Sure, why not you thought, after all she looked pretty sleepy herself and was unlikely to cause trouble. Plus, she just looked adorable, standing there in a nightie, blinking sleepily, you’re not so cold-hearted that you could turn her away. Your bed is a kingsize one, plenty of room for two without any touching.

Her Royal Highness snores. As in, sawing wood, drilling holes in things snoring.

You began to regret your decision to offer her a place in your bed. Still, lying on your front with your wings stretched out, and a pillow wrapped around your eyes you managed to drift off.

You woke to the sound of knocking on glass.

Looking blearily around, you spotted Jal perched on your windowsill, what now? She was in a dressing gown and was wearing her shoes. She looks like she was freezing to death out there.

You opened the window, intending to inquire what she was doing climbing around the outside of the building in the dead of night. Before you could ask her anything she slipped past you and removed her shoes and nightgown, revealing that she prefers to sleep only in her underwear, and then climbed into your bed alongside Sofia, pulling the covers over her head.

“Ah, Jal, you asked, exactly what are you doing in my bed?” you ask.

“Getting warm” came the muffled reply.

“And you couldn’t do this in your own bed?” you ask.

“Your evil twin kept wanting to keep me company” complained Jal, her head still under the covers, Princess Sofia snoring along beside her “So I told her you and me was Sammi and Jill but she won’t go way so I hadda escape.”

You decide to leave aside the problem of Jal claiming to be your lover for the time being “And you couldn’t just lock the door?” you ask.

>>33790011
She peeks her head above the covers “Well yeah, but I got used ta having me own ‘round me when I slept, just like I’m back with the gonophs back ‘ome ya know?”

Right, fine, whatever. You climb into bed alongside her and try to get back to sleep.

Sometime later you are woken by the *thump!* of someone falling out of bed and you hear Sofia’s voice raised in outrage “Jal you hit me with a pillow you, you, you little minx!”

There’s a sound of a soft impact followed by Jal taunting “You call tharra ‘it, tha’s no’ ‘ow yer do it yer ‘ighness, ‘ere lemma showya howta shuftie, on yer row!”

It seems Sofia must be descended from Konig, she appears incapable of backing down from a fight, even one waged with pillows.

An hour later...

You’ve finally restrained both girls with the simple but effective method of simply hugging them tightly and lying down. Due to your wings, you hate sleeping on your back, so when you wake up, not long after drifting off to sleep, both Jal and Sofia are wrapped around you, with your wings draped across them like a blanket.

You didn’t get much sleep at all. Jal and Sofia seem fine, chatting animatedly over breakfast.

Bah...morning people, you grip your coffee cup tighter and think about what to do.

Before you decide, Ellahi mentioned late last night that her doctors were visiting her this morning for a check-up. You could talk to them about her problem before making a decision of course.

As you were just sitting down for breakfast she mentioned that she would be with them for an hour or so, then she would be free.

You take your time over breakfast, enjoying the banter of your friends, despite wanting to throttle at least one of them.

>>33790027
Afterwards you go looking for Ellahi, wearing your dragon-blood disguise. She’s in her sitting room, wearing a dressing gown, with her are two older demon-blooded men. One is extremely portly and has a white beard and moustache, the other is somewhat thinner and has an enormous black moustache – he must have to go through most doors sideways to avoid that thing getting caught.

You knock politely on the partially open door, Ellahi motions you inside and introduces you to the two gentlemen “This is Doctors Hoskins” she indicates the portly one “and Venkman” she indicates the one with the impressive moustache “you can speak freely in front of them, they’re well-paid for their discretion. I’m sure you have questions, and they already know who you are.”

You relax a little and drop the disguise, neither man reacts overmuch to your angelic appearance, Dr Hoskins gives a muttered “my word” and Dr Venkmans moustache twitches.

What do you ask them?

quest starts at 3am
the sacrifices one has to make for joy

“What’s wrong with Ellahi?” you ask
Dr Venkman answers “human and demon blood was not meant to mix, sometimes, we of the blood suffer from...complications. It arises from the mixture of the four humours of humans with the humours of demons in particular the way the sanguine humour interacts with the vitriolic and ichorus ones-”

“What my esteemed colleague is trying to say” interrupts Dr Hoskins, with a fond smile at his long-winded colleague “Is that all living things have systemic defences against toxins and disease, demon-bloods have two such systems, one human, and one demonic. Normally the two work together, providing increased resistance, however, a in few of the blood, like Lady Valyenya, the two work against one another, to the detriment of the overall organism. In time, perhaps one will win, or the struggle will go on until she passes away.”

“Would rather avoid that” says Ellahi, pouring herself some wine.

“How long has she got?” you probe further

“Difficult to say” says Dr Venkman “Some patients fade quickly, others hang on for years, it could be anything between 1 and 10 years, at her current rate of decline.”

“Won’t magical healing work?” you ask

Dr Hoskins shakes his head “sadly, most forms of magical healing heal the whole of a person, including their bodily defences, magical healing will extend her time, perhaps double it, but it cannot cure her.”

“How do you think I can help cure Ellahi?” you wonder

“Your unique energies” says Dr Venkman “if directed properly, can be used to disrupt the demonic humours of her body, whilst leaving the human ones intact.”

“I could try healing her with my own powers” you counter.

Dr Venkman gives a condescending smile “How many years of medical study do you have young lady? Do you know where to direct your energies, no, leave this to the professionals, lest you do more harm than good.”

>>33790146
“What’s the risk to me?” you ask

The two doctors exchange looks for a moment
“They don’t know” says Ellahi, drinking her wine.

“Not true!” sputters Dr Venkman “We have a very good idea of what will happen, but this is untested, it is theoretical.”

“What do you anticipate will happen?” you clarify “to me”

Dr Hoskins responds “We will remove some of your vitae – your life force, this will weaken you temporarily, we will use this to cleanse Ellahi’s mind, her body, and her souls – all essential parts of the demons maleficology. The process may take several hours, after which we will return your energies to you.”

