You go down the chimney of the house, coughing away the dust when you land. Thankfully, this is the house of Valegia, one of the village elders, and she's always been nice to you. You dash through the cottage doors, just as Bradford turns the corner, the two of you run, thinking Alina is still behind you, when she suddenly jumps out from the corner your about to round. Startled, you grab Bradford and run towards your house. That's when you hear the scream. Confused, you dash faster. By now, you all mentally agree the game is over, and Alina is right behind you. As you burst through the door, you see your mother, being choked by your belligerent father. Panicked you suddenly release off a burst of fire. Your father moves away immediately, but your mother is hit square in the chest. What's more, as she falls the fireball hits the furnace, blowing up immediately. Your father grabs the three of you and puts up a cocoon of earth with his providence. When he finally deems it safe, the earthen shell breaks down. You see your house burning down around you, and your mother on the floor. All you've ever known
--Nathaniel, WAKE UP--
all you've ever cared about, is going up in flames. It feels as if your very soul is ablaze. You look down and see your hands are suddenly covered in fire one second, water the
--Damn it, someone get Windvale! Nathaniel you have to WAKE UP
next, shifting between elements rapidly. Your father grabs you by the shoulders and makes you look into his eyes. "Nathaniel, you must-"
-WAKE UP!

Call a Titan and go on a COOKIE RAMPAGE

Basically do something silly today. Everyone gets to PARTY today as celebration for yesterday's events (the catch being that they either must participate in the festival or get back to work).

>>744099
Geeze, Dad was a dick.

Wake up; you got a head start with kome calling it out at the end of the last thread.

>>744099
You wake up.
You are surrounded by your friends; Windvale, Bradford, Alina, Nyss, Recticulus, and Oracle. You have been moved to the hospice. Your skin is covered in ash. Windvale looks at you seriously. "Nathaniel, Valegia died last night. At that moment, you erupted into fire. We think your ability to copy providences returned, and defaulted to your last providence: your father's. Luckily, Nyss wasn't in bed, but we had to get Oracle just to move you here and Recticulus to keep you from bursting into fire again. Also...I'm assuming you remembered some of what happened that night? We could tell you were having a nightmare."
>Open Input

>I'm assuming you remembered some of what happened that night?
...my father, attacking my mother. I tried to stop him, and she burned for it. Everything burned.

"Just thinking about how the worst @#$%ed-up day of my life was also the one that defined my position as king. Ask Bradford or Alina, they know."

Slap yourself conscious.

"Okay, first things first. One: who the @#$% is Valegia? Two: how @#$%ed is the kingdom right now? Three: Where do I need to go to command my people for our newest @#$%-fest? Four: Where the @#$% is Nyss? Five: Where the @#$% is Slimtail? Six: I will not stop saying @#$% until I know exactly how @#$%ed we are. @#$%ing clear?"

>providence copying.
...Nooot sure how great an idea it was to seal this away but I can understand the fear.

"The day my mother died. Dad was chocking her but it was me who burnt her alive."

>>744146
Valegia is one of if not the last of the elders who sealed your providence away. He was mentioned very briefly a few times. They were in charge of the day to day of the country, I assume more elders live but he might of been the last of those that sealed us.

>>744179
Oh no, the other 4 is still alive. This is just a a part of your providence.

>Memories Unlockeed 1/5
>Partial Providence Unlocked: Copycat - You gain 1% of the providence of another, but the person you copy from can only use 1% of their providence.

>>744197
Can we copy only 1 skill at a time? Presumably, we're copying our dead father right now, would we have to drop that to copy another, or will they slowly accumulate?

If we drop a copy (assuming we can) does that restore full power to the person we were copying?

What's the range? Activation conditions? ...obviously, the target being alive, or in reach, isn't one. Does the copy have to be consensual?

(Right now it looks like the best use of this might be offensive power nullification- copy a foe's power just do cripple it for them).

Do we have conscious control over what we're choosing to copy?

>>744225
You don't know. That part of your memory is still locked you seem. You don't want to experiment right now, but you might want to ask an elder. However, the Overlords just sent you a message to meet you in their tent. Apparently, the 4 of you will be teleporting back to the hidden forest, to show you the new invention of the Mechanitors.

>>744325
Well then let's go do that, make sure we tell someone where we are going. Have we been doing that? It's important people know where we are going. Do we have a line of succession if we should suddenly die?

>>744325
The teleportation goes off without a hitch. The clearing seems the same, except for a few differences. There are far more Overlords and servitors awake and about than last time, and there is many large pieces of machinery. Exulon comes to meet you, and initiates a thought-speak. "Morning King. It's been a while. We're testing a new techno-What was that!" The Mechanitor is interrupted by an explosion.

Golems are attacking.

>>744331
You recover quickly. On the horizon, you see a battleline of golems followed by their chariot riding-controllers. This wave seems to be entirely made of lava golems, but there is a large object following them. It takes a moment for you to realize what it is, and when you do you nearly break down. It is a demon, at full power, flying towards you.

