holy shit!

The Skinny for anyone new: Evil has been dead for 1000 years. In some ruined tower in the northern polar regions you awoke after all that time with no identity. A red stone spoke directly to your mind and told you that you are his last creation the last true evil being in a world where a man turned celestial deity used his powers to seal away all evil. All evil races still alive after that final battle a millennium ago were cursed and could sire no offspring so they slowly faded away. After crushing the stone for having the gall to tell you what to do you left on your journey weak and emaciated. After some adventures you've gained much strength even caused the end of a dynasty among other evil acts. The more evil you commit and cause the stronger you grow. Now the elves are slowly starting to return from across the sea, from their self-imposed exile. Convincing the lords of Angelfalls to fight back and retain their sovereignty and titles, you've been charged with the defence of the city, hopefully pushing the Elves off the continent, at least for a time.

Style: I'll wait some time between my posts before hacking away at the keyboard. Taking in every post with interesting commentary, dialogue or suggested courses of action, so long as they are plausible for my next part of the story. The more there is, the more interesting it is, the more I'll give back.

Before I resume I'll take any questions, if none, I'll begin again.

OP can you remind us of our abilitys?

EEK! EVIL QUEST!

Now we just need Lord Quest.

MOTHER OF FUCK, EVIL QUEST! AND IN THE SAME DAY AS BLACK KNIGHT QUEST! HNNNNGGGGG


So, we are back at the beggining?

>>17481264
I know right!

>>17481290
Soul Obliteration (Power cost High, Façade damage high)
Zone of Secularity (Cost Very High, Façade damage extreme)
Dark Imply (Cost Low, no Façade damage)
Shadow Step (Cost Range Dependent, Façade damage low)
Dark Storm (High, Medium upkeep, Façade damage medium)
The Caged Beast (Loss of Sanity and Humanity, Façade obliterated)
Essence Drain (Restores Power, Façade damage high)

Evil Power: Prince of Darkness (Path of the Tyrant)

>>17481303
No, it is still the midst of the Battle for Angelfalls.

>>17481303
Seems like we're still defending the city from elves. What is the current status on our troops?

I WANT TO BELIEVE!

But I am afraid, oh so very afraid of believing and then being left alone....again....

>>17481320


You will not leave us again right?


Right?

>>17481321
The last clash having just ended, you lost many of your levy pushing the Elves back out of West Angelfalls, but a weak front in the east meant that they pushed all the way into the noble's district.

As for leaving, graduated, mostly jobless and studying for LSTAT/pseudo summer break where I had no school break for three years. Should have the time to stick to once a week just for /tg/.

SOMEONE GET THE CHAINS BEFORE HE ESCAPES!

>>17481378

first of all welcome back.

second if we kill the elves leader will they run off?

So, will we finally be able to complete a scheme withouth the retards ruining it with cries for torture and meaningless destruction? We have lost many oportunities because of that, just look at this city!

>>17481389
Well fuck, what do we have left to work with?

>>17481378

we still have the guys with the cannon or were we sacrificing children/forcing them too power the light house last time?

>>17481398
You kind of killed their prince. Elves have a lot of them, big royal families so they send them everywhere to make things official. The real military authority stepped up to dash any confusion against the rocks.

>>17481414
512 - Knights (Heavy Calvary), 1,831 Men at Arms (Heavy Infantry) 7,250 Angelfalls Levy (Light Militia Infantry 1900 of which armed with Crossbows), 6 light cannons

At last count after the last fray.

>>17481423
There was also something that had to be decided on, through your martial strength at arms helping the men fight the elves or working the Lighthouse and trying to bring it back online.

Your presence in the west caused the huge push back there when Kelgris appeared on your command to torch the elves along with massed cannon fire.

>>17481471

so if we keep killing their leaders someone else will just take control?

>>17481530
They'd get weaker every time, but they are professional soldiers, not all just levies and lords like you have. It will continue to go down the chain of command for every leader you kill

>>17481524
Have our forces hold the line with Kelgris helping.

We alone sit in the lighthouse with the kids, using them to fuel it for our own purposes.

>>17481530
Seems like it, and routing them also seems difficult at this point, is there something we could do to break their spirit?

>>17481553

can we trick them into killing each other with an illusion or some such?

Welp, it's been so long since the last thread thaat I don`t even remember what happened exactly. I don`t even remember our companions apart from Kelgris.

