Here you sit, reclining against a pile of rubble, armor black with soot and red with blood. The fortress, at long last, has been taken, and its would-be conquerors captured or destroyed. As the dawn sun begins to climb the distant hills, a fine mix of red and orange lights the remains of this poor fortress. Its tall black tower, felled and broken, litters the courtyard with crumbling black stones and shards of iron. Its once-proud defenders, overtaken by the enemy, now fuel the pyres that burn against the daylight.

The few that survived owe their lives to you. With the destruction of the tower, the prisoners were released from its arcane magic, and those that could be recovered are being tended to by the faithful. Karius, the man you personally rescued from the torment of the spike, has been fully healed, and wishes to speak with you.

He is not alone. The vast majority of the valiant force would clamor for your attention, were they not restrained by their commanders. Erivrus, though separated from you by death, of all things, requests your ear from the safety of the realm of the gods. Through all of this, the gods maintain an open link, appraising you of all you might wish to know.

The frost demon has reached Kharok. A sudden burst of anti-scrying spells greeted its arrival, shutting out a great expanse of the frigid North. Siskiv and your other companions wish to join you, but the particulars of their transport are up to you. The sergeant, as you know, is grievously injured, though recovering. Seven fortresses on the Western edge remain under Forusian control, all with non-active towers. Perin's main forces will arrive at the fortress line within two weeks.

Did we fuck up?

rolled 5, 5, 2 = 12

>>9531456
You destroyed another tower, this time avoiding causing the deaths of all the prisoners. You also assisted in the reclamation of another fortress.

How would you define 'fucking up'?

FG quest is back!
>>9531396

Okay, we've still got 2 days until the next mass port, right? Let's talk to Ervivrus first. Then the guy we rescued, then the others. Then drop a line to Kel, let him know we're ok. We just talked to Illian and Hretmar, so we're cool with them. Let's see what they have to say.

OOOOoooo hell yea, boy

FG thread!

>>9531396
lets go to the guy who we saved

An idea I've got for when we're not resting up for the next battle. Try to transmute ice to tungsten. Much higher melting point, much more durable than steel. A better shield material.

By the way. You're late, DM

I though you weren't going to do one today D:

>>9531657

We don't really have to do it with ice, we could do it with earth or collect some weapons from the enemies and try to transmute them to make it easier

>>9531602
That's how I imagined she looked.
Minus the hurr.

>>9531644
this and then let's talk to evirus

Alright, let's talk with people

>>9531663
Hey, don't criticize the DM unduly. I'm glad he's here and that's all.

Do pregnant Frost Giants produce soft serve ice cream instead of milk?
This is important for a campaign I'm playing in.

>>9531696
>Minus the hurr

and the durr on her shoulder.

Maya's physique: Is she a HUGE bodybuilder type, or a well-muscled lady?

>>9531737
well muscled lady
our previous body was a bodybuilder one

>>9531745
Ask him if that is what he truly wishes. Does he have a family or something in the afterworld ?

>>9531745

Let him do what he wants. He's that very tall fella, right ?

They do not.

>>9531737
Well-muscled, not to an excessive degree.

Man, I sure do hope we don't have to go through ALL 7 fortresses, one each session, like some kind of vidya game.

>>9531769
He is reluctant to speak of his family, or acquaintances.

"My wish is to serve until my debt is repaid. That is all."

>>9531781
He is. Since Reconstructive Reincarnation allows you to choose your form, he could become anything from a copy of his former self, to a Bira, one of the sapient spiders, or a giant. He could also transform into a guardian spirit, or something of that nature.

Preference?

>>9531850
ask him what does he want to be.

Last question before I set to work: Ethnicity of facial features and overall size.

>>9531850
>"My wish is to serve until my debt is repaid. That is all."

Just do what the hell you want! Don't put your fate into my hands.


Also, what dept? I don't remember him owning us anything

rolled 5, 1, 3 = 9

>>9531891
He doesn't think that should be relevant, but he would prefer to be human, for familiarity's sake.

>>9531906
Caucasian, as far as that narrows it down. She is fourteen feet tall, with all features in proportion to that height.

rolled 5, 3, 6 = 14

>>9531915
As penance for his cowardice, he pledged to serve you for as long as necessary.

