Stormslayer the Aradian Mirage Beetle Mystic

"Meat sustains us better, but we can live off of fruits and plants as needed."
He would separate some of the meat from the creature, and set it aside. Then, he hears it. the egg hatches, and as he witnesses the future of the hive now readily moving about, a faint hope blossoms within him. He offers the chunk of meat he picked away to the very young princess. He would also try to reach out mentally to it, that he might feel the companionship of his kin's minds again.

Spoiler: Memories from home (click to show/hide)

[3] The young larva takes a small chunk at the piece of meat, slowly gnawing at it with its mandibles. As she is eating, you try to connect to her, searching for the bond of the Hive.

At first there is nothing but silence. Then you feel like a ripple, like a sound so soft it couldn't even be called a murmur. This is enough to fill your empty heart with a warm feeling of kinship.

Yes. You are not alone anymore. You realize the newborn princess need a name. What would be a fitting name for her ?

? the Prime Aradian Mirage Royal Larva has become your companion !
((feels like you got a Pokemon))

ZoomochScoomtarto the Four-Eyed Beholder

I must Sleep and Heal...

Spoiler: At Death's Door (click to show/hide)

[2] Rest. You absolutely need to rest. Why hasn't your body fallen asleep yet ?!
[2] Still nothing. Time passes, minutes ? Hours ? Days ? You don't know, you are on the step of Death's Door.

[3] As you struggle with yourself to recuperate, you feel your mind finally feeling lighter and you fall asleep. Sleep won't heal your ravaged body so easily, but it will at least allow you to recuperate energy and heal minor wounds.
You recover 5HP
You recover 5MP

When you wake up, you have recovered enough energy to float. Your body is horribly scarred, burnt to the crisp.

Far ahead of you are still the volcanic depths, going past the lava river. Behind you is the tunnel you came from.

Durst the Demonic Rock Prophet

Durst slowly stands up. He forces each movement very slowly and meaningfully. He walks over to the demon, locked in combat with Mold-Tooth. With hatred in his eyes, Durst raises a heavy rock arm, before smashing it right into the demon's face.

Spoiler: Revenge of the Prophet (click to show/hide)

[5] You manage to break off from the confusion effect, and your body feels actually lighter and stronger than before. You walk toward him with slow steps, like an executioner heading for the guillotine.

Hatred. A feeling you thought only foolish youth could feel.

[4] Tightening your rocky arm, you raise it above your head like a sword of Damocles. And you smash it down right into the vulnerable demon's face. Red blood splatters your arm and the ground as your strike crush his nose and disfigure the face of the demon.

Purple demon roll : [1] ((I cry))
Turns out the purple demon was physically very weak, as despite your far from incredible strength, the blow manages to knock him unconscious. He is now in a state of pure vulnerability, completely at your mercy.

Overall demons : [3]
There are demons everywhere around, some of them spot you having mauled one of their elite. A small number of low-class demons runs into your direction, they will be there in less than a minute.

Mold-Tooth releases his grip over the horns of the demon.
"You are alive Durst. We don't have much time. If we want to live, we have to flee. Or will you tell me you have some power that could vanquish hundred of opponents ?"

Caedan the Bloody Impaler

"Interesting... but I believe this is not how it should have went. Let me answer your question. I saved your life. If not for my intervention, you'd have burned to death. I also made you much more powerful. The price was your humanity. You're no longer a mere human. I planned to make you my servant to aid me in the coming battle, but it looks like Fate has a different plan for you. Something went wrong with the process and I think you might be part vampire now. That's your question answered. Now, how about you answer mine. Any idea what caused this inferno?

Get an answer. After that:

"And now, let's repay that debt you owe me, eh? You'll even get to avenge your village."

Find what caused this. Take the former human with me.

Spoiler: Fated Encounter (click to show/hide)

"I... know I owe you my life. And I am grateful for this." he says lowering his gaze a little in a sign of respect.
"And what happened to me should have been different ? I don't know why, I don't even know what is happening to me. I am no special person, I was just a mere peasant for my whole life and..."

He stops for an instant. A word escapes his lips. "...Firande..."

He suddenly looks at you with pleading eyes. "Back in the house, was there someone else ?!"

