>Previous Thread: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/19180656/Previously on knight quest: You played as Sir Sigmund Venhaus, knight errant. After turning down a title and some land, you set off for the distant north, hoping for adventure and more magical means to kill your enemies.Sadly, you were ambushed by bandits before getting there, forever losing your ability to speak after getting stabbed in the throat. After recovering from this harrowing experience and making your servant, Jensen, a badass at a temple to Freij, you leave for Heldengrad, capital of the Kingdom of Heldengrad, in hopes of work.En route you run into a vargwulf and his pack of vargr. After losing half your face and the battle priest Alaric accompanying you, you defeat the monsters and set about burying Alaric.After a short stop at a village to recover, you write your will, leaving everything to your loyal servant Jensen. Deciding to carry on to Heldengrad, you're attacked by a gargoyle as you pass through Bane's wood, losing your left arm and falling into a coma in the process.
>>19211184Finally after meeting Grim, reaper of souls and keeper of the dead, he decides to let you live, but curses you to die a horribly painful death. He also made it so your injuries can never be fixed by magic, leaving you missing your arm, voice and half a face until you die, in your horribly painful death.Now back in the realm of the living, you find yourself in the imperial palace. Soon after awakening you discover crown prince Adalwulf wants to speak to you.tl;dr: you lost your voice, left arm and half your face. Got cursed by death to die in a horribly painful way and are about to go see the prince.Also in light of your previous actions, you and Jensen now have a +2 modifier against non-monstrous enemies and you get to re-roll 1's during combat(the re-roll's result is final) for surviving such horrific injuries.>What do you do?
Go to our audience with the prince, lets try and convince him to put together a force to battle the monstrous creatures which are apparently everywhere
rolled 3 = 3My roll will be an indicator of our luck in the forthcoming quest.
>>19211280WELP>>19211258This is what we do.
>>19211258After getting dressed the remarkably comfortable clothes provided for you. You head to the prince's chambers following behind the servant who brought you the clothes.Jensen comes with you to translate.After many minutes of walking you finally arrive and are show to seat in the prince's study. The servant hands you a mask to cover the mutilated side of your face before the prince arrives if you decide to put it on.>What do you do? Put on the mask or not?
>>19211311No. Let him look upon our face and know our determination to continue no matter the cost.
>>19211311Fuck yeahTHE PHAAAANTOM OF THE OPERAAA IS HEEEREINSIDE YOUR MIND
>>19211325>>19211335Wear it or not? Next post decides.
>>19211355let's wear it then
>>19211410You decide to wear the mask. You get Jensen to help you secure it to your face, your one hand not enough to do it yourself. Once secured you wonder how you look. Your head shaved bald, half your face covered by a steel mask and only one arm. You must be a sight.Shortly after, Adalwulf turns up. You and Jensen rise, bowing to him before he motions you to sit. He himself sits behind his desk, paper work piled high upon it."Sir Sigmund, it's good to see you again. Though I must say, rather a lot seems to have happened since then. I didn't believe it at first, what your servant said, but after seeing you for my self, it does appear to ring true. Now you must be wondering why I have summoned you, but first I must say that your experiences don't seem to isolated incidences. We've been getting reports of these types of attacks and monster sightings since I came back from the south and I fear you've just confirmed the worst.">Anything you'd like to say?
>>19211534My lord I request leave to assemble others such as myself, to form an order of knights who will fight these beasts.
>>19211550After getting Jensen to say this for you, the prince just nods, seemingly not surprised at this request."Yes, Jorge mentioned what you wanted to do and I'm inclined to grant it. The threat these monsters represent can't be ignored. However before I grant this, let me tell you why I've summoned you. You may be surprised to hear this, but I still want to offer you that title of Earl and the land that comes with it. Now before you reject me out of hand like before, I'm willing to make your servant Jensen here a knight if you accept and give my full backing to this order of knights you wish to found. So, will you accept this time?"You wonder why he's so adamant about making you an Earl. Does he need the support so badly or does he perhaps have a different motive?
>>19211620"I will accept, but make no mistakes, my mission to rid the lands of these beasts will come before my duties as an Earl."
>>19211801If Jensen could kindly sign that for us
>>19211801He smiles at this. "Good. I would expect no less Earl Venhaus. Your patent of nobility and deed to the lands are all prepared and only require my signature. I'll have them sent on to your family who I'm sure will be overjoyed.Ah, now on to Jensen, I don't have a sword with me at the moment, so my declaration will just have to do. Congratulations Jensen, you are now Sir Jensen Bjorge, may you serve your lord well.Excellent, now that this is all done, you may go. You will find Jorge near the barracks for the knights. He will help form this order you want and get you better equipped. He can also tell you more about your new lands." He says this last part as he motions for you to leave, starting to do paperwork before you've even left.>What now?
>>19211940Head to the barracks with Jensen, take a look at the Knights that could be fighting with me to cleanse these lands.
rolled 5 = 5>>19211966Rollin for other knights
>>19211966You start heading to the barracks, determined to start your crusade against these foul beasts besetting the land. However before you get very far, Jensen stops you."Earl Sigmund. Uhm, now that I'm knight, I'd like to formally swear my service to you. Can I?">What do you do?
rolled 9 = 9>>19212018Say yes
>>19212035You accept and he looks quite happy at this."I um, don't actually know the oath to swear,#2 he says embarrassed. You sign that it's alright, you already know that he will serve you loyal without the oath.After this you continue on to the barracks. You find Jorge in the large square outside the main knight's building, talking to a fellow knight who leaves once he sees you coming."Sigmund, back from the prince so soon? I take it went well? Anyway, you got any idea what you're going to call this knew order of yours?">What know?Also roll d100 for members recruited.
>>19212018We'd be a bloody fool to let the bravest man we've ever known slip away. Also he's the only one who can understand us.
rolled 37 = 37Lucky knights
rolled 32 = 32>>19212114Rollan
rolled 56 = 56>>19212114Come on...
>>19212151Anybody else agree on the name?
rolled 62 = 62>>19212190Nope.
>>19212197Somebody come up with a name you agree on or I'll make something up. You also don't need to roll anymore.
>>19212214DeathwatchBecause i cant think anything else, since my brain just stopped.Forgive my 40k faggotry.
Name: Preservers of the Night
Okay, so far we have:The Order of the Lucky KnightsorThe Knights of the DeathwatchorThe Order of the Preservers of the NightNow either come to an agreement, keep making names till you find one you like or I'll flip some kind of three side coin.
>>19212272Well, sorry OP, my brain isnt working like it should.
>>19212272Trying to figure something out that has not been used a thousand times.
The Order of One
>>19212272Knights of the Nowhere Roads
>>19211184The Hounds of Venhaus!
rolled 15 = 15>>19212376Well I fucked that one up...
>The Silver Fist>The Last LanternNot much, I fear.Shit like this has been done far too often.
Order of the KnechtOpened up wikipedia and found it from the etymology section of Knight. Means servant, bondsman
I quite like The Last Lantern.
>>19212411In German it means as much as servant. A lowly, menial servant.Not the kind of name to draw in the nobility.
Order of the Lost HandOrder of Deaths ForgottenOrder of the Black Earl
>>19212441Well, the knight is already a mute, cripple and hideous ugly. The name would imply what kind of unrelenting shit the order will be getting in.There's nothing but work and death ahead of us.
