Woo, Part Nine!

It feels to me that mr. narratorguyman is getting the sort end of the stick when it comes to getting cool shit, therefore I move that he be allowed to have that one psionic power from 3.5 complete psionics that lets you esplode people's heads.

Undead: Always good mooks.

>>17717435
I dunno, he's been one of the most useful people so far. Stunning people, mindrapes, interrogations, psyche-alterations, and just recently out-of-body travel.

>>17717435
He's already changing peoples memories, wiping them, changing emotions, even dominating people

>>17717435
to be fair he can alter people's memories in pretty powerful ways, ways that normally require a 9th level power or spell to accomplish

>>17717435
He just seems less powerful now because they're facing undead.

>>17717498
and once he finds a necromancer to mindjack he'll get a usefulness boost

Is it weird that I imagine the ipod golem dancing everywhere he goes?

More specifically, I think of him as shuffling all over the place.

>>17717585

An ipod... shuffle?

>>17717218

Since you mentioned mistakes in the old thread, I'd be happy to offer my services as an editor. Once you're done writing and make this a book, of course.

>>17717602
I dunno, what are your credentials?

>>17717649
Well, his sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation all seem to be in order. I would say those are fairly decent credentials.

since we have the potential to combine science and magic i have to ask, what's the DC(s) for crafting a gun that fires a weaponized tachyon packet?
i want to be able to point a gun, shoot something with it, and then fire

Narrator could pull of Microcosm if he really wanted to, I think.
And that is a fucked up power.

>If microcosm targets a single creature, that creature’s senses are pinched off from the real world if it currently has 100 or fewer hit points. The subject’s senses are all completely fabricated from within its own mind, though it may not realize this. In reality, the subject sprawls limply, drooling and mewling, and eventually dies of thirst and starvation without care. The subject lives within its own made-up world until the time of its actual death.
>Manifesting microcosm a second time on an affected creature turns its sensory pathways outward once more. Otherwise, only very potent powers (such as psychic chirurgery or reality revision) or similar effects (such as miracle or wish) can undo the mental crosswiring that this power brings about.

>>17717675
Speaking of which, I noticed that the immovable ring was clarified to be attuned to the earth as a frame of reference. Is it possible to have immovable objects that can change frames of reference?

>>17717696
narrator could be in a microcosm

>>17717709
change frames i don't know, but it would be interesting to create immovable objects bound to something that was easily movable, so you could pick up the "control stick" and the immovable object would move to match the stick

>>17717738
That's the thing, it's pure energy creation.

Imagine firing one arrow, but there are 100 more with immovable rods attached to them that are attuned to that arrow. They will all fire at the same speed.

Journal Entry 317 Part 1

We got fucked. I should of saw it coming. So the undead arrive at first light. We're all ready for them too. The undead army had at least doubled in size since night fell. It looked like they were matching our numbers. It started well. The undead army looked to be mostly zombies in old beat up Wolflake militia armor. Jason said he saw a few living in the very back, probably the necromancers controlling the force. Our spell slingers opened with their volley. The Hind did an overhead strafe, raining down fireballs and burning clouds. The undead charged in, a massive hoard wave and crashed against the phalanxes. Skirmishers moved in and out. We were starting to take heavy losses. My abilities were of little use against the undead so I tried hitting the necromancers in the rear while trying to push back the undead with my sword. The pistol wasn't of much use against the undead. They keep coming, even without their heads. Twenty minutes into the fight, Avery suddenly goes supernova in the middle of the battlefield. I'm not sure what happened but she got pushed, so she pushed back with everything. The entire field ignited, everything dead burst into holy flames while us living were blinded. That's when it went wrong.

>>17717775
>>17717769
Fuck...

NotAsPlanned.jpg

They must have some sort of tactical genius on their side!

Journal Entry 317 Part 2

The entire battlefield fell into a sinkhole. A sinkhole full of skeletons at least ten feet deep. I don't know how it happened. Avery's light vanished amidst the chaos. All I know after that, I was told from the guys in the Hind, I was knocked out. They saw her surrounded by necromancers amidst all the chaos, performing some kind of ritual. Alex and Max went ballistic and managed to blast the shit out of them from above. I come to hours later outside of a cave with the survivors. Apparently the old dwarf mines run all over the place under the Wolflake plains. The skeletons must have dug out the battlefield from under us. Jason managed to keep his footing and went around dragging us out and with the rest of the surviving militia and mercenaries through some mine shafts while the undead finished off anyone who stayed behind. I think I suffered a concussion but a surviving cleric's dealt with it. All of us Terrans seem to be okay except Avery is still out of it. We're not sure what they did with her or if we stopped them in time. The surviving army is withdrawing to south of Wolflake and we're hoping we can avoid them while we recover.

>>17717649
>>17717674

I've done it before, though not for money. 008 is awesome and I just want to help "get shit done," as is the /tg/ way.

(had to delete and repost part 2 to clarify how they got out of the sinkhole, which I had apparently forgotten to actually type out)

How much ground flour can the terrans gettheir hands on? Without actual phosphorous it's the easiest way I can think of to create a rolling firebomb cloud like what germany did to madrid in WW2 or america did to most of the coastal japanese cities during the same war. It might be time for the Terrans to dig deep and call for Scorched Fantasyland tactics. They still maintain air superiority, they need to exploit that to its utmost.

>>17717895
Air superiority is best superiority. Drop bombs on the necromancers.

>>17717909
What's the old saying? "He who controls the skies, controls the world."

>>17717909
Drop the fucking Airship on them!

Oh yeah, I had a thought last thread.

Since the way airships work is by means of anti-gravity generators or something, it should be simple to make smaller engines.

Don't need tires anymore.

The Terrans and the militia got outmaneuvered, hardcore-style. These necromancers know what they're doing.

Time to change tactics.

>>17717769
>>17717817
I TOLD YOU BRO, I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE UNDEAD ARMY!

Time to combine iron scraps and explosives and throw them directly at the necromancers.

Also, I hope that Avery is alright and not secretly brainwashed into a pawn or braindead or has lost all her powers.

Hmm, is there any way for te terrans to make a wood chipper/bulldozer hybrid? A few of those would destroy the undead army. Even if it was just a thresher rather than a wood chipper it could be devastating.

