CURRENT STATS:

Living armor (Your body)
>Regenerative
You can heal minor damage such as gashes and holes punched through
>Arcane hearing
You can hear significantly better than your average mortal, but even that has its limits for the moment
>Arcane sight
You can see things that are normally left unseen. (Magic, spirits, ect.) Has its limits.
>Consume
You can consume things to gain power. The only thing you have tried it on was a normal steel sword.
>Creation
You gave birth to a horse fueled by the souls of the damned. You might be able to do similar things.
>Conversion
Your Glaive is now covered in the same substance as the armor, increasing its power tenfold (Can cut through rock, its as unbreakable as your armor. The blade glows a ghostly white)
>Flames of manipulation
Surrounds your body in flames that you can control completely, even the temperature. You mainly use them for defense at the moment, but you can do anything with them. When inactive, it appears there is a cloud of shadow around us. Mercy also gets this to a lesser extent, it surrounds his legs protecting them. (But a flaming hoof the the face will probably hurt a fuck of a lot more than a normal one.)

Your Cloak (Crimson)
>Has hammer space storage. (Enough for half a shark)
Currently contains a lockbox of treasure

Mercy(Your Horse)
>A horse you gave birth to, who has the soul of a young boy we killed a short while after the entombment. Fueled by the souls of the damned who inhabited the ruined city.
>Can use the flames to a lesser extent
Uses them to walk on water, and shield his legs from harm.
>No other upgrades

Glaive (Your weapon, no name currently)
>Converted into the same material as your body.
>Blade has a ghostly white glow and can cut through stone
>Same regenerative properties as your armor.
>Can imbue it with the fire that surrounds you

yes more blackknight quest!

All right! Black Knight Quest is back!

This quest makes me happy

YAY!

Vengeance (Your Metal snake)
>Born from the tortured soul of a creature you found in the tower, it begged you for a chance at revenge, to strike down the ones responsible for its plight.
>Can extend very long
>Very quick (Spring at the old mage quicker than you could even catch)

Drei (A young girl)
>You saved her and are looking for a place to keep her safe
>Vengeance's sister.
--------
Passing under the archway clearly not built for your size, you are greeted with a rather spectacular sight upon exiting.

Numberous multicolored tourches are staked into the ground lining the stone path you tred upon, forming a brillent path of light, branching off in different directions to rather large bonefires burning different hues of vermillion, purple and orange. With a collective "WHOAH" from Vengeance and Drei, Mercy confides to you that these youngsters would be rendered speechless if they had seen the capital on the Eve of fallen ice.

After a great deal of diffucltly moving through the tightly packed crowd, many of which just gawked at the sight of the armored behemoth, you had finally found someone to give you directions to an empty inn. The difficulties with having a girl interact with members of the opposite sex are quite obvious, however you were shocked with the amounts of hoots and whistling Drei had gotten. Perhaps she is a young woman, not a girl? You had judged her by how small she was compared to you, but it seems that the is an average height to these people. Its kind of embarrassing you have been calling her "Little girl" all this time.

Finally, after much maneuvering you are settled in an inn room you take up the majority off, You had to leave Mercy a considerable distance away when you moved off the main road, the horse was too big.

>What shall you do?

Oh boy, Black Knight quest!

Sorry about the delay tonight folks, I got invited to dinner and came back to find that notepad is terrible for copying things over into 4chan.

get into the tavern and try not break anything or cause too much trouble.

>>17480713

Use Frei, try to learn of other cinderfolk in the city. It's safer if she stays with them.

>>17480713
This, and make a 'gather information' check while we're at it, or see if this city has a library.

>>17480734
>>17480773
>>17480713
Who says you can't do all 3? combining.

>>17480734
>>17480773
This and this and while we are at it find out just how old Drei really is

>>17480643
Yeah, let's combine all three.

Do you think we could start training Drei to defend herself? Maybe start training an order of Justicars or something.

>>17480869

To even start thinking about founding a Knighthood order we have to have some form a GOOD reputation on our side.

Who the fuck is going to follow a Black Armored juggernaut with a red glow where eyes should be and who's voice sounds like knives scraping against metal unless they are a psychopath?

>>17480869

No man, we gave her a pendant for defence already. Let's just drop her in the safest place of the city and be on our way.

>>17480985

We have to at least get her set up decently before we leave bro, shes a young, apparently attractive woman, in a city of a people who apparently fucking despise her race.