>>19212478Yeah, because we're a total egomaniac, declining titles and shit.
>>19212486Order of the Grim Hand then?We aren't an ego maniac, true, but referring to the one we pledged our soul too is probably a good move on our part.
Please come to an agreement as all I can come up with is the Knights Exectioner or the Knights of Draegr.Draegr is considered the god who likes humanity most, sort of like their own patron saint.
>>19212505voting for Last Lantern
>>19212505Last Lantern.
>>19212505Draegr is a bad idea. It'll piss off Grim. We need to keep him happy somehow. Executioner shows promise.Wait...If our name is Sigismund, then...Could we be the Black Templars?
>>19212527Only if Templars already are a thing.Or we find us a temple for a base.
>>19212543Then let's go do it. It gives honor to our patron and sounds badass. Win - win
>>19212564Does this even fit the setting?btw, what setting is this?
Well, so far we have:The Order of the Lucky KnightsThe Knights of the DeathwatchThe Order of the Preservers of the NightThe Order of OneKnights of the Nowhere RoadsThe Hounds of Venhaus!The Silver FistThe Last LanternOrder of the Knecht (my vote goes for this)Order of the Lost HandOrder of Deaths ForgottenOrder of the Black EarlOrder of the GrimBlack Templars
>>19212527If you get two others to agree to the name.>>19212543There are tons of orders in this world. Templars exist.Example would be the Templars of Rikaor Vaerls Templars
>>19212589See:>>19212593It fits the setting.
>>19212611Still not convinced. It's a 40k thing and I don't think getting us a temple just for this is worth it.I'd rather have a name representing our fight against the creatures of darkness than one referencing armored bankers.
>>19212664Alright then. I'm going to go with the Order of the Lost Hand.
>>19212504I kinda like the Order of the Grim Hand.Considering we only have one, are pretty grim, and owe Grim one for letting us live**also cursing us
>>19212706Derp, meant Order of the Grim Hand.
>>19212713No matter. We get us a mechanical replacement with a cannon inside.
We have a tie betweenThe Order of the Grim HandThe Order of the KnechtandThe Order/Knights of the Last Lantern2 votes each. Need one more
>>19212738So, we're gonna become Guts? I approve.
>>19212766I vote Grim Hand. Lets get this show on the road.
>>19212775Lost left hand, fight darkness, our prince will surely at some point offer us all to the dark gods...
Are there any other orders doing what we want to do?If not, then I vote for the lantern.
>>19212790>>19212802I love you both.
>>19212790Order of the Grim hand it is.>>19212738Not specifically You can try.>>19212802
>>19212824>>19212802 =Not specifically
>>19212824Ok, fuck it. Grimdark Hand of Carnage it is.Let's get going.
You get Jensen to convey your order's name to Jorge. The Order of the Grim Hand. He doesn't comment on the name, but tells you he some men in mind and will see about getting them to join you.In the meantime, you need new equipment. The prince has kindly provided you with a new suit of full plate armor and new weapon.Roll D4 for weapon
rolled 2 = 2>>19212901Fingers crossed for an unmaker of worlds
rolled 1 = 1>>19212901Lessee...
>>19212912Sadly not.He has provided you with a war axe. Perfectly balanced and inscribed with runes of sharpening, making it sharper than a razor and never in need of resharpening. Jensen has also been provide with plate armor and a new flanged mace, so he can rip as he smashes, and a new shield. They have also provided him with a new hand to replace his ruined right. He now has a enchanted iron hand able to act as his old one did.They tried to do this for you and replace your arm. It went well but on the day awoke, the arm exploded before it could be fitted to you.>What now? Explore Heldengrad while you wait for Jorge or practice with your new stuff?If you go into the city roll a d2. Get a 2 and nothing happens. A one is a secret.
>>19213038>It went well but on the day awoke, the arm exploded before it could be fitted to you.Well, have them try again.
rolled 1 = 1>>19213038Town it is.>Implying anything good might happen to us.
>>19213065It must be cause of the curse that we got from the Death. How about trying to attach lost arm with flail instead?
We could ask them to give us a new arm but not where the old one was.Otherwise, maybe a prehensile tail?
>>19213065You get them to try again, determined to have your arm back. When mage begins to cast his spells to make the metal arm part of you, you suddenly collapse, overcome with excruciating pain, your ears(ear? ear and hole?), nose and eye bleeding begin to seize. You can hear that nightmare inducing laugh of Grim's as this happens.After an hour, you finally stop. >What now?Try again?
>>19213160Town?>Try againWhat are we, masochists?
>>19213160No. We need a second arm, but since it doesn't work like this, we might still circumvent.
>>19213191>>19213102After recovering your episode with Grim's curse, you decide to head into the city. As you Jensen look around, you begin to notice what appears to be the same gargoyle everywhere. Perhaps it's just a common pattern? Though the head and one of the arms looks pretty new unlike the rest of it.>What do you do?
>>19213247We ask around. Inquire the nature and meaning of these gargoyles.
>>19213247The obvious choice. We somehow will get a pet out of it.Or get mutilated horribly.
As I far understand, we can't have a new arm because of the curse. Then why not try to replace the lost arm something that DON'T resemble a arm instead?By the way... which arm did we lose? Right or left?
>>19213306Left>>19213286>>19213305Point the latest gargoyle out to Jensen so that he can inquire about them for you, but as he turns to look, it's no longer there. Thinking perhaps you're just over stressed you carry on.As you and Jensen enter the market, you see it again. You're pretty sure it's the same as all the others you've seen. You notice some other people taking notice of it. Apparently it wasn't there before.>What now?
rolled 2 = 2>>19213376So there was a gargoyle with a new arm and half a face... and we don't immediatly go check on that fucker? I think we spent too much time courting around at the noble's place. We gotta find that sob. No one is stealing our physical atributes and getting away with it!>>rollan for rage
rolled 5 = 5>>19213403Fuck, apparently we can't even get angry anymore.
rolled 80 = 80>>19213376Waraxe to the head!
>>19213403>>19213426I'm reminded of the tale of the monks that just don't give a fuck.
>>19213440...whose head?
>>19213376Oh dear. Grim is pissed. Grim is fucking PISSED. What, is not having an arm, face, or voice not enough punishment on top of the horrible death?Let's take note of this. Someone is harboring dangerous beasts. That someone needs an axe to the face.
>>19213403You fail to get angry, but you are feeling much better about yourself. You're the happiest you've been since you started this adventure.You do go check out the gargoyle though, Jensen following close behind. As you approach the building it's perched on, you look up and notice that it's not there. Usually this would worry you but you're just too damn happy to care.
>>19213457Oh, that head. Sounds good enough.
>>19213465We need to knock on the door. Jensen should keep an eye out for us, so to speak. We lost an arm to that fucker, no need to lose anything else.
rolled 70 = 70>>19213493Rolling for knocking
>>19213493You decide to knock on the building's door. Maybe the owner will know what's going on.Roll d2
rolled 7 = 7>>19213465Well, since the lack of gargoyles is making us so happy we most propably shouldn't follow this line of thought any forther, since we then may realize again in what a shitty situation we are.>>rolling for staying happy
rolled 1 = 1>>19213518Alright.
>>19213532Wow. We are not very good with doing anything are we?
rolled 69 = 69>>19213532Oh for fuck's sake!
