Find back way into castle with frenemies.

We gonna storm the castle, is what.

>>21019062
like goddamned magic.

>>21019085
You and your frenemies walk around the castle. If it has any back ways and hidden entrances, you can't find them. These ones seem hidden pretty well.

What do you do.

>>21019088
That's not our thing. We've gotten this far by playing it smart. Our frenemies are only alive after they stormed a stronghold because we bailed them out

Try to find a lesser demon and question it about secret passage ways.

>>21019051
Look for a non-rocksfall-everyone-dies way to get in the castle. Also send adrian into the traps because fuck that guy.

>>21019106
Can we grappling hook on to a balcony?

>>21019113
All the demons are fighting.

>>21019120
You can indeed.

You take your bow, aim, and fire. The rope and hook latching onto the roof spikes and balcony.

Will you climb first?

>>21019108
We don't have time for that. We've caused the main battle to begin too early, and the army wsn't ready. Every minute we spend sneaking around is costing lives.

>>21019106
Does clarice have any spells that aid in avoiding detection?

>>21019136
No. She's a battle wizard, just combat spells.

>>21019129
Adrian climbs first because fuck that guy

We better steel ourselves, knowing warlocks, likely the city walls and streets form a magic circle and all the dying soldiers feed his army.
Blood and souls for more deamons, dead bodies for zombies en-masse.

>>21019133
And if we fail even more will be lost

>>21019129
Sure. Then the paladin, then the mage, then whatshisface.

>>21019147

>>21019147
>Adrian because fuck that guy

My new favorite part of this quest

>>21019181
justasplanned.jpg

You send Adrian up first, then yourself, then Clarice, and finally Mark. All of you are on a balcony overlooking the city and the chaos within. The Gate is awash with blood and battle, you've seen scenes like it once or twice, but your frenemies haven't.

You can't say anything to make it better, other than suggesting you move.

You walk through empty halls and rooms, finally to the Lord's booth above the Grand Hall in the castle. Legions of demons stand in lines waiting for the army to break through the doors.

Janus, you can see him, is sitting on the throne, using the king as a footrest.

He's surrounded by greater demons and succubi.

You can feel the magic field around him pulsate like a heartbeat.

What do you do?

>>21019204
Siege bow with blessed arrow.

You draw, at the frenemie's horror and protest. They're saying things like "No you fool! The king is right there!" what a bunch of bullshit.

You let fly the great arrow.

Janus merely laughs an sends up a barrier to block it. The clusterfuck of shrapnel bounds around and kills the greater demons guarding him, though.

Janus is now aware of your presence.

And all the demons are moving in for the kill.

>>21019336
I am wiggling in my seat for the OP's post regarding this

I honestly thought the dance of solitude would be a one time gag. I never saw it leading to this. OP, you are awesome

>>21019324
You dance your Dance with perfect form and grace, mesmerizing the demons as you hack through their numbers, obliterating them in a shower of gore.

The frenemies are awestruck as Sir Daniel answers the call of the needy. His arms moving like a snake, striking from every angle and felling his foes.

You dance down spiral stairs and across the hall, leaving a red carpet behind you.

You pass through Janus' barrier, and move in for the touch.

>"Wait what?"

BOOM.

Gore and bits of Janus go fucking everywhere across the halls. The doors open and Gaius, battle damaged, leads his men into the halls of carnage, and you standing above the king, now rising.

Before the celebrations can commence, the doors slam shut, trapping you and part of the army.

Bits of Janus are moving, you can see. Reforming.

But it's not Janus, no, he's gone for good, it's whatever Janus made his deal with.

>"I thank you for ridding me of him, mortal. But this world is mine, and all the souls in it. Starting with yours!"

Ever since your new life you've been immune to pain, no nerves. But this burns your soul.

Roll 2d100 for fortitude.

>>21019435
Thank you, exactly what I was looking for.

The hellfire of this Archdemon burn with a pain that you've never known before this. You feel it in your very core.

But your cause is just, and your mettle is stronger than the demons'.

But your cloak reacts otherwise.

The soul of your cloak was always animalistic, and weak willed.

This infernal fire drives it insane with pain.

As you skid across the floor from the blast, you hear it howling in agony.

As you stand it continues to roar and range in pain.

As you prepare yourself, you hear it scream and cry.

The mark of Hydra on your soul quells your fire, but not the cloak's.

You stand there, burning in black flame, stoic as a mountain as the agony of your wolfpelt echos off the walls. You can smell their fear, even the remaining demons'. When people get struck with Azreal's might, they disintegrate, they don't get up and go berserker.

What do you do?

>>21019652
Boom mother fucker here comes the pain.

The ground shakes as Hydra hears your call for aid. He knows that no mortal, undead or not, can take on Azreal at his full power. And Azreal owes Hydra a continent he sunk.

The castle floor quakes and shakes, as the Beast of the Sand sends out barbed tentacles through the earth.

The castle's defenses are nothing in his wake as his tentacles shoot through rock and stone, holding Azreal in place.

Azreal is open for a final shot.

Do you have anything witty to say?

We've lost every combat roll that didn't involve fucking dancing. We're a trollish engine of destruction

>>21019750
You give a short, somber dance as you cover ground towards the ranging Azreal.

500 years from now, the armies of Kerm train a special unit. A group of men, each clad in black armour to resemble your flames, each with a wolf like visage, all of them true warriors in battle.

People will speak of this day for all of Kerm's existence, of when the flaming night broke into the city from the sky, of how he obliterated Janus, then, instead of crumple and die from Azreal's fire, he danced.

His words before he stuck the final blow have been debated and argued over for centuries, as they are to be the words of the City.

Some say it's this;
"Heroes know not death, rest or mercy for evil. Die, and never return."

