Welcome to Banished Quest!
You take the role of a young mage labeled a criminal by his people and cast out into the wider world. In the last thread you went shopping for artifacts and met with a feline friend to discuss services rendered.

It is currently the 3rd of Yuddha, in the year 936 NH.

When Chryssa moves her thumb to rest on the glowing collection of runes inlaid upon the grip of her bow, it's as if she ceases to exist. You can still see her. Consciously you're aware that she hasn't vanished. Yet, to some sixth sense you weren't fully aware she resides within a blind spot. An impenetrable hole in your perception, from which nothing enters or leaves. Your mind rebels against the very idea that anything could be contained within. It's almost hard to look at her directly, as though you're seeing something which you know should not exist.

Then she moves her finger off the runic array and your perception floods back into the area once affected by the artifact's enchantment. You're filled with an immense sense of relief by the destruction of this unnatural hole in your awareness. Seeking out distraction, you allow your thoughts to twist themselves together with those of your son, drawing his attention away from trying to catch the fish in one of Mahana's ponds. {Have you given any thought as to what you'll ask for as your reward?}

Splashing echoes through the throne room as he pulls his head out of the water, one of the bright red fish caught between his teeth. It explodes into a cloud of multicolored vys which quickly dissipates into the surroundings when he snaps his jaws together, disappointment at this turn of events rolling off of him in waves. {Maybe something to protect my wings? Its seems like that's where I get hurt most, so armor or something might be good. I just don't want it to be too heavy, and I'm a little worried I'd need help putting it on. Since I'm not too good at grabbing things unless I'm just holding them down to eat them alive.}

{I was also thinking maybe I could get something for the end of my tail.} He continues, images flashing briefly through your thoughts of Zahak poised with his tail in the air like a scorpion, waving it in the direction of a herd of camels. {I watched a little tiny creature chasing a mouse and stabbing it with a spear on the end of its tail, but it didn't really work out too well when I tried doing that. I don't think my tail is long enough, and it doesn't have a spear. I did whack a camel so hard it fell asleep though!}

Your son seems mildly embarrassed by the memory, but he forges on. {That's all I could really think to ask for, the saddle you got for me is already pretty useful.}

Admittedly, Zahak is a little hard to find artifacts for. It's not like they make suits of armor for dragons, and as he already pointed out if said armor weighed too much it might interfere with his ability to fly. He could probably just attach some layered metal plates to the underside of his saddle, that would serve as sufficient protection for his torso, but you're not sure about his wings. Perhaps small metal plates sewn onto a leather backing draped over his shoulders would offer protection of a sort, but you're hardly an expert when it comes to armor.

Have this old spirit teach him about dragon heritage/ everything dragon related he knows.

Mahana's been around a couple eons. He should know the dragon language, thier dragon specific magic. Or at least leads into it.
We can't really teach our son the dragon ways. We may as well have some one who knows do impart him with as much dragon knowledge. And lineages and such. Possibly any dragon rituals they have. Like the elves since dragons created them as servants and such.
>>

>>Suggest he get a blade or club of some sort to attach to the end of his tail.

Fug, if he learns their language he could teach it to mik even.
>>
>>243855
>>Suggest he get scale armor to protect his wings.
Honestly it's good thinking and he should be commended for it. Though let's make sure it doesn't impact his mobility.

The belly thing is a far smaller concern due to its smaller size compared to its wings, and he really doesn't need to be more ferocious in melee with that vys pool. And for the love of Pani, let's not give the month-old infant knowledge on how to edit reality.

>>243873
I'd rather spend it on a universal translator.
>>
>>243897
Or we could just ask for the cat to magic the language into our head
>>
>>243855
>>243889
>>243892
I'll change my vote to this, since he already has a magic force-field to protect himself.
>>
>>243904
Let's not make things too easy.
>>
>>243855
>Suggest he get scale armor to protect his wings.
Also have these be enchanted to prevent hard landings in the event of injury. Falling hundreds of feet out of the sky is probably more dangerous than having your wing damaged, so if Zahak's wings do get hurt through his armor, having it also be a contingency would be nice.
>>
>>243903
we've got three IOUs for artifacts.
>>
>>243912
Good thinking.
>>243904
Universal translator beats this.

Hey Soma, could a translator artifact work on void beings?

>>243917
We used one for the teleporter, one for the bow, and now we have one left, no?
>>
>>243904
more importantly he may have some rituals he could be using to gain strength. As in there could be a reason dragons have a tendancy for gold/shiny things. That a ritual is formed around to make a dragon more powerful.
>>243917
I believe we used one for Chys.

Also if we're going to get the scale armor for wings. It will obviously resize. But it should help his flying speed/stabilization in air/landing. And weight almost nothing.
>>
>>243925
>>243934
The IOUs are separate. I think we settled on two though.

>>
>>243949
We offering him some additional advice? Chryssa got to cram a ton of shit into her artifact, so it's probably okay to tell Zahak to request more than just protection. I really liked the featherfall idea and resizing is a must.
>>243951
S'ok, I still love you.
>>
>>243961
I thought most, if not all enchanted artifacts resized.
>>
>>243968
It's apparently its own enchantment, but also really common.

It's a pity we didn't pick up a pair of those horn thingies for Zahak.
>>
>>244006
Or Chryssa.

Semi-related note: we should totally try transplanting body parts the next time we find a rapist to vivisect.

We are going to grab the Spirit Ivory we traveled all the way to the Cat's shrine to grab in the first place, right?
>>
>>244030
I'm curious why spirits don't git gudder using enchantments. Chryssa's boy is ridonculous. She's only totally absurd because Rhynian bullshit, being a Master archer, and having an equally potent artifact mask, but still.

>>244030
We have a room that can create enchanting tools and that we can teleport into at will now. It's never going to get any more convenient than this.

>>244036
Oh yeah, I'd almost forgotten.
How much of the boar's tusk did y'all want again? Just all of it?
>>
>>244045
yeah all of it sounds good.
>>
>>244045
I think it was a good chunk, but not all.
>>
>>244045
Leave the poor guy a stub, at least. It's not like we won't find something better for enchanting eventually.
>>
>>244064
I swear if the cat has been using our stuff without permission he's gonna get such a husk infused spanking.
>>
>>244045
We should also ask the Cat what his policy on starting shit in the Elaudia is. Maybe ask him if he has any more campaigns/wars planned in the future.
>>
>>244079
Oh, oh, like Arseface back in Varvar's place!
>>
>>244079
Oh yes deepthroat the cat's cock more.
>>
>>244069
If he's like any cat I've known he won't have used it, but that doesn't mean he hasn't batted it around under some couch or other such thing to force you to look for whatever item grabbed its attention.

Someone asked a question about enchanting. This is typically how I picture a gated runic array.
>>
>>244045
So using a good chunk of the boars tusk, would you say it would allow a little something extra, other than feather weight/protection/faster flying and landing?
>>
>>244143
hahaha you fucking retarded cunt.
>>
>>244178
Man, don't make him rewrite what he has so far.
>>
>not asking for a pair of tiny chest arms
>>
>>244178
Eh, probably not. Boar's tusk isn't really the be all end all material for enchanting. It can just handle more enchantments being placed upon it than most materials, and it's nearly indestructible to boot. Also highly resistant to magical tampering.
>>
>>244206
So it's lightweight and almost impenetrable. Could we somehow fashion it into paper thin sheets? Is that too thin for protection to still be viable?
>>
>>244222
He just said "probably not" which in Soma speak is "you could but it would be fucking terrible, and you're terrible for thinking of it.

But he prefers shitposting to just calling people out on being retarded.
>>
So, now that we have a realm to work with, we can start crafting industrial machinery for Skull Kid to process raw materials. Of course, we can't just conjure up material in the realm, we'll need a real world materials. But the machinery itself, with Skullkid give us designs, should be possible to make in our slice of Mahana. Perhaps Fulvia would be able to help. I'm taking all out artillery made in steel casts and explosives shells cooked in chemical vats. Best of all? It's totally pollution free!
>>
>>244222
Well, if you made it paper thin it would probably still be pretty hard but really fragile. So it would be prone to shattering if it was, for instance, struck by a mace or an arrow.
>>
>>244229
Get your industry out of my fantasy
>>
>>244206
Is crystal vys better than boar tusk? I mean, the implication with spirits having husk for skin is that the ivory is similar to physical husk, but maybe that's not the case?

I would say we should learn how to create physical vys and proceed to try to create physical husk from there, but we have so much awesome shit we started on and never finished that it's probably not happening until Trump reclaims Canada.

>>244229
Who gives a shit about pollution?
>>
>>244232
Think about how much power our family could accrue. Armies of Abdul-Hakims sporting field artillery guns and automatic firearms. Oh, and flak guns or flak shells to export to Anthus for their dragon problem. All we need is raw material.
>>
>>244243
It would never feasibly happen, I doubt even skull kid knows how to make anything other than straight up bombs and most of the stuff he used for that would come from a civilization with far more refined and processed materials than is either ON this one or readily available.

Giving the matter of your son's safety some thought, you ultimately come to decide that protecting his wings is more important than protecting his torso. After all he has natural armor protecting his underbelly, the scales there are probably thick and hard enough to render most mundane weapons harmless. His wings are fragile by comparison. {I think you should opt for the scale armor draped over your wings.}

Recalling all the extra enchantments Chryssa tacked onto her bow, you decide to offer a little more detailed advice. {If I were in your position I'd ask for the armor to be heavily reinforced and ask Mahana whether or not he could conceive of some combination of runes which would reduce the weight. You could also request additional enchantments to the armor if you'd like. Perhaps something which would allow you to easily put it on and take it off, or an enchantment to send metal blades flying through the air towards an opponent.}

You're having a little difficulty conceiving of how the armor is going to work mechanically. You suppose it could be anchored at his 'elbow', the clawed portion of his wing which he uses as a forelimb. Then it could probably attach to his saddle and to the spike which crowns the very tip of each wing. Then perhaps it could hook itself to the claws at the end of each 'finger'. You don't really fully understand the structure of Zahak's wing, now that you think about it. He might be walking on his wrist or something, now that you really examine his wing.

Hopefully Mahana can figure something out. If the design works, Zahak could just drape his wings over himself to serve as a sort of armored cocoon if he was ever in any serious danger. Maybe if the armor wrapped around his neck and draped over his shoulders it wouldn't need quite so many attachments to be functional, thus simplifying the task of putting it on and taking it off?

{I think I have an idea!} Zahak proclaims, his excitement filtering clearly through your shared connection. {Thanks Papa! I know what I'm going to ask for now.}

Before you have a chance to ask for specifics, his voice is once more drifting through your thoughts. On an instinctive level you know he's also sharing them with your companions and with Mahana, though you're not sure how you're aware of this. {Mister Cat, I think I know what I want.}

“You have my attention.” The leonine reptile purrs from atop his dais. He really is an odd looking creature, covered in a mixture of fur and scales, with five horizontally slit eyes each moving independently of the others. “Whatever your request may be, little dragon, I'll see it fulfilled.”
(1/3)
>>
{I want armor for my wings, but it can't just be any armor.} Zahak's tone is filled with conviction and confidence, you get the sense he's really quite pleased with the idea the two of you came up with. {It needs to be flexible, and I want it to be able to fold up around my shoulders so I can sun myself without taking it off. Also it can't be too heavy because if it was I wouldn't be able to fly. I was also thinking that maybe it could shoot little metal blades or something, like maybe they could fly off the armor and return afterwards. Oh, and it needs to be really sturdy and it should help me land without hurting myself.}

A thick mass of bronze scales appears perched upon Zahak's shoulders, thinning gradually as it climbs up his neck until it ultimately cuts off just underneath his jaw. You're not entirely certain what binds the scales together, but as Zahak spreads his right wing the scales upon his right shoulder begin to spread out under their own power. In a matter of seconds the thick mass of bronze has transformed itself into a thin metallic cover draped across his wing. Without any sort of warning a number of scales detach from the overall structure and shoot forward, stitching a line of bronze across the marble tile in front of him.

By the time the last scale has embedded itself in the stone, the first is already reattaching itself to the overall structure of the armor. It seems a useful artifact, though you're a little worried about whether or not it will stay on during flight or just flap around uselessly in the breeze. You presume that Mahana enchanted the armor with flight in mind, but the scales don't really seem all that anchored to the wing even if they do shift themselves to fit each individual contour.

You're about to thank Mahana for all his help and take your leave of his realm, but a thought occurs. You'd almost forgotten the original reason you'd sought out Mahana in the first place. “Actually, I have one last request before I go. Could I just get a portion of the boar's severed tusk as material for my various experiments? A relatively large portion, preferably.”

The ground quakes as the length of ivory slams into the floor just in front of you. It's still twice as long as you are tall, despite your recent use of it. “I have little need of it, truthfully.” Mahana's voice rumbles from within his chest. “Feel free to take the whole thing, if you'd like.”

Right, well. Getting this into your cloak is going to be a little difficult. You remove the garment and drape it over the thicker end, relieved to find that if fits inside even if only barely. Ricky does most of the work afterwards. He has the good sense not to stick his tentacles outside of the cloak, doing so would surely break down the facade of reality around each of his transparent limbs.

Once the last few inches of the tusk have vanished beyond the event horizon of your void cloak, you realize something odd. If Ricky's tentacles can destroy a spirit's realm, and if void creatures are known to be anathema to spirits, why was Ricky able to manipulate the tusk without destroying it? Wouldn't the tusk, a piece of a spirit, simply be destroyed upon contact with the void or one of the entities dwelling within?

As you drape your cloak over your shoulders, you know instinctively that the tusk is undamaged. Yet that makes no sense. Everything you know about spirits and void entities would seem to suggest that Ricky's touch should have destroyed the ivory. Perhaps the fact that the tusk has been separated from its 'host' spirit is somehow significant, or maybe it's simply not affected for whatever reason. You can't be sure.

Not this, though. I'm only seconding the tusk asking thing.

It's a good idea, though. Not because the artifact would be particularly useful, but for the runes we might read on it. Too bad we're not doing much with runes these days.

Alright, so I'll start writing for checking out the portion of Mahana's realm set aside for you, asking about playing conqueror in Elaudia, and asking for a map of Mahana's former shrines.

The universal translator seems a little contentious though.

Although Nature magic would probably allow communication via emotions, images, and impressions rather than proper speech. Mik knows that based upon his previous interactions with Zahak and his companions.

Lemme second this question re: gravity.

I feel like Water magic would most closely fit for manipulating gravity. It's a pre-existing system/law/force you could pour water Vys into, and in terms of physical manifestations of elements, water is the most -consistently- affected by gravity, forming a plane naturally.
>>
>>244509
They just want to go North
>>
>>244638
There's a something for that already.