>>19213550CURSE YOU DICE GODS.
>>19213535>>19213532As you go to knock on the door, your good mood takes a sudden nose dive. However before you can begin to wallow in self pity and misery, the door explodes outward, splinters flying every where lacerating countless people in the packed market behind you. Jensen is thrown backwards, his heavy metal bulk crushing the small child and woman he landed on.Before you can react and begin to process what has happened, the gargoyle has smashed into, denting your new breastplate and throwing you into a market stall. You suddenly recognize the it, it's got the same hate twisted features as the gargoyle that took your arm. Apparently Jensen didn't smash it up enough.Roll d20 for combat!
rolled 6 = 6>>19213643Lord Grim! Guide my blows!
Lol, I don't evenKnight Quest is cursed
rolled 31 = 31>>19213651Huh. Okay. Nothing surprising there. What do we loose this time? A foot? A leg? Our dignity?
>>19213651That comes out to an 8 with our modifyer. Wow. WE SUCK.
>>19213655You don't say.
>>19213670>looseYOU LOSE YOUR LIFE!!
>>19213674There's still hope as lng as Jensen is around!
>>19213685
>>19213688I am sick to fuck of being rescued by Jensen
Jensen: 11>>19213651As you go to get up, it punches you back down. Denting your helmet. You feel lucky you decided to wear your armor. It picks you up again, like when you lost your arm, but this time it throws you into a wall. You impact hard breaking a leg.Jensen struggles to get up, the people underneath him hindering him. He sees it striding over to him, smashing stunned bystanders out of the way. He gets up just in time, taking its heavy blow on his shield, but slips upon the people he's standing on. It strikes him again, this time launching him off of his feet. Luckily he lands on on some bystanders who break his fall.They finally decide to run, streaming out of the market, avoiding the gargoyle death machine.Roll d20!Also +2 modifier is for non-monstrous creatures. This gargoyle is pretty monstrous.However you can reroll any 1's in combat but the second result sticks.
rolled 1 = 1>>19213759THROW OUR AXE. LET THIS SOUL MEET GRIM!
Sob
>>19213779Oh thank Jesus that was the second post.
>>19213758>>19213773As you can see for yourself, getting rescued by Jensen is the only thing we're good at....fuck. I just realised we're the damsel in distress.
>>19213790Well, it would have scored a reroll at least.

>>19213965What's been happening since this quest started: Us getting horribly maimed.
>>19213965We die. Slowly and horribly. That's a given.
>>19213965Might've something to do with the fact that we pissed of the god of death in the first part of the quest.
>>19213975Well yeah, but we have yet to have a single nat 20 taken as a rollI dont think weve ever even had better than a 13 for fucks sake :')
Jensen: 12>>19213899The gargoyle goes after Jensen Moving faster than expected, it grabs him, holding him above it. Reacting swiftly, he starts pounding it with his mace, but can't seem to hit it hard enough, causing only a few cracks on its surface. Eventually it just throws him away. he strikes a wooden wall and goes through it.Concentrating on you now. It leaps at you feet first. you barely move your head away, avoiding instant death. Instead it lands on your chest, caving in your breast plate and breaking almost all of you're ribs. You start to cough up blood in your helmet and in an act of futility you swing your axe at it. It glances off and you lose your grip on it. The gargoyle reaches down, grabbing your helmeted head and starts to squeeze. With his other hand it begins to pummel your body.Roll d20 for combat!Roll d2 to see if help comes!

>>19214131Well, I can't allways roll low! So I guess I'll just keep on tryin...
Jensen: 14>>19214010>>19214021Jensen comes charging back through the wall he burst through, mace held high, shouting obscenities at the beast. It leaves you momentarily to meet his charge. He brings his mace down, destroying its jaw, but it simply ignores it and knocks him aside into a food stall.While it was distracted, you called upon all your experience at ignoring terrible wounds and fighting till the end. You grab your axe and limping badly because of your broken leg, you slowly approach the monster. It turns just as you bring your axe down, the runed blade cutting easily through its stone body. First goes its left arm, and then its leg on the return swing, you now stand over it, ready to end it and gain sweet sweet revenge.New ability unlocked! Relentless: No matter how badly wound, you can continue to fight.Roll d20, you can end this now if you roll well enough.D2 for help to arrive.
I hope this wait is OP making some awesome cinematic "We punch its fucking brains out" style scene

seriusly there's no fucking way I'm rolling even once in this thread.There's so many bad rolls it's gonna taint anyone who participates for years to come.Even someone coming in with good rolls got immediately sucked in.
rolled 19 = 19>>19214342It's horrible, I know. It's that one fucking guy and his anti-luck.
Jensen: 7>>19214201>>19214210Just as you bring your axe down for the final blow, it lashes out, punching your wrist, breaking it. You drop your axe unable to hold onto it before it boots you away with its remaining leg.Jensen begins to climb out the wreckage of the the stall, but the gargoyle kicks him in the face before he can get free, knocking him unconscious. Jorge: 16As all this is happening, help finally arrives. Jorge clutching his massive twohanded warhammer, comes running into the market followed by a small group of knights and the city guard. Outpacing them all, he sprints at the gargoyle and taking a running jump, leaps into the air, his warhammer held above him. He brings it down with earth shattering force, striking the gargoyle square in the body. The area immediately under the hammer head turns to dust and cracks spider web outwards from there running all over it. Finishing the job, he brings his hammer down again and again until it's nothing but rubble.>What now?
>>19214357Ha! Looks like my anti-luck is gone! OP, bring in the next round!Also archive?

>>19214394Go visit a healer then.
>>19214392See? I told you guys.Everything is going to be A-OK now.
>>19214403You know you had ONE shot of luck, by the law of odds? You could of saved it for when we needed it, but no.
>>19214369He can just withstand the long lasting effects of your anti-luck field.Also.Monsters in a fucking city?This order of ours is really badly needed. Like 4 years ago.
rolled 47 = 47Rolling for death from internal bleeding
rolled 68 = 68>>19214433Roll to not die. And bleeding out doesn't sound that painful.
>>19214392Managing to cling to consciousness, you see Jorge end the gargoyles life. This time you're pretty sure it's dead. Jorge comes over then."Well ain't this a mess boy. Now I can see how you got so messed up, having to battle these types of things. You hang in there a bit longer boy, a healer should be coming soon."He moved off then, going over to check on Jensen. Some time later after the pure agony of your wounds, I healer finally arrives and immediately sees to your wounds. Calling upon Rika and some healing magic, he manages to stop the worst of the bleeding.>What now?
rolled 97 = 97>>19214410Oh come on. I am 100% positive that my luck is here to stay. Let me demonstrate:>>rollan for the woman and child Jensen landed on to survive>>chivalric alybiWhy yes, captcha, that is exactly why!

rolled 47 = 47>>19214471Rollan for woman killing us in revenge
>>19214479I honestly don't think this is a good idea. The last time we talked to the guy he cursed our ass and sounded really pissed of. The last we heard of him was his laughter after our mechanical arm blew up.
>>19214497get lost man
>>19214497Tsk. Your mediocre rolls are no match for my new found luck!
