reference.

>>6138079
slowly stand up and say "Run away Kegris, Run away and never return. This Land is mine now."

Disarm him and gather him close.

Intone that it is not through his efforts that change shall be effected to the world. But rather, through following us he will see a new age like no other dawn upon this world. The world, long overdue for a blowing tempest of discordant, blissful, powerful change, has grown stale, its hearts hardened by conceit.

He is chosen to be one of the elect who will change the world, and the impetus lies upon him to change himself afore he can hope to change the hearts of this world. The powers he believes he knows have grown complacent, and he must remind the people of the new glory.

>>6138049
>>6138141

I'll work with what I get. Also I try to merge suggestions together instead of choose the first "lol I killz them".>>6138103

>>6138111
>>6138115
>>6138103

You bring your foot up and land one right between the legs. You regret it at first because you feel like you might have broken your foot doing it, but the attack still has an effect as he doubles over. Favoring your stinging foot you tackle the man and seize the sword still in his grasp and start to push it toward his neck. He gasps in pain, his anger has returned now and you can still feel him shake in fear. Fear, it feels good. Almost as good as killing.

Finish him?

do eeet

>>6138198
This. We need our villain to move out of the gutters, and become a creature of cold sophistication.

>>6138217
Offer the man a pact.....

>>6138217
scar his face, strip him naked, and send him away to spread the tale.

>>6138217
No. Spare his life so we can break him and make our lieutenant

>>6138263
er, give him a chance to join you, and if he refuses, do this.

>>6138217
We broke our foot on his balls? He must have BALLS OF STEEL. He will make a perfect lieutenant for our army. Killing him is simply not an option. We have to have magical persuasive powers of some kind. Let's try and tap into our potential and force him to realize that following us is his only option. Ever.

>>6138217
Sink my bare hands into his shoulders and push, forcing my flesh to warp and infect him, slowly consuming all that he is as I overtake him, poisoning his soul with the blackness that resides where mine would be, were I weak enough to have one. As his flesh melts and slithers inside me, my body shifts, growing stronger, absorbing the heart's blood of this worthy but foolishly misguided opponent.

I stand once more, renewed, refreshed, and stronger than ever. I weigh the iron symbol and sword in each hand, judging which would make a better weapon. Weight, as well as reach and edge, shall determine my preference.

>>6138252
>>6138198
Holding his sword just above his neck, you give your ultimatum.

"Valtir damn you demon!" He breaths heavily, confused why he cant push you off him. "I don't know where you're from, but your kind has been gone for centuries! The light of Valtir will soon burn you to nothing too!"

Such a stubborn man. But something comes back to you. A vision of the old dark arts. Its hazy, but there may be a means to 'persuade' him otherwise. It would certainly be hazardous to your own well being though to use such magic.

>>6138292
0.0

Do this then: >>6138292

>>6138301
attempt the persuasion, now would be the safest time to try it with everyone else already dead and no one nearby.

>>6138288
brainwash him x2

Embebbing the sword in the hard frozen ground beside Kalgris' head you bring your other hand to his forehead. He struggles and squirms but it is far too late. You gather up the darkness inside and you watch as black tendrils of smoke twist and turn over and under your arm toward him. The power collects in your open hand and then suddenly taking the form like a nail pieces through his skull. Blue shards, glass like and clear scatter across the snow from the exit wound. You watch the shards rise toward the heavens. The serenitiy in which they do displeases you for some reason. It makes you ill just looking at them. The smoke is gone however, it has entered into the man who lies motionless but with eyes open on the ground. But now the price is to be paid, your heart burns and feels like it is being squeezed. Too much dark arts for your weak body to attempt. You can hardly move and breathing is hard. You hear shouts and approaching footsteps.

>>6138415
Trick these men. Tell them we were attacked by a monster that killed everyone. We helped Kelgris fight it off and only us two were spared.

>>6138415
tell my new minion to convince the new comers that we are both survivors of the attack and that the rabid animal that attacked went off the opposite direction when it heard them coming.

>>6138415
Cover our head and play wounded man.

>>6138459
haha we're thinking alike
>>6138460

>>6138459
>>6138460
Men from the caravan appear from behind one of the wagons that was blocking line of sight from the rest of the camp. There are about ten of them. Even with your arms in searing pain you bring the robed hood back over your head. Upon asking what happened you reply that ravenous beasts had attacked and fled. They see the blood and are alarmed but are confused why there are no animal tracks. Seeing the two of you in your state they carry you to a new wagon and lay you down to rest. They labor heavily to take the hulking and listless frame of Kelgris elsewhere. You suspect when you can speak more clearly they will begin to question you more intently.

What do you plot now?

>>6138531
Obviously it was a magical beast.