You answer simply. "No. There was you and only you."

He seems to be relieved for a moment, when suddenly you both hear the same scream of terror you heard earlier. The young man's face turns into a terrified one.
"No...No ! It's still here ! They didn't get away !"

You ask. "What is still here ?"

He answers with a voice on the verge of despair.
"The Armor."

[4] Both of you run toward the scream. You and the human are both surprised at his newfound strength. His is nearly running as fast as you, despite being a mere human minutes ago.

You progress through the fire maze that the village has become. Until you reach a wide street.

There are fresh corpses all over the place, with some still vomiting their last drops of blood.

A lone armor is standing at the end of the corpse path, holding a mutilated corpse by the throat. The corpse is rasping, still alive.
The armor's appearance is black and charred, like if all the impurities of iron where concentrated in it. Black and twisted tendrils are expanding from the place the armor is standing on. Some of them are holding two persons down.

Then more black tendrils emerge from the breast of the armor, engulfing the man as if devouring him. The rasping turns into a broken scream of a man, like if its very soul was shredded and thrown into the fire. When the tendrils are over, the armor throws the carcass away like some thrash.

Its helmet then turns toward you. There is an empty black light shining inside it.

Dahak the Fear Lord

Dahak's mind is such an absurd maelstrom of ridiculous things he actualy ends up remembering about something important!

YOU GUYS, WHERE THE HELL ARE MY SUNGLASSES

This is entirely unescessary. Not only is Dahak's mind doing otherwordly gymnastics with itself, his precious pair of sunglasses are missing! Did they fall off during his transformation? Nah, he would notice it.

Wait, THATS RIGHT, I PROBABLY LOST THEM IN THE GOOP MONSTER WHEN I DOVE INSIDE IT, JKHSAKDHOASJ

Dahak walks around desperately scouring the ground the huge snot monster once was, but finds nothing, then he remembers the whole thing was killed and absorbed by Delinde and Nihil.

OK YOU DWEEBS, GIVE IT UP, WHO TOOK MY SUNGLASSES?
WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I FIND THEM.

Dahak proceeds to sit on the ground and cross his legs and arms in protest. Its kinda funny since he's as tall as both Delinde and Nihil even while sitting now. He would make an angry face if he had face muscles, so all he manages is to move his jaw up and down menacingly.

FIND. THE. SUNGLASSES.

Spoiler: Just a prank (click to show/hide)

[4] As you are sitting cross-legged, protesting like an angry child, Delinde's face begins to twitch like if trying to hold a smile. Her face contorts more and more, in the middle between a poker face and a big smile.

And then she bursts out laughing like you never saw her before. She is laughing so hard she is actually holding her sides, as if they were going to fly away.

"Ahahaha ! Ah... If you could -pff- see yourself right now !"

She keeps laughing for a good minute, upsetting you. And finally she stops, out of breath, and takes your beloved sunglasses out of a pocket in her cloack.

"Here, I found them after transforming and I wanted to see if you would realize they were missing."

You snatch them with a very angry look, then stroke your beloved sunglasses with care. You then put them on and take on a glorious pose, all smiles.

[2] Nihil is trying to remember if he knows where you could find a locus. To no avail.

"If we really have nothing to do, we could go west for the nearby Inory Hills. I have some spirits to quell there, it would be convenient to me if we ended up pass near them."

Gray the Metaldee and Glint the Elemental Arcanivore

Return to/check up on Vagush and Tirim.

Go with Glint.

Spoiler: Brown's transformation : wish of a dreamer (click to show/hide)

[5] Both of you return to Vagush and Tirim location, trying to force the transformation to wait for later.
Brown isn't as patient as both of you, as he immediately morph.

Brown success roll : [2]
Brown was always a timid and fearful blob. Always eating dirt and easy sustenance. Always running away from danger and battles.

"Not anymore" he oughts to himself.

Born from his wishes of protecting his newfound friends, Brown transformed, taking on a stronger form.

The slimy body of Brown began solidifying, switching from a clear brown jelly to a solid matter akin to dry mud. Somehow, his body still kept his incredible flexibility despite his new apparent toughness. For in the inside, his body was still soft and gooey, like his heart.