You inform Drei that you want her to go out into the city and find out whatever she can about the city and if there are any other Cinderfolk residing here. But not alone, you plan to send Vengeance with her.

Before you give her the now shrunken snake, something in your mind makes you pause. You ask the snake how old they both are exactly.

>"I AM THE YOUNGER BY AT LEASSSSSST FIFTY YEARSSSSSS MASSSSSSSSSSSSSTER"

Oh. Well thats helpful to know.

Sending the eager Drei and snake out, you try and maneuver yourself into the tavern, filled drunken chatter, what a good place to gather information.

As you sit in a "Corner", you draw quite a few stares, but people mostly keep to themselves.

>What shall you do?

>>17481020

That's why I suggested >>17480734

Our best chance is to leave her with people of her own race, if there isn`t any cinderfolk citizen in this place it means we can`t leave her here.

>>17481030

Stay silent and hear other people talk with our arcane hearing.

>>17481067
This. Eavesdropping seems to be the better course of action, what with our 'unique' voice and all.

>>17481088
Have to agree with these guys seems the most sensible action

>>17481030

try to drink some ale. you know for comedic effect

>>17481030

Gesture to the bartender for a pint of whatever they serve here, then just eavesdrop of people while staring soulfully at our drink and lament that we can't actually taste it.

>>17481116
>>17481112
>>17481088
Very well

>>17481141
Hijnks ensue.

>>17481116

This.

That way if we hear someone say something that pisses us off horribly, we can shatter the damn thing in our hand.

>>17481112
>>17481116

I was against these, but after reading >>17481157 I'm all for it.

bump

>>17481363
calm down sparky op is typing

Getting the bartenders attention was more work than you hoped for, and you finally had to resort to slamming your fist on the table far harder than appropriate, drawing silence to a greater part of the room, and with a few angry gestures at the barkeep, you have a large ale placed in front of you, much to the amusement of the rest of the room.

And with that you listen. You hear stories of loves lost and found, of families new and old, of wars fresh and old. But one sticks out more than the others, and you get so engrossed in it you lift the cup to your face and try and take a drink. It doesn't work well.

It was about some strange murders that happened recently, seeming dehydrated corpses mummified as if all water had been pulled from them.

>What do you do?

>>17481385
Lean forward and listen in of course.

>>17481385

it seems we have a murderer too kill we need more information on this subject.

>>17481418
I second this but we should also use some heat to dry up the spilled ale without making it obvious

>>17481374
Was just bumping to get some attention to the thread.

>>17481418
And try not to fall over, that scene we just made was comedic enough.

>>17481385

Just keep hearing, don`t do anything.

Also, stop trying to drink, it's embarrasing.

>>17481385

>mummies?

>where did these attacks happen

green text is stuff he writes down

so, have we worked out whether or not we care about spooking people with our voice yet? seems kind of silly to be so scared of the commoners finding out that the red eyed iron clad behemoth has a spooky voice. hell it would be weird if we didnt have one

rolled 24 = 24

>>17481385

Listen in!

As soon as they're done talking, or if they look like they're about to leave, walk over there as non-threateningly as possible (or...you know, try to) and then use our spiky, spiky finger to scratch out a request for more information.

>>17481486
We are trying to lay low.

>>17481485
ya, its been a few centureys and we are in a forign country. I highly doubt anyone can read our language. thats if their even literate in the first place

>>17481499
And try not to look retarded while doing so.

I say we dance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8I_3uTZVsU&feature=related

>>17481655
I say you shut up

>>17481655

That's....a rather drastic way to recover from our drink-spillage.

>>17481655

WE SHALL DANCE ONLY IN THE REMAINS OF OUR ENEMIES, AFTER WHICH WE IMMEDIATELY KILL OURSELVES AS REDEMPTION IN OUR BLASPHEMY TO SLAANESH!

Wait and listen.

Identify the originator of the story, and if need be, follow him outside.

Placing the mug down, you focused intently on the conversation. "....was just over there past the old warehouse they found him, looked like he had been dead for YEARS, looked like an old man he did, but the boy was only reported missing a few days ago." The rather drunk man was surrounded by people, he wore a uniform, perhaps a figure of authority?

Taking a drink he continued "So we managed to track him right back to where he was killed. Right out in broad daylight no less! Some old bat came out screaming at us that some dark figured was chanting some strange words to the boy, and he just collapsed into a pile. Says he shot her a look in a bad way, and took the body away. We had to take the poor dear down to the station for protection. Bad news I say."

