Events Summary:

You stopped the plague and saved Abigail from wrongful imprisonment, but the town was attacked by an invading force from Kan-Abar. After a long, difficult battle, you managed to make enough of a difference to save the majority of the town - though barely.

The retreating flotilla of Jacob's Field has reached Evinbrook, the capital of Kelvere. You've promised Sir Flint to help him remove a curse on his soul - some sort of dark, parasitic creature. You've convinced him to join you in tracking down Adavan and Abigail, the lich being a specialist in spirit magic.

You met with the ambitious and brilliant Duke Vellik - a man with aims to reshape the political landscape of the world. He's asked for your allegiance, in return for a home and protection for yourself and your friends. You asked for some time to think about the offer.

You explored Evinbrook's castle and read a few books in the library. You lost to Duke Vellik at stones, but learned more about him and his motivations. You sensed magic emanating from the lowest part of Vellik's castle, but were unable to reach its source. You explored the airship and have appropriated a rather nifty utility belt.

The good captain is standing bye!

>Last time...

You just finished exploring the airship.

The dynamo was a fascinating object that absolutely throbbed with power...you still have a bit of a desire to consume it. But the duke probably wouldn't approve if you incapacitated one of his most valuable assets.

Elementals were the only ones capable of creating dynamos. You tried to compress and spin some of your shadows into a ball...it held for a moments, but unraveled quickly.

Your new belt seems useful, though its many pockets and larger attacked purse are empty for the moment.

It's a few hours after sunset. You've been wondering what Sir Flint has been up to all day...

What do you do?

>try to find Sir Flint
>look for Joey
>locate Fredrick
>something else
>>
>>24387994
>attacked
*attached
>>
>>24387994
Try to find Sir Flint.

I have this idea in my head and once we find Flint and see what he has been up to we proceed to ask him about the Kan-Abar (people who attacked Jocob's Field) and their history.
>>
>>24387994
>try to find Sir Flint
Let's see what our bro has been up to.
>>
>>24388064
Ooooh, that sounds like a good opportunity for some exposition. I second this.
>>
>>24387994
see if we can find flint, maybe we'll run into Joey
>>
>>24387994

You spread out your senses...

...Flint's shining light is easy to see in the darkness. Points of life float like little candles...but he's a bonfire.

Oddly, you can't sense Duke Vellik. He probably makes an effort not to be sensed in such a manner.

Flint is across the bridge leading over the river, in a clustered group of houses. You slink your way through the darkness, holding still to avoid detection by the frequent patrols. You're soon outside the building he's within.

There's plenty of lights and noise coming from inside. Men are carousing and conversing...thinly dressed women are serving them large mugs filled with frothing brown liquid. There's several musicians playing lively, cheery music in one corner.

You locate Flint quickly. He's leaned up on a long counter near the back. He's slumped low on the wood.

What do you do?

>say something (write in or specify impression)
>speak to him when he gets back to the castle
>>
>>24387994
>Find Flint
>>
>>24388255
sneak towards his shadow, send him a general hello
<Flint, are you okay? If I may I have some questions>
>>
>>24388255
Send an impression of us peeking in through a window and waving.
I think that will get the point across.
>>
>>24388314
Agreed, don't want to make him seem too drunk by making him talk to nothing, at least in the others eyes.
>>
>>24388255
<It seems the fearless knight has risen at last, may I join you?>
>>
>>24388314

thirding this course of action
>>
>>24388314
Fourthing.
>>
>>24388314

You send Flint an impression of yourself waving a shadowy hand at him from the window of the bar.

Flint's slumped form doesn't budge, but he raises his right hand. At first, you think he's making a subtle attempt to return the greeting, but his hand lowers to stop a mug slid his way down the counter.

He raises himself up and - in one long motion - chugs the entire mug. He slams it down on the bar, though it's only a small pat in the middle of the noisy room. He fishes a few coins from his pockets and scatters them on the wood, then winds his way out of the bar.

He slowly meanders toward your position at the window. His feet keep getting ahead of his torso, and his eyes don't settle. Something about him is off.

"...eh, Shadow. Hey!" Flint stands next to you. He paints a striking picture. He cleans up rather nicely with a red and white shirt and coat, but he's practically falling over himself. "How're things...'n...you know?"

What is your response?
>>
>>24388469
Ask him how drunk he is
>>
>>24388469
"Same as usual. Played a game of Stones with the Duke, explored a bit.

What is this place? What was the stuff you were drinking? Why were the women dressed like that?

Why can't you walk right?"
>>
>>24388469
<Not nearly as entertaining as the night you've had. Missed you at dinner, but I must say I like the new look>
>>
>>24388469
...and of course he is drunk when we need to ask him questions.
<Flint...is something wrong? You seem...different>
Really, shadow doesn't know what "Being drunk" is.
>>
>>24388525
>>24388530
these are good, but lets not forget to ask about the people of Jacob's Field and how his meeting with the Duke went
>>
>>24388525
I like this, bombard him with questions.
>>
>>24388549
Ah! That reminds me from the last thread, we need to ask Flint what "in the sack" means.
>>
>>24388578
Clearly it must be added to the question list.
>>
>>24388578
This should be particularly amusing in his current state.
>>
>>24388578
Ask him what he means, for example what it would mean if we got "in the sack" with him.
>>
>>24388549
>>24388578
lets help him since it looks like he can't walk right now and ask him these while he's drunk. it might sober him up
>>
>>24388525

incessant questions in regards to effects of drinking AHOY!
>>
>>24388469

<...I'm fine. I played a game of stones with the duke, and I've learned a bit more about his goals...assuming he was honest with me. What's the matter with you?>

"Ah...drunks as shit, is s'matter."

<What's a drunk?>

Flint barks a laugh. <Fuckin' thing don't even know what drunk is. Jeeze. Drink beer, get drunk. Problems go bye-bye!" Flint pumps his fist. The motion nearly knocks him over. You hurriedly move to prop him up, but he catches himself at the last minute. "Shit. Gonna headsache in the morning. Let's get the shit out of here and leave."

He promptly marches off, ready to trip and break his neck. You leap into his shadow and keep on your toes.

<If that 'beer' makes you like this, perhaps you shouldn't drink it. It's not solving problems that I can see.>

"Don't solvesing shit, dummy. Just makes you stupid and not thinking."