Perhaps this is a matter best dealt with later. The gods don't currently have the power to reincarnate him anyway, since nearly everything's going toward teleportation.

On to the soldier? I'll keep this short if you'd prefer to get to more 'interesting' things.

He wasn't exactly human, was he? You said something about black eyes or something.
Or maybe my memory is playing tricks again.

>>9531946
All right let's make him a giant too.
He's a good fighter and another giant would help us a lot.

>>9532000
Don't cut off the small things! They are important. Let's go to the soldier.

>>9531360
after all this war time ass kickery we have been performing I would like to suggest we take the song Indestructable by disturbed as our battle anthem. it just seems to suit us

>>9532027
Well, you did die once.

>>9531602
>>9531602

God damn I always laugh at those pictures...

>>9532070
What giants are there and what are their advantages\disadvantages?

I say let him reincarnate in a form he think will help us best. We welcome any help but we won't force him to do anything.

>>9532097
mountain fire and ice
the differences are elemental prefference
the not obvious one is the mountain giants ability in arcane(or all i am unsure) magik

>>9532131
If so, make him become a fire giant, so he'll be immensely useful in SCIENCE! and fighting the FROST! DEMON!

If after all is said and done; Maya materializes in the modern world, do you think she could become the world's largest centerfold?

>>9532206
if we know magic, yes.

>>9532222
Ask him to go to some mages and explain what he felt, etc when he was in the pole, it might help to understand what manner of evil majick the forusians are using

>>9532027
>>9532027

Oh , you reminded me.

I wanted to post the link to this song after we defended the first fortress but kind of forgot about it the next thread.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5vuNf2XQPA#t=2m45s

This is how I felt, and I think it fits pretty good.

>>9532223
Don't we want to get our body back?

>>9532250
Yes, something like that. We still don't know what they are.

Tell that you are sorry you couldn't save other prisoners.

rolled 3, 6, 6 = 15

>>9532097
Frost Giants are extremely resistant to the elements, are unaffected by cold, have strong immune systems, and find cold/ice magic very easy to learn and use. They are unfailingly accurate with thrown weapons, but extraordinarily vulnerable to fire.

Mountain Giants can survive at very high altitudes, are resistant to physical damage, and benefit from a naturally calm mind, making them resistant to fear, among other things. They tend to be magically attuned, but are vulnerable to various evil forces.

Hill Giants are the offspring of Mountain and Frost giants. Most favor one side or the other, with very few being exact half-breeds. They are extremely long-lived, highly resistant to cold (though not immune), incredibly fast and agile, and naturally skilled with earth magic. However, most are afflicted with emotional problems, as they inherit a quiet, contemplative nature that is at odds with their other, aggressive half. It is common for them to succumb to schizophrenia within 50 years. Most are sterile.

How are Kel and Bem doing?

>>9532371
what about fire giants ?

rolled 5, 1, 2 = 8

>>9532131
>>9532171
The gods lack enough information on Fire Giants to bring Erivrus back as one.

>>9532250
He is being examined by the mages already, but it is a slow process, due to the immense physical and mental trauma he experienced. Even so, it is doubtful that his account will be of much use.

>>9532312
You tell him you're sorry you couldn't save all of the prisoners, but he thanks you for trying, anyway. Given what the tower does to them, practically any fate is better than being used to fuel those horrible things.

So, when is the next attack?

Has that other god figured out those runes yet?

rolled 6, 4, 6 = 16

>>9532404
They, along with the rest of your protective squad, remain in New Aarmour. Obviously, Kel and the soldiers want to join you as soon as possible, but Bem feels he wouldn't be of much use, unless the Forusians have something to barter for.

>>9532409
Unknown. Your readings and talks with the gods have given you nothing substantial about them.

Maya in 3D, take 1

>>9532436

also lets sleep and timeskip a bit

rolled 2, 2, 5 = 9

>>9532458
The next attack will proceed in two days, unless another tower fires up before then. The god who recognized one of the tower symbols is searching for more information, but it hasn't been long.

>>9532472
Very nice.

>>9532489
No, for various reasons.

Anything else you want to do before going to sleep?