Why are they even fighting the undead directly when they need to be wiping out their command and control. Best case scenario, you wipe out the necromancers and the undead they've raised lose power. Worst case scenario, their capacity to reinforce is removed. Either way they're high value targets.

>>17718161
Wait wait hang on.
Guys.
What if
Just listen for a second.
What if we made a hovertank
With a mine flail

>>17718161
Some kind of war golem with loops of chain instead of forearms?

Archive is up.

>>17718193
Agreed, unless you can match them 1-1 with holy power meeting an undead army head on is pointless. They need to seek out the necromancers and assassinate em.

Journal Entry 318

Avery is back on her feet. She's feeling okay and nothing seems off except that she can't manifest her divine spells anymore. We've all been trying to comfort her but I can see it from her perspective, kind of. She had something more going on that I just don't have the context to describe and now it's gone. I suggested that she returned to Hebiry for a few days but she won't leave. She wants to be here by our sides, even if she, in her words, has been crippled. Of the great Hebiry army, only half of us remain. I think that it's safe to assume that the rest have been absorbed into the Wolflake forces. The General is gone and we're under control of one of his subordinates. We're working out a plan of attack. I've informed our new commander of the explosives we can make. We still have one ton of ingredients on the Hind. We just need to know how they want it used. I brought in the old Orc High Commander and he told his experience with our blast powder. I told him we could make big bombs or grenades. He wants grenades. We just need containers. He's written up the request and the Hind has flown back to Hebiry with Mike and Jason to get the chemicals mixed and start production while the city starts gathering as much of the ingredients as they can to produce more. In the meantime, we're going to start moving westward and we're going to watch our steps.

>>17718265
>she can't manifest her divine spells anymore

Oh shit. She was practically the avatar of the sun god, wasn't she?

If they can do that, then what the hell's backing these guys?

>>17718265
Did the undead just kill a god?

>>17718328
Hope not. You know what they do to the things they kill.

>>17718328
i doubt it, it would be far easier to sever a connection to a cleric than to straight up kill a god. and i'm pretty sure there are high level things that can permanently remove casting (expanded psionics handbook had something like this i think)

>>17718340
>undeading a god
horrifying thought but since gods are outsiders i don't think it would work (unless you're vecna, because fuck multiversal law, he's vecna)

Sounds like she needs a hug. Maybe several.

>>17718447

Naked sweaty hugs?

I'm thinkin' those necromancers need some assassinating.

couldn't a psion just hit a person's orgasm button? as long as he doesn't write it in the journal avery will never know

>>17718593
Huh... Reminds me of that one test some scientist conducted, hooking electrodes up to a part of the brain and to a button that if pressed cause intense pleasure. People wore out the button, often breaking it, and causing harm to their fingers pressing it...

Best he not write that.

>>17718447
If she's up for it, yeah. Couldn't hurt.

My point is though that she needs some affirmation that she isn't alone and that she has a level of personal support. Otherwise she'll withdraw from people more and more the longer she doesn't have that connection with her god.

If that continues, she'll eventually sacrifice herself for a good cause in order to make her life mean something.

Bitch needs a big goddamn hug.

>>17718593
But then how will we know?!

HUG HER WITH YOUR DICK

Journal Entry 319

Hebiry is under siege. The undead started pouring out of caves in the valley along the Hebiry-Wolflake trade road, often coming up behind the guard outposts that had been set up. If we had pulled a retreat after our first battle, we could have been cut off and finished. The news was delivered this morning from the Hind. Our commander wants to push the fight now, deciding that the undead are distracted with the siege and wants to head straight for the capital and cut off the head of the serpent. We're on the march. We should arrive within sight in two days. I'm sending the Hind ahead to scout out ahead of us, report back and then return to Hebiry. If production is stable, we should get our grenade shipment by tomorrow from the sounds of it. I've been spending more time with Avery. She needs the comfort. So far she's squared her shoulders and has been acting like nothings wrong, but she's emotionally distraught. Like part of her was cut away. I'll see if I can help hold up that part for her until she can do it on her own again.

>>17718447
that or a good dicking from Dr Tran

>>17718627
There is almost no way that they aren't going to get to fucking again.
It's inevitable when you're sharing deep feelings in order to help someone, and in so doing realizing that you're becoming more emotionally intimate.

It's like suddenly there is an irresistible magnetic attraction between your genitals and hers, and you just have to try and get those pants off before you get welded together at the hips.

Journal Entry 320

While waiting for the Hind to show, I was discussing the it with the commander. He's none too thrilled that he doesn't have direct control over it but won't outright say it. So he's asking me it's carrying capacity and all of that when suddenly the Rheingraf spymaster, having apparently escaped the University, appears and stabs this guy standing next to me three times. Jason's on the Hind, so he can't help. The commanders guards finally realize what's happening and tackle the guy to the ground and gut him. He vanishes. I look down at the guy he stabbed wondering why him when I realize that it's me. I had detached and was watching myself bleed to death on the ground. I didn't feel anything. One of the camp clerics makes it in time and manages to heal the wounds and has me moved to one of the recovery tents because I'm not waking up. I realize that no one could see me and that realization suddenly made me visible. Everyone panics, thinks a ghost is attacking. Marcus realizes what's happening and manages to calm everyone down. A few minutes later, after some effort, I reattach and wake up in my body feeling weak and sore. What the fuck? Anyways, we got our grenades from the Hind and we did a demonstration of how to use them and how dangerous they were.

>>17718665
Actually I take that back. The only privacy they have is slightly larger than a broom closet.

They will not fuck if they don't think they have a reasonable degree of privacy.

>>17718678
but the risk of getting caught makes it so much more exciting

>>17718670
'The fuck is going on here?

>>17718670
He's a psion uncarnate.
If he lasts long enough, he can permanently shed his body.
Shit's kinda busted.

>>17718670
Great. So now Avery also very nearly lost the guy who she was depending on for emotional support, making her want to cling to him even harder. And it seems to me that the journal writer is the kind of macho-type that feels fulfilled when he's being relied upon by someone he cares about.

IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE HAND OF FATE IS PUSHING THEM TOGETHER OR SOMETHING.

>>17718689
Assuming they're into that. Some people really aren't, especially when they want it to be a more intimate, emotional experience - rather than a visceral, "make me feel like I'm alive" one.

>>17718708
Well, I can tell that one particular psion is a bit interested in making sure he feels alive!

Nigga just got KNIFED.

