Turn 25"Well that was different, I didn't mean for them to kill themselves in such a weird way, but if that's how they want to go about things, so be it."
Keep looking at the equipment and see if I can get a better idea of where Goatsby is on the other side of the world.
5You mess around with the equipment while trying to figure out how to get at your nemesis. Yet another telepathic message sounds in your skull. "
COME, MY NEMESIS. COME FACE ME IN MY DIMENSION OF DEMENTIA." After that, you sense in the back of your mind how the equipment works. Using a tuning fork and a bit of the leftover blood on the floor to work with the burnt summoning circle on the floor, you open a portal. It looks like a flaming blue oval in the air, and the destination isn't visible.
"COME, MY NEMESIS. COME FACE ME IN MY DIMENSION OF DEMENTIA."
taunt The Priest with this message, inviting him to my Domain for a battle to the death.
6You send the telepathic message. You didn't intend it, but a bit of your own knowledge of occult magics is subconsciously sent over with it to help The Priest get to you quicker. Your Serpents look to you for orders as a portal soon appears in the air.
Let's start gathering the undead warriors and blessing them with holy strenght, making them stronger and tougher.
(I'm assuming you only mean to assist one faction, since helping both wouldn't help you.)
1Hmn...
Get a big white flag with which display our peaceful purpose, and use it to enter the castle.
EDIT: SM, you rolled a 6.
3+1"We just can't travel to the destination without some adversary or puzzle stopping us on the path, right?"
Assist Aaron Blaze.
Also, stop ATHATH(s) from harming Aaron, should ATHATH attack Aaron.
Shoot fake ATHATH from my Anti-Materiel Rifle with explosive ammo to stagger him and prevent his action.
6, 1-1 vs 4If this dumbass manages to find me and attack me, use the Dragonruler Greatsword to cut his head off, and then use the Daemei Greathammer like a golf club with his head (whether it ended up severed or not).
(I'm interpreting dropping a Doom Mug with you in the potential blast zone as an "attack")
1+1 vs 2Okay then. Default solution: DOOM MUG! Directly above the castle.
2(Defenders vs Invaders)
4-1 vs 2The Mug tries to bless the defenders, but the corruption here twists his magic. Rather than help the undead, his blessing disables a set of clockwork crossbowmen on the towers. Anna gives some assistance to Aaron as the dragon god defends himself and signals his good intentions to the defenders. This effort distracts her enough that she wastes the last of her explosive bullets on a missed attack against Mug-ATHATH. Aaron gets his allies into the castle, then flies up and tries to fight Mug-ATHATH. Mug-ATHATH is left with superficial battle damage, but still manages to get away and attempt to cast a spell. Having avoiding all these efforts to stop him, Mug-ATHATH is able to call for a Doom Mug. By sheer dumb luck, his magic fails anyway.
Meanwhile, the battle goes on. Despite the setback with their clockwork guards, the defenders get the upper hand in the first steps of the altered battle.
EP, I didn't mean to change domains, I meant to become the milk god as well as the sun god.
Transform back into my normal form.
Now I need to stop myself, stop the Sun, fix the moon and save castle Adjilia! Damn it people, you are adding too much to my to do list!
Am I still god of the Sun?
2+1You start trying to transform back to normal. You feel a solid hit punch a noticable hole in your side as you struggle. You briefly flicker between Mug and Nephillim shapes. The effort slows your descent, but the struggle comes down on the Mug's side for now.
+1 turn to impact.DESTROY THE DOOM MUG. DESTROY IT USING ALL OF THE POWERS IN ME INVESTED BY THE EARTH AND SKY FOREVER.
2 vs 1-1You throw rapid punches to weaken a single point and then punch away the targeted piece of the Mug. It flies back and starts to transform back and forth between the original Mug and a humanoid man for a few moments and then returns to Mug shape.
+1 turn to impact.You could likely destroy the Doom Mug with a followup blow, if you so choose. On the other hand, something unusual is clearly going on.
"I, BARON BARON VON BARON declare that I am most awesome!
Go to the tavern and brag about adventure while chugging the spider milk.
5You march into the tavern. People have barged in here and taken over since the owner left and all the apocalyptic chaos started. You successfully grab everyone's attention with tales of BARONLY GLORY. You do so well you're even able to convince yourself that your beverage tastes like actual milk.
