OH SHIT-! You and 2-5 other faggots across the globe have been caught in a tragic combine harvester accident at the exact same time. The only thing any of you have in common is that you're 4chan posters, happen to browse /qst/, and are in this together. You're in luck because the God of Chaos has burned through his anime backlog and thinks watching you chucklefucks stumble around in fantasyland is the next best thing. To make sure that you don't die immediately, he plans to give you a choice but first he wants to know what he's gotten himself into.

Stat YOURSELF by rating your stats and any skills you have on a sliding scale. Minuscule is barely there, Weak is shit-tier, Low is pathetic, Below Average is meh-tier, Average is average, Above Average is noticeable, High is impressive, and Exceptional is badass. In skills, Average is a normal professional, and everyone is Minuscule in skill unless they practice. The ten stats are Strength (lifting), Toughness (tanking), Willpower (mind over matter), Dexterity (hands), Agility (everywhere else), Reflex (speed), Intelligence (learning), Intuition (gut feeling), Wisdom (common sense), and Charisma (smooth talking). The skills are infinite and depend on whatever you personally know.

Last, determine your Strengths and Weaknesses. These don't have a sliding scale they're there or they're not. Any talents, positive attributes, or negative shortcomings belong here. If you are a 9/10 on a bad day that's a Strength, if you are terrified of bright noises that's a Weakness. Each gives a bonus or penalty to specific actions. List as many as you think you have. That's it for the first stage of the two-part intro.

The more honest you are statting yourself, the more fun this is going to be. As many anons that want to join in can, but the more there are the more dangerous your start will be. I'll leave this here for two days, if you want to play make a statsheet.

Strengths

Fool: You are a complete and utter dumbass who's skills make one question how you've been able to live for so long. Somehow you're still alive, as if the world itself bends in a way that you don't instantly die horribly.

Citizen of the internet: You are considered to have Below average knowledge skill in pretty much everything except the most esoteric and vague topics. This sometimes backfires as this is mostly information you learned browsing the internet or reading light novels which COULD be bullshit but whatever,

The most depraved/nutless clarity: Due to your time in the darkest parts of the internet, normal women pretty much don't do it for you. Anybody trying to seduce you gains a massive penalty and you find it hard to romantically or sexually be attracted to people.

Weaknesses


Bored now/I'll do it later: You find it hard to actually focus on something for an extended period of time. Generally you start multiple projects or read multiple stories, become bored mid way then say you're going to do later but a year passes and you figure it's pretty much too late.

Partially Sociopathic, Fully Autistic: You're REALLY bad at talking to people. Generally you can fake short term interactions, even seem charming however the longer you spend time with people the longer your awkward silences between each other lasts, the longer people realize there's something not exactly "right" about you. You also have a tendency to spout innocently inappropriate phrases that are either rapey, racist or straight savage.

Didn't think that through: A lot of times you do incredibly stupid shit that seemed like a good idea at the time. Generally with your luck you actually succeed for the first half before your realize maybe mixing dangerous chemicals in your house because you wanted to see if your amazon gas mask worked was a bad idea.

Strengths

Lady Luck: For some reason, things just work out for you in the end. Even at you're lowest there always a chance to turn things around and make it back on top.

Passionate Madman: Whenever you're motivated, you find yourself going past the distance and making the impossible possible. When you set your mind on to something or get in the mood, there's no limit to what you can achieve.

It's Showtime: Whenever you commit to an identity you find yourself immersed in the act. Up to the point where you're able to perfectly perform the role your current disguise demands of you.

Weaknesses

Sadistic Savant: You have an unfortunate habit of getting into situations where you show your more destructive side. Be it a fight or sporting of dominance, you are always feeling the need to release the beast.

Narcolepsy: At the worst or unexpected of times you have a habit of falling asleep. Otherwise, when not motivated you feel frequently empty and disinterested.

Androgynous: Because of your appearance you're often mistaken for another gender. More incline to get involved with wacky hijinks in regard to gender-bend slapstick on the dime.

All around you lies an empty darkness that manages to be impossibly vast and crushingly claustrophobic at the same time. There is no sense of direction or sanity here, only anticipation of adventures to come and the idle amusements of primordial madness. For a moment, each wonder what lies in the shadows but a momentary glimpse of true horror quells your curiosity. A voice gurgles, squelching with mirth at its newfound visitors.

Weaknesses


Did I do that?: has a tendency to be impulsive. Will do or say things without thinking about it. Can be for the better in some situations.

Careless: tends to look at the whole picture and not the small details. This causes careless, simple mistakes. Did I forget to turn the oven off?

Information floods into your minds as a series of options appears before you. The first seems to be a series of classic archetypes and the second, a numbered list of short titles for something you can't help but wonder.

> CLASSES:
> Warrior - A mundane master of martial combat, you receive a significant boost to your Strength and Toughness and are considered to have High skill in every weapon and armour you choose to wield.
> Rogue - An accomplished savant of subterfuge and guile, you receive a boost to your Agility and Dexterity and are considered to have High skill in both sneaking and the arts of thieving, lockpicking, and pickpocketing.
> Sorcerer - A magic user tapping into your own mind, you may attempt to visualise spells and cast them in accordance to your imagination. Sorcery is fickle and often backfires or works in unexpected ways.
> Priest - A champion of a deity of your choice, you may invoke them to lend you miraculous aid from above or below. Your deity doesn’t always answer and members of rival religions shall hate or shun you.

> CHEATS:
> 1) Brick Phone
> 2) The Time Anon Reincarnated as a Monster!
> 3) Cosmic Vending Machine
> 4) [Catch Phrase]
> 5) Edgelord
> 6) Moneychanger
> 7) Chaos Factor
> 8) Sweet Ride
> 9) Death Count
> 10) Harem Protag
> 11) True Sight
> 12) A E S T H E T I C
> 13) Anonymous
> 14) [Make a Stand]
> 15) Strange Aeons
> 16) Omae wa mou shindeiru
> 17) Vice/Virtue
> 18) After-Effect
> 19) Electric Conduit
> 20) Dragon Soul

More knowledge enters your psyche, and the potential options are revealed to you. You may choose a class, guaranteed to grant great power and eventually supernatural competency in its specialty and roll a single d20 on the Isekai cheat chart for a boon ranging from mediocre to gamebreaking, you can decide not to take a class and roll dual d20s on the Isekai cheat chart, or you can refuse to roll on the Isekai cheat chart and gain access to a specialty subclass straight away. Each available class is only at its starting point. Alternatively if you are a big-dicked megachad you can refuse to take any class or cheat power, and make you accomplishments that much more impressive.

>>3909073
>"YOU HAVE TO PUT "dice+1d20" IN THE OPTIONS FIELD!"

>>3909072
>"NO, BUT YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY ENOUGH OF THAT!"

You feel your soul shear into two as your subconscious manifests into a form of your choosing and you gain the innate knowledge of how to access a trove of potentially infinite bounty.

> (14) [Make a Stand] You have your own Stand, as seen in Jojo’s bizarre adventure. This can be customised as you see fit, but can’t wield powers over space or time. It starts at E in everything but Developmental Potential and grows stronger over time. Magic users and other Isekai victims can sense it.
> (3) Cosmic Vending Machine You and only you can access a cosmic vending machine that can take any object or currency and exchange it for a random item exactly identical in value. The item is summoned from across the multiverse and impossible to predict.

>>3909082
>"SORCERY, ALWAYS A GOOD CHOICE! AHHH, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!"

You sense your coordination double, no, triples and you instinctively shift into a combative stance that feels more comfortable than any other posture. This isn't an innate improvement, you grasp, but the result of instant mastery of a supernatural skill that at the moment, only you know.

> (16) Omae wa mou shindeiru You are a master of a hyperlethal martial art unique to you, specialising in a specific kind of kill, counter, and takedown determined by you. You can teach this to others but it will take time. This doesn’t necessarily give you the physical fitness to use it to its full potential, but it does provide the motivation to get there.

>>3909090
>"NO! BOTH DICE COUNT AS CHEATS THAT ARE ACTIVE 24/7! IF YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE RULES AND WANT TO CHOOSE A CLASS, YOU CAN FLIP A COIN BETWEEN BOTH OF YOUR ROLLS, OTHERWISE YOU SHALL KEEP THEM! BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION YOU SHOULD KNOW, THESE AREN'T BAD, BUT THEY'RE MORE UTILITY FOCUSED THAN THE OTHERS!"

>>3909092
>"I AM UNSURPRISED AT YOUR CHOICE!"

You feel your pocket grow much heavier, and when you reach inside, you pull out what seems to be a brick with a screen and primitive keyboard. Instinctively, you understand this is far more than it seems.

>(1) Brick Phone You possess a nokia heavy enough to crack a skull. It is indestructible, needs no charge, and needs no maintenance. If you know any being’s name, you can call them to have a conversation that they cannot trace, at any time. They don’t have to answer.

>>3909136
>"AN EXCELLENT CHOICE! YOU COULD BE A SAGE IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE IF YOU SO WISHED!"

You pause as something deep within changes. In one moment, the sense of who you are is confined to you and you alone, and so detached from the idle lies of the cosmos, the truth of reality is open to you.

> (13) Anonymous You are impossible to remember when you’ve left someone’s sight, you can’t be recorded in any way, and you leave no evidence of your existence. This doesn’t apply to other Isekai victims. In addition, you can still post on 4chan but trying to prove you’ve been Isekai’d will get you laughed at.
> (11) True Sight You can see, smell, feel, hear, and touch everything exactly as it is, your five senses are perfected, and it is impossible for someone to lie or hide their intentions from you. Lying leaves the taste of bubbling soap in your mouth.

This is going to be such a clusterfuck, and Mythic's scene-building dice won't help matters. If it slogs down from too many players not participating, I'll automate anyone absent following the lead of everyone actively posting in the background. Surprisingly balanced party, barring the fact that there isn't a priest yet.

1 Rogue, 2 Stand Users, one a Warrior and the other a /d/eviant with the keys to a cosmic vending machine, 3 Sorcerers, one an Imp, another a kungfu master, and the third a Wizard, all topped off by a faceless sportsman with perfect perception, an indestructible brick phone with infallible reception, and not a single dedicated priest. Not even counting what comes up tomorrow. This'll be a beautiful clusterfuck.

I don't know yet, I'll be running this with the Mythic RPG, which randomises scenes, characters, and has a quite lethal nifty combat system. Knowledge of your name and face is fundamentally impossible for anything short of an elder god and even then it's only vague, but the rest of the players aren't effected in the slightest and you can always develop an indirect persona.

Being invisible in plain sight comes effortlessly, and trying to be inconspicuous exponentially improves the effect. Ignoring violence, illegal actions, or presence somewhere that you are most certainly not allowed, you can expect to be overlooked with all of the advantages that confers. The Anonymous Cheat is essentially Terry's Moot on a cocktail of black tar heroin and PCP. Though you don't have his thief skills or improved Agility and Dexterity, or the supernatural power or outright combative skill of the others, your High Strength helps bridge the gap and you're useful in a plethora of other ways.

Asking 4chan for advice is something you can do in-character.


>>3909494
Because [Dr. Stone] is so extremely broad in scope, he'll start out weak as shit but in a century or two of grinding to his full potential, he'll be able to borderline, if not outright warp reality. Antimagic has an extremely reduced effect on Stands, because they're psychic, not magic. Also, what does [Dr. Stone] look like? I'll give your question an in-character response tomorrow. If there isn't some HEAVY amounts of Chaotic corruption specifically channeled to invoke him or a devout priest sacrificing something of immense value, Kek won't be making any more appearances outside of the background.

"Fortunately, we're autists with a basic awareness of fantasy tropes at the very least. First thing we need to do is check for an adventurer's guild, that's how all these things start right? They can at least get us some basic kit and a place to sleep."

You say that like I don't know an all around E stand would be weak in direct combat but you forget having a mostly invisible entity who's rules change depending on whatever the OTHER Bizarre god feels like can be abused in plenty of ways if you're creative enough. Mix a magical vending machine that eats anything you can pick up and you've got the greatest thief and fence combo. "

Strengths:

Under Pressure: When things are down to the wire you always seem to be composed and confident where others bend and break.

Crunch Time: You're at your best when things are at their worst. All checks are easier when calamity looms.

Born to Run: The result of one of a rare few commitments, short bursts of incredible speed and endless charges across the land are possible. Terrain and encumbrance are meaningless in the face of your lust for speed.

Weaknesses:

Can't be Assed: You find it incredibly difficult to commit yourself to tasks you don't enjoy, even if they would take little effort to complete.

Intense Presence: Your stoic demeanor and curt manner of speaking paired with strongly held convictions make people unfamiliar with you anxious or even fearful.

Hard to Read: Your constant deadpan makes you difficult to understand, often leading to misunderstandings.

Give me Warrior and a Roulette.

You pause, tendons flexing as the vision of a tally appears in your mind. Currently, it is at [0] but the urge to see it rise is undeniable. Another, sixth sense comes over your psyche, it is predatory, looming over all you see and terrifying in its cunning. The darkness around you seems more impenetrable than before, no mortal blade could hope to pierce it but perhaps...

>(9) Death Count You have a perfect count of every kill you have made organised as you please, and an instinctive understanding of everything you encounter’s weaknesses on every level physical, mental, and spiritual. This applies to people and their psychology.

Each of you stand in the space between realms, discussing your plans and steeling yourselves for the trials to come. Just when sinking dread has begun to replace their anticipation, they hear a loud popping noise and stumble onto the ground as a new reality snaps into place around them. It is freezing cold and the snow is almost closer to ice but each find themselves wearing gloves, fur scarves, and thick cloaks over their clothes. On their backs are primitive satchels that, when examined, reveal a week's worth of beef jerky, hard cheese, crackers, waterskins, and not much else.

It's the middle of the night. The warriors, Jake Black and Chase Kanoy find a crudely forged rusted shortsword, war-axe, or mace as is their preference, along with a buckler comprised of several stained and splintery boards nailed together with a strap handle. The two sorcerers find that they have a flimsy, cracked wand an eighth grader could've put together in woodworking class, but their wizard counterpart finds that in addition to his wand, he has an appropriately pointy hat. Terry Ellington has a sharp but well-worn copper dagger sheathed at his side, and Miracle Diedonne has a catholic bible and wooden crucifix.

Everyone else is shit out of luck. You turn to one another and begin to discuss, when a loud, feminine screaming attracts your attention from the forest to the center of a wide clearing, where a stone temple stands and around fifty walking corpses gnash their teeth. Most of them are zombies in peasant's rags, the majority of them fresh and exhibiting evidence of blunt trauma, but a handful stand with some measure of intelligence, clutching rusted hatchets and hammers no better than your own tools.

These, the more savvy among you recognize are wights and the screaming came from the center of the horde, near the temple's door. One of them is clutching the hair of a younger woman in red-fringed white robes, who continues shouting. "Y-you're desecrating a holy temple! The Adventurer's Guild will hear about this, and when they do-!"

>*SMACK*

The connection of the backhand is audible, and the snarling moreso. "Silence, whore! Your flock will join our ranks and when the master returns, he will have his due!" Another in solid white robes, this one a man forced on his knees speaks out. "Blasphemer! The three-pronged scepter of martyr's mourning is holy, and you can't ever corru-"

>*WH*CHK*

The brave man's falls dead as the wight rips his hatchet out. Numb, the priestess stares at the corpse and the handful of survivors shiver, but not from the cold. The wight leading them howls above the din. "SEARCH THE REST OF THE GODDESSES' TEMPLE AND PUT THEIR FALSE SCROLLS TO THE BLACK TORCH! YREDELEMNUL DEMANDS IT!"

As far as you know, the mass of undead stumbling into the temple are unaware that you're here but there's no way they won't find out soon enough.

> What do you want to do?
>>
>>3910214
“Black torch huh? That sounds interesting I’ll have to snag one of those if I get the chance. So aside from Miracle and myself who wants to retrieve our tour guide?”
>>
>>3910214
"Smaller horde than I thought but still wayy too much for us."

"Virgin can you set up a barrier to at least slow them down from entering rhe temple"

"Somebody should go inside to make contact with the temple. I suggest new guy and Terry since Terry has the phone. Maybe new guy can take as many warriors as he can into the temple. Some of us should stay here with a call on to monitor the situation and coordinate a counter attack...."

"...That or cut our losses and run"
>>
>>3910173
You don't have to, but without a dedicated effort it's closer to a heat handwarmer than a proper campfire.

>>3910187
You're in the middle of a coniferous forest and there's an abundance of things you could burn, once you've spread out the snow.

>>3910188
As a Sorcerer, you can attempt to cast fire magic regardless. As an Imp, no, no you do not but you can eat, sleep, and bundle up for the fun of it.

>>3910211
There are no slots. You can dive in as an extremely late comer, if you wish to.
>>
>>3910221
"New plan I think. We need to bide our time. If they haven't killed the priestess yet then we can wait but trying to save her now is suicide."

"Virgin or somebody needs to cast false life or something to keep us hidden too before the undead start sensing us."
>>
Forget to mention, both Warriors have had their Strength and Toughness boosted to High, as the only Rogue of the party, Terry's Dexterity and Agility have both received the same enhancement.
>>
>>3910224
Nah. This is already gonna be a hilarious mess without me so I'll stick as a lurker for now
>>
>>3910226
"Yeah, get that rolling. We can take cover in the woods while the sneaky guys try and get a feel for our exact circumstance. Worst case we can probably fight them better in the tree cover anyway, undead aren't smart enough to deal with that."
>>3910214
>Jake will take a shortsword, it's close enough to what he's familiar with.
>He'll try to see if there's any nearby snowbank the group can take cover behind, maybe fool the undead into thinking they're a herd of deer if all they're going off is life sense.

I will take up a stilleto(basically a shortsword but stabbier) and strap the shield to my left arm. Using my ability, how can I kill these zombies effectively?
>>
>>3910222
>>3910226
Knowing how this works, I doubt they’ll kill her, at least not anytime soon. The horde views the rest as disposable but they’re keeping her around. Judging by the pleasant conversation we just witnessed I think the horse will entrench themselves here until the grave knight comes back.”

You sense that Radiant and Holy damage is extremely effective against the undead and that against them, Fire is the most effective of the primary elements. They don't feel pain, fear, or mercy and they want to consume your life force, which is the energy the soul produces to keep living bodies functioning. Undead are resilient toward mundane damage but blunt, disabling attacks are the most effective.

To destroy the zombies, you need to either banish the negative energy filling their bodies, or render even their bodies incapable of functioning. Because you aren't a Priest or Necromancer, you would have to destroy the brainstem. The neck is a more ideal target than the skull, this would run true even if you were wielding a mace.

"I suggest a plan: We make some noise or do something to lure a large amount of undead outside, they aren't exactly smart, I will then attempt to call upon St. Michael's help and they will hopefully answer. If the first part works then what we will do is essentially rush the temple, our warriors will good at that. If any of you get hurt either me or the temple's staff will try to heal you."
"Does this sound like a good plan? I'm trying my best."
>>
>>3910275
"Sure go ahead. It'll be funny seeing you and the two warriors get mauled by a zombie horde. Honestly if you wanna lure some of them away just cast heal or bless on a rock. The life energy'll attract them."

"I would probably go with that if we were dealing with mindless undead rather than these Wight commanders. We'll need to look at this as a more conventional engagement.

"You're still thinking wayy too conventional and optimistic Chase. More than half of the group would be a liability in a combat environment especially sneak attacks and especially in such an open area where we can get run down by the Knight or the non-stamina needing undead."

"For shits and giggles I kinda want to defend in the temple and set it to burn but that's just me. Personally I'm in the wait and see or sneak into the temple camp."
>>
>>3910295
"Tactically speaking, we should be at an advantage for as long as their leader doesn't notice our presence. If we can pick off stragglers one by one we shouldn't have as much trouble as compared to an all-out confrontation."

Wights are similar to zombies but managed to hold onto some of their memories and intelligence from life, though these are hell-bent toward killing as many of the living as possible. They have much more negative energy than zombies, allowing them to directly drain the life force of those they attack and use it to fuel the recovery of their wounds. Wights can animate corpses into crude zombies and skeletons, though never more than 1-5 a day, depending on the age and strength of the wight. They find sunlight mildly painful and magical sources of light are irritating.

Each is capable of giving simple "one-word" commands to lesser undead but otherwise can't direct them. You sense the zombies sifting through the temple are operating from the search command. Beyond that, you don't know, wights are as varied in tactics as living generals but given their usual followers and tendency toward low intelligence, tend to be straightforward.

“I’m all for scouting, the new guy looks out of it though. I’m going to need a bit of insurance if I’m scouting the whole temple solo.”
>>
>>3910304
So I know that I can ask questions of this nature but while I'm in combat can I do actions to the effect of "I cut the strap of his armor with it to fall apart" or "I charge forward to exploit an opening in his guard"? Basically just more micro uses of the power to add to a normal action.

Realising the importance of not being seen, Jake tries to find somewhere to hide and soon sees it, behind a small hill covered in snow. He sneaks over to the embankment and takes cover from the sight of the undead, along with most of the others, who see no reason not to.

Focusing his intellect and harnessing his will, Lie does his best to shroud himself and his party in a mystical veil but can't clearly visualise something so esoteric with so little experience to operate with.

At the same time, Alex tries to shroud the group and succeeds- in channeling a mystic covering that blocks his life force from their senses. It'll last around thirty minutes but unfortunately, only effects him.

David grows bored of waiting for something to happen, and throws three day's worth of rations into the Cosmic Vending Machine, with an inaudible *CH-UNK* sound inside his head. Five seconds later, a pair of locked modern handcuffs and an uneaten glazed donut appear in his hands. He gets the sense that he has simultaneously ruined and vastly improved someone's day.

Miracle is slightly enthralled by the vision he is given and commits it to memory as fast as possible.
"I have gained a divine vision of The Death Knight's location. I will attempt to estimate his distance from us along with average speed to calculate how much time we have left to escape. In the mean time help Terry escape with the priestess and help Chase escape from the zombies.

Undead are weak to fire, right? Or does that just make them into Flaming Undead? Either way, I imagine I would probably give away our location if I dealt with them that way.

Instead I use support magic to buff Terry and Chase. (unless direct intervention proves necessary)

Ever bold, Chase sees no reason to wait and tries to sneak into the temple, either to rescue the priestess or ambush the wights. He would've managed it, too, if he didn't snap a twig with his foot and catch the attention of four undead milling on the fringes. Each groans and starts shambling through the snow, while he stands and readies his shield and blade. They feel comfortable in his hands, like he's wielded them for years.

Slightly annoyed at the sight of this farce to the thief's art, Terry resolves to do it himself and, filled with sudden understanding of how and how not to move, sneaks through the scattered undead so skillfully it's as if he's a ghost. The priestess stares at him with wordless gratitude, and clings to his wrist as they return to the forest. The rest of the cultists understand the difficulties, and are content to remain until they can be rescued or if need be, martyred. As soon as the two reach the treeline, the priestess breaks down and collapses onto the snow, babbling and weeping "Thankyouthankyouthankyou sosososo m-m-much, theyjust- theyjust... there were so many of them, they just-... they just..." She's been severely traumatised and someone will have to knock her out of it to get anything else.