>>17718708
she just lost her divine connection.
she was bound to a sun god.
the sun is the source of all (or most in a fantasy setting) life
she now needs to feel life, both coursing through her and growing inside her

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fy3tSim3to

Seemed appropriate for all of these wars the party's gotten involved in.

>>17718726
Yes, but because of his peculiar situation, he didn't have a near death experience - which is the usual prerequisite.

>>17718728
Fair point - IF that's what she got out of her connection and she now feels a lack of it.

Only 008 really knows.

>>17718795
He got stabbed in the throat and went down in one of the spymaster attacks.

>>17718798

From the sounds of it. Doesn't he's. being a lot of this as he goes along.

Journal Entry 321

We're a day away from the capital. I ordered the Hind to do a flyby of the city and report back. Well, they never managed to get over the city. They brought back photos. There's some thing standing in the middle of the city. We estimate that it's at least 150 feet tall and human shaped. It's partially transparent. It has gray skin and in every single photo, no matter the angle, its face was blurred out like a digital effect was used. They said it was standing stock still. We're going to hold position for 24 hours or until we can figure out what we're up against, whichever comes first. I've never seen anything like it and neither has anyone else in the camp. Anyways, I've taken to meditating again during our nights. Avery's joined with me, trying to make contact with her divine magic. She keeps saying that she can almost feel it, that it's just out of reach. In other news, even with all that's gone on, Mike and his like talented girlfriend have gotten ever closer together and Mike's starting to think of popping the question. It's on his mind constantly. Mike, if you read my journal anytime soon, she's going to say yes.

>>17718840
Fuck yeah, crazy demonic warlock marriage.

>>17718840
Even if Mike doesn't, Avery will tell him.

>>17718840
>There's some thing standing in the middle of the city. We estimate that it's at least 150 feet tall and human shaped. It's partially transparent. It has gray skin and in every single photo, no matter the angle, its face was blurred out like a digital effect was used

AWWWW SHIT NIGGA IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN

>>17718840

Here's hoping their demon sponsors consent to the marriage. A marriage contract might get in the way of a warlock's contract...

>>17718876
"Well."
"Fuck."
"Fuck YOU. They're both MINE now."
"Bullshit, they're mine."
"I demand we get a devil lawyer to sort the matter out."
"That's bullshit!"
"YOU'RE bullshit!"

>>17718840

>>17718876
the contract that came first has more power, especially since when you say "i give you my soul" to a woman it doesn't really do anything, especially if someone else already has it

>>17718881
Heh.

>>17718611
It was an experiment conducted on mice. They had a choice between pressing the button that stimulated the electrodes implanted on the pleasure parts of their brain instead of choosing food.

They always chose the button.

>>17718901
>especially since when you say "i give you my soul" to a woman it doesn't really do anything

You know, a woman with a soul is a bit like a mule with a spinning wheel. Damned if you know how she got it and damned if she knows how to use it.

>>17718913
Fun fact, the mouse always starved to death as a result of those experiments. They wouldn't eat, and kept going around looking for the button after experiments were done.

Journal Entry 322

It's all about to start. Whatever that thing is, we're going to take it down. We can see it towering over the city walls in the distance. Its face is blurred out. When I stare at it for too long, it's like I can hear an all consuming emptiness in my head that's threatening to pull me in. The clerics and paladins have gotten together and held a discussion and some prayers and think that it's a “divine shell.” Something that the god of undeath can be summoned into so he can manifest upon the world, something that deities apparently can't do here on their own. Direct intervention. No avatars, no mortals to work through, totally hands on. The commander realizes how dangerous this is and we're the only force out here. We're going forward with the attack and wecare going to go to the bitter end. We begin the siege within the hour. Soon as we begin, I'm going to have the Hind, loaded with spell slingers, go over the wall and burn down the noble's district with everything they got, and then start attacking the shell while the ground forces try and penetrate the main gate. Then we put an end to this nonsense. While I write this, the mp3 golem is running around the camp playing “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” It's not helping my mood.

Alright, I'm out for the night Gents! We'll pick this up after I get a good nights rest.

>>17718987
Sleep well, 008.

>>17718978
I love how they're deploying the airship like it's a damn AC-130. That's AWESOME.

"Adjusting elevation scan."
"SPELL READY!" Boomboomboomboomboomboomboomboom.

>>17718987
Alright, good. I was going to bed soon and now I don't have to worry about missing the fireworks. See you in the morning. Well, later, anyway.

Holy crap it's 008! Dude I love this series and have been following it since the first thread showed up in suptg. This stuff is beautiful, keep up the great work!

i saw the thjread on the archives and read it there..

then i realized... why read on the archives when i can read it here, and interact.. lol


anyway, MP3 Brolem should play RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES in the airship when it goes on its bombing run

Bump.

I have a feeling MP3 Golem is going to be playing Taps before this is over :(

>>17720995
total 008-fan bump

also, when is mister Psion going to find a way to weaponize his ghost-walking stuff?

go up in the airship, ghost down on the battlefield and mindrape the necromonglers!

>>17721429
It seems that he now has the ability to exist without his body. So if he can figure out how to will himself to stay invisible he would have free reign unless another psion comes along.

Might want to double check with the academy and temple to see what can affect him in his ghost form. He can't really be smited as undead because he isn't dead.

>>17721552

He's obviously taken a level in uncarnate. He can do whatever it is people do when they become incorporeal.

It's a pity that they exorcised Amanda, now that the Psion can ghostwalk they could've totally had some spectral makeouts.

>>17721429
Does it really need to be weaponized? Isn't 'Invisibility' one of the most chosen 'If you could have one superpower...' answers?

Assuming he can figure out how to consciously control the invis/not when walking.

Well daaaaaamn, this is going to be all heroic.

By which I mean I expect half the party to die. Why didn't they just bombard the undead or the necromancers from the ship to begin with?

>>17722093
These are terrans. Everything needs to be weaponized.

>>17721598
Would fucking a ghost while temporarily being a ghost be necrophilia?

>>17722251
no
first, sex with undead is called thanatophilia
second, psion guy isn't technically undead, he's just incorporeal

>>17722282
ya its more like astral projection

>>17722341
He's a psion uncarnate.
They can shed their body.

bump

Hourly bump with:

Terran Air Force (TAF) eXperimental Bombardment Airship 001 (XBA-001)

It's a Golden Hind class transport designed in 2013 to allow an Airborne Assault of the local battlefield. Simply a large amount of spell casters on a private trainsport airship.

