Turn 25ZoomochScoomtarto the Three-Eyed BeholderSearch the area for Meat creatures, I've had enough salad for one day...
[ZoomochScoomtarto the Three-Eyed Beholder]
[1] Vegetables are good for your health, but meat is tastier. You dismiss this strange creature and take another route.
You reach some kind of weird forest opening, and you notice bones lying on the ground. You get a bad feeling.
You hear snarling, and before you know it you are surrounded ! They number three, and those are Forest Sauriars : quadrupedal reptiles with a feline body shape and a black mane of spiky hairs. They growl menacingly at you, and are going to attack !
Ulkas the Lesser OsyluthControl ALL of the fighting entities, to test my power. Confront those unaffected.
[Ulkas the Lesser Osyluth]
[3+1] (Intelligence bonus) This what you could call timely test subjects. You focus yourself, looking within your power pool. Then you focus outward, reaching toward the minds of the various beings under you.
Mental Control Human roll : [2, 6, 3, 2]
Dahak roll : [3]
No Corruptor roll, they don't possess a "mind"You lose 12 MPUnleashing your newfound powers, you invade the mind of the humans and make them yours. All of them fall under your control except for a knight who had a stronger mind than the others. You also take control of a skeleton mind.
The affected targets immediately stop what they were doing, allowing the Corruptor to surround the immobile knight.
You descend and confront the Corruptor. It feels your presence, and seem to understand you represent a dangerous threat.
As you gaze upon the thing, your Expansive Mind understands something about it. Nor undead nor alive, just like an empty shell animated by an unknown phenomenon. It's familiar, like when you connected with Tinzakena. It's something not of this world.
Corruptor roll : [5] vs [6] The Corruptor immediately unleashes its tentacles on you, and you manage to deflect them with your claws. It still manages to injure you lightly. Your poison is ineffective against the Corruptor.
You lose 3HP Snehk the StalkerNot courage, maybe a bit foolishness, but not in talking with you, but trying to assault you. I thought that my evil ways led to greater balance, and looking at burnt to ashes ground I thought that my assault was justified. But all it did was cause more destruction. To maintain real balance, I must eliminate threats to you, not you. Do you agree to my vow, in accompanying you in your journeys?.
Tell truth. Vow to dragon.
[Snehk the Stalker]
[3]
"What kind of nonsense are you babbling ? I'm not buying any of this balance crap. And journey ? Don't make me laugh, I'm not traveling anywhere : this is my home ! There was just a stupid monster that invaded my territory and woke me up" the Shegarian is fulminating.
"But that's not the point. I don't need help, and there is nothing I fear. Just don't mess with me strange creature, or you will know that I have trouble controlling my anger." You gulp.
"Where are monsters manners nowadays ? In my youth, we would kill each other but always respect everyone territory and dignity outside of the hunt. Do you have a name ? Or do monsters have even lost their names now ? Know that I am known as Darakion, the sole Shegarian Dragon of this forest." he says with a majestic voice.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Except if you make me angry. Tell me your name and follow me to my lair, I haven't had a host since a long time." Robobert the Green Sylvan Clay Giantdig up a cloud of duty, and attempt to grab a knight or two by the leg, and use them as as a club against the others. If I don't get a grab, just start trying to smash them with large, heavy fists, as usual
[Robobert the Green Sylvan Clay Giant]
[2] You try to dig up a cloud of dirt, but fail as a knight attack you !
[3] vs [4] He strikes at you with his sword, but you block the attack with your arm, injuring yourself a little. As he tries taking his stuck sword out, you grab him by the legs and use him as a makeshift club !
You lose 2HP[3] You flail your living club around wildly, his allies with it. You are so strong that they are thrown backward despite protecting themselves.
In the meantime, Sylvarian are fighting the Humans. Sylvarian got the advantage, but they struggle against the fire magi in the rear.
Ako roll : [5] Ako is currently fighting three knights. Letting them surround him, he unleashes numerous spear roots expanding from its body in all directions, impaling the three knights.
Ferratus the Corrupted ArmorI can break these cuffs! Then use the priest's mistake and drain/assimilate the now helpless knight (unless I'm close enough to stab him with tendrils without breaking the bindings, in that case do it in reverse). Kill the priest afterwards.
Name: Ferratus
Species: Tainted Armor -stage 2-
Appearance: An empty suit of armor animated by a soul tainted by corruption, armed with a fine iron zweihander covered with a fleshy growth. The armor itself is complete, but has a twisted, black charred look with the exception of the right arm, which is colored a shining silver complete with angelic imagery engraved on it. The armor is wearing a torn, black cape taken from a wraith. Ferratus' possession of the armor shows itself by a mild red glow and white smoke coming out of the armor. The glow is extremely intense in the helmet, where the eye-slits are. The flesh growth has spread onto one his left pauldron, where the big, twitching yellow eye is now located. The breastplate is now split vertically, right in the middle. It has transformed into a giant maw filled with sharp teeth. Some of the tendrils residing inside the armor have become long enough to be outside and some are even getting dragged on the ground, should they not be in use. All of them are either sharp, pointy or covered in countless mouths.

Transformation Success Roll : [2]
As you are slowly getting crushed under the immense weight of the dead Storm Ravager, you feel another force in your body going against the pressure. Your body is growing, transforming. You don't pay attention to it much as the pain is making you lose consciousness.

[Glint the Unstable Elemental Calcivore]

Suddenly, the ground under you collapse, and you begin to sink into the sand. Quicksands ! You never saw something like this in the Crystal Steppes, you begin to panic.

Your body slam unto something, and you lose consciousness.
Dahak the Spooly really Scary Skeleton((sorry for general AFK-ness, I have just returned from the mythical land of girlfriendhouse, also, WHAT))
Dahak feels his luck is quite literally punching him in the nuts, if only he had nuts, that is.
You know what? Fuck this, fuck this village,, fuck the corruptor, fuck the humans and that distant flying thing, and their respective mothers too, if applicable!
Dahak then gets on his bony feet and starts concentrating, while also getting ready to run away (you can never be too careful :v)
Ooh boy, here comes, HERE COMES THE NIGHT TRAIN
Dahak then imagines his leitmotiv playing as the wind blows on his wraith-remains cloak. Might as well go down (or run away) in style.
Take advantage of the general confusion and turn on your Aura of Fear and empower it with all remaining mana to scare the hell out of anything in the general vicinity, be it human or monster. THEN GET READY TO RUN BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ENTIRELY STUPID, AS COOL AS WE ARE.
[Dahak whacky adventure]