With that the man turned his attention back to his drink, and the crowed broke off. Smells like magic afoot.

>What do you do?

Hmm. Well we can hardly ask around ourselves,and wandering the streets seems pointless.

Either we corner the man later tonight and ask for where the bodies are kept and have a ganer at the boy ourselves, or wait for our charge to come backand we can investigate together.

yeah, were going about this the wrong way. we are/were a Knight, not a spy. we are good at killing shit. not being sneaky. we are trying to do what we suck at, this will not end well.

the locals will probably learn of us sooner or later, learning that we have been trying to sneak around their city will do more to alarm them than the spooky voice.

hell, if we want this done right we should hire a spy/beggar and just pay them to keep quiet

>>17481772
Approach. And say, as quietly and non-terrifyingly as we can:

>WHICH WAY TO THE DOCKS.

>>17481772

This is pretty interesting, we will investigate later. As for now, just stay there (don`t do ANYTHING) and wait for Drei.

>>17481772
I beckon for the man to come over to me...
Hopefully we can get him to wait for drei to come back so we can talk to him about this person...

AND we still need to clean up the ale that spilled with some heat so lets get on that before he comes on over...

rolled 80 = 80

>>17481772

Those magic fucks at it again.

Stand up and SLOWLY approach the table, we don't wanna scare anyone. When we get close enough, scratch a "Where's the station?" on the station. Let's hope the alphabet hasn't changed much.

rolled 26 = 26

>>17481810

We can't say anything non-terrifyingly; our voice sounds like a car crash happening in slow motion. Speaking aloud in this bar is a great way to freak everyone out, including the local law enforcement.

We're on Silent Knight mode right now.

So we are approaching the man as no threateningly as possible, and writing down a message to him? after cleaning the ale of course.

rolled 17 = 17

>>17481904

Sounds good to me.

>>17481904

I'd rather not, we have to wait for Drei first, and any intent of social interaction is not only doomed to fail, but actually secondary in our IC priorities.

We can investigate later, as I said

>>17481904

sounds good.

What would we write on? The wood of the table? Can't see the barkeep being particularly happy about that.

With knife-like metal fingers too? I don't see how this is any less scary than talking to him.

>>17481938
Good point, remember we reduced our amount of spiky protrusions.

>>17481953

we should just talk to them if they get upset about it thats their problem.

Final verdict, what are we doing?

>>17481969

>Still trying to talk

It's like we never learn!

rolled 35 = 35

>>17481938

Maybe you're right. We really need Drei to communicate effectively.

how about we just bite the bullet, say somthing blame it on a wizard and say that the guy they are talking about sounds like him we want to hunt him down.

if that fails ditch this place and head to the next city, worst case scenario we scare some people and mabey start a rumor.

How about we just sign to the barkeep that we need something to write with, and then tell them that our voice was damaged by smoke or sword or some such.

>>17481998

>blame it on a wizard

this sounds like it could work.

>>17481976

Wait for Drei, we can only cause trouble trying to interrogate this guy.

At this point we can only hope for the best...

Using a quick burst of heat followed by a faint cloud of vapor, you figure the best course of action is to just ask the man the details. Rising to your feet, you gingerly maneuver your way over to the seated man, until you are looming over him.

>"A WORD, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE."

Dead silence follows the booming grated voice. The man seems to drunk to notice anything and turns to you, sloshing even more ale over you. "Yeah what d'you want jumbo?" The mans lack of intimidation, even while drunk bothers you.

>"TELL ME ABOUT THE MURDERS."

People slowly start going back to their own conversations, trying to ignore the grinding voice that called out. Looking up at you trying to focus, he suddenly laughs "pffha look at you, your drunker than half the people 'ear, your face is all red." Tugging your hood farther down your head, you wished you could have done something about the glow. You are about to speak again, when he goes on telling his story, about how he had found a new lead in the case regarding the murders and he was given a recommendation because of it. He was here to celebrate but every one else was too busy with the "fucking murder crap" to come drink with him.

Taking another long swig, he continued, telling much of what you had overheard with some new information. "So thats when we figured that old missus was talking about one of them "followers of the water" types going around, new church them is, growing strong against us followers of the fire god." Taking yet another drink, he continued "They have a church down in the old underground, lots of water down there, they have this weird magic that lets them drink from anything. Whatever that means."

With that the man collapsed and started snoring loudly.

>Shall you return to your room to await Drei, or something else?