Among the Heavenly Host, far from the debacle at this pagan temple, the Archangel sees his foremost follower in that world is in need, and sends him a vision. Miracle's eyes widen as he catches sight of a massive skeleton in plate armour, menacing with spikes and clutching a golden staff with a triumphant leer. Not much else is visible, but he catches sight of a skeletal horse riding that he thinks is riding away from their current location. Focusing, he hears the grave-knight cackle.

>"NYEHEHEHEHEH! SOON, THE KINGDOM SHALL BE MINE!"

The vision then fades, and lucidity returns.

You can attempt called shots without issue, but Death Count doesn't necessarily improve your ability to make them, only your knowledge of how to do so. For example, it would reveal the chink in a knight's armour, but on its own, it wouldn't make it any easier to pierce it. That's what your innate skills are for.

Terry asks the Priestess if she'd like to accompany him back out of the trees, but she stares at him as if has grown a second head, then shakes hers. "N-no, nononotoutthere." Shrugging his shoulders, he strides out to the snow in a leisurely jog, waves his hand, and entices two of the zombies to chase him. They fail to come within two arm's reaches as the nimble rogue strolls backward, somewhat enjoying himself.

David hands the handcuffs to [Dr. Stone] expecting him to fumble with their lock but after ten seconds of tinkering with the mechanism, he drops it in his lap. Huh, they really are manifestations of the subconsciousness. Noticing the Priestess stumbling into their hiding spot, he motions for [Dr. Stone] to get out of sight but senses he's already taken the initiative of phasing into a tree trunk.

Lie Alius decides to put his wizardry to proper use, and easily, almost trivially manages to summon a pair of flimsy but functional forcefields which then wrap around Terry and Chase alike. Not so bad for a second spell, if he does say so himself.

Staring into the first zombie's milk-white eyes, he feels almost as if time slows and he is dancing. A snap of his wrist part's the undead's adam's apple and shatters its spine, whipping back out to slash the second that, by a stroke of luck, stumbles under his attack! It staggers forth to rip into his throat but his reflexes prove their worth and he steps to the side, sinking the stiletto into the back of its neck in a single smooth motion.

Wow. You've become a fucking badass.

Jake does his best to calm down the priestess, but she ignores him completely in favour of huddling to a ball and sobbing. The rest can hear her voice crack and some cringe in sympathy, but taking the initiative, David throws his cloak over her shoulders. It's freezing without it but she seems to quiet and loosen a little. His generous offer of a canteen does nothing to better the situation.

As the others stumble over themselves to comfort the priestess, he stifles a chuckle and decides to laugh to himself later. Miracle prays to the Saint Michael for a miracle of healing and receives it, in the form of a gentle warmth that fills his body and exits his palms into her, on the priestess's shoulder beneath the cloak. For a minute longer she stays still, then raises her head. "M-my name is M-miyashita Emiya and I-I am a humble- w-was... a h-humble hearthkeeper of Elivylon, the maiden goddess of healing." The priestess gives a smile that doesn't reach her terrified eyes, but the gratitude is plain in her voice. "W-who are you heroes? I-I don't see any badges of the Adventurer's Guild..."

"Miracle, I know you're excited about being a cleric but you shouldn't being going all Old Testament on us right out of the gate."

I did not mean to destroy the temple.
But that doesn’t change anything.
>>
>>3910846
Praying too often, for something too trivial, or at a bad time has ruinous consequences to the beseecher and most of the time when miracles do come they're subtle. Miracle already had the attention of his patron deity, the temple was built in the name of an opposing religion, filled with unholy abominations, a dozen lives were on the line, and he lucked the fuck out with the rolls.

Thinking fast, Jake explains that they're pilgrims who heard of the temple and came to see it. This brings a brief smile to the priestess, "Oh, I'm humbled! Oho-oh, if only the three-pronged scepter of martyr's mourning wasn't stolen before you arrived... It's such a quiet, sacred place and with the holy staff on the altar-"

David tunes out Miyashita's gushing of the temple and focuses on the fight in progress. Chase moves with impressive finesse, dispatching corpse after corpse with the practiced ease of a trained duelist, if not a master. He senses that by the way he moves, there's something more to his method than skill alone. This could be the result of that cheat the frog mentioned, 'Counter of Death,' wasn't it?

Terry decides to bring a fresh batch of corpses over to Chase, who seems to be having a good time. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on perspective, the swift movement draws eight more to start scrambling to tear the flesh from his bones! Though he's quick on his feet and manages to evade the clumsy fools quite handily, the sight of the warrior face-planting and getting tackled by the pair he's preoccupied with gets their undivided attention. They'll be there in less than a minute's time. Oh shit.

Chase lunges to execute a zombie in what would've been a perfect strike, if his ankle didn't get caught in a buried root and slam him onto the ground. Both of the corpses collapse over themselves biting at his neck and shoulders, but the shield the wizard put in place keeps their teeth from sinking in as he rolls out from under them, stands, and brings his blade down in two skull-splitting blows. He groans from no emotion but surprise as the skin on the back of his right hand is blackened by ink in the shape of a Roman IV. Sick. The shield however, dissipates without a trace and eight more are moving in from three angles. Fuck.

Never one to let the opportunity to interject sarcasm, Lie tells Miyashita the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. She stares at him in mild shock, before turning away as Miracle asks whether she could help them. The priestess sighs as if in apology, "The f-followers of Elyvilon are no warriors, but I'll do what I can to mend your wounds." He nods, expecting such an answer and turns to the temple. A strange serenity comes over him as he raises his hands in a prayer of deliverance to the Archangel.

Moments later, the ground seems to shake beneath his feet, until he opens his eyes and realises that the ground is actually shaking. A rumbling can be heard in the distance, getting louder and louder by the moment until an ear-splitting crack sounds over the din. Everyone stares in mild confusion before the ground beneath the temple shatters and the peaceful shrine to healing that has stood for nearly a century plummets to the bottom of the chasm. It's gone, and the only things that remain are the huddled worshipers in front and the doorframe, which remains intact.

>cont.
>>
>>3911009
No-one can quite believe their eyes, even the fifteen zombies left stare transfixed. The priestess is the first to come to her senses and she climbs to the top of the hill, stares at the scene of devastation, and draws the cloak tighter, trembling. "Y-you're not really pilgrims, are you?"

First of all, yes we're lurking, usually I keep my name as AnonKnight when I participate in a quest I like and hope lasts for a while so you'll know it's me.
Secondly, it's in my own opinion that there are 3 choices for other anons joining. Option 1 is that the setting that OP comes up with just has the right opportunity for someone to jump in like you all end up finding someone that the Death Knight has been experimenting on or about to convert into a special undead or something. Option 2 is one of yall might die and OP will allow someone to take up his place during a checkpoint like recruiting someone from a tavern so that OP doesn't burn out from managing a huge number of people. Option 3 is that everyone is this quest dies and that sets up Multiplayer Isekai Quest #2 with another rotation of characters and a different setting.
Finally, I would like advice on how you all did your characters cause I legit do not know how to make one even when OP gave us a template in the beginning.

Feel free to clarify whatever I said or missed OP. If I haven't said it before, I'll say it again. I'm enjoying this quest immensely. xD
>>
>>3910893
Of course the grave-knight's dead, but he is reanimated and intact. At the moment he's half an hour's ride away but the sound of an earthquake and sudden loss of almost forty undead has certainly caught his attention. There's an even 50/50 chance he's going to ride back and investigate for himself or cut his losses and hoof it while he can.

You sense that there are several different kinds of reanimated knight, this in particular is a grave-knight, a powerful necromantic warrior risen to do battle by the decree of a dark god. In this case, Yredelemnul. They are essentially wights but better in every way, possessing strength and durability at least five times what they had in life, necromancy to match a sorcerer, and a handful of innate abilities, most notably, animating any corpses in sight, absorbing life force to heal themselves or hurt their foes, and with intense focus and exhaustion, mirroring the wounds inflicted on them to reflect half of the damage they suffer to their opponents.

You reason that if you were to fight the grave-knight, your best chance would be at a distance with a small battalion of archers firing blessed arrows and at least one priest banishing the negative energy, preferably with a sorcerer bringing down as many destructive spells as possible. Failing that, catching him by surprise before he can activate his mirror ability is ideal.


>>3910901
As a priest, you have the authority of your patron and can channel their will to accomplish a handful of effects related to their portfolio. Your patron presides over opposition to the unholy, the weighing of souls, and the protection of the church. This grants you the ability to banish unholy entities, convict the wicked, and heal your allies though this is less effective if they don't share the religion. A priest of Bane, for example, would be able to dominate nonbelievers, bolster their own strength, and instill hate in their followers. Prayer is necessary to accomplish anything outside of the narrow domain and is unreliable but potentially extremely powerful.

...

I really think I took the wind out of our sails with this last update, and I'm considering retconning it and reinterpreting the last bit of rolls, because Miracle didn't specifically say he was praying and it was retarded of me to assume so. That, and it's anticlimatic as shit. What do you think?
>>
>>3911124
Up to you OP, I'm cool with it. Just wasn't acting because I wasn't sure if the lore fluff was finished.
>>
>>3911124
My opinion or Miracle's?
>>
>>3911124
I would be cool with a retcon if everyone else is game. I desire to see the number go up more.
>>
>>3911124
Sorry for double posting but realized my question was stupid when OP's question implied everyone. But as
>>3911128
said it's up to you OP. I don't know anything about Miracle RPG so idk if the priest class is completely tied to asking the patron god for nearly everything or that Miracle doesn't have to and is fully autonomous unless she is required to concerning matters involving divinity. Like she can cast spells like everybody else does but if she wants to add the extra oomph then she prays to her patron for the extra part
>>
>>3911006
Don't stress it, you're just in time for our first and possibly last collective player-to-GM vote.

>>3911036
I'm glad you like the quest so far. They players aren't making characters, they're statting themselves. It's an Isekai.

>>3911128
I don't know, I just feel like it ended too soon for any genuine tension or character development to happen.

>>3911134
What are you talking about?

>>3911143
I'm thinking a straight rewind, brief whiplash, and we go on from there as normal.
>>
>>3911146
Miracle isn't the name of the RPG, that's Mythic. Miracle is the name of the priest and there isn't a class system, only stats, skills, and abilities. The classes are an easy way to dish out the archetype boons someone might expect from going into a fantasy setting.
>>
I had a cool idea for something I could do with Miracle: he could use his stand to increase the velocity of my sword and bless it so Chase can tear through all these zombies.
>>
>>3911155
>>3911148
Ok gotcha. Thanks for clarifying that for me OP.
>>3911163
Speed of Sound Sonic or Atomic Samurai from One Punch Man vibes from that idea xD
>>
Whoops I got distracted telling another QM he's a faggot and trying to convince him to let us fuck a Magical Girl's probably male Peacock mascot.

Honestly it was kinda anti-climactic, especially after all the planning we've been doing but Miracle rolled it and I don't see a reason for him not to have the spotlight.

I'm down for whatever though, personally I can make my own fun and chaos given enough time or if nothing happens for an extended period.
>>
>>3911172
I also genuinely thought we were done for now and thought it might not be the best idea looking at spoilers if it wasn't directed at me sooo yeah.
>>
Since nobody seems to feel too strongly either way I'll just go in favor of the retcon because I want to build up this fight more, clear out the temple, maybe fight a Grave Knight if we're feeling particularly ballsy.

Hey OP, what's the difference between an Iron Imp and Rust Imp?

In my case it’s more like a suicide, the rest of you will probably pull through. Though, with some forward thinking and a boatload of luck I may make it out relatively unscathed

Iron imps spawn in more economically prosperous regions of the abyss on average.

Don't sell yourself short. Your Nokia is actually an incredibly effective anti-zombie tool as they are weak to blunt damage applied to the right spots.

Btw is there any adjustments I need from starting out as a Shadow Imp since we start weak then grow stronger?
>>
>>3911303
I was more worried about the Grave Knight but yeah, I was planning on using the phone rather than the knife during this encounter
>>
>>3911006

It's fine, I was going through a mini timeskip undergoing imp tutorial 101 on how to use my skills while avoiding the priestess.
>>
>>3911312
If anything since it's indestructible, you can probably get someone to enchant it with a size growth and fight like Mashu from FGO
>>
I've been doing some thinking for the last two hours and I realised it's fucking cowardly to retcon an encounter because it's anticlimatic and didn't go the way anyone planned it. If I went ahead and walked it back, any semblance of tension would leave the quest and I can't abide that. The earthquake is canon, we'll run full speed ahead with it, and future encounters will escalate because the grave-knight won't take this lying down. If anyone is curious, I'm not Catholic and wasn't trying to wank the denomination, it just seemed the most fitting way to handle the rolls at the time.

>>3911265
>>3911270
You still have to stat yourself and decide whether you're choosing a class or rolling for another cheat.

>>3911289
The Iron Imp is durable, the Rust Imp induces decay.

>>3911293
Hey, that's a good bit of lore, let's consider it canon.

>>3911291
>>3911303
Remember, you may communicate with anyone or anything, so long as you know its name. This possibly includes the grave-knight, the Chaos God, or even Saint Michael.

>>3911310
As a non-dire Imp, your Strength and Toughness are lowered by two ranks but you don't need to repost the sheet a third time.
>>
>>3911320
Stats adjusted. Thanks OP
>>
>>3911320
Probably a good call all things considered. Now we get to deal with the fallout of accidentally commiting a crusade against a Shinto temple and meddling in the plot of a fell avatar of evil and undeath. Isn't it all so exciting?!
>>
>>3911328
We're too far in to back out. Both the left and right roads are burning in fire and our only option is forward!
>>
>>3911316
You and Chase pretty much read my playbook. As soon as I saw how I stacked up to everyone else, I knew that using enchantments and finding outrageous weapons was mandatory
>>
>>3911320
They have no incentive to aid me, but trust me, this phone will see plenty of use(if things go relatively smoothly)
>>
>>3911336
Granted, from a combat standpoint the Brick Phone is more or less useless, but as far as raw utility is concerned, there are only two cheats that come close and that's extremely debatable.
>>
>>3911336
Lie is our only wizard I think so you could try and get him to get some enchantments built onto your nokia and possibly add some defense enchantments onto your clothes. If he does you could essentially be our main tank. I forgot which manga it was but the tank was able to convert all the damage he took into a single attack
>>
>>3911342
Exactly, it doesn't give you any particular leverage over the call's recipient, just the chance to catch their ear for a chat.
>>
>>3911336
I know what you mean, although when you look at most of us the real power is going to be locked behind a timeskip or at least a lot of playtime. Excepting Death Perception of course because I can use it right away and it seems to be as broad or as precise as I need it to be at any given time. Universal communication and just having any kind of indestructible object is pretty legit though. If you get to absurd levels of skill as a rogue you could block planet cracking attacks with your phone.
>>
>>3911320
I’m back! I seem to have to have dozed off.
If we’re not going forward with the retcon then can we post our actions?
>>3911163
I can only manipulate velocity of things the stand touches and it currently has an E in everything so...
>>
>>3911345

What did my off-screen tutorial tell me
>>
>>3911357
Can it touch something once and have the velocity remain altered because if so we can do the plan later.

That is of course unless your stand needs to remain in constant contact and ride the object like Sex Pistols or something.
>>
>>3911353
I think we'll do short timeskips in-between threads, circumstances depending. If you're all settled in a village or some such until you run out of coin, we can skip a month of training and miscellaneous busywork, but if you're in the wilderness being pursued by a pack of freznied satyrs, there wouldn't be a skip.

>>3911357
Of course, please do.

>>3911361
Being a dire imp, your Strength and Toughness are only slightly reduced and you have no intrinsic elemental powers, but you feel confident that your strength and stature will only grow far beyond a human's in time. The presence of the priest and priestess fill you with mild terror and disdain you can't quite explain, and seeing the inexplicable earthquake stirred something primal.
>>
>>3911361
Essentially, your Strength and Toughness have only been reduced to Above Average and Average, as opposed to the Below Average and Low any other Imp type would've received.
>>
>>3911345
>>3911347
Both of these statements will be so delicious to re-read if my plan comes together
>>3911346
I can already imagine all of the gambits that can be set up with that sort of build
>>
>>3911374
You can even try things from the Rising of the Shield Hero anime/manga if you think your character can develop the skill set.
Personally, it's gonna be tough raising my stats but I'm aiming for the Old Man of the Mountain style from FGO.
>>
>>3911374
The real benefit to these abilities over any more conventional boost like a prestige class is their unbridled potential for bullshit shenanigans by virtue of being impossible and inscrutable. Your phone is the most durable thing that exists, I have an instinctual stream of insight on how to destroy anything from an individual to a concept, Dave will eventually become a god capable of reaming thermodynamics out of existence, pretty much all the cheats have amazing potential.
>>
>>3911372

And what did get increased in exchanged, whay buffs does an imp get
>>
>>3911009
>>3911014
Miracle witnesses absolute destruction and is conflicted, on one hand most of the enemies are gone and this was performed by the saints. On the other, The temple is completely destroyed and this doesn’t bode well for future relationships with the followers of Elivylon.
“I am not a pilgrim, if anything I am foreigner, but I swear I did not lie to you, I do want to help. I am deeply sorry for this but I know apologies alone won’t fix this, if there’s any way I can atone for this and help you forgive me let me know. But first...”
>Attempt to remember the vision of The Death Knight, was the golden staff three-pronged perchance?
>>
>>3911381
Aside from surviving the first few scuffles the main issue is figuring out what direction I want to take my character in. Given my stats and skills I’ve got several avenues open to me
>>3911388
This goes back to what I was talking about earlier, if we can keep this quest running for a decent amount of time, the entire world would pretty much feel like one big playground
>>
>>3911389
You get less strength nerfs to start and the promise that you will be a big boy in the future. Basically you're going to be a more physically imposing demon as time goes on. Where a demon is big, you are a giant, where a demon lord is a titan, you are a towering colossus.
>>
>>3911389
Dire entities are larger, hardier, and more aggressive than their ordinary counterparts, you receive a +1 RS (Rank Shift) to your Toughness when you're recovering from wounds and if you pass or fail a Willpower check, depending on the situation, you can enter a Berserk state, conferring a +1 RS boost to your Strength and Toughness, while rendering any sophisticated mental actions or attempts to flee at -3 RS difficulty until you can snap out of it.

>>3911388
>>3911403
I've said it before but I'll say it again, you aren't the only superhumans in training and once you hit the peak, there are some bridges that are difficult to cross. Rest assured, I'll keep it fresh.

If we're going to start posting replies I would like to dash out of the group of zombies and position myself so I can start cutting stems one by one. If they're currently surrounding me I should be able to cut them down before they can group up and overwhelm me. I just hope my speed can keep me from getting grabbed on the way out.
>>
>>3911389
Racial talents in our respective choice I believe. Plus since we're imps, I think we get the growth boost from being an inherently weak race. I don't know if we get evolutions but we don't have a limit cap? Especially since our cheat is based off of something like Kumo Desu Ga Nani Ka
If I wasn't an imp and ended up being a spider, I would've gone the Doflamingo route along with the big brother from Mission: Yozakura Family
>>
>>3911419
A 100 is devastatingly terrible right?
>>
>>3911424
It is a Critical No, which can be catastrophically good or bad. Zombies are dangerous in groups.
>>
>>3911424
Probably? I've never met a system based off of 10d100s. I'm still searching around for info on Mythic RPG
>>
>>3911430
Oh yeah, this system works on a yes to no gradient rather than a success to failure. Either way I'm not to comfortable with the crit of Damocles hanging above my head.
>>
>>3911434
You can find the Mythic RPG here,
> https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/16173/Mythic-Role-Playing
It's not necessary to participate at all but well-worth the download. Not trying to shill, but it's on a sale right now. The RPG uses a d100 to determine, not a 10d100, but because several questions tend to turn up, it's exponentially more efficient to ask anons to roll 10d100s at once than to roll 1d100, update a little bit, and then ask them to roll again.
>>
>>3911414
So far we have matter, energy, the laws of physics, and divine intervention on our side. If things get crazy you’re going to need to throw reality warpers at us (or some really shitty circumstances) in order to keep the status quo going
>>
>>3911414

Good to know, last question what about my mental stats. Will they undergo any changes since imps are usually weaker physically and rely on magic

>>3911420

Seem like the dice wants the devil dance duo. Welcome abord fellow demon in arms.
>>
>>3911445
Well given that I can’t always rely on divine intervention for reasons that are obvious now more than ever, I need some other way of being useful than just praying all the time.
Speaking of which, a few words to prevent something like this happening again: If I don’t specifically say the word “pray” or “invoke” then I’m not asking St. Michael for help.
We also need an alternative method of healing, I can heal but something tells me I’m gonna be a “Most Wanted” poster soon.

>>
>>3911445
High-end adventurers, ancient monsters, and anything divine in origin are significant bullshit and not the least to worry about.

>>3911457
Duly noted. You aren't in a bad a position, because the worshipers of Elyvilon place forgiveness above all else, the fact that no-one died is a heavy mark in your favour, and you did, indirectly through Saint Michael, singlehandedly destroy a small horde of undead. If the three-pronged scepter of martyr's mourning was inside of the temple, there might have been a problem.

>>3911447
No, most Imps are unintelligent and rely on channeling elements that are essentially an intrinsic part of themselves. There are some cunning Imps, but they are the exception rather than the rule, and those are the ones that tend to rise to become something more than lowly cannon fodder and cheap labour. Your mental stats are unchanged but can be improved over time through various forms of meditation and study.
>>
>>3911457
Yeah, St. Michael can really bring down the house. Of course one day we might find ourselves in said house so you’re going about this the right way. Still when the chips are down, a little fun sized Armageddon might be just what we need

Chin up lad, I'm sure the next group of aberrations to try to flay us alive will have a suitable mockery of a living soul for you to snack on.
>>
>>3911483
Well if the Grave Knight is doing a 180 then we should probably stack the deck as much as possible. We should probably find a way to relieve him of his mount first. The more forcefully we do it the better
>>
>>3911488
Btw OP, what point do you want me to join at?
>>
>>3911491
I'll port you into the next update.
>>
>>3911490
As usual, my mind is firmly on the eight zombies surrounding me, and I kind of wanted to to get that out of the way first.
>>
>>3911496
Time to pull a Ryougi Shiki
>>
>>3911496
I’ll join the fun if you need some backup but you’ll definitely be needed if we want to pull off any nasty surprises on our rapidly approaching friend
>>
>>3911497
Unfortunately, my power doesn't let me exploit invisible weak points for instant cutting death it just tells me the optimal way to kill things. Zombies are usually incredibly resistant to physical damage and incredibly difficult to kill outright with mundane weaponry but my power has revealed that destruction of the brainstem destroys their bodies.
>>
>>3911500
If you could pick off zombies in the back of the group to prevent them from overwhelming me that would be great.
>>
>>3911468

Good to know, thank you.

>>3911465

Gotta keep everything balance as all things should be.

>>3911473

Be bigger than civil wars.

>>3911476

But the undead don't have souls. Also i bet they taste bad.
>>
How the fuck do fantasy governments deal with cataclysmicly powerful casters?
>>
>>3911524
Simple. The cataclysmicly powerful casters are the one in charge.
>>
>>3911527
That just pushes the problem back a step.
>>
>>3911529
Even if they aren't in charge, they still probably work for the kingdoms for easier access to resources and things like that.
>>
>>3911537
I'm more talking about insane sorcerers who don't think rationally and unleash their destructive powers on vulnerable populations.