Brown has become a Dirt Protector

When you arrived to Vagush and Tirim, you were pleasantly surprised to see Vagush had fully recovered. A true miracle seeing he was in a state close to death at that point.
"I should thanks my natural regenerative capabilities, but Tirim actually helped a lot. Not only did he brought me a small meal, he used some of his young powers to heal some of my minor wounds."

"Sorry for hiding my powers, but this is nothing impressive... At my age, I can only transfer some of my energy to heal minor wounds like bruises..."

Snehk the Unseen

See if everything is right with Bargar

Spoiler: Echo of Mourning (click to show/hide)

[3] Bargar is in okay shape physically. But emotionally, this is another story. When you try to speak to him he makes a sign asking for silence with his paw.

He is still holding Barak in his arms, like if the latter was sleeping. Then Bargar lift his head upward, and let out a long harrowing lamentation.

The lonely echo resonates in the lair and outside in the forest, as if to bring the sad new of the death of Barak.

You dare say nothing. You wait for Bargar to say the first word. Somewhere in your heart, you fear Bargar may resent you for the death of his cousin. You wait.

You notice the essence of Barak is beginning to flow out. Bargar speaks right now :
"Snehk... Maybe it is time for you to get back to your quest. I am grateful for your assistance in the hunt, I really am. But now, with Barak dead... I... I don't know."

Ulkas the Sorcerous Osyluth of Lies

Seeing Astrosa watching him and remembering another, similar scene from the past, Ulkas, felt immidiate gratitude. If Astrosa left him alone, who knows what could have happened? He already had quite a few sleep interruptions in the past, all of them dangerous and only one - good in retrospect. Yes, he really must thank demoness for staying behind... Yet when Ulkas tried to find right words, his tongue slipped:

"You're beautiful under moonlight, my Queen."

Immediately realising what he has said, to whom, and the reasons for such phrasing, Ulkas tried to act as if he said the most natural thing in the world and continued:

"You have my deepest gratitude for staying here to guard my sleep. But how went your investigation? Surely, you've found something of interest to you?"

Spoiler: Hidden Depths (click to show/hide)

[5] Astrosa displays a mocking smile and answers with a dry tone
"Flattery will get you nowhere Ulkas."

But then, her smile turns into something indescribably beautiful. You never saw her face radiate with so much sincerity before. You couldn't imagine how much more attractive would be her face with this expression.
"But thank you."

Closing her eyes, she seemed to enjoy the few seconds of this feeling. Then she returned to her usual face, a fragile equilibrium between craziness and fatal beauty.

"My investigation went for the better. I found what bugged me about this place : it is for some reason filled to the brim with spiritual monsters. Some of them are really strong, some of them not so much. But I don't know if they are aggressive or not, I can't feel any intentions coming from them."

"I also spotted many ruins and strange rock formations here and there. A temple too. Overall, I can feel there is something special about this whole place, but maybe it is just my imagination."

((the Dice is turning Astrosa in someone with really nice hidden depths))

Coptic the Mystic Avian

> Run away from that Sky Hunter whateveritscalled. Ain't got no time for that.

Spoiler: The Mountain (click to show/hide)

[6] You fly away at top speed toward the ground, outrunning the Sky Carver before it can snatch you again. You fly so fast that you fail to decelerate and slam into a big rock.
You lose 1HP

The Carver gives up chase, as they never fare close to the ground.

You are in the lower range of the mountains, there is strictly no plant there. Only rock and dust. For some reason the overall layout of the environment is chaotic : there are uneven holes everywhere, shattered rocks and boulder broken in two or three...

There is probably a high monster activity here. Beware.