>>9532472
You should use Maya to make Maya, just sayin, it's a fairly simple program

>>9532436
>Given what the tower does to them, practically any fate is better than being used to fuel those horrible things.
That really just makes our electrification of the previous tower's prisoners much, much worse.
Does everyone know about that? Is Maya going to have to undertake a personal Penance Crusade or something to make up for it?

>>9532621
They're waiting for it to assimilate the knowledge and become more powerful than the gods themselves? Only reason to do that is if they want to ally with it AND THEY SAID THEY WEREN'T GOING TO DO THAT!

rolled 6, 2, 5 = 13

>>9532626
There was no way you could have known for sure what you were doing. At least your actions caused the summoning to fail, or it could have been even worse. If you had done nothing, the prisoners would probably have died anyway.

>>9532631
There's no way to know what the Conclave or Intelligence are planning. Since the demon has made no further moves, and Perin has been invaded by teleporting ground forces supported by abominations, well...

Hey DM,

After all this crazy asskickery we must have "leveled" up pretty nicely now. We were using alchemy, magic and combat in excess all the time.
I started noticing that some rolls have become easier and easier )))


I propose that (when we have time) we PERFECT our boulder summoning ability as due to our race throwing a boulder is always a perfect hit. The fights would be interesting: Maya summons a pile of boulders and then snipes everyone

>>9532472

Remove the ponytail. Make the face a little bit thinner, it looks like an egg

>>9532683
Alright then. But if we get the opportunity, I hope we can let them know how disappoint we are with them.

>>9532739
>>9532554
>>9532540
Taken into account. I'll work on improving it.

rolled 6, 5, 6 = 17

>>9532711
As you wish. You'll practice 'Summon Boulder' until you can do it with extreme reliability.

Shall you sleep, and see what happens when you awake? Since Erivrus can't reincarnate now, there's no need to make a decision about him right away.

>>9532751

Let him reincarnate and fight again during the fortress siege then his pledge would be fulfilled. That's what he wants I guess

Since there are two days until the next teleport, I guess we should spend some time practicing lenswork by making goggles and binoculars, so we'll have the practice with lenses and focusing lenses before the next battle so making the arclight thingy to make an ion channel for the lightning knives will be easier.

Why I am so bald

rolled 6, 6, 5 = 17

>>9532801
He will return at the next available opportunity. Whether there will still be sieges for him to participate in, you don't know.

>>9532808
Got it. You'll try fashioning some lenses as well.

>>9532751
Yes. Though seeing as I wasn't here earlier, and I love hearing myself talk, my thoughts on the matter:

Having him come back is probably for the best, but we should make it clear to him that his contract has been fulfilled. Anything he does from now on is his own duty, and shouldn't be dictated by us. While having him join the fight is good, if he wants to retire and be a farmer we shouldn't stop him. As for what he comes back as, a being that can learn and understand Forusian fire magic will be helpful in understanding what they've been doing.

>>9532808

I wonder if our mad scientist guy had any more ideas

The little moments inbetween battles always make me daww.

>>9532906
Yeah, I like them too.

Sometimes you just want to hear the feedback from other people and get a feeling what they think of you.

Why don't we make a lot of giant-sized bladed discs with a convenient hole through the center, make a few hooks to hold stacks of said discs by their holes, and attach the hooks to an easily-reached part of our armor?

Maya's hands should be like 3 times human size, so assuming the diameter of each bladed disc is like 1.5x the length of her hands, they should be like 20-30 inches across, depending on the size of her hands relative to her body.
So in battle Maya would have a ready supply of bladed projectiles two to three feet across apiece that could be thrown easily and with unerrind accuracy. They'd do less impact damage and have less momentum than our cannonball shotputs, but there's something to be said for having a ranged weapon that cuts and penetrates on-hand at all times, for whatever situation might arise where we would need them, which are given automatic success as a thrown weapon.

Like Batman with his batarangs. You DO want to be Batman, don't you, /tg/?

Thankfully, nothing else requires your attention. The past few days have been tiring, and you're happy to get as much rest as you can before the next ridiculous event. You sleep for what seems like a week, secure inside a sizable tent beside the ruined fortress. When you awake, you are pleasantly surprised to learn that it's only late afternoon, and, though your muscles ache, you feel restored, and fully able.

At the request of the soldiers, you're allowing your armor to be scrubbed, one piece at a time, just in case you need to suit up quickly. While walking around in blood-encrusted Magma Steel surely makes you fearsome, it also surrounds you with a rather... disturbing smell.