>Regardless, these most powerful servants which the Gods created possess a form of divine magic. It is akin to enchanting, in that it relies upon directly affecting the strings which bind reality.
http://pastebin.com/ibi8j7Md
>>
>>244638
I actually think it's Earth magic that's linked to gravity since Earth is a mirror to Metal. What you're thinking of is more like spirit realm manipulation.
>>
>>244660
I see zero reason earth being the mirror to metal should mean it's most closely related to gravity desu.
>>
>>244665
Earth is to Gravity to what Metal is to magnetism. At least that's what I think.
>>
Earth is implied to be about the force that holds matter together- the reason a rock doesn't dissipate like dust. Gravity is probably related to that, but I doubt it's covered by Earth entirely.

It would likely count as something outside the five basic schools, but gitting gud at earth would probably be a good way to go about understanding it. As would learning its rune and singling out its reality thread.

We've other shit to learn about first, though.
>>
>>244673
From a physics perspective, we ought to be able to do magnetism via fire magic. The schools are a bit dumb.

Understanding gravity as a force that derives from mass lends itself to an earth-focus, but that's leagues from what Mik's understanding of the phenomenon of shit falling is. I'm sticking with water given the metaphysical compatibility of water vys's flexibility, and the materially observable behaviour of liquids under downwards acceleration.

Dismissing your concerns regarding the tusk for the moment, you shift your attention to another issue which has been bothering you lately. “I think we can both agree that I've done much to expand your power and the range of your control. As I'm sure you're aware, I'll soon be traveling into Elaudia and from what I've heard it is a place rife with spirits of all shapes and sizes. I thought I might endeavor to expand your realm into the jungle, but it occurs to me expanding so far and so rapidly may stretch your resources thin. Especially taking into consideration the present state of affairs in Anthus.”

Tension drains from Mahana's shoulders, his head dipping to take a sip from the pool of water stretched before him. “I am pleased you asked.” The source of his voice now seems wholly divorced from his physical body, echoing as it is from somewhere high above. “I feel comfortable with the size of my realm as it is currently. To expand any further I must first consolidate my holdings, and recruit more servants as well as disciples. Expanding into an area as highly contested as the jungle once was and likely still is would be unwise at present.”

That's understandable, truthfully it's the answer you were expecting. Though, now that you think about it Mahana is really old. He likely remembers a time before the dragons created the elves, or at least he's implied that he does. Surely this isn't the first time he's established a cult of mortals dedicated to worshiping him as their god. “In that case, do you have any old shrines that I might run across on my journey? Perhaps if I were provided with a map I might reestablish these ancient sources of power.”

“There are a few.” Mahana admits. “My cult was focused primarily within El-Amin and the desert to the east thereof. If I recall correctly there was one outpost to the north, within a canyon where the veil was thin and the Earth was rich in iron ore and gold. It was also a great place to cultivate well flower, which was one of the few sources of water in the desert before the Hiacians cut rivers through the sand.”

You'd always thought it was a little odd that canyons carved through so much of northern Pidjata. Now you know why that's the case. A forgotten remnant of some ancient irrigation system. “Surely there were others which you could reveal to me. After all I seek only our mutual benefit.”

With some measure of reluctance, Mahana continues. “There was another shrine established within the archives of the Perarasan, which is a word you're no doubt unfamiliar with. It was used by a certain subset of your ancestors to refer to their emperor. The equivalent to your later Shahanshah. Thankfully the language and culture of Aviakam have faded from mortal memory. It was they who committed offenses so grave that the Gods themselves saw fit to bless the Al-Hikar, thus ensuring their rise to prominence and the destruction of the Avi.”

No, I get that. I also know the elemental schools are rife with misunderstanding and even to a degree personal bias. Mik has filed at least one application of magic under Fire that he knows for certain doesn't fit within the school.

I'm not suggesting you can do anything if you just believe either, for the record.

There's also potential for more knowledge if we do it with a body. So we can concentrate on learning instead of on not being torn apart.

Your curiosity gets the better of you. “I take it the Avi were the ones who discovered the methods by which mortals may enchant using the essence of spirits?”

Mahana raises his head from the pool of water, his tone growing wizened and benevolent as he elaborates. “Indeed, but more than that they turned the tools which they crafted against the Gods' creation. They ripped down the structure of creation and sought to build it up again in their image. They did not recognize the utility of the universe's structure and sought to destroy it in favor of their own, simplified design. They sought to escape their rightful place within the hierarchy, and were rendered unto dust for their folly. One of my followers placed a shrine in my honor within the heart of their greatest library, and it was for this that they ultimately sought to lay me low. It was the establishment of this shrine which led to a portion of my essence being stolen from me, and ultimately locked away within the vault beneath El-Amin.”

“Those were the two shrines I most valued prior to me millennia of imprisonment, but there were others as well.” An image of Pidjata burns itself into your retina, a variety of smoldering embers burning across northern Pidjata. It is an image you do not think yourself capable of forgetting, so deeply does it worm itself into the collection of your memories. “That map should serve you well, in the event you ever do seek them out.”

When the pounding headache subsides you bow to your leonine host, touching two fingers to your forehead and chest as a sign of your respect. “You have my thanks, Mahana. Now, if you'll excuse me I think I'd like to investigate the corner of your realm you've set aside for me.”

You take the fact he's rolled over onto his back and seems to all the world asleep as a sign of his indifference, and gather your companions together. You have Chryssa link arms with Fulvia, and Fulvia with you. Perhaps you're simply being paranoid, but you'd like an opportunity to speak with her privately regarding that look she gave you earlier before lowering your guard anywhere near her. Once Zahak allows you to take hold of the flap of his wing, you channel vys into the amulet dangling around your neck.

The transfer is instantaneous. No longer do you stand within a throne room, smoke filling the air and light streaming through windows cut into the dome above. Instead, you find yourself surrounded on all sides by an endless field of nothing. It is not the black of the void, simply an expanse of lights drifting across a transparent plane on which you walk, stretching on into eternity in every direction. Above you light streams from some distant, unclear source. It truthfully only serves to disorient you, appearing at times to be both above and below the plane upon which you walk.

(2/3)
>>
Focusing upon the idea of a platform poised atop an endless expanse of the sea, you find that your surroundings leap to shape themselves to your whim. You and your companions do not stand upon some nebulously defined surface, but upon solid steel. The waves lap at the metal rhythmically, the sea churning beneath your feet. Light streams from the baleful eye of Surya high above, warm against your skin. The transformation was total, and your subconscious seems to have filled in any gaps in your reconstruction.

First off, no Sun. Make the light come from an indistinct and directionless source.

Create a tiny Moon, have Crys carve "Chryssa buradaydı" on it and put it in the sky.

Have lots of water. Build your home out of metal. Put some clouds around. Decorate with patterns of gold. Put some plants around you can see through if possible.

And then get on building an enchantment room with magnifiers, engravers, that kind of stuff. And don't forget about the sensory deprivation tank.

The problem with that place is getting to it is a bit annoying at the moment. If we could somehow drag the teleport array next to that shrine we built into our slice of Mahanna's realm and have it still work, that'd be ideal. But I have a feeling that wouldn't work.

As it is, treking all the way to his shrine, even in the spirit realm, is a chore and a fucking half. And travelling through the void itself is unpredictable.

Soma, what does/did Mik day dream about? The typical boy dreams of being an astronaut or a knight and carries a minor fascination with space or medieval fantasy with him into adulthood.

There are a lot of gates in the void, and I've decided that on a great success you'll probably find an open one. Barring unusual circumstances.

>>245034
He once imagined himself as the powerful ruler of the Abdul-Hakim clan, though he now realizes that is a role reserved for his brother. There was also a period in his life when he really wanted to be the captain of a ship sailing the seas. Maybe be a pirate for a while. Then of course he wanted to explore strange lands and discover magical artifacts of great power, but that's just his daily life these days.

>>244996
You probably wouldn't get the same random encounter twice, BUT you can search out specific structures within the void. It just requires a roll with a fairly high DC. More magically potent places are easier to find.

Anyway, glancing over the votes it seems like we're probably not letting our companions have any real influence over our realm, but let me go read a little more in depth.

So it seems like constructing a grand tower is a common theme in a lot of suggestions. I also see some support for letting Zahak have limited influence upon the structure of your realm, and I like that idea. Other than that, landscape seems a little torn. Seems like a few people want it to correspond to the elements we've grandmastered, though. That's doable.

What I think I'll do is have Mik get rid of the sun. Instead the world exist in perpetual twilight, Pani's river carving through the sky above and the full moon looming far larger in the sky than it has any right to. A tower of twisted black steel inlaid with gold rises upwards without end, while inside there is always one more floor to climb, one more room to uncover. It can never be fully explored, and only Mik is capable of keeping straight where each room is. Others will perceive the rooms as changing position at random.

Zahak's little private nest will be set up off to the side of Mik's tower, open to the night sky and large enough for him to dwell in comfortably. It will be connected to Mik's tower by a walkway over the endless ocean.

First thing going in room wise is a place where Mik conduct all manner of dangerous experiments. A meditation room for his private use with a sensory deprivation chamber will go in next.

You've been presented with quite literally limitless possibilities, and the sheer number of potential choices is staggering. You could go with something classic. Build a palace floating atop an island of stone amidst a sea of clouds. That would be a little too similar to the palace of that mad enchantress you stumbled across beneath the Satrap's Library. You could also just go for an enormous palace within a black expanse, but that's likewise been done.

You come to realize that if you try to be original in any sense you'll be stuck standing here for the foreseeable future. You're not the first one to do this, there are probably thousands of realms like this scattered throughout the void and the other outer layers of reality. Surely any idea you might conceive of has already been enacted somewhere else. This philosophical conflict momentarily resolved, you decide to enact your will upon this world.

The steel platform rapidly expands until you stand upon the very edge of a vast metallic circle. The sun is extinguished but in its place the appears the moon hovering peacefully in the night sky. Stars manifest themselves in a thousand places, stitching their way across the vault of the heavens. The moon looms ever larger even as the trail of white your people know as Pani's River begins to flow from one horizon to the other. By the time your work has finished, the white expanse of pockmarked stone seems upon the cusp of crashing to Earth.

Opposite the impossibly large moon you decide to give a nod to your companions, dedicating one half of the night sky to a series of nebulae. At the center of them all is a dragon with its wings spread wide, its head turned to breath a jet of fire across the black behind. To his left stands a man leaned upon a tower shield, his arm terminating in a short blade. Draped across his arm is a woman who's own arm terminates in a wretched claw, though she appears otherwise normal. It's a touch you think Profectus might enjoy.

To the dragon's right, a woman with a truly enviable figure cradles a long spear. She's heavily armored, though the armor has been peeled back to reveal more of her than it otherwise would. Clouds of many colors swirl around her, framing her as an almost angelic figure among the collection of heavenly sculptures.

Immediately below the image of a dragon is a second woman, her face skeletal and a bow drawn to her shoulder. On her left stands a woman holding aloft a vial filled with some unknown substance and to her right there's another with hands folded politely in her lap sitting upon a grey throne. Truthfully you had a little difficulty thinking of a method to understandably portray Fulvia, but hopefully the meaning gets across.

(1/4)
>>
>>245535
Man, I was about to complain that Soma-sempai doesn't notice us any more.
>>
In the third and final row there is but a single figure. A man who's head is composed of an enormous orb covered in protrusions of various shapes and sizes. Gears turn slowly but constantly in the clouds around him, and a ramshackle collection of artifacts have been strapped to his right arm and chest haphazardly.

Overall you feel good about the representations you've crafted to honor your companions. Nothing quite so unflattering as the first time you did this, on the beach outside of Pani's temple. Profectus actually got fairly upset with you after you depicted him as a passed out drunkard contributing little to the support of the party. Which, in retrospect, was pretty rude. You can certainly understand why he was upset.

Now, with the scenery established, you turn your attention to the construction of a grand tower. Strands of steel start to split away from the platform upon which you stand, intertwining with one another as they stretch towards the firmament. Even as they continue to expand certain strands are infected with a golden stain, which rapidly spreads up and down their length until eventually they meet with the platform and carve out spiraling patterns through the steel. Soon the metal cords twist themselves into the structure of a grand tower, a tower which reaches so high that to all and sundry it would seem to meet the sky itself.

The tower is thickest near the base, growing narrower and narrower the further it gets from the ground level. This allows the gates to be truly enormous. Twin towering gates, split down the middle to permit entry to the interior. It's flanked to either side by the shape of an enormous metallic dragon, one gold and the other silver, with their iron cousins adorning nearly every window sill or protrusion from the surface of the tower. There must be thousands of them in all.

Inside you find only a much smaller doorway, this one opening into a long hall just wide enough for Zahak to fit inside. You designed the structure to be imminently defensible, but once you've passed through the hallway you find yourself in the richly appointed interior. The floors are hardwood, with thick carpets providing warmth. Each one depicts a different episode within your journey thus far woven into the fabric in vibrant colors. This first room is clearly meant as a sitting room of sorts, hot tea sits within a pot rested upon a table at one end of the room surrounded by overstuffed leather chairs.

A door lies directly in front of you, but two others rest to either side. You opt to explore the one on your left first. Inside is a room which lies nearly empty. Workbenches line the walls, but they are devoid of tools. At the center is an enormous hatch atop a steel dome. Out of curiosity you open the hatch with a minor exertion of will and find within an inky black solution. Experimentally, you lay your hand against its surface and find the experience like touching liquid air. There's no substance there, it clings to your skin but it's so light you feel nothing. Even though it was chilly initially the temperature of the entire pool soon warms to the point that it feels neither hot nor cold. You can only assume that this serves as some manner of sensory deprivation tank.

When you turn around, a few of the benches have been populated by carving tools. However, your eye is most immediately drawn to an enormous series of magnifying lenses. Each one can be raised or lowered in turn, with the potential to increase the perceived size of an object several hundred times. They should prove invaluable should you seek to carve runic arrays no mortal would be able to naturally perceive.

There lies a door to the north, so you decide to follow it for now. Inside is a room which contains every imaginable form of glass bottle, tube, or container. It's an alchemy workshop, stocked with any conceivable piece of equipment an alchemist might need. Sadly devoid of any herbs, but that's probably for the best. The things created here seem less real than objects found within the base reality.

Passing through a doorway on your right brings you into a stairwell split between one staircase going up and the other down. Both turn sharply before you're able to get a glimpse of what lies above or below, but that's not particularly relevant to your interest at the moment. The doorway on your right leads back into the sitting room, but just ahead is another door. Curious to explore what else your subconscious has crafted, you slip through the heavy doorway.