The Ship also contained multiple redundancies to allow continued flight, a new prototype configuration that would pave the way for every form of transportation for generations to come.

Was replaced by the Dedicated Assault Airship series (DAA) after the Golden Hind was lost in action.

Would you like to read more?
>Y/ N?

Someone should build a flying ironclad already.

Alternately for more peaceful travel, build a hot air balloon / zeppelin style airship with the levitation magic as a secondary system. The balloon isn't as powerful, but it's more stable than the artificed system.

>>17723110

I agree.

This poor airship will be another burning wreck before too long.

Especially with the giant demonic shell in the middle of the enemy city.

>>17723110
>baloon
>stable
>in a world with firearms and fire magic and fucking dragons and other flying bastards

I'm thinking the reason why Avery can't manifest her holy abilities here is due to whatever is going on with that bigass divine shell that they're building. Either purposely (so she can't use her cleric abilities to just smite everything) or through an accidental consequence.

>>17723214

Sort of like how a fire cannot burn without oxygen, her holy powers cannot operate in a land of such evil.

>Is that what your theory?

Sounds applicable to me...

>>17723152
stable =/= invulnerable

Journal Entry 323 part 1

The attack began. We moved in for the city gate, guarded by at least a few thousand undead. Our archers, now grenadiers, started the attack with a bombardment of the new grenades which tore them apart. The paladins lead the charge and we moved in to destroy them. While this was happening, the Hind began it's attack on the Noble's district. We loaded it's deck with as many casters as it could hold. I wish I could of seen it in action, I can only imagine. I was, instead, on the ground battling the undead. We managed to put the defensive force down and started tearing at the main city gates until we broke through. The city beyond wasn't so much a city anymore. Everything was in ruin and of course, there were more undead to deal with. They came at us tirelessly for hours, trying to push us out while we pushed back and repositioned. Avery was holding up well. Even with no divine power, she was tearing the enemy apart with her mace, shattering bones and skulls as they came at her. Then it started.

Journal Entry 323 Part 2

Two hours in, Avery suddenly recoiled back. By the time I got to her, she had recovered. She told me that she had done it and just like that, her holy aura lit up again except it was blue instead of the old sunny yellow. Four exhausting hours later, the undead stopped their push and started pulling back for the castle. We all took some time to regain our breaths. The Hind had completed it's mission, the Noble's district was a burning ruin. Not a single building was left standing aside from the castle, which seemed impervious to the spells being thrown at it. The Hind then tried attacking the giant figure, but spells were passing through it. With our way clear, our clerics and paladins tried tossing their holy spells at it but nothing was happening. It's like it's not here yet. We're taking a short break and then we're going to go sack the castle. Maybe putting down the necromancers will make that thing go away. Avery is in good spirits again with her divine power renewed. No one suffered an injury that couldn't be healed by the clerics. Broken bones, cuts and bruises but no dismemberment thank god.

>>17723259
blue flame instead of yellow...

Well, she's either getting power from the UD god now or she switched from torchlight to gas.

>>17723259
>Two hours in, Avery suddenly recoiled back. By the time I got to her, she had recovered.
>She told me that she had done it and just like that, her holy aura lit up again except it was blue instead of the old sunny yellow.

Aw shit son, probe that mind. Something is not right here.

>>17723283
>Divine power from the god of undeath
>Being used to destroy hordes of undead
I don't think so, Tim.

>>17723259
Betting she just switched from deity-power to faith-power.

Hey yall

I started a 1d4chan page on the Stranded in Fantasy stories

http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Stranded_in_fantasy

I've added all the journal entries from the first thread (which is about a third of all the journal entries, up nr. 109)

If someone else wants to add the rest - and keep the thing up to date for as long as 008 keeps up the good work

>>17723283
Well, in theory a blue sun burns hotter than a yellow one.

>>17723300
It would actually be easier since having control of the power source allows you to redirect it away from powering the undead.

>>17723310
is there a difference?

I honestly don't know D&D that well

>>17723300

Remember how Mike made a comment about clerics and warlocks not being so different? They still draw their powers from other powerful beings in return for service.

I'm not saying that Avery made a deal with a devil or something here, but I seriously doubt that she's using that sun god's power right now.

>>17723310
She simply found a way to never, ever get cut from her god again. She became her own god.

>>17723259

Two things.

>1. Like everone else says, time for a propper mindfuck. Looks like she's gone and prayed to a different god. And that's not good with her in enemy territory and all.

2. Athiest narrator using 'thank god'. Hmmmm somethings up...

>>17723300
Why not? Power is power. It's not like Pelor's spells can't be used against humans or whatever.

>>17723350
>2. Athiest narrator using 'thank god'. Hmmmm somethings up...

Atheists use that term all the time. It's just a common part of the english lexicon.

Plus, you can't really be an outright atheist in a setting like this where there is actual demonstrable proof of divine power. Now, you can deny WORSHIP of those gods, but that's something different.

>>17723350
>Athiest narrator using 'thank god'
Can simply be habit of language or whatever it's called. Atheists also say "Holy shit" sometimes.

>>17723343
In most D&D settings the good deities don't really mind if you shift between them. Maybe she went and got a helping hand from one of the other good ones until she can reconnect with the sun.

>>17723384

We don't know if it's a good deity. That's the problem.

Whatever caused Avery's powers to reignite, I seriously doubt it's due to reestablishing her connection to Pelor.

That's a good, clean burning divine power source there, I tell you what. Nice, clean burning heat that doesn't take away from the smell of the smiting. Worries of an explosion is minimum, you'd have to be stupid to get this to blow up on ya, I tell you what.

>>17723418
I highly doubt that she'd turn to an evil deity for any reason. Especially in the face of what evil deities do.

>>17723465
I was wondering whose voice I was reading that in.

I'm not quite sure what to think about this sudden change over to divine propane, I think it's a different god, maybe a neutral one because I doubt that using a evil god's energy against the undead would work.

>>17723523

I'm just wondering why she hasn't said anything regarding the change. Could she have tapped into something else unknowingly and still think she's using the sun god's power?