Supper consisted mainly of piles of standard rations, in the absence of shops, taverns, or any good hunting. The soldiers were very eager to make you feel like 'part of the group', sharing stories of battle and stupid, if humorous, anecdotes, as well as useless knowledge. In such an environment, morbid humor is rampant, and you didn't particularly want to know that the Ulls occasionally eat the dead after an engagement (Forusians taste of bacon), or that Sergeant Lloe had to do some incredibly unsavory things to survive in a western swamp.

In the end, you survived the morning, telling of your first encounter with a DoD, and your troll-slaying adventure in the forest. The men were suitably impressed.

Given your skill with alchemy, your aid has been requested in the rebuilding of the fortress walls. Orders?

What sort of hair do you want 3D maya to have?
Ponytails are out of the question.

>>9533038

Help them remake the walls.
Then add ice to the outside of the walls and make an ironclad tower.
Then add a vast steam engine to the tower and make it into an ironclad steam tank.
Then pump the tank with enough magic that it becomes a primitive, not quite intelligent, but simple-minded beast.
Instruct the machine spirit to go on a Holy Crusade in the Emperor's name against the vile demons and heretics of Forus.

Opinion about Evivrus: Now that he's a spirit, would he be useful as a spirit/scout for us?

Also, anyone else like the idea of trying to transmute ice to tungsten? If nobody else likes that, I'll add my vote to working on the arclight.

Help with da walls. Doubles as more alchemy training

>>9533141

I think long, fine, flowing hair, unbraided and unadorned, is the best look for Maya.

Sure, let's help with the walls, but lets also work on our projects. Have we found a healer to whip up more potions for us?

>>9533188

More than shoulder-length, at the very least.

>>9533095
>You mean Vasian? Would you like to check in on him?

No, I meant that guys from previous thread who made like a dozen pictures explaining his insane devices. I was just wondering what other crazy things he might come up with.

rolled 5, 5, 6 = 16

>>9532969
These would not be very difficult to make. Would you like to use your alchemy?

>>9533082
Done. You spend several hours assisting with construction, sharing your knowledge of architecture and working with the few alchemists that came along. All of them have skills surpassing yours, but none can match the sheer amount of energy you have without magical aid. Being a giant gives you a serious advantage in stamina.

By the time night falls, the fortress walls have been reconstructed to the point where they can withstand some serious firepower, but they are still incomplete. You notice that many of the soldiers seem to have an aversion to fire, handling torches with extreme care and preferring to stand some distance from them.

>>9533238

And loose enough to flow out and flutter in the wind dramatically when we decide to rock the fuck out.

>>9533095
Tell him that he can repay his debt to us by doing all he can to aid Perin during this war. He should take whatever form he thinks would best suit that.

>>9533238

I like that she has so many suitors...

>>9533157

If tungsten will make us superior shield, then yes. But why always ice? I understand that in the heat of the battle it might save time but now that we are free we could transmute from other mass, I think it will make the process easier and results better

Sometime when we have a moment we should ask Hretmar if 'normal' Ice Giants have any sports. If not we could introduce them to hockey someday.
I'm sure it's rough enough that they might like it.

>>9533337

We can shape ice easily with ice magic, shaping other substances with alchemic magic is harder for us.

We should practice alchemic shaping, obviously, since we intend to use it to make a death ray, but the shield is something we're going to use, like, right after it's made, so we want it to be of the highest possible quality and we want it right NOW.

>>9533356

Batarangs seem to be of the highest immediate utility.
Followed by boulder summoning.
Followed by trying to craft polarized lenses.
Also, we should talk over our doom cannon plans with Illian and Hretmar, see if Hretmar can tell us how to make magical ice mirrors that will reflect 100% of all light on all wavelengths, or if Illian or one of his bros can bless mirrors and lenswork to make them reflect better or possibly even amplify light.

This fills me with happiness. Though I hope he chose a form that can have a life after the war... Anyway, if/when we contact Hretmar, can we ask him the status of him sibling Frost Giant god(esses)? On the off chance that they're more willing to work with us.

rolled 3, 1, 6 = 10

>>9533553
Hretmar doesn't think contacting the other Frost Giant gods is a good idea, but you insist. From him, you acquire the appropriate incantations, and try them, one by one. The majority do not answer, one brushes you off with a phrase you recognize as extremely vulgar, and the last actually asks what you want before cutting contact. If any of them care about what's going on, they don't care enough.