>>17482377
>>17482362
People don't give a shit with a 100. None of their business why the large man in black wants to talk to that other man.

Find an entrance into the underground, wherever one may be, and get down there. We've got bitches to kill.

>>17482380
see if we can get a map or somthing, we still have no idea where we are

rolled 44 = 44

I'm seconding the idea for a map, since Hadrian needs to get it's bearings around the place.

>>17482439
we should probably get more information before attacking what might possibly be just innocent cultists. A drunk isn't what i'd call a reliable source, especially one belonging to the rival cult.

>>17482454
>>17482485
I would just like a clear idea of whether or not were in the middle of nowhere or the capital of whatever passes for an empire these days

Placing a silver coin next to the man, you return to your room. Thinking back on what he said about the "Water God" and "Fire God", you are certain these two cases are very similar, yet there seems to be no elemental summoned here. A quick scan of the area concludes the local leylines are where they should be, as far as you can tell. You also wonder what is going to happen if the "Fire God" that you recently saw put down was the same God these people worship. Luckily only you and Drei know of what transpired there.

Lost in your thoughts, you almost don't notice a flustered Drei come back into the room. "That was my first time ever going through a tavern..." She trails off "I don't really want to do that any time soon, those men are....are beast when they get the drink in them!"

Vengeance slithers off her arm and coils back up around you and reports her findings.

>"THERE SSSSSSEEEMSSSS TO BE MUCH FEAR HERE MASSSTER. THE PEOPLE DONT SSSHOW IT, BUT I OVER HEARD SSSOME GUARDSSS SSSAYING THAT THISSS FESSSTIVAL WASS HELD EARLY THISSS YEAR"

Vengeance confirms that the "Fire God" is that same as the elemental, and that pilgrims were somewhat frequent to the tower. Before he can continue, Drei interrupts "Sir Hadrian, I got this for you....A man in a cart was handing them out to people that pass by..." She holds out a piece of rolled up fabric.

You unroll it, to find a map of the area.

>What do you do?

So guys,what's our theme-tune? I vote this:

Seems best to retire for the night. Inform Drei via mind talk that she should get some rest; tomorrow we're hitting the streets, starting with the witnesses at the guardspost.

>>17482598

Excellent, we now have the means and an objective.

We have three missions now:

>Find a home for Drei
>Gather more information about the current world
>Investigate this water cult thing

>>17482622
And what do you hope to get from absorbing the map?

rolled 65 = 65

>>17482598

Take the map and the girl to the dungeon to speak with the witness, then use the map to mark where the attacks have taken place and centralize a location/find the murderer.

>>17482598
Also, by "map of the area" I mean the city and immediate surroundings.

>>17482667
This, we don't want to leave Deri in a city full of desiccating murderers.

So do you guys want to go find these people now? It was night when you reached the city, its kind of late now.

>>17482722
Well, considering it is night time, it is the best time to leave an impression. Lets just try to keep our glaive in its sheathe until we know for sure these guys are evil.

>>17482735

i agree with this.

>>17482722

Is Drei still with us?

If so, we need to find a place to bunk down for the night, if only so she can get some rest.

We don't need sleep so we can just go about investigating once she's out. I seriously doubt anyone will try to rob and murder her if they think a giant hulking black knight is in the same room protecting her.

Eat the map just to see if we pick up any knowledge of the city. We can always grab another map.

I'm thinking we wait till morning before starting the search for clues.

>>17482722

Morning. Drei needs rest. Also, mindspeak with Mercy and ask if everything is cool out there. He is a child and can spook easily. Go to the tavern keeper and make sure food is brought up in the morning for her, as well as some bathing water.

>>17482743
>If so, we need to find a place to bunk down for the night, if only so she can get some rest.

Did you not notice the part where you are in an inn right now?

>>17482760

Oh shit, I skimmed through the thread quickly to catch up since I got in late.

Ok, buy a room then.

Put Drei to bed, then go out and do some night sleuthing.

It seemed a pretty even split to me.

Why are you guys against going out tonight anyways? What kind of evil cultist committing ritualistic murder would go about his business in broad daylight?

>>17482990

it's better to kill cultist at night instead of daylight.

Actually, it appeared that more than half the people here agreed that that is what we should do. It seems they did what i did and said "Screw rolling" after the natural 100.

Running around at night unannounced and killing people is not a good way to make a good impression on the King and his men. We need to be familiar to the guard, or else we're just another threat.