“What they’re not telling you” drawls Ellahi “Is that the last place they use your vital energies to scrub, will alter what they’re returning to you, so you have the choice of maybe looking like me, starting to think like me, or maybe getting a copy of some of my powers.”

down that route. Oh well.

>Where have you learned this technique? Has anything at least remotely similar been tried in the past, or is it pure theory?
>Tell me more about your careers, how did you guys become doctors, and why?

“What chance of success does this have?” you ask. The two doctors exchange look.

“They’ve no idea” says Ellahi.

“Not entirely true” responds Dr Hoskins “In theory it will work, but this is untried and untested, we don’t know what the chances are.”

“What side effects will Ellahi experience?” you inquire.

“She will have a pure humans vulnerability to disease and toxins” explains Dr Venkman, looking sideways at Ellahi draining her winecup and pouring herself another he adds “altering her lifestyle habits would be prudent.”

“Yeah” says Ellahi “That’ll certainly happen.”

“Look like you how?” you ask Ellahi

She puts down her wine and runs her hands down her body, twisting sinuously as she does so “wouldn’t you kill for a body like mine?”

Dr Hoskins coughs “You might possibly take on some of the more common physical characteristics of the blood: claws, sharpened teeth, a tail, or horns most likely.”


“Think like you how?” you direct your question to Ellahi

“I don’t mean to brag” she says “But I’m a lot smarter than anyone else I’ve ever met.”
“Or the young lady may simply pick up your voracious appetites” says Dr Venkman, an insincere smile on his face.

“What sort of powers do you have?” you ask Ellahi

“Well I’m a decent sorcerer” she replies “but the powers of the blood I excel at are all about getting people to do what I want them do, making deals, making them want me, or want to help me.”

None of that sounds good “What if they don’t return the corrupted vitae to me?” you try

The two doctors shoot looks back and forth before Dr Hoskins replies “Your own powers would be weakened, perhaps permanently, perhaps they would recover in time.”

Well, that’s a lot to think about.

>>33790291
“In any case” says Dr Venkman “We are not yet prepared for the operation, we need to gather more vital reagents, we will be ready in about 3 days time, you certainly have time to make a decision.”

“Where have you learned this technique? Has anything at least remotely similar been tried in the past, or is it pure theory?” you ask

Dr Venkman pulls himself up, ready to deliver a lecture on the full history of the procedure, Dr Hoskins cuts him off “The technique has been done many times before, using different donors, pure humans are the most effective. It has never been done with...anything like you before.”

“Tell me more about your careers, how did you guys become doctors, and why?” you ask

The two doctors exchange looks and shrug. Dr Hoskins answers first “I grew up in a poorer family, no one had access to medical care, so I worked as hard as I could to get a scholarship to attend medical school. I wanted to help people.”

DR Venkman gives a different answer “My father was a doctor, and his father before him, the advancement of medical science is the highest calling anyone of intellect can aspire to, for we must understand ourselves, before we can truly understand the world around us.”

The two doctors gather their things, ready to go.

Personally I'd rather not do this. Frankly I'd rather try and Heaven's Rebirth her than do what these doctors are trying. It feels like a trap option and I'm almost certain there are 'better' ways of going about it.

You can't trick me Mathrian, you just want to start making people into angels.
Also Heaven's Rebirth is 30 XP away, we aren't getting that much in three days and there are better things to buy with it anyway.

>>33790374
I'd say corruption/partial demonic energy tranfers are a negative effect. And while Pally isn't a sadist like Som or Dranule/Ygg is I'd rather not trust the somewhat backwards doctors are saying. They are clearly working with a 1800s-1900s idea of medicine.

Three days is when they are going to be ready. Not the deadline for when we must do it. Not to mention we could likely increase Ellahi's lifespan significantly with some healing.
As is shes got 1-10 years left.

You thank the doctors and they leave.

You have a number of different choices before you. You’ve discussed all these with your friends, and with Ellahi, but the choice ultimately lies with you.

[I’ve tried to order these choices into broad options as much as possible, write-ins are of course possible, as is delaying making a choice.]

What are you going to do about the Demon Lords?

>Don’t attack them directly, once the Empire begins to crumble, they’ll come to you on your terms, or flee back to the Hells.
>Do nothing about them, I’m not helping

What are you going to do about Ellahi’s requests?

>Help her with some (which?)
>Don’t help her with any

What are you going to do about the Empire of Drache?

>Once I’ve helped with the Demon Lords and/or with Ellahi’s requests (or not) I need to go back to my own plane, I’m sure to be a target for whoever tries to take over in the demon lords absence
>I’ll stay as long as I can to help
>I won’t abandon this world until it is free

[None of this is route-lock, you can do things in certain orders, and even saying you’re going back to your own plane doesn’t stop you from visiting this one in future to help with specific tasks.

From last thread

Autism Anon
I’ve edited the rules and character sheet, I had trouble puzzling out what you meant regarding the formatting rules, so please check the powers again and post at the end of thread about any suggested improvements.

I went for [PURCHASED] as it enables me to copy/paste from the word doc I use as the master copy of the rules rather than having to edit 2 copies (pastebin and word).

Lightning Core event Will bonus added separately, purchasing Will cost uses base Will, with no modifiers.

Angels Lantern
Vulnerable to magical damage only
Low HP but high defence, can be dispelled
Regular action to summon but long duration (if purchased, one planned expansion is rapid summoning)
Defence boost is +2/level

I look forward to seeing the google docs, if it helps I can email you my own notes on past threads.

Shorty
I get what you’re saying, Sireyi’s Mary Sue ranking is pretty high. There is (possibly) an event coming up that may alter her appearance.