>>19214502He's true neutral from what I understandHe's getting pissed because we are being a shit servant to himIf we do some great deed for him, it may make him see us as useful enough to be worth getting our arm back
>>19214517Well... in that case let's just ask the guy for some quest for us, WITHOUT demanding anything in return. please?
It was because one of you fuckers was DEMANDING stuff from Death. And he didn't like that one bit.
>>19214543That seems like the non retarded as fuck thing to do yeah

You also look over the information about the 37 knights Jorge managed to convince to join you on your quest to rid the world of monsters.As you're doing this, you start to get a pounding headache and your vision goes blurry."It is time Sigmund Venhaus, for you to uphold your part of the bargain. You shall travel to the town of Treiger and send to me one who has avoided my embrace for far too long."As it ends you find your nose bleeding. You wonder if he did it on purpose or if hearing a gods voice is too much for the human body.>What do you do?
rolled 2 = 2>>19214608Lets go kill this fucker then.
rolled 49 = 49rollin for siege of city

rolled 11 = 11>>19214608Fuck him. What's he gonna do, make our eventual death even MORE painful? We're here to rid the city of these monsters, and that's that.
>>19214641and then there's this faggot
So it's 2 for going and 2 for staying so far.
>>19214641This gentleman actually has a point. Although I think it was just the one Gargoyle that followed us to finish us off after we almost killed it. I obt for going with >>19214639

>>192146711 more vote for doing what we're fucking supposed to do
>>19214721Thats a bit vagueWhich do you mean?
>>19214721I vote that we go. If hearing his voice made our nose bleed, who knows what else he could do?
>>19214671We're going. We made a deal, a shitty deal but a deal none the less. We have to honor it.
>>19214674>>19214639You decide to do as Grim asks and plan to leave the next day. Informing Adalwulf of your decision to only take 5 knights with you, he agrees so long as the rest stay in the city to rid it of any more monsters there may be lurking about.Before you go he warns you to be careful, Treiger being very close to the border with Lenia. The country where the dead walk and the night is ruled by the vampire lords.You set out with Jensen and five others after getting new armor.>Roll d20 for encounter
rolled 16 = 16>>19214765OH BOY OH BOY

>>19214777As you and your companions camp for night not too far from Treiger but far enough to not be able to make it till noon the next day, you manage to have a basic conversation with your new follows.Shortly afterwards you hear screaming and see a girl running towards your camp but before you can help, what appears to be a man has taken her down and is trying to eat her flesh. Already he has managed to rip out her throat and is trying to eat her arm.Roll d20 for combat

What the fuck even man, this is actually ridiculousI'd like to suggest that we use a different dice for combat rolls maybe?
>>19214880Wasn't me! I'm still on my lucky streak >>19214887 trying to safe innocent bystanders!...I do have the nagging feeling my rolls are going to turn against me the instance I try and roll for our own good...
Knight 1: 1Knight 2: 11Knight 3: 8Knight 4: 14Knight 5: 5Jensen: 19>>19214870Before you can act, one of your fellow knights has already charged ahead, running down the hill, but in his zeal to help the girl he loses his footing and falls. Before he can recover, the ghoul has noticed the threat and potential new meals and is upon him. Tearing away at him in a blood frenzy the knight's screams in pain can be heard for miles around until they finally stop.The rest of you approach more cautiously, surrounding it as he feast upon your former companion. Acting in concert you manage to easily taking it down. Stabbing it repeatedly and eventually cutting it's head off. It struggles a bit scratching you and two others up quite badly but only scratches. >what now?
>>19215004It isn't safe to make camp hereHead to town immediately, traveling at dark is preferable to being swarmed by these creatures.

Hours later after a safe journey you finally arrive at Treiger.>What know?roll d10 for encounter
rolled 3 = 3>>19215112Head to the town hall, attempt to speak to a magistrate or something like thatFind out what's causing the creatures like that guy we offed.
rolled 4 = 4Rolling!
just a random thought:Should we maybe be collecting samples of these monsters, for cataloging and study?I mean, we're no longer some knight errant, we're headmaster of an order who's sole purpose is to destroy these things in all their forms. We should be working on keeping documentation on their physiology, tactics, strengths, and most importantly weaknesses. Maybe physical samples would aid mages in an attempt to find weaknesses (you know, once we get priests and mages in the order).Just a thought
A pretty good thought at thatWe probably still have some of its blood on our weaponsThats a start right?
>>19215140As you move through the town you see movement in the shadows, too quick to really see but you know you're being watched or stalked. As your group moves deeper, you keep your hands on weapons, ready in case of ambush. Your torches the only light in town and your movement the only sound you can hear, no dogs barking, cats fighting or night birds. Nothing. Not a sound.By the time you reach the steps leading up to the town hall you know that something is deeply wrong in this town. You knock on the heavy wooden doors. The sound booming in the stillness of the night. You receive no answer but more animated movement just beyond the light.
>>19215221I think this would actually be a pretty interesting idea. Become more of a hunter than a knightly type though... -shrug-
>>19215241Call out"Vermin of the night! The death you have long cheated is upon you, come and face the Hand of Grim!"
>>19215241>What now?
>>19215241Let's go in. Carefully and silently.
>>19215249oh, I didn't mean we would be doing any studying ourselves.We're out to kill after all, being an agent of death and whatnot.But you know we have this whole order who could benefit from the knowledge, especially as new batches of recruits come in who may have never seen a gargoyle, instructors can at least give them briefings on what it is.We don't need to change anything we're doing, in fact maybe our manservant Jensen could be in charge of collecting samples from our kills.
rolled 16 = 16>>19215266Let's go in, but walk along the edges of the walls to keep from being ambushed.
>>19215266fuck the town hall, let's find the town armory. Our group could benefit from long spears.The sword is basically a side arm after all.Also, whatever we do, don't split up. Our numbers may be the only thing keeping the shadows . . . . in the shadows
>>19215264You can't shout, you're a mute.>>19215279You try to force open the door but are unable to. It seems to be barricade from the other side.>What now?
>>19215342Oh yeahSign it really hard
>>19215317Agreed with our luck we need all the distance between us and the enemy
>>19215342Let's find an open window or something, or a hole in the wall.Whatever we do, we should be silent and stay low.
>>19215342Alright, let's head to the armory. (If we can find one)
>>19215351>>19215317>>19215402You think of looking for the town armory to better arm yourselves, to keep whatever is in the shadows at bay. You remember then that castle Treiger is nearby and that the armor is likely kept there. You're also likely to find Baron Ricter or somebody who may know what's going happening here. Moving out you head for the castle.Roll d2 to see if you make it.
rolled 2 = 2>>19215462rollan
rolled 1 = 1>>19215462
>>19215462Here goes nothing.
>>19215486You it there safely. The shadows.. shadowing you every step of the way, always around you but never visible. As you got closer to the closer to the castle, the things in the shadows started to thinning out until they were gone entirely.Now passing under through the open gateway and into a courtyard before the main keep, you still have seen no sign of life. No guards at the walls. No torches lit, the gates wide open. You don't think you will find much help here.>What do you do?
>>19215604Jesus I'm tired
>>19215604Start lighting dem torches!
>>19215630Well OP, the session is going on for almost 7 hours now...
>>19215604Leave a few knights at the entrance, light the torches with the rest.
rolled 1 = 1>>19215604We came here for spears, we ain't leaving without them.Find the armory and get some spears. Then, search the castle for the baron, armed with our newly acquired pointy sticks.