None can remember. But they all agree that Sir Daniel the Dancing Knight, struck true and just.

And that the Archdemon was destroyed in a shower of violent gore.

>"Daniel? Have you seen my little book about that traveling dancer? Or my book on undead, for that matter?"

Says Erik, breaking the mood as he walks into the hall, staff in hand, and looks about at the violence, and finally Azreal's corpse.

>>21019894
He's been dead a long time. Longer than you.

>"Ahem. That's enough for one day. I think."

Lay it down on the ground, give it comfort in its last moments, pet it, and let it pass away in peace.

>>21020092
If it was regular fire, sure. But it was a blast from Azreal. The only reason you got out is because of Hydra's mark.
>>21020102
Clarice, knowing when drama is needed, provides some spotlight and rain for effect.

Do you have anything to say?

>>21020102
Tears form in our eyesockets from condensation as we lift it's lifeless form to the heavens.
Everyone else looks away and coughs a little.

"Goodnight friend, companion. May you go gently to your rest. Sleep now, like I never can."

>>21020139
You really can't cry, but you allow the rain to make up for it.

You hold the cloak one last time as the corruption of the fire finishes the job and it crumbles to ash.

People turn away, cough, check the time and tap the group with the toe of their boot.

What do you do?

>>21020163
Thank Clarice, and start distributing loot

>>21020177
"Thanks Clarice" you say.
She just nods.

"LOOT TIME!"
Everyone cheers.

As the big damn hero, you get first pick. You pilfer the library with Erik, and grab every interesting book, tome and memoir.

Erik grabs 1,000 year old erotica.

He just shrugs at your glares.

You tie the books together and grab some money.

Your armour is charred jet black. What do you do now?

Is the armor still able to protect us? if no, we're gonna need some new swag. Said swag should still be black to commemorate the event. But with silver trim so its classy. Apart from that, head back home for some downtime before we go after the next rung on the ladder. Also, see if we got a new paladin power for this.

>>21020229
It's superficial, Hydra protects his own.
>>21020240
Janus really didn't have much with him, he was a poor fellow when he made his deal. And everything was taken from those he enslaved.

>>21020252
The armour is fine, but there's now a silver hydra on the chest to show how your God protected you.

There's nothing else to do here, well, not for undead like you.

Will you return home now?

>>21020285
Check the dungeons. We might find another companion.

>>21020303
Janus killed everyone to fuel his power.

>>21020285
Say farewell to friends and tell Adrian to fuck himself one more time for good measure. Time to hit the road with Erik.

>>21020285
Yes, and let frenemies know that they are welcome to visit. Except Adrian. Fuck that guy.

>>21020313
Well then looks like we're using a homeward bone.

>>21020314
You tell Mark and Clarice that you'll miss them, and they should come to Mort's club.

"You can go fuck yourself, though."
You say to Adrian.

He doesn't have the balls to do anything.

>>21020322
There are none in this setting.

What do you do?

>>21020317

How long till be start beating up on Mark, then?

Thank Clarice again, apologize once more for being all corpsey and PTSD inducing. See if there are any nice tapestries or other pieces of artwork to loot.

>>21020342
We already did that. The circle is complete. And Adrian is too a dick, he keeps calling us a demon.

>>21020336

Let's go home the way we came, and make sure to make an offering to Hydra through much dancing on the way.

>>21020352

To be fair, we started it by bullying him first.

>>21020342
What? No Mark is cool. We're a paladin, he's a paladin. We're the best of friends.

>>21020360
And then he started it back by being a racist and not drinking with us when we tried to look past his callous racism

>>21020379
And then we drugged him.

>>21020336
We shall found a Hydra temple and open a battle dance school for undead.

>>21020336
Let's head home spreading the tales of how Mark, Clarice, and even Adrian saved the day.
After all we aren't in this to be famous.

>>21020393
Fuck Adrian, he spent the whole time shooting arrows at skeletons

>>21020402
Which is an admirable action when said skeletons are now focused on killing him instead of the sword wielder coming up from behind.

>>21020386
If you put it like that, then of course it's gonna sound bad.

>>21020429
He was up to something, and we had to take him out of commission.
>>21020426
They were completely ignoring him. Even heard a few laughing about it.

>>21020429

But that's because it is bad!

>>21020347
There aren't any not covered with gore. You can have one made, however.

>>21020353
You return across the seas, every ship and sailor wishes to meet you personally.

You dance to Hydra and the song of the seas as a prayer.

You return home and walk back to the manor house.

It's just the way you left it, but with Stumbles with Meryl next to him, Rebecca and her family, and Mort all waiting to greet you.

>"Daniel! Masheter! I'm sho glad you're back all shafe and shound!"
Stumbles scutters over to hug you.

>"So, Uncle, how much murder and destruction did you create?"
"I came prepared for this, you little turd."

You throw a zombie head at her to show her what kind of enemies you were fighting.
>"Fair enough."

Mort tells you how big the club has gotten, and asks you all about your trip.

You lead them into the dining hall and tell them the entire story, including your new god.

>"Pah, Gods! What do they ever do?"
Rebecca mocks.

You're tempted to use your miracle touch, but don't. Instead you tell her of all that Hydra did for you, and to shut the fuck up.

She does.

That's it for tonight kids.

More tomorrow.

I hope you enjoyed it.

>>21020472
Fuck yes, hell fucking yes. Thank you OP, hope you have a good night

>>21020472
The legend of the Lord of Dance will strike fear into evil doers around world.This was fun and bizarre adventure. Hopefully Erik got more out of it than porn.

>>21020531

>Bizarre Adventure

Oh god it all makes a twisted sort of sense now - the dancing, the fabulousness, the god powers...

>>21020548
You love it.

>>21020472