>>9533583
You are in luck. Ilian is a good friend of Felion, a god of light. He is very interested in your plans, and is capable of blessing your implements, among other things. However, since almost all of his power is currently being used for teleportation, he wants to be sure that whatever you make will justify the energy expenditure.

>Ilian innocently muses to you that he's never made a sentient siege engine before.

Fortunately, you have nothing to worry about. You press your hands to the ground, drawing on a familiar source of iron, threading it into a current that weaves into thin, sharp disks as it exits the ground. You make ten, forming them from carbon-steel, with six blades and holes in the center for holding. A short, curved hook emerges from the ground a moment later, and you consider grafting it to your armor.

You don't have experience with Magma Steel, though, and you're a bit wary of potential problems. Perhaps you could fit it to a belt.

Bipedal is good, but make sure to keep the center of gravity low or he'll be easy to knock over.

Ask for the next time we make a shield we should have it with an outer layer of Tungsten as suggested above but that should be attached to a Silica ceramic backing. The handle would be made of of the same stuff. A straignt tungsten shield would be plenty tough but it's a conductor and since we're fighting fire mages mostly the whole thing would heat up and burn our hands, suit or not.

Why, for fuck's sake? Why? Why the hell are you people so obsessed with communism and it's insane murderous people like Lenin, didn't they teach you kids history? As a person living in Russia I can tell you that communism is shit and will never work. Do you REALLY think that during that regime people lived as equals even at the best times? Who do you think broke their backs working 12 hours a day for 1/3 loaf of bread to support proletariat and their "oh so great" steady equal salary and pension? Peasants, that's who. Millions of peasants that had no rights, had no passports and lived in inhumane conditions.
It is a totalitarian regime which will always be evil.

I was just tossing that bit of info in in case they were considering it. Something that moves on multiple sets of legs is probably bet, since it can more easily withstand the loss of one or more of them. Alternately, something that moves like a worm or snake, without legs at all.

>I find the symbol itself to be rather cool-looking. In this world, the concepts of Marx do not exist, as such, and the hammer and sickle together mean nothing.

While the symbol is pretty cool and doesn't have to do anything with ideology if you take them apart, I was referring to the fact that some people keep trying to push forward communist ideology. Maybe their intentions are good and noble but the world doesn't work like that. There is always someone at the top and if the power runs unchecked he will become tyrannical maniac.

Communism works only on the small scale, and only in certain situations. Dreamwood's operation is fairly close to communist principles, though its miniscule population and lack (before you) of resources had something to do with it.

Of course, pure communism could not be applied to a nation and work as intended.

Communism only works at very very small scale. The family unit. Beyond that, it starts to break down.

So... let's boulder summon train till something interesting happens? Or do something else, like walk around the fortress, talk with people, see hoe soldiers are doing?

rolled 1, 5, 1 = 7

>>9534615
The towers are fueled by death. It is expected that their process could be stalled by removing the prisoners without killing them. It should also be possible to fell them with explosives, but these would have to be placed within the walls, since an active tower is nearly invulnerable to attack from outside.

The towers, like the summoning horns, incorporate an acoustic component, which is the drumbeat you've heard. If this could be disrupted, the towers could be stalled from a distance, but so far no one knows exactly how to go about this.

>>9534665
No problem. You've described the characteristics of the being in the picture, remembering it from your days of surfing the chans. The forge god likes it, and thinks he'll work with it. If this is successful, after all, he can create more of these engines, with varied designs. Ilian warns that this is a bit close to the Forusian mindset.

Anyone for constructing an arc light?

>>9534741
Yes, well, [insert name here] is an exception; he's chosen this. I would imagine that other siege machines like this would be just that: machines, without sentient souls guiding them.

>>9534741
>Ilian warns that this is a bit close to the Forusian mindset.

And that's what I was worried about.