<...an ignorance potion? Humans are strange.>

Flint coughs and splutters a weird giggle. "Of course you'd put it like that...shit."

<Did you see Joey or the townspeople today?>

"Ah yeah! Joey...fucking kid. Can't believe...shit. You know, I...asked him to be my squire. Parents liked the idea...thinkin', 'hey, get with a noble and everything'...and he's up for it. 'Cause you mentioned it. Well, so that's that...guess he can polish armors is something..."

<You're a bit...difficult to understand.>

"That's the beer talkin'. I'm drunk. Dammit, listen whenna man speaks, you know?"

You cross the bridge. He nearly teeters off into the river. You leap into position as a hand rail, but he sways back into the middle before reaching you. You pass a patrol and duck into his shadow. The men give Flint looks, but just mutter and shake their heads after he's gone.'

Do you try to communicate with Flint further, or just keep an eye on him until he's back in the room?
>>
>>24388578
>>24388549
Combo of these two
>>
>>24388704
Why havent we asked him what "in the sack" means yet? We must know!
>>
>>24388704
<An odd question, what's "get her in the sack" mean>
>>
>>24388704
Ask him what "in the sack" means, why women wear thing clothing, why he drinks, what problems he wants to forget, try to get him to explain why being stupid is good.
>>
>>24388761
>>24388741
>>24388578
>>24388601
>>24388606

acknowledged
>>
>>24388766
Thin clothing, not thing clothing. We need him to start explaining tits, sex, and all of that while hilariously drunk.
>>
>>24388766
This is a must and as much as I want to I don't think we are going to get any "useful" information out of him.
>>
>>24388761
>>24388766
these
<Flint, honestly do you believe the Duke is sincere in his wish for peace?>
>>
>>24388801
Okay, we might get an honest answer if we ask this.
>>
>>24388704
>>24388801
this would probably work since he's to drunk to lie
>>
>>24388801
I fourth this
>>
>>24388704

<Speaking of ignorance, I've a few questions.>

"Well shit, just ask. You're my friend er somethings...?"

<What does the phrase "get her in the sack" mean?>

"Dumb idiot," Flint says. "Means you take a woman and roll in the hay. Bed 'er."

<What does "roll in the hay" mean?>

"Take a tumble. Sleep together. Bed a woman. What's I wanna do to Megan. Fuck, man. Fuck."

<...copulation?>

"Shitsis stupid, but yeah."

<...oh.> The thin clothing of the women suddenly has context. Easier access. <This beer seems rather popular. Do the women serve it as a profession...?>

"Nothin' like a good bar maid." Flint makes a lopsided grin. "...couple times. Not anymore. I'm not in my teens now, shit."

It strikes you that women seemingly primed for copulation via thin clothing would make excellent marketing for male beer consumption. The nature of the bar becomes more clear to you.

The castle guards have a quiet chuckle when Flint passes, but he's in the doors without a problem.

What do you ask now? Or do you remain silent?
>>
>>24388859
>>24388825
>>24388820
>>24388801

Ok.
>>
<Do you think the duke is sincere? About his wish for peace?>

"...shit, I dunno. Probably. But whatsayin' his'is...ah, the pieces...shit. Um, so, you think world's just gonna fall into place? That's what I'm saying. Bloody. Forcing the world...into a vision. Maybe a bigger bite than anyone's chewing, you know? But...hell. Might as well try if you got the time and the power and the...shit. Who gives a fuck?" Flint sighs. "Anyone does it...maybe him, I guess. But he's not so, you know, nice and all. Ain't cuddly and fucking happy. He's political demons and...that's what I mean. Peace...at what cost?"

<The duke told me it's a folly to care to much...but you're a better man than him, because you know that, but you care nonetheless.>

"Yeah...?" Flint eyes you for a moment. He seems briefly surprised, even happy...but the drunken grimace crosses his face once more. "Easier if I didn't. Didn't care."

<So, you drink beer to become stupid.>

"S'bout the sizeofit, yeah."

<What good does that do you?>

"Stupid means think less. Think less, hurt less, shit man, don't you get it? Fuck. I hate thinkin' about shit. Gerald and Megan and...fuck. Fuck it. Not thinkin' about it."

You're going up the stairs. You keep your arms on either side of him as he thumps back and forward, one arm leaving heavily on the railing.

What do you ask him now?
>>
>>24389056
Why did he say it was too late to talk down the Kan-Abar? Did something happen? (Been looking over the old threads)
>>
>>24389056
<If the Duke truly could at least tell us what your curse is, would you hear him out>
>>
>>24389056
<If you were in my position, would you side with the Duke and help him achieve his goals?>
>>
>>24389056
<The Duke may not be all bad, at least he sincerely hopes you can succeed in your mission>>
>>
>>24389056
<Are memories so unwanted that you wish not to think over them? I have very few and most are filled with either questions or conflicts. Are you the same, perhaps?>
>>
>>24389124

<I don't understand Kan-Abar's position. What good they get from waging war like this? No acceptance of surrender, no peace?>

"...shit man, s'have times s'to educate you on every damn thing...n'...well,'skinda simple n'...Obis was gonna rule, Nulis, younger brother, drove him out. Got the war hawks on 'is side...no one knows where Obis is...prolly dead, poor sonovabitch. Nulis keepin' his rule...uniting his people by making the rest of the world enemies, get me?"

<I think so.>

>>24389125

<What would you say if the duke could do something about my curse?>

"...I'd go home and find somethin's else to help," Flint says. "...not gettin' in debtors prison to that...that man."

>>24389139

<What would you do if you were me?>

"I can'ts hardly understands you when you don't even fucking know BEER, man. Not even beer. Shit, you just wanna keep Abby all safe and cozy...should just build a fuckin' cabin in the woods and live there 'er something. Why be a servants of dukes...shit."

>>24389218

<Are your memories so unwanted that you wish not to think over them? I have very few and most are filled with either questions or conflicts. But...the few I have...I cherish.>

"The many I have...I wish I didn't," Flint says.