Name: Durst
Species: Demonic Rock Prophet

Spoiler: Caedan the Bloody Impaler (click to show/hide)

Name: Caedan
Species : Bloody Impaler -stage 3-
Appearance : A tall, pale man. His grey hair reaches his shoulders and is rather lazily tied into a ponytail. His reddish-grey eyes feel as if they can pierce right through you. His fangs are elongated and seem extremely sharp. He wears black clothes fit for a nobleman, with some purple accents here and there. An arming sword hangs at his side. As you take another look at him, you find yourself unable to turn away from his now blood-red eyes.
Attributes:
HP 12/21
MP 17/25
ESSENCE 4/20
STR -1
CON 0
POW 3
RES 1
INT 1
IND 0

Traits:
Elder Vampire - Caedan is an elder vampire, and gains all advantages and disadvantages that come from being such a creature. He has matured enough as a vampire to be able to create thralls by feeding someone with his blood. Thralls are intensely loyal to their creator and become more physically capable due to their transformation. They do need to drink their master's blood every now and then, or they will perish. This also means that creating too many thralls may end up badly for the vampire, if he plans to keep them around. If the transformation into a thrall goes awry, it becomes much more like a monster and develops an intense craving for flesh
Night Vision - Caedan, as a vampire, sees perfectly well in the darkness. (unless all vampires come with this included, in which case replace this with Mesmerizing Eyes - Anyone staring too long into Caedan's eyes will sooner or later find themselves unable to resist his commands.)
Creature of the Night - Caedan becomes much stronger during the night, in addition to being harder to see.
Levitation - Caedan gains the ability to levitate and fly. Rather early for a vampire. Is it a sign of greatness? Or is it a mark of damnation?
Mesmerizing Eyes - Anyone who looks into Caedan's eyes for too long will end up unable to look away and become extremely vulnerable to suggestion, unable to resist most commands.

Skills:
Blood Metabolism - Drinking blood rejuvenates vampires.
Blood Boil - A spell that increases the victim's blood temperature to extremely high levels, effectively boiling/melting them alive.
Mist Form - Caedan can change into mist, allowing him to pass through things like barred windows and other such things. Changing into mist also lets him hide his presence in the right area, unless whoever he's hiding away from can detect him by magic or a different ability. He can also use it to nearly completely evade physical attacks.
Blood of the Impaler - This is the spell Caedan uses when he needs something dead so badly that he doesn't care if he spills blood. It creates a field of sharp spikes made of what looks to be crystallized blood. The spell is designed to be hard to dodge due to the sheer amount of spikes coming out of the ground. It also works pretty well against groups.

Spoiler: Glint the Elemental Arcanivore (click to show/hide)

Name: Glint
Species: Elemental Arcanivore -stage 2-

Appearance: An oversized lizard made of glass. It shimmers with mesmerizing white light. Its body seems to inhabit both ice and electricity in an harmonious equilibrium. Its glass scales are cyan and yellow, and shine beautifully. A golden core can be seen on its torso.

Traits :
Mesmerizing: Those who look too directly might find themselves entranced.
Elemental Duality -Ice and Electricity-
Homeostasis: Glint's body naturally works to neutralize dangerous magic. While this effect generally focuses on keeping the two elements inside him from violently exploding, it can also protect against magical attacks in a pinch.
Regenerative Core: you can regenerate your lost body parts and your recovery is greatly increased. Passively, drain a small portion of MP to heal you. Can be activated to increase its regenerative powers.

Skills :
Calcifying Venom: Bites will gradually turn the victim into a pearly statue.
Elemental Breath -Ice and Electricity-
Overload: Glint can now boost the power and capabilities of his natural traits by expending MP. This often causes the trait to exceed its usual limitations- for instance, mesmerizing might become mind control.

Spoiler: Dahak the Fear Lord (click to show/hide)

Name: Dahak
Species: Fear Lord -stage 3-
Appearance: Dahak's appearance evokes a really large but still humanoid skeletal monstrosity made of a myriad of bones. Several skulls adorn and encircle his "neck" area, with Dahak's own skull having enlarged to equate to his new body proportions. His wraith cloth cloak seems alive and has glown large as well, covering him completely except for his head, and his aura is greater then ever before, though its not exactly enveloping him completely. It seems like a delayed shadow, following his movements like some sort of after image. His arms and hand bones are disproportionaly long and large for his already large new body.
He has a badass worn out cape and a scabbard with a holy dagger.