I seriously doubt anyone is going to try and kill or rape or rob her if they think that a hulking great black knight is in the same room guarding her.

Glancing over the map, you record every inch of it into your mind, even the alleyways that are impossible for normal eyes to see clearly are recorded into your mind. Placing the map into your cloak, you think of where you want to go, and an intangible line almost appears. You know exactly where it is and how to get to there.

>Arcane vision has leveled up! You can now find your way anywhere if you have looked at a map prior.

Drei was already half way into bed when you moved to the door, and went to ask where you were going when you paused her with a quick gesture, telling her to stay put with another. She seemed to have grown used to your silence even though you had been together a short while. Turning and starting to walk down the hall, before the door closed you heard a "Be careful."

Exiting the inn, you notice the streets have cleared considerably, however Mercy will not be useful where you are going. Circling the block several times, to insure you aren't followed, you are pleased to find nothing beyond the passing stare, you set out towards your destination.

This. I guess make way to our destination, and keep an eye out for robed figures in alleys.

>>17483157

Rolling anything higher than a d100 would decrease your chances of hitting 100 actually.

Hiding your rolls is only cheating when lower is better.

Writing. Also, the arcane vision upgrade doesn't seem to retarded does it?

>>17483180
It actually does.

>>17483180

no it's fine.

rolled 45 = 45

>>17483180
seems slightly op to be getting this early maybe? just never allow a world map in his hands and we will be good

>>17483180

Well the map requirement makes it a little restrictive, honestly.

rolled 46 = 46

>>17483180

Nah, it makes sense and is really requiring that we get a map to use it so it is limited in a way. Seems like a good plot-given power.

>>17483180
Yeah, it's pretty uh, retarded is a tough word, but yeah. Fucking gps in a car and shit.

Its only going to take you to locations, not objectives.

>King Kaden is in that castle plowing his wife in the bathroom! find him.

You are just going to get lead the the castle, and have to find out where the bathrooms are, and which one he is in. Just thought I would clarify that.

>>17483234

The vision is fine, just don`t do it every ability or this quest will get boring for our hax powers

>>17483234

So, with a world map we'd be able to find major cities and the borders between lands, but not much else. Useful if we intend on running across the ocean again one day.

>>17483234

Oh, ok, that helps.

>>17483234
Ok just so long as it doesn't get retard strong it should be ok

>>17483234

We apparently just figured out today's side-objective.

Catch the King in the act.

Continuing towards the entrance to the station, you keep a keen eye out for any vendors that still might be opened. Sadly there are hardly any open at time, save for the few decadent vendors that have taken there place, selling both pleasures of the flesh and and assortment of narcotics.

You also keep on the lookout for any black robed fellows skulking around, remembering that the murders took place in broad daylight. They may very well be inactive during the night, which is strange in itself. Why would you kill someone in the middle of the day?

Rounding a corner, you see that you have reached your destination, it is surrounded by walls, which are not actually that much bigger than you on closer inspection, and there are two watch towers. On over the gate, and one in the back of the compound.

>How are you going to get in to talk to the witness?

rolled 72 = 72

>>17483351
Arcane magic to open a gate with lockpick fingers

>>17483351
Wait, why are we going there? We were going to the sewers or wherever.

rolled 68 = 68

>>17483351

I say we simply walk in there, Boromir be damned.

rolled 5 = 5

>>17483351

If the walls are kind of short on us, think its possible to just climb over?

rolled 59 = 59

>>17483351

Knock and ask politely, saying we are an inquisitor or something like that and that we need to see the witness.

>>17483361
What?
>>17483362
I thought the general consensus was that we need to talk to the witness?

>>17483381

>saying

I don`t think they will let us in after that.

>>17483361

We don't have magical lockpick hands, sir.

>>17483401

Well, fine, then switch it to "and then say".

rolled 100 = 100

>>17483392
we can form spikes figured wouldn't be too hard to form them to make lockpicks....

>>17483414
Are you kidding me? Oh wow this is going to be interesting. 3 hundreds in one thread.

rolled 12 = 12

>>17483413

We don't really have a voice. It's been stated about a hundred times over the past four threads. Please read them.

>>17483414

Well, with a roll like that I find it hard to argue that we can make a lockpick. But what would a knight know of lockpicking? Wouldn't shoving small armor-tentacles into the lock that we can manipulate the bits inside with be easier?