You've finally made it to the top floor. You probably won't have time for many more questions...
>>
>>24389311

Correction

><What would you say if the duke could do something about **YOUR** curse?>
>"...I'd go home and find somethin's else to help," Flint says. "...not gettin' in debtors prison to that...that man."
>>
>>24389311
As a side note, when the opportunity presents itself, we should probably get the sword shard and key and put them in the beg we've got now.

Never know when we might need to make a hasty exit, and we wouldn't want to lose track of those things.
>>
>>24389390
Seconding. Where were those items?
>>
>>24389390

Sure.

----------------

In case anyone is wondering, 5-minute cutoff for dialogue prompts. Then it's time to get the story moving again, we've had enough dilly-dallying.
>>
>>24389311
The more Flint speaks the more I start to like him. It's nice to get another's opinion on this and i'm not as eager to join forces with the Duke after this.
>>24389390
Third, Flint has them if I remember correctly
>>
>>24389445
I absolutely cannot think of anything else to ask him for the life of me.

>>24389390
Fourth

>>24389428

3 things.

Spirit Sword - it attacked you, and you wrestled it free from a feral Spirit elemental. It's an ornate sword charged with powerful Spirit energy. Some people wanted to consume it, but the majority wanted to save it for Abigail, worst case scenario using it as a med pack.

The Fancy Sun-Moon key was something you found in the Old Forest Keep. It opened the chest holding the Shadow Sword shard.

The Shadow Sword Shard is a piece of the blade of a broken sword. It was resting inside a steel container cushioned by padding on the inside. Only you could read the strange etchings on the blade itself, but as it was broken, this is all that was legible:

-n, the void tw-
>>
Finally, caught the thread once

Not sure if this has been noticed before but I wanted to note that when Adavan called the spirit at Jacob's Field "Nice Lady", it is not because he thinks she is nice but because Abigail called her like that. Remember when we met her she told us she could talk to spirits and she mentioned some lady? I believe she is that lady.

Anyway, carry on
>>
>>24389511
We could also give the sword to the Lich the next time we see him. But ofc that also depends if he could even swing it.

Ask for the shard and for his opinion of the elements being on two different sides.
>>
Flint stops at the door to his suite. He leans against a tapestry hanging from the stone wall. He droops low.

He's silent.

You're just about to ask if he's alright when he slams his fist into the wall. And then, again, harder. "...shit...shit. Never fuckin'...goes away."

<What are you talking about?>

"You wanna know? Whatchyou wanna know about? You gonna laugh at me too? Huh?"

<Flint, I don't - >

"Fuck, man." He crashes through his suite door. Concerned, you hurriedly rush in after him and close the door, hoping he's not making too much noise.

"You wanna fucking know? You know what they call me at home? Dummy Donny. Idiot. Shithead. The fourth son - and the first three got all the good shit, and I'm the dribble. That's what they say.

"And fuck. I worked - I TRAINED - day and day and day after days, over and over. I studied...I read the whole library twices, and even learned a...some magics and things...I'm best at the sword, but...I can't...I never..." Flint falls back on his bed. "...No one's ever sees it...always fall right when...just when I thought I'd finally show 'em...then you tell me it's...this thing is on me...who? Who fucking did it? WHY?!"

Flint slams his fist into his pillow. "SHIT! WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME?!?"

He draws his pillow in. He sniffs. His eyes are red and wet. "...stole her from me. Stole Megan. That things stole Megan...and now, Gerald...shit. Shit!" He pounds the pillow again.

And before you know it, he's out cold.

You have a feeling you heard things that Flint considered of greatest privacy.

Flint lies on his bed, fully clothed, breathing slowly, but soundly. His hand still clench the pillowcase tightly.

What do you do?
>>
>>24389661
get hi in night cloths and tuck him in
>>
>>24389661
Gently untie and remove his shoes, place them on the floor next to his bed, it sucks to sleep wearing shoes. Then tuck him into get, get the blanket on him, let him rest.
>>
no sword for Adavan. He is a Teacher now. We should keep it to give to Abigail as a 'Graduation' Present...

>>24389661

<Get some rest. For on the Morrow, the hunt will begin>
>>
>>24389661
Seems like an excellent opportunity to acquire the sword shard and key.
>>
>>24389661
Damn, I have to feel sorry for this guy. We should double prioritize freeing him from the shit-shadow-snake.
Anyways let's do this >>24389727
>>
>>24389661
lets get him ready for bed, send him calm emotions to help him relax
>>
>>24389661
Wasn't that snake thing around him trailing south or something? If we could see that, could we follow it?
>>
>>24389727
This, and get the shard
>>
>>24389802
or find Adavan
>>
>>24389661
>>24389734
This and shall we also call it a night? Or shall we do a once over of the castle?
>>24389802
To the south is the empire of light and i'm not sure we want to head that way.
>>24389820
>>24389751
Get dat shard and key.
>>
>>24389802
Ahh I found it in thread 8, it trailed "Almost straight south."
And it was apparently giving 'spirit' vibes, so
>>24389822
That would probably be the better choice.
>>
>>24389834
I dont think we need the key. The key did its job and i doubt there will be other locks with the same keyhole
>>
>>24389847
> it trailed "Almost straight south.
Judging by the map that was posted a while back, that suggests it's coming from Flint's own kingdom.

I suspect treasonous intrigues.
>>
>>24389877
We want all four keys, for that thing that I just blanked, and this may be one of them.
>>
>>24389847
>And it was apparently giving 'spirit' vibes
Wait a minute, we should try cutting the thread with the spirit sword! Spirit blades cut spirit threads right? I doubt that SM will let us save this man's destiny that easily, but we should see if this will have any effect.
>>
You feel...

...you feel...? You have no name for it. But the feelings direct your actions.

You untie his shoes and set them on the floor next to him. You push him into what appears to be a more comfortable position, then throw the bed's blankets over his form.

You stand away from him, watching him for a moment. You try something you haven't before...you send him an Impression. Calm. Peace.

Balance.

Flint's clenched features relax. His grip on the pillow softens.

...balance...

...you can feel them. Water...somewhere south. Earth, far southwest. Spirit, now north.

And the other four...impossibly far. But there.

The feeling fades. You try to bring it back, but it stubbornly refuses to coalesce.