As for law and strip-dancing:
As a paladin-cadet Sireyi studied law like any cadet, she’s far from being able to practise law, or be a cop, but she can (with an intelligence check) recall obscure facts relevant to the situation at hand.
Sireyi has no real training in dancing, or stripping, she is at best a talented amateur in this area. I intentionally make her out to be better than she is for comedic purposes. Her only real advantages in this area are her physical beauty and her exotic appearance.

>I'll need to think some more about this.

I think we should do it unless we come up with a better idea before the doctors get ready. For being raised and living where she was, even having demonic blood, this sister looks pretty damn good; and it could be argued there was an obligation to save everyone even if she wasn't.

At any rate, the Mystery Box works as an accumulator, right? Could it be used to store corrupted vitae? Would such use corrupt or damage the device? Or could we otherwise use it to deal with the corrupted vitae?

>>33790308
if the procedure has been done many time with human donors successfully, why take the risk of using me as a donor instead?

Also, we should mention to her that we might have an alternative to that. namely angelification

>>33790421
>What are you going to do about the Demon Lords?

>What are you going to do about Ellahi’s requests?
for the sorcerer enemy, help take him out.
for the guy with gambling, try to seduce him into losing money without actually putting out.
for the guy whose wife's fate was eaten, either avoid or try to convince him seek revenge against the demons who did this to him (the rulers). under no circumstance are we to deal with such a major demon.
for the cure, explain about the angelification method.

>>33790432
>if the procedure has been done many time with human donors successfully, why take the risk of using me as a donor instead?
>What is the benefit of specifically using me over a human donor.

Good point, I'm answering this despite the doctors having gone, as I forgot to include it in the official answer.

"Human donors only extend the patients life" replies Dr Hoskins "We believe using you as a donor will provide a true cure."

Should we start with the fate eater, or with the sorcerous assasin? I'd probably start with the assassin. We should read up a bit on fate eaters to figure out how to deal with it. I'm not thrilled about giving that thing memories/fates/whatever it is it eats for breakfast, but we need that wife back.

>>33790471

So yeah. I think we should tinker with the Box a bit, and perhaps ask sis if she has anything in library relating to it

>>33790481
>Should we start with the fate eater
we should not in any way interact with the fate eater, we should interact with the politician whose wife was eaten instead.

>>33790481
As long as we aren't on too big of a time crunch I think the sorcerous assassin.


>>33790502
I'm in agreement. It definitely seems like it will boost our powers, especially our will. Which is a requirement IF we even want to be able to use Heaven's Rebirth.

>>33790502
for the box, we should go hunting for a storm and then trap it in the box. now that we have completely figured it out that should be perfectly safe!

>>33790502
While I agree that we should learn more about the core, it's not really relevant to the situation.
We either need to make our peace with being weaker, accept whatever possibility of a minor change the corrupted vitae might provoke or find another way altogether.

>>33790514
No, it's not.
Our hypothetical maximum willpower is now high enough to use it, since Lightning Halo's +10 is factored into it.

Personally, I don't want to use it in the first place, there are much better uses for our XP, like getting L4 sorc so we can get the spell to go home.

Stop with the Host-Lust, Mathrian, it's getting a little obnoxious.

I have an idea.
What if, instead of doing the heaven's rebirth thing ourselves, we pray to our goddess and ask if there is something she could do to heal this problem once we bring down the barrier?
Surely she has an angel who can cure this properly that we could summon once the barrier goes down

>>33790291
>but the powers of the blood I excel at are all about getting people to do what I want them do, making deals, making them want me, or want to help me
you know, at first i was strongly again this... but having some demon power mixed in with our angel powers sounds beneficial.
for one thing, it could help us blend a lot better in this world. For another, all her powers are about diplomacy boosts which we are awesome in

>>33790586
oh, or a lord helix!

So I’m seeing

Just looked that over. Well tits. Guess I'm wrong. Thanks for letting me know.

>Stop with the Host-Lust, Mathrian, it's getting a little obnoxious.
I swear its not about Host-Lust. Its just a useful tool and I really prefer to take the most optimal path. ie: Not getting defiled by demon blood.

>>33790635
>Talk to Ellahi about Angel-transformation
>Tell Ellahi you’ll help with her tasks, then ask her about that book on planar travel she mentioned

She might be opposed to the idea, we should really read that book soon and we'll need something to do while travelling.

It is an extremely useful tool, I agree.
Had we turtled in storm nation, we could have used it to recruit as we travel and raised a host of half angel paladins within the protection of the storm.

Yeah, this might be an alternative as well. Once the world is opened to the gods, they might start wielding their power and fix shit that's over our heads. Perhaps including that fate-eater demon, although that one give impression he'd just flee to hell, taking his devoured souls with him.

>>33790798
>although that one give impression he'd just flee to hell, taking his devoured souls with him.
the problem dealing with him is that he is currently IN hell. he is just sotra kinda projecting himself partially into this dimension too.

And this is now how I imagine he'll look

You spend some time alone, praying to Velya, after an hour or so, you hear her voice, somewhat faintly.

“Yes my child?” she asks.

You explain about Ellahi and ask if Velya or one of the other gods can help her.

“We can” she says, the simplest method would be to turn her into a human.”

“Not a half-angel?” you ask hopefully.

Velya replies “The gift of such a transformation is never given lightly, many require such an individual to prove their commitment before even considering it. Some require years of testing before they would do such a thing.”

“And you, My Lady?” you ask hopefully.

“I would consider it” is all the answer she gives.

Honestly, I don't really give a damn about whether or not angels may or may not hate our guts. Besides, unless I'm missing something, we've never had anything to indicate in or out of character that theres a ton of, or any, angels who have a problem with us. Also fuck the damn god of beggars.

>>33790844
>While I agree with Autism Anon
Am I truly that obvious?
Either way, that's about the same as my priority list, except with less time-consuming tasks such as inquiring about our sister's opinion on transformation and investigating planar travel higher up.
We can probably read a copy of the book on dimensional magic on the way to the sorcerer's.