>>6138531
Wait for pain to go away while digging our memory for a way to get rid of the current weakness. There must be something

>>6138531
try to remember if I know anything useful that could help these people so I can try and gain their trust.

>>6138531
We need to recover, quickly. These peons may be fools before us, but they have enough common sense to see through our bullshit. We must discover a way to exert our influence over them. At the moment we are at their mercy, this WILL NOT continue.

>>6138531
Scare them to the core. Fabricate stories of a horrific beast not of this world. It left no trace other than death and you just know that it will be back. Tell them that we are not safe, that this place must be cursed. Implore them to leave and take us with them, for we fear for our lives in our weakened condition.

>>6138592
To survive the pain you lie in meditation from what memories you can piece together. The stone said, "The lives you take your bread. The souls you drag to debauchery your wine." Your body feeds on evil, and evil has been forgotten. You're body is simply emaciated and starved of its precious life source. You had felt slightly better before that spell on Kelgris, so the hunger must have been fed a bit. The greater your evil the more powerful you become. Spells will weaken you. All evil acts are not the same however, murdering while simple will not generate as much evil as giving birth to new evil.

>>6138648
I've got a plan, but it involves one of these idiots to come question us first.

>>6138679
Does it involve accusing one of this cattle of being a monster, who attacked us?

>>6138679
It is not clear how much time has passed, but eventually a man enters the wagon and looms above you. He takes a chair and sits down next to you. You can sense others right outside.

"Now stranger, tell us what happened. Kelgris, wont say a word, wont even eat or drink. So we want to know what happened."

>>6138637
See: >>6138726

>>6138648
seduce the first young maiden to come and check on me.

>>6138726
act concerned for Kelgris and ask to see him immediately

>>6138739
>>6138637
You tell them your tale of a magical beast and that death awaits them all with big, nasty, sharp pointy teeth. The man looks at you like you also must have hit your head. "You alright stranger? I hear people losing their minds this far north. But magical creatures? That's the stuff of fairy tales and legends."

You hear laughing outside.

>>6138786
Tell him that this is dead fucking serious. Kelgris isn't speaking for a reason.

>>6138726
"I've been fleeing it for months now, and it's pursuit has left me ragged and weary. I've barely any life left in me, and I want you to listen well. There is a monster of pure and absolute evil that walks these lands, it will not stop... ever, until it has brought an unrelenting fear into the hearts of man. Those poor travelers, they tried to aid me, Valtir bless them. But it found and attacked us as they were tending to me. Kelgris, he tried to fend it off. He saw it's face, such a hideous and twisted thing, not of this earth. I don't know what it did to him, it knocked me out and attacked him with a savage strength I've never seen. The beast fled when you arrived, it will be back, it will ALWAYS come back... for me."

>>6138786
confess that you may have lost your wits and ask for food and rest to recover

>>6138786
Tell them that Kelgris is ill. Try and convince them you have a concussion.

>>6138786
Tell them you have seen visions of a great return of the dark powers. But that they might, by the sweat of the brow and the earnestness in their hearts hope to fight it. The creature was indeed one of the darker powers - and the lack of tracks or spoor are the proof that it could have been no occurrence. "Rally around me, and my vision, friends!" You succor their fears and bring them comfort, and reveal to them a prophecy of a coming dark tide.

And you are tricking them, fooling them into your service on the basis of immaculate service.

Read the note

>>6138797
>>6138758
You try to convince them that the tale is true, but he remains quite skeptical. You then demand to see Kelgris, but he keeps trying to change the subject despite how loud you become. The conversation isn't going anywhere until there is a commotion outside. The man leaves you and dashes outside to look. It appears Kelgris is standing tall and emotionless surrounded by the men clutching his sword. You can hear them talking, "You alright Kelgris?" No response. "Can we leave this place now Kelgris, we want to get to Hinterport and catch a ship out of this hell hole."

Action?

>>6138833
what note?

>>6138857
Hug the note.

>>6138848
Did our little spell effect Kelgris? If so, command him to break down in fear and tell the same tale, we must have loyal comrades that will help us recover and defeat the "monster" and later they will become soldiers in our vast army.

>>6138848
claim Kelgris' condition is a result of your assailant, but that you possess knowledge to help lessen the effects, although an immediate recovery will not be possible.

>>6138848
Set Kelgris to KILL MODE.

Do the smokey zombify thing to the guy talking to you when he turns his head to look.

Instruct Kelgis to leave some of them alive for zombification.

>>6138848
Act concerned for Kelgris. In a way that doesn't sound too fake, say somehting along the lines of "You should be leading these people, Kelgris."

>>6138848
If Hinterport is more than a day away, I hint to my new mind slave that we should depart. When night falls, I think to myself, the time for evil shall be ripe.