>>9534741
>If this could be disrupted

Could it be disrupted with counter sound? Make some loudspeakers (I don't know how simple the tech is to make one) and blast some Perin national anthem at the highest volume? Would that work?

rolled 5, 3, 4 = 12

>>9534736
You can do whatever you like, really. As I said, boulder summoning will happen in the background, so it will take place regardless. Kel will arrive in a short while, if you want to skip to then.

>>9534791
There's no telling how these things, if they're even possible to make, would act without a guiding soul. Since the engine is being designed as a replacement body, it might not function at all without someone 'inside' it.

>>9534832
Unknown. You have described the concept of destructive resonance, and the gods think there is some merit in using it, but they don't know exactly how to do that.

Speaker design is fairly simple, in principle. You could attempt to make one, if you want, and since you have a reliable source of electrical power in the form of the magelock, it would be easy to test.

The hammer and sickle DON'T specifically represent communism, collectivism, socialism, or anything of the sort.

The hammer represents LABOR.
The sickle represents FARMING.

These things have been Maya's primary tasks since day 1, armed combat, fun as it is, is a sideshow to our industrial efforts.

The hammer and sickle together represents industry, workers and peasants.

Bolshevists co-opted the symbol because they believed they represented the workers and peasants and their interests. Not the other way around.

An equally appropriate symbol for Maya? The right-leaning swastika, it represents rebirth, progress, growth, violence, rapid change, violent change, basically all the positive aspects of Shiva. The left leaning swastika, of course, represents peace, stability, tranquility, serenity, and plenty. So the Nazi swastika would also work.

Another symbol that Maya could use? The Terran Empire symbol from Star Trek's mirror universe. It shows the world united by the sword.

Or maybe the Federation's symbol, laurels circling around a field of stars. Victory extending across space.

Or perhaps an arrow shot into the moon, with a motto like "pierce the heavens." Representing technology crossing the heavens themselves. Over time this symbol could lose the arrow-shaft and be modified to look exactly like Starfleet communicator-badges from The Next Generation.

If no one is against it, lets make loudspeakers and if we succeed continue by making an electric guitar and proceed to ROCK OUT

Time to see what you can really do. You've made a hand-crank generator and a lightbulb, among other things, and you're fairly familiar with the principles involved. If you can just apply those principles correctly, you can make a great many things. Hands to the ground, you pray for success.

Black and yellow liquid oozes from the earth, combining with a fair amount of dirt and rising like a small tower, shaping into a black box with thin walls. The front of the box sinks inward, becoming a cone that appears to transform into something like canvas. Inside the box, coils of wire combine and seat themselves, extruding two ends which are enclosed within small connectors jutting out of the top. Almost as an afterthought, a curved handgrip materializes on the top, just your size.

The soldiers hoot and holler, all within range dropping what they are doing to see your arcane device. A brief test with the magelock produces a high-pitched squeal from the speaker box, causing everyone to cover their ears and wince. It works.

>>9534741
I was thinking more about the runes. Any specific incantation/spell/etc. that could screw up the tower's operations? Like maybe a way to kill people without fueling it? What would happen if we transmuted some of the runes to runes of Hretmar?

>>9535215

We tried, we aren't strong enough to change the runes by either physical OR magical means.

What I'm wondering is if the local teleportation block works by blocking the gods' ability to see what's going on, or if it blocks all their powers totally.
If all divine power is blocked, then blessed items should lose their blessedness, right? Or at least whatever benefit sanctification gave them.
If they just can't get a transporter LOCK, though, that gives us some interesting possibilities.

The humans are impaled in spikes on a tower.
So if the gods were able to teleport shit, but couldn't see what specifically they were teleporting, then I suppose they could teleport, say, everything at impalement height to a new location.
Which would retrieve the soldiers and spikes, while leaving the tower they are impaled over intact but removing it's power source.
I saw Geordi do something similar in several episodes of Star Trek where transporter locks weren't working but they knew the approximate location of what they wanted and put the information in manually.

No specific incantation or spell is known. However, it might be possible to free the prisoners' souls without them being used in the tower's operation. This would have to be done by a god, though. Replacing the runes while the tower was running would have unknown, possibly disastrous effects. That is, if you could do it.

The field surrounding an active tower, as well as that generated by entities summoned by the horns, blocks the sight and influence of gods. Teleportation, among other powers, cannot be used on objects or people inside the field. The pantheon could try to brute-force their way through it, as they did to show you how to get out of the other realm, but this would require a lot of power, and might not work, or it might make things worse. Such an action might feed the tower, for example.