>>17483414

Oh for fuck sake, I bet this quest is why everyone died in /tg/ meta quest, draining the good rolls


OP, I know it's a critical sucess, but I don`t think we should be THAT malleable.

rolled 35 = 35

>>17483414
Damn guess we have lockpick hands then hahaha this should be epic

>>17483426
We do have a voice, its just loud, and sounds like a disembodied voice talking through a plate helmet.

rolled 14 = 14

>>17483426
no man, it just sounds like the souls of the damned being fed to a combine harvester.

a really rusty one.

>>17483414
>>17483436
>>17483435
We still have the guards to deal with. And the watch towers.

>>17483436
should also apoligize seems 4chan+ keeps adding dice rolls to my email field even after I clear it more than once damn app... So sorry about wasting rolls

>>17483458

I guessing we could give ourselves back the aurora to an extent to cover up what we are doing right?

>>17483458

I think with that 100 we should just break the door with spikes, then walk like a boss to the witness

Or use the 100 as a diplomacy roll to the guards.

>>17483448
Or that, yes, I like that better.

>>17483475
That actually works quite well if op doesnt mind ill put my 100 towards that rule of cool and all

>>17483475
>>17483488
So we are just strolling up to the gate and breaking it open? No thought on the guards or anything?

rolled 58 = 58

>>17483458

We have a shroud of darkness we can use at will, just make it cover a larger area of room temperature black. Just waltz on in and let the guards come up with a reason why they let an important person escape as we save this sorry city.

>>17483497
Use the shroud like has been suggested but its a critical success maybe they cant hear very well from the festival :P

>>17483497
we could always yell something about someone invoking the wrath of the God of death while we stroll inside.

which is a lie of course, but they don't know that

Let's just enter, walk to the witness, get information (do we have Vengeance with us?) and then leave walking, if the guards try to stop us we just break their weapons and continue walking.

rolled 30 = 30

>>17483519
they DO worship the fire god, and we CAN envelop our self in fire..

>>17483541

Holy shit if we combine some of this stuff it could make for the most epic encounter yet....

>>17483541
hmm, very true...

switch it to wrath of fire god perhaps?

>>17483562
Yes yes... So blackknight lookin like we want to combine these ones...

Using that 100 I rolled hopefully if hes cool with it
>>17483475
>>17483519
>>17483541
>>17483562

Using your mastery of thermodynamics, you flood the area with cold, then suddenly heat it up, causing a thick fog to envelope the area. Then switching to your black flames, quietly creep up to the gate. The guards are too busy shouting at each other to notice any noise you might be making. Reaching the gate, you notice its locked, and are about to try picking the lock without any training whatsoever, when it creeks open and a short fat man with a loud voice comes out yelling at the "BLUNDERING IDIOTS, LIGHT THE FUCKING LANTERNS."

You slip through unnoticed, just as a lantern is stoked to life, you hear one of the guards crack a joke "Y'know Sarge, for such a small man you have a HUUUGE shadow." The laughter is soon consumed by cries of pain.

You are in. There are a few guards patrolling the compound, all of which are carrying lanterns now, however your fog is still quite thick. You see the main building to the center, and an entrance, and a barracks with sables to the left. A training ground is to the right.

>Action?

>>17483574
Well fuck. Sorry about that.

>>17483601

Straight to the main building, we gotta go fast!

head to the main building in the center

rolled 21 = 21

>>17483617

Much too late, but I just realized that we left Mercy somewhere in the city. Perhaps we should have shoved him into our cape.

rolled 25 = 25

>>17483676
Don't listem to them. We are motherfucking Batman.
Keep on sneaking,

>>17483676
i don't think they are serious

>>17483676
now im not sure i feel like they are already scared and this would break them... leading to any and all info we need... But a bunch of people seem to feel that it would be bad and im all for how the group feels so sneak in that main building

>>17483698
He is NOT going to fit. Half a shark remember.

So continue being batman. Writing.

>>17483601
no, get to the training ground, perhaps there is weapons to consume....

indeed captcha

rolled 69 = 69

>>17483741
We can do that after we get this main part done... on the way out

>>17483737
Also we are set to go for archiving op you think you want to do more than one thread?

>>17483741

Secure the target first, then explore. Then we at least get what we came for without as many problems.

Watching the movement patterns of the guards, you realize there is a pattern. Picking the side with the least guards, you make your way through the training yard. There are a few arrows scattered around and some pieces of broken blades, but nothing noteworthy.