If it is less than a day away, I instruct my mind slave to kill them all.

Get Kelgris to convince them of the monster. We are weak, and if we trick them into joining us, it begets new evil and will feed us greatly.

>>6138921
can we command kelgris non-verbally?

>>6138921
Killing them now is hasty. There's 10 of them and 1 of Kelgris, plus one of us.

We killed the others with surprise.

If we can get a few more men from here, even if only one, it increases our powerbase by at least 50%.

>>6138988
as an aside, it is amusing to imagine this is how the thought process inside our silent antagonist's head really is playing out.

>>6138893
>>6138819
>>6138809
With a flicker of your will you force words from Kelgris' mouth. It seems he isn't quite himself and not as well spoken as you would like. He tells the men of what attacked you and him and killed the others. The men are confused, but they trust Kelgris enough to put aside their disbelief for now. They view you as a little less crazy now, strange, but not so crazy. You cackle as the pawns move into place. The caravan begins to move once again.

After five days of travel the caravan comes over a final rise in the road and Hinterport comes into view. It is a town housing little more then 5,000 souls. It seems to have all the basic necessities and surrounded by a 3 meter tall palisade wall. The fields around the country side seem tilled but lie frozen in winter. Guarding the gate are armed militia holding odd hollow sticks. You have never seen such devices before, they have triggers like crossbows but are not.

The caravan will be waiting until the next ship comes to take them where ever. What do you plot?

>>6139009
get kelgris to convince them that he needs to stay because the beast is after him now

>>6139009
We will use this town as our first base. We will turn all inside into soldiers of darkness.

>>6139009
We head to a tavern to spread our story of evil.

The knowledge of evil brings fear, which brings more evil, which brings with us evil.

Try and get us a prostitute. Get her alone in a room. Do to her what we did to Kelgris. We can use her as an agent in Hinterland once we leave.

>>6139024
We shouldn't push the beast thing, they obviously don't really believe the story. We could probably convince them they just didn't see the animal tracks, however. After all, it WAS 5 days ago.

In any case, we should explore this town, see what evil it has to offer.

And get some less conspicuous clothes for the time being. Once we're capable we can dress in evil torn black robes, but for right now we want to fit in.

>>6139041
get her with child too. more then one way to create new evil

>>6139009

Head to the tavern and try and pick up on any evil deeds that are about, or local evils that exist in the surrounding area. Find out what the guards are using for weapons, because knowing your enemy (or potential friend) is key. Also, start to get in good with the rest of the men, make them think you're their new prophet.

>>6139080
Three points! Some kind of demon spawn that gestates quickly. We can get her pumping out a small horde soon enough.

>>6139009
Let's search for easy victims like beggars, prostitutes, whatever. We need to kill to gather our strength.

Work on becoming a priest so we can preach to these idiots.

>>6139061
we should probably find a way to get our control over Kegris to go dormant for now so he can think for himself and appear to have recovered but we can re-assert control later without weakening ourselves again. A sleeper agent if you will.

>>6139087
We don't want guards all up in this bitch.

For such a small town, a dead dude is gonna raise suspicions towards the people who just arrived. We need to increase our own power first. Use our minds instead of our muscles. At least for the time being.

Look in a mirror. We need to know just how well we can fit in, if at all considering Kelgris' reaction to our face.

>>6139099
Or rather that he has his own mind, but works according to our will.

>>6139107
>>6139078
This and this.

We don't want to look like Freddy Kreuger until we can hold our own.

>>6139091
while being a preacher would be useful I think that is too slow and long term a plan for the time being. Would be far better to find a way to exert some influence over some of the clergy. But through trickery not magic. We need commitment not mere compliance.

>>6139113
>>6139107
If we're mad fucked up looking, continue wearing robes and add a mask. Act like we're a leper or some shit.

>>6139024
>>6139034
>>6139041
You leave Kelgris and the others, but ensure through Kelgris that they wont be leaving until YOU want to leave (although not worded that way). Entering a local tavern the men seem to be in high spirits. After eavesdropping for but a minute you learn the harvest was good and the ice should break a week earlier then usual this year. Determined to spread your word you climb ontop of a table and begin to tell your tale of a horrible beast.

"When did a priest of Valtir begin to look like that kind of shit?" The men laugh and ignore your stories. Odd, it seems your stories while made up are not far off from doom and gloom preaching. What it has gathered is the attention of another member of the clergy. Cowled in the red robes this time a women, her face looks surprising young. She begins to scold the patrons of the bar. "This man looks troubled and you laugh at him?" The men brush her off and ignore her. Irritated she leaves.

evil breeds more evil, evil as in greed. We can work with that

>>6139128
or try a bit more magic to fix it if we can find enough privacy.