"Hmm, that's no good. I'll take note of this farm, but I fear they will not cooperate without a significant amount of brothers in Kane to assist me. Perhaps another farm is more hospitable."
Take note of this place and it's traps a later date and set out for another farm with goats or cows.
2You mark down the farm and search for another one. It doesn't go well. As far as you can tell, there aren't any other farms in this area.
Cast Suggestion on the Moon. "Attack the Sun. Now."
5 vs 6"UUNNGGH, KILL SUN. KIL-l Su-nn...No. No way man. That wasn't cool. Why would you try and mess with me like that?"You almost succeed, but the Moon barely manages to shake off the spell. The Sun then bombards you with more heat rays, slicing at the ground around you and battering you with collateral damage. The Sun then contacts you while you're weakened.
"You things really don't know your place, do you? I want you to know, after I finish with you, I'm going to burn everything you ever cared about to cosmic dust. Goodbye.""I have a plan. Armor polish harder your shine will be our weapon of victory"
Parry the darkness.
1+1 vs 3-1I must achieve radiance that surpasses that of the sun! Continue polishing, still blissfully unaware.
4+2 for previous successesZiizo clashes with the Darkness as the woman directs it with hand gestures. Neither side makes much progress.
Bothadtam continues to grow ever shinier. HE IS BEYOND SHINY NOW. SO SHINY THAT THERE ARE NO NON-MAGIC SHADOWS IN THE ROOM. HE IS IN FACT THE SHINIEST OBJECT IN THE WORLD. WILL HE RISK
EVEN FURTHER SHINY???(sorry i missed a bunch again)
I will keep my end of the bargain. "Thank you. The milk should still be on my windowsill."
Take the book and athame for later study. Loot nearby animal corpses for valuable resources. Thank the sun, and remain otherwise neutral in regards to the ongoing conflict.
(No problem.)
3You take Baron Von Baron's gifts and take some samples of hide and bone from the animals after properly thanking the Sun. However, the milk was ruined by their fiery demise.
Name: Dr. Florence Bedlam
Description: A young woman from England who appeared to had been cut into pieces and sewn back together before being reanimated, Florence is an aspiring mad scientist who uses her extensive knowledge of human (and non-human) anatomy, a wide variety of surgical tools, and dark energies to create grotesque reanimated horrors that functioned as servants and killing machines. Florence wears a white knee-high gown with a red riding cloak.
Why do you want milk?: Because whether masquerading as a helpful physician to lure in victims volunteers for her experiments or plotting the downfall of someone who'd trifled with her, even a villain wants to live up to her self-applied moniker of 'Milk Addict' by drinking as much of the sweet white nectar as she can.
Search the village for a glass of milk (and perhaps a potential 'volunteer' or two).
6There's no milk in the village, so you go looking for a potential
victim helper. You check near the woods, and just manage to jump aside when a fellow mad scientist rolls up in a clockwork wagon that contains a small tree being used as a seat and a stoic pyramid of zombie bears arranged on the back.

IF IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL SAFELY FIT, LOAD TREE INTO/ONTO WAGON ALONGSIDE BEARS
THEN GET IN AND DRIVE STEAM WAGON BACK TO MY BASE. PREFERABLY WITHOUT SMASHING THROUGH VILLAGE AGAIN BUT I DON'T MIND TOO MUCH, REALLY
((FINGERS CROSSED THIS DOESN'T END BADLY O-O;))
6-1 for wagon randomnessYou go clattering through the woods on your way home, sitting on the tree. The axe snaps and falls apart in your grip when you hit a bump. The bears respond to you holding what looks a bit like a conductor's baton by emitting a synchronized choir of roars. You encounter a woman on the way to your base. From the look in her eye, you guess she's a fellow mad scientist.
>Grab an actual, robust toolbox before putting the tools I picked up in it.
1There still aren't any toolboxes around. While you're searching for one, you hear a howl of wind and screams. You turn around to see the first of the hunter demons appearing above your grave.
Sun Action:Attack Vaarsuvius.2 vs 1-1The Sun continues getting attacking V. It wounds him severely, but stops to gloat rather than strike a finishing blow.
