Yay, victory!
Celebrate a bit and find a meal, perhaps from a dead giant fish or a live one.  Then look around for a shiny to bring home.

That said, I'm considering spending Freddy's Boon at this point.  Would that be possible?

[Naturegirl1999]

Find a carcass of some sort to see how well my scythes work. How deep can they cut?

[SuperDino85]

Feel around for a ladder to climb

[spazyak]

Search around for dead matter to consume and try and process into a more material body. Or see if it is possible to posess a body and control it
"Some one help find a nice and undamaged dead body for me to control. I'd rather not be bound to this tenuous control of gas and liquid."

[Pancaek]

Is the heart calmed down now that the danger has passed?

If not, keep up my attempts to get it calmed down.
If yes, help Vladen find a suitable body

[Lenglon]

Do my best to tug Kongor to the ladder.

I'm pretending I haven't been slowing down and falling behind on updates. Ignore this. Don't look at the transparent text!

You eat ... something. It was edible, and tasty, if a bit waterlogged. It didn't seem to have an Omega Brand on it, probably. You scoop up a length of glittery chain. It's rather thin and flexible but quite durable. You get about thirty feet of it.

Go ahead and spend your boon. Oh, if Freddy grows to the next size category, that does count as a stat increase, since size categories are purchased like stats.

Find a carcass of some sort to see how well my scythes work. How deep can they cut?

Where and when did you get scythes again? They are you-sized, right? so, they probably cut about ... well, it depends on the substance they are cutting. grass, they'll cut what, maybe six inches at a swipe? Steel? not so much.

Feel around for a ladder to climb

Do my best to tug Kongor to the ladder.

You guys get out of the water and eventually back up to someplace stable.

Search around for dead matter to consume and try and process into a more material body. Or see if it is possible to posess a body and control it
"Some one help find a nice and undamaged dead body for me to control. I'd rather not be bound to this tenuous control of gas and liquid."

(5) you find a corpse and inspire it - you breathe a sickly green mist into its lungs and it staggers upright, exhaling a blackish cloud with every breath. You don''t actually inhabit the body, but you can control it to an extent. at least enough to bungle around and bump comedically into things. Over time, the body decays and is consumed by the mist and the efforts you expend to control it.

Is the heart calmed down now that the danger has passed?

If not, keep up my attempts to get it calmed down.
If yes, help Vladen find a suitable body

You spend an indeterminate amount of time tinkering with the inner functions of Omega's body. It doesn't simply calm down - ther are alots of repairs to coordinate, materials to move, damage to seal off, traffic to reroute, paperwork to file, press releases tio issue, complaints to ignore. It's quite involved, but eventually you (and some other Omegas) manage to get the heart into a state wherein you are no longer needed to continue the process of recovery. By then Vladen has already eaten at least a couple unspecified corpses. As, apparently , have a few other Omegas.

Alright you guys, go ahead and level up. Mmm, how about three stat points and nine substat points? And also, one equipment voucher, good for a single full set of one type of equipment. Ask for details.

Finally, I have two missions you can embark on. One is essentially an exploration mission, and the other is an Omega-centric PLOT mission. that is, you'll be sent t odo something of great importance to Omega. Well, probably of great importance.

This little girl has tan skin, long brown hair, and a non-muscular frame. inset in the back of her neck, covered by her hair, is a small, roughly-2inch across at the widest point, pale crystal that her eyes match.
She also is able to transform in a large scythe with a semi-automatic 30mm cannon built into the handle, with her crystal inset near the head of the blade. This crystal is core to her being, and although it is extremely durable, if it beaks, in either form, she dies with it.
She generates her own ammunition, having both HEDP and HEI shells available to her, but consumes extremely large amounts of food in order to do so. She is capable of storing 3 shells within herself, though this number may grow with her.
She is controlled through a tiny (1/8 of an inch) crystal that can be inset into whatever the wielder deems appropriate, an earring, a necklace, the palm of a glove, whatever, and she links to it whenever she is within 50ft. As long as she is in range, she always knows the exact position of the control crystal, and obeys any commands given by the bearer, being permitted to question her commands one time each, along the lines of a "are you sure" prompt. if she is outside the influence of the control crystal, she simply does whatever she feels like doing at the time.
untransformed, she is able to access only a fragment of her own power. she is able to protrude the last 4in of her scytheblade from any point on her body, and is able to shift her arm into the end of her cannon barrel, however firing her cannon this way is inadvisable, because the short barrel does not permit her shells to properly engage the rifling in addition to not having the normal stabilizing effects of using the proper barrel length, and she doesn't have the strength to compensate for her own recoil, causing her accuracy when fired this way to be absolutely terrible. Also, it is likely to knock herself over, and she will take longer than usual to chamber a new round when fireing this way as well.
Her crystal is able to be attuned to the request of the wielder, and while transformed she is able to attempt to perform whatever type of magic she has been attuned to, though she will generally need to practice to use it well. she cannot access this magic while not in weapon form.
She requires regular maintanance, oil, system checks, etc, which are able to be supplied back at Omega base trivially, but may cause her to have issues if sent on long missions. She does know how to perform basic field maintenance upon herself if given the proper tools to help partially alleviate these concerns, though a number of such procedures (for example, cleaning her barrel) require her wielder to perform them while she walks them through the process, and she is unable to assist in performing any major maintenance actions.
Her control crystal operates on a fairly basic level, and if she is being controlled by some other force, the user of the crystal still has the ability to order her around, their will being able to fight the compulsions upon her by placing new ones of their own.