On the other side is an armory stocked with every weapon imaginable. Spears, swords, knives, clubs, and all manner of exotic weapons you can't immediately classify. A sword one wears as a gauntlet, a bladed whip, and a set of heavy darts to name but a few. More than that, every weapon is accompanied by a corresponding wooden version for the purposes of training.

Just as the workshop was joined to the lab, the armor is joined to a sparing ground. The floor is lined with fine white sand, tall wooden post lining one end of the room while heavy stones and weighted bars of metal sat scattered about another. The rest was given over to training space.

Overall you're quite pleased with how things turned out. It's not perfect, but it's more than acceptable. It's no doubt grown late, so it might be in your best interest to return to the mortal realm and get some sleep, or perhaps to secure a private moment with Chryssa to make sure she isn't planning to murder you from afar. On the other hand, surely this place has bedrooms and you'd kind of like to show off to your other companions. Why not simply retrieve the rest of your friends from the palace before spending the rest of the night here?

No quest until I get back from my second class, which should be around 4:30-5:00 O'clock, but I've been toying with an idea I want to toss out there.

I've struggled for a while to conceive of a manner by which I might represent an enemy Vatis spending vys. Since there's no reason Mik would be the only one able to do so. In fact, he most likely wouldn't. However, I don't want to institute a system of opposed rolls. That's just tedious. So what I've been thinking I might do is institute a system where in a fight against a Vatis they can spend vys to increase the DC by a set amount.

The amount they spend would be added to the DC before y'all roll, so while I'm collating modifiers and all that. The minimum amount spent would be 3 vys, and that would raise the DC by 1 point. My reasoning is, y'all roll three times and have to spend vys on every roll that failed to bump it up to a roll which passed the DC. So if your opponent could just dump 10 vys to raise a DC of 25 to 35 that wouldn't really be fair, your opponents would be getting way more out of each point spent than Mik does. So if I divide what they spend by 3, that should balance thins out a little.

So spending 9 vys would raise the DC by 3 points, is what I'm thinking.

However, I'm sorta worried this might be an overcorrection of the issue. What I might do instead is just have the amount spend divided by two, since dumping 15 vys to up the DC by only five points seems a little ridiculous. So ten vys modifies the DC by 5 points.

Another option I was considering is that an opponent spending vys could increase the DC on individual rolls. So in spending 10 vys, they could turn a DC 15 into a DC 25 but only on the first roll. Or they could turn a DC 15 into a DC 20 on the first and third roll. That might be getting a little too complicated though, not sure.

desu senpai just do some simulated battles to work shit out
grab a vatis encounter that you already have bonuses for and roll dice, if you think the result is balanced keep it
>>
>>254600
>However, I'm sorta worried this might be an overcorrection of the issue.
thing is that's exactly how Vys boosting functions for us. Most of the vatis we fight will have greatly higher amounts of Vys either because they're ancient or they're spirit disciples and as such can afford to spend a lot more than we can.
>>
>>254662
>thing is that's exactly how Vys boosting functions for us.
Not really, Mik doesn't have to distribute his vys evenly between all three rolls. The system most similar to the system Mik operates under would be the last idea, in which they'd be able to spend to increase the DC of individual rolls.
>>
>>254683
Is there a mathematical difference between boosting individual rolls vs boosting the final result?
>>
>>254683
we still have to manage our vys more due to having multiple encounters and a lower vys pool than alot of our enemies. while they will probably just fight us and spend their entire pool.
>>
>>254697
In terms of sum total, not really. The amount higher Mik would have to roll remains the same either way. However, boosting individual rolls is far more potent than just boosting the DC.

By that I mean, turning a DC 15 into a DC 18 with 9 vys isn't going to change much at all. Boosting a DC 15 into a DC 24/15/15 could turn what would have been a Great Success into a Regular Success.
>>
>>254697
assuming dc 15, no modifiers, straight up 3d10, the probability of beating the dc is 64.8%

spending 15 vys to increase one rolls dc by 15 makes the dc 30, meaning the probability of success for that roll is only 0.1%

spending 15 vys to increase the dc of all rolls by 5 makes the dc 20, with a probability of 28.3% to beat the dc for each roll

P_great(dc15)~=27.2%
P_normal(dc15)~=44.3%

P_great(dc30/15/15)~=0.042%
P_normal(dc30/15/15)~= [i have no idea if this one is correct]42.04%

P_great(dc20)~=0.23%
P_normal(dc20)~=17.23%

with the same vys investment, raising the overall dc is a much bigger hit to success% than the ability to raise individual rolls
However, it is possible to achieve the same effect by increasing every roll instead of just one roll using the boos-single-roll system
>>
>>254794
summary:

increase only one roll -> make great successes hard as fuck, keep anything else the way it is

increase base dc -> make literally everything harder, and a lot
>>
>>254801
you forgot to take into account the multiplier Soma was considering
>>
>>254802
whoops, youre right

Same premise, 15(14) vys used -> +7 to dc

P(dc22)=16.5%
P_great(dc22)~=2.315%
P_normal(dc22)~=17.42%

vys multiplier to dc makes shit even harder still
>>
So from this little math adventure we can say that global DC modifying is mathematically more useful for winning while per dice modification is more useful to not losing as spectacularily.
>>
>>254600
>What I might do instead is just have the amount spend divided by two, since dumping 15 vys to up the DC by only five points seems a little ridiculous. So ten vys modifies the DC by 5 points.
Sounds good to me. The first option is easymode, and I've had enough of that shit. Most of our near-death experiences have been from retarded choices, anyway.

I'll be looking forward to just plain encountering some tough motherfuckers who want us dead and having to utilize all the resources available instead of steamrolling everything, getting overconfident and then getting fucked by artifacts and metaphysics because we think we're invincible now.

I just hope we'll remember to use the cloak.
>>
>>254829
yes.

this math was however done with the base dc in the middle of the probability curve. the same vys investment when success is almost guaranteed (base dc 5, p=99.6%/roll) is a lot less effective.

P_great(dc5)~=98.8%
P_normal(dc5)~=1.19%

P_great(dc10)~=76.86%
P_normal(dc10)~=21.14%
>>
>>254862
What about spreading the vys over two rolls so that the enemy is actually trying to succeed instead of not fail completely?
>>
>>254849
Oh, and another thing you can go is give the enemies artifacts from the random loot tables, like those adventurers fighting that worm golem. That woulda been a fun fight. Too bad Zahak was watching and we had to set a good example.
>>
>>254870
base dc 15(64.8%)
15(14) vys (+7/+7/+0)

P_great(dc22/22/15)~=0.01796%
P_normal(dc22/22/15)~=18.76%
P_fail(dc22/22/15)~=54.88%
P_bigfail(dc22/22/15)~=24.54%
>>
>>254600
That sounds fair as long as you don't suddenly throw unavoidable opponents with double or triple of our vys.
>>
>>254901
>>254862
>>254821
>>254794
Based on this Anon's math, the boost-single-roll system works more or less how I want it to. Before we get into any modifiers.

Would be able to either make Great Success unattainable or force Mik to spend out the ass for a Regular Success, in most cases. Which would make Vatis fights a lot more deadly, and really emphasize the importance of a large vys pool.

So I think that's the system I'll go with. Corrections will be made to the dice pastebin once I'm home.

Bad news is I just learned there's a shit ton of work due by midnight which I thought I had until the end of the class to finish.

So at the very least, thread delayed.

It waxes on about disrupting the flow of vys through the body of one's opponent with nothing more than slight pressure upon the inner elbow. It also spends an inordinate amount of time detailing points on the hands and feet which might be used to debilitate an enemy.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out in-quest. Thus far it doesn't seem like anything is going to interfere with my running today. I finished all my homework. I guess there's a quiz I should maybe study for tomorrow but eh, I don't really do the whole "studying" thing.
>>
>>245211
This is correct actually. Mik's little private realm is 100 square miles, not 10. Muh bad.
>>
>>261198
Will the order of the rolls be important? Or will you first check if the highest roll reaches the highest DC, then if not if it reaches the second one and so on?
>>
>>261198
I'm guessing they do this before we roll, right? Otherwise they could turn a great success into an instant game over. Also, will certain enemy vatis be able to hide their vys expenditure?
>>
>>261256
>hide their vys expenditure
thats one hell of an idea

hidden metamagic doesnt work with channeling though, does it?
>>
>>261256
Yup, alterations to the DC happen before any dice are rolled. As for enemy Vatis hiding their vys expenditure, not sure. I mean, maybe I could assign bonuses to DC from vys expenditure some other cause but I don't know if I'd be alright with having the DC set at one thing and then springing a surprise on you because the DC was actually higher.

>>261253
Nah, the order of the rolls isn't particularly important. The highest roll will be assigned to the highest DC...

Well, actually that brings up an interesting point. Because if the highest roll always goes to the highest DC, and it doesn't make that DC, then you could turn what would have been perhaps a Regular Success into a Regular Failure. Because that highest roll might satisfy the lower DC, and maybe you have a second roll that passes the lower DC, but the third roll fails.

So maybe it would be simpler if I set it such that the order of the rolls does matter. In the past, when the DC was uniform and the same was true of bonuses, there wasn't much difference between one roll or another. Now I'm not so sure.
>>
>>261278
Applying the rolls to the DCs in order of appearance will make for lots of frustration when the DCs are 25/20/15 and we roll 24/19/26. Even when we roll 16/10/5. I think ignoring the order of the rolls will be easier to stomach for the players. It will still reduce the number of great successes, thus adding suspense, but at least it will not increase the number of severe failures much.
>>
>>261302
Seems to be the safest approach. Even if things end up too easy, it can be changed after some playtesting anyway.
>>
So can we agree that raising our vys pool takes priority?
>>
>>261482
Yeah but how do convince idiots to read more books?
>>
>>261487
Why not just get an artifact that will passively read books to our mind rather than one that beams it's information to our mind or help us read slightly faster? It would allow a degree of multitasking. Also experiments are better for increasing our vys pool than books.
>>
>>261502
I wonder if getting grandmaster nature would allow us to absorb the relevant information from someone's head right after they finish reading a book. Because Fulvia has a lot of free time and I bet she's a faster reader that the fleshies.

As much as you enjoy the comforts of the palace, here ought to be able to readily exceed them. The only limitation on what is possible is the extent of your imagination, and a wild imagination is very nearly a prerequisite for any serious Vatis. That in mind you think you'll spend the night here. All that remains is to retrieve your companions from the base reality, or rather the mortal realm. You're still not wholly certain how the division between a spirit's realm and the base reality works exactly.

You're about to start channeling vys into the amulet around your neck when you realize you stand alone in the sand-covered sparring ground. Chryssa, Profectus, Zahak, and Fulvia are nowhere to be seen. You're certain you had them with you when you entered the tower, but after that you can't seem to remember where they'd gone. This seems a simple enough problem to resolve, you need merely reach out to them via the brooches and coordinate to meet back up in the sitting room. However, an idea occurs.

Channeling Nature magic, you almost feel as though you subsume the world around you. You can feel wind buffeting against the tower's exterior and water rushing past the pillar upon which you tower sits. Each individual grain of sand, every wooden panel lining the walls in the sitting room, the tea in the teapot and the pot itself, you are all of these things and more. It's a strange, and remarkably unpleasant, experience.

Fortunately, it does allow you to quickly locate each of your companions. Profectus is on the floor below, in the lone basement level of the tower. He is roaming through hallways lined on either side by thick steel doors, each one marking a room set aside to contain test subjects or act as storage space for supplies brought in from the mortal realm. You worry briefly that he may get himself locked in somewhere, but he's a grown man. He can watch after himself.

Fulvia is inspecting the various devices in what you can only assume is an enchanter's workshop of some sort. She seems particularly interested in magnifying lenses, inspecting various materials under their full power. She seems mystified by her own hand, at the moment, her thoughts a flurry of excitement and hectic activity. You can only guess as to what it is which has so sparked her curiosity, but the body she currently inhabits is certainly odd. Its outermost layer is soft, yielding, and oddly warm to the touch. It feels almost like skin.

Meanwhile, Chryssa sits in one of the overstuffed leather chairs sipping tea, one leg folded passively across the other and her bow rested across her lap. She runs her fingers over the lengths of ivory running through each of the bow's metal arms, the gesture almost reminding you of how one might stroke a cherished pet. She seems calm, you'd even go as far as saying she's content, but you still worry just what it is she's planning.

(1/2)
>>
Which leaves Zahak. He's not in the tower proper, but you can still feel him. He's crossed over an iron bridge extending from the platform on which your tower sits. You don't recall it being there originally, but it arches gracefully over the water to a second platform on which an enormous structure has been erected. Just feeling it out, it's twice as wide as the base of your tower but not nearly as tall, with a large skylight at the top. It's been designed to match your tower aesthetically, all black steel threaded with gold. Dragon statues, quite similar to your own, flank the main gates on either side and ring the skylight at its top. Your son lies within, rested upon a raised dais not dissimilar to the one Mahana uses as a throne of sorts.

At its center rest a large pool of boiling water, kept hot by the base plate of the pool and refreshed regularly by seawater flowing in through slits along its sides. A coating of salt has already begun to form around its rim, which you imagine will only grow with time. Other than that, there seems to be little in the way of decoration. Granted that seems to be changing, judging by the fact that the number of pillows littered around the grand chamber is steadily growing.

You can only assume that Zahak is responsible for this structures appearance, which you're quite alright with truthfully. You wanted to give him some measure of control over your realm. You just didn't quite expect him to take so readily to the task of manipulating the fabric of this reality.

Satisfied that none of your companions have managed to drown themselves quite yet, even if Profectus is trapped in the basement, your thoughts turn to Chryssa. Now might be a good time to speak with her, but on the other hand your other companions aren't just going to stumble upon this tower. You need to retrieve them.

She's mad because we agreed to not kill her husband and call off our relationship just cause she was being a pussy about indiscriminate dragon attacks, and then we shortly after doing that live streamed us fucking some chick for like 9 hours and she watched for I think almost 3 before turning away.

It was a very unfortunate accident that she took as an insult because of unfortunate timing.

Chryssa was our beta orbiter who stuck by her side and was willing to do anything for us out of love

Who finally screwed up the courage to confess her feelings

And then we strung her along for a while before finally rejecting her because she was a subhuman freak who would lower our social status though we said she could be our secret side chick

And then we livestreamed us banging a random chick directly to her like right after we rejected her heartfelt confession

And then we hooked up with her best friend and randomly started a relationship in the sort of socially acceptable way that she could only dream of

>yo, you should replace the only memento you have of your dad
>fine we'll just replace parts of it to make it better, christ woman, calm your tits
>we cool brah?