>>9535405
Unfortunately, the anti-scrying charms and field prevent the use of such a stone as a distance link. One could possibly be used to record, however.

Well, you are also in full armor.

>>9536218
Would you like to devote your considerable talents to figuring out how to make one?

>>9536218

Relax. Three things.
1. We already made a speaker.
2. A university full of bright minds was recently given both the equipment and the idea to make a radio; they should make a moving-coil microphone and working speaker system soon enough.
3. We can make a resonator guitar out of steel right now.

Once the radio system is functional (which, eh, could involve a lot of passive use of magic or enchanted items, for now) we will be able to modify the resonator to act as the mobile stage in a microphone, and then hook the whole damn thing up to a speaker. Or just have the microphone pick up the noise inside the guitar. Or whatever.

The limiting step at this point is that Maya doesn't know how to make a microphone of any sort. Once that difficulty is resolved, we WILL become a true METAL alchemist.

>>9536255
We had plenty of help, we weren't alone except for that one part. Though I can sorta see what he means. Still, he's here now. Am I wrong in assuming that he will be staying, rather than expending the power to return him to the city?

shit, DM, you think of everything don't you?
It will be a swing with the speed of the light, no one will notice the interruption

>>9536366

Yeah, there is that.
And I doubt that he could really be much help in getting the prisoners off of the pikes or anything any time soon.

But he's our apprentice, and we're building a death ray soon. We need a lab tech to work with and explain shit to. We need an assistant if we are to perform genuine mad science. Same sex lab partners are supposed to be Igors, different-sex lab partners are supposed to be attractive so that the hero(ine) can seduce them away from the mad scientist, Kel is an attractive man and Maya is a mad scientist, and thus our preparations are complete and our work can begin in earnest.

Grab and run, minimal bloodshed?

>>9536514

No. I will not fap to Maya.

On second thought, tungsten might be too expensive.
So let's go with lead.
We will strike deep into enemy territory, taking them by surprise with our lead zeppelins.
The first wave of lead zeppelin strikes should take them by surprise as well, because there is no way they are expecting lead zeppelin to show up.
Lead zeppelin will fuck up their shit.

So, what are the benefits of arch lightening?

Well, fuck it

let's just Kirov rush them

>>9536774

yeeeeeah!

>>9536768

Arc lights have very good light to heat ratios, so you get a LOT of photons for the energy input instead of a lot of bulb heat but a comparatively dim, humanly-usable light.
Arc lamps, for this reason, are used in high-intensity lighting situations where incandescents would melt and short out.
Which means that if, say, you want a beam of white light--a very bright, very powerful beam--or you want a high-intenisty photon pump for a laser's gain medium, you go with an arc light.

Also arc lamps simulate natural lighting better, instead of the somewhat more limited spectrum of normal lights.

The downsides of arc lights? They burn out relatively quick, are often waaay too fucking bright, yadda yadda yadda.

Man, I way past my sleepy time. I stayed up for this.

Thanks dm, see you later

rolled 5, 5, 1 = 11

This session will be ending presently. Is there anything you need to take care of immediately?

>>9536800
Do it do it do it do it do it! SubProc, can we do this? Pretty please with sugar on top and ice cream and ponies?

>>9536850
Armour for Kel so we can get into battle ASAP next time if we need to.

Whatever kind of anon we were before we came here, how could we not know how to make an electric guitar?

That shit should be taught in highschool.

>>9536841
Bye. Thanks for being here.

>>9536872
You can construct a balloon in that shape. You can, with aid, enchant it with the same mass-lightening spells that are used on the ornithopters. You can armor it, and fill it with bombs.

This is an extremely resource-intensive project. If you dedicate yourself to it, it will take a long time, if you manage to acquire everything you need.

Time to put all that knowledge to use. Kel is a good friend of yours, and you'd like to keep him around for a while. Sparing him from horrible, burning death will help you in that pursuit.

Tungsten and silcon. Tungsten and silicon. The alchemy band probes the earth for materials matching your preference, returning results as fast as you can move your focus. Pockets of minerals open themselves, shift, recombine, and head for the surface, splitting into thousands of pieces like a subterranean rainstorm.