>>19215663Leaving NPCs alone is a deathsentenceBut thats metagameySo do go on
>>19215665>>19215663You leave Sir Arnulf and Dieter to guard the main gate way, while the rest of you start lighting torches throughout the courtyard and start looking for the armory.Roll d4
rolled 4 = 4kay
>>19215739oh yeah
>>19215739You eventually find the armory, but upon entering it all you find is a burnt out husk and a pile of burnt bodies. Whatever happened here, the weapons are now useless. Returning to the courtyard, you see Dieter and Arnulf are still at the gate.>What now?
>>19215739Anti-everything weapon. Nice.
>>19215804Search the castle for any survivors or clues. Weapons drawn and prepared for anything, obviously.
>>19215831You decide to head into the main keep to look for survivors and clues to what the shit is going on.Drawing your weapons, your group approaches the keeps door and pushing them open you find yourself in the receiving hall of the castle. In the light caste by your torches you see blood spatter everywhere, the floors, walls, even ceiling. And as you move further into the hall, you start encountering dismembered bodies and the occasional dried husk.Roll d2.If 1, roll a d10
rolled 1 = 1>>19215932please jesus

>>19216001goddamn it....The good rolls always come too late.
>>19215955>>19215967As you move closer to the end of the hall, you start hearing running footsteps and animal like slavering and grunts, until you finally see the source of this sound.Running towards you are ten ghouls. Pale, hunched over things, running on all fours like animals. Some carry knifes or pieces of wood, others nothing at all, just their teeth and hands.You ready yourselves to fight for your lives.>Okay that's it for now. If the thread is still around when I come back, I'll pick it up here, if not then I'll make a new thread. Bye now, I'm off to bed.
rolled 4 = 4>>19216083Thank you for the thread.
>>19216083I think it's time to just "NOPE" out of here with a fighting retreat. And come back later. With a small army.
>>19216083OP, why dont you pick best of 4 or 5 rolls. Just counter the bad luck of rollers.
>>19216083Bumping in the hopes OP is awake yet.
Monster hunting bump.
>>19219051I agree, best of three rolls is a fair way of doing it without letting in too much potential for constant crit success rolls. Also I think at this point we really need it.
>>19220810Yup.
Can't wait to see how we get horribly mutilated next session.
>>19221934Wait, do we get mutilated every season?
>>19221943More on a daily basis, really.
>>19221943Yes. It seems so. This time, we got our leg broken.
>>19221946Dafuq? Is it that bad?>>19221949Yeah saw that. I mean ıt was streak of 4s and 5s with 20 and 19 wasted by lucky roller inb
>>19221949And our wrist, you know, the one on the only arm we have left.
>>19221949And our wrist. And lost our first order brother. Although I doubt he will be last. Most shocking, though, is the fact Jensen almost failed in the fight against the Gargoyle.>>19220810I don't think so. This would take all the danger out of the game. And don't tell me you DON'T want to see what goes horribly wrong next.Speaking of next!I'm taking bets on how long it will take us to come to our horrible, painfull end. Ingame time. Winner get's one free Internet and my promise to never roll in a rpg he is also playing in. Go!
>>19222030Well, i actually want to succeed. Dont know you guys.I dont want this to be an easy one, dont get me wrong, but i do want it to be possible.
>>19222030My bet is on two sessions.
>>19222045Oh, I also want to succeed! I don't see it happening with a setting this lethal, though. Not even mentioning the dick of a deathgod. Although... if we do manage to keep on going, the story can only become more epic.
>>19222068The real problem is the utter lack of plot armor, I guess.Any bad roll for us means injury and mutilations.Just like one of our men died for a 1 was rolled.Any streak of bad rolls could leave us dead.
>>19222097Yup, but putting that aside, whats with our order name?
>>19222107We managed to decide on one.The order of the Grim Fist.It was a tight vote, but in the end, what does it matter?
>>19222097Well, our Fatepoints are kinda plotarmor-ish. Of course we only have one left if I remember correctly.>>19222052Noted, although I stated ingame-time. Since we played for about 1 1/2 days each session as of now, I put you down with 3 days.
>>19222120It does matter a little and i am glad we managed to pick one.
>>19222141Another you would have rather picked?Excuse my style of talking, I'm watching Game of Thrones right now.
>>19222149Nope, since i am bad at picking names.
>>19222149I like the name we picked. Seems fitting.
>>19216083And I'm back.We left off here:As you move closer to the end of the hall, you start hearing running footsteps and animal like slavering and grunts, until you finally see the source of this sound.Running towards you are ten ghouls. Pale, hunched over things, running on all fours like animals. Some carry knifes or pieces of wood, others nothing at all, just their teeth and hands.You ready yourselves to fight for your lives.>What do you do?
rolled 12 = 12>>19222624How many people did we take into the hall with us again?If we have enough of us, form a shield wall and make a fighting retreat
>>19222669God damn dice
>>192226694 knights and Jensen.Also d20 for combat. d2 for action success.
rolled 1 = 1>>19222714Oh right. Thank god.So would this be a d2 or d20? I think we rolled a d20 earlier to get to this point so a d2?Rolling the d2 for the moment with>>19222669in mind
rolled 1 = 1>>19222735d20 in case I was wrong
rolled 2 = 2>>19222738mmk, enough rolling from me...thats just fucked
>>19222742I take this is a reroll?
>>19222764Nah I forgot to turn dice off
>>19222772Oh wait, we re-roll 1's don't we?Now it looks like I'm trying to get out of a 2. Originally I decided to let someone else roll when people find the thread
>>19222781I'll wait for a reroll then.
>>19222764pls do.
>>19222793You want him to take a 2 from a d20 roll? With 1 being death and 2 not far off??
rolled 4 = 4Oh yes, Made it back to this epic.
>>19222808Welp, we're fucked anyway.
Awesome, OP's back.
Now I remember the source of my nostalgic feeling.My first try to get trough the tomb of horrors with my lil-bro. The horrible and fun times were blast. Our game spanned generations as the next in line of the "monster hunters" family spawned themselves a child and headed inside the dreaded tomb.
>>19222804ı want to take it for d2
>>19222866And what I meant is that this thread is making me nostalgic and I was wondering why. Sleep is overrated when there's a Knight to follow.
Okay, from now on if you score a 1 in combat and reroll that, please link to the original score and say that you are rerolling for it.>>19222808>>19222735Arnulf: 11Gerold: 14Dieter: 2Eberhard: 20Jensen:14Thinking quickly you decide to form a shield wall and fight your way back out. Perhaps coming back with more men.But as you do that the ghouls put on an incredible burst of speed and are among you in moments. Two leap upon Dieter, taking him down and begin to pry his armor off to reach the flesh below. When the get his helmet off of him, they manage to pop one of his eyes out and badly cut up his face.The rest are being held off by your companions, Eberhard cleaving one in two with his axe before splitting open the head of another.Two come at you and manage to bowl you over, prying at your armor and pining you down. One with a dagger, manages stab you through a gap in your armor, luckily it doesn't penetrate far.>What now?D20
>>19222929Break free of the pin and smash them accross the back with our axe. Get to our feet and into a defensive stance.I'll let someone else roll this one.