>>33790873
If we find a non-angelic transformation option, I'd prefer that.
Otherwise, angel trans unless there are extenuating circumstances. (i.e. our sister doesn't want it or her health takes a sudden turn for the worse before we have the ability)

Works for me.

“What can you tell me about Hanadrirac, the Fate Eater?” you ask.

“Oh” she says, a note of distaste in her voice “that one.”

“Hanandrirac is a very powerful demon, easily able to carve out a large domain in the Hells, though so far he hasn’t done so. He can swallow a part of a person’s future or past – meaning that events they took part in never occurred, or that a chance to take a particular future path is either impossible, or so horribly corrupted that choosing such an option would result in everything you do failing.”

“Is it possible to deal with him at all?” you ask

“Possible? Yes” she replies “but very risky, the Lords of Hell require all demons of a certain power – which Hanandrirac is – to swear an oath upon their names that they will never break a bargain they make, ever. This is usually followed by the demon being forced into a bargain by the Lord whose domain they occupy regarding defending the domain, and not betraying the Demon Lord.”

“Hanandrirac would not simply kill you were you to enter his lair, as doing so may disrupt whatever plans the Demon Lords have for you. He is likewise unlikely to capture you, as this could also disrupt their plans. He will instead attempt to ensnare you into an unfavourable bargain that leaves you beholden to him, or eat a part of your fate for his enjoyment – removing events in your past or prevent you from taking certain paths in the future.”

“He may simply refuse to see you, or expel you if you irritate him.”

>That’s everything
>Ask other questions (what?)

I still don't see why people want to vote on how to heal Ellahi now. It's literally years until it matters. Given our current rate of progression I estimate we will have enough exp to dispell the barrier and enough power to enact any plans regarding the demon lords within very few months. And after that we can come back at any time we want.

I wonder what else than a fate a demon like that might want. Although making bargains with demon lords is not very paladinlike at all.

>>33791015
>Has she been able to learn why the god of beggers hates us so? (I can't remember the gods name)
Wasn't it a follower of his who stole the horn? I thought the beggar-god just hated König for some reason.

>Is a fate recoverable in any other way than the demon giving it up voluntarily?

>Can we protect our fate in some way?

No dealing with Hanandrirac, and no entering Hanandrirac's domain then.

>>33791003
Except nobody wants to vote on it right now?
We're just discussing it.
Medical complications are a thing that happens all the time, just because the ailment is magical doesn't mean we shouldn't be prepared.

>>33791015
His name was Kilran.

>>33791039
He seemed to hate us in particular.
He might also hate Konig, but he gave us a magical stroke when we went near his shrine.
It was definitely a follower of Kilran, due to the thief trying to call upon Kilran's aid against the werewolves. Unsuccessfully.

“Do any of the host of heaven hold ill will towards me?” You ask

“Not that I know of” replies Velya “Why would they?”

“Why does Kilran hate me?” you ask

“Ah yes” she says “he had one of his followers steal the Horn, something to do with a feud with Konig, though not all the details are clear, he is currently being dealt with.”

“What can you tell me about my mother?” you ask.

Her answer is a while in coming, her voice getting fainter “That is a long story, and I fear we do not have the time.”

Ok, time for one last question “Is a fate recoverable in any other way than the demon giving it up voluntarily?”

You can just hear Velya before her voice disappears “Only by killing him, or having a greater power force him to give it up.” And then she is gone.

You return turn to Ellahi, now on her third cup of wine.

“What the doctors said might not be the only options” you say.

“Oh?” she replies.

“I may be able to transform you from a demon-blood into an angel-blood” you explain.

She raises her eyebrows “Really, you can do that?”

“Well, not yet” you say “But I believe it’s a power I may one day learn.”

She waves dismissively “Well, when *one day* happens, I’ll consider it then.”

that would mean bargaining with a demon lord, which is a no-go, or turning him to our side, which seems about as likely as... hm, can't think of anything similarly absurd actually.
I wonder how the oaths that might bind Hanandrirac work in relation to inheritace. Would he be compelled to obey Ruler's daughter if the Ruler got killed?

“Angel isn’t your only choice” you say “You could also become human.”

Her eyes widen and her wine almost falls from her hand “Be human?” she says “are you crazy?! I’m not becoming a human!”

“I thought you wanted equality for everyone” you say

“I do!” she insists “But I’m not becoming a human, I’d be giving up all my powers, you might as well suggest I be transformed into a little girl: what sort of person would want that?”

Ok....

“I’ve decided” you say “to help you with your problems, is my word enough that you will let me look at that book on dimensional travel?”

She looks at you considering, before going over to a cabinet and removing a locked box, with a few arcane whispers the box springs open and she takes out a thick book and hands it to you.

“I’ll want this back when you’re finished” she says.

“Thank you” you reply “Your trust isn’t misplaced”

>>33791201
Hanandrirac is just a giant trap option, nothing good can come from trying to interact with him in any way.
Can't even kill him properly, since he only half-exists on this plane.

No. Blow it out your horn.

I guess we could agree that dealing with Hanny demon is best left for after we've punctured the barrier.

Ok, you decide to fiddle with your box.

Last time you discovered that the box is current *off* or powered down, meaning its just a chunk of metal.

You can, at will, turn it *on* activating it.

Currently the box is in Wild Magic mode - meaning nearby arcane magic is more likely to go wrong. You can shift the boxes conformation around to turn this off and/or activate other powers.

So, what do you do first?
>Turn off wild magic and test it
>Try to discover other powers it has

And where?
>In my room

You take a steam carriage to the city limits then start walking. You walk for a long time, you wish you could fly, but even this far from the city it’s probably not a good idea.

Finally, mid-afternoon you find an empty field, with not a soul in sight.

Twisting and turning the box, you turn off the wild magic (or so you think) and power it up.