>>17723381
>>17723381
I'm as atheist as they come, and i'll still hse the phrase 'holy hell' to express shock. It's a vocabulary thing. Also, it cheapens the word 'holy' so that's a plus.

>>17723310
>>17723344
>>17723384
>>17723418
>>17723447
Yeah, i think that she's channeling her own righteousness and faith in herself at this point.

Wasn't Avery basically being like SunJesus earlier?
Maybe she's starting a new religion, mentally or something, and her faith in that is what she's using. A reformed sun god for a reformed sun church.

Sorry this is taking so long, it's a big post and writing about a siege isn't easy.

Oh damn, if Avery was the only "true" believer, and the sun god banked everything on her, she really might have changed some aspect of him.

>>17723897

Take as much time as you need. We'll all be here waiting for it.

>>17723897
Don't worry, take your time.

Journal Entry 324 Part 1

We entered the Noble's district. Any surviving nobles or staff seen trying to escape the district were captured, interrogated and executed. I found out why this happened. The king was a lich. Over time he converted the other noble families into various other undead loyal to him. He had subverted higher up members of the local churches and guilds as well. When the Orc forces started winning the battles, the king started losing it and started all of this just to keep his seat of power. To keep his crown, he turned the kingdom into the land of the undead, had all his subjects killed and made into a form more loyal to him. By the time we got to the castle, the undead had formed a defensive wall. We began our attack on the castle. The Hind did an opening strafing run on the wall of undead blocking the entrance with what spells the casters could put out followed by a grenade bombardment. Then we went in. Avery unexpectedly led the charge, inspiring the paladins and clerics right behind her. She did her supernova trick, thought rather then burn, the undead were physically pushed back while the living, well we felt like nothing could stop us, an emotional reinforcement of some kind. It helped.

Journal Entry 324 Part 2

We tore apart the undead and pressed into the castle and began clearing it floor by floor. The first floor only had a few wandering undead. The force started splitting up to cover as much of the castle as possible. Us Terrans stuck together of course. After the first floor, we started running into the necromancers. Something I can affect. Any that we came across was dead before they could toss their first spell. I learned of their magic traps from their mind and Jason disabled them somehow. We eventually made it to the throne room and met up with the , the doors all had some magic forcefield over them. With most of our casters on the Hind, dispelling them wasn't an option, so we improvised. We called up the grenadiers and rigged up a bomb. It wasn't enough to outright destroy the wall, but it shattered the stone enough that we could break through with the brute force of some of the stronger soldiers with us. Then we flooded into the throne room. It was probably a bad idea. The king/lich was in some ceremony circle surrounded by unmoving necromancers, or maybe they were undeath clerics? Whatever.

Journal Entry 324 Part 3

He didn't say a thing. No monologue, no death threats. He just unleashed his greatest spells and just tore us apart as fast as we could come in. All of us except the clerics and paladins. They were fighting back with their divine spells, burning him, but they were falling one at a time. I couldn't touch the mind of the lich, but I could tear through the necromancers around him. They weren't even all there anymore, puppets, but they did have memories. I found where his phylactery was. His crown. The idiot was wearing it. I told Avery but she couldn't move to act on it. And the rest of us were dead and dieing. Then just like that, the mp3 golem wandered in and started blasting “Love Shack.” It distracted the Lich enough for Avery to lash out and shatter his crown with her mace. The rest of surviving clerics and paladins pounced for the kill but were blown back when he lit up like an evil beacon, killing his circle of necromancers. The only thing keeping us from burning alive was Avery's own holy aura. They were tossing their spells at each other. Then Avery looked back at me and said goodbye, that it was time. The lich shrieked disintegrated and vanished except for his shadow burned in the wall. Then Avery simply vanished along with the entire roof of the castle. Our wounds were gone, the dieing were alive and well again.

>>17724057

>Then Avery looked back at me and said goodbye, that it was time.

Nooooooooooooooooooo

>>17724057
>Then Avery simply vanished along with the entire roof of the castle.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>17724057
She ascended, didn't she.
She's a god now.

augh crap, so many errors.

WTF!!! Do not tell me Avery is never coming back. Is she a god now?

>>17724105

>When someone asks if your a god...

>>17724057
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

>>17724057

>Then just like that, the mp3 golem wandered in and started blasting “Love Shack.”

YESSS

>Then Avery looked back at me and said goodbye, that it was time.

NOOOOOOO

>>17724057
>Then Avery looked back at me and said goodbye...

I highly doubt she's a god.

Likely she just ascended to be a greater servant, like an angel or an archon.

manly tears for Avery

manly tears all the way


also the team will need a new healbot

>>17724122
If you are referencing something then i dont get it.

>>17724155
he was referencing the first Ghostbusters movie. Go watch it, then you'll lol

>The lich shrieked disintegrated and vanished except for his shadow burned in the wall. Then Avery simply vanished along with the entire roof of the castle. Our wounds were gone, the dieing were alive and well again.

AVERY QUIT SHOWING OFF AND GET BACK HERE.


....Please?

>>17724152

So sad.

SO SAD!

>Ehhh, time to replace her.

Also, does this mean he had tender nothings with a possible god?

>>17724165
Ok i will

>>17724155
I think there's some card of card you need to turn in now.

Guys, calm the fuck down. Killing a load of zombies and a lich with the help of an army does not qualify you for apotheosis. Epic characters could do that on a whim and they're not gods.

>>17724057
. . .
Well, fuck.

>>17724220
The army that was dead?
The clerics and paladins who failed at killing the king?
Avery pretty much single handedly did that, and she's nowhere near epic level.

>>17724196
No not really the last and only time i saw that movie was a good 6 years ago and i was 14 at most then on ytv on a friday night during a marathon or something. Kinda hard to care about the movie at that age.

>>17724237
she is now

>>17724220

Well she did SOMETHING epic and now she's not here anymore.

So I have no fucking clue what's going on, but I don't think she's dead.

...Some manner of ascension unique to Terrans?
Maybe epic feats come more easily to them?

Sad to see Avery go, but she knew what she was doing and made a choice.