You open Flint's pack, which is leaned up next to a chair elsewhere in the room. You stow the Sun-Moon Key in a pocket on your belt and the Shadow Sword Shard in the largest pocket, the purse. The Spirit Sword has its own sheath, now - perhaps Flint bought one while he was out. You could hook it on your belt if you were so inclined...

>take the Spirit Sword as well
>leave the sword for now
>>
>>24389922
Use the spirit sword to cut the shadow/spirit thread from the shit-snake.

Pastebin Compiler Guy here!
I see you didn't add my link in the intro. Were you going to do that or did I remember incorrectly?
Need me to repost the link?

>>24389959

we have no way of knowing if cutting the connection could cause feedback directly into Flint. Leave the sword in his care. Get Adavans diagnosis on it first. Better to be safe than sorry in these situations...

>>24389922
I say we leave the spirit sword.

It would hardly be fair to pocket all the items from the keep. Flint has a right to keep a share of the loot.
>>
>>24390065
Why?
>Rebel
>>
>Oh, right. You've gained 3 humanity. (19 total)

As you stare at the sword, an idea strikes you.

You remember the sword's ethereal former master...the spirit elemental. Perhaps it can strike the parasite? Or cut it off from its other end?

You draw the sword with an Articulated Fist. The numb vibration of the spirit magic hums in your hand. You turn.

The parasite lingers...passive. You see the misty trail leading from Flint, across the room, and through the wall...you level the sword over the connection, and, bracing yourself, swing.

The sword passes through the trail and thuds into the carpet. Nothing happens.

You sheath it and heave a sigh.

What do you do now?

>hook the sword on your belt before retiring
>leave it with Flint's things
>>
>>24389959
On second thought, right now the Ebon Wanderer would probably want to leave Flint alone, and let him get his rest. This is better done with Flint's consent.
>>
>>24390091
Damn. Leave the sword with his stuff and depart.
>>
>>24390091
A good try I have to say, but lets leave it with flint go on our merry way.
>>
>>24390028

Yeah, I just forgot. My bad.

>>24390065

Uh...well then.

I can post both, but having two people do all that work seems silly.
>>
>>24390100
Well, nevermind. I should always update before I post. >>24390091

Anyways, let's leave it, and ask him about it later. We are already our own weapon, so there's no reason to need this.
>>
>>24390091
Leave the spirit sword behind. If Flint bought a sheath for it, that would imply he intended to keep it.

I wanna give the sword to Abigail latter. I mean, she doesn't seem the sword like type yet and I'm just paranoid something bad may happen to her otherwise. I really want Adavan to look at it without us having to rely on Flint carrying around our stuff.

You retire to your room and sit on your bed.

Sleep...it doesn't seem to be something you need. But the quite is nice. The dark is nice.

You've found out so much in such a short time. The only thing you've truly confirmed is how little you know.

The duke's propositions are intriguing...but in this world, you're an ant, and he's a giant. Any deal he'd make would seem tempting. On the other hand...perhaps you do want to be a part of that vision. Would you be satisfied with a Abigail and a log cabin? Would she even want that sort of life?

You wonder where she is, and what she's doing. You hope Adavan is keeping his word.

Why do you feel such an attachment to her? It's strange...but then...she was the first person to know you. Her acceptance was easy, and immediate. A child's affection, simple - but too sweet to ignore...something worth protecting, fostering, growing.

Flint's situation seems complicated. You realize you know little of his past, or his family. It seems that the parasite has been with him a long time...you remember the duke mentioning that Gerald was his eldest brother, but you wonder about that other name he mentioned, Megan...who is she? More importantly, who is she to Flint?

...the night passes...you slip into a deeper meditation. Your thoughts float in black space...you see the world as pinpricks of light in a void...

A thumping at your door startles you from your reverie. "Shadow?"

<Flint.>

The door creaks open. The man scratches his ears and works a hand through disheveled hair. "Damn. My head is killing me. How did I get back here?"

<I found you at the bar, drunk. I escorted you back.>

"Oh." Flint leans on the door frame. "Guess I was really out of it?"

How do you respond?

<'Out of it' does not accurately describe your behavior,> you say. <You intentionally imbibed beer, which you informed me was an ignorance potion, to make yourself stupid. You taught me several euphemisms for human copulation, including 'get her in the sack', 'bed her', and 'take a roll in the hay'. From these I deduced the purpose of the bar.>

"...well..."

<When I asked you what I should do if you were in my place, you said that, considering I don't understand beer, you couldn't possibly understand me. You then proclaimed that if my goal was simply to protect Abigail that I should build a log cabin in the woods and live with her there rather than involve myself with the duke.>

Flint has flushed a rather deep red. "...well...I suppose I owe you an -"

<You also informed me that, even if the duke could help with your curse, you'd rather seek help elsewhere than be subjected to his 'debtors prison'.>

"...that one I'd tell you sober, too."

<You also...> You hesitate a moment. <You mentioned frustration over...past failings. Though you weren't specific. You mentioned your training, and...your family's regard for you. And your brother, Gerald, and a woman, Megan. You...> You are unable to meet Flint's eyes. <...you seemed to think that your parasite somehow stole this Megan from you.>

The room is quiet for a long time.

"...I see."

<I realize...those things, perhaps, were not meant to fall on my ears.>

"...I..." Flint shakes his head. "...we'll speak on it another time. But for now..."

<Whenever you feel it is appropriate.>

"Thank you."

There's a knock on the door.

"...come in," Flint calls.

The door opens smoothly. It's - once again - the duke's manservant. His hair is as smooth as his fine-pressed coat. "Gentlemen. Brunch will be served shortly." He glances up. "There's plenty of water, as well."

Flint mutters something under his breath. "...ah, good. Could you be so good as to have a bath drawn up?"

"Already done," the man says. "Across the hall."
con't
>>
>>24391110
Shit, the manservant couldn't hear us right?
Right?
>>
Flint spends a few minutes bathing. Without much else to do, you sit in the room and wait. When he reappears, he's fully dressed in his armor and pack.

<I see you're ready.>

"I figured we'd want to be on the road as soon as possible...no matter your response. By the way...did you have the key, and the shard of that sword?"

<I do. You seemed reticent about them...>

"No, it's fine," he says. "Just wanted to make sure we hadn't lost them. Nice belt, by the way."

