((depends on how you look at my abilitys, I can float in place even when asleep and my desintagrate beam can technckly be fired off until I'm out off mana...))
[sorry if my spelling is bad, Im writing this on an Xboxone.]

((Yes of course, but it will require you to fire. Sleep. Fire. Sleep. Repeat until you make a breach. And depending on the rolls, there could be a large layer of rock/ground before the surface. Worse, if you actually are under a mountain...))

[Sarrak]

Ulkas grinned darkly at the development, racking his brain once more, trying to find the most profitable way out of this situation. Astrosa held herself quite well throughout conversation, so it was slightly unexpected, if not predictable end... He silently put mental notes on Astrosa beliefs and dwindling patience.

Now, on Fenia. Seems like great power complimented by contact with weak humans spoiled her, as she was viewing two of them with arrogance befitting a demonic lord even before last confrontation. Humans... Seems like these weak-willed, easy to kill creatures were at the root of most problems monstrous races encountered in their life. He did not hate them for that, no. Instead, he sensed a sense of deep despise towards those without strength of the soul... Words resonated and he smiled, remembering Astrosa saying that. All while suppressing an immediate urge to murder Priestess for going against his...partner? Or...

Ahem. Lack of patience and blood-proven beliefs against arrogance coupled with ignorance - he told Fenia about situation in the world and, in her place, he would not provoke such 'guests' without a very good reason... Which posed a different problem. What if Crimson Priestess tries to lure them into a trap? Her initial showing to Astrosa, that sent her into berserk rage, her wording this whole time and, of course, her not so subtle poking at their weak points seem very suspicious.

Temple should give her power, yet there is no power that could not be sidestepped, evaded or smashed with force. Winning this fight should also give them access to the spirit-rich grounds, which would be a great boon for him and possibly for Astrosa too. Damn, what a temptation...

"Heh. Fenia, do you have no sense of tact, infuriating her so? This might end..."

He grinned a malicious smile, all while stealthily connecting to the body mind of Fenia, ready to strike at moments notice.

"...bloody."

Subtly use body control on Fenia, trying to feel if the connection succeeds before acting. Make her gouge her own eyes out. And go for the kill.

If control seems unsuccessful, analyze the ongoing confrontation before deciding on a best course of action - either rush melee with paralyzing claws and fear aura, take to the air while creating a couple of my own illusions, or retreat, following Astrosa.

In any case, absorb mana from Fenia spells, weakening them.

((Killing important NPC since time immemorial... Sorry, Nakéen, this felt like a right thing to do, after all. Wish me good luck!))

Eager to write the turn and see what the Dice decides, mwahaha.))

Act like a lost wanderer.

Durst the Rock Seer

"Many of my kind, and other monsters, originate in that crater.

It was called....

.... ummm....

Sorry, I'm afraid I can't quite remember the name."

Spoiler: Badass in Hobo Clothing (click to show/hide)

DAY -Noon-

Dr Hertomal is listening with great expectations, which are brutally broken when you note your memory is hazy. Strange.
"That won't do ! I NEED to know where you came from, it is very important for my researches ! Mmh, let me investigate you. It won't be long."

[6] Once again, the old monstrologist feels your whole body in a very intrusive way. Shifting around you like a tornado, he is sampling some of your rock and dust that accumulated during your travels.
And suddenly, the demonic infused stone of your body reacts strongly, unleashing a demonic mana discharge on Hertomal.

[5] Faster than the wind and with the agility of an athlete, Hertomal dodges the discharge and continues his deep investigation. He even manage to gather some of your demonic energy with a special tool, for future analysis.

"Woooonderful. With that, I am sure to unravel the secrets of your kind. Oh, and if you ever want to excrete some rock droppings, give me some."

The other humans seem at first worried and ready to attack you, but Hertomal tells them it was "all within my calculations".

Gray the Metalslinger and Glint the True Arcanivore

Well... If I can't aura them, make like a dragon and use my elemental breath. Start Devouring them as soon as they get into range, though.