Life of a character on /tg/
1/ So she's Terran too and maybe fa/tg/girl, might be good
*long time without seeing her*
2/ YAY she's still alive!
3/ What a fucking self-righteous bitch, please make her die in a fire!
4/ Well, she might actually be cool. Also, just fuck already.
5/ Yay, Avery is broest cleric ever!
6/ So, she's the #1 priestess of her god right now and on a crusade for righteousness? Go for it, Avery!
7/ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, AAAAAAVVEEEEEEEEEEEERYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Journal Entry 325

It's been a few days since the battle of Wolflake. We're still occupying the city and have been collecting the corpses and cremating them, looting any surviving food or gear that the army can use. In a day or so, we're going to march back and deal with the siege on Hebiry which is still going on. As for the godshell, it's still here, but it has since turned to stone, possibly marble. We're going to attempt to pull it over using the Hind and some chains. It should be spectacular, and hopefully not in the airship exploding spectacular. As for Avery, I've been avoiding the issue. I don't know what happened but I touched her mind as she vanished. I can't explain what I saw there but she was happy. I don't know if I'll ever see her again but I miss her.

>Don't worry, we'll meet again one day when it's time. I'll even save you a seat.

Guys... I think she's really dead. I don't think she's coming back. The guy who said she found a way to channel her own faith? What would happen if you expended it all at once?

...Now I feel bad about making that Propane joke.

WHAT

WHAAAAAAAT

HOLY FUCK

Ooooooshiet i think she ascended... And with the journal i think they two can talk to eachother now

Theory:
All gods are ascended Terrans.
So who is Journal Writer going to be?

>>17724388
Not only gods. Remember that lawyer?

>>17724388

I'm betting some neutral-aligned god of knowledge. Considering he's a psion and keeping this journal.

>>17724388
TNO

>>17724403
Devil lords are kind of like infernal gods, really.

well i didn't need a reason to drink tonight but it's nice to know i've got one

008 you are an awesome writefag and this is one of the best ongoing things in /tg/ right now.

>>17724442
>right now
that's not how you spell ever

>>17724388

You know what I just thought of?

When were all the guilds constructed? Was it around the same time as the churches? Maybe members from the previous Terran group became masters of different crafts, like thievery or artificing and set up guilds the same way they set up churches?

Is it too early to convert the sun church to the church of Avery?

Journal Entry 326

We're on the march back for Hebiry along the trade road. We should be there in three days. If the undead are still attacking, there must be some necromancers involved still. With the Hind, we have regular contact with the city at least and a steady stream of supplies. I don't know what's going to happen with Wolflake. There are still mindless undead wandering around here and there, and the whole area has this creepy vibe to it. I “overheard” some of the clerics talking and they're pretty sure that if the area is left as is, it's going to just turn into a giant undead swamp. Maybe when the tribals return, they can clean it up. Knowing the region's past though? Everyone is probably going to swarm in and more wars will follow. The whole place is fucking cursed. Everyone wants it and there's nothing here worth holding on to. It's not even in a tactically viable location, and with the advent of cargo airships, land routes aren't as important. Well, whatever. It's land, I guess that's good enough. In other news, Marcus is working on an epic ballad about the battle of Wolflake. If anything is going to make his name famous, it's that. I hope he doesn't botch it.

>>17724510
Would it be bad making them pay a Tax for that conversion?

Are we closing in on 2 years for the crew yet?

>>17724510

It wouldn't be too hard to do that with the one that she already started reforming. They already see her as a sort of messianic figure thanks to her strong connection to divine power and her actions.

>>17724237
The army that held off the zombie horde.
The clerics and paladins who weakened a lich. (a regular lich, not a demilich or akalich)

The most likely event is that her deity acted through her, and the power expended destroyed her body, so the god took her soul up to him.

You do not get to be a god by killing one asshole, no matter how evil he is.

>>17724540
But it sure would be cool tho. Also Terrans dont need to splain shit

>>17724540
No but if you have enough faith to power yourself (If that was the case) you may just be able to shoot yourself up to godhood.

A giant statue's worth of marble could make some serious cash when sold to masons and stoneworkers.

See if you can't get in on that.

So many people want her to be a god, it's ridiculous.

If she really does, then I give up entirely on trying to understand the pattern of divinity with this quest, because it sure as hell isn't follow standard D&D.

>>17724596
It may be cursed marble.

>>17724637
>So many people want her to be a god, it's ridiculous.

I'm not sure of the idea of her becoming a god, at least not yet.

Considering that she was able to leave that message for the journalist though, and seemed to have something planned that would pay off later on though, she still has a presence in this world and is in the process of working on something big. Something that involves the rest of the Terrans.

>>17724637
I dont know anything about D&D. Nothing at all.

>>17724596

Yes, because EVERYBODY wants some god-level evil, most likely possesed marble turned into a statute of a local hero.

>Smoooooth.

well, with one less party member Im sure that dragon lady will be pleased that Marcus's share in profit goes up.

>>17724679
You just don't tell them. It came from a mine somewhere.

>>17724665
You either gotta perform an obscene magical ritual, be hand-picked by an overgod, or inherit a dead deity's powers.

Killing a lich doesn't do it.

>>17724708
Terrans might have been picked by gods for this purpose, especially if the other gods are Terrans too.

>>17724685
Nah, they'll donate it to a charity under Avery's name.

>>17724728
Where the hell did this "terrans become gods" idea come from? You people are horrible about this. You find an idea that doesn't sound the slightest bit probably, and run off with it!

Stop. going. full. retard.

>>17724756
>probably
probable. Fuck.

>>17724756
one terran is very high up in hell's chain of command, it gives some weight to the idea

>>17724756
What is a charity going to do with tons of marble?
>>17724740
The idea came from the idea of the older crews having a hand in making the churches.

>>17724756

It's just a theory, dude. Calm down.

I personally don't see a whole lot of evidence for it specifically, but it is clear that the Terrans that were brought over have some sort of destiny that ordinary citizens of this world don't.

>>17724775
One exceptionally intelligent Terran, amongst the first of his kind, took advantage of the nature of devils to advance himself.

I'm done arguing this. If 008 wants her to be a goddess, he'll make her a goddess.

>>17724802
He ment Her share of the loot not the marble

I find it more likely she's become something equivalent to a Saint. When her life could no longer be sustained, her deity took her into its care.

Journal Entry 327

We've set up camp in one of the guard outposts along the trade route for the night. With any luck, we should end this war tomorrow when we put down the remnants of the undead army sieging Hebiry. We've run out of grenades but more are being made in the city. The Hind should deliver a new batch in the morning before we leave. They work very well at blowing apart the undead, especially the ones that have been blessed. Mike's girlfriend has been trying to fill the gap that Avery left behind. It's not going to work out. Sure, she's a nice girl and she tries, but she's no Terran, she doesn't understand most of what we're talking about. Also what she does is the opposite of what Avery did. At least she makes Mike happy.