>>17481583
>Doesn't remember Cathrine

>>17481583
Catharine (Mistress), Kelgris (Clockwork Dragon), , Mage neophytes - Children (22), Andrea (Half Elf Child), Gregor and Mirada (Master Engineer and Apprentice)

Also the soldiers under your command, shared command with the Duke of Angelfalls, Gagné

>>17481616

I remember the girl but only barely, I also remember we had a crow. Apart from that all is lost

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!

EVIL QUEST IS BACK BABY!!!!!

Returning the the citadel with great strides in haste you appear back to the table with the maps of the city arrayed and standing around the table Gagné and his lieutenants in deep contemplation with a hint of shock and fatigue.

Your pretense doesn't go unnoticed for long as a few of the lieutenants quickly and almost frightened part to let you into the circle, in fact a whole section of the table is cleared just for you, as if an invisible barrier pushes them away.

"What was that monstrosity?" Says the Duke, the only one with any measure of composure, at least enough to fake its appearance.

"A pet of mine, my good duke, I would indulge you an explanation if we had good time to discuss it. For now you can thank its existence to a great many of dead Elves and what we now have of the east city."

Gagné's face grows grim, "On the other side of the Citadel bridge the elves have pushed to that keep's gates. Even now they're preparing their spells to break it down. If they can pour all their men into that breach and move across the bridge to here... If they capture Lady Hinter, we'll be forced to sign any treaty they thrust upon us. And there is no safer place for her to go. And should she leave now, she will lose the rights to the city over the Elves."

>>17481720

can we do anything useful with the dead elves?

>>17481720
Then the course of action is clear, we crush them before they can breach the keep. If what the Duke says about Catharine is true they'll be throwing everything they have at that keep. If we can stop them, the rest of the city should be easy pickings.

How fast can we get to the keep?

Wait a minute, just had an idea. What's the stats on the corruption of the lighthouse?

>>17481812
If I spent all night thinking, I could probably think 1001 uses for Elf corpses. Rather, pose your own (plausible) uses you probably already have in mind.

>>17481847

can we raise the corpses and use them to hit the other elves with a rear attack?

>>17481844
It still needs magic power to build up and multiply the charge.

>>17481859
It would inefficient and draining, but you did once create walking corpse bombs of negative energy out of humans before.

>>17481906
And elves are a magical race right? Would they retain some of that magic in their bodies shortly after death?

>>17481940

this.

>>17481940
The nature of Soul Obliteration is that you completely blow any original essence and fill it to the brim with the unique negative energy that you exude.

>>17481963
Not him, but I was thinking of draining what magical energy is remaining in their corpses and using it to power the lighthouse.

>>17481963
So we can't just gather up bodies of elves who fell in battle and use them to power the lighthouse?

Well, there goes my plan.

>>17481994
...Actually, this could work. It would be the last magical action you take in the near future though. And it would only give you one shot.

There are other things to say and prepare for I'm sure though.

rolled 26 = 26

>>17482032

I'd say we take as many as we can, just in case.

Couldn't hurt to have a Plan F, just in case shit goes south.

>>17482032

time to power the lighthouse then.

>>17482032
Alright, have our troops move to intercept the elves assaulting the keep while we gather up the bodies to power the lighthouse.

>>17482032
Have OUR people, not the city's garrison who would question it, gather the corpses of elves. And anyone else that has recently died, and store them in the lighthouse.

Position the cannons at strategic locations that can be best defended. Chokepoints, high towers, whichever there are.

Have Kelgris, if he is still in good condition, return to the light house and perch near it to act as a final guard. If needed we can redirect him to points where Elves break through the defensive lines.

The plan here is to keep things status quo until we can power the lighthouse.

>>17482086
This.

Duke Gagné continues,"We'll have to shore up against the impending breach, perhaps if we can push them far enough back after the initial wave, we may be able to make some barricade and deter a future assault."

"You do so Gagné, I will need only a small cadre of men, the levies for manual labor will do."

The Duke looks up again with an inquisitive look, "What is it you're-"

"Again Duke, I do not have the time to explain, you hold that position the best you can." With a quick about face on your heels and flourish of your cloak you march away giving a quick order to gather up men well and not injured enough to lift bodies.

Returning to the Lighthouse, as you march across the bridge lined with the few canons you have, you look down upon the burning city, half of it, the east side, torched and burning, the sun beginning to be blotted out from the sky. Heading up the tower, away from the main gate you reach the Lighthouse chamber, a room decorated with the small light blue and clear crystals around the room, arranged and connected by a magical signed carved into the floor.