Now if you will excuse me I really need to sleep.

I expected things to become a clusterfuck but not this fast! Geesus.
What timezone you in OP so I know when exactly to pop in? Also I'm a go a get some sleep so this is gonna be my last post. Today's session was fun!
>>
>>3911542
Why am I running towards the treeline instead of the established safe haven of the snowdrift?
>>
>>3911543
I usually start posting at 12:00 PM, Central Standard Time

>>3911544
The snowdrift is behind the treeline but relatively close to the clearing. You are likely going to have some scars when this is said and done but when you're so severely wounded, being in close proximity to a priestess of healing is one of the best places to be.
>>

I'm genuinely humbled.

>>3911680
As we all know, everyone posting on /qst/ is a gigachad of the highest calibre but that would make for an unbalanced game. Good on you for your honesty, if you hadn't wedged that rebar into the clutch of the combine harvester, who knows how much more damage it could have done?
>>
We should get the name of the guard captain of the nearest.settlement so we can get some support against this Death Knight. As much as I hate to admit it I don't think a rusty stilleto is going to do the job.
>>
>>3911778
Backup would be nice but if he really is returning back to the scene, he’s at his weakest right now. He has no idea what to expect, he has little to no manpower with him, and he isn’t fighting a conventional unified force. We aren’t likely to have those advantages against him again or at least anytime soon
>>
>>3911787
When he gets here, he's going to raise all of the corpses of the cultists and he's really tough on his own.
>>
>>3911789
That’s only if we let him get close enough and give him the time to do so
>>
>>3911778
We should probably get ourselves and the inhabitants of the temple to the nearest settlement they know. I can only call St. Michael for help so many times until it sounds like I'm too needy.
Note: I live in the UK which is GMT. GMT is CST +6 hence why I haven't been here for a while.
>>
>>3911792
The best plan would be to nuke him with spells before he gets the chance to activate his abilities. We could ambush him from behind the snowdrift while he investigates the chasm.
>>
In more immediate terms I'm going to see about getting healed by the Priestess and then we all need to deal with these zombies.
>>
>>3911698
OP, a question. Could you please tell me what I spells or magic powers I can use without calling for St. Michael? I would just like this to be clear so I don't make any impossible actions.
>>
>>3911798
That’s what I had in mind. We either jump him and blast like crazy from the safety of cover and concealment or just snipe him while he’s otherwise occupied
>>
Do any of you guys have any ideas for stuff to do during a timeskip? I've had some ideas regarding better utilizing my ability. I have this idea of gaining Death Count as an entirely new sense is a bit difficult to handle, like suddenly being able to see in ultraviolet or sense electromagnetic fields and as a result I currently need to consiously focus on comprehending and applying that information. I think I could train myself to process and apply this information instinctively and develop a kind of muscle memory for it. That way I could begin to do things like strike an object in just the right way to destroy it.
>>
>>3911869
I would probably train to improve my physical body and finding techniques to use with my stand (I didn't use it at all). I also want to learn a physical (non-magical) way of healing a person.
>>
>>3911869
I was gonna go have a Pint with Terry or Alex. Maybe try to find a way for us to make some money together... That or just mess around.
>>
>>3911881
You could block near any physical attack by canceling the speed, you could lock objects in place by setting the velocity to zero, you could run fast and jump incredible distances and live by speed canceling on the descentand throw small objects at the speed of bullets to name a few.

Really you should just use it as much as possible to increase it's stats.
>>
>>3911891
I could make a good informant with my ability. I'm sure there's money to be made in selling information about how to kill certain people or destroy certain places.
>>
>>3911869
Mostly theif stuff for quick cash, training my strength, and finding ways to enchant my dagger and Nokia. Ive already drawn up a few dozen ideas for each. I’ll also take up David on that drink offer
>>
>>3911904
Give me your haul and we can split it 60/40. Sell whatever comes out the Vending machine in a pawn shop.
>>
Anybody opposed to me putting New Guy's body into the Vending machine and seeing what comes out or you wanna give it a few days?
>>
>>3911908
Sounds good to me
>>3911910
He’s still around, but he came late and only made a post or two during our first session
>>
>>3911911
>Sounds good to me
Don't be a faggot man at least try to talk it up to 70/30, 65/35. You'll be risking your life here, put more value in yourself. You're worth more than that.

Besides don't you have any dreams? Anything you want to do in the future? It's all about the money and resources. Without that you'll never be able to get them or best case you'll get left behind by people who have more than you.

>He’s still around, but he came late and only made a post or two during our first session
Damn, alright then.
>>
>>3911894
Great ideas, Chase. Maybe you should be the leader man.
As for slice of life things, I'm probably going to be raising money and resources to rebuild the Elivylon Temple (I mean, I was the one who destroyed it) and maybe find other people who trust St. Michael.
>>
>>3911918
Maybe I should have put Stand analysis on my skill sheet. As for me I really need to focus on getting good right now. Getting mauled like this has been a bit of a wake up call.
>>
>>3911917
The money doesn’t mean that much to me, the whole rogue thing was more so that I could play to my natural strengths and it would force me to be a bit more creative with how I solved problems. As for the future it all depends on what’s going on in the world. If I put my mind to it I could retire within six months but who wants to do that in a fantasy world? As I said before the money is mostly going to improving my utility and combat effectiveness. Besides, the more we put into your cosmic swap meet, the more value we get. If I were to ramp up my take we’d only get mundane things like platinum spears or an old Soviet tank
>>
>>3911934
Now that I’m actually thinking about it, we could actually get a lot of use out of a tank given our skill set
>>
>>3911934
Nah mate even with you robbing, theft's small time without lots and lots of money.

We need to start establishing contacts and setting up networks if we want to heist more important places and do better paying jobs.

You take the money you have to make more money but the more money you have the more money you can make.

Even then crime can only get you so much money. With the proper feel of the market and enough money it's easy to make money out of trading goods and investments. Even barring that we can make everyday items like Pens and Suspension systems for vehicles.

I'm not saying retire, I'm saying figure out how to get as much money as you can and do whatever the fuck you feel like. Wanna start a war? Money. Want to displace political figures? Money. You want a cute dog girl slave? Money.

Throw enough money at a problem and it'll go away but you need to always be thinking how to get MORE.
>>
>>3911940
Same with power really, at some point you hit a critical mass but you need to want it. Take as much as you can and be as greedy as you're allowed. Not to say be a dumb ass and bite off more than you can chew but never settle for enough.

God of chaos is watching and we need to always have too much rather than not enough.
>>
>>3911939
I'd prefer something lighter desu. Tanks need A LOT of maintenance and some IFV's pack just as much punch for lighter armor.
>>
>>3911950
They could take a lot of maintenance, or it could work on some kind of abstracted system. Things haven't been exactly hyperealistic.
>>
>>3911940
I’m not really a treadmill sort of guy, at a certain point all I want to do is just sit back and enjoy the silence of accomplishment. In the case of rapid, unremitting progression however, you have the right mindset
>>
>>3911950
All of that gets reduced to semantics once we make some creative adjustments
>>3911954
My point exactly there’s so much potential with such an idea that even an old junker could work wonders
>>
>>3911955
I've always been a complete personal freedom kind of guy. I want to be strong enough to do what I want and protect what I care about.

>>3911810
Sorcerers and priests both wield supernatural power but have several fundamental differences. The sorcerer's magic comes from the spark of sorcery in their soul that allows them to visualise spells and release them to produce specific effects, though sorcery is inherently chaotic and without an ironclad will or specific techniques, prone to varying from the user's intentions. Their magic is extremely potent and versatile but occasionally unreliable and has the chance to backfire.

A priest's power comes from their patron deity or in the case of polytheists or some specialty classes, deities. Their soul is inextricably connected to their patron and so long as they maintain their devotion and follow the tenets of their faith, they are entrusted with a fraction of their authority. This isn't raw power subject to mortal flaws and failings, this is the priest speaking with their authority to command the aspect of reality and those within it that the patron oversees or opposes to do as they see fit.

It is intrinsic to the priest's soul and can be brought at will, with no chance of variance or harm to the priest, if their faith remains unwavered and it is used in accordance with the patron's will. If a priest's channeling falters it's not the fault of the power gone awry, it's their own failure in ritual/chanting/zeal or the success of their target. The powers priests have access to are different from religion to religion, and sometimes from priest to priest, usually dependent on rank or sect. An occultist worshiping Thoth in the 18th century is going to have access to different knowledge than a high-priest at the apex of the Egyptian empire, and an acolyte of Pelor is going to be completely different from a priestess of Lamashtu.

What exactly is conferred depends on the portfolio of the patron in question. Saint Michael presides over opposition to the unholy, the weighing of souls, and the protection of the church. As his priest, you are capable of banishing unholy entities and energies to the hells or lower planes from whence they came, convicting the wicked to render them paralysed with guilt, and safeguarding your allies from poison, curses, and to a lesser extent, mundane wounds. Because Saint Michael is associated with Christianity, you may also attempt to heal wounds and prophesy, though nowhere near as competently as a priest of Raphael or The Most High/Ancient of Days/Elohim... etc.

>>3911960
Could work great yeah. Just replace the Engine with something that takes mana or some other shit.

OR we just throw money at an Artificer and design our own money fortress? Make it into our base and move around countries. Maybe do Kino's Journey and make a moving Country?

>>3911963
Yeah basically. Even if you're not using the power, if you're too mediocre to take your life into your own hands you might be forced to do things you don't want to.

That’s the pinnacle of human existence. Better to have complete control over your domain than to have to scramble to maintain an empire. Of course, Dave might have other plans that I’m unaware of that don’t involve political intrigue, monopolies, or dynasties
>>
>>3911971
Kidding, kidding, but the Cosmic Vending Machine doesn't much care about tech levels. If it's valuable, you'll get something equally valuable in return, completely devoid of your personal context. For a random example, a sack of gold might yield a single unicorn tear, a small sack of rubies, or a set of modern parts impossible to manufacture with a primitive industrial base.
>>
>>3911969
I’m not going to lie, the typo iteration of your idea sounded much cooler. Picture it: a fortress made entirely of gold coins. It would certainly be a marve to look at
>>
>>3911972
Nah I just wanna be able to do whatever the fuck I want honestly. I don't care about owning kingdoms or domains. MAYBE blackmailing kingdoms and domains to use their resources but tying myself down sounds boring but I wanna have contacts I can call on.

Mid Game I wanna grow my Stand and turn myself into a Necromancy Focus Thumaturge worshiping Frog Satan, Tsathoggua or Nyarlathotep.

I'm waiting to see if any of the rest of you want to attempt an action before updating the near-death experience.

>inb4 the quest veers into manufacturing artisan constructs for dwarven aristocrats

Ehh, honestly not the worst idea. Magic's a thing and rule of cool can apply if you put enough Sigils.

Needs to have multiple artillery batteries though. Then later missile Pods.

Ahh shit now I wanna commission a mech.
>>
I forgot to mention, you can develop a class over time but it takes an enormous amount of time and effort for no initial gain. Speccing into a second class is possible, but takes away from time you could be putting into achieving a much stronger specialty class.

>>3912005
Honestly I mostly want it for the army. Making an army up of
regular people is a pain in the ass. SOOO much logistics involved, I'd sooner blow my brains out.
Undead don't need any of that, you point they kill. Make some Wights every now and again, try to figure out a way to only use partial souls.
Boom easy army.
>>
>>3912005
Funny enough, there is a rogue specialty class centered around the use and to an extent, the manufacture of magical devices.

>>3912007
Fighting in melee is extremely risky, you can only endure -2 RS more damage before suffering a fatality. Remember, you have a wizard and two sorcerers.
>>
>>3912007
Just keep running Forest the Sorcerers aside, there's another Warrior that's armed and can probably do some damage.
>>
>>3912011
Well it's obviously contingent on how effective the healing is this round. If I'm in bad bad spot I'll do something less bold.
>>
>>3912007
I’m all for it, but afterwards we should get one of the sorcerers to duplicate your shield. Until we greatly improve, every melee fighter in the party should carry one

Though they may be unwieldy for the imps

Yeah but you don't wanna go full wunderwaffe with your army. They're the simple yet versatile tools I can use every day. Keep it simple, Skeletons and Wraiths. Mostly Cavalry if possible.

Sides, I'm sure people'll start getting pissy If I start making Witchfires and Attic Whispers. Plus can you imagine the maintenance on those thing?
Women and children are already a pain in the ass to deal with, make them into literal embodiments of hatred and pain and you've got the most annoying family ever.
>>
Tactically speaking, it's foolish to charge in one by one. It will be more effective to fight as a group, after applying as many buffs and shields as possible. Warriors and rogues in the vanguard, sorcerers and priests in the rearguard.
>>
>>3912030
It'd be REALLY fucking funny to launch a swarm of flying heads though. Can you imagine.

>>3912031
Too late Mr. Virgin we're already in it and depending on who posts, any sort of planning and expecting people to do specific things
has a good chance of falling through.

>>3912016
Not to mention Jake Black's Stand「Receive You」could prove quite potent against the negative energy filling undead.

>>3912030
A wise decision.

>>3912031
A reasoned, intelligent opinion with none of the vainglory that's crippled warriors and fattened bards throughout a thousand generations. Spoken just like a wizard.

Nothing's already been done, aside from David's attempt to have his Stand attack the undead from afar while Chase tries to get the priestess's help tending his wounds. Which I've yet to update, come to think of it. Give me a minute to tally the rolls and get some flavour text going.

Sometimes you just gotta say, fuck it really.
Indecision or Expectations are sometimes more dangerous in Chaotic situations like this.

I disagree. Several cultists of Elyvilon have just died unnecessarily as a result of foolish tactics and a lack of coordination.

>>3912049
I'll apply buffs while everyone is getting ready. Starting with the same shields as earlier.

Then I'll actively assist everyone in combat from a very safe position via barriers and other support type spells.

Pretty much yeah since a warrior decided to try to sneak in when we have a rogue and the sorcerers were too slow to buff them before they wen't Leroy Jenkins.

Damn, you can totally fuck shit up with that, even at E in everything. An E is equivalent to your own ability with a stat (E in range being slightly farther than arms, length E in durability being the same as your own body etc) so you can do pretty well with just your stand.

That'd make an least a seven-ish out of ten subplot for... Maybe like half an episode?
Bahh whatever, if you don't wanna bang her for the lols you can always use her to learn holy then unholy magic."

Miracle tells Miyashita that they are no pilgrims, but swears he told no lie and intended no harm. She looks at him, tears of grief welling in her eyes and sobs. "My uncle, cousin, and that harmless old scribe... They're dead now and the temple is gone. You saved the rest of us but they spent so long building it, I... I-I need some time." The priestess turns back, staring at the chasm and not registering the walking corpses.

Content that he's done what he can, the priest closes his eyes and concentrates on recalling the vision of the grave-knight. It comes clearly, as if inscribed into his memory by writ of the divine and so far as he's concerned, it very well might be. He furrows his brow and sees that the golden staff in the monster's grip does indeed have three prongs, but all else evades him.

Meanwhile, Chase is surrounded by unfeeling, furious corpses that want nothing more than to rip the flesh from his bones. Thinking fast, he tries to sprint where the imminent dead are thinnest but when a particularly well-fed farmer's corpse moves to tackle him he has to waste precious instants bringing up his shield to block. He reflexively stabs the zombie in the stomach but this does less than nothing as their sheer numbers begin pressing in, and though he fights with the fury of a man who does not want to be the one to leave Isekai-land fifteen minutes after arrival, it isn't enough.

The brave warrior is overwhelmed, forced onto the ground, and screams in denial of the corpses tearing into his ripcord bicep and chiseled midsection as much as any agony. This can't be it, not like this, but then- A chorus of wordless zeal rings over the moans and it isn't. Chase gasps in relief as the zombie trying to pry into his ribcage with dirty nails stands and staggers into the cultists of Elyvilon.

Instinct takes over and doesn't give him time to think as he stands, shouting in exhilaration derived from at least three different emotions, and sprints for the snowbank. He reaches it in time and before collapsing, turns to see two cultists whose arms are covered in bite wounds reached him, and farther away, into the center of the undead mass an old man has fallen into a berserk frenzy, hitting them again and again with his walking stick until it splinters on one's skull and the noise goes silent. "RAAAAGH!" *THWACK* *THWACK* *TH-CHK* *CRACK*

This sacrifice bought Chase the fifteen seconds he needed to survive, and he likely won't forget it any time soon. Off to the side, casually watching the skirmish and feeling a bit inspired, David compels [Dr. Strange] to attack the undead at a distance. After thirty seconds of deep focus, the Stand barely manages to light up one's head but his disappointment is short-lived as he screeches with rage in his mind and briefly manages to detonate the skull. Luckily, the classless combine harvester victim manages to dismiss the killer migraine that threatened to surge.

Not noticing the (very tiny) explosion over his shoulder, Chase staggers over to the priestess and moans in pain. Just like that, the trauma and loss keeping her frozen in place melts away, and before it can return she gets to work. Unfortunately, she's extremely stressed and stutters throughout several chants and despite laying on hands, can't get rid of the nauseating sense of sickness near the wounds. However, mundane needlework, disinfection, and bandaging is rote memory that no amount of personal struggle can bring them to forget.

When it's done, his head feels like it's floating on air and he can't seem to really pin anything down. The fact that the snow where he fell both in the field and in the snowbank is stained crimson isn't comforting, but nasty amount of bloodloss or no, he's still alive. Back by the chasm, Terry claps his hands and shouts various insults at the zombies devouring what's left of the martyr, but this does nothing but lure six more, less distracted cannibal corpses from a different angle. At least he manages to escape their hungry grasps.

The wizard would palm his face at the circus he's seeing if his efforts weren't instrumental to keeping it running. Lie's will is steel and when set into place, it shall not be easily moved. Three more shields manifest, going to Terry, Chase, Jake respectively. Simultaneously, he dredges the thought of a substantial barricade keeping their foes at bay and drawing back on years of experience he doesn't remember having, brings forth an invisible wall covering the hilltop and half again its length at both sides. If they go around it won't do much good, but it's bought precious time.

Next to him, Miracle grabs a stone, does his best impression of a baseball pitcher, and after [Speed Demon] taps it with his index finger, flings it at wind-whistling speeds straight into a zombie's skull. It doesn't explode so much as it punches inward and the liquefied brain sloughs out of the cracks. Nasty, but at least some of his party seems to appreciate the technique.

Off behind the trees, Alex sits crouched with his claws to either side, droning on "Ooooommm... Ooooommmm..." in a stereotypical approximation of meditation. The monosyllabic whispering actually does help and for the five minutes it has to happen the session is quite calming. When he feels two eyes are on him, he opens his and sees the healer, who seems tense and a bit thrown off by his presence. It's probably a good thing he didn't end up as a wisp. "A-are you a demon? What are you doing with these people?!?"

Far away from the commotion, a confused shadow imp with thief skills they don't remember having crawls out of the temple's chasm. The last thing they really remember were getting in a combine harvester and... Ugggh.

She's essentially a charity surgeon working from a quiet neighborhood in a crime-filled city thrown headfirst into a paramedic situation handling a gang hit gone four different kinds of wrong, the skill is there, but the mindset to handle the situation isn't.

Your Strength stat increases the damage you can do with swords, as does Sword skill. Reaching anime-tier martial artsmanship would take at least Exceptional skill, preferably higher, into the Incredible, Awesome, and Superhuman ranks. Magical equipment helps.

Can you guys slow down with the actions after I post the roll results? It's getting a bit difficult to keep up.

>>3912656
Correct, the mention of some deities nauseates or repulses demons, others leaves them a bit envious or rarely, somewhat appreciative of their work. Intuition usually applies to puzzling out whether people, places, things, or objects are good (safe/profitable) or bad (dangerous/worthless), introspection and finding more about yourself and what you can do falls into Wisdom's purview.

Chase close his eyes, struggling to meditate on his death count cheat and pauses. The slow sickness seeping into his bones is too much to take. He mentions this to the priestess, who, somewhat flustered by Alex's language, apologises to the demon and turns her attention to banishing the negative energy from Chase. "D-demonically challenged? I-if you say but I've never heard of such a thing..."

It takes her what feels like an eternity of indescribable agony while she separates the dark essence from his soul but she's quick to explain. "Normally wounds heal on their own, but so much of this can cause... rotting, feelings of depression, and thoughts of suicide in the living. It's all so terrible and I don't know why anyone would try to control it!" Chase can recall at least one person that would gladly take on the mantle of necromancer if the chance came up.

While this is going on, Terry deftly maneuvers through the field, catching the zombie's attention with theatrical waves of his arms and luring them away from the snowbank as he practices his newfound skill of staying ever-so infuriatingly out of reach. David witnesses his struggle and endeavours to end it, by shouting at the top of his lungs and directing [DOOHCTA STRANGEEUUUUU] to freeze the undead in time!

When this doesn't work, [DOOHCTA STRANGEEUUUUU] shrugs and throws everything he has into freezing the zombies directly. This leaves them completely unharmed and some part of David is left wishing that they were fighting living opponents. Near the front of the treeline, the seven undead swarm toward the members of the party huddled in the snowbank but when Miracle rises and utters a latin chant he doesn't recall ever memorising, five collapse, put back into their eternal rest where they stand.

Slightly impressed and relieved that it wasn't another earthquake, Miracle rushes to the side, grabs a handful of pebbles, and commands [Speed Demon] to enhance their velocity. He does his best but they're only spinning in his hands, not shrieking through the air. Even so, the priest refuses to let perfectly good pebbles go to waste and flings them against the back of a corpse trailing Terry. It turns, a little disoriented, then begins shuffling toward him in a stance not dissimilar to most daytime drinkers after dark.

Over by the chasm, Anon, self-proclaimed Knight, shadow imp, and professional rogue crawls onto the snow, then screeches in terror as he's lifted off the ground and grappled by three random zombies. Searching for something, anything he could do to escape, he tries to hide inside of himself and vanishes in a faint plume of black smoke. When he looks around, he sees a pitch-black maze that's murky even to his many-times enhanced night vision but whispers all around-

>"FORSAKE THE HOLY LIGHT, FORSAKE THE HOLY LIGHT-"
>"CAUGRIM THE VIVISECTOR IS PATHETIC, END HIS SHAME-"
>"WOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO-"

-are trivially easy to shove into the background noise of his mind. Still, this isn't quite the ideal situation and this maze seems a bit familiar but it's not where he thinks he should be. So, not knowing what else to do, he walks about five paces to the right, then tries to come out of the hiding place. There's another plume of smoke, and one smokin'- "A-another demon? Healing maiden preserve us!"

Anon stares as the priestess traces a three-pointed circle over her bosom, slightly perturbed until he sees the meditating dire imp along with clockwork-looking Jojo Stand, and hears banter being shouted back and forth. Ah, these must be the other Isekai victims, which means the zombies are... There's no doubt or hesitation as he draws his (conveniently resized) sword, sprints into the field, half-esctatic, half-terrified from almost dying earlier and slashes the closest undead's thigh in two before running back.