Nearing the main building when you realize you have no way of getting in without being noticed. The doorway is heavily illuminated, and much narrower than the gate. Two guards stand watch there.

Pondering your next course of action, you are interrupted "OI! IZAT SOMEONE SULKEN ABOUT O'HER DARE?"

>Oh no! you are about to be discovered! Roll 1D100 with what you do. The highest roll of the next 5 rolls will be the action taken.

>>17483753
I hope we wont need another thread, but the night is still young yet. I'm continuing for the next little while at least.

Use your BatGrapple... I mean Vengance, to disappear in the shadows above.

maybe 5 rolls was too much?

>>17483877

Oh yeah, we still need more rolls I guess

Supporting >>17483852

rolled 48 = 48

>>17483852
This, and use booming voice to scare em off, pretending to be an eldritch horror of some kind

>>17483852
Fog you shall have.

Pouring cold air off of yourself like an iceberg, the approaching guard soon retreats muttering "I aint paid enough to deal wit' ghosts and all kinds of unnatural stuff. I needs some nice hot ale in my belly rite 'bout now...."

You have somehow avoided being discovered. These guards lack discipline. Skirting the building, you notice a drainage pipe going up the side of the building to the roof, which might have been a viable option if you were not clad in full plate. You also notice a partially open window with no light within.

>Action?

>>17483915

Is the window up above where we can reach?

>>17484038
Its on the second floor, you should be able to grab the windowsill if you jump

rolled 40 = 40

>>17484013
>if you were not clad in full plate
That's make me wonder... How heavy are we?
A knight in plate is heavy because the weight adds up but if we are an empty suit of armour we can't weight more than 20-30 kg...

rolled 56 = 56

>>17484013

Shove most of our body into our hammerspace cape, leaving only our head and arms out. Then climb the pipe.

>>17484084
Holy shit thats brilliant. Uh, you might only be able to get around to your waist in though.

rolled 58 = 58

>>17484084

GENIUS

>>17484119
screw it rule of cool man haha

rolled 37 = 37

>>17484119

We could crouch, half of a large shark fit in there before right? And to keep it from falling out from under us, just grab it with our pinkies or something, using only 3 fingers and our thumbs might be fine for climbing. Though, is the window beside the pipe? Seems stupid to climb if it isn't.

>>17484168
No, the window is farther down.

rolled 81 = 81

>>17484185

Climb to the top, get out of the cape, then fall and shove our hand into the wall so we can swing into the window. Simple.

>>17484199
See
>>17484077
You don't need to climb if you want to enter the window.

>>17484219

I know, but this way is awesome.

should we just throw vengence through and tell her to find us a way in?

We are climbing? Seems to be the consensus.

>>17484263
yep halfway in the cape

>op how many more posts do you want out of this thread before archiving

>>17484263

I guess? Might want to wait a minute or two, see if anyone else has a better idea.

>>17484328
besides just burning the building i have nothing

>>17484263

What is the building made of?

>>17484263
The consensus is going through the window.

>>17484351
Stone.
>>17484359
correct you are. What shall we do gents?

>>17484412
climb to the window and in we go

>>17484199
How about we go with this? Combine both ideas.

rolled 60 = 60

>>17484439
sounds good

>>17484439
Let's do this.

If there are no further objections, I should really start writing now.

You are about to do something you never thought you would EVER do. Stepping into your cloak, you pull it up as far as it will go, requiring you to bend your knees. You are now a torso climbing up the side of a building.

After a moment of climbing, you reach the height you think should be enough for swinging over two window sets to the open window down below. With a slight grate of metal against metal, you are airborne for a second, before grabbing onto the ledge just above the open window. Shaking your legs out of the other dimension, you find you can almost reach it with your feet, and is just a matter of letting go and you are at you entrance.

Peering into the dark room, your vision reveals that it is empty, opening the window to its full extent and after much maneuvering you step into the room. Its walls are lined with books.

>Action?

>>17484594

Look at book titles and listen for movement outside of the room.

rolled 69 = 69

>>17484594
Absorb all the books and gain all the knowledge

rolled 30 = 30

>>17484594
consume ALL the books... and determine if it is safe to move on...

>>17484625
What? Since when could we do that?

>>17484632
>>17484625
I mean, you can try but, it might not work. It didn't work with the gem after all.

