Sub-turn 66.01

Stormslayer the Aradian Mirage Beetle Mystic

"The minds of our kin act as a relay to help convey orders from our queen or from the leader of the party to one another. We can inspire a weaker version of this mental trait into creatures we have control over, though the further from an aradian the message goes, the more fragmented it will become. It is why the hives have overseers in areas worked by our captives."
He seems curious about the bow, though he remains silent after explaining the mental link.

Spoiler: Proposal (click to show/hide)

[4] Fica nods in approval, and then points something out :
"What about the larva right with you ? Couldn't she be used as a relay ? She is small enough for us to hide it close to the human, or even in his backpack."

ZoomochScoomtarto the Four-Eyed Beholder

I Might as well take a quick look around while I'm here besides I can always get back to digging whenever I finish looking.

Spoiler: Encounter (click to show/hide)

[1] You look around the cave. The ceiling is not exceptionally high, but the cave is width. Luminescent moss, mushrooms everywhere, this is rather pretty.
Suddenly a strange being appears from behind a corner. It is really weird looking, dragging itself on the ground and with some kind of cephalopod head. Its body is large and made of slimy tissue.

This creature makes you feel worried.

Snehk the Unseen

- I'm... not even sure myself. I think that I've been called Snehk before... Surrounding area seems very unfamiliar to me. Where am I?

Feign amnesia.

Spoiler: "Amnesiac" (click to show/hide)

[4] They further fall for it.
"We are in the Elon Woods, a very dangerous place swarming with monsters. We have to bring you to a safe place !"

So they bring you with them, immediately returning to their base.

[4] The trip is strangely safe. It is highly probable the humans secured this part of the forest. You will soon arrive to their "camp".
You can chit chat if you want. If not arrival will proceed next sub-turn.

Caedan the Bloody Impaler

"You've piqued my interest. You're a living proof that coexistence between humans and monsters was and is a possibility."

Try to probe my memories for any places related to vampires. Preferably one that isn't overly far away. I kinda want to remember my past now. And Ramas will get to learn of his heritage. It's a win-win.

Rest for now. Answer any questions Ramas might have about vampires in general. Then begin testing out what vampiric abilities Ramas possesses, if any. If he has vampiric abilities, help him master them. In other words, give Ramas a training montage.

((Woo, my first companion. Well, one that isn't part of me. Also, looks like Caedan is going to drift towards neutrality now. Dammit, Ramas. You're ruining my plans.))

Spoiler: Caedan is becoming a Jedi Master. Or a Sith. (click to show/hide)

[5] As you focus yourself to assemble your memories, a sudden flow of memories comes out of nowhere, as if a door was unlocked miraculously. This is still hazy, but you know the followings :

You are far older than you thought. You lived in a past era in a grand mansion, with many creatures, amongst them humans.
You had a favorite maid, her name was Sieline. She was a vampire like you.
You had... humans friends ? And other monsters friends ? It still feels so hazy.
Then you remember something happening. Everyone began to lost its mind. Ugh, why already ? There are many important pieces of the puzzle you can't grasp.
If your memory serves well, you are in Fordania... Your old mansion... was there in this country.

Aaah. So that is why you felt compelled to head West. Your old home is somewhere further West. You know the way.


Then you rest. Making yourself at home, you use a dusty bed of the hut and lie down, speaking to Ramas like a sick old chinese master of some kung-fu movie. You tell him everything you know : he had vampire blood, which is now awakened, what are vampires, that you are amnesiac.

Firande is resting in another bed, she seems to be better now.
You recover 10HP
You recover 12MP ((no roll needed as you are already in a safe place))

Ramas talent roll : [4]
You try to make Ramas use his vampiric powers, using many mysterious vampire secret training techniques you just made up.
Surprisingly, Ramas demonstrates vampiric powers really soon despite awakening hours ago. He has some degree of blood manipulation, and some magical power can be felt when his blood glow.
He has potential, strong potential...

((I am getting Dark Vador/Jedi-ish flashbacks while writing this.))

Turn 66

[Coolrune206]

Durst yawns.

"Sorry about that. That must have something to do with what happened earlier, with the demons.

Oh, really interesting story there. You see, there was this demon with this yellowish orb. He killed a bunch of sand-sharks and harvested some kind of essence from them. I broke the orb, and then some energy flowed into me. And then..."

He blinks several times. He genuinely cannot remember.

"What was I just talking about?"

[Dustan Hache]

Stormslayer would seem angry for a moment, but then push it down since this was another species of monster they were talking to. She wouldn't know unless she was in the hive for quite a while.
"Keep in mind what you ask of me carefully. My hive, my family, was completely destroyed by the humans. That larva is the last of my queen's line.

Under other circumstances I would agree that using one of the larvae as a reciever would be effective, but you are asking me to risk the last thing that presses me to keep living. A single stray arrow or blade could easily take it away."

[Whisperling]

Well, this looks... interesting. Would you like to stay and fight, or should we get out of here?