Back in the trees, Alex was about to whip out some serious sorcery but the sudden appearance of a second demon and mild disdain toward the symbol Miyashita's tracing throws off his concentration. All of these distractions are infuriating and he's starting to wonder if his claws or a decent-sized rock wouldn't do a better job.

Eager to help his companion fulfill his plan, Terry tosses the brick phone in David's direction but a sudden gust of wind blows it off-course, causing it to slam into an outcropping of rocks and bounce into [Dr. Stone]'s hand, who seamlessly catches it in the split second before it would've lodged in a branch and passes it off to him. He holds the ancient piece of machinery to his ear, listens to the dialup, and a familiar voice responds.

The first one is simple, I’ll find a way to adjust the length and width of the phone, allowing me to use it as an invincible club or bat.

Filled with sudden inspiration, David whispers into Chase's ear and when the warrior's taken half a second to process what he wants to do, he nods and gripping the scabbard, proffers the handle to the bare sky. [Dr. Stone] wraps his claws around the pommel, pulls it from the sheath with an almost disturbing finesse, and proceeds to lick and sniff it. A mischievous glint in the eyes of his shoulder and torso indicates this is more than idle curiosity but he takes to his assigned task with feral tenacity.

He floats into the middle of the zombie pack chasing Terry, and in the next near minute and a half, it is as if a levitating sword wielded by a distant, drunken sorcerer was set among them. There is speed and power in his strikes equal to, if not modestly superior to the average man's, but no finesse or technique whatsoever. Even so, the undead are barely able to perceive the outline of his existence, let alone strike a true blow, and four of them collapse, the backs of their skulls cracked open. Despite their lack of effectiveness, David shudders each time their clumsy swings connect, it feels similar to a vomitous, writhing flu in the depths of the stomach that spikes each time the undead connect. He considers the lack of skill in [Dr. Stone]'s approach to martial combat and considers the logistics of having him trained, then wonders whether that would lower his Developmental Potential in the long-run.

[Dr. Stone] looks to him with curiosity, asking his subconscious whether he should continue slaying them to the last or leave the sword embedded in a corpse and go back into hiding before the priestess catches sight and panics.

There are only eight zombies remaining and between the whole of the party, it feels good to have an advantage in numbers.

The Stand is a facet of your subconscious, getting better at melee combat will make it superior no problem, but training it to channel its powers specifically to be that much more badass at slaying its foes with elementally-infused swords and summoned blades could focus its growth. Keep in mind, these are Cheat Stands, it's going to take a long time to whittle down their Developmental Potential.

>>3913328
The problem with sorcery is that successfully visualising a spell doesn't ensure its safety, it then has to be directed and challenge the magic or elemental resistance of its target to ensure an effect. At any step in the process it can fail and turn back on the caster, or be countered and dispelled to catastrophic effect. Sorcery is versatile and powerful but pays the price many times over in the weight of risk.

You're right though, a stamina system based on a sorcerer's Willpower+Toughness Ranks divided by two and multiplied by their skill level is a good call. I'll implement it next thread, I think, along with a doc containing everyone's stats, inventory, and character information as I grasp it. The only question is whether I should call it Mana, Magic, or Chi in Isekai fashion. What do you guys think?

I would call it Chi, if only because we recently met Shinto maiden which there is a bit of Eastern culture here. Also Chi does sound like Mental willpower and toughness.

I hope Orion and New Guy are still into this quest, they're interesting characters that'd be a shame to let lie.

To all sorcerers who I may have accidentally needed, I apologize. As for the name, I think the actual casters should make that call

Then again, magic is going to be the cornerstone of most of my utility in the future

>>3913377
Clever. I don't know if I want to throw a Hit-Points analogue on-top of the combat system but we might use that. Hmm, do you think we should go all in the gameist elements or keep physical damage relative to actual damage instead of numbers?

>>3913378
They aren't quite Shinto but they're definitely close. There are multiple competing pantheons and minor deities, each with their own rivalries and idiosyncrasies. If you'd like to know, Elyvilon and Yredelemnul belong to opposite ends of the same pantheon.

>>3913386
Letting the sorcerers (and wizard) vote is a good call. Don't underestimate yourself, sneaking into places without giving off an aura of otherworldly energy isn't something to knock, and as phenomenal as Anon's shadow magic could be for stealth, he doesn't have the option of simply bluffing.
>>
>>3913379
It would be a shame, we’d lose a martial arts powerhouse and the ultimate spy.

If Orion goes the way of the dinosaur could you possibly retcon things to make it so that he was too busy teaching his art to be an active part of the story? Some martial arts skills would do the party some good
>>
>>3913390
I don’t think the casters should have a specific limit to the amount of times they can cast. I’m all for magical or enchanted items going off of a charge system though.

As for actual damage, I think it should take a somewhat realistic approach. Stabbing someone in the arm multiple times shouldn’t kill them on the spot but they shouldn’t have use of it until they get it healed the magical (or if you do it the long way) medical means
>>
>>3913366
Whatever the fuck the user wants because Chi casting is probably a different method from mana casting anyway. I mean iirc they share simililarities both being able to have a raw versatile form and elemental forms but Ki or Chi is cycled regularly around the body and usually requires the whole body to properly uttilize. Mana on the other hand is generally something Wizards and western magicians channel into sigils ,through their minds, or at a certain point usually their fingers or wands. Basically there's usually a lot more dancing and colorful naming with Chi and Xia stories while western magic... Ehh it's a crap shoot but the two biggest archetypes Hermetic and Sorceror usually just use logic and will respectively.

Also it's Shinto, even if they have their own version of Ki, which seems to work similar to Chinese Chi, Shinto magic is usually a religious based magic that relies on sacred items, rituals and talismans. Compared to the Chi Korean and Chinese stories have which is regularly cycled through the body to reform and strengthen it.

It's to be expected, isn't it? In all seriousness though, if neither post by the end of thread two I'll assume they realised accompanying the same people posting on /qst/ throughout fantasyland was a Bad Idea and ventured off to retire and train, pending their return.

The Omae wa mou shindeiru cheat is some significant bullshit, disabling a lone zombie or bandit in moments before bringing stats into play, bullshit. Supernatural martial arts are supernaturally damaging, far moreso when they're applied to opponents that are vulnerable to the kind of attacks they're carry out.

New Guy's True Sight is extremely powerful, because he can instantly understand what someone's true intentions are as easily as Chase can determine their weaknesses. Any attempt to cloud his vision, tamper with his senses, or conceal something from his field of vision is a failure, no ifs, ands, or buts, barring godly camouflague without any amount of magic bolstering its capacity, because that he can sense as clearly as heat. The Anonymous cheat could be considered more of a curse than a boon, but the complete lack of a reputation one way or another, and impossibility of being remembered once he's left their sight can be an exceedingly potent tool in the right hands. Throw in any sort of shapeshifting and it becomes obscene. It really is a cheat.


I'm honestly a bit relieved none of you managed to roll the obligatory Isekai 'Harem Protagonist' cheat, it would be a riot from a character and dialogue standpoint but not as directly useful in combat or dungeon-delving as the others, barring monstergirls, big tiddy witches, or similar Isekai cliches.

>>3913398
That's how combat already works in the system. I wasn't thinking about limiting magic to X amount of spells per encounter, closer to a stamina system that they can focus and revitalise in the middle of an engagement.

>>3913400
I'm aware of the distinction between Xianxia, Shinto, and Western magc. That's part of the reason the three-pronged scepter of martyr's mourning is such a potent artifact.

>>3913401

>>3913423
When the word “points” came into play when talking about magic, that’s when I made an objection. I have a (general) understanding of how magic here works since I did a bit of reading for the other Mythic quest. I simply thought you were considering changing things up by giving them a definite amount of spell uses and wanted to voice my disapproval. Since you cleared things up however, I have no complaints. Btw are you going to run through the actions tonight or are you waiting for some more participants? It’s up to you of course, but I think we should have a more streamlined system of how we go about posting during certain situations
>>
>>3913423
Isn't Shintoism just refluffed druidism or shamanism anyway? It's like a partial holy power but instead of a god it's holy powers from natural spirits. How would the magic points work with Priests and Nature casters then? Gahh you also need to consider contractors but it seems usually regardless of which patron you follow whatever power you're given is pretty much your own unless the patron specifically wretches it. Would they just have endurace? Wizard rules? Holy Caster rules? Probably not monk/Physical adept fighter rules.
>>
>>3913434
Err I guess they'd usually worship SOME sort of god but it's usually a powerful nature spirit. Like a mix between proper gods and Shaman spirits
>>
Wait now I'm curious. You said before you needed faith, belief and a steady will to borrow a god's power. Does Shamism better need faith in nature or charisma to convince the spirits? If you had a sharp enough tongue and can sense Salamanders can you ask them to control fire for you even if you don't particularly like them

I've got to be somewhere for tomorrow morning and likely some of the afternoon, so I'll go ahead, leave you all a chance to knock off the last of the undead, and drift off into sleep now.

>>3913431
I'll wait for more participants and considering my projected absence, allow everyone to make a second action to annihilate the last of the undead or continue casually conversing and spectating the violence in anime fashion as they see fit. I agree about a streamlined system, and have a plan to keep things a bit more organised for the next thread.

>>3913434
It's much more complicated than that and there are deities in Shinto, but you're correct. The magic points work with sorcerers by giving them a pool of 'stamina' for lack of a better word, that they draw on to generate spells of different power/precision before regenerating, similar to a warrior digging deep to dish out an exhausting but fatal two-handed power cleave. I don't see any reason that would work differently for priests, nature-based, or pact-based magic users, given that it doesn't represent their source of magic, it's how much 'mental fatigue' their minds are prepared to endure at a moment's notice.

>>3913437
I'm going to guess you're referring to monks or shamans here.

>>3913440
Shamanism is a mixed-bag, because on one hand, a shaman has to have the Wisdom to demonstrate that he has the appropriate respect for the nature spirits and their rituals, but on the other, he needs to have the Charisma to convince them to bestow him the power to channel the force of the spirits to begin with. Essentially, shamans and warlocks are Wisdom and Intelligence centric casters, but the amount of overall power they receive depends on their Charisma, their dedication to furthering the patron(s) or their ambitions, and what else they can bring to the metaphysical table.

Your shadow control doesn't run on Wisdom, it's a part of your existence and assuming there isn't any opposition or distraction, automatically functions. Think of it as flexing an invisible third arm. Wisdom helps you learn more about yourself, but Willpower is what puts it into use.

>>3913713
Gazing at a random zombie, your Death Perception determines that it's exactly 5'8, 120 pounds or 1.72 meters, 54.43 kilograms, and has a clumsy, lurching gait that leaves it vulnerable to being tripped, having its knees kicked sideways, or thrown into other undead. Though its skull appears intact, a heavy blow to the upper forehead has compromised the structural integrity of its left side, making it trivial to crush the left temple inward. It was a farmer in its previous life, endowing it with a surprising strength for its mass so it's best to stay away from the front if you can help it, though its motions are predictable and simple to dodge. When it stumbles at Terry and swings its right arm, you see an opportunity to crouch to the side and pierce the underside of the shoulder to sever a motor nerve, disabling the limb. If it were alive, you'd be seeing arteries and choice opportunities for cheap shots.

>>3913727
You don't have to roll for everything, dialogue where you're not trying to convince or request something can be spoken as is without leaving it to chance but if you don't, I'll default to the most likely option. Miyashita Emiya's patron deity is Elyvilon, the goddess of healing, but the principles of mercy, self-sacrifice, forgiveness, and midwifery, among others, also fall under her domain.

There isn't any limit to the amount of classes you can take, apart from the difficulties of learning them and exorbitant time necessary to delve into specialty or niche classes. Binding yourself in a pact is a fast route to genuine, tangible power but depending on your patron, can have interesting implications. Not all entities want or care for souls, but would be willing to part with their boons for more esoteric valuables, your sense of colour, memories of childhood, every second day of the week, etc. Some warlocks go all-in on a single patron, others nickle and dime their way until they have a patchwork of abilities. Power isn't the only thing that can be bought either, potent magical equipment, modest or magnificent improvements to stats, and forbidden knowledge are all popular.

This is what I was referring to. When I was mulling over my toughness while making my profile I was thinking of pain tolerance. I’m actually surprisingly resistant to blunt force. Not to a crazy degree but my bones are much tougher than most. I’ve had some nasty falls, collisions, and even walked out of a car accident relatively unharmed. Maybe I should’ve added that as a strength while I had the chance. I planned on investing in armor after this anyway so it’s not too big of a deal

ooooooh.

I didn't see an artificer subclass anywhere, can you tell me about it?

I think I might just go for double cheats, I can gain skill, but not the crazy stuff that comes with those. I don't know what most of them do, and I would so dearly like to know what amazing things such as

A E S T H E T I C

or

[Catch Phrase]

or

Sweet Ride

do.

I always tend to go for long term strategies anyway, so I might just do the "boring option" and go double cheat.

I plan on streamlining the combat system some, but rules aside, it'll be much smoother when you're digging through dungeons/searching alleyways/breaking into manors instead of standing in an open field wailing on scattered zombies while half of the group is behind heavy cover. The judgement of Saint Michael caught me by surprise, and I fully expected this to be a running retreat with two or three (or four or five, dice depending) unfortunate casualties and valiant last stands.

Most assuredly.

>>3914636
Less guaranteed but assuming underhanded means or a cunning strategy and significant success in rolls, not beyond your reach.

>>3914793
Glad to have you on board, do you plan on choosing a class and rolling a cheat, doubling up on cheats, getting a specialty class, or becoming the biggest dicked chad in the thread and forgoing anything but your own wits?

>>3914840
The God of Chaos craves variety and in the event that you roll a Monstrous Reincarnation or Stand, you can reroll if you so wish. The goblins don't stay goblins though.

>>3915255
Absolutely based, do you want to choose a class and roll a cheat, double on cheats, forgo cheats for a specialty class, or go into Isekai-land balls-swinging with nothing but the clothes on your back?

>>3915425
Each of the four default classes have five specialty classes, and each of the specialty classes have three niche classes. There are more classes and esoteric skill-trees, but they're relatively rare and you're unlikely to encounter those unless you go looking for them. One of the specialty classes focusing on artifice falls under the rogue class. Double cheats is anything but boring, it could just as likely make you the most dangerous person in the party or leave you little better than before.

Not much longer, I imagine.

These corpses have been walking long enough and the sooner they're put down, the better. Miracle commands [Speed Demon] to bolster his momentum but the Stand deduces he isn't precise enough to effect his entire body safely, so he speeds his dominant hand instead. The priest deems this satisfactory and sprints forward, bringing his fist crashing down on a zombie's jaw with all the wrath of the Heavenly Host.

For a moment, he's triumphant then there's a spike of pain and he winces. Through the padding of his glove, three fingers have been bent backward and it's all he can do not to shame the Saints and curse. Fortunately a cultist of healing is nearby and after a moment of mutual hesitation, helps him to take off his glove and methodically pop them back into place. Fuck. Next time he tries that, a gauntlet or set of brass knuckles would be nice.

Terry is affronted by the audacity of the two zombies shambling after him, and out of simple spite or sheer boredom, is motivated to make a pair of snowballs. Each is flung with unerring accuracy a pro pitcher might envy and if they were rocks, teeth would've been scattered to the wind. As is, they couldn't care less. At a thought, the brick phone dematerialises from David's hand and reappears Terry's pocket. Neat.

The User of [Dr. Stone] makes two crude gestures, one for each hand and spites the snows beneath his feet before raising his hands to scorn the heavens. It is no blasphemy against a mighty god at the risk of his soul, but a petty insult directed to one he feels damned well deserves it. For several moments, nothing happens, as expected, but then a sudden wind howls through the branches and sets them rattling as a clump of snow plops onto his shoulder. An instinct tells him that this is a portent but of what, he doesn't yet know.

Chase continues to meditate, discovering that according to his Death Perception, while the snow surrounding him is weak to fire, radiant, and water damage, it is extremely vulnerable to piss. Given how clinically it's stated it doesn't seem to be a joke, but still, the context... It's nice to confirm that it works against inanimate objects, but what about individuals? A gaze at one of the zombies stumbling near Terry indicates the affirmative, and is even more exhaustively detailed than might be necessary. Of all the cheats he could've gotten, he had to be the one with the kickass kill-counter. Life is good, or at least will be, once he recovers from these wounds.

>cont.

>>3915603

Tired of meditating and listening to misguided but well-intentioned apologies for assuming he was a demon because of his disease, Alex rises from his seat, slides off his gloves, and takes out his claws. They're even sharper than he would've expected and size of a twelve year old child or not, feeding his infernal aggression reaps a ruinous toll on the dead, slaying three in less than a moment. A fourth snapped down to sink its teeth in his shoulder but a well-timed shove spares it and lends him the split-second he needs to spill its entrails. Predatory instinct is a powerful thing but it doesn't much care if one's opponent isn't natural or, pondering his instant and unasked-for disappointment at its lack of a soul, edible.

From the shadows swings Anon's blade to part the corpse's head from its shoulders but a stumble from the target causes it to plummet into the ribcage. It's stuck and all his weak muscles can do to keep a hold of the handle. When the zombie turns to the darkness and snarls, his struggle and the pushing of his tiny boot yields a reward in the form of the sword but he can’t manage a second slash or bring it back for a thrust.

Out of the corner of his eye, Terry notices the zombies shuffling toward the snowbank and not wanting the priestess to undergo any more trauma than she already has, he sprints with remurderous intent and comes to a dead-stop when a zombie’s chipped teeth fill his field of vision. The brave rogue stumbles back in shock, then a furious roundhouse with all the strength of a dead man puppeted by black magic sends him collapsing backward onto the thankfully soft cushion of snow. If the punch was any lower, it would’ve knocked out teeth and he’s so dazed he can’t focus on thinking, let alone bringing the dagger to bear.

Were he alone this would’ve been a death sentence, but on the top of the snowbank, the priest’s hand has recovered enough to send a white-hot pebble drilling through the back of its skull. Twenty seconds later, two more have fallen the same and between the duel efforts of Jake and Orion off to the side, the remaining pair of frothing dead have been put to rest. There are enough corpses in the field of snow that everyone’s lost count, but by the Isekai victim’s divine providence, naked luck, or unrelenting autism, not a single one belongs to them or theirs. Some stare with disbelieving eyes, others are filled with sudden mirth, and a few demonstrate no visible change in expression.

The same thought is on their minds. They’ve won their first victory and with any luck, it won’t be the last.

>cont.

>>3915606
On one hand, Miyashita and the five surviving cultists are devastated from the destruction of their holy temple but on the other, they couldn’t possibly be more grateful to this group of strange men for saving their lives. Barely missing a beat, the cultists return to the field to fold the hands of the dead and whisper their final rites; those fallen in the temple need no such help and the time to grieve is later. The priestess begins to join them, then stops. “Your foreign prophet may have destroyed the temple... but you saved our lives from the minions of that monster and I can’t thank you enough. Please, if there is anything, a-anything we can do to make up for this without violating our sacred vow of peace, tell us.”

"If you could finish healing me that would be great."

As the clamor of battle and non-stop chaos of today comes to a close, I find myself lying bloodied on a snowdrift of an alien world about as far as I could possibly be from home. There's not a lot to miss about my previous life, but even so loss makes itself felt. I guess I'll never get to see Jen finish her movie. Damn.

>>3915518
When I was a kid, I was involved in a car crash involving a large truck (it was a hit and run so I don’t know how big it was, but it was definitely used for carrying heavy loads, possibly freight) and a mini van. As you can guess, I was in the mini van. The truck struck my side, grinder the car against a rail and then took off. I made it out with a scratch caused by the shattered window and a bit of dizziness. If someone hit me with a bat it would more likely than not take me out of the fight (depending on where I’m struck) but I’d say the lasting damage wouldn’t be too severe. I’ll classify this resistance as a strength. I’ll call it, “It’s Pointless”. A pretty decent play on words if I do say so myself.

>>3915658
The Head of Nomenclature approves.

>>3915606
Well, you certainly have a strange way of interpreting intent. Dave will forever label me as “the nice guy” from now on.
>>
>>3915661
Moralfaggotry is a slippery slope Terry.
>>
>>3915662
When I took action against the zombies, I explicitly stated that I wanted to wrap things up with the zombies. Yet for some reason people (mostly Dave) think I have a thing for the priestess. I pretty much viewed her as a glorified tour guide from the beginning.
>>
>>3915660
Throw in a few more compliments and you might find an extra special bonus check in the mail.
>>
>>3915658
In that case, a +2 RS to resisting mundane blunt damage seems reasonable. Also, that's a nice name.

>>3915661
I meant it in the meta-logic not-wanting the healer that has in-setting knowledge to be mauled to dysfunction way, not the seething thirst way, I'm sorry if that wasn't clear in the writing.

>>3915662
>moral faggotry
The man is a rogue anon. The only class more scandalous is [REDACTED]


>>3915675
I'm sorry that I misinterpreted your post, consider the half-sentence of flavour text noncanon.
>>
>>3915675
That's where you messed up Terry. If you want to be a really cool and interesting amoral character you need to make sure that your actions never benefit anybody or you run the risk of becoming a moralfagging white knight who will do anything for a second of attention from a catatonic healbot.
>>
>>3915689
Good. Wouldn't want anybody to get the impression that Terry wanted to help someone.
>>
>>3915689
Understandable, though my motivation to end things (both in and out of character) was boredom, losing the priestess would certainly hamper our ability to maneuver around in this new world.

>>3915692
I’m not necessarily trying to come off as cool and anoral, I can be at times (as well as a myriad of other things) but for the most part I’m actually pretty laid back and accommodating.
>>
Personally, I don't much care about the priestess one way or another, I just thought having waifu-bait in visible danger and name-dropping a macguffin would be an easy way to keep anons from bolting immediately. I know if I was thrown into a snowscape with a zombie horde savaging a building I have no context for, I would be hoofing it as quietly as possible in the opposite direction.

>>3915699
I'm assuming he did it because he didn't want the other Isekai victims getting eaten and wanted to move on from the zombies, not out of any affection for the traumatised heal-dispenser. It was an honest mistake on my part, let's not turn the rest of this thread into an argument. I dislike applying D&D's nine point alignment system to anything that isn't an extra-planar entity, but in my opinion you're best off ignoring, Terry has been neutral leaning into chaotic good so far. Most of you have, and I'm looking forward to seeing more character development happen, the dialogue has honestly been my favourite part of the quest up to this point.
>>
>>3915714
You don’t give yourself enough credit, it was a pretty decent hook. Then again as you know from the other quest I don’t need much to get going. As for allingment. I’d say we all range anywhere from lawful evil to chaotic good
>>
>>3915713
Exactly my point about the D&D alignment system, only a small percentage of the population fall completely into one category, real people have a lot more nuance. Of course, this is Isekai-land and in-keeping with the genre, most of the personalities are going to be a bit more exaggerated or idealised in one direction or another than that. It's a subtle difference, and like anything else, there's always plenty of exceptions to the rule.

>>3915723
If you say so, I'll take your word for it. Alignment wise, if I'm going to be honest, I probably fall solidly into True Neutral. Not out of dispassion, just an eclectic mindset. Then again, this is 4chan, I'm sure everyone could say the same.
>>
>>3915713
>>3915714
I'm pretty much just joking around sorry if that isn't very clear over text.
>>
>>3915733
I assumed so, but sometimes it's hard to be certain. You seem neutral good as fuck, from what I can tell.