>>6139137
We must exploit this woman's inner hatred of humanity.

>>6139137
The woman is our key into the clergy. Find her and thank her for the kind words

>>6139137
Follow her

We might be better off staying here in the city. We can kill the rest of Kelgris's men and blame it on the evil beast. Then, we can "slay" the evil beast and become the big hero of the town. Hell, we might even be able to get elected mayor or duke or whatever.

Hmm... since we can change the story now, let's just say it's a pack of wolves or whatever.

>>6139138
control buisnesses and trades, dominate our competition, sell slaves or
we should build up our reputation as a hero, gain their trust, find other great heros and when they trust us backstab them

>>6139137
Follow her. Make her a member of our new world order.

I think we're in agreement of following this priestess.

Convert her to our evil. With force and magic if necessary, and get her pregnant with some devil spawn.

Reverse Grendel kind of shit.

>>6139163
>>6139162
>>6139161
You follow the woman outside the tavern and eventually catch up with her at the entrance to what appears to be a small church near the center of the town. Surprised to see you she gives a polite bow. "Oh, did you follow me all this way? If you have confessions or prays to make to Valtir I'll gladly assist you. I am sister Cathrine please come inside.

Being so near this church makes you ill. A large blazing star emblem hangs above the stone archway of the main door. Proceed?

>>6139137
Follow that bitch and thank her for listening and trying to help. Tell her you fear gravely for the others.

>>6139137
she is clearly angry and disgusted at the common folk. Under the guises of befriending and thanking her we must begin to nurture that anger, help it to grow and blossom into hate.

>>6139204
Make her into our Champion.

>>6139189
we should avoid using force with our Catherine. If we can convince her that she is doing what is just while working for our ends she can be a much greater tool then another meat puppet we need to watch and control more directly like Kegris.

>>6139190
Enter, WITH GREAT CAUTION. We are in the sacred halls of an enemy god, if this Valtir grants his servants the power to sense evil we might as well be wearing a neon sign: "I'M IN UR BASE CORRUPTIN UR D00DS." Lower our evil presence to a whisper.

>>6139231
force or magic

>>6139190
Lure her away from the church, tell her you need to show her something that brings the attention of the church. Take her to a private place, and skullfuck her with your magical abilities like you did with Kelgris. Then rape her while she's out, for the extra evil you'd get from it. (raping a priest or nun is quite evil, eh?)

>>6139190
Politely tell her that you don't have any confessions or prayers tonight. Tell her you're more worried about the rest of the people here and that evil best. Enter the church, but only if she asks. Tell her the story of the evil beast, if she wants to hear.

>>6139190
Proceed, but let's try to suppress our evil power while we are in the church and around anyone who might be suspicious. Let's try to get the sister in a confession booth if possible.

>>6139190
Be candid and honest while "leaving out" important details. You awoke with your memory missing. There was a great evil trying to exert its will upon you but you resisted and fled. Evil attacked you and Kegris. You forsee this evil spreading across the land. Have her confuse your passion for religious candor. Let her see that you are ready for a religious war but not which side you will be on. Appeal to her on the level that the common people don't understand what it means to be called or touched by the gods. Try and appeal to her alienation from the common man, subtly.

>>6139192
>>6139204
You decide to enter the church with her at the lead. You feel extremely weak when you step inside. Not enough to cause your step to falter, but it feels like your muscles have become bags of liquid. Inside you are see another older priest wearing a tall hat crowned with a star talking to a man standing tall wearing elegant furs and jewelry. At the intrusion of you and Cathrine they come to an abrupt end of their conversation. The nobleman walks by without saying a word. You notice Cathrine avert her eyes and shrink when he walks by. The priest guides Cathrine away from you for a moment and they have a small talk aside. Afterward Cathrine leaves while the priest escorts you to a small room behind the alter. He tells you to rest and will come to talk to you afterward. A stain glass mural illuminates the room. It depicts a man with long flowing gold hair hoisting a sword toward the heavens. The heavens are illuminated by a bright glowing star. The room also has a mirror, a bookcase with several books and a bed.

a goal in this quest
Gain new powers for ourselves. Make some young princess or queen fall in love with us>

If they have a girl pamper her and love her.
But if he is a boy raise him to one day rule the land.

>>6139277
Search our memories, do we recognise this man?

>>6139277
Read the books, all of them if possible. Knowledge is our greatest power at this point, any information we can find out about her or this particular church will give us substantial leverage in our quest.

>>6139298
Rather pamper and love the boy, and train the girl to rule the WORLD.

>>6139277
Stay away from the mirror. Try to conserve your energy as best you can without drawing attention. Wanna keep a low profile. Oh, and don't touch the books.