Take a brief dive into the pit to recover the essence from the humans who fell. Assuming that brings me close to the other humans, Devour them. I need the MP. Keep the three essence I just got to myself, but the two I should find in the pit goes to Gray and Brown.

Stay near the ground long enough to do devouring and/or let Gray reconnect with his lost parts, then fly upwards again while I wait for an answer.

[crazyabe]

Vaporize it? or possibly Convert it into a pile of calamari?

[Dark One]

- Thank you for your kindness. Can you tell me whose are these lands? Do we have any king or queen or both?

Follow them.

[Sarrak]

Seeing the raging inferno that went out inside the temple and his companion burning inside of it, Ulkas nearly bit his own tongue. Why should every plan go both the best and the worst way possible at the same time?! Quickly calculating the best possible route for retreat, he shouted to the crazed demoness:

"ASTROSA! Take her essence and run! After me!"

Not quite certain that she would hear or listen to him, Ulkas was ready to use his control powers to make her retreat. After all, Fenia is dead, her essence should be fine for a moment, but Astrosa, with her vulnerability to magic, should not waste a single moment standing there.

Guide her out, by force-control if truly needed. Tail/wing-feed her afterwards if the injures prove too great or her mind - seem to be slipping into berserking state.

[Hawk132]

"Either your ancestor was a powerful vampire or monster-human crossbreeds have naturally high potential. Interesting. Anyways, we'll be moving west soon. Is there anything you'd like to do while we're still in the area? With the exception of trying to fight the Armor again."

Ask.

"Our journey will most likely not be the safest one, considering recent events." Caedan says this while motioning with his head at Firande.

"Can you protect her? Or would you rather find a safe place for her to be?"

((Caedan is much older than he thought? ... what if Ramas' ancestor is Caedan?))

Depending on Ramas, we go where he has unfinished business or to find a place for Firande. If he has no unfinished business and he's confident that he can protect his friend, we head West.

[TempAcc]

The what what now :v? This is news to me.

Dahak stares down at the odd cloaked spiritual thing. It doenst look specially threatening, altough it does emit a rather interesting energy. It kinda resonates with his grand core, but he can't tell exactly what this means, prob the corruption making things fuzzy again.

Dahak puts a bony hand to his lower jaw and ponders.

So, this is what we've come to eliminate? It doesnt look that scary, but what do you mean by spirit and incarnation? You cant be a spirit and an incarnation at the same time! This is spiritualism 101 here, you two >:v

Dahak regrets being the only academically fulfilled skeleton in a range of several dozen kilometers.

He approaches the ghost and adresses it in a formal tone.

HELLO SIR OR MADAM, I RECOGNIZE YOU ARE A RATHER PROMINENT SPIRITUAL BEING OF SORTS AND LIKELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INAPPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF APPARATIONS AND GENERAL SPECTRALITY AROUND THIS REGION. AS AN ASSOCIATE OF THIS ONE OVERSIZED DEATH FAIRY I MUST ANNOUNCE THAT I INTEND TO FULLY DISJOINT YOU FROM THIS MATERIAL REGION.

Dahak closes his hand into a big bony fist.

Watch the ghostly thing. If it tries anything, hit it with your feral otherwordly aura.

[Roc CURIOUSBEAST_EATER]

I ought to thank you since without your help, I would not have being able to take that killing shot

Thank the scavengers for their part in defeating the scorpion

[Beirus]

"Maybe we could find somewhere to watch and pray they all get eaten by a bigger, mortally wounded monster that we can take the essence from."

Call all my parts back to me. Maybe eat some of that elemental soil while waiting. See if Brown is okay.

[Whisperling]

"That was probably a one-time thing. We could come back and grab the spoils once they slaughter each other, though."

[Beirus]

"That works too. Just need to grab all my pieces first."

[Nakéen]

Durst the Rock Seer

Durst yawns.

"Sorry about that. That must have something to do with what happened earlier, with the demons.

Oh, really interesting story there. You see, there was this demon with this yellowish orb. He killed a bunch of sand-sharks and harvested some kind of essence from them. I broke the orb, and then some energy flowed into me. And then..."

Spoiler: Competent Captain -CrossInteraction- (click to show/hide)

"Demons ? As in of the Inferni Genus ? We have to hurry to study th...!"

"Demons ?! We have to get the hell out of here ! Dr Hertomal, you are coming with us right now !" yells the captain of the group.

He is right. If demons are close, they are all in danger.

"I wasn't done ! You can't interrupt an old man in the middle of its sentence ! He spoke of an orb and sand-sharks and..."

"DR HERTOMAL !" shouts the captain with even more force.

Captain vs Hertomal : [5] vs [1]
The Captain grabs the old man by the collar of the shirt and lift it. Hertomal, despite his incredible agility, is now helpless and screaming like an angry child.

The captain ignores Hertomal and calls for Vanessa :
"Vanessa ! We are packing, if you hear me get here now !"

Spoiler: Too bad (click to show/hide)

"Ah. Erm, sorry. Didn't know she was THAT important." apologizes Fica.
"I guess you don't have another larva ? Mmh. In that case, I have nothing for you, sorry."

