You trickle smoke from your nostrils and grin. "Well, actually," you answer Lora, "there's this lamia that keeps wanting to write my story, and I wanted to make absolutely sure you were okay with it before I just ran off at the mouth."

Lora sighs and makes the sort of puzzled expression you see on people's faces when they're trying to figure out what to say. "...You told me that no one knew who or what built the Dungeon, yes?"

You nod.

"Maybe that was my problem. Maybe it's time for that to change. And...well, maybe I've had enough time hiding away at the bottom of my hole. What happened between me and the gods is done with and forgiven on both sides. Maybe it's time that I took up a different duty."

"What if your Dungeon needs you?" you ask.

"I've built it as best I can," Lora says softly. "It's time to give it to those it was built for. This place is my labor of love but it belongs to those who live in it. As it should be, no?"

"...You know, I suppose so," you agree, thoughtfully. "How secret are you /in general/?"

"I would prefer that certain details, such as the precise circumstances of my binding, be obscured. Obviously I cannot permit you to transcribe the words of the Divine Tongue, but you may describe it and speak /of/ it. Aside from that? Tell as much or as little of the truth as you care to."

"Scribbles will be thrilled," you tell the angel, and she gives you a little smile.

"You'll wake soon," Lora tells you, a little wistfully. "...It is sometimes difficult for me to hold these conversations together. Despite the aid of my claim and the bindings, your soul wants to be in your body when you dream. Bringing you here takes quite a bit of effort."

"Huh," you note. "Got time for another question?"

"I can try."

> What do you ask?

>>45061444
Eh. Ask her if she'd be willing to sit and chat while everyone finishes off the Baron.

Dunno what else we could talk about real quick.

And reposting in case anyone missed it.

You spend some time poking and prodding your newly captured spirit, mentally of course. Unfortunately it seems much reduced by its recent defeat. Though you managed to preserve the mind, it doesn't seem like there was that much to preserve. It is a simple creature driven solely by vague emotion, and the only emotion it seems capable of at the moment is wrath.

On the other hand, perhaps you simply aren't skilled enough as a Nature Vatis to truly understand the spirit's thoughts? “Mortia, would you come here a moment? I've need of your talent for Nature magic.”

Your companion, who'd been occupying herself exploring the cavern in greater detail, joins you in the center of the gore-soaked chamber. “I can try, though I make no promises. I've never had the opportunity nor the desire to commune with a spirit mentally without the aid of an artifact.”

You a pulse of vys as Mortia focuses her will upon the glowing gemstone resting in the palm of your hand. The light dims briefly, the green of the emerald momentarily shining through only to be washed out again a moment later by the power contained within. You're surprised the emerald isn't giving off heat, but you suppose since it's not cracked there's no avenue through which vys can escape.
(1/2)

It isn't long before Mortia's thoughts begin to muddle with your own, her voice muffled due to the mental barrier you erected to ward of Fulvia's rather forceful intrusion. {I believe the spirit is angry, but it is also afraid and confused. It feels trapped, and desires to latch itself to your soul so that it might feed and grow strong again. That being said the spirit's mind is incredibly simplistic. It is little more than an unthinking beast in its current state.}

You frown, mildly disappointed. Still, having a trapped spirit at your disposal should prove immensely useful, even if it is a particularly weak spirit.

>You should probably return to the surface, before people start to worry. No doubt Mortia is eager to clear her name.
>While your companions return to the surface, you'll travel through a portal and await them in Majhaya
>You should probably start constructing some sort of direct route from the palace to the chamber.
>Why not explore the tunnels a while longer? There's no rush.
>Write-in

I just realized I'm goddamn starving, so I'm going to run out and get a bite while folks filter in.

>>45114498
>You should probably start constructing some sort of direct route from the palace to the chamber.

You sigh softly and head to the bus stop, waving at Catherine and smiling. She gives you a small wave in return and seems to relax a bit when she spots Sammy.

“H-Hi there... Um... A-Are we ready to go...?”

Sammy circles around Catherine slowly, hand on her chin, before she walks back over to you and gives you a slight nod. Catherine looks deeply confused and a little worried.

“We're ready to go. No problems.”

>Rules
Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball skill to the roll. A 20 on the die is a crit threat, and if either of the other two rolls is 20 or higher after mods, it's a critical. A crit fail is when you have two or more 1s. So far this system has worked out well enough. We'll get into combat rules as needed, but in basic terms you have wounds, not HP, and the worse the wounds, the more penalties you accrue while doing other things.