>>6139277
look in the mirror, see what we're working with here.

Take one of the belongings here to later put it in someone else's room.

If we make it look like it was stolen by the person whose room we put it in, that will breed more evil.

>>6139277
make sure you are alone, then check your reflection quickly. then look at the titles in the bookshelf. Scratch tiny barely noticeable if you are looking for it perversions of the star symbol into any scratchable surface, descreetly as if you are just fidgeting.

>>6139277
Look at ourself in the mirror, then read as many of the books as possible. We have a very short amount of time to become an expert on the religion, so we'd better hurry.

>>6139299
>>6139300
You cannot remember this man, but you hate him for some reason. You hate him a lot.

The books contain records of the town. Births and Deaths. More interesting are the scriptures. You deduce that the man on the stain glass is none other then a representation of Valtir. It is unclear how long ago he lived, but he is worshiped as a saint. To his followers he is man who sacrificing himself ascended to the heavens after defeating the evil of the world. His star shines every night in the same place anywhere. Its burning ensures the world will know no evil ever again.

>>6139277
Obviously this religion is all about light and stars and brightening darkness.

Our powers likely won't work here, and this is not the best place to start working on her. I'd ask for a copy of whatever their main text or teaching is.

Tell her we were on a spiritual journey when we were guided by visions of the dark times, and were lost in the wilderness for some time hence out sad state of looks. We want to learn more about her religion so we know what to manipulate to get them to become...ours.

Also make a mental not to learn how to change that force-full shadow tendril zombie brain thing into an aura of light suggestion next time, so they don't end up a zombie.

>>6139277

Then again when we do get enough power we could trap a goddess and have her sire a child.

>>6139344
We must twist his image, taint it, CORRUPT IT. Soon his star will be the very beacon of fear, we will make it so.

>>6139344
Damn you dad. I need to keep a clear head and you prejudices are causing emotional flashbacks. Ok, ask for a copy of scripture, claim we are on a pilgrimage, hence why we were in the wilderness.

>>6139350
do any of the books mention restrictions on actions of the clergy? anything we should know not to do in their presence now or might be able ot trick catherine into doing later.

>>6139344
Look at our reflection. We need to know if we are diiferent from other humans and how much.

The higher they go, the farther they fall. If it is possible, we need to corrupt Cathrine without the mind spike soul shatter thing. But first, we need to know more about this religion they practice here, it seems quite prolific. Most important, is Valtir real, as in provably real. Also, what kind of technology/magical level are we seeing here. Are we dealing with straight Medieval period (besides ourselves) humanity, or something more steampunky. When we mentioned magical beasts, there seemed to be a large amount of disbelief, so is there ANY magic in this world besides the forgotten arts?

>>6139360
note to self(ves) find astronomy texts later and figure out when the next eclipse should be.

Perhaps have a mildly convincing freak out. Claim to have a vision about a great darkness coming and a need to put faith in man, not in statues, then if you can muster the strength in the presence of others create a "bad omen" by something happening in the church to one of their holy symbols.

>>6139392
Well there are fucking guns

>>6139324
>>6139326
>>6139333
After glancing through the books, you decide to look at your reflection in the mirror. You do not know what to expect so you do it with extreme caution and pull back the hood on your robe. You hair is brown and currently ragged and unkempt, your skin seems not as horrifying or scarred as you'd have thought. You can't recall what 'beauty' is, but you're probably far from what these people call 'ugly'. What the problem is though, is your eyes. Your eyes burn like fire. There is no pupil or iris. The color is currently white. What appears like an illusion is hints of red flame jumping from the surface of your eyes. Staring into your own eyes causes the back of your brain to feel like it is melting from the heat and it hurts. Suddenly you are pulled back reality by the opening of the door to the room, you quickly put the hood back over your head and turn to see the old priest has returned with a tray and a steaming kettle and cups. "Are you thirty my child?"

>>6139419
"No I'm 28, you dumb bitch."

>>6139419

Say we older than we appear

>>6139419
Use a lusty far away voice and a suggestive tone and say "So thirsty, but not for liquid."

Gauge reaction, if vastly negative or ditzy tell her you meant for "knowledge or..hope" or something lame like that..Now that we know we're not ugly we should turn on the charm.

>>6139419
Smile and thank him for the offer. If small talk ensues steer the topic gently towards the noble visitor he was talking to when you arrived, but don't press it. This old man may be greedy and recieving money from the noble, or may have made an enemy of this noble for refusing to do so, either can work to our advantage, if we know which is the case.

>>6139460
We're talking to the old priest, not the priestess.

>>6139438
>>6139427
Unshaken by your comments he chuckles and places the tray on the work desk and begins to pour the beverage into each cup. "We are all children under Valtir's light young man. Now, you seem troubled, what misfortune became of you on your journey?"