I'm not sure how /tg/ has avoided the curse of white knight harem faggotry that it usually succumbs to, but it's made Mik an entertaining character to play if nothing else
>>
>>262328
And the writer being drunk.
>>
You doubt that Fulvia is going to satisfy her curiosity anytime soon, and Zahak seems quite occupied with crafting his own little personal paradise. You'll probably not have another opportunity to speak with Chryssa so openly without fear of outside interference of others listening in. Thus you cut the flow of vys and pass through the door on your right, entering the common area just beyond your tower's gates.

Chrys is much as you last saw her, seated peacefully at one end of the room with the teapot rested on the table just in front of her. You note something you hadn't picked up on through the lens of Nature magic: the subtle scents of rose petal and orange peel fill the room. It strikes you as exceptionally odd how real everything feels, even though consciously you know this is little more than your imagination. The sheer number of little details crammed into every facet of your creation are truly remarkable.

Your companion pays you little mind as you cross the room and take a seat in a chair next to her, pouring some of the pot's dark contents into an elaborately decorated teacup. The bottom half is silver inlaid with all manner of elaborate, swirling patterns. The top is composed purely of clear glass so one might assess the strength of the cup's contents. Which, considering the fact that the tea within is very nearly pitch black, is exceptional. An experimental sip proves your assumption, notes of citrus and rose serving only to subdue rather than eliminate its bitter taste.

Fortunately a remedy lies upon the table before you. A small ceramic bowl containing broken up clumps of crystallized sugar. You pop a few into your mouth, finding the taste vastly improved the next time you raise the cup to your lips. Maneuvering the lumps of sugar off to the side of your mouth, you turn your attention finally to the silent Chryssa. “I feel there is a question I ought to ask you regarding your bow, or rather the acquisition of your bow.”

She only nods by way of response, so you continue along that train of thought. “Why did you stare at me so intently before requesting that the Cat augment your weapon with the ability to cancel out magic? It seemed to me, at the time, almost as if you'd requested that particular alteration to the weapon specifically with the intention to kill me.”

“You are exactly right, the reason for my requesting a bow which can counter most aspects of magic is your eventual demise.” Her confession is frank and immediate, she never was one to shy away from the truth. “There are other reasons of course. It is simply a good idea. The ability to act as a hard counter to enemy Vatis seemed useful. I also thought it might serve to diffuse conflicts between users of magic which might otherwise grow violent.”

She shrugs her shoulders, expression unreadable. “All that being said, you have nothing to fear from me. I do not intend to kill you unless circumstances force me to. However, you are but one or two poor decisions away from absolute madness. As I'm sure you're quite aware, you make many poor decisions.” A fair assessment, much as you'd be loathe to admit it. Regardless her assurances put you at ease.

“So long as we are having this discussion, there is an issue I've wished to broach with you for some time.” The shift in her tone and temperament is subtle but noticeable. There's a softness to her voice she'd previously lacked, and some of the tension drains from her. “I have recently been considering going off on my own to make my way in the world independently of you and the party. Much as I might have enjoyed my time with you and the others, and despite certain conflicts I assure you I have enjoyed traveling together, I feel that I would make better use of my talents alone. The idea of self-determination likewise appeals to me. I would not leave until after our return from Elaudia, but I felt now was as good a time as any to bring it up.”

This is the most you've heard her speak in a month or more. You're frankly a little shocked, though you and Chrys have certainly had your disagreements you still consider her a dear friend. She was the first to join you on your travels, and for some reason you sort of thought she'd always be at your side, a faithful if not necessarily congenial companion.

Besides, there's plenty we can help/teach in helping her advance in skill, like Martial trances or the shaping arts. As close as we are in losing much of our marbles, she can use physical force to regulate Mik's habit of bad decision making. If Mik does go nuts, she's practically the best candidate in putting Mik down.
>>
>>262401
I honestly think we shouldn't replace the vacant spot if a companion leaves or dies. All of our present companions have so much room for improvement, but we're forced to split our attention between them, when we actually bother with upgrading people who aren't Mik.
>>262417

>>262432
being detached and logical in general doesn't guarantee lack of emotional bursts, especially in a case like this, genius. She merely has a longer fuse than most, doesn't mean she never ''explodes''

>>262440
They were pretty much shit even before he came along. Her dad was dead and she was trapped in a marriage she didn't want before Mik entered the scene.

The only difference Mik made was irresponsibly reintroducing dragons to the surface, which only directly lead to the only home she's ever known being destroyed.

Peanuts, really.
>>
>>262458
No.
>>
>>262461
a home she was ready to leave behind, I don't even think anyone liked her there, she was isolated from everyone.
>>
>>262458
Let's not. No need to try and force more people to stay. Granted, keeping Darzi staying worked out for Mik, but we're not hurting for companions. Plus, we might get cool Chryssa omakes.
>>
>>262467
Yeah, like I said. Honestly, I bet she'd have traded knowledge of the Shaping Arts to remember her times with her dad better for the lives of every villager.
>>
>>262458
We already promised that before and backed off once we found out he is too far away.
>>
>>262440
What? Her life was shit before mik too

Outcast freak with no family besides 'dad' (who found her anyways) who was tolerated in her shithole village (but was still the outsider) who was manipulated into a marriage she didn't want

We taught her magic, made her an earth GM and a proficient enough healer to go solo, we equipped her with priceless artifacts

She's always had the willpower and potential, but we made her the top tier beast that she is

She has the strength and ability to be a solo adventurer because of us. Without us she'd still be hunting goats
>>
>>262444
In terms of gitting gud, it was a poor move, yes. But it'll be nice in terms of improving the actual story, giving her a more personal memento of her time with us while helping things move towards a more satisfying goodbye.

>>262458
Correct me if I'm wrong, since it was forever ago, but wasn't that something people in her culture do if they want to replace someone's husband?
>>262485
She was already a ruins delver when we found her. That said, we did save her from getting raped by her husband, so everyone who thinks we made her life worse is retarded.

Oh, we should create some gold and take it with outside us, see what happens. Even if it dissipates, it would have been worth a try.

Also, a fake spirit object might serve as a "template" for a Create spell that could be cast at feasible vys costs. I wonder what merchants would pay for fist-sized chunks of diamond?

I also want to ask Fulvia about what she saw as well. Imagine what examining tissue on a cellular level would do for both our offensive and defensive capabilities.
>>
Oh yeah, we should inform Chrys of that kid we rescued from her village, she would probably want to pay her a visit at some point. Assuming the whole city isn't kill by dragons of course.

I think we all need to have a serious discussion pertaining to the fact that our gracious quest master known as Soma. He is not the proficient writer we once thought him to be, in all actuality he is a hack and a fraud peddling low quality goods, he is equatable to the snake oil salesmen of yore. We have seen him throw out worthless and petty drama time and time again yet accepted his skill as a writer nonetheless, we suck in his scenes of mindless violence like a starving calf does his mothers teat, we do this even though it is obscenely obvious to even the lowest of the common plebes that violence could be written by a third grader. For far too long have we debased ourselves reveling in simple adrenaline evoking scenes and suffering through mindless drivel between. I say it is high time that we demand of Soma a higher quality quest and that he should be held accountable for his poorly thought out setting and plot lines that are so blatantly come up with on the spot. I personally have spent several weeks deep within the bowels of the beast known as the ircabal and in my times there I have gathered evidence which leads me to believe there is a origin point for all the flaws which our quest master has. I propose that soma is a autisitc pedophile lacking in the common moral fiber that binds upstanding society, I assert this to have been the driving factor in his early leave from home as he had made unwelcome sexual advances upon his underage sister possibly even raping her. The resulting social backlash and banishment from his normal everyday life would be an extreme stress factor to someone with autism, leading to him seeking a way to vent his frustrations in some way. That way is Banished Quest; Banished Quest is an autisitc pedophiles emotional vent enabled and allowed to continue for far too long. I thank you for your time reading all of this my fellow questing individuals and I welcome all constructive criticism.

“It's not my place to dictate your actions, Chrys.” You speak slowly and choose each word with care. You feel this is a delicate topic, and it wouldn't do to suffer a misunderstanding. “If you wish to leave, then I won't try to stop you. That being said I'd vastly prefer that you stay with the party. I know I've perhaps not been a good friend, I know we haven't gotten along together well lately. Yet surely despite it all the good outweighs the bad.”

She frowns, it's only the slightest indication of underlying emotion but any expression at all from Chryssa is rare. “I do not know if I would agree. Before your arrival I was well respected if not well liked in my village. I wielded significant personal power as the leader of the hunters. My marriage took place against my will and remains unconsummated but I was not often forced to interact with my would-be husband. It is also quite possible that I would have won considerable glory in the war my people currently fight against the Elves and their allies.”

“I do not wish to entertain questions regarding what might have happened had we never met.” She's quick to assert, putting an end to that line of thought. “I do not think such hypothetical pondering serves any practical purpose. I will also profess to being quite happy with my life as it is today. I enjoy wealth and luxury, though I have little need for the former, and have gotten the opportunity to see parts of the world I never thought possible. I have immensely improved my magical power and gained a plethora of magical artifacts I hope to one day pass on to my descendants. Yet Pidjata does not seem like a place I would ever truly be able to call home. I must take into account my likely brief lifespan and seek to make best use of my time here.”

You find it curious she didn't point out the fact you're indirectly responsible for the destruction of her village, which you expected to be among her primary grievances. Then again she didn't seem very fond of Khmedi. “Perhaps you would not feel that way about Pidjata had you not isolated yourself from the party. Profectus voiced to me early how he worries after you, a sentiment I know Darzi shares. You barely speak a word to anyone and spend most of your time in your room.”

Chryssa retreats from you, though you don't think it's due to any conscious action on her part. “I have craved my own company lately.” She offers by way of excuse. “It is not that I've lost any affection for Profectus, or Darzi, or even for you. Though, I will admit that I care little one way or the other about either Mortia or Thaddeus. Fulvia likewise unnerves me, though she has proven a loyal companion. It is merely that I felt the need to be with my own thoughts, and after the last few weeks I think I feel better for it.”

What he said

Another sip of tea erodes away the last vestiges of sugar in your mouth, so you pop in two more chunks. “We will likely spend weeks, if not months traveling the jungles. All I ask of you is that in that time you try to interact with the party as you used to. Perhaps by the time we've returned you will have reconsidered leaving the party. If not, then know you would always be welcome in my home. Wherever that may be.”

She nods, but says nothing. You finish off the last of your tea in one great gulp and crunch the remnants of sugar between your teeth. It seems you've exceeded her willingness to discuss this topic any further.

Writin' for sparring, and presumably for returning to Nazir afterwards to collect the others.

The purposes for this spar seem kinda two fold. One, you want to learn how to fight with your horns. Chryssa will give you a fairly significant bonus to that, since she herself has horns.

Two, there seems to be interest in teaching her how to achieve a Martial Trance.

So give me a second to collate bonuses n' such. I kinda want to test out the new dice system for spending, but I don't know if this is really a combat roll.

Wait Soma, we're also going to give her a deeper level of understanding of vys channeling, I think everyone is in agreement there when we talked about it when we where teaching Prof and Darzi, apparently Chrys still has mental blocks with it or some such?

it would remove the ability to control the lava. lava still goes through though.
>>
>>262728
It's amazing how rarely people do that, considering the effects of lava on the air surrounding it. Maybe it's accordingly expensive, or something.

So, are we leaving that ceramic lady forever in the void with Ricky? Chances are there's a way to repair her. Water+Earth, maybe?

>>262705
>>262703
>>262699
She can channel into physical actions, and to a limited extent into mental actions, but she still has trouble with the mental side of things.

Anyway, ROOOOOOOOOOOOOLL ME 3d10+18 (+6 from Veteran of Marsala Ve, +6 from Chryssa understanding the difficulties of fighting with horns, +4 from Impossibly Strong, +4 from A Terrible Thing to Waste, -2 from Horny Bastard) vs DC 30 (Base 30)

So I decided to sort of treat this like a role for Chryssa to teach tutor you on a form of combat, taking the base DC from Mik being a Veteran of Marsala Ve. If y'all pass this roll, which you probably will, you'll have learned completely how to adapt your horns to Marsala Ve.

Note, you don't get the +6 bonus to your next Marsala Ve 'meditation' because this isn't really a roll to improve your understanding of Marsala Ve, just remove your malus entirely. That being said, I'll up that +6 to a +8 since leaning to apply your forms against an opponent with a different style can be just as educational as sparring a master of that particular form.

I'll be rolling for Chryssa's ability to learn fully how to channel and how to enter a Martial Trance separately, but she'll be getting some pretty significant bonuses from Mik so she ought to pass.

So I guess Mik doesn't really learn much about fighting with his horns. In fact I might make that the trait Mik gets from this. His horns are his weakness, or something like that. Conveys a permanent malus to fighting hand-to-hand.

Or maybe she accidentally snaps his neck, QUEST END.

I don't know, this is going to take some thinking.

It's not living with, it's fighting with. Mik can never quite figure out how to keep his horns out of a fight/use them to his advantage. I'm thinking it would be a -6 or a -8 malus. Alleviated in sparring by getting others to agree not to go for the horns but pretty serious in a real fight should things get physical.

Maybe I'd let Mik one day work down the malus, but I wouldn't want to make it easy. Something like the malus is reduced by 1 for every specific sparring session done to correct it. So a minimum of 6 sparring sessions.

I could also do something like she knocks him unconscious and Mik suffers some serious neck/spinal injuries but nobody else here is a good enough Water Vatis to mend the wound. Maybe the Cat gets involved, but after saving his life Mahana considers all the debts he owes Mik paid off.

Another option I'm considering is that Mik gets his ass beat so badly by Chryssa that she loses respect for him, since she's already holding back her strength as is. Further convincing her that her talents would best be used abroad rather than with the party.

I don't know, still kinda thinking about it. I think what I'll do is I'll start writing and see how things sort of pan out.

In a reality that he controls?
>>
>>262874
>Metal GM and Water GM couldn't stop this?
If we're sparring we won't be allowed to use magic, Mik could be incapacitated before getting an opportunity to heal himself.
>>
>>262866
It's not like we need them anyway, we won't be sparring for sexual dominance against the giant horned dung beetles of Elaudia. Or, at the very least, that possibility is now removed.
>>
>>262886
To be frank, not using any metal magic while sparring with Chryssa is both stupid and a waste of time for everyone involved.
>>
>>262879
>In a reality that he controls?
>>262859
That is a good point.
>>
>>262874
>Can just cut off the horns
Indeed, that would get rid of that malus.