>>17724897

Awww...poor scary little devil woman. She just wants to help her potential hubby's bros feel better after loosing their friend. She means well and isn't a huge bitch like the dragon. Already a huge improvement.

>>17724897
The journal writer seems really sullen. I wonder if one day he's going to just leave his body and not go back.

>>17724979
What if he goes on an medium to long term out of body adventure, who will write the journal?

>>17725043

Jason, I hope. Second most awesome character.

>>17725043
A timeskip?
I think he'll just return to writing it once done.

>>17725043

No one, I would imagine. Unless he figures out how to interact with the physical world in ghost mode, the last journal entry is going to be something along the lines of either:

1). Screw this game, I am just going incorporeal
2). Writing something and just stopping mid-word. Death finally found him and there is nothing more to write.

>>17725054

IGolem.

More importantly, who will take care of his body?

I can see him leaving it in the care of the psion school, expecting it to be taken care of professionally, but then the bald chick just molests him all day while he's out.

>>17725084

>implying iGolem wouldn't just draw memes and image macros everywhere.
>implying future generations wouldn't try and decipher the mysterious symbols and glyphs to understand the source of the journalist's power
>implying we would stop reading it

>>17725088
She works for the Gnome Family in charge of the Merchant Guild, molests his psyche or whatever it is which would be missing if the Journal Writer is off being incorporeal.

>>17725084

Speaking of which:

My Ipod starting playing "My Melancholy Blues" by Queen...

It would be fitting for the writers mood right now, wouldn't it?

>>17725116

"I don't know grandmaster, I think I have the pronunciation right, but it's a strange language..."

"PROCEED."

"Itty bitty bay bee"

"itty bitty bo aht"

"I don't bel eve it"

"hab eeb it!"

"Twink ee house!"

"..."

"I don't detect any effect, grandmaster..."

"AGAIN."

>>17725043
Automatic writing. Like those fake psychics who claim to see the future and distant places by closing their eyes and moving a pen randomly on a page. He goes out of body, leaves it someplace safe, and it acts like an automated stenographer, recording what he thinks, sees, and experiences.

>>17725167
Or have the iGolem follow his astral projection/ghost around, and record some of what he says.

>>17725140

Journal Entry 328

We made a hard march and came to the rear flank of the remaining undead force. We had the Hind do a low aerial spellcaster bombardment followed by grenades from both our forces and those on the Hebiry wall. We then marched in to clean up the rest of the enemy. The fight was messy. Most of the undead and their unliving siege engines were shattered or in pieces and we had to deal with loose limbs and torsos flopping around the battlefield. We managed to put them down after a few hours work. We couldn't find the controlling necromancers right away but managed to track them to a cave after nightfall, their campfire illumination gave them away. They surrendered rather then put up a fight. They are currently being hanged by order of command. After all of this, I can't blame them. I picked at their minds for anything of interest. They were people who found no comfort among the living, either by choice or environment. The problem is that they went too far and never realized it. Now they're paying the price. Us Terrans could very well overstep the line in the same way in our arrogance. I'll have to be careful.

>>17725371

If your having problems with corpse disposal, just round up some pigs, those fuckers will eat anything. Seriously, the most prolific serial killer in Canada used pigs to dispose of the bodies, and it worked for decades.

The celebration has turned into a full blown festival. Wine, music, food, plays and dancing. Marcus is doing his stage performance. He finished his war ballad and it's been pretty popular so far. Mike and his girl ran off on their own, possibly to summon demons. Austin, Max and Jason got lucky. We all were having a relatively good time. Well, they were. I was having a hard time getting in to it, what with another of our numbers gone; even if Avery wasn't killed, she's no longer with us. Rather then sit and mope, I dropped the barriers and let the celebration consume me. Most of it's a blur and I still have this hangover, but I woke up with most of my clothes missing and another tattoo on my other arm. It's the radiation symbol. What the fuck? To make matters worse, people keep giving me odd looks of recognition. The others won't talk about it but get a bemused expression. There's going to be some mindrape soon if I don't get answers.

Alright, I'm going to drop off for awhile. My other group is gathering and we're going a session tonight. I'll be back in 5-6 hours.

>>17726863

I would like to hear some recaps of those games.

>>17728976
it's like WW and Storytiem combined

>>17728976

Maybe we'll make another thread about it, but we're kind of getting off topic, let's save our posts for the journal and discussion about that.

True. So, how do you think Raina will take the "Saved the world" bit? Also, will she capitalize on Avery's death for a "bigger share?" Will this cause contrition with the other members? What other people do you think will die, and by what?

>>17729086

He'll end everything with a tear-jerker sacrifice when the mp3 golem throws himself down the bbeg's throat.

>>17729086
> Also, will she capitalize on Avery's death for a "bigger share?

I'd say that there will be blood unless Marcus stops the narrator or tells the wife to shut her mouth preemptively.

>>17729086
Bitch best be joking if she thinks she's getting more of a cut because Avery's gone. The fucking bard needs to make it clear that the company ain't gonna be her personal money-machine.

>>17729103

(Yes, I know it is trite, but it totally would fit. Plus this is the iGolem. It gives 0 fucks about anything)

>>17729086
bard will be killed by some bastard child or former lover coming to get back at him
warlock will be killed by his girlfriend having a demon superpowered explosive orgasm
artificer dies by one of his inventions malfunctioning

of course this all assumes that the wizard doesn't blow them all up

>>17729347
Psion will go spirit walking and never come back?

>>17729364
If he is a psion uncarnate, he is going to go full incorporeal as a matter of course

>>17729364
Psion goes spirit walking, comes back to the spymaster standing over his corpse gloating. Proceeds to strangle the spymaster. Or possess him, erasing his mind and wearing him like a suit of elf-flesh power armor.

I just had a thought:

Avery made redeeming the narrator her main goal, yes?
>Save you a seat
Maybe this is all one giant xanatos gambit on her part to ultimately bring the narrator to good to become her champion.

Did she plan this?

>>17729347
Or, more likely, his wife is going to decide she wants some dragon cock and work some reverse polymorph bullshit

>>17729815
im sure he'll love that...