He skewers it through the heart, before booting off his sword at another charging for him.Gerold doesn't do as well and gets taken down, slammed into a wall before one leaps upon him, dragging him down.Dieter recovers swiftly, overcoming his pain, he manages to push them off of him before struggling up. He swings at one as it comes for him, taking its head clean off and on his back swing cuts the arm off of another before gutting it and then decapitating it as well.Eberhard and Jensen don't do well. The ghouls moving quicker than seems possible. One jumps on Jensen's back, taking him. The other managing to stab Eberhard in the armpit through a gap in his armor. The one on Jensen has pried his helmet off and is now smashing his face into the stone floor, breaking his nose, jaw and cheek bone.>What now?d20
>>19223064Cut off the head of the one attacking Jensen, dodge the othersAlso damn that roll :'( >>19223078
rolled 1 = 1>>19223064Stand up and try to help Jensen. Fuck had our backs, we'll have his.

>Dem rolls. It's like watching a train wreck.
rolled 16 = 16>>19223146It really really is, however every time survive a battle it makes the impending death and following story that will be forever told so much more epic.
rolled 1 = 1>>19223155First roll over 10. It seems like Grim is having his twisted fun here...
>>19223161hahaha yeah, that was just painful. Accidental roll, best roll
rolled 3 = 3>>19223161It's official, the god of Death wants everyone we like to die.Maybe that's our painful death? Not physical, but emotional? I mean, how much more could we get hurt? And we've formed a bond with Jensen, to see him die when we're so close, holy fuck.
>>19223179That is terribly ironic and I love it.
Arnulf: 15Gerold: 12Dieter: 20Eberhard: 8Jensen: 18>>19223078 Rolled: 3Arnulf moves to help Gerold who has managed get away from the ghoul and is now managing to hold it back. Coming from behind Arnulf swings at it, taking out one its legs, causing it to fall to the ground, Gerold capitalizes on this and crushes its head with his hammer.Dieter moves to help Jensen but he has already managed to get the monster off of him and destroyed its head with his mace. Instead, Dieter helps Eberhard who is now struggling with the ghoul on the floor. Kicking the ghoul off of him, he finishes it soon after in a flurry of blows.The 2 ghouls charge you and taken off balance as you attempt to stand they knock you to the floor, winding you and begin stabbing and prying at your armor. Seeing your predicament, Jensen and Dieter move to help. Jensen Kicks one off while Dieter stabs the other, barely missing you while he does it. The ghoul Jensen kicked quickly scurries off, escaping into the darkness beyond your fallen torches.>What now?
>>19223216Gets some light in here, we're gonna hold 'till dawn then explore.
>>19223216Regroup, light the place up, inform the others of what has happened and prepare to set in for the night. Have people on gaurd watch roatation. Come morning we shall explore this place and ruin the enemy.Also to the asshole who is deleting his own bad rolls...please stop, thats not a cool thing to do.
>>19223242Cant blame him. We are already rolling like a train wreck without his help.
>>19223242Others?
>>19223252Thats true but bad rolls are apart of the game, a constant part of ours yeah but a part of it none the less. I'd love to roll a bunch of 10's and delete the 1's and 2's and 3's but you just don't do that.
>>19223270Didn't we leave some people to gaurd out the front?? If not...umm well same plan but with the group we have.
>>19223280They came in with you.
>>19223271I know but still i cant blame the guy for wanting too see our main character kick ass just for once.Anyway, i agree with >>19223242>>19223280And no we didnt
>>19223280Oh wait, never mind. I remember we said we were coming up here with 5 of our order. Ignore my ignorance.
OK, we've got 4 men, plus Jensen (More a force of nature). We don't know what's in the castle, probably more ghouls. We need light, and safety. So we should light up everything and barricade ourselves in for the night. Two men on watch at all times.
>>19223242>>19223229You decide to wait here until morning when it would be safer to explore and discover what's going on. Lighting up all the torches you barricade both doors in this hall. Leaving two men on watch with a regular rotation, you tell your men to get some rest.>Roll d3
rolled 3 = 3>>19223325rollin'
>>19223339The night passes uneventfully, no with no attacks on your position.>What now
rolled 1 = 1>>19223365Get our men together, make sure all equipment is in order, weapons sharp etc and move through the castle one room at a time. I'd suggest splitting into two groups to be faster but I'm not sure its a good idea. For now, thoroughly search the place. There is a monster here and we shall slay it.
>>19223377You split your men into two groups, Dieter, Eberhard and Gerold in one while Jensen and Arnwulf comes with you.As you search through the castle you find only dead bodies, looking like they were either fleeing in terror or fighting for their lives. You find no one alive and no sign of the Baron. Nor do you find any more ghouls or other beasts, but you're sure they're present.Saving the great hall for last, you meet up with the other group outside its doors.>What do you do?
>>19223468Get into one group, shield wall again, we'll make it work this time! Have the few at the front puch open the great doors and move together as a group into the hall.Do we need a roll?
>>19223479Push. Lol I'm not sure they could punch it open.
rolled 82 = 82>>19223479>>19223483Rolling to PUNCH it open...
>>19223493Lmao and what a beautiful roll it was.
>>19223483It seem like we can.
>>19223502Imagine the look on the face of whatever is inside when a couple of knights punch in the door to a great hall. Chunks of wood bursting inwards flying everywhere and a wall of shields and swords and maces entering looking for blood. Oh my thats grand.
>>19223479>>19223493You form your men into shield, determined to make it work this time and sure the enemy lurks in the room beyond.Standing before the great doors of the hall, you decide to punch them open. You armored fist slams into them and they fly open, crushing anything behind into the wall or sending them flying.As you enter behind your shield flexing your throbbing hand, you find yourself in pitch blackness, the only light coming through the doors you punched open. The windows must be covered or blacked out in order for there to be no light.>What now?Also, roll a d2
rolled 1 = 1>>19223551Have two of the men light torches and throw them into the middle so we can see the room better. Have everyone be cautious and ready for whats to come
>>19223568About to tell your men to light torches and throw them further into the room, you're plunged into darkness. The great doors slamming shut behind you. Gerold manages to light a torch but as soon as he brings it up, in a blur of motion, his head is flying through the air, before impacting wetly with your breastplate. The torch goes out and you can laughter, seeming to come from all around you.>What do you do?
rolled 1 = 1Fucking hell these guys."We just joined this earl, half-faced mute with one hand, and already we saw a girl and one of us eaten alive, other one lost his eye... Oh well, towards glory and blood!"
>>19223632>>19223634We are so fucked. Shout what >>19223634said "towards glory and blood!" to motivate and encourage our men and bring the shield wall closer together for safety
rolled 14 = 14>>19223632Invoke the name of our Lord, Grim."I am a servant of Death! You will know terror in me!"Have Jensen say it.
>>19223653This ain't going to work, you're still mute
>>19223679Oh..right....ok have Jensen say it. He is more badass than us anyway.
>>19223653>>19223669You get Jensen to shout these out for you. He does and is met by derisive laughter."How quaint, a servant to death, Grim's little bitch. Death has no hold on me and I intend for it to stay that way. Sadly you're going to have to die.">What now?Roll d20 combat!
>>19223679Rolling for defense.What's the worst that could happen?
rolled 20 = 20Stand ground and be ready to take whatever the hellspawn is coming at us and send them all to Grim.