>Metal GM and Water GM couldn't stop this?
Reinforcing yourself still requires conscious effort, even if Mik is capable of doing it rapidly. Healing is pretty much the same story. It would take them both by surprise, and then Mik would be unconscious before he could do anything to correct the damage done.

>In a reality that he controls?
Oh yeah. I mean, I assume Mik is going to be playing fair. On a Nat 3, even if he cheats he'd still probably lose. Which would make things even more embarrassing really. Regardless, I was thinking that she'd toss him around like a rag doll and then snap off one of his horns, perhaps permanently scarring him.

He could always just erase the portion of the tower underneath her feet, or expel her from his reality, but really what would that change? It would come across as the behavior of a petulant child.
>>
>>262891
It's still cheating
>>
>>262859
>>262879
At the very least, it would traumatize him to the point where any attack aimed for the head/horns would give him immense mental pain and alter his self-perception about him and his horns. Since they're sparring in Mik's reality, the horns don't break, but the self-image has changed to the point there it feels brittle to Mik,
>>
>>262899
>It would come across as the behavior of a petulant child.
yeah, may as well go full hog hey.

Let's trap her in this reality instead, keeping her fighting imaginary 'Mik's until we finally defeat her.
>>
>>262899
Would running around with a single broken-off horn teach Mik some humility?
>>
>>262899
How about give him PTSD from the beating? any attack aimed for the head either gives him immense mental pain or he is forced to drop all actions and dodge due to the idea that his horns are brittle than they actually are.
>>
>>262921
Maybe make it the opposite? Anyone reaching for or that he thinks is going for his horns/head sparks an immense rage that makes him lash out at them? In order to never experience the same humiliation again.
>>
>>262929
>>262899
I quite like the sound of this idea.
>>
>>262929
The opposite of pain is clearly pleasure though.

It's like torture: after it you'll either do anything and everything you can to never feel the pain and helplessness again, or you'll do the opposite, you'll try to make others feel the humiliation and shame you did.
>>
>>262899
Crit/crit fails should be changed so that they don't automatically confer failure or success, they just make a option easier or hardeer depending on how you roll.

For example, say you succeed two rolls and crit fail the last roll, the crit fail counts as two failures and makes the action is twice as vys expensive as a normal failure for vys channeling.

A crit success would be direct opposite, and allow actions to be easier to perform.

I don't understand why the trait wouldn't just be a significant malus to whatever we were trying to accomplish with the roll. That's how crits have worked in the past. Preceptor was from trying to teach, Terrible Thing to Waste was from resisting void entities, so it stands to reason that the trait from this crit fail should be a horn related penalty to hand to hand. It should probably be a malus of equal magnitude to the bonus of preceptor
>>
>>262968
What do you mean with that on a per roll basis? You mean each of the three dice we roll should have mini crit fails/successes that count for 2?

That's dumb. There's like a 3/5 chance we'd have one in each roll.

You set down your cup and rise from your seat, stretching briefly. “We'll be staying here for the night, I think. I'll need to go fetch the others from Nazir soon. Before I do though, would you be interested in a sparring bout? I've learned that these horns can be a damnable obstacle in the middle of a fight, and I've been hoping to ask you for some pointers ever since they sprouted from my skull. I figure you're something of an expert on fighting with horns, after all.”

She bows her head, acquiescing. “I suppose that would be an appropriate claim. I have learned in my years how to turn them into an advantage rather than a weakness. Granted, that is in part due to my tremendous strength. People do not expect to be thrown bodily into the air when I rear my head back. However, even taking that and the differences in our martial techniques into account I think I ought to be able to adapt some of my techniques into forms which you'd find useful.”

Chryssa rises from her seat and readily follows you through the far door into the sparring room. Your footsteps in the sand have vanished, a fact you find a little odd but attribute to the nature of this place. You strip yourself down to just a tunic and trousers, leaving your cloak and various other accouterments folded neatly off to one side of the door. Chryssa sets herself to a similar task, shedding her armor and setting aside her bow.

Her hair is wild and red, hanging in loose strands around her head and tied up into a bun in the back. It's always a little strange to see her head bare. She usually takes such extreme care to keep herself covered nearly head to toe in either a robe of a shawl. She wears a tunic and trousers not dissimilar to your own. You suspect she's bound her chest because she could quite easily be mistaken for a man based upon build alone. She's almost intimidatingly muscular, but you trust she'll restrain herself so as not to cause you any real harm.

As you take up your position at one end of the room, Chryssa occupying the other, a thought occurs. “You know, now would be an excellent time to perfect your understanding of channeling vys. I know you've mastered the practice of channeling into physical actions, but if I recall correctly you've been having trouble with channeling into less definite task, like speech or thought.”

“That is correct.” She pulls her knee up to her chest, balancing upon one leg while she stretches. “Though I have made some limited progress on my own it would likely be beneficial to have some sort of guidance. Do you have any recommendations for how I might improve my capabilities as a Vatis?”
(1/4)
>>
>>263345
Yeah, just enchant your bunghole with a portal to the void.
>>
You can think of a few, but why not knock out two birds with one stone? “There is a technique I've been practicing lately which I like to call a Martial Trance. It entails releasing your attachment to the outside world and relying instead upon instinct to guide you in combat. I've found that even Profectus proved capable enough at its practice, so I imagine even though your understanding of Nature magic is somewhat lacking you should be able to pull it off well enough.”

Chryssa finally lets her leg fall, the sand radiating out around the point of impact in a great wave. It subsides just as it reaches you, the sand settling back into its original position. “I should be able to rely upon Earth magic for the most part, in addition to what little I know of Nature. So long as we remain on sand, that is. How does this help me in mastering channeling?”

“Well, since I assume it will be difficult for you to achieve this form of meditative trance on the first try and without an expansive understanding of Nature magic, you'll be forced to either fail and get knocked across the sparring ground as a result or spend vys in order to succeed.”

She seems to accept your explanation, closing her eyes readily and dropping into a low stance. She seems content to let you make the first move, so you drop into a stance of your own and begin to advance. She crouches passively opposite you, one leg held behind her and the other thrust forward. Her entire bod is turned to one side so that only a narrow target is presented, but you're not worried.

The kick she swings towards you the very moment you step within range is utterly predictable but terrifyingly powerful. The air whistles as her foot passes over your head, though you don't despair. Instead you take advantage of the opportunity presented and drive your fist into her abdomen, expect your blow to knock her off balance since she stands upon only one leg.

Punching her is like striking stone. You wonder if you didn't hurt yourself more than you hurt her. Still she stumbles backwards, a snap kick forcing you to break off your follow up. She elects to go on the offensive, bull rushing you in a literal sense with her head lowered and horns brought to bear.

(2/4)
>>
You side step, stomping on her knee as she rushes past. It sends her sprawling in the sand rather effectively, if only due to her own interrupted momentum. She's on her feet in short order, and you can feel the irritation boiling over in her thoughts. She's fighting you with her eyes closed, and though she struggles to enter into a trance she's not having much luck. She wonders if you just weren't trying to humiliate her.

Another attack, this one more controlled. She pushes herself forward off her back foot and though your fist connects with her jaw she seems undeterred. A punch to the ribs knocks the wind out of you, and probably fractured something. She follows it up by swinging her head violently to the left, bringing her horn around to slam into the side of your face. Your balance slips and you fall promptly to the floor, but recover before she's able to climb atop you and pin you to the ground. A quick roll to the side allows you to evade her grasp, and you're on your feet before she can regain her momentum.

Chryssa's thoughts have shifted. No longer are they the hectic mass of paranoid worries and competitive desire. Calmness has descended over her, and at a glance you'd say she finally achieved the trance you described. Hopefully that means she's also mastered the art of channeling. It's almost hard to believe that you began teaching her the basics some several months ago and now, at long last, she's mastered them.

Your thoughts are swiftly interrupted by a high kick thrown your way. You duck, but as she lands softly upon the ball of her right foot she swings the heel of her left towards you. It crunches into your nose, the cartilage collapsing under the brutality of her strike and blood filling your sinus immediately. The pain is immeasurable, but it doesn't stop there. She grabs you by the horns and lifts you with uncomfortable ease into the air, twisting her entire body as she hurls you across the room.

Something in your neck gives out, and then all is black.

When you awaken, a body lies slumped against the stone wall. However, it could not be your body. For you stand upon the sands some short distance away marveling at the wonder of creation laid out before you. A thousand thousand thin golden strands fill the air around you, each one playing one note within an infinite symphony. They bend to your will as easily as grass in the wind, practically begging for you to twist them as you desire.

You have ascended beyond the confines of your mortal form, though you cannot be certain as to why. Chryssa kneels next to the corpse at the other end of the room, marveling at the glory of your form as she rightly should. Though, now that you take a little closer look at that body slumped in the corner it does strike you as familiar. The long, dark hair draping down past the shoulders. The ears which extend some several inches past the head. Its skin the same shade of dark brown as your own.

The neck is bent at so sharp and unnatural an angle it hurts just to look at, and blood streams readily from the back of his head, so you can only assume he's quite dead. Realization dawns on you only slowly. Surely that could not be you, could it? The tattoos are the same, though his are dull and lifeless. Your own writhe across the surface of your flesh, cast in gold against the coal black of your flesh in this ascended state. Yet, you were the only one of your kind in the tower. If you truly lie dead at the opposite end of the room how are you still here? Why have neither Pani nor Surya not claimed your soul for their own respective purposes?

You have no memory of the events leading up to your death, but you have little choice but to accept the facts as they're laid before you. You're dead, but you still stride the world. For how long, though? How long can you maintain your coherence as a soul without a vessel? Is this some last cruel joke, an opportunity to realize fully opportunities missed, task left undone, and mistakes made over the course of your brief life? You can't die, you're too young to die! You've not even reached your thirtieth year!

Even in your present state, with emotions dulled by the immense power at your fingertips and a natural detachment from the affairs of mortals, fear seizes upon your thoughts. You're dead, and that's not the slightest exaggeration. Your soul has fled your lifeless body, and now you face only a slow death as your memories are stripped away piece by piece.

This is a big hint here guys. We can craft another body, probably by using our current body as a template. We have bonuses to doing so with water to build, metal to manipulate and observe strings, and shaping arts.
>>
>>263418
this pls
>>
We should be able to use a combination of nature magic and water magic to at least semi-force what functions aren't completely destroyed to run, or at least flood the natural vys pathways full of juice. This should buy us enough time to use nature and metal magic to enforce our self-image onto the body. We should even be able to force our mortal body's typical self-image on it despite our current condition because of the Shaping Arts allowing us to remember our perspective flawlessly.

A lot of this is experimental, but meh.

>Mik channeling water magic into a corpse
Obviously that's not what anons intended. The mentions of husk magic in most every post make me think(read: hope) that anons wanted to impose our self image onto the corpse much like we imposed our will on the spirit realm in our GM meditation. Though we've never used water husk casting so maybe they just thought it would work. Regardless, I don't think that
having Mik impotently throw water magic at his corpse fits with both his character and the spirit of the choice that was voted for here.
>>
>>263423
We could also look at the differences between Chryssa's and our body, see if we can identify the "broken neck" strings.

>However, much to your disappointment the moment you release your hold the soul simply starts drifting off towards that warped area in the desert left behind by the opening to the void. On a hunch you drag it back and hold it still, channeling Metal magic into the shard and into the boy's corpse as well. That worked for you, at least. Reinforcing your soul with Metal magic. Sure enough, some sort of inky black substance slowly starts to bleed from what appears to be the fabric of reality itself, weaving itself into a shell around the boy's soul.

Alright. We'll need to construct a new body using our control of this realm. Than channel Metal Magic into constructing a shell that binds us to it. This is not a void meditation recovery. Then, our body as a vessel was still functioning and alive, ready to receive our soul back. We'll have to create a bond using metal magic with our shell. We might also want to make sure that the shell we create isn't so very complex. The shell around our soul is the important thing.

Let's be honest. Do we want to be?

>>263461
don't forget making sure our vessel is "technically" alive the moment we bond with it. Making sure it's breathing and shit with a healed/fixed neck.

Honestly, our body is too much of a gamble. Strings of reality breaking or being damaged means a thin layer of reality. The strings are perfectly fine, and Mik would've noticed it with his mastery over this realm if they were frayed. That means if we replicate our body, it comes with the "body is currently dead with it's neck snapped string." We should seriously consider replicating the strings of Chryssa's body as the closest immediate living creature.
>>
There's a perfectly good body in the room with us. We should just copy the strings of reality that define Chryssa, put our soul in a copy of her body, then work out the rest of the problems later when we don't have a 4 round clock.
>>
>>263461
Maybe we could get Zahak and Fulvia to reinforce our soul so we don't bleed away as quickly?
>>
>>263482
>use a copy of chryssa's body
Fuck no. I'd rather be dead than be a degenerate.
>>
>>263479
>>263482

Your not wrong but I hate that you're right.
>>
>>263479
But replicating it and then fixing the strings representing the broken neck is much better.
>>
>>263479
you know... that gives me a thought. If we can replicate Chrys's "fixed neck string", why can't we also replicate her "monstrous strength trait" string? Expend some spare willpower to make mods to our vessel while we're at it before we reconnect the mortal coil.
>>
>>263488
We can always reconstruct it after we're safe and alive
>>
>>263491
To be fair, the issue is that we don't know what strings make up the broken neck, whereas identifying the strings of chryssa's body should be comparatively easy because we know they will be found where the weight of her soul is warping reality.
>>
>>263491
That's the thing Anon. We only know how to reinforce and heal the strings. Direct string manipulation is divine magic, which we haven't unlocked yet.

http://pastebin.com/ibi8j7Md
>Separate from spirits, which once served the gods but do not any longer. Regardless, these most powerful servants which the Gods created possess a form of divine magic. It is akin to enchanting, in that it relies upon directly affecting the strings which bind reality...“The insight you gleaned likely pertained in some way to this form of magic the Children employ. Directly affecting the strings which bind reality without using vys, or the husk. I imagine when this happened you were not physically inside the void, correct?”

We don't have fine string manipulation, so we'll have to go for a straight copy paste.