Arcane energy explodes from the box and lashes the area around you...

...and nothing visible happens.

You twist the box into another confirmation, trying to understand its powers and then activate it.

Arcane energy explodes from the box and lashes the area around you...

You know, I was going to suggest we upgrade our dragon form to look like we have more dragon blood in us than we do.
And we totally should!, but then I remembered it only costs 1XP to learn arcane teleport spell (0.5 if we were to first get eladrin 3, but that costs 12 AXP)

You hold the box high above your head and lighting flashes down from the storm, hitting it.

Again and again the lightning comes crashing down, pouring into the box, but you don’t feel any pain...only power.

Bending your will to the task you force the storm into the box, the swirling clouds and rain and lightning all being drawn down into the tiny cube in your hands. When it is over the box feels warm and when you touch it you feel a tingle. It was only a small storm, but sufficient for your purposes.

Of course, someone may come to investigate. You spend the next hour hiking to another deserted location. Your clothes have dried off somewhat, and instead of being soaked, you are merely damp.

You don’t spot anyone coming to investigate the sudden appearance and then disappearance of a storm.

You decide to try unlocking a new power of the box.

You try another conformation of the Lightning Core, and power it up. Nothing happens.

Except you can hear dripping water, and you’re dry.

You hold the box up to your ear and you can hear water dripping down regularly, lots of droplets, and a weird echoing quality, like you’re in a cave.

You tap the box experimentally: the noise of your tapping comes back to you, like one of those speaking tubes they use around here, but again with that strange echo. You think you’ve tapped into some sort of communication device.

Yes, yes you do

You cast your scrying spell (AE 32/34) and bend your will to seeing what’s connected to your Lightning Core.

And all you see is...your Lightning Core. That’s disappointing.

No, wait, this Core you’re seeing is filthy, covered in muck and sticking partway out of a stalagmite, as the vision expands you see a dark cave, within it are rusted and corroded suits of armour, only the metal parts of the armour remain, all the leather and clothes have rotted away, as have the wearers of the armour – even the bones.

The armours too badly rusted to see any identifying seals, or even get a good idea for the style of the armour.

You’re seeing a second Lightning Core....somewhere. You look around and the cave is empty except for a few small streams created by the dripping water and lots of stalactites and stalagmites. Whatever happened here was hundreds of years ago.

Still, you managed to get a very clear vision of the place, teleporting there wouldn’t be a problem – as long as it was in range. Being underground, you couldn’t ride the lightning there.

You try another option on the cube. Lightning bursts from the box, hitting you in the middle of the forehead, knocking you over backwards.

You come round a few seconds later, with a horrible headache. And in your mind you see....how to build the stormwings the pirates where using.

You don’t yet have the ability to make magical items, but if you ever learned how to, you could make stormwings.

Seems the Cores were also used to store knowledge, as well as power. But that’s a painful way to learn.

What is the name of the lightening god in our world? maybe he was the same one as the one from this world, we could try praying for him for guidance. Maybe if we collect all the boxes (which we can do via combining box linkage, scry, and teleport) we could make a super weapon out of them. Or supremely empower ourselves in combat.

Also, I got an idea for refining our plan a bit:
Step 1: retake the storm nation
Step 2: bring down dimensional barrier
Step 3: Use horn to assassinate the administrator archdemon (preferably lure him out using his daughter first)
Step 4: Immediately teleport and hide in storm nation for the 24 hours for the horn heroes to recover. If the warrior archdemon comes for us during this period of vulnerability, his armies will break on the magical storm. Worse come to worse, we teleport escape to our own world to recover and then back to this one to take him out.
Step 5: Once horn heroes recovered, use them to take out warrior archdemon.

The rebels will seize the capital probably, rest of world will balkanize. There would still be a lot of work to do in this world. but things would finally start improving.

Another lightning bolt hits you in the head, even though you’re prepared for it, it still hurts.

You see...history. The civilisation the built these Cores existed long before the Drache Empire, they knew how to channel both arcane and divine magics using metal-working and architecture. At one time they dominated most of this plane.

For thousands of years all lived under their rule, they had an oppressive caste system, ruled by those with the strongest magic, and they regularly made sacrifices of intelligent beings to their gods.

Some of the powers they use seem....strange, elemental powers you’ve never seen before, the chosen of the gods drawing upon the four familiar elements, as well as the power of the sun, moon and stars. They used their powers to enhance their physical and mental prowess and channelled magic through combat styles and martial arts forms.

Their architecture regulated magical and natural energy flows across the empire, accumulating it and shaping it to their purposes.

But internal rot set in and the empire declined, by the time the Empire of Drache was rising, only a few outposts remained, and they were easily swept away.

But they never planned small. Before they were wiping out, the highest caste, the priests, devised a plan to turn the Elemental Collection Nodes of the Storm Dragon He Who Reigns Above the World into weapons capable of killing the Demon Lords invading this plane, but you...can’t...quite...see....the plans.

>Try another power
>Connect to other Elemental Collection Nodes
>Learn more knowledge from this thing

Your headache is pretty intense, you could maybe withstand one more jolt of knowledge before the pain is overwhelming, or you could heal yourself using your paladin abilities.

>>33791957
>what would change from just not reabsorbing the essence if we throw it in the box?

Having us be conscious when retaking the essence might allow us to direct how we want to take it back, it might allow us to take it in small doses, it might allow us to purify the essence with divine power now or later, it might also be perhaps manipulated or utilized by the box itself.

But yeah, I'm not very favourable towards risking the artifact unless we find out more.

Using Ellahi to draw out the Ruler wouldn't work, he knows she plots against him and won't walk into an obvious trap.

It doesn't alter who we truly are, it's a temporary guise, a polymorph.
You don't call a wizard a half-umber hulk just because he turns into one.

There's a difference, the first is something we take on, like a mask, not an alteration of the self.
The second is predominated by angelic abilities and considered part of them.