Have my split parts attack any bandits they can while we retreat.

Spoiler: Breath of destruction (click to show/hide)

DAY -Morning-
Glint:
[5] Fences are useless in the wake of a flying creature. Expanding your wings, you flap, boosting them with elemental energy.
Rising into the sky, you fly past the fence and straight above the leftmost group of bandits.

You feel energy crackling in your mouth. What was the last time you unleashed your breath again ?
It was against those human riders if you remember well…

A wide stream elementally charged with thunder and ice comes out of your mouth. It is huge, overloaded with power.
With a single sweep you engulf the six humans underneath you.
You lose 8MP

[5,3,6,3,6,3] The sandy ground ends up electrically frozen.
Three bodies are lying on the ground, frozen and crackling with electricity.
Two humans dodged just in time...into the pit.
One human jumped just in time under the hatch. The hatch itself is frozen, it is not going to open anytime soon.
You gain 3 essences. You can choose to share this essence.


Gray:
[2] You send a command to your split parts, but you receive no answer. It seems you are too far for your consciousness to be unified.

Human rolls : [4,3,3,4,2,3]
The right side is now fully busy fighting amongst itself. One berserk human is knocked unconscious.

Enemy reinforcement roll : [1]
You would expect bandits reinforcement to come out now.
But no, instead coming from the south, a group of Radasars appear. Crimson and brown lizards standing on two legs. They wear some rudimentary armor made of monster parts : bones, chitin, carapace...
They roar and begin charging toward your direction from your right.

A lucid human shouts : "Radasars !"

Overall :
Left : 1 alive / 5 dead
-One survivor, hid under hatch
-Two having fallen to their deaths, Three frost-electrified.

Right : 6 alive with 1 unconscious

Caedan the Bloody Impaler

"You could say that I am a traveler, yes. Though it appears that you still do not understand what I am. Very well then, allow me to tell you. I am what you people call a Monster. A vampire, to be precise. Now that I've sated your curiosity, come and help me pull this sword out. Actually, wait for a moment."

Get that blade out of me (Try removing it by turning into mist first. Should that fail, get Ramas to help me) and get moving away from these ruins. We can rest more once we're further away.

Spoiler: Blood Inheritor (click to show/hide)

DAY -Morning-
As you say those words, Ramas yells with surprise and fear :
What ?! A monster ?!"

You don't answer to him yet, you must first take care of this sword. Before trying to pull it out, you try what is logical. You attempt to turn into mist form, but the tendrils seem to possess some power preventing you from turning into mist. Like if your flesh refused to transform.

[4] Firmly grabbing the handle, you pull with all your might.
And finally the sword is out, not after having ravaged your insides. Your gaping wounds close abnormally fast thanks to the blood intake you had earlier. Well, it is not really closing, more like if a patch of coagulated blood appeared to prevent more blood loss.
You lose 3HP

You sigh in relief, and look in Ramas direction. He is shaken, and protecting the unconscious girl.
"Why did you save me ?! What have you even done to me ?! Am I human anymore ?!"

Ramas roll : [4]
Suddenly, his red eyes and his veins glow with an unnatural red light. You are as shocked as him, what is happening ?
And from the depths of your memory, a glimpse of knowledge emerge. Knowledge from another time, from before you went Feral.
It feels... strange. You realize you don't remember how you were born, what is your story and what happened before you began your journey. Apart from your name, you remembered nothing.

Anyway, you decide to think about this later. The knowledge that got into you is shaking your beliefs.

You know what means this light : this boy, he was never human to begin with. He has vampire blood coursing through his veins.
One of his ancestors was a vampire. And your blood awakened his forgotten heritage.

But it raises even more questions to your mind. The offspring of a human and a monster ? What kind of era would allow such aberration ?! Was it even possible ?!

[4] But now is not the time. You have to get farther away from the Armor.
You stand up and leave, and as Ramas mutters with despair "What am I ?...", you simply tell him that if he wants answer, he will have to follow you.