>>17729663
No.

Journal Entry 330

Apparently after challenging some dwarves to a drinking contest, I went on stage and told the tale known back home as “Big Trouble in Little China.” The kids loved it. New rule. No more opening the gates at a celebration. Anyways. The refugees have started returning to Wolflake. We're going to hang around town a few more days and if nothing else is going on, return to Aeyllin. We have gotten our mercenary pay and have been discharged from the war. For the moment, the continent is at peace until at least tomorrow when the city is expecting a congress of local kingdoms who will decide the fate of Wolflake. All that remain of that kingdom are peasants and tribals. It'd be nice if they gave the area to the tribals but I doubt that's going to happen. They like men in castles wearing crowns to be in control, not Orcs in furs or wild-elves wearing whatever they woke up laying in. It's a political situation that hasn't occurred in centuries. We may stick around just to see go on. In the meantime, the Hind is shuttling passengers back and forth between here, Rosenbridge and Aeinfield and making a nice tidy profit.

COMBINE!

imagine if you will, a self propelled cart.
using a magic steam engine, with bigass magic speakers on it.
attached to it, our favorite mp3 BROlem

with the party bard riding shotgun.


imagine this rolling boombox blasting queen and abba to buff whole contingents of fighters.

goddamn.

I think the Terrans have been brought over in order to drive progress and introduce new innovation to a stagnant world.

There's progress and then there's just being COMPLETELY FUCKING AWESOME for its own sake.

And I have no issue with the latter.

Journal Entry 331

Jason comes and grabs me out of bed all excited about something. It's barely sunup and he's pushing me to a window and pointing up into the air above the city. I don't see a damn thing except blinding sunlight. After he manages to calm down and I manage to wake up some, he explains. He sees an airship hovering above town. No one else does. I'm willing to take his word for it. I tried reading out and sure enough, I can detect thought floating above the city, at least 15 people. Some kind of invisibility spell I'm guessing. I didn't detect hostility so I figured it belonged to one of the representatives and they were just checking things out before landing. I put the incident out of my mind and went and had breakfast. A few hours later, it's still there. I ended up grabbing Jason and headed over to the Hind to inform our pilot, Marika, of it so she doesn't have the worlds first midair collision when she takes off for a trading run. Then he showed up. An unassuming sun priest with a staff. He wandered over and started asking questions. Who owned this airship, who made it, who made the modifications and so on. I may of figured the guy as just a curious priest with an interest for airships except that his staff looked suspiciously like a long rifle with a sun church symbol sticking out of the barrel. Jason noticed too from the sudden change of his stance. He had a very guarded mind, enough so that I couldn't of dove in without him noticing and resisting. So I made myself clear. I drew my pistol on him. Most people here wouldn't know what it was. I saw recognition in his eyes. Before I could make my demand of him, to explain himself, he fired off some blinding light. By the time I recovered he was gone and Jason said the airship was starting to pull away, heading north. I'd of had the Hind give chase if we were all here, but we're scattered around town. We're going to resupply and head off after them.

Assassins I'm betting.

They'll be disappointed to know that Avery is no longer on this plane of existence at the moment.

>>17731188
>t his staff looked suspiciously like a long rifle

Perhaps the other Terrans are still around?

And I'm pretty sure an earlier journal entry said something about Terrans creating the church.

>>17731188

So is that a confirmed Terran?

I'm going to put my money on Terran descendant. Who's with me?

>>17731320

Even if he's not, he clearly has familiarity with Terran technology and how to use it.

I'm betting descendent, like that elf girl whose family could read English.

I can't help but wonder why none of them has tried a crossbow. They couldn't get a bow to work properly, but why not give a crossbow a shot.

>adj. allatori
An allatori crossbow.

>rifles

Oh boy. Looks like the next war is already won. Smoothbores? It's still anyone's game. But if someone's on rifles already, whoever goes up against them is going to get buttfucked from hundreds of yards away.

ooooo shiet. things are finally being connected with the church and the Terrans

>>17731188

The plot thickens. Again.

Anyway, here is a WIP of Jason and our favorite spymaster. Normally I would just post the "final" version, but seeing as I went full retard and did another 2 character shot, it is probably going to take another couple days to get done. Fucking spymaster.

>>17731981
Ok, I just gotta say that the look on Jason's face is goddamned perfect. My only criticism is that his left arm seems a bit short.

>>17731981

Nice!

Also we are about 25 posts away from autosage.

>>17731981
shouldn't the mp3 be standing on his shoulder?

>>17731981

>>17731981
Oh man, you're awesome. Seriously, all of these are fucking great.

>listening to IPod

Hot damn Jason needs more awesome stuff to do.

And your work is awesome too. Keep up the good work.

>>17732014
No wait, forget me. I didn't realize his shoulder pads at first.

>>17732028

Naw. It will make an appearance in Mike's picture probably. Unless someone actually captures that damn thing and makes it their familiar. This is just a Jason with a random piece of tech. Chronologically, before the golem was made, anyway. Not all the portraits are current with where the story is at. Unfortunately, I can't drawfag in real time.

>>17732076
alright, as long as we end up with the igolem eventually

>>17732092
look back in the threads. It's already been drawn.

>>17731981
Oh damn, look at that detail. God damn you're awesome.

Journal Entry 332

We're loaded with supplies and hauling ass Northward, the general direction Jason saw the other airship go. This might be a wild goose chase since only Jason can see it and we don't have a way to track it. According to the map, if it continued in this direction, it should pass near Eridale. Austin seems to think that airships might leave a magic emission trail behind them and is working below decks into making some kind of magic tracking lens. If we don't see anything by the time we reach Eridale's boarders, we're going to turn around and head back, probably just return to Aeyllin. In other news, winter approaches. This brings about problems such as how to stay warm on an airship, how to heat the below decks without starting an uncontrollable fire and dealing with ice buildup on deck. Speaking of that, I think we're at or near our second year anniversary here. We've come a long way baby.

>>17732405
Theoretically, one could enchant the lower decks with Endure Elements - keeping the entire level at a nice, balmy temperature.

>>17732405
with 330+ journal entries you'd think it would be longer than two years, what with not righting every single day and having his pens freeze over for a good portion of one season

>>17732629
It seems like he occasionally has more than one entry per day.

And we're in autosage. New Thread: >>17732681