>>33792181

We are actually part dragon after being bonded with Ebby, there's nothing temporary about that.

>>33792181
>Do you not understand how the ability works?
>It doesn't alter who we truly are, it's a temporary guise, a polymorph.
Bonding to a dragon familiar has magically transformed us to be part dragon just as if we were born from one. (well, except the part we don't have a dragon parent)

>>33792208
>>33792215
Where are you seeing this?
From the fact we've been described as part-dragon?
That's an active ability, not a permanent alteration.

>>33792181
>Her powers are geared towards mind control or suggestion, not diplomacy.
SOME of her powers are
she also possess amazing "people reading" skill, persuasiveness, and seductiveness.
For the last one, we can "seduce" without putting out, aka, being a virgin tease. which is useful in various situations. but even without it, she does have a talent for persuasion and for discerning people's desires.

>Demon-tainting is the same as dragon-tainting.
Difference being that the dragon powers were strictly an add-on. We didn't have to weaken our other powers by that. In the case of demon-taint we would take out a part of our angel power and then change that.

Another concern is that the whole point of this exercise is to help someone her because her demon-powers fight her human health. I cannot imagine those same powers working very well with our human powers, not to mention our Angel blood.

At most we would gain versatility at the cost of some of our divine powers. At worst we would weaken ourselves permanently. In-universe at least that seem to be reasonable expectations. Not to mention that being tainted by demon-energies could screw with our whole purity shtick.

This. I don't get why the fuck anons are so eager to throw that the fuck away. Being 'part dragon' isn't a taint. The dragonling is neutral and will grow up based upon we raise it. Trading part of our angel powers for demon powers is just... a terrible idea OOC and would pretty damn weird for Sireyi to accept, so I'm of the opinion its OOC for her to do it period.

>Difference being that the dragon powers were strictly an add-on. We didn't have to weaken our other powers by that. In the case of demon-taint we would take out a part of our angel power and then change that.

She doesn't want to have a kid, when we asked her about it she said that she didn't want to have a kid that would be manipulated or born into a loveless marriage, not just because of assassins.

Yeah, I see that, that doesn't mean it'd work or that they're all intact, assuming that Collection Nodes and Lightning Cores are the same thing.

They ARE though. Their protection goes out the moment sophie dies, she is the last of the line. and she predicted that if she get preggers she dies. so either way the power goes out.

Yes it is, we will be immediately hunted down by major demons, a demon lord, his seers, and be most wanted of a 5 million person army which includes powerful mages.

The island is unnecessary, it's also nowhere near impenetrable and we could hide just as efficiently by teleporting somewhere far away and hidden and then casting a spell to hide ourselves from scrying.

Her prediction was pretty much invalidated the moment she stepped out of the island, and could be rendered harmless entirely if she took some paladin classes in poison immunity.

Dealing with the entrapped demon lord is another thing to do when the barrier is gone anyway.

>>33792408
>and whomever notices it can probably track us,
Probably. Still, this should a) help us against people who have sensed something from within the city and take some time to catch up to our spot. b) Give us a better chance at spotting people because it's easier to find someone who is moving behind you than someone who has already found a good hiding spot and can just stay there quietly. I don't expect it to be terribly effective, but it's better than not doing it.
>we move VERY slowly since we are basically walking
Actually, why are we walking? It's not like flying uses magic.


>Learn more knowledge from this thing

Either of those. Knowledge is delicious.

>>33792457
Because flying requires wings.
Wings which we do not have while under the effects of Aspect of the Dragon 1.
Flying as an Angel is far too risky.

You spend another hour hiking to somewhere else remote. It’s going to get dark soon, you have a chance for maybe one more try with the lightning box today, and then you need to go back.

You try another option from your Elemental Node. As you power it up you feel yourself sinking into the earth.

No wait, your body isn’t sinking, your mind is...merging with the natural magical energy of these place. You can feel how everything is connected, the grass, the trees, the sky, and the worms crawling in the earth underneath you.

And you can feel the scar upon the landscape that is the nearby city of Arrowgate. You can feel harsh lines of power radiating out from it, feeding on the land, and....you can see one connected to the box in your hand, and another connected to you.

Someone is scrying on you.

This deep the magical energy flows, you can maybe do something about it.

We are going to be having the most powerful oracles in the world scrying for us. and most powerful demons hunting us. those spells are not perfect

>They aren't doomed, there's no such thing as doom, we can save them by fixing the world and the fact that you won't even try sickens me to my core.
Stop it with your stupid accusations and strawmen
I am trying to save them, not sacrifice them.
You are the one who has decided that the island impenetrable defenses, which we will be boosting, will fall. A completely ridiculous and baseless notion.
I came up with a plan to save them from an otherwise surefire destruction. and please note that its not JUST about saving that one island, we need to destroy a 5 million demon army.
What better way than to make them crash against the most powerful and lethal magical defense in the entire dimension, after boosting it with artifacts, and then calling the horn heroes to further boost the defense and break the army of the empire

time dilation between dimensions.
if we kill one demon, the empire infighting is over and its armies will once again act with purpose. due to the time dilation by the time we recharge the horn and return the demon could have wiped out the island (a logical place for him to look for us)

Also, when I said buy time I didn't think a single islander would be killed. or that the island will FALL after the 24 hours, I said that the island's defenses will NOT be breached in a mere 24 hours, giving us time to reuse the horn and win

>>33792558

Query: Do we estimate that this will block only the current spell (as in, they can just recast it in a minute) or is this a more permanent "Scry spells don't work anymore"?

If it's the first, finding out who is doing the scrying is more useful (might even be our sister). If it's the second, blocking scry spells would be neat.