You stand alone for sometime until finally emerging through the door, a line of men wearing masks, to spare them from the stench, bring in body after body into the room. You order them to arrange them and pile them around the main huge crystal in the center of the room, and after hours a pile meters high accumulates, flies buzzing incessantly around the room. The men still working swatting them away, they don't even approach you.

...

"S-sir?" One of the levy sergeants implores nervously.

With a stern command, tinged with a hint of excitement you cannot hide you order him and his men, "Leave, now, all of you."

You climb the pile of bodies till you reach a makeshift throne high above them, and resting your chin on your right hand braced on your right knee you wait and look at the door.

The sound of magic and battle gets closer and closer, you can feel the rumbles through the stone, but with no window to the outside, you are trapped in this tomb you've made of dozens upon dozens of bodies.

The march of boots, and plate rubbing against plate and the clatter of weapons grows ever nearer as you sit and wait, looking at the door to the chamber. Finally, the white plumed Elven helms appear above the stone steppes and in perfect discipline, even when almost retching the front ranks of the vanguard continue until they reach the room and then fan out in a semi-circle before you. The semi-circle gives way for one more ornately dressed soldier among them.

He takes several seconds to push the feelings of disgust and hatred for the corpse piles. When he finally gains his professional composure he begins with a mocking pleasantry addressing you. “General? I presume. This keep is now under our control. I suggest you surrender and your trail will be swift and even for your crimes against Elven kind, it will be merciful.”

>>17482314

Do not speak to them, if anything barely register that they are there, when they make the next move.

>>17482351
I like it.
________

Summon Kelgris, from wherever he is, to assault the elves surrounding the outside of the tower or at least nearby. If he's hurt or something (I can't remember), then just forget that idea.

Smile from atop our throne of bodies, a large toothy, malicious smile. "No," we say softly, shaking our head like a teacher correcting a student. "No, no, no. I think not." Start draining the pile of corpses using our essence drain ability en masse, damned be the consequences to our facade at this point. If we can, then use our shadow stepping ability to disappear into the shadow beneath some of the bodies, hiding amongst them as we drain them. And then start pumping that shit right into the lighthouse gem.

>>17482351
As we are powering the lighthouse yell to the sky:
"VALTIR, YOUR TIME HAS COME! Let this city be the first of many, let this place send a message to the ENTIRE WORLD that your PATHETIC STAR CHAINS ME NO LONGER!

rolled 44 = 44

>>17482478

That's retarded. Rolling against this.

We can't blow our cover as the Nobleman.

Raising both your hands above your hand you move them to a universal sign of surrender. As the front ranks take their first steps forward you interrupt them, "No. I think not." You slam your palms down onto the bodies you sit upon and a massive flare of negative energy begins to pour out. Everything you have, you put it into the bodies surrounding you.

Gritting your teeth and with labored breathing you begin to build up to a steady and ever increasing yell of effort as black smokey tendrils of energy pour from your hands, your shoulders and you back, like some wicked spider with all appendages crawling out over the bodies.

Soon another misty substance gathers as, light blue in color is rises and bunches together and begins swirling round and round the room, pushed and repulsed by the black tendrils. A low hum from the crystals as the presence of this new energy excites them and the turn from rums to a dull chime that resounds inside the skull. To each crystal the blue mist is pulled, especially to the large one just behind you.

The magic sigils and lines etched into the stone floor illuminate next, and the sound of stone upon stone rumbles, like clockwork, the stone walls around you shift, actually, they are stone gears as like a flower unfurling its petals the tower chamber opens to the outside, the firestorm fanned winds of the city below rush almost drowning out the creaks, cracks, grinding and chiming.

After not even a minute you've spent yourself, and the black tendrils retreat into your core, and the mists that was brought up are trapped in crystals. The Elves pulling back as they struggle to not plummet from the sudden opening of the chamber to the outside, some failing and falling to their doom far below the cliff and waterfall the keep is built on.

Heaving with heavy breathes, you look back up a wicked smile you cannot wipe off your face.

>>17482495
I'm Pretty sure once we finish corrupting the lighthouse our cover will be obliterated. So we might as well ham it up.

Now is the time for a speech, a target, or both.

>>17482668
where is the highest concentration of elves?

>>17482541
"Your age has ended, elf." In a whispy voice. Start destroying the elven ships in bursts of energy, then focus on the individual clusters of elves in the city, leaving at least the one in charge here with us to watch.