>>6139460
>>6139427

are we gay now guys?

>>6139460
its the old priest not catherine

>>6139473
see>>6139410

>>6139473

I have a bad feeling this guy might be connected? be careful we are on his turf right now.

>>6139466
"That would be the Jarl Elrickson. An earnest and serious man, many people find his company stern, but he has made Hinterport Thrive for twenty years now. This place used to be nothing but a wasteland you know. But Valtir's miracles make it a land of opportunity for people on the mainland."

>>6139473
Tell him about visions of Evil returning and of beast that attacked us on the road.

>>6139473
relay the story emphasizing the evil of the beast. Also mention Catherine's heroic standing up for you in the face of the hostile heathen crowds.

>>6139496
casually mention how his helping the town must have also helped the church as well before going into your story about the beast. Gauge his reaction to the off-hand comment and the story as you tell it.

>>6139468
Gotcha, sorry, must've missread, kinda sleepy.

>>6139501
>>6139500
You tell your story. And the old man listens nodding occasionally. "Wandering that far north is quite a feat young man. That place is cursed. Valtir's star does not shine so brightly the further north you travel. But you need not fear creatures. Your mind plays tricks on you when you wander in such places. There are no such things as monsters anymore. That is Valtir's promise. Why there hasn't been an Orc, Ogre or Troll that has walked the earth in centuries."

>>6139496
Miracles eh?

Maybe this nobleman has some magical shit going on.

Guys, seriously, I think we could do with a little more subtlety here. "HEY WE'RE THE LAST LIVING INCARNATION OF EVIL, RIGHT? LETS GO RAPE A PRIESTESS INSIDE THE VERY CHURCH OF THE GOD THAT MAKES OUR HEAD HURT, LOL" is not going to fucking cut it.

>>6139553
"You never know. Sometimes man becomes the monster."

>>6139560
We're not doing it actually. We're as sneaky as one can get

>>6139560
Well, what could be more Evil than fucking over the being for who we are the last hope?

"The beast rose from the ground drenched in the blood of those he had slaughtered using a holy symbol... he looked at me and I felt my eyes burn in pain. Visions swirled in my mind and a great voice spoke. It told of a star that had grown tired of watching the planet it had died for grow to rot and fester. It tired of watching the faithful toil needlessly...
I fear the end of days my friend, because I feel that this beast is dark, but not made from darkness. It will lead the end of this world and give birth to shadow and flame. Not as evil, but as punishment. The sky will go dark for the world to be born anew."

>>6139560

Simple seducing will not work here.
We need these people to love us and want us to be their lord. And then when they say our names in praise with this "Valtir" we shall revile our nature and theirs after all they did as we bid them to with no threat of death but with a helping hand. After all is that so much more evil.

>>6139560
We aren't here to rape her, we are doing recon and we were going to talk to her but got saddled off on the old priest instead and are making the best of the situation. Also it may be difficult but if we can be patient and legitimately gain the trust of the clergy it makes the rest of our job alot easier as they are the only real threat to us once we regain sufficient strength. In our current weak state we may actually be less likely to raise suspicion/notice of Valtir so now is the best time to infiltrate his ranks.

I think in order to gain influence over this town, we will need to invade the mind of the Jarl Elrickson. Control him and turn him into a puppet.

>>6139583
Making people subscribe to this way of thinking.

>>6139581
How's about NOT getting blasted in the face by who knows what the fuck divine retribution less than a week after being created? Not much of a reign of terror if we only lasted 5 days, dude.
All I'm saying is, we're weak as fuck. We barely managed to kill one old man from behind while he had his eyes closed. Going straight from that to "hey lets violate a priestess inside our most powerful opponent's church" is probably not a smart move.

>>6139616
yes but we can't just leave here abruptly, we must finish our discussion with the old priest, thank catherine again if we can, and leave with valtir's servants at least friendlier towards us then when we first arrived.

>>6139583
>>6139574
The priest appears unsettled by your story, and brings the meeting to an end. "You should rest, rest within these halls and you shall feel the curse of that land fade away. You are welcome to stay here for as long as you wish. Leaving the tray behind he walks towards the door and opens it. There is a surprised yelp on the other side. The old priest investigates and you can barely hear a short exchange between the priest and whom you believe is Cathrine. The doors remains open as Cathrine enters the room carrying some folded cloths and a bed sheet.

"I thought you might need some new clothes. We always keep them around for charity so don't feel bothered by it please."

Can we blame one of our road fellows being that blood-thirsty monster? He killed 6 grown men after all.

>>6139664
SEDUCE HER

>>6139664

stop tempting us like a pedophile in a kids park with no adults around.

anyway do some small talk. find out how she joined the order.