You adjust your single article of clothing. <Thank you.>

"Leather needs to be kept well-oiled. I'll show you later. Oh, by the way, I've asked Joey to be my squire, and he's - "

<You informed me of that as well, last night.>

"Oh. Great."

The manservant once again calls on you, and you're taken to the same dining chamber you were in previously when you played the game of stones. The duke and his double, Thomas, are both at the table. The manservant takes an out-of-the-way place on the wall to the side.

"Sit, sit! Eat!"

The meal is quiet. The duke and Thomas share conversation about the state of Evinbrook. The main body of the army is headed north the next day. At some point, you notice that the manservant has left. Probably to attend to something somewhere. That man is everywhere.

The clink and clatter of silverware slows to a halt. You've long since absorbed your plate of food.

The duke clears his throat. "Well, my friends...have you come to a decision regarding my proposition?"

What is your response?

>accept the duke's terms in full; you will work with him to achieve his goals, and he will shelter your friends
>offer your friendship, and possible future allegiance, but no commitment to his rule
>reject the offer outright, politely explaining that you simply no too little and cannot honestly offer allegiance in a world you don't understand
>CONSUME HIM, AND HIS LITTLE DOG TOO (because that's always an option)

<I have decided...> You look at Flint, then back at the duke. <Prior obligations call me elsewhere. There are people to whom I owe debts...and people I must protect.

<But I respect you, your excellency, and your goals. Though lofty and idealistic, they resonate with me. Your show has won an audience. I would have us part as friends - and perhaps, when the time is right, I can offer you my full allegiance. But for the moment, I can't tie myself down.>

The duke sets his fork down on his plate. He folds his hands. "...are you sure?"

<I am.>

"I could offer great help in tracking down the lich, and Abigail. And my resources could certain aid our mutual friend -" He nods toward Flint. "the good knight Sir Flint."

<I know. But these are our problems, and we will solve them.>

"I see." The duke sighs. "In that case - "

The door bursts open. It's the manservant. "Your excellency, angels are here! They're up the stairs, they'll be here any moment!"

The duke rises. "What is this? Calm down and explain."

"There's no time. I've tried to slow them with formalities, but asking a man to stand and stall an angel..."

"Which ones?"

"Auriel and Raziel."

"When did they arrive? How?"

"The Velarion just warped into our airspace but minutes ago. I ran to get here."

"What?" Flint asks. "What are two of the high council doing here so suddenly?"

"You are with Thomas," the duke says quickly. "Sir Flint. They'll be able to sense you easily, so don't move. Don't act alarmed, just surprised." The duke looks at you. "We've only got one hope - that they haven't sensed you. Get behind this."

The duke pulls a drape of the wall. At his touch, it mists orange - not with the electricity you expected. You hesitate, confused.

"Hide you with my own magic and implicate myself?" the duke says. "You must be mad. Now slip behind the tapestry before they move another inch closer!"

You leap behind the hanging. The duke withdraws behind another tapestry, and that one sparks and snaps with electric energy. And so you wait there, tense, uncertain. You stretch out your senses...

...you can feel nothing. Angels. Aren't they aligned with the light? They should flare brightly...or perhaps they are good at concealing themselves.

The doors open.

Two angels step inside.

The first is beautiful. A cowl is pulled low over her silver hair. A blue circlet is pinned to the waist of her dress. It sparkles with light energy. White wings are folded neatly behind her back...

The second is like light incarnate. Light defines his features, glows in patterns on his clothing, illuminates the four swords sheathed on his back. He's like a totem of light.

Thomas, the double, stands. Flint also stands, and he bows almost double. Thomas nods his head respectfully to the silver-haired woman. "Auriel." He nods to the gold-lined angel. "Raziel."

"Spare me this idiocy," Raziel says. His voice cuts the air like a sword. "Vellik. Get out here."

Thomas raises an eyebrow. "...high one?"

The hilt of Raziel's swords begins to glow white-hot. You feel the power from your position...

...and you feel fear.

"Don't make me ask twice."

"Peace, Raziel," Uriel says. She turns toward the curtain hiding the duke. "Your excellency, if you would. I'm afraid my companion has little patience for games, today."

The duke reveals himself with a smile. "High ones. How can I be of service?"

"You requested aid against Kan-Abar, did you not?"

"...aid was requested from Arland."

"And so we have come, for it was reported that the Kanians were making use of demons," Uriel clarifies. "Is this so?"

"I've no reports of that, no," the duke says. "But then, my ears are not always accurate. I had thought to settle this without involving the Ring City."

"...I see. Perhaps we shall investigate for ourselves. Why have they attacked you?"

"Expansion," Vellik answers. "Nulis seeks to consolidate his rule at home with external military conflict. They are the aggressors in this war, I can assure you."

"We will be the judge of that," Raziel says sharply.

Uriel looks at him. Raziel folds his arms and settles back on his heals. He turns to the duke, after glancing at Sir Flint. "I see you have guests of Arland."

"Sir Flint has been - "

"We are aware of his goal to restore Aeolus's knighthood," Uriel says. "A worthy goal, Sir Flint, and one worth commendation."

Flint bows double again. "I am honored, highest. That is too much for myself."

con't
>>
>>24392149
looks like us leaving just made this easier for th Duke

The duke clears his throat. "Yes. Sir Flint's intervention saved hundreds of my people. You can ask him, and them - Kan-Abar attacked outright, and without provocation."

"We will be speaking with Nulis, and soon," Uriel says. "Sandalphon is watching this conflict closely."

The duke swallows.

You decide you never want to meet Sandalphon.

Raziel sniffs. He twitches his nose. "...something is...off."

"You think so?" Uriel says. "I sense it as well."

"Darkness," Raziel whispers. He scans the room.

Raziel's gaze locks on your position behind the tapestry.

"Darkness?" the duke demands. "In my castle?!"

"An elemental, no less," Raziel says. "A parasite, no doubt. I'll handle this."

You feel a stone cold grip on your heart. But what can you do? There's nowhere to run! You shrink back further, trying to reduce your presence...

Raziel's hand behinds to glow like white fire.

"Now, Raziel," Uriel begins. "Show restraint. You wouldn't want to - "

A beam of light explodes from his palm.