>>17482683

[]The Harbor where their ships are,
[]the part of the city they are occupying,
[]the dam that holds a great deal of the water that would flow over the edge
[]Self destruct
[]Other

It has one powerful shot only.

>>17482719

what happens if it self destructs?

>>17482719

The harbor! They shall not escape...

I'm torn between the Dam and the Occupied area. Will flooding the city screw over the dukes troops as well?

>>17482719
Will this render it inoperable for future shots? Or will it be simply a matter of getting more fuel for it later?

rolled 17 = 17

>>17482738

This is the clear choice. Destroy their ships. With no retreat, they will be forced to fight a war of attrition with terrible morale.

Their surrender is much more likely if they have no supply or escape.

>>17482729

>>17482719
The dam. THE DAM!

DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL WITH THE MIGHTY DAM!

>>17482787

screw it blow up the tower the more evil we are the better right?

>>17482719
would destroying the ships prevent the elves from receiving reinforcements?

If so, the Harbor, if not, the part of the city they are occupying!

>>17482775
But they already have the keep, they don't really need to 'escape' anytime soon. We need to find a way to shut them out now.

The dam seems like the best option

If we flood the city then we'll not only bog down they're movement but sweep away a large portion of their troops.

>>17482842

and ours maybe.

>>17482842
And most of the city we've worked so hard to corrupt. I say we target the part of the city they're occupying.

rolled 67 = 67

>>17482863
A necessary sacrifice.

>>17482863
Do we have any other options? Keep in mind it sounds like they've taken the keep, which means that the dukes forces may have been routed.

i still think we should self destruct.

rolled 64 = 64

>>17482934
I'm actually leaning towards this too.

rolled 1 = 1

>>17482934
And destroy everything we've worked for, and have a good chance of killing ourselves?

Rolling for the Dam

"Your time here ended long ago, Elves. You will find no home here, no friends to welcome you. Return to your exile, enjoy it while you can. Even there you will not be safe from me forever."

Above the large center crystal a glowing white sphere of light has appeared, and one by one the small crystals around the edge form a line of light to it and feed it, slowly causing it to grow in size until it reaches a point where the ever increasing sphere begins to flicker and crackle, like it cannot contain itself any longer.

With a wave of your hand, to your will, the stone cracks and groans as the sigils and lines etched on the ground move and align, in one direction, the Angelfalls dam. The sphere collapses into nothing, and then without a sound a beam of terrible light shoots forth and slams into the river below, and the beam continues right through the stone dam and into the city below where upon meeting the earth it leaves behind a dome of white light. Then late comes the ear piercing screech. The part of the dam the light passed through, the stones around the wound explode and the dome down below explodes as well, vaporizing a large swatch of the city and leaving behind a vast crater as the dome expands quickly outwards in all directions like an exploding sphere.

And the Angelfalls damn breaks quickly, and the river reservoir behind the citadel surges forth and crashes down onto the city below, bursting over the sides of the canal and washing away a huge section of the city. In the harbor below, a massive wave of water tips over the Elven fleet and splinters into pieces and pushes the remains out into the sea.

The Elven invasion force and fleet are in ruins, as is the City of Angelfalls.

>>17483100
Smile at the elf. "Fuck yeah, bro. Time to die." Then kill his busta' ass.

>>17483100

kill the elves in the room.

Whelp, that could have gone better. Has our Evil leveled up at all?

rolled 80 = 80

>>17483100

Well, that's one way to win a battle.

Immediately survey the damage, and do our best to rescue any stranded civilians and soldiers, elves included. Damage control among the nobles should be our primary goal now that the battle is won.

>>17483163

Also, try to hide for a while, our facade must be mostly gone...

>>17483163
WRONG

rolled 93 = 93

>>17483176

We should pretend to be wounded in the firing of the magic laser. Seems believable, given that no one knows how it works either way.

Welp, it took a while (seriously, how many months since this shit started?), but we finally finished this battle.


Feels good man.

Fucks Given: 0

Unless y'know, we lost our Mistress and Half-elven daughter.

Then that might be .5 fucks given.

>>17483271
True dat.

Time to gather our forces, loot what's still solid, and move on.

>>17483271
Luckily everyone was in or withdrawing/retreating to the Citadel.

The bad news is that the evacuated population of the city have no homes to go to now. Also the trade route that goes from the center continent, down this river, and then into the Northern Sea has been completely ruined.

>>17483295

but the elves are gone and we are stronger now right?

>>17483295

They'll be fine! Don`t worry about that, we will be moving anyway so who cares

>>17483295

I repeat.