>>6139664
Thank her for the aid she's giving and thank her for everything she has done for you so far. If there is anything you can do in return, she must tell you. Be as gracious as possible.

But - we cannot focus purely on her at the moment.

Change into the clothes, meet the Jarl.

>>6139664
ask if she could bathe you, act embarrassed at your "misspoken" words and ask her if there is somewhere you could bathe so as to not befoul her kind gift of clothing.

>>6139664
"Thank you, kind lady. You did not believe my story but still you've protected me from these blunt peasants."

instead of
>>6139690

i like this suggestion better
>>6139696

>>6139668
Suddenly changing story after banging on so hard about a monster is going to be sus.

I say we learn some illusion magic and start ghost-lighting.

>>6139664
Ask if we can confide a secret to her. Say that you do not feel you can trust the man we just spoke to. Assume she was listening in at the door and that is why they almost bumped into eachother as he exited.

Gauge her reaction. If she seems trustworthy pull back the hood and show her the fucked up eyes. Proceede to say this is what happened to your eyes after the beast looked into them. See if anything magical happens to her or whatever for staring into them.

If she seems un-interested or untrustworthy or unable to be swayed, bail out.

Also get dressed, but make sure not to put on any holy symbols if they are on the robes.

You accept the clothes but she continues to stand frozen on the spot fidgeting with her hands. The mood annoys you to no end so you decide to make her at least useful by getting more information. You ask her what caused her to join the order. "Me? I-I only joined recently, so I don't know much. She looks behind her and sees the door is shut and the priest is gone. "People don't really believe what you have to say so I can share a secret. Its been bugging me for awhile. I-I only joined the Valtir order to get out of marriage." She takes a deep sigh. "They were right, you do feel better after confessing."

>>6139727
Ask why she didn't want to get married.

Ask her, " ARE YOU THIRTY?"

>>6139727
"Maybe you should take a different path, then."

>>6139727

Oh joy she will be easy to help us now that we have some info on her lets see if we can get some more dirt and then maybe convince her to serve us.

>>6139748
Make sure to tell her it's safe to say whatever she pleases to you, nothing between you will leave this room. Built trust points to later spend on FUCKING HER MIND AND RELIGION.

You know what I'm thinking?
Graveyard.

Possibly only viable once we get a little stronger, but a disposable little cadre of walking meatshields could do wonders for us. Besides, profaning the remains of the dead and turning them against their own horrified family members is deliciously evil.

>>6139727
Ask her if her faith is strong. Then "test" her with a few questions. I think we need to know if we can pierce her religiousness (presumably absent) and seed evil in her soul.

>>6139727
act dissapointed when she mentions getting out of marriage, "so Valtir wants you to himself and will suffer no other suitors?" If she blushes or looks embarressed smile at her, if she seemed offended laugh weakly and apologize for the joke.

>>6139773
No. We're not here for romance.

>>6139784

BUT WE WILL NEED A QUEEN TO SIRE OUR HEIR'S
MANY QUEENS IF WE FEEL LIKE IT.

>>6139784

Turning a priestess (even a weak one) against her order and changing her into a mistress of the darkness is deliciously evil.

Ask her why she did not believe the story we told in the tavern.

>>6139784
not trying for romance, but if she feels flattered she'll let her guard down even more.

>>6139794
Then we'll brainwash her into it.

>>6139723
>>6139723
>>6139723
This now please.

You people are doing it wrong, our goal should be to become this: pic relevant

>>6139761
Soon my friend, soon.>>6139772

>>6139760
>>6139753
>>6139748
She bewails to you her story. Her father is the Jarl of the township and she was to be married to someone back on the mainland whom she had never met and was thirty years her senior. Unlike her other sisters she could not bring herself to do so. She joined the church to get out of the wedding. The argument was the Jarl probably trying to get the Priest to kick her out but the old man refused to give way. She prays Valtir will watch over her. She doesn't want to become some fat noble's bird in a cage.

>>6139804
say we promise to keep her secret if she'll keep a promise for us, then do the above.

>>6139784
Hey, we're evil. Not eunuchs. And a willing partner is just as good as rape.

>>6139797
All that requires is a bit of brainwashing behind the tavern.

>>6139808
Why not simply run away? Surely that would be better then tempting the wrath of Valtir with false dedication.

>>6139723
This.
Thisthisthis.

>>6139822
'Brainwashing'.

>>6139822
we get better minions if they join us willingly as opposed to being brainwashed.
http://www.imglv.com/articles/Commitment%20vs%20Compliance.pdf

>>6139723
She confesses that she overheard the conversation, and she also says she never saw the old priest look so unsettled before.

Really show your face?