>>
It occurs to you that you must exert exceptional care in casting your magic in your current state, reduced as you already are and with your husk steadily being stripped away by the ravages of the Gods' creation. Thus as you stride across the sand, leaving a trail of glass in your wake in place of footprints, you harness only a small portion of your power to attempt to repair the shattered form of your corpse.
>Vys Pool: (38/[38])

As your Husk, that aspect of your soul which contains your personality and memories, flows down your right arm and rushes from your fingertips the result is not what you'd expected. You assumed that, as with Water magic cast with vys, it would have no physical manifestation but only an effect. Here it darts towards your own shattered form, an ever-shifting mass as it rips itself apart of flows back together to avoid the strings which bind reality.
>Vys Pool: (33/[33])

You can barely recall how you even got here, or where here even is, but you retain the presence of mind to know you've done something horribly wrong. As your spell reaches your shattered remains it does not start to mend the damage done to the back of your head, nor does it correct the awkward angle at which your neck has broken. Instead it binds itself readily to the fabric of reality where it overlaps with your mortal form and in an instant the corpse has vanished. Where once your body was slumped lifeless, there is nothing. It is a hole in reality, though it does not reveal the black of the void. Rather it is a curious pocket of white mist, as though that portion of this room simply failed to properly form from whatever protean ooze filled the universe before the arrival of the Gods.
>Vys Pool: (28/[28])

Panic sets in, though it's soon countered by relief upon realizing you hadn't been wearing any of your artifacts. They rest by the door, exactly as they were. Still, you cannot puzzle out a reason as to why casting Water magic through the husk would have completely destroyed any evidence of your corpse. You know that when casting with Vys, Water magic seeks to restore the body the model of the body preserved within the soul. That is, to restore the soul's self-image. You assumed that the same would be true when casting with Husk. Perhaps it returned the threads themselves to an earlier state?

So if we're copying Chryssa as a template and somehow succeed that means Mik will become Chryssa-Tier buff, though I wonder if that'll dissipate with rotting-cleaving/self-image healing.

I'm treating this as pass/fail, incidentally.

Now, you've got quite the choice to make. Because this takes place in your realm, it's not going to cost you any vys. Either to manipulate the strings, or to construct the body, or anything of that sort.

However.

You're losing ten husk at the end of this round regardless of what you do. Which means you have every incentive to spend that ten husk instead of letting it go to waste.

So with that in mind.

>Spend 14 husk to turn this into a success. Placing you at (14/[14])
>Don't spend vys, hope that you can come up with another solution. Placing you at (18/[18])

>>263623
Reality fights back against the idea that two separate, distinct groups of strings can be exactly the same. Which is essentially what Mik is trying to do here, and why phylacteries ain't rookie shit.
>>
>>263642
>Don't spend vys, hope that you can come up with another solution. Placing you at (18/[18])
>>
>>263642
>>Spend 14 husk to turn this into a success. Placing you at (14/[14])

OR ALSO GET CHRYSSA IN ON THIS TO SEE IF SHE CAN HELP.

All things considered this wasn't a bad DC. We had ~a 28.3% chance to roll over 50 on a single roll I think?

idk, math people confirm

look into the option of grabbing husk from the companions.
>>
>>263642
>>Spend 14 husk to turn this into a success.
Might as well follow this path. At the least, we'll die freaking out our companions, with our body disappearing and a nonliving clone of Chryssa appearing out of nowhere.
>>
So when this fails or blows up in our face we start leeching Husk from Chryssa and Zahak and call mahanna to bail our ass from the Fire.
>>
>>263642
>>
>>Spend 14 husk to turn this into a success. Placing you at (14/[14])
>>
I do say, this is either the most convoluted way to reincarnate a better body for our soul, or the most convoluted sex-change operation.
>>
>>263633
I don't really conceive of this as a self image thing. It's straight copying one section of the strings onto another section of the strings, which is accomplished with Metal Magic. Basically what you're doing here is manipulating the strings to resemble the ones which pass through Chrys, and then grounding them and making them reality with the use of Husk-based Metal magic.
>>
>>263660
Then why the fuck aren't we getting a bonus from Gm Metal
>>
>>263660
Can we still have her help though. If nothing else an earth GM should be able to prevent creation from rebelling as much as it is. Even a +2 bonus to the roll is pretty huge in terms of husk saved.
>>
>>263660
but the REAL question is, are we a genderbent Chryssa Avci? Or did we trade cock&balls for pussies and tits?
>>
>>263664
we are an exact copy so pussy

You know, shit. That's a fair point actually. I included your GM metal trait but not the bonus from being a GM in Metal.

So let's see, that would make these rolls >>263642
>47, 43, 55

Which still isn't enough for a success, but you'll spend 3 instead of 14. And, that 3 will be absorbed by the ten you're losing anyway. So you'll be at 18/[18] when it's all said and done.
>>
>>263664
We should be an exact copy since our self image doesn't matter, like he said in that post.
Metal magic should help us though, based on what he just said.

Probably more self loathing and guilt than anything else I bet. No actual sadness because Soma obviously can't let Chryssa have some silly emotion like that or anything.

This is fine, everything is going to be alright. You haven't doomed yourself to an untimely demise. Rather, Chryssa has not doomed you to an untimely demise. This is fixable. All of this is fixable. You just need to remain calm and act rationally and logic will guide you to a reasonable solution.

That's what you tell yourself, though your actions do not reflect this calm mentality you try to assert. Instead you latch onto the nearest physical form without serious injury. That form is Chryssa's and in a fit of what is either mad genius or hopeless desperation you begin to shape the fabric of reality to reflect in painfully exact detail every twist, turn, fray, knot, and curve in the threads which run through and around Chryssa. Because by the Gods above, callous and uncaring though they may be, you do not intend to go quietly into Pani's embrace nor Surya's maw.

As your memories flee, you rip some of them the golden husk of your soul and channel them swiftly into the world around you. You can feel the strands fighting harder against your will with each and every passing moment. They rebel against one another, and they rebel against you. Yet you hold them stalwartly in place, for this is your realm and here you are the one who dictates reality.
>Vys Pool: (25/[25])

Your essence binds the fabric together, rooting it in place even as you feel the incessant pull upon that shard at the center of your soul. Pani calls to you, and deep down you know that all you truly wish for is to surrender to her embrace. To let her wash away the pain of this life and birth you anew in the form of another. Yet, there are yet task unfinished and promises unkept. Could you truly justify fleeing from your friends, and from your family? From the promises this life yet holds for you?

The last of your husk seeps into the strands and they snap into sharp definition, an exact clone of Chryssa appearing standing exactly as she is now three feet to the left of the stunned and terrified woman who killed you. At first neither seems aware of the other, then they look simultaneously towards one another and scramble backwards, both falling at the exact same time into the exact same position. They're even dressed in exactly the same manner. It seems as though they are linked together, each one's actions mirroring the other's, but you find picking out the soulless copy from the real Chryssa a simple task. You did, after all, create the replica.
>Vys Pool: (18/[18])

(1/2)
>>
You think yourself safe from the inexorable pull of the afterlife, your continued existence guaranteed even if you will be forced to temporarily assume the form of a mutant degenerate. If what you've read is any indication, it should only be a temporary discomfort. You need only break every bone in your body and rot away every ounce of flesh to once again appear in your original form, your mortal form. Now destroyed, of course. Such a surreal idea.

However, as you attempt to slide fully into Chryssa's mirror image you encounter inordinate difficulty. The body resist you, rejecting the very idea that your soul seems to be the one which ought to inhabit it. As you lift up the replica and hold it still, attempting to exert your metaphysical superiority upon this lifeless, soulless vessel you find that just as the real Chryssa's actions were mirrored by the fake, so too do the events which affect the false copy also affect the real. She hovers in the air some short distance behind you, seemingly for no reason. Would seizing control of this replica destroy also the soul of the real Chryssa?

>A worthwhile sacrifice, if that is the case. Force yourself into the body regardless of cost.

I'm sorta confused

We died and or ghost is slipping away right? And now we are creating a soulless copy of Chryssa to put our soul in before we fade away?

Just remember, folks. I always promised that I'd never kill you due to a roll. I'll only kill you due to bad decisions. Regardless of what happens here, I think we can all agree that I've given you a fair shake.

don't forget to cannibalize Chryssa's husk
>>
>>263816
We'll have 8 vys after this. With Chryssa's husk supply, we'll have enough to persist for one or two more rounds. In retrospect, destroying the only thing keeping Chryssa's shard in her body might be a mistake.

Honestly, I don't feel the need to make you roll for this. Due to the fact that determining the problem is going to be very simple. Literally just entails sinking into a deep enough trance.

Shit, Anon. Thanks for reminding me. She has 39 vys, but only half that amount in husk. Because for each point of husk someone has two points of vys.

That same rule applies to spending husk. IT cost twice the amount to raise the roll by one point that it does when spending vys.

So Mik is actually at 5/[5] after this round.

Soma is trying to rile you up. Chryssa still has quite a bit of husk we can use. We can take six units, or 12 Vys next round to give us one. Then ten, or twenty Vys.

If this is your end, you want to face it with dignity. With the poise and grace befitting a man of your status and your talents. That means you have to be calm even as you feel the warmth of Pani's four arms wrapping gently around your chest, dragging you gently away from this strange realm you find yourself in. You can barely remember who you are, or why you're here. You don't even truly know who this woman is you've replicated. You have but a name and a vague sense of affection for her, no memories of what brought you together or why you don't detest her despite the fact she killed you.

You root yourself to the spot, and forcibly settle the hectic slurry of thoughts rushing through your head. Your surroundings fade, replaced by the flow of vys through the room. Rather, the lack of that usual flow. So saturated is this area with the blood of Surya that it can hardly move at all, sitting static in every corner of the room. You feel an all-encompassing sense of calm as you sink deeper, this white screen replaced instead by the black of the void, dotted only loosely with the illuminating points of light which mark the souls of other living creatures.

An enormous mass of blue clings to a single point of yellow, in a room somewhere to your left. One of the women here with you bears a soul which shines with the same golden hue as your own, but the other possesses nothing more than a plain black shell, unadorned and without the shard of the divine which conveys sentience. You exist as little more but a mass of golden light, moving through the world. At the center rest a gleaming ball of untarnished gold, visible due in large part to the fact that this outermost layer, this outline of the form you inhabit, has been thinned to the point of near nonexistence.
>Vys Pool: (5/[5])

As you try to flow into the form of this replica, this false person, the flawless golden sphere at the center of your form moves slowly forward. It twist and bends space around it, distorting your perception of the world. Yet, you see something odd. At its corners claw fingers of shadow, scraping away slowly at the golden surface. You seek cracks, now that you've a better view of it. They run throughout its length, allowing the brilliant light of your divine shard within to seep through. As it finally reaches the point currently occupied by the empty shell of the replica, something curious happens.

(1/2)
>>
The shell begins to erode, flakes of black stone breaking off. Yet there seems to be a mirrored disturbance within the other woman's soul. The surface ripples chaotically, and the thin golden threads which make up her mind flaring into view as they expand outwards. Distantly you hear her cries, her pleas. You could ignore them. To do so would be a simple task. Yet that remnant of affection nags at you. Do you truly wish to end this woman's life?

Fuck all yall for giving up. Soma isn't gonna end this all from just a sparring event. It's to anticlimactic for all the build up he's been doing. The three stooges are about to lose their favorite toy. Why wouldn't they offer a deal to extend the fun.
>>
You need time, time to formulate and enact some solution to this latest predicament. Time which you unfortunately don't have. Your grip upon reality seems looser with every passing moment, and even if you were not slowly being dragged into Pani's loving embrace you currently lack the power needed to finally and completely resolve this desperate scramble you've put yourself through without killing someone whom you apparently call a friend, though you have little recollection of why that is.

So you resort to the only real option you think you have at this point. You channel what remains of your personality, your memories, into the construction of a spell. Your husk is connected to Chryssa's own, and the surge of power which floods your limbs is immensely gratifying. Even as you feel that foreign presence in your thoughts subside with every fraction of this woman's essence you drain, you know that it will be worth it in the end. Even as her memories plague you, memories of stalking through long grass with a bow in hand in search of prey and of scattered glimpses of the shutters on your sole window to the outside world being slammed shut, you know that this was your own viable option.
>Vys Pool: (24/[24])

You feel reinvigorated, the grasping claws of whatever creatures sought to drag you off into whatever afterlife awaits you have been beaten back momentarily. You sever the connection between your soul and Chryssa's, since you don't wish to drain the entirety of her husk. Instead you allow yourself to sink deeper still into your trance, the threads which bind together reality filtering once again into view. Yet, this time is different. They do not sit still and silent, and nor do they appear as the unerringly straight lengths of gold extending on into infinity above and below you. Instead they are coiled, chaotic things. Threads overlap, they twist together, and they vibrate incessantly to generate an overpowering hum which seems to drown out any conscious thought.

Yet you focus your attention upon one set of strings in particular, a set of strings which has split down the middle. To call them frayed would be an understatement, for they are not frayed. They are broken, and remain bound together only by the barest slivers of material. One extends to your left, binding itself to the empty shell of the replica. The other extends to your right, binding this woman's soul to the mortal coil. You know which one you must sever.

As the final, threadbare string is cut, the empty shell collapses upon itself. As does the soulless body which now hovers limply in thin air. Chryssa has collapsed unconscious onto the floor, her will drained by your desperate attempts to survive just a few moments longer. However, she will eventually recover. This you're quite sure of.

>>264046

>>
>>264047
Did we do it?
>>
Now comes the moment of truth. As you will your soul forward it slides effortlessly into place where that copy of Chryssa's shell once rested. Yet as your consciousness is once more limited by mortal form, you cannot escape an overwhelming sense that something is wrong. This is not your body. You were not meant to inhabit this form. It is imperfect. It is not meant to house your magnificence yet it must.

Your soul seeks to correct these imperfections. It burns away all that is wrong, scorching through strand after strand of the fabric which binds reality only to rebind or rearrange them in ways more suited to its needs. You have little conscious input into this process, so strong is the urge which guides your will. At its conclusion you feel, finally, at home in the body you inhabit. Yet it is not the same body you created.

After your lengthy ordeal, your eyes open at long last. Indeed, they are yours even if they probably don't resemble yours. You stare in disgust at the paleness of your flesh, but the strength contained in every motion is intoxicating. The sheer ability you know inherently you have to shape the world with your bare hands, a man could grow used to this feeling.

Then it strikes you, exactly what you found so odd upon first assuming this form.