Reluctantly, he says :
"I know of a hunter hut in the woods farther ahead. We will be safe there."

You follow him, and eventually arrive to the aforementioned hut. A small wooden hut, simple as one may be. The sun rose as you ran away.

Dahak the Fear Lord

Well, uh, hm... Thats fine, I guess.

Delinde seems happy that Dahak has helped. Dahak tries to pretend this all went just as planned as he covertly sticks the dagger back on its scabbard. Its been such a long time since he has used it last, though, he feels he hasn't used it as much as he could have. Maybe its time to think on alternative uses for it, like garlic peeling.

He turns to Delinde, a bit disappointed.

I guess this is fine and all, but is this all we've come to do? Stab fat ghosts to death, eh, life, undeath, thing? I mean, if it helps you, I'm ok with it, its just that lately I've been having these weird flashes of images in my mind... Sometimes they show me things that make zero sense, but other times I get to see slutsweird succubus-y women stabbing armored people alongside some emaciated demon thing, huge beetles trying to wear human armor, vampires getting manhandled by a rather suspiciously familiar knight thing, a weird critter talking to bears, a beholder sleeping on its tongue...

Dahak scratches his skull for a moment. Nothing about these visions seem in any way less absurd then the other visions he's been having, when he thinks about it.

NYEH, I just have this feeling that there's a whole ton of things going on in the world right now, and don't even get me started on the fact that A ENTIRE DIMENSION OF VERY UNCOUT SNOT-LIKE THINGS IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER OUR WORLD.
But I'm cool with this, I have a feeling this ghostbusting business has a purpose to it, so get to finding more ghost dweebs.

I can't really complain either, since you haven't ACCIDENTALY RELEASED A FOG JERK ON ME this time. At least you seem to be more in control of your powers, and you seem generally stronger too! You're still far more useful then snotbrain over there.

Dahak then looks back at the cart. Nihil is still calmly sitting on it, observing the vegetables and the surroundings, looking like the most picturesque otherwordly horror the world has ever seen. Dahak is convinced he didn't quite miss the mark when he called Nihil "snotbrain".

Continue following Delinde

Spoiler: The Target (click to show/hide)

DAY -Noon-
Delinde thanks you profusely for accepting to let her finish her task.
"Thank you ! I will finally be able to get into Death's good graces !..."

From your souvenir of your first reunion with Delinde after your rise to undeath, Delinde seems like the type to loaf around instead of working.

Nihil, still sitting atop the pile of vegetables, breaks your thoughts :"So ? What is next ? Done yet ?"

Delinde just ignores him, and sets off to lead the way.

[6] She leads you deeper into the hills. Along the way, you spot many harmless spiritual creatures wandering around in plain open day. From blobby to slender shaped masses of spiriplasmic matter, this place regorges with many of them. And thankfully, they are for the most part harmless, gazing at you curiously only.

"Strange...I feel like I am being ordered to head there..." she says pointing at a specific direction.

You keep following her. Pacific spirits are getting scarcer, until none of them are found anymore.

And suddenly Nihil stops and agitates. Then out of nowhere, he points in the same direction Delinde is heading to.
"Dahak. I feel the incarnation of a locus close. But it is strange, it is immobile, and silent."

You arrive at the top of the hill. There are no trees, they don't seem to grow there for some reason. The top of the hill is composed of a strange rocky structure, with raised rocks all around the place.

In the middle of the formation is resting a medium sized being hidden under a triangular cloak of spiritual ectoplasm. You can't see what is under the cloak, and its back is facing you.
"This is the spirit."
"This is the incarnation."

They say at the same time. The being hasn't noticed you yet it seems.

Just before your beam runs out, it pierces a last hole through the rock. There is a ray of light coming out of it !

DAY -Dawn-
[5] ((GM note: Damn you RNG ! Damn you Ulkas ! D:))
You let out a devilish smirk as you activate your body-controlling powers. As you enter into the mind of Fenia's body, you laugh in your mind as you realize she was actually not on her guard. Instantly you make her gouge her eyes.
You lose 5MP

Like a puppet, she violently gouges her own eyes. She screams in pain as she does so.