>>19223746Fucking nice job
rolled 14 = 14>>19223733It's on like Donkey Kong now bitch->>19223746DEATH HAS LOOKED UPON US AND SMILED!
>>19223746Proof that Grim gives us mighty strength! (When we are doing what he wants at least)
>>19223735>>19223746Holy fuck, thank god I forgot to retype in the dice.
rolled 16 = 16>>19223765We did come here to do Grim's bidding... When we do Death's work we get unholy powers!
rolled 8 = 8>>19223746You can't imagine the grin I'm making. FUCKING YES! DIE MONSTERS, DIE!
>>19223789You should be very proud, I think you just saved our collective asses
Arnulf: 16Dieter: 1Eberhard: 19Jensen: 15>>19223746Standing in the darkness, you wait for this unholy hellspawn to attack, your brothers in the order, standing with you.Then suddenly you start to hear ghouls, hundreds by the sound of it, running towards your little group. Somehow you manage to see them in the darkness of the room. Silver, human shaped blobs, charging at you. Your group stands firm, despite not being able to see, striking down any who get within reach of their weapons.You yourself manage to kill dozens of them with supernatural ease. With every swing of your axe a ghoul dies.But then, you see it, standing behind the swarm of ghouls, you just know that this is what Grim wanted you to kill. As if noticing you looking at it, it suddenly blurs into motion, appear before you like magic and hitting you flying, your breast plate torn. Then it's on Dieter, coming from behind him, it pulls his head off before kicking his body into the crowd of ghouls who quickly mob it.Recovering quickly, you cut down two ghouls before you and charge the monster. It charges you back, throwing the head away. You leap at it, bringing your axe down in a deadly arc. You manage to take its left arm off before continuing into its body, but the monster turns to mist as you do so and flows around you. Behind you now, you turn to meet it, axe held high and push it back in a flurry of blows.Roll d10. Grim has granted power in this battle!New ability unlocked: Death sight, you can now see anything living or dead, no matter what(This includes losing your eye).
rolled 8 = 8>>19223975Rolling
rolled 1 = 1>>19223975For the Lord of Death!
rolled 8 = 8>>19223999Bring our axe down upon its head cleaving all the way through right down to the collar bone and then kick it off our blade with our sturdy boots. Spit on the dead body and then stare down any ghoul who remains in the area. We SHALL NOT fall to such evil.
>>19224026Assuming an 8 is enough to kill it. Sorry I got caught up in the moment
>>19223999May the power of Trips bless this roll with a +3 multiplier.
>>19224006Guess who just came to check on the progress!
rolled 9 = 9>>19224006Reroll.
>>19224076Damn, lucky I got my roll in in time. That was close.
>>19224083>>19224076See that?>>19224090Means Grim is on our side.
>>19224026Dude, i think we rolled for "Perception", since the fucker can vanish and stuff.
>>19224104Oh really...aw man I wanted to kill him in a badass way. So disappointed. Oh well.
>>19224119In due time, anon, in due time.
>>19224128Haha I know, I was just so caught up in the slaughter of monsters. Ah well. Next roll I suppose
Arnulf: 19Eberhard: 2Jensen: 19>>19223999Arnulf and Jensen are veritable Juggernauts among the ghouls. Despite not being able to see, they excel at slaughtering the ghouls, shrugging off any blows that land on them. Eberhard is not so lucky. While stabbing a ghoul, his sword becomes stuck. Unable to pull it free, he lashes out with his shield while he goes for his dagger, but he quickly gets swarmed by ghouls, dragging him down and tearing him apart. He dies screaming.With Arnulf and Jensen keeping the ghouls occupied, you concentrate on killing the monster before you. Lashing out with your boot, you catch him in the knee, but before you can cause any lasting damage, he has vanished again, appearing right in front of you and tears your breast plate off of you. Reacting faster than you thought possible you leap back, striking out with your axe, you catch him in the side, going deep before he turns to mist again. This time appearing to your left, you swing around, bring your axe across his face, leaving a terrible wound through it. This just seems to enrage him.D10!
rolled 3 = 3>>19224201
rolled 1 = 1>>19224208I will save you with this roll!
>>19224285nope.jpg
rolled 5 = 5>>19224285....WE HAVE ANGERED GRIM!
>>19224296Guess so. Ahem.
Arnulf: 20Jensen: 12>>19224208The monster pounces, fangs extended to rip out your throat. You move back and it only manages to tear up your gorget. swinging at it, it turns partially into mist, your axe passing through harmlessly before backhanding you and crushing your helmet,breaking your jaw and cheek bone and sending you flying through the air.Jensen is getting bogged down now among all the ghouls and getting hit more and more often, denting his plate and in some places piecing beneath, slowly sapping away his strength.Arnulf is practically destruction incarnate, where he goes, ghouls will fall. He manages to fight his way other to the beast and starts laying in. After a brief exchange of blows, he has cut off its leg and it's now down on the floor before him.
Yeah, I was thinking that something was missing.We haven't got maimed yet in this encounter.
rolled 5 = 5>>19224345A few broken bones never stopped us.
rolled 2 = 2>>19224345Thank god that people who are not us get excellent rolls every now and then.We need to get back up and drive out axe through the beasts head whilst arnulf has him on the groundOh please please don't let us crit fail this and kill Arnulf
rolled 20 = 20What are the monster's weak spots? are there any weaknesses we can exploit?Rolling for Perception/Insight/More fucking information on how to kill these things
rolled 19 = 19>>192244042 minutes too late.
>>19224345Forgot the dice roll d10
>>19224410Ahhh! All these excellent rolls not used on combat!
rolled 10 = 10>>19224424MAIM! KILL!
>>19224424USE THESE TWO>>19224404>>19224436
>>19224436Woop.>>19224450He did say roll d10... So I'd assume that he takes the first d10?
>>19224345WAIT! Ghouls are human-ish, aren't they? We get a +2 bonus against humans, right?
Arnulf: 2Jensen: 14>>19224404Studying the creature closely now, as Arnulf lays into it, you determine it's a vampire, but not as powerful as a much older vampire lord or it would have healed its injuries by now. You determine that it's still young enough to need blood to heal but old enough that its powers have begun to develop. You know the usual weaknesses of vampires are sunlight, silver, fire and a shit tone of damage but beyond that, you do not know.>>19224436Jensen is slowing now, but still able to hold his own, unless something drastic happens, he won't last long.Arnulf lays into the vampire with everything he has but it's still not enough. Even as badly injured as it is, it moves unnaturally fast, able to avoid his blows with ease. Suddenly it's behind him and before he can do anything, its plunged its hand into his back, through his plate armor. Gripping his spine, it tears it out before reaching back in and pulling free his heart. He's dead before he even knows what's happening.Feeling your new found power surge through you, you charge back in, swinging heavily at the vampire's neck. It sways back, but you still catch it, slicing open its throat, inches from taking its head. Renewed and enraged at your companions' deaths, you practically chop the vampire apart. Stunned and apparently over matched, the vampire dies under your blows, separated limb from limb and then head from shoulders. As the vampire dies, the ghouls let out a deafening shriek all at once before falling over dead.>What now oh mighty slayer?
>>19224625Tell Grim we have finished his task.Get to work burying our comrades in arms.