Most Important Rule:
Have fun.

>Sammy, don't be weird and jealous. We're just friends.
>Sorry about that, Catherine, Sammy's just a little protective is all.

“Alan . . .” Dolah trails off as you sip your morning coffee. “It's not even evil. It's just stupid.”

You nod your head and tap your finger on her table. Dolah's room in the chapel makes for a cozy meeting place in the early morn. It also provides you with some privacy from Calloway's congregation. Admittedly, despite yesterday's trials, he still has received a large number of parishioners. He's been getting a lot more faithfuls recently.

“I understand it's risky. But that's why I'm telling you about it. Quissonce is going to take the time to make sure we summon that thing as safely as possible and I want you right there ready to smite the sucker if something does go wrong. We discover the original summoner and then send it back to whence it came. If there was a viable alternative, I'd choose it.”

Dolah sits contemplatively in silence. The grim countenance she wears does not falter and neither does her stare. You doubt you could beat her in a blinking contest. Eventually Dolah adjusts herself and comes to some inward conclusion.

“Fine. I'll agree to this on one condition. Once this is over we destroy that book and any others on demonology or diabolism the Circle has access to.”

I miss the Street Fighter Alpha era when Ryu looked a little more realistic. He's basically a karate hobo, how's he finding the gym time to support these gains?

>>45105296
a) Because they are not a race, undead is a state of existence.
b) System concerns (no HP, or no con, to powerful, to weak, doesn't heal naturally
c) requires high magic in setting
d) requires prevalent sentient undead in setting
e) not pretty enough
f) not vampires, see above
g) may indeed be covered by vampires, depending on your demands for undead
h) game does not wish related themes
i) game does not wish for related aesthetics

>>45105296
while an interesting concept, it just SCREAMS "edgelord material". admit it, 90% of undead players would be fucking emo edgelords. so we're better off without them.

This is a terrible argument against it. You should go to bed, you have school in the morning.

As long as they don't badmouth each other behind their backs, it's fine.

Actually, the two females in the party get along fantastically. They have the best (non-sexual) chemistry in the party.
This mostly benefits from the fact that one likes to smash and the other likes to plan.

>>45071469
Leave that shit at the door or go home. No gaming is better than bad gaming and the sooner people realize that the sooner we'll have fewer bitching threads in this board.

>>45117041
What system? I have a guess that's the issue.

Shit your totally right, I never really noticed it but it's true.

>>45117041
Yeah OP what system, because it could be that Melee isn't really effective in the late game.

Also if it has to be the issue where they always describe ranged. I blame Trick Shots, we always show amazing shots in movies and TV where they fire it awesomely but we just don't do that for fights with melee weapons.

Mostly because when it comes to melee unless it's a ohk we just go, OK and now he's dead.

You plant a hand on the ground, feeling the decimated bone in your arm crack further under the strain. You other palm rises to match, levering you away from the relative stability of the floor.

Your armor and the smoking sheen within is melting off of you in thin rivers of quicksilver and black. It smokes away into a fine ash before it touches the ground, surrounding you in a nimbus of malevolent grays.

Your arm is agony incarnate stapled clumsily to your body. Still, you can move it. The ebon sinews that gave it life have not melted away with the rest of your unexpected armament.

You watch in half-aware fascination as the Hall of Reflections works to clot the wound you have torn in it. The walls twist together organically, a tight contraction that leaves only sparking scars where the Avatar of Hunger's door once stood.

The ruined arm cradled against your chest twitches erratically.

> [[The Void within you grows, and your power alongside it.]]

> [[New Void-Tremor unlocked: Blighted Regeneration.]]
> [[New Void-Tremor unlocked: Raiment of Unmaking.]]

You stumble as best you can down the hall. With some surprise it becomes apparent to you that your bleeding wounds have vanished, leaving only pink, raw skin in their place.

The Forge doors are mercifully open.

You are Osyki, journeyman Totemist and first line of defense for your village against the rabid Behemoths wandering the land. Your master, the previous Totemist, fell in a battle against a terrible Behemoth, leaving the duty of defending your settlement to you. After narrowly surviving a botched attempt to reinforce the Avatar of Hunger's power, you find yourself forced to grapple with an unknown and unwelcome ability within you.