>>3915858
Being a Rogue grants High Agility and Dexterity stats, along with High Stealth, Lockpicking, and Pickpocketing skills which can certainly be useful for an archer, but the Warrior class confers High Strength, Toughness, and an indiscriminate minimum of High in weapons skil, which is also useful. Both are good and not forced into a melee or ranged niche by default, it's a matter of whether you'd prefer to provide stealth sniping or conventional fire support.

Could you roll a d20 to determine your cheat?

You can't outright pick a cheat, but chaos has a way with these things.

I look at myself, judging the results of when I attacked the zombies.

"I have gotten weaker. Troublesome."

Turning my attention towards the group of other isekai victims.

"What is the next objective from here?"

>>3916053
"For a long term goal I say we defeat The Death Knight, whatever they're doing will no doubt affect the world we currently live in."
"For short term goals, I say we find the nearest city or village and take a rest, this fight was a slog and some of us sustained injuries despite the healing given to us. We might find an Adventurer's Guild of some sort at a city or some one to give us some information on this world."
"But we are a team, so anyone else have any suggestions?"

>>3916058
Chase breaks from his reverie and says, "All good ideas, we're going to need information if we're going to live in this world. Also, we need to get better in general. We were incredibly lucky not to lose anyone but one fuck up can ruin us. What we really lack is coordination and tactics. To that end I think we should find a place to stay and learn more about the world, go train and otherwise get acclimated to our new selves, and then reconvene and develop a plan for the future. That said, you're all free to strike out on your own, if you want. I'm not trying to force a group or anything.

>>Strengths:

Solid Base: Although You have low Physical Stats, you have the advantage of a family and genetic history of being fit and healthy, meaning that it is easier than most to raise them.

Dog Lover: You love dogs, and they love you. (not like that you perverts)

Quick Learner: You learn fast, but really only if it interests you, whether because you truly enjoy it, passing fancy, or urgency.

Down The Hatch: Although you are spoilt on good food, you still have no qualms about eating something that anyone else would deem unfit for human consumption. Rotten meat? Just cook it until it stops being rotten. Moldy bread? Cut off the bad parts. This may lead to eating actually dangerous things, and is as such as much a curse as a blessing.

Glorious Hair; Your hair is glorious. This has no actual effect but making you feel good about yourself so long as you have it, and sad if it is either damaged, removed, or significantly dirtied.

Temperature Tolerance: You grew up in Texas, where the weather was schizophrenic and your room was alternately the hottest in the house or coldest. This has no effect on physically damaging heat or cold, such as Frostbite or Fire
>>Weaknesses:

Socially Awkward: You spent most of your time in a book or on the computer, not talking. This has had a negative impact on general socialization.

Compassionate: While being mean makes others feel bad, being mean makes you feel REALLY bad.

Messed up Joints: Although this lets you do weird things like dislocate your arms and replace them without harm or much pain, it also means your left hip joint clicks like you're 80 and it's on your 3rd replacement. On rare occasions, it fails you when doing physical activity.

I'm going to go where no man has gone before and use double cheats. Wish me luck.

Ah. I see. I suppose I no longer have hair then.

At least I have a dope vehicle. I assume I can choose any vehicle, correct?

Op hasn't posted your cheats yet. So we don't know what form either will take.

I find it odd that people here seem to be more busy on weekends than weekdays
>>
>>3916058

"We shouldn't rush it, we need to know precisely what we can do in this world, what we can't and improve ourselves for the task at hand. But in terms of goals, those are some pretty decent ones so far."

>>3916090

"Chase is right. Luck is something that happens over time at any point, so all the more reason why I don't want to rely on it. Protagonist or not."
>>
>>3916202
On weekdays you look for something to fill the void, on weekends you have things planned and sleep in.
>>
>>3916214
Conversely, I feel the void all the time. This is probably the most interesting thing I’ve done in a few weeks.
>>
>>3916251
To be fair, it's about the same here. Having something that I can commit to doing that has other real people also committed is nice.
>>
>>3916058
Why don't we just report this "Death Knight" to the proper authorities and let them handle this?
Frankly whatever kind of apocalypse is about to happen isn't our responsibility. Even with our cheats, we're not much more powerful than an average adventurer at this point. Chase almost died to some default zombies. All we're obligated to do is report the situation to the authorities and that's it.

In the meantime, we should find a town, acquire currency, buy better equipment, join the adventurer's guild, train our individual powers, and try to avoid trouble with the law given our complete lack of identities.
>>
>>3916262
Yeah, I enjoy quests and games like these. It feels a lot more interactive than 20 or so anons trying to control a single character.
>>
>>3916276
Are you saying that the Enforcers will handle this?
>>
>>3916276
>implying that people can solve their own problems in a fantasy world
>>
>>3916276
"Yes, the proper authorities will definitely be able to handle what is most likely a Champion of Yredelemnul, along with his who knows how big undead army(!)"
"Sarcasm aside, I do slightly agree with you, we have potential but we need practice I'm not going to rush straight at him being as weak as I am now."
>>
>>3916291
Honestly I’m kind of leaning towards Lie’s thinking here despite my earlier joke. I was all for taking out the Knight when we had a distinct advantage over him, but if we cut and run now our chances of doing anything significant will dry up until we progress to around thread #3 or 4 and that’s not even accounting for his new toy. We don’t necessarily need to play the big heroes here, especially when it’s been established that people greater than our maximum potential are wandering around here ( though that doesn’t guarantee that they’ll do anything about this crisis either). I’m fine either way but if we’re going to do this we either nip this issue in the bud or we do some serious training and spending for the next two threads.
>>
>>3916313
Personally, I think this is a job to do when we have equipment, intel, and sorcs with some pretense of reliability so we can effectively coordinate and take him down. I doubt he's going to be dealt with in the immediate future and I have a feeling that the Guild already knows about this guy.
>>
Rolled 71, 59, 29, 30, 55, 8, 99, 80, 56, 36 = 523 (10d100)

Now that the dangerous zombies are dealt with I'd like to experiment a bit with my magic powers. First probe my memory to see if I've been gifted any insights into what my magic is capable of. Can I make someone invisible? Muffle the sounds they make? Shoot fire or a caustic acid from my hands? Engage in telepathy? Teleportation? Mind-reading? Could I use my magic to alter someone's appearance? (for a limited time? permanently?) Could I create a golem? (a waifu golem?)

>>3915830
If appearance-changing magic is possible, attempt it with the dire imp to make her look human again (I think her name was Alex).
>>
I can only hope that My choice for Sweet Ride is ridiculous enough to gain the Favor of Chaos. Assuming I get a choice, which I presume I do.
>>
>>3916320
Magic is pretty OP here. As long as you have high mental stats you could do just about anything that falls within the realm of magic. If you want to toy with your food then by all means, we can put down roots and wait things out. Personally I’d like to avoid the whole guild routine however. I’m pretty sure a group this large and creative can find better, less cliché ways to spend our time.

>>3916321
As a caster the world is your oyster but since you also took the wizard subclass you may get more use out of learning it’s intricacies rather than focusing on having a general spread of spells.
>>
>>3916336
Most definitely. I'm not talking about letting this knight have the run of the place but I want to have more than some bloody rags and rusty knives before we go charging down an avatar of undeath. Also fuck adventurers guilds, they are nonsensical organizations that only exist for the sake of braindead isekai protagonists that can't be bothered to find something to do in a world of infinite possibility.
>>
>>3916350
Amen to that brother
>>
>>3916350
You're about to have something more. We can just run him over after I join in.
>>
>>3916350
To be honest I wouldn't really like Adventurer's Guilds because I don't like working for a large figure of authority who doesn't directly help me. Maybe we could create own group, or do you want wander around like a hobo.
But we do need resources.
>>
>>3916408
But we won't need to wander when we can RIDE!
>>
>>3916413
This guy gets it. If you wander around on foot you're a vagrant, but if you do it on a sick ride you're a badass drifter.
>>
>>3916408
Given how beneficial we are towards each other I figured we were already a group if at least unofficially. As a group we have pretty much everything we need. All we lack is some funds, which isn’t exactly a problem given the fact that we’re in a fantasy land. Hell, you could probably magic up some counterfeit coins once we manage to get our hands on one.

>>3916413
It would have to be a stretch limousine to fit all of us in there or a large attack helecopter
>>
>>3916425
Magicking counterfeit coins is a good way to end up in magic jail. We have no ID, no references, no experience, no families, no funds, no history, and I'm guessing most of you would have no real work ethic, expecting the world to be handed to you on a silver plate just because that's the way some wish fulfillment trash isekai light novels go.

Realistically, our most feasible methods of acquiring funds is either adventuring or crime. Personally I'd prefer not to get into trouble with the law, not to mention ethical concerns.
>>
>>3916425
By "Group" I mean a mercenary kind of group where people pay for our services if needed, but we're literally foreigners and no-one knows who we are. So my dreams are dead before they exist.
I wonder how we all managed to get run over by a Combine Harvester. It must be a huge Combine Harvester to run over several people and not slow down or stop. I hope the guy that ran us over gets multiple life sentences.
>>
>>3916434
That’s assuming that they have the means to screen those coins. If we go someplace where magic isn’t too prominent we could get away with it. As for your other concerns, you have to realize that we no longer live in a society (I mean we do but you get the point). Things like IDs, work experience, or references don’t matter. All you need is cash most of the bullshit hoops have yet to be invented in this world. Just take a few coins to the market, get food for the week, and shell out a few more for seasonal purchases and you’re pretty much golden. We have the means to create our own wealth because the establishments don’t have a monopoly on the goods and services here. In fact, we could make a self sufficient village if we wanted.

>>3916436
When I said group, I was using the term loosely. As a group we could be mercenaries, grave robbers, hostile species removers, explorers, and so on. We don’t need a specific, set in stone specialty.

Velocity is Speed AND Direction, so theoretically, with enough practice I could use [Speed Demon] to make something fly by making it go at a certain speed upwards.

I doubt there is much automobile friendly terrain here, but having it fly would be viable. Having it work like a hover car would be better than a jet car since it would be much easier to take off and land.

Yes, I see how you think. You don't see the inhabitants of this plane as people, and you see the rules of this world as nothing more than an RPG. Making money is as simple as buying a vendor's item, duplicating it several times, and selling it back to that same vendor. You don't see any reason why this world would have any deeper rules than does Skyrim or Nethack. Any thousands of years of history and experience this world has is nothing more than the backstory - a prelude to the main events where you, the main character, became present. Even as you see people struggle and die in front of you, you don't pay it any mind as if it was a simple NPC's whose HP was decreased to 0. Despite caring so little for anyone outside of our coterie of real, actual people, you fully expect to be showered with praise and affection. You doubt that any other agencies will be able to thwart this or any other serious threat, not because they are not powerful enough, but because they are merely side characters to your adventure where you are the protagonist and it wouldn't be right for the story to be resolved without your personal intervention.

Have I understood you correctly?

I just got here and can I just say that'd be fucking awesome right? Not being able to feel empathy to other people's suffering and just being able to do whatever the fuck you want.

I dunno where all the edgy first year psycho analytic bullshit's coming from though. I mean even people in the real world counterfeit money so you could could totally make a solid basis for your argument using logic and history just from that.

>Despite caring so little for anyone outside of our coterie of real, actual people, you fully expect to be showered with praise and affection
Again it seems you're only mentioning this to gain the moral high ground and make people feel bad about themselves lol.

>You doubt that any other agencies will be able to thwart this or any other serious threat, not because they are not powerful enough, but because they are merely side characters to your adventure where you are the protagonist and it wouldn't be right for the story to be resolved without your personal intervention.
Now we get to the meat of the matter! Yes! There's a huge chance that there's a section of the government monitoring the coins but have you considered that's true for real life. I mean what's the harm making a few hundred bucks each to start us all off.

That being said, mass creation of counterfeit's a retarded idea and I think you're right! You just sound like an edgy asshole adding so much unnecessary bullcrap to it.

>>
>>3916484
Not at all, in fact I very well could die at the beginning of the next thread and I wouldn’t be surprised. I fully understand what this experience is, which is why I’m willing to take an alternate path. If I went by your line of thinking I’d join a guild, have some adventures, go through arcs filled with artificial drama and in the end hold my sword aloft declaring my triumph over the forces of darkness. After some deep thinking you’ll realize that by in large life is somewhat like this game, only the rules are a bit harder to understand. Generally the people who are rich and successful realize this as well wether consciously or unconsciously. The entire basis of life is built around survival, profit, and novelty.

Due to the time period we’ve been sent to, there are many loopholes which haven’t been closed and there are entirely new obstacles which I haven’t invisioned. With that comes choas, the very theme of this game. I’m one of many PCs here so obviously my intentions don’t take priority, my will only goes as far as the setting and dice allow. Knowing that however, and realizing the opportunity this game has given me, I feel driven to step away from the conventions of a fantasy romp. I don’t want to slog in a guild forming artificial connections which ultimately go nowhere. Exploring my options and this world with people such as yourself seems far more rewarding and if we have to bend rules and think out of the box to do so, I’m all for it.

Ohh that being said, skimming through this thread it seems like you people are shadowrunning wayyy too hard. I get there's nothing to do on sundays but most of the ideas seem to be based on assumptions. You'll faggots are getting heated about shit that we aren't even sure about yet.

I mean we all fucking ASSUMED we'd be near a Civ but we got dropped in bum fuck nowhere with every useless female character ever except there isn't a harem MC here to save the day.

Remember kids assuming makes an ass out of you and you, and frog Satan's gonna take that sweet ass and ram it harder than the Titanic blew.

I find it funny that out of all of the people supposedly trying to claim the moral high ground, it isn’t the Priest.

You also all assume we'd find a Civ after this thread soon but we rolled bretty high. Who knows, maybe we'll get kidnapped by an Orchish warband and Ms. Catatonic'll go "Kuh... Kill me" once the orcs decide to take that sweet Chink ass.

Or we'll get stuck in the forest for a few weeks and I'll be up shit's creek with a donut.

>>3916523
You make a good point but I would say that I’m making an educated guess rather than assumptions. The Grave Knigh draws the bulk of his power from preying on civilization and through the context clues given by OP, it would be fair to assume that we ended up in a fairly civilized region (compared to the time period that is).
>>
>>3916528

Personally I was planning on dialing up Miyashita sugar cane daddy and threatening him into giving me part of his divinity or at least extorting some help from him.

Barring that, ask one of the cultists or the priestess who the nearest political power is, dialing him up on Terry Terrific Nuclear Nokia then asking them to pick us up. Course there's always the chance none of them know or it doesn't work but I'm not banking all my money on it.

>>3916533
Ahh but have you considered the fact he might just be praying on small settlements like dirt poor villagers, like most of the undead seemed to be, or cult groups in the region?
>>
>>3916528
It would indeed be prudent to save our chicken-counting until after the update where we see them hatch. That said, isn't it better to go into it having at least some idea of how many fowls we're going to be expected to care for? We can always re-adjust our plans if necessary.
>>
>>3916537
Ahh that's only if it's a civil thoughtful discussion even if it's all bullshit to waste time. When it becomes a shouting match, when it becomes character assassination it not only becomes useless the discussion becomes detrimental to the group. AND it makes you all look like faggots.

Beogh the Brigand, evil god of the orcs.
Cheibriados the Contemplative, the slow god.
Dithmenos the Shadowed, evil god of darkness.
Elyvilon the Healer, good god of healing.
Fedhas Madash, god of plants.
Gozag Ym Sagoz the Greedy, god of gold and mercantilism
Hepliaklqana the Forgotten, god of ancestry and memory.
Jiyva the Shapeless, chaotic god of slimes.
Kikubaaqudgha, evil demon-god of necromancy.
Lugonu the Unformed, chaotic evil god of the Abyss.
Makhleb the Destroyer, evil god of slaughter and bloodshed.
Nemelex Xobeh, god of cards.
Okawaru the Warmaster, god of battle and physical combat.
Qazlal Stormbringer, god of storms.
Ru the Awakened, god of sacrifice and inner power.
Sif Muna the Loreminder, god of magic and mystical secrets.
Trog the Wrathful, god of violent rage.
Uskayaw the Reveler, god of dancing and revelry.
Vehumet, god of destructive magic.
The Wu Jian Council, a council of formerly mortal martial artists.
Xom the Unpredictable, chaotic god of chaos.
Yredelemnul the Dark, evil god of death.
Zin the Law-Giver, good god of law and purity.
The Shining One, good god of honourable crusades against evil.

I've spent today polishing fresh-cut wooden boards and stacking them into palette's so my friend's grandmother's cousin can build her a cabinet, and I'm quite happy to have thirty minutes to write a post but won't be able to churn out a full update until four-to-five hours from now. Skimming the thread, seeing a lot of eloquent arguments about the nature of Isekai and I'm as impressed as I'm relieved that it hasn't surged into an in-and-out-of-character flame war yet.

>>3916050
Correct, I was wondering how long it'd be before someone noticed. Kudos to you, you're the first. Nethack is my jam but Crawl's pantheon is versatile and compelling enough to drop in Isekai-land as is, no problems. They're not the only group of deities, by any means, just one of the most popular.

>>3916053
You don't have to roll to increase your stats, just to determine how effective your regimen is and how far you get to the next level. It becomes harder to improve with each rank you earn but powerful magic, pact-signing, and enchanted equipment can smooth-over the process significantly.

>(8) Sweet Ride You possess any vehicle manufactured in the last century that only requires one person to drive. It is supernaturally durable, needs no fuel, and needs no maintenance. In addition, its passenger capacity and storage space are tripled, at no change to its size. Nobody will think it's weird unless you want them to. It can be enchanted and modified at no risk to its function.
>(15) Strange Aeons You no longer age, you are immune to mental influence, and you have a handful of supernatural abilities, you can enter and manipulate dreams, grow and recede alien appendages at will, and summon weak entities from Lovecraft’s mythos if you fulfill the grisly requirements.

In fact, why would gods even bother with the notion of gender or sex? Even if you were the Deity of Sex and procreation, wouldn’t you want to be either gender to attract more people from both sides?

You can choose any vehicle that fits the criteria, but I recommend taking your low reflexes and the risk of crashes into account. It can't start with any magical abilities beyond the ones mentioned in the cheat descriptor, but assuming you can get access to the appropriate subclasses, either through hiring or having their practitioners in the party, it will readily accommodate most enchantments.

It's a little complicated to get into now, but off the top of my head, we have-

>A kill-counting warrior
>A stand-using warrior
>A shadow imp rogue
>A dire imp sorcerer
>A kung-fu sorcerer
>A bona fide wizard
>A priest of Saint Michael
>A rogue with a god-tier brick phone
>An anonymous sportsman with true sight
And last but not least
>A stand user with access to the cosmic vending machine


>>3916556
>>3916564
It's the best part of the quest, in my opinion.

>>3916688
Personally, I've been blaring Bolt Thrower, Lorn, and Tool during updates, but each to their own.

>>3916625
>>3916696
Correct, the entirety of Crawl's pantheon does exist, but they're not the only set of deities out there, and are more widespread by merit of numbers than anything remotely resembling internal cohesion.

>>3916731
It's left ambiguous in-game, but I've always assumed some lean more way or another.
>>
>>3916759
Like I said, it varies. Most are probably solidly in one sex or the other, some don't care about taking on a specific sex in favour of being a platonic ideal, and a handful are "mixed" or switch as the mood strikes.

>Roll: 80
>No, civilisation is hanging on by a thread
>Q: Is the current low temperature and weather a natural state of affairs?
>Roll: 96
>Critical No, the frozen lord, Yavras the Demise is worsening winter to strengthen his own magic
>Q: Are undead outside of the grave-knight's minions a significant threat?
>Roll: 34
>Yes, they're unaffected by the cold and have been getting more numerous each season
>Q: How about bandits?
>Roll: 7
>Critical Yes, several petty warlords have begun carving out territory
>Q: Are other monsters benefitting from the crisis?
>Roll: 41
>Yes, they don't like the snow but they've been handling it better than humans
>Q: Are the various factions cooperating?
>Roll: 74
>No, their constant infighting is most of the reason civilisation hasn't collapsed
>Q: What kind of civilisation are we dealing with here? Is it a kingdom?
>Roll: 51
>No, but it used to be before it was assimilated in an empire
>Q: Is the empire still in authority?
>Roll: 66
>No, the region became too costly to maintain so the empire withdrew its troops and stopped collecting taxes
>Q: Has the region declared independence?
>Roll: 67
>No, they're still part of the empire but only in name
>Q: Is the population as a whole still loyal to the empire?
>Roll: 9
>Critical Yes, they've turned to proto-nationalism to stay unified against the encroaching warlords and increasingly long winter
>Q: Is there any open ongoing conflict?
>Roll: 72
>No, skirmishes and raids are frequent but the warlords don't have the resources or morale to siege empire settlements
>Q: Has the Adventurer's Guild maintained a presence in the region?
>Roll: 37
>Yes, they are in high demand and good work
>Q: Are they spread thin by the dangers?
>Roll: 25
>Yes, and some local militias and mercenary bands have started to pick up the slack
>Q: Are there any booby-trapped, treasure-filled ruins around the region?
>Roll: 1
>Critical Yes, abandoned forts, forgotten tombs, and ghost-towns are everywhere, and part of the reason why bandits and monsters have survived despite the cold


>cont.
>>
>>3916781
>Q: Are there any settlements nearby the ruins of the temple?
>Roll: 32
>Yes, there are seven in the span of a reasonable journey, five are fortified towns and two are small, struggling cities. Of these, four towns and one city are empire, the rest are under the control of warlords
>Q: Is the population still optimistic about the future?
>Roll: 13
>Yes, they're confident that once the Adventurer's Guild/empire's legion/warlord's warbands slay Yavras the Demise and drive the monsters back into their dens, everything's going to be okay. In the meantime, they're buckling down and making do
>Q: Is slavery banned in the region?
>Roll: 78
>No, it's widely practiced in the empire but the warlords are varied, leaning toward opposition
>Q: Following the Isekai cliche, is harem-shit socially acceptable?
>Roll: 55
>No, it's not outright banned but it's seen as distasteful
>Q: Is the written language comprehensible?
>Roll: 11
>Yes, the common script is simplified English but official documents, mystical scrolls, and religious texts are written in a stylized Japanese dialect
>Q: Is the worship of Evylivon socially accepted?
>Roll: 39
>Yes, its practitioners are increasingly rare but widely accepted and respected for the work they do

Whatever you decide to choose, internal modifications deviating from the initial factory assemblage are completely acceptable. It is, after all, a Sweet Ride.
>>
>>3916707
>>3916716
It'll be an interesting dilemma when it comes up. Makes me wonder whether you'll be spreading the veneration of Saint Michael under the Most High/Ancient of Days/Elohim, etc. in particular, or trying to get straight Catholicism, slightly edited for the setting as there's no Rome or Vatican, up and running.
>>
>>3916781
>>3916783
Well this is a mixed bag, I don’t know whether to celebrate or panic so I’ll do neither.
>>
>>3916785

So, S B E V E here is legit? The base Chassis was made in the last century, and that's the part that counts I assume.