>>17484634

Not the same person, but we could consume since day one. The knowledge absorbing is probably an assumption, but who says we can't eat books anyways.

rolled 11 = 11

>>17484655
who knows could run across a super powerful tome of spells... or sum such

>also next post and me thinks archive

very well, roll 1d100 to see if eating the books does anything.

rolled 82 = 82

>>17484693

>>17484675
Good idea about the archive. I'mm probably call it a night after that then. Unless you guys want me to continue.

>>17484725

If you're tired, sleep. If not, we did get a fair bit done so I wouldn't complain.

>>17484702
writing now

>>17484725

yeah man, if you're tired, get some rest, this session actually got some shit done.

Taking your time, you brush a hand past each shelf taking each book with you as you do, consuming them, feeding your mind. Surprisingly, it comes to you, slowly at first, but like a torrent of words, letters and numbers you find yourself able to casually shift though the tomes, bringing up individual pages and paragraphs.

Most of the books were just that, books. A few gallant tales of knights slaying dragons and rescuing the damsel, of mighty heroes rising to defeat the evil tyrant and bring peace to the realm. Others were slightly more disturbing, speaking of a malignant forces coming to the world, dethroning the Gods of men and throwing the world into chaos, of great unspeakable evil tearing the world asunder with the very force of nature itself, and of the lost Continent of Alshoder.
>Cont. next post

You drew that last one up and read. Read about how they confronted the messenger of the Gods and how they were thrown into oblivion for displeasing the Gods that be, their heretical progress rivaling that of the Gods, seeking to take their seat for themselves.

A burning fury rose up in you. So thats what your kingdom, your people have been reduced to during your incarceration? A mythical lost heretical city? Is this what your peoples suffering and triumphs have amounted to? Your people created the first stable triumvirate government the world had ever seen, headed by the fierce Elvish king An'or, to his right hand your own king and to the left the Dwarven chancellor. YOUR PEOPLE MASTERED THE ELEMENTS AND BENT THEM TO THEIR WILL AND ALL THAT IS LEFT IS SOME CHILDRENS STORY? AND THE MAGE THAT ENTOMBED THEM AND SUNDERED THE LAND IS BOTH REVERED AS GODS MESSENGER AND FEARED AS A BEING OF UNSPEAKABLE EVIL?!

Blistering hot crimson Flames explode out of you, the rage, sorrow and despair of an entire people fills your entire being. You are all that remains of their hopes, dreams and memories. Will you be able to support that weight, or crack under the pressure? Only time will tell.

Thats all for tonight folks, I hope you enjoyed it. I'll be back the same time tomorrow, which is around 18:00-19:00 4chan time.

>>17485072

Truly the world is not as it should be.

And we are the one lone man who stands up and knows it as such.

here ya go op

>>17485095

Thanks again Blackknight.

>>17485112
Thanks again for all your help.

>>17485122
No problem mate love your story more than willing to help

There was a lot less arguing this thread. Makes it seem like there are less people.

>>17485139
Maybe or maybe people are on a slightly better wavelength it is Monday after all

As always, I'm sticking around for a bit in case anyone has anything they need clarified or have questions.

>>17485119
No problem bro, I just write out whatever you guys do.

>>17485165
Still wondering about this >>17484083

So the books pretty much amounted to all being children's tales right? No major info aside from what you described?

>>17485195
You know, I hadn't really thought of that before. The only other time I came up was when we fell into the ocean, but that time we were mounted. I would guess around the weight of a heavy suit of platemail, with extra baggage of a soul and a rather large Glaive.
>>17485201
There was also records and bookkeeping. Like new guards, prisoner records, that sort of thing. I'm pretty sure we just set some poor sap very far back in all his paperwork.

>>17485237
We may have but it may come in useful next session we never know

So now that we've absorbed the writings from these books, can we communicate with writing now? Or after a few centuries is the alphabet so different that it wouldn't work.

>>17485265
Thats up to you guys to decide if you want to try. I've never said that you were unable to communicate through writing, you guys just always seem to decide to talk through someone, or talk ourselves.

>>17485282
That and carving a tavern table is bad etiquette.

>>17485321
That as well.

List of proposed upgrades:
Wing Cape (i.e. Metaknight)
Increased Hammerspace Capacity (We could hide all of ourselves!)
Penance Stare (i.e. Ghost Rider)

And a suggestion of my own
Bellow (e.g. FUSRODAH), our entire helmet could open up to a sort of cone shape to further amplify this. I can't help but imagine it sounding like that blasting, brass tone from Inception. Very little is immune to sonic damage.

>>17485560