Fucks Given: 0. Zilch, None. Denada.

>>17483295
And not a single fuck was given that day.

TIME TO MOVE ON, BROS!

>>17483244
Well it would've been nice to reclaim the city from the elves but i guess it's unwarranted destruction suffices. I say we grab catharine, kelgris and the little magelings (if we can find them, if not oh well.) and head to our boat. Hopefully it hasn't been destroyed.

>>17483385
We blew it all up in that cave, remember?

rolled 14 = 14

Why don't we try to blame the elves for this atrocity?

They had a super weapon in that tower, you found it and tried to use it against them when they got the upper hand. The ensuing power struggle made the weapon go off and destroy the damn.

Then, you can rebuild the city in your own image. No need to cut and run just yet methinks.

After all, we don't know how to use elfish magic bullshit as the Noble. Perfect cover, I love it.

>>17483438
>>17483417

You can even use the storing of the elf bodies as cover. You could say that you were trying to intimidate them by saying that you have harnessed the power of the weapon and have used it against all of the soldiers currently dead in the tower.

The bluff failed, obviously in the struggle to control the power of the Tower.

return to the Citadel, if the nobility question us about our appearance (itt if our facade is gone) say that it's a side effect of using the lighthouse and that you would like to rest as soon as possible. if they are shocked by what we did to the city, just use " I did it for the greater good, we would not win a protracted battle with the state our forces were in, and I wished to stop the slaughter as quickly as possible."

>>17483391
Oh yeah... shit.
>>17483462
>>17483417
Sounds good to me

With much of the city underwater and washed away into the sea and with the Great Lift inoperable the cost of Angelfalls' freedom from Elvish control is secure. News of failure from what few Elven survivors are left may make their way back home eventually, but any retaliation could take years.

The city itself is crippled, and the population of the city slowly trickles back in from upriver where they fled. The lamentations in the streets of what is left of the city is loud and prevalent.

With the panoply of war being removed from the throne of Angelfalls it has been returned to its previous noble splendor, but the nobles, knights and rich merchants (many of whom lost their fortunes) do not show any celebration of their victory. While it was decisive, it came at a great cost.

One of the nobles raises his voice, "It was the Lighthouse. Somehow it activated and destroyed the dam!"

One of the portly merchants speaks interjects, "I've lost all my wealth in goods within this city, 60%, 60% of my wealth gone! I would have been better under Elven rule. Who will compensate me for my loss!"

"Your loss means nothing, come winter the people of the city will die of exposure, starvation and rot the streets with their dead!"

"How did the Lighthouse fire? Who is responsible!"

The Duke sitting on his throne sits rubbing his temples, in the throne next to him, Catharine, the official ruler of the city for now sits and says nothing, also overwhelmed by the protests.

...

Finally the Duke speaks up, "Gentlemen! First and foremost, we have claimed our independence, surely our liege of Telreinz will use the Royal coffers to rebuild."

Another noble raises his voice, "And where was he during the Elven occupation?"

The Duke shuts him down quickly, "With the treaties he could not have intervened, there could have been no just cause. We will petition for the rebuilding efforts and rebuild the dam and then the city. That will allow us to use the Great Lift again and reopen the trade lane. For now though, we need stability. For that I propose before the audience gathered here, a new start for the city. I here will offer a union of the Gagné and Hinter family. That should forever more unify the old treaty to the current nobility ties of the time."

>>17483654

it would be great if Evil was carried in on a litter, acting wounded, recounting the tale to the survivors.

>>17483689

How is our facade? If it's already restored I'm all for it.

>>17483746
After what you pulled. Nope.

>>17483767
so, where are we at the moment? "recovering" in our guestrooms?

>>17483767

well just pull it off as a corruption of the tower that the evil elves were using. You had no idea what was going to happen, you wanted to bullshit the elf leader, though he knew what was going on and wrested control of the tower from you. Recount the bullshit tale, feed the lies, fan the hatred. Get the crowd on your side.

At the end, do it like emperor palpatine. The forces of evil have left me scarred, but my resolution has never been stronger! Elven Delenda Est!

>>17483834
In the back rows of the auditorium. Hence you actually knowing what is going on here.

I think I'll actually just cut off this episode right now.

Expect me next Monday.

>>17484030

That's too bad. I wanted to see if Evil could turn the city into hate against the evils. Oh well.

Is there any archive for this storyline? I want to read up on it to get a better feel for it.