Scales push out of the dirt, linking together like chainmail. Solid plates extend and connect, their backs covered with thin layers of heat-resistant ceramic. The exertion of manufacturing all of these components makes your head hurt, draining you considerably. But you continue, making a suit of armor worthy of the hunter.

Vest and greaves of scale mail. Armguards, gauntlets, boots, and helmet made from interlocking plates. Tungsten and carbon mixed together, heavy but difficult to pierce, backed by silicon-based ceramics, for heat resistance. Unfortunately, you were not able to make a full suit, but coverage is sufficient, you think, for the moment. Once he adjusts to the weight, you'll add to it.

>>9537103

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL EYEBROWS.

Also the hairline is too high, and the hair division is too centered on the face. The cheeks and cheekbones look just SLIGHTLY too wide, and I think Maya's mouth is a tiny bit wider and her lips, or at least her upper lip, look a bit thinner.
Maya's nose looks somewhat wider and has a more pronounced upward angle, and your model's nosetip doesn't seem to curve outwards slightly the way I think Maya's does, it's just completely straight on the nose.
I can't judge your model's ears from that pic, though I'm guessing they won't be quite right.

>>9537156
Oh good. I was worried we'd need to do some magical repairs on it.

You know, if we end up with a lot of spare time between each attack on the towers we could probably alchemy up some thin chest plate that could be given to some of the other soldiers. I'm sure they'd like ANY kind of fire protection they could find.

>>9537156
Can we spend some more time with Kel?
I'd like to maybe move on from hugging to more personal matters.

Do the Forusian Soldiers or Fire mages have armor that looks anything like this?

Tomorrow, lasers!

rolled 3, 2, 3 = 8

>>9537293
That they would. You'll see about this.

>>9537310
You can do as you like. The next session will be tomorrow.

Will do.

>>9537310
Last time when people suggested going ahead and getting married to Kel about half said no way and whole thread derailed until SDM put the whole thing on hold.

>>9537103
>Is it maya, though? (Besides the skin tone)
That girl is stick thin, add some muscle to her.

rolled 4, 3, 4 = 11

>>9537330
No. They seem to favor light armor suited more for mobility, with helmets incorporating grill-type faceguards. The mages usually wear robes, not armor.

>>9537380
If I do, we're going to more than likely end up with blue catha-chan.

Are you OK with this?

>>9537330

I'd rather hoped their fire mages would be wearing robes and no metal armor. Maybe some sort of magic armor, but leaving the metal armor for the nonmagic types.

Want to know why?

Electron guns do not penetrate Faraday cages. Conductive materials only carry charges on their surfaces. And full metal enclosure would provide a conduit for electricity to travel to the ground without going through the target's body.

When we killed the Fire Giant, Subprocessor DM did it right, he had us tear open holes in the metal armor and THEN shoot our daggers into the exposed flesh. If we shot him while he was still perfectly enclosed, he'd have just been seared, instead of becoming the main charge carrier between the anode to the ground state.

>>9537387
So, something more like this for Forusian soldiers?

:|

>>9537387
And something like this for the mages?

>>9537428
well... just a tiny bit more weight then.

We shall become the batgod!

>>9537310
>>9537357
we're trying to save the country and start a technological revolution here. Not go on dates with Kel.

>>9537510
But we're risking life and limb here!
Who knows if we'll even survive the next battle?

And return to our life on earth, right?

(Did the real Maya's personality take over our original human body?)

rolled 1, 5, 3 = 9

>>9537459
Something like that, but leaving the eyes exposed and uncovered. Their helmets seem to be equipped with movable visors, but those are rarely down.

>>9537491
No, not really. More like the attached pic. Simple things, often adorned by runes.

Has this thread been archived yet?

rolled 3, 1, 6 = 10

>>9537528
There is no way to know.

>>9537550
It has.

>>9537538
Ah, right
Thanks

So, same bat time, same bat channel for tomorrow Subprocessor?

>>9537528
>and return to our empty, meaningless life as an utterly average fa/tg/uy
Honestly. Yeah that IS the storybook ending and the fairy tale ending and all that, but "and then everyone died" is ALSO a pretty typical fairy tale ending, I just don't see any particular motive to ASPIRE to it, y'know?
