On the one hand, I had a feeling now was not the right time to try the binding. Haste makes waste.

On the other hand, my initial reaction upon seeing the thread title was "DOH!" so I'm pleased there were no side effects.



Anyway, the two bosses are Torillerb, Lord of Balors and Hastur, the Eldritch King. Torillerb fights in a frenzy and uses fire magic, Hastur crushes your mind. The archmage suggested we protect ourselves from fire magic to go after Torillerb, though personally I'd like to see at least our tanks better armored as well. He's the one guarding the portal in Schlade.

Personally though, I'd rather hit more outlying demon strongholds, and perhaps visit some of the surviving human cities. The Burning Lock is where prisoners are supposedly taken to be turned into demons themselves (and located in a burning wasteland, so good practice for excessive fire). Imperten is on the map but we know nothing about it. The more local map had Sanguisine or whatever, apparently some sort of tree, as well as several unmarked boxes.

What does everyone else think?

[Tarran]

Yeah, let's hit outlying demon strongholds. It's always a good idea to piss off the bad guys before you take the fight to them... Right?

Also, I don't think going into a city is a good idea considering I'm undead and I may freak out everyone that sees me.

[IronyOwl]

Oh. Uh... maybe we could get you a mask, or something.

Besides, the walking but not ravenous dead probably aren't welcome, but they're far from the worst possibility.

[kilakan]

I say we hit one of the unmarked boxs (could you link me the page the local map is on?) In the direction of the prison complex, and any demon strongholds/hide-outs on the way to the prison.  Since going after the lord of fire in our state may be a bad idea, and I'd like to have some practice fighting more before we go after the mind guy.  I mean he breaks one of our AOE mages, we are all dead.
Either way, we need to get some things to actually sell in town before heading back there, and maybe some type of full body armor/cloak for tarran...

[KineseN]

I'd like to visit some demon strongholds for their essence and perhaps for some nice armor. After all, saving the world is something that I can do after a nice shopping spree. Heh.

[IronyOwl]

Found it: Map

The tree is Sanguisuge, and closer to Schlade than I'd prefer.

[IronyOwl]

Oh right. Since Marcus is comatose now (Acanthus hasn't been on in two months), my preferred course of action at the moment would be to take him to Almar's Keep for safekeeping, and maybe get updated on the situation there, do some shopping if there's any to be done, and so on. Ideally we could swing by the refugee camp to bring more down, and perhaps Duplicity to ensure it's still empty or clear it out again.

At the very least, we should probably dump him at the refugee camp (and recruit his replacement) before exploring boxes.

[kilakan]

Ok how about this, we swing south-west to the refuges, then head east to that unexplored box.  Head North-east from that to what appears to be a keep/castle/large city.  Then make our way into the wastes.  Hopefully we shall be able to stock up on food at that castle T shaped thing, and head through the wastes to Impertan or the burning wastes.  I'm a little worried about our food supply for the journey though, since after we leave here we shall be in strictly demon territory, and god knows what eating demonic food could do to us.

[Tarran]

Okay, I'm a bit lost, where are we on the map? Schlade?

[IronyOwl]

Juggernaught's Lair.

We've never been to Schlade, though it was the starting town in Arcanum Octet I.

[Nirur Torir]

I'm a little worried about our food supply for the journey though

I'm a skilled summoner. The basic summoning spell is conjure food/water.

Also, anyone plan on repairing(?) me sometime soon?

Yes. I intend to revive you fully. I could probably do more then just a human if I take extra time. Any preferences?

I'd like to hit an enemy stronghold, then the prison, then we'll reassess our ability to hit the next boss.

[kilakan]

And if you die, not saying you will, we will probably all starve.... but anyways.

[Tarran]

Personally, I wouldn't mind being a half-demon or something like that, but we all know how well that will end up *Looks at Dragnar*. So that's off the list.

Well, I guess anything that's fast and durable and can still wield my sword would fit my taste.

Anyway, I think kilakan's route is decent.

[IronyOwl]

So I guess we've got at least two votes for at least "head back to refugee camp, then explore boxes?"


By the way, as long as we're getting a bit of direction, what's everyone's opinions on group projects? Would anyone be interested in pooling our abilities to accomplish a larger task, like forging a golem or some insane magical experiment?

[KineseN]

Heading back to refugee camp and explore "boxes" are ok by me. Add a bit of daemon raiding maybe?

As for large project, sure why not. An automated golem type with a Color Crystal as a magic amplifier and the alchemy stone device as a booster equipped with Di'ako is what I thought of just now. Don't know how to power this thing though, maybe runes would help. Of course, this won't ever happen, just throwing out some ideas.