And by the way, are the alien appendages anything I want, and can I modify my existing appendages? Pulling a tentacle out of nowhere is fine and all, but doing so with an Alex Mercer claw would be cool, but covering my body in exoskeleton, extending claws, and keeping a 4 limb body plan would be cooler.
>>
>>3916793
For me it's a delicious mix of excitement and apprehension, which is really what I want from a fantasy setting. Not to mention it seems like we're getting an adventure density to rival Tamriel with all these dungeons and forts lying around.

I guess we're being conveyed all this information from Emiya because I don't know how we would know otherwise.
>>
>>3916805
And I also assume we could just say that I have a couple of Jacks and various types of tires in the back.
>>
>>3916781
>>3916783
Just as I thought, the many suffer and the few reap the rewards. We can greatly benefit from this. In the short term, we should find one of those struggling cities.
>>
>>3916805
Yes, but a 500 MPH NASCAR Limo could be difficult to control without High Driving skill, or outright impossible on rocky terrain. It's assumed to give its driver Average skill while operating it by default, but handling is something to consider. Anything is doable.

As far as alien appendages go, you can summon claws, pinchers, tentacles, pseudopods, various eyes, slavering maws, and tendrils without difficulty. Yes, modifying your limbs and returning them to ordinary is trivial. This is an inherent part of you and can be as mild or Chaos Spawn tier as you please, but the social consequences of the latter are significant.


>>3916817
Correct, you have the tools necessary for basic maintenance and repair.

>>3916808
Yes, the priestess is filling you in.
>>
Sweet ride guy should just grab a devil 60 or a Thor.
>>
>>3916825
The implications of that are hilarious because that means that someone (looking at you David) asked how many girls is it socially acceptable to be fucking simultaneously to a Priestess living in an isolated temple.
>>
>>3916835
It's his choice to make, hyperspecialising in ludicrous speed has its benefits, as does hyperspecialising in suitability with a tank-tier RV or going somewhere in-between with a souped-up muscle car, offroad van, or milspec jeep.

>>3916836
My fucking sides
>>
>>3916825
Could I, Theoretically;

A: Affect my torso, it would be odd to turn into a monstrosity that's all but a chaos spawn on my limbs but keep an entirely normal torso.

B: Grow a carapace or shell, Forgoing the need for armor

C: Whether it affects my clothes. It would get expensive after a while

I understand If any or all of these require practice, I just want to know if it's possible at all.


Also, I'm going to be honest, S B E V E is there for the meme. My other Idea was a Rock, as we all know that the pioneers used to ride those babies for miles

You can grow limbs out of anywhere and modify the rest of your body to enhance their presence more efficient, for example, shifting your torso into a fleshy insect's abdomen to stack on more pincers or hunching it over to make room for compound-eye stalks are perfectly possible.

The carapace or shell would take relatively long and at least initially, would only be around the thickness of hardened leather or thin iron. Your clothes melt into your body while the limbs are in action, then reemerge when they're reabsorbed. Think a sort of molting, but in reverse.

I'm not aware of any classic rock manufacturers but I agree, it would be a patrician choice.

It's somewhat less stigmatised in the empire, but out in the isolated hinterlands, it's seen as something of a waste or indecent to have known to the public. Rarely a dealbreaker for adventuring types, but it can get some nasty glares and harsh whispers circulating.

>>3916865
Acceptable modifications, as far as I see it.

>>3916861
Pardon my french, but that is sexy as fuck.

Would K I L L S B E V E: Jackson Edition(with Doors) Be an option or no? When I say this I mean a Stretch Bulldozer with the Killdozer modifications(excepting the no doors part). I'm pretty sure it isn't, but it never hurts to ask.
>>
>>3916890
That would be a machine to surpass metal gear, but if the chassis hasn't been built, it's a no-go. I don't know if stretch bulldozers even exist, come to think of it.

They don't exist.

But I thought of something better.

A Steam Train. But with Tires instead of uncovered wheels for gripping ground instead of rail. Like just a wholeass Train, cars included, but with tires over the wheels. It would be the Sweetest Ride.
>>
>>3916914
That sounds really impractical, but if we can make that bitch fly we'll be in the money.

Wait if you want something long and easily modifiable, the Aussies got you.

The Cougar, comes in 4x4 or 6x6.
>>
>>3916934
The Extenda, also comes in 4x4 and 6x6.

Both have incredibly modifiable chassis that can switch around different modules in field.
>>
>>3916936
Whoops forgot the pic.

I'd suggest the Ratte but it hasn't technically been made. If you want something to knock down trees just get an Abrams or a Merkava

It's perfect. The capacity, the gunmount, the bulk. Slap a bitching paintjob on that shit and some enchants and you've got your glorious chariot to conquer the land with.

The warrior and rogue classes are best for fire support archers and stealthy snipers, respectively, but if you don't want to go straight into specialty classes for either, the best route for running a magic bowman is either choosing sorcerer and imbuing your arrows with magic, or priest and following a god or goddess that presides over archery and channeling their power. Really, any class can fill any niche given sufficient finangling, it's just a question of play-style.

>>3916963
They could go the warlord route, the bandit route, the adventurer route, the mercenary route, the empire route, the vagrants with a vigilante bent route, the innawoods not giving a fuck route, the settling down in a /comfy/town and building power route, or simply packing up and leaving for greener pastures route. There's an abundance of roads to choose from and nothing to prevent anyone from walking them, is what I'm trying to get at.

Listen, Jackson, the last thing I want to do is rain on your parade but the rules as written say that you can possess any vehicle manufactured in the last century that only requires one person to drive. Trains, by definition, require at bare minimum, a conductor, an engineer, and an absolute lad shoveling coal. Then again, the Sweet Ride cheat iterates that the vehicle in question requires no fuel or maintenance to operate, which, when I consider, means it could, in theory, get by with only a single operator...

Hmm...

>https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2009/11/19/54-wheel-drive-the-letourneau-electric-arctic-land-trains-that-put-australian-road-trains-to-shame/

Looking up, it seems there is a historical precedent for wheeled trains in arctic conditions... Huh. It legitimately stuns me but... keeping the rules- as written- in perspective, and thoroughly analysing the objective fact of their existence, I can't help but come to the conclusion that there is no valid moral, legal, or rational reason I could deprive you from choosing a wheeled arctic train as your vehicle of choice. Consider pic related, that's what you're asking for.

If you genuinely wish, you can choose to have a LeTourneau diesel-electric transmission overland train as your Sweet Ride, under the following conditions because as generous as I might be, I can't simply hand you a mobile fortress with no caveats and as powerful as the God Chaos is, even he can't send such a monstrous piece of equipment between dimensions without giving a little.

>You must collectively fuel the five furnaces of the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train a bare minimum of forty pounds of flammable fuel per car attached in addition to sixty for the front, per day, if you want to keep it moving
>You must roll a 1d6+2 for the amount of cars attached to the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train upon receiving it, and barring an ungodly amount of late modern industrialisation in a primitive world operating under different physical principles or a miraculous wish, that is it, and all you are going to get
>You must cope with the simple fact that once word gets out that the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train exists and that you are its conductor, you will have an enormous target on your back from every major faction, ambitious villain, and adventuring team out there that wants to claim it for themselves and a single slip in paranoia and the defenses you've prepared is all it will take

If you're willing to accept that and acknowledge that its living quarters are much more cramped than say, a humble RV, the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train can be yours.

Rolled 1 - 4 (1d30 - 4)

Rolling to see how many days it'll take Chase to recover from his wounds, -4 for the attention of healers, -4 for his High Toughness, and +4 for the horrific environmental conditions. Miracles of healing are almost never called when it's not a life-or-death situation or an otherwise irreversible condition, because their sacred principle of triage holds that unnecessarily dividing the attention of Elyvilon when she's already overworked is sacrilege. Odds are Chase'll recover during downtime traveling, and the scars are going to make for impressive story-fodder.
>>
>>3917316
Nah turns out it wasn't that bad kek
>>
>>3917316
Actually I somehow managed to preemptively heal myself three days ago.
>>
>>3917316
Turns out Chase is a nigh-unkillable ubermensch. No mechanical change, but the priestess is deeply impressed and the cultists feel that he has been blessed for his valour. If he doesn't personally dissuade the rumours, they'll almost certainly spread among their creed.

Ahh but the dog slave's for another player to buy not me.
I personally don't want one since they don't scale very well nor is there a good chance it'll be good enough to keep up with me even if I train it.
>"getting that pagan pussy"
That pagan pussy was also because I wanted to hook her up with Alex for shits and giggles because again, say it with me kids, that girl's pretty fucking worthless.
Doesn't really turn me on except now, I wanna fuck her just to spite you all.

I'm autistic and think the meme surrounding the mental disorder's a bit flattering but some spergs have a stick up their ass about it and I didn't want to take the 30/70 risk of blowing him off, right? Feel I might have anyways, because he really didn't respond after that, which is a shame. Don't want to end up with a repeat, you know? Keep your kinks private please, the Isekai-wish fulfillment is enough and I don't want to leak too much of our gestalt magical realms into this.

>>3917367
Bit late on the last part ehh bruv.

>>3917362
The problem with that is you are unlikely to find a slave like that in any normal slave market. However, I'm sure there are people geased into slavery so the world elites can have their bodyguard concubines.

I'm writing it, there's a massive amount of ground to cover here >>3916781 and here >>3916783, not even getting into covering the fluff for everyone's actions and the distinctions of where you can choose to go. What do you plan on doing about the rumours in the Elyvilon worshipers, anyway? Might make it a bit easier to get admission to a temple in the future, but even a mild reputation like that has its downsides.
>>
>>3917388
Sure, I don't see why he couldn't be tutoring you in the martial art of the Kerak. Of course, you need to be Exceptional in mundane martial arts before you can start getting ranks in supernatural martial arts, but given enough time and effort it's doable.
>>
>>3917389
How could I possibly prove or disprove the statement that I was blessed by a goddess? They're cultists, let them believe what they will. It's not my business to tell them what to think.
>>
>>3917393
Well, any bit helps. He just might put me to above average or high on mundane martial arts so it’s certainly a leg up from just above average wrestling.
>>
>>3917398
That's why they defaulted to a supernatural explanation instead of owing it to your surprising fortitude.

>>3917403
Ah, I forgot about your Above Average wrestling. That should speed the martial arts training significantly, even moreso when you remember the focus is on grappling, breaking bones, and bending objects.
>>
>>3917375
God damn can nobody really tell I actually don't wanna fuck anybody because my preferences for romantic interests are so out there that they'll pretty much never happen?
And that most of my hitting on people and memery's just a defence mechanism to avoid conflict and general insanity to lighten the mood?
It's pretty much unless they're Thanos Infinity Stone Levels of power, with instant S class social links of trust and crazier than Himiko Toga I can't seriously think about starting a relationship with anybody.

Act even worst than autistic, just pathetic.

>let me just tl;dr this.
Unless it's for the sake of power, I refuse to fall in love or in lust.

Other players are fine though, It's amusing hooking them up with NPCs just so I can mock them, blackmail them or create vulnerabilities later.

BTW I know I sound like an edgy incel but I might as well get it out of the way.

Yeah, as soon as he explained his martial art, I knew that I’d have to ask him to train me.

>>3917411
I have a lot of respect for that, and I'd honestly assumed you were shooting the shit from the get-go. You're not an incel man, you're a volcel, and that's commendable.

>>3917421
It really would do a lot to pad out your skillset.
>>
>>3917411
You’re on 4chan brother. The demographics may have changed over these last several years but many people here can relate to having incel-like tendencies or beliefs. (Then again nothing you said really ties into that)

If I can’t be a god, I’ll be a low budget Batman.

Low-budget batman, minor god of stealth and combat, what's the difference?

>>3917367
Ah, a another autist!
What, you thought I put “Actual Autism” as one of my weaknesses for shits and giggles? I was actually diagnosed, and I think it’s kind of funny how most of 4chan uses it as an insult.
>>3917411
I agree with you about the fact that love and lust makes people act stupid, I’ve seen it myself. But to be fair to the others, you are quite eccentric and when I say that to you and not the magical frog that exists on a metaphysical plane you know it means something.
Anyways, I have work to get to (I live in GMT) so I won’t be here for a while.
>>
>>3917430
Divinity is overated in my opinion. Sure you are immensely powerful but your ability to actually exercise that power tends to be severely limited by divine law. Not to mention that pantheon's have the dumbest politics imaginable. I would much rather be an immortal without the chains of divinity holding me back.
>>
>>3917432
There isn’t much, but I’ll need some gadgets/ powerful weapons and a sweet ride. No god or Batman is complete without such things.
>>
>>3917442
I’m more interested in it for the novelty and title. I probably wouldn’t do god things as an actual god.
>>
>>3917435
As far as I've always been concerned, eccentricity is nothing but a fancy word for an actual personality.

In the aftermath of the repetitive undead extermination, each of our intrepid heroes, edgy antiheroes, blatant vigilantes, apathetic hangers-on, and potential villains held back only by their company are on edge but when it becomes clear that “Ithazad the Soulreaper” isn’t riding back any time soon, the tension defuses and everyone winds down. Two crude campfires are pitched by the cultists grateful to be alive despite the loss of their temple, and between what they happened to have on them, the Isekai victim’s rations, and a dented pot, all and sundry manage to enjoy a simple meal of stew.

Might not be what some are used to and might remind others of home, but it’s what there is and what most eat while they softly grill the priestess for setting-information. From what the party gathers, she’s convinced they’re wandering adventurers with strange magic from a foreign land and she isn’t wrong. What Miyashita and one or two of the savvier survivors of the fold have to say paints a dark picture for this region of the world, a situation getting badder by the year but not yet bleak, and with plenty of opportunity for a group of men with their talents. The land of Iphionor, once called the Sapphire Yonder for the prevalence of gems, now called the Forsaken Reaches for its abandonment, has fallen sway under the spell of the frozen lord in his distant crystal vault.

Some claim he is a powerful arch-sorcerer pursuing mystic might, others that he is a demon prince seeking to spread mortal suffering, a lich king trying to end the reign of the living, or even an unseelie fae lord perpetuating a petty prank beyond mortal comprehension. All anyone agrees on is that his name is Yavras and that he’s earned the title of The Demise, for his curse on the spinning of the seasons has lead to nothing else. Each year to pass, winter is harsher, lasts one week longer, and the sky gets darker. He’s been at it for twelve years now, this is the worst winter yet, and it’s all that the peasantry can do to feed themselves and their families in the narrow window of warmth.

Unable to handle the increasing difficulty of collecting shrinking taxes from an already isolated territory while warring with the hellish invasions, repelling the constant monster incursions, and thwarting the cyclic world-ending cataclysms, the illustrious empire of Pōtaru Atesaki withdrew its legions after four years and left the people to their own devices. When they left, the legitimacy of the regional governor (descended from the ancient monarchic bloodline that bent the knee instead of letting their citizens be slaughtered to keep them on the throne) plummeted in the sight of the population and roughly a third of the settlements declared independence overnight. The following year, when their wages couldn’t be paid almost two-thirds of his soldiers went rogue and cooperating with the bandit gangs growing in leaps and bounds, they began parceling out the territory.

>cont.
>>
>>3917477

By today, another third of the settlements have collapsed or fallen to warlords, with a small minority crawling back to “the true authority” of the realm. The only thing the province has going for it is the fact that the Adventurer’s Guild never left and with their policy of non-assistance to illegitimate conquerors, they have a soft monopoly on their services. It’s a significant boon to their continued survival but the market demand of those that can’t afford or can’t receive their help has opened the way for dozens of upstart mercenary chapters, community militias, and freelance monster hunters to fill the void.

Only the enormous amount of treasure-filled, trap-lined, and monster-infested ruins dotting the land has kept the economy from dwindling completely and despite the lack of outside aid, the people have drawn closer together than ever. They’re looking forward to a future that has to be better than what they’re facing now, because the beloved Pōtaru Atesaki can’t have forgotten them and there can’t be anything else.

Miyashita Emiya is happy to tell them that there are seven settlements in a month’s travel and most adhere to the empire’s laws, because even though she has no love for it, she’s certain the Adventurer’s Guild would love to get in touch with them. Alternatively, there are a few owned by themselves or a warlord, but that one’s not so bad and they might be able to get by working with them. Or, she’s sure, they could do well striking out into the wilderness to clear out some dungeons and return their treasures to revitalise the marketplaces and line their pockets. The sheltered priestess hasn’t been outside of the temple for longer than two years of her life altogether, but she’s heard plenty of stories from wounded men recovering there and thinks she knows enough to give a bit of advice.

“There’s an old saying that means a lot more these days. Don’t waste fuel on a fire if you don’t have the wood to burn it. I hope you take it to heart, I’d hate to see anything happen to you.” For the rest of the night, she explains what she knows about the three-pronged scepter of martyr’s mourning and what Ithazad the Soulreaper might want to do with it. Long ago, a grand hero whose name has been forgotten sacrificed his eternal soul to keep the biggest demongate ever seen shut and when Elyvilon saw what torments awaited him in the underserved afterlife, she brought down her power in the only act of violence she’s ever done, incinerating his essence on the most fundamental level so his consciousness would know the dreamless sleep of oblivion instead of unending agonies for defying the hells.

>cont.
>>
>>3917477
>>3917479
Doing this filled her with so much guilt, she wept in remorse and from the heavens fell ten shimmering pools of ichorous tears, filled with divinity tainted by sorrow. Not wanting this remainder of the martyr’s sacrifice to be forgotten, the sages of Elyvilon gathered the waters and bottled them in the only receptacles worthy to hold them. Three nigh-indestructible staves of glorious gold forged by cyclopean smith-lords who had a favour to pay, they were infused with the goddess’s tears and malformed by the sadness, each immaculate work of art tarnishing and growing a prong to represent the number they held.

There is a two-pronged scepter, a three-pronged scepter, and a five-pronged scepter, each coming together to count ten, representing the fivefold weeping to fall from Elyvilon’s eyes. It was the idea that the location of each would be hidden from those who knew of the other, and they would be hidden in the humblest, smallest, and least-known shrines across the land. When the grave-knight came, he had to crush the skulls of eight men who stood with their hands at their sides and dig the holy artifact from where it was hidden in a pot of scrolls. Now that he’s claimed such a venerable relic, there’s a chance that he can wield it to detect the locations of the others and if they were each collected and corrupted into a mockery of everything they stand for, it’s impossible to know how much damage could be done.

When the Isekai victims come to terms with the weight of the implications there, they sleep on it, go about the beginnings of their separate routines, and spend much of the day discussing where they want to go. Ironically enough, Alex, Anon, and the priest of Saint Michael have the same idea of strength-training exercises and take a moment to decide how they feel about being dropped into the same party as their fundamental opposite, unintended or not. At the break of dawn it becomes clear that either Chase has a near-inhuman capacity for self-recovery or has received a minor blessing from Elyvilon for laying down his life for strangers. Coming as a surprise to no-one, the cultists assume the latter and give him a wide berth of respect. Orion and Terry come to find out that they share an affinity and aptitude for grappling, respectively, and the sorcerer begins drilling the rogue in proper stances.

>cont.

>>3917481
For his part, Lie Alius meditates on the intricacies of his magic and finds that, while his third eye seems clouded from mental fatigue and the lingering memories of the combine harvester, he is able to glean a handful of basic principles. Where sorcery is wild and free, managing brief and unpredictable but mindbogglingly powerful effects, wizardry is calm and bound, ill-fitting for flashy theatrics but well-suited to long-lasting and stable spells. This leans toward an unbreakable defense and slow-to-start but monolithic attacks. While a sorcerer might struggle to erect a dirt wall, the wizard has no trouble rising stones to the horizon, and they might be able to fire off a chaotic storm of dazzling and impossible energies, given sufficient, precious time to contemplate, their more restrained counterparts have the capacity to fling meteors from above, send bands of warriors into a comatose stupor, or sunder the veil to briefly bathe their foes in malefic balefire. Such grand spells are rarely worth the investment during active combat situations, but if he wished, Lie could easily demean himself with the sorcery his scholarly education has, by his sight, surpassed. It’s a shame the finer details of wizardry are incomprehensible to the minds of normalfags.

Eventually, when the morning sun feels like it should be around two hours away from noon, the Isekai victims consider where exactly they want to go. Miyashita is quick to insist that as long as they can follow them through the forests, it makes no difference, because they can seek solace with a temple of Elyvilon or build one for the sake of the sick and needy.

> Where does everyone want to go?

> The city of Caelkirk, boasting almost fourteen-thousand permanent residents, it is a bustling metropolis by this world’s standards and home to a thriving population of adventurers working out of their Guildhouse. Only a handful of provincial troops are stationed here, but the local militia fills in the gaps and any help filling out their bounties would be sorely appreciated. Like any other settlement of Pōtaru Atesaki, they demand a ten percent tax on trade, alongside five percent for the Guild’s maintenance dues, though the latter is waived in the case of members. In recent years, the gnomish gambling and draught-house has fallen into disrepair but the temple of Zin has grown more popular, something the pious hold as a sign of prosperity and renewal in the days to come. It is two weeks and three days of hiking away, in woods that have largely been cleared of monsters and brigands.

>cont.
>>
>>3917482

> The town of Ampleforth, home to merely four-hundred beleaguered souls, they’ve stopped paying taxes to the province that doesn’t have the troops to defend them and managed to ward off beasts and bandits alike through sheer grit and torchfire, but even the deafest and dumbest among them admits they can’t keep this up forever. Before tales of their thick palisade and improvised pikes took precedence, they were known for brewing some of the best frost-apple cider this far south and the hot-springs furriers, rangers, and fools venturing to the north found to be an indispensable stop. It is four weeks and five days of hiking away, in woods that are increasingly frigid and dangerous the farther one goes.
> The city of Taedmorden, ruled by Yokoyama Fellhand, who was a bad-tempered but honest samurai before the Pōtaru Atesaki left their subjects behind and disillusioned, he decided that he could help them better. Under his reign, eight-thousand citizens are expected to pay a fourth of their earnings in a tax that goes to keeping his soldiers paid, the public foodstores filled, and the incense candles of the threefold shrine to Okawaru, the Wu-Jian Council, and Hepliakqlana lit. He has a standing oath to feed and house any outside warriors willing to take on the difficult but necessary tasks his footmen either can’t or won’t do on their own. It is three weeks and two days of hiking away, along much of the same path that leads to Calekirk, who maintains a tense rivalry with Taedmorden.
> The crypt of Takaki Naizen, a champion of the Iphionori ruling dynasty dead for almost six-hundred years now, but legend has it that his sword, a masterwork shimmering in lightning remains along with his sumptuous grave-sum of silver and gold. The only problem is that no-one has managed to get through the spike-pitted hallways, past the shrieking wraiths, and through the test of measured wisdom to enter his inner sanctum and tear it from his slowed-with-age but shockingly nimble corpse’s hands. It is only eight days of hiking away but the lifeless skeletons left out front to freeze dissuade most visitors.
>>
>>3917483

Caelkirk is the closest and seems safe enough but fianically Taedmorden may be the better option.
>>
>>3917481

I think at this point I'd discovered my self-sufficient nature. Which starts the long adventure of improving myself further at night when everyone is asleep.
>>
>>3917483
Taedmorden seems like the best way for us to build captial without having to worry about starving or freezing to death. That said, I want to hit up Takai Naizen once we're prepared. I have a feeling that what we would face there would be similar to the composition of Ithazad's army. Big name dungeons like that are also likely to have some good equipment. Definitely something to consider once we've had some experience.
>>
Hope no one gets the idea to edgy fedora tip if Tae gets chosen.
>>
>>3917663
All good ideas, Chase. I get overwhelmed when I have this many options.