Attributes:
PV 21/21
MP 25/25
ESSENCE 4/20
STR 0 -Strength : increase physical damage-

POW 2 -Power : increase special/magical damage-
RES -1 -Resistance : increase special/magical resilience-
INT 2 -Intelligence : increase your ability to submit others to your will-
IND 1 -Individuality : increase your ability to resist to others will-

Traits :
>Skeletal: Receive more damage from blunt weapons, but slashing weapons do slightly less damage and piercing weapons deal significantly less damage and may be dodged altogheder.
>Undead: Not affected by poisons and other things that would harm living creatures. Weak to holy magic, and can be exorcised by priests.
>Fear aura : You naturally generate a fear aura, generating fear in the beings around you. You can turn it off, or expand mana to strengthen it.
>Abnormality from Another Plane : because of its connection with the "Corruptor World", Dahak's very presence can and will cause strange phenomenons. If Dahak rolls a [1] or a [6], rolls from anything close to Dahak will get reduced or increased by 1.
-If a [1] is decreased by 1, it will become a [6], if a [6] is increased by 1, it will become a [1].
-another unaffected roll will be done by the GM, to determine what will appear or happen because of Dahak connection...
> Grand Core: Dahak's core has grown and shifted. Its no longer corrupted, and has actualy grown resistant to the influence of the corruptor world and other forms of mind altering magic. This doesn't mean Dahak can't be corrupted again, it only means he's a fair bit harder to corrupt then before.
>Fear incarnate: Dahak aura is now contagious. Enemies attacking Dahak have a change of being stricken with fear, and Dahak's physical attacks can also strike fear. This can have multiple effects depending on who or what is affected. Rolls caused by this trait don't trigger abnormality from another plane (since its not Dahak himself thats causing the rolls, but the enemy that gets affected by fear).

Skills :
>Spook: Causes fear, may paralyze enemies. Doesn't work on mindless creatures.
>Feel the Fear: you can convert the fear of your victims into physical pain. Extreme fear will probably cause cardiac arrest.
>Feral Otherworldly Aura: When activated, Dahak's aura will twists into a random shape and performs an attack to a single or multiple enemies depending on what form it assumes. Activating this ability will cost MP and HP, and will drain HP and MP. Killing an enemy with this ability will recover some HP and MP.
>Weaponized aura: Dahak can merge with his aura to join his Int and Pow stats with his Str and Con stats, greatly increasing his combat prowess and toughness, but consumes mana every turn while its active. The aura can envelop Dahak like armor or be used like a weapon while its active. Feral Otherwordly Aura can't be used while this is active, but slain enemies return a small amount of HP or MP.

Traits :
Infravision: Allows for detecting prey. Works only on short distance.
Mark and recall: Target becomes marked one, and during two days stalker can recall it's position.
Unseen: Humans can't recognise him as monster unless they use magic to do it, and if they try, it uses whole mana to keep his identity secret (single roll, succesful or not - it uses whole mana to stop magic detection).

Skills :
Disappearance: This innate skill allows the Hidden to become invisible, move noise-lessly and without leaving any traces, as if the demon just disappeared.
Whispers of damned: Target hears horrifying whispers coming from all directions. This easily disorientates and scares it.

Species: Aradian Mirage Beetle Mystic -stage 3-

ESSENCE 0/20
STR 1

POW 0
RES 1
INT 2
IND -1

Traits :
Adaptive mentality: INT from allies is added when attempting to distort or mindwipe a target.
Noble: sapient foes have a much higher chance of a successful mindwipe.
Out of Hive Learning: can gain new skills and learn magic from other willing creatures. Abilities gained this way are only three fourths as effective if the species is different.
Mystic shell: Half of all incoming damage is deducted from MP instead of HP, unless there is not enough MP available to soak the damage.

Skills :
Mindwipe: Can "Indoctrinate" targets into a Hive mind,but only one at a time. Target must be captured before Mindwipe may be used.
Distort: disorients and confuses a target, making them more vulnerable to mindwiping, but also making them act erratically.
Adrenaline Rush : this near-death experience gave you a new skill. When your HP falls at critical levels, you get an extreme boost of power as you feel death closing in.
Mirage storm: Magically creates a few mirages to distract the enemy, with each mirage having 1/4th the max HP of the caster. Attacks from a mirage deal no damage, but confuse enemies making them more vulnerable to mental attacks.

Traits
(1) "Learn" - Can learn traits or skills from enemies.