BOOM

The wall of the castle erupts with fire. The light sears you, and then you're in open air, falling, tumbling! You slam into the castle wall and keep falling!

You form a hand with your body...

...your Fist crushes into the castle wall! Stone and mortar are chipped out as you drag yourself down. You strike the ground hard, but land on your feet. You blast out as fast as your can!

SHEEEWWWW
BOOOM

Light explodes behind you! The force carries you forward even faster!

You spare a moment the glance over your shoulder...

...Raziel is flying down out the hole he made in the duke's castle! He's preparing another magical attack, and all four of his swords are drawn, floating in the air around him!

You realize you've landed at the airship dock. Crates and supplies are all around you. The dynamo within the craft thrums at your senses. People are screaming, scattering away from the explosions. You can feel mages condensing around your position.

If you're caught in the open, Vellik will have no choice but to disown you.

What do you do?

You Mimic a person and slide into the crowd...

"Foolish creature!"

An explosion of light detonates in the ground in front of you. People stumble back...but the light passes though them harmlessly!

The wave of light pushes you backward, sending you flying, tumbling. You land on your feet...you feel alright, but the spell has separated you from the crowd! You've been pushed all the way near the airship!

"Feel Hyperion's wrath!" Raziel raises his hands, and his swords fly forward!

Roll for your dodge!

The swords of light fall like blazing spears...

...and you lift yourself up, zipping to and fro the the shadow of the lightning bolt! The spears pound into the ground and send out waves of light, but you're already gone!

You find yourself pushed back to the entrance of the airship. You try to get down to escape down the cliff...

Raziel throws another sword, and you leap back further into the ship! The weapon pierces through even the steel and wood of the hull!

The airship roars.

It lifts off the ground. In half a second you're high in the air!

...you only now remember the noon takeoff time.

Raziel flies forward, coming even with the cargo hatch. "Not afraid of heights, are you?"

What do you do?

I'm betting he set us up anyway. It seems awfully convenient that the angels showed up right at the moment we refused to be his minion.

I don't feel all that bad about CONSUMING the power source of his airship.

They caught us with him. If shadowy things happen about the Duke from this point on they will implicate him immediately. Or there is at least a good chance of that.

Eating the core is an irreversible option that may still lead to our deaths. Even if we succeed there are so many ways it could go wrong. Meanwhile running away leaves open the option of eating the core. Four more EXP and full health won't even let us kill Dickiel.

You form your body into a big, inky hand and point over his shoulder.

"What's that behind you?!"

Raziel is stunned that you've spoken.

Out of habits ingrained by a lifetime, he glances back with a dumbstruck look on his face.

You tear into the airship.

"THIS IS ALL JUST A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING!!!"

You quickly lose yourself in the tangle of wood and steel hallways. They're uniform and regular...everything looks the same.

You can feel a pulse of light pursuing you, but he's not trying to rip out the innards of the airship...yet.

You do have some sense of direction. The engine room is just below you. A set of stairs offers a way down...the power it exudes might just hide your aura.

The power offered by the dynamo picks at the back of your brain...it's like nothing you've felt before.

Or, perhaps you'd be better off in a crew deck, hiding amongst people. Either way, if he saw through the duke's enchantment, normal concealment seems shaky.

What do you do?

>hide in the engine room
>hide on the crew decks

>something else

Hopefully all the FIRE MAGIC coming from it will keep us hidden, sure he'll know to look there, but it's our best chance. It'll give us a chance.

Don't eat the DYNAMO.

Maybe Dickiel could be made to see sense, with us darting around him, telling him that we don't mean any harm, and have saved the town from the agressors.

This. I vote eating the core as a last resort.

But it's an option, if we need to preserve our life. Hell, I'm down for eating Raziel if we have to kill him, but let's hide.
Then talk.
Then fight, if we must.
Then eat the core when we get blasted and almost die.

You dart down to the engine room.

You're greeted by the thrumming dynamo. Blue light swirls in its depths...

...you give yourself a shake and duck into a cranny between two moving pistons. Hopefully the motion will distract him.

It's quiet. Several engineers move about, checking dials and inspecting the parts of the machine that surround the dynamo. None of them seem to be mages, but with all the power swirling around it's difficult to tell. You settle back against the corner to wait.

Time passes...but there's no way to tell how long its been.

You glance around. The engineers are gone.

Gold light flares from around the corner. You shrink back into your hiding place and freeze absolutely still.

"...shadow..." Raziel's footsteps somehow echo inside the noisy chamber. "Come out, come out, wherever you are...."

What do you do?

>try to communicate and talk him down
>remain hidden
>something else
>>
>>24393701

>>24393701

He hasn't seen us yet, so let's not move, but if we're found we should cry, and tell him we're sorry we exist, but WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IN THE NAME OF FUCK IS HAPPENING.

Then the jam shall commence.

Cool, stay hidden, hopefully this won't out us.

<Why would I do that? You'll try to kill me, again.

I don't want to fight, I mean you no harm, I just want to be left alone, I'm peaceful, I want to help people. I have done you no harm nor am I affiliated with anyone other than myself.

Please just leave me alone, I don't want to crash this Airship with both of us in it, but if you attack you will force me to do so.>
>>
>>24393803
But the thought of it might stun him! Imagine, we get all 100s, and his brain explodes from the pure oddity of the thought.

>>24393824
Or we get all 1's and die. Painfully.
>>
>>24393807
This, but leave the last line about "Crashing the airship" out.

>>24393824
Alternately, he is unmoved by our pleas of friendship and now knows we're in the room with him.

>>24393854
>>24393844
I suppose either of those could happen.
But does the risk outway the reward?
>>
>>24393757
I'd remove the Duke from the image, we don't want them to think that we're affiliated in the least, if asked we'll say we were in the castle because we saw magic there and were curious.
>>
If all else fails, we send him an image of him attacking, us eating the dynamo to survive, and the ship crashed in the center of a town, with us weeping for the unnecessary dead.