>>3917663

I'll check back in 5-6 hours and we can resume. This really is a group decision. Keeping yourselves fed and warm on the way shouldn't be too difficult with your cheats, sorcery, and Orion and Alex's skill in wilderness survival, but it might be lean without rations. Still waiting on Jackson to decide what vehicle he wants to go for, the implications of the wheeled train are interesting. On one hand, it's an extremely powerful piece of equipment in more ways than one, but on the other, it's a massive amount of effort and attention.
>>
Come to think of it, where is everyone today? Usually most of us are around by this time of day.

Also, I've done some thinking about Orion and I don't think it's a good idea to have player characters that are never active just float around the group doing nothing. He should become an npc at whatever town we end up going to if he's not going to play.
>>
>>3917862
It's Veteran's Day in the US, so a decent chunk of burgers are likely busy with friends and family. If Orion doesn't post by the end of thread #3, we'll go ahead and retire him, until then he'll float in the background.
>>
>It is three weeks and two days of hiking away, along much of the same path that leads to Calekir
It seems to me that Calekirk is along the way to Taedmorden. Thus, even if Taedmorden is a better destination, I think it's better to first stop at Calekirk.
>>
>>3917885
Good catch. At the very least we could rest and resupply before we move on.
>>
>>3917885

I'm fine with this

I hope we'll find ruins filled with treasure and adventure mere meters from the side of the road in typical Elder Scrolls fashion.

Yeah stop at Caelkirk first. They've still got missions we can do and we're low on rations.

Plus you could totally make a lot more money in Caelkirk. Think of all the machines we can patent in their trade City, pens and shit.

So.

I have a few Choices for my Sweet Ride.

>S B E V E(Hyperluxurious Drag limo)

>A Rock(with reigns and internal room, of course)

>Killdozer 2: Electric Boogaloo(With Doors and a liveable interior this time)

>Arctic Train(with Limits)

>An RV/Party Bus(obvious Reasons)

I don't know what to choose. If I can get a confirmation from the OP that the Arctic Train
can look like a Polar Express style train (On Sno tires instead of rails of course) for that A E S T H T I C factor and whimsy with no changes to the mechanical limitations imposed for having something so powerful as a train, It'd be a for sure pick, as it would automatically be the Sweetest of Rides.

I'd even be willing to take a further hit to the Fuel Efficiency If it could look like The Polar Express.

But as is, I'm torn between S B E V E (For the Meme) a Killdozer 2, Electric Boogaloo(For the Practicality), and a Rock (For a Healthy mix of both).

What do You think fellow Isekaiees? What should be my Sweet Ride? Further Detail will be brought into it If we narrow it down.
>>
>>3918015
I would go for the killdozer personally. The others are decent for novelty but I would go with something that's fun to use and effective on a consistent basis. Also, if you're going with the wheeltrain it's not going to be able to move unless you're using the Alaskan model. There's a reason the Polar Express sticks to the tracks and the sky.
>>
>>3918029
That gives me an idea. Tank tracks. But on a train. The Polar Express but with tracks does sound like it could move, right?

I'm grasping at straws here to be honest, I used to watch that movie every day on VHS as a kid and the power of nostalgia compels me. If I get a hard no, I'll stop immediately, and I completely understand why OP would deny me, but until then I'll keep asking.
>>
>>3918042
Take all the issues with early tanks and multiply it by 10^the number of cars you have. The whole thing will tip the second it's not on completely even terrain.

In my opinion, the vehicle itself doesn't matter as much as what it allows you to do, and the killdozer let's you take a large amount of people across the land at incredible speed as well as serve as a destructive ramming weapon that could crush fortifications without slowing down. That will always be worth more than a novelty vehicle to me.
>>
Also, you could always build a magical train later on if you so desired.
>>
Screw I think the train's a dumb idea and it's a missed opportunity for us to be smuggles/traders but maybe that's just because it isn't nearly dumb enough.

>How about this!
Modify the train to have arms that magically lay tracks for it!

OR give it Quadra Crab legs to maneuver terrain!
>>
>>3918042
Fight for that train like you’ve never fought before.
>>
>>3918068
I used to be obsessed with them, and they still hold a warm spot in my heart. Especially the steam variety.
>>
So are we all on board with visiting Calekirk? Personally, I'm against staying there for long because it's too much of a typical start town complete with a state funded adventurers guild.
>>
>>3918229
Yeah, we’re just passing through. It should only be a 1-2 days stay at most. I want to avoid as many clichés as possible.
>>
>>3918054
Roads are flat enough. Just make the Tracks be double-wide. If it's even allowed, that is. I mean the train-on-tracks-off-the-tracks part, I can assume the former will be allowed if the latter is.
>>
>>3918242
The train just seems a lot more trouble than it's worth with all the attention it will attract. On top of the general impractically of manning a train and taking it down roads which are often incredibly varied in their quality (In the snow no less), there's no way to hide it meaning it will need to be guarded at all times lest it be taken by those who cover it's arcane technology. It's just a bad pick overall.
>>
>>3918257
How would you hide a Killdozer?
>>
>>3918257
Ah, but you forget, You asked for this, if not directly
>>3916869
This is the Fuckhugest thing I can feasibly think of, And although the "Smash Walls" part is rather one use, The fortress part is perfect.

I'm still in the crablegs party but

>Nobody will think it's weird unless you want them to. It can be enchanted and modified at no risk to its function.

But

>You must cope with the simple fact that once word gets out that the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train exists and that you are its conductor, you will have an enormous target on your back from every major faction, ambitious villain, and adventuring team out there that wants to claim it for themselves and a single slip in paranoia and the defenses you've prepared is all it will take

If you're willing to accept that and acknowledge that its living quarters are much more cramped than say, a humble RV, the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train can be yours.

Seems like only the train gets a suspicious penalty as one of it's requirements to get warped here.
>>
>>3918275
I think The "Nobody will think it's weird part" is relating to the "Inside is physics shatteringly large" part.
>>
>>3918275
Since when are RVs more spacious than trains? Besides, we have a party of 9+ an RV or some standard military all terrain vehicle won’t hold all of us. We need to think about which vehicle best suits the team and the environment we’ve been put into. Using giant mechanical crab legs to maneuver through a tundra is pretty far removed from what someone would consider a good idea. The Killdozer and Wheel Train are pretty much our best options.
>>
>>3918268
The size isn't exactly specified, but even a bulldozer would be feasible to his with an illusion. The Polar Express is a 4-6-2 Pacific Type1 locomotive which is fucking 80ft long, and that's just the engine itself without any accompanying cars attached. You would need a coal car of similar length to even fuel the thing. That's ~160ft for the bare minimum possible setup.
>>
>>3918284
> In addition, its passenger capacity and storage space are tripled, at no change to its size.

Is part of the cheat. So it has triple storage.

I wasn't the one that said anything about an RV. The full quote for all the penalties of the train are:

>>3917282
>You must collectively fuel the five furnaces of the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train a bare minimum of forty pounds of flammable fuel per car attached in addition to sixty for the front, per day, if you want to keep it moving
>You must roll a 1d6+2 for the amount of cars attached to the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train upon receiving it, and barring an ungodly amount of late modern industrialisation in a primitive world operating under different physical principles or a miraculous wish, that is it, and all you are going to get
>You must cope with the simple fact that once word gets out that the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train exists and that you are its conductor, you will have an enormous target on your back from every major faction, ambitious villain, and adventuring team out there that wants to claim it for themselves and a single slip in paranoia and the defenses you've prepared is all it will take

If you're willing to accept that and acknowledge that its living quarters are much more cramped than say, a humble RV, the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train can be yours.
>>
>>3918284
It's referring to the built-in cabin, not the cabs I could have in the cars.
>>
>>3918285
It needs far less fuel than it should, So we should be fine-ish.
>>
>>3918291
If you're not going to haul cars then what is the point of having a train?
>>
>>3918288
>>3918289
I get what you’re saying but no one said that we could only sleep in the living quarters. We’ve got anywhere between 3-9 cars to work with here and it still gets the triple the passenger capacity and storage buff.
>>
>>3918293
But we are. It just so happens that you said we would need a car just as long as the engine to fuel it. We could get away with a downright tiny car if we wanted. One full tree would probably be enough for a day or two.
>>
>>3918294
I'm not trying to change his mind about the train.
He's already decided he wants it.

I'm just saying I thought it said one of the penalties is specifically that people would notice it because it is.
Not to mention the other penalties like constantly having to chop down trees or find fuel for it.

IF I still felt like making an argument which I don't since I know it won't get me any where I'd point out that getting a modern day light armored vehicle would be much more practical.
>>
>>3918295
What I'm trying to get across is you're going through a lot of hoops to have a train when the impracticality of having multiple cars for living and storage precludes you from the best utility of trains.
>>
>>3918302
Just let him have it! Let him witness his dreams and let me stick crab legs on it later.
>>
>>3918303
I will let you do so, should it be allowed. Retractable, of Course.
>>
>>3918302
But. Trains. I very well know it's not a rational argument. But it's a good one.
>>
>>3918300
It actually doesn't require fuel as per the cheat. Although, the cheat notably doesn't give you the skills required to actually drive it so I'm not sure how Jackson is going to learn how to operate a 1930's locomotive while he's in fantasyland.
>>
>>3918307
Ahh but that's only normal vehicles and I quote QM.

>If you genuinely wish, you can choose to have a LeTourneau diesel-electric transmission overland train as your Sweet Ride, under the following conditions because as generous as I might be, I can't simply hand you a mobile fortress with no caveats and as powerful as the God Chaos is, even he can't send such a monstrous piece of equipment between dimensions without giving a little.

>You must collectively fuel the five furnaces of the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train a bare minimum of forty pounds of flammable fuel per car attached in addition to sixty for the front, per day, if you want to keep it moving

>>3918307

I get average skill so I can drive it.

and
>>3917282
I do have to get fuel, for the utterly massive utility of the train.
>>
>>3918300
I can understand how a military vehicle would be helpful but consider the scope of the hazzards we face. In this world we’re either going to get hit with arrows and spears, or blasts of hellfire and whirlwind spells. The former won’t do shit to either and the latter will wreck both. At least with the train we have “extra lives” so to speak due to the fact that we can detach cars if we need to. Statistically we should survive in their longer than a military vehicle.

It doesn't say that on the cheat and if you yourself have experience as a conductor than you know better than I how impractical this is and nothing I could possibly say will convince you.

Modern even light armor is made to stand up against IED attacks so more Mid Level spells are out.
You also need to consider that modern light armor is incredibly quick compared to a giant freaking train so you can just run away or maneuver around.

>At least with the train we have “extra lives” so to speak due to the fact that we can detach cars if we need to
Ahh but that's not true,
If you have a giant ass train sure you can blow up some compartments and still be fine but you have consider the fact that if you hit a compartment with a sufficiently powerful spell you might detract and knock the entire thing over.
Not even considering the fact that with it's speed mostly going forward, you can just attack the engine and render the compartments useless boxes.

We can just Armor and Enchant it later if we really need to. Train cars are pretty sturdy as is though.
>>
>>3918319
That doesn’t make it invincible,supernaturally durable could mean a great deal of things. The only real downfall the train has is the fuel and it’s size. The thing is, most of the suggested vehicles are rather large so concealment isn’t really an option for most vehicles. Who knows, all of that mass could come in handy one of these days ( assuming that the dice don’t screw us over).

When this dumbass land train gets picked I'm just going to run alongside it the whole time out of contempt for it's absurd existence. I'm probably going to end up faster too because it's dragging Itself through the snow the whole time.
>>
>>3918329
Ahh but regardless of whether it blows up or it, it might actually be worst to have the compartments not blow up.

The kinetic force of the explosion hitting the side of the train has an amazing chance of tipping the entire thing over, the more compartments you have the riskier it'll get.

>Modern even light armor is made to stand up against IED attacks so more Mid Level spells are out.
You also need to consider that modern light armor is incredibly quick compared to a giant freaking train so you can just run away or maneuver around.

Considering the fact that spell casters are only limited by their will power and imagination, the term “mid level spell” doesn’t mean anything since they wouldn’t use one to try and take it down. Also those vehicles aren’t as mobile as you think. Certainly not enough to avoid bolts of lightning or giant sink holes materializing out of nowhere.

>Ahh but that's not true,

If the spell is that strong it would wreck the military vehicle, but more likely than not it would just tear the train car to pieces or rip it off of the train entirely. We’re a bigger target in the train, that’s for sure but only about 10-25% of the target actually matters. If the military vehicle were to be hit by the same spell it would be game over with little to no chance of survival.

>>
>>3918362
I bet a supernaturally durable armored vehicle could survive a fireball, but going by your assumptions I think anything that could wreck the car would also tip the train over. Also, if you're worried about losing the car mending spells definitely exist.

No not really, I mean we can consider the Sorcerers here low-mid tier casters since they can barely fire spells.
They COULD be considered limited in their will and imagination too but that just shows their limits are pretty weak.
I know it's mostly up to luck but I doubt we'd be seeing casters that can control reality at least until midgame.

>Also those vehicles aren’t as mobile as you think. Certainly not enough to avoid bolts of lightning or giant sink holes materializing out of nowhere.
Ahh but it's still much more maneuverable than a train. I'm not talking specifically about STRYKERS or BOXERS but also MRAPs who are even lighter than IFVs while are still built to resist explosions. Going 70-80kmkm/hr off road and 105 on road.
All may I add in cardinal directions compared to most trains which are made mostly to move forward or back or that giant tractor.

>If the spell is that strong it would wreck the military vehicle, but more likely than not it would just tear the train car to pieces or rip it off of the train entirely.
I'm skipping this because I find it irrelevant and I don't see your point.
We can come back to it later if you want.

>only about 10-25% of the target actually matters. If the military vehicle were to be hit by the same spell it would be game over with little to no chance of survival.
This is honestly a really dumb argument and I don't know why you keep pushing it.
"If the military vehicle were to be hit by the same spell it would be game over with little to no chance of survival"
Is pretty retarded, let me rephrase that
"If the engine compartment of the train is hit by the same spell it would be game over with little to no chance of survival"
It's honestly the same thing except armor obviously has more armor.
It's still easy to aim for the engine especially with your theoretical sinkhole spell.
It's just with a military vehicles you STILL have a better chance of maneuvering around it or will you somehow ignore or refuse to acknowledged that even if Light armor isn't as dexterous as people make it out to be it can still turn worlds better than a FREAKING TRAIN.

>>3917914
Time has passed, but the roads haven't moved. Though some of those closest to the road have been cleared out, many are still there and that's saying nothing about the residents that took up shop after the previous ones were driven out.

>>3918015
I'm sorry, but as far as I can tell after fifteen minutes of digging, a traditional Polar Express-tier train on all-terrain tires has never been manufactured and isn't applicable.

>>3918042
I also watched the old VHS extensively, but allowing you to take a LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train is already an enormous stretch.

>>3918058
Constructing a magical train is possible given sufficient Intelligence, Engineering skill, and resources, and arguably less difficult than fashioning a more modern mode of conveyance. It wouldn't be easy and you'd have to lay down extensive amount of tracks if you don't want enough magic to shatter a mountain lifting its multiple tens of tons into the air, but it is possible.

>>3918066
Neither of the proposed modifications have been manufactured, therefore they are invalid. The train would be an obscene boon if you decided to go the merchant route, essentially the storage capacity of a caravan train of hundreds with a fraction of the vulnerability.

>>3918257
Depends on what you're prioritising. If you want storage space and sheer destructive capacity by virtue of the ungodly amount of weight moving forward at enchanted chariot speeds, it is, par none, the best pick. If you want a mobile fortress or ambulatory citadel, it could fit the bill. However, if you want anything else, there are better options.

>>3918257
The LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train has an ungodly amount of torque, but you are correct, narrow roads could be a problem if you don't feel like using its durability to run a path of ruin through the forest.

>>3918268
As per the rules of the cheat, you wouldn't need to hide the Killdozer. People would find it an intimidating, badass, or imposing vehicle depending, but in the same way they would be thrown out of sorts by an ogre bodyguard or wyvern mount, not because of its advanced technology.

>>3918280
Tripled storage capacity is a significant boon with a standard vehicle, with a LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train, it is unthinkable.

>cont.
>>
>>3918381
My point is that if the train is getting totally fucked, so is the military vehicle whichever one it may be. The thing is, that spell that will destroy the entire vehicle in the case of the latter, may just destroy a segment of the former. Of course both could wipeout but there’s a small chance that the train will just have to do without a cart rather than be completely destroyed. As for the potency of spells. Our party members are new to this and even they could theoretically wreck either vehicle if the dice permits. An experienced or highly advanced caster could undoubtedly get the job done.
>>
>>3918389

>>3918307
>>3918311
It requires an unholy amount of fuel to keep moving, but paying for/obtaining an army of hirelings/slaves/unintelligent minions could reduce the workload considerably.

>>3918336
The LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train tipping over is another risk, albeit less pronounced than with a conventional tracked train.

>>3918319
>>3918323
He'd be endowed with Average skill for maneuvering his vehicle of choice, whether that's a gyrocopter, killdozer, or LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train.

>>3918344
It's insane but if the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train is your genuine choice, I'm not going to railroad you.

>>3918357
The speed is mediocre, but the storage capacity is grotesque.

>>3918368
Good night.

>>3918381
Like any other choice, the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train has its downsides.

>>3918386
Glad to have you on-board.

>>3918387
Ambushing them before they cast a spell, disrupting their focus, or coming at them too quickly from too many angles to counter, among others, are all more than viable methods of countering sorcerers. Considering the esoteric defenses and the offensive gaps of sorcerers, Death Count is possibly the best cheat for fighting magic users.

It could be targeted but that doesn’t mean it will be 100% of the time. With your suggestions, there’s pretty much only one possible target. I understood what you were doing but you must understand my argument on some level.
>>
>>3918403
I don’t see why not, but you should know that each OP has a slightly different set of traits they use for the profiles. They’re not too different though so it shouldn’t be a problem. OP can just ignore the information he doesn’t need.
>>
>>3918411
Anyone with any brains at all will aim for the engine. If they miss they could hit a compartment instead. On a LAV there are no compartments to be hit. The fact that a train can get hit in more places isn't an advantage, it actually increases the chance of derails.
>>
>>3918411
I do but that's like saying there's 20% chance to hit compartment 1, 20% percent chance to hit compartment 2, 20% chance of hitting compartment 3 or 20% chance of hitting the engine compartment and 20% chance of hitting nothing when you COULD just have 20% chance of hitting an armored vehicle and 80% chance of hitting nothing else.

And don't pull that bullshit about them targeting the other compartments as decoys which THEY COULD but can you imagine the cost if we lose them every other battle?

And don't give that bullshit about "At least it's better than losing the whole vehicles" yeah it's better to lose your toes than your foot just don't be retarded and don't lose either.

Especially since AGAIN it's so much easier to avoid damage in an armored vehicles compared to and I can't stress this enough, A FREAKING TRAIN.

>you must understand my argument on some level
I understand what you're trying to say and it's retarded and fallatical.
I'm not even trying to convince Jackson otherwise but you really can't argue a train has better staying power than a military vehicle.

Hell I'm already planning on using that train to run drugs and supplies.

This time, David's call is picked up almost immediately by a harsh, hissing voice. "Listen here, sorcerer and you listen well.

Meditating on the nature of magic, the wizard devises an illusion to alter Alex's appearance to that of an adorable, if bulky twelve year old child. It is only theory and he'd have the dire imp's permission to well and truly test it, but he's confident he has an adequate, repeatable spell. Somewhat obvious for anyone with arcane sight, but magic users are rare, aren't they?

Much like a child trying to improve the pace of his breathing to better himself at sports, he doesn't know where to start and will need someone better to help him learn how to improve. It's good exercise though and tapping into the Death Count while slashing and striking at the wind is a serene experience.

>>3918549
Can I at least try to diagnose? Wait a minute. I use Death Count on myself to find the imperfections in my technique so I can know what to work on.

REEEE >>3918574 Ah, it's fine, I'll count this sometime next thread.

Can’t wait. It’ll be good to speak with people in-game again.

>>3918600
After much lengthy debate and discussion of the merits and detriments of each destination, the party and the followers of the maiden goddess come to the conclusion that Taedmorden is the superior choice. Granted, the tax isn't ideal but between the free lodgings and amount of work they'll be receiving, it's the best option they have. Ever the analyst, Lie suggests that they make a brief detour to Caelkirk to see what it has to offer en route to Taedmorden.

The rest agree that it's a good decision and without further ado, they begin hiking and getting to know themselves better. Everyone but the imps inured to the conditions of the hells thanks their lucky stars that they arrived in winter clothes and if it weren't for the magic users and savvy of the cultists, the lifesaving warmth of a fire each night would be far from guaranteed. Not all of the Isekai victims is experienced with surviving in the wilderness, and so as everyone knows, those that are don't have any amount of formalised training. This isn't helped by the fact that it's the middle of winter and if it weren't for [Dr. Stone] and [Speed Demon]'s ability to detect and catch small game, along with the cultist's comprehensive understanding of plant lore and the rations they came with, they'd be going to sleep hungry more often than not.

Despite the frigid conditions, a sense of optimism fills the men (and woman) of the expedition and when a week has come to pass, they are confident that their fortunes will better soon. The temptation to raid Takaki Naizen's crypt is easily quelled, out of common sense more than any greed, but some thoughts linger on the power of the lightning sword. Others consider the ramifications of the conversation that David had with the samurai warlord before they left the ruins of the temple, but whether it's excited anticipation or anxious dread has yet to be retroactively determined.

>>3918524
The man on the other end of the line waits for a response, and from the palpable tension in the silence, David gets the strong impression he doesn't care for bureaucrats.
>>
>>3918627
Ohh we running night?
"Uggh, I'm not whoever or whatever that is."

"My name is David. I'm an adventurer from a distant land calling in because me and my group are stuck in bumfuck nowhere with no clue what to do"

"I wanted to get a feel for what type of person you are; please don't just spout hotblooded cliches, Ask you what you need; what we might be able to give you as well and finally to warn you regardless of if we want to or not, our arrival might herald chaos."

"Ohh and just as a warning the Cult of Elyvilon
got raided with barely any survivors."

"They lost their artifact and there are barely any survivors. I hear you're a man of honor so regardless of how our negotiations go, I beseech you to consider giving them asylum. I'm sure their healers can pull their weight even if their Priestess seems useless."
>>
Are we running till late at night, cause I got a fever and I wanna wake up early tomorrow. I can stay up late just wondering.
>>
>>3918646
The aggression leaves immediately, replaced with a focus sharp enough to cut butter.

"Shazai itashimasu, I spoke hastily but the incessant cowards have bothered me each fortnight and my patience runs thin. I need men strong of limb and firm of mind, ready and willing to do what must be done. I offer compensation, less than the Guild, but these tasks benefit the people of Taedmorden, not the unkempt fools in their greasy halls."