>>33792457
>Probably. Still, this should a) help us against people who have sensed something from within the city and take some time to catch up to our spot
no, it doesn't it does the OPPOSITE of help us

-We cast healing
-detected by demon
-demon is 2 hours of flight away
-walk 30 minutes to a different spot in forest, the equivalent of 5 minutes of flight, demon is now 1 hour and 35 minutes away
by walking around in a snail pace through a forest we are wasting time that gives time for people to catch up with us. every time we relocate we waste more time and give them more time to close in...

on the other hand, if we just do it in one spot and then leave when done, they will arrive to find us long gone

Using your example that is not what would happen
-detected by demon
-demon is 2 hours away
-continue using powers
-demon arrives, knows exactly where we are
-currently downloading information per lightning
-demon kills us while we are distracted.

>>33792618
oh, yes obviously

for that i think we basically would want to, once the barrier falls, bring some priests over from our dimension to consecrate the flame room as a temple and let konnig kill the thing himself. (surely he can since he is the source of the eternal flame)

You follow the lines of energy back to their source and you see its not coming from the city, its coming from...only a few miles away from you.

A detachment of 50 of the Crimson Guard are approaching. With them are a half-dozen sorcerers: 2 of whom are scrying on you, sat in the back of a wagon. They are accompanied by two 10ft-tall suits of animated armour, hellish fire can be seen in the gaps in the armour. They are led by a large pure demon with three faces.

Examining the energy flows you realise that the entire area around the city has wards set up to detect divine magic, when you cured your headache, you tipped them off. The only reason they haven’t found you yet is they first checked out your last location, and with 50 guards, they don’t move so fast

You can disrupt their scrying spell on you, but as soon as you do so, they’ll know something is wrong and speed up.

Also, they’re scrying for the box, as long as it is active, they can follow it, if it powers down, they’ll lose it.

Scrying spells
>Disrupt Scrying now, then power down box
>Wait, as long as you have the box active, you can track them.

Other actions
>Hide whilst they search, wait for them to get bored and leave
>Try and sneak past them
>Bluff your way past them
>Other

Using magic whilst they’re actively looking for you is possible, but will likely lead them to you.

Disrupting the scrying using the box blocks all scry spells in the area for several hours, by scrambling the local magic flows (but has no Perils of the Arcane implications).

>>33792562
First of all, don't try and turn this around and make it look like *I'm* the guy that used them being doomed as an argument, because that's you.

Second, their defenses *would* fall, they've been weakened by Sofia's absence and unless we execute this plan in about a month, she'd need to bear a kid to re-strengthen them.
I'm not going to force the girl to do something she's made it pretty clear she doesn't want to do.
Aside from that, they've never faced a demon lord other than the Sorcerer, who surpassed the defenses when they were at full strength and was then narrowly defeated by Sofia's extended family, now all dead.

Time dilation is a thing, but who says we have to go to a dimension where that doesn't work in our favor?
There are better alternatives, you're just unwilling to admit that your plan needs work.
We could prepare a extremely well-warded safehouse in advance, for example.
Scrying is really a hit-or-miss kind of thing, based on past experiences.

>>33792652
You are assuming it takes 2 hours to download info by lightening and that the demon is 2 hours away.
Even if we go with that, walking around still gets us caught.

What we did was:
-download info 30 minutes
-demon is 2 hours away
-walk for an hour (10 minutes flight)
-demon is 1 hour and 10 minutes away
-download info 30 minutes
-demon is 40 minutes away
-walk for an hour
-demon reached our last known location, been there for 20 minutes, is 10 minutes away from us.
-download info 30 minutes
-demon catches us 10 minutes into it
-walk for an hour
-download info 30 minutes
-walk for an hour

Obviously there was no demon.

The extra 1 hour walks in between (how long we actually walked) was adding up a lot of wasted time that didn't help us at all

>>33792684

Can they track us if we teleport away with RTL? If not, disrupt scrying, disable the box and teleport to somewhere else.

If yes, disrupt and disable anyway, and fly away in natural form.

>>33792745
The wards all of this place will easily detect Ride the Lightning, including the destination.

They will also detect and track any angel-blooded not covered by a spell (as you currently are, looking like a dragon-blood).

Well bugger.

Too bad there's no way to figuring out their power level, but I doubt we could easily take them out (if at all).

They have seen our face, which could mean a lot of grief for our sister once they track us down to her.

We're in pretty shitty situation out there alone... are there spells that could keep us from teleporting away in case we tried diplomacy and failed?

>>33792785

her presence is irrelevant to the defenses might, the plan explicitly calls for her to be back there, and for it to be augmented with artifacts

>I'm not going to force the girl to do something she's made it pretty clear she doesn't want to do.
How in the fucking flying fuck did you get this shit from "seduce her and knock her up ourselves"
which, incidentally, was a half joke. But even if 100% serious it wasn't its not "force her to do something she doesn't want to" because she is very clearly into us

>Aside from that, they've never faced a demon lord other than the Sorcerer, who surpassed the defenses when they were at full strength and was then narrowly defeated by Sofia's extended family, now all dead.
they won't be facing the demons, the demons will be taking their time to amass an army on the shore, and then the army will be crashing into the storm, which we augment, with artifacts of sentimentalism and with the horn heroes.

>Time dilation is a thing, but who says we have to go to a dimension where that doesn't work in our favor?
the only other dimension we know is our own and its not in our favor, however if we find another dimension that works in our favor and recharges the horn faster, then it would be a viable tactic.

>We could prepare a extremely well-warded safehouse in advance, for example.
aka storm island.
And no, we can't prepare a safehouse that will withstand the archdemon and a massive contingent of soldiers

>Scrying is really a hit-or-miss kind of thing, based on past experiences.
and we would have the most powerful scryers in the dimension after our ass. Also, we can cast nondetection spells in the storm island too. meaning that if the scrying blocks work they won't know we are there, if they fail...

Before long, you see the patrol – before they see you. The soldiers are spread out, searching through the undergrowth and looking everywhere.
The giant suits of armour are strolling along without looking at anything.