>>744339
At the sight of the demon, the Overlords go into Overdrive, facing their invention. Exulon grabs you by the arms with your manipulators. "I need you to hold them off until we're ready. What we have might be able to keep that demon down for a while, but we can't be disturbed while the pilots are prepared."

>You are wearing Heavy Armor, Gungir, and Caliburn.
>You must hold them off for 5 turns.
>In combat range is 2 Ubiystvos.
>In Psychic range is the Ubiystvos and a Controller on a chariot.

...just once I would like for things to go off without a hitch. Alright can we use that move that knocks them out of commission for a turn?

>Do we have a line of succession if we should suddenly die?
We have nobles, generals, lieutenants, and friends. We also have an unborn child, though I think technically he or she would be a bastard if we died before the wedding. Not really an issue for the sole successor, though.

If we died, I assume one of our closest friends / allies would be installed as regent until the kiddo came of age. Our core group is loyal enough, and we have a direct enemy before us (and maker blessing the kingdom through the wish), so I'd think it unlikely they'd splinter into factions and start a civil war over succession. It's possible without a strong independent leader, and considering who our bride-to-be is, that our kingdom might end absorbed into the elf empire instead of surviving as an independent nation, but that wouldn't be the worst thing.

>You don't want to experiment right now, but you might want to ask an elder.
Experimenting would be a bad idea, as we could conceivably permanently damage the providences of allies. Talking to the elders, and Oracle, for insight at the first opportunity would be smarter.

>Hold off a demon
...who teleported in with us?

Also it's been long enough I forget the rules in this setting: what kills demons?

>what do
Do any of the enemy have providences? We could hit them with our copy ability, crippling their power down to 1% output. Might as well experiment on hostiles.

>>744366
>...who teleported in with us?
No one. You only have the Overlords and Servitors for backup.

>Also it's been long enough I forget the rules in this setting: what kills demons?
Nothing you know of so far. It goes demon beats magic beats ???.

>>744386
Fuck. I cleared my browsing history, sorry.

Get the @#$%ing army! WHY IS NOBODY SUMMONING THE ARMY?!

Have them push the enemy golems in the demon's path. Your units will get plastered if they make contact with the demon, but those golems are likely anti-demon protected to prevent friendly fire (for the sake of preserving expensive gadgets).

>>744505
It would take too long: no one there can teleport that many soldiers. If you want however, Thexus can teleport as many heroes as you want, minus any warbots.

>>744343
Only on the Controller, the golem's don't breathe! Of course, they're are other uses for the bubble...

>>744343
Going to assume you want to target the controller. 2d5 please.

Stab him in the gut with your brand new weapon: a malfunctioning steam engine with thermal runes welded to 18 different flag poles!

... Boy, Bradford really screams at the magineers to make weird stuff when he's drunk. Last year, he got them to build a pitchfork ball with a gravity rune and five boxes of fine twine.

Kome with the crit!

And so it begins.

The controller falls out of his chariot as he scratches at his throat. Without his concentration, the golems fall apart into molten piles of rock. The fall out of the chariot also kills the controller.

>>746534
A uniform whirring sound can be heard from where the Mechanitors are working.

The first signs of the demon's retinue appear, as lesser Demons begin to rush forward. It appears that the Breakers are now online however, and gun down many of them on the way.

(You now have 3 Breakers and 10 servitors fighting with you. There are 3 lesser demons in melee range, and 7 lesser demons in psychic range.)
>SuffocateOn cool down

Shield the breakers, so they can gun down enemies with impunity.

You shield the Breakers.

The demons attack while you're distracted. 5 manage to close into melee. (My roll - yours for damage.)

Another Lava Golem bounds over the hill, as a mechanical voice announces in the Servitor's language. [b]"Please stand clear. TALOS secondary AI coming online."[b]

There are now 5 demons in melee range, and 5 in psychic range. There is now a Lava Golem in psychic range.
>SuffocateOn cool down

(Block) on the nearest enemy Golem. What kind of roll is required for that?

rolled 2, 1, 4, 4, 1, 3 = 15

---

>>747927
No roll required.

The golem makes no actions as he is blocked.

6 demons make it into melee, as 4 more are gunned down by Breakers. (2d10 Armor roll vs this.)

A shining crown of steel begins to rise from the ground as the Mechanitors scramble into combat positions.

The Breakers fire down another 5 demons, leaving only one in combat with you. A Watcher suddenly emerges from the shadows and screams, causing you to lose your focus and release your psychic powers. The Lava Golem blazes into melee combat with the Breakers, who are now unprotected. Finding 4 lesser demons in your way, you are now too surrounded to attempt any psychic powers.
>SuffocateDistracted

>>749824
I guess we choose attack, then.

>>749914
That would be 3d10 if you choose to attack a single enemy, or 5d10 if you choose to attack all 5. Alternatively, you could retreat and risk damage in order to help out the breakers.

>Attack One enemy
>Attack All enemies
>Retreat into Breaker's combat

I'm thinking retreat-since I can't help but imagine that unless we can down ALL the enemies around us quickly we're going to get blenderized by the incoming attacks if we're on our own.