"If your party slays your number and then some in thieves and vermin, you will have my respect. The Cult of Evylivon has fallen? Was it scourged by the living dead or the honourless dogs of my rivals? I know of no artifact but I know well of their deeds and they can expect shelter in my walls."
>>
>>3918646
>>3918668
Not running tonight, only getting the phone-conversation out of the way. Can do this tomorrow or later no problem, there's no reason to stay up if you have a fever.
>>
>>3918670
>>3918672
Nah should be fine
>"Shazai itashimasu, I spoke hastily but the incessant cowards have bothered me each fortnight and my patience runs thin.

"No need to apologize, a man needs firmness and will if he is to survive in this frosted world.
I'm sure your will is constantly tried running your settlement."

>If your party slays your number and then some in thieves and vermin, you will have my respect.
"Technically I've personally killed at least six zombies, so has our warrior and our priest a lot of undead but I'm sure you'll want heads as proof so back to square one.
I'll tell the group about your offer and I'll convince them to give you an even worthier gift."


>Was it scourged by the living dead or the honourless dogs of my rivals? I know of no artifact but I know well of their deeds and they can expect shelter in my walls."
"Death Knight and zombie horde with some wights, our Priest thinks there could be more knights and possibly another horde aside from the one we took out and they're roaming around but considering this hellhole I doubt that's a surprise.
I'll also tell the Priestess about your offer, her name is Miyashita Emiya in case she's anybody important"

"That being said you're honestly raising some redflags for me, I in all sincerity hope you aren't just some might makes right meat head and that you know enough economics for your settlement to not only survive but thrive in time.
Regardless, I doubt my group would want or have the attention span to look around for another employer so you're our best option"

"If there's nothing else, I thank you greatly for your time.
I can only imagine how hard it is to keep everything together in this place.
We should be a few days from Caelkirk however if we're to properly prepare you a good tithe then expect us no sooner than a few weeks maybe a month.
We'll be staying in Caelkirk for a few day though I doubt you care enough about us to divert manpower to monitor or assist us."

>If Fellhand ends his conversation here I'd like to take a picture of my middle finger and change Terry's background as quick as possible before he ports it back.
>>
>>3918702
"Ohh and just to clarify, the temple imploded destroying the horde along with all the wights and most of the zombies, we took care of the stragglers.
We believe the Death Knight is still at large but again, I doubt a Death Knight walking around the wasteland is too surprising a thing.
Of course this is a Death Knight with a corrupted holy artifact but I'm sure you don't want to spare resources pursuing it until it becomes a problem."

Did you say where the other artifacts were?

"I am no merchant or scholar, my knowledge of governance begins and ends with the blade. That is a weakness but it is one I wish to change, protection can't replace prosperity. During my shameful time with the guild, I slew hundreds of the living dead, but I do not boast. There are always more and our efforts have only earned the people room to breathe."

"That is what they need and in truth, it is all I can give. Do not listen to the authorities at Caelkirk, I am no tyrant and expect no tithe, only the payment of taxes. The temple has... imploded? There must be a potent sorcerer among you indeed. I have little love for sorcerers but they have the power to match a dragon's breath, and for that, I keep my caution. If the undead rise in number, I will redouble our patrols. If not, I will pray the Council that the skeleton dog meets his end elsewhere."

"I look forward to seeing your party for myself. I too was an adventurer once, and know all too well how rare competency can be. By what sign should I know you?"
>>
>"If your party slays your number and then some in thieves and vermin, you will have my respect.

"By Tithe I mean gift, I'm sure with enough searching we can get you a minor bandit king's head or a small fortress if we know what we're looking for.
If you have any place or person in mind to test us, I'm all ears."


"I don't care for titles such as Tyrant, actions speak louder than words but intent supersedes all.
I have not heard many of your actions but as a man I can at least know for sure you're making the best out of a bad situation.
If you can acknowledge your weaknesses the difference between you and authorities blinded by hubris is as large as heaven and earth."

>"By what sign should I know you?"
"We'll be working on that.
At the moment we're less a group and more a rag tag collection of people with strange powers barely having unity.
I doubt all of them would be happy to have a single name for our group.
Personally I'm sure they'll just come up with retarded names."

He doesn't expect a specific number of kills, just that if the party's living under his roof, they won't be a waste of the city's food, training, and equipment. Doing more for Taedmorden than they're putting in, mostly clearing out monster dens, keeping other warlords off his back, or rarely, running encrypted messages to his troops through the wilderness. Lot of versatility in jobs, you're not expected to swear fealty or anything.

"Kansha shimasu, you have my thanks, but I need no monster's skull or hollowed dungeon to appease my ego. If you wish to prove yourself to me, fulfill one of these tasks ahead of your arrival. I do not expect you to take any on, but their completion would be a boon. Choose at your leisure, for I have none.

There have been disappearances in the villages on the outskirts of my territory. No men or children, only unmarried women. The garrisoned footmen have been disciplined and after speaking to their sergeant, I believe a cult is responsible. Find the truth, disrupt their ritual, and bring their leader to me, dead or alive. I'll make an example of his skull.

In the city of Caelkirk, there is a rumourmonger spreading lies to undermine my reign. I am an Oni, strong and proud, but they have taken advantage to say I consort with yo'kai, dabble in the dark arts, and indulge in depravities. The people are being led astray. Find the one behind these words and silence their treacherous tongue. I would prefer it as proof, but any part of the corpse is acceptable.

Last, my informants tell me that there will be a band of armed men moving through a mountain pass. They will have red scarves around their helmet and one among them is an incompetent double agent that doesn't know he is dead. He will be slender, with sideburns and carrying a scroll. This is information on troop movements that, if leaked, could give my rival, Anghor Thom, who is surrounded by rumours, each truer and fouler than the last a deadly advantage in the next skirmish. Bring me the traitor's head. Destroying the scroll is important, but seeing the oathbreaker brought to shame before his ancestors must be done.

If you do not accept these another will, but they cannot wait a month longer."

"I can't make any promises to you.
Even if we're a rag tag group, I need to consult with my fellows about this.
I'll have your answer by the hour or by the next day sorry.

Subtlety is not our specialty."

There are multiple kinds of antimagic; counter, resonant, symbolic, and divine. Counter antimagic works by suppressing the magic user's attempt to visualise a spell, either through direct mental intrusion or predicting their spell then casting its opposite. Resonant antimagic works by dampening or negating the influence of higher or lower dimensions in a field, preventing a magic user from casting spells within that area without them fizzling out. Symbolic antimagic works by producing the metaphysical antithesis to a spell, that is specific to each type of spell. Divine antimagic works by divine feat, no ifs, ands, or buts, unless the magic user in question has insane amounts of power, divine backing, or the Ur-Priest subclass.

For example, if a sorcerer is casting a fireball, counter antimagic would stop it by casting a pressurized jet stream where the fireball was going to be thrown, resonant antimagic would prevent the magic user from channeling the platonic idea of fire from themselves to begin with, symbolic antimagic would quench it by scattering pebbles into the pattern of the sigil of water in the path, and divine antimagic would lolnope the spell in a method according to the deity in question.

Death Count has made you a master of symbolic antimagic, what is otherwise considered the most difficult field to learn and the slowest to use in combat, but extremely potent.

That depends on whether it is actually electrical or superheated fire flung to look like lightning, but yes, if it is electrical in any way, shape, or form, it is your bitch.

He doesn’t seem to be either at least in terms of titles. It’s unlikely that a samurai would rule over a dynasty, and it’s even less likely for a ninja.
>>
>>3919098
I'm not really talking in terms of what his actual position or profession was I'm more talking in terms of class archetype. That is assuming he even has that level of fighting skill, he might just be a noble with decent skill and a really nice sword but I doubt it.

You could say you have a pact with a foreign storm entity. It would explain your ease of use while excusing your lack of sorcery to magic users.

Perhaps I could bullshit by praying to Qazlal Storm bringer and everyone would just think he smiles upon me?
>>
>>3919230
Then you could get called out by someone too familiar with the god or the Stormbringer itself. The foreign warlock angle works because this is an isolated province with little information on the outside world, which makes your claim unfalsifiable.

I plan on giving everyone a stamina/energy system based on their Willpower+Toughness Ranks divided by two and multiplied by their skill level. This pool can be tapped into fuel risky maneuvers, attacks, or visualisations at the cost of giving you a penalty to any checks made when it's exhausted until you've recovered. Essentially a +1 RS when attempting a specific task, balanced by a -2 RS when it's gone. Say you have 4/4 stamina and decide to do a POWER CLEAVE into a handful of skeletons rattling their bones at your shield line, and you roll your Agility+Skill+1 RS to attack, then Strength+Skill+1 RS for damage, but roll 1d4 and when it's gone, have a -2 RS to every action before you can get a minute or two to catch your breath. Damage and fleeing also reduces your stamina.

>>3919281
A handful of the vices and virtues grant physical boons, but Diligence is perhaps the best for raw energy. The problem is that Sloth is overpowered in the opposite way and it takes constant work to maintain.

Priests of Qazlal are constantly surrounded by storms of elemental destruction. You would randomly spawn flaming clouds, clouds of freezing vapor, clouds of thunder, and clouds of sparse dust, with the intensity growing proportionate to your devotion to Qazlal.

>>3919332
You have to prove your piety to a deity or zeal in pursuing their wishes prior to being granted power, and if you're not risking your life on a hyperdangerous quest to receive a godly artifact, it's much more difficult. Not only priests can receive blessings, but they come much easier to them. For example, Nyaralathotep might confer a wooden staff that replaces anyone it hits' veins with splinters to a follower that burned down an orphanage for the sake of spreading disorder, but he would much more readily bestow boons to an ordained priest. Some entities have warlocks and priests following them, and the distinction between the two can be subtle or pronounced, depending on the object of worship in question. Generally, the more a follower does to further their agenda, the more they'll get out of it.

At the moment... No, no you could not. If the sorcerers pooled their collective powers and rolled well, they might be able to get it rolling. Collecting enough fuel for the furnaces will take an enormous amount of doing or hired/slave/summoned labour, that said, it is quite possibly the best non-divine vehicle when it comes to sheer storage space in the setting.
>>
>>3919378
I mean running off into a zombie horde as a warrior was pretty retarded but that was basically it.
>>
I'm going to need to start hiding my identity aren't I? If anyone connects the dots on my power and word gets out everyone from nobles to deities will want me dead.
>>
>>3919362
I was hoping for more cars, but this should be more than fine.

So, for the Conductor's cabin. It has a full luxury entertainment system, complete with Radio, TV, and Several videogame consoles. as for actual living standards, a Queen-sized bed, wardrobe and nightstand, AC/Heater, and of course, carpeting. The rest of the rooms in the passenger car will have this writ small(IE, a twin-sized bunkbed, smaller screen, less space so as to fit more rooms), so is there anything I'm missing? Remember, this is what the rooms for the party and any allies or VIPs that want a ride on the train will look like, so mention any luxuries that I missed, please.
>>
>>3919388
Ahh yes, we need to keep secret that you're actually the bastard son of the god of knowledge and holy cleric of the healing god.
Nobody can know that's why you have such an amazing constitution and the ability to know everybody's weaknesses kek.
>>
>>3919379
Oh, hey, speaking of which, does the Equatorial Express come with some tools that we could use to fuel the train? IE, saws, axes, etc.
>>
>>3919392
In my case it isn't the fact that I have the ability but the ability itself that's dangerous. Nobody in power is going to be comfortable with someone who can know their every weakness and failing at a glance continuing to exist. Death Perception is antithesis to the status quo as previously invincible individuals and institutions are now revealed to be intrinsically mortal.
>>
>>3919403
Let's make sure that secret doesn't get out then. For all our sakes.
>>
>>3919403
I don't mind but maybe that's just cause it doesn't work on me very well.
Also probably cause that'd be kinda amusing having somebody know every weakness you have even ones you don't know.
Like one of those online psychological tests except kinkier.
>>
>>3919391
It is an arctic train, and as per, >>3917282, the conditions are much more cramped. There isn't much room for a queen-sized bed, wardrobe, and nightstand in the cabin, even as large as it is, and the twin-sized bunkbeds will occupy roughly half of each individual sideroom. A radio is acceptable but barring the magic user's secret equivalent of HAM, won't have much to pick up on. A television is similar, it could function as a high-end glass sphere for divination spells but can't pick up on any channels because at the moment, there are none accessible to mortals. Consoles are acceptable but they'd be running off of the furnace's fuel.

>>3919397
Yes, the LeTorneau diesel-electric transmission overland train comes with a significant stockpile of splitting axes, tree-cutting saws, and assorted hand-tools. None are electric because the more advanced something is technologically, the more difficult it is to transport between dimensions.
>>
>>3919413
It's pretty funny that I can look at a man and see everything from how he telegraphs his spells to his addiction to ancient cheese. It's the best cheat on the entire list in my opinion.
>>
>>3919423
Ah, I guess that means cut the wardrobe for a coat/hatrack. The Radio, TV, and consoles are staying, And I'm putting a large number of movies and replayable videogames into the TV stand as well as adding a movie player to the consoles and downsizing the beds. Would that fit? Also just how many siderooms do we get?
>>
What sigil would counter a magic shield in terms of symbolic antimagic and would it be feasible to engrave a weapon with that sigil to make it pierce magical shielding?
>>
>>3919452
You sir, are living in 1527.

For that matter, would it be possible to do so to the front of the train?


I also have one more question, Should the Equatorial Express be damaged beyond repair, or I finally get the flying Polar Express II, Is it possible to confer the status of Sweet Ride upon another suitable vehicle?
>>
would a car of modern medical supplies be too far out?
>>
>>3919464
I never understood why martials never develop anti-caster equipment and tactics instead of letting themselves get cucked by the caster supremacy meme.
>>
>>3919472
Once we get the Passenger car and cabin outfitted, I Will get to things like that.
>>
>>3919478
Why do you assume they haven't?

If they have I'm guessing it's the same reason Star Wars Laminated armor isn't very good against kinetic attacks.

They're just expensive to specifically defend against a fairy rare thing on a mass scale.
>>
>>3919484
I'm not making any assumptions about this world but in all the fantasy media I have consumed I have seen about one or two martial fighters that make regular use of anti-caster tactics, Now there are plenty of "Null Mages" who use antimagic fields and such but not many smart fighters who pull one over on the nerds.
>>
>>3919490
You’re really worried about those casters huh? The Death Count has changed you, man. Seek help.
>>
>>3919496
inb4 always seeing the flaws in people drives him to isolation.
>>
>>3919490
Define anti-caster tactics because we all know unless you're the hero and have plot armor/might as well be magic anyway, the closest thing a conventional army can have to anti-caster tactics is throwing as much fire and bodies at major casters.

IF the MC's response to caster is just to mass produce anti-magic which somehow causes everybody to be amazed, I feel like that's just bad story telling to make the MC look smart by making everybody dumb.

People not retarded know how to pick their targets, take shadowrun for example.
Rule 2's pretty much, if you identify a mage fucking shoot him first with automatic fire.

In normal vs super quests here and in Akun especially with Magical girls, anybody not retarded will bring lots and lots of explosives AND automatic support weapons while coordinating to put down as much fire onto the supers.

>tl;dr it's usually because the authorities need to be retarded to make MCs look better.
>>
>>3919501
Nah doesn't work on us so just be a bro and have a few drinks with him...
I don't really want to though he's kind of a dweeb.
>>
>>3919496
It's not paranoia if there actually are wizards that can turn you to ash with a glance.

I need to be prepared to bring death to anything that would threaten me.

Also, how the fuck am I going to talk about my problems to a therapist if I cannot allow any information about Death Perception to exist?
>>
>>3919506
Talk to a priest about it kek, he already knows.
>>
>>3919496
To be honest, you should all be worried about me.
Between the multiple imps on our team and that we are about to go into a place run by an Oni I wonder if I'm going to have to smite (or if I accidentally smite) someone I shouldn't.
>>
>>3919511
As long as you aren't actually invoking an archangel your powers should work exactly as intended. That's the main advantage of divine casting after all.
>>
So is the next thread coming up?
>>
>>3919501
You heard it here first folks.

>>3919506
It was a joke bro. You’re actually on edge which I find funny. I’ve already prepared countermeasures, but you’re going in dry.

>>3919511
There’s been nothing either in-game or out that would suggest you’d do that. I mean you could just flip the table and do it, but I fail to see a motive here aside from wanting to play the part straight.
>>
>>3919538
QM's too busy jacking off with his bloody hand so he can only use one for now kek.
>>
>>3919538
Next thread is coming as soon as I've finished the PDF consisting of everyone's character sheets, inventories, and Isekai cheats. I just finished Miracle's, and the rest shouldn't take me longer than two hours. Three at the most. I'll answer your questions as soon as I can.

>>3919548
Heheheh.
>>
>>3919547
I assumed so. I'm not exactly living in fear of mages it's that I just want to be good at killing them.

I want to be good at killing a lot of things come to think of it.

The issue with the ramifications of the existence of my power is a legitimate concern though. I definitely want to have a stable position before news of that gets out.
>>
>>3919511
Ohh summon an Archangel and so we can seduce her.
>>
>>3919472
>>3919480

Since the OP hasn't responded quite yet, I'm thinking about the Layout of the Equatorial Express.

Front to Back

>Cabin
>Workshop/Kitchen/Messhall/Emergency medical station
>Passengers
>Empty
>Empty

What should I put in the back (if Anything) and any objections From OP?
>>
>>3919566
Leave space to haul shit and store loot.
>>
>>3919560
Unless David sells you out, I wouldn’t worry about it. Your ability isn’t easily observable, hell my cheat is more obvious than yours. If you pierce through someone’s previously cracked rib, no one will attribute that to shenanigans.
It’s not like people are running around with scouters and will be able to determine that you shouldn’t be beating anyone without some magical assistance.
>>
>>3919566
Ask him if you can get some solar panels so Dante doesn't have to pull bitch work all the time powering the thing.
>>
>>3919581
Glorious Idea, OP?
>>
>>3919581
Also, We're all doing work to power it, that's what the axes and saws are for.
>>
>>3919587
Nah dude fuck that, I'm not doing manual labor you kidding me?
Get the nerds to throw fire in it.
>>
What is everyone's cheats by the way?
>>
>>3919596
I Get the Sweet Ride and am also a part-time eldritch monstrosity, nothing much, how about you?
>>
>>3919587
I'm here to become a badass not to fall back on my meager woodcutting education.
>>
>>3919596
I've got a stand that controls energy and matter as well as a magical vending machine that turns anything I put into it to something of equal value I TECHNICALLY own.

Including mountains if I were to somehow gain the ability to lift mountains.
>>
>>3919596
Death Count gives me limited omniscience regarding weaknesses.
>>
>>3919596
I’m an 8th dimensional reality warper during the weekend and on alternate Mondays and Thursdays.
>>
>>3919601
I totally want to use your vending machine as a gachapon machine.
>>
>>3919587
Of nobody is gonna do it than I will. I get another weapon, some experience with it, and some built in strength training.
>>
>>3919612
*If
>>
>>3919609
What'ya think I wanna use it for man.
I just don't have the funds to actually use it, only thing I used it for was throwing a few of my incredibly limited amount of rations into the thing for handcuffs and a donut.
>>
>>3919609
You can totally also put slaves and people into the machine for MORE slaves and people!
>>
>>3919612
Thanks for helping my weak ass out.
>>
After AnonKnight, it's just Mark, Jackson, and Dante, right?
>>
>>3919620
Eldritch limbs can do a lot to bridge the gap but some strength training never hurt.
>>
>>3919622
Yup
>>
>>3919617
>>3919619
Fun guy, with fun ideas. I'm definitely down to help you toss stuff into it.
>>
>>3919620
No problem.

Seeing all of these typos due to mobile posting is killing me.
>>
>>3919625
Got it. I'm going to have a separate section for the LeTourneau diesel-electric transmission overland train, because if I don't in five session there's a decent chance it's going to be too damned much to contain in a character sheet without crowding a third of the document.
>>
>>3919596
I have a Stand called [Speed Demon] that can manipulate the velocity of anything it touches.
>>
>>3919622

Am I a joke to you?
>>
>>3919676
You were before Knight. Why the fuck is he Knight when he's a rogue anyways?
>>
Alright gentlemen, (ladies), and janitors, I've finished this ABSOLUTE MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF SHIT PDF for your perusal, I'm going to go ahead, take a hefty shit, eat dinner, and post thread #2 approximately two hours from now, give or take thirty minutes or so. Pic related, there's an Inventory slot system depending on your Strength and unless any of you would prefer a more private arrangement, I'll be keeping track of your rations collectively. Not your treasure though, that is yours, and yours alone to keep and distribute as you see fit.

>>3919676
No, you came before AnonKnight and I fear what you will one day become.

>>3919680
I'm not sure but I'm sure he has his reasons. Members of the Knight specialty class might find it a bit strange though.
>>
>>3919680
It's even more deceptive.
>>
>>3919689
It's like if I was named Archmage, or if Lie was named Rogue
>>
>>3919689

I am inevitable
>>
>>3919689
Nice work. I even saw i got some buffs so that's great!
>>
>>3919689
Not to Be a bother, but you forgot to add
>Needs Glasses

and

>Cooking (Above Average)
like you said you would here
>>3919364
Sorry to kill your sense of accomplishment.
>>
>>3919689
One of my skills didn’t make it to the pdf, but considering how tedious it was to make, Ill just mention it whenever I happen to use it.
>>
>>3919725
Actually, three were left off.
>>
>>3919716
Like not sarcastically either. Actually quite sorry.
>>
It looks like the imps need to consume mortal souls to evolve.

Get your Powerwolf playlist ready Miracle.
>>
>>3919689
Do you have time to answer >>3919452 ?
>>
>>3919734
That's what the external radio on the train is for.
>>
>>3919716
>>3919725
Alright, now this testament to mankind's mutual capacity for autism is complete.

>>3919731
Nothing to be sorry for, it'd be some real shit to realise the typo eight more threads in.

>>3919734
>inb4 Miracle pumps Charisma and kicks off the 10th Crusade

>>3919745
Of course.

>>3919452
There are almost as many variations of magical shielding as there are magic users, but each adheres to the same handful of principles and those, you can consistently disrupt. The sigils of Dispersal, Penetration, and Circumvention are all favoured by magebreakers for good reason because they meet that fine balance between broad versatility, speed of construction, and combative efficiency. Inscribing a weapon with a sigil is doable, but you would need either the bound soul of a magic user or a constant supply of magic-infused blood to keep it functional. Alternatively, you could have it enchanted to persist but outside of magebreaking circles, such tools are rarely made, and even rarer at a reasonable price.
>>
>>3919831
How could a soul be bound?
>>
>>3919843
That you don't know, and you'd need to encounter a disembodied soul or delve into esoteric lore to find out. Alternatively, you could wait for one of the imps to get their claws on one, they'd instinctively know how to put one to use.
>>
Ahh shit let's shove some souls into the vending machine and see what we get!
>>
>>3919853
You'd have to collect them and avoid nigh-universal condemnation in and out of the party first.
>>
>>3919857
Pffft as if I wouldn't already be going to hell.
>>
>>3919831
Thanks, those skills were the game changers.

Thread #2 is here, >>3919883