Even if we wouldn't weep for the dead, the imagery would be very powerful to an angel, indeed.
>>
>>24393864
no, don't expose ourselves
>>
>>24393864
Some form of communication. Though I still feel he's not going to leave until we're dead or he is.
>>
>>24393807
if we have to talk, something like this, but nit the airship part might give away where we are
>>
>>24393803
Yes. There seems to be a trend with this kind of thing. Someone makes a funny suggestion, people find it hilarious and vote for it (who cares about acting reasonable anyways). The DM then either ignores it, runs with it and let's them fail horrible because of how stupid the suggestion was - at which point many suggesters claim they didn't mean it as a serious suggestion and complain that the QM took them serious - or the DM runs with it and the quest quickly degrades into utter silliness, because they feel encouraged to choose silly suggestions instead of reasonable ones (with a sprinkle of silly ones where appropriate).
>>
>>24393881
I don't think communicating our backup plan is a good idea if it's just gonna give him time to prepare to defend the dynamo.
>>
>>24393864
Yeah, let's ask him to leave us alone, but warn that we're ready to rumble if he forces it. Don't mention CONSUMING the dynamo, or else he might guard it
>>
>>24393864
hide.
>>
>>24393916
Geeze, I'm sorry, it literally was a hark on what we did not even three threads ago.
>>
>>24393927

You're right, but I still like the crashed airship imagery - let's just not mention the consumed dynamo.
>>
>>24393916
The DM himself was the one who made the joke in the first place. We just think now would be a funny and appropriate time to make it again. Besides, our other options are to hide until he finds and kills us, or try to negotiate, in which case he quickly finds us and kills us, or we CONSUME the dynamo, fight him, and then he kills us.
>>
>>24393864

<Come out? Why? You'll just try to kill me again.>

"So you -are- down here," Raziel says. "I'm surprised you can talk. That's rather advanced."

<...advanced?>

Raziel ignores your question. "It's just like the shadow...slinking, creeping, crawling in the dirt and the muck like a coward and striking from the shadows. How many times have I played out this scene with shadow mages?" His swords flip lazily in the air around his body. "If I didn't clean them, even my swords wouldn't glow for being so stained with the blood of shadow mages. They sing for it..."

<...I mean you no harm. Nor the people of Evinbrook, nor anyone harm. I merely wish to be - >

"Left in peace?" Raziel finishes. "I'm afraid that alone puts us at odds."

You send him an images of a burning wreck of an airship. <You'll kill me and everyone here at your pace.>

"You're right. And if everyone dies, no one will be left to tell the story but me. Such an evil shadow...consuming everything it could in a desperate attempt to live. No choice but to use my full strength...

"...but I like hide and seek. Let's play."

He raises his hands. A sphere of white light glows bright...

"AUGH!"

One of his swords scrapes your flank as you dig your tendrils into his soul and rip at his wings. He isn't expecting the brutal assault and is sent stumbling backwards, trying to get his balance.

Raziel grabs you with his hand. Burning hot claws sink into your flesh and peel you away.

He screams as he does it, a terrible, ugly screech. You're sunk in deep, and you have to be ripped out by force.

But he does, and he throws you across the room. You slam into side of the engine.

>you have lost 2 HP (8/21)

You stand. But you feel as though you're under some huge pressure...what is that?

Raziel is clutching at his head. Where you tried to consume him, his skin is melted nearly to the bone. "...my face...what did you DO TO MY FACE?!"

He raises his hands. "DIE YOU PIECE OF FILTH!" His swords snap to his command and glow white-hot once more.

You're pinned against the engine...there's little room.

But you realize you're sitting right next to the magical dynamo powering the entire airship. It's the source of the pressure squeezing you...

Raziel's spell continues to build. A network of interconnected gold lines is spiraling between his weapons. It's glowing brighter and brighter. The power dwarfs anything he's cast thus far. If that thing is unleashed, he'll blow away half the ship.

What do you do?

Is there some way to stop the spell? It seems like a complicated affair, so maybe consuming a sword would disrupt it. That'd be the only way to prevent a ton of collateral, which would only be bad publicity for us.

Eating the dynamo has been tossed around as an option since you first explored the airship.

Sorry, I thought that counted as nasty things. Would elemental resistance be the thing to buy if we want to safely consume angels? Or do we even need to buy anything for that?

Say you consumed a water-based weapon with a frostbite enchantment (freezing ailment chance).

Iron stomach protects you from the ailment.

Water resistance would actually let you extract more energy from the artifact itself; that is, your consumption would be more efficient.

If we consume the dynamo, we also have one hell of a chance to ask an angel to help us create a new one.

So, do we think he can see us? If he can't, we should show the dynamo exploding and him dying, as we CONSUME it.

Or we attack his ass and see if that disrupts the spell.
>>
You don't have the power to protect or stop Raziel's spell. You magic would probably just bounce off him...and you doubt he'll let you get close while he's charging the spell.

You see only one possible option.

You latch yourself on to the dynamo.

Your trendrils sink deep into it. The ball of power cracks. Snaps. Erupts.

Fire roars over you...into you. Pure energy. And you feed on it...

...consume it...
...CONSUME!!!

You're filled with more power than you've ever felt before. Your strength could move mountains! You could raise cities!

Voting against any use of Void Ring right now. It seems wasteful. I don't want to annihilate stuff, I want to consume it or let it be.

Your energy moves of its own will.

But you force it under your control. It will bend...and erase this magic!

The air trembles. It warps. It shifts. It tears open!

A terrible howling wind answers your call, twisting the very fabric of the world around you and sucking it down in pieces.

Raziel's swords and spell are annihilated.

And so is the engine all around you. But without a power source, the airship would be falling anyway.

Raziel stumbles back. "What...WHAT ARE YOU?!"

As such, much of an airship's power goes toward magical shielding, and the hull of airships has to be reinforced by adamantium to withstand the pressure

The Sky-Sever - an ancient spell capable of tearing down the airship - is attacking the hull. Without the power of the engine protecting them, the crew is defenseless.

Raziel sputters up more blood from the corner. It seems he's trying to gather his power.

What do you do?

>use your power to save the ship
>CONSUME the angel

Hey guys. How about we tell them something like "If you wanna hunt me down, then you know where to find me" and then point to the north, at the Black Lady.

This way we will act as her agent so that the Duke won't get too much angel dick on his ass AND we make them focus their efforts in attacking the invaders.

<You will have to wait for another day,> you say. <I must save these humans.>

"...you don't...kill me here...I'll hunt you down."