"Look like we are limited. Sorry for taking your time Fica." says Ako. He turns toward you.
"That's too bad. Guess we won't be able to use it to infiltrate their bases. But maybe we could use him as a bait to lure some humans. He is still in pristine shape as we didn't try to extract informations from him."

Spoiler: The bottom of the pit (click to show/hide)

Glint:
[4] You dive into the pit and retrieve the essence. You share it to Brown and Gray.
Gray and Brown gains 1 essence each.

The pit itself is empty, there are a lot of entrances leading to unknown tunnels.

Gray :
[2] You eat the soil, but nothing happens. You spot your lost parts on the ground, completely destroyed by the impact.

"Shouldn't we get back with Mr Vagush ? Won't he be in danger alone ?" worries Tirim.

You hear fighting outside.

[3] vs [6] The strange creature reacts faster than you, a strange appendage flies toward you at high speed and pierces your skin. You fire the beam right after, misfiring because of the surprise.
You lose 2HP
You lose 4MP
You hit it right into the body, creating a gaping hole.

Weird thing roll : [4]
Suddenly, you hear a voice in your head.
"Shit-head. Stop. Or Mind. Yours. Eaten."

You feel something invading your mind. Your movements are getting weaker, your body feels heavy.

Snehk the Unseen

- Thank you for your kindness. Can you tell me whose are these lands? Do we have any king or queen or both?

Follow them.

Spoiler: Political dump (click to show/hide)

[6] You follow them.
"Uh ? Oh, we are on the Eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Fordania. The current king triumvirate is composed of the King of War Damoras, the Queen of Justice Escaline and the King of Law Eras. They are both great rulers, the Kingdom prospered thanks to them."

You eventually arrive before the gates of an extremely fortified stronghold : the Fort of "Eastenval One". The largest military base of the area, where the main brunt of the human forces fielded for the anti-monster campaign is gathered.

Ulkas the Sorcerous Osyluth of Lies

Spoiler: Orgasm (click to show/hide)

[5] You shout to Astrosa, and screaming something sounding like "SHUT UP I KNOW", she darts forward and then flies away in a flash.

She emerges from the flames her body ravaged and charred. But she is holding essence between her hands, preventing it from being absorbed for now.

You feel a huge power emanating from it. This will surely satisfy Astrosa.

She absorbs half, and screams in delight. You never heard her so satisfied before.
"YES ! YES ! That is it ! This pleasurable and fulfilling sensation..."
"...AH~ !"

This is a sound that sounds as it should sound. Pure delight and pleasure.

She hands you your share, half of Fenia's essence. You absorb it, and you feel filled with an indescribable sensation.
The strongest essence you ever absorbed was that of Tinzakena's Chosen. But it was nothing compared to this.
You gain 11 essences ((The essence given by creatures past Stage 4 is quadrupled))

The temple is still burning, the flames aren't going to stop soon it seems. Astrosa is exhausted. Despite her regeneration, you can see she will need to sleep.

Spoiler: Hard choice (click to show/hide)

"...I want her to live. I want to protect her, but..."

"...but I am no longer a human. I can't stay with her anymore."

His face is darkened by a broken feeling. A sense of despair and painful love.

"Let's send her to a human village or city. If we head West, we will find the city of Eastarm."

[1] Firande is still not waking up. It seems she fell in some sort of coma. She is breathing faintly.

Ramas is trying to stay cool-headed, but with everything happening, it is a miracle he didn't break down yet.
She will need medical help soon if you want her to survive.

Watch the ghostly thing. If it tries anything, hit it with your feral otherwordly aura.

Spoiler: The Trap (click to show/hide)

You approach the being with a most gentleskeletonly attitude.
[3] And upon setting foot in the rock circle, you feel something strange. Something magic, you can't really put your finger on what exactly.

And then your vision suddenly changes for a second : the raised rocks are covered in black tendrils, and larger tendrils are connecting the cloaked figure to the rocks.

The cloaked figure doesn't move at all.

Delinde and Nihil walks into the Rock Circle too.

Delinde roll : [6]
She immediately notices what is wrong. There is an illusion spell here !
"This is bad !"

She rushes at the figure and manifests a fog scythe. She attempts to strike it down, but something invisible strikes her and send her slamming into a rock.

Nihil roll : [1]
As soon as Nihil walks in the circle, he is immobilized.

"What...the...?"

The cloaked figure then stands up, breaking the illusion. The vision you saw replaces reality, as it is indeed the real vision.
What hit Delinde was a huge mass of blackness covered by some white carapace.

"We waited for you. We heard the call. But you are no longer of us. Aren't you ?"

The scavengers all snaps in delight. Afterward, they rejoice on the remains of the scorpion.

They attempt to communicate with you. The more you hear their snapping, the more you notice a pattern.
It is beginning to make sense.

One of them, bigger than the other snaps rhythmically. You attempt to translate what it is saying.

"[Thanks] -fast snapping- [Friend] -slower snapping- [Follow] -claw waving- [Us] -wiggling motion-"

They seem to want you to follow them.