((I think I've got it, as long as the skill uses STR instead of POW.))

Name :
Species : Metalslinger
Appearance : A taller metal humanoid with what looks like a shifting duster covering it. And that hat Gray got a while back.
HP or MP increase : HP
Attributes increased : STR
Traits gained : Dispersed Conciousness: Gray's conciousness is spread through every molecule of his body, allowing him to control parts of himself separated from his main body and reabsorb them through physical contact. Each division splits his HP between the main body and the separated part.
Skills gained : Metal Barrage: Gray fires off soft or hardened pieces of himself at an opponent. The soft shots stick to the surface they contact, while the hardened shots pierce into or though the target. Uses HP instead of MP, each shot/blob has the amount of HP used to power it. If the blob is destroyed, the HP is lost.

((Edit: Aww, I missed the update.))

[Nakéen]

((Nice ! I will make a note near your skill, so that I don't forget to use strength instead of power))

edit: Interesting. Gray and Brown new transformations form a nice battle duo, where Brown will protect and attract enemies while Gray will probably eliminate them from afar.

[Beirus]

((That's pretty convenient, since I didn't notice Brown's transformation when I made mine. Can't wait to see how it turns out.))

[Coolrune206]

Durst smiles, still looking at the demon.

"I'll suspend my no kill rule, just for you."

Durst rips the demon's head off, before grabbing the stone and fleeing with Mold-Tooth. He maintains hold of both the stone and the head.

[Whisperling]

((Aw, shoot. I seriously can't write anything up right now, could I just delay it until next turn?))

[Dark One]

Head back to Darakion and tell him latest adventures. Ask if I can rest in his lair.

[TempAcc]

If Dahak had eyes, they would be rolling upwards right now.

You know I was expecting that your transformation would make you less child like, but I guess it just turned you into jailbait now.

Dahak wonders what the hell a jailbait is. A jail that uses bait to capture prisoners? Is that some sort of device used in the fishman penal system?

Dahak adjusts his sunglasses. They didn't increase in size along with Dahak's skull, obviously, so they look more like those fancy tiny reading glasses on Dahak's face, except they're sunglasses, and one is stacked on top of the other, and yet do not completely cover his eyesockets. He's just glad they didn't break.

Welp, looks like snotbrain over here is not the best divination expert ever, and we have as much direction as a elf in a dwarf fortress. I guess we'll be going to your Inory Hills. We may run into focuses of corruption along the way, and frankly I'm ok with some generally non corrupted adventure for now. Maybe some sightseeing too.

Alright, you lead the way Delinde, just don't mess with my stuff anymore... Wait.

Dahak starts patting himself all over. Suddenly he seems relived. Apparently his bag got lodged inside his now much larger and convoluted ribcage, but hey, its not lost. He quickly checks its contents.

Ritual notes, check.
Non suspicious succubus study material, check.
Misplaced holy dagger, that I'm going to strap back on my leg because this is a terrible place for it to be, check.
Miscelaneous bones I took from the cemetary, check.

...Nevermind, lets go.

Follow Delinde.

[Nakéen]

((Aw, shoot. I seriously can't write anything up right now, could I just delay it until next turn?))

((Yes, no problem))

[Hawk132]

((That armor looks familiar. Really familiar.))

"It's an animated armor. Those don't usually massacre villages for no reason, right? Why'd you people have to go and piss it off? Come on, I don't think I can take it alone. Look out for spikes."

Fly into the air, away from its reach, if possible. Then it's impalement time.

[Nakéen]

((I'm eager to write the turn of Caedan, it will be a promising battle))

[crazyabe]

I Look for something Easy to Chew to death...

[Sarrak]

"Lets investigate further, then. I'm sure that between your eyes and my mind, we can find the meaning of all this and how to use it to our advantage. _{And I was sincere before...}"

Fly, investigate, study. Do not start hostilities early on and watch out for Tinzakena actions. Maybe it has some influence here?

((I'm sure she's quite mellow under this whole crust of blood rage, craziness, thirst for power and revenge. Oh, did I mention craziness?

Still, Astrosa shows some signs of getting better somewhat. Hopefully, that's a good tendency and not a momentary swing of the emotional pendulum.))