Fenia roll : [5] ((That's too many 5s in a row))
"AAAAAAH !!! MY EYES !"
Due to the violent pain and a strong instinct of survival, she unleashes an area-wide spell.
Outside Mana Expenditure Absorption : [1]
You activate your skill, but it seems to have the inverse effect. Your mana is absorbed by the flames, feeding it !
You lose 5MP
Astrosa dodge roll : [6]
Ulkas dodge roll : [5]

The screaming Fenia is engulfed by an orb of red magical flames. The orb twirls and whirls, expanding slowly.
And suddenly it explodes outward, engulfing the whole temple interior and exterior with powerful flames.

Astrosa reacts a bit too late to dodge and deploys her Gown of the Brisaranes around her to protect herself. The magical flames engulf her and not only does the intense heat wounds her, the magical fire burns a part of her mana away.
Having foreseen such an attack, you already prepared to escape just in case. You escape unharmed, standing at the perfect distance to observe Fenia and Astrosa.

Astrosa roll : [6]
Dispelling the flames, Astrosa creates a black-red spike wider than her arm with the Arsenal of the Brisaranes.
Thrusting forward to hit Fenia, she get caught further into the flames around the priestess. All her remaining mana is burnt away, and she is sustaining more and more wounds. Her skin is melting, the pain would be unbearable if not for her Bloodlust Madness.

[1] Blinded and her senses drowned in pain, Fenia has no chance of seeing the strike coming.
A clean thrust to the heart pierces her frail body, making her stop screaming instantly. Astrosa dispels the spike, and Fenia's body falls on the ground, lifeless.

But the flames are not stopping even if she is dead. They are consuming the whole place, this is very bad. Astrosa shouldn't stay amidst the fire, or she is sure to die.

"Fica, this is Stormslayer."

The archer Sylvarian stops her activity, and undo the bow to return to a normal shape.

"I heard of him. What honor deserves me your visit Ako and Stormslayer ?"

Ako explains the situation. They need a way to allow you to maintain the Hive link with the controlled human.

[3] Fica ponders, and after a long reflexion says something :
"Stormslayer is too huge to be hidden easily in the plain. Keeping him close to the human is a no-go, I don't think we would be in such a bad position. Say Stormslayer, how does the bond of your Hive work ? Maybe I will have an idea if you explain me."

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.

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.

Elemental Duality -Ice and Electricity-
Arcane Void: Magic, including ambient mana, are drawn to Glint's body like metal to a magnet. Spells are partially or completely absorbed, and whatever natural level is floating around will be constantly siphoned into Glint's reserves.
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.
Glassy wings: A pair of wings has sprouted out of Glint's back. They seem to be built more for maneuverability than for speed.

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.
Devour: Glint's aura breaks away and attempts to consume the target. This converts their life force into mana for Glint's use, and absorbs much of whatever magic they hold within their bodies.

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 20/21
MP 25/25
ESSENCE 7/20
STR 0 -Strength : increase physical damage-
CON 0 -Constitution : increase physical resilience-
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.

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.

Traits :
Adaptive mentality: INT from allies is added when attempting to distort or mindwipe a target.

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.

[Sarrak]

((In one word, epic. A truly rewarded wait. Oh, and congrats, Nakéen, on rolling 5/6 practically non-stop. I think this turn might be the most successful for the players ever.

Now, I need to think of a plan to save my berserking companion before she melts and transforms into something horrible. I'm not sure her basic instincts ("KILL! EAT! SURVIVE!") won't activate with me as a valid target. BUT! It's reasonable to think that essence from Fenia would heal her enough to get reason back.))

[Dustan Hache]

"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.

[crazyabe]

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.

[Dark One]

- 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.

[Hawk132]

"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.))

[Nakéen]

((Note: I totally had no clue how to justify Ramas strange transformation. I just had the idea last night haha.
Also, sneakily throwing possible future relevant plot information for Caedan...))