<Their lives are more important than yours, you pathetic creature.>

You feel your power coalesce on your back as it answers your call. Wings of darkness grow. You fly into the widening hole in the hull of the ship.

The airship is assaulted on all sides by a torrent of hurricane winds, wrapping it in a sphere of storm force. The airship itself is plummeting out of the sky, only a half minute from crashing into the earth. It reminds you of something...

...you push your power into the wind, -spinning- back the other way. It howls against you, but you will not be denied. You shove more and more force, more power into the act, using everything you have.

Slowly, the winds churn to a stop. The air is stained black with streaks of purple energy. And then it turns, back the other way.

The ship is consumed in a globe of black inky shadow. It surrounds it, holding the winds at bay. Slowly, the ship settles to the ground. A cloud of dust is hurled into the air as the ship grinds to a halt.

Your wings begin to shrivel up. The power is slipping from you. You manage to land next to the crashed vessel before it leaves you entirely.

A figure of light drifts out of the hull of the ship. Raziel's wings flap weakly, but steadily. He drifts away over the horizon. You don't have the strength to pursue him.

Crewmembers are crawling out of the wreckage. They appear mostly unharmed, aside from some bumps and bruises.

The last of the power fades...

...but something is different...

Sir Flint and Duke Vellik feel the power. Flint shivers. "By the light."

An elven woman twists and turns in her sleep. Sweat rolls down her face. Concerned attendents rush to her side.

A Spirit yearns for release. A Keystone's calls go unheard. The earth ignores all, mad with rage.

A lich-king thumbs a crystal ball and considers how to bend the new energy to his whim...

An angel looks up from a portal. "...even you must feel this."

"It is beginning," says a voice from the portal. "This time...we will not fail."

A young girl feels the power of darkness tremble. "What's that?"

"...trouble," an old lich says.

Wait a tick. We gained 100 xp for eating a ball (which is immediately taken from us), but none for ripping the face off of an angel 10x more powerful than us? Or punching a hole throug his chest? Or any other myriad awesome thigs we did in this encounter?

No net gain of XP at all?

*Thread

>>24395350
Great thread. Have a nice day or night.

Let's discuss what to buy for 7 exp while everyone is here.

Most important upgrade right now appears to be regeneration. It let's us regenerate health without needing to consume giant amounts of stuff.

I also think some kind of resistance might be useful. We will continue to fight mages, reducing what damage they can do seems prudent.

For the last two exp I think shadow walk would be the best upgrade. We are hella fast, being able to move while hiding would greatly improve our fighting prowess against mundane and low magical foes.

tl;dr
Regeneration for independence from large amounts of food.
Elemental resistance to better fight all magical foes.
Shadow walk for utility and to better fight all foes up to low magical power.
>>
>>24395576
I suggest that we only buy the Elemental resistances only before we fight a mage of that element.

It would be a waste to buy Wind Resist if the next mage we are gonna face is going to use fire magic.

But I do agree that regeneration is good. Maybe we should get the next ability it unlocks too if its a healing type ability too.
>>
>>24395576
i say regeneration, shadow walk, and lets go ahead and do snuff and shade to unlock the next teir
>>
Regeneration is too slow in battle and requires us to be in shadow.
It is better to get upgrades that prevent us from being injured. And we can heal from consuming regular foods or dumb animals.
Although it might unlock superior regeneration....

We could also get more perceptions to track down our lich and abigail.

I agree that buying resistance is pointless until its used, instead we would be better served keeping 2 XP to buy it as needed.
Also note that we get more XP if we consume something of which we are resistant to.
>>
>>24395576
I suggested that before and Shadow Master explained that shadow walk isn't perfect. We can't run at top speed while shadow walking. It will help us sneak, yes.
But if we want to maintain stealth we have to do so slowly.
>>
>>24395576
I'm thinking Regeneration, Shadow Assault, and Shadow walk.

I say Shadow Assault because we haven't really opened up that area yet and this is as good good of a point as any to start.
>>
>>24395707
>>24395666
>>24395624
>>24395576
Since we all want Regeneration, can we wait until we see what it unlocks? It might be a stronger healing ability that we need badly even more so than Shadow walk or Resistances.
>>
>>24395765
Sounds good to me.

>>24395695
Good to know, its still very good but replicate might be better in that case.
>>
>>24395765
Actually I voted against regen, but you counted me for it.
>>
>>24395765
That I can agree with.
>>24395791
Okay, I might like getting replicate as it would open up all kinds of choices for us.
>>
>>24395798
Still enough people for it. I know it will not help you within a battle, but that is not what I wanted it for. I wanted the ability to recuperate between battles without needing external help or attracting attention to ourself by feeding on large amounts of creatures. And without needlessly increasing our Temerity.

Besides as you said yourself, it might lead to better healing.
>>
>>24395855
We can heal from eating mundane food... just in large amounts. It doesn't have to be creatures.
But I guess I can live with it.

Also, temerity is not bad. Its like renegade points. It improves your ability to intimidate, might make people distrust you... and it will never cause us to lose control of our actions.
Shadow Master was explicit about hat when asked.
>>
Considering how awesomely powerful magics are, perhaps we should get shadow assault?
>>
>>24395870
Feeding on large amounts of food will be even more obvious given that we need far more of that because of the low yield.

I know temerity is not bat per se. It does, however, change us in a way that I would like to combine with an at least equal growth in humanity. I'm fine with eating creatures, even large amounts of them if the situation calls for them, but I don't want to be forced to increase that one stat just because we are in the wilderness and low on health.
>>
>>24395947
Fair enough.
So... if regeneration does NOT unlock something that we specifically, want would we spend the remaining 4 on?
I am thinking shadow assault or centipede.
>>
>>24395961
Centipede could be nice, it would lead to Supersonic.
>>
>>24395961
Both are nice. In fact pretty much all our upgrades are very nice. The only ones I don't want are the poison ones. Just another thing I like about this quest: All upgrades are useful.
>>
>>24395976
yea, that would be awesome since supersonic is literal and the speed of sound is:
343.2 metre per second (1,126 ft/s). This is 1,236 kilometres per hour (768 mph),

centepede also gives a bonus to Dodge, stealth, and accuracy.
>>
>>24396000
>>24395976
Yeah, we could use it to fast travel to Abigal.