Im thinking stat points go into spirit or movement, substats into either natural ranged, natural meele, constitution, or a scatter to fill out partials. Current inclination is spirit (to journeyman) and natural meele (to perfect). With the last spare substat going to meele magical (to apprentice)

@ item kits - Gwyn doesn't see why she would want equipment for herself, but she might like a nice outfit? She's more interested in improving herself, trying to upgrade her blades (speed and size) or her loadout, notably ammo capacity but also any additional round types (airburst for example) she can't currently use being added to her manufacturing ability. She could also be tempted if they offer to add new abilities in general on a case-by-case basis. She is also waiting for Kongor to request what he'd like her attuned to.
Plot mission is interesting though description is vague.

Updated character sheet.

Two stat points to increase size to Giant.

I'd also like to spend the Boon now.  I'll take the exploration mission.  I'll spend the equipment voucher after seeing what the boon does.  (and finalize the char sheet.)

Also considering spending my coins on equipment.  Could I buy a cyborg eye to replace the missing one?

Name: Frederick
Creature type: Red Dragon
race: Four-limbed Dragon
size class: Giant
Magical affinity: Fire

Description:  Freddie is a four-limbed dragon, with two large iridescent wings and two large legs.  One eye is missing and has a flat metal plate over it.  One leg has been amputated halfway through the thigh, and replaced with some kind of metal.  His scales are bright red, and there are thin lines that might be circuits running down his spine and through his limbs, lit up by motes of light.  There is a nasty scar at the base of his long neck, with odd biomechanical bits visible around the patchy, twisted bits of scale.  The tail, the clawed feet, and the mouth all look like weapons.  New are two very small horns, just peeping out of his head, far too small to be usable weapons.

Freddie weighs about two tons, and is sixteen feet long from nose to tail with a wingspan to match.  The legs are just slightly forward of the midpoint of his body, allowing him to walk somewhat bent over instead of having to stand straight up.  They reach about seven feet high.  Standing, he is about twelve feet tall, and can stretch perhaps another foot, and capable of about reaching the same distance up with the second joint (the wrist) of his wings.  Since his legs are a bit further back than ideal for walking horizontally, he needs about an eight foot ceiling in order to walk while standing, and needs about a four-foot ceiling in order to crawl.  The ability to squeeze into small spaces is based off journeyman movement with +0 dex, so he should be pretty good, but I can't see him being able to fit into a space smaller than four by six feet.  (If I increase dexterity more, will probably include collapsable bones to sqeeze down better.)

3 substat points into will.  6 substat points into magic, 3 substat points into will.  Sell off sword, armor, and medkit and see about spending the voucher on a marionette body to inhabit or puppet as needd and see what the coins from the items sold can be spent on to upgrade the fake body

Effects of ghoulification:
under certain conditions, Vlad MUST eat the flesh of living beings. Additionally, you will suffer a Geas.
Vlad will be given specific tasks he must accomplish in a given mission.
These tasks will come with a hunger timer. if that timer runs out, he will go berserk, and will attack pretty much anything in order to move toward the objective. At that point, Vlad will be under GM control. Hunger timers can be filled by actively moving toward the objective, or eating that which interfered.

Eating the innocent is far less filling than eating opponents. eating allies actively harms Vlad.

Also, medical magic will be fueled by the consumption of living beings. That is, the fuller Vlad's hunger bar, the better his ability to heal. below a certain point, and healing others it out of the question.

Effects of gas form:
Let's see. Vlad is more or less an artificial elemental of corruption. The mist is the form that takes in air. the inky cloudiness is the form it takes in water, and the various changes that happen to solid objects are the form it takes there. The restoration ability is a sort of corrolary to that - he has a minor ability to restructure things via corrosion->rebuilding.

possessing a living thing is generally fatal and a dead body will decay when possessed, in rather gruesome fashion
also, Vlad doesn't really have a body stat or anything now, due to having had his body stripped away. He's basically a spiritform, having mind and spirit stats
and magic

Spell Book

I don't know about selling that spellbook.  I'm pretty sure you can still use magic as a cloud.

[spazyak]

I don't know about selling that spellbook.  I'm pretty sure you can still use magic as a cloud.

Yeah, but how can one carry it as a cloud? I might keep it either way

[Devastator]

Learn summoning, maybe?  Create something to carry it for you.

Or maybe the other kind of summoning.. object apportation.  Then attack with poison or bombs or something.

Or do both.

Another possibility is that even if you kill bodies you inhabit, you just use a new one every mission.
