[Ross Vernal]

A certain Mart that isn't Wal-Mart.

I am still technically a cashier, but I know Garden, Electronics, Jewelry, and Layaway. I'm underemployed and underpaid, but I like my job.

I'd like it more if they gave me the promotion I deserve, but you can't always get what you want (hence my not being a teacher now.)

[Xantalos]

You're the cashier they deserve, but not the one they need right now.

So Halloween has come and gone, for fun let's speculate: what would your character go as for Halloween if they were forced to follow its traditions and aware of pop culture?

[Xantalos]

Egg all the houses.
With dragon eggs.

[Xanmyral]

Not rotten undead dragon eggs? Maybe a side of never-ending toilet paper?

[Xantalos]

And more!

Thales would go as one of those religious zealots with the signs that say The End is Near.

Which incidentally was what I went as too.

[Xantalos]

Fittingly, my brother and I went as Black Spy and White Spy.

[Rolepgeek]

Daethwin would probably be handing out candy or making a haunted house.

Otherwise, he'd go as a banshee or siren.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

A dinosaur.

[Gamerlord]

Build an army of undead trick & treaters.

[Ross Vernal]

Expect updates late tomorrow.

Beta first, Alpha second. Psst, Alpha Party, go to town, there's beneficial things. Mor got the followers, Myr is gonna get access to real magic items (the shopkeeper thinks he's smart enough to bargain with a fey), Tar and the other whose name I don't recall atm are gonna get alchemy ingredients...

Beta, I'm just assuming you are headed to town.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Well, was hoping to get you more involved with a pc-npc convo, but if you insist. :/

[Gamerlord]

Excellent... My diabolical researches can begin. Ross, can I send you a list of experiments and actions to be taken during the next time skip or travelling section?

EDIT: Fuck it, here they are.

Morgred Plans

1. Test each of my followers/disciples to see who is the weakest in magic and faith.
2. Subject this 'weak link' to more tests to attempt to measure the strength of their soul and how much energy can be removed without killing them. If they die, return to 1.
3. Turn the test subject into a living ghoul; keep the soul intact, but attempt to infuse the ability to consume more souls and flesh.
4. Experiment with soul scraps to determine if the 'living ghoul' suffers personality changes from absorbing soul scraps.
5. Start the rest of my followers on the road to lichedom. Ensure that they will succeed, but if possible ensure that they are weaker than I.
6. Investigate the possibility of either 'wearing' the skin (face and form) of a mortal or controlling their body like a puppet through possession.
7. Train the bottom four of my followers in terms of magical power alone (not faith or physical strength) as the equivalent of Spellwights for melee-oriented priests of Mingan.
8. Train any physically strong followers who have more magical power than faith as Spellwights.
9. Investigate the changes to my power that would come from changing my third god (can't remember right now, but not Mingan or Darshendros) to one of plague or Pantxike.
10. Create more 'living ghouls' if possible from suicides. If Living Ghouls are impossible, create normal ones from a quarter of the suicides and feed the souls of the rest to them.
11. Reinforce the bodies of the 'Elite Ghouls' made in 10. Greatly increase durability; if anything, these ghouls should resemble walking tanks or golems. Welding on metal, fusing flesh, bone and other materials is preferable.
12. Meddle with the final ritual for lichedom performed by my followers so that they are bound to me by their very souls.
13. In any kingdoms that we pass through, bastard children are to be promised their legitimate siblings inheritance if they obey me. Wasting curses and ones of infertility are to be placed on any and all trueborn children of nobility and ones of strength, fertility/virility and luck on the bastard children. (This would technically be the domain of Darshendros as the 'boons' would result from that which had been drained by the curses.)
14. Once they are convinced, the bastard children are to be elevated to the nobility by accident, proof of cowardice/adultery/other dastardly means and soulbound to me. Any and all of my Bastard Puppets are to ordered to only worship Mingan, Darshendros and my third god.