You are a man.

there are lots of quest runners on /qst/ who have migrated from other boards and don't know shit about quests
lots of qms from /tg/ have migrated, but lots have stayed on /tg/ as well
and it's not like being from tg means you're a good qm anyways

I haven't really enjoyed any quests in a while. Liked the obvious big ones like HMQ, and Shadow Quest, Mechengineer quest, Aspiring Emperor Quest and the reboot were decent before they went full blown autism. Hero Quest Rena was cute. Bloodquest will always have a special place in my heart, don't think I've ever seen a QM incorporate random asspulls and off the wall anon suggestions as skillfully into a cohesive and coherent narrative like stonerdm. Plus amazingly executed lovecraftian tribute

Bladeborn Retainer Quest seemed promising but the QM apparently has no idea how DCs work (literally have a higher chance of rolling an unnatural 100 than rolling below 50) which basically makes it a freeform RP plus the players are abjectly retarded

The Chrys body we made was female, but when our soul entered the body, it made changes to the Chrys body and turned it into a male version. Chryssa was female all along. Or is she? We'll need to find out via physical check-up while she's unconscious.

Well it's fun for me.
And it would involve some lore wank.
But I'm gonna take a night to sleep on it before committing to anything. Since I'm a little tipsy and very sleepy at the moment.
The one I'm thinking of right now is a trait which represents Mik having gained the attention of a representative of the Gods. Not Surya, not Pani, just the Gods. As a unified force. They would manipulate events such that Mik is more likely to die. Essentially, increasing the difficulty of the quest.

Considering you killed our body from a training roll, and almost killed our spirit, getting a trait like that seems like your being unusually harsh OP.
>>
>>264169
But he HAS to give us a negative trait for the nat 3 haha ;^)
>>
>>264169
well, we legitimately died but our soul refused the natural order of entering the afterlife which disturbed the gods domain. Of course they'd be pissed because we have the know-how and ability to cheat death.
>>
>>264173
No, he can do other things, giving us a training malus for our horns, or making our companions pissed at us.
>>
>>264167
nah man, this is how body hopping works. you mess with primal forces, you get attention of things that know you messed with it that are high up on the celestial order.

i actually wouldn't be surprised that we are on a divine blacklist and the lower teired spirits try to off us to curry favor with the gods.

>>264162
really, i would have thought that you would have had our soul be very loosly attached to whatever it is inhabiting, necessitating us to keep constant attention on it so we don't suddenly leave it.

Who even knows any more. Darzi mad we put ourselves in that situation/mad at Chrys which we'll need to defuse. Mad we went and changed bodies.

Chrys mad we used her husk/mind-raped her/whatever. Even more reason for her to use her anti-magic field.

The others... I dunno, might trigger some of Prof's PTSD knowing we literally died and he couldn't do anything. Zahak would be in the same boat. The rest don't relly matter.
>>
>>264194
>it's practically an invitation from them to us to join them
Yeah you're right actually. Clearly they noticed how well we do under pressure - it's only because reality started tearing itself apart and a giant Void monster tried to kill us that we Ascended.

I expected to wake up to a night of sleep/Meditation and nothing else happening because somathing came up, but this is so much better
>>
>>264199
God I hope not. It would be a huge pain in the ass to deal with party drama ON TOP of having a new body ON TOP of having supernatural hit squads after us from >>264178. Why can't the trait just be something related to the roll we were doing when we crit failed? Or if not that, then at least being less impactful than literally pissing off the gods even more than we pissed off Surya. Something related to the whole reality rebelling or body switching instead.

It just seems like this is going to derail the quest even more than usual in a negative way, all because we rolled a single crit fail on a roll to do some friendly sparring. I just hope Soma proves me wrong.

Oh great, we have to go rape Ayylin now. Like we didn't have enough shit to do already.

After we finish reading Shaping Arts, can we immediately get experimenting with the shell, the self-image and creating bodies?

So who do we tell about this? Our companions, obviously. Karim? The Shah? The priesthood? Demetrios?

Why would they need to know anything? It's magic. Just march on as Mik always has, addressing it only when they forgo tact and choose to bring it up.

We kill chrys because she already knows
>>
>>264162
>>264183
As much as I hate having negativ traits, something like being on the gods' special list or having to work on staying alive fits the story.

>>264125
I understood it like our soul noticed it was in the wrong body and changed the worst problems (wrong sex) but did not change the smaller problems (pale human). I hope that after we rested we can destroy this body and heal back to being a (now probably more ascended) Samjan. Since our self-image is as a Samjan this should be no problem.

>>264356
>>264375
We need a better understanding of anatomy first.

>>264409
Oh shit I forgot about the priestslut, we should still do as this anon >>264415
says. Then go "what? The gods said I got shit to do still," we can make our cult this way with tons of souls to sacrifice to the gods because you know some bullshit messenger will come down and tell us we need to pay to keep living now.

Not as much as Darzi.

This crit was kind of WAAY more serious than any other crit we've had so far.

Like
Crit-fail on playing the oud we get a trait where we're shit at oud. We could work it off given practice
Crit-fail while having sex we accidentally broadcast it to the entire party
Crit-success while resisting the influence of a void being while in front of a gate of Surya we get a trait to help resist mental influence
Crit-success while teaching companions we get a trait to help us teach.

Now this one.

We crit fail during a friendly spar. We literally die. Are now a genderbent member of a different species and are going to have the equivalent of the Gods trying to constantly fuck us over in every possible way for the rest of the quest.

Like what the fuck.
>>
>>264223

>>264536
Soma is tired of running this quest and wants a good excuse to end it.
>>
>>264536
Yeah Soma went a bit overboard. The other options were fine honestly.

Like, getting a permanent malus to melee combat we could work off with enough training (with a person who's trained with horns her whole life no less)? sure

Undoing the progress we made on the clusterfuck that is Chrys' relationship with us/possibly making it worse? Okay I can see that.

But almost ending the quest and then making the gods mark us for death from a single crit fail? A bit excessive.

Sorry if I'm echoing you a bit here, but I needed to vent a bit
>>
>>264566
this, also taking in account the fact that the other two rolls succeeded, it is a tad excessive

Wonder if the communication brooches will work for us as they did previously, since they're blood-activated and we just got new blood.

I can imagine this actually turning out positive, in a way. We really only defied Pani, right? I can imagine we'd get some brownie points with Surya for that. Maybe some of the other Gods appreciate us sticking it to Waterbitch too.

Nope, all gods want Mik dead for being an abomination.

We could pretend that Mik is dead for one, only letting our companions and family know, might be useful for some reason I do not know.
We could just plainly play some jokes on everyone.
We could temporarily abuse our changed appearance to do some things that'd damage our reputation otherwise.

I really did not have anything concrete in mind, hence the half assed possibilities.

No we don't. Water magic is providing fuel for the soul for it to restore its housing. The less you do manually, the better. I doubt advanced anatomical knowledge would hurt, but it's not a prerequisite.

This has been made clear so many times in the quest. Did you even read any of it?

I interpreted that as Mik's own will manipulating his own soul freely. The belt is still a foreign entity.

You've a point though, soul manipulation meditation might let us "allow" the belt to affect us, provided we're able to understand it enough. Or Soma has a good day and says it works anyway because magic.

I still say it's not worth it though. I'd rather give it to Darzi or something.

You know what I don't understand about this trait >>264162 ? Why would this situation be any different than someone cheating death because they created a phylactery like papa dracolich, or they used the phoenix belt. The result is the same: instead of shuffling off this mortal coil, the soul is pulled back into a new body. Why would the gods or whatever other entity take interest in Mik for this circumstance specifically, other than just 1/1000 bad luck.

Man like even killing us is almost too far.

I wrestle and do combatives and I've sparred more than a thousand times. Never even once come close to dieing. An injury or two but that's it. I guess with the super strength it's a little different Mik also has Metal he can reinforce himself with in a split second.

You guys realize that now Mik is literally impossible to destroy right?

Not only can he manipulate reality, but he can drain the husks and vys of those surrounding him to create new bodies to inhabit.

Also we lost the tattoos that prevent reality manipulation. We can travel the void with ease again.
>>
>>265292
the tattoos are part of our soul and they dont have any negative drawbacks.
>>
>>265292
The tattoos don't have any negative effects as of when we gained the Force of Will trait. We did not, however, lose them. The enchantment is a part of our soul and self-image. The reason why we get the bonus from Mark of the Dragon Slayer even in ascended form.

Why do you think Papa Dragon existed until recently as a semi-corporeal pseudo-spirit unable to affect the world in any serious manner? Why do you think the world isn't ruled by an oligarchical society of immortal God-Kings? Why do you think Surya wants Vicitra dead? It's a fairly well established aspect of the setting that the Cosmic Bureaucracy doesn't take kindly to mortals cheating death.

>>265106
Artifact peddlers aren't omniscient, Anon. There are aspects of the setting that even they fail to grasp, though this is true of some more than others. Besides, who's to say that a creature as unbelievable ancient as the merchant in El-Amin doesn't get some sort of twisted satisfaction from misleading young adventurers, or if not misleading them perhaps he thinks to make their lives more interesting? He did, after all, once take Master Karim and Sadik under his wing. No sane man would do such a thing.

>>264536
>the equivalent of the Gods trying to constantly fuck us over in every possible way for the rest of the quest.
Let me put it to you this way, I well and truly enjoy writing this quest. I honestly don't know what else I'd do with the time other than shitpost or play vidya. Neither of which is nearly as fulfilling as running BQ. Do you seriously think that I'd give Mik a trait which guarantees his death, or is it more likely that I'd give him a trait which offers the possibility of more !FUN! down the line?

You're about to be going into an area of the world so saturated with magic, spiritual influence, and divine essence that people believe it's the place where a god died. Not a powerful spirit, not an exceptional Vatis, a literal god. One of the creators of the universe. It's a place where mutants run rampant and where the predominant religion is worship of individual spirits. Where sectarian violence is a way of life. Now, add into this chaotic environment the presence of a creature which claims to represent the Gods, tracking a strange foreigner with no prior attachments. Don't you think the locals, and the 'gods' they worship, would take an interest in such a creature? I'm steering this towards politicking, not inevitable demise.

All that aside, this trait isn't even going to have any mechanical malus. I honestly consider this going easy on you.

>>264566
>Undoing the progress we made on the clusterfuck that is Chrys' relationship with us/possibly making it worse?
I'm honestly about ready to be done with the Chrys drama. I like exploring her character, and this has frankly prevented me from doing so.

>Like, getting a permanent malus to melee combat we could work off with enough training (with a person who's trained with horns her whole life no less)?
Eh, this was a valid option but it just seems boring to me. Besides, who's to say Marked is a permanent condition? You're well aware that you can worm your way back into Surya's good graces by killing yourself or killing Vicitra.
>>
>>265345
>Surya's good graces by killing yourself
That sure solves things. How much harder is the quest going to be with that trait? 50%?
>>
>>265103

Consider this. The natural 3 we rolled was for sparring and its direct consequence was death. Resurrection, on the other hand, was the result of multiple other successful rolls. None of those rolls should result in a crit trait being gained. Based on previous criticals, the natural 3 trait should be related to sparring, dying, or becoming disembodied and the direct consequences of those actions. The act of defying the gods is separate from the critical failure. Based on previous experiences with resurrection, we know Surya feels cheated out of souls stolen from the battlefield. It stands to reason that Pani would feel similarly cheated, insofar as gods can feel.

Based on this, I think that being marked for death by the gods should be something separate from the crit entirely. We should gain a negative trait related to dying shoving our soul into Chryssa's body IN ADDITION to the marked trait. After all, Vicitra didn't roll a natural 3 but Surya still wants him to be sacrificed.
>>
>>265345
>killing Vicitra
Why haven't we done that yet? We don't even need the little shit.
>>
>>265345
This is a pretty good opportunity to end the Chryssa drama once and for all actually. We led her on and rejected her, she killed us. Fair's fair. Now we can move past that and she can help us fix the fact that we put her memories on our hot sweaty soul to not die and also are stuck in a male version of her body.
>>
>>265345

>>
>>265345
Shitposting aside, I think she got over being assblasted once she killed us once.
>>
>>265345
See the thing is !FUN! for you is not fun for. It's suffering. We just wanna git gud and get to elaudia. Not deal with more shenanigans thrown at us.

>>
>>265408
>>265415
It's funny how you think you speak for entire BQ playerbase.
It's also retarded how you think QM'd run the quest if it wasn't fun for him.
>>
>>265396
And dice rolls alone didn't cause death, did they? Dice rolls only caused Mik to be killed, but Mik doesn't die even when you kill him.

Though there was certainly the potential for Mik to die, that entire situation could've been resolved in a single post if certain steps had been taken. At least, I can think of a few methods by which that could have been accomplished. There are probably others I haven't thought of but which are reasonable.

It was the choices made which placed Mik upon death's door, and it was the choices made which ultimately allowed him to leave a flaming bag of shit on said doorstep.

>>265408
>>265415
This probably isn't going to interfere with either gitting gud or getting to Elaudia. The most prominent effect this is going to have on the quest is in the way I construct my random encounter tables. Tables which you probably won't run foul of until you reach Elaudia.

And for the record, I agree that sometimes downtime is necessary. It's important to take a break every now and again. I think, for the most part, I've given you some down time. You've been in Nazir for a few weeks at this point, before that you were in El-Amin for a long, long time relaxing and hosting parties and enjoying time with family. Granted these haven't been entirely peaceful, but y'know. That's been by y'alls choice.

You're also about to enter Majhaya, an enormous temple complex where you'll be surrounded by powerful Vatis and unlikely to face any serious conflict. Although, I DO have certain encounters planned for once you get there. They just won't be combat encounters.

From Majhaya it's three or four days to reach the artifact the Stooges want you to activate, although to some degree that depends on how y'all vote and what y'all do. It'll make sense once we reach that point in the story.

Point is, this isn't some sort of apocalyptic event. You're not going to get dickstabbed by a void assassin in your sleep. I'm even relatively certain that most people will find it enjoyable. I can't be completely sure, but I feel comfortable making that claim.
>>
>>265345
My main concern is just how exactly you end up using it. Devices like this have a tendency of being misused, usually on a near quest ending scale.

It kind of gives us free reign to be fucked over at any turn. Any sense security goes out the window when we know that there's this mysterious outside force directly opposing us behind the scenes(tm).

It's gonna be hanging over us until we get rid of it or at least get into a position where we know we could get it to BTFO if we're in trouble.

Like now people are gonna second guess going to fight X boss or raid Y place. Even though we know we could (probably) do it normally there's now this force that's gonna show up to turn the tide against us whenever we're in trouble.
>>
>>265460

>>
>>265489
This isn't really something that can just make you fail. Mik is still going to rise or fall based upon his own skills and his own determination to accomplish his goals. I dislike the idea, as a QM of stepping in and smacking the players down and saying no, you plans fail and you'll suffer for the foreseeable future. I likewise don't shy away from tossing the whole of my plan for the MC out the window the very instant players vote to go against it.