>>6139833
no, this is about her right now, we wait until she is done pouring herself out, making herself vulnerable and asks about us.

>>6139846
Yes.

Ask her about the "miracles" Valthir makes. Ask if she've ever seen of heard a reliable story about one.

>>6139846
If she promises to not be scared and to keep your secret.

The monster did it.

>>6139846
NO

>>6139808

She is weak role on the charm our "creator" must have had on her what better act of evil then taking this girls virginity in a temple that she is using to escape the bonds of marriage.

she is a virgin right cause isn't that extra points or something in the book?

>>6139811
Something like this. Also, tell her "There is another way. You don't have to be a slave of the church, or a bird in a cage. You can can be a bird of prey, it all matters so little, because the world is coming to an end. Let me show you what has been done to me.. show you what has been shown to me..."

GET ON WITH THE MIND FUCKING OR ASK FOR SOME BOOKS AND GET THE FUCK OUT AND MAKE SOME PROGRESS HER INANE PRATTLE DOES NOT INTEREST US.

>>6139857
nevermind since we are already on this path...

"I...I was marred by that abomination." Look at the floor, ashamed as you pull back your hood slowly, feigning hesitancy.

>>6139846
Yes, show face while saying something like this
>>6139875

>>6139875
This.

Say the following.

>"There is another way. You don't have to be a slave of the church, or a bird in a cage. You can can be a bird of prey, it all matters so little, because the world is coming to an end. Let me show you what has been done to me.. show you what has been shown to me..."

I'm adding my vote to the feign injury party.

>>6139875
>>6139888
>>6139896
DO NOT ACT AS A BAD MEPHISTOPHELES WANNABE! WE NEED TO BE SUBTLER!

the world ending bit has a chance to recoil and make her more devout if she believes she needs to get in good with Veltir before the world ends.

>>6139906
Fine.
We say it depending on her reaction.
Okay?

ask her about running away but do not show face

>>6139906
YEAH LETS GO ON FOR EIGHT HOURS NO ONE HAS TO FIND OUT NOTHING AND GET NO PLACE BUT FEEL REALLY SPECIAL BECAUSE ITS SOOO SUBTLE.

ALSO CAPS LOCK.

You tell her to not be alarmed while you reveal your scars. She looks frightened but nods. Reaching for your hood you cast your face downward and remove your hood. Bringing your head up you lock your gaze with hers. Her blue eyes widen with shock. You tell her the creature cursed you. The sheets fall from her hands to the floor. You tell her you need help. Her legs collapse under her and she kneels on the floor vacant look on her face. Her own face darkens over with shadow as you notice the sun has begun to set behind you. The stain glass window has shifted its colors accordingly over the room. You look at the mirror across the room. Is it an illusion, or do your eyes look like Valtir's golden eyes for just a moment. What brought about this unwitting trickery? You cannot hide the grin.

you all stop now or I am turning this sociopath around and we're going home!

>>6139922
CAPS LOCK FUCK YEAR

>>6139906

dude we are so subtle we shit elfs/cats/master thiefs/ ninjas/whatever is stealthy as fuck

>>6139936
Well. That's lucky.

>>6139936

Roll with it. It appears that this"Valtir" either doesn't care for his people or has grown tired and seeks competition. Indulge him either way with his followers.

You joined with me to escape marriage, but I have so much more planned for you. The world has grown corrupt and complacent. It is time to wipe it away and start anew.

>>6139936
Ask her if she will believe in you now. Ask if she will help you warn the world of the coming end.

Lets sow fear through the old fashioned way, religion.

>>6139936
Quickly convince her that we are the avatar of Valtir, the beast has indeed cursed us, but due to our divine nature we are able to resist and channel his holy power. Deliver unto her a message of hope and salvation, but those ideas cannot be achived without fighting the beast and the non-believers.

>>6139963

That, or we have more power than we know.

>>6139936
NO EVIL YOU ARE THE VALTIR!
also this sure sound like "Overlord" plot.

We're in autosage.

>>6139936
Mmm, the Illusion is delicious. Problem is my plan relied on the flames of evil thing. What ideas does the rest of me have?

This shit is taking too long.

>>6139977
I'll leave it on this note and start part two in 2 or 3 days.

She's our Joan of Arc

>>6139989
damnit i was staying up to see how this was going, I don't want to miss the rest!

>>6139975
I'm pretty sure that was the point. The OP's picture even resembles the Overlord.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOW THATS EVIL

>>6139989
No. Make new thread. NOW!

>>6139977
please forgive my ignorance but what's autosage mean?

I've played overlord, I don't plan on ripping it off (too much). Starting slow because you're weak, I expect towns and nations to burn and be enslaved when the ball gets rolling.