The demon in charge is arguing with the sorcerers, though you can’t hear what about.
He’s walking alongside the wagon the sorcerers are sat in, bellowing at them and calling them useless.

Okay, first, by 'don't turn this around' I meant the fact that you were the one who was calling them doomed and then tried to make me look like the bad guy.
I also note that you didn't refute my statement of you calling them doomed as part of your previous argument.

Her being back there is time-sensitive unless she has a kid, and the time limit is too short; the fact that you didn't notice this combined with the next point makes me think you're the one magical realm guy from thread 9 that everyone hated.

The third thing is so fucking magical realm, I don't even know if I need to refute it, but I will.
She isn't into us, she doesn't even get how two girls could like each other in that way and stated that she *would* be into us if we were a man.
We do not have a way to change gender and if you are seriously basing your plan around that I doubt anyone will go along with it, since it would involve having to be in a long-term relationship with Sofia to raise our child, and probably stay a man during that time as a father figure.
Aside from all that, I don't think Sireyi is really into her, and I doubt she'd be willing to change genders for a long time period about it.
Also 2magicalrealm.

Now, this point is hilarious, since it defeats your own argument.
If we have the horn of heroes recharged, why do we need to hide on the Island?
Don't say 'we have to defeat the army!' either, because there isn't one army, there are 5 million trained soldiers spread across three continents, as in, most of the world, not one cohesive army.

It doesn't have to resist the Demon Lord and his armies, since they wouldn't be able to find us, presumably.

Honestly, being tracked isn't even a worry, since you seem to have conveniently ignored our core's new found ability to cockblock any and all scrying attempts.

You take the widest path around them you can, sneaking and staying quiet. Eventually they are far behind you in the distance.

You move as fast as you can back to the city, though it’s long after dark.

Eventually, you reach the outskirts of the city, it’s night time.

You have plenty of money and could hire a steam carriage back to Ellahi’s, or you could walk the streets of an unfriendly city alone at night.

Danger isn’t that much of a concern, but the steam carriage driver could be on the lookout for suspicious late-night customers, and the beggars and street urchins could be watching for you.

Calm down guys. None of this is an issue at hand. Maybe it will resolve itself as we carry out our other business - perhaps the princess will meet a nice resistance gentleman while we're investingating stuff or some such.

You are the bad guy, you are using strawmen to hurl personal attacks at me for trying to save them
And they ARE doomed.
The gods themselves declared this world doomed. The giant prophet guy forsaw that their clan will be eliminated. And without our intervention the only defense the storm island had would have fallen, and can still fall at any moment (moment sophie uses her powers, incidentally, we need to remind her that the demons can detect those)
Also, you were the one who was saying that in case of a demon attack, they will be doomed.

>Her being back there is time-sensitive
no it isn't
And you continually ignore the "boost the storm with the elemental nodes that are capable of slaying an arch demon"

>the one magical realm guy from thread 9 that everyone hated.
completely unrelated you asshole, just because i disagree with you doesn't mean i am "some guy eveyone hated"
And no, I am not that guy. I only started posted 3 threads ago.

>2magicalrealm.
cry me a river

>Now, this point is hilarious, since it defeats your own argument.
>If we have the horn of heroes recharged, why do we need to hide on the Island?
No, you are just too stupid to read.
I said
>>We on island of storms
>>24 hours cooldown on horn
>>Anti detection wards
>>If wards are breached, then they know where we are
>>It will take them longer than 24 hours to mobilize their army to attack the storm island
>>Before their attack the horn is fully recharged
>>If we were anywhere else in the dimension other than island of storm, they will take less than 24 hours to attack us (even if in north pole or something, a team of sorcerers can gate a bunch of troops at us. but they won't be able to through the storm)
its not complicated, its the most simple and obvious thing, and I explained it multiple times

>It doesn't have to resist the Demon Lord and his armies, since they wouldn't be able to find us, presumably.
if they can't locate us due to nondetection spell.
why would being on the storm island cause the nondetection spell to fail?

either they can find us, or they can't. being on the storm island has no effect on their ability to find us, only on our ability to survive IF they find us.

I'm kind of enjoying how mad the other guy's getting, actually, but I understand your point; should the other reply to my previous statement I will ignore him utterly.

Also the box isn't a necromancer-king artifact, it belongs to a fallen kingdom of this world.

>>33793001
>Honestly, being tracked isn't even a worry, since you seem to have conveniently ignored our core's new found ability to cockblock any and all scrying attempts.
No, we have the ability to block scrying to a limited degree. its not guarenteed to stop the most powerful oracles in the world.

>>33793122

I assumed the fallen kingdom were the necromancer kings

>>33793122
>Hurr he is getting mad
calling you out for being a raging faggot isn't being mad, its just not giving you the benefit of doubt that maybe you aren't a retard
the fact you are actually getting a boner from imagining that you are angering another person just makes you a filthy troll. cancer of the internet

>>33793143
I think it would've mentioned them being the 'Necromancer-kings of the Sunken Throne' or whatever it was.
Their kingdom stretched across hundreds of planes, the core making guys were restricted to just this one.

Not a bad assumption, given the similarities.

But the two are not the same thing.

This close to the city, more arcane magic is unlikely to be remarked upon. Still, Ellahi’s house is pretty far away, reaching it your Dimension Door spell is a stretch (AE 22/34) but possible.

Due to her myriad wards, you pop out just outside the gates, but after uttering the command words you let yourself in through the gates and the front door. It’s almost midnight but as you walk into the lobby, still slightly damp, Ellahi emerges from the library, wearing glasses and a nightgown.

“You’re back!” she exclaims “I’d thought something had happened to you. She rings a bell “Angelique, Angelique!” she calls “Wake up her friends, they’ll want to know she’s back.

“What happened?” she asks, looking at your somewhat dishevelled appearance.

Pick the bits you want.