I would cite my actions after y'all decided not to kill Chryssa's husband as an example of that. I was really looking forward to writing that part of the quest, with the war and the Elves and the Voibardians. Then it was decided to call everything off, and that entire plotline was tossed aside in favor of something else.

>>265492
>>265501
Who knows~

>>265515
Really depends on the size of the dragon I suppose. Like, a hatchling or an adolescent he could probably stomp into the ground. I'd say even in a fight between Mik and Zahak, Mik would come out on top. Zahak is fairly exceptional considering his young age, largely because he's had actual tutoring instead of just being left to figure things out on his own.

A fully grown adult dragon would pose a challenge but considering all that Mik knows I think he'd triumph. In fact, with the right decisions and some decent rolls he could probably stomp a mudhole in their ass. An elder dragon, it's more of a toss up.
>>
>>265345
>I'm honestly about ready to be done with the Chrys drama. I like exploring her character, and this has frankly prevented me from doing so.
So you're saying the Nat 3 effectively destroyed all future social links built with Chrys and guarantees her leaving the party after the Jungle Safari trip.
>>
>>265528

Pretty sure our neck snapped when she threw us by the horns. The torque of the throw and the twist being put into our neck.

Much more likely than a simple impact.
>>
>>265566
And it's nearly impossible to throw someone headfirst by their head. Like think how that would work. More likely for her to throw us cartwheel into the wall.

>>
>>265365
Why do it? So far, the only threat was verbal. We never even got a chance to test out our new skills to the fullest, spirit vs. spirit. The guy who demanded it is an asshole, his boss is an asshole, and Mik is good at doing shit his own way.

>>265408

Fuck off, you yellow-bellied cunts. This was almost exciting for once. Stop punishing the QM for your objectively shitty tastes.
>>
>>265874
You know, it seems like it would be risky, but body swapping could be pretty awesome. Either forcing our soul into someone directly, or making a connected clone and force possessing it would be devastating.
>>
I wonder if you could make some kind of voodoo doll by making a clone of someone. Could you do it from a distance? Maybe by watching them through the scrying prism we have?

If we could, then we could basically kill or control anyone and it would be almost impossible to trace us. You would have to literally observe the strings of reality and pick out the string linking them to the voodoo copy we made.

Can we have Mahana make us 3 new bodies all iron man/fulvia style. With enchantments out the wazoo that only miks soul can inhibit so we can freely change between each. He could make us a human like one and then two pimped out ones that give us super powers
>>
>>266066
Not really, we just have to find out what soul shells are made of. Then we can create them as we see fit and recreate a body around it with regular old healing magic.

Did the black substance that formed into our shell remind anyone else of those black figures in the Metal Codex? You know, the ones who sacrificed themselves to reinforce that one guy who could stare at a god and survive?

What's the plan for our eventual GMs? Nature's still 8 insights away from hitting the GM barrier, but Fire needs only two meditations for us to catch up to Profectus. It'd impress Zahak, which I think everyone's for.

Maybe we can do a dual meditation with Prof. His method's about influencing reality directly, which we already have experience with. It'd also up the bro levels with him, since it's not every day you ascend to a higher mode of existence with someone, dancing around each other like two blazing ripples that echo throughout creation in a divine grapple worthy of the gods themselves.

Or maybe someone has a better idea, I dunno.
>>
>>267400
Sounds pretty cool
>>

Influencing reality directly is definitely the way to go. It complements our metal GM trait and seems quite useful. I wonder if we would get a bonus from doing such a meditation in our spirit realm.

Soma, since Mik's soul is inhabiting a genderbent version of Chryssa's body, doesn't that mean Mik also gets the impossible strength trait as well? Or was that "trait string" burned along with the changes Mik's soul made to make himself comfortable in his new vessel?

He currently possesses the same impossible strength that Chryssa has, but I'm not giving you that trait quite yet. This body doesn't match Mikhael's self image, so if he's injured he'll heal himself to his old form, without the strength.

There might be certain methods by which you could retain certain aspects of your current form, and Mik's self image has been shifted regardless by the events which transpired, but that can wait until next session.

>>267626
I'll add in Zahak's armor to the companions pastebin, meant to do that yesterday but forgot amidst all the Nat 3 shenanigans.

Also yeah, pretty much. I mean... "Word of God" as much as anything in this quest is word of god. I tend to intentionally mislead, misrepresent, and obscure information on a fairly regular basis.

I feel like this has a huge potential that we can exploit in terms of self-re-imaging.

If we can just alter our self image to include super strength we should be able to retain it after healing. Chryssa remains super strong after healing and we have some of Chryssa's memories from taking her husk. If we make certain memories permanent then they ought to help define our self image, so we can use them to keep the super strength.

The ascended form should always shift Mik's self image towards having coal black skin, so I think it makes more sense to get permanent super strength before focusing on appearance. We can get nigger skin back by ascending but we can't get super strength without entering a body that has nothing to do with our self image unless we change it right now.

Boss, didn't Chryssa's bow already have +4 due to being composite, and didn't you say the spirit ivory added 8 to that bonus? Chryssa requested enchantments for the bow to shoot further, hit harder, and be more accurate as well. The spirit ivory was our contribution.
>>
Let me regurgitate my thoughts on gitting stronk, maybe something will stick even though I'm sleep-deprived.

First things first, we gotta examine the strings that make up Mik's current body and put it into the permanent record that is our memory. Really closely too, so we can what does what to some degree.

We can go two ways from there.

1. Clone the body here in the spirit realm like we did with Chrys. Mess about with the strings that make up one of them to change it. Nature should help us make an educated guess there, so we do this with the Crown and the Staff. If we fuck up too badly, well, we have a spare body to roll back to. Oh, and eliminating the shell in the spare body or giving it a few subtle alterations might help us not experience painful transmogrification and bypass the Creation Rebels malus.

2. Recreate our original body. Compare which strings differ. Reshape strings in Mik!body like those from Chrys!body one by one until we tell which group of strings determines muscular structure. This is probably harder, but has way more gains too, since we'd learn about what makes a body tick metaphysically.

Again, Nature helps with this one, I think. For some reason I'm under the impression Nature is what lets you tell strings apart, but I don't remember where I'm getting it from; bits and pieces over several insights I think. Being in our realm helps too, since reality itself is our buttslave here, the strings practically begging to be fondled by Mik.

And finally, both these methods, and probably anything that changes the way a person sees themselves physically, carries a big risk of losing sanity. So decide if this is worth that.

>>267951
We can just melt off our skin, face and ears and regenerate. The internals can stay. It'll be fine as long as we go without having half our body burned down for one fucking day already.
>>
>>267988
I think I bumped the total bonus up to +8 from the inherent properties of the bow augmented as they were by the enchantments to amplify the force with which it fired arrows and the contribution of the spirit ivory. Each adding a +2 individually. The additional +4 is from the fact it shoots what is essentially a bolt of lightning wrapped around an arrow.

I might be getting those proportions backwards, but that's the gist of it.
>>
>>267998
Goddamn that's illegible.

tl;dr: We determine the Stronk Gene via elimination. Also, Shaping Arts OP.
>>
>>267998
I think that keeping super strength is probably a lot simpler, though not necessarily easier, than looking at the strings of reality and trying to locate the ones that define super strength. All we need to do is have our self image include super strength. If we believe our true self to be super strong, then the physical body we are in won't lose the super strength when we burn and heal ourself back to normal.

The tricky part is going about changing our self image. On a high level it seems simple: just believe that we are strong, but obviously doing so is not so easy. I still think the residual husk we stole from Chryssa is the key. Super strength is part of her self image, if we just incorporate that idea from her memories then we should stay super strong as well.

If we did a group meditation with Chryssa and Darzi examining and contrasting the three of our bodies' strings, we could likely narrow down what's related to the super strength and what isn't.

Sounds like a nature meditation too, though I'm a bit worried we're not good enough to pull it off correctly. Wish we were a master, or only one insight away from it.

Gitting gudder at Shaping Arts is likely a good move too.

>>268014
Perhaps if we do weight lifting with a huge rock for an hour before the body-renewal, our self-image will remember that we were able to lift that rock and reform our body in that way. We just have to believe/"know" that the strenght has nothing to do with "ugly pale mutant human body", only with "strong muscles".

Literally the last chapter on Shaping Arts described exactly how to pick out and surgically remove memories, shithead.
>>
>>270130
It said we can cut away parts of the husk to remove a memory. But Husk grows back. We have no idea how to prevent a memory from returning with the Husk.
>>
I've decided Chrys is about 5'11". Since Mik is about 6'7" if I recall correctly and assuming artistic body proportions a 'head' is about 9 inches.
Incidentally, that means Mik is about 8.8 heads tall, meaning that if he was fuckin' ripped his body proportions would be almost in the heroic scale. Granted, he's probably a little more wispy/gangly than he is heroic at the moment.

I'm thinking about adding some sort of vital statistics section to the companions pastebin just to keep track of this sort of shit but I don't know what I'd include besides height and maybe weight.

It explained exact how. Remove husk linked to the memory, snip away strings of that memory, set the remaining husk back in place.
>>

I doubt we'd end up with something actually matching our body well enough. perfect physical replica? Probably. But there's metaphysical bullshit that needs accounting too.

I imagine Soma would give bonuses where appropriate.

Plus It's not like a master is going to stick to one discipline in combat. They're going to use every tool at their disposal to win.
>>

Editing the self image is an advanced technique. Deleting memories is a basic and easy in comparison.
>>
>>270141
Hey Soma, do we get +1 vys for experimentation, since we discovered that copies of people are metaphysically linked by the shell and we discovered a means for resurrection? Or do we need to meditate on this to learn anything.
>>
>>270162
>Weight, hair/eye color, complexion
Well, that's all done. Had to get a little inventive when it came to Zahak
He's getting close to being done growing though, or at least the rate is going to be slowing down drastically since dragons never really stop growing. So I'll probably be updating it one or two more times as it comes up.

>>270281
I don't know if I'd really call this an experiment, it was kinda just Mik doing whatever it took to survive. Usually I require that an experiment be something done intentionally with a well defined structure.

Still, this was a pretty significant discovery. I'll think about it.
>>
>>270281
Shit, this is a good point. This was a hell of an experiment if there ever was one. No way did this not expand our knowledge on metaphysics.

>>270231
There is literally zero experience of that happening. Not only do our memories reassert themselves, not only can we unmake and remake our body back into its old shape in a minute if we feel we're becoming something else, but we can literally make ourselves forget this happened at all.

Stop pretending your reason comes from a logical place. You just want to assert your objectively shitty tastes just because, and you don't realize that this is a huge power-up for us that requires little time and little risk.

We can physically lift and throw horses. We can do the Gregor Clegane one-handed. Our spear thrusts can punch through dragon hide and one sabre swing can easily bisect two people. Anything more would be a GM-tier improvement.
>>
>>270337
>>There is literally zero experience
I meant chance.
>>
>>270307
Considering that alot of great discoveries were the result of messed up experiments, this should count.
>>
>>270337
Well, to be fair, making our old body from scratch will be rather hard since we'd need the strings of reality to be exactly as they were, but have nothing to copy. Even with shaping arts we're not necessarily going to be able to get our old body exactly as it was.

That said, our ascended form has not changed so far as we know and super strength is much more important than immediately looking Samjan. We can always get close enough to normal looking later so it's still stupid to ditch any chance of super strength to look normal again. That +8 will be crazy with Mik's metal bonuses and martial arts skills.
>>
>>270307
The point of experimenting is to take a concept that find something new to take away from as long as there is something to be learned from a scenario regardless of the result. We can get Mik to have flashbacks and find insight to learn from like we did when we tested out using husk to enchant our gunshots in the recent spirit war.

It's not a matter of the discovery itself being accidental or unexpected, it's the fact that there was no intention to perform an experiment. You set out to save your own ass, paying little mind to the possibility of learning something at the end of it all. You did learn something, but I don't know. I think without that intention I can't really justify giving Mik the experimentation vys boost.

I mean, think about previous instances in which I've handed out vys:
>Testing out the Surya's Vice technique.
>Meditating in battle to figure out how one goes about combining elements together
>The first time he disenchanted an artifact
I'm a little hazy on some of those, but if I didn't hand out vys then I probably should've.

If I just handed out vys for every factoid, metaphysical reality, or bit of setting info that Mik stumbled across you'd have hundreds of vys.

Just fucking make a new thread Soma. Don't wait for no reason you huge faggot.
>>
>>270435
Not really, I sort of imagine it as sitting down and sort of exploring every possible facet of some little bit of setting info or mastering a technique. That's another thing you get Experiment vys for, techniques either you invented or learned on your own. Techniques you learn from others don't necessarily grant vys unless you significantly adapt them in some fashion.

That's why Point Offense, if I remember the name correctly, would get a point of vys even though Point Defense is just something you learned from the Varistha.

>>270429
Maybe not just reviewing the memory, but if you tried to recreate what you did based on your memory of the event, in some sort of controlled environment, you'd definitely get vys. Like, I know some people have been thinking about cloning the body Mik is currently in and fucking around with its strings to try and figure out which one corresponds to super strength. Doing so would grant a point of vys regardless of whether the experiment failed or succeeded. Sort of independently of whether it's a good idea or not. Just because it's intentionally setting out to master some little detail of the soul.
>>
>>270460
We're still 6 threads away. That could be like 12 hours.
>>
>>270435
given the nature in which Mik somehow solved the Chryssa clone-body through panic and instinct in ascended state, I'd say Soma's right in the fact that it didn't count as an experiment. Unless we have someone help participate in creating spare bodies and experimenting on "trait string" selection.
>>
>>270409
How is what Mik did this time different than the first time he disenchanted an artifact?

Starting from the point that he'd melted his old body, his new goal was to create a new body to inhabit. To that end, he worked towards it with deliberation and intention through multiple steps. First, testing the hypothesis of his ability to replicate a body on hand, then working through the challenges inherent in a perfect replication, before ultimately succeeding in inhabiting a mortal form through a combination of critical thought and magical might.

>>
>>270492
>>270464
We still have to keep in mind of having a fail-safe mechanism incase something goes clearly wrong. As far as I can tell, much of our experimentation might involve the soul leaving the body and entering ascension state for string manipulation, or we can spend days in deep trance meditation in our mortal coil just to figure things out.
>>
>>270477
>How is what Mik did this time different than the first time he disenchanted an artifact?
Well, Red Hoe. It's different in that at no point did Mik really stop to consider the implications of what he was doing, or what the next step should be. He was just sort of hopping around in total panic doing whatever seemed like it might work.

>>270492