>>19224625Well shit...it's over. Tend to our many wounds as always. When we are able, gather the dead, our men deserve some respect in death for the great deeds and sacrafice here today. (Should we burn them or mass grave them or get someone to come back for them??).At this point I think we should pray to grim and offer the vampires death as homage to him hoping to appease our god. No need for words, he's a god, I'm sure he'll get it.
>>19224676I guess it's only 5 men. Ourselves and Jensen could dig those graves if we recover fast enough.
rolled 18 = 18Role for persuasion.Pray to Grim to allow our fallen their afterlive's of choice, they fought and fell valiantly, they deserve it.
>>19224691He might just listen to us. These men fought well against his foe. They deserve what afterlife they wish.
>>19224733Lets hope he is feeling kind. Last time we asked him for something he laughed in our face and cursed us to die a horrible death as a crippled mute...again...sorry for that roll.
>>19224747Yes, but we're not asking for any personal gain. We're asking for a peaceful afterlife for those who served him and died in his name.
>>19224761True
>>19224676>>19224661After tending to your wounds, which were remarkably light compared to previous encounters, you Jensen set about burning the bodies of the men who came with you. You brought five with you and all five have given their lives to put a stop to this vampire.Sadly it appears that Treiger is doomed, its populace either slaughtered or turned into ghouls to serve the vampire.Later, while trying to think of a way to communicate with Grim, you begin to feel light headed and blackout."You have done well Sigmund Venhaus. As a reward for such dutiful and quick service, I shall allow you to replace your arm so that you may better serve me."As you awaken, you find your nose broken but all your injuries healed.>>19224691I can do this if you want, but it will not go well no matter what you roll. Grim, reaper of souls and keeper of the dead, merely collects souls and makes sure they stay where they're supposed to. Asking this is likely to offend the other gods who's heaven their souls went to for presuming that Grim has any control over their worshipers fates in the afterlife. It will not end well.
>>19224781But it might just be a little too much. We still owe him a shit ton.
>>19224831*nose bleeding not broken
>>19224781This is so going to not work out...
>>19224831Fuck. OK, head back to the prince and tell him what happened here, and get a new arm. Maybe he'll repopulate the town.
>>19224831!!!!! :D Lets not ask anything of him. It would be presumtious and I'm not keen on pissing off OTHER gods not that we are earning some favour with this one.
>>19224868now*>>19224861Agree'd with this. Time to pimp our arm with magic and steel!
>>19224879Indeed, also, request more men. An entire town for some new sword, sounds fair to me.
>>19224899Yeah we certainly need new armor and weapons and fodder...I mean men.
I got to go, be back tomorrow or Saturday. Stupid real life.
>>19224925And get Jensen a better weapon, we need that guy to have our backs.I am placing bets that Jensen's the God of Loyalty. That's why he's never left our incompetent ass.
>>19224943Noooo! Have a good weekend. Looking forward to the next quest if I'm around.
>>19224955We should find out what weapon he'd prefer. I think a while back we found out he was particularly skilled with the mace, hence recieving a nicer one from the prince.
>>19224831Alright, new arm time.We won't get our face or voice back though I bet.Fair trade really.And let's not antagonize any other gods. Time to head back. Maybe we can take bits of those we've fought withs armor. As a memorial.
>>19224955Thanks for the quest, this was a ride.>"Blood and glory!"
>>19224991We shall wear a piece of each man's armour as a walking memorial to those who stood by us and fell to protect the innocent from those who wait in the darkness.
>>19224991Not a bad idea with the armor thing. We could inscribe something on a breast plate or something in their memory.
As if Sigmund wasn't fucking creepy already."Oh girls, here comes earl Sigmund Venhaus!">Half face gone, teeth showing.>left arm gone.>Just stares at you when you try to adress him.>Covered in monsters, his own and his order brothers blood.>Wears bits and pieces of armor from his fallen comrades.>His broken faced knight Jensen translates the runic handsigns with the battlehardened voice of his.>Oh yes, we gonna get harem ending fo' sho!
>>19225207Don't forget the bizzare mechanical and magical arm. Still though, imagine facing him in battle as a mere man, it would be terrifying.
>>19225207>Half a face>One arm>One soon to be metal arm>Skin covered in scars and bruises>1,000 yard stare that only a man who has actually talked to death can get>Platemail tattered in monster fingers and siguls and token from dead men>Creepy follower who can tank anything>Can't speak, only twitches his one flesh hand>Follower understands everything perfectly>He has bad luck like no other man to live>When ever the question "How would you like to go?" Pops up he just freezes, as if he already knows>This guy is out Earl and leader of the men who keep us safe>I don't know who's scarier, Sigmund the Monstrous of the ghouls
>>19225257Lol that is a brilliant description.
Get a drawfag in here.
>>19225257Is that going to be our new title?Sigmund the Monsterous?I approve.
>>19225278But again, i think we all know who is the most badass knight here.>>19225345Give me some time.
>>19225345Oh my god yes. How has this not already happened!?
>>19225353Also approving. I'm going to be so sad when our hero dies.
>>19225355Sigmund the Monstrous and Jensen the Unstoppable? Men sworn to Grim to fight the night?
>>19225381Hell yes. Although I don't think Jesen is sworn to Grim (not that it really matters).
>>19225393He's sworn to Sigmund, who is in turn sworn to Grim. Chain of command.
>>19225358>>19225345What kind of armour does Sigmun wear..
>>19225405I think we're using platemail with a fullhelm or halfhelm and mask.
>>19225405If I remember correctly, full plate. Although it's usually bent, torn and shredded to peices within minutes of an engagement
So plate, but really tattered.
>>19225416>>19225420>>19225429Facial structure?, ı am assuming gaunt.
>>19225457Gaunt, lined, fuck ugly.
>>19225457>>19225461Maybe once attractive but after so much abuse its a mess.
>>19225457Don't forget the steel mask he wears to cover up the deformed half of his face
>>19225461>>19225471>>19225478Also, while i draw, you guys should pick a theme music for our hero.
>>19225578Awesome idea, thats going to be difficult though.
rolled 15 = 15>>19225578>>19225595You all know god damn well that Sigmund can only march to war themes.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9DO1U1U5Rc
>>19225602Too heroic. We need something more grimdark.
rolled 19 = 19>>19225627Grimdark you say?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1Z1Zrot-go
>>19225627As much as I like it I'm going to have to agree. Although Sigmund might like to be a hero, he is so damn unlucky and deformed that it will never happen....Jensen on the other hand...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6VojYGrnpg&ob=av2e
>>19225755Haha very appropriate.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPk9E3nUAvkGrim Fate anyone? ;)
>>19225578http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIGFKrvBpZ8this.
>>19225795>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIGFKrvBpZ8Oh I like that!
Grim anyone?
>>19225803It has the right feel of epic and the dark side mixed in, I think.
So Jensen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9DO1U1U5Rc andSigmund: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIGFKrvBpZ8?
>>19225836I agree totally
>>19225816Not quite, but close.Maybe Grim's librarian.Speaking of which, I hope he has one.
>>19225853Closest thing to the reaper I had in my folder
>>19225816Wrong, if we're doing this, it's gotta be Pratchett's, a being of power who speaks right into the mind and gets somewhat interested in human affairs. And this one has and air of regalty.
Going to sleep now. Will finish the artwork and post it at next thread if i can catch it. See you later bros.
